PlayStation Vita
I'm sorry but if the Vita $250 when launched it will end up like PSP ..UNLESS
kdognumba1 posted...
I don't see them dropping price any time soon. Even if the sales aren't super hot, fact of the matter is digital sales, playstation plus, and data plans = big money earners.
I sincerely hope nobody falls for the data plan.

Worthy of some salt pouring on a bloodied part." - Unexpect
I OBJECT!!! dudes IF piracy hits the Vita like it did PSP than it will be doomed. I don't think PSP sold millions mainly of piracy, most hardcore fanboys already had the PSP before hacking became popular. after the first 2 years the psp was on a slow halt then that's when all the casual gamers started coming in and that's where I believe PSP got most of its sales, not MAINLY to all the homebrew crap................ALSO the PS3 got hacked last year and nothing has changed in the gap between PS3/360.. 360 still in the lead. So I don't think all this homebrew stuff=sales. nope not me.

There are a ton of preorders already -- they're not gonna pull the Nintendo move because the 3DS sold poorly for it's poor value at the same price point, with a very weak library, whereas the Vita will soon after launch have a huge back catalogue of multiple generation games, and more advanced hardware for the price
It doesn't matter how much value it has, the only thing that matters is if people buy it.
So if Nintendo changed the name of the Wii - U, would the be pulling a U-Wii?
^ Which is obviously determined in large part by their perception of it's value.
Ofcourse this thing is going to do better than the PSP, it's preorders right now is off the hype, not about the good games that will be available. You never hear anyone talking about can't wait to play that uncharted because we all know it's prob. a predicable sequel instead of a full blown original game. Prequels are ok but sometimes the story isn't all that so so when you can predict what will happen in the end hence PREQUEL..
And you don't want the Vita to end up like the PSP, it only survived because it was the only second choice you had for an handheld. people that got tired of the DS went to the PSP. So Sony should support this thing like they are trying to take the crown from Nintendo, not that "build our own market" crap, no you want that spot from nintendo which guarantees victory!!!!!! yes baby!

The psp has sold over 70 million systems to date at that same price point and that was with horrible marketing and an inconsistent, at best, catalog of quality games. I know this isn't the same market as when the psp 1st launched, but as long as sony markets this system better and gets quality developers to continue developing quality games exclusive to the system it shouldn't have much of a problem surpassing the psp in sales or in it's gaming catalog.
^^^^ No, but you are right it's a different market now. It's going to take more than showing a bunch of commercials. Yeah that would of been the case during psp days. People have already got their view on the PSP 2 from the PSP so you have to change their minds. those 70million PSP owners are all Sony has right now and >MAYBE< like 10 million DS users to per sway (the rest of DS owners are kids 12 n below n which mom want buy them a psp

There's news today of an HTC executive saying the company will have Windows Mobile 7 devices in the first quarter of 2009. That may or may not be true, but assuming that it is, my guess is that among the first devices from HTC will be a Windows Mobile 7 netbook. The momentum is growing for low-priced, small laptop form-factor devices so you can bet HTC won't be waiting two to three years to jump on this market. We can debate the success of the HTC Shift, their entry into the UMPC market, but here's what I'm thinking. If you call the Shift a failure, it's not due mainly to the form factor; it's likely due to the comparably lower resolution screen coupled with the pairing of Vista with the Intel A1xx CPU.
So what if you took the Shift form factor with a few tweaks and popped in a decent CPU with Windows Mobile 7? Granted, you won't have x86 program compatibility, but based on rumors that WinMo 7 will be robust enough for a Mobile Internet Device or Netbook to combat mobile Linux distros. There's a ton of third-party applications out there for Windows Mobile… anyone else thinking along the same lines as me? Would you be interested in a small notebook form factor with Windows Mobile 7? I'm expecting to see such a device at CES 2009.

I purchased this exuisite Vera Wang Luxe gown for my September wedding in 2012. I tried on many dresses but nothing came close to Hilary, friends and family still talk about this stunning dress.
Hilary is really a work of art, because there are so many layers of the most exquisite laces all mended together, creating a really rich texture. It's like putting on a Rolls Royce!
Even though Hilary's silhouette is column-like, very sleek and streamlined, there are so many different elements in this dress; it's a collage. Every single piece of this dress is made with a different kind of texture. But everything is combined so beautifully, so that you get a lot of detail that comes through in the layers, while still appearing very seamless and crisp overall.
You can see this especially in the train of the dress: how there's just so much richness that shines through all the various levels. The train is layered with a new type of lace that we're calling "honeycomb Chantilly." It's a Chantilly lace pattern with big, almost diamond-shaped holes. And then you have re-embroidered lace with Guipure lace on top of that, as well as an array of floating organza floral sprigs very gently drifting, almost like blossoms in a bowl of water.
Because lace is so thick by nature, when you use a lot of different laces you have to be really careful about the way in which you mend them together. You don't want to end up with a lot of bulk and heaviness—especially when using a denser lace like Guipure, even the exaggerated, blown-up version of it that I used here. That's why I varied the amount of Guipure lace as you move from top to bottom. At the bodice, it's very dense, and then gradually it disperses.
This is definitely a dress for the Romanticist who still wants to be modern—it's opulent, but understated.
- Alterations: I used a specialist atelier in Belgravia to make minor alterations to top & lower hip. I really wanted to create the perfect curve and paid £1000 (sterling) to make improvements to the dress. I chose not to alter the length, I am 5'6'' without heels and wore 3.5 inch Manolos on the day.
- Preservation Method: Professionally dry cleaned using a Vera Wang specialist in Mayfair, London & boxed for secure shipment.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt:
- Location: London, OT
- Will Ship to: Anywhere at Buyer Expense

Atrial fibrillation on the rise in US: researchers
By Amanda Beck
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The number of people with a
dangerous heart arrhythmia is higher than previously estimated
and increasing, researchers reported on Monday.
In a study of Minnesota residents, the incidence of atrial
fibrillation rose more than 12 percent between 1980 and 2000,
the researchers said.
At that rate, the number of U.S. residents with the rhythm
will rise to 16 million by 2050 — nearly three times previous
estimates, they added.
"This is a major problem for our country," said Dr. Teresa
Tsang, senior author of the study to be published in
Circulation: Journal of The American Heart Association. "Unless
we are able to prevent atrial fibrillation, it will exact a
major toll on our healthcare resources in the coming years."
Atrial fibrillation is a condition in which the heart's
upper chambers quiver instead of beating regularly. This
arrhythmia increases the risk of stroke, heart failure,
cognitive impairment and death.
Many people do not experience heart palpitations, shortness
of breath or other symptoms that would bring the condition to
the attention of a health care provider, Tsang explained.
Scientists do not know the cause of the condition, but its
risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes, and
valvular heart disease. Recent data have also indicated that
obesity is a risk.
The rise in U.S. obesity mirrored the rise in the
arrhythmia and might explain 60 percent of the new cases in
Tsang's study, she said.
Researchers identified more than 4,500 adults in Olmsted
County, Minnesota whose medical records showed at least one
incidence of atrial fibrillation and confirmed its presence
with an electrocardiogram.
Based on this data, the study estimated that 5.1 million
Americans currently live with the condition. That's nearly
twice as many as estimated by other studies, which have
examined patients in health maintenance organizations only.
"Even with this number, we still believe that we're
underestimating the prevalence," Tsang said.

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is confident of keeping together his squad.
Pardew says he'll only sell for an outlandish offer.
Asked if he could foresee any departures, Pardew told the Evening Chronicle: "You've got to be on your guard. You're always vulnerable to a top, top club coming in and blowing us out of the water. We're keeping our eyes on everything.
"We've got some very good players here, and that's what I think some of our fans should focus on a little bit.
"We've got Sissoko - who's had five months in the division and will be better for it - and we've got Cabaye, who's as good as I've ever seen him.
"Papiss looks really well now now he's had that training. We've got Mapou, Colo and Tayls. We've got two great goalies and an Italian international full-back in Santon."

Credits & Thanks | GZZ00 | '=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-' =============================================================================== 01.) INTRODUCTION G0100 =============================================================================== Welcome to 'Police Quest 2: The Vengeance' for the PC, an adventure game by Sierra released in 1988. It is the direct sequel to Sierra's 'Police Quest' which should be played the finished before attempting this. Otherwise you may miss out on some story and lack an overall feel for the characters. The walkthrough for this game is complete and includes a point list. By following the walkthrough you will also get all points in the game. If you spot any errors or have suggestions please feel free to e-mail me about it. Enjoy! =============================================================================== 02.) BASICS G0200 =============================================================================== Control your character with the arrow keys, Home, End, Page Up/Down or use the Numpad keys. F1..........................Help F2..................Sound On/Off F3........................ReType F4....................Enter/Exit F5..........................Save F7..........................Load F8..............Draw/Holster Gun F9.......................Restart F10.....................Fire Gun CTRL+Q......................Quit The walkthrough uses commands instead of shortcut keys for the gun. If you wish just replace them as you go. At the end it is even advised to use the shortcut instead of retype. The game doesn't care much for grammar and instead of "LOOK AT THE CAR" you can simply type "LOOK CAR". This guide uses working inputs but you can replace them with different words the game understands (e.g. 'get' instead of 'take'). If the game doesn't understand something it will tell you. Only at a few points during the game it is picky about the words you chose for an action. All commands in the guide are in CAPS. You might notice sometimes the guide also lacks grammar, this is intentional because the commands are also lacking them and it is easier to come across if ignored. The number in the ()s is the number of points you get during the game and the second number is the amount you should have at this point if you've been following this guide. All points are listed again in the point list for a quick overview. =============================================================================== 03.) WALKTHROUGH G0300 =============================================================================== First you need to enter the ID of the convicts. If you are too lazy to check simply use CTRL+M to bypass them quickly (this may not work on all versions of the game, you can probably find the IDs printed somewhere online these days). ___Lytton PD___ --------- You start in your car at the PD. TAKE KEY (1, 1), OPEN COMPARTMENT and TAKE CARD (1, 2). OPEN DOOR to get outside and OPEN DOOR to the station. Go into the locker room at the top, just left of the window. Your locker is the lowest on the west wall. OPEN LOCKER with '36', '4', '12' (5, 7) and TAKE GUN (1, 8), TAKE AMMO (1, 9) and TAKE CUFFS (1, 10). Now exit the room and go all the way right into the shooting range. ASK PROTECTORS (2, 12) at the counter and go through the sliding door to the empty spot. WEAR PROTECTORS and RAISE GUN if necessary. SHOOT at the target once and LOWER GUN. VIEW to get a close look at how you did. LOOK TARGET will reveal how much you need to ADJUST GUN. Use left, right, up and down for corrections and press Enter. REPLACE TARGET and BACK. RAISE GUN and SHOOT again. Continue this procedure until the shots are aligned (5, 17). Empty your current clip and leave the booth. ASK AMMO (2, 19) at the counter to refill your lost clips and LOAD GUN, do this if you ran out of ammo before adjusting your gun as well. When you have exited the shooting range, stand next to the box just where you are at and OPEN BIN. TAKE KIT (2, 21) and then walk into the upper door at the left hand side. After the captain has stopped talking to you, LOOK PAPERS (1, 22) on his desk to get some passwords you need soon. Go to the north wall memo board and LOOK BOARD (1, 23). TAKE KEY (1, 24) and walk to the file cabinet in the corner. OPEN CABINET and get the BAINS file. TAKE PICTURE (1, 25) and DROP FILE again. CLOSE CABINET and SIT at your desk in the middle of the room. LOOK BASKET (1, 26) and UNLOCK DRAWER. TAKE LETTER (1, 27) and TAKE WALLET (1, 28). STAND and go over to the computer. LOOK COMPUTER, then TURN ON the computer. CD and DIR will automatically ask you for a directory so no need to press enter. You need to press enter after you have inputted directory names and passwords however. So start with CD - directory: CRIMINAL. CD - directory: VICE password: MIAMI. (2, 30) CD - directory: PERSONNEL password: PISTACHIO. (2, 32) DIR gives you a listing so select the 'Pratt, Lloyd' file. EXIT and leave the office. Go inside the door just next to where you come from to get to the narcotics office. The guy in the bottom-left corner is Lloyds you just read about so you should be ASK INVESTIGATION (5, 37) for him to check into rehabilitation. Before you leave, check in with the Captain and then exit the station completely. OPEN TRUNK to the left car and DROP KIT into it. CLOSE TRUNK, walk over to the driver side and UNLOCK DOOR. OPEN DOOR to get in and Keith will come rushing out too. DRIVE TO JAIL. Note: If you still get a dispatch about the Captain being mad at you for leaving you didn't go to see him properly. Just walking into the room and him telling you something before you want to drive off to somewhere should be enough. ___County Jail___ ----------- OPEN LOCKER at the left of the door and DROP GUN (3, 40). CLOES LOCKER and PUSH BUTTON at the right of the door. SHOW ID when prompted to get inside. Walk up to the jailer and ASK CAR (1, 41) and ASK SAXTON (1, 42). Saxton will come in at the left side so walk over to him. ASK ESCAPE (2, 44). Return to the jailer and ASK BAINS FILE. When he returns, TAKE PICTURE (2, 46) and DROP FILE. ASK PATE'S FILE (2, 48) and DROP FILE again. Leave and OPEN LOCKER to TAKE GUN back. OPEN DOOR to your car and DRIVE TO MALL. ___Oak Tree Mall___ ------------- OPEN TRUNK to your car and TAKE KIT. CLOSE TRUNK and walk over to the sports car. OPEN DOOR to look inside and DUST COMPARTMENT. USE TAPE ON COMPARTMENT to life a finger print (3, 51) and finally OPEN COMPARTMENT. TAKE HOLSTER (1, 52) and TAKE BULLETS (1, 53). CLOSE DOOR to leave this view and a woman will come in with the police officer. ASK CAR (3, 56) and OPEN TRUNK to your car to DROP KIT. CLOSE TRUNK, OPEN CAR and USE RADIO (3, 59). DRIVE COVER. ___Cotton Cove___ ----------- ASK BLOOD to the jogger (2, 61) and DRAW GUN. Walk left on screen and towards the middle. When Bains shoots, quickly SHOOT (4, 65) back and then lower your gun with F8. Go back to the first screen and OPEN DOOR to the car. PURSUE BAINS (2, 67). Soon you'll have to DRIVE COVE again. OPEN TRUNK, GET KIT and CLOSE TRUNK. Go left two screens and MOVE GARBAGE in the can. TAKE CLOTHES (1, 68) and LOOK TAG (2, 70). At the top-left corner is some blood on the floor - LOOK BLOOD (1, 71), USE CAMERA (1, 72), TAKE BLOOD (2, 74) and finally TAKE FOOTPRINT (2, 76). Go right and wait for the diving team to arrive. LOOK IN WALLET (2, 78) and tell the man to DIVE IN. Get inside the van and pick up various equipment: TAKE FINS, TAKE VEST, TAKE BELT, TAKE MASK, TAKE SUIT, TAKE TANK 1 and LOOK AT TANK. The tank should display 2200 (2, 80). If not, DROP TANK, TAKE TANK 2 and LOOK AT TANK etc. EXIT to dive into the river (6, 86). First TAKE BADGE (2, 88) which is next a rock in this screen, looks yellow. Swim left one screen and TAKE KNIFE (2, 90) in the middle, a longish gray stick. Swim all the way right, careful not to get caught in the current and MOVE ROCK at the side of the screen. LOOK BODY and TAKE BODY (5, 95). All done here so get back to your car, OPEN TRUNK, DROP KIT and CLOSE TRUNK. OPEN DOOR and CALL CORONER (2, 97). DRIVE AIRPORT. ___Lytton Airport___ -------------- OPEN TRUNK, TAKE KIT and CLOSE TRUNK. Go over to the black car and LOOK CAR. OPEN DOOR at the lower passenger side, LOOK NUMBER (1, 98) and DUST MIRROR. TAKE PRINT (3, 101) and CLOSE DOOR again. OPEN DOOR to your car and USE RADIO (2, 103). EXIT. OPEN TRUNK at your car, DROP KIT and CLOSE TRUNK. Go north to the next screen. PUSH BUTTON (1, 104) at the left-hand side to get across safely. When the lady arrives BUY ROSE (3, 106) from her. Enter the terminal and go into the men's room at the west of the terminal. Inside, OPEN DOOR to the middle stall and OPEN TOILET. Now LOOK TANK and TAKE GUN (4, 110) out. EXIT this screen and walk over to the hand dryer. TURN ON DRYER and DRY GUN (2, 112). Leave the men's room and exit the screen at the top-left corner. SHOW ID to the female employee at the car rental agency counter and SHOW PICTURE (1, 113). ASK LIST (3, 116) and leave the way you came in. Talk to the woman at the ticket counter by SHOW ID. SHOW PICTURE (1, 117) and also ASK LIST (3, 120). Leave the airport terminal and PUSH BUTTON (1, 121) to get across the road once again.

Once he finally does, EAT FOOD (1, 145). PAY WAITER (2, 147) to end this day. You don't need to wait for the waiter to come back for the latter. The next day... ___Lytton PD___ --------- TAKE KEYS and EXIT. OPEN DOOR to the PD and go into your office. TAKE KEY from the memo board and SIT at your desk. USE PHONE to dial 407-555-3323.

Now ASK KEY (3, 177) to room 108 which is at the right side of the ground floor. First OPEN TRUNK, TAKE KIT and CLOSE TRUNK. Now stand beside the motel door and OPEN DOOR (3, 180). The gunshot will have missed you. Wait for the tear gas to clear and holster the gun. In the bathroom at the back, TAKE CARD (3, 183). At the top side of the bed, TAKE LIPSTICK (3, 186). At the bottom side of the bed, OPEN DRAWER and TAKE ENVELOPE. READ ENVELOPE (2, 188). TAKE BLOOD (1, 189) at the corner of the bed and leave the room. OPEN TRUNK, DROP KIT, CLOSE TRUNK.

OPEN DOOR to the unmarked car and DRIVE AIRPORT. ___Airport___ ------- Go up one screen, PUSH BUTTON to get across and enter the terminal. Walk up to the ticket desk and BUY TICKET TO STEELTON. After the short conversation with Keith BUY TICKET TO STEELTON (3, 208) again. Walk to the car rental screen and go up the escalator. Walk through the metal detector and SHOW BADGE (2, 210) to the lady when she asks for your metal objects. TALK MAN to Larry Laffer from LSL2 if you wish, a nice Easter egg. Walk through the tunnel at the left-hand side to get to the plane. Keith will follow shortly. ___Plane___ ----- SIT at your seat and FASTEN SEATBELT (1, 211) when asked to. After the plane has taken off, the flight attendance will come up and offer drinks. NO thank you. UNFASTEN SEATBELT and wait a while until two middle eastern men come barging in and one takes the flight attendance hostage. DRAW GUN and when she falls to the ground SHOOT the man and quickly SHOOT the other man coming through the door (9, 220). After this SEARCH POCKETS (3, 223) of the left guy and LOOK TURBAN (3, 226) of the other one. The paper has instructions of how to make a bomb so you need to do the opposite. Go south into the bathroom and OPEN DISPENSER (2, 228). DISCONNECT YELLOW WIRE (3, 231) DISCONNECT PURPLE WIRE (3, 234) DISCONNECT BLUE WIRE (3, 237) CONNECT YELLOW WIRE (3, 240) DISCONNECT WHITE WIRE (3, 243) DISCONNECT YELLOW WIRE (3, 246) EXIT and leave the bathroom. You'll soon land in Steelton. ___Steelton PD___ ----------- Walk into the office and after the chat with the lieutenant TAKE RADIO (3, 249) and leave. ___Burton Park___ ----------- Go north and west on screen. Wait for the man to appear and quickly USE RADIO (5, 254) to call Keith. When he comes back, TALK MAN (2, 256) and READ RIGHTS (2, 258). Go right two screens and LOOK COVER (1, 259) just as you enter. It's slightly hidden at the bottom part of the screen. MOVE COVER (2, 261) and CLIMB LADDER down into the sewers. Go east, east and south in this screen. You must be quick because it has methane gas which can kill you quickly. If you are fast enough you can make it but if you still have trouble you might consider finding an alternative route but you shouldn't need to. Save and try a few times, the controls aren't too friendly I guess. Anyway, go south and west. OPEN CABINET and TAKE MASK (4, 265). Go west one more screen and WEAR MASK. Walk south twice and east. Save before you walk past the hole in the wall, there is a possibility you get pushed into the sewers by a strong current. Perhaps it happens if you walk too closely. Either way you should end up at a door so enter it to find Marie tied to a chair (10, 275). CALM MARIE (5, 280) and UNTIE MARIE (5, 285). Walk over to the large pipe at the left-hand side and DRAW GUN. When Bains walks in, wait for him to see you and take a shot until you SHOOT at him until he dies (15, 300). I recommend using the F10 shortcut for this as you need to be fast and it takes 2-3 bullets to kill him. Also if you shoot first you have just violated the law and get the bad ending. If he shoots first it will count as self-defence. Watch the ending, the good one preferably. =============================================================================== 04.)

FAQ GXX00 =============================================================================== Q: Can I do anything with the car at the beginning of the game? A: As you start the game you are in your personal car and the keys are in the ignition. You can actually drive around town with this car until at one point a traffic cop pulls you over and sends you back to the station and placing you inside. You can almost drive anywhere in your car before starting the real game and the developers seemed to have this in mind. [contributed by Kevin Frushour] Q: Why does "Let's Roll" seem so familiar? A: Pre-9/11 you would not have heard about this term much and it is more of a coincidence it appears in the game. However, when the terrorists are threatening the plane you can pause the game and Keith smokes while it says that all cops need to take a break. At that point you can actually unpause the game with the button labeled "Let's Roll". Post-9/11 this can be seen as a battle cry like Todd Beamer used on Flight 93 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%27s_roll) when the terrorists had taken over the airplane.

Coaching, competition keys to developing growing crop of local baseball talent
For Jordan Rodgers, the light bulb moment came in May, when he looked at the rosters for the State Farm Shelby County All-Star Game at USA Stadium.
"Honestly, you don't realize it when you're on the field," said Rodgers, who is now at the University of Tennessee preparing for his freshman season.
"But then when you look at the roster and see all the Division 1 players, ... 2013 was a special group."
High school basketball will likely always be king in the Bluff City. Area high school football has made tremendous strides in recent years.
But when it comes to producing college talent, Shelby County baseball hit a home run in 2013.
In addition to producing three state champions (Collierville in AAA, Christian Brothers in Division 2-AA and ECS in D2-A), over 30 seniors signed college scholarships this past season, ranging from SEC talents like Rodgers down to the junior college ranks.
And with several of the area's top prospects in the class of 2014 and beyond already committed, the trend doesn't show any sign of slowing soon.
"I've heard college coaches say they have to get into this area (to recruit)," Collierville coach Jeff Hopkins said. "It goes in cycles but right now the area is flooded with talent."
And the word is getting out.
Al Stevens, who coaches Division 2-A runner-up Harding Academy, had five seniors sign scholarships this year. That's an impressive total for any school, much less a small private one like Harding.
He said the Memphis high school baseball scene is a large community, with coaches banding together to promote local players.
"I'll have coaches ask me if I've seen this guy or that guy (from another team) and I'll give them my opinion," he said. "It doesn't matter if they're from Germantown or wherever. And sometimes I'll call a coach myself about a kid.
"A good example is Matthew Mills from FACS (who signed with Southwest Tennessee). They were in a (coaching) transition ... so I called a few schools. It's like a brotherhood. It's about doing what's best for the players."
Hopkins, who coached at the University of Memphis before moving to Collierville, said the influence of coaches, and more importantly "baseball men" like Stevens, has also helped develop the area's talent pool.
"Twenty years ago, a lot of times you had the assistant football coach coaching the baseball team," Hopkins said. "Not saying they did a bad a job; they did the best job they could.
"But today, you have so many high school coaches who were former players. They work at the game and they devote themselves to the game. I think that's a huge reason right there."
Indeed, coaches like Stevens, Arlington coach Chris Ring and Ryan Porter of ECS were standout players in their own right. But being a top-level high school athlete requires year-round commitment.
Which is where programs like the Memphis Tigers and Dulins Dodgers come into play. Much like the summer basketball circuit and events like the Peach Jam, organizations like these two provide area players with opportunities they may not get during the season.
"Summer ball is essential," said Rodgers. "It made me the player I am."
Stevens echoed the sentiment, pointing out that his senior corps at Harding played together from an early age, developing a bond and a chemistry that helped make the Lions very tough to beat this past season.
And of course there's the talent development, at which organizations like the Tigers and Dodgers excel.
"I think it's just the opportunity to hear a different voice," said Tigers president Andy Cook, who pitched for the New York Yankees in 1993 after a successful career at the University of Memphis.
"Sometimes when you hear the same voice all the time, you tend to tune it out. In our organization we have guys like David West, who pitched 10 years in the majors and myself. ... There's always been raw talent in this area but now the opportunities are there for 13, 14 and 15-year-olds to play and train at a high level.
"Take pitching for example. Now you're seeing polished pitchers that can control the two-seam and the four-seam. They're learning how to pitch, where in my day they just told you to go up there and throw strikes."
But whether it's playing summer ball or playing your archrival on a warm spring night, competitiveness might be the one thing that sets Memphis players apart.
"There are just a bunch of competitive teams in the area," said CBU signee Peyton Sanderlin, the winning pitcher in Collierville's state championship victory over Knoxville Farragut.
"We've all grown up together and that helps you grow as a team. And it's kind of fun to beat (players you played with). I think the talent is definitely getting better. From my freshman year to my senior year I saw players who were exponentially better."

The Jewish Museum
Widely admired for its exhibitions and collections that inspire people of all backgrounds, The Jewish Museum is one of the world's preeminent institutions devoted to exploring the intersection of art and Jewish culture from ancient to modern times. The Jewish Museum organizes a diverse schedule of internationally acclaimed and award-winning temporary exhibitions as well as dynamic and engaging programs for families, adults, and school groups. The Museum was established in 1904, when Judge Mayer Sulzberger donated 26 ceremonial art objects to The Jewish Theological Seminary of America as the core of a museum collection. Today, the Museum maintains a collection of 25,000 objects – paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, archaeological artifacts, ritual objects, and broadcast media.
Every month, families will find hands-on arts and crafts projects focusing on the museum's collection, special exhibitions and ticketed special programs.
Check the museum's family-focused Web page for a full range of activities, from music classes to tours to workshops, to projects kids can do at home. Video clips of current exhibitions are also available.
There are special family programs and school partnerships for children with disabilities.
The Educator Zone, a new online resource for teachers, offers a rich array of information and educational materials. Educators can access information on: planning a class visit, educator workshops and events, and new resources such as curriculum materials. Two curriculum guides—Jewish Holidays and The Holocaust are currently available, and two others—Immigration and Archaeology—will be added. In each curriculum guide, an educator can click on one of ten collection images, accessing information about its history, function and related ideas. A host of useful tools and information (such as glossaries, timelines and maps) accompany each object, as well as suggested activities to share with their students.
A host of programs on a variety of subjects are offered at the museum for students in Kindergarten through grade 12. Some program examples are below; contact the museum for a complete listing. There are also school partnership programs for children with disabilities.
Digging Through Time: Using archaeologists' tools, students in grades K to 5 unearth the past through a simualted archaeological dig.
Our Great Garden: Nurturing Planet Earth: This interactive exhibit teaches children in grades K to 3 about the environment and caring for their world.
Immigration to America: Students in grades 3 to 12 discuss the Jewish immigrant experience in the U.S. through artifacts, paintings and photographs.
Understanding the Holocaust Through Art and Artifacts: Middle and high school students explore the origins of anti-Semitism that led to the Holocaust and consider the impact of Nazi tyranny.

There will be much posturing over the next several months. By going slightly to the progressive side of the senators, Obama may ease the way for Republicans to strike a deal, since they will be able to claim they stayed to the president's right. Conservative supporters of reform, such as Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, will keep saying critical things about the president to preserve their credibility with the right. And if Boehner is interested in reform, he, too, must play a delicate game of distancing himself from Obama to persuade his most conservative colleagues to acquiesce to a vote on a bill.
But make no mistake: This is immigration reform's time. It was poignant to hear McCain state plainly and eloquently what he has always felt. "We have been too content for too long," he said, "to allow individuals to mow our lawn, serve our food, clean our homes and even watch our children, while not affording them any of the benefits that make our country so great." Thanks to an election, those words are no longer politically incorrect inside John McCain's party.

I picked up a Villain on Craigslist and have ended up with a pair of E Revo Titans. I have looked all over and can't find what the standard and Reverse rotation is. From what I understand the Marine Titans are 0° so there is no need for a reverse rotation motor.
So the question is: What direction does the standard motor rotate? (Please specify if that is looking at the pinion or from the rear of the motor).

We know that Miley Cyrus hates that Taylor Swift is looked at as a goody-two-shoes while Miley is not, while Miley has been with the same guy for years and Taylor seems to date quite a few guys each year. However, did Miley go too far with the photo she shared online of herself and a cardboard cutout of Harry Styles in bed together just after Taylor and Harry split?
Here's what Miley shared along with the photo above:
In no way do I want Harry. No offense. I'm sure that'll be a story now 2. I'm happily engaged. Just got saucy with a cardboard cut out.
Miley's sister Noah Cyrus was also in on the news that Taylor and Harry split, Tweeting:
Happy bday to me happy bday to me Harry broke up with Taylor happy bday to me.
Poor Taylor!
Miley also posted the photo below along with:
This might be the creepiest thing I've ever seen.

Hoping you ladies can help. internet search came up with nothing.
last night i noticed a red spot, almost like a cut or a blister, on the tip of my lo's tongue.
She isn't teething, and is EBF. I assumed she just scratched her tongue with her fingers... (she's been sucking on them like crazy recently).
I didn't think it was a big issue but her day care just called and asked me to call her ped?
I just left a message but was wondering if anyone knew what it could be.

This gets the crowds in and hopefully buy their products.
Only thing that sucks: cash only. Since my county is now charging for plastic bags, bringing bags is a must now too. btw, their frozen whole chicken fryers aren't bad either. I believe it's like 79c/lb.
Aldi's prices are so cheap because they have very low operating costs. They have nothing but a couple cashiers and a stock person. No cart people, bag people, no bags, creditcard fees etc.
In NYC when I'm not eating out which is not very often I usually buy my stuff at locally specialized stores(fish market/meat markets/cheese shop etc)
I'm originally from Western, NY the home of the great Wegmans. It's probably the only supermarket I will ever regularly frequent.
I can't stand Walmart. The customer service is god awful, the lines are ridiculous, the employees are "slow", and the people that shop there are less than desirable. I'll pay the extra few cents and go somewhere else.
I'm a poser and a wannabe but still probably better than you.
