The Department of Justice (DOJ) is under scrutiny for issuing over $1 million in anti-human trafficking grants to less qualified organizations, according to a Reuters report on a whistleblower complaint.

Christmas has unique memories for international journalist Christiane Amanpour, the ABC News Global Affairs Anchor. As a small child, she remembers wonderful times, "my family with a Christmas tree and presents and a family gathering."
But her father was Muslim. Her mother was Catholic. They lived in Iran. Little Christiane grew up in a clash of worlds – yet it was quieter than today. "We had Christmas off from school, but," she notes, "remember, Iran was not yet an Islamic republic."
During her childhood, the former Persian Empire was one of the most diverse, modern and secular Islamic nations of the Cold War era, led by an iron-fisted dictator whose family had been put in power by the CIA and was one of America's top allies – the controversial Shah of Iran.
Amanpour – now a regular on the ABC nightly news as well as Chief International Correspondent for CNN and the nightly host of her own interview program on CNN International – remembers an Iran vastly different in the 1960s and 1970s from today's terror-exporting, nuke-developing Islamic republic whose president annually vows before the United Nations to destroy both Israel and the United States as he ushers in Armageddon and welcomes the return of the Hidden Imam – Shi'ite Islam's child Messiah.
"We had a Christmas tree, we decorated, we had Christmas celebration," she recalls. Is observance of the holiday tolerated in today's rigid Iranian Islamic society? "It may not be open and allowed," she admits, "but in the privacy of your own home, you do what you will."
Did her very Christian-sounding first name cause problems as a child? After all, "Christiane" is not at all Iranian nor Islamic.
"It really didn't," she says. "My mother is Catholic, my father Muslim and so I've grown up with both faiths – and I happen to be married to a man who's Jewish. So, I have all three faiths running right through my immediate family. It taught me tolerance. It taught me that all three faiths can exist together because we have so much in common."
Today as Iranian-built rockets pound Israeli neighborhoods, as Israeli helicopter gunships rain death and destruction on Gaza, as civil war rages just miles away in Syria and Iran's leaders are blamed for Continued on page 2

My favorite part is when Sherlock tells Watson how he solves the mystery and he gives every detail. Watson also asks him other questions. I like how Sherlock answers every single one of them. Watson reminds me of myself. I am always asking how people do things when they are doing something. Sherlock reminds me of my dad because my dad is always sitting and thinking. Jabet's clerk reminds me of my brother because they both like to dig.
I would recommend this book because it has good mysteries. I think people should read this if they like Encyclopedia Brown.

Hays should be proud
On Aug. 10, I was returning home to North Carolina from a six-week fishing trip in Colorado. Approximately a mile east of Hays on Interstate 70, two young men in a small red sedan pulled along side me and frantically waved for me to pull over.
After quickly going over the possibilities of all the bad things that these two men might be up to, I decided that with traffic being "normal" and it being broad daylight, there was not much chance that anything "bad" was going to happen.
As I walked along side the driver's side of my truck and small RV I didn't see anything wrong, however, as soon as I reached the passenger side corner, I saw the smoke pouring from the wheel on that side. Obviously, this meant a bad wheel bearing and if these two young men had not stopped me when they did either the wheel would have come off or my RV would have caught on fire. Unfortunately, I was so concerned about the traffic and RV I never asked the name of either of these two individuals.
In addition, at the suggestion of the driver of the red sedan, I contacted Augie's Towing and talked directly to the owner, August Windholz. He sent one of his tow truck operators, Keith, and soon I was off the interstate, and my RV was being repaired. Not only were both of these men knowledgeable and efficient, but they were genuinely concerned about my situation and made the entire ordeal as "pleasant" as possible. These guys are professional.
It is a shame I have always been in such a hurry getting from point "A" to point "B" and have never stopped in Hays on the multiple trips through your area of the country. I had the opportunity to walk around Old Fort Hays, walk around the downtown area of Hays and generally have a good look around. I also understand that I missed some great fishing nearby. In the future, I intend to make it a point to spend more time in and around your town.
Finally, even though I found the town to be much better than I could have imagined, it was really the people that caught my attention. Those two young men not only saved me a bunch of money, but, perhaps they even saved my life and the lives of others that could have been involved in an accident with the wheel falling off my RV.
Certainly, these two should be very proud that they chose to get involved, and the entire area of Hays should be proud it has individuals like this living there.

Experiential qual to understand brands & inspire their future development
Our well-proven tool to drive successful brand and marketing strategy
ALIVE: Brand uses our experiential client-consumer workshop approach to bring brands to life. Deep level brand exploration requires the extensive use of projective and enabling techniques, but these work best with respondents who are happy and able to take that step into the wackier side of qual!
ALIVE drives high levels of engagement, giving respondents the enthusiasm and confidence to take part in all sorts of weird and wonderful techniques, to build up a clear picture of the brand and inspire all sorts of ideas for where it should go next.
Case study
Our client's brand had received little marketing support for too long and was slipping off the radar. With a particularly qual-resistant audience of traditional, middle-aged men and a fading brand, it took all the excitement of ALIVE sessions with clients, consumers, illustrators & a riot of projective techniques to bring the brand back to life.
What our clients say
"Engage is a key research partner & they really are seen as part of our extended team. They consistently go above & beyond the call of duty. We value their technical research expertise and also their advice which demonstrates that they really understand our business."
Brandnostic allows our clients to gain an in-depth understanding of where and how their brands play on the context of the market as a whole in order to optimise brand positioning and monitor brand health over time.
What our clients say:
"Engage have delivered a robust and flexible way of tracking the performance of our new brands as they launch into the market, with each wave of output providing clarity of direction in their increasingly competitive environment. "
Brandnostic enables clients to:
• Understand market drivers – what they are and how powerful each is in driving brand preference
• Gain a detailed view of each brand on key functional and emotional drivers
• Assess brand strengths and weakness, enabling a clear direction to successfully grow brands
• Pinpoint competitive threats
• Monitor the impact of brands' strategy and marketing actions over time
Engage can help with both classic, strategic and in depth U&As as well as the more tactical, issue-focussed pieces. The best U&As do not come out of a box, but are tailored to the business and its needs. There may be a role for some tried and tested modules but we leverage extensive experience in this area to create bespoke studies designed to answer key business objectives. We've run many such studies internationally and using a range of data collection techniques appropriate to market in order to deliver the best cost and time effective solutions per market.
U&A data is often detailed and complex, to the point that it can become so overwhelming that it is not fully used. Our job is not finished until the project is assimilated & acted upon.
So we tailor the content and format of deliverables, often workshopping outputs and delivering alternative reporting formats to encourage future use and help embed the research findings within the business.
What our clients say
"Engage take all the complexity and headache out of working across borders. They are nimble, flexible and good value for money. They know how to get the details right but also know how to ladder up to big insights. I could not manage the massive category deep dive studies for our business without their dedicated and hard working team".
Whether you are segmenting to identify white space, key brand strongholds, people or occasions to target, Engage can help.
We have run segmentations of almost every type imaginable – attitudinal, behavioural, demographic, occasion & needs based – and can guide clients as to the most appropriate segmentation solution and segment prioritisation for their needs.
Segmentation data is often detailed and complex and can't be fully leveraged until it is assimilated and acted upon. So we tailor the content and format of deliverables, often workshopping outputs and delivering alternative reporting formats to encourage immersion and activation.
"Despite their success and associated growth I'm pleased to say that Engage have stayed true to their ethos of senior team members truly being hands on with all projects. It makes a massive difference and gets everyone to better outcomes. I've been impressed with the creativity and flexibility the team apply to their proposals and their effectiveness at delivering the resulting insights and opportunities back to the business"
Understandable U&As to help understand consumers
Divide to conquer – our approach to segmentations
Our experiential approach towards qualitative consumer workshops
Fast & effective prioritisation tool
Guidance on a range of business decisions from early innovation to product and range optimisation
ALIVE is our consumer-client workshop approach. We mix consumers with stakeholders in inspiring venues, test and sample products, refine concepts, develop R&D briefs… all in a couple of days or less.
Case study
Food company had six prototype product flavours, a basic concept and a handful of claims. We conducted four x three hour ALIVE sessions each mixing 12 consumers with eight clients in a cookery school venue. The result: refined concept, narrowed product range, clear R&D spec, viable claims. Happy client.
What our clients say
"As always I think you did a fantastic job – well done. Thanks for a great day yesterday – entertaining as well as educational!"
Identifies which early-stage ideas represent the best opportunities for success and allows our Clients to direct resources at their best ideas, FAST!
The technique works for concept ideas, claims or recipes.
It can cover a 20-60 ideas, which would typically be a short description.
Case Study: Our Client had over 40 ideas generated via a qualitative brainstorm, they needed to work quickly to understand which were the best 10 to take into further development.
Engage Solution: Online interviews using PRIORITISE, best ideas identified in 2 weeks
Client action: 5 ideas now in final product development. These will form the base of a totally new range that will be launched at the end of this year.
What our clients say
"fantastic value for money, clear advice at each stage means we genuinely could fast track this innovation when it normally wouldn't be possible!"
Evolve scope provides guidance on a range of business decisions from early innovation through to product and range optimisation.
The technique works for traditional product 'ideas', as well as claims, recipes, pack formats & magazine coverlines.
It can cover a small number of ideas – up to a maximum of 30.
What our clients say
"One of the team's greatest assets is their ability to simplify complex projects, & present the learnings in a way that's easily understandable for the wider business. They are always able to accommodate our changing demands – with a smile!"
Case Study
Our Client has a large and complex range, with products that are rotated on a seasonal basis. We needed to understand which range has the best potential to drive penetration/ reach – could this be different across accounts?
Engage Solution:
Online interviews using our Scope method (+ accompanied shops & eye tracking to understand the in-store environment in more detail)
Client action:
Identified short term wins, as well as portfolio planning for two and five years.
Our evolve mix concept and product testing framework…
…Is rigorous but flexible
…Provides clear direction & depth of understanding
…Allows R&D to be as clear as possible on how to take products forward
Our approach makes maximum use of diagnostics through both direct consumer feedback and smart analytics to ensure that our clients know what elements of the mix are working, which aren't and why. We can also incorporate volumetric output into our final mix framework. Our approach is very open in order to take the pain out the process!
What our clients say
"I highly regard engage as a very professional international research agency. I like the good consultancy, the high level of business understanding and the seamless and quick handling of projects. I have had a very good experience for concept testing, product and claims testing in multi-country projects. I can highly recommend to work with engage in this areas of research."
Our approach to pack testing provides a flexible framework in which to test your packs at different stages of development. It is specifically adapted to take account of the role that packaging needs to play in terms of the key pack KPIs of attraction, differentiation, persuasion and targeting.
We employ a mix of both hard and soft metrics and make use of the latest eye-tracking technology to enable quick and actionable decision making.
What our clients say
"I find that working with Engage is a most pleasant experience. I know that I can count on precise work with creative and thoughtful analysis. I highly recommend Engage for both Qualitative and Quantitative consumer research."
Finding the right price point is a critical step in the innovation process – and controlling the price of an existing product is a necessary component of successful brand management. We blend the latest pricing tools with our distinctive gamified approach to guide brand teams to make the best pricing decisions.
Areas we regularly advise on are
1) Entry Strategy – what is the opimum pricing strategy for my new product?
2) Handling Change – what happens when we change price, or other brands change price?
3) Can we charge more if we innovate – if we add features or improve the product how much more could it be worth?
4) Promotions – what is a product offer worth compared to other product offers?
What our clients say
"Always a pleasure working with a team that can distil the complex into practical solutions and deliver output in such a compelling way."
Our unparalleled expertise in concept/product & final mix testing means you get the best possible advice

Well, nearly. I'm continuing on with my album of unknown photos. This is, once again, taken from my Quirk family album of "who the heck are these people?" This time a double-whammy of sorts. If you look, the pictures are of the same gentleman, but taken by different photographers in the same city. It's even the same pose. I don't know the timeline for Hazleton, Pennsylvania photographers, but what I will have to do is research these two in particular. Perhaps one took over or branched off from the other and they had the original to make copies from.
Also, a little research may be in order as to what the young man is wearing. A priest perhaps? I think so. Maybe finding out who this person was may not be an impossibility then. Either way, my ancestor had more than one picture in the album and we did have some priests in the family. Any ideas about the time frame for this photo? I'd love any hints!

They come in a colorful array of orange, green, blue, and black. They are more fun than a barrel of monkeys, and they are aptly named Tankbots. They sort of look like little Smart Cars on tractor treads.
There are a few steps that must be followed to get your Tankbot up and running. The first thing you'll want to do is fold down the USB charging tab from the back of the unit and plug it into any USB port. While it's charging, download the Tankbot app for your IOS or Android device. Yes, if works with iPhone, iPods, ipads, and all Android devices. Then turn off the sound from within the system settings. Next, in the remote sensor, install the little hearing aid batteries that come with it.
Master your iPhone in one minute a day:
Sign up to iPhone Life's Tip of the Day Newsletter and we'll send you a tip each day to save time and get the most out of your iPhone or iPad.
You're almost set to go. Just plug the sensor into a 3.5mm sound jack and switch it on. A blue light will flash. Invoke the Tankbot app, select your Deskpet and turn it on. On the screen two levers will appear that you can use for remote navigation that commands the vehicle to go left, right, backward and forward. Be warned that they are kind of touchy at it takes some getting used to controlling it.
The Tankbot has three modes of operation , all controlled by the on/off button. Push the button to turn it on. When the blue headlights turn on, push it again for autonomous obstacle avoidance and maze navigation. Push it again for free roaming with light and sound. The third push enables remote control mode.
Frankly, I had the most fun with the obstacle avoidance and maze navigation mode. I turn it loose on my desk and let it avoid and maneuver around the objects on my desk. It's a hoot. It senses the edge of the desk and turns away. My kids used to have buckets full of Legos. I will I still had them so that I could build a complex maze with them and put the Tankbot through its paces. It's surprisingly intelligent.
Other than being somewhat touchy to control in remote mode, it seems to have a penchant for tipping over backwards when it runs into certain objects, which I find annoying.
Here's a YouTube video to see it in operation.
Tankbots are the latest release in the Deskpet menagerie joining Skitterbots that look like red, blue, white or green bodied tarantulas and white, blue, black, or orange Trekbots that look like little, slant-wheeled wheel chairs sans a person.
Anyway, the Tankbot will make an excellent stocking stuffer for Christmas or a welcome little gift any time of year. The street price is around $49.95, but I've seen them for $39.99, but it's a small price to pay for so much entertainment for you, friends, and family.

The Role of Governance ChoiceLage Hansen, Jakob (København, 2002)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper provides a general framework for examining how governance choice affects competitive advantage. I argue that firms rely on assets for competing, and that these assets can be accessed by different governance structures (i.e., they can be in- or outsourced). The transaction cost economics framework is used to expose strengths and weaknesses of governance structures with respect to creating and sustaining competitive advantage. The result is a tradeoff to consider when choosing how to access an asset. A number of implications are forwarded, and the usefulness of the framework is demonstrated by means of an application to the famous General Motors - Fisher Body case. This points to the potential of using transaction cost economics in the analysis of competitive strategy, as well as to the shortcomings of the existing transaction cost economics framework in explaining governance choice. The framework also represents a way to integrate transaction cost economics with the resource-based view and industrial organization. 1 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8133

Lage Hansen, Jakob (København, 2002)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: It is argued that specificity is inadequate to explain hold-up, as the definition is imprecise as to which party incurs a loss if an asset is redeployed. If both parties to a transaction incur a loss when an asset is redeployed, neither party can credibly hold up the other party. Also the concept does not address expectations. It is the expected loss (not the actual loss) of parties that will drive attempts at hold-up. Therefore focusing on specificity when talking hold-up can be misleading. As a consequence the concept of importance is introduced. The importance of an asset to a firm is the expected loss to the firm if access to the asset is lost. Various determinants of importance are discussed by using a formal framework. Implications are forwarded, and it is argued that the relative importance of the parties has to change for hold-up to occur. One-sided specific investments inherently lead to mutual importance, which mitigates hold-up. Situations without specificity can lead to hold-up if expectations are asymmetric. Lastly, hold-up does not imply a hold-up problem. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6883

Config::Simple::Extended - Extend Config::Simple w/ Configuration Inheritance, chosen by URL
Version 0.15
my $url = $cgi->url(); my $cfg_file_path = parse_url_for_config_path($url); my $cfg_base_path = '/etc/app_name/sites'; my $cfg_path = "$cfg_base_path/$cfg_file_path";
my $installation_cfg = Config::Simple->new( file => '$cfg_path/app_name.ini' );
my $client_cfg = Config::Simple::Extended->inherit( base_config => $installation_cfg, filename => '$cfg_path/client_name/app_name.ini', );
my $job_cfg = Config::Simple::Extended->inherit( base_config => $client_cfg, filename => '$cfg_path/client_name/app_job_id.ini', );
my $arrayref_of_stanza_names = $cfg->get_stanzas();
This is intended to provide, before this is complete
->inherit() to inherit configurations, done;
->parse_config_directory() choosing configuration by url;
->heredoc() to parse heredoc configurations (still pending);
anything else?
For details on accessing configuration parameters, read perldoc Config::Simple, which is well documented. In short, even if you wanted to bypass the published methods, everything seems to be found at: $cfg->{'_DATA'}->{$stanza}->{$key}, which then takes an anonymous list of whatever you feed it. The notes below focus on how to set up overloading configuration files How to write a constructor which will use them, how to share configuration hashes among modules in an application, etc.
These configuration hashes can be shared around with other objects which need them, like this:
my $object = My::New::Module->new({ 'cfg' => $self->{'cfg'} });
assuming that you are inside an object method whose constructor stored the configuration hash at its own 'cfg' key, as I used to do, or in a ->cfg attribute as I tend to do these days now that Moose has come along.
or to needlessly duplicate the object in your memory overhead, as I did it when I was first digging around in the innards of Config::Simple, and learning how to use it:
my $new_object = My::New::Module->new({
'config_file' => $self->{'cfg'}->{'_FILE_NAME'} });
But don't do that. It will make your dumpers needlessly confusing.
Now I can write a constructor like this:
package My::New::Module;
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $defaults = shift;
my $self = {};
$self->{'cfg'} = Config::Simple->new(
$defaults->{'config_file'} );
} elsif(defined($defaults->{'config_files'})){
my $cfg;
foreach my $file (@{$defaults->{'config_files'}}){
$cfg = Config::Simple::Extended->inherit({
base_config => $cfg,
filename => $file });
$self->{'cfg'} = $cfg;
} else {
die "Constructor invoked with no Confirguration File."
my $db = $self->{'cfg'}->get_block('db');
# print STDERR Dumper(\$db);
$self->{'dbh'} = My::New::Module::DB->connect($db);
bless $self, $class;
return $self;
or, with Moose, perhaps adapt that as a ->_build_cfg() method to populate a ->cfg() attribute. That is how I've used this module since I started using Moose.
Making it possible to use it like so:
my $new_object = My::New::Module->new({
'config_files' => [ '/etc/my_app/base_configuration.ini',
'/etc/my_app/client/job_id.ini' ] });
with the job config over-writing the client config, over-writing the base config. If you let untrusted users write their own job configuration files, you probably want to reverse the order of the array, so that your base configuration file ultimately overwrites the final object with your sanity checks and security barriers in place.
$cfg_file_path = parse_url_for_config_path($url);
This converts a url into a configuration file path, in a manner similar to the way that drupal lays out its configuration files, permitting a single code installation to host multiple instances of the same application. Each url is aliased to the same code installation, and this method sorts out which configuration to provide it.
This is copied verbatim from ->Config::Simple::Inherit->inherit(); And this module's version number is taken from that module, as well.
This module only offers this one method, but I trust you'll find it useful. It returns a Config::Simple object, when given a reference to a hash, of which it only recognizes two keys: 'base_config' and 'filename'. The 'base_config' ought to be left undefined or set to a 'Config::Simple' object created with either this method or the ->new() method provided by Config::Simple. When 'base_config' is given a Config::Simple object, it walks every configuration parameter defined in the filename, and uses the new value to update the value for the respective parameterin the 'base_config' object, inheriting values from it, but overloading the configuration with the new values.
I envision essentially two ways this module might be used:
(1) to provide a means for getting more specific with a configuration by first creating an installation-wide configuration, then a client specific configuration, then job specific configuration, each overloading the more general values provided by the configuration before it.
(2) to enforce client, and installation security controls and sanity checks on a configuration prepared by an untrusted user. Say you had an application which permitted a local user to create a configuration file for a job. By loading the user created configuration first, then using the installation default configuration to overwrite it, it would be possible to prevent abuse and enforce system wide constraints.
my $array_ref = $cfg->get_stanzas();
If you use a hierarchical configuration file structure, with values assigned to keys inside of stanzas, you can use this method to pull a reference to a list of the stanzas currently defined in your configuration file. In an ini files this would be denoted as [stanza_name], as if it were a one element arrayref.

On January 2nd, 2012 I resolved a long standing documentation bug which I believe (but have in no way confirmed) was introduced by an interface change to Config::Simple.
On January 11th, 2013, I hardened this module by using the interface, rather than the internals of Config::Simple.
It seems that ->inherit will not overwrite a configuration value for a key which does not already exist in the inherited from ->cfg object. That is something which should be easy to rectify but which seems barely outside the scope of this evening's work when I'm supposed to be working on something else which depends on these changes. I had not noticed this prior to these revisions and this may represent regression. Hope this does not break production installations for others. I will try to watch the smoke tests and RT and respond if I see these recent enhancements make problems for folks.
Please report any bugs or feature requests to
bug-config-simple-inherit at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Config-Simple-Extended. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

So, recently I've been talking more and more about the story and lore of gaming. The games that create a rich background and intricate story for you to be a part of. As such I've been talking with a lot of RPers lately. I've been reading very interesting RP posts, and fan fiction stories, and have even begun writing my own for Lodur's background. It can be a lot of fun to think about where your character has been and where they are going and how they might interact with their fellow raiders. This side of the game does appeal to me as I'm an old school D&D Role playing geek. It is however something I haven't fully explored in game yet.
Blizzard has set aside entire servers for people to Role Play with each other, and no I'm not talking about the seedy dirty stuff, but honest interaction between players acting out their characters. There are a few different types of Role Playing you'll come across in the game.
Spontaneous RP
This is a spontaneous act between two or more players who play out a short scenario on the spot. These players typically do not have background stories that cross paths and have a low likelihood of interacting again in a role-playing context. This is coming across someone randomly while questing or bump into in one of the major cities. These RP sessions can sometimes lead to further contact later on and might develop into character friendships later one.
Deliberate / Planned RP
Some role players will set aside specific times to be online to interact with others. This can be in a raid, a group that quests together as a party or simply a meeting in the local inn to throw back a pint or twelve. Many interesting interactions happen here. Friendships are made and lost, sometimes characters pair off in the way of couples, and sometimes they break up and throw bottles at each other. I have a group of friends I talk to on a regular basis that do set aside specific time to role play during the week, and I always enjoy hearing about what happened afterward.
Out of Game RP
Probably one of the more important things to mention here. Out of game RP happens in emails, forums and blog posts. This exists between spontaneous and deliberate RP events and honestly has no true end point. These can serve to flesh out backgrounds for your character, can help turn spontaneous RP encounters into full on character relationships and can really give some creative license to tell a very intricate story. I've seen posts that filled in the gaps of a raid, and some rather humorous explanations for why the group wiped on a particular boss fight. The forum posts I've run across or have been linked to are often the result of people working together in emails to get the story together before it's posted. People have even created twitter accounts for their toons so they can RP with other characters through that media as well. The results are almost always a very very fun story to read. It's like being an actor in a movie and really getting into your role, or playing out a scene in your favorite books. You get to be a part of a story of your making.
The community surrounding MMO's has always interested me, it's one of the most important reasons I got into MMOs in the first place. We make friends as we play the game (or enemies) and we get to share our triumphs and defeats. There's something very gratifying about working with 24 friends and downing a big nasty boss. The community that has sprung up from the Role Playing elements of Warcraft is very strong as well. The people that RP have most definitely set up a community for themselves (and their characters) within the game. You can sit on twitter and see just how deep the interactions go. To them there is more to the game then the grinding of levels or the end game content. Now it's not to say that all they do is interact in character, many times the OOC (Out Of Character) chat channels are hillarious with the Real Life interactions. It's refreshing sometimes to take a step back and look at the other side of the fence.
Does this mean you'll see posts here about role playing in game? Possibly, depends on how deep down the rabbit hole I go. (or how far @justanna from toomanyannas.com can drag me =P)
So, what about you? Have you tried RPing? Have you ever written a fan fiction about your character? Have you thought about it? What would your characters background be?
That's it for now, I'll have more for you later this week. Until then, Happy healing!

High Noon Rays versus Rangers Showdown
14 Comments
Huge comeback for your guys today. I'll be watching tomorrow to do a little scouting…..
Expect a great ballgame with a renewed running game and a possible clipping of the Rangers mystic.
People forget Cliff Lee is 1-3 against us, if there is a Game 5…..it is going to be a barnburner!
Rays Renegade
This is the Rays that I have been loving all year. They were lose, they pitched, they played good defense, and they got timely hits. Even most of the time when their offense would fail them, they still pitched and caught well.
The first two games were a nightmare.
Strangely enough I feel a load of pressure taken off of me. I know that we are still in a 2-1 deficit, but I feel like the Rangers would rather not face of with the Rays in a winner-takes-all situation at the Trop. They're not gonna beat Price twice.
Davis is going to pitch solidly tomorrow, I think. It'd be superb if we could get a few runs early.
My biggest concern is what the heat is going to be like tomorrow. The Rays have a track record of playing terrible games when it is hot in Arlington.
Just consulted a friend at Bay News 9, and they told me it is now 63 degrees and will hit possibly 87 degrees by game time.
It will not be that same 100+ heat that boiled us like a lobster in June.
I agree totally that the team looked loose, seems to push the pressure off their shests and were having fun, but winning can do that to you in a heartbeat.
Rays Renegade
The best road team in the majors this year just showed everyone why, great win and today maybe we'll see them go to a game 5 decider in Tampa…
The Rays looked like they really clicked last night…looked more like the Rays I remember! The Rangers (and the Yankees!) better look out…
For some reason,this team has stubbed its toes all year long at home against some foes that they should have beaten.
We swept the Rangers at the Trop earlier this season, but those first two games reminded me of the two losses to Baltimore at home less than a week and a half ago.
Hopefully the Baseball Gods will smile on us today and give us a last chance to fulfill some Rays destiny.
Either we win or go home….it is simple now.
Rays Renegade
I am hoping that clicking happens like apair of castinets at a Tex-Mex watering hole in Arlington,Texas today.
Any small deviation from their offensive awakening last night will mean a sad trip home to Tampa Bay.
I am hoping it is not just another trip down the rabbit hole if the Rays do push this series into a Game 5 scenario.
Rays got to remember what got them here and push themselves out of their slumber.
Should be an interesting game today. Another right-hander for the Rays to possibly feast on….maybe.
Rays Renegade
Today kinda went how I called it in my last post. Or at least hoped it.
"Davis is going to pitch solidly tomorrow, I think. It'd be superb if we could get a few runs early."
We got those runs early, and Davis did a superb job of not serving up anything and not allowing the Rangers to mash the ball. The heat did not hurt them either, as it was not nearly as bad.
Hopefully Price is ready for a game 5.
I also think Davis is a better pitcher right now than James Sheilds, but that might not be saying much right now.
Great that Longo got back on track, and that Pena had another solid day for himself.
Glad Maddon finally did the right thing and put Pena again behind Longo to force Texas to pitch to him.
Price will be ready…..You can count on it!
Rays Renegade
Congrats from a Phillies fan. Well done. Can't wait for game 5.
One more steps towards the ultimate goal.
Got a few sandspurs in the way, but hoprfully they are just small obstacles in a better path to destiny.
Thank you for that, and congrats on your red stripes getting to another NLCS.
Rays Renegade
Good luck tonight! It'll make a great comeback story if they pull it off!
That pretty much sums it up in a nice little nutshell. Win and you become the darlings of the ball. Lose and it is a sad tale of gone too soon with all that talent.
I think this team will win it tonight to celebrate the team and the players that will soon be gone away from this team.
Rays Renegade

Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin, who launched a firestorm of controversy after his use of the phrase "legitimate rape" and then ignited further criticism with his comments Tuesday, has said he's going to stay in the race. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
Updated 6:12 p.m. - Rep. Todd Akin (R) did not step aside as the Republican Senate nominee in Missouri, allowing a key preliminary deadline to end his candidacy to come and go.
Akin, who's faced growing clamor from fellow Republicans to end his candidacy amid an uproar over his weekend comments about rape, said he believes it is important for him to press forward with his campaign against incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.
"I want to make one thing absolutely clear: we are going to continue with this race," Akin said on the radio show of Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor and Senate candidate.
Congressman Todd Akin may not drop his Senate bid today, but NBC's Domenico Montanaro reports his real deadline is likely Sept. 25, the date that he would be locked into the ballot. Today is the last day he can drop out of the Missouri Senate race without having to pay ballot costs.
"I've had a chance now to run through a primary. And the party people said that when you run through a primary, we'll be with you."
Akin had until 5 p.m. CST today to resign his Senate nomination without facing any procedural difficulties. He could still withdraw by Sept. 25, though he would have to petition a court to remove his name from the ballot, and have to pay costs associated with reprinting the ballots.
National Republicans have undertaken efforts to force the six-term congressman from the race. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has canceled its advertising reservations, and a pro-Republican super PAC has said it no longer plans to invest in the campaign, either. Top Republican senators have also canceled a planned fundraiser for Akin on Sept. 19.
Akin said he'd seen an influx of small-dollar donations since the initial uproar emerged on Sunday, and he said he'd received supportive calls from other colleagues in Congress, though he did not say who.
More significantly, national Republicans have begun openly agitating for Akin's ouster. Missouri's past five Republican senators released a joint statement today saying "the right decision is to step aside."
Orlin Wagner / AP
Rep. Todd Akin, R-Mo., talks with reporters while attending the Governor's Ham Breakfast at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, Mo.
Akin's controversy stems from comments he made last weekend on "The Jaco Report" on KTVI FOX 2 News, on which he said "legitimate rape" rarely results in pregnancy in victims. Akin has since apologized, and said he was mistaken to assert that rape culdn't result in pregnancy. He released a television ad to that effect this morning.
Republicans had high hopes of beating McCaskill before Akin made his comments over the weekend. But the congressman's persistence in the race could jeopardize the GOP's chances in this key race, which provides one of their best opportunities to achieve the net gain of four seats Republicans need this fall to take control of the Senate in the next Congress.

MUNCIE, Ind (August 6, 2014)-- Hundreds of animals were seized Wednesday from a storefront in Muncie.
More than 700 animals were taken from the facility, including an alligator, parakeets, dwarf hamsters, guinea pigs, corn snakes, two pythons, turtles, hermit crabs, lizards, rats, two hedgehogs, a frog, a parrot and several hundred mice. Officials also found 78 dead mice and one dead hermit crab. The rest of the animals appear to be in good condition, according to staff members at the Muncie Animal Shelter.
Delaware County Director of Animal Care and Services Phil Peckinpaugh says the store was extremely dirty.
"The smell was overwhelming. It could have knocked you over. The sheer volume of animals was also overwhelming. This is definitely the largest seizure of any type of animals we've ever done in the history of Delaware County."
The business where these animals were located is located at 3012 N. Granville Ave. in Muncie. Dan Garonzik was apparently living in the business. He said he wanted to open a pet store at some point in the future. He cooperated with police and criminal charges have not been filed. However, Muncie police say he will face several ordinance violations.
The animals are currently being held at the Muncie Animal Shelter, but Peckinpaugh says he is reaching out to other agencies and rescues for help taking care of the animals until they can find permanent homes. In the meantime, the shelter is accepting donations, including food, cages and heat lamps.

Paul Giamatti is one of my favorite actors. I love how he can jump from genre to genre and make it look effortless. I also love that he'll go from playing the lead in something like HBO's John Adams, to playing a small but memorable role in Duplicity. And on top of that, he was awesome in Michael Davis' gem Shoot 'Em Up. Anyway, over the past decade, Giamatti has played countless roles and he always impresses me.
Which brings me to his latest movie Barney's Version – which opens this weekend in limited release. Based on Mordecai Richler's prize-winning comic novel, the movie is about four decades, two continents, and the three wives of Barney Panofsky (Giamatti). Without saying too much, the film follows Barney's long and colorful life and it's really great. Filled with fantastic performances from Giamatti, Rosamund Pike, Minnie Driver, Rachelle Lefevre, Dustin Hoffman and Scott Speedman, it's a film definitely worth seeing. For more, watch the trailer here.
Anyhow, the other day I got to sit down with Giamatti twice. The first interview was solely about Barney's Version, and the second and more in depth interview was about his career and future projects. So if you'd like to read, listen to, or watch Giamatti talk about his career, how he picks projects, The Goon, The Hangover 2, George Clooney's next movie The Ides of March, HBO's Too Big to Fail (he plays Ben Bernanke), and a lot more, hit the jump:
Before going any further, I'm happy to announce we have a new way of offering our interviews. When we can, we're going to offer our video interviews with a full transcript as well as the MP3 file. This way the reader will have the choice of either reading, listening to, or watching the interview. So if you want to just listen to the interview, click here for the audio. For the video, it's in the player below. And for the full transcript, it's further down the page.
However, since I know some of you just want the highlights, here's a few choice bits of info:
Says he's developing a project with HBO and the BBC about the making of the atomic bomb.
He starts shooting George Clooney's The Ides of March in about a month and a half. When I asked who he plays and what it's about he told me:
"It's a movie that, it's based on a play that George Clooney is directing, and he's going to be in, and it's about two rival political campaigns, and Ryan Gosling plays the sort of, the central character who was the manager of one of these political campaigns. And it's a sort of real study of how those campaigns work. And it's a disturbing study of how they work. But its also very much about his kind of, moral journey. I play the manager of the rival campaign. And I make his life difficult in some ways."
Talked about playing Ben Bernanke (the chairman of the federal reserve) in HBO's Too Big to Fail. It's about "the whole collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Goldman Sachs thing, the whole sort of, you know, two years ago, three years ago now, financial snafu." He got to meet him and describes how he prepared for the role.
Said he just wrapped on The Hangover Part 2. He wouldn't reveal who he plays but said:
"It was true to the script for the most part. They did improv stuff, and they're the experts at it, especially Zac, I mean, well they all were. Brad is too. So they did some. But it was kind of plot pointy stuff that you couldn't play around with too much."
On The Goon, which David Fincher is producing, he said:
"I believe they now have a script for that and so probably at some point it will happen. But you know, they did this sort of teaser thing. And you know, these things take a while to do. And I think it generated enough interest that they then really worked on the script and now there is a script."
And with that, here's the full interview. Hope you like it. Look for more Barney's Version interviews every day this week.
Collider: I just spoke to you a second ago – thank you so much for holding the microphone by the way.
Paul Giamatti: No I kind of enjoy this actually.
I just spoke to you a second ago, and we talked about the project at hand. I'm curious more about…you have been very busy working project to project. What is your criteria for picking projects and knowing you want to be involved in something?
Giamatti: Well, I don't, that's a tough answer because I've never had any kind of plan. I don't… I think that criteria sounds kind of simplistic, but I think that really, the first and foremost, the story has to actually interest me, more than even the character. It just has to because, you know, it's a directorial medium, in a way that acting doesn't matter. The story is the most important thing. So if the story actually engages me and I keep reading the script, because I can't tell you the number of scripts that you get five pages into and then you're done, you know, it's just not, not keeping you reading. So if in the first place I keep reading it, then I'm always aware something is going on, then if i start doing the lines to myself as I read it, something else is going on, and if i get to the end of it, and I enjoyed it, I'm interested, you know? That said, I do look for variety for myself, I'd like to try to do as many different kinds of things as possible because I like all kinds of movies.
Well that's something I really admire about your career. First of all, most people, myself included consider you a great actor.
Something that really impresses me about your work is the diversity, the fact that you can do action movies, and then you're doing period dramas, and bouncing from project to project. Do you sort of, ever think, OK, I just did an action movie, now I want to do something, no action, a lot of talking.
Giamatti: Well I have a sense of thinking, I wouldn't mind doing, blah blah blah. I mean, I may not find that right away, but yeah, I mean, I'm conscious sometimes of thinking, oh it would be me to do something more…whatever it is, so I mean er, that diversity, I'm really lucky that I get to do that. I don't know how it's ended up that way, but I've kind of lucked out in that way. But, if a period thing comes a long, I'm gonna be, my agent or someone will say, you know, we're sending you a period, it's a medieval movie. I'll be sensitized right off the back, going, oh, this will be interesting. If it sucks, I won't do it, but if it's interesting I'll do it, because you just don't get the chance to do stuff like that all the time.
Something that's happened I've noticed in the last five or ten years, has been the jump in quality programming on television. You did something spectacular with John Adams. Did that sort of wet your appetite as to what TV can currently do?
Giamatti: Yeah, absolutely. It totally did. And just looking at the stuff, I don't watch enough of it, but looking at the stuff that exists out there, it seems totally great, absolutely, and I would be, I would totally do more TV stuff.
I was gonna say, have you had any conversations, because obviously, your relationship with HBO after John Adams has to have been good.
Giamatti: Sure, absolutely, and there's a thing that I've been developing with HBO and the BBC about the making of the atomic bomb, that we've been developing. And yes, there is over things that I would love to talk to, not just them, but any number of the cable stuff in particular, not that the network stuff is great too, but the cable stuff seems like they get a little more space to do stuff. But I'm happily interested. If somebody would come to me with something interesting, I'm all for it.
Well I definitely sort of wanna touch on…I looked at IMDb –
Giamatti: Yeah
– before sitting down with you and I noticed like eight, nine things that are in the future for you.
Giamatti: Probably not true a lot of them.
Well some of these are movies like, Win Win, or Ironclad –
Giamatti: They're done. Those are done.
Yeah, totally, or like The Ides of March?
Giamatti: Which will happen in like a month and a half.
Yeah exactly, so can you sort of talk about what you've recently wrapped on and what you're coming up with. Where you are right now with your…
Giamatti: I did a couple of things recently. I did a movie called Too Big To Fail for HBO which is about the whole collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Goldman Sachs thing, the whole sort of, you know, two years ago, three years ago now, financial snafu.
I want to ask you a lot of other questions, but regarding that, is that something that you as an actor go in and say, I wanna research everything that I can about this?
Giamatti: That was something where yes, it's always a case by case thing, but this was definitely something I said I do need to research this. Because I don't know enough about it, to my shame, I admit it, I don't understand a lot of things about economics. And the character I was playing, I felt like I needed to find out a lot about this guy. I play Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the federal reserve, who is a very interesting guy, but he's a very very difficult guy to read. I mean, if you've ever seen him in public he's impenetrable. So i thought I have to somehow find out more about this guy to see what I can do to sort of activate it. Because he can't be like that off camera. I don't know what he's like off camera.
Did you ever find any audio or video of him off camera?
Giamatti: Well I met him, which was interesting, but I almost felt like the situation of meeting him was like he was on camera again. You know, I mean, like he knew that he was a little bit, I think he closed down a little bit because it was like being scrutinized by a camera by me. But he was a very nice guy. The most interesting stuff that I found was stuff that he did before he was the chairman of a federal reserve, because he was an academic, where he was talking at like, the London School of Economics, and he was much more, he was different because it was a different venue. He was different, and relaxed and more –
When does the project air on HBO?
Giamatti: I don't know, probably this year sometime.
Jumping back in to the other things you were going to mention until I rudely cut you off –
Giamatti: No it's alright, what was I going to mention? I did the second Hangover movie, which I just did in Bangkok, which I think they just wrapped in Bangkok.
Todd made a comment about comparing it to Apocalypse Now, too much money, too much fun. Too much everything.
Giamatti: Ha! A lot of fun definitely, I don't think it quite got to the Apocalypse Now level, that would have been fantastic. My God, I would love to do something like that. You hear about those things and I remember seeing that movie, that documentary, and thinking, my God, I would just love to do something like that. But I just don't feel like that happens any more. I just don't feel like somebody's, a studio's going to let that happen anymore.
You never know…
Giamatti: What could possibly be like that? I imagine like, if you're going to do a Herzog movie or something, maybe it could happen on that happen, if it's going to happen anywhere it's going to be on something like that.
I think it's gonna happen on, someone like Todd, it could happen on that.
Giamatti: It could happen.
Because he has a lot of artistic freedom, and he's not spending so much money that the studio is micro managing. You make like a billion dollars with a comedy or whatever the number was…
Giamatti: You can do whatever you want.
Giamatti: It's true. It would be interesting to see if it would go off the rails that kind of thing like that, but I think the nature of the movie will contribute to it going off the rails, and well, that could go off the rails that kind of movie.
I apologize, I don't actually know who you play or what you did or anything.
Giamatti: You're not supposed to. I don't know that I'm even at liberty talking about it so much.
Well let me ask you, did you have a lot of fun working with the guys?
Giamatti: Yeah, absolutely they were great. It was a really good time.
And let me ask you this: was it very improv or was it very script structured?
Giamatti: It was, it was true to the script for the most part. They did improv stuff, and they're the experts at it, especially Zac, I mean, well they all were. Brad is too. So they did some. But it was kind of plot pointy stuff that you couldn't play around with too much.
Ok, well, I don't want to intrude on that story so I will leave that alone.
Giamatti: Thank you sir.
I have other questions, you're not done yet.
Giamatti: Yeah, go on, please.
What's going on also with The Goon? Is there an update on that?
Giamatti: I believe they now have a script for that and so probably at some point it will happen. But you know, they did this sort of teaser thing. And you know, these things take a while to do. And I think it generated enough interest that they then really worked on the script and now there is a script.
That's with David Fincher right?
Giamatti: Fincher would be producing it, yes. Which would be great. I didn't know the comic book until they sent it me. Did you know it?
I started learning about it more once I heard Fincher was involved.
Giamatti: It's a big deal one. It's got a really big following.
Oh no, totally. So yeah, jumping in to some over things, I believe you're going to Sundance this year?
Giamatti: I am.
So do you enjoy going to the Sundance Film Festival?
Giamatti: I'm ok with it. It depends. You know, yes. It's chaos. It's fun. It's nice to go with a movie like this that is-
We should mention the movie.
Giamatti: It's called Win Win. It's a very nice movie directed by this guy Tom, written and directed by this guy Tom McCarthy who did The Station Agent and The Visitor.
Totally yeah.
Giamatti: And he wrote Up too. He wrote the movie Up. He's a great guy. It's a great movie. The nice thing is, it's not in the competition. It just goes and premieres there. And that's nice because the competition thing can be rough. To have to go through that process can be rough.
What, oh, sorry –
Giamatti: No no.
I was going to say, You've obviously been in so many projects now that I would imagine that you are not anonymous anymore. People are probably recognizing you.
Giamatti: Yeah
Is it something that you enjoy or is it something that you're like shit, it's something that's a part, something that just comes with the job?
Giamatti: It's something that comes with the job. It's something that I accept. I mean, I don't…it's not my favorite thing in the world, but it's nice. People are 99.9% of the time very nice about it. And it's always a respectful, nice thing. So I like my anonymity and my privacy, but it's kind of gone in some way, so you just have to accept it. So it's a nice thing so you just go with it.
What's, after doing so many projects and doing so much stuff, is there a point when you're thinking, I'm taking a six month break to recharge or are you not built that way?
Giamatti: I've done that. I've done that in the past and I will do that again to sometimes stop. I really enjoy working, I like working, I like to be occupied and I like to work. But I've done that in the past. I have more of the ability to do that now, and I'm a little less afraid.
Oh yeah?
Giamatti: If I do it, if I choose to do that, I'll be ok. I have the sense now that I'll be able to find a job again. So to choose to do that I do feel a bit more comfortable. And I have occasionally done that recently. It's a great thing to be able to do.
My last question for you: you mentioned Ides of March which is a project I'm really looking forward to. For people who don't know, could you talk about the project, who you play, who's involved?
Giamatti: It's a movie that, it's based on a play that George Clooney is directing, and he's going to be in, and it's about two rival political campaigns, and Ryan Giamatti: Gosling plays the sort of, the central character who was the manager of one of these political campaigns. And it's a sort of real study of how those campaigns work. And it's a disturbing study of how they work. But its also very much about his kind of, moral journey. I play the manager of the rival campaign. And I make his life difficult in some ways.
Clooney is very good behind the camera.
Giamatti: He is very good behind the camera. I look forward to it.
Exactly. I'm gonna get killed if I don't let you go, so I'm gonna say thank you so much.
Giamatti: Thanks man.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- In today's globally competitive, economically challenged environment, the need for enterprise architecture (EA) is steadily increasing in organizations of all types and sizes. As a result, EA professionals are in high demand in industry, government and nonprofit organizations.
A lack of a commonly accepted career path for enterprise architecture related professional is cited as an area of top concern by many organizations today. The Federation of Enterprise Architecture Professional Organizations (FEAPO), under the direction of Brian Cameron, a professor at Penn State's College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST), has recently announced the initiation of a global effort to define the common core career path structure for EA related professionals.
"This is a major multi-year effort that is greatly needed as part of the evolution of the profession of enterprise architecture," said Cameron, executive director of the Center for Enterprise Architecture at the College of IST and founding President of FEAPO. Enterprise architecture is the analysis and design of an enterprise in its current and future states from a strategy, organizational and technology perspective. The goal of enterprise architecture is to improve organizational performance by delivering business-aligned enterprise systems.
Founded by Cameron in 2011, FEAPO is a worldwide association of professional organizations which have come together to provide a forum to standardize, professionalize and otherwise advance the discipline of enterprise architecture. The organization is developing documents that will be released over the next year-and-a-half to two years that will provide descriptions of various EA professions and outline related roles and competencies. Visit www.feapo.org for more information on the EA career path effort.
The purpose of the Center for Enterprise Architecture, which was established in January 2011, is to gather intellectual resources across Penn State to address open and important research concerns and questions that span the design, functioning and governance of contemporary, information-driven enterprises. Through multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research methods, the center looks to address large-scale applications such as health care informatics, large service-based and manufacturing firms, nonprofit initiatives, federal and state government transformation, and the design of homeland security agencies. Visit ea.ist.psu.edu for more information on the Center for EA.
