With CM Punk leaving WWE due to unhappiness, a lot of eyes have now focused on Alberto Del Rio, who has openly talked about leaving the company whenever he is upset with the way that his character is being utilized. The belief is that he is unhappy about being fed to Batista.
Aside from half hearted programs with Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio really has not been given a full program by WWE to work with since wrestling John Cena at Survivor Series 2013. However, the feeling backstage is that Del Rio is assured a spot at Wrestlemania 30 to draw in the Spanish media.
Batista won Royal Rumble 2014 by eliminating Roman Reigns in the end. Other contestants during the match were Alberto Del Rio, Alexander Rusev, Antonio Cesaro, Big E Langston, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, El Torito, Erick Rowan, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Jack Swagger, JBL, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Kane, Kevin Nash, Kofi Kingston, Luke Harper, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Ryback, Seth Rollins, Sheamus and the Miz.
"And I really wish Edge were still here. It killed me when I was out injured and he ended up having that final match with Alberto Del Rio. He was there while I was with the Nexus and he was just such a joy to be around. He's a good human being and just knew so much. He was always helping. Its guys like that that I wish were around still."
- Ryback on the retirement of Edge
While the initial plans had him working a match against Sin Cara, WWE may have changed their mind on how to use Rey Mysterio at Wrestlemania 30. There are those within the company that are now leaning towards him working a match against Alberto Del Rio with his mask on the line.
Former world heavyweight champion Alberto Del Rio has been takng some time away from the wrestling ring recently because of a concussion, but he's set to make his return to WWE this week during a live event in New York City.
While he won't be utilized in the main event title picture again any time soon, WWE still views Alberto Del Rio as a valuable marketing asset. The former world champion was one of the handful of wrestlers who were on hand for the Wrestlemania 31 press conference.
John Cena, Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus, Mark Henry, Big Show, Fandango, Great Khali, R Truth, Bella Twins, Summer Rae, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H were all in attendance at the Wrestlemania 31 press conference in Santa Clara.
While management is trying to elevate Sin Cara, WWE opted not to include his match and victory against Alberto Del Rio on the Hulu broadcast of Monday Night Raw, leading some to wonder just how serious they are about this push.
The long list of WWE performers who suffered concussions in 2013 has grown a little bit longer, as Alberto Del Rio has been injured during his match against Sin Cara on Monday Night Raw. The website has reported that he will need time off.
Many have noticed Alberto Del Rio has been demoted by WWE, as he went from a World Heavyweight Championship program with John Cena to losing a Monday Night Raw match against Sin Cara.
Despite being given a big win over Alberto Del Rio, Sin Cara had his return match removed on the Hulu broadcast of Monday Night Raw by WWE.
Many were predicting John Cena to successfully defend the World title against Alberto Del Rio at Survivor Series, and WWE did not stray from that. Cena dodged the arm breaker and hit the Attitude Adjustment for the pin fall victory.
"Yes, of course. I'm Mexican. I grew up watching him. I saw him several times before he came to WWE or any other company in the US. He wrestled for years and years in Mexico, especially in Ciudad Juarez. I've always admired him. He started from the bottom and at the end of his career he was one of the most amazing, most popular Superstars in the world."
In order to give him a little bit of momentum heading into the Survivor Series, Alberto Del Rio was given a victory over Santino Marella on WWE Main Event this week.
The belief within WWE is that Alberto Del Rio will not be winninng the World Heavyweight Championship back anytime soon.
Advertisements for Wrestlemania 30 are being focused on John Cena, Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio and Mark Henry.
Alberto Del Rio revealed on Twitter that this is the first time that he has gotten to spend Halloween with his kids.

Pill Mill Crackdown Has Addicts Switching to Heroin
February 21, 2013 | WMFE - The state of Florida has been successfully cracking down on so-called "pill mills" for the last two years, but there are unintended consequences. Police and drug treatment professionals are reporting a rise in heroin use in Central Florida, as prescription painkillers become harder for addicts to obtain.
Three years ago, there were an estimated 900 storefront pain clinics in the state. The following year, that number had been cut in half. State law enforcement officials say they have seen a sharp drop in sales of Oxycodone, the most widely abused prescription painkiller.
Treatment professionals say some people who are addicted to drugs like Oxycodone find those clinics closed and turn to the streets, where prices for the pills have tripled or quadrupled. Ultimately, some turn to drugs like heroin, says Todd Dixon of Orlando's Center for Drug Free Living.
He says the group's treatment center has seen more people seeking help for heroin addiction.
"Individuals who were addicted have two choices - they seek treatment, or they change to a more readily available drug, and that eventually leads to heroin and other opiates," Dixon says.
Law enforcement officials say Mexican drug cartels have apparently stepped up production and distribution to make heroin that "more readily available drug" in central and south Florida.
Dixon says the abuse of prescription drugs has caused a number of overdose deaths, but he believes heroin use can be even worse, because the illegal substance is only available from street dealers and there is no way to know how powerful - or toxic - a given dose might be.
He says addicts who try to quit using heroin without help face agonizing and possibly deadly withdrawal symptoms.
"Opioid withdrawal without medical care is dangerous," Dixon says. "It's very easy for the individual to either end up in the emergency room or die."
He says people who formerly got their pain drugs at a pharmacy with a doctor's prescription may find themselves prowling potentially dangerous streets looking for heroin.

SONY XBR series is the best. Samsungs are better than other Sony series.
SONY KDL-46XBR5, KDL-40XBR4, Samsung LNT4065F or LNT4665F for 1080p resolution and
Samsung LNT4042H, LNT4642H, LNT4053H or LNT4653H for 1080i/720p resolution are great. I had spent a month research online and window shopping at bestbuy, circuitcity and J&R. I went with Samsung and I am happy with it for the price. I didn't want to pay Sony for twice the price of Samsung.
Check Fry's or Amazon for better deals.
I would say Sony as well...I have a 46" and it's not even an XBR or 1080p..and i love it..
Thanks for the input, I decided to go with a Toshiba Regza 42" 1080p, with 3 hdmi inputs.

I have a 40" Samsung 1080p LCD and a friend has the Sony 40" 1080p. In my opinion there is definately a difference in PQ between the two sets with favor toward the samsung. Playing xbox 360 also seems to be better on the Samsung.
Only thing I don't like about the new models of samsung is that they switched to a glossy screen, so in improper lighting conditions you may see reflections.
My other friend has a 42" Sharp Aquos 1080p and that is an absolutely stunning TV for the price and gives my Sammy a run for its money. If I were you I'd get the Sharp, since you get 2 more inches(42 v. 40) and the quality is outstanding.
sharps are pretty good, they also have a one dead/stuck pixel policy
I have a Sony KDL-46XBR3. IMHO nothing comes close. Not in LCD or Plasma. But, they are spendy. You can get other brands the same size for a lot less money.

Have you considered a DLP rear projection TV? You can get a much larger screen for a much lower price. I am considering purchasing a 57" Mitsubishi 1080P DLP for less than $1500.
If you're looking budget, I have two Westinghouse LCDs and am very happy with the performance per dollar for each.
You can probably get a 1080p 42" Westinghouse for a grand less than the big names. Their picture quality might be slightly less, but not noticeably, and haven't had any issues with either.

Bedroom: Samsung HPR-4252, Toshiba HD-A2, HK 3480, Signal Cable, AQ speaker cable, Totem Dreamcatchers, SVS PB10-NSD, URC MX-850
IMO if you want the best get an xbr if you have a budget the TOshiba and LG models look real good this year
I have to say i have the 32 inch version of this...
price to performance you really cant beat it. heres the 1080p version:

Other Stuff in Use

+1 for Sony.
You can save some cash by not buying 1080p as depending on the size, you will not notice the difference and to add to that HD tv is in 720p.

Rocky Mountain has, arguably, some of the nicest mountain bikes in the business. They have taken that same love of high performance purpose driven bicycles and applied it to their road bike line. The Rocky Mountain Solo 90 RSL is aimed at the rider looking for maximum performance from their bike to carry them during spirited training rides, century rides or racing every weekend.
The Rocky Mountain Solo 90 RSL's frame sits on top of the line of road frames for Rocky Mountain Bicycles. Unlike the other models, the Rocky Mountain Solo 90 RSL has a Super Hi-Modulus SL Carbon Monocoque frame. The beauty of carbon fiber is the ability to "tune" the carbon fiber to reach a desired ride quality. That is how the Rocky Mountain Solo 90 RSL can remains stiff enough to transfer power, but supple enough to minimize the constant road chatter that filters up from the road. The "S" bend seat stays at the rear of the bike help gain more vertical compliance to help reduce the road shock to your body. Carbon fiber is also prevalent on the front end of the bike with a tapered head tube for stiffness and a carbon fiber fork that also dampens road chatter but stay stiff enough to keep you tracking straight and true.
Rocky Mountain had high performance in mind when they put together the components on the Solo 90 RSL. Shimano Ultegra is so close to Dura-Ace in performance that blindfolded you would have a hard time telling the difference. The dual control Shimano Ultegra shifters/brake levers will give you crisp shifting and also a one finger squeeze will pull the brakes hard enough to stop you from any speed. Carbon FSA Team Issue compact cranks add a bit more carbon to the Rocky Mountain Solo 90 RSL and the 50/34 chainring combination will let you spin effortlessly up any climb.
The Rocky Mountain Solo RSL is built for high performance from a builder that knows how to execute high performance. Throw some race-specific wheels on and you are ready to be the terror of your crit series or road race. If you are looking for a race ready machine that can take on anything that comes it's way, jump on the Rocky Mountain Solo 90 RSL and ride away from the pack.

Each Rocky Mountain complete bike includes free professional assembly by Jenson USA. Prior to shipping your bike, we will completely build and tune it, just as we would for an in-store purchase. Then, we'll partially disassemble and carefully pack your bike for shipping. Please allow 3 business days for the bike build process prior to shipment.
When your bike arrives, it will take about 30 minutes to unpack and perform basic re-assembly tasks (such as installing the front wheel and seatpost) using common hand tools. Jenson USA has created a helpful video (below) to guide you through this process. Stuck? Please call us at (888) 880-3811 and we'll be happy to help.

No big loss for me on the eliminated's this week. I was hoping it would not be a NEL just because Tall Guy was so boring.
I also wonder if there will be a future issue with Long Hair and the sewage. We didn't even see him step into it, yet they made a big deal out of telling us about it, and him using the sanitizer. So I was wonder if they had to do that because he gets ill in the next few episodes or something. Guess we shall see. But about that AND the rat challenge!
I completely missed how the teams ended up not completing the final task right that Phil couldn't check in the Monster Truckers, and then Teams telling everyone what they were doing wrong. And i still didn't pick it up what they did wrong. Did they go to the wrong place to catch the boat or something?

Before you even embark on a weight loss program, you need to establish some sensible guidelines and rules. Bad plans lead to failure so doesn't it make sense to begin your weight loss program with a good plan? It's assumed that weight loss is "hard" because few succeed. Very few pinpoint weight loss failure due to crappy planning and bogus information.
The biggest problem I see on this board is a basic lack of health education. The second biggest problem I see on this board is the assumption that doctors will tell us what we need to know.
What's the Best Weight Loss "Tip"?
Stop assuming everything is "safe" (just because you see it in a store)!
For our children's sake, please stop relying on "tips" and teach them healthy fundamentals, instead.
Because, without a good health plan, how successful do you expect them to be?
PS: One more question...With the drought that's sweeping our country and destroying farm crops, how will that impact the quality of the food at the "healthy" restaurants I regularly eat at?
Best Weight loss tip ? Buy a scale, and make sure your weight is the same or lower each week.
How to control or lose weight? First, start to become more active, even if it is only walking. If you are heavy, you will get stronger, build muscle, and begin to use more fat for energy.
A co-worker went from 340 lbs to 170 in 3 years with this simple plan.
a healthy diet for a healthy normal weight person is has about 4 ounces of protein 3 times a day, and a variety of complex carbs, plus fruits and vegetables. Stable weight will maintain.
Exercise is recommended at 2,200 calories a week, equal to three one mile walks daily of 15 to 20 minutes.
Exercise to lose weight involves diet portion control. You can't lose weight if you are still gaining by over-eating. Keep a food and weight diary for one month, so you know what you eat and if your weight is going up. Different people have different metabolisms. Know your body.
Once your weight is stable, any amount of exercise will help you slowly lose weight. Its much easier to eat 3000 calories extra in a day, than to exercise off 3,000 calories in a week. So hand to mouth exercise reduction with a fork is the first thing to think about. Doing LESS.
About eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day. Or juice or tea or coffee. Do not force down extra liquid.
You get enough sleep if you do not need an alarm clock, and wake up at the same time every day.
for a small person, 1 glass of wine a day, a large person, two.
Or any single serving as a glass. Wine is a glass at five ounces, not 10.
Eat a balanced diet, you'll hardly need any medications or vitamins.
take antibiotics when a doctor tells you to. All of them.
Eat fresh foods when possible. the were containers the better.
If it smells odd, its not good news.
no hydrogenated oils. none. Its the additives more than the packaging.
the less stress the better. pure and simple.
with age you will lose muscle and fat. The muscle loss will slow your metabolism, and make life difficult. So exercise to slow that down. Dress warmer.
Personally, I found eating a very low fat diet for heart disease boosted my immune system. your mileage may vary.
Eat colorful fruits and veggies, herbs and spices. Not much meat. Fresh food when possible. Move. You'll be dead and buried sooner if you don't.
When you diet, you lower your body's metabolism. It will not go up unless you build lots of muscle, so weight gain will occur faster. That's why slim people who exercise can eat and eat to keep from losing weight.
Don't worry about drought. Worry about eating healthy foods in moderation, and getting enough exercise to help you sleep soundly, and have energy for a fun life.
As a general observation, people, today, have an insufficient amount of muscle on their body...
As a result, fat tends to collect and remain. As a result, they become overweight.
Post after post, I read the same comment: "I hardly eat, I exercise all the time, yet, I can't lose a pound..."
Of course! All they focus on are calories...All they focus on is what to eat..they all talk about exercise...
But, there's no talk of building muscle mass..."Oh, I don't want to look too muscular..."
The problem most people have on "Diet" boards is they tend to lose too much muscle when they lose weight. In a successful weight loss program, muscle must be retained at all cost. Muscle is essential to stabilizing and controlling weight...
Look at what happens to people that have had Gastric Bypass surgery....They drop 100-200 pounds in less than 24 months and then what? Train wreck...Post after post, the same train wreck, over and over, again. Why?
They were so enamored at dropping 3 pounds a week, without maintaining a vigorous muscle maintenance program...In the end, they lost all the valuable muscle needed to stabilize their body weight. Their bodies, composition-wise, is completely unbalanced.
Dr. Peeke is correct when she says its a reduction of % body fat that's the goal; not weight loss.
Body builders, routinely, shed as much as 8-10% bodyfat in a three month training period just before a big meet. If you examine how they do this, it is nothing like what 99% of the people who frequent these boards do. Not even remotely close...
and, yet, this is how it should be, because it is muscle that prevents insulin insensitivity...and, that in turn, prevents Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity.
A final comment...We must make PE, mandatory, K-12. We must prevent idiot parents from preventing the re-institution of
daily exercise and sports in our schools. As a society, as it pertains to health, we must acknowledge that we don't know what the hell we're doing and simply take it on faith...
It is essential kids build muscle during their developing years.
My weight loss pill would build muscle.
How many athletes at these London Olympic Games are obese or have Type 2 Diabetes?
Its all about muscle, baby.
I wish I'd known about muscle loss when first starting out 1.5 years ago. I dove into it like most women: eating a ridiculously low amount of calories while doing cardio until I puked. Rinse. Repeat. Who needs weights? I didn't want to look like a man, after all! And it worked. I lost 105 pounds.
Lo and behold, 105 pounds less of me, and I was not happy with my sloppy, floppy body. Not exactly what I'd envisioned my body looking like after so much work.
I did some research. Found out AFTER the fact that if not done right, 20-30% of weight loss can come from muscle! What?! I'd lost 20-30 pounds of muscle? No wonder. I was weak. And grumpy. And HATED my new-found body.
I am proud to say I have not lost a SINGLE pound since January! Inches? Yes! (gained in some places...) Clothing size? Went down two! I fell in love with my upper arms, which have always been an embarassment of mine. I have muscles! And I don't look like a man Loose skin is tightening up, giving me hope that I won't need a tummy tuck after all. I've stopped the affair with my scale. And I EAT! It's wonderful. No more starving. No more obsessing over every little calorie. I can eat, without guilt, because I know I'm eating good, healthy foods that are going to repair my body.
All this because I started weight lifting.
I don't even care if I lose my last 10 pounds to get to my "goal". The only weight I care about is what's on the end of my barbell.
So my best weight loss tip?
Pick up something heavy. Put it down. Pick it up again
And I'm not talking piddly little dumbbells! I started with them but moved on quickly. I'm pretty sure I could give an average man a run for his money in the weight room now. Though look a lot better doing it
Thank you so much for contributing. That is perhaps the best success post I have ever read.
Unless a woman is XXY, or takes steroids, or otherwise has excess testosterone, she can not become manly in musculature. It ... just ... won't ... happen.
The safest weight training adds about 5% in weight every three weeks. Joint and connective tissue then gain in fibrous connective capacity, and people won't risk muscle tears or tears in connective tissue from the muscle or the bone.
If that seems too little, it isn't since it will allow you to double in strength year by year. Injuries cause people to lose about 3% or so of strength week by week. So better to avoid injury and setbacks, and just keep improving. Once people get hurt, they seldom back off enough, and re-injury then becomes the pattern. They then give up and think they can no longer train.
Over 50, recovery takes more like three days, than two as when younger, so the 5% period may be more like 4 weeks, and strength building is just 50% a year.
I am just getting past a hernia and repair surgery, my first major setback in 6 years after bypass surgery. Eight weeks backing off my routine, then 8 more weeks letting the incision heal. So 16 weeks first slowing down, then doing very little. Using my 3% a week formula, that translates to about a 50% training loss. And wakes me up to being very careful as I hit my cardio and weight work again. Makes sense. Two years ago I could shoot baskets and run around and it took an hour to get tired. Last week I was tired in just under 30 minutes doing the same thing. So I am on a 1 year recovery to get where I was pre hernia, safely.
Don't be afraid of a scale. You actually should be fascinated by your drop in bodyfat and muscle gain, and be proud of it. Women worry about the pounds instead of the percent body fat they have. The lower your body fat, in a normal range, the better you look, but you will also weigh more than another woman who appears bigger than you, since she is fluffy fat and and you are an athletic fit new woman.
Fat is about three times bulkier than muscle. So even if you gained 10 lbs of muscle, you likely lost 20 lbs of fat in the process, and have lost five times the bulk in fat relative to the muscle you gained.
So know your weight, and body fat percentage, and be proud of both. Too many women need lower body fat and more muscle.
what a great post weight lifting is the key to maintainance
I think because building some muscles can help you burn more calories thats a winner
I am all for starting slowly in weight lifting and being aware of form because if done wrong you can injure yourself
great thread overall
deadman walking and Bruno have some great input too
Hugs Judy:)
remember the gold isn;t in the prize it is in the journey!

The 1st Amendment needs to be modified to somehow penalize
stating things that are not true. In less polite circles, its called lying, misinformation, manipulation, or propaganda. And people resent it. People can be ridiculed and ostracized for being wrong.
But here being right or telling the truth is mocked and ridiculed way too much of the time.
I used my rowing machine for the first time since early June.
Tired in less time, 25 minutes or so, but strength was pretty good, much higher than expected. All the rest was at least good for all other things to be fully healed.
Without tiring, I started out with less warm-up, and still felt strong, but my heart rate was higher in that period by 10 beats or so. But using dumbbells, I can definitely tell the individual loss of strength in my arms and shoulders, and know my legs are weaker, too.
I have to be patient to climb back to the previous fitness level, which was pretty high.
I've learned so much over the last 18 months. I don't answer on here often because I don't even know where to start! And most of the time, people don't really want to hear how I've done it because it doesn't involve a quick fix.
But if this post can urge even one person to pick up some weights, then good!
Down 105 pounds. EXCELLENT !
Have a goal look, and to feel great and energetic. Women tend to want to weigh too little. Remember if more athletic, you are going to be a little heavier but slimmer than a wimpy woman with more bodyfat. Strong muscular thighs, but relaxed so with smoother lines can be far sexier than excessively slim legs.
Good energy and strong posture are incredibly sexy.
You should just begin to describe what you did. But you could or should start your own weight loss and exercise community forum. Don't be shy. With 70% of the population severely overweight, your story and methods need to be available, and you with answers, just as I am. Hopefully using good sound methods.
"...One is body composition -- the ratio of fat to muscle. Muscle is critical to controlling blood sugar because it is metabolically active, uses insulin, and burns sugars and calories.
"The muscle-versus-fat ratio is extremely important for diabetes development as well as health outcomes related to diabetes," Carnethon says..."
Although the findings in this study are quite surprising, there is some speculation as to why...
Fitness is more important than fatness. People can be thin but unfit (gastric bypass extreme weight loss) and people can be fat and fit (muscular).
If they substantiate this to be true, then this raises significant hope for people, big or small, of all BMI levels. If you're not sure about becoming active or boosting your level of physical activity because you're afraid of getting hurt, the good news is that moderate-intensity aerobic activity, like brisk walking, is generally safe for most people.

Before Fairfax County's world-renowned Urban Search and Rescue Team assists in major disasters — such as Hurricane Sandy — there is a lot of preparing and waiting involved. Much of that occurs in a nondescript industrial-style building in Chantilly.
On Monday, the 80-member team — many of whom had been up through much of the night — prepared to deploy to Fort Dix, N.J., to assist in recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. They departed on buses shortly before noon, and only found out minutes before leaving where they would be going to wait for recovery efforts. The amount of time they'll be gone is still unknown, and will largely depend on how long the hurricane lasts.
"We expect to be gone from two days to 14 days," said Battalion Chief Chris Schaff, the program manager.
The team started preparing on Friday, though the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) only officially activated the task force yesterday. The team needs to be ready to deploy within six hours if needed. On Monday, team members waited inside the enormous, largely empty concrete building on Flint Lee Road, as rain and winds around 25 miles per hour were gusting outside. Members each packed up cold weather gear, a few personal items and rescue equipment. Search and rescue dogs huddled in vehicles outside until it was time to leave.
Virginia Task Force One consists of firefighters, paramedics, doctors, canine handlers, and a host of other highly skilled professionals, each trained in a capacity that can help during a disaster. They're capable of working up to 14 days without additional support, according to a Fairfax County news release.
When the word came that the team would ultimately head to Fort Dix, the members picked up their bags and the majority were in the buses within minutes. They do not know yet where they will ultimately wind up. Fort Dix is just the staging area where they'll launch their efforts to help the hardest-hit areas after the hurricane. They will bring inflatable boats and trucks full of supplies with them. Meanwhile, another team will stay in Fairfax County to assist with efforts at home during the hurricane.
Follow Patch for more information about the search and rescue team's efforts after Hurricane Sandy.

I need some help in selecting between these 2 power conditioners.
1) Belkin PureAV PF30 (around $90 on buy.com)
2) Monster Power HTS3500MKII (around $170 on buy.com)
I got a really bad voltage fluctuation last evening, all the light in my house went really dim and I thought I was going to get a power outage. But instead everything went rather dim and then it got back to normal. This scared me like hell! I thought it's really time to invest in a power conditioner to protect my gear. We've had a lot of conversation about power conditioners in this forum and a lot of folks have good experience with them and so I was wonder if anyone could suggest if the $170 price tag on the Monster Power HTS3500 is worth the additional amount compared to the Belkin PF30.
Also, if anyone's had the Monster power conditioner listed about and if they've been happy with the performance.
Thanks a lot!!!

Blizzard Planning Pseudo-LAN Support for StarCraft 2, Diablo 3 to Follow Suitby Nick Breckon, Aug 22, 2009 3:39pm PDT
Battle.net developer Greg Canessa says that Blizzard is actively working on a LAN-like solution to include for Battle.net play in StarCraft II.
"We are working on solutions with regard to things we can do to maintain connectivity to Battle.net in some way, but also provide a great quality connection between players," said Canessa.
Blizzard recently announced that traditional LAN play would not be included in the game, with offline play only being allowed in the singleplayer campaign.
I asked Canessa whether the solution his team is working on might include a pseudo-LAN connection, where the game would only check in with Battle.net to authenticate before reverting to typical LAN behavior.
"Something like that," he replied. "Maintaining a connection with Battle.net, I don't know if it's once or periodically, but then also having a peer-to-peer connection between players to facilitate a very low-ping, high-bandwidth connection.. those are the things that we're working on."
Diablo III lead designer Jay Wilson also confirmed that Diablo III will treat LAN in the same way that StarCraft II does, meaning that while traditional offline LAN will not be included in that game, it should support any Battle.net solution developed for the RTS.

Emerging capital markets play an increasingly vital role in the global economy by opening up international supply and lower costs of capital, affirms ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) today in two reports.
The Rise of Capital Markets in Emerging and Frontier Economies and Making Capital Markets Work in Emerging and Frontier Economies are both launched during ACCA's Council visit to East Africa.
The first report reviews the academic literature on the development of capital markets, while the other is a collection of first-hand accounts and case studies from senior managers and professionals spearheading market development.
Speaking at a press conference in Uganda, where the reports were launched, Dean Westcott, ACCA's President said: 'Capital markets play an important role in promoting robust economic activity. Emerging capital markets are clearly an increasingly important source of finance to business. Broadening participation in company ownership, especially where the needs of minority shareholders are concerned, requires clear corporate governance, a responsiveness to the many needs of investors, consideration of independent representation on the company board and transparency of decision-making in the interests of all investors and wider stakeholders.'
Dean Westcott added: 'Developing capital markets need increasingly transparent corporate governance and ethical business approaches to encourage investor confidence. And in the future, we are sure that environmental, social and governance reporting are likely to become part of a broadening landscape of corporate disclosure and reporting.'
ACCA says that this complexity in market structures leads to a need for increasingly sophisticated financial management, which means that finance functions have to rise to the challenge and play a more central role in governance, risk and compliance, alongside financial reporting and management accounting.
Dean Westcott continued: 'Such complexity requires an organisation that is externally-focused, with its aims focused on building investor confidence and capable of delivering performance targets which bring shareholder value – and being able to measure and provide assurance on what shareholders value.'
ACCA believes that capacity building around financial systems is essential. This allows capital markets to enable the most promising firms – both large and small – to source funds more cheaply and reliably than would otherwise be possible. But in order to do this, these firms need access to reliable financial information, which in turn depends on the skills and competences of professional accountants.
Dean Westcott said: 'It is pleasing to see fledgling capital markets succeed, but as an accountancy body, it is important for us to understand how the profession can help support these developments further and promote financial knowledge and understanding.
'Investors cannot be expected to assume the risk that comes with investing in what is often a novel and illiquid asset class without the best quality information possible; and they cannot be expected to participate in markets where crucial information remains private. This is why policymakers and the accountancy profession around the world have long championed the value of disclosure and assurance and must continue to do so.'
Mr Westcott concluded: 'Our reports show that the perceived strength of accounting and auditing standards is a leading indicator of the health of capital markets and a strong predictor of their ability to drive economic growth. While the financial crisis of 2008–9 dented confidence in disclosures in developed markets, emerging markets have seen perceptions slowly recover and, perhaps as importantly, converge.
'The less developed frontier markets, on the other hand, are not keeping up, meaning that some of the most promising economies in the world may soon not have the capital markets to match their dynamism. This is a risk that we can't afford to take.'

Additional Background
- Both reports are available from the 'Related Links' section, to the left of this article.
- The case studies included in 'Making Capital Markets Work in Emerging and Frontier Economies' show how the path to capital market development can sometimes be rocky, but confirms that policymakers and the accountancy profession can help build capacity and stability.
- While focused primarily on Africa, the reports also includes stories of how capital markets have been built and sustained in the Caribbean and Cambodia.
Financial Literacy and Capacity Building
- One of the case studies in the 'Making Capital Markets Work' report is of a project by the Ugandan Capital Markets Authority, which has been working with ACCA to develop and deliver a training scheme for journalists reporting on the financial markets.
- The scheme, now replicated in neighbouring Kenya, enables journalists to communicate clearly what can be a highly technical subject, giving retail investors a sounder basis on which to make decisions. Confident retail investors in turn lead to more liquid and efficient capital markets.
- Capacity building around financial system is essential. ACCA estimates that nearly half (48%) of its membership in non-OECD countries work in financial centres; to improve their work prospects in the long run, ACCA works with governments and regulators around the world to promote market growth and develop capacity.
- ACCA has been supporting the work of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) about capacity building in emerging economies, stating that high quality accounting, financial reporting and auditing can play a crucial role in improving economic performance around the world.
- 'The Rise of Capital Markets in Emerging and Frontier Economies' reviews a compelling body of evidence to argue that improved disclosure is one of the few sustainable means of attracting liquidity to capital markets without sacrificing stability and sustainability.
- Both papers conclude that in emerging and frontier economies, there is no room for relaxing disclosure and assurance requirements.

With lengthy service intervals and long-life components, vehicle maintenance is kept to a minimum. In the case of the oil filter, for example, all that's replaced is an easily recoverable paper element. The oil filter casing remains on the car.
All moving parts inside the engine are fully self-adjusting. The valve clearances, for instance, feature automatic hydraulic control.
Thanks to single-spark coils on each of the cylinders, the entire ignition system on the petrol-engined models, with the exception of the spark plugs, is maintenance-free.
These modest service requirements mean less waste disposal and fewer demands on natural resources. They also lower the cost of ownership while keeping your car on the road.
Service intervals for the Cayenne models are dependent on a range of factors, including local fuel quality. For full details of service intervals in your country, please consult the relevant price list or contact your Porsche Centre.
Owning a Porsche should be a lasting pleasure with minimal impact on the environment. This Porsche principle can be summed up in one word: sustainability. The lightweight exhaust on the Cayenne models, for example, is constructed from long-life stainless steel.
Every Porsche model is entirely free of CFCs and components manufactured using CFCs. All legal requirements in respect of recoverability are fulfilled. Materials are clearly labelled for subsequent identification and sorting to facilitate efficient recycling.
While more than 95% of the car can be recycled using current technologies, the chances are your Cayenne may never need recycling at all. After all, two thirds of all the cars we have ever made are still on the road today.
