Art is subjective, but we think we can objectively say that Massachusetts has the best art in the entire solar system. After all, it's home to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, one of the world's most impressive collections of fine art; Mass MoCA, the country's most fertile site for large scale new art; and the "small but big" Worcester Art and Fitchburg Art Museums. Plus, there's a whole Museum of Bad Art, and one that's free if your name is Isabella. Wake up your soul at the Jacob's Pillow dance festival, catch yourself clapping inappropriately loud for the world famous Boston Symphony Orchestra or banging your head (in a good way) in the birthplace of hardcore punk. And don't leave without experiencing some drama (also in a good way) at one of our amazing theaters, from The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in The Berkshires to Worcester's majestic Hanover Theatre to Boston's storied theater district.

The "invasion" storyline has been used many times. The Poffos entering Jerry Lawler's Mid-South, Jim Cornette's NWA invading WWF, the NWO invading WCW, and the WCW/ECW invasion of the WWF being the first that comes to mind. All of these had mixed results. So when a feud between rival companies Ring of Honor and Combat Zone Wrestling started in early 2006, it remained to be seen if the two companies could succeed where others had failed.
The simple answer is yes.
The feud continues from April 28, 2006 with Weekend of Champions Night One, with ROH's main representatives BJ Whitmer and Adam Pearce teaming with Colt Cabana and Ace Steel against Super Dragon, Necro Butcher, Nate Webb and turncoat Claudio Castagnoli in a brutal anything goes match. Night two has BJ Whitmer taking on Super Dragon and Samoa Joe mocking Castagnoli's Swiss heritage before they lock up.
After pleas from commissioner Jim Cornette and many of the ROH roster, Homicide stepped up to the plate on Ring of Homicide to do battle with CZW. A series of singles matches pop up on the next few DVDs before things come to a head at Chi-Town Struggle with another six-man tag: BJ Whitmer, Adam Pearce and Ace Steel vs. Necro Butcher, Claudio Castagnoli and Nate Webb.
The feud culminates at Death before Dishonor IV on July 15, 2006, which sees the feud return to the hometown of both promotions -- Philadelphia, PA. The atmosphere for the show is intense, as fans of both promotions are very vocal and spar with chants towards each other. Bryan Danielson defends the ROH title against CZW's Sonjay Dutt which really fires up the crowd for the main event -- CZW staple match The Cage of Death. The match, which pits Samoa Joe, Adam Pearce, Bryan Danielson, BJ Whitmer and Ace Steel against Chris Hero, Necro Butcher, Nate Webb, Claudio Castagnoli and Eddie Kingston, is one of the best pieces of storytelling I have ever seen in a professional wrestling match. Mixing a number of different issues between wrestlers with hardcore violence, I just sat in awe at the execution of what effectively was the end of the angle. This is a must-see match and really capped off the feud in a great way.
There was one last thing that needed to be "wrapped up" in the feud, that being the no-ropes barbed wire match between BJ Whitmer and Necro Butcher at War of the Wire II on July 28th. The match is violent and bloody, but really not a must see. I give credit to both men for the violence level and legitimately squeamish moments, but Cage of Death was a better conclusion to the seven-month feud.
Something that really impressed me while watching this batch of ROH DVDs, however, is the fact that instead of focusing solely on the feud with CZW, ROH managed to promote other well thought-out feuds and storylines that held my interest just as much as the CZW feud. The tag matches featuring Generation Next vs. The Briscoe brothers is a reminder of how great tag team wrestling can be. I would go out of my way to check out these matches, especially if you are a fan of old school tag team wrestling, which is blended with some great current spots. Bryan Danielson's title defenses against Nigel McGuinness (Weekend of Champions Night 2) and Colt Cabana (Chi-Town Struggle) are a teaser for matches on other DVD releases to come that really raise both challengers to Danielson's level.
The West Coast's Davey Richards is introduced at Destiny against Jimmy Rave. The two have a couple of fantastic matches in a brief feud. Richards also gets a preview of a future dream match against Samoa Joe in a fatal four way that also includes Jimmy Rave and Delirious at Throwdown and has a great match with AJ Styles at Death Before Dishonor IV. Richards is being groomed to be a major star in ROH, and these performances show why. He's come a long way since his earlier work in ECCW and PWG.
The series also heavily features Pro Wrestling NOAH superstar KENTA as a full time wrestler in ROH. In Your Face from Manhattan sees KENTA face Samoa Joe and ROH Champ Bryan Danielson in a brutally stiff non-title three way match. He battles Roderick Strong in Detroit at Throwdown and Austin Aries at Chi-Town Struggle. The match against Aries is one of my favorites from these DVDs and is really underrated. In a year of great matches it really stands up, but will likely get lost in the shuffle.
Other highlights include then-NWA champion Christian Cage's only ROH appearance to date, teaming with Colt Cabana against Bryan Danielson and Christopher Daniels in a "dream partners" match at How We Roll. The show also features Stampede Wrestling's Apocalypse squaring off against Samoa Joe and more ROH vs. CZW.
Overall, these three months worth of shows really reminded me what it is I like about professional wrestling. Ring of Honor continues to be the little company that can by simply providing great wrestling matches. As my interest in other promotions gets less and less, ROH continues to captivate and keep me rooted to my seat for each show.
What other promotion can claim that?

With a host of rumors circulating on the Web that there is a possibility of nude Tiger Woods photos surfacing, the golf star has hired the law firm of Hollywood pitbull attorney Marty Singer.
Singer's firm sent out a cease-and-desist letter to media outlets demanding they not publish reported nude photos of Woods.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Tiger Woods Scandal: The Players
The letter adds that the demand is not an admission that such photos actually exist. But, if there are any, the letter said, they may have been either doctored or were taken while Woods was sleeping.
In more Woods news, his golfing idol, Jack Nicklaus, still four major tournament victories ahead of Woods for his career, is taking the high road when asked about Woods' so-called "transgressions."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: On The Scene: Tiger Woods' Car Crash (November 27, 2009)
"It's none of my business," Nicklaus told Reuters news agency. "I really don't have a comment at all about it… He's a great athlete and he'll figure it out."
Charles Barkley, who was at Woods' wedding and who has had his own share of troubles, is coming to Woods' defense.
"Man, I just want you to know I love you, you're my friend," Barkley said on TNT's "Inside the NBA." "I know everybody's kicking you right now, but I want you to know you are not alone. "You got friends. I'm not here to condone or trash you but you have friends who are going to be with you through thick and thin. God bless you and Elin and the kids."

Greg Slisz '10 - My presentation, titled Against All Odds: The 1955 Crispus Attucks High School Basketball Team, chronicles the development of Crispus Attucks High School Basketball in the early 1950s and ultimately culminating in consecutive state championships in 1955 and 1956.
In 1955, Crispus Attucks became the first all-black team in the nation to win a state championship in any sport, as well as the first team from Indianapolis to win the state basketball championship. The team had to overcome a great deal of prejudice and the harsh segregation of Indianapolis en route to a state championship in both 1955 and 1956. However, the great success of Crispus Attucks basketball actually served as a catalyst to begin to break down stereotypes and animosity in a racially divided city.
The video looks at these effects and especially focuses on two of the primary characters in Crispus Attucks' state title runs, coach Ray Crowe and future NBA MVP Oscar Robertson. y using interview footage from sources such as former Attucks manager Cliff Robinson, former Attucks basketball player Sam Milton, former Milan High School basketball player Bobby Plump, and Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame curator Roger Dickinson, the movie reflects on the attitudes and thoughts of the time.
Authentic pictures, newspaper clippings, and Crispus Attucks yearbook pictures help to take the audience back to a time when high school basketball was the main attraction in Indiana, and Crispus Attucks basketball was the talk of the town.
Against All Odds serves as a testament to Crispus Attucks basketball's amazing accomplishments: In 1955 they became the first all-black team in the nation to win a high school state championship and the first team from Indianapolis to win a Indiana basketball championship, and then in 1956 they became the first team in Indiana high school basketball history to finish undefeated.

Forms Jobs
When someone mentions the Fire Department, most people think about large, red, shiny trucks with lights and loud sirens. They envision heroes dressed in heavy protective clothing, who always seem to "run into the building while everyone else is running out." The role of the Fire Prevention Bureau, although less visible on a daily basis, is no less important when compared to the mission of the suppression forces in the fire stations. Let us stop to meet the people assigned to this division and learn about the functions which they perform.
The Fire Prevention Bureau is staffed by ten Fire Investigators, three Fire Inspectors, one Deputy Fire Marshal and one Fire Marshal. Meet our staff and review our backgrounds. The responsibilities of our Bureau are divided into three areas:
The Fire Prevention Bureau represents the Fire Department in Operation Impact, the city initiative designed to address code violations and problem areas citywide.
Fire Protection System Impairments
In the event a required fire protection system must be taken out of service for repairs, maintenance, or another reason, a representative of your company must submit an Impairment Request to the Fire Prevention Bureau. A fire investigator will review the request and notify you if and when it is approved along with any requirements to be satisfied. The Impairment Request should be placed on company letterhead and indicate the following:
The impairment request can be sent by e-mail to email@example.com.
Electronic Plan Review
Contractors may submit revised construction plans electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com. Sub-contractors may submit fire protection plans, such as fire alarm, sprinkler/standpipe, automatic extinguishing systems for hoods and spray booths and tank installation plans electronically to: email@example.com. Details may be found in our Submittal Requirements section. Once all required materials have been compiled, send them by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
For additional information concerning the Fire Prevention Bureau, contact Robert Owens at 336-773-7971 or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Programs by Campus
India Studies
College of Arts and Sciences
Departmental E-mail: india [at] indiana [dot] edu
Departmental URL: www.indiana.edu/~isp
Program Information
Modern India has more than a billion citizens, nearly 16 percent of the world's population. India today is a reflection of millennia of interaction and exchange across a wide spectrum of cultures and civilizations. Critical contemporary intellectual, political, and social issues—including security, social equality, economic and political development, and the role of historical relationships—are all being debated in India, and how these issues are addressed is of vital interest to the world community. The India Studies Program at Indiana University provides for the interdisciplinary study and critical analysis of the Indian subcontinent and its peoples from ancient times to the present.
The primary focus of the India Studies Program is on modern India. Yet in order to understand present-day India, it is important to have basic knowledge of the great periods in its history that have shaped modern India. This approach requires a sophisticated understanding of the country's highly developed arts, music, literature, drama, philosophy, religions, and social and political structures. In addition to providing an overall, comprehensive education about Indian civilizations, the program allows for more specialized work in (a) literary and performance studies, (b) philosophical and religious studies, and (c) social, political, and historical studies. The India Studies Program also offers beginning- and intermediate-level courses in several Indian languages. All students in the program are encouraged to take language classes, as well as to consider study abroad in India.
Ph.D. Minor in India Studies
Requirements: 12 credit hours, including the core, plus advanced work in one of the three disciplinary groups of the program (excluding language courses). Specific courses as well as language requirements (if any) should be chosen in consultation with the director of India Studies. Ordinarily, only 3 credits from the student's major program may be counted toward the Ph.D. minor.
Cooperative Programs
Students in the Ph.D. minor in India Studies are encouraged to take advantage of programs in India Studies and South Asian Studies at participating institutions in the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC). Excellent work in the social sciences is available through the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin—Madison.


text: Every manufacturer's web site will list authorized dealers. Some big on line retailers are not authorized dealers for some of the brands they carry. They get their camera either from the gray market or through a third party that is an authorized dealer. For example some large computer and electronics retailers sell Nikon cameras. They are not an authorized Nikon USA Dealers. They ship your Nikon from another third party authorized dealer. You still have a Nikon USA warranty but you will go through a little inconvenience (better known as hell) to get it serviced correctly. This is one reason why you should buy cameras from retailers who specialize in cameras. I don't go to camera stores to buy computers so why would I go to a computer store to buy a camera? Why is all of this important? Warranty work. If your camera turns out to be a gray market camera, sold by a US dealer but bought and shipped from say Hong Kong, you do not have a USA warranty. Nikon uses serial number coding for every country. All US authorized cameras, lenses and accessories can be identified as U.S. versions by the serial number. If you buy from other than a USA authorized dealer you do not have a USA warranty and you cannot get warranty service in the US. Can you send the camera back to Hong Kong or Japan? Sure you can and they will charge you for the repairs because you don't have a warranty there either. Before you buy any camera on line make sure that whoever is selling it is an authorized USA (or pick your country) dealer. Don't take their word for it, check the manufacturers list of authorized dealers because believe it or not there are some dishonest on line retailers who may not tell you the truth. So be carefull, do your homework and if the price seems too good to be true it probably is.

12 Items
Technology continually evolves, especially when it comes to household items. When TVs were first invented, they displayed pictures in black and white and offered only several channels. Today, many TVs feature Wi-Fi connectivity and can operate similarly to a computer. They can display high-quality audio and video, stream movies, play games, and allow you to surf the Web.
If you have a high-definition TV set in your household, then you probably use the HDMI port to connect your devices – like video game systems, Blu-ray players, and laptops – to view shows and images in the best picture quality possible. Most likely, you use HDMI specification 1.4 for this purpose.
If you're still using HDMI 1.4, you're in need of an upgrade. HDMI 2.0 is now available to enhance the video and audio experience for in-home consumer use. If you have a home theater or simply want to experience the best quality of video and audio when playing TV shows and movies, then HDMI 2.0 can offer the ultimate viewing and listening experience. You'll feel like you're in a movie theater, except you won't have to pay $10 for popcorn.
When comparing HDMI 1.4 to 2.0, you'll notice various changes – but, for the better. With specification 1.4, you could expect to get 4,096 x 2,160 pixel resolution at a rate of up to 24 frames per second. But, with TVs getting more and more advanced, the HDMI world had trouble keeping up.
For example, you may now see Ultra HD 4K TVs everywhere. These TVs have higher resolutions and frame rates than TVs that were manufactured just several years ago. In an effort to keep up with the times, HDMI 2.0 was born.
One of the big features that sets HDMI 2.0 apart from earlier versions is that it allows you to transmit high dynamic range (HDR) video. Why is this important? Because, with standard TVs, the contrast – the difference between the brightness and darkness – is very narrow and the details are quite limited.
HDR fixes this by enhancing the signal and widening the contrast so you get more colors. As a result, you're able to see more details, especially in sunny and darker shots. You are better able to see very dark and very bright objects together on the same screen without major issues.
You can also view 4K resolutions (2160 pixels) at up to 60 frames per second. This clarity is four times greater than HDMI 1.4's rate of 1080 pixels at 60 frames per second. This allows you to view the highest resolution possible on your Ultra 4K TVs and 3D TVs. HDMI 2.0 also supports 4K at 24, 25, 30, and 50 frames per second, in 8, 10, 12, and 16-bit color modes.
What does this mean in terms of color? You'll get as many as 16.7 million colors in 8-bit mode. In 12-bit mode, expect a whopping 68.7 billion colors. These rates – known as deep color – make going from HDMI 1.4 to 2.0 a data-heavy task.
Even if you don't have a 3D TV, you can still benefit from higher frame rates on 2D content such as certain video games (like those played on a PC) and home movies. However, since most movies are shot at 24 frames per second, you won't see much difference – if any – when viewing this type of content.
The same holds true if you're a hardcore gamer. Most video gaming systems – even PlayStation 4 and Xbox One – will unlikely be able to deliver their games in 4K mode. Even a gaming PC won't be able to keep up, so switching to HDMI 2.0 won't improve your gaming experience at all.
Another key feature is the increased bandwidth. HDMI 2.0 increases bandwidth up to 18 Gbps. Data is displayed from the source to the TV at higher speeds. This allows high-resolution TVs to display higher frame rates as well as increased resolution for data coming from lower-resolution sources. With dual video streams, HDMI 2.0 allows you to display two HD shows or games on the same screen at the same time. Do you want to watch a movie, while your husband wants to play video games? You can do both, and get high-quality resolution.
If your focus is not only on video quality but the sound as well, you'll love what HDMI 2.0 has to offer. With as many as 32 multi-dimensional audio channels, you can truly immerse yourself in the sound. You get four times as many digital audio channels compared to the 1.4 version, which offers only eight channels. As a result, you'll get a "3-D" quality to every sound on your TV shows or movies, like being in a theater.
Speaking of audio, you'll get the highest fidelity possible. If you want clear sound without distortion and other noises that distract from the listening experience, HDMI 2.0 offers 1536 kHz audio sample frequency.
The HDMI 2.0 upgrade means a better Consumer Electronics Control. Through HDMI, a device can send signals to another – like what a remote control does. You can control up to 15 devices without having to purchase a universal remote. However, the manufacturers of devices you're going to control need to put this standard in place in order for it to work. Many people aren't aware of this capability, and it's useless if your TV or Blu-ray player doesn't support it.
Many HDMI users put off upgrading because they don't want to have to change out the cables. The good news is that if you upgrade from HDMI 1.4 to 2.0, there's no need for new cables. That's because 2.0 simply changes out the hardware and nothing more. The cables are not affected at all, so even though you may see 4K HDMI cables advertised everywhere, don't feel pressured to purchase them.
In fact, according to HDMI.org, "HDMI 2.0b does not define new cables or new connectors. Current High-Speed cables (Category 2 cables) are capable of carrying the increased bandwidth." So, if you were worried about having to change out the cables or connectors, worry no more. With HDMI 2.0, you can upgrade with ease.
However, that's not to say that nobody will have issues. There are always exceptions to the rule. If you notice issues with the picture quality, it's possible that the cable could be to blame. If that's the case, you may want to upgrade to an HDMI 2.0 cable – but spend your money wisely. You'll see cables available at various prices. What's the difference between a $20 cable and one that sells for $100? Nothing. You won't get better picture quality by spending five times as much for the same exact thing, so don't be fooled.
When upgrading to HDMI 2.0, you may experience some issues with video streaming. With more frames per second, you'll have to download more data. While that won't be a problem as far as HDMI is concerned, it may wreak havoc on your Internet connection – even if you have broadband or DSL. So, there may be some concerns as to whether or not your connection can keep up with the pace.
In addition, HDMI 2.0 is backward compatible with earlier HDMI versions. However, if you've never had HDMI set up in your home, you can't simply start with the latest and greatest version. HDMI 2.0 is built upon earlier versions, so you'll need to start out with some version – likely 1.4 – before upgrading.
The jury's still out on how you will be able to upgrade to HDMI 2.0. According to Sony, its Ultra HD TVs can be upgraded through a download that upgrades the firmware. However, that method is not universal. Each manufacturer has a different method for obtaining the upgrade.
There are no provisions in place but expect to upgrade either your hardware or firmware or, potentially, both. With so many new and enhanced features in place, it will be a major conversion. This is especially true since bandwidth and other specifications are based on the chips inside the HDMI hardware, and those chips can only do so much before upgrades are needed in order to enhance performance.
Newer models may already have HDMI 2.0 in place, while older models may require additional hardware or other workarounds in order to get you up and running. In any case, check with the manufacturer of your TV to see what needs to be done to make sure your device is compatible with HDMI 2.0. If you use a DVD or Blu-ray player with your TV, you'll want to make sure it's current as well, so you can take advantage of all the features the HDMI upgrade will offer.
In the second quarter of 2017, HDMI 2.1 will be released to those who currently use HDMI 2.0. HDMI 2.1 offers many advanced features, such as higher refresh rates and video resolutions – ideal for fast-action movie scenes and video games. You'll also get Dynamic HDR, which ensures that every frame offers detail, color, depth, brightness, and contrast at ideal levels.
Since HDMI 2.0 doesn't offer a lot for gamers, the 2.1 version is making up for that with a feature called Game Mode VRR. This feature offers a variable refresh rate, which means better gameplay. A 3D graphics processor eliminates stutters, lags, and other frame issues that can impact the video game experience.
As with the HDMI 2.0, the 2.1 version is also backward compatible with older versions. However, a new cable will be required if you choose to display high video resolutions, such as 4K at 120 frames per second or 8K at 60 frames per second. The 48G cable is recommended due to the higher bandwidth required.
Again, the ability to upgrade and the procedure for upgrading will be dependent on the manufacturer. If you have concerns, contact the manufacturer of your TV.
If you're a casual TV watcher, an HDMI upgrade will be no big deal to you. But if you live and breathe viewing the latest TV shows and movies on your Ultra 4K TV connected to your state-of-the-art home theater surround sound system, then you'll definitely want to upgrade to HDMI 2.0 as soon as it becomes available. The enhanced features will offer an experience that will make you feel like you're part of the movie or show.
As consumers, we tend to push our devices to their limits, and home entertainment systems are no exception. If you've ever wanted to take advantage of everything that technology has to offer in a consumer's home environment, HDMI allows you to do that. From enhanced audio and video to dual streams and more colors, your high-tech home will be squeezing everything it can out of your Internet connection.
With the introduction of HDMI 2.0 in late 2013, bandwidth capabilities increased while hardware compatibility remained. Let's take a look at some of the key differences between HDMI 2.0 and 1.4 and discuss how 2.0 can offer a superior viewing experience.
Compare 18Gbps of data transfer in the new HDMI 2.0 system with the 10.2Gbps level of the HDMI 1.4 system. HDMI 2.0 and 4K (the standard measure of data transfer used to gauge performance), and it becomes clear that the HDMI 2.0 is the better option. While HDMI 1.4 was introduced to handle 4K of video, HDMI 2.0 delivers a whopping 50 to 60 frames compared to 24 from HDMI 1.4.
It is not just the 4K frames per second speed that is different between the two either, the pixel quality is another factor in the overall quality of your viewing experience. The term 12-bit color is a measure of the amount of information that goes into the pixel, thus impacting visual quality. The color specificity is a mind boggling 68.7 billion of possible color combinations! Compare that figure with the 8-bit color resolution available through HDMI 1.4 at 16.7 million; the difference is staggering.
If you are looking for top-quality in the picture quality of your home theatre, there is no question that HDMI 2.0 delivers over its 1.4 counterpart. Frames per second and higher bit-color will make a world of difference in the quality of your experience whether watching a film, gaming or checking out sports or other live-action events. Once you see the remarkable difference between the two, it may not be possible to go back to HDMI 1.4!
If you are an avid gamer, television, film or sports enthusiast, you should be watching in HDMI 2.0! Really anyone who wants their TV, devices, or home theater to deliver the highest visual and audio quality needs to look into HDMI 2.0. Below we will look at the three main benefits to having HDMI 2.0:
HDMI 2.0 delivers these three features along with plenty more, and if you are an entertainment enthusiast it is time to look into getting HDMI 2.0 TVs and devices. We carry everything that you need to upgrade to an HDMI 2.0 experience and our experts are here to answer any questions that you may have. Give us a call on (704) 979-7100 or feel free to hit us up on the handy chat feature located at the bottom left of this page.
The differences that viewers will notice while watching programming on compatible televisions and other devices will be most noticeable in the picture quality and color definition. All of these enhancements can be found on HDMI 2.0 compatible devices. HDMI 2.0 has a faster transfer of frames per second which creates a visual clarity that is well beyond what was achievable with HDMI 1.4. This clarity is especially apparent in gaming and in programming where Ultra HD 4K is implemented. As more television programming is shot in this manner, the visual enhancements of HDMI 2.0 will become more impactful. Viewers who enjoy the crisp look of Ultra HD will likely also appreciate the wide angle 21:9 video aspect.
With the higher production values that are being used in producing today's television program, new equipment needed to be utilized to transfer the higher bandwidth for this enhanced visual quality. This technology also allows for lower resolution levels which will let you watch two full programs side by side. This technology has been embraced by both Samsung and LG and it will be interesting to watch this technology take hold.
Blu-ray players have chips that create a full HDMI 2.0 experience with their ability to handle the transfers from the receiver to your television. If you are a Blu-ray user make sure that you have all of the necessary gear needed to experience a full HDMI 2.0 viewing experience. Blu-ray continues to be an early adopter in this space. HDMI 2.0 offers high picture resolution, side-by-side viewing and a 21:9 theatre-style visual aspect ratio. All of these features will take your viewing to the next level. Take a look at our available HDMI 2.0 compatible devices to learn more.

|System: Xbox 360, PS3, PC
|Dev: BioWare
|Pub: Electronic Arts
|Release: March 8, 2011
|Players: 1
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
The problem with Dragon Age 2 isn't that it's a bad game. It's that just about everything (besides combat) that has changed from the original has changed for the worse. I was excited about the new style of storytelling, but it falls flat. I don't think that's Bioware's fault. I think they just took a risk on something that sounded good on paper, but didn't quite pan out in reality.
Some problems from Origins have persisted in this game as well. Most notably, the level design is exceedingly poor. Nearly every level consists of narrow pathways that allow for positively zero exploration or player agency. The environments aren't very good looking to begin with, so there's not a whole lot of incentive to explore anyway. This problem becomes worse when the storytellers don't take the time to actually explain where things are. The next leg of a quest is rarely explained to you and now just appears as a blip on the mini-map. This leads to huge swaths of the game being essentially played not with high-res modern graphics, but by watching a few blips go across a 2D mini-map until the cutscene triggers. This, again, is consistent with a game that simply wasn't taken slowly and carefully.
Thus far, this review has been pretty much a laundry list of complaints, and perhaps that's misleading. Dragon Age 2 has a lot of problems, and many of them are new to the series which makes them worth talking about in a review. However, the game is still based on one of the best fantasy RPG structures ever built. Even a huge list of complaints can't drag it down too far. No matter what happens, it's still fun to fight darkspawn, converse with fun characters, try to seduce your party members, and do all of the other great things that Bioware games have brought us.
There are even a couple areas in which the game feels better than the original. The controls, for instance, feel much more natural on a controller this time around. Whereas Dragon Age: Origins felt shoe-horned onto consoles, this game definitely feels as though it was designed from the ground up for consoles. The other improved area is that graphics. It's not a big improvement, but the new style lent a refreshingly new feel to the series. Bioware continues to show us new fantasy style that we've never seen before.
This is a solid game, but it's a step backward for Dragon Age and Bioware alike. The question we all need to ask ourselves is whether we'd rather Bioware spend years (seven, by some accounts) working on an epic like Dragon Age: Origins, or if we'd rather they pump out markedly more flawed editions every eighteen to twenty-four months. I really don't know the answer.

All of the final numbers aren't in for the year, but Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson said Wednesday that crime was generally down in the county for 2012.
"I think the year was rather benign," he said. "We are very fortunate to be living where we are."
The number of crimes committed in the county are generally down in all areas except for the area of crime against property, which include thefts and burglaries.
Another area that saw a large increase was in the area of fatal traffic accidents, but Thompson said those were not crime-related, but rather most of them were the result of not wearing seat belts or the use of alcohol.
Thompson said the lower crime rate can be seen in the Bureau County Jail population, which is down compared to years past. Thompson said the average jail population had been about 26 or 27 inmates. This year the average population was only 20 inmates.
Ironically, Thompson said the poor economy deserves part of the credit for the lower crime rate. People don't have the money to socialize, and they're not spending money, which would make them attractive targets for crime.
Credit for the lower crime rate also belongs to area law enforcement officers.
"They're trying very hard to keep us safe," Thompson said.
But while crime numbers are generally down, Thompson said law enforcement is not making enough of an impact on reducing drug usage or overdoses.
Thompson said the problem on the street is with heroin and other potentially fatal drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamines.
"We have to find another means to fight," he said.
Thompson said most heroin is not made in the United States, so it is partially a port of entry problem. There's not a lot local residents can do about that other than to lobby for tighter inspections on imports.
There has been an impact on methamphetamines on the state and federal levels.
Thompson said Illinois legislators passed laws to make it more difficult to get the components. Today, if someone buys 500 antihistamine tablets — a key component in the manufacture of methamphetamine, the sheriff's department is notified. Officers can investigate the purchase and make an arrest if necessary.
However, again much of the problem begins out of the country, in part due to Mexican cartels.
Thompson said it's not illegal in Mexico to buy that quantity of antihistamines, so the cartels produce the drug in Mexico and ship to the United States in covered containers.
In addition, the drug manufacturers have created a new way to entice buyers by coloring the methamphetamine pink or blue, and adding a name that makes it more appealing to buyers.
Thompson said the local manufacture of methamphetamines isn't as prevalent as it's been in the past, but it's still going on. He said he is still concerned to see the anhydrous ammonia — another key component in the manufacture of methamphetamine — tanks sitting unguarded in area fields. Despite the locks on the tanks, he said drug makers are still finding a way to steal it.
Another problem with dealing with drugs such as heroin, cocaine and methamphetamines is difficult because of the smallness of the county. Law enforcement officials might be aware drugs are being dealt, but it's hard to infiltrate the market because the dealers know who the law enforcement agents are.
Looking ahead to the coming year, Thompson said he's expecting crime to increase in the area of personal property crimes such as thefts and burglaries.
"People who can't, or don't want to survive, are doing it by taking from those of us who have things," he said.

You do not have Changes (1969) on your list of releases, but it is in your trailer profile on "The Statue" which I purchased. How do I go about ordering this title?
Keep these missed and forgotton titles coming as "Puppet On A Chain", "Willard", "Ben", "W", "ThePyx" and "Arnold". A lot of Cinerama Releasing titles are still unavailable but I am patient and sure Code Red DVD will finally get them released.

Eat Dirt
We know you don't need convincing about the joys of farmers markets. But who knew that ingesting microscopic critters residing in our soil might be one more reason to befriend your local farmer?
Yesterday, a New York Times op-ed opined about the potential benefits that farmers market produce has on our immune system. The author suggests that ingesting microorganisms can boost our natural defense against allergens and some chronic diseases. In our increasingly-sanitized world we have fewer and fewer opportunities to chow down on microbes that help our bodies build up resistance. The solution? Get down and dirty at your farmers market.
And speaking of superbugs, some aren't so super. Antibiotics have come a long way since being introduced as a miracle cure in 1944 and Robert Kenner's 90-second video wants you to just say "no" to meat on drugs.

Tastes of Home in a Faraway Land
Alaha Ahrar
"Mrs. Nirschel's goal in having this winter break program is to create solidarity and friendship among the members of the IEAW so that when we go back to Afghanistan we will know that we are not alone."
I am a sophomore at Mary Washington University in Virginia, so, this was the second year that I participated in a very special Intersession [winter break] Program. Mrs. Paula Nirschel, founder of the Initiative to Educate Afghan Women (IEAW), rented three houses near the beach in Emerald Isle, North Carolina, for Afghan female students and one house for IEAW staff, who are also women. The other Afghan students and I cooked different types of traditional Afghan food and played all those games which are appropriate for Afghan women in our culture. Ginger, one of the staff, taught us how to do yoga again this year. She loves Rumi, the greatest poet of Afghanistan, and always ends our classes with reciting a poem from Rumi. Ginger is a real supporter of the IEAW students; therefore, all the IEAW students, especially Alaha, love her and Paula very much.
Mrs. Nirschel's goal in having this winter break program is to create solidarity and friendship among the members of the IEAW so that when we go back to Afghanistan we will know that we are not alone. As an Afghan student of the program I cherish the work of Mrs. Nirschel.
Over the past three decades of Afghanistan's civil war, thousands of women died, many of them lost limbs to land mines, and almost every family lost their dear ones. The lack of security made women's rights movements decline. Problems have emerged in every aspect of women's lives. All these problems demoted women to the lowest position in the society. The lack of security made Afghan men sensitive and critical of their female family members' movements; in order to protect their female family member's reputation, some Afghan men avoided sending their daughters and sisters to school. This decision of families led to a very severe decline of educated women and that created serious problems.
For example, based on Afghanistan's rich culture, Afghans need female doctors, teachers, journalists, lawyers, and policewomen because most Afghan families do not allow men to cure, teach, or talk to their female family members. Afghan women were seeking help from other women.
In such a sensitive situation, the Initiative to Educate Afghan Women (http://www.ieaw.org/), founded by Mrs. Paula Nirschel in 2002, emerged to answer our need. The IEAW, with the consideration and understanding of Afghan cultural values and beliefs, decided to educate Afghan women. Every year Mrs. Nirschel takes a group of Afghan women from Kabul and sends them to different universities in the United States. To assure that Afghan women do not forget their own norms, values, and the rich Afghan culture, she gathers together all Afghan female students from all over the USA every winter break. This program is just for Afghan women, so all of us feel good and safe to talk and exchange ideas and experiences with each other. After a semester filled with studies, tests, and deadlines, it is wonderful to relax together and speak our own language.

text: In its previous life—which ended last year after 63 years—Lutz Tavern (4639 SE Woodstock Blvd., 774-0353) was known nationally as the bar where hipsters discovered Pabst Blue Ribbon. It was a true dive, but one with outsize influence among bike messengers and other curators of cool. The revived Lutz, which was reopened two weeks ago by Clinton Street Pub owners Jayson Criswell and Robert Kowalski, retains the old look and clientele: The lineup at the bar on a recent Friday was plaid, fleece, tweed, plaid, plaid, plaid and tweed. The PBR is still there, $2 per tallboy, along with four other macros, but the new regime has made a few important changes: Lutz now has liquor, eight taps of good Northwest micros, and a real kitchen that makes a kick-ass burger. It comes with shoestring fries and, for an extra $2, house-cured bacon.

The price of corn fell to its lowest level in nearly 3 1/2 years ahead of a government report that could show supplies are abundant following a bumper crop in the U.S.
U.S. farmers had a record harvest last year and the Department of Agriculture will release its latest estimate of crop supply and demand on Friday. Forecasts for a strong harvest in Brazil are also weighing on prices.
Corn for March delivery fell 5 cents, or 1.2 percent, to $4.12 a bushel, its lowest price since August 2010. The price is down 2.4 percent this year, after slumping almost 40 percent in 2013.
Wheat for March delivery fell 4.5 cents, or 0.8 percent, to $5.84 a bushel. Soybeans for the same month rose 4.5 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $12.74.
Metals were mixed.
Gold for February rose $3.90, or 0.3 percent, to $1,229.40 an ounce. March silver rose 14.4 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $19.68 an ounce. Platinum for April also rose, climbing $5.70, or 0.4 percent, to $1,419.90 an ounce.
Copper for March delivery fell 4.35 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $3.30 per pound. Palladium for March dropped $1.80, or 0.2 percent, to $736.50 a pound.
The price of oil edged lower.
Benchmark U.S. oil for February delivery fell 67 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $91.66 a barrel in New York. Oil prices have fallen 6 percent this year on signs that the U.S. has ample supplies.
In other energy futures trading, wholesale gasoline fell 1.37 cents at $2.64 a gallon. Natural gas fell 21 cents to $4 per 1,000 cubic feet. Heating oil dropped 2.8 cents to $2.92 a gallon.

With the new international focus on stricter emissions testing, the market for combustion engine test cells has flourished. As a result, there is a need for more advanced technology to perform the necessary tests. Traditional test methods have remained relatively stable for decades. However, instrumentation has advanced considerably in recent years. NI delivers modern exhaust emissions test cells that use the most advanced test methods to ensure engineers get what they need: real-time results based on accurate data. The CompactRIO Test Cell Control and Monitoring System helps customers achieve those goals. NI software and VeriStand test system configuration help customers get up and running faster. You can connect sensors and tune parameters to start controlling loads immediately. The number of control loops can just as easily be expanded to meet more complex application needs.
Wineman Technology uses VeriStand and the INERTIA add-on to develop and deploy hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests to meet the Ford Motor Company's specific application.
Test cells combine industrial machinery with precision control and laboratory-quality measurements to replicate real-world environments for vehicles.
VeriStand helps you create real-time test applications more efficiently with ready-to-use functionality as well as custom functionality with LabVIEW.

IF YOU ARE not overly familiar with the repertoire of a Leonard Cohen concert, it's hard to tell the new songs from the old. Songs from a different age sound neither anachronistic nor nostalgic, while the new echo as though they have been around forever. It's the same show night after night, with songs from the latest album, Old Ideas (released in 2012), woven into the familiar canon. Cohen tells audiences that his revivalist tour might end in two years, so that he can start smoking again by the time he turns 80.
It is a joke you know Cohen has cracked a hundred times, the kind that makes my brother call him the Jewish Dean Martin. The humor is one part of a precise choreography, whose arrangements shift from blues to waltzes to New Orleans jazz, Celtic, gospel, country, and disco, all set in the mode of Hebrew Minor and conspiring to create a vivid world that does not exist, except in paradox. Honey is the texture that comes to mind. Viscous and turbid, neither solid nor liquid. Sensual relief from the coarse, metallic world. And sweet. Sweet in the meaning of the verse from the Persian song "Navaee"—"High sweet melody, and sadness of love, dwelling in the bottom of the heart, where nobody sees"—the mixing of sorrow and transcendence into sublime paradox.
He is and has been many things to his devotees: poet, singer, writer, band leader, lover, satirist, artist, and novelist. But one thing Leonard Cohen is not is a preacher.

Finance barrier leaves small builders struggling to deliver enough new homes
The government's aim to build more homes by providing more support for small to medium-sized builders is faltering as it's revealed finance barriers are making it hard for smaller builders to deliver the number of homes required. According to a survey from the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), 54% of small builders are struggling to secure finance, which is hindering their ability to build new homes. A further 62% say that a lack of available or suitable sites is a real issue in their ability to deliver new homes. During the Financial Crisis, the number …

How to care for avaire once installed
Author: DAWN ROBINS
Date: 2/18/2008 6:45 pm EDT
We are interested in re-doing the kitchen, dining room and entry with your product. I have read so much and am convinced this is what I would like to have installed. However, once it has been installed, how is it to be cared for, regarding cleaning etc.. Also, how will would it stand up to the entry area of the home considering the amount of traffic that would be coming in and out there?
Please let me know when you are able.
Thank you.

Thank you for your interest in Avaire!
An Avaire floor can be cleaned with the same typical household cleaners you would use on a more traditional porcelain tile floor. Because Avaire uses a quality glazed porcelain tile, even a damp mop will handle most routine cleaning.
Avaire should perform well in your entry-way. You'll want to let the Avaire Flexible Grout cure for at least three days before you expose the area to much mositure/dirt/grim. Since entryways can track in alot of moisture and dirt, I would definitely recommend finishing the perimeter (between the tile and the wall/doorway) with a quality caulk. As with any tile (or any flooring product frankly), the surface finish will last longer if gritty materials like sand and gravel are cleaned off promptly.
Good luck with your Avaire floor! Please send us pictures when its finished!

We love seeing new furniture ideas that implement used, discarded, eco-friendly and recycled materials, but it's not often that we find a chair that uses zero materials in construction. The OOoo Chair is an innovative concept that presses us to consider all of the energy and material waste issues associated with furniture production and disposal, but with a bit of amusement. So what do you have to do to get your hands on one of these chairs? Cut two leg-wide holes ergonomically apart, line them with recycled plastic, and you've just made your own OOoo Chair!
The furniture sector consumes 64 trillion BTUs of energy annually in the United States alone (equal to the power consumption of all of New York City over 6 weeks!), leaving a significant carbon footprint on our planet. The OOoo Chair, the brainchild of designers Martina Decker and Peter Yeadon, "intends to provoke a change in our behavior, and our way of thinking about furniture, through an elegant economy of means." Opportunities to integrate furniture directly into architecture are typically overlooked, where these integral pieces are treated only as an afterthought to the primary design. But by embedding seating, directly into the structure, one can significantly reduce the energy and material that is used to make it, as well as the residual waste that occurs when a piece reaches the end of its useful life.
While we don't suggest you drill holes into your apartment floor just yet, this concept can definitely find practicality and positive reception in public spaces such as restaurants, museums, or open pavilions. The OOoo Chair can become a compliment to any space, never offering more or less than what is actually needed.

I really hate Coach & Tyson. Brendan is part of the Jury... Coach & Tyson have no chance of winning if they get into the final 3...
Why's everyone choosing to follow Coach and Tyson? Perhaps they're too detestable that they're kept around to be trounced in the finale. But I'm really hoping that Sierra manages to do something, get people like Erinn together and blindside Coach and Tyson. There's some hope I believe, seeing that Jeff mentioned in his blog about a record number of blindsides. There've only been a few so far, let the rest be that of Coach and Tyson!Coach and Tyson'd better not win this.

The Path to Prominence: A Strategic Conversation
We stand at a critical milestone in the history of the University of Delaware. With roots reaching back to 1743, we now are a community of 16,000 undergraduates, 3,500 graduate students, 1,200 faculty, and 135,000 alumni, who excel in diverse fields and hail from all corners of the world.
Today, we are setting out on a new path designed to engage closely with the critical issues of our day, to increase the global impact of the University, and to raise its prominence in the world. This strategic plan, which charts our "Path to Prominence," is part of a continuing University conversation.
Our dialogue has taken place in hundreds of meetings and communications across the campus, as well as with the broader alumni and Delaware community. Across the community, there is enormous enthusiasm for the University's current strengths and future potential.
This is just the beginning. As the planning and implementation process now rolls out across the University at the college, school, and unit level, this dialogue will guide our steps, offering fresh ideas and approaches. While on our path, our destination remains constant: to fulfill the mission of the University and to be recognized around the world as one of the great public institutions of higher education in America.
In pursuing this path, we carry the aspirations and dreams of generations of builders and graduates of the University of Delaware. This is our legacy. We invite you to join with us in pursuing this Path to Prominence. In the words of the Blue Hen's fight song, "Let Delaware shine."
Patrick T. Harker
President, University of Delaware
