I have to agree on the lack of hype. RIFT always seemed like a competent MMO, much more so than many other, much more hyped, MMO's. Yet I never hear any buzz or well, anything at all about the game. It's like it exists in its own little bubble
WoW is still doing TV commercials 10 years after launch but I've never seen anything on RIFT

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer..."
Agree on all points, and I would add one. Up until December I was a year long subscriber, but since the F2P transition the game development has gotten more and more centered around the cash shop. That not only worries me for the future of the game, but it pissed me off enough to get me to let my subscription lapse. So my suggestion is, stop making so many content updates that revolve so much around the cash shop...

Lotro might have technically got expansions, but they have paled in comparison to Moria and each one has been worse and worse.
Until finally the disaster that was Helm's Deep, which apparently put in the game into maintenance mode, with no more expansions planned (or new content any time soon).

Personally, i don't believe the Author has played from 50~53 recently as it is no longer a "brick wall" as he puts it. This was addressed in a patch a few months back.
The game is grindy. That's true, but I would argue the lvl 60 grind is the worst. This too has been improved in a patch a few months back, however.
MMO's are generally grindy and I would say that Rift is maybe like TBC in this regard. I wouldn't call it over the top. I would like it reduced, but there are pots for this?
It's a classic example of neglecting the fact that the game is F2P.
You play for free, but if you want to reduce the grind, simply buy an XP pot? I would like to see 160% pots in the Auction House permanently, however. I don't play regularly at the moment, but last time I checked, 80% was the max.
Also, patron bonus increased to 80% and stacking with pots would be nice. There is almost no reason to be a patron at the moment.
The writer left out the single most important thing that is wrong with Rift - performance. It runs pretty much worse than most other MMO's that I've played on my rig. It needs a heckuva lot of optimization. It is completely single-core, CPU locked. Over a 660ti video card makes little to no difference whatsoever.

I would really like to see the game go "back to its roots" so to speak and see more frequent quality updates like Trion was doing. Before Storm Legion launched I was absolutely blown away by the amount of content each update brought to the game. I think just doing that and getting their name back out their more would bring a good chunk of the population back. It's still a really good game it just needs some TLC.

Storm legion leveling a grind? I am not sure what I did but I hit 60 in less than 2 weeks post storm legion launch.
It went fast - just need to find a good xp group and do hunt rifts, you get a level every 2-3 hours.

If the content in Storm Legion is really fun and enjoyable to do ... then why the need to speed up leveling?
That right there is one of the #1 things plaguing the genre.... this "need" people have to "go faster! Go go go!". It's the rallying call of a community of players who have become all but completely end-game obsessed, to the exclusion of just about anything else.
It's so funny to see one of the key problems in modern MMOs summed up in such a short space. "We want more interesting content.... but we also want to be able to level through it and to the end faster".
How about, instead of obsessing over how quickly that xp bar is stretching across your screen, just try to enjoy the damn game and let the levels come as they will?
What, exactly, is the freaking hurry?

Perhaps tomorrow will be better.
I feel devs have the wrong perception themselves and that is the problem.
I think it already obvious that when gamer's say they are having fun,they don't know what fun really is because we see those same players leaving short thereafter.
Constant updates are NOT the answer,that tells me or SHOULD tell the developer there is a bigger problem.
1 your content is NOT fun and 2 there is no reason to replay the content.If the combat and classes are FUN,then players should want to keep playing OLDER content.
Constant updates is merely quantity over quality and that does not compute.
Leveling too slow?Hahah try vanilla FFXI,but guess what ,we were enjoying ourselves because the combat and creatures were fun to fight and grouping was fun and our classes were fun to play,catch the keyword?>>FUN.
Generic questing ,like we see in EVERY game is not going to bring out the FUN factor in ANY of the game,it is merely a tool for running from one npc to the next,not fun in my books.
The two biggest mistakes i see in game development is class design and how you level and comabt needs to be fun.If the combat is FUN,then we couldn't care less how long levels take.Besides that who cares about levels,they are only a number that mean absolutely nothing.
Here is the other thing,you can't just COPY and paste every other game by offering linear questing then some sort of end game,that generic game design needs to stop and right now would be a good time.
Bring in great grouping ideas and content that brings the whole server together,you know FUN stuff,not leveling and gear grinds.

Well stated, Wizardry. I particularly agree on the FFXI part... though I also realize many gamers (especially those accustom to "modern MMOs") would consider old-school FFXI to have been a fate worse than death.
I agree with you, though.. It was always fun. The fights were longer and slower... but the coordination and communication between players, the sync'ing of skill-chains and MBs and such... and the ever-present possibility of another mob getting too close and linking on made fighting in that game an enjoyable pastime... worst case, it was acceptable. The slower combat speed and longer fights facilitated, even necessitated that interaction. Defeating a really tough enemy was a satisfying experience, and it wasn't limited to Instances and HNMs. Some will try to dismiss that as "rose colored glasses", but they'd be wrong. It's the combat - among other things - that kept me playing XI for over 7 years, as with many others. Nostalgia has nothing to do with it.
It's unlikely that a modern AAA MMO developers will ever a create a MMO with the keeping power or long-term loyalty of a FFXI, or many of its time, because they continue to design the games in complete contradiction to what gave those games their longevity in the first place.
So long as they continue to keep making these MMOs with ever faster leveling, ever more hand-holding and guidance and ever more "convenience" and ever more "rewards" for ever less effort... They will continue to fall into the same trap. Over and over and over again. It's like no one at these companies is paying attention to the rest of the genre, what has worked, and what hasn't. They're too blinded by Blizzard's success.
There are valuable lessons to be learned from those older MMOs. Things that worked, and continue to work, even a decade+ later. As long as they continue to ignore those things, we'll keep seeing the same thing repeat ad nauseum.

But you called it right, its a competent MMO. there are plenty of MMOs just as 'competent', if not better that get less hype. For instance, EQ2. When was the last time you saw an article on this site about EQ2 outside of a press release about an expansion? Hell I know some of the writers on this site don't even know that Rift's housing comes from EQ2.

I think the most important thing is Rift 3.0 - if it's well executed and delivers on gameplay and content - it's gonna be a great year for Rift.

Always remember. Your focus determines your reality...
I had the same login problems after not playing for over a year. Login screen said my password or email was wrong, when it wasn't. They just wanted me to reset my password by going through my email address to get access to answer my secret question in order to reset my password. If I didn't remember my secret question I would have to answer 3 of 4 very specific questions about my account to get access to reset my password. After I answered my secret question and reset my password I was taken to another screen which read that I could not access my account until I created a new password and new secret questions. After that I logged in and read that I would have to transfer and rename some of my toons, after that I had a coin lock on my toon, then I was logged out of game cause my password had changed....
Reseting my online banking password is easier then this and with GW2 I just hit play as it remembers my ID and password.

I only played for a short time and I really didn't get far in the game. But from the beginning area I got to tell ya it honestly wasn't that great... it definitely didn't make me want to venture further into the game that's for sure. I honestly don't see what was so great about the game to give it a great rating or to keep people really submerged in the world.

Just so we're clear, I have played through 50-53 or I would have refrained from writing this. It is better than launch, but the fact remains, the XP from 49 to 50 and 50 to 51 feels much longer without an experience buff.
I do agree that the rep grind is rough as well.
It baffles me how quickly everyone is turning to "buy an pot!". No. That is not a good answer. That is buying your way around a design problem. Aren't we the same players that criticized LotRO for selling solutions to design problems?

My biggest issue I have been having with Rift since f2p is the fact that they are adding in really cool mounts and there is no other way to get them but to either buy them outright from the cash shop, or have to either grind a crap load of event currency to get grab bags to get a chance at either getting them from there or having to collect X number of pets that are a random drop from the grab bags that you can only either get once from the phase quest for the world event or spend money on the cash shop to get them or grind event currency on them and even then only have a slim chance at getting the right pets out of the grab bags (and getting many duplicates in the process) and there are 2 pets for the achievement to get the mount that are only obtained from the cash shop. Make mounts like that obtainable like when introduced Hell bugs as a crossover from Defiance, as a random drop from Hell bug themed rifts that you had to spawn and fully complete including the unstable levels to have a chance at. Or make them like how Nebula was obtained by world event currency that was only obtained by doing the phase main quest for that phase of the world event that could only be done once per phase so it felt like you were working towards something you actually wanted each phase without being such a currency grind. So that even the most casual and cash strapped players can have a chance to gets the mounts they really like.

EDIT: Also, about the hype for 3.0. Trion has always left it to very near release (by comparison to other companies) to make official announcements about the stuff they're releasing and start building hype. Which is a good thing imo, it reduces the likelihood of hype waining before the product hits the store.

If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
Carson using that delay handoff to perfection so far. Something you didn't see last week.
3rd and 2 denied because of number 77 on Bengals O Line who held his block but couldn't contain the D end. Another poor punt from Huber. Jets to have the ball inside Bengal territory yet again. I really don't think Huber stays with the team next year. He's been lackluster since the bye week.
Brat seems to be playing it safe inside the 20.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
So much for the lead. Jets score on a 39 yard run
My name is Cheesy Beef Burrito
Shonn Greene scores on a running play. A misdirection that had the Bengals being over-aggressive.
Tie game 7-7
If Luke Wilson is going to be in all these commercials would it be too much to ask for him to mix in a work out?
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Situational Hitting is Stupid
Jets TD--we cant stop the Jets running game...here's where we go into our 2 quarters a game coma.
All right Revis with illegal contact. Move them chains!
My name is Cheesy Beef Burrito
Well they got one back for what I thought was PI earlier that didn't get called. Because that looked like offensive PI
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Situational Hitting is Stupid
Jesus corner Darrelle Revis got called for illegal hands. Looked like a bad call. We'll take it.
Then in typical Bengal fashion... they give back the 5 yards on a penalty.
Well..at least we played good for a quarter and a half but the doldrums set in.

At a recent Los Alamos Board of Education meeting, officials from the school district revealed the state is considering making a major change to how it funds special education and the Gifted and Talented Education Program. According to the way the state funds special education, GATE is considered a part of special education.
According to LAPS' Chief Financial Officer John Wolfe, the state is particularly looking at changing over to census-based funding for special education.
After the meeting, Wolfe told the Los Alamos Monitor that this is only a recommendation and that so far, no legislation has resulted from the report. He said he and other school officials will be watching closely to see whether or not the state legislature acts on the recommendations, which were presented in a report by the Legislative Finance Committee.
If that were to happen Wolfe said the district could stand to lose $270,000 in special education funding. "This would have a negative impact on those districts that would exceed the census right now," he said at the meeting.

The 2012 NFL Draft is in the books and so is the 2012 Mr. Irrelevant Winner! With the 253rd pick of the draft the Indianapolis Colts selected the quarterback from Northern Illinois, Chandler Harnish.
Harnish is the most accomplished gun slinger in the history of the school. He ranks first in nearly every single category in career and season records. He also is ranked high in all-time MAC records, including 3rd in All-Time Offensive Yards. He's not just a big arm, he also ran for nearly 3000 yards and 35 touchdowns in his career. He was 22-5 during his Junior and Senior campaigns, which is probably the most important stat.
The Colts selection bookended the draft selecting a QB with the first and last pick. Harnish will go into camp with a chance to compete for a backup role. He will face Drew Stanton and Trevor Vittatoe for a chance to sit behind Andrew Luck. As fun as the "Mr. Irrelevant" award seems, this is still a dream come true to any football player. Harnish told ESPN, "It's complete elation, it's surreal. I'm so happy to be a Colt, I'm speechless." Straitpinkie wants to congratulate Chandler Harnish and we hope he is able to make the cut and continue to live out his dream.

We're ready to meet Boko Haram for peace talks —Ex-Militants' leader
Some call him Pastor. Others call him General. And in some cases, some of his fans put the two titles together as they addressed the former freedom fighter, Reuben Wilson, who held sway in the creeks of the Niger Delta for about three years before he was dragged out by the Federal Government in 2009 when he accepted amnesty and surrendered his arms. Today, Wilson is the chairman of the Leadership Forum for Peace in the Niger Delta and has used the organisation to reach out to militants who are yet to surrender their arms.
In this interview with a group of journalists, Wilson said he was ready to meet the Boko Haram terrorists to convince them to surrender their arms so that peace can be restored in the country. Excerpts:
What gave rise to the formation of this organisation?
We decided to float this body to use it as a platform to launch a peace action that would result in persuading freedom fighters that are still in the creeks to come out and accept the government's amnesty so that we can achieve total peace in the polity. All of us were former militants that embraced amnesty and we are out to also help the federal government to achieve development.
Right now, there is still violence in some parts of the country and sometimes, my attention is called upon to go and talk to those who are still making trouble in the Niger Delta. I can tell you that there we still have some youths who are still carrying arms and terrorizing people. So, what we do is to go and talk them into seeing reason with us and accept the amnesty.
But the Federal Government has said that the doors of the amnesty programme are shut.
Yes. I agree that the amnesty scheme stopped in October 2009, but after then, the Federal Government still accepted the second phase of repentant militants into the programme and that was in 2010. But after, they said they wouldn't accept them again. However, we are still talking with the Federal Government and equally, we are pleading with the people with arms to drop them. When we dropped our arms and accepted the amnesty offer, they were afraid that they would be arrested, but now they have seen that the government meant well. That is why we are pleading with the Federal Government to accept them when they drop their arms.
Is it easy to identify those who are still with arms in the creeks?
Yes, very easy. We know most of them. We talk to most of them on the phone. I have visited two camps when government sent me. I went to a camp in the Ekeremor Local Government Area of Bayelsa State and I went to see General Mammy Water and before I went there, he warned that I should not come to his camp with security men. Of course, that was normal. I led the team to the place with ordinary people, and he appeared with his boys and guns. We told him that it was of no use for him to remain in the creeks, that if he continued that way, he would have nothing to gain. I told him to embrace peace. In November last year, I also visited General Lato who is leading a camp in a creek in Cross River State. I went there with an army captain who dressed in mufti. I can't talk about the quantity of guns he came out with, but among them were machine guns. But I was undeterred. I told him to consider coming out of the camp to embrace peace. The good thing was that he was ready to drop his guns, if the Federal Government opened the amnesty doors for him.
We are waiting for the Federal Government to react because all those I have met are ready to drop their arms. Let me remind you, among those who came out to accept amnesty during the second phase was Commander Koko. I went and talked to him and he accepted and dropped his arms at the JTF in Bayelsa State. There are people that have accepted the amnesty, but who are still having some issues with the authorities. Through this platform, I have been able to address such issues. Just recently, I went to Ezedu to settle a rift. I was also at Akwa Ibom to settle similar issues.
How many camps are still active right now?
Right now, I can't know the number. Let me tell you, the boys that are terrorizing Rivers State, you cannot know how many camps they are operating from. Just of recent, somebody called me from Bonny that a group of boys attacked some soldiers and three days ago, I was told that in the Kalabiri area, close to Bille, two groups clashed and people died. In Akwa Ibom State, there was a clash among those groups and about eight people died and that was two days ago. So, I can't really say the number of camps that are still operating. But whoever is still in the camp now is a criminal. Some of them actually started opening their camps after we had accepted the amnesty offer, and we did not know them. What they do is to terrorise traders on the sea and hijack trawlers. Recently, I sent my boys to the village to go and drop things for me, and as they were coming back, they met sea pirates. My speed boat was 115 horse power, and my boys were not armed. The pirates attacked them when they were on the sea trying to fix the engine boat that developed a fault, but my sea pilot being an expert was able to overrun them on the sea, and my boys overpowered and arrested all of them. They were handed over to the Commissioner of Police in Bayelsa State. We still have pockets of criminals who are yet to understand that the party is over.
Can we ever have peace in Bayelsa State?
We can, that is if we can have support from the government. There is nothing you are doing that does not require money. Now, a drum of fuel is about N50,000 in Bayelsa State. That is why we need support, just like the IYC and others who are fighting for peace in the region . We need to continue going into the creeks to preach this peace message so that we can have total peace in the Niger Delta.
How has life been since you came out of the creeks?
Nothing is as sweet as freedom. When we were in the creeks, we would not go out to the town. We would only leave our camp to the nearby riverine communities and then back to the camp. The only thing we were enjoying in the creeks was fish. Anytime we needed fish, we had enough. But you can't compare the life we are enjoying now with the life in the creeks. Then, we were in bondage, fighting with mosquitoes everyday. To drink water, we would dig holes for water to come out. If you saw our skin then, you would pity us. Now, we can go anywhere we want to go. We were there for like three years and could not see our wives. There is a very big difference in life then and life now. So, anybody who has tasted a life of freedom and does not treasure it is a stupid person. Today, I am a happier person.
You are initiating an organization that is promoting peace, but we are yet to witness real peace in Nigeria.
The thing is that Nigeria belongs to everybody. We understand that the people who are causing the havoc are doing so because of Goodluck Jonathan and you will recall that when he was presenting himself for the election, a lot of comments were made by certain people. Some of them were bold enough to say that if Jonathan took over, they would make Nigeria ungovernable. Boko Haram does not seem to know what they are doing. We were told that their grouse is that they did not want western education. But tell me, when did you hear that Boko Haram has burnt a school? They are bombing churches and other public facilities. That is to show you that they are not sincere. Why can't they come out to say this is what we are fighting for? They are merely acting a script and they want to make sure that Jonathan does not concentrate. We will not copy them. All we are saying is that they should support Jonathan and allow him to concentrate so that we can all enjoy this fresh air. Before he contested the election, he promised Nigerians a regime of fresh air and that is exactly what he is pursuing. He wants the good of our children. That is the truth. Come to think of the subsidy removal protests. Why was it that those who were leading the protests were those who failed to win elections?
You call yourself a politician ,and because you could not win an election, you now find an opportunity to lead a group of innocent and unsuspecting boys to go into the streets to protest. What are you protesting for? If the people that you are leading now knew you were a credible person, why did they not vote you into office? Some are even abusing Mr President, and it is very bad. Look at somebody like Pastor Tunde Bakare. How can he lead his people? He cannot. The Bible says by their fruits we shall know them. He is raining curses on the president. Is he supposed to curse or bless? I pity those who are in his church. Some for them are even sending text messages to people that the president should be impeached, that the military should take over. Can you imagine? Just because he is from the south-south?
The army are a wise people and they will not disrespect the constitution of the land. Let me tell you, they cannot impeach the president. If they try that, I can assure you that it will turn to something else. Nobody will be happy to see their own son being disgraced out of office.
This is the first time that somebody from this region would get to that office and now they are saying that because he wants to stop a cabal from stealing our collective wealth under the guise of subsidy, they want to impeach him. It cannot happen. If the northerners knew, they would not do what they are doing. I am from Koluama in Southern Ijaw. We don't have money. We don't have roads. From Yenagoa to my place is three hours with speed boat and when you go there, you see flames everywhere. That was a place that was once flooded and many people were wiped out.
As I talk to you now, water has gone back there and the people's existence is being threatened. This was part of why we had to take up arms to attract government attention. When others were buying fuel for N65 per litre, we were buying fuel for N200. As I talk now, we are buying for N300, yet the oil is from my area. Do they have oil in the north? No. Yet we are buying the fuel at a more expensive rate than they are buying. The late Yar'Adua told us to accept amnesty and we accepted. Today, they are bombing and killing our people. The government is planning to give buses to the states. How about the riverine communities? There is no plan for them, but have we killed people? What I will say is that we need to give peace a chance.
You are saying it is difficult for them to impeach the president
I am saying that it is not possible. Impeachment will lead to more violence, and ,for us in this forum, our major concern is how to achieve peace. We will take it upon ourselves to go about the country and talk to our compatriots to give peace a chance. We do not want to think of what happened in those days before we accepted amnesty. We want Nigeria to remain one. Yes, we have heard that some people predicted that Nigeria will split in 2015, but I can tell you that this satanic prediction will not work. When their person was there, we did not go after them. Now, they are going after our son for no just cause. We are not saying that we will carry arms. But you can be sure that even without arms, we will confront them, if they try to think of impeaching him.
There are complaints about fight against corruption and that he is not serious about it
I am aware that he is doing something about this. The other day, he sent a name to the Senate for confirmation as chairman of the EFCC. That is the beginning. He has directed the EFCC to probe the fuel subsidy transactions. We know him as a man of action. When he was governor of Bayelsa State, you are aware that he made so much impact there.
Today, there is a bridge across Swali and he did that in just one year. How long has he been in office. This is a country that people had destroyed and he is trying to make amends. How do you expect him to use six months to correct the wrongs that were done in the past decades? He is taking it one step at a time and I am very sure that we will get there. He needs time and support. For some months now, they have not allowed him to concentrate. Boko Haram here and there and they are doing this to have reasons to pick holes in his governance, that he is not in charge. I think he does not deserve this.
What is it that worries you most about this country?
For now, it is the menace of Boko Haram, the spate of bomb blasts in the country. I don't want to talk about the protests that seized the peace of our country. You won't believe that those guys were paid by certain people. They had coordinators. But that is aside. Boko Haram is becoming a major threat to the peace and security of our country. I have always said if they think they have a case, they should come out and tell the government what their problem is. When we were in the creeks, we were known. The SSS, the police and government officials were talking to us and we told them our problems. Sometimes the governors would come to the camp to talk to us and we would tell them our problems. In Bayelsa State, the governor even said he would give us some money so that we would not disturb the peace of the land and then we later came out of the creeks. I was among the first group to meet Yar'Adua and when we met him, we told him our grouse and things were sorted out. Now, there is peace in the Niger Delta. If Boko Haram has anything that is disturbing them, let them come out. They should not hide and then continue destroying churches and killing innocent people.
Can you make yourself available to approach the Boko Haram warriors to embrace peace?
There is no place I cannot go as long as we will achieve peace at the end of the day. What we need at the moment is support from the government and from the people of Nigeria. I do not mind meeting the Boko Haram people for peace talks. What they should do is to open up and tell Nigerians what their problem is and I am sure that the government will give attention to it. I took the risk and went to Bakassi to meet militants in their creeks. Now, assuming I went there and they killed me, I would have gone. But I did not care.
Why do they call you pastor?
I have the fear of God. I am somebody that if I have this little thing and somebody wants it, I will give it out. Even when I was in the creeks, I preached peace. I remember when General Africa and General Ogunbus had problems in their camps, I went to their camps to reconcile them. I invited Africa to Ogunbus' camp and the problem was resolved. Pastor is not my name. It is just because I have the fear of God. They also call me General because I was the leader of warriors. In fact, it was Cameroun gendarmes that called me General first. That time when we were going to war in 1994, the gendarmes saw the way I was commanding my warriors and they called me General.

Daily News Roundup
Sledding can send kids slip-sliding into injury, study says
Whether they're gliding on plain plastic saucers or high-tech snow tubes, children and teens on sleds account for at least 20,820 injuries in the United States each year, according to a first-ever analysis of U.S. emergency room reports. (MSNBC)
Brain scan 'best thing so far' for detecting autism
The way autism is diagnosed could become less subjective by using a brain-imaging-based test that is being developed by researchers and that, in early trials, was 94 percent accurate. Autism is now diagnosed through a symptom-based test: A health-care provider observes a patient for the characteristics outlined in the psychology reference book, "The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV." (MSNBC)
Women exposed to BPA may have trouble getting pregnant
Mice that were exposed to tiny amounts of the common chemical in the womb and shortly after birth had no problems getting pregnant early in their reproductive lives, the study found. But the animals were less likely to get pregnant as they aged compared to animals that had not been exposed to BPA, and they gave birth to smaller litters as time wore on. (MSNBC)
Breast test furor fades but anger lingers
Patients, physicians and major medical organizations fought back ("I want my mammograms!") when the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommended that women with average breast cancer risk begin biannual mammograms at 50. The American Cancer Society, the American College of Radiology (although some would argue that radiologists have financial incentive in frequent screenings) and other organizations have continued to support women getting yearly mammograms from 40 onward. (CNN)
Sex and the baby years
At Good in Bed, we believe that sex matters. It's the glue that binds couples together. It's what makes us more than just friends. Without sex, lovers become roommates, and a bedroom becomes just a place to sleep in (often with a kid or two in it as well). To help new parents "babyproof" their relationships, we just published a new book, "Sex and the Baby Years," by Dr. Hilda Hutcherson OBGYN, which (thanks to the support of K-Y Brand), we're able to offer for free to readers through the end of the month. (Paging Dr. Gupta)
What your baby's name says about you
Naming your kid is one of the hardest parts of starting a family, fraught with arguments, opinions and bad choices. You need to make sure your child's name is something unique but not too weird, easily rolls off the tongue, and most importantly, totally reflects the kind of parents you are. Here's a handy guide to what various children's names usually say about the parents who chose them. (CNN)
Congress Approves Child Nutrition Bill
Congress gave final approval on Thursday to a child nutrition bill that expands the school lunch program and sets new standards to improve the quality of school meals, with more fruits and vegetables. (New York Times)
