Swimming & Diving in Eighth at Georgia Tech Invite
Beaubrun swims an NCAA cut time in the 100 breast
ATLANTA – The FGCU swimming & diving team continues to set season-best times as the Eagles are in eighth place with 183 points after the second day of competition at the Georgia Tech Invite on Friday night.
Texas A&M leads with 1143.5 points, while Florida State and Florida sit in second and third, respectively in the 13-team field. FGCU is ahead of Big Ten foe Michigan State, FAU, Air Force, Gardner-Webb and SEC foe Auburn.
"We had a great day of racing. Dani (Beaubrun) set a school record in the 100 breast and it was also an NCAA 'B' cut," said head coach Neal Studd. "Our 200 medley relay was great and we beat out Clemson, N.C. State, Georgia Tech and Michigan State amongst others. We hope to move up in the standings tomorrow to cap off a great weekend."
The 200-yard medley relay opened up day two of the invite with a fifth-place finish from the team of senior Viktoria Hyddmark (Lund, Sweden/Polhemskolah), junior Danielle Butler (Orangeburg, N.Y./St. Bonaventure), sophomore Dani Beaubrun (Vieux Fort, St. Lucia/The Bolles School) and freshman Christina Tanninen (Burlington, Ontario/Nelson). The relay clocked in at 1:44.12 in finals just sixth hundredths of a second behind their preliminary time, which will top the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) times.
Beaubrun posted the top individual finish for FGCU with a fifth-place in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:03.20. Her time of 1:02.77 in the preliminaries is an NCAA 'B' cut time and tops the CCSA by almost two seconds.
Junior Myriam Plante (Sainte-Foy, Quebec/Université Laval) also swam the 100 breast with a time of 1:04.99, shaving a full two seconds off her previous season-fastest time set at FAU (Oct. 9). In the same event, sophomore Regina Rodriguez (Mexico City, Mexico/The Bolles School) swam a season-best time of 1:06.37 in the preliminaries and finished with a final time of 1:07.05.
Plante just missed the finals in the 400 IM with her time of 4:30.94. Her time is second in the conference, behind teammate Vicky Cadge (Long Melford, Suffolk, United Kingdom/Kelly College).
After her relay performance, Butler finished with a time of 56.76 in the 100 fly, but did swim a season-best time of 56.58 in the preliminaries and surpassed classmate Alessandra Cianci (Plantation, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas) on the top times list. Cianci clocked in at 56.69, which is her season-best as well.
Daniel also had an individual performance in the 200 free, touching the wall at 1:51.24, which tops her previous time by a full second. Freshman Jessie Porter (Chorleywood, Hertsforshire, United Kingdom/Royal Masonic) also posted a season-best time of 1:52.48.
The 800 freestyle relay team did not earn points for FGCU, but they swam a conference-best time of 7:38.22. Freshmen Lindsey Meeder (Boynton Beach, Fla./Park Vista) and Tanninen, sophomore Kristen Potter (Rockledge, Fla/Rockledge) and senior Taylor Cooke (Homosassa, Fla./Lecanto) shaved a full second off the previous fastest time for FGCU, which is 7:39.75 set at the All-Florida Invite (Oct. 3).
In the 1-meter competition for diving, senior Karmin McNamara (Tampa, Fla./Gaither) paced FGCU divers with a score of 219.00, while classmate Gaby Shaw (Boynton Beach, Fla./Park Vista) recorded a 194.90. Freshman Alex Valder (Tampa, Fla./Sickles) also represented FGCU with a score of 179.30.
The final day of the Georgia Tech Invite continues on Sunday with preliminaries at 9 a.m. followed by finals at 3 p.m. at the Georgia Tech Aquatics Center.

Dear Arthritis e-Advocate,
Thank you for the important work you do as an e-Advocate for the Arthritis Foundation. Your voice has been heard and our legislators are listening to the needs and concerns of people with arthritis.
I would like to invite you to take another step in the fight against arthritis and attend an Arthritis Walk in your area. The Arthritis Walk is the largest fundraising event sponsored by the Arthritis Foundation. The money raised supports community education, exercise programs and research.
If you are physically unable to walk, don't worry! Most of the people attending the walk are the Faces of Arthritis, just as you are; you will see a lot of crutches, wheelchairs and canes. You can still attend the walk and experience the event; visit our sponsors, obtain educational materials and meet others whose lives are affected by arthritis.
Come by yourself; or better yet, start a team! Bring your family and friends. Join others who are walking and fundraising to find a cure for the leading cause of disability in the United States. Tell others that arthritis is UNACCEPTABLE.
Arthritis Ambassador
Mission Delivery Chairperson, National Arthritis Walk Committee

Former Washoe County Sheriff Vince Swinney has died after a lengthy illness. He was 76.
Swinney died early Tuesday after being in poor health for several months.
Swinney joined the sheriff's office in 1971 and was elected to the first of three terms as sheriff in 1982.
Under his command, the sheriff's office expanded from 68 employees to more than 500.
He retired in 1994.
Besides a career in law enforcement, Swinney was a volunteer with the Nevada Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America. He also was a member of the Reno Rodeo Association and a longtime member of the Nevada Woodchucks, a group that crafts wooden toys for children in need.
Services are pending.

Lessons From an Injured Knee
I love to dance. Unfortunately, I tend to get a bit carried away, and I got carried away after speaking at the Wisconsin PDCA Convention. The convention mixer had good music, and those Wisconsin guys knew how to boogie. I managed to dance with each one of them — twice! Unfortunately, I had to limp back to my room. I kept limping until I had orthoscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus.
Compared to the old dice-and-slice methods, orthoscopic surgery is amazing. For my procedure, I didn't need general anesthesia, and I had minimal post surgery discomfort. Indeed, hopping around on crutches became the worst part of the whole experience. However, after turning a positive eye on it, my labored motion became a good learning experience. It made me recall some interesting business and personal insights that I share with you now.
Lesson No. 1 — sit down, stay put, and don't get up until you're done. Have any of you noticed how many folks in the building industry have the fidgets? You know, can never sit still and do just one thing at a time. That's me. My husband calls me his little hiccup. Those of us who have the fidgets find that we often get sidetracked from the task at hand. In my case, the sidetrack can range from picking tomatoes in my garden, to feeding the birds, to getting the mail. As we work on tasks, we bounce up and down, interrupt ourselves, and often those we with whom we work. Well, crutches limit your bounce-ability. I had to stay put! Predictably, I produced particularly well on those things on which I tend to procrastinate. I got caught up on my marketing and wrote my QR column!
Second lesson — don't start a project until you have everything you need in hand. When on crutches, this lesson hits home quickly, because you can't use your hands to carry much. I had to think about all the resources I needed because the crutches made it too difficult to scramble about. Forget one part and the whole process abruptly stops.
Third lesson — Of course, knowing what you need requires a good plan. I had to develop a clear intention about what I wanted to accomplish before I started. This often becomes the most difficult task. Although I know that with good experience and insight, I can plan well; as a fidgety person, I often learn as I go rather then envision the path. In some ways, I seem to have more fun using my frenetic energy rather than planning. But, with increasingly sore arms, I knew a good plan relieved the pain.
Lesson four — stop and do nothing for part of each day to give your creative side a chance to contribute to your success. I found that because of the difficulty in moving, I didn't. Instead of fidgeting while sitting, I just sat, which gave way to sitting and thinking. Many of us have so much to do, that we rarely take the time to contemplate our situation. Yet, research shows that creativity takes contemplation and incubation to blossom. My sitting brought forth some pretty interesting ideas and perspectives on my business and my life. I might have missed out on them had my surgery not forced me to sit still.
So, unlike me and one of my workshop attendees who leaped up in the middle of class to proudly tell me that he finally sat down and got his job descriptions written after he'd broken his ankle, I hope you can learn these lessons without breaking some body part.
But then, whatever it takes.

The CONCACAF Champions League action for 2012 comes to an end this week. It is the final matchday of the group stage, which will send eight teams to the quarterfinals, which begin in March. Three teams, Seattle, LA and Monterrey, have already booked their spots and Santos looks like a sure bet to go through, but that still leaves half of the knockout stage field to be determined.
Group 1
Santos Laguna (Mexico) vs. Toronto FC (Canada) - Wednesday, 8:00 p.m. ET
Toronto still has a chance to make the quarterfinals. All they have to do is go to Torreon and beat Santos Laguna by three goals, or two so long as the score four so it really isn't so HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Group 2
Real Salt Lake (USA) vs. Herediano (Costa Rica) - Tuesday, 10:00 p.m. ET
When these two teams squared off on the opening matchday, the Costa Ricans picked up a 1-0 home win, but RSL played more than 30 minutes with 10 men and Herediano still didn't look overwhelmingly better. Still, that win puts them in a favorable situation going into the final match, where any result or a one-goal loss that isn't 1-0 will see them through to the quarterfinals.
Both Salt Lake and Herediano play primarily through the middle and are relatively strong in front of a tough back line so odds are this will get ugly, which is fine for RSL. The physicality of Alvaro Saborio and Fabian Espindola makes them the more likely team to find a goal in that kind of a match, even if Javier Morales can't get free.
Group 3
Houston Dynamo (USA) vs. Olimpia (Honduras) - Tuesday, 8:00 p.m. ET
This one is simple -- Houston advances with a win or draw and Olimpia advances with a win.
The Dynamo are the clear cut favorites here. They are at home, where they have no lost a competitive match all season and they got a draw in Honduras, where they looked the better side. This is not the best team Olimpia has ever had and they really struggle in the attack, which will make watching their former player and current Dynamo winger Oscar Boniek Garcia running at them all the more painful.
Group 4
Seattle Sounders (USA) vs. Marathon (Honduras) - Wednesday, 10:00 p.m. ET
Congratulations, Sounders. You already won the group. Everyone else, apologies for having to deal with this meaningless match.
Group 5
Isidro Metapan (El Salvador) vs. LA Galaxy (USA) - Thursday, 10:00 p.m. ET
If you thought Bruce Arena didn't care about the Champions League before, just wait to see what he does in a meaningless match because they already clinched the group.
Group 6
Tigres UANL (Mexico) vs. Alajuelense (Costa Rica) - Wednesday, 10:00 p.m. ET
Alajuelense has had a very good showing in the Champions League for a second consecutive season, but if they cannot get a result at Tigres then their run will end in the group stage yet again. Tigres got back on track over the weekend with a 5-0 win thanks to Alberto Acosta's hat trick, but this is still the same team that had gone five matches without a win before that.
The two sides played to a 2-2 draw in August thanks to a Luis Miguel Valle stoppage time equalizer, but it will obviously be much tougher for Alajuelense to get a result in Mexico. If they are going to get it done then Valle and Alejandro Aguilar will have to be excellent up the middle because Alajuelense doesn't offer a lot on the wings.
Group 7
Chorrillo (Panama) vs. Monterrey (Mexico) - Tuesday, 10:00 p.m. ET
The tournament's two-time defending champions Monterrey are already through to the quarterfinals. Don't count on a single player of note traveling to Panama.
Group 8
Chivas Guadalajara (Mexico) vs. Xelaju (Guatemala) - Thursday, 10:00 p.m. ET
The Champions League game has gone largely as expected, except for one team -- Xelaju. The small Guatemalan club is somehow on top of one of Mexico's biggest clubs, Chivas, and need just a draw or a one-goal loss that isn't 1-0 to advance to the knockout stages. Sure, the Goats are struggling this season, but it would still be a major upset.
Xelaju shocked Chivas with a 1-0 win in August, but that was in Guatemala. In Mexico, it will be much, much more difficult. They have been shaky at the back, but have been great going forward. Edgar Chinchilla, who scored the winner against the Goats last time around, has been dangerous all tournament and can challenge a Chivas defense that has had its problems.

Become a Part of the Education Nation!
September 23, 2011 at 12:05 pm , by Sonia Harmon
Among the many hot button issues in our country, there's one we should all be able to agree on: the importance of a great education. This weekend, NBC is starting a conversation on this topic in a major way with its Education Nation Summit, which kicks off Sunday at noon (EST) with the second-annual Teacher Town Hall on MSNBC. The live broadcast will be a discussion for and about teachers, and the challenges they face today. We talked to NBC news anchor Brian Williams, who will moderate the discussion, about this special initiative.
Ladies' Home Journal: Tell us about NBC's Education Nation project.
Brian Williams: When we do pieces on education on my broadcast nightly news, we always label them part of our Education Nation campaign. It's just an enormous commitment by the network to say, "Look, we're allowed to have issues that are important to us. We just don't take a stand, but we'd like to be the conduit." One thing we do that has become quite popular is the Teacher Town Hall. We literally have a tent on the skating rink at 30 Rockefeller Plaza and it's just like being in the teacher's lounge. Growing up as a kid, didn't you always wonder what went on in there? So we let them blow off steam. It's not a political debate, it's not a NASCAR race—but it's as exciting as gatherings go. It just happens to be about education.
What are some education issues you think people need to be more aware of?
Well, I just think people need to dive into the reform effort. Parents need to dial in, folks whose kids are grown and out of school who have time to volunteer and help out, they need to dial in, rich folks who have money to give. That's the lesson I've learned, that when you stop going to PTA meetings and when your kids grow up and out, your obligation to education doesn't end. In many ways it's just beginning. You still have a lot to give.
Do you remember a teacher that really affected you as a kid? Read more

Helping Their Gardens and Students Grow
September 29, 2010 at 2:24 pm , by Amelia Harnish
Inspired by Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign, environmental and health activist Kelly Meyer decided to stop complaining about the lack of healthy options for her children and do something about it.
With friends in Los Angeles she started Teaching Garden, an initiative to put gardens and corresponding nutrition curricula in local schools. She thought the best way to teach healthy habits from the start would be to provide kids with a garden, where they could learn hands-on about where food really comes from: "the ground, not the vending machine or the cereal box," Meyer says.
Studies show that healthy kids perform better in school, and with 1 in 3 American children now obese, it's clear more schools could use a program like this one.
As part of the kickoff of NBC's Education Nation summit Monday, Teaching Garden and the American Heart Association (AHA) invited a group of New York City schoolchildren to Rockefeller Center to announce their goal of putting 1,000 gardens in schools across the country over the next two years. That's Meyer, above, far left, with AHA chairperson Debra Lockwood, TV funnyman Jimmy Fallon and 5th graders from KIPP Infinity School. Read more

Many children across the nation are now experimenting with a new and peculiar drug: Smarties.
Doctors are warning parents about the new trend among teens that started at an East Coast middle school.
Authorities say that instead of eating the small candies, they are crushing and inhaling them.
"Where do they get these ideas? You know, can they harm themselves? You know, what will it lead to? They are all concerns, obviously," parent Adrian Markey said.
Parents in Portsmouth, RI, received an email alert earlier this week. The alert informed parents that students at Portsmouth Middle School were snorting Smarties.
"I got the email last night and I was pretty amazed. I've never heard of such a thing," parent Bruce Digennaro said.
Officials say children have been snorting candy to imitate cocaine users seen on TV and the movies. They used crushed up Smarties candies and Pixie Sticks like powdered candy.
"They laugh about it, they say that they've heard of kids doing it, but they don't imply that it's a big problem or that it's something that a lot of people do," Digennaro said.
Parents initially didn't know if they should take the news seriously, but authorities are now saying that the habit could lead to a host of health issues, like nose maggots.
They also caution against it, because the ingredients in the candy can cause internal bleeding and lung infections.
"Anytime you snort or inhale a substance into your lungs that Is not meant to be, it is definitely hazardous to your health," said Rebecca Boss, an administrator with the states behavior healthcare department.
Authorities are urging parents to pay careful attention to their children's hobbies and behavior. They also say parents should search their children's text messages for clues.
"Any kinds of changes in behavior are definitely indications that the child is doing something they may not want the parent to know about," Boss said.

Classy Invite
Forever Yours Pocket Invitations I ordered my Save-the-Dates through Magnet Street and wanted to keep the same color scheme. I really wanted this particular fold with the pocket for the RSVP card. My colors were eggplant and coral and the invites look great! Shipped and received in the timeline provided when I ordered. Some of the invites had small spaces where the color had come off but nothing worth contacting customer service about. The RSVP postcards are very convenient, no extra envelopes to order and postcards stamps are a little cheaper than regular stamps. And we didn't have to purchase special postage for the actual invitation as the weight was within normal postal ranges. Everyone loved it and mentioned how elegant it looks. I ordered a Just One sample before placing my final order. I recommend doing this because it allows you to see in person what you will be getting. And each invitation looked exactly the same, so no errors when printed in bulk. Great product and there is always some promo code to help with the price :-)
Gorgeous Wedding Invitations!
Forever Yours Square Pockets When I received these invitations in the mail the first word that came to my mind, as well as one of bridesmaids is Classy. They are extremely well made and have a clean cut look to them. What I love about these invitations are how easy they are to customize. I took out a few of the shown design elements in order to create the perfect invitation for me and I love that I was able to do so. I was able to use the exact colors of my wedding and they are going to match perfectly! The luxe pearl paper adds the perfect amount of elegance. TIP: Although it does not change my opinion on these invitations, it is important to know that they do not fit through a standard mailbox slot at the sorting facilities and because of that require extra postage. Not a deal breaker for me, but it does increase the cost of mailing these out.
perfect wedding invitations
Botanical Bliss Rectangle Invitations magnetstreet takes care of it's customers. they personally review orders and i am glad they reviewed mine! i had ordered the wrong envelopes for my response cards! the called me to make sure i wasn't making a mistake. i love that they give you proofs to verify before they print. the personalization is more than i expected. they did everything i asked for and my invitations are perfect. on top of all that they are affordable. can't wait for my guests to see them. one thing would have liked was another response card option. it only offered postcards with my invitations so i had to make them into a more traditional response card and order envelopes. maybe there way am easier way to do that but it seems like it should be an option to choose... regardless of that i am so glad we chose magnetstreet!

A weather-related shortfall in donations is prompting the
American Red Cross to ask all eligible blood and platelet donors to help.
About 280 blood drives across 25 states were canceled across the country due to snow and extreme cold, according to the Red Cross.

The Red Cross is seeking help from donors with the most in-demand blood types: O positive and negative and B positive and negative.
How to donate blood
Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. A blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Those who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Sir Chris Hoy joins pothole campaign
4:01pm Tuesday 13th April 2010 in Trafford Potholes By Jessica Bell
OLYMPIC cyclist Sir Chris Hoy has joined a campaign to rid the UK of pothole damaged roads.
He said dealing with road maintenance was key to getting more people to cycle.
"A lot of people lack the confidence to ride their bikes in and around urban areas, not just because of the traffic but because of poor road surfaces," he said.
Sir Chris was in Manchester last week to help Aggregate Industries launch a campaign for better long term road maintenance.
He said: "If you spot a pothole, get in touch with your local authority or visit www.fillthathole.org.uk."

In December, the House of Representatives passed the Jobs for Main Street Act, including significant investments in education to help save and create jobs that help students achieve, run our schools, and strengthen the middle class.
Now, it is the Senate's turn. NEA is urging the Senate to support a jobs package that provides, at a minimum, the critical education investments included in the House-passed bill. Quick action is necessary. Governors and state legislatures across the country have already begun to grapple with how to address budget shortfalls for the next fiscal year, as most are well underway in their FY2011 budget planning process. If left unaddressed, budget shortfalls will have a devastating impact on schools, students, and educators.
Investment in public education is the best investment for the nation's economy, in the short run and long run. The education dollars provided in the Jobs for Main Street Act will save or create hundreds of thousands of educator jobs, and will provide a critical infusion of funds into struggling communities.
CONTACT YOUR SENATORS TODAY! Urge the Senate to pass a jobs package that includes, at a minimum, the investments in education provided in the House-passed bill. Critical provisions include:
See how many education jobs the House-passed bill will save/create in Massachusetts.
See how much funding Massaachusetts will lose once monies under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act expire unless Congress provides more funding in a jobs/economic recovery bill.
Background from the NEA:
In December, the House passed the NEA-supported Jobs for Main Street Act. The bill includes several key provisions that will make a real difference for educators, public schools, and local communities:

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. (AP) - Chris Rolfe scored two goals in a little more than 3 minutes in the first half to lead the Chicago Fire to a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Crew on Saturday night.
Chicago (16-8-5) won its fourth straight and seventh in the last eight to move two points behind first-place Sporting Kansas City in the Eastern Conference.
Jairo Arrieta took advantage of a miscue by Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson to score in the 15th minute for Columbus (13-11-6).
Rolfe then scored twice in a span of 3:16, tying the score in the 23rd minute with a ground-hugging, left footed drive from 16 feet out. He put the Fire ahead with the game's last goal, a 15-yard that went over goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum high into the left corner of the net.

Frandsen injures Achilles tendon
Infielder could be sidelined for entire season
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Giants infielder Kevin Frandsen faces the possibility of missing the entire season after suffering what is believed to be a ruptured left Achilles tendon Monday in a Minor League exhibition game at Scottsdale, Ariz.Frandsen was testing his leg after being sidelined since March 16 with tendinitis. Manager Bruce Bochy, who accompanied the Giants here for their 6-5 exhibition loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, was told that Frandsen had singled and was rounding second base on his way to third when he hurt himself. Frandsen's expected to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging examination Tuesday to confirm the severity of the injury. Bochy said that Frandsen will be sidelined for five to six months if he's hurt as badly as is believed. "I'm sure that's tough for the kid's psyche, to have to deal with this, if this is the case," Bochy said. "But Kevin's not going to let up. He'll be back." Frandsen, 25, had endured a luckless spring even before Monday. Considered a contender with Ray Durham for the second-base job when Spring Training began, Frandsen was moved to shortstop when Omar Vizquel tore a meniscus in his left knee and required surgery. But Frandsen's performance at shortstop was deemed ineffective, prompting the Giants to announce on March 6 that he'd no longer be playing there. Frandsen still had a place on the Opening Day roster, since the Giants considered him an essential utilityman capable of playing second base, third base and the outfield. Now, Saturday's acquisition of infielder Jose Castillo on waivers from Florida looks like a wise move, especially since the Giants might have to search for another spare infielder. "Castillo looks like he'll play a bigger role," Bochy said. "We were a little thin anyway. We're fortunate we have him." Frandsen's injury also carried emotional impact. A San Jose native who grew up rooting for the Giants, Frandsen had established himself as one of the team's scrappiest, most popular players. First baseman Dan Ortmeier, one of Frandsen's best friends on the club, looked glum as he spoke. "My thoughts and prayers to go him and his family," Ortmeier said. "I know he's going to take it pretty hard. Good buddy, good teammate, good guy in the locker room -- what can you say?"

E3 2012: Wii U coverage
Nintendo will debut the final model of the Wii U at this year's E3. We've already caught a glimpse of what's in store for the company's latest home console, which was first unveiled at E3 2011. Polygon will be providing coverage for each console in streams. Follow this stream for everything and anything Wii U at E3.
Video: Nintendo Besties Booth Tour
Nintendo's booth was filled with surprises, surprises that perhaps would have been better revealed during the company's uneventful press conference, but surprises nonetheless. Project P-100, a collaboration between Platinum Games (Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance) and Nintendo, not even shown at the presser, was charm incarnate. ZombiU proved to be more than a pretty CG trailer, making better use of Nintendo's novel touch screen controller than any first-party game. (Zombie scanning: just what zombie shooters were missing!) Even New Super Mario Bros. U, which looked like an annual...
'Wii Fit U' cleverly integrates GamePad into workouts, blasts quads
While Nintendo is attempting to bring in a more hardcore audience for the Wii U with games like Pikmin 3, the company hasn't forgotten that the Wii was built on the backs of casual gamers.
Wii Fit was one of the biggest casual draws on the console, so it makes sense Nintendo would introduce a new installment for the Wii U. But can someone really work out and use the somewhat bulky GamePad at the same time?
During E3 we had a chance to play through two of the new fitness games in Wii Fit U, both of which use the GamePad in clever ways. The first was centered around a lunging exercise,...
'New Super Mario Bros. U' producer talks flying squirrel controls, Miyamoto
Takashi Tezuka is a classic example of the guy behind the guy. He started at Nintendo in 1984, shortly after Nintendo superman Shigeru Miyamoto. He worked on the original Super Mario Bros., almost every mainline Mario release, all early Zelda games, the Pikmin series, Animal Crossing, etc. In recent years, he's overseen the New Super Mario Bros. franchise, currently producing both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Mario Bros. 2.
His fingerprints cover Nintendo's legacy. In a quick chat at this year's E3, he tells me that he came up with the name "Paper Mario" and he thought up the...
Nintendo will moderate all Miiverse comments by hand
User-to-user interactions on the Wii U's Miiverse social platform will go through three layers of moderation before arriving on the platform, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told Hero Complex today.
Nintendo boasted that the system would finally provide the strong social experience of the Xbox 360 and PSN during its E3 press conference. However, the company's methods for keeping public postings clean are a little extreme: Any message posted must pass through an automatic language filter, a human moderator review from Nintendo "human resources" and, finally, a peer review from the recipient....
'TANK! TANK! TANK!' is a solid party game for the Wii U
Namco Bandai's TANK! TANK! TANK! is a great fit for Nintendo's Wii U. Solid, responsive controls and fast gameplay make for a frantic but fun experience, a retooled version of the classic arcade title spun into a living room party game.
Up to five players can play the game at a time, one playing on the Wii U's GamePad while as many as four play on remotes. Players using the GamePad can use the touch screen to select levels and take photos of players' faces for the avatars situated above each tank. Namco Bandai's booth demo featured a level in which the tank commanders must destroy one...
E3 Day 2: Live From The Loft!
We're streaming live from The Loft™ (not an actual trademark), regaling tales of the second day of E3, where we got our hands on pretty much everything: Halo 4, XCOM, PlanetSide 2, and about 20 more. Watch the stream, post your comments, love life, etc.
Project P-100 for Wii U saves E3 with a pint-sized team of avengers
Easily the most pleasant surprise for the Wii U at E3 2012 was Project P-100, the newest action game from some of the developers behind Bayonetta, Okami and Viewtiful Joe.
Project P-100 is the latest from Platinum Games, which is also hard at work on Anarchy Reigns and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. It's directed by Hideki Kamiya, whose credits include Resident Evil 2 and the Viewtiful Joe series, and published by Nintendo.
From a distance, the action game looks vaguely like Nintendo's Pikmin series, giving the player control of more than a dozen heroes at once, sending them into battle...
Game & Wario brings hints of Pokémon Snap, WarioWare to Wii U
Nintendo fans longing for a return of the engrossing photography adventure Pokémon Snap for the Nintendo 64 will be delighted to learn that some of that game lives in a new Wii U game, Game & Wario.
Game & Wario is a collection of mini-games coming to Nintendo's new console sometime around launch. The game experiences are not the seconds-long "micro-games" of past WarioWare titles, but rather a collection of bite-sized randomness that can be enjoyed in minutes. Each mini-game sports a simple title: Ski, Fruit, Arrow and Shutter; short and to the point, like the liquid crystal Game & Watch...
'Pikmin 3' is a return to, well, 'Pikmin'
After Nintendo's official debut of PIkmin 3 at its E3 2012 press conference, we took some time at their booth to make sure it wasn't just a figment of our imagination.
The core ideals of Pikmin remain 100% unchanged in this latest installment. It's still about controlling a crowd of tiny, colorful, ant-looking creatures, commanding them to battle larger beings and break down walls in a variety of garden environments.
The basic control scheme uses the Wii MotionPlus controller and the nunchuk, guiding pikmin with your cursor or throwing them into enemies and obstacles with the A button. The...
'ZombiU' is proof Wii U's controls can be more than a gimmick
ZombiU is the exclusive zombie-killing simulator for Wii U shown briefly at the Ubisoft and Nintendo press conferences. It is also one of the show's best surprises and one of the most promising games announced for the upcoming console.
Polygon had a chance to go hands-on with the first-person shooter at the Nintendo booth, and found it took full advantage of the Wii U GamePad without falling into the trap of novel, but cumbersome controls.
The GamePad is represented in-game by a tablet your character uses to scan the world, a dilapidated London. Scan bodies to see if they're infected or...
'Trine 2: Director's Cut' adds new modes and expansion content for Wii U
Trine 2: Director's Cut was hidden in a big group of surprise Wii U games at Nintendo's E3 press conference, but that doesn't mean you should ignore it. This well-received action platformer from developer Frozenbyte was released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC late last year, but the upcoming Wii U version has some major additions.
In addition to tons of minor fixes and tweaks, Trine 2: Director's Cut will have an all-new unlockable level and revised controls taking advantage of the Wii U GamePad. A Wii-exclusive mode called "Magic Mayhem" will allow up to four players to join in for...
'TANK! TANK! TANK!' Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!
Following Nintendo's E3 press conference this morning, the company released a trailer for TANK! TANK! TANK!, a battle action party game developed by Namco Bandai.
TANK! TANK! TANK! set players in a story-driven mission, battling their way through levels in tanks. New tanks can be unlocked and levelled up in battles against giant monsters. Players can choose from both co-op and competitive modes, teaming up for boss battles or engage in four-on-four battle royales.
The player using the GamePad can become the enemy, sticking their photo on the face of Kong and challenging their friends in...
Wii U: the full games list
Following Nintendo's E3 press briefing this morning, the company released a list of all announced Wii U games to date, which website Nintendo Everything got its hands on. Here's the full list:
- NBA 2K13 - 2K Sports - Holiday
- Ben 10: Omniverse - D3 Publisher - Holiday
- Family Party: 30 Great Games (working title) - D3 Publisher - Holiday

Project P-100 for Wii U coming from Platinum Games and Nintendo
After Nintendo's press conference this morning Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime went on Spike TV to tease Project P-100, a title currently in development by Platinum Games and being published by Nintendo. The game is listed as a launch window title for the Wii U.
The trailer opens with a giant fireball falling out of the sky and crashing into a small city. Upon impact it transforms into a robot and prepares to attack. The rest of the gameplay is strongly reminiscent of Pikmin, with players saving the town's citizens and collecting them into groups. A large group of citizens...
Wii U pedometer announced after Nintendo's E3 press conference
Nintendo will release a pedometer like device to work with their upcoming title, WiiFit U. According to Nintendo President Satoru Iwata, players will attach the device to their body and it will record steps taken, track calories burned and monitor altitude. It will also record the player's exercising habits when they are not playing WiiFit U.
The pedometer will communicate with the Wii U via infrared, merging its data with that from the game. No official name or release date were announced.
Panorama View announced for Wii U
At the end of Nintendo's E3 press briefing today, Nintendo head Satoru Iwata revealed a piece of software called Wii U Panorama View that makes the Wii U controller into a virtual reality headset, sort of. Nintendo filmed video footage of real world locations, and stitched it together so Wii U owners can move the screen controller around to watch from whatever angle they desire. It's a way of looking at video footage as if you're in the video while it's playing, basically, similar to Google Maps but with video instead of stills.
The demonstration didn't show any interactive elements...
Nintendo Land for Wii U brings mini-games based on Zelda, Donkey Kong to showcase GamePad
Nintendo will release Nintendo Land for Wii U, a game designed to showcase the Wii U's unique features, much in the way that Wii Sports for the original Wii showcased the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls.
Katsuya Eguchi, producer of Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort and Animal Crossing games, is directing Nintendo Land.
Nintendo Land will feature 12 theme park-like attractions based on established Nintendo franchises, including The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong and Animal Crossing. Titles include Donkey Kong: Crash Course, Animal Crossing: Sweet Day, Luigi's Ghost Mansion, and Takamaru's Ninja...
Wii U GamePad controller hands-on
Viewed side-by-side with its prototype predecessor, the sleeker retail version of the Wii U's GamePad may look like a device subtly changed.
But those minor tweaks to the touchscreen-sporting controller add up.
The version that will ship with the diminutive console has vastly improved thumbsticks that can also be pressed in to serve as buttons, a sleeker body, and molded grips.
Perhaps the most significant change to the Wii U's controller, though, is that gamers will be able to use two of them with the console.

'ZombiU' uses the Wii U GamePad to fight and become zombies
At Nintendo's E3 press conference today, Ubisoft showed off how upcoming title ZombiU will use the Wii U's tablet controller.
Players can hack locked doors using a pinpad on the controller to punch in numbered codes. The tablet can also be used as a radar, scanner, and shooter scope.
You can also use the tablet controller to "zombify" yourself. Players hold the tablet controller up to their face and the game will transform the image into that of a decaying zombie face.
'LEGO City: Undercover' coming to Nintendo Wii U
LEGO City: Undercover is coming to Wii U with a number of special control features only possible on the Wii U's controller. The news came during today's Nintendo E3 press conference.
In the demo, we saw no-nonsense policeman Chase McCain solve crimes using the Wii U controller: a dispatcher appeared on the screen giving a mission; the player scanned the television screen with the controller as a sort of X-Ray device; McCain hopped around a city, flying helicopters, falling down giant pits and dismantling everything in sight.
In place of the silent film style of previous LEGO games was...
'Sing' bringing karaoke to Wii U
The Wii U will be getting a new karaoke franchise called Sing. Developed by FreeStyleGames, the makers of DJ Hero, Sing allows friends to gather around the TV and make fools of themselves across a variety of pop songs.
Nintendo premiered the game during the company's 2012 E3 press conference. The debut trailer showed off the ability to read lyrics off the Wii U GamePad, so that singers can stand at the front of the room, facing out into their friends as they belt their hearts out. The trailer also showed off a Wii U-friendly microphone attachment.
Sing is currently a working title, so the...
Wii Fit U shown at Nintendo's E3 press briefing
At Nintendo's E3 press briefing this morning, the company showed the latest version of its popular Wii Fit series, and the first for Wii U. Wii Fit U will include new events as you would expect, and takes things one step further by letting players upload data from an external device; in the presentation, a woman uploaded data from a run into the system to sync up with her in-game stats.
A video in the presentation showed the same woman moving on the Wii Fit Balance Board to jump on a trampoline in the game, a man holding the Wii U controller in front of himself to simulate using a...
'Scribblenauts Unlimited' announced for Wii U
Scribblenauts Unlimited will bring the word-based puzzle-platformer to Nintendo's Wii U console, 5th Cell just revealed during Nintendo's E3 2012 press conference.
Scribblenauts Unlimited allows players to use the Wii U tablet to create their own objects, and then register them in the series' trademark magic notebook. A trailer showed a player (and two players!) combining objects and assets to add their own creations — like a dog that's also a car. Scribblenauts will also have multiplayer, though that mode was not detailed.
The trailer also teased a 3DS version of the game.
Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition announced for Wii U
Warner Bros took the stage at this year's E3 Nintendo Press Conference to announce Batman: Arkham City for the Wii U this fall. This updated version of the Game of the Year edition released May 29th of this year will include additional content specifically tailored to the Wii U GamePad's screen, including the ability to select equipment on the GamePad screen, and each character has new armor with a built-in screen in their wrist gauntlet to match.
Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition will release for Wii U this fall when the Wii U launches.
Wii U supports two GamePads, Nintendo confirms
Nintendo confirmed at E3 2012 that the Wii U will support use of two GamePad controllers at once.
At last year's E3, Nintendo would only confirm that one of the Wii U touchscreen controllers would interact with the system at a given time, with other players using Wii Remotes to play multiplayer games. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said that at this year's E3, Nintendo would be focusing on single GamePad experiences, but that dual GamePad games would be shown in the future.
Nintendo also outlined much of the cosmetic and layout tweaks in the updated Wii U GamePad, including...
Nintendo E3 2012 press conference live video
The next-generation of gaming from Nintendo will be unveiled at the company's E3 2012 media briefing, where Nintendo will showcase the Wii U in its final form.
Nintendo will have more than just hardware to tout, of course, because Nintendo is all about the games. Expect to see the latest on New Super Mario Bros. for Wii U as well as an all-new Pikmin. But what else? Only Nintendo knows.
If you're body is ready, watch live video from Nintendo's press conference below and follow along with Polygon and The Verge's liveblog coverage of the company's E3 briefing.
'Pikmin 3' announced for Wii U
At Nintendo's E3 press conference this morning, the company announced a brand new Pikmin game for the Wii U.
Pikmin 3 utilizes the enhanced resolution of the Wii U to show Pikmin in greater details. Pikmin can find objects to build bridges, and new animations make the Pikmin appear even more like tiny, live ants.
A new rock Pikmin was introduced. Rock Pikmin can break objects. The motion technology of the Wii U allows accurate positioning and throwing of Pikmin at enemies.
The tablet controller will always display the game's map, deepening strategies in placing and controlling your...
Rayman Legends for Wii U features GamePad controlled lightning bug
At it's E3 press conference this afternoon, Ubisoft showed off a live demo of Rayman Legends for the Wii U. The game will feature five-player co-op and support the Wii U tablet controller, newly-announced Wii U Pro controller, and classic Wii motes.
Rayman, Globox and the Teensies are back in the new game that has them traveling through a series of legendary worlds with new environments, characters and enemies. The game will include a mix of themed levels, including several musical maps and a medieval themed map. You can also play the game online with friends, working your way through a...
'Rabbids Land' revealed during Ubisoft E3 press conference, coming to Wii U
Rabbids Land is coming to the Wii U according to an announcement during today's Ubisoft E3 press conference.
The upcoming Rabbids title, revealed in a trailer, joins the growing roster of Wii U games developed by Ubisoft, including YourShape and Sports Connection.
Rabbids Land was initially rumoured in May when a job listing for a game title Rabbids Party Land was spotted on a developer's resume online. The game has since gone through a title change.
Ubisoft announces ZombiU exclusively for Wii U
At its E3 2012 press conference, Ubisoft has revealed a new Wii U exclusive game titled ZombiU.
An all-CG trailer for the game didn't give us a good idea of what the actual gameplay will be, but it provided some hints. As you might expect from a zombie game, ZombiU seems to be dark and gory. In one freeze-framed scene, a man surrounded by zombies had just shot himself rather than be consumed.
If the settings and music from the trailer are any indication, ZombiU takes place takes place in Britain, one region that arguably hasn't been overexposed to this style of game.
Ubisoft didn't mention...
Just Dance 4 dancing to Wii U
Ubisoft will bring its bestselling dancing game to the Wii U this holiday. The publisher announced that the next big entry, Just Dance 4, will be released for Nintendo's Wii U - and the plain old Wii, of course - later this year.
Expect much of the same feel-good dancing to pop tunes fun, with a few new additions, including something called "Puppet Master" mode, which appears to let the person piloting the Wii U game pad control the action while others shake Wii Remotes. The Wii U version promises standalone gameplay for those dancing with themselves.
You might also expect a Flo Rida tune...
Wii U's online gaming and 'Miiverse' outlined, including video chat and web client
One of the biggest open questions in Nintendo's Wii U strategy has been its online component. The company has wasted no time in outlining some key aspects of its connected feature set in a pre-E3 presentation. In the (painfully-over-the-top cheesy) video demonstration, after dying in a nondescript Wii U survival horror game, the player selects his mood on the Gamepad and sends out a message to a forum generally commenting and asking for advice on beat a level. His friend sees the cry for help via his smartphone, in what we're assuming is a web-based client. (If anyone saw the Super Guide...

WASHINGTON — Special delivery from the post office — beer, wine and spirits, if Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe has his way.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Donahoe said Thursday delivery of alcoholic beverages is on his wish list as the agency considers ways to raise revenue and save money after losing $16 billion last year. He also said he endorses ending most door-to-door and Saturday mail deliveries as a way to help stabilize the service's finances.
Donahoe said delivering alcohol has the potential to raise as much as $50 million a year. He mentioned how customers might want to, for example, mail bottles of wine home when they tour vineyards. Donahoe said his agency has looked at the possibility of using special boxes that would hold two, four or six bottles and ship for a flat-rate anywhere in the country.
"There's a lot of money to be made in shipping beer, wine and spirits," Donahoe said. "We'd like to be in that business."
The Postal Service says mailing alcoholic beverages is currently restricted by law. Customers are even told to cover any logos or labels if they use alcoholic beverage boxes for shipments.
The agency is also urging changes in how it delivers the mail. A House committee has passed legislation to stabilize the Postal Service's ailing finances that would cut letter deliveries to five days and phase out door-to-door deliveries over 10 years. The bill does not include a provision to allow the agency to deliver alcohol.
The Senate passed a postal reform bill last year that included a provision allowing the agency to deliver alcohol. The bill would require that such shipments would have to comply with any state laws where the shipment originated and was delivered. The measure also said the recipient would have to be at least 21 years old and would need to provide valid, government-issued photo identification upon delivery.
The agency faces $15 billion in losses this year and is working toward restructuring its retail, delivery and mail processing operations.

Trading with Stock Options Quotes
Investing in the stock market is a proven way to become wealthy if you know what you are doing. And one popular way a person can get a piece of stock trading is with trading stock options by researching stock options quotes platforms available.
A stock option is essentially a promise from a company that you can invest in that particular company. With a stock option, you have the flexibility to "bet" on either the company making money and growing or losing money and doing poorly. Stock options could be a great way to start a healthy and wealthy career in investing and a way to get started is by researching the best stock options quotes platforms that the market offers.
Where to find Stock Options quotes.
Stock options trading entails many details so In order to get real time stock options quotes you need to purchase a license from the stock exchanges to do so. When you or I just want to look up a stock market quote on any old informational site online, what we'll usually end up getting is a stock market quote that is 15-20 minutes delayed.The stock price or quote, should announce with a disclaimer letting you know that the data is delayed.
Since delayed quotes are the universal norm on the web, where do you go to find updated, live stock market quotes First off, you can check with your brokerage account. even sometimes your stock market prices will still be delayed with them, they often have premium services that you can subscribe to for getting live stock options quotes.
One of the best websites that offers real time options quotes in order to make profitable trading decisions go and research websites that give you free stock market data, also provides opportunities for investors to choose from different trading strategies offered in their forums and also by assessing different stock picking strategies.
Importance of stock options quotes and trading.
When people refer to options trading they could actually be referring to a number of different securities. Options are traded on all types of securities (forex, commodities, stocks, etc.)
Stock option traders buy and sell contracts with an agreement made between two or more parties, A stock option contract grants the buyer of that contract certain rights. It gives them the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a certain stock at an agreed upon price. So the easiest way to explain stock option trading is that it is the business of buying and selling contracts.
Stock options trading can be quite tricky considering market events and trends, so in order to choose the best entry positions you need a reliable stock options quotes trading platform to decide what positions to take. The site should be easy enough to navigate. There is an SEC requirement where licensed brokers must ensure that clients will get the best available prices in the market. You need to Research that your online options quotes broker is up to date with National Best Bid or Offer by the SEC. In order to be a successful options trader you need to Know the basics and have a the knowledge and skills of the best tools available in the market which will help ensure that you get the best possible deals in

Burnin' up
Original post made on Nov 21, 2008
If you haven't heard by now, Fire Station No. 6 on East Avenue is home to the world's longest burning light bulb at 107 years old.

This light has been on for about as long as De La Salle has been winning football games.

I had an opportunity to see the light bulb. Quite interesting to realize you are observing a piece of history. Imagine if the bulb could recite all the events that's taken place during its existence...
Let's hope it burns for another 107 years...

I wonder what that bulb's carbon footprint has been over the past 107 years and how many polar bears it has killed off.

Hi all!!
"Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation!"
(Psalm 68:19)
I've just finished putting a collection of Easter Cards together. Now the beauty of these cards is that you can keep on giving them.
Because they can be yours in digital PDF format that, after you download, you can print and send over and over again… and keep on blessing over and over again… and in the process you get blessed over and over again. Also, you can be sharing the TRUE MESSAGE of Easter with those who don't know Christ.
But hey, it doesn't stop there. The proceeds raised from this card making venture goes toward mission work in Uganda and Kenya. So even by just ordering the cards you are blessing someone on the other side of the world.
So I invite you to join in this PERPETUAL BLESSING by VIEWING AND ORDERING the cards.
God bless you!! Hope you like this.
And, btw, if you like this collection, you can share this with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, email, etc. Just click on the SHARE BUTTONS at the bottom of this post. That would be super awesome.
"Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."
(Psalm 103:1-5)

MORTON, Ill. -- Students at Morton Junior High School are getting a lesson in community service outside of the classroom.
More than 400 students fanned out throughout the village on Wednesday as part of a community-wide 'Help-A-Thon.'
This is the first year for the event.
For two hours Wednesday morning, students did a variety of community projects, including washing fire trucks, assisting at a local library and helping out an area food bank.
"Our goal with this whole thing is that it could be more than just a fundraiser," said Principal Lee Hoffman. "We were hoping that we could give the students an opportunity to learn about service to learn about community, and hopefully that happens today."
"I think that it's very important. If we don't then, then the older people of our community will think that all teenagers are bad and that they don't help out with anything," said 8th grader Gabe Seaman.
The students also used their community service to raise some money.
Before the event, students asked for sponsors to support their community service with monetary pledges.
The money they raised will be used to help various charities.
