Football Fields and Poker Tables at Guantanamo
Kianoosh Sanjari, the latest Iranian activist to magically end up in the studios of the US State owned Voice of America, actually asserted in his April 28 interview with Bijan Farhoudi that inmates at Guantanamo Bay have themselves a merry old time.
Sanjari claims that his prison cell mate was a former Guantanamo detainee who entered Iran with someone from the ICRC and then ended up in Evin Prison (yes, I know, the story makes a whole lot of sense already). While incarcerated together, the former Guantanamo detainee told Sanjari about what fun he had playing cards with his female warden (perhaps the female guard needed a break from smearing menstrual blood on the faces of detainees), participating in outdoor football games(I guess its all that fresh air and exercise that caused detainees like Salim Ahmed Hamdan to lose their sanity), and enjoying access to his lawyers and the greater outside world (never mind what you heard about US government efforts to limit lawyers access to detainees and denying them access to files they need to actually defend their clients)
If you want to hear Sanjari tell this moving story of the former detainee who was waxing nostalgic for his time at Guantanamo, click here, start listening at 51:41, when a polite guy from Tabriz calls in to raise the issue of US secret prisons and is promptly cut off.
Having newly arrived to DC just a few weeks ago, it is not clear if Mr. Sanjari will become the newest "fellow" at the American Enterprise Institute, the National Endowment for Democracy, Freedom House, or whether he will continue providing services at the US state owned Voice of America.
Either way, expect more assertions along the lines of Guantanamo-is-heaven and Iran-is-hell.

NYU dominates No. 4 Emory
Violets' Tana scores 15 points and plays ironclad defense
NEW YORK -- New York University picked up its first University Athletic Association win of the season in dominating fashion, defeating No. 4 Emory 89-73 on Friday.
The Eagles (12-1, 1-1) entered the game as one of only seven remaining unbeaten teams, but the Violets (11-1, 1-1) handed them their first loss with outstanding performance at both ends of the floor. Five Violets scored in double figures, led by Carl Yaffe's 24, as the team converted a season-high 28 free throws.
Defensively, NYU held Emory to just 8-27 (29 percent) shooting from beyond the arc and 26-70 (37 percent) from the field.
|No. 1 Middlebury 72, Conn.-College 56
|NYU 89, No. 4 Emory 73
|No. 5 Amherst 85, Hamilton 68
|Wesleyan 66, No. 12 Williams 43
|No. 19 Birmingham-SW 81, Southwestern 62
|Brockport St. 94, No. 21 Buffalo St. 70
|No. 22 Oswego St. 84, New Paltz 62
|Complete Scoreboard
Ryan Tana had a breakout game on offense and defense for the Violets. He scored a career-high 15 points on 5-8 shooting and dished out five assists with just one turnover. On defense, Tana had a career-high four steals and helped hold All-American Austin Claunch to just 5-19 from the field with seven turnovers.
Andy Stein and Ben Dorman scored most of the early baskets, combining for 15 of NYU's first 22 points to help the team take a 22-12 lead midway through the first half. After Emory pulled to within seven, the Violets went on a 12-2 run.
The Eagles responded with a run of their own to end the half, closing the period on a 13-3 spurt to enter the locker room trailing by just seven, 41-34.
A slew of buckets from Yaffe helped the Violets pull back ahead and take a 73-53 lead with 7:18 to play in the game. Emory got as close as nine with 3:31 left, but NYU held off the comeback as Tana drew two charges and took a steal coast-to-coast for an easy layup to help seal the victory.
Joining Yaffe and Tana in double figures were Stein (14 points), Kyle Stockmal (14 points) and Dorman (10 points). Stockmal also had six rebounds and four assists, while Stein had six boards and three assists. Devin Karch contributed to the defensive effort with three blocks.
Jake Davis led the Eagles with 24 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out with 5:33 to play. Michael Friedberg had 17 points, six boards and three blocks, while Alex Greven had 10 points and six rebounds.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment, or coat them with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
Beat the eggs and yolks with the sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the tahini, oil and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture until combined to make a soft dough. Cover the dough and set aside for 5 minutes before forming into rings.
Pinch off a walnut-sized piece of dough and roll it into a rope that is about 5 inches long and 3/8-inch thick. (Dust your hands and the parchment lightly with flour if the dough is sticky.) Pinch the ends of the rope together to form a ring. Repeat until all the dough has been formed into rings.
To glaze the cookies: Put the sesame seeds on a small plate. Whisk the egg white and honey together, and then brush each ring with the mixture. Then immediately dip the ring into the sesame seeds. Place the rings seeds side up, on the prepared baking sheet at least 1 inch apart.
Bake rings until lightly browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer from baking sheet and cool on wire racks. Serve.
These cookies keep for a couple weeks stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They can also be double-wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen for up to a month.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops II To Feature Zombies Campaign?
With so much information about upcoming shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops II coming out its flowing out of our ears and info on the zombies mode suspiciously absent. With no reveal date for the mode set in stone, zombies fans will take any iota of information they can to calm their impatience. Well they are in luck, with online retailer Amazon suggesting that the zombies mode will feature a campaign option, excited yet?
According to the Black Ops II product description on the Amazon page (which has now been removed), gamers have the option to take the undead on in a completely different way than before, the description read, "The inclusion of a Zombies in gameplay, both in as an option in multiplayer, and as a campaign option." It will no doubt bring a more intriguing experience and one a lot different from the usual four-person multiplayer we are so used to seeing.
Zombies has become popular among the Call of Duty community and it shows, with a mobile game released and how reluctant developer Treyarch is to share anything on the mode must mean they have something special in store. The zombies campaign could be just that and something gamers wouldn't mind spending their hard-earned money on I'm guessing.
Would you welcome a Black Ops II zombies campaign? Let us know in the section below or jump on over to our Facebook page and drop a comment there.

When Your Child Is the Travel Agent
As the guest Getaway columnist, I write about when children (like my nephew Leo) take over family trip-planning. (Disaster does not ensue.)
As the guest Getaway columnist, I write about when children (like my nephew Leo) take over family trip-planning. (Disaster does not ensue.)
Why travelers are generally so terrible about assessing risk when they travel. Or, why non-pregnant Olympics fans who fear zika more than dengue have already been infected – by the media.
It's a banner day for me – my first "artwork" published in The New York Times (or, really, anywhere but the now-defunct 1970s-era refrigerator at 25 Ridge Road, Newton, Massachusetts).
In a recent column, the Frugal Traveler outlined seven steps for finding good deals on hotels. Here's a sample of reader reaction, from the creative to the critical.
I was on CBS This Morning with…Charlie Rose and Jane Pauley??? That's totally cool. Talked about finding cheaper hotel rooms.
Confused about how to find a good deal on a place to stay? The Frugal Traveler put together this guide to help you land the right room at the right price.
What's the cheapest day to book? To depart and return? A company called Hopper offers insight.
Programs like Global Entry, T.S.A. PreCheck and CLEAR can save you time at the airport — for a cost. The Frugal Traveler looks at whether paying that price truly pays off.
From putting a hold on a low-cost airfare to using social media wisely, the Frugal Traveler offers guidance gleaned from a recent travel conference.
The Frugal Traveler runs fare searches for three upcoming break periods to tease out clues about when, and where, to fly for less.

The Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS) program is a US Department of Education TRiO Grant Initiative targeting low-income high school students. UBMS is designed to strengthen the math and science skills of participating students in Taos Municipal Schools. The goal of the program is to encourage students to recognize and develop their potential to pursue post-secondary degrees in STEM (Science Technology Engineering or Mathematics).
UBMS works with 60 (9th and 10th grade) eligible students who are low income as defined by Federal guidelines and/or potential first-generation college students where neither parent has earned a Bachelor's degree. Upward Bound Math and Science programs are to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in graduate from institutions of postsecondary education.
Program services are FREE to participants and are designed to support the academic program at the participating high schools. Participants receive a stipend each semester and summer for satisfactory participation. Since participants invest more time with academics than most students, the stipend is an important incentive.

Relationship charts and stills galore for Shut Up: Flower Boy Band
Tons of new stills for Shut Up: Flower Boy Band! But what interests me more than the pretty, pretty pictures are the character and premise descriptions that come therewith. Now we finally get some idea of what the actual story's gonna be, and whether this underdog story will tickle our drama fancies. A scrappy ragtag band of rocker boys, up against their polished, perfect, "princely" rivals? I think my fancy's been tickled. It's like Jem and the Holograms, only now we're rooting for the Misfits. Or, speaking of misfits, it'll be the rock cousin to the show premiering on the same day, Dream High 2, which'll give us the idol version. (Ack! Drama overload ahead.) Read more on Dramabeans.

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) aim to support the career development and training of researchers – with a focus on innovation skills – in all scientific disciplines through international and intersectoral mobility.
Ana and Giacomo, who were early stage researchers on SUP&R ITN project, will finish their MSCA Phd this year at The University of Nottingham. They shared with us how this experience affected their both professional and personal life.
Giacomo D'Angelo is from Italy. He studied Civil engineering at The University of Palermo and got his second level master at The University of Rome, "La Sapienza".
Ana Jiménez del Barco is from Spain, Granada, where she studied Civil Engineering and finished a Master in Structures. As she enjoyed university and research, she decided to pursue an academic career. PhD was the first step, and there is no better way to do it than with a Marie Curie Fellowship. She applied for the Marie Curie Programme SUP&R ITN in 2014 and moved to the UK to carry out her research at The University of Nottingham, in the Nottingham Engineering Transportation Centre, where she has spent the last three years.
Can you tell us something more about your project?
Giacomo: My project is entitled: "Optimisation of trackbed design and maintenance". I am developing a new technology, namely Bituminous Stabilised Ballast, to make ballasted track more sustainable.
Ana: The research in SUP&R ITN is focused on the development and assessment of sustainable pavements and railways. In particular, I study the use of alternative materials in roads. Commonly, a pavement is made of bitumen (from petroleum) and aggregates. However, to move towards a non-petroleum society, I am studying the replacement of bitumen with bio-renewable and recycled materials.
What are the main advantages of MSCA ETN PhD?
Giacomo: A MSCA PhD gave me the opportunity to develop a project within an international network. I met experts in the field during different conferences and trainings which helped me to spread my work and have different point of view. The funding is very important in this regard, being able to travel and having all the material and equipment necessary to develop my PhD.
Ana: MSCA ETNs are focused on the training of the fellows, and improving their scientific and soft skills by attending training weeks which are specifically organized for them around the world. In this regard, undertaking a PhD in a MSCA ETN gives you the best possible education in your field.
In addition, the MSCA ETNs provide the fellow with the support of a multi-sector (academia and industry) network that no other PhD could have. During the three-year fellowship you are in touch with experts in your topic willing to help you with your development. For instance, every fellow has to do a secondment, taking advantage of the different expertise or research facilities within the institutions involved. I am undertaking my PhD in The University of Nottingham and had the opportunity to spend three months in Ifsttar in Nantes (France), which is one the biggest research centres for pavements in the world.
Finally, ETN are also focused on sharing the research with the non-scientific community. In my case, I participated in different Open Days in the university, explaining my work to children and teenagers. This experience enriches your view as a researcher and provides the perspective of delivering it to the society.
What were the biggest challenges?
Giacomo: The biggest challenge was to keep on track with the PhD while traveling around for conferences and training weeks.
Ana: Achieving a PhD is a challenge itself, but doing it while participating in a MSCA ETN is even more. MSCA ETN provides you with the best means to promote yourself by attending training weeks, conferences, writing blogs, etc. but because of this, you have be able to efficiently manage your time. A summary of what we have done in SUP&R ITN (apart from the PhD) is:
- 8 countries
- 15 cities
- +50 flights
- ~45.000 km
- 350h of courses and trainings
How MSCA ETN influenced your professional development and your career?
Giacomo: After I finish my PhD I hope to be in a good position to find a job. Knowing people from industry and academia helped me decide which path to take in the future.
Ana: MSCA ETN has given me the chance to grow as a researcher and widen my professional objectives. At the moment, I am about to finish my PhD with several publications in international conferences and journals. Next, I will stay in The University of Nottingham as a PostDoc and project manager thanks to the different activities I have undertaken during these three years which allow me developing all my skills and potential.
Why would you recommend MSCA ETN fellowships?
Giacomo: It is a great opportunity to start a professional career. You have a lot of contacts that can help in the future and during the project you get to travel a lot. Salary is also good.
Ana: Professionally, the MSCA ETN fellowships are the best way to carry out a PhD due to the training and network that they offer. They allow you growing as a person establishing professional and personal relationships that will last forever.
If you are looking for unique experience and chance to take your career one step further, while being able to travel and build your professional contacts, then MSCA ETN is the right choice. Show that you are SMARTI enough and apply until May 31.

For the same reasons he removes the eyes of his victims ... because they look at him in that mocking way, making him feel like a dirty little boy inside ... and then he feels that itching, burning sensation behind his eyes, before it all goes black ... next thing he knows, he washes blood off his hands ...

Any type of ads=phail.
Adblock that shit. In the meanwhile, spend more time here, we don't sell out.
Lol its funny when that happens. I remember along time ago my sister was trying to go to nick.com and they either hacked it, or there was just a porn ad that keep on coming up. It was hilarious!
I was like 5 years old when this happened so I don't really remember it very much.
That's another reason why Maxconsole rox!

But don't GBATemp's "recommended sites" sponsor flashcarts so that tempers can have fun events?
I doubt that maxconsole's ad site supplies boobs to give out to members.

Marketing: You will be given guidance and support to build your acting CV and market yourself to industry, as well as an opportunity to have your headshots done by a professional photographer. This is one of the most crucial and overlooked elements of many acting courses, but as our graduates who go on to secure representation and bookings as a result of the course will testify, a professional approach to marketing yourself as an actor is absolutely critical to success.
The toughest part of being an actor is the time in between jobs. To keep your spirits high, your goals focused and your skills sharp, you need to keep training. Our tutors are excellent. They set a high standard and cram a lot of work into a three hour class. Whether relatively new to the business or boosting your existing skills, with dedication and enthusiasm you'll benefit greatly from the courses on offer: new contacts, new ideas and renewed vigour for this challenging and exciting profession!Jon Sidgwick, London Actors Workshop Course Director and Professional Actor

Despite a transatlantic accent which led many to believe he was Canadian, he was born in Cairo, Egypt, the son of the finance minister in the colonial government. He grew up at Haslemere in Surrey and went to Charterhouse School.
He attended the Embassy School of Acting in London and appeared in rep. On the outbreak of war in 1939, he joined the Royal Air Force, serving in Bomber Command as a radio operator and front gunner. He acquired his accent mixing with Canadian airmen.
Sports commentator[edit]
After the end of the war he returned to acting before commentating on tennis and football. He made his television wrestling commentary debut on the ITV network in November 1955, a job he kept for 33 years. At its peak in the 1970s, ITV's wrestling coverage, on World of Sport, could command up to 12 million between the football half-time and full-time results (4–4.40pm) on Saturdays. Although fans of ITV's wrestling coverage reportedly included the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Queen Mother and Margaret Thatcher, enthusiasm was not shared by ITV's Head of Sport, Greg Dyke, and in 1988 he dropped the sport, a blow from which it never recovered.
Kent Walton was a disc jockey on Radio Luxembourg, and for a time presented two music TV shows, Honey Hit Parade and Cool for Cats. In the early sixties, he acted as a judge on Thank Your Lucky Stars on ITV.
In the early 1970s he was involved with British sexploitation movies and is credited as a producer of such films as Clinic Exclusive, aka Clinic Xclusive, aka With These Hands (1971) (as "Elton Hawke"). He used other pseudonyms to keep this part of his life from his fans, but it was revealed in a 1975 episode of the TV documentary series Man Alive.
Personal life[edit]
Walton married Lynn Smith, the ex-wife of Leslie Grade in 1949, and they had a son.

About this font family
The name Corpid derives from "Corporate Identity" - which is what this family of low-contrast sans-serifs was made for. Corpid was originally commissioned by Studio Dumbar in the Netherlands as a corporate typeface for the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management and Fishing. The font was designed to replace the existing standard typeface (a well-known business-like sans-serif) to provide the organization with a unique and strong identity. More…
Although it was designed to fit strict technical requirements, Corpid has a personality all of its own. This was in part a result of what Luc(as) calls "creating tension" between the inner and outer curves of each character. "I tend to put a little more diagonal contrast into fonts than is the case in most neutral sans serif fonts. This brings a certain humanistic touch to the typeface. Much more subtle here than in Thesis - but although it is almost invisible, it is still palpable."
Corpid was gradually expanded into a five-weight, three-width family. The new Corpid SemiCondensed has double functionality. It is a no-frills, compact headline font that offers optimum legibility in sizes from small to huge. It is also a great space-saving text typeface for magazines, newsletters or annual reports: economic, versatile, and provided with several different numeral sets. In this OpenType type version, all weights come with Small Caps. With its wealth of numeral styles and complete character sets (including Central European) the Corpid family is now well equipped to tackle the most complex of typographic tasks.
