Starbreeze Discusses Syndicate, Defends it as a First-Person Shooter
Starbreeze and EA have been getting quite a bit of flack from the gaming community ever since they announced their new FPS set in the Syndicate universe. The studio's CEO Mikael Nermark recently addressed concerns regarding the game's genre, defending the team's decision to make it a first-person shooter.
Speaking to Gamasutra, Nermark explained:
We'd been asked by EA – they came to us, and this is what we know; this is where our expertise lies. So that's why we made it an FPS. You have to trust your own skills and realize what your strengths are. I think we did that, and I'm extremely proud of the studio and the guys working on the team. But it's definitely a hard genre to be in, no doubt.
When we look at any project, when we look at any games, we don't look at genre. We don't look at it like we're making a game; we're making an experience for the player which is competing with whatever he or she would do – spend time with loved ones and things like that.
So we have to make a great experience so that you think it's worthwhile playing our games. If we put shooting in our game, it has to be top-notch shooting, and it has to be competing there, and it has to be right for the game. If it's driving, it has to be right for the game.
I'm not saying that, if we do a shooting game, we have to go and compete with the Battlefields or Call of Dutys, but we have to have the right kind of shooting for the game we're making. So we don't look at it from a genre perspective anymore.
Let us know what you think about the upcoming futuristic FPS – and whether or not you plan on picking it up this February – in the comments below.

Genetic Connection to Diabetes Risk Overestimated
Genetic Connection to Diabetes Risk Overestimated
Genes are not as useful at determining type 2 diabetes risk as are traditional risk factors such as weight, age, and gender, according to a new review in this month's issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology. Researchers analyzed data from 23 studies and determined that genetic testing may have a place for some people, perhaps younger populations, but that compared with conventional risk factors, genetic testing is not as useful as some had previously thought.
Some traditional risk factors for diabetes are easily mitigated with dietary and other lifestyle interventions. See PCRM's resources at PCRM.org/Diabetes.

The Language of Race
"The suspect is described as a thin, black male, 20 to 30 years old, about 5 feet 8, who probably uses a bicycle to cruise neighborhoods."
–March 1998
The description in the local newspaper was like so many others, so familiar that anyone who has ever read a headline or watched the nightly news could finish the sentence after knowing only the first few words.
It was the sort of description that passes for information in too much of American journalism today, part of a dysfunctional racial discourse that doesn't always mean what it says and seldom says what it means.
Language is the brick and mortar of the profession, transmitting in a single word, phrase, or juxtaposed fact countless intended and unintended messages to readers, listeners, and viewers. A sports headline declaring that "Indians extend Boston's massacre" may not have intended to evoke the racist stereotype of the savage American Indian, but it hurts just the same.
Excellent journalism starts with an understanding that language has power. It demands clear writing. It leaves little to chance interpretations.
But the mangled language of race is punctuated with descriptions that underscore ethnicity but describe nothing. It is mired in euphemisms and the tortured, convoluted syntax that betray America's pathological avoidance of straight talk about race relations.
Put it all together and you get stereotypes, dangerous misinformation, half-truths, and daily proof that when it comes to race, journalists are chained to habits that defy the cornerstone principles of solid journalism.
And that's the point. Journalists who can't connect with the myriad moral reasons to reform the way they write and report about race and race relations don't have to look further for their motivation than some of the core values that undergird the profession: Accuracy. Precision. Context. Relevance.
You won't find euphemisms on that list.
Yet, "urban" (a sociological term), "inner city" (a geographic term), and "blue collar" (an economic term), are employed to connote race and ethnicity. "Minority," a numerical term, is often used when the journalist actually has a specific racial group in mind, allowing for the ridiculous oxymoron, "majority minority." "Poor" is euphemized as "disadvantaged" and often used as a synonym for people of color.
Consider the way race, class, and fashion are handled in the following paragraph from a story about teen-agers' love affair with brand-name clothing:
"Incongruous as it seems, designer names that once were best known among the traditional preppy set are now the highly coveted "must have" items of black teen-agers all over the country." –March 1995
What does "traditional preppy" mean? If you used the dictionary's definition ("A student or former student of a private secondary school that prepares students to enter college."), "preppy" and "black teen-agers" would not be as "incongruous" as the writer says. More likely, the writer meant "white and well-off" when she wrote "traditional preppy." The reader might be forgiven for seeing more than a fashion statement in the text.
The paragraph, like the story, carries with it several assumptions that could be challenged for accuracy and completeness, two of the cornerstones of solid journalism. How might the story change if the reporter asked the question, "What am I trying to say?"
Ask that question about the description at the end of this story about an Orange County, Calif., man accused of posing as a doctor and "treating" patients in a clinic:
"Police believe Moreno worked at the First Street clinic for at least a year, with his partner Rafael Garay. The clinic primarily served Hispanic families." –April 1998
Why is it important for the public to know that the Orange County clinic served Hispanic families? Or what about a December 1997 story about a Florida woman shot in her jewelry store that said "her husband arrived and reported that the 28-year-old Vietnamese woman had been murdered." Why is it relevant to say that the woman was Vietnamese?
The thing is, race often has relevance in stories. It's just that the relevance goes un— explored and unexplained. In both cases above, it's easy to imagine reasons for using ethnicity or race. Perhaps the Orange County clinic was serving recent immigrants whose English was poor and whose tenuous status in the community made them more susceptible to scam artists. Maybe the Florida woman was a Vietnam native working toward American citizenship.
But maybe not. Who knows? Neither story provided the context that solid journalism demands.
What the public is left with is a story that singles out a person's race or ethnicity for no apparent reason, harkening to a day when the reason was racism. That's why the practice of using race to identify people, as journalistically unsound as it often is, generates so much emotional heat.
It's about history.
White-run news organizations historically used racial identifiers to distinguish the person from white people. If you were not white and you were in the news, your race would be mentioned. It was that simple. An example from the archives of a southern newspaper under the headline, "Harm Escaped by Bed Smoker":
"Ivory Jefferson, Negro, 31, Beaumont, Tex., truck driver, told police he was awakened about 5 a.m. Friday by a combination of heat, smoke, and the clanging of a fire bell." –December 1959
Black people, like American Indians, Asians, and Latinos, were regarded as a "separate society," a retired southern newspaper editor once told me. So it was natural to identify them by race so that white readers would know the story wasn't about white people. The use of race had nothing to do with the details of how a person looked. All that mattered was that they were not white.
Racial identifiers were used to selectively support beliefs in white supremacy. They were used to call attention to the criminal, immoral, or threatening acts of other racial and ethnic groups to demonstrate that the stereotypes about those groups were true. In many American newsrooms, things only began to change in the early 1970s.
The most benign effect of that practice was to separate people of color from the white mainstream. The more malignant, lasting effect–in the media and beyond–has been an unfounded but unshakable connection between people of color and social pathology. It has contributed to some of America's most destructive acts of prejudice, from white flight in neighborhoods and schools to injudicious police stops of men with black, brown, red, and yellow skin.
That is why people continue to anguish over using identifiers. Journalists who understand this historic habit worry about contributing to the stereotypes and prejudices to which the practice plays.
Because this is about hurting people, it is an ethical and moral issue. But the larger point here is that it is imprecise to describe someone as black. Or Latino. Or white. Or Native American. Or Asian.
Or "local."
That's all a Hawaiian newspaper frequently offered its readers to help them picture the hair, eyes, skin color, lips, and ears of a native Hawaiian suspect:
"The man, described as a local male wearing a tan shirt and a white baseball cap, fled in a brown Ford Thunderbird driven by another man." –May 1998
Racial identifiers do carry information–about geography, about bloodlines, about heritage. But they don't describe much of anything.
What, for example, does a Hispanic man look like? Is his skin dark brown? Reddish brown? Pale? Is his hair straight? Curly? Course? Fine? Does he have a flat, curved nose or is it narrow and straight? Telling the public that he's 5-foot-8, 180 pounds, with a blue shirt and blue jeans says something about the person's appearance. But what do you add to that picture when you say Latino?
And what is black? It's the color of pitch. Yet, the word is used to describe people whose skin tones can cover just about every racial and ethnic group in the world, including white people. What does the word "black" add to the mental picture the public draws? How do you draw the lips? The eyes? The nose? What sort of hair does a black person have? What color skin does a black person have? The combinations are infinite.
All racial and ethnic groups do share some common physical characteristics. Still, we don't see the phrase "Irish-looking man" in the newspaper, though red hair and pale skin are common Irish characteristics. Would a picture come to mind if a TV anchor said, "The suspect appeared to be Italian"? Couldn't many of us conjure an image if the police said they were looking for a middle-aged man described as "Jewish-looking."
There are good reasons those descriptions never see the light of day. They generalize. They stereotype. And they require that everyone who hears the description has the same idea of what those folks look like. All Irish-Americans don't look alike. Why, then, accept a description that says a suspect was African-American?
"The two suspects were described as black men in their 20s. One was about 5-7, the other between 5-8 and 5-10." –May 1996
Too many newsrooms brag that they've solved the problem of racial identification by requiring other "distinguishing marks" before they'll allow race to be used as a descriptor. A scar on the cheek. A gold tooth. A tattoo. None of that addresses the myth that race describes how someone looks.
Think about it this way: In order for everyone reading, watching, or listening to the story to conjure up the same image in their mind's eye, they must all share a common understanding of what a Latino person looks like. In other words, people who are Latino would have to look alike. Except for the scars, gold teeth, and tattoos.
Here is an alternative: If journalists told their audience that the suspect was about 5-foot-8, about 165 pounds, with caramel-brown skin, wavy, dark brown hair about an inch long, thick eyebrows, a narrow nose, thick lips, and a light mustache, people could pick me from a lineup of men whose skin and face were different from mine. Nobody would need to know my race. It wouldn't matter if I was descended from Africans, spoke Spanish, worshipped Allah, lived on a reservation, or called a Hawaiian woman mother.
And every Latino man in America would not be implicated in a crime because the newspaper printed a description such as this one:
"She said he was a white or Hispanic man wearing a red cap and shirt." –June 1996
Unless the story is specifically about race–the Jasper, Texas, case, for example–race has little descriptive value in a story. Colin Ferguson's murderous subway ride was about race. Tiger Woods' dispute with Fuzzy Zoeller was about race. The struggle of biracial people to be recognized on the Census is about race. A suspect description is about how a person looks.
Journalists need to challenge the presence of racial identifiers and their euphemistic disciples in every story. Demand more from the people who give vague, meaningless descriptions, just as you do whenever a politician gives vague or meaningless information. Ask, "What do you mean?" when someone speaks in euphemisms, just as you do when doctors or rocket scientists lapse into jargon. Ask the question of relevance whenever race appears in a story. Say what you mean and say it clearly.
It'll add up to fairer treatment of people of color and could even help the public talk more openly and directly about race. That's a noble goal whose roots run much deeper than the modern debates about so-called political correctness that greet stories like this one.
The roots are in accuracy. Precision. Context. Relevance. That's not PC. It's solid journalism.

Target Employees Need To Learn Their Own Price-Matching Policy
Jared asked Consumerist to contact Target on behalf of him and all frustrated price-matchers, figuring that we were likely to get a quicker answer from a higher authority than he was. Turns out he was right, and the customer service representative and trainer of his local store were wrong. He writes:
My local Pet Supplies Plus stores are currently running a sale on Fancy Feast 24 packs, which is what my girlfriend and I primarily feed to our three obnoxious cats. These cases of mystery meat typically run between $12 and $14, and Pet Supplies Plus currently has them listed in the ad for $6.99. Since we were at one of our local Target stores today, we went in with a copy of the ad to avoid having to make another trip.
We picked up a few cases of cat food and went to the customer service desk to have them do the price match. When we arrived, we were told by the CSR that he didn't think they were allowed to price match competitors that required a loyalty/rewards type card in order to receive a discount. He called his trainer, who also told us they were not allowed to match the price because of this. Conveniently, they couldn't find anything in writing that confirmed or denied this.
I understand that they are probably just following orders handed down from their store manager or district manager, but considering how many stores have some sort of loyalty program with sale prices tied to that program, this would pretty much exclude them from matching anything. Upon coming home and reading the price match policy Target has posted on their website, I decided to write in and hopefully get some clarification regarding this issue.
The only stipulation Target lists concerning any type of membership card is clearly addressing prices found in warehouse clubs, as seen here.
We passed Jared's question on to Target's media relations department, and they agree with Jared. They write:
All of the details of the policy, including any exclusions, are listed on our website at http://www.target.com/pricematch.
Under the exclusions, it is listed that Target does not price match "Paid membership club or paid loyalty programs (e.g. prices that require a club or loyalty card that is associated with a membership fee)."
That includes not only warehouse clubs like Costco, BJ's, and Sam's Club, but store loyalty cards that charge an annual fee, like those from Sally Beauty Supply or The Body Shop. Target employees probably wouldn't know this offhand, but that isn't the case for the card at Pet Supplies Plus.

If it is raised, the brain is further in development, and it would be harder for legally aged kids at parties and in college to supply alcohol to minors. Also, the more it is raised, the more likely the consumer would have a family, which lowers the chance for binge drinking.
The age for legally consuming alcohol should be kept the same and not raised. 21 is the highest age in the world for legally consuming alcohol. It would not make sense to raise it higher than 21. People are already adults by that age, and they must be responsible for their action.
Depending upon where one is that age for drinking is either 18 or 21. Raising the age would do nothing because young people who want to get alcohol have always and will always manage to get it. So really what we need are laws that penalize one for drinking and driving more than they do now.

This was supposed to be the first of 82 game day articles about the Nashville Predators. This was supposed to be the most anticipated game since the Predators knocked the Red Wings out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season. This was supposed to be opening weekend hockey and yet here we are with no games and no progress.
On this sad day for hockey fans, we at The Predatorial thought we would try to lighten the mood and highlight some of the best opening night games for the Predators since the last lockout. Of course the first opening night in 1998 will always be the #1 choice for every Predator fan, but in this run down we want to see how the Predators have fared on opening nights since the 05-06 season.
Incredibly, the Predators have a 5-2-0 record on opening night with losses to Chicago and St. Louis. This might have been an omen to what would have been tonight's contest against the Detroit Red Wings as Nashville doesn't have as much luck in season openers against Central Division opponents unless they are Columbus.
In the season opening wins, the Predators boast many firsts with newly appointed personnel.
In the 05-06 opener, newly signed free agent Paul Kariya scored his first goal in a Nashville sweater while Scott Hartnell scored the GWG in a hap-hazard wrist shot from the blue line with just over 4 minutes left in the game.
In 07-08, the opener saw Nashville blowout the Colorado Avalanche by a score of 4-0 with newly christened Captain Jason Arnott scoring 2 goals and Chris Mason earning his 9th career shutout.
The 09-10 season started out with a nail-biter in Dallas that would go to a shootout. Dan Ellis kept the Predators in the game with 38 out of 40 shots stopped and who could forget the sweet five hole shot by Santorelli to seal the win for the Predators.
The 10-11 season got started off right with a 4-1 drubbing of the Anaheim Ducks where Steve Sullivan had a two-point night and a kerfuffle left Rinne reeling at the beginning of the third period to be relieved by Anders Lindback who would go on to play the next 7 games for the injured Rinne posting an amazing 4-0-3 record.
Last season started with the Predators playing two road games back to back which two of my best friends were lucky enough to attend and get their faces plastered on T.V. for their efforts. Against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Predators would hang on to win 3-2 with Ryan Suter having a multi-point night and rookie Craig Smith netting his first NHL goal. Rinne also reportedly played through the flu as this was a sign to come for the "flu" being the reason for exemplary play in a game (see: Kevin Klein flu).
So, what are some of your favorite opening night games (Predators, other teams, etc.)? Tell us about it in the comments section and be sure to follow us on Twitter @ThePredatorial and @Preducated.

I worked on my digital comic at my place and did great job on my Desktop PC Win10 and Adobe CC. I tweaked all artwork colors right, my system is by default calibrated but when I was testing my artwork on other device, my Windows Phone I saw that my digital comic main character have quiet different colors of his toon face.
I was wondering and thinking that would be great if Adobe create some color calibration tool for all mobile digital devices or better say all "digital display" devices.
I wanna that my future online readers have same impression and same experience through whole world.
I know for PDF usage but this time is about simple jpg picture which I wanna to look same on all digital screen devices. PNG cant do the job, cause some SMART TVs with ability to view pictures or browse the web simply not have support for PNG images, those SMART TVs can see and display only jpg pictures.

Jimmy over at Livin' La Vida Low-Carb has a post about how low carb or Atkins causes "rage" in people.
I've never experienced it. In fact, I wrote about how controlling your blood sugar actually decreases fits of anger in a much earlier post.
However, at least low carbers are open to asking people if they have experienced anything like it! In fact, Jimmy has another post about how a researcher is going to monitor the brain activity of people who low carb. Science will either refute or confirm the assertion that eating low carb starves the brain of vital nutrients. (You know where my bets are.... But after the study, it won't be as much fun to go after news articles like this one because they couldn't write them!)

Facebook Finally Removes 'Kill Kendall Jones' Page
This morning I received a notice that the horrible 'Kill Kendall Jones' page had been removed.
The Texas Tech cheerleader who garnered national attention after posting pictures of animals she had darted or taken during safari, was the target of hate filled posts from lefties and animal rights whack-jobs wishing for her death. There was even a Facebook page created called 'Kill Kendall Jones', which many reported and demanded it be taken down.
Initially, Facebook refused, but after mounting pressure and outcry from rational members, the page was taken down.
The fact that people threatened the young woman over her pictures is amazing and sad to me. These same people don't bat an eye when eating a hamburger and never give a dime to conservation efforts, but will post death threats, while ignorant of how these hunts actually help species flourish. They condemn something they know absolutely nothing about, with a self-righteous furor mainly seen in ISIS recruitment videos.
Regardless, my advice to Kendall is to keep her head up and keep doing what she's doing. If these kinds of people hate you, you're doing something right.

2013 Week 3 NFL Picks
September 21, 2013 | Neil Parker
Here are our 2013 Week 3 NFL Picks. To start the season, we've been awful, but after poking around the inter-ma-net I noticed that there hasn't been a lot of success anywhere. On CBS only Jamey Eisenberg has a winning record against the spread. Obviously, he is my opponent in my FSWA matchup this week too.
Jason Willan has already outlined his Survivor Picks and Adam Cook has his weekly Lock, Toss Up and Underdog Set below. Jon "Mr. Checkdown" has the skinny on going to big on the Seahawks spread and I've scoured the lines and have a couple more picks.
I'm wishing you all the Fantasy Football success this week and some fun with our 2013 Week 3 NFL Picks.
Neil's Three and Out
Cleveland Browns at Minnesota Vikings
Cleveland has packed it in, apparently. So you should back the Vikings in what should be an easy victory.
However, the Browns' defense is no joke and it isn't like the Vikings are an offensive juggernaut. Adrian Peterson aside, of course. So don't expect things to get ridiculous. The Browns might be able to find a way to post a few points, which might place anything beyond a 7 point win in risky territory.
All being said, the Browns have a cast of unproven and unheralded players on offense and even the mighty Willis McGahee and reinstated Josh Gordon aren't capable of helping enough to win.
Adrian Peterson and the Vikings by 7 or more.
Green Bay Packers at Cincinnati Bengals
I expect this to be among the best games of the weekend. The Bengals were a favorite early season pick of mine, to both make the playoffs and win 9 games, but I knew their schedule wasn't favorable in the early going. Green Bay will be the ultimate test.
The Packers have been explosive on offense aren't going to be stopped often. The Bengals defense is good and could be great when it counts the most, but limited Aaron Rodgers and the Packers doesn't look probable. The Packers' Wide Receivers are in tune with Rodgers and they can put up 30 points against anyone in the league.
The Benagls' offense is what scares me. I expect them to slow down the Packers to a degree, but can they put up 24 or 27 points to win? I haven't seen enough from anyone not named A.J. Green to suggest they can win in a shootout. Giovani Bernard is special too, but it'll take a few more games before I fully believe in him.
Packers by 4, but straight up is the safest option.
Chicago Bears at Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh is on the decline and with two checks in the loss column you'd have to expect a huge effort from the Steelers. But, will that be enough to slow down the Bears on offense firstly and secondly, can they score enough to win?
Chicago has fought hard to be 2-0 and certainly haven't been a force, but they are undefeated and have all the pieces to strong together a strong season. They're averaging 3 turnovers a game already and are posting over 27 points per game. The Steelers have scored 9 and 10, with only the Giants being worse on the ground.
This is a different Steelers team than we've become accustomed to in recent years. The jury is still out on how good Chicago is, but they're good enough to pass this test.
Da Bears are in a class above the Steelers, get them by 3 before the line moves.
Adam's 'Real' 'Fake' Football Predictions – LTU Style
Lock of the Week : Minnesota Vikings over the Cleveland Browns
The Seahawks over the Jaguars would be too easy and I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing how lopsided this game really is. The Browns trading away Trent Richardson this week was their latest move to try and get the #1 pick in the NFL Draft. Brian Hoyer is starting for the first time in a long time so I am not expecting the Browns to put over 17 points. The Browns defense can keep them in the game, but there is no way this team can pull it out in the end. This could be one of those Adrian Peterson games when he goes bananas and rushes for 200 plus.
Toss Up of the Week: Detriot Lions at the Washington Redskins
The Lions are the better team so far in 2013, but I don't see the Redskins starting out 0-3 and losing two straight home games. This game could be really fun to watch with Matt Stafford and RG3 lighting up the scoreboard. Reggie Bush could be the X-factor. If Reggie Bush plays then he could push the Lions over the top. Let's toss a coin: Heads = Redskins, Tails = Lions. The result is….tails! The Lions by a field goal.
Upset of the Week: San Diego Chargers over the Tennessee Titans
The Chargers and Phillip Rivers have looked surprisingly good this year. The Titans have as well though. They both narrowly lost to the Texans. However, the Titans win over the Steelers doesn't look that impressive now and the Chargers beating the Eagles was shocking. The Titans are favored at home by about a field goal, so give me San Diego this week. Stay hot Phillip!
Have a Beef with Adam's picks? Let him know on Twitter.
Jon's Set the Spread
In my days as an NFL degenerate I've never seen anything quite like the spread on Seattle vs. Jacksonville this week. For Pick 'Em and Survivor pools things are quite simple, you're all over the Seahawks at home, write it in pen, don't blink, move on.

Prepare the blackberries: Combine the blackberries, sugar and cassis in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then crush with a fork.
Meanwhile, make the caramel sauce: Combine the cream and vanilla pod and seeds in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat.
Whisk the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium nonreactive saucepan over high heat. Cook until dark golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and slowly add the vanilla-infused cream (it will splatter), stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Return to the heat and cook until smooth. Remove from the heat, discard the vanilla pod and stir in the butter and salt.
For each sundae, place a scoop of ice cream in a parfait glass and top with caramel sauce, blackberries and pecans. Repeat 2 more times and top with whipped cream.

Camden School District Launches New Neighborhood Partnership
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Just days before the Sept. 2 opening of schools, the Camden School District is joining forces with the Center for Family Services in the Landing Square neighborhood to give parents more resources to help their children.
Camden Superintendent Paymon Rouhanifard says the partnership is the first of what he hopes will be four centers to help parents connect with the school district and a host of services that will help them to better support their children.
"It's really a one-stop shop, any questions, any issues they can come here and trouble-shoot with trained staff members. Second, we're going to be able to offer education-focused courses and workshops so English as Second Language, resume-building workshops, things of that nature," Rouhanifard said.
Merillee Rutolo, Chief Operating Officer for the Center for Family Services, says the center provides a safe, pleasant environment for parents and she's looking it as a win-win for their youngsters.
"We believe that kids will succeed and will be most successful educationally if their parents can really support them," Rutolo said.
The school district will be funding the program and providing staff and other support.

- Wedding: November 2013
Hey bees,
I'm 12 weeks pregnant with our first baby. Destination Wedding and I live in Sydney and we're heading to my hometown (in Missouri) for a vacation over Thanksgiving, when I'll be 22.5-26 weeks pregnant. Stuff in the US is SO much cheaper than here in Sydney, so I want to take advantage of that by purchasing as much baby/pregnancy stuff as I can, and bringing it back with me.
I'd really like recommendations for things to buy, keeping in mind I have to fit it in my checked luggage. So far I have things like Lanisoh cream, nursing pads and bras, Sophie the Giraffe, Aden + Anais wraps, Tide sticks (glamorous lol). Anything you think are great must-haves.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated! Thanks 🙂

The Hon-dō at Shin-Yakushi-ji
|Basic information
1352 Takabatake-chō, Nara-shi, Nara-ken
|Kegon sect
|Yakushi Nyorai
|Architectural description
|Empress Kōmyō
Shin-Yakushi-ji (新薬師寺) is a Buddhist temple of the Kegon sect in Nara, Japan. It was founded in 747 by Empress Kōmyō. Initially a large complete Shichidō garan temple, it suffered from fire damage and deteriorated during the Heian period. The temple was revived during the Kamakura period. Only one building, the present main hall or Hon-dō (本堂), has survived from the 8th century. All other structures date to the Kamakura period.
Shin-Yakushi-ji owns several cultural assets. The Hon-dō, the principal image of Yakushi Nyorai and eleven statues of the Twelve Heavenly Generals have been designated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of the government of Japan as National Treasures.[1][2]
The shin, atarashi (新) in the name is usually translated as new. In the case of Shin-Yakushi-ji however it is said to have the meaning of miraculous (霊験 arataka na). Yakushi refers to the principal image of the healing Buddha Yakushi Nyorai. Besides the veneration of Yakushi Nyorai, there is no connection to the famous Yakushi-ji which is also located in Nara.[2]
According to records at Tōdai-ji, Shin-Yakushi-ji was founded in March 747 as Kōyaku-ji (香薬寺) by Empress Kōmyō wishing for the recovery of her husband, Emperor Shōmu, who suffered from an eye ailment. She had a large nine bay temple hall (Kon-dō) built and statues of the Seven Buddhas of Healing (七仏薬師 shichibutsu yakushi) enshrined in it. Such statues were thought to be efficacious against the evil spirits of dead political figures.[3]
Together with the Yakushi Nyorai, statues of attendants Nikkō Bosatsu and Gakkō Bosatsu, and groups of Twelve Heavenly Generals were enshrined in the main hall or Kon-dō. Next to the Kon-dō an east and a west pagoda were erected. In those early days more than 100 monks were studying at the temple. There were living quarters for the monks and many other structures. It was a complete seven-structured temple, a Shichidō garan covering around 200,000 m2.[4]
In 780, 33 years after the foundation, many buildings were destroyed by fire which was caused by a thunderbolt. When the Kon-dō was destroyed in the mid Heian period, another building, today's Hon-dō became the main hall of the temple. It is thought that this building used to be the refectory (食堂 Jiki-dō).[4] The Twelve Heavenly Generals surrounding the main image of Yakushi Nyorai were transferred to the hall from the ruined Iwabuchi-dera (岩淵寺) located not far from Shin-Yakushi-ji on the foot of Mount Kasuga.
In the Kamakura period the priests Jōkei (貞慶) (posthumous name: Gedatsu Shōnin) and Myōe restored the temple after the general decline. Around that time today's East Gate, South Gate, belfry and Jizō Hall were built.
The main hall, or Hon-dō (本堂), from the 8th century, Nara period is the oldest extant structure at Shin-Yakushi-ji and one of the oldest wooden buildings in Japan.[5] However it was not designed as the main hall of the temple. The Kon-dō from the time of founding differed from the present main hall in size and its position within the temple grounds. Until about the mid-Heian period the two structures coexisted.[6] During the Kengen era (1302–1303) the Hon-dō was thoroughly restored.[5]
The construction features a large hip-and-gable irimoya style roof and white washed walls. Inside thick pillars placed on the dirt floor carry the roof. The open ceiling which used to be painted red, leaves the sheathing beams and rafters visible. There is a stained glass window in the east wall of the hall. The Hon-dō has been designated as a National Treasure and houses the main image of Yakushi Nyorai surrounded by a group of Twelve Heavenly Generals.[2][3]
South Gate[edit]
The South Gate (南門 nanmon), an Important Cultural Property, is the oldest extant example of a four-legged gate (四脚門 shikyakumon). It was built during the Kamakura period at the end of the 12th or the beginning of the 13th century. Gates in this style only appear in high ranking temples or Imperial Palace gates, thus indicating the former status of Shin-Yakushi-ji. The four posts of the gate have very wide chamfered edges and are placed on a platform of unhewn rocks.[2][3]
East Gate[edit]
The upper parts of the main pillars in the East Gate (東門 tōmon) are split in two, held by solid-board frog-leg struts (板蟇股 itakaerumata).[3] This unusual style points to a construction date in the early Kamakura period. The gate has been designated as Important Cultural Property.[2]
Jizō Hall[edit]
The Jizō Hall (地蔵堂 jizō-dō), an Important Cultural Property, takes its name from the image of the deity Jizō that would have been enshrined in this building. It is a small 3.05 by 3.05 metres (10.0 by 10.0 ft) construction in Japanese style (和様 wayō) from the Kamakura period. Currently an image of the Eleven-faced Goddess of Mercy is enshrined in the building.[2][3]
Built in 1279, the belfry (鐘楼 shōrō) is another structure from the Kamakura period and a designated Important Cultural Property. The building features a flared, skirt-like lower portion, also known as hakamagoshi (袴腰) style, which became popular in the late Heian period and thereafter.[3]
The bell, an Important Cultural Property, is reportedly the hanging bell of the belfry (釣鐘堂 tsuriganedō) at Gangō-ji and dates to the Nara period. It is famous through the story of an ogre which is told in the Nihon Ryōiki.[2] According to this legend, in the Asuka period there lived an Oni in the belfry at Gangō-ji who was tormenting the people. The Oni, known by the names Gagoze, Gagoji, Guwagoze (元興寺) or Oni from Gangō-ji (元興寺の鬼 gangō-ji no oni), was the spirit of a villainous manservant of the temple. One day, a child with superhuman strength who had joined the temple, decides to kill the ogre and lies in wait in the belfry. At early dawn the Oni appears; the child seizes the Oni by his hair and drags him around. At dawn, the Oni had lost all his hair and takes to flight.
The child chases after him but loses him at a crossroad. Later, the superhuman child enters priesthood and becomes the monk Dōjō (道場法師 Dōjō hōshi). After the belfry at Gangō-ji burns down, the bell is transferred to nearby Shin-Yakushi-ji. The scars on the bell are said to be the fingernail marks of the Oni. The area around the crossroad at which the Oni lost his pursuer has been named fushin ga tsujichō (不審ケ辻町) and the place he turns into hiding Mount Kion (鬼隠山 kionzan), literally: Oni hiding mountain.[2]
Yakushi Nyorai[edit]
The 191.5 cm, Heian period seated Yakushi Nyorai is the principal image of Shin-Yakushi-ji. He is placed on a huge (9 m diameter, 90 cm high) circular platform (Dais) which almost entirely fills the Hon-dō.[7] Together with six small Buddha images (化仏 kebutsu) on its halo, the main statue forms a group of Seven Buddhas of Healing (七仏薬師 shichibutsu yakushi). Yakushi Nyorai is protected by Twelve Heavenly Generals arranged in a circular fashion around it facing outward.
The present image is probably not one of those that had been installed in the original Kon-dō and were made in a hollow dry lacquer (脱活乾漆造 dakkatsu kanshitsu zukuri) technique. However, there are conflicting theories concerning the origin of the present statue. It might have been carved in 793 together with the reconstruction of the temple after fire damage.[8] Generally it is considered to be a work of the end of the 8th century and a good representative example of early Heian period wooden sculptures. It is cut from a single Hinoki tree and neither paint nor lacquer have been applied to the wood except for some colour to indicate facial features. Distinctive are the protuberant lips, well defined curls and large nose. The eyebrows painted in black are narrow and acute. His right arm is lifted showing the Mudra of no fear (Abhayamudra) while his left arm rests on his leg with the palm of his hand turned up holding a medicine pot.
During an investigation in 1975, eight scrolls of the Lotus Sutra from the early Heian period were discovered inside the body of the sculpture. The scrolls have been designated as National Treasure.[2] [3][6]
Twelve Heavenly Generals[edit]
The Nara period, roughly life-size standing group of Twelve Heavenly Generals from 729–749 is the oldest extant in Japan. It was made of unbaked clay and originally colored. The skin was salmon color. Beards were drawn with ink, cloths and armour painted in bright colors and gold foil applied in places. Not much of the original decoration remains. The statue of Haira was damaged in an earthquake at the end of the Edo period and replaced by a wooden statue in 1931.[6] As protective deities of Yakushi all twelve generals are placed in a circle surrounding the main image of Yakushi Nyorai. Eleven of the twelve statues have been designated as National Treasure. The image of Haira from the 20th century is excluded from the nomination. There are two different mappings of names to individual statues in place. In the following the first name is the one used by the temple. The second name, in parentheses, is as assigned in the National Treasure nomination.
The twelve statues in counter-clockwise order starting at the front right (south east) are:
- Bazara (Meikira): 162.9 cm, with hair standing on ends and an open mouth as if crying out. He holds a sword in his right hand.
- Anira (Anira): 154.2 cm, wearing a helmet and holding an arrow with both hands. He scrutinizes the nock of the arrow. As a whole he appears rather plump compared to other statues like the one of Meikira.
- Haira (Kubira): 159.5 cm. The original clay statue was damaged in an earthquake at the end of the Edo period. The present statue is wooden and dates to 1931. It is not a National Treasure. Haira is depicted wearing a helmet, holding a bow and arrow.
- Bigyara (Bigyara): 162.1 cm, brandishing a pestle with three prongs at each end (三鈷杵 sankosho), a type of vajra, in his raised right arm. His left hand rests on his waist. Some color is visible on the back of his armour.
- Makora (Makora): 170.1 cm, carries an axe in his right hand. His left hand rests on his waist. The hakama falls below the knees, covering his shin armour. The area around his neck is covered by a cloth.
- Kubira (Shōtora): 165.1 cm, has his right elbow raised to shoulder height, carrying a sword in his right hand. The tip of the sword is pointing at his left hand which is formed to a fist. Remains of a flower pattern are found on the skirt like garment (裙 kun), and the gold ground on the armour shows a pattern of small plates.
- Shōtora (Santera): 167.6 cm, his right hand with spread fingers resting on his waist and a sword in his left hand pointing down. His wild hair standing up is bound together in a topknot. One of his eyes is dark blue the other dark brown.
- Shintara (Shintara): 165.5 cm, holds a sacred gem in his right hand and a staff in his left hand. He is standing on a sandbar shaped dais (洲浜座 suhamaza). The shin armour features a flame pattern painted with ink on gold ground.
- Santera (Antera): 161.8 cm, is leaning on a trident with his right arm. His head is slightly turned to the left and his left hand rests on his waist. There is a shigami (獅噛) ornament of a biting lion on his shoulder armour. The posture is similar to that of Indara.
- Meikira (Indara): 159.5 cm, with his right hand resting on his waist and the left arm raised high with the palm turned outward. His left leg is bend. He is standing on a sandbar shaped dais (洲浜座 suhamaza).
- Antera (Bazara): 153.6 cm, wears a helmet with small curved panels on the left and right sides of the rim. He is carrying a fly swatter (hossu) in both hands in front of his left shoulder. His facial expression is peaceful.
- Indara (Haira): 155.2 cm, wears a helmet with two curved panels on the left and right sides of the rim and a visor. He carries a trident in his right hand while the left hand rests on his waist. The posture is similar to that of Santera.[2][6]
Bazara of the group of Twelve Heavenly Generals was featured on a 500 yen postage stamp. In a collaboration between Shin-Yakushi-ji and the Department of Buddhism at Minobusan University, the whole group of Twelve Heavenly Generals was scanned in three dimensions in 2001 and 2002.[7]

The five biggest stories from an enthralling week of golf worldwide
By Keith Jackson, Golf Editor
Last Updated: 25/01/16 4:58pm
Rickie Fowler upstages the major champions in Abu Dhabi, slow play and shorts are the talk of the Tour, while Phil Mickelson makes an encouraging 2016 debut in the California desert. Here's the five big talking points of the week ...
Big Three thrill Abu Dhabi
The organisers and sponsors of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship certainly got their money's worth. Having four of the world's top six players in the field is one thing, but to have one of them win and the other three in the top five?
Despite early-morning fog disrupting play twice, the tournament enjoyed more than its fair share of outstanding golf and, after a marathon Sunday, it was Fowler who upstaged the three men ahead of him in the world rankings to claim a magnificent victory.
The build-up to the first event of the Desert Swing understandably focused on the seasonal return of Rory McIlroy as well as world No 1 Jordan Spieth making his debut in Abu Dhabi. Fowler and Henrik Stenson were expected to play second fiddle, but both finished ahead of Spieth with Stenson sharing third with McIlroy.
Credit to Spieth for his professionalism throughout the week, obliging the sponsors requirements, interacting with the swathes of fans and putting in a battling performance (three 68s) despite struggling with jet lag and a misfiring long game.
McIlroy's first outing after a nine-week break proved encouraging for the year ahead, and the galleries were treated to a pair of eagles at the 18th from the four-time major champion. Only two players had managed a three at the last on Sunday, and McIlroy's sublime finish in fading light extended his interest in the tournament until Fowler chipped in for birdie at 17.
Stenson battled a swollen knee (he had keyhole surgery on December 9) and a sore foot and played the last four holes in nine under, but the week ultimately belonged to Fowler as his composed final-round 69 clinched a one-shot win over big-hitting Belgian Thomas Pieters.
Fowler's ability to produce the goods under pressure shone through. He bounced back from a double-bogey at the seventh by holing from a bunker for eagle at the next, and his chip-in for birdie at 17 prompted cheers that matched those for McIlroy's eagle at 18.
Not bad for a guy who, barely nine months ago, was allegedly voted one of the most over-rated players in the world!
Are new slow play measures tough enough?
The Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship heralded the start of the European Tour's tougher new regulations designed to combat slow play, and there probably would not have been much talk about it had the first man to be penalised not been called Jordan Spieth.
It was an adventurous week for the world No 1 on his Abu Dhabi debut. He teamed up with Fowler to beat McIlroy and Stenson in the "Rider Cup Desert Challenge", but his opening 68 was marred by a "monitoring penalty" after he took a minute-and-a-half over a birdie putt at his penultimate hole.
Spieth claimed the penalty "made no sense", as his marquee group were not out of position and the three-ball behind had only just struck their tee shots at the par-five eighth.
McIlroy agreed with Spieth, but chief referee John Paramor was having none of it, arguing that - regardless of position - Spieth far exceeded the recommended time limit of 40 seconds to strike his putt ... which missed!
Another transgression in a European Tour event will result in Spieth being fined £2,000. To put this into context, the 22-year-old earned in excess of £2,500 for every shot he played in 2015!
While it's refreshing to see Keith Pelley and Co toughing their stance on slow play, the paltry fine is hardly a deterrent for a vast number of modern-day Tour professionals. How long will it be before shot penalties are introduced?
Shorts in the news
One of the more popular innovations announced by the European Tour last week was approving the wearing of shorts in practice rounds and pro-ams this season.
Ryder Cup skipper Darren Clarke got the ball rolling when he obtained permission for his European players to wear shorts during practice for the recent EurAsia Cup in hot and humid Malaysia. The European Tour's tournament committee unanimously voted in favour of the proposal to relax the dress code in preparations for events in 2016 - a decision greeted with widespread approval from a majority of players.
Ian Poulter spoke for a number of his peers when he tweeted: "It's 2016 not 1990. Get rid of the stuffy old rules that hold golf back. Make it more fun everyone."
Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth were among those in favour of being allowed to wear shorts during tournament rounds, but the R&A will not allow competitors to ditch the long trousers in preparation for this year's Open at Royal Troon, although they will consider it for the future.
An R&A statement read: "We welcome initiatives that ensure golf remains modern and relevant to today's generation of players, but we do have to maintain a balance with the traditions of the game. While we already have our conditions of entry for the 145th Open at Royal Troon, this is something the Championship Committee will consider in future.
It would certainly be a pleasant dilemma to have if the weather here in mid-July is sufficiently warm for shorts to be desirable
R&A statement on shorts
"It would certainly be a pleasant dilemma to have if the weather here in mid-July is sufficiently warm for shorts to be desirable."
But there are certainly no immediate plans for the PGA Tour to follow suit. Spokesman Ty Votaw said: "We are aware of the European Tour's change in policy, but the PGA Tour's policy remains unchanged. Players are required to wear long pants when playing practice, pro-am and official competition rounds."
Mickelson back with a bang
While Jason Dufner collected his fourth PGA Tour title after a thrilling finish to the CareerBuilder Challenge, Phil Mickelson made a welcome return to action - and form - in California.
Mickelson made his first start since October's Presidents Cup after spending much of the winter undergoing a swing revamp with new coach Andrew Getson, and there were plenty of positives for the veteran left-hander.
Despite insisting he was still "one or two weeks away" from feeling comfortable with his new swing, Mickelson produced one of his best driving displays in recent years and finished in a creditable tie for third on 21 under par.
It was his first top-10 finish since last June, his best finish in the tournament for a decade, and he carded only three bogeys in 72 holes - far from the swashbuckling player that has made him a fan favourite. But the "Mickelson magic" was still in evidence as he holed out no fewer than four times from off the green.
It is tough to remember the last time Mickelson hit so many fairways with the driver, and he will now have renewed confidence that he can conquer Oakmont and capture that elusive US Open title in June.
DeChambeau clanger
American amateur Bryson DeChambeau was much talked about in Abu Dhabi. The 22-year-old led the star-studded field after an opening 64, and the extra attention on him revealed a few stand-out intricacies.
He calls himself the "Golf Scientist", and has had every iron in his bag made the same length as his six-iron. He also dunks his golf balls in Epsom Salts to determine which ones might be slighted flawed.
However, his etiquette was seriously questioned towards the end of the third day, shortly before darkness forced play to be suspended following two straight early-morning fog delays.
Andy Sullivan, who led by two at the time, blocked his drive on the ninth and his ball careered towards the water. However, nobody was able to clarify if his ball had found the hazard, so players, caddies, officials, spectators and on-course commentators began searching a number of bushes close to the edge of the lake.
Rory McIlroy and his caddie joined in the hunt for Sullivan's balata, but DeChambeau remained in the middle of the fairway with his bagman sizing up his second shot in the fading light.
The search proved fruitless and resulted in Sullivan having to head back to the tee to put another ball in play, and he would soon slip from two ahead to one behind after running up a triple-bogey seven.
To his credit, DeChambeau soon tweeted an apology claiming that he "assumed Andy's ball was in the water". He held his hands up and admitted he made a mistake, one which he will probably never make again.
Two off the lead at halfway, he fired 78, 72 to finish in a share of 54th. Did a guilty conscience have a part to play?

India and Sri Lanka clash in the 2011 World Cup final in Mumbai on Saturday in what will be the 10th title match in the tournament's history.
AFP Sports looks at the previous nine finals:
June 21, 1975
West Indies beat Australia by 17 runs
- West Indies captain Clive Lloyd (102) became the first batsman to score a century in a World Cup final, helping his side post 291-8. Australia were 233-9 before the last-wicket pair Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson added 41. The fightback ended when Thomson was run out. Viv Richards's fielding led to three of the five run-outs.
June 23, 1979
West Indies beat England by 92 runs
- The West Indies rode on Richards's brilliant 138 not out to reach 286-9. England failed to force the pace and were bowled out for 194. Their last eight wickets fell for 11 runs, with paceman Joel Garner doing the damage with 5-38.
June 25, 1983
India beat West Indies by 43 runs
India, who had won just one match in the previous two editions, stunned the West Indies when they successfully defended a modest total of 183 by dismissing their opponents for 140. Indian medium-pacers Madan Lal, Mohinder Amarnath, Balwinder Sandhu and Roger Binny all bowled well and captain Kapil Dev swung the match in his team's favour when he superbly caught Richards.
November 8, 1987
Australia beat England by seven runs
- The match will be remembered for England captain Mike Gatting's ill-timed reverse-sweep that led to his dismissal at a crucial stage. Allan Border's Australians did not look safe after scoring 253-5 as England were 135-2 at one stage. Gatting (41) attempted a reverse-sweep off Border, an occasional left-arm spinner, only to give wicket-keeper Greg Dyer a simple catch before his side were bowled out for 246.
March 25, 1992
Pakistan beat England by 22 runs
- Pakistan captain Imran Khan's instructions to his team to fight like "cornered tigers" produced the desired results as they won their last five matches, including the final against Graham Gooch's Englishmen. Imran led from the front, top-scoring with 72 to help his side post 249-6. England faltered against leg-spinner Mushtaq Ahmed (3-41) before being all out for 227.
March 17, 1996
Sri Lanka beat Australia by seven wickets
- Sri Lanka comfortably chased a 242-run target, playing as if they had to settle a score with Australia, who had refused to play their opening game in the island nation due to security reasons. Aravinda de Silva's superb 107 not out and skipper Arjuna Ranatunga's clever use of his spinners were the highlights of Sri Lanka's win.
June 20, 1999
Australia beat Pakistan by eight wickets
- Australian leg-spin wizard Shane Warne virtually reduced the final to a no-contest when he grabbed four wickets in what turned out to be his last World Cup appearance. Pakistan were bowled out for 132 before Adam Gilchrist smashed a brisk half-century in Australia's emphatic win.
