Sessler's Soapbox: So Many Open Worlds, So Little Time
Comments are Closed
What the Hell. Finally We get a game that you can play for more then 20 hours and your complaining. It breaks up the mindless shooting games that are just everywhere and littered with teenies. I'm an older game player started with the 2600. If you don't know then your not. But I like getting lost in another world and forgetting about this one for a while and you can't do that with a game that ends in 21 hours. So Shush on that way of thinking. Thanks

Holy crap. I completely agree with u sir. I play games exactly the same way where i have to complete the side quests first b4 I go on with the story quests. Its one reason why i dont like playing mmos, because the side quests never end. I hate revisisting old area and im such a completionist that "open world" games do irratate me a little. Thank you Sir Ses for pointing this out.

Adam nailed it. It would be cool if side quests had some effect on the main story. Skyrim is not good at sharing time with other games, family, work, life.
I found some side missions in Skyrim down right impossable without transforming into a werewolf. I did not know I was too low level for the dungeon until I got to the boss. Either I die or my companion would before we dropped the boss. After 6 tries at beating him I gave into the wolf. Killed the boss just after he got out the crypted.Posted: November 29, 2011 12:47 PM -
I think that Batman did a pretty good job of preventing you from going too far down the sidequests and straying from the main quest. You only had the sidequests open up at specific points in the main story.
Part of the problem is exactly the point made in the video - the main quest is so much richer and more fulfilling. With Batman, I finished the main quest and still had all these Riddler trophies to collect, and it felt more like a chore than a game. Plus, early on in game history, many games had side quests that you couldn't do after a certain point in the story. I remember KOTOR, and if you got too far in the story without talking to your intended love interest, you would lose that option. So most people have been trained to sort of "eat your veggies first" - get the side dishes over with before you get to the main dish.Posted: November 29, 2011 2:56 AM -
I feel that the term open world should no longer be a game genre, but a standard for today s games. PS3 and X-box 360 games are usually $60 when they come out and consumers want a fulfilling experience that is deserving of that price. Like Adam said, If it s not a shooter [or sports game] than it s usually an open world. Games need to be able to set them selves apart from one another. It shouldn t just be a side quest but a side story. Give it some background and multiple ways to solve. This is where Skyrim excels. It should feel like it has a purpose for being there. Even the smallest quests seem like they belong in this world and have their own back stories that coincide with the larger picture. Personally I get lost in this game. I do things as they come up, because I know I will be rewarded for it. Plus I will game levels no matter what I do. Not only that but after you do the quest it gives you an alternate path for when you replay with a new character.
I wish they would do away with silly or unneeded quests, like, in Batman you can go around the city and stop a 5 second mugging that serves no purpose other than a trophy or achievement. Don't get me wrong, I loved Batman, I own both games and have beaten many times. But, if they were to focus on the philosophy of "quality over quantity" the game would be that much better. "Open world" label should work the side quests in naturally. For instance, Batman, instead of being able to start side missions right away I wish they had a part of the main story break off into the side mission. You could come across bane in the main story, and after defeating him the problem of the tanks comes into play and breaks into a side story. Instead of those silly mugging missions they could have spent more time and made the Bane mission more of a story than simply a quest. Like how they incorporated the Riddler this time around. I felt that was a real side story and not just silly jobs running throughout the game. Also, this way they you wont be able to do every side story right off the bat because you wont have an item or gadget yet. This will also give a diversity of mission types for side stories rather than the run of the mill quests that are in every other "open world" game.
Everyone plays their games differently and that's what is so appealing about the "open world" genre. But, if you throw everything at the player within the first five mins of playing then there will be nothing to impress them later on in the game. This is why I love Skyrim with such a passion. Your character grows throughout the entire experience and no matter what you are doing at the time. So you always become more powerful and learn new techniques, spells and strategies. Along with that you have different options to finish a side story or quest. Even the small quests can take you 45 mins to complete. Plus, in Skyrim you come across side quests throughout the game and you can do them whenever. But, in Skyrim even the smallest task will have it s rewards.
I believe that instead of the goal of simply making an open world game a developer should have the goal of making a game with more RPG elements. And, in that way, they can set them selves apart. Even in Skyrim, you have consolations you can gain perks through. It s obviously a glorified skill tree, but doing this makes it seem easier to get into for new gamers. Also, if you compare Skyrim to it s predecessor, Oblivion, it is just as much of an RPG, but is easier to get into for the average gamer. I have heard many people say they love Skyrim and they hated playing Oblivion. I m not saying every game should be compared to Skyrim. Skyrim is has been refined over generations and is what Bethesda specializes in. I m just saying that after playing Skyrim all other open world games I have bought previously seem well kind of like a rip off. Now, I have yet to play Saints 3 and GTA5 is about to be announced, from what I hear. When it comes down to it all that matters is if it makes you happy for however many hours you think your $60 is worth. But, I think even the casual gamer is ready for the genre to evolve to it s next form, action RPG. Even if the RPG elements are watered down.Posted: November 27, 2011 9:37 PM -
My problem is that I have this desire to make the game last as long as possible and put off the main story missions and then I never finish anything lol.
Posted: November 25, 2011 1:00 PM -
I play as Adam describes here. Mass Effect 2 comes to mind. You have a list of side missions you just want to get out of the way and clear up before finishing the meat of the game, the story missions.
It just sits there like a weight upon your shoulders until you clear them from your list of things to do.
You can spend a lot of time inside me.Posted: November 24, 2011 1:22 PM -
It seems that older games tended to block off areas or made them rather difficult without advancing through the game in the same way a level based game worked. Now you typically can go anywhere and try to do anything from the start. It seems like giving all this content at once allows some people to breeze through what they want to do, or it give others a struggle as they try to do everything or can't figure out what is best to do. Maybe they put in so much content at the begining to improve the appeal and initial sales of the game while making the main quests fast and thereby increasing the likelyhood that they buy DLC?
I think it's been said before here, but one of the best thing in games is a sense of urgency or epicness, as typically one needs a compelling reason to do the main quests instead of side quest #1594 where I get the awesome gem of awesomeness that makes all other quests easy mode. But it's very hard to put in that desire for main quests without a level or lock based system or a timer like Dead Rising. If instead one tries to make the main game so compelling, the side parts tend to suffer or don't get played at all. It's an interesting question of where the balance should be between how good each piece of content is and how relevant it is to the story.Posted: November 23, 2011 7:03 PM -
I still prefer linear games, because open world games do tend to have that disconnect between story and side quests, which causes the pacing, and my interest level, to suffer. It's no coincidence that my favorite games this year, and the vast majority of my purchases, have all been linear while the big open world games of this season have all been placed on the back burner to be played when I've exhausted my other options.

For those budget minded gamers, open world games tend to be a real deal.. I could only afford to buy 1 or 2 games this year... so Skyrim was at the top of my list... hasn't disappointed me yet, and I don't think it will... Loving every second of it.... Great soapbox as always... insight and retrospect are a rare commodity in these times... thanks again, and happy Turkey Day to everyone at G4 and everyone in the comment section too!!

Whenever I play an Elder Scrolls game, I always tend to veer towards to guild quests first. That way I can get all the great perks that you get when you finish a guild, and I feel more empowered to take on the main quest.
Posted: November 23, 2011 6:36 AM -
My only gripe about open world games with tons of side missions is that I grew up with the original RPG's were I loved doing those side quests and stuff and it was a lot of fun to do them and made you feel really good about finding all of them not to mention really pissed when a game didnt really include any. So by growing up with the mind set that I need to do side missions its really hard to change someones way of playing a game these days were I have all these choices to detract me from the actual game but I basically shouldnt bother doing so. I am relearning the way I play games these days but I must admit its extremely hard putting my old ways down. I really want to do everything in these games but it really doesnt make that big of a difference. I kind of liked how Skyrim has done it, since you really dont level up or gain experience from completing any quests or side missions and you only get items for the most part I really havent felt to obligated to doing a lot of them.
Posted: November 23, 2011 6:34 AM -
You can't play Skyrim like that.
If you choose to ignore the story and complete MISC tasks you will never finish the game, ever.
Those Tasks are put together on the fly depending on player action.
My advice to anyone that wants to get through Skyrim with a solid experience is Clear both main stories, clear the guilds quests, the daedra quests, the cult quests and then once those are done you can either do the small stuff or move on. That right there is around 150 hours.Posted: November 23, 2011 5:23 AM -
Thank you for summing up Adam my general feeling for games lately. Too many big releases and not enough time to play them all. Skyrim is the first game that I am truly enjoying in a long, long time. I thought Gears was great, etc... but nothing touches Skyrim for the sheer joy of taking gaming to another level that makes the main quest, side quest inconsistency so obvious. Games are becoming so large and with so much content that it is difficult to find an adequate amount of time to play and enjoy without the next big game coming out. My god, this year has been nuts for that.
Posted: November 22, 2011 11:40 PM -
The somewhat ironic part of all of this is how Grand Theft Auto 3, which Adam said almost started the entire category of "Open World", skirted this entire issue by progressively unlocking more and more of the world as the main story pushed on.
Odd how sometimes ideas iterate and end up worse than they were.Posted: November 22, 2011 10:38 PM -
i thought mass effect was very effective with limiting side quests and fallout made side quests into add-on packs that worked pretty well too.

Adam in Portland and Lynnwood:
I stayed with a friend who lived in the same building as Crispin in Hollywood in 1992. We once invited him over for dinner, using the front door intercom, and getting his answering machine. His outgoing message simply had him saying "Hellooooo?" It freaked us right out, as we thought he was speaking to us directly. Then the pause, or two, then the beep. He never responded. Makes sense. Hahahaha. He played great opera music, which wafted down from his floor, and through open windows below. A few years later I dated his cousin Julie in Portland, Oregon for a bit. Weird coincidences. I'm not a Crispin stalker, though you wouldn't know it from these anecdotes. Hahahaha! But, Maaaaan, River's Edge was grrrreat! | |

For finding out the flow/water levels of many rivers in the US check out the sight run by the USGS, at http://water.usgs.gov/realtime.html . For the Au Sable, near Au Sable, MI the web site is http://water.usgs.gov/mi/nwis/uv/?site_no=04137500&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060 current #'s are height 8.93 ft, flow 995 CFS which is slightly beow the median flow for this date of 1,150 cfs. There are several other sights on the Au Sable. I am unfamilar with Michigans geography and just picked one at random. Unfortunately, I can't help you with the current fishing conditions. Good luck. _______________________________________ Added data; I loked at the website for a couple of the Au Sable river locations and Michigan has better data than I'm used to seeing. The temperature near Red Oak (closest station I saw to Grayling) is 60-63 degrees F, so the water temp is reasonable for trout. |
quandary |
Au Sable River I am on my way up to the Au Sable River near Grayling, MI this week. Can anyone tell me what to expect? How is the water level? What kind of flies are the trout nibbling on? Thanks for your help. |

The proposed $36 million Water Street development downtown cleared another hurdle Wednesday. Dayton City Commissioners approved an amendment to the city's zoning code to allow the development to be built up to five stories, up from the city's previous zoning of properties close to the river that had to be shorter, said Shelley Dickstein, assistant city manager for strategic planning for the city. Several members of the city's planning board had expressed concern about the ...

"My grandfather lived to love my grandmother, to serve and to make her feel as happy as he could every moment of their life," Sanders' grandson, Grant, told the judge, describing the couple's life together as "a beautiful love story."
"I truly believe that the pain had become too much for my grandmother to bear," he said, while Sanders looked on during the sentencing hearing Friday and occasionally wiped his eyes with a tissue as relatives pleaded tearfully for mercy.
Sanders was arrested last fall after he says his wife, Virginia, 81, begged him to kill her. He was initially charged with first-degree murder, but pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a deal with prosecutors. Still, he faced a sentence of up to 12 years.
His wife, whose family called her Ginger, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1969, and was forced into a wheelchair soon after. She and Sanders, a World War II veteran, moved from Washington state in the 1970s for Arizona's warm, dry climate.
George Sanders became her sole caregiver. He cooked for her, cleaned the house, did laundry, put on her makeup and would take her to the beauty salon where he'd hold her hands up so she could get her nails done.
Eventually, though, his own health deteriorated. He had a pacemaker put in, and Virginia was diagnosed with gangrene on her foot. She was set to be admitted to a hospital, then likely a nursing home where she would spend the remainder of her life.
"It was just the last straw," Sanders told a detective during his interrogation shortly after the shooting at the couple's home in a retirement community outside Phoenix. "She didn't want to go to that hospital ... start cutting her toes off."
He said his wife begged him to kill her. "I said, 'I can't do it honey,"' he told the detective. "She says, 'Yes you can."'
Sanders then got his revolver and wrapped a towel around it so the bullet wouldn't go into the kitchen. "She says, 'Is this going to hurt?' and I said, 'You won't feel a thing,"' he said.
"She was saying, 'Do it. Do it. Do it.' And I just let it go," Sanders added.
In court Friday, as Sanders awaited his fate, his son told the judge the family never wanted him to be prosecuted.
"I want the court to know that I loved my mother dearly," Steve Sanders said. "But I would also like the court to know that I equally love my father."
Breaking down at times in tears, he explained how his parent's spent 62 years together, and his father took care of his mother day in and day out.
"I fully believe that the doctor's visits, the appointments, the medical phone calls and the awaiting hospital bed led to the decision that my parents made together," he said. "I do not fault my father.
"A lot of people have hero figures in their life, LeBron James ... some world class figures ... but I have to tell you my lifelong hero is my dad," he told the judge, sobbing.
George Sanders, wearing khakis and a white sport coat, spoke for only a minute about his deep love for his wife.
"Your honor, I met Ginger when she was 15 years old and I've loved her since she was 15 years old. I loved her when she was 81 years old," he said, trembling.
"It was a blessing, and I was happy to take care of her," Sanders continued. "I am sorry for all the grief and pain and sorrow I've caused people."
Prosecutor Blaine Gadow also asked the judge not to sentence Sanders to prison, instead recommending probation. "The family very much loved their mother," Gadow said, noting the "very unique, difficult circumstances of this case."
"I don't know where our society is going to go with cases like this, judge," he added. "At this point in time, what Mr. Sanders did was a crime." However, he said, "No one in the courtroom has forgotten the victim in this case."
As family members took their seats and Sanders stood trembling at the podium in the courtroom, Judge John Ditsworth spoke softly, staring at the defendant from just a few feet away then sentenced him to two years of unsupervised probation.
Ditsworth said his decision "tempers justice with mercy."
"It is very clear that he will never forget that his actions ended the life of his wife," Ditsworth said.

Nike Mercurial Vapor IX AG
2nd March 2013 03:35 | #1 |
Regular User
Nike Soccer Cleats though VAT has been increased to 20%, there is an overall 6% increase on consumer spending over the period of the competition. Crowds of people are watching the matches in pubs and bars, causing an increase in consumption of food and alcohol during off peak times when these businesses are usually quiet. Many landlords claim that an important 3pm match can bring in the same amount of revenue as a busy Friday or Saturday night and with several matches per day this is generating substantial profit.For the last year, prices have been heavily reduced and stores have been promoting television sets using the world cup as the main focus for the purchase. In the Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII year the average price of a high definition television has reduced by over 50% and many retailers are offering promotions like a full refund if England wins the World Cup or money off every time they score. DSG, the parent company that owns Dixons and Curry's announced a 63% increase in profit on this time last year, they attribute this solely to the increase in demand for large televisions.The sale of multipacks of beer and snack food has gone through the roof with many people holding 'world cup parties' to show off their new TVs, supermarkets have been engaged in a price war bringing beer down as low as 43p per pint. Nike Mercurial Vapor IX AG have had huge success with many people ordering in during half time rather than wasting precious match minutes in the kitchen, Chinese, Indian and other ethnic takeaways have been popular but more sports fans are choosing food to share such as Pizzas. Messi Soccer Cleats For Messi Fans Soccer, in the recent times has acquired a huge of popularity. Earlier football was also considered the most favorite sports by all. Today, it is the widely and the most commonly played form of sports. With such a high popularity, football players are idols for many soccer lovers. |

Colorectal Diseases |
Food passing09/23/2008 |
When I eat sometimes I have a severe urge to go to the bathroom within 20 mins. of eating. I don`t know if it is the food i just ate or not, is this normal? Yes I have had accidents( sometimes I can not get to the bathroom in time when it hits ) Also I do have red blood on the toilet tissue but I always though this was normal since it is red? I was always told to just change my diet?
The "gastrocolic reflex" is what causes you to evacuate after eating. It can be blunted by taking an anti-diarrheal about 30 minutes before eating. (Imodium, Lomotil, etc). Bleeding with BM is usually due to something like a hemorrhoid or fissure, but to be sure have someone with knowledge of proctology do a thorough exam. If they see nothing in the anorectum that is causing the bleeding, they may recommend a colonoscopy to see up a bit further.

Point Park improves to 10-2-1 with important shutout victory at Roberts Wesleyan
Oct. 15, 2011

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Matt Annecchiarico scored two goals, and Point Park University made the most of its nine shots in a 3-0 victory at Roberts Wesleyan College in an American Mideast Conference men's soccer game Saturday.
The win improves the Pioneers to 10-2-1 overall and 5-1-1 in the AMC. It is just the second time in school history that Point Park has registered double-digit wins, and the 12-5 season in 1998 marks the record for wins in a season.
With the win, Point Park now has the upper hand in what may become a two-team race for the right to host the AMC playoff tournament Nov. 4-5. The Pioneers lead the playoff-eligible teams with 16 points in the standings while Roberts Wesleyan (7-7-1, 5-2 AMC) follows with 15 points. The next closest teams are Houghton with seven and Daemen with three.
Walsh is 7-0 AMC and has 21 points, but the Cavaliers are not eligible for the postseason because they are in year two of NCAA Division II provisional status.
Point Park and Roberts Wesleyan each have three conference game remaining, and the teams square off in the AMC finale Oct. 28 at Point Park. That game will be played at Cupples Stadium at 12 p.m.
Point Park has left on its AMC schedule games at Walsh and home to Daemen before facing Roberts at home. Roberts will play Houghton, Walsh and Point Park in its final three games.
Phil Malle got the eventual game-winning goal for Point Park on Saturday. The junior from Pittsburgh scored in the eighth minute to give the Pioneers the early lead. Annecchiarico tallied his first score of the day with 14:39 before the half for a 2-0 lead at the break.
Annecchiarico, a junior forward from Woodbridge, Ontario, put the game out of reach with his seventh goal of the year in the 63rd minute.
Point Park's three goals came on just nine shots and six of those were on goal. Roberts Wesleyan also had nine shots, and Point Park goalkeeper Mitchell Kelman made five saves for his sixth shutout of the year.
The AMC playoff tournament is a four-team, single-elimination event. There will be two semifinals on Nov. 4 and a final on Nov. 5, all of which are held at the regular season champion.

Recap For July 9, 2013
Hello and welcome to America's Got Talent on NBC. Tonight, we continue our auditions to find the most talented acts in the country to perform in Radio City Music Hall. Howie Mandel is not here for some reason. Heidi quips that he is working on his hair.
Olivia Rox plays the guitar and sings Justin Beiber's As Long As You Love Me. She has an almost jazzy, bluesy feel that is sweet and angelic.
Mel B: She is good, but has to be careful with how she performs.
Heidi: She loves her.
Howard: She did a good job and sounds older than she does.
It is a YES to Vegas!
Ronal Farnham's act is throwing things at people to Chariots of Fire. I am confused….the judges buzz him and send him home.
We get a montage of rejected acts as Howie rushes to make it to the judge's table.
Howie finally arrives in time to see Tummy Talk perform. It is people smacking someone's stomach. Oddly enough, people find it amusing.
Mel B: She finds it interesting, but wonders why he is being slapped so hard.
Nick strips down to be a human drum kit. He seems to be having fun with it…i love this guy and his sense of humor.
Heidi: Is it wrong I liked it.
Howard: It's a no.
Howie: It's a yes.
Mel B says yes and they are off to Vegas.
We get a montage of acts that make it to Vegas and then see a dance/video/projection group called SensEtion. My jaw is stuck to the ground. It reminds me of the Aurora Light Dancers mixed with the Silhouettes from a couple of seasons ago. It is so different, so fun and something I want to see more of.
Howard: He likes where it is going and sees great potential.
Heidi: She likes the idea, but not the dancing.
Mel B: She is impressed with the dancing and thinks is is a great, unique idea.
Howie: New, original and a great idea.
They are off to Vegas.
A cute little dance pair named Yasha and Daniella say they will give money to all the poor, save for college and get a mansion with the money. The dancing is so cute! I like how they break into different forms of Latin dancing without missing a beat. The DWTS troupe better watch out!
Heidi: She loves it and wishes she can dance like that.
Mel B: They were on point and just great.
Howie: He is impressed that they were dancing since they were three and likes how she let him speak.
{sidebar id=8}Howard: He is impressed!
They are off to Vegas.
After a funny segment with Howard and Heidi dancing, we get to more auditions.
Marine Jamie Rose performs next. I want to thank him for serving our country. He also is a former coal miner. He performs an original song that proved to me that there is no doubt he is going to be the next Trace Adkins. Win or lose---he is the next big thing in country music.
Howie: He thanks him for his service and says he has a great country sound, voice and heart.
Howard: That was a damn good song and would add his record on the air.
Heidi: She liked it a lot.
Mel B: He has a great voice.
After a couple more rejected acts, we get to Captain Explosion. He takes them outside for his act. Everyone puts in earplugs and watches as he gets into a box and, well, explodes. Everyone is worried and Nick runs up to check on him. He is going to be fine.
Howard: He felt disconnected from the performance.
Howie: He found it amazing and dangerous.
Heidi: She was scared.
Mel B: it was terrifying, but the box wasn't.
Sadly, he is sent home in a 3-1 vote.
Chloe Chanel is a singer who will use her million dollars to get a hunting camp. She performs All American Girl by Carrie Underwood. She is so sweet and cute! Her voice is mature beyond its years.
Mel B: She loved it!
Howie: She has a career ahead of her.
Howard: He tries to throw her off by saying he is the mean judge…but says she has no worries because she is terrific.
Heidi: She loved it.
Megan Amigo does a contortionist act to the Partridge Family theme song. I….need to do yoga and Pilates to make myself that flexible.
Howard: Good contortionist work, bad belly dancing.
3-1 vote sends her home.
More rejected acts……..and then we get to 212 Green, who perform Rumor Has It by Adele. It is a fun version of the song and I love the chemistry the band has together.
Heidi: She loved it, but wishes the girls could shine some more.
Howie: He is impressed that they are kids and thinks they have a career ahead of them.
Mel B: She can see a lot of herself in them and likes them.
One of the girls says Mel inspires her and they all hug.
They are off to Vegas.
Al Harris has an act with balls, a sex sign and….just gets buzzed offstage and sent home. I am lost and confused.
Join us tomorrow night for more America's Got Talent auditions. Goodnight.

K-State baseball features local players
The Kansas State baseball team has historically featured its share of local Manhattan High talent.
This year, the Wildcats roster features four MHS graduates.
But there's more to the simple fact that K-State head coach Brad Hill has a large high school in his own backyard to pull from.
These players earn their spot.
"It's so important for us when we have kids that are local that we feel that can fit into our program," Hill said earlier this week. "They fit a need that we have."
As K-State prepares for this weekend's four-game series with Hartford at Tointon Family Stadium — with the first game having kicked off today at 3 p.m. — Hill said the latest roster requirements make recruiting even tougher and makes it an even greater accomplishment to make the cut.
"It's something you have to look at today in the NCAA with our roster limits, because it does make it a little more difficult sometimes," Hill said. "If you look back, there are two or three kids that could fit in our program, but now that you only have 35 slots you can't be quite as lenient in letting kids in."
Currently, the MHS alums include senior infielder Matt Giller, sophomore catcher Blair DeBord, freshman infielder Dusty Maas and outfielder Kyle Speer, who is also a freshman.
In the past K-State has featured Manhattan High standouts such as pitcher Justin Murray, infielder Derek Bunker and Brett Scott, another infielder.
Murray was selected in the 29th round by the Oakland A's in the 2008 Major League Amateur Draft.
"I think the big thing from high school to the college game is the mental game," Giller said. "There's more pressure on you in college and there's more at stake.
"But it's cool growing up and seeing those guys ahead of you come here and excel. I looked up to Justin Murray, Derek Bunker and Brett Scott. They were three to four years ahead of me and it kind of set my goals, to follow in their footsteps."
Hill praised the MHS baseball program, which has been a league — and often state contender year in, year out.
"Tradition is big, and (MHS) has tradition," Hill said. "They know about winning and they are used to winning at Manhattan High, and that's a big factor when you come into (division one baseball). Those kids don't expect to lose and they expect to win, and that's a product of head coach Don Hess and what he's done with that program.
"Matt Giller came in as a walk-on and worked himself into a prominent role on this ballclub. He's a leader on this team and we feel like Kyle and Dusty are going to be very good players as they go and Blair has been a leader for us as well."
Speer, who has seen seven at-bats so far in his rookie season, credited his coaching at MHS.
"The coaches are great people and they know the game," he said. "They do what they can to make you better.
"Having a college baseball team in your backyard (is big). Everybody wants to play for their hometown — especially a D-1 baseball program."
Giller has started six games and is batting .263 for the season with two runs batted in and DeBord, who has started every game, is batting .300.
Maas has seen action in seven games and has a double.
Saturday will be a double-header for the Wildcats with a noon first pitch and the series will conclude Sunday at 11 a.m.

Abstract: | We present a simple overlapping generations model of an asset market in which irrational noise traders with erroneous stochastic beliefs both affect prices and earn higher expected returns. The unpredictability of noise traders' beliefs creates a risk in the price of the asset that deters rational arbitrageurs from aggressively betting against them. As a result, prices can diverge significantly from fundamental values even in the absence of fundamental risk. Moreover, bearing a disproportionate amount of risk that they themselves create enables noise traders to earn a higher expected return than rational investors do. The model sheds light on a number of financial anomalies, including the excess volatility of asset prices, the mean reversion of stock returns, the underpricing of closed-end mutual funds, and the Mehra-Prescott equity premium puzzle. |

Eleanor Burian-Mohr's Event Journal
Saturday January 26, 2013 / 8:00pm
Peter Pan
2 tickets
Price Level B
How was your experience?
A fun production with plenty of action, cool flying, and spirited (though often unmotivated) dancing.
As a bonus, there was a lovely doo wop group performing in front of the theater.
Parking advice for theater goers: Since the regular Pantages lot is closed, we went to park across the street by the Redbury. And even though the sign says $10... it's not. There's a lot of fine print on those signs. It's $20, which struck me as excessive.
BUT... if you go down Vine toward Sunset there is a perfectly acceptable parking lot on your right that is really $10.
Also, if you decide to eat at Off Vine, you can park there for $5 and an additional $5 to stay later to see the show.

Lancaster County Council should initiate a program that would allow for nonviolent offenders to serve their time at home.
Those who serve their time through the program would have to wear electronic-monitoring devices that monitor where they are through GPS, or global positioning system, technology. The technology would allow authorities to easily keep tabs on those sentenced to home detention, as GPS technology would pinpoint where they are at all times.

A Texas man has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for taking a neighbor's underage daughter on a multistate trip for a week and having sex with her.
A federal judge in Houston sentenced 34-year-old Jacob Daniel West of Conroe. The 14-year-old girl was the subject of an Amber Alert during her January disappearance. West in July pleaded guilty to transporting a minor with intent to engage in sexual activity.
Prosecutors on Wednesday said West lived near the girl's parents although she was in her grandmother's custody. Authorities say West stole guns, cash and credit cards from a dead friend.
West and the girl traveled to Arkansas, Tennessee, New York, Virginia and the Carolinas. Investigators in Fort Pierce, Fla., located the pair at a hotel.

Some day.
Right now I have a ton of stuff on my plate that im saving for. As soon as the blonde gets back to me this week, my current savings is depleted for the trip to Ecuador, and then after that I have a wedding in Jamaica to go to that i refuse to miss! lol
Somewhere in between that all, I would like to plan a huge family vacation, involving, like you mentioned, a cruise to one of those places.
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
Well we are leaving Tampa and going the Cozumel and Grand Cayman. Not my favorite choices but a customer of my wife is getting married and we agreed to go. Generally we prefer the eastern Caribbean because the islands are much more beautiful there.
Now as someone else said here, Bermuda is the best destination. But that's not the Caribbean.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
yeah cruises are alright. but you're probably better off just fiying outta newark or JFK on one of their more cheaper fairs and just hang out and do what you want for as long as you like. If you think about it, cruises are just a big hotel that you are stuck in for most of the trip and you're only in the ports of call for like 5 hours. The bad thing is you cant even stray too far from the ship and explore that much. Plus you are stuffed in a ship with like 4,000 other people and eventually it gets kinda boring.
I've done the cruise thing, and personally imo I like it better when you just fly to where you want to go and just chill there. More relaxing, and NO crowds on some of these islands.
I like boats. The key to going on a cruise is to stay out of the normal schedules so you don't have to fight crowds. If we were going to Bermuda we would fly there and stay at one of the small hotels, which are the only places to stay there. Especially The Reefs.
We wouldn't be going on this cruise except for the wedding.
We were actually booked for Maui in May but had to cancel because my wifes annual sales meeting was scheduled in the middle of that week. That was a major friggin bummer. Hawaii is amazing.

Rabies is an almost uniformly fatal nervous system infection that is caused by the rabies virus.
What is going on in the body?
The rabies virus is present worldwide. It can be spread to humans by many different animals.
In the US, animal bites from wild animals, such as foxes, raccoons, skunks and bats, usually pass the virus on to people. In less developed countries where cats and dogs are not vaccinated against rabies, dog bites are the most common source of rabies.
The rabies virus lives in the saliva of infected animals. It is spread to another animal or a person through a bite or through licking an open wound. In rare cases, people may have breathed in the virus while visiting a heavily infected area, such as a bat cave.
In some recent cases of human rabies, there has been no known contact with a bat or other potentially infected animal. This suggests that very little physical contact with an infected animal may be needed to catch the virus in rare cases.
What are the causes and risks of the infection?
The rabies virus causes the infection. Unless people exposed to the virus are treated promptly, death is almost certain. Treatment rarely helps after symptoms develop.
What can be done to prevent the infection?
People should receive treatment to prevent rabies if:
- they have been bitten by a rabid or suspected rabid animal
- they have had close contact with the saliva of a rabid or suspected rabid animal
- they have been bitten by certain wild animals
- they have a mucous membrane or wound that has come in contact with certain wild animals
Prevention of rabies after exposure involves a rabies vaccine along with a special protein solution, known as rabies-specific immunoglobulin. The vaccine is then repeated on day 3, 7, 14, and 28. People should also vaccinate their cats and dogs to prevent indirect infection with the rabies virus.
How is the infection diagnosed?
In order to know if a suspected animal has the virus, the animal is captured, if possible and euthanized. Doctors can then examine brain tissue from the animal. To diagnose rabies in a person, a series of special tests are done. These may include tests of the skin, saliva, blood, or spinal fluid.
Long Term Effects
What are the long-term effects of the infection?
The infection almost always causes death if not treated. Even with treatment, death may occur.
Other Risks
What are the risks to others?
There is generally no risk to others. In theory, a person with rabies could transmit the infection if they bit someone else.
What are the treatments for the infection?
There are no treatments once the infection is established. When exposure to an infected animal is suspected, rabies prevention should be started immediately, as noted previously.
How is the infection monitored?
If a person is treated before symptoms occur, they are watched carefully to make sure they don't develop rabies. Once symptoms develop, death usually occurs. Treatment is provided in an intensive care unit, but is generally not successful.

I heard a Kronos album, You've Stolen My Heart - Songs from R.D. Burman's Bollywood with Indian singer Asha Bhosle. I thought it was good. And it's Asian music played by both Westerners and Asians. But I'm no expert, just an enjoyer. | |
Mon. 3/29/10 3:51pm
Thanks. Irene said the album was lovely, i think i'll trust her on this. I really dig Bretheren of the Free Spirit too, and what we heard is gorgeous, this Toure/Diabate album runs a lot on my cd player (thanks to Dan Bodah) | |

Steven Moffat has chatted this week about the casting of Peter Capaldi, and how he aimed to avoid another young actor as the 12th star of Doctor Who.
Put simply, they wanted a change; think of it as a reverse Peter Davison, if you will…
We couldn't have had another quirky young man because Matt had nailed the part. Peter's already a bit of a national treasure, an incredibly skilled, fine actor. As most people have realised, the moment you think of him in the part, you find it hard to think of anyone else.Every time I was at a TV do and Peter was there, he'd come over to talk about Doctor Who and he was the first to congratulate Matt. I started thinking: what if that genius actor might actually say 'yes'?
He's right, of course. Although looking at the image above, perhaps we're going to get a quirky old man instead…?
But what of the children, Steven? Won't someone think of the poor, young souls who will cry when their Doctor, Matt Smith, melts away? Moffat recalls his own initial dislike of Jon Pertwee, before observing:
I sympathise with the kids who've grown up with Matt Smith. It's like when you move home and your mum and dad say, 'You'll make new friends'.I always resented the intruder but then after a while, I forgot there had been one before him.
Have you had trouble adjusting to a new Doctor (in the show, we mean, not at your local surgery)? Let us know below!

Farmers need superior technology to feed a growing world, and Dow AgroSciences LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company, continues to provide it through products like Powercore, a new corn trait technology, that just received registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This innovative trait technology will provide the latest above-ground insect protection in corn via three different modes of action. Powercore Refuge Advanced will be launched as early as the 2015 growing season.
It will be offered as a refuge-in-the-bag product for planting convenience and refuge compliance, and will be stacked with the latest in herbicide-tolerant technology, pending regulatory approvals. Corn growers can expect to see Powercore in future demonstration plots. Dow AgroSciences previously launched Powercore in Brazil and Argentina in 2012, and the product is excelling in the marketplace as farmers look for sustainable solutions that help them maximize yield.
"Having product options is important to corn growers, and Powercore will be an outstanding choice for growers looking for superior above-ground pest control," says Ben Kaehler, U.S. Seeds general manager, Dow AgroSciences. "Powercore will control a wide range of yield-robbing insects so growers can get the most out of every corn acre."
Complementary to the company's SmartStax technology, Powercore will offer the broadest above-ground spectrum of insect control available, multiple modes of action for improved efficacy, and be offered in the latest and most elite genetics. A 5 percent refuge in the Corn Belt and 20 percent in the Cotton Belt is another key attribute farmers will appreciate.

Editor's note: The idea for this article was suggested by a GlobalPost member. What do you think we should cover? Become a member today to suggest and vote on story ideas.
NEW YORK — They're some of the country's most important environmental activists, poised to change the way we create, consume and conceive of energy.
But you won't find this cadre of green preachers on a college campus, or emceeing the Sierra Club's annual meeting.
You'll find them, clad in blazers and pantsuits, pushing their agenda behind the guarded walls of the Pentagon.
Since the midpoint of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a handful of US military personnel have been doggedly pursuing efforts to cultivate energy independence for America's armed forces.
This group of "greenhawks," as they've been dubbed, didn't set out to kick-start a national conversation about alternative energy. But in their push to transform the country's largest federal agency into one reliant on solar panels and hybrid vehicles rather than electric grids and gas-guzzling Humvees, they've arguably done exactly that.
"The needs of the Department [of Defense] have a long history of creating breakthroughs in the civilian realm," says Sharon Burke, the assistant secretary of defense for operational energy plans and programs. "And they have the potential to do that here."
Burke has been at the forefront of the military's green energy movement since 2009, when she was appointed to run a newly-created Pentagon office designed to strengthen operational energy capacities — that's anything used to support military operations, from forward-operating bases to Naval ships. In that role, it's become clear to Burke that green energy is the key solution.
"The demand signal for this came from our fielded forces [in Iraq and Afghanistan]," she says. "We've been moving so much fuel through difficult areas, in what's really a new kind of battlefield."
But much as Burke and her greenhawk allies — who include Gen. James Mattis, commander of the US Central Command, and Ray Mabus, secretary of the Navy — are pushing for energy alternatives, they're not doing it to assuage broader concerns about the eco-toll of conventional fuel. Rather, Burke and co. are intent on solving a single dilemma: How to create a stronger, more adaptable, more resilient American military.
"They have easily been the most forward-leaning of any federal agency," Will Rogers, an expert in energy and national security at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), says. "And rightfully so. The military's fuel demands are a major operational shortcoming."
Indeed, energy has been one of the key limiting factors for US troops in this generation's conflicts. The military spends $15 billion each year on energy, of which 80 percent is dedicated to oil. And by 2040, petroleum is expected to dwindle so severely that the military will no longer be able to rely on it, according to a recent CNAS report.
Outlandish fuel costs and reliance on oil-soaked Middle Eastern nations aside, the dependency creates a dangerous, unstable scenario for deployed soldiers: One of every eight Army fatalities in Iraq occurred during transit or protection of fuel convoys, according to a 2011 Pentagon study. By minimizing the necessity for such convoys, Burke and her colleagues hope to save lives at the same time.
Already, the military's greenhawks have successfully launched several green-energy ventures that are being used by this generation's soldiers — and could soon trickle into the consumer market.
Soldiers have carried solar-based gadget rechargers into Afghanistan, and have introduced solar-powered generators at some outposts overseas. In one instance, Marines in Afghanistan curbed their fuel usage from 20 gallons a day to 2.5 gallons using solar-powered equipment.
More from GlobalPost: The US' five most controversial military bases
Military vehicles, including ships, planes and motor vehicles, are also being transformed to use less conventional fuel. The Navy, under Mabus' leadership, recently sailed an entire aircraft carrier strike group powered with a combination of alternative energy sources. The Air Force has followed suit, funding research into fuel-efficient aircraft engines, and recently testing a synthetic jet fuel. And the military's even given GM's Chevy Volt a boost, in September announcing plans to buy 1,500 of the hybrid cars.
Despite these successes, the efforts of Burke, Mabus and others have also been met by widespread resistance within the Pentagon and in Congress. In particular, budgetary concerns have led some lawmakers and brass to criticize mega-expenditures — the Navy, for example, spent $12 million to fuel its green fleet demonstration.
"Sometimes people [at the Pentagon] seem to have these magical inboxes that seal themselves up," Burke says. "But we're keeping at it, staying persistent, and we're keeping this conversation on the table."
Assuming Burke and her allies soldier on, the military's contribution to civilian energy usage could very well be monumental: The Pentagon's multibillion annual energy budget, if dedicated in-part to alternative fuels, promises to both expand commercial exploits into green energy and reduce the overall costs — for companies and civilian consumers — of options like solar-powered devices and hybrid cars.
"The kinds of acquisitions the Department of Defense has the capacity to make will bear fruit for the commercial sector, and for ordinary Americans," Rogers predicts. "It might not have been their goal, but these secondary effects could really have huge benefit."

Home prices up for sixth consecutive month: S&P/Case-Shiller
U.S. home prices rose 3.6% in the third quarter when compared to year ago levels, according to Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices.
Prices studied from the national composite index also rose 2.2% from the second quarter of 2012.
The S&P's 10- and 20-city composite indices posted annual price increases of 2.1% and 3%, respectively. From August to September, both indices rose by 0.3%.
Out of the 20 metros studied for the survey, 17 of them saw higher home prices in September when compared to a month earlier.
The major metro of New York saw no changes in home prices, while Detroit and Washington D.C. had a notable, but slight decline in their annual rates, S&P said.
"Home prices rose in the third quarter, marking the sixth consecutive month of increasing prices," said David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "In September's report all three headline composites and 17 of the 20 cities gained over their levels of a year ago. Month-over-month, 13 cities and both composites posted positive monthly gains."
Phoenix saw a 20.4% increase in annual prices, while another hardest hit city – Atlanta – finally reversed 26 months of annual declines with a 0.1% annual rate increase in September. The cities of Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland and New York saw modest home price drops when comparing September to August.
The S&P report is in line with a new study from LPS, which noted Monday that home prices year-over-year increased 3.6% in September.

Tomorrow is April 12. This is a date that most space geeks have committed to memory like it's their mother's birthday -- you just don't forget it. It is the landmark day in the history of human space exploration, when Yuri Gagarin exclaimed, "Poehali!" (Let's go!) and became the first man to orbit the earth in 1961, and also the day that Astronauts John Young and Bob Crippen strapped into Shuttle Columbia and lit the engines for the inaugural space shuttle launch in 1981. This makes 2011 a particularly significant year, marking the 50th and 30th anniversaries (respectively) of these two amazing feats of engineering and willpower.
So how do we celebrate? Easy. Throw a worldwide space party, of course! Want to participate? There are currently 474 parties happening in 71 countries around the globe, all listed on the Yuri's Night Website. Simply visit the Yuri's Night event page and search for one near you! Can't make it to a physical event? The good folks at SpaceVidCast will be virtually covering the Yuri's Night action online starting at 2300 UTC/4pm PST on April 12.
Finally, there are some pretty cool Yuri's Night contests happening until April 15th. Prizes include a Zero G flight in Russia (!) and a Russian space tour (!!) -- visit the contest section of the website for the details.
Here in Los Angeles, we'll be celebrating at the Griffith Observatory -- all are welcome! And from Google Lunar X PRIZE HQ, we hope that everyone worldwide has a fantastic time celebrating past milestones and toasting to future successes in spaceflight tomorrow. Za zdorovye!

Chare -
Actually, I do see your point in that we are already at a point where we justify making "adjustments" to deal with our current sad state of affairs. Simple math would make it seem like the right thing to do, subtract b to prevent reduction of a. However still two wrongs don't make things right for the salmon and the solution to the core problem is not correlative genocide of another inter-related species thrown out of balance by our very own actions.
Case in point - sitka spruce and the pine weevil. In nature, when sitka spruce occurs in a certain density an explosion of a weevil population occurs and the trees die. This is by design in nature, and when we plant the same trees too close to each other we find out 20-30 years later that we messed up. Nature has a level of complexity that we can barely comprehend never mind master. These are just trees we are talking about, not the magnificent salmon and steelhead trout of the world.
I would respectfully contend that such adjustments aimed at erradicating other species are only band-aids that prove our ineptitude in managing mother nature correctly. In my opinion, it is a step directly in the wrong direction.
In many things, including casting instruction, we are taught to identify the core problem and treat that first and foremost. The core problem with salmon depletion is not the loon. Loss of habitat has made returns of many millions of salmonids become extinct in North America. Open seas exploitation by commercial fishermen in Greenland has been among the most impactive forces working against salmon whose home rivers range over several countries.
In nature, the birds and pinipeds serve a role in the same rhythm that all other organisms abide by, that is all but one. In my most humble opinion, the best thing we can do is to ensure that nature is given enough berth to achieve her magic and play God the very least possible, or better yet not at all.
Thanks for the compliments on my casting

Room 1
Grange Hotels, London
The Grange hotel group specialises in luxury hotels with a strong portfolio of four-star and two five-star hotels in central London and City locations. The 34-bedroom Lancaster hotel, a converted Georgian townhouse, is the groups only three-star property.
There are five Bloomsbury Collection boutique hotels (which dont carry the Grange name) and a good spread of Grange hotels near key attractions such as the West End, Covent Garden, the Tower of London, and St Pauls in the City.
All of the four-star hotels offer meetings and conference facilities and range in size from the 26-room Grange Blooms Hotel in Russell Square to the 370-room Grange Tower Bridge Hotel, a new breed of eco-friendly hotel launched in June 2011.
Both of the larger City-based, five-star properties - at Grange City near Tower Hill and Grange St Paul's - include a female-friendly wing which caters especially for businesswomen offering extra security, spyholes in the doors, a wider selection of herbal teas, spa toiletries, a vanity mirror, fashion magazines and hair straighteners.
For those in search of a relaxing spa and health club, the best choices are the groups two five-star hotels, the Grange Tower Bridge Hotel and the first hotel to open - the 307-bedroom Grange City hotel in Southampton Row, which includes a lovely 25-metre Greco-Roman style swimming pool.
If you prefer your hotel to have a history, the Grange group can offer several Georgian and Victorian townhouses as well as some properties with an interesting past. The 200-bed Grange Holborn, for example, was converted from a Ministry of Defence building, while the Grange Strathmore was the former residence of the late Queen Mothers father, the Earl of Strathmore.
For rooms with a view, try the Grange White Hall and the Grange Blooms hotels, both overlook or adjoin the British Museum, while the Grange City Hotel is just a gemstone's throw away from the Tower of London.
The group, owned by three brothers, Harpal, Raj and Tony Matharu, offers a strong portfolio of hotels from boutique townhouse hotels to modern office blocks converted into luxury hotels.

Mesmer eyes
Uploaded by Chan, Mar 12 2009 01:28 AM
I always planned on doing a page based on the eyes I used in the layout called "Look into my eyes"... Then I realized the colours of the Refresh 2 collection just went so well with background that it couldj ust as easily fit in with the Tuesday freebie challenge. The photo still has that hypnotic quality to it so I am posting it here.
All items used come from the Refresh 2 collection
The font is R1999
Lovely work! You are right that paper is perfect for those beautiful eyes.
Yes! The paper is perfect for those beautiful blue eyes! My son has the same color eyes. I'll have to remember your layout the next time I do a layout that focus' on his eyes! It's just wonderful!
WOW This is Fantastic! I love what you've done with this!
Oh, that is a great photo. I love the scrollwork going over and under the pic, too.
Lovely page! Wonderful photo, and I like how you used the swirls. The colors are wonderful with your photo as well. Great job!
Neat idea to use the journaling pad on the back of the photo ... never thought of that. I love the swirls and the picture too.
OH, look at those eyes. How sweet is he. (although if he's like my boys, sweet wouldn't be the word they'd want me to use
What a beautiful layout. I love the scrolls behind the photo and the color of your background sure does match his eyes.
What a beautiful layout. I love the scrolls behind the photo and the color of your background sure does match his eyes.
What a wonderful layout. I love the swirls and the background and the colors bring out those beautiful eyes! I love your title too - very clever!
Those really are mesmerizing eyes! You've done a fantastic job with this LO and you're right; the colors are perfect. Great page!
This is beautiful too Chan. The background paper works really well with the photo and I love the swirls.
