7 Game Franchises They Drove Into the Ground 275

Wing Commander and WC2 were the best of the series. I was less a fan of the "interactive movie" WC3 and WC4. Privateer was also excellent.
I still fire up wc2 in DOSBOX every so often!
By Generals, you meant Renegade, right? Generals restored my faith in the C&C franchise after playing Renegade. Even the behind-the-scenes videos that come with C&C: The First Decade barely mention renegade.
Generals is an RTS game that some people considered a problem. While I did have preconceptions of the game being bad, that was based on the pattern:
Both Tom Clancy games were completely dumbed down, they basically took out all the stuff that made them different from the countless FPS titles. All the tactical elements are gone and so are most of the squadmates (only 2 instead of 7 in R6), not to mention that the friendlies are now ressurectable! If they called the R6 game "Gears of War: Vegas" I'd give it around 80%, but as it is I consider it
Those were the days... Gabriel Night, Police Quest, Kings Quest, Goblins Quest, etc. Sadly no one makes creative games like the original Gabriel Night anymore.Graphical Adventure Series...
EVE Online is as close as you can get to Privateer Online.
there's a reason for this. Silent hill 4 was originally another game that was rebranded at the last minute as a silent hill title, with some references to earlier titles sprinkled in. On it's own, it's a good game, but seems oddly out of place after playing silent hill 1-3.Enjoyed 1 through 3, but something happened in 4. They did something to the control scheme that made it very frustrating.
Naw, Ultima died because every time technology advanced in capability by a factor of 2, Richard Garriot's ambitions increased by a factor of 5. In the end we were left with a tech demo.Ultima - Died thanks to EA who could'nt do anything right with it
then they killed off the old server infrastructure making playing the original mod (non-valve IP) impossible.
No, they just killed the Internet portion. You can still use the legacy versions by running in insecure mode and connecting directly to the server's IP address.
I tried to play CS:S the other night on one of the varible pricing servers (were prices fluctuate due to demand) and it was quite frustrating.. how do I make my choices of what gun to buy when i have no idea how much it costs in relation to o
I'll join the Wing Commander chorus here. Blasting Kilrathi in the later years just wasn't what it was in the beginning... there's only so many times you can be called a "hairless ape" before you get desensitized to it. And you'd think after a single human pilot wipes out 10,000 of their fighters and a couple of hundred of their capital ships they'd know better than to kill his woman or attack his homeworld.
I'd also like to toss out Mechwarrior (downhill after 2) and Gunship (2000 was outstanding, Gun

Hi, my name is Ro, welcome to my blog, Behind the Pantry Door . Working full time and taking care of a family as you know is not easy. I was determined to show everyone I could do it all. Put in a 40 plus hour work week, keep the house spotless and give my family a home cooked meal every night (except Friday, that was pizza night). I wasn't the best of cooks, but I always tried to put a hot meal on the table each night. Most times it was semi-homemade, but it wasn't fast food.
One day, I finally got up enough courage to try one of the recipes that I had seen on the Food Network. Well, you guessed it, I was hooked. I actually made an awesome meal from scratch that not only looked beautiful, but was delicious. That was the start of my cooking addiction and I couldn't stop. I hope this blog encourages you to take a peek at what's behind the pantry door. You never know what's cooking. Who knows…there may be a gourmet meal lurking behind your pantry door too? You just don't know it yet! - Ro Behind the Pantry Door |

Election: The take-away from Mitt Romney's defeat is that bare-knuckles campaigning and nonstop attack ads work — a tough lesson for Republicans who don't like to street fight.
President Obama and his campaign strategists did an impressive tactical job of demonizing Romney in the key battleground states they needed to narrowly win reelection.
Their relentless propaganda campaign portraying Romney as a rapacious, venal plutocrat proved more powerful than we thought. Romney let them define him early in the campaign and the negative image stuck.
Exit polls showed most voters thought Romney would help only the rich, and roughly half still blamed the bad economy on Republicans.
The president ran a superior, if historically negative, campaign. We hardly condone his brand of divide-and-conquer identity politics and class warfare. But give credit where credit is due.
Obama's strategy of going after Romney and Bain Capital was classic Saul Alinsky, the Chicago father of community organizing — "pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it." And it worked.
As Alinsky also advised, Obama created "disenchantment" among certain demographic groups. Then he picked them off one by one, giving them all reason to doubt, even hate, Romney and vote for him instead — in spite of his lousy economic record and job approval.
The hardball tactics helped him punch through a shocking victory. And Romney barely punched back; when he did, it wasn't hard enough.
Yes, he landed some good shots against Obama in the first debate, even exposing a glass chin no one knew the president had. But then he pulled his punches in the final debates. The challenger had his foe on the ropes, and he failed to deliver the haymaker on Benghazi.
At that point, Romney started to lose momentum, and the momentum stopped cold after Sandy struck. The "good and decent" Republican unilaterally disarmed, pulling down his political ads in key swing states along the Eastern Seaboard out of respect for storm victims.
Noble as it was, it was a tactical error. While Romney went radio silent, Obama got free airtime announcing disaster pork and "looking presidential" in those same states. Meanwhile, his super-PACs flooded the Ohio and Pennsylvania markets with anti-Bain attack ads.
As is typically the case with Republicans, Romney played by Marquess of Queensbury rules, while Democrats played by Alinsky's smash-mouth "Rules for Radicals." "In a fight, almost anything goes," he counseled.
Obama's superior ground game, from Cleveland to Miami, also was a product of his Alinsky training. He put an army of "young field organizers" through Alinsky training camps in Chicago, and sent them into the barrios and inner cities and onto college campuses to register and call and even drive voters to the polls.
Now the president will use them to push through the rest of his radical agenda by demagoguing congressional Republicans as "obstructionists," who favor the rich over "the middle class." In his victory speech, he told them that reelecting him "doesn't mean your work is done," that he would deploy them to "keep fighting" — this time against House Speaker John Boehner.
It was disconcerting to watch Congress cheer wildly as a foreign leader, the prime minister of one of America's closest allies, trashed an American president's foreign policy. It was equally strange that the speaker of our House of Representatives interjected the United States Congress into an ...
'Americans are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus," wrote Robert Kagan in "Of Paradise and Power," published in 2003, just as the U.S. went into Iraq. Americans, he said, see "an anarchic Hobbesian world," where security and a liberal order depend on military might, while Europe is moving ...

"Booster seats are becoming the social norm."
Suzanne Hill
"In 1999 ... booster seats were used by only 5 percent of 4- to 8-year-olds. By the middle of last year, that figure stood at just over 30 percent. That is great news. But there remains much room for improvement."
Dr. Dennis Durbin

Bill Simmons
"Rawlins, Carbon County, Wyoming and The Daily Times have lost a faithful, caring, passionate booster."

Jeffrey Dahmer
On November 28, 1994, convicted serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer is beaten to death by a fellow inmate while performing cleaning duty in a bathroom at the Columbia Correctional Institute gymnasium in Portage, Wisconsin. During a 13-year period, Dahmer, who lived primarily in the Midwest, murdered at least 17 men.
SAN JOSE -- He's not even old enough for a learner's permit. But in the eyes of the law, his alleged crimes have made him a full-grown man with all of the consequences that bears.
Adonis Muldrow, just 15 years and five months old, will be tried as an adult on charges he was one of two people responsible for a Nov. 16 crime spree that killed a Campbell man and ambushed and wounded a San Jose police officer, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office announced Tuesday.
Muldrow, a San Jose resident currently being held in Juvenile Hall, is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon on charges of murder with special circumstances, attempted murder of a peace officer, four counts of second-degree robbery, assault with a firearm on an officer and receiving a stolen vehicle. His alleged partner, 26-year-old Jonathan Dawson Wilbanks of San Jose, was arraigned last week but did not enter a plea to the same litany of offenses.
Self-confessed teenage psycho-killer Austin Reed Sigg has another hearing today, as justice for Jessica Ridgeway begins to clumsily meander through the criminal court system like a drunk on a binge.
Gag orders issued by the judge, though standard practice of late, aren't helping much, either. Because of that restriction, both the prosecution and defense remain mum on exactly what to expect from today's proceedings or where the case is ultimately headed, and when it might get there.
The matter, crystal clear when the youth was first apprehended, is becoming murky already, as measures are taken to push it off the public's radar so the jury pool doesn't get tainted.
Will Sigg cop a plea well before then and spare the county the expense of a dragged out trial, maybe cough up another victim or two in hopes of sweetening the deal? Or will the 17 criminal charges he faces be transferred to the juvenile court where he could expect to receive total privacy and far more lenient sentencing if convicted?
Ross McWhirter (right) with his twin brother Norris
On November 27, 1975, Ross McWhirter was assassinated by two IRA terrorists. He was shot outside of his home in north London. His killers Harry Duggan and Hugh Doherty, both of whom were members of what became known as the Balcombe Street Gang were captured and charged with his and nine other murders.
CULIACAN, Mexico (AP) — A 20-year-old state beauty queen died in a gun battle between soldiers and the alleged gang of drug traffickers she was traveling with in a scene befitting the hit movie "Miss Bala," or "Miss Bullet," about Mexico's not uncommon ties between narcos and beautiful pageant contestants.
The body of Maria Susana Flores Gamez was found Saturday lying near an assault rifle on a rural road in a mountainous area of the drug-plagued state of Sinaloa, the chief state prosecutor said Monday. It was unclear if she had used the weapon.
"She was with the gang of criminals, but we cannot say whether she participated in the shootout," state prosecutor Marco Antonio Higuera said. "That's what we're going to have to investigate."
The slender, 5-foot-7-inch brunette was voted the 2012 Woman of Sinaloa in a beauty pageant in February. In June, the model competed with other seven contestants for the more prestigious state beauty contest, Our Beauty Sinaloa, but didn't win. The Our Beauty state winners compete for the Miss Mexico title, whose holder represents the country in the international Miss Universe.

Piercings and injections/taking blood are entirely different. I get super nervous when I have to get an injection/give blood, but I'm usually super relaxed when getting a piercing. They feel totally different and piercings are way quicker.
Don't watch Youtube. I started doing that when I was getting my navel done, because I thought I'd be more calm if I knew what was going to happen, but most of the videos on Youtube are of something going wrong or badly filmed or it being done by a dodgy piercer.
To prepare yourself, make sure you have a good night's sleep, eat and drink lots of water before you go and don't be afraid to ask your piercer questions. Also, they'll most likely ask you to lie down, but if they don't, you can ask them, it can help you relax. Take long, deep breaths, try to relax as much as possible and think about how great the piercing will look afterwards!

Waukesha's public schools slip a bit, CMH doesn't in ACT test scores
Schools see an increase in participation
When it comes to ACT scores, the drive to 25 continues for Superintendent Todd Gray and the Waukesha School District, while Catholic Memorial has already surpassed that level.
Since coming to the district in 2008, Gray's goal has been to have the average ACT score increase to 25 for the college-prep test that includes English, math, reading and science.
The district, however, went in the wrong direction this past school year with an average composite score of 22.4, its lowest mark over the last five years. Its average score last year was 22.7.
It had an average score of 23.0 in 2009-10 but has dropped into the 22s over the last four years. The highest score possible on the test is 36.
Increased participation
Gray has said incorporating reading into all of the subject areas is a prime focus for the school district as it looks at improving standardized test scores.
Reading was the district's second highest average score at 22.7, but if the ACT tests are an indication as to the progress for high-school level students, more work is needed.
According to data provided by the Department of Public Instruction, the district's reading score equates to 52.8 percent in the "college ready" field — a drop from the 65.9 percent that were labeled in "the college ready" field five years ago.
Across the state, however, only about 50.2 percent of students are "college ready," a drop from 58.8 percent in 2009-10.
All three of the Waukesha public high schools saw drops in their average overall scores, but all had increased participating rates. As a whole, the district had 57.8 percent participation, a gradual increase over the last five years.
Waukesha West had the highest score at 23.2, with an 80.7 percent participation rate; North, 22.4 with a 66.2 participation rate; and South, 21.3 with an 82.3 percent participation rate.
South's average ACT score continued its steady decline in recent years. It had an average score of 22.7 in 2009-10 but has seen its score drop each year.
The percentage of students that are taking the test, however, has increased over that same period by almost 20 percent.
Both West and North have seen about a 10 percent increase in participation over the same period.
State comparisons
Gray took little consolation in the fact that Waukesha had a higher average score than the state (22.2, a mark that was second highest in the country) and national mark (21.0).
The district scored slightly above the state average on all four of the subjects tested.
West scored more than a point higher than the state average on all four of the subjects tested, with math and science its highest scores at 23.3. However, those scores were also both drops from last year.
North had higher than the state average in three of the four subjects tested with math just slightly below the state mark.
South was below the state average on all four of the subjects tested with English the lowest at 20.6.
"Although we have again exceeded the state average, we were disappointed by the slight drop in our district average score," Gray said.
However, Gray was more than pleased that the Waukesha Engineering Preparatory Academy, a charter school within the district, scored the highest average ACT score in the state at 27.1. Nine students were tested there.
CMH scores high
Catholic Memorial's composite ACT score, meanwhile, jumped from 24.6 in 2012-13 to 25.8 in 2013-14. CMH students averaged above a 25 in all of the subjects tested.
All CMH students take either the SAT or ACT tests, and all segments of students received an increase in composite scores, according to a news release from the school.
CMH's average score for its top 80 percent increased to 27.2, according to the release. The release also indicated that the average score for students who might not otherwise take the ACT was 20.3, a 2.6-point gain in three years.
"This accomplishment is an indicator of the exceptional efforts of our students, parents, faculty and staff," said CMH principal Robert Hall. "Over the past five years, our community has continued to intensify our efforts in helping all students grow academically and spiritually."

British experts to help identify Christchurch dead
A British taskforce of disaster victim identification (DVI) experts is due to arrive in New Zealand tomorrow to help identify the victims of the Christchurch earthquake.
With the death toll standing at 146, officials have only been able to name six of the dead due to the extent of the injuries sustained during the magnitude 6.3 disaster.
Two Britons are confirmed to be among the victims, with the number expected to rise in the coming days.
However, New Zealand authorities must formally identify them before their bodies can be repatriated, a Foreign Office source said. It is hoped this will take place early next week.
The British High Commission said the eight-strong DVI team, which includes a pathologist, odontologist, and finger print expert, will assist experts from New Zealand and Australia.
Two members of the taskforce will arrive in the South Island city tomorrow afternoon, before being joined by the rest of their colleagues later in the week.
Meanwhile, Commission spokesman Chris Harrington confirmed that two British nationals, a male tourist and woman who lives in Christchurch, are recovering in hospital with serious, but not life threatening injuries sustained in the tremor. Both are over 50.
A British woman has been discharged from hospital after suffering a suspected heart attack following the quake, added Mr Harrington.
Families of the 200 people still missing in Christchurch spent another agonising day without news, clinging to the hope of a miracle.
A multi-national team of more than 600 rescuers from New Zealand, the UK, the US, China, Taiwan, Japan, Mexico and Australia, continued scouring the city but recovered only bodies.
Among the British families waiting for news of their loved ones caught up in the disaster was 44-year-old Jo Morley. whose brother, Phil Coppeard, from Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, is among the missing Britons.
She was taking comfort from the miraculous tales of survival following the Haiti earthquake.
"Of course you still hope, as anybody would do," she said. "That's what we have to think."
Chartered accountant Mr Coppeard, 41, emigrated to the country in November with his wife, Suzanne Craig, and was doing a Masters in economics at the University of Canterbury.
He was travelling into town on a bus when the earthquake struck.
A British specialist rescue team arrived in the devastated city on Friday to help search for survivors among the flattened buildings.
Deployed after New Zealand accepted an offer of help from the British Government, they have been working among the ruins of the Pyne Gould Corporation building in the centre of the city, using acoustic listening devices to pick up any sound of life.
So far they have recovered three bodies from the wreckage, but remained optimistic in the hunt for survivors.
A spokesman for the group said: "At the moment they're working on the assumption that there may still be people alive in there, although it is several days on now.
"It's a very well-ordered operation and they've got the climate in their favour as it's not too hot or too cold, which means there's potential for people to be alive in there.
"As long as they've got access to water they could survive for up to 10 days. It looks like carnage but it does look like there may be voids in there where people may be able to survive."
High Commissioner to New Zealand Vicki Treadell said the UK was "only too willing to help" by sending teams to Christchurch.
"With New Zealand and Britain being such close friends, this is an opportunity to support and assist each other at this time of crisis," she added.
Christchurch Police Supt Russell Gibson said rescuers were not completely ruling out good news as the search.
"I talked to experts who say we've worked on buildings like this overseas and we get miracles. New Zealand deserves a few miracles," he said.
But families have also been warned to prepare for the "worst type of news", with New Zealand authorities admitting they expected the death toll "to steadily rise" over the coming days.
In Britain, the victims were commemorated with a minute's silence by players and fans before yesterday's Six Nations rugby clash between England and France at Twickenham.
British victim Gregory Tobin, 25, a chef, from Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, had been on a round-the-world trip and was believed to have been working temporarily at a garage in Christchurch when the devastation struck.
The identity of the other British victim, also male, has not been confirmed.
Prime minister John Key described the disaster as potentially being "New Zealand's single most tragic event".
He asked the country to observe two minutes' silence from 12.51pm on Tuesday, exactly one week after the earthquake, as a sign of unity for its victims.

"Weston has the biggest sound of any jazz pianist since Ellington and Monk as well as the richest, most inventive beat." —Jazz Critic Stanley Crouch
NEA Jazz Master Randy Weston, internationally renowned pianist, composer and bandleader, has performed throughout the world. Randy Weston returns to BMCC Tribeca PAC after a successful concert this past November celebrating the 50th Anniversary of his landmark album Uhuru Afrika.
James Reese Europe was an American ragtime and early jazz bandleader, arranger, and composer. In 1918, Lt. James Reese Europe made military and music history by being the first African American to lead troops into battle during World War One and to spread the 'jazz germ' throughout continental Europe. Mr. Europe obtained a Commission in the New York Army National Guard, where he saw combat as a lieutenant with the 369th Infantry Regiment (the "Harlem Hellfighters"), the band of which he directed to great acclaim. *

Sander Gilman seems to be everywhere. If not physically, then certainly textually. His staggeringly productive academic life is one led by questions. His intellectual work is framed not by final verdicts and closed cases, but by meaningful inquiry and heartily informed suggestions.In his 40-odd years of academic laboring and almost unprecedented publishing, he has dissected subjects ranging from Holocaust literature to biographical studies of Sigmund Freud and Franz Kafka, from Jewish culture to racial identity, from the history of smoking to the history of anti-Semitism, from German philosophy to the phenomena of Jewish intelligence and Jewish humor, from obesity to aesthetic surgery, to literature and medicine. This week, Gilman has been on a lecture tour throughout the country, principally speaking in Beersheba and Haifa, and participating in a study day for young scholars in Jerusalem.The "professor's professor" and practicing psychoanalyst, who taught at Cornell University for 26 years and later took posts at the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois at Chicago and Oxford University, settled most recently in Atlanta, Georgia, where he has created a program at Emory University called "health-science-humanities."As the title suggests, the program combines two of his special areas of concern, medicine and humanities, with an emphasis on literature and psychology. He is also codirector of the Institute of Psychoanalysis at the university and former president of the Modern Language Association of America.As colleague Mark Gelber, director of the Center for Austrian and German Studies at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, quipped, Gilman "has lectured or been invited as a guest professor on every continent, except Antarctica. His impressive intellectual range, astounding depth of knowledge and acute critical sense in the various fields of his interest are perhaps unmatched by any scholar working today. He is a phenomenon in his own right."When asked what he does for a living in an interview in Beersheba, Gilman humbly responded, "I shuffle papers."The main motivation for his recent visit was to participate in a major international conference at Ben-Gurion University entitled "30 Years of Austrian/German-Jewish Literary Cultural Studies." He discussed in a personal interview the location-appropriate subject of the Israeli presence in the Diaspora.Gilman is of the opinion that particular trends in Zionism can be marked by patterns in the "movement of peoples." "I'm a great believer that one of the things that defines human beings," he said, "is the fact that human beings as individuals and as groups are constantly moving, for good reasons and for bad reasons – they're being driven out and they're being killed, or they're being rewarded."His interest in Jewish "movement," he explained, is that "one of the things that has happened markedly in the last 10 to 15 years now is what I consider to be a major sign of 'post-Zionism,'" that is, "the presence of Israelis in the Diaspora – in the galut." Israel, said Gilman, is no longer a place simply for "the ingathering of Jews," but also "a place that people depart from."Gilman also addressed the tendency of Israelis to put their national identity before their religious one, specifically when they enter into the Diaspora. Such a shift in self-identification, he said, is yet another sign of the movement from a Zionist to post-Zionist era. "If you start to look in the last 20 years at the very clear, long-term presence of Israelis in the US and South Africa," he remarked, "Israelis see themselves as Israelis – they don't see themselves as Jews, necessarily. If you ask them what they are, they're Israelis, right?"Though he claimed to "give no value [to the trend of increased Diasporism], positive or negative," Gilman's comments likely strike a delicate chord in the Herzlian strain of Zionists, who carry the ardent conviction that Jewish movement "should only be one way.""The tension in Israel," between Zionists and so-called post-Zionists, Gilman said, "is real," and is manifested in the conflict between traditional Zionists, who encourage Jewish insourcing and resent the very presence of Jews in the Diaspora, and the post-Zionists who, it seems, don't give the issue much thought either way.GELBER, THE organizer of the conference in Beersheba and Gilman's host for the duration of his stay, does not agree with his guest's position on Zionism and points to the particular "importance to the demographic reality" of Israel within Jewry. He views the prospect of the State of Israel soon being home to the majority of the world's Jews as having a uniquely positive impact "on Jewish life as lived by individuals in Israel."Gilman, who believes that Israel is simply one of many Diaspora communities, remarked that post-Zionism, though its definition seemingly implies that the State of Israel has no inherent right to exist, "does not cancel out Zionism. I mean, the illusion of this argument is that if you say that there exists Jewish presence in the Diaspora – even Israeli Jewish presence in the Diaspora – it doesn't mean that there should not be a national state with a national identity. Any more than there shouldn't be a Chinese state, with a clearly Chinese identity."Zionists, Gilman continued, "see [the Jewish Diaspora] as contradictory, and some people see post-Zionism as a term that means the end of Zionism, but I see post-Zionism as the age after the establishment of the national state, where the movement of peoples both in and out is part of what national states do."With such a solid take on present trends in Zionism, it seemed appropriate that Gilman also respond to the question of the future of post-Zionism, in other words if Israeli Jews continue to emigrate at higher rates than Diaspora Jews immigrate, what will become of Israel as a nation?His response was directed at a worldwide issue: "I think that what's happening is what sadly happens with all national states – they become 'normal' in terms of the movement of peoples." For reasons that are both good, bad, forced and voluntary, Gilman said, "some [of this movement] may be very positive, that is, people making choices. My prediction is that this pattern will continue."The mounting presence of Israelis in the Diaspora begs the issue of whether or not a distinction can be made at all between Jewish Israelis and Diaspora-born Jews. Gilman is certain that there exists, for all nations, "a national character. But is it uniform?" he asks himself. "No, that's silly... But there are certainly national characteristics... and they are shaped by a whole range of things, including – and we're back to the movement of people – well, by the movement of people!"IT IS THESE questions of one's national and religious identity, of one's homeland and one's self-identification in relation to it, that seem to take a great hold of the scholar, not only in his work, but also in his personal life. "It's very clear that I'm wrestling with this question of identity," he admitted. "And not just because I ask what it means for me to be Jewish, but a more complicated question. I think that every Jew in the Diaspora and in Israel is self-reflective about this."Gilman believes that, while issues of identity may be relevant to many people, while "the majority of the people in the world are happy with whatever identity they have at a given moment," for Jews the question of self-classification is distinct from all others. According to Gilman, "There is a fragment of humanity that keeps on asking, 'Who am I and what am I and am I the same person I was 10 years ago, 20 years ago?'" These, he said, "are always the questions that have puzzled me."Having published or edited some 80 books the 66-year-old Gilman has not yet fully answered these questions, nor does he believe that they carry clear-cut solutions. The process of research and writing, however, has led to a body of work that is as enlightening for readers – if they dare take on the task of diving into such a tremendous collection – as it is for the scholar himself.

Expectation of Privacy Is a Very Lax Standard
Expectation of Privacy Is a Very Lax Standard
Evan Schuman
Posted 2006-05-16
The White House's defense of the latest telephone data examination case is that consumers have no expectation of privacy for telephone numbers and call lists. After years of privacy intr
With the latest allegations that the White House and the National Security Agency have been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans, backers of the program have routinely cited a legal concept known as "expectation of privacy." The phrase references a 1979 U.S. Supreme Court decision that narrowly concluded that people do not expect privacy about the numbers they dial because they give those numbers to various telephone companies. In the 27 years since that decision was handed down, the Web has done quite a bit to make people assume that a great deal of their lives are up for public consumption.
In the e-commerce world, retailers and manufacturers routinely ask for consumers to give up a piece of their privacypersonal contact informationin exchange for something, such as discounts, recall alerts, warranty assistance, tech support and customized services (think Amazon, with its book recommendations).
What retailers and suppliers have discovered is that there is a distinct age divide when it comes to privacy. There is a disconnect between what senior retail marketers expect consumers will give up privacy for and what younger consumers actually will do.
The younger consumers seem much more willing to surrender their data, not necessarily because they find the lure of the incentive so great, but because they assume that their private data is already out there, so why not? Less the digital divide than the cynical connection, younger Americans have simply assumed that their privacy is nil. This explains why members of Congress and veteran media commentatorswho tend to be sharply beyond their puberty yearshave been so aghast at the telephone records grab, while surveys of American consumers show reactions closer to yawns than outrage.

A couple of months ago, I was involved in a research project wherein we interviewed lots of physicians. One of the questions involved a service where the physicians would get instant e-mail and IM alerts when anything major happened impacting any of the drugs they routinely prescribed. The same age split that exists for retail consumers happened for the doctors, but in the reverse. Younger physicians resisted the program, as they didnt want to risk such information getting to pharmaceutical companies, who would bombard them with pitches. But the more experienced physicians had few objections, mostly because they assumed that the pharmaceuticals already had such data.

I found this recipe to be good and easy to put together. It is very warm, but not nuclear to my taste buds. I did not have the shrimp paste, but the recipe seemed fine without it. Thank you for sharing this!

I made a small batch of this paste in order to prepare Curried Chicken in Coconut - Pumpkin Sauce. The results were absolutely delicious and added a good amount of rather complex heat to the final dish. In preparing this paste in my mini chopper, my paste I replaced the dried shrimp with a bit of fish sauce in deference to allergies. Also my paste was not quite as smooth as expected even after several minutes in the mini chopper. Not an issue but and observation. Off to find other recipes to use this condiment. Thanks Sue L.
