text: Female forms, ceramic pots, animals, geometric and biomorphic shapes—these are all recurring elements in Richard Colman's vividly colorful canvases. He vacillates freely between figuration and abstraction, at times focusing on pattern to such a degree that it overwhelms any recognizable components in his painting; other times he privileges figures and narratives. Also producing sculpture and installation works, Colman incorporates a variety of media, including pencils, paper, wood, porcelain, plaster, glue, nails, and tape—typically using vibrant colors. "Color is not something I am very comfortable with, I am not a natural colorist," the artist has said. "For me, it takes a lot of work to figure that stuff out so part of it for me is just the challenge, but I also like the idea of making thematically dark paintings using very bright colors."

A mural of Egypts President Mohamed Mursi on the wall of the presidential palace in Cairo Reuters
Call to all Egyptians:
Egypt's December 15 Constitution Referendum
Call to the International Community:
Egypt's new regime
Voice of the Copts appeals to all Egyptian freedom fighters fearlessly and heroically standing up against the Morsi regime:
We support you as you continue to stand up and exercise enormous courage once again as when recently you opposed the dictatorial constitutional amendment of November 22 made by Mr. Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood party. Your bold action obligated Mr. Morsi to withdraw the power grab he executed in defiance of democratic principles. Now he has backed down and responded to your demands thanks to your brave persistence
All Egyptians must now likewise oppose Mr. Morsi's new constitution draft by boycotting the December 15 referendum. The new draft promotes anti-democratic Islamic principles of intolerance. With a boycott, Egyptians can avoid another corrupt election and reject the avenue paved by Mr. Morsi toward Islamic Shariah law.
A select group chosen from the Muslim Brotherhood membership seeking Islamic supremacy has written Egypt's new draft constitution with the future goal of creating an Islamic Umma. Expunge this draft now!
Voice of the Copts appeals to the international community:
Voice of the Copts appeals to leaders of the free world and human rights activists to stand with Egyptian freedom fighters and against any attempt by the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood to build a center of Islamic power and jihadist terrorism.
We demand that world leaders withdraw their recognition of Egypt's phony "pro-democracy" leader, Mr. Morsi, who is backed by the illegal Muslim Brotherhood party. Freeze your political relationships with Egypt, halt all investments and aid to Egypt and force Mr. Morsi's regime to step down. This will facilitate legitimate democratic goals yet to be achieved by Egypt's freedom fighters.
Dr. Ashraf Ramelah
Founder and President
Voice of the Copts Coop.

Core Proficiency Examination Process
Students can satisfy a General Education Core requirement by passing a Core Area Proficiency Examination where appropriate and available. Each exam is specific to a single core area and is administered for a fee in the Course Testing Center. Core Proficiency Examinations may only be taken once to satisfy the core area.
General Education Core Areas and Proficiency Examinations
Intermediate Algebra (MATH 112) examination is available. Click Here or contact the Math Department for information.
General Chemistry (CHEM 151/161) examination is available - Contact the Science Department for information.
The student is required to check with the department offering the examination prior to paying the required fee, for information pertaining to the proficiency examination, and available study materials.
Each department offering a Core Area Proficiency Examination will provide students with information about available study materials, e.g., textbooks, study guides, etc. Students are advised to review all suggested materials prior to completing the examination.
The format (essay, objective, portfolio, etc.) of the core proficiency examination will be determined by the department offering the examination.
The student is required to pay a $50, nonrefundable fee at the Student Finance Office.
Upon receipt of documentation indicating the fee has been paid, the proficiency examination will be administered in the Course Testing Center.
Testing Services staff will proctor the examination, and inform the department when the examination has been completed. The department will score the examination and notify the student of the examination results.
The department offering the examination will notify the student of their result and enter it on their student record (Banner, SOATEST).
The Core proficiency examination must be passed at a 2.0 (71%) level or higher.
The examination answer sheets will not be returned to students or reviewed by them.
Because the examination score/s will not appear on the student's transcript, but will be recorded in the student record system, students who successfully complete a core proficiency examination will be required to notify the Enrollment Services/Registrar's Office at the time they submit an application for diploma. The successful completion will be noted when the student's records are audited.

Introduction by Dana Stabenow:
Scott Gere has been my webmaster from my first website. Along the way, we've talked a lot about the publishing business, as I watched and mourned my backlist going slowly and inexorably out of print.
Inevitably, e-books showed up in our brainstorming sessions - and last year he said, "Let's just do it."
We had no idea if we would make any money. I was petrified that his company would be out-of-pocket on expenses and not only would my e-books go away, but he'd fire me as his website client, too.
Everything of course took a lot longer than we thought it would, but Fire and Ice, my first Liam Campbell novel, went up last year three days before Christmas. Since then, we've been averaging about a book a month. When we're a little farther into this process, I'll be blogging about it with real numbers, but for now let me just say that the results have exceeded everyone's expectations, and that no one is out-of-pocket.
Gere Donovan Press (GDP) is scanning, formatting and proofing the books, giving them terrific covers and minding the store (specifically putting the books up on iTunes, Amazon and Barnes & Noble and collecting and dispersing the income). Now they've come up with a nifty way for me to sell books through my website, which is currently active on stabenow.com (http://www.stabenow.com/e-books).
Scott wrote about our project on the GDP website, and SinC reblogs his post here for you today:
[From press.geredonovan.com]:
You may have recently encountered a wee web application that we've been working on. Indeed, the odds are good that its footer provided the link that brought you here.
Who is Bridgit, you ask, and what does she have to do with your eBook purchase?Bridgit is a lightweight eBookstore cart solution, currently under development by Gere Donovan Press. Named in part for St. Brigid of Kildare, patron saint of printing presses (who was herself named for the Celtic goddess of Wisdom), Bridgit will enable small publishing houses, self-published authors and others to easily accept credit card payments in exchange for time-limited, DRM-free eBook downloads. It allows you to cut out the middle man, and bridges the gap (ouch). [Note: DRM, or digital rights management, is referred to by some as digital restrictions management.]
Bridgit assumes that the parent site provides all of the product information. Place an add-to-cart button on the book's page, targeting your Bridgit instance, and we handle the rest. Bridgit processes the financial details of the transaction, generates download links that are unique to the customer and emails them a receipt. Books are provided in both .mobi and .ePub formats, via links which are valid for 24 hours.
In that no DRM has proven to be proof against piracy, while virtually all DRM has been shown to annoy honest people who just want to move their files from one device to another, Bridgit's downloads are DRM-free. As devices and file types evolve, Bridgit may expand her horizons a bit… we'll see what the market wants.
To experience Bridgit for yourself, [take a look at] one of the fine GDP eBooks from Stabenow.com. If you're interested in discussing how Bridgit could be used to handle your own eBook transactions, or want to tell us what you think Bridgit should do, please drop us a line at email@example.com.
Dana Stabenow is the award-winning author of the 18-book Kate Shugak mystery series, the four-book Liam Campbell mystery series and the three-book Star Svensdotter science fiction series. The most recent title in the Kate Shugak series is Though Not Dead, a mystery set in contemporary Alaska that includes more than a passing mention of Dashiell Hammett's Army days in the Aleutian Islands during World War II.

After the Mill River flood, the stories of Cheney and Graves racing downstream ahead of the floodwave to warn the valley captured the nation's attention. Their tales were repeated in newspapers, magazines, and in a small book. In a civic ceremony held in Northampton, Cheney and Graves (and two others) were honored with music, speeches, and gold medals engraved with images of them racing down the valley. Poems praised them as heroes for the ages, in a league with Paul Revere and Civil War hero General Philip Henry Sheridan. When the Williamsburg reservoir dam broke on May 16, 1874, it flooded a valley lined with factories and farms and killed 139, making it the deadliest dam failure in the U.S. at the time.

Older News » Your child's resilienceLast updated 10:55 AM on 15 September 2011
Next time your child is furrowing their brow and staring off into space, ask them whether they're thinking dolphin or shark thoughts. That's the advice from resilience specialist Andrew Fuller on helping your child to recognise the positive or negative approaches they may be taking on life issues.
"Dolphin thinking can help you out and shark thinking can eat you up. It doesn't matter how old your kids are, they can still understand it," Andrew says.
"The things that are most important are teaching children what a good life is, how to live life well, how to extract pleasure out of things and how to turn things around when they're tough," he says.
Top tips on building resilience:
- Teach your child to experience success by supporting them in something they like doing whether it's a sporting, academic or artistic endeavour.
- Help them develop skills to be successful at school, such as good concentration and memory by playing card games and puzzles.
- Play games with your child by predicting what sort of day a person walking down the street may have had. Being able to read people's emotions is powerfully predictive of how well children can get on with people at school.
- Be aware of the 'yuk and yum' factor - some things will make your child feel good and other things will make them feel bad. The idea is for them to gather things around them that cheer them up if they've had a bad day.
- Keep things in perspective - explain to a grumpy child their circumstances are not the worst possible, and that others have been through similar situations. Walk beside them as they handle the situation. This helps them to build hope and the belief they can handle problems when they come up.
Skills in resilience are promoted in NSW Public Schools because through them children fare well in life. Research shows children with good resilience perform better at school and are less susceptible to risky behaviour, particularly as they enter the teenage years.
The education department's principal psychologist, Ron Balderston, describes resilience as a shock absorber for the potholes of life.
"Resilient children know how to cope and have developed skills that enable them to flex so they can manage life's blows when they happen without them getting too down, stuck on ways that aren't helping or giving up," Ron says.

UPDATE: Baby Found In Laundry Service Linens Was Mishandled Stillborn
RED WING (AP) -A Minnesota hospital is apologizing for mishandling a stillborn baby who was discovered at a laundry service.
Regions Hospital in St. Paul says the body found in a sheet at a laundry service in Red Wing on Tuesday was that of a 22-week-old stillborn. The hospital says the remains had been wrapped in linens in its morgue and were mistaken for laundry that was to be sent out for cleaning.
The hospital calls it a "terrible mistake" and is extending "deep apologies" to the family. It also is offering counseling to employees of the linen service.
Chief nursing officer Chris Boese says the hospital has procedures that should've prevented the mistake and is working to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Red Wing is about 45 miles southeast of St. Paul.

Deflation Of Metrodome Scheduled For Saturday
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minneapolis skyline could begin to change this weekend.
Power inside the Minnesota Vikings' Metrodome is scheduled to be cut Saturday and the giant white top that's been part of the skyline for more than 32 years will begin deflating.
Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority chairwoman Michele Kelm-Helgen says if the wind is too strong Saturday, the deflation will be delayed.
Many Minnesotans have fond memories of the Metrodome. Others can't wait to see it torn down.
Bill Lester is somewhere in between. He took one last tour of the stadium he ran for 25 years as director of the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission. Lester says he has some great memories of two World Series, a Super Bowl and a Final Four game. But, he says it's time to move on to the next generation of stadiums.

LANSING, Mich. – During a rally of 300 people here Monday afternoon, Rick Santorum said gas prices caused the 2008 recession and he suggested President Barack Obama is intentionally causing unemployment.
"The bubble burst in housing because people couldn't pay their mortgages because we're looking at $4-a-gallon gasoline," Santorum said. "And look at what happened – economic decline."
After the event, the former Pennsylvania senator hedged his comments a bit. "I think they're a contributing factor," he said, shaking hands with voters. "Obviously there are a lot of factors that go into it but I think that was one of them."
Santorum and former Gov. Mitt Romney have stumped across the Wolverine State trying to convince voters that they are the true conservative in the race. Now, one day before the Michigan primary, Santorum has shifted his tough talk to President Barack Obama.
"Look at any map or chart of standard of living in a country, and then look at the availability of cost of energy – the lower the energy cost, the higher the standard of living," Santorum said. "Now we are deliberately lowering our standard of living, deliberately causing unemployment. Why would a president do that?"
His answer Monday, as it has been at all his stops in the Rust Belt states, is that Obama is putting the environment ahead of people.
"He's a perfectly nice man," Santorum said of Obama. "He just has a very different view of America. And let's be honest, he is doing a pretty effective job of promoting that view and passing legislation and regulations that are consistent with his view of what America should be like."
Santorum also targeted Romney's record and called on the crowd for their support tomorrow.
"To be attacked on television as someone who is not an authentic conservative by a Massachusetts governor is a joke," Santorum said to laughter. "Michigan, you have the opportunity to stop the joke."

A lot has happened since the Royal Wedding in 2011. Queen Elizabeth celebrated her Diamond Jubilee. Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge welcomed Prince George (and Kate slipped right back into her skinnies). Prince Harry grew a scruffy beard and started dating Cressida Bonas. But — or should we say butt — there is still one moment from Will and Kate's fête that has not lost it's buzz: Pippa Middleton's derrière in her Alexander McQueen bridesmaid dress. Proof: Kate's baby sis is still talking about it!
Middleton made a speech Monday at a London event, and she couldn't help but quip about the royal moment that put her on the global map. "As I have found out, recognition has its upside, its downside and — you may say — its backside," she said, via the U.K. paper
The Mirror
, adding that she was "glad it fitted" at the time, but "in retrospect, it fitted a little too well."

Since the wedding, Middleton has been very busy pursuing her own career, even penned a book about party planning. Plus, she might be taking a trip down the aisle soon, reportedly getting serious with boyfriend Nico Jackson. But we're pretty sure we won't be seeing a reprise of that major bum moment on her big day. What do you think of Middleton's butt buzz? Are you surprised she's still talking about it?

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — For one Alaska city, it's not rain, sleet or snow that's affecting mail delivery. It's a broken postal sorting machine that has prompted officials to fly letters and packages more than 200 miles away to be separated and flown back for delivery.
That has left Ketchikan residents to complain about mail getting delivered up to five days late.
U.S. Postal Service spokesman Ernie Swanson said Ketchikan's sorting equipment gave out and it's not practical to replace it right now. He said the agency believes it can still provide customers with a good level of service under the current arrangement that calls for mail to be sorted in Juneau.
U.S. Sen. Mark Begich called on the agency to review its arrangement, saying it did not appear that whoever made the decision had adequate understanding of weather in southeast Alaska or took into account for the possibility of aircraft breakdowns.
The mail still provides an important lifeline between many Alaska communities not connected to the road system and the outside world, providing a way to receive letters, bills, medicine and other goods and supplies.
Juneau and Ketchikan, for example, are accessible only by air and water. Inclement weather could wreak havoc on flights and deliveries.
The decision — which Swanson called a permanent solution — has raised concerns among local officials, including Ketchikan Gateway Borough Manager Dan Bockhorst, who wrote to Begich that delays could be even longer in bad weather.
Bockhorst said the borough sends out more than 33,000 tax and utility bills each year and a number of residents have had to pay late fees because of "significant delays in postal processing."
While some people might try to use the mail situation as an excuse for not paying on time, Bockhorst said Tuesday that local officials have met with some residents and looked at their past payment histories.
He said the number of late payments has correlated with the change in mail handling "so we maintain it does have an impact."
Swanson said Ketchikan mail goes to Juneau on an evening flight and returns for delivery the following morning.
Bockhorst told Begich the change began a few months ago. Swanson could not immediately say when it started or what the cost might be, compared to replacing the equipment.

Professor Noftle received his B.A. degree in psychology from Grinnell College and his M.A. and Ph.D. in personality-social psychology from UC Davis. After a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship at Wake Forest University and a year as an Assistant Professor at Linfield College, he joined the faculty at Willamette in 2010. Dr. Noftle enjoys teaching courses in personality psychology and research methods, among others. Dr. Noftle's research interests include the following topics: personality variability, consistency, stability, and change; personality and character development; individual differences in attachment styles; functionalist approaches to discrete emotions and behavior; and assessment and psychometrics. In these research pursuits, Dr. Noftle seeks to answer the following questions: How do individuals differ psychologically from one another (and how can we know this), how consistent are those differences across situations and time, and what meaning do these differences have for people in their actual lives--for achievement, relationships, and happiness and well-being?
Dr. Noftle directs the Willamette University Personality Laboratory (or "WUP Lab"). He is currently seeking research assistants to join the lab who are responsible, careful, reliable, and excited about research. If you are interested in getting involved in his research program, please contact him via email.

Ok, I'm pretty mad right now. I just got back from Barnes & Noble. I was excited to go and see the new prominent position of The Manifesto, as it is now a bestseller in every sense of the word. Also, BN offers its members 40% off bestsellers (30% to everybody else) and I was going to get a few more copies.
However, it was still in the back corner of the sotre, bottom shelf, 3 copies. (there were 6 on April 30th an I bought two of them) I was under the apparenty mistaken impression that the BN Bestseller shelves featured prominently at the front of the store were for true bestsellers and I actually thought it was tied into the NYT list. NOT AT ALL.
A book can be #1 everywhere, INCLUDING at BN.com and they won't necessarily feature it on the bestseller shelf up front. There is not hard critera, either. Whatever IS selling or is projected to sell. READ: whichever publisher PAYS for the self space. It is FRAUD.
It should be the Barnes & Noble PICKS or FEATURES. They do not have to be ebstsellers to be up there and even if they are bestsellers they may not EVER make it up there.
The gaul of these people. Every book signing he does the store sells every copy they have in stock. Our meetup group placed a really nice 1/4 page ad in the paper today. We vote on the 20th, and RP will be here the 16th and 17th. We mentioned the book and the place on the NYT and Amazon lists. Ug, I'm so irritated.
If you feel like paying more, go buy it at the brick and mortar store. If you're smart, though, you'll buy it online for 1/2 the price and thereby give more credence to their argument that it isn't a bestseller IN the store.
We need to getour machiene out and start making calls and emails again. Fox news style.

The Youngs: The Brothers Who Built AC/DC Prize Winner:
L. Heinrich, Chatswood, NSW
The prize:
A laminated poster of THE YOUNGS signed by
– Author Jesse Fink
– AC/DC bass player Mark Evans (Let There Be Rock, TNT, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap)
– AC/DC drummer Tony Currenti (High Voltage, '74 Jailbreak, Bonfire, Backtracks)
The Youngs
by Jesse Fink
With sales of over 200 million albums, AC/DC is not just the biggest rock band in the world. It's a family business built by three brothers: George, Malcolm and Angus Young. And, as with any business, some people prospered while others got hurt along the way.
The Youngs: The Brothers Who Built AC/DC is unlike any AC/DC book you've read before. Less a biography, more a critical appreciation, it tells the story of the trio through 11 classic songs and reveals some of the personal and creative secrets that went into their making. Important figures from AC/DC's long way to the top open up for the very first time, while unsung heroes behind the band's success are given the credit they are due.
Accepted accounts of events are challenged while sensational new details emerge to cast a whole new light on the band's history – especially their early years with Atlantic Records in the United States. Former AC/DC members and musicians from bands such as Guns N' Roses, Dropkick Murphys, Airbourne and Rose Tattoo also give their perspectives on the Youngs' brand of magic.
Their music has never pulled its punches. Neither does The Youngs. After 40 years, AC/DC might just have got the serious book it deserves.
Grab a copy of The Youngs here
Congratulations to the winner!

Native American tribes were thriving on what is now Virginia's Eastern Shore for more than twenty centuries when Captain John Smith arrived in 1607. One of these tribes, led by Chief Barabokees and Emperor Waskawampe, had claimed as their own an island five miles off the Virginia coast, calling it Chincoteague, or "The Beautiful Land across the Water." The Assateague tribe gave their name to the barrier island just to the east of Chincoteague.
The Virginia and Maryland Indian tribes cherished Chincoteague, Assateague, and the other barrier islands for their rich stores of game and shellfish. They valued the shells of the whelk so much, in fact, that they used them to create strips of beadwork, referred to as "Roanoke." Roanoke was considered legal tender among the tribes, who traded for other goods.
Although Chincoteague Islanders no longer use shells to fund their daily lives, they cherish their "Beautiful Land across the Water" as much as the Native Americans did four centuries ago. The marshes, forests, and beaches of Chincoteague and Assateague fill the islanders' lives with year-long beauty, and provide a million annual visitors with glimpses of nature that have changed little since the islands' paths were followed by Indians stalking wild game.
Much of Chincoteague Island's timelessness has been preserved in the work of the Island's gifted artists' colony. Canvases depicting sunrise over wetland grasses stretching as far as the eye can see, or capturing a moment of perfect stillness before a great white egret sets down at Goose Pond recall scenes which would have greeted the Algonquins on their approach to the Beautiful Land across the Water. The lines of a perfectly carved Chincoteague swan decoy provide a lasting memory of these magnificent birds swimming along the Chincoteague marshes at twilight.
The fields, beaches, and wetlands of Chincoteague and Assateague have fed and sheltered countless millions of migratory birds traveling the Atlantic Flyway through the centuries. The waterfowl, as well as the Island's native deer population, were staples of the Native American diet. Bow hunters in limited numbers are still permitted to hunt deer on Assateague in order to control their population.
The island forests echo with the calls of nesting songbirds, like warblers, red-winged blackbirds, sparrows, and nut hatches. During the summer their songs are joined by those of cardinals, blue jays, and finches, while the staccato of woodpeckers keeps time.
The Native Americans relied not only on Chincoteague's game but on the bounty of her waters for their survival. That bounty still draws a steady stream of recreational fishers each year, arriving in the spring for the first of the flounder runs, and continuing through the summer to head for deeper water to go after sharks, tuna bluefish, and in late July, the greatest of all game fish, marlin.
Then there are the oysters, clams, and crabs. The first Europeans to arrive on Virginia's Eastern Shore in 1607 startled a group of Native Americans roasting a shellfish feast, and dined on the clams, crabs, and oysters when the Indians disappeared into the forest. By the 1800s The Beautiful Land across the Water had become one of America's premiere suppliers of clams and oysters.
Beautiful, bountiful, and bright with the promise of adventure, Chincoteague Island has something for everyone!

Santorum talks what it will take in 2016By JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
March 14. 2014 9:41PM
NASHUA — For Rick Santorum, the decision on whether to run again for President in 2016 is truly personal as well as political.
"People say that these are all political decision, but they're not," he said in an interview. "For me, they are absolutely not."
While he looks to the months after the mid-term elections in November to make a decision, "I'm doing everything consistent with keeping my options open to do this again."
"The first thing you need to do is find out whether there is anyone out there willing to help you," he said, but in 2016, he said, "It's a whole different story. It's wide open."
But he said that he has "always been underestimated" throughout his political career.
"I've always been comfortable laying below the radar."
Santorum returned to New Hampshire Friday as a featured speaker at the Northeast Republican Leadership Conference, hosted by the state Republican Party, in Nashua.
During hiss speech, he hit the blue-collar themes that marked his 2012 presidential run, when he won the Iowa caucus and then finished fourth in the New Hampshire primary. His emerged for a lengthy period during the campaign as the top challenger to nominee Mitt Romney.
He urged about 300 Republicans to follow their principles and urged GOP leaders to "stop nominating folks who apologize for what we are." He noted that President Barack Obama did not apologize or ignore the principles he believed in when he ran for President the first time.
The former Pennsylvania senator said that, in the meantime, he is involved in helping other Republicans who are running for office this year. He has made a television movie, "The Redemption of Henry Meyers" and has written a book to be on sale in early May called "Blue Collar Conservatives."
But he said, "I think our candidates have to get a little sharper in how they appeal to voters."
"The beautiful thing about Obamacare is that it provides a template for every group of voters that's out there," he said. "A lot of folks just don't want government help. These are working people and don't want a government benefit.
As a party, he said, "What we don't do enough of is what we are for. We are better talking about what we are for and should do that before we talk about what we are against."

We still have those, however 30AC in general is scarce... Wave 2 is non-existant, the lack of Wave 3 is not surprising... We're still waiting on the 30AC deluge of '07, and it's friggin' June.
Yesterday, I saw a lot of Gunner Hans and Ceremony Lukes at Target and there seemed to be quite a few Wave 3 Vaders but not too many. I wont call any of these three pegwarmers yet because this was the frst time I saw any of these figures! Mace Windu, though, is starting to seem like he'll be an annoyance in the future.
From wave two, I'm starting to see Luke, Han, Biggs, Rebel Honor Guard and DS Trooper hang around.

A tropical depression has formed off the coast of Belize and forecasters say it is expected to bring as much as five inches of rain to parts of Belize, Guatemala, northern Honduras and southern Mexico.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the Atlantic season's second tropical depression formed Monday and that the center will move over Belize and northern Guatemala overnight. The depression has maximum sustained winds of 30 mph (48 kph). Some weakening is expected after the depression moves over land, but it could strengthen by Wednesday if the center emerges in the Bay of Campeche. It was moving west-northwest at 9 mph (14 kph), and located about 40 miles (64 kilometers) northwest of Monkey River Town, Belize late Monday.
Forecasters say heavy rains could cause flash flooding, especially in mountainous areas, but no coastal watches or warnings were issued.

WILSON, N.C. – Sophomore Larry Felder scored a team high 13 points with six rebounds in Coker's 78-60 loss to the No. 23 Barton Bulldogs in Conference Carolinas men's basketball action on Tuesday (Jan. 8) night. The loss, the first for the Cobras since Dec. 5, drops them to 6-5 overall and 4-2 in league play.
The Cobras struggled to find any kind of offensive rhythm, but managed to stay within striking distance, trailing 37-31 at halftime. Unfortunately, the offensive woes continued in the second half for the Cobras as the Bulldogs came away with the win. As a team the Cobras shot 43.8 percent from long range, hitting seven 3-pointers. They also pulled down 33 rebounds.
Along with Felder's 13 points, Julian Nelson and Errick Bethel had 12 points each for the Cobras.
Coker will look to return to the win column again on Saturday (Jan. 12) at home against Limestone College. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. following the women's game at 2 p.m.

Obituaries—especially obituaries for the young, beautiful, and unexpectedly dead—are a hopeless genre to write. The deadline is, by definition, past, and you know you've already been scooped countless times. So rather than research a tribute to Heath Ledger by watching the ghoulish three-minute-long video of Ledger's body being wheeled out on a gurney, or clicking through photos of his 2-year-old daughter (just three months older than mine), I stayed up most of the night watching and re-watching a few of his movies. I wanted to understand, without resorting to gushy and imprecise phrases like "most promising actor of his generation," the particular quality he had that will be missing from movies now. There are plenty of promising actors in his generation, but there's no one who can do that Heath Ledger thing. What was it, exactly?
For one thing, there was the novelty of a guy that effortlessly good-looking—who in his or her right mind wouldn't want to get next to Heath Ledger?—gravitating to eccentric, even flamboyant, character roles. In Lords of Dogtown (2005), Ledger plays not one of the blond skate rats but Skip Engblom, the middle-aged and perpetually drunk surf-shop owner who coaches the skateboarding team to greatness. This scruffy, inspirational sports picture, a fictionalized remake of the skateboarding documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys, can barely contain Ledger's gonzo performance. He's fresh from Val Kilmer College, comically unhinged and unprecedentedly ugly. Late in the movie, after the Z-Boys skate their way to juicy endorsement deals and desert Skip one by one, he hurls surfboards off the roof of his store in a self-destructive rage, then sprawls on the roof's edge, guzzling from a bottle of whiskey while the crowd below gasps for fear he'll throw himself off. Hard to watch on the night he presumably died of an overdose? A little bit.
Then again, so was the sheerly goofy scene from the 1999 romantic comedy 10 Things I Hate About You, in which a 19-year-old Ledger belts out"Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" to Julia Stiles over the school PA system during soccer practice. This is Ledger in straight-up teen-heartthrob mode—throwing paintballs, going to the prom—but, once again, he doesn't quite fit in the movie. It's not that he's ill at ease in the role, quite the contrary. His graceful physicality and loose-limbed charm point up the artificiality of the whole proceedings and make the rest of the actors look stiffly conventional. Like Brando and James Dean—actors to whom he's no doubt now being compared, and whom he was clearly referencing as the tormented movie star in I'm Not There—Ledger was an actor whose sheer physical charisma seemed at times to jut out from the surface of his movies.
But then there's Brokeback Mountain, a movie in which Ledger belongs so completely that, in the end, the movie belongs to him.That's not to discount Jake Gyllenhaal's fine performance as the volatile, openly needy Jack Twist. But it's the recalcitrance of Ennis Del Mar, Ledger's more deeply closeted cowboy, that drives the story forward. Brokeback Mountain isn't just about the impossibility of two men loving each other; it's about the impossibility of anyone loving this particular man. Not only Jack Twist, but Ennis' wife (Michelle Williams, who fell in love with Ledger during the filming) and a dime-a-dance bar girl (Linda Cardellini) all hack away unsuccessfully at Ennis' shell. I remember, when Brokeback came out, two friends telling me separately that the flinty, secretly tender, intermittently rageful Ennis reminded them painfully of their own shut-down fathers. An impressive achievement for an actor who was 26 at the time.
I'm Not There, the 2006 addiction drama Candy,and the tantalizingly creepy trailer for this summer's The Dark Knight all suggest that Ledger was learning to choose roles that took advantage of that peculiar quality he had of seeming at once larger than life and inwardly focused. In the years to come, I'm sure there'll be movies that make audiences think, damn, Heath Ledger could have nailed that role. So I won't opine on how sad it is that a gifted young man, someone's father and someone's son, lost his life at the threshold of a great career. I'll just say that the movies themselves will miss Heath Ledger.

|This company has recently filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Blockbuster Inc. (PINK:BLOAQ) is an American chain of rental stores that offers movies, video games, and other forms media entertainment on a subscription basis. On September 23, 2010 Blockbuster declared bankruptcy, entering a recapitalization plan through which it hopes to reduce its debt from $1 billion to $100 million via a debt-for-equity exchange[1]. The company will continue to operate in the ordinary course of business but "debtors in possession"[2]. Blockbuster recorded revenues of $4.1 billion and net loss of $569 million in fiscal year 2009. In March 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York authorized Blockbuster to conduct an auction process for the Company. Blockbuster has entered into an asset purchase agreement with a "stalking horse" bidder, Cobalt Video Holdco, LLC, a limited liability company formed by funds managed by Monarch Alternative Capital LP, Owl Creek Asset Management LP, Stonehill Capital Management LLC and Värde Partners, Inc., each of which is a secured noteholder of the Company. [3] In April 2011, Dish Network won a bid to buy Blockbuster for $320.6 million.
Headquarted in Dallas, Texas, Blockbuster has traditionally been a brick-and-mortar business model, it has expanded into out-of-home DVD rental kiosks as well as an online rental and sale platform that delivers movies digitally and by mail[4]. This expansion away from its core movie rental model has been an effort to compete with fierce online rental service rival Netflix and to capitalize on consumer trends.
Blockbuster recorded revenues of $4.1 billion and net loss of $569 million in fiscal year 2009. Its businesses are divided in the several segments: In Store, By Mail, Vending, and Download to PC.
Blockbuster's stores offer new and traded movie and game rentals to their customers, including the addition of Blu-ray DVDs into their product mix in 2007. Additionally, over 400 of those locations include a game store-in-store concept operating under the GAME RUSH brand[5]. Junk
Blockbuster offers an Internet-based subscription service with a DVD library of over 90,000 movie titles and video games through Blockbuster.com that can reach customers who are not within Blockbuster movie rental outlets[6].
Blockbuster is a growing player in the nascent vending channel and looks to expand its physical distribution of media entertainment. It has signed a contract with NCR to establish machines in over 2,500 locations.[7].
Blockbuster integrated its online rental services with Movielink, LLC, an online movie downloading business with one of the largest libraries of digital content for both rental and sale, which it purchased in 2007. This has allowed it to take advantage of the trend away from the brick-and-mortar industry business model and match the unique services of competitor Netflix.
The retail sector is highly volatile, with contraction and expansion closely pegged to the business cycle. When the economy is growing rapidly, demand for discretionary products like DVDs and video games increases, whereas in a downturn demand plummets. Because of structural weaknesses in the U.S. economy, Blockbuster suffered from lower store traffic and witnessed drops in same-store revenues[8].
The technological developments in the in-home entertainment industry have increased the amount of competition for companies like Blockbuster. In recent years the rise of online rental services, online viewing, video on demand services and other such new-media fields have brought new competitors into their market. In order to remain a significant player in the in-home entertainment industry Blockbuster has to remain at the cutting edge by providing their products in the newest ways. Their Total Access program, the acquisition of Movielink, and the re-shelfing of their merchandise with HD and Blue-Ray discs are examples of attempts to take advantage of the growth in non-conventional rental services.
Through a partnership with NCR to deploy a total of 10,000 kiosks, Blockbuster is trying to expand into more consumer-convenient distribution channels[9]. However, the current market leader and kiosk movie rental pioneer, Redbox, has established machines in over 15,000 locations across the United States[10]. The fortune of pioneering kiosk rentals has allowed Redbox to select the most accessible locations possible, posing substantial barriers to entry for firms like Blockbuster, who must resort to relatively inaccessible locations for their kiosk business. Additionally, Redbox delivers additional value to consumers via its revenue-sharing partnership with Viacom's Paramount Home Entertainment, which offers Paramount DVD and Blu-ray discs for rental the same day they become available for sale[11].
Blockbuster distributes its product to customers in three ways: In-store rentals and sales, online rentals, and online viewing. As such there are three areas of competition for the company.
Blockbuster competes directly with regional or small-scale movie rental chains, though none compare in size or market share to Blockbuster as well as with major retailers which provide stiff competition in the same products that Blockbuster rents and sells to its customers. These retailers include Best Buy, Wal-Mart Stores, and Amazon. Coinstar does not follow the brick-and-mortar model but competes through the Redbox DVD rental kiosks it operates in over 15,000 locations in the U.S[10].
Blockbuster's acquisition of Movielink brought them into the online viewing market after a few established players already had a solid hold. Amazon is one such example with their Unbox service. Netflix already offers all of its subscribers a way to view videos on their PCs and at no additional charge. Blockbuster has not made any move to give away Movielink privileges to its Total Access subscribers. The entire online viewing market is also very susceptible to piracy and intellectual property violations. Websites providing pirated television shows and movies, while illegal, are widespread.

Listen Darryl Holter tells Euan Kerr about his early days on the West Bank

Listen Darryl Holter's West Bank Gone
The West Bank of Minneapolis hosts a homecoming of sorts on Thursday. Singer Darryl Holter will stage a CD release concert at Palmer's Bar for his new recording "West Bank Gone."
It's a tribute to when Holter lived in the neighborhood in the late 1960's. At the time it was a musical hotspot attracting international attention, and Holter played a bit himself.
Holter now is a developer living in Los Angeles. Yet as he told Euan Kerr, he could never forget those West Bank Days, and that's what led to the album.
Darryl Holter will play music from his album "West Bank Gone" on Thursday evening at Palmers Bar in the West Bank area of Minneapolis.

It was fun, though. I really dug it...except for the parts where they had Asian people in it, and they couldn't figure out anything to do with them except make them into stereotypes...also, the fake "decisions" that you could make and they'd just end up going down the same path.

FF was fine back then (FF6 and 7 doubly so, as they helped me ease into the RPG genre), but at this point I am ready to lay it to rest for good.
But since US and Japanese roleplaying are one and the same, I am quite sure I will never come to a decision over either, ever. All the core roleplaying elements are present in both styles: traveling around the world, meeting people, finding treasure, fighting bad guys, building skills and experience, all as part of one great big storyline. Whatever differences exist betwixt the two of them are too superficial to mean anything to me.

"Combat is SO simplistic that for the most part you can start combat, and then go over to the restroom, or grab a bowl of cereal, or read a book, and NEVER have to worry about any characters dying. When the text tells you that you should be expecting a long, drawn out battle, they mean 2 to 3 rounds."
and this paragraph here:
"Also, you attack every enemy from the front. How lame is that?! The whole point of the strategy RPG genre is to go around flanking and attacking the enemy from behind by outmaneuvering them. No outmaneuvering to be done here. Apparently, nothing you attack is smart enough to surprise you. You have advanced data on the monster, right down the number of hit points it has. If you want, you can figure out exactly how every battle will go, right down to who will deliver the killing blow, and all it takes is very simple math. None of your characters ever miss and the enemy never misses. The strategy in this strategy RPG has been left by the wayside and the gameplay value of the game plummets. "
I can't imagine playing a strategy RPG where you don't really move...is this really as weird as it sounds? You attack EVERY enemy in the game head on? You can figure out all the fights ahead of time?
Anyway, if you want to read his full review it's here:
Looks like the rest of the game really rocks...except for the gameplay.

Disgaea is my new favorite game. I got it for Christmas, and I've been playing it daily ever since...
...and Morrowind is awesome too. Too bad I can only really play it on the XBOX... even though I've found the way to use the mods on it... well, the PC version wins...
I'm tired of Square's need to overdo every game they put out. Hopefully, Enix won't screw up with Star Ocean 3, or Squeenix isn't gonna see another penny from me...

Even if they overhype a game, their stuff is still better than 85% of the crap out there. X-2 was kinda weak, but I'd play X-2 anyday over something like Mortal Kombat Gold or Tomb Raider, or anything by THQ. You wanna do something useful? Boycott Acclaim or Interplay or Midway.

It's not that Square's games are bad, they've just drifted from my likes. If they keep heading away from my tastes, I won't buy a game from them. It's simple. I thought FFX was awful, and FFX-2 was probably the worst 6 hours of my life. I couldn't push myself to beat it. Good thing I trust my instincts and only borrowed it...
And it's the principals of Square that I don't like. They keep following the same stories, with the same settings.
Once, JUST ONCE, I'd like to play a FF that's not set in a post-apocalyptic world. They bother me because it's EVERY FF except FF1.
Although... FFXII is looking nice...
The whole "Full Camera Control" makes me feel nice inside... but looking at the Square-Manditory effeminate male lead makes me feel bad. Do they have some FF rulebook? Does every male have to look sexier than their female co-pilots?

I think every FF beyond 6, maybe 7, has been of a drastically different flavor than the previous half of the series. Storywise and characterwise, 6 and 7 were probably the last greats of the FF series.

IMO, Disgaea is at LEAST 10 times better than FFT. The battles are faster, the stat system is insane, the Item World is an excellent idea, the ability to throw characters/enemies is awesome, and the art style is superb. If you liked FFT, chances run high that you'll love Disgaea.

Post subject: Sadistik Exekution 87 demo..
Hmm, I have a copy of a rehearsal demo they put out in Jan 87, it has Possessed (its spelt like this on the tape) Heomorage, The Magus, Sadistikly Exekuted and a drum solo by Sloth "the drummer for the E.P".. I might have to verify with Sloth whether it was one of the first rehearsals with him playing drums..
I got this from Rok, its just a TDK tape with his writing on it. Nothing much to see really..
I also have an all black Sadistik tape, i dunno whats on it, he sent it at the same time as the other tape, i think.. I dunno - it was so long ago.. its all black and has a cover which was sent separately to the tape, so i dont know if its the actual cover or some random cover he sent to me for fun..
Anyways, what tape are you guys talking about? They did lots of rehearsal "demo" tapes..
Riff, NomDi..

I'm talking about this first self titled demo with 3 songs (the one you mentioned).
I'm assuming you're the one behind those demos and the coasters on eBay recently. Some crazy bidding on those items.

Yeah thats the one i have, although i have 3 songs and Sloth's drum solo. The cover came a few weeks later, well at least i know which tape its from.. It gets confusing. I have stickers of the cover too, heaps of them.. I use them to hold things together.. Oh the black tape i mentioned was the first version of the red promo, which Rok sent to me well before the red tape came out..
And yeah, it is me who is selling the stuff on eBay, its to help get some money together so Sloth can buy some drum equipment so he can record with NomDi later this year.. the bidding was mad, time will tell if the person who won the bidding will actually pay.. I had a few private offers for the red promo tape as well, cos i have a few of them, the best was $50 euro, which is about $AU80..
By the way, what does your tape look like on the inside? Does it have any writing on it at all? Are you wondering if its an original or something? Are you guys in Australia? Cos if you aren't, i was wondering how you all manage to have so much of the old Sad Ex stuff..

That E.P has nothing whatsoever to do with the band. At all.
Its really awful, it sounds like it was recorded in a cave. The saddest thing about it is, that a lot of people think that it represents the band, both in sound and presentation. Matty who wrote all the songs, did all the artwork and plays both guitar and bass on the demo was shattered when he heard it, because its obvious they didn't give a rats arse about the band or the music cos they used an old worn out demo (which i gave them in 88) with cheap recording equipment and production, plus they couldn't even be bothered to spell half the names right, use proper record labels or even render the artwork correctly. Over all its a substandard embarrassment to the band and everything they care about musically and otherwise.
You can hear MP3 versions taken from the original master VHS a couple of months ago (so i could record the tapes i am selling). It's MP3 cos thats all you can load on myspace, so the quality has been compromised a little, but it still sounds infinitely better than the E.P and has the 2 songs backwards as well (which they did originally on the master).
Sorry if it sounds like I am trashing the fact that you have a copy of the E.P. that wasn't my intention. It's not like anyone knew it was a bootleg or anything. I'm selling some original (unplayed) demo tapes on eBay, I don't know how much they will go for, but if you want the real Nomenclature Diablerie deal it might be worth checking it out.. cos it saddens me that all you have is the E.P. and its obvious you like the music..
Take it easy,

I made this post for a friend as he was trying to get this tape. Not sure what the original looks like myself. I have the other demos and the EP on Black Power but just need this one. Maybe I'll find it next millenium.
As for the Nom Di EP that's all I have also. Interesting Lovecraftian demo with fucked up vocals. Yeah the EP sucks but it's easier to find than an original demo.
I reside in Australia but Sad Ex cults have managed to infiltrate every country on this planet - just the demo tapes and those MCD's which are harder to find.

I have 12 of the ORIGINAL 888 demo tapes by Nomenclature Diablerie. Without going into too much detail here, I was the original person to release/distribute the 888 demo, and out of 500 I have 12 left, which I am selling. I kept all the left over covers, lyric sheets and tapes, so they are 100% original. They are numbered and signed by the original band members.
I'm taking offers, if you would like to make one.

What to do when your cake batter doesn't fit all in the cake pan?
Of course, the most logical thing would be to do some cupcakes or even a mini cake in a smaller pan. That's what I usually do anyway. But this time, when left with some sponge cake batter, my waffle iron started calling me. I'm not rude, so I answered.
This is a very easy and basic recipe for sponge cake. To tell you the truth I usually use my grandma's sponge cake recipe but this is the one I used for the cake I was making, and so for the waffles. It actually worked pretty well.
Whip the eggs and sugar until they double their volume and are very foamy. Add the flour and mix delicately. Bake in a 180ºC (350ºF) pre heated oven.
To make the waffles, just dump the batter into the hot waffle iron. Make sure to spray it or brush it with some oil or butter, since there's no fat in the batter (except for the yolks).
This was probably the end of my "leftover cake batter cupcakes", I rather have "leftover cake batter waffles" instead! They were good! I enjoyed mine with honey and even made a wee sandwich with jam that was quite nice! And I don't even like jam that much…
I'm pretty much sure they don't eat much waffles in Tunisia, but I'll let you know what they do eat, since that's where I'm heading tomorrow. I'm going to spend a few days in Tunis with a friend that lives there. Couscous here I go!

Security increased at Centre college for VP debate
Security increased at Centre college for VP debate
DANVILLE, Ky. —
Chain-link fences and concrete barriers have been installed on streets around Centre College in Danville, the most visible signs of increased security for Thursday's vice presidential debate.
Clarence Wyatt, the co-chairman of Centre's debate committee, told The Lexington Herald-Leader that all aspects of planning and putting on this year's debate are much more complex than 12 years ago when the college hosted its first vice presidential debate in 2000.
Starting Tuesday, key roads around the campus will be closing and those attending the debate will have their bags searched.
There are no public tickets to the debate between Vice President Joe Biden and Republican U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, but there will be video screens for people to watch nearby.

Building Water Efficiency Into Green Homes
A version of this article appears in the Water/Energy: Linking Efficiency Efforts (Special Edition) issue of Home Energy Magazine.
May 28, 2007
How much is 25 million gallons of water? Enough to fill 200 million 16-oz bottles. Enough bottles to keep you busy for the next 60 years, if you decide to count them down in "99 bottles of beer on the wall" fashion. Twenty-five million gallons is also the combined annual water savings of the more than 1,000 certified California Green Builder homes completed since 2005. California Green Builder (CGB) is a voluntary program that provides a workable framework for production builders to build resource-efficient homes. Since 2005, over 3,000 homes have been enrolled in the program, and over 1,000 of those homes have been built. All CGB homes are built to be 15% more energy efficient than homes that just meet the standards set by Title 24—California's energy code, one of the strictest in the nation. And all CGB homes are built to save a minimum of 20,000 gallons of water per year. In addition, CGB homes must use engineered-wood products from sustainable sources and must have an engineered HVAC design, with a MERV 6 filter for improved indoor air quality. And CGB builders must divert a minimum of 50% of construction waste from landfills. The energy and water savings ...
