In i Love Katamari you control the Prince, who is tasked by the King of All Cosmos to "roll up" objects in order to find a particular item and create a "fabuous" katamari. Throughout a number of levels, which are time based, you control the Prince by tilting the iPhone and moving him so the sticky ball he is pushing around picks up those objects.
A katamari is a sticky ball that can initially pick up very small objects but as the ball grows bigger, it can pick up increasingly bigger ones. You may, for example, start off picking up dominos and magic markers, but as the level progresses, pick up plungers, cats, dogs, people, cars, and even houses.
As mentioned, controlling the Prince is done by tilting the iPhone. There are touch controls for things like initiating running, performing a quick turn, and of course pausing or quiting the game, but the bulk of the movement will be performed by tilting the iPhone in all four directions. This allows you to very precisely control the Prince, and the author has done an excellent job of translating the controls from consoles to this petite platform.
There is a goal object for each level, and this is assigned to the Prince by The King of All Cosmos. The assignment is given in a very tongue in cheek manner, with the King very demanding and full of himself. New levels unlock as previous levels are cleared, but within each level you can play in several different modes:
Story Mode – You must find a specific object in the given time period.
Time Attack Mode – Create the largest katamari you can within the time limit.
Exact Size Challenge Mode – Try to create a katamari of a specific size.
Eternal Mode – This is a free form mode where you can just roll for as long as you want to.
Each level takes place in one of several different environments. You will roll in houses, backyards, parks, and a couple of other places. These environments have very colorful graphics that are very blocky but stylized. The graphics are attractive but look quite dated compared to most modern games. They actually look just like the original Playstation 2 graphics! This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as the graphics back up the game play appropriately, but it is something to consider especially if you have played the series previously.
Namco's Katamari series was very successful on home consoles. While it may seem a little long in the tooth as a PS2 or Xbox 360 game now, i Love Katamari fits well on the iPhone. It makes very few compromises and looks and controls superbly. Finally, if the thought of rolling up common objects, including people and animals, sounds intriging to you, then you should give it a try.

Investigators look for suspects in equipment theftBy Derreck Booth Editor GAINESVILLE - Hall County Sheriff's investigators are looking for leads after suspects got away with nearly $50,000 worth of new outdoor equipment.
According to Sheriff's Sgt Stephen Wilbanks, it happened at Georgia Outdoor Equipment on McEver Road. "About $47,000 worth of new outdoor equipment was stolen after the burglars breached a fence in the rear of the building." Wilbanks said. He said the equipment involved a variety of price points. "It was a mixture of both. Some of this outdoor power equipment is fairly expensive so it doesn't take long to get into that price range, but there was a substantial amount stolen," Wilbanks said. Authorities said it happened between Saturday night and Monday morning. Anyone with information regarding the crime is asked to call Investigator Nathan Manley at 770-531-6879, or submit an anonymous tip at 770-503-3232. © Copyright 2015 AccessNorthGa.com

Death of Diana, Princess of Wales | |
The entrance to the Pont de l'Alma tunnel, the site where Diana was fatally injured | |
Location | Pont de l'Alma, Paris, France |
Date | 31 August 1997 |
Result | Three people unlawfully killed, including Diana and Dodi |
On 31 August 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales died as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris, France. Her companion, Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the Mercedes-Benz W140, Henri Paul, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The bodyguard of Diana and Dodi, Trevor Rees-Jones, was the only survivor. Although at first the media pinned the blame on the paparazzi, the crash was ultimately found to be caused by the reckless actions of the chauffeur, who was the head of security at the Ritz and had earlier goaded the paparazzi waiting outside the hotel.[1] An 18-month French judicial investigation concluded in 1999 that the crash was caused by Paul, who lost control of the car at high speed while drunk. His inebriation may have been made worse by the simultaneous presence of an anti-depressant and traces of a tranquilizing anti-psychotic in his body.[2][3]
Since February 1998, Dodi's father, Mohamed Al-Fayed (the owner of the Hôtel Ritz, for which Paul worked) claimed that the crash was a result of a conspiracy,[4] and later contended that the crash was orchestrated by MI6 on the instructions of the Royal Family.[5] His claims that the crash was a result of a conspiracy were dismissed by a French judicial investigation[2] and by Operation Paget, a Metropolitan police inquiry that concluded in 2006.[6] An inquest headed by Lord Justice Scott Baker into the deaths of Diana and Dodi began at the Royal Courts of Justice, London, on 2 October 2007 and was a continuation of the original inquest that began in 2004.[7] On 7 April 2008, the jury released an official statement that Diana and Dodi were unlawfully killed by the "grossly negligent driving of the following vehicles and of the Mercedes" adding that additional factors were "the impairment of the judgment of the driver of the Mercedes through alcohol" and "the death of the deceased was caused or contributed to by the fact that the deceased was not wearing a seat-belt, the fact that the Mercedes struck the pillar in the Alma Tunnel, rather than colliding with something else".[8]

On 30 August 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, arrived in Paris, France, with Dodi Fayed, the son of Mohamed al-Fayed. They had stopped there en route to London, having spent the preceding nine days together on board Mohamed al-Fayed's yacht, the Jonikal, on the French and Italian Riviera. They had intended to stay overnight. Mohamed al-Fayed was and is the owner of the Hôtel Ritz Paris. He also owned an apartment in Rue Arsène Houssaye, a short distance from the hotel and located just off the Avenue des Champs Elysées.
Henri Paul, the Acting Head of Security at the Ritz Hotel, had been instructed to drive the hired black 1994 Mercedes-Benz S280 through Paris in order to elude the paparazzi.[9] A decoy vehicle left the Ritz first, attracting a throng of photographers. Diana and Fayed would then depart from the hotel's rear entrance.
At around 12:20 am on 31 August 1997, Diana and Fayed left the Ritz to return to the apartment in Rue Arsène Houssaye. They were the rear passengers in a black Mercedes-Benz S280, registration number "688 LTV 75", driven by Paul. Trevor Rees-Jones, a member of the Fayed family's personal protection team, was in the front passenger seat.
They left from the rear of the hotel, the Rue Cambon exit. After crossing the Place de la Concorde they drove along Cours la Reine and Cours Albert 1er (the embankment road running parallel to the River Seine) into the Place de l'Alma underpass. At around 12:23 am at the entrance to the tunnel, their driver lost control; the car swerved to the left of the two-lane carriageway before colliding head-on with the 13th pillar supporting the roof at an estimated speed of 105 km/h (65 mph).[10] It then spun and hit the stone wall of the tunnel backwards, finally coming to a stop. The impact of the crash caused substantial damage, particularly to the front half of the vehicle. There was (and still is) no guard rail between the pillars to prevent this. The Place de l'Alma underpass is the only one on that embankment road that has roof-supporting pillars.
As the victims lay in the wrecked car, the photographers continued to take pictures. Critically injured, Diana was reported to repeatedly murmur "Oh my God," and, after the photographers were pushed away by emergency teams, "Leave me alone".[11]
Dodi Fayed had been sitting in the left rear passenger seat and appeared to be dead. Nevertheless, fire officers were still trying to resuscitate him when he was pronounced dead by a doctor at 1:32 am; Henri Paul was declared dead on removal from the wreckage. Both were taken directly to the Institut Médico-Légal (IML), the Paris mortuary, not to a hospital. Autopsy examination concluded that Paul and Fayed had both suffered a rupture in the isthmus of the aorta and a fractured spine, with, in the case of Paul, a medullar section in the dorsal region and in the case of Fayed a medullar section in the cervical region.
Still conscious, Rees-Jones had suffered multiple serious facial injuries. The two forward passengers' airbags had functioned normally. None of the car's occupants were wearing seat belts.
Diana, who had been sitting in the rear right passenger seat, was still conscious. It was first reported that she was crouched on the floor of the vehicle with her back to the road. It was also reported that a photographer who saw Diana described her as bleeding from the nose and ears with her head rested on the back of the front passenger's seat; he tried to remove her from the car but her feet were stuck. Then he told her that help was on the way and to stay awake; there was no answer from Diana, just blinking.
In June 2007 the Channel 4 documentary Diana: The Witnesses in the Tunnel claimed that the first person to touch Diana was Dr. Maillez,[12] who chanced upon the scene. He reported that Diana had no visible injuries but was in shock and he supplied her with oxygen.
The first police patrol officers arrived at the scene at 12.30. Shortly afterwards, the seven paparazzi on the scene were arrested. Diana was removed from the car at 1:00 am. She then went into cardiac arrest. Following external cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Diana's heart started beating again. She was moved to the SAMU ambulance at 1:18 am. The ambulance departed the crash scene at 1:41 am and arrived at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital at 2:06 am.[13] Despite attempts to save her, her internal injuries were too extensive: her heart had been displaced from the left to the right side of the chest, which tore the pulmonary vein and the pericardium. Despite lengthy resuscitation attempts, including internal cardiac massage, she died at 4 am.[14] At 5:30, her death was announced at a press conference held by a hospital doctor; Jean-Pierre Chevènement, France's Interior Minister; and Sir Michael Jay, Britain's ambassador to France.
Many have speculated that if Diana had worn a seat belt, her injuries would have been less severe.[15] Initial media reports stated that Trevor Rees-Jones was the only car occupant to have worn a seat belt. These reports proved incorrect, as both the French and British investigations concluded that none of the occupants of the car were wearing a seat belt at the time of the impact.[N 1][N 2]
Later that morning, Chevènement, together with French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, Bernadette Chirac (the wife of the French President, Jacques Chirac), and Bernard Kouchner (French Health Minister), visited the hospital room where Diana's body lay and paid their last respects. After their visits, the Anglican Archdeacon of France, Father Martin Draper, said commendatory prayers from the Book of Common Prayer.
At around 2:00 pm, Diana's former husband, Charles, Prince of Wales, and two older sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, arrived in Paris; they left with her body 90 minutes later.
Initial media reports stated Diana's car had collided with the pillar at 190 km/h (120 mph), and that the speedometer's needle had jammed at that position. It was later announced the car's actual speed on collision was about 95–110 km/h (60–70 mph), and that the speedometer was digital; this conflicts with the list of available equipment and features of the Mercedes-Benz W140 S-Class, which used a computer-controlled analogue speedometer, with no digital readout for speed. At any rate, the car was certainly travelling much faster than the legal speed limit of 50 km/h (31 mph), and faster than was prudent for the Alma underpass. In 1999, a French investigation concluded the Mercedes had come into contact with another vehicle (a white Fiat Uno) in the tunnel. The driver of that vehicle has never come forward, and the vehicle itself has not officially been identified.
An eighteen-month French judicial investigation concluded in 1999 that the car crash that killed Diana was caused by Paul, who lost control of the car at high speed while intoxicated.[18]
In October 2003, the Daily Mirror published a letter from Diana in which, ten months before her death, she wrote about a possible plot to kill her by tampering with the brakes of her car. "This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous." She said "my husband[19] is planning 'an accident' in my car, brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for Charles to marry".[20]
On 6 January 2004, six years after her death, an inquest into the deaths of Diana and Dodi Fayed opened in London held by Michael Burgess, the coroner of the Queen's household. The coroner asked the then Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir John Stevens, to make inquiries, in response to speculation (see below) that the deaths were not an accident. The Metropolitan Police investigation reported their findings in Operation Paget in December 2006.
Later in 2004, US TV network CBS showed pictures of the crash scene showing an intact rear side and an intact centre section of the Mercedes, including one of an unbloodied Diana with no outward injuries, crouched on the rear floor of the vehicle with her back to the right passenger seat—the right rear car door is completely opened. The release of these pictures caused uproar in the UK, where it was widely felt that the privacy of Diana was being infringed, and spurred another lawsuit by Mohammed al-Fayed.[21]
In January 2006, Lord Stevens explained in an interview on GMTV that the case is substantially more complex than once thought. The Sunday Times wrote on 29 January 2006 that agents of the British secret service were cross-examined, because they were in Paris at the time of the accident. It was suggested in many journals that these agents might have exchanged the blood test of the driver with another blood sample (although no evidence for this has ever been forthcoming).[22][23]
On 13 July 2006, the Italian magazine Chi published a photograph showing Diana in her "last moments" despite an unofficial blackout on such photographs being published. The photograph was taken shortly after the crash, and shows the Princess slumped in the back seat while a paramedic attempts to fit an oxygen mask over her face. This photograph was also published in other Italian and Spanish magazines and newspapers.
The editor of Chi defended his decision by saying he published the photographs taken from the French investigation dossier for the "simple reason that they haven't been seen before" and that he felt the images do not disrespect the memory of the former Princess.[24]
Diana's death was met with extraordinary public expressions of grief, and her public funeral at Westminster Abbey on 6 September drew an estimated 3 million[25] mourners and onlookers in London, as well as worldwide television coverage watched by 2.5 billion[26] people.
Members of the public were invited to sign a book of condolence at St James Palace. Throughout the night, members of the Women's Royal Voluntary Service and the Salvation Army combined to provide support for people queuing along the Mall.[27] More than one million bouquets were left at her London home, Kensington Palace, while at her family's estate of Althorp the public was asked to stop bringing flowers, as the volume of people and flowers in the surrounding roads was said to be causing a threat to public safety.
By 10 September, the pile of flowers outside Kensington Gardens was 1.5 metres deep in places and the bottom layer had started to compost.[28] The people were quiet, waiting patiently in line to sign the book and leave their gifts. There were a few minor incidents. Fabio Piras, a Sardinian tourist, was given a one-week prison sentence on 10 September for having taken a teddy bear from the pile. When the sentence was later reduced to a £100 fine, Piras was punched in the face by a member of the public when he left the court.[29] The next day, Maria Rigociova, a 54-year-old secondary school teacher, and Agnesa Sihelska, a 50-year-old communications technician, were each given a 28-day prison sentence for having taken eleven teddy bears and a number of flowers from the pile outside St. James' Palace.[30] This too was later reduced to a fine (of £200 each) after they had spent two nights in prison.
Some criticised the reaction to Diana's death at the time as being "hysterical" and "irrational". As early as 1998 philosopher Anthony O'Hear identified the mourning as a defining point in the "sentimentalisation of Britain", a media-fuelled phenomenon where image and reality become blurred.[31] These criticisms that were repeated on the 10th anniversary, where journalist Jonathan Freedland expressed the opinion that "It has become an embarrassing memory, like a mawkish, self-pitying teenage entry in a diary,... we cringe to think about it." In 2010, Theodore Dalrymple wrote "sentimentality, both spontaneous and generated by the exaggerated attention of the media, that was necessary to turn the death of the princess into an event of such magnitude thus served a political purpose, one that was inherently dishonest in a way that parallels the dishonesty that lies behind much sentimentality itself".[32] Some cultural analysts disagreed. Sociologist Deborah Steinberg pointed out that many Britons associated Diana not with the Royal Family but with social change and a more liberal society: "I don't think it was hysteria, the loss of a public figure can be a touchstone for other issues."[33]
The reaction of the Royal Family to Diana's death caused unprecedented resentment and outcry. They were at their summer residence at Balmoral Castle, and their initial decision not to return to London or to mourn more publicly was much criticised at the time. Their rigid adherence to protocol, and their concern to care for Diana's grieving sons, was interpreted by some as a lack of compassion.
In particular, the refusal of Buckingham Palace to fly the Royal Standard at half-mast provoked angry headlines in newspapers.[34] "Where is our Queen? Where is her Flag?" asked The Sun. The Palace's stance was one of royal protocol: no flag could fly over Buckingham Palace, as the Royal Standard is only flown when the Queen is in residence, and the Queen was then in Scotland. Furthermore, the Royal Standard never flies at half-mast as it is the Sovereign's flag and there is never a dead Sovereign (the new monarch immediately succeeds his or her predecessor).
Finally, as a compromise, the Union Flag was flown instead, at half-mast, as the Queen left for Westminster Abbey on the day of Diana's funeral. This set a precedent, and Buckingham Palace has subsequently flown the Union Flag when the Queen is not in residence.
The Queen, who returned to London from Balmoral, agreed to a television broadcast to the nation.
Over a million people lined the four-mile (6 km) route from Kensington Palace to Westminster Abbey.[35] Outside the Abbey and in Hyde Park crowds watched and listened to proceedings on giant outdoor screens and huge speakers as guests filed in, including representatives of the many charities of which Diana was patron. Notable attendants included Hillary Rodham Clinton; Bernadette Chirac, wife of the French President, Jacques Chirac; and other celebrities, including Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti and Diana's good friends singers George Michael and Elton John – the latter performed a rewritten version of his song, "Candle in the Wind", that was dedicated to her.[36] The service was televised live around the world.
Protocol was disregarded when the guests applauded the speech by Diana's younger brother Earl Spencer, who strongly criticised the press and indirectly criticised the Royal Family for their treatment of her.[37] The funeral is estimated to have been watched by 31.5 million viewers in Britain. Precise calculation of the worldwide audience is not possible, but estimated at around 2.5 billion.[38]
After the end of the ceremony, the coffin was driven to Althorp in a Daimler hearse.[39] Mourners cast flowers at the funeral procession for almost the entire length of its journey and vehicles even stopped on the opposite carriageway of the M1 motorway as the cars passed on the route to Althorp.[40] In a private ceremony, Diana was buried on the Althorp estate on an island in the middle of a lake. In her casket, she wears a black Catherine Walker dress and is clutching a rosary in her hands. A visitors' centre is open during summer months, allowing visitors to see an exhibition about her and to walk around the lake. All profits made are donated to the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.
During the four weeks following her funeral, the overall suicide rate in England and Wales rose by 17% and cases of deliberate self-harm by 44.3%, compared with the average reported for that period in the four previous years. Researchers suggest that this was caused by the "identification" effect, as the greatest increase in suicides was by people most similar to Diana: women aged 25 to 44, whose suicide rate increased by over 45%.[41]
In the years after her death, interest in the life of Diana has remained high. As a temporary memorial, the public co-opted the Flamme de la Liberté (Flame of Liberty), a monument near the Alma Tunnel, and related to the French donation of the Statue of Liberty to the United States. The messages of condolence have since been removed, and its use as a Diana memorial has discontinued, though visitors still leave messages at the site in her memory. A permanent memorial, the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain was opened in Hyde Park in London on 6 July 2004.
Diana was ranked third in the 2002 Great Britons poll sponsored by the BBC and voted for by the British public after Sir Winston Churchill (1st) who, by the way, was her cousin, and Isambard Kingdom Brunel (2nd), just above Charles Darwin (4th), William Shakespeare (5th), and Isaac Newton (6th). That same year, another British poll named Diana's death as the most important event in the country's last 100 years.[42] Historian Nick Barrett criticised this outcome as being "a pretty shocking result".[43]
In 2003, Marvel Comics announced it was to publish a five-part series entitled Di Another Day (a reference to the James Bond film Die Another Day) featuring a resurrected Diana, Princess of Wales, as a mutant with superpowers, as part of Peter Milligan's satirical X-Statix title. Amidst considerable outcry, the idea was quickly dropped.[44] Heliograph Incorporated produced a roleplaying game, Diana: Warrior Princess by Marcus L. Rowland, about a fictionalised version of the twentieth century as it might be seen a thousand years from now. Artist Thomas Demand made a video, Tunnel, in 1999, that featured a trip through a cardboard mock-up of the tunnel in which Diana died.
After her death, the actor Kevin Costner, who had been introduced to the Princess by her former sister-in-law, Sarah, Duchess of York, claimed he had been in negotiations with the divorced Princess to co-star in a sequel to the thriller film The Bodyguard, which starred Costner and Whitney Houston. Buckingham Palace dismissed Costner's claims as unfounded.[45]
Actor George Clooney publicly lambasted several tabloids and paparazzi agencies following Diana's death. A few of the tabloids boycotted Clooney following the outburst, stating that he "owed a fair portion of his celebrity" to the tabloids and photo agencies in question.[46]
Although the initial French investigation found that Diana, Princess of Wales, had died as a result of an accident, the conspiracy theories persistently raised by Mohammed al-Fayed and the Daily Express suggested that she was assassinated. In 2004 a special Metropolitan Police inquest team, Operation Paget, headed by the then Commissioner Lord Stevens, was established to investigate the conspiracy theories.
A report with the findings of the criminal investigation was published on 14 December 2006. The inquest was closed following the conclusion of the British Inquest into the deaths in April 2008.
Under English law, an inquest is required in cases of sudden or unexplained death.[47] The inquests into the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales, and Dodi Fayed opened on 8 January 2007, with Dame Elizabeth Butler-Sloss acting as Deputy Coroner of the Queen's Household for the Diana inquest and Assistant Deputy Coroner for Surrey in relation to the Fayed inquest. Butler-Sloss originally intended to sit without a jury;[48] this decision was later overturned by the High Court,[49] as well as the jurisdiction of the Coroner of the Queen's Household. On 24 April 2007, Butler-Sloss stepped down, saying she lacked the experience required to deal with an inquest with a jury.[7] The role of Coroner for the inquests was transferred to Lord Justice Scott Baker, who formally took up the role on 11 June as Coroner for Inner West London.
On 27 July 2007, Baker, following representations for the lawyers of the interested parties, issued a list of issues likely to be raised at the inquest, many of which had been dealt with in great detail by Operation Paget.
The issues identified were:
- Whether driver error on the part of Henri Paul caused or contributed to the cause of the collision
- Whether Henri Paul's ability to drive was impaired through drink or drugs
- Whether a Fiat Uno or any other vehicle caused or contributed to the collision
- Whether the actions of the Paparazzi caused or contributed to the cause of the collision
- Whether the road/tunnel layout and construction were inherently dangerous and, if so, whether this contributed to the collision
- Whether any bright/flashing lights contributed to or caused the collision and, if so, their source
- Whose decision it was that the Princess of Wales and Dodi Al Fayed should leave from the rear entrance to the Ritz and that Henri Paul should drive the vehicle
- Henri Paul's movements between 7 and 10 pm on 30 August 1997
- The explanation for the money in Henri Paul's possession on 30 August 1997 and in his bank account
- Whether Andanson was in Paris on the night of the collision
- Whether Diana's life would have been saved if she had reached hospital sooner or if her medical treatment had been different
- Whether Diana was pregnant
- Whether Diana and Dodi Al Fayed were about to announce their engagement
- Whether and, if so in what circumstances, the Princess of Wales feared for her life
- The circumstances relating to the purchase of the ring
- The circumstances in which Diana's body was embalmed
- Whether the evidence of Tomlinson throws any light on the collision
- Whether the British or any other security services had any involvement in the collision
- Whether there was anything sinister about (i) the Cherruault burglary or (ii) the disturbance at the Big Pictures agency
- Whether correspondence belonging to the Princess of Wales (including some from Prince Philip) has disappeared, and if so the circumstances.[50]
The inquests officially began on 2 October 2007 with the swearing of a jury of six women and five men. Lord Justice Scott Baker delivered a lengthy opening statement giving general instructions to the jury and introducing the evidence.[51] The BBC reported that Mohammed Al-Fayed, having earlier reiterated his claim that his son and Diana were murdered by the Royal Family, immediately criticised the opening statement as biased.[52]
The inquest heard evidence from people connected with Diana and the events leading to her death, including Paul Burrell, Mohamed Al-Fayed, her stepmother, the survivor of the crash, and the former head of MI5.[53]
Lord Justice Scott Baker began his summing up to the jury on 31 March 2008.[54] He stated there was "not a shred of evidence" that the Duke of Edinburgh ordered the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, or that the security services organised it.[55] Lord Justice Scott Baker concluded his summing up on Wednesday, 2 April 2008.[56] After summing up, the jury retired to consider five verdicts, namely unlawful killing by the negligence of either or both the following vehicles or Henri Paul; accidental death or an open verdict.[54] The jury decided on 7 April 2008 that Diana had been unlawfully killed by the grossly negligent driving of chauffeur Henri Paul and following vehicles.[8][57]
The cost of the death inquiry exceeded £12.5 million, with the coroner's inquest at £4.5 million, and a further £8 million spent on the Metropolitan Police investigation. It lasted 6 months and heard 250 witnesses, with the cost heavily criticised in the media.[58]
Diana's death occurred at a time when internet use in the developed world was booming, and several national newspapers and at least one British regional newspaper had already launched online news services. BBC News had set up online coverage of the general election earlier in 1997[59] and as a result of the widespread public and media attention that Diana's death resulted in, BBC News swiftly created a website featuring news coverage of Diana's death and the events that followed it. Diana's death helped BBC News officials realise how important online news services were becoming, and a full online news service was launched on 4 November that year.[60]

Competing for the first time individually instead of on a team, Ross Werth admitted he was a little nervous heading into Thursday's 34th Math Relays at Fort Hays State University.
And there was a little added pressure on the Thomas More Prep-Marian High School senior.
As a leader in the school, the student body president wanted so badly to do well for his former teacher, Gene Zimmer, who retired just before the start of the fall semester because of health reasons.
Under Zimmer, the Monarchs had won 11 Math Relays titles in as many tries.
Werth and the rest of his teammates gave Zimmer and their current teacher and Math Relays coach, Josh Peterson, a day to remember.
With Zimmer hanging out in the FHSU Memorial Union, the Monarchs cruised to another team title in the Class 2-3A division by a whopping margin, outscoring runner-up Pratt-Skyline by 47 points, 117 to 70.
Leading TMP individually was Werth, who finished in the top six of all but one of the six individual events in which he competed, placing second in two of those.
"(Zimmer) showed up to support us, and that meant a lot," said Werth, who was part of a team that placed in the top six of four events last year. "We all love Mr. Zimmer. He's a really big part of the TMP math department."
In what has become almost tradition, TMP's total was the most points scored the entire day among the 48 schools competing in three different divisions.
Hutchinson won the Class 4-6A division with 98.50 points, followed by Salina Central with 88.5 points, while Beloit-St. John's Catholic High School was the 1A team champion with 58.50 points, outdistancing second-place Ashland by 23 points.
Peterson, in his third year of teaching math at TMP, said he also was a "little nervous" because "Mr. Z has had such an awesome run."
Together, Peterson and Zimmer put together winning teams in the 11th- and 12th-grade classes that helped score a lot of points.
The 12th-grade team of Allison Pfeifer, Link Chen and Yilin Song won three divisions and placed third in another, while the junior trio of Ryan Hammerschmidt, Mason Choitz and Justin Raynesford finished in the top six of three events, including a first-place effort in trigonometry.
Other individual leaders for TMP were junior Jacob Brull, senior Jin Lim and sophomore Grace Volker.
Brull, like Werth, placed in the top six of five events. Brull won one individual event, as did Lim and Volker. Lim also finished in the top six of another individual event, as did classmate Vy Phan.
* Hays High School placed fourth in the 4-6A division with 40 points.
HHS had two championship teams -- the freshman threesome of Gage Phillips, Scott Ring and Nikki Vuong, and the sophomore trio of Logan Renz, Sarah Rooney and Sydney Vahling. Individually, Phillips also placed second individually in calculations with calculators.
Two 12th-grade teams also placed in the top six for Hays High. Shea Briggs joined classmates Katelyn Schumacher and Kellen Griffin for a runner-up finish in calculations with calculators, while Schumacher was part of the fourth-place trigonometry team along with Courtney Hess and Shelby Dinkel.
* Area schools also had several top-six finishers.
Individually, Russell sophomore Shiv Gutka won three events and finished second in another, freshman Cody Land from Almena-Northern Valley won two events, and Goodland junior Jarod Lake won one.
Ness City and Oberlin each had two team champs, while Goodland and Russell each had one.
Complete results can be found at www.fhsu.edu and search for Math Relays.

Talk about your quiet launches. HP's tablet computer, the HP Slate 500, is being released. And according to a first look at CNET it's no contender to Samsung, Dell or Apple's offerings in the consumer space. Instead it's a 9-inch Windows 7 slate aimed squarely at business.
It looks pretty much the same as the leaked pictures a while back. It has a touch UI which apparently is not specialised. There's no custom software being built in so it's just what comes standard with Windows 7. There is a stylus.
Under the bonnet there's a 1.86GHz Intel Atom Z540, 2GB of RAM, a 64GB SSD hard drive and a Broadcom Crystal HD chip. The screen is 8.9 inches, with 1024x600 resolution and can handle HD video. There's a USB port and a docking connector, an SD card slot, a front facing VGA camera and a rear-facing 3MP camera.
It's retailing for a very hefty $799 in a bundle package, which ships with the docking stand, carry case and stylus as well. It may woo some business users but we're struggling to see the sense behind shipping a product with limited touch support.
One of the reasons Apple products are so well received is the intuitive UI which makes you feel like you're using some kind of futuristic gadget rather than a bizarrely shaped computer. It's unfair to cast judgement as we haven't had a hands-on, but Windows 7 isn't tablet ready - but with WebOS 2.0 in the pipeline perhaps HP will twig on soon and this will just be testing the water.
The video and brief review is available on CNET here.

I just moved from Direct TV to Comcast with a bundled package and can't complain overall as the internet is faster, the phone works and for the most part the TV has been fine. For the last month however i have had this message come up when i try use Comcast ON Demand "error retrieving data - request failed. please try again. if problem continues please call your cable operator. Reference CL-14" when calling. apparently this is normal although I havent seen anyone else use the same error code. i have sound and when i leave it for a few minutes it diverts back to the main tv guide menu. Anyone else had this happen?
This is a low level communication failure. If retries don't work, call 1-800-COMCAST.
OnDemand requires 2-way communications. When they installed your service, they should have run an OnDemand demo video that not only verifies that OnDemand functions, but tells you how to use it.
getting the same error ..can't get a resolution from call in or online chat
getting really annoyed

This is good news for opponents of genetically modified foods as their consumption has been linked to cancers and other health problems in labratory animals and in humans. Last year, Russia temporarily banned the production of several GM crops, but in the last week "Russia's Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare conducted its own safety assessment of NK603 and concluded that there were no adverse effects on humans." (AGProfessional)
This is a small and perhaps temporary victory in the fight against franken-foods, but activists must remain steadfast and dedicated to stop the tidal wave of genetically modified crops, which rely much more heavily on boutique pesticides and herbicides than traditionally cultivated crops. And organizations working toward this goal, like GreenPeace, are quick to point out that we must remain vigilant so that the EU is not able to overturn this ban, and also that proper oversight is implemented to ensure that GM crops will be controlled effectively and that the ban is actually observed by local farmers.

Poland is in Central Europe not North-Eastern Europe.
Thank you Slawek : )
Great!! Sign pg Wisdom…..
Good for you, Poland. stick to it….you will not regret!! -
Everything would be fine except 2 things.
First – this act bans only MON 810 and Amflora potato.
Second – this act actually allows you to crop GM seeds on Poland territory ! (till now it wasn't allowed – which was against UE rules)Thats why there were lot of protests on the day when the act was about to be signed and lot of polish non-governmental organizations were (and still are) AGAINST this act.
This case isn't as simple as it looks…
Only MON 810 and Amflora potato is allowed in EU, apparently that's why BASF, Syngenta and Monsanto are moving out from EU towards China and Asia. In Poland you can trade but not crop GM seeds.
We won't see this in America, now that Obama has protected Monsanto and others alike within the recent H.R. 933.

Fishing and hunting abound along the Kankakee River
By Daniel P. Smith For Sun-Times Media

Last fall, a youngster walked in the Bass Pro Shops in Portage and handed the staff an eight-pound walleye pulled from the Kankakee River. Today, that fish continues swimming around the store's in-house aquarium, a reminder of the great catches available on one of Indiana's most often overlooked fishing destinations.
Meandering through northwest Indiana's Porter and Lake counties, the Kankakee River remains a somewhat forgotten anglers' retreat featuring an array of fish species, scenic spots, and active catches.
While some fishermen seek a secluded spot along the riverbank — which the Kankakee offers in abundance — others take their poles and bait to more populated spots, such as the Kingsbury Fish and Wildlife Area near LaPorte, the Kankakee Fish and Wildlife Area, the architecturally engaging Dunn's Bridge, Grand Kankakee Marsh County Park, and the LaSalle Fish and Wildlife Area.
Some of the best things about fishing on the Kankakee are "its ease of accessibility and its variety," said Jim Osborne, general manager of Portage's Bass Pro Shops and the man who enthusiastically received the young angler's donation last fall at the store.
"There's an opportunity to catch quality, which is nice if you're by yourself, or quantity, a real plus if you're with kids. There's also the opportunity to go to different spots along the way and try for different species as well."
What's there to catch
The Kankakee's species are numerous, led by pike, a frequent find in the Kankakee Fish and Wildlife Area, as well as small-mouth bass, crappie, blue gill, and walleye, an Illinois-stocked fish that rides the Kankakee into Indiana.
"There's quite a variety that anglers can go and catch and [the Kankakee River] offers a nice game fish community," said Jeremy Price, a district fisheries biologist with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
While catch rates will vary along the Kankakee River, Price said there's a strong mix of action-packed spots filled with hungry fish as well as those that allow anglers to capture a larger catch.
"The Kankakee is not without some big catches," Price said.
In recent years, Price has noted the rise of bow fishing on the Kankakee River. He says many bow-fishing anglers, a growing number, will capture carp and suckers at various spots along the waterway.
"The Kankakee is among the area's best spots [for bow fishing]," Price said.
More than fish to be nabbed
The Kankakee hasn't only gained a reputation for its fishing resources.
The river and its adjacent areas have long been popular hunting destinations, with some of the area's most dedicated outdoor enthusiasts frequently trolling land near the Kankakee throughout the year.
The Kankakee Fish and Wildlife Area remains one of Indiana's most robust waterfowl areas, while the Kingsbury Fish and Wildlife Area hosts a variety of upland habitat, including deer and rabbits.
"With access through both state and private areas, there's always a good opportunity along the Kankakee to go down, get a hunt, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow hunters," Osborne said.

SoBeWFF: Dining In The Dark Staff Rehearses With Night Vision Goggles
Categories: South Beach Wine & Food Festival
Chad Stewart tries out his night vision scope, "This is going to be fun". |
The Dining in the Dark experience poses unique challenges to the coordinators of the dinner. Everything needs to be mapped out with military-like precision from the exact location of wine glasses (directly in line with butter knives) to plans for escorting diners to the bathroom in complete darkness.
Miami New Times was asked to sit in on the rehearsal, where wait staff from The Perry South Beach Hotel are training. Though the staff is highly skilled, everything changes when the lights go out.
Laine Doss |
Science fiction film or server training? |
Staff from the South Beach Wine and Food Festival and others recruited to serve as patrons are walked into the dimly lit ballroom and seated. Kirsta Grauberger, managing partner at Market 17 restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, which holds nightly dining in the dark experiences, lays the groundwork (and a few rules) for the evening.
"This is a completely dark dining experience. At first you may feel disoriented, but go with it. Once the food and wine starts flowing, you'll be more comfortable. If you have to get up, raise your hand and someone will come and escort you out".
Then the lights go out. It's dark. There's some nervous giggling and quips ("get your hand off my leg"). Anticipation is in the air as the wait staff serve for the first time.
Servers practice pouring water ("don't fill up the glass the whole way") and placing empty dishes down in front of the diners. Working slowly at first, the staff start to get the hang of it. What's so difficult when the staff can see in the dark? I'm about to find out as I take my turn with the night vision goggles.
With the night vision goggles on, the room is turned into monochrome green. Water, white wine, and even red wine look alike. The only way to tell the difference is by identifying the different glasses. Then there's the difference in depth perception. Because you're looking through one lens, everything is out of whack. I try to touch the back of a chair that I think is right in front of me and it's about two feet further away than I think it is. This is not easy.
But it is old hat to Chester Alvarez and Diego Rivera, who work the dark dinners at Market 17. They're training the Perry staff and will serve as captains the night of the event. They've done this thousands of times already and tell me that the main challenge for servers is getting used to those changes in depth perception, especially when it comes to pouring wine and water.
A few more dry runs, and it's time for the staff to actually serve food. This is a complete run-through, so we leave the ballroom and are led back in as if this were the actual dinner. After the introduction, the lights go off and we're served our first course. Though we have silverware, all the dishes are designed to be eaten with your hands. I'm not going to give away any part of the menu (the fun is in the discovery), but other senses do come into play - texture and taste, especially.
Kirsta Grauberger tells me that the key to a successful dining in the dark event is allowing the chefs to play with unexpected textures, spices, and flavor profiles in the foods.
And for diners? Grauberger says to bring a sense of adventure, relax and enjoy the moment. And don't wear the white silk Prada number -- just in case.

It's gotten cold in here
But asylum warmth draws near
And with a gentle touch of these burdens
And such fears are wiped clear
Who says you ought to stay?
How's this the easier way?
It's far from giving up
Cowards never say enough is enough
And then I'm lifted up
Out of the cribs and towel
The bath begins to drain
And from the floor he prays away
All my pain
Who says that God exists?
We can't see icons or myths, but
Well, I believe in you
Do you believe in me, too?
All the things you can't control
Should never destroy the love one holds
I found a place
I found a place
I found a place where we belong
Never be up and down, be in between the whitest clouds
Never did I ever think I'd buy up all the things I've found
'Cause how you keep on living when you're always but a million down
All I've ever wanted was to be happy and make you proud

Ten Shittiest MTV Video Music Awards Performances Ever
MTV + Britney + Madonna = Barf |
Last week, when we broke down why the upcoming VMAs is a steaming hot turd, we already knew Lil Wayne would be on board, and would likely be performing his wet fart of a single, "How To Love." Well, yesterday's announcement revealed that woman-beating public enemy number-one Chris Brown would also be taking the stage. And don't forget Adele, who is currently famous for sitting in a chair.
If you still haven't figured it out, let us clarify: The Video Music Awards are bogus. And these performances are bound to be equally craptacular. And it is in that spirit that we proudly present the ten shittiest MTV Video Music Awards performances ever.
10. Britney Spears: "Trouble/Gimme More" (2007)
Britney Spears' infamously sloppy non-comeback at the 2007 VMAs dug the pop diva the deepest hole of her tumultuous career. The backlash was so intense that it even granted YouTuber Chris Crocker 15 minutes of fame for being a hysterical freak.
9. Madonna and Lenny Kravitz: "Shanti Ashtangi/Ray of Light" (1998)
Oh. Great. Madonna and Lenny-fucking-Kravitz fuse New Age bullshit with, like, mall techno. Are you trying to sell my Mom jeans and/or incense?
8. Blink-182: "All The Small Things" (1999 and 2000)
MTV gave Blink-182's Tom Delonge two separate opportunities to sing All The Small Things in tune. Once at the VMA pre-show in 1999 (see above) and again as the closing act of the 2000 VMAs. He failed miserably both times.
7. Oasis: "Champagne Supernova" (1996)
Welcome to America, where we pay petulant drug addicts millions of dollars to be petulant drug addicts. On stage.
6.Brandy & Monica: "The Boy Is Mine" (1998)
Rumor has it that MTV's producers asked Brandy and Monica to perform their collaborative single "The Boy Is Mine" to quell suspicions that the R&B sirens were feuding. Well, based on the oh-no-you-didn't narrative of the song, Crossfade would have preferred MTV arranged a good ol' fashioned Miss Thang cage match cat fight.

Effects of hypoxia and HIFs on cancer metabolism
- Vera Mucaj,
- Jessica E. S. Shay,
- M. Celeste Simon
- … show all 3 hide
Cancer cells are characterized by rapid proliferation and require adaptive metabolic responses to allow continued biosynthesis and cell growth in the setting of decreased oxygen (O2) and nutrient availability. The hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are a common link between adaptation to low O2, changes in cancer metabolism, and malignant progression. The HIF-α subunits differentially regulate metabolic enzymes and other key factors involved in glycolysis, changes in redox status, and oxidative phosphorylation. Importantly, metabolic changes can, in turn, regulate HIF activity. Finally, changes in metabolism under hypoxia lead to important crosstalk between cancer cells and the stromal compartment of the microenvironment.

10 Hard-to-Swallow Facts That You'll Wish Were April Fool's Jokes
It may be 1 April, but we're not pulling your leg. Meat and other animal products contain some extremely disturbing ingredients. Cruelty, for a start – but also some other stuff that's just, well, gross.
Unfortunately, the following 10 facts about what's really in meat and dairy products are 100 percent true – we'd just advise you not to read them while you're tucking into a hamburger or any other food that contains dead animals.
- Arsenic
Farms feed chickens and pigs arsenic to help ward off infections in their filthy living conditions
