You've dreamed about it for years, worked hard, put money aside, maybe raised a family. As you plan how to spend this new freedom, can you include some time each year to share from your lifetime of experience and bring encouragement to young Christian leaders in developing countries?
All around the world, there is a generation arising who is sold out to Jesus. A generation who will change the world for the kingdom of God! And Senior Servants can help them reach their full potential as they ride the next wave of mission.
Senior Servants are people who will spend a short term, living as authentic followers of Jesus serving alongside these young leaders. They will be praying with and for them, mentoring and encouraging them, equipping, resourcing, affirming and protecting them and allowing them to lead.
Youth for Christ is looking for couples interested in investing some of their retirement in travelling to developing countries. There they can spend between two and three months, living and working alongside the national staff of YFC, and enabling them to be far more effective and focussed in their ministry.
Senior Servants will need to be mature Christians, independent, adaptable, a team couple, communicators, servant-hearted, no agenda of their own, dependable and clear-thinking.
Additional skills will be varied and valued, but THE MOST important things you will be giving will be yourselves and your ability to live and walk through life with the YFC staff, listening to their stories, praying with and for them and building them up to serve Jesus Christ.
Malcolm and Jane Knowles spent three months in Rwanda with the YFC team there. This is what they had to say ...
We were stretched, grown and blessed way beyond our expectations. The YFC staff was overwhelmed to know that we had left our home and family and travelled such a long distance 'at our age' to serve them.
The people live very simply, but their material poverty is starkly contrasted with their spiritual richness. The warmth of their welcome and the love of these people melted our hearts. Hearing the music of a favourite old hymn wafting across the valley on Sunday morning before church, and then arriving to hear it sung in the local language was very moving.
After Jane's attempts at teaching English, three staff members have now begun formal classes. They learned from our teamwork as a couple and began to do things together – it's something that doesn't really happen in Rwanda. They trusted us with their hearts and we have brought many secrets home.
When we arrived back in Australia we received this email: "You cannot imagine how everybody stayed with sadness at the airport when you left us." We knew our time there had been a blessing to them as well as to us.
Malcolm and Jane Knowles share how they became involved in Senior Servants. Hear how their thoughts on retirement changed radically into something purposeful.

No evidence of inflation in the American economy, unless you look at the cost of the commodities which people must actually buy. Or the continuing decline of the dollar against world currencies. Or the predictable spike in the (dollar-denominated) price of gold. Or the record-high (dollar-denominated) prices for wheat and oil and lead. TBP quotes from Newsweek:
Catch that bit about "core inflation"? That's Fedspeak for: inflation is under control, unless you look at the costs of things that are going up. The core rate excludes the prices of food and energy, which can be volatile from month to month.
This is one of my longstanding beefs with economics as it impacts the news and the lives of ordinary people (see also national unemployment figures and "cost of living" calculations for geographic area X). It doesn't matter what the excuse is for excluding food and energy from the calculations for the core inflation rate. These costs are two huge components of most people's everyday expenses, and the fact that our leading economists choose to simply ignore that because it makes the curve a little smoother is completely baffling.

Almost five years ago, Hurricane Katrina left New Orleans levees broken and an entire city in need of rescue.
Michael "Brownie" Brown, the former Federal Emergency Management Administration chief whose name is practically synonymous with the government's bungled rescue response, now says he wants to clear his name for the history books.
"I remember telling the White House, 'I don't think you guys get it,'" he tells ABC News, in a rare interview. "'This is going to be the big one that I've been fighting to get money for, that we've all been worried about.'"
Brown also has plans to take his Denver-based KOA-AM political talk radio show to New Orleans for live broadcasts in advance of the fifth anniversary of the hurricane on Sunday, reports The Associated Press.
In a second HBO documentary on Katrina by Spike Lee, Brown says he winced when President George W. Bush praised him in front of news reporters, saying, "Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job." Brown thinks the praise was off target because he had just finished telling the president why the rescue wasn't working.
Even Lee sees Brown as a "scapegoat," according to a Wall Street Journal interview.
"Still, to this day," Lee says, "no one has ever explained why it took five days for the United States government to show up and come to the aid of his own citizens."
And in a new investigation, ProPublica has learned that an order circulated among New Orleans police led some officers to believe they could shoot looters.

Beat writers were a small group of close friends first, and a movement later.
The Beat Generation in literature comprised a relatively small number of writers, of which Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William S Burroughs are the best known today. All three met in the environs of Columbia University in New York City in the mid-1940's, and they remained close friends.
Although the group began in New York, it wasn't long before they began spreading out across the country.
People who were associated with the Beat Generation at one point or another include:
The Beats borrowed a lot of their revolutionary spirit from the exploding Jazz scene at the same time. They frequented the Jazz clubs in Greenwich Village where they saw Lester Young and Charlie Parker. Among the clubs they went to was Birdland where they once met Artie Shaw. They set a lot of the groundwork for the musical and cultural revolution of the 1960's that was to follow.

--Jack Kerouac
The Beat Generation had a strong kinship with jazz music, poetry, drugs, bohemia, mysticism, sex, and virtually anything which rebelled against "normal" 1950's society. Literary works relied heavily upon improvisation and inspiration. If you read Beat poetry or prose, you'll recognize the lack of traditional metering replaced by a subconscious rhythmic stream. In addition, art was showcased without revision.
The Beat movement centered around poetry readings, jazz performances, and coffee shops located in San Francisco and Greenwich Village.
The phrase "Beat Generation" was coined by Jack Kerouac around 1952 in a double entendre to convey both depression and beatificion.
The term "Beat Generation" was coined by John Clellon Holmes in his November 16, 1952, article This Is The Beat Generation, for the New York Times Magazine.
Several months ago, a national magazine ran a story under the heading 'Youth' and the subhead 'Mother Is Bugged At Me.' It concerned an eighteen-year-old California girl who had been picked up for smoking marijuana and wanted to talk about it. While a reporter took down her ideas in the uptempo language of 'tea,' someone snapped a picture. In view of her contention that she was part of a whole new culture where one out of every five people you meet is a user, it was an arresting photograph. In the pale, attentive face, with its soft eyes and intelligent mouth, there was no hint of corruption. It was a face which could only be deemed criminal through an enormous effort of righteousness. Its only complaint seemed to be: 'Why don't people leave us alone?' It was the face of a beat generation.
Its members have an instinctive individuality, needing no bohemianism or imposed eccentricity to express it. Brought up during the collective bad circumstances of a dreary depression, weaned during the collective uprooting of a global war, they distrust collectivity. But they have never been able to keep the world out of their dreams. The fancies of their childhood inhabited the half-light of Munich, the Nazi-Soviet pact, and the eventual blackout. Their adolescence was spent in a topsy-turvy world of war bonds, swing shifts, and troop movements. They grew to independent mind on beachheads, in gin mills and USO's, in past-midnight arrivals and pre-dawn departures. Their brothers, husbands, fathers or boy friends turned up dead one day at the other end of a telegram. At the four trembling corners of the world, or in the home town invaded by factories or lonely servicemen, they had intimate experience with the nadir and the zenith of human conduct, and little time for much that came between. The peace they inherited was only as secure as the next headline. It was a cold peace. Their own lust for freedon, and the ability to live at a pace that kills (to which the war had adjusted them), led to black markets, bebop, narcotics, sexual promiscuity, hucksterism, and Jean-Paul Sartre. The beatness set in later.
Important writers of the Beat movement where William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, and Allen Ginsberg; they shared a passion for experimentation with drugs, sexuality, and Neal Cassady.
Some novels of The Beat Generation were "On the Road", "Howl," and "Naked Lunch".
Some notable women of the beats were, Carolyn Cassady who wrote a memoir about her time with Cassady, Kerouac, and Ginsberg called Off the Road. Edie Parker Kerouac who has described her times with Jack Kerouac in her yet unpublished memoirs.
The drugs of choice for The Beat Generation were alcohol, marijuana and heroin, the psychedelic drugs were not available until the end of the 1950's. The music of The Beat Generation was Jazz.
The Beat culture had it's own language. In the pre Hippie hip of the beats, "getting straight" meant getting stoned on heroin, post Hippie; straight means not using drugs or not being gay.

The Beat Generation: Fact or Myth?
In the fifties, a cultural phenomenon swept the nation. Millions of youths began to call themselves "Beats," write poetry, and use drugs. They complained about conservative America and the dangers of conformity, and media regarded them as lazy drug addicts. Years later, when Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg published their works, critics and the media treated them as spawns of this counterculture. Critics and the nation looked down upon the Beat writers for their extravagant lifestyles, but few in their time recognized the great literature they were making and the impact they would have on American literature.
Years before the publication of Jack Kerouac's On the Road, the media was showering the nation with stories of the Beat Generation. When Kerouac emerged, he became the quintessential "beatnik," a word created by journalist Herb Caen as a play on the satellite Sputnik; Caen and others insisted that the Beat types were "equally far out" (qtd. in Watson 4). The media found their spokesperson and whipping boy in Kerouac and friends. Portrayed as mythic figures, Kerouac and other beats became the focus of newspapers and film. They pinned these writers with the beatnik archetype of goateed, bereted, bongo playing, marijuana smoking poets. Any females associated with Kerouac were portrayed as pale, leotard sporting whores (Watson 259).
Kerouac found the fame stifling, as he struggled to avoid the throngs of women who wanted him and the scores of men who despised him (Watson 254). According to Beat historian Steven Watson, Kerouac "dreamed of police chasing him through Lowell and endless ranks of children chanting his name" (254). He began drinking, partying, and womanizing more than ever to avoid the media (Watson 255). To journalists, Kerouac embodied the Beats, and they were hungry for his answers. Newspapers ran ads offering beatniks for rent, Mad magazine satirized them, critics bashed their writings, and thousands more jumped on the Beat bandwagon (Watson 258). Mistaking them for stereotypical beatniks, few knew the origins and motives of these writers.
The original Beat Generation consisted only of Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg. The three tirelessly devoted months on end to developing a truly original voice. They lived voluptuous lifestyles as well, drinking and womanizing. Each of the three felt horribly alienated from society and attempted to relieve this feeling through drugs. Kerouac was haunted by his brother's death at age seven (George-Warren 110) and guilt-ridden due to his mother's saying, "You should have died, not Gerard" (qtd. in Watson 21). Allen Ginsberg repressed feelings of homosexuality and fought schizophrenia throughout his life (Watson 26). Burroughs was teased for his homosexuality as a child and battled heroin addiction until his death (Naked Lunch xxxv). The three semi-neurotics were only concerned with putting thoughts on paper and controlling their negative feelings. Many critics focused on the extreme lifestyles they lived and never knew that they were troubled men. The Beats attempted to assuage their negative feelings through writing, and they simultaneously created great works of literature. However, their lives overshadowed their novels and poems.
Kerouac and Burroughs were equally prolific, and they used similar techniques, usually referred to as "spontaneous prose." Most critics paid little attention to the literary endeavors of the two, exchanging these for their sensational lifestyles. When critics did review their works, they saw them as superficial, rambling "guides for the superficially alienated" (qtd. in Foster xi). Once again, critics saw them as clones of the beatniks. Highbrow journals such as The Nation became forums for anti-beat critics (Watson 259). One critic, Norman Podhoretz, wrote, "Kerouac's motto is kill the intellectuals who can talk coherently, kill the people who can't sit still, kill those…who are capable of getting seriously involved with a woman, a job, a cause" (qtd. in Watson 259). The critics didn't realize that most of Kerouac's writing was fictional, and they mistook him for his characters, which were based on exaggerations of Kerouac's companions. Kerouac, Burroughs, and Ginsberg simply attempted to record their thoughts as they occured, and their characters mimic this in their fast, raw actions. Some lesser-known critics of the time valued spontaneous prose. As critic James T. Jones asserts, Kerouac's rapidity "parodied the consumer-goods overproduction of the '50's" (qtd. in Sterritt 195). Thus he may be seen as a socially motivated writer rather than a selfish drug addict.
Aside from the speed characteristic of Beat writings, Burroughs was very different from Kerouac and Ginsberg. The beatnik stereotype didn't fit Burroughs, for, despite his pernicious habits, he was a socially conscious, incredibly intelligent individual. Burroughs didn't receive the publicity that Kerouac did, for he was in Tangiers writing Naked Lunch (Watson 255). While Kerouac merely hinted at the state of society in the fifties, Burroughs blatantly attacked all that he saw as false. He criticized the selfishness of political leaders and prophesized the grim future resulting from industry. Burroughs saw a world void of individuality, a world where people cloned themselves and cannibalized and raped one another (Naked Lunch). After the novel's publication, it was banned in America due to its heavily sexual content. While only a few critics immediately recognized Kerouac's genius, many writers and critics defended the literary merit of Naked Lunch (Watson 281). However, while some critics recognized the unprecedented form of Burroughs' writing, most regarded it as "the foulest collection of printed filth" (qtd. in Watson 281). Due to this, every mainstream newspaper in America denounced the novel, and the Beats once again failed to receive the praise they deserved. When Burroughs accidentally shot and killed wife Joan Vollmer, critics and media were quick to regard him as a psychopath (Watson 153). Burroughs was guilt-ridden his entire life, and he found solace in drugs and writing. The media saw Vollmer's death as another reason to disregard the literary endeavors of the Beats. Despite the dozens of novels Burroughs wrote after Vollmer's death, few critics in his time would ever again praise him for his writing style.
While Kerouac and Burroughs preferred prose, Ginsberg wrote poetry. He read his epic Howl in a San Francisco bar, and the legions of Beat followers soon followed suit. Critics soon became unable to identify Ginsberg's unprecedented style amidst the many imposters. They concluded that the Beats were a part of the San Francisco Renaissance, further obscuring the truth about the Beats (Foster 2). Beat-bashing critics used this as another reason for insulting the Beats, insisting that they weren't "a true alternative to the status quo…but another cleverly disguised reflection of it" (Sterritt 103). However, poet William Carlos Williams realized that Howl was unique in its style and simplicity. Attracted to the sympathy expressed in Ginsberg's writing, Williams became a mentor for the Beats, encouraging them to continue their zestful writing (Watson 127).
The Beat writers were not, of course, akin to the beatnik models associated with them. Neither of the three wore berets or goatees. They were artists, not superficial poseurs like the media believed. The media misconceived who the real Beats were, because, at the time of the publication of the principal Beat works, the Beat phenomena had already exploded on America. Before Kerouac or Burroughs published their novels, their lifestyle was already popularized by journals such as Jay Landesman's Neurotica (Foster 12). Friends of Kerouac, Burroughs, and Ginsberg, such as John Clellon Holmes, wrote numerous articles on Beat life. Thousands of disillusioned individuals formed a Beat Generation dissimilar to the one started by the founders. These second-generation Beats did often fit the stereotype and often lived shallow, commercial lives. These pseudo-Beats seemed to condemn society for no apparent reason other than to be "hip," and critics assumed that Kerouac and Burroughs were mere spawns of these coffeehouse denizens. According to publisher Edward Foster, the Beat writers were individuals, and the rest of the Beat phenomena was "nothing but a journalist's or critic's fantasy" (4).
The Beat writers were the avant-garde creators of the ideals that became severely muddled by their generation. The three talked of a "New Vision," an overhaul of modern ideals (Foster 5). Rather than live comforting lives and conforming to society's norms, the Beats sought to capture the spirit of America by living with junkies, thieves, and outcasts (Foster 5). These people lived insecure, fast lives, and Kerouac and Burroughs modeled not only their characters, but also their form after them. They felt that the individual had no place in America in the fifties, and their sympathy for humanity is reflected in their works. The beats, especially Kerouac, felt that America no longer valued "wild self-believing individuality" (Foster 7). According to Foster, they longed for "frontier America," where the working-class man wasn't "impersonal and unemotional" (8). They wanted America to share their longing for the heroism of which America was bankrupt.
The Beats wanted to express themselves in a constructive manner. All three felt stifled by intellectualism. According to Holmes, society eagerly blamed their problems on childhood or society, with Freud's and Marx's theories, respectively (Foster 18). The Beats felt that these were no longer acceptable ways of confronting society's problems. They were optimistic and attempted to breathe life into an America they perceived as crumbling. Critics, however, weren't ready for this optimism. Most preferred "objective," rather than "expressive" prose, and conservative critics shunned the underground portrayed by the Beats (Foster 18).
With the help of many writers who supported the Beats, they overcame criticism and became part of the canon of American literature. Despite the resistance from authority figures, the ban on Naked Lunch was repealed in 1966 (Naked Lunch ix). Norman Mailer and Henry Miller insisted that Burroughs was one of their biggest influences (Watson 283). Kerouac's On the Road became a cult classic, and universities began to teach courses in Beat literature. The response to such courses, according to Beat literature professor John Tytell, has been outstanding, as students quickly enroll (Lawlor 2).
Even in the time of the Beats' lives, some liberal professors taught Beat literature. These men saw the merit of their writings, and soon the literary establishment couldn't afford to ignore the Beats due to the professors and writers in favor of them. Burroughs and Ginsberg became members of the American Academy of Arts and Letters (Lawlor 2). The three Beat writers achieved several prestigious awards, including the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award (Lawlor 2). Thus the Beats can be credited with shifting American prose from "objective" to "subjective."
Beat writings have survived obstacles created by critics and have gained worldwide popularity. Although critics sought to smother Beat writings with scandalous stories of excessive behavior, the three Beat writers are enjoyed today all over the world. The fact that Kerouac, Burroughs, and Ginsberg are still being read in Japan and Europe testifies to the profound impact they have had on countless individuals (Lawlor 2). In addition to this personal significance, Beat works have impacted American society. The Naked Lunch and Howl trials have helped fight censorship and have helped create current standards for publication (Lawlor 3). One cannot deny the similarities between the Beats and counterculture phenomena of the sixties and seventies. The ideals of the "hippies" stem mainly from the Beats. The social transformations these groups caused, including denouncing racism and promoting human rights, are often considered Beat in origin (Lawlor 3).
Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg are now considered some of the best writers of the twentieth century. Now that Beat works are read before stories of the authors' lives, readers and critics can form an unbiased opinion of their quality. Readers who refuse to allow the writers' vices to impact personal opinion will testify that the hopeful, joyous messages conveyed in the writings are timeless. It is this timelessness that ensures the Beats will touch each generation and inspire people to enjoy life, have fun, and transcend the "beatness" of day-to-day life.

Ticket update, Monday, 4:25 p.m.: All tickets for President Barack Obama's policy speech were distributed as of 3:40 p.m. on Monday, according to the University website. All tickets for the Jimmy Fallon event have been awarded to and distributed to seniors. Standby tickets were given out Monday within 30 minutes.Â
President Barack Obama will visit UNC's campus Tuesday, giving a policy speech on student loans and taping an episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
Information on Obama's policy speech
Information on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon
UNC has said that the University won't foot the bill for either event — the speech is an official White House event, and the Fallon show will fund the taping of their program.
The policy speech
Time and location: 1 p.m., Carmichael Arena
Ticket info: The event is free and open to the public. Tickets for the event have already been distributed.Â
All tickets for Obama's policy speech were distributed on Monday, and are no longer available.
Those with tickets cannot put up tents or camp overnight around Carmichael Arena.
Ticket-holders can arrive at Hooker Fields next to Carmichael Arena starting at 5 a.m., and doors will open at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, according to the UNC site.
Sunday's ticket-seekers' scrum
The line to receive a ticket to the speech began long before Sunday's 1 p.m. distribution time, according to the Daily Tar Heel. The group of students waiting for tickets originally reached as far as Stadium Drive before being relocated to wrap around part of the Michael Hooker intramural fields and overflow down the stands and around the track of Fetzer Field.
Despite a cold and rainy day, by 2 p.m. Sunday a DPS officer estimated there were still about 1,000-1,5000 people waiting in line.
Obama will speak to students about calling Congress to prevent student interest rates from increasing at UNC on Tuesday in the Carmichael Arena, the White House stated in a press release.
On Tuesday the doors to Carmichael will open at 10 a.m. and only those with tickets will be admitted. Attendees should expect to spend several hours waiting in line for security and should not bring bags. Signs and banners will also not be permitted.
The speech is expected to start around 1 p.m.
Classes won't be canceled, though faculty members may chose to allow excused absences for students who seek permission to attend the event.
Jimmy Fallon taping
Time and location: Unknown time, Memorial Hall
Ticket info: All tickets have been distributed for the event, primarily to UNC seniors. They were notified whether they were selected for tickets by April 22, according to the Fallon show's website.
Standby tickets were rewarded to present students at 1 p.m. Monday and ran out in about half-an-hour. Recipients of standby tickets were given numbered tickets and wristbands. Standby ticket holders were asked to return at 1 p.m. Tuesday at Memorial Hall and will be given entry depending on the number of regular ticket holders do not arrive in time for the show. Standby entry will be given in order of standby ticket number.
Jimmy Fallon and his team will be on campus Tuesday to film a segment for his late-night show with President Obama, which will air that night. The president's special appearance was announced on Twitter by both Fallon and Dan Pfeiffer, the White House communications director:
It will be filmed in Memorial Hall on Tuesday, but it has yet to be announced when filming of the show will begin.
Seniors were the only ones to be emailed a link to apply for tickets to the event. The link closed on Saturday, and all those who were awarded tickets were notified on Sunday morning, according to an email to seniors from the Office of University events. The show overbooked, and recipients still have to wait in line outside Memorial Hall to pick it up.
Seniors in the #ObamaOnFallon line are getting wristbands + tix with seat no.s. Once they're gone, no tix even if email was received.
— katelyn trela (@kayestee) April 23, 2012
Students will not be able to attend both the show and President Obama's speech due to security shut downs and timing issues, according to an email.
This stop is one of three colleges the president is visiting next week as Congress prepares to consider whether or not they will allow a 2007 provision that cut student loan interest rates in half to expire. He will also visit the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Iowa. The release states:
More than 7.4 million students with federal student loans will see their interest rates double on July 1 unless Congress steps in to keep them low. For each year Congress allows the rate to double, the average student with these loans racks up an additional $1,000 in debt. At a time when Americans owe more on student loans than credit cards, President Obama believes we must reward hard work and responsibility by keeping interest rates on student loans low so more Americans get a fair shot at an affordable college education, the skills they need to find a good job, and a clear path to middle class.
The White House's press release also stated that they will launch a social media effort using Twitter, Facebook and Google+ using the hashtag #DontDoubleMyRate.
Both the White House and UNC release promise to be updated with information as it becomes available.

has always loved beautiful things.
As a young woman
Audrey saved her allowance to buy
black basalt Wedgwood china
and later, when she had her own home,
she filled it with lovely glassware
and fabulous fabrics.
for Eastern European and Scandanavian folk art
and brought back artisan work
from her many European adventures.
from the fjord valleys of Norway,
roses which bloom in the depths of winter.
I send them to Audrey with my love
to brighten a grey February day.

hi all!!!
i just started my ISU for my programming class and i decided i want to make a chess game... i was wondering how i should go about programming the AI (no specific code required, just general steps to take etc.)
I was thinking of using the minimax algorithm to determine the next move for the computer and using the bitboard method of storing all the positions of the peices on the board.
any help would be appreciated,

Christie Calls Delayed Emergency Services Due To Bridge Closure 'Awful'
AP Photo / Mel Evans
"I've seen conflicting reports about the cause of death. It's awful to hear," Christie said at a press conference. "All I can do is apologize for the conduct of people who worked for me. I can't reverse time. If I could, believe me, I would. I'm going to apologize. That's all can do. There's nothing you can do."

Specialize Your City
Change in the Streets
Choosing a specialization for your city will influence its look, feel and personality. As you invest your town's resources in a specific industry, the look of the surrounding residential, commercial, and industrial areas will adapt and change to fit your new enterprise. Build a coal mine and watch as coal breakers and factories pop up in the industrial district. Build a casino, and watch as the surrounding houses become high-end condos, and the commercial businesses become brightly lit tourist hangouts and hotels. -
Influence the Region
The more you invest in a specific industry, the more influence you have over your region. As Mayor of a city specializing in oil or coal production, you can choose to provide power to neighboring cities, trade on the global market, or keep it all for yourself. These decisions will have effects on the global prices of resources. Be wary of the mass pollution that can spread to neighboring cities! Check the leaderboards to see your status as an industrialist, and make a name for your city in your region and the world. -
City Specialization
Choose the strategy for your city then specialize in the industry of your choice. Mayors seeking intelligent Sims can build a college town full of libraries, community colleges and universities. Specialize in Big Business such as Casinos, Electronics, Coal, Trade and more to increase the wealth of your city. Each specialization has major benefits but consequences as well. Educated Sims unlock technologies that will benefit your region but large universities are expensive to maintain. Casinos will bring tourism and raise Simoleons, but also attract unwanted crime.

James Harden scored 37 points and Aaron Brooks made a pair of free throws with 17 seconds left to lift the Houston Rockets to a 102-100 win over the Knicks on Friday night.
The Knicks had a chance to tie it at the end of the game, but Iman Shumpert missed a shot before Andrea Bargnani grabbed a rebound and dished it to Beno Udrih, whose running jump shot rolled in and out of the basket at the buzzer.
Several Knicks put their hands on their heads in disbelief as they watched the ball spin out.
Udrih and J.R. Smith both missed 3-pointers for the Knicks with under a minute remaining. Brooks grabbed the rebound on the second one and was fouled by Udrih to set up the game-winning free throws.
Harden scored a season-high 38 points in Houston's last game.
Shumpert, who scored a career-high 27 Thursday night, led the Knicks with 26 and Carmelo Anthony added 25.
Anthony returned on Thursday night after missing three games with a sprained left ankle and tweaked it late in that win. He was still struggling with it on Friday night, and winced almost every time he landed after jumping in the second half.
Shumpert hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead to two points before Tyson Chandler hit two free throws to tie it at 100 with 1:02 left. Chandler finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Houston used a big run to start the fourth quarter and erase an eight-point deficit. The teams exchanged leads several times after that, but neither team led by more than a basket in the quarter before Harden scored five straight points to make it 100-95 with 2:23 remaining.
Chandler Parsons added 17 points and 11 rebounds for Houston, Dwight Howard had 15 points and Jeremy Lin scored 14 against his former team.
The Rockets opened the final period with a 10-1 run to take an 83-82 lead with about nine minutes remaining. Francisco Garcia and Aaron Brooke made back-to-back 3-pointers to cap the run and take advantage of Anthony starting the quarter on the bench.
Harden scored 11 points, powered by three 3-pointers, in the opening minutes of the second half to stretch Houston's lead to 61-56 with about eight minutes left in the third quarter.
Anthony, who scored 45 points against Houston earlier this season, responded after that by making the first four points of an 8-0 run by New York to put the Knicks up 64-61.
The game was tied at 66-all when New York scored seven straight points to regain the lead 73-66.
New York led 81-73 entering the fourth quarter thanks in part to 13 points by Shumpert in the third.
The Knicks led by one with about 7½ minutes remaining in the second quarter when Houston used a 10-2 run to take a 39-32 lead.
Chandler received a technical foul in that span when he got tangled up with Howard and swung an elbow. Lin then made a nifty reverse layup and the ensuing free throw and Houston capped the run with an alley-oop dunk from Harden to Terrence Jones.
New York got going after that, using an 11-2 spurt, with consecutive 3-pointers from Anthony, to regain a 43-41 lead.
Parsons made a pair of free throws with seconds left in the second quarter to lead 48-47 at halftime.

You have a good eye, they are indeed a Rothschild rejected upper that Tony so kindly allowed me to use. Thought I saw a pair of your most recent shoes while I was there, but that might have been the last time?? Can't remember...
yea, I did not have a choice, they were an upper that was already made, but was easily alterable. Thanks!

It opens with notes of frozen citruses, apple, pineapple touched with pink pepper, which is accompanied with floral notes of hyacinth, clear and intensive jasmine, lotus and intoxicating seductress rose in the heart. The base introduces warm, milky notes of sandalwood, patchouli, amber, vetiver and sensual musk. The perfumer is Claudette Belnavis.

The best words to describe this perfume...SULTRY, mysterious, confident vixen...The pineapple in this is definitely not a tropical juicy fresh kind. It's more of just a hint of fruitiness. I think this perfume is very woody/amber-y first and foremost. It's almost peppery too! It has the same exact vibes as Chanel Chance (totally different scent but both give me the same feeling when I wear them). It is a woody, sultry, peppery perfume with some sweetness.
Sexy sexy sexy. please bring it back!! My God this is wonderful perfume. Warm clean pretty. I especially love the hyacinth. I do remember some pineapple in beginning. A guy stopped me on the street and said he "loved my lotion" and he couldn't keep his hands off me. And I never been approached because of cologne perfume. And I'm a guy! Lmao Of course discontinued!!!! Guess bring this back! I love this omg!
Never liked any of Guess fragrances..except for this golden ones! But I still can't love it..it's sexy, powdery but a bit harsh on my nose...it's a naughty sexy frag...dry down was a bit "dirty"..still have it since hubby love it :P
This smells masculine and strong. I gave it to my brother and he likes it and yes it smells like men's perfume on him, perfect. The reviews about good longevity are true, my brother said it stays for quite a while, 5 hours or so.
For you who likes floral/fruity/citrus/light/fresh scents, I am not sure you will enjoy Guess Gold.
At the risk of this getting downed, this is what I smell when I put on Aventus too, it's really great. Dark pineapple. Simply. A friend recommended I try it being a male, glad I did. I prefer it to Aventus as well, I could only smell Aventus for about 10 minutes and it was gone.
Start with pineapple, sandalwood, and jasmine note. Then it dries down like creamy vanilla. I like this one. First, it smells really like Chanel Chance, but the dries down goes another way from Chanel.
i get pineapple, amber, some sandalwood, and hints of jasmine. i kinda get a little vanilla too. a nice fall and winter fragrance. the pineapple adds a little sour note that makes this more mature. i think though for an under 30 age group. nothing really special. kinda makes me think of jeans and a t-shirt. casual fragrance. great for everyday wear. could be worn to work. business casual. its nice, but it doesnt stand out to me much.
It was a blind buy. It s not bad but nothing special for my taste. Would not buy it again.
Got this as a gift from my friend during college days,, love it & it always reminds me of her. Couldn't find it in stores now adays !
Am I the only one who thinks that guess gold smells just like chanel chance?
why guess discontinued my all time favoraite perfume :'( ?
Well, to my nose it has a vintage edge, it is interesting, rich, classy,quite strong, but not sure I am really impressed with it for some reason.
I agree this is better in winter, it develops nicer in cooler weather. I need to try it more to get a better idea, so far, this isn't really my cup of tea.
A friend of mine used to work in a Guess boutique, so when I inquired about this discontinued scent, she rummaged through the old stock out the back and re-emerged with a sample. I had heard a lot about Guess Gold, so I was rather excited when I opened the vial to apply it to my wrist.
Unfortunately the pineapple note is rather strong in the opening. Pineapple and my skin chemistry don't go hand in hand. For the first ten or so minutes, I smelt like one big sour and salty pineapple.
Thankfully the pineapple note softens towards the heart. I can barely detect the rose or the jasmine, but I do smell water lily and hyacinth. The floral notes are fairly short-lived on my skin, making way for a warm, ambery drydown.
I swear I can smell an earthy patchouli note in the base, alongside the sandalwood and amber. The drydown, was in my opinion, the best part of Guess Gold. It also had a slightly masculine quality, so I would definitely suggest this fragrance to men as well as women.
Overall, Guess Gold is a fairly strong fragrance with excellent longevity. Honestly, it's not my personal cup of tea, but I can see why some people love it. Occasionally a bottle can still be found online, however it is becoming increasingly rare. Snap it up while you still can.
an old favorite. warm, sweet and sexy. it's quite powerful so use very little. dries down very nicely. got compliments too :D
this is one of my favorite parfum! very sexy, very long lasting...
This is my current favourite fragrance, i wear it all time. I even got some nice comment on it.
It smells really nice on people and I have tried it from a friend once... However, I can't find it in the market anymore.. Even in big stores here they says it was discontinued (or at least they don't import it anymore).
This is a very warm and sexy scent. I always wore this on date nights. I haven't worn it for a few years now but thought I'd wear it out to dinner with my boyfriend recently and within 2 minutes of spraying it, I had a headache and wanted to puke. Don't get me wrong, it smells great, just like I remember but my body chemistry must not work with it anymore because I just can't handle it on me. Sometimes I'll sneak a quick whiff but anything longer than that and I can feel a headache forming and my stomach turning.
I really love this scent. It has a fancy quality that makes you feel like you are going out somewhere special. I hope it isn't discontinued like it appears because I really want to buy it. Can anyone tell me which fragrance really is similar to this one? I read people compared Worth to Blue Grass and not by a long shot because Worth is such a subtle and soft scent compared to Blue Grass.
oh my word what a gem this was for me! I have the original and she grew on me with time, and now she is empty so I tested this madame and was so impressed. Really reminded me of Alchemie by Rochas. Sweet, sensual and impressionable. I intend to buy her soon.......
I got a LOT of compliments by men with this perfume. I'm sad it has been discontinued. Found out new Bebe's Gold, seems very similar to me.
Es mi preferido y no he encontrado hasta ahora uno que se le iguale. No es de los mas caros y su perdurabilidad es excelente. Lo he llevado en mi piel por mas de 8hs intacto y puede llegar a durar 10hs.
Te queda la fragancia en la ropa por dias. Es una lastima que en mi pais cueste tanto conseguirlo.
Tengo otros perfumes que atesoro pero no tanto como al Guess Gold. En mi closet estan: Baby Doll, Ange ou Demon, Cristal Noir, Lady Million, Emporio She, Fantasy. Me gustan que los perfumes sean originales y no como el Miss Dior Cherie,Scarlet, sunflowers, Idylle, Guilty, que parece una colonia de baño
Guess Gold is warm and ambery, and very sexy. The depth of the warm amber and sandalwood is balanced by the soft florals and slight hint of sweet fruit. This is so inviting, it smells good enough to eat. This reminds me of the smooth warmness of vintage Obession, minus the spiciness, but with a hint of added sweetness from the pineapple. This sure got discontinued quickly, unfortunately, but Guess seems to discontinue all their best scents, IMO. I love this one, and wish they would bring it back.
I've been looking for this perfume at the stores and everybody is saying that it got discontinue! Does anybody else know something about it? This is my Favorite Perfume!
Floral and delicate very sexy!
one of my faves. its the best going out with your hubby or boyfriend scent
Very strong, intense, deep and luxurious.
Smells like million bucks.
My expectations weren't high (I mean that I did not expect Guess Gold to be a head turner), since previous Guess fragrances I added to my collection turned out to be joyful and playful rather than mature and serious.
Guess Gold is a noble fragrance.
From the start till the very dry down it offers a lot; juicy and tangy pineapple mixed with earthy vetiver, classy jasmine and warm amber.
It is extremely elegant, powerful and would match classy skirt suit when you're rushing to another formal meeting.
I expected a ligh and nearly gourmand touch, what I got instead is a top shelf juice that will make you feel dignified and extremely elegant.
Guess Silver is a great summer/spring fragrance whilst Guess Gold is a perfect choice for fall and winter.
Well done, Guess!
I already have all Guess fragrances in my collection and consider them the best fragrances for young women full of energy and positive spirit.
I really like this perfume, but I can't seem to find it anywhere...did they discontinue it?? I personally prefer the other guess perfume in the similar silver and pink bottle, but this one is really nice as well. It has the sweet, soft, and slightly spicy notes I have been liking recently. I am not sure how great it smells on me, the top notes are fantastic but during the dry down, I couldn't decide if it smelled good on me or not. Sometimes I thought it did, and other times, it kind of smelled like garlic breath and stale beer. I probably wouldn't buy this one for myself, but I have a co-worker who wears it, and I swear that on her, it smells absolutely divine, like God's own perfume. She is also 72 years old, by the way, for those of you thinking it may be too young for you!!
3 years ago, I wrote a review for the same perfume. Though, I'd say the opposite now, I'll still leave the old one!
I'm sure my body chemistry changed much than it used to be 3 years ago. Because, Guess Gold used to smell amazing on me and I could wear it for days in row.
I still have it, so I decided to try it on my skin, but I couldn't stand it anymore :(
Now, it smells too synthetic and overwhelming to my nose. I'll probably give it away soon..
Blind buy which I do not regret. It is in the spirit of Euphoria, Flowerbomb and Coco Mademoiselle all of which I have weared in the past. Amazing lasting power.
Sexy, warm, sweet. I love. Love the shimmering body lotion, a real must have:). Just ordered more of it:). I actually have been drawn to Guess perfumes over the years, sometimes I think their fragrances are too powerful, other times, I like the boldness. This one is balanced and I will have this one on my shelf for a while!
I've had the bottle for two years now and I spritz to "test" it occasionally if I'd pick new notes from it. I almost like it, especially the very first fresher floral fruity notes but it keeps coming so dense and thick as it developes. I bet it's the patchouli I can't stand. It is lightly sweet but as I saw mentioned comparing to CH 212 Sexy here, that one is sweeter and has more layers. They do have something in common but this one smells cheaper (but, in my opinion, they would fall into same category).
I try to wear this sometimes as I received this as a gift from my hubby when he visited California, US.
Got the plasticky little Guess handbag too.. ;)
this perfume is fruity & FRESH
Another guy magnet perfume! I'm married and I get compliments from random dudes when I wear this. I tell them they should buy some for their girlfriend. :P
a musky sandalwood floral with light fruit notes toward the end. i like it very much as a refreshing day scent. not loud and not too soft. just a perfect blend of the fruits and florals combined. very nice.
lasts about 3-4 hours on me. 8.5-10
Love this perfume! My best friend bought it for my brithday a few years ago...and Ive been buying it ever since.
Very feminine and sexy. I find I only need two squirts and Im good to go for the rest of the day!
Definitely one of my favs
i like the basic note i think its abit looks like chanel chance just more lightly !
its sexy warm and sweet :)
One of my best friends wears this, always reminds me of the good times when I smell it. The fragrance itself is warm, pretty, and fun!
My boyfriend purchased this one for me for Valentine's Day...I am shocked that someone picked out a scent for me and I actually love it! I haven't purchased a Guess scent ever...however, I think this Spring scent will be part of my continual collection. Now, the smell at first can be a little confusing because the pink pepper (for the keen noses) will be very poignant. However, it dies down to a very pretty floral. (Not a rose floral to my nose but more Jasmine scent.) I was walking from my apartment and a neighbor was walking behind me and stated, "Gosh, something smells good." My only negative is the staying power....so use the body wash and lotion to make it last all day or at least 6 hours.
I don't know why I hate this brand! I don't like any thing from this!
fresh, elegant, innocent...but not so much! For an elegant young lady!
i smelled this on a nurse one day and i must say it was delicious. it was just the right amount of sweet to not be childish and sickening. it was a little fruity with creamy caramel/pink pepper notes. it lasted her whole shift! this is a definite must for young ladies.
I felt pineapple in the top, no doubt.
But it is not floral-fruity on me, it is a dry, woody-peppery scent with just a little hint of sweetness. I can't detect any other fruit in it.
I don't mind because I like the woody scents, so I like this one too.
I agree with who says it is sharp at first spray, but some minutes after it become a very pleasant perfume, and I think it worth to waiting for this period.
I love the design of the bottle!
this perfume start with a sharp smell and yet when it reaches the heart notes, it is seducing, cinnamons? i don't know,
ladies should wear these on dates.
it's quite easy to find these in indonesia too.
overall, considering the price, this is worth every buck.
It's a nice gourmand/caramel fragrance but only in the dry down, the top and middle notes have some plastic or maybe rubber smell that I don't like ... anyway this is how it turns on my skin. It has an average staying power.
it strange, but i find this smell just like ONE MILLION by PACO RABANNE for MEN,
love it
It reminds a little bit to Euphoria, but it has no its character, power and longevity. Gourmand to me...
an attractive brunette in her early 30's walked into my bakery today, and it smelled soo nice.
i asked her what it was, and she said it was Guess Gold.
The scent stayed long after she was gone- either she over-applied or this is really strong.
it smelled really nice though, very sexy with spices and a fruity touch that kept it young.
different from anything else ive ever smelled, i'll have to try it on my skin.
i as just obsessed with this perfume...
its creamy n fruity in a sexy way.....
just cant get enough of this....
Creamy, sweet, plenty of spices, sensual...when my husband proposed i was wearing this perfume...well we met online and talked on and off for about three years. Suddenly he decided to travel to my country, and proposed after one month. I will always love this perfume. They should list the caramen and vanilla in the notes! i am sure it has a lot of these sweet notes!
I was very surprised by reading the reviews here, because for me this perfume is not creamy, nor sweet but just peppery and rubbery. It smells exactly like burnt rubber marinaded with black pepper and made me sneeze several times after I smelled it. Bottle is nice but this is a smell I never want to put on. No no no...
For those whose chemistry doesn't agree with Chanel Chance edp, try Guess Gold.
The fragrances have 5 notes in common: pineapple, hyacinth, jasmine, lemon, vetiver.
The result is unbelievable.
If I didn't know it's Guess, I'd easily be mistaken.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned it.
On my skin it smells better than Chance. Unfortunately, also has a light bittery-almondy-rubbery quality that I don't like.
The scent is sexy, modern, stylish and classy. Universal, I think ... For day and nightwear, and for women at any age. Could be unique, but it's so similar to the one mentioned before! What is the difference? Guess is maybe heavier ... Has better sillage and a serious staying power.
Definitely not a fruity floral. Maybe fruity-floral-gourmand...
Don't know what gives the gourmand sensation.
But, same with Chance, this one is ...
'not my cup of tea'! ;)
A sugary, fruity-floral. Not bad, but not amazing on me. I am definitely getting a note of "sugar" in the heart, which in the base turns more to "caramel"...presumably because of the amber. It's fading so fast on me, and I don't like the residual scent left behind on my skin as the notes are degrading. I think it might smell much better on someone else, but I also think it might smell much better if it were made with higher qualtiy ingredients.
It starts as a typical sweet fruity floral, sugary pinapple with a subdued citrus edge. Then I pick up the hyacinth and jasmine and wafts of what can only be desribed as plastic doll skin. It takes awhile to get to the bottom which is mainly musk.
All in all, it's just ok.
The edp lasted 4-5 hours on me but I can't get past the plastic note which lingered most of that time.
this has a very fruity opening slowly evolving into a jasmine lotus fantasy.the drydown is milky,with a woody caramel scent.smells wonderful for spring and summer,.in the day at a picnick or night for a great nite on the town.even tho really fruity,its a sexy scent that is sure to please.
The Opening Notes of fruits
Wraped with the middle of Jasmine
rose Water lily hiaciah and it dries
down to a Creamy Caramel intermingleing
with i can pick up a bit of incense
And Woods
Sweet pineapple, jasmine, and rose with a touch of sandalwood to bring it all together. I picked up a mini on sale without knowing what to expect (but who could resist that cute little heart shaped bottle the minis come in?)and I thought it was fabulous the moment I opened the bottle. Thankfully it stays that way on my skin. It seems there's a body chemistry issue after reading some of the reviews here. But give it a chance if you like the notes because if it works for you it's well worth it.
I hate this fragrance it literally turns my stomach. I received it as a gift and no matter how many times I hear people rave about it and then go back and try it the result is always the same. This fragrance seems to have a deadly mix of something but its just too much for me and my stomach.
I bought a bottle of Guess Gold over the internet, unsmelled, and was very disappointed. The packaging is very impressive and the bottle is very substantial but I wasn't so impressed with the perfume itself. From the rave reviews of it on here I was expecting it to be lovely so I was surprised to find that it's actually very ordinary. It's quite a heavy, dense perfume and not very unique. It reminds me a little bit of FCUK for Her, which is a perfume I don't like, and I notice that they do share some similar notes. Some reviewers have said though that it smells similar to 212 Sexy but I don't think it does at all and 212 Sexy is a perfume that I really like!
If I was to rate Guess Gold perfume out of 5 stars I'd give it a 3. It's OK but nothing special. In fact, I'm returning my bottle for a perfume I actually like!
I love the scent so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i think i am alergic to this perfume. My skin wont stop itching after I sprayed Guess Gold, I dont know what to do, I wont stop using it even if it itches!!!!!
I'm with Kittycat63. I am not sure at the moment if I care much for this perfume. Sometimes I catch a whiff of something that smells really nice, but then I go and sniff myself and almost choke on the overpowering pepper/pencil lead scent. :( It also has a bit of a glue smell on me. I'm not smelling much else but the pepper and musk. I really wanted a bottle of Guess Marciano (which smells lovely) but couldn't locate a bottle where I live. I came across Guess Gold and thought I'd give it a try since it had raving reviews, but I am not really diggin' the scent yet. It smells like a cross between 212 Sexy and Amor Amor. Love 212 Sexy, but hate Amor Amor. I guess that's why I am wavering back and forth on this one. Perhaps this will grow on me....but I am hating the pepper note.
I love this perfume! It's so sexy, sweet in a way and perfect for scent especially when you have a date :) One of my favorite perfumes!
My husband picked this up for me while he was out of town. I never smelled it before so I didn't know what to expect. I always have funny experiences when it comes to buying perfumes unsniffed.. I bought Diesel Plus Plus a few weeks ago. It's okay but lacked the milky vanilla note I was hoping for and was a little too unisex for me (although I do like it.
Well, Guess Gold takes up where Plus Plus let me down at! Yes, yes yes!!! This is milky, creamy, smooth vanilla and honey amber!
It starts out spicy with the pink pepper and citrus fruits. No paticular flower stands out too much (slightly unisex and similar in smell to PlusPlus) Smells slightly tropical. It isn't seconds later the bottom notes appear adding a feminine gourmand semi sweet warmth to the mix. Its more milky and creamy than sugary sweet. Will be great for the colder months!
I have it!! and i love it!! its sexy and powerful! it lasts long and i get a lot of compliments from both women and men. Almost the best perfume i've ever had after DKNY Be Delious
i was given this as a gift and only opened it about a year later-much to my surprise-i absolutely loved it from the first spray! compliments compliments and more compliments everytime i wear it! its definately a creamy smell and i can really smell the pineaplle but not overly sweet-not sure if its the balance of the pineapple and citruses but this works! less is more-staying power is excellent! i wear during the day and especially on summer nights-definately an intoxicating scent!
I really like the creamy scent of this perfume.it's similar to Carolina Herrera CH and some other creamy fragrances,but it's better than all of them.
according to the top notes,it seems to be so fruity and sour.(green apple+pineapple+citruses),but it's not.it's just creamy and juicy and it's intoxicating and seductive.
the floral heart is well mixed.I smell something like caramel which is a bit sweet,but very lovely.I think the most amazing middle note is hyacinth.(the flower of my country)
I think guess gold is more mature than guess and less fruity.on the other hand,it's less repetitive.
by the way I'm unsure of the long lasting power.the first time I wore it,it seemed to fade away soon,but I should give it another try.
Warm n sexy...
I found it very useful for a date in the evening!
Plus, it's a long lasting scent.
had it and HATED it :( sold it on ebay..i think its patchouli that makes me sick..i couldnt stand it..sorrrrryyy!!
wowww, the top notes are very fresh and clean and well blended with the warm base notes which give depth and sensuality for guess gold , its a very feminine special seductive perfume
Best perfume ever from Guess... Not only the clothing line rocks... But also the fragrance... My friends never stop complimenting the scent.... And very long lasting too.... It will stay a week or more if sprayed on our clothes... Definitely going to buy another one if mine finished.... The bottle is pretty too... Love that it comes with that cute purple thing which stores the fragrance...
thanx Mado Haddad! i guess i spritzed a little too much of it. will definitely try it again :)
its sexy but its exactly smell like LİPSTİCK to me :D thats why i love it so much.
That's not bad, but a little boring. It's soft and comfortable. I get more flowers than fruits and that's good, but somehow I can't help thinking of hairdressers products when I smell it.
Hi hena a
I tried all Guess woman fragrances: the original Guess, Guess Gold & Guess Marciano. I ca tell you that Guess gold is the best, at least in my humble opinion :)
A *lil* advice: wear it in a few spritzes, It lasts VERY long . But once you wear too much of it, you'll find it so over powering.
I guess I'd wear it mostly for Winter anyway :)
i tried it and i didn't really like it but based on all these reviews, seems like its a good perfume.
is it better than the original guess?
First sniff, it smells like Salvatore Ferragamo's Incanto Shine, one or two spritz and you are good,more than that is overpowering.
Just got it & I absolutely LOVE it. It's totally feminine,sexy&amazing !!
I've ben searching for a nice Winter scent that's not too warm or spicy or overwhelming.. I'm so glad I finally found what I'm searching for :)
I bought it with the gift set that encludes the fragrance, a mini heart shaped bottle with the fragrance & a WONDERFUL shimmering body lotion.. :D
I'd recommend it to almost anyone.. And, I'd also recommend buying the gift set with that shimmering lotion.
Try it !!
I like this one, smell very sexy

Croatian tourism minister offers condolences to those involved in Czech bus accidentZAGREB, 23.6.2012.
Croatian Tourism Minister Veljko Ostojic on Saturday expressed his condolences to those involved in a fatal bus accident in which eight Czech nationals died and over 40 were injured when their Zadar-bound bus crashed into a motorway barrier and tumbled near the Krpani tunnel on the motorway from the capital of Zagreb to the Adriatic city of Split at 3.50 am Saturday. The tourism minister said he conveyed condolences on his own behalf and on the behalf of the Croatian government to the families of the accident's victims. Minister Ostojic also announced that he would soon visit the injured passengers admitted to the hospital in the town of Gospic, central Croatia. The tourism ministry will offer all the logistic support to the families whose dearest ones had travelled in that bus to the Croatian coast on their summer holidays, the Croatian ministry said in a press release. Upon the recovery of the injured persons which I hope will be fast, the Tourism Ministry will offer them and their families arrangements for their stay on the Croatian coast, the Croatian tourism minister was quoted as saying in the press release.

By Paurvi Bhatt, Senior Director of Strategic Health Initiatives at Levi Strauss & Co.
Thirty years ago, leaders and employees at Levi Strauss & Co., facing the loss of colleagues and friends, came together to support each other and raise awareness about HIV and AIDS. We were one of the first companies to do so. A few years later, in 1987, our employees joined others in remembering our affected colleagues by creating an AIDS Memorial Quilt panel. It was a small step in the wake of tremendous loss, but it symbolized our commitment to fighting HIV/AIDS.
Now, after three decades of leading the business response to HIV/AIDS, Levi Strauss & Co. is proud to present our new panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. This time, the panel represents our commitment to end HIV/AIDS in our lifetime. It captures the voice of this generation of Levi Strauss & Co. employees – committed and ready to create an HIV-free future.
The panel itself is a patchwork of recycled denim. It displays the words of our employees from around the world – particularly the stories of our retail employees in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Brazil. They've dedicated the panel to The NAMES Project on behalf of our greater global employee population.
Both new and old quilt panels will be displayed at the National Mall, along with thousands of other quilt panels and in Session Room 1 at AIDS 2012. We're honored that AIDS 2012 has chosen our panels to greet the more than 20,000 conference attendees as they assemble to learn, debate, and discuss how we all can put an end to HIV/AIDS.
We believe the end of HIV/AIDS is in sight, but only if we all get involved, know the facts and respect each other. That's why we're tapping into the stories of The NAMES Project to raise awareness among our employees and consumers. We'll do so by sending our quilt panels "on the road." They'll travel from Washington, D.C., to Levi's® retail stores and offices around the world before finally arriving at Levi Strauss & Co. headquarters in San Francisco in December.
The journey of the quilt panels honors 30 years of the company's own journey of support, commitment and leadership in addressing HIV/AIDS worldwide. Our initial grassroots education effort has evolved into a comprehensive corporate strategy to address HIV/AIDS in the workplace and around the world through education, policy change and human rights advocacy.
We support our employees and their dependents through access to HIV/AIDS education, testing, treatment and care services. In communities around the world, we protect the human rights of people living with HIV/AIDS and support related services for apparel workers in factories that make our products. And, in advocating for the rights of at-risk populations, we support programs that prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and work to improve access to care through insurance reform.
Levi Strauss & Co. and the Levi Strauss Foundation, proud sponsors of the International AIDS Conference, have contributed more than $60 million in grants to HIV/AIDS service organizations in more than 40 countries.

Review: ZombiU
Grab your cricket bat, were hunting zombies
In England tonight
~ Joshua Murney
Platform: Wii U
Developer: Ubisoft Montpellier
Publisher: Ubisoft
It is no secret that the Nintendo Wii was severely lacking in third party support. If Nintendo did not make the game directly it was most likely bargain bin material. The Wii just could not handle the high definition games the Xbox 360 and PS3 provided. Not to mention the controls were hard to design for any game that was not 2-D or a shaking marathon. Nintendo addressed this problem when marketing the Wii U. Right off the bat they showed off Assassin's Creed III, Darksiders II, and many other games that were not possible on the Wii. At the centre of it all we find ZombiU. A third party game from Ubisoft designed exclusively for the Wii U. It was the showcase game from the Wii U's announcement till its launch. Now that the game is out the question is does it live up to the hype?
ZombiU while having many problems is still a great game that shows off the Wii U's capabilities. The game has you looking back and forth from the Wii U gamepad to the TV in order to survive a zombie apocalypse. You play in a first person perspective on the TV, fighting zombies and searching for supplies to help you survive. While the gamepad screen has you checking your radar, map, and inventory. The moments when you are focusing on the gamepad instead of the TV are the highlights of the game. When you are looking at the gamepad your perspective changes from a first person to a third person fixed perspective. You feel completely vulnerable to the flesh hungry creatures, as you can't move your character while doing your task. You want to finish finding that first aid kit in your backpack or removing a wood plank from a blocked door so that you can shoot the zombie that has been creeping up on you in the head.
Two screens to watch
Throughout the game you will play as many different survivors. Every time you die in the game you wake up in your home bunker as a different survivor. This is a very clever way to make your character feel valuable. His/her life means something when you realize that character isn't coming back. There is also a nice scoring system that gives you a score based on how well you survived with each character having you trying to get a better survivor score with each character you play as. You can even take it a step further and play survival mode were you see how high of a score you can get with only one survivor. Once you are dead it is game over, you have to start from the beginning of the campaign. I got addicted to trying to beat my friend's survivor scores in both regular and survival mode.
You learn about the zombie-infested world and how to survive in it through a well-equipped narrator who you learn more about as you progress through the campaign. It is pretty forgettable, but nice filler between intense zombie killing battles. The game really could have benefited from some cutscenes or a different method to tell its story. You end up feeling like you are just going to point A to point B in every mission with no motivation.
I was caught by surprise when I learned that ZombiU had a rather fun multiplayer mode! It as a capture the flag type game were one person with a Wii Remote and Nunchuck or Pro Controller, face another person with the gamepad. The person with the gamepad plays as the "king of zombies" and puts down zombies in a real time strategy game kind of way, while the other player plays as a survivor who must shoot them all down. The players fight to see who can capture a certain amount of flags first. Both positions are cool in there own right and it is fun to go head to head in a battle of precision vs. wit. It is a shame that there is no online multiplayer, but it is still fun to play with friends.
This cricket bat will be your best friend
ZombiU's biggest downfall has to be that the cricket bat takes a ridiculously long amount of time to kill zombies. I found myself taking three to four hits on average to kill a zombie, which takes as long as you would think it would. This wouldn't be such a problem if the cricket bat weren't the weapon you have to use for the majority of the game. Bullets are scarce and valuable so most of the time you are using the old cricket bat to deal with zombies. If I never have to hear the survivor make the stupid grunt sound they do when they swing the cricket bat it will be to soon.
This isn't a typical zombie game. It is much slower and has you scavenging for items in order to survive. Don't expect Left 4 Dead on the Wii U going into this game. ZombiU is definitely a one of a kind experience and one you should strongly consider for your Wii U collection. However, pacing issues and a weak story holds this game back from being a must have. If you are interested in an authentic zombie survival experience, it doesn't get better than ZombiU. Otherwise I would suggest searching elsewhere to get your zombie fix.
+ Great use of the Wii U's controls
+ Authentic survival experience
+ Fun multiplayer
- Cricket bat is wayyy to slow
- Story is meh

I never mentioned Magyar (Hungarian). It's an intrusive language closer to Central Asian languages. Or Romanian. Macedonian and Greek are used in Eastern Europe too, but I guess you assumed I knew they're Hellinistic. Or Lihtuanian and Latvian, wherever they fall. With the knowledge of Slavics that I have, and what I looked up, it didn't look right to me.

Anderson hits RVD with a couple of big forearms and a spinning neckbreaker, but he still can't keep RVD down. Anderson hits the standing Green Bay Plunge, landing on top of his own head, but he goes for the cover, only getting a two count. Anderson goes for the mic check, but RVD fights him off, and both men connect with clotheslines, both crashing down to the mat.
Both men get to their feet where they go blow for blow. Van Dam sends Anderson into the corner and buries his shoulder in Anderson's midsection over and over, but Anderson side steps a charging RVD and RVD ends up going shoulder first into the ring apron, when he gets to his feet, both men crack heads. Both men get back to their feet and RVD launches himself into Anderson with a big cross body that sends both men over the top rope to the outside. Van Dam breaks the count, and both men trade blows on the outside, fighting up to the ramp where Anderson is able to connect with the mic check.
The referee is counting, and both men are crawling back to the ring, but neither man is able to make it back into the ring before 10.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Gov. Bill Haslam has signed an agreement with eight other states to protect the dairy industry in the event of an outbreak of hoof and mouth disease.
According to the state Agriculture Department, the agreement is called the Secure Milk Supply Plan. It sets standards by which milk producers, haulers and processors interact with animal health authorities to reduce the risk of spreading hoof and mouth disease in the event of an outbreak.
Although the disease has not been seen in the U.S. since 1929, outbreaks occur every year in other countries and the disease could easily be introduced through international trade.
For more information on the Secure Milk Supply Plan and opportunities to learn more about it, contact the State Veterinarian's Office at 615-837-5120.
