Posts Tagged Linda Yung
Hungry For a New Blog?
Posted by Mira Leon in Alumni, Blogs, Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, School of Arts and Sciences on June 12, 2013
Interested in taking a free, local culinary tour? How about an international one? Check out Linda Yung's, A11, N13, blog, Spoonhau5, and discover her favorite (and not so favorite) eats around campus, the greater Boston area, New York City, and abroad.
Enjoy bringing the heat as much as you love eating things with it? Linda also posts delicious recipes, some of which she develops herself, and others that she has learned from family members or adapted from cookbooks and blogs to fit a healthier profile based on her studies at the Friedman School of Nutrition. Among her offerings: simple prosciutto and melon appetizers, red wine braised short ribs, and dirty blonde brownies.
As a busy student (she triple majored in International Relations, Biomedical Studies and Chinese), how did Linda get started on her blog? Linda gave me the scoop on Spoonhau5.
The blog developed in phases, she said, starting first as a platform where she could review restaurants she had visited and document her experience. Once she entered Friedman, Linda decided to add another dimension to Spoonhau5, and started incorporating nutritionally-informed blog posts. However, "[she] realized early on that [she] was much better at writing restaurant reviews, so now it's mostly restaurant reviews." Linda is contemplating adding food news and policy commentary into the mix though, so keep checking back.
And even though her fun and witty blog may be another a fun hobby, keeping a consistent blog isn't easy – each post Linda publishes takes a few hours to create. But because she finds good food inspiring, it's something she really enjoys doing. In fact, if you ever get the chance to dine with this food connoisseur, you'll likely find her snapping pictures of all the dishes for future posts.
Linda also gave us the scoop on her favorite eats on and around campus. The results:
- Tufts Dining Services' best dish is their butternut squash bisque, which she always gets when available.
- When finding herself with a coveted free morning on the hill, she'll run over to Magnificent Muffins and Bagels, where "they have the best breakfast sandwiches in the greater Boston area. A tomato, egg, and cheese on a scooped-out toasted spinach bagel with a medium iced coffee (and a chocolate chip muffin if you're feeling wild) is all you need to get your day going."
Is your stomach growling yet?

how can you expect the raiders to ever do anything when they switch coaches every year and sometimes have two different head coaches in a season
@paulpierce34 I told Wade I will **** his mom like how my man D. West did his mans. Thats why I got ejected
Ignore List:
AIMelo=KillaDUO; Reason: Makes up stories to protect the one he beats his meat to everynight(Melo)
Chucky Woods; Reason: Packer Homer that just talks outta his Azz
HaruSoul; Reason: Sanchez homer can't see that he is a POS qb
Hustlenomics; Reason: Good luck debating with this Ronda homer
nickdymez; Reason: Kobe/Laker homer but didn't even know how the Lakers got Kobe
i wouldt go near a raiders job opening for all the tea in china
30 Team Stadium Checklist: 10 to go
1) Yankees 2) Orioles 3) Rays 4) Red Sox 5) Mets 6) Braves 7) Phillies 8) Nationals 9) Marlins 10) Pirates 11) Padres 12) Astros 13) Mariners 14) Twins 15) Cubs 16) White Sox 17) Cardinals 18) Indians 19) Tigers 20) Royals 21) Reds
The way Hub Arkish was explaining this on the radio last night was that it was pretty close to getting done. Reggie would maintain some role in the organization, but Chucky would get full control of personnel.

Well shucks, There goes my hopes he comes to lions as a QB Coach lol
Because they use the same formula every year; it's not rocket science.Originally Posted by corytwotimes:24592553
I don't get why everyone is saying he is a bad coach. Five division tittles and a ring in 14 seasons. He is well over .500 for his career. What am I missing? Not trying to be a dick, just genuinely curious.
Personally, I think Gruden is better than most of the guys holding down an HC job in the league right now. He is also very likely to command a top tier salary with expanded powers, if he were to leave the booth next season. With his sons now headed off to college, I'm sure he's getting that itch to get back in the game. My money is on him replacing Reid in Philly. (Note: Deuce Gruden, Jon's son, attends college in Easton, PA.)
"Why can't we tell the world that [as the Raiders' coach] you refused to play games in the segregated South, holding out to the point where they were canceled?' And he would stop me dead in my tracks and say, 'Hey, kid -- I didn't do it for publicity. I did it because it was right.' "

In this program, we discuss the "Shroud of Turin" and how it relates to the grey alien phenomenon. It might sound strange, but we are going to connect these topics together with Nigel Kerner, the author of "Song of the Greys" and "Grey Aliens and the Harvesting of Souls". He joins us with his colleague Andrew Silverman. Nigel has felt driven, from his young years, to expose the hypocrisy in modern scientific and religious and social thinking. His formal graduate education is in biomedical science and human behavioural psychology. Nigel has found significant evidence in Gnostic texts to suggest that Christ warned his apostles about an alien threat. His colleauge Andrew Silverman is a medical doctor with a background in physiology and has been interested from an early age in the nature of what we are as human beings and what our potential is. He has always been fascinated to know how the image on the Turin Shroud could have formed being mindful of the fact that it can not be replicated even with 21st Century technology. Last year he presented a paper on the Turin Shroud at a conference at the atomic physics research centre ENEA in Frascati, Italy. Stay with us for two hours as we explore their ideas and research. In the second hour, Nigel shares his thesis on the Shroud of Turin as a powerful illustration of someone who lived beyond the atomic state. He feels that this example may be the antidote which the greys are using and may bear upon us. They are adapting us for their kind of existence heading for the only immortality they can know - a physical immortality that according to the laws of physics is no immortality at all. It has to end one day with the cold death of the entire universe as cosmologists now say. Stay with us for the second hour with Nigel Kerner and Andrew Silverman.

Two men charged after boy, 16, stabbed during neighbourhood dispute: police
Two men have been charged after a neighbourhood dispute in Yagoona in Sydney's south-west left a 16-year-old boy in hospital with serious stab wounds to his stomach, arm, thigh, chest and back.
The boy's 24-year-old sister received a seven centimetre stab to her head, plus stab wounds to her left armpit and right leg in the same attack.
Both are in serious but stable conditions at Liverpool Hospital.
Police said the incident took place just before 3pm on Treuer Parade yesterday.
A third man, 20, was admitted to Westmead Hospital, where he remains under police guard while being treated for an injury to his left arm.
A woman, 44, meanwhile, is under police guard in Bankstown Hospital, where she is receiving treatment for fractures to her nose and eye.
A 23-year-old man was arrested at the scene and taken to Bankstown Police Station. His 47-year-old father was also arrested and taken to Bankstown after being treated at St George Hospital for a thigh wound.
Both were charged with wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. The older man has also been charged with affray and reckless grievous bodily harm in company. They were refused bail and will appear in Bankstown Local Court today.
Police investigations are continuing.
In a separate stabbing overnight, police were called to a house in Wyatt Parade, Narwee, where a 17-year-old boy had stab wounds to his arms and stomach.
He was taken to St George Hospital, though his wounds were not considered life-threatening.
Police say the incident occurred after the boy had been socialising at a reserve in Hannans Road, Narwee about 10pm.
They have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.

Hi Bill,
I don't know about the oil. That left handed zipper is a European thing. You know, they do drive on the wrong side of the road? At least that is my American view of the problem!
For what it is worth, my BMW (MEN'S) jacket has a left handed European/woman's zipper also. Like you, it was awkward for me in the beginning. After a while, you get use to it. And when the zipper is covered up, the jacket still looks manly.
You have a good day,

HOUSTON - Federal investigators have raided a University of Houston academic building, the university acknowledged Friday.
"Federal authorities have begun an investigation on the University of Houston campus, details of which have not been made public. The university is cooperating fully, as it does in all law enforcement investigations. Based on the information provided to us, the University of Houston is not the target of the investigation. It would be inappropriate to comment further at this time," Richard Bonnin, executive director of media relations said in a statement on Friday.
University officials will not comment about the nature of the investigation, but Local 2 Investigates has learned through two sources that the investigation is focused on a professor who may have improperly used government grant money.
The FBI in Houston told Local 2 Investigates their agency was not involved in the raid, which one source said netted at least one computer but no arrests.
Several labs within "Science & Research Building I" house sensitive research material and are locked.
NASA and the Department of Defense are affiliated with some of the work that happens within the seven-story building.
One source said the federal investigators were armed and said, "'We'll be back.'"

MENLO PARK — Authorities have identified the second homicide victim in Menlo Park this year as Carey Cudlip, 42.
Shot and killed in a car Saturday night during a violent confrontation, Cudlip, who has lived in Newark, was found in the street in the 300 block of Ivy Drive about 6:30 p.m. by police. They were responding to reports of gunfire, said Menlo Park police and the San Mateo County Coroner's Office. Cudlip was later pronounced dead.
Cudlip and a woman, who may have been his wife, were sitting in a car at the time of the deadly assault, authorities said. Menlo Park police Cmdr. Dave Bertini said the events leading up to the killing remain under investigation.
Two men in dark hooded sweatshirts were seen running from the scene after the shooting. No arrests have been reported.
This, the second killing in the city in 2012, follows the death of Jesus Molina, 19, who was shot and killed in June in the 1300 block of Madera Avenue.

Congressman Richard Neal pushes bill to help small breweries
Craft beer brewers are toasting U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal and a plan he has to save them money.
At the Barrington Brewery on Thursday, the congressman announced the Small Brewer Reinvestment and Expanding Workforce Act, a bipartisan bill that would cut excise taxes on beer in half, thus saving small breweries the money they need to grow and create more jobs in Western Massachusetts.
"They're locally owned, and they generate enormous economic activity," Neal said. "They do this, in a lot of ways, on the margins."
Currently, small breweries that produce less than 2 million barrels a year pay a $7 excise tax for each of its first 60,000 barrels of beer produced. Breweries that produce more than 60,000 barrels pay $18 per barrel in excise tax. Neal's proposed bill would cut the tax rate to $3.50 and $16, respectively.
It would also raise the number of barrels produced to qualify for the small-brewer rates from 2 million barrels to 6 million barrels.
Massachusetts brewers pay almost $1.3 million in annual excise tax, which was established in 1976, before the boom of microbreweries. It has to be recalibrated to align with today's small-time brewery operations, Neal said.
"It's a pro-growth proposal encouraging these men and women to continue to grow their business locally," he said.
Neal will introduce the act alongside Pennsylvania congressman and co-author Jim Gerlach in February.
If passed, the Small Brewer Reinvestment and Expanding Workforce Act would help regional brewers like Berkshire Brewing in South Deerfield, which paid $140,000 in excise tax last year after producing 21,000 barrels of brewed beer.
"It really is an industry that is on a growth curve," said Berkshire Brewing owner Gary Bogoff. "You find most brewers reinvest, very heavily, into their plant so that they can produce more, and hire more people."
The smell of brewing malt and the sight of frothy beer at Barrington Brewery was the ideal backdrop for Neal's plans to help small-time, local breweries.
State Rep. William "Smitty" Pignatelli was there, as were nine Massachusetts brewing companies.
"Congressman Neal, more than anybody else in Congress, has stepped up to champion the growth and the success of small brewers in Massachusetts," said Jim Koch, the founder of Sam Adams, which is brewed at the Boston Beer Co.
Barrington Brewery, which hosted Thursday's announcement after being contacted by the Massachusetts Brewers Guild last summer, is unique in that it is both a brewery and a pub, which provided the food at a social mingling between brewers and politicians after Neal's announcement.
"If it does pass, it would bring back some of the money that we're sending to the federal government," Barrington Brewery co-owner Gary Happ said. "That will enable us to do some improvements with the bottling equipment and the infrastructure."
John Friedman, an economist at Harvard University, has estimated that the Small Brewer Reinvestment and Expanding Workforce Act would generate nearly 4,400 job in the first year and an average of 300 jobs each year after that. The study also estimated the bill would generate about $153 million in economic activity in the first year and $865 million over five years.
The 33 craft breweries in Massachusetts employ 1,333 people, according to the Massachusetts Brewers Guild.

I'm looking for info from riders who are using textile jackets with Rainguard waterproofing.
How waterproof are these jackets and does the waterproofing last?
I'm looking for info from riders who are using textile jackets with Rainguard waterproofing.
How waterproof are these jackets and does the waterproofing last?
Anthony S.
Rainguard is a liner and not a treatment. I have a Fieldsheer jacket with a rainguard liner and have never had it leak yet. I have zippered shoulder and back vents and haven't even had rain get in there when closed. I should mention that I am behind the fairing of a K1200LT but you still get wet. We've ridden back from Florida a few times in some of those Florida and South Georgia "turd floaters" and been dry. My wife wears a Cortech jacket and has the same results as me. Pants on the other hand.....
I've got a pair of Tourmaster Quest pants with the rainguard liner and they are HOT when the weather is warmer. The past 2 times I've worn the pants in the rain I felt like my bottom got wet. I thought it was because it was cold too and just turned on the heated seat. But the last time the thermals I had on were also wet. The funny thing is that the jacket is worn a whole lot more than the pants and the jacket is older too.
Thanks for the input
I misinterpreted their description
"A waterproof and breathable Rainguard?« barrier allows dryness without perspiration buildup "
Is what they call a barrier laminated to the shell or is it a removable liner?
Anthony S.
Most of the time the Rainguard is not a removable liner but a membrane liner under the codura or carbolex and between it and the interior lining. It's supposed to be breathable but not let water through.
thanks for the explanation
So it would be similar to Aerostitch design fabric but using Rainguard instead of the Gore Tex membrane
Anthony S.

NEW LONDON, Conn. - The squash team resumed action on Sunday in Connecticut after defeating both Fordham and Northeastern at home the day before. The Engineers failed to extend their three game winning streak, losing to both Northwestern University and Connecticut College by 8-1 scores. Coming into the match, MIT was ranked 31st in the national rankings, while Northwestern was 24th and Connecticut College was 21st. Senior captain Nadeem Mazen picked up MIT's only two victories between the two matches.
The Engineers first faced Northwestern University at 10:30 a.m. in Middletown, Connecticut. MIT split the first two matches but then lost seven straight to Northwestern in the 8-1 defeat. MIT's lone victory came at the hands of Nadeem Mazen, who also won both of his games against Fordham and Northeastern on Saturday. Mazen convincingly beat Northwestern's Peter Kam in three sets, 9-6, 9-6, 9-1.
MIT then traveled to New London, Connecticut for a 2:00 p.m. meeting with Connecticut College. The Camels took the first game, as Rob Purple defeated MIT junior Duncan Ma in four hard fought sets. The second game between MIT star Nadeem Mazen and Jordan Savaz proved to be the closest competition of the day. Mazen was edged in the first two sets 8-10 and 7-9 before storming back with three straight wins, 9-5, 9-5, 9-6. With the win, he finished the weekend with a perfect 4-0 record against tough competitors.
"Nadeem's results are remarkable," said head coach Jim Taylor. "He is playing at the number two position of the team against high level competition. This was a grueling weekend with four matches played in a 24 hour window. His opponents were fresh. Nadeem is playing the best squash of his MIT career. It is a good way to end his four varsity years."
The Engineers will look to bounce back against tenth ranked Brown University on Thursday, February 2. The match will begin at 6:00 p.m.

It's been a good couple of years for Gregg Allman: 2011's T-Bone Burnett-produced Low Country Blues was highly acclaimed and earned a GRAMMY nomination, his autobiography, My Cross To Bear, was a hit (and is being adapted for a feature film). And of course, the Allman Brothers Band is still very much an ongoing concern.
Now news comes that a huge tribute concert in his honor is being organized at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta for early next year. "All My Friends: Celebrating the Songs & Voice of Gregg Allman" will feature a lineup of major stars including Trace Adkins, Jackson Browne, Eric Church, Natalie Cole, Brantley Gilbert, John Hiatt, Taj Mahal, Keb' Mo', Martina McBride, Pat Monahan of Train, Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, Robert Randolph, Susan Tedeschi, Don Was and Widespread Panic, as well as, of course, the Allmans.
An all-star band will be led by Was (who recently held the bandleader position at a Levon Helm tribute concert that Allman performed at) and Allman Brother Warren Haynes. The concert will take place on January 10, and tickets go on sale at 10 am ET on November 1 at the Fox Theatre's website. For more information, go to the concert's official webpage.

DFCU Financial to Pay Back $23 Million
The $3.5 billion DFCU Financial in Dearborn, Mich., said this week it will return a record $23 million special patronage dividend to nearly 100,000 of its 215,000 members.
The program began in 2006 and now has returned $154 million to members, Michigan's largest credit union said this week in a statement.
"The economy may have struggled, but we have been able to give a larger sum of cash back to our members every year," said Mark Shobe, president and CEO of DFCU Financial.
Payouts to members is based on their total relationship with the credit union and is calculated at 0.5% of their average yearly loan and deposit balances, with each eligible member receiving at least $50, the credit union said.
"DFCU is the only financial institution in the nation to pay members an average of $20 million for the last eight consecutive years," the credit union said in its announcement.
"Outstanding financial performance combined with member loyalty makes this possible. We invest in them and their families, and they invest in us," Shobe said in the announcement.
DFCU Financial, originally a credit union for Ford Motor Co. workers, said it currently operates 24 full-service branches in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids and Lansing.

Hundley working hard despite limited playing time
By Corey Brock / MLB.com
SAN DIEGO -- The season is barely three weeks old, yet it has become evident that on a team with three catchers, Nick Hundley is the odd-man out.
Does Hundley, who has played in eight of the team's first 17 games, feel that his days in San Diego are numbered?
"It's a fair question," Hundley said before Saturday's game against the Giants. "Going into the season, this isn't the way I thought it would shake-out. It's not the ideal situation."
San Diego general manager Josh Byrnes has previously stated that he didn't think the team would carry three catchers all season. And with outfielders Carlos Quentin and Cameron Maybin set to come off the disabled list in the next month, if not sooner, dropping or trading a catcher would seem logical.
"When we get to a point where [Cameron] Maybin and [Carlos] Quentin are ready to come off the DL, then we'll have to decide what to do. That's a spot we'll have to take a look at," Byrnes said.
Hundley, a second-round pick in 2005 out of the University of Arizona, has a deeper history with manager Bud Black than anyone in the clubhouse other than Chase Headley.
Hundley, who has four hits in 15 at-bats this season, has appeared in the fourth-most games in franchise history at catcher (457) since breaking into the big leagues in 2008.
Yasmani Grandal, who is hitting .355, is the team's primary starting catcher, even though he's not yet to the point where he's caught consecutive games after coming off knee surgery last August.
Rene Rivera, who has a strong reputation among the Padres' pitchers, is getting most of the reps as the backup catcher.
As for Hundley, who is making $4 million this season in the final year of a three-year contract he signed in 2012, he's trying to spend his time working on his framing skills and trying to keep his swing current with a lot of early work.
"The only thing I can control is my game. I feel my game is sharp, I've never caught better, I feel like I've never swung the bat better," he said.
Hundley has worked with assistant general manager A.J. Hinch on receiving the ball in a better fashion. He's worked with hitting coach Phil Plantier on keeping his swing mechanics as well.
If the team is indeed trying to shop him, he's not concerned about it.
"I can't look that far ahead," he said.
Black aims to keep Gyorko's position static
SAN DIEGO -- Chase Headley returned to the Padres' starting lineup on Saturday after not starting in the previous three games because of a mild strain of his right biceps.
The Padres used Alexi Amarista at third base in his absence but refused to move second baseman Jedd Gyorko to third base, even though he appeared in more games at third base in the Minor Leagues (223) than anywhere else by a long shot.
So why didn't manager Bud Black slide Gyorko over to third base when Headley was out? After all, he did at the beginning of last season when Headley started the year on the disabled list with a fractured thumb.
"I got multiple emails from fans about that," Black said. "I think the best answer is this; We did that a little bit last year, when against a left-handed pitcher, Cody Ransom played third and Jedd played second. Against a righty, Jedd played third and Alexi [Amarista] played second base.
"I just think moving a guy back and forth, especially an everyday player, is not the ideal situation. I think Jedd is a guy we want to keep at second base, keep him stable, keep him steady. I think Alexi's mindset is such where he's used to being moved from position to position. He fills in fine at third."
Gyorko appeared in 13 games at third base last season, with all but one coming before April 15. In those games, he had two errors.
There is a thought, internally at least, that Gyorko's arm is better suited for the right side of the infield.
Padres garnering lift from bench's power
SAN DIEGO -- When Yasmani Grandal connected for a pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning on Friday, it gave the Padres four pinch-hit home runs this season in just 28 at-bats.
On nine other occasions in franchise history, the Padres have finished with four pinch-hit home runs -- during an entire season. Take 1996, when the team had four of them in 256 at-bats.
"It's been pretty good," said Padres manager Bud Black. "We have a couple of guys that can do it. When you have those guys, the other team worries about it. Power is a weapon, power is real."
Grandal, Seth Smith (March 30 against the Dodgers), Alexi Amarista (April 6, Marlins) and Xavier Nady (April 13, Tigers) are the others to come off the bench and go deep this season.
The four pinch-hit home runs are the most in the Major Leagues this season. The second-place Pirates have done it twice. The only Major League team to have more pinch-hit home runs through the first 17 games of the season was the 2001 D-backs with five in 17 games.
"Going back [to days as a player], I'm remembering certain guys on that bench that might pinch-hit, if there's a threat of a homer or damage, it's disconcerting," Black said. "In most cases when a guy pinch-hits, the game is in the balance. One swing of the bat can change the complexion of the game."

Perez gets chance to rest sore, bruised leg
Royals catcher expected to be in Monday's lineup at Yankee Stadium
By Dick Kaegel and Kathleen Gier / MLB.com
KANSAS CITY -- Catcher Salvador Perez wasn't in the Royals' lineup on Sunday, the first game after he was selected to the American League All-Star team.
"His leg's barking a little bit," manager Ned Yost said. "It's not anything he couldn't play through, but an occasional rest here and there is going to help him. It's a combination of a soft tissue and a bone bruise and he can play through it, but it's sore."
Perez explained that his lower right leg has been struck multiple times when he was behind the plate in the last week or 10 days.
"Foul balls or when I try to block the ball, sometimes they get behind the shin guard and hit me in the same spot," Perez said. "It's not a big deal. I can play, but they want me to give it a rest today."
Yost believes that Perez will be back in the lineup on Monday night at Yankee Stadium.
"It's evident when he runs, how sore it is. It's not anything he couldn't play through, but the more he plays on it, the sorer it gets. So you pick a spot every three or four days to try to get him over the hump," Yost said.
Backup George Kottaras was the starting catcher against the Athletics, his team for the second half of last season and in the playoffs.
"I didn't even think about that factor until I got here this morning and thought, 'Hey, this is a chance to give George a chance to play against his old team,'" Yost said. "You always enjoy those opportunities when you get to go back and play against your old team."
Kottaras belted a home run in his first at-bat against former batterymate A.J. Griffin and later drew two walks in the Royals' 10-4 loss.
Although this was just Kottaras' 15th start, Yost likes the job he's done.
"He's prepared every single day, he gives you a professional at-bat and has done a great job behind the plate in the games that he's played. He receives the ball well, blocks the ball fine and calls a really good game," Yost said. "He's a good complement to Salvy."
Royals players happy for their All-Star duo
KANSAS CITY -- For the first time in 10 years, the Kansas City Royals have two All-Stars and their teammates couldn't be happier for them.
Manager Ned Yost made the announcement after Saturday's game that left fielder Alex Gordon had been selected, and after a dramatic pause, Yost added that catcher Salvador Perez would also be heading to New York's Citi Field for the Midsummer Classic on July 16.
"We won another game late and we were excited about that, and then when we found out that Gordon was going we went crazy because he's deserved it, he's played so well over the last four or five years," closer Greg Holland said. "He's a Gold Glover, saves runs, drives in runs. Then, when we found out we had another one, nobody was expecting that, so that was even cooler."
Gordon's won back-to-back Gold Glove Award for his efforts in left field and is adding another strong campaign to his resume -- entering Sunday's game against the A's tied for the American League lead with eight outfield assists. He's holding his own on offense, too, batting .290 with eight home runs and 46 RBIs through 81 games.
"I'm really happy for Gordon, he's been the backbone of our team," Holland said. "To see how he goes about his business, it's really rewarding to see a guy who works that hard and never takes a play off to get rewarded."
Perez, who is in his second season with the Royals, already is setting the tone for a lengthy impressive career. He holds the franchise record with nine pickoffs by a catcher after leading the Majors with five last season. On offense, Perez's .391 average with runners in scoring position ranks third in the league. He also is second among American League catchers with a .302 overall average.
"He's just that good," said Billy Butler, who represented the Royals at the 2012 All-Star game in Kansas City. "Catch-and-throw wise, there's not many guys better. Maybe Yadier Molina and that's it. He's basically comparable to me, they remind me of the same player. When you've got that kind of talent, nobody ignores it."
The last two Royals to appear on the same All-Star roster were Mike Sweeney and Mike MacDougal in 2003. Perez is the first catcher to represent the Royals since Darrell Porter in 1980.
Reliever J.C. Gutierrez said that he was thrilled for Gordon and Perez, but thought the club had a few more players worthy of making the All-Star squad, including Holland, Ervin Santana and James Shields.
"I didn't really think about it," Holland said. "I just try to go out there and pitch every day as well as I can. At the end of the day, just to be considered like that by your teammates is really rewarding."

"Good, solid, mystery"
This book didn't blow my mind, but it was interesting and I'd read more by the same author. The characters were well drawn out, and the book had a good pace to it.
"Held my interest all the way until the ending"
Yes, I am almost finished with the third one and have bought the next one. Someone in a review compared her to Donna Leon. Yes, in some ways this is true. In others not, but it does not matter. I love a mystery with strong characterization and sense of place.
Perhaps a Donna Leon, but I do not like to think this way. It seems artificial and counterproductive.
I mostly like all of it with one tiny complaint. I wish his voice level would not go up so loudly at times and then I must turn the volume down to not wake my spouse and then it goes back to normal and I have to turn it up again. Consistency would be good. This is normal for most USA books, which is why I buy so very few. I haven't found this to be a problem with UK books before now. But, basically, he is really good
I never answer this question as it is too lame.
I hope the author continues to write and that I will have more than the four currently now available. I adore the characters and scenes. Modernity with acute social commentary. Such a worthy series that is also a great read.
"Weird ending"
Quite enjoyed the book up to a point - but the ending was not very consistent with the rest of the story line. It seemed to be a last minute construction and one not very well thought out.

I am running Zonealarm internet security suite 9.3.037.000 with regular updates on a PC with Win XP SP2.
Yesterday I clicked on a folder on my desktop and I got a ZA popup that said that it had found Packed.Win32.Katusha.n and quarantined it. I was surprised that it said this was found in a McAfee rootkit detective program (Rootkit_Detective.exe) that I ran once about 3 years ago and is in a zip archive. When I ask for more information on it, the Kaspersky search says no matching records.
I saw today where there is another file quarantined by ZA, which is a system restore file. also tagged as having Packed.Win32.Katusha.n.
What should I do now. I still have the zipped archive of the file it alerted on, so should I send it into Kaspersky for analysis? Also, how do I get rid of all my old system restore points?

My Final AL Vote Thoughts
With today bringing the 2009 All-Star game fan voting to an end, it is now time for people to try and predict, influence or even try and persuade some of the rest of the baseball world that their guys truly deserve a slot in the All-Star game in St. Louis on July 14. The official results will not be aired or known until at least this Sunday, but there is speculation and even rampant optimism that at least one star of your local team will grace the roster announced on Sunday during the 2009 MLB All Star Selection Show presented by Pepsi on Sunday on TBS at 1 pm.
The American baseball public has responded to cast 223.5 million votes from 17.8 million ballots to set a new record for the total number of ballots and votes cast in the fan balloting of the All Star game. Of course this is not the last time they will get a chance to vote for a member of the 2009 All Star squad. On Sunday during the telecast, the "last chance" voting opportunity also known as the "All Star Game Sprint Final Vote". Wow, what a clever name for the contest. As we all know, the Rays Evan Longoria won that last selection vote in 2008, and so far has been the highest vote getter in the American League side of voting this season.
The All Star Managers, the National League's Charlie Manuel and the American Leagues Joe Maddon will help select the five players to take part in the final vote. This voting will continue until next Tuesday at 4 pm EST when all electronic votes will be counted and submitted to MLB for final approval. MLB.com will announce the winner after 4 pm and they will represent their league in the 2009 All Star game.
Who will get that last slot this season? Could it be the guy who comes in fifth or sixth in the outfield, or maybe even a late bloomer like Texas Ranger shortstop Elvis Andrus. Since my team is located in the American League, I am going to try and make some predictions and logical choices to be considered for the 2009 A L side of the field. For me to even consider who might make it on the NL side of the equation might be more speculation than fact, and I will leave that to the bevy of ESPN columnists more qualified than me to know the National League. So without further ado, let me try and figure out the final 32 members of the AL squad I would expect and also select if I was in the AL Manager's cleats.
For the Final vote, hmm, this might be a bit interesting this season. I am thinking that the Rays will again have a member on the five people selected for the Final Vote. This season it will be uber-utility player Ben Zobrist. I think Maddon wants to put him on the squad, but he might already have three players on the squad at that point and might leave it up to the voting public for the last slot. For what he has done in the first half of the season, he deserves it, but does the rest of the country agree with the Rays fans.
A second player I feel might be considered for the final vote will be Toronto Blue Jay shortstop Marcus Scutaro. Based on his defensive and offensive mastery in 2009, he should be an outside candidate to be included as the second shortstop on the squad. He is being a bit punished by New York Yankees long stay Derek Jeter taking the starting spot, and the Rays Jason Bartlett maybe taking the second slot. But this could change and they could also be swapped if the Jays do not place another player on the squad, but with Jays starter Roy Halladay now healthy, you have to consider him for your pitching staff.
I am also thinking that MLB and Maddon might let the fans decide if Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez deserves a slot on the team after his PED conversations and his recent emergence to again hitting like the old A-Rod. This might be the place for the general public to either voice their support or disgust for his actions. The Yankee star will not be voted into the starting line-up this season as Longoria is the probable starter at third base this season for the AL.
The fourth player that might find himself on the Final Vote will be Los Angeles Angels outfielder Torii Hunter. This season with Jason Bay now on the AL-side of the voting, he has taken a usual spot taken by one of the trio of Hunter, the Rays Carl Crawford, and another former AL and NL All Star Seattle's Ken Griffey Jr. Hunter has been a fixture on ESPN's Sportscenter and also Baseball Tonight for his defensive web gems, and it might be the publics votes that get him into the event.
The last guy to be on the vote for the All Star Game Sprint Final Vote has been mentioned above. I am thinking that Maddon and MLB would both like to see Ken Griffey Jr. in the All-Star game again, this time on the AL side of the field. The guy has been the role model for my generation on how to play the game with style, grace and a smile during all 162 games. With his addition to this last vote, it would bring about a message that longevity and public persona do have a play in the classic event. The guy has given us great moments this year out of Seattle and deserves a shot at another All-Star selection.
So far this season, there have been some huge gains by player usually though of as back-ups or late additions to teams. There have also been some players who have sat at the top of their games have a few falls from grace moments and are trying to rebuild trust and their game. But no matter what happens, I still think this years AL squad looks as tough and as strong as the last 5 years. This is my personal selection for the final five to be considered for the All Star Game Sprint Final Vote.
This is not t mean a player like Toronto's Aaron Hill, Twins slugger Justin Morneau, or even Indians catcher Victor Martinez will not be selected to the squads. I do not envy Maddon his job of getting all of the AL teams represented for the event. Every teams has a star who should attend the event, but also there are players who have already either sewn up a spot at that position, or might be involved in the last vote. We will not know what the country thinks until Tuesday evening, but starting on Sunday night e can again make our voices ring loud and clear and decide at least one member of the 2009 AL and NL All Star squads.

Ford Expedition fuel pump problems
95sportster Posts: 4Took to a local indy shop, where after some testing showed that the electrical signal was making it back to fuel pump, the pump must be faulty. Replaced fuel pump to the tune of $800 or so. Not a lick of problems since.
Now it's time to replace the pinion seal in the rear end. Anybody tackle that one with a minimum of tools and rear end experience?? Not too sure about the crush collar and all the other goodies supposedly inside.
coupe930 Posts: 2It looks like most of the problems are with 05 Expeditions. I have a 99 with what appears to be a bad fuel pump. I have a fuel pump relay in the underhood fuse box that is OK. As far as I know I don't have one in the underdash fuse box. There is none noted on the fuse/relay diagram. My car would not start, but if you gave it a squirt of starting fluid it would take right off and run fine. this happened about 3 times in a month and then it would not start at all. I opened up the injection line at the fuel rail and there was no residual pressure. Not gas comes out when I turn on the key or turn the engine over with the starter. Sounds like a fuel pump to me. However, when I started looking for one, I found different part numbers for the 4.6 liter engine with std suspension, another number is it has auto adjusting (air leveling) suspension and yet another number for 4WD. I have the 5.4 liter engine with 4WD and 4 wheel auto leveling air suspension. Does it make a difference which fuel pump I use?
Any other ideas? thanks
I'd like to say fuel pump problem, but the problem is reoccuring.. I bought a 2000 Expedition, 5.4 E.B... Upon first driving the vehicle, with the key in position 1, (one turn foward, not cranking) the tach and speedometer, oil, all guages would all dial in the accurate direction, then back, then I could hear a constant hum coming from the fuel pump, or rear area. I installed a larger battery(disconnected power) and Zap, there goes the hum from the fuel pump, and after retrimming the idle, it no longer has performance quality acceleration , or transmission shifting, and the guages no longer set. I still run and start fine, but the 5.4 gusto is gone.. Is the constant hum the sending unit? I was told the guages set to indicate there is a trickle power draw. Only thing that doesn't work after changing the battery is guages and hum from pump.. Even if it is the pump, I'm thinking it's reference codes that get lost at power disconnection, not the pump. Even if it is tuner codes, it can be fixed without replacement, just tuner tool purchase.. Any similiar stories, definately want to chat,,,... EdBummer2000
This is the technical term for the guages rotating all the way up, then back.. The theory is that this rotation signifies low charge or trickle charge in battery, an alarm or something. But more importantly I noticed that when this "rotation" was happening with the key in position one, I can hear 2 whirling sounds a second apart, then a constant whirl from the fuel pump, from the driver's seat. My charge was low, the battery finally died. I installed a new one, the guages "rotated", the 2 whirls a second apart happened, but no constant whirl upon 1st start up.
That's when "deflection of guages" set in. No movement. Then a couple days later, no 2 whirls a second apart, no constant whirl before starting, and of course no idle or fuel trim anymore. I retrained it once but it seemed to go out again. Any ideas on how to regain that constant feed from the fuel pump, and retrim idle and fuel. ( Transmission recalibration) Not the 1st truck this has happened to. Hope it's not an tuner tool problem, if so which one!
03expoxlt Posts: 1I have a 03 ford expedition XLT and i went to autozone to buy fuel injector cleaner. Then once i put it in my truck died and it wouldn't start back up. I used a fuel pressure gauge and found out that i asnt getting anything from the pump, I couldn't hear it either and i need help...please :sick:
blondekm Posts: 1Ok, I have a 2006 Expedition...Wed Nov 21, 2012 (day before Thanksgiving), I was getting on the highway, slight traffic up ahead, truck was up to 40MPH and just "died" I was in the middle lane, slowly pulled over but ended up stalling on a bridge and nowhere else to go but breakdown in the first lane on the start of a holiday weekend...UGH. Highaway patrol showed up 45 min later...pushed me into the breakdown lane and my tow truck came 10 min after that. Just got my truck back last night.....NOT the fuel pump, but the DRIVER MODULE...it was all corroted...my mechanic replace the module and the gas filter for $383?! I am hoping there is now a recall from Ford?! Or if this is something that should/could be possibly covered by warranty? Any information would be appreciated. I am just lucky my kids weren't stuck with me in the first lane on a highway!!
Fuel pump problems seem to be in all 2000- 2007 models. the one thing we all have in common is; there should be a constant whirl sound when you turn your key 1 time foward, but not started. if you don't hear it, your fuel pump is going bad, and fuel supply could stop at any second.. I'll be driving then all of a sudden the truck shuts down as if I've run out of gas, with plenty, and then it starts going again...
bldaz Posts: 11Doing a lot or reading reagrding this issue ( Also my problem ) this part Fuel pump Driver module has been the culprit on quite a few hard start's / wont start problems. The part can be found cheaply at around 60 bucks online to 120 and up elsewhere. The fuel filter about the same, double that amount for labor to install.
I paid to have it looked at, they replaced the plugs, #2 coil, and a tune up and did not get the problem fixed, for 750 bucks!
co2007expy Posts: 1I have reviewed all the posts that I can find to replace the FPDM on my 2007 Expedition but the part is not in the cavity from the spare tire. I am desperate to replace this part and have been unable to fiind it. Can someone please help.
jgirl506 Posts: 1I am having similar problems. I looked for the part online and could not find a fuel pump driver module. Could it be a fuel pump sending unit?
I have the same problem and have been told by the dealership that the SOONEST they expect to see the part is August 15th!!!!! I want to just freak out when I hear Ford's response....they understand my frustration (yea right) and they are willing to reimburse me should they initiate a recall AS LONG AS I am in possession of my receipts (really? I think you are bound by law to do that)
But I've tried the relays, replaced the fuel filter, and now I'm going to check the wires going into it because that was a suggestion made by an ex-Ford mechanic.
Does anyone else think maybe Ford is in a dispute with their vendor for nonpayment or contract pricing negotiations????
A service manager told me today, his computer is showing 1,281 fuel pumps on back order and projected delivery 8/15. Every state has a consumer complaint division, we should all start flooding them with emails!
mich24l Posts: 11999 exp.. eddie bauer.. 5.6.. was hiccupping while driving... mech fixed vacuum tube and it ran better for a day or so..then started hesitating again and dying while driving down road.. it eventually died and wouldnt restart.. mech said fuel pump and everything test out okay..they cant figure t out?? anyone got any ideas or had this problem happen to them?? help ... love my expedition... oh yea the mech replaced all the plugs also.. it turns over and almost starts but wont.... please help me
shelbycobrass Posts: 1We too are having a problem with our Expedition. I drove it to work and when I went to leave, it wouldn't start. This was at the end of May. We had it towed to our dealer and they have told us it's the fuel pump but that it will be September before they can get a new one. They've searched for used ones as well but can't find a used one either. In a last effort, they ordered one for a regular Expedition (ours is an EL) and put it in. Supposedly it works but there isn't enough space for the 'top shield'. They're telling us that in rare cases, this could become an issue but they're willing to give it to us without it installed. And, if we take the vehicle now, with this work-around, they won't replace it again once the correct parts come in, even though it's under the extended warranty... You can imagine how frustrated we are.
Does anyone know what not installing the top shield could do? I don't want to take it if it's a safety risk but I also don't want to have to wait until Sept. We're pushing them for a replacement/loaner vehicle so that we can wait for the correct part but I'm not expecting any results with that.
Some of you mentioned contacting the Ford Corporate office, if you have that info, I'd appreciate it. And, I'm going to send a letter to the WA state AG office because this is ridiculous!! But sadly, I don't expect any of these things to fix the problem. Any ideas? I'm contemplating my attorney as another next step... class action lawsuit???
acarbajal Posts: 1b>Our fuel pump went out in May on our 2007 Expedition. We towed it to the dealership and they told us that the part was on massive back order and would not be available until the beginning of August. They just called us today and said the part will not be available until September!! We are so frustrated! We are making a payment on a vehicle that we can not even use and this ruined our entire summer! I am seriously going to look into a class action lawsuit! This is absolutely ridiculous! I will never buy a Ford again and will discourage anyone and everyone who is looking at buying one. UUUUGGHH!!! :mad:
stever Posts: 52,683RockAuto.com shows three different brands available. Is there some reason you have to use the dealer and their parts supplier?
sethtrucker Posts: 3I agree look for another source rather than wait. That said, I did finally replace my fuel pump on the 2000 Expedition and had it done at Pep Boys. They put in some after market part and while it runs no problem, my fuel gauge has never been the same. First it would never show as full, only 3/4's then it started fritz with weird levels, now it is completely kaput. I have to go back and have them do something.
But I can drive my car and the dealer is a rip-off. So just keep trying. Good luck!
I am having the same problem with my 05 we have replaced the: fuel pump, filter, fuse block, inline fuel rail sensor, fuel pump driver moduel,and the battery im at a loss!
My Expedition started with a stumble when driving, then a code was thrown cylinder 3 miss fire so we changed the spark plugs and coil packs then it would not start at all there was no fuel getting into the motor so my husband and I replaced the air and fuel filter it than ran for 2 days, then we replaced the fuse block, and fuel pump, ran for 2 days again, then replaced the inline fuel rail sensor, fuel pump driver module,and the battery it ran for another 2 days and now it will not work at all we have 12volts all the way to fuel pump and when we test fuel pump out of the tank on our battery charger it works but on the car it does not we are lost can anyone help??
My fuel pump went out on July 7. We had the expedition towed to the nearest ford dealership where they diagnosed the problem. At that time, we were told that the pump was on national backorder - there were over 1000 on backorder. It has now been six weeks and my vehicle still has not been fixed. I started emailing ford motor company a couple of weeks ago about this issue because we nor the dealership were given a time frame. I did also submit a claim to the attorney general's office. I have told ford that I feel they should either provide me with a vehicle comparible to my expedition until my expedition is fixed or they need to pay me out on it so that I can get another vehicle. I must say that I did receive a couple of emails from Ford wanting information about the expedition. Last week Ford called the dealership and told them to just put the part on and the dealership informed them that they would be happy to do that if they could find a part. Today, Ford motor company called me concerning the complaint to the attorney general's office but all she asked was the vin and where the vehicle is located. The dealership then called to let us know that ford had contacted them and informed them that the part would be in sometime in Sept. I am not finished with this yet because I am without a vehicle and am borrowing from my parents or driving our dually farm truck, which is a ford and the wheel bearings went out on it the other day. I do agree with the person who blogged earlier that everyone who is having problems needs to start turning in a complaint to the attorney general office and contact ford motor company. Ford knows they have a problem and they should be issuing a recall and taking care of their customers.
expedition31 Posts: 1My truck cut off in traffic and would not start. My warranty ran out and I had the truck towed to a mechanic who told me it was the fuel pump and that the part is faulty. He also explained that a spark could have ignited in my tank and exploded. I had to have the part replaced and like you all said that part is on back order. So they put in a universal pump that is supposed to be better and replaced the filter since the last pump, ruined it. This cost me $704.00. I am going to contact Ford, because I want my money back for the cost of repairs! Not to mention if that fuel had ignited, while driving with my five children two who are still in diapers...
jasyaja Posts: 1My expedition fuel pump stop working an ford said they are on back order. Ford is telling me that it would be weeks or months before they get a fuel pump. Why sale a vehicle if you can't make parts for it ? So while I have a 2007 ford expedition el it's no good if I can not drive it . Ford only concern is did you take it to dealership so we can make a claim or sorry for the inconvenience that you cannot drive your vehicle for next couple of months . I bet you they have car to get back an forward to work.
donm12 Posts: 4I posted about two years ago, had issues with fuel pump and it was replaced four times. Still under warranty. Now I think it was replace once but they just tried to fix the old one and it kept breaking. I would like to contact the Attorney General as I still think there needs to be a recall. Can someone who did contact the Attorney General post the steps they took to do this. I think that is the only way to get Ford to replace the part with a good part. I still get worried my car will stall and they will not replace the part. They gave me a two year warranty on the part but it should be for 100K miles. So lets all contact the Attorney General.
finance_guy1 Posts: 3I had the same issue on my 2007 EL. Had it towed to the Ford dealer Sunday. Yesterday they replaced the fuel pump with a standard length Expedition fuel pump and I picked it up today. Total cost $925. Talk to your service advisor about using this method. Good luck.
Has your expedition been fixed yet. My fuel pump went out the beginning of august. now ford told me it was going to ship this week but it still hasn't arrived. and they also told me 300 units were made but cannot guarantee i will get one of them. i can;t even imagine what you r going thru not havinng your car since may. i am all for filing a class action lawsuit let me know if you have any info on this. someone who posted after said that the ford dealer put in a fuel pump that was for a standard expedition have you heard anything about that.
could you tell me what ford dealer did that i live in indiana and they told me that wasn' an option my car has been out of service since the beginning of august
We are going to tell our dealer about using a standard length fuel pump. I am not interested in filing a class action, I just want ford to provide me a vehicle, for free, until my gets fixed and if they are not willing to do that then they need to buy me out on it so I can go purchase something else. There is a known problem with these pumps which is the reason why they are on backorder. I wouldn't hold my breath on getting one any too soon though. Good luck.
Has your expedition been fixed yet?
I just googled "missouri attorney general" and clicked on the website. Then I clicked on customer complaint or something like that. Just follow the links once you get to the website.
I did receive a letter from the atttorney general's office which stated that they had received my complaint and they are checking into it. Ford did contact me concerning this complaint - asked the vin and dealer that my vehicle is at. They did contact the dealership and told them that it would be sometime in sept. before the part would be available.
I do feel that everyone who is without a vehicle because of this fuel pump should file a complaint with the attorney general office so that they see how many people are being affected by this and realize that ford is not doing anything about it.
Just an update on my expedition. I received a call this morning from ford motor company. They stated that they will NOT provide me with a vehicle to drive until mine is fixed, nor will they buy me out on my expedition so I can go get a different vehicle and I was told that the fuel pump has an estimated delivery of September 30th. This is five weeks from today and I have already been without my vehicle for seven weeks today, for a total of three months. And, there is no guarantee that the pump will be delivered that week.
As I stated before I do not want to file a class action, however, ford motor company is giving it's customers no other option. I just really can not believe they are not willing to provide customer service. All I receive is "I am sorry that this is an inconvenience for you". If I lived in a large city where I could ride the bus or walk or something it maybe wouldn't be such an inconvenience, but I live seven miles from the nearest town and I work 45 miles away. I have been driving our dually farm truck and my parent's vehicle for the past 7 weeks and now I am suppose to be okay with this for another 5 weeks minimum - I don't think so.
I have been keeping all of the correspondence to and from ford over this issue and this morning I contacted the channel 9 news in Kansas city - problem solvers to see if they will put this problem on the air.
If you have not sent in a complaint to your state's attorney general office, you need to do so. Also, constantly call and email for customer service. Last week (Friday) I asked to speak with a supervisor over this issue, which is the person who contacted me this morning. No, I'm, not getting anywhere with them but maybe if we inundate them with emails and phone calls - I called them four times last week - they will start to do something about this.
We can not just sit around and wait for them (ford) to finally ship the pump. I understand that if there is a problem with this pump then it should not be shipped out, however, ford motor company should provide another means of transportation to those whose vehicle is down because of this pump.
Please, please, please if you are having this same problem with your expedition then start complaining because no one knows and nothing will get done if you don't start calling and emailing.
Ford motor company had called the dealership where my expedition is located and told them to just put the part on and quit delaying. The dealership indicated that they would be more than happy to if they had the part. The person at ford motor company then stated that she could get the part and that she would be in contact with them so the part's man at the dealership gave her the part #. That was 1 1/2 weeks ago and she has not contacted the dealership back yet. That's because the part is not available.

Tekken 3D Prime Edition
Precision. Capcom's VS series aside, it's the beating heart of the fighting genre.
In that at least, Tekken's debut on the 3DS scores highly.
Tekken's always had some of the most flawless visuals in the genre and never needed to adopt the increasingly cartoon expressionism of Street Fighter nor the jiggling motion of Dead or Alive, but Tekken's was just icing on a hearty cake filled with great character animation and fight styles with precise timing. Foundations that leave the franchise in good stead come its 3DS debut.
The 3DS visual footprint might fall short of the work Capcom and Tecmo put into their franchise conversions, but if you're an old hand at Namco's premier fighting series, you'll be able to cue combos and timings fine. Even if the fighters' textures are downscaled, their animations aren't, and the game runs silkily smooth, whatever dimension you choose.
Likewise Tekken's four-limbed control discipline is of benefit. Going handheld with a fighting game has its issues dependent on the console design: focus on the front four face buttons means that, whilst you've got to adapt to the smaller space on each, you're not hindered in bludgeoning the L and R buttons to death.
Namco has followed its peers by adopting touch screen shortcuts, customisable for specific moves, but given the evenly-divided setup only the two right-hand side commands will be comfortably reachable mid-fight. Your left hand will be too violently spasming due to the death grip needed on the stick/D-Pad combo, thumb cramp a forgone conclusion come a quarter hour or more of fighting sessions - a hardware, rather than game, issue. Note though that while the D-Pad is always preferable for move sets, even the 3DS's feels spongy here.
Given the franchise's usual aversion for sparse fillings, 3D Prime Edition is an oddly mixed bag. Last time Tekken hit a Nintendo handheld, it brought with it a roster barely touching the double figures. Prime Edition clocks forty from the off: veterans entering their eighteenth year on the Character Select lists, as well as additions debuting in Tekken 6.
Shame then that for the solo player 3D Prime Edition lacks the meaty trimmings we've come to expect. A multitiered Survival is more slog than gruelling test as you see how far your technical process can carry both you and a single energy bar through multiple opponents. Quick Battle's Arcade without the gloriously bizarre endings, but keeps the quick-switch difficulty. We're still waiting for a time when a developer manages to provide a smoothly scaling difficulty in the classic SP Arcade modes. Lastly Practice is as it's always been.
Namco has tried to elongate the single player experience through two elements. One, the collectable Tekken Card game, a 765-piece colossus with new cards randomly unlocked through winning matches, all of which can be exchanged with other players through 3DS StreetPass. Second's a ranking system with promotion chances offered through the game, and which funnels into multiplayer.
It's still arguable that SP is just a training dojo for the 'real' core of any fighting game - facing off against human opponents. Prime Edition offers the standard setups of Online or Local Play. The former's split into Ranked or Friendly fights, and it'd have been great to have seen a single cart option for Local, even if it was only same-character match-ups In Ranked you can customise your opponents to those of similar rank rather than random - a boon for those stepping into the aggressive fighting culture for the first time.
As expected pre-launch, the online lobbies were, when we attempted to connect, empty, so we're unable to test out online matches - nor the theory that your online character is locked to your initial main character choice on the game's opening menus. While you can change that in a sub-menu (and as each character carries a separate ranking and win/lose ratio, opens up an entirely different challenge in itself), it feels more oversight than streamlining if so. We'll be returning to Tekken's online features in a future article.
Other things of note? The cart comes with a copy of the 3D flick Blood Vengeance, which offers an interesting diversion but loses points due to need to restart the film any time you flip between it and the game - surely an issue expected given the system's portability. Also worth noting is the franchise's ever-brilliant soundtrack, if only to point out the background music to the Alpine stage - a mix of hardcore beats...and yodelling.
Namco has done a great job transferring the core Tekken experience to the 3DS, with character numbers and visuals proving that it's less of a downgrade in going portable than you'd think. However, multiplayer-focused arguments aside, it'd have been great to see a healthier and more diverse list of single player modes to buff up the package. As such it's not an essential purchase as the home console versions of the franchise would be. It pips Dead or Alive but looses out to Super Street Fighter IV as the 3DS's fighting champ.

OCEAN CITY – Some say that the thousands of senior week visitors that flock to Ocean City every June cause the Ocean City Police Department to work overtime. This week, it was alarming to see just how much.
Budget Manager Jennie Knapp presented a report concerning overtime pay for public safety and public works employees and said that most departments are on course to meet their allotted budget for this year, but mentioned that one still has a ways to go.
Knapp showed in her presentation to the Mayor and City Council on Tuesday that the overtime pay for the month of June alone exceeds $400,000, or almost 25-percent of the annual overtime budget. Seasonal overtime, or pay during the months from May to September, makes up almost 60% or $1.4 million of the total $2.4 million overtime budget.
Knapp cited the large spike in overtime pay during the month of June as a result of the fact that seasonal police officers are not sworn in until the second week of June and the year-round force must pick up the slack until the summer-time officers are ready to go into the field.
"There is also a rise in overtime pay in the middle of August as we lose a lot of our seasonal employees around that time each year," said Knapp.
Public safety divisions such as the fire department, EMS and police department make up two-thirds of the entire budget, according to Knapp, who also noted that the OCPD is currently $50,000 under budget so far this year. That trend did not hold true for the EMS, which is the lone division that is well over budget.
"When I made this report, EMS was $100,000 over budget, but they are making efforts to reduce that and are currently $72,000 over budget," said Knapp.
Despite Knapp ensuring the Mayor and City Council that all departments including the EMS division "should finish the year within budget," Councilman Jim Hall said that the entire overtime system should be run more efficiently.
"Overtime is a function of management, and we need to make a model for which everyone should follow. We are kind of running things by the seat of our pants, depending on the event that we are doing. Overtime should be managed by managers in order to get this under control," he said.
Council President Joe Mitrecic praised the police department for its continuing efforts to cut down on the overtime budget each year.
"A few years ago, their overtime budget was something that I took on personally and I want to point out the job they've done to cut overtime pay back every year," said Mitrecic.
Councilman Joe Hall felt that the huge expenditure in June and the slight spike in August might be worth it in the big picture.
"June definitely pops out and it's obviously the ramp up month for the season. It's better to pay a little extra overtime than it is to hire a new person and increase your obligation to provide benefits and pensions, but it's a tricky thing to manage," he said.

Tomas Rosicky shows the desire to call tune for Arsène Wenger
West Bromwich Albion 1 Arsenal 2
Tomas Rosicky has been forced to endure another injury-plagued campaign, however, the Czech Republic midfielder retains the capacity to help orchestrate Arsenal's bid to secure qualification for the Champions League next season.
Handed the monicker "Little Mozart" during his time with Borussia Dortmund, the Barclays Premier League has brought only the occasional standout performance from Rosicky.
With a slight frame and pale features, he has perhaps struggled, particularly in recent years, with the physical rigours of English football.
On his day, however, the sanguine Rosicky can be a match winner and he controlled Arsenal's attacking play against West Bromwich Albion with supreme confidence.
With the precision of a conductor's baton, he picked holes in the home side's back-line and opened up spaces for his team-mates…

ESPN article about NYK, in which Fields situation was mentioned by their GM
Article Link: http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/stor...d-marcus-camby
Grunwald said the Knicks haven't yet decided on whether they will match the offer sheet that shooting guard Landry Fields signed with the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. The deal is for three years and approaches $20 million.
"We haven't reached any decision at this time," the GM said. "We're still looking at that offer sheet and what other alternatives might be available to us."
htp://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/knicksblog/knicks_gm_hoping_experience_pays_3RrRZpkwecdZdS8Hd 7DGXL#ixzz20SdU6I8fGrunwald said little has changed on the Landry Fields, Jeremy Lin offer sheet fronts, although he said Knicks want both back but the press conference was not the time or place to discuss it.
Weve been told he (Lin) has received an offer sheet from the Houston Rockets. Were waiting to see that offer sheet. I think Houston had some things to get through first in terms of timing. But like Landry Fields, Jeremy Lin, those are two young players that wed like back here. Well make a final determination when we need to make that determination. Now is not the time.
I'm already used to Landry becoming a raptor, so they better not match!
I hope they do not match. The more I think about the Raptors needs/areas of improvement and what Fields is capable of doing, I like the signing. I do not like the contract but while it is no doubt overpaying, I don't think it is by a ridiculous amount in the grand scheme of things.Woodson seems to have distanced himself from Fields. According to an NBA source, the moment free agency began, the Knicks never made Fields an offer and were more interested in thrusting him into sign-and- trades with Phoenix, Dallas and others.
Asked about matching Fields offer sheet from Toronto, Woodson said, As it stands right now, its about the guys weve already made the commitment to and get them where they need to be.
General manager Glen Grunwald was more diplomatic.
We havent reached any decision, Grunwald said, adding the club was looking at what other alternatives might be available to us.
The Knicks believe Fields is at his best in the up-tempo attack former coach Mike DAntoni employed, and his outside shot isnt getting better. It may be time for Spike Lee to retire Fields No. 6 jersey and perhaps don the No. 4 which White will wear. Its also the number Nate Robinson, a former dunk champ, wore.

This is a bizzarro world. The raps get lambasted for making that offer and now, if you look at the trend of ny media (fwiw), it looks like he's going to be matched. Crazy. I'd better head over to the "plan b" thread.
Lin's original offer was 4 year 29 million with 2 backloaded years of about 10 million. Now the offer sheet that was signed was 3 year 24 million with 1 backloaded year of 15 million. Since Knicks will match theyll have to pay an additional 5 million more than they expected if they match fields too in the 3rd year. I know they don't care much about money but they gotta draw the line. No way they're matching fields now
Honestly though, I don't think this change in the deal makes any difference whatsoever for NY on whether they keep Fields or not.
What do you guys think BC will do should the Knicks match ?
Throw the money at OJ Mayo ? I just have this feeling that the Raptors are not content with what they have. There's a log jam in the wings & bigs & Jose's situation as well. A lot can change. Too bad I'll miss out on it since I'm going on vacation.
I dont create controversies. Theyre there long before I open my mouth. I just bring them to your attention.
-- Charles Barkley
For those thinking getting Fields is a mistake....why are the Knicks thinking hard about matching inspite of getting into the luxury tax? Must be a shitty player or they like his acting skills or....
Yes he will be making more than the going rate but that is the cba, the nba and he got lucky because of the Nash circumstances. Hard as it maybe we need to separate the money from the player sometimes. I have a similar mental block about Gay. Fields is not top tier but will be a fine asset to this team. Besides anytime we can screw with the Knicks is a fine time with me.
The raptors need at least one bad contract. Just so all the fans can dream about all the free cap space that we can have the year it comes off the books. That is just how things work. I am just glad it is Fields and what he brings rather than Barbosa playing hero ball.
from what we have seen teams are now loading up with capspace to spend all in one year to give themselves a "window" to compete. they blow all that money and use the poison pill offer to grab players from other teams, where before the money was an even rate for all the years, now you just guess at which average yearly payment will the other team not be able to pay and put all the money at the end of the contract, leaving you with a massive expiring at the end of the term.
i think this cba is going to have a lot of player movement and really put the focus of team building on the shoulders of the gm. teams like okc will come and go. i think that teams that have a long standing game style, san antonio, will benefit from this the most. these teams will plug holes and keep chugging along while other teams continuously swing for the fences.
hopefully this is what casey and bc are planning. get the system down and then stay with that style and choose players to fit it.
edit: using okc not from a talent standpoint but from gameplay. teams without half court sets will find it harder to compete with the teams that are built with a stronger system foundation.

Anybody know if theres a deadline to when the knicks can match/decline the offer to Fields?
I might be the only one who hopes that knicks do match it...

Waving flags on whose dime?

Those flags are certainly uninspiring...
Shop Menlo!
What's that? Is that supposed to encourage me to shop menlo park? I'll shop where there is innovation and value, not because of a sense of loyaly to pay high Menlo Park sales taxes. Shop menlo park so my sales tax dollars will pay our city manager's $250k salary (+ benefits)?
Misguided flag initiative. How much did those flags cost?

The Menlo Park Chamber of Commerce is behind the flags. They were paid for by the chamber, according to Fran Dehn, the chamber's president and CEO.
The chamber's holiday committee came up with the idea for the flags, Ms. Dehn said.

Joanna is incorrect and if you look at the past two years of achives you will see "she" is dedicated to attacking and misinforming. The city manager makes $208K salary + benefits.
Palo Alto's new city manager makes $240K base before benefits.
Feel free to be bitter and to lash out at flags but keep to the facts.

Rojas' package is worth about $256,400
Link for falsies...

I find it quite telling those who justify pay packages based on what others are doing. One of the major flaws in thinking is the assumption that that we couldn't get performance if we didn't pay high salaries.
I for one think that we can get just as much done with a $100k (maybe more) manager. Paying high salaries doesn't get high results. Need proof? Look at what changed since we brought the big guns in.
I'm going to buy the next town over. I'm going to name it San Haha. At San Haha, we're paying our employees tons of cash for no reason at all. Definitely not merit. Does that mean that you should too?
I sure could have used that laugh! Thanks Falsie.

Congrats on getting the number accurate for the first time in almost two years. Maybe my attempt to curb your deception is starting to rub off.
Here is where your "logic" falls short yet again (ignoring the complete lack of creativity in your attempt at humor).
Free markets dictate salaries, not ideologies. If you believe in free markets, then you believe in competitive bidding, pricing and pay.
If you don't, then you are pushing a conversion to some hybrid socialist system that may in fact work, but requires more research than a joke and a web link.
Throwing out a salary arbitrarily is a waste of everyone's time.

Originally published on Business News Daily, December 18, 2012.
While reports are now surfacing that a deal between President Barack Obama and Congress to avoid a fall off the fiscal cliff may be in reach, each passing day that an agreement isn't reached brings consumers closer to a number of financial uncertainties.
From higher taxes to cuts in spending, the full potential ramifications are still unknown. With uncertainty swirling, here is advice from several financial experts on how consumers should handle the situation.
While the repercussions from a fall off the fiscal cliff sound scary, fear shouldn't dictate anyone's financial moves, said Chuck Fulkerson, a U.S. markets expert and instructor development manager for Online Trading Academy.
Fulkerson said he is telling his students to stick with their financial plan while also educating themselves more on the state of the economy and money management.
"Don't let your fear of the fiscal cliff drive your financial decisions.
When emotions get involved, you make emotional decisions, not rational ones," Fulkerson told BusinessNewsDaily.
"The more you know about what is going on, both in our economy and the markets, the more educated your financial plan will be."
James Poe, founder of Texas Retirement Specialists, said consumers should consider holding off on large purchases until the tax situation becomes clearer.
Since taxes will be higher should an agreement not be reached, consumers will have to base calculations regarding large purchases, such as a car or house, on the tax situation as it could be in 2013 — not as it was this year, Poe said.
"If you don't own a business where you can write off purchases, I would be very, very cautious about taking on new financial obligations until there is much, much more known about how sharp and how deep the cliff will be," he said.
With higher taxes a certainty for anyone who pays federal income taxes if a deal isn't reached, Charles J. Read, Jr., president of Custom Payroll Associates, believes employees should take proactive steps to ensure they aren't shocked by their tax bill next year.
"Take a look at your W-4 form and consider increasing your withholding so you won't be surprised when additional income tax is due," Read said.
To be fully prepared, he also advises consumers to check with a tax adviser on whether the new tax rates qualify them for the Alternative Minimum Tax, which is projected to cost the average middle class family an additional $4,000 a year in taxes.
Personal finance educator Kate Horrell is telling her clients to quickly increase contributions to any retirement accounts they have before the end of the year.
"It would be smart to max out post-tax retirement accounts for 2012," Horrell said.
"If taxes do increase dramatically, 2012 contributions will be less expensive than 2013 contributions."
Consumers should look ahead to whether they plan to make any big purchases, such as a house, in the coming years, said Mary Kelly, CEO of Productive Leaders.
She advises consumers take profits from investments now if they think they'll need that money as cash in the next few years.
"For example, if you are looking to buy a home in two or three years and you have held some investments for a few years, cash out now so that you are not hit by the higher capital gains taxes in 2013 and beyond," Kelly said.
