Fallout 3 is an action role-playing open world video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios. It is the third major installment in the Fallout series. The game was released in North America, Europe and Australia in October 2008, and in Japan in December 2008 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Games Similar to Fallout 3: ....
Fallout 3 was my favorite Bugthedsa game, I also like TES:IV.
I have played all the games on that list, I would say the only similarity between any of them is either a) They are set in a post-apococolyptic setting b) They are RPG's C) They have over the top weapons. The Fallout series is fairly unique, in a way its a shame their no first party alternatives from MS or Sony to give Bugthedsa a run for their money.
Ugh, Mass effect is the only rpg on the list, the rest are shooters, so they play different.
Fallout is Fallout, which is why I love it. Nowhere else are you going to get a 40's/50's-centric future post apocalyptic RPG, that's just the way it is. The article seems to make the connection that if it has guns=like F3.

Morgan State Legacy Meet Results
Princeton Larry Ellis Invitational Results

Translator's Note: Five Poems by Gottfried Benn
Once before in these pages (October 2006), I sketched at slightly greater length the career of Gottfried Benn, and in particular how this major twentieth-century German poet has been received (or not received) in English. Not wanting either to repeat myself or contradict myself, this time I will just offer a few comments on the further group of translations appearing here. The six poems that ran then were all "late"—i.e., from the last ten years of Benn's life. That is the area I will undoubtedly concentrate on in the book I hope eventually to bring out. But I have long thought I would have to gesture at Benn's beginnings and some of his development, before those beerily misanthropic and magically beautiful mutterings that have always particularly entranced me as a reader.
Here, "The Young Hebbel" (1913) and "Jena" (1926) are early and middle period respectively. Hebbel was a nineteenth-century German playwright and poet, a poor man and an autodidact; the poem, which first appeared in the magazine New Pathos—there's a name to conjure with!—leading off a cycle called "Sons"—the great Expressionist subject!—is an early essay in biography and monologue. It hints at other Benn poems to come, on the subject of "the artist as hero," like "Chopin" and "The Evenings of Certain Lives," on Rembrandt and Shakespeare. "Jena," with its strange and typical mixture of almost coldly dispassionate and elegiac, takes up the person of Benn's own mother. "Static Poems" (1943) is the title poem of the pivotal volume Benn got published first in Switzerland (he wasn't allowed to publish in Germany, the Allies forbade it) and then in 1949 in Germany to wonder and acclaim. Obstinacy, wisdom, and solitude are centrifuged into one single quality in the poem; contemporary readers have much to learn from it, and many reasons for which to read it.
The other poems are safely "late" or "late again": two world wars, two marriages, two bereavements, careers in the military and medicine, and forty years of writing have gone into their making. My allegiances—the inevitable result, perhaps, of long acquaintance—are divided between prominent poems and obscure, fragmented things that have almost no public existence. "What's Bad" has been published before in other versions in English; it's almost safe to call it a well-known poem. The others, though, are more recessive. "Gladioli" is a majestic and ragged poem on a majestic and ragged flower (throughout his work Benn makes great play with flowers; indeed, I find myself thinking of Berryman's lovely penultimate line in his "A Strut for Roethke" in connection with Benn: "Weeds, too, he favoured as most men don't favour men"). "They Are Human After All" is a poem of what one might call bridge-building to ordinary people (the sort of people who elsewhere in Benn—same pub, same speaker, different mood, different evening—merely get called, in two or three or four terms of contempt, "the married couple and their loathsome hound"). "Finis Poloniae" elaborates a German, or strictly speaking, a Latin tag; the captured Kosciusko said it in 1794 when he fell into the hands of the Prussians. The part of Brandenburg where Benn was born and grew up was transferred to Polish jurisdiction after 1945; the finish therefore concerns him rather more than one might suppose. Strangely, each time I read it, I picture scenes from Andrzej Wajda's film Ashes and Diamonds: rain, dazzle, sorrow. "Zeh was a pharmacist" is a longtime favorite of mine (remember, if you will, that Benn, as the son of a pastor and a slightly non-conformist physician himself—he was a skin specialist and clap doctor—knew what value to put upon creative charlatanry; he would not have thrown the first stone). And a single section of a poem simply called "Late," which suggests to me that Benn—big Benn he has been called—was like a bell, humming with the force of its own vibrations: the word gongs throughout those years, "Late," "Late Self," "Late Look," "Late in the Year," "Apreslude."
The striking thing about Benn is that he writes as though there were no other poets, and as though everything he wrote was self-evidently a poem. Everything comes through in an effortlessly and wholly personal timbre, so to speak, a personal typeface. On some level he did manage to transcend the duality of cerebral and biological ("All else is natural world and intellect") and write as simply as a flower flowers. Imagine a Larkin less veiled, discreet, conciliatory, half-optimistic, teetering, and somehow more lovable; for whom desolation was acknowledged as a fundamental and inescapable condition of being; for whom "groping back to bed after a piss" was not at the further reaches of his writing, but more or less where it began; and I think you get a little nearer to Benn.—MH

COOPER RIVER, N.J. - Last season, the MIT freshmen eight earned a national bid for the National Championship, but was knocked out in the semi-final. This year's crew took to the qualifying heats with the goal of reaching the Third Level Final; a feat that has avoided Tech's heavyweights in recent history. After a series of excellent races, the Engineers accomplished their mission and broke into a new level of national collegiate racing.
MIT's frosh drew a tough first heat on Thursday, finishing fourth in the six-team field. Though the Engineers rowed an excellent race (6:05.8), California took the heat and all the other boats were relegated to the second chance qualifying heat in the afternoon. Brown and Yale also finished ahead of Tech's clip, while the Cardinal and Gray defeated Michigan and Lehigh.
MIT fell to Boston University in the next qualifying heat to place it in the C/D semifinals, although the Engineers made a strong push. Both of the times MIT's rookie crew rowed during Thursday's session were faster than the crew had ever gone during the regular season, while Tech's late-season speed did not go unnoticed by many of the teams competing. Despite the second-place effort, the Engineers finished well ahead of Gonzaga and Ohio State.
Facing elinination, the freshmen eight needed to secure a top-three finish in Friday's semifinals to advance to Saturday's final. Syracuse took control and was able to qualify without having to sprint, but MIT, Michigan, Ohio State and Columbia were all racing for two spots. A coordinated push at the 1200-meter mark secured a spot in the final for MIT as the Engineers finished second in the race. St. Joseph's finished third to grab the last spot.
While the youth-laden Engineers had posted some excellent times earlier in the Regatta, the team never got on track in the Third Level Final. It was Navy and MIT out of the blocks, but the Engineers were unable to establish a rhythm, and quickly found themselves racing in the middle of a heated pack. Some of the crews which had been holding back, were able to execute some more moves, and MIT was unable to answer. Though the crew endured a tough, final race, they earned 18th overall in the Regatta, beating out the likes of Dartmouth, Columbia and George Washington, who were all eliminated.
The varsity heavyweights entered a varsity four with coxswain and a varsity pair at the championships. The varsity four, consisting of sophomore, Sam McMeety in stroke; senior, Mike Whitaker; sophomore Ben Kravit; junior Martin Harrysson in bow and sophomore, Joyce Gallagher as coxswain rowed two very good races. The quad finished third in it's heat on Thursday morning, losing to Gonzaga and Penn while closing ahead of St. Joseph's and Syracuse.
Placed in the C/D semifinals, the varsity four was scheduled to row on Friday at 2 p.m., however, thunderstorms and torrential rain forced at first a two-hour delay, followed by an indeterminate delay, and finally a rescheduling for Saturday morning. In this race, MIT needed to finish no lower than third to avoid elimination from the regatta and to advance to the Third Level Final.
Amid the pressure, this proved to be their best race of the regatta, as they lost to RIT by three seconds, Long Beach State by less than one, while pulling ahead of Syracuse by slightly less than one second and Minnesota by five seconds thereby advancing to the Third Level Final and putting both Syracuse and Minnesota "on the truck". Because of the postponements, this Final had to be rowed some two hours later. MIT came in fifth in a tight and exhausting race won by Long Beach State, followed by RIT, Navy and St. Joseph's. In their last race, the Engineers upended the University of Delaware.

I love the rug.
I was lucky to find a rug that includes all the colors that appear in my living room furniture and accessories. I was nervous about the colors since so many reviews of other rugs stated that colors were not as represented on the webiste. The colors for this rug are true to those depicted in the photo. I'm a big fan of flat weave rugs. You can fold them up and they can actually be washed by commercial cleaners using water. Because of these two attributes, flat weave rugs do not hold and trap dust and allergens as much as pile rugs do.
Beautiful Rug
This rug has really beautiful colors - the description states blue and beige, but I would say it's mostly blues, aqua, green, and gray. I love the flat weave, you can get it cleaned and no shedding!

Land Rover Expedition AmericaPosted in Events on September 9, 2013
Ever wanted to drive across the United States? What about drive across the United States off-road? Well, that's just what Land Rover has proposed, driving three outfitted '13 Land Rover LR4 4x4s on a 5,000-mile trip over the Trans-America Trail starting in Asheville, North Carolina, and finishing up in Port Orford, Oregon. The Land Rover Expedition America began July 26th, and the company invited us along to drive a section of the trail! We'll get behind the driver's seat August 12-16th. You can follow along our drive section with daily updates here at http://www.fourwheeler.com/ as well as on https://www.facebook.com/fourwheelermag, @fwmag on Twitter, and fourwheelermag on Instagram.
We'll update regularly with images, short stories, and videos. To follow the entire trip check out https://www.facebook.com/landroverusa and #LRExpeditionAmerica on Instagram today!
For more info about the trip check out www.interactivelandrover.com. Follow us along at fourwheeler.com all this week to see where we're headed next!
Day 1:
With the Land Rover American Expedition already well underway, I hopped on a plane to Utah, to drive my leg of the journey behind the wheel of one of three '13 Land Lover LR4s. While waiting for my bag at the small airport I noticed a single trail-dusted LR4 driving away from the loading area. I didn't see any others and it was too far away to chase after on foot, plus I still needed my luggage. I was already being left behind, and perhaps the funniest part is that one of the journalists on the trip, who shall remain unnamed, knows me and my brother and even talked to me as we were boarding the plane. He's a somewhat particular fellow, the kind of guy that complains to a waitress doing the best she can. He seems to have very little outdoor interest or experience and has already mentioned having been an asthmatic child. It should be interesting (funny) if we we have to camp on the trail a night or two. Anyway, he must have felt pretty silly when they had to turn around to pick me up. Oh well, I figure every adventure is better if it at least starts with a funny story. A few phone calls later and the driver was on his way back to get me and make the hour drive to our hotel for the night and dinner.
You never know what to expect when you get behind the wheel of a vehicle that's been piloted and abused on- and off-road by other journalists. I've met a lot of these journalists over the years at press events, some are experienced and talented wheelmen, others are overly cautious bumbling newbies that are well aware of their lack of skills, and perhaps the most dangerous and scary to ride with are the novice drivers with something to prove. These individuals can quickly get in over their heads. I've been put into a vehicle with all of them behind the wheel at one time or another, and in some aspects I have been all of them, too.
There is a lot of potential for messes when you put journalists into press cars. Sticky sugar-coated steering wheels and shifters are not uncommon. Since this is a cross-country trip I'm sure plenty of fish crackers, trail mix, beef jerky, and M&Ms have already fallen between the seats and spilled coffee and Coke stains have tainted the carpet. I'll try and take inventory of the floor food when I get in a vehicle. It's a long trip, I'll have time.
Interestingly enough, I have no idea what the driving arrangements are for this trip. I'd love to believe I'll be plopped behind the driver-seat of my very own LR4 with no one else in the vehicle, although it appears that's not the case. All I really know for sure is that I'll be in a Land Rover LR4 on- and off-road along the Trans-America Trail for the next three days from Cedar City, Utah, to Elko, Nevada. Wish me luck and stay tuned for Day 2. I'll let you know what kind of co-drivers I have, the type of trouble we get into, and if someone gets left for dead on the trail.
Day 2
Today was simply awesome. I think I ate a whole bag of beef jerky all by myself. The driving duties behind the wheel of our '13 Land Rover LR4 are all up to another journalist and I. We keep a pretty good pace for the most part, but we do keep in mind that we are rolling on 18-inch factory wheels and 55-series tires. We are usually kept busy dodging sharp rocks in the trail to avoid flats. I'm sure I will regret saying this, but there were no tire troubles today on any of the vehicles, although the tires are looking pretty ragged. It sure would be nice to have some more sidewall and an aggressive tread pattern.
Anyway, we started out the day in Richfield, Utah. I settled in with my co-driver/meat sacks and quickly found out that we all have nearly the same sick and twisted sense of humor. Birds of a feather I guess. This made time and the miles pass amazingly fast, even though we hit several dead ends on our planned route in the mountains just outside of Richfield, Utah. We had to backtrack a bit and find a different path several times. This is the kind of thing you have to expect when traversing a cross-country trail that's never been fully navigated by a 4x4. One dead end took us to a really cool pond that looked more like a zero-edge pool hanging off the side of a mountain.
Eventually we found the correct connecting points of the Trans-America Trail and made some great time the second half of the day after stopping for fuel and lunch Kanosh, Utah. The wide graded roads allowed an easy 50-60 mph. We stopped at the Border Inn for the night (on the border of Utah and Nevada). When you stop by, ask the employees at the one and only restaurant to sing and perform for you, you won't be disappointed. Stay tuned tomorrow for Day 3. My co-driver and I will hop in the lead car with Tom Collins, the ring-leader and planner of this inter-state adventure, to see if we can't drive him nuts.
Day 3
I woke up to shower and came to realize that my hotel bar of soap could easily be mistaken as a pillow mint. I really hoped this was not a sign of what to expect today.
We hit the dirt for a trail day consisting of about 215 miles, nearly 200 miles of it off-road. Starting in Baker, Nevada and ending in Eureka, Nevada, we found ourselves on everything from a well-maintained 50-mph-plus graded dirt road to an almost single-track cow trail. My co-driver and I hopped in the lead vehicle with the mastermind behind navigating the trail, Tom Collins. Prior to the event, Tom spent months planning the route, with help from Sam Correro (www.transamtrail.com) among others. Sam took a good portion of the '90s hand picking dirt trails and roads to link together so he could cross the country on a motorcycle. As far as anyone knows, this is the first time a 4x4 has made the off-road expedition from ocean to ocean. In preparation of the trip, Tom literally followed the trail on Google maps to try and make sure it was passable in a 4x4 such as our '13 Land Rover LR4. As you can imagine, it took weeks of 18-hour days, clicking and zooming in, trying to locate trouble spots, keeping in mind that some of the online images could be up to a couple years old. In some areas trees would hide the trail, so he searched out videos that many of the motorcycle riders making the trip had posted online. This offered an up-close view of what to expect. Today was one of those questionable, masked trail days.
In my opinion Tom must be the most patient man in the world. He is somehow able to quietly settle into the passenger seat behind a Terratrip mileage indicator, topagraphy maps loaded onto an old laptop with GPS capability, and turn-by-turn roll charts from www.transamtrail.com. He calmly calls out turns and maintains an unbelievably cool head while rogue bumbling journalists entertain themselves from behind the wheel and attempt to sabotage his trip, or at least slow or temporarily stop progress with things like flat tires and lunch breaks. I am a far lesser man. I would likely get to the point of wanting to rip the driver from the seat and leave him in a shallow grave in the U.S. outback. When I asked Tom how he can possibly maintain his sanity from the passenger seat, he responded that he learned it from being a waiter in Aspen. I'm sure that without that job experience, some journalists on this trek would come up "missing".
Anyway, today the rocks were especially sharp and treacherous. The fact that much of the trail was extremely narrow did not help the situation. The vehicles carry multiple fullsize spare tires, all stock.
We stopped for fuel in Preston, Nevada and spoke with the gas station attendant. He mentioned that he has seen motorcycles pass through on the trail for years, but never a 4x4. After a quick lunch at a local burger joint we steered back into the dirt.
Around 150 miles in a small stone wedged itself into the tread of one tire, causing a slow leak. A few tire plugs and a quick air up had us back on the trail in no time. The last bit of the trail today was the tightest so far with several washouts that were still drivable. It's expected that the washouts will be worse today. Fortunately, we have shovels, a pick, an axe, and even a chainsaw to aid in building a bridge if need be. Be sure to check back tomorrow to find out how it goes.
Final Day-Day 4
I felt fat and lazy from eating and snacking all week long. A breakfast burrito that morning at our start point in Eureka, Nevada, didn't exactly put me on my A-game so I chased it with some coffee, something I rarely do because most people can't stand me as it is. Adding caffeine in close quarters exacerbates the situation and can make me absolutely unbearable for some personality types.
Anyway, my co-driver and I settled back into our original '13 Land Rover LR4 positioned behind the lead vehicle. Following requires a lot less attention. We could simply meander behind the dust cloud created by the lead Land Rover. This freed-up the needed brainpower for the four of us riding in 4x4 to discuss the unimportant questions of life like "Who is on your celebrity get out of jail free card?" which as it turns out is far different than the answers to "What celebrity would you marry?". Other questions required a bit more prodding and resulted in all of us figuring out that we are hoarders. The hoarded items included rubber bands, used empty cheap plastic lighters, old clothing, cardboard boxes, beer cans, beer taps, Land Rover gear, and used tooth brushes among other things. Each of us had an explanation and justification for the horded items, all true hoarders do. As the day progressed the conversations revolved around the belief in aliens, ghosts, the Loch Ness Monster, and so on. If you spend enough time with four people in a vehicle you get to know them really well.
We chewed through several more beef jerky types (including tasty bacon jerky) while navigating over mostly graded roads with minimal washouts. A good silt-bed section made for interesting driving as the wind direction changed and took visibility to absolutely zero. There was so much dust that our LR4's dual air filters even needed a knockout in the hotel parking lot. We finished the day early and came to the end of our drive portion of the Trans-America Trail at Battle Mountain, Nevada. The next wave of journalists were set to hop in here.
During the week we bumped into a pair of dual-sport riders (Michael Fletcher and Tim Sharp) that we seemed to be leap-frogging with for hundreds of miles. They were making the Trans-America trek from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to the Nevada/Oregon border near Cedarville, California. We would usually catch them around lunchtime each day. The rough technical sections of the trail are much faster on a motorcycle, but the long loose rocky roads and sketchy silt beds are faster in a 4x4. When we reached our final stopping point we caught the two riders once again, only this time one of the bikes was broken down. The rear wheel bearings had eaten themselves on Mike's ride. Mike had already ordered the parts. He and Tim were waiting for the shipment. The next morning we wished them and the new journalists taking our LR4s luck and hopped on our plane for home.
Since some of the Trans-America Trail has only been navigated by motorcycles and our '13 Land Rover LR4s are likely the first 4x4s to complete the entire trek, a few of the paths are pretty narrow. I suspect by this time next year the Trans-America Trail will be quite a bit more popular with the 4x4 crowd. In fact, I'd like to get back out on the trail myself and traverse it from the New Mexico area up to the Oregon coast. I think this would be the most interesting section of the trail. And who knows, maybe I'll spend the next few years completing small sections as I have time, much like it's founder Sam Correro at www.transamtrail.com.

Randy Moore is the winner of the 2008 Evolution Education Award from the National Association of Biology Teachers, according to a press release issued on October 14, 2008, by the American Institute of Biological Sciences. The award, sponsored by AIBS and the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, recognizes innovative classroom teaching and community education efforts to promote the accurate understanding of biological evolution.
Texas's newspapers are beginning to express their editorial support of the draft set of science standards, released by the Texas Education Agency on September 22, 2008, and applauded for their treatment of evolution by the Texas Freedom Network, Texas Citizens for Science, and the newly formed 21st Century Science Coalition.
After her lawsuit challenging the Understanding Evolution website on constitutional grounds was dismissed for lack of standing on March 13, 2006, Jeanne Caldwell appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit. In a ruling dated October 3, 2008, the appeals court rejected her appeal, affirming the lower court's decision.
A new coalition of Texas scientists voiced its opposition to attempts to dilute the treatment of evolution in Texas's state science standards, which are presently undergoing revision. At a news conference in Austin on September 30, 2008, representatives of the 21st Century Science Coalition challenged the idea that students should be told that there are "weaknesses" in evolution.
The International Planetarium Society recently issued a statement on the ancient age of the earth and universe, noting that "Many independent lines of scientific evidence show that the Earth and Universe are billions of years old.

In the News
Survey—Many Adults Believe Children and Teens do not Receive Mental Health Services: A new national survey reveals that many adults believe children and teens do not receive needed mental health services. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation commissioned the National Voices Project to facilitate a five-year study of how adults who work and volunteer every day on behalf of children perceive access to mental health services for kids and teens on a local community level. Survey participants were asked how much availability there is in their communities for children and teens to receive health care services. More than half of all respondents note that there is "lots of availability" for teens to have hospital care (55 percent) and primary care (56 percent) in their communities. But across all health care services, only 30 percent of respondents reported "lots of availability" for mental health care. (PsychCentral.com, 4/3/13)
More than Half a Million Kids Believed to Have Leading Poisoning: More than half a million U.S. children are now believed to have lead poisoning, roughly twice the previous high estimate, health officials say. The increase is due to a lowering last year by the government of the threshold for lead poisoning, so now more children are considered at risk. The new number translates to about 1 in 38 young children. That estimate suggests a need for more testing and preventive measures, some experts said, but budget cuts last year eliminated federal grant funding for such programs. (Associated Press, 4/4/13)
Obama Asks for $100 Million to Map Human Brain: President Obama will ask for $100 million in his fiscal 2014 budget to fund a research initiative to map the human brain and better understand how it functions. The ultimate goal of the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies Initiative—or BRAIN Initiative for short—is to find new ways to treat and possibly prevent disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and many others. The diseases combine to cost the healthcare system roughly $500 billion a year. The project has been likened to the Human Genome Project, the 1990s initiative to map all the genes in human DNA. The cost of sequencing a single human genome dropped from $100 million to $7,000 after successful completion of the project, paving the way for personalized medicine. It remains to be seen whether the Congress will fund the initiative. (The Washington Post, 4/2/13)
Dementia Care Costs More Than Heart Disease, Cancer: Costs associated with caring for dementia amounted to between $159 billion and $215 billion in the U.S. in 2010, and are expected to increase nearly 80 percent per adult by 2040, according to a new study. That makes it more expensive than treatments for patients with heart disease or cancer, researchers report in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study, conducted by the RAND Corp., found that nearly 15 percent of people aged 71 or older, about 3.8 million people, have dementia. By 2040, the authors said, that number will increase to 9.1 million people. Medical bills for dementia patients are comparatively small, amounting to 16 percent to 25 percent of the total tally. By far, the most expensive part of dementia care is the cost of caring for patients, either in nursing homes or their own homes. (The New York Times, 4/3/13)
Clinicians Urged to Report Problems with CPT Codes: Clinicians are being urged to register with the American Psychiatric Association (APA) any incidents they have encountered with insurers refusing to pay for services in accordance with the new psychiatry section of the American Medical Association's (AMA's) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes — in hope that the organization can help solve problems or, if needed, initiate litigation. Although the new billing and documentation codes went into effect January 1 of this year, there have been reports that some insurance companies have been rejecting bills or reducing rates because of misunderstandings or disagreements over the codes. "CPT code changes were intended to more accurately reflect the work psychiatrists do and improve patient access to care. But the APA said they have been used as an excuse by some payers to discriminate against psychiatric patients and their psychiatrists in violation of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. (American Medical Association, 4/3/13)
Education Organizations Call for School Safety Policies that Support Children's Well-Being: Leading education organizations have called on Congress and the Administration to enact school safety policies that will genuinely support the well-being and learning of students over the long term, rather than reactive strategies that may cause more harm than good. A Framework for Safe and Successful Schools provides recommendations for improved school safety and access to mental health services for students. The groups caution against excessive emphasis on overly restrictive security measures, such as armed guards and metal detectors, which do not necessarily improve safety and can undermine the school climate and learning. They oppose arming school staff and reiterate that, if a school determines the need for armed security, school resource officers (commissioned police officers trained to work in schools) should be the only armed school personnel of any kind. The full report is available at: http://www.nasponline.org/resources/framework-safe-and-successful-schools.aspx. (National Association of School Psychologists, 4/4/13)
Experts Worry VA Hiring of Mental Health Counselors May Hurt Community-Based Programs: Some experts are concerned that the hiring of 1,600 additional mental health professionals by the Department of Veterans Affairs could adversely affect already-understaffed community health organizations. Charles Curie, former administrator of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, said the recruitment of experienced counselors from community-based organizations would make it difficult for those organizations to replace them. "You might end up just shifting them around," Curie said. "There could be unintended consequences — more staff for the VA but less for everyone else." (The Washington Post, 4/6/13)
Brain Scans May Help Identify Children at Risk for Schizophrenia: Brain scans may help doctors identify and help children at risk for schizophrenia, according a recent study. Researchers performed functional MRI brain scans on 42 children, aged 9 to 18, while they played a game in which they had to identify a simple circle out of a lineup of emotion-triggering images, such as cute or scary animals. Half of the participants had relatives with schizophrenia. The brain scans showed that the circuitry involved in emotion and higher order decision making was "hyperactivated" in children and teens with a family history of schizophrenia. This suggests that the task was stressing out these brain areas, according to the study, which was published in the journal Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging.(HealthDay News, 4/5/13)

Latest Research
College Sports May Raise Risk of Depression: Current college athletes are twice as likely to be depressed as former athletes, researchers report. Investigators from Georgetown University examined questionnaires completed by 117 current and 163 former college athletes who had participated in Division I NCAA-sponsored sports. The current athletes played in 10 different sports and the former athletes had played in 15 different sports. Nearly 17 percent of current athletes had questionnaire scores consistent with depression, compared with 8 percent of former athletes, researchers report in the journal Sports Health. Current athletes may be more likely to be depressed because of the effects of overtraining, injury, pressure to perform, lack of free time, or trying to juggle athletics and schoolwork. The additional stress of playing high-level sports appears to add to that stress, according to researchers. (HealthDay News, 4/5/13)

BOSTON, Mass. – Eric Zuk's goal with 12:58 remaining in regulation broke a 4-4 tie and Christopher Rullan made 15 saves, including two in the final 20 seconds as the MIT men's lacrosse team snapped a three-game skid with a 5-4 win over Wentworth Institute of Technology on Wednesday night.
Dan Piemont had three goals, while Zuk added two in the win. John Kucharczyk and Nick Sisler tallied two assists apiece for the Engineers, while Chris Guilherme had two of the Leopards' four tallies.
Guilherme got the Leopards on the board with 2:05 left in the first quarter with a shorthanded marker. The score remained 1-0 in favor of Wentworth until Piemont scored from Kucharczyk with 10:33 left in the half and Zuk tallied his first of the game – also assisted by Kucharczyk – with 5:22 left to give the Engineers a 2-1 lead. Guilherme notched his second of the game with 1:51 left in the half to tie the game at 2-all.
Wentworth took a 3-2 lead on a Greg Ordway goal 2:07 into the second half, but two goals by Piemont – one at 7:13 and the other 38 seconds later – gave MIT a 4-3 lead. Christopher Kipp knotted the score at four with 5:10 left in the third quarter.
Zuk's game-winning goal came after Wentworth had a chance with just under 14:00 left, but Rullan made a huge stop on a Guilherme shot.
Both teams had several opportunities to score as the contest wore on, but neither would find the back of the net. With 46 seconds left, Wentworth gained possession after an Engineer turnover. The Leopards called time out with 33.8 seconds left to set up a play in an effort to tie the game. Rullan made a save on a Guilherme shot with 20 seconds left, but MIT failed to clear as a long pass was intercepted by Wentworth goalie Jeff Bathalon. The Leopards were able to clear the ball as time was winding down, but one last attempt was saved by Rullan at the buzzer.
Bathalon made eight saves and collected seven groundballs, while Tyler Forthofer picked up six groundballs. Mike Swenson won seven of 12 face-offs.
Justin Myers and Rullan both posted five groundballs while Myers added two caused turnovers. Bryan Beller, Elliot Sykora, and Piemont followed with four groundballs apiece.
MIT improves to 5-6 on the season and closes out the regular season on Saturday with a Pilgrim League contest at Springfield College. Wentworth sees its two-game win streak come to an end and finishes the season at 3-10.

WASHINGTON — Gov. Mike Beebe's request for a major disaster declaration for Faulkner County was approved Tuesday by President Obama, according to a White House press release.
WASHINGTON — Gov. Mike Beebe's request for a major disaster declaration for Faulkner County was approved Tuesday by President Obama, according to a White House press release.
Residents and business owners in Faulkner County will be able to seek federal grants and low-interest loans as they recover and rebuild from the deadly weekend tornadoes that struck central Arkansas.
Beebe requested the declaration on Monday. The Arkansas congressional delegation had also supported the designation in letters to Obama and FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate.
"As we see in many crises, Arkansans have come to the aid of their neighbors, family and friends, but further assistance is needed," they wrote.
Fugate has named Timothy J. Scranton as the Federal Coordinating Officer for federal recovery operations in the affected area.
Faulkner County residents and businesses that sustained losses can begin applying for assistance at http://www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-3362. The toll-free number will operate between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.
Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.
Federal funding also is available to state and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for debris removal and emergency work for damage from the severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding in Faulkner County.
Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures statewide.
Damage surveys are continuing in other areas, and more counties and additional forms of assistance may be designated after the assessments are fully completed, according to FEMA.
The tornado that tore through Faulkner County appeared to be at least an EF 3 tornado, with winds between 136 mph and 165 mph. Friday was the third anniversary of a tornado that killed four people in Vilonia and leveled part of the town. That tornado was classified as an EF2.
Beebe has declared Faulkner, Pulaski and White counties state disaster areas.

"It is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time. The dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not all equivalent... We have to find a balance, otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel."
That assessment is from Pope Francis, who "sent shock waves through the Roman Catholic church," writes the New York Times of the Pope's remarks published last week in the Italian Jesuit journal La Civilta Cattolica.
The shock waves came from the Pope's further comments that the church has been "obsessed" with abortion, gay marriage and contraception. He also made clear that he thought the church had, as the Times wrote, "put dogma before love," and had been "prioritizing moral doctrines over serving the poor and marginalized."
For liberal Catholics, the remarks provided a ray of hope. After 35 years under the papacies of Benedict and his predecessor, John Paul II, the church under Pope Francis may embrace a broader public vision.
"There is a big vision, not a big shift," Father Spadaro, who did the interviews with the Pope, told the Times. "His big vision is to see the church in the middle of the persons who need to be healed. It (the church) is in the middle of the world."
In the past six month since Francis, 76, was named Pope, he has used his public visits to emphasize the church's mandate to serve the poor and oppressed, while being silent on abortion, gay rights and contraception — a silence that had been noticed by conservative Catholics and that had started some rumblings within that faction of the church.
But Francis was both adamant about the direction he preferred the church to proceed and eloquent in the defense of his position.
"A person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality," Pope Francis told his interviewer. "I replied with another question: 'Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?' We must always consider the person."
That's practicing Christianity through love, not religious orthodoxy. The change in tone is refreshing and sweet as honeysuckle.

Construction and mining equipment maker Caterpillar Inc. on Wednesday said worldwide dealer machinery sales fell 9 percent for the three months that ended in July.
By segment, sales in resource industry, which is mainly mining, sank by 33 percent from the same year-earlier period. Sales in its construction industries segment were flat.
Prices for mined commodities, such as coal and iron ore, have declined as supply increased and demand from China and other emerging markets slowed.
Caterpillar has said mining companies are increasing productivity in existing mines rather than investing in expansions or new mine openings, which results in lower demand for its...

Remember that cult-hit game Carrier Command from the 80's? Yeah, neither do I. To be fair, I wasn't even born yet. They don't call me the resident baby at Destructoid for nothing! Anyway, if you're not in the know, Bohemia Interactive is working on a reboot of the title called Carrier Command: Gaea Mission that blends third and first-person gameplay with the strategy elements of the seminal title. It was also recently announced that Rising Star Games will be helping Bohemia bring the game to the US on the Xbox 360 and PC in Q3 of this year.
I'm not really that into strategy games, but I truly do like anything where you can blow stuff up. So, I'll be excited for that. Rising Star sent over quite a few new screenshots, and I've added Bohemia's presentation of the game that they gave at E3 this year for your viewing pleasure, so be sure to check those out. Also be sure to read our E3 preview of Gaea Mission from a few weeks ago.

Mercedes actually considering a 4-door SLS? Aston Rapide competitor possibly in the worksWell, this is something we would have never predicted. An SLS turned into a sedan? Really? Well, that is if you believe these patent drawing which sure seem to be authentic and are creating quite a bit of buzz. Mercedes seems to be considering meshing the gullwing doors with a traditional hinged door design for the rear. Mercedes will not confirm or deny the car but we think this would be an awkward and unnecessary step. However, at least they have the guts to try different things though and expand their model lineup every which way it can go. Even areas nobody would have guessed.

I want to ask first before trying to "hack" the makefiles structures, because I recall having installed this library in another local cluster I have access to, and I recall having been able to do it without any problems.
Any hints?
Thanks in advanced!

I'm surprised there's no activity here. This really is an amazing web comic, and it's become quite popular over at some other forums discussions. I really suggest people give this a shot.
Anyways, I thought I'd add the genres:
Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Mystery, Romance, Webtoons

This is the most epic manwha I've read in a long time, period.
It's just so...right. The action is glorious; the comedy's funny; the characters, even if there's like a fifty of them already, are pretty distinctive; and the story's got a lot of mysteries to explain and epic twists just waiting to happen. Win and nothing but win.
Mind, I kind of miss Baam's old outfit. Somehow the dandyish black and red was kinda...princely? Lol.

I don't like its long page format though. I prefer ordinary comics' format. They're easier to read and better to convert into tankoubon format like manga. I hate reading a page that is too long. It's quite cumbersome.

Here's how it works:
As for the history of it I'm no expert to be telling tales. If I am allowed to speculate however I'd say Korea's relatively less developed manwha publishing industry versus Japan's highly developed manga industry means more opportunity for newer, more innovative approaches. Most Japanese authors and readers interact through more established conventional routes because their system is a lot more sophisticated and much larger in scope, able to accommodate authors and readers with diverse niches and demands.
P.S. I think Tower of God is already a "Webtoon" so it won't have to restart all over again.

I must thank Pilly for making this topic and people recently for participating in the discussion. This manwha is bloody awesome. I'm on chapter 8 and I'm already hooked. The only qualm I have at the moment is that each chapter seems too short, but the scrolling format is much more desirable than constantly flipping (though this lacks the awesome double pagers).

Koon, you magnificent bastard! I knew he had plans within plans to counter the Ranker, but whoa.
That said, I'm not counting the Ranker out yet. There's a reason the author ends the cliffhanger here, I fear...
P.S. I actually got a hunch that he is somehow secretly a she for a bit during some of the earlier chapters. I think it's because I thought he was drawn vaguely feminine especially in a scene where he was clipping up his hair [when Baam was unconscious for a while], as well as the part about his mother warning him not to trust anyone. I dismissed that hunch by now though that the art settles down more and he seems perfectly male after all, if a bit of a very pretty salaryman (lol).

lol whut?
I actually think that Team A got it, forcing Team B to have to catch the ranker in order for Baam to proceed to the next stage. Anak will be awarded points since she's the one that escaped, so she can proceed to the next stage as well.
I feel like Baam-Androssi tag-team will be the one to catch the ranker, with Baam utilizing multiple rooms. Ho will try to do something to Lahel, and Baam will once again do something crazy and catch the ranker off guard. At which point, Androssi being Androssi, does the tagging.
Huzzah for pure speculation.

Well anyways, Team B's main handicap is that the group lacks brainpower, aka. anyone intelligent enough like Koon or Leesoo to formulate a plan and lead the team to victory. The only one who might fit the bill is Lahel, but again, we don't know how smart she really is.

Hahaha, Androssi's pretty clever. It's funny how simple but effective her plan was. But it's lucky the Ranker didn't have godly eyesight.

Lol there are a lot good korean webcomics and not only in shounen genre... Try some more and you will see...
Felix it was obvious for readers, because author gives a lot of hints (im curious if you understand full plan after first hint or only after last?)... But its not that easy for his teamplayers... Im pretty sure you would be like them if you would be member of his team...

Epic end to an epic arc. While Team A's round was a "game," a struggle of teamwork and planning (+ just a little bit of Koon's mischief), Team B's is all battlefield and betrayals, even death. Androssi was really the only one in both teams who has the raw power to go toe-to-toe with a (handicapped) Ranker, and she made the most of it.
I kind of want to see the scorers' judgement like in Team A, if only for the "who the hell is that kid" reactions, though with the whole team getting a victory pass...

You know after Evankhell floor test they will create their own team, it will be enough badass moments with probably Baam, Androssi, Laure, Koon and maybe Anak too ;p
Yeaa chapter was epic, but most important and enjoyable moment is Yuri come back ;p

California's egg farmers filed suit Friday in Fresno County Superior Court seeking a determination that Proposition 2 – a law regulating egg-laying hen enclosures - is unconstitutionally vague. The law's lack of clarity in size and density requirements prevents egg farmers from modifying their housing facilities in time to comply with the Jan. 1, 2015, implementation date.
"California's egg farmers have spent the last four years attempting to gain a clear understanding of how to comply with Proposition 2 but, unfortunately, we are no closer today to knowing how to comply than we were when the law first passed in 2008," said Arnie Riebli, president of the Association of California Egg Farmers. "Given the ambiguity in Proposition 2 and the risk of criminal prosecution for violating it, egg farmers have no choice other than to challenge the validity of the law."
ACEF's members support the goal of providing appropriate space to egg laying hens and have worked to establish a national standard for egg laying hen enclosures. Last year, ACEF joined with the Humane Society of United States and the United Egg Producers to support congressional efforts to establish national standards on egg laying hen enclosures, including dimensions and other key elements that are not found in Proposition 2.
"Time has become a major issue for California egg farmers who need to know the size and density requirements for the enclosures they must build now prior to the law's compliance date in 25 months," added Debbie Murdock, Executive Director of ACEF. "The lack of clarity regarding hen enclosure standards has become dire because it will require an investment of more than $400 million from the state's egg farmers and an estimated three years to construct new facilities in California."
Since the passage of Proposition 2 in 2008, ACEF has advocated the use of housing systems that provide 116 square inches of space per hen compared to 67 square inches of space in a conventional cage. But the HSUS – the author of Proposition 2 – says that Proposition 2 requires anywhere from 200 square inches of enclosure space per bird to a cage free environment. However, HSUS has never explained how they reached either interpretation.
"While we know that Proposition 2 does not require California egg farms to be cage-free, the law is very ambiguous and provides no clarity as to what is required to comply with Proposition 2," said Dale Stern, attorney for ACEF. He added, "With the law taking effect in just over two years, egg farmers cannot afford to wait any longer to begin construction on new hen enclosures but their dilemma is making a multi-million dollar investment in new housing systems that could end up being considered illegal.
ACEF says if California egg farmers decide it is easier to relocate to another state to produce eggs rather than risk trying to comply with an uncertain law and be found in violation, a reduction in locally-produced eggs will have many ramifications for California consumers. Not only will egg prices to consumers increase, but jobs will be lost, adding to increased costs to taxpayers for required social services. There will also be more truck traffic on roads to transport eggs from other states, further adding to pollution and impacted roadways.
"Unfortunately, consumers need to realize that the availability of safe, fresh California eggs may no longer exist in the very near future," said ACEF's Riebli. "We filed this lawsuit because without some clarity, many California egg farmers are now being forced to rethink their plans to operate in California in the years ahead."
