Perugia's charm comes from the richness of its setting, and its historical and cultural heritage. The regional capital of Umbria is perched on a hill overlooking the Umbrian plain that opens out to magnificent and dreamlike vistas. Its picturesque layout, the imposing ancient buildings, the countenance of the medieval architecture and the gentleness of the paintings by famous artists contribute to making it one of the most characteristic and fascinating cities in Italy.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

First it was Rod Blagojevich who sent free rides soaring on the Chicago area's transit system, and now the lingering effects of the Great Recession are keeping the numbers high, experts say.
The former governor's gift of free rides to all Illinois senior citizens in 2008 was scaled back in 2011 to cover just low-income seniors.
But skyrocketing growth in free rides taken by low-income disabled individuals on the CTA, Metra and Pace — from about 1.5 million in 2008 to 29.6 million last year — has far outpaced regular ridership gains.
The state covers only a fraction of the cost for reduced-fare rides, CTA spokesman Brian Steele said. "Any significant jump in mandated rides puts pressure on the CTA budget,'' Steele said. "Those increased costs, and any reduction in funding, also diverts monies away from providing bus and rail service.''
That's one side of the story.
The other side is that the free-rides service is a lifesaver to the people who depend on it.
Jesus "Chuy" Campuzano says that if he could land a stable job, he would hand his free-rides card to the next person on the disability rolls.
"My free-rides card is like a godsend, because I am the type of person who likes to stay active,'' said Campuzano, 31, who was born with water on the brain. "I am able to go out to job fairs and disability expos and see what kinds of jobs they are offering.''
Campuzano, a lifelong Chicagoan, this month completed an internship and is volunteering at Access Living, a Chicago-based nonprofit organization working to remove barriers that people with disabilities encounter.
His activities include lobbying lawmakers in Springfield on behalf of the disabled and, by extension of those efforts, advocating for more funding to the transit agencies.
"When I go to Springfield I tell them my story. I tell them where I come from and I tell them why people with disabilities need health care, home services and transportation,'' Campuzano said.
It cost the CTA $62.3 million last year in uncollected fares to provide free rides to low-income disabled individuals and low-income seniors, according to the transit agency. The CTA provides the bulk of the government-mandated free rides in the area.
Metra and Pace estimated their lost revenue from free rides last year at $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The uncollected fares must be made up by cutting other expenses or passing along the costs to fare-paying riders, officials said.
The state provides no subsidy to the transit agencies for statutory free rides to low-income seniors and disabled individuals. Meanwhile, the state budget crisis has led to the General Assembly cutting the state reduced-fare reimbursement to half of what it was in 2007.
The free-rides program administered by the Regional Transportation Authority has 167,730 customers. The majority are low-income senior citizens and the remainder are low-income people with disabilities. All are qualified for RTA free-rides permits through the Illinois Department of Aging's Benefit Access Program, formerly known as the Circuit Breaker program.
The number of free rides given away on the CTA, Metra and Pace peaked at 53.6 million in 2010. That was two years after Blagojevich's mandated free rides for all senior citizens 65 and older, regardless of income, took effect in March 2008.
Blagojevich, who was governor from 2003 until early 2009 and since 2012 has been serving a 14-year prison term for corruption, cut a deal in 2008 in which he would not veto lawmakers' plan to raise the transit portion of the state sales tax if the General Assembly went along with his idea to offer free transit rides to all senior citizens living in the state.
The political compromise "didn't sit well with our community," said Tony Paulauski, executive director of The Arc of Illinois, which represents agencies that serve people with disabilities. "Our community said, 'We aren't looking for a handout.' We thought free rides should be means-tested."
Senior free rides with no income means test were phased out by September 2011, leading to a sharp decline in free-riding senior citizens. To receive the benefit, total income must be less than $27,610 for an individual or $36,635 for a couple.
But instead of the total number of free rides tailing off after the General Assembly ended the popular policy of free rides for all seniors, the transit agencies are now providing a record number of free rides to low-income disabled individuals.

28 week appointment
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 09-09-2012 - 11:31am
Well, 27w5. I passed my GD test with great numbers she said! One of the lowest she's seen (She's only a resident, but I *pink sparkly heart* love her!) I'm up 2lbs since last month, and have 1 more 4 week wait before starting 2 week appointments.
She's very happy with my progress on the prenatal depression, as am I and SO. Taking time out for myself every day has helped greatly! I have so much more patience for everyone lol so I guess DS would say he's happy too if he could talk lol!
My UTI is back, again. So we're switching my antibiotics again lol but we also got to peak at DS2! She admitted she couldn't remember how to tell positioning with an u/s so she went and grabbed an antending OB who showed her how to tell by just poking my belly (which hurts by the way lol) and than showed her how on the ultrasound and....
So hopefully he stays head down and no c-section for this mama!
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 6:13pm
Yay for a great appointment!!!! I'm so glad you passed your GD test and that your prenatal depression is doing ok. I'm sorry your UTI is back though. And yayyyy for baby being head down! Where do you feel most of your movement? I think my LO still changes positions constantly because sometimes I will have days of feeling him move right by my belly button, sometimes right on top of my bladder, sometimes at the very top of my stomach, and sometimes it feels like he is transverse because I will feel his movements on each side of my belly. I hope he stays head down as I get closer to delivery though.
|Tue, 09-11-2012 - 4:57pm
my last two have fliped from head down to tail down in just a few hours at 36 and 37 weeks. in the doc's office they told me baby was head down and ready to go and when i got to the hospital a few hours later the head was in my ribs and they both had to be turned. with the first one it was kind of scary but with the second i actually told the doctor how he was going to handle it since i had been through it once already. both of them came into the world with no vac or forcepts or c-section needed.

From Levi: ?Over the past five months, I have had the privilege of getting to know the guys in Cadillac Sky. They have been one of my favorite bands since I stumbled onto their record , Blind Man Walking, several years back. And now I have the honor of calling them my friends. I have always had, and still have the utmost respect for Bryan. If I tried to replace him, it would ultimately end in failure. I will be bringing something different to the table, and I can only hope and pray that you like what you hear. Thank you for this opportunity. In other words, it looks like I probably won't see my house for the next couple of years. But I assure you that I will be working hard with Cadillac Sky as well as my solo career.

Denied employment at agency due to ordered prescriptions
- 0Mar 3, '12 by RNwithHonorsHello everybody. First of all I would like to say I think this website is great. I've been using it throughout RN school, and recently I decided to make an account after getting my RN License.
So, here is some back ground...
a) When I applied to RN school, I fully disclosed all medication that I was taking, which is also by order of a providers prescription. (Vicodin, on rare occasion if needed for breathrough pain, valium 5mg prn, and ambien 10mg prn insomnia)
b) In light of this information, RN school accepted me nevertheless. Throughout RN school I excelled. I maintained a 3.7 GPA, worked an average of 20 hours per week (in pharmacy), and I excelled in safe patient care, getting several recommendations from my instructors and preceptor.
The situation is this...
My final semester ended in December. I was literally sought out by the Director of the acute-care floor where I did my preceptorship to start working as soon as I had my RN License. I completed all the paperwork for hire, took the NCLEX in January & passed in 75 questions, and informed my other job, of 8 continuous years, that I would be moving on to be a newly employed RN.
a) As part of the conditions of starting, like everyone else, I had to pass the pre-employment physical, etc. Within the process of filling out this paperwork, I honestly completed it the same way that I did my paperwork for RN School.
(in other words: I was forthright about my legally prescribed medications, before I took my drug test)
The drug test showed positive for benzodiazepines,
but the test was deemed negative because I have a prescription for them.
b) The offer was withdrawn.........
c) I stated to the Doctor denying me clearance, "How is it possible that I have done approximately 500/1,000 hours of the BRN prescribed clinical hours, at this hospital, and there was never an issue when I wasn't being paid?"
The doctor responded "they probably didn't know you where on these medications".
I told him my RN program was well aware of it, and furthermore, I was one of the minority of students in my school that never got written up for making ANY minor or major errors: throughout my entire program, and I had practically almost all straight A's.
*Nevertheless, the job where I was going to be doing what I love, & make appx 35/hr, was pulled from me just a few weeks ago,
and I have been left stunned.*
If I were a threat to myself or others, i could understand the offer being pulled.
But come on, the Doctor actually just simply told me "if you were off the medications, you probably would have gotten the job".
Now I ask for your help my fellow RNs...
My question is: do you or anybody you know, who takes occasional AND LEGALLY prescribed controlled substances have a job as an RN?
If so, did you disclose this in your pre-employment physical?
Your input will be greatly appreciated...
However, I do ask for those of you who may want to say something presumptuous or rude, please keep it to yourself.
(p.s., for those of you who may wonder: I NEVER have ingested ANY controlled substance at while at clinical or while working in the pharmacy in 8 years)Last edit by RNwithHonors on Mar 3, '12 : Reason: adding one last detail
- 2Mar 3, '12 by Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorI am prescribed a couple of C-IVs that I take occasionally. When I went for my pre-employment physical, I was asked to list all the medications I was on. I listed everything: controlled, regular, OTC as well as when I took each last.
I don't know if I tested positive for anything--I had been taking the benzo a few days prior due to a death in the family--and I didn't ask for the specific results. But whatever the UDS outcome was, they told me things were fine, I went ahead with the physical and started the job shortly thereafter.
Sorry this is happening to you.
- 5I don't really have any experience with this and I don't mean to sound harsh but just because you can and do take a medication legally doesn't mean that it doesn't impair judgment/function. It's legal for anyone over 21 to consume alcohol, but you can bet a nurse would get fired for having alcohol in their system during working hours. It sounds to me like the potential place of employment has determined that a positive test for benzos=impairment.
- 4Mar 3, '12 by Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorQuote from jt43The problem with benzos, especially long-acting ones like Valium, is their long half-life. The OP could have taken it three days prior to the test and still test positive--even though the effects of the medication on the OP lasted only several hours and are long-finished by the time of the test--because it takes forever for Valium's metabolites to pass through the system.It sounds to me like the potential place of employment has determined that a positive test for benzos=impairment.Last edit by Meriwhen on Mar 3, '12
- 2Maybe it would be a good idea to switch to a benzo with a shorter half-life and make sure not to take them the week before a drug screen.
- 6Mar 3, '12 by caliotter3I think it would be worth your trouble to look further into this. I believe you were done a disservice if they followed their policy and that policy were not disclosed to potential employees as part of the hiring process. The other lesson here is to not walk away from your present job until you have a written offer or are just about to start the new job. It seems too many people are caught up in this type of thing. Sometimes the first new paycheck even bounces. Nothing sure anymore.
- 1Mar 3, '12 by NickiLaughsPlaces are denying people work for various things including smoking now because of the higher insurance costs/sick days/etc. Basically, if you aren't completely healthy, they are finding ways to not hire you. They not only want the best and brightest now...they want the healthiest. Any medications on the list other than vitamins are probably starting to get red flags.
My most recent physical at a hospital was ridiculous and involved jogging around with weights in my arms. I'm certain many floor nurses wouldn't have passed it, I barely did and I'm in OK shape and only 28.
More than likely somewhere in their policy allows them to deny you employment. I would just try to find a job elsewhere.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
- 5Mar 3, '12 by Altra GuidePolicies on interpretation of drug screens will vary from employer to employer -- and there is nothing in the law that prevents employers from doing so.
Your school's policies regarding your drug screen have no bearing on future employment.
- 0Mar 3, '12 by klone, BSN, RNQuote from AltraThis. What happened while you were in school has nothing to do with what is happening now, so I'm not sure why you keep making a point of bringing it up. Nursing school policies have no bearing on hiring practices at this hospital. Most states are "at will" and they can choose to hire or fire for whatever reason, and if your drug screen didn't come back clean, I don't know that it matters if you have a prescription. They may decide that they don't want to deal with the hassle of trying to decide if it was because of a legit prescription or something you diverted, or if you have a substance abuse issue, and they'll just decide to move onto the next candidate, from which I'm sure they have a huge pool to choose. The lesson in this - don't take controlled substances when you're applying for jobs!Your school's policies regarding your drug screen have no bearing on future employment.

Simple things are worth blogging about
8 Jun
These aren't the headlines yet, but they should be. I am furious to learn about two American reporters and the faith they have suffered in North Korea. In case you haven't heard about these two women reporters from the U.S., I can give you an update on the story. The officials in North Korea have arrested two women that were just trying to do their job as journalists in Korea. They were in the northern section of Korea and not working the southern side with our friends from South Korea. They were arrested on fake charges and were only held against their will, because the officials in North Korea want to use them as pawns in a political game with the United States. Tensions are high between the USA and North Korea and most of this comes from the latest missile tests the North Koreans have been conducting. They now think the best way to negotiate with the U.S. is by holding two American citizens hostage in their country and the U.S. will lower their hand toward the hostile nation of North Korea.
The people in charge in North Korea need to learn that the negotiating is between them and the U.S. Government. You need and must work with them on their differences between the two nations. I don't care if my government sees your country as a hostile nation or a friendly nation and whatever help and aid they want to offer your country is fine with me. When you start taking American citizens and holding them against their will for no good reasons and two fine ladies like Euna Lee and Laura Ling (that are American citizens) then you have the citizens of this country in an outrage and this is not good for your nation at all.
You may see the headlines reading that the U.S. is working through all possible channels for the release of Lee and Ling; but I can assure you this is not the truth. You have now taken an action of war toward the United States of America with the latest ruling today. The North Korean officials have sentenced two American citizens to 12 years of labor for crimes they have not committed. I will not stand for this and the other 300 million Americans living in this country won't either. They are no channels that aren't going to be tried for the release of these two American citizens. You have forced our hand as a nation to declare war on your nation for taking hostages. As of today you are holding two prisoners of war and they must be released immediately! Releasing these two women and assuring their safe return to China or South Korea is your only option now and you must act swiftly. Our military is gearing up to strike your nation and now I agree with my government that you're indeed a hostile nation. Your actions today will not be accepted and we don't care what other countries think and we will act alone if necessary. Your best move now is to release these two women and try other ways to gain aid for your country.
The U.S. can only see this as an act of war and your missile testing as of late confirms your intentions and the state of your current government. We can not wait for you to take more innocent prisoners or to launch one of these missiles on a friendly nearby nation. I demand that my country give you 100 hours from today to release Euna Lee and Laura Ling or we invade your country and hunt down Kim Jon il. The same faith that Saddam Hussein faced is what Kim Jong il is on a heading for and his time is up. The release must and will take place now or the nation of North Korea will no longer exist as a nation as we see it today. The citizens of North Korea do need to flee to China and South Korea now and escape the bombs from the sky that will be falling on North Korea. I would also urge the citizens of North Korea to take a stand against their leaders and understand that two innocent women are being held against their will in their country right now. I think 100 hours is the deadline and the U.S. has no choice but to wipe the nation off the map and make sure the leaders of this so called nation can never hurt anyone again.
I'm a U.S. citizen standing up for my fellow citizens and you can have hostile intentions to my government and it doesn't concern me. When you take actions against my fellow citizens; then I will take actions against your nation. The U.S. citizens are declaring war on North Korea now and it's only a matter of time until the pressures reach our government officials and they see war or military action is our only option to a nation that has no eyes or heart for justice. Release the two American journalists now and save what is left of your nation and the innocent citizens that live inside the borders of your country now. Everyone living in North Korea now does need to leave and this is the time to stand up against your government officials because the Untied States of America does have your back!

Barbara Castelli was presented with her husband's long-missing $4 million Roy Lichtenstein painting in Downtown Manhattan on Tuesday, 42 years after the painting was stolen.
The painting, titled "Electric Cord," vanished in 1970 after Leo Castelli sent it to an art restorer for cleaning.
The 1961 painting was recovered in July at a storage warehouse.
FBI officials traced its whereabouts through an art gallery in Colombia before it wound up back in the city.
Barbara Castelli said she is focusing on where she will hang it now that it has been returned.
"I think I said I'm going to hang it home, if I can find a place to hang it. It's crowded," she said.
By Tuesday evening, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara had not said whether criminal charges will be filed against anyone responsible in the painting's disappearance.

BOWIE, Md. (AP) -- Prince George's County police say a car crash involving a police cruiser has left an Upper Marlboro man dead.
Deputy Chief Hector Velez says Cpl. Michael Mogavero was responding Wednesday morning to a report of a car crash when his vehicle collided at a Bowie intersection with another car.
The driver of the other car, 32-year-old James Dejay Toliver, died of his injuries. The 54-year-old officer suffered minor injuries and has been released from a hospital.
It happened shortly after 3 a.m. at the intersection of Route 197 and London Lane.
Velez says police haven't identified any witnesses to the collision, but are investigating the cause, including through dash cam video, and trying to determine who is at fault.

The scandal surrounding the decorated four-star Army general who once ran the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan involves questions of national security, politics and even the September 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead.
FBI agents were at Broadwell's Charlotte, North Carolina, home late Monday, said local FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch. She declined to say what the agents were doing there.
Video from CNN affiliate WCNC showed a handful of people getting out of vehicles, carrying boxes and bags into the house. None spoke to reporters, even when asked who they were.
Days after Petraeus' resignation stunned Washington, information continues to emerge. Among other things, a video has surfaced of a speech by Petraeus' paramour in which she suggested the Libya attack was targeting a secret prison at the Benghazi consulate annex, raising unverified concerns about possible security leaks
The affair came to light during an FBI investigation of "jealous" e-mails reportedly sent by Broadwell to a woman named Jill Kelley, a government source familiar with the investigation told CNN on Monday.
Kelley, 37, and her husband Scott released a statement saying they have been friends with Petraeus and his family for more than five years and asked for privacy.
Although Kelley lives in Tampa, Florida, she's known as a member of Washington's social circuit, according to the government source. The source has not spoken to Kelley, but says friends describe her as feeling like she is an "innocent victim."
Petraeus has denied having an affair with anyone other than Broadwell, according to a friend of the former general who has spoken with him since news of the affair broke.
The scandal also is rumbling through the halls of Congress, where leaders in both parties are seeking answers about the FBI investigation and there's much speculation about the impact Petraeus' resignation will have into the inquiry into the Benghazi attack.
Petraeus was scheduled to testify on the attack and the government's reaction to it this week.
Here's a look at the major threads of this still-unfolding story:
Why does it matter? Security and Benghazi
While affairs may be commonplace in Washington, when they involve the director of the CIA, things can take on a different tone.
Analysts say there is no evidence that a security breach occurred as a result of the affair, but that hasn't stopped discussion that Broadwell could have gained access to classified information as a result of what she has routinely described as "unprecedented access" to Petraeus.
That discussion seemed to gain momentum Monday thanks to comments Broadwell made in a speech last month at the University of Denver.
"I don't know if a lot of you have heard this, but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner and they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to get these prisoners back," Broadwell said.
A senior intelligence official told CNN on Monday, "These detention claims are categorically not true. Nobody was ever held at the annex before, during, or after the attacks."

Good points contik + Si.
As another Primary Tech the 4 school I currently support are all W2K3 + XP and everything works how it should and works well. As wonderful as W7 there is nothing I can't currently do with my setups that would warrant a change to W7. It's not the huge change that W2K + XP was over NT4 + W98.
Cost is a huge consideration. The money that it would cost to upgrade to W2K8 + W7 would be in the thousands. This money could be spent on better wireless infrastructure, equipment for pupils and staff such as visualisers, camera, data loggers, video cameras, digital microscopes, curriculum software, the list goes on. This will benefit Teaching and Learning far more than an OS upgrade.
Personally I plan to roll out W7 gradually as new kit comes with it installed. You can manage W7 clients with W2K3 in the same way you could Vista.

AliceSoft is an eroge developer, one of the oldest in existence. Although they are perhaps not as well known as the truly big groups like Type-MOON and Key Visual Arts, AliceSoft has managed to carve out a niche for itself by incorporating interesting and involved gameplay elements that occasionally challenge the player. Where other developers will eschew gameplay in favour of telling a fantastic story or cutting straight to the heart of the matter, AliceSoft embraces it wholeheartedly to the point that many of their works on this wiki could be classified as both Video Games and Visual Novels.The company began in 1989 making games for the PC88, MSX and PC98. These included a Visual Novel known as Intruder and the very first Rance game, chronicling the adventures of everyone's favorite Heroic Comedic Sociopath as he searched for and "rescued" kidnapped girls. They continued to release games in uninterrupted succession until 2008.Many of AliceSoft's games tend to be either Eastern RPGs, Dating Sims or Turn-Based Strategy Games and have a penchant for sly, subtle jabs at elements of anime and Japanese pop culture in general. Their more beloved titles fall squarely in the Explicit Content category and have high quality soundtracks courtesy of their in-house composers. Occasionally the company will allow its games to be adapted into short OVAs that tend to overemphasise the "porn" aspect of the works.Alright, let's face it. Most people know of them because of Rance.
Notable AliceSoft titles include:

Chef's Sweet Fussy Balls
Submitted by Mishimoo on May 25, 2009 - 11:12pm
Servings:About 10 small balls
This is a perfect way to use up your left over nut pulp from making but milk. Any nut pulp will work.
I named these balls after Chef from South Park and his famous song...and because they have the coconut flakes that makes them fuzzy.

US-China Trade Update 4-4-2012: Working Together
President Hu Jintao and U.S. President Barack Obama recently met in Seoul to discuss their views and work on further promoting the China-US cooperative partnership, as well as discuss regional and international issues of common concern. Meanwhile, China and U.S. are working together, holding the third China-U.S. Women's Leadership Exchange and Dialogue (Women-LEAD). Some experts, however, feel that the China-US relationship is still suffering from a strategic distrust. Analyst Wang Jisi claims "China views the United States as a declining power, but at the same time believes that Washington is trying to fight back to undermine, and even disrupt, the economic and military growth that point to China's becoming the world's most powerful country." All this and much more in this week's U.S. China update.

In the News –Sorting Out Conflicting Data on China's Industrial Economy
New York Times, April 02, 2012
"The gap between the official China factory index and the one produced by HSBC reached its widest point in two years in March, raising an important question: Which has a better handle on the country's economic growth? … The encouraging news for those who believe that the Chinese economy will have a soft landing is that the more bullish official purchasing managers' index appears to be more closely correlated with economic conditions and a better predictor of things to come."

In the News –Two Sides to Labor in China
New York Times, March 30, 2012
"The shorter workweeks and higher pay that Apple's biggest contract manufacturer, Foxconn, has promised would mean fundamental changes to factory work in China — assuming enough workers can be found in the first place…No worker is likely to oppose higher hourly pay, of course. But one reason that workweeks of 60 hours or more have been possible at factories run by Foxconn and others is that at least some laborers already on the payroll have wanted the extra hours."

Commentary –John Garnaut: The Revenge of Wen Jiabao
Foreign Policy, March 29, 2012
"If Premier Wen Jiabao is 'China's best actor,' as his critics allege, he saved his finest performance for last. After three hours of eloquent and emotional answers in his final news conference at the National People's Congress annual meeting this month, Wen uttered his public political masterstroke, reopening debate on one of the most tumultuous events in the Chinese Communist Party's history and hammering the final nail in the coffin of his great rival, the now-deposed Chongqing Communist Party boss Bo Xilai. And in striking down Bo, Wen got his revenge on a family that had opposed him and his mentor countless times in the past." Read more

Analysis – Knowledge@Wharton China: China's Gravity-defying Economy, How Hard Will It Fall?
Knowledge@Wharton China, March 28, 2012
"As China's high-octane economy shifts into lower gear, virtually everyone agrees that the double-digit, super-charged boom years are drawing to a close. Speculation over the possibility of a so-called "hard landing" for the country flourishes with each boom and bust cycle, only to die down as China's growth revs up again. This time, however, both external and internal factors -- including global conditions, domestic politics and financial trends -- are reinforcing the downturn. Many experts warn that without some painful reforms, there will be worse trouble to come." Read more

Wharton finance professor Jeremy Siegel and Scott Richard, March 28, 2012
"The Dow has hit its highest level in years, loan rates are at record lows and the U.S. economy appears to be gaining momentum. Even the housing market is starting to look inviting. But is this a real recovery -- or a false start like last year's? Wharton finance professor Jeremy Siegeland Scott Richard, a Wharton practice professor of finance, think the economy is showing signs of a true rebound and predict that stocks should do well in the next 12 months. But bonds, they warn, are in dangerous waters, and economic growth will be in jeopardy if oil prices keep rising and the European credit crisis worsens." Read more

Let it be said that the 84th Annual Academy Awards showcased more than a bit of celebrity impersonation -- and not just from host Billy Crystal. After Angelina Jolie struck an affected leg-thrusting pose while presenting the Oscar for best adapted screenplay, The Descendants co-writer Jim Rash couldn't resist striking the exact same stance when he took the stage to accept the award.
The sequence started with a quip from Crystal introducing Jolie as "the original girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "the other half of Billyjelina" -- which may be the reason the In the Land of Blood and Honey director, 36, was so amused when she stepped up to the microphone. Before starting to read the nominees for the two screenwriting awards, Jolie (dressed in a gorgeous Atelier Versace dress with a thigh-high split) stuck her hand on her hip and popped out her right leg out of the sexy slit.
So when The Descendants trio (including Rash and co-writers Alexander Payne and Nat Faxon) accepted their award, Rash -- who is best known as the flamboyant Dean Pelton on NBC's Community -- decided to mimic the famous Hollywood beauty. Rash explains that the homage was all in good fun, because the show's producers had asked all the nominees to select only one person to speak when there were multiple winners on stage.
"Honestly, as soon as I saw her pose like that, I was like, 'I'm going to do that,'" Rash told Entertainment Weekly at the Governors Ball after the show. "I knew Alexander was going to take the reigns, so I was like, 'How can I make a moment?' -- selfishly," Rash joked.

Blizzard hammered their flag in the new world – The World of Warcraft in the fourth quarter of 2004. Like the Beatles to rock, like Charlie Chaplin to comedy, World of Warcraft defined The MMORPG phenomenon. Destroying all PC game sales records and locking millions in front of monitors in homes and in Internet cafés worldwide.
But what makes World of Warcraft so successful? – Similar to how Fast food products exploit our primitive lust for high calorie foods. World of Warcraft exploits the the human psyches constant hunger for gratification, by overindulging the players with real feelings of success through minimal effort.
By continuously overindulging players with a fake sense of achievement, WoW becomes more than a game. It becomes a platform for real achievement through almost no real effort. With achievement being a direct stimulus of happiness, WoW becomes much more addictive than the average video game.
A lot of players will prioritise WoW over almost everything else. The gamer will begin to unconsciously shut off from the outside world and potentially ruin real life connections, such as friends, family, and social activities. It's a pity, but it seems to be a reoccurring sad tale of the forlorn gaming addicted WoW player. Nothing else can offer the same pure and easily attainable gratification that WoW will always happily allot. As long as you're paying, of course.
In my opinion, WoW is not a game. The lack of real gameplay and story deny it the status of a video game. For that reason I believe, that put in specific peoples hands, World of Warcraft is an extremely exploitive tool, weaved specially to keep the player tied to the screen while Blizzard dips into your wallet every month.
Horror stories have surfaced involving fully grown adults effected by the Warcraft plague. One sad incident in 2005 climaxed in the death of a 4-year old child.
Most gamers tend to disregard the media uproar over WoW. Why should we care what the mainstream publications have to say on video game matters? Wasn't Fox news, one of the biggest news organizations in the world, the publication that condemned Mass Effect due to its "explicit sex scene" which was nothing more than a bit of side boob and blankets?
I challenge you to look at the devastating effect this game can cause. WoW poses a real threat to future generations of gamers and gives gaming a bad name in general.
Hopefully you'll think twice the next time someone tells you – "its just a game."
