Yes' 'Going for the One' Turns 35
On Yes' eighth studio album, 'Going for the One,' progressive-rock's figurehead act were undeniably in a transitional state, both sonically and physically.
Originally released on July 22, 1977, just as punk-rock was reaching its critical and commercial apex (and just as prog itself was starting to vanish into the 'dinosaur' dust bins), 'Going for the One' wasn't a likely candidate for a hit album, and the departure of keyboard virtuoso Patrick Moraz (who added his jazz-fusion touch to Yes' prior album, 'Relayer') only made prospects even bleaker.
But the return of keyboard whiz Rick Wakeman in 1976 signaled a creative re-invigoration, helping Yes re-emerge with one of the finest albums in their rich catalog — and one of progressive rock's most overlooked treasures.
In September 1976, the quintet of Wakeman, vocalist Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, and drummer Alan White relocated to Montreux, Switzerland, recording at Mountain Studios (a prior recording spot for The Rolling Stones' 'Black and Blue' and home to future sessions for the likes of Iggy Pop, David Bowie, and Queen). The majestic beauty of the surrounding Swiss Alps must have lightened the mood considerably (White and Anderson made the most of their luxurious setting with early morning ski trips), but there was also a deeper creative spirit running through the sessions. Earlier in the year, when band manager Brian Lane had played Wakeman two Anderson cassette demos (for 'Wondrous Stories' and 'Going for the One'), the keyboardist remarked that Yes 'were writing songs again.'
Wakeman's exit from Yes — following 1973′s critically reviled 'Tales from Topographic Oceans' — wasn't particularly amiable: The keyboardist had attacked Yes in the British press in regards to their bloated studio indulgence — and on one infamous tour incident, he actually ordered a delivery curry meal on-stage from behind his wall of keyboards, eating the food in protest of his bandmates' noodly (no pun intended) racket. But in '76, Wakeman found himself inspired by Yes' more focused, song-like direction, striking up a particularly fruitful rapport with Anderson, whose reliably cosmic lyrics and belted, atmospheric vocals remained at the forefront of the group's new material.
Indeed, 'Going for the One' finds Yes striking a wonderful balance between the old and the new, retaining their adventurous, highly technical spirit but infusing it with a more clear-minded, radio-friendly approach. They hadn't exactly rolled with punk's punches, but they'd gutted their music of the aimless experimentation that plagued stretches of 'Relayer' and 'Topographic Oceans.' The title track remains a fan favorite and live staple, surging with White's relentless tom-tom fills, Howe's rockabilly-inspired steel guitar riff, and Anderson's radiant vocal melody. 'Turn of the Century' is arguably the band's finest ballad, with Wakeman's haunting piano lines and Squire's bass moans circling around another passionate Anderson vocal.
The centerpiece, however, was saved for the end: The 15-minute tribal-psych epic 'Awaken' (which features Wakeman's massive church organ) is frequently ranked as the band's masterpiece. On his website bio, Anderson remarks, "I loved listening to 'Awaken!' At last we had created a Masterwork."
In many ways, 'Going for the One' represents the end of an era — the final gasp of prog-rock glory before the genre's descent into streamlined production and watered-down ambitions. In the liner notes to the album's 2003 reissue, Howe remarks, "We felt marvelously fresh and excited, and the recording had a great feel about it," referring to 'Going for the One' as "the Euro-rock album of all-time." It's a bold claim, but it's also hard to argue.

The Art of Gift Giving
The Art of Gift Giving - 'making your thought count'.
The Art of Gift Giving (AOGG) is an international gift giving consultancy. We believe that gift giving is an art form and we want to redefine gift giving as a form of expression – a way of expressing love, friendship, hope, sorrow, happiness, joy, gratitude, recognition and appreciation. A way of expressing our clients and their relationships.
Our mission is to put the meaning back into gift giving. We strive to make our client's thoughts count, by finding the perfect gift. Using knowledge, sentiment, personality type and symbolism we will find gifts for our clients that speak from the heart.
Being an international consultancy it is very important that our branding is clear and has the ability to cross cultures and appeal to a diverse range of audiences. As our job requires a substantial amount of creativity, it is important that this is reflected in our branding/logo as well as a sense of fun and light heartedness (we don't believe in taking ourselves TOO seriously). However, it is also important that our logo represents the AOGG as professional and chic.
I do not yet have my heart set on a colour scheme, so I will let your use your creative discretion. However, it is important that the colours used (and style in general) not be too feminine or too masculine as to not exclude any potential clients of either gender.
Target audiences
- Women: tend to be more concerned about giving and receiving gifts with emotional significance.
- Expatriates: gift giving gives them an opportunity to reinforce bonds with people 'back home'.
- Working Professionals: amongst the most time poor, but usually have the income and are accustomed to 'outsourcing' for the services they require.
- Corporate Clients: as a sign of recognition and appreciation, a great way to motivate employees and build lasting relationships with clients and suppliers.
Key Messages
1. 'The Art of Gift Giving saves you time and money' -
Gift shopping is a time consuming and stressful activity. Thoughtless, last minute and obligatory purchases cost more than the client originally wanted to spend.
2. 'Make your thought count' -

3. 'Gift giving is an important part of human interaction, defining relationships and strengthening bonds with family and friends.' - demonstrates that utilising the AOGG's services is the perfect way to show family and friends that they are always in our thoughts and are important to us.
4. 'Give the perfect gift' - demonstrates the AOGG's ability to tick all the boxes – right price, a gift that matches the recipient, a gift that puts a smile on the recipient's face and a gift that makes the giver feel good.

May 15, 2013 + Commentary on John 20:19-29 for St. Thomas Sunday
From The Explanation of the Gospel of St. John by Blessed Theophylact, Archbishop of Ochrid and Bulgaria
It is fitting that He grants joy to the women, condemned to bear children in pain and suffering; and peace to the men, on account of the warfare that would engulf them for preaching the Gospel. At the same time He reveals that the cross has ushered in peace: "The cross has brought peace: now I send you forth to proclaim it." To strengthen and embolden the disciples, He declares, "As My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you. It is My work you have undertaken, so do it boldly: I will be with you." Behold the authority of his command: "It is I Who sends you (̓Εγὼ πέμπω ὑμᾶς)." No longer does He condescend to the limitations of their understanding, saying as He often did before the resurrection, "I will ask My Father and He will send you." Now He breathes on them and gives them the Holy Spirit—but not the entirety of the gift He would bestow at Pentecost. Receive ye the Holy Spirit, means, "Let this partial bestowal of grace make you ready to receive later the fullness of the Holy Spirit." The words, Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them, indicate the particular gift He gives the disciples now: power to forgive sins. Later, on Pentecost, the Holy Spirit Himself would descend in all His might, lavishing upon the apostles every spiritual gift and power to work wondrous deeds, such as raising the dead.
It is worth considering why John records only that Christ appeared to His disciples in Jerusalem, while Matthew and Mark say that He promised to appear to them in Galilee (see Mt. 26:32; Mk. 14:28). Some have explained it this way: "Christ never said He would appear to the disciples only in Galilee, and not in Jerusalem. In Jerusalem, He appeared to the twelve, whereas in Galilee, He appeared to all His disciples, in accordance with His promise. The fact that He showed Himself many times to the twelve indicates that He honored them more highly than the others." From this we again see that there are no irreconcilable disagreements between the accounts of the Evangelists. There were many appearances of the Lord after His resurrection, and each Evangelist selected certain ones to record. When two Evangelists describe the same event, the second usually tells what the first has omitted. And now, O reader, reflect upon the divine rank of the priesthood. The power to forgive sins is a divine power; hence, we must show honor to the priests as to God. Even if they are unworthy, they are still ministers of divine gifts, and grace empowers them (ἐνεργεῖ διʹαὐτῶν) just as it empowered Balaam's ass, enabling it to speak (see Num. 22:28-30). Human frailty does not hinder the working of grace. Therefore, since grace is bestowed through the priests, let us honor them.
Thomas … was not with the disciples, perhaps because he had not yet returned from where he was hiding after the disciples had scattered. Elsewhere, we learned that the Hebrew name "Cephas" means "Rock" (Πέτρος, see Jn. 1:42); here we are told that "Thomas" means "Twin" (Δίδυμος). The Evangelist provides the meaning of the name here to indicate that Thomas was prone to be of two minds—a doubter by nature. He doubted the news brought to him by the others, not because he thought they were liars, but because he considered it impossible for a man to rise from the dead. And his doubt made him excessively inquisitive. Gullibility is a sign of light-mindedness; but stubborn resistance to truth is a sure indication of thick-headedness. Thomas would not even trust his eyes, but demanded proof by touch, the least discriminating of the senses: except I shall … thrust my hand into His side. How did Thomas know there were wounds in Christ's hands and side? Because the other disciples had told him. And why does the Lord wait eight days before appearing to him? To allow time for each of Thomas' fellow disciples to tell him what they had witnessed. Hearing the same story from each one individually made him more willing to believe, and increased his desire to see the Lord. In order to show that He was invisibly present eight days earlier, when Thomas had expressed disbelief, the Lord does not wait for Thomas to speak. Instead, He straightway proposes exactly what Thomas desired, quoting his very words.
First He rebukes Thomas, saying, Reach hither thy hand; then He admonishes him: and be not faithless, but believing. From this it is clear that Thomas' doubt was caused by lack of faith, and not because he was careful to verify the facts (as some say, wishing to put him in better light). But as soon as Thomas touched the Lord's side, he was revealed as a superb theologian, proclaiming the two natures and single hypostasis of the one Christ. Thomas refers to the human nature of Christ, calling Him Lord; for the term "Lord" (Κύριος) is applied not just to God, but to men as well. (Thinking that Jesus was the gardener, Mary Magdalene had said to Him, Sir (Κύριε), if thou have borne Him hence… (v. 15). But when Thomas cries out, …and My God, he confesses Christ's divine essence, and affirms that the names Lord and God refer to one and the same Person. By declaring blessed those who have not seen, and yet have believed, the Lord teaches us that faith means the acceptance of things not seen. He is referring, first to the disciples who believed without touching His side or the print of the nails, and second to those who would later believe (without any physical confirmation). He is not depriving Thomas of his share of blessedness, but encouraging all who have not seen. There was a common saying, "Blessed are the eyes that have seen the Lord." Christ, however, praises those who will believe without seeing, declaring them to be truly blessed.
A question arises: how can an incorruptible body display the mark of nails and be touched by human hands? The answer is that such things are possible as part of the divine economia: they are manifestations of God's condescension and love for man. By entering the room when the doors were shut, Christ makes it absolutely clear that after the resurrection His body is altered: it is now light and subtle, free of all material coarseness. But to confirm that it is indeed their Lord and Master Who has appeared to them, He permits His resurrected body, bearing the wounds of the crucifixion, to be touched. For the same reason, when He walked on the water before the Passion (see Mk. 6:48]), His body was unchanged from when He was walking about on land, and this reassured the disciples. But though He allows His resurrected body to be touched, it is now impassible and incorruptible. When Christ eats now with the disciples, it is no longer to satisfy any physical demands of His body (for there were none). Food once eaten is altered in the stomach and passes out into the drain (see Mt. 15:17). But it was not so with Christ after the resurrection. The food He ate during that time was consumed by an invisible, divine power. His only purpose in eating was to confirm the reality of His resurrection, and He permitted His incorruptible body to bear the mark of nails, and to be handled, for the same reason. Do you see, O reader, how, in order to save one doubting soul, the Lord did not spare His own dignity, but condescended to bare His side? Neither should we despise even the least of our brethren.
Venerable Pachomius the Great, Founder of Coenobitic Monasticism
By a flood of tears you made the desert fertile, and your longing for God brought forth fruits in abundance. By the radiance of miracles you illumined the whole universe! Our Father Pachomius pray to Christ God to save our souls!
Kontakion, Tone 2
After living the life of the angels in the body, you were granted their glory, God-bearing Pachomius. Now standing with them before the throne of God, you pray that we all may be forgiven.

In their first Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference clashes of the new year, host Chestnut Hill College and visiting University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (USP) divvyed up the spoils between them. The USP Devils cruised to a 74-50 victory in the women's game that led off the twin bill, while in the men's game the Griffins of CHC fought off a late challenge to prevail, 64-58.
The Chestnut Hill women had been playing better just before the holiday break than early in the season, but they appeared to regress last Tuesday. Falling behind by 20 points in the first 14 minutes, they would descend to 2-10 on the season overall, and 1-4 in conference play. Just before the break, the Griffins men fell victim to a late rally by Bloomsburg, but they didn't let it happen against the Devils, and were able to raise their record to 11-5, 4-0.
After giving a good account of themselves a few weeks ago in a game against Holy Family, one of the top teams in their conference, the CHC ladies looked out-of-sync against USP (7-5, 3-1), whose roster includes Catholic Academies products Carolyn Edwards (Jr./St. Basil) and Jessica Sylvester (Fr./Nazareth).
A jumper by Ebony Washington got the Griffins on the board first, but they only scored two more points during the initial 15 minutes of the game. One three-pointer by Lindsay Alexander and two by Olivia Gorczynski shored up the home side of the scoreboard late in the half, but the hosts still went into the locker room trailing 33-13. USP had taken the ball inside for its early scoring, then stepped out to hit four three-pointers of its own. Scoring the first two field goals of the second half, the Lady Devils proceeded to push the lead up over 30 points before coasting to a 24-point victory.
Gorczynski finished with a dozen points and Alexander had 11 points and nine rebounds from the Griffins, and from there their output dropped to the seven points put up by Latoya Laing. Edwards and Sylvester each wound up with 15 points as they led a parade of 10 USP scorers.
The Chestnut Hill men jumped ahead in their game with back-to-back three-point buckets by Mark DiRugeris and Brandon Williams. Nine minutes in, the Devils called a time-out after they fell behind 12-3, but the Griffins had increased their advantage by halftime, when their lead peaked at 34-21.
Joining fellow CHC guards DiRugeris and Williams, Torrell Candelaria came off the bench to score eight points (the team high at the half), while on the inside, forwards Dan Comas and Seamus Radke combined for 10 points.
Whatever was said in the visitors' halftime huddle took effect when play resumed, as they put together a 9-1 run in the first three minutes of the second half.
Points from DiRugeris and Comas bolstered what was now a slim CHC lead, but later on the guests got within two points, 52-50, with 7:47 to go. Five three-pointers had helped the Devils close the gap. CHC stepped up on defense and allowed no more USP field goals until the very end of the game. Right after the Devils pulled within two, a Comas dunk gave the hosts a little breathing room, and later guard Jakeem Bogans bagged two lay-ups and a pair of free throws to help the Griffins go up 62-53.
With 21 ticks on the clock, Tyrone Mann-Barnes tossed in a trey for USP, which then got the ball back on a Griffins turnover. The Devils missed a three-point shot from the top of the key and were forced to foul Bogans, who converted a double-bonus opportunity to make it 64-55 with 10 seconds to go.
From the right flank, Mann-Barnes nailed another "three" right at the buzzer, but Chestnut Hill was still half-a-dozen points ahead. The Griffins offense was paced by double-digit scoring from DiRugeris (15 points), Comas (13), and Bogans (11). Candelaria had nine points and a team-high seven rebounds, while Bogans handed out five assists.
For USP (1-9, 0-4), the scoring leaders were Myer Messinger (17) and his brother Henry (14), and Garret Kerr collected a game-high 14 rebounds to go with 11 points.

Why yes, it is time again for another roller derby post! For those of you keeping tabs, my derby career is coming along. I've talked about my failed tryout attempts in the past- and finally, in January I made the Fresh Meat team! The beauty of derby, however, is there's always a new goal to reach. Next goal: get drafted to a home team. And guess what- today is draft day!
I think these pieces adequately express my feelings about this! I am doggedly determined to get drafted tonight...... all the while knowing it's a pretty slim chance. I can't talk enough about the benefits derby has given me. It has been great having something really hard & scary to strive for that is completely non-career related. And the lessons of getting knocked down a billion times, and still getting up- and of facing bitter rejection, only to shake it off and try again... there may be SOME VERY SMALL similarities to making a living as a children's book illustrator.
And if you haven't done so already, check out your local roller derby league to see a bout! Chances are there's a team near you- it's the fastest growing sport in the nation!
Ok, and here's a picture of me on the track. That's me, Winnie the Pow!

2007 Lincoln MKX ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
All-new luxury crossover SUV.
The Lincoln MKX is an all-new crossover SUV. Sharing its car-like structure with the Ford Edge, the new Lincoln MKX offers many of the features of pricier SUVs for less cash, and serves as a step up from generic, high-volume SUVs. It offers a smoother ride and better handling than traditional truck-based SUVs and gets better fuel economy. The tight turning radius of the MKX makes maneuvering in crowded areas easy.
MKX is a five-passenger vehicle. Lincoln eschewed cramming in a third row where it doesn't belong, prioritizing spacious comfort for five and their baggage. Sure, a third row could have been shoehorned in, and four or five people would be squished and luggage left behind as a result. Better to provide Lincoln's stretch-out room front and rear, along with features like heated seats and a glass roof or DVD entertainment so rear passengers don't feel like second-class citizens. Realtors and other service professionals may find this new Lincoln ideal for ferrying clients, especially those who appreciate a good view out.
The MKX shows Lincoln heritage in ease of use. Getting in and out is easy, familiarization with operating controls is quick, and the driving characteristics are predictable. In terms of cargo carrying ability, the MKX can carry more stuff than a luxury sedan though not as much as a full-size SUV such as the Navigator.
The new Lincoln MKX competes with the Acura MDX, BMW X5, Cadillac SRX, Infiniti FX, and Lexus RX. However, the Lincoln MKX may represent a better value than many of those competitors, as even fully loaded with all-wheel drive, navigation, big sound and so on, it doesn't top $45,000.
The Lincoln MKX comes with front-wheel drive ($34,120) or all-wheel drive ($35,770). MKX comes well-equipped with leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, heated mirrors, wood-and-leather steering wheel, and lots of chrome trim.
Options include Panoramic Vista Roof with power shades ($1,895); Sirius Satellite Radio ($195); DVD navigation system ($1,995) which includes THX-certified sound system (650 watts, 14 speakers with dual subwoofers), rear-seat entertainment system with eight-inch screen, remote control and second-row wireless headphones; heated front seats ($295); heated rear seats ($295); roof rack and rails; adaptive headlights; power liftgate; reverse proximity sensors ($245); Class II tow package ($295) with 3,500 pound rating. The rear-seat entertainment system cannot be combined with the Vista Roof.
Safety features include frontal airbags, side-impact airbags and curtain airbags. ABS and electronic stability control come standard on AWD models and are available on FWD models.
With stubby overhangs and sizable wheel arches the Lincoln MKX presents a stylish profile not unlike some futuristic flying people-mover concepts of 20th-century animators. With a hood just longer than Leno's chin and a large expanse of glass it has almost van-like proportions but avant garde design and clever use of colors eliminates any chance of that stigma being applied.
Lincoln's MKX comes from the same mold as the Ford Edge. The chrome eggcrate grille offers plenty of bling, with more shiny stuff on the mirrors, wheel covers, around the rear lamps and windows, the exhaust tips, and badges. Door handles are paint-matched and the Vista Roof is all-black, leading to a black rear spoiler and trim below the rear glass, making the window appear larger than it is. Underneath the hatch glass is a full-width taillamp like Lincolns of old, only this one is lit by LEDs. In total the MKX is clean and distinctive, neither overdone nor generic jelly bean.
The cabin appears to blend traditional Lincoln luxury design shapes with a more contemporary palette of materials and colors. The soft-touch dash uses complementary color cues, dark wood trim right out of a Chicago chop house, and pewter-colored trim pieces that carry over to the steering wheel and door switch panels; only the lower door panels are obviously plastic, all the easier to clean off shoe scuffs and mud.
A simple grouping of instruments faces the driver beyond a tilt-and-telescoping wood-and-leather steering wheel with redundant controls for sound and climate functions. With eight-way adjustable power seats, the MKX will comfortably accommodate any driver between the extremes of NBA forward or jockey, and the perforated leather seats are both heated and cooled, the latter good for a reduction in air conditioning use.
The primary nit noted involved the fuse box that impinges on left foot room and moves the parking brake pedal far from the door; some 20 percent of the time when we engaged the parking brake, we also disengaged the fuse box cover.
Back-seat riders should have few complaints because their seats offer the same dimensions as the front; the back seats recline and have seat heaters, reading lights, and a glass roof with a power shade. The back seat is comfortable for two passengers. A third rider will cut the comfort level slightly but not be slighted on safety: An adjustable center headrest and shoulder belt is provided.
Cubby storage is plentiful. The glovebox is a decent size and will hold much more than just the owner's manual. The center console is so big it has a divider to keep your laptop separate from other debris. Coat hooks can handle thick plastic hangars, a great feature when picking up dry cleaning overlooked in many other vehicles.
The cargo area offers generous proportions in a useful shape, doubled merely by pressing a button on the side that folds the split rear seat sections flat: No mucking about with headrests or guessing which lever does what. The load will have to be lifted above knee high, as would a flat tire being stowed under the floor, the power liftgate housing intrudes on the left side space slightly, and there is a dearth of tie-down points to secure heavy items.
Driving Impression
The Lincoln MKX is all about relaxation, comfort, and style without being saddled with dynamic response comparable to a piece of furniture. For drivers not bent on 0-60 times and engineering-speak about exactly why the car will make that turn at precisely 41.38 mph, the MKX brings all the cornering grip and stability they need while riding smoothly enough to keep their latte from spilling.
MKX shares its heritage with the Mazda6 sedan and Mazda CX line of crossover SUVs, and this is a solid starting point. The 3.5-liter four-cam V6 is shared with the CX-9 and has enough oomph to easily merge an MKX or carry a full load to the slopes. Unfortunately, the six-speed automatic is reluctant to downshift unless you flatten the carpet under the gas pedal and doesn't offer the control choices of other transmission for long mountain descents or simply saving the brakes.
Turn the wheel and command an MKX to change direction or stop and it won't answer as crisply as some but isn't as isolated and rubbery as others so it doesn't roll over and squeal its tires in protest. It is controlled and competent, neither fast nor slow, and won't upset anyone with bad manners like wallowing or weaving. Spend enough time on potholed pavement or low-profile tires and it's easy to make the argument that average could be a blessing in disguise.
Road noise is suppressed, no doubt aided by having the wheels at the corners and away from occupants' feet and backsides. Wind noise doesn't become an issue until you've committed a speed infraction, and visibility is quite good despite the proper fitment of three rear head restraints. On the downside, some will find the central door pillar blocks their over-the-shoulder view, and the rear wiper could clear more of the glass.
The all-new Lincoln MKX serves its purpose well, nicely balanced without excelling in any given arena. Its primary advantage amongst its competitors is price, as even a top-line MKX barely clears the base price of its target cross-shoppers. It may be shopped as a fancy, loaded, more traditionally styled version of the cutting Edge, with the longer warranty.

Larry Penner's letter in your October 3rd issue was correct; Obama named Caroline Kennedy as ambassador to Japan because of her political clout and personal wealth.
Her diplomatic skills and experience add up to zero. Caroline is the last living symbol of Camelot and a political power broker. She helped Obama win the 2008 primary and donated heavily to his campaign.
The three-year-old son of Northwestern's Journalism School dean is more qualified for that post than Caroline; he speaks Japanese, she doesn't. But Neil Diamond didn't write a hit song about him.
Her nomination spotlights Obama's patten of picking fundraisers and political supporters for top level posts. He nominated Hyatt Hotel heiress Penny Pritzer as Commerce Secretary and HBO executive James Costos as ambassador to Spain.
His selection for Air Force Secretary is even more troubling. He nominated Deborah Lee James, president of technology and engineering for Scientific Applications International Corp (SAIC), those wonderful folks who gave us the $500 million City Time scandal, the worst contractor scam in New York's history.
This massive fraud occurred during Ms. James' tenure as the head of SAIC's
business information technology unit from 2004-2013.
Two SAIC federal contracts for intelligence gathering projects also came under fire. NSA director Michael Hayden blamed SAIC for going $400 million over budget on one contract, while FBI director Robert Mueller said SAIC was years behind schedule on another. Both projects were conducted during Ms. James stewardship from 2004-2013.
Why did Obama pick her as the Air Force's civilian boss? SAIC is the
nation's 9th largest defense contractor and 8th largest political donor.
It donated $1.2 million to election campaigns in 2012, according to the
Federal Election Commission. The top recipient: Barack Obama.
So much for hope and change. Can taxpayers tolerate this conflict of interest?
To quote Obama's campaign cry, "Yes We Can."

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Details Revealed
Last week saw the release of the new trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and while it certainly whet our appetites for the November 4 shooter, it left plenty of room for speculation. An article in the June issue of Game Informer, out today, fills in some blanks and gives us a clearer look at what to expect from the next installment of the world's top-selling shooter series.
As we saw in the trailer, Kevin Spacey's likeness and voice is heavily featured. Spacey plays Jonathan Irons, CEO of the Atlas Corporation, a powerful private military firm, and father of Will Irons, squad mate of the game's sole protagonist, Private Mitchell. Irons recruits the two soldiers after their tour of duty with the U.S. Marine Corps. The plot of the game's campaign remains largely unknown, but the catalyst for the action is described as a "global 9/11" event that affects major cities on multiple continents.
Set in 2054, Advanced Warfare puts futuristic weaponry and equipment in the hands of players. As a part of Atlas, soldiers are outfitted with an EXO suit, a combat rig that allows the player to perform superhuman feats. Abilities like magnetic wall-climbing, boost-dodging, super-jumping, hovering and optic camouflage are all available, and can be upgraded with points earned during missions. Variable grenades allow soldiers to switch between concussion and threat detection on the fly. If threat detection grenades are chosen, enemy locations are revealed in the player's HUD, giving a major tactical advantage. If concussion grenades are chosen, they just blow shit up. Traditional ammunition-based firearms are present, but energy weapons also make an appearance. In addition to the hoverbikes shown in the trailer, armored vehicles called Pitbulls will also be available, offering relatively safe transport through more heavily contested battlegrounds.
While much of the game's technology doesn't exist in the real world (yet), Sledgehammer made efforts to keep things realistic by consulting with futurists, military experts, and even film production designers.
Though no details were given on the game's multiplayer suite, CoD:AW is almost certain to spend a lot of time developing the online modes. Michael Condrey, co-founder of the game's developer, Sledgehammer Games, teased, "You can probably imagine the possibilities of a lot of the stuff you saw in single-player and how it would apply online." Co-op play has been confirmed, though no more details were presented.
In addition to Kevin Spacey, Advanced Warfare includes contributions by other talents. Veteran voice actor Troy Baker, best known as Booker from BioShock Infinite, Joel from The Last of Us, and the Joker from Batman: Arkham Origins, plays Private Mitchell, and Harry Gregson-Williams, composer for the Metal Gear series and countless movies and TV shows, will be handling the game's soundtrack.
Sledgehammer will develop the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game, which run on a new, unspecified game engine, but Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will be made by a separate studio to be named. A Wii U version was not mentioned. Shocking, we know.

Ben Marshall has completed his move from Leicester to Blackburn.
The winger joins Rovers for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of ?1million, and has signed a four-year contract at Ewood Park after undergoing a medical and agreeing personal terms on Tuesday.
Salford-born Marshall started his career at Manchester United as a schoolboy before moving on to Crewe, where he worked under Rovers' assistant manager Terry McPhillips and played in the same youth team as defender Grant Hanley.
At 17 he signed a professional deal with Stoke, enjoying several loan spells over a two-and-a-half-year period at Northampton, Cheltenham, Carlisle and Sheffield Wednesday.
Impressive displays during his time at Hillsborough prompted Leicester to make a move for Marshall in January 2012. He ended the season strongly for the Foxes with 18 appearances and four goals.
The England Under-21 international made 61 appearances for Leicester, scoring nine goals.
He is the third player to leave the King Power Stadium this summer following the exits of Jermaine Beckford and Richie Wellens as the Midlands club aim to fall in line with the Financial Fair Play regulations.

With all the attention this week on Thursday evening's NBA draft, you may have missed some stunning plays in the MLB this week.
ESPN Web Gems ran a poll asking users which play was better - Victor Martinez's diving stop and no-look throw, or Aaron Hill's one-handed pick and flip to first base.
Two stunningly agile plays in the field - and we've got our favourite, definitely Martinez's full-length diving save.
The Detroit Tigers first-baseman made the defensive play of the game in the sixth inning with the game poised at 4-3 to the Boston Red Sox. The Tigers turned it around and won 7-5.
But which do you prefer? Leave a comment below with your favourite and we'll tally up the votes!

1. Agent for Consignment. The owner, art dealer or artist (hereinafter, for the purposes of this Agreement, "SELLER"), appoints the gallery found on this site (hereinafter "GALLERY") as agent for the works of art (hereinafter "ARTWORK" or "ARTWORKS") consigned under this Agreement, for the purposes of exhibition and sale on and off the web site BusaccaGallery.com as one of the overall general agents of the art work, to sell or otherwise make available for acquisition to the public.
2. Consignment. The SELLER hereby consigns to the GALLERY, and the GALLERY accepts on consignment, those ARTWORKS posted and uploaded on the User Personal Information Sheets which are found on this website. Additional Personal Information Sheets may be incorporated as part of this website and this Agreement at any time, as parties agree to the consignment of other ARTWORKS. All new ARTWORK postings are governed under this Agreement.
3. Authority of Accepted SELLER's ARTWORKS. ARTWORKS may be accepted for consignment only by BusaccaGallery.com. Only BusaccaGallery.com staff are authorized to accept ARTWORKS hereunder. BusaccaGallery.com may reject at any time ARTWORKS at the gallery's discretion. We can "black list" from the web site if needed.
4. Warranty. SELLER hereby warrants that he or she created and/or possesses unencumbered title of the art, photos and content to the ARTWORKS, and that their descriptions are true and accurate.
5. Duration of Consignment. SELLER and the GALLERY agree that the initial term of consignment for the ARTWORK is to be until it has been taken off the web site or sold. SELLER will announce the duration of the consignment on his or her "Manage Art" page (found on this website) or to request the end of the term.
6. Transportation Responsibilities. Packing and shipping charges, insurance costs, other handling expenses, and risk of loss or damage incurred in the delivery of ARTWORKS from the warehouse to the PURCHASER, shall be the responsibility of the SELLER. Shipping costs will be worked out and negotiated at the end of all Transactions.
7. Fiduciary Responsibilities. Title to the ARTWORK remains with the SELLER until the BusaccaGallery.com has been paid the full amount that is owed for the ARTWORK; title then passes directly to the PURCHASER. All proceeds from the sale of the ARTWORKS shall be held in trust or escrow for the SELLER and also the PURCHASER. BusaccaGallery.com shall pay all amounts due to the SELLER, before any proceeds of sales can be made available to creditors of the GALLERY. BusaccaGallery.com will notify the SELLER within five business days of an on-line purchase. The GALLERY director will: process PURCHASER credit card; send electronic notice of sale to the SELLER; and notify PURCHASER of processed sale. Within two business days of a processed sale, the SELLER will: ship the ARTWORK to PURCHASER; give electronic notice to PURCHASER that the ARTWORK has been shipped; give electronic notice to the GALLERY director that the ARTWORK has been shipped; or contact PURCHASER to make alternate shipping arrangements. (electronic copy to Gallery Director).
8. Notice of Consignment. BusaccaGallery.com shall give notice, by means of a clear and conspicuous sign in full public view that certain ARTWORKS are being sold subject to a contract of a web based online consignment site. BusaccaGallery.com has never owned or physically seen or hailed the object in most cases before its posting on the web. We depend on the SELLERS of the art object to ensure that their descriptions are true and accurate when posting.
9. Pricing; GALLERY'S Commission; Terms of Payment. GALLERY shall sell ARTWORKS only at the retail price specified on the User Personal Information Sheets. We hold the right to negotiate if warranted. The Gallery and the SELLER agree that the Gallery's commission is to be a percent of the retail price of the ARTWORK. Estimated Wholesale value is the price required by the SELLER before releasing the ARTWORK to the PURCHASER. Estimated Retail value takes into account the amount BusaccaGallery.com will be paid over the Wholesale price. It is our right to price the art object to a fair market value. BusaccaGallery.com takes between 30% and 150% on every single art transaction. We never go higher then 150% of Wholesale. For example, an ARTWORK with a wholesale price of $100.00 could be marked up 150% to $250.00, or an ARTWORK with a $1000.00 wholesale price could be marked up 30% to $1,300.00. Such mark-ups allow BusaccaGallery.com to provide this service to BUYERS and SELLERS for free. If BusaccaGallery.com determines there is an insufficient margin between the wholesale and retail price of a particular ARTWORK, BusaccaGallery.com may deny posting the ARTWORK. Any change in the retail price, must be agreed to in advance by BusaccaGallery.com.
Payment to the SELLER shall be made by BusaccaGallery.com within 20 days of the delivery and approval of the PURCHASER. The SELLER assumes full risk and responsibility for the failure to deliver to any PURCHASER that has purchased an ARTWORK through this service. NO consigned ARTWORK shall pass from SELLER to PURCHASER until payment to BusaccaGallery.com has been satisfied. Although the GALLERY will collect sales tax with PURCHASER payment, the SELLER is responsible for depositing any sales tax as required by state law.
10. Promotion. The GALLERY shall use its best efforts to promote the sale of ARTWORKS. BusaccaGallery.com agrees to provide adequate display of the Art object, and to undertake other promotional on-line activities on the SELLER'S behalf. BusaccaGallery.com shall clearly identify all ARTWORKS and shall be included, along with the owner of the art object, on the bill of sale of each of the Artworks. Such promotion may include updating meta tags; GALLERY listings in print media as deemed appropriate and viable by the director; GALLERY e-mail notices to registered website visitors; GALLERY web-links; and search engine postings.
11. Reproduction. BusaccaGallery.com reserves all rights to the reproduction of the ARTWORKS except as noted in writing to the contrary. The GALLERY will not permit any of the ARTWORKS to be copied, photographed or reproduced without the written permission of BusaccaGallery.com. In every instance of such use, the SELLER shall be acknowledged as having the copyrights, ownership and proof as to the authenticity of the ARTWORK to upload and post. The GALLERY shall include on each bill of sale of any ARTWORK the following legend: "All rights to reproduction of the work(s) of art identified herein are and can be retained by BusaccaGallery.com for use and reproduction of new art works."
12. Accounting. A statement of accounts for all sales of ARTWORKS shall be furnished by BusaccaGallery.com to the SELLER with an on-line statement and payment of all commissions due.
13. Termination of Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at any time by either BusaccaGallery.com or the SELLER, by giving on-line notice of termination from either party to the other. In the event of the SELLER'S death, the estate of the SELLER shall have the right to terminate the Agreement only as regarding the sale of ARTWORK. Within thirty days of the notification of termination of the agreement, all accounts shall be settled and all unsold Artworks that are for sale shall be taken off the web site and be put on hold.
14. Management of on-line portfolio. It is the SELLER'S responsibility to notify BusaccaGallery.com (via the on-line GALLERY Manage Art Portfolio) of any sale of ARTWORK listed at the GALLERY that affects the availability of the ARTWORK, within one business day of such a sale. Failing to make such notification of sale, SELLER will incur all costs of any handling expenses.
15. Miscellany. This Agreement represents the entire Agreement between the SELLER and BusaccaGallery.com. If any part of this Agreement is held to be illegal, void, or unenforceable for any reason, such holding shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other part. A waiver of any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches of the same provision or other provisions hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned, nor shall it inure to the benefit of the successors of BusaccaGallery.com, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the SELLER. In any proceeding to enforce any part of this contract, the aggrieved party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, in addition to any other available remedy. This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of California.

Feature: Dev Crypto Userspace API
Allow the user space applications directly or indirectly through existing crypto libraries interfacing with the kernel crypto implementation.
- This Feature is obsoleted by Features/CryptographyInKernel.
- Name: Tomáš Mráz
- Email: tmraz AT redhat DOT com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 14
- Last updated: 2010-07-13
- Percentage of completion: 5%
Detailed Description
The /dev/crypto is a special device which is currently in development for the upstream kernel inclusion. This device allows user space applications to directly call the cryptographic routines that are part of the Linux kernel code. Similar device is available also on other kernels.
Separation of the cryptographic primitives into the kernel allows fulfilling the requirements of the new U.S. Government standards (such as FIPS-140-3) in regards to the implementation and usage of the cryptographic algorithms on general purpose operating systems.
This separation allows isolation of the private and secret keys from the user space applications so these critical security parameters (CSP) are not leaked in case the user space applications are for example exploited by malicious users. It also allows proper auditing of any administrative manipulation with these CSP.
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora will be able to declare being the leader in developing and enabling users of the cryptographic algorithms to comply with the newest government standards.
Required steps are:
- /dev/crypto interface built into the kernel
- user space library allowing easy access to the /dev/crypto interface
Optional steps (maybe a feature for Fedora 15):
- PKCS#11 module directly pluggable into the Mozilla NSS crypto library
- Configurable replacement of the crypto implementation in other system crypto libraries such as OpenSSL or libgcrypt
How To Test
The accomplishment of this feature does not require much testing. Mainly the testing will be provided by the tests included in the build of the user space API library. More testing will need to be done when the integration with the existing system crypto libraries is implemented. This testing will be necessary to ensure that by using this kernel API instead of the native crypto algorithm implementations the crypto algorithms supported still work correctly.
User Experience
No visible changes.
None external dependencies.
Contingency Plan
None necessary for the required parts of the feature. We would simply not ship the library if it is not completed.
Release Notes
- /dev/crypto kernel cryptographic algorithms interface for user space applications is available in Fedora 14. This feature allows calling the cryptographic algorithms implementations which are included in the kernel, directly from the user space applications and libraries. By separating the cryptographic implementations from the user space higher isolation of critical security parameters (such as private and secret keys) from the potentially exploitable user space code can be reached.
Comments and Discussion
- This Feature is obsoleted by Features/CryptographyInKernel.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitzkoppe
The Spitzkoppe (from German for "pointed dome"; also referred to as Spitzkop, Groot Spitzkop, or the "Matterhorn of Namibia"), is a group of bald granite peaks or bornhardts located between Usakos and Swakopmund in the Namib desert of Namibia. The granite is more than 700 million years old and the highest outcrop rises about 1,784 metres (5,853 ft) above sea level. The peaks stand out dramatically from the flat surrounding plains. The highest peak is about 700 m (2,300 ft) above the floor of the desert below. A minor peak – the Little Spitzkoppe – lies nearby at an elevation of 1,584 m (5,197 ft). Other prominences stretch out into a range known as the Pontok Mountains.
Welcome to Africa, AKA the motherland! Check out African Internet Radio while you're scoping the panoramas.The earliest fossil of the homo sapiens family (human beings) was found in Ethiopia, dating back more than 200,000 years. Compared to this length of time, even the "ancient Sumerians" from 6000 B.C. are drooling toddlers.Let's mention a few African heroes you may have heard of, for inspiration in the face of the continued economic inequality and violence which plague Africa today: Nelson Mandela, first democratically elected President of South Africa, who fought against apartheid and served 27 years in prison while advocating freedom and peace. Haile Salassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, who resisted Mussolini and the fascist Italian invasion of WWII, and who is worshipped as an incarnation of God by the Rastafari movement. Kwame Nkrumah, first Prime Minister of Ghana, advocate of uniting Africa in Pan-Africanism. Fela Kuti, inventor of Afrobeat music, who declared his home to be an independent state, ran for president of Nigeria, and to whose funeral ONE MILLION PEOPLE came to pay their respects.In June 2001 the African Union was formed, consisting of 53 African States organized, like in the EU, around common economic and political development.Text by Steve Smith.

Are presidential candidates, including Gov. Bill Richardson, becoming more cowardly? That seems to be the troubling trend, according to Project Vote Smart Media Director Mike Wessler.
Project Vote Smart is a nonprofit organization that asks politicians to take the Political Courage Test (PCT) every year. The test is really more like a survey that asks officeholders and those seeking office about their positions on several major issues, including abortion, education and healthcare. Test takers can choose from a range of policy choices or they can explain where they stand in their own words.
Although he took the PCT in 1996 when it was called the National Political Awareness Test, Gov. Richardson has declined to do so since. "Richardson's people told us some of the information that's asked for in the test is available on his campaign website but they said he would not take the test," Wessler says. Richardson's campaign office did not return calls for comment.
But the governor isn't alone in his refusal. Out of 17 presidential candidates in the Democratic and Republican parties receiving serious media attention, only John Edwards, Chris Dodd and Mike Gravel took the test.
As for why so many candidates are remaining tight-lipped, Wessler thinks it's because political consultants are trying harder and harder to control their candidates' messages. "We've had consultants tell us point blank, 'It's not our job to educate, it's our job to win,' " he says. "I've also heard them say they don't want their candidates to be boxed in to a corner by putting information out there, or they don't want the test to be used by their opposition, but I don't really buy any of that as a good excuse."
Wessler says he doesn't think politicians will be sprouting backbones any time soon. As long as they keep delivering their messages in the form of sound bites, he says, the public will have to dig up its own information. "How else are American voters supposed to know what politicians think about the issues unless they actually tell us?" Wessler asks. "Unfortunately, the answer to that is, you have to find out yourself. That's why we track the voting records of elected officials at the state and federal levels. If they won't tell us, we'll find out ourselves."

Lady Gaga to Make Movie Debut?
Lady Gaga is reportedly set to make her film debut in the forthcoming 'Men In Black' sequel. While one might expect such news to come via a tweet from Gaga herself, word spread like wildfire on the web after franchise star Will Smith accidentally spilled the beans to a Brazilian website during a promotional trip to Rio last week.
Supposedly, Smith told Brazilian website ElCorilloRD.com (via WENN) that the film will be teeming with celeb cameos. "We have a couple of celebrity cameos, but I cannot reveal who they are. We must keep as a surprise that Lady Gaga appears," Smith reportedly said.
So was Smith speaking off the record? His statements seem to contradict one another, since he first says, "I cannot reveal who they are," and then says the Mother Monster will be in the movie. Perhaps he was trying to throw film buffs and scoop sleuths off the scent?
Could you imagine Gaga in 'MIB?' It'd be a great franchise for her to align herself with, given the blockbuster status. She has expressed interest in crossing over into film one day, so it's not as far-fetched as it may seem.
