March 9th, 2014, 20:37 Posted By: wraggsterPlayStation 4 sells another 65k in Sony's native market The new Harvest Moon game stole number one in Japan last week, despite Knack continuing to benefit from its status as a PlayStation 4 pack-in. Harvest Moon: Tsunagaru Shin Tenchi sold just over 130,000 units on the 3DS, affirming its place as one of Marvelous AQL's most popular franchises. Knack sold more than 66,000 in its second week.

March 9th, 2014, 19:54 Posted By: wraggsterI go to secondary school in the UK. I went digging around the computers there and found that on the schools machines, there was a root CA from the school. I then suspected that the software they instruct windows users to install on their own hardware to gain access to the BYOD network installed the same certificate. I created a windows virtual machine and connected to the network the way that was recommended. Immediately afterwards I checked the list of root CA's, and found my school's. I thought the story posted a few days ago was bad, but what my school has done is install their certificate on people's own machines which I think is far worse. This basically allows them to intercept and modify any HTTPS traffic on their network. Considering this is a boarding school, and our only method of communicating to the outside world is over their network, I feel this is particularly bad. We were not told about this policy and we have not signed anything which would excuse it. I confronted the IT department and they initially denied everything. I left and within five minutes, the WiFi network was down then as quickly as it had gone down, it was back up. I went back and they confirmed that there was a mistake and they had 'fixed' it. They also told me that the risk was very low and the head of networks told me he was willing to bet his job on it. I asked them to instruct people to remove the bad certificate from their own machines, but they claimed this was unnecessary due to the very low risk. I want to take this further but to get the school's management interested I will need to explain what has happened and why it is bad to non-technical people and provide evidence that what has been done is potentially illegal.". http://news.slashdot.org/story/14/03...ling-a-root-ca

March 4th, 2014, 01:20 Posted By: wraggsterIntroduction It wasnt until our close family friends went to Walt Disney World back in 2004 did i really take notice of the theme parks in America, i was very content with going to the likes of the American Adventure and Alton Towers, one was 20 minutes from my house and although a small park it did have enough to make a great day especially when the park wasnt full. Alton Towers however was Britains biggest theme park and you really need to be lucky to get a slow day when you werent queueing for an age. As good as the UK parks are they are nothing compared to the likes of Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando. Starting Off Choosing the Right Tour Operator such as Virgin or Thomson should be your first step, you may get cheaper options but the flight can be a killer, remember to go to the USA you have to book in 3 hours before you depart, then you have a 9 hour flight, paying that bit more is a neccessity, you can fly with the likes of Cosmos/Monarch or Thomas Cook but for quality of service and hidden extras then Virgin or Thomson are your best options. From the start you need to know that a 2 Week stay in Orlando is going to be expensive, depending on the time of year, if say 4 or 5 of you are going heres a typical breakdown. Cost of Holiday - £5000 and thats the minimum, we paid this for a 3 bedroomed villa, a hotel in Disney or Universal resorts would be majorly more to pay for, you can opt for a cheaper hotel but be wary and always read reviews. Different times of the year can be vastly more expensive too. Cost of Car Hire - £500 - Be warned that "free" car hire only pays for the very basic insurances and you will be paying a lot more on top, do your homework when booking, make sure you have the very best insurance, like in this country you need to be protected. Cost of theme Park Tickets £2000 - If your going to do both Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, SeaWorld and also Busch Gardens your going to be paying around £400 each for the combined tickets. Spending Money - For 4/5 of you your going to need at least £110 a day to pay for food and drinks, somedays you may not spend this much but you may also overspend. Petrol for the car you should budget for at least 3 tankfuls in 2 weeks, i would say £130 for that. Now thats roughly £1600 but in Orlando they have the Premium Villas where you get designer clothes at Bargain Prices, bring as much money as you can but watch the weight and keep the tags on the majority of what you buy, you are allowed to bring back a fair amount but if you go over your weight or are silly and bring back 20 ipads then your gonna get stopped by customs. I would say go for a minimum of £3000 for food/petrol and spends. So in all budget for around £11000. The Flight Part The2nd to worst part of the holiday is flying and on the 4 times we have flown we had one terrible and 3 OK flights. Virgin or Thomson should be the best options for you, make sure to get quotes from both to see which is best, what i will say is that Virgin were easily the best and the added extras made up massively for any extra costs. The flight journey on our Virgin Plane was great, decent movies, good space and good food too and with staff that were very pleasent and went that extra inch that you needed. The Airport and Finding Your Location Depending on which airport you land at is where the fun begins, Sanford is a smaller airport but further away from Orlando and Orlando International is much closer but also massive. If you land at Sanford or Orlando and have a shuttle waiting for you then move to next chapter. If your renting a car then read on, first thing about car rental is that the folks behind the desk will hard sell you an upgrade, refuse at all costs and just say we will check our car first and if its too small then we will come back to you, you will get fleeced for money otherwise, be strong. If you go with the likes of Alamo then youll get to pick from a load of cars in the same class as the one you have hired, good tip is to go for one with a big boot , If your at Sanford then you need to head to the I4 Motorway and if you havent drove in the USA then it will be a shock for you, its like a free for all, keep to the speedlimit but go into the middle lane, because they enter in the slow lane to us your well advised to keep away from that. On the large roads in the USA they drive like on a race circuit, if you think idiots in Britain drove bad you aint seen nothing, they overtake, undertake, last second lane changes, be on your guard at all times, if you have a sat nav use it. Like in britain if you see a dodgy area then avoid it. Accomadation If your in a hotel just make sure the room is decent first, if not complain and asked to be moved. If your in a Villa youll either register that night or the next morning, if there is any problems report them straight away, if you paid for a top notch villa and it isnt then complain and ask to be moved. If you have a safe in the Villa use it, if it has an alarm make sure to use that also. The Parks The Theme Parks in Orlando are the best in the World, i could go on for hours, big tips are to try all of them if only for a day each, ill do each park one at a time. Magical Kingdom This is where you pinch yourself, the dream has come true, rides to see are Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain and thats just a few, awesome park especially for younger children. Epcot Very much an underrated park, this has two massive rides in Test Drive and Soarin but so much more including a park on its own with rides/buildings and shops from many regions of the world. Animal Kingdom The rapids and Expedition Everest are a must to ride on here, my least favourite out of the Disney parks but still decent. Disneys Hollywood studios Here youll find Tower of Terror, The Aerosmith Roller Coaster and Star Wars Star Tours, Toy Story, Indiana Jones Show and Backlot Tour and a heck of a lot more. Disneys Water Parks Out of all the water parks in Orlando the 2 Disney water parks are by far the best, they cater for the young up to those who are thrill seekers and theres even some water coasters too. Seaworld In my opinion a one visit day only park, good for shows like Shamu and theres one ride similiar to Soarin that i went on once but never found it again. The Universal Orlando Parks Universal Studios You will die and go to heaven here, The Mummy is one of the best rollercoasters in the world, ET, Men in Black, Simpsons Ride are just a few of the world class rides here, quite simply a must visit. Islands of Adventure Another dream park, The Hulk Coaster, Spiderman, The rapids get you soaked, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter World are just some of whats here, visit it as soon as you can. Shopping The Theme Parks are world class but the shopping is too, you can get designer clothes at the sort of prices you would pay at a supermarket or primark in the UK, its the only place in the world i enjoy my shopping, the premium outlets at both ends of international drive make it a must visit location. The End Its not cheap to get to Orlando and but Theme Park Tickets but its so worth it, its much cheaper when you are here and the Parks, Eating out and the Shopping are better than anywhere in the world. Put it on your bucket list to do before you die, save up and live the dream that Walt Disney made for us.
March 3rd, 2014, 18:57 Posted By: wraggsterAndy Payne explains the importance of BAFTA's work with the industry [h=3]BAFTA[/h]BAFTA is the leading independent charity supporting, developing and promoting the art forms of the moving... bafta.org Rockstar Games is to be honoured by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) for its work in the industry, with the award to be presented at the new and improved British Academy Games Awards later this month. Co-founders Dan and Sam Houser will pick up the award along with Leslie Benzies and Aaron Garbut. GamesIndustry International spoke to Andy Payne, chairman of Mastertronic and partner at both AppyNation and Gambitious, about the new format for this year's British Academy Games Awards and the importance of BAFTA to the UK games industry. Q: In what way does BAFTA support the games industry? Andy Payne: BAFTA is a highly prestigious organisation and very trusted brand which recognises creativity in the moving image first and foremost. BAFTA have been taking games very seriously now for at least 10 years. Every year the Awards get bigger and better and winning a BAFTA shows that games are now as mainstream as films and TV shows. Having a BAFTA on the shelf is pretty awesome. Q: How do BAFTA recognise what is creative and boundary pushing in terms of games? Andy Payne: BAFTA have an amazing network of games industry helpers, many of whom are now members of BAFTA and all of who are involved in creating games. The games committee is headed by Chair, Harvey Elliott who sits on the main BAFTA board. Each member of the committee chairs a jury per award category and hand picks members of that jury. Each jury invests many, many hours into playing all of the long listed games and then meets to discuss and agree the nominations through a democratic voting process. This highly informed crowdsourced approach ensures neutrality and total focus on the creativity rather than the commercial success of any game. Q: In what way has BAFTA become a recognised authority in the games industry? Andy Payne: BAFTA have engaged with the games industry from the very start. They reached out, embraced and continue to iterate their activity and policy in games. BAFTA really is a facilitator to the games industry and has become an authority as a direct result of this approach. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...fta-fellowship

March 2nd, 2014, 00:22 Posted By: wraggsterThe UKs Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) intercepted and stored the webcam images of millions of internet users. The Guardian reports that in one six-month period, the GCHQ with aid from the US National Security Agency (NSA) collected webcam imagery from more than 1.8 million Yahoo user accounts. The publication reports that Yahoo reacted furiously when questioned about the revelation, denying any prior knowledge of the program. While the six-month period took place in 2008, last month it was revealed that the GCHQ and the NSA were harvesting data from Angry Birds to track suspected terrorists. The British spy agency said it would not comment on intelligence matters, but insisted that all of its activities were authorised, necessary and proportionate. http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/read/...m-users/033385
February 28th, 2014, 01:25 Posted By: wraggsterAnalysts have predicted that every consumer will be a gamer within the next six years, as virtual concepts progress a 'gamification' of real life. Members of IEEE, an organisation dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, predicted that 85 percent of everyday tasks will feature an integrated concept of gaming by 2020. While video games are seen mainly for their entertainment value in today's society, industries like healthcare, business and education will be integrating gaming elements into standard tasks and activities, making us all gamers, an IEEE statement explained. People will accrue points for regular tasks and each person's point cache will influence their position in society, and compliment their monetary wealth. "Social networks that encourage check-ins and stores with loyalty point programs are already utilizing gamification to grow their customer bases. Soon, game-like activities similar to these will be part of almost everything we do," commented Richard Garriott, an IEEE member who coined the term massively multiplayer online role-playing game or MMORPG. "Our mobile devices will be the hub for all of the 'games' we'll be playing throughout a normal day by tracking the data we submit and using it to connect everything." Examples suggested include the measurement of an individuals business success in game points, with promotions rewarded by accruing a certain amount of points, encouraging health check-ups and vaccinations by using the concept of real-life hit points and integrating gaming systems into schools to provide positive reinforcement. "A lot of technologies start in other industries and slip their way into gaming, which makes sense for the future of businesses," added Tom Coughlin, an IEEE senior member and technology consultant. "By 2020, however many points you have at work will help determine the kind of raise you get or which office you sit in. Outside factors will still be important, but those that can be quantified numerically will increasingly be tracked with 'game points'." "Humans, as mammals, learn more efficiently through play in which they are rewarded rather than other tests in which they are given demerits for mistakes," concluded Elena Bertozzi, another IEEE member and professor of digital game design and Development at Quinnipiac University. "It is a natural fit to teach through gaming, especially in areas of the world where literacy levels vary and human instinct can help people learn." http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/read/...by-2020/033365
February 28th, 2014, 00:50 Posted By: wraggsterTax Reform Act of 2014 drafters say they're withholding tax credits from violent game devs, but wording covers all software development American lawmakers aren't constitutionally allowed to block the sale of violent video games, but they're looking at other ways to discourage the industry from creating such titles. The House of Representative's Ways and Means Committee yesterday released its Tax Reform Act of 2014, which it said would make a research and development tax credit permanent except for companies that make violent video games. The Republican-led Ways and Means Committee's executive summary specifically lists the provision in a section under the heading, "Simplify Code and Lower Rates: Close Lobbyist Loopholes." The summary gives no indication as to what criteria would be used to define a video game as "violent." Even the 979-page draft of the legislation doesn't appear to have any such clause regarding video games. The closest the actual draft comes to addressing the issue is a line altering the tax code to specifically prohibit "any research with respect to computer software" from qualifying for the research credit. As noted by Washington Examiner columnist Ashe Schow, the violent game provision seems to be at odds with one of the Republicans' stated goals for the Tax Reform Act. As the executive summary claims on the page following its violent game exemption to the R&D tax credit, "The Tax Reform Act of 2014 stops the practice of using the tax code to pick winners and losers based on political power rather than economic merit..." It lists alternative energy credits (which would be eliminated under the proposed legislation) as one way the existing tax code seeks to pick winners. The Entertainment Software Association released a statement criticizing the move, saying, "This industry, like all software developers who would be impacted under this proposal, invests billions of dollars every year in research and development and this proposal threatens American technological advancement and economic growth. We look forward to continuing to educate policymakers on our societal and economic contributions and the need to preserve and expand this unique industry." http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...nt-game-makers
February 28th, 2014, 00:49 Posted By: wraggsterEuropean Commission meets with devs to improve consumer protections, wants them to stop calling games free if they have in-app purchases Complaints from consumers who unwittingly purchased in-game upgrades in free-to-play titles have become common enough that the European Commission is taking action on the matter. EC members are meeting with tech companies and national enforcement authorities today and tomorrow to go over concerns about consumer protections in the burgeoning market, the group announced today. "Consumers and in particular children need better protection against unexpected costs from in-app purchases," consumer policy commissioner Neven Mimica said in a statement. "National enforcement authorities and the European Commission are discussing with industry how to address this issue which not only causes financial harm to consumers but can also put at stake the credibility of this very promising market. Coming up with concrete solutions as soon as possible will be a win-win for all." The Consumer Protection Cooperation and EC member states have released a list of common positions on the subject, with misleading advertising at the top. "The use of the word 'free' (or similar unequivocal terms) as such, and without any appropriate qualifications, should only be allowed for games which are indeed free in their entirety, or in other words which contain no possibility of making in-app purchases, not even on an optional basis," the group said. Beyond that, the CPC and EC want developers to cut out any direct calls for purchasing in-game items (such as "Buy now!" or "Upgrade now!") in any title likely to appeal to children. On top of that, in-app purchases should not be made without the consumer's explicit consent, and all apps and app listings should prominently feature an e-mail address to which customers can direct questions before they decide to play or even download a title. The EC has said the purpose of the meetings is to make sure there's a common understanding between authorities and game companies on these subjects, but said it will work with national consumer rights enforcement bodies to follow through with any action deemed necessary. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...sing-in-europe

February 27th, 2014, 01:05 Posted By: wraggster Activision is closing its premium Call of Duty: Elite service, nearly two years after it racked up more than 10 million registered users and 2 million paid subscribers. The service that provides in-depth stats, social networking, and clan-based features for Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops 2 officially ceases to be on Friday, February 28 at 10AM PT/1PM ET. Despite that healthy subscription base - a year's membership cost $50 when Elite launched in 2011 - Activision made its services free alongside the launch of Black Ops 2 in 2012. The publisher then brought many of Elite's features forward to the companion app released for Call of Duty: Ghosts, and it's now encouraging users to download that app, perchance for future Duties such asthe one in development at Sledgehammer Games. Activision has a FAQ detailing what this all means in greater detail. As a means of thanks to those who used the service, the publisher is doling out two hours of Double XP in Ghosts to members who've logged into Elite since January 1, 2014. It's an altogether subdued end to a service that was trumpeted as "Activision getting in front of our players and leading them into the future of connected entertainment." http://www.joystiq.com/2014/02/26/ca...n-this-friday/
February 26th, 2014, 00:24 Posted By: wraggster Tomorrow, Lovefilm becomes Amazon Prime Instant Video, and unless you take advantage of the various early adopter discounts, it'll cost you an up-front annual fee of £79. On the upside, the company is pushing to add more TV shows to the service in the hope of clawing back some of Netflix's lost ground. First up, Amazon has signed a deal with Warner Bros. that'll see the first seasons of Arrow, The Following and Revolution appear on UK Prime within the next few days. The agreement will also see Hostages and The 100 appear in 2015, with subsequent seasons of all five shows added afterward. At the same time, the retailer has confirmed that UK users will be able to watch its original TV comedy Alpha House, which is a bit like House of Cards, but with more jokes. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/prime/pi...reLaunchPVDEUK
February 25th, 2014, 23:49 Posted By: wraggster EA COO Peter Moore is betting on a dominating role for digital revenue in video games. Speaking at the Digital Entertainment World conference, Moore said (via GI.biz) he expects digital sales to fully eclipse retail numbers in two years. He likened the rising prominence of downloads as a type of "creative destruction," in which an industry is unable to regulate the evolving purchasing habits of its consumers. Moore compared the scenario to the music industry, which he says is still recovering from its shift away from relying primarily on physical disc sales for revenue to a more download-centric model. Moore relates that EA's "customers" used to be retailers but, in the global always-online environment of the modern era, those "customers" are now the players. This has caused EA to triple its customer service operations over the last five years and even affected the company's marketing efforts TV advertising spend is down and online and social advertising is up. Social media is more important than ever to EA. EA just reported third-quarter earnings for its fiscal 2014. While the massive games publisher suffered an overall net loss of $308 million during the period, digital sales accounted for over half of all earnings. EA attributed this big upswing to a 60 percent increase in transactions in EA's lineup of collectible card-based simulations, FIFA Ultimate Team, Madden NFL Ultimate Team and NHL Ultimate Team. http://www.joystiq.com/2014/02/24/ea...ail-in-two-ye/

The Red Sox suffered the latest and greatest in what has been a series of catastrophes starting all the way back in September, with the bullpen taking a 9-0 lead in the fifth inning and turning into a 15-9 deficit at the end of nine innings, dropping the team to 4-10 on the season.
The Red Sox got off to a strong start against Freddy Garcia, scoring twice in the first and thrice in the second, chasing him after recording just five outs. With Clay Rapada and David Phelps allowing four more runs to come across, with Cody Ross knocking a two-run shot to dead center to make it 9-0 in the bottom of the fifth, the game seemed to be well in hand.
Felix Doubront, for his part, had been rolling nicely along through the first six innings, allowing just the one run while striking out seven batters and walking three. With his pitch count over 100, however, Bobby Valentine turned to the pen in the seventh, and that's when their fate was sealed.
While FOX was busy showing Phil Humber complete his perfect game in Seattle, Vicente Padilla was busy giving away a grand slam to Nick Swisher. After another double, Matt Albers entered the game and, after a fielding error allowed Alex Rodriguez to reach, surrendered a three-run shot to Mark Teixeira. Just like that, it was a one-run game.
Still, all the Sox needed was six outs. Instead, Alfredo Aceves and Justin Thomas proceeded to give up another seven runs, completely reversing the game from a sure Sox win to a sure Sox loss.
Rock bottom? At this point, it makes more sense to wait for tomorrow before assuming we've reached it just yet.

BP Comment Quick Links
June 17, 2013 Monday Morning Ten PackJune 17Julio Urias, LHP, Dodgers (Low-A Great Lakes) Jose Dominguez, RHP, Dodgers (Triple-A Albuquerque) The Dominican Republic native earned his recent promotion to Triple-A Albuquerque after a strong early-season stint in the Double-A Chattanooga bullpen. With the Lookouts, he yielded eight hits in 17 1/3 innings, walking eight and fanning 28. Dominguez relies heavily on his elite fastball but also mixes in an average slider. If he continues to throw strikes, he could become a big-league bullpen option for the Dodgers this summer. –Jason Cole Martin Perez, LHP, Rangers (Triple-A Round Rock) It's easy to get prospect fatigue with Perez, who has been considered among the Rangers' top prospects since 2008. But at 22, he's just three months older than no. 1 overall draft pick Mark Appel. Perez is making definite strides with his mental maturity on the mound, and his stuff remains excellent. The prospect could find his way back to the majors soon, and if he continues to control his delivery and plus stuff, he'll have a chance to stick. –Jason Cole Austin Hedges, C, Padres (High-A Lake Elsinore)

Student Stories
Lucienne Merrill
Hometown: Sandy Point, Maine
Major: Physics and Math
Class: 2008
Simmons activities: Chemistry and Physics Liaison, Math and Computer Science Liaison, Society of Physics Students, American Physics Society, American Chemical Society, First-year Experience teacher, Math and Physics study group teacher
Resume builder: "I collaborated on professional research starting my freshman year. As a member of Simmons' Women in Materials program, I researched organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Through Caltech's Research Experience of Undergraduates, I helped stabilize a laser at the Australian Interferometer for Gravitational Wave Observatory in West Australia. For my senior thesis, I spent hours in MIT's Laser Interfer-ometer for Gravitational Wave Observation (LIGO) lab, researching ways to improve the sensitivity of the LIGO detectors so that noise from the suspensions (the test masses and all of their components) can be identified and not mistaken for a gravitational wave - a chirp - or, say, a black hole."
Why Simmons: "During my first class registration, my advisor went out of her way to tell a physics professor about me. Even though her physics class was full and she usually didn't enroll freshman, the professor was willing to make an exception for me. That's when I knew that Simmons would help me get to where I want to be in the world."
Favorite class: "I adored Art 101 with Professor Colleen Kiely. The class was demanding, but it was relaxing to go from an electricity and magnetism class to drawing for hours at a time. It's great that Simmons lets us take courses outside our majors, to fulfill required modes or pursue a passion."
Insider tip: "I love running along the Charles River as the sun is rising. There is no better way to start the day."
After Simmons: "I plan to earn a Ph.D. in astrophysics, become a researcher in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, and perhaps teach as well. I love working in a worldwide collaboration."

Thread: Stella Awards.
Stella Awards.
Stella Awards
It's time again for the annual 'Stella
Awards'! For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after
81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and
successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico , where she purchased
coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it
between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one
could get burned doing that, right? That's right; these are awards for
the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the
kinds of cases that make you scratch your head. So keep your head
scratcher handy.
Here are the Stellas for the past year:
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was
awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle
tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The
store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering
the running toddler was her own son.
Start scratching!
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles ,
California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran
over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice
there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal
his neighbor's hubcaps.
Scratch some more...
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol ,
Pennsylvania , who was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way
of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door
opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open.
Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the
garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit
for eight, count 'em, EIGHT days and survive on a case of Pepsi and a
large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company
claiming undue mental Anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance
company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have
this kind of anguish. Keep scratching. There are more...
Double hand scratching after this one..
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock,
Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded
$14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his
next door neighbor's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in
its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for
because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the
time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into
the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.
Pick a new spot to scratch, you're
getting a bald spot..
Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania
because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500
after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The
reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at
her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument. What ever
happened to people being responsible for their own actions?
Only two more so ease up on the scratching....
Kara Walton, of Claymont , Delaware sued
the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the
bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even
though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window
to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club
had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure.
Ok. Here we go!!
This year's runaway First Place Stella
Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who
purchased new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home,
from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the
cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to
the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not
surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned.
Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting
in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's
seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her,
are you sitting down?
$1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home..
Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit,
just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a
motor home.

The arrest warrant was issued under seal because "public knowledge of the proceedings in this case might result in Bosco Ntaganda hiding, fleeing, and/or obstructing or endangering the investigations or the proceedings of the Court," but ICC judges determined that those circumstances have since changed. HRW urged the Congolese government to arrest [press release; JURIST report] Ntaganda in October 2010. Ntaganda lives and moves openly in Goma, a city in the eastern bloc of the DRC. He gained leadership of the National Congress for the Defense of the People (CNDP) rebel group in 2009 as a result of a coup against former leader Laurent Nkunda [BBC profile; JURIST news archive]. Ntaganda became a general of the Congolese army after promising to integrate the rebel forces into the Congolese troops. As a result, the government has refused to execute the ICC arrest warrant against him, claiming that his presence is needed in order to maintain peace withing the troops.

For over 10 years it has been a dream of both Luke and Linda to own and operate their own bed & breakfast. After many years of searching, they landed in Vermont's beautiful Mad River Valley, home of Sugarbush and Mad River Glen. Once here, they were hooked. Both originally from New Jersey, Luke, Linda and their daughter, Jordan, said good-bye to their jobs, lifestyle, and most importantly their loving families. It was an extremely difficult decision to make; however, they realized all that the Valley had to offer. They hope that you too will come to the Valley so that you may experience this unique place for yourself.

Cool Hand Laptop: Eight laptop coolers tested, rated, and reviewed
Avoid lap burns with one of these devices.
Technology can be a hazardous to your health, and gadget-related dangers come in all shapes and sizes, from BlackBerry thumb to mouse elbow. One of the most common complaints we hear is from laptop users literally burned by overheated systems. While desktop PC hot-rodders have all kinds of elaborate water-cooling contraptions at their disposal, laptop owners are stuck with decidedly more low-tech solutions.
Many users would never dream of resting a laptop directly on their legs without a pillow, magazine, or some other improvised shield in place. After all, with faster processors, smaller cases, and increased workloads, the modern laptop burns the candle at both ends, so to speak. Even moving the laptop from your lap to a desk won't cure heat-related problems, especially if you're working in a cramped environment with lots of clutter to block fans and air vents.
Naturally, for any problem, there's always someone willing to sell you a solution, and there are literally dozens of laptop cooling devices available. Some are simple, passive, plastic trays designed to keep the laptop from touching your legs, at best providing some additional air channels. Others are complex, powered devices with one or more built-in fans, running off power provided by a laptop's USB port. The right solution for you depends on whether you primarily use your laptop on a desk or on your lap, whether you want a powered or passive device, and how much extra space can be spared in your laptop bag.
We looked at a total of eight cooling options, rating each for its design, utility, and capability to keep laptop temperatures down. To test the thermal properties, we ran our grueling Multimedia multitasking test on a sample laptop--the popular Lenovo T60p--recorded the CPU temperature for each product, and compared it to the laptop's CPU temperature without any cooling assistance.
Among the passive, or unpowered, devices we tested, we were surprisingly impressed by the Xpad Laptop Desk, basically a massive chunk of plastic that looked like a cutting board with a big "X" on it. A more inelegant computer accessory would be hard to find, but the Xpad was inexpensive, could handle large laptops, and was as effective as our fan-equipped laptop coolers. The two LapWorks laptop desks--one for mid-size laptops, one for smaller systems--weren't particularly effective at cooling, but have a textured surface on each end for use with a mouse. For the aesthetic minimalist, BlueLounge's Cool Feet are four simple rubber feet that attach to the bottom of your laptop, but are better for giving your system a more ergonomic angle than for cooling.
If you're interested in a powered laptop cooler, there are several essentially similar devices out there. Each plugs into a USB port on your laptop, which powers one or two fans designed to suck hot air away from the system. They can all be a bit noisy, and only one--the Antec NoteBook Cooler S--is especially portable.
All four powered coolers we looked at worked reasonably well. The Antec NoteBook Cooler's twin fans were slightly better than the single fan in the Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand and the LapWorks Ergo Fan Riser. The smaller Antec NoteBook Cooler S (hence the "S") was the only one that operated a little differently, placing the fans behind the lid rather than under the system.
Honestly, none of these laptop coolers radically outperformed the others, as evidenced by the chart below. Personal preference plays a big role here. One of our co-workers swears by the LapWorks Laptop Desk 2.0, for its portability and built-in mouse pad, while I find the subtle sloping grade of a laptop sitting on the Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand to be easier on the wrists.
Note: For a side-by-side breakdown of all these laptop cooling devices, check out our twin roundups, for active and passive laptop coolers.

Hardly a great time to talk H-1Bs. Still, it's time
What with pink slips being handed out all over this country, now is probably the worst time for any political leader to urge a rethinking of our H-1B policy to lift the 65,000 annual limits on foreign guest workers in specialty occupations. It's not the sort of political stance that will play well in Peoria - or in many other places in the U.S. these days.
But it must be said: Maintaining the status quo on H-1B is the best news that China, India, Russia or any other would-be economic superpower could ever want to hear. The … Read more

The API Collection features four precision processors based on renowned API modules
Developed in association with Automated Processes Incorporated, the API Collection features four precision processors based on renowned API modules: the 550A 3-Band Equalizer, the 550B 4-Band Equalizer, the 560 Graphic Equalizer, and the 2500 Stereo Compressor.
Used by engineers worldwide on countless hit records, these modules deliver a sound like no other. And with the API Collection, Waves captures every nuance of their unique sonic signatures.
API 550A - 3 Band Equalizer
Modeled on API's late 1960's legend, the API 550A EQ delivers a sound that has been a hallmark of high end studios for decades. It provides reciprocal equalization at 15 points in 5 steps of boost divided into three overlapping ranges. The high and low frequency ranges are individually selectable as either peaking or shelving, and a band-pass filter can be inserted independently of all other settings. The 550A is a uniquely powerful equalizer with that one-of-a-kind API sound.
API 550B - 4-Band Equaliser
Featuring four overlapped EQ bands, the 550B gives tracks that sweet analog sound that API is renowned for. With 7 switchable filter frequencies spanning up to 5 octaves per band, the 550B's "Proportional Q" automatically widens the filter bandwidth at minimal settings and narrows it at higher settings. It even lets you undo previous processing, affect or even reverse tonal modifications. With its vast range of tonal possibilities, the API 550B is a versatile EQ for all your processing needs.
API 560 - 10-Band Graphic Equaliser
Based on API's 1967 classic, the 560 10-Band Graphic Equalizer features precision filtering and massive headroom, so you can take your sound to the edge and beyond. The 560's curve shaping potential is unmatched, while API's unique "Proportional Q" design intuitively widens the filter bandwidth at lower boost/cut levels and narrows it at higher settings. And since boost and cut characteristics are identical, previous actions can be easily undone. For precision equalization with unmatched versatility, turn to the EQ heard on top recordings for decades: the API 560.
API 2500 - Stereo Compressor
The API 2500 is a dynamics processing powerhouse that lets you deliver the punch with absolute accuracy. Its dual channel design lets the 2500 also function as two separate mono channels via a single compression setting. Using auto-makeup gain, you can adjust Threshold or Ratio while automatically maintaining a constant output level. With both "feed back" and "feed forward" compression types, the 2500 boasts a wide range of incredibly musical parameters which have made it a favorite of engineers the world over.

Details: | General Maintenance Guidelines For Ceramic Tile GENERAL MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR CERAMIC TILE This standard includes general guidelines for maintaining ceramic tile floors. - In cleaning ceramic tile, keep in mind that there are two different surfaces, the tile and the grout. 1. Cement grout is considerably more porous than ceramic tile and more susceptible to the accumulation of dirt and stains. 2. Epoxy mortar grout is not as prone to soiling and staining. DOS - Dry clean ceramic tile by sweeping with a brush or dust mop or by vacuuming. - Remove minor soils by mopping with water. - For excessive soiling, use a general-purpose, synthetic detergent mixed with warm water for washing the surface. - Rinse thoroughly and mop up rinse water, leaving the floor as dry as possible. - Dirty grouting can be scrubbed with a stiff brush and a mild abrasive powder. - USE nylon abrasive pads for heavy duty cleaning. DON'TS - Oily sweeping compounds, alkaline cleaning compounds, sealers, polishes, and non-slip coatings are NOT recommended. - DO NOT leave water or cleaning solution on the floor any longer than necessary. - DO NOT use abrasives or other gritty materials on GLAZED TILES. - DO NOT use acids on glazed tiles. - Avoid using steel wool pads for scrubbing (they may leave rust spots). - DO NOT use abrasive powders for scrubbing ceramic tile (it is messy and almost impossible to remove).
