Missing the Mark: A Report on NYC’s Back to Work Program & Its Effectiveness In Meeting Employment Goals for Welfare Recipients

This report, released in November 2008 as a follow-up study to The Revolving Door (2005), explores HRA’s Back to Work (BTW) Program, focusing on how it compares to the Employment Services and Placement (ESP) Program and what impact the program changes have and on clients and vendors. The BTW Program was designed to serve both applicants and recipients of public assistance – providing assessment, case management, and job development services. Contracts for the BTW Program were signed in July 2005 and NYC allocated $159.6 million over three years to implement the BTW Program and serve approximately 12,800 individuals per month. The research draws from short conversations with 954 BTW participants at sites across the city, 50 focus group participants, 152 phone survey respondents, in-depth interviews with 10 organizations that serves as BTW contractors or subcontractors, and HRA contracts, policy manuals, training materials, site visit summaries, and Vendor Stat Reports.

test for echo
by Neil Peart

Is there anybody out there?

   That's what the title is all about. Everybody needs an "echo," some affirmation, to know they're not alone. Sometimes that can be life's most precious discovery -- somebody out there who feels the way you do. You ask yourself "Am I crazy?", "Am I weird?", and you need some affirmation: the echo. While the answer to those questions may still be "Yes!," it's good to know that you're not the only one. You are not alone...

   And we're not either. During the making of this record, my partners Geddy and Alex posted some goofy "Inspirational Slogans" on the walls of the studio. Like this one:

individually, we are a ass; but together, we are a genius

   Like most Inspirational Slogans, it's hyperbolic (and goofy), but expresses a humble truth. Another previous discovery to make in life: we do our best work together. And have the most fun too. (That's the "genius" part)

   We had taken a long break from being "a genius together." After the "COUNTERPARTS" tour ended in May of '94, we took almost a year-and-a-half away from the band, and during that time Geddy and his wife produced a baby girl, Alex (as "VICTOR") produced a solo album, and I produced a tribute to the big-band music of Buddy Rich. We worked; we traveled; we lived our lives; and it was fine.

   All of those activities kept us off the streets and out of trouble until October of '95, when we assembled at Chalet Studio, a country retreat just outside Toronto. From my little writing-room at one end of the house, I looked out over the fields and autumn-tinged treetops all the way down to Lake Ontario. With this pleasant backdrop to my computers screen, I began sending a stream of lyrics to the small studio at the other end of the house, where Geddy and Alex hunched over guitars and computes.

   In past writing sessions, the two of them often "built" the songs as they went, matching verses and choruses and roughing out the arrangement on a demo tape. At that point we would all listen to the song, and discuss what was good and what might be improved, both musically and lyrically. So much comes clear in that unforgiving form (guitars, vocals, and drum machine) and for me, with my lyricist-hat on, the first time I hear the words sung is a revelation. Unsuspected nuances -- and flaws -- and thrown into sharp relief.

   But this time they chose another method: as the musical ideas emerged, they would go through the lyrics and try to match up a verse or a chorus, record that fragment, then move on to something else. They didn't want to get bogged down in the "jigsaw puzzle" of assembling whole songs, but rather keep the momentum going with a flow of fresh ideas. Fair enough, of course -- whatever works! -- but this reporter was growing a little anxious when a couple of weeks went by and he still hadn't heard anything.

   However, I continued "feeding the machine" with more lyrics and when I need a "left-brain break," I could go have a bash on the small practice kit in the hall outside my room. During our hiatus, instead of getting away from drumming, it had actually assumed a new importance in my life -- after thirty years of playing the "traps" (for "contraption"), I was able to step away from performing and really explore drumming, and it became a revelation to me.

   So, as the days went by I was doubly eager to hear something new. The left brain wanted to know if any of the words were working out, and when I switched hemispheres and practiced my drumming, the right brain wanted some songs to work on. Finally the day came when Geddy and Alex were ready to play me some completed music, and called me into the studio. All a little nervous, we glanced around the Lerxst Sound console and played the tape.

   Nothing to be nervous about -- I loved what I heard. Wearing my lyricist-hat, it was gratifying to hear those endlessly fussed-over words come alive in song, and wearing my drummer-hat, it was inspiring to hear so many musical directions to explore, and all the possibilities for rhythmic fun and games. This was going to be good.

   Now we began the process of refining the arrangements and developing our individual parts. And now it began to snow -- in Biblical proportions. An early blizzard struck on the first of November. Artic winds swirling in a deep blanket of snow over the woods and pastures, and that seemed to be the weather forecast until the record was finished -- six months later. No coincidence that the Artic theme pervades our cover art, for it certainly pervaded our working environment.

   By early December the songs were nearly all written, arranged, and recorded (to varying degrees of refinement), and we were joined by Peter Collins (with his snowboots). In previous years, Peter had been our co-producer on "Power Windows," "Hold Your Fire," and "Counterparts," and once again he came through for us, suggesting many small-but-critical improvements to the arrangements and our individual parts. Perhaps Peter's greatest contribution is his instinct for pointing us in directions we would never have imagined.

   Which, of course, is exactly why you have a co-producer.

   As the process continued, Peter kept his ears on the "overview" of the songs and performances and let the three of of us, and recording engineer Clif Norrell (Faith No More, R.E.M., Catherine Wheel, etc..) worry over the "inside" stuff -- the nuts-and-bolts of equalization, relative balances, and mathematical precision, Clif's experienced and sensitive cars helped to translate the sounds we imagined into the sounds we heard (no small feat!).

   At the beginning of January we started recording at Bearsville Studios, in the Catskill Mountains of New York State, and naturally we arrived there on the very day of the "Blizzard Of '96." Back in Toronto, we moved into the cozy little world of Reaction Studio, and still the snow kept falling (for forty days and forty nights). By April, Spring out to have been sniffing around, but the flurries continued as we moved into McClear Place, ready for the final mix.

   Different people have different reactions to this crucial time. For myself, an impatient sort who likes quick gratification, I call it "The End Of Waiting"; while Geddy, still harboring visions of sudden perfection and miraculous transformation, refers to mixing as "The Death Of Hope." For Alex, there are more important concerns: Inventions. Dinner. Louder Guitars.

   Mixing engineer Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine, Faith No More, etc.) came on board at this point (with his snowboots), all fresh and untainted by the recording process.. Working quickly and intuitively, Andy was able to take all of that music we'd lived with for so long and weave it into new and unexpected patterns. When we heard his mix of a song for the first time, invariably we'd say something like, "Wow -- I never thought of it like that before!"

   Which is exactly why you bring in a mixing engineer.

   And that's our little story: We took a long break. We made a record. It snowed a lot.

   Oh there's more -- a whole cinematic "back-story," some of which can perhaps be read between these lines: All the years leading up to where we are today, the eager determination we brought to this project, the dedicated time and effort that went into making it (and not just when it was snowing, either -- two summers went into it as surely as did two winters. Or twenty years. Or thirty years).

   And, of course, there are all the songs too, and what's "between the lines" in them. How the lyrics to "Test For Echo" (a collaboration between this reporter and Pye Dubois, like "Tom Sawyer," "Force Ten," and "Between Sun And Moon" before it) give a video-view of this wacky world of ours, and offer this tacit response: "Excuse me -- does anybody else think this weird?"

   HALLO-O-O-o-o! Test.. for... echo... Is anybody out there?

   "Virtuality" takes a similarly ironic view of modern life -- after all, what the heck is a "virtual song?" And who would want to dance to it? Same in "Resist," with the adaptation of the Oscar Wilde quote: "I can resist anything except temptation." Well, really, -- what else is there to resist?

   Like the way I resist the temptation to talk about the music itself, just out of the "group modesty" (although a great baseball philosopher once said, "It ain't braggin' if you actually done it!"). I probably shouldn't even mention all the fine guitar solos and vocal performances, and how my colleagues shine on songs like "Totem," "Resist," "Time And Motion," "The Color of Right" -- hell, all of them.

   "Individually, we are a ass..." Yes, that part's true enough, but still - after so many years of apprenticeship, I believe we're finally starting to get somewhere. Together.

   Whenever we get there, and wherever there is, I sure hope we'll look out from that stage and find an audience waiting. Otherwise it will be like Gertrude Stein's comment on a certain midwestern city: "We went there -- but there was no there there."

Test... for... echo...

Is there anybody out there?

Alex Lifeson

he old days. Yep, I remember them days. Why, we was so poor we thought "grammar" was my Mom's Mom! My old Dad got a third part-time job washing trees in the park so's he could afford to buy me a $50 Conora guitar. Made in Japan when that mean't somthin'--Cheap!! No fancy-shmancy bells and whistles on that beaut, no sir. Just pure, no sustain, dull, crappy sound--but that was the style at the time.

Yep, I remember them days.

We was so poor we couldn't afford to think about owning a amp, let alone talk about owning one. I had to borra this one from Very Old Doc Cooper next door, who was born older than his parents. They say he went plum crazy one day and died after eatin' a whole bushel of 'em. Anyway, back then he used to loan me his Paul amp, which had the same crappy sound that was the style at the time.

My old Dad got even another job as an electrician so's he could legally get electrical tape so's I could illegally tape "VOX" on the front of it. Them Vox amps was for rich guys like the Beatles, which was the group I was hoping to join 'cause I heard from some guy that they was good. I never got that job 'cause I also heard that you had to have your own stuff to get in that group. Also, I was only thirteen.

I didn't have no kind of equipment 'cause there wan't no other to have. In them days, you had a guitar, a amp, and maybe a real pick. And you always carried your stuff to the gig, which was for free. Why, in them days a "roadie" was when that little kid next door pooped in the middle of the street! You had to be real careful when you walked to the gig, let me tell you.

And, we was so poor we couldn't afford to have good enough friends at them gigs who would like our sound only because they were our friends. Instead, we had the kind of friends who went "Shut up you stupid sound too loud, man!"

"Yeah? You shut up stupid lousy friends!"

Anyhoo, I remember them days. And what days they was.

Neil Peart

he Drums? Well, they're Stewarts, of course, with an 18" Capri bass drum I got in a trade from my friend, and featuring the finest Ajax cymbals from Japan. (As my colleague Lerxst pointed out, those were the days when "Made In Japan" really meant something--none of you quality materials and meticulous workmanship then, boy!)

Nowadays, although my drums are red sparkle once again (in the spirit of my "starting over" drumming-wise), there are a few more of them, and they are American-made DWs, right down to the pedals, stands, and even (shock, horror!) the snare drum. "Old Number One," the Slingerland wood-shell snare I've used since forever, has been retired from the field after a glorious career, and a couple of fine DW snares have taken it's place.

The toms are 8", 10", 12", 13", 15" (two), 16", and 18", the bass drum is a 22" (with a pair of 18" "cannons" on the back setup), mixed in with two 13" piccolo snares, Akai samplers driven by d-drum pads, Kat midi-marimba, and Shark pedals, and the usual selection of cowbells and windchimes.

The heads are Remo white-coated Ambassadors (just for a change), and the cymbals are by Zildjian, except for one Chinese Wuhan. My sticks are the Promark 747 "Signature" model, in Japanese white oak.

My teacher for the past couple of years has been Freddie Gruber, and I would like to thank him for leading me down the paths of righteousness.

Geddy Lee

hat I did on my summer vacation (or, "A Guy's Gotta Do What A Guy's Probably Gotta do!")

Hey there! Hi there! Ho there! But first, let me point out how difficult it is these days to find shoes like I'm wearing in the above photo--real Beatle boots!

Anyway, it's time once again for me to ramble on for a few paragraphs. So let me say "welcome to the show," and also, "thanks." Why thanks? Well--to be perfectly frank--when you've taken a couple of years away from touring and recording, you're really not quite sure if anyone will still be interested when you decide to come back to it! So, for your continued interest and support, I would like to offer you a laurel, and hardy handshake, and sincerely say thank you.

Yuccch!! Enough warmth! Now--what I did on my two-year "summer" vacation? Oh... a lot of domestic-type stuff that is really only of interest to other people that are living a domestic-type model of life. You know the scene: have kids, watch "Pingu," learn how to feed the family without ordering in, play Fantasy League Baseball, build a house, and of course the obligatory experiments with facial hair. Stuff, I suppose, that doesn't make for very "copy." But, you know, a guy's gotta do... blah, blah!

And so it goes that after the calm must sooner-or-later come the storm. And not a minute too soon! Alright, already--I confess! I was ready to write and ready to roll. So here we go!!

Peace, Geddy

P.S. For Those of you who find this stuff interesting, here is my Kwipment List for the Test For Echo tour; Basses: Fender Jazz. Amplification: Trace Elliot Quadra 4 amplifiers, Trace Elliot Gp-12 smx pre-amplifiers, Trace Elliot 1 x 18" and 4 x 10" speaker cabinets, Palmer PDI-03 speaker simulator, SansAmp model PSA-1. Keyboards: a whole big bunch! Effects: Commodore Deluxe Skake Maker Trio, Osterizer Deluxe 2-Speed Blender, Proctor-Silex Deluxe Juicit Oscillating Strainer, Frigidaire Deluxe Refrigerator, Beatrice Deluxe #2 Manual Meat Grinder, Morphy-Richards Deluxe Automatic Toaster.

The recipient can unlock the data by just starting the self-extracting file within Windows and entering the password. The  only requirement  for  self-extracting  files is  that  the  recipients  must  be  running  some form of Microsoft  Windows. All  they  need  is  the password  to  access  the contents i.e. a totally secure system is possible without any  modification to the existing  mail system. The only requirement is that the mail system must support file attachments.

Bullet Intuitive interface

to minimize the learning curve, and make using the product easy to use.

Bullet Transparent to the end user

Designed to hide the complexities of encryption technology from the end user.

Bullet Command Line Options

Secure IT allows to encrypt and decrypt files from the Command Line. You can group a series of encryption and decryption commands in a single or multiple batch files and run it to get the desired results.

This one is for my dad who died in 2006 in his battle to cancer. Since his death I wanted to copy his handwriting and make it into a font but it's hard since I
don't have all the letters from how he used to write. So some of the letters I copied from his handwriting and I filled in the blanks with how I think he used to write.

Rest in Peace dad...

More famous Jameis: Winston wins Heisman Trophy
by The Associated Press
Dec 14, 2013 | 139 views | 0 0 comments | 38 38 recommendations | email to a friend | print
NEW YORK — Jameis Winston left voters no choice but to give him the Heisman Trophy. And like every other Florida State victory this season, it was a blowout.

The quarterback they call Famous Jameis became the youngest Heisman winner and the second straight freshman to win the trophy Saturday night, earning college football's most prestigious individual trophy award with a performance so dominant even a criminal investigation couldn't derail his candidacy.

"I cannot explain the feeling that I have inside right now," Winston said. "I'm so overwhelmed. It's awesome."

When his name was announced, he popped from his seat and quickly made his way to his mom and dad for hugs and kisses. He smiled and laughed through most of his acceptance speech.

He talked about trusting in the "process" on the field and in life and "after all the things I've been through this past month." He got choked up a bit when talking about his parents.

"When you see your mom and you see your dad and they've been struggling through this whole process and now you see a smile on their face, it comforted me," he said later.

Winston received 668 first-place votes and 2,205 points. He finished 1,501 points ahead of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron for the seventh-largest margin of victory in Heisman history, despite being left off 115 of the 900 ballots returned.

Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch was third, followed by Boston College's Andre Williams, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel and Auburn's Tre Mason.

Manziel was the first freshman to win the Heisman last year, and was trying to join Ohio State's Archie Griffin as a two-time winner. Instead, Winston made it two redshirt freshman winners in the 79-year history of the Heisman. He also became the youngest winner at 23 days short of 20.

The 19-year-old also was investigated last month for a year-old sexual assault complaint, but no charges were filed and the case was closed four days before Heisman votes were due.

"I really believe that people actually just trusted me. People obviously saw us play. But that comes from my team, too," Winston said.

Winston is the nation's top-rated passer and has led the top-ranked Seminoles (13-0) to a spot in the BCS championship game against No. 2 Auburn on Jan. 6, his birthday. The former five-star recruit from Bessemer, Ala., made college football look easy from his very first game. On Labor Day night, on national television, Winston went 25 for 27 for 356 yards and four touchdowns in a victory at Pittsburgh.

"I can't explain how truly intelligent he is," Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. "He always wanted to know why he had success or why he had failure so he could either repeat it or fix it."

There wasn't much failure on the way to becoming the third Seminoles quarterback to win the Heisman. The last was Chris Weinke in 2000.

Winston and Florida State were cruising toward an undefeated season when news broke of an unresolved sexual assault complaint against him made to the Tallahassee Police Department last December.

The dormant case was handed over to the state attorney's office for a full investigation. A female student at Florida State accused Winston of rape. Winston's attorney said the sex was consensual.

During three weeks of uncertainty, Winston continued to play sensationally, while other contenders stumbled or failed to distinguish themselves. If voters were looking to Manziel or McCarron or Lynch or Williams or even Marcus Mariota of Oregon to give them a good alternative to Winston, it didn't happen.

The Heisman Trust mission statement says: "The Heisman Memorial Trophy annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity."

It's a statement that has put the Heisman in awkward situations before. In 2010, Cam Newton played the season under the cloud of an NCAA investigation. He had also had legal troubles while in college. But like Winston, there was no doubt he was the best player and he won the award.

Reggie Bush had his 2005 Heisman stripped after the NCAA determined he had violated its rules during that season. But the Heisman trust did not ask Billy Cannon and O.J. Simpson to return their Heismans after they were sent to prison.

The accusations against Winston were serious and documents released by the police with the accuser's allegations were not flattering to him. It probably explains why so many voters left him out of their top three. Last year, Manziel appeared on 92 percent of the ballots. Winston appeared on 87 percent this year.

"Everyone has their own opinion," Winston said. "It's basically a numbers game and I was blessed to have the majority vote."

There was no doubting his on-the-field credentials. Winston is on pace (190.1) to break Russell Wilson's record for best passer efficiency rating in a season and set FBS freshman records for yards passing (3,820) and touchdown passes (38). Florida State's average margin of victory is 42 points, and Winston has spent most of the Seminoles' fourth quarters resting.

The investigation has taken some of the shine off Winston's Heisman coronation, at least for some people. But if the question is simply who was college football's best player in 2013, Famous Jameis was the clear answer.

Jeff Porter Leaves @ScalaInc

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

One of the juiciest bits of gossip we came across whilst in NYC last week was that Jeff Porter has left Scala.

Tom Nix didn’t feel fit to tell us this on the Monday of that week when we had breakfast, but anyhow, we now seemingly have another digital signage expert for hire.

Jeff’s new web site states “Need an expert to help you in digital signage? You’ve come to the right place. After 18+ years at Scala…I’m your ‘digital signage expert’ for hire. Whether your <sic> just starting out, or you’ve been plugging away for years…I can help you avoid those costly mistakes and get your network to bring you the promised ROI you’re looking for. Give me a call at 610-202-7676 or drop me an email to get started!”

PorterDigitalSignage can be found here.

Jeff Porter was put in the position President of SignChannel in Scala CEO Tom Nix’s first management reshuffle back in December 2011, but has held numerous management positions in the company, including a stint as CEO 2000 to 2002, before which he was VP Engineering.

5 Responses to “Jeff Porter Leaves @ScalaInc”

  1. Sierra Says:

    I couldn’t think of a better person to help someone “avoid those costly mistakes” of using Scala.

  2. Dio Santo Says:

    Never read a website with so many I’m, I and me’s mentioned. Will Jeff team up with the greatly lamented Mike Fabian who was also a victim of the culling at Scala sometime ago?

  3. RumorMill Says:

    Is this the only person who has left Scala this last week? Rumors are of at least two others in senior positions.

  4. Slim Pickens Says:

    No one would dispute Jeff’s industry experience, but the advertised technical expertise would seem to be 18 years of one application that is currently in global decline. So will the answer always be Scala, or never be Scala? The web site has two links to Scala, but it sounds like an involuntary departure.

  5. Chet Atkins Says:

    Jeff’s website reminds me of Joan Armatradings album from 1980: Me, Myself, I……..

Watch: The shocking moment male Jets fan was caught on camera punching female Patriots fan in the face in wild brawl after Sunday's game

  • A male New York Jets fan punched a woman in the face after Sunday's game
  • The incident was caught by a witness on his camera phone
  • Police are currently investigating the brawl

An unidentified male New York Jets fan punched a woman in the face in a post-game brawl on Sunday.

The punch-up began after the Jets bested the New England Patriots 30-27 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

A man videoing the fight says the fights started with two females in the stands.

Dragged away: The man in the number 80 green jersey is already being removed from the brawl by another man

Angry: This blonde woman seen in the red and white jersey advances towards the Jets fan

Hit: The blonde woman reels back as she is punched in the face by the large man

It then 'moved out to where I shot the video. Beer was thrown and clothing over the balcony. Security went after the guy. Didn't see what happened after that,' the witness who shot the video told Deadspin.

The video shows a large man wearing camouflage shorts and a Wayne Chrebet jersey being hauled away from the crowd by another man.

A blond woman, who according to CBS was a Patriots fan, advances towards him then reeling back as she is punched squarely in the nose.

The woman seems relatively unperturbed for someone who has just been punched by a man twice her size.

Hard hit: The force of the punch sends her staggering several feet backward

Recovering: The woman can be seen to the right of this frame rubbing her face with her arm

She nonchalantly wipes her nose with her arm as the man who punched her is pulled away.

It's unclear what started the brawl, but a new rule that helped the Jets clinch the victory may have had something to do with it.

According to Newsday, the new rule stipulates that a player may not push a teammate into the opponent's formation.

The rule was brought to bear when Patriot Chris Jones pushed his teammate Will Svitek forward in an attempt to block the kick.

After Jones was penalized, the Jets got 15 yards closer and Nick Folk made a 42-yeard game-winning kick

A Jets team spokesperson released a statement saying, 'We are aware of the situation, and we do not tolerate that behavior. Parties involved were detained, and this matter is now in the hands of the New Jersey State Police.'

This is the breathtaking view of sunset at Flint Castle.

Flint-based photographer Jack Reece took 1,000 images to create the spectacular time lapse video.

The Welsh flag can be seen flying as the sky turns a beautiful shade of orange as dusk falls over the town.

Seconds later clouds move away and nightfall descends over the 13th century castle.

It’s not the first time that Jack has captured the beauty of Flint Castle on camera.

The photographer also captured stunning views of the castle from the skies with his drone.

He told how the castle is his “favourite” place in the town.

Jack said: “Flint castle is my favourite place in the town. I love its history and its importance in the foundation of who we are the people of Flint.”

Flint Castle was one of the first castles to be built in Wales by Kind Edward I.

Work began in 1277 and it was finally completed in 1284 – it formed part of Edward I’s “Iron Ring” – a chain of fortresses designed across North Wales during his campaign to conquer the county.

The castle overlooks the beautiful waters of the Dee estuary with views extending to England.

It also famously features in Shakespeare’s Richard II – it is the setting where Richard II is captured by Henry Bolingbroke, ultimately leading to Richard’s abdication and the ascension of King Henry IV.

Now, the castle is maintained and managed by Cadw and is free to visitors.

Earlier this year, the Welsh Government announced plans to inject cash into the site in bid to attract thousands of tourists.

Plans include the creation of a visitors reception centre, new features and new access paths.

Ravens notes: Flacco misses minicamp, awaiting birth of his first child

Quarterback Joe Flaccodid not attend the second day of the mandatory minicamp because his wife, Dana, had started to go into labor with their first child Wednesday morning.

"Joe got the call this morning," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "Obviously, the labor started, and Joe was high-tailing up the road to Philly to be with Dana. We wish them nothing but the best. They don't know if it's going to be a boy or a girl, so we're all going to find out."

With Flacco at the hospital, second-year quarterback Tyrod Taylor ran the first-team offense. He had an up-and-down afternoon, tossing a few touchdown passes in 11-on-11 drills, including one to Anquan Boldin. But several passes were tipped and a few intercepted, including one that Jimmy Smith ran down the sidelines before pitching the ball to Lardarius Webb, who scored.

Roll call

Free safety Ed Reed missed another day of minicamp, and his coach still hasn't heard from him. But after appearing frustrated by Reed's absence Tuesday, Harbaugh downplayed his absence Wednesday.

"I haven't, not to make too much out of it," Harbaugh said when asked if Reed had called. "I have tremendous respect for Ed. I have used the word 'admiration.' I am not worried about Ed being ready."

The excused absences included offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie, center Matt Birk, defensive end Pernell McPhee, outside linebacker Terrell Suggs, and running back Bernard Pierce, who, in the words of Harbaugh, "tweaked" his hamstring during Tuesday's workout.

Present but not participating in full-team drills were cornerback Cary Williams, wide receivers Tandon Doss and David Reed, and offensive linemen Kelechi Osemele and Howard Barbieri.

Running back Ray Rice did not attend.

Jackson excited to be back

Rookie cornerback Asa Jackson, a fifth-round draft pick out of Cal Poly, has been back with the team after missing all three weeks of voluntary team activities as he finished up spring classes.

"It was kind of nice to be home with my family, but it was real hard for me because I wanted to be out here with my teammates, getting all the reps that I could," said Jackson, who also excelled as a return specialist in college. "Even though I had my playbook with me, it's not the same. … I'm really happy to be back. The live bullets are tough, but that's what going to help."

Jackson, who attended last month's rookie minicamp, will be in the mix at cornerback, but he will have to contribute on special teams to make the 53-man roster out of training camp.

End zone

Wide receiver Jacoby Jones landed awkwardly on his right leg and left practice early. … The Ravens waived wide receiver Rodney Bradley and linebacker Cody Glenn. … Linebacker Michael McAdoo cleared waivers, allowing him to be placed on injured reserve. … Rookie wide receivers Tommy Streeter and Deonte Thompson made impressive touchdown grabs near the end of the practice. … Rice will have his high school number, No. 5, retired by the City School District of New Rochelle (N.Y.) on Saturday. … Wide receiver Torrey Smith, former Ravens kicker Matt Stover and Baltimore native Antonio Freeman will speak at the NFL's rookie symposium later this month. … Smith will also throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Thursday's Orioles game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Camden Yards. … Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar attended Wednesday's practice.

Three-alarm fire deemed 'suspicious'

Tribune reporter

An extra-alarm fire that spread among four buildings was deemed "suspicious" by Chicago Fire Department investigators.

The fire started about 4:30 a.m. in the 8900 block of South Commercial Avenue on the Southeast Side and soon spread to neighboring buildings.

Extra alarms were soon called and crews worked for 90 minutes before the alarms were struck out.

The fire sent low-hanging smoke north through the neighborhood and was visible for miles from the expressway leading into the neighborhood.

The Chicago Police Department's Bomb & Arson unit is now investigating the fire.

One woman was taken in good condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center, a Chicago Fire Department spokesman said.

She jumped from a second-floor window after the fire started and was found in the alley by police. | Twitter: @PeterNickeas

Dobbs the Mixed Breed

Puppy Breed: Unknown

Dobrivoje (Dobbs) Ranitovia is an energetic mixed breed originating from the highlands of southwest Serbia. Rumored to be a mix between a Serbian hound, a Lab and a mysterious third breed, he has made his way from the mountainous countryside to Belgrade, the capital, and is transforming quickly into a real city pup. Though he is soon going to move to Italy, he has not forgotten his roots. He does call his relatives every now and then to brag though. Some of his hobbies are: gnawing on everything, terrorizing the resident cat, and playing cute and cuddly.

Titans rally late, win series in Long Beach

In what has already been a season full of highs, Cal State Fullerton pulled out its most thrilling win yet Saturday afternoon at Blair Field to clinch a series victory against Long Beach State. Trailing 5-1 after seven innings, the Titans (20-3) rallied for five in the eighth and two more in the ninth to stun the Dirtbags.

The Titans loaded the bases with one out in the top of the eighth before second baseman Jake Jefferies walked on a full count to bring home the first run of the inning. Pinch hitter Anthony Hutting followed with an RBI single, and two batters later, right fielder Austin Diemer was hit by a pitch to force home another run to pull the Titans to within one.

Batting with the bases loaded, a full count and the tying run on third base, shortstop Richy Pedroza tapped a weak ground ball behind the mound where Dirtbag shortstop Michael Hill attempted to make a bare-handed play. Hill could not grab the ball cleanly, and two runs scored, giving the Titans a 6-5 lead. Pedroza attempted advancing to second but was thrown out, ending the inning.

“I was looking for something more middle-out, then the pitch ended up being in,” said Pedroza. “I tried staying inside and I got jammed. Luckily I found a hole.”

The Titans added another two runs in the ninth to pad their lead. First baseman Carlos Lopez collected his third hit of the day and advanced to third base when third baseman J.D. Davis punched a perfectly-executed hit-and-run single into right field. Center fielder Michael Lorenzen brought home Lopez with a sacrifice fly, and catcher Chad Wallach drove in Davis with a line drive single off the glove of Long Beach first baseman Jeff Yamaguchi.

Long Beach (9-13) mounted a rally in the bottom of the ninth, forcing Lorenzen to earn the final two outs. After allowing an RBI ground out which brought the score to 8-6, Lorenzen got Dirtbag designated hitter Ino Patron to chase a two-strike curveball in the dirt, giving the Titans the victory. Patron finished the game with three hits and four RBIs, and was a home run away from the cycle.

CSUF starting pitcher Justin Garza (5-0) entered the game with an ERA of 0.99 but was roughed up by Long Beach hitters, allowing five runs in 4.1 innings on the mound. He was relieved by Willie Kuhl, who hurled three shutout innings and recorded four of the eight Titan strikeouts.

“Willie throws the invisible ball,” said Head Coach Rick Vanderhook. “Everybody knows what Willie’s gonna throw, and then it just kind of disappears on them right there, and nobody ever hits it.”

The comeback marked the second time in five days that the Titans won a game after falling behind by four runs. Kuhl was also dominant in that game, throwing 4.2 innings out of the bullpen and allowing only an unearned run.

“We always expect to win,” Vanderhook said. “The game’s not over until the end of the ninth inning. It got a little tight for us in the bottom and we had to go to Michael, but that’s why you play nine innings.”

“We knew if we just threw up good at bats and go all the way, we always have a chance until the game’s over,” said Pedroza. “We’re never going to give up, and it was good for our team to show that we don’t give up and that we are going to play until all nine innings are over.”

Someone tell Wilonsky my plastic bags aren't 'single use'

Someone tell the indefatigable Robert Wilonsky to clean up his language. Or, put better, to choose his words more carefully.

You may be following Dallas City Council's debate over a possible Dallas bag ban through Robert's stories. I have, and I've been meaning to tell him one thing: These carryout bags aren't necessarily "single use," as he calls them.

Every day one of them becomes the lunch bag I carry my PBJ and yogurt to work in. Every puny waste basket in my home is lined with one. I wrap stuff in them for the freezer. People who walk dogs in my neighborhood often carry one for a certain reason. Walking down my alley to the bus stop this morning, I saw one neighbor had put trash out in some. (You can do that in Richardson.)

For me they are multiple-use and a free convenience. Mi esposa likes to take reusable bags into the grocery store, and that's just fine -- until I start to run low on disposable bags. Then I don't worry so much about my carbon footprint.

If Dallas went ahead and banned disposable carryout bags, it wouldn't mess with my well-oiled routine, since I get my free plastic fix in the Caraway-free zone of Richardson.

Maybe the "single-use" word choice isn't Robert's. Maybe it's a style adopted by our newspaper. Or maybe Robert gets his talking points from the timber lobby and is secretly pro-paper. (Yes, I know. Paper's supposedly "single-use," too.)

I'd go and ask Robert, but he works a whole floor away from me.

Patriots Crossing project underscores how, at City Hall, it's business as usual

As soon as the City Council voted for "change" today by approving A.C. Gonzalez as the new city manager, the Housing Committee convened to review the $4.5 million boondoggle that is known as Patriots Crossing, across from the VA Hospital in southern Dallas.

The City Council has known for years that this project, previously known as Veterans Place, was riddled with problems and questionable financing. Nearly a year ago, we published an editorial decrying the problems at the site and questioning the transparency of the principal developer, Yigal Lelah.

At today's Housing Committee hearing, chairwoman Carolyn Davis and council member Dwayne Caraway took turns expressing outrage at the ridiculous appraisal values attributed to the properties that Lelah was acquiring for his project. (It's worth noting that, despite $4.5 million in taxpayer money committed to this project over the past five years, construction hasn't begun.)

Trashed-out, delapidated properties that were worth no more than $40,000 and probably worth closer to $9,000 were appraised at $60,000, $124,000, $189,000, and so on. Ridiculous values. And those values helped justify the payments of $1 million, $1.5 million, etc., in increments to Lelah over the past five years, until the total reached the current $4.5 million.

But today, Davis and Caraway were outraged. "Who's protecting the taxpayers' dollars? Who's negotiating on this?" Caraway asked incredulously, referring to the appraisal values.

Answer: The City Council is protecting the taxpayers' dollars, Mr. Caraway. And they're doing a lousy job of it, if you have to ask that question. To be fair, this project was in Vonciel Jones Hill's district when all the big money was approved at her recommendation. But Caraway was very much involved in that neighborhood's development -- even to the point that Hill suggested at one point that he stick to his own district.

Caraway and Davis asked: Why didn't  they know about this project and the payments being made? How did this sneak past them? Caraway even asked if this was ever brought before the City Council. Until someone else told him that the council had voted on it (with Caraway present, by the way). They didn't just vote once or twice. They voted at least five separate times on the huge amounts of money devoted to this project. They received voluminous reports about it in their briefing packets.

Did they question that Lelah made promises he could not keep? Key promises such as the design to build a pedestrian skybridge connecting his project to the VA Hospital. Apparently not.

And when they called Lelah in to answer questions today, he got downright snippy with them. When asked by a council member to start at a certain point with his slide presentation so the committee members could ask questions about a specific issue, Lelah responded that, no, he'd begin where he wanted to begin. As if he was the one in control. Davis, to her credit, made clear that this was her committee and he would abide by the wishes of the council members present.

This entire spectacle speaks volumes about the "change" that needs to come to City Hall. It starts with council members who read the newspaper every day so they can understand what's going on and what issues they are voting on. It starts with conveying an attitude to contractors and grant recipients that they are working for the taxpayers of Dallas. We don't answer to them; they answer to us.

It starts when City Council members approach all big-dollar projects with an air of skepticism, and when they scrutinize every dollar being spent before they approve those expenditures. And it starts with a city manager who warns the council when they need to pay special attention to an agenda item rather than placing it in the consent agenda and rushing to get the city's business done as fast as possible.

Look at the history of Patriots Crossing and you'll see exactly why Dallas -- the city council and its new city manager -- need to embark on a new plan of action.

Horne & Dekker Promises "Gourmet Comfort Food." Translation: Prepare to be Creamed.

Horne & Dekker, the soon-to-open North Henderson Avenue collaboration from Shawn Horne and Flynn Dekker, has released its menu of "gourmet comfort food."

In practice, that seems to call for a good bit of meat and cream: The appetizer section features sauced shellfish and sausage; homemade chips with blue cheese dip; and duck confit. Entrees -- including a "big fat rib eye" and Dr Pepper-braised pork shoulder -- are apparently served a la carte, with available sides of creamed Brussels sprouts, whipped sweet potatoes and handmade spaetzel. Peanut butter buckeyes and birthday cake round out the dessert selection.

Horne & Dekker's also picked up on The Green Room's popular "feed me, wine me" option, giving patrons a chance to surrender to "grape & grub." "Tell us what you don't like, and our culinary team will prepare four courses you're sure to like," the menu promises.

The restaurant is scheduled to open tomorrow at 2323 N. Henderson Ave.

On The Move: New program aids veterans
Jul 30, 2013 | 1445 views | 0 0 comments | 13 13 recommendations | email to a friend | print

BOUNTIFUL – A new Boots to Business program being offered by the federal Small Business Administration in Utah aims to help veterans obtain employment after military service.

Operated in conjunction with the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University, N.Y., it’s a three-phase training program developed to introduce and train transitioning service members to business ownership, a press release from the Small Business Administration said.

The first phase is a short video introducing military service members to business ownership as a lifestyle, a two-day session and introduction to business ownership textbook and an eight-week online mini-MBA.

A woman who has participated said the program has enabled her to continue in something meaningful after leaving a 30-year military career.

Boots to Business training sessions are Aug. 21-22, Oct. 16-17 and Dec. 11-12, 2013.  To RSVP, email

Alleged N25bn fraud: Court orders arrest of Gombe ex-gov, Goje

A Federal High Court, sitting in Jos, Plateau State, has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of a former Governor of Gombe State, Senator Danjuma Goje, for refusing to show up in court.

The EFCC said in a Facebook post that Goje, who is being charged with an alleged N25bn fraud, might be arrested on Wednesday (today) if he failed to show up in court.

The statement read, “A Federal High Court, sitting in Jos, Plateau State, on October 4, 2016 (Tuesday) issued a bench warrant against former Governor of Gombe State, Danjuma Goje, for refusing to show up in court. The warrant is however to take effect by 8am on October 5, 2016, if he fails to show up in court again.”

Among several charges, Goje, who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriation, is accused of illegally awarding a N1bn contract for the supply of dictionaries to secondary schools while he was governor of the state.

At the last sitting, a prosecution witness, Salisu Abaji, said the ex-governor awarded a contract for the supply of dictionaries for over N1bn to Gombe State Universal Basic Education Board without following procurement process.

He was also alleged to have paid 85 per cent of the contract sum upfront to the supplier, Real and Integrated Hospitality Company, as against the prescribed 15 per cent as contained in the UBEB guidelines when he was the governor.

The prosecution witness, who is a former secretary to UBEB, made this testimony against his former boss.

He further submitted that one Aliyu el-Naffty, former UBEB chairman, also an accused person standing trial along with Goje, awarded the contract the same day and ordered the advance payment based on the directive of the then governor.

Another prosecution witness and former storekeeper to Gombe State Government House, Mr. Mohammed Aliyu, concluded his testimony by tendering receipts of all payments made to the food contractor to the government during the eight-year administration of Goje from 2003 to 2011.

However, Abaji admitted that he played a role in the award and payment of the said amount as upfront to the contractor.

This he did under cross-examination by the defence counsel, Mr. Adeniyi

Meanwhile, the acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, said enforcement alone could not stop corruption, adding that the commission would also focus on preventive measures in the fight against corruption.

The EFCC boss said this at the unveiling of the EFCC Creative Youths Initiative against Corruption in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said, “We are the first to recognise that enforcement alone cannot win the war against corruption.  Prevention is an effective and necessary weapon that must be employed in conjunction with enforcement, and there is no group of Nigerians better equipped to wield that weapon than the youth.

“Let us bear in mind that the task to rid the nation of the corruption cankerworm cannot be left to the EFCC and other anti-corruption agencies alone.  We are all stakeholders in the war and cannot let the future generations down; it is for their future that we must sacrifice our today.  Let us work together for our dear nation; let us join hands to build for our children the future we desire.”

Magu said the EFCC would not relent in its efforts to rid the nation of corruption. He added that the commission would continue to recover stolen assets and funds.

“Let me clarify that EFCC will continue to vigorously enforce its mandate alongside engaging in preventive initiatives such as this.  Therefore, even as we appeal to the old and the young to shun corruption and other forms of fraud, expect to see more investigations, more arrests, more trials, more convictions and more recovery of stolen assets,” Magu said.

The event attracted pupils from several schools across the country.Punch

No escape as Navy arrest 25 oil thieves

The Nigerian Ñavy has arrested 25 suspects for illegal bunkering activities in the Niger Delta

The 25 suspects were arrested in different locations in Akwa Ibom, Delta and Rivers State.

The Director of Information of the Nigerian Navy, Commodore Christian Ezekobe, said in a statement on Tuesday that 23 of the suspects were arrested in three Cotonou boats in Ibeno area of  Akwa Ibom State.

He said two of the boats were carrying 55 and 48 suspected illegally refined crude oil while a third was loaded with 188 empty drums when the Navy arrested them.

Ezekobe said the suspects who were arrested by operatives of the NNS Jubilee had been handed over to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps for further action.

He stated also that a patrol team deployed by the Forward Operation Base, Escravos, arrested three suspected oil thieves and destroyed six Cotonou boats carrying suspected crude oil around Sandhills Creek in Warri South West Local Government Area.

The naval operatives were also said to have recovered two wooden boats laden with 300 metric tonnes of stolen crude oil and a pumping machine.

Ezekobe added that another patrol team from the NNS Pathfinder arrested eight suspects and destroyed speed boats laden with 100 MT of illegally refined AGO, during a raid  at Adokiakiri, around Okrika and Dutch Island at Onne, River State.

According to him “Two barges containing 500MT of suspected stolen crude oil were also destroyed by the team.”

Ezekobe stated further that the patrol team also arrested three suspects aboard MV Omete IV and a large wooden barge laden with 230 MT of illegally refined AGO around FOT One, Rivers State.

The Navy Director of Information said that another suspect was picked up by a patrol team from NNS Delta at Saba  Creek in Warri South Local Government Area.

He said a refinery site and a Cotonou boat laden with suspected stolen 83 MT of crude oil were destroyed.Punch

Secretary of the State Issues Guidelines on Connecticut Model Entity Transactions Act, Effective January 1, 2014

Publisher: Day Pitney Alert
December 30, 2013
Day Pitney Author(s) David A. Swerdloff

The Connecticut Secretary of the State has issued guidance on filings under the Model Entity Transactions Act (META), which takes effect on January 1, 2014. META will allow cross-entity mergers, consolidations and equity-interest exchanges as well as redomestication in Connecticut.

What is META?

META was adopted by the Connecticut General Assembly in 2011, to become effective in 2014. It is part of the recent efforts by the state government and the Connecticut Bar Association to create a more flexible and welcoming environment for Connecticut businesses. Cross-entity transactions such as mergers between partnerships or LLCs and corporations, which have not been permitted in Connecticut, will now be permitted. META is expected to provide an efficient cross-entity transaction process. That in turn should encourage more businesses to organize under Connecticut law and to remain in Connecticut.

META Implementation Update

Secretary of the State Denise Merrill issued guidance last week on filing procedures and fees. Seth Klaskin, director of the Commercial Recording Division, announced the new policies.

The secretary of the state will not be issuing forms at this time for META filings. However, the office encourages those engaging in META transactions to pre-clear documents prior to formal filings, to ensure that the documents meet filing requirements. Pre-clearance is offered without charge by the secretary of the state through its staff attorneys.

Because of the complexity of META transactions, only basic information as to the transactions will be available through CONCORD, the state's online filing system ( Certificates of legal existence for companies resulting from META transactions will be processed manually, for the near future, in light of the relationship of META transactions with jurisdictions other than Connecticut. This could result in potential delays in obtaining certificates for closings.

Fees for META transactions will be the sum of the fees chargeable for each component of a META filing. The secretary of the state offered the example of a conversion of a Connecticut limited liability company to a Connecticut corporation. The new conversion fee will be $60. The fee for filing the certificate of incorporation for the new corporation would continue to be $100, and the minimum franchise tax would continue to be $150. Accordingly, total filing fees for the conversion of a Connecticut LLC to a Connecticut corporation would be $310.

Filing fees for a redomestication out of Connecticut will be $100. The fees for a redomestication into Connecticut will be the same as the fees for forming a new Connecticut entity.

META is based on a model act adopted by the American Bar Association and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. The following will be permitted:

  1. Mergers, consolidations and interest exchange transactions among different forms of entities (i.e., corporations, general partnerships, limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships, associations and other forms of unincorporated for-profit entities). Many of these cross-entity transactions cannot be accomplished under current Connecticut law. Professionals have devised multistep processes to achieve companies' goals, including interim mergers with entities formed in other jurisdictions, including Delaware, but these are cumbersome, costly and time-consuming. Frequently, after such transactions, the companies remain organized under the laws of the other jurisdiction rather than Connecticut.

  2. Conversion from one form of entity to another. META will permit the conversion of a corporation to a limited liability company and vice versa. A corporation may convert to an LLC simply by filing a certificate with the secretary of the state and paying a filing fee.

  3. Redomestication of entities to or from Connecticut. META will permit a corporation organized in another state to "redomesticate" as a Connecticut corporation merely by filing a certificate with the Connecticut secretary of the state and making an appropriate filing in the other state. Connecticut law does not currently allow redomestication.
Comprehensive legislation governing these areas has become particularly important as new forms of entities like limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships and limited liability limited partnerships have become more prevalent across the last three decades. While META will not impact the tax consequences of a transaction, it will enhance the efficiency and flexibility of dissimilar entity transactions under Connecticut law.

Day Pitney Involvement

Mark Sklarz, a partner in the Day Pitney LLP New Haven office and vice chair of the Connecticut Bar Association Business Law Section, served as the chair of a Joint Committee of the Business Law and Tax Sections of the Connecticut Bar Association, which drafted the legislation. He provided testimony to advance the act through the legislative process. Mark will chair a Connecticut Bar Association Legal Education Seminar in March to discuss META.

Connecticut businesses will benefit from the clarity, efficiency and comprehensive structure of META. The current "patchwork authority" of the Connecticut statutes, which permit some cross-entity mergers but not others, and which allow some entity conversions but not others, has been confusing for business owners. META has been specifically designed to remedy these issues and will provide Connecticut with a best-practices statute to assist businesses of all sizes to compete in a favorable environment.

Sling 922 DVD shutting itself off & fan running full speed? ...

Discussion in 'ViP922 DVR Support Forum' started by speedmaster, Apr 9, 2013.

    We're on our second 922 DVR in about 18 months (first one just died, hard disk I think) and generally love it. But over the last week it's been acting odd.

    Several times I've come into the room to see the DVR apaprently off, no lights whatsoever on the front panel lit up, and a _very_ loud whirring noise. It sounds like the fan is cranked-up all the way. No pressing of buttons on the DVR itself or the remote changes this. The only thing I can do is unplug it for a minute or two.

    After that it's usually good for maybe 1/2 a day. Then it happens again. I wouldn't think it's overheating, there's plenty of airflow space around it on all sides, and it's in a very roomy cabinet off the floor with no doors.

    Any ideas? My guess is it's toast? If it is dead, any chance Dish might upgrade me to a Hopper? We've been customers for about 15 years.

    Thanks very much in advance,

    It is either overheating or the temperature sensor thinks it is overheating. Does any part of it feel hot when this occurs?

    It could be overheating due to internal problems if the ventilation is good. Either way, I would either see if a DiRT member will respond or call and ask for a new receiver (and why not ask about the Hopper?).

    You are lucky, I am on my 4th one in two months and just today it is beginning to act up. My second one was doing what you describe your's as doing. I am sure they will upgrade you for a price and a 2-year commitment.

    Hi Chris, with the sound you’re hearing it could be overheating. Is the DVR getting direct sunlight? Are there a lot of devices like a computer tower next to the 922?

Indiana Jones

The first film, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) is set in 1936. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is hired by government agents to locate the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis. The Nazis have teams searching for religious artifacts, including the Ark, which is rumored to make an army that carries the Ark before it invincible.[3] The Nazis are being helped by Indiana’s nemesis René Belloq (Paul Freeman). With the help of his old flame Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) and Sallah (John Rhys-Davies), Indiana manages to recover the Ark in Egypt. The Nazis steal the Ark and capture Indiana and Marion. Belloq and the Nazis perform a ceremony to open the Ark, but when they do so, they are all killed gruesomely by the Ark’s wrath. Indiana and Marion, who survived by closing their eyes, manage to get the Ark to the United States, where it is stored in a secret government warehouse.

Been through three dealerships of lies, attempting to get a truck. My wife saw the mailer, I checked the website where they promised transparency, and they live up to every word.quick response to my email,Mario kept his word to find a deal, and Lisa did not stop until she got the deal done, even under the price she promised. I will forever be in debt to them, they saved my job and my business. No secrets, no false promises and I got more truck than I was looking for at a beautiful price. Great staff at the signing, everything was in order I just had to sign and drive. Lisa and Mario are the best!

GTA V's Beach Bum DLC Pack Is Out Now, Has Dune Buggy Racing & A Broken Bottle (Wow!)

GTA V's Beach Bum DLC Pack Is Out Now, Has Dune Buggy Racing & A Broken Bottle (Wow!)

Wake Us Up When The Heists Arrive

Grand Theft Auto V has received its first downloadable content  today, in the form of the Beach Bum pack, which includes 30 new jobs, new vehicles and weaponry for both story mode and GTA Online.

What, not interested? Sorry, let me rephrase that. GTA V has received its first downloadable content  today, in the form of the free Beach Bum pack. That's better.

Still, we're going to need those heists soon if Rockstar's online playground can retain its player base, what with those next-gen consoles scant days from release.

The new content ways in at 64MB, offering 30 new jobs as its headline act. These include a range of races, survival arenas and deathmatches, such as the following sample platter below.

  • “Grass Route II” (Race): In this sequel to the original popular Grass Route Race, go off-road in an epic heat starting on the North bank of the Zancudo River through the treacherous wetlands with a triumphant finish on the beach in North Chumash.
  • “Survival on Del Perro Pier” (Survival): Skip the ferris wheel for a deadlier kind of thrill ride as you take on waves of relentless enemies at this beachfront attraction.
  • “View of Vespucci” (Parachuting): This leap sends you from 2,980 feet, down towards Vespucci Beach, weaving through palm trees to land on the basketball courts of the rec center. If you’ve got skills, it’s possible to freefall through the first few checkpoints before even opening your chute.
  • “Paleto Beach” (Team Deathmatch): The locals complain that not a lot happens in this sleepy town, so do them a favor and wake ‘em up with a barrage of gunfire exchanged between you and a rival team. This Team Deathmatch takes place right on the romantic shoreline for 4-8 players.
  • “Sundae Driving” (Bike Race): Sure to be a new fan-favorite motorbike race, menace Vespucci Beach on your two-wheel rocket, taking breakneck corners as you try and best the competition.

Frankly, we're excited about the dune buggy racing above all else. Speaking of which, new vehicles include the BF Bifta dune buggy, "rugged" Canis Kalahari off-road truck and Bravado Paradise beach camper van. For all your taking to the sea needs, the imaginatively-named Speeder speedboat (speedy) is also now available. You can access them in story mode by visiting your garage, and GTA Online at no additional cost by browsing over to the southernsanandreassuperautos.com and docktease.com in-game website.

Also available in both Story Mode and Online (and at no additional in-game cost) are the new SNS Pistol & Broken Bottle weapons. A broken bottle. Really. A broken bottle. Really? Really?! Ambassador, with this sharpened refuse you are really spoiling us.

This update also features a wide array of new apparel, which is frankly too boring to give any column space to.

We love the idea of GTA Online, but Rockstar were forced to spend their valuable time fixing bugs rather than adding content during the all-too-fleeting honeymoon period... meaning that many players have already left with no intention of returning. With next-gen consoles approaching, will you spend any more time in Los Santos over the next month or so? Can the approaching content creator and heists drag you back in? Or has the cool half a million GTA$ given you all the excuse you need to get involved?

I have downloaded the beach bum pack for the PS3 and I can't access any of the new vehicles, clothing styles, haircuts, or tattoos in story mode. The only thing I have got so far is the bottle and sns pistol in story mode. GTA online I have everything. Can someone help me out please?

Planetary Annihilation £9.19 on Bundle Stars, save £13 (or don't)

Planetary Annihilation £9.19 on Bundle Stars, save £13 (or don't)

Planetary Annihilation | Bundle Stars | £9.19 (save RRP: £22.99)
Planetary Annihilation Hands-On Preview

I've said it before and I'll say it again: there's a difference between a great deal and a great game. This is a great deal, netting you a Steam code for Planetary Annihilation at a major saving.

The game, though, feels unfinished despite leaving early access. Planetary Annihilation was very promising in preview and is fantastic fun when you're wielding huge robot armies and smashing moons into each other, but the lack of tutorials, multiple factions and a more digestible UI can make this insane RTS an overwhelming and frustrating experience for newcomers. I doubt I'll have time for a full review,  but I personally wish that Uber had spent more time rounding what feels like a fun yet incomplete product into a full package.

It's a real shame that the game hasn't progressed. I've had my eye on this for a while as it looked like it could bring some real originality to the RTS genre.

JonLester  Oct. 17, 2014 at 14:02

It's a tough one. On the one hand, PA is still insanely good fun when you're amassing ridiculous armies and smashing moons into each other, but so much feels half-baked. Navies are pointless, moving troops between planets is annoyingly fiddly and you can't even save singleplay progress. AFAIK there's still only a single faction too!

At least a new update lets us play it offline, but still, I feel that Uber should have committed more resources and updates before crowdfunding their next title.

Crazy Jamie  Oct. 17, 2014 at 16:15

It sounds like the idea got away from them a little bit, or at least that they underestimated the time and resources that were needed to balance out and round off such an ambitious game. It's a shame that they're not spending more time on it as you say.

I noticed their new venture on Kickstarter, which has a very impressive trailer and is again very interesting. It doesn't look like it's going to hit its target, though. I wonder if the lack of progress with Planetary Annihilation as anything to do with that. Once bitten and all that.

 Operation "Spearhead" A Success - NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

Department of Environmental Conservation

D E C banner

For Release: Monday, May 21, 2012

Operation "Spearhead" A Success

A DEC enforcement initiative in the Hudson River watershed and Adirondacks has resulted in the ticketing or formal warning of 117 people for a variety of fishing-related infractions, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced today.

Between March 16 and April 30 DEC Environmental Conservation Officers (ECO) wrote 105 tickets and issued 26 written warnings in Greene, Columbia, Rensselaer, Albany, Saratoga, Warren, Washington, Warren, Hamilton, Franklin, Essex and Clinton counties.

"A greater presence during this vulnerable time for walleyes protects this valuable fishery," said ECO Major Tim Duffy. "Walleye poachers will often spear the fish as they pool up in shallow water to lay their eggs. This initiative sends a strong message to the poachers that their illegal actions will not be tolerated."

This initiative was designed to coincide with the spawning run for walleye, an important recreational fishery in the state. In addition to walleye, the Hudson River also provides important striped bass, shad, sturgeon, smelt and juvenile eel fisheries. In the Adirondacks, ECOs focused their efforts on waterways such as tributaries of Saratoga Lake, Great Sacandaga Lake, Lake George and the Saranac River.

In addition to tickets issued for illegal walleye fishing, ECOs ticketed people for taking too many striped bass, fishing in closed areas, taking smelt illegally, possessing loaded firearms in vehicles, taking undersized fish and the reckless operation of vessels.

Most of these illegal activities occur in the evening requiring the officers to work at all hours in order to catch the poachers.

Jellyfish Journalism Fail

On May 9th of 2012, I wrote about a video going viral of an odd creature in the deep sea.  The running hypothesis among online communities is was it was a whale placenta.  It was not, more interesting it was the rather enimagic Deepstaria reticulum, one of the most spectacular jellyfish at the time.  At the of the video, I confirmed with jellyfish expert and scientist, Steve Haddock, that this was indeed Deepstaria.  This was mere days after the video went viral on the internet.

Over the last few weeks Deepstaria reticulum is again in the news.  Unfortunately, it has surfaced amongst some of the poorest journalism I’ve seen.

The first article that emerged was at the Daily Mail stating that

The mysterious sea creature was spotted 5,000ft deep in the Gulf of Mexico two years ago, but it has only just been identified by marine biologists.

Obviously this is wrong because my post, which the Daily Mail links to, is from two years ago where the specimen has been correctly identified. But the richest part is that the Daily Mail reported on this originally two years ago.  So the current Daily Mail post disagrees with the older Daily Mail post.

Of course once misinformation is put up on the internet it spreads like a wild fire.

Aol News

For two years a mysterious sea creature has been captured on video as it swims 5,000 feet below the surface, but scientists have been in the dark as to what exactly it is. Now, the mystery is solved: it is a placental jellyfish — after many arguments and speculations. NBC reports, “They believe it is a rarely seen jellyfish plodding its way, not at great speed, through the Gulf of Mexico. The video was actually shot by an underwater gulf rig camera.”

The fish’s species was, at first, hard to identify because it appeared to have no eyes, mouth, tentacles, front or back.

NPR reports scientists first believed it might be a whale placenta. They ruled that out because it would have been a large target for predators at that depth and likely would have been eaten sooner. Then Deep Sea News Chief Editor Craig McClain noticed the creature had a sex organ similar to a giant jellyfish called Deepstaria enigmatica.

Case solved? Not quite.

According to the Daily Mail, it was a small detail — the hexagonal pattern on the creature’s skin — that gave strong evidence that this jellyfish is actually a Deepstaria reticulum, or a placental jellyfish.

The species is native to Antarctic waters, which are significantly colder than the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists don’t know how or why this particular jellyfish ended up in the Gulf.

So there are so many things wrong here I don’t know where to start.  So it’s not a fish.  Scientists never believed it was a whale placenta. Just random people online.   I noted in the original post, 2 years ago, the hexagonal pattern and the species identification.  The last two sentences are just all kinds of wrong.  There is literally nothing correct in those statements. Not a single thing.

SFGate and the Houston Chronicle actually decided to run with the title

After 2 years, scientists confirm mysterious Gulf of Mexico blob is rare jellyfish

So reading into the article

After two years of pondering, marine biologists in the past few days have confirmed that a mysterious pink blob seen on underwater video from the Gulf of Mexico is a big, rare jellyfish known as Deepstaria reticulum, according to The Daily Mail.

My other favorite part of all this is the statement below that keeps circulating as well.

BBC News reports that the Deepstaria Enigmatica is “thought to be one of the largest invertebrate predators in the deep sea ecosystem.”

Wait what?  That’s not right.  The BBC article actually doesn’t discuss Deepstaria what ever but a wholly different jellyfish Stygiomedusa gigantea.

So nothing in these articles is correct, except the identification of Deepstaria reticulum. Interestingly, not one of these “journalists” have reached out to me for comment.  This is quite frankly lazy and sloppy journalism.  One that will continue to perpetuate.

  1. The slang for journalist was hack. We no longer hack, but cut and paste. The Daily Mail is an appalling rag, and identified as such by those of us bounded by the North and Irish Seas. We were “invaded” by giant jellyfish earlier this year, apparently. I’m surprised they didn’t manage to work Miley Cirus or immigrants into the story.

  2. Reliable sources tell me it’s actually a wereshark placenta, but scientists are keeping it quiet to avoid a panic.

  3. Where on Earth did the common name “placental jellyfish” come from, and can we please burn it in a fire?

  4. I just keep linking to Steve Haddock’s MBARI video response on YouTube. Any jellyfish scientist worth a little knew what it was straight away. It is quite annoying that it keeps getting touted as unidentified.

Hollywood actor Daniel Radcliffe to Return As Harry Potter

Hollywood actor Daniel Radcliffe to Return As Harry Potter : We were blessed enough to be grown up with the series of Harry Potter movies. And undoubtedly Harry Porter has been an integral part of our childhood and especially for all the kids who were grown up in the early 2000s. Although the three characters of Harry Porter Franchise Harry, Ron, and Hermione were not only friends in reel life but after the movie, they even get connected with us and we started finding them as our friends.

The journey began with 2001 released movie Harry Porter and the Philosopher’s Stone and as time passed we were also gifted with back to back installment of Harry Porter series. And it continues for next 11 years when Harry Porter in the movie killed his long-time antagonist Voldemort.

Although, with the last installment in  2011 Harry Porter series was closed, but it is still fresh in the mind of not only us, but also in the mind of “Daniel Radcliffe.”

In a recent Interview Daniel who portrayed the role of Harry Porter in all the installment of Harry Porter series, told the media wing that he won’t mind returning as the Harry Porter in the big screen if the script will be good enough for him.

He also added that ” I am not saying no, but the script should be good and it must have the impact that will take the fans of Harry porter in all over the Globe.”

Daniel also told the reporters that ” he believes that Harry Porter’s fan following is surprisingly equal as it was a few years ago and with the kind of business “Harry Porter and the Cursed Child is doing in London.”

When one of the reporters asked him that When he will see the drama of the “Harry Porter And the Cursed Child” ? Daniel told reporters that if he will go to see the drama, then there is a possibility that Harry Porter fans will distract from the show and I don’t want to do this.”

Well, Daniel is the true gentleman and we will hope as a fan that someday we will go alive that moment and would love to go back in the Howard with all magical stuff.
