KENNESAW, Ga. (Jan. 16, 2006) - After suffering their first Atlantic Sun loss of the season, the Lady Bucs (9-4, 5-1 A-Sun) will look to get back on the winning track on Monday at Kennesaw State (2-9, 2-3 A-Sun). Game time is set for 9 p.m., in KSU Convocation Center. The game is also scheduled to be broadcast live on CSS.
About the Game ...ETSU will look to rebound from its first conference loss, with its second win of the season over Kennesaw State. The Owls will be looking to keep the Lady Bucs at bay, however, vying for its third A-Sun win, coming into the contest with a 2-4 conference record. Both squads are coming off home losses to conference foe FAU, which took down ETSU, 79-71, on Jan. 12, and handled KSU, 71-58, on Jan. 14.
Scouting the Owls ... Like the first time around, Shavonder Clarke is KSU's strongest threat averaging 21.5 points, and 11.4 rebounds a game. Clarke netted a game-high 20 in the the clubs' first meeting this season. Danielle Bates, who tallied 13 in the first meeting, is currently averaging 11.9 ppg, the second of only two players posting double figures for the Owls. Guard Dominika Mieszkowska averages just 7.3 ppg, but poured in 16 against the Lady Bucs in Johnson City. Mieszkowska also leads the team in assists with 2.7 dishes per game. Ngoneh Gaye is the team's second-leading rebounder, grabbing 6.2 boards a night. Since their trip to Johnson City, the Owls have managed only one win, which came against Jacksonville on Jan. 5. However, the Owls have dropped three of four since playing ETSU, falling to UNF, South Dakota State, and FAU.
The Series ... The two clubs met for the first time earlier this season, when the Lady Bucs topped the Owls, 74-66, in Memorial Center.
The First Time Around ... The Lady Bucs basketball squad downed Kennesaw State, 74-66, on Jan. 2, in Memorial Center. Senior B.J. Banjo paced the Lady Bucs with 18 points, while classmate Candace Gibson (Warner Robins, Ga.) added 17. Free throws would spell the difference for the Lady Bucs, who went 24-for-30 from the charity stripe, including 16-straight to start the game, for a season-best 80.0 percent. Sophomore Michele DeVault (Columbus, Ohio) led the charge with a perfect 9-for-9 showing, on her way to scoring 14 for the game. Banjo, who went 7-for-8 for the night, was clutch down the stretch, draining four free throws in the last 22 seconds. The Lady Owls would only make it to the line 13 times for the game. KSU's Shavonder Clarke netted a game-high 20 in the loss.
Last time out ... Despite a 21-point, 14-rebound effort from senior Candace Gibson (Warner Robins, Ga.), the Lady Bucs suffered their first Atlantic Sun setback of the season on Thursday, dropping a 79-71 decision to Florida Atlantic, in Memorial Center. With the loss, ETSU falls to 9-4 overall, 5-1 in conference play, while the Owls improve to 5-7, 4-1 in the A-Sun. Down by as many as 10 in the second half, the Lady Bucs battled back to get within two at 72-70, with 1:45 remaining, but the FAU fended off the late charge, cashing in on a sensational shooting performance, in which the Owls drained 50 percent of the second-half shots, and 49.1 percent for the game. The win by FAU halts the Lady Bucs' home-win streak at seven, while also preventing ETSU from its fifth-consecutive victory. Up 35-34 at the half, the Lady Bucs quickly saw their lead slip away, as the Owls had stolen the advantage by the 17:33 mark, when a Demina Anderson layup put FAU up 39-37. The Owls would extend their lead to 51-41 with just over 14 minutes to play, but the Lady Bucs wouldn't go away, fighting to get back within four on a layup by Gibson with 12:18 to go. FAU answered with a three pointer by Cristal Randolph just 18 seconds later, taking the lead to 55-48. Buckets by Gibson and Kelly Turman (Atlanta, Ga.) brought ETSU within three by the period's halfway point, but the Owls held their ground, pushing the lead back to double digits, 63-53, with 7:26 to go. Turman also had a commendable outing, posting 19 points and seven rebounds. A three-point play by Turman would bring the margin back to seven, followed by a layup by Alisha Holmes (Orangeburg, S.C.), which brought deficit to five. FAU combated the attack with a basket by Breana Cox, but ETSU would continue to charge, bringing the lead to one, at 65-64, thanks to a two by Turman, and a three from Michele DeVault (Columbus, Ohio). A layup by Gibson at the 4:41 mark would give the Lady Bucs one of their few leads of the evening at 66-65, but the Owls stole the momentum with a quick seven-point run, sparked by a three by Missy Glaser. A pair of free throws from Holmes and another Gibson layup made it a two point game once again, at 70-72, but the Owls prevailed, sinking five free throws in the final 40 seconds.

Sun coverage
Ask Andy Choy what he studied in college and he smiles slightly. "I was actually a probability major," he says after a one-beat pause. "I was a statistics major. So, I actually study the odds and understand it beyond the periphery."
That quality, understanding odds beyond the periphery, is vital to the success of Choy and the hotel he operates, the Riviera. Choy spent his undergrad years at UC Berkeley, then leapt across the San Francisco Bay to Stanford for business school. He understands the numbers. He knows his hotel's demographics. He knows how a single-zero roulette wheel can appeal to gamblers accustomed to playing a zero and double-zero wheel while still giving the house a slight advantage.
But beyond the tables, Choy and his team have needed to sort out something much more nuanced than the numbers. They've been homing in on just what identity gives the classic resort its highest probability of success. And "classic" is the way to go for a property that opened in April 1955, with an entertainment legacy that spans Liberace to "Crazy Girls." For Choy, reaching that conclusion was as easy as knowing to hold a 20 to the dealer's 6.
"We want to be the best casino on the Strip," says Choy, who took over as CEO of the Riv in October 2010 as the hotel emerged from bankruptcy in a deal negotiated by a group of private investors. "You have Las Vegas Sands, MGM, Caesars Entertainment. ... All have said, publicly, that they are moving away from gambling."
But not the Riviera.
"For us, and I'm not saying it's right or wrong or good or bad, but from a purely objective standpoint, I see it as an opportunity," he says, looking over a stack of documents reflecting tourism trends supplied by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. "If everyone else is going to shy away from the gambling, where are the gamblers going to go? There is a vacuum there for folks who are focused on gambling."
Choy acutely realizes the Riviera's place in the redevelopment of the northern end of the Strip. To his immediate north sits a dormant Sahara, awaiting a $300 million renovation by SBE Entertainment in an effort to reopen the property as the SLS Las Vegas in 2014. That will be a contemporary resort, certainly; the old Sahara brand and Moroccan theme have been discarded.
Gone, too, is much of the pedestrian activity leading up to the corner of Sahara Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard.
"We absolutely would love more foot traffic," Choy says. "We would absolutely benefit from the Fontainebleau opening, from Echelon opening, from the Sahara re-opening. Anything to draw a critical mass down here would be great for us. But that is not happening in the next 12 months, and there is a question of it happening in the next 24 months."
The Riv, in the interim, must keep the doors open.
"We've got to remain viable, and I believe we can remain viable while we wait for the north end to kind of redevelop," Choy says. "What (SBE) is doing up there is great for us, and also for Vegas. I absolutely applaud what they are doing. I'm also glad they are doing something different than what we are doing, and we can play off each other so the north end of the Strip has a little more vibrancy."
To bolster his point, Choy moves his index finger to an LVCVA report that shows 13 percent of visitors to Las Vegas said they come to the city specifically to gamble. It seems a meager number on which to invest millions of dollars in casino renovation, but Choy looks at the follow-up question: "Did you actually gamble while in Las Vegas?"
The answer lights up his face. "Eighty-three percent said they gambled during their trip."
Bingo! And that is one game the Riv owns, at least on the Strip. Last fall, the hotel built a spacious, comfortable, 6,000-square-foot bingo room — the only bingo room on the Strip — in what was a nondescript convention space. Daily sessions are at 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. To promote that amenity, Choy has donned a bingo-ball costume and walked up and down the Strip, a throwback promotion that most of today's resort moguls would likely disdain.
And just this week, the hotel announced a partnership with Buffalo Studios, which is the operator of Bingo Blitz, the top bingo game on Facebook. It is being trumpeted as the first bingo partnership between an online social-media game and a hotel-casino. In this arrangement, Bingo Blitz is featuring an online Riviera Las Vegas bingo room, where players are allowed to enter the sweepstakes free each day for a chance to win a trip to Vegas to compete in a $200,000 Bingo Blitz tournament at the Riv in July.
Offering bingo and enticing table odds is at the center of the Riv's renaissance. The Riv is the only Strip casino to offer 3:2, single-deck blackjack, in which the house pays $3 for a $2 bet on any blackjack (the vast majority of Vegas casinos pay 6:5, or $6 for a $5 bet). It also offers 1,000-times odds on craps tables, giving players a chance to back bets on the pass line with a wager of up to 1,000 times more, a great advantage to adept craps players.
Also, the hotel has built a new sports book, operated by Lucky's, closer to the resort's entrance facing the Strip. The ingress-egress function of the hotel — what you and I might call "entrance and exit" — seems to fly against common sense. The main porte-cochère faces Paradise Road, not Las Vegas Boulevard.
"Even I need to catch myself from calling it the rear entrance," Choy says. "But it's not the front or back, it's just a different arrival. Initially, it was hard for people to get their heads around — especially the investors and our board. They were saying, 'What? You're not going to have the front entrance off the Strip?'"
As always, Choy reviews the probability of where potential customers actually drive into the hotel.
"Twenty or 30 years ago, this property was mainly a fly-in property, meaning people would fly in and take cabs here, which is why there was not an emphasis on a big, grandiose arrival in the porte-cochère," he says. "But now, with visitors from L.A. driving in as opposed to flying in, the drive-in market is becoming hugely important, and those visitors were not parking their cars on the Strip and walking in. They were driving around the property and parking at the Paradise entrance."
The Riv's registration desk has been moved to that entrance, too, conveniently facing the new bingo room.
In all, Riviera investors are pouring between $35 million and $50 million in renovations to the classic casino. The smaller, standard rooms have been spruced up, and the larger suites are due for an upgrade. The Starlite Theatre, up the escalators in the hotel's entertainment center, has been renovated, as well. The acts in that theater touch on nearly every entertainment medium.
The "Icons of Comedy" series is staged at the Starlite (one of its recurring headliners, Amy Schumer, says she was drawn to the hotel by listening to old Totie Fields comedy albums), as is "Illusions," starring magician Jan Rouven. Andrew Dice Clay has found a suitable stage at the Riv, and the Riviera Comedy Club is one of the longest-standing comedy venues in the city. "Crazy Girls," the venerable adult revue, turns 25 this year, and "An Evening at La Cage," starring Jimmy Emerson, has returned to the hotel after a brief run downtown at the Plaza.
And in a maneuver that suits the Riv's old-Vegas vibe, Choy secured a residency by Pat DiNizio of the Smithereens by playing a hunch.
"I had seen them play in town; I've been a fan for a long time, so I literally went on Google, found his number and called him up," Choy says, chuckling. "He picked up the phone, and we started the conversation that way."
Thus, the only-at-the-Riv production, "Confessions of a Rock Star," was born. The show is a celebration of DiNizio's Forrest Gump-like connection to rock 'n' roll history (the Smithereens have long paid homage to Buddy Holly and the Beatles), and its ticket price is a not-so-staggering $29.95 (absent fees).
That sort of production and price point fits Choy's ideal.
"What we offer is rangy, and I feel it needs to be first-rate entertainment that gives good value for your money," he says. "We want a very cheap ticket price and great production value. Now, there is a heck of a lot of stuff going on around town that is a low price to the consumer, but the production value really isn't there. We've looked at that and have been pitched that and have looked at it long and hard, and we could go out there with a $5 show and at least break even with it."
But Choy couldn't bear putting on a $5 or no-admission show.
"The entertainment has to be entertaining, and everyone has to leave the show happy," he says. "The key thing I am looking for is for people to leave with a positive lasting impression of the Riviera."
Choy stops to consider his role as the company's spokesman and not just the guy who sorts out the most effective way to reach the bottom line.
"I really believe the face of the property should be the front-line employees, while I just work with the investors," he says. "But I like being in public, too. It's a lot more fun than sitting in here, looking at spreadsheets."

CY's Weekend Review: Gangster Squad
on 2013-01-14 01:59
A year ago "Gangster Squad" couldn't have been more anticipated. A cast that included Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, and Sean Penn being directed by an up-and-coming director in Zombieland's Ruben Fleischer. Then the Colorado shooting happened (no movie theater shooting in this movie) and that put an end to any Oscar chances. It doesn't matter though. "Gangster Squad" doesn't try too hard anyway, but it's also pretty good because of the people listed above.
Taking place after the rise of Mickey Cohen (Penn) from Jewish boxing mutt to gangster king of Los Angeles in 1949, Brolin plays John O'Mara, a go-in-with-guns-blazing cop who came home from World War 2 and still had an axe to grind. His next war is a rogue mission against Cohen, as he is recruited to put together a hit squad to take down the gangster, who has most of LA's cops and crime organizations in his back pocket.
O'Mara decides his team should consist of below-the-radar pistol packers like Jerry (Gosling),a cop far more interested in drinking and the girls at the clubs, particularly Cohen's girl (Stone, sadly looking like nothing more than lovely window dressing), than his job it seems.
In addition to Brolin and Gosling, a nice team of character actors has been assembled here to round out the squad. There's Anthony Mackie (playing a knife-wielding cop vehemently against Cohen's selling of heroin), Giovanni Ribisi (a mousy wiretap expert), Robert Patrick (as a veteran gunslinger), and Michael Pena (Patrick's partner and long-running joke about Mexicans on the police force in the 40's). All of which have their moments.
Brolin leads the way with tough, brute force while Gosling always has charm to spare and a beating to throw. Sean Penn is undoubtedly going to get comparisons to one of those over-the-top mobster villains from "Dick Tracy" but I don't think that automatically makes it less good. It's a sneering, crazy, raging performance that satisfies more often than not.
Of course this film is based on a true story but if you're looking for a history lesson to any of this, you might as well look elsewhere. Fleischer's film is all cops and mobsters, guns and explosions, dialogue that tries (and mostly fails) to be witty and snappy and fantastic recreations of costumes and sets from the 40's. The film also has one nice car chase with grenades and Fleischer doesn't shy away from gore either (people are ripped in half by cars, drilled, burned, and hands are chopped off).
It's all fairly entertaining but of course we've seen this many times before. The ending alone is packed with clichés (the slo-motion gun fight, the character who says "go get that Son of a B****", and the character who happens to be the poorest shot of the group getting in one quality kill). But "Gangster Squad" gets style and performance points. It probably would have been more disappointing if it came out during last year's Oscar season but as far as January offerings go it works just fine.

Riverside Inn Steps from Family-Friendly Pigeon Forge Attractions
On US Route 441 in eastern Tennessee, there's an old wooden sign at the entrance to the town of Pigeon Forge that touts the riverside city as a "family vacation hub." Indeed, though it's secluded in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge does have some quirky destinations, including Dollywood, a giant children's interactive museum with laser tag and magic shows, an aquarium, and a replica of the mighty Titanic. Right on Route 441, The Inn on the River is situated along a tranquil stretch of the Little Pigeon River, less than 5 miles from these lively attractions.
The inn's guest rooms are equipped with maple-wood furniture and come with a private balcony overlooking the Little Pigeon River and the Smoky Mountains. In the morning, a hot breakfast spread includes a waffle-making station, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, and sausage links.
Right along the river, the inn has laid out grills and picnic tables so you can enjoy a homemade dinner amid the picturesque wooded scenery.
Pigeon Forge, Tennessee: Museums, Ripley's Aquarium, and Outdoor Activities in the Smoky Mountains
Amid rolling Appalachian foothills, US Route 441 connects the towns of Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg, forming a major entertainment trifecta. Each town boasts a wide range of dinner shows and theme parks, from mom-and-pop performances to nationally known acts. Pigeon Forge stands out for its historical town center, where a cluster of old-fashioned shops form the Old Mill Square along the Little Pigeon River. Inside the mill, a pair of 4,600-pound granite stones has been grinding grain and juicy rumors since the early 1800s.
With this Getaway, you have the option of tickets to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, located down the road in Gatlinburg. Here, exotic stingrays and four-eyed anableps swim among a menagerie of marine life beneath a backlit waterfall. In the colorful, 750,000-gallon shark lagoon, green eels serenade sand tiger sharks with stirring renditions of "That's Amore." For the ultimate interactive experience, slip into a wetsuit and swim alongside friendly stingrays.
And of course, anyone in the area should spend a least a day exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, America's most popular national park. The park has cascading waterfalls, more than 1,500 types of wildflowers, and dozens of historical mills and barns in the southern Appalachians. While you're exploring, keep an eye out for elk, black-bear cubs, eastern box turtles, and white-tailed deer.

The third phase of the beta of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has been going on for two weeks already, featuring lalafell marching events and overall good performance, and apparently it's time to talk numbers.
I think if this will be a F2P model after buying the game it will be a success
I don't mind p2p. I'm going to enjoy every second of FFXIV ARR. I don't won't f2p which is really p2w. A price drop would be nice, though the current fee won't stop me from playing this game.
Can't wait for this game... Hopefully I'll get into the Beta. As I already pre-ordered it, have been in other betas, entered an FFXIII code, have a great PC rig, etc. I put these things in the survey, come on Square! D:
Lol seriously though, this game looks brilliant. This coming from someone who said they'd never touch a Final Fantasy game that was online only.
hope this doesnt turn f2p
i dont want peasants clogging the servers
Phase 3 is awesome ...
The game is night & day from teh original FF14
i already wish they had released the ost so i could enjoy the new songs they are great IMO.

Watch The ::God Is Imaginary Videos On YouTube ::
What is the imagination for?
Did you ever think if we knew the truth about heaven we'd flock there like birds and never go through this part of life? There have been many times I felt like going not even knowing with absolute certainty but believing it is better than here. What stopped me, I'll tell you what, the unknown.
That's what. If we had tour guides and brochures we'd all take that one way trip to peace. We don't though and that is why,IMO. We would not care to cure disease it would be a different life. It would have a profound effect about the way we don't live this life.
I wish I could help you find your truth I really do.

James Gilchrist and Anna Tilbrook
have already recorded one of Britten's tenor song cycles, the Hardy settings of
Winter Words, on a previous disc for Linn, and they continue their series with
four more. Strictly speaking, though, the earliest of them, the five settings
of WH Auden that make up On This Island, and which were Britten's first
published songs, weren't originally composed for tenor at all, but for soprano.
Sophie Wyss, for whom Britten also composed the orchestral cycle Les
Illuminations, gave the first performance in 1937. But all the others here were
written for Peter Pears, beginning with the Michelangelo Sonnets in 1940, and
ending with the first of the canticles, My Beloved Is Mine, seven years later.
Gilchrist's rather English sound
fits music that was conceived for Pears's equally English style very well,
whether in the unbuttoned declarations of love of the Michelangelo songs, or
the much darker introspection of the Donne Sonnets. His immaculate diction - in
Italian as well as English - is more than ample compensation for a slight
feeling that sometimes the vocal lines are treated with just a little too much
respect, that everything is just too correct, when a bit more dash and daring
might have brought an extra dimension to some of the songs. But Gilchrist's
restraint also proves to be the perfect counterpart to Tilbrook's piano
playing, which relishes every bit of the athleticism that Britten built into
accompaniments that he wrote to play himself.

Wish I could be there! I'll be in NY Feb 5-10. Anything going on then?
You're always thinking of your readers. I hope to meet you tonight, too!
I have class during that time :( Of course it's my intellectual art properties class which will probably run the entire time even though it's the first day. I'll be sure to check out the show later this week though. I hope you have an amazing night.
Congrats on all the success!
You will see me there.
Can we buy the catalog, Sart?I didn't see one listed for sale at the Danziger Projects site.
I suppose we'll have to wait for a book?
Good luck, kid. You deserve all the good things. Thanks so much for your photos and lovely site. You brighten many a morning 'round the world.
see you there
Wish I could be there! I want to hear all about it!
Have fun tonight, Sart! I wish I could be there, but I'm stuck in L.A. I'll be thinking of you, though, and throwing good wishes your way. Make sure and take photos at the reception!
Planned to come but I'm doing you all a favor and staying home with what's left of my miserable bout of flu.
Will stop by another day = meanwhile, congratulations. A great way to start your year!
Wow, that was a lot of people!
So great to see the detail in the prints. Not to rub it in for the non-NYC-ers, but the 72dpi pics on the web are pale compared with the lovely, lovely prints. Now you *have* to do a book, Scott.
i wish i lived in NYC. sart, i'll buy you a plane ticket to come to seattle!
HOW WAS THE PARTY????? I'm jealous!
That was… crowded. I sat down on my skateboard down the block and watched the fashion show. Well done, New York.
wish i was there .. but that would be crazy to take a 13 hour flight .. then again .. thats something i would want to do :(

While you fill out your college hoops brackets for March Madness this week, TV expert Alan Sepinwall will still be anxiously poring over your picks from this week's round of Best in Show, Hulu's yearly bracket to determine the best show on television. Round 2 had some surprising trounces—"Dexter," ahem, murdered "Glee"—and the tournament is now fresh out of zombies and vampires. Now there are some painstaking decisions for you to make while you vote—and vote often—this week. "Community" vs. "The Office." "Mad Men" vs. "House." Round 3 is tricky, and that's why we asked Sepinwall, a senior editor at HitFix, some questions to help figure it out.
What do you see as the biggest surprise of Round 2? And will you be mourning the loss of any show you thought was a contender?
I was shocked by how easily "Dexter" took out "Glee." I figured with the way the brackets were set up, "Glee" was a lock for the Final Four, but it was never even close. Definitely disappointed, but not too surprised, that "Breaking Bad" (which I thought had the most strongest recent season of any show in the field) lost to "House."
What bounced Round 2 show do you think would've lasted much longer with a different opponent?
Given that it had the closest defeat in the round, I guess I would pick "Supernatural." Contrary to what some of the commenters have suggested, I don't hate it; I just am too far behind to catch up on it anytime soon, but I've always liked it when I've seen it, and I was one of the people who wanted it included in the field of 32. When you have two genre-ish shows with hardcore fanbases like "Chuck" and "Supernatural," things are going to be close, where I suspect Supernatural could have gone much further had it been in, say, the "House"/"Mad Men" bracket.
This "Community" vs. "The Office" matchup is an interesting rookie vs. veteran matchup. If the Greendale crew takes this, does that solidify that "Community" has supplanted "The Office" of the torch bearer of NBC Thursday night comedies going forward?
I would say that "Community" and "Parks and Rec" supplanted "The Office" and "30 Rock" as the standard-bearers last season, although both the veteran shows have bounced back a bit this year ("30 Rock" more than "The Office"). In comedy, newer is often (but not always) better, because we haven't heard these same jokes about these same characters for year after year.
"Mad Men" vs. "House" is going to be the first hotly contested matchup between a critically acclaimed, cult-following cable show and an uber-popular, remarkably successful network program. How do you think this will play out?
We already had a match-up like that in Round 2, where "House" crushed "Breaking Bad." On the other hand, while "Mad Men's" ratings aren't that much bigger than its AMC stable-mate, it has a much higher profile overall, and a more vocal fanbase. I suspect "House" has the edge, simply because many more people watch it, but people online who watch Mad Men go crazy for "Mad Men."
Despite a relative abundance from the outset, all of the vampire/zombie/supernatural (Supernatural?) shows have now been eliminated. Does this lend any credence to the idea that these shows are a fad in an era of very high quality TV? Will they be considered a relic in a few years?
No. There's always going to be an appetite for these kinds of shows, especially since in some cases you have people who love the genre itself so much that they don't care about quality. (I have a friend who says he thinks "True Blood" is badly written and acted, but watches anyway because he loves vampire stories just that much.) I'm a bit surprised that all those shows got knocked out so quickly, given the way the Internet works, though the way the brackets were set up, a lot of the sci-fi/supernatural shows wound up being pitted against each other, anyway.
Disregard which show you want to win. Based on what you've seen from the voting so far, who do you think is taking this thing?
I have a feeling it's going to come down to "Community" vs. "Dexter." And though I love "Community" and can see the passion of its fans online, that "Dexter" rout of "Glee" really opened my eyes. I'd say it's the favorite right now.
OK, now regard which show you want to win. It's getting late in the tourney, here. Of the shows that are left, who do you think most deserves the title of Best in Show?
"Mad Men," with "Community" a close second.

Our eight-day look at who makes the Eagles' 53-man roster continues today with a look at the offensive line (Here's the Day 1 look at defensive end).
This position may be the most interesting position when it comes to who stays and who goes because new offensive line coach Howard Mudd has made some drastic changes in terms of style and personnel. A few familiar faces may be on the chopping block.
First cuts come next Tuesday when the 90-man roster is pared down to 80. Final cuts are on Sept. 3.
Likely to keep: 9-10.
Locks: Jason Peters is your starting left tackle. Live with it. Todd Herremans is the left guard unless Andy Reid and company decide that myriad number of (not very attractive) options at right tackle don't make them queasy. Then Herremans could slide outside, although the Eagles hope to avoid such a move. Top draft pick Danny Watkins is still penciled in as the starting right guard, although he's a project. Jason Kelce has eked out ahead of stalwart Jamaal Jackson for the starting center spot. Whether he wins or not – and it says here he does – the sixth-round rookie isn't going anywhere.
Near lock: I'm not sure I get the King Dunlap hate. For a seventh-round pick the Eagles have gotten more than they could rightly ask for from the tackle. He's not great and his height is always a detriment, but he's improved with each season in Philadelphia. Dunlap is currently the starting right tackle with Winston Justice and Ryan Harris on the shelf, which is, admittedly, not ideal. But he can play both tackle spots and is a worthy backup. Evan Mathis is a Mudder – not that tall, squatty and athletic. I'm pretty sure St. Joseph's Prep has a few bigger offensive linemen. But he's versatile and is insurance at left guard in case Herremans gets the nod to scoot out to right tackle.
Bubble: Even if Jackson isn't the starter I'm inclined to think he stays. His contract isn't huge (roughly $1.5 million) and the Eagles need a safeguard in case Kelce struggles. Mike McGlynn would have made Jackson expendable, but he's played more guard than center under Mudd and has looked, to put it plainly, lost. Hard to believe a 16-game starting center for a playoff team might not make the squad a season later, but that's the scenario McGlynn faces. He could be trade bait. Harris hasn't practiced in nearly two weeks because of back spasms. He looked like the man to beat at right tackle early in camp, but has morphed into the second coming of Shawn Andrews. If he's healthy he's here, although the Eagles can't cut an injured player, which would mean he's here either way. Reggie Wells missed all of camp at Lehigh, so he's fresher than the rest of the linemen. His signing seemed like a desperate move by a desperate team, but a good showing Thursday against the Browns could help the veteran's cause. Julian Vandervelde was a fifth-round pick so he's at least assured a spot on the practice squad. I'm sure the Eagles could stow him away there without any other teams plucking him up. Tackle Austin Howard, an undrafted rookie from a year ago, is on the downside of the bubble.
PUP: Justice won't start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform List, but the prospects of him being back in time for the opener appear dim.
Leave: Reid granted tackle Jose Acuna, an undrafted rookie pickup off waivers, a leave to attend to family matters.
Gone: A.Q. Shipley hardly played last Thursday against the Steelers, but has another year of practice squad eligibility if the Eagles want to keep a center on reserve. The same applies for tackle Fenuki Tupou, who currently has a knee sprain, and guard Dallas Reynolds. Tackle Spencer Johnson is a goner.

On View in the Grand Gallery
Some of the trilobite fossils on display are hundreds of millions of years old—but they are so exquisitely preserved that the animals seem almost alive, crawling along the seafloor. Trilobites are marine arthropods, a group that also includes insects and horseshoe crabs. The first trilobites evolved some 520 million years ago, during the Cambrian Period, when our planet was mostly covered by water and life forms were becoming more complex and more diverse. Scientists have discovered more than 20,000 species of trilobites, which went extinct 225 million years ago.
This exhibit is made possible thanks to Martin Shugar, M.D. and Andy Secher.
Spectacular Stibnite
With hundreds of sword-like, metallic blue-gray crystals sprouting from a rocky base, the 1,000-pound stibnite on display in the Grand Gallery is one of the Museum's most spectacular mineral specimens. Stibnite (Sb2S3), a compound of the elements antimony and sulfur, occasionally forms nests of delicate, six-sided crystals, but examples this large and intricate are exceedingly rare. This unique specimen was spared from destruction by alert miners in the Wuning (Wuling) antimony mine in Jiangxi Province of southeastern China. Stibnite is most commonly pulverized and heated to extract the antimony and make flame retardants and engine bearings.
Ancient Ammonite
This two-foot-diameter fossil, known as an ammonite, is a large and particularly rare example of a marine animal that was once one of the most common invertebrates in the oceans. Ammonites became extinct around 65 million years ago, the same time as most non-avian dinosaurs. Its spectacular coloration is the result of millions of years of high temperatures and pressures acting on the animal's shell to create a gemstone known as an ammolite.
Jadeite Jade
A two-foot-long slice from a jadeite jade boulder provides a spectacular window into the dramatic process that formed this highly prized type of jade. This jadeite started as a small vein, or fracture, over 12 miles underground that was wrenched apart by the collision of two tectonic plates over 35 million years ago. During the shakeup, mineral-rich fluids rose into cracks in Earth's mantle and deposited jadeite rock. As the tectonic plates continued to rub against one another, the veins of jadeite broke and reformed again and again, producing the remarkable emerald green and white swirls. The polished 55-pound slab was recovered from northern Burma.

Have you been watching The Bible miniseries on the History Channel for the past few weeks? If you haven't heard about it, check out this short trailer for the series.
Basically, The Bible is a 10-hour, five-part, made for TV docudrama telling some of the best-known stories from the Bible. Five hours of the series focus on the Old Testament and five hours on the New Testament. While the series does not follow the Bible word for word, overall its intent was to retain the spirit of the written word.
We've been watching the series as a family since it started, and I have to say I'm so impressed with it so far. I'll admit that we don't go to church as often as I'd like, so this series has proved to be a great conversation starter and a way to really get my kids engaged in some of the stories from the Bible that they're familiar with and some that they're not.
But then I wouldn't expect any less from the History Channel -- we regularly tune into their programming.
If you missed the first few episodes or just want to own the miniseries in its entirety, you can preorder The Bible on DVD or Blu-ray starting at $29.99 right now exclusively on Walmart.com. Plus you'll receive an exclusive first look at all of the episodes on Vudu, as well as early access to watching the miniseries in its entirety on April 2nd.
Don't miss these companion books for the series:
- A Story of God and All of Us: A Novel Based on the Epic TV Miniseries "The Bible", $13.42
- A Story of God and All of Us Reflections: 100 Daily Devotions Based on the Epic TV Miniseries "The Bible", $10.75
- A Story of God and All of Us Young Readers Edition, $11.40
Have you been watching The Bible miniseries? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

Philanthropy at Xerox
From its beginnings, Xerox has helped shape the idea of corporate social responsibility. Our efforts reflect our belief that a successful corporation must be an active participant in society, and we are committed to giving back to the communities from which we draw our employees, our customers, and our freedom to conduct business.
We direct most of our philanthropic giving to a select, few organizations that engage Xerox people and deliver real, tangible results. The way we see it, every dollar we spend must deliver the greatest possible impact. It is through these programs that our people have given back for decades. Here's how we do it:
Xerox Community Involvement Program: Our biggest and longest running program, XCIP provides the means to channel funds to local teams of employees to select and work on specific community projects that they identify in their communities.
The Xerox Science Consultant Program: The Xerox Science Consultant program enjoys a rich history of nearly 50 years. Active in Monroe County, NY the goal of the program is to improve student attitudes towards science, make it fun, interesting and accessible. Xerox Science Consultants deliver hands-on science lessons to students in grades 4-6 that "make science cool."
FIRST Robotics and LEGO League: For more than 25 years, Xerox's partnership with FIRST (For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) brings together students and Xerox scientists to build a programmed, fully functional robot — from a box of parts or bag of Legos®. The partnership has helped thousands of students channel their curiosity through a challenging and fun-filled program that shows "real-life" science and engineering concepts at work.
In addition, many Xerox people from the factory floor to the C suite offer their expertise and experience to non-profit and membership organizations around the world.
Please be advised that Xerox is not accepting new grant requests at this time.

Cooler Master, DEEPCOOL, Noctua, and Thermaltake CPU Cooler Roundup
When building a high-performance gaming computer, many people simply throw some parts together and never touch the BIOS. Clearly since you're reading this you aren't part of the "stock computer" clan – you want the best performance for your dollar and won't settle for sub-par parts or performance. An oft-overlooked part of a new build (and generally thrown in as an afterthought) is the heart of your computer's cooling system: the CPU heat sink. While originally regarded as somewhat of an afterthought in past years with modern CPUs being multiplier unlocked in the upper model ranges having a decent CPU heat sink can unleash a lot of additional performance from your processor without increasing temperatures to dangerous or damaging levels. After all, what good will all that extra performance be if your computer does an imitation of Chernobyl in the process?
Some of you are already rolling your eyes and sighing after reading the previous paragraph; after all good cooling is essential to a properly-configured rig, right? Lucky for you I have a gaggle of boxes filled with all sorts of copper, aluminum, nickel plating and water. Five CPU coolers from the prestigious Cooler Master, DEEPCOOL, Noctua, and Thermaltake are lined up for the OCC gauntlet of tests. First up is the Cooler Master TPC 812, a tower cooler with an integrated vapor chamber in the base. Next is a pair of coolers from DEEPCOOL: the Ice Blade Pro V2.0 and the Neptwin. Both are tower coolers utilizing 120mm fans and a slew of heat pipes. Next under the microscope is everyone's favorite Austrian heat sink manufacturer Noctua with the low-profile NH-L12. Lastly we'll be taking a look at the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme which is the big mac-daddy of the Water 2.0 line (with the smaller siblings having been reviewed in the past few months: LINK). Now that you know what to expect on the next few pages, keep reading to discover whether these coolers deserve to suck the heat out of your components!
Closer Look:
The Cooler Master TPC 812 showed up in a classy maroon and black box that clearly shows the heat sink itself along with the included fan. Just in case you didn't know what it was, there's a large chrome and black sticker to remind you that this is indeed intended to keep your CPU cool. The front of the box also boasts about the "vertical vapor chamber" cooling design that's ready for overclocking (we'll see about that later!). The side of the box lists the specifications of the cooler and the included 120mm fan – for more detail jump over to the Specifications & Features page. The backside of the box spits out a little blurb that highlights the vapor chamber design, the overclocking capabilities, and the ability to have "silent cooling". Whether these claims have merit remains to be seen but overall the cooler looks quite impressive and should fit on any modern CPU socket!
OCC is no stranger to DEEPCOOL having reviewed quite a few of its cooling components in the past (LINK). The first of the pair of DEEPCOOL CPU coolers I'll be looking at today is the Ice Blade Pro V2.0, an updated version of the original Ice Blade Pro. This refreshed model features a blue LED-lit 120mm fan, quad heat pipes, and support for all modern Intel and AMD sockets and CPUs up to 150 watts. Curiously enough the aspect ratio of the photos on the box is a bit off and makes the cooler appear quite a bit chunkier than it actually is as you'll see in a bit. The rest of the box details the direct-touch heat pipe design and the various specifications that you can read in full on the Specifications & Features page.
The second cooler from DEEPCOOL is the rather impressive looking Neptwin. The Neptwin shares a similar box design to the Ice Blade Pro V2.0 and makes them look quite at home next to each other on a shelf. The Neptwin features six (count-em, six!) heat pipes arranged in a twin-tower design that houses dual 120mm spinners. Unlike its smaller brother the heat pipes are not of the direct-contact type and are instead soldered into a copper base. Being much larger than the Ice Blade Pro V2.0 and running dual fans I expect the Neptwin will perform a bit better when really pushing the thermal load even though the two share a maximum heat rating of 150 watts. For a full list of features, well, you know the drill by now don't you?
The contender from Noctua is a bit of an odd duck in this bunch; the NH-L12 is a low profile and low noise cooler. The low noise part isn't unexpected from Noctua since most of its coolers range from very quiet to near inaudible, but the low-profile design is definitely a new thing from the makers of the monstrous NH-D14. Designed to fit into small micro ATX and mini ITX cases, the NH-L12 only rises to 66mm tall over your motherboard when running in single fan mode. With both the 92mm and 120mm fans installed the quad heat pipes should be able to move quite a bit of heat away from your CPU (and I suspect it will do that in near-silence as well). The box itself doesn't paint a very good picture of the heat sink as it lacks any photos with the exception of a small diagram of the cooler dimensions. Will this small cooler be able to keep up with the bigger (and probably louder) competition?
The last contender in the lineup will probably never be the last one to be chosen for the basketball team; the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme stands tall over all of the other coolers. Sporting a dual 120mm radiator, integrated PWM fan and pump controls and hassle-free sealed cooling, the Water 2.0 Extreme is the biggest and baddest of the Water 2.0 line. I have no doubts that this monster of a self-contained water cooling system will outperform the rest of the coolers today, but it comes with a few caveats of its own that we'll dig deeper into later in the review.
All in all there is a nice spread of cooler sizes and types in the running here. From the small and quiet Noctua to the big and bad Thermaltake there's enough variation here to make the comparisons both interesting and difficult – so keep reading to find out how each of these heat sinks stacks up in ease of use, compatibility, and performance!

News Release
National Board Certified Teachers in highest need schools receive stipend awards
The Colorado Department of Education announced the award of $160,848 in teaching stipends to 37 teachers who have earned certification through the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards and are employed in low-performing, high-needs schools.
The stipends were created through House Bill 12-1261 during the 2012 legislative session. The legislation stated that "implementation of measures designed to improve teacher and principal quality, recruitment and retention is a critical element of accountable education reform."
Legislation established a stipend of $1,600 for educators nationally certified with NBPTS. An additional $3,200 was added for educators employed in low-income, high-priority schools. These schools are identified yearly by the State Board of Education as schools who must submit a Turnaround Plan or Priority Improvement Plan. Only the $4,800 stipends for those Nationally Board Certified Teachers at low-income, high-needs schools were funded during the 2012 legislative session, for a May 1, 2013 distribution.
Teachers eligible to apply for stipends may work in public school districts, charter schools or through Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). The 37 teachers that will receive the stipends are employed at schools in six school districts: Adams 12 Five Star Schools; Weld (Greeley) District 6; Denver Public Schools; Westminster District 50; Brighton 27J and Colorado Springs School District 11.
To qualify for the stipend, educators must also have been employed to teach in a Colorado public school in grades K-12 for the entire school year. If a teacher is contracted for less than full-time employment in these schools, the stipend is pro-rated.
According to the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, National Board Certified Teachers are assuming leadership roles in schools and districts across the nation – serving as mentors, facilitating professional development and leading education reform efforts.
To receive National Board Certification, teachers must demonstrate competency in national content and teaching ability. The certification process can take between one to three years to complete and includes both assessments and a portfolio submission. The certification application costs $2,565. The stipends will be sent to the school districts to distribute to the educators.
For more information, contact Anne Marie Roberts in the CDE Office of Professional Services at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Steele High School's principal Michael Dixon — on the job only three months — has resigned, stunning district officials. Dixon cited his responsibilities at home as reason for his resignation. In a letter to superintendent Robert Boynton, Dixon explained that he had been named the court- Relative's illness forces him to quit appointed guardian to his 94-year- old grandmother. The letter stated that the drive from his home in Plymouth, Ohio, to Amherst and back again, approximately one hour each way, put a strain on his family life. Reached by telephone last week, Dixon said that it was his original intention to sell his family's home in Plymouth and move to Amherst "In all my years as a coach and principal, I've always lived within walking distance of the school I've worked at," Dixon said. Dixon, who was the principal at Plymouth High School prior to taking the job in Amherst, explained in his resignation letter that it was impossible to sell his home in Plymouth for fair market value with only two years of home equity. All in all, though, Dixon said, the decision came down to his personal priorities. "If I want to be responsible and a good role model for my children, I have to make a stand," Dixon said. "When I'm on my death bed, my girls are going to be there. Amherst isn't going to be there." Dixon said that his 9-year-old daughter would often cry when he was home late, putting an added emotional strain on him. Together with his 60-hour work weeks and the 11 hours a week he spent in the car driving to and from Amherst, Dixon said that he felt the decision lo resign had to be made. '•Family has to come first," Dixon said. "I appreciate the fact that Mr. Boynton and (assistant superintendent Bob Wiersum) were understanding of that fact." Of his grandmother, Dixon said that nurses believe her to be in the third stage of Alzheimer's dementia, a debilitating neurological disease.

Higher water costs to mean rate increase for customers by ERIK YORKE News-Times reporter Residents may soon see an increase in their water bills, according to city utilities superintendent Ron Murphy. Amherst, which buys water from both Lorain and Elyria, now has to pay those communities more after a rate increase. The city of Amherat has been paying an additional 29 cents per 100 cubic feet of metered water to the city of Lorain since May, 2000, without passing that increase on to the city's residents. The prior agreement with Lorain had Amherst paying $0.75 per 100 cubic feet of metered water, whereas they now pay $1.04 per 100 cubic feet Lorain justified the rate increase as being due to a $12.6 million 'renovation of a water purification plant and a replacement of city water lines costing $9.5 million. The former me, agreed to in 1995, was subject to review and adjustment every five yean. The city of Elyria also increased the cost of water sold to Amhem. According to Murphy, the prior rata of ap proximately $0.85 per 100 cubic feet of water was increased to $1.08 per 100 cubic feet. The city has been paying this elevated {nice since the beginning of this year, also without passing the added cost on to Amherst residents. That may change, however, Murphy said as he is currently having a rate study done to determine if an increase to residents' water bills is necessary to cover the increased costs to the city. "We're going to have to move on this pretty quick," Murphy said. "We don't know exactly what the increase will be if there is an increase." He said an increase may not be necessary as the utilities department is also looking to see if they divert water in onler to get more from the lowest cost provider, Lorain. Murphy also said that if that doesn't work, there isn't much else the city can do. "If you have to pay that higher rate, then you have to do it," he said. According to numbers from the department of utilities, the CONTINUED on page 2 Young politician hopes to lead his hometown as CC newcomer by ERIK YORKE News-Times reporter For most 20-year-olds, the most important issue on their minds is where the next party will be or how many days are left before they turn 21 years old and can drink legally. Nick Brusky, however, is more concerned with how the city of Amherst spends its money. Brusky will be the newest member of Amherst city council come January, winning one of three at- large council seals on the ballot in this month's election. This was his second attempt at running for city council, having lost in a three-way race for the fourth ward council seat in 1999. "I didn't have high expectations," he said of that election. He added that he had intended to run. mostly to gain experience. "I was pleased to see Jennifer (Wasilk) win," Brusky said. "I just think she's done a really good job." Brusky makes no claims to have the experience of'those currendy on council. He said that during his campaign, he dealt with the issue directly. "I'm sure some people have objections to my age," Brusky said. "I an inexperienced." . He continued, "When it comes to the age issue, the voters should look at the character. I felt I brought a lot of character and I felt I brought a lot to the community." Despite his age, Brusky said that he has learned many of life's lessons. Two years ago, while he was running his first campaign for city council, Brusky'. parents divorced. This left his mother, Vicki. near poverty. Brusky said that he thea went lo work to help his mother fi- payments." Another financial problem Brusky had to deal with happened around that same time, as he left for his freshmen year at Malone College in Canton. He had been counting on a football scholarship to help pay for his education, but when he was redshirted, that scholarship disappeared. It was too late for him to file for financial aid and Brusky was left in quite a lot of debt. It was then that he decided to return home to Amherst and attend school at Lorain County Community College (LCCC). He began there studying political science but would soon switch gears. Brusky, whose mother is a teacher at Nord Junior High School, said that teaching runs in his family. It wasn't long before he loo began feeling the call to teach. He still attends LCCC, but is now pursuing a degree in education. "I teach Sunday school at my church and I enjoy working with the kids," Brusky said. He said that he plans to apply for the university partnership program between LCCC and Ashland University.

Hypofractionated radiation therapy combined with the ONCEPT™ canine melanoma vaccine for canine oral melanoma
The Veterinary Radiation Therapy Oncology Group consists of a group of board-certified radiation oncologists across the nation dedicated to cooperative clinical trials to improve the survival of animals with cancer. The team at Tufts' Foster Hospital for Small Animals is part of this consortium and is currently enrolling patients. This organization is currently conducting an independent study to evaluate the treatment of canine oral malignant melanoma with coarse-fraction radiotherapy (8 Gy for 4 weekly fractions) in combination with the ONCEPT™ melanoma vaccine. Data for three treatment groups (concurrent radiation therapy and vaccine; radiation therapy alone; vaccine alone) will be collected. Given that the study is not funded, treatment selection will be based on owners preference. The primary objective of this study is to compare tumor progression between the treatment groups with a secondary objective of evaluating overall survival time. Continue reading

HAT YAI, Thailand (AP) — A spate of bombings and drive-by shootings Saturday in Thailand's insurgency-plagued south left five people dead and 13 injured, police said. The injured included eight soldiers and five journalists.
In the day's first attack, a bomb went off on a road in Ra-ngae district in Narathiwat province, injuring six soldiers who were on foot patrol, said police Col. Jiradet Phrasawang. Three of the soldiers were in serious condition.
The second bomb exploded an hour later about 100 meters (328 feet) from the first blast as a bomb squad and journalists were arriving at the scene, Jiradet said.
Two Explosive Ordnance Disposal officers were hurt in the second blast, and five journalists — a Thai photographer for the French news agency Agence France-Presse and two reporters from Thai television stations — were slightly wounded, Jiradet said.
The AFP photographer was identified as 44-year-old Madaree Tohlala.
Jiradet said Islamic insurgents were suspected of carrying out the bombings.
Later in the day in the same province, suspected insurgents staged drive-by shootings, killing four villagers riding on motorcycles, said Jiradet and other police officials.
Another attack occurred in Pattani province, where suspected insurgents on motorcycles fatally shot a 35-year-old farmer on a roadside in Panarae district, said police Col. Manit Yimsaai.
More than 5,000 people have been killed in predominantly Buddhist Thailand's three Muslim-dominated southernmost provinces since an Islamic insurgency erupted in 2004.
The regular attacks in the sub-region, with security officers as one of the main targets, are seen as a hindrance to the Thai government's attempt to revive peace talks with the Muslim militants after both sides signed a breakthrough deal in February, agreeing to hold discussions to ease nearly a decade of violence. New talks have repeatedly been postponed since insurgents in August accused the government of failing to respond to their demands.

Wheatfield resident Herb Wienke will turn 100 years old on March 8.
He has been blessed with exceptionally good health, takes no medication and still has a sharp mind, which the staff and residents at Sterling House, the Nash Road assisted living facility where Wienke has lived for the past 12 years, will confirm.
At Sterling House, Wienke delivers newspapers to fellow residents, participates in morning ministry, church services, Bible study and any entertainment offered at the residence. He enjoys watching football games and having visits from family and friends.
His family is planning an open house birthday celebration on Saturday, May 25, when he will be joined by out-of-state family members from California, Wisconsin, Virginia, Missouri and Ohio.
"God has truly blessed Herb throughout his life, and Herb has been a blessing to his family and many others whose lives he has touched," said his daughter Carolyn Chapin.
The oldest of eight brothers and sisters, Wienke contributed to the family income as a young teenager, working at his Uncle Gus' farm, then at Jones' Lumber Yard in North Tonawanda. He then worked at Wendt's Dairy in the ice cream division before starting at Carborundum's bonded division on Buffalo Avenue in Niagara Falls in 1935. He retired with 41 years of service at the age of 65 in 1976.
After retirement, he spent long hours refinishing wood furniture using his meticulous sanding, staining and varnishing skills. He still receives compliments from people who enjoyed his work.
Wienke married Eleanor DuBois in 1938. After 60 years together, she died in 1998. They had five children: Thomas Wienke of Lancaster, Calif.; Carolyn Chapin of North Tonawanda, Harris Wienke of Hamburg, Janelle Peters of Marinette, Wis.; and Albert Wienke of Lockport. There are also 10 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Wienke and his wife were very active members of the Wheatfield Seniors in the 1990s.
A lifelong member of St. James Lutheran Church in Bergholz, Wienke has served as treasurer, elder, trustee and planning board member, and participated for many years in Sunday school.
He also has been active in the community. He joined the Bergholz Volunteer Fire Co. in 1943 and is its oldest member. He served as the fire company's treasurer for 15 years.

Like I said I don't think "murderer" is the only thing that Culprit strictly means. At least not to Battler. To Battler in his theory the culprit is a liar or something that causes murders to happen. He never claimed anywhere that he murdered anyone. If I really wanted to stretch it I could say it's George and Jessica that give Battler an alibi by observing him and not the other way around.
The thing I'd mostly like go with is that Due to his sin, a great many humans on this island die. I think that's why he's going with that theory in episode 5 anyway. He blames himself because he finally figured out how he caused the murders. Which is why he can pin himself as a culprit.

Sorry to go off topic for a sec, but I had been searching for this for awhile with all the Everybodytrice theories flying around lately. (My favorite is the Kumasawatrice or Georgetrice not because I think they're true but because I have two really great (i.e. awful) pictures of that from those Umineko 4komas. 8) )
From EP1 ???? - Bernkastel is talking to 'us' or 'Battler' after Beatrice has left to prepare the next game.

A question ladies and gentlemen if you would be ever so kind to answer. In ep2 when battle attempts his fight back against the disappearance of Nanjo's and Kumasawa's corpse's resulting in beato's famous, resplendent with shocked beato face,You are incompetant! her laughter afterwards is also in red text.
I was wondering weather this was a mistake in how I'd installed the Eng patch (unlikely) or it was (more likely) a truthful expression of beato's joy of beating down Battler at his most triumphant. If anyone could answer I'd be most thankful, thank you kindly

A question though, if a number of the theories rely on people hiding in the rooms of the murder victims why would the story go so far in a early episode to attempt to disprove such a hypothesis?
Thanks though

The other is that theories which depend on those things are wrong.
There are various permutations between the two, of course.

Again thanks alot.
I'm rather new to mystery stories, watching Higurashi made me curious about Ryukishi work about year ago and I read through 1-4 back then. Since then I've finally finished Uni and have a few months of spare time on my hands so I decide (along with other things) to have a crack at Umineko again.
Apart from a pointless introduction thanks alot for the info again.

Well, well, assuming all scenes having Erika's name referred to as fake, then who was this Erika?
Even if we denied all scenes with Erika's presence, there were red texts referring to her.
We got so many red texts on her (rough translation by me, as I don't have the WH version):
(Before this game, Furudo Erika had no influence on Beatrice's game)
私が、探偵だからよ。 (Becase I am a detective)
親族会議以前に、ヱリカ、譲治、朱志香、真里亞、南條、郷田、熊沢は、屋敷より退出し、ゲストハウスへ移動 したものなり。 (Before the family meeting, Erika, George,,... moved to the guesthouse)
24時の時点で、屋敷以外に存在するのは、ヱリカ、譲治、朱志香、真里亞、南條、郷田、熊沢のみで ある(At 00:00am, the people outside of the mansion is Erika, George....)
絵羽の封印も、ミス・ヱリカの封印と同一のものデス。この封印方法は、ミス・ヱリカと絵羽が晩餐後に共同で 考案したものだからデス。 (Eva's seal and Ms. Erika's seal are the same type. This method of sealing was designed by Ms. Erika and Eva after dinner)
ラウンジでのヱリカ卿の見張りは完璧なりや。わずかの隙も油断も、1秒の見落としも無きにけり 。(Erika's lookout in lounge is perfect....)
それが、朝まで室内の異常を監視していた探偵であるヱリカ卿に与えられなかった以上、犯行は不可能デス…! !(From the morning the room was monitored by Erika..... crime is not possible.)
探偵は古戸ヱリカだぜ、今回の俺は探偵じゃない!!(Furudo Erika is the detective. This time I am not the detective!!)
My question is: if Erika did not have a distinct body, then who are the "Erika"s referred to in the above red texts, even if the peron imposing as Erika can change at different moment? I have not included the red texts from Ep6 yet.

Hum...for the golden truth, does EP6 say something about it. Who can use it and who can't ?
IMO, I think that the ones able to use it are the one that know the Rules X Y and Z.
I like the "justice" thing about it. Because it's described like "holy words" and is more like a finishing move, and it is what a judgement is.
Something like...
With the X blue truth that don't break the red truth, I aknowledge one on this theory as the truth.
In court only the judges can do that, but they don't need to know exaclty the truth, just the rules ?
My theory is that Kinzo's name is passed on as the title of the Ushiromiya family head! Ushiromiya Kinzo was already dead. And he passed 'that name' on to someone else! Everyone acknowledged that!! That way, 'All of those who met at the family conference recognized the existence of Kinzo'!! There wasn't even any need to disguise themselves as Grandfather. Because everyone recognized a new 'Kinzo'! Therefore, 'there's no way they were mistaken for someone else'!! As long as the preceding theory is not denied, nothing can change the fact that you are dead!!!
My theory is that Erika's name is passed on as the title of the guest! Erika was already dead. And she passed 'that name' on to someone else! Everyone acknowledged that!! That way, 'All of those who met at the family conference recognized the existence of Erika'!! There wasn't even any need to disguise themselves as Erika. Because everyone recognized a new 'Erika'! Therefore, 'there's no way they were mistaken for someone else'!! As long as the preceding theory is not denied, nothing can change the fact that Erika is dead!!!

In particular, Erika has a location in red and seems to move in red (though it never says when), Erika has a lookout in red, and Erika designs seals with Eva in red.
I would rather avoid naming names until I see a properly translated Ep6 though.
P.S.: Is it just me, or is it that when Meta-Erika is mentioned in red, she is always "Furudo Erika"?

You are right, whenever people refer to meta-Erika, it's "Furude Erika", when referring to the Erika on the game board, it's just "Erika." Dlanor has her own weird way of doing it, calling meta-Erika "<Miss> Erika" and game board-Erika "Lady Erika."
But I thought about it, and looked through some other red text, and I noticed that Erika is the only person who receives this distinction. All other human characters that appear on the game board have their full names and given names used interchangeably throughout the red truth.

A thought probably wrong, but why not:
Maria got a 'completely different name' from the one Kinzo wanted her to have, but still in the same design pattern. Rosa doesn't sound like she's the one to defy Kinzo openly, or at least, the first to go out and do it. One would think that if she dared to name her daughter Maria instead of whatever Kinzo wanted, prior experiments had to have occurred.
Could Jessica or Maria be the onboard "Erika"? If not, which red in particular stops them and when?

Maria doesn't work because the red places her in the first twilight in both of the chiru games.
Maria might work in episode 6 if you use my theory about episode 6's killer, but there are better candidates than Maria.
Jessica just doesn't make sense unless a title can somehow make her into two people. She also didn't want the epitaph to be solved while Erika did.
At 24:00, only Erika, George, Jessica, Maria, Nanjo, Gohda, and Kumasawa existed outside the mansion

As for 'Jessica did not want the epitaph solved', that is not strictly true, because she literally tells Battler that "we" (a list that has to include her, and probably includes George and Shannon) made an attempt to solve the epitaph during a prior conference.

Let me put it another way. Since both of them presumably "faked" their deaths and Natsuhi believes they are dead it is impossible for those people to corner Natsuhi as the murderer later without weird continuity problems. Therefore they cannot be Erika.

Hey, if you're arguing that Erika is really another person, how do you get by this red text?
Furudo Erika only increases it by one person.
This is in response to Battler asking about the count of people on the island. (See, he was already wise to the red about there being no more than 17 people... 8) ) The red was used by Lambdadelta in response.

It's a long read - but totally and utterly worth it. After interviewing ten former and current Nokia employees, and combining their insider information with publicly available information, Sampsa Kurri has written a long and detailed article about the history of Maemo and MeeGo within Nokia, and everything that went wrong - which is a lot. It's sad tale, one that reads almost like a manual on how to not run a large company. Still, between the bad decisions and frustrations, there's a red thread of hope that leads to Jolla.

Too true. Its tough to give a project to a fellow coworker and have him fix all the stuff you missed. its a blow to the ego. The better engineers realize that while others will always find their mistakes easier, they become better by having them discovered and by finding their peers mistakes as well. You have to look for the bad parts as well as the good parts.

Meatballs with a Naples Tomato Sauce
Makes 8 generous servings
Not only are these meatballs baked rather than fried, they're made of more than just meat-they're packed with a spicy vegetable purée and topped with a taste-tempting sauce fairly bursting with more luscious ripe vegetables.
3 tablespoons Chef Paul Prudhomme's Meat Magic®
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground dried ancho chile peppers
Up to 6 tablespoons olive oil, in all
2 (15-ounce) cans tomato sauce, in all
2½ cups chopped onions, about 2 medium, in all
2 cups chopped green bell peppers, about 2 medium, in all
1 cup chopped red bell peppers, about 1 medium
1 cup chopped yellow bell peppers, about 1 medium
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic, about 6 cloves
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme leaves, in all
2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano leaves, in all
½ teaspoon Chef Paul Prudhomme's Vegetable Magic®
2 (15-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 cups beef stock or chicken stock
1 pound ground beef
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons minced fresh serrano chile peppers
½ cup unseasoned bread crumbs
flour for dusting
2 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
how to prepare
Combine the Seasoning Mix ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. To start the sauce, you have a choice—either heat up to 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 6-inch skillet, or preheat the empty skillet over high heat until it's very hot, about 4 minutes. Add 1 can of the tomato sauce and, as soon as the sauce begins to sputter, reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook, carefully uncovering to stir every 5 minutes, until most of the liquid evaporates and the sauce is thick and dark red brown, about 40 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the heat, uncover, and continue to stir every 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture has stopped cooking, that is, when the sauce has thickened and is a dark brick-red color. Set aside.
Heat up to 4 tablespoons (¼ cup) of olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over high heat just until it begins to smoke, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1½ cups of the onions, 1 cup of the green bell peppers, the red and yellow bell peppers, and the seasoning mix. Cover and cook, stirring every 4 to 5 minutes at first, then more frequently as the vegetables brown and begin to stick, for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Remove 1 cup of the mixture, purée it, and refrigerate until cold, about 15 minutes. Reserve the mixture remaining in the pot for the sauce. Place a 4-quart pot over high heat and add the reserved vegetable mixture, the remaining green bell peppers, the remaining onions, the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the thyme, 1 tablespoon of the oregano, the salt, diced tomatoes, the browned tomato sauce, the remaining can of tomato sauce, and the stock. Bring just to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer briskly, stirring every 5 minutes, for 40 minutes. While the sauce is simmering, make the meatballs.
If you're able to work without interruptions, the timing should come out just about right—the meatballs will come out of the oven just at the end of the 40 minutes of simmering. If, however, the meatballs are done first, simply remove them from the oven and set them aside until you add them to the sauce, and if the 40 minutes are over before the meatballs are done, just remove the sauce from the heat, cover and set it aside, then re-heat it when the meatballs are ready.
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine the beef, the cold puréed vegetables, the egg, serrano chile peppers, and bread crumbs and mix gently but thoroughly. Wear thin latex or plastic gloves to shape the meatballs if you're sensitive to chiles or if you have a cut on your hand. Shape heaping tablespoons of the mixture into 1½-inch diameter meatballs—you should have about 40—roll them lightly in flour, then place on a lightly floured cookie sheet. Bake until the meatballs are golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the remaining thyme and oregano, add the brown sugar and meatballs, and simmer briskly for 5 minutes. Stir and scrape the pot bottom thoroughly, then cook for 5 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and serve immediately over your favorite pasta.

Congressman says NYPA's actions were destructive to Niagara Falls and city is owed restitution to reconnect the community with its waterfront
Congressman Brian Higgins was joined Friday by Niagara County resident Mamie Simonson, whose home, he said, was taken against her will by the New York Power Authority in 1959 and demolished in preparation for construction of the Robert Moses Parkway.
Simonson provided a first-hand account of the extent of NYPA's involvement with the parkway. Higgins' camp said she offered further evidence of the destructive impact NYPA's parkway put on local residents then and still today.
"The Simonsons' story illustrates the destruction caused to this community and its residents by NYPA's placement of the Robert Moses Parkway as a barricade to Niagara Falls and the Niagara gorge," Higgins said. "It is not their story alone, it is the story of an entire city devastated by NYPA's actions. Mrs. Simonson will never have her house back, but NYPA's leadership can right a wrong by giving this city its waterfront back."
Higgins' camp said Simonson and her late-husband, Marvin, were the last holdouts among the evictees on Whirlpool Street whose homes were demolished by NYPA for construction of the parkway. The Simonsons fought against NYPA's practices during the eminent domain process. In response, they received a blunt letter from NYPA which stated, in part, "Your house was in the way of a great public improvement and like other people similarly situated, it was necessary for you to move."
In January, Higgins kicked off his fight to help Niagara Falls reclaim its waterfront through removal of the Robert Moses Parkway, which separates the city from its iconic water. In a subsequent meeting, NYPA leaders insisted NYPA did not play a leading role in the project, contending it was led by the Niagara Frontier Parks Commission. Higgins followed up with a letter to NYPA restating its role and responsibility relative to the parkway and outlining potential funding mechanisms through which NYPA could fund the parkway removal project. The congressman also spoke about NYPA's obligation to fund the parkway in remarks on the Floor of the House of Representatives.
The total project cost is estimated to be upwards of $75 million. Although a small portion of that project cost (about $10 million) was recently dedicated by the state, Higgins contends that money should be spent elsewhere in Niagara Falls. He issued a report detailing NYPA's ability to fund the entire project and suggests in his letter to NYPA that it could do so by potentially funding the project through an enhanced settlement or a capital improvement of its own land.
Higgins was instrumental in securing a $279 million settlement from the New York Power Authority in 2005 that is currently transforming Buffalo's waterfront. He assumed representation of the City of Niagara Falls in 2013.

Glenbard West went toe-to-toe with West Suburban Silver foe York on Friday night in Elmhurst and found out like many basketball teams have that a bad quarter can send a squad's fortunes southward.
The Dukes (18-5, 7-2) prevailed 58-50 and a big reason was their 17-4 scoring advantage in the third quarter that held up despite the Hilltoppers' 21-point outburst in the final quarter.
"I was pleased with the guys' effort. But we have work to do to avoid what happen in the third quarter," said Glenbard West coach Tim Hoder, whose team dropped to 10-9, 3-5.
York senior David Cohn, who finished with a game-high 29 points, was effective from the opening tipoff until the end of the game. He scored 13 first-half points and nine in the crucial third quarter.
Hoder spoke highly of his team's defense but said certain aspects of it needed to be tightened up Friday night and weren't.
"It seemed that with a broken play or tipped rebound that David got his play. We needed to tighten up on loose balls and broken plays," Hoder said.
The Hilltoppers' Keith Hayes had a big night with a team-high 19 points, and his play was crucial to Glenbard West controlling the first half. He scored eight points in the first quarter, including two 3-pointers to give his team a 14-13 lead at the end of the first eight minutes. Glenbard West shot 5 of 8 from the field and York was 6 of 13.
"Whether he scores or not, Keith helps the team," Hoder said.
The Hilltoppers led 25-22 at intermission and continued a hot hand with 5-of-11 shooting.
Nathan Marcus' basket with just less than seven minutes left in the third quarter put Glenbard West up 27-26 and that was the last time the Hilltoppers had the lead.
The Dukes finished the quarter on a 13-2 run with Cohn scoring six of the points.
"He showed why he's a four-year guy. When we struggled offensively early, he took the game over," said York coach Vince Doran.
The Hilltoppers didn't go away as evidenced by them pulling to within 51-48 with 31 seconds left in the game on Jeff Levesque's three-point play. He was next on the Glenbard West scoresheet with 10 points.
