Hornacek returns to Suns as head coach
Phoenix, AZ – The Phoenix Suns made it official on Tuesday and named Jeff Hornacek their new head coach.
Hornacek played 468 games with the Suns from 1986-92 and spent the past three seasons as an assistant coach with the Utah Jazz. He was also a shooting coach for three years with the Jazz before becoming a full-time assistant.
"We are thrilled to introduce Jeff Hornacek as the new head coach of the Phoenix Suns," said Suns general manager Ryan McDonough. "Jeff has all of the qualities we were looking for in a head coach -- he is a leader, a teacher and a student of the game. Jeff's name has been high on our list ever since my first interview with the Suns. His successes as a player and as an assistant coach, along with his deep ties to this franchise and this community, give us confidence that he will do great things as the next head coach of the Phoenix Suns."
The Suns selected Hornacek in the second round of the 1986 NBA Draft. He averaged 13.7 points with the franchise before being traded to Philadelphia in the summer of 1992 as part of the blockbuster deal that sent Charles Barkley to Phoenix.
Hornacek spent just one full season with the 76ers, then played for Utah from 1994-2000. He helped the Jazz to NBA Finals appearances in 1997 and '98.
In 1,077 career NBA games over 14 seasons, Hornacek averaged 14.5 points and reached the playoffs 11 times. He was a 1992 All-Star and finished his career as the one of the top shooters in the NBA, connecting on 40.3 percent from beyond the arc and 87.7 percent from the free throw line.
Hornacek will take over a Phoenix team that was just 25-57 this past season. Alvin Gentry was fired as head coach in January and interim Lindsey Hunter was not retained following the team's worst season since a 16-66 mark in its inaugural campaign of 1968-69.

Zimmerman's lawyers release bloody nose photo
(CBS) -- The defense team for George Zimmerman, charged with killing unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin in February, released a color photo of Zimmerman with a bloody nose.
Pictures: George Zimmerman charged with murder
Zimmerman's lawyers say the photo was taken by a police officer on February 26, the night 17-year-old Martin was shot and killed nearby his father's home in Sanford, Fla. The 29-year-old has pleaded not guilty to the second-degree murder charges and was released from Seminole County Jail on $1 million bond in July.
The photo was published on GZlegalcase.com, a website created by Zimmerman and his defense attorneys. Although the same picture was made public earlier this year as black-and-white photocopy, this high-resolution version comes shortly after the same website announced a "thank you" card defense fund to raise money for Zimmerman.
Lawyers on both sides of the case disagree on the picture's significance.
"It's not a game changer," Zimmerman lawyer Mark O'Mara told Reuters, adding its only importance was how it vividly showed the injuries Zimmrman sustained during his confrontation with Martin.
"Does it really show what happened that night to George? Yes," O'Mara said.
An attorney who represents Martin's family, Ben Crump, told Reuters the photo adds nothing new to the case.
"Trayvon Martin was defending himself. He had every right to stand his ground to defend himself," Crump said.

LAS VEGAS — Dish Network on Monday unveiled new products and features that will make it easier for consumers to view their subscribed channels anywhere, even without a broadband connection.
"We've discovered that our customers want their video content to be affordable, easy to use and available anywhere," Dish chief executive Joe Clayton said during the satellite-TV provider's presentation at the International Consumer Electronics Show.
The Douglas County-based company's Hopper HD DVR and companion Joey set-top box, announced at last year's CES amid a corporate relaunch, have penetrated about 2 million homes in less than a year.
The second generation Hopper will integrate Sling technology to allow users to view content on tablets and smartphones via a mobile app and broadband connection. A feature called Hopper Transfers will allow users to move TV recordings from the "Hopper with Sling" set-top box to an iPad for viewing when an Internet connection isn't available.
Monday was press day at CES, with major exhibitors rolling out product announcements. The trade show, with more than 3,300 exhibitors, runs Tuesday through Friday.
Clayton told the audience that Dish, which has 14 million satellite-TV subscribers, will reveal details about its mobile broadband plans at future press and analyst events.
In an interview with The Denver Post, Clayton said all options remain open on wireless, including offering prepaid and contract service.
"We're investigating all of our alternatives," he said. "The wireless landscape is changing dramatically, and we believe we're well positioned to participate in that because we have a solid balance sheet and we have very valuable spectrum. And the consumer, that's where he's going."
He said Dish is considering "addressable advertising" in which the company monitors what subscribers are watching to deliver targeted ads.
"A husband, wife and two young kids, you might send a Pampers ad to them, but not a Viagra commercial," he said. "That's what we're talking about — just blanketing a commercial over a wide audience is not the most effective from an economic standpoint."
Dish chairman Charlie Ergen was at the press conference but didn't address the audience.
One of the big questions heading into CES 2013 is how Samsung would follow up a year in which it launched a series of successful consumer gadgets like the popular Galaxy S III smartphone.
At its press event, the electronics giant focused on TVs, perhaps in response to rumors that Apple is preparing to jump into the living room with an Apple-powered TV set. Samsung unveiled a new, high-powered smart TV called the F8000 and a videotape-sized kit that allows consumers to upgrade old TVs.
The F8000 has a bezel that's under a quarter of an inch. It has an S-Recommendation feature that understands language and responds to voice searches. No more fumbling with TV guides.
"Your TV is almost human," said Samsung USA president Tim Baxter.
The Samsung Evolution Kit easily snaps into the back of an older Samsung TV, essentially giving it a "brain transplant" by adding a quad-core processor and other features.
The company also said it will produce a 110-inch Ultra HD TV, which is four times sharper than regular HD.

This is definitely the most competitive group out of the lot.
I would say Australia and Sri Lanka but I wouldn't be surprised if the West Indies team didn't pull out a victory and got in the super 8.
Is Dwayne Smith playing for WI in this WC?
This is the most interesting group
i'm not against Australians
but i think Srilanka & westindies 'll be through
although Australia should go through
In the end, each team has relative strengths and weaknesses. Totally dependent on what occurs game-day, is the nature of the T20 contest. Impossible to compare squads, past form, pitch conditions.
Who's to know if Mendis will take 5 wickets against Australia? Gayle score 80 off 42 against Sri Lanka? Warner and Watson to score 100 in the first 12 overs against West Indies. Will be a great contest between the sides.
Hey sorry
i didn't say i want to see Australia lose
i always support Australia after pakistan gets out of the tournament lol
i was just guessing that i feel West indies & srilanka go through
Australia should win this group with Sri Lanka close behind and West Indies losing by lots.
Hayden Ross
This group could easily have one team win a match. What happens then, run rate? Seems a bit of a daft way to organise things.
Well if this group ends up having 2 points each team & teams go through on run rate basis, it'll be unfortunate for the 3rd team
cuz already this is the most difficult group
cuz other groups 've 1 relatively easy team so it'll be unfortunate for the 3rd team in this group

Last Friday, the Organization of American States released a groundbreaking report on the future of drug policy in the Americas. The OAS received the mandate to produce this document at the Summit of the Americas last year in Cartagena, Colombia, where some presidents aired their frustration with the war on drugs and even suggested legalization as an alternative to fight the cartels.
The document is based on solid premises:
- Drug violence is one of the greatest challenges facing the Americas
- The current approach is a failure isn't working
- New policy alternatives need to be discussed and implemented
- Drug use will remain significant by 2025
These premises might seem pretty obvious, but when it comes to drug policy, stating the obvious hasn't been the norm for those who believe in the status quo: for example, in 1988 the UN held an event titled "A drug-free world: we can do it" (consumption of marijuana and cocaine has increased by 50 percent since then). Or the latest National Drug Control Strategy, which claims that the greatest accomplishment of the Mérida Initiative with Mexico has been "the mutual fostering of security, protection and prosperity" (never mind the 60,000 people killed in drug violence in six years in Mexico).
The OAS report avoids recounting this fairy tale. It also avoids making recommendations, given the lack of consensus among its authors about where drug policy should be headed in the next 12 years. Instead, the document lays out four different interpretations of the "drug problem" and presents the scenarios of what the response should be. The report also presents the challenges facing each scenario (name in bold):
Together: Under this scenario, the problem is not drug laws but weak institutions. It foresees greater security and intelligence cooperation among nations, more expenditure in the security and judiciary apparatuses and tougher laws dealing with corruption, gun trafficking and money laundering.
Latin American countries indeed suffer from weak institutions. The shortcoming of this scenario is that prohibition actually exacerbates the problem since it inflates the profit margins of the cartels to stratospheric levels, thus increasing their corrupting and violent power. In 2010 all seven Central American countries combined spent nearly $4 billion in their security and judiciary apparatuses (a 60 percent increase in five years). And yet that fell terribly short of the estimated revenues of the Mexican and Colombian cartels which, according to a report from the Justice Department, could reach up to $39 billion a year.
The report foresees another challenge with this approach: a disparity among countries in their institution-building efforts, which would lead to the balloon effect of criminal activities. This is perhaps the main feature of the drug business in the Americas: its high capacity to adapt to changing circumstances. For example, in the early 1990s, as pressure grew on coca growers in Peru they moved to Colombia. Now, after a decade of eradication programs in that nation, they are moving back to Peru. Overall the Andean region continues to produce the same amount of cocaine as it did 20 years ago.
Over the years the common denominator of the war on drugs in Latin America has been the attempt to export the problem to your neighbor. Greater cooperation, harmonization of efforts, and same-pace institution building seems unrealistic.

December 17, 2009
LOS ANGELES -- The UCLA Anderson Marketing and Communications Creative Services group was selected as a winner in Graphic Design USA's 2009 American Inhouse Design Awards for the 2009 UCLA Anderson MBA Catalog and Resource Guide. UCLA Anderson's Creative Services team is comprised of designers Cornelia Marsh and Lark London and writer/editor Diana Greenwood. According to Marsh, who served as spokesperson for the group, the catalog was "a totally collaborative effort."
Marsh also credited Mae Jennifer Shores, UCLA Anderson's Assistant Dean of Admissions and Jessica Luchenta, Assistant Director of Admissions, for their essential input and participation in the final products.

Osborne, whose office oversees the Marketing and Communications unit. "The catalog and resource guide are essential elements in our efforts to attract the best students to UCLA Anderson and the program catalogues are an excellent way to make a positive impression on potential candidates."
This year, there were over 4,000 entrants in the 2009 American Inhouse Design Awards. The awards honored projects that were produced in the year 2008 and included not only educational institutions, but also public and private companies and organizations of every ilk. Less than 400 entrants received such recognition.

Dr. Todd Steen of the Hope College economics faculty has been named the first recipient of the college's new Granger Endowed Professorship in Economics, Management and Accounting.
Dr. Todd Steen of the Hope College economics faculty has been named the first recipient of the college's new Granger Endowed Professorship in Economics, Management and Accounting.
The professorship is designated for an outstanding member of the faculty in the department of economics, management and accounting with a spiritually mature Christian faith whose teaching and actions are exemplary; and who makes a positive difference in the lives of Hope students, sharing his or her own Christianity to help them grow in their own faith, and the world beyond. It has been established by Ron and Donna Granger of Lansing, Mich. who are pictured with Prof. Steen.
In addition to recognizing faculty members for excellence, endowed professorships provide funding for summer research projects as well as some salary support. The college has a total of 19 endowed professorships for faculty and two endowed chaplaincies.
"Endowed professorships make a very real difference to the college by providing an opportunity to recognize outstanding members of the faculty and supporting their work as scholars and teachers," said Dr. James E. Bultman, president of Hope College. "Ron and Donna Granger are business leaders known for demonstrating their Christian faith by investing their time, talent and financial resources, and making a positive difference in the community. We are grateful for their longtime involvement in the life of the college, which has included not only generous financial support but participation first as the parents of students and, more recently, as the grandparents of students at Hope."
"Todd Steen is a respected member of the faculty who makes a significant difference through his teaching and scholarship. He is a mentor and a person of faith in the lives of his students, in his discipline and in the community," Bultman said. "He is a most deserving inaugural recipient of the new Granger Professorship."
A professor of economics, Steen has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1988. His appointment to the endowed professorship will become effective July 1, 2009.
Steen's interests include labor economics and Christian perspectives on economics. His courses at the college have included Principles of Macroeconomics, Labor Economics, Christianity and the Marketplace, Econometrics, First-Year Seminar, Economic Themes and Topics, Internships in Vocation and Intermediate Macroeconomics.
He has published dozens of articles and reviews in a variety of journals, including "Population Research and Policy Review," "International Journal of Social Economics," "Perspectives" and "The Christian Century," and he has also made numerous presentations at professional conferences. He has served as the managing editor of "Christian Scholar's Review" since 1994.
In 1996, "The Christian Century" received an "Award of Merit" from the Associated Church Press" for the article "Justice Among the Generations," which he wrote with Hope colleague Dr. Robin Klay. In 1993, the college's graduating class presented him with the 29th annual "Hope Outstanding Professor Educator" (H.O.P.E.) award.
In addition to his teaching, he has been involved in the life of the college in a variety of ways. Among other current activities, he serves as co-coordinator of his department of economics, management and accounting's Internship in Vocation program, which he helped develop; is faculty advisor of the college's chapter of the Omicron Delta Epsilon economics honorary society; and is on the coordinating committee of the Hope College Pew Society. His past activities include having developed and coordinated the mentoring program for students in the department of economics, management and accounting, and having served as faculty advisor of the college's chapter of Mortar Board.
He is in his 10th year on the board of trustees of the Holland Christian Schools, currently serving as president. He has participated in a variety of ministries at Park Christian Reformed Church, where his wife Suzie serves as director of adult ministries. His activities also include past service on the Compensation Committee of Christian Schools International.
Steen holds a Bachelor of Science degree in geography from Pennsylvania State University, a Bachelor of Arts in economics from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and a Master of Arts and doctorate in economics from Harvard University. His doctoral dissertation was on the economics of child care.
Ron and Donna Granger have four children and 13 grandchildren. Three of their children attended Hope, their eldest grandchild graduated from Hope in 2007, and three of their grandchildren and a grandnephew are attending Hope currently.
Ron and Donna have been longtime supporters of the college's annual Hope Fund. They also established the Ronald Keith and Donna Mae Granger Scholarship Fund at Hope in 2004. The scholarship is designed to provide financial assistance for deserving students with financial need, with preference given to graduating students from Lansing Christian High School.
Ron is co-chairman of the board of his family-owned business, Granger III & Associates. Granger is a leader in performing environmental management-related services; specifically in the area of solid-waste collection and disposal, recycling, composting and landfill gas-to-energy applications.
Ron and Donna are active in their church, Mt. Hope United Methodist in Lansing, as well as their private foundation which was established with Ron's two brothers and their wives in 1978.

Reader Eddie B. was enjoying a French cruller this morning at a Westchester Dunkin' Donuts when this lady, in an apparent rush, drove through the store. He writes in:
I guess this woman was REALLY excited about the 6 donut special because she drove her car over the 20 feet of sidewalk, thru a garbage can and bench and right into the DD. And this was not a drive-thru! Luckily, I didn't see anyone get injured which is amazing considering it was 7:45am on a Friday morning.
That is amazing. Just yesterday, Bill Simmons tweeted that Dunkin coffee was no longer strong enough for his tastes. He demanded they put cocaine in their blend. It appears they heard you loud and clear, Billy Boy. LOUD AND FACKIN' CLEE-AH.

Trying to Keep Up
Now that the kids are no longer in the diapers or toddler stage, I somehow thought I would have more time to do other things, like blogging. I don't know where the time is going these days. It feels like I am losing my grip. At the same time, I am more productive at work than I have been in years. I have almost sworn off TV (except for that inane soap opera I have been watching almost since birth). Even so, I can hardly find time for my hobbies of photography, spinning, and knitting.
January has been a wonderful month. Pete turned 50 on the 2nd and we had an amazing party at a restored hotel in downtown Bakersfield. The place was beautiful and the turnout was nice even though snowy weather kept the passes closed and kept our friends from Southern California away. Chloe turned 7 on the 19th. She seems so grown up (sometimes). For nearly a year she has been asking for us to take her to the snow for her birthday. So on the weekend before the 19th, that's just what we did. We escaped the dreary winter fog of the Central Valley to play in the sun-filled snow at a nearby ski resort. We didn't try skiing or snowboarding, but we did ride the inner tubes and threw snowballs and built a phenomenal snow man (thanks mostly to Effy, our exchange student). It was a picture-perfect day and the weather was far nicer than at home.
We gave Chloe these flowers for her 7th birthday
This past weekend, we managed to escape the fog and gloom again as we spent a warm and luxuriously sunny time in Los Angeles. Saturday was spent at Farmer's Market and the Grove, where Effy had a mandatory exchange student orientation meeting. She was in her meeting all day while we ventured into the shops and watched time slip away. Clearly the highlight for Chloe and Pearl was a trip to the American Girl Doll store. Chloe and Pearl are just now old enough for these dolls and they each received one for Christmas. The dolls were ordered to match the features of our girls, so Chloe's doll has dark brown hair, while Pearl's doll has black hair with bangs. Chloe's doll even has purple glasses to match her own. If only we had known about the store, the girls could have brought their dolls with them.
Once inside the American Girl Doll Store, you see little girls of all colors and sizes carrying their dolls around. Many of them are wearing matching outfits. On the ground level, there is a salon for dolls. You bring in your doll with the frayed and rumpled hair and it is returned to you with a beautiful coif or braid. After your doll is all "dolled up", you may sit for tea or lunch in the cafe, where they have special seating for your doll. It is quite the affair.
Upstairs are more dolls, clothing, books, movies and accessories. They NEVER have sales. I think this store is pretty much like Costco. Don't expect to get out the door for under $200. We purchased a matching outfit for Pearl and her doll and then we bought Chloe some pajamas that match her doll's pajamas. She also got a fancy dress for her doll. They even have a portrait studio where you can have your picture taken with your doll. I think I can handle that part on my own.
If that wasn't excitement enough, we met up with some friends the next day at Knott's Berry Farm. My friend's son Damian was celebrating his 8th birthday, so we were having a double birthday celebration for him and for Chloe. Our luck with crowds at amusement parks has been dismal this past year, so I was fantastically surprised to find that we had most of the park to ourselves. There were no lines for rides until later in the afternoon so we dashed from ride to ride all morning long. Chloe loved the roller coasters, but it was hard to find ones where she was tall enough to ride. However, there were a few and they were doozies. Pearl doesn't like the feeling of falling or moving fast, so her taste in rides was a bit different. Fortunately, this place has lots of activities and entertainment for kids of all sizes. By the time we left, there was still so much left unexplored. I have a feeling we might be coming back next January and if we are lucky, Chloe will be 2" taller. We created memories that will be fondly revisited for years to come.
The following weekend, I went to San Diego to attend a Blue Lily workshop. I learned more about photography and how to expand it beyond the hobby stage. I have a goal to learn as much as I can in the next few years and then sometime after that, go professional. I think this is something that I may even want to do as a second career after retirement.

The 2008 report issued today in Cape Town provides a significant assessment of the progress in maternal, newborn and child survival. I am pleased to see the report's particular focus on the pivotal role of immunisation in efforts to reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially MDG 4, which aims at reducing by two thirds the mortality rate among children under five. Significant increases in immunisation rates serve as among the most promising trends for reducing childhood mortality and achieving MDG 4.

I am very pleased to announce the publication of another paper in our Know Your Enemy white paper series: "KYE - Social Dynamics of Hacking" authored by Thomas J. Holt and Max Kilger from our Spartan Devils Honeynet Project Chapter. In this paper, Tom and Max go to the roots of the Know Your Enemy series and shine light on the social groups that are involved in hacking.
Though most information security research focuses on current threats, tools, and techniques to defeat attacks, it is vital to recognize and understand the humans behind attacks. Individual attackers have various skills, motives, and social relationships that shape their actions and the resources they target. In this paper we will explore the distribution of skill in the global hacker community, the influence of on and off-line social relationships, motivations across attackers, and the near-future of threats to improve our understanding of the hacker and attacker community.

Folks, I am very pleased to announce the publication of our Know Your Tools paper: Glastopf - A dynamic, low-interaction web application honeypot authored by Lukas Rist of the Chicago Honeynet Project Chaper and Sven Vetsch, Marcel Kossin, and Michael Mauer.
The paper is available from http://honeynet.org/papers/KYT_glastopf.
Paper abstract
Currently, attacks against web applications make up more than 60% of the total number of attempted attacks on the Internet. Organizations cannot afford to allow their websites be compromised, as this can result in serving malicious content to customers, or leaking customer's data. Whether the particular web application is part of a company's website, or a personal web page, there are certain characteristics common to all web applications. Most people trust in the reliability of web applications and they are often hosted on powerful servers with high bandwidth connections to the Internet. Considering the large number of attacks and knowing the potential consequences of successful break-ins, we decided to put a bit more effort into the development of honeypots to better understand these attacks.
In this paper, we introduce Glastopf, a low-interaction web application honeypot capable of emulating thousands of vulnerabilities to gather data from attacks that target web applications. The principle behind it is very simple: reply to the attack using the response the attacker is expecting from his attempt to exploit the web application. We provide an overview of the attacks on web applications, describe examples collected with Glastopf, and discuss possible usages of data collected.
Glastopf can be downloaded from http://glastopf.org/ and a mailing list for help/suggestions and advice is available at https://public.honeynet.org/mailman/listinfo/glastopf. Read more »
Christian Seifert (CPRO of The Honeynet Project) has just announced publication of our Know Your Tools series: Qebek - Conceal the Monitoring, authored by Chengyu Song and Jianwei Zhuge from the Chinese Chapter and Brian Hay from the Alaskan Chapter. The paper is based on Chengyu's hard work during the GSoC 2009, Brian Hay and me acted as his mentors for the Qebek GSoC Project. Congrats to Chengyu and Chinese Chapter.

I am very pleased to announce another publication of our Know Your Tools series: Qebek - Conceal the Monitoring authored by Chengyu Song and Jianwei Zhuge from the Chinese Chapter and Brian Hay from the Alaskan Chapter.
The paper is available from http://honeynet.org/papers/KYT_qebek.
Paper abstract
For the last few years, while low-interaction (LI) honeypot systems like Nepenthes and PHoneyC are getting more and more powerful, the progress of high-interaction (HI) honeypot technology has been somewhat slower. This is especially true for Sebek, the de-facto HI honeypot monitoring tool. In this KYT paper, we introduce Qebek, a QEMU based HI honeypot monitoring tool which aims at improving the invisibility of monitoring the attackers' activities in HI honeypots. Read more »
We are very excited to announce the publication of our first paper in the new Know Your Tools paper series: "KYT: use Picviz to find attacks" authored by Sebastien Tricaud from the French Chapter and Victor Amaducci from the University of Campinas.
The paper can be downloaded at Know Your Tools: use Picviz to find attacks.
Paper Abstract
Picviz is a parallel coordinates plotter which enables easy scripting from various input (tcpdump, syslog, iptables logs, apache logs, etc..) to visualize data and discover interesting aspects of that data quickly. Picviz uncovers previously hidden data that is difficult to identify with traditional analysis methods.
In the first paper of our new Know Your Tools series, Sebastien Tricaud from the French Honeynet Project Chapter and Victor Amaducci from the University of Campinas, focus on Picviz. After a brief overview on parallel coordinates, Picviz architecture, and installation procedure, three real-world examples are presented that illustrate how to identify attacks from large amounts of data: Picviz is used to analyze SSH logs, Apache access logs and network traffic. With these examples, it is demonstrated how Picviz can find attacks that previously have been hidden.
Recent additions to Picviz GUI have been made by Victor Amaducci under the mentorship of Sebastien Tricaud as part of the Google Summer of Code program 2009. The most recent version of Picviz is freely available for download from its project site at http://www.wallinfire.net/picviz and support can be sought from the Picviz mailing list at http://www.wallinfire.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/picviz..

With The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, players will not only be challenged to survive Butcher Bay, but will also engage in a new single-player experience and, for the first time in the Riddick universe, take action in intense multi-player combat. The game introduces the ominous Merc-ship Dark Athena, which sits silent like a marauding spider, awaiting helpless prey in the dark reaches of the galaxy. Players must face a large, bloodthirsty operation led by the dreaded Captain Revas and her slaves-turned-controllable combat drones, storm though death-defying events and fight fierce enemies in a battle of malice and gore.
In The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena the player takes the role of Riddick as he escapes Butcher Bay prison with the bounty hunter Johns. Their ship is captured by rogue mercenaries under the command of the nefarious Captain Revas. During his quest to escape the ship, Riddick learns terrible secrets about the Dark Athena. He is forced to face down the piratical mercs, and put an end to the vile plans of its evil captain.
Set before the events of both Universal Pictures' 2004 summer release, The Chronicles of Riddick, starring Vin Diesel, and the 2000 breakout hit Pitch Black, which first introduced Diesel as enigmatic anti-hero Riddick: the game tells the story of Riddick's dramatic escape from the previously inescapable triple max security slam Butcher Bay, home to the most violent prisoners in the universe. This classic title has been graphically re-mastered for next-gen systems and it's included free, along with the new "Assault on Dark Athena" campaign.

With public interest in free-to-play shooter Battlefield Heroes at critical levels following EA's controversial changes to the game's pay structure, the publisher is trying to light a fire under the game with a Battlefield Bad Company crossover.
Starting March 16, there'll be a month-long "tribute" event in the PC shooter, which will see new items, weapons and outfits based on Battlefield Bad Company 2 released for Battlefield Heroes.
Of course, none of this will be free, so to try and entice lapsed players back into the game (or somehow attract new ones), EA will be offering $5 worth of in-game currency to anyone who bought Bad Company 2 new on PS3, 360 or PC. That offer will be good from March 16 to March 19.
What a shame. It brings back memories hearing that catchy theme song, but there's no way I'm going back to this game with the current bias towards "subscribing" players.

I remember those days as a beginner.
Have a look at the Ocean Rodeo Session 2. It comes with detachable leg straps that are very adjustable and comfortable. You can adjust the lengths to wear the waist harness down low (almost like a seat harness) or up high as a waist harness.
Then as you get better kite skills you can take them off.

Here's the launch trailer for the Wii re-boot of the arcade and early console classic NBA Jam. All your favourites return, and by that I don't mean Raiden or Bill Clinton, but "Boom Shaka-Laka," "He's On Fire," and "Kaboom!"
Remember last week when I said, "If any sports game is capable of selling a console... ?" Yeah, MLB The Show might have some company, if EA Sports doesn't put this thing on Xbox Live Arcade or the PlayStation Network. Either way, this can't be anything but a moneymaker for them.

Appeal date set for SAS sniper
The SAS sniper jailed for illegally possessing a pistol will have his appeal against his conviction heard in March, his lawyer says.
Sergeant Danny Nightingale was handed an 18-month custodial sentence in November for illegally possessing a pistol and ammunition but was released three weeks later on appeal against his sentence, following widespread public outcry after a campaign by his wife Sally.
The 38-year-old, from Crewe, Cheshire, has vowed to clear his name and appeal against his conviction.
His appeal will be heard at the Royal Courts of Justice on March 13, his lawyer Simon McKay said.
Sgt Nightingale and wife Sally said they were looking forward to putting the case behind them. In a statement the couple, who have two daughters, said: "We are pleased the appeal has been listed and are looking forward to being able to put the case behind us and move on with our lives.
"The anxiety of a possible retrial if the convictions are quashed still exists but we hope the Service Prosecuting Authority will decide not to pursue this option."
Mr McKay added: "There is a good deal of confidence that the appeal will result in the convictions being quashed and we are looking forward to the hearing in March."
Sgt Nightingale was released from military detention on November 30 after his sentence was overturned.
His lawyers argued he pleaded guilty to possessing the Glock 9mm pistol - a gift after he served in Iraq - because he was led to believe he would get a lenient sentence.
Sgt Nightingale, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, said he did not remember having the pistol due to a brain injury that affected his memory.

The blog I posted earlier today (around 5 a.m. my time, I believe) talked about the new Avaya Flare interface as well as the Avaya tablet on which it runs.
I mentioned in the blog that an anonymous reader had e-mailed me some comments about the product and indicated that when you figure in $2,000 for tablet and $1,750 for the Flare application, the total solution cost $3,750. However, as I also noted, TMC's Rich Tehrani today reported the tablet's street price is $1,500 to $2,000.
This post you're reading is just to set the record straight, in case anybody is confused about the pricing. Deborah Kline, Avaya's senior manager of public relations, this afternoon confirmed to me that the street price will be around $2,000 for both the Avaya Flare Experience and Desktop Video Device.
"Until we make the software available as a standalone product, there is no individual, software vs hardware pricing," Kline e-mailed me. "So you are correct in citing what Rich said - $2000 street for both."
Get it? Got it? Good.

Snapshots from the Sweetlife Food and Music Festival
We had a blast over the weekend feeding muffulettas to a bunch of happy people at the Sweetlife Festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. We drove down to the event in the Salumeria Biellese truck with all of our muffuletta supplies: sopressata, capicola, mortadella, provolone, olive salad (eight gallons of it!) and 250 round loaves of bread from Parisi Bakery, fresh-baked just before our 4 a.m. departure from New York Saturday morning (that fresh). The other Serious Eats mobile drove down 300 chocolate bouchons from Bouchon Bakery and 300 cookies from Momofuku Milk Bar to sell at the Serious Sweets table in the festival's Food Forest.
There were two stages of music jamming all day; we were set up right next to one of them, the Treehouse Stage, which meant we could listen to the live shows and shake our hips throughout the muffuletta-making (which clearly made them taste even better). The muffulettas were a big hit—the line was flowing all day!
Many of our favorite food folks from both New York and D.C. were at the festival, too: Taim Mobile, Shake Shack, Luke's Lobster, Roberta's Pizza, Bouchon Bakery, Spindrift fizzy drinks, Smucker Farms, Jose Andres's Pepe Truck, Dolcezza, Cafe Integral, Baked and Wired, Trickling Springs Creamery, and others.
Thanks to everyone who came by and said hello! Here are some snapshots from the festival, including close-ups of the mighty muffuletta.

Prop. 30 is an important issue
Proposition 30 on the November ballot is a very important issue regarding school funding.
As your Inyo and Mono County Superintendents of Schools, we believe it is our obligation to inform the electorate of matters that directly affect our local schools.
Furthermore, we know that you are looking for factual, nonbiased data to make an informed decision at the ballot box.
The Governor and Legislature have placed Proposition 30 on the ballot as a means of balancing the state budget. Proposition 30 imposes a higher tax rate for high income earners (single filers over $250,000, married over $500,000 in annual income) along with increasing the sales tax rate by a quarter of a cent for four years.
If Proposition 30 passes, schools will continue to receive the same amount we are currently receiving. It should be noted that the amount we currently receive is 20 percent less than what we received four years ago.
If Proposition 30 fails, the state will immediately reduce education funding by nearly $2.5 million dollars to our local school districts for this school year and subsequent years in the amounts of:
- Big Pine Unified: $112,650
- Bishop Unified: $941,734
- Death Valley Unified: $67,303
- Eastern Sierra Unified: $204,085
- Inyo County Superintendent of Schools: $174,474
- Lone Pine Unified: $205,029
- Mammoth Unified: $494,911
- Mono County Office of Education: $154,763
- Owens Valley Unified: $37,447
- Round Valley School District: $49,363
- Total: $2,441,759
We hope this information about funding your local school in the Eastern Sierra assists in your voting decisions.
Dr. Stacey Adler, Mono County Superintendent of Schools
Dr. Terence K McAteer, Inyo County Superintendent of Schools

Many Washington Countians got an early Christmas present Monday morning, but they might not have realized it at the time.
That was when a letter from the Washington County Fire Department was delivered to The Springfield Sun announcing that fire protection service will continue for at least 90 more days without interruption.
A semi-truck driver involved in a July 16, 2010, automobile accident on US 150 in Washington County has been indicted for murder.
Stephen W. Sizemore, 55, of East Bernstadt, Ky., has been indicted by a Washington County Grand Jury. He was charged with capital murder after the 1999 Peterbilt semi he was driving sideswiped a 2011 Toyota Camry, then hit a 2000 Nissan and finally struck a 2001 Honda head on, killing the driver, 45-year-old Victor Walters of Elizabethtown.
A telephone scam recently found a victim in a local woman as a company charged her hundres of dollars for magazine subscriptions.
Many Washington Countians woke up this morning to find everything in sight covered by ice, and we at The Springfield Sun were no different. While the ice and winter weather are no fun, we decided to see if our readers could have some fun looking at a few local scenes, covered in ice. The first photo is a close-up and not-so-obvious view, while the next is a clear look at the subject. Click on the photos and see if you can guess the subject of each photo before looking at the next!
Due to inclement weather, Washington County Schools will be closed Tuesday, Dec. 14.
For updates on further closings, look to www.readthesun.com.
This Christmas the Washington County Historical Society is giving a gift that history buffs and Christmas lovers alike will appreciate.
Christmas is a magical time in the lives of most children, but some face the holidays without the basic things they need in life. That's where the Washington County Holiday Assistance Program comes into play.
Formerly known as the Angel Tree Program, the WCHAP's mission is to provide toys, as well as essential items for life to the less fortunate children of the community. At last count, the program planned to serve 86 families with a total of 238 children this year.
Traffic has been delayed on a Springfield road that is yet to open. The new Springfield Northwest Bypass, which was scheduled to open later this month, will now have to wait until spring.

I think the schedule reads: Christmas - January White Sale - Valentine's Day - Easter, unless they've come up with Ground Hog Day products I haven't heard about.
Is St. Patrick's Day before or after Easter? It's a good day for wearing orange.
I just discovered this great song that will have to be a staple on my playlist from now on.
The Christians and the Pagans
Oh sure I enjoy the holiday (dare I say Christmas) season. I like the decorations, the music, the crowds, shopping and all the secular aspects. I even enjoy the "Christmas story" and think wouldn't it be wonderful if it were true. Unfortunately reality and reason return and it is just a myth.
I do look forward to the slow return of the sun from the south. It takes about two weeks after the solstice to actually begin detecting that slow march.
As the great Frank Castanza said
"Festivus for the rest of us"
My metal pole is up!!!
Nothing wrong with that. Many Atheists still go through the motions even as far as to attend religious gatherings in solidarity with the "tribe". I pick the religious bits out like raisins in a muffin and just enjoy a bit of tradition. My wife and I are staunch Atheists but behind me is a huge decorated tree and Christmas lunch will take place as before. I will not however be attending Sunday mass. Christmas has never been about religion for me. I loved it as a child because it was the only day my entire family assembled for anything other than funerals, everyone was happy and although I don't like the word, magical is how I would describe my childhood memories over the festive season.
This sums up how I feel about christmas pretty well. This will be the first christmas that I spend with my family while out to them as an atheist, so it might be interesting
I don't celebrate it and my family knows I'm an atheist although they don't believe it. As for the commercial part of it, I prefer to stay out of it. I consider the giving of Christmas gifts as tacit approval of a holiday that is based on pure bullshit and perpetuates ignorance. It's only one day out of the year. If people choose to judge me as a Scrooge or evil then fuck 'em.
fuq christmas
I live in rural Georgia. I drive 50 miles every once in a while for an atheist meet up group that is held at a restaurant. At one of these meet ups a very bubbly blond headed 20 year old server asked one of the members what kind of group we were, he told her that we were atheists. Her response was and I quote "But what about Christmas and birthdays" Silence fell across the group....then one of the rather goofy members said and I quote "I do not celebrate christmas because I do not believe Jesus is god, I do not believe in any god...however, I do believe I am real as evident by a birth certificate, photographs and my tax returns so based on that evidence I do celebrate my date of birth" an epic funny atheist moment.....

Seems like there are a number of low power ARM SoC boards hitting the market recently. If the BeagleBone, Raspberry Pi, and Via APC piqued your interest, you might want to also take a look at the recently announced Gooseberry. It's an Allwinner A10 ARM SoC with 512MB RAM, 4GB onboard flash (up to 16GB with MicroSD), b/g/n Wifi, and goes for £40 (about $63USD).
Details on availability are forthcoming, but they're soliciting feedback to gauge interest. Supposedly the whole thing came about because of the current availability of some existing boards. Lacking a reference design, the project lead noticed that the SoC was being used in a production tablet, so instead of stuffing them into an off brand device, they're being made available as a bare board.

Seth MacFarlane appears to have brought the youngsters back to the Academy Awards: Preliminary Nielsen data shows Sunday's Oscarcast surged 20 percent among adult viewers under 35 compared to last year's show and delivered the best performance in that demo group since 2007 (when Ellen DeGeneres hosted). The Oscars also did better in the closely watched demo of adults under 50, gaining 11 percent year-to-year. Overall, the audience gains were a bit less impressive: ABC's broadcast attracted 40.3 million viewers, up just 3 percent from 2012's tally of 39.3 million viewers. Still, only one Oscars since 2005 — the 2010 show — has pulled in a bigger crowd. And in the age of DVRs, that 20 percent increase in younger viewers is no small achievement. ABC won't release more detailed ratings, including how audience levels increased or decreased throughout the broadcast, until Tuesday.

22 By Sagarika Jaisinghani and Tej Sapru
(Reuters) - Car rental company Avis Budget Group Inc will buy Zipcar Inc for about $500 million, surpassing larger rivals Hertz Global Holdings Inc and Enterprise Holdings Inc to become the No.1 player in the fast-growing U.S. car-sharing market.
The offer of $12.25 per share in cash represents a premium of 49 percent to Zipcar's Monday close. Zipcar's shares were up 48.8 percent at $12.26 on the Nasdaq on Wednesday morning.
"We see car sharing as highly complementary to traditional car rental, with rapid growth potential and representing a scalable opportunity for us as a combined company," Avis Chief Executive Ronald Nelson said.
Zipcar controls about 75 percent of the $400 million car-sharing industry in the United States. The total market is projected to reach $10 billion over the next several years, Nelson said on a conference call with analysts.
Higher demand for car sharing in the face of rising gasoline prices has also attracted traditional car rental companies such as Hertz and Enterprise.
Zipcar's business is at least five times larger than Hertz's and Enterprise's car-sharing businesses, Needham & Co analyst Kerry Rice said.
The deal will position Avis as the market leader in car-sharing services in the United States, he added.
Avis has been relegated to No.3 in the $22 billion U.S. car rental industry, after Hertz secured the No.2 spot with its acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group in August.
Avis also bid for Dollar Thrifty in 2010, but later dropped out of the race.
Zipcar, founded more than 10 years ago, pioneered car-sharing services in the United States. Car sharing allows customers to rent cars at an hourly or daily rate and park in convenient reserved spots. Zipcar went public in April 2011 and raised about $174 million.
The deal, expected to close in the spring of 2013, will add to Avis's earnings, excluding items, from the second year and is expected to generate between $50 million and $70 million in annual synergies.
Zipcar will operate as a unit of Avis and Scott Griffith will remain the unit's chief.
The company said it expects to fund the transaction primarily with available cash and additional debt. The company had cash and marketable securities of about $554 million as of September 30.
Zipcar has more than 760,000 members, or Zipsters, with a presence in 20 cities in the United States, Canada and Europe.
Citigroup is advising Avis while Morgan Stanley is advising Zipcar on the transaction.
Avis's shares were up 6 percent at $20.91 on the Nasdaq on Wednesday. Hertz shares were up 3 percent on the New York Stock Exchange. (Reporting by Sagarika Jaisinghani and Tej Sapru in Bangalore; Editing by Supriya Kurane)

When a pro teaches long enough, it's bound to happen. In a private discussion (parents only), they must trust the coach and allow a separate relationship between the coach and player to develop; otherwise, it won't work. I always let the parents know that they will be kept up with what's happening and the direction where we're going.
High school coach here: This is probably the most-commented upon subject among my fellow coaches. I don't know if it's because of what I do as a preventative, but....
At the beginning of each season I hold a Parents & Players meeting. One point we cover is ... this team is a benevolent (hopefully) dictatorship. I do not allow parents to coach ... to help .. to do anything more than cheer and encourage commensurate with The Code. My parents have not (yet) attempted to influence me to accept their view of what the lineup should be. If/when that happens, I may have more to add.....
(Coaching tennis is easier than (say) baseball or basketball. Those coaches are making more subjective decisions about "who plays" than I do.)

Momahedger on Family Tree Circles
view: full | list
Journals and Posts
Family of Richard Morris, son of Sylva or Sylvia Morris who lived in North Carolina, Husband of LULA. CAMP CREEK NORTH CAROLINA
This would be the other part of my family thru gr grandpa Rufus. The side that I was not told about but want to know.
Richard was one of a twin, which I was always told that my dads grandfather had twin brothers. Rufus was brought to live with his father in 1880 but the twins were left with their mom. I have a feeling I know why but it really does not matter. they were his kin and are mine.
Richard had 5 children with Lula. so I am hoping some of them had children who had children.
PLEASE if anyone has any information, please contact me.
family is family.
Family or Relatives of Rufus Morris or Victoria O hannin
They are my great grandparents and I know nothing about them.
my grandmother was Naoma MOrris
she had a brother named Horatio and I believe at least one sister named Leona.
would love to meet other relatives
family line of DYERS linking to Edward Dyer born in OHIO in 1810 had sons Lee and Amos
Amos was my grandfather thru my dads side. He married my grandma Naoma and had three children
John Edward
my dad was John Edward. I would love to know more about this line. I knew my uncle alvin and I think I met my aunt leona once or twice but the rest of the family I never knew.
I can follow back to Thomas Dyer who was born in 1612 and came over and lived in Weymouth MA but would love to find out more.
I also found that thru cousins, the William Dyer that married Mary Dyer who was hung for being a Quaker in Boston MA is a distant cousin. kinda scary. she has my name.
Looking for Morris bloodline that links back to Anthony Morris born in 1530 wales and beyond
I have not been researching this long, but since 2007.
have found links to the morris line back to Anthony born in wales in 1530 and then back farther to Capt Thomas Edward Morris born 1455 and from there back to anthony morris born in 1435.
Now that is where I had to go by gut feeling, intuition and research and logic. then linked to John Morris born in 1415 married to Lucy Arundel.
time line matches up, places matches up but no real proof. From there the links go back to King Alfred the Great which means that the MOrris's are actually SAXON?
so I just would love to find others who are doing this same research. there are so many explanations for the name of Morris.
1. welsh meaning war and blood or bloody warriors
2. norman root
3. from the moors.
now with the link to the saxons the bloody warriors one makes sense. since last names were not something that existed before the doomdays book and would have started out as nicknames or the son or dau of type thing or occupations.
But am I saxon? am i welsh because that is where the Morris settled for the most part around Herefordshire?
Am I Celtic (which is a language group not really a nationality)?
None of it really matters in the scheme of today. all royalty etc etc is too far removed and is laughable but to know what I am.
my african roots can never be found except thru spirit work. and that cannot be proven. so that is why the other branch is calling to me. who am I? what am I?
American, yes. but made up of what?
Morris Family line linking back to Solomon Morris, son of Arron Morris, north carolina
this line is of my father mother Naomi Morris. I would love to find some relatives to talk to. My grandmothers father was Rufus Morris married to Victoria, and his father was Solomon MOrris but his mom was Sylva, a freed slave.
He had twin brother richard and vance born before the civil war. He was born after.
we were always told that we were part cherokee but we are not. we are part african. You would never know it. but it is not a problem with me.
I have a lot of questions. have followed the lines back to across the ocean and that brought even more.
back to Anthony Morris born in 1530 in wales. His son Charles Morris born in 1558 is the link down thru Edward Morris.

The 2016 Carrollton Child Abuse Awareness event held on April 28 from 4-6 p.m. went great. Champions for a Drug Free Carroll County was able to sponsor the event successfully thanks to a number of
community organizations and individuals.
In 1999, Congress designated the month of May as "National Military Appreciation Month" to ensure that our Nation is given the opportunity every year to publicly demonstrate their appreciation for the sacrifices and successes made by our servicemen and women. During the month of May we should all make a sincere effort to honor the current and former members of the armed services especially those who have died in the pursuit of our freedom and safety.
I read in The Courier Journal where the La Grange Police Department has created an internet purchase exchange location to ensure safety of residents hoping to buy or sell items through arrangements made on line (internet e.g. Craigs List, E-Bay, Amazon).
On behalf of Carrollton/Carroll Co Tourism, I would like to thank the following for their help in making our "Civil War Living History" a success this year!
On Saturday, April 16, the Carrollton Fire Department hosted the White Castle Crave Mobile and collected donations for Crusade For Children. Inside the fire boot used to collect donations, a wedding band was found. If you believe it is yours, contact me, Chief Mike Terrell, at (502) 732-7041.

The Food Pantry of Carroll County, Inc., sends its gratitude to the community for the continued support of our work.
As most have observed, we left our long-time home at St. John's Catholic Church to reside at 517 Seventh St. More than a change in space, we also secured 501c3 status to broaden our reach in fundraising.
The Carrollton Main Street Program would like to express its sincere thanks to the following for their help in making our recent Easter on the Square event a huge success: Carrollton Wal-Mart, Ron Knight and the City of Carrollton Public Works Department, Carrollton Police Department, Carrollton Fire Department, Kentucky Kruizers and Dave Weed, our volunteers from Family Worship Center, and the other volunteers who helped with the event. Without these people, the event would not have been possible.
On March 12, Three Rivers Friends of NRA held its annual banquet at the National Guard Armory in Carrollton, and it was a huge success. This year we had 226 people participate in our raffles, games and live auction. Congratulations to all the winners.
We know there is a need to change the direction of substance abuse and drug addiction in our community. What can Life In Carrollton do to change our community? Why should you support Life In Carrollton?
I was an addict for eight years and an alcoholic for 17 years. I have certainly lived the lifestyle of the addict.
