The season is barely a month old and already Wright State senior left-hander Zane Collins has won two Horizon League Pitcher of the Week awards, the second of which was announced Monday.
Collins capped a three-game sweep of Valparaiso on Sunday, holding the Crusaders scoreless through six innings on the way to a 7-0 win for the Raiders in the first HL series of the year.

The Dayton Dragons managed four hits Friday night at Fifth Third Field in an 8-1 loss to Peoria, but Jose Siri had one of them, extending his team-record hitting streak to 27 games.
Siri swatted the first pitch he saw leading off the first inning for a double and now owns what is believed to be the fifth-longest hitting streak in Midwest League history, longest since 2000 when Garvin Wright of Michigan hit safely in 29 straight.
The league record is 35, set in 1977 by Waterloo's Tony Toups, who played three seasons in the Indians farm system and never made the majors.
Siri's is the longest current streak in the minor leagues. That record is 69 games by Joe Wilhoit of the Western League in 1919.
An outfielder from the Dominican Republic, Siri is hitting .342 with 15 home runs since May 21 with a slugging percentage of .658, third in the minors over that span.
After a rain delay of just over an hour, Peoria scored twice in the first and once in the second before adding three in the fifth for a 6-0 lead, eventually denying the Dragons their first series sweep since they took four in a row from Fort Wayne from June 30 to July 3.
Dayton scored in the fifth when Siri reached on an error and came home on a two-out error in the outfield on a ball hit by Taylor Trammell.
Trammell is another hot-hitting Dragon. A first-inning single gave him a hit in 20 of his last 21 games.
The outfielder is second in the MWL with 101 hits while leading the league in stolen bases (28). The Georgia native also ranks in the top five in the MWL in RBIs (54), runs (55), triples (9) and total bases (161).
Dragons tales
• After a slow start following his promotion from Billings on June 22, Mark Collymore has settled in. Over his last six games, he is hitting .375 with a home run to raise his average from .189 to .245. Gabrille Ovalle has also rallied, going from .071 to .208. Shane Mardirosian is still looking for a groove, hitting .196.
• It was a tough Fifth Third Field debut for pitcher Alex Webb on Friday. Starting in place of ace Scott Moss, who went on the disabled list July 18 with an undisclosed injury, he lasted three innings, allowing three runs on five hits, striking out two and walking three. Peoria hit back-to-back two-out home runs in the first off Webb. He allowed his third run on a bases-loaded wild pitch.
Moss leads the MWL in wins (10) and strikeouts (119).
• Dayton's 6-5 win over Peoria in 13-innings Thursday night snapped an eight-game losing streak in extra-inning games. The Dragons had won five of their first six extra-inning games before the slide.

A high-performance ATV with a triple-barrel souvenir launcher on the back has turned in the best performance night after night at Great American Ball Park since the All-Star break. By itself, Redzilla is worth the price of admission — especially for fans who catch the T-shirts or soft baseballs it fires high into the stands.
Redzilla distracts fans for only a few minutes during a game. Cincinnati Reds fans have to watch the real show the rest of the night, and it hasn't been pretty this week.
ROTATION NEWS: Stephenson gets another chance
The Miami Marlins had a 2-0 lead four batters into the game Friday. That was all they needed to beat the Reds 3-1 at Great American Ball Park. The game started a
"We weren't able to do much," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "We hit a few balls hard, but they didn't go anywhere."
Big picture: The Reds (40-56) fell a season-high 16 games under .500. They have lost seven of eight games on this homestand. They have the third-worst record in the National League.
Big play: Giancarlo Stanton scored from third on a wild pitch in the first inning as the Marlins took a 2-0 lead. That turned out to be the winning run.
NOTES: Gennett getting more playing time
Key stat: The Reds collected only four hits. It was the fifth time this season they've recorded four or fewer hits.
Missed chances: The Reds left the bases loaded in the fourth, and they loaded the bases with one out in the seventh and failed to score.
The Reds offense continues to slump. This was the fifth time in the eight games since the All-Star break, they have scored two runs or fewer.
"We talk a lot about just staying with the process," Price said. "You can't force the result. You can't say, 'Today's the day I get four hits and break out of this.' If you're chasing hits, you end up chasing borderline pitches or pitches in the zone or pitches you don't particularly like to hit, especially early in the count."
Better performance: Reds starter Homer Bailey allowed two earned runs on eight hits in six innings. In his previous start, he allowed eight earned runs on eight hits in four innings. He lowered his ERA from 10.13 to 8.56.
The game started one hour and 45 minutes late because of rain.
"With the delay and everything, I thought we did a really good job," Bailey said. "Sometimes you just get beat. That's the way it goes. ... I think it's going to be an up-and-down battle this year. There's not really much I can do about it. You just try to keep taking the ball and compete with what you have that day. Today you could tell the fastball had more life as opposed to a few other games this year."
Defensive gem: Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton threw out Marcell Ozuna at home for the second out of the sixth inning. Ozuna tried to score from second on a single by J.T. Realmuto. Hamilton recorded his eight assist, tying Adam Duvall and Melky Cabrera for most outfield assists in baseball.
Key miscue: Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett threw the ball past shortstop Zack Cozart into left field while trying to turn a double play in the seventh inning. The error allowed the Marlins to extend their lead to 3-1. Christian Yelich drove in Miguel Rojas with a single two batters later.
On the board: The Reds trailed 2-0 when Billy Hamilton drove in Scott Schebler with a sacrifice fly in the third.
Old faithful: Marlins starter Jose Urena started every inning by spraying a mouthful of water high into the air on the mound. Urena (8-4, 3.78) allowed one earned run on three hits in six innings.

Former Dayton Flyers guard Brian Roberts will play in Greece next season, according to multiple reports.
Roberts, 31, will play with Olympiacos B.C. in Piraeaus, Greece. That's just southwest of the capital, Athens.
This will be the first time Roberts has played in Europe since 2012, when he helped lead Brose Basket Bamberg to its third straight national championship. He started his professional career in 2008-09 in Israel.
RELATED: Tom Archdeacon on Brian Roberts
Roberts appeared in 41 games with the Charlotte Hornets last season, averaging 3.5 points, 1.3 assists and 1. rebound. Roberts made his NBA debut in 2012 with New Orleans. In five NBA seasons, he appeared in 314 games and averaged 6.6 points.
NCAA NEWS: Tournament change should be good for UD
Roberts played for the Flyers from 2004-08 and is the fourth-leading scorer in school history (1,962 points). UD inducted Roberts into its hall of fame in February.

Best known for the annual Sauerkraut Festival, the village of Waynesville has produced its share of football talent over the years. The Spartans have fielded a team on the gridiron since the mid-1960's and have been part of the Fort Ancient Valley Conference, the Kenton Trace Conference and the Southwestern Buckeye League.
Here's who we consider the all-time seven best football players at Waynesville High School. Have something to say about this alphabetical list? Email your comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.
»MIAMISBURG: Top 7 all-time Vikings
»TROY: Top 7 all-time Trojans
»PIQUA: Top 7 all-time Indians
»FAIRMONT EAST: Top 7 all-time Falcons
Location: Waynesville
Affiliation: Southwestern Buckeye League, Buckeye Division
Division: Division V, Region 20
Coach: Scott Jordan
2017 season opener: at Bethel-Tate, Aug. 25
»RELATED: Top 7 all-time players at Xenia, Coldwater, Beavercreek, Alter, Centerville, St. Henry, Valley View and Wayne
1. Bo Bradley-RB/LB-1971: A bruising two-way player who was the Spartans MVP his junior and season seasons. The running back/linebacker was an All-Dayton area performer and All-American honorable mention.
2. Joe Bradley-RB/LB-2000: Like father, like son…Joey Bradley is one of only two Spartans to rush for more than 5,000 yards in his career. Bradley ran for nearly 18-hundred yards and 17 touchdowns as a sophomore. A bruising inside runner like his father Joey ran for 39 career touchdowns and was named second team all-state.
3. Luke Creditt-QB-2011: Easily the most prolific passer in Waynesville football history. Creditt threw for more than 43-hundred yards in his two seasons in orange and black. He led the Spartans to a 10-0 season in 2011 and the top seed in Division 4, region 16.
4. Eric Florence-QB/DB-1969: The early years of Spartans football was highlighted by this three-sport star. Florence was a stand-out performer on both sides of the ball, throwing touchdown passes and taking them away. He still holds the school record with five interceptions in a 1967 game against Kings. Florence was an all-state catcher and ended up playing baseball at Miami University.
5. Rob Kallage-QB/LB-1990: One of the best athletes to suit up for the Spartans. Kallage was the Southwest District Back of the Year in 1989 and named second team all-state. A three-year starter at quarterback and linebacker, Kallage was also one of the state's best baseball players and played college baseball at Florida International.
6. Seth Millar-RB-2009: Waynesville's all-time rushing leader with 5,458 yards, Millar ran for 74 scores in his four year career. Small in stature, Millar did most of his damage running outside the tackles. Seth shares the school record for longest touchdown run, a 95 yard scamper in 2007 against Carlisle. He ran for six scores in a game twice in his career.
7. Russell Winsted-RB/LB-1983: Ranks third all-time on the Spartans rushing list with 2,783 yards on the ground. Winsted also anchored the defense at middle linebacker. He was named second team all-state his junior year when he led Waynesville to their first playoff game. Winsted scored 30 touchdowns in that 1981 season. He was slowed by health issues his senior season.
Special Mention
Tim Williams-K-1989: A kicker usually isn't among a school's all-time best, but Williams certainly deserves to be on the list. He booted a state record 57-yard field goal in 1988, a record that stood for more than a decade and remains among the top five longest in state history. Williams also kicked a 51-yarder his freshman season. He went on to handle the kicking duties for four seasons at Ohio State.

Making his way through enemy terrain, on the lookout for both danger and opportunity, Muldrow's journey becomes the flight of a pure predator. Moving through the darkness, bombarded by haunting visions that consume his imagination, every step in his violent odyssey brings him closer to a harrowing climax that is pure James Dickey.

Anime-lover. Avid Casual Gamer. Spurs fan.
Depending on what I had for breakfast, I can either be incredibly quiet, or annoyingly vocal. I like people who understand there is a time and place for everything. And that life is too short, and too real, to not be silly sometimes.
I'm here because I want... to test my vessel. Naruto reference.
I'm here because I am tired of meeting more or less carbon copies of the same women over and over again. It would be nice to meet someone. Real. Full of Youthful energy, but also mature enough when/where it counts.
If you've made it this far, and you're gonna go through the trouble of liking my profile, you might as well shoot me a message also...
I'm not sure what else to put here so... There, haha.
Karaoke. Spanish. Not knowing stuff.
I listen to all kinds of music. My anytime music, though, is old school soul, Spanish, and James Blunt, and J. Cole. Not necessarily in that order.
I really only watch Anime and NBA Basketball. Any shows I watch, I binge on Netflix. I've always hated having to wait for episodes.
I love Burgers. Experimenting with them also. Any kind of beef, really... Or just meat in general. I like to cook.
Lotion (ashy ain't sexy)
A quiet place for sanctuary
Or, You are looking for someone to hang out with, or to talk to, or to potentially go out with... or you like Anime, Videogames, or Basketball.
And/or can hold a conversation about any of the 3, haha

Seventeen-time major champion Roger Federer says he feels fit and confident before the start of Wimbledon where he will be defending his men's single crown.
The Swiss won his 77th tour title and sixth crown at the Gerry Weber Open here on Sunday, his first trophy since Cincinnati in August 2012.
"For me, it is great in terms of confidence. Winning solves everything really. It was good to fight as well in the last couple of matches," Federer was quoted as saying on atpworldtour.com after his 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-4 victory over Mikhail Youzhny in the final Sunday.
"I'm just very happy how I played this week and excited about what's to come now. Because I feel confident, I feel fit and fresh and that's very important at this point in the season."
Assessing his season so far, the Swiss added: "I am not absolutely satisfied with the first six months. Maybe if I had changed my tournament schedule I would have won more titles but that wasn't the goal."
Federer will look to win his eighth Wimbledon title which starts June 24.

How to edit templates to suit your style.
You 'll nee d
RapidWeaver 7 Last issue we showed you how to create new pages for a website using RealMac's beginner-friendly web design app, RapidWeaver.
In this second instalment, you'll discover how to change the way those pages look, and what they contain.
First, a little bit of history. In the early days of web design, you formatted your pages as you went along. So, if you wanted bold text you'd enclose it in <b> and </b> tags, and if you wanted italics you'd use <i> and </i>, and so on. This turned out to be a terrible idea.
The reason it was a terrible idea is that people change their minds, so they might build a site and decide that it would look better with a slightly different design or colour scheme. In the old days, that decision meant going back through the whole website to change every bit of affected code. It didn't help that different web browsers understood different tags, either, so you couldn't even be sure that what worked fine on one person's computer would look the same on somebody else's.
Then someone had a brilliant idea. "Hey everyone", they said, "why don't we keep the style and the content separate? That way, if we change the design we just update the style, and it'll change the content automatically!" This person was then carried through the streets by cheering website owners, who appreciated what a fantastically useful idea it was. Pretty much every website is now made that way, with style and content kept separate. A template for success That brings us to RapidWeaver. It's a template-based system, meaning it provides a range of professionally designed sites for you to choose from. You then add your content, and if you want to change the entire design you can just choose another template and watch your content update automatically to fit it. So, you might start off with the wintry shades of the Lander theme and then decide you prefer the purple tones of the Tesla one, or you might decide what your site really needs is the photo gallery from the Kiki theme. No problem: just
bring up the Themes panel, then select the one you want to use instead and the visual changes are applied instantly.
There's more to themes than just colours, though. They also set your site's slogans and footers, specify whether there should be sidebars and whether those should appear on the left or the right, and they can be used to specify how photo galleries look and behave. In many cases, you'll find that the perfect look for your own website involves taking one of RapidWeaver's premade designs and making a few simple but important tweaks to it.
When it comes to changing bits of the app's templates, there are several places you can do it. First of all, there's Settings > General in the left sidebar (choose View > Show Source List if it's not visible). This is where you set the site's title and slogan, the copyright message or other footer, the contact details and little things such as the site logo and favicon (the little logo that appears in the address bar and favourites list in your browser). Click Advanced at the bottom of that page to customise even more options, such as whether breadcrumb navigation (the element that shows visitors their place on your site in this style: Home > About Us > Our History) should be disabled.
The next place to look is under Master Style in the left sidebar. As the name suggests, the master style is the boss of how your entire site looks, so it's where the template sets out decisions such as what colour the navigation menu should be, what coloured overlay (if it's part of your chosen theme) should go over the main banner photo, how big the fonts should be, and so on. This is also where you specify elements such as the background colour of form fields and whether banner images should be displayed at the top of the page.
Engage manual override
Each theme has its own master style, but there's nothing to stop you from editing that style by selecting Master Style in the sidebar, clicking the Inspector button on the toolbar to bring up the style's details, and then making whatever changes you want. Once done, you can then save the modified style by clicking the cog at the top of the inspector and set your choices as your site's new master style.
The third place where you can change how your site looks is in each individual page. With a page selected at the top of the sidebar, bring up the inspector and you'll see six tabbed panels: General Settings, Page Sidebar, HTML Code, Meta Tags, Styles and Page Options. We'll return to some of these next issue, but for now we're interested in General Settings, Page Sidebar and Styles.
The General Settings tab has three key bits at its bottom, under the heading Override Default Settings, which enable you to specify a different page title, slogan or footer than those set out in the master style. If you want, you can also use this tab to change the page's filename and whether it should open in a new window. The default (and usually best option) is to open it in the current browser tab.
The Page Sidebar tab only has content if the sidebar has been enabled in the master style. If it has, you can then edit the code accordingly: it supports both plain text and HTML code, so you can add links, images and other content if you want.
Last but most definitely not least, there's the Use Master Style option at the top of the Styles tab. If this contains a check mark, the page will follow your site's master style, but you can apply a completely different template to the current page – so, all of your site could use the same template, except for your photo gallery. Using a different template for a page often means it'll have a completely different colour scheme too, and that's where the rest of the Styles tab comes into play. With Use Master Style unchecked, you can change the colours, layout, font size, backgrounds for form fields, and so on, ensuring that the page still fits with the rest of your site's colour scheme. It's generally a bad idea to present people with jarring design changes midway through a site, so the ability to apply another template but edit its colours is handy to have.
That said, we need to mimic Spider-Man's Uncle Ben here and point out that with great power comes great responsibility. The whole point of a template-based system is that you don't have to go fiddling with individual bits of pages, so it's important to make any changes in the right place. Wherever possible, make changes to the master style, so that they're applied site-wide. Page-specific changes are only really necessary when a template can't do what you want on a page. This is supposed to be easy, so don't give yourself extra work.
Live preview of changes
One thing we really like about RapidWeaver is that if you've clicked on the toolbar's Preview button, when you edit things in the Styles tab you'll see changes applied to the page that's open as you make them – so, if you decide to enable the sidebar you'll see it pop up in its designated place, and if you decide not to have big banner images you'll notice them disappear when you select 'banner hidden' from the Site Banner Overlay pop-up menu. This takes the guesswork out of building your site because you can see right away whether something works, or if it isn't quite the way you wanted it to be.
Don't be afraid to experiment with styles. RapidWeaver lends itself to "what happens if I change this?" exploration. If all else fails, the original templates are still there if you get a little bit too experimental. Happy tweaking!

U.S. Sen. David Vitter today introduced the Federal Accountability of Renewable Energy (FARE) Act, which would require federal agencies to give a full accounting of all taxpayer funds given to renewable energy projects.
"I'm concerned about recent reports suggesting that the Obama administration was reckless with taxpayer subsidies for renewable energy projects," said Vitter. "We need an all-of-the-above energy policy that creates good jobs and keeps energy prices low for Americans, but these projects have to be viable -- they have to make sense. We can't afford any more crony capitalism where the federal government picks winners and losers and then leaves taxpayers on the hook when everything falls apart."
Recent news reports have suggested that in 2009 the White House may have pressured Office of Management and Budget reviewers to approve a loan for the now-bankrupt solar energy company Solyndra before the OMB had time to conduct a thorough assessment of the company's financial viability.
The FARE Act would require agencies to provide the following:
* a full accounting at every federal agency that has provided any form of financial support to private-sector renewable energy projects
* a list of companies that have substantially met the stated purpose of the financial support as well as a list of those companies that have failed to meet the purpose of the financing
* total number of jobs created as a result of the financial support
* a list of venture capital firms involved in filing documents for obtaining financial support for now defunct or failing companies
* a preliminary inspector general investigation into all companies that have substantially failed to meet the objectives for the purpose of the financial support and whether there potentially existed any fraud

If your anus is not wiped well, you may get severe itching and redness in this area. Moreover, if you leave any fecal matter on your skin, it can lead to infection or bad odor. Hence, you should wipe off your anus after taking a shower and after bowel movements, which will give the toughness or durability to the sensitive skin. And this keeps you free from the inflammation.

How hot was Carson City's July? Record-hot
August 1, 2013
Carson City roasted its way to its hottest July on record last month.
The average temperature was 74.8 degrees, and the city passed 100 three times, according to meteorologist Shane Snyder with the National Weather Service in Reno. The temperature hit 102 on July 2, 101 on July 19 and 103 on July 21.
The previous record July average was 74.5 degrees, set in 2003 and 2005.
Carson City wasn't alone in reaching a record. Reno's average of 80.2 degrees made it that city's hottest recorded July, and its hottest month overall since 1888. Its previous record was 80 degrees, set in July 2007.
"Typically, it gets cooler at night there, especially in the last 15 years or so," Snyder said of Carson City vs. Reno. Because Reno's population is much higher, more heat gets trapped there, he said.
Relief might not be on the way. Snyder said a climate-prediction model suggests Carson City has about a 50 percent change of having above-average temperatures this month, too.

Homefront: Memorable Moments
November 14, 2010 - While Frontlines: Fuel of War didn't exactly generate a resounding shockwave through the shooter sphere, developer Kaos Studios set in motion the right combination of tight shooter mechanics and evocative setting to that would go on to steer Homefront.
Homefront Single Player Preview
November 4, 2010 - Homefront begins with players waking up in a shabby room as a radio alarm turns on. It's 2027 and players are in Denver, Colorado where the North Koreans control most of the West coast. One of the mantras for developer Kaos was to make familiar settings feel alien. Instead of having epic fights at the Empire State Building or on the front steps of the White House, Homefront will have you fighting through ruined suburbs, neighborhood schools, and strip malls filled with Hooters and Lumber Liquidators.
Homefront to Have Dedicated Australian Servers
October 25, 2010 - Aussie shooter-fans have cause for celebration, as THQ and Kaos Studios today announced that their upcoming first-person shooter Homefront will have dedicated servers for Australian players.
Homefront Multiplayer First Look
October 5, 2010 - The battle for first-person shooter supremacy isn't being fought in campaign modes, and it's not going to be won by the one with the most weapons or with the most vehicles. It's going to be won on the servers of Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and of PCs, and it's here that THQ and Kaos's Homefront makes the best account of itself.
THQ Selects Sumthing Else Music Works To Release Video Game Soundtracks
September 29, 2010 - "We are very excited to partner with THQ in bringing their video game soundtracks to the marketplace," said Andy Uterano, President of Sumthing Else Music Works.

Homefront Interview: The Realities of a US Invasion
July 1, 2010 - In an interesting conversation with the crackingly named Chris Cross, lead designer on Homefront, he reveals that he's actually half Korean. This wouldn't be much of a discussion point ordinarily – but developing a game that takes such a polarized view of North Korea easily could've been a topic that sat too close to home. Instead, as IGN AU discovered, Cross' perspective actually adds some fascinating humanity and plausibility to the Korean invasion of the mainland United States. Read on for his approach to drawing out emotional impact through design and where Homefront touches on reality in this chat.
Shooter Overload
July 1, 2010 - If there's one thing that we took away from E3 2010 this year, it's that people like shooters and publishers have no problems throwing giant sums of money around to get more on the market. From first-person shooters like Crysis 2 and RAGE to third-person titles like Dead Space 2 and Red Faction: Armageddon, you should have no trouble finding a game where the focus is blasting things to pieces. In case the modern battlefields and fantastical futuristic weaponry have blurred together to the point where you're 95 percent certain a game called Medal of Dutyzone Ops: Bad Gears 3 – Reachstorm The Line Vietnam actually exists, here's a list of some of the bigger titles coming out in 2010 and 2011 to help sort it all out.
E3 2010: Homefront Interview
June 17, 2010 - Homefront is a game filled with ideas, from its emphasis on humanity during non-combat sequences, to its heavy use of scripting to give shootouts a sense of drama. At a recent preview event in New York I spoke with Chris Cross, lead designer from Kaos Studios, about how they're tried to translate these ambitious ideas into gameplay systems in a genre that's quickly become gaming's version of the tentpole release. Can a game about war still have a heart? If so, how?
E3 2010: Homefront Preview
June 11, 2010 - I have never seen a first-person shooter preview begin with a clip of Hilary Clinton before attending a Homefront event in New York last week. In an extended video presentation, THQ began with the Secretary of State's joint press conference with Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada publicly blaming North Korea for the sinking of a South Korean warship in March. From there a delirious montage of newsreel footage and fictional projections about a rapid rise to power described the pretext for the game. By the year 2025, North Korea will have transformed from an immolated prison state, blighted by famine, dependent on foreign food aid, and clinging to China, its effective patron state, for survival.
End Bosses: THQ's Brian Farrell
February 16, 2010 - Brian Farrell, CEO of publisher THQ, shares his belief in the future of digital distribution, that Natal probably won't be a match for the new Red Faction, and how the company tried and failed to draw in core gamers on Wii.

IGN AU's Top Ten Games of E3
June 10, 2009 - E3 2009 represented an incredible showcase of games, so coming up with the AU team's top 10 was easier said than done. After vigorous debate, however, these are the games that impressed us the most. Our only real criteria for inclusion was that the game must be displayed, running in real-time, with actual gameplay. No on-stage presentations, no tech demos, videos of gameplay and no pre-rendered 'target renders' (sorry Pirates of the Carribean: Armada of the Damned. Next year, maybe). The list below is the best of the best; games that pushed their genres forward, impressed us with technical and creative might and reminded us of exactly why we all love games – and endure sweaty arm pits and sales pitches just for a fleeting glimpse at the next big thing. On to the list...
E3 2009: Homefront Impressions
June 3, 2009 - Frontlines: Fuel of War developer Kaos' new shooter, called Homefront, is set in 2027 America that has been overrun by foreign forces. You play as a resistance fighter trying to oust the occupiers, and utilize a wide array of weaponry and semi-realistic gadgets to battle your way from the heart of Colorado the Golden Gate Bridge.
The War Comes Home in THQ's Homefront
May 27, 2009 - Baseball fields, strip malls and suburban neighborhoods become battlefields in THQ and Kaos Studios' brand new shooter.
THQ Brings War to Homefront
May 27, 2009 - What the economic collapse in the United States led to an occupation by North Korea? That's the future imagined by Homefront, a first-person shooter announced today by THQ. The script was written by John Milius, the scribe who brought us Apocalypse Now and Red Dawn.

Scheduled to run from June 2-4 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, E3 2009 showcases several of the year's hottest games from the industry's most powerful publishers and developers.
Kaos Studios Expanding

BOSTON -- With the trade deadline looming and rumors swirling including reports of trade talks that involve Josh Beckett Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said hes satisfied with the team he has.
I like my team, Valentine said. I think were a good team and if theres any way general manager Ben Cherington thinks we can improve it for this year and beyond, Im sure hes going to do that. But this is a good group of guys that I dont see any gaping holes. I see more holes on the other teams than I see on ours.
I think we just play one game and try to do our best tonight and thats the best that we can do.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia is in the starting lineup, serving as the designated hitter with Kelly Shoppach catching for righthander Clay Buchholz.
Well, I just felt that it was either Salty or Cody Ross and I just thought that Cody would probably be a better option pinch-hitting if I needed it Get Salty off his legs, coming in at 3:30 in the morning and getting Cody a day off because hes been grinding it out--all contributing factors.
Reliever Andrew Bailey, on the DL all season after right thumb surgery, was scheduled to fly to Fort Myers today. He is expected to play catch tomorrow and may begin his rehab assignment in a Gulf Coast League game on Wednesday.
The Sox are waiting on the results of right-handed reliever Scott Atchisons MRI. Atchison, on the DL since July 14 with right forearm tightness, pitched one inning in a rehab assignment Friday with Pawtucket. He faced Indianapolis, giving up three runs on three hits, including a home run, with no walks in two strikeouts but felt discomfort.
Valentine said the discomfort may be more in Atchisons elbow than his forearm now.
It seemed like he went in with a forearm that might have moved back a little up closer to the elbow, Valentine said. It seemed like 15 days ago it was just going to be a couple of days rest and then we gave him a lot of rest and when he threw it didn't feel good the next day.
Valentine said closer Alfredo Aceves, who threw 37 pitches in 2 13 innings Sunday night against the Yankees in New York and was expected to be available Monday night against the Tigers.
Of course. He only threw 33 pitches, Valentine said. He usually throws that in an inning, or he can. Not usually, but he can. I call it a hunch that hes fine. I havent heard anything to the contrary.
Aceves was charged with his fifth blown save, before earning the win, improving to 2-6, with a 3.57 ERA.
Valentine was ejected in the 10th inning for arguing with home plate umpire Brian ONora. Valentine argued that Will Middlebrooks was hit by a pitch, while ONora said the pitch hit Middlebrooks bat on a bunt attempt. ONora, who was also hit by the ball and fell down, could have had his view obscured. Television replays appeared to support Valentine.
Currently, umpires can't consult TV replays on such plays.
Not yet. We kind of like the human element, Valentine said. I just always like to get it right and if I was on the other side of the coin, I wouldve liked it to have been called a foul ball. On the other side of the field.
Josh Beckett, in the dugout, was also ejected for arguing the call.
Right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Pawtucket Wednesday night. Matsuzaka, who has been on the DL since July 3 with a right upper trapezius strain, is scheduled to start in Rochester against ScrantonWilkes-Barre. Valentine said Matsuzaka is expected to make 75-90 pitches.
I think he has that in him, yeah, depending on how it goes, Valentine said. But it might get cut down to 45, depending on how he comes out of the chute. Hes feeling pretty good.
Valentine said Matsuzaka is free of the trapezius ailment, and now its just a matter of build up his pitches and his competitiveness.
ScrantonWilkes-Barre, the Yankees affiliate, is permanently on the road this season while their home field is being renovated.
Shortstop Mike Aviles was out of the lineup again, sidelined by turf toe in his right big toe. Pedro Ciriaco is in the starting lineup, playing shortstop, batting ninth. Valentine said Aviles could be available, but would not be used to pinch-run.
Mikes dealing with turf toe, just so we know what the situation is, Valentine said. Its not a life-threatening situation but it sure is an encumbrance and were just trying to see what we can do to get that feeling out of there. Most of us have had itits not fun to deal with. The less he strains it in the athletic motions of playing, the better it calms down. If it calms down, well have a hundred percent of Mike back. He could play in the game, go in in emergency, pinch-hit, all those things. I wouldnt pinch-run him necessarily. But he could if we had to.

Fidel Castro Shows Up at Cuban Cheese Conference
Fidel Castro shows up at cheese conference.
Screenshot from YouTube
Fidel Castro is alive and well and, although we don't like the dictator's politics, there's unfortunately one thing that we have in common — a love of cheese.
Castro, who has been dealing with greatly exaggerated rumors about his death on the internet, visited the Food Industry Research Center in Guatao, Cuba, where he spoke for four hours, according to TMZ. This was the 88-year-old dictator's first public appearance in over three months. In a video released by Cuba Hoy, Castro is seen wearing a tracksuit and sporting a white beard, looking frail, though he seemed to be very animated about dairy products.
According to the Cuban News Agency AGN, the "historic leader of the Cuban Revolution" (their words), exchanged views with 19 cheesemakers who are taking a course in Havana. Also at the conference was Cuban food industry minister Maria del Carmen Concepcion and professors at the Food Industry Research Center.
So what exactly does Castro say to 19 cheesemongers for an entire afternoon? AGN reports the Cuban leader spoke about the impact on the food supply levels by climate change and frequent wars. Castro then heard all about cheese production in Cuba, especially the drop in production since the island nation's economic crisis in the 1990s and stated that training new cheesemakers could restore the tiny dictatorship to its former glory days — or something like that. The official propaganda speak went something like this:
"Some cheese makers with vast experience and trained in those years, explained Fidel about the actions underway to progressively recover previous cheese production levels with appropriate quality, which takes the training of new cheese makers."
This cheese news and Fidel sighting comes just days after the United States and Cuba announced plans for the re-establishment of embassies in each other's countries. The official release didn't cover which cheese is Castro's favorite type, but might we suggest a big hunk of American?

oddbasket replied to oddbasket's topic in SignaturesThanks, yeah I made them for a competition.
oddbasket posted a topic in SignaturesI think I like the silver one better. Whaddya think?
oddbasket replied to oddbasket's topic in SignaturesThanks Neo
oddbasket posted a topic in SignaturesThis a new sig I made for myself. The full size is how I intended it, but I modified a 300p version for this forum.
oddbasket posted a topic in Funny FarmI present the Girly Man video Enjoy!
oddbasket replied to oddbasket's topic in Visual StylesSuperceded by another theme, look in the Royale Noir thread. If you want just the Visual style alone, click the external forum link there.
As some of you know... a while ago, I found a way to have perfectly aligned Vista caption buttons which don't align too high and have their tops cut off when maximized. Something new this time, a new method to have a full Vista start orb in multi tier top/bottom taskbars and left/right vertical taskbars, using only .msstyles for XP. Just to share for those who want to make Vista styles. (Had to make the full orb bitmap myself, since every Vista style I tried had a cut off graphic.) 1st Mar 2007 Update: ------------------------ -Tweaked various graphics and alignments -Compacted start orb graphics and quicklaunch icons for more usable taskbar area -Added addition graphics to improve vertical taskbar aesthetics and alignments -*New* Full Vista start orb on multi tier top/bottom taskbar and left/right vertical taskbars
oddbasket replied to Camarade_Tux's topic in Windows Desktops ScreenshotsUsing the 3rd substyle from my personally created OB WMP11 VS. Linky Please do not post full sized screenshots. --Zxian
Final Update: Completely Vista-ized the Royale GUI to taste. Try it!
Since this VS was done rather quickly in 3 days, I've been putting off fixing the graphical glitches until I had some free time on sunday. Changes for Ver1 to Ver2 ---------------------------- -Tweaked most of the graphics -Tweaked some colour hues -Resolved caption buttons alignment issue for different window frames -Better, more accurate clickable area effect for caption buttons -*New* Compact substyle with thin taskbar, frame captions and compact start menu The bonus for me is finally figuring out how to resolve the close buttons alignment that plagued every Vista style VS I've tried. Screenshot and downloads updated in post #1.
oddbasket replied to jay-jay's topic in Customizing Windowsto manually change the look of windows, you need reshacker or PE explorer or stylebuilder. Use those to edit the .msstyles file for the general outlook taskbars buttone etc. Only thing is it is required to patch uxtheme.dll, use either Universal theme patcher 2.1 or uxtheme multi patcher 5.0.

10 names better than Metro State's latest rebranding picks
Big logos below.
Back in March, Metro State's Board of Trustees announced their plan to change the school's name to Denver State University -- a lackluster choice that also managed to piss off the folks at the University of Denver. So Metro is now asking students to choose among three new possibilities -- all a helluva lot more boring than our suggestions, which are on view below complete with matching logos capable of luring new enrollees in droves.
The latest picks -- Metropolitan Denver State University, Denver Metropolitan State University and Denver State Metropolitan University -- sound as if administrators chose the first labels that popped into their head and then shifted them around a few times. Would the next two choices have been University Metropolitan State Denver and Denver University State Metropolitan? Or did they consider using some words more than once -- like Metropolitan University Metropolitan or Denver Denver State State State?
Whatever the case, it's not too late to consider some alternatives we first shared in the post "Top 10 names for Metro State better than Denver State University." Count 'em down below.
10. Denver Awesome College of Sharktiger
9. Dr. Reefer's Mile High Institute of Bud Tending and Ounce Counting

text: July 01, 2016 • Benjamin McCaughtry Do You Have What It Takes To Become A Sith Lord? Star Wars fans, if you are like us at the Star Wars Council, you do have somewhat of a soft spot for the Dark Side, some of our favourite characters have represented the Dark Side. There is just something about them we could not shake, we decided to give you a bit of a background to get a better understanding about their mind frame and what they believed in, instead of simply just classing them as a villain. Without the Ying there is no Yang. The Dark Side has always had a certain appeal to a select few... The code attracts a certain type of person… without darkness there is no light. In order to evolve as a race it is important that challenges are put in the place or normal people (our heroes) for them to realise their true potential and purpose and become the heroes we know them as today, without the "villians" there would be no heroes. Anakin Skywalker, once held as the "golden boy" of the Jedi order, most controversially turned his back on the Jedi order and joined the Sith ranks, to become the most infamous villain of them all Darth Vader. Darth Bane, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, Darth Sidious are all examples of a few of the famous Sith Lords who most of you will recognise… But what Code did they all exactly follow? The Code of the Sith The Code of the Sith, known as Qotsisajak in Sith, was the mantra that reinforced the core beliefs of the Sith Order. It was considered the dark side counterpart to the Jedi Code, and was first authored on the planet Korriban in 6900 BBY by the Jedi heretic Sorzus Syn. The code remained remarkably unchanged through the millennia, as the Sith Lord Darth Bane still taught the words of Sorzus Syn when he began rebuilding the Sith Order around 1000 BBY, after the Seventh Battle of Ruusan. The Sith Code, as written by Sorzus Syn and taught by Darth Bane: "Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me". The Red Lightsaber Darth Maul describes the lightsaber in a cold heartless manner as "Let it be nothing more than what it is; an instrument of murder, and nameless." Sith lightsaber designs were based more on personal needs and preferences, rather than standardized makes designed for specific classes. For example, Darth Bane's apprentice Zannah wielded a double-bladed lightsaber with a lengthened hilt and shortened blades to allow for improved speed and mobility, benefits she took advantage of to facilitate her practice of the Soresu lightsaber form. In combat, she would twirl the weapon to build up momentum, allowing her to redirect and parry even the fiercest attacks with relative ease, while the second blade allowed for rapid counters. One of the later Rule of Two Sith Lords, Darth Maul, also favoured the double-bladed lightsaber. Maul felt that single-bladed lightsabers were too limiting, and opted for the double ended design because it made sense to him to be able to strike with both ends. Maul took considerable pride in the fashioning of the crystals for his weapon. Creating a set of four synthetic lightsaber crystals in a compression furnace, he went into deep meditation for four days, using the Force to control and monitor the formation of the crystals. The Philosophy behind the Sith The Force shall free me. "The Force is our servant and our master. Our teacher and our companion. A weapon and a tool. Know it and you know the universe. Master it and you master the universe. Strive for perfection and the Force shall reward you." ―Yuthura Ban The Sith believed that those who strove for perfection through knowledge and mastery of the Force would be rewarded. That's it with a brief introduction of what the Sith are all about… You can inbox us if you'd like more info J we're all about the force we're all about knowledge and mastering it… You could say we are all more inclined towards the sith then we lead on… You're now a step closer to becoming a Sith Lord, and reaching perfection in the realm of Star Wars!

2017 Julius L. Chambers Diversity Champion Valecia M. McDowell
2017 Julius L. Chambers Diversity Champion
Valecia M. McDowell
The Julius L. Chambers Diversity Champion Award, which celebrates persons in our community who have advanced the cause of diversity and equal opportunity, is being presented this year to Valecia M. McDowell.
Valecia McDowell is a litigation partner at Moore & Van Allen PLLC and Co-Head of the Firm's White Collar, Regulatory Defense and Investigations practice. She has been recognized by Chambers Partners USA, Best Lawyers in America, North Carolina Super Lawyers, Benchmark Litigation, Litigation Counsel of America, and Legal Elite for excellence in the practice of the law and was previously appointed by the judges of the Western District of North Carolina to serve on the Advisory Committee on Local Rules.
Ms. McDowell was also a founding member of Moore & Van Allen's Diversity Committee in 2000 and currently serves as its co-chair. In addition to her work within the firm, Ms. McDowell co-chaired the Mecklenburg County Bar Special Committee on Diversity from 2008-10. Ms. McDowell currently serves as General Counsel for the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, and is the former Board Chair of the Community Building Initiative, a local non-profit whose focus is access, equity and inclusion. She co-chaired the Arts and Science Council's Cultural Leadership Task Force in 2013 and 2014, working to extend access to the arts and arts education to underserved members of our community. In furtherance of that work, Ms. McDowell continues to serve on the ASC Board of Directors and as Chair of ASC's Central Advisory Council.
Ms. McDowell received her B.A. and J.D. from Duke University and has served as a guest instructor at Duke Law School in 2016-17. She was selected as a 2011 Leader in the Law by North Carolina Lawyers Weekly and was the recipient of the North Carolina Bar Association Citizen Lawyer Award in 2013.
