Blaise Pascal
French mathematician, physicist, religious philosopher, and master of prose. He laid the foundation for the modern theory of probabilities, formulated what came to be known as Pascal’s principle of pressure, and propagated a religious doctrine that taught the experience of God through the heart rather than through reason. The establishment of his principle of intuitionism had an impact on such later philosophers as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Henri Bergson and also on the Existentialists. Pascal’s life to the Port-Royal years Pascal’s father, Étienne Pascal, was presiding judge of the tax court at Clermont-Ferrand. His mother died in 1626, and in 1631 the family moved to Paris. Étienne, who was respected as a mathematician, devoted himself henceforth to the education of his children. While his sister Jacqueline (born in 1625) figured as an infant prodigy in literary circles, Blaise proved himself no less precocious in mathematics. In 1640 he wrote an essay on conic sections, Essai pour...

"Stain 1," Anna Kell

By Kathryn Kopchik

LEWISBURG, Pa. The Downtown Art Gallery will present "Pentimenti," a solo exhibition by Anna Kell, assistant professor of art at Bucknell University. The exhibition, which begins Jan. 16, may be seen through March 22. Admission is free during gallery hours.

Kell asks viewers to consider how nature is depicted in their homes and question what stories these objects may tell, saying "What does nature look like in your living room? Are there roses on your wallpaper, or seashells on a lamp?"

After a more traditional start painting images of nature as she saw it, Kell began to question this idea of "nature." Rather than looking at reflections of herself in the way a rock eroded or a plant grew, she realized that the unnoticed representations of nature in everyday objects might have something to say about society in general.

"I am assuming that if I examine them in a certain way, they will tell me something about the culture in which they are made" said Kell.

The title of the exhibition, "Pentimenti," comes from the Italian word for repentance. In an art context, "to repent" has been used to describe the alteration of a painting, evidenced by traces of under painting from a previous version. The act of "pentimenti" reveals the impulse of change or superimposing another's hand on an existing work of art.

Kell contemporizes this historical tradition, painting over ornate patterns already found on the surface of fabrics, such as a mattress covers, highlighting what is already there. She also takes notice of stains and other markings from the object's past, incorporating these in the final product.

The discarded mattress or scraps of wallpaper tossed aside are considered opportune for Kell, who connects with these objects from an anthropological perspective.

"Anna tells a beautiful story from traces of the forgotten," said Pam Campanaro, gallery associate. "I met with her for a studio visit a few months back and was taken aback by the methodical nature of her work.

"She incorporates her hand as a painter into the life of the found, stained object. The final product is a glimpse into what the object used to be as discarded trash in nature and how it exists now."

An opening reception will be held Thursday, Jan. 24, at 6 p.m. in the Downtown Art Gallery, located at 416 Market St. in Lewisburg. Kell will give opening remarks. The public is invited to engage with the artist and continue the dialogue surrounding her work. Refreshments and light snacks will be served. This event is open and free to the public.

Future public programming for "Pentimenti" will continue the discussion of the discarded object in nature. Kell will lead a walking tour through Lewisburg on Feb. 25 at 1 p.m. to uncover objects in the community of interest to tour participants, followed by a workshop on the contemporary pentimenti, allowing participants to alter the found objects. To participate, please contact Pam Campanaro at pam.campanaro@bucknell.edu.

Join the Fight to End Pediatric AIDS

Every single day, a thousand mothers transfer HIV to their babies during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. Without diagnosis and treatment, half of these children will die before their 2nd birthday.

With the right testing, care and treatment, we can end pediatric AIDS for good. The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is working every day to implement proven strategies to eliminate pediatric AIDS in every corner of the globe. But to continue and expand this work, we must rally a worldwide movement of people who make every mother's fight their own.

We have the knowledge. We have the tools. Now we just need the collective will to realize our dream of a world without pediatric AIDS. Join A Mother's Fight and pledge to support the global movement to end pediatric AIDS.

Acknowledge that the Racism of Harry Anslinger led to Cannabis Prohibition

If you've never heard of Harry Anslinger, Google the name and prepare to be disgusted.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of American lives are ripped apart, by a law that was inspired by quotes like "Marihuana makes the 'darkies' think they're just as good as a White Man" and "Marihuana makes Black Men look twice, at White Women".
Cannabis Prohibition is currently opposed by 70% of the American Public, and Medical Use is legal in 16 States and the District of Columbia, all while the Federal Government relies on studies that have been disproven many times over, to maintain a status quo, that is making Dealers and the Privatized Prison Industry rich, while destroying individual lives, families, and even entire communities, AND makes a mockery of the average American's claim to cherish and defend Liberty and Freedom.

It's time to put an end to 'Reefer Madness', once and for all.

About Me:

Dear chess friends,

My name is Yaro Zherebukh, and I live in St Louis, Missouri (moved recently from Texas). I accept students of all levels. My best student is GM Jeffery Xiong, with whom we have spent well over a hundred hours training. My best personal accomplishment up to this date is advancing to TOP 16 at the World Cup 2011 in Russia.

My approach is:

1) define major weaknesses of a student after the thorough analysis of a few recent games

2) work on eliminating the weaknesses

3) enrich student's knowledge and understanding of chess through studying the best examples of the openings, typical middlegame plans, and the endgame.

How this works:

1) Introduce yourself a bit, tell me your age (or your son's/daugther's age), rating, how long have been playing chess

2) Suggest the best times for you for having a lesson with me

3) Add me on Skype; my username: muscleman-bukh.

4) Make a payment to my PayPal account by using my email address

5) We are having a lesson on agreed day an time. For the first lesson, I like to call on Skype 5 minutes before the start to make sure everything is set up and works properly between me and the students.

Please leave me a message here on or email me at for the details or any questions you may have. You can also call me at 806-445-4011 in the US.

Summary and Analysis Chapters 16-17

After eighteen days, the three travelers arrive at the cave where Nuflo had first seen Rima's mother. No one is in the vicinity, of course, but Rima, still hopeful, climbs a nearby mountain to try to see some signs of human life. Abel follows her and endeavors again to convince Rima that the bird people no longer exist. Although Rima becomes angry and resentful at Abel's logical arguments, she finally listens to his frank, honest analysis of what probably happened to her mother's people. Abel's deduction that they were destroyed by hostile Indians so upsets the sensitive and overwrought girl that she falls unconscious, and Abel, alarmed, carries her back to the cave.

Nuflo, believing that Rima is dying, begs her not to forget her promise to pray for his salvation in the afterlife; and Abel is annoyed by the old man's selfishness during this crisis. Watching over Rima, Abel observes that she is gradually regaining consciousness. He kisses her, and she awakens fully. They declare their love for one another although Rima still regrets the loss of any of her own people with whom she could speak more intimately in their mysterious language. Abel and Rima make plans to live together in the forest, but Rima suddenly insists that she must go back immediately to the woodland in order to make new clothes for herself. She wants to welcome Abel when he and Nuflo come back to the "green mansions" as Nuflo first saw her mother, "standing before him, all in white — a dress that was like snow on the mountain-tops, when the sun is setting and gives it rose and purple colour." Stunned by this surprising decision and fearing for her safety, Abel is too dismayed at the thought of their separation to argue rationally with Rima. By the time he can run after her, Rima has already vanished "on that long journey alone."

Rima dominates the action of these two chapters because she comes to the moment of truth about her dreams regarding any survivors of her race, passes through the inevitable crisis when her hopes are shattered by reality, accepts the truth, and turns to Abel for his love. Ironically, at the moment when both lovers are happy, Rima shatters the joy of Abel by leaving for the "green mansions" alone. Indeed, Rima now disappears from the action — and does not reappear in the remaining chapters. Thus, the idyll between Abel and Rima has gone from one extreme to another, from the heights of ecstasy of a newly found love to the depths of depression over their separation. And Rima, of course, is the one responsible for this unfortunate decision — not Abel.

Rima's character has certainly unfolded during these two chapters. Again, as at Ytaioa, a dramatic encounter takes place between the two lovers on a mountain where the panorama of the natural setting lends a majesty and beauty to their emotional speeches; and again, the time of day is significantly indicated to augment the romantic mood of the meeting. On the first occasion, Hudson writes that "the day was windless and bright, with only a few white clouds floating at a great height above and casting travelling shadows over that wild, broken country"; on the second occasion, Abel begins "to feel a dry, bracing wind in my face and to see the desert spread out for leagues before me in the brilliant white light of a full moon." The bright light of the sun and the white light of the moon provide two different backgrounds for Hudson's canvases, but the scene is ironically illuminated greatly by these contrasting natural phenomena. One should, in fact, compare and contrast carefully the two trysts of the lovers at the peaks of Ytaioa and Riolama.

The former is lengthy, descriptive, and digressive; the latter is set in a more emotional atmosphere, moving inexorably toward a major change in the lovers' fortunes. Rima, again, occupies the front of the stage, but she is no longer the exuberant and carefree creature of the "green mansions" after her disappointment at the cave where she must come to terms with fate. Rima betrays her emotional tension by the angry outbursts with which she greets Abel's gentle admonitions and remarks. He sees in Rima a wild and savage aspect, "a beautiful human wasp, and every word a sting." Twice previously, when she prevented him from killing the snake and when she berated Nuflo for his concealment of her past, Abel has witnessed an irate Rima. Nevertheless, she is a very insecure, lonely, and frightened young girl, and her love compels Rima to listen to Abel's words. He has already grasped that his influence with Rima, after their discussion on Ytaioa, weighed heavily in her decisions; and now, at this most important crisis, Abel has again influenced her. Rima is so crushed, however, that Abel is frightened by this extreme — and dangerous — change in her, when "all that bright life seemed gone out of her." The deathlike swoon of Rima, so melodramatic and romantic, almost as in a play, brings down the curtain quickly on this chapter of Green Mansions.

Rima continues to run the gamut of emotions in the following chapter, which presents the culmination of the love between the two young people. Abel's kisses not only help to revive the despondent Rima but, more important, overcome her reluctance to confide completely in Abel. Abel now understands why Rima has avoided him on so many occasions, and he can explain forthrightly to her the reason: She has wanted to talk in her own language to her own people who will aid her to solve the mystery of this strange, new emotion — love. This answer, simple in explanation and not illogical in view of Rima's isolated life, provides the answers to what has happened in other chapters. Striving to erase past memories, and hoping to speak to Abel despite the language barrier, Rima remarks very maturely, "Oh, why do we cry for what is lost? Why do we not quickly forget it and feel glad again?" Love, on the verge of bringing happiness, trust, and understanding to Rima and Abel, is interrupted by the girl's announcement that she must return alone to the forest.

Rima's final change of emotional mood is, then, not unmotivated, especially as Hudson has depicted her in these two chapters. After all, Rima is essentially a romantic heroine who has reacted throughout the book as a character living an exotic existence and behaving intuitively. Rima does display a very realistic attitude at times, particularly in her initial hopes for the future with Abel, but she is fundamentally also an idea, or even an ideal, in Hudson's romance. For these reasons, therefore, Rima ignores the feelings of Abel about her departure, says innocently that she must weave for herself a new gossamer dress in which to greet him, and leaves so suddenly that she does not say farewell to Nuflo, or even take provisions.

Like Rima, Abel, despite his steadfast reliance upon reason and logic in winning Rima's love, is basically a romantic hero. All his speeches to Rima are expressions of his profound emotional involvement in her destiny, and he is lyrical in his several declarations of love for the girl. For example, Abel follows a pattern familiar by now in Green Mansions. Thoughts about Rima, now unconscious in the cave, lead Abel to remember something observed in nature; then comes a detailed description in poetic prose about the natural phenomenon and finally appears the moral or at least the practical application of this episode to life. In this particular passage, Abel has been gazing at "the mysterious loveliness of the still face" when he, "in that profound silence and solitude," senses "a strange feeling in me, hard, perhaps impossible, to describe." Drifting into a reverie, Abel recalls a time in the mountains when the sight of a single, white flower compelled him to come back repeatedly to view it. This Hata flower, as the Indians call it, is also the source of a beautiful legend: The flower appears for a month and vanishes at will, is unique, and brings good fortune to the discoverer. This combination of a local color sketch, peculiarly South American, and a scientific description is then expanded into a didactic conclusion. Why, thinks Abel, does life survive and bloom for one but is destroyed without reason for another? Applying his observation and thought to the immediate situation, Abel again moralizes: Why is not Rima another Hata-unique, immortal, and the bearer of happiness?

While Hudson has been advancing toward a profounder artistic expression in Green Mansions, the episode of the Hata flower, included in one of the most important chapters of the book, illustrates clearly and forcefully four aspects of the writer: his utilization of poetic prose as a basic feature of style; the employment of regionalism or indigenous elements as a background; his experience and reputation as a naturalist to provide accuracy and authority for the settings; and his moralistic or philosophical ambitions for the story. While little is directly added to the plot by such digressions, the value of Green Mansions would be diminished by the omission of vignettes such as the tale of the Hata.

Abel, then, in these chapters emerges as a tragic hero, doomed by his romanticism. He has idealized Rima to such an extent that he is almost unaware of the real setting and of Rima's personality. Abel dominated the situation and mastered the crisis when he conducted himself realistically without any neglect of his love for Rima. Now, at the apparent time of his success, Abel throws aside all thought of practical considerations — and loses Rima. For example, he is so immersed in his romantic idyll that he fails to prevent Rima from abandoning him for her impractical scheme of making the return trip alone. When Abel does finally respond to the demands of the real world and the practical issue at hand — Rima's flight-the girl has reached the lower plateau. Abel, "recovering my faculties" as he correctly analyzes his error, can only sink into a state of mental depression. Nevertheless, Abel's speeches to Rima, in addition to the obvious poetic qualities of the lines, reflect his deep passion, sincerity, and devotion to the girl.

These two chapters, therefore, are the high point of Hudson's idealization of Abel and Rima; this section is also the apex of their mutual love. The story's trajectory starts downward very definitely when Rima says to the young man: "I must go back alone, Abel."

Transitions® Lenses

Transitions® lenses are available for all of our frames and are suitable for any age, including children.

Transitions® lenses are designed to quickly adapt from clear indoors to fully dark in the brightest sun, offering a distinct advantage over ordinary clear lenses. But Transitions lenses aren’t just about clear and dark, they continuously adapt to changing light so they’re always exactly the shade you need them to be.

How they work

Transitions lenses give you more value as the adaptive lens technology provides superior comfort, convenience and protection when compared to ordinary eyeglasses!

Transitions lenses work harder than ordinary lenses by automatically regulating the amount of light reaching your eyes, helping you squint less while reducing fatigue and eye strain.

Find peace of mind with lenses that do more. Transitions lenses provide an uninterrupted visual experience, darkening in sunlight and quickly fading back to clear indoors.

You only have one pair of eyes, so protecting them is important. Transitions lenses block 100% of UVA & UVB rays to reduce the risk of the sun damaging your eyes.

Note: Transitions lenses will not tint indoors or in the car. If you are looking for sun protection while driving, please choose a polarized lens.

Issue No.03 - July-September (2010 vol.9)
pp: 4-5
Published by the IEEE Computer Society
Maria Ebling , IBM T.J. Watson Research Center
This issue's New Products column focuses on connected youth and their families. The author looks at two iPhone applications to help avoid the "are we there yets?" on long car rides and to help record memories of the places you'll visit this summer. The first application is effectively a reverse karaoke application: you sing; it accompanies. The second application creates panoramic images from sequences of individual images. The author then discusses three new devices—the Alex eReader; an Intel power management device; and the Microsoft Kin, a mobile phone that's connected to major social-networking sites.
Reverse Karaoke
LaDiDa (, a new iPhone application, provides endless fun for wannabe pop stars. Kids and teens can sing a tune into their iPhone or iTouch (see Figure 1), and LaDiDa will generate appropriate background music to accompany the tune. After selecting the music style, tempo, amount of pitch correction, and reverb effect, the user sings the tune. LaDiDa records and then processes it. A few minutes later, the user can play the completed song.

Figure 1. Sing a tune into your iPhone or iTouch; LaDiDa generates appropriate background music to accompany the tune.

After downloading this application and playing with it for a few days, both with my family and with some musician friends, I can attest that it is, at the least, amusing. The application seems to make too heavy a demand on the iPhone, which can result in awkward pauses during playback. Also, if you don't sing close enough to the microphone, it might not pick up your voice. Pitch correction improved my voice somewhat, but not enough for me to be willing to save anything I recorded.
The fun factor for teens depends greatly on their personality (specifically, their willingness to sing solo). The application has potential but needs a bit more maturity and power.
Panoramas made Easy
Debacle Software's Pano ( lets users take panoramic photos using an iPhone camera. The software offers a reasonably user-friendly interface, including transparent lines to help align the individual shots forming the basis for the panorama. The individual photos then go through a three-step process that begins with aligning each adjacent photo. Next, Pano applies color-correction to correct for the camera's autoexposure and white balancing. It then blends the images into a nearly seamless whole and crops it into a nice, neat rectangle.
I tried it out on a recent foray to New York City, taking panoramic photos of Riverside Church. The results (see Figure 2) are pretty impressive, given that I'm neither an experienced photographer nor an expert user. A friend's middle-school-aged daughter also tried it out with great success.

Figure 2. Pano combines multiple iPhone photographs into a seamless panorama.

The Library of Alexandria in Your Pocket
Teenagers and even younger children carry unreasonably heavy backpacks. The sheer number and size of the textbooks are astounding. Nerdy parents have been looking at electronic books as one possible solution to the problem, but nothing has yet made this a reality. In recent months, however, we've been getting closer to the dream.
Overshadowed by the media frenzy surrounding the iPad, Spring Design ( recently began offering the Alex eReader (see Figure 3). Alex is an Android device that offers two independent displays. The first, a 3.5" LCD display, offers full color and a touch screen. The second, a 6" electronic-paper display, supports paper-like reading comfort.

Figure 3. The Alex eReader stores and displays digital books, images, videos, and music. Users can highlight text, record voice comments, and add hyperlinks to the material.

Alex stores digital books, images, videos, and music on a removable SD (Secure Digital) card. It uses the Adobe EPUB format and allows downloads from Google Books and other partner bookstores. Users can highlight text, record voice comments, and add hyperlinks to the material. Like the iPad, Alex comes in different models. The Wi-Fi version is available on the Web for $399; EVDO/CDMA (Evolution-Data Optimized/Code Division Multiple Access) and HSPA/GSM (High-Speed Packet Access/Global System for Mobile Communications) versions are scheduled to ship sometime this summer.
Of course, as interesting as the Alex eReader might be, I'm not yet convinced it'll stand up to the abuse my children dish out.
Power over Power
This review is for the parents—Intel recently demonstrated a device that plugs into an outlet and monitors power use by all the gadgets and appliances in the home, from refrigerators to game consoles. The sensor can tell which appliances are being turned on and off on the basis of their unique electricity usage signatures. With this information, the system simply logs the time on and time off, which allows calculations of what hours a device is running and what lights were left on at what times.
This device lets you monitor your kids' energy consumption as well as game use. I'm intrigued by its possibilities because I'm constantly reminding my kids to turn off lights. What if I could give them an energy target and then charge them out of their allowance for exceeding it? It also helps you find ways to reduce your energy use—for example, you can see the effect of using cold water versus hot water in the washing machine.
Intel has made no announcements as to availability or expected cost.
Kin for Tweens and Teens
Microsoft has announced the perfect phone, dubbed "Kin," for teens or tweens. It isn't a smart phone and you can't install apps on it, but it's a big leap over a dumb phone in that it's plugged into Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. It's designed to make sharing photos and videos easy.
There are actually two versions of the Kin—Kin One and Kin Two. (Of course, I can't say these without thinking about Dr. Seuss, but I digress.) Kin One is a square slider phone with a 320 × 240-pixel screen, a 5-Mpixel camera, a VGA video recorder, and 4 Gbytes of nonexpandable storage. Kin Two is a rectangular slider phone with a 480 × 320 screen, an 8-Mpixel camera, a 720p video recorder, and 8 Gbytes of nonexpandable storage (see Figure 4).

Figure 4. Kin One (right) and Kin Two (left) are phones plugged into Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. They're designed to make sharing photos and videos easy.

Kin offers three features: Loop, Spot, and Studio. Loop is a live feed of your friends' status updates, integrated from all three major social-networking sites. Spot is literally a spot, at the bottom of the screen, where you drag the things you want to share and the people you want to share them with. Once you've done that, Kin sends the material over the medium of your choice, and—voil`—you're done. Finally, Studio is the backup site for all your stuff. Everything on your Kin phone is on your webpage so that, even if you lose your phone, you don't lose your stuff. The biggest omission in features seems to be a YouTube connection.
Kin is being sold in the US through Verizon and should be available in Europe this fall through Vodafone. Kin One retails for US$50, while Kin Two costs $100.

Material Flow around a Bobbin Tool for Friction Stir Welding

J. Hilgert, L. Hütsch, J. Dos Santos, and N. Huber
GKSS Forschungszentrum GmbH, Geesthacht, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

This study presents an approach to model the material flow around a bobbin tool for Friction Stir Welding (FSW). In this CFD model the aluminum is treated as a highly viscous non Newtonian shear thinning liquid. The model is formulated in a 3D Eulerian frame.

I cannot select a single “moment” in my FTC years, because there are so many memorable ones.

Some were inspiring, like our collective response to the horror of “9/11.” Some were gratifying, like the strong support for our “Do Not Call” rule. Some were disappointing, like the initially hostile judicial reaction to our unanimous views about pharma patent settlements.

I particularly welcomed the myriad opportunities to discuss our mission before private and public groups, including legislators in this country and officials in places as far away as Russia and China. I fondly recall the heartwarming fellowship at the Agency’s swearing-in, retirement, and award ceremonies—including my own.

Today, I think a lot about the lively debates in the regular weekly meetings with my Advisors. I had ten of the best: Holly Vedova, Lisa Kopchik, Tom Klotz, John Smollen, Mark Eichorn, Dara Diamond, Katherine Schnack, Eric Wenger, Mike Wroblewski and Beth Delaney. They were selected for their experience in areas where I particularly needed help, and encouraged to express any opinions that differed from mine.

The FTC’s principal mission is not to redress the past, but to establish ground rules for the future. We inevitably have to make predictions, and we all are fallible. My irreverent Advisors kept me grounded. They helped to craft my overall approach to the wonderful job I had for six years—and, indeed, the example of our spirited debates helps me to deal with some very different challenges today.

My first three couch surfing experiences was with Berenika and it was absolutely fabulous. When we made plans to travel she made all of the arrangements and did not tell me much about couch surfing, where we would be staying or that we would be couch surfing. The experiences that we had together and with our 3 hosts was life changing as we spent a perfect 14 days (minus a few hours) together. We were hosted in Negril, jamaica, Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Nassau Bahamas. I would like to thank her and all of our hosts for making couch searching and an eye-opening experience. I cannot wait for my next couch surfing adventure!

Knapp excited to return as part of new Raiders regime

February 27, 2012, 5:00 pm
Share This Post

INDIANAPOLIS -- Within hours of joining Dennis Allen's staff, new Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Knapp made a phone call to his quarterback.

Initially, there were questions about Carson Palmer's future with the Raiders after Hue Jackson, the man who brought him to Oakland in a blockbuster trade, was fired.But there is no longer any uncertainty about Palmer's role with the Raiders in 2012. Both Allen and Knapp have come out in strong support of the Raiders incumbent quarterback.

"I've heard all these great things about him before I got here and since I've been here," Knapp told before returning from the NFL scouting combine.

"Talking to him on the phone about a half-dozen times, and I think I'm just as excited to work with him as he is to work in our offense."

Knapp, who previously worked for the Raiders during the forgettable Lane Kiffin era, is excited, all right. He used a form of the word six times in a six-minute interview.What's not to be excited about?Knapp spent the past three seasons as quarterbacks coach with the Houston Texans. The allure of returning to California was great, but he said he was even more eager to sign on with Allen and new general manager Reggie McKenzie.

"There's a definite positive vibe going on," Knapp said. "I was very excited to see what Reggie's plan was when I came in and initially met with him.

"D.A.'s energy is contagious with everybody. The players are feeling it. The guys who have been in the building for a long time -- equipment guys, trainers, video guys -- are feeling it. It's neat to be a part of something at the ground level and build this thing."

There isn't a whole lot of building that needs to happen on offense, as Knapp already has the main component of a passing game with a veteran quarterback. And he is reunited with one of the more dynamic running backs in the league.

"I was here last in 2008, and Darren McFadden was a rookie that year," Knapp said. "I'm excited to get back with him. He really fits our run scheme well, as far as the zone scheme which I'll be implementing with our coaches. That's a great starting point for me."

While Knapp has been in the NFL, he has been on staffs that regularly enjoyed success on the ground with such running backs of varied styles, such as Garrison Hearst (49ers), Warrick Dunn (Atlanta), Justin Fargas (Raiders) and undrafted Arian Foster (Houston).And Knapp believes McFadden has the perfect running style for the offense the Raiders will employ.

"He doesn't mess around when he runs," Knapp said. "When he makes a cut, he's going north and south. And he has the ability to go the distance any time the ball is in his hands. That's hard to find in this business because there is so much speed on the field on defense. Darren has the attributes to be able to take the ball all the way and score."

Knapp said in addition to Palmer and McFadden, he has also spoken with pending free agent running back Michael Bush, backup quarterback Terrelle Pryor and guard Cooper Carlisle. Due to new NFL rules, his first chance to begin coaching the new system to the players will be April 2.

"There will be a learning curve," he said. "I think that happens with any transition with a new team. But we'll have plenty of time to get it implemented. Whenever we're in a start-up mode like we are here, like a start-up company, it's my job to make sure that we don't do everything at once but piece it correctly together. We'll have building blocks, so to speak, to implement the offense."

And he'll have plenty of help.Steve Wisniewski was retained from the former staff as an assistant offensive line coach. Knapp added Frank Pollack, with whom he coached with the Houston Texans. Pollack knows the zone scheme from his training with legendary line coach Alex Gibbs and Texans line coach John Benton.

The Raiders also retained running backs coach Kelly Skipper, who served on the same Oakland staff with Knapp in 2007 and 2008. Another key individual retained is veteran coach Al Saunders, who held the title of offensive coordinator under Jackson and is back as "senior offensive assistant."

"It was great to be able to retain Al Saunders, who knows football and football's football," Knapp said "And he has enough years of experience, and he'll be very helpful in game-planning and talking about personnel."

With Allen's background on the defensive side, Knapp figures to have autonomy to run the show on offense. But Knapp said he does not look at it that way.

"I want Reggie's input on personnel and D.A.'s input on football stuff," Knapp said. "Those are two bright minds. That was a big reason I came here. The environment of how Reggie and D.A. envision the building and the team really coincides with what I believe it takes to play winning football. So I'm looking forward to getting a chance to work with those guys to help implement our offense and work together to win a championship."

Pa. utility agency says 451K remain without power

      A Potomac Edison worker begins to remove a number of fallen branches from a high voltage line in Frederick, Md. Many area homes and traffic lights were without power.
    Associated Press

Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA -- Pennsylvania's utility regulator said Thursday that 451,000 customers were still without power as the south-central and Philadelphia regions worked to recover from a crippling ice storm.

Power companies provided the latest figures to the Pennsylvania Utility Commission as of 11 a.m., agency spokeswoman Jennifer Kocher said. They represented a decrease in outages of about 300,000 from 24 hours earlier.

Utilities warned it may be late Friday before most customers will have their service restored after damage that Kocher likened to a hurricane.

The Northeast's second winter storm of the week dumped more than a foot of snow in some places on Wednesday, forcing schools, businesses and government offices to close, snarling air travel and sending cars and trucks sliding on slippery roads and highways -- an all-too-familiar litany of misery in a winter where the storms seem to be tripping over each other.

What made this one stand out was the thick coating of ice it left on trees and power lines.

"Many of them already had a coating of snow on them," FirstEnergy spokesman Mark Durbin said. "It's that weight that crushes our equipment. Multiply that by hundreds of locations."

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett issued a disaster emergency proclamation, freeing up state agencies to use all available resources and personnel.

About 3,500 workers from as far away as Canada and Arkansas were working with PECO, southeastern Pennsylvania's dominant utility, to restore power, company spokesman Ben Armstrong said. The repair efforts would extend into -- and possibly through -- the weekend, he said.

"The damage that we are seeing in the field with the number of trees down, not only on lines but blocking roads and more, presents a number of logistical issues," Kocher said. "This damage is very similar to what we see during hurricanes."

The temperature dipped to about 20 degrees overnight and forecasters said it would remain chilly through the weekend, with daytime highs around freezing and overnight lows in the teens. Shelters and warming centers were established from the Philadephia area west to York and Lancaster.

Officials pleaded with people not to use generators or gas grills indoors after 20 to 25 people in the Philadelphia area were taken to hospitals with carbon monoxide poisoning.

While some homeowners fired up generators, others, like Dave Dixon and his wife, relied on the generosity of others to power them through. They planned to stay with friends overnight Thursday -- and possibly longer.

"If we wear out our welcome, we'll get a hotel," said Dixon, whose home in the Philadelphia suburbs went dark at 6 a.m. Wednesday.

In Wyncote, just north of Philadelphia, Hannah Reimer took to Facebook to ask for a kerosene heater and recommendations on where to buy the fuel.

"It worked! Someone from my church, who has power, has a kerosene heater and my husband is picking it up now," she said Wednesday night.

Reimer and her husband then planned to pay it forward, inviting their neighbors to spend the night.

"Our neighbors don't have heat, either," she said. "Or a kerosene heater."

In neighboring Maryland, where 76,000 customers were in the dark, power companies gave a restoration estimate of Friday. More than 5,000 New Jersey customers also lacked electricity.

The storm was the second-worst in PECO's history -- eclipsed only by the nearly 1.8 million that were left without power after Superstorm Sandy in 2012 -- with the utility reporting 623,000 outages at one point Wednesday.

Several hospitals were running on backup generators. Most decided to cancel elective surgeries and out-patient testing.

Dr. John Kelly, chief of staff at Abington Memorial Hospital outside Philadelphia, one of the affected facilities, said critical staff needed for any emergencies would be staying overnight. He said the hospital had plenty of fuel and food.

Japanese Miyazaki Wagyu 12oz Ribeye Steak Kobe Beef Style

As low as: $110.00

ENJOY THE MOST MEMORABLE DINING EXPERIENCE EVER: Japanese Wagyu ribeye, from Miyazaki, Japan. Of the four unique Wagyu breeds raised in Japan, Miyazaki Wagyu is Japanese Black Wagyu, known as Kuroge Washu in Japan. This breed accounts for 90% of Wagyu raised in Japan. For it to qualify as Miyazaki Wagyu beef, the beef must grade A-4 or A-5. At Debragga we use only A5 grade with a marble score 10 or higher! Less than 3 % of all Wagyu produced in Japan receives this quality grade (grade is determined by several factors, including marbling ( 1-12), fat color ( 1-7), muscle color ( 1-7), firmness/tenderness of meat, and muscle dimension. If any of these criteria score less than perfect, it cannot be A-5).

What makes Miyazaki’s reputation for the finest Wagyu beef is a Culinary “Olympics” held every 5 years in Japan. The beef is judged over 9 criteria. To win this competition once is a lifetime dream. Miyazaki Wagyu has won the last TWO competitions, demonstrating that they maintain standards over the long term. This achievement clearly indicates that the Japanese consider Miyazaki Wagyu to be superior to all other Japanese Wagyu, including the beef from Kobe.

The team at DeBragga is proud to have the exclusive distributorship of Miyazaki Wagyu, 100% pureblood wagyu. Located on the southern Island of KYUSHU, the Prefecture of Miyazaki is the finest growing region in Japan, with a year round temperate climate conducive for producing excellent Wagyu. The cattle are raised on pasture until 16- 18 months, and then fed an increasingly rich diet of grains, primarily barley-based, for more than 450 days. They are antibiotic- and hormone-free, and they are given no animal by-products in the feed. The animal husbandry is the finest is the world (though not massaged by young maidens today, they still consume the occasional beer!).

E3 09: Star Wars: The Old Republic live demo impressions

2009-06-03 15:43:00·  2 minute read   ·  Brad Nicholson

A few minutes ago I got the opportunity to see a live demo (hands off, unfortunately) of BioWare and LucasArts’ MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.

The focus of the first part of the two-part demo was on the Bounty Hunter class. It opened with a bit of story (unique to the class) that then morphed into a routine “kill them all”-type mission where the player was tasked with blasting groups of gun-toting brigands. The presenter stressed that the game -- including the beginning -- would always allow you to feel like the hero. In other words, you won’t grind against single enemies; always groups and always hectic.

Anyone familiar with a modern MMO will feel at home with SW: TOR’s combat system. Special power bubbles with numerals line the bottom of the screen and action is fairly relaxed, or at least, actions have a certain cool down time.

The second part of the demo dealt with the dialogue system. In this vertical slice, I saw one of BioWare’s dialogue-driven moral choices being made and was told (of course) that it would affect the rest of the game. The consequence of the action seemed only immediate; I can’t imagine BioWare would allow you to stay unhappy with a choice forever. Still, it was interesting to see, especially after witnessing the multiplayer dialogue system. (Other players you’re partied with will be in on the conversations for missions; It’s a way to make the narrative work for all parties.)

I also saw a bit of the recently announced Smuggler class. Like Han Solo, the smuggler class isn’t much of a defensive or aggressive type of character. Because of that, BioWare had to create something beautiful: a cover system specifically for the smuggler. (Little green indicators show you where you can duck; some special powers can only be activated from this position.)

By the way, the smuggler can kick enemies in the nuts. Awesome.

Theatrhythm: news and videos

I adore Theatrhythm's doll-like recreations of iconic Final Fantasy characters. So does pixiv artist Mafen if his portfolio is any indication. Check out our gallery below for Samus, Link, Fire Emblem's Lyndis, and The Space Adventure's Cobra re-imagined as Theatrhythm characters. Maybe we'll get something along these lines via DLC in the future. Though I have a feeling DLC characters wouldn't include Nintendo's flagship characters. Just a vibe I'm getting here.

Sonic and friends adorn this Christmas tree

The folks at 8bitfix have a holiday tradition. For the past couple of years, they've decorated their Christmas tree with Perler Bead sprites -- the first was a general gaming tree, the second was Mega Man-themed. This year, it's all about the Sonic series. Characters represented include Sonic (of course) in his various incarnations and poses, the Chaotix, the Wisps from Sonic Colors, classic Robotnik, and more. Beneath the tree is a bunch of Jazwares Sonic figurines. There's even a Super Sonic wreath!

There's a tinge of sadness to this story, however. One staff member's father came in to help decorate and admire the tree. The next morning, he passed away. At least he was able to share in one final Christmas memory with his family.
