Introducing Mechscale VRIntroducing Mechscale VR
October 05, 2016
I'm pleased to announce a new game I'm working on for the HTC Vive called MechScale!
I'm going to try and post frequent-ish updates in dev blog form, here's the first update:
Here a little info about how the mech is rigged. Right now if you watch the video you're seeing the rig itself, but this will be replaced by a proper mech model.
The head and hands are driven directly from the Vive Controllers. The position of the body and the pelvis are estimated from that. I wrote a simple Two-Joint IK solver for unity that solves the elbow angles and knees (based on the hand and foot positions).
Then, I have a footstep controller that places the feet. I calculate where the footsteps would be if the mech was standing still there. Basically just to the right and left of the body so the center of gravity is between them. This is the "ideal" foot position. If the foot is currently near enough to this, I just leave it, but if it's past a certain distance I just animate it to the ideal pos with a simple stepping motion. To make it look more like walking, one one foot is allowed to be stepping at a time, so if one is already stepping, the other waits for it to finish.
It works pretty nicely and I'm planning to use the same thing on some of the enemies, too. One of the enemies is a horse-sized robotic spider thing, that should look pretty cool with this footstep logic. Also will be fun to step on.
If you have any questions or suggestions about the game, please ping me on twitter or email, or use the comment box below, and I'll try to address them in a future blog!

Appearance: Weather girl. Tousled, leggy, TV type with large lips. Ulrika Jonsson meets Esther Rantzen in horsey harmony.
Social Mountaineer: Ponies and weather forecasts can be the perfect starting blocks for the upwardly mobile - see "Galloping" Major Ronald Ferguson and socialite par excellence Tania Bryer. Devon dentist's step-daughter, Sally learned to ride at the age of five, steps out with the South Devon Hunt, and has an amateur jockey's licence. She first hit the screen by writing to Jim'll Fix It - at age 21. With a reputation for ferocious ambition and a steely desire for fame, Ms Faber appears in Nigel Dempster's column with startling regularity for an extremely small-time television presenter. If horses and cold fronts are reliable celebrity vehicles, suitable men are Formula One winners. See below.
Suitable Boys: While at secretarial college in Oxford, Sally met old Etonian David Faber, grandson of Harold Macmillan and later a very rich Tory MP. She "pursued him with great determination - he didn't have a chance," notes an Oxford contemporary rather sourly. The couple wed in 1988. Next on the scene was the world's most celebrated cad, James Hewitt, who comforted Sally between 1992 and 1993. "Sally was looking for someone with more feeling, warmth and understanding," said The Cad after their split. Hewitt was named as co- respondent in David Faber's divorce case. A pre-marital fling with Viscount Althorp then came to light, followed by an affair with undersized "society" snapper Fergus Greer. "I am aware she is pregnant but I'm sure it's not me," says Greer. Greer's former girlfriend Scarlett Lacey on Sally: "She is always gallivanting around." There is also a friendship with the millionaire polo player Brook Johnson.
Suitable Girl: Sally and her four-year-old son now live with one Tracey, estranged wife of racing trainer Kim Bailey.
Fame Prospects: Sita White, just one of the many fleeting names which spring to mind, was treated to a media feeding frenzy followed by thunderous indifference. Sally should name the mystery father of her child, ring Nigel Dempster with the news, then seduce Will Carling. That should keep her in the papers for another week.

~ Food Has Power ~
Must look at current research in PubMed. MTHFR just identified around 1998, variants in 2001 and 2003. 35-50% of Americans affected with this gene polymorphism. Mandatory folic acid fortification in our foods since January 1, 1998.
Mark Hyman, MD (has MTHFR, iirc) has been making connections.
And Stephen Smith, MD:
And Neil Rawlins. MD (has MTHFR, iirc):
And Joel Fuhrman, MD:
"We" mandate folic acid in prenatal vitamins and this is not metabolized properly by the 40% of the population with MTHFR and thus food folate is less able to be utilized. Concurrently, we are having increased rates of impaired detoxification (with MTHFR and impaired methylation due to folic acid fortification) and increased ASD (which has some genetic connection).

Holy Moly, this is one lab I regret googling! All of a sudden I feel like I am at the bottom of a cliff, wondering how to get up it.
On the positive side, knowledge beats repeatedly seeking help from the regular Doctor's office (as opposed to the Functional Medicine Doctor) and keep getting brushed aside with band-aid prescriptions and no answers, or things to try.
I'll have to start reading, even though it looks like it is enough material to last a whole semester.

Consider starting an "About Me" thread in the Wellness Forum with your history, health issues, alternatives you tried... we'll chime in to help trouble-shoot.
This meta-analysis demonstrates an association between the MTHFR C677T variant and depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, raising the possibility of the use of folate in treatment and prevention.
"High tHcy but low folate and vitamin B12 levels may be a risk factor for development of bipolar disorder."
Many antipsychotic pharmaceuticals are detoxified by the CYP450 gene/enzyme which is commonly an issue with bipolar, also.
Additionally, antipsychotics often impair folate absorption.
Bipolar aggression can be related to folate deficiency. NOT "folic acid", the synthetic vitamin. Folate as 5-MTHF or food folate: beans, greens, liver and legumes.

Rosenbaum's Shakespeare Wars continues to be the most serendipitous book I've ever read. By that I mean that I'm never quite sure when I'll turn the page into a new chapter and he'll be talking about something I was just talking about two days ago. In this case it's the "When I shall die" line (as opposed to "When he shall die") that we talked about last month. Certainly it's supposed to be "Give me my Romeo, and when he shall die, cut him out in little stars…." rather than the version Luhrman gives us, "When I shall die, cut him out in little stars…." After all, if he's not dead, why are you cutting him up? Oddly, though, my googling showed that most Shakespeare versions do in fact have it as I, not he. Rosenbaum gets to this near the end of his book, speaking of a trip to Bermuda. He even points out that most editors do indeed go with the "he" version (which is apparently Fourth Quarto) because the "I" version makes no sense. And what Rosenbaum offers (not his own hypothesis, but rather one he heard, though I do not have the book handy to quote the original author) immediately makes sense to me, I'm just not sure if I love or hate it. He goes back to the more bawdy version of "die", namely "orgasm". He says that Juliet, a mere 13 yrs old and not married, is to put it bluntly thinking about wedding sex, and how good it's going to be. You have to admit, if you make that little word translation, it still fits. Now you've got an anxious young girl, in love but also certainly in lust, waiting for that big moment when … ummm….hmm, how can we say this and keep it clean? Shall we say, when she gets to consummate her marriage? It's going to be so good, she tells herself, that all she'll see are stars, and her Romeo. (I'm not sure when all the rest of the world comes into it, though?) I love it because it works, pretty much. It's somewhat crude, it's the sort of thing you don't talk about when you talk about the story like it's the greatest love story ever told, but sex is certainly a part of that type of love, and it's certainly believable that a virginal bride-to-be is contemplating what it will be like. (Now that I've seen that interpretation, other parts begin to fall into place – "I have bought the mansion of a love, but not possessed it, and though I am sold, not yet enjoyed"???) I hate it because it destroys what I consider to be one of the most romantic lines in the entire play. It's an opportunity for Juliet to explain how much Romeo means to her. Normally it's the guy spouting all the poetry and the "You're my world" stuff. Sometimes it's nice to hear it back the other way. What would Juliet do without Romeo? She would repaint the heavens in his image, and the rest of world would say, "Wow, yeah, we like that better. Who is that guy?" 🙂 Thoughts? Nobody mentioned the sex interpretation the first time we discussed that line, so I'm curious if it is a popular interpretation.
Romeo and Juliet
Happy Anniversary, Romeo and Juliet?
According to many "this day in history" sites March 11, 1302 is Romeo and Juliet's wedding anniversary.
It's not. In the opening scenes Lady Capulet tells us that it is "a fortnight and odd days until Lammas-tide", which puts the play's timeline in July.
Romeo and Juliet : How old is Romeo?
There's a simple question. How old is Romeo? Sure, we all know that Juliet is 13, the Nurse comes right out and tells us. And often I think that we then make the leap and assume that Romeo is 13 as well.
But that's hardly true, is it? Would that imply that Mercutio, Tybalt and Paris are also all about 13? Surely it was the case that men simply chose younger wives (Capulet is much older than his wife, is he not?), and actually we can assume that Romeo and the others are what, maybe late teens, early 20's?
It wouldn't stage well these days to point out that age difference, of course. I can just imagine R&J being closed down because it promotes pedophilia or something. But honestly I'm cool with it (the age difference, not the pedophilia!) The more I read the play, the more I appreciate that Juliet is the most mature person in it. That she's 13, surrounded by people generations older than her, is quite impressive. I don't need to make her older to justify anything, and I don't need to make Romeo younger to get it to balance out.
Romeo can be older and still be rash and impetuous. Juliet can be young and be the smart one. Better than trying to imagine 13yr old Tybalt saying, "I hate the word as I hate Hell…."
While looking at the trivia for Luhrman's movie, I learned something interesting. Apparently Natalie Portman auditioned for the role of Juliet. But because of her small frame, in her words, "Leonardo looked like he was molesting me." The director said the same thing I said above, only backwards — "Leonardo was 21, but could look 18 – and she made him look 21." In other words he looked too old, not that she looked too young. So that certainly backs up the idea that you have to cast R&J of roughly equivalent ages to avoid squicking out your audience.
Understanding Shakespeare : Romeo and Juliet
I'm convinced that Shakespeare's work can be downright entertaining if it can be understood. I think that the emphasis on "Memorize first, and never see the movie" really ruins it. Understanding Shakespeare is all about getting the story across. Shakespeare wrote real people in real situations, and if you can point this out to the audience and hook them at that level, the language comes easily.
So in the spirit of putting my money where my mouth is, let's talk about Romeo and Juliet. For the moment just the first scene, since obviously I can't cover the whole play in one blog post.
Two men, Sampson and Gregory, enter. They're "Capulet", meaning that they are probably some servant of the house. If you want to think in West Side Story terms, imagine them as all members of the same gang. They banter back and forth, making some fairly ancient jokes that you're unlikely to get but might be able to figure out if you were to see it performed. Let's just say that by the time Sampson gets to the line about "thrusting Montague's maidens to the wall" and being cruel when he cuts off their maidenheads, you can take a pretty good guess at what he's talking about.
The real fun comes when Balthazar and Abraham, who are Montagues, wander into the picture. Now thus far Sampson and Gregory have just been full of talk. Sure they've been saying some pretty big things about what they'll do to the Montague men (before doing it to their women), but now here are two of them right in front of them. How do the Capulet men react? Sampson "bites his thumb" at them as they pass by. This isn't really the same obscene gesture now that it was then, so feel free to insert "flips his middle finger." Gets the same point across. He tries to lure the Montagues into starting something.
The next exchange I have seen played for comedy, where both sides are just big talkers, but it's also often played with some serious violence, screamed at the top of lungs. Whatever floats your boat. Either there's some major tension where you just know somebody's about to get hurt, or you come to realize that this has happened dozens of times in the past and both sides are really just acting out their parts.
The Montagues come over and ask, "Did you just bite your thumb at us?"
"I did bite my thumb, " says Sampson.
"Did you bite your thumb at us," asks Abraham again.
Sampson turns to Gregory and asks, "Is the law on my side if I say aye?" Here's the crucial moment. Both want to say that the other started it, neither wants to be the first to draw (or use) a weapon. Gregory correctly answers, "No." If you bit your thumb at him, then you started the fight. Sampson backpeddles, "I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I do bite my thumb, sir!" How snide is that response? "Nope, I was just sitting here with my middle finger up in the air. Wasn't directing at you, I just like to stick it up there and wave it around…"
Gregory steps up and asks of the Montagues, "Do you quarrel?" In other words, "Are you looking to start something?" Is Gregory here actually trying to get the Montagues to walk on by? Not really. You'll see…
"Me?" replies Abraham, "No, not me, I'm not looking at start anything." The Montagues actually come off well, here, and quite possibly would have walked away.
Sampson makes what is ultimately the losing move when he says, "I'm just saying that if you want to start something, I'm standing right here. I serve as good a man as you."
Abraham has him now. "No better?"
Sampson thought he was saying the proper thing in defending the honor of his house, and Abraham has trapped him. If he says "Better", in other words yes, I think that my master Capulet is better than your master Montague, then the fight is on – and Sampson will have started it. But if he says no, Montague is not better than Capulet, then he dishonors his house.
Gregory saves him when he spots some more Capulets coming. "Say better!" he says, knowing that the odds are in their favor. See, I told you that Gregory wasn't trying to avoid the fight. He was just waiting for it to be an unfair fight.
Sampson needs no more prompting. "Yes, better!" he says, and the fight is on.
Enter more representatives from both sides, Benvolio of the Montagues (sort of), and Tybalt of the Capulets. That's a mismatch. Benvolio is the peacemaker, trying to beat down the swords of both sides. Tybalt, on the other hand, sees the fight as a great opportunity and tries to help his side win it. Tybalt, as we quickly learn, is pretty single minded in his hatred of the Montagues. "What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee: Have at thee, coward!" Those are some pretty strong words given that he just walked in on this argument 3 seconds ago.
Anyway, the fight does not go on long as now the crowds are beginning to gather and the heads of both houses come running out to see what's going on. The Prince provides the law and order here, and gives us our major plot point — if he catches anybody from either side fighting in the streets again, then they're dead men. ("If ever you disturb our streets again, our lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.") Don't forget this, it's going to become a major problem for our hero Romeo right around Act III, Scene i.
So that's my version of the first scene. It's actually quite entertaining when you see it performed. I highly recommend checking out one of the movies to see it for yourself. The Zeffirelli version is considered the classic, but I say if the Leonardo DiCaprio version is more what floats your boat (lots of screaming in this one, and guns), then go for it and don't pay any attention to the critics.

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Marriage of Opposites and The Dovekeepers comes a soul-searching story about a young woman struggling to redefine herself and the power of love, family, and fate.
Growing up on Long Island, Shelby Richmond is an ordinary girl until one night an extraordinary tragedy changes her fate. Her best friend's future is destroyed in an accident while Shelby walks away with the burden of guilt.
What happens when a life is turned inside out? When love is something so distant it may as well be a star in the sky? Faithful is the story of a survivor filled with emotion, from dark suffering to true happiness - a moving portrait of a young woman finding her way in the modern world. A fan of Chinese food, dogs, bookstores, and men she should stay away from, Shelby has to fight her way back to her own future. In New York City she finds a circle of lost and found souls - including an angel who's been watching over her ever since that fateful icy night.
Here is a character you will fall in love with, so believable and real and endearing that she captures both the ache of loneliness and the joy of finding yourself at last. For anyone who's ever been a hurt teenager, for every mother of a daughter who has lost her way, Faithful is a road map.
Alice Hoffman's "trademark alchemy" (USA Today) and her ability to write about the "delicate balance between the everyday world and the extraordinary" (WBUR) make this an unforgettable story. With beautifully crafted prose, Alice Hoffman spins hope from heartbreak in this profoundly moving novel.
©2016 Alice Hoffman (P)2016 Simon & Schuster
"Amber Tamblyn's crisp, emphatic narration draws the listener into Hoffman's latest novel.... Tamblyn fully conveys Shelby's growth from listless despair to harsh edginess to aching hope. Her voice cracks with longing, sadness, bitterness, and resignation, then lifts as Shelby heals. Her narration distinguishes characters with variations of tone and pitch as well as subtle accents, creating a satisfying listening experience that Hoffman fans will relish." (AudioFile)
Canadian girl in Kansas, love audible, books on kindle or kindle fire, and old fashioned books! I enjoy fiction most, mostly books with strong female leads. Favourite authors: Diana Gabaldon, Stephen King, Jodi Picoult, Wally Lamb, Pat Conroy, Andre Dubus III, Lisa Genova, many more!
"Extremely Depressing Coming of Age Story"
We have two teen girls who get into an horrific car accident, and while one survives, the other is put on life support for years as her mother waits for her to wake up. The surviving teen goes into a deep depressing with severe survivors remorse. She cuts off all of her hair, tries to kill herself, and lives like a recluse. She seeks comfort in booze and drugs and has no purpose in life.
We follow her life as she starts to open up again. She becomes involved in relationships, she gets a job, she makes friends, she falls in love with animals and she goes to school. We follow her while she makes peace with the fact that it's not her fault that she is alive and her best friend is a vegetable.
The book has beautiful prose and it's a very feeling book. Hoffman has a real knack for tugging on the heart strings and getting into the minds of people who can relate to having depressing feelings. It's just that- well, the book is extremely depressing. I shed a couple of tears.
Very good fiction if you like stories that are fairly upsetting.
"A Story of Healing"
This is a story of dealing with guilt and grief. The characters are honest and I was left with feeling hopeful at the end of the book. We are all flawed. We all have things in our last we have to overcome. We can move on. The narration could have been better but this was an enjoyable listen.
"The only is you won't want to stop listening"
It took me 3 days to read this wonderful story. You grieve for Shelby root for he on her path for redemption-- From death to love. Alice Hoffman's book has themes of mother / daughter love, finding one's self or identity and what is alive. Enjoy.
"It's okay"
I thought the story dragged along and I didn't quite care for the main character. She just wasn't someone I rooted for throughout story. You slowly become addicted to it. But it took me three starts.
"Would not recommend"
Tiresome and the story felt like a paint-by-numbers plot involving a cliched "damaged" girl who is rescued by the love of others, especially cardboard decent boyfriends. Wanted to bail but finished because it was relatively short and the narrator did a good job with the material.
"Not great"
The beginning of Faithful got me interested, but by the end of the book I didn't really care what happened. The story lacked depth, though the concept had great potential. I was really surprised at how little I cared, as I have enjoyed other Alice Hoffman books. Tamblyn's narration here was hard to take as well. The description that comes to mind is forced-sounding monotony. Her narration lacked inflection and in my opinion conveyed a sense of apathy. A disappointment.
Godiva Bacci
Faithful: notions of fidelity weave in and out of the book. Hoffman delivers again - a sweet character portrait well read. And a number of lovely canine characters that win you over.
"Good story"
Good story and well performed. The characters resonated with me. I could feel the things they were going through. Well done.

Three Steelers earn Pro Bowl honors
Pouncey was named to the team as a backup to starter Nick Mangold of the Jets.
Also making the team for Pittsburgh were strong safety Troy Polamalu and outside linebacker James Harrison.
Both have been selected to the Pro Bowl in previous seasons.
7 comments:
Wallace must be the first alternate at WR. Too bad he didn't make the cut. I wouldn't be surprised if Hampton and Timmons are high on the alternate list too.
- Steve-O said...
Congrats to Pouncey, Polamalu and Harrison! All 3 are deserving of the honor, however I can't help but feel for Lawrence Timmons and Mike Wallace. Both guys are difference makers and a big reason for the Steeler's successful run to the playoffs. I guess that's just the nature of the beast.
- Dale Lolley said...
It's tough to make the cut at WR. You could make an arguement that he's been better than Brandon Lloyd, but Wayne, Johnson and Bowe have been pretty damn good,
ILB is Ray Lewis and somebody else each year. This year it was Mayo, even though New England's defense doesn't really stop anybody. - 11:37 PM
The real snub here is Woodley not making it, not Wallace.
woodley's season has been really subpar. Suggs has been playing way better than him
I'm really not shocked about pouncey, his name has been heard and he is going the way the players he is backing up in the probowl
kid's gonna be a star - 12:35 AM
- kyle said...
what bothers me about Ray Lewis making it every year is he hasn't been a top ten ILB in over 5 years. He makes like two splash plays on national tv (usually a fluky interception and a "doing his job" fill the gap tackle for a loss) and then does his typical jump on the pile tackle theft. Then he makes the pro bowl. And when he gets put in the hall in his first year they'll mention his 70 pro bowls as evidence of how good he was. He was good. He hasn't been that good in half a decade.
- Homegrown Misanthropist said...
He's really fat though, looks like Big Snack and has his own ads like Polamalu. Bowe has had a good season but I have never seen a WR drop as many passes as he has, and I am not talking about last season I am talking about this season. OK I have seen another player do that, Braylon Edwards.

nisei23 – elevenandtwelve
Nisei23's recent album was born as a MIDI experiment 3 years ago. It's his second full length release on rec72 and it's worth that while! Because you'll see drones and gravity's rainbow after listening elevenandtwelve, that wild electronic shoe-gazer star. Most of the playing – synths, pianos, guitars – has been improvised on an iPhone, recorded simultaneously on a computer and edited afterwards. nisei23's album contains thirteen titles (+5o minutes).
Tokyo Song was the only song from the elevenandtwleve sessions [when Soft Shapes album come to existence] that seemed to fit with the new songs I was creating. So I decided to use that title as reference to this new way of working that I had developed. Also the majority of the song were recorded or composed in 2011 and 2012 so it seemed to fit.
Tracklist elevenandtwelve album
01. Double Helix
02. The Return
03. Cut Out

05. Pale Imitation

07. Gymnopedie 2

Susceptibility testing is commonly employed in patients with bacterial infections in order to guide rational use of antibiotics; however, the use of antifungal susceptibility testing is limited due to lack of availability, costs, and delays in receiving results. The goals of antifungal susceptibility testing should mirror those of antibacterial susceptibility testing: to predict clinical response or failure. Additionally, susceptibility reports should be used as a guide for physicians when transitioning patients from parenteral to oral antifungal agents. Currently, it is unknown whether antifungal susceptibility testing impacts treatment decisions in hospitals that routinely perform Candida susceptibility testing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes in antifungal treatment based on in vitro susceptibility reports and how these decisions affect mortality, recurrence of infection, and length of hospital stay in candidemia patients.

How To Write Admission EssaysSo, the first thing you should do while writing admission essay is to forget general rules for academic papers� formats and research to support your essay. This is because admission essay introduces you to an admission committee which does not know anything about you except your admission essay writing. They do not care of your knowledge about academic formats and they do not aim to evaluate your research skills. The only thing which might interest them is your way of thinking, analyzing, ideas and original writing. The following things will help you to prepare for successful admission essay writing: Think about your motivation (why do you want to study the subjects you have chosen? Why are you applying this college/university?). Think of your future skills and knowledge which you are going to gain in order to contribute this area of study (how are you going to develop the main idea of your study purpose? Do you have any plans for your future career? Can you see how you may contribute the college/university during your study?). Be ready to present your ideas originally; think of how you can start your admission essay in order to keep a reader�s interest to your writing up to the end (leave introduction rules away, do not summarize, start your essay with an original question which will draw attention of the admission committee). Think of the topics you can develop from your admission essay (do remember you are going to study and research the topics that interest you for a few years; what topics may be interesting for research and can be developed from your ideas presented in admission essay?). Think of bright and original vocabulary to be used in your essay (you will have to look different if you want to be approved). While you are thinking about your personal statement development, please do not forget to sketch a preliminary list of topics you would like to research and study. It will help you to present clearer and more perspective personal statement; and it will show the admission committee your idea of considerable contribution into college/university (do remember that a college/university reputation is the primary thing the admission committee care about). If you have already thought of your original personal statement, perspective ideas, interests, contributions, future research and study topics, outlines and your vocabulary, then you are ready to write.

Abstract: | Taking usage-based construction grammar and Talmy's five-strategy model of semantic conflict resolution as its theoretical framework, this paper addresses the interplay between construal operations (Croft & Wood 2000) and semantic conflict resolution in anomalous instances of the relatively unexplored English [too ADJ to V]-construction. The anomaly in question stems from construction-lexeme incompatibility and constrution-lexeme repulsion. Drawing on a questionnaire analysis in which native-speaker respondents offer their readings of anomalous instances of the construction, the paper discusses strategies of semantic construction-lexeme conflict resolution with a view to inferring construal operations involved therein. The findings suggest 1) the sense selection should be added as a sixth strategy in Talmy's model, and 2) that metonymy may be a particularly "popular" shift subtype. |

Seth Owusu arrived in L.A. last weekend and immediately joined Chivas USA in training -- he went directly from the airport to a session, coach Robin Fraser reported -- but he's not officially with the team yet and won't be until his paperwork clears Major League Soccer's desk.
It took more than a month for approval to arrive on loan deals bringing in goalkeeper Sergio Arias and winger Francisco "Panchito" Mendoza, a former Goats regular, from Guadalajara, the parent club. Word came down this week on both, and the club finally announced their acquisitions Wednesday.
Mendoza is a likely starter, and Arias figures to back up returning starter Zach Thornton -- but let's wait and see. Club president/managing partner Antonio Cué called Arias, at 22 one of Mexico's most highly regarded young keepers, "the future of Chivas USA" at a uniform-unveiling party in Los Angeles last month.
The agreement to bring in Owusu, a 22-year-old Ghanaian defender coming on loan from Tarkwa-based Medeama FC, was completed several weeks ago, and he had been awaiting his visa and other paperwork since.
Owusu, whose physique and athleticism make quick impressions, trained with Chivas' reserves Saturday while the first team played a friendly against UCLA, and he trained with the full team for the first time Tuesday. Fraser, who had scouted him for at least a year, is just starting to get a sense of what Owusu will provide.
"He's traveled a long way," Fraser said. "I think it's tough whenever you travel that long and immediately get into a training session. ... I think he's still getting himself adjusted. He's pretty quiet, but he's pretty intense. He came in with a good attitude, wants to do whatever he can to help the team. He listens and works hard. That's pretty much all I can tell you so far."
Owusu, a burgeoning Ghanaian national-teamer who has experience at left back and in central defense, figures to partner Jimmy Conrad in the middle of the backline, forcing Costa Rican defender Michael Umaña into a reserve role.
Conrad's first impression: "I was like, 'Man, that is a man-mountain.' He's a big dude. He's quick and strong -- it's not even fair, the gene pool he's in and the one I'm playing in."
Fraser had described Owusu to Conrad and others in glowing terms, and Conrad said he's "everything I thought he'd be. ... He's just got to get more comfortable, and I'm sure he'll get a little more vocal, and, obviously, when you play in the back, communication is a big part of it. So I expect that to come slowly as he eases himself in the group."
Owusu, who trialed in Europe over the winter, says he's looking forward to playing for Chivas -- but the club clearly is a steppingstone.
"When I first hear I'm coming here, I feel very great," he said. "Also, USA's a nice place to be, so I tell myself after here I will see myself in a very big club in Europe." But first: "I want to help Chivas achieve what they want."
Chivas spokesman David Lindholm says the club expects to officially announce Owusu before the week is up, and the club is confident his, Arias' and Mendoza's International Transfer Certificates will be in hand by the March 19 opener against Sporting Club Kansas City at Home Depot Center.
PADILLA GONE: Jesus Padilla is no longer in Chivas's plans, and the club will announce Wednesday night or Thursday that his contract has not been renewed, a club official said. The 24-year-old forward/midfielder, who was born in San Jose but moved to Mexico as a teen and emerged from Guadalajara's youth system, started 25 of 39 games with the Goats the past two seasons. Last season he played in 26 games, with 14 starts, and scored six goals, second-best on the team.
Padilla was surplus after the Goats boosted their depth and talent during the offseason and Mariano Trujillo, the starting right back last season, was moved to midfield last month.
His departure will leave Chivas with 28 players, and interim general manager Jose Domene is looking to place midfielders Bryan de la Fuente, 18, and Cesar Zamora, 19, in loan deals, so that's 26. The Goats are expected to carry 28 players, and there are four trialists in camp, with midfielder Guillermo "Memo" Torres, the younger brother of U.S. national-teamer Jose Francisco Torres, looking most likely to win a deal.
WORTH NOTING: Chivas' U.S. Open Cup qualifying opener against Portland will be played March 29 at the University of Portland's Merlo Field. Think of it as a homecoming for defender Heath Pearce, who played college ball for the Pilots. … Midfielder Simon Elliott and defender Andrew Boyens have been called up by New Zealand's national team for friendlies March 25 at China and March 29 at Japan. Vancouver Whitecaps rookie defender Michael Boxall (UC Santa Barbara), who is uncapped, also is on the 30-man preliminary roster, which will be trimmed to 22 before the matches. ... Chivas plays its final preseason friendly Saturday night at FC Dallas.

Lehmann's cultural remedy for Australia
Australia's new coach Darren Lehmann has pushed the importance of fun and a balanced perspective on life to remedy a team culture that has variously been described as toxic, insular, selfish, undisciplined, and just plain stupid. Lehmann has openly desired the national coaching job for quite some time, but given that it has fallen into his lap a mere two weeks before the first Investec Ashes Test, his initial message to the touring team could not afford to be elaborate.
Upon the squad's arrival in the medieval town centre of Taunton, Lehmann sat down his players and staff to set out a simple but clear direction for the Australian team, both on the field and off it. Relieving the tension of the past few days in Bristol and London was high on Lehmann's list of priorities, while also ensuring focus shifted instantly to Wednesday's tour match against Somerset.
"Hopefully with the enjoyment factor, we'll get that going for a start," Lehmann said of the culture he wished to create. "When you start winning games you have a lot of fun so we need to start winning some games, simple as that. It's about getting all the lads and everyone in a direction we want to go. We're going one way and that is forward and everything starts afresh.
"It's about life as well, it's a game of cricket. It's important we have success and play well but it's a small part of your life, so we've got to make sure we are helping them grow their lives on and off the ground, that is really important to me. Family is a big part of it, enjoying each other's company while we're away, and learning about ourselves and different cultures and different people we have in the team.
"I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a job I loved and wanted to do because I fell in love with coaching the first day I started with an IPL franchise. It just probably happened in different circumstances that it comes across my path right now."
That path will now include grappling with the various complications of mentoring a national team in 2013, including the influx of Twenty20 money that has muddled the priorities of numerous young players. The absolutes of Lehmann's time, as a player who had to carve out nigh on 10,000 first-class runs before making his Test debut, have been replaced by greys like the lavish IPL money on offer to cricketers who have not yet grooved their games.
When referring to numerous matters of club versus state versus country issues, Australia's team performance manager Pat Howard remarked last summer that "no-one owns the players now". Lehmann though spoke with typical confidence about sculpting the natural talent at his disposal into competitive, thoughtful and loyal cricketers.
"The priority for us is Australia, that's every player that is playing any form, their first right is with Australia," Lehmann said. "We want to pick the best side each and every time and we'll worry about the other franchises and issues as we go through.
"We're guided by CA and selectors along the way and that's part and parcel of being a new-age cricketer. One thing I will say, they're a lot better athletes that I was in my day and it's just about teaching them and coaching them the best way to play the game in different situations."
Brad Haddin, Australia's vice-captain, said Lehmann's imprint on the team should soon be evident, starting with the respect he already engendered for his playing career and domestic coaching. "Darren's got experience at all levels, as a player, a successful coach and a good person, and he's known for that around Australian cricket and world cricket," He said. "I think he'll come into this environment comfortable with where he's at and comfortable with where he wants to take the team."

I got a simple question here,"WHY is it such a big taboo for the OZs to play two genuine spinners?" I mean give Agar a go as well.3 seamers with a Watson should be enough pace arsenal then Lyon or Ahmed can be the second spinner.I'm sure Swann and Monty will both play together regularly in the whole series.Agar can hold his own with the bat take 2 or 3 wkts regularly,in short he is all O'Keefe never will got to be at the highest level.
Paceman49 on June 26, 2013, 13:08 GMT
I have a feeling that if Australian batsmen don't go fishing at balls that should be left alone they will do well.Most bowled is actually played on.Batsmen who do not play with bat close to pad or getting behind the line of the ball are prone to such dismissals.Aussie bowling will have to be disciplined and bowl in the channel just outside off stump.Stay off the leg stump and they will be okay.
dummy4fb on June 26, 2013, 11:54 GMT
I think Aussies will progress lot better under DL[FUN-LOVING] as a coach compared 2 Aurthur who was more of a copy-book coach. DL has always been magnanimous as evident in his playing days when he made way for youngsters even in his peak days as a player. i think clarke should take a cue from DL when it comes 2 supporting his players. U cant spk publicly against ur players as he did against warner after d pub episode chiding him saying-this is not a ipl team,as if one is allowed 2 have a brawl there. i think watson would have been a better choice as a skipper.
dummy4fb on June 26, 2013, 10:11 GMT
Gone are the days of "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Lillee does not get you, Thompson must" Now for Australia is a case of again rising from the ashes. But history tells us that often those who take out those in ashes are often ignored. Hope that will not happen to new coach.
YorkshirePudding on June 26, 2013, 10:07 GMT
@ozwrite, to a point you are correct however, Lehmann hasnt had any input into the squad in England, but we could see a swing in the Winter tour down under away from the 'favorites', I suspect we'll see a lot more of usman khawaja this summer possibly at first or second drop, rather than Hughes.
I also suspect Agar may be prefered over Lyon at somepoint.
ozwriter on June 26, 2013, 9:37 GMT
lehmann is going to select on talent and form, not on favourtism and being the coach/captains pet. "We want to pick the best side each and every time". this must be worrying news for 'hughesy', 'wadey' and 'eddie'. surely they should be nowhere near the first XI team.
Kulaputra on June 26, 2013, 9:33 GMT
The moment you said fun, DL, you have a place in my heart. Cricket is played for fun and a coach is the vehicle you use to go to the stadium.
if DL can make sure cricket is played for fun, Aussie cricket has a bright future.
anver777 on June 26, 2013, 9:33 GMT
Let's see whether Lehmann's regime can do any changes with this nose diving Aus team..... Ashes is a big test for him !!!!!!!
dummy4fb on June 26, 2013, 9:24 GMT
Listen to what Ian Chappel said in his interview to Espncricinfo and I totally agree with him that is, the coach doesn't bat, bowl or field its the Cricketers and most importantly if these are the bunch of guys who have played hell a lot of domestic cricket and got a lot of exposure, then why should they lose? Its not right to say that Australia is weak and don't have the players who can match the calibre of Ponting or Hussey or Langer or Waugh! Rather identify the players who look promising and think about their country first and then IPL...
11_Warrior on June 26, 2013, 7:57 GMT
if we look at the future, it is good that DL is appointed about 30 month prior to next WC. He will get fairchance to show, what is he up to.

I would not have _GNU_SOURCE enable Austin Group project material ("Issue 6") until it is final. In fact, my personal preference would be to wait and do C99 and the Austin Group specification at the same time :-) However: cuserid *is* a rquired part of the Open Group SUS ("Issue 5") and if _GNU_SOURCE claims to support it, cuserid should be there. It is also in the SVID3 (BA_OS). As much as you may not like the interface, keeping it adds to overall source portability. mark -- Mark S.

The west end of Molokai is known for its beautiful beaches, good surf and great hiking.
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: Our family lives on Oahu but we enjoy traveling to Molokai to get away and enjoy the beauty of the island. Kimball is an oceanographer at the University of Hawaii and Debbie enjoys building gardens at schools. We have 2 young children who love the adventure that the west end of Molokai brings.
Why the Owner Chose Maunaloa, HI, USA:
We had been coming to Molokai to surf and relax for ten years before we chose to buy a condo at Ke Nani Kai. The resort is well maintained, with a beautiful pool and spa area and friendly staff. We found Ke Nani Kai 156 neglected and with our 'green' renovations we are able to provide friends and family with a relaxing, healthy place to stay.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
The empty beaches and clear blue water are amazing but it's the surf that keeps us coming back. Exploring the uncrowded shorelines and viewing wildlife are some of the unique benefits to Molokai as are the lack of stoplights and traffic. We appreciate the locally grown foods that are available- foods that are grown on Molokai- making it easy to create fresh and healthy meals in the kitchen.

The Worst That Can Happen
William Bradley explains how he found perspective on the tough academic job market.
Recently, I have had two sources of stress in my life. One was the knowledge that my visiting assistant professor appointment at my alma mater, St. Lawrence University, is coming to a close, necessitating my return to the academic job market.
The other was the fact that I was out of refills on my prescription for the synthetic thyroid drug levothyroxine. This is a pill I have to take every day, and the fact that I was out of refills meant that I would have to go to visit a doctor's office. I don't really like going to the doctor's office. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1998, when I was 21, and the disease came back twice before remissions seemed to stick in the spring of 2000.
I spent a good chunk of my early adulthood getting shots, having blood drawn, receiving chemotherapy, getting an autologous bone marrow transplantation, and eventually having radiation burn away both the cancerous mass and significant areas of my chest and back. For years after, I continued to visit doctors, getting a new oncologist every time I moved for graduate school or my academic career.
When I was hired in my current position, I did not immediately seek out an oncologist. I was initially only hired for a year, and I had plenty of refills left on the one prescription I still had to take, so there didn't seem to be urgency. I knew that I needed to see a doctor, needed to take care of my health, but I also knew that I was healthy. The new job did wonders to increase both my productivity and my energy levels. I'm running and lifting weights again. And if my previous malignancies were any indication, I wouldn't be carrying around the extra weight I'm carrying if I was sick again. So it was easy enough to forget to find a doctor.
Until I realized that I was down to my last few pills. In fact, I had just enough to get me through to Friday, September 12th — the day that the Modern Language Association's Job Information List was due to be released. I probably don't need to tell anyone reading this that, in recent years, the job market has been pretty terrible. Particularly so for English. Particularly so for creative nonfiction, my primary field. I've felt very fortunate that my initial one-year appointment turned into three, and I have not been looking forward to the stress and heartache of applying for jobs, waiting for the phone to ring, and trying to find cheap lodging near the main conference hotels in Vancouver this year.
Most of all, I have been dreading the possibility of bad news — that my academic career may, in fact, be over, if those calls don't come. I'm not sure what I would do if that were to happen.
I think I avoid visiting the doctor for much the same reason — a fear of bad news. I can't control the cells in my body any more than I can compel colleges and universities to create new jobs for hard-working personal essayists. So much is out of my hands, so I just try to go about living day-to-day. I teach my classes, I write my essays, I do my sit-ups, and I try to avoid thinking about the stuff about the future that terrifies me.
There comes a point, though, when the future arrives and won't be ignored.
My new doctor seems very nice, and he didn't even scold me when I told him it had been two years since I'd last seen a doctor (and didn't correct me, either, by pointing out it had been closer to three years). He examined me, told me I looked healthy.
"Yeah, I'm healthy," I agreed quickly.
"We'll get some blood work and a chest x-ray to make sure," he replied.
Dammit, I thought.
I got up the next morning — Friday, September 12 — took the last pill in the bottle, and completely forgot to check the Job Information List. I got in my car and drove to the hospital for my tests, where I wound up in a waiting room with a television tuned in to "Fox and Friends," surrounded by other people. Some of them looked as healthy as I felt. Others had unsightly bruises, or unnaturally thinning hair. Some were quite old. Others were younger than me. All sat in an anxious silence, waiting for their names to be called.
I remembered suddenly the last time I had been in this hospital — the summer of 1998, after finishing my initial chemotherapy treatments and planning to begin a four-week round of radiation therapy. I had similar tests then. That time, the tests showed that my cancer was growing back at an alarming rate, which called for more aggressive treatments. I also remembered, as I sat there waiting, that the job list was supposed to be posted. You can probably imagine which thought took up more real estate in my mind that morning.
I don't want to sound like I think I'm deep or "above it all" or that recovering from cancer "taught me a valuable lesson" or anything like that, but I think there was something useful about sitting in that room, with those scared and sick people, remembering a time when I was sick and scared too. I spend so much of my time worrying about my career, I sometimes forget that when I was 22, my doctor told me I only had a 40 percent chance of living to see 27. I'm 38 now. I was 26 when I met the woman I later married, when I was 29, and my wife and I have had a lot of happiness over the course of these 11 years I was not expected to be alive.
We have traveled to California, Key West, and Japan. We found and nursed back to health two sickly kittens. We have driven all over the Adirondacks, stopping in small-town dive bars to drink Molson Canadian with the bikers and hunters who are regulars. I've watched my friends' kids take their first steps, become an uncle to my sister's son, become a godfather to my best friends' little boy. And yeah, I've gone to graduate school, had a few academic appointments, published some essays and stories, attended conferences, written letters of recommendation, and helped students discover what they want to do and who they want to be.
In short, I have had an awesome time. Teaching and writing has been important parts of my life, and I definitely would like to continue doing both — these past few years at St. Lawrence have convinced me that teaching writing and literature is the job of my dreams, and the results of those September 12th tests indicate that there is every reason to think that I have a lot of years left in me. But it seems to me at this moment that, if I have to give up the academic life, I can do so. It wouldn't be easy, but finding a new line of work is hardly the worst thing that could happen to me. And though I still don't like going to the doctor's office, I have to admit that I'm grateful for the reminder. As it happens, that was the very prescription I needed. Now, if someone will remind me of this in November, when the phone isn't ringing and the interviews don't seem to be forthcoming, I'll be much obliged.
