All you design geeks, take notice. Gaming site SideQuesting.com is currently running a creativity-based contest that gives a nod to the recent Tron: Legacy film. Head over for the full rules, but here's the main objective: redesign the iconic light cycle. The catch? They're asking that artists spend no more t... |
Designs will be featured on the website, with winners receiving prizes appropriately scaled to the time put in, including an Art of Tron: Legacy book, and replica light cycle figurines.

Sometimes the clouds sew themselves together to make that kind of a sky that looks like it can't be moved. It's one of those skies that appears to be permanent, immovable. It's similar to the sky that we have on a crystal blue day as well, but the one that comes to mind, when thinking about the music of UK-based musici... |
Someone can get contemplative about many things under a sky like that one - one that's various hues of smoke and burned air and has an agenda. Someone can also try to look on the bright side as well, rightly feeling confident that this sky - filled with drizzle - is temporary. Dressner, who transplanted herself from Ne... |
About two-thirds of reported crimes committed in Sheffield end up with nobody being brought to justice, figures have revealed. |
Statistics showed there were 53, 021 offences committed across the city in the year to April 2018 but no further action was taken in 36, 381 of the cases. This means nobody was punished in about 68 per cent of all reported crimes. |
In addition, no suspect was identified in nearly half of all offences and suspects were sent to prison just 411 times - less than one per cent of all incidents. |
About a fifth of all crimes are still under investigation. |
In addition to the figures mentioned above, the offender was dealt with by police in two per cent of cases, was sent to court on two per cent of occasions and was dealt with at court in four per cent of all reported crimes. |
The city is divided up into four different police areas:- Sheffield Central, Sheffield West, Sheffield North East and Sheffield South East. |
Sheffield South East, which includes areas such as Manor, Arbourthorne and Woodthorpe, had the highest number of incidents with 15, 350 reported crimes. |
Anti-social behaviour was the most common crime and made up for about 32 per cent of all incidents, violence and sexual offences were second with 18 per cent and then criminal damage and arson accounting for about nine per cent. |
No further action was taken in two-thirds of cases, and no suspect was identified in about half of all crimes investigated. About 23 per cent of the offences are still under investigation. |
The force added that there are occasions when suspects cannot be brought to justice such as when an offender dies, prosecution is not in the public interest, the victim or key witnesses die or become ill, the suspect is under age and the victim may not support further action. |
Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said on Sunday that PPP triumph in the Senate polls had set the momentum for PPP victory in next general elections. Talking to reporters, she said the PPP victory in Senate elections has disheartened some analysts who used to talk about government’... |
She said PPP was moving forward in right direction in accordance with its manifesto. |
She said that by winning Senate elections, the party has laid the foundation for its victory in next general elections. |
She said there was no alternative to PPP leadership in the country and rivals could hardly contest PPP on political front. |
Firdous said by introducing Constitutional amendments, PPP has ensured independence of Election Commission and closed the backdoor for entry into power corridors once and for all. |
‘Nobody will come to power without the support of ballot’, she added. |
To a question about media, she said PPP was incomplete without media because the party believed in democracy and represented poor segments of the society. |
‘Neither PPP-led government would impose curbs on media, nor would allow attempts to nurture such thoughts’, she added. |
To a question about Balochistan, she said President Asif Ali Zardari was a Baloch and wanted to end sense of deprivation in Balochistan with the support of the people. |
She said the PPP leadership would continue to play its role in keeping the Federation intact. |
Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan said party was moving forward to provide ‘Roti, Kapra aur Makan’ in accordance with its manifesto and provision of six-marla residential units to 143 flood-hit women at Benazir Shaheed Model Village was part of its welfare-oriented and people-friendly policies. |
She said the party was looking forward to provide relief to the people in the fifth budget of its government and termed it a big achievement for the PPP-led government. |
After Hurricane Maria, Chef José Andrés Had A 'Crazy Dream' To Feed Puerto Rico : The Salt The James Beard award-winning chef started out preparing food for doctors and nurses. Then calls started pouring in from across the island. The message was clear, he says: "The island is hungry." |
When Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico in September 2017, chef José Andrés and the groups he founded, World Central Kitchen and Chefs for Puerto Rico, sprung into action. |
"We began serving hospitals, because the doctors and the nurses — nobody was feeding them," Andrés says of the initial effort. |
But then calls started pouring in from places that were hours away from San Juan. Andrés says the message was clear: "The island is hungry. With one restaurant alone, we have not enough." |
So Andrés and his group expanded their operation, commandeering kitchens from restaurants, schools and even a basketball stadium. "At one point, we had 18 kitchens functioning at the same time," he says. "We would [serve] over 150,000 meals a day." |
Andrés received the James Beard Award for outstanding chef of the year in 2011; this year, he was named the James Beard humanitarian of the year for his work in Puerto Rico. His new memoir is We Fed an Island. |
Restaurants are chaos and chefs — restaurant people — we manage chaos very well. After a hurricane, you see a lot of chaos, and people go hungry and people go thirsty. But what we are very good at is understanding the problem and adapting. And so a problem becomes an opportunity. That's why I think ... more and more yo... |
I got in an arena [in Puerto Rico] to use as a kitchen, to use as a place to gather all the food that was being donated, all the food we were buying. And there we created a crazy dream. For a few weeks, I think it became one of the biggest restaurants in the world. |
President Trump [said] 16 bodies. And by the time he said that, myself, without even looking, I saw four [corpses]. ... Here, in [a] few days ... I saw 25 percent of the official death toll that President Trump [cited]. Obviously this didn't happen that way. |
And by somehow keeping the real number away from the public, what this did was almost not [recognize] that the problem in Puerto Rico was huge, that the hurricane was amazingly big. ... If we knew there [were] 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 deaths, I'm sure the weight of the federal government to support the fellow citizens of Pu... |

Kerala Floods: In the last one week, 39people have died and four are missing. |
In view of the worst devastation in nearly a century suffered by Kerala due to rains and floods, the government on Tuesday cancelled this year's Onam celebrations, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced. |
The harvest festival is celebrated across the state. |
The Kerala government, which had earmarked Rs 30 crore for the cultural events to be held all across the state, decided to divert that amount to the Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund. |
The week-long festivities were to take place in August -- with the Thiru Onam falling on August 25. |
"What has occurred in our state has been the worst ever (disaster). A total of 444 villages have been affected. |
"The money set aside for Onam will be used for relief. We seek everyone's help in our efforts," Mr Vijayan told the media after a cabinet meeting. |
Since August 8, there has been widespread destruction following incessant rains, causing rivers to overflow. The opening of shutters of 27 dams in the state led to huge destruction of crops and properties. |
In the last one week, 39 people have died and four are missing. According to a rough estimate, more than one lakh people have been affected. |
The worst affected parts have been Idukki and Wayanad districts. Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode and Ernakulam too have been badly hit. |
Mr Vijayan said the cabinet had decided to form a cabinet sub-committee to look into the quick implementation of the relief and rehabilitation programmes. "From September 3 to 15, special courts would be held to see that all those who lost valuable records are issued duplicate ones and that too free of cost. |
"We have also asked the State Level Bankers Committee to see that when the compensation amount is transferred, they should not levy any charges," said Mr Vijayan. |
A group of apartments could stand around where the former American Museum of Science and Energy building does now. |
At its Monday meeting, the Oak Ridge Industrial Development Board voted to recommend to City Council an agreement regarding Payments In Lieu of Taxes (PILT) for the developer, Mainstreet Capital Partners LLC. |
In the proposal approved by IDB, during the construction period the developer will pay $20,320 per year. Then it will pay $100,000 per year to the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) lenders to repay TIF debt in the first 15 years. Next, it will pay $170,000 in year 16, $250,000 in year 17, $325,000 in year 18, $400,000 in y... |
Daniel Smith with the developer Mainstreet Capital LLC said earlier at an IDB workshop that he hoped the development will have 217 apartment units with a pool and a clubhouse. He said the current concept plan includes connections to Illinois, Tulane and Badger avenues, although one current cut-through route will no lon... |
He said his company plans to demolish the former American Museum of Science and Energy building. |
Currently, Wilson said, the city owns the property and does not receive any property tax revenue from it. |
The city plans to pass the property through another developer, South Carolina-based RealtyLink before Mainstreet Capital Partners receives it. |
The museum is now near the JCPenney retail store in the Main Street Oak Ridge development, which is also owned by RealtyLink. |
After the vote, IDB member Tim Stallings said he was concerned City Council would “shut down” this request similar to its refusal to allow RealtyLink to make changes to the Main Street Oak Ridge plan. Those proposed changes were to allow for a set of stores to block the entrance to the shopping center development from ... |
In a later interview, City Manager Mark Watson explained that the former AMSE site land, along with the Main Street Oak Ridge development across the street, are part of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) zone. Unlike the PILT, this agreement is already in place. As Watson explained, businesses in the general Main Street O... |

Poker aficionados claim their sport is getting a raw deal from the Olympics and are campaigning for a place at the table at the Athens Games. |
A group calling itself "Poker in Athens" have said they will not take the exclusion sitting down and have upped the stakes with an online petition calling the bluff of the sporting world. |
The group's website (www.pokerinathens.org) says they are "passionately dedicated to bringing poker to the 2004 Games," and demands that poker be given the respect shown to games like chess and bridge. |
In an open letter, the group says that poker demands "the focus of the archer, the endurance of the decathlete and the skill of the gymnast." |
"After all, the ribbon-waving rhythmic gymnasts are in. The shuttlecock-chasing badminton players are in. Even the ice-sweeping curlers are in. And poker's out?" they lament. |
"That's like throwing a party for mankind's greatest inventions and forgetting to invite indoor plumbing". |
The International Olympic Committee, the body which decides what is Olympic and what is not, was not available for comment. |
The website features spoof releases to illustrate the group's efforts, under titles such as 'Poker Players Submit to Drug Testing' and 'Poker Players Agree to Wear Unitards (skin-tight one-piece garments)'. |
Another section shows rhythmic gymnastics and synchronised swimming clips with the caption: "If this qualifies, why not poker?". |
The owners of the site, playing their cards close to their chest, were also unavailable for comment. |
As careful observers of the criminal justice system, TSG has noticed a troubling trend emerging nationwide. And it has nothing to do with the prevalence of meth laboratories being discovered in houses of worship. |
No, young American men are being arrested while under the influence of that Justin Bieber haircut. |
As seen on the following pages, suspects are regularly being busted while sporting the floppy haired look pioneered by the angel-voiced 16-year-old singer. These young perps have been collared for an array of crimes, ranging from petty theft to a drive-by shooting. |
I) Click here to look through the photos in old school TSG style. In the upper right corner of each page you’ll find a description of the criminal charge(s) leveled against the suspect. |

I think that Bieber girl is pretty. She should wear her hair a little longer, though, because she looks almost like a young boy. |

As others have said, the 'Bieber cut' is nothing new. Look at old photos of Paul McCartney or John Lennon. Guys like that created the floppy haired look. |

BTW Justin Bieber is just one more example why Congress should pass a law banning teen girls from buying music. Seriously, all that garbage you hear on the radio is a direct result of them.

Many of those hairstyles look absolutely nothing like Beiber, and a lot more like 1970s college students. Poor excuse for a collection. |
