5 Tips for Your New Twitter Profile
Well, I had been hearing about "it" for the past week in various blog posts and tweets, and so I was excited to receive an email from Twitter finally telling me I could now access the new profile designs. The very first thing that springs to mind is: "Wow, this profile page is just like Facebook!". These new profiles are now available to everyone, at least the desktop version. No news as to when the mobile version will be available, but since 84% of active users access Twitter from their mobile devices, we can expect it soon.
Below is a screenshot of my Twitter profile page BEFORE the change:
And here is a screenshot of what my new Twitter profile NOW looks like:
Pretty dramatic change, right? Here are five tips to keep in mind when updating your profile and managing it moving forward, both for personal and brand accounts alike.
1. Profile photo
While your present picture will be automatically resized to fit the new dimensions, why not take this opportunity to change your profile picture with a more recent one? The dimensions used to be 256 x 256 pixels, but bear in mind the new ones are 400 x 400 pixels, so make the most of it.
2. Cover photo
This feature is without a doubt the biggest visual change, and the biggest "steal" from the Facebook playbook. The cover photo was never a key component of your Twitter profile, but you can now showcase your brand much more prominently. The dimensions for the new cover photo space are 1500 x 500 pixels. It will be interesting to see if and when brands start inserting call-to-actions here or promotional messages.
3. Photos / Videos
We all know how much photos and videos are becoming de rigueur in social media, as most shared items across all platforms. Twitter is taking steps to ensure photos and videos will also become more central to its platform, and you'll notice how the tweets, following, followers, photos/videos, and favorites tabs are now right under the cover photo, making them easier to access. And share! Notice also the bigger rectangles and font, making the overall look & feel more dynamic.
4. Favorites
While the 'Favorites' tab was always available in the old profile page, it was on the left hand-side, at the bottom of the list. It now shows prominently on the main navigation bar under the cover photo, as shown above. More importantly, it now highlights how many favorites you or your brand account has. This can represent an opportunity for brands to 'favorite' whenever influencers or traditional media retweet or mention your brand, for example.
NOTE: Many folks, myself included, used to favorite tweets as archiving mechanism, so you could go back and read tweets later on. I never realized I had 172 favorites until today! Might be good timing to revisit if all 'favorite' tweets really deserve to be there, in broad daylight…
5. Pinned Tweet
This is another notorious 'steal' from the Facebook playbook, yet it may prove to be one of the most interesting new features on Twitter. You can basically decide to feature any given tweet, by pinning it at the top of your profile, ensuring more visibility even if (or in particular when) it's an older tweet. Brands will want to focus on important tweets, promotions or PR-driven messages, specially if they have a promoted account campaign on Twitter, when new users may discover their page. Incidentally, after less than 48 hours of having a pinned tweet on my account I have already noticed more action (retweets) on it than since I initially tweeted it a few days ago!
It will be interesting to see if these changes have any effect on user uptake and engagement. Out of the one billion registered users on Twitter, latest stats report 261 million monthly active users, of which 184 million are mobile monthly active users. What do you think, will these changes have any impact?

I'm pretty sure that these 'dramatic' changes in new Twitter profile will have an impact to every user. It would be so interesting to see the effects on user engagement.
These changes in Twitter profile will surely help a marketer or businessman if he will change his profile and business description in a more interesting way.
Thanks for sharing your valuable tips to ponder when updating Twitter profile and managing both personal and brand accounts.

Push Play was an American pop/rock band formed on Long Island, NY in 2006. The band consisted of CJ Baran (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards), Steve Scarola (lead guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Nick Deturris (bass) and Derek Ries (drums). The band originally found independent success by utilizing social networks, new media, touring, and distributing their own music on various digital vendors including iTunes. Their charitable efforts were nationally recognized through the Push Play for Purpose campaign, a commitment to donate free performances in effort to raise funds for a multitude of charities. Push Play eventually signed to record label Wind-up Records in June 2009, where they released the album Found. In April 2010, the band announced they were parting ways to pursue personal goals, ending their 4 years as a band.

Representatives from the US Department of Education meet with students and staff at the University of Michigan next week.
It's part of an on-going investigation by the department's Office for Civil Rights into how the University handles cases of sexual misconduct involving students.
University spokesperson Rick Fitzgerald says the federal review team has planned open house forums.
"People can drop in and they'll have staff members there … who can talk with students or staff … and … people can make appointments if they want to. And there's also an opportunity to provide … feedback or comments via e-mail."
Fitzgerald says the Office for Civil Rights is also conducting focus meetings with certain groups on campus.
The open forums are scheduled for April 15, 16 and 17, in the Michigan Union.

I am a Ph. D. chemist from the University of California, Berkeley. I have been playing videogames since as long as I can remember! My past favorite games include Secret of Mana, TMNT: Turtles in Time, the Resident Evil series (Jill is SUCH as master of unlocking), FFVII, Smash Bros Melee, and many others.
I've definitely gone through phases in my gaming "career". I used to LOVE fighting games in the time of Tekken Tag and Marvel vs Capcom II (my favorite fighting game), but now I find myself drawn to the more story driven games, and very recently, the music games....:)
But....fighting games are making a comeback! SFIV! MvC3! BlazBlue! Beware everyone, Tactix has put a quarter on the screen and is challenging you for battle!
It was mere chance that brought me to Destructoid back in early 2007, and through it all I've stayed because of the great writing staff, a community that cares, and lots of new internet and IRL friends. Destructoid has changed my life. True story.

Dtoid Community Discusses pt 3: Gaming Journalism
Another week, another discussion! In case this is the first time you are reading one of these, Dtoid Community Discusses is a weekly c-blog which brings together members of the Destructoid Community to talk about topics that pertain (of course) to gaming and gaming culture. Now on our third iteration, if you want to check out any of the previous installments, please check out the links on the side bar!
Anyway, in light of the fall of EGM (*pause while I pour one out for my homies*), I decided to ask this weeks panel about the state of gaming journalism. The panel this week consists of NihonTiger90, Coonskin05, Blehman and ScottyG! As always here is the question I posed to them:
Gaming Journalism: In light of the recent 1UP ordeal that recently happened, I began to think about the state of 'gaming journalism'. It's really sad that a company that appeared to be doing it right got in such a mess. Which got me to thinking about the state of gaming journalism in general. Back in the day, gaming magazines were how things were done, and Gamepro, EGM, Nintendo Power were all the rage. Now, its hard for print magazines to continue strong, I believe due to the strength of the internet and the ability to find out things instantly.
HOWEVER, alot of gaming news sites can hardly be considered "journalism". It seems that most sites out there are basically rehashed PR statements, places to break NDA's or copypasta of other blogs that worked hard for their writing but just can't make it big.
I ask you guys. What exactly is gaming journalism/does it exist? Why did print magazines fail? Will videogames gain that level of professional reporting that other media seem to have? What do you think the future of gaming journalism holds?
The discussion basically covered two topics, so I've given each of them their own section. Read on to find out what they thought!
First: Concerning Gaming magazines
Print magazines failed because their readership changed. Most people who play games already used the Internet, and while a laptop doesn't really work well on the crapper, their audience began to turn towards the "free" content instead of paying monthly for pretty much the same thing. It's the same pickle so many other print publications are facing right now. That's really about all there is to it.
I think there has to be more to print magazines "failing" than just the internet....On Podtoid today, Jim mentioned that gaming mags are alive and well in England, and I feel Famitsu is doing fine. Talking with some other Dtoiders at some point we came up with the idea that maybe gaming magazines should change their format a bit, like make them smaller and come out more often. What do you guys think of this idea?
I still love my print media. Theres just something about having a tangible copy that I can keep and go back to thatll always be better, in my opinion, than the cold, constantly updating void that is the internet. Im willing to pay the small amount needed to keep up with previews and features that come with most magazines over free, quick, and bare-bones approach the internet has become, at least for reporting every little thing as soon as it happens. I do think that changing from a monthly everything that we can fit in and its still outdated approach to something like a bi-monthly heres what just happened approach would be keen, but I dont think itll change anyones mind.
As far as print magazines go, I agree heartily on the fact that the reason they have failed is because of instant access to information from the internet. But another thing that I think might play into it is they seem to have a corporate feel. When I was 9 and 10 and read Game Informer, I knew each of the editors' writing voice, and it always seemed like they had an extreme passion for their jobs. Nowadays Game Informer is just something else Game Stop tries to push on me, along with reserves and Edge cards.
I still disagree with everyone that gaming magazines are failing, and if the only reason you feel it's a corporate push to get you to read them read them outside of the context of things like Gamestop and see how good they still are.
EGM's first issue.....PEW PEW PEW
Next, (a slightly more passionate topic), gaming journalism:
The biggest problem gaming journalism really faces, is that everyone thinks they can do it. They think all you do is play games all day and party all night, but really, that's a pipe dream. Sure, there's parties and game playing to be had, but you have to bust your ass at the same time. At PAX, I was one of the three people from Blogcritics providing coverage and by Sunday night, I was at the point of physical breakdown from the amount of walking and other work I had done. Just because you're at a convention or something else doesn't mean you get to relax a whole lot. There are still deadlines to be made and the competition will still be fighting you to break news first, so you're pretty much busy all the time. Not to mention that reviewing a game means playing through it and then sitting down and critically analyzing the whole thing. You get used to doing it, but it's not as easy at it seems at first.
The other problem, really, is that for the most part, you're not going to have the time necessary to sit down and crank stuff out some days because you'll be working your real-life job to pay the bills. I think Dtoid has like, what, 5 full-time paid employees, and everyone else writes when they can. For example, Anthony's in college, I believe, and Chad, Hamza and most of the other editors have full-time jobs they work at, so for the most part, the full-timers like Brad, Jim, Nick and Colette are the ones you'll see doing most of the work on any given day. Not everyone gets to be a Crecente, Totillo, Croal, Gerstmann or Casamassina that gets to do this full-time, all the time. On top of that, a lot of sites don't pay enough, or in my case, don't pay at all. You're doing this because you want to take on the work, even though you already have a full-time job.
I think its a fine line to be walking right now. Game journalists cannot, and will not, be taken seriously by most people outside of the industry until the industry as a whole is taken seriously. Im sorry, but thats just the way it is. It really is an anyone can do it job, as long as theyre dedicated enough to take it seriously without going overboard. This is not a job where you have to go to school for several years and gain the finer points of anything. Im not gonna lie, I dont know personally how much work and dedication most game bloggers put in, but I can bet its a lot for the ones I read consistently. But constant PR rehashing, three sentence look at this and tell me what you think posts, and the general clusterfuck of the internet are getting in the way of what I turn to game magazines for, which is large impression posts and editorials. I dont want Nintendo Power or OXM system circle jerks, but I dont want to have to read other uninformed peoples comments based off of a picture and two sentence summary.
"Anyone can do it"....Could this Crowhawk douche be the next N'gai Croal?
First I want to clarify if we're considering videogame blogging sites like Destructoid, Journalism. We all know they don't consider themselves journalists, but they do report the news and do reviews, interviews, and original articles so at the very least I will be including them. :)
I think moving to the internet has both helped and hurt videogame journalism. On one side. You can get stories out to your readers much more quickly and can build a better community than you really could with a magazine. Destructoid's community for example, is something you could never get in a print magazine.
However, the constant race to be first on a news story or a review forces writers to take shortcuts and rely more on short, straightforward stories that aside from a little personal spin don't really differ from any other site out there. Original interviews and articles just don't happen, and quite often when they do they're just lists. For the most part long, multipart features previewing a game or interviewing a developer just doesn't happen. The only site I can think of that really does that sort of thing is Gametrailers, with excellent pieces like their retrospective series and Bonus Round.
The biggest problem with everyone being able to do gaming journalism is the same problem that plagues the rest of the media: ethics and morals. While trained journalists have a certain code that they work by, not all bloggers do. Some will post whatever they can get as soon as they can get it without bothering to verify their sources, just to get all the traffic and the glory. But if you're wrong, you can screw up a lot of people's lives. I know that sounds silly, but posting a serious story based on rumors can cause any number of negative reactions, especially if that company is traded on the stock market (see: the many Apple and Steve Jobs dying stories that have been posted, even though he's now stepping down for a while). Even Kotaku got bit by this earlier in the year when they posted that Xbox 360 rumor that turned out to be something the Cheap Ass Gamer forums made up. Beating everyone else to the punch doesn't matter if you're dead wrong. It just makes you look like an incredible jackass.
Like Mike said, the constant rehasing of press releases and three paragraph sentences isn't really gaming journalism. That requires a lot more of an investment. It doesn't mean you have to go to journalism school to work in the industry, but honestly, it might not hurt if we got more actual reporting on the games industry. And yes, there's plenty that could be reported on if sites had more resources.
Concerning gaming journalism, I think part of the beauty is that anyone can break into it. An easier point of access means that those who deserve to be at the top will be at the top. And excuse me if I come off as a little brutish here, but I've never understood the whole "Why doesn't anyone take game journalism seriously?" complaint. Why do we care so much about the "rest of the media's" approval. When the traditional media tries to cover videogames (like the New York Times making a "Best Of" list), it's fucking laughable, so I have never really seen why we have always craved that approval. We know who the top videogame journalists are and they get their credit, and we know that the videogame industry makes more than the music and movie industry, so we should be happy with that.
Coon hit the nail on the head. Why do we care what the "mainstream" media cares about game journalism? It's a relatively new field compared to movies and music, so of course everyone who's not in the know is skeptical, and frankly, out of touch with it. Like I said, until the game industry breaks through a few more walls and gains more mainstream acceptance, why not say damn the torpedoes? As far as I can see, it's still full speed ahead. As long as game journalists keep their priorities in mind and keep on doing what they feel is right, we've got things pretty much covered. Though it's sad to see the fall of such longstanding institutions as EGM, it's an unfortunate side effect of people not understanding where the future is heading, and I think in the future it will just band together gamers to keep these things running, whether it's "underground" blogs like dtoid and kotaku, which are, needless to say, not to terribly well known outside of gaming circles, or more mainstream media like newspapers and magazines gaining legitimate gaming writers from the destruction of these sites due to "financial outlooks."

Fantastic Planet (French: La Planète sauvage, lit. The Savage Planet) is a 1973 cutout stop motion science fiction allegorical film directed by René Laloux, production designed by Roland Topor, written by both of them and animated at Jiří Trnka Studio.[1] The film was an international production between France and Czechoslovakia and was distributed in the United States by Roger Corman. It won the special jury prize at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival.[2] The story is based on the novel Oms en série, by the French writer Stefan Wul. A working title for the film while it was in development was Sur la planète Ygam (On the Planet Ygam).[3] The film had a total of 809,945 admissions in France.[4]
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (January 2015) |
In the future, human beings – called "Oms" (a homonym of the French-language word Hommes, meaning humans) – live on the Draags' home planet. The Draags are humanoid in shape but a hundred times larger than humans and have longer life spans. While Draags keep some Oms as pets, they see other Oms as pests to be exterminated. A group of Draag children accidentally kill an Om woman during play. Her orphaned infant is taken in by an adult Draag as a pet for his child, Tiva. Tiva's father is Master Sinh, the Draag great Aedile.
Many Draag children have Om pets, but the bond created Tiva and the Om child named Terr (word play on the French word Terre, meaning Earth) deepens over time. Tiva receives her education from a headset that transmits knowledge directly into her brain. Because she enjoys having Terr in her hand when she is having her "infos," Terr begins to acquire both Draag knowledge and realization of who and what he is. Stealing the headset, Terr escapes.
Terr eventually discovers a tribe of wild Oms and, after some tribulation, is accepted into it. Over the next several scenes, it is shown how the Oms have adapted to life on the Draags' planet. Using Tiva's headset and acquired knowledge, the Om tribe achieves literacy. After staging an impromptu resistance, the Oms discover they are going to be de-Omized. A great many Oms perish, but a sizable number escapes.
The humans survive Draag attempts to de-Omize them by using organized shelters, but the Draags' updated technologies become ever more aggressive. The Oms reverse engineer Draag rockets and launch a manned mission toward the Savage Planet. They discover the greatest weakness of the Draag species: the secret to their method of reproduction. This critical point in the war between Draags and Oms presents a hard decision for the Draags, to choose peace or war.

This article possibly contains original research. (August 2008) |
The film is chiefly noted for its surreal imagery, the work of French writer and artist Roland Topor. The landscape of the Draag planet is full of strange creatures, including a cackling predator which traps small fluttering animals in its cage-like nose, shakes them to death and hurls them to the ground. The Draag practice of meditation, whereby they commune psychically with each other and with different species, is shown in transformations of their shape and colour.
It is considered one of the first examples of film which introduce the theme of speciesism.
The interaction of science and superstition is most apparent in the Wizard, who resists the knowledge that Terr brings, fearing it will erode the power he maintains. Knowledge trumps ignorance, but in this case only after surviving an attempted assassination.
Terr's drive to share knowledge overpowers the fear of an unknown people. Only his courage to save others not of his adopted tribe allows that tribe to overcome the loss of their leader.
The Draags and Oms finally learn to live in peace and mutual benefit; presumably any groups can if they and their leaders really want to. This may have been a theme favoured by the filmmakers as it was made and released during the Cold War (the source novel was first published in 1957).
The music was composed by Alain Goraguer.[5]

Video releases[edit]
- Burnt-in English subtitles on Anchor Bay's USA DVD release spell the name of the blue-skinned species as "Draag"; the original novel the film is based on spells it as "Traag".
- In 2006, Eureka Entertainment released the film on DVD in the UK as #34 in their Masters of Cinema range. Unlike the Anchor Bay release, this uses an anamorphic widescreen transfer and newly translated subtitles which retain the "Draag" spelling. This version was released in Region 1 on October 23, 2007. In August 2010, Eureka released a restored high-definition transfer of the film on Blu-ray Disc, with special features including a collection of Laloux's short films, and a 27-minute documentary called Laloux sauvage. Eureka, a London-based company, has only produced the edition as a region B release.
- On October 23, 2007 Facets Video and Accent Cinema released a newly restored version of the film on DVD, including many bonus features never available before. It is different from the version released by Eureka.
Televised airings[edit]
RTV (Retro Television Network) ran "Fantastic Planet" on January 2, 2011, as part of its Off Beat Cinema presentation originally aired in Buffalo, NY by WKBW-TV, channel 7. "Fantastic Planet" appeared at least once in the 1980s on USA Network's Night Flight weekend program. In the United Kingdom and Ireland it has been shown on the Sky Arts channel and has been available on demand via the Sky Anytime service.

Urging A Plan for Growth
Saturday, July 5, 2008
For more than 30 years, Maryland has had a law on the books requiring officials to write a plan describing how the state should grow and develop. But with most land-use decisions made locally, and with little public pressure to create a wider vision for Maryland, no one sat down to write it.
This year, that could change.
The administration of Gov. Martin O'Malley (D), concerned about the potential effect of unchecked growth on the water supply, greenhouse gases and the Chesapeake Bay, has been quietly setting the stage for the creation of a statewide plan to guide development.
If officials succeed, Maryland will become one of a handful of states to knit together ideas from traditionally feuding factions and create a blueprint for what the state should look like two decades from now.
"One of the problems we have had in Maryland is getting the growth to go where we want it to go," said Richard Eberhart Hall, the state's planning chief. "Just because we have mapped smart-growth areas and identified them doesn't mean there is as much growth there as we would like to see."
For example, planners would like to see growth along sections of the Interstate 95 corridor between Washington and Baltimore where there are train and bus connections to the two cities but development has been slow. Similarly, in Montgomery County, development along Metro's Red Line has lagged behind what has occurred along Metro lines in parts of Northern Virginia such as Arlington's Ballston neighborhood.
Hall said the purpose of a state plan is not to dictate local development from Annapolis but to establish guiding principles that discourage sprawl and promote clusters of development near transit, water supplies, schools and other amenities.
"There are some groups that are sensitive about a big plan that pays no attention to what they are doing and tells them what they should be doing," said Hall, a career planner appointed by O'Malley to the state post last year.
"That's not our intention. We want to articulate state policy, how it manifests itself on the landscape and how it all comes together," he said.
That may assuage groups such as the Maryland Association of Counties, whose members exert substantial influence over land use.
"Traditionally in Maryland, local land-use decisions have been made at the local level," said Les Knapp, a lobbyist for the organization. "That's not to say we don't want a state plan, we just don't want one that usurps our authority."
The surge in gas prices this year, now more than $4 a gallon and rising, may be just what the planners need to gain support for their efforts. Within a matter of weeks, the market has presented immediate and painful financial incentives for residents and developers to combat suburban sprawl.

With the holidays approaching, everyone's spirits seem to soar. Festivities and family gatherings offer opportunities to make new friendships and re-establish old ties. Most people look forward to this season. Unfortunately, some people find the holiday depressing. Those without family or even those with family can get the blues because of circumstances. Some people just find the season stressful. What you may not realize is that one of those unhappy persons could be your child.
Holidays are not the only source of depression. School and peer pressure can create stress which can lead to depression. Children live their lives at a faster pace these days. They are involved in more activities. Technology and the internet has made it possible to produce more in less time. It also provides a very visible and public forum which can be abused by mean spirited kids. Children are being publicly bullied and humiliated. Those that have been bullied have been known to commit suicide. Last week a 15 year old boy armed with guns took his class hostage for a number of hours. When police finally got in to apprehend him, he shot and killed himself. Those who claim to know him seemed perplexed. They couldn't imagine why this seemingly well-adjusted boy would do such a thing. Well, we all know that well-adjusted happy kids DO NOT do such a thing.
Depression knows no age. According to statstics, about 3 of every hundred children are diagnosed with depression. While that number may not seem alarming, it is still significant. And that number only takes into account those with an official diagnosis. Depression is not easy to detect inn children. Adults often can't even recognize the symptoms in themselves. It is even less obvious in children. So as a parent, you need to be attuned to any changes in your child's behavior. Below is a list of possible symptoms.
In very young children developmental delays can occur or lack of speech and other missed milestones. Children can become hyperactive and fidgety (also a sign of ADHD). They can become reckless or become obsessed with an activity.
The problem for parents is in determining if the behavior is normal or a sign of depression. All children exhibit these symptoms during development. If there is a change in behavior and it is persistent (more than a few weeks), it is a good idea to take your child to a doctor. Most children have a hard time verbalizing their feelings. They may not be able to tell you they feel sad. A doctor can rule out any physical issues, and can refer you to a specialist in mental health if necessary. If your child is fine, then no harm done. But if your child really is depressed, you will have taken the first steps in the right direction.

Uncharted PS3 Bundle Arrives this Fall, Includes 160GB HDD

341w ago
- With the PlayStation 3 40GB model slowly being phased out, it's time to make room for a brand-new addition to the PS3 hardware lineup - an Uncharted Drake's Fortune PS3 bundle.
In North America specifically, it's slated to hit in November at an MSRP of $499.99 and includes the aforementioned game, a voucher for PSN title PAIN, a DualShock 3 wireless controller, and a 160GB hard drive.
Over in Europe, the bundle is due out October 31. Configuration-wise there will be no difference, aside from the fact that it'll include an "additional PSN title," according to SCEE, which may or may not be PAIN.
Sony was quick to mention that this bundle will retain "all the same functionality" as the new 80GB that's popping up on retail shelves here in the U.S. That means no backwards compatibility, but you should be used to that now.
Press Release: Sony Computer Entertainment America Announces Limited-Edition Uncharted: Drake's Fortune(TM) PLAYSTATION(R)3 Bundle Featuring New 160GB PS3(TM) System
PS3 Bundle Includes Uncharted: Drake's Fortune(TM), PLAYSTATION(R)Network Voucher for PAIN and DUALSHOCK(R)3 Wireless Controller, Offering Tremendous Value to Consumers
FOSTER CITY, Calif., Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced plans to introduce a new 160GB PlayStation 3 (PS3) computer entertainment system in North America as part of the limited-edition Uncharted: Drake's Fortune PS3 system bundle.
The increased storage size enables entertainment enthusiasts to store even more movies, television shows, and games downloaded from PlayStation Network, as well as more videos, music, and photos from their personal collection. Slated to launch in November for $499.99 (MSRP), the 160GB PS3 system will come bundled with the hit game, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, a PlayStation Network voucher for Pain, and a DualShock 3 wireless controller. The previously announced 80GB PS3 system ($399.99 MSRP) has started shipping to retailers.
"As PlayStation Network continues to evolve with our recently launched video delivery service and more exclusive games, PS3 owners are demanding more storage capacity," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA. "Consumers also are utilizing PS3 as an entertainment hub for their digital media, placing content such as their entire music collection on the hard drive. The 160GB PS3 system addresses this growing consumer demand in a compelling bundle that delivers significant value."
The Uncharted: Drake's Fortune PS3 bundle includes the following components:
-- 160GB PS3 system -- The 160GB PS3 is a complete entertainment system comprising a Blu-ray Disc player, HDMI output, an integrated Wi-Fi connection, and Cell Broadband Engine.
-- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune -- A 400-year-old clue found in the coffin of Sir Francis Drake sets a modern-day fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, on an exploration for the fabled treasure of El Dorado, leading to the discovery of a forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The search turns deadly when Drake becomes stranded on the island and hunted by mercenaries. Outnumbered and outgunned, Drake and his companions must fight to survive as they begin to unravel the terrible secrets hidden on the Island.
-- Pain PlayStation Network Voucher* -- Pain boldly tackles a rarely explored area of video-gaming... comedy. The unique mechanic of the game allows the player to load a character into a human-sized, ultra-powerful slingshot, and fire the character into an active, physics-controlled environment, filled with precarious and humorous situations. Download Pain from PlayStation Store (http://store.playstation.com) to your PS3 system with the included voucher.
-- DualShock 3 Wireless Controller -- DualShock 3 wireless controller provides the most intuitive game play experience with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive Sixaxis motion sensing technology.
The additional storage space of the 160GB model will benefit consumers, as several highly anticipated PlayStation Network and PS3 games along with add-on content will be available for download soon, including Pain Amusement Park, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation, and The Last Guy. The bundle is also a great option for consumers who want to utilize PlayStation Network's video delivery service, which offers new blockbuster movies and popular TV shows for download on an ongoing basis.
PS3 momentum has soared in 2008, starting with Blu-ray becoming the high-definition standard and following the launches of key franchise titles, including Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. That momentum will continue into the holidays and beyond, as PS3's software lineup will offer the most depth and breadth of any platform across the industry, delivering highly anticipated exclusives such as BUZZ!: Quiz TV, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, MotorStorm Pacific Rift, and Killzone 2.

One Cost-Cutting Measure Could Jeopardize Health of Housing Privatization Projects
- February 2, 2014
- comments: 1
The Defense Department has discussed a number of reforms needed to rein in costs and sustain a robust force structure, with changes to compensation and benefit costs one of its highest priorities. One adjustment officials have broached, however, reducing or freezing the basic allowance for housing (BAH), could "seriously impair" the military's housing privatization program, according to a commentary in Multi-Housing News. Because initial investment decisions in individual projects were predicated on modest increases in the monthly allowance given to service members for housing costs, an across-the-board rate increase or a tiered reduction based on rank will have an immediate impact on owners and managers of privatized housing projects, writes Paula Cino, senior director of energy and environmental policy for the National Multifamily Housing Council …

How to Block NDR Spam
GFI Software
Written By:
(Originally Published On:)
Research shows that up to 90 percent of e-mail received by companies is spam. In the beginning, spam was mainly text-based, but over the past few years, spammers are increasingly using embedded images and attaching common file types, such as mp3s, to gain access to mailboxes. Learn more about the types of spam out there, focusing on NDR, or non-delivery report spam—and how you can block it.

The Guide to Google Apps Training: Part Two: How to Secure a Google Apps Domain
Datto, Inc.
Written By:
You don't have control over attempted attacks on your domain, but putting the right security systems in place means you can block access to your data and your domain. Google Apps provides users with a wide variety of customizable options to ensure that a domain is secure. Google Apps features stringent user access controls, governing how and when selected users gain access to the domain, and a disaster recovery system in order to retrieve any data compromised due to a security breach.
In this white paper, learn the basic systems and settings for a variety of security features, including development of domain recovery options, enforcement of secure sockets layer (SSL) connections, how to configure two-factor authorization for maximum mobile security, and the importance of auditing and setting long minimums for passwords. You'll also read how the Google Apps system works to create the best mobile security for your domain, and how installation of a Google Apps Device Policy can further protect your domain in case of device theft. Get information on the disaster recovery features included in the core Google Apps, and how third-party systems such as Backupify can be added to further strengthen data recovery options, ensuring that duplicate copies of documents are available. Through these controls, users can be assured that their domain data is secure.

How is the state Department of Public Safety going to find the time and money to investigate the 64,000 possible cases of voter fraud referred to it by New Mexico Secretary of State Dianna Duran? With state budgets being slashed by the last several legislative sessions, doesn't it seem logical that the state police Special Investigations Division has more important cases to handle? For years, Republicans have worried that Democrats win elections by cheating. The cheating involves disappearing ballots, ballot boxes that suddenly appear when they are needed or long lines of voters at the polls, with a dollar bill or half-pint of whiskey in their pockets.
Professional publicists recommend press releases to deliver business news to the media for broadcast to potential customers. Publicity of this kind is free and can often be done by a business owner or someone who works for her company. If the media publish the story, the business stands to gain the goodwill of existing customers and attract new ones. The result can be increased sales at a cost of only the time it takes to write and distribute the release. But the average newsroom receives hundreds of e-mails and faxes every day, only a fraction of which are published. Competition for print space and airtime means press releases need to be creative, factual and informative.
The Jemez casino at Anthony doesn't look nearly as sure today as it did a month ago when the Bureau of Indian Affairs issued a very rosy draft environmental impact study of the proposal. Evidently the draft was prepared by the Jemez Pueblo for the BIA's consideration. The negative side of the proposal was not mentioned. But now it is coming out. The Jemez Pueblo wants to build a casino at Anthony, south of Las Cruces to attract the large population in the El Paso and Juarez area, which don't have casinos. Jemez has the misfortune of not being located on a major highway. So it has petitioned the BIA to allow it to locate a casino on land it would purchase almost 300 miles to the south.
Other than spending money, much of the work of our Legislature involves creating new rules or tinkering, changing this or that little thing. For example, the penalty for leaving a pasture gate open, potentially allowing livestock to escape, used to be $5 to $10. Now the fine ranges from $250 to $1,000, thanks to House Bill 391, one of two animal and livestock bills to pass the 2011 session of Legislature and survive Gov. Susana Martinez's veto pen. The new gate non-closure fine is mentioned in the Highlights report issued last month by the Legislative Council Service. The report emphasizes policy changes.
Two young adults sit alone, staring into each other's eyes. They move closer. Closer. A smile slowly forms on their faces and the man reaches into his pocket to take out a packet designed especially for this occasion. But it's empty! His smile quickly morphs into panic. He rushes to the pharmacy, but it's closed. He needs that packet. His girlfriend won't wait forever. What is he to do? And then he sees a friend in a nearby steamed up car, knocks on the window, and his friend gives him what he needs.
Things are obviously not peaches and cream between Republican Gov. Susana Martinez and her Republican Lt. Gov. John Sanchez. You'll recall that following their election last November, the then governor-elect trundled into Santa Fe to begin the process of setting up her incoming administration. Simultaneously, she cut the lieutenant governor-elect out of that process by dispatching him on a jaunt around the state to find out what business folks thought needed to be done to improve the state's economy. It smelled fishy at the time and it still does.
The Democratic U.S. senate primary is likely to be as hard fought and negative as the GOP primary. The two races have much in common. Both contests feature a U.S. house member or former member, representing Albuquerque, against an opponent who has won a statewide election. In the GOP primary, former Rep. Heather Wilson and Lt. Gov. John Sanchez do battle. In the Democratic primary, Rep. Martin Heinrich and state Auditor Hector Balderas face off. Wilson represented Albuquerque for more than 10 years, never losing an election. She left her seat and unsuccessfully ran statewide in the 2008 GOP senate primary to replace Sen. Pete Domenici.
A good number of state department executive offices took a larger percentage budget cut in this year's legislative session than did the activity the office directs. This sends a good signal; the executives suffer more than the workers. The insight, presented in the continuing quest for better understanding of what state government does, comes from the Legislative Finance Committee's "2011 Post-Session Review." See www.nmlegis.gov/lcs/lfc/lfcfiscal.aspx.
We won't have Qwest to kick around any more. We have a new provider to kick around. If you think this doesn't affect you because you have another provider of telephone and Internet services, think again. Like the song says, the thigh bone's connected to the hip bone. Everybody in New Mexico is connected to Qwest, one way or another, and so are our plans for improved broadband (high-speed) connections.
Rules have always been essential to sports, society and the economy. Regulation is the process of using rules. As with any process, a focus on efficiency pays off. Big-time tennis nowadays settles disputed line calls with a tool called Hawk-Eye. In 10 seconds, the system's computer reconstructs the ball's flight from sets of camera data and shows the line and landing spot on the big screen. Fans cheer for the gee whiz verdict and tennis resumes. In the old days, a close line call was the start of John McEnroe's barking infamies at the chair umpire in three-minute-long tirades. Remember? The McEnroe model still reigns in the regulatory world. In stark contrast, efficiency depends on Hawk-Eye ideas.
