Cursor Mania Toolbar - how to remove this adware?
What is Cursor Mania?
The Cursor Mania browser add-on enhances users' Internet browsing experience by allowing modifications to the mouse cursor style. This browser extension is developed by Mindspark and similar to Zwinky toolbar and MyWebFace Toolbar. Note that users wishing to access Mindspark's website features have to install an associated toolbar. While these browser plug-ins are not related to virus or malware infections, they do change browser settings and cause redirects to home.mywebserach.com The Cursor Mania Toolbar is advertised by various online banner ads and it may also be bundled with free software downloaded from the Internet. If you feel that you have not willingly installed this browser add-on, it is likely that it was bundled with freeware that you have downloaded.
When installed, this extension changes your browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla FireFox) settings such that your homepage, default search engine, and each newly-opened tab redirects to the home.mywebsearch.com website. This redirect is applied for monetization - each user to click on the sponsored search results within the mywebsearch website generates revenue for the creators of Cursor Mania. To avoid installation of unwanted toolbars, and to keep your browser settings unchanged, computer users should closely inspect each installation window of free software or free browser extensions and opt-out of any proposed changes.
Freeware developers commonly bundle their free programs with browser extensions that cause redirect issues. Whilst Cursor Mania is not technically a virus or malware, it is classed as an unwanted application or adware.

Former college leader found dead after allegations of embezzlementFebruary 21,2013The former acting president of Southern Vermont College has killed himself after being accused of embezzling $400,000 from the school, police said Thursday.
Vermont State Police said James Beckwith was found dead in his home Wednesday by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Beckwith, the former chief financial officer and chief operating officer of the small liberal arts school, was accused of taking the money between October 2012 and January, depositing it into his personal account, and using $260,000 to pay down two mortgages on his South Londonderry home.
The U.S. Attorney's office said Thursday it filed a complaint alleging the home and account are forfeitable as proceeds of mail fraud and as property involved in money laundering.

3.0 out of 5 stars Incredible book, poor edition
As advertised, this is an incredibly good book - believe all the hype and purchase it immediately!
My one gripe is the format of the Kindle edition which is literally covered with typos e.g. 'Tf' for 'It', 'boh' for 'both' and quite frequently 'bum' or 'bumed' for 'burn' or 'burned'.
My suggestion, as this sort of poor quality production detracts...

A. Pieterse (London) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: A Game of Thrones (Reissue) (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) (Paperback)
I have just finally finished the last available book of A Song Of Ice And Fire and as this is one of the best series I have ever read, I thought I'd write a review and post it for potential future readers. Since I made the mistake of reading some of the reviews on here and unfortunately came across a massive spoiler which ruined a huge plot development for me at the end of A Dance With Dragons (book 5) pt2 I will try and make my review as succinct and spoiler-free as possible.
Book 1 - A Game Of Thrones
I would watch the television series to get yourself better acquainted with the characters. The book has been done more than justice in the TV series and at first read it's quite tedious to try and get to grips with the Houses of Westeros and all the political intricacies. A good book though, with the first of many OH MY GOD that didn't just happen moments at the end.
Book 2 - A Clash Of Kings
Read this on holiday and couldn't put it down. The "sh.. hit the fan" well and truly after book 1 and Westeros turns into a free for all. Epic writing by Martin and his disregard for characters continue. Expect the unexpected. Also, the TV series season 2 does not do the book justice in the same way as season 1. You'll want to read this book.
Book 3 - A Storm Of Swords
The first of Martin's books split into two in paperback (these are the versions I read). By far the best book of the series so far. I laughed, I cried, I threw my book on the floor of the bus cursing. Possibly one of my top 5 favourite books of all time simply because of the sheer brilliant writing and subsequent emotion it provoked.
Book 4 - A Feast For Crows
From one of the best books I've ever read to one of the worst. Be warned, this books makes for dreary reading and feels like another Book 1 in the middle of an already richly developed series. Tens of new characters and multiple new family lines get introduced and I found myself reading out loud in the manner of "blah blah blah get to the point" many times. However, these families end up playing a key role later, and there are a few gems in here as you will get the point of view of some characters which opens up a whole new dimension to the story. Stick through it, it will be worth it I promise.
Book 5 - A Dance with Dragons
Also split into two paperbacks, Martin returns to form with the 5th instalment and brings back the old characters we loved from books 1-3. Just remember not to love them too much; no one is safe under Martin's pen. No one. The book is not quite on the level of book 3, but absolutely brilliant compared to book 4 and actually a lot of the new stuff from 4 slots into the previously built storylines. The book builds up nicely towards the end where you'll have a few OH MY GOD moments yet again, but this time you will have no other book to order from Amazon to see what happens next. Not yet anyway.
On balance I would give the series 5 stars but because of book 4 I simply can't and it gets 4. Hopefully a review update after the 6th and 7th book it will all make sense and I will reconsider. That being said I realise and have made my peace with the fact that I will be much older by the time the 7th and final book is published and might not even remember how to write a review... Until such time I can only envy you, the person who is yet to embark on this journey. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and surprising,
Steven Baker "Reaper_FBB" (England) - See all my reviews
On my latest foray to buy some new fantasy, the till assistant suggested that I might like to try George R. R. Martin. I had seen his books before, but had never committed to reading them, but on this recommendation, I picked this book up for my summer holiday. Over 800 pages and less than 5 days later it was finished.
Although somewhat slow in starting, the storylines soon become engaging and you really do want to find out what happens next. The book also contains a large number of surprises and means that you're never really certain where each story will lead.
For me, the biggest surprise was in the unusual structure. As has been mentioned, each chapter is named after the character whose view it is written from. This is not something I have encountered before, but I enjoyed the format. It gave a nice insight into characters from all "sides" and allowed a good deal of depth to be included for them.
The book as a whole is almost three independent stories. Firstly, the "Game of Thrones" is the nickname of the power struggle between high-born families to influence or take the throne. As usual, we have the good (Starks, Tullys), the bad (Lannisters) and the undecided (Baratheon). This covers the majority of the book and has only an initial interaction to one of the other storylines,
The second storyline has minimal interaction with the first and follows a sworn brotherhood that forego all previous ties and become a new "family". They are sworn to defend the kingdom and man the vast wall that separates it from the wilds to the North.
The final storyline does not interact with the others and is only hinted at by the telling of rumours in the kingdom. It charts the progress of the barbarian race of the Dothraki and their uneasy alliance with the last of the Targaryens, the family that were all but destroyed in a battle with the current head of the kingdom.
As in most fantasy, there are apparent good and evil sides, but most of the characters have a certain ambiguity which results in them doing something that you would not normally expect. This ambiguity is a neat way to make you connect with characters from both sides in a way that you wouldn't usually do and although it may be a little uncomfortable, it also provides a better immersion for the reader.
Another surprise is that magic is scarcely involved. It is only hinted at in the first two storylines and is only fully in evidence at the end of the third; I suspect that this will become more prominent in the following books.
Non-human creatures are also in short supply, but again, I believe that they will play a larger part as the series progresses.
To close, I would like to mention that there are a couple of plot twists that left me open-mouthed, a fact that I found most satisfying (after I'd recovered:-). Also, there are a couple of particularly grisly deaths and this combined with some of the more mature language and themes, indicate that this has been targeted at an adult audience.
I have tried to avoid any plot details since the impact of the book comes from not knowing what is going to happen next. it has introduced all the storylines and got them to a point where they are all about to explode into action. If you fancy something a little more complex and with a definite adult bias, this could very well be the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Melancholic fantasy,
J.Yasimoto (Essex) - See all my reviews
I bought this book on the strength of previous reviews and am pleased to say I was not disappointed. As has been stated, GRRM's style is one of multiple viewpoints (initially confusing although by the middle of the book you know who's who, and in which 'house' they belong), within a continuous time thread. The writing is dark, gritty, and melancholic.
This isn't a 'quest' book; more of a history. And a realistic one at that. Although there is a complete lack of elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins etc, this book should be classed as high fantasy. Dragons, monsters, and magic exist in this world but they are relegated to the background. Nine tenths of this book deals in the down to earth machinations of the various courts. Heroes and villains do not exist. Everyone is painted in shades of grey. (Some greyer than others).
In the last 20 years there have been two books that completely blew me away. The first was Magician by Raymond E Feist, the second was Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb. A Game of Thrones is the third. If you enjoyed either of the first two you will surely enjoy this.
Having read the rest of the books in the Song of Fire and Ice sequence, I can reassure you the standards set by A Game of Thrones are maintained.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the kids,
Fad (London UK) - See all my reviews
Suffice to say, from the top marks I'm awarding this book (and the whole series thus far) I found it to be an excellent read. No, that's insufficient, this is not only the best written Fantasy series (by far surpassing Tolkien in my opinion) I've read, it's almost certainly the most enjoyable book of ANY kind.
The writing style is intelligent and treats the reader accordingly, which is a refreshing change in the Fantasy genre, and the sheer bloody-mindedness of the plot subverts every preconception the reader may have while maintaining the traditional escapist elements familiar from 'lesser' works. The world of Fire and Ice is so fully realised it's hard to keep track of the history and vast array of characters but Martin guides you through it effortlessly and seems to have known from the first line exactly what is going to happen in every subsequent paragraph. His attention to detail is almost scary. The series also (incredibly) manages to improve with subsequent readings as the reader gets to grips with the innumerable plot developments and realises that the most unexpected of events was probably sign-posted ten chapters back.
One note of caution to prospective buyers however is that despite it's Fantasy trappings this is NOT a series suitable for children. Mr Martin does not shy away from explicit descriptions of horrific violence and sex and the language is frequently of the four-letter variety. Equally disturbing is the brilliant realisation of the multitude of characters in these books where the 'Heroes' prove capable of horrendous atrocities and the 'Villains' sometimes act with compassion and honour. And these characters can DIE; If a situation looks likely to be fatal, chances are it will be, which is almost unique in an on-going series and means every violent encounter is almost excrutiatingly tense.
So, not for the faint-hearted but certainly a series that sets entirely new standards for fiction, Fantasy or otherwise.

3.0 out of 5 stars Incredible book, poor edition,
This review is from: A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
As advertised, this is an incredibly good book - believe all the hype and purchase it immediately!
My one gripe is the format of the Kindle edition which is literally covered with typos e.g. 'Tf' for 'It', 'boh' for 'both' and quite frequently 'bum' or 'bumed' for 'burn' or 'burned'.
My suggestion, as this sort of poor quality production detracts from George Martin's text, is to purchase the hardcopy and forego the Kindle. You'll likely be pleased, as I imagine (in the hardcopy) that candles won't be 'buming' anything.

5.0 out of 5 stars It will pull you into the Seven Kingdoms and you wont want to leave,
Sarah Hooper "Sarah" (Milton Keynes, England) - See all my reviews
I started reading these books on a recommendation from a friend. To be honest I hardly read books anymore, I never really found the time. But almost as soon as I started AGOT I was hooked and made time.
George R. R. Martin opens you up to a vast new world he has created with amazing characters that you will grow to love and hate (and even learn to love the ones you first hated). His in-depth analysis of the main characters is staggering and he takes you places other fantasy authors don't tread.
The next books in the story build upon the characters, and bring more into the fold. It's such an immense series that GRRM has needed 70 pages of appendix to mention just the major households (70 pages as of A Feast For Crows, it's a little shorter in A Game Of Thrones). It's a wonder how he keeps track of them all.
I throughly enjoyed reading this book and the others in the series so far. I would recommend them to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars the most realistic fantasy ever, more like something from the dark ages!,
Sapphire fox (Wales) - See all my reviews
If you want fairies, elves, dwarfs and goblins turn away and flee from this saga! This is a gritty,dark and very deep story not for the light hearted. expect violence, sex and death. I know it doen't sound great but the storyline is excellent with plenty of twists and the characters could be real people from older times. Some parts are so upsetting you might cry, this author has a fettish for killing off characters. A good read though with knights and castles and a little bit of dragons. a worthy but gritty read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Ice and Fire, 5***** A must read,
Mrs. D. Guest (UK) - See all my reviews
After I read the first three books of a Song of Ice and Fire, I had to face two serious problems:
1. Martin sets new standards in fantasy books and very few authors can stand the comparison. I thought that Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, the Wheel of Time or Serpentwar Saga were great series; after the Song of Ice and Fire I am starting to doubt even the Shannara series, which I used to love. While most authors tend to repeat certain stereotypes (young adventurers, noble heroes, evil opponents, great quests) Martin brings a completely fresh look to fantasy literature, and he sure knows how to write!
2. Point 1 made, for a while I didn't know what was I supposed to read until the next Martin book (or after the entire series is over). It is really hard to return to good old traditional fantasy after that! I even started reading more classic literature again (which I had put aside for a while) as I could not find anything in fantasy books comparable to Martin...
I really hardly ever praise any writer, but these books were a revelation. If you are after an easy to read fantasy story, strictly for kids in their early teens, where the poor and kind young servant is about to find out he is in fact the long lost king, who must begin a quest for the magic sword in order to save the world from the evil forces (aided by the old and wise magician and finding along the way a few brave companions and a pretty and noble girl), then this is not a book for you ! If you can't stand any more stereotypes, then this is an absolutely fascinating story with a unique plot, where nobody is really pure evil or a true angel, people have realistic reasons for their actions and do not begin quests because an old man told them to, anybody can get hurt or even die, and there are no kitchen boys with big secrets !

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning,
Forget Jordan, give up on Goodkind. This series is absolutely amazing, everything you want from a fantasy series. The characters are so real, you laugh and cry with them. Martin isn't afraid to kill off central characters either, so you anxiously anticipate who is going to survive each plot turn, which gives an edge to the writing that Eddings, Goodkind and Jordan et al could well learn a lesson from. Bloody, sexual, uncompromising, and realistic, I've just read the first four books of the series back to back over the space of a week - I've done no housework, or shopping, my daily papers for the last week are sitting in an unread pile and the kids are unwashed and feeling neglected. Yes, it is that good. And the best thing of all about it is that the story is planned over six books, book 5 out in April, so there is an end in sight unlike some long-running series' I could mention, and I know when I've read the last book I will mourn for the end of the best fantasy world out there to date.
Buy the books, get in the Pot Noodles, take the phone off the hook and send the kids away for a week. Really.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sadly didn't actually make it to the end..,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
Was really looking forward to reading this, but I have to admit I stopped and started with it about 3 or 4 times... got approx. 50% of the way through and then finally called it quits. I just couldn't seem to get into the story, I think because there was just too many of them all going on at the same time, switching from here to there, one lot of characters to another - it was just too much for me to keep up with. So many long names of families and kings and quenns of here and there and children and cousins , I often couldn't remember who was who and would try skip back on my kindle to remind myself and couldnt find the page... It was an effort to read and not a very enjoyable story for me up to the point I got to anyway...
So many people have raved about how good a book it is I'm really dissapointed I got so bored with it and couldn't even read until the end... I never half reads books ever! Perhaps I'll try again sometime ..

Maricopa County's economy is recovering, but at an anemic pace, economist Elliott D. Pollack said Monday.
"There is a boom for Arizona out there somewhere," Pollack told the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. "But not in 2011, 2012 or 2013."
Pollack said a robust economy cannot return to Arizona until the inventory of empty housing units is depleted - and that probably won't occur before 2015. Pollack said the current excess supply of housing units in the Valley is about 50,000 units, down from 80,000 units, but still too high to get construction started again.
Over the last 12 months, the Valley's economy expanded by 38,700 jobs. That is a weak recovery by historic standards, but since the county has shed nearly 250,000 jobs in the previous three years, it is a positive sign, Pollack said.

Pacers' dancing kid Will Marquardt, of Fishers, up for NBA OMG Social Media Award
8-year-old's video went viral
INDIANAPOLIS - A young Pacers fan with some killer dances moves has caught the attention of the NBA.
Video of Will Marquardt, 8, of Fishers, dancing to Run-D.M.C.'s "It's Tricky" during a timeout at a January home game quickly went viral, with the young fan showing off some serious moves.
Now Marquardt's performance has been nominated for an NBA Social Media Award in the OMG category.
He's up against some pretty stiff competition, including the Miami Heat's take on the "Harlem Shake," a Minnesota Timberwolves player shaving his head for breast cancer awareness and a Detroit Pistons' player making a long shot over a double-decker bus.

I am developing a product that uses the Server Expiration model for caching. I was looking for information on how well this feature is implemented, and if there was any measurement of cache hits/misses when this header is present. Does the Apache, Netscape and IIS servers send Expires headers, and do content providers use it extensively? Also, do intermediate Cache Proxy servers implement the TRACE header to record their intermediate domain name addresses on the headers that they process? Thanks very much for this information. -venkatReceived on Wednesday, 30 October 1996 19:29:32 EST

Steve Jobs reportedly threatened Palm over anti-poaching agreement
Documents released in a civil lawsuit against Apple and other high-profile tech companies claim Steve Jobs threatened to sue Palm if it refused to sign an anti-poaching agreement. Defendants in the lawsuit asked the court to keep these documents sealed, but Judge Lucy Koh denied this request, according to Reuters.
The civil suit focuses on anti-poaching agreements signed by Adobe, Apple, Google, Intel, Intuit and Pixar. The agreements would prevent these companies from stealing talented employees from each other. The DOJ eventually stepped in and forced the companies to stop entering into these anticompetitive no solicitation agreements.
Former Palm CEO Edward Colligan said in an affidavit that the Jobs tried to coerce Palm into participating in an anti-poaching agreement after the company hired a handful of Apple employees.
"As a solution, Mr. Jobs proposed an arrangement between Palm and Apple by which neither company would hire the other's employees, including high-tech employees," Colligan said. "Mr. Jobs also suggested that if Palm did not agree to such an arrangement, Palm could face lawsuits alleging infringement of Apple's many patents."
Colligan provided copies of emails sent between himself and Jobs to support this accusation.
Tim Cook is slated to give a deposition on this matter, and other high-ranking executives from Google and Intel are also expected to be questioned in the next few weeks.

I was reading a post over at Small Notebook, one of my favorite places for excellent writing, photography, and style. The author asked, "Have you made any changes that you would have never tried before?", in relation to environmentally-friendly activities.
Here's a list of things that I do, that I do for financial or aesthetic reasons, but inadvertently help the environment:
It's taken a while to whittle down a lot of our extraneous spending, but we have found that certain hobbies get a much bigger bang for their buck. Gardening has some upfront costs, but assuming a fairly successful year, should pay for itself over the summer and fall. Either way, it leads to hours spent outside rather than in, with a greater appreciation for what goes in to growing our food.
Where do I draw the line? I don't really. I don't have a big idealogical hold-up on financial or green moves. If someone wants to use family cloth or sew their own clothes out of recycled flour bags, that's fine by me. If somebody wants to save money by sitting in the dark or going to bed early, fine too. We have found that 90% of the frugal tips one can follow really don't have much of an impact on quality of life, other than improving it through better savings. We wouldn't have found that if we were constantly listing things we would *never* do. Amy Dacyczyn of The Tightwad Gazette refers to "selective squeamishness", and I think she's right that if we were honest, we would realize that we do a lot of things that are inconsistent with our allegedly delicate sensibilities. The same people who would never wear used clothes, will try on outfits in the store, which haven't even been washed between people trying them on. I'll try almost anything once, and I'm usually surprised how inoffensive the "cheap" way is. Sometimes I scrap an idea, but usually I'll try it before I knock it.


text: This Is Your Brain On Sugar: Study in Rats Shows High-Fructose Diet Damages Learning and Memory. If you're the type of person that studies the ingredients list on food packaging, you may have noticed "glucose-fructose syrup" slowly replace conventional sugar. It's now in a huge number of process products. The reason for this transformation remains a mystery, with only cursory mentions of vapid terms such as "cost effective" from the manufacturers. More importantly, what's this stuff doing to our bodies? Alarmingly, a new academic study in the May 15 peer-reviewed Journal of Physiology shows how a diet steadily high in fructose acts to slow the brain and hampering memory and learning. "Our findings illustrate that what you eat affects how you think," said Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a professor of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a professor of integrative biology and physiology in the UCLA College of Letters and Science. "Eating a high-fructose diet over the long term alters your brain's ability to learn and remember information. While earlier research has revealed how fructose harms the body through its role in diabetes, obesity and fatty liver, this study is the first to uncover how the sweetener influences the brain. The UCLA team zeroed in on high-fructose corn syrup, an inexpensive liquid six times sweeter than cane sugar, that is commonly added to processed foods, including soft drinks and baby food. "We're not talking about naturally occurring fructose in fruits, which also contain important antioxidants," explains Gomez-Pinilla, who is also a member of UCLA's Brain Research Institute and Brain Injury Research Center. "We're concerned about high-fructose corn syrup that is added to manufactured food products as a sweetener and preservative." Gomez-Pinilla and study co-author Rahul Agrawal, studied two groups of rats that each consumed a fructose solution as drinking water for six weeks (poor old rats :( ). The second group also received omega-3 fatty acids in the form of flaxseed oil and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which protects against damage to the synapses -- the chemical connections between brain cells that enable memory and learning. "DHA is essential for synaptic function -- brain cells' ability to transmit signals to one another," Gomez-Pinilla said. "This is the mechanism that makes learning and memory possible. Our bodies can't produce enough DHA, so it must be supplemented through our diet." The animals were fed standard rat food and trained on a maze twice daily for five days before starting the experimental diet. The UCLA team tested how well the rats were able to navigate the maze, which contained numerous holes but only one exit. After six weeks, the researchers tested the rats' ability to recall the route and escape the maze. What they saw surprised them. "The second group of rats navigated the maze much faster than the rats that did not receive omega-3 fatty acids," Gomez-Pinilla said. "The DHA-deprived animals were slower, and their brains showed a decline in synaptic activity. Their brain cells had trouble signaling each other, disrupting the rats' ability to think clearly and recall the route they'd learned six weeks earlier." The DHA-deprived rats also developed signs of resistance to insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar and regulates synaptic function in the brain. A closer look at the rats' brain tissue suggested that insulin had lost much of its power to influence the brain cells. "Because insulin can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, the hormone may signal neurons to trigger reactions that disrupt learning and cause memory loss," Gomez-Pinilla said. He suspects that fructose is the culprit behind the DHA-deficient rats' brain dysfunction. Eating too much fructose could block insulin's ability to regulate how cells use and store sugar for the energy required for processing thoughts and emotions. "Insulin is important in the body for controlling blood sugar, but it may play a different role in the brain, where insulin appears to disturb memory and learning," he said. "Our study shows that a high-fructose diet harms the brain as well as the body. This is something new." These results are striking, but one question remains - why is this junk making it's way into our foods? Is profit really that important?

Dave from J&S Auto Salvage is a super guy! We were stuck with car trouble on I-75 around Flint and Dave came to our rescue. He went out of his way to go get us a battery and an alternator, replaced them and asked for absolutely NOTHING in return. We couldn't force him to take any money. He is a good, kind hearted man and should be totally recognized as a super guy!!

One of the critiques often hurled at electronic music (usually from an individual of the guitar-bass-drums persuasion) is the performers "aren't doin' anything." This is sometimes a valid charge. Are you really trying to tell us (in between smashing people in the face with cake and washing it off with a water cannon loaded with champagne like some kind of Caligula-Gallagher Megazord) that Steve Aoki is doing anything other than combing Pinterest for Hipstamatic pictures of fur coats? Why do you think Avicii brought Madonna out at Ultra Music Festival last year? Answer: The Material Mom is a Minesweeper world champ and the techno meatball wunderkind was trying to set a new record (on that particular laptop). But Araabmuzik, "MVP of the MPC," has the rare virtuosity that can transform equipment into instruments. And though "MPC" might sound like the name of a new Terminator cyborg, it's actually the primary tool employed by the Providence-based producer to totally kick out the post-bass electronica jams, sourcing everything from popular forms such as electro and dubstep to more niche genres like Chicago's post-ghetto tech-juke wave. This dude is definitely doin' something.

Welcome to GamesRadar's daily blast of all things pertaining to the ever-growing field of game music. Each post will introduce new sounds, games, composers and fan-made remixes of gaming's greatest aural achievements.
Game: Ar Tonelico
Song: Singing Hill
Composer: Akiko Shikata, Gust Sound Team
Above: Singing Hill from Ar Tonelico
In the world of Ar Tonelico, singing is the most powerful form of magic. Musicality is a major theme of the series, so it's no surprise that that Ar Tonelico has an absolutely top-notch soundtrack. A synthetic race created to maintain the precarious technology of the floating world, magical girls called Reyvateils can harness powerful song magic when they become emotionally bonded to a human companion.
Since singing is so important to the storyline of Ar Tonelico, we had to pick the opening theme, Singing Hill, which features awesome Reyvateil vocals in both Japanese and Hymnos, a fictional language constructed for Ar Tonelico by Akira Tsuchiya. Hymnos puts a lot of emphasis on emotion, and has two different writing systems associated with it. It's a suprisingly complex and detailed language for a game, and linguistics enthusiasts can go here for a detailed description of the Hymnos language.
Besides the awesome vocal tracks, the rest of Ar Tonelico's soundtrack is strong too. Here's an energetic track called Vidarr to get you pumped for battle:

Players get placed on waivers all the time late in the year. After the trade deadline passes at the end of July, players can still be dealt, but instead of it being a sure thing, there are a lot more hoops to jump through in order for a player to switch squads. In essence, here's what happens.
(1) A player is exposed to waivers.
(2) Teams have the chance to claim the player in order of their record from worst to best.
(3) Once a team claims a player they have a 48 hours to work out a deal.
(4) If a deal is not worked out, then the player stays on his current team and can be "pulled back" from waivers with no penalty. If that player is put on waivers yet again, he cannot be pulled back a second time.
(5) If a player passes through waivers with no team putting in a claim, then that player can freely be traded to any team in the league.
For more on the process see Jayson Stark's explanation.
Though waiver claims are private, the information always leaks out. Current claims would appear to be in place for the following players.
Heath Bell: Claimed by the Giants The Giants have Sergio Romo and Brian Wilson on the DL. The team has expressed optimism that both arms will be fine in short order (Romo could even return by the end of the week), but this move suggests otherwise. Still, it should be pointed out that teams often put in claims on players to "block" that player from going to another team. The Giants could merely have claimed Bell with no intention of working out a deal for him just so teams with better records than them (i.e. the Diamondbacks) wouldn't have the chance to claim Bell. It could also mean that there is serious concern about the condition of Wilson's elbow.
Jason Kubel: Unknown Claim Kubel has appeared in only 80 game because of injury but that hasn't diminished his on field work that sees his current "pace" as .290-18-90 over 160 games. Kubel has hit only .252 over his last 103 at-bats, but he would bring a strong bat to the outfield of a contending team. He's even hit lefties well with year with a .829 OPS, a shockingly impressive number for a guy who owns a .692 OPS against left handers in his career.
Carlos Pena: Unknown Claim In each of the past four years Pena has hit 28 homers with 84 RBIs. This season he has 23 homers and 67 RBI. However, he's also hitting .223 this year, though that isn't at all unexpected given his batting average numbers the past three years (.247, .227 and .196). He has the power to hit it out of any yard, and he knows how to take a walk which has led to a career .350 OBP, a rather impressive number for a guy who has hit .239 in more than 4,000 at-bats.
Wandy Rodriguez: Claimed by the Rockies The Astros might be willing to move Wandy given that he is owed $37 million the next three years, but they are going to have to get some talent back for him (i.e. this isn't being viewed as a pure salary dump move). The Rockies could certainly use a big league read arm like Wandy's to take up the space vacated by the deal that sent Ubaldo Jimenez out of town.
Jim Thome: Unknown Claim The perfect wavier-wire claim type, Thome would likely be moved into a reserve role with a contending team which would greatly diminish his fantasy value. Still, as he has shown of late, the guy can still hit as he's batting .290 with six homers, 21 RBI an a .947 OPS over his last 29 games.

#OpUSA threatens U.S. banks, government: Attacks expected from May 7thSubmitted by Bob-45 on Wed, 05/08/2013 - 11:13
Tracy Kitten
Bank Info Security
Thu, 02 May 2013 17:16 CDT
Security experts say that OperationUSA, a coordinated online attack against banking and government websites slated for May 7, is a serious threat. As a result, organizations should be upping their distributed-denial-of-service attack mitigation strategies to guard against the attacks, which are being coordinated by the hacktivist group Anonymous.
Experts advise that call-center staff should be educated about DDoS attacks, in case customers call in about online outages or experience difficulty accessing accounts. And network and security teams should actively monitor Internet traffic on May 7 and take steps to block specific IP addresses.
Anonymous has said the attacks are being waged because of perceived social and political injustices. In an April 21 Pastebin post, it states: "Anonymous will make sure that this May 7th will be a day to remember. On that day Anonymous will start phase one of operation USA. America, you have committed multiple war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and recently you have committed war crimes in your own country."

December 20, 2014
Wednesday Oct. 22, 2008
ATLANTA – Georgia Tech senior D'Andre Bell will miss the 2008-09 season due to a congenital condition known as spinal stenosis, head coach Paul Hewitt announced Wednesday.
The 6-6 guard from Los Angeles, Calif., discovered the condition after he hit his head on a teammate's leg diving for a loose ball during a conditioning workout on Oct. 10, and felt numbness in his extremities. Tuesday, Bell was examined by Dr. John Heller, a world-renowned spine surgeon at the Emory Orthopedic and Spine Center, and was told at that time he would not be able to continue to play basketball.
The stenosis is located in the cervical portion of Bell's spine. Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord. Bell, who played in all 32 games last year and earned a reputation as a stout defender for the Yellow Jackets, will need surgery to correct the problem. The timetable for that has yet to be determined.
"It hurts not to be able to play," said Bell, who would have been the team's captain this season. "But I know God has a plan for me, and I need to do what is best for my future. My focus now will be on making sure I do what I need to do academically to finish up in the spring. I have to have the surgery whether I want to play again or not, so I probably will do that during winter break."
Dr. John Xerogeanes, Georgia Tech's team orthopedist, said, "It's necessary for his quality of life, whether he plays basketball again or not, to have the surgery."
A Management major, Bell is on track to graduate in four years in May. He averaged 6.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game last year, and has played in 88 games in three seasons for the Yellow Jackets.
