After receiving numerous "downloading" errors (0x80040508), I was finally able to install Google's new browser, Chrome.
Suppressing the temptation to try out all of the new features, I jumped right in and started surfing the web. I'm actually using Chrome to type up this post and so far, everything seems to be working fine.
John Resig, Mozilla employee and jQuery creator, recently posted his thoughts on the Task Manager...it certainly seems like a very useful tool.
For an initial release, Google Chrome seems to have a lot of promise. It will be interesting to see how this affects the current browser landscape.
what did you do because of this 0x80040508 error?
I also twice received the Goggle Chrome installer error "Download error. The downloaded file failed verification. Error code = 0x80040508". Clicking on the "Help me fix this." link that was provided in the error message did nothing.
I wish Goggle would provide a link to where you can download the complete install file yourself. I dislike the wrapper install programs that require you to first download an installer-loader program that is actually a shell for the main setup/install program. They don't offer much control on my end for restarting a download, or retrying a failed install.
ZoneAlarm popped up three or four times before I received the above error message, but I don't believe the ZoneAlarm firewall was the problem for the verification error.
This is the first official beta release for Chrome, and that includes the installer. I was just a little disappointed that a released Goggle application didn't fly from the first click. I'm still enjoying my recent transition to Firefox 3.01 from IE7, but I'm curious about Chrome's multiprocessing browser approach. Have you seen a noticeable difference in how Chrome handles multiple concurrent tasks? My biggest problem with Firefox is that its slow to load (I have a few add-ons that increase the initialization delay). How is Chrome's load time and memory requirement?
Thanks for Chrome blog. I hope this becomes a place where early Chrome converts can share information.
The third times the charm. I just tried again to install Chrome an all went well. No more download error. It imported my Firefox bookmarks without any problems. I can now partially answer some of my own questions. It does load much faster than FF3, an even a tad faster than IE7. It does appear to isolate the impact that multiple open tabs have on each other. A slow loading website or a file download doesn't seem to affect the other tab activities as much as it does with FF3.
I'm used to a bunch of buttons an "extras" on my browser's menu bar. For someone who enjoys tweaking a browsers functions, appearance an adding extra functions, the spartan layout and minimal configuration options of Chrome leave something to be desired. Because it is an open source browser I expect add-ons to eventually become available.
As a first impression, even though I haven't used it long, I think Chrome will have a big impact on the browser /cloud application launcher future. With Google behind it, you know Chrome will have the development and support to succeed. We've been hearing for several years that an increasing number of applications will not be local, but reside somewhere out-there on the net (apps in the cloud). The hurdle was in how various local operating systems could handle these applications. The solution was an open source, stable, shell/browser robust enough to multi-process several applications at once. I expect it won't be long before Google releases Chrome for Mac and UNIX, an it also won't be long before more cloud applications become available. If Microsoft doesn't respond with an equally open (ha) robust, multi-processing browser (IE9?), they could finally get knocked off as the king of the browser hill.
- "Help me fix this" link: at first nothing happened when I clicked this link. Eventually it went to a Google page, but didn't provide any useful information.
- Download complete install: I agree...I looked all over for the full installation. My guess is that the original error message was caused by too many people trying to connect.
- Chrome Speed: it is very fast. It uses a lot of processes, 1 for the browser, 1 for each plugin and 1 for each tab. However, it appears that it still uses less total memory than FF or IE. I have had some problems with the CPU usage, but I'm sure most of those issues will be sorted out.
- Interface: I'm actually very pleased with the lack of browser "stuff" - Google chose to focus on the content...what we are browsing.
- Addons/extensions: Chrome doesn't currently support them. I'm a bit surprised that it wasn't part of their initial release, but they claim to be working on it.
- Chrome's impact: I agree that the release of Chrome will have a profound impact on the web...it already has. If nothing else, the competition helps push other vendors to strive for improvement and raises the quality for everyone.
Other thoughts: I love the Find feature. It tells you how many results are in the page and even shows you where they are in the scrollbar!
let me ask one thing, Isn't there error console in google chrome??
Hey! Here is the link for the full installer, sans install wrapper. Enjoy!
@Psyclic - thanks for the link!
@Ryan - it looks to me like the Resources tab is pretty raw. It is not nearly as helpful as Firebug's Net tab. And you're right about the sizes, the only thing I see is 0.00MB when I click on the items in the list. Perhaps if I had an image that was 100k or larger, it would show up?
@Andrew - I really like the simplicity of Chrome, but it is a long way from being my primary browser. There are quite a few bugs (mostly minor) and the developer tools are still a far cry away from the usefulness of Firebug and the Web Developer Firefox Add-ons.
I've been using Chrome for fast browsing and when I'm not developing some blog/websites, Firefox will always be the best developer browser because of it various web developing add-ons like firebug, web developer and user agent.
@Cesar - same here...I use Chrome for Gmail and some browsing, FF3 for the majority of my browsing and FF2 for web development.

Q: Differences between VSCode and SublimeText 4 HTML+JavaScript syntax highlighting Can someone explain to me why Sublime Text 4 highlights this HTML differently than VSCode?
<html>

        </script>

        <script>

Both have HTML as the selected syntax.  I'm also using the same textmate color-scheme in both.
Sublime Text 4

VSCode

UPDATE
I am working with a server-side JavaScript platform where breaking the blocks up like this is a thing like PHP.
UPDATE 2
I am working on a syntax highlighter, but not for server-side JS.

A: The real question is, why should they properly highlight it in the first place? You can't split up <script> blocks. You can do something similar in PHP, though, but your question is about JavaScript.
You can create a simple test.html document with your HTML and open it in a browser. Opening developer tools (e.g. in Chrome) will show errors about "unfinished scripts" and such.

Pamunkey nation looks to future after gaining federal recognition
After a 30-year struggle, the Pamunkey Indian tribe is first in Virginia to earn federal status
By Jackson McMillan, Tidewater Review
Acting Chief of the Pamunkey Indian tribe Robert Gray said the tribe has its work cut out navigating the new opportunities and programs the Pamunkey people are eligible for now that they are among the more than 500 tribal nations recognized by the federal government.
"The real challenge now is figuring out what our options are," Gray said during a phone interview. "There are so many agencies and programs it's like a smorgasbord of programs."
On July 2, the federal government extended recognition to the Pamunkey Indian tribe, making it the first Virginia tribe to achieve such recognition.
In the wake of the announcement, former Pamunkey Indian Chief Kevin Brown, who has helped the tribe in its 30-year quest for such recognition, tendered his resignation as chief.
"It's been a long hard road in getting the federal recognition, and I'm passing the torch to another member," he said, adding that it is time for someone else to take up their own cause to advance the tribe.
Under Pamunkey law, Assistant Chief Gray will take over as acting chief and perform all of the duties of the chief. Gray said the Pamunkey will elect a new chief Aug. 6.
The tribe, which has 203 members, has proven that it meets seven mandatory criteria for federal recognition and will join the 566 other federally recognized tribal nations across the country. The process included collecting historical governing documents, tracing the lineage of tribe members and proving the tribe has lived as a distinct community with its own political influence since 1900, according to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
"This work reflects the most solemn responsibilities of the United States," said Kevin Washburn, assistant secretary of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in announcing the decision. "Our professional historians, anthropologists, and genealogists spent thousands of hours of staff time researching and applying our rigorous acknowledgment criteria to these petitions."
The Pamunkey first applied for full federal recognition in 1982, Brown said.
Washburn's decision was a defeat for numerous groups that had opposed the petition, including the Congressional Black Caucus as well as gaming and anti-gaming interests worried about the potential for the tribe to construct a gambling complex on the 1,200-acre Pamunkey reservation.
In January, several members of the Congressional Black Caucus voiced their opposition to federal recognition of the Pamunkey, asking Department of the Interior Secretary Sally Jewell and then-U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to postpone the decision until the Justice Department investigated claims of discriminatory practices by the tribe.
The point of contention was in regard to an old tribal law that stated, "No member of the Pamunkey Indian Tribe shall intermarry with any (sic) Nation except White or Indian under penalty of forfeiting their rights in Town."
Brown said the tribe repealed the law in 2012. "We hadn't enforced that law in generations and did away with it before it got out." According to Brown, the common rationale for the ban is that it was rooted in Virginia's culture of racism, which, at the time, used racial intermixture as a means to deprive Native Americans of their ancestral lands.
The Association of American Convenience Stores also expressed fears that federally acknowledged tribes will result in competition for stores already located near reservations if a tribe decided to open a similar business on tribal lands, the reason being tribes would not have to charge taxes and a store could undercut prices.
Support for a historic tribe
But many historians and ethnologists have long argued that the descendants of the most powerful tribe to confront Capt. John Smith and the first English settlers at Jamestown deserved official federal status.
"The Pamunkey retained their original lands — their ancestral lands from the time before the English arrived — and they were the only group to do so. They've maintained their treaties with the government — treaties that go all the way back to the English and the 1600s," said Buck Woodard, head of the American Indian Initiative at Colonial Williamsburg.
"If you want to know how important the Pamunkey and its leaders were — just look at how the English referred to them: They called them 'The House of Pamunkey.' And they're still a special group today."
Retired Virginia Department of Historic Resources archaeologist E. Randolph Turner II makes many of the same arguments, citing the tribe's links to such historical figures as Powhatan, Opechancanough and Pocahontas.
Brown said Gov. Terry McAuliffe called him July 2 to personally congratulate the Pamunkey on their historic achievement.
In a statement issued by the Office of the Governor, McAuliffe lauded the decision.
"I want to congratulate members of the Pamunkey tribe on their tireless efforts to ensure that they receive the federal recognition that they deserve." The governor's statement also said he has supported federal recognition of the Pamunkey and recently sent a letter to the Bureau of Indian Affair backing their efforts.
McAuliffe said he hopes the Pamunkey tribe's achievement will help enact the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act, a bipartisan bill that would grant federal recognition to the Chickahominy, Eastern Chickahominy, Upper Mattaponi — also located in King William County — Rappahannock, Monacan, and Nansemond Indian tribes. These tribes have been recognized by the state, but not the federal government.
In a joint statement, Virginia's U.S. Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine hailed the announcement by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. They are also cooperating on the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act.
"I congratulate the Pamunkey Indian Tribe on finally receiving this long-overdue federal recognition," Warner said. "This historic milestone also reminds us of the work that remains before us to correct the injustices committed against Virginia Indian tribes. Senator Kaine and I will keep urging our colleagues in the Senate to pass our legislation to ensure that the Chickahominy Indian Tribe, the Chickahominy Indian Tribe-Eastern Division, the Upper Mattaponi Tribe, the Rappahannock Tribe, the Monacan Indian Nation, and the Nansemond Indian Tribe also get the federal recognition that they deserve."
Members of the King William County Board of Supervisors also commended the Pamunkey on their recognition.
"I think it's a great victory for the tribe, which made the first contact with British settlers 400 years ago, to finally have federal recognition," said District 2 Supervisor Travis Moskalski.
Full federal recognition now allows Pamunkey tribal members to apply for a variety of programs, such as health and housing services, as well as educational and higher-learning opportunities.
Brown said there is a 90-day waiting period before tribal members can begin benefiting from such programs, and it may be years before the Pamunkey are able to construct buildings they're provided funding for, such as a health clinic. However, Brown said the Pamunkey are eligible to use facilities and services at the reservations of other federally recognized tribes.
Brown also quelled suspicions by many that the Pamunkey were planning to build a casino, which is permitted under full recognition.
"Look around," Brown said gesturing to the line of trees and rows of crops that make up a sizable portion of land on the reservation. "There's no place for a casino here." Brown also said the Pamunkey hired a consultant to examine whether or not the reservation's thoroughfares could handle the traffic a casino would undoubtedly bring. It was determined the investment from reconstructing roads and building a casino would not be feasible.
Gray said as much, saying the Pamunkey lack the infrastructure for a casino.
"We want to modernize, yes, but we're country people and we like it that way," Gray said. "For the long term we're looking for options that benefit the tribe and allow us to be an independent sovereign nation. There's a multitude of paths we can take but a casino is not one of them."
"More than anything being recognized is historic vindication," Brown said.
"Virginia tried to write us out, and this decision vindicates not only the Pamunkey, but every tribe that made up the Powhatan Confederacy. It gives our people legitimacy and it will benefit them down the road."
When asked about the relevance of the decision coinciding with Independence Day, Brown chuckled.
"I hadn't thought about that," he said. "I guess maybe there's a little bit of poetic justice there."

The great white shark swims in a cesspool of negative stigma.
This is due mainly to its enormous size and many rows of razor-sharp teeth, not to mention the fact that the human beast has a tendency to fear anything that may pose even the smallest threat to its Earthly dominance. Sharks do kill – around 10 humans per year – but when they do it is usually a case of mistaken identity, while humans are known to kill around 20 to 30 million sharks annually. Given the facts, it is clear to see who the true monsters are.
In 1975, Steven Spielberg would use his technical mastery to play on our inherent and largely misguided fears, orchestrating the tempo of our pulse rates the way John Williams did his wryly menacing score. It was those two facets, more than anything else, that served to bolster the shark's misrepresentation. Jaws was inspired by the true-life Jersey Shore attacks of 1916, and although Spielberg would bend the facts about sharks to his commercial whims, with 1987's Jaws: The Revenge, the brass at Universal Pictures would disfigure them beyond all reason.
Mr Spielberg gets the most important call of his life just a moment too late.
It is one thing to portray a shark as a vicious killer beset on a singular rampage. Every species is capable of betraying the laws of its nature, and sometimes hunger can get the better of anyone. But to suggest that an ancestor of the original shark could stalk the relatives of its prey more than a decade later is bordering on the heretical, and it becomes rather difficult to willingly suspend one's disbelief. It is perhaps an indictment of the human race as a whole that shark deaths doubled in the year ending 1987― just kidding, but if you're the kind of person who would allow themselves to believe in Jaws: The Revenge, you're the kind who would probably believe anything.
Following his father's death from an off-screen heart attack – which wife Helen (Garry) attributes to his fear of sharks (please!) – youngest son, Sean Brody, has taken the mantle of Deputy of the infamous Amity Island, and spends much of his uneventful existence investigating cases of cow-tipping. That is until he is called out to dislodge an old dock pile drifting in the channel, only to be savaged and killed by a waiting Jaws in a furtive attack 007 would have been proud of.
Van Peebles would offer hugs to distressed cast members.
It only stands to reason then that the original shark's buddy has been planning the attack for years, patiently musing the finer details with a sharp-toothed grin of ice-cold vengeance. That's what Brody matriarch Helen believes as she tosses and turns during shark-related nightmares, and when eldest son Mike (Guest) arrives to take her to the Bahamas, she badgers him to quit his job as a marine biologist, a career path she surely could have dissuaded him from pursuing in the first place.
Incredibly, not only is Helen right about the fact that the shark's attack on her dead son was premeditated, crazy delusions about her family being the target of this unscrupulous mastermind turn out to be anything but. Not content with merely running the Brody family out of town, Jaws follows his victims across the Atlantic and patiently awaits his opportunity, appearing with the contrivance of a Days of Our Lives character at any given moment. This is a quite remarkable feat for a creature who hunts from the surface down. I mean, sharks are an astonishing triumph of nature, able to sense blood from up to 5km away, with a field of vision of about 15 metres, but to suggest one could tail air-bound prey for 1000 miles is beyond the boundaries of plausibility by approximately the same distance.
Perhaps this lunacy might have been forgiven if the movie was any good. I mean, it is technically proficient, with the kind of budget and location that lends it a big movie feel, but it is so painfully pedestrian. If we're not following our wimpish male lead on laborious excursions we're staring at blank, unfettered landscapes or listening to the hackneyed patois of plastic Rasta Jake (Van Peebles). Even the legendary Michael Caine is unable to rescue this one, his oft-endearing chatter stretching interminably without ever taking the plot anywhere. Never have I lusted for a little bit of tired exposition, if only to hold my attention.
Even with the mastery of Spielberg as a blueprint, director Sargent seems incapable of building even a modicum of tension as the shark pursues its targets at every turn. Done well, a little tension can distract a viewer from any old garbage, but the only jump the movie inspires features some kind of snapping eel, and when you find yourself scared more of an arm-sized worm than an exaggerated Great White, you know there is something fundamentally wrong. Quizzed on his participation in the movie, Caine would reply, "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific." A cute response, but one tinged with a pang of displeasure.
So, how much are they paying you for this one, darling?
So what is it about Jaws: The Revenge that has burdened it with such a bad reputation? Sargent is a more than competent director, which leads to me believe that the main problem here ― other than the improbable plotting ― are the weaknesses in characterisation. Every character deserves to die in this movie: a marine biologist who plays to the sharks strengths; a grieving mother who allows her five-year-old grandchild to ride a banana boat a week after losing her youngest son; a womanising gambler who purposely crash lands a plane into the ocean, putting himself and his two passengers at the mercy of a murderous shark. I mean, come on!
Of course, once you lose patience with the characters, you lose sympathy for them, and once you lose sympathy you stop caring. As a result tension is quite impossible, and you find yourself rooting for the big rubber dud as the movie draws to an unambitious end that really can't come quick enough.
It comes as no surprise that Jaws: The Revenge was enough to bury the franchise for good.
Drawing his prey with a carefully positioned decoy, head of Mensa International's Underwater Division, Jaws, rips off Brody Jr's arm before turning him into a deluge of foaming crimson.
Totally unaware of a sharks attraction to erratic movements, marine biologist Michael frantically flees the beast in a fit of flapping, and as a result almost subjects his five-year-old daughter to her second family death of the week.
After a senseless Helen commandeers a boat and goes in search of the killer shark, love interest, Hoagie (Caine), swoops upon the scene in his plane and quickly radios for help.
I'm sure he'll have no problems there!
For a movie about the 'King of the Seas' Jaws: The Revenge is a lame duck. With a total absence of terror, you find that your yawns grow fiercer than the rubber-toothed imbecile, a supposed predator who fails to kill a cast of characters who give him every opportunity. But even with a plot as laughable as this one, the movie proves to be agonisingly dull, with no redeeming qualities accidental or otherwise. What you end up with, horror lovers, is a decidedly toothless affair.

Q: What is the difference between numpy.where and numpy.argwhere for boolean inputs? I am confused with the numpy.where and numpy.argwhere. For example,
 aa = (np.arange(10) + 5).reshape(2, -1)

If I run
 res = np.where(((aa == 7) | (aa == 8)))

Then
 >>> res
 (array([0, 0]), array([2, 3]))

If I run
 res2 = np.argwhere(((aa == 7) | (aa == 8)))

I get
 >>> res2
  array([[0, 2],
         [0, 3]])

Both numpy.where and numpy.argwhere give the coordinates of the nonzero elements in the boolean array. So if the inputs are boolean arrays, the two functions are basically doing the same thing. Is it correct?

A: If you look at the docs for np.where:

When only condition is provided, this function is a shorthand for np.asarray(condition).nonzero()

and nonzero returns a tuple of lists of indices for each dimension where the original array is non-zero (or false). np.argwhere on the other hand, returns a list of indices, that you can use to index into your original array. So in essence they are doing similar things, but to get the same output as np.argwhere from np.where you'd need to do:
np.vstack(np.where(((aa == 7) | (aa == 8)))).T
and the other way around:
a = np.argwhere(((aa == 7) | (aa == 8)))
tuple(a[:, i] for i in range(a.shape[1]))

# Moments Sketch Study

The goal of this article is to compare the accuracy performance of the Moments Sketch to an exact, brute-force computation using actual data extracted from one of our back-end servers.

Please get familiar with the [Definitions]({{site.docs_dir}}/Quantiles/Definitions.html) for quantiles.

Compare this study with the DataSketches [Quantiles StreamA Study](https://datasketches.apache.org/docs/Quantiles/QuantilesStreamAStudy.html) with the same input data.

## Versions

* Moments Sketch Solver version 0.1.1

## The Paper

The implementation of this Moments Sketch was based on the July 13, 2018
[paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.01969)
by Edward Gan, Jialin Ding, Kai Sheng Tai, Vatsal Sharan, Peter Bailis of Stanford InfoLab. However, it should be noted that the authors of the paper specifially mention the following caveats:

* "The moments sketch accuracy is dataset dependent" Page 9, section 6.2.3.
* "The moments sketch runs into numeric stability issues past k ≥ 15 on some datasets." Page 9, Section 6.2.2
* "The moments sketch ... is most useful in datasets without strong discretization ...  The maximum entropy principle is less accurate when there are clusters of discrete values in a dataset." Page 2, Section 1.

Unfortunately, real data can be quite ugly as it can be highly skewed and with lots of zeros, nulls, gaps, and sometimes negative values.

## The Input Data
The data file used for this evaluation, *streamA.txt*, is real data extracted from one of our back-end servers.  It represents one hour of web-site time-spent data measured in milliseconds. The data in this file has a smooth and well-behaved value distribution with a wide dynamic range.  It is a text file and consists of consecutive strings of numeric values separated by a line-feeds. Its size is about 2GB.

## Creating the Exact CDF and Histograms For Comparison
In order to measure the accuracy of the Moments Sketch, we need an exact, brute-force analysis of *streamA.txt*.

The process for creating these comparison standards can be found [here]({{site.docs_dir}}/Quantiles/ExactQuantiles.html).

## The Results

### K = 15, Size = 141 bytes,  a priori Accuracy = Unknown

The CDF plot:

The green dots in the above plot represents the Exact cumulative distribution (CDF) of ranks to quantile values. The blue dots represent the values returned from the MomentSketchWrapper *getQuantiles(double[])* function.

The plot reveals that the MSketch has improperly shifted the entire distribution by about 12% to the left creating a fixed rank error of at about 12% over the entire range. This is likely due to the zeros that naturally occur in this data. This failure is silent as MSketch does not provide any warning that this kind of distortion might be occurring.

The Msketch does not provide the inverse *getRank(v)* functionality.  This means creating a Histogram or PMF from the Msketch is not simple to do.

Users would be well-advised to not use this tool for serious analysis.

## The Evaluation Source
The following are used to create the plots above.

* [Moments Sketch profiler](https://github.com/DataSketches/characterization/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/datasketches/characterization/quantiles/MSketchStreamAProfile.java)
* [MSketch profiler config](https://github.com/DataSketches/characterization/blob/master/src/main/resources/quantiles/MSketchStreamAJob.conf)
* [StreamA Data file](https://github.com/DataSketches/characterization/blob/master/streamA.txt.zip) This is stored using git-lfs.

Run the above profilers as a java application and supply the config file as the single argument. The program will check if the data file has been unzipped, and if not it will unzip it for you.

The Iron Yard, one of the biggest coding schools in the nation, today announced that it's opening a Detroit campus, probably in the vicinity of downtown.
Starting next month, the Iron Yard will offer two 12-week programs—one devoted to teaching front-end coding skills, and one that covers back-end coding. Each course costs $12,000 per student, though there are some scholarships available (more on that below). As for why the Iron Yard chose to open a Detroit location, the school's co-founder and chief marketing officer, Eric Dodds, said it typically sets up shop in places where the demand for tech talent far outpaces supply.
The Iron Yard was launched three years ago by Dodds and Peter Barth. They originally set out to nurture software startups at the Next Big Thing accelerator in Greenville, SC, but they realized almost immediately there was a fundamental challenge getting in the way: an "acute need" for better local programming talent.
Today, the Iron Yard is in 20 U.S. cities, with an additional campus in the United Kingdom. Dodds said when the Iron Yard is first researching a city it wants to move into, representatives talk with local businesses to find out what their tech-talent needs are. "We make sure we're offering material that fits with the skills they're looking for," he added.
The Iron Yard was interested in Detroit after President Obama included the Motor City in his TechHire initiative, an effort to teach workers in 21 American cities coding and other technological skills. Detroit also proved to be interesting, Dodds said, because there are so many legacy businesses here "trying to transform into tech companies" or implementing significant new processes that involve coding and software.
Enrollment is now open; classes begin on March 14. After the students spend 60 to 80 hours per week for three months learning front-end or back-end coding skills, the Iron Yard holds a demo day to showcase what they've learned. Dodds said the tuition fee covers post-graduate matchmaking with prospective employers.
The school offers $1,000 "diversity scholarships" to students who are traditionally underrepresented in technology—women, for instance—which Dodds said are subsidized directly by Iron Yard staffers. Because the Iron Yard seeks to become a citizen of the local tech community, it also offers free crash courses and kids' programs, usually held one night per week for six weeks.

Avalanche vs. Golden Knights Game 3 Free Picks and Odds Breakdown

The Golden Knights are in desperation mode after dropping both games in Colorado but they will get a taste of home-cookin' on Friday night as they return to the T-Mobile Arena. Let's analyze this Friday night matchup and keep cashing our NHL picks!
Colorado Avalanche vs. Vegas Golden Knights
Friday, June 4, 2021 – 10:00 PM EDT at T-Mobile Arena
After getting blown out in Game 1, the Knights responded with a solid effort that came up just short in dropping a 3-2 overtime decision to the Avalanche on Wednesday night. Vegas got goals from Alec Martinez (power play) and Reilly Smith to even things up and then skated through a scoreless third period.
But despite a 41-25 advantage in shots, the game ultimately hinged on a controversial penalty called on Reilly Smith in overtime that saw the Avs bury the biscuit for the game-winner. They now take a 2-0 series lead heading into Sin City for a Game 3 showdown.
"Just a soft call," Vegas coach Pete DeBoer said. "I can't even blame the refs. Because they're fighting the embellishment of grabbing your face, or falling down or dropping your stick every period. I can't even blame the referee on it. They fooled them on it."
Vegas netminder, Marc-Andre Fleury, was back between the pipes after getting a breather in Game 1, which resulted in a 7-1 destruction of the Knights with Robin Lehner in the net. Curiously, the Vegas goaltending tandem had been alternated religiously by head coach Peter DeBoer down the home stretch of the season. However, once the bell rang for the postseason, it was MAF charged with full-time duty, relegating Lehner to the bench throughout Vegas's seven-game death struggle with the Wild.
Rocky Mountain High
There is no hotter team in the league than the sizzling Colorado Avalanche, having won 11 straight and 14 of their last 15 contests. They picked the opportune time to become the NHL's most ferocious juggernaut and it is not surprising that, according to the NHL odds, they have been installed as an average -258 favorite throughout their 11-game winning streak.
Brandon Saad and Tyson Jost scored during regulation in Game 2 but it was Mikko Rantanen who lit the lamp on the power play in overtime to send the Avs into Game 3 with a 2-0 series edge. And as jubilant as Rantanen was about getting the game-winner, he aptly gave credit to his Vezina finalist teammate, Phillip Grubauer, who was once again an ironman tending the twine in stopping 39 of 41 shots.
"Not our best game, but still found a way," Rantanen said. "That's what we've been doing the whole year. Sometimes we haven't been feeling it and Grubi's been awesome and stealing some wins for us — like today. That's what you need if you want to win the Cup."
Wanna Make a Bet?
It is hard to stop a freight train and that's exactly how I would feel betting against the Avalanche. What reason is there really to jump ship? Vegas played their hearts out in Game 2 and still came up empty. How do they respond after leaving it all on the ice on Wednesday night after being humiliated the game before? And now they have to trudge home down 2-0 to the best club in hockey?
What's more, is that the oddsmakers are giving us plenty of incentive to get down on the Avs at a price that we haven't seen this low in forever. SugarHouse is dealing Colorado as -112 road chalk in their early lines which is just about a pick'em.
Look, I am not unaware that these teams split their season series, 4-4, but the postseason is a different animal and right now the best team just happens to have the best goalie on the planet patrolling the crease for them as well. That's a combination I am not going to ignore and neither should you. If you want a few more reasons to get down on the Avs then take a peek at these betting trends.
– Avalanche are 5-0 in their last five games as a road favorite.
– Avalanche are 5-0 in their last five road games.
– Golden Knights are 1-4 in their last five playoff games as an underdog.
– Golden Knights are 1-5 in their last six games as an underdog.

Who Invented the Guinness Book of World Records and How did it originate?
It isn't Muhammad Ali or Mount Everest or the world's fattest woman who bears the distinction of inspiring the Guinness Book of World Records, it was a golden plover that started it all.
In 1954 Sir Hugh Beaver was hunting in the green hills of Ireland. He shot down ducks and geese, but a flock of plovers escaped him. Gazing at the wintry sky, he wondered what had gone wrong.
The birds must have been awfully fast, in fact, he told his friends that night that the plover was "the fastest game bird we've got." Sir Hugh may have salvaged his reputation of prowess in the hunt, but he did not get a consensus on just what the fastest game bird in the British Isles was. Nor did any encyclopedia provide the answer.
Sir Hugh, who was managing director of Arthur Guinness, Son and Company, the brewer of Guinness stout, went back to work in London but his thoughts were on a book, not beer—a book to which people might turn for a definitive record of all kinds of superlatives. The task seemed formidable, however, until one of his employees at the brewery came up with precisely the right people to tackle it.
All their lives the twins Norris and Ross McWhirter had been avid devotees of trivia. They had amassed hordes of facts and figures from newspapers and magazines and, having memorized a lot of it, they were particularly sensitive to vexing discrepancies.
They organized a business in 1951 which would put the records straight and supply encyclopedias and newspapers with substantiated facts and figures on an enormous range of topics. When not clipping articles, the brothers wrote them: both were sports journalists and they happened to cover a runner who, being a junior executive at Guinness, put them in touch with Sir Hugh.
An interview took place (which Sir Hugh found most informative), and four months later the McWhirters had compiled and published the first volume of the Guinness Book of World Records, then only 198 pages long. Four months after that it was number one on England's nonfiction bestseller list.
Today, Norris McWhirter still edits the Guinness Book of World Records at Guinness Superlatives in Enfield outside of London. His brother was shot and killed in 1975 by the Irish Republican Army. Norris and his 14 member staff wade through some 20,000 letters a year from fans proffering new records, challenging old ones, inventing new fields of endeavor.
Guinnessport, or the attempt to "get into Guinness," has become a popular craze, and McWhirter feels he has to set limits, barring alcoholic drinking contests, for example, to ensure the health and safety of his followers.

Man jailed for disorderly conduct after shooting pellet gun while walking on Safford city street
January 6, 2021 January 6, 2021 - by News Director
Jon Johnson File Photo/Gila Herald: A man was booked into the Graham County Adult Detention Facility on a charge of disorderly conduct and a violation of the city of Safford weapons ordinance after firing a pellet gun while walking down 8th Avenue.
By Jon Johnson
jonjohnsonnews@gmail.com
SAFFORD – Handguns are prevalent in Arizona – it is an open-carry state – and BB or pellet guns that replicate real handguns have been mistaken for the real thing with tragic consequences involving law enforcement or others.
Thankfully, an incident on the evening of Dec. 30, 2020, didn't rise to that level when a man was seen firing what officers initially believed to be a small-caliber handgun into the air while walking on 8th Avenue just south of 8th Street.
According to a Safford Police report, a Graham County Sheriff's Office deputy was at the Speedway gas station at the intersection of 8th Street and 8th Avenue when a man – later identified as Sammy Contreras, 36, pulled a pistol out of his waistband and fired two shots into the air.
The pistol turned out to be a CO2-powered pellet gun, however, it did make a noise the deputy associated with a small-caliber pistol – such as a .22 caliber handgun.
Multiple patrons at the gas station reacted to the shots – according to the deputy's report – and the deputy drove his patrol vehicle across the intersection and initiated his emergency lights.
The deputy contacted Contreras – who at that time did not have the gun in his hands – and questioned why he had fired it. Contreras then reportedly "quickly reached down into his waistband and pulled (out) the pistol", which was all black in color.
The deputy ordered Contreras to drop the gun – still not knowing it was a pellet gun – and step back. Contreras reportedly didn't immediately drop the gun and had to be ordered a second time before complying with the deputy.
Contributed Photo/Courtesy GCSO: Sammy Contreras
After examining the gun, the deputy explained to Contreras that with the sound and look of the pellet gun, it could easily be mistaken for a firearm, and pulling it out when contacted by law enforcement could get him hurt.
The Safford officer then arrived at the scene and – after being informed of the situation – arrested Contreras for disorderly conduct and also gave him a citation for shooting the pellet gun in the city limits. In Safford, it is against ordinance 9.16.010 section D to discharge "any air gun, 'B-B' gun, gas-operated gun or any instrument, toy or weapon . . ." Exceptions include private property and public or private grounds that "are utilized for the purpose of an organized met or shooting match . . ."
Contreras was then taken to jail and booked on his disorderly conduct charge and city of Safford weapons ordinance violation.

A 34′ 34′ field centred on the spiral galaxy M 81 has been searched for emission-line objects using the prime focus wide field camera (WFC) of the 2.54 m Isaac Newton Telescope (La Palma, Spain). A total of 171 candidate planetary nebulae (PNe) are found, 54 of which are in common with the ones detected by Jacoby et al. (1989). The behaviour of PNe excitation as a function of galactocentric distance is examined, and no significant variations are found. The PNe luminosity function is built for the disk and bulge of M 81, separately. A distance modulus of mag is found for disk PNe, in good agreement with previous distance measurements for M 81 (Jacoby et al. 1989; Huterer et al. 1995).
Key words: ISM: planetary nebulae: general / galaxies: individual: M 81 / galaxies: ISM

On September 12, 2004, a 24-year-old female career fire fighter (the victim) died while conducting an initial attack at a wildland fire. A Helitack crew responded in a helicopter to a wildland fire in a remote river drainage with slopes ranging from 80 to 120 percent. The crew began constructing an indirect downhill handline from a forest service road in an attempt to establish an anchor point at the river. A wind shift caused the fire to make an upslope run into the crew. Four crew members ran downhill toward the river while the victim and another fire fighter ran uphill toward another crew member standing on the road.
The victim was overrun by fire and later pronounced dead at the scene. - NIOSH investigators concluded that, to minimize the risk of similar occurrences, fire departments and fire service agencies should: (1) Ensure that crews are able to reach a safety zone(s) quickly when deciding to construct a downhill/indirect handline in steep terrain. (2) Ensure that officers establish an initial attack plan that allows for the fire to be fought aggressively, but provides for the protection and safety of fire fighters first. (3) Ensure that crews fully comply with "The Standard Fire Orders". (4) Ensure that individual crews establish Lookouts, Communications, Escape Routes and Safety Zones (LCES) prior to fighting the fire.


"so does that mean you're simple? i dont think so.."
ahahaha. tinamaan? well, i may be complicated as well.. i have this theory, that all single people are complicated. as compared to the ones who are in a relationship. when someone is in a relationship, they are hooked with their significant other. end of story. while, for people like me, we are hooked up with many things and people. freedom complicates everything.. and so ive learned, why ive been hooking up with freaking complicated men. hahaha!
i love the single life. no dull moments. everyday gimicks. i can talk and be with every guy i want.
weee. well, speaking of boys. i totally feel like a princess when im with my guy friends at school. they follow and obey my every wish and command. hahahaha. oh yes! im being a controlling freak. but its ok. love pa din nila ako despite of it! haha ..its really funny, coz fred is starting to call me "princess" and meric is mocking me as "boss" and the others simply joke me about it. haha. funny!
all i need to survive is marnie and ron! sila lang talaga. ok kaming tatlo eh. super pareho naming tatlo.. like.. lahat kami masama, single, we hate the same people and like the same people, we're bored alomost all of the time, mahilig kaming uminom, nanonood kami ng maalaala mo kaya, and we're all acessible sa timog at tomas morato! haha =p ang super fun!
no expectations. no disappointments. weeeee. and im now uber happy!
the first one to greet me is.... marc!
law school reminds me a lot like high school.
awww.. good times! love it. its like high school kasi parang once again ang uso ay padamihan ng friends, like padamihan ng friends sa ibang section and sa higher years. tapos padamihan ng notes na mahihingi mo sa higher batch. tapos palakasan sa prof at sa office (bwahahahaha). tapos ang higit sa lahat mas cool kapag higher batch ang boyfriend or boylet mo! haha. di ba? pansin niyo? parang high school talaga! ang funny. im like having the best time of my life in SAN BEDA law school.

5 Wileńska Brygada Piechoty (5 BP) – brygada piechoty Polskich Sił Zbrojnych na Zachodzie.

Brygada została sformowana w marcu 1943 roku, w wyniku połączenia 3 i 4 Brygady Strzelców. Wchodziła w skład 5 Kresowej Dywizji Piechoty. Prowadziła działania obronne nad Sangro, walczyła pod Monte Cassino, a następnie w Apeninie Emiliańskim. Jej bataliony blokowały Anconę. Szlak bojowy zakończyła udziałem w bitwie bolońskiej. Po zakończeniu działań wojennych pozostawała w składzie wojsk okupacyjnych we Włoszech. W czerwcu 1946 została przewieziona do Anglii, a od 7 września rozpoczęto zapisy do Polskiego Korpusu Przysposobienia i Rozmieszczenia. Zdecydowana większość jej żołnierzy pozostała na emigracji.

Walki brygady

Działania obronne nad Sangro
5 Wileńska Brygada Piechoty swój chrzest bojowy przeszła w terenie górskim wysokiego Apeninu nad rzeką Sangro. Zima 1944 przejęła ona stanowiska obronne od jednostek dywizji marokańskiej. Jej bataliony obsadziły pozycje obronne w rejonie San Biagio. Zamykały ważną drogę prowadzącą na zaplecze ugrupowań alianckich.
W obronie odcinka "Wilnianie" współdziałali z podporządkowanym dowódcy 5 KDP włoskim Primo Ragruppamento Motorizzato. Działalność bojowa wileńskich strzelców polegała przede wszystkim na organizowaniu systemu patroli, zasadzek i wypadów. Przeciwnikiem były oddziały niemieckiej 5 Dywizji Górskiej.

Podczas trzytygodniowych walk obronnych nad Sangro oddziały polskie ponosiły straty głównie od ognia nieprzyjacielskiej artylerii i moździerzy.

Bitwa o Monte Cassino
Brygada wysłała swój 14 batalion na pozycje osłonowe 5 KOP. Zajął on stanowiska na południowo-zachodnich stokach grzbietu Monte Castellone - wzgórza 706. Na wprost "Żbików" znajdowało się najeżone bunkrami "Widmo" i przełęcz, oddzielająca ten grzbiet od kluczowej pozycji niemieckiej obrony - San Angelo - wzgórza 575. Pozostałe bataliony uderzyły na nieprzyjaciela w nocy 11/12 maja. 15 batalion "Wilków" otrzymał zadanie przekroczenie górnej części Widma i zdobycie San Angelo. 14 batalion "Żbików" przy wsparciu czołgów 4 ppanc i samobieżnych dział 7 pappanc miał opanować południową część wzgórza 517, a następnie zdobycie wzgórza 575.
Trudne warunki terenowe oraz brak wcześniejszego rozpoznania sprawiły, że mimo przejściowych sukcesów, zadania tego bataliony nie wykonały. Stany osobowe obu tych batalionów zmniejszyły się niemal do połowy.

17 maja ruszyło kolejne natarcie. Zginęli w nim dowódca 13 baonu - ppłk Władysław Kamiński i jego zastępca - mjr Jan Żychoń, a ranny został dowódca 15 baonu ppłk Wiktor Stoczkowski. Oba wileńskie bataliony przyczyniły się walnie do zdobycia kluczowej pozycji niemieckiej obrony -wzgórza San Angelo. Poniosły jednak przy tym bardzo dotkliwe straty.

Walki nad Adriatykiem - Ancona

Niespełna miesiąc po bitwie o Monte Cassino jednostki polskie zostały skierowane na odcinek nadadriatycki. 2 Korpus działał tu na samodzielnym kierunku. Jego celem miał być port Ancona.

5 Wileńska Brygada Piechoty weszła ona do walki 4 lipca – w drugiej fazie bitwy. Wspierała oddziały 6 Lwowskiej Brygady Piechoty operujące w widłach rzek Fiumicello i Musone.
5 lipca 15 batalion wzmocniony czołgami 4 ppanc zdobył m. Montoro, a 13 batalion zajął Santa Margherita i Cura Nuova. 6 lipca baon "Wilków" przekroczył Musone w okolicach S. Paulina, a "Żbiki" wsparte szwadronem 15 p.uł. zdobyły Palazzo del Cannone.
9 lipca baon "Rysiów" zdobył rubież stanowiącej dogodną linię wyjściową do natarcia na główną niemiecką linię obrony Ankona - Palazzo Simonetti.

W dniach 17-19 lipca w okresie głównej bitwy o Anconę brygada przełamywała niemiecką linię obrony na wzgórzach Monte delIa Crescia (360) - San Stefano. Natarcie rozpoczął o 6:30 z rejonu Palazzo Simonetti 13 batalion, który po dwóch godzinach walk zdobył San Paterniano. 15 batalion i przydzielony 3 Batalion Strzelców Karpackich wsparte czołgam i później wprowadzonym 14 batalionem, około 13:00 opanowały cały grzbiet Monte della Crescia - S. Stefano, a w nocy miejscowość Offagna.

Okrążane wojska niemieckie wycofały się z Ancony. 18 lipca o 14:30 szwadrony Pułku Ułanów Karpackich wkroczyły przez Bramę św. Stefana do miasta.

W sierpniu 5 Wileńska BP walczyła między rzekami Misa i Czesano. 5 sierpnia jej 15 batalion zdobył m. Ripe, a 9 sierpnia La Croce. 10 sierpnia 13 batalion opanował ważny punkt oporu Monterado. Dzięki działaniom brygady wojska niemieckie zostały odrzucone na taką odległość, która umożliwiła uruchomienie portu w Anconie.

W dniach 18-22 sierpnia 2 Korpus walczył nad Metauro.
Bataliony wileńskie rozpoczęły działania 19 sierpnia, zajmując Monte San Martino, Castelvecchio i Monteporzio. 21 sierpnia 13 batalion opanował grzbiet M. Grigioni, a 15. "Wilków" - m. San Giorgio di Pesaro. Wprowadzony do walki 14 batalion 22 sierpnia zdobył Piagge. 22 sierpnia 5 Wileńska BP zluzowała wyczerpane walkami pułki pancerne 2 BPanc i obsadziła stanowiska na wzgórzach nad Metauro. Zwycięstwo Polaków umożliwiło bezkolizyjne wprowadzenie do walki kanadyjskiego 1 Korpusu i 5 Korpusu brytyjskiego.

14. i 15 batalion strzelców wzięły udział w pierwszej fazie walk o Linię Gotów. 26 sierpnia bataliony przekroczyły Metauro w rejonie Pilone i Borgo Lucrezia. Po opanowaniu Rio Secco i Ponte Murello wzięły następnie udział w zdobyciu ważnego punktu strategicznego Monte delle Forcie.
13 batalion uczestniczył także w manewrze okrążającym prowadzonym przez 1 Brygadę SK. 2 września batalion przekroczył umocnień nad rzeką Foglia i zajął wzgórza Monte Badia i Roncaglia.

Działania w Apeninie Emiliańskim

Celem działań w Apeninie Emiliańskim było wsparcie nacierających się z trudem z Rimini na Bolonię wojsk sprzymierzonych. Walki toczyły się w niezmiernie ciężkim, niemal bezdrożnym terenie górskim, w niesprzyjających warunkach atmosferycznych. Jedyną nadającą się do ruchu pojazdów mechanicznych na rozmokłej, pociętej rzekami i kanałami Nizinie Padańskiej drogą była Via Emilia.

Brygada weszła do działania 18 października 1944. Jej 13 batalion zdobył m. Santa Sofia, a 20 października - m. Galatea. Wprowadzane kolejno bataliony 14. i 15. opanowały M. Sambucheto i M. Altaccio. 22 października rozwijając powodzenie 14 batalion zajął Monte Grosso a 15. - wzgórza M. Spino i M. delle Forche. Następnego dnia 15 batalion zajął dolinę rz. Bidente zdobywając przy tym m. Strada San Zeno. Na tej rubieży oddziały 5 Brygady zluzowała 6 Lwowska Brygada Piechoty.

6 listopada, z rubieży wzgórz położonych na południe od Forli, brygada powtórnie weszła do działania. 7 listopada jej 14 batalion zajął Monte Testo, a 8 listopada 15 batalion opanował Monte Casalude. W tym samym dniu 13 batalion zdobył Monte Agostino. 10 listopada brygada całością sił weszła w dolinę rzeki Montone w okolicach Castrocaro.

Po przegrupowaniu sił, 13 listopada batalion "Wilków" opanował Monte Cerreto nad Terra del Sole. Pozostałe bataliony zdobyły ważne punkty strategiczne ConverselIe (15 XI) i Fattoria (17 XI).
18 listopada 5 Wileńska Brygada Piechoty zluzowana została przez bataliony 2 Brygady Strzelców Karpackich.

Działania wileńskiej brygady przyczyniły się walnie do zajęcia przez działające wzdłuż Via Emilia dywizje brytyjskie stolicy prowincji Forli .

Bitwa o Bolonię

W styczniu 1945 brygada obsadziła odcinek nad rzeką Senio w rejonie Riolo dei Bagni-Cufiano. Prowadziła tam walki pozycyjne. Jej bataliony działały systemami patroli, rozpoznając położenie wojsk przeciwnika.

Na początku marca brygada obsadziła 3-kilometrowy odcinek między jednostkami Grupy "Rud" a nowozelandzką 2 Dywizją Piechoty. Pod koniec miesiąca 14 Wileński Batalion Strzelców odparł w walce wręcz wypad niemieckiej wzmocnionej kompanii piechoty, biorąc 14 jeńców, w tym jej dowódcę.

Na początku kwietnia nastąpiło przegrupowanie jednostek II Korpusu do bitwy bolońskiej. Brygada stanowiła odwód Grupy "Rud". Po przełamaniu obrony przez oddziały 3 DSK i utworzeniu przyczółków za Santerno, 13 kwietnia weszły do działania: 6 Lwowska Brygada Piechoty i grupa pościgowa "Rak".

Dopiero 17 kwietnia 5 Brygada zluzowała brygadę lwowską, a jej bataliony wsparte szwadronami Pułku Ułanów Karpackich, sforsowały kanał Laghetto i dotarły do rzeki Gaiana.

19 kwietnia brygada wzmocniona 6 Pułkiem Pancernym rozpoczęła forsowanie. Przeciwnikiem była niemiecka 1 Dywizja Spadochronowa. W godzinach popołudniowych 13 Wileński Batalion Strzelców, wsparty czołgami i 2 zmotoryzowaną kompanią komandosów, przekroczył Gaiana i dotarł do kanału Fossatone. Piechota zdobyła Cento di Budrio.
Tymczasem pozostałe bataliony brygady dotarły do rzeki Quaderna i ruszyły do przodu celem odcięcia Niemcom drogi odwrotu z Bolonii w rejonie linii kolejowej Bologna-Budrio-Portomaggiore.

Tak zakończyła swój udział 5 Wileńska Brygady Piechoty w operacji bolońskiej i całej kampanii włoskiej .

Nintendo loses a little piece of its identity with 'Super Mario Run'
The perpetual-runner game is everything Nintendo didn't want.

Today, Nintendo announced Super Mario is going mobile -- Super Mario Run will launch on iOS and Android before the end of the year. We knew the company was making more content for smartphones, but for long-time Nintendo fans, this announcement still feels like a shock. For years, Satoru Iwata rallied hard against bringing Nintendo characters to the small screen. "If we did this," he said in 2011, "Nintendo would cease to be Nintendo." The company's leader was adamant: Putting Mario on mobile would make good short-term profits but would ultimately devalue the property. Now that it's here, we have to wonder -- is Nintendo still Nintendo?
The answer to that question might lie in Nintendo's motivation in taking Mario to iOS. At the 2011 Game Developers Conference, Iwata described Nintendo as a company that makes "platforms designed to demonstrate the high value of high-quality video-game software." Like the seal on your old NES cartridge says, Nintendo means quality. Can that quality persist on a mobile device? At the time, Iwata didn't think so. "These platforms have no motivation to maintain the high value of video-game software."
On the other hand, innovation is core to Nintendo's identity. Last year, Iwata told Time that the company's philosophy is rooted in being unique and different. "That philosophy has been passed down to us," he said. "For us to be able to do something unique, that is different from others, being able to design the hardware in order to create unique software experiences gives us the best option."
He was reaffirming the company's focus on building dedicated console hardware -- but in almost the same breath he praised smartphones as a platform for innovation, describing the mobile market as an opportunity to bridge the gap between casual gamers and Nintendo's dedicated game console. Again, the idea was focused on high-quality, innovative games "We will be able to deliver unique experiences to the users of smart devices," he concluded.
So, let's recap: Nintendo is quality. Nintendo is innovation. Will Super Mario Run hold enough value in either to keep Nintendo ... Nintendo? Without actually playing the unreleased game, it's hard to tell for sure, but at a glance, it fails on at least one count -- innovation. Super Mario Run looks fun. It looks well-made. It has good graphics and might have some fun hooks to keep players interested. Buyers even get the whole game at once: Nintendo hasn't priced it yet but says there are no in-app purchases to nickle and dime you. Sadly, none of that is innovative. Super Mario Run is essentially a perpetual runner game -- a title where the main character always moves forward, no matter what. There are hundreds of those.
This puts Mario in good mobile company but it makes Nintendo's biggest property a me-too game. Games like Canabalt, Temple Run, Subway Surfers and Jetpack Joyride have already saturated the mobile market with high-quality runner experiences. Even Mario's long-time rival has one: Sonic Dash. Mario's running down a road well-traveled.
We could give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt and assume Super Mario Run will be a high-quality representation of a well-tread genre -- but it's hard to tell how innovative it really is. Nintendo says players will be able to change Mario's direction and perform other movements by hitting special blocks, and i's levels certainly look more complicated than what you get in your average procedurally generated endless runner title. It's possible the company could be preparing to launch the magnum opus of running games -- the best possible use of the genre. That would be at least a little innovative, if a little less so than we're used to from Nintendo.

Frontier Airlines plane used on Cleveland-to-Fort Lauderdale flight

MIAMI - The airplane that carried the second confirmed Ebola patient from the U.S. later flew into a South Florida airport before it was taken out of service.
Wednesday morning officials confirmed a nurse who cared for Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan traveled on Frontier Airlines Flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Oct. 13 before feeling symptoms of the virus.
PHOTOS: Common myths about Ebola
The same plane used on Flight 1143 was used on an Oct. 14 flight from Cleveland to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The plane with tail number N22OFR later returned to Cleveland that afternoon before heading on a route from Cleveland to Atlanta and then back.
Frontier removed the plane from service early Wednesday following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warning, and according to reports, the airline said the plane was immediately decontaminated.
Officials learned Wednesday afternoon that the nurse may have, in fact, been symptomatic earlier than initially suspected, including the possibility of having symptoms while onboard the flight.
Frontier Airlines announced Wednesday night in light of the new information that the aircraft will remain out of service and will be ferried back to Denver from Cleveland without customers. There it will receive a fourth cleaning that will entail the removal of seat covers and carpets in the immediate vicinity of the infected passenger's seat. Environmental filters will also be changed.
"These extraordinary actions went beyond CDC recommendations," Frontier Airlines said in a statement. "These steps were taken out of concern for the safety of our customers and employees. Steps such as removing the aircraft from service, removing aircraft seat covers and carpet and replacing environmental filters as well as placing the crew on paid leave were not requested nor mandated by the CDC. Frontier expects that the aircraft will return to service in a few days."
CDC officials are asking all passengers on Monday's Flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth to check in to be interviewed.
WHAT TO KNOW: Ebola
The nurse, identified as Amber Vinson, works at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas where Duncan was treated before his death last week. Another nurse at the facility, Nina Pham, was diagnosed with Ebola over the weekend.
David Siegel, CEO of Frontier Airlines, sent an email to employees Wednesday night that read:
We know today has been challenging for Frontier Airlines team members so we felt it important to provide you with an update of the facts and our proactive response to the developments throughout the day.
We take today's events seriously as your safety and that of our customers is always at the forefront of everything we do.
Since we were notified by the CDC, we've proactively placed six crew members (two pilots; four flight attendants) on paid leave for 21 days out of an abundance of caution as the safety and security of our employees is our number one priority. This was over and above CDC guidance that stated that our flight crews were safe to fly.
We have also been working in close cooperation with our unions and appreciate their support on this issue.
