(Silver Spring, MD and London) - TLC International today announced the revival of popular medical documentary series, BIZARRE ER. The award-winning[i] program from Maverick TV is narrated by famed singer, stage and TV actor John Barrowman, and features the compelling, fascinating and downright strange cases of amazing medical survival that come through hospital doors - from both sides of the pond. Internationally, BIZARRE ER is set to air beginning in March 2013 on TLC as well as on Discovery Networks International's (DNI) female-skewing global networks, Discovery Home&Health and Real Time. The series will also air on Discovery Fit & Health in the United States.
"With its combination of the 'only-on-TV' kind of medical emergencies, uniquely relevant factoids and a touch of humor, the return of BIZARRE ER will satisfy our global audience's appetite for extraordinary... and sometimes relatable... medical programming," said Jon Sechrist, Vice President, Lifestyle Production and Development, TLC International. "We are thrilled to team up with Maverick to bring more of this popular and entertaining series to a global stage."
Mark Downie, Head of Factual at Maverick Television, said: "This new series features some of the world's most extraordinary ER cases - from the hilarious to the horrifying. From a case of lockjaw caused by eating a gigantic sandwich to a woman with an unexploded hand-grenade embedded in her cheek, we're proud to bring to TLC International some truly incredible stories which are a fascinating insight into the world of medical science and the remarkable resilience of the human body."
Filmed primarily in the US, the United Kingdom and with follow up stories from around the world, each 30 minute episode of BIZARRE ER follows several patients facing an unusual injury, from the moment they walk through the doors of the emergency room. Viewers will join patients through the process of diagnosis, treatment, and ultimately discharge from the hospital. The circumstances which caused these patients' peculiar injuries are often funny, and are reconstructed with Maverick's award-winning graphics and animations[ii]. From body piercings gone awry to an eye glued shut, BIZARRE ER brings viewers into the lighter side of the emergency room.
BIZARRE ER is produced for DNI and TLC International by Maverick TV. For DNI and TLC International, Jon Sechrist is executive producer and for Maverick, Head of Factual Mark Downie is executive producer.

Ibsens The Wild Duck
Jean Cocteau Repertory
Bouwerie Lane Theatre
330 Bowery at Bond Street
thru May 20
Rarely-performed Ibsen play at Bouwerie Lane
By JERRY TALLMER
Photo by Gerry Goodstein
Cast members of The Wild Duck, l to r, Erin Scanlon, Angela Madden & Michael Surabian
You can keep your Iago. For me, the most unlikable character in all drama is Gregers Werle, the idealistic, purifying manipulator who, in the name of truth and a true marriage whatever that is in Ibsens The Wild Duck, not only wrecks the reasonably tolerable make-do marriage of Gina and Hjalmar Ekdal, but in the process leads their 13-year-old daughter Hedvig, a sensitive young idealist of another sort, into an act of unforeseen tragic consequence.
The Wild Duck is not an easy play to do, or to like. The Internet lists five Broadway stagings of it since 1918, the last of them an APA-Phoenix production in 1967 (with Rosemary Harris and Betty Miller alternating as Gina). No records available for Off-Broadway, and no personal memories of the same either when it comes to The Wild Duck.
Nobody except an enthusiastic Bernard Shaw paid much attention when it opened in 1885, and Shaw put his finger right on the polar contradiction within this drama as well as between Ibsen and, say, a Charles Dickens:
In Ibsen, from beginning to end, every human being is a sacrifice, whilst to Dickens he is a farce. And there you have the whole difference. No character drawn by Dickens is more ridiculous than Hjalmar Ekdal in The Wild Duck, or more eccentric than old Ekdal [Hjalmars disgraced, nutty father], whose toy game-preserve in the garret is more fantastic than the house of Miss Havisham; and yet these Ekdals wring the heart whilst Micawber and Chivery . . . only shake the sides.
Old Ekdals toy game-preserve in the garret (in most translations, the loft) is where he and his granddaughter tend to the wild duck which has been shot down like Chekhovs seagull, but also where the old man whangs away with his rifle at bears, real or imagined. Indeed, one might describe this whole quadrant of the play as nothing less than surreal. In 1885.
Yes, yes! says Eve Adamson, in agreement. It is Eve Adamson, founder and longtime artistic director of this citys Jean Cocteau Repertory, who directs the production of The Wild Duck thats at the Cocteaus Bouwerie Lane Theatre through May 20. The way she and designer Robert Klingelhoefer solved the mysterious loft problem was through Plexiglas.
What intrusive Gregers Werle drives out into the terrible light of truth is that Hjalmar Ekdal is probably not young Hedwigs real father; that person would far more likely be Werle Sr., the richest man in town, i.e., Gregerss own aging father, whom he detests.
What makes Hjalmar ridiculous (see Shaw) is not that hes a cuckold but a fumbling, dithering inventor who has invented nothing and never will. Damn it, whats left for me to invent? Other people have invented so much already, two-bit photographer Hjalmar complains toward the end of the play, just before we learn the terrible truth of The Wild Duck which, in short, is that TRUTH KILLS.
Ibsen places a more detached truth-telling in the mouth of Dr. Relling, the cynical realist who lodges upstairs and may take a nip or two now and again.
RELLING: Its a shame that fellow [Gregers Werle] didnt go straight to hell [when Werle worked up north, in the mines].
GINA EKDAL: Do you really think hes crazy?
RELLING: No crazier than most. But hes got a serious disease.
GINA: Whats wrong with him?
RELLING: An acute case of moralistic fervor.
HEDVIG: Is that a kind of disease?
RELLING: Oh yes, its a national disease. It breaks out now and then.
I think thats very pertinent at this particular time, says director Adamson. And Relling gets a good laugh on it too.
Hes played by Cocteau stalwart Harris Berlinsky. (Ms. Adamson wanted fellow Cocteau leading lights Craig Smith and Elise Stone to be in the Ibsen, but theyve been too busy with their two new children.) Gregers Werle is played by Chad Suitts, Hjalmar Ekdal by Michael Surabian, Gina by Angela Madden, Hedwig by Erin Scanlon, old Ekdal by Tim Morton, old Werle by Bill Fairbairn, and four other roles by Eileen Glenn, Danaher Dempsey, Allen Hale, and Sara Jean Asselin.
Eve Adamson says she and current Cocteau Rep artistic director David Fuller kicked various choices around for her to do this season, before settling on The Wild Duck. Shed directed three other Ibsens at the Cocteau over the years, Ghosts, When We Dead Awaken, and Hedda Gsbler, but never this one.
We went back and forth on things David wanted me to do and I didnt want to do. For instance? For instance, [Eugene ONeills] The Emperor Jones. I found it dated and racist and needing an actor they didnt have namely, Paul Robeson. Id found a play I really like, Pete Shaffers Shrivings, written during the Vietnam War, but Shaffer didnt want it done in this country.
Finally we said: Oh well, lets do The Wild Duck, a good play by a good playwright with a lot to be discovered in it.
And the basic thing discovered is Dr. Rellings truth: People have to tell one another lies to get through life on an even keel. Have to tell lies to themselves too, up to a point anyway. Hjalmar is desperately trying to maintain an image of himself thats not realistic but, says Eve Adamson, so do we all. He over-dramatizes himself. But then again, so do most of us.
Gregers Werle would tear all that away, ruthlessly, all for the sake of the truth.
GREGERS: Will you believe Ive wanted everything for the best, Mrs. Ekdal.
GINA: Yes, I think I believe that. But God have mercy on you all the same.
Shes kinder than I would have been.

Senior cornerback Casey Vatter (Okeana, Ohio) intercepted a tipped pass in the end-zone with 59 seconds to play, and the Centre College football team hung on for a 33-28 win over Bethany College in the season-opening game for both teams Saturday, Sept. 7 in Danville, Ky.
The win marks the second consecutive season the Colonels have opened the year with a win over the Bison. It's also the 11th win in the last 13 season-openers for Centre.
Bethany struck first with a 26-yard field goal to take an early 3-0 lead, but eight plays, 71 yards later, junior quarterback Heath Haden (Kingsport, Tenn.) found sophomore tight endKurt Wilhelmus (Nicholasville, Ky.) for a 12-yard scoring strike to take a 7-3 lead.
The Colonels extended the lead to 14-3 near the end of the opening quarter when Haden hit senior reciever Austin Jones (Louisville, Ky.) for 40 yards and another touchdown.
The Centre special teams' unit collected its first safety of the season when the snap on a Bethany punt attempt went over the punter's head. To prevent the Colonels from recovering for a touchdown, the punter kicked the ball out of the back of the end zone and Centre led 16-3.
Centre then took the ensuing kick-off and drove 54 yards on six plays, capped off by another Haden to Jones connection and a 23-3 lead.
The Bison (0-1) scored its first touchdown of the season on their next drive as quarterback Matt Grimard scored on a 16-yard run. The extra point attempt failed and the half would end with the Colonels ahead 23-9.
Centre opened the second half with a nine-play, 75 yard drive yard drive in only 3:30. Haden hit senior running back Harry Meisner (Wyoming, Ohio) for a 32-yard touchdown pass and the Colonels appeared to be pulling away for an easy win.
Bethany went on to score three unanswered touchdowns, but missed the extra point on the first score and then had the second blocked before making the third attempt to cut the lead to 30-28 with 10:16 left in the game.
The two teams traded punts on the next two possessions with sophomore Jake Johnson(Louisville, Ky.) returning the Bison punt 29 yards to the Bethany 29-yard line.
The Colonels drove to the Bison six-yard line, but had to settle for a 19-yard field goal by junior kicker Preston Cahill (Dry Ridge, Ky.) to push the lead to 33-28.
Bethany then took the kick-off and drove to the Centre seven-yard line. On fourth and three, Grimard's pass over the middle was tipped and landed in the arms of Vatter to seal the five-point win.
Haden posted career highs in passing yards (312) and touchdown passes (4) on 19 of 27 passing. Ten of those completions were to Jones, who set career highs in receptions, receiving yards (173) and touchdown catches (2).
Meisner led the way on the ground with 92 yards on 16 carries. He also caught three passes for 61 yards and the 32-yard touchdown reception as the Colonels out-gained Bethany 446-422 in total offensive yards.
Junior Tami Aderoba (Columbia, Tenn.) had a huge day on defense. Aderoba tallied 11 tackles, including 4.0 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. Sophomore Nick Dietz(Cincinnati, Ohio) also had 11 tackles in the win.
Centre will travel to Terre Haute, Ind. Saturday, Sept. 14 to play Rose-Hulman. Kick-off is set for 7 p.m.

This has been quite a week. Crazy rumors about projects I might be taking on in the new year, the release of the first digital chapter of Strange Attractors (and the first feedback on that chapter…), actually finishing Strange Attractors and turning all of the files in to the publisher, the release of the Mankind graphic novel from the History Channel featuring one of my stories and of course, Christmas around the corner as well as the onset of 2013.
It's been good. I'd like to quickly chat about all of this stuff before I delve into a short holiday break – no time for a long one, and sometimes it feels like I'll never have time for a long vacation again. But I'm not complaining!
1. The crazy rumor.
No comment! All I will say is that the rumor generated a lot of supportive tweets, FB posts and so on, and regardless of its veracity, I was extremely touched by people's apparent faith that if a rumor like that were true, that I could do a good job. Thank you!
2. Strange Attractors finished.
In case you're coming to this blog for the first time (which seems possible – I've been getting a lot of traffic recently, presumably because of (1)), Strange Attractors is my next big creator-owned project, a story about two complexity mathematicians who figure out how to manipulate all of New York City's layered systems to turn it into kind of an engine. It's very grounded sci-fi, I suppose, and I'm very excited about it. It's due out from Archaia this March, as one of their beautiful hardcovers.
Anyway, the book is indeed finished! The team and I worked overtime over the last few weeks to get everything done, and it feels like we spent as much time on the last minute tweaks as we did putting the whole book together. That's obviously not true – the first art for this book came in around July 2010 (most of that hasn't been used, except for the final cover by Dan Duncan), and the final team has been working on it steadily since May 2011. Regardless, it's without a doubt the most complex and time-consuming project I've ever done, on all levels, and I hope that people enjoy what we created. As a taste – there will be plenty more to come, I'm sure – here's the very last piece of art I got for the book, one of the amazing complexity maps created by Robert Saywitz. They're amazing on their own, and even cooler as they're used in the story. Check it out:
3. Strange Attractors Digital!
As I've discussed here and there in the past, Strange Attractors is getting a Digital First release from Archaia, which means that it will be serialized in roughly four chapters leading up to the release of the hardcover. It's set up to be read on your digital devices – e-readers, ipads, etc. The first chapter is available now, right here. Totally affordable, too – $2.99 for 26 full-color, gorgeous pages! Treat yourself – it's the holidays!
We even got our first review, from the cool folks at Comicosity. They gave it a 9.0/10, and here's a representative quote:
"I highly recommend this first chapter in Strange Attractors."
Whaddya want? If you need more, click over – I'd love to send them the hits. Suffice it to say, they dug it, which is incredibly encouraging and gratifying. Getting something new out into the world is always nerve-wracking, and it's wonderful to be able to think that the time and effort we've put in might connect with readers.
3. Mankind: the Story of All of Us
Over the summer, I wrote a story for the second volume of the graphic novel series the History Channel put together to be released in conjunction with their epic miniseries Mankind: The Story of All of Us. It's the biggest production they've ever done, a multi-part series covering the evolution of human society over the millennia. Super cool, and I was thrilled to have a part in it. I wrote a 16-page story entitled "The Gun," which deals with the invention and innovation surrounding firearms, mostly in China, and it's really great stuff. The art's wonderful, and the other stories are all amazing too. You can get it here – I think it might be a great gift for teen readers, if you know any young folks into history (not bad for adults, either!) Here's the kickass Neal Adams cover:
And there you have it. I'm sure we'll have a lot more to talk about soon – 2013 is looking like a really big year, and I couldn't be more excited about it.

I have not yet warmed up for BROOKE. I find his skull jokes very boring and forced. He does not bring nothing to the crew and he has little chemistry with them. He is part of 'silly group' with Usopp,Luffy and Chopper but dont think Strawhats need more comedians anymore.
Well I see if he grows for me in future but currently I am not really enjoying his scenes.
Oh and that DAMN BUGGY!
Damn him to hell! But he is sooo funny aswell... Glory to the Buggy but less screentime! Ah hell I cant decide... he is so freaking annoying and weak but he is funny aswell.

get rid of brook, ussop and chopper. I was glad to see ussop leave the crew and dissapointed to see him come back. I do hope that the next arc Ussop isn't a fatso and sanji isn't a okama though. That would annoy me more.

STMicroelectronics and Audi Co-operate to Accelerate Automotive Semiconductor InnovationMonday, October 22nd, 2012
Joint focus on driving innovative energy saving, safety and infotainment solutions
Premium car maker Audi and STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications and a committed automotive semiconductor supplier since its birth in 1987, have announced a strategic relationship to drive the pace of automotive innovation by creating advanced semiconductor solutions.
Together, Audi and ST will co-develop semiconductor solutions in three key areas of automotive design: reduction of CO2 emissions, safety and security, infotainment and comfort. The collaboration of the companies aims to drive innovation actively while also securing product quality, guaranteeing supply and reducing time to market.
"We have chosen to work with ST as part of our Progressive Semiconductor Program ("PSCP"), to further proactively strengthen our involvement and demand on innovative "white-box" electronics," said Ricky Hudi, Chief Executive Engineer Electrics/Electronics at Audi. "ST was a natural choice, as it has a broad technology portfolio, in-house manufacturing capabilities and a proven commitment to automotive."
"We are delighted to be invited by a company such as Audi, a globally respected and innovative automotive brand, to join forces to deliver exciting new cars for their customers," said Marco Monti, Executive Vice-President and General Manager, STMicroelectronics Automotive Product Group. "The Progressive Semiconductor Program is a clear demonstration of Audi's commitment to innovation and recognition from the automotive world that only a true partnership attitude can lead to success. Partnering with customers is one of our key assets and has been for twenty-five years. We are now expanding into working more closely with car-makers, thanks to Audi's innovative approach to what is the real enabler of innovation in the automotive industry: semiconductors."
Notes for Editors
Industry analysts regularly report the increasing value of electronics and semiconductor content in cars. Globally, automotive semiconductor revenues are estimated at over $25 billion according to IHS iSuppli. Semiconductor technology has reached the heart of the car, enabling systems from advanced engine management for optimal performance and reduced emissions, to advanced safety and chassis systems such as anti-lock brakes, stability control and airbags, and comfort systems such as body and climate controls and infotainment.
The road ahead calls for rapid advancement of automotive ICs. Devices such as video processors for advanced driver assistance and navigation systems must deliver increased system on chip integration, using leading-edge manufacturing nodes such as 28nm advanced CMOS. The ultimate destination is full vehicle electrification allowing every load to be controlled electronically; from a simple oil pump to the main electric traction engine.
Recognizing the magnitude of the challenges of these demands, Audi and ST are combining Audi's OEM applications knowledge with ST's advanced semiconductor design skills, IP, and manufacturing process capabilities. ST has competencies spanning technologies such as its proprietary BCD™ Smartpower, advanced CMOS, embedded flash, non-volatile memory, VIPowerTM for motor and LED-lighting control, power discretes (low and high voltage silicon, SiC, GaN), CMOS imaging, and MEMS motion sensors used throughout advanced chassis controls, safety systems and navigation devices. ST has its own fabrication capacity for automotive for all of these technologies.
About STMicroelectronics
ST is a global leader in the semiconductor market serving customers across the spectrum of sense and power technologies and multimedia convergence applications. From energy management and savings to trust and data security, from healthcare and wellness to smart consumer devices, in the home, car and office, at work and at play, ST is found everywhere microelectronics make a positive and innovative contribution to people's life. By getting more from technology to get more from life, ST stands for life.augmented.
In 2011, the Company's net revenues were $9.73 billion. Further information on ST can be found at www.st.com.

Sol 212 Update On Curiosity From USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Nothing to Do20 March 2013
I'm scheduled as MAHLI/MARDI uplink lead again today, but there's nothing for me to do because the engineers at JPL are still working to recover from recent software anomalies. The latest fault was not serious, but delayed the return to nominal science operations. The instruments have been turned on and checked out on the "B" computer, so we are ready to go when the anomaly recovery is completed.

Black, Beige & White Done Right by Darryl Carter
It seems like a neutral color scheme should be easy to pull off - no messing with colors getting too loud or brassy. But, anyone who has tried to do a room with just a handful of neutrals knows that it is easier said than done - it can look ho hum rather than quietly elegant. Local DC designer Darryl Carter is an expert at this look, so we put together this post full of his rooms as a bit of a inspirational guide...
As you can see from the series of photos above, one factor in doing this color combo successfully is balancing the mix. In his rooms, Darryl Carter goes for lots of while (walls and floors) followed by a strong dose of beige (upholstery) and keeps things interesting with smaller punches of black (a single piece of furniture, lamp shades or fireplace surround).
The other key factor is to keep things rustic - Carter is not afraid to add in vintage wooden pieces that show their age. These warm wood notes add another level of interest and take the edge off of a color scheme that can veer toward cold and clinical easily.
See lots more of Darryl Carter's lovely rooms in his online portfolio right here.

WASHINGTON – Moving on two fronts, the Republican-controlled House on Thursday voted to keep the government running for the next six months while pushing through a tea-party flavored budget for next year that would shrink the government by another $4.6 trillion over the next decade.
The spending authorization on its way to the White House for President Barack Obama's signature leaves in place $85 billion in spending cuts to the Pentagon and domestic programs. The result will be temporary furloughs for hundreds of thousands of federal workers and contractors over the next six months and interrupted, slower or halted services and aid for many Americans.
The nonbinding GOP budget plan for 2014 and beyond calls for a balanced budget in 10 years' time and sharp cuts in safety-net programs for the poor and other domestic programs.
Thursday's developments demonstrated the split nature of this year's budget debate. Competing nonbinding budget measures by each party provide platforms for political principles; at the same time Capitol Hill leaders forged a bipartisan deal on carrying out the government's core responsibilities, in this case providing money for agencies to operate and preventing a government shutdown.
The GOP budget proposal, similar to previous plans offered by Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., demonstrates that it's possible, at least mathematically, to balance the budget within a decade without raising taxes. But to do so Ryan, his party's vice presidential nominee last year, assumes deep cuts that would force millions from programs for the poor like food stamps and Medicaid and cut almost 20 percent from domestic agency budget levels assumed less than two years ago.
Ryan's plan passed the House on a mostly party-line 221-207 vote, with 10 Republicans joining Democrats against it.
Meanwhile, the Democrat-controlled Senate debated for a second day its first budget since the 2009 plan that helped Obama pass his health care law. A vote on the Senate measure is expected late Friday or early Saturday.
The Senate cast several politically freighted tallies Thursday night, including a move by Democrats to force a vote on the controversial Ryan budget, which was defeated 59-40, with five Republicans — including Maine's Susan Collins and tea party stalwarts Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Mike Lee, R-Utah — joining every Democrat and independent Angus King of Maine in opposition.
Republicans countered with a move by Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., putting Democrats on record in opposition to balancing the budget by the end of the decade. It failed on a near party-line vote.
But the Senate gave sweeping bipartisan approval to a proposal by Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., to put senators on record in favor of repealing an unpopular $30 billion tax over 10 years on medical devices enacted to help pay for Obama's health care bill.
The dueling House and Senate budget plans are anchored on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum in Washington, appealing to core partisans in warring GOP and Democratic tribes long gridlocked over how to attack budget deficits.
The GOP plan caters to tea party forces while Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray, D-Wash., crafted a measure designed to nail down support from liberal senators like Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who vehemently oppose cuts to safety net programs, like Medicare and Social Security.
The sharp contrast over the 2014 budget and beyond came as the House cleared away last year's unfinished fiscal business — a sweeping, government-wide bill to keep Cabinet agencies running through the 2013 budget year, which ends Sept. 30.
The House passed the bipartisan 2013 measure by a sweeping 318-109 vote. The Senate had approved the measure on Wednesday.
The measure would authorize money for the day-to-day operations of every Cabinet agency through Sept. 30, provide another $87 billion to fund overseas military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq and maintain a pay freeze for federal workers. Automatic spending cuts of 5 percent to domestic programs and 8 percent to the Pentagon are left in place, leaving hundreds of thousands of federal workers facing job furloughs.
But the bill eases the effect of the trims on food inspections and college assistance for active-duty military and relieves the Pentagon from a cash crunch in accounts for training and readiness. Veteran health programs will get scheduled increases and there are big boosts to modernize the Pentagon's nuclear arsenal. It also ensures funding for a food program for pregnant women and their babies.
The long-term, nonbinding GOP budget plan authored by Ryan, the party's failed 2012 vice presidential nominee, makes lots of promises about "reforming" costly benefits programs like food stamps, Medicare and Medicaid, but it's often scant on details about the cuts. And while pledging a tax reform plan that would lower the top income tax bracket from 39.6 percent to 25 percent, it doesn't say how it would replace almost $6 trillion in lost revenue.

You may already be aware that the Obamas have planted the first kitchen garden at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt's in 1943.
Kitchen Gardeners International led the petition campaign Eat the View, proposing that the Obamas plant a garden for the White House and include a few rows to help feed the hungry.
Roger Doiron, founder of Kitchen Gardeners International, and his wife tallied up the savings their kitchen garden provided their household in 2008. At the end of the growing season in Maine where the Doirons live, they had saved $2,150 in groceries for their family of five.
The Slow Food USA blog has a more in-depth article about the White House Kitchen Garden, which you can read by clicking here.
Check out this link to the White House blog about breaking ground on the garden, and consider growing your own kitchen garden - perhaps using some of the Renewing America's Food Traditions (RAFT) Grow-out foods.

The game, now called Def Jam: Fight for NY, was only shown behind closed doors, but we bullied our way through to check it out. What we saw was surprising and exciting. It appears EA is trying to get away from the wrestling stigma, and wants Fight For NY to be considered a "street fighting" game. That's all well and good, but it sure the heck plays like a wrestling game -- albeit one that rarely takes place inside of a ring.
Rappin' On Yo' Head
Vendetta had about a dozen well-known rappers, all members of the Def Jam family. Things have been blown out to a ridiculous extreme, as now there are over 40 hip hop artists and celebrities. Back are Ludacris, Method Man, Red Man, and other favorites. They're now joined by Snoop Dogg, Ice T, and Public Enemy's Flavor Flav. As you see, the cast is far from confined to Def Jam performers. Some well known ladies even get into the act, with Carmen Electra and Lil' Kim showing that the women gotta get theirs, too. With a cast like this, you know the soundtrack is going to tear the roof off.
Each one is graced with an amazing likeness, as well as recorded voice samples. An early favorite was hearing Red Man say, during his intro, "I'm gonna take your tongue out and lick my ass with it." No wonder this guy got his own TV series on Fox. All told, Fight For NY has a roster of playable characters that's over 70 deep -- large enough to contend with any fighting game out there, wrestling-based or otherwise.
This Bud's for you, foo'!
The Story mode -- which is where you'll unlock everything else from -- uses many of the celebs for its parts, much like actors in an action movie. Carmen Electra plays the girlfriend in distress. You''ll hit up Busta Rhymes for info. Even rock's most intense monster, Henry Rollins, shows up as the owner of a gym where you'll train at. This mode really has a cinematic feel to it.
About the only unknown in the equation is your created player. The player creator is both clever and robust. Its interface is disguised like you're describing to a police artist what a suspect looks like. Pick facial features and body parts, and the finished composite sketch ends up being what your character will look like. Accentuate your attitude by unlocking licensed Phat Farm or Rokawear gear, bling-bling, or dozens of other items.

It certainly has now. Three years since I've written here? WOW! I really did not intend for it be such a long time. But it has been.
I'm still struggling with writing. Not much has really changed on that front in the last three years. I guess that's why I haven't blogged here. I mean do you guys really want to hear me complain about not being able to write...all...the...time? Or almost all the time? I don't think so. I didn't want to bore you with the complaints.
I still want and hope to continue and finish the story I started writing in 2005. As I may have mentioned before, it was going fairly well I thought. I was getting words written, I was researching ideas. I even was starting to work on it for NaNoWriMo.
But then in November of 2006, my world went into a tailspin and turned upside down. I put NaNo on hold. My Grandmother died on Thanksgiving day. It was one of the worst days and worst weeks of my life. The day she died, the words stopped flowing and my Muse grew silent. I don't know if my Muse was somehow connected to my Grandma. I do know she believed in me. She supported my hopes and dreams. At that time, she was probably the only person who did.
Since that time, I have tried on and off to write. Something, anything! In 2007, I met a friend online (in WoW). He was a writer too. And we would talk about things, about writing, writer's block and the like. He offered to help me out of my block by tag team writing a collaboration. Now this wasn't anything we were going to publish. It was just for us, to get the juices flowing. And so it began with he starting a story (or did I start? I don't recall now.) and sending it to me. I would add to it and send it back. Then we discovered Google Documents and put it there, so all we had to do I email each other when we had done our addition. It was going pretty good too. Until he said we needed to do something different. Unwittingly, I apparently was writing too closely to an idea he was working on for a novel he wanted to publish. I had no idea! I didn't even know what his novel, a trilogy if I recall, was going to be about.
So we started a new story. And we worked on that for a bit. Then I don't know what happened. He suddenly didn't have time anymore. He grew distant, and now we don't even speak anymore. It's sad really. I miss my friend. I thought he was my friend anyway. Maybe I was wrong?
Every year though, I try to do NaNoWriMo. The last couple of years, I have also tried to do other WriMos in between. None with much success. But I keep trying. So now here we are in August of 2013. There's a challenge starting September 1st. To write 2 pages a day from September 1st until the end of the year. IF you can do that, you have the first draft of a completed manuscript. I plan to try. If I miss a day, that's okay. I'm not going to put pressure on myself and stress out if I can't get a day done.
To kind of prepare myself for it, I have been trying something new. For the last week or so, I have been writing in a notebook before I go to sleep. I pick a random memory from my childhood and write it down from the "Character's" POV. It's more like she's viewing the memories in her mind. At first, I started this with the idea of the MC being a version of my 17 year old self. But I'm thinking now, I want to change that somewhat.
The good news is I am writing! It may not be my original story, but it's a start.
Wednesday, August 28, 2013
It's Been Awhile, Hasn't It?
It certainly has now. Three years since I've written here? WOW! I really did not intend for it be such a long time. But it has been.

Tip-top article.
Note that the spec is changing: Tab Atkins of the CSS Working Group (who works for Google) has written up his proposals that, in my opinion, greatly simplify the syntax http://www.xanthir.com/blog/b49B0
The W3C are also beginning to harmonise CSS and SVG effects such as gradients, transforms etc – you can read more about in Postcards from TPAC which I published a few days ago: http://my.opera.com/ODIN/blog/show.dml/22020902#svg
What the whole syntax-battle has shown is the value of CSS vendor prefixes. Now we can all harmonise on one syntax without -moz, -webkit, or -o and everyone's lives get easier.

Afghan spy chief Asadullah Khalid wounded in Kabul attack
Afghan intelligence chief Asadullah Khalid has been wounded in a suspected suicide bombing in Kabul. The National Directorate of Security (NDS) head was injured in his lower body by the blast, interior ministry officials told the BBC.
The explosion took place in the Taymeni area of central Kabul. The Taliban said they carried out the attack.
An intelligence official said the bombing took place in one of many guesthouses used by Mr Khalid. Another intelligence official told the BBC that Mr Khalid was "safe" but did not elaborate on his condition.
However, a Western diplomat told the AFP news agency that he had been seriously wounded. Afghan officials also told AFP that he was now in hospital receiving blood transfusions.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai described the attack as "a cowardly act of terrorism".
He said that Mr Khalid is being operated on and doctors had told him that the intelligence chief "is doing well".
The attack is similar to a suicide bombing in September 2011 that killed the chairman of the Afghan High Peace Council, Burhanuddin Rabbani, officials say.

A set of standards being implemented in schools statewide, including in Onslow County, is at the center of political controversy.
A set of standards being implemented in schools statewide, including in Onslow County, is at the center of political controversy.
But Onslow County resident Cathy Harris wanted to find out for herself about Common Core by attending a recent presentation to the county Board of Education's on the program.
�You hear, hear, hear, hear, but you don�t know if it�s true or not,� she said.
Harris said the presentation didn�t offer new information and made it sound as if folks took something and made a big deal out of it, but she wonders if there is more to it because �there�s just too much unrest with this.�
The Common Core State Standards set out what students are expected to learn in math and English language arts, according to the Common Core website. Onslow County Schools has been working to implement the standards for four years, according to Lesley Eason, assistant superintendent of instructional services and continuous improvement.
�The reality of the situation is, in North Carolina and in Onslow County we speak of this in the past tense,� she said.
During the 2009-10 school year, the system made the district aware of the development of new state standards and began training to adjust the curriculum, instruction and assessment, or CIA.
�The training consisted of this: How do you as a classroom teacher work with curriculum? How do you determine instructional strategies? And how do you assess your children?� Eason told the board, staff members and audience of five area citizens.
The next school year brought research on the new standards, providing input to the state and beginning the train the trainer model, where teachers are trained and then train other teachers at their school. That summer, teachers attended a CIA summer institute.
During the 2011-12 school year, teachers were able to learn about the standards during weekly �unpacking� sessions with district employees. That summer, teachers attended the Common Core Summer Institute in preparation for the 2012-13 school year where the standards were implemented as part of the North Carolina Revised Standard Course of Study.
Eason walked board members through several scenarios on how Common Core standards are implemented, highlighting that the standards encourage teachers to teach subjects in several different ways. For example, elementary school students learning fractions would be given several explanations on the subject.
�Of those five ways, one child may attach himself to that first explanation and one child may attach himself to that fourth explanation,� she said.
The standards also allow teachers to see what students learn before that grade level and what they will learn after that grade level in order to prepare them, Eason explained.
�It doesn�t tell me exactly what I need to do because I am the professional in the classroom,� she said.
Eason explained that the standards apply only to math and English/language arts classes.
�When we are talking about Common Core state standards in the state of North Carolina we are talking about two subject areas, and we have professionals and children who flourish in a lot of subject areas so ultimately what we�re talking about now is the revised North Carolina standard course of study,� she said.
The standard course of study defines content of each grade level and each high school course to provide a uniform set of standards for public schools in North Carolina, according to the N.C. Department of Public Instruction.
Board member Mary Ann Sharpe said that she was convinced nothing would change her mind about the standards, which she learned more about by studying online and listening to other people.
�I think this has been very informative, and it�s answered a lot of questions that I have had,� she said.
Sharpe said that she felt the school system needed to start educating the public about the standards and how they�ve been implemented in Onslow County Schools.
�I think people have misconceptions because they don�t understand,� she said.
Elizabeth Berg, a retired teacher who opposes to the standards, said she attended the meeting to see what school staff shared with the board. The Jacksonville resident said that she wants to see students return to the basics with smaller classrooms and an emphasis on writing, literacy and spelling, among other things.
�Academics is not a science, it�s an art,� she said, explaining that each child learns differently.
Berg said that she would have liked to learn more about the creators of Common Core and their intentions at the presentation rather than what was implemented within the local school system.
Eason suggested that parents who want to learn more about the standards should talk to school leaders or read the standards themselves.
�The resources are available,� she said.

Kroes is worried about Oracle's incentive to further develop MySQL. Oracle is the largest proprietary database software company, and Sun the leading open source database company. Kroes is worried that this deal could negatively affect consumer choice "when the world's biggest proprietary database company proposes to take over the world's leading open-source database company".
"In the current economic context, all companies are looking for cost-effective (information-technology) solutions, and systems based on open-source software are increasingly emerging as viable alternatives to proprietary solutions," Kroes explained, "The commission has to ensure that such alternatives would continue to be available."
One of the prime reasons for concern for the EC is that the database market is a very concentrated one. Three companies, Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle, control about 85% of the market. Increasing adoption of MySQL could threaten Oracle's business, which could lead to Oracle neglecting MySQL.
The EC has launched a deep investigation into this deal, but they reiterated that it may pass EU scrutiny without problems. If the EU's investigation does turn up problems, then remedies will have to be conjured up; MySQL could be sold off, or the companies involved would have to make binding assurances about the future of MySQL.
Oracle and Sun had no comment on the EC probe.

"Wabash Sings Through You"by Patrick White • September 15, 2008 Share:
President Pat White's Remarks from the Big Bash Banquet, Friday, June 6, 2008
I welcome you to Big Bash 2008; I welcome you home to Wabash.
In coming home to Wabash, you come back to this College, this place that seems at once so familiar and, for some, quite strange and new.
All day today, I have heard compliments expressing how beautiful the college looks. And it does. The grass is green and trimmed, the buildings beautiful and beautifully maintained.
But the real beauty is in the faces of the men you see, faces that seem, even for the men of the year 2003, seem, different, changed, old, and yet eerily the same, old and young at the same time.
In the early nineties, Steven Spielberg made a film called Hook. It was a version of the familiar tale of Peter Pan, only in this movie, Peter Pan had grown up. He was now middle aged, with a few extra pounds, and played by Robin Williams. He has forgotten his past in Never Land, but when the terrible Captain Hook kidnaps Peter's children he is called back to Never Land, but his old friends, the lost boys cannot recognize him; they cannot believe that this baggy middle aged man is the famous Peter Pan.
Yet in one wonderful scene, when no one believes, a little lost boy probably about four year's old, comes up to Robin Williams and presses on his face, stretching out the wrinkles, flattening the bulges, until he sees and exclaims with wide-eyed wonder, "Ah, there you are, Peter."
I sometimes look at the old yearbooks to see what the alumni I am meeting might have looked like when they were students. The simple way to do that is to look up the name and then find the familiar face. This time, though, with the Class of 1958, I blocked out the names and just looked at the faces, seeing if I could see the young in the older faces I knew.
So I looked at the yearbook for the Class of 1958 and I see:
A gleam in the eye of one handsome young man, and I pause and say, "Ah, there you are Ross Faires."
Or I see a straightforward serious gaze on a face that I more often see broadly smiling and laughing, and I say, "Ah there you are, Gordon Colson."
Or an easy open smile on a man I just met a couple of weeks ago, and I say, "Oh there you are Joe Costanza
And I see a ready alert look of bright eagerness and I say, "Ah there you are John Banghart."
And on and on. And I am sure you are having the same experience, even more intently recognizing in voices, gestures, the way this one leans to listen or that one shakes your hand, or this one waves, you are seeing again the faces of long ago, the brothers of your youth.
And you recognize them. To recognize is to know again and out of that knowing comes re-union.
You recognize and are one again together.
You can do this because you have never really left Wabash, or to put it a better way….Wabash has never left you.
Wherever you go, there is Wabash.
To your friends, your associates, to potential students and friends of the College you ARE Wabash College, and when you give voice to the mission of the College through the way that
You think critically,
Act responsibly,
Lead effectively
And live humanely,
Wabash sings through you, and it is a beautiful song indeed.
Through recognition, through knowing again, a reunion makes us one again, and we are all one in Wabash tonight
So I thank the class of 1958 for this wonderful gift, for the loyalty in represents, and even more for the dreams for the future of the College that will endure and thrive long after we are gone.
I thank you all for continuing to love this college and to recognize in one another Wabash at its best.
With loyal eyes you see again with the eyes of young men, the hopes and possibilities of this college, and Wabash remains forever young in your eyes, forever full of possibilities and promise for you and for all the men who have come after you and will continue to come to this College, men who, like you, will recognize the greatness in themselves and in their brothers and live for the rest of their lives forever and always transformed by the experience of this great college.
Thank you so much for coming. Have a great weekend.

I planned to focus on South America in this week's column. That was until Royal Caribbean decided to send its newest, feature-laden, technologically superior ship — Quantum of the Seas (to be launched this fall) — to its new permanent home in Shanghai.
The ship will spend the upcoming winter in New York, operating short cruises ranging from four to eight days.
I didn't see this coming, nor did anyone else associated with cruising ... except those in the Royal Caribbean boardroom.
I was on Vancouver Island this week to speak about past and future changes in the industry. I explained to the audience that this change was way ahead of schedule. In the industry, it's something of a game-changer because a North American cruise line is sending its newest, brightest star into a foreign market.
As surprising as this move is, it really shouldn't be. Let's face it, BMW doesn't send last year's model to China. Neither does any western company that wants to do business with one of the fastest-growing middle-class populations in the world.
Because China is an emerging cruise market, seasoned ships have been cruising in those markets. Royal Caribbean is betting that newer will work better.
Quantum of the Seas will offer Chinese passengers some features they haven't seen: a skydiving simulator (RipCord); a glass capsule extending 90 metres over the ship (North Star); a sports and entertainment complex (Seaplex); and the Two70, a multi-entertainment area being dubbed an "architectural marvel." All are new to the industry.
Quantum won't be lonely. Fleet mates Mariner of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas, both from the Voyager Class, will sail from various Asian ports in the winter.
While Quantum is in New York this winter, the ship will be operating mostly seven-day cruises to Florida and the Bahamas.
By the way, Princess Cruise Lines is also joining the Asian movement, having refurbished the Diamond Princess specifically for the Japanese market. Princess will sail from Yokohama (Tokyo). The line has added features that are attractive to the Japanese market, including a large indoor and outdoor Japanese bathing experience.
When she leaves for China next spring, the Freedom Class ship Liberty of the Seas will take over in the Big Apple, with five-night (Bermuda) and nine-night (eastern Caribbean) cruises. That will be followed by four- to nine-night sailings to Canada and New England in the summer.
After spending next summer in Europe, Quantum of the Seas' sister ship, Anthem of the Seas, will be based out of New York. This allows Liberty of the Seas to move from New York to Galveston, where she will be the first Freedom Class ship servicing that market, an attraction for cruisers living in the western half of North America.
North America and Europe have always been the main part of any discussion by the cruise lines as to where they will deploy their ships. With the deployment of Quantum of the Seas to China, both Asia and Australia have nudged their way into future conversations.
Phil's Pick of the Week
This cruise on Royal Caribbean's Voyageur of the Seas doesn't sail until 2015, but it offers a combo Australia and Asia experience. Price is per person double occupancy.
Departure: April 1, 2015 from Fremantle, Australia, to Singapore
Duration: 14 days
Ports: Port Hedland, Bangkok (overnight) and Ho Chi Minh, lots of sea days.
Price: $1,452. See Royalcaribbean.com or a cruise travel agent.

Southern California's Marqise Lee turned in one of college football's best offensive performances in years this weekend. Too bad his team lost.
The sophomore receiver caught 16 passes for a Pac 12-record 345 yards against Arizona. He finished with 469 all-purpose yards thanks to his three kick returns for 123 yards, including a 72-yarder that set up the Trojans' last touchdown in a 39-36 loss.
No Football Bowl Subdivision player had piled up as many receiving yards in a game since Donnie Avery of Houston had 346 against Rice in 2007, according to STATS LLC.
Lee's all-purpose yardage was the most since Reggie Bush, another USC Trojan, piled up 513 against Fresno State in 2005.
Despite his big game against Arizona and two other 190-plus-yard receiving games, Lee is well behind national leader Terrence Williams of Baylor.
Williams averages 171.9 yards receiving. Lee is second at 141.1.
The second-best receiving performance of the week also came in that USC-Arizona game. The Wildcats' Austin Hill had 10 catches for 259 yards.
HAPPY RETURNS: Utah's Reggie Dunn had two 100-yard kickoff returns in a 49-27 win over California and now has three in his career.
He's the 16th player in NCAA history to record two touchdowns on kick returns in a game.
Dunn totaled 222 kick return yards on three returns, setting both an NCAA record and school record for kickoff return average in a game (74.0).
MICHIGAN MALAISE: Michigan has gone two straight games without a touchdown - the Wolverines' longest drought since 1962.
Their most recent TD came in the fourth quarter of a 45-0 win over Illinois on Oct. 13. All the Wolverines could muster against Michigan State (12-10 win) and Nebraska (23-9 loss) was a combined seven field goals.
The last time Michigan went without a touchdown for so long was during the 2-7 campaign in 1962, when Michigan State, Purdue and Minnesota shut out the Wolverines in succession.
TACKLE MACHINES: Three of the season's top four tackle performances occurred this past weekend, two of them by teammates.
Nevada's Albert Rosette made a school-record 25 tackles and fellow Wolf Pack linebacker Dray Bell 22 in a 48-31 loss to Air Force. Bell, a senior, was making his first career start.
UAB linebacker Marvin Burdette made a school-record 24 tackles in a 55-45 loss to Tulane. His big outing followed consecutive 17-tackle outings against East Carolina and Houston.
Burdette averages a nation-leading 13 tackles.
FUMBLE PHENOM: Iowa State defensive back Durrell Givens is one of those guys who just has a nose for the football. The senior from Long Beach, Calif., recovered two fumbles and forced another in the Cyclones' 35-21 win over Baylor.
Givens leads the nation with five fumble recoveries in eight games. He has forced three fumbles, tying for 17th.
HIGH-SCORING DUCKS: Oregon's 70-14 win over Colorado padded the Ducks' status as the highest scoring team in the land.
They're averaging 53.4 points a game, just ahead of Louisiana Tech.
The Ducks have scored 40 or more points in 11 straight games and 30 or more in 21 straight - the longest such streaks in the nation. Oregon is 40-2 when exceeding 30 points in the Chip Kelly era.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – A little muscle and grit made sure Wittenberg didn't rally past the Little Giants here Saturday afternoon. Wabash used an extended, clock-killing drive for a 27-24 NCAC win.
The annual heavyweight showdown came on Witt's homecoming weekend. "We made a ton of mistakes today," Coach Erik Raeburn said.. "But you don't schedule Bash for homecoming."
The Tigers stole second half momentum several times and seemingly were poised to do it again when Jimmy Dehnke scored from 6 yards, 27-24, with just over nine minutes to play. But Wabash responded with one of the more memorable drives in recent years.
The Little Giants took over with 9:32 remaining. The line provided holes just big enough for 17 plays covering 48 yards. The final play of the drive was kneel down.
"It's pretty simple. Wabash always fights," said running Tyler Holmes who ran the ball 12 of the 17 plays. "That's what it took on the last drive. Coming into it, I knew it was going to be all run and if we got it, we'd win. I was going to do what I could and I knew the line would do what it did all game."
And the line opened holes big enough to chew up the clock and secure the win. "We ran two plays - inside zone to the left and outside zone to the right," left guard Mark Riffle said. We just kept hammering and hammering. They were tired and we were in shape. That's what we do at practice, constant reps. Their guys were huffing and puffing."
The win put Wabash right back in the middle of the NCAC conference race. Allegheny and Ohio Wesleyan are unbeaten in league play while both Wabash and Wittenberg have one loss. The win was significant for Coach Erik Raeburn, not just the second straight over Witt but the 100th of his career.
"It's hard to get a win here so it doesn't matter what number it is," Raeburn said. "It feels good. I'm proud of our guys and how hard they played."
The Little Giants got off to a dominating start with a touchdown from defensive end Charlie Kolisek, who lined up as a tight end. Holmes added two-yard score before Witt found the first half scoredboard with a field goal, 13-3.
One of the game's big moments was the opening kickoff of the second half when the Little Giants forced sa fumble. The Wabash offense wasted no time putting seven more on the board behind a Chase Belton four-yard run. Belton had an efficient day passing hitting on 12 of 17 for 218 yards.
But Witt, as these two teams always do, just wouldn't go away. Dehnke picked up touchdown runs of nine and two yards to pull the Tigers to 20-17.
That set up Wabash for its first big gutsy response. After a swap of possessions, the Little Giants covered 86 yards in eight plays with a key component Andrew Gibson's 30-yard catch. C.P. Porter ran it in it to push the margin back to ten points, 27-17.
The defense held Witt but on the following punt Wabash was assessed its third personal foul of the game. The mental breakdown was followed by a fumble on the first play of scrimmage handing the ball right back to Witt.
Dehnke then ran on five of the six following plays, including a six yard score, 27-24. That set up the impressive run by Wabash to finish the game. The freshman back ran 24 times for 11 yards and three scores.
Raeburn was not happy with the mistakes and mental breakdowns but was beaming over the way his offense performed, particularly on the final drive.
"It wasn't perfect by any stretch," the coach said. "We made a ton of stupid mistakes and kept giving them chances but I'm really happy with our team's overall effort.
"On that last drive, we sustained the blocks a little longer. We were close in first half of popping a couple of runs and their defensive linemen and linebackers were doing a good job of getting off the blocks. Particularly in the fourth quarter, we finished our blocks a little better."
The Little Giants ran the ball 52 times for 169 yards. Holmes led all ball carriers with 20 carries for 76 yards. Porter had 14 carries for 47.
The 169 yards was key against a defense Raeburn praised as tough and physical.
"The line is starting to feel comfortable at each position and as a unit we're picking up each other's tendencies," Riffle said. "We're communicating better. We've been putting in the time in film and it shows."
Cody Buresh led the defense with 10 tackle. Nate Scola added nine stops and AJ Akinribade had 8 tackles.
"Witt was running quarterback read a lot," Buresh said. "Our defensive linemen were getting washed down. We figured it out and made adjustments. The hard hat defense and had to go to work."
Wabash travels to Washington University-St. Louis next weekend.
