Bruder MB Arocs Halfpipe Dump Truck 03623$46.98
Power, ruggedness and efficiency are paramount every day while driving on the road or working at the construction site. Mercedes-Benz developed Arocs to satisfy these specific needs to the full extent. Apart from adding these technical features, the manufacturer also overhauled the design accordingly. For instance, the front of the radiator grille now sports a "bucket tooth" design with the "teeth" intended to signify that the vehicle is tough and hands-on and to express shear power. When adopting the design of its real-world brother, we focused on the sturdiness customers have come to expect from BRUDER and fitted the driver's cab with opening doors to allow BRUDER's toy figures to climb in. The special halfpipe shape ensures that the loaded freight will automatically be positioned in the centre, which is of great benefit while driving and makes unloading as easy as can be. The 3-level extendible cylinder of the tipping trough and the tailgate can be locked in different steps to allow for as many play situations as possible.

Cooper Grace Ward Partners with VMware to Deliver Flexible Working
"VMware View underpins our new 'flexible device policy', which provides the firm's team members with more options when choosing when and where to work."
Cork Institute of Technology
Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) is a Third level college based in the south of Ireland in Cork. The challenges they were looking to address in CIT was in relation to the online delivery of cloud computing courses. VMware View allowed them to deploy virtual desktops to the students and also they choose vCloud Director Product to deploy labs to students as well. Since these students use their own vAPP; with vCloud director, the vAPPs are segregated and they are isolated from other vAPPS so they can manipulate these tools, test these tools and not affect the network surrounding.
"We have been forging industry links with VMware and we had worked quite closely with VMware in developing cloud computing academic programmes and it was through these links and through the positive experience we had with VMware products previously that we decided to choose VMware View as the desktop deployment solution and vCloud Director."
Cornerstone Community Bank
Cornerstone Community Bank chose VMware for its server virtualization and need for High Availability. Since using VMware the bank has experienced cost reduction in the purchase and maintenance of physical servers, and has implemented a disaster recovery plan that can be tailored to meet the ease-of-use but also scalability needs of a small IT staff.
"VMware is critical to our disaster recovery. It saves us many, many hours. At my previous place of employment, it took us about 12 to 14 hours to get a domain controller up in a disaster recovery test. With VMware, we're able to stand up our domain controller in about 4 hours."
Cornerstone Home Lending
Due to the poor Hyper-V experience, Cornerstone launched a thorough investigation into competitive virtualization offerings that would provide a stable and reliable architecture. In the end, the team chose VMware.

"For the first time ever we're able to capacity plan, to look ahead and forecast what we're going to need for the next one, three, or five years. This allows us to act proactively and give the business a clear model of projected costs along with a timeline. Ability to forecast capacity usage has changed the way Cornerstone calculates IT budgets. It gives us the ability to invest in IT the proper way."

"The vCloud Air team had the best onboarding process for any IT project that I've been involved with in the last 20 years. We haven't looked back."
"The infrastructure in a HIPAA-compliant environment needs to be secure with controls for change management and the right firewalls and technology to protect the perimeter. Before moving to vCloud Air, we had policies in place, but we didn't have the infrastructure to support them. On vCloud Air, we've deployed technical controls on our core infrastructure and anti-virus and other solutions in a holistic approach to security that allows us to comply with regulations and achieve HIPAA certification."

When our soul has been purged and feels free from evil passions, it experiences a great craving for spiritual things. Like a famished person, it longs for many different kinds of pious practices, mortification, penance, humility, charity, and prayer. To have so keen an appetite is a good sign, but you must consider whether you can properly digest all you want to eat. From among all such desires choose, according to your spiritual director's advice, those you can practice and fulfill at present. … [Read more...]

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU's Todd Graham 'excited' about schedule ahead, starting with Wisconsin
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Now the fun begins.
The much-talked about, much-analyzed and perhaps more importantly much-anticipated portion of the Arizona State Sun Devils' football schedule is here: Three BCS bowl opponents over the next four weeks.
"When I first got here, I was real concerned that we'd be ready to be able to play that kind of schedule. And we're fixing to find out," head coach Todd Graham said with a smile.
During his weekly Monday press conference, Graham, a game into his second season with the program, admitted he was more nervous last week while getting ready to play Sacramento State. He noted the number of upsets, of which there were eight FBS teams beaten by FCS, formerly Division I-AA, teams in the first week.
"Those are the ones that make you nervous as heck," he said.
Of course, ASU had little trouble, if any, against Sacramento State, winning 55-0 last Thursday.
This week, the nervousness Graham said he felt is gone, replaced only by excitement as his team prepares to run the gauntlet through one of the tougher stretches in all of college football.
"(We) get an opportunity to play the Big 10 champion (Wisconsin), and then get the Pac-12 champion (Stanford). (We've) got USC and then Notre Dame, a team that played for the National Championship," he said. "That's a great opportunity and great exposure for our program -- a great opportunity to take our program to the next level."
The first opportunity comes Saturday when No. 20 Wisconsin visits in a primetime matchup in front of an expected sold out Sun Devil Stadium before a national television audience (ESPN).
Wisconsin is 2-0, having shut out each of its first two opponents.
In addition, Wisconsin possesses one of the better rushing offenses. In each of its first two games, the Badgers have had three 100-yard rushers and are averaging 390 total yards on the ground, second-best in the country.
Graham has made rush defense a priority, especially after ASU ranked 10th in the conference and 81st nationally a year ago (182.8 yards allowed per game).
"There was a great sense of urgency throughout camp," he said. "We knew exactly what we were going to be facing in Week Two. This is as good a run football and as good a big-play team as we're going to play. We'll find out exactly where we're at when it comes to our run defense, and I've got confidence in them."

On Our Radar: Stella McCartney Limited-Edition Tank
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
In case you didn't quite make it to Glastonbury for the music festival last month, Stella McCartney is bringing a little piece of the fun to Yoox.com.
She originally created this limited-edition tank, $50, for the Glasto festival. She explains: "The t-shirt is inspired by all the airbrushing my mum and dad used to get made in the '70s."
The tank will be on sale starting July 24 (tomorrow!), and proceeds benefit the Oxfam charity, whose aim is to end worldwide poverty. Ever the Robin Hood, that Stella is.

Bobby Lashley vs James Thompson To Headline SFL Card, Prangley, Galesic Join Super Fight League 3 Bill
Two hulking heavyweights will square off in Super Fight League's next main event, promotion officials announced Wednesday, as James Thompson will face Bobby Lashley on May 6.
The Indian promotion also revealed three additional contests for Super Fight League 3, which takes place at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi. UFC veteran Trevor Prangley will lock horns with Baga Agaev in a light heavyweight affair, while onetime World Extreme Cagefighting titlist Doug Marshall will face Zelg Galesic at middleweight. Also showcased will be a 125-pound women's attraction pitting Lena Ovchynnikova against Joanne Calderwood. As with the promotion's previous two installments, the event with will stream live on YouTube.
Thompson, 33, made his SFL debut at the promotion's inaugural event on March 11, defeating fellow Pride Fighting Championships veteran Bob Sapp. A nine-year pro, "The Colossus" has fought for a variety of organizations over the course of his career, including Dream, Sengoku, Cage Rage and EliteXC. The Brit was recently noted for his two-fight series with Polish strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski, besting the 35-year-old in their first bout and fighting to a controversial no-contest in the rematch.
Lashley, meanwhile, is a former professional wrestler with World Wrestling Entertainment. After beginning his MMA career a perfect 5-0, the 35-year-old was stopped by cagey heavyweight Chad Griggs in August 2010. "The Dominator" rebounded from the defeat, however, posting victories overJohn Ott and Karl Knothe to close out 2011.

Relying on analysis of archival material and a survey of contemporary medical literature, this thesis makes a contribution to the literatures on international health arrangements, the interplay between domestic and global policy issues, and the evolution of a humanitarian impulse within certain corners of the medical profession. The actors and organizations profiled here grappled with questions related to whether the medical profession could lead the international system to a higher moral plane through the intrinsically apolitical nature of the pursuance of health, or whether medicine and its inherent power relationships could ever escape politics. In their efforts to enshrine health and medicine within the international system, physicians and other health professionals pursued a course that was as pragmatic as any in the idealistic context of the postwar period, but they also demonstrated a philosophy and outlook that fit with the grand visions that dominated plans of the period. As medical professionals looked beyond their borders to address issues with global repercussions, they nonetheless brought their national paradigms, circumstances and preconceptions to their efforts. This thesis therefore casts a lens on the dynamic interplay between national and international efforts to apply the spirit of medicine to concerns ranging from cancer control to the prevention of war. It also explores the manner in which physicians sought to organize themselves on an international basis to exchange valuable expertise about issues affecting their profession domestically.

Trudeau was an extremely influential historical figure, both as prime minister (1968-1984), but also before his entry into formal politics, when he traveled and studied around the world, became deeply influenced by leftist movements and intellectuals, and sought to modernize Quebec, which in his view was falling behind English Canada in terms of technological, social, and democratic development. In essence, Trudeau sought to forge a liberal democracy he thought absent in Quebec, and found his staunchest allies to be trade unionists and socialists. In the end, however, Trudeau largely abandoned those movements because he felt winning liberal freedoms required the shelving of socialist objectives. This would, in turn, be his justification for joining the Liberal Party in 1965. As Prime Minister, Trudeau opposed the objectives and philosophies of his former left allies, even as he maintained his image as a progressive. So while many saw his Just Society, his approach to public and Canadian ownership of energy, his New Society, and his Charter of Rights and Freedoms as left-wing initiatives, I argue that Trudeau's actions were undertaken not to challenge capitalism, but to strengthen it, primarily through the empowerment of business and the disempowerment of unions and the economically-disenfranchised. Ultimately, this dissertation asserts that Trudeau cannot be classified as a socialist, but must be seen as a liberal preoccupied, not with liberty and equality, but with the continued pre-eminence of capitalist property relations.

The first chapter examines how the defection of Igor Gouzenko in 1945 framed the Canadian state's approach to the security aspects of cultural exchanges with the Soviet Union. Chapters 2 to 4 analyse the socio-economic, political, and international context that shaped Canada's music, classical theatre, and ballet exchanges with communist countries. The final chapter explores Expo '67's World Festival of Arts and Entertainment as a significant moment in international and domestic cultural relations. I contend that although focused abroad, Canada's cultural initiatives served a nation-building purpose at home. For practitioners of Canadian cultural diplomacy, domestic audiences were just as, if not more, important as foreign audiences.

This study examines that historical moment and asks what it was about the interwar period that caused unbelief to thrive. It details the day-to-day operation of anti-religious organizations and the backlash that they provoked from both church and state. It also delves into the activities of those who sought to keep Canada Christian by agitating against atheism and the teaching of evolution. There were a number of social and cultural trends that fostered interwar unbelief, such as the disillusionment of many veterans with orthodox religion, conflicts between fundamentalists and modernists, and the spread of Communism. By examining local organizations we can see how these broader forces were made manifest in specific communities. Rationalist societies in Winnipeg and Toronto were remarkably successful in attracting working-class audiences. A group of francophone communists in Montreal were equally active in putting out anti-religious propaganda. This challenge to the Christian status quo faced stiff opposition from both church and state, however, and some leading unbelievers were severely punished. The absence of organized unbelief in Nova Scotia, meanwhile, did not prevent fears of creeping atheism, as is illustrated by a controversy over the teaching of evolution in local high schools. By examining and placing in context these stories from across the country this study sheds new light on the history of both belief and unbelief in Canada.

Product description
Originally published in 1933, Conversion is a seminal study of the psychology and circumstances of conversion from about 500 B.C.E. to about 400 A.D. A.D. Nock not only discusses early Christianity and its converts, but also examines non-Christian religions and philosophy, the means by which they attracted adherents, and the factors influencing and limiting their success. Christianity succeeded, he argues, in part because it acquired and adapted those parts of other philosophies and religions that had a popular appeal.

Author information
Arthur Darby Nock (1902-1963) was the Frothingham Professor of the History of Religion at Harvard University. He was for years one of the world's leading authorities on the religions of later antiquity. He is also the author of Early Gentile Christianity and Its Hellenistic Background and Essays on Religion and the Ancient World.
Review quote
"From the time when each petty State had its peculiar set of local deities down to the final triumph of the Catholic Church, [Nock] traces the history, and to some extent the psychology, of the processes by which religions were gradually syncretized and their minor differences canceled out. -- Odell Shepard New York Times There has been so much loose writing and talking in recent times about the relation of the so-called mystery religions to Christianity that Professor Nock's erudite and sympathetic presentation of the points of likeness and unlikeness between them... is a very valuable contribution to the history of religion. Times Literary Supplement The reader will find much to fascinate him in the author's development of this theme. With a sure hand he traces the ways by which Eastern religious ideas penetrated the West, following paths of trade, carried by soldiers from one end of the empire to the other, communicated by Oriental slaves to Roman masters. -- Campbell Bonner The Saturday Review of Literature

Jacob Schlottke---Gone too soon, and the world is a little less bright because of it. RIP, brother.
One, two, Evans is coming for you...
I click on it and says it's unavailable...
Some reason I thought this match was tomorrow so I didn't get a chance to watch it, but looking at the stats it seems like a good bounce back match for the Gophers after the awful way they wrestled against Michigan State last night.
Big win in particular for Cody Yohn over a solid Aaron Hynes.
YAY for whatshisname beating Stevens 11-5 .
Hynes looked in control but when you 'd look at the scoreboard Yohn was ahead 4-0 ? Hynes was close to cradling him twice but ?? Good Job Yohn .The other yohn nearly beat Biondo-Biondo is in wretched condition -he was warned for stalling and could barely move the last 30 seconds .
anybody have the results?
125 Sanders by major dec I didn't see this one.
133 Than(?) won by dec Than looked good.
141 Thorn won by major dec Thorn really dominated him
149 Mason won by fall & looked awesome doing it. I think he had three slick takedowns.
157 Gryelko lost in overtime (questionable stalling calls on Gryelko to put match into overtime, and in overtime the Michigan guy was deep on a shot, Gryelko locked up an ankle tight, and was holding on for a stalemate, when Michigan's shoe came off, in Gryelko hands, the Michigan kid got the takedown.) Gryelko was left sitting there with a shoe in his hands. On another note, Gryelko is an animal! I loved his aggresive shots off the whistle.
165 Cody Yohn won a dec Threw the legs in a rode his opponent pretty hard. I believe he was ahead 4-0 going into the 3rd, and then got rode out.
174 Glasser looked awesome on his feet & dec'd a highly ranked opponent, the only thing that concerns me is that Glasser doesn't work from the top, he just rides. If he could perfect a cheap tilt, he could get a little breathing room in his matches.
184 Young It was a close match, and I dont' remember who won. If Young could set up his shots, he'd win alot more matches...always seems like he's shooting out of the back 40.
197 Sonny Yohn - Lost a close match. He really needs to work harder from his feet. He did nothing during the entire first period.
Hwt Ben Berthow won a dec, and looked good doing it. He finished a few shots and really dominated his opponent.
How long has the smaller Yohn been at 165? Thought he was 174...
Joe McFarland has done a bangup job at Michigan but this year's team is brutal. I think you could combine MSU/EMU/Michigan into one team and still have a tough time beating CMU in a dual.
Last night was younger Yohn's first time wrestling at 165 in a Gopher uniform.
"Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they speak."

Pantone Colorvision ColorPlus for Win 7?
Jul 29, 2010
Hope you can help me. I own a Pantone ColorVision ColorPlus colorimeter that I used successfully on my old XP Pro machine. This is the $99 consumer version of the pro devices.
The hardware is fine for my needs. I wonder if there is software that would allow this device to be used on my fancy new Win 7 64 bit machine. It seems a waste to just toss this colorimeter.
I tried to get through to Pantone, but they seem to make it nearly impossible to get through unless you own a current product.
I'm going to cross-post this to the PC forum in hopes of mining all these great sources!

I've had one person tell me normal porosity and another tell me porous (Deva). When I used silicones, I didn't have the frizz to the extent I do now when I even diffused. I like to take a dryer to my hair for a few seconds when almost dry to help the volume, as well. I can't do that any longer without it freaking out on me.
I've used numerous things other than Deva and Ouidad (which, many if those are full of nasties). I always liked the BSRHG for the past 4 years, but it's becoming ineffective.
Tried Jessie Curl...and while I like the cleanser, it doesn't help in the way of "final product" (not to mention its not available locally). Tried Curl Keeper...(also not local) and it didn't go well. Carol's Daughter was too much for my hair...
Tried re:coil...makes me greasy. TIGI Root Boost is ok... But it doesn't help with getting my curl back or frizz. Even the BSRHG isn't enough to control it any longer.
I'm always left looking stringy and dirty. It's awful.
Pre-special cuts, I would get spirals around my face and underneath crown area (my back end is a whole other type). Granted, I always had to put the sides/bangs in a barrette, but I still have to do that now...there's no difference except I've lost curl.
I use flour sacks or tee shirts after a shower. I don't really brush through...just use it to guide the sides and back into a pony tail. My hair is not dry...it is not damaged. I usually sit under a dryer or air dry. Yesterday, I tried a diffuser and the hair was frizzy awful.
I have been sulfate free since 2007 (no -cones, either). My options of product consist of what's at Ulta...so many CG friendly things I read about here (at a salon level and not standard drug store things).
I'm not looking to straighten everyday... just something to salvage my hair when it's a complete mess.
Today, dressed UP, I had to resort to a casual pony tail (frizzy one, at that). Even the lavender type of spray does nothing but make it wet.
So...totally I'm up for suggestions. I'm MORE concerned with salvaging bad hair days. I'm tired of pony tails (still frizzy anyway).

If you've been reading THE BIONIC MAN from Dynamite Entertainment or are familiar with the different versions of the show, you have an idea who the Bionic Woman is. Earlier this month Dynamite officially announced THE BIONIC WOMAN series would be debuting in March.
With this being Paul Tobin's first time working with Dynamite Entertainment, we had the opportunity to speak with him on his plans for the new series.
Comic Vine: First of all, is it Jamie or Jaime?
Paul Tobin: It's Jaime! Definitely. I've seen her birth certificate and gym membership.
CV: In THE BIONIC MAN #1, Steve Austin (the Bionic Man) is engaged to Jaime and she's a fifth grade teacher. How does she go from teacher to ending up in Paris, on the trail of the "The Mission"?
PT: Ahh, well... that's the tale, ain't it? There's a lot of back story to be brought to light, such as Jaime's relationship with OSI and Steve Austin, as well as her relationship with who she used to be. I'll be exploring these aspects of her character, and of how she went from Point A to Point O, in the evolving storyline. Some big secrets to be revealed.== TEASER ==
CV: Where will this book fit in with the current BIONIC MAN? Will the books have a separate feel or will there be tight continuity?
PT: A bit of both, really. THE BIONIC WOMAN is definitely its own book, with its own feel, supporting cast, etc. But Jaime and Steve live in the same world, and lead similar lives, so their paths do cross from time to time, and it's not always going to be for the best. It's like when you break up with someone... suddenly you're running across them EVERYWHERE it seems, and the heartache won't go away, and you're wondering why they're laughing as they're buying oranges, or you're wondering why they're driving a taxi when you're bounding across Parisian rooftops and running through traffic, dodging incoming fire and trying for a good angle on the rooftop snipers. We've all been there.
CV: Originally (I believe) she only had a bionic arm, legs and ear. Will she have the same bionic parts?
PT: She does have all of those. Yes, indeed. Does she have anything else? Well... all women are mysteries, and Jaime is a bit more mysterious than most, and her bag of tricks is far more interesting.
CV: Will the first issue feature her getting the bionic parts or will she already have them?
PT: She already has them as we begin. We wanted to get right into the action... to explode her life onto the pages. I think the story of how she became bionic is important, but well enough established that we don't need to revolve a storyline around it at this point. There ARE some secrets to be told, still, about it, though... and those will come in time.
CV: Because she came from a sports background, Jamie had some advantages over Steve with the bionics. Will that still be the case?
PT: I think they both have advantages over each other. Steve wins in terms of sheer power, but Jaime wins in enough other categories that I think she'd be the one holding the trophy in the end.
CV: What kind of warranty does she get for her parts and how often do they need to be maintained/tuned up?
PT: Oh man... I could tell you stories. Tune ups. Upgrades. I've gone with her to the insurance agent. Well, her NEWEST insurance agent. She's been through like twenty of them since I became friends with her. And her mechanics have put all their children through college thanks to Jaime. In fact, I believe the mechanics are just handing out free scholarships at this point.
We'll be sure to keep an eye out for THE BIONIC WOMAN #1 in March.

Eagles soar after mauling Haven in second half blitz
Published at 15:44, Wednesday, 05 May 2010
WHITEHAVEN suffered a 12-try mauling as Sheffield Eagles romped away with the game in the final 30 minutes.
Until then Haven had been in the hunt and had twice taken the lead but their resistance was blown away at a bitterly cold Bramall Lane yesterday.
At the end some of the travelling fans made their displeasure with the team's performance and coach Ged Stokes plain by chanting for action. The win lifted the Eagles – who had only won once before in the league this season – above Whitehaven.
Maybe this was never going to be Haven's day. In the warm up Tom Phillips pulled up and had to be replaced at centre by Mike Darby.
Eight minutes into the game back rower Danny Barker twisted badly as he came out of a tackle on Eagles fullback Misi Taulapapa and was knocked unconscious.
Barker was motionless and the team doctor and physios gave him oxygen and he was put on a stretcher and taken to Sheffield Northern General Hospital for checks on a suspected neck injury.
Haven went behind early in the game as centre Menzie Yere blasted through the defensive line.
Following Barker's injury second row Alex Szostak's try increased the Eagles lead but Tangi Ropati was unable to add the goals.
Hooker Graeme Mattinson was causing the Eagles problems and linking well with Leroy Joe and Carl Rudd as Haven came back. A double substitution of Howard Hill and Marc Jackson had also given more go forward.
Haven came back into the game with Joe weighing up his options before chipping over a static Eagles line for Mark Jackson to touch down. Rudd added the goal.
Eagles started to make handling errors but these were balanced by a series of penalties conceded by Haven before they took the lead.
The referee seemed to lose count of the tackles and on the seventh Joe chipped through for Craig Calvert to race in for the try. Rudd added the goal.
The Eagles took it back before half-time with a Matty Brooks try and a Ropati goal to lead 14-12.
Three minutes after the restart Haven were back in front with Rudd trying a cheeky long kick straight up the field which left the Eagles flat-footed as Calvert raced in for his second try. Rudd added the goal.
Then things started to go wrong as Eagles prop Alex Rowe made the Whitehaven cover tackling look paper thin with power runs to score two ties with Ropati adding the goals.
The Eagles stood still as Rob Jackson raced in from dummy half and with Rudd's goal the margin was narrowed to two points - but that was it. There was around 30 minutes to go but Haven could have been back on the bus as their resistance crumbled.
Samoan centre Ropati scored two tries either side of a touchdown by Aaron Groom. Ropati brought his goal tally to four from seven attempts before handing over the goal kicking to Lindsay.
Haven briefly made it into the Eagles half following a 40-20 but then almost immediately lost possession.
The tries just kept coming with Rowe completing his hat-trick, hooker Craig Cook twisting over by the posts from dummy half to bring up the 50 points.
In the final couple of minutes winger Ashley Thackeray touched down in the corner and Cook added his second try with Lindsay kicking his fourth goal from five.
Sheffield: Taulapapa, Thackeray, Ropati, Yere, Mills; Lindsay, Groom; Hepworth, Cook, Exton, Szostak, Green, McDonald. Subs: Hirst, Rove, Brooks, Corcoran.
Tries: Rowe (45, 47, 72), Ropati (55, 65), Cook (74, 80), Yere (3), Szostak (15), Brooks (39), Groom (58), Thackeray (77).
Goals: Ropati 4/7, Lindsay 4/5.
Whitehaven: Veivers; Eilbeck, Darby, R Jackson, Calvert; Rudd, Skee; Thornley, Mattinson, Amor, S Miller, Barker, Joe. Subs: Smith, M Jackson, Hill, R Fox.
Tries: M Jackson (21) Calvert (33, 43), R Jackson (52).
Goals: Rudd 4/4.
Referee: Matthew Thomason.
Attendance: 1,301.
Star Man: Graeme Mattinson for his first half performance.

Newest 'Call of Duty' blasts past $1 billion
Published: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 8:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 8:26 a.m.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" continues its multibillion-dollar march.
The game's publisher, Activision Blizzard, announced that the latest release in the first-person shooting series surpassed the $1 billion mark in just 16 days since its Nov. 8 debut.
By comparison, last year's "Call of Duty: Black Ops" did not exceed $1 billion in sales until about a month after its release. That game went on to become the top-selling video game of all time, with more than 25 million copies sold.
Activision would not reveal the exact number of copies of "Modern Warfare 3" that have sold, but it is estimated at about 16 million.
"What is exciting is it seems as though people who never played a video game before are looking at 'Call of Duty' and saying, 'OK, this is the one I want to play,' " says CEO Bobby Kotick.
The game's Hollywood production levels, online community and the comedic TV advertisements starring actors Sam Worthington and Jonah Hill and NBA star Dwight Howard help pull in newcomers, Kotick says. "The appeal is broadening," he says. "When people think about their entertainment choices ... this is now a category that has more mass appeal than it ever had before."
Kotick noted that "Modern Warfare 3" also outpaced, by one day, the ascent of James Cameron's 3-D film "Avatar" to $1 billion in 2009. "This is a mass medium," he says. "It has arrived."
Whether "Modern Warfare 3" overtakes "Black Ops" remains to be seen, says Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter. "Black Ops" continued to sell well into 2011.
"Modern Warfare 3" was the best-selling game in November, according to market-tracking firm The NPD Group. That game and other hits such as No. 2 selling "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" from Bethesda Softworks, helped lift total video game software sales 15 percent to $1.67 billion, compared with $1.45 billion in November 2010.
That increase in sales, coming in a year when sales have dropped below 2010 totals, is "a very good sign that the games business is doing well," Kotick says.
Pachter expects the industry to return to annual growth of 2 percent or 3 percent. That is not the 10 percent annual growth seen during the rise of music games and the Nintendo Wii. "But it should make people feel comfortable that Zynga is not taking over the world."
Social-gaming company Zynga, creator of CityVille, is slated to go public later this week.

I think 3A leader Wasatch wins in first round game along with Ogden and Desert
Hills. Whoever is Region 10 2 seed will also win at home. Dixie should also
advance from a rugged Region 9 setting up an excellent match with the home
standing Wasps ( a reprise of last year's semi final game). While Ogden
has put up impressive numbers offensively, it has largely been due to suspect
competition. Their defense looks strong, but they got hammered last year by J.D.
in the semis so not sure what to make of them in 2013.
Right now I'm thinking Wasatch vs Ogden in 1 semi final with Des Hills winning out on the topside. Wasatch winning state championship at Rio Tinto.

I have Cedar winning their first game against Spanish Fork and I like their chances in the next two games (including against Desert Hills in the semi-finals). But the games are played on the field so who really knows. As for the other bracket I have Pine View playing either Dixie or Wasatch in the semifinals. We shall see...

Admittedly, I know little about soccer. But, I have watched Wasatch a few times this year, and they make the game look really easy. I watched the second half today, and they looked like they were playing a level (or two) higher than their opponent. If every team scored like that, I would find soccer a little more interesting, as it is, I'll stick with hockey, at least there in a low scoring battle you get some fights, and no one flops when bumped into. Regardless, good luck Wasps, I hope you win it all!

Region 9 still has 4 out of 4 remaining in the tournament. Region 10 has 3 out of 4 remaining and Ogden is the last representative of the 5 playing the tournament from Region 11. So far it looks like the strength for the 20013 Spring Season in 3A boys are in Regions 9 and 10. Good luck to all at the games on Saturday.

text: CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs broke a four-game losing streak Tuesday, getting a late-inning rally and solid if not spectacular work by their newly configured bullpen in a 6-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Pinch hitter Scott Hairston's eighth-inning sacrifice fly, gave beleaguered former closer Carlos Marmol his first win of the season. Marmol, who was demoted after blowing a save in Atlanta on Saturday, was relegated to middle relief in his last two outings.

While the organization and details are different, ISA sounds a bit like the last organization I was on the Board of Directors for. Instead of service to the members, and working on increasing membership, it serves itself and its cash flow. My attempts to make the organization more relevant to members who didn't harvest the cash flow, were the trigger that led to its final explosion.
Some organizations outlive their usefulness. This is especially likely to happen when leadership ossifies, and serving the needs of the hierarchy becomes more important than serving the membership. What you've been saying, for the last week or so, sounds like the ISA has reached that point. Unless those who run ISA start to ask "WTF happened to our membership?" and sound like they intend to take action on the answer, you're best off working with organizations that are relevant, or honestly wish to become relevant.

The Stress Relief Button
Travel is a very stressful adventure for the underwater photographer. Many of the world's best dive locations are remote, situated far from mankind's influence. The lack of civilisation that makes these spots so desirable environmentally also ensures that there is not a handy camera shop on the corner waiting to fix any problems.
Our worries get a lot worse when we start to take pictures. Before shooting digital, I spent almost 20 years exposing film underwater, and whenever I was away I would have no real idea how I was doing. Certainly experience reassures us we are doing fine, but we can only remember what it looked like through the viewfinder and hope that our black box of mechanics and electronics is working properly…
