Before You used to get some sort of blue item well this time I got some sort of token. StarBase 24 token common token or something similar to that. My question is what do you use these tokens for?
Another issue I had is once the battle was complete I was attempting to beam down to the Starbase to finish the quest. Well I never got the option to beam down and after exploring around in the interface I get to in progress missions and it says "Secondary Mission" I was ineligible for it when I received it for some reason. I tried leaving group but that didn't work I even did the battle again and the same thing happened. Any advice would be appreciated.
I haven't SB24 in quite a while, I don't know that the token you are referring to is. As to your second question, if you've already done the secondary ground missions on that character, you can't do the mission again. There is mission replay available for all of the story missions. Patrol missions and Fleet Action missions, like SB24 ground, aren't in the mission replay system at the moment.

This image is a dedication to the king of country music George Strait : I've read that he is making his last tour.
For sure, it makes all of his fans (and me) very sad !
He is a great entertainer and one of the most awarded artists. He sold more CDs than most of them too.
I still remember when I used to know him and his music back in 1998 during my first vacation in the USA. This year he had a big success with his songs "True" and "I just want to dance with you".
After a couple days, I was abble to recognize his songs after two or three notes and to sing the chorus after a week (giggles)...
I bought all his CD's and when I was back at home I started to "study" his lyrics and sing his songs in my car.
So, I guess that he is certainly the one who learned me to speak english (LOL!)
I hope he will produce some new CD's... The world will never be the same now.
If you want to know more about his last tour, please feel free to visit his website...
And if someone could suggest him to do a concert or two in Europe, I would be glad to see him on stage !!!!!
Now, as for my image, it is an old one I've reworked and now, I feel satisfied with the outcome :-)
Have a great sunday

Virginie, What a warm and wonderful tribute dishes to George Strait. He has long been one of my favorite singers also and I was fortunate enough to see him in concert once many years ago. My all-time favorite song of his is "The Chair"

I seldom hear his music as I am stuck with the artists long ago. certainly a great painting. friends that I use to have in Mexico, could sing in English from listening to songs. however they could not pickup enough to speak in English. it fooled me into thinking they could speak English until I tried speaking in English. the whole family of girls could sing and they were popular in Mexico. man that was a long time ago

The William T. Grant Foundation invests in high-quality research to ensure that young people from diverse backgrounds reach their fullest potential.
Our new cycle of grants includes the first research projects funded under focus on programs, policies, and practices that reduce inequality for young people in the U.S. Two researchers will also examine the use of research evidence in policy and practice. And two researchers awarded with Distinguished Fellowships will work in policy and practice settings to build understanding of ways that research can be more relevant to decision makers.
By Timothy M. Smeeding
What can U.S. policymakers and researchers learn from European nations about how to reduce social inequality and improve social mobility? In what ways are European policies less likely to generate inequality and more likely to respond to inequality than those in the U.S.?
Letters of inquiry for William T. Grant Foundation research grants and Distinguished Fellowships are due by 3:00 p.m. on August 4, 2015.
In the final report in our series focusing on areas where research may yield new responses to inequality, Margarita Alegría and colleagues outline disparities in mental health and mental health services for minority youth. Taking a developmental perspective, the authors explore four areas that may give rise to inequalities in mental health outcomes, highlight differential roles of specific barriers and protective factors, and, finally, provide an agenda for future research.
Our focus is on research that increases our understanding of programs, policies, and practices that reduce inequality in child and youth outcomes; and the use of research in policy and practices that affect children and youth.
Our funding opportunities fall into four broad categories: Research Grants; William T. Grant Scholars; Distinguished Fellows, and Youth Service Improvement Grants.
Meet the board of trustees and staff of the William T. Grant Foundation, a diverse group of professionals dedicated to the well-being and positive development of young people.
The William T. Grant Foundation has been investing in research to improve the lives of children, youth, and young adults since 1936. We have supported research spanning multiple disciplines including child psychology, community mental health, and sociology.

Nelson Mandela's eldest grandson has confirmed that the former South African president is sitting up in bed and talking after being taken to hospital on Wednesday night as a result of a recurring lung infection.
Mandla Mandela, who is an ANC MP, said that his grandfather was "well", but said there were no immediate plans for him to return home.
"We are letting the doctors do what best they can. He is still undergoing medical check-ups," he said.
He added that he was confident that the 94-year-old, who has been treated in hospital three times in the past four months for respiratory problems, would be back with his family before long. "Madiba", as he is known, was taken to hospital around midnight on Wednesday, but his 32-year-old grandson stressed that the family were under no illusions about his state of health, given his age.
"We have been blessed as a family to have my grandfather all these years with us, we have cherished every moment and continue to do so," he said.
"My grandfather has never belonged to us, he belongs to the country and the global community. His service has been inspirational, not just to us as a family but to millions around the world, and he continues to be an inspiration to us all."
Nelson Mandela became South Africa's first black, democratically elected president in 1994 after he was released from 27 years' imprisonment under the apartheid regime. Amid racial and inter-party tensions that threatened to plunge the country into civil war in the 1990s, he held South Africans together in a peace that largely holds to this day. Mandla Mandela, who has taken up the traditional chieftaincy in his grandfather's Xhosa homeland in the Eastern Cape village of Qunu, added that prayers were being said there for his swift recovery.
Prayers were also being said in Soweto, where Mr Mandela lived during his days as an anti-apartheid activist.
"Qunu without my grandfather is never the same - he has always been the anchor of the community," Mr Mandela said. "Everyone is in high spirits when he is around. They are waiting for him to return, but now he is having medical check-ups they are keeping him in their prayers." Mr Mandela moved "indefinitely" from his house in the smart Johannesburg suburb of Houghton to his home in Qunu, which is surrounded with rolling hills and traditional huts, in July 2011, and has said he wants to end his days there. But he has had to remain in the country's commercial capital since his lung infection in December.
Mandla Mandela was yesterday preparing to drive the 550 miles from Qunu to Pretoria to visit his grandfather, who is thought to be at 1 Military Hospital.
Among visitors to his bedside yesterday were his wife Graca, his former wife Winnie, his oldest daughter Maki, and grandsons Kweku and Ndaba.
George Bizos, Mr Mandela's lawyer and lifelong friend, said he believed the former president had a strong desire to fight back to better health. "It's a matter one doesn't have to discuss. I am 84 - every one of us wants to keep on going," Mr Bizos said. "I think that he has always had confidence in members of the [health] profession and he has the love and care of Graca and members of his family and a few of his friends that go to him from time to time. I think he enjoys that and would like to continue."
Mr Bizos said he saw Mr Mandela "two or three weeks ago".
"He was, for a man of 94, OK. He was sitting up, having a late lunch," he said. "He looked quite comfortable and well under the circumstances. As a prisoner he was ill on more than one occasion and he has overcome the difficulties that he has had in his later years. He has had a couple of problems but somehow he always manages to overcome any disabilities and be himself again."
A statement from President Jacob Zuma's office confirmed that Mr Mandela seemed to be getting better. "The presidency wishes to advise that Mr Mandela is in good spirits and enjoyed a full breakfast this morning," it read.

I'd recommend you read the
Boat Inspection Trip Tips
thread I started, as it will help you determine whether either of these boats is worth going any further with, and save you the cost of a survey on the real lemons.
I would also recommend you save at least 20% of your budget for refitting, upgrading and customizing the boat you end up buying. Unlike cars, most boats need to be specifically customized to best suite the way you will use it and how you will sail it.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Downhome, handclapping fun that includes a dancing legend!
McPherson's third album, Wedgwood, releases June 10.
Tony Lucca is his first self-titled release, and his first entirely self-produced effort.
"I used to play really long, uninterrupted improvisations when I played local shows in Stockholm back then, and it developed from that. I didn't sit down and actually write out the notes for it; when I'm feeling inspired, the music just flows out of me. It's in my head and my ears and flows out of my fingers."
"I got home with a pretty good buzz on, picked up my axe, turned on the 4-track, cranked it loud as hell with the loose buzz theory that anything and everything goes, and just played it," Dimebag recalls.
"We didn't know where that song was going until one afternoon when we went to record the melody and I plugged a wah-wah pedal and a Tubedriver into my 100-watt Marshall," says Joe Satriani. "Then, just on a whim, I said, 'Let's try this harmonizer.' It was one of those Eventide 949s. The sound that came out of the speakers blew us away so much that we recorded the melody and the solo in about a half-hour and sat back and went, 'Whoa! This is a song, man!'

Clinton seemed to come to the night aware of her rising negative numbers -- her jabs were sharp, but she repeatedly returned to the need for a Democrat (any Democrat) to win.
Yet among the debate's most memorable lines: her concession, when pressed, on whether that winning Democrat can be Obama: "Yes. Yes. Yes. Now, I think I can do a better job." (Superdelegates may need a bit more than that.)
That's the AP's Beth Fouhy's lead: "Hillary Rodham Clinton said emphatically Wednesday night that Barack Obama can win the White House this fall, undercutting her efforts to deny him the Democratic presidential nomination by suggesting he would lead the party to defeat."
But the heat belonged mostly to Obama: "The encounter, particularly in the early stages, seemed more like a grilling of Obama on a Sunday-morning talk show than a debate between the two candidates," Anne Kornblut and Dan Balz write in The Washington Post.
It was a "tense and grim encounter," per the Philadelphia Inquirer's Larry Eichel. "Obama, who seemed on the defensive for much of the conversation about personal vulnerabilities, said that such topics -- including the fact that he rarely wears an American flag lapel pin -- distract people from dealing with the more pressing matters of economics, health care and foreign policy."
The Chicago Sun-Times' Lynn Sweet saw a dry run for the general: "If Obama does become the Democratic nominee -- highly likely, even if he does not do well in the April 22 Pennsylvania Democratic primary -- Wednesday's debate could be seen as a preview of what Obama will be hit with by the Republicans."
That was Clinton's warning -- as argued in what's really a case to superdelegates: "They're going to be out there in full force," she said of Republicans in a general election. (And they have company.)
"The debate -- while its impact on Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary could be negligible -- also seemed to buttress the central argument of Clinton and her husband against Obama's candidacy: that he will be an inviting target for John McCain in the fall," writes Politico's Carrie Budoff Brown.
"In fact, the questions essentially constituted the Republican case against Obama in a general election."
It was a good night to be a Republican: "The big winner wasn't either Democrat. It was Republican John McCain," Philip Klein writes for The American Spectator.
Among the takeaways: The "dream ticket" is a shared nightmare. "Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton carved each other up, sometimes gingerly and sometimes ferociously, in a debate Wednesday night that focused on some of the worst moments of the presidential campaign and the candidates' ability to win election in November," The Chicago Tribune's Mike Dorning and Christi Parsons write.
To the incoming fire, Obama offered what's become a stock response: The attacks, he said, were part of the old politics he's trying to change. (The question becomes whether he'll get that chance.)
The grades from Mark Halperin, of Time and ABC News: B+ for Obama: "Subdued and secure, but often peevish and cross, seemingly fed up with Clinton's fight and impatient to claim the nomination (the less attractive part of his personality shining through)," he writes. "A surly, tepid night for Obama, but he still emerged stalwart and in the lead."

Launch of LifeGuard Structures: Introducing Personal Earthquake Protection Against Structural Failure and Building Collapse
SEATTLE, March 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — LifeGuard Structures LLC of Seattle, WA is introducing a product line of furniture designed to protect human life in an earthquake, especially in a multi-storey building collapse. The new company is the first to provide personal bodily protection for people who live and work in earthquake-prone areas. Desks, tables and consoles are built to support over a million pounds, while a person can remain safely inside with access to emergency supplies. The furniture is body armor in disguise, attractive and built for practical everyday use. LifeGuard(TM) adds a critical missing component to earthquake preparedness.
Underneath its skin, LifeGuard(TM) units are built like a tank. Each LifeGuard(TM) product is comprised of a powerful steel skeleton with a "Crumple Zone(TM)" which absorbs energy from large falling beams, floors or objects. A person can easily fit inside with protection from all sides. During an earthquake the floor keeps a person moving with the unit. If a LifeGuard(TM) is on a collapsing floor, it will protect the person inside from impact and punctures from below. Life-saving items stored within the furniture include a high quality respiration mask, emergency lighting, emergency blankets, tools, first aid, sanitary provisions, signaling devices and enough water and food to last for several weeks.
LifeGuard(TM) substantially increases the chances of survival during a building collapse and protects against the dangers of shifting debris during aftershocks and during excavation for rescue.
LifeGuard Structures has succeeded in creating a innovative solution to this worldwide problem: many millions of people are at risk in the buildings that they live and work in.
Based in Seattle, Washington, LifeGuard Structures is the developer and manufacturer of protective furniture for the office, school and home. Its goal is to protect people from unexpected disasters by producing affordable, high quality, very strong protective structures. For more information please visit their website at www.LifeGuardStructures.com

KUSA - Thousands of students across the country celebrated reading on Friday in honor of Dr. Seuss - the man who gave the world classic children's books like "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Green Eggs and Ham."
Gov. John Hickenlooper read from "The Cat in the Hat" from the Colorado Capitol.
"We remember Dr. Seuss for changing the manner in which we teach children to read," Mayor Michael Hancock said in a statement. "...Today's celebration thus offers us the opportunity to underscore the importance of early literacy as a critical foundation for our city's children."
National Read Across America Day usually falls on March 2 - Dr. Seuss' birthday - but was a day earlier this year in order to happen on a school day.
It was founded by the National Education Association in 1998, according to the NEA's website. Friday, everyone from schools to community centers to churches and hospitals host local events to celebrate and promote children's reading.
"[The] ability to read directly affects their future success, and the future of our entire city rests on our kids," Hancock said.

Ham Member Lookups: 68122
I was born at September 9th 1990, at Havana into a family with SPANISH ASCENDENCY (La Palma de Gran Canarias). Licensed when I just had 12 years old, at 2002 (minimal age required by the law) motivated for a hurricane and the promotion of TV News about the Hams Role during the emergency.
But my passion for SWL began some years ago, while my grandpa (RIP) and I heard together baseball games every night by local AM Broadcast. Our radio was an Old 1971 Russian receiver called VEF-201. Someday I turned the bands selector and discovered many transmissions in several languages and many others in Spanish coming from remote places. That was my first meeting with this wonderful world. Today I spent 90% of my hobby time to RECEIVE and FIND RARE Transmissions.
I was interested specially in CW for passing my test and got my technician license call sign CL2IR at 2003. Upgraded to General Class: CM2IR at 2004 and hold it for eight years. (2004-2012).

Nowadays you can find me in Contest, and High Speed CW using my ears and my key (old school telegraphist).
EDUCATION: Beside the radio, education it's really important for me, so I began a career as Electronics Technician at Local Polytechnic School (Osvaldo Herrera) and after four years of sacrifice I graduated with Gold Award of Electronics Technician and earned an invitation to start a career at the University as Telecommunications and Electronics Engineering (CUJAE) (www.cujae.edu.cu).
I started the hard ways to be an engineer at 2010 and I am still trying learning indefatigably more every day. I love my career and I am planning to finish the university very soon.
ON THE AIR: All bands, all modes, mainly CW at WARC bands at weekends, afternoons, lunch and dinner time, holidays, summer and Christmas vacations and very early in the morning while exams (and YL) let me free time.
INTEREST: DX, QSL Collection, REAL countries Flags Collection, QRP experiments, antennas making and repairs (Specially Computers -desk and laps- and RADIOS). Also Photography, foreign architecture, History about 2nd World War, Parachuting, play the guitar and many others things.

Bills coaching carousel stops on Chan Gailey
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. Upon introducing Chan Gailey as the Buffalo Bills new head coach, general manager Buddy Nix had a momentary memory lapse.
"This is the 15th head coach," Nix said, before pausing.
"Is that right?" he added, looking to a Bills official to ensure his count was correct. "I thought there were more than that."
No, it just seems that way in Buffalo.
Hired on Tuesday, Gailey becomes the 15th coach in the franchise's 51-year history, but more notably fifth in 10 years.
In replacing Dick Jauron, who was fired in November, Gailey is the latest candidate being asked to instill stability and provide identity to a once-proud franchise that has gone 10 years without a playoff berth and coming off its fifth straight losing season.
Add in an extended search during which fans clamored for the Bills to hire a big-name candidate such as Bill Cowher or Mike Shanahan, and it's evident how big of a challenge Gailey faces in landing his second NFL head-coaching job.
"I can't say anything to change anybody's mind. All I can do is go try to help us win football games," Gailey said. "We win football games, everybody's minds will be changed, right?"
After Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier was considered the front-runner for the job, Gailey emerged as the surprise choice as Nix made his first major decision since being promoted to the GM post two weeks ago. Gailey brings with him an extensive resume as an offensive expert, and a 35-year coaching career, which include two notable head-coaching jobs.
Gailey had a two-year stint with the Cowboys that ended in 1999 when he was fired despite an 18-14 record and leading Dallas to consecutive playoff appearances - both losses. He went 44-33 in six years at Georgia Tech, and led the Yellow Jackets to six bowl appearances but was fired in 2007 after going 0-6 against rival Georgia.
For Nix, Gailey met most of the criteria he set out in his search. Nix was eager to find someone with previous head-coaching experience and who had an offensive background.
"Without any doubt in my mind, we got the best qualified guy, a guy that was on the list early," Nix said. "We got the right guy for us. I've got full confidence in him to answer your question."
Gailey also got a big vote of support from Jerry Jones in Dallas. In congratulating Gailey upon his return to the NFL head coaching ranks, the Cowboys owner also reiterated that he still regrets firing Gailey.
"I'm proud for Chan Gailey," Jones said. "I'm glad to see him have the opportunity to get back as head coach in the NFL. He did an outstanding job at Georgia Tech. He's really a top coach and will do a great job."
That still doesn't stop skeptics from wondering whether the Bills misfired again.
The team hired Gregg Williams over John Fox in 2001, while Jauron was hired ahead of Mike Sherman in 2006. Mike Mularkey, who lasted only two years, was hired ahead of Charlie Weis in 2004.

MMO company Perfect World Entertainment is making a major push into the free-to-play market on video game consoles. The company announced that it has completed a company expansion by creating a console division targeting current and next-gen consoles. Planned console products expected include current and future games from Perfect World Entertainment's suite of developers, the company said.
Trion Worlds today revealed a game called Trove that can best be described as a mix of Minecraft and a free-to-play online adventure RPG. Trion isn't saying too much about the game, save that it is a free-to-play online adventure RPG that has been in development by a small team inside the studio over the past year.
Trove will offer dynamically generated worlds that are "fully constructible and destructible, giving gamers an endless universe of worlds where they can adventure, create, and explore," according to Trion.
Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) has partnership with South Korean publisher Daum Communications to bring the massively multiplayer online first-person shooter (MMOFPS) PlanetSide 2 to the region. SOE and Daum will showcase PlanetSide 2 at the G-STAR Global Game Exhibition in Busan, South Korea on November 14-16, 2013.
Daum has secured the exclusive publishing rights to the game, including dedicated servers, local customer support and payment gateways for South Korea. PlanetSide 2 will launch in the region as a free-to-play game.
Trion Worlds announced that last week's participation in the Extra Life charity marathon and a promotion related to it helped give its MMORPGs RIFT Online and Defiance a record-breaking week last week. The company said that over a quarter of a million new players joined their online games, RIFT and Defiance. Bookended by the relaunch of RIFT as a free-to-play game on Steam and the charity marathon for Extra Life, Trion's celebration week included promotions, in-game special events, and giveaways across both games to celebrate both new and veteran players.
Electronic Arts announced this week that it has canceled Command & Conquer, the free-to-play reimagining of the popular real-time strategy game. In a blog post developer Victory Games announced that fan reaction to the alpha of the game is what put the final nail in the coffin for the project:
RuneScape makers Jagex say that the recent introduction of RuneScape Bonds into the long-running MMO has reduced gold farming activities by as much as 81 percent. Bonds were introduced into the game on September 26. A Bond in RuneScape cost $5, £3 or €4.25 each and can only be redeemed in-game. Bonds are redeemable for 14 days of RuneScape membership, eight Squeal of Fortune spins, or 160 RuneCoins. Multiple Bonds can also be redeemed for RuneFest tickets (RuneFest is a fan gathering that will take place at the Tobacco Dock in London on November 2).
After hitting a major milestone with Plants vs. Zombies 2 - 25 million downloads on iOS devices - PopCap Games' has decided that it is finally time to bring the free-to-play strategy game sequel to Android devices worldwide. The Android version of the game is available right now through Google Play and features full integration with Google Play's Game Services.
The Android version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 includes all the same features and functionality found in the iOS version, according to PopCap.
Softbank and GungHo Online are making a substantial investment in Finnish free-to-play and mobile gaming juggernaut Supercell. The company is selling a 51 percent stake for $1.53 billion to Japan's SoftBank and game developer GungHo Online Entertainment. The strategic investment will make Supercell a subsidiary of Softbank, with the funds being used to fuel Supercell's global expansion.
EVE Online and DUST 514 maker CCP Games has hired veteran game producer Jean-Charles Gaudechon. Gaudechon will serve as the executive producer of DUST 514, CCP's free-to-play first-person shooter on PlayStation 3. Gaudechon will drive future development of the persistent-world first-person-shooter DUST 514 at CCP's Shanghai studio, according to the company.
Sony Online Entertainment has announced that "new, current and returning EverQuest II players" will be able to purchase high level characters in its free-to-play MMO beginning today. This, the company says, will allow players to jump right into the Tears of Veeshan expansion, when it launches in November. To celebrate the launch of the program, SOE will allow players to create one permanent Heroic Character for free as part of its "Hero's Call" event. That will run from October 1-15.
The UK's Office of Fair Trading (OFT) is warning app and game developers that high-pressure monetization in programs that are aimed at children needs to be avoided going forward. The OFT made its announcement today after months of investigation (which began in April) into allegations that some free online apps and games for children were using questionable tactics to get children to purchase in-game items - often without parental consent. The OFT examined 38 games related to this practice and drafted a set of guidelines for UK developers.
In July of this year, EA announced that it would be shutting down its German studio, EA Phenomic. The company handled the ongoing development of a number of free-to-play online games including Spellforce, Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances, and Battleforge.
PopCap's latest entry in the popular Plants v. Zombies series on iOS is very popular. According to the company, the free-to-play Plants vs. Zombies sequel has been downloaded nearly 25 million times since its launch on August 25. PopCap claims that this represents more than the total lifetime downloads for the original Plants vs. Zombies. Of course, being that this game is free-to-play and the original costs $20, you can kind of see why this one might be more widely enjoyed (people like free stuff).
Developer Splash Damage has decided to rename its free-to-play PC action game Dirty Bomb to Extraction. Given how the NSA might put you on a special list for searching for the term "Dirty Bomb," we think that is the best move for both fans and the Brink developer. Splash Damage also announced a publishing deal for Extraction with Nexon for launch in Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand.
In an Engadget interview that took place last week during Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, Electronic Arts COO Peter Moore said that the company no longer ships games that are "offline."
Speaking at length with Engadget following his company's Gamescom 2013 press event, Moore said that EA's current dedication to online functionality in its games is unmatched:
"We don't ship a game at EA that is offline."
In a memo sent to employees today, Big Fish Games CEO Paul Thelen announced that the company is laying off 49 employees in its Seattle office and shutting down its office in Vancouver. Projects in the Vancouver office would be moved to Seattle.
Microsoft confirmed today at Gamescom that its Xbox One fighting game Killer Instinct will release for free with one fighter (Jago) and that each additional character will cost $5.
Microsoft also plans to release DLC combo packs with multiple characters and extras too; the Combo Breaker Pack ($20) will offer the first eight characters from the game (six at launch, two later on down the road); and the Ultra Edition ($40) which features eight characters, accessory packs, costumes, and a digital copy of the original Killer Instinct game.
PopCap has taken some criticism for jumping on the free-to-play bandwagon with Plants vs. Zombies 2 (which was released this week on iOS), but PopCap CEO Dave Roberts says that free-to-play isn't all that different from the business model it started with more than a decade ago.
While details are pretty thin at this point, Deep Silver announced that it is working on a free-to-play MOBA-style game based on its survival horror action game series Dead Island. Calling it a "Zombie Online Multiplayer Battle Arena" game for PC, Deep Silver's Dead Island Epidemic pits three teams of players against each other in a fight for their survival. The game is in development only for PC at this point.
Deep Silver also says that the game will feature "all the trademark elements that are part of the a Dead Island experience."
It looks like another big franchise will dip its toe into the free-to-play waters on Sony's PlayStation Network. Namco Bandai Games announced today that the newest game in its ultra popular Ace Combat series is Ace Combat Infinity for PS3. Scheduled for release in late 2013 exclusively as a download on PSN, Ace Combat Infinity promises a brand new story campaign and team co-op multiplayer in a free-to-play setting.
InnoGames says that its advertising campaign on television in the United Kingdom has helped the company's free-to-play strategy game Forge of Empires surpass the 10 million registered user mark. The ads have been running for several weeks in the UK, with InnoGames planning a long-term TV campaign for the title.
Ubisoft's free-to-play online strategy RPG Epic Quest for Mighty Loot is going to dump 'pay to win' microtransactions, according to Joystiq. The game's developers announced today that certain in-game items will be removed from the in-game store because they unbalance the game for players that aren't willing to pay.
GamesIndustry International is reporting that EA Phenomic has been closed. The studio responsible for developing Spellforce and Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances is believed to employ around 60 people at one time, though the actual number of employees it had before closing is unknown as of this writing. While EA would not comment on the particulars of the studio's closure, it did issue a statement explaining why it had to shut Phenomic down:
The World of Warcraft version 5.4 update is alive and kicking on the Public Test Realm today, according to Blizzard. According to the patch notes, the update adds a new siege, flexible raid difficulty, a redesigned arena system, and a few other odds and ends. More importantly, the update adds an in-game store where players can buy a variety of buffs and other items. No doubt the selection of offerings will be limited for the purposes of the test phase.
After an in-game store was discovered on a World of Warcraft test server, Blizzard publicly acknowledged that it is looking into adding microtransactions to its long-running MMORPG. In response to questions about this from members of the community, Blizzard community representative Jonathan Brown made the following post on the Battle.net forums:
If you decide to play certain free-to-play MMO-style games on the PlayStation 4 you may not need to have a PlayStation Plus subscription. According to Sony Online Entertainment, publishers of those games can decide whether or not they will make Plus a requirement. SOE is developing two of its current properties for play on PS4 - PlanetSide 2 and DC Universe Online - and both of them do not need a Plus membership in order to play.
Besides serving up the most misogynistic moment of E3 so far (during the press conference when the Killer Instinct lead told an Xbox Community Manager to "Just let it happen, it'll be over soon"), Microsoft revealed that Killer Instinct for Xbox One would be free… sort of. The game will let you have the very first character - Jago - with the game when you download it. But after that, all other characters from the game are going to cost you extra.

David and Tiffany Hartley knew they lived in a dangerous part of the world.
Human body parts were dumped on a street in Reynosa, Mexico, once their home, and drug cartels fought turf wars.
But the two outdoors lovers had long ago decided they weren't going to live in fear; they were going to enjoy life to its fullest.
"Our motto was 'no fear,' " Tiffany Hartley said Saturday in a phone interview from her current home in Texas. "David is not afraid of anything."
On Thursday afternoon, Tiffany Hartley said, her husband was shot in the back of the head as they were being chased in Mexican waters on Falcon Reservoir, 2 miles from the Texas border that divides the lake.
Hartley, 29, said she outraced pirates who were shooting at her as she rode a powerful personal watercraft that can reach speeds of 75 mph. Bullets were striking the water all around her and in front of her.
"I'm alive because of God's protection. There is no other reason," she said.
Authorities say the Hartleys' sightseeing trip to Old Guerrero to take photographs of a Catholic church half-submerged in water was taking "no fear" too far.
In April and May, pirates — mostly on the Mexico side of Falcon Reservoir — had robbed U.S. fishermen, posing as federales or U.S. fish and game wardens, officials say.
But Tiffany Hartley said the pirates hadn't struck in several months, and her husband, a history buff, wanted to visit the church at Old Guerrero.
"He would never put me in danger intentionally," she said.
Before they went, however, they discussed what would happen if they were chased. They decided they would not take a chance of her getting kidnapped and their watercrafts stolen.
"We decided if someone came after us, we were going to high-tail it out of there. We knew we could outrun them," Tiffany Hartley said.
Now she said she is in limbo awaiting word about her husband's body, hoping it will be found.
"It's scary," she said.
David Hartley had been a bull rider while attending Thompson Valley High School in Loveland, where the two met before they got married eight years ago.
Their favorite thing to do was go on vacations to remote areas near the ocean to go scuba diving.
They had gone to Key West, Fla., about two weeks ago and had seen a bull shark while diving. David loved to hunt big game, including buffalo, antelope and elk, and go ice fishing. He rode his motorcycle as part of a church motorcycle ministry.
They were planning to move back to Colorado this week, working for the same employer — a company that restores dry water wells.

An eating disorder is a serious medical illness. Eating disorders can be characterized by limiting food take or overeating. Sometimes exercise, vomiting, laxatives, or diuretics are used to eliminate food and calories from the body.
A common misconception is that everyone with an eating disorder is visibly skinny or at a low body weight. Eating disorders are generally kept secret, and people may deny that they have a problem.
The main types of eating disorders are:
Look for these signs and symptoms:
There are many factors that may contribute to developing an eating disorder, including:
Eating disorders can become chronic and life-threatening if not identified or treated in their early stages. Treatment of eating disorders is often tailored specifically on an individual basis. Most treatments involve forms of psychotherapy and psychological counseling in connection with nutrition and medical support. Counseling, medical, and nutritional help should always be given by a health care or mental health professional. Relapse rates from eating disorders are estimated at 30 – 50%, so long term monitoring and treatment is important.
To help prevent eating disorders in yourself and others, you can:
It is important that treatment for eating disorders be provided by a health care or mental health provider. If you are constantly preoccupied with food, body image, or exercise, consider contacting a health care provider.
Helping a friend or loved one with an eating disorder can save a life. You can help by engaging them in an open dialogue with the goal of seeking help from a health care provider. When deciding whether to discuss these issues with someone, think about your relationship to the individual. Does he or she consider you a close, trusted, and appropriate person to confront them about this issue? Before talking to your friend, consider these suggestions:

Starting to feel anxious about "going home" or being around family for the holidays? Here are seven tips to help you make the most of the season and enjoy the break from academic pressures.
For many of us, sitting for extended periods of time glaring at a computer screen is an integral part of our daily routine. Yet little do we recognize how significantly the design and arrangement of our computer workstation equipment impacts our health. Improper computer ergonomics is a leading cause of neck and back pain, shoulder fatigue, carpal tunnel, and eye strain.
Approaching an individual with a personal health-related issue is a process often involving many elements including engaging in dialogue, educating yourself and your friend, and exploring resources, with the eventual goal of them seeking additional help from a health care professional.
Anger is a common, normal, healthy emotion felt by most people. It can range from mild irritation or annoyance to full-blown rage or physical violence.
Although ads for products promising rapid weight loss are everywhere, most of these products do not deliver their promises. Any immediate weight loss is often regained in a number of weeks because it was not sustainable weight loss. Good nutrition and regular exercise are proven ways to stay at a healthy weight.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD, is a condition that makes it difficult for people to control their attention and behavior. It usually appears before age seven. ADHD symptoms may create difficulties getting work done. Symptoms may also affect relationships with friends and family.
It is common to have a hard time focusing on schoolwork sometimes, or to occasionally be impulsive in decision making. These symptoms by themselves do not mean that you have ADHD.
Although symptoms of the disorder vary by individual and can range from mild to severe, some of the most common signs are:
Other behaviors related to ADHD are chronic lateness and forgetfulness, anxiety, difficulty organizing, difficulty controlling anger, impulsiveness, and substance abuse.
People with ADHD are easily distracted by sights and sounds in their environment, cannot concentrate for long periods of time, are often restless, have a tendency to daydream, and may be slow to complete tasks.
Studies show that men are twice as likely as women to be diagnosed with ADHD, and that between 2 and 6% of the adult population has the disorder. At least one student in every classroom in the United States has been diagnosed with ADHD.
ADHD should only be diagnosed by an experienced and qualified professional such as an educational psychologist or a psychiatrist. Since the symptoms of ADHD are common to may other conditions, you should never self-diagnose. Instead, seek a comprehensive evaluation from a qualified professional. A comprehensive evaluation may include exploring personal and family medical history, and psychological testing. Hall Health is unable to perform ADD/ADHD evaluations. If you are in need of an evaluation, please see our page on ADD/ADHD Testing and Medication Resources.

A Hart High student was assaulted yesterday afternoon while she walked home from the Valencia Town Center.
According to deputies the girl was hit with a beer bottle possibly thrown by the occupants of a white mid-size truck. The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m.
The girl was struck in the upper chest and sheriffs are looking for anyone who was in the area and might have seen the incident.
"She came in crying with her shirt covered in the liquid," said the girl's father. "She's never been hit like that before and was dumbfounded."
Deputies believe this was an isolated incident but are still looking for the suspects.
"Thank God the bottle didn't hit her in the head," said Detective Darland who took the report.
The girl suffered bruising and welts from the impact but had no significant injuries.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Santa Clarita Sheriffs Station at (661) 255-1121.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Chance in UgandaAugust 23, 2012
Prior to the trip, I emailed Jonathan Rossouw and mentioned that my target bird for Uganda was the Pennant-Tailed Nightjar. This is a pretty tough get. A well camouflaged night bird, it is nearly impossible to see during the day unless you step on one and, of course, it is tough to see in the dark at night. Rossouw replied: "Prayer is the only answer, but I will do my damned to put you in the right place so that if our prayers are answered, you will see the bird." We got to the right spot and were out a couple of hours after sunset, but no bird. The locals noted "that bird hasn't been here for three months." Two days later, during the late afternoon, we are in a completely different location and I see one in flight. This is not an easy object identification. The bird has long streamers flowing from each wing, sort of the P-38 of the bird world. It elicits a "what the hell is that?" response and then it hits you--that's the bird. Jonathan and I get off the vehicle and run after the bird. The ranger gets up on the roof of the vehicle and shouts "Get back here, there are lions to the left." I Look at Rossouw. He says "this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance--let's go see the bird." We were careful going around corners and were rewarded with magnificent views--full breeding plumage displayed in flight in full daylight.

Did You Know...the Origins of Bungee JumpingAugust 21, 2012
Did you know that though the art of bungee jumping in the western world has been around for nearly 40 years, the origins of the sport date back much further? Take a cruise with us to Pentecost Island, Vanuatu in the South Pacific…
Home to naghol, or land diving, the men of Pentecost have been participating in this ritual for decades. Legend has it that a woman was trying to escape her abusive husband and ran up a tree to hide. He followed her and she jumped out of the tree—only after tying vines to her legs. He jumped after her and died on impact, while his wife survived the fall. There are differing reports, but some say the men of the island started diving so as not to be tricked by women again.
Over time the ritual has evolved—the main purpose now is to ensure a bountiful yam harvest. The ceremony takes place only in April and May, and once the men dive they, hopefully gently, grace the ground with their shoulders or head, blessing the soil.
Today, instead of jumping out of trees, they now jump off a manmade structure, around 98-feet tall. A trusted village elder measures the length of the vines, based solely on years of trial and error, and ties one to each foot. As the diver jumps, the crowd goes silent, likely holding their breath until he lands. The islanders then let out a collective sigh and rush to check on him before celebrating his courage.
View this original form of bungee jumping in person on our Faces of Melanesia expedition, March 23 – April 8, 2013.
