How to Capitalize on the Back-to-School Shopping Rush
on August 13, 2012
It's time for students — from kindergartners to MBAs — to head back to school, which means many of them (or their parents) will be stocking up on supplies.
Back-to-school shopping is big business. The average family with children in kindergarten through high school will spend $688.62 to meet kids' needs this year, up from $603.63 in 2011, the National Retail Federation reports. Average college spending is up even more, from $808.71 in 2011 to $907.22 in 2012.
Here's how to capitalize on those back-to-school dollars, no matter what type of business you own:
- Offer discounts to student shoppers, particularly if you're located in a college town. Whether you run an apparel shop or a café, you're likely to attract new customers by offering a special discount or free item to students with school ID. You may take a slight loss initially, to get people in the door, but students will be more likely to return to — and spend their limited budgets in — your shop throughout the school year.
- Send out email newsletters featuring advice on back-to-school shopping. If you have a sizable email list, capitalize on it by sending out a "tip sheet" that doubles as a promotion for your company. (If you can, send your message only to parents of school-age children.) Don't just include sales pitches: Write an article full of useful advice that parents are likely to pass along to their friends. Include a store coupon in the sidebar that encourages them to act on your advice and support your company.
- Create an in-store display that targets students. Think about what merchandise you carry that would appeal to students and create compelling displays in your window or near the front of the store. For instance, if you own a bookstore, create a few "bundles" of fun recommended reads for each age group, right next to schools' "required reading" sections. Don't be afraid to use creative visual elements: This designer's back-to-school apparel display makes excellent use of those cork billboards that are ubiquitous in dorm rooms.
- Stock up on dorm supplies. The National Retail Federation found that one-quarter of college students will live in campus housing this year — the highest percentage in its survey's history. If you sell products like furniture, electronics, or artwork, target the dorm crowd by stocking inventory that's affordable and fits easily in small spaces.
- Promote gift cards to parents. The NRF's survey also found that many parents are giving their college-age kids gift cards (instead of credit cards) to pay for food, gas, and other expenses. To cash in on this trend, offer pre-paid gift cards for set dollar amounts for your store. Companies such as Valutec, StoreFinancial, and Gift Card USA can help you set up a gift card program, which should also serve you well around the holidays.

A University of Virginia biomechanical researcher may play a big part on the field during the NFL season, but you might miss it.
Richard Kent helped determine which thigh pads work and which ones do not - an important differentiation because the league has required players to wear them this season.
Kent and his colleagues from the biomechanics center tested more than 80 kinds of pads, and the NFL approved 37 of them.
"Perhaps most interesting is that the contusion risk was actually higher with some of the things that players were using as pads. So a hard plastic shell with no padding on it, for example, actually causes more pressure, especially if you hit it on the edge, than having nothing on your thigh. So we were able to identify those and come up with a recommendation that was at the threshold of a contusion," Kent said.
Kent has also worked with the NFL on multiple research projects designed to improve player safety from shoes and turf toe injuries.
His next project will be looking for ways to help eliminate high ankle sprains.

With the DN about to become overrun with mock drafts in a couple months, what do you guys think of trying out this format instead? I brought up this topic last year, but it was a little late in the year.
I love mock drafts and this format seems pretty cool. With the current format, I pretty much lose interest if it isnt the Vikings picking or a team that directly relates to the Vikings. This would be a way to keep everyone in the game and broaden our horizons a little on the other teams.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - This winter's ice storms, snow storms and sub-zero temperatures are making it difficult to keep up with mother nature, especially on the roads.
Director of public service for the City of Lansing, Chad Gamble, says they haven't run out, even though salt has been spread almost daily this January.
"We have run low a couple times and had to go to an emergency supply of salt," says Gamble. "But we have always had salt and--thank god--not had to ration any salt this year."
Gamble says the city has a great relationship with their salt suppliers in Detroit, who re-deliver almost immediately after a salt-distributing event.
Bill Conklin, managing director of the Ingham County Road Commission, also says that the salt supplier has been keeping up with deliveries, so he's not concerned. "We anticipate when we're running low and we order back-up deliveries," says Conklin.
Conklin says that Ingham is getting multiple truck-loads of salt a week from Detroit.
"There's of course plenty of salt down in the mines down below Detroit," he says. "It's just a matter of getting it above the surface, mining it, and getting it delivered to all the cities and road commissions that need it."
Both Conklin and Gamblin say their people are ready for more icy conditions. They don't foresee a salt shortage any time soon.

Key West: Sunset as a lifestyle( AP PHOTO BY AMY E. CONN / August 7, 2014 )
Every evening, visitors and locals alike flock to west end of Duval Street to mingle with the jugglers, musicians and psychics, or dine at the many outdoor restaurants and bars that have sprouted up around Mallory Square. They shop for crafts and snag a cocktail before catching the last glimpse of the sun before it sinks to the horizon.
Possibly the most celebrated sunset in North America, the Mallory Square "stage" attracts talent from all over the country, creating a highly competitive atmosphere for prime space -- and tips -- among performers.

The University of Utah has announced the finalization of a home-and-home football agreement that will take the Utes to Ann Arbor in 2014 and bring the Wolverines to Rice Eccles in 2015 for a Thursday night tilt.
Here's the full text of the release:
Utah will host Michigan in Rice-Eccles Stadium in the 2015 season opener as a part of a home-and-home series that begins with a 2014 game in Ann Arbor. Michigan will make its first Salt Lake City appearance on Sept. 3, 2015 in a rare weekday game for the Wolverines, who have never played on a Thursday. The first game of the series is scheduled for Sept. 20, 2014 in Michigan Stadium.
Michigan becomes just the second Big Ten team ever to play in Salt Lake City. The Utes knocked off Indiana 40-13 in Rice-Eccles Stadium in 2002.
"A home-and-home series with Michigan is the kind of opportunity that comes with membership in the Pac-12 Conference," said Utah Director of Athletics Dr. Chris Hill. "I greatly appreciate Coach Whittingham's willingness to add college football's winningest program to his already difficult 2014 schedule, which will also feature five Pac-12 road games."
The 2015 game will mark the second time the two teams have opened their season against each other. Michigan was the first step in Utah's 13-0 2008 season that concluded with a win over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and a No. 2 national ranking for the Utes. The Utes are 1-1 overall against the Wolverines, losing 10-7 in 2002 and winning 25-23 in 2008.
"Playing a home-and-home series with the University of Michigan--one of the country's most storied programs--is a great opportunity for us," said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham. "The game-day atmosphere in Ann Arbor is a special experience for players and fans alike. We also look forward to hosting Michigan in Salt Lake City, allowing the MUSS and all our fans the chance to give the Wolverines a taste of what game day at Rice-Eccles Stadium is all about."

I came to this story late after spending a bit of the afternoon at WDRB Day at the Fair, and it was good seeing those of you that I saw. These are my thoughts on the report by SI's Pete Thamel.
University of Kentucky freshman Nerlens Noel is back in the news, a couple of weeks after telling CBS' Jeff Goodman in a Boston eatery that he has been cleared academically by the NCAA. This time, the story isn't so clear. Pete Thamel of Sports Illustrated reports that the eligibility inquiry over Noel is "widening."Citing unnamed NCAA sources, Thamel reports that NCAA enforcement officials traveled for a second time to Noel's New Hampshire prep school for a three-hour meeting earlier this month that apparently was aimed at getting more information about people around Noel and how he paid for his unofficial visits -- two of which were to the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky.Then Thamel wrote this: "What made the NCAA's visit to Tilton intriguing is that a senior Kentucky official, UK chief compliance officer Sandy Bell, accompanied (NCAA enforcement officials) for the meeting. Bell didn't ask many questions, according to the source, but did take notes and spoke up occasionally."A compliance director sitting in on such a meeting isn't the most common thing, but it does happen from time to time, enough that it shouldn't be termed unusual.Thamel reports that all of that, "gives the appearance that this case has gone beyond the routine checking of top prospects, according to one former NCAA investigator."That last conclusion, of course, is speculation. We don't know.My thoughts on this latest flap:-- I still haven't seen anything that would cause a significant threat to Noel's eligibility. There may be issues there that require repayment. There might be things that could cause him to sit a few games. But so far we've seen a lot of insinuation without much actual allegation. Nothing even close to the Enes Kanter story, when it was known that a player had received a great deal of money from a pro basketball club. This is nothing like that.-- Bell's presence was a wise investment of time on UK's part. Too often, these interviews happen and there's no chance for school officials to clarify what was said by interviewees. Often, the only record is a transcript that the NCAA compiles. What Bell did should be standard operating procedure for compliance officials in that situation.-- If there's anything that would raise a red flag, it's information that the NCAA is boring in on Chris Driscoll, a former Providence assistant and current latcher-on, or Erroll Randolph, who has some established ties to Noel's family, and also to a sports agency. But here's an important point: while both of these guys could conceivably have been doing things for or with Noel they shouldn't have, neither was remotely acting in UK's interests. And there's not even an allegation at this point that they did anything wrong.
--It's worth reiterating that. This isn't an investigation into UK's recruitment of Noel. It's a look at his high school associates, none of whom has connections with John Calipari or UK.-- From the start of Noel's recruitment, and that of Shabazz Muhammad, the prevailing sentiment is that "neither one may play." I don't know. I just still haven't seen anything specific that would keep Noel off a college basketball court. The story today moves the ball a little farther up the court, but in no definite direction.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's public prosecutor ordered on Sunday that ousted President Hosni Mubarak be transferred to a prison hospital in Cairo after a doctor declared him well enough to travel.
Mubarak took refuge in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikhafter a popular uprising ended his 30-year rule. He now faces questioning over corruption and murder allegations.
"The public prosecutor has ordered the Interior Ministry to transfer former President Hosni Mubarak to Mazra'a hospital in Torah prison (in Cairo)" once the hospital is ready to receive him, the prosecutor said in a statement.
Mubarak was admitted to a hospital in Sharm with an unspecified illness the day that prosecutors ordered him detained for questioning and mystery still surrounds his medical condition.
Egypt's ruling military council, which took power when Mubarak stepped aside on February 11, has been under heavy pressure to put the former president on trial.
Mubarak's condition is "stable," prosecutor Abdel Hamid Mahmoud said, citing forensic doctor Ahmed el-Seba'i, and there was nothing to stop him traveling.
The prosecutor said Mubarak should be moved to a military hospital near Cairo while the interior ministry supervises the preparations at the Torah prison hospital.
Those preparations would take at least a month, he said, because the prison hospital needed equipment in its intensive care unit that must function for a month before it can be used on patients.
The ex-president, who was transferred to hospital in Sharm with unspecified heart problems, needs to be under constant medical care because his heart could stop beating "at any moment," the prosecutor cited Seba'i as saying.

Setting the World Standard
for EXCELLENCE
From the Olympics to professional, collegiate and high school arenas - wherever great basketball is played - you will find Schelde Portable Basketball Goals setting the world standard for excellence. No other portable goals setup quicker, perform better or can endure more punishment than Schelde - nothing comes close. Schelde portable goals were developed in cooperation with FIBA (the world governing body for international basketball competition) to meet or exceed all requirements for the highest level of performance, safety and play. FIBA not only approves Schelde portable goals, it has recommended them.
SAM Engineering and Innovation
Not too long ago, portable basketball goals were unwieldy, often unreliable structures that stood in the way of athletic facilities and their users. Then Schelde invented the Spring Assisted Mechanism (SAM), eliminating the need for electrical and hydraulic systems and all the problems associated with them. Schelde's SAM engineering and patented Dynamic Sub Frame (DSF) make raising and leveling the unit a 5-second process - not minutes or hours. With just a single push, one person can easily raise the unit into game position while simultaneously leveling the base and placing the rim at precisely 10 feet. Not since someone put a hole in the bottom of James Naismith's peach basket has basketball equipment been so revolutionized.
Built to Take a Beating
The game of basketball has become more physical and more demanding. Today's players are stronger and faster, and shot clocks are getting larger and heavier. These demands place greater stress on portable equipment, but are no problem for Schelde's portable SAM goals. Our reinforced frame and support beams with heavy-duty cross members are virtually indestructible. The pin positioning system invented by Schelde not only guarantees correct placement on the floor, but also assures that your equipment stays in place even as giants collide. And Schelde's patented "Dunk Proof" glass back- boards have eliminated shattered backboards. Since there is no glass between the rim and main beam, backboards stay intact even under the most extreme conditions. No matter who is hanging on them.
Want Proof? See Video!
Best for Players. Best for Fans.
Schelde's safe, stable, reliable equipment is a favorite among players in over 100 countries. Even after the meanest monster dunk, the basket returns to the static position in seconds.
No wobbly baskets. No bent frames. No shifting bases. No shattered backboards. Players are free to play the game the way it was meant to be played - full tilt. And Schelde's sleek, elegant lines and low visual profile put the spectator right in the action, offering better sight lines and fewer blind spots. So people in the premium seats behind the goal get a clear view of the game.

*BREAKING NEWS* Wingnuts will go to war!
by bluenc, Mon May 14, 2007 at 04:13:36 AM EDT
Imagine my surprise when I see on RedState that the wingers are ready to go to war! Finally, after their courageous keyboard service in the War on Terror, it seems that our conservative war cheerleaders are ready to go to war:


text: Dan Gilbert was the most publicized owner that desired to have the Chris Paul deal vetoed which would have brought Lamar Odom to New Orleans. Mark Cuban also supported blocking the trade. Now, two days later it looks like the Mavs have worked out a deal to bring Odom to Dallas. To me, at best Cuban was simply opportunistic in jumping on Odom's availability and at worst he vetoed the trade hoping to get Odom. This type of deal sets a horrible precedent. IMO Does anyone else find this disturbing?

ORACLE- In 2001 when Pinal County began "On the Go Express" the operation had only a few vans and a limited service area.
Fast forward to 2005; today "On the Go Express" has 8 vehicles and carried 320 passengers in February of this year.
"We are grant funded," said On the Go Express Administrator Lisa Armenta. State lottery money, also known as LTAF money, is used to provide those who normally do not have a means of transportation a ride to a medical or a social service appointment.
"We're not here to take business away from anyone," Armenta stressed. "We are just an alternative for those who do not have transportation."
Complimenting Supervisor Lionel Ruiz for helping to get the program off and running Armenta said: "He recognized a lack of transportation options for those living in this area," commented Armenta. "We have seen some cases where an elderly person would pay a neighbor $20.00 for a ride to get to a doctor's appointment in Tucson. They would pay for gas and then pay for the person's food while they are in the city. In the end, that doctor's appointment would end up costing the person $75 to $80. For a person on a limited income, that is a lot of money.
"With On the Go Express, that trip costs them $2.00," she concluded.
Armenta speculated that 95 percent of all trips are for medical appointments with five percent for social service appointments. One catch, Armenta warns, is those who can use On the Go Express for medical appointments, they cannot fall under AHCCCS or Pinal/Gila Long Term Care coverage. "As part of their coverage, they have access to transportation."
On the Go Express serves people living in the eastern Pinal County area, seven of the vans are based in Oracle, while one van serves the Kearny area. "More people use the service out of Oracle," Armenta said. "Lately they seem to need the service more than anyone else." She added that if the call for more vans in the Kearny area is required, On the Go Express can provide them immediately.
Armenta is pleased that On the Go Express is fulfilling a need for those who have problems in securing transportation in a rural area. She points out numerous surveys from social service agencies that claim the need for transportation in rural areas is urgent. "Perhaps we may see this service enter other areas of Pinal County in the future."

Princess Menen Won't Back Down
REGGAE artiste Princess Menen is on a musical high. Her single Sweetest Sound is featured in the recently released movie Won't Back Down.
The film — directed by Daniel Barnz and stars Maggie Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis and Holly Hunter — is about two mothers' desire to transform their children's failing inner-city school.
The artiste says she identifies with the movie's plot.
"Many people in the school system don't want to see the children excel because of their background, race, learning ability or because there's a quota as to how many students should be promoted or stay back," says Princess Menen, who was born in America to Grenadian parents.
"There are some teachers who love what they do and want to make a difference; I had a few in my days," she continues.
Born in Brooklyn, Princess Menen, whose Yaa' Asantewaa Lewis, embraced reggae music and Rastafari since age 14.
Now in her late 20s, the artiste says she got her start by opening in Brooklyn for Jamaican deejay Capleton in 1998.
She made her recording debut with Notting But Love, a duet with Chrisinti, and Listen to Me Sing, produced by Sidney Mills (Living Room Studios).
Looking ahead, Princess Menen she is focused on completing an album.
"Let's see what beautiful music comes out of this," she says.

A WARNING for ice for areas including the Isle of Wight has been issued by the Met Office today (Monday).
The yellow 'be aware' warning is valid from 5pm tonight until 10am tomorrow (Tuesday) for parts of the West Wight.
The Met Office said: "A combination of clear spells and light winds will allow road temperatures to fall below freezing on Monday evening across northwestern parts of the UK, and then overnight and into Tuesday morning further south and east.
"This will allow icy stretches to form on untreated surfaces. The public is advised to take extra care and be aware of the risk of some minor travel disruption.
"Following rain or showers on Monday, clearing skies will allow road temperatures to fall below freezing quite widely on Monday evening and night, leading to icy stretches on untreated surfaces which will last well into Tuesday morning.
"In addition, further showers may affect parts of Scotland, northern England and North Wales overnight which may lead to wash-off of earlier road treatment, enhancing the risk of ice formation. These showers could also give some accumulations of snow on routes above about 300m.
"There is some uncertainty over the timing of clearance of cloud and rain towards the southeastern boundary of the yellow area, and hence also the risk of ice, so this warning may be adjusted later Monday or overnight."

Number of games the Angels won in 2009: 97
Number of times the Angels lost 4 out of 5 games in 2008: 7
Number of games the Angels won in 2009: 100
In April 2007 the Angels lost 6 straight games, and 8 out of 9. That team won 94 games.
On April 25, 2009, the Angels were 6-11, 5.5 games out of first place.
On April 18, 2007, the Angels were 6-9, 2.0 games out of first place.
And on April 22, 2002, the Angels were 6-14, 10.5 games out of first place.
Since July 1, 2006, a span of 574 regular season games, the Angels have been playing .602 baseball.
Seattle is 1-4. Boston is 1-3. Mark Teixeira is 0 for 16. Milton Bradley is 1-17, Josh Hamilton 1-11. It's early April.
So vilify the sloppy play, complain about the banishment of Mike Napoli, and if you're at the Big A this weekend please do me a favor and get on Torii Hunter's case good & loud about the lollygagging and fraternizing. But fer crying out loud, mix in a little perspective now and then. You don't really want to end up like L.A. Seitz and scareduck, do you?*
* For you newcomers, this is a good-natured dig at two of our longest-running and most-beloved pessimists.

Middlesex Savings Bank Custom Calendar to arrive in branches Thanksgiving week.
For the seventh year in a row Middlesex Savings Bank has produced its custom calendar. Since 2005 Middlesex Savings Bank has engaged some of the areas outstanding professional photographers to capture the spirit and beauty of the 24 towns served by the bank. Past editions have featured memorable scenes of villages, farms, downtowns and homes that are unique to our area. This year will be no exception to that tradition.
This year's calendar features scenes connected to some of the accomplished people who have called our region home. The cover features the estate of Christian Herter, the former Massachusetts governor and U.S. Secretary of State. March features the elegant interior to the Concord Free Public Library with its tributes to Emerson and Thoreau, while August features a charming stone chapel built by noted early twentieth century architect Ralph Adams Cram.
Also featured are some of the ways in which local residents enjoy our towns and villages. Curlers throw stones down the ice at Wayland's Broomstones Curling Club in February. Antique car enthusiasts gather at Wellesley's Elm Bank in June, while July sees Littleton residents enjoy the simple pleasures of a hot dog at Ed's Weenies, a local institution.

A.R. Gurney
ComedyFull Length
2 men, 2 women: 4 totalInterior
In this love letter to the theatre, Gurney uses the stage to explore, quite comically, our place in the world today. Set in the living room of a contemporary, upper-class, Buffalo, New York couple, the author sharpens his wit on such topics as cola wars, politics, and even the very audiences who attend plays. "
some damn clever writing
Constructed to illuminate the nature of the dramatic form while raising questions about the current state of the theatre in America
the evening is debonair, thought-provoking, and funny." The New Yorker. "
cleverly experimental
Mr. Gurney is a very sophisticated writer, and the variety of parallels he draws here, between art and politics, between characters and audience members, between the theater and the world, are dizzying and diverting
for those of us in distress over the political and cultural climate, [THE FOURTH WALL] is a bolstering, welcome and maybe even necessary expression of patriotism." New York Times. "Gurney's intentions may be serious here, but his tongue is planted firmly in his cheek. Which is where it belongs if the audience is to enjoy this play. Which it most assuredly does." The Journal News. "Anyone familiar with Gurney's work is in for a big surprise
He has turned the Gurney genre on its ear and produced two hours of devilishly comic cleverness. Nothing he has written before is quite like this piece, and a strong argument can be made that nothing he has written before is this good." Milwaukee Journal. "THE FOURTH WALL
is filled with amusing literary references, sophisticated characters and moves along quickly with nary a wasted word
but the real fun
comes from watching Gurney play with the changing reality of the moment as his characters and audience respond to the fourth wall in front of them." Variety. "It's a whimsical meditation on the theatreits history and its conceits, its degradation in the video age, and its enduring potential for enabling people to connect. And, above all, it's a clever, playful prayer for its survival." Chicago Sun-Times.
Book/Item: THE FOURTH WALLBook Type: DPSPrice: $9.00ISBN/Code: 978-0-8222-1349-9
FEE: $80 per performance. SPECIAL NOTE: Rights to present THE FOURTH WALL include permission to use five Cole Porter songs used in the play. The sheet music to these songs is required for performance. The cost is $10.00, plus shipping and handling.THE STORY: Peggy has redecorated the living room and her husband, Roger, can't stand it. Peggy's usual exquisite taste was overcome by a mysterious lapse which caused her to redo the room as if it were a stage set. Everything faces one wall, the "fourth wall," which she's left bare and which is really the audience. Unable to cope any further, and needing someone to talk to, Roger asks their old, dear friend, Julia, to fly up from New York. Julia agrees that something strange is going on, especially since everyone who enters the room begins to behave as if they were acting in a play, or even a musical when occasionally someone feels the urge to sing a Cole Porter song. Julia, affected by the room, suggests Roger call "976-NUTS" and have Peggy put away, which would allow the two of them to have the affair they've never before thought about. Roger can't do that and explains that he's got one hope left: Floyd, a local theatre professor. Roger asks Floyd to come over in hopes that he can "Doctor" Peggy's play and bring it to a close, thus allowing him and Peggy to resume their happily married life. But that doesn't work either as Floyd sees what's going on and is in complete agreement with Peggy. Peggy, following in St. Joan's footsteps at Floyd's urging, decides she must do what she must do and sets out to break the fourth wall in order to connect with her feelings. Roger rushes after her, leaving Julia and Floyd with a final Cole Porter tune.

Exclusive: 13 Things To Watch For In '13: "In The Visceral-Developed Shooter, Players Take To The Deadly Streets Of Mexico"
Wednesday, Jan 23, 2013 12:10AM
[As 2012 fades away, SOHH's dropping a daily list of the 13 biggest things to look for in '13. Today, we're stepping back and letting the experts dish out the top must-buy video games to look out for this year.]
1. Grand Theft Auto V
The GTA 5 release date for Xbox 360 and PS3 is fast approaching. Rockstar has confirmed the game's launch for spring 2013, and the latest rumor is that rapper "The Game" may show up to the next "Grand Theft Auto" party. The GTA 5 release date is still months away, but that hasn't stopped "Grand Theft Auto" fans from getting amped up from even the smallest GTA 5 leak or rumor. Hardcore gamers have already recreated a full Los Santos map andharassed a prospective key voice actor. Now there's a whole new reason to get excited. (iDigital Times)
2. BioShock Infinite
The producer's job must have been interesting, as BioShock Infinite's release date was pushed back from October 2012 to February 2013, and then back again to the end of March. To say BioShock Infinite is long-awaited is true, and perhaps true on more levels than Irrational might like. However, as Satoru Iwata once said, "A delayed is eventually good, but a bad game is bad forever". Of course, this quote neglects the common phenomenon of games which are both delayed and bad. As the delays mounted on BioShock, a kind of undertone of anxiety also grew that perhaps this was indicative of deeper problems within the game. Then the box art was released, and everyone got distracted by arguing about that. Ah, video games. (Forbes)
3. God of War: Ascension
The release of God of War: Ascension is less than two months away and Sony is making sure gamers know what they're in store for. The publisher has already opened a multiplayer beta for the title, and those who bought the Total Recall re-make (horror) on Blu-Ray have already gained access to the demo that debuted at last year's E3. Today, Sony announced that a "full-fledged" single player demo for God of War: Ascension will be released sometime in late February. True, that isn't too far from the game's March 12 release date, but at least gamers won't be in the dark when evaluating their purchase. To accompany the announcement, Sony also released a new teaser trailer for the single player campaign. It features plenty of boss-slicing and a semi-surprise monster at the end. (Web Pro News)
4. Lost Planet 3
Lost Planet 3 is an upcoming 2013 third-person shooter video game developed bySpark Unlimited and published by Capcom for the PlayStation 3, Microsoft Windowsand Xbox 360. The game is the prequel to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and Lost Planet 2 takes place on the same planet of E.D.N. III albeit before the events of the first two games. The game will take a more story-driven narrative approach to the campaign similar to the first game. Unlike previous games in the series, which were developed internally by Capcom, the game will be developed externally by Spark Unlimited though series creator, Kenji Oguro, is still game director. This follows a recent trend of Capcom games being developed by Western developers rather than internally, such as DmC: Devil May Cry. (Wikipedia)
5. Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel
Visceral Games has put out another new trailer for its co-op-focused action game, Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel. This one shows an "explosive encounter" when RPG Specialist 'Thug' - who's apparently a "connoisseur of explosive art" - gets to work in the battlefield. In the Visceral-developed shooter, players take to the deadly streets of Mexico as Alpha and Bravo, two operatives working for a private military company that drops them in the middle of a drug war conflict. Publisher EA has confirmed an Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel release date of March 26 in the US, with a European launch to follow on March 29. (Computer & Video Games)
Be sure to check back tomorrow when we look at what brewing rap beefs will dominate this year!

In general, city council races are not considered partisan elections. It's not supposed to be about which candidate is a Democrat and which one is a Republican.
But it doesn't always go that way, especially when newspapers and big organizations make endorsements for certain candidates overtly on the basis of their political leanings.
So we asked the three men running for Capitola City Council whether they thought their political parties mattered in this race. Ed Bottorff is the only Republican in the election, and if elected, would fill the seat of Kirby Nicol, Capitola's only other elected Republican. See the candidates' responses below.
Question: Do party politics matter on a city council? Some people say it's not a partisan race, but others argue that personal politics play into decisions made on the council. What do you think?
Ed Bottorff: While campaigning and walking every street in Capitola, attempting to make contact with all the registered voters, and engaging in some lively discussions with residents, I can definitely say that party politics do not matter at this level.
Only a handful of people even bothered to ask me what my party affiliation was. Only two people chose to slam the door in my face when told them I belonged to the party opposite of theirs. People's concerns were about local issues and the City's past mistakes. Being on a local city council is about making good decisions for the city you live in. Common sense, consistency, compromise and compassion will go a long way a to make a good Capitola City Council person.
Jacques Bertrand: I have been watching the Council almost since I came here (14 years ago), partisan no, but personal positions and views yes. This is why we like to have some time to get to know those we choose as our representatives; and in Capitola there is plenty of opportunity to do so.
Dennis Norton: It is not political parties that mater. It is the personal beliefs on social issues, environmental issues, economic priorities, etc. It's not personal politics, it's personal beliefs, which we all have.
Do you think political party affiliations play into city council races and ultimately city council decisions? Can "personal beliefs" and "personal politics" be separated as suggested above? Tell us in the comments!

SEOUL, South Korea North Korea is urging all foreign companies and tourists in South Korea to evacuate or find out where they can take shelter because it says the rival Koreas are on the eve of a nuclear war.
Analysts see a direct attack on Seoul as extremely unlikely. The warning Tuesday from the North's Korean Asia-Pacific Peace Committee is similar to past threats that analysts call an attempt to raise anxiety in foreign capitals.
The U.S. embassy in Seoul tells CBS News its security status is unchanged, despite Tuesday's warning. It says it's not telling Americans to evacuate, and Secretary of State John Kerry is still scheduled to visit Friday.
Observers say a torrent of North Korean prophesies of doom is partly meant to win Pyongyang-friendly policy changes in Seoul and Washington and to boost the image of leader Kim Jong Un.
Last week, North Korea told foreign diplomats based in Pyongyang that it will not be able to guarantee their safety as of Wednesday.
Also Tuesday, a factory complex that is North Korea's last major economic link with the South was a virtual ghost town after Pyongyang suspended its operations and recalled all 53,000 of its workers in more of its recent war-like posturing.
The work stoppage at the Kaesong industrial complex, the biggest employer in the North's third-biggest city and a source of much-needed hard currency, shows that Pyongyang is willing to hurt its own shaky economy in order to display its anger with South Korea and the United States.
Only a few hundred South Korean managers remained at the facility, which has been run for the past decade with cheap North Korean labor and South Korean capital and know-how. The managers have not been forced to leave the complex, located just north of the Demilitarized Zone.
One manager said he and his colleagues are subsisting on instant noodles but planned to stay and watch over company equipment as long as their food lasted. Some of those who chose to leave were seen departing in cars overloaded with finished products.
The pull-out is part of a torrent of provocations and threats Pyongyang has unleashed at Seoul and Washington in recent weeks.
The North is angry at U.N. sanctions punishing it for its third nuclear test on Feb. 12, as well as joint military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea that the allies call routine but that Pyongyang sees as preparation for an invasion.
South Korean President Park Geun-hye, who has sought to re-engage North Korea with dialogue and aid since taking office in February, expressed exasperation Tuesday with what she called the "endless vicious cycle" of Seoul answering Pyongyang's hostile behavior with compromise, only to get more hostility.
U.S. and South Korean defense officials have said they've seen nothing to indicate that Pyongyang is preparing for a major military action. But they have raised their defense postures, and so has Japan, which deployed PAC-3 missile interceptors in key locations around Tokyo on Tuesday as a precaution against possible North Korean ballistic missile tests.
Analysts say North Korea's rhetoric and actions are intended to force Pyongyang-friendly policies in South Korea and Washington and to boost domestic loyalty for Kim Jong Un, the country's young and still relatively untested leader.
Pyongyang said Monday it would recall all North Korean workers from Kaesong and would decide later whether to shut it down for good. Shutting it permanently would sacrifice jobs in a poverty stricken nation that, according to the U.S. State Department, has a per capita GDP of just $1,800 per year.
Even the suspension is costing North Korea money, and not just in the short term. The pull-out has left South Korean companies unable to fill orders, raised fears of bankruptcies and is likely to make others think twice about investing in North Korea.
"I deeply regret having entered Kaesong," Yoo Byung-ki, president of BK Electronics Co., said from Seoul. He said both North and South Korea hurt companies in the jointly run complex whenever the countries' relationship went sour.
"All orders got canceled. My clients must be worried. Even if they give us new orders, they will not give us all the orders they used to give," said Yoo, whose company supplies electronic components to consumer electronics companies.
Park expressed disappointment at the suspension of operations at Kaesong, and echoed the warning that it would only scare foreign investors away from North Korea.
"North Korea should stop doing wrong behavior and make a right choice for the future of the Korean nation," Park said at the start of a regular Cabinet Council meeting, according to a South Korean media pool report posted on her office's website.
The Kaesong complex is the last symbol of inter-Korean rapprochement projects from previous eras of cooperation. Other projects, such as reunions of families separated by war and tours of a scenic North Korean mountain stopped in recent years.
Even before Monday's announcement, Pyongyang had been allowing operations at the Kaesong complex to wither. Last month, it cut the communications with South Korea that had helped regulate border crossings at Kaesong, and last week it barred South Korean workers and cargo from entering North Korea.
Operations had continued and South Koreans already at Kaesong were allowed to stay, but dwindling personnel and supplies had forced about a dozen companies to stop operating at Kaesong before North Koreans were told to stop working there.
North Korea briefly restricted the heavily fortified border crossing at Kaesong in 2009, but manufacturers fear the current closure could last longer.
South Korea's Unification Ministry, which is responsible for relations with the North, said 75 South Koreans at the complex were set to come home Tuesday, leaving about 400.
The more than 120 South Korean companies operating at Kaesong urged North Korea to quickly normalize operations.
"If this situation continues, companies will face the risk of going bankrupt," said Yoo Chang-geun, a vice president of the Corporate Association of Gaesong Industrial Complex.
After an emergency meeting Tuesday in Seoul, representatives of the companies said in a joint statement that they hope to send a delegation of small- and medium-sized companies to North Korea in hopes of reopening the complex. The statement also appealed to South Korea to take a "mature, embracing posture" and work out all available measures to help normalize Kaesong's operations.

In the early part of this decade, I spent a couple of years in and around MTV Networks, as its artist-in-residence, where my focus was the company's diversity initiative. Having spent my career backstage or onstage, I was new to the corporate world. I was struck by the MTV staff's enthusiasm for sharing ideas and hearing new ones. I also noticed that there was no archetype for success here; the wellsprings of creativity and management clearly had many different sources.

John Norman Collins: The Co-Ed Killer
The Victims II
- Alice Kalom, 23, of Portage, Michigan. She was a University of Michigan graduate in the fine arts, enrolled in grad school. On June 7, 1969, she went to a party at the Depot House in Ann Arbor and was seen dancing with a young man with long hair. Her body was found near North Territorial Road and U. S. 23, near an abandoned barn. She had been shot once in the head and stabbed twice in the chest, as well as raped. She was killed elsewhere and her clothing was scattered around her body. Her shoes were missing.
- Karen Sue Beineman, 18, of Grand Rapids, Michigan. She was an EMU freshman attending summer classes. She had just sent a note to her parents assuring them she was being careful, but then accepted a ride on a motorcycle from a man she did not know. She was last seen on July 23, 1969, leaving a wig shop to go with him, and was found, strangled, in a ravine off Riverside Drive near Huron River Drive in Ann Arbor. Her face was badly battered and she was nude. She had been killed elsewhere. She was the last victim before Collins was caught, and it was the evidence found on her that led to his conviction.
- Roxie Phillips, 17, of Salinas, California. She disappeared on June 30, 1969, going out to mail a letter and meet a friend, and was found on July 13 in Pescadero Canyon just north of Carmel by a pair of boys looking for fossils. She was badly decomposed and nude, except for a pair of sandals and a red-and-white cotton belt wrapped tightly around her neck. The body had to be carried to where it lay amidst poison oak (and Collins was treated in California that week for a rash from poison oak). Some of Phillips' possessions were found strewn along Route 68. A friend of hers mentioned having met a "John" driving a silver Oldsmobile who was going to college in Michigan, and who rode motorcycles. She didn't think Roxie knew him, but she did admit she had met him while he was cruising near Roxie's house.
- Eileen Adams, 13, of Toledo, Ohio, was kidnapped in December, 1967, and found in January south of Ypsilanti, raped, strangled with an electrical cord, and stuffed into a sack. Like another victim, her bra was tied around her neck. She was cruelly beaten with a hammer, and a three-inch nail was driven into her skull. Her stockings were arranged on her body, but her shoes were missing. There was evidence of sexual assault and her body was placed in plain sight. It appeared that she had left willingly with her killer.

Tradespeople working in and around Essex are being warned to take extra precautions following a series of thefts from vans.
Tradesmen in and around Essex have reported a rise in thefts from Ford Transits and Ford Fiestas, with no sign of force being used by the thieves. Cover may not be provided without signs of the vehicle having been broken into. It has been suggested that thieves may be using a device that overrides the vehicles' central locking system, granting them access without the need to use force. Transits are particularly at risk given their high preponderance amongst tradespeople. It is thought that Fiestas are also being targeted because of a shared central locking system.
Simply Business is investigating these developments, and is working with policyholders to find a resolution to existing claims. In the meantime, we encourage all tradespeople in the Essex area to empty their vehicles overnight and to take extra precautions to minimise risk, for example by parking in secure garages where possible.
If you are in any doubt, please contact your insurer directly.

This review hasn't been rated yet.
My wife booked this for my Birthday, which was somewhat of a risk as I don't do heights. I also read some of the reviews on this site before going and was a little concerned it may not be cracked up to be all it is.
With all respect, I can only imagine that some of the reviews describing it as expensive are written by those who don't eat out in London much or who normally eat in Little Chefs.
The food was excellent, service attentive without being sycophantic, the view to die for and the pricing reasonable given the quality of the food and the experience.
The food was seasoned to perfection, so no need to take it with the pinch of salt required when reading some of the other reviews.
No I don't work for them and I certainly will call a bad restaurant out when required – however on this occasion this is not the case.
Book it with confidence of a great meal in unforgettable surroundings.

The next generation of TriMet buses will be on the streets in time for Thursday's morning commute.
The first five of TriMet's new 55 buses will be put into service right away. Three new buses will then be added every week.
The new busses will initially run on Line 9-Powell Boulevard and Line 72-Killingsworth and 82nd Avenue. That will keep them close to the maintenance and operations staff most familiar with the new vehicles.
As new buses are added to the fleet, they will run on more lines.
The new buses are the first in three years for TriMet. The agency reinstated its annual bus purchasing program after suspending it in 2009 due to economic reasons.
Federal grants make up 93 percent of the cost of new buses.
Four of them are hybrids, while the rest run on diesel. They are all equipped with technology that should make them fuel efficient.
Riders will notice bigger windshields, larger side seating, brighter LED lighting, vinyl seats and a more gradual sloped boarding ramp for riders using mobility devices.
TriMet will be adding 68 new buses next year, as well.
For more information, go to trimet.org/newbuses.
