ZombiU E3 2012 gameplay [Video]5 Jun 2012
We promised you ZombiU footage, and you know what? We've got ZombiU footage.
This particular gameplay trailer shows off the way you can use the Wii U controller to interact with the environment and the zombies. Personal favourites include the sniping, and the swinging-the-controller-to-smack-a-zombie-in-the-face-with-a-pickaxe. Which, if the game manages to make players jump, could well result in a few Wii U controllers slipping out of sweaty hands and smashing into walls on launch day.Related to this story

(AP) Iraqi officials say a double bombing near a Shiite mosque in Baghdad has killed five people, including four worshippers.
Police say that the bombs went off outside the al-Sadrein mosque and at a nearby police checkpoint as Friday noon prayers ended in the mostly Shiite neighborhood of Zafaraniyah in southeastern Baghdad.
They say at least 26 worshippers were wounded.
A medical official in a nearby hospital confirms the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media.
Violence has dropped in Iraq since the height of the insurgency a few years ago but militants still launch deadly attacks against security forces and Shiites in an attempt to undermine the Shiite-led government.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa on Monday asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to convene a meeting of chief ministers as the March 12 meeting of officials will "not serve the purpose."
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Monday demanded that the Prime Minister first come out with a background paper spelling out the roles of the Central and State governments in the proposed National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC) and then convene a meeting of Chief Ministers to discuss the issue.
Contending that the formation of the NCTC was an attack on the federal structure, she asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to convene a meeting of Chief Ministers since larger issues concerning the Constitution were involved.
In response to the Union Home Ministry's communication to the Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary requesting him to attend an official meeting on March 12 along with the State Home Secretary and the Director-General of Police, Ms. Jayalalithaa said the proposed centre would be a non-starter without the involvement of the State governments.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, she urged him to convene a meeting of the Chief Ministers after circulating a background paper that would speak about the roles of the Centre and the States and offer insights into how they could work together in the fight against terrorism.
"Tinkering with a few provisions such as renaming the Designated Authority or arming the Intelligence Bureau with the power of arrest and seizure, or dictating to State governments about the formation of Inter-State Intelligence Support Teams will hardly help in this fight against terrorism," Ms. Jayalalithaa said. When many Chief Ministers had expressed their concerns to the Prime Minister directly, a meeting chaired by the Union Home Secretary would not serve the purpose, she added.
Availability and transmission of advance intelligence, remaining in a state of alertness, and modernisation of equipment, coupled with advanced training, were the key elements of any anti-terrorism establishment. When a Counter Terrorism Centre was contemplated at the national level, a process of consultation through a formal communication should have been initiated with the States, she said.
However, the Chief Minister said she had instructed the Chief Secretary, the Home Secretary and the DGP to attend the March 12 meeting. She also recalled the two letters she had written to the Prime Minister on February 17 and 20 in which she recorded her strong objections to the constitution of the NCTC, drawing attention to certain provisions which "trampled upon" the legitimate rights of the State governments enshrined in the Constitution.

Web Letter
Obviously, we were meant to arrive at this time in Earth's history. Each day, we witness an exponential awakening of people to the clarion call of water. Listen to the tones: water for life, water for survival, water for economic and political stability, water in the name of equality, for all. Yes, inevitably, the day will soon arrive when most of us will be awakened to water's call by one means or another. And, through synchronicity--how frighteningly fitting for this day to visit us as we face global financial turmoil.
But fear not! For within the creative source of life, water holds the key of forgiveness, as we waste time and precious energy arguing over whose lips shall be blessed with water. The key is simple. All we have to do, en masse, is to join hands with water's creative powers to restore our dying planet to a planet of abundant life. As a teacher, water shows us how quickly its powers can restore life to a polluted river, coral reef, forest, mountain or city. All we have to do is invest our energies into working with water's creative power, and we will reap an unimaginable return on our investment.
Again, we were meant to arrive at this time. So, be calm and fear not. Our awakening to water's magnificence and beauty will be a sight to behold as we take the next step in our evolution. I dread to consider the cannibalistic alternative if we do not heed water's message, and fail to evolve beyond our present condition.

Trial set to begin in slaying of transgender woman
DENVER Angie Zapata was a tall woman with striking black hair and eyes who would attract the attention of men, even those who knew she was biologically male.
But prosecutors say when Allen Andrade found out, he beat her to death with a fire extinguisher. Her sister discovered her battered body under a blanket in her Greeley apartment last July.
Andrade, 32, of Thorton, is scheduled to go on trial Tuesday on charges including first-degree murder and a bias-motivated crime, which could add three years to his prison sentence if convicted.
Andrade told investigators that he struck Zapata twice in the head with the extinguisher and thought he had "killed it" before hitting her again as she struggled to get up, an arrest affidavit said. The pair met through a mobile networking site and had spent the night.
Andrade is being held without bond at the Weld County jail. A message left for Kevin Strobel, head of the Greeley public defender's office, which is representing Andrade, was not immediately returned.
Nearly a year after her death, friends and family continue to cope with the loss of the 18-year-old Zapata, who grew up in Fort Lupton, a farming community of about 6,800 people, before moving to Greeley to help her sister Monica care for her kids.
Monica Zapata and 20-year-old Rochelle Camacho, Angie Zapata's friend since kindergarten, recalled Angie's life and her struggle with dating as a transgender woman.
The young Justin Zapata, as Angie was first known, preferred to gel his hair in a girl's hairstyle and grow out his fingernails, even at a young age.
"She wore a bra to second grade stuffed with a hard paper towel," said Camacho. "We were on the playground, and I took some of the paper towel out, and asked what is he doing. And from then on, I knew."
Camacho was 13 when she first saw Justin Zapata dress as Angie. Angie wore jeans, a tight top and a pullover to hide her flat chest for a walk around a Fort Lupton neighborhood. A male friend didn't recognize her.
She started living as a girl at age 16.
"I couldn't even take Angie to the laundry mat because she would draw a lot of attention," Monica Zapata said. "Even the girls would go up to her and be all, 'How do you do your makeup like that?'"
There were also stares and whispers from strangers and a long line of heterosexual suitors disappointed at the news that she was biologically male.
"I heard her conversations. 'Hey, before we go any further, I have something to tell you.' A lot of times I would see she would be on the phone and she'd be, 'Hello? Hello?" said Monica Zapata. "Some would hang up on her. Other times, some would be asking questions."
Angie Zapata had several relationships, including one with a heterosexual man that lasted four months, Monica Zapata said. But that relationship ended the way most did – with the boyfriend dating a biological woman.

Episode #101
Should Businesses Trust the Internet?
Friday, April 11, 2014
The internet has always been a Wild West of sorts, and recent news suggests things are not getting much better. This week we learned about the so-called Heartbleed Bug, which put sensitive information on tens of millions of servers at risk. It's just the latest vulnerability or attack to come to light. Meanwhile, the U.S. has been trying to negotiate with Chinese officials over cyber warfare — to little avail. This week on Money Talking, Rana Foroohar of Time magazine and Kevin Delaney of the business news site Quartz discuss whether individuals and businesses can trust the internet when much of what's happening on the web makes people squeamish, anxious or downright scared.
Guests:Kevin Delaney
Hosted by:Heidi Moore
Produced by:Daniel P. Tucker
Contributors:Rana Foroohar

Today's Heartbleed discussion was inane. The internet was developed when the world was more stable? The internet is balkanizing? Can governments control the internet? How do you define stable, Balkanize, and control? What do the questions even mean? The commentary did nothing to add to our knowledge. But it did fill the time.
The interesting question, if you look into it, is the so-called business model that relies on OpenSSL, a library that nearly all https web sessions use, and not a single one funds. It's a technical mess, crucial, and taken for granted instead of taken seriously. That generalized cavalier attitude is the the underlying reason we've had two huge security breaches in OpenSSL in the last few years, and can look forward to more.

US President Barack Obama's proposed budget for fiscal year 2015 will allocate $15.4 billion to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
This is $350 million less than the enacted funding level for fiscal year 2014, which ends on 30 September.
The FAA funding is part of the $90.9 billion that Obama's budget proposal allocates to the Department of Transportation.
About $1 billion in funding is provided for the NextGen system, comprising $836 million through a base request and an additional $186 million through what is dubbed Obama's Opportunity, Growth, and Security Initiative, which allows for $56 billion of new government spending.
The fiscal year 2015 budget request proposes reduced funding for the FAA's airport grants programme to $2.9 billion, by eliminating guaranteed funding for large hub airports and focusing funding on smaller airports that have no access to outside sources of revenue. This is down $450 million from the fiscal year 2014 enacted level.
Obama's budget proposal also calls for an increase of the federal cap on airport passenger facility charges (PFC) to $8 from the existing $4.50 level.
The American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) is calling for Congress to raise this further to $8.50. "The $8.50 level would make up for the loss of purchasing power that airports have experienced since the last adjustment in the PFC by Congress in 2000," says the association.
AAAE's president and chief executive Todd Hauptil says: "Local airport authorities remain hamstrung by a federal cap on local airport user fees that was last adjusted more than 14 years ago and that remains woefully inadequate to meet the very real and growing needs that exist at airports across the country."

Product Overview
- A Dietary Supplement Utilizing Liposomal Encapsulation Technology
- Maximized Bioavailability Delivered via "Smart" Lyposomal Nano-Spheres
- 250 mg R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
- 1,000 mg Essential Phospholipids
The Powerful Health Benefits of "Smart" Lyposomal Nano-Spheres
Our bodies need the phosphatidylcholine that forms the two layers of each "Smart" Lyposomal Nano-Sphere. Unlike all other oral delivery systems that use fillers, binders, gelatins, capsule materials, dyes, artificial sweeteners or flavorings, "Smart" Lyposomal Nano-Spheres eliminate the need for such additives and provide maximized usability as well as maximized bioavailability.
"Smart" Lyposomal Nano-Spheres
What are they? They're sub-microscopic bubbles made from Essential Phospholipids — filled with a chosen supplement. They navigate through the digestive system directly to a particular "target" where they release their contents, eliminating supplement degradation by free-radicals, enzymes, digestive juices, bile salts, foods or other active substances. As a result, individuals may see a dramatic increase in the amount of the supplement actually usable by the body.
"Smart" Lyposomal Nano-Spheres are Very Small
"Smart" Lyposomal Nano-Spheres are very tiny — around 300 nanometers in diameter! 3,000 Nano-Spheres in single file would span a distance about as long as this hyphen: [-]
Suggested Use

iHerb Customer Reviews
This seems to help with blood sugar issues. It may do many other things as well, but that was mainly what I noticed- and not feeling as hungry during the day. It's a good product. I tend to like the livOn products in general, and like their liposomal strategy for getting the vitamins in.

Jimmy Cowan has retained the Highlanders No 9 jersey for the team's clash against the Hurricanes on Saturday.
Scrumhalf Aaron Smith has started in the Landers' wins over the Crusaders and Waratahs in the past two weeks, with All Black Cowan riding the bench after a disappointing performance in the opening round victory against the Chiefs. Head coach Jamie Joseph has decided to rotate his halfbacks for the trip to Wellington.
There are two other changes in the backline. Colin Slade shifts from fullback to flyhalf to fill in for injured 10 Liam Sopaga (shoulder). Ben Smith, who was sidelined with a concussion last week, starts in the No 15 jersey.
The only change among the forwards sees tighthead prop Ma'afu Fia get his first start of the season as he slots in for the injured Chris King (groin).
Highlanders - 15 Ben Smith, 14 Kade Poki, 13 Tamati Ellison, 12 Phil Bureligh, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Colin Slade, 9 Jimmy Cowan, 8 Nasi Manu, 7 John Hardie, 6 Adam Thomson, 5 Nick Crosswell, 4 Josh Bekhuis, 3 Ma'afu Fia, 2 Andrew Hore, 1 Jamie Mackintosh (c).

Failing with Pro Staff racquets
I have a question about science vs. perception regarding which racquets to use. Is there a scientific reason why some racquets work better than others for specific people, or is it all mental? Please note Im not asking for advice as to which racquet to use, Ive already made up my mind. I just want to know *why* I did. I know one racquet feels better than another, but Im sure theres more to it than that.
Ive been playing tennis off and on for about 20 years now. I use a full western grip, have a long, fast swing. I use a lot of spin, not a lot of power. NTSP of a 3.0.
Im currently using an old, early 90s Wilson Pro Staff 4.3 si that I bought off of **** years and years ago. I miss-hit 80% of my shots with it.
Last night I demoed an early 2000s model Prince Hornet Triple Threat, it must have been 105 square inches or greater. Almost immediately, my pace improved. I went from probably 20% shot completion to 80%. I had much greater control and spin, though my shots were slightly less powerful. The only downside was the grip was too small for my hand, a 4 ¼. Im a 4 3/8, so my hand was tiring quickly.
I also demoed a Volkl Power Bridge V1 MP. Everything that was great about the Prince was even better on the Volkl. Every shot was easier, more control and more feedback to my arm. Placement was easier and my serves were much better. Basically, wherever I wanted to put the ball, it went there with the Volkl. I was very confident with this racquet. I couldnt miss with it. And, it had my grip size: 4 3/8, so it was less fatiguing.
The Volkl was the best racquet Ive ever used, and I dont know why? Ive always been a Wilson guy, never even heard of the Volkl before. Why would the Prince and Volkl be so much easier for me to use than my old Pro Staff? Is there science in the numbers (stats for each racquet) that can explain why I cant hit with the Pro Staff, but am a force to be reckoned with on the Volkl or Prince? My hitting partner said it was like night and day with me.
I can think of four things, perhaps they matter?
Stiffness: my old racquet is a SI of 4.3, I assume thats around a 45? I imagine a lot of my power is being absorbed by the racquet? The other two racquets have indexes of around 65 to 68.
Weight: my old racquet is heavier than these two. Does 2 ounces really matter? Perhaps for my fast, loopy swing, a lighter racquet is better for me?
Head size: I admit my hand-eye coordination is poor, bigger head size = more forgiving. 90 square inches means you have to have to be more precise, right? Perhaps I need to work on that more.
Technology: my old pro staff is, well, old. I think it may even be an amateur level, not much technology behind it. But the new Volkl has a lot of stuff going on under the hood, so to speak: vibration dampening, geometry, and overall more comfortable. Perhaps more expensive racquets are just better than less expensive racquets?
Perhaps I need to end my love affair with Pro Staff racquets. Just because Sampras was my hero, doesnt mean his weapon of choice is the best for me.
Anyway, thats my story. Thanks a lot

I am not sure how much of a difference "technology" makes. Very minimal would be my guess.
Racquet head size is another amateur myth. I shank the same % with a 100 sq in babolat and a 85 sq in wilson. That just shows my proficiency.
Pro staff 95S.

"Tech" has very little to do with it. Most of tech that is effective in creating better feel, better hitting is the same old concepts of balance, swingweight, weight, length of strings, size of the racquet face, etc. Another factor is, how old were the strings on your Pro Staff.
The TT Hornet was one sweet racquet. Didn't get enough recognition but it had a very large sweetspot and hit very comfortably. Wilsons, everyone I've hit with, tend the have a sweet and hot sweetspot but when you hit outside of it, they tend to be jarring.
Racquet head size however, is not a myth. It helps a lot. For those saying it doesn't matter, try returning 110mph serves with a 75 sq inch wood racquet. Sure, you may shank just as much with a larger racquet but with a larger racquet, even if you are not hitting the sweetspot perfectly, it still feels fine and the ball leaves your racquet with decent depth and pace. It's not like one either hits the ball perfectly or shanks it. Larger racquets allow each hit to have a bit more pace and depth.

In my opinion, it depends on what you're calling technology. When graphite racquets first appeared, they were built with respect to weight and balance to be exactly like their wooden counterparts. As time has progressed, manufacturers have tweaked the weight and balance to be more to the user's advantage.
Improvements in graphite technology have allowed manufacturers to build lighter/stronger/longer lasting frames. This has also allowed them to tailor the weight, balance, stiffness, and response of the frames. What we see now then is really akin to a "generally" customized frame for the masses. In other words, Wilson, Prince, Babolat, et al now make racquets for the masses that aren't one flex or one weight or one balance. While not a tweaking akin to what P1 does, it does allow for players to select a racquet closer to their needs.
I think what you've seen is how the progression of racquet manufacture has allowed the racquet to help you more.
I'm all for it.

If you were lucky enough to find a stick that you absolutely love, dont overthink it too much. And im not surprised you loved the Volkl. The most common thing you will hear from people about Volkl's is how great they feel. Thay dont have much reperesentation at the high pro level, but they are very well known and widely used at all other levels. I know many club pros who play volkl, and swear by them.
On the other hand, i also think that coming from an old pro staff, most other rackets are going to feel better and perform better for you. The pro staff is what i would call a precision instrument that rewards the player with the skills to use it, but also punishes those who don't.
And dont get too caught up on the tech stuff(youtek, ig, nanotubes, pwerbridge, basalt, flexpoint, etc.....). Most of that is marketing bs, in my opinion. Rackets are all made out of the same thing, and have been for over 20 years now: Graphite. Look at head size, wieght, stiffness, swingweight.
Lastly, dont forget the strings, as "TheRed" mentioned above. Very important, and so often overlooked when evaluating rackets. The type, tension, and age of strings on a racket is as important(if not more!) than any other factor. Its amazing how many people will obsess over a 5g difference in wieght between 2 rackets, yet have no idea what type or tension of strings they have.
But like i said at the beginning, if it feels great and you play great with it, don't ruin things by thinking too much.

The volkl v1 is a good racket. Just play with it if you like it.

Those Triple Threat sticks were sweet. By moving some extra weight to the top and the bottom of the racket, they got some extra mass right behind the ball while keeping the balance low for maneuverability. That was what worked; Prince's marketing copy about it ("Copper AND titanium ... and they're BRAIDED! Now with tungsten... which they use in missiles, you know") was just smoke and mirrors. Similarly, Volkl makes nicely balanced frames with good weight distribution that shed vibration nicely, with handles that damp vibration just right. They have to talk about a lot of other stuff to compete in the racket market, but that doesn't mean that stuff matters.
In my youth I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around.

Your old prostaff is extremely stiff I have one also, 72 or so. I suggest restringing it with a soft multi and than see what you think. Still a sweet stick imo, plays a lot like the 2012 sixone (rackets have not changed much at all over time!)

I was sponsored by Wilson, so feel an affinity towards them.
I can't play worth a darn with modern Wilson rackets, starting with the black 6.0 ProStaffs with the little yellow and orange stripes.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Jean Deupree, PhD (University of Nebraska Medical Center)
Description: This book is a description of the different types of metabolic drug interactions which can occur and a discussion of how the different classes of drugs produce drug-drug interactions by either inducing or inhibiting metabolizing enzymes.
Purpose: The purpose is to organize and synthesize the literature on metabolic drug interactions and to present it for use by clinicians and scientists. Our knowledge of drug metabolism and the ability to predict and measure drug-drug interactions has been greatly enhanced over the last ten years. A book in which this knowledge is pulled together in a form that can be used by clinicians and scientists is greatly needed.
Audience: This book is written for clinicians and scientists. Pharmacists, scientists, and individuals in the pharmaceutical or drug-regulatory agencies will benefit the most from the details in the book. As the editors point out, it is extremely important to take into consideration the types of drug-drug interactions that can occur when prescribing drugs. Practitioners in most specialties and pharmacists would benefit from having this book in their reference library, however, the information may be more detailed than some practitioners desire. The information presented by world-wide experts is current but may be quickly outdated as new drugs are introduced into the market and our knowledge of drug metabolism increases.
Features: A description of the types of drug-drug interactions which can occur and the pharmacokinetic factors which effect these drug-drug interactions serves as the introduction. This is followed by descriptions of the different types of metabolizing enzymes. The book is then divided into two sections according to therapeutic class of drug. One section is on drugs as substrates for metabolizing enzymes and the other is drugs as inhibitors of metabolizing enzymes. Organizing the drugs according to classes makes it helpful for pharmacists or clinicians to look for a drug which is least likely to produce a drug interaction in a particular patient. This division ultimately proves confusing and there appears to be overlap. Still, there is an excellent cross referencing section at the end which makes it easy to find specific drug-drug interactions.
Assessment: The editors have presented an excellent compendium on what is currently known about metabolic drug interactions. This book is particularly helpful in assessing the significance of drug-metabolism, the types of drug-drug interactions that can occur, and the pharmacokinetic factors that can affect drug interactions.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Tag swapping made simple
posted 5 years ago
The EZ Tag Swap by Gwen Gear San Francisco is the paw-fect little accessory for the dog with multiple collars. The simple silver ring easily and securely clips on to a collar's D-ring and holds several ID tags and/or charms. When it's time to switch collars, voilá, simply unclip the EZ Tag and attach it to the new collar--much faster, easier, and less frustrating than removing and reattaching each individual tag and charm. Comes with your choice of charm: Skull, Love, Peace, Paw or Bone.

FOLLOWING huge discoveries of on-shore and off-shore natural gas reserves in Mtwara and Lindi, the Vocational Education and Training Authority (VETA) has embarked on major reforms on its curriculum to enable its students to acquire adequate knowledge on the sector.
In view of this, the authority desired intent is to ensure that the country has adequate competent personnel who will sufficiently exploit the resources instead of depending on foreign experts.
Speaking to the 'Daily News' at the ongoing Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair (DITF), the Authority's Learning and Evaluation Specialist, Ms Joyce Mwinuka said that they want to ensure that Tanzanians grab employment opportunities in the area. "We need to make them competent in this area so that we could not look foreign experts.
In this case we have started reviewing and improving our curricula to incorporate all these," she noted. Industry sources say that within the next two years, natural gas reserves might rise from 46 million trillion cubic feet (tcf) to 200 million tcf.
Tanzania has already started counting benefits of the gas economy, which will soon be magnified after completion of the 538-km natural gas pipeline from Mtwara to Dar es Salaam now under construction.
She said that the authority has also prepared handouts in a bid to help VETA students and graduates apply what they acquired in their studies instead of remaining vagrants in the streets.
Ms Mwinuka noted that the move was fuelled by fact that there were some of their graduates who were ending up performing activities which were contrary to what they pursued.
She also said that in order to ensure that VETA admits more students to pursue number of courses the authority has built centres in almost every region in the country.

Initially, my laptop has only one HDD with mainly three partitions which contains Ubuntu, Windows and Data (excluding the swap, boot, recovery partitions). I used GPT as my partition scheme. Now, I added SSD to my laptop. I now have two HDD technically. I installed Ubuntu in SSD and deleted the Ubuntu in HDD.
My Ubuntu cannot read my Windows. So what I did was installed yannubuntu's boot-repair and ran recommended repair. The result was I had two Windows option in the GRUB. When I boot in my Ubuntu, I had to suspend and wake the operating system up in order to regain wireless connection. I assume that this has to do with having two EFI boot partitions both in my SSD and HDD.
SSD Contents
HDD Contents
Also, grub was installed in HDD. I was thinking of removing the grub in HDD and installing grub in SSD should solve the problem??
Currently, I don't know what the boot-repair did, whether it installed grub in both ssd or hdd. Or just fixed the grub in hdd. I do not know.
But this might give you a hint..
I ran advanced boot options and tried installing grub to sda and unchecked installing grub to both SSD and HDD. And an error message has appeared.
