1. The Committee requested a Memorandum by its letter of
6 June 1997 on the following point:
Explain the reasons for the increase in fees made
by regulation 2.
2. The activities for which the Medical Devices Agency charges
fees relate to the assessment for the purposes of designation
or change of status of independent certification organisations
known as notified bodies and assessment of notifications of clinical
investigations of medical devices (both statutory responsibilities).
It is one of the Agency's business targets that the full costs
of carrying out these assessments be covered by fees payable by
the certification organisations and manufacturers.
3. The fees charged under the principal Regulations were
based on estimates of the amount of time it would take to carry
out each type of assessment. Since these duties were new to the
MDA there was no evidence as to how long the tasks would take
in practice. Since the implementation of the principal Regulations,
monitoring of the tasks performed has revealed that in practice
the time taken to perform most tasks and the associated overhead
costs have been higher than those estimated.
4. The new fees payable under regulation 2 adjust the fees
payable to reflect better the actual cost of each type of activity.
This accounts for the variation in the rate of the increase and
for the fact that some fees have remained unchanged. The figures
also allow for 5% forecast of inflation of MDA's own costs in
the year 1997-98.

When the English cricket authorities gather to perform the post-mortem on their team's unfortunate Ashes misadventure, it is likely they will consider and discuss a host of reasons why their Australian sojourn went so badly. This, I believe, is not only normal but logical as well -- you do need to try and uncover where you have gone wrong in order to improve. Where this exercise might take on added urgency, however, is to be found in the fact that England were not just beaten by Australia, they were stomped on and ground into the dust.
By then, hopefully, their heads would have stopped spinning, because apart from being overpowering, Australia's victory was also totally unexpected, at least if they listened to and read most of the forecasters. After all, it was only a few months ago that Australia toured the old country and were beaten 3-0, and since both sides were mostly made up of the same players then England should be favourites to retain the Urn again. And even if Australia somehow found a way to eke out a narrow triumph, it would be a hard-fought, drawn-out, bloody battle, likely to leave battle scars and casualties aplenty - on both sides.
Much to everyone's surprise, however, the games have all been what basketball fans would call blowouts. Instead of the bruising battles envisioned, England were crushed on all three occasions: by 381 runs in Brisbane, 281 runs in Adelaide and 150 runs in Perth, Michael Clarke declaring four times in six innings.
Two Australians who have contributed significantly to this stunning turnaround are David Warner and Mitchell Johnson. The opener had three games in the previous Ashes conTest, while the pacer never made the trip at all. Both have been imposing themselves compellingly on the current series.
Warner had a turbulent time in England. A twitter rant against two cricket journalists and a bar-brawl involving England batsman Joe Root was followed by a suspension and a fine by Cricket Australia. Jettisoned to the 'A' team, on tour of South Africa at the time, he returned to the team for the last three games, averaging a paltry 23 runs per innings. Chastened, the left-hander returned home, worked hard on his game, had a few good matches for New South Wales and then took to the visiting English bowlers with a vengeance.
The diminutive swashbuckler has made telling contributions in every single Test: 49 and 124 in Brisbane, 29 and 83* in Adelaide, and 60 and 112 in Perth; all made in the energetic manner for which he has become known. His free scoring in Brisbane got his side off to a bright start. A 29-over union with captain Michael Clarke yielded 158 runs at over five runs per over, building on a 159 first innings lead that was later pushed farther at an even more rapid rate by Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson.
Warner's 83* in Adelaide formed the backbone of the second innings, allowing Clarke to declare at 132/3. But it was in Perth that he did his best work. His first innings 60 was only behind Steve Smith's 111. In the second innings, his 112 made off 140 deliveries with 17 fours and 2 sixes killed the game as a conTest, and along with Shane Watson who made a brutal 103, silenced whatever hopes the opposition might have harboured for an improbable victory that would have prolonged the Ashes as a conTest.
Perhaps the only player to match, and even surpass Warner in terms of potency and vigour is Mitchell Johnson. The left-armed menace, absent during the England leg of the encounter, might have had some difficulty starting the series had injury not depleted Australia's fast bowling resources. Nobody could have prophesied the effect the previously fickle pacer would have on the series. His capacity for propelling a cricket ball at high pace was well known, what Johnson did not do often enough was pair his steaming pace with steadiness -- he would be devastating one day, one spell even, and profligate the next.
He stormed in at Brisbane and had England in immediate retreat. On a surface providing pace and bounce Johnson used the short ball to telling effect, capturing nine wickets. More importantly, however, he totally demoralized the visitors with pace and hostility probably not employed in Australia's cause since the days of Lillee and Thomson.
In the aftermath of the Brisbane bombardment the visitors must have doubted their chances of retaining the Ashes. It wasn't just that they were badly defeated; more significant was that whatever hope they arrived with Down Under was dismantled in a haze of electric pace bowling and forthright batting -- and in just the first game at that.
In Adelaide, where the bounce was not as generous, Johnson landed the ball closer to the batsman and knocked out seven wickets in the first innings, four of them bowled, one falling LBW. The message delivered was that England could expect no respite. No surface, no matter how docile, could provide any relief. Even when Johnson went wicket-less for over 240 deliveries -- stretching from having Cook caught by Harris near the long leg boundary in the second Test to when he had Stokes caught behind by Haddin in the third - England still knew he was lurking, like a spitting cobra, capable of striking any moment.
England are not losing so badly because they suddenly became a bad side; they remain one of the best teams in the world. They are simply being overpowered by a side playing a much more forceful and uncompromising type of cricket. The chief instigators of this style are Warner and Johnson. Long may their methods last.
Warner and Johnson: Australia's Hit Men
When the English cricket authorities gather to perform the post-mortem on their team's unfortunate Ashes misadventure, it is likely they will consider and discuss a host of reasons why their Australian sojourn went so badly. This, I believe, is not only normal but logical as well -- you do need to try and uncover where you have gone wrong in order to improve.

Professor Gregory Parks tells USA Today he doesn't think the Champion case will deter future hazing
Research | Comments Off
USA Today
May 3, 2012
In one of the largest hazing prosecutions ever, 13 people were charged Wednesday in the brutal hazing death of Florida A&M University drum major Robert Champion.
State attorney Lawson Lamar said 11 people are accused of hazing resulting in death, a third-degree felony punishable by up to six years in prison for defendants who have no criminal records. Two defendants face misdemeanor charges in the November death.
The state also filed 20 counts of misdemeanor hazing against others in unrelated incidents.
It was not immediately clear whether those charged were all students or whether they included faculty members. By Wednesday afternoon, two were in custody at the Leon County jail in Tallahassee: Rikki Wills, 24, and Caleb Jackson, 23. Both are charged with felony hazing resulting in death. Wills, who was also a drum major, declined to comment when reached by phone. No working phone number was available for Jackson. The names of the other 11 have not been released.
The charges bring renewed scrutiny to hazing, the sometimes-violent endurance rituals that persist at some college fraternities and among band members at some historically black colleges and universities. FAMU's Marching 100, which was suspended indefinitely after Champion's death, has a history of hazing going back decades.
Gregory Parks, an assistant professor of law at Wake Forest University in North Carolina who has edited several books on Greek-letter organizations, also doesn't expect the Champion case to deter would-be hazers. "This is a long, ingrained culture within these organizations, where violent hazing has taken place," he said.

Property taxes are expected to increase in the city of Chicago thanks to Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Not that he is trying to do anything wrong, but an area in North Chicago is going to be affected the more than any others due to property tax, some estimate that it is supposed to rise in excess of forty-eight percent. No other region's property tax in Cook County rose more than this area did, which was sent ahead in late this October by the City Council of Chicago. Roughly everyone in between CTA's Clybourn Red Line and North stop and the Chicago Avenue Brown Line stop will be affected by this property tax hike.
The increase in the price of real estate in this area has caused the property tax to go up as well. If an area is pricey to live in, residents will largely be willing to pay the property tax. It is not like they could do anything but move out of the neighborhood, anyways.
Mr. Majeed Ekbal is the president of Expresso on North Lakeview Avenue. Expresso is not a coffee — it is a company designed to buy and gather groceries from a list of different stores for people who need to buy groceries but are not easily able to leave their home and buy them or they might not have the time. Majeed Ekbal has been known to even purchase goods from out of state to fulfill the customer's needs.
Majeed Ekbal is also involved with real estate and the property tax hike in some areas of Chicago. Mr. Majeed Ekbal recently graduated from the American University, located in the heartland of the United States of America in the District of Columbia. Ekbal's company, Expresso, is expected to grow into the largest company of its type in the greater Chicago area in the next few years.

Most books, Edward Teller warns his readers, are "partially right and partially wrong." He adds that "this book . . . claims to be no exception." This is Teller at his best. With insight and wit, he has given readers a vision of the beauty, power, and romance of natural science. Now near the end of his book , while exhorting humanity to surmount its fears and problems to ensure survival of its civilization, he takes himself with a grain of salt.
However, it is hard not to take this outstanding physicist a bit more seriously than he may choose take himself.
An architect of the hydrogen bomb, historically identified with the hawks on arms control, even ostracized in the 1950s by many other physicists for his role in the persecution of J. Robert Oppenheimer, his public image has had its dark side. Yet this has never been the whole, or even the half, of Edward Teller. This delightful and challenging little book, refined from a series of lectures given at Pepperdine University, helps one appreciate both his intellectual power and his essential humanity.
Here Teller, the physicist, cuts through the technical complexities and the jargon to reveal the essence of natural science. He presents it as a quest for simplicity and order -- a search for those few general principles with which humans can make sense of their awareness of the natural world -- hence the title of the book. This is the work of a skilled expositor. Readers can gain an appreciation for the thought modes that have prodiced scientific knowledge. they can share the sense of beauty a scientist feels in seeing the underlying simplicities emerge.
They also can share some of the puzzle-solving fun if they tackle Teller's "invisible appendices." These are a group of problems where the reader, with some guidance, is asked to work out such things as measuring the distance of the sun from Earth or deriving laws of planetary motion. They are discretely tucked into the back of the book and are in no way necessary for reading or understanding the main text.
Indeed, this is not a textbook presentation of physicists' findings. It is, rather, an essay on key insights that have been gained and their relevance to larger issues. Chief among these, for the purposes of this book, is the concept which Danish physicist Niels Bohr called complementarity. This holds that to understand the essential nature of things one must consider them simultaneously in terms of antagonistic or contradictory images. Thus atomic particles can only be understood as having the nature both of particles and of waves. Neither image alone suffices. Both are needed.
In physics, theories that embody complementarity have done much to bring order to what Teller calls "the ambiguous, even paradoxical nature of what which we accept as reality." Teller would use the concept to bring insight to the ambiguous, paradoxical issues of national security, peace, and human progress and survival. He deals with the "conlict" between individual freedom and social cooperation or between national security through military strength and world peace in these terms. This cast ancient dilemmas in mod terms wihtout getting us much further toward resolving them. Nevertheless, his outlook is cautiously hopeful. He believes humanity does have the spiritual, and the technical, strength to struggle through to a better world.
This is Teller, the humanist, straining to bring a fresh viwpoint to seemingly intractable human problems. To seome extent, he succeeds. Certainly, he is provocative. Yet one wonders if the paradigm of complementaril may not be overdone, or indeed whether poets and prophets may not have grasped it long before the physicists. If so, readers can make use of that grain of salt. On the whole, though, this is a thoughtful, provocative book which will more than repay the investment in reading, pondering, and even arguing with its author's perceptions.

Betcha Can't
Chapter One: Poker Chips
AN: I read my friend Karasu's story, "We Have the Faces for Radio" (you can find it on this site, under the penname CURE-Karasu), and I realized that I identified with the author who wrote stories on a clichéd premise, but spun them and made them her own. Cause that's what I feel like I do. So, in the spirit of that author (I'm not egotistical enough to think it was based on me… and the rest of the description makes me hope it's not), I decided to try to, once more, flip a cliché. I wonder if I still have a talent for it. I might be a bit rusty and out-of-practice…
Without further adieu…
"Ante up, boys," I said, exhaling a stream of thick cigar smoke with my words. It was our weekly poker game, hosted at my humble (and I mean that in the strictest of senses) abode.
My name's Gavin Brierley. And let's get one thing clear before I begin this story: I am not a nice person. I never was, and I have no plans of ever becoming one. So when everything goes to hell (as we all know it must), don't stand there with your mouths agape like, "What? Why would you do that?"
It's because I'm mean-spirited. We've established this.
I'm also gay. Shit, shock, horror, right? But don't worry, I'm one of those classy maybe-they-are, maybe-they-aren't gay guys, not one of those, omigod-look-at-them-floating-around-saying-stuff gay guys. I hold a special place of hatred in my heart for that kind.
Maybe if they weren't such pussies we wouldn't all have such a bad name.
Just putting that out there. Think about it.
But anyway, back to the game.
We don't bet money. We bet actions. Dares, if you will. The number of chips you lose dictates what kind of dare you get.
I lost fifteen chips, which would have equaled roughly one hundred and fifty dollars. I guess it's a good thing we weren't betting money, as my job pays shit.
But instead of losing half a week of pay, I lost something much less important to me: my dignity.
My loss of dignity came with a name: Ryan Rakers.
"Ryan? Really?" I asked, eyebrow quirked. Lindsay Withrow, the only girl allowed into the sacred folds of the weekly poker games, nodded, a smug grin playing across her lips.
"What's the matter, hot stuff?" she asked, her heavily-kohled eyes narrowed. "Don't think you can do it?"
"Are you kidding? Rakers is practically gagging for it."
AN: I know it's a short chapter, but it's true to form for me, and it's just an intro.
Can you guess the cliché? Points for you if you can.
Nothing for you if you can't. Gavin is in charge of handing out rewards, and he's an ass.
I will, however, give you cookies and replies behind his back if you review. :3

As those who voted for the pretty boy realize he just a better looking Hollande, another neoliberal . Macron had experienced the most rapid drop off in public support of any incoming French President will the sole exception of Chirac in 1995.
PARIS (AP) -- Emmanuel Macron's honeymoon didn't last long.
Less than three months after his election, France's energetic and image-conscious president has seen his popularity drop after announcing budget cuts, launching a divisive labor reform and engaging in a damaging dispute with the military.
A series of opinion polls last week showed the percentage of French citizens who said they were satisfied with Macron's policies and trusted their young leader to deal with the country's problems plunging. The reversal might not affect the visible international profile he has cut since taking office, but it could hurt Macron's ability to secure his ambitious domestic agenda.
France's Ifop polling agency put it bluntly: Apart from Jacques Chirac in July 1995, a newly elected president has never seen his popularity rate falling as quickly during the summer after the election."
His declining approval is striking given that Macron was being credited two months ago with giving France a boost of much-needed confidence after years of security fears and economic stagnation. Increasingly, he instead is portrayed as power-hungry and inexperienced.
The French media have started calling Macron "Jupiter," a reference to the mythological king of the Roman gods and what is perceived as the president's superior attitude after he upended France's political landscape and shot from relative obscurity to the nation's top post at age 39.

Physical Premium Principle: A New Way for Insurance Pricing
Department of Physics, Zanjan University, P.O.Box 45196-313, Zanjan, Iran
Received: 24 November 2004 / Accepted: 22 February 2005 / Published: 28 February 2005
AbstractIn our previous work we suggested a way for computing the non-life insurance premium. The probable surplus of the insurer company assumed to be distributed according to the canonical ensemble theory. The Esscher premium principle appeared as its special case. The difference between our method and traditional principles for premium calculation was shown by simulation. Here we construct a theoretical foundation for the main assumption in our method, in this respect we present a new (physical) definition for the economic equilibrium. This approach let us to apply the maximum entropy principle in the economic systems. We also extend our method to deal with the problem of premium calculation for correlated risk categories. Like the Buhlman economic premium principle our method considers the effect of the market on the premium but in a different way. View Full-Text

Video Production &
Custom Website Design & Hosting by Rick King
NOIICE: I am no longer accepting new website design clients. To Many other balls in the air to do it justice.
This website aims to provide prospective customers with information and resources related to the services I provide. I aim to be concise, but complete and cover the common issues that most customers have to deal with sooner or later. The more you know, the more efficiently we can work together.
These resources and links, which I have developed over the years, would also be a good place to start if you want to dig deeper into videography or website design as a possible career choice.
I'm a freelancer, and this is not my main source of income, so I can be choosy about who I work with, and excercise more creative freedom than mainstream creatives can usually get away with. For me it's more about art than business.
I collaborate with special clients creating website and video projects. It is important to get to know and work closely with with my clients, and end up with creations we are all proud of.
My background in art, music, photography, spiritual growth, Mac software and a former career as a design and systems engineer for NASA, Bell Labs, GTE Telnet and other high tech operations gives me many pertinent skills, tools and much creative experience to work with.
Video Production
I have a full location kit with lighting, sound gear with good quality mics and cameras for small shoots, multi-camera capability, a Macintosh based professional editing suite including special effects software, a large collection of stock music, images and footage, and can deliver or upload finished videos in most popular formats, including DVD's.
Transcoding and digitizing video and audio files or tapes are also available.
See my YouTube channel for links to some of my video work. Some of my website clients are listed below.
Custom Website Design & Hosting
I can design, host and maintain your new website, or update and maintain an existing one. I custom code in HTML, CSS, PHP, MYSQL, Javascript, and whatever else it takes. I only work in environments where I have sufficient hosting server access. WordPress, Joomla, Drupal or other such template-bound, limited interface sites will have to be migrated to my hosting service before I work on them.
All my design and video services are $50/hour with discounts for worthy, low budget, non-profit clients. Contact me for further information and bookings.
Basic hosting is $120/year, billed separately, and includes my personal support services for all hosting related issues.

Gregory Oranov
Devious Lich
Name: Gregory Oranov
Species: Lich (Does not remember what his base was)
Skin Color: None
Hair Color: None
Eye Color: Red
Gender: NA
Gregory does not choose to dwell in the past… Which is why he regularly deletes it from his mind. Gregory is the head of the Necromancer's guild and has a bit of a troubled past. The transformation into a lich nearly drove Gregory mad, so he attempts to maintain his sanity be regularly wiping his memory clean. Like everybody and their grandma, Gregory has a scheme for ruling the shadow continent. This scheme involves hitching his wagon to rising stars around the continent. Any mercs with a growing reputation he offers to sponsor in return for cheap advertising. As the heros he funds reputation grows so does that of his guild. He has recently offered to sponsor the party in return for carrying the guild symbol.

Blogging is the best! And it's totally easy to get started. Just follow a few simple steps to pick your name, set up your site, pretty-ify your pages, and start posting content.
Before you think about hosting or plugins, you need a name! I spent a good six weeks brainstorming before I settled on Life As A Strawberry. I enlisted friends and family to help me pick a name that would best represent me and my point of view. One of the biggest challenges was coming up with something original – there are SO MANY food bloggers out there already, and they've all snapped up a lot of creative names! As you make a list of name possibilities, punch each one into Google to make sure you aren't swiping someone else's concept.
You can easily check the availability of a potential domain name (and see related suggestions!) with an instant domain search.
Hosting and Setup
Life As a Strawberry is hosted with Bluehost – I registered my domain name for free and paid for two years of hosting through them for under $100. They've been awesome – great customer service to help me get started and I've never had a problem with my site. They also make installing WordPress.org software a breeze. I HIGHLY recommend them if you're starting your own website.
If you want to get your blog started for free, you can create a site through WordPress.com or Blogger. Both of these sites will provide the hosting for your site, but your web URL will look something like: www.yourblogname.wordpress.com, as opposed to a self-hosted URL, which would look like: www.yourblogname.com. It's a minor difference, but when I started my blog I decided I wanted to self-host in order to streamline the URL and make it easier for people to find.
WordPress is a popular blogging platform, and it's available in two formats: WordPress.com, which is an open-source, free-to-use software responsible for hosting many different blogs, and WordPress.org, which requires you to host your own domain name (with a company like Bluehost). A good overview of the differences can be found here. The biggest things to note are that the .com version won't let you upload your own themes, so you have some constraints as far as blog design goes. WordPress.com accounts are also not allowed to run advertisements, which means you aren't able to monetize your blog. I use WordPress.org for Life As a Strawberry, and I've been very happy with it. You're able to download or purchase a ton of different themes (or create your own!), so you have endless options when it comes to how you want your blog to look. You can also monetize a WordPress.org blog very easily.
My blog was originally designed with a free theme (it's no longer available), I used the popular Thesis Theme for awhile but honestly wasn't thrilled with it (a bit too much of a learning curve from me, even as someone who designs their own websites!) and recently switched Life As A Strawberry over to the Fun theme (which so far I like a lot!) I also moved The SSBP to its own, self-hosted site last year, where I use the Jupiter Theme (which I LOVE for the commerce and business sites I develop).
SEARCH BAR: The WordPress search bar is notoriously unhelpful, so I use free plugin called Swiftype Search. It makes the user search experience a lot better AND it gives me analytics data about what people are searching for on my site!
Protecting Your Blog
PROTECTING YOUR LOGIN INFO: If you decide to use WordPress, you'll see that the site automatically sets your login username to "admin." This can be bad – because that's the most common username on the site AND because WordPress allows unlimited login attempts, it makes it easy for hackers to try and get into your account. The good news is, it's easy to fix!
From your WordPress home page, go to the "users" tab and click "add new user." Create a new user and GIVE IT ADMIN RIGHTS (⬅⬅IMPORTANT). Try to come up with a unique username/password combo – it'll protect you better from those pesky hackers. Next, log out of your "admin" account and log back in with your new username. Go back to the "users" tab on the toolbar and delete the original "admin" account. If you have existing posts on your blog, it will prompt you after you click "delete" to choose a new account to attribute any existing posts to. Choose to attribute any existing posts to the new account you just created. Ta-da! So much safer. Now, the new account you created will be your primary login account. There's also a great plugin called Limit Login Attempts that will limit the number of login attempts that anyone can use when trying to get into your website.
BLOCKING THOSE PESKY SPAMMERS: I STRONGLY recommend downloading a good spam-blocker plugin. I didn't have one for the first few months of blogging, and I (foolishly) thought I'd be fine, but then one day I logged into my account to find 73 (!!!!) spam comments (from the same "company") had been posted on every.single.page. of my site. THE HORROR! I had to spend a good hour finding and deleting them all, and it was no.fun.whatsoever. So I downloaded Akismet ASAP. Since I downloaded their plugin, this software has blocked over 60,000 (!!!) additional spam comments from making it to my site. Yay! The way it works is that Akismet screens every comment someone tries to post, and pulls anything that registers spam into a queue instead of letting it post directly to your site. When you log on to your WordPress dashboard, you can go through the comments in this spam queue and delete them in one fell spam-busting swoop.
Bam! Blog safety: accomplished. Now we can get to the fun design part!
Designing Your Blog
I had SO MUCH FUN designing my blog. I started with a template that employed mostly neutral colors, but after a few months I did a big redesign to brighten up the blog and make it look fresher and more inviting. I still do freelance graphic design work, so if you'd like some help with your own blog logo, social media buttons, or e-book design, feel free to contact me! I always love working on new projects.
I designed the image components of my blog in Adobe Illustrator. There are other programs out there that have design capabilities, but for me, nothing beats the Adobe Creative Suite. If you don't work with Adobe, Canva is another awesome tool for graphic design! As far as installing my images on the site, I was at the mercy of some fabulous tutorials on coding for the web.
When you begin to work on the design of your blog, spend some time online researching popular blogs from other writers. You don't need to limit this search to food blogs, either – you're looking for design inspiration! Take notes on what you like and don't like – do you lean more towards bright or dark colors? What kind of navigational menu setup will work best for you – a menu on the side, on the top? I probably looked at 200 or more blogs for inspiration, just to get an idea about what type of layouts or colors I liked or didn't.

A guy cracks up.
Six new spots from Euro RSCG MVBMS Partners and Rogue Films' director Nick Jones feature nothing but laughter as people share photographs with one another. In one spot, we see a man alone at a table, laughing hysterically. Only as his friend crawls back into his seat from under the table do we realize that he hasn't been laughing alone. In another, a young man seems to be crying at first, until his face cracks into a mad cackle. Polaroid has also launched a section devoted to laughter on its website.

The constraints that building an app for something like a smartphone provide often push developers to come up with something far more innovative. Apps can be like little addictive oddities, often forcing you to ask how exactly someone could come up with the idea for it.
The Show Must Go On is most definitely that. Combining a unique art style, clever gameplay mechanics and an addictive score based structure, it is everything a gaming app should be. Easy to pick at, surprising when you play it and above all fun.
The Show Must Go On
- Format
- iOS
- Price
- £0.69
- Where
- iTunes
The idea behind The Show Must Go On is that you are in charge of putting on some sort of performance, each varies in what it requires you to do. Problem is that every single person working on the performance appears to have an issue of sorts, be it actors missing or pages of music disappeared. It is up to you to put things right, sit back and then watch your performance, which more often than not is carried out by a dog.
The concept sets you up perfectly for a set of highly inventive mini games, from things like building sets under a timer by using your finger to drive a forklift, or remembering what props go where. Each one is great fun and depending on how well you do, will contribute to the final performance you watch at the end.
The 'hub world' you use to select games is like the backstage of a theatre. You scroll to different characters and then choose a game to play. Some are of course better than others, but it is the variety and the end result that counts. It makes us think slightly of South Park, Chef's Luv Shack, back on the N64.
The audio and art direction deserves particular special mention. Characters look great and each has their own sort of 8 bit stereotype theatre goer look. Similarly the background noises used for when you are backstage sound great, as does the full blown soundtrack that hurries you on through each mini game. It makes for a rather tidy package and one of the best we have seen in the 69p price range.

Highlanders have successful softball season
Seniors step up, young players contribute
WEST MILFORD — Many times, a team that features a lot of new faces to the varsity level plays with a sense of nervousness and apprehension during the course of a given season. Let's just say that that wasn't a big problem for the West Milford High School softball program this spring.
The Highlanders finished the season with an overall record of 16-7 and they advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NJSIAA North I Group III Sectional Tournament before losing to Sparta.
"We were young in spots this season, many players never played on a varsity level before," West Milford head coach Nicole Gwinnett said. "This season's main focus was work hard, work as a team. The first game that sticks out is the third game of the season against Fair Lawn. We lost 3-2 in 10 innings, but our team became a 'team.'
"The game that got us rolling was Lakeland (a 16-6 victory) at the Darlene Dondero Tournament. We just came off two tough loses against Wayne Hills and Passaic Valley, both 2-1 games. We were 2-3 going into Lakeland. That was the turning point of the season."
Gwinnett mentioned some of the great leadership that was provided by veteran student-athletes on the roster this year.
"Victoria Torp, Meghan Szymansky and Mackenzie Porch were captains and leaders, the heart of the team," Gwinnett said. "They were determined to make us the better each game and were role models for the younger players.
"There are quite a few (players who continually improved) this year, we had no set lineup or positions set going into the first game. Each practice, we evaluated players and each game the seniors gave it their all and even though they have played on the varsity level before, they got better as the season went on. Taylor Messler was a great surprise. She led the team in batting average and stepped up on many games. Freshmen Jessica Utter and Paige Masiello, sophomores Peyton Porch, Alex Fiorenza and Erin Carter and juniors Breanna Csakvary and Samantha Mickens (all made noteworthy contributions this season)."
The spring of 2015 could prove to be successful for the Highlanders.
"We are young and have many players who have experience (returning to the team next year)," Gwinnett said

In television, in order to produce the number of episodes in a season and have them deliver on time for airing, networks/studios need to hire more than one director. It isn't necessary, however, to hire one director for every episode. Therefore, each director is assigned more than one episode to direct within the season. It can be back-to-back episodes, but it isn't unusual for directors to be assigned episodes that are not in chronological sequence. This is called BLOCK SHOOTING. Each directing is responsible for a "block of episodes" and often times, in order to save time, money and resources, they will shoot scenes from two different episode in one location. This is often applied when location are either expensive or involves long travel distance. For example, in GAME OF THRONES, they have to shoot some scenes in Iceland. It wouldn't make sense to shoot a scene from one episode, have a company move, and then come back to Iceland again for a later episode. After shooting a scene from one episode, the director we reset the scene, change out actors, wardrobe (if necessary), and shoot a scene from a completely different episode.
The advantage of block shooting is that if you have one location that's used once in several episodes, you can shoot all scenes on the same day. You pay one location fee, and you move the company to the location only once. Saves time and money. On the other hand, the disadvantage is that actors (and that means the director) have to keep track of where their characters are emotionally in different scenes shot in the same place. That's difficult, and if someone slips up, you may see reactions that make no sense for the season.

In a move the state hopes will lead to the creation of more than 1,100 new jobs, the Economic Development Authority approved incentives Tuesday for six projects under the recently revised Grow NJ and Economic Redevelopment and Growth programs.
Combined, roughly $81.9 million in incentives was approved for projects stretching from Glassboro to Hoboken. Of the approximately 1,165 new jobs the EDA anticipates the approved projects will create, 590 are retained positions and 435 are construction jobs.
"The projects approved today by the board reflect the scope of New Jersey's efforts to maintain and advance its business-friendly environment," EDA CEO Michele Brown said in a release. "EDA assistance is often a crucial first step for these projects to advance and materialize, and when they do, they spur significant economic development and job growth in our State."
The largest of Tuesday's approved incentives went to TR US Inc., a Thomson Reuters subsidiary, in the form of a seven-year, $25.9 million Grow NJ grant and is tied to the company relocating 450 out-of-state employees to its Hoboken facility as opposed to another in Carrollton, Texas. The project's estimated net benefit to the state is $123 million, according to the EDA.
Other projects approved for Grow NJ awards include:
- $13.5 million over 10 years to Liscio's Italian Bakery to advance the expansion of its Glassboro site and retain 176 at-risk New Jersey jobs and add an additional 71 new full-time positions. The state's net benefit from the project is estimated at $25 million over 20 years.
- $9.9 million over 10 years to Stoncor Group Incorporated, which trades as Stonhard, in an effort to entice the company to acquire a vacant, 132,223-square-foot facility in Pennsauken rather than exercise a lease-purchase option on its existing 11.5-acre campus in Fort Wayne, Ind. The Pennsauken facility would retain 85 employees and create 75 new full-time workers, offering the state an estimated net benefit of $25.2 million over 20 years.
- $9.1 million over 10 years to Princeton-based Sandoz Inc. for its proposed relocation to Plainsboro over another location in Pennsylvania. The project has an estimated net benefit to the state of $147.1 million and the award is tied to the retention of 292 existing in-state jobs in addition to the creation of 70 new full-time positions.
Projects approved for ERG awards include:
- $15.7 million to PRC Campus Centers LLC to aid in the advancement of an $84.9 million project on The College of New Jersey's campus in Ewing that calls for nine low-rise buildings consisting of undergraduate housing, retail space and parking. Construction on the project is expected to be completed next year.
- $7.8 million to Paterson Commons II Urban Renewal Associates LLC to advance the final phase of its 66 Gray Street project in Paterson that calls for additional residential, retail and parking space. In 2004, the development saw the completion of a high school and residential rental apartment building.
The EDA is next scheduled to meet on March 13.

Government budget cutters say they have found a way to cut at least $30 million from the cost of printing the blizzard of paper the federal bureaucracy disgorges every year.
The Reagan administration says it will close or drastically scale down operations at 130 of roughly 1,000 printing and duplicating facilities run by various federal departments and agencies by September 1984, when the current fiscal year ends.
''We are saying 'let's go after the source' '' of government forms and publications, says Joseph R. Wright, deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget. Previously the OMB had gone after the publications themselves, targeting 2,300 for elimination, among them such titles as ''How to Buy a Christmas Tree.''
The $30 million savings figure represents the difference between having material printed in government facilities and the lower cost if the work is farmed out to private firms. The OMB says the savings could rise to $50 million as more plants are shuttered in coming years.
''The majority of (each agency's) presses are being operated at around one-third of capacity and are producing routine printing work at a cost of more than three times that charged by commercial printers,'' says Public Printer Danford L. Sawyer Jr.
In one extreme case, it cost an unidentified federal agency $64.09 for every 1,000 pages it printed in-house, while the work could be performed at a Government Printing Office facility for $8.81. The GPO, Uncle Sam's main printer , will not be affected by the cutbacks.
While the savings are sizeable, they represent only a tiny fraction of the government's estimated $1.4 billion annual bill for in-agency printing.
After transfers and retirements, some 550 federal employees risk losing their jobs as a result of the cutbacks. The Printing Industries of America, an industry trade group, has offered to help find jobs for the displaced workers. ''We are an industry facing a severe skill shortage,'' says Benjamin Y. Cooper, senior vice-president of the PIA.

I don't know why but I have always loved how once April has arrived, so does a wealth of early flowers and the clouds of bloom on the fruit trees. One of my favourite tiny flowers that makes the pathways smell almost like 'dolly mixtures,' a sort of heady and very sugary sweet perfume, is Little Dorrit. Pretty, tiny four-petal parcels of syrupy florets which explodes with scent in every direction. They are a remarkable plant and will grow just about anywhere. Simply scatter the seeds wherever there is just a suggestion of a scrap or crumb of soil and they will sprout into the healthiest of plants within a few weeks. They self-seed so once you have them you have a flower-friend for life!
Little Dorrit, Sweet Allysum, Alyssum maritimum, Lobularia maritima. This wonderful cottage garden plant is often called other names depending on which region of the world you are from. Other names include Alison, Allysum, Dorrit, Rockery Allysum, Sugar Allysum, House Maids ..
If you look very closely you should be able to see an almost microscopic creature that is on one of the small petals.

First Wave of Rape Kit Testing in Detroit Yields IDs of Possible Serial Rapists
As officials in Detroit, Michigan are beginning to test rape kits that have been sitting in police and crime lab storage facilities—some for decades—DNA evidence has already linked to multiple possible perpetrators. The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office has identified 21 potential serial rapists from the first 153 kits that the crime lab tested and entered into CODIS, the national DNA database, according to news reports.

The 400 Project Leads to Multiple Charges Against Detroit Man
During a 2010 audit of the Detroit crime lab, which was shut down in 2008 due to testing irregularities, officials discovered approximately 11,000 untested rape kits in Detroit storage facilities. Following the discovery, a collaborative team of law enforcement officials, prosecutors, researchers and victim advocates came together to work toward eliminating the backlog.

Governor Jerry Brown has returned Assembly Bill 322 to the California State Assembly without his signature. AB 322 would have established a two-and-a-half-year pilot program to test all rape kits in ten California counties that make arrests in fewer than 12% of reported forcible rapes.

New Case in Illinois Is a Deeply Troubling Reminder of the Importance of Testing Rape Kits
A corrections officer in Illinois has been charged with sexually assaulting a 10-year-old child in 1997 after a rape kit that was part of a backlog in Harvey, Illinois was finally tested. The case is another powerful and deeply troubling example that every untested rape kit represents the failure to bring justice to a survivor and to protect the public.

At TechEd 2006, currently under way in Boston, Microsoft announced its upcoming Microsoft Forefront brand and announced the launch of ISA Server 2006.
The Forefront brand will include solutions for the clients, servers, and network boundaries. Ted Kummert, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Security, Access and Solutions Division, said "\[Forefront will\] integrate with existing infrastructure and simplify the task of managing and controlling IT security and access. The first Microsoft Forefront products will be Forefront Client Security - formerly Microsoft Client Protection - \[which is\] scheduled for open beta in the fourth quarter of this year." Kummert added that Forefront Client Security is currently in private beta testing and the company anticipates formally releasing the product in Q2 2007.
Forefront Client Security is designed to unify malware protection for desktops, laptops, and servers. Based on feedback from private beta testers, Microsoft made enhancements to Forefront Client Security's state assessment scan and single profile configuration. The state assessment helps determine which machines need patches or adjustments to security settings and single profile configuration simplies policy implementation. Forefront Client Security relies in part on data collected from Microsoft's Malicious Software removal tool.
Microsoft plans to release new versions of Microsoft Antigen for Exchange and Microsoft Antigen for SharePoint, to be rebranded as Forefront Security for Exchange Server and Forefront Security for SharePoint, in the same basic timeframe as the upcoming Exchange Server 2007 and Office 2007 launches.
ISA Server 2006 was made available as a release candidate version in February 2006. The newly launched version includes several improvements over ISA Server 2004, including the ability to more easily publish sites for SharePoint, Exchange, and load-balanced Web servers as well as better support for certificate integration. The latest release also includes improved authentication support, new single sign-on capabilties, streamlined connectivity for branch offices, the ability to mitigate packet flooding attacks, and other improvements .
Microsoft will eventually release a Forefront version of its ISA Server product, which according to the company's roadmap will make its debut sometime in 2007. While Kummert didn't say specifically, Whale Communications' technology, which Microsoft is in the process of acquiring, could play a major role in the development of the next version of ISA Server.

I'm probably not the original intended audience for The Notebook. I know that. But who is the intended audience for The Notebook? Is it jerks? It must be jerks. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with liking The Notebook, but there's kind of something wrong with liking The Notebook, you know? I mean, this movie is actual garbage. It doesn't pluck at your heartstrings so much as it barfs on your diarrhea-strings. It would be one thing if The Notebook was a made-for-Lifetime movie, which it basically is, I guess, but also it is not. It is a movie that was in movie theaters, and that was an actual cultural event at a certain point in our collective history. Whoops on us! In the future, when the planet is covered in water, and we are sitting on our hover-porches with our future grandkids, we are going to have to explain a few things: our selfish abuse of the environment, Ke$ha, and why anyone ever thought The Notebook was even remotely watchable, much less actually romantic. Three EQUALLY DIFFICULT subjects.
The Notebook (which is basically The Green Mile but slightly less realistic) is based on the Bathroom Novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. The story takes place in two time periods: 2004 (but an alternate 2004 in which no one has any idea how Alzheimer's works) and flashbacks to the 1940s. In 2004, two old people (James Garner and Gena Rowlands) are living in a nursing home. James Garner is like "let me read you this story," and Gena Rowlands is like "I've got Alzheimer's, but OK, let's spend all fucking day listening to this story that there is basically no way I am going to have the attention span or the memory retention to absorb." The story that he reads her is a miserable love story, I mean really just one of the worst. It's about this rich girl (Rachel McAdams) who starts dating this poor boy (Ryan Gosling) for no real reason other than apparently she is into guys who think a fun time is lying in the fucking road, and who act like they are going to date rape her if she just gives them a chance. Then they fall in love, again for no reason really. One time she pushes ice cream in his face? You know how love is. But then they break up after he just barely gets the tip in because her parents are SO mean and the boy is SO poor. While she goes off to college, he goes to war, and his best friend, a Hollywood manager named E, dies.
When Ryan Gosling comes back, his dad is like "I took a loan out from the bank and sold my house so that you could buy a piece of shit disaster of a house instead of going to college, it just seems like a really smart investment." And somehow actually it is a smart investment, because the boy turns the shitty house into a nice house and now he builds chairs in the garage and he is rich? I guess I don't know a lot about the 1940s economy.
Anyway, Rachel McAdams is engaged to get married to another rich boring person who is equally boring and rich. But right before the wedding she sees a picture of Ryan Gosling standing in front of his house looking very "Bartender at a Speakeasy in Greenpoint" (FUN FACT: in the 1940s, if you renovated a house, you made the front page of fucking NEWSPAPERS apparently). She decides to go down and see him, just to say hi. Good thinking! (Meanwhile, the two old people break for lunch, and also break for James Garner to mention how many heart attacks he has had in the past few months, I'm sure that won't come up again later, though, so forget it.) Anyway, they FUCK. Like, hardcore up against the wall raw dogging it. You know how the 40s were. That is why they call them The Roaring Fuckies. Anyway, now Rachel McAdams doesn't know WHAT to do. Should she go back to her boring fiance who is so boring, or should she stay and marry Ryan Gosling, who is so…well, he's not that poor anymore, so I don't even know what the problem is. He's got a fucking mansion and all he does is hang out with ducks all day. But she is torn! Then her mother is like "one time I was in love with a poor person, and I have regretted marrying a rich person ever since." HAHA. Good grief.
Meanwhile, back in 2004, this movie continues to pretend like there is some kind of suspense over who the old people are? (I suppose that was a clever use of casting, because it IS true that James Garner and Gena Rowlands look NOTHING like Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling.) IT'S RACHEL MCADAMS AND RYAN GOSLING! BUT OLD AND SICK! So anyway, apparently every time that James Garner gets to the end of this story, Gena Rowlands remembers that she is Rachel McAdams or whatever, and they dance for five minutes before she goes back to being a total Space Case (clinical term for someone suffering from dementia). Oh boy.
And then James Garner has a heart attack. And then they both die.
So many things to get mad about! Where to even begin!
First of all: I would like to point out that I am as open to emotional manipulation as the next person who is VERY VERY OPEN to emotional manipulation, and I full expected to cry during this movie whether I actually liked it or not, because I had heard about people (read: women) crying a lot during this movie, and it is a love story, and who doesn't love love stories? So it is a testament to just how bad this movie is that I did not cry at all. The opposite. (Tears went inside my body? Also: yuck, sorry.)
One of the main reasons that I did not cry during this movie is because WHAT IS THERE TO CRY ABOUT? Rachel McAdams's and Ryan Gosling's love story is the most two-dimensional parody of a third-grader's concept of "love" that I have ever seen. The only thing they ever talk about is how much they love each other. What a boring relationship! Even at the end, after lives fully lived, as they dodder around the old folks' home, here they are still, reading this goddamned book about how one time they fell in love. SUBSCRIBE TO SOME MAGAZINES OR SOMETHING! GET SOMETHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT!
Like, what the FUCK is THIS:
How romantic? Lunatics!
And what is Ryan Gosling's problem? I mean, I know what it is like to have your heart broken, I am a human being with genuine emotions. But eventually you need to pick yourself up off the fucking floor. I'm sure Rachel McAdams was like "it is so attractive how you seem to have had some kind of nervous breakdown following an adolescent summer relationship and spent the rest of your life working towards some kind of developmentally stunted fantasy world." Yuck.
But while the love story may have been nothing but cliches and banalities (we know that Rachel McAdams is interesting because she "paints"), the scenes in the senior home were just outright BONKERS. I'm not saying that I am a professor of Alzheimer's Science, but based on my personal experiences with a close relative who suffered from dementia, you go in and out of clarity and awareness at seeming random, NOT BASED ON WHERE YOU ARE IN THE STORY YOUR HUSBAND IS READING YOU. Speaking of that story: I love that it deals with every minor detail ("and then he was in the garage, making a chair, and she came in and looked up, and he looked down, and he came down the ladder, taking a break from his work on the chair, but he would get back to his work on the chair later") of their courtship and then ends abruptly and never deals with anything that happened in the 60+ years that followed, including their actual LIVES TOGETHER, or the BIRTH OF THEIR CHILDREN, or the BIRTH OF THEIR GRANDCHILDREN.
Nice family:
You know how families are: always lying to mentally unstable moms because that is better for dramatic effect. What the fuck is wrong with this family? She is the one who doesn't always remember who you are, not the other way around, SO PICK UP THE SLACK, SHITHEADS. I just want to mow this family down. With bullets.
Throughout the movie, James Garner keeps insisting that the doctors are wrong, and that it isn't futile for him to keep reading this notebook to Gena Rowlands, because he believes in miracles. And at first I was a little worried that the ending of this movie was going to feature Gena Rowlands' magical recovery from her degenerative illness because of this stupid notebook. But that is not what happens. What happens is even more amazing. James Garner crawls into bed with her, and she asks if their love can create miracles (because of all of a sudden she remembers who she is no problem), he says yes, and she asks if they can go to heaven together, and he says sure. AND THEN THEY DIE.
That IS a miracle. Thank you, God. I hope they are in hell.
Next week: City of Angels. As always, please leave your suggestions in the comments or in an email. And if you haven't done so already, please consult the Official Rules.

Sen. Alexander Announces Healthcare Hearing
According to U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the U.S. Senate health committee will hold bipartisan healthcare hearings in September on how to repair and stabilize the individual health insurance market. Meanwhile, a group of 40 lawmakers from both parties in the U.S. House has endorsed an outline of ideas aimed at making urgent fixes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
"If your house is on fire, you want to put out the fire, and the fire in this case is the individual health insurance market," said Alexander, who is working with U.S. Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) to make the hearings bipartisan. "Both Republicans and Democrats agree on this."
Congress would have to formulate a solution before Sept. 27, when insurers sign contracts with the federal government over what insurance plans to sell on the federal exchange for 2018. Sen. Alexander also called on President Donald Trump to continue making cost-sharing reduction payments to insurers.
Although the individual markets remain fragile, a new report by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) shows the number of 'bare' counties – those counties with no insurer participating in the ACA exchanges — has been reduced significantly. That number has dropped, from 47 counties with no coverage at the beginning of June to just 19 counties with the latest report released on Aug. 2. That represents a reduction of 59.6%.

OH NO!!! THE VIDEO DID NOT COME OUT WELL SO I AM NOT POSTING HERE. WATCH WHAT YOU CAN AT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElPrh8DjTLY
LONG STORY SHORT - One should never drive past Yankee Stadium during a game. EVEN WORSE while they play a very important playoff berth battle with the Boston Red Sox. Should not even drive anywhere in a 10 mile radius. So we are navigating the streets as a team. Almost hitting scalpers and traffic cops. one officer is waving us to go. i mean getting pissed that we are not moving, while a black car/limo is literally inches in front of us. etc etc etc
WATCH PART TWO - As the drama unfolds, Spero fears I might have to use his bathroom.
Joke on him I really did not have to go... Joke on me, Spero got out of the car 1 block early just in case so I could not run up. Hope to see folks at the TIMES SQUARE COMEDY CLUB this weekend. CLICK HERE for $5 ticketsHappy to report that as I publish this Yankees look to be headed for a win. 8-3 without any sign of giving up....
Did you hear the Irish Tenor - you know, the big guy with glasses and Ears that pick up radio waves from space, a cross between the monster son from goonies and humpty dumpty - sing GOD BLESS AMERICA. So they switch to Gulianni while IT (Irish Tenor) sings intro. On a really sour note, Gulianni winces to a point you would think he just crapped his pants - As if the former mayor sucked on a lemon at the same time it squirts in his eye. And it was bad - really bad - and that honest normal response from Rudy was priceless. So I dedicate the following Video to Spero who must have been thinking of me watching a fat guy sing like he was choking on a ball park frank.
