Chordee is a birth defect of the penis. It causes the penis to be curved downward during an erection. If left untreated, this can cause problems in later years. For example, it can cause discomfort during sexual intercourse. Talk to the doctor if you think your child may have this condition.
The Male Reproductive System
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Chordee is a congenital condition. This means that it occurs when the baby is developing in the womb. It is sometimes due to a shortened urethra or having thick tissue around the urethra. The urethra is the tube that connects the bladder to the outside of the body so that urine can exit. Other times, the problem may be due to the skin on the bottom side of the penis being too short.
One risk factor is
. With this condition, the opening of the urethra is on the bottom of the penis. Normally, the opening is at the tip of the penis.
Symptoms include:
This condition may not be detected until later in childhood.
The doctor may diagnose the condition during a physical exam. A specialist called a urologist may do a procedure to create an artificial erection. This allows the doctor to examine the penis. Chordee may also be found during surgery to fix another problem that affects the penis.
In mild cases, surgery may not be needed. The doctor will monitor your child's condition. In other cases,
may be done to straighten the penis. The curved appearance will be straightened by:
Surgery is usually done in children aged 3-18 months.
There is no known way to prevent this condition.

The increasing scale of society affects societal pressures in a number of ways, making failures more expensive and more onerous.
Security technologist Bruce Schneier interconnects concepts from biological and social sciences to describe how society engenders trust and security. Schneier shows how society suffers in the absence of trust, whether examining the microcosm of social settings between two people or the world at large.
The increase scale of society exerts social pressures in a number of ways, including the pressure of more people, increased complexity in the interaction among those people, increased technological intensity and increased inertia resistance to change.

Sanders to chair veterans committeeDecember 13,2012Sanders to chair veterans committee
WASHINGTON Sen. Bernard Sanders has been named chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., made the announcement while listing committee assignments for the next session of Congress.
As the White House and lawmakers are in the final stages of negotiating a year-end debt reduction deal, Sanders, an independent, said his first order of business is to stop a proposal that would slash benefits for disabled veterans. It is morally and economically unacceptable that anyone in Congress would propose balancing our budget by making significant cuts for disabled veterans, Sanders said.
A proposed switch to a so-called chained CPI, a new way to measure consumer prices and calculate cost-of-living adjustments, would drastically reduce benefits for veterans and their families. The largest cuts would impact young, permanently disabled veterans who were seriously wounded in combat. According to the Social Security Administration, permanently disabled veterans who started receiving VA disability benefits at age 30 would see their benefits cut by more than $1,300 a year at age 45; $1,800 a year at age 55; and $2,260 a year at age 65.
Sanders has served on the Veterans Affairs Committee for six years. He replaces Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who was appointed the new chair of the Senate Budget Committee.
Earlier this year, Sanders won a Congressional Leadership Award from the Disabled American Veterans. He has helped pass legislation to provide over $57 million to help severely disabled veterans adapt their homes to better accommodate their disabilities and supported legislation to assist the caregivers of severely wounded warriors.
In addition to the Veterans Affairs Committee, Sanders sits on four other standing committees: Budget; Environment and Public Works; Energy and Natural Resources; and Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in...

Federico Mena-Quintero, the last member of the first openSUSE Board being interviewed on the 'People of openSUSE', is a full time GNOME 'bug-fixing' hacker, and one of the founders of the GNOME Project.
openSUSE developer and Novell employee Cristian RodrÃguez will perform 3 talks during an event entitled "Opensource : mas cerca del código" that will take place on ValparaÃso, Chile at the dependencies of INACAP (Av. España 2255) between November 20 and November 22.
The current schedule, defines the following:
On Tuesday 20, he will be all day sharing and talking with interested people about the project as well giving away some nice t-shirts and hats :-D
Wednesday 21:
11:00- 13:00: "PHP5 y el camino a PHP6″("PHP5 and the road to PHP6″) unfortunately, the room is already full. no more participants allowed :(
Thursday 22:
11:00- 12:00: "openSUSE, presente y futuro" ("openSUSE , present and future") at the Auditorium (capacity : 400 persons, still open for registration)
15:00- 17:00 : "Tutorial openSUSE 10.3″ already "sold out", registration closed.
In case you are interested to participate on this or other interesting talks please visit http://www.infovalpo.os-solutions.cl/opensource and register yourself before is too late ;)
As part of their openSUSE release series, Novell Open Audio has talked to Jan-Christoph Bornschlegel and Stephan Kulow about KIWI, openSUSE's operating system imaging solution. They talk about how you can create a customized distro, USB and preload images, and how it was used to create the openSUSE 10.3 Live-CDs. In the second part Reinhard Max describes Asterisk, an open source telephony engine and tool kit, where to find packages for openSUSE and its usage within Novell.
We caught up with Jigish Gohil – a Compiz Fusion developer, openSUSE packager, and also a true openSUSE evangelist, for one more 'People of openSUSE' interview.
The openSUSE board has been setup to lead the overall project. The board will: act as a central point of contact, help resolve conflicts, communicate community interests to Novell, facilitate communication with all areas of the community, and facilitate decision making processes where needed.
The board should provide guidance and support existing governance structures, but shouldn't direct or control development, since community mechanisms exist to accomplish the goals of the project. The board should document decisions and policies.
The initial board has been appointed by Novell — in the future, the board members will be elected by the community and the chair person appointed by Novell. One of the missions of the board is to define a process to elect the next board.
It's official: the openSUSE project Guiding Principles are now in force. The Guiding Principles are a framework for the project and give everyone a clear view of who we are, what we stand for, what the project wants and how it works. The Guiding Principles document was created by the openSUSE community and is embraced by Novell – the founder and largest sponsor of the openSUSE project. This important document will help ensure the success and continued progress of the project. Along with the Guiding Principles, we are also launching the openSUSE Board to offer a central point of contact to the community and make community participation in project governance easier. The openSUSE Board consists of both external community members and community members employed by Novell .
We encourage all to support the Guiding Principles here. Create your profile and support the Guiding Principles.
We want to especially thank all contributors to the Guiding Principles, and last but not least, all community members who make the openSUSE project such a success.
Have a lot of fun!

IP Exchange, a major german Internet Service Provider, is sponsoring the openSUSE project with internet connectivity. They provide a mirror server in their location with a up to 1 GBit/s, a fast connection from the openSUSE Build Service and the central openSUSE ftp server to the mirror servers.
During the launch of openSUSE 10.3 we did already benefit from the sponsoring of IP Exchange. It allowed us to get the ISOs fast to the mirrors and to the people downloading 10.3.
We highly appreciate the contribution of IP Exchange and like to thank in the name of the openSUSE community. This makes the openSUSE project even more attractive to Linux contributors all over the world.
As part of their openSUSE series over the next coming weeks, Novell Open Audio is taking a look at the YaST Improvements and 1-Click-Install in openSUSE 10.3. It features interviews with Thomas Göttlicher, Martin Lasarsch and Adrian Schröter. They talk about the YaST speed improvements, openSUSE updater improvements, and of course 1-click-install.
The openSUSE release is not only available for free download but also as separate boxed product to buy from retail shops and internet shops. The box product contains two DVDs for 32-bit x86 and 64-bit x86-64 systems which have the complete ftp tree of the openSUSE 10.3 distribution. Additionally, it comes with a printed start up manual and free installation support.
As with every openSUSE release — and also previously with SUSE Linux releases — we have sent out during the last week to upstream package maintainers, the openSUSE translation teams and to active bug reporters an openSUSE 10.3 box for free to say thank you!

A little about me...
Hi There,. Am looking for a kindred spirit to share some fun, adventure and relaxation.
I keep busy with family friends, neighbors and volunteer work. Favorite past times include, not limiteed to reading, crosswords, crafts, any home project and enjoying new experiences, hopefully, with a new friend.
As a retired sales rep., I qualify as a people friendly person, (I don't bite). I genuinely like people and enjoy most humans. My alone time and space is equally important.
I carry no bagggage, no life wrenching life story or serious hang ups (shoes don't count) Life has been nice to me.
I am a generally happy positive lady looking to meet a special person to laugh, converse and do some fun things with.
If you read between the line here, you see a freindly, charming, gracious, adorable, sensitive, sexy and and a very very shy lady.
About the one I'm looking for...
I enjoy a great sense of humor, I like to laugh/smile. My sense of humor is kind of dry, so the intelligence to appericiate that is required. I also feel making fun of myself is great sport. A great smile is a real plus. We all must admit that what we like and don't like maybe real, but in the end "Chemistry Wins Out" I would require a picture as I have provided my own.
Good Luck To Us All.
I'd just like to add...
Send me a message.

Book Description:
This collection of Chinese stories begins with the great legends of how Earth and Heaven came into being, and of how the archer Yi rid the Emperor Yao of the menace of the ten suns. There are folk-tales here, too: about ghosts and rain-makers, poor students and magicians, and the man who was nearly made into fishpaste. Throughout all of these stories Cyril Birch has kept the subtle flavor of the originals and brings to life all of the magic and mystery of China.

even likely that object-oriented programming and modular designs consistent with the HLA will make it possible for future systems akin to the RSAS to have long useful lives. This, indeed, is what is hoped for in the JWARS effort. Whether that is achieved depends on the intensity of devotion to keeping the JWARS effort an "open architecture" that can readily accommodate alternative modules and, thus, evolve if newer and better representations emerge of important objects or processes. The panel's experience has consistently been that day-to-day and economic pressures are almost always in favor of relatively monolithic, not extremely modular, constructions. The reasons are apparent to anyone who has built computer programs with more concern about speed of completion, run-time speed, and "straightforwardness " than about expandability, reuse, modifiability, and so on. This has not changed. Another factor is DOD's frequent emphasis on agreed databases and configurational control, sometimes at the expense of quality. The Department of the Navy should establish a continuing policy of arguing for the modular assembly-oriented features of JWARS and JSIMS, and increase the emphasis on such matters in more Navy-and Marine-specific models like NSS.
Despite the theoretical and practical strength of modern model-building concepts and technology, we note that it is an unproved hypothesis that such reusability will be meaningful and sufficiently low-risk to be used in distributed analysis. It would not be surprising if cross-organization model confederations used in distributed simulation 20 years from now were as untrustworthy and impenetrable as large monolithic models are today—when used for tradeoff analysis and other complex tasks. On the other hand, model confederations have already proved useful, for both training and analysis, in a variety of situations. 4 Generalizations are dangerous, and much depends on how DOD manages its M&S in the years ahead.
Another caution is that building-block approaches have their limitations. There are costs associated with having a system with too many choices, building blocks, and features. In principle, such a system may be able to serve many different masters, with each assembling the system they need, but in practice the system may be difficult to comprehend and ponderous—especially when attempting to serve applications across domains with different concepts, purposes, terminology, and measures of effectiveness (e.g., training, test-and-evaluation, and force planning). As a result, there will continue to be demands for specialized systems with only moderate flexibility. The one-system-serves-all concept should be viewed with considerable suspicion.
Examples of successful use of confederations were given in a recent minisymposium (MORS, 1997). See, for example, the paper by Kent Pickett of the Army's TRADOC.

Smile for Me Now Lyrics - 2Pac
Review The Song (11)
from Death Row Greatest Hits
f/ Scarface
There's gonna' be some stuff that your gonna' see
That's gonna' make it hard to smile in the future
(No Doubt)
But whatever you see, through all the rain and pain
You gotta keep a sense of humor
Gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit
Remember that
Just keep ya head up
Our lifesytles be closed caption
Addicted to fatal attractions
Pictures and actions be played back
In the midst of mashin'
No fairytales for this young black male
Some see me stranded in this land of Hell
Jail and crack cells
hustlin, hard to think of culture
Or the repercussion
While bustin' on back-stabbing vultures
Sellin' my soul
For material wishes
Fast cars and bitches
Wishin' I live my life a legend
Immortalized in pictures
Why shed tears, save your sympathy
My childhood years
Was spent burying my peers in the cemetary
Here's a message to the newborns
Waiting to breath:
"If you believe then
you can achieve, just look at me"
Against all odds
Though life is hard, we carry on
Living in the projects
Broke with no lights on
To all the seeds that follow me
Protect your essence
Born with less but your still precious
Just smile for me now
Ohhh Won't you smile for me
(2Pac: Just smile for me now)
Ohhh Won't you smile for me
(Nigga you black, smile for me now)
Ohhh Won't you smile for me
(You ain't got nothin' to worry about)
(Smile for me now)
Ohhh Won't you smile for me
(and the next generation)
Now as I open up my story
With the blaze of your blunt
So you can picture thoughts slowly
Upon phrases I run
And I can walk you thru the dayz that are done
I often wish that I can save everyone
But I'm a dreamer
Have you ever seen a nigga
Who was strong in the game?
Over-looking his tomorrows
and they finally came
Look back on childhood memories
And I'm still feelin' the pain
Turnin' circles in my nights grave
Dealin' Cocaine
To many hassels in my local lights
Survivin' the strain
And a man without a focused life
could drive him insane
Stuck inside a ghetto fantasy
Hopin' it'd change
But we're not focused on reality
We broken in chains
Had a dream of livin' wealthy
Makin' it big
Over football
chose 2 cook raw
What take it
He did
And after all my mama's thankin' god
For blessing her child
All my mama gotz to do now is collect
And smile
(2Pac: Smile)
Ohhh Won't you smile for me <X4>
(Smile for me now) <X1>
Fuck tha world
As we elope, we witness furious speeds
Un-answered questions keep us all stressin'
Curious G's
Back stabbed and bleeding
Crooked thoughts
Laced with weed
Learnin', duckin' stray shots
Bullets be hot
They burnin'
Inhale the sherm smoke
Visualize the flames
Will I be smothered by my own pain?
Strange wisdoms
Cowards conversate'
So quick to dis' us
Takin' pictures for the Feds
In desperate hopes they get us
Hit us all, give us plenty centuries
Forgive my stance
Sense I entered many penitentiaries
The best revenge
Is fuck friends
We milatary minded souljahs
Bustin' shots blindly
Trying to find Jahova
To help me
Somebody save me
Lost and crazy
Scared to drop a seed
Hopin' I ain't cursed babies
Maybe now
Niggaz feel me now
Picture my pain
Embrace my words
Make the world change
And still I smile nigga
Chorus till fade....

What's the Story Behind Your PMP Certification?
Education and Training,
Generational PM,
Categories: Education and Training, Generational PM, PMI
Long-time Voices on Project Management blogger Conrado Morlan, PMP, PgMP shares how attaining a PMP certification helped his career.
Project management practitioners like me, with more than 20 years of experience, learned about PMI and the PMP® certification in ways much different from today.
My first exposure to PMI, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and PMP certification was in the late 1990s. It was during a training program to attain PMP certification -- and in Spanish, no less -- at the company I worked for in Puebla, Mexico.
My colleagues and I questioned the benefits of this certification, which at the time was not well known in Mexico. In addition, the written exam was in English. That did not make the PMP more attractive.
I left the company before taking the exam. Yet in my new job, I discovered that the knowledge I acquired in the training program was very helpful. Without prompting, I used some of the best practices in the PMBOK® Guide, especially those related to risk and project integration.
As I progressed professionally, I moved to the United States and learned more about PMI chapters and global congresses. I became a member and a regular at chapter meetings.
By this point -- even with eight years of practical experience in project management and applying best practices in my work -- I realized I needed to take it to the next level: earning PMP certification. Sure, professional experience and on-the-job-training are important -- but I was only recognized for that at my company. Attaining the PMP meant that the world's largest association for the profession would validate my professional experience.
In the lead-up to my exam, I was traveling intensively for my job, and the PMBOK® Guide became my travel companion. While abroad, I visited local PMI chapters and learned about running projects in different settings. The interaction with members of PMI chapters in other countries helped me tweak my project plan. The combination of studying and exchanging ideas with practitioners internationally were fundamental for my PMP exam preparation.
In December 2005, I attained my PMP -- and I have never regretted it. Achieving the certification brought me immediate benefits. After I notified my manager, he awarded me an incentive bonus. A week later, I was selected to lead one of the most challenging projects of the portfolio.
Over the years, I also became more involved in my community, volunteering at events such as PMI item-writing sessions. In 2011, I was honored with the 2011 PMI Distinguished Contribution Award. I'm not saying that getting my PMP awarded me recognition and experience overnight, but I needed it to get to the next stage in my career.
I still find project professionals who think the same as my colleagues and I did in the late 1990s. The most frequent questions I hear are: Why should I earn a certification or a credential, if I am a senior project manager with many years of experience? How does a certification or credential make me different?
To these, I respond with a question (Why not step out of your comfort zone?) and a thought (What made you successful in the past will not make you successful today).
The truth is that, just like doctors, project professionals need to update their knowledge to face the challenges in today's project world. PMP certification and PMI membership give you access to share and acquire project management knowledge, stay up to speed on new trends, and join a group of global volunteers contributing toward the advancement of the profession. Most importantly, certification helps you reach the next step in your professional life. At least that is what it has done for me.
How did getting a PMP help your career? Are you still considering getting one, and why?
Foster Growth for Junior Project Managers
Education and Training,
Categories: Education and Training, Leadership, Teams
|How can you still use the people you currently have on your team rather than replace them?
One suggestion is to look to your junior project managers, provided that they are sufficiently skilled, to complete the work that needs to be done.
But how do you train the junior project manager quickly and sufficiently?
As project managers, we, especially those with credentials, have a strong belief in this profession and the desire to advance our knowledge and practice. Those of us who are already senior project managers have the responsibility to work with our junior project managers or team members and support them in their growth.
As a project or program manager, you have the power to give them the tools they need to unleash their power as coordinators and junior project managers. As a project manager, you already know how to manage the project. It's up to you to help the less experienced know what they should be doing, what they shouldn't be doing and what tools they should or shouldn't be using.
For example, I worked with one junior project manager who lacked experience in working with those who were directly involved in the business operation. The solution we found was to involve her directly with the business analyst. The business analyst could help the project manager communicate her needs into "business speak." This allowed the project manager to learn, and adjust her management and communication styles.
Knowledge sharing gives junior project managers more confidence. By providing them with an experience working with you on a project, you are creating an environment that fosters growth and development and is fun and rewarding.
Are you a senior or junior project manager? What has your experience been like? How do you foster growth for junior project managers?
Managing Multicultural Teams
Education and Training,
Generational PM,
Categories: Education and Training, Generational PM, Teams
|In my first post ever, I talked about how the "multi" factor plays an important role in projects and how project managers must be prepared to address team issues related to this phenomenon.
As project managers in a global environment, we are now more often expected to lead multi-regional projects. This adds the element of different cultures -- both national and organizational -- that adds can add complexity to projects.
Perhaps your experience is similar to mine when working with project teams in a global environment. My multicultural project team consists of senior stakeholders, a deployment team and a technical support team. All team members have varying experience in the organization, but also can come from very different cultural backgrounds.
There can be a struggle when starting a project in a culture that you are not familiar with. How do you bring everyone together to share a common vision and commitment on the project delivery? I have learned that I need to develop strong cultural competencies to manage a multicultural project team effectively and to establish connections with the team members.
I like to use three tactics when on-boarding a new team member from a different culture:
1. Explain the purpose and benefits of the project to help establish the bond between the team member and the project objectives. Stress the importance of his or her role and how his or her local experience and knowledge will benefit the project.
2. Discuss any concerns that the team member may have, such as with language or customs. This can also help break the ice and show that you understand how difficult cross-cultural relationships can be.
3. Emphasize what is important to you, whether it's work ethic or communication methods, and why it's important. Don't assume that all of your expectations are globally understood.
When I manage a project abroad, one of my preferred ways to build cultural awareness is by spending time visiting popular spots where the locals meet. For example, at restaurants, coffee shops, sporting events and shopping centers, you can observe customs, traditions and behaviors.
Your observations in those settings can help to answer your questions about the culture. But it's just not observation that will help you. People are very proud of their cultures and customs and are often keen to help you understand them. This supports the need to build a rapport with your team, whilst also building your awareness.
It's also important to understand your own culture's norms and behaviors. That knowledge helps guard against interpreting another culture's behaviors in terms of your own unexamined expectations.
As a global project manager, how do you manage a multicultural team?
Selecting a Protégé From Your Project Team
Career Help,
Education and Training
Categories: Career Help, Education and Training
It is always good to groom talent internally to fill vacant positions in the company. It saves cost, effort and time -- all the important aspects of a successful project.
I like to think of grooming a project team member as another project.
To ensure that 'project' is successful, a project manager should look for possible candidates that match certain characteristics. In my opinion, the following are among the characteristics a manager should look for in potential project managers (in no particular order):
1. Friendliness
A project manager must be able to communicate effectively. Friendliness is a good trait to have because more often than not, a friendly person is able to get information from the least communicative person.
2. Willingness to learn
Learning happens all the time in managing projects. Even the most seasoned project managers still learn something new from each new project.
3. Vision
A project manager must be focused in seeing a project through until it is completed -- or halted. He or she must have a clear vision to be able to steer the project team to fulfill the project goals.
4. Organized
And this doesn't mean the project manager's workstation. The information that the project manager shares must be organized and structured to ensure clarity and understanding to the recipients.
5. Diplomatic
In a project, conflicts will arise -- even from something as minor as a missing network cable, for example. A project manager must be able to act objectively, as a mediator and be able see the whole picture.
6. Firm
When making decisions or providing direction, a project manager needs to be firm. Not every decision will be popular. Resistance may occur, but the project manager must stick to her or his ground.
This, by no means, is an exhaustive list of characteristics that a project management protégé must have. But I do believe these are the fundamental criteria that a project manager should possess to be effective and successful.
What criteria do you look for in a project team member when grooming him or her to be a project manager? What other characteristics do you feel are important for someone who wants to be a project manager?

As project managers, we tend to utilize their skills as much as possible because we know that more often than not, they will be able to produce excellent results and meet expectations.
Nevertheless, this group of people still needs the opportunity to improve their skills and knowledge. This is especially true when an organization needs to stay relevant in the current economic conditions.
According to PMI's 2012 Pulse of the Profession report, a critical success factor of projects was staffing the team with the appropriately skilled people. Organizations that had a formal process for developing project/program competency saw a 70 percent success rate on projects, versus a 64 percent overall average.
Unfortunately, Pulse of the Profession also showed that in 2011, only 47 percent of organizations had a formal "talent management" process, down from 52 percent in 2010.
But we must have formal talent management processes to develop project managers and team members, and you must tailor it to the people involved. An effective project manager is only as good as the information that he or she has.
An "accidental project manager," for example, might not have attended formal project management training courses. But fundamental knowledge helps project managers achieve effective and high-quality deliverables. For this group, it would be good to start them off with proper training on the core skills they'll need to grow and succeed as project managers.
Team members who are familiar with project management fundamentals might need help developing in other areas, such as soft skills. Since 90 percent of a project manager's job is communication, maybe you will help them improve in that area.
Have the team member sign up for a communication course, for example. Choose topics such as influencing skills, which is important in convincing clients and partners. Or, suggest courses on negotiating skills, which is helpful in negotiating a more achievable schedule.
Refresher courses could be helpful for everyone on the team. Look for training that zooms into specific project management areas, such as effective cost and scheduling control, risk management or quality control management. Aim for at least one training session every quarter.
Do you have a formal talent management system? How do you develop your project managers?

Vt. House to give final approval to aid in dying
MONTPELIER — The Vermont House is expected to give final approval to a bill that would allow Vermont doctors to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients who request it.
The likely final passage of the bill sets up a clash with the state Senate, which passed a different proposal.
The differences are over how involved the state should be in monitoring the dying process.
The House version contains several safeguards, including waiting periods totaling 17 days, the requirement that the patient be deemed mentally competent and make the request three times, once in writing, as well as others.
The Senate version removed civil and criminal liability for health professionals and family members when a terminally ill patient takes a lethal dose of medication.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The mid-November deadline has passed and the resumes are all in, but the number of...

Black Friday is a pain. The lines are long, the weather sucks, and you'd probably rather spend your day off somewhere else. On top of all that, there are way too many things to spend your money on.
This weeks offerings on PlayStation consoles are an eclectic mix of Thanksgiving treats, boasting games featuring a kitty in a submarine, a barroom brawl, an adventurous group of shapes and vampire stripping. Oh, yeah, and then theres Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions and a demo for Guilty Gear Xrd Sign, so thats pretty rad.
Turtle Rock Studios is doing something a bit different from other studios out there: they're not going to charge for downloadable map content for their upcoming asymmetric, competitive multiplayer game, Evolve. Why? Because they don't want to break up the community or create disparity within the player-base.
We've seen a strong trend lately from composers constantly pushing the barrier in quality and creativity when it comes to game soundtracks, and Sarah Schachner's score for Assassin's Creed Unity is right up there with the best of them.

They couldn't wait for Valve to finally release SteamOS, so Alienware went on ahead and let loose their new PC gaming console called the Alienware Alpha. The console-style form factor and custom OS basically turns the standard desktop PC into an easy-to-use console.
The 2014 Game Awards Show lists the nominees. Atari's E.T., sells for a ridiculous price and there are some Black Friday deals by Gamestop well worth checking out.
Destiny is first and foremost a multiplayer game but Bungie wants to accommodate the lone wolves out there who would rather play by themselves. They announced this week that balance changes are on the way to help these players out.

As Nelson Mandela slowly fades into history, yet another remarkable moment is helping to seal his legacy: Millions of people around the world are preparing for this beloved man to die.
There are prayers and vigils, pictures and candles, headlines and YouTube videos. And as the 94-year-old Mandela's hospitalization continues, many are caught in an awkward limbo. They are sharing on a global scale what is usually a private scenario.
Sociology professor Lori Brown of Meredith College says the world is waiting to honor the man who proved the power of unity and forgiveness.
She says even though it's possible to honor Mandela while he's alive, his death will allow the world to experience a rite of passage.

This source code is KILLER. We are selling the universal Mustache Bash photo booth source code for iPhone, iPod, and iPad.
Mustache Bash has over 750,000 downloads and 900 reviews (with an average of 4.5 stars for all versions)! That's CRAZY!
You can check out the original App here.
All you need to do for the reskin is create a new icon, new Loading and Home screens, new transparent .png feature images to replace the mustaches (1 free pack and other packs for in-app purchase), and a handful of other buttons.
You must change the theme and the images. Otherwise, your app won't stand out enough to be a success. A Single Use license entitles you to create one app and distribute it in binary form through the App Store. But the Unlimited license entitles you to create and distribute in binary form as many reskins as you want.
The app is coded in Objective-C, and includes the following:
And much, much more! At this price, the Mustache Bash code is an absolute steal. Creating this code from scratch would require approximately 260 development hours (or around 6 weeks).
Licensing the code will save you quite a bit of time and money.
We'll be happy to answer any questions you have and help guide you through the process.
You never know…you could be the next appreneur to make it big. Mustache Bash has over 640,000 downloads and 830 reviews (with an average of 4.5 stars for all versions)!
Changes Needed for Mustache Bash Source Code
Currently Mustache Bash has two folders for each mustache pack inside the "staches" folder. These two packs are titled "mustache" and "thumb."
The mustache folder contains the images that actually drop on the picture. Each of the images in the mustache folder has a different size, depending on the size of the original image from which the feature was taken. And each mustache has a standard (.png) and retina display (@2x.png) version.
The thumb folder contains the small thumbnail images that show in the mustache gallery. Each of these thumbnail images in thumb folder is the same size (87x72 for standard .png and 174x144 for retina @2x.png).
So when your designer creates new images, he or she should create the new images for both the mustache folder and thumb folder. These images have the same name but difference sizes. If you follow the naming conventions, the code will be able to "call" the appropriate image file.

IBM defers New Coke financing
Launching a new server platform of any kind in this economic environment is never an attractive option - unless it costs a lot less money than the alternatives. With mainframes, just being a lot cheaper than last year's model is progress, and with the System z10 Business Class entry mainframes announced this week, IBM has cut …
Why the Special deal?
As stated in the article, this is not a free trial – the customer has to commit to the purchase now (so this is just a simple deferred payment). If the technology doesn't deliver the expected benefits, then the customer is stuck with the additional hardware (IFL, zAAP or zIIP). Can the customer use the special low-priced memory for anything else?
The saving is only on speciality engines and associated memory. What happens about the rest of the cost – physical frame, channels, real engines, other memory and maintenance costs?
And why would any customer want to migrate onto Linux on a proprietary mainframe technology?
Even with the special deals, the mainframe is still only really usable a Linux consolidation platform where you want to consolidate hundreds of low utilisation servers or workloads with dissimilar peaks. If you have a workload with high utilisations at the same time then mainframe is a very expensive solution.
The Linux on Mainframe advocates are very careful to make sure that engine speeds are not compared between mainframe and other architectures. The reason is simple – the mainframe is excellent for "data" processing – it is not so good for highly-computational workloads. Compare a 2098 mainframe with an Intel or AMD "PC" processor and see what has the best "MIPS"?
The key comment from Red Hat and Novell is about "uniqueness of the mainframe and the relatively small customer base". How many real, live, Linux on Mainframe customers are there?
It must be about 10 years since the first "Linux on Mainframe" offering. How many customers are really running large amounts of IBM mainframe capacity for Linux? I am not talking about single IFLs – but large n-way systems. Whenever sales start dropping IBM starts banging the old "Linux on Mainframe drum".
So I see this as just another joint marketing effort from IBM, Novell and Red Hat. I would recommend that any IBM customer wanting to really go Linux on Mainframe could negotiate a better deal themselves (IBM used to give IFLs away for nothing to increase the "notional" install base).
Alternatively customers looking for Linux on mainframe for consolidation should also look at other options that do not necessarily require a Linux conversion?
