If I want to play Dragon Quest VII I'll just play my PSX copy of Dragon "Warrior" VII on my PS3 which ironically I've been doing for the past few days anyway. I'm fine with the original localization and really could care less for the 3DS remake, Square Enix can keep it.

Seeing this on the E-Shop today totally blew me away. I have always been aware of the rom floating around on the internet titled Earthbound Zero of the unreleased translated prototype but never could get my head around playing it that way but this.... as a virtual console title on my Wii U I am definitely going to play it now. Playing on the console proper is the way to go. I am a huge fan of the game of the Mother game we know as Earthbound and have always been intreged by the titles we never got. This is so freaking cool!
Me, my daughter, and wife are having a lot of fun with this game. Best original Nintendo IP in a long time! I'm actually very happy with every aspect of this game. A very appealing and fun but severely under hyped single player story mode (which is my favorite thing about the game as a matter of fact), a well executed online multiplayer mode (which actually did a very good job at getting me back into playing online, something I haven't done and hasn't been fun for me in ages), and the 1 on 1 dojo battles, we (my family) have a blast with this mode. Can't wait for the extra content to roll out over the next few months but I'm still pretty satisfied with what we got day 1!
@Mommar Actually the majority of Castlevania titles have been on consoles and yes while mainly on Nintendo hardware my point is that the series was pretty well known and popular even before the hand held push of SOTN gameplay clones. Not bagging those games I'm a huge follower of the series as a whole even the Igavanias I'm just trying to point out that consoles are the perfect home for this game considering that's how Castlevania itself started out. People might argue this but in my opinion throwing Castlevania on handhelds to a clique cult fanbase is what outcasted it from the public eye and is solely responsible for the series slow agonizing death (back then by the way I'm pretty aware that it's a much more preferable way to game these days, still doesn't mean that this game is more at home on hand helds) I'm not even going to blame the Mercury Steam trilogy like most people would. Sadly Castlevania was already on it's way out or even actually out the door by the time those games were made.
I still haven't had the chance to play the first one, I need to get on that.
@justlink Nothing, this game has the potential to make us feel just like we did playing Earthbound/Mother or any of the other games in the series. By looking through the site you can tell they are being very careful with it and care about what they are doing. I can't wait to play this when it comes out. Plus the original creator is apparently okay with this project and has no ill will toward it.
I have anticipated this "fan" game for a while and so has my wife. There is a large community of Earthbound/Mother fans that also support this project and want to see it released. Like I said above Itoi himself is pretty aware of this game being made and sort of gave his okay on it. So for me to see this type of negativity outside of the community is staggering. My excitement starts to become fear knowing that Nintendo will shut it down due to the unnecessary hate generated by their consumers left from comments on slightly high profile fan news sites such as this one. I don't see the harm in a free fan game that actually took the time to create their own original content, it's not a complete rip off if one at all. The hate towards it baffles me...
I've been following the development of this game for years which anyone can do on it's website. They are pretty clear that this is a fan made project and the assets like the sprites,tilesets, and music are made from scratch. Yes I can see similarities in the official games as this one but certain things have to be so that it retains the feel of the games made in the past. After all it is a love letter to the series. There is a huge team behind this game and Itoi himself is actually aware of its development and basically game it an okay.
Wow, I finally got a chance to see the trailer and I have to say it looks very awesome! I want to play RoM very badly now...
@Retrogamer88 From what news I've heard of this game it is built around multiplayer because it is an MMO. Although I haven't had the chance to watch this release trailer yet to confirm it for myself so that news from a day or so ago might be out dated and inaccurate.
I've been playing the Mana games since Final Fantasy Adventure for gameboy. Favorite action adventure RPG series ever, I WANT this!!
The DKC games were extremely fun (more notably the first one) and to a degree pretty nice to look at but even for their time you could feel the limitations set upon them by the hardware. I still loved my SNES and those games either way.
@kyuubikid213 Castlevania LOS:Mirror of fate is an HD remastered downloadable on XBLA also which I will be getting soon. Although I'd rather have the option to buy it through Wii U eShop and kind of keep it at home with Nintendo instead.
@Koffeeking0407 going the way of iOS and android doesn't necissarily mean the quality of the "apps" will go down. Nintendo is still Nintendo.
A dedicated console for the gamers, a smaller downgraded handheld version of said console for gamers on the go, small low efficiency learning tablets with apps directed toward children or who ever wants to be taught something, and "nonwearable" devices that cater to Nintendo's new "QoL" way of thought all running on a universal Nintendo O.S. and unified Nintendo I.D. account system. I can see it working out rather well.
I'm not a huge follower of Apple these days. The only device of their's that I own right now is an iphone 4 but hearing that Nintendo wants to adopt their way of doing things is something I can actually get behind.
I am very interested in a lot of these games especially Giana Sisters. I owned the original game on my Commodore 64 back in the early 90s and loved it.
I imagine them utiIizing smart devices by maybe putting minigames for download in app stores that will only get people to want to play full on Nintendo games on Nintendo's devices. For example a small downloadable game app based solely on the Captain Toad levels from SM3DW. Not necessarily those same levels but a whole new game with the same concept. Then an app that let's you access a unified account based eshop and browse Nintendo related news is a great idea also.
I've got Friday off so I'll be there! This will be my first time really taking advantage of MK7's online community features.
Is there a huge difference between both versions of Scribblenauts Unlimited that would justify rebuying the game for Wii U? We already have a copy that's been floating around the household from person to person for the 3DS.
You're not really missing out on anything. It's not that great of a service anyway. I find myself not ever using it. Nintendo TVii is a really bad concept that needs to be worked on further if it ever wants to be remotely useful.
Never really played the 16 bit Road Rash games much or at all but I did own the Road Rash released on the Panasonic 3DO and RR64. I really enjoyed those games very much and always wanted new titles in the series but if a successor is all we're going to get I hope they can pull it off.
My wife and I bought this game for our daughter because she loves Monster High and seems to be really enjoying it so I don't think of it as a wasted investment.
Albert Odyssey was a great RPG for the Saturn as well. Actually all of the RPGs that were translated and brought over to the U.S. were awesome I miss that system.
@unrandomsam There is a remake of Nights into Dreams for the Wii. It was retitled Knights: Journey into Dreams. I used to own it and it was pretty fun.
Does anyone remember Beyond the Beyond? I thought that was a fun RPG during the early years of the Playstation. Yes it wasn't one of Camelot's greatest moments but I would love to see that world revisited. I am a big fan of their efforts with the Shining series though and would think a remake on 3DS would be awesome.
@LunaticPandora Recently?! NoA has always been that way even since the era of the NES.
I wouldn't mind some type of online functionality simular to that of MH3U. Would be a pretty interesting experience.
Being a long time fan of the Xeno series this is one of the games I am most anticipating coming from the Wii U. I really hope Nintendo steps up and puts a heavy amount of marketing for this title (outside of Japan) to show that they have faith in it because I certainly do!
@LetsGoRetro Both are fun games. The sequel improves on some aspects that were clunky about the first. Still the former is a better experience to me simply for it being the first in the series and having that sense of newness. My wife considers both to be her favorite PS2 games of that generation. Although it will never live up to Soul Blazer or instill that same sense of nostalgia even considering Dark Cloud is a much more immersive and polished game and can be considered retro itself these days.
@LetsGoRetro Yes it was very much like Soul Blazer with randomly generated dungeons.
So previous purchases from the eShop using my 3ds before applying the update to link my NNID to the system will still be there and linked to the system?
This was one of few games that actually put the Sega Genesis under my radar as a child!
Love this game! Me, my wife, and even our four year old daughter have been playing it nonstop! I don't see the SMB series as a kiddy game either I think it appeals to a large demographic. If a person claims to be any kind of true hardcore gamer at all they should hold true respect for these games. Playing mature games that rely on blood, head shots, and harsh language is pretty much the norm now (which I dabble in myself from time to time) and could be considered more casual than even Mario is.
Being a huge fan of the series it pains me to see other fans mostly always just talk about the GBA/DS games as if they were the only titles that existed.

Quant hotel in a perfect location; and the attendant was pleasant and provided a continental breakfast to our room each day. But the room and the hallways of the hotel were generally quite dirty. Could use some vacuuming and general maintenance. While this is a nice neighborhood, the security in the hotel didn't meet our standards. The latch on our room door did not lock. The actual latch fell out from the door jam and looked like it should have been easy to repair. We asked the attendant to fix it, but he was not able to during the four days we were there. Also, the door to the outside of the hotel did lock if people pulled the door shut, but many times when we came back from going out, we could push the outside door to the hotel open without using a key. While we had nothing stolen, we couldn't help but be concerned each time we returned to our room. For the price we paid for our stay, we expected much better.

If I hadn't already paid in full I would've left after the first 5 mins. I should have known something wasn't right when Gracie Inn charged my card 5 days before arrival. I called to ask why they hadn't waited till I checked in and the lady on the phone said they needed the money in full now. Upon check-in, the clerk gave me a piece of paper that said our room was 410, however my email communication from Gracie Inn said we were staying in room 306. He explained I needed to fill out the breakfast menu on that paper and turn it into the drop box before midnight. Unless we had changes to our breakfast options, we would receive the same breakfast every morning. We headed to room 410 and the key wouldn't fit in the door. The clerk then handed us the correct keys but it was difficult to get the doors open. Our room isn't what was described on their website. The floors were dirty like they were never vacuumed. The beds were very squeaky. They were also extremely uncomfortable. My bed's headboard was hanging on by one screw. They gave us 1 bath towel for two people. I had to ask for more towels the next morning since nobody is available after 6pm. We were promised over 100 stations along with HBO and that was false. There wasn't a clock to be found at all in this place. I had to use my phone as an alarm. We did receive breakfast the next morning and it was only OK, but we didn't receive it on the other two mornings even after waiting till 9:30am. When I inquired about where breakfast was on Sunday morning at 9am, the housekeeper said we never filled out a form indicating we wanted breakfast. That was a lie. The housekeeper was on her cell phone texting during our entire conversation. The first morning there, we took freezing cold showers due to no hot water. On the last day, the blinds in the room my sister was sleeping in were on the floor leaving the entire window facing the alley way exposed. Once again, it was after 6pm so nobody was at the desk.

Good morning, At the Gracie Inn Hotel, we take customer service very seriously so we are disappointed when we find reviews like this from any guest who had anything less than a pleasurable experience. It is true that the city was doing some routine maintenance on the plumbing system, turned off our hot water, and forgot to turn it back on. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this caused. And yes, the reception's office is only open during the day but guests have their own key and can come and go as they please. It is also our policy to charge the remainder of the reservation one week before arrival, but as long as you book a refundable reservation, the deposit is refundable up until 3 days before your arrival and the rest of the payment is refundable up until the day of your arrival. In regards to the general condition and cleanliness of the room, we are very sorry that you experienced that and have already taken measures to ensure that this will not happen again in the future. We hope that the next time you are in the big apple, you will consider giving us a second chance to show you how much we appreciate your business. If so, please reach out to us directly beforehand and we will be happy to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. Best, The Gracie Inn Staff

I stayed here in 2004 and the place was like a west bank Paris hotel. Beautiful, private and reasonable. Now it looks like it wasn't cleaned since then. The sheets had holes in them, the glass in the bathroom was full of old toothpaste the shower had mold. The air conditioner was plugged into an extension cord that was strung over the stove and plugged into a wall outlet. There was no one in the hotel when I arrived and no one there when I left at 9:30 the next morning. One of the worst!

Mi estancia en Gracie Inn fue muy desagradable. Las fotos que ponen en la pagina del hotel no se ajustan a la realidad. Yo nunca había estado en un lugar tan sucio, repito sucio, muy sucio y descuidado. Sinceramente no entiendo como no les da vergüenza tener en estas condiciones el hotel. Lamentable. En la pagina web se ofrece un servicio de habitaciones que no es real, engañoso , para denunciar. No recomiendo alojarse en este lugar HORRIBLE.

My wife and I were excited about staying at this Inn based on the website photos and video. What a mistake! We arrived exhausted after a 12 hour drive, just to find that everything in our room was filthy and disgusting. When we checked the beds, the sheets were full of dirt and hair! The pillow cases were turned inside-out. No one was available on-site, so we called the number on the front door and left a message describing out extreme dissatisfaction. No one returned our call. Needless to say, we left and had to find another place to stay. I have disputed the charges with my credit card company and will sue the Inn if my money is not refunded. They should pay us for our emotional distress. Jay. Krall, Raleigh, NC

The inn is cute, in a residential neighborhood. The breakfast was served very nicely right to our door. The room had a dining area, couch, tv, small efficiency kitchen. It was clean and well lit. The service was very pleasant and friendly. It is only a fifteen minute walk from the Met Museum and plenty of shopping and dining. I was a little worried when I saw the review from mr negative. I have no idea where he stayed it couldn't have been at the gracie inn. I would recommend it. Regarding bedandbreakfast.com, the process to use the gift cards was completely pleasant and painless.

As a former New Yorker, and who lived in "the City" for over 40 years I sadly have to report that this hotel as disgusting! Any review you see that is fates this hotel more than a one star hotel is either and friend, employee, or is someone who is used to sleeping in a tent. After retiring and living in California for 5 years I decided to go back and visit my brother, who lives a block away from this flea trap. When my wife searched for a reasonable hotel for me on the web she found this place, and called up to make a reservation. When she told me the address I was shocked that I never heard of this Hotel. Since I know the area very well, my brother lives one block away; I looked them up on the web and saw nice pictures, etc. of the rooms and assorted accommodations there. I called to double check my sanity and while talking to them I checked them out their address on Google Street view and just saw a very old tenement building, the type of building that have been torn down over 40 years ago. I asked the reservation guy to confirm that I was looking at the right building and he confirmed it, but told me that it was totally redone on the inside and that the pictures were actuate. When I got there, one has to use a complicated 12 step procedure to get in, and opened the main door, I could see that this place was a major candidate for urban renewal. The pictures you see on the web are not of this hotel. The elevator can handle a total of 2 people with luggage, at best. The door to the room is so old that the spaces for the original locks are still there. The minute I opened the door I was horrified of what I saw, and it was apparent that, for even a blind person, that this room was still in its original 1920s state with the exception of a bed. The room had a very small dirty a/c, etc. The flat panel TV that is really a 19in commuter monitor hooked up to 2 remotes that an engineer could figure out how to use. Since it was very late and I had prepaid 3 days, and, once again, there was NO FRONT desk personnel and I could not check out and get a full refund. I went out and got a bottle of wine, drank most of it and went to sleep. The next day, I spoke to the manager (who also cleans the rooms) that I wanted to checkout and get a refund for the two days I had prepaid. We also had a conversation regarding the deceptive pictures of the hotel on the web, and he of course agreed that they used random pictures but they were not of the actual hotel. I got out as fast as I could.... and for a few dollars more stayed at a Marriot Courtyard.

Funny story. Maybe that bottle of wine he mentioned in his review went to his head. (note: he did mention his sanity in the review, as well) We are not going to waste your time with a story and we promise not to make value judgments on what should be torn down… as we love NY history and NY architecture that is why we live and work here. We do not make value judgments on who cleans rooms. We are a team and every position on our team is important. We don't accuse "other guest" of "sleeping in tents" that would make us sound pious. We don't make acquisitions of who wrote previous reviews without any evidence as that would make us look less creditable. We never admitted to his claim of "random" pictures because that conversation never took place. What we will say that we are honest, work hard and do not misrepresent ourselves. The guest never complained while here on property and stayed he did stay all three days. Any he never approached the third party be booked with either. This is not a prison. It is a hotel. So why the rant on-line? Our questions are… Why was he using the AC in late November when it was below freezing? Our elevator holds 4 persons or 1000 lbs per the inspection sticker from NY Dept of Bldgs. Is he claiming to trump this dept.? The Dept of Bldgs, AAA, NY Hotel Assoc. and Expedia inspected our locks and they passed. What does he know that they don't? What is a commuter monitor? What type of engineer? Funny they did not mention an engineer was needed when we bought the TV from Best Buy.

I stayed at the Gracie Inn Hotel recently this weekend. The overall experience was great within the hotel. However, it was a little rough getting to the hotel because of transportation. We took metro and bus. After we made it and we got into the rooms it was all worth it. I wasn't disappointed at all! The smell of the room very refreshing, crisp sheets, clean room, and great views. It was absolutely the best experience in NYC that I've encountered. The neighborhood is quiet and it was truly a great weekend! I'm definitely making this hotel my #1 and will be back again in October.

Nation Topics - Reimagining Capitalism
News and Features
No—the Greek negotiators had to swallow some bitter pills, but they extracted crucial concessions from the troika.
Greece's new finance minister has studied a huge, functioning economy in incredible detail already—through an online multiplayer videogame.
With an eye on the United States and Greece, scholars at the Levy Economics Institute are developing plans to ensure full employment.
Not only does capitalist growth not reduce inequality; it increases it.
Even non-believers can't deny the inherent wisdom and clarity of the pontiff's critique of the modern capitalist economy.
Advocates for deep changes to our economic and political systems are turning to earlier movements for inspiration.
What does the National People's Action director have in store for Obama's second term?
A former managing director at JP Morgan wants to see a complete re-imagining of the world of investments.
The proverbial bogeymen of our world—Osama, Saddam, Gaddafi, Ahmadinejad—are clearly meant to act like so many mini-black holes absorbing all our fears. But they won't save the West from its decline, or the former sole superpower from its comeuppance.
Nation readers offer fresh and creative ideas on how to reimagine capitalism.

Want to become a radio anchor? The job profile of a radio anchor, popularly known as RJ or Radio Jockey is exciting, fun filled and prospective. The most important aspect about being a radio anchor is developing an on air personality. These professionals host several shows on radio throughout the day. The role of a radio anchor is not just the ability of constant talking, playing songs or reading out the weather; they have a lot of essential work to do.
There are certain basic skills that are required to become a successful radio anchor. One has to master the art of being a personality that doesn't have a face to recognize, only a voice. Thus, the voice is the key factor to develop the on air personality of the radio anchor. The voice of the anchor must be pleasing and clear. Spontaneity must be maintained during the show so that listeners never have a dull moment or feel the lack of visionless entertainment. The anchor should also possess sound knowledge of music so that he/she can smoothly bridge the gap between the talk and the song. Enthusiasm must be felt with the voice of the radio anchor. He/she must be able to involve the listeners through the radio and hence immaculate communication skills are very important.
Having a sense of humor is crucial for a radio anchor job. People want to get entertained, enlightened, informed and enjoyed. You can achieve this with your sense of humor and presence of mind. You have to know your audience. Your conversation, jokes and topics must be in line with the theme of the show.
There are specific timings of shows for the anchors. Some get the morning slot, some get the afternoon and some get the evening. For example, a morning show host in a radio station must be there at least an hour before the show goes on air. Suppose the show will start at 5:30 am then the radio anchor must reach the radio station by 4:30 am and prepare for the show. There cannot be any blank air during the commencement of the show. Thus, the radio anchor must possess a great presence of mind to deal with different live situations.
If you are planning to get a job as a radio anchor you need to prepare for it properly. You should possess good knowledge about current affairs and news related to politics, sports, entertainment, national and world affairs. You must be ready to work in any shift whether it is morning, day or night. Working odd hours cannot be a problem with a radio anchor. Another vital thing is that a radio anchor must be prepared to work on holidays. The common weekend off or holiday leaves are not a part of radio anchor's job. A radio anchor gets leave on any day during the week.
The job of radio anchor is glamorous and entertaining. It gives fame and recognition though your voice, which is definitely a brilliant achievement. Moreover, the salary a radio anchor can expect to make should be around $20,000 to $25,000.

VirTra Systems Inc. has acquired a patent to for a device in the company's firearms simulators that sends electronic impulses to shock the user and simulate consequences during training.
Prior to Threat Fire, simulation training lacked consequences. Trainees were able to engage simulated hostile forces. However, simulated hostile forces could not feasibly affect the trainees, which greatly reduced the realism of training, according to VirTra. Shoot-back cannons were used but had to be aimed, required eye-protection, caused injuries, required constant cleanup and had a host of other problems, according to the company.
As part of VirTra's ongoing effort to revolutionize firearms simulation training, VirTra invented an electric impulse device called the Threat Fire. The device clips to the trainee, uses a rechargeable battery pack, is wireless and can penetrate many layers of clothing. Threat Fire is adjustable and the normal setting of just 30 milliseconds of electric impulse is enough to add real-world consequences while enhancing the effectiveness of professional simulation training. The Threat Fire device is one of the company's most successful products.
The now-patented Threat Fire is fully integrated into VirTra's simulators. Threat Fire will be sold in a standalone configuration on a case-by-case basis.
"Our determination to solve a potentially life-threatening limitation in simulation training led to a revolutionary new device, the Threat Fire," said Bob Ferris, VirTra's chief executive. "This electric return fire simulator greatly enhances the realism, intensity, and seriousness of all forms of firearms simulation training."

The Chicago Blackhawks Marian Hossa took a nasty illegal hit from the Phoenix Coyotes' Raffi Torres in last year's NHL playoffs. The brutal that left him motionless on the ice. As you can see after the jump, Torres left his feet for the hit so he's likely going to face a suspension. He's a repeat offender, so he could face 10 games. Brendan Shanahan suspended Torres before he paralyzes somebody. Tonight is the first rematch of the teams since the altercation. Hossa was taken to Northwestern Memorial hospital, where tests were encouraging and he later left under his own power.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Teresa Giudice Gains Another Friend for Season 5 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Who Is She?
With filming of Season 5 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey currently in progress, Teresa Giudice is going to need all the help she can get since many (if not all) of her existing co-stars aren't speaking to her.
We've already reported that Kim D. and Jennifer Dalton — both pals of Tre's — are rumored to be joining the show in some capacity next season, and now Radar Online is reporting that Bravo has enlisted another member of Team Teresa to film some footage.
Elvira Grau, a party planner in New Jersey that Teresa has enlisted for her girls's parties, revealed that she has been filming for Season 5 and plans on sticking up for her pal if the other H'wives go after her.
"I would absolutely defend Teresa against the other woman," Elvira says. "I have zero loyalty to anyone on the show except Teresa because I simply don't know them."
It doesn't sound like Elvira is a full-fledged Housewife, but are you excited to see her featured on Season 5? We all know Tre could use the help!

Tunis — A salafist preacher is heading to prison for inciting the attack on the US Embassy in Tunis.
Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki on Wednesday (October 31st) extended the state of emergency by three months in the wake of salafist attacks on security forces.
Dozens of armed Islamists attacked two National Guard outposts in Manouba on Tuesday, injuring several officers. One salafist was killed in the clash. Security was boosted in the capital following the events, according to the interior ministry spokesperson.
The incidents in Manouba were just the latest in a string of attacks by radicals, including the September 14th assault on the US Embassy in Tunis.
A Tunis court last week sentenced a leading salafist to one year in prison for inciting the violence at the embassy. Slim Guetari, better known as Abou Ayoub, is the second in command of Tunisia's Ansar al-Sharia movement. The group's leader, Seif Allah Ben Hassine (aka Abou Iyadh), is still wanted in connection to the attack.
The Abou Ayoub trial was the first related to the September 14th attack on the US Embassy in Tunis. Four demonstrators were killed and dozens injured when salafists laid siege to the embassy.
Tunisian authorities have arrested 87 people suspected of involvement. Salafist leaders claim the number of detainees to be 800.
In a recent video posted online, Abou Iyadh accused Tunisia's democratically elected government of being a puppet of the United States. He also labelled the Ennahda-led government un-Islamic.
Abou Iyadh once fought in Afghanistan with the Taliban. He was arrested in Turkey in 2003 and extradited to Tunisia, where he was sentenced to a 68-year term on terror charges. He was later released in the wake of the Tunisian revolution.
Rached Mahjoub, President of the Tunisian Association for Citizen Police, told AFP that he noticed an increased willingness on the part of authorities to confront salafist jihadists in the wake of the embassy attack.
"The trend has changed since September 14th. Civil society and politicians are more attuned to the police," he said.
For his part, political activist Adel al-Haj Salem told Magharebia that "there should be a full and thorough investigation of the events of the US Embassy, and all those who have incited people in the mosques, the media and social networking sites should be held accountable."

Among the new devices that were launched with Lion, Apple's new Thunderbolt Display went almost unnoticed.
However, it is the product that evolved the most, as it now features in the back:
- 3 USB 2.0 ports
- 1 Firewire 800 port
- 1 Ethernet Gigabit port
- 1 Thunderbolt port to plug-in a second display.
All of that is connected to the computer with a single Thunderbolt cable, which means that the display contains a converter Thunderbolt to USB, another one to Firewire 800 and another again to Ethernet. As far as we know, they are the first converters of that kind, and this display can bring all the connection ports (except USB 3.0) that are missing from the MacBook Air!
To go even further, Apple could have made a small box that could have done only that without the display. Apple will probably do so in the future, maybe using a bigger power adapter that would also included the needed connections. Apple has a patents for that type of system.
For now, Apple seems to be wanting to give an advantage to the display so it can mark the difference from displays of other brands. Until now, it was possible to find sometimes a better display for often a lower price. It won't be the case anymore thanks to these new features.

Civil society activists protest against armed violence in Tripoli.
TRIPOLI, Lebanon: When the website Prosperous Tripoli asked 2,000 residents what they felt was lacking in their city, the No. 1 issue highlighted was concern over the ongoing lack of security. Some 693 people described the absence of stability in the restive northern city as an urgent matter that affects all citizens residing in Tripoli.
The deteriorating security situation is taking its toll on the residents of Tripoli and beginning to affect local businesses as residents of nearby villages – like Zghorta, Koura, Bsharri, Minyeh-Dinnieh and Akkar – are exercising caution before visiting commercial centers located in the city.
While a few shoppers still risk heading to Tripoli to buy products, the majority have stopped coming to the city. This is especially true on Fridays, as violent incidents in the past few months have usually occurred after prayer time has finished.
Constant rumors that circulate among the city's residents about imminent fights damage the prospects of calm being restored to Tripoli. Nervous whispers about possible violence in the immediate future were ignored in the past, and few would have believed them, but the recent incidents have caused locals to pay closer attention to rumors.
Preserving the security situation has been a constant demand of the city's residents, who see sustained calm as a necessary first step to addressing other concerns raised in the survey, such as employment and investment.
Some people consider the turbulentatmosphere as part of a greater conspiracy, while others see it as a result of the chaotic spread of arms among various factions.
Residents said that the increasing movement of armed men on motorcycles is the first sign of the collapse of any possible truce.
Political parties in the city have exchanged accusations of responsibility over Tripoli's dire situation. Future Movement officials in particular accuse the government, which is led by a prominent political figure from the city, of largely ignoring the concerns of its citizens and doing little to improve their conditions.
Political figures who are close to Prime Minister Najib Mikati have also begun to voice concern recently.
Head of the Palestinian-Lebanese dialogue committee Khaldoun al-Sharif, a close adviser to Mikati, said that it is regrettable that the prime minister and the ministers from Tripoli are not taking the political, economic, social and electoral concerns of the city seriously enough.
Civil society organizations have also expressed their concerns about the security situation and made clear their feeling that Tripoli may be close to reaching its breaking point.
Several groups have arranged sit-ins in front of various government buildings in Tripoli, mainly the Serail, to protest the ongoing violence and demand a comprehensive plan to confiscate illegal arms from the numerous factions that have been involved in deadly sectarian clashes in the city.
The absence of any tangible solution to the ongoing disorder in Tripoli has resulted in a complete failure to address any of the other economic and livelihood issues that local residents brought up in the survey.
Some 450 people pointed to the lack of employment opportunities as their main concern, 264 said local investment in the city was a worry and 163 responders called for a complete overhaul of everything listed in the questionnaire.
Other concerns mentioned were job opportunities specifically geared toward young people and a greater emphasis on promoting local tourism.
Many of the anxieties expressed in the survey are linked to the violent clashes that have occurred recently, which have tainted the city's image and kept visitors at bay.

Meet Benedict Cumberbatch's doppelgänger: British teen's selfies go viral in ChinaAdd to Favorites | Sherlock
Benedict Cumberbatch has one of the most unique faces in show business, so it's hard to believe that he of all people has a doppelgänger. But it turns out, he's got a look-alike out there in the world who's starting to get a taste of what Cumberbatch goes through on a daily basis.
Meet British teenager Tyler Michell, who looks exactly like the "Sherlock" star. This 16-year-old gained notoriety by posting selfies on Instagram with hashtags like #benedict, #cumberbatch, #sherlock, etc. but got more than he bargained for when Chinese followers helped his photos go viral.
Michell started receiving thousands of comments in Chinese on his photos, and it got to the point where he posted a note on Instagram begging his followers to stop commenting. "Chinese followers. Stop commenting on all my stuff," Michell writes.
Now Michell has more in common with Cumberbatch than just his face ... he's got the unwanted fame, too.

Mini-SUV's to be launched in India
|Little did anyone think that Premier would come out with a bang with its latest Mini-SUV Rio. Least did any of the major car makers expect that the roulette wheels would be set in motion by the Premier. Of course, after the successful launch of the Rio, the Mini-SUV is expected to gain infinitesimal response from the Indian contingent. However, the big players are getting a little antsy over the out of the blue recurrence of the face of the Premier in, well almost, the mainstream after a couple of decades.
The launch of a Mini-SUV was not something that bothered the majors. But the fact remains that they were bothered because the tide of small car buyers may shift vastly towards the Mini-SUVs. Premier's Rio will definitely ruffle the feathers of the mainstream small car makers. Hence the others are also in the process of launching one of their own Mini-SUVs at almost the same price as that of the Premier Rio.

[...] one of four favorite automobile blogs Vicky too talked about the upcoming small SUV from Mahindra. Intrigued, we went about trying to find out [...]
In the Picture: Technical diagram of an unknown SUV. Our spy photographers are yet to spot the Mahindra's unnamed mini suv
SEE THIS A SKECTH OF WELL KNOW WORLD FAMOUS – LINCOLN NAVIGATOR SUV, AND ITS NOT a MINI SUV
Ford should relaunch its Fusion with Diesel engine and must-to-have ABS and Air bags at reasonably reduced B segment price. Then, certainly it will be a success. Customers' feedback should be taken into account immediately rather than delaying the action and letting the vehicle become extinct, unnecessarily. Ford was really lethargic as far as Fusion was concerned to act on customers' feedback. Even now, it is not too late. Will Ford wake-up?
That "technical diagram of an unknown SUV" is a manipulated Lincoln Navigator…
Anyway, hope we see more mini-SUVs that come with rear wheel drive and in a more affordable price bracket.. Mahindra can do it, they have the platform and who on earth wouldn't want to see the return of the classics… CL550 or Major anyone??
mini suv should not be as mini as the definition of small car called nano,no matter if price goes upto 7lakhs, & I could not understand how a suv would be of only 4lakhs, standards of suv should be maintained
Yes A mini SUV / MPV is a urgent need. No car ( except Fusion, which is branded as failure ) is there now. Convenience of Hatch back, comfort of MPV, SUV kind of maneuver in Indian roads – we need a MINI SUV ? MPV.
To cater the middle class ( lot is available for luxury ), Less than 4m, 5 seater, 500 lts boot, 175 mm ground clearance, bucket seat comfort, 75 hp, 100 NM torque, 17 kpl minimum milage Masculine modern look, ABS / Airbag safty features from a quality company like M & M, TOyota, Maruthi, TATA, Hyundai will be nice.
My shortlists are Toyota Urban Cruiser / Avanza, Modified Gypsy / Gimmy, Mini Xylo, mini Safari etc.
Hope before end of 2010, we will have some, like a lot has come for hatch back in 2009.

Fees for home staging services vary from city to city and from staging business to staging business. Pricing your services is one part science, one part feeling.
As a businessperson, you will need to make a profit to stay in business. But you don't want to charge too much or you might not attract any customers. You want to charge something called an "equilibrium price" where you are willing to "supply" enough of your time and talent to meet the "demand" for those services at that price. Sound complicated? Well, it is and it isn't.
Homeowners and agents are used to paying a certain amount of
money (per hour or per job) for the services that they purchase regularly. Agents can buy professional photography services. They can buy a floorplan for their listings. Maybe they hire someone to sit an open house for them and pay them a certain amount per hour. Fees for home staging services should fit somewhere in the range charged by these other professionals.
This may require a bit of homework on your part to find out what these other service providers are charging. But it is research well worth your time.
If you keep your hourly rates and fees for home staging services in line with the other pros, then it will be much easier to sell your services because there won't be a push back on price. Your time and talent are in line with these other professionals, so your fees should be in line with theirs.
As we mentioned previously, fees for home staging services can vary by city. Large, urban cities usually have higher per hour rates because the cost of doing business there is higher than more rural locations (in addition to the cost of everything else.) That's why we always recommend doing some research first to see where your business area fits -- at the low end, in the middle, or at the high end -- of national hourly rates. You are not a national fast food franchise, your costs cannot be averaged across a continent so that prices remain the same from coast to coast. You have one location, one cost of doing business there.
Another way of gauging rates is to check how home prices in your area compare to the national average. If your area has lower prices than the national average, your per hour rate should also be lower than the national average.
Per hour rates also can vary by task. Some tasks are more difficult than others. For example, we charge less per hour for
decluttering than we do for staging. The cleaning services we use charge less per hour for cleaning than we charge for decluttering.
We have made our Home Staging Proposal Form available for purchase as part of our forms download package. If you take a look at the proposal form, you will see that we differentiate between types of tasks so that we can charge different amounts per job or per hour.

Conte led Juventus to the Italian Serie A championship for the first time since the club was relegated in 2006.
Rome: Italian police investigating a soccer match-fixing scandal placed Juventus trainer Antonio Conte under investigation and arrested the captain of Lazio Stefano Mauri and former Genoa midfielder Omar Milanetto, authorities said on Monday.
The Italian football federation said Mauri was one of 14 people arrested. Italian authorities swept through the Italy national team training site near Florence on Monday and made more than a dozen arrests elsewhere as part of a wide-ranging investigation into match-fixing in football.
Mauri has been accused of sporting fraud. Most of the footballers accused now play in Serie B or lower leagues, although Omar Milanetto spent five years at Genoa before joining Padova in 2011.
A police statement said five people had also been arrested in Hungary on suspicion of being part of an illegal international betting ring headed by Singaporean gambling identity Tan Seet Eng, who was arrested in December.
Police in the northern city of Cremona said they had made 19 arrests, 11 of whom are footballers or former footballers — 14 have been arrested, three have been placed under house arrest and two others are to present themselves to authorities. And they were investigating Conte, fresh from his triumph in leading Juventus to the Italian Serie A championship for the first time since the club was relegated in 2006 in an earlier match-fixing scandal.
He is being investigated on suspicion of sporting fraud and fraudulent association over allegations concerning a match between his previous club Siena and Novara in April 2011.
"Conte's reaction is that of someone who's completely innocent and strongly determined to prove his total innocence," Conte's lawyer, Antonio De Rencis, said.
Siena president Massimo Mezzaroma has also been placed under investigation.
Police are also investigating Italy and Zenit St. Petersburg defender Domenico Criscito a week before the national team leaves for the European Championship in Poland and Ukraine. Two police cars arrived at the national team's training site at around 6:25am local time (0425 GMT) and left more than two hours later. Criscito's house in Genoa was also searched.
Criscito, who did not take part in Italy's training session, has reportedly asked to be heard by the authorities as soon as possible.
It said searches were conducted at the homes of a number of players, trainers and administrators of clubs in Serie A, Serie B and the lower division Lega Pro on suspicion of involvement in match-fixing on behalf of international criminal organizations.
"It's devastating news," former Italy and current Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni said. "If the authorities are acting it's because there's something there."
Monday's operation was part of 'Last Bet', a wider investigation into match-fixing in Italian soccer which has already seen a number of arrests of current and former Italian players.
"In this part of the investigation, indications have emerged of manipulation in matches from the 2010-11 Serie A championship, including games between Lazio and Genoa and Lecce and Lazio," Raffale Grassi, director of SCO, the police service responsible for the investigation told SkyTG24 television.
In June last year, the Interior Ministry set up a special match-fixing task force in response to a number of high-profile cases.
Former Atalanta captain and Italy midfielder Cristiano Doni was banned for three-and-a-half years in August for his part in the 'Calcioscommesse' match-fixing scandal involving Serie B matches last season.
Atalanta, promoted from Serie B, were deducted six points in the top flight this season as a result of the scandal.
Former Lazio and Italy striker Giuseppe Signori was banned for five years and 15 other players were banned for between one and five years for their part in the same scandal.
Serie A clubs Atalanta, Novara and Siena were among the 22 Italian teams notified at the beginning of this month that they are being investigated by sports authorities.
Prosecutors in Cremona have detailed an extensive match-fixing ring stretching as far as Singapore and South America that was allegedly in operation for more than 10 years. More than 50 people have now been arrested in Italy in the past year as part of the probe started by judicial authorities in Cremona.

Park Goes Pesticide-Free
The Paderewski Park Resolution cites the precautionary principle as the basis for its decision to go pesticide-free. The precautionary principle is the idea that if the consequences of an action are unknown, but are judged to have some potential for major or irreversible negative consequences, then it is better to avoid that action. The resolution also cites the impacts of pesticide and fertizer run-off as reasons to ban lawn chemical use.
According to the New Britain Herald, the project will serve as a pilot program for the organic turf program, to see how it works and how it can be implemented on other properties. Council Member Kirby Deegan, who brought the resolution before the town council, said Paderewski Park was a good place to start the project because it's more of a family park with a pond for fishing, a playground and ballfields. "Eliminating pesticides is definitely good for the environment and good for residents," Mr. Deegan told the New Britain Herald. We all have environmental concerns in some way or another. The more I'm hearing about, the more involved I'm getting."
This is not the first example of Plainville residents taking a stand on unnecessary pesticide use in their community. In July of 2005 the Plainville Town Council adopted a resolution in support of a voluntary non-use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers on lawn and gardens by the citizens of Plainville. Since then 46 homeowners have joined the Freedom Lawn Initiative committing over 15 private acres as pesticide-free zones.
According to the New Britain Herald, the initiative, led by Mr. Rupaka, is based on evidence from sources, including the Center for Disease Control, that lawn-care pesticide use is linked to an increased risk of certain cancers and birth defects in humans and deformities or death in animals.
In 2003, Wichita, KS went pesticide-free in 10 of the city's 105 parks. It was following the lead of Lawrence, KS, where three parks, totaling 12 acres, were designated as pesticide-free the previous spring. Seattle, WA designated six parks as pesticide-free in 2001.
TAKE ACTION: Work with your community to help your parks go pesticide-free. Join the National Coalition for Pesticide-Free Lawns or visit www.beyondpesticides.org/lawn.htm.

Demba Ba to Chelsea - 2013
Chelsea signed Ba in January 2013 after Daniel Sturridge's departure to Liverpool.
The west London side must be regretting the decision now as Sturridge has gone from strength to strength at Liverpool, while Ba has failed to make the grade at Chelsea.
Ba is likely to be sold in January as he has scored just two Premier League goals in 16 league games.

Importance of Regional Alternative Energy Resources
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
There is talk all around regarding going for alternative energy sources. This is all good, but if these are not adopted properly, it could defeat the whole purpose and we could lose some great options to generate green energy from renewable sources. The most important point to focus on is to ensure that regional energy resources can support the energy production there.
Sun shines brightly and more or less constantly along the equator and the areas around it. Typically the days and nights here are equally distributed and they do not change much. Installing solar panels as a permanent source of energy here is a great solution.
On the other hand though, think about the European and North American countries that are close to the poles. Here between summer and winter the length of the day can be quite different. The average day can be as much as 4-6 hours shorter in winter. Here solar energy cannot be used reliably throughout the year.
Another alternative energy source that relies on local resources is the wind energy. Here again the best place to install wind mills are flat plains with lots of open spaces and relatively close to the oceans. This is one place geographically where you can get plenty of windy gusts. This is the perfect place to tap into this source. Having it in the middle of mountain valleys where there is hardly any wind would really be investments going down the drain.
Similarly, we also have other sources like tidal energy and geo thermal energy which work only in places where these resources are available. Besides these even the newer concepts like biogas plants would only work in places where there is constant supply of biomass. Without enough raw material you cannot produce enough energy to run the station sustainably.
Thus the regional alternative energy resources play an important role in determining which alternative source of energy would work best in that area.

and dinner and tomorrow's breakfast, too.
I took a quick trip to Starbucks earlier this afternoon. I was thirsty for something sweet and refreshing, but not necessarily caffeinated.
Lately, I've been loving the Strawberries and Crème Frappuccino - strawberries remind me of summer, and with the warm weather of late, they've just seemed like the perfect snack. Plus, they're good for you. So I ordered an ice cold, blended-full-of-goodness, strawberry refreshment. The barista talked me into adding blackberry syrup. It tastes amazing.

to Mississippi . . .
In a few short days I'll be back in my home state again - only the second time I've been back since the hurricane and the first time I've been to my hometown since the storm hit. Word has it that things are slowly getting back to normal, or as normal as they can be with an additional 16,000 storm refugees living in town.
My dad always said "home is where you live, not where you're from". Savannah is my home, Mississippi is where I'm from. But even though I love Savannah (I really, really do), there are things about my other southern home that I just miss. Family and friends, of course, but places and views as well.

We've been working on a redesign of savannahnow for over a year. Our planning started in January 2005 with a whiteboard and a dry erase marker. Morris Digital Works partnered with us, and many months later, our new site was born.
We are all really proud of the new site - troubles and all. It's a site that took months to conceive, even longer to design and build. And we really believe that it can offer more for our readers than we've ever been able to provide before.
Our old website was very much a 'newspaper website'. It was updated once or twice daily with content from the Savannah Morning News and national and world headlines from the Associated Press. We had some photos, but they weren't very big. We had a few places where you, our readers could email us, or submit a question, but no place for you to speak your mind - no place for you to publish your ideas and opinions. All in all, the site was a place for us to tell you what was important in the world of news and information.

One of the coolest parts of my job is that I get to watch video at work. We've been working on integrating this into the site for awhile, and I'm glad to tell you it's finally here.
To see the latest headlines, scroll down on any of our Know, Share, Shop and Do pages. On the lower right side of the page, you'll see a scrolling list of videos to choose from. These pop up in a new window, and once that window is open, you can choose to watch additional videos, right from the player page.
We are currently featuring four different categories: the latest breaking headlines, entertainment, off-beat stories (this is the hotdog video I mentioned above) and business news. We'll still feature video at the top of the page, but now we give you more choices at the bottom.

GPL getting tougher on patent deals
- Related Stories
New GPL draft due WednesdayMarch 26, 2007
Microsoft makes Linux pact with NovellNovember 2, 2006
Public debate on GPL 3 draft beginsJanuary 16, 2006
The Free Software Foundation posted draft 3 of GPL 3 on its Web site, as expected, Wednesday.
Modifications were made since the second draft, which came out in July 2006, to address a patent deal between Microsoft and Linux seller Novell, under which Microsoft agreed not to sue Suse Linux customers for patent infringement.
"The recent patent agreement between Microsoft and Novell aims to undermine (software users') freedoms. In (the third) draft, we have worked hard to prevent such deals from making a mockery of free software," Richard Stallman, president of the FSF and principal author of the GPL, said in a statement Wednesday.
Novell and Microsoft on Wednesday said that the added patent provisions of the third GPL 3 draft will not derail their partnership.
"It is unfortunate...that the FSF is attempting to use the GPL 3 to prevent future collaboration among industry leaders to benefit customers," Horacio Gutierrez, Microsoft's vice president of intellectual property and licensing, said in a statement.
Novell said it will continue to participate in open-source software projects and remains committed to its partnership with Microsoft.
"If the final version of the GPL 3 does potentially impact the agreement we have with Microsoft, we'll address that with Microsoft," Novell spokesman Bruce Lowry said.
In supporting documents to the new draft, the FSF said it has not yet decided whether the patent addition will apply to all such commercial arrangements or only to those signed in the future. The latter option would let the existing Novell-Microsoft agreement stand.
The basic idea of the GPL is unchanged: Anyone may use, modify and redistribute GPL software, but a party that redistributes GPL software must publish any changes that are made.
One change in GPL 3 governs patents. An earlier draft required an organization that distributed GPL software to grant rights to its patents related to the software. But the new draft is narrower, requiring only that it grant rights to patents relating to any contributions it makes to that software.
Another change is a narrower scope for a section that had concerned digital rights management (DRM), technology that can be used to restrict users' access to software or content. The new version avoids reference to the DRM concept and requires that installation instructions be provided to permit users to install modified software. However, a company doesn't have to supply support, warranty and updates if the user modifies the software, and the instructions don't need to be supplied
Also new in the third draft are simplified terms to make GPL 3 more compatible with GPL 2, which is used for thousands of open-source software products, including the Linux kernel, Java and MySQL.
Previous drafts of GPL 3 have drawn mixed reviews, including major reservations from Linux founder Linus Torvalds and a majority of the Linux kernel developers.
Earlier this year, Torvalds panned GPL 3, saying the new version seeks to promote the Free Software Foundation's philosophy rather than produce a pragmatic legal foundation.
"The GPL was designed to ensure that all users of a program receive the four essential freedoms which define free software," Stallman said of the philosophy behind the open-source license. "These freedoms allow you to run the program as you see fit, study and adapt it for your own purposes, redistribute copies to help your neighbor and release your improvements to the public."
Version 3 has been more than a year in the making, with its first public presentation in January 2006.
The next step to completing GPL 3 is a 60-day comment period, followed by a "last call" draft. The final GPL 3 will arrive 30 days after that, according to the FSF.
The timing pushes back by about three months the original deadline of March for a new version of the license.

- GPL change means little unless governments involved
- Make your choice. Private-to-private agreements - fine. Choose GPLv.(whatever) reflecting your personal preference and business model.
But, when governments get into the act of exclusively endorsing the GPL's license, then it's a whole different story. Right now, most all governments world-wide have wide open choice to pick amongst all models - and this results in, well, a lot of options. An exclsive GPLv.3 regime would reduce those choices, and will bring about fewer workable solutions for government customers and citizens. Period.
Through liberal governmnet one can justify most anything, usurping the rights of individuals because of "higher" state interests. We know that open choice - one that allows governments to choose freely amongst all models works. That's a pretty high state interest in my book, one that would caution against some of the attempts we're seeing stateside and overseas to implement GPL-oriented/preferred procurement regimes.
Private-to-private - choose the GPL v. etc., BSD, proprietary EULA. Whatever fits with your busines plan. But for governments - keep those options open.

- [i]"But, when governments get into the act of exclusively

So what if they endorse the GPL? They buy software with
taxpayer money - whay shouldn't their citizens have free and
open access to the source code of software that the government
bought and paid for with citizen's tax money?
This has nothing to do with "liberal" vs. "conservative ideology -
it has to do with openness and transparency in government.
...so put down your bullhorn; we already know that your
benefactors at MSFT hate the idea.

Nigeria national team coach, Stephen Keshi has admitted that he is facing a dilemma in selecting his provisional list of players for the Nations Cup. Already, 22 home based players are in the Abuja camp preparing for the championship, while the list of 17 foreign based professionals that will join the team camp in Faro, Portugal is expected to be made public next week.
Answering questions from newsmen yesterday in Abuja at the weekly media parley, he said the prolific form of several Nigerian players playing in abroad is already giving him concern over who to invite or not. He said the players in camp are already working hard to meet his demand. "Maybe by next week the list will be out. I am happy that our players are doing well in their clubs and already giving me a lot of concern over who to include in the list or not," he stated.
He said only those who are committed, fit and ready to play for the country will make his provisional list of 27 players to the Faro camp from where he will draw a 23-man squad for the biannual African soccer showpiece in South Africa. "We are trying to put the list together but at as now I can't tell you who will be in the list or not. One I am sure is that only those who are fully fit and committed and they are ready to play for their fatherland will make the list."
Though, the former Hawks of Togo and Eagles of Mali failed to give insight as to who will make the list or not, but LEADERSHIP Sports scoop revealed that the likes of US-based forward Bright Dike, Russia-based strikers Ahmed Musa, Obafemi Martins, Ike Uche, Shola Ameobi, Chelsea duo Victor Moses and John Mikel Obi will be on the trail to Eagles camp in Faro and Nations Cup. Also expected to make the list are Real Betis of Spain midfielder, Nosa Igiebor, skipper, Joseph Yobo, Elderson Echejili, Taye Taiwo, Rennes of France defender, Apam Onyekachi as well as Italy base Ogenyi Onazi.
Those that may be overlooked by the Stephen Keshi led technical crew for the 2013 Nations Cup from our scoop are Inter Milan injured midfielder, Joel Obi, West Bromwich of England pace striker, Osaze Odemwingie, Ukraine-based striker Brown Ideye and Emmanuel Emenike.
