Lands of Ammox Main Site:
Mobile MMORPG overview:
Sounds great. Let me know if you need a beta tester.
We'll be opening a field test soon.
Of course, this will be when our Internal QA dept finishes testing .
All I ask is not to let us down like Veraxon. I'm holding in my excitement.
You can compare quality:
1) Huge wiki, and step-by-step instructions for Android users, detailed wealth of information. Professionally designed and spam-free.
Not sure about the others...
2) On-line storage of helpdesk tickets so you don't lose them. Ticket system includes integrate purchase so you can view prior purchases, helpdesk tickets in friendly web-based HTTPS site.
3) GM team is replying to your question.
Not someone who asks you -
- for your IMEI or UDID or some unknown number,
- what is your IP address six months ago,
- the estimated date when you created your character, or
some lame questions you do not have any idea what the answer is.
4) It was designed group up, re-written more than 20 times.
HD graphics is built-in, where aspect ratio, various resolutions (especially for Android) is resolved first.
(Of course, you can donate money for it. But we don't do it).
5) Security. We added RSA 1024-bit with session keys. So all traffic is wrapped around a session key generated from server. We took care of security by doing public key.
So this prevents the kind of attacks you find in some infamous MMOs.
6) The artists here designed the artwork at 8192 x 4096 resolution, so if the iPad 8 or some future Mac with super-Retina display comes along, we're ready for it.
7) The PvP arenas have no wall physics and big chasm exists between the walls.
So if you go and hack the game to cheat, you fall down immediately. Fall down too many times, you are banned for wall-hacking.
8) Device lock. You can configure this game to be locked to certain devices. If someone else accesses your account and device-lock is enabled, that person is banned for all his/her accounts and devices he/she accesses.
8a) Sub-accounts with restricted permissions are allowed to be created.
9) Dice is changed so that ninja looting, lost-loot is avoided.
10) There are 2 mounts in the game yet, but it will not be a chore to move around.
Of course, that other game has more than a dozen mounts, there is more IAP you can buy than actual gameplay
11) Game uses fundamentally different method of rendering graphics than our competitors.
In traditional speak, they use solutions such as NGUI, ezGUI.
(Google it up).
You might even find same texts used in the vendor's demos in their MMO games
We went with industry standards, so one day, if the current engine we use has a bad attitude problem, or give unwanted trouble, we can drop our current engine, and move to another without much loss of work.
The work is compatible with 4 major game-engines, so depending on engine (same used in some famous games), there is work independence.
Just a few questions, I plan to have more.
Will android and Idevice player play on the same server?
I understand this is early on but are we looking at subscription, IAP or a hybrid with benefits to subscribers?

I worked at Google as an intern (less than an year)
The food is good. The events can be fun. MBA Interns get a few special events to participate in.
Google Enterprise was not a good place to intern with. The company isn't exactly sure whether it wants to invest in enterprise because the sales capacity to close a deal is not ideal compared to advertising. The summer was pretty lonely because the Partner Programs team is all seated in London or Europe. My manager didn't seem to really know what he wanted out of the project I was working on.
- Better alignment between project and company goals
- Don't put an intern on an island
- Your pitch at MBA schools isn't the greatest - refine so it doesn't sound too arrogant

I worked at Google as a contractor (more than an year)Pros
Not many - free food, some nice people to work with and the actual work was very easy when you take away all the obstaclesCons
System that never worked. Was there 2 years and not a day went by where there werent some issues with the system.
Performance based pay - different teams in competition with each other when all had very different obstacles to achieving a number. Different tool issues affecting people at different times and so never a true relection of peoples work and had to argue very hard in order to get heard. Taking on any extra work also puts you at a disadvantage as it is easiest to hit high numbers when you are just doing the basic work. Any special projects make it more difficult and so you are penalised for doing extra work.
Managements attitude toward staff is a disgrace - if you have any sort of complaint or query you are earmarked as having a bad attitude. We were basically told we should be happy to have work and to just get on with it.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Value your employees a little more, do not treat them like second class employees because they are temp.
Performance based pay will not work fairly until system issues are resolved and the targets are split between markets.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Choosing a pouching system
Colostomy management
Learning to take care of your colostomy may seem hard at first, but with practice and time it will become second nature, just like shaving or bathing.
Think of your colostomy's function as you did your natural bowel movements. You still have the same bowel, just a little less of it. The real change is having the stool come out of an opening made on your belly (abdomen). Learning how to care for your colostomy will help you adjust.
There is no one way to take care of a colostomy. This guide offers you tips and ideas for managing your colostomy. Discuss the ideas with your doctor or ostomy nurse and adapt them to your needs. Give new things a fair trial, but do not keep doing them if they do not make you more comfortable. Use your recovery time to learn and try different things so that you can find what works best for you.
In our society, bathroom needs are kept private. Talking about stool and bowel movements can be awkward or uncomfortable. This is often true for a person with a colostomy. But while you learn how to deal with the changes that have been made, you may need help and advice. A good sense of humor and common sense are needed when changes in body function take place. Be confident. You can learn the new system. Before long you again will be in control.
At first, it will be hard to tell what your stools will be like or when they will come out. The doctor and ostomy nurse will work with you to find the best way to contain the stool so you will not be surprised or embarrassed. There are many ways that this can be done. The choice depends on your type of colostomy, your usual bowel function, and your personal preference.
Care of any colostomy is really not very hard to do, but getting to the point where you feel comfortable takes a lot of learning, a lot of practice, the right supplies, and a positive attitude.
Bowel movements with a transverse colostomy
A transverse colostomy will put out stool no matter what you do. Keep in mind these points:
- A pouching system (also called an appliance) that will keep you from soiling your clothing is the right one for you.
- The firmness of your stool is affected by what you eat and drink.
- Gas and odor are part of the digestive process and cannot be prevented. Still, they can be controlled so that you will not feel embarrassed.
- Empty the pouch often during the day to keep it from leaking or bulging under your clothes.
- Change the pouch system before there is a leak. It is best to change it no more than once a day and not less than once every 3 or 4 days.
- The ostomy output can irritate your skin. You can prevent skin problems by having a correctly fitted pouch system and by using special materials for ostomy care.
For more information on care, see the section called "Helpful hints."
Bowel movements with a descending or sigmoid colostomy
You can treat the bowel movement through a colostomy like a normal movement through the anus; just let it happen naturally. But, unlike the anal opening, the colostomy does not have a sphincter muscle that can stop the passage of stool. This means you must wear a pouch to collect anything that might come through, whether it is expected or not. There are many lightweight pouches you can buy that are hard to see under clothes. They stick to the skin around the colostomy and may be worn all the time, or only as needed.
Some people with a descending or sigmoid colostomy find that by eating certain foods at certain times, they can make the bowel move at a time that works best for them. With time and practice, they may feel so certain of this schedule, they will wear a pouch only when a movement is expected. Some people use only this method to keep bowel movements on a regular schedule, while other use it along with irrigation.
More information on diet and eating is covered later.

Shares of ARM Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMH) swung wildly on the morning after its 2013 Q2 earnings report, released on July 24. At market open the stock spiked to about $42.80, only to settle back by the end of the day to about $39.60, a change of almost 7.5%. It was a classic case of investors being initially excited by the report, only to have second thoughts after they digested it.
The Calm
ARM had played the usual tired old game of camouflaging bad financial news behind non-IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) numbers, referred to in ARM's briefing charts as "normalized." In this case, the bad news was a charge of $63.4 million to settle patent litigation against ARM, which pretty much wiped out ARM's operating income for the quarter, leaving just $19.6 million.
ARM's year over year revenue growth was strong, however, at $264.3 million, up 24%. However, there are signs that ARM's revenue growth, which is closely tied to ARM processor shipments through licensing, may be starting to slow, as the chart below shows.
From Mark Hibben
Cont'd: 4
Matters only get worse in 2014, when Intel brings their first processors to market using their even more advanced 14 nm process, which will start production this year in Q4, according to Intel. ARM foundries such as TSMC and IBM's Common Platform partners Global Foundries and Samsung have all announced that they're working on 14 nm processes of their own, but there's no telling when they'll be ready.
Intel's success or failure may well come down to process advantage, something ARM has very little control over. ARM is doing what it can to help Common Platform with development tools, but can't do very much for the foundries other than lend moral support. ARM's fate may be in the hands of the ARM foundries.
From Mark Hibben
[If ARM's fate lies in the hands of the ARM foundries, then they are so totally toast. To find out why check out my previous post on "16 Reasons Why ARM's Fabrication Is Toast". To find it search the board for "ARM is Toast: 16 Reasons". There are 4 parts: I through IV...]
Cont'd: 3
The Storm
ARM investors and the entire ARM ecosystem are about to witness the mobile computing equivalent of Shock and Awe when Intel unleashes their mobile processor assaults in the third and fourth quarters. Intel has two main weapons in its arsenal: the ultra low power "fanless" Haswell processors, and the Bay Trail line of Atom processors. Both use Intel's 22 nm process, which shrinks the size of integrated circuits compared to the 28-32 nm process currently in use by ARM processor manufacturers. Both processor families will be more energy efficient than currently available ARM processors, as well as more computationally powerful.
The Haswell processors will go into more expensive tablets running Windows 8 Pro and will appeal to Windows users who want something more powerful in a tablet. Intel has targeted Bay Trail Atoms for mainstream consumer tablets with a price point around $200. These will be capable of running either Windows 8 or Android. At its Q2 conference call, Intel execs indicated that mobile device makers such as Acer, Samsung, etc. intended to offer the same Intel based hardware platforms in either Windows or Android configuration, and saw this as a way to lower development costs.
From Mark Hibben
Cont'd: 2
2) I also observed that ARM and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) were on a collision course in mobile devices as well as servers. Intel was preparing low power Intel processors that would compete in the tablet and phone space, while ARM was preparing more capable 64 bit processors to be used in low power servers.
For the most part the collision hasn't happened yet. ARM's 64 bit processor designs, dubbed the Cortex A50 series, have yet to enter production and probably won't before next year. Most of the Intel processors capable of competing with ARM in tablets and phones won't be available until Q4.
In this calm before the storm, some ARM investors may find it difficult to accept Intel as a serious threat. There was some indication of this in the jump in ARM's share price following its Q1 earnings report. As can be seen in the chart above, revenue grew in lock step with processor shipment growth, while operating income grew faster than revenue as operating expenses were cut. And the Intel threat was just a dark cloud on the horizon.
It wasn't until June that the Intel cloud drew suddenly closer and took tangible form that ARM investors began to take the threat seriously. By late June ARM shares had fallen from a high of about $50 on May 16 to about $35 on June 21.
The initial Intel threat took the form of the first of the 4th generation Core processors, often referred to as "Haswell." In its most power efficient form, Haswell can be used in tablets and what Intel calls 2-in-1 convertibles, tablets with detachable keyboards. But the first Haswell processors were higher power chips for desktops and laptops, and weren't suitable for tablets. The Intel threat once again seemed to abate as PC sales, and Intel's PC processor sales, continued to decline. ARMH shares have edged upward since the end of June.
Cont'd: 1
After ARM's 2012 Q4 earnings report, I made a couple of observations in my article "Does Arm Still Have Momentum?", which bear repeating now that two quarters have gone by.
1) I observed that the surges in ARM's share price in Q1 2011 and Q4 2012 correlated with announcements by Microsoft of its Windows on ARM initiative at CES in January 2011 and the release of Windows RT, the version of Windows 8 that runs on ARM processors and Windows 8 Phone in October-November 2012. I inferred that investors expected Microsoft ARM devices to sell well and increase the demand for ARM processors. I also asserted, based on mostly circumstantial evidence at the time, that Microsoft's Windows on ARM initiatives would be disappointing and achieve little market share growth.
By now it's apparent that Windows RT and Windows 8 Phone have not fueled a discernable acceleration in ARM processor shipments. According to IDC, 900,000 Surface tablets were sold in Q1, and some of these were Surface Pros with Intel processors. According to Gartner Reseach, about 6 million Windows Phones were shipped in Q1. Both numbers are relatively minuscule compared to total worldwide smartphone and tablet shipments in the quarter of 210 million and 49 million respectively.

Brutal Truth
Evolution Through Revolution
May 2009
Released: 2009, Relapse Records
Rating: 4.0/5
Reviewer: Aaron Yurkiewicz
Break out the bong and grab your ear plugs, because Brutal Truth is back with a new record. After a long self-imposed 12 year absence from the grindcore scene, the band has graced us with a new slab of noisy, caustic riffs that will turn your brain to mush. Not counting a spattering of splits and singles, EVOLUTION THROUGH REVOLUTION is the first collection of new music since 1997's SOUNDS OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.
The most familiar Brutal Truth lineup is back for the album, with the exception of new guitarist Erik Burke (ex-Nuclear Assault). Often referenced as the American grindcore equivalent to early Napalm Death, EVOLUTION THROUGH REVOLUTION is full of the acerbic social commentary that the band built their reputation on. But without a lyric sheet, it doesn't matter much, as lead throat Kevin Sharpe delivers his most spastic vocal performance yet. Kind of a grind version of Fantomas, Sharpe uses his vocals to ebb, flow, shriek, and garble dynamically along with each tune. The songs are fast, short, and to the point, just like grindcore should be. But as it's easy for music in this genre to get lost in unrecognizable mush by track 3, each tune on EVOLUTION THROUGH REVOLUTION is distinct and calculated. "Sugardaddy," "Get A Therapist and Save the World," "Humpty Finance," and the title track are all prime examples.
Also included is a cover of the Minutemen's "Bob Dylan Wrote Propaganda Songs." An interesting choice to cover a pop driven post-punk band, but given the revolution inspiring fodder on the rest of the album, it works in the overall sense. The band's grinding approach to an otherwise upbeat jangly tune shows the breadth of their influences and likely their sense of humor as well. "Grind Fidelity" suitably closes things with a caustic implosion of noise at the end.
Closer in style and in substance to SOUNDS OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM than NEED TO CONTROL, Brutal Truth have evolved into a focused and socially aware grindcore institution. Whether it's marijuana laws, the hopelessness of war, or the state of the world economy, Brutal Truth have something to say and their own special eardrum piercing way of saying it. Does EVOLUTION THROUGH REVOLUTION top Napalm Death's TIME WAITS FOR NO SLAVE as best grind album of 2009? Not quite, but it's a close second.

Earlier in the winter Jay and Loic started making trips down to the Winter Pig Hotel in Penticton. This is the massively long roof/ cave that saw it's first development last year. They quickly got to work playing on a number of new lines, but very notable is the addition of the low start to an aleady difficult, unclimbed line cleaned last year. This thing is really long and every move is tough. Even with a solid effort, this baby isn't close to a send yet. Best estimates right now put it in the V12/13 range! After that, Jay got to work on a couple other cool lines, one including an awesome roof crack and the other has a great foot first sequence. Both of these will likely fall in the V9/10 range and Jay is pretty darn close to FA'ing them.
Here's a video of jay on the roof crack line.

In addition to these lines, Ryan Williams and I managed to add a new V9ish super thin seam in the Pig Hole (the line that felt much harder last year). If you like thin, hard crimps, this is the line for you! With a tricky sequence and very technical movement, we found it quite fun. About a week later, I also managed to sneak back into the Winter Pig and bag the FA of a long, powerful connection between Jay's roof crack and the already established Greased Pig (V6) and this connection feels like V8/9 or so.
Adding to all that action, I know that Garrett, Doug, Jay, and Nikita have all been back into the Pig Hole since then. Needless to say, it's getting a ton of action (almost every weekend) and beauty new lines are still going up.
Aside from the Winter Pig, a good amount of people have also been hitting up Pebble Beach. With a number of new lines near the end of the beach adding to the long-established lines as well as the calm, scenic surroundings, lots of people love getting out to Pebble. I know the Heywood boys are still making trips out there and just this past weekend, Braden pulled the FA of a line scrubbed this past season which falls somewhere in the V6-8 range. We managed to get down to Pebble a little while back and I was almost able to get the topo finished for the new guidebook. It's funny how there are a lot more lines there than most people think... with a bunch more climable rock mixed in with the pooh pooh.
Cedar keeping it real at Pebble
Taking a break between drawing topos
Even more action is happening almost as far south as the boulders go in the Okanagan. Doug has been putting a load of work into retro-cleaning the Bighorn area just south of OK Falls. Yet another of Doug's previously established areas from years ago, the Bighorn rarely sees any action. However, with the huge boom of bouldering in the region right now, Doug- in true Doug fashion- has shared all the info for the area and gone back in and done some work so that it's in tip-top shape. There are some established classics here with what sound like some of the hardest lines around waiting for their FA's. I love how we can say that about almost any area in the Okanagan right now! A huge thanks to Doug for getting people psyched about the area.
Here are a couple videos from Doug and Curtis's day at the Bighorn yesterday.
The Bighorn with Vasseaux Lake in the background (thanks Doug for the pic)
Otherwise, I've been hearing about many peoples' forays into areas throughout the valley, and I'm super excited that we have a much larger, dedicated bouldering scene developing here. I keep saying this, but people haven't believed that it's super good here in the past, and then they get out bouldering in the Okanagan and realize that it's for real!
Finally, I also want to give a big shout-out to Stu Smith who just started Grandwall Skin Repair. Stu is a strong climber based in Squamish and he made a trip up last year to develop a whack of new lines at Boulder on the Bench. He just sent me up a bunch of his product (oh man it's gonna get a workout setting the comp this weekend) and I'm stoked to help represent this stuff. If you want more info let me know or check out Grandwall Skin Repair on Facebook.

They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section.

It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet.

I just had my procedure yesterday. My surgery was performed by Dr. David Choi, Riverside, Ca. I didn't go looking for a doctor to do this procedure, he's part of the medical group that my insurance covers. My procedure was 100% covered by insurance! I didn't even pay a copay.

Dwight Howard open to Boston Celtics in free agency
Just yesterday, I had an argument with a friend about whether Dwight Howard would want to come to Boston.
"No way he wants to trudge through snow to practice, enter a situation where the roster moving forward is entirely unpredictable and come to Boston, where not a single top-tier free agent (with the exception of Rasheed Wallace, hah) has ever decided to sign," I said.
"But Rondo! Doc Rivers! The Celtics could re-sign KG and Ray Allen to small deals, make another run at it next season and build around Rondo and Howard — think about the alley oops! — for the future," he replied.
I shook my head.
"There are no indications he would even CONSIDER Boston," I mentioned.
Until now.
And the indication comes straight from Howard himself, via the Boston Herald's Steve Bulpett.
"Always. Always," Howard told the Herald. "I'd always listen to a team like that.
"My thing is I want to win. It's not something like I'm doing this for money. I win. I want to do it my way."
"The first thing is basketball," he said. "I want to win a championship, and it takes a certain type of team to win a championship. You know, there's a lot of teams who are great during the regular season. They play well, but it's different once you play in those playoffs, you know? It's gut-check time.
"Like I told the Magic, I just want to win. I don't want a team that doesn't know how you have to win in the playoffs. I want a team that's going to go out every night and forget about stats, forget about who scores the most points or who is the fan favorite. Just go out and play, play for each other and play to win. That's the only thing."
"You know," said Howard, "you look at a team like Boston and look at a team like LA who's won . . . especially Boston. Man, those guys came together and they didn't care who scored all the points. They had done all the individual stuff.
"You know, for me, I've done a lot of things individually, but I want a championship. All those accolades that I've got over the years, they mean a lot, but it's just different watching teams hold up that trophy and knowing how hard you have to work to get it.
"They have the championship mentality," he said of the Celts. "It means a lot. Like I said, I like the team. They play hard and they go after it, and that's what I like."
I can only imagine Danny Ainge reading this report, eyes bulging, drool pouring out of his mouth, cell phone as always glued to his hand, mind racing thinking about what it's going to take to acquire Howard.
And then I allowed myself to dream. What if Howard came? What if he and Rondo allowed Boston to completely skip a rebuilding process? What if — gasp — he helped extend the Big Three era?
We talk a lot about Kevin Garnett's slide this season, and it's clear he no longer plays with the lift and the explosion he once used to become the world's best defender. But couldn't Howard extend KG's career a few years? Wouldn't Howard's presence be a blanket that would cover up KG's slowing steps? Hell, Howard has led some of the NBA's most successful defenses the past few seasons with Rashard Lewis and Ryan Anderson as his running mates. Isn't KG, even at age 36, a considerable improvement on those guys, at least defensively? Wouldn't KG's jumpers be a little (/a lot) more open if Howard were down low waiting for an alley oop from Rajon Rondo?
And what could Howard do for Ray Allen? It's a shooter's dream, playing the perimeter while Howard commands constant double teams. Allen can't move like he used to, but he's a cardiovascular robot sent from Mars who can tickle nylon nets with a basketball on command. Wouldn't Howard allow Allen to continue aging gracefully, and wouldn't he make it easier for Allen to find daylight, and wouldn't you love to see a starting five consisting of Rondo-Allen-Pierce-KG-Howard, if only for one season? Or hell, maybe Allen and Garnett would sign for really cheap (after all, they have more money than the vault Scrooge McDuck dives into like a swimming pool), Ainge could sign a couple other cats in 2012 free agency (if Ainge sends a maximum contract Eric Gordon's way, do the Hornets match, or does a Rondo-Gordon-Howard trio rule the world for years to come? Would the Celtics even have cap space for that? No? CAN'T YOU JUST LET MY DREAM LIVE!?!?).
/pinches self
Okay, it's time to start living in the real world again. Dwight Howard might listen to Ainge's call, but Ainge still needs to convince him that Rondo, Rivers, maybe Pierce, and a mountain of uncertainty are enough for Howard to bet the absolute prime of his career. Be persuasive, Danny. It's still a long shot, but he'll listen. It's a start.
9 Responses to "Dwight Howard open to Boston Celtics in free agency"
I'd be interested in Howard, but I'm sick of hearing about him. Sorry, but I don't have a Howard wet dream every night. He's another blamer, who wants some gold-plated scenario, who clearly doesn't get the most out of his talent.
That said, I think he'd be dynamite with the Cs and Rondo.

What some of you fail to realize, maybe because your a couch commando whose main artillary is pretzels and Budweisers( nasty ass beer by the way),is that it's not easy to win a championship, to push past your body's limits and focus your mind on the goal at hand, and never be complacent.

Danny Ainge still need to make those 2 big trades by next month. Trade Wilcox,Dooling,Daniels,Pavlovic,Johnson, & 1st round pick to Houston for C.Budinger,T.Williams, & H.Thabeet. Trade A.Bradley & E.Moore to Sacramento for I.Thomas. After the trade deadline Ainge should sign E.House & R.Wallace for 1 year and I guarantee the Celtics will come out the East and they will win the title. That will make Dwight Howard come down their fast and we can go back 2 back 1 mo time with the BIG 3.

I believe the answer for the time being is: "Thank you very much; please
give us a bit more time to get that worked out." We do have an official

so at the moment we don't know whether or not your donation would be tax
deductible. (Also, I don't think we have a bank account just yet, but
that's a relatively easy fix now that we have the incorporation
Again, thank you very much for your interest.

Take Two for December 6, 2012
Organized labor mobilizing fast-food workers to unionize
JUAN MABROMATA/AFP/Getty Images
A McDonald's fast food parlor remains closed during a unions' strike that blocks the approaches to the capital, on November 20, 2012 in Buenos Aires. A general strike was called Tuesday by the working unions opposing the government of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner to protest against the taxes on wages.
While many in California might see the future as more rosy, the workers serving you burgers at your local fast food joint might not be feeling quite so upbeat. There's more than 2 million of these workers across the U.S.
They work in places like McDonald's and they're among the lowest-paid workers in the country. Most don't belong to unions, but organized labor has taken note and introduced a new approach to mobilize these workers.
Eduardo Porter, economics columnist at the New York Times, joins the show to fill us in about this new effort.

Amazon.comGabriele Muccino's Playing for Keeps, an awkward mix of sports and suds, exists primarily to keep the Gerard Butler contingent happy. Fortunately, the Scottish actor gives a likable performance, speaks in his native brogue, and boasts the kind of lean physique that comes from back-to-back athletic pictures (in Chasing Mavericks, he played a surfer). Though he once enjoyed a successful soccer career, Butler's George now struggles to make ends meet. The action begins after he moves to Virginia to reconnect with his son, Lewis (appealing newcomer Noah Lomax), though he's ultimately hoping to reunite with his ex-wife, Stacie (Jessica Biel), except she's engaged--and still bitter about his past infidelities. When George catches sight of Lewis's soccer coach slacking off, he steps in and wins over players and parents alike. So far, so good, except the way talented actresses like Judy Greer, Uma Thurman, and Catherine Zeta-Jones throw themselves at him registers as more pathetic than amusing. The real heavy of the piece, however, isn't Stacie's nice-guy fiancé (James Tupper), but the insanely jealous millionaire (Dennis Quaid) with the lonely wife (Thurman). If the male-female machinations feel familiar, the movie comes alive whenever George spends time with the kids, an outspoken group who recall the wiseacres of Bad News Bears, except Muccino (The Pursuit of Happyness) spends more time with the predictable adults and their predictable problems. But for those who just want to hang out with a handsome Scotsman for 107 minutes: Playing for Keeps gets the job done. --Kathleen C.

Facebook Rolls Out Redesigned Events; Users Can Choose Calendar Or List Format (AllFacebook)
Facebook's overhaul of its events feature took a big step forward Wednesday, enabling users to view their events in either a calendar or list format, with the changes originating from one of the social network's hackathon events. Wednesday's introduction of the calendar and list formats followed Facebook's moves in June to allow users to export events to users' calendars and introduction of a revamped gear menu, as well as a test by the social network, also in June, of notifications alerting event organizers when their invites were declined. VentureBeat The new and improved Facebook Events with calendar and list view comes with a few niceties. Facebook members can respond to invites and leave birthday messages without leaving the Events page. Posts, photos, and videos are a part of the experience as well. Mashable Calendar view is gradually rolling out to all Facebook users. You can check it out by going to your Events page on Facebook and then clicking the "Calendar" tab on the top left side of the screen. TechCrunch Facebook Wednesday announced a brand-new version of its Facebook SDK for iOS, offering a ton of new features and perhaps most notably, support for iOS 6.

The Failure of American Atrocity Prevention
In 1992, the United States became involved in UNOSOM, a Chapter VII humanitarian mission in Somalia. The original goal of our participation in this mission was to ensure the safe delivery of humanitarian aid to a suffering Somali population. As a part of Operation Restore Hope, we began to focus in on the capture of General Mohamed Farrah Hassan Aidid, a wanted Somali warlord.
Drones in the Name of Civilian Protection
From surveillance tool to weapon of war, drones have quickly captured the attention of the world. Most notably used by the U.S. military in Pakistan as a part of the "War on Terror", many have come to only see the violent side of this technology. In some circles, the word drone has become synonymous with civilian casualties. With the number of civilian deaths, it is hard to argue against this view.
#SudanRevolts: A Young Journalist's Perspective
Known on Twitter simply by the hashtag #SudanRevolts, the protests that erupted in Khartoum nearly a month ago now do not seem to be fading. In fact, the movement is gaining momentum, with those involved hoping to finally see real change in the country. Calling for the removal of current President Omar al-Bashir (among other demands), the movement's goals are ambitious to say the least. Yet as daunting as it may seem, success is crucial both for the people of Sudan and their new neighbor South Sudan.
Licking your Elbow: Sudan's Arab Spring Revival
Sudan's most recent spate of demonstrations that began on 16 June at the University of Khartoum and have since spread across the country have been a long time coming. Similar student demonstrations began in late January 2011 and were revived in January 2012. Both were met with strong crackdowns by police and the National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS).
Our Complacency with Impunity
In the midst of the referendum on independence in Sudan in early 2011, there was great concern that the situation would deteriorate into a full-blown civil war. Tensions were high, with outbreaks of violence in many of the border towns, such as Abyei. Calls were made stateside for the appointing of a high-level US diplomat for Darfur, as well as making genocide prevention a priority among the international community. After the vote on January 9, 2011, we saw the creation of the new state of South Sudan. There was great hope among many that this was the beginning of a path toward peace in the region.

Confronting the Criticisms of those Kony 2012 Ads
Views of the Kony2012 campaign launched by Invisible Children (IC) have drastically fallen after its initial premiere on 5 March and the subsequent backlash. On 16 March, IC founder and star of the video Jason Russell was back in the news after having a breakdown in San Diego. The rhetorical space for advocacy around the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has been eroded. The work of IC, in its own right, has largely been discredited and oversimplified.
Civilians: The Ultimate Victims of the Veto
While the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) has been gaining traction, particularly with its recent implementation in Libya, the international community is still a far cry from actualizing the doctrine's true potential. Beyond the obvious difficulty of motivating states into a coordinated action, there are additional factors that continually block the implementation of R2P in particular and civilian protection in general.
Setting Aside Politics: Finding Common Ground for Sudan
It can often feel as though our nation is broken down into a multitude of distinct groups that will never come to see eye to eye on any topic. We sense it among our families and friends as we debate the efficacy of a movement such as Occupy Wall Street, in our offices as we heatedly discuss politics, and in our media as we see our nation's political system broken down into the wrong, the right and those that own them. The vitriol in our politics and our media has led to this climate of "us" versus "them" in nearly every aspect of American society.

A small-town Virginia hardware store that is involved in a lawsuit with its co-op will close Friday, according to a report in the Washington Post.
Paint may be a very emotional decision for consumers, but in the retail world, it's a simple business plan: If you want to sell a lot of paint, dedicate enough space to it, assign a full-time, well-trained sales associate to the paint desk, and carry more than two lines of paint. One of those brands should cater to the pros. Find a way to keep the contractors separated from the homeowners, which is not all that difficult; professional painters don't like to sit on sofas surrounded by tasseled pillows.
A 16-unit supermarket company in Texas and New Mexico is taking the plunge into the hardware business at one of its stores.
A 32,000-sq.-ft. store in Abilene, Texas, has altered its format to combine hardware and groceries., with 35% of the building dedicated to home improvement and repairs, according to an article in the Abilene Reporter-News.
A new Georgia law effective July 1 provides that people who are parties to franchise agreements are not to be considered employees for purposes of workers' compensation benefits. The legislation essentially protects franchisors from comp claims by franchisees.
The new law covers individuals "who are parties to a franchise agreement as set out by the Federal Trade Commission franchise disclosure rule, and deems that the relationship between franchisors and franchisees is governed by the rules of contract law, not those of employment law.

CoreLogic, a provider of analytical information about the housing market, reported that the current residential shadow inventory as of January 2012 was 1.6 million units, approximately the same level reported in October 2011.

Measurement firm comScore reported that online retail spending (excluding auctions, autos and large corporate purchases) for the fourth quarter reached $49.7 billion, up 14% versus year ago.

Ace Hardware Corp. officially received the trademark for Clark+Kensington, its new line of paint-and-primer in one.
The trademark application was filed April 26 and was registered Jan. 10 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, according to US Fed News.
Ace Hardware launched Clark+Kensington paint last year and has seen it surpass its goals of member penetration, available in more than 2,700 member stores at the end of 2011. The co-op is engaged in a five-year plan to grab 8% of the DIY paint market.

After analyzing several years of data, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) has announced that it overestimated the number of existing homes sold between 2007 and 2010 by 14.3%. This means that 2.9 million fewer homes were sold in the United States during that time period than previously thought.
In one of the most passionate outbursts of reader mail of the year, the industry resoundingly sided with a retailer's right to advertise -- or not to advertise -- wherever it deems fit.
All customers are not created equal.
During Lowe's annual conference Tuesday, senior VP marketing and advertising Tom Lamb defined the company's target customer by first breaking down home improvement consumers into four distinct groups.
Lowe's target, he said, is on the two largest spending groups, together called "creators."
