Geist GameCube
In the hallways, labs and chambers of a shadowy compound, an unseen power is lurking.
As a ghostly Spectral Operative, players must search for their physical body, which is mysteriously being kept alive somewhere in the enormous complex. Players won't always be alone though--as they explore, they must collect the energies of indigenous spirits to help unravel a mystery and build their own power. Some will help ... but beware, for not all the spirits are friendly. Prepare for a first-person adventure with a spectral twist!
Features:
- Explore the compound as a ghost, then possess more than a dozen unique character types using their weapons, equipment, skills, and even memories, to complete your goals.
- Possessions range from soldiers with guns to dog- and mouse-like creatures that can perform specialized physical tasks. Choose different characters and see the world in different ways.
- Travel through the human world virtually unseen, using your abilities to slip through cracks, interfere with electronics, move objects and more.
- Face challenges from two unique angles--as a possessed human or a lurking spirit hunting its prey.
- Prepare for death matches with the dead in all-new multiplayer modes that combine first-person combat with unique ghost and possession mechanics.

We haven't heard much about Geist, the ghostly first-person shooter in development for the GameCube at n-Space, since it was announced at E3 2003. That is until recently, when we got a chance to go hands-on with the game to find out just what makes Geist's supernatural gameplay tick. The game features some pretty cool mechanics that you won't see in just any FPS, and a handful of adventure game elements ought to make the game appeal to a wider audience than those who simply like to run-and-gun everything in sight.
Geist casts you as John Raimi, a soldier investigating the shadowy Volks Corporation.
Caught in the ACT
We each hold deep-seated beliefs about three facets of our lives: what we do (and are not willing to do); what we know (and are certain that we don't know); and what we are (and are not). These are basic activities and we invest each of them with our life force. Yet they always slip through our fingers: Being, doing, and knowing come and go. In Caught in the Act, Toinette Lippe--with wit, a laser-sharp eye for detail, and a sense of the contemplative--brings us on a journey of daily awareness so that we can truly see the makeup and direction of these forces and how they shape our existence. With this book, we learn to give up the illusion of identifying with the thoughts, things, and activities that we call "I"--a vital step on the spiritual path and in the search for an authentic life.

The stars of "The Punisher" join forces again! Dolph Lundgren ("I Come In Peace") and Oscar winner Louis Gossett, Jr. (the "Iron Eagle" films) plunge into the world of international terrorism in this volatile thriller. Lundgren plays Mike Anderson, and American journalist, trying to piece together a story surrounding a sudden attack on a U.S. naval outpost near Tel Aviv. A U.S. official (Gossett, Jr.) seems to be stonewalling the facts, but one thing is soon clear to Anderson - he's in extreme danger. Assassins fire at him from rooftops. Hit men slip into his hotel room. And love becomes the most dangerous weapon of all. By the time Anderson uncovers all the facts, he'll also realize that only one can stop events from exploding into World War III. But it may be too late.

Inelastic Analysis of Structures by Milan Jirasek, ISBN 0471987166
The modeling of mechanical properties of materials and structures is a complex and wide-ranging subject. In some applications, it is sufficient to assume that the material remains elastic, i.e. that the deformation process is fully reversible and the stress is a unique function of strain. However, such a simplified assumption is appropriate only within a limited range, and in general must be replaced by a more realistic approach that takes into account the inelastic processes such as plastic yielding or cracking.
This book presents a comprehensive treatment of the most important areas of plasticity and of time-dependent inelastic behavior (viscoplasticity of metals, and creep and shrinkage of concrete). It covers structural aspects such as: incremental analysis
limit analysis
shakedown analysis
optimal design
beam structures subjected to bending and torsion
yield line theory of plates
slip line theory
size effect in structures
creep and shrinkage effects in concrete...
