I like the return of pre-owned games and game rentals but in the process we have lost three things
1. game sharing which would have meant if I listed you as my family we could have played each other's games for free.
2. Playing games without needing the disk in the console. Which interrupts the seamless flow from one game to another. Now you are going to have to get off the sofa to change disk, but at least the always on Kinect will be able to measure the carlories burned while you do this.
3. By removing pre-owned DRM it has removed a strong source of continued revenue for the publisher. Which in the long term could have meant i. More money sunk into games and game development with publishers taking risks so more interesting games, rather than 'People like first person shooters let's write another one of those' ii.a Steam for consoles and much cheaper games.
I always said there's nothing inherintly wrong with DRM if it's handled correctly. MS have made a complete pigs ear out of the entire situation! I take it the DRM as gone from download games as well as disc games? They should have kept it in tact for download purchases and only required the disc in the drive for disc purchases. Oh well.
It was a generation too soon, and their handling of it may have buggered their chances at getting right next time as well. PS4 is still £80 cheaper with more usable RAM and a faster GPU...
The cynic in my thinks this was all an elaborate, incredibly risky, marketing ploy...
1) Announce something nobody likes
2) Do a U-turn and look like the good guys
3) ???
I don't think there was anything wrong with their original plan. They needed to tweak it a little but it was sound. Their problem was poor marketing. The entire marketing campaign so far has been a shambles.
I don't think this is a marketing ploy. There is going to be a day one patch to disable alot of the features on the Xbox One (Link). Personally I'm disappointed but it may have been too much, too soon.
You can all shoot me down but I would have liked a steam esk xbox with drm. I imagine at some point I would be able to buy second hand games directly in the xbox menu etc.
Xbox one > Bin
Ps4 > Bin
Pc > Heaven.
Sunnyknight, another opinion of yours I agree with!!! :D
problem for me is the children also like to play games and being able to push a button and play without all the other pc stuff is a must. Wish I had the cash for console and decent pc.Quote:
Xbox one > Bin
Ps4 > Bin
Pc > Heaven.
I think I'll be buying the first 2-3 games on PS4 on disc - just because. But after that I think I'll go over to full download only since everything will be available day one anyway and I have the net connection for it :D. For the most part I'll probably wait for the discounts or budget release rather than buy day one, or hope Sony give it away with PS+ in the future - depending on the game.

spiralized zucchini with tomatoes and 1/2 chicken sausage link (need to figure the cals - but I'm thinking less than 160)
Gonner I just zoodled about 6 zucchini I had in my produce drawer lol.
I let the zoodles drain in a colander for about an hour, then wrap the whole bunch in triple layer of paper towels, then pop that in a gallon size zipper baggie with the zipper half open and refrigerate.
They stay fresh about 4-5 days that way :)
Dottie, thanks for that description of your zoodles. I have struggled with zucchini ribbons in the past - they start to leak their moisture so quickly that it has wrecked my delicious marinated salads. I think your technique will totally save the day!
I have been really struggling lately keeping my calories in control. In fact not so much struggling as failing. I think it's PMS oriented (excuses, excuses) but today I'm re-dedicating myself to control.
B: Iced tea, iced coffee
L: Coffee/HWC
D: Deli ham
Target: 400 or less
Hi everyone!

Thanks JJ! I'm feeling good and motivated today. I'm going to rock this DD!
Barbo, hang in there! I know what you mean about a couple of failed days. That's how I've been feeling too. But I'm going to refuse to call it a fail because we are still here and trying our best. You rock lady! Don't forget that! :high5:

Have had a terrible day and night last night, and doing all I can to have as normal a day as possible. :(
I'm having trouble restarting JUDDD so I'm beginning at 45% (796 cals). I'm honestly quite embarrassed to post this on the DD forum but I'm hoping to ease back into the JUDDD mindset.
Lunch: Cucumbers with a tiny bit of ranch (50), baked chicken (170), baked whiting (100)
Dinner: Grilled chicken - 2 (250 calories), tofu fried rice (200 calories)
Don't be embarrased, Spoon. Some of the JBs still do 700-800 calorie DDs. Sometimes I do too. :) Sounds like a satisfying and healthy menu!
:hiya: Spoon:)
Shoot, most DD's I'm at 600-650 lol.
I know from past experience I tend to lose better at that level.
I plan for the 500, but I don't beat myself up if I go over a bit :)
Spoonful - now you have to stay with the "high DD women"! :) The lowest I've got was one day at 460 I think and while I admire those who can do it, I'm too wimpy! And the higher DD helps keep the cravings under control I think, especially in the beginning. And it works like a charm (or it does for me) if you go higher protein like you are. Hey, if I can avoid potato chips (my personal food nemesis) on an up day, there's something miraculous going on. :lol:
Glad to see you here. :shake:
You guys are SO wonderful!
Thank you all so much!
B: Greek yogurt 80
D: black eye peas potatoes w/ greek yogurt
around 300.
total = 380
1st returning dd almost over! Whew!:up:
Thanks Carol and Cindy
I came in a bit higher than planned but at least I brought it home.
One more bit of cream for my tea tonight and I'm finished.
Tomorrow regular UP day but I am keeping my eye on myself
not to stray by keeping it mainly LC.
I had an unexpectedly stressful and conflicted family situation this evening and didn't want to eat much. I think this has been my lowest DD ever at 253. All is pretty much resolved now, so on to a good controlled UD tomorrow.
|All times are GMT -7. The time now is 02:03 AM.

Foodie Finds Abound in the Coastal Town of Rockport Texas
by Joey Stewart
This popular destination for tourists and fishermen is about a 6-hour drive from Dallas and houses dozens of restaurants featuring fried fish, BBQ and burgers. Over the last few years, however, it's become a town where chefs from all over have made their home and brought with them award-winning dishes and concepts that rise above the "fried seafood platter". The area also hosts several food festivals each year such as "Coastal Flavors Weekend" and "Oysterfest". So next time you find yourself as one of the lucky ones relaxing, fishing, swimming, or boating, head over to one of these gems and enjoy a fine meal and a glass or two of wine. Continue reading

First Look: TJ's Seafood Market New Location at Preston-Royal
One of our favorite seafood restaurants and markets started in their tiny digs at Preston and Forest back in 1989, and founded by Tom Haden and Jim Kearnen (thus the T and the J). The pair retired ten years later making way for the new owners, Pete & Caren Alexis who appreciated the shop since its inception. The family promised to maintain its values and excellence in quality and service. In 2009, Jon Alexis took over as the "third generation" owner of TJ's Seafood Market. Continue reading

Belly And Trumpet's Brian Zenner Captured The Sea
Chef Brian Zenner is an interesting soul of a chef, and it plays out well on his plates. Born in Thailand, but also lived in Dubai and London, gives this chef a well rounded perspective on how we should be dining. The chef sharpened his skills working in Portland and in Austin before making his way to Dallas where he had a stint at the Mansion on Turtle Creek just before being recruited as Chef de Cuisine at Oak under Jason Maddy. Zenner finally landed his own exec position at Belly and Trumpet. It is at Belly that the man displays his talent, and we are all better for this.
This past weekend Zenner entertained a packed house to a Sea to Table dinner, which consisted of eleven courses, not counting a pastry course by Oak chef Lucia Merino. The night sizzled with excitement as each course was hand delivered; you could hear a strong buzz among the crowd which was suddenly silenced and replaced with the soft clink of forks hitting plates.

When Nike this month accepted the Federal Maritime Commission Chairman's Earth Day Award for outstanding shipper leadership and innovation in sustainable ocean transport practices, it affirmed the giant sportswear and equipment manufacturer's longtime push into sustainable logistics.
No longer just a novel concept, sustainable logistics has evolved into a business strategy with tangible benefits to the bottom line. Witness the more than $8 million Nike saved in 2009 by shifting shipments from air to ocean, reducing its emissions per product moved by 4 percent.
For Nike and other shippers at the head of the environmental logistics movement, the transportation end of the supply chain is now painted in green.
Having already plucked a lot of the low-hanging fruit — reducing backhauls, optimizing routes and retrofitting equipment — shippers, carriers and third-party logistics providers are ready to take sustainable logistics into a new era of collaboration covering the entire supply chain. "There are point solutions, but to unlock the most potential, you have to look at the entire supply chain all the way upstream to the manufacturing process," said Casey Chroust, executive vice president of retail operations for the Retail Industry Leaders Association.
Green logistics is here to stay for obvious reasons. Global freight transportation and distribution systems account for more than 3 billion metric tons of carbon emissions each year. That's equal to more than 700 coal plants or the combined pollution output of Canada, Germany, Japan and Mexico.
By 2035, emissions from freight in the U.S. are expected to rise 74 percent, and China is expected to increase its use of freight transportation fuels by 320 percent in the same period, according to the Environmental Defense Fund.
In a freight market that is among the fastest-growing sources of fuel consumption and carbon emissions, 3PLs and shippers can make a huge environmental difference, especially by reducing carbon emissions and paving the way to meet future reduction targets. "There are a lot of operational conditions that shippers and 3PLs can implement that have significant potential to reduce fuel consumption," said Jason Mathers, manager of the EDF's Corporate Partnership Program.
Sustainable supply chain management encompasses many strategies and components, including mode shifting, collaborative distribution, supply chain and transportation optimization, alternative fuels, hybrid vehicles, recyclable packaging and carbon mapping. Key programs and organizations in the green logistics universe include the Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay Transport Partnership, Clean Cargo Working Group and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Until now, shippers and 3PLs have focused on network efficiency and optimization because of the direct correlation between cost savings and carbon reduction. They recognize that alternative fuels and hybrid vehicles are likely the wave of the future, but not until they become cost effective.
"There's such great synergy with cost savings and carbon reduction," Mathers said. "They're almost perfectly aligned."
The advent of carbon mapping is significant because it allows companies to benchmark green logistics strategies against real data. That's important because carbon trade-offs are complex and actually can increase emissions if they're not properly measured and managed.
Retailers and their suppliers are embracing sustainability even as they redefine how far upstream it goes into the supply chain, said Jonathan Gold, vice president of supply chain and customs policy for the National Retail Federation. "Consumers are looking for the retail industry to step up and take the lead on sustainability," he said.
There are scores of examples of successful green supply chain initiatives. Hewlett-Packard, like Nike, slashed costs and emissions by moving cargo from air to ocean freight.
Baxter International, a global medical products and service company, increased its use of U.S. shipments using intermodal from 9.6 percent in 2005 to 12.8 percent in 2010, reducing carbon emissions by 14,000 metric tons. Levi Strauss cut carbon emissions by 60 percent in some shipping lanes by switching to intermodal.
The Container Store, working with BNSF Railway and J.B. Hunt Transport Services, now supplies nearly a third of its stores via intermodal, reducing the carbon impact of deliveries to the stores by 41 percent and saving more than $300,000.
"The savings and sustainability benefits of intermodal were too big to pass up," said Tom Sangalli, logistics and transportation director for The Container Store.
Macy's and Schneider National collaborated on an empty miles reduction program developed by the Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Solutions Association in 2009. During the program's pilot phase, Schneider eliminated more than 60 tons of carbon dioxide and 147 tons of particulate matter, while Macy's reduced annualized transportation costs by an average of $25,000 per lane.
Cisco Systems saved $24 million annually in a pilot program to reduce packaging and use recyclable packing materials. The company digitized some paper documentation, began using boxes that were easier to compress and introduced recyclable plastic pallets.
"The leadership that leading companies like Wal-Mart and Nike have shown is critical to sending strong market signals to 3PLs and other market suppliers that sustainability is practical and doable," Mathers said.
For many shippers, 3PLs function as their de facto supply chains. Package delivery giant UPS is such a big part of so many global supply chains that it was inevitable the company would be at the vanguard of sustainable logistics. With almost 100,000 delivery vehicles, 6,175 tractors and more than 500 jets operating in 220 countries, the $53 billion company has long sought to reduce fuel use and optimize transportation networks to lower costs and help the environment.
In 2009, UPS launched its Carbon Neutral program in the U.S. and took it international a year later. Businesses and individuals in 36 countries can mitigate the emissions impact of their shipments by requesting that UPS purchase carbon offsets for the shipments' value. The offsets are financial instruments that support highly vetted pollution-reduction projects such as the Fujian landfill in China, the Garcia River Forest Project in California and the La Pradera landfill in Colombia.
In 2010, UPS joined the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, became an organization stakeholder of the Global Reporting Initiative and began reporting five of the 15 categories included in the new GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain Accounting and Reporting Standard.
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the most widely used tool for quantifying and managing GHG emissions, classifies emissions in three scopes. Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from purchased energy, and Scope 3 emissions are all indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of the reporting company.
The majority of emissions come from Scope 3 sources. For example, Kraft Foods, one of 60 companies to first test the GHG Protocol standards, reported value chain emissions accounted for more than 90 percent of its total emissions.
In 2010, UPS began offering assessment services for customer packaging based on packing materials, cube optimization and damage prevention capabilities. In addition to saving money, customers can create a greener profile by reducing packing material and increasing the use of recyclable content.
UPS employs a number of methods to optimize fuel usage, including intermodal shifting, next-generation air traffic management and proprietary routing technology. Telematics, which combines information about behavioral and mechanical variables that affect fuel efficiency, has helped eliminate more than 39 million minutes of idling time and improved miles per gallon in the company's domestic package segment by
7.8 percent between 2000 and 2009.
As consumers become more aware of the impact of their purchases on the environment, the greening of the supply chain has gone beyond the bottom line. "There are a lot of things a company can gain from reducing its environmental footprint," said Sarah Flagg, head of green logistics for Damco, the forwarding and logistics arm of A.P. Moller-Maersk Group. From a sustainability standpoint, Damco focuses primarily on increasing supply chain efficiency through carbon reporting and visibility, global standardization of carbon methodologies, packaging optimization and helping customers develop sustainability strategies.
Although consumer-facing industries such as retail, technology and lifestyle tend to take the lead in green logistics, most industries are moving in that direction. "There's hardly a tender that we get that doesn't have a question about sustainability practices at Damco and how we can help them become greener," Flagg said.

I recently purchased a TomTom Start 20 navigation device. When connecting to my PC it says the device is not connected and that I need to install the drivers. When trying to install the drivers it give me an error saying that the source files are missing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I've tried letting it search for it in Windows Update and selecting the folder under program files, but still gives the same error. I am using Windows 7. Please help!!
Make sure it is NOT a USB 3 port you are trying to connect to.
Where would I find the installer?
please help me solve this problem, because i can not make any installations any more

Welcome to the site
If you are having Tomtom Network / USB Driver Problems
Make sure you've got the latest version of the MyDrive application installed on your computer ..... How to install MyDrive
Have you installed the latest Windows updates ???
The Tomtom Network / USB drivers have been removed from the latest install program, and now the MyDrive install uses the drivers from the Microsoft Driver Pool, updating Windows should refresh the Microsoft Driver Pool
Edit ..... MyDrive version (220.127.116.112
The latest MyDrive version (188.8.131.522) stores a copy of the driver in the computer, in the folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MyDrive Connect\Driver\INF
The driver for our NAV3 and NAV4 devices is available in Microsoft Update. By default the computer will automatically download the driver when the device is connected to the computer.
This feature can be disabled by a setting in the computer or by company policy. Details in the Microsoft KB article
Online driver search is also disabled when the Windows activation is invalid.
When windows fails to locate a driver it will show an error and in most cases offer the possibility to change the setting
Click on the Spoiler Icon
Device manager shows error code 28, meaning that no driver is installed
Click on the Spoiler Icon
(1)..... Link to support FAQ ..... I have a "Driver not found" error when using MyDrive, what can I do?
(2)..... Cut 'n' paste of Mikko's MyDrive FAQ post + Update
Click on the Spoiler Icon
Cut 'n' paste of Mikko's FAQ post and Update
Incorrect or no Driver installed
You can confirm that this has happened and reinstall the driver if needed as follows:
Go to the Device Manager
XP/Vista/7: Click Start – right-click (My) Computer – choose Manage – Device Manager
Windows 8*: Press Windows logo key +X to open the Quick Link menu and click on Device Manager.
Locate your device listed as a Network Adapter
If you do not see your device listed, click on the icon on the left of Universal Serial Bus Controllers. The device will show up as an unknown device or as a mass storage device. To determine which is the correct device, you can disconnect the device and the respective icon should disappear.
Right-click the device and choose Uninstall
(Restarting your computer is recommended at this point)
Once the driver is uninstalled, soft reset (a.k.a drum roll reset) your device, while connected, by holding down the power button until you hear a drumming sound (ca 20 sec).
The driver will now be reinstalled
FAQ Update Starts here.
If Windows is unable to locate the driver or Device Manager shows an error coder 28
You can also download the driver from the Windows Update catalog and install it manually or download the TomTom NDIS driver (The link is too long to show: right-click and choose Copy Link or Copy shortcut to send it)
Note..... Its the same file which ever link you choose, the first link is to the Windows Update catalogue with the file description
The second link is straight to the driver installation file.
Extract the contents of the .cab archive to any folder in the computer, the desktop for instance
Two files are included, tomtom.inf and ttrndis.cat
Open Windows Device Manager (right click on Computer and choose Manage, then click on Device Manager on the left)
Right click on the TomTom device > Update drive software > Browse my computer
Click Browse and navigate to the folder where you saved the two files from the driver
Click Next and the driver will install
(3)..... Other Options
Click on the Spoiler Icon
Other options
(3a)..... Manually install Tomtom Drivers Win 7 (The access to the Device Manager will be different on other Windows systems)
Windows 8.## Press Windows logo key +X to open the Quick Link menu and click on Device Manager
Plug your Tomtom in to the USB port and turn it on (device needs to be connected for the divers to show in Device Manager)
Click on the Windows Start button
Click on Control panel
Click on Device Manager
Click on Network Adapter
Note :- If there is a yellow question mark the driver is definitely missing or corrupt
Right click on TomTom (on my system it can be Tomtom, Tomtom #2, #3, #4 etc...) I own several Tomtom devices
Click Update Driver Software
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
Now you have two options
(1)..... Choose the Tomtom driver Win 7 offers
(2)..... Un-Tick Show compatible hardware and find TomTom in the Manufactures column and choose a driver
( I'm only offered the one Driver)
Click NEXT
Click Close
Win 7 should now have installed the Tomtom Driver
(3b)..... Automatically diagnose, fix and enable the Tomtom Drivers
If you have installed MyDrive and are getting "No Device Connected" or Tomtom Network Driver errors
Try the Windows FixIt Centre for Hardware Device Problems It should diagnose, fix and enable the Tomtom Drivers automatically. Plug your Tomtom in to the USB port and turn it on (Your Tomtom device needs to be connected for Fixit to install the correct drivers) now run the Microsoft Fixit program from the blue link above and follow the on screen Instructions
Do you have you access to an earlier version of MyDrive (With the Device Drivers) ??? If "Yes"
Install the earlier version, then run MyDrive and accept the offer to update

Our mates at NZSA recently went through a full rebranding process. The agency is now known as SPUR, and we were delighted to help them design their brand new board-room.
The centrepiece of the room is a really clever piece of modular furniture design. At it's most basic level the elements can exist independently as two-seater couches, or the couches can be quickly and easily combined to form a stunning board-room table.

I took this at low tide during the recent storms a couple of weeks ago. I was actually trying to keep well away from the sea spray when the wind blew a huge wave half way up the beach, filling my wellies and splattering my lens.
It's a bit of a mess and I haven't attempted to clean up the splatters, but I think I like it for the memories.

By John Lobota (Shadow21) March 2003
WARNING: The Shadow X3 is NOT A TOY!
Simple enough for anyone to use,
yet potent enough for the most seasoned coin or relic hunter,
with a sensitivity to gold that matches many gold prospecting detectors.
The X3 performed extremely well in the iron trash, including nails. There were only a couple of iron targets that fooled the detector, like large iron pipes, sheet metal, large chunks of iron, coiled up barbed wire, etc. Then, even most of these could be further discriminated by their shape and size using the VCO PP. The few pieces I actually dug included a large iron bolt and a couple chunks of cast iron pipe. So, in my estimation, searching amongst iron trash was no problem for the X3.
Again, to alleviate any concerns... In all the time I have used my Shadows including the X3, I have not had any difficulty detecting in iron or nail infested areas. Digging nails is a thing of the past.
On our next relic hunting trip, it was my son's turn to use the Shadow X3. This time it would be for a short while at a known Seminole Indian War Fort Site that has been searched by other hunters. This proved to be a little harder for my son Jonathan than coin hunting, but he was still successful. The targets were much smaller and deeper than he is accustomed to. However, with a little coaching on the first couple of signals, he thereafter was able to recover over a dozen buckshot and percussion caps on his own. Buck and caps in this area are found at several inches depth and missed by other detectors. So, I think both he and the Shadow X3 performed very well. He wanted to find a button or a musket ball... I told him that he did very well and to remain persistant. Maybe next time it will happen. The X3 certainly has the ability, whereas many detectors can miss those small, low conductive relics, but not this detector!
It was during a beach outing with the Shadow X3 that I attached and used the 9" spider coil. Shadow X3 is readily able to accept accessory Shadow coils for improved performance and detecting options. Upon my first swing with the larger coil I felt like I was using the X5. The additional weight was negligable and forgotten after a few moments of use. The next thing I evidenced was a marked increase in ground coverage making it perfect for the beach or any location where there is a lot of ground to cover. This spider coil also made it near impossible to miss the deepest and smallest targets, even with only slight overlapping of my sweeps. Another major benefit was it's increased depth detection. As with the stock 7" concentric coil, the 9" worked flawlessly in the wet sand, too. Pinpointing took a little more effort and practice, but once accomplished, could be easily repeated. With all the other X3's features remaining the same, the addition of the 9" spider coil takes this detector to a whole new performance level.
My experience using the Shadow X3 was overwhelmingly positive. Without hype,
the X3 lives up to its role as a super-lightweight, turn-on-and-go detector
that anyone can use, with superior performance for coinshooting, relic hunting
or beach hunting. Apples to apples, the X3 could be considered a benchmark
by which other similar detectors are measured. There are no flaws or surprises...
it's one heck of a detector, period!

It seems Microsoft doesn't want rival Sony to corner the VR headset market as the software giant is preparing to unveil their own VR gear during next years' E3 in Los Angeles.
Sources from the supply chain of components let slip the info, and say Microsoft's hardware team is behind the endeavour. Sony unveiled their Project Morpheus VR tech back in March.
New gameplay trailer for Tropico 5: Waterborne
The 'declaration of war on the ocean' is well underway in Tropico 5: Waterborne, which features all-new water-based industry, homes and even new foreign power deterrents like a submarine.
A new gameplay trailer has been released by Kalypso Media showcasing some of the new floating real-estate El Presidente will be commissioning for his fellow Tropicans.
Chris Roberts congratulates 'rival' David Braben and Frontier for Elite: Dangerous launch
Star Citizen is far from its launch day but Cloud Imperium's Chris Roberts has published a congratulatory letter to space sim rival David Braben and his Frontier Developments team for fully releasing Elite: Dangerous.
Roberts has been a supporter "since day one, and am thrilled to see it become a reality." He'll be firing it up over the holidays, and reminds the Star Citizen community there's no real rivalry.
Open weekend for Trials Fusion's online multiplayer kicks off today
Trial Fusion's upcoming multiplayer component is free for PC players this weekend, if you fancy injuring a virtual motorcyclist in the company of some friends.
The free trial runs from December 19 at 10am CET to December 22 at 10am CET. You do need to have an existing Uplay account to sign in to the game's online mode.
Dennaton announce vinyl Collector's Edition of Hotline Miami 2
Leave it to Dennaton Games to come up with a suitably cool Collector's Edition for its long-awaited murdering simulator sequel, Hotline Miami 2. The $60 edition will contain three vinyl discs with 28 tracks from the game's soundtrack.
If the sequel's music is anywhere near as excellent as the original's, that's quite the treat. There's no tracklist yet, as Dennaton wants to keep that a secret until the game's released.
Street Fighter 5 is being developed on the Unreal Engine 4
Capcom has announced that its upcoming brawler Street Fighter 5 is being developed with the Unreal Engine 4, the first time in the series' history that Epic's powerful software has been utilised.
That might explain why the upcoming entry is looking so tasty. Capcom showed off a new and improved engine in an initial gameplay trailer released at this year's Capcom Cup event.
Spintires creator claims publisher Oovee has disappeared, "together with the loot"
Developer Pavel Zagrebelnyj came up with the strangely addictive off-road sim Spintires, in which you try to make it through the churned-up roads and forests of Russia in a variety of heavy-duty vehicles. It had beautifully done mud physics, and a few months back it was something of a cult hit.
Since then, despite being very popular on Steam, the game's never really added a whole lot to that basic 'drive a truck through some mud' formula. Now Zagrebelnyj is accusing the UK publisher Oovee of taking the money and running, and preventing him from continuing development on the game.
Ubisoft details first piece of Far Cry 4 Season Pass content, the Escape from Durgesh Prison
Far Cry 4 is set to get its first piece of Season Pass content in January, and Ubisoft has detailed exactly what players can expect. Namely the introduction of permadeath in the new Escape from Durgesh Prison solo and co-op mission.
It's based around a level from the core game's solo campaign, but this time Ajay can team up with his (annoying) co-op buddy Hurk to scavenge weapons and ammo, and complete a series of challenges in a vaguely roguelike structure in order to escape.
Co-op shooter The Red Solstice gets new map and extra missions in Pitch Black update
The Red Solstice is an eight-player co-op game set on Mars, where you and your friends take on the role of burly space marine types with a penchant for heavy weaponry, tasked with cleansing the planet of unpleasant alien critters.
The Early Access shooter has just received a new update titled 'Pitch Black', which features a new industrial themed map, four new missions and an overhaul of several combat skills for the various classes.
December update for Clockwork Empires adds 100% more fishpeople
Developer Gaslamp Games has released the December update for its steampunk colony management sim Clockwork Empires, and that means another round of brilliantly silly patch notes. My favourites this time include; "colonists will occasionally turn into fishpeople and run into the sea", and "FIXED: Listening to a sermon caused colonists' bodies to explode."
Life is not easy for colonists in this game. The new Naturalist role for your civilians, along with the new found additions of Laboratories and Scientists you can put to work studying weird artifacts, can lead to new discoveries as well as the aforementioned fish transformations.
Prison Architect Alpha 28 released with video, features 'moving toilet' scripting
The latest alpha release for Introversion Software's Prison Architect has gone live, taking the early access sim to Alpha 28. A new video is up highlighting the latest changes to UI and mod scripting.
There's been some UI streamlining though there's much more to do, and the game's script has been altered to help modders cut down on unseemly messes in their code, thanks to moving toilets.

Space Hulk: Ascension adds a new chapter and a new story campaign with the Imperial Fists Expansion
It's always the Ultramarines, isn't it? Those self-important blue sods get all the credit and acclaim, and the poor old Imperial Fists have to wander around the Warhammer 40K universe, tidying up after orks and tyranids and getting absolutely no credit for it.
Well not longer. Indie developer Full Control has announced the first new content pack for its reworked board game adaptation Space Hulk: Ascension, the Imperial Fists Expansion. Can you guess what's in it?
Enhanced version of classic action adventure Outlast makes surprising appearance on Steam
Fans of the incredibly ambitious 1999 action adventure Outcast had their hearts broken earlier this year, when a Kickstarter campaign for an HD remake of the game failed to meet its goal.
But all is not lost! An enhanced version of the original titled Outlast 1.1 has popped up on Steam today out of nowhere. It's not quite the total remaster that the Kickstarter was set up for, but it does add a few new bells and whistles, and configures the game to run smoothly on modern PCs.

StemCells, Inc.'s Spinal Cord Injury Trial Approved By Health Canada
NEWARK, Calif., June 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StemCells, Inc. (Nasdaq:STEM) today announced that Health Canada has authorized the Company to expand its Phase I/II clinical trial for chronic spinal cord injury into Canada. The Phase I/II trial, currently underway in Zurich, Switzerland, is designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of the Company's proprietary HuCNS-SC® product candidate (purified human neural stem cells) as a treatment for chronic spinal cord injury. With this authorization from Health Canada, the Company is actively working to open one or more trial sites in Canada and begin screening patients.
"This should be very welcome news for spinal cord injury patients in North America," said Stephen Huhn, MD, FACS, FAAP, Vice President and Head of the CNS Program at StemCells, Inc. "One of the patients in our trial is a Canadian and he endured some challenging logistics to get to and from Switzerland. The addition of sites located in North America will significantly ease the burden on Canada- and US-based patients and their families who may wish to participate in our trial.
"In addition, given the excellent safety profile and encouraging results seen to date in the three patients with complete injury, we have amended the clinical protocol to allow continued enrolment of patients with complete injury in addition to patients with the less severe, or incomplete injury. We are confident that the amended protocol combined with the addition of North American trial sites will accelerate enrollment of patients with varying degrees of spinal cord injury."To date, four patients have been enrolled in the Company's Phase I/II trial and transplanted with HuCNS-SC cells. The first three patients had all suffered a complete injury to the thoracic (chest-level) spinal cord, classified as AIS A according to the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS). In a complete injury, there is no neurological function below the level of injury, and sensory function of all three patients was stable before transplantation of the HuCNS-SC cells. The first three patients completed the trial in December 2012 and data from these patients showed multi-segment gains in sensory function in two patients twelve months post-transplantation of the HuCNS-SC cells. One of these two patients converted from a complete injury classification to an incomplete injury, while the third patient remained stable. Unlike the first three patients, the fourth patient in the study had suffered an incomplete injury, classified as AIS B, because of preserved sensory function below the level of injury.

Forever immortalized for his role in helping the Red Sox to the World Series championship, Coco Crisp has been a hot topic this offseason before he settled on an unexpected return to the Athletics (Buster Olney is reporting it's a 2-year deal for $14 million). The question we must consider in the fantasy game is how heavily do we want to lean on an outfielder who is 32 years old who last appeared in 140 games during the 2007 season.
Let's start the analysis by focusing on the last line in the previous paragraph. Crisp hasn't been able to stay healthy in the recent past. Not only has it been five years since he's appeared in 140 games, it's actually much worse than that. Sure Crisp appeared in 136 games for the Athletics last season, but in the previous two seasons he appeared in 49 and 75 games. Moreover, over his last four seasons he's averaged just 95 games played per season or less than two thirds of a full season. To put that number into perspective the perpetually injured J.D. Drew has averaged 117 games played the past four years. Obviously you have to know that rostering Crisp comes with substantial risk because even if he performs well. He's not someone you can count on playing every day.
Crisp also isn't a very good hitter. The owner of a career .275 batting average, Crisp has failed to reach that level in four of the past six seasons. Given that his batting average is barely better than the league batting mark, it would be a great thing if he had a lot of power. However, he's got about as much power as an 18 year old prom queen. Crisp has a career best of 16 homers, though that was a lifetime ago in 2005. Since that point he's played six seasons and not a single time has he hit more than eight homers. Obviously it stands to reason that he's not much of a run producer either, and the record bears that out. Crisp hasn't had even 60 RBI in any of the last four seasons, and five times in the last six years he's failed to reach that total. Does he score a bushel of runs? Think again. Crisp has scored more than 80 runs twice, but the last time he did that was 2007, as injuries simply preclude him from being on the field enough to rack up the counting numbers. Over the past four years the fleet of foot outfielder has averaged a mere 51 runs scored per season. That's terrible. Crisp also owns a .330 OBP for his career, which is league average. The last time he posted an OBP of .350 was --- well never since his career best mark was .345 in 2005.
So Crisp is league average in batting average and OBP, is a terrible power hitter, rarely knocks runners in, and doesn't score as many runs as he should since he is always in an out of the lineup.
So why even other with him? It's all about the speed with Crisp as his wheels are the only thing that gives him any value in the fantasy game. Oddly, Crisp has become a more prolific base stealer as he has aged. From 2003-2009 Crisp stole at least 13 bags with a high of 28 thefts in 2007. However, he joined the A's and stared running like he was Ricky Henderson Jr.. Crisp stole 32 bags in just 75 games in 2010 before exploding for 49 thefts last year to lead the American League (he tied with Brett Gardner). There are a few reasons to be concerned about a repeat.
(1) Players just don't start running heavily while in their early 30's. It's extremely rare that a player continues to build his steal totals in his 30's.
(2) There is the health of Crisp to worry about. With his propensity to come down injured, it's tough to count on the steals piling up.
(3) He gets on base at a leave average rate. If he got on base more frequently he would obviously have a better chance to swipe a bag, but he doesn't so he has to run a good portion of the time that he reaches base.
(4) His owns history shows that from 2003-10 he averaged 21 steals a season. How he's jacked up that number to an average of 41 steals the last two seasons is somewhat of a mystery given his advancing age.
There's nothing wrong with drafting Crisp to add some speed to your club. If he can stay healthy there's a reasonable expectation that he'll swipe at least 25 bags. However, expecting 45 or even 35 could be asking too much from an injury prone an aging player. Given that he brings little else to the table other than steals, you'd be wise to avoid getting into a bidding war to obtain his services.

More on CPR Instruction
CPR certification classes often cost a small fee. Many places that offer local CPR instruction charge around $25 for the certification classes. These classes generally last between four and eight hours. The length of the class will be determined on the amount of instructions that you will be receiving. Most certification classes include instructions on adult CPR, CPR for children and infants, and other types of first aid for children. Pediatric first aid and CPR is good to know even if you do not have any children of your own. You may have nieces, nephews, cousins, or any other children who may need this vital medical attention someday. The child may even be stranger that you do not know. With so many different options for local CPR instruction it is easy to find one that is convenient for you. CPR certification is a requirement for many jobs. It is also helpful and useful in obtaining jobs that do not require it. Knowing CPR can also help you save the life of someone someday. It is always best to know how to perform CPR, and first aid, even if you never have to use it. Someday it could save someone else's life or even your own.

Computer science students attending seven US universities will be able to work with IBM's Watson cognitive-computing system in classes starting this fall. The participants, primarily seniors and graduate students, will access the supercomputer via the cloud and use it to develop cognitive computing applications, which could include an application for consumer shopping personalization, for one of several possible industries, such as retail, travel or healthcare. These cognitive-computing applications will be built on data students gather, which they will then use with Watson's existing knowledge base and its learning technologies, such as natural language processing and machine learning. This program is part of IBM's $1 billion investment in expanding Watson's profile. Participating schools will include New York University; the University of Michigan; Carnegie Mellon University; Ohio State University; Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; the University of Texas at Austin; and the University of California, Berkeley. (The Associated Press)(IBM)
Enrollment in US college computer science programs now appears to be increasing, according to preliminary findings by the Computing Research Association. The organization publishes an annual report on college computer science enrollment and graduation and released early findings, showing a 22 percent increase in bachelor's degree enrollment from 49,564 students in 2011-2012 to 60,453 in 2012-2013. The organization also reports that from 2012 to 2013, the number of doctoral degrees in computer science increased by 6.8 percent, although enrollment in PhD programs was down 1.2 percent. In the US, universities awarded 1,991 computer-science doctoral degrees, the highest number ever reported. The full 2013 Taulbee Report is scheduled for publication in the May 2014 issue of Computing Research News, which the organization publishes. (SD Times)(Computing Research Association)
Digital learning is increasingly the norm in classrooms across the US; however, many schools do not have the backbone capability that would allow classrooms to have sufficient data transmission or bandwidth. Foundations started by Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates contributed a combined $9 million to the nonprofit EducationSuperHighway, a San Francisco-based nonprofit designed to address connectivity issues. The US government has a goal of ensuring 99 percent of students have high-speed Internet connections within five years. Now, about 80 percent of schools in the US have connections that are too slow or are isolated with connections prone to crashing. It costs between $30,000 to $50,000 per school to install broadband, with additional costs associated with installing fiber optics into the school. What's driving the push? Lower cost of tablet computers and increased funding for digital learning, plus the advent of computer-based testing to meet Common Core academic standards. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, told the Associated Press the challenges run much deeper than having broadband access. Roughly half of American children live in poverty and many students don't have technology at home. (The Associated Press)(Tech Crunch)
