Although not all of the DS's features are utilised (mainly the touch screen), the challenging gameplay and DS download function more than make up for this.
With its tight controls and diverse and rewarding levels, beautiful and engaging graphics, and its humorous story, Frogger: Helmet Chaos is sure to be a hit with audiences both new and old alike.
Whereas the console game is bland and broken, the portable game is a lively 3D adventure packed with plenty to see and do.
A revitalized Frogger would have been awesome on the PSP, but failure to introduce variety to the gameplay dooms this one to mediocrity.
If there are huge differences between the console and PSP versions of Frogger, I didn't catch them. The gameplay and challenge are still a problem, and as such, I'll happily give them the same score.
Somehow, the PSP version makes Frogger's already-confusing mechanics even more frustrating. [Jan 2006, p.100]

PAWTUCKET — Nobody understands Lars Anderson's homerless quandary more than Anderson himself. He knows that first-base prospects aren't supposed to be stuck on zero home runs nearly five weeks into the season.
Right now, Anderson is going through a severe power drought, something that even has the cerebral sort worried. The facts do not lie, as Anderson entered Tuesday having yet to go deep in 30 games, spanning 125 at-bats.
CUMBERLAND --- An undefeated team, one of the state's best pitchers, and some chilly weather were unable to cool off red-hot Cumberland High on Tuesday afternoon.
The Clippers used a four-run rally in the bottom of the second inning and a strong outing from ace pitcher Bethany Paul to knock Chariho High from the unbeaten ranks and grab a 7-2 triumph in their Division I crossover showdown at Tucker Field.
The Chargers came into the game with a 9-0 mark that saw them outscore their opponents by a 71-22 margin, but bused out of Cumberland with a one-sided loss.
PROVIDENCE — The hoped-for sale of Woonsocket's Landmark Medical Center once again failed to materialize yesterday as a Superior Court judge said the bidders for the teetering hospital have not yet eliminated various deal-breaker provisions from their offers, as he directed them to do nearly two weeks ago.
Judge Michael Silverstein had been expected to make a decision on which, if any, of Landmark's prospective suitors would be allowed to move forward, but instead he gave them all one last chance to resolve their problems, setting a new deadline of May 27 for a possible selection.
LINCOLN — Town Council member John Flynn, who represents Lonsdale, forecast a rather tame Financial Town Meeting as he sat in the Lincoln High School auditorium on Monday night.
Turned out, he was right.
Taxpayers unanimously passed the Fiscal Year 2011-12 combined operating budget of approximately $70.1 million to allow for the continuation of programs and services already provided. As for the breakdown supplied by the Budget Board, about $17.4 million will be allotted to the municipal side, and $47.8 million to education.

John the Lion Meets His Match
Zoo guests may have noticed that John the lion has not been in his yard for the past couple of days. He's been absent for a very good reason! On Wednesday, we opened the doors that separated John and Imani and introduced the male and female lions to each other for the first time!
This introduction has been a long time coming; several months of close monitoring and careful preparation have led up to this big moment for our young lions. For the last year, John and Imani have been living in separate enclosure areas. Typically John was housed in 2 indoor enclosures and had access to our exhibit yard. Imani was being housed in 3 indoor enclosures (across the hall from John), and had access to her own private play yard as well. Though the lions could see, hear and smell each other on a daily basis, they'd never met in the same space until now.
In order to ensure a successful first meeting, keepers wanted to be sure that both lions were fully grown, sexually mature, and confident and comfortable in their new homes at the Cincinnati Zoo before the lions began to share a territory. Additionally, keepers had to plan an introduction timeline that would be conducive to the potential birth of cubs (since John and Imani are a recommended breeding pair within the African lion SSP). An SSP, or Species Survival Plan, allows different zoological facilities to cooperatively manage specific, and typically threatened or endangered, species populations. In order to receive a breeding recommendation for two animals, SSP coordinators assess the representation of each animal's genes within the captive population. If the genes of both individuals are not overly represented among the captive population, and if there is a zoo with the space to house the offspring, then you get the "okay" to breed the pair. Utilizing SSPs allows zoos to ensure that we are maintaining as much genetic variation as possible among captive populations, and also avoiding inbreeding and unwanted pregnancies.
With warmer weather on the horizon and both lions showing positive indicators that they were ready to meet, the keepers determined that the time was right to introduce John and Imani. Initially, both cats were a little shy and hesitant to say hello, but after a few minutes of awkward, sideways glances, John came through the door for a sniff. Some grumbles, barks and swats ensued (perfectly normal and expected behaviors), and then both lions quickly settled down and even made some attempts at breeding!
The two have been spending time together behind the scenes ever since, and the keepers are absolutely thrilled with their progress. John and Imani will slowly be introduced to the exhibit yard together according to their comfort level. While John is perfectly at home in the exhibit yard, Imani has not been out there yet, so we will respect her need to move forward slowly. Her comfort level will likely dictate when our lions will be publicly on exhibit together, and we appreciate everyone's patience and understanding during this transition period.
On behalf of our lions, and all the keepers and staff involved, thank you all for your support and well-wishes! Our zoo guests have been so great about accepting John into the Zoo family, and we can't wait for you all to meet Imani and see our newly bonded pair out on exhibit together soon!

Successful Fixed Time Artificial Insemination in the Fishing Cat
CREW continues to make progress in improving the success of artificial insemination (AI) for propagating endangered
cats. In recent research, we incorporated treatment with oral progesterone (Regumate) into our AI protocol for domestic cats to down-regulate ovarian function prior to ovarian stimulation. This approach allows us to control ovarian activity more precisely and conduct AI procedures on a fixed time schedule.
Our first attempt using this method in exotic felids involved our fishing cat named Ratana,who was incapable of breeding naturally after losing a front leg due to injury. Ratana was fed a small amount of oral progesterone daily for one month to suppress her ovarian activity and then treated with gonadotropins to induce follicular growth and ovulation. Laparoscopic AI of both oviducts with freshly collected sperm from our resident male, named Gorton, resulted in conception and the birth of a male fishing cat kitten after a 69 day gestation.
This kitten was the first non-domestic cat born following the use of oral progesterone for fixed time AI, and represents the fifth cat species (fishing cat, ocelot, Pallas' cat, tiger, domestic cat) that we have produced with oviductal AI. This new approach could greatly advance our capacity to use AI for the genetic management of endangered felid species.

Illegal hunting trap suffocates retriever
Andrew, a 4-year-old golden retriever, died Wednesday night after being caught in an illegally set trap in Auburn. (COURTESY)
AUBURN -- New Hampshire Fish and Game is investigating an illegally set animal trap that killed a woman's dog on a well-used trail in Auburn Wednesday night.
Melissa Fogelson had been walking her 4-year-old golden retriever, Andrew, on a trail off Old Depot Road near Clark Pond in Auburn, using the trail because she believed it to be safe during hunting season, given the number of walkers and bikers who frequent it.
While on the trail, Andrew caught a whiff of something and ran over to inspect. What Fogelson didn't realize was that her dog was drawn to the bait on a lethal hunting trap.
The trap was a Conibear 220, an asphyxiating, "body-gripping" trap. It is nearly impossible to pull it open - and in fact harmful to the animal to force the trap open - particularly by one person. Instead, springs on opposite sides must be compressed and their safety hooks attached individually, a counterintuitive and difficult process even when not under stress.
"The more I looked at it the more I started to have a sense of what I might have to do, but I didn't have enough strength to do it," said Fogelson. "When I first looked at it I had no idea (what to do.) I tried - believe me, I was trying - but I couldn't get it off of him."
It took two police officers "with all of their strength" to remove the trap, she said.
The traps location and setting were illegal, officials said. Any trap over 6� inches wide must be set either 5 feet off the ground or under water. This trap was set on the ground.
"We have the laws in place for this exact reason," said Fish and Game Officer Chris McKee. "Any animal on the ground could've gotten into it, or person, or kid."
The trapper, whose name has not yet been released because the investigation is ongoing, is expected to be charged with trapping violations, which may lead to fines of up to $1,000, Fish and Game said. Fish and Game will also push for restitution for the dog owner.
The trapper, who has trapped in the past and took it up again recently, had taken the required courses and was aware of the laws, officials said. All of his traps in the area have since been taken down.
"I'm not really sure why he set it on the ground" said McKee. "He did what he did."
Auburn police Officer Anita Lombardo, who responded to the call, described the scene as horrible.
"I was thinking of a leg trap, like the bear trap you see in the movies," said Lombardo. "I was expecting to go out and find a panicking dog and panicking owner and together we'd get this dog out of the trap. I was not expecting what I saw. . When I went up, you couldn't even see where (the trap) was against his neck because it was so tight that it got lost in his fur. It was like a medieval torture device on this poor dog.
"When I went up the trail, I saw her sitting there, exhausted from carrying the dog from probably almost a mile out, just sobbing. . She just looked up at me and said 'I promised I would get him out.' . It was horrible. I couldn't even imagine what I would've done."
For Fogelson, who was not aware such traps existed and never anticipated to find one near such a busy area, public education on the devices and the laws "has to be" something that comes out of her story.
"Anybody could have landed in that trap," she said. "Kids, anybody else's dog, and truthfully no wild animal should die that way either. It was miserable. Supposedly they've found this guy and removed his traps, but that doesn't mean there isn't somebody else out there doing the same thing."
For now, Fogelson is just trying to make sense of what happened that night.
"I don't think I've hit anger yet. I think I'm getting there, but I still can't get over the shock and the surrealism and the fact that this even happened," she said. "All I keep seeing in my head is him being caught in the trap. I think I'm getting to anger, but I'm just heartbroken. He was my best friend, he was my kid, you know? He was just a four-year-old happy puppy playing in the woods."
This was first incident of its kind with body-gripping traps that McKee has encountered.
"The trapper is cooperating completely and fully, and is doing anything he possible can to help with us and the lady as well," he said.
McKee noted that the trapper hoped to eventually get in touch with Fogelson.

WOMEN'S PRISON
Iran, 2002 (MIFF 2003, Emergence)
Director: Manijeh Hekmat
Manijeh Hekmat's debut feature is an impassioned drama, set over 17 years, following the intricate relationship between a warden and inmate in a Tehran women's prison.
After a riot breaks out, a new head warden, the devoutly religious Tahereh, arrives to quell the growing discontent. Her unfairly tough stance riles Mitra, serving a life sentence for killing her stepfather in order to save her mother, and the two women begin a battle of wills that lasts for nearly two decades.
Director Manijeh Hekmat spent over two years visiting jails and talking to inmates before having more than 40 different meetings, over three months, with authorities to gain access to an actual jail in which to film. To complicate matters further she was disallowed the required director's permit from the Iranian Society of Film Directors, eventually using her husband's name to obtain the permit. A courageous and important film.

More Info: A sinus infection is usually not fatal and in most cases can be resolved with self-treatment and medical care. Problems arise when rare complications occur such as a bone infection or meningitis.
A rare form of sinus infection, rhinocerebral mucormycosis, is fatal. This rare sinus infection is caused by saprophytic fungi attacking the sinuses and brain and usually occurs in immunocompromised patients. It is rapidly progressive and highly fatal.
What Is Meningitis?
Meningitis, a potentially life-threatening disease, is an inflammation of the membranes that protect the brain and spinal cord. Many things can cause meningitis including certain types of bacteria, viruses, other microorganisms, and even some varieties of drugs. Symptoms of meningitis include headache, a stiff neck, confusion, fever, and an acute sensitivity to light. With the proper medical care, which must be prompt, meningitis is treatable.
Can You Have a Sinus Infection without the Symptoms?
Early on, you may have a sinus infection with very mild symptoms but will never have an infection without any symptoms at all. Since every infection affects the body in negative ways, the resulting symptoms will become more noticeable with time. A lot of people incorrectly misdiagnose an early sinus infection as a cold and start taking treatments which mask some of their telltale sinus infection symptoms. Also, people that are prone to headaches or allergies have a tendency to write-off the early warning signs of a sinus infection.

[New York Post] Which Hollywood wife isn't as long-suffering as she appears? While everyone gossips about her philandering husband, she is secretly seeing a handsome Australian.
[DailyTelegraph] From Australia: She is a household name, he was once a high flyer in the financial world.
The power couple were in the Family Court yesterday warring about how to divide their assets, including their five-bedroom Sydney home worth $3.2 million and her extensive jewellery collection.
On day three of the case, the court heard it wasn't just the husband who was a big earner during their six-year relationship – although he was currently unemployed.
The court was told the wife, who cannot be named, had secured a 60 per cent pay rise in November when she moved to a rival company. She was now earning $800,000 a year, with scope for more through endorsements. The wife was in such demand the chairman of her former employer had emailed her in a last-ditch attempt to get her to stay.
"You have been a great asset," the chairman wrote, commending her on the "fun you brought to everything".
The woman's manager told the court her decision to change jobs would be seen in the industry as a betrayal » Continued
[NationalEnquirer] What Aussie pop star recently got help for her drinking problem and is now back in Hollywood taking acting lessons? The tiny entertainer, who got her start on soaps, says she's given up singing and wants to go back to her acting roots.
CDAN – This B list rap star who also acts in movies and even on Broadway was scheduled to do a tour of Australia. The thing is he told the promoter one thing who went out and sold a bunch of tickets and then two days before the show said he was not going to be able to make it and could the promoter reschedule the entire festival for our rapper. Umm, no.
Our rapper has his tour rescheduled to fit his new dates. The problem is he decides he does not want to get on the plane in the US so the dates are postponed again and again and again. A few of the shows which had to be postponed are charity concerts that the rapper wanted set up in the first place. Meanwhile, our rapper did find time to dance on stage with Prince in New York. When the rapper finally did make it to Australia he would show up late despite strict instructions he must be on time because of curfews. He also canceled random shows and has just been the biggest pain in the butt ever and caused the promoter of all these shows to shut down his business.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 165 TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

Im brewing my second batch tomorrow and I am trying to learn from the first. I seemed to lose quite a bit of beer from leaving room above the sediment so I wouldn't transfer it to the secondary fermenter. Some say to use a strainer, others say not to. What is the real deal? I bought a funnel with a strainer insert but I want to know if straining the wort will harm or improve the beer. Im brewing an IPA with centennial hops and Im using an active yeast starter. Thanks for the tips
In my opinion, it's not worth it.. I don't feel that that tiny bit of beer left in the fermenter is worth the hassle. I just siphon until the siphon stops and i doubt that I leave more than 16-20 oz of beer behind. Also, there are those that will tell you that you can never truly sanitize a strainer.. I don't know that I personally believe that because I use one from the brew pot into the fermenter and I have for 15 years and have had only one infection in hundreds of batches.
it seems to me that if you were using a strainer from the primary to 2ndary, (IF I am understanding this correctly) that you will have to place the strainer in the funnel in the mouth of the carboy and run your transfer hose into the funnel which means the beer would "splash" into the 2ndary, introducing plenty of nasty oxygen.. not a good thing.
By the way, when racking to the secondary it's no longer "wort".. it's now yummy,luscious BEER!

Tap 2- Evening Bite Pale Ale
Tap 3- Twilight Clone
Tap 4- Dicks Danger Ale Clone
"Today I felt like burning some calories....So I found a fat kid and set him on fire"
Im sorry. I meant straining the wort into the primary fermenter from the kettle. On my first batch, I just poured the wort directly in without straining.
Definitely allways syphon beer to 2ndary. I like to syphon wort to primary as well so funnels aren't necessary.
The loss is minimal and may be considerred a sacrifice to the beer gods.
From what I've read here it really makes no difference. But I brew small batches 1.75g into bottling bucket so I really try to keep all loses to a minimum. I was given these paint strainers which fit right into a 5 or 6.5 gallon bucket. Probably can get them from HD or a wholesale paint shop.

If you really want that last pint of wort, strain away. There should be no oxydation issues with chilled sort. The main objective is to get the brew off the hop and protein sludge.
I mostly do PMs & BIAB, but I always pour through a big strainer for 2 reasons:
1) to strain out any errant grain or hop sludge.
2) to areate the wort.
So far it's worked well for me, haven't had a bad batch yet (knocks on wood) though for any other sort of vessel transfer I rack with the auto siphon.
Regards, GF.
I used to always strain through a filter. It aerated the wort very well and clarity would improve slightly. However, it was a pain to sit there and constantly stir the sludge around so the wort could actually get through the filter and into the primary.
Then I heard some of that trub can actually be beneficial to the yeast. So I just add everything to the bucket now. Yes I have to wait a bit more for the trub to settle out, but my beer matures and tastes less green anyhow.
Either way, you'll make great beer if you maintain good brewing and sanitization practices. It just depends on how much working and waiting you want to do.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
I too use a strainer when dumping from the boil kettle to the primary (just make sure it is well sanitized. It cuts down on crud and aerates the wort.

QPR are pitted against Southampton, Sunderland and Aston Villa in March, and the 65-year-old remains confident the west London side can secure their survival.
"There are enough games left – it is still wide open," said Redknapp.
"We have got to go to Villa, we have got to go to Reading and we have got Wigan here. I still fancy us.
"We've got nothing to lose, everyone thinks we are gone. But you can change it so quickly.
"At Portsmouth in 2006 I had a crap team and we got 20 points from 10 games and stayed up. It ain't impossible."
QPR face Southampton at St Mary's next Saturday in a clash that sees Redknapp take on his former club on the weekend of his 66th birthday.
He was unable to guide the Saints to safety in 2005 after leaving Portsmouth before returning to Fratton Park for the 2005-06 campaign.
And Redknapp is expecting to receive plenty of stick from the home supporters next weekend.
"It is my birthday next Saturday and I thought there is no better way to spend it than getting 90 minutes of abuse at Southampton.
"They'll all be calling me 'Scummer' for my time at Portsmouth. I thought that would be a great way to spend my birthday!"

Zoombezi Bay is a water park owned by the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Powell, Ohio. The water park was originally part of Wyandot Lake, which was purchased by the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in 2006. Wyandot Lake was closed for the 2007 season for renovation and was divided into an amusement park and water park - Jungle Jack's Landing and Zoombezi Bay, respectively. Zoombezi Bay reopened on May 26, 2008.
Wyandot Lake originally began as a picnic and recreational park in 1896. In the 1940s, the area was purchased by a carnival operator to be used as winter storage for the carnival's rides. The area soon developed into an amusement park and added its first roller coaster, Jet Flyer, in 1956. Following the owner's death in the 1970s, ownership was transferred to the city of Columbus who began leasing the park to Ohio-based Funtime Inc., in 1983.[1]
Funtime was later acquired by Premier Parks in 1995.[2] Premier Parks, originally an Oklahoma-based real estate company named TierCo, ventured into the entertainment industry when it purchased Frontier City in 1983. It later acquired Six Flags in 1999 changing its name to Six Flags Inc., in reference to its flagship property.[3][4]
Under new ownership, the amusement park continued to operate under the name Wyandot Lake. In June 2006, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium announced that it had entered an agreement with Six Flags to purchase Wyandot Lake for $2 million, which would be finalized later in the year.[5] Six Flags – struggling with annual losses since 1999 – was eager to negotiate with the nearby zoo amid city plans to realign Powell Road, which would cut through a portion of Wyandot Lake.[1][6] Shortly thereafter, the zoo announced plans to renovate Wyandot Lake, deciding to close it for the 2007 season. When the park reopened on May 26, 2008, it was split into two areas. Zoombezi Bay represented the water park, and Jungle Jack's Landing consisted of the amusement park.[7][8]
Work began on October 2006 to remove the former picnic area and clear trees and other out-dated rides. Many of the rides and equipment were auctioned off in order to offset the cost of some renovation. One signature Wyandot Lake water slide complex, with "The Jet Stream" and "Zuma Falls", was purchased for $500 by The Beach Water Park, located in Mason, Ohio. As of July, 2007 everything had been removed from the former Wyandot Lake except the "Sea Dragon. The zoo continued normal operation as the rebuilding of the park took place.

That posed a problem to United's coaching staff: sever ties with a player patently unprepared for the next step, or manufacture a situation to aid his progression. Fortunately, Tom had believers in high places.
"Both [Under-18s manager] Paul McGuinness and [former director of youth football] Jimmy Ryan never had any doubt of Tom as a footballer," says Cleverley Senior. "They were absolutely convinced about his technical capability and Paul persevered with him. I think Paul stuck his neck out for Tom because he believed in him so much as a footballer. I've no doubt that if he was at any other club in the country, he'd have been released at 14 or 15 because he was genuinely tiny."
"Sometimes you just get a feeling about people," recalls McGuinness. "Tom was very dedicated. Even when he was very young, you could see he had good eyes. When you were talking, he was listening. His eyes were popping out of his head. He was staring at you, sucking it all in. Although he was not outstanding as a player at that stage, you could see he was bright.
"He had talent and was a lot smaller than everybody else but that desire hit you in the face. He wanted to learn. He's a sensible boy and was willing to listen and do whatever you said. We went away to a tournament in Kenya when he was 16 and the way he went about things - on and off the field - showed that he was worth giving a chance to."
McGuinness proposed that Tom be held back a year and remain an Academy student, rather than follow the rest of his age band into the 2006 Academy intake. Though akin to repeating a year at school, the youngster shrugged off any embarrassment.
"He was already close mates with Danny Drinkwater and Danny Welbeck, so dropping down a year and playing with his mates didn't faze him too much," says Andy. "That season did him the world of good in terms of giving him confidence."

Members of a gang task force said today they want to amend Tennessee law to make it easier to convict gang members.
At a news conference, Assistant Hamilton County District Attorney Boyd Patterson, who heads the task force, said the members want to prosecute gang members under racketeering charges, which is not possible with the current law.
