Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 review: bad blood
By Philip Kollar on Feb 25, 2014 02.25.14
The first Lords of Shadow was released to a skeptical Castlevania fanbase in 2010. Despite the problems some had with developer MercurySteam's handling of the beloved franchise, it found a following, thanks in part to several major late-game twists. This left players buzzing for a sequel, and after a brief handheld sidestory in last year's Mirror of Fate, the true follow-up is finally here. But this conclusion to MercurySteam's run on Castlevania is a far cry from the exciting potential suggested by the first game's cliffhanger ending. Lords of Shadow 2 fosters brief reminders of what made the first game special, but its novel premise is squandered on boring environments, terrible set piece moments and all-but-outright refusal to deliver on the over-the-top narrative that drew me in...

Longtime Castlevania producer leaves Konami
By Owen S. Good on Aug 30, 2014 08.30.14
Dave Cox, a 17-year veteran at Konami with the Castlevania series, has left the company, he said yesterday via Twitter. Cox, most recently a producer for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, said via Twitter that he will move on to another project before taking a break. "I want to thank Konami for the opportunity and all those people who supported me and the team on our journey," he said. He joined Konami in 1997 as a product manager. He also has credits on Silent Hill, Pro Evolution Soccer, and Metal Gear Solid. Recently, Koji Igarashi, a longtime Castlevania developer with a 20-year history on the series, quit Konami in March to set forth on his own.

New boss named for Konami USA
By Colin Campbell on Mar 03, 2014 03.03.14
Konami today announced a new company president, Tomohiro Uesugi, who will handle the firm's U.S. video game operations. It's been almost two years since Konami veteran Tomoyuki Tsuboi was appointed to the role of president for Los Angeles-based Konami Digital Entertainment Inc. According to a company spokesperson, he is being "transferred back to Japan" in a shuffle that, the spokesperson added, is "fairly standard for Japanese companies." Prior to joining Konami as an executive vice president in 2013, Uesugi worked at electronics manufacturer Sanyo, and has experience in the banking and financial sectors. He has spent the last year running internal departments at Konami in the U.S. such as HR and accounts. "I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to serve as the head of our...

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Revelations DLC may introduce a playable Alucard
By Jenna Pitcher on Mar 03, 2014 03.03.14
Upcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 "Revelations" DLC may see players take on the role of Alucard, according to content reportedly found in the game's text files by CS.RIN.RU forum member UbiSergei. The content's description states that Alucard will be a playable character where players can discover new plotlines and uncover and "discover the true extent of Alucard's involvement." First appearing in 1989 game Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse, Alucard is the son of Dracula, the anti-hero of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, and a human called Lisa. The half vampire was the main protagonist in 1997's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and fights his father in Dracula's Curse and Castlevania Legends with other the vampire hunters.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - Overview video
By Griffin McElroy on Feb 26, 2014 02.26.14
It's a concept that Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 leans into, albeit selectively. Don't get me wrong: Dracula's not weak by any stretch of the imagination. He's powerful enough to put the fear of God into ... well, the Devil. But when he encounters a dude with a big gun, his only means of survival is to turn into a bunch of rats? The hierarchy of power in this world is awfully confusing. In today's Overview, Phil walks me through one of the opening sections of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, which includes one of the Chu Chu Rocket-esque segments referenced above. Watch as we sneak through a factory, defeat a boss and uncover the first Chaos Emerald, thwarting both Dr. Robotnik and Satan in one fell swoop.

See the big swords of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2's launch trailer
By Samit Sarkar on Feb 24, 2014 02.24.14
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 features a formidable collection of swords to go along with its impressive cast of characters, according to the game's launch trailer, which was released by publisher Konami today. A variety of long blades can be seen in the trailer, whether they're being pointed ominously off to the side, plunged into the chest of a winged beast or engulfed in demonic flames. And with permutations of the phrase "blood is," the trailer offers glimpses of the story in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. At the end of the original Castlevania: Lords of Shadow — spoiler alert! — Gabriel Belmont turned out to be Dracula. In this follow-up, he's stuck in the present day in a weakened state, and a previous acquaintance offers him a way out of his torment. Castlevania: Lords of...

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2's Dracula is a Tony Soprano nosferatu
By Jenna Pitcher on Feb 18, 2014 02.18.14
MercurySteam wants Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 to cause players to constantly question what constitutes as evil and leave players uncertain of the protagonist's intentions throughout the game, right through to the very end. Speaking to Polygon at a recent event in Sydney, the game's producer Dave Cox uses Tony Soprano from the television drama The Sopranos as an example. "When you think about Tony Soprano as a character, you find yourself going, 'Tony is great, I really like Tony'," Cox said. "And all of the sudden he starts viciously murdering someone. Those kind of scenes bring you back to reality and make you question the character." The Lords of Shadow games follow protagonist's Gabriel Belmont's fall into darkness and transformation into Dracula. The first game, Lords of...

Some 20 firefighters from across Pennsylvania met in Middletown Friday afternoon in preparation for a little trip out west.
They'll be going to Alaska because—believe it or not—they were one of the closest companies available. There have just been so many other fires raging around the country.
"There's always an adrenaline rush with this," said Rick Deppen, Assistant Forest Manager with the Colonial Penn Forest District. "When you get that call up and knowing that you're going to get utilized and go somewhere like Alaska."
Wayne Martin of Montgomery County has been to Alaska to fight wildfires before. He says there are going to be some long days.
"Your camp can be quite a ways away," he said. "So by the time you get back in, get re-supplied for the next day, it's usually about a 16 hour day."
Adam Kling of Duncannon is also making the trip. What's he expecting?
"I'm not sure. I've never been to Alaska," he said. "So I'm not really sure what to expect, but I'm looking forward [to it], hopefully we can get a lot of good, hard work done for them and make a good impression for Pennsylvania."
These guys told us they love their jobs, but they get extra motivation from the support they receive from the community.
Martin was in Colorado Springs last year to fight those wildfires, and the residents saluted them daily.
"Every morning when we came and went from the fire, they were rallied on the street," said Martin. "It was like we were on parade every day. And it was really something to feel. It was very powerful."
"The biggest thrill is when you walk through an airport," said Deppen. "They see you in green and yellow...people stopping and thanking you."

Computer Science
Avg. Starting Salary: $58,400*
Mid-career Salary: $100,000*
*Source: PayScale College Salary Report 2012-13
What differentiates computer science from IT or Management Information Systems is that it's an engineering degree, with harder math and science requirements and fewer business-oriented classes.
"Computer science is hot again, not just for geeky students but also for really talented math, engineering and science students," says Matthew Bauer, director of the undergraduate computer science program at IIT. He added that IIT's undergraduate computer science program has doubled from 30 to 60 majors in the last four years.
[COMBINING MAJORS: Hybrid technology degrees emerging]
Bauer says recent computer science graduates who are commanding $70,000-plus starting salaries have held multiple internships and a summer job in the IT industry.
"We urge students to get internships. It's not just your degree that's important. It's also about summer jobs," Bauer says. "In computer science, a degree is not enough. You've got to show you have talent. You can't go home and be a lifeguard at the pool every summer if you want a job at graduation."
IIT's computer science grads are being hired by Google, Microsoft and Motorola as well as financial services firms such as Goldman Sachs.
"The computer science degree shows an accomplishment in technology and engineering and math, and having that background is more valuable to start than having a business background like an MIS degree," Bauer says. "We're building the communications and leadership skills in our computer science majors so they can become the managers of [MIS majors].''
Software Engineering
Avg. Starting Salary: $59,100*
Mid-career Salary: $90,700*
*Source: PayScale College Salary Report 2012-13
Like computer science, software engineering is a more mathematically oriented degree than alternatives offered in business schools such as IT, IS or MIS degrees. But it's slightly less popular than computer science. For example, Rose-Hulman is graduating 60 computer science majors each year compared to 45 or 50 software engineers.
"In computer science, I am writing languages for computers and lots of algorithms, such as Google's search algorithms. In software engineering, I'm building a system that's larger than I am in computer science. It's like building a skyscraper vs. a house," Bohner explains.
While Google is recruiting Rose-Hulman's computer science grads, Microsoft favors its software engineering majors. Other companies hiring recently minted software engineers include aerospace firms and car manufacturers.
"With a software engineering degree, I can not only write software, I can build systems," Bohner says.
Bohner says he'd recommend either a software engineering degree or a computer science degree to any 17-year-old who likes math and technology.
"With these two degrees, the broadness of the jobs you can work on would be greater than studying Information Systems," he says. "With your undergraduate degree, you should always start broad and then specialize in your master's degree."
Computer Engineering
Avg. Starting Salary: $62,700*
Mid-career Salary: $105,000*
*Source: PayScale College Salary Report 2012-13
Computer engineering majors take the hardest math and science classes - including multiple courses in physics and calculus -- because their specialty is hardware, rather than software. Because the degree is so rigorous, demand for recent graduates is high and so are starting salaries.

ARCADIA, Calif. (March 20, 2011) – A series of "off" conditions combined with jockey Rafael Bejarano getting on board helped send 9-2 shot Juniper Pass to a one-half length victory over pacesetter Dahoud in Santa Anita's 60th running of the Grade II, $150,000 San Luis Rey Stakes at 1 ½ miles on Sunday.
For the first time in 36 years, the marathon event was moved off the turf on a rainy, blustery afternoon. And after taking off the blinkers that he had worn in his 10 previous races, Juniper Pass responded to the off conditions of a "wet fast" main track despite never having raced over a surface other than grass. It didn't hurt either that turf marathon standouts Champ Pegasus and Bourbon Bay were off to Dubai.
Bejarano, atop the 4-year-old son of Lemon Drop Kid for the first time, rode him masterfully. New Zealand-bred Dahoud figured as the only speed horse in a field of six, but Bejarano never let him out of his sights. In close pursuit the entire long-distance journey, Juniper Pass nailed Dahoud, ridden by Joel Rosario, in the closing yards.
The final time was 2:32.64. The dawdling fractions included a half in 51.25, six furlongs in 1:17.95 and one mile in 1:43.44. Imponente Purse, with Chantal Sutherland aboard, finished third, 4 ½ lengths behind Dahoud.
Juniper Pass had finished a well-beaten fifth behind Champ Pegasus, Bourbon Bay and Haimish Hy in the Feb. 19 San Luis Obispo Stakes, a Grade II at 1 ½ miles that opens Santa Anita's three-race turf marathon series which concludes with the historic Grade II San Juan Capistrano Handicap at 1 ¾ miles on April 17.
"The last thing I wanted to do was take on Bourbon Bay and Champ Pegasus again," said Ray Bell, the trainer of Juniper Pass, in reference to the pair that has departed to take part in the $5 million Dubai Sheema Classic on March 26. Haimish Hy, a deep closer, became the 8-5 favorite in the San Luis Rey. But, the way the race unfolded, his come-from-behind style was nullified. Haimish Hy finished fourth, 7 ½ lengths behind Imponente Purse.
The decision to switch jockeys in order to procure Bejarano's services was made after the San Luis Obispo. Brice Blanc had been a key factor in the early development of Juniper Pass. But following the colt's fifth-place finish in his last start, co-owner Robert Irwin asked Bell if "another jockey might get along better with the horse." After Bejarano worked the $170,000 auction purchase, Bell said Juniper Pass "seems to be doing better than ever."
According to Bell, he did not say anything to his new rider concerning instructions prior to the bay colt's first stakes victory. "I left it up to the jock, and thank God I did," said Bell. "He knew what kind of pace they were going. I told the jock to just play it by ear. We knew that Dahoud would be on the lead. That was the only thing we knew. I kind of left it up to Rafael."
"My horse ran really well for his first time on the dirt," Bejarano said. "He surprised everybody. I knew the No. 8 (Dahoud) was going to go to the lead and try and slow the pace. My only chance was to put my horse right behind the speed the whole way around. I'm glad it worked out. My horse showed me a big kick in the stretch. The other horse (Dahoud) came running, but my horse was very strong."
Juniper Pass paid $11.20, $4.20 and $3.20. The mutuels on Dahoud were $3.60 and $3. The show price on Imponente Purse was $3.60. The winner earned $90,000 to increase his career earnings to $194,380 for Irwin and his wife, Betty, of Pacific Palisades. The record of Juniper Pass became 3-1-2 in 11 races.
Bejarano didn't encounter much competition later in the program when he guided odds-on choice Mildly Offensive to an easy 4 ¼-length win in the 26th running of the $100,000 Santa Paula Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at 6 ½ furlongs on the main track.
The Kentucky-bred daughter of Sharp Humor validated what trainer Carla Gaines called a "monster win" in her maiden debut by moving right into stakes company and proving dominant while traversing the distance in 1:15.70.
She popped the gate for Bejarano, who let her settle behind California Nectar and Tiz the Route. Mildly Offensive was urged nearing the far turn, and she quickly spurted to the front and began to open up. The bay filly crossed the wire in hand as Hout Bay closed gamely for second, 5 ¼ lengths ahead of third-place Justenufappeal in the field of six.
Mildly Offensive's winning margin was the same as she had recorded in her only previous start while blitzing a solid field of maiden fillies over a "wet fast" surface and being timed in 1:08 1/5 for six furlongs.
"It's always a little scary, the second race after a monster win," Gaines had said before the Santa Paula. "I have a feeling she'll do good things." "She ran to our expectations," the trainer said afterward. "My filly was the best filly in the race," Bejarano stated flatly.
After increasing her earnings to $92,400 for owner Warren Williamson, Mildly Offensive paid $3, $2.40 and $2.10. Hout Bay, ridden by Rosario, paid $3.60 and $2.80. Justenufappeal, with Joe Talamo aboard, paid $3.40 to show.
After dark days on Monday and Tuesday, Santa Anita on Wednesday returns to a five-day-a-week racing schedule the balance of the meeting that concludes on April 17. First post for Wednesday's eight-race program is at 1 p.m.

So what's the big deal with raw aloe vera gel? Here's five interesting facts:
1. It promotes hair growth: activates new hair growth along with the growth of already existing hair follicles by increasing blood circulation to the scalp.
2. It aids with hair loss issues: known to lessen the effects of Alopecia.
3. It's a fabulous skin/hair moisturiser,
4. A great natural hair conditioner,
5. Stops dandruff and prevents it from reoccurring, due to it's anti-fungal properties.
How can we use it on our hair?
5 Home Remedies
Maintaining Hair Moisture Balance
- Mix 1/4 cup of almond oil with half a cup of aloe Vera gel. Apply the mixture on your scalp and leave it for 20 to 30 minutes. This home remedy will help in retaining the moisture level of your hair.
- You can directly squeeze the gel from a Aloe Vera plant. Massage it into your hair and scalp, cover with a shower cap/plastic bag and towel, then leave on for 30 minutes. You can try this home remedy once every 2 weeks to promote healthy hair growth.
- To make a shampoo with Aloe Vera at home, mix half a cup of Aloe Vera gel, half a cup of coconut milk and one fourth cup of wheat germ oil to form a liquid paste. Use this paste as a shampoo to wash your hair.
- Take the gel of Aloe Vera and mix it with honey. Now apply it to the scalp, leave on for 20 minutes then rinse with warm water. This home remedy will bring shine to your hair.
- Mix two tablespoons of Aloe Vera gel with a 3/4 cup of mayonnaise and a finely chopped tomato. Apply it to your hair, just before going to bed. Wrap it securely and wash out in the morning. This treatment will leave your hair feeling soft and strengthened.
Natural Aloe Vera is an ideal alternative to commercial hair products, which have harsh chemicals in them.
If you are experiencing hair loss, there are several things that could be responsible. Such as:
- Scalp infections,
- Reaction to medication,
- An illness,
- Vitamin or mineral deficiencies, etc
Please consult with your doctor, to learn the actual cause behind your hair loss, before trying natural remedies. Natural Notts highly recommends a licensed Trichologist.

When the WEC merged with the UFC, Dana hinted at the addition of a possible 125 pound division, the Flyweight Division. In 2011 it became official, with the UFC announcing a 4 man tournament to determine the first ever UFC Flyweight Champion, a tournament that will be completed this Saturday at UFC 152. Joseph Benavidez will face Demetrius "Mighty Mouse" Johnson for the Flyweight title. It will serve as the co-main event. But what happens after?
Recently I went to UFC.com and looked at their Flyweight roster. According to the site, the UFC employs 14 flyweights. In their defense, the division is brand new. However, this is the UFC. Shouldn't the 125 division be deeper? Where do we go after 152?
So I looked up the cards for UFC 153, UFC 154, UFC on FX 5, UFC on Fuel: Struve vs Stipe, UFC on Fuel: Franklin vs Cung Le, and UFC on FOX 5. Six UFC cards. And what did I find? On those six cards combined, the UFC only has two Flyweight fights scheduled...Just two. TUF winner John Dodson will face Jussier da Silva at UFC on FX 5 and Yasuhiro Urushitani will face John Lineker at UFC on Fuel 6.
I'm sure both fights will be good, competitive fights, but this seems like a very poor effort on the UFC's part to keep the division moving. I'm sure there will be more signings and more bookings for this division, but right now the UFC, in my opinion, isn't doing everything they can to make this division as good as it can be right now. Just two fights for the next six shows? I know, I know, it's going to take some time for this division to fully get established. But in order to get the division established, you need to sign fighters. More than 14. And you need to book fights. More than 2.
The UFC is making history this weekend by crowning the first ever UFC Flyweight Championship. But then what?

"Au Clair de la Lune" is a common French folk song that dates back to at least the mid-18th Century. In 2008, the earliest known recording of the human voice was digitized, and the unknown singer on the recording is singing a small snippet of "Au Clair de la Lune". The song references the French version of the Commedia Dell'Arte - Pierrot is the French version of Pedrolino, and Harlequin is the French version of Arlecchino. We can presume that our unnamed lady is Columbina/Columbine. It's unknown whether the original version of the song used these character names, or whether they were plugged in later.
Au clair de la lune
Mon ami Pierrot
Prete-moi ta plume
Pour écrire un mot.
Ma chandelle est morte
Je n'ai plus de feu
Ouvre-moi ta porte
Pour l'amour de Dieu.
Au clair de la lune
Pierrot repondit
Je n'ai pas de plume
Je suis dans mon lit.
Va chez la voisine
Je crois qu'elle y est
Car dans sa cuisine
On bat le briquet.
Au clair de la lune
L'aimable Harlequin
Frappe chez la brune
Elle repond soudain.
Qui frappe de la sorte?
Il dit a son tour
Ouvrez votre porte
Pour le Dieu d'Amour.
Au clair de la lune
On n'y voit qu'un peu
On chercha la plume
On chercha du feu
En cherchant d'la sorte
Je ne sais ce qu'on trouva
Mais je sais que la porte
Sur eux se ferma.
English Translation:
In the light of the moon, Pierrot, my friend
Loan me your pen to write something down
My candle's dead, I've got no flame to light it
Open your door, for the love of God!
In the light of the moon, Pierrot replied
I don't have a pen, I'm in bed
Go to the neighbor's, I think she's there
Because someone just lit a match in the kitchen
In the light of the moon, likable Harlequin
Knocked on the brunette's door, and she responded immediately
Who's knocking like that? And he replied
Open your door, for the God of Love!
In the light of the moon, you can barely see anything
Someone looked for a pen, someone looked for a flame
In all of that looking, I don't know what was found
But I do know that those two shut the door behind them.

Being "flocked" Helps out with a Cause to Help the Handicap
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 02 July 2013 00:14
- Written by Super User
Island Women is a local nonprofit group of women with a mission to improve the quality of life on the island for residents and guest. They are involved in several projects to help in their endeavors.
One of their projects is the Beach Wheelchair Project, and the goal is to make it easier for those that cannot walk easily in the sand to enable them to have access to the beach. There were some chairs available but it was not enough to meet supply and demand of those in need.
The group then bought about 200 yard flamingos and created a fundraiser. What would happen was that you would wake up and there would be a flock of these birds in your front yard, they would move once a donation was received. They "flocked" people throughout the island moving the birds from yard to yard for eight weeks. During that period of time, they received donations totaling more than $20,000 and with help from Carolina Beach Town Council and grants they were able buy 10 new all-terrain wheelchairs.
Pleasure Island now has a total of 18 wheelchairs; there are three at Fort Fisher State Park, five at Kure Beach and 10 at Carolina Beach and all are free to use. All you would have to do is call and the chairs would be made available for you to use. At Fort Fisher, call 910-458-5798; Kure Beach Fire Department call 910-458-5798 and at Carolina Beach Recreational Center, call 910-458-2977.
The all-terrain wheelchairs were designed by Persistent Fabrication Corp., a fabrication company, and were designed to be functional and user friendly while being sturdy enough to withstand daily use in a resort environment. Both the frame and upholstery are UV protected and the upholstery is fire retardant as well. All the hardware used on the chairs is either plastic, aluminum or stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The wheels and tires were chosen for their all-terrain capability.
In Carolina Beach, Simon Saunders, head of Ocean Rescue, is working on closing the bottom of six lifeguard stands so six of the beach wheelchair can be housed at the bottom of the beach handicap accessible ramps. You will still need to check out the chairs through the recreational center, but soon you will be able to pick them up at the beach.
Lacy Ford, member of Island Women, is working hard to continue to bring awareness of this free service. They are still accepting donations for the Beach Wheelchair Project, for maintenance, the city to maintain and other utilities needed. You can donate by logging in their website at islandwomen.org or by mailing to Island Women, P.O. Box 1212, Carolina Beach, NC 28428. Make check payable to Island Women, and in the memo line print Beach Wheelchair Project. Like them on Facebook and you will be able to follow them with what progresses that are being made with their projects and what events that they are holding.

Only part of page scrolls
From time to time I come across pages that employ this type of movement. They have a part that stays in place or moves slower than a scrolling part. Could someone point me in the correct direction to begin learning how this is done? I am sensing that it is with jQuery or just JavaScript. e.g. http://www.msnbc.com/ Thanks

Yes, that effect is handled by JS. Unfortunately, there are some 70 JS files linked to that page. so tracking down which one it is won't be fun. Ideally, find a leaner page with the same effect.
You could get a similar effect by just fixing the position of the sidebar, but it wouldn't be easy to make it adjust to the scroll position, though.

While I was (and am still a little) curious to know whether Hannah is technically a person with a disability, I've known since the moment I learned of her plans to join our family that she would be influenced by disability. We focus on the positives, but I know there will be many times that she, too, is negatively impacted by ableism. All of our family members have been affected and if you have a loved one with a disability, you probably have been too.
The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) is conducting a research study with Easter Seals to better understand the everyday influences of a family member's disability. I'm really interested in their findings, but as I'm unfortunately very aware of in my own dissertation study-the data collection proceeds the results. If you'd like to participate in this study. The information is below. I did it and it only takes a few minutes.
The American Association of People with Disabilities, in partnership with Easter Seals, has retained/hired national polling firm Harris Interactive to conduct a survey about how family members are affected by disability. Millions of American families today have someone in their family with a disability; by taking part in this research you are helping raise awareness of the types of issues you and your family encounter.
What's this survey about?
In this survey, we would like to hear your thoughts on how disabilities affect you and your family.
What will the survey be used for?
The American Association of People with Disabilities and Easter Seals will jointly use these findings to educate policymakers and service providers on the needs of families living with disability today.
How long will it take?
15 minutes
Will my answers be secure?
Your answers will be secure, anonymous, and will not be used for marketing or solicitation of any kind.
If you are ready to take the survey and make your thoughts heard just click on the link below!

NOAA: World In 2013 Was 4th Hottest On Record
AP Photo / Charlie Riedel
NASA, which calculates records in a different manner, said Tuesday that 2013 was the seventh warmest on record, with an average temperature of 58.3 degrees (14.6 Celsius).
Both agencies said nine of the 10th warmest years on record have happened in the 21st century. The hottest year was 2010.
A global insurance firm says there were 41 billion-dollar weather disasters last year. Unlike 2012, most of the heat and disasters were outside the United States.

DOVER, Del. (AP) - State public health officials are considering new regulations regarding screening of newborn babies for certain medical disorders.
Officials are proposing regulations governing the screening of infants for metabolic, hematologic, endocrinology related, and certain structural disorders.
The regulations stem from the adoption by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in 2011 of recommendations to add screening for critical congenital heart disease to uniform screening standards.
The proposed regulations are subject to public comment and can be reviewed in the current edition of the Delaware Register of Regulations.

PlayStation History: The Third Place (PS3 Era)
Another day, another Sony Computer Entertainment video focusing on the history of PlayStation. Today we're taking a look at the PlayStation 3, and boy did it change things for Sony.
Stepping into the arena of high definition gaming, and video for the first time Sony unleashed the PlayStation 3 upon the world in November 2006 in the United States and Japan; and Europe in March 2007.
The console may have been a close on/off again second place alongside the Xbox 360 (the Wii managed to shift more units) but it had a ton of exclusive games and technology which set it apart from its competitors. Featuring a Blu Ray drive the PS3 opened the door for single disc games, whereas the Xbox shipped the same level of on multiple DVD's. Games? You had the Uncharted series, Demons Souls, LittleBigPlanet, Infamous, Resistance, Motorstorm, Metal Gear Solid 4 and more - all of those games were only available on the third, much vaunted console from Sony. That's not to say there weren't any mistakes made, a $599 launch price and a distinct lack of games in the first year come to mind.
But they turned all of that bad karma around and here we are, on the cusp of a new generation of consoles with three consoles behind us to give us hope Sony will push it out the door with new franchises and most of all - fun.
Happy PS3 memories anyone?

Yoga Asanas to Manage Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome
is a condition in which pressure on a nerve that leads from your spinal cord to your
causes numbness pain or tingling in your hands or
. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage formed by ligaments in your wrist through which nerves and tendons pass. When the muscles and ligaments of the carpal tunnel become swollen or inflamed, they compress the median nerve which leads to your thumb and first two fingers. This pressure causes
or numbness. In some cases both wrists are affected.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is more common in women than men, and is often found in workers whose tasks require repeating the same motion in the fingers and hand for long periods of time.
A study at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. found that after eight weeks of performing
yoga exercises
, the group had significantly less pain and greater hand strength, whereas the control group (non-yogic) experienced no significant reduction in pain or increase in hand strength.
sit on chair, trunk upright, press hands into chair, press
blades into back, move shoulders back and down.
Anjali Mudra or Prayer position
: press palms and fingers together, stretch and bend fingers.
Urdhva Hastasana:
Stand with your feet together and arms at your sides. Feel the soles of your feet softening into the floor and the firmness of the floor supporting your weight evenly across each foot. Allow the breath to move freely along the full length of your torso, without bloating the belly. Surrender your shoulders and begin your inhalation, feeling your breath across your back as you raise your arms. You should sense lightness and length in your arms.
Keep arms straight and shoulders down.
Hold the position for several breaths.
: Same as above, clasp fingers, turn palms upward.
Chair twist:
sit sideways in chair with right side against back of chair. Place hands on back of chair, twist to the right using hands for additional support. Repeat on other side.
Stand with the big toes touching. Lift up all your toes and let them fan out, then drop them down creating a wide solid base. You can separate your heels slightly if your ankles are knocking together uncomfortably. Bring your weight evenly onto all four corners of both feet. Let the feet and the calves root down into the floor. Engage the
and draw them upward, causing your knee caps to rise. Rotate both thighs inward, creating a widening of the sit bones, and tuck your tailbone in between the sit bones. Tone the belly, drawing it in slightly. Widen the collar bones and make sure the shoulders are parallel to the
. The neck is long, the crown of the head rises toward the ceiling, and the shoulder blades slide down the back. It may seem like you are just standing there, but bringing the body into alignment is hard work.
Urdhva Mukha Svanasana
: involves pushing with your arms into the floor, straightening them, and focusing more on an extension of your spine than strictly a deeper coiling backbend like
. Lie prone on the floor. Stretch your legs back, with the tops of your feet on the floor. Bend your elbows and spread your palms on the floor beside your waist so that your forearms are relatively perpendicular to the floor. Inhale and press your inner hands firmly into the floor and slightly back, as if you were trying to push yourself forward along the floor. Then straighten your arms and simultaneously lift your torso up and your legs a few inches off the floor on an inhalation. Keep the thighs firm and slightly turned inward, the arms firm and turned out so the elbow creases face forward. Press the tailbone toward the pubis and lift the pubis toward the navel. Narrow the hip points. Firm but don't harden the buttocks. Firm the shoulder blades against the back and puff the side ribs forward. Lift through the top of the sternum but avoid pushing the front ribs forward, which only hardens the lower back. Look straight ahead or tip the head back slightly, but take care not to compress the back of the neck and harden the throat.
Urdhva Mukha Svanasana is one of the positions in the traditional
Sun Salutation
sequence. You can also practice this pose individually, holding it anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds, breathing easily. Release back to the floor or lift into Adho Mukha Svanasana with an exhalation.
Stand in tadasana, raise arms to Tee position, urn palms up, then rotate arms in small circles, first forward then back. Lift arms straight overhead, join hands in prayer position, stretch up and look up at hands.
Hands in prayer behind back
: While standing in Tadasana,
join palms behind the back, fingers pointing down and in line. Turn hands toward the trunk and then up. Raise them as high as possible between the shoulder blades. Join heels of the hands and press little fingers into the dorsal spine. Stretch fingers up. Turn upper arms outward and press shoulders back and down.
Lie flat on the back. Keep arms slightly away from thighs, palms up, heels together, and toes apart. Close eyes. Breathe deeply. Concentrate on soft, slow exhalation. Relax lower jaw, tongue, and pupils of the eyes. Relax completely and exhale slowly. Remain in pose for 10 to 15 minutes.
Each posture should be held for about 30 seconds
through the nose. Do not tense the throat and keep the shoulders away from the ears. Repeat each position

Derek Fisher cited his desire to spend more time with his family when he asked the Dallas Mavericks to release him in December, so the team's front office is annoyed that the 38-year-old point guard has resurfaced a few months later with the Oklahoma City Thunder, reports Jeff Caplan of NBA.com.
The five-time NBA champion played in only nine games for Dallas, injuring his knee in the ninth. However, when he asked the team to release him, he said that injury would take only two weeks to heal. He said the reason for his departure was to spend time with his family, noting, "being close to them remains the priority." But now, just three months later, family time has taken a backseat to basketball, as he joins the front-running Thunder for the second straight season heading toward the playoffs.
Caplan reports that Fisher never contacted the Mavericks about a possible return this season, and that the team is "agitated" over Fisher's decision. Caplan adds some interesting nuggets about why the Mavericks might feel misled by the way Fisher treated them:
... [With] 26 games left before the start of the playoffs, family concerns are no longer an issue for Fisher, who wore No. 6 for the Mavs because, as he said, he joined them on a quest for a sixth title. "This is not a pit stop," Fisher told his new Dallas teammates.
Lo and behold, he will also wear No. 6 for the Thunder. He will make his second OKC debut in as many seasons at home Wednesday against the New Orleans Hornets.
Fisher had worn No. 37 with the Thunder last year, signifying his age.
Caplan also cited a Jason Whitlock column that indicated Fisher's reason for signing with the Mavs earlier in the year was so that he could retain eligibility to be president of the NBA Players' Association -- a position to which he was re-elected over the All-Star Break. Perhaps Fisher had been planning on signing with a contender all along, but needed the middling Mavs in November for political reasons.
The Mavericks are likely out of the hunt for the playoffs, 4.5 games back of the eighth-seeded Houston Rockets, while the Thunder are second in the Western Conference and could return to the NBA Finals. Although Fisher is a liability on defense, his shot is still there; he was hitting 43.5 percent from deep with the Mavs and worked well as a distributor, averaging 3.4 assists.

Jets tolerating Sanchez's ups and downs
Mark Sanchez delivered a decent performance in a Week 16 victory, which relieved some tension among Jets players, observers say.
Revis reported Monday for the first day of the team's voluntary offseason conditioning program, a few hours after having an MRI exam at a hospital in Manhattan.||||||| Revis, who has been rehabilitating his surgically repaired left knee in Arizona, did not speak with reporters who were waiting outside the entrance to the Jets' training complex, driving past without acknowledging them.
Revis has started to run again as he rehabilitates from a torn knee ligament while his future with the New York Jets remains uncertain. The star cornerback, sidelined most of last season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, is shown running on a treadmill and doing a variety of drills in a segment on NFL Network that aired Thursday.||||||| Revis, the subject of trade rumors, will report to the team's practice facility in Florham Park, N.J., on Monday for the start of voluntary workouts. Revis didn't address the trade rumors, but says, "We'll see what happens." Revis will meet with his surgeon Russell Warren, the Giants' team doctor, in Manhattan and have an MRI exam Monday before heading to the Jets' facility.
Revis needs to participate in the New York Jets' voluntary workouts beginning next week, according to a clause in his contract, to collect $3 million in bonuses he's scheduled to earn.||||||| The star cornerback, the subject of trade rumors, has been rehabilitating his surgically repaired left knee in Arizona, but is expected to report to the team's facility in Florham Park, N.J., for the start of the Jets' offseason conditioning program next week. ESPN New York first reported on Sunday, according to sources, that the Jets planned to enforce the language in Revis' contract that requires him to participate in the workouts to get the bonus money.
Jets star cornerback Darrelle Revis, the subject of trade rumors, has earned a $1 million roster bonus as a result of a clause in his contract with New York.||||||| According to the clause, the bonus kicked in on Saturday since Revis remains on the Jets' roster - not traded or cut - at the end of the business day. There has been intense speculation over several weeks that the Jets will try to trade their best player, who is recovering from a torn knee ligament. Some believed that move could come by Saturday so the Jets could avoid the clause, but Revis' bonus counts on the Jets' salary cap, whether or not he stays on the team.
A few hours after Revis said he was "speechless" about rampant trade talk, new Jets general manager John Idzik reached out to the star cornerback Thursday to ask to "give us a chance" to evaluate the entire roster.||||||| Idzik told NBC's Pro Football Talk on Friday that Revis "reacted well" to the phone call, which came after the GM, owner Woody Johnson and coach Rex Ryan were non-committal about the cornerback's future with the team. Revis expressed his frustration on Twitter, prompting the call from Idzik, introduced as the replacement for the fired Mike Tannenbaum hours earlier. Revis, recovering from a knee injury, is expected to draw plenty of trade interest.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - More than two dozen earthquakes have rumbled through Arkansas in the past week.
Many of the temblors have been too small for people to notice, let alone cause injuries or property damage.
But a couple of residents reported feeling a 3.4 magnitude quake north of Morrilton overnight Friday.
The area north of Morrilton is 1 of 3 spots hit by quakes in recent days. Earthquakes have also shaken an area south of Clinton and another area east of Cave City.
Scott Ausbrooks of the Arkansas Geological Survey says the quakes east of Cave City are believed to have occurred naturally.
But officials aren't sure what is causing the temblors in the other two areas.
The latest round of quakes comes about two years after hundreds of earthquakes shook central Arkansas.

Rivera's resurgence leads Panthers10 Nov 13
Panthers coach went from the hot seat to a hot hand
The Panthers started the season 1-3, and Ron Rivera's future in Carolina appeared to be in jeopardy.
Fast forward to Week 10. Rivera's Panthers just beat the San Francisco 49ers. Carolina is on a five-game win streak. With a 6-3 record, the Panthers are in position to go to the playoffs.
Rivera's Panthers held on even after a rough series late in the game. Carolina fumbled twice with less than three minutes to go, but recovered each time.
Still, they had to punt and give the Niners a chance.
The defense, Rivera's specialty, came through. Drayton Florence intercepted Colin Kaepernick to seal the game, and the Panthers suddenly became a legitimate contender.
Hello, Panthers. Welcome to Legitimate Town. You look like you might stay a while.—
Bart Hubbuch (@HubbuchNYP) November 11, 2013
The game had direct playoff implications.
Panthers leapfrog 49ers in the playoff picture with that win. CAR now No. 5, SF No. 6.—
Chris Burke (@ChrisBurke_SI) November 11, 2013
Rivera got a little closer to shedding a terrible reputation.
The Panthers are 2-14 under Rivera in games decided by less than a TD. #friendlyreminder—
Frank Schwab (@YahooSchwab) November 11, 2013
And the Panthers earned kudos from an unlikely fan.
Ok I see u Carolina. We appreciate that!!!! We really do. #nfcwest—

Jim Harbaugh, Rivera's opponent on Sunday and teammate in their playing days, isn't holding up as well.

If Harbaugh can't come up with something more creative than that, he's clearly not at his best.

Drupalcon Boston 2008 Logo Contest
Platinum and gold sponsors
We're having a design contest for the Drupalcon Boston 2008 logo! The winner gets the pride that comes from seeing their logo used on the conference t-shirt, and in promotion on the Drupalcon site and elsewhere.
There is very little time left before the conference, so the contest has a short fuse.
Entries must be submitted by January 25, 2008!
Technical Details
The design will be used on white, black, and colored backgrounds. It will be used on a white background on name tags, leaflets and any other public materials. We would prefer to make black T-shirts; so the logo should work well on black. (If you have a preferred T-shirt color, please indicate it in your submission.) And it will be added (in place of the default Drupal Drop) to the Theme for this site (which places it on a light blue gradient background.) We will use full color printing if necessary, but designs that do not require 4 color printing will be preferred (as it keeps T-shirt costs lower.)
Designs should initially be submitted as low resolution JPG or PNG files (height and width 500px maximum). The winning design must be provided either as an Illustrator or Photoshop native format file (.ai, .psd, or .eps) (which must be furnished immediately upon being selected.)
Of course, the entries that are variations on the Drupal Drop are most likely to win.
You will be asked to transfer your copyright in the design so it can be properly protected for the benefit of the conference and community. Your design also must not include any other copyrighted materials for which any license is required. Don't include anything which might possibly cause offense.
Design selection
Visitors to this site will be able to vote to indicate their preference for the best design. The local Drupalcon Boston 2008 organizing team will select the final winnner; community preference will be a key factor among several others in selecting the winning design. The selection will be made within a few days after the submission date close (25 January 2008).

IMF: pace of austerity must depend on economy
PARIS, France — THE pace at which countries like Greece and Spain cut their deficits with austerity measures must depend on their economic conditions, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde said yesterday.
Lagarde said that while financially weak countries should hike taxes and cut spending to heal their public finances, the pace of those measures may have to be reconsidered in some cases because "conditions have changed" — notably the slowing global economy.
Deficit reduction must be "compatible with each country's circumstances", she told reporters in Paris on her way back from the IMF's annual meeting in Tokyo last week.
Many European governments, led by Germany, have for years insisted that countries with excessive public debts focus on debt reduction measures, even if that meant the economy was damaged.
But some economists argue that the pace of austerity measures in countries like Spain and Greece is now proving counterproductive by worsening their recessions, which deprive governments of valuable tax revenue needed to cut debt.
The issue has become a hot topic of debate in the European Union, whose 27 leaders will meet Thursday and Friday to address the financial crisis.
Faced with the evidence that deficit cuts are proving increasingly difficult in some countries, German Chancellor Angela Merkel appears to be softening her stance on austerity. She said last week that although Greece was missing its deficit reduction targets — which it had promised to meet in exchange for more bailout loans — it deserved another chance.
The International Monetary Fund is in favour of giving Greece two more years to meet the agreed targets.
Merkel, who visited Athens last week, has said that extending the time frame for Greece's reforms can only be decided after a debt inspector's report, expected within weeks.
In Spain's case, the government has been imposing new austerity measures that analysts say would pre-qualify it for eurozone aid — should it want or need to request it.
Other countries that are pushing through tough budget cuts include Italy, Portugal, Ireland and even larger, traditionally more stable economies like France and Britain.

Flooding: River Leach put on flood alert (From Bicester Advertiser)
When It Happens Panel Get involved: send your photos, videos, news & views by texting 'OXFORD NEWS' to 80360 or email
Flooding: River Leach put on flood alert at Little Faringdon
11:45pm Saturday 24th November 2012 in News By William Crossley
THE River Leach along the county boundary between Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire has been put on flood alert tonight.
The Environment Agency issued the alert after further heavy rain today over the Cotswold hills in Gloucestershire pushed up water levels in the river, including the stretch near Little Faringdon, in West Oxfordshire.
There is no immediate threat to properties, with the river spilling out on to its floodplain, but nearby residents should take precautions.
The Leach joins the River Thames between Lechlade and Buscot. From Buscot, a flood warning applies along the Thames - meaning riverside properties are expected to flood - as far east as Kings Lock, north-west of Oxford.
Communities at risk include Buscot, Kelmscott, Radcot, Chimney, Northmoor, Stanton Harcourt, Bablock Hythe and the caravan park, Eynsham and Swinford.
Flood alerts also remain in force tonight on the following Oxfordshire watercourses:
- The rest of the course of the River Thames through the county, including Oxford, Abingdon and Wallingford.
- River Cherwell, from north of Banbury to Oxford
- River Evenlode from Moreton-in-Marsh to Cassington, including Charlbury
- River Ock from Watchfield to Abingdon
- River Ray from Shipton Lee to Islip
- River Thame, including Thame, Shabbington, Ickford, Waterperry, Cuddesdon, Wheatley, Quarrendon, Drayton St Leonard, Overy
- River Windrush from Bourton-on-the-Water to Newbridge, including Burford, Minster Lovell, Crawley, Witney, Ducklington and Standlake
- Chalgrove Brook, including Chalgrove and Stadhampton
- Clanfield Brook
- Langford and Wendlebury Brooks from Stratton Audley to Merton, including Bicester
- Letcombe Brook at Wantage, Grove and East Hanney
- Shill Brook at Bampton
For the latest information on flood alerts, see the Environment Agency website or call the Floodline on 0845 988 1188.
