Angel, Dazzler, Colossus, and Nightcrawler fly to Krakoa to rescue Arthur Centino from his reality-show hunt. Meanwhile, Mojo Adams sends out his newest hunter, Arcade. When Colossus's team arrives on the island, the three of them begin to take out the cameras, while Angel remains on the jet. They run into Arcade and a fight begins. Nightcrawler is stabbed, but Arthur arrives and saves the day. Marvel Girl, Cyclops, Iceman, and Shadowcat arrive in Genosha and begin to search for clues as to who framed Centino for killing Lord Scheele. Scott's team is investigating the site where Arthur supposedly assassinated Lord Scheele, when a six-armed woman ambushes them with various martial arts weapons.
Full Summary:
Dazzler, Angel, Nightcrawler, and Colossus are flying in the X-Wing, barely above the ocean. Angel is flying the plane, Dazzler is riding shotgun, and Nightcrawler and Colossus are behind them in the back seats. Dazzler tells Angel to pull up, calling him birdbrain. They're not in a freakin submarine. Angel tells Dazzler he's sorry, but he's only flown the X-Wing simulator before this. Dazzler exclaims in disbelief that the kid with wings doesn't know how to fly? Angel tells her it wasn't his idea and he doesn't even want to be here. He tells her they're probably going to get expelled when Professor Xavier finds out they stole the jet.
Nightcrawler asks him what choice did they have but save the fellow mutant from being slaughtered for the entertainment of others. Colossus chimes in that perhaps Xavier, the most powerful telepath on the planet, planted the idea for this rescue mission in their minds. For all they know, they're doing exactly what he wants. Mein Gott, responds Nightcrawler, what if Peter is correct? What if even their conversation was predestined? What if they have no free will… but are merely Herr Professor's pawns?
Angel responds to Kurt, that's the weakest rationalization he's ever heard. If the Professor really wanted them to help this guy escape Krakoa, why wouldn't he have just told them to? Plausible deniability, Colossus responds. If they're captured, Xavier will be able to claim that he never told anyone to break a prisoner out of a sovereign nation. He'll just say that is was the work of a few of his "disobedient students."
Dazzler, referring to Colossus as Studly, remarks if they're captured they're probably going to be the next people to die in this Battle Royale knockoff. Exactly, Warren replies, they should have at least waited for Cyclops and his team to get back from their mission. They don't even know if the mutant they're risking their lives to save is innocent. Nightcrawler replies, perhaps, mein Freund, but who among us truly is?
Inside Mojo Adams' estate, he begins to introduce the audience to another episode of Hunt for Justice! He introduces himself as well as the newest hunter brave enough to take on the condemned animal who still runs free somewhere on his treacherous isle. He's shows the audience the young man known to gaming fanatics around the world as Arcade! A large red-haired, muscle-bound man stands in front of him. He has many guns, armor, and other gadgets on his person.
Mojo continues to introduce Arcade: He's a prodigy who came all the way from his empire in Redwood Shores, California. At the tender age of thirteen he designed Murderworld, the original "first-person shooter," making him an instant millionaire.
Arcade asks Mojo how long he's gonna take. Mojo continues to elaborate on Arcade's accomplishments: he's tried to find a more immersive gaming experience, and has watched countless hours of raw footage of Arthur, hoping to devise a unique strategy that will--
Arcade cuts Mojo off, telling him to skip the cut scenes and get to the action. Mojo suggests that they should actually take it from the top, as Arcade's dialogue is coming of as rather one-dimensional, and he'd like to see something with a bit more sincerity. Arcade points his gun at Mojo's head, sarcastically asking him if he wants sincerity.
Major Domo, operating the camera, begins to yell for the guards. Mojo tells him no and to keep rolling. Arcade explains that he's there because his sister was killed when Magneto blew up the Brooklyn Bridge. With him locked away for life, wasting Arthur is the closest Arcade's is going to get to tasting justice. Mojo thanks Arcade, as his speech was exactly what the audience needed to hear. Arcade brushes it aside, commanding Mojo to tell his goons to stay out of his way. From here on in Mojo's island is his free-fire zone.
Arcade walks off and Major Domo comes up to Mojo, telling him it was an excellent segment. Domo asks a noticeably unnerved Mojo if he honestly believes the heavily armed psychopath is going to have any trouble taking out their "Longshot" as he is famished and exhausted. Mojo assures Domo that Arcade will succeed, but a part of him is just going to miss Mr. Centino, the best player ever to set foot on Krakoa. Domo assures Mojo, that there will be others. Mojo isn't convinced, as Genosha has exiled most of its mutants, and the remaining few are hiding. What happens when their neighbor runs out of potential contestants for them to use? Domo tells him that there are mutants rotting in jail cells all across the globe. Perhaps its time they take their "talent search" worldwide.
At the Genoshan airport, Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, and Shadowcat are walking towards the exit. All the televisions there have Arthur on them. Cyclops states that it makes him sick how the country is glued to that show. He wonders how people can be amused by unspeakable acts of horror. It's like Roman gladiators. Or American Idol, Kitty replies.
Bobby wonders if Scott can really blame them. Arthur killed one of their favorite leaders. Their parents all tuned in to watch Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Osborn. Kitty corrects him, as it was Lee Harvey Oswald. And also, they don't know that Arthur Centino killed Lord Scheele. Kitty continues that you can't trust the same cops who helped round up an entire group of people for deportation. Just ask her grandparents, she says as she holds her Jewish Star of David necklace.
Bobby gets defensive and tells her to get off his case. Its bad enough he has to take orders from "Captain Ray-Ban", he doesn't need her in his grill too. Kitty mockingly says "In my grill, huh?" and tells him that's pretty cool, calling him Vanilla Ice. Bobby loses it. He tells her if she wants to see cool, just keep talking trash, "sister". Kitty replies if she were his sister, she'd phase his head into a brick wall. Bobby states it's because that would mean she's in love with her own brother. Kitty begins to say, he wishes, calling him a scrawny--
Jean cuts them off telepathically. She looks quite angry. She tells them to knock it off! She wishes the two of them would just hook up already and get it over with! They're supposed to be gifted exchange students, not a bunch of freshmen brats on spring break. She then tells them to pipe down before they blow their cover. All of them are unaware they are being watched by a white-haired woman in a trench coat.
Back in Krakoa, Colossus, Nightcrawler and Dazzler are stumbling off the X-Wing. Dazzler states she can't believe that thing's not equipped with barf bags. Angel begins to state any landing you can walk away from…
Colossus takes charge. He tells them they should move out. Their first priority should be making sure their faces aren't broadcast all over the world. Nightcrawler suggests Angel could make a few passes overhead and attempt to locate the--
Warren interrupts. If its all right with them, he's gonna just wait on the plane. Dazzler tells him he can't wuss out on them now, calling him Winger. He just has a bad feeling about this place. Nightcrawler tells him it's just like their Bluetail program from the Danger Room. Colossus interjects. No, it isn't. There are no failsafes out there so he's not going to force anyone to come along. They'll have to manage as a trio. Allison asks if Pete isn't hot when he plays front man. Kurt retorts she is not well. Colossus tells Warren if they're not back in an hour, take the plane back to Xavier's. Warren wonders what to do after that. Colossus says that he doesn't know about the other two, but he'd like to be buried next to Hank.
Centino is standing at the edge of a cliff. At the same moment, Mojo is watching the same image on his TV screen. He asks Major Domo what their star is doing now. He can't fly he coop, can he? Domo replies he cannot. Arthur has hollow bones, but their records say he's not a flier. He's agile, but also delicate. If he tries to jump, he'll…Oh no. Domo wonders if Centino has realized he cannot beat them. Perhaps he has decided to forfeit. He worries though, because if he commits suicide, he'll destroy their finale.
Mojo starts screaming. He tells Domo to forget the stupid game and give Arcade the mutant's coordinates. He has to kill him before he kills himself.
Suddenly the screen turns into static. Mojo, still frantic asks if this is a joke, and orders them to give him picture, dammit. Domo isn't sure what has happened. He tells Mojo the remote cameras have stopped transmitting. Mojo calls the control room asking where the hell his feed is. They report that they're sorry, but there seems to have been an accident at the main relay station on the east shore.
Arcade is running through the jungle. Mojo, speaking on his earpiece, asks him what's going on out there. Arcade says Mojo should tell him. He lost that sorry excuse for a camera crew ten klicks back. Mojo tells him they've dropped video for the entire island. Arcade says he anticipated something like this. The prisoner is clearly done playing defense. He's decided to attack where he knows it'll hurt most…Mojo's ratings. Mojo says he can't afford this. He's sending a shock team to back him up. Arcade tells him not to bother, as he's run a hundred simulations for a scenario, just like this. The animal is good but he's also…predictable? Arcade comes upon the relay station, completely blown apart by Dazzler, Nightcrawler, and Colossus.
Arcade asks who they are. Dazzler responds by asking who the #&*^ he is. Arcade tells Mojo he's clever. He's thrown a few extra muties into the mix to keep things interesting, huh? Arcade states they're all the same to him, and starts shooting wildly.
Colossus intercepts the bullets, Nightcrawler teleports, and Dazzler runs. Colossus tells them to take cover; he'll handle this one. He picks up Arcade. He asks him if they aren't the defenseless prey he were expecting, eh? Arcade asks him if his ear canals are metal too. He fires a high-pitched frequency from a device in his hand. Colossus falls to his knees, covering his ears. Arcade assumes he must get crazy reverb in there.
Dazzler tells him to keep turning it up to eleven, calling him Geek Squad. The louder he whines, the harder she brings it on. She starts to spark and launches one giant bolt of color at Arcade. Arcade is knocked against a tree. He asks her if she's that chick from Dazzler. He says her sophomore album stunk, and shoots some webbing from a wrist cartridge at Dazzler's mouth.
He tells her one of his programmers reverse engineered the webbing from some polymer he scraped off a wall in Manhattan last—Nightcrawler teleports in front of him and punches him in the face. He teleports away. Arcade frantically looks around. Nightcrawler appears again and kicks Arcade in the stomach. Arcade observes that he's a teleporter. He got bored with that gimmick circa Asteroids. If he were a novice, like Nightcrawler, he'd probably jump right…there. Nightcrawler appears behind him, only to get stabbed in the stomach. Arcade holds onto the knife sticking out of Nightcrawler. He tells him all he has to do is flick his wrist, and he will open him up like a—
Arthur stands on a branch above Arcade and orders him to let Nightcrawler go. He's the one he wants. Arcade replies that's true enough. Arcade begins to fire at him. Arthur starts leaping through the trees, landing right in front of Arcade. He tells him he's begging him not to pull that trigger. Arcade tells him this is for his sister, calling him a murdering a piece of—Arcade's gun backfires in his hand, exploding in his face.
Arcade lies on the ground unconscious. Arthur helps Nightcrawler to his feet telling him to try not to move. Nightcrawler says it's impossible. How did Arthur know Arcade's gun would backfire? Arthur tells Kurt its sort of his thing. He doesn't know how, but her can alter the probabilities of certain situations to work out in his favor. Basically he's really, really lucky. Dazzler, mouth still webbed up, mumbles an Mm mmm mmf? Peter asks if he's so lucky, what is he doing there? His right eye glowing, Arthur replies he was waiting for something like them to fall out of the sky.
Back in Genosha, Jean, Scott, Bobby, and Kitty are continuing their investigation. Jean asks Scott if he's sure this is it. She's not picking up any psychic residue of a struggle there. Scott tells her that's where the Genoshian authorities claim they found Lord Schleele's body, along with the mutant who supposedly knifed him to death. Bobby doesn't understand how Scott can say "supposedly". He asks him if he didn't read the report. The killer was found with the murder weapon in his three-fingered hand. He assassinated somebody's husband...somebody's father. Scott replies that if Bobby had studied the report instead of just skimming it, he would have noticed the lack of blood in the crime-scene photos. Scott continues to say that he believes Scheele was killed somewhere else, and then brought there…along with the mutant the real killers found to be their fall guy.
Kitty asks him what they do now, calling him Sherlock. Scott tells her to dive under the topsoil and see what she can find. He tells her to look for any foreign objects the police might have missed…or failed to cover up. Scott then tells Bobby, he's to refrigerate anything Kitty finds. They'll be able to preserve any latent prints longer at lower temperatures. Bobby replies that he's a glorified cooler.
Jean begins to question, if this politician was so beloved by these people, who would have a motive for killing him except the mutants his government was against? Scott tells her Scheele didn't really become popular with humans until he was "martyred". The Professor told him Scheele was one of the few public leaders to oppose the "relocation" of Genosha's mutant population. Scott tells her that he thinks his murder might have been punishment for-- Jean cuts him off. She tells him it feels like there's someone else there. Suddenly Jean is knocked unconscious from behind. Her assailant is the white-haired woman in the trench coat. Scott grabs the rims of his ruby quartz glasses and tells the woman to give him one good reason why he shouldn't blow her head off. The woman replies that she'll actually give him six.
The woman drops her coat, revealing her six arms, each holding a different martial arts weapon, including an ax, nun-chucks, two swords, throwing stars, and a riot baton.

Designing the first six Blade of the Immortal omnibus volumes was a full circle moment for me. Blade of the Immortal was not only the first manga I read, but it was also the first Dark Horse publication I ever bought. I love Hiroaki Samura's art, so I really wanted to showcase his work, and keep the rest of the design clean.

Darkness Visible
Imprint: Vintage Classics
Dimensions: 198mm x 6mm x 129mm
This is a story of depression a condition that reduced William Styron from a person enjoying life and success as an acclaimed writer, to a man engulfed and menaced by mental anguish. With profound insight and remarkable candor, Styron tracks the progress of his madness, from the smothering misery and exhaustion, to the agony of composing his own suicide note and his eventual, hard-won recovery. Illuminating an illness that affects millions but which remains widely misunderstood, this book is about the darkness of depression, but it is also ultimately about survival and redemption.
Hair-raising in the manner of A Tale of Horror by Edgar Allan Poe
As short as a hangman's rope and nearly as arresting - an essay of great gravity and resonance. Never has Styron used so few words so effectively
This Quiet Dust
The Long March
The Suicide Run
The Confessions of Nat Turner
A Tidewater Morning
Set This House On Fire
Lie Down In Darkness
William Styron (1925-2006), a native of the Tidewater region of Virginia, was a graduate of Duke University and a veteran of the Marine Corps. His books include Lie Down in Darkness, The Long March, Set This House on Fire, The Confessions of Nat Turner, Sophie's Choice, This Quiet Dust, Darkness Visible and A Tidewater Morning. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, the Howells Medal, the American Book Award and the Legion d'Honneur. With his wife, the poet and activist Rose Styron, he lived for most of his adult life in Roxbury, Connecticut, and in Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts.

Tucked in, ready for bed!
Cooling Fan for the Centre Section?
Nope. I'll give you a clue, there are only 3 of these in the UK.
Correct! It's odd because you can't look directly into it and when opened up it gives off a gold glow, just like the briefcase in pulp fiction!
Oh and a private tour when we are open???
I guess you have to wear a veil when you enter its presence.
Wow! Do you have a plan to use the Bricastis to do surround? If so, what's the routing going to look like? I'm definitely going to pick up some more M7s, but kinda stumped on whether to just treat them as more stereo or something more.
Also, let me guess: three M6000 mainframes so you can have one for music, one for dialog, and one for efx.
Well we actually have 4 M6000's with another on the way making 5 in total their all loaded with 5.1 reverbs and the analogue ins and outs- Geoff Foster who will be piloting our place is known to use many of these box's on certain projects - the last studio I operated had 2 of these box's and so have just added from there - yes they could be used as you suggest Mike - I'm a guitar player and have always loved "grease" on my sound - live I had back in the day a huge system - 2 wet Bogner 4x12's 1 dry 4x12 running into a large separate mix system- :-) :-) -plenty of eventides and all sorts of crap in the racks !!!
This looks like the panel in the cockpit of an Airbus plane !
AN Airplane is not that complicated!
Friggin surround stems head-scratching! Have fun!
What is the function of a stem maker? I visited AMS NEVE but that module is not described. And Google has no knowledge either.... A mystery box... Ah it's a Mr Spock box to beam Santa Claus to the UK?!!

Q: How can I optimize all of these pipes? get-command | where-object { $_.commandtype -eq "cmdlet" } | sort-object -property name | select-object -property name | where-object { $_.name -match "^get" } | out-file "getcommands.txt"

$content = get-content "getcommands.txt"

$content | Foreach-Object { $_.TrimEnd() } | where { $_ -match "\w" } | Out-File "getcommands.txt" -encoding Ascii

compare-object -referenceobject $(Get-Content "oldcommands.txt") -differenceobject $(Get-Content "getcommands.txt") -includeequal

This code retrieves all of the cmdlets which begin with "get" and compares them to a list in a text file.  It also removes excess returns and whitespace so compare actually works.
Everything works but it is pretty hard to read.  I'm just learning how to write PowerShell scripts so I'm not sure how to accomplish the same task with more elegant code.
I'm betting there is a way to do this without all the pipes.  I also wasn't able to get the output from the first line of code to output to a text file without a whole bunch of extra spaces and returns.

A: I think this do the same:
get-command -CommandType "cmdlet" -name get*  | SELECT -expand name |
out-file "getcommands.txt" -encoding Ascii

compare-object -referenceobject (Get-Content "oldcommands.txt") -differenceobject (Get-Content "getcommands.txt") -includeequal

A: If you've got V3, this seems just a bit quicker:
(get-command -CommandType "cmdlet" -name get*).name |
set-content getcommands.txt

A: Filter the list of cmdlets at the source with -verb. Best practice is to filter as much as you can on the left side of the pipeline (closest to the source of the data)
get-command -verb get |where-object{$_.CommandType -eq "Cmdlet"}|select-object -expandpropertyproperty name|out-file getcommands.txt -encoding ascii
compare-object -referenceobject $(Get-Content "oldcommands.txt") -differenceobject $(Get-Content "getcommands.txt") -includeequal

There should be a way to eliminate the Where-Object as well with the -CommandType parameter for get-command but I cannot get it working here. I expect one of the following to work, but neither does:
get-command -verb get -CommandType Cmdlet
get-command -verb get -CommandType [system.management.automation.commandtypes]::Cmdlet

The practice consists of three fully-equipped surgeries, a sterlisation room, lab, reception and waiting area. The premises is a commercial suite within the retail heart of the suburb. The practice is close to a medical centre, pharmacy and many other retailers and businesses, and adjoins the large Westfield shopping centre. The centre contains over 330 stores, bringing in customers from the surrounding suburbs and areas, increasing the exposure of the practice and cross-pollination opportunities. Two-hour free parking is available in a council car park, whilst trains and buses regularly service the area.
Hornsby is a northern suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, 25 kilometres north-west of the Sydney CBD. Hornsby remains a busy commercial centre, just as it was a century ago. The western side consists of a traditional high street shopping village along the Old Pacific Highway. On the eastern side of the highway from south to north are the police station, the court house and the historic Hornsby Shire Council chamber. On the western side is Hornsby Park with the new Hornsby Aquatic Centre complex and Hornsby TAFE. The eastern side is dominated by Westfield Hornsby, a shopping Centre, which features two department stores (Myer & David Jones), an Event Cinemas multiplex, 335 stores, a food court and several restaurants. The intersection of Florence Street and Hunter Street became a pedestrian mall in the early 1990s. At the centre of the pedestrian mall is a large water clock sculpture. The public library is also located in this area. Hornsby railway station is the junction of the North Shore and Northern & Western Lines of the Sydney Trains network. There are frequent railway services to the CBD. Intercity and Express trains also stop here on the way to the Central Coast and further north.

Digital channels have without a doubt re-shaped the banking world—and they're not only rapidly developing but often intertwining as well. A recent Federal Reserve report found that 53 percent of smartphone owners with a bank account had used mobile banking in the past 12 months, and Accenture's 2015 North America Consumer Banking Survey reports that consumers think online and mobile channels are the most important tools in which banks should invest.
But while the growth of online and mobile banking does not appear to be slowing down, pouring investments entirely into digital channels is a mistake. It boils down to a question of which tools will move banks ahead: That is, where is the money best spent?
The answer begins with the customer. As consumers increasingly rely on online and mobile banking channels, their standard for in-branch banking is changing. A bank might offer the most high-tech app out there. But if the technology within its physical branches does not match this level of sophistication, its customers' in-person experiences will surely disappoint. Since consumers today might visit a branch less frequently, when they do bank in person, it's critical to provide a pleasant, convenient experience.
Digital solutions shouldn't just refer to remote, online or mobile transactions. While allowing customers to sign documents electronically from their home or office provides the utmost convenience, implementing eSignature solutions within the branch also creates a more dynamic experience. More banks wisely use tablets in branches for customers to complete and sign a wide array of documents that run the gamut from simple account openings, to change of address forms, to loan documents. With eSignature technology, banks can hand customers a tool they're comfortable with – a tablet – rather than paperwork to fill out in the lobby. Not only will the customer enjoy a more expedient experience, but the bank can also drastically reduce the costs and time associated with paper documents.
Consumers are accustomed to the question, "Do you prefer a printed or email receipt?" Retail stores, doctors' offices and even restaurants give customers this option – and now, customers expect this from their banks. Consider as well how many times you've requested a copy of a receipt before losing it or dropping it in a parking lot. And beyond convenience, emailing bank receipts to customers also bolsters security. Banks can better protect an individual's sensitive financial information using electronic receipts.
Let's look at cash-back transactions as one example. Banks can combine electronic receipt technology and eSignatures, meaning tellers no longer have to waste time scanning and processing receipts to track customer transactions; documents are automatically stored the instant the transaction takes place.
Effective in 2004, Check 21 (short for the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act ) is certainly not new. However, many banks have thus far failed to take full advantage of more recent Check 21 trends that include teller level capture. By truncating checks immediately at the teller line, employees can remain in a balanced state throughout the business day and spend less time at end-of-day closing. Using teller-based capture this way also affords an elevated level of fraud protection – something every bank is mindful of today. By eliminating the risk associated with deposited items, banks also provide enhanced availability of deposited funds to their valued customers.
While banks increasingly embrace electronic workflows to manage and streamline internal processes, it is important to weigh how this technology applies enterprise-wide. Electronic workflow allows banks to automate functions in accordance with regulatory guidelines and internal governance standards. Additionally, employees need not memorize the next steps for every process. Rather, workflow technology ensures that each step happens in the correct prescribed order and that required fields and signatures are not missed. Compare that to traditional, paper-based processes, which are of course prone to human error.
Automated workflows limit that susceptibility to common mistakes that create process delays. For instance, with electronic documents and workflows, employees no longer have to manually choose which step or task to perform next. The business rules defined within the workflow system push the transaction automatically to the next step and assign it to the correct person. As an added benefit of workflow technology, new employees require less training and can focus on their customer service goals.
Various organizations have now introduced innovative options for in-person banking that might not involve actual people. They're referred to as "interactive teller machines," "personal teller machines," or "virtual teller kiosks," and many banks are exploring investments in these technologies that combine the in-branch and digital experiences. A consumer can complete a transaction in a self-service fashion quickly, but has easy access to a bank representative if needed. Automated tellers are incorporating several other in-branch innovations, including eSignature, electronic receipt and workflow technologies, enabling a fully electronic transaction process to occur from these innovative devices. Because this technology is inherently similar to the ATM – a tool customers use with ease – adoption of this technology in branch is an optimal way to make small tasks that once required a teller's interaction more convenient for customers. In addition, allowing customers to complete self-service tasks at an automated teller in the branch allows branch staff to spend more time focusing on relationship building and new business development.
Some might argue that there may come a day in which the branch will no longer be relevant. We are certainly not there yet, and won't be any time soon. Whether customers choose to visit the local branch for a simple task such as depositing checks or for something more complex, such as to receive financial guidance and services to open a new small business, they expect a modern, friendly and convenient experience. By enhancing the technological tools with which customers interact inside a branch, banks can become one step closer to creating a seamless, omnichannel experience that maximizes efficiency and satisfaction for every customer.

UCSB Pulls Away from Cal State Northridge with a Strong Second Half
Gauchos Are 15-3 Overall This Season

Ajay Mitchell and Miles Norris combined for 35 points as the UCSB men's basketball team pulled away in the second half for a 72-52 victory over Cal State Northridge on Thursday night at the Thunderdome.
The Gauchos were able to build on the momentum gained with their impressive 73-65 victory at UC Irvine on Monday against the last-place Matadors.
"Coming off an emotional victory on Monday night, I was really disappointed in our effort in the first half. We didn't have the energy, the fire in our bellies, the urgency that you have to have to compete for a championship," said UCSB coach Joe Pasternack. "I thought in the second half we did a much better job."
The Gauchos used a 21-4 run to turn a 39-38 lead with just over 13 minutes remaining in the second half to a 60-42 lead after a Norris dunk with 6:38 to play.
Cole Anderson made two of his three three-pointers during that decisive stretch and finished with 11 points.
"I thought our whole team found Cole Anderson. You've got to find him in transition," Pasternack said. "Eighteen assists, man, that's great. Our two point guards Ajay and Calvin [Wishart] had 12 assists and three turnovers."
UCSB shot 55 percent for the game, and sharing the ball was key. Mitchell finished with a game-high six assists.
"I'm just playing my game. Coach trusts me," Mitchell said. "I try to find the open man like Miles, Ajare [Sanni], and Cole and just play my game."
UCSB (15-3 overall, 6-1 Big West) will stay home for a matchup against Cal State Bakersfield on Saturday beginning at 7 p.m.
"We've just got to treat every game the same whether we are playing UC Irvine or Cal State Northridge," said Norris, who contributed four blocks to spearhead a magnificent defensive effort by UCSB, especially in the second half. "Like the coach said, a win is a win."

It is known that high levels of LDL-C, known as bad cholesterol, can lead to serious cardiovascular problems in older people. According to a new study, young, healthy people should be equally careful with their cholesterol levels. Experts say the study provides insights on the risk factors that can lead to cardiovascular issues later in life.


On Tuesday, I ranted about the woman who is suing Google for giving "unsafe directions" after she was hit by a car when walking down a street in Utah. A coworker described it as "the definition of frivolity," and I certainly agree. But it's not the only definition of frivolity. The New York Times reports that Congress is contemplating a law that would discourage businesses from filing another type of nuisance suit: a strategic lawsuit against public participation, or SLAPP.
Typically, SLAPP suits are filed by businesses that have suffered due to customer complaints in online forums or on social networks. Even if the complaints are grounded in fact, the businesses claim defamation and request damages, but they don't really expect to prevail. What they really want is to discourage those who have been complaining about their services or products from continuing to do so.
As an example, New York Times writer Dan Frosch points to a case a towing company filed against a Michigan college student after he started a Facebook campaign against the company. He said the company had towed his car from his apartment complex parking lot en though he had a valid permit to park there. And he wasn't the only one with complaints, apparently, because the Facebook group he created quickly garnered 800 members.
Though many states have laws against SLAPP suits, there is no federal law preventing them. But if Reps. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., and Charlie Gonzales, D-Texas, have their way, that will change soon. They have proposed a federal statute "modeled primarily on California's SLAPP law," the story says. The bill would allow a defendant who believes he is being sued for speaking out online to move for the case to be dismissed. If the case is ultimately dismissed, the business that filed the suit will be required to pay the defendant's legal fees and court costs.
It's another cautionary tale that should play a part in every company's strategic planning and risk management policy creation. If you're going to file a suit like this one against someone who has made complaints online, make sure your suit is a legitimate one that would not be classified as a SLAPP. Otherwise, the bad publicity and additional cost will outweigh what the vocal disgruntled customer might have cost in the first place.

The GameStop Rally Is a Lively Party, and Regulators Aren't Welcome
The stock market saga surrounding GameStop has shown that retail investors hold immense potential.

Nicholas Anthony
Economics GameStop GME Stock Market Short Selling r/WallStreetBets Reddit Regulation Investment Wall Street
GameStop's triumphant rise in the stock market might be easily confused with a saga out of Hollywood. There is a band of underdog retail investors joining forces to take on the Wall Street empire, the whole world is watching in suspense, and there was even a surprise twist (the trading halt) in the final act. Although the price is beginning to stabilize, few will soon forget the nearly 2,000 percent climb of GameStop's stock over the past 30 days.
Yet, regardless of where the price of GameStop's stock goes after this, it's safe to say retail investors won this battle. They have captured the world's attention and shown their true potential.
However, it's important that regulators do not make the mistake of confusing an event that attracted attention with an event that required attention, or intervention.
First, it is important to understand why this story has everyone on the edge of their seats. GameStop has been in decline for years, and it's no secret. Younger consumers have been moving toward online alternatives, and downloadable games have only exacerbated the company's market challenges. GameStop has been closing hundreds of locations and it isn't projected to turn a profit for another two years.
Although GameStop's performance hasn't earned it a spot on "Bloomberg's 50 Stocks to Watch" list, seasoned traders know not to dismiss the company entirely. GameStop's decline makes it a textbook example of short sales. Put simply, this is a way to turn a profit even when the economy is in decline. Investors are effectively betting that a company will continue to lose value.
However, just because it is a clever tool for making profits on the other side of the curve, that doesn't mean it is without risk.
This is where the underdogs of the story come in. Retail, or individual, investors on the sub-Reddit r/WallStreetBets recognized that GameStop (as well as AMC, BlackBerry, and few others) was a prime example of a company to short. But instead of betting on the company's demise, they rallied around it to cause a short-squeeze. This strategy works in two parts.
First, retail investors bought the stock and put upward pressure on the price. Because Wall Street had bet on the stock's demise, retail investors effectively eliminated the profitability of short selling it. This triggers part two. To minimize losses, Wall Street traders then abandoned hopes of short selling the stock and bought into it as it continued to climb. In doing so, this increases the upward pressure on the price. This is the short-squeeze.
In other words, where Wall Street bet on GameStop failing, retail investors bet on Wall Street going after an easy target. Wall Street has long referred to retail investors as "dumb money," but this may just put an end to that.
Although the story has garnered the attention of regulators and even the White House, the wrong takeaway is to suggest options for retail investors should be restricted more than they already are. Yet this is precisely what William Gavin, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, has called for. Gavin argued that there should be a 30-day trading suspension on GameStop to protect "small and unsophisticated investors."
Gavin's suggestion would have serious extended consequences. First, consider the knowledge problem that is involved in constructing such a restrictive regulation. When exactly would a rally become unacceptable? Despite years of decline, Kodak experienced a rally after its announcement that it would move into pharmaceuticals. Would this be permissible? If so, one could simply point to GameStop's decision to appoint three new directors in an effort to turn the company around. If this is not enough, regulators must clearly state what identified the investments as unacceptable.
It is unclear if there is a perfect benchmark to distinguish rallies. But without such a measure, the suspension proposal would put every rally at risk of wrongful closure––potentially halting the growth of companies and industries, alike. Worse yet, the fear of missing out on a rising stock may push some investors to rush in with less information than they would otherwise acquire. Even if it is in a traditional rally, an uninformed decision could cause more harm than good.
Yet suppose the knowledge problem is solved and there is a perfect measure in place. Should other protections be put in place? One could make the case for a law against allowing "unsophisticated" gamblers from going to Las Vegas and losing money. And although this may seem like a leap, Gavin himself told Reuters, "This isn't investing, this is gambling," when he spoke of the GameStop rally.
The rally has attracted the world's attention, but it does not require it. Rallies are a normal part of financial market activity. The only difference here is that it was Main Street that pulled one over on Wall Street.
The stock market saga surrounding GameStop has shown that retail investors hold immense potential. Where GameStop gave power to the players, financial apps have given power to the people. These apps have brought investing to the palms of countless hands across the world. Maybe these new investors will "disrupt" the market, but every great innovation was at one point termed a market disruption. This is no different.
Rather than rush in to restrict this new segment of the market, regulators should give retail investors the freedom to make their own trading and investment decisions. This means allowing them to rise to new heights and fall to new lows.
Risks and rewards are an inescapable part of investing. Experiencing both sides of this will serve to empower retail investors. And this is a good thing. If there is no other takeaway from the rally, it should be this: retail investors are here to stay and their future holds immense potential.

It isn't until Camille faces the truth of her distorted mirror that she realizes maybe lonely isn't the correct word to describe how she feels within her home and marriage. Maybe it's lovelessness… and that truth puts a lot on the line.

Smash Into You: Rook and Zenaida by AshleyNicole

In Round 1, Rook and Zenaida fought as hard as they could, but in the end, couldn't win the fight to keep their hands off each other. In Round 2, it's not just their hands they're fighting to hold back. It's their hearts as well. Can they put their mutual animosity aside to give love a chance and stop swinging?

The Novel as Climate Model: Realism and the Greenhouse Effect in Bleak House
Jesse Oak Taylor
Novel (2013) 46 (1): 1–25.
Jesse Oak Taylor; The Novel as Climate Model: Realism and the Greenhouse Effect in Bleak House. Novel 1 May 2013; 46 (1): 1–25. doi: https://doi.org/10.1215/00295132-2019092
Climate change cannot be experienced, only imagined. While we can experience the weather at any given moment, climate refers to the aggregation of weather patterns over time and thus can be accessed only through models and projections. This presents both a crisis and an opportunity for ecocriticism, which has often privileged immersive experience and a relatively simplistic view of the referentiality of language, particularly realism, known as "ecomimesis." Reading Charles Dickens's Bleak House alongside the artificial climates contained in Victorian glasshouses, this article argues that Dickens's novel serves to model the metropolis as a space of artificial nature, in which everything, including the weather, bears the traces of human influence. This provides a means to reevaluate the status of realism in an artificial climate, in which the laws of nature cease to delimit the bounds of the real. Rather than simply arguing for the novel as a representation of the London climate, however, it argues for the novel as a model, materializing the urban climate in its formal atmosphere—those apparently trivial or insignificant details often held responsible only for creating the effect of the real. Thus Roland Barthes's formulation of the "reality effect" is revised in keeping with a metaphor first used in the nineteenth century to conceptualize the workings of Earth's atmosphere: the "greenhouse effect."
