ProLink Launches Next Generation Operating System, 'ProLink Touch'
Golf Industry's First 'Touch' Screen GPS on Carts Loaded with New Player, Management and Advertising Features
ProLink Touch is the golf industry's first cart-mounted "touch" screen GPS system. As the most high-tech, user-friendly and feature-packed offering on the market, ProLink Touch is presented on sleek and slender, 10.4-inch, high-resolution color screens.
Golfers, via the touch of ultra-bright screens, access richly detailed flyover views of each hole from any location to assist their shot-making. In addition, the system's enhanced scoring functions will automatically calculate side bets such as "Nassau" and "Skins" to alleviate score discrepancies.
For courses' bottom lines, ProLink Touch's expansive memory stores up to 7,500 ads, generating incremental revenue through a larger sales inventory. Designed with a new, proprietary custom interface, ProLink Touch delivers lightning-fast cart-to-clubhouse communication for all purposes including two-way communications, golfer safety, food-and-beverage orders and pace-of-play alerts.
Advertisers benefit from ProLink Touch, as the system accommodates various ad shapes and sizes while rotating spots continually. This gives advertisers greater flexibility and a wider range of pricing options. Additional playing functions encourage more frequent golfer interaction with the screen, increasing ad impressions. Video features and advertising will be standard on the system, without disturbing the playing environment. ProLink Touch's fully interactive data collection screen allows for personalized scorecards, handicapping and data mining functions.
The ProLink Touch GPS system enhances accuracy and is equipped with Wi-Fi, RF (radio frequency) and RFID (radio-frequency identification) technology to speed communication between the clubhouse and players. RFID allows for quick and easy golfer interaction with the screen and enables ProLink to integrate future functions requiring secure data transmissions such as point-of-sale benefits.
"ProLink Touch is the golf industry's next generation product, available today," said
"Under the direction of

In today's environment, the operator has a responsibility to provide every amenity to the golfer while simultaneously boosting returns to the course owner. Of course, ProLink will continue to provide industry-leading service and support to all customers, no matter which system they own or purchase."
As with all ProLink products, ProLink Touch's vibrant hole graphics let golfers pinpoint distances, locate hazards, navigate layouts and order menu items. From the pro shop, management uses ProLink to monitor cart fleets and optimize overall operations from fully integrated, Windows-based workstations. The precise locations of carts, color-coded pace-of-play status, cart-battery levels and wear-and-tear indicators are continuously displayed. Courses engaging with ProLink report pace-of-play improvements of up to 30 minutes per round, adding four rounds daily.
ProLink is the world's most widely used golf cart-based GPS system and is featured at past Ryder Cup hosts the K Club and Valderrama, and world-class resorts Four Seasons Hualalai, Amelia Island Plantation, the Arizona Biltmore and more. In 2008, the prestigious Poipu Bay (

The environment is a big deal to almost everyone these days. Environmental causes have been championed by celebrities, politicians, and a host of very vocal organizations and movements. Documentaries like An Inconvenient Truth are increasingly popular and more people are aware of environmental issues now than ever before. Concerns about global warming in the long-term and the cost of fuel in the short-term are pushing more and more people to consider going green. Scholarships are reflecting this trend, as numerous providers begin awarding green scholarships to environmentally-conscious students.
Scholarship awards are offered across the diverse range of green interests, with scholarship money available to students ranging from sustainable agriculture majors to average students who just have ideas for making their communities more earth-friendly. Maybe you organized a "walk to school" rally on Earth Day, have a plan to raise money for a bike path in your town, or maybe you're an architecture student planning to incorporate green building ideas into your designs. Anyone who cares about the environment and can back it up with a project, essay, or declared major could potentially win a green scholarship. These scholarship opportunities are especially welcome for truly driven students, as many green scholarships not only pay for school, but also allow students to implement their projects and ideas or to attend conferences to learn more about their cause of choice. If you want to eventually launch a career in an eco-oriented field, winning a green scholarship can be a great way to start.
By now, you're probably wondering what green scholarships are out there and how you can find them. Below, we have a list of some popular green scholarships from our database of over 2.7 million awards. You can find even more green scholarships by conducting a free college scholarship search. From there, just view the scholarship information, make sure you meet the requirements, and be on your way to winning scholarships and saving the planet!

As part of the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts 40th anniversary celebration, the school was invited to the Jazz Fest Cultural Exchange Pavilion, a stage that hosts cultural institutions that have shaped Louisiana.
On Friday NOCCA, the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, celebrates with music, guest speakers, a second line and more. The occasion? Plessy Day.
That name should bring to mind history class, and the landmark 1890s Supreme Court case Plessy versus Ferguson, in which the court upheld racial segregation and "separate but equal" as a legal standard.
Octavia Books, 89.9 WWNO and the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts invite you to join us for a special evening with William Joyce, celebrating the release of his amazing new picture book, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.
The program will include a screening of Joyce's Academy Award-winning short film inspired by the story, followed by an interview of the author by Susan Larson for WWNO's The Reading Life. There will also be a book-signing and light refreshments.
He's hailed as one of the most innovative dance-makers of his generation. And now, Stephen Petronio ...
Students at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts had lots of questions for a visitor this week. Choreographer Travis Payne explained how a teenager from Atlanta, Georgia, ended up dancing with Michael Jackson.
Poppy talks to Ashley Graham about who is not eating in Louisiana and NOCCA student's winning recipe for Emeril's restaurants.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, comedian Bernie Mac's wife has filed a wrongful death suit against a doctor who treated him less than a month before his death. Rhonda McCullough is suing dermatologist Rene Earles because he failed to recognize the symptoms of serious cardiopulmonary problems that should have sent Bernie Mac straight to a hospital.
McCullough is seeking a $50,000 judgment against the dermatologist for contributing to Bernie Mac's death through negligence. The delay in treatment caused by Earles's failure to notice obvious symptoms of serious health problems, McCullough argues, contributed to complications, ultimately leading to Bernie Mac's death.
Bernie Mac died on August 9, 2008, at age 50, from complications related to pneumonia. He had chronic inflammatory lung disease.

Staff reporter
NEW DELHI: Legalising of gay sex by the Delhi High Court y was greeted with widespread delight and jubilation by members of the community in the Capital who flocked to Jantar Mantar to celebrate the landmark judgment, while some others were not sure of its implicat- ions.
Gautam Bhan, a member of the Delhi Queer Pride Committee that organised the gay parade in the Capital this past Sunday, said: "The High Court judgment has truly upheld the spirit of the Constitution. It has considered the right to equality of all citizens enshrined in Articles 15, 19 and 21 of the Constitution."
"Over the last few years there has been a marked change in the perception of sexuality in India with reference to the media, law and culture. The gay parade that happened recently and the High Court judgment are a part of this change. The country is now amenable to a more nuanced and open concept of sexuality," he added.
Mr. Bhan said the High Court judgment had given importance to a morality which is bigger than an individual's personal belief -- a person's opinion on homosexuality is immaterial.
"The Court has granted equal rights to the citizens of India. The judgment has proved that the Court had gone into the nitty-gritty of the matter and delved deeply into the issue of equal rights for all."
Monish Malhotra, another member of the Delhi Queer Pride Committee, said: "The judgment is a victory for human rights. It is a historic day in India as the law has established that all are equal. The judgment says that people with an alternative sexuality would no longer be termed criminals."
Sumit Baudh of "Voices Against 377", an organisation that works for human rights, women's and children's rights, said: "This is a victory for all people who in the past have fought for equality and those who are in the process of struggling for it."
Student Stuti Sharma said: "Most importantly this judgment has given the gay community the right to acknowledge their love and to be open about it."
Public Relations executive Shakeel Hussain said: "The fight that had begun a while ago is finally bearing fruit. There is still a long way to go and acceptance will not be there for a long time. But we have to fight on and maybe we shall see legal gay marriages in the future."
Blessy Augustine, a literature graduate, said: "I think it is a good move. Even though we may have our reservations about homosexuality being natural or unnatural, I do not think it is fair to condemn homosexuals to live a life of fear and frustration."
However, a young man who did not wish to be quoted said: "The judgment may encourage male-to-male rape, especially in prisons."
Another student, Anand, said: "No matter what the law says, India is still not open-minded enough to not have a problem with gays or public display of affection among them."

ICTSI raises $300M from notes issue
More News from Doris C. Dumlao, Paolo G. Montecillo
popular .
Port operator International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) has raised $300 million from the issuance of medium-term notes (MTN).
The MTN program allows the company to issue as much as $750 million in notes as ICTSI looks to fund capital expenditures (capex) over the next year.
"It had the largest demand ever for a Philippine corporate debt issue at $5.5 billion. About 179 companies participated and the deal was 18.3-times oversubscribed even without a road show," said Lauro Baja, managing director of UBS Philippines, one of the deal's two arrangers.
Yield was initially settled at 5.25 percent, but eventually narrowed to 4.25 percent due to strong demand, Baja said.
The issue size was originally $200 million for the 10-year notes, but was raised to $300 million.
The notes, issued by ICTSI's wholly owned subsidiary ICTSI Treasury BV, were issued at a coupon rate of 4.625 percent.
By geographical distribution of investors, 90 percent came from Asia and 10 percent from Europe.
"The proceeds from this will be used for refinancing and general corporate purposes. This will also fund future capex requirements and acquisitions," ICTSI Treasurer Joel Consing said earlier this week.
In several transactions in 2011 and 2012, ICTSI raised $350 million via the issuance of perpetual dollar bonds, which are considered equity by the issuer but with some features of a debt instrument.
ICTSI earlier said it would earmark $83 million of its retained earnings for additional working capital.

Meant for emerging markets, Alcatel's latest 7- and 8-inch tablets offer 3G and 4G connectivity for a low price.

At CES 2015, Alcatel showed off one entry-level smartphone with a heap of permutations. Bottom line: the Pixi 3 that goes on sale in your neighborhood may be completely different than one halfway around the world.

CNET's Donald Bell looks at the value proposition of Apple's latest 16GB iPod Touch -- and doesn't like what he sees.
The fourth-gen iPod Touch is Apple's second-best portable media player, with a price that will help you forget about No. 1.
The latest iPod Touch is the best iPod ever, and as close to a phoneless iPhone 5 as you can get -- but its high price makes it a tough call versus cheaper tablets with larger screens.
The iPod Touch is the best iPod yet, offering all the fun of the iPhone experience without a carrier contract or monthly bill.
For users who want to add GPS navigation to their iPod Touch, the Dual XGPS300 is a possible solution, if they can get over the sticker shock.
Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.

The states are now fighting and battling against their own federal government. Same thing with individuals. If you live in a state like New York, New Jersey, California [or] one of these high-tax states [where] 60-plus cents of every dollar goes to taxes, you'll say, 'What the hell am I doing this for?'What am I doing this for? That question is asked every time a politician proposes a spending cut—then gets eviscerated for it. There's a reason that Republicans are loath to propose specific cuts, and that's because "what am I doing this for" tends to be answered with a "oh, cool. Don't cut that!"
But this isn't just Hannity railing against taxes, since that's what Republicans do every day of the year. This is about Hannity predicting that if those states don't start doing something about those taxes, that secession is in the cards! Yup. Hannity believes that California, which just passed two ballot initiatives raising taxes, will want to secede because of taxes. Or something.
All the gory details, below the fold.
A lot of people are moving. … I noticed that Bobby Jindal moved to remove his state income tax. He's not stupid. You know what's going to happen in Louisiana? The same thing that is happening in Texas and Florida — their populations are soaring. They're doing a lot better. State governments are fine. They're surviving. They don't have the property taxes they do in New York, which is obscene. In New York, you just pay and pay and pay and pay.Sure, people in New York pay and pay and pay ... yet there's a reason why New York City is a global center for both business, diplomacy and culture, while Louisiana, Texas, and Florida aren't. The kind of infrastructure that allows New York to host Wall Street or for California to host both Hollywood and Silicon Valley doesn't come cheap. And people are willing to pay—both in cost of living (like real estate) and in the tax burden.
States with lower taxes may soon decide they want to stop shouldering the burden of states with higher taxes, Hannity warned.Shit. Look at the map above. Yes, the data is dated, but spending trends haven't changed much since. Fact is, every single one of the top donor states is Blue. Seven of the top 10 moocher states are Red. Indiana, Texas and Georgia are the only Red states to send more money to D.C. than it gets back.
So yeah, states like Louisiana can try and cut their income taxes because "high tax" New Jersey and Minnesota and Illinois and New York are subsidizing their asses. And that's the big irony, isn't it? The smaller the federal government, the tougher budgetary pressures these Red states would face. And that's before the next hurricane hits.
People that are fed up with a power hungry, radicalized, abusive federal government intruding into every aspect of our lives. People are going to say they're fed up, and states are going to want more liberty and more freedom. They're not going to want to tax their citizens to death anymore. If this pattern continues and gets worse and worse and worse, I can see at some point the states saying, 'Forget it. I don't want to be a part of this union anymore.Freedom to marry? Freedom from gun violence? Freedom to receive quality health care? Of course not. These conservatives claim to love America, but what they really love is their asshole America, one that's designed to favor the wealthy, male, powerful and white. Yet the American mainstream has rejected that vision in five of the last six presidential elections, and the only way Republicans win anymore is via undemocratic constructs like the Electoral College (Bush 2000) or congressional gerrymandering (U.S. House 2012).
Real Americans love America for what it is, so you won't see New York or California or Illinois talking secession anytime soon. It's the right-wing yokels in places like Louisiana and Alabama and Texas who talk big about quitting on America. And sure, that's their prerogative.
But they should spare us the faux patriotic bullshit, because America is what Americans say it is. And if conservatives can't handle that and threaten secession, then there's literally nothing more un-American than that.

Keo.co.za brings you the Lions' player ratings from their third tour match against the Cheetahs.
15 Lee Byrne (5/10) – Uncharacteristically mistimed a few kicks and dropped an up-and-under in the second last movement. This could have and should have afforded the Cheetahs the opportunity to sink a penalty, but referee Wayne Barnes didn't award it. It was overall a very poor showing by Byrne after his great game last Saturday.
14 Leigh Halfpenny (5/10) – Arrived in South Africa on Tuesday and didn't see much action. Was ineffectual on attack and Danwel Demas fended him off with ease at times.
13 Keith Earls (6/10) – Would have been wanting to put the nightmare of last Saturday behind him. Trying to go solo, he isolated himself the first time he touched the ball. However, he showed a good swerve to finish well for the team's second try.
12 Luke Fitzgerald (4/10) – His first match for the Lions after suffering from an injury during the early stages of tour. Was conspicuous by his absence and hardly featured.
11 Shane Williams (5/10) – His defensive frailties were highlighted when he got handed off by JW Jonker, while the hosts also attempted to take advantage of his lack of height by putting the ball in behind him. With ball in hand, he was more involved than the previous couple of games and his stepping may evade tacklers, but he rarely gets over the advantage line. This was highlighted when he threw the intercept pass for Corne Uys's try.
10 James Hook (6/10) - The Welshman slotted six from six and this was the difference between the sides. He put in a neatly-weighted chip for Earls's try, but his tactical kicking wasn't great, which allowed the Cheetahs to counter from the back with ease. His defence was also not up to Test standard.
9 Harry Ellis (6/10) – Hasn't played much rugby in the past two months but adds much energy to the side, which could win him a spot on the bench behind Mike Phillips. It would not have pleased him, however, as his opposite number Tewis de Bruyn ghosted around the fringes on a couple of occasions. His use of the boot was also lacking.
8 Andy Powell (6/10) – First start for Lions and he was used well as the ball-carrier off the lineout, appearing in the close and wide channels. He also combined well in his interplay with Ferris especially.
7 Joe Worsley (5/10) – Worsley was a late replacement for the injured Martyn Williams. In his battle with Heinrich Brüssow he was nowhere to be seen in the first half and he'll certainly know a lot more more about the pilferer after this weekend. His defence is his greatest asset and his true value will be realised come Test time.
6 Stephen Ferris (7/10) – His first start for the Lions and he showed good pace for such a big man as he capitalised on De Bruyn's mistake at a ruck to sprint in from 40m. He did well to make a covering tackle but his cynical infringement where he didn't roll away – typifying the Lions' spoiling tactics – earned him 10 minutes in the bin. That cost his side 14 points in the opening half. He was one of only a few players to stay industrious throughout.
5 Paul O'Connell (6/10) – His second game in charge and he would have been wanting to prove his leadership abilities. It will be worrying both of those games have been typified by lacklustre performances by his team-mates. Personally he was solid at the kick-offs and was also strong in the lineouts.
4 Donncha O'Callaghan (6/10) – His opening outing on the tour and nerves efected him as he dropped a first pass. However he put the hosts' lineout under pressure and stole a couple in the first half.
3 Euan Murray (6/10) – After destroying the Bok front-row last year at Murrayfield, much was expected from the Scot. He didn't disappoint as he dominated at the set-piece and his aggression was evident as his scuffle with Wian du Preez sparked off the handbags in the first half.
2 Ross Ford (6/10) – A couple of skew throws marred his night but being the heaviest hooker in the squad he could come into the reckoning for the Test 22.
1 Andrew Sheridan (8/10) – In his battle with Kobus Calldo the Englishman won three penalties from referee Barnes, and then a fourth when WP Nel was on. In total he won nine points with his destruction of the scrum, but in gauging this performance it must remembered this Cheetahs' front-row got punished by the ridiculed Stormers' front-row in the final game of the Super 14.
16 Matthew Rees – Not enough time to be judged
17 Adam Jones – As above.
18 Simon Shaw – As above.
19 Nathan Hines – As above.
20 Mike Blair – As above.
21 Ronan O'Gara – As above.
22 Gordon D'Arcy (6/10) – Added spark to the backs and he could be an option for the Test team.

florence_xxii:Is it just me or the waiting time really stops so you have to click it again until the waiting time is finished?
yeongshing ADMIN :Hi, actually both will auto-start download when the waiting time finish. If you facing no auto-start download, may I know you are downloading from desktop or mobile site? and what browser are you using? Thanks.
yeongshing ADMIN :Correction: when I said both, I actually wanted to say both desktop* and mobile*.
MadMisfit:Hello Shing, I'm wondering how to make other groups more active like M9 HQ. its sad that M9 have lots of inactive groups
yeongshing ADMIN :Posting stuff that might encourage engagement may help, such as tutorials and discussion.
yeongshing ADMIN :Going to start some topics soon. You got any idea or suggestion?
MadMisfit:Ooopsss soorry I clicked report buttom my mistake,
MadMisfit:Well, I don't know too, I tried by asking favourite movie but nothing much going on, there are lots members but unactive
I think members join many groups just to get an achievement points and have no real interest for any discussions just a thought I might be wrong.
LastKingz:@Misfit, no, I don't think you're wrong about that, also, all these spam profiles have been around, so probably 35-40% of the members in groups are spam profiles. Its something that's quite a challenge for mobile9 to deal with.
MadMisfit:@Kingz, That's right.
LastKingz:@Misfit, I've reported all the spam profiles that have been following me, even though they make up 75% of my followers. I've also started reporting any spam profiles that I've come across.
This is a great site, and a standard has to be upheld. These profiles undermine the value is reputation of the site, and it annoys me greatly.
I'm sure the admins are looking into the profiles that have been reported, and I urge you to do the same. Report these spam profiles.
MadMisfit:@ Kingz thanks for the suggestion, I'll do that soon. Yes I have many spam followers.
Indeed Mobile9 is a great site and I love hanging out here specially on groups, sharing, discussing or helping out other members. this much more fun than writing on wall.
I hope admins will take care of these spam profiles or members who are actibe will lost interest and move on to another site.
LastKingz:@Misfit, great lets make mobile9 #1
MadMisfit:@Kingz, yes and hopefully others will be joining the party
LastKingz:Hey Yeo, I got a few emails I would like to believe are genuinely from mobile9, stating my file(s) "are getting the star treatment" and have been featured by the team.
However, when I look at my files, I see none of the ones that the email said were featured actually being featured.
So, my question is, does mobile9 send emails to users about their files being featured? Or is this some kind of hoax or prank by someone who has too much time on their hands?
millywong:in all my years on mobile9, i have not received any emails like that. so Its probably fake. Ive had my files featured in the past and did not get emails. SO its most likely fake.
yeongshing ADMIN :Hi LastKingz, the emails are definitely not from mobile9. Sometimes we have newsletter to recommend some good stuff, other time if mobile9 is emailing to you, it should have (at)mobile9.com domain.
If can, please email to email@example.com about the fake sender's emails. So we can be aware if other users alert us about the similar emails.
pvlalina PRO :I've got 9 similar emails on the last 2 days but I think are fake since none of my files is featured.
LastKingz:Hmmm alright then. The email was sent from an address called firstname.lastname@example.com. This is what the email looked like
yeongshing ADMIN :Hey, looking from the screenshot, it might be real. Since when did you started receiving this? It's probably work in progress, that's why I do not know about this yet. But I will try to confirm this and get back to you by Monday/Tuesday, to let you know it's from us or not.
However, one of the basic ways to check if it is correct link or suspicious link, you can Right click any hyperlink > Copy link/url and then paste the link in Notepad to check. Does it link to your file?
LastKingz:Oh alright Yeo, I look forward to hearing you're findings. Yes, it does link directly to the file they claim has been featured. When I click on "View file" it takes me to my file.
Hopefully this is indeed real. If its not, then its a great network securtiy concern for mobile9. I love this site, I hope you all have the best server security in place to avoid hacking or malicious attacks.
LastKingz:I got the first email this Tuesday 19th May. I got two more on Thursday 21st May.
yeongshing ADMIN :Hi all, we indeed sent the emails. For those who received it but the file shown in email is not featured, we will check what is the issue.
@LastKingz, may I know the Star Treatment aka Featured File emails that you received all link to featured file or not featured file?
LastKingz:Alright Yeo, thanks for clearing the air on that. I feel relived that it was indeed mobile9 who sent the emails. Yes, it did link directly to the files, but it wasn't being featured.
yeongshing ADMIN :I see. I have reported this issue about sending emails for files that are not being featured. We will look into it.
LastKingz:Ok great, thanks a lot yeo so helpful.
pvlalina PRO :And again I received today an email about my last file beeing featured which is not, of course.
What's happening?
LastKingz:Hmm, I have no idea, but yeo is working on it, just be patient. Things will be straightened out
yeongshing ADMIN :@pvlalina: Sorry about that. Our team is already working on it. Trying hard to find out what causing this.
joank188:Why wont it go back to desktop view... Cant download ebooks..using android on htc with google chrome....
yeongshing ADMIN :Hi, to get desktop view mobile browser, scroll to bottom of the page, you will see a menu "Touch", tap on Touch then choose "Full Site".

25 November 2013 16:56 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--Algeria's Sorfert has completely halted urea and ammonia production at the $2bn (€1.48bn) plant as it remains unable to load nitrogen fertilizer cargoes for the third straight week due to a lengthy new export permit process that has already impacted operations at local ammonia manufacturer Fertial, a market source said on Monday.
Sorfert is understood to have stopped all production activities because its urea warehouses and ammonia tanks are full and there is little indication as to when the government may issue the required export licences.
"The situation is unchanged and there is no clarity on the export licence. It could take more time than previously estimated," the source said.
Sorfert can produce around 100,000 tonnes/month of urea at full capacity. The shipments that have been affected are as follows:
Meanwhile, Fertial stopped ammonia production at one of its two ammonia lines at its Arzew plant over the weekend and the second unit will likely go offline in the next three days, another market source disclosed.
"No Fertial or Sorfert ammonia cargoes have loaded in the past few weeks and the government has yet to decide on the export applications and, frankly speaking, I don't see any decision being made for another 48-72 hours at least which means the next cargoes almost certainly won't load until early December," added the source.
LPG tanker Navigator Galaxy had been due to load up to 15,000 tonnes of Sorfert ammonia over the weekend but is now heading to Yuzhny, Ukraine, to lift a Black Sea cargo instead for OCI Nitrogen.
Based in Arzew, Sorfert started granular urea production in September this year. Netherlands-headquartered OCI owns 51% of the company while Algeria's state-run Sonatrach holds the remaining 49% stake.

By Current State
WKAR TV'S "QuizBusters" celebrates 25 years on the air this year. Since its premiere, the program has been hosted by Matt Ottinger.
"Quizbusters" pits Mid-Michigan high school students against each other on two opposing teams in the classic "College Bowl" format. Contestants answer questions drawn from the worlds of mathematics, science, literature, history, the arts, and more. Tonight, WKAR opens the season with two games with local celebrities vying for bragging rites.
Ottinger tells Current State that his early game show influences include the early version of "Jeopardy!" and "Concentration".

Joey Bada$$ ft. Action Bronson - B.A.R'd
Artist: Joey BadA$$
Featuring: Action Bronson
Producer: Chuck Strangers
Album: XXL Freshmen '13 Mixtape
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 3 votes )
Between missing my daily 8:30am class more than I would like to admit and having the messiest dorm room ever, I think it's safe to say I did not act like a college ready freshman. While some of our readers might be able to relate, Joey BadA$$ and Action Bronson are definitely in their own separate category. On B.A.R'd (or Beyond a Reasonable Doubt), the two XXL Freshman team up to teach a class on hip-hop. Producer Chuck Strangers' jazzy, dusty board work is a nice contrast to the duo's against the grain style. BadA$$ steps up to the plate first, tackling the beat with his slick wordplay that rolls right off his tongue thanks to a slurred flow, while Bronson wraps up the effort off with his gritty flow and oddly colorful bars. This (tagless) effort was lifted from the DJ Drama hosted XXL Freshman Tape, which is now available for free download.

Who knew spending a little money could do so much good and be so much fun? At least those are the goals of a 9-month-old phenomenon called cash mobs that has hit more than 200 businesses nationwide.
Cash mobs are do-it-yourself local economic development efforts that have popped up from Lewiston, Maine, to Fountain Valley and Garden Grove, California. There seem to be no hard-and fast-rules how to conduct a cash mob other than the Nike slogan: Just Do It.
On April 14, 44 people gathered in the parking lot of T-Shirt Wholesale Outlet in Fountain Valley. The gathering had been organized by Lynn and Curt Seeden of Fountain Valley Living Magazine and the city's Shop 92708 program.
They clustered for a group photo waving the $20 bills they pledged to spend at the shop, then charged through the door en masse and left within half an hour, spending a total of $1,373.54.
On April 25, a cash mob rolled through El Pollo Norteno in Garden Grove from 6 to 9 p.m. Over the three-hour period, 55 mobsters spent $1,282.73 on authentic Mexican food served at the restaurant or for takeout.
The concept apparently started Aug. 5, 2011, with Chris Smith in Buffalo, N.Y., where he used Twitter and Facebook to rally 100 people to spend a few minutes and a little money at City Wine Merchant. On Nov. 16, a group in Cleveland took 40 people to a bookstore, then launched a blog – cashmobs.wordpress.com – to encourage others to boost their own local economies and have a good time along the way.
The blog has now listed more than 200 different cash mob efforts in 45 states and Washington, D.C., plus two foreign countries.
The Seedens, Ohio natives, had watched YouTube videos of a cash mob in Youngstown, Ohio, and thought it was a great idea for Fountain Valley. Lynn Seeden posted the idea on Facebook and found a willing target in Shawn Choi, who has owned T-Shirt Wholesale Outlet since 1992. The shop does $3,000 in business on a typical Saturday, its busiest day of the week.
"It sounded OK to me," Choi said. "We get customers because we're discount, but the recession affected us too."
One of the mobsters, life-long Fountain Valley resident Bonnie Tucker said, "I've seen (cash mobs) on TV. I thought it was a great idea. We always try to shop locally, to keep money here." Her daughter wanted a speckled, grey-hooded sweatshirt. But Tucker also bought several shirts and a belt, spending $50.
Azucena Chavarria brought her children Diego and Cielo to the cash mob. She bought T-shirts in four different colors for her children's soccer teams.
"My husband knew one of the (city) councilmen who told us what was going on. We want to support Fountain Valley," she said.
Fountain Valley Councilman Larry Crandall and his wife Sandra, a school board member, joined the cash mob, too. They have lived in Fountain Valley since 1974 and bought clothes for their grandchildren during the shopping spree.
"It's an opportunity to spotlight a long-time business in town," Larry Crandall said.
The El Pollo Norteno cash mob was organized by Mike Wedaa of Opis Network in Newport Beach who teamed up with charities H.O.P.E. (Helping Others Prepare for Eternity) and The Eli Home and the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce to get the word out. Ten percent of proceeds went to charity.

Geneva, 17 April 2007 —
Access to information and communication facilities is
essential for providing vital early-warning information
as well as quick response for humanitarian assistance
and rehabilitation in the aftermath of disasters. Aiming
to strengthen international cooperation in the use of
information and communication technology for disaster
mitigation, a conference in Alexandria, Egypt, 14-17
April 2007 brought together nearly 400 participants
including senior government and telecommunication
regulatory officials, United Nations Agencies, NGOs,
academics and the private sector.
The International Telecommunication Union
co-organized the event along with the League of Arab
States; the Arab Ministerial Council of ICTs, Health and
Environment; World Health Organization; United Nations
Environment Programme; Centre for Environment and
Development for the Arab Region and Europe (CEDARE); and
the Arab Academy for Science & Technology & Maritime
Transport. The conference was inaugurated by the
Minister of Social Solidarity of Egypt, Dr Ali Al-Moselhi.
Speaking at the opening session, Mr Sami Al-Basheer,
Director of ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau
noted that emergency telecommunication is a key priority
for ITU. "Any disaster reduction measure that is not
linked to telecommunications does not go far enough," he
said. "For this reason, a ubiquitous, resilient, and
multi-hazard telecommunications network is critical." Mr
Al-Basheer added that ITU is ready to provide the
partnership link with its Member States and Sector
Members, as repeatedly emphasized by ITU
Secretary-General Dr Hamadoun Touré.
Participants included Sir David Veness, United
Nations Under-Secretary-General for Safety and Security,
Mr Adel Labib, Governor of Alexandria, and Dr Nadia
Makaram Ebeid, Executive Director of CEDARE.
The meeting, which concluded its deliberations today,
provided a platform for best practices in disseminating
vital information on disaster management, environmental
monitoring, and delivery of ICT applications/services
such as e-health for the benefit of disaster victims.
Future objectives aim at:
Identifying appropriate
technologies and options for disaster communications
Enhancing institutional
and human capacity
Conducting drills and
simulations for telecommunications applications in
disaster management
Preparing case studies to
draw lessons and facilitate exchange among countries
Establishing appropriate
regulatory and legal frameworks for ratification and
implementation of the Tampere Convention
The conference in Alexandria follows the Bandung
Declaration of 28 March 2007that calls upon ITU to
launch a global project to develop ICT resources that
can be deployed in a timely manner anywhere in the world
in the event of a disaster. It seeks to build on the
goals set by the World Summit on the Information
Society, the resolutions and programmes adopted by ITU's
World Telecommunication Development Conference in Doha
in March 2006, and the resolutions adopted by the ITU
Plenipotentiary Conference held in Antalya, Turkey in
November 2006.
As part of its ongoing effort to promote
international cooperation and multi-stakeholder
partnerships, ITU concluded a Memorandum of
Understanding on 11 April 2007 with Télécoms Sans
Frontières (TSF), a non-governmental organization, to
open the door to greater coordination of efforts in this
"Télécoms Sans Frontières is doing excellent work in
the field and we look forward to the potential impact of
this collaboration," ITU Secretary-General Dr Hamadoun
Touré said after the signing the agreement. "TSF has
demonstrated how telecommunications can be used to
strengthen emergency response efforts and save lives."
This sentiment was echoed by TSF Founding President,
Mr Jean-François Cazenave. He said, "Télécoms Sans
Frontières is very proud to collaborate with ITU, and we
sincerely hope that this will encourage
telecommunication operators to recognize the potential
of their products and services to save lives. We welcome
them to join us in this common cause."

Have a drink and a Behike!
Seriously dude it sucks, just glad no one was hurt and hopefully it's just the tire!
This is a discussion on Fack You Highway! within the Puff Banter forums, part of the Everything But Cigars category; God D@mn It!! Headed home tonight, cruising down the highway. All the sudden some shit come flying out from the ...
God D@mn It!!
Headed home tonight, cruising down the highway. All the sudden some shit come flying out from the car in front of me. No idea what the heck it was. Looked like some little black plastic box or metal box. Whatever it was it was loud going under the car banging around. I tried to miss it but with cars all around it wasn't possible. So I straddled it in the center of the car and hoping it would just go right under it. Bam it hits the back left wheel and punctures a huge hole in the tire. Flat in an instant. I'm doing my best to control the car and get over to the right side of the freeway. Son of a bitch it popped in no time and whatever it was it nailed my tire. Praying to god no damage was done to the wheel. Not sure yet as I will have to take the wheel and tire into the Acura dealership to have the wheel inspected and a new tire put on.
On and what sucks! I just got the damn car on Saturday afternoon! Some of you know I had an 08 TL Type-S. Well the lease was up in two months and managed to work a deal and lease a new 2011 Type-SH AWD TL with Tech package for basically the same payment. It was a heck of a deal and now I'm pissed after blowing the tire out and possible damage to my 18" wheel in less than a week. Not to mention last year I tried to miss a pot hole so big on my older TL, it blew out both tires on the right side and smashed my wheel on that car as well. So that was easily $1200 for a new wheel and two new tires. I was so pissed.
FACK! Aight well it goes in Saturday morning to be inspected and check for any damage under the car. Doesn't appear to be as I checked when I got home. So for now a blown tire, and maybe wheel damage. I don't think there is wheel damage cause I got off the road pretty quick, so time will tell.
Ok I feel better and now it's time for.....
Have a drink and a Behike!
Seriously dude it sucks, just glad no one was hurt and hopefully it's just the tire!
you can get rims repaired now!
But i know how you feel. I shattered my vettes bumper on the highway. granted i dont know if i was doing the speed limit, but it ****ed it up.
You got lucky! Driving on US 395 through the center of Washoe Valley, NV and there is a huge downdraft. 2 Alaskan Geese were being pushed down by the winds. They were pumping their wings hard to gain altitude. BAM! Sounded like a gun shot inside my girlfriends Jetta. Glass everywhere! Sunglasses saved me. Goose almost cooked ME. I whipped off the road without even clutching I was so adrenaline charged. Got out and the goose was less than 12 inches from my face with the safety glass of the front windshield slowly decaying to allow the goose to fall inward to the floorboards and seats.
All my girlfriend can yell is - GET THAT F#$%^@# goose out its bleeding on my seats.
Off duty Sherrif was 2 cars back and pulled over immediately. He had a trashbag in the back of his Blazer and wrapped his hands in it and grabbed the goose and tossed it to the side of the road.
Called and EMS came from the local Firedept. No injuries and just small shards of glass everywhere. I was wearing shorts too so thats miraculous. Girlfriend called her mom so we could be taken to the Reno Airport and I was to depart on a flight.
Made it!
Ive got more driving stories , but that one really takes the cake.
Now I duck when driving through that section of road even if there are no geese for 100 miles.
As long as there are not any injuries everything else can be fixed.
Buzzards do the same damage to a vehicle and they will still fly away...damn birds. Hate to hear that about your brand new car. Sucks when it happens to anything, especially a new car.
Why pay $100 on a therapy session when you can spend $25 on a cigar? Raul Julia
I also suffer from Entomophobia
Initially I read the thread title to be "Fack You Hemingway" ... I was about to be very disappointed in you. LOL
Sorry to hear about this, David ... hopefully the damage isn't bad and the dealership can get you fixed up and on your way in no time.
"The world breaks everyone, and afterwards, some are strong at the broken places." - Hemingway
Oh man that fukn sucks David!!! Hey, they way I think of it, it could have been a lot worse ya know. My wife has a 05 TL and I've been telling her to get the new one, but she dont care cause it drives well. She got it brand new and its paid off, so I guess she dont want car payments..lol.
But crazy story as well...
I'm taking my dad to the airport, its about 5am, driving a 09 550i, roads are still dark. I'm on the highway 59 here and just cruising about 70. All of a sudden, I see a big ass object flipping down the highway, headed right for me! It was a fukn canoe that got unlatched from the truck in front of me. Luckily there were not many cars or this could have been a disaster!! I slam the breaks and I cant swerve to the left cause of the concrete wall and on right of me was a car. The car on right of me, swerved right, and I couldnt do anything but watch the fukn canoe hit the front bumper and roll all the way above the windshield! The numbnuts whos canoe it was stopped on the right of the freeway. He crossed it, some old buzzard! Said you ok, you ok, I'm like how the fuk did you not tie it down better! Took a picture of his license on my phone and left. He drags his canoe across the free way and put it back on top of his truck.
Car wasnt damaged badly, since it was a fiberglass canoe or some type of material that didnt cause nothing but scratches...but I said fuk that, went to BMW and got a $5400 bill. That guy calls me and tries to tell me he will give me $2K cash, I told him go buy better straps with that $2K!
But again, if there were more cars, it could have been much much worse!!
But fack the highway!! Like others said, light up a behike and a glass of crown black.
That sucks man! I just gave up my fight against the city of Baltimore because there was a metal pole that was sticking out of the sidewalk that shredded my BRAND NEW tire when I went to park. They said that they would only pay for it if I had called BEFORE the incident and reported the problem with the sidewalk. BEFORE?!?! If I knew that a ****ing METAL POLE was sticking out of the sidewalk I wouldn't have parked there!
yea that blows, haha, no pun intended! Sorry to herar that. Hope thats all it is!
I know the feeling, well sort of. Wife went to mailbox last week, got the mail and figured she could drive and look at mail at the same time.....which she cant and she curbed the brand new Lexus. F....d up the rim all the way arround it!
At first I thought it read that someone THREW something out of the car in front of you. If that were the case I might have followed them to wherever they were going on the rim.
Sucks about your new car, hope you get it back into shape soon.
Dang, what a bummer!!!!
I sure am glad you are allright...
"What Could be Finer, than a Spanish Cedar Liner?"
Awe man that sucks, I feel your pain. I've had a few run ins and near misses with debris in the road too. Good thing it's only a tire and didn't F-up the undercarriage of the car too.
@ jbrown: I had a run in with a buzzard about a year ago. With his wings streached out that sombich was bigger than my windshield and hood!
Why am I wasting my time talking to an A-hole like you when I could be doing something much more dangerous... like rearrageing my humidor.
If it was I-75 then who knows, it's not really a highway but an obstacle course. Sorry to hear of your misfortune, glad it wasn't worse.
The older I get, the better I used to be.
Thanks everyone for the kind words. Good news as my baby is sitting inside at the local Acura dealership waiting for a new tire to arrive. Should be there Monday, so I left the car there and had the wife pick me up. Appears there was not any damage under the car or to the wheel, so it's all good. What else is crazy is I have 19" wheels on order from Acura with new tires. I decided to upgrade the 18" wheels when I bought the car, but they had to special order the 19" wheels and tires. They should be here in a couple of weeks. Sucks I'm buying a new tire to use for two weeks, then the new wheels and tires will go on. However I would have had to buy a new tire regardless cause the wheels and tires that came with the car will go back to Acura when they put the new ones on the car.

28 Aug Time Saving Hair, Body, Make-up & Clothing Products for Combating Tardiness in the AM
by ATFDC Contributor Kelsi Zimmerman
So as Fashiontonians, we all know what its like to sit in crazy DC traffic, whether its on the beltway or in the city. We also know what its like to miss our alarm clocks, making us late ON TOP OF still having to sit in DC traffic. I am here to explore different products to reduce the time it takes to get ready in the morning with the help of multi-purpose beauty products, if you will.
Have tired eyes and won't be able to grab a cup of coffee until you get to the office? Hide the fact that you overslept with an eye illuminator, a product that takes away the appearance of bags and brightens up your face, also great when you don't have time to apply full-on eyeshadow! L'Oreal's Double Extend Eye Illuminator can be found for less than 10 bucks at Ulta in downtown Silver Spring at 914 Ellsworth Drive. This product is essential for tired eyes and even doubles as an eye-liner on the other end of the dual sided stick!
Along with an eye illuminator, volumizing mascara will help do the trick- just one application of Covergirl's Lashblast Volume Blasting Waterproof Mascara with one touch will leave your lashes full and ready for your day! And the best part? This miracle wand is waterproof, smudgeproof and smearproof , great for on the go and can be found at practically any drug store for under $10.

A Maryland born and developed brand; Rosebud Salve's Lip Balm is awesome as a lip balm with a rosey tint (and is also great for healing dry spots, minor cuts and burns). Available in tins or tubes its a key essential item for on the go or at home.

Since I am a firm believer in moisturizing daily, I will not eliminate a moisturizer no matter how short on time you are. However, I have found that Bare Minerals' (an American made brand) Advanced Protection SPF 20 Moisturizer is a quick drying, all day hydrator that goes on easy and protects your skin daily from harmful UV rays. Not to mention, all Bare Minerals products are made from all natural ingredients that provide your skin with the nutrients it needs on a daily basis. This multi-use hydrator can also be found at retailers who carry the Bare Minerals line such as the Sephora in Georgetown.
Now, the most important part- I suggest any working woman has an idea of two staple outfits that are the ultimate "go to" for when you are running late but still want to look fabulous and feel comfortable during the work day. Of course black is any woman's first thought when needing a staple piece, I suggest a black jumpsuit like the Italian Crepe Sleeveless Jumpsuit by designer Andrea Lieberman at Intermix Boutique (3222 M Street Northwest).
This comfortable and not to mention flattering jumpsuit is work appropriate and can be paired with endless accessories, shoes or cover-ups. A great staple piece for day or night. Believe it or not, in today's fashion world, cheetah print is becoming more and more of a staple item because of it's natural hues, I suggest pairing the black jumpsuit with a pair of cheetah flats that will become such a key part of your every day wardrobe. Try these Cheetah Loafers found at Aldo in Georgetown at 3237 M Street NW.
Finally, every woman knows that a blazer can go a long way, a red blazer will add some great color blocking to your go-to staple outfit and make it look like you put a lot of fashionable consideration into your look! Urban Outfitters in Chinatown at 737 7th Street NW has a soft knit fitted red blazer to complete your "last-minute" look.
Whether you are running late and you know DC traffic is going to be terrible or you just want to cut down on the time it takes for you to get ready and spend more time under the covers just remember these key beauty products to make your eyes pop, your hair appear clean, your lips glossed and your skin moisturized and protected. Now go home, and plan a staple outfit to go to every once in a while for those mornings where you rather sacrifice blow-drying time for a Starbucks run.

Feverish Pagunsan three strokes off WGC lead
MIAMI—Juvic Pagunsan fired a three-under 69 Thursday to stay three shots off the lead in the World Golf Championships Cadillac Championship despite terrible playing conditions at Doral's Blue Monster.
Australia's Adam Scott defied difficult, windy conditions to seize a share of the first-round lead with Jason Dufner with a 66.
Pagunsan, the Filipino ace recently given the Presidential Achievement Award by the Philippine Sportswriters Association, had to deal with even more problems as he battled fever for two days and had planned to play only nine holes in the first round.
But he plodded on and found himself in a better position than current world No. 1 Rory McIlroy and former No. 1s Tiger Woods and Luke Donald.
Pagunsan birdied holes 7, 10 and 12, dropped a shot on 13 and then got it back on the 16th for his three-under card, one of only 12 scores for the day that broke 70.
Scott, making just his third start of the season, had four birdies in his first nine holes and finished with five birdies and an eagle against one bogey in his six-under par 66.
America's Dufner nabbed four of his seven birdies on his last nine holes, including a birdie at his last, the par-three ninth, where he hit his tee shot within three feet of the pin to join Scott atop the leaderboard.
"When you're in the fairway on a day like today, you get a chance to hit it somewhere near the hole, give yourself an opportunity," Scott said.
McIlroy, making his first start since ascending to number one in the world rankings, opened with a one-over par 73 that included a three-putt bogey.
"It was a pretty tricky day, but obviously there was good scores out there," said McIlroy.
Woods, who finished runner-up to McIlroy in the Honda Classic on Sunday, tapped in for eagle at his opening hole but found the going tougher the rest of the way en route to an even par 72.
"It was just a difficult day," Woods said. "The wind was blowing putts around, and it made for a very challenging round."
England's Donald, supplanted by McIlroy atop the world rankings this week, headed another group of eight players on 70.

Bob Hennelly
WNYC's Bob Hennelly is an award-winning investigative journalist. While at WNYC he has reported on a wide gamut of major public policy questions ranging from immigration and homeland security to power outages and utility mergers.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed a bill that will provide hundreds of millions of dollars to revive the stalled Xanadu Mall and several other projects across the state.
Christie initially pledged $200 million backed by sales tax revenue to the developers of the Mall of America, Triple 5, in order to open the long stalled Xanadu mega-mall in the Meadowlands.
The Democratic legislature has increased that funding by 75 percent — and Xanadu will now get $350 million.
At the same time, Democrats expanded a special tax credit intended to encourage developers to build multi-family housing near mass transit.
Before, developers could get credits worth 20 percent of their construction costs. Now, they'll get up to 35 percent back and won't have a strict requirement for including some low income housing.
Affordable Housing and environmental groups like the Sierra Club denounced the bill, but legislators from both parties said it was needed to jump-start stalled projects statewide.

Wall Street's biggest banks told the Federal Reserve recently they were projecting the central bank would start raising short-term interest rates in September. According to a survey of so-called primary dealer banks conducted ahead of the Fed's April 28-29 policy meeting, the median expectation of these banks was for a September rate rise, the same as what they told the Fed ahead of its March meeting.

I certainly hope for a more diverse product line across all line and companies. This is the best for the consumer. Those of you that can remember the USSR. They had little choice, and the products were pretty much crap. No innovation, no drive to be better, a society that became weak and dull.

Multimedia Games Holding Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: MGAM) ("Multimedia Games" or the "Company") invites customers and players to PLAY LOUDER™ as it brings the distinct sense of Austin to the twelfth annual Global Gaming Expo ( G2E®) from October 2-4, 2012, in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Sands Expo & Convention Center (Booth #1165). The Company's new products on display at G2E 2012 draw on the creativity and technological savvy of its Austin, Texas roots which combine to deliver an innovative and highly amplified gaming experience. Multimedia Games will demonstrate an expanded reach for its award-winning TournEvent ® slot tournament system, new content and game mechanics that add to its portfolio of player-popular video and mechanical reel gaming machines and new titles for its successful High Rise Games® series of premium participation games.
Patrick Ramsey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Multimedia Games, commented, "Continuing to build a diverse portfolio of great games and technologies that address all U.S. gaming markets is a critical element to our long-term growth and our showing at G2E 2012 will clearly demonstrate that our targeted investment in product development is delivering results. We're committed to developing distinct new gaming experiences for our customers and their players. Our display this year at G2E will include 31 innovative new titles which highlight our ability to create the differentiated play features, enhanced art and dynamic sound that players love. In particular, Multimedia Games is taking our TournEvent® of Champions™, which has been a huge success already in several states, nationwide in a year-long event that will culminate at G2E 2013. We will also extend the excitement of our High Rise Games series with two great new games and will showcase our re-designed Player HD® cabinet featuring new lighting effects. Finally, we are excited to bring a slice of Austin fun to the show with daily live performances by Austin-based band Micky and the Motorcars."
G2E 2012 Kicks Off Nationwide TournEvent of Champions
TournEvent – named one of Casino Enterprise Management's "Top Slot Floor Technology Products" in 2010 and 2011 and recognized by Global Gaming Business as a "Best Consumer Technology" in 2010 (3rd place) and 2011 (Honorable Mention) – will once again capture center stage at G2E. Offering industry-leading functionality that has revolutionized the slot tournament experience, TournEvent 4.0 enables a dynamic and interactive tournament at the touch of a button and enables operators to create unique team slot tournaments for the first time, offering a variety of customizable configurations based on the number of players, mechanics of team advancement, rankings and tournament prize awards.Multimedia Games has recently leveraged the growing number of TournEvent installations in California and Washington to create a pair of statewide TournEvent of Champions slot tournaments. These events included multiple pre-qualifying rounds at participating casinos that whittled thousands of contestants to approximately 300 top contenders at each property who competed in final qualifying rounds. The local winners in California competed for the top prize and state-wide bragging rights aboard a Celebrity Wine Tour cruise. Local winners in Washington, who were selected from over 10,000 players at 13 casinos, received cash, roundtrip airfare to Las Vegas and a suite at the Venetian Las Vegas Casino, along with a chance to compete on October 3, 2012, for the top prize and state-wide bragging rights. The Championship event begins with round one on the G2E show floor in Multimedia Games' booth (#1165) at 4:00 p.m. PT and will continue at 6:30 p.m. PT in Lagasse's Stadium at The Palazzo. With the growing availability of TournEvent – currently in over 100 casinos in 22 jurisdictions – Multimedia Games is ready to take the TournEvent of Champions nationwide. Kicking off at G2E 2012, the National TournEvent of Champions will begin at participating casinos in January 2013 and the Company's TournEvent of Champions tournament bus – which will debut on the show floor at G2E 2012 – will roll across the nation to help promote and celebrate local semifinal events taking place between March and September. The nationwide TournEvent of Champions culminates at G2E 2013 where the championship event will crown the nation's best slot tournament player. Mr. Ramsey added, "The incredible buzz generated by TournEvent of Champions in both California and Washington State as well as the overwhelming demand for our TournEvent slot tournament system made it clear that we needed to offer our customers an unparalleled slot tournament experience on a national level. Our team has created a fantastic turnkey solution that leverages the power of TournEvent to generate instant floor-wide buzz and help improve floor performance at our customers' facilities. We encourage all G2E 2012 attendees to stop by the Multimedia Games booth to experience the power of TournEvent and sign on to bring the excitement of our upcoming nationwide TournEvent of Champions to their casino floor. The nationwide TournEvent of Champions will roll across the country in 2013, bringing increased gaming revenues to participating casinos and unmatched player excitement." Demonstrating an Expanding Portfolio of New Games and Proven Series Multimedia Games continues the success of its development efforts with a variety of new games that address all gaming markets. These games include:
- Side Action® Scratch & Win™ : Building on the success of the Side Action® series, which adds a secondary game that plays out simultaneously with the traditional base game, Multimedia Games will debut a new base game, Summer Days™, with Side Action Scratch & Win. Based on universally popular instant scratch and win lottery tickets, in the Side Action Scratch & Win game, players increase the number of tickets they play as they increase their bet per line up to a maximum of five tickets.
- Smokin' Hot Jackpots™ Series: Debuting with six unique 3-reel mechanical game themes – including Top Shelf®, Tiger 7's®, Double Jackpot®, Smokin' 777®, Flamingo 7's® and Gold Standard® – the Smokin' Hot Jackpots series from Multimedia Games features a linked 11-tier progressive with a unique 24" top box that offers 2x Wilds at all bet levels.
- Wild a Go-Go™ : The sequel to Multimedia Games' most popular title, Carnival in Rio®, Wild a Go-Go takes players back to the 1960's every time they enter a bonus round. This 4x5, 5-reel video game features psychedelic graphics, energetic music and live-action dancers as themed, animated stacked symbols.
- Flash Point™ : A 5-reel, 50-line video game, Flash Point is a departure from 70's style casino games, offering a gritty, bubbling-hot fire theme that stands apart from the crowd with edgy audio and video elements. The Flash Point Bonus offers guaranteed big wins of at least 10x the total bet with every free spin bonus trigger.
- Good Luck Charm™ : The first fully-customizable game from Multimedia Games, this 5-reel, 50-line video theme allows players to choose from one of four lucky charms (shamrock, star, horseshoe and rabbit's foot) which then determine the theme of the game screen and the wild symbol during game play.
- High Rollin' : Designed to remind players of vintage Vegas classics, this 5-reel, 30-line video reel High Rise Game brings back three of the Company's most popular 3-reel mechanical titles ( Lucky Cherry™, Smokin' 777 and Top Shelf) in the bonus rounds to provide traditional appeal in an all-new package. The High Rollin' Bonus is triggered when three Bonus symbol land scattered on reels 1, 3 and 5, and the player is presented with one of the three bonus games. During bonus round play, the visually striking top box transforms to match the game – cherries during the Lucky Cherry bonus, flames during the Smokin' 777 bonus and ice cubes during the Top Shelf bonus – and displays the big win celebration at the conclusion of the bonus round.
- Wild Rainforest with MoneyBall: Introduced last year, MoneyBall returns to G2E with a popular Multimedia Games base game theme, Wild Rainforest. The visually stunning MoneyBall Bonus adds a perceived skill element, which is triggered when three MoneyBall symbols land on the reels. Players are awarded three shots on one of four differently themed top box play screens that mirror the action of a pachinko machine and combine stunning animation elements. Players can select the direction of the launch and watch as the ball hits pins, bumpers, multi-ball triggers, 3x fireballs or a ball lock, which transitions to an additional 3-reel or wheel spin mini-bonus.
