When I went out to E3 in 2013, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was one of the games I saw that immediately jumped to the top of my "gimme" list.
Here's the description from CD Projekt Red:
In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt you become Geralt of Rivia, a monster slayer for hire. You take on the greatest contract of your life — tracking down the Child of Prophecy, a living weapon that can alter the shape of the world. Your journey will take you across the Northern Realms, a vast continent filled with merchant cities, mysterious islands, dangerous mountain passes, and forgotten caverns to explore. Hundreds of armour and weapon upgrades await you, with lethal sword and magic skills at your disposal.
This action RPG takes place in huge open-world environment where the user plays as a "witcher," a monster-killing mercenary with superhuman abilities. Whether the character is good, bad or somewhere in between is entirely up to the player.
Watch the trailer below (Warning: It's NSFW):
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is slated for a May 19, 2015 release for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

SHARING-ENERGY-POSITIVITY
Dancing for me is a dynamic and authentic force that comes from inside; it simply puts my body in motion. Dancing is my external expression of my internal world.
I dance to express this dynamic that is inside me. Feelings of joy, positivity and respect are very important to me and I use them to make my own contribution to the change the world. That is why my slogan is: Sharing-Energy-Positivity.

Afro-Mix Décalé: This is a dance style that I created myself, inspired by different dance styles of African origin. This style of dance is accompanied by urban music from all walks of Africa to the world.
The Afro-Mix Décalé is a combination of several styles of urban dance (Décalé Coupé -Ndombolo- Kuduro- jazze-House-Azonto) inspired by traditional African dances.
At the same time, it shares energy, positive mood, basic information and physical happiness.

Holy Trinity, Hurstpierpoint
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness!
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;
To bend with apples the mossed cottage trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core
Those are the first lines of Keats' poem on Autumn which permeates our culture deeply for all it is little read these days. Ours is the Autumn of the harvest and the store, of contentment at a job well done, of settling to the Winter nights in the full knowledge that the food will not run out. And literary critics will point out the comfort we take at the references to thatched cottages, mossy orchard trees and the general air of plump rusticity; it might be a bygone, almost an innocent, age, but it is deeply embedded within us nonetheless. Autumn carries with it not only the sense of things well done and put in order but of gentle satisfaction. But can we say the same about our own Autumns? Are we spending the last years of life content with what we have stored?
I have been struck this month, even more than usual, as we move towards the twin Feast Days of All Saints and All Souls, by the numbers of people I have heard about who are suffering from terminal cancer: how are their Autumns? There is no point whatsoever - it's a kind of scientific cruelty - to say to those suffering from cancer that a century ago they wouldn't have lived long enough to suffer it; but it should cause us to ask how the endurance of pain and deteriorating functionality affect the view we take of our lives as a whole.
The passages taken from scripture are simple enough in their messages but not to be dismissed for all that. Chapter 23 of Genesis shows Abraham purchasing a burial ground so that all is done properly for his family and their descendants. Abraham has been a wanderer all his life and so he wants a final, fixed resting place where his family can recognise their roots and their inheritance, and it is that idea which prompted me to think of Keats. To what extent do we think of ourselves as part of an on-going human narrative? What have we done that needs to be handed on? Is there any room left for family wisdom or have we become so naively trusting of television documentaries that we think that pseudo-science is our best guide to worth?
To ask these questions is not to disregard the quite proper differences between generations: teenagers have always been troublesome; parents have never reared their children as their parents would advise; grandparents, spared of the daily anxiety of child rearing, are a comfort to their children and blessedly lenient to their grandchildren. These are the differences that we all recognise in the way we grow older but these patterns should reassure rather than worry; they tell us about who we are, and they point towards the kind of Autumn we would want for ourselves.
And there is a kind of irony in the image of Autumn which Keats summons, all brimming and bursting because, when Keats was writing, little was got without hard physical labour and, for all the nostalgia for the thatched cottage, we like our central heating and our telly.
What I am moving towards saying is that we have to see our Autumns in the light of where we are: we live in a complex world which we have deeply tarnished; but that is not to demean who we are and what we have done. If we are not careful, the terrible, poisonous trend towards pessimism and cynicism will lure us into under-valuing what we have done and who we are. I never cease to be amazed at what we learn about people at their funerals, as if their achievements and their wisdom should be kept secret, except from close family, until after their death.
Some older people begin to empty their houses, giving things away; and we might do the same thing spiritually, giving, not hectoring nor complaining, but just giving. It's terribly hard to be selfless without a little moralising sting in the tail, but just being selfless for its own sake is enough. To leave behind a record of quiet compassion and affirmation is a fitting testimony for God's creatures. We have a lot to pass on but it is in what we are, not what we say. Coming from a writer, that might sound somewhat hypocritical but, just as we were taught always to turn off the television when visitors arrived, so no amount of virtuous authorship will equal a kindly act.
And so, let the fruits speak for themselves. Keats wasn't writing an agricultural treatise; he wasn't telling the farmers how to farm; he simply rejoiced in what had been produced.
Which brings me to our Gospel reading where Jesus says he is the Resurrection and the Life. Again, in the context of suffering terrible, mortal illness, it is difficult for many to take in the full meaning of these words. I regret to say that many Christians have lost any sense of why we are here, for they have lost any belief in earthly bodies as simply shadows of what our eternal bodies will be. I often wonder whether people struggling with terrible illness retain any sense of this life as a precursor. Yes, there is that wonderful paradox of the devout Christian, exemplified in Saint Paul, who wanted to die; but not yet. Even those who affirm the resurrection of the body can't help, because of our genetic make-up, hanging on as long as we can.
And behind what Jesus said there is a truth from the Psalms which prompted me to choose Psalm 90, my favourite Psalm and slated for my own funeral. Here, to remind us, are just the first few lines:
Lord, thou hast been our refuge:
From one generation to another.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made:
Thou art God from everlasting, and world without end.
We are part of a wondrous continuity within the compass of the Creator and although our human lives may wither like grass, there is limitlessly more to our createdness than that.
At the conclusion of his poem Keats chides us not to worry about the Spring but to revel in the Autumn for what it is. That is good advice, in terms of earthly conduct at least, for we are sadly dissatisfied with the present moment; but we should be sustained by our belief that, when we have passed on all our life's fruit in the Autumn of our years, whether we are blessed with a calm decline or suffer painful illness, that Spring awaits us.

It's a return to the scene of that emphatic fourteen-man victory in the Guinness PRO14 semi final for the Scarlets as we prepare to take on Leinster in Round 15 of the Guinness PRO14.
After the disappointment of coming away empty handed from Treviso last weekend the Scarlets will look to get their train back on the tracks but Leinster will have exactly the same ideas after losing to Edinburgh last weekend.
Nobody would have thought that this afternoon's clash would have seen Scarlets close out the game with fourteen-men, this time due to injuries.
Despite trailing by ten points in the closing minutes Dan Jones stepped up on the 80th minute to secure a penalty that pushed the Scarlets into losing bonus point territory.
It's the Scarlets who kick off the Dublin encounter with Dan Jones kicking long into Leinster territory.
Leinster come on the attack in Scarlets' half but after a sustained period of attacking rugby by the Scarlets, started by a line out win by second row Steve Cummins just inside Leinster's half the visitor's get first points on the board.
Winger Johnny Mcnicholl is on the end of a thrilling phase where the ball is passed end to end. Macleod and Beirne look particularly strong with ball in hand making the hard yeards before Asquith gets the final long pass out wide to James Davies who finds Mcnicholl in support. He crosses for the opening try. Jones converts.
As we edge towards the twenty minute mark Leinster kick into action from an attacking line out. Their driving line out is effective pushing the Scarlets back into our 22. The ball is cleaned out of the driving line out, shipped wide with winger James Lowe crossing in the far corner. The conversion attempt hits the posts with Scarlets remaining two points ahead.
Leinster are quickly back on the attack in Scarlets' half and look dangerous with ball in hand. Sean Cronin is on a rampage taking three Scarlets to bring him to a stop but the ball is quickly turned over and Beirne puts boot to ball and hoofs it downfield.
The Scarlets keep the pressure on the men in blue but they turnover the ball and kick to touch. It's a line out on the 22 for the visitors. Leinster win a penalty bringing Scarlets' attack to a halt.
We're back in possession just inside our own half. Jones chips the ball in behind Leinster's defensive line but fullback Jordan Larmour kicks it downfield. Possession switches hands but Leinster's second try comes from a Scarlets offering.
A Scarlets line out on our own 22 is won by Leinster. We win the ball back but they soon charge down our clearance kick, which gives them a platform to attack from. In the melee in the far corner winger Lowe gets his second.
Scarlets look to finish the first half with ball in hand and push Leinster back into their half. It's not to be another score before the whistle blows though as a long pass goes dead into touch. A Leinster line out is won by the home team but the Scarlets hold their footing. Time's up and ref calls a day to the first half.
Leinster draw first blood in the second half with scrum half Luke McGrath crossing for a try in the corner near enough from the restart. Replacement Ciaran Frawley adds the conversion to put the homeside ten points ahead.
In the quarter of an hour that ensues it's all Leinster as they keep hold of possession and win the territorial battle but they're unable to break through the defensive barrier.
Leinster are penalised just shy of their own 10 metre line for a high tackle which hands outside half Dan Jones a shot at goal. He lines it up, strikes it sweetly and it's over.
A decision in Leinster's favour is overturned after the infringement is checked with TMO. Scarlets kick to touch but the line out throw in isn't straight handing possession straight back to the homeside.
Ciaran Frawley adds three points with ten minutes remaining. Leinster are ten points ahead with ten minutes remaining on the clock.
Scarlets are down to 14 men after Tom Prydie is take from the field with an injury to his ankle. The visitors will play the remainder of the game facing a full strength Leinster.
With eight minutes remaining on the clock Jones lines up a penalty to bring Scarlets back within losing bonus point territory but the kick is pulled wide of the uprights. Score remains.
In what turned out to be a thrilling final five minutes the Scarlets won possession. The replacement front row of Phil Price, Emyr Phillips and Simon Gardiner put in a massive shift winning a scrum penalty that allowed Jones to kick for posts one final time. He showed fantastic mettle to nail the penalty and secure a losing bonus point for his side.

According to the spokesman of British Prime Minister Theresa May, the country's government is confident that there will be no Armageddon, following Brexit.
"A significant amount of work and decision-making has gone into our no deal plans, especially as it relates to ports, and we know that none of this would happen," the spokesman said.
A source said The Sunday Times the day before, citing a government study that Britain could be hit with food and medicine shortages within two weeks after leaving the European Union if a Brexit deal isn't agreed upon.

Highlights from the House impeachment debate
Web posted at: 8:41 p.m. EST (0141 GMT)
WASHINGTON (December 18, AllPolitics) -- For the first time in 130 years, the full U.S. House of Representatives began to debate the impeachment of the president of the United States. Below are quotes from the heated arguments Friday for and against impeaching President Bill Clinton over his actions to conceal and cover up his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky:
"Resolved, that William Jefferson Clinton, president of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors."
-- House reading clerk Paul Hays, reading the resolution of impeachment
"Boo. Boo."
-- House Democrats, responding to acting Speaker Ray LaHood's rule that members cannot compare the behavior of fellow representatives to the allegations against President Bill Clinton. Speaker-to-be Bob Livingston revealed Thursday that he has had multiple extra-marital affairs.
Rep. David Bonior
"We're concerned, obviously, because we don't believe we should be here today while our men and women are fighting abroad. And we have expressed that in the first motion of the day with respect to adjournment. We don't believe this is a proper time to be debating removing the commander in chief while thousands of men and women are fighting abroad."
-- Minority Whip David Bonior (D-Michigan)
"As to holding this for a couple of more days, that's a decision our conference has made. We felt the quicker we could go ahead the more we could show the world our democracy works."
-- House Judiciary Committee Henry Hyde (R-Illinois), responding to Democratic requests for delaying the debate until military action in Iraq had ceased.
"It's not a question of sex. Sexual misconduct and adultery are private acts and are none of Congress' business. It's not even lying about sex. The matter before the House is a question of lying under oath."
-- Hyde, leading off the impeachment debate.
Rep. Dick Gephardt
"In this debate, we are being denied a vote as an alternative to impeachment for censure and condemnation of our president for the wrongful acts that we believe have been performed. We all say that this is a vote of conscience. You get to vote your vote of conscience, and I respect that right. All we're asking for is that we get to vote our conscience. And it's not just our conscience. It's the conscience of millions of Americans who share this view."
-- Minority Leader Dick Gephardt (D-Missouri), criticizing the Republican leadership's refusal to allow a censure motion to come to a floor vote.
"It's no wonder to me and to you that the people of our country today are cynical and indifferent and apathetic about our government and about our country. The politics of smear and slash and burn must end."
-- Gephardt
"The president certainly understood the gravity of his testimony and the expectation of truthfulness ... But is it impeachable? And the answer is yes."
-- Rep. Asa Hutchinson (R-Arkansas), member of the Judiciary Committee
"Benjamin Franklin spoke of impeachment as an alternative to assassination. Today this body is contemplating a constitutional assassination, driven by a naked partisanship, almost without lawful and civil bounds, the Republican majority is moving to impeach an elected president of the United States."
-- Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Connecticut)
"Not once did I ever worry about what was going on in Congress. I worried about the strike mission, about where the SAMs were, where the Triple A was, about getting back to my carrier alive. They don't care what's going on here. They want this over too. That's not a factor in this."
-- Rep. Randy Cunningham (R-California), referring to his experience as a pilot in Vietnam, defending the debate's timing as the U.S. is engaged in military action in Iraq.
"I cannot trust him again. Today, we are engaged in war in the Persian Gulf. I was assured by Secretary Cohen and by the director of our Central Intelligence Agency that the timing was justified. Those are honorable men. And because of their testimony, I believe the timing was justified. But I do not believe it was justified because of what President Clinton has said, because I can no longer believe him."
-- Rep. Tom Campbell (R-California)
"President Clinton is not guilty of the trumped up charges presented in these four articles of impeachment. Yes, Bill Clinton is guilty of certain indiscretions, in his private life. However, he did not commit high crimes and misdemeanors. Rather the president is guilty of being a populist leader of who opened up government, and access to poor, to minorities, to women, and to the working class."
-- Rep. Maxine Waters (D-California)
"What we say here today will be but paragraphs perhaps even footnotes in the pages of history to be written by those to come. What we do here will be indelibly printed on the American tradition. Let not this House grant a pardon to the president for his criminal offenses. Let not history look back on this day and say there, on that date, America surrendered the rule of law."
-- Rep. Kenny Hulshof (R-Missouri)
"The majority decided to give in to the worst within themselves, their abiding hatred of this president. The majority has decided to discard our history, to damage our Constitution and to threaten our future to get the president, all the while pompously pronouncing that they are doing the opposite."
-- Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-California)
"I believe perjury does meet at least the definition of high misdemeanor. In my mind, it certainly meets the measure of high crime."
-- Rep. Nancy Johnson (R-Connecticut)
Rep. Paul McHale
"It is difficult, perhaps impossible, to salvage any sense of nobility in reviewing the allegations before us. But there is one truth. The most basic rights of the people will be preserved only so long as public officials at every level of government tremble before the law. As a deeply disheartened Democrat, I will be voting yes on impeachment articles 1, 2 and 3."
-- Rep. Paul McHale (D-Pennsylvania)
"What's incredible is the American people have looked into their conscience and found that forgiveness. People from all walks of life, from every different corner of this country, have found forgiveness. There's only one group of people that I can find that can't find that forgiveness, and that is people that have been locked in struggle over so many questions dealing with the future of this country against President Clinton's agenda over the course of the last four years. And that's what this is all about."
-- Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-Massachusetts)
"Those of us on our side of the aisle do not view this as a partisan issue. In fact, as Republicans, it is not in our political interest to see the president of the United States impeached and removed from office. The last thing in the world we would want politically from a rational basis is to see Mr. Gore, Vice President Gore, assume the presidency and be in the office for a while to have combat and to have established that position for the year 2000 elections."
-- Rep. Bill McCollum (R-Florida)
We have no authority to invent sanctions such as censure or reprimand. If anybody has that authority, it's the Senate. But we cannot do that."
-- Rep. Ed Bryant (R-Tennessee)
Rep. Tom Lantos
"If our Republican colleagues allow a vote on censure, and even if that vote fails, they will give respect and legitimacy to these proceedings. Should a censure vote prevail, they will allow the voice of the true majority to triumph. Some of my very best friends sit on the other side of the aisle, and I would defend their right to vote their conscience with my life, if necessary. I find it unbelievable that they want to limit my right to vote my conscience."
-- Rep. Tom Lantos (D-California)
"As part of my own personal deliberations, in the last 48 hours I've spoken to both former President Ford and Bob Dole. Both men emphatically told me that they -- and of course, both are former House members -- that they would vote to impeach, that they felt it was the duty of the House."
-- Rep. Frank Riggs (R-California). Both Ford and Dole have said they think censure would be the appropriate punishment for Clinton.
"Let us not be confused. Today Republicans are impeaching Social Security, they are impeaching affirmative action, they are impeaching women's right to choose, Medicare, Medicaid, Supreme Court justices who believe in equal protection under the law for all Americans. Something deeper in history is happening than sex, lying about sex and perjury. In 1868, it was about reconstruction and in 1998, it's still about reconstruction."
-- Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Illinois)
"Most of us feel a surreal atmosphere here in America's capital. I envisioned the dome of this magnificent building swathed in black, for this is truly a day of mourning and history will not judge us well. The process that brought us to this point is so fatally flawed ... that no once can reasonably feel that justice has been done."
-- Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-New York)
"The Senate ... could terminate prior to conclusion. The Senate could impose a penalty, it is my opinion, without removal, or the Senate could convict and remove. The Senate is capable of discharging the duty in one of several ways in limited time. The people's House is the body charged with the duty of accusing, and this is the duty we will discharge."
-- Rep. Howard Coble (R-North Carolina)

Asthalin tablets containing Albuterol are bronchodilators which help in the treatment of breathing ailments such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Asthalin tablets containing Albuterol are bronchodilators which help in the treatment of breathing ailments such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Asthalin tablets are also useful in the treatment of asthma developed from exercise routines. Albuterol belongs to a class of medications which are known as short acting, selective beta-2- adrenergic receptor agonist. In our online pharmacy, Asthalin tablets are available in the strength of 2 mg and 4 mg of Albuterol/ Salbutamol Sulphate. We also have in stock Generic ProAir Inhaler (Asthalin by Cipla) which is used to treat or prevent bronchospasm in people with reversible obstructive airway disease and also used to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm.
You should use Asthalin tablets exactly as recommended by your doctor. Your doctor may suggest a dosage of Asthalin tablets depending on your medical requirement, body weight, other medical conditions, and current medications. Asthalin tablets should be taken at least twice a day with a glass of water, before or after a meal. Try to maintain a regular schedule for the medication such that you take Salbutamol Sulphate tablets at the same time every day, to get the maximum benefit of the medication. Doctors usually recommend a dosage of 8 mg administered every 12 hours in adults and children over 12 years of age. In some patients, a dosage of 4 mg Salbutamol Sulphate tablets provides an adequate result. In children between the ages of 6 and 12 years, the recommended dosage is 4 mg every 12 hours. Your doctor may alter the dosage of Albuterol tablets and dosage period depending on your response to treatment. However, adults and children above the age of 12 years should not be administered more than 32 milligrams of Asthalin tablets in a day, while children between the ages of 6 to 12 years should not take more than 24 milligrams of Salbutamol Sulphate tablets in a day. Albuterol tablets (Asthalin) cannot be administered in cases of sudden breathing attacks. For such sudden breathing cases, doctors usually recommend a quick-relief inhaler during the course of treatment with Asthalin tablets.
Use Asthalin exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Always keep the inhaler upright during the loading of the dose and administration steps. If you can feel a slightly sweet tasting powder in your mouth after inhaling, you have received the dose and the active substance has reached your lungs. During use, regularly wipe the mouthpiece with a fibre-free tissue or soft cloth. Always replace the inhaler cap after you have used the inhaler. Always tell your doctor if you suffer from an over active thyroid gland. Take special precaution if you experience chest pains. Take special care with salbutamol if you suffer from any disease of the heart.


Salman Khan was recently asked by Yash Raj Films to take time out to shoot Kabir Khan directed 'Ek Tha Tiger's promotional video in Morocco. But the Dabangg dude flatly refused the idea. Much to everyone's surprise, Salman expressed that he would not be available for the film's shoot any further in Morocco which eventually put the director and the production team in a dilemma. So much that it was later decided that a part of Morocco would be designed here in Mumbai itself and the shoot for the film would continue, being uninterrupted by any such minor warts. Salman, who is doing his first film with the Yash Raj has finally made the biggest production house of India comply to his terms and conditions without even doing much. But an actor who is known to be free, frank and casual, devoid of all starry tantrums have made headlines with this changed attitude and behaviour already.
'Ek Tha Tiger' – the most awaited romantic thriller of the year, that is slated for an Eid 2012 release has been shot extensively at picturesque locales all over the globe. The film has been shot over ten countries including Cuba, Ireland, Turkey, Iraq and India.
The first official trailer of the highly anticipated film of the year will be released along with Yash Raj's upcoming flick titled 'Ishaaqzaade' featuring Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor that hits the theaters tomorrow.

It turns out that the U.S. military's fabled Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MREs) and First Strike Rations, designed to have a shelf life of years, really don't last that long when deployed to the Middle East, according to a study by University of Florida researchers. Exposure to temperatures as high as 140 degrees shortens that lifespan to four weeks or less, according to the $6.7 million study. That translates into millions of dollars a year in lost rations, as the Defense Logistics Agency buys approximately 30 million MREs annually.

Premium processing for FY-2019 H1B Cap cases had been suspended since April 2, 2018. H1B Cap premium processing was to return September 11. This latest announcement, as of September 11, extended suspension of H1B Cap petitions and included most other H-1B petitions (changes of employer, changes of status and amendments) except for H1B petitions for continuation of previously approved employment without change.
The H1B is the most often employer sponsored U.S. employment authorization. Litwin & Smith is very successful in preparing and obtaining H1B nonimmigrant visas for employers without RFE and NOID, and subsequent immigrant visas and green cards for their employees. We prepare hundreds of such petitions each year. We offer excellent service at a competitive price.

A-Rod, despite all his issues, deserves to be in Cooperstown.
The seemingly never ending saga that is Alex Rodriguez's Major League Baseball career will be coming to an end Friday evening in the Bronx.After a 22-year run and on the heels of teammate Mark Teixeira announcing his retirement at season's end, baseball's most notorious villain will hang up his cleats for good.
Over A-Rod's career he has amassed 3114 base hits, 2084 runs batted in, 696 home runs and a whopping $410 million dollars playing for the Mariners, Rangers and Yankees.When he broke into the league in 1994 I don't think anyone could have expected what was to come from A-Rod.One of the most physically gifted baseball players the game has ever seen had his ups and downs during his career both on and off the field.We all know about the repeated PED scandals, but we forget that he did - in fact - have positive impact on the game.
Despite what your perception of Alex Rodriguez has been, the man showed up to work everyday with a smile on his face and played the game that he loved with a child-like enthusiasm.Being able to enjoy what you do for a living is something that a lot of people never get to do and A-Rod took full advantage of the opportunity he had (and then some).It's unfortunate that he will be mostly remembered for using steroids, but to watch him go out every day and play was a treat because you could see how much fun he had playing baseball.His spirit was contagious and every time he stepped onto the field you could feel his spirit.
The next stage in A-Rod's life will most definitely an interesting one because we know he cannot stay out of the spotlight for long.Every year when the baseball writers vote for who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame, A-Rod's name will be brought up.I believe that he deserves to be in the Hall despite the steroid controversy he brought upon himself.It takes a man to admit he is wrong and A-Rod has done that numerous times now. That shows the character he has.
Also, it's not like A-Rod is the only guy being considered for the Hall of Fame that has had issues with PEDs in the past.Quite honestly, it would not surprise me if it came out that maybe 20 percent of the players in the Hall of Fame used some sort of PED in their career.
In an age where being in the spotlight comes along with all eyes are on you at all times, it was inevitable that A-Rod was going to get caught.It seems like every three weeks a player is suspended in some level of baseball for using illegal drugs, but those players are not in the spotlight that A-Rod had shined on him.
A-Rod had one hell of a career, and the future for him is brighter than most people may think.Whether he ends up working for an MLB team, or a television network, his friendly demeanor and personality will be an asset to the baseball community as a whole.

Atypowa hiperplazja przewodowa (ADH) jest to nadmierny rozrost komórek przewodu mlecznego. Jest to zmiana łagodna, często bezobjawowa, która może jednak wskazywać na podwyższone ryzyko zachorowania na raka gruczołu sutkowego. Morfologicznie ADH różni się ilościowo od nieinwazyjnego raka wewnątrzprzewodowego (DCIS).

Leczenie

Atypowa hiperplazja przewodowa nie wymaga leczenia, natomiast ze względu na podwyższone ryzyko zachorowania na raka sutka zalecana jest regularna kontrola piersi.

WHITE HOUSE WARRIORS:
HOW THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL CHANGED THE AMERICAN WAY OF WAR
About WHITE HOUSE WARRIORS
When Michael Flynn resigned in disgrace as the Trump administration's national security advisor the New York Times referred to the National Security Council as "the traditional center of management for a president's dealings with an uncertain world." Indeed, no institution or individual in the last seventy years has exerted more influence on the Oval Office or on the nation's wars than the NSC, yet until the explosive Trump presidency, few Americans could even name a member.
With new archival discoveries and clear-eyed analysis, John Gans traces the NSC's rise from a collection of administrative clerks in 1947 to what one recent commander-in-chief called the president's "personal band of warriors." A former Obama administration speechwriter, Gans draws upon nearly 100 interviews with policymakers and more than 10,000 original documents to reveal the NSC's unmatched power.
Called "a must-read for anyone interested in how Washington really works," White House Warriors also traces the path that has led the United States to an era of American aggression abroad, debilitating fights within the government, and whispers about a deep state conspiring against the public.
JOHN GANS, PhD, is the director of communications and research at Perry World House, the University of Pennsylvania's global policy institute, and a Fellow at the German Marshall Fund. A former chief speechwriter at the Pentagon, he lives in Haddonfield with his wife Anjuli and two sons.

People pray outside the scene of Saturday's shooting at a supermarket, in Buffalo, N.Y., Sunday, May 15, 2022. The shooting is the latest example of something that's been part of U.S. history since the beginning: targeted racial violence. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)
Buffalo shooting highlights 'great replacement' conspiracy and it's role in racist attacks
Posted: May 16, 2022 / 06:14 AM EDT
Updated: May 16, 2022 / 11:22 AM EDT
NEW YORK (AP) — A racist ideology seeping from the Internet's fringes into the mainstream is being investigated as a motivating factor in the supermarket shooting that killed 10 people in Buffalo, New York. Most of the victims were Black.
Ideas from "The Great Replacement Theory" filled a racist manifesto supposedly posted online by the white 18-year-old man accused of targeting Black people in Saturday's rampage. Authorities were still working to confirm its authenticity.
Buffalo mass shooter's alleged manifesto leaves no doubt attack was white supremacist terrorism
Certainly, there was no mistaking the racist intent of the shooter.
WHAT IS THE GREAT REPLACEMENT THEORY?
Simply put, it says there's a conspiracy afoot to diminish the influence of white people.
Believers say this goal is being achieved both through immigration of nonwhite people into societies that have largely been dominated by white people, as well as through simple demographics, with white people having lower birth rates than others.
The theory's more racist adherents believe Jews are behind the so-called replacement conspiracy. When white supremacists marched in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, their chants included "you will not replace us" and "Jews will not replace us."
Buffalo supermarket mass shooting: What we know about the victims
A more mainstream view in the U.S. suggests Democrats are encouraging immigration from Latin America so more like-minded potential voters replace "traditional" Americans, said Mark Pitcavage, senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism.
WHAT ARE ITS ROOTS?
How long has racism existed? Broadly speaking, its roots are that deep. In the U.S., you can point to efforts to intimidate and discourage Black people from voting — from replacing white voters at the polls — that date to the post-Civil War era.
In the modern era, most experts point to two influential books. "The Turner Diaries," a 1978 novel written by William Luther Pierce under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald, is about a violent revolution in the United States with a race war that leads to the extermination of nonwhites.
The FBI called it a "bible of the racist right," said Kurt Braddock, an American University professor and a researcher at the Polarization and Extremism Research & Innovation Lab.
A 2012 book by Frenchman Renaud Camus, about Europe being invaded by Black and brown immigrants from Africa, was called "Le Grand Remplacement" and a name was born.
WHO ARE ITS ADHERENTS?
To some of the more extreme believers, certain white supremacist mass killers — in Norway in 2011, two New Zealand mosques in 2019, a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018, a Black church in South Carolina — are considered saints, Pitcavage said.
Those "accelerationist white supremacists" believe small societal changes won't achieve much, so the only option is tearing down society, he said.
President Biden, First Lady to visit Buffalo Tuesday after mass shooting
The Buffalo shooter's alleged diatribe and some of his apparent methods indicate he closely studied the New Zealand shooter, particularly the effort to livestream his rampage. He reportedly inscribed the number 14 on his gun, which Pitcavage said is shorthand for a 14-word white supremacist slogan.
A "manifesto" by the New Zealand shooter was widely spread online. If the message from the Buffalo shooter proves authentic, it seems designed to also spread his philosophy and methods to a large audience.
IS THE THEORY MAKING WIDER INROADS?
While more extreme forms of racism are clearly scorned, many experts are concerned about a mainstreaming of some views.
In a poll released last week, The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 1 in 3 Americans believe an effort is underway to replace U.S.-born Americans with immigrants for electoral gain.
On a regular basis, many adherents to the more extreme versions of The Great Replacement Theory converse through encrypted apps online and tend to be careful. They know they're being watched.
"They are very clever," Braddock said. "They don't make overt calls to arms."
How to help those affected by the Buffalo mass shooting
WHO'S TALKING ABOUT REPLACEMENT?
In particular, Tucker Carlson, Fox News' most popular personality, has pushed false but more politically palatable views that are seen as sympathetic by some white people who are concerned about a loss of power.
"I know that the left and all the gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term 'replacement,' if you suggest the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World," he said on his show last year. "But they become hysterical because that's what's happening, actually, let's just say it. That's true."
A study of five years' worth of Carlson's show by The New York Times found 400 instances where he talked about Democratic politicians and others seeking to force demographic change through immigration.
Fox News pointed to repeated statements that Carlson has made denouncing political violence of all kinds.
The attention paid by many Republican politicians to what they see as a leaky southern border along the United States has been interpreted, at least by some, as a nod to the concern of white people who worry about being "replaced."
House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik's campaign committee was criticized last year for an advertisement that said "radical Democrats" were planning a "permanent election insurrection" by granting amnesty to undocumented immigrants who would create a permanent liberal majority in Washington.
Pitcavage said he's concerned about the message Carlson and some who agree with him are sending. "It actually introduces the Great Replacement Theory to a conservative audience in an easier-to-swallow pill," he said.

59 sealed sarcophagi and mummies discovered in Egypt
Shane McGlaun - Oct 6, 2020, 5:01am CDT
Khalid el-Anany, Egypt's tourism and antiquities minister, announced last weekend that archaeologists had unearthed dozens of ancient sarcophagi and mummies discovered in a large necropolis south of Cairo. The minister said that there were at least 59 sealed sarcophagi with mummies inside most of them. The mummies were buried inside three wells more than 2600 years ago.
The minister says he considered this the start of a "big discovery," noting that the area had an unknown number of coffins remaining to be discovered. A news conference announcing the discovery was held at the Step Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara, where the coffins were found. The coffins were placed on display, and one was opened to show a mummy inside.
Egypt's Saqqara plateau is home to at least 11 pyramids and hundreds of tombs of ancient officials and other sites ranging from the first dynasty, spanning 2920 BC through 2770 BC, to the Coptic spanning 395 through 642. Along with the sarcophagi and mummies, archaeologists also discovered 28 statues of Ptah-Soker, the necropolis' main deity. A carved 35-centimeter tall bronze statue of Nefertum featuring precious stones was among artifacts found.
The mummy tomb, which has been sealed for 2500 years, has been opened for the first time. pic.twitter.com/KWGT95girv
— Psychedelic Art (@VisuallySt) October 5, 2020
On the base of that statue was the name of its owner, Priest Badi-Amun. The Saqqara site is part of the necropolis of the ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis, which includes the iconic Giza Pyramids and several other smaller pyramids. The coffins discovered at the site will join 30 ancient wooden coffins found in October in the southern city of Luxor to be showcased at the Grand Egyptian Museum being built near the Giza Pyramids.
Egypt is building the museum to revive its tourism sector devastated after the 2011 uprising in the country and the coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Mustafa Waziri was the head of the archaeological mission that discovered the sarcophagi.

Data bootcamp Karachi was a three day event, the first of its kind in Karachi, organized by IBA University. The purpose of the workshop was to make journalists know how they can work with technologists (programmers and designers) to build better products.
Around 50 people participated in the event. The event was divided into several parts. The first day was the hands-on training session. In this session, professionals from Code of Africa and Hacks hackers Pakistan gave training on multiple tools.
Saman Naz, Alif Ailaan Burhan Rasool, Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), Govt of Punjab Fahim Zaman, Dawn GIS took place. It was moderated by Khurram Hussain.
The web based portal collected information from HRCP, newspapers and multiple other sources. The portal would also be having different features like resource directory through which people can get information about relevant NGOs, activist groups, doctors, psychologists, lawyers, etc.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT? We are different because we will be providing greater detail, better coverage, graphical and easy to use data. This platform will also be unique in the sense that the existing statics of incidences is available in a non-coherent fashion and since this is a prevalent issue, this website will be bringing the issue on the forefront in a holistic way.
People cannot compare price of products in market in real-time. Cannot find where the product with lowest cost is available and have no idea how to complain to the authority in case of being overcharged. Unless media makes a noise about it. But as media needs data, but no data is available for them. So, we will be solving that problem. The web app (KITNAY KA) will be generating heat maps based on user input that will be geo tagged thus providing evidence based reporting for journalists so to create the pressure on policy makers to curb the malicious practice. What we will be doing: 1. Getting user input about prices by users (by App and SMS) 2. Providing them with official price information in an easy manner. 3. Generating heat maps highlighting areas with high inflation 4. Providing user complaint to commissioner.
The app is already available on bit.ly/kitnayka and you can get the price information by sending boot-1 to 80024.
Problem: Job trend reports are not available for PK on a periodic basis.
Solution: Provide monthly interactive report by geography and sector with contextual analysis.
Data sources: Initially rozee.pk, then newspaper ads scanning and using OCR apps and other portals.
Competition: Gartner does regional analysis but it is paid.

Rachael Wilkinson, Lancaster BID Manager
Lancaster has a distinctly international feel these days and never more so than at Christmas. This year, the popular International Food market is set to return, with dozens of stalls from across Europe selling festive treats. Locals already experience an array of French, Greek, Italian and Indian foods every Wednesday and Saturday at the city's Charter Market and, during the rest of the week, there's a wider variety of cuisine than ever before with three Chinese restaurants, two Turkish, a Hawaiian and a cocktail bar all opening in the past two months.
Rachael Wilkinson, manager of Lancaster Business Improvement District (BID), cites the number of overseas students in the city for the change in cuisine – for instance, the university has seen Chinese nationals increase by 50% over the past five years.
The bars and restaurants certainly add to the vibrancy of the city, complemented by the range of festivals throughout the year. A few years ago, perhaps more, Lancaster woke to the fact that if it wanted to attract visitors it needed to put on events. And that's exactly what it's done from the Music Festival and a chilli festival to a family friendly Dinosaur Day.
This month though, it's all about Christmas – it's got a Christmas market, reindeer, lights switch-on, animatronic snow lion, the return of the international food market, two Christmas shows, a craft market, carol services and a world record attempt involving salsa dancing Santas. Phew.

'We have a full campaign, something on every weekend before Christmas so people can shop here rather than going to the Trafford Centre!' said Rachael.
The Santa Salsa in Market Square has been organised by one of the city's charities, CancerCare, which has swapped its annual Santa Dash for something more exotic.
'We are aiming for the Guinness World Record for the most people at a salsa lesson. We need 1,830 and there are prizes for people who have raised the most money. We like the idea of bringing a bit of warmth and sun to a Christmas event in the cold winter months,' said CancerCare's Anna Saczek. Anyone is welcome to join in on November 26 and the charity has lots of Santa suits which can be borrowed.
Lancaster Castle is also playing its part. For the third year running it is holding a Christmas market in its grounds, complete with Santa's grotto, brass band and carol singers. The event attracted more than 9,000 visitors in 2016, although due to major construction work the Grotto will be in the Chapel Courtyard instead of the Well Tower this year. The building work which is Phase Two of the castle refurbishment is scheduled to finish in 2019.

In the city centre, although the British Home Stores building is still vacant and one of Lancaster's legendary shops, Fawcetts Country Sports, relocated earlier in the year, lots of new independent businesses have opened including the Freehold Yarn Company – set up by young Australian Amy Nowell who also designs knitwear – and HMV has returned to St Nicholas Arcades. 'There's quite a good arts and culture heritage so it's good to see HMV back,' said Rachael. New Street, once the place where the great and good would shop, has had a troubled few years with lots of empty units, but now it's almost full with a glamorous beauty salon, a tattooist and various cafes and restaurants. There's also a new art gallery on the one-way system – no longer constantly grid-locked since the £132-million link road opened.
It's the idea of husband and wife Roy Smith and Kath McDonald, who rediscovered their love of art as mature students, opened the exhibition space this autumn and have already put on two shows. This month they are staging an affordable art show exhibiting contemporary pieces all priced under £100 at King Street Studios.
'This is a space where people can enjoy the pleasure of looking at art and engage without the pressure of having to get their cheque books out. They can reflect and enjoy what they are looking at,' said Roy. They also have a studio space which can be rented by artists and hope to hold drawing and painting workshops next year.
'We want to promote local artists and also bring into the area good examples regionally of contemporary art. We also want something here which is supportive; a helping hand,' said Kath.
Lancaster Escape, the city's first escape room, is also proving popular since it opened recentlyn. It's the idea of father and son Stephen and Peter McGarry who saw a gap in the market.
This is Crystal Maze type interactive, entertainment experience that presents guests with three customised rooms each with a riddle that they must solve within a fixed time.
Peter, a physiotherapist, said they started planning it at Easter and then spent the next six months finding a property and designing the fiendish rooms, one of which is themed on the Pendle Witches (you solve the clues in a series of very dark, spooky rooms) and another a police interrogation room (Stephen is retired from the police force).
'I had done several escape rooms around the country and said someone should open one in Lancaster. So I took mum and dad and family to an escape room in Manchester….we came up with the concept and the storylines,' said Peter. After taking on seven members of staff, the escape room opened in mid October and within the first week had more than 70 bookings – many of them students from the city's two universities.
Following the international theme, Lancaster University recently saw 90 students graduate at the first ever degree ceremony at its new campus in Ghana (the first UK university to establish its own campus in sub-Saharan Africa). It's just one of many success stories at the university which this year was named University of the Year by the Sunday Times newspaper.
Lancaster is feeling upbeat and there are lots of plans for 2018 to keep visitors flooding in – it's set to benefit from a £1m investment to encourage US visitors to discover the historic city; the popular Dinosaur Day is likely to be repeated in June, there will be a Pirate Day and there's even talk of reviving Lancaster Carnival. Old and new mixing together in a city which is slowly getting its mojo back.

X Games Minneapolis 2020 sería un evento multideportivo internacional organizado por X Games que estaban originalmente programados para el 17 al 19 de julio, en Mineápolis, Estados Unidos.

El 24 de abril de 2020, ESPN organizador del evento anunció que debido a las preocupaciones por la Pandemia de COVID-19, los X Games Minneapolis 2020 serían cancelados.

Evento

Es la primera vez en 25 años de eventos que se cancela un X Games de verano, y la noticia llegó solo tres meses después de que ESPN pospusiera lo que habría sido su primer evento en China, X Games Chongli 2020, también debido a preocupaciones sobre el nuevo coronavirus.

Los X Games 2020 fueron los últimos bajo el contrato de ESPN con Minneapolis, donde se lleva a cabo el evento desde 2017, y no hay planes actuales para renovarlo. En ese tiempo, sin embargo, los X Games han dejado una huella indeleble en la ciudad, tanto económica como culturalmente.

En cada uno de los últimos tres años, los X Games y su programación asociada, que incluyó conciertos en The Armory, exhibiciones con artistas locales y activaciones de marca fuera del U.S. Bank Stadium, generaron alrededor de $50 millones al año en impacto económico total, según el ejecutivo de Sports Minneapolis, director Melvin Tennant.

El impacto local de los X Games va mucho más allá de los 119.000 aficionados (cifra de 2018) que vieron los eventos en el US Bank Stadium. ESPN y X Games diseñaron un parque de patinaje heredado, Central Skatepark, que sigue siendo un elemento permanente en Central Gym Park. En X Games Minneapolis 2018, el segundo año en que la ciudad fue anfitriona de los X Games, los comisionados de la Junta de Parques y Recreación de Minneapolis (MPRB) aprobaron el Plan de actividades del parque de patinaje de Minneapolis, una hoja de ruta de 20 años para aumentar la cantidad de parques de patinaje en Minneapolis y fomentar el patinaje entre las generaciones futuras. Otro nuevo parque bajo la iniciativa, el parque de patinaje JXTA, abrió en junio de 2019.

Disciplinas canceladas

La cancelación elimina otro evento más para los atletas de Skateboard, BMX y Moto X del calendario de deportes extremos. El skateboarding de estilo libre y el BMX estaban listos para hacer su debut en los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 2020 en Tokio, pospuestos para 2021. Además, los campeonatos mundiales y otros elementos básicos de verano como Dew Tour y Vans BMX Pro Cup se pospusieron o cancelaron.

Sin embargo, ESPN tuvo planes para exhibir y celebrar a los atletas de deportes extremos. Su Real Series, ahora en su undécimo año, ya es una especie de competencia virtual, destacando a los atletas de esquí, snowboard, skateboard, BMX y Moto X en partes de video adaptadas a su propio estilo. Hubo un componente de votación de los fanáticos, y los jueces de los X Games otorgan medallas de oro, plata y bronce de los X Games a los primeros lugares.

Publishing/Editing, Three Questions, Writing, Zombies: More Recent Dead
THREE QUESTIONS: Alex Dally MacFarlane
August 20, 2014 August 19, 2014 maggiedot
The title of Alex Dally MacFarlane's story, "Selected Sources for the Babylonian Plague of the Dead (572-571BCE)," may be nearly as long as the story itself, but its relatively short word count packs a punch. This is a wonderful, colorful tale allowing a stolen glimpse into a long-lost civilization governed by three powerful princesses whose cities are suddenly overrun with hordes of walking dead which all traditional zombie-slaying wisdom fails to eradicate. The detail and styling of this tale make it a delight to read, and the imagery–at once beautiful, then horrifying–will linger.
Prepare yourself for the coming apocalypse and save yourself a copy of Zombies: More Recent Dead before it's released in September! You can pre-order a copy from Barnes & Noble, Powell's Books, IndieBound, or Amazon.
1. The Writing Question: What is your typical writing routine? Do you write every day, some days, only when inspired?
I write fiction alongside other work: freelance work, my Tor.com column, postgraduate study (although I'm in-between degrees at the moment). I've also discovered it's advisable to take time off and regularly exercise. Some weeks I write daily, some weeks I don't write at all – it really depends on deadlines.
2. The Zombie Question: What enticed you to writing this zombie story?
There's an Assyrian tablet about a fox falling into a well. I saw it and thought: oh, I need to put this in a story! So I did. The rest of the story grows from an article I read on my MA about the Babylonian princesses Innin-Eṭirat, Kaššaya and Ba'u-asītu: the three women in the story. They were real. The article is "Ba'u-asītu and Kaššaya, Daughters of Nebuchadnezzar II" by Paul-Alain Beaulieu. I wanted to write about these women sending letters to each other. Because I wanted to send a story to a zombie-themed anthology, Zombies: Shambling Through the Ages edited by Steve Berman, they're sending letters about solving the problem of a plague. I wrote it in one day about a third of the way through my MA.
There's another letter I love, from Šerua-eṭirat – eldest daughter of Esarhaddon, the king of Assyria – to Libbali-šarrat – wife of Assurbanipal, crown prince of Esarhaddon – where Šerua-eṭirat admonishes/encourages Libbali-šarrat to improve her literacy. The history of women is often flat, uniform, oppressed – the reality is more complex and varied than this. Though it frustratingly omits Babylonian evidence, after opening with a criticism of Herodotus' oft-cited quote about Babylonian sexual practises, Women in the Ancient Near East: A Sourcebook edited by Mark Chavalas is an interesting introduction to the sources for this region. It includes Šerua-eṭirat's letter.
In hindsight I wish I had put all of the story in letters instead of using a reconstructed oral tradition for part of it, but that's perhaps a sign of how my fondness for letters grew during my MA.
3. The Random Question: What are you reading currently?
As I write this, I'm reading a few books! Are All Warriors Male? Gender Roles on the Ancient Eurasian Steppe is a book of articles edited by Katheryn M. Linduff and Karen S. Rubinson trying to examine the piecemeal evidence across millennia and a vast geographical region for evidence of gender roles: a daunting and difficult task, which can at best reach a conclusion of uncertainty, but very worthwhile. The best articles question how we ascribe gender on the basis of skeletons, grave goods and other evidence. Destabilising stereotypical assumptions and perceived uniformity is, in its way, the most important thing. I'm also slowly reading Cordelia Fine's Delusions of Gender: The Real Science Behind Sex Differences, which looks at contemporary ideas of sex and gender and deconstructs a lot of bullshit. On the fiction side, I'm reading Jonathan Strahan's The Best Science Fiction & Fantasy of the Year: Volume Eight (short stories!) and Iain M. Banks' Surface Detail (space!).

Home News New Zealand All Blacks Danced The 'Haka'
New Zealand All Blacks Danced The 'Haka'
After winning the World Cup last October, the Rugby Team of New Zealand performed the 'haka' in London after they defeated Australia. Haka is a war dance that is part of the New Zealand's tradition. It is performed originally to proclaim the Maori people's power to defeat the enemies before the battle.
The video of the dance which was posted on Youtube reached more than 2 million hits. The Sydney Morning Herald wrote: "On an occasion such as this, with the All Blacks becoming the first team to win back-to-back World Cups, one Haka was never going to be enough. After going with their 'Kapa O Panga' Haka before their 34-17 win over the Wallabies at Twickenham, New Zealand celebrated in style with a traditional 'Ka Mate' Haka after claiming the William Webb Ellis Cup. The silverware was laid out on the ground in front as the All Blacks paid tribute to their fans as well as six of their departing players, including inspirational captain Richie McCaw and five-eighth Dan Carter, whose brilliant boot helped them to victory. It was an emotional moment after the All Blacks cemented their place as the best team in rugby and one of the greatest in world sport."
Meanwhile, Public Radio International (PRI) added: "The haka is generally thought of as way to spook and intimidate opponents, and New Zealand did triumph 34-17 over Australia. But
the haka most commonly performed by the All Blacks, the Ka Mate, has an entirely different meaning if you consider the lyrics. The song was composed by Te Rauparaha, war leader of the Ngāti Toa tribe, after he hid in a food storage pit to hide from his enemies.
"That certain haka is actually about being victories because the person who composed it, he was actually being hunted at the time by a rival tribe. That haka was actually a haka of celebration that he was still alive," says Paraone Gloyne, a well-known haka dance performer, teacher and composer.
Also described as an ancestral war cry, or a "challenge," haka has its own vocabulary and traditions."
The hakas performed by the New Zealand All Blacks can be viewed below:

Rockfeller JV buys DC office in estimated $200m deal
The New York-based firm partnered with parent and developer Mitsubishi Estate to acquire 1101 K Street NW from JBG and Rockwood. Mitsubishi also reportedly acquired two offices and a hotel in Tokyo from Lone Star.
The Rockefeller Group has acquired a 290,000-square-foot Washington DC office for a rumoured $200 million from The JBG Companies and Rockwood Group.
Rockefeller partnered with the New York investment arm of its parent company Mitsubishi Estates to close the deal for 1101 K Street NW, the firms said in a statement. Financial details were not disclosed, but data tracker Real Capital Analytics said the rumoured price was $200 million. JBG and Rockwood acquired the development site at K Street in 2004 for an estimated $22.3 million, and in March 2009 refinanced the first mortgage replacing the construction loan with a $100.5 million mortgage from Helaba.
The deal is Rockefeller's first transaction from its Washington DC office, which opened in November 2010. Paul McDermott, head of acquisitions and in charge of the deal, said it was an "auspicious beginning for our office". The 10-storey K Street property is currently 80 percent leased. Rockefeller and Mitsubishi said they were both targeting high quality properties in key markets "with long-term sustainable value".
Mitsubishi Estate has also acquired two office buildings and a hotel in central Tokyo from Lone Star, according to Reuters and first reported by Nikkei. The 18-storey west wing and 24-storey east wing of the Kokusai-Shin Akasaka complex and an adjacent hotel were reportedly purchased for an estimated ¥90 billion (€783 million; $1.1 billion).

On what seemed to be the last sunny day of the year here in the Pacific Northwest, ETC took to the mountains and paddled a gorgeous stretch of the Skagit River - from Marblemount to Rockport. This stretch of river is well known in the area for it's high concentration of wintering bald eagles and plentiful salmon & trout. Beautiful Fall colors, mountain vistas, clear greenish/blue water, and abundant wildlife makes for quite an adventure - it all starts by taking two cars up SR 20 (the North Cascades highway) toward the Ross Lake National Recreation Area.
Leaving the smaller car downstream in the free parking area at Howard Miller Steelhead Park in Rockport WA (map above) lets you pack your people & gear in the larger one and travel upstream to the put-in at Marblemount (link to Marblemount map/info). There's a few historical landmarks at Steelhead Park to check out (pic below), along with a quaint riverside RV park and some small rentable cabins.
Taking the other car to the put-in at Marblemount is a breeze. The road follows the river and you're there in minutes. The launch site is just off SR 20 in Marblemount - veer onto Cascade River Road to cross the river. Look for the boat launch sign pictured below. Don't worry about parking, there is lots of it and even some national forest-type bathrooms for any pre-departure needs.
We were able to pack all of our people & gear into the second car because of these little babies. We paddled Innova inflatable kayaks - a Helios II & the new Swing I & Swing II. The covered decks of the Swings worked great for this trip - this part of the Skagit is class 1+/ 2 ish - a.k.a. an occasional splash of icy-cold water comes into the boat. The whitewater that came into my Helios got me wet and I had to pump out occasionally to avoid an icy cold seat all day. The Swings? Well, the water just runs right off of the covered decks. Overall, all of the boats performed great and even though it was shallow a lot of the way, I still advise using a optional skeg or rudder to help with tracking if you've got one. The Helios II had the leg up here because the optional Helios rudder is on a hinge and comes up out of the water when the going gets shallow & rocky.
Paddling the river in kayaks this time of year (early October), requires a little strategy. The river, like many across the country, seemed lower than usual. A dry summer (our summers are usually fairly dry, but we really had a dry one this year) means there are quite a few shallow spots you'll have to navigate. Also, the occasional whitewater makes this trip splashy enough to be fun and keep you on your toes, but not crazy enough to cause my wife and I to yell at each other around every bend:) We are still pretty new to river paddling and are more used to slow moving, tidal-wind-& wave influenced saltwater trips in the nearby Puget Sound. After the first whitewater early on this paddle (that sound of loud rushing water in the distance!) we wondered if it was gonna be the smallest on the trip or the biggest…gulp…it turns out it was the biggest, so the rest of the day was pretty much smooth paddling with still fun, but smaller whitewater portions.
As you cruise down the river from Marblemount you'll start to notice the beautiful mountain views behind you - you are on the aquatic version of the North Cascades Highway after all!
I couldn't help but go a little Ansel Adams on the whole situation.
Another nice thing about this paddle is you put in at one bridge and you take out at the next one...or just yards past the next one anyway. You may see some tour rafts just under the bridge at Rockport like we did - but just keep paddling about 100 yards more for the official launch/take-out site. We completed the trip, with a decent lunch break, in about 3 hours and 15 minutes. As I've tried to show with my photos - it's a gorgeous paddle with lots to see. Check the links below for more info, especially if you plan to go during the winter eagle season - there are a few restrictions. Want a little longer of a paddle? Try putting in a little more up river across from Copper Creek. Don't have two cars? Contact one of the raft tours to give you a lift! Be safe & have fun!
On a recent trip to the Up & Over we hit the jackpot. A quaint little town with art galleries, a great bar with live music on the weekends (the Edison), a nice little bakery (Breadfarm), an awesome breakfast spot (Tweets), a treasure-filled antique/vintage/salvage shop (The Lucky Dumpster), an Italian-like wine & cheese place (Slough Food), and a farm-fresh sandwich/espresso shop (Farm to Market Bakery).
Water access in town via the Edison Slough to nearby Samish Bay sealed a future deal for us - we'll be back soon to kayak to and from this undiscovered Northwest adventure town.
A 1.5 hour drive north from Seattle brings you up & over to Edison. It sits just off the scenic Chuckanut Drive (dear non-Northwest folk - yep, it's called Chuckanut) and is set up near the Puget Sound in the sunny, farm-filled Skagit Valley. Follow the Edison Slough, a shallow waterway right in town behind all of these businesses, and you'll shoot out into Samish Bay.
When we arrived in town on a weekday in the summer the streets were quiet. Coming from the city, this was a change we welcomed. We were looking for a bite so we stopped by the Farm to Market Bakery. We got there just in time - after we showed up a group of cyclists pulled in for lunch. With the less-traveled, flat, scenic roads out here it's no wonder cyclists are all over it. Keep heading north from here on Chuckanut and you've got views of the San Juans, forest trails, oyster farms, historic inns, and even some state park land, all the way to Bellingham.
As we walked around the place after lunch we found a cool little wood shop to explore, several galleries, and the Lucky Dumpster vintage store.
Pictured below is your ticket to and from town to the sea…the Edison Slough. Just make sure you wait for high tide. Our plan for next time? Stay at a rental on nearby Samish Island and paddle over to Edison for the day. We'll sweet talk the friendly folks at Slough Food to leave our kayaks near their quaint little outdoor slough dining area, then hit the town. We'll do it soon since this undiscovered adventure town won't be undiscovered for long…the word is officially out…first one to open a B&B in Edison wins!!!
There are few things in the summer more Seattle than Green Lake. Sitting right in the middle of Seattle's northern neighborhoods, Green Lake is the place to be when, or if, the sun finally decides to come out. Walk your dog, walk yourself, grab a coffee, play soccer, football, basketball, wade in a pool with preschoolers, paddle, sail, SUP, row, jog, tan, tightrope walk (seriously). Activities here are endless.
As a kayaker, Green Lake is a great place for a quick launch with parking close by. I put in at the Small Craft Center on the south side of the lake. Look for the bleachers with the big G written on them. From there I usually circumnavigate the lake from the inside, paddling around near the shore until I'm back where I started.
Throughout the summer the lake hosts a decent amount of lily pads, usually towards the south side (P.S. the flowers smell like Thai coconut). Watch out for the occasional nesting bird on top of them though, and don't swim too close - a complex web of pads and milfoil (invasive water weed) are just below the surface.
…and there's quite a few beaches.
...and there are lots of restaurants close by.
So, if you can't tell from the pics, Green Lake is the place to paddle, walk, play, tan, basically, the place to be, especially when it's sunny in Seattle. Check out the Friends of Green Lake site for updated info on the lake - like when they close it to certain activities due to poor water quality, or when you might be able to join a volunteer milfoil weevil hunt!

A police officer sacked for drink-driving was fleeing an abuser, it has been revealed.
Pc Zoe Cullen was dismissed without notice for 'gross misconduct'.
The 45-year-old, who was a Hanley police officer, was disqualified from driving on August 9 last year at Derby Magistrates' Court.
Cullen was convicted after pleading guilty to driving a motor vehicle above the prescribed alcohol limit.
But now Staffordshire's top police officer has been criticised in an official report for 'unreasonably' sacking her.
Chief constable Gareth Morgan dismissed Cullen, who was suspended from duty while misconduct proceedings took place.
But last month, PC Cullen's appeal against the decision was upheld and she was reinstated after a tribunal found she should have been given a final written warning instead, reports StokeonTrentLive .
At the time of the offence on January 6 last year, she was off-duty and had been fleeing an abusive partner.
"She had not been facing immediate danger, she fled while he was asleep, and she was awareher colleagues had attempted to contact her.
Mr Banham, representing Pc Cullen, told the hearing: "Right-minded members of the public, with full knowledge of her case, would consider that dismissal of the appellant was neither fair nor proportionate.
"Mr Banham said the chief constable was wrong to conclude this was not a mistake in isolation, albeit a serious mistake, made when her mental well-being was affected because she was fleeing an abuser, in fear of her personal safety."
Finding in favour of Pc Cullen, Sara Fenoughty, chair of the Police Appeals Tribunal, said: "The tribunal accepted the appellant's actions had been spontaneous. It took into account that she had just woken up, her assailant was asleep, she was not in immediate danger, she had been drinking significant amounts of alcohol, and as a police officer, would have a heightened awareness of the consequences of drink-driving.


Libby Parsons is arrested for the murder of her husband. While in prison, she finds out that she's been framed. Now, the law of "double jeopardy" -- and the desire to kill her "late" husband for good -- is all she has left.
