== rFactor 2 Trailer Features Shane The Menace Stanton ==
 +
 +
<html>A new trailer for the super-realistic racing game rFactor 2 has been released, courtesy of the community. While the team continues to build and build and build some more,[http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-c-598 Official Nike NFL Jerseys Supply Shop Wholesale NFL Jerseys At Cheap Price], gamers get to see exactly what it is they're building, thanks to trailers like this one, entitled ?Menace?, featuring Shane ?The Menace? Stanton.
 +
<br><br>
 +
We don't talk much about rFactor around this parts and that's a bit of my fault. The game is still very much in the lower-budget sector of the game development arena and much like it's bigger cousin,  a lot of the promotional assets come directly from the game community. Just as the name asserts, Project CARS is a community assisted racing simulator, and rFactor is also a community driven racing franchise that gets its popularity and support directly from the community.
 +
<br><br>
 +
Before talking more about rFactor, let's at least discuss that trailer, which was spotted over at . Hot dang that trailer was amazing.
 +
<br><br>
 +
There was a kind of ferocity depicted in that racing style that we just don't see very often, much less see it from a realistic style racing simulator. The fact that the trailer was called ?Menace? and featured Shane ?The Menace? Stanton blasting the living daylights out of that tarmac like they stole something special from him. I loved every single second of it and it's nice to see that some trailers can promote sim racing as aggressive and hard-edged, without it always being about the beauty of tire shredding and the appreciation of a car's curves.
 +
<br><br>
 +
Now, time to talk about rFactor a little bit. This game has been hailed and is continually being hailed as the game to which every racing simulator should be measured given its uncompromising depiction of weighty, accurate car physics and handling.
 +
<br><br>
 +
While the game obviously lacks the graphical edge of its top competitors such as  and Project CARS (the latter of which makes next-gen games look tame), rFactor 2 makes up for its visual shortcomings by outdoing its kin in the physics and racing department. As showcased in the trailer, there is an unbridled sense of speed that the game maintains as players take turns at suicide speeds and barrel down straightaways as if they were out-racing death on the highway of life. It's infectious.
 +
<br><br>
 +
It's also nice to see that the developers have found a nice way to iron out a corner of the racing genre for their own little niche,[http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/ New 2013 NFL Jerseys Supply Shop Offer Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys],[http://delexp.net/wiki/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Kohnmichael#What.27s_behind_One_Direction.27s_odd_sounds-_A_British_hidden_0 What's behind One Direction's odd sounds- A British hidden 0], coexisting rather well with  and the upcoming Project CARS without churning up too much heat in the fanboy factory.

== Labor Day travel expected to hit post ==
 +
 +
<html>With an improved housing market and optimism about the economy, more Wisconsinites are planning to get out of town over the holiday weekend than in any Labor Day since before the recession, AAA Travel predicts even as the average costs of airfares, hotels and car rentals rise.
 +
 +
An estimated 713,[http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/ New 2013 NFL Jerseys Supply Shop Offer Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys],000 Wisconsinites will hit the road this weekend, a post-recession peak that's 3.4% higher than last year. About 638,000, or nearly 90%, are expected to journey by car, while only about 26,000 will fly.
 +
 +
Nationwide, AAA estimates 34.1 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home, a 4.2% increase from last year. Around 29 million, or 85%, will be driving.
 +
 +
For many Americans,[http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-new-york-giants-c-598_657 Nike NFL New York Giants Wholesale On NFL Jerseys Store], their home is also their biggest asset. As home prices improve in many parts of the country, more families are feeling comfortable about traveling this Labor Day holiday, AAA President and CEO Robert L. Darbelnet said.
 +
 +
Not only are more people leaving home, but they also are expected to spend more money, as key costs in travel go up.
 +
 +
AAA's Leisure Travel Index notes that car rental rates are up 32% over last year's holiday and now average $51 a day. Airfares and rates for quality hotels both increased 4% year-over-year. The average airfare: $214, compared with $205 last year. The average price for a hotel that's comfortable but not quite upscale: $161 a night, compared with $154 last year.
 +
 +
Even though most people consider gasoline prices over $3.50 too high, current gas prices aren't likely to deter anyone who wants to take a trip, because they are lower than they were in 2012, according to AAA Wisconsin.
 +
 +
In Wisconsin, the average price for a gallon of regular gas is $3.54, 35 cents lower than last year. Barring late-summer hurricanes and refinery problems, gasoline prices likely will remain below 2012 levels,[http://www.sugarasp.com/wiki/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Kohnmichael#International_Student_Punches_Elderly_Woman_for_Protesting_A International Student Punches Elderly Woman for Protesting A], according to AAA forecasts.

== Indians acquire Jason Kubel from Diamondbacks ==
 +
 +
<html>Before being dealt to Cleveland, Kubel also drew trade interest from the  and , who are on the lookout for offensive help in the outfield. Although the 31-year old has hit only .220 with 5 HR and 32 RBI on the year,[Official http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-c-598], he is coming off one of the best seasons of his career, in which he hit .253 with 30 HR and 90 RBI. Due to the consistency he has shown throughout his career,[http://hedewikin.se/index.php?title=Anv%C3%A4ndare:Kohnmichael#Colonel_Meow_snags_Guinness_Book_of_World_Records_category_f Colonel Meow snags Guinness Book of World Records category f], Kubel is the ideal candidate to provide an offensive boost for a contender in the last month of the season.
 +
 +
After struggling all season with Arizona,[Nike http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-new-york-giants-c-598_657], Kubel was designated for assignment to clear room on the 25-man roster for pitcher David Holmberg. The D-Backs likely made the move with knowledge of interest in him from other teams that would enable them to receive compensation for him before the August 31st waiver trade deadline.
 +
 +
In nine major league seasons with the  (2004, 2006-2011) and Diamondbacks (2012-2013), Kubel is a lifetime .265 hitter with 139 HR and 551 RBI. He is in the final year of the 2-year, $16 million contract that he signed with Arizona before the 2012 season, meaning that he will be eligible for free agency after the season if the Indians decline their $7.5 million team option.

== Our View- St. Cloud continues its move 0 ==
 +
 +
<html>The next time you need a good example of what persistent teamwork can accomplish, think about ?move-in weekend? at St. Cloud State University. Here?s why.
 +
During the just-completed 2013 move-in weekend, St. Cloud police reported issuing 59 citations, only 11 of which went to university students. That?s a huge drop from last year?s citations, which totaled 161. More importantly, the 11 citations to students last weekend continued a steady decline in the number of university students contributing to any move-in weekend problems.
 +
A sixth straight move-in weekend in which fewer and fewer St. Cloud State students violated laws is a credit to the persistent teamwork of university leaders,[New http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/], city officials,[Nike http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-new-york-giants-c-598_657], involved campus neighbors and ? of course ? the students themselves.
 +
While raucous behavior and excessive drinking near the university will likely never be eliminated, it?s sure nice to see local headlines focus on families unloading futons, not dozens of minors caught with open containers.
 +
Most of the credit for such behavior goes to the university community. Upon his arrival at St. Cloud State in 2007, President Earl H. Potter III?s administration immediately began tackling this challenge on two fronts. Student accountability for off-campus behavior increased as did the university?s focus on increasing its connections with all of St. Cloud.
 +
Working on those dual fronts the past six years, the university and the city have made progress in areas ranging from educating students about the dangers of binge drinking to holding landlords and tenants accountable through strengthened ordinances built upon best practices.
 +
Look no further than the latest tool to make the campus neighborhood safer ? the St. Cloud Police Department?s new Campus Area Police Services officers. Thanks to the university paying salaries and benefits, three city police officers are assigned to the campus area. Their presence already was credited with helping arrest two men Aug. 23 suspected in the robbery of two people early Aug. 18 near City Hall.
 +
Longtime residents and returning university students well know how dangerous the nighttime hours can be for people traversing between downtown and campus, which is why it?s nice to see the CAPS unit have an immediate impact.
 +
For those students and other new residents who might not know, now you do, so please take the appropriate measures.
 +
As move-in weekend demonstrates, it?s better to be safe,[http://zonoandfriends.de/WIENWIKI/index.php?title=Benutzer:Kohnmichael#Woman_Arrested_For_Trying_To_Hire_Hitman Woman Arrested For Trying To Hire Hitman], be smart and behave than misbehave and make headlines.</html>

== Dunkin' Donuts apologizes for blackface advert 0 ==
 +
 +
<html>BANGKOK (AP) ― Dunkin' Donuts has apologized for the "insensitivity" of an advertising campaign in Thailand featuring a woman in blackface makeup to promote a new chocolate flavored doughnut.
 +
The Dunkin' Donuts franchise in Thailand came under criticism Friday after  called the advertisements "bizarre and racist."
 +
The company's chief executive in Thailand initially defended the campaign, but the U.S. headquarters quickly followed up with an apology.
 +
"We are working with our Thailand franchisee to immediately pull the ad. DD recognizes the insensitivity of this spot," Dunkin' Donuts said in a tweet posted on its official U.S. website after complaints erupted on Twitter, in a variety of blogs and in mainstream American media.
 +
The local franchise launched the advertisement earlier this month to promote its new "Charcoal Donut." In posters, TV commercials and on Facebook, the campaign shows a smiling woman with blackface makeup, bright pink lipstick and a jet black 1950s-style beehive hairdo holding up a bitten black doughnut. The slogan in Thai reads: "Break every rule of deliciousness."
 +
Critics say the image is reminiscent of 19th and early 20th century American stereotypes for black people that are now considered offensive symbols of a racist era.
 +
The New York-based Human Rights Watch said it was shocked to see an American brand name running an advertising campaign that would draw "howls of outrage" if released in the United States.
 +
"It's both bizarre and racist that Dunkin' Donuts thinks that it must color a woman's skin black and accentuate her lips with bright pink lipstick to sell a chocolate doughnut," said , the deputy Asia director for Human Rights Watch. "Dunkin' Donuts should immediately withdraw this ad, publicly apologize to those it's offended and ensure this never happens again."
 +
The campaign hasn't ruffled many in Thailand, where it's common for advertisements to inexplicably use racial stereotypes. A Thai brand of household mops and dustpans called "Black Man" uses a logo with a smiling black man in a tuxedo and bow tie. One Thai skin whitening cream runs TV commercials that say white-skinned people have better job prospects than those with dark skin. An herbal Thai toothpaste says its dark-colored product "is black,[http://wiki.scytheswath.com/index.php?title=%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB:Kohnmichael#What_we_learned_from_the_Texans What we learned from the Texans],[Official http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-c-598], but it's good."
 +
Hours before the apology was issued by Dunkin' Donuts headquarters, the company's chief executive in Thailand dismissed the criticism as "paranoid American thinking."
 +
"It's absolutely ridiculous," the CEO  said in a telephone interview. "We're not allowed to use black to promote our doughnuts? I don't get it. What's the big fuss? What if the product was white and I painted someone white, would that be racist?"
 +
Salhani said that the Thai franchise of Dunkin' Donuts operates independently of the American operation and that doughnut sales have increased about 50 percent since the campaign was launched around two weeks ago, which he attributed to curiosity about the new advertisements.
 +
"Not everybody in the world is paranoid about racism,[New http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/]," said Salhani, a Lebanese expatriate in Thailand who said his teenage daughter was the model featured in the campaign. "I'm sorry, but this is a marketing campaign, and it's working very well for us."</html>

== Bill Murray impersonates Liberace, destroys 'Late Show with ==
 +
 +
<html>What's the best way to celebrate 20 years of the Late Show with David Letterman ? By dressing up as Liberace and taking a pickaxe to the set.
 +
 +
Comedian Bill Murray joined Letterman for the show's 20th anniversary, and he had some tricks up his sleeve. For his entrance, the 62-year-old funnyman,[http://xawow.com/plus/view.php?aid=646101 One Direction- This Is Us Review], decided to go full-on Liberace, arriving onstage in a white vintage Rolls-Royce.
 +
 +
 +
Murray wore a white cape, metallic vest, and a Liberace-style toupee. He even carried a white toy poodle along with him. I had to get something that went with this outfit, Murray said, explaining the pooch.
 +
 +
After the fanfare, Murray got down to business. Claiming that he had buried a time capsule under the stage when he appeared as Letterman's first guest in 1993, he set to work excavating it by destroying the stage.
 +
 +
 +
John Paul Filo/AP
 +
Murray, dressed as Liberace, proceeded to destroy the set searching for a 20th anniversary 'time capsule' he had left.
 +
 +
First,[Official http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-c-598], Murray used a box-cutter to strip the stage carpet. He then took a pickaxe and a jackhammer to the stage. At the end of his endeavors,[New http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/], he produced a capsule that included an old Letterman hairpiece and a picture of the two of them from Letterman's first Late Show episode.
 +
 +
Here, we've done 3,901 episodes, Letterman said. Oh my god. And that plus our other old show, the old 'Late Night' show, put those two together and we've done 5,711 television shows.

== United Way seeking volunteers for Day of Caring 0 ==
 +
 +
<html>Volunteers are needed for the Day of Caring on Sept. 26.
 +
The United Way of Central Minnesota is helping about 30 organizations find volunteers for 62 projects throughout the area.
 +
There are 428 volunteer opportunities, and people have until Sept. 19 to sign up.
 +
?The main goal is to educate the community,? said Jessica Johnson,[http://www.openio.nl/w/index.php?title=Gebruiker:Kohnmichael#How_good_is_this_team How good is this team],[Nike http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-new-york-giants-c-598_657], United Way marketing and communications manager. ?We rely on our volunteers to get our work done. It?s really a savings for the community.?
 +
The volunteer opportunities are varied. Some of the events include a Kids Fighting Hunger food-packaging night and stenciling city storm drains for the city of St. Cloud.
 +
If volunteers don?t help, paid staff would have to do the jobs or the work wouldn?t get done, Johnson said.
 +
The average cost to complete all of the tasks equals $22.14 per hour, according to Johnson. More than 150 volunteers already have signed up to complete more than $11,000 in work.
 +
The United Way hosted the day between 1992 and 2009, but then the organization played around with different events. It has hosted Week of Action for the past two years. That spread out volunteer opportunities during a week.
 +
The United Way brought back the day of volunteering because of demand, according to Johnson.
 +
?People said they missed the enthusiasm, so we brought it back,[Official http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-c-598],? she said. ?It?s really exciting to come together.?
 +
The Day of Caring kicks off with a breakfast, and volunteers will be given T-shirts.
 +
The opportunities introduce people to the area?s nonprofits. Companies have developed relationships with nonprofits and have continued to volunteer.
 +
?It fosters year-round volunteerism,? Johnson said. ?Yes, it?s one day, but nonprofits need your help year-round.?</html>

== Gleason didn’t sue NFL, could get up to $5 million in ==
 +
 +
<html>Posted by Mike Florio on September 2, 2013, 11:04 AM EDT
 +
  Getty ImagesAs the dust begins to settle on the settlement of the NFL s concussion litigation, some intriguing twists will emerge.
 +
 +
For example, former Saints defensive back Steve Gleason, who has spent the past few years valiantly battling ALS, is eligible for a seven-figure payment even though he didn t sue the NFL.
 +
 +
Because the settlement expands the pool of 4,500-plus plaintiffs into a class that encompasses all retired players and creates a system for ensuring that only men with severe cognitive impairment will be compensated, Gleason automatically is eligible.
 +
 +
Under the formula that has been created,[Official http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-c-598], he can get up to $5 million from the $675 million compensation fund.
 +
 +
On one hand, Gleason may not want the money, given that he didn t sue. ?On the other hand, that money (which most likely will be paid out tax free) can go a long way toward securing a fruitful future for Gleason and his family. ?More importantly,[http://bbs.093.com/ Whats With All These Walls Sneaking Up On P], Gleason will become legally entitled to compensation under the settlement.
 +
 +
The fact that Gleason can get up to $5 million despite never suing underscores the tensions that undoubtedly will emerge as the lawyers try to persuade those who sued and who stand to get far less,[New http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/], if anything to accept the deal. ?Some of the men who undertook the risk of filing will resent the idea that those who chose not to sue will receive seven-figure payouts.
 +
 +
It will be delicate for currently healthy men who sued to complain about money going to those who have ALS. ?But it s one of the complications that will have to be dealt with as the settlement begins its journey through what could be a bumpy approval process.</html>

Huawei played down the report,[http://www.pantydeal.net/index.php/members/home New York Knicks Tickets, Events and Schedule at St], saying it had no plans to buy Nokia.
