New & NowFood52 Life
UPDATE: Celebrate Yourselves!
We are thrilled and impressed by the wide array of plans and ideas you have for parties! One thing we'd like to keep in mind is that we want to celebrate all the hard work that everyone has done on this book -- we see these parties as our chance to use grassroots party planning to send off the book in the best possible way, so that it will sell lots of copies and bring all of your amazing recipes into the kitchens of people who haven't yet learned about Food52. We also appreciate those who have spread the love on their own blogs and websites.
A couple of notes:
The books we're providing are a thank you gift from us to the host. For the rest of your guests, please ask them to remember to register your pre-sales on the Harper Collins website. This puts you in the running for snazzy Food52 totes! And we'll send signed book plates for all pre-sold books!
And please understand that we can't provide wine, books, and OXO tools to very small parties, or to parties that don't specifically have a Food52 Cookbook theme. Hope you'll understand -- we don't want to overstep our bounds with any of our generous sponsors.
We hope you have a fun time and we are looking forward to posting the photos you send us -- hint, hint!
Our hope is that The Food52 Cookbook will be wildly successful and fly off the shelves, so we can continue to do cool projects like this at Food52!
UPDATE ON THE UPDATE: Click here to see and join the Food52 Book Parties in the works (more added)!
As you've spent a year (no, two!) cooking up a storm and telling us about it, the promised cookbook's been under way. At last, we are thrilled to announce its release. On October 25th, the beauty (above -- featuring these delicious Zucchini Pancakes) hits stores -- a fun and food-filled 52 weeks of recipes created by you; curated, tested, and published by you and us, and now put in print by A&M and the Food52 community.
And now, we have one final request: stop, drop and throw a party! We're celebrating the launch and you should too. It's simple! Here is a roadmap that will get you on your way to hosting your very own Food52 Cookbook Potluck Party:
1. Brainstorm a list of your favorite food enthusiasts to help you relish in the spirit of Food52.
2. Have 'em over, ON OR AFTER OCTOBER 25, 2011! Invite your friends using one of our three readymade e-cards (below!) -- now, that's an invite worth RSVP-ing to!
If you want to open up your guest list to other Food52 members on the site, leave a comment below. Let people know where you are, and give your party a name -- like "Julie's Omaha Party" -- so people can register the correct party name for their pre-order (more on this later), and then ask people who want to come to message you through the site.
Quick but crucial note: If you're a Mac user, drag the image to your desktop; if you use a PC, right click it to save the image to your desktop.
Or, click here to download a book tile ad to post on your website or blog!
3. And -- in true Food52 fashion -- there's a prize!
Win a handsome, sturdy Food52 tote (sporting our new logo!) for you and each of your guests, when everyone registers their pre-orders of the cookbook. Totes go to the party with the highest average number of pre-ordered books per attendee. We'll announce the winners on November 20, 2011 and the bags'll ship out soon thereafter! Holiday gift, anyone?
And so: Pre-order the book on Amazon by October 25th!
Don't forget: Register your pre-orders here.
4. But of course -- there's swag! If you host an official Food52 Cookbook Potluck Party between October 25th and December 31, 2011, you'll get:
- • 5 copies of The Food52 Cookbook
- • Signed bookplates for all pre-orders (but just because we're not there doesn't mean you can't sign each other's copies!)
- • 4 bottles of wine and a boozy surprise for your guests from Lot18, online wine mecca for the first 30 host registrants (however, wine delivery is not possible in the following states: AR, DE, KY, ME, MO, MS, OK, PA, SD and UT. Apologies!)
- • OXO's niftiest new gadget for you and your guests
- 5. Send us a postcard!
- No really, we wish we were there. Please email us at [email protected] an album of festive party photos to be featured on Food52. And of course, there's a prize for the "Most Impressive Potluck Array". Go to town!
- But, wait! What about the food?

KINSHASA (Reuters) - The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Democratic Republic of Congo will deploy more troops to copper-rich Katanga province to help fight worsening militia violence there, the U.N. force commander said on Wednesday.
Katanga has been spared much of the violent disorder that has plagued large swathes of the vast Central African nation for nearly two decades. But the southern province, home to some of the world's largest copper reserves, has seen a rise in attacks by armed Bakata-Katanga secessionists since last year.
Hundreds of rebels attacked the Katangan capital Lubumbashi in 2013 before surrendering after battles with security forces. Fighting again approached the city in January.
General Carlos Dos Santos Cruz, head of the U.N. military force in Congo, said additional troops would be deployed to protect civilians in the so-called "triangle of death", one of the regions hardest hit by the violence.
The 22,000-strong U.N. mission, known as MONUSCO, now has only 450 soldiers deployed to Katanga.
"We are going to deploy one company, about 100 to 120 men. Then we want to...launch joint operations with the Congolese army," Dos Santos Cruz told a news conference in the capital Kinshasa.
The Bakata-Katanga militia is demanding independence for Katanga, whose rich mineral deposits have attracted international mining companies including Freeport-McMoRan and Glencore.
Violence in Katanga has not reached the intensity seen in Congo's eastern borderlands where the U.N.-backed army last year defeated the M23 rebellion - the greatest threat to President Joseph Kabila in a decade.
However, over 400,000 civilians are currently displaced by violence in Katanga, according the U.N. refugee agency.
Katanga has a history of secessionist movements dating back to a failed attempt to break away from newly independent Congo in the early 1960s.
Feelings that Katangans should benefit more from the province's vast mineral wealth continue to strain relations with the central government in distant Kinshasa.

Since Asphalt & Rubber has been coming to you live from the Isle of Man this past fortnight, we've gotten hip to what our friends across the pond are doing these days. While we doubt that the copious amounts of tea and superfluous use of the letter "u" in words will stick with us when we return to the US, we do know that today is the Queen Elizabeth II's Official Birthday in the UK (which oddly enough isn't her actual birthday).
As is the custom on her official birthday, the Queen names a list of recipients of royal honours and those admitted to the Order of the British Empire, with this year including TTXGP's Azhar Hussain as a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his contributions to motorsport.

Starkville spends time with Outlaw during special day
Travis Outlaw has played in many of America's most famous venues.
He's lived in cities like Portland and Los Angeles during his National Basketball Association career.
Still, for the former Starkville High standout and current New Jersey Nets forward, there's only one place he calls home.
"Starkville is it for me," said Outlaw. "I'm really not a big city type of person. I love being home around family and friends."
Outlaw got to experience being around plenty of loved ones on Saturday as people came out by the hundreds to spend time with their local hero at McKee Park as part of Travis Outlaw Day.
Each year, residents of Starkville put on this event to honor Outlaw for the work he does in the community.
Most recently, Outlaw financially helped a local youth baseball team get the chance to play in the Dizzy Dean World Series.
"I do those kinds of things because I was blessed to have an opportunity to go out and play when I was young," said Outlaw. "Teams picked me up in AAU and stuff, and I want kids to have the same opportunities that I had. If I can help just one kid, it's a blessing. It's kind of hard being able to do some things living in Mississippi, but I want to make sure everyone gets a fair opportunity."
It's that type of giving attitude that has helped Outlaw maintain his humbleness, and causes the friends he has always had, like the ones at McKee Park Saturday, to not see him as an NBA star but the kid they always knew.
"Everyone still treats me the same," said Outlaw. "All these people that helped raise me, I'm still little Travis to them."
To others, like some of the youth who got to meet him on Saturday, Outlaw is a larger-than-life professional athlete.
"There's been so many kids I've met, I can't even count," said Outlaw.
Regardless of people's reasoning for coming out on Saturday, whether it was to say thanks, catch up with their old friend, or meet a NBA star, Outlaw is grateful the event is held each year.
"This is just amazing, it gets bigger and bigger every year," said Outlaw as he surveyed the crowd. "Everybody coming out here to support me, and all I can do is just be thankful. I thank everyone who came out."

Developed by Ironclad Games, Sins of a Solar Empire is a real-time strategy game that adds an extreme amount of depth normally only seen in turn-based releases.
Specifically, Entrenchment promises to bring fans a Starbase defense platform for each race (extremely powerful and armored bases housing a variety of weapons and other upgrades capable of defending an entire planet), turret upgrades for each race to make them more powerful (not only stronger than the current versions, but also upgradable with long-range weapons), mine fields and a Subspace Inhibitor platform that will slow enemy ships within its range.
"Sins of a Solar Empire, which was already an amazing game experience, is getting some outstanding ways to conquer others or defend your race," said Stardock CEO and President Brad Wardell. "We're excited about being able to deliver expansion packs in a more modular way than traditionally. Now players can pick and choose what features they want rather than paying a higher price for a larger expansion pack which may have features they aren't interested in."
Ironclad has two additional micro-expansions in development as well. One of which adds new diplomacy features to the game and another that will add new technologies and ships.
The expansions are being developed to prevent fracturing of the multiplayer community. If both players have a given expansion pack installed, the features are available, but if one does not, the expansion pack features are disabled for that particular game.
Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment is currently in development and will be released late 2008 for $9.95 via Stardock's Impulse digital distribution platform.

Sport Studies Concentration
© David Schmitz Photography
Welcome to Graduate Sport Studies Program at SJSU!
Department of Kinesiology Sport Studies Graduate Program Fact Sheet.
Our Multi-Disciplinary Approach
Sport Studies is the widely accepted title for the academic study of the social institutions and cultural practices related to sport. Sport Studies encompasses a variety of approaches to the study of sport and the body, and is comprised of theories and research methodologies from psychology, sociology, history, philosophy, and cultural studies of sport.
Our Philosophy
In the Department of Kinesiology, Sport Studies approaches sport from a critical perspective that addresses issues of social identity, power, and agency, while recognizing the positive effects of sport and exercise participation and experiences.
Thus, students going through the Sport Studies curriculum will identify and analyze ways that sport and exercise can produce, reproduce, or contest social inequities to potentially affect positive social change at the individual, community, national, and global levels.
Doctoral Program Preparation
By providing a flexible and interdisciplinary course of study, the Sport Studies curriculum will prepare students for careers in sport-related settings such as coaching, sport psychology, and public, community, and private sport organizations. In addition, the Sport Studies curriculum will equip students with a solid academic foundation for entrance into doctoral programs in the US, Canada, and abroad.
Graduate Research
Our graduate students have engaged in a variety of research projects and thesis studies, including numerous sport and exercise psychology studies, coaching studies and manuals, critical media studies, ethnographic work, historical and philosophical analyses of sport and exercise phenomena, and many others. Among the technological resources available to our students is the Qualitative Research lab, equipped with the latest software for data analysis.

First Presbyterian Church in Lewiston has announced that, for the first time, it is a drop-off location for Operation Christmas Child. Items can be dropped off from Nov. 18-24 at 505 Cayuga St.
This worldwide outreach of Operation Christmas Child - a project of Samaritan's Purse - ministers to children in war-torn and famine-stricken countries. In just two decades, it has inspired everyday people to provide more than 100 million gift-filled shoeboxes to needy children in 130 countries.
If you would like to help a needy child in another part of the world, all you have to do is take a shoe box, decide on male or female and age (2-4, 5-9, 10-14), and fill it with items appropriate for the age you chose. If you like, wrap the shoe box with Christmas paper (top and bottom separately), put a rubber band around it and bring it to the church. There, church staff has specific labels for the boxes (or you can get them online). Samaritan's Purse does request, if possible, for participants to put a donation of $7 in the box to help offset the cost of shipping the box around the world. Boxes can be tracked online at the Operation Christmas Child website, http://www.samaritanspurse.org.
For more information, call the church at 716-754-4945 (Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.). All boxes need to be to the church by 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 24.
Boxes ready to be filled also can be picked up at Mangia Café, 621 Center St., Lewiston.

Tear Down That Wall
The Catholic priests who abused children—and the men who covered it up—must be prosecuted.
Also in Slate, Michael Sean Winters analyzes the pope's evolving response to the abuse scandal.
Here's a little thought experiment on practical ethics. Suppose that you are having a drink with a new acquaintance and the subject of law-breaking comes up. "Ever been in any trouble with the authorities?"
You may perhaps mention your arrest at a demonstration, your smuggling of excess duty-free goods, that brush with the narcotics people, that unwise attempt at insider trading. Your counterpart may show a closer acquaintance with the criminal justice system. He once did a bit of time for forgery, or for robbery with a touch of violence, or for a domestic dispute that got a bit out of hand. You are still perhaps ready to have lunch next Friday. But what if he says: "Well, I once knew a couple who trusted me as their baby sitter. Two little boys they had—one of 12 and one of 10. A good bit of fun I had with those kids when nobody was looking. Told them it was our secret. I was sorry when it all ended." I hope I don't seem too judgmental if I say that at this point the lunch is canceled or indefinitely postponed.
And would you feel any less or any more revulsion if the man went on to say, "Of course, I wasn't strictly speaking in any trouble with the law. I'm a Catholic priest, so we don't bother the police or the courts with that stuff. We take care of it ourselves, if you catch my meaning"?
Yet this is exactly what we are forced to read about every day. The happiness and the health of countless children was systematically destroyed by men who could count on their clerical bosses to shield them from legal retribution and, it seems, even from moral condemnation. A bit of "therapy" or a swift change of locale was the worst that most of them had to fear.
Almost every week, I go and debate with spokesmen of religious faith. Invariably and without exception, they inform me that without a belief in supernatural authority I would have no basis for my morality. Yet here is an ancient Christian church that deals in awful certainties when it comes to outright condemnation of sins like divorce, abortion, contraception, and homosexuality between consenting adults. For these offenses there is no forgiveness, and moral absolutism is invoked. Yet let the subject be the rape and torture of defenseless children, and at once every kind of wiggle room and excuse-making is invoked. What can one say of a church that finds so much latitude for a crime so ghastly that no morally normal person can even think of it without shuddering?
It's interesting, too, that the same church did its best to hide the rape and torture from the secular authorities, even forcing child victims (as in the disgusting case of Cardinal Sean Brady, the spiritual chieftain of the Catholics of Ireland) to sign secrecy oaths that prevented them from testifying against their rapists and torturers. Why were they so afraid of secular justice? Did they think it would be less indifferent and pliable than private priestly investigations? In that case, what is left of the shabby half-baked argument that people can't understand elementary morality without a divine warrant?
One mustn't claim all that much for secular justice either, since Cardinal Brady and many like him have neither been dismissed by the church nor prosecuted by the civil power. But this dereliction on the part of the courts and police has mainly occurred in countries or provinces—Ireland, Massachusetts, Bavaria—where the church has undue influence on the bureaucracy. When are we going to see what the parents and relatives of the devastated children want to see and need to see: a senior accomplice of the cover-up actually facing a jury?
Pope Benedict's pathetic and euphemistic letter to his "flock" in Ireland doesn't even propose that such people should lose their positions in the church. And this cowardly guardedness on his part is for a good and sufficient reason: If there was to be a serious criminal investigation, it would have to depose the pope himself. Not only did he, as Archbishop Joseph Ratzinger, protect a dangerously criminal priest in his own diocese of Munich and Freising in 1980, having him sent only for "therapy" instead of having him arrested. (The question of the priest's later reassignment to assault more children, which the church continues to obfuscate, is irrelevant to the fact of Ratzinger's direct and personal involvement in the original crime.) Not content with this, Ratzinger later originated, as a cardinal and head of a major institution in Rome, a letter that effectively instructed all bishops to refuse cooperation with any inquiry into what was fast becoming a global scandal.
Eighteen of Germany's 27 Roman Catholic dioceses are now facing government investigations after a breach in what Germany's justice minister has rightly described as "a wall of silence." That wall was originally constructed by the man who now heads the church. The wall must be torn down. The fish—the ancient Christian symbol adopted by those who regard human beings as a shoal to be netted—absolutely rots from the head. I don't think the full implications of this have even begun to sink in. The supreme leader of the Roman Catholic Church is now a prima facie suspect in a criminal enterprise of the most appalling sort—and in the attempt to obstruct justice that has been part and parcel of that enterprise. He is also the political head of a state—the Vatican—that has given asylum to wanted men like the disgraced Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston. What, then, is the position when the pope decides to travel—as, for example, he intends to do on a visit to Britain later this year? Does he have immunity? Does he claim it? Should he have it? These questions demand serious answers. Meanwhile, we should register the fact that the church can find ample room in its confessionals and its palaces for those who commit the most evil offense of all. Whether prosecuted or not, they stand condemned. But prosecution must follow, or else we admit that there are men and institutions that are above and beyond our laws.

The federal government is taking a new approach to conservation with a $1.2 billion program in the Farm Bill that will include competitive grants for soil and water improvements in eight regions, including the longleaf pine forests of North Carolina and other Southern states, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said on Thursday.
"This is a new day," Vilsack said in an interview.
In the past, conservation money has gone to individual farmers and other landowners. While that work will continue, The U.S. Department of Agriculture is adding a regional program aimed at encouraging companies, universities, conservation groups and communities to invest along with the federal government in innovative conservation projects, he said.
The federal government will make the $1.2 billion available over the next five years and expects that the other partners will match it, Vilsack said. While there have been regional grants over the past five years, he said this will be the first time the program will operate on a national scale.
The money will be divided so that 35 percent goes to the eight regional conservation areas. USDA plans to build on its existing partnerships to improve the profitability and sustainability of privately owned longleaf pine forests. The trees covered 3.4 million acres in the South in 2010, down from what once was 90 million acres.
The other seven conservation regions are the Columbia, Mississippi and Colorado river basins, the Prairie Grasslands and Great Lakes regions, the California Bay Delta and the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
In addition, 40 percent of the money for the new program will go to regional projects through a nationally competitive grant program, and 25 percent will go to states, where agencies will run their own competitive process to determine how to use the grants.
Vilsack said that the department's traditional approach of giving conservation funds to individual landowners and farmers would continue to make up the bulk of its conservation work. But he said the new competitive grants were expected to encourage investments that would improve habitat, expand outdoor tourism and add jobs.
"One of the results of this will be that not every project is going to get funded," the Agriculture secretary said. "But when people spend the time and resources to put together a strategic plan for a region and focus on a set of projects, the likelihood is once they've done that work they're not going to put it on the shelf. They're going to find out locally how to fund it, and next year in another round of funding they might be more competitive."
In Missouri, for example, grants would go for such things as preventing farmland floods and making sure farmers have enough water in dry times. California and Texas are expected to use the money to find ways to use water more effectively in order to reduce the damage from long-term droughts.

Press Release
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania Sign Tri-State Banking Pact
April 15, 2008
JERSEY CITY/NEW YORK CITY – Banking officials from Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey today signed a compact that will allow banks in those three states to expand across state lines and be regulated only by their home state regulator.
The compact, an agreement which will strengthen the state chartered banking system and the financial services industry in the greater New York Metropolitan Region, was signed in ceremonies today in Jersey City and New York City.
"This agreement strengthens and streamlines our states' regulation of banks and financial institutions, and will enhance banks' abilities to expand across state lines," said New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (DOBI) Commissioner Steven M. Goldman. "This is a very positive action for consumers and banks in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania."
Under provisions of the agreement, banks in these three states that open branches or expand into states participating in the compact, will operate under their home state's laws and regulatory oversight. For example, a Pennsylvania bank can expand into New Jersey or New York and be subject only to Pennsylvania banking laws.
Previously, banks expanding across state lines were either subject to regulations in the host state or had the option to relinquish their state charter in favor of federal charters which are more costly and can be less restrictive.
"This compact makes it easier for each of us to help our own citizens," said Pennsylvania Secretary of Banking Steve Kaplan. "Clearly, when Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey consumers have issues with out-of-state banks, each of us wants to know about it. And, more importantly, we want to have a say in how issues are handled and ensure that they're quickly resolved."
The agreement also allows state chartered banks to grow across state lines while preserving the vitality of the dual banking system.
"This compact builds parity between state and national banks," said New York Superintendent of Banks Richard H. Neiman. "This is a significant step in retaining a competitive balance, which is the foundation of the dual banking system."
Bankers Associations expressed strong support for the agreement.
"The New York Bankers Association strongly supports initiatives which will enhance the state banking charter and harmonize state regulation to reduce uncertainty and unnecessary regulatory duplication. We applaud the announcement today and the leadership of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania," said Michael P. Smith, President & CEO of the New York Bankers Association, which represents independent, thrift, community, regional and money center banks throughout New York State, with combined assets of more than $9 trillion and more than 300,000 employees.
"The New Jersey banking community applauds this tri-state agreement that will streamline the regulatory process for institutions wishing to expand beyond their state borders. Having one state regulator will simplify regulatory compliance for banks with offices in more than one state, reduce compliance costs and enhance the state charter while giving New Jersey banks a better opportunity to serve customers in New York and Pennsylvania," said a statement issued jointly by John McWeeney president of the New Jersey Bankers Association and James Silkensen, president of the New Jersey League of Community Bankers
The signing was made up of two events. The first event took place at the historic corporate offices of The Provident Bank in Jersey City. The Provident is New Jersey's oldest and largest state chartered bank.
Two hours later, the compact was signed again in an event sponsored by the New York State Banking Department at the Museum of American Finance, which is located in the former Bank of New York headquarters building. The Bank of New York was founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1784, making it the first state bank in New York and the oldest existing bank in the United States. The event was held in the room that was once Alexander Hamilton's office.

Support for the Microsoft Extended Debugging Interface (eXDI) in ARM RealView ICE significantly improves visibility and control of any ARM processor-based platform being used for Windows Embedded CE Operating System development
CAMBRIDGE, UK – May 6, 2008 – ARM [(LSE:ARM) (Nasdaq:ARMH)] today announced that working in collaboration with Microsoft, the ARM® RealView® ICE tool, a member of the RealView family of development tools, will enable enhanced hardware-assisted debug for the Microsoft Visual Studio software development tool . The Extended Debugging Interface (eXDI) drivers developed by ARM for the RealView ICE unit enables Windows Embedded CE operating system developers to immediately take advantage of the extended debug capabilities enabled by the ICE unit to gain full visibility and control of the ARM processor-based hardware.
"By leveraging the RealView ICE unit for hardware assisted debug from the Microsoft Visual Studio debug environment, our customers now have an increased level of debug visibility," said Kim Chau, Silicon Vendor Partner Marketing manager, Windows Embedded Business, Microsoft Corp. "Coupling ARM's expertise on silicon, tools and technologies with Microsoft's Windows Embedded CE is a natural fit that enables our mutual customers to reduce both time-to-market and overall project risk."
The RealView ICE unit connects to the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE through the eXDI adaptation layer and a GUI extension is provided enabling access to additional debug functions and the ARM processor features.

Skip to comments.Kentucky fans riot after Final Four win
Posted on 04/02/2012 10:01:21 PM PDT by Beaten Valve
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A day after raucous celebrations led to more than two dozen arrests, police said Sunday that they are ready to control crowds near the University of Kentucky's campus when the Wildcats play Kansas for the national championship.
Lexington city police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts told The Associated Press on Sunday that several hundred officers will be out in force on Monday to help keep order.
"We're prepared," she said. "We expect a majority of people to obey the law."
Police plan a few adjustments from Saturday, when thousands of fans spilled onto streets after Kentucky defeated cross-state rival Louisville in New Orleans. Fans torched couches and overturned a car before setting it ablaze.
(Excerpt) Read more at abclocal.go.com ...
Lexington Police scanner:
Doggone Canadians...
There's 9942 listeners to this scanner station right now.
Sounds like a lot of crowd noise on some of those radio calls.
Dueling demonstrations. Which end up costing more police expenses? Occupy demonstrations or out of control sports fans. ;-) See link for Occupy demonstration costs.
A riot? There was a group of people being fairly destruction among a crowd that was standing around watching them and not participating. Bad stuff going on - yes - but nothing that could described as a "riot."
they seem to be concerned that there is an "open mic". I think that is where the crowd noise is coming from.
Sounds like the Police are out-manned.
They're just trying to herd these kids onto streets so fire trucks can get through.
Boy! Imagine what would happen if someone at the University discovered a new PLANET?!/s;)
They just reported that somebody said "they were going to shoot everybody."
I don't know what will end up happening tonight one way or the other - I was responding to the headline about what happened Saturday night.
Just heard a "shots fired, man down" call.
Get out of Kentucky as soon as possible.
Police: "We've got two male nude subjects in custody here..."
The Lexington Herald-Leader said that by 1 a.m. there had been at least 13 arrests, including several people suspected of arson. The newspaper also reported police had to dodge flying beer bottles while taking fire extinguishers to put out dozens of fires
People running around nude too?
Can't imagine what they'd do if something bad happened.
The people on this thread obviously don't understand Kentucky fans. They're fanatics whose personalities and self-esteem are completely wrapped up in the wins and losses of their team.
Just noting that the article itself is from Sunday after the semifinal win.
"Can't imagine what they'd do if something bad happened"
Like maybe having the season and championship game vacated............

You know that house on the block that always has cars in the driveway and out on the street, with people coming in and out all the time? Parties, get-togethers on holidays, kids running all over the neighborhood into and out of that house, with dogs barking and voices excitedly shouting and phones constantly ringing and it seems as if they always have people visiting them to the extent that you're not sure who is *supposed* to be living there, and who's merely a guest?
Yeah, that house. I don't know how this happened, but that's my house now. I married into a huge extended family -- think "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" -- and along with that came visitors and pets and friends of friends of friends, and we have our own pets and my in-laws' pets and my children's friends' pets, and it's hard to tell which dogs are ours and which we're simply dog-sitting.
The point? You ask. Well, we have tile floors. Therefore, we have dirty tile floors. Kids spill drinks and food, people track mud and dirt and leaves in with their shoes, and don't even get me started on the dogs. I used to mop every single day. Not kidding. It was either that or allow the tile floors to get so dirty that future archaeologists would be able to date the time periods according to the different layers of debris covering our tile.
And then the Scooba appeared in our lives. I'd like to say that she showed up on our doorstep (much like some relatives we've had visiting), but actually she was a gift from my mother-in-law. All I do now is fill the tank with the cleaner, and then empty the tank later. That's it, the rest of the work is done by our Scooba. She works without complaint on a nightly basis, just like I USED to do.
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI -- After many spilled drinks (mostly margaritas) on the kitchen floor, and lack of time or interest, I broke down and bought a Scooba. I heard good things about the Roomba so I thought I would buy the Scooba to save from bending over to mop my floors. I have to admit I have a love for it. I think I might spill my drink intentionally just to see it go, but that is just crazy talk. Who would intentionally spill a drink.

For the record I'm basing this on the reactions that the Internet provided us all with, which will be very entertaining to just over half the country.

The broadcast and cable networks pulled out all the stops and spared no expense to deliver exciting, visually compelling coverage of Election Night 2012 - an evening which engendered a good deal of excitement on its own. J3 Productions LLC in Austin, Texas chose HRS Control's UDC 400 (Universal Device Controller) to help feed content to a dynamic set designed for ABC's Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos, who were hosting from a studio at the epicenter of New York City's Times Square.
J3's John Mims selected the powerful, fully-customizable UDC 400 control surface to take a pair of Vista Systems' Spyder X20 1608 systems through their paces as they fed imagery to a number of destinations. "The Vista Spyder and UDC are fixtures for each and every large show J3 Productions is involved with," he says.
UDC 400 got Mims's vote to control the Spyders feeding displays across ABC's Election Night set. They included a seamless video wall, comprised of 17 60-inch Sharp monitors in a 9x3 configuration, which formed an atmospheric background for the anchors; seven 60-inch Sharp displays, which were rotated 90 degrees and joined to create a roughly 4:1 aspect ratio used a background image for a panel of expert political analysts; a Barco NX 4mm LED wall in a circular shape, which displayed an interactive map of national polling results; and an Everbrighten 5mm LED wall, which formed a header completely rimming the upper portion of the set.
"The UDC 400 works flawlessly with virtually zero delay when triggering commands," notes Mims. "I have yet to see another such innovative, user-friendly control interface on the market. And I emphasize 'user-friendly,' because there are other control systems out there, but none match the flexibility and intuitive nature of the HRS Control platform."
Mims says that, as a company, High Resolution Systems "pioneered in the industry with regard to their work on the Montage system and 300 series Spyders - they have an acute level of understanding at multi-destination and screen management. Now High Resolution has again pioneered by way of system and show control. I have been using UDC 400 since its inception and have had nothing but success with it. I have watched it grow into a very slick piece of technology."
Mims adds that the people behind the UDC 400 have proved equally important to his success with the device controller. "The support I get from Drew Taylor and his team is top notch.

Steam is a online gaming platform that provides the ability to distribute games and other content directly to gamers around the world.
>In the first place Steam is disribution platform.
>If you want to play not only in rougelike, you have to accept DRM systems.
yeah just like GOG and look at their huge DRM-Free game cataloge...
>publisher chooses.
Thats not true, the users will always decide with their wallet.
For me heavy DRM is a NO-go but the old cd-key based ones (eg: Doom3/Quake4/Prey) were OK for me.
But the newer ones are bullshit because:
I want to own my games and I want to be able to play them even if the service discontinues or the game is removed.
I love to move my games around eg. an USB Pendrive/Hard disk to play them on another PC.
I don't want to waste my PC-power for another background process that is completly unnecessary for the game.
I hate to share information about me or my installed Programs and services to a unknown third party.
anyway, it's your decision to agree to their EULA - but don't cry if something goes wrong...
By the way about gog.
These games you may at any moment copy to any other PC because so decided publisher.
Steam for me it is primarily a user-friendly service, which makes many things easier. Buy, download (even if you are far away from the PC), sync, network games, comunity and other.
I think that games can be forgiven proprietary.
How do you think - would be thinking about in CryTek about porting CryENGINE on Linux, if not for Steam?
Nobody forces you to use Steam, but his role in the modern gaming industry is undeniable. And porting it to Linux will only benefit Linux-gamers.
P.S. Sory for my еnglish.
I think Steam is good for GNU/Linux gamers for several reasons:
- Promotes the port of games.
- Helps to enhance drivers and libraries.
- Makes GNU/Linux more visible in the videogames industry.
However I don't use it because of the DRM. In the way it works, I don't even see Steam as a platform to buy games, but a platform to rent games instead.
- Microsoft decides to monopolize it's store and Steam disappears? You lose all the games.
- Valve decides our market is no profitable? You lose all the games.
- You didn't respect the EULA? You lose all the games.
- Gave has a bad day? You lose all the games.
- The network connection is down? You (temporarily) lose all the games.
Yes, there are some DRM-free games in Steam, but you don't need Steam to get them and there are more friendly places around.
> Promotes the port of games.
Are you sure? I havn't ssen that many new games since steam is available (the most of them are Valve or Source based games)...
>Helps to enhance drivers and libraries.
maybe that's true but only for intel86 based hardware, so always keep in mind: Linux is cross-platform - Steam is not...
ok, finally i got it to work, i don't recommend anyone to follow this HOW-TO it is NOT EASY.
i use a wheezy with wheezy-backports but steam package is available for jessie only.
ok first i added i386 architecture:
dpkg --add-architecture i386
so far so good
now i needed to add the jessie repository
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
i just stuffed it into /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
i didn't wanted to install anything form jessie that i don't need. so no upgrade here ... and no
apt-get install steam ether.That doesn't work, apt-get or synaptic are not able to install the dependencies. Thats where it goes mad because i used aptitude for it.
aptitude install steam aptitude could fix all dependencies in a non destructive manner. yeha...
Ok for the fglrx driver to play nice with i386 architecture i had to
apt-get install libgl1-fglrx-glx:i386
anyway i got it to work. witch is more than the last time i tried it and had to reinstall everything because i upgraded to jessie.

Are you there? Share your story with CNN iReport, but please stay safe. Or read more on CNNArabic.
(CNN) -- As rockets fly in Gaza and Israel, a shareable and ready-to-retweet version of the violence is playing out online.
Official military accounts for the Israel Defense Forces and the military wing of Hamas have been posting slick-looking, social-media-friendly graphics in an effort to sway public opinion.
Here's one example from Israel, retweeted some 2,600 times:
style="float:right;clear:both;width:430px;margin:0;padding:0 0 19px 175px">
What would you do if rockets were striking your country? RT if you agree that #Israel has the right to self-defense. twitter.com/IDFSpokesperso...— IDF (@IDFSpokesperson) November 16, 2012
And another from Hamas, retweeted more than 350 times:
#Israel's most inhuman army kills #Gaza civilians, kids, women and eldersGaza Victims in Numbers#HumanRights #Amnesty twitter.com/AlqassamBrigad...— Alqassam Brigades (@AlqassamBrigade) November 15, 2012
Notice that both sides want Internet users to "share this" or "share now." That's a new concept for militaries that are engaged in active conflict, writes Matt Buchanan for BuzzFeed.
"Unlike any propaganda machine before it, it's inherently viral. It's designed to spread," he wrote. The IDF's tweets "are a mixture of documentation, saber rattling, sober reminders of the reality of war, and upbeat updates on the advanced state of its technology. All delivered direct to you. Please RT."
But as both sides seek to distort the reality of a conflict that has killed three Israelis and more than two dozen Palestinians, they could have taken a lesson from social media history: Online marketing campaigns tend to backfire, at least in part.
"On one level, it makes sense for the military to use the internet to provide useful information and possibly even explain its mission to the public. (They have Spanish and French-language versions of the account too, for added global reach.)," writes Dashiell Bennett for The Atlantic Wire. "But the odd tone of the writing, has taken some people aback and left the IDF open to mockery and charges of insensitivity regarding a very sensitive subject."
The people of the Internet have started using the same tools as Israel and Hamas to mock the idea of a military broadcasting live information about itself on social platforms.
"IDF announced the war on Twitter, warned Gazans thru SMS & troops showed us action on Instagram." wrote one Twitter user, @THE_47th. "Israel is the Kim Kardashian of nations."
In response to Hamas' death toll image, one Twitter user wrote: "so be *real* heroes for your people - stop firing back. Restraint is what requires real courage."
The jabs -- some humorous, some serious -- show how difficult it can be to control the conversation in an era of real-time media.
Here's one of the more-discussed critiques of Israel's social media campaign, in which a writer for the site BuzzFeed created a fake tweet from the Israel Defense Forces:
MT @idfspokesperson: I just ousted Hamas as the mayor of Gaza on @foursquare!— Andrew Kaczynski (@BuzzFeedAndrew) November 15, 2012
That post, in which the author appears to mock use of social media, also raised questions about humor during a violent conflict, and the authenticity of information on social networks.
"Does a journalist faking a tweet from an official govt account cross a line?" asked Alex Howard, a writer at O'Reilly Media.
BuzzFeed's co-founder came to the defense of that tweet's author:
@mathewi @digiphile clearly humor, not fabrication. It's OK if it made u laugh, over the line if it didn't, that's the problem with humor!— Jonah Peretti (@peretti) November 16, 2012
Some criticism takes a more serious tone.
"The Twitter/BuzzFeed friendly media strategy of IDF this time -- big infographics, tweets made to go viral etc -- scares the hell out of me," Tom Gara wrote on Twitter.
And others fear the tit-for-tat could actually escalate the conflict.
"This is a new reality of war," Heather Hurlburt, from the National Security Network, told the Los Angeles Times. "And I worry that it's going to make it harder to stand down."
There already have been some efforts to quantify who is winning the war on social media. Hamas wins when it comes to the use of its hashtag, writes a blogger for the Washington Post. Israel is winning the follower count battle, says BuzzFeed.
But there are also, of course, voices in the middle.
Andy Carvin, a senior strategist at NPR, has been aggregating and retweeting people in both Israel and Gaza.
Those posts, and others from journalists on the ground tend to show a grittier reality of the violence in the Middle East:
I am in a house in #Gaza City, with a five-year-old, a pregnant woman, her husband, brother. Last five incoming booms shook the room.— Sara Hussein (@sarahussein) November 16, 2012

Toyota Landcruiser? A Disco (oh wait you want reliable)? A jeep.I know...A SCOUT!
Landcruiser would be my vote then!
Mitsu Montero or Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Honda Element
haha, a Disco, I am really tired.
You were fixing up an older rover right? or is that someone else I'm thinking of...
Sounds cool. I'd be interested in checking it out sometime. I miss having a 4x4 and might get one in the spring. I was looking at them when I got the Saab, decided for the small amount of off-roading I do I could rent something a few times a year and the rest of the time I'd be better off with a hatchback. After a year and never once renting a 4x4 I might have learned something. Unless I can just jump in it and go, I never get around to it.I might put the purchase off for another year and try renting a couple times this spring/summer but I want to start thinking about what I might get. I used to have an XJ Cherokee that was pretty good. Great on the road and pretty good off-road too with part and full time 4wd, rear limited-slip, decent clearance. Good AC, decent stereo. I like the size of the XJ also. Good luck with the new ride!-Joel.

Lady Gaga Is 'Really Delusional' About Her Success
Lady Gaga poses next to a motorcycle at a press conference on Friday (May 6) at the St. Regis Hotel in Mexico City, Mexico.
The 25-year-old singer, wearing a long blue Thierry Mugler sheer dress and super-high black platform shoes, promoted her new album, Born This Way.
Earlier this week, Gaga performed "You and I" on The Oprah Winfrey Show and also debuted her "Judas" video!
"In a lot of ways I'm really delusional about my success, and sometimes I feel like an underdog in so many ways," she recently told E! Online. "My biggest fear is that I'll die before I get all my ideas out. I have nightmares about it. I have recurring nightmares where I'm late, I'm late to turn something in."

After shopping in Malioboro, visiting the Sultan's palace in Yogyakarta or exploring the magnificent Borobudur temple, it's time for some tubing fun! Join this rough and winding journey down the Elo River in Magelang, in the province of Central Java, for an exhilarating experience, and an exciting story to share upon your return home.
For those that love the wet and wild adventures, take a shot at this latest method of careening down a raging river. Tubing is somewhat similar to rafting, but atop a large rubber inner tube instead of an inflatable raft. Unlike the typical raft which seats about 6 passengers, tubing is for those who prefer to take on the river alone.
Despite the daunting image of speeding down the river rapids while seated in a truck's tire, tubing is perfectly safe and comfortable. If you don't yet know how to swim, that's no problem at all. Like any other adventure sport, tubing does have its own risks, but all efforts have been taken to minimize those risks. Patrons of the Magelang Tubing will be supplied with the standard equipment of life-jackets, helmets and gaiters – all of which you will be required to use. Experienced river guides will provide guidance before you set off, so be sure to listen carefully and follow the given instructions. A guide will also be present on the river. Guides have all been well trained to provide the maximum safety during rafting or tubing and are all quite familiar with its bends and swells. Along both sides of the river, you can also appreciate the stretches of rice fields and coffee plantations.
Elo River is quite challenging, yet safe, and takes about 2.5 – 3 hours to complete. The course has been graded between Grade II and III, meaning that it is safe enough for beginners.
Most tubing and rafting operators provide a place of rest after the trip. Here you can have a taste of traditional snacks, and quench your thirst with cool coconut water. To conclude your journey, take a look at the candid shots snapped throughout your trip. These are available for purchase, for an unforgettable piece of Elo River that you can take home and treasure always.
Elo River in the Magelang District is the usual location for tubing. The start of the river is not far from Borobudur, and approximately 30 minutes from the city of Yogyakarta.
As Magelang is just an hour's drive from Yogyakarta, many visitors choose to stay there, where there are a wide variety of hotels, from a simple bed & breakfast to starred hotels.
For those who prefer to stay in Magelang city itself, there are several other accommodation options.
The super de-luxe Amanjiwo Resort is set amidst the scenic Menoreh Hills overlooking the Borobudur temple, with no less than 4 volcanoes rising into the horizon. It offers 36 limestone suites featuring high ceilings, domed roofs, and sliding glass doors opening to a garden terrace. Interiors are made of coconut wood and rattan, following the traditional Javanese style. The hotels facilities include a large library, a boutique offering a range of intricate Javanese clothing and textiles, an art gallery, swimming pool, tennis court and fitness center. Amanjiwo also offers trips to ceremonies, temples and antique shops, and private dawn and sunset visits to Borobudur and other archaeological monuments in the city.
The Mesa Stilla, previously known as Losari Spa Retreat and Coffee Plantation, offers an escape from the demanding daily grind through the calming and powerful environment in which it sits – encircled by 8 magnificent volcanoes and set within 55 acres of gardens, plantations and jungle. Mesastilla offers 22 individually decorated villas, ranging from 80 to 135 square meters. Each room has been constructed in the original Javanese antique style, and is fully equipped with modern facilities, a large living area, outdoor veranda and breathtaking views overlooking the plantations and mountains. The resort also offers a variety of wellness programs and activities including healthy eating, focused exercise, planned relaxation, stress management and cultural and educational programs.
Aside from the above mentioned rafting and tubing, there are a slew of other things to see and do while in Magelang.
Go on a tour of Borobudur Temple, the largest Buddhist monument in the world, and single most visited spot in Indonesia. This huge temple is a blend of spectacular architecture, ancient art and traditional culture. To experience Borobudur in its full splendor, it is best visited at dawn or sunset. It is also best to avoid weekends, as it well be extremely crowded.
The Mahakarya Borobudur is a spectacular traditional dance performed by 200 dancers in vividly colored Javanese costumes. The dance displays a variety of graceful and dynamic motions, performed to the backdrop of the stunning Borobudur Temple.
Candi Mendut is yet another Buddhist temple, just a few kilometers east of Borobudur. Mendut, Borobodur and Pawon are three Buddhist temples positioned in a straight row, though their relationship to each other remains unknown. Mendut is the oldest of the three temples, dating back to the early 9th century, during the Sailendra dynasty.
Adisucipto International Airport in Yogyakarta is the closest Airport to Magelang City. It has available international flights from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur on Air Asia, and domestic flights from Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Medan, Makassar, Balik Papan, Banjarmasin, Denpasar, Pontianak and Batam.
Alternatively, you can also reach Magelang from Semarang, capital city of the province of Central Java, on the north coast of Java. Magelang is situated on the road between Semarang and Yogyakarta.
Elo River begins in Magelang city, just a one hour drive from Yogyakarta or Semarang. It is easily reachable by joining a package tour or renting a car.
