Sonic CD Review
- Flawless presentation; rock solid framerates and crisp graphics.
- Both US and Japanese soundtracks included.
- Plenty of extras; unlockable features (Tails), time attack mode, and universal executable.
- 'Reboot' required when exiting game to main menu; unnecessary waste of time.
- Virtual controls still can't compete to physical ones.
If you're a fan of Sonic games and you haven't finished Sonic CD you owe it to yourself to check out this title - scratch that... if you're a fan of platformers, this remastered version is something you need to own.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
Lucky were those who owned a games console in the 90s - luckier still were those who had access to multiple consoles. However, at least growing up, it was rare indeed to find someone with a decked out Genesis complete with CD drive. As such Sonic CD was only ever enjoyed in bursts at retail stores and despite ports to other platforms, it was never quite a complete experience. Enter one Christian Whitehead, a proof of concept on the iPhone and after two years we now have access to the penultimate version of this game.
Except there's still one tiny problem - the touch screen.
Rebuilt almost entirely from the ground up, Sonic CD for iOS is a complete marvel, with levels blitzing their way past at lightning speeds featuring no slowdown in the process despite the frantic and complex 2D visuals. It's a visual feast made all the more amazing thanks to the game's time-traveling premise.
After deciding to visit a strange land that appears only once a year, Sonic comes across Dr. Eggman's (Robotnik) plan to steal all of the time crystals it contains. And so the usual premise of collecting gems and defeating Eggman is once again justified, however there's a new twist - upon collecting 'Past' or 'Future' tokens, Sonic can shift through time (should he build up speed and hold it for long enough) reaching past, present and future incarnations of the zone. In order to gain the 'good' ending, Sonic needs to travel to the past to destroy a hidden robot manufacturing machine in every zone - collecting all 7 time zones by opening portals at the end of a level with 50 rings does much the same thing automatically.
The reason this is so amazing is in how it affects the game's level directly, with future versions of the area becoming more robotic, dangerous and trap filled if left untouched, or reaching a 'utopian' alternative with relatively few enemies or traps if you clear Eggman's machines. The visuals and background soundtrack change to reflect shifts in the era, making for a dense aesthetic feast.
And yes, for those wondering both the US and the Japanese soundtracks have been included and can be switched via the options.
The only weak link in the chain is the controls. Despite the responsive virtual pad and very generously sized jump button, it's all too easy to have Sonic jive away uselessly while you attempt to spin - familiarity makes things easier, but it can't replace the certainty of physical controls and is a flaw in Sonic CD's otherwise perfect recreation.
If you're a Sonic fan who has been craving a serious platforming title, you'd do well to dive in to this spectacular feast; however if you're one of those who demands utter perfection from their controls, you may want to wait for the Live Arcade or Playstation Network release.
DescriptionSonic travels to the distant shores of Never Lake for the once-a-year appearance of Little Planet - a mysterious world where past, present, and future collide through the power of the Time Stones that lie hidden within it.
Sonic arrives only to find the once beautiful world imprisoned beneath a twisted metallic shell. His arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman, has come for the Time Stones and with them, will soon have the power to control time itself!
In order to put an end to Dr. Eggman's nefarious schemes, Sonic must use the power of Little Planet to travel through time; breaking Dr. Eggman's hold over the future by destroying his machines in the past and recovering the missing Time Stones!
Featuring Retina Display, achievements, leaderboards and both the US and Japanese soundtracks, experience the epic adventure through time that introduced the world to Amy Rose and Eggman's most evil creation, Metal Sonic.

May 5, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Continuing its commitment to the community, the Yale athletic department hosted 30 third and fourth graders from nearby Dwight Elementary School for a special day with Bulldog student-athletes recently. Members of the Yale field hockey, baseball, football and men's soccer teams all participated in the event.
The day began with a tour of the Yale campus, including stops at Sterling Memorial Library, Old Campus and a classroom. The students then played games such as basketball, kickball and volleyball in Payne Whitney Gym's Lanman Center. After lunch, the Yale student-athletes spoke to the Dwight Elementary students about the lessons they have learned about life as a student-athlete, encouraging all of them to attend college.
Yale assistant field hockey coach Abby Ostruzka is a teacher at Dwight Elementary and helped plan the event.

Kembe X – Soundtrack II Armageddon Lyrics
Hear the ruckus up in heaven
Weapons preparing for your presence
Yeah, Soundtrack II Armageddon
Some see it as a blessing
Burdened with the curse of a million dollar dream you had deemed to be precious
Middle of a dream, heard I'd
Activate my Third Eye
Cold world when you feel you got a message
Look up in the sky, full moon never dies
Nigga never minimized, but I take it as a lesson
It's ruckus up in heaven
Weapons appearing for your presence
Yeah, Soundtrack to Armageddon (4x)
They busting through your doors with them AKs
Handguns, Tecs, what you doing with them melees
Randomest exes is calling you with babies
You plan for the best, dear God come and save me
What you ran from in Texas is what you now chase
The salt that you dealt is the shit you now taste
And the future that you dread is the shit you now face
In a circle full of goons, still be feeling out of place
Filling out papers and pamphlets of job descriptions
Hate from your mans, that's an odd prescription
Take from the hand they dealt you, cause the man that felt you
Works hard at an awkward distance
Niggas scoff, but listen
We're blowing in the wind, heard all this was coming to an end
Fist in the sky with my dogs and my kin
Vision of a schizophrenic, heard it all from a friend
[Verse 2]
You a lick and a stain
A simp and a lame
Got a limp and a cane
Like a pimp in the rain
From the PENT through the flames
The COST of it all
HOLLOW tips hit his ribs as he fall
Through the hole in the earth, in the brains
Of the governers that's running us
All to a pit full of pain
When life gets hard, devils might get tall in the dark
All who have sinned full of shame
Shit hits the fan
You hit the fanny
You get some fans
You hit the Grammy's
You get the Benz? Oh it's your Granny's?
It gets you friends?
It killed your family?
Oh it depends? Depends on what lil nigga
Look up, man your plans all fucked lil nigga
Hold up, put it all on luck
Feel bigger with the cash so that's all y'all trust lil
It's ruckus up in heaven
Weapons appearing for your presence
Yeah, Soundtrack to Armageddon (4x)
[Verse 3]
Oh you sing and you rap at the same damn time and the broads all love it?
You believe it can happen, but ain't got time to hear all y'all fussin
Oh you decent
It change with the season
A death come and go
So you save your bereavements
You stressed on the low
Cause they hate for a reason
It takes one to know one
I guess what I mean is
It's all in your head, well ain't it?
I pray it is
Terrified shit'll end like they say it is
Look inside, the remains of my pride
Glow bright, sun-like
So I take for the keeping
Hate for the reaper to come so soon
Never seen 18 how is one so doomed
Vibe with my moms, feel it from your womb
Getting signs from the gods, spell it on your tomb
It's ruckus up in heaven
Weapons appearing for your presence
Yeah, Soundtrack to Armageddon (4x)
Kembe X Soundtrack II Armageddon Lyrics

If circumstances have changed that you believe could affect your child support order, you can contact the OCSS and request a review of your case for a possible modification.
You will be given a form and instructed to complete it and return it along with current financial documents or other documents that would support your claim.
Your case worker will conduct a review to determine if the change is substantial enough to warrant a modification.
A substantial change means a change in your circumstances that would affect your child support order by 10%, higher or lower.
Modifications allow orders to stay up-to-date with changes in circumstances by:
- Increasing or decreasing the amount of child support being paid based on changes in either parents' income;
- Preventing high arrears from accruing in situations where the original order is based on out-dated financial information;
- Re-directing child support payments when the custody of a child changes.
If you want your order reviewed, you must submit a Request for Review in writing to the OCSS. Please be aware that if a modification of your order is required, it might increase or decrease the amount of support you receive or pay.

Today I had an idea to reduce the need for funcall in a Lisp-2: allowing some parameters of a lambda-list to be bound in the function namespace. So you could write, for example:
- Code: Select all
(defun map (#'fun ls)
(if (null ls)
(cons (fun (first ls))
(map #'fun (rest ls)))))
Here is an implementation for lambda and defun (there are other lambda-list-using forms that would have to be covered, of course):
- Code: Select all
(defpackage :sharpquoteful-lisp
(:use :common-lisp)
(:shadow :lambda :defun)
(:export :lambda :defun))
(in-package :sharpquoteful-lisp)
(cl:defun function-form-p (x)
(and (consp x)
(eq (car x) 'function)))
(defmacro lambda (args &body body)
(let ((args-g (gensym))
(arg-alist (mapcan
(cl:lambda (arg)
(cond ((function-form-p arg)
(list (cons arg (gensym))))
((and (consp arg) (function-form-p (car arg)))
(list (cons (car arg) (gensym))))
(t nil)))
`(cl:lambda ,(sublis arg-alist args)
(cl:flet (,@(mapcar (cl:lambda (pair)
`(,(cadar pair) (&rest ,args-g)
(apply ,(cdr pair) ,args-g)))
(cl:defmacro defun (name args &rest body)
`(setf (symbol-function ',name) (lambda ,args ,@body)))
;; Examples.
(shadow 'map)
(defun map (#'fun ls)
(if (null ls)
(cons (fun (first ls))
(map #'fun (rest ls)))))
(defun hack (ls &optional (#'act #'print))
(dolist (i ls)
(act i)))
(print (map #'sqrt '(1 2 3 4 5)))
(hack '(1 2 3 4 5))
(hack '(1 2 3 4 5) #'princ)
One problem with this is that it makes it impossible to have an optional parameter named 'function' and specify a default value (since #'foo expands to (function foo)). It could be extended to work with let too (but similarly it might not interact very well with the (let (x y z) ...) form); this would unify let and flet. What do you think?

On July 31st, I'll have the honour of hosting the 17th edition of the food blogging phenomenon Is My Blog Burning? Created by the eminent Alberto of Il Forno, IMBB brings together dozens of bloggers from around the world each month to cook dishes with a common theme.
The event has been the inspiration behind many other wonderful food blogging events including Sugar High Fridays, Wine Blogging Wednesdays, Paper Chef, Does My Blog Look Good in This? and of course the eccentric End of Month Egg on Toast Extravaganza.
For July, I'm delighted to announce that the theme will be… tasteTea!
Let me clarify. tasteTea, as in a tasty dish of your choice prepared with tea.
Any dish or drink that's made with tea qualifies. On the weekend of July 31st, simply post an entry about your tasteTea dish on your blog, and e-mail me a link to it at [email protected]. Beginning August 1st, I'll profile 10-15 entries each day until we've looked at them all. Hopefully this will give each entry a bit more exposure than normal, and will prevent me from going insane if there are many entries.
Everyone, whether you're a food blogger or not, is welcome and encouraged to participate. If you need a place to post your entry, I'd be glad to host it for you.
For many of us, tea is very much a ritual in our lives. Often it's not so much about the tea itself, but the events with which we associate tea with. As an optional part of this month's IMBB, I'd like to invite you to share with us your own tea rituals and experiences. Depending on the number of participants, I'll either link to your entry as part of the main round-up or do a separate mini tea rituals round-up.
I'm very excited about hosting this month's IMBB, and I look forward to reading everyone's entries. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me or leave a comment.
Now, let's get brewing!

TV show host Johnny Canales, who discovered numerous Tejano artists including Selena y los Dinos, was honored by senators at the Texas Capitol Thursday.
His show, which debuted in 1983 and returned to airwaves after a few years' hiatus, has been integral in promoting the state's diverse culture, legislators said during a ceremonial resolution.
"Your program gave us pride in a culture and in an art," said Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., D-Brownsville. "Your program kept us grounded in our roots and who we are."
He closed his comments with Canales' signature phrase, "You got it! Take it away!"
Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, said Canales campaigned with her during her first senatorial race in 1986, and credited him with at least a few votes. Wearing a colorful striped, fringed jacket featuring a sequined eagle on the back, Canales stood with his wife, two daughters and sister while senators praised him Thursday.
"He is a person of character, of strength, and a person who stands up for what he believes in and always does what he believes is right," Zaffirini said. "We love you so very much for everything you do."
DISCLAIMER: Canales was gracious enough to pose for a photo with a certain reporter after he was honored, adding, "It's Thursday, so it's free."

Re: O'KANE/Mullen
In reply to:
Judithe Coburn 8/05/09
Hello Judithe:
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,800,000 surviving rcds for abt 70% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800. Cos. Donegal and Derry were recently added to the database.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 30%.
Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.
Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).
For Pat(rick) O'Kane B 1829/M 1870, Co. Armagh, with the father's forename unknown, I found 0 rcds for these years, or in a narrow range around them.
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Evelyn's school hosted an art show this afternoon and evening. All students in the school (grades 3-6) had one piece of work displayed; the students chose their favorite piece from everything they have made so far this year. Evelyn chose "Night Time Birch Trees," which she is pointing out in the picture below. Both girls really enjoyed walking through the hundreds of art pieces, looking at the various projects. Congrats on this year's art show, Little Peanut!

Dwarf Fortress is one of the most complex and rewarding games on the PC. Problem is, it's also ugly as sin and nigh on inaccessible to most gamers. This new game seeks to change this.
It's called Survivors of Ragnarok, and it exists solely to take the core experience of Dwarf Fortress and transplant it into something less hostile to the average gamer. The dwarves are still there, the building is still there, and the management is still there, but only now instead of ASCII art all over the place, there's an adorable little 2D pixel world.
Those keen to take a look — and remember, DF is the game that was "doing" many elements of Minecraft before Minecraft was doing them — there's a very rough alpha build available here.

This vintage teapot, sugar and creamer each come with their own little aluminum cozy. The bottom is stamped in green with what looks like "Regal Design", "877448" and are marked "Made in England". All of the cosies are marked "Made in England". I purchased this little set at an estate sale so I am not sure on their circa, though I believe them to be older. All three pieces have some crazing but no chips or cracks...
This very unique and colorful teapot comes with 2 cups. The teapot is white speckled with yellow and adorn with a vivid and bright reddish orange, green and blue. This was purchased in New Mexico. From what we can tell is one of a kind so I do not know the age of this set. The teapot stands approximately 7 inches tall with the lid and is 5 1/2 inches wide, it holds 8 cups. The cups are 2 1/4 inches tall and 3 1/4 inches in diameter. It is in excellent condition, no cracks or chips.
This jade colored ginger jar is accented with a copper colored swirl and gold highlights over the entire jar and lid. The jar is approximately 8 1/2 inches tall and 5 1/2 inches in diameter. I found this in an antique store and fell in love with it. The bottom is marked "PAN" and "93." It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks.

The role of Violetta will instead be sung tomorrow night by Ailyn Pérez, who performed as Verdi's heroine earlier in the run. She previously appeared as Violetta on The Royal Opera's tour of Japan in 2010 when Ermonela Jaho was taken ill during the show, delivering a performance acclaimed by The Guardian's Nicholas Wroe as 'a triumph'. Ailyn is married to tenor Stephen Costello who sings opposite her tomorrow night as Alfredo. This will mark the first time they have performed on-stage together at The Royal Opera House. The rest of the cast remain unchanged.
Watch an interview with Ailyn just before she appeared in the Royal Opera's production of La traviata.

As is the case with many lifestyle changes, fully committing to an ongoing exercise program is not something most people do instantly. Rather, most people tend to go through a series of engagement stages during which they learn about and evaluate how exercise will affect them. These engagement stages tend to go something like this:
Challenge. Inactive people usually begin to exercise as a result of being challenged by a moment of realization of how out of shape they have become. That moment might occur when someone finds themselves winded after climbing a flight of stairs or moving furniture, or when they realize they have gained back all the weight they lost. It is very common to become challenged by reading about the health risks of a inactive life (as you are doing now). In the challenge stage a person moves from not thinking about exercise to considering making a change. They may not know how it all works, but they become willing to give it a try.<...More

Back Flip Three-Quarter Court Length Shot Is Just Too Awesome [VIDEO]
The Washington State University men's basketball team finished 13-19 last season, so if the Cougars hope to improve they may want to recruit this cheerleader.
Kevin Nebeker unleashes this unbelievable basket in which he flips backwards while letting fly a three-quarters court length shot. The fact that he even got rim, let alone swished it, is sick.
Watch it and soak it in, WSU fans – if things don't improve, this may be the highlight of the upcoming season.

A comic about a girl who becomes a monster.
Shade City, 2034. A secret war has been simmering for centuries under the nose of humanity between the vampires and Shifters. Now, a new weapon has been unleashed upon the world. Only three teens stand between salvation and destruction, and one of them is the weapon in question.
If you like vampires, werewolves, action, explosions, cyberpunkish worlds, with a smattering of sexy, you'll probably like this.
Shifters has been around since 1998. In 2007 the first version was scrapped, hence the title 'redux'. It was on hiatus for a number of years before returning to full production in 2011. the old one still exists online, the link is below if you want to see it.
Currently the comic is written and drawn by ShadowsMyst and colored by Che. This is a mirror site to the main one and updates currently behind the schedule of the main page. There are also no fillers ever posted here. If you want the latest news and updates (or to see fillers and holiday special stuff), you might want to check out the main site.

With the No. 47 pick, the Cowboys added a promising prospect to a position already in secure hands, drafting San Diego State tight end Gavin Escobar in Round Two.
The Cowboys' top tight end, Jason Witten, comes off a 110-catch season, and there's no doubt he will continue to be one of Tony Romo's primary targets in 2013. However, the 6-6, 254-pound Escobar will strengthen the Cowboys' depth in the short term. Also, if he's quick study in the offense, Escobar could bolster the Cowboys' various multi-TE packages. The more capable pass-catching tight ends on the field, the better, as the Patriots have shown.
Escobar led San Diego State with 42 receptions for 543 yards and six TDs as a redshirt junior in 2012.

GUNNISON, Colo. – Chadron State guard Dallas Shaw sank seven 3-pointers en route to scoring a career-high 23 points and teammate Kattie Ranta recorded her sixth double-double of the season, but it was not enough as Western State won 74-64 in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference women's game here Friday night.
Freshman guard Desiree Smith led the winning Mountaineers with 20 points while teammates Jade McIntosh and Charmayne Bellamy each scored 14 points.
McIntosh also grabbed 10 rebounds while Bellamy was four of seven from 3-point range.
Western State led 31-27 at halftime. Chadron State took its only lead at 36-33 early in the second half, but the Mountaineers went on a 17-3 run to take the lead for keeps.
Shaw's seven treys ties her with all-time great Tricia Lukawski for second on the Eagles' all-time single-game list. Lukawski also hit eight 3-pointers during her senior season in 1992-93.
A sophomore from Buffalo, Wyo., Shaw took 15 shots from behind the arc, also second on the Eagles' all-time list.
Ranta contributed 13 points and a game-high 15 rebounds. Hattie Guzman added 12 points and Kate Simontonnine, but the remainder of the Eagles combined for only seven points.
CSC played without its only senior, Sadie Waugh, because of sternum injury.
Chadron State shot 37.2 percent from the field and Western State 39.1 percent, but the Mountaineers took 21 more (64-43) field goal shots, partially because the Mountaineers had 12 turnovers and the Eagles had 21. In addition, the hosts grabbed 17 offensive rebounds that they converted into 16 points.
The Eagles were 23-36 from the free throw line. Western was 19-27.
Western State is now 2-18 for the season and 2-14 in the RMAC. CSC is 3-17 and 3-13. The Eagles will play at Colorado Mesa on Saturday night.

Dan Tooker, a former racecar driver and racing photographer slammed on his brakes.
Dan Tooker, a former racecar driver and racing photographer slammed on his brakes.
Smack in the middle of Newburgh's gritty East End was a majestic great blue heron stalking Downing Park's two-and-a-half-acre pond.
Tooker was astounded that a bird like that would show up in a city park right beside busy Route 9W's almost nonstop traffic.
"I saw that bird and stopped and made a hard U turn," says Tooker, "and kept shooting pictures."
Now, he's got a ton of photographic proof that once-neglected 35-acre Downing Park has become an urban wildlife mecca for critters that have the grit to make it in Newburgh.
Like Stumpy, a determined brown mallard duck who limps but could be the poster bird for 116-year-old Downing Park's ongoing revival.
Stumpy foiled an attack by one of the park's big snapping turtles. And now, lame as he is, Stumpy still grabs his share of the grub tossed by the park's loyal human bird feeders.
"He's right in there," says bird-watcher and park regular Claudia Perretti, doling out oat bread to an always-hungry gang of Canada geese and assorted ducks.
"What's unbelievable," says Tooker, "is wood ducks (shy woodland breeders) are having babies here. We had 38 wood duck babies this year."
Not only that, wood ducks are having babies in a big hollow Downing tree limb.
"I wrote a poem about that," says Perretti.
Meanwhile, Tooker's park checklist of wildlife species keeps growing: bald eagles; black-crowned night herons; peregrine falcons; and striking red, black and white pileated woodpeckers have been spotted in the park.
"We had a cormorant (bird) fishing for weeks at the pond," says Tooker. Garter snakes make the list, too. Someone even saw a black bear run through Downing Park.
Park visitors are taking notice. And that's because more of them are coming, thanks to popular park events like the annual Tuskegee Airmen's family day — even a croquet tournament being held today.
Also, the park's beauty isn't marred as much by trash or neglect as it has been in the past, thanks to efforts of grass-roots volunteers like Tooker of the Downing Park Planning Committee.
Karen McCarthy, the grass-roots committee vice-president, was picking up trash last week near the "polly" pond.
"If people don't see trash, they're not so likely to throw it on the ground," she said.
Which is key — because the more people come, the more they will spot wildlife.
After all, Downing's attraction for everything from escaped lovebirds to wild turkeys is one of the intended legacies of the park's landscape-architecture creators, Fredrick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux, who also planned Central Park in New York City.
They meant for Downing Park to be a gentle, beautiful place where people would be soothed and inspired by nature.
Which is exactly what is happening. Michael Lewis, 27, a park regular since he was a kid, sets his bike against a huge willow at the pond and offers one reason he's often there:
"Just step off the street and this park slows down the pace of life," he says.
At that very moment, huge fluffy white clouds reflected in the pond slowly march across the water, while ducks rest on big rocks.
As a Newburgh city report put it in 1897, Downing Park is a place for the "unbending of one's faculties."

Boing Boing's relationship with Violet Blue comes full circle
Sex blogger Violet Blue may have tried to ride the Boing Boing coattail express to microfame by airing grievances publicly. But once upon a time she waged the same kind of war on Boing Boing cofounder Xeni Jardin's side against Matthew Neal Sharp, curator of xenisucks.com, and the New York Times. Now, after the bad breakup between the two bloggers became serious business, another gentleman has put a thumb in the third eye of the popular catalog of eclectic ephemera by creating violetbluevioletblue.net — a directory of formerly wonderful things from Boing Boing that featured Blue, deleted by Jardin from the site a year ago.
I'd make a "so meta" joke here, but apparently you pseudomodernists are beyond that by now. In a further twist, site creator Ed Hunsinger is perfectly within his rights to un-unpublish work from Boing Boing under the site's Creative Commons license noncommercially, as long as it's properly attributed — though that does shut him out of turning his traffic into pageview gold with ads brokered by, say, Boing Boing band manager John Battelle's Federated Media. Yes, the wheel in the sky keeps on turning.

Please note: You are viewing an archived Bucknell University news story. It is possible that information found on this page has become outdated or inaccurate, and links and images contained within are not guaranteed to function correctly.
By Andrew Larson '08
LEWISBURG, Pa. - Danielle Winter '07 and Rob Gradoville '07 have witnessed abject poverty in Latin America, but it wasn't until now that they could plan and execute projects to help alleviate it.
Both of their projects were selected by the Davis Foundation, a nonprofit that supports cultural and educational organizations, to receive $10,000 grants as part of "100 Projects for Peace." Bucknell was one of a handful of schools to receive more than one grant, in the company of Yale, Columbia, Duke, Middlebury, and Wellesley.
Winter has traveled to Guatemala six times with a church group, working at Mi Refugio, a Christian school whose students are so poor that their families have resorted to living in the Guatemala City dump.
Sewing cooperative
In June, Winter and her friend, Julie Pfromm from Bloomsburg University, will return to Mi Refugio to create a sewing cooperative that will "empower women of the community and help lift them out of poverty," Winter said. The school has for years sought such a program but lacked the funding.
"I saw the Davis Foundation opportunity and I said, 'I know exactly who can use this money,'" said Winter.
The $10,000 grant will cover the start-up costs for the equipment, raw materials, and the teacher's salary. From then on, the program is designed to be self-sustaining. The top students from each class will be invited to teach the successive classes, and the revenue generated by selling products will cover the program's costs.
Procuring sufficuent water
When Gradoville traveled to Nicaragua with the Bucknell Brigade in January, he watched the residents of El Porvenir, a tiny the mountaintop community, struggle to procure sufficient water during the six-month dry season.
The town relies on a tractor to deliver small loads of water at a time, not nearly enough for watering the crops, not to mention bathing and cooking.
Gradoville and his group will construct a four-kilometer pipeline pumping a steady supply of water to the arid region.
"This is the first thing on their agenda," Gradoville said.
Solar powered
The pipeline, designed by five engineers and an environmental studies major, will be powered by four solar panels with auxiliary power coming from an electrical grid. The other students working on the project are Laura Roberts '07, Julie Jakoboski '07, Adam Donato '07, Meghan Feller '07, and Saskia Madlener '08.
The biggest challenge may be the manual labor. The group hopes to solicit the help of locals in digging a trench for the pipeline - by hand, using pick axes.
"In the United States, we'd use a trencher. But this is Nicaragua," Gradoville said.
Labor of love
For Gradoville, who plans to be a water resources engineer in the Peace Corps after he graduates, even though the project is for course credit, it's mostly a labor of love.
"It's the reason you can spend 10 hours a week on it, and you don't realize it's been that long," he said.

How the Hot Toys For Christmas Have Changed
With Christmas coming soon, parents will be headed to the stores to buy that hot new toy that secures them as the coolest parent in their child's eyes. But, the hot toy of the season changes every year. What was popular when I was a child is completely different to the high tech gifts of today.
Things have changed quite dramatically since I was a child. The older I get, the more I see these changes taking place. I cannot imagine how it feels to see 60 or more years of the world's transformation. All of those years and so much is different, including the toys given at Christmas.
I remember a time before computers, cell phones, and iPods. These are some of the most wanted gifts for Christmas now. When I was a little one, getting a hunk of plastic that moved slightly and lit up by battery power was the coolest thing ever seen before. These days, nothing is good enough unless it has a mind of it's own and can connect to the internet.
What an evolution from my Fischer Price plastic kitchen that barely had cabinet doors that opened to my nieces updated kitchen that lights up and makes noises. There are now video games that no longer need controllers to play. Back in the day, the controllers for Nintendo had only five buttons. I have seen the slow growth from the original five to an X-Box's millions of buttons and now no controller at all. If told years ago that this would be the progression, I would have thought you were telling crazy made up stories. You can even play games with people all around the world online. What a curious thing to dream up from where video games were when I was a kid. In my mind, Mario was always going to be orange and you would forever have to take the game cartridge out and blow into it to get it to work again. Now you can play a game in 3D straight from the internet.
Looking back to how toys were years ago, I started to reminisce about my favorites from the time. Here is a short list of some of my most anticipated gifts from Santa in the 90's.
1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles action figures.
I looked forward to getting my own Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael
toys. Remember, this was from the cartoon not the new and digital version of the
classic green guys.
2. Magic Eye Pictures
These optical illusion posters were everywhere when I was young. I had one of Bugs
Bunny that hung waiting in excitement for Space Jams to come out. The desire for
the new puzzle pictures was dire at the time and now have almost been completely
These plastic and cardboard disks were all the rage. From Christmas morning to the
playground, these were always something to get excited about. Instead of getting
caught texting in class, we used to get in trouble for our POG fights when we were
instead suppose to be learning how to diagram a sentence.
4. Tamagotchi Keychain Pets
Keeping your electronic pet alive was the most important part of my day when these
came out. I remember all too well when I did not get one until well after my friends had
one. Instead of whining about my lack of an iPad, I complained about not having my
own keychain pet.
5. Ty Beanie Babies
The excitement of the Christmas themed Beanie Babies was immense in the 90's.
There were fights at the mall for the newest and radest new bean filled mini animals.
The rush and flurry of getting one before they ran out seems so silly now that they are
cluttering every garage sale from here to Timbuktu.
So, what was your favorite hot toy for the holidays? How do you feel about the change in toys from our days to now?

Mick Jagger's New Supergroup Plans September Debut
If you were intrigued by the recent news that Mick Jagger had joined a new band with singers Joss Stone and Damian Marley, guitarist/producer Dave Stewart and composer A.R. Rahman, here's some good news: You won't have to wait much longer to hear what they sound like together.
The group, christened SuperHeavy, is planning a September release for their debut album. No specific date has been set, and they haven't announced a title, but they have plenty of material to choose from; during their first week together, they wrote more than 20 songs, and they're filming a video for the lead-off single, titled 'Miracle Worker.'
Whatever SuperHeavy ends up sounding like, fans can expect some decidedly un-Stonesy stuff on the disc; in fact, on one track, Jagger sings in Urdu. As he told Rolling Stone, "It is a different kind of record that what people would expect. It's not all weird and strange though. I think Stones fans will think it's a bit odd, but they'll find most of it accessible."
Check Out a Brief Video Introduction to SuperHeavy

I was a Film Industry Executive/Producer for 25 years and traveled and lived around the world with my home base in NYC. Seven years ago I went on my first trip to Antarctica - and I never looked back - 9 expeditions later I started this Foundation with two extraordinary scientists and a great Board of Advisors. We have to raise a lot of money for our research and most of it comes from large foundations and corporations. BUT, there has never been anything more fulfilling than Crowdrise - where we get a chance to show YOU what our scientists do - and where we have gotten such an enthusiastic welcome. It gives us hope for the future of our planet -
The foundation is about saving Antarctica's precious wildlife through research that will address the conservation imperative through the changing of Krill fishing laws and long line fishing methods that endanger seabirds. Melting ice, Krill and long line hooks are our "mantra".

Sept. 24, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - This Saturday, the Yale men will face Harvard in the annual dual meet between the two rivals. The race will be held on the Yale Golf Course and will be the first home competition for the Bulldogs since the Harvard-Yale meet in 2005. This year, the Bulldogs look for redemption after the Crimson broke Yale's five-year winning streak in 2007 with a score of 24 points, topping the Bulldogs' 32. Captain Jake Gallagher has won this meet for the last two years, and is once again a favorite for the individual title. The starting time for the men's 8,000-meter race is 5:00 p.m.
Both Yale and Harvard are ranked in the top-10 of the Northeast region; the USTFCCCA pre-season poll released earlier this month listed Yale in the No. 6 position, with Harvard at No. 8. The Bulldogs backed up their ranking with a convincing win at the Fairfield Invite last weekend, despite racing without a handful of the top runners from last year's squad.
Harvard has not yet raced this season, but could still challenge the Bulldogs this weekend. The top returning runner for the Crimson is sophomore Daniel Chenoweth, who placed fourth at this meet last year and had the highest freshman finish at the Heptagonal Championships last fall.
Buses will be available to transport spectators to and from the Yale Golf Course, and will be leaving Payne Whitney Gym at 3:00, 3:30, 4:00 and 4:30. Results will be posted on the Yale Athletics website at the conclusion of the meet.

File this one under the category of totally random NBA-related discoveries: Lebron's Lightning Lemonade. It's a flavor of Bubblicious bubble gum that (supposedly) tastes like rasberry lemonade. Each bright pink cube provides a burst of tongue-numbing flavorocity that lasts for almost a full minute, which might actually be some kind of bubble gum world's record. Unfortunately, like most chewing gums, Lebron's Lightning Lemonade degrades into a foul-tasting paste by the second or third minute of vigorous chewing. Still, I can guarantee you'll experience upwards of 30 to 45 seconds of tastebud-blasting ecstacy. But don't take my word for it -- just look at how happy it makes King James:
If you think that the fun ends when you finally spit out the now-viscous and gummy pulp, you couldn't be more wrong. By sending Bubblicious a completed request form, two proofs of purchase, and a $1 check or money order, you can (eventually) download a copy of Lebron James Voice-Activated Software. The LJVAS is a desktop widget that makes a Lebon "the point guard on your computer." And trust me, it's not nearly as exciting as it sounds.
By using Windows' voice-activation software, you can teach Computer Lebron to recognize your voice and respond to some simple verbal commands, like "open my email" or "take me to my favorite Web site." And like any good robotic servant, Computer King James will leap to action, opening and closing programs for you. As Jim Hanas put it, it's the NBA-equivalent of Clippy.
Software requirements: It's a widget that opens and closes basic computer programs. As long as you aren't using an abacus, you'll probably be okay.
Tips and tricks: In most cases, Lebron won't come out from wherever he's hiding unless you call for him -- I suggest teaching him to respond to the command "Lebron, get your kingly ass out here, now." But once a month for six whole months, Lebron will randomly wander onto your desktop to give you a basketball tip. I don't know what these tips are, but I'd guess he provides helpful advice like "Put your head down and charge aimlessly into a group of defenders" and "vary your form on every jumpshot...never shoot the same way twice."
Usefulness: At this point you're probably wondering whether getting the LBVAS is worth buying two packs of gum, filling out a form, writing a check, and stuffing an envelope. The answer to this question depends on your living situation. If you're a Lebron fanatic without arms or an active sense of shame, this minor software miracle might be for you. Otherwise, your computing experience will be just as rich, if not moreso, without Lebron's "help."

Model Number: RF266ABRSBrand: SamsungAge: Less than 1 year
I have the above listed Samsung French Door Fridge. The problem is not with the door or the door hinges itself.
The left door (as you look at the fridge) was open and i stood up from underneath it (OOOOOWWWW)... that door is the one with the little flap on it that allows the 2 doors to seal in the middle of the fridge. the flap opens and closes as you open and close the left hand door. This flap is attach in 3 places to the inside of the left hand door.
When i stood up, my back hit the flap hard enough to pull off 2 of the 3 connection points. the one in the middle is the one still attached.
I will add some pics to help with the situation.
i have tried Samsung tech support but those guys are just not getting what i am trying to say! I can see how i am supposed to put it back on, but there is a piece of plastic that will not come off in the middle hinge that is stopping me.
if ANYONE can point me in the right direction or give me some help i would GREATLY appreciate it. The fridge hasn't opened or closed right in months and its getting annoying.
Pics below have been marked up so you can hopefully get a better understanding of what i am talking about. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Love this vehicle!
By Steve on Wednesday, March 20, 2019I traded in my 2015 Santa Fe Sport and opted for the Ultimate 2.0 Turbo. I really enjoyed driving my sport, but the 2.4 liter engine was lacking when I drove up the mountains of Western Pennsylvania. The turbo has plenty of power and is fun to drive. My 2015 Sport was comfortable, but the 2019 is like sitting in a luxury vehicle. The cabin is roomy and quiet and has the best heated seats ( it blows my wife's Nissan Rogue heated seats out of the water). It is loaded with safety features and my car insurance dropped by $600 a year. I haven't had the opportunity to drive in the snow yet, but my old Santa Fe was plenty capable. It is a great looking vehicle and I love the front end redesign. I have only had this vehicle for a month, but I keep looking for reasons to take it out for a drive.

Such a great purchase!
By Rambo on Sunday, March 17, 2019I love everything about this vehicle. It handles like a car, has plenty of highway power and looks awesome. Bust purchase I have ever made!

Very happy.
By Bob on Sunday, February 10, 2019We compared the Santa Fe to a Honda Pilot and a Toyota Highlander. We felt the Santa Fe was superior regardless of price. We've had Hyundai, Honda and Toyotas in the past and were extremely happy, especially the quality. We've had American vehicles too but the quality and reliability was really poor and they were expensive to fix. Chevy Traverse was a piece of junk.

They might be football royalty, but the Mara sisters are all about acting these days. Kate, left, got the acting bug first, launching her career in 1999 with "Random Hearts." She went on to win roles in film's like "Brokeback Mountain" (as Heath Ledger's character's daughter), "The Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg and "127 Hours" with James Franco. Rooney (real name Patricia), two years younger, teamed with her sister for the horror movie "Urban Legend: Bloody Mary." From there she took small roles until landing a part in "A Nightmare on Elm Street." However, she didn't reach star status until she met director David Fincher, who hired her to play Mark Zuckerberg's girlfriend in "The Social Network" and later gave her the coveted role of Lisbeth Salander in "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." Aside from their acting credits, the sisters, who have an older brother, Daniel, and younger brother, Conor, can boast an impressive football family history. The Mara family owns the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the actresses are also the great-granddaughters of the teams' founders Tim Mara (Giants) and Art Rooney (Steelers).

For the last few months I have been getting into Kendo UI. Normally I am not a fan of other people's UI frameworks, but I like the job Telerik has done with this package and I hate writing plumbing code. I mean how many times do you want to write a grid or other control?
I was having a bit of trouble with some aspects of the DataSource and Grid controls and happened across a tutorial video showing interfacing a KendoUI DataSource with a RESTful backend.
Only problem was that the author of the video left out some parts of how the app was built. So I decided to work out the missing bits on my own. This is a demo project to show how to combine a Node/Express RESTful backend with a KendoUI frontend.
In place of a proper database this app uses a JavaScript object, this is a demo after all. There is very little data checking going on here, so be careful.
I am not a huge fan of Jade, so I used Handlebars instead as my template engine. HBS allows me to use Handlerbars on the server side. Frankly the app doesn't use templates much and everything could have been done with straight HTML, but I am probably going to expand the app in the future with templates on both the server and client sides.
I realize there isn't a lot tutorial material, but look through the code and hopefully it will all make sense. Once I have some free time, I hope to add more functionality to the app like MongoDB and a Backbone frontend.

Maintenance Matters: Lower Unit Preventative Maintenance
by Capt. Ted Lund
An outboard motor is one of the most significant investments any salt or freshwater boater can have. So it's a good idea to take care of your engine — so it will take care of you.
There are a number of steps to preventative maintenance that boat owners will want to consider, but one of the most important is the lower unit, and it only takes a couple of hours.
It's a good idea to start with an overall inspection of the lower unit, looking for damage, chips or leakage. Make a list of repairs needed. This is the perfect time to make sure you have the right gear case oil and the correct sacrificial anodes. You'll want to make sure to complete the oil change and any repairs before any touch-up painting.
Ironically, water is Enemy No. 1 for lower units. If allowed to seep into the gear case, it will reduce the lubricating properties of the gear oil, promote corrosion of the gears and shaft leading to ruin for the lower unit. So you'll want to start by draining the gear lube into a pan.
In order to make the most thorough check, run the engine to warm the oil up, then allow to rest in a full-down position so the lube and water separate.
Once the engine has rested for about an hour, remove the drain and vent plugs.
Use a drain pan to collect the oil; this allows you to see what is draining out of the gear case and also allows for easy disposal. A milky white froth is a sure sign that you have a problem.
If you do see signs of water or moisture in the gear case, take the unit to a Yamaha-certified mechanic to pressure test the lower unit. If you don't see any signs of water intrusion, continue with the lube change.
This is also a great time to pull the prop and check the seals for damage and wear or fishing line wrapped around the prop-shaft.
If found, remove and dispose of properly to make sure it's not an environmental hazard.
Next, (especially if you keep your boat in a water slip) you'll want to check the sacrificial anodes on the engine in both fresh and salt water. These anodes help take the hit for corrosion caused by electrolysis. Replace any that are less than half of their original size and be sure to use only Yamaha-certified parts. Check the owner's manual/service manual / for complete details and to make sure you know where all the nodes are located.
Although it sounds like a lot of work, servicing your lower unit is an easy job that can be done in the afternoon or evening prior to a big weekend outing.
All that's left is to get out on the water.

Pachter has harsh words for Wii U, thinks Activision should buy Take-Two
During a talk at the Game Monetization Summit analyst Michael Pachter said he doesn't see Wii U being supported once next gen systems come out; plus, he thinks its possible Activision will buy a majority stake in Take-Two if not buy it outright.
Here's a few select quotes from his talk, courtesy of GI International:
Wii U
"I think you're going to see now with the Wii U, notwithstanding its early launch support, nobody's going to support it. I don't think we're going to see every game on the Wii U next year. I think when next-gen consoles come out they're going to be better than the Wii U. Call of Duty is amazing on the Wii U this year. The problem with playing Call of Duty online is it's a community and if there's only four people playing it on the Wii U it's no fun. Nobody in their right mind would buy a Wii U and say 'I'm going to play Call of Duty.' That's like saying 'I gave up Facebook, and it's Google+ now'."
"Next-generation consoles are going to have big hard drives, they're also going to have disc drives. I would guess that the PS4 and the Xbox 720 will have 2 TB hard drives. That pretty much means you can download anything you want and never get rid of anything. You'll have room for a couple of hundred games, no problem."
Activision, Bungie
"Vivendi's going to screw up Activision for the next couple of years, because they're going to cause them to borrow money and buy back stock. I think the first thing Activision buys is Take-Two, because that fits in very nicely. Activision should buy Zynga – I just don't think Mark Pincus is a seller. I think Zynga has great assets, they have really good franchises, they have a ton of revenue, and I think run more efficiently they'd make a ton of money. THQ is not investable. Activision and EA make tons of money, so they are interesting investments. Take-Two doesn't make very much money but they have really great assets, so I think they remain attractive."
"Prediction: The next Bungie game will be single-player only; the multiplayer aspect of that game will be subscription only.Activision's going to try it, because they're greedy pigs, and they're bold."
Pachter also discussed digital distribution, and why Zynga is a "train wreck". He also feels Call of Duty is a failure due to "Activision doing a bad thing with Call of Duty from a profit perspective," he said. "This multiplayer thing being free was a mistake. I don't think anybody ever envisioned it would be this big. It's a mistake because it keeps those people from buying and playing other games."

"We were put on this earth to help others," says Nick Flynn, protagonist of the memoir-based film Being Flynn. Pity that his father doesn't agree, setting the stage for a longstanding conflict between father and son. In competing narration, Nick's father Jonathan (Robert De Niro) reveals his epic self-absorption: "Everything I write is a masterpiece, and soon, very soon, I shall be known." This and even more egregious delusions of grandeur help to explain Jonathan's absent fatherhood, from his divorce of Nick's mother (Julianne Moore) to his subsequent eighteen-year disappearing act.
Circumstances thrust Nick (Paul Dano of There Will Be Blood) back into his needy father's life, and soon they're in the "father" of all awkward situations. Now homeless, Jonathan becomes the lightning-rod problem case of a bustling homeless shelter, the very same one where Nick works and struggles to contemplates a brighter path for his life. Nick has trouble enough finding his way without the present shame of his father, but the son's frustrations compound as Jonathan provides a vision of a worst-case-scenario future where Nick must become his father. "You are me!" Jonathan rails. "I made you!"
The real Nick Flynn's memoir Another Bullshit Night in Suck City provides a template for wrenching drama, but the adaptation by writer-director Paul Weitz (About a Boy) follows it too perfunctorily. The script is at its best with clever turns of phrase, uncomfortably canny insights bandied between father and son, and the odd blunt juxtaposition (like Nick's little-boy-lost past with his big-boy-lost present) but even these at times lend the film a certain smug polish at odds with what should feel inescapably, claustrophobically real.
Dano's performance, a sort of bound-and-gagged aria of moroseness, deserves trappings that would enhance and complement it, but ironically even the casting of De Niro, once the highest standard of authenticity, fails to deliver. Though technically sound, the self-aware actor's turn as an un-self-aware man feels showy rather than lived in, and skips the nuances that would make Jonathan's life on the border of mental illness truly moving.
Instead Jonathan becomes much more of a foil than a genuine personality—so too Moore's pain-masking mother, wasted in a fleeting few scenes: these are the influences that formed Nick Flynn. And so, the film asks, whaddya gonna do about it, Nick? The predictable answers: abuse drugs, self-pity, climactic confrontation, and arrival at a sort of acceptance.
There's an air of therapy about it all, which becomes amusingly apparent when Nick hijacks a shelter check-in session to serve as a de facto writer's group. Moments like this and the rare screen acknowledgement of lower-class America suggest the better film Being Flynn might have been. It's simply difficult to throw in with the film's reality—if not its essential story, then its details: Being Flynn feels indie art-directed instead of observed.

The Mug Minder is a cup bag to keep your reusable mug safe in your bag or car in transit to the coffee shop. If you want to reduce your use of disposable beverage cups but still enjoy your daily caffeine hit, using a reusable ceramic or glass mug is the best option.
But does throwing your mug into your bag (before or after it has been used) make you nervous? The Mug Minder was designed to give your reusable mug protection from knocks and your bag protection from drips. It is padded and has a food-safe, waterproof lining and a drawstring closure.
This Mug Minder features my Flower Bud design, screen printed by hand in red ink onto natural coloured linen/cotton blend fabric. The print is an original Blue Radish design developed from one of my drawings.
The Mug Minder measures approximately 14cm high with an approximately 9cm square base. The drawstring closure is fitted with a cord lock.
This listing is for one cup bag only. Other items in photos are for illustrative purposes only.
Please note that, due to variations in how different devices depict colours, the colour of the item may differ slightly from the photographs in the listing.
All designs are screen printed by hand by me and I only use high-quality environmentally-friendly Permaset Aqua inks. Due to the nature of hand printing, print position may vary slightly from item to item particularly for items cut from meterage. Handprinted fabrics will feature variations due to the nature of the process. In addition, natural linen contains imperfections and textures which add to the beauty of the item.
Care instructions:

Pygmies Win Inaugural Match with Clovis
SOCORRO, N.M. September 14, 2009 -- The New Mexico Tech Rugby Club opened their home season Saturday with a hard-won 17-15 victory in their first-ever match against the Clovis Nomads. The nail-biter marked the Pygmies' return to the standard 15-man format following a runner-up finish in the Santa Fe Fiesta 10-man team tournament over the Labor Day weekend.
New Mexico Tech next hosts the Santa Fe Santos at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19. The Pygmies have never beaten the Santos in a 15-man match.
Against Clovis, the Pygmies scored three tries (five points each) and one conversion kick (two points) to the Nomads' two tries, one conversion, and one penalty kick (three points).

A light overnight rain Friday combined with temperatures in the 80s made for a sweltering Socorro welcome for the Rio Grande Rugby Union's newest addition to the men's division three competition. Tech competes as a collegiate Division II member. Clovis relied on the skills of a handful of foreign-born players to open the scoring after seven minutes with a 40-meter scoring run down Tech's left touchline. The conversion kick was missed from a sharp angle and the Nomads led 5-0.
Clovis's pack of eight forwards had the upper hand over the smaller and less experienced Pygmies in the set scrums, putting pressure on Tech's put-ins while handily winning their own. The Pygmies also had first-half problems connecting lineout (inbounds) throws with their intended targets, mainly jumpers Matt Kretz and Guilford College transfer student Graham Payne. The visitors kicked deep frequently, keeping Tech fullback Isaiah Sanchez and wings James Fallt and Enrique Koerdell scrambling to cover and attempt counterattacks.
Tech's saving grace lay in a backline of seven anchored by seasoned players who often advanced what limited ball possession Tech's forwards managed to gain. After 30 minutes of spirited play, flanker and co-captain Bart Hegarty's lineout throw was snagged by Payne and passed down the backline. Outside center Nick Aldape broke a tackle to score a try from 20 meters out. Jay Herrera's conversion kick failed, knotting the score at 5-5.
Three minutes before the end of the 40-minute first half the Pygmies were penalized and Carlos Spencer slotted a three-point penalty kick for an 8-5 Nomads lead. Aldape supplied a heads-up gift for Tech just before the break by running down an errant penalty kick attempt by Herrera and diving on the ball for a try in the corner. Herrera further punished the Nomads with his conversion kick and Tech led at halftime 12-8.
Clovis profited 11 minutes into the second half when Tech freshman wing Enrique Koerdell was caught isolated while recovering a kick. Grant Batty recovered the ball for Clovis as Koerdell was tackled and sprinted 30 meters to score between the posts to set up an easy kick, and the Nomads regained the lead at 15-12.
Midway through the half Clovis again kicked deep but this time danger man Isaiah Sanchez was ready. Jay Herrera caught up as Sanchez wove his way through several defenders and the two veterans produced a brilliant exchange of passes before Herrera delivered the ball the final 40 meters for the try. His conversion attempt sailed wide but Tech moved ahead 17-15.
The final 20 minutes proved an early-season test of stamina for both teams as high temperatures took their toll. Scoring chances on either side were desperately repelled or died for lack of support play until the final whistle sealed Tech's close victory.
Nick Aldape was named New Mexico Tech's man of the match as a handful of outstanding individual performances emerged from a sometimes disorganized early-season effort.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Aamahd Walker, a talented and explosive 6-foot-2 guard from Culver City High School, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball at UC Santa Barbara, head coach Bob Williams announced Thursday.
Walker is the fifth high school senior to sign with UCSB as he joins four others who signed during the November signing period.
"He is a long, athletic player and a natural scorer," Williams said of Walker. "Aamahd can create his own shot and can really defend. He is a very good piece to our puzzle."
As a senior in 2011-12, Walker was named Second Team All-CIF and First Team All-Ocean League. He averaged 20.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.5 steals, 3.0 assists and 1.1 blocked shots per game while shooting 46% overall, 33% from three-point range and 76% from the free throw line. Walker scored a career-high 33 points in a win over Beverly Hills High School and had 25 or more six times. He also had a season-high six steals on four occasions and highs of 12 rebounds against Morningside High School and six assists against Hart High School.
As a junior in 2010-11, Walker averaged 17.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 3.7 steals per game. He had a career-high nine steals in a game against Irvine High School and eight games with six or more. In his sophomore season at Culver City, Walker averaged 11.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.2 steals per game. He also had a nine-steal performance that year against Mira Costa High School.
Walker will join 6-foot-4 guard Michael Bryson (Foothill HS/Sacramento, Calif.), 6-foot guard Dalante Dunklin (Francis Parker HS/San Diego, Calif.), 6-foot-8 forward Mitch Brewe (Seattle Prep/Seattle, Wash.) and 6-foot-10 forward Sam Beeler (Poway HS/Poway, Calif.) as incoming freshmen for the Gauchos.
In addition to the five true freshmen, UCSB will return three redshirt freshmen in 6-foot-5 guard John Green (Westwind Prep Academy in Phoenix/Oakland, Calif.), 6-foot-8 forward Taran Brown (Campbell County HS/Gillette, Wyo.) and 6-foot-1 walk-on guard Duke DaRe (De La Salle HS/Clayton, Calif.). The Gauchos will also have three sophomores returning to the fold.
"We realize that we will be very inexperienced in terms of collegiate experience next year," Williams said. "But we'll have lots of successful high school experience to draw from. Each of the freshmen had outstanding high school careers and experienced a great deal of success."
Williams is unfazed by the likelihood of coaching a team that will include eight freshmen and three sophomores.
"I think it's exciting," he said. "If you have a choice, you'd rather coach young and talented than veterans who aren't as talented. That's what we'll be, young and talented."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
According to a survey conducted by the Palpress Arabic-language website, the Palestinians are itching for another fight with Israel, less than a day after the Jewish state agreed to prematurely halt its campaign to eliminate the Gaza missile threat.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said of the unfavorable truce, [which baffled many Israelis][1], that it was right to return calm to the region as soon as possible. Netanyahu said Israel is interested in a long-term cessation of hostilities, an end to conflict.
But, just as most Israelis feared, it appears groups like Hamas will only use the days and months of calm ahead to prepare for the next round of violence. And they will apparently have majority support among the public for doing so.
The Palpress survey, which was actually an Internet referendum, showed that 64 percent of Palestinian Arabs oppose a long-term ceasefire with Israel in the Gaza Strip.
And why would they vote otherwise? The circumstances of the ceasefire - it was called while Hamas was still attacking Israel - and the subsequent Hamas celebrations in Gaza gave the impression that the terrorists had won the brief war with Israel. For all intents and purposes, in Palestinian eyes, Israel surrendered.

The best mid-size truck.
Much like the 4Runner SUV, the Tacoma is the best product left in a segment other automakers have chosen to abandon or neglect. It's also pretty darn cool, especially in X-Runner guise, which has a lowered suspension and eighteen-inch wheels, as well as a standard six-speed manual transmission. For shoppers with more premium predilections, Toyota now offers a Limited Package with heated front seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, leatherette seating surfaces, a backup camera, and eighteen-inch wheels. At the other end of the spectrum, the Tacoma can be had as a basic work truck with a modest 159-hp four-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual. The 4.0-liter V-6 would likely be the best choice for most buyers, as it enables up to 6500 pounds of towing. Altogether, there are about two dozen body and trim combinations, but the basic lineup consists of the regular cab; the Access Cab, which has rear-hinged doors; and the Double Cab, with full-size rear doors, flexible rear seatbacks, and a storage unit behind the second row. The Tacoma has long faced competition from cheap full-size trucks, but its smaller size offers agility that those trucks can't match. Piloting a Tacoma around a crowded city is a refreshing reminder that not all pickups have to be monstrously oversized and difficult to park.
