Pronounced: pro-CAR-buh-ZEEN
Classification: Alkylating Agent
Although its mechanism of action is unknown, Procarbazine is thought to exert its anti-cancer affect by a process called alkylation. Alkylation damages the DNA of cells, which prevents them from dividing, and causes them to die.
Procarbazine comes as a capsule to be taken by mouth. The dosage and schedule is determined by the person's size, type of cancer, and mode of administration.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Procarbazine. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4°), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If the count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Visit OncoLink's section on Nutrition for tips on dealing with this side effect. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
Read the mouth ulcer tip sheet for more information.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
This drug can affect your reproductive system, resulting in the menstrual cycle or sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. Women may experience menopausal effects including hot flashes and vaginal dryness – read more about coping with vaginal dryness. In addition, the desire for sex may decrease during treatment.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe your sperm is affected. You may want to consider sperm banking or egg harvesting if you may wish to have a child in the future. Discuss these options with your oncology team. See OncoLink's section on sexuality for helpful tips for dealing with these side effects.
Your hair may become thin, brittle, or may fall out. This typically begins two to three weeks after treatment starts. This hair loss can be all body hair, including pubic, underarm, legs/arms, eyelashes, and nose hairs. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun. Read more on alopecia.
There is a slight risk of developing leukemia or other type of cancer due to treatment with this medication. This is most often associated with repeated treatments or high doses.
Some less common side effects that have been reported include:

GREENVILLE Authorities say two Greenville County deputies shot a man who refused to put down a gun while they investigated a complaint of loud music.
Investigators said the deputies were called to a bonfire south of Greenville around 12:15 a.m. Sunday. Authorities say as they questioned people at the party, a man went to his car and got a gun.
The deputies told investigators they ordered the man to drop the gun several times, and he refused, turning toward the officers.
Authorities say the deputies fired their guns, striking the man several times in the abdomen. He is expected to survive.
The deputies are on administrative duty while the State Law Enforcement Division investigates. The sheriffs office did not release the names of the officers or the wounded man.

Savings accounts and money market accounts are meant to hold your liquid assets, or funds that you expect to use within a year. You may think "If you've seen one high-yield savings account, you've seen them all" - but, actually, higher interest rates and certain features can make one account a better choice than another.
So we monitor the rates of more than 500 financial institutions (banks, credit unions, and savings and loan associations) and display the top 50 highest rates in the table below. These are weekly updates to help you find the best online high-yield savings account and money market account rates currently available.
Best high-interest savings and money market accounts
Finding the best savings rates is easy! Simply change the search criteria to look for the type of account you're interested in (either "Savings Accounts" or "Money Market Accounts"), select the amount you'd like to deposit, and click "Update." [Article continues below ...]
Online high-yield savings account and money market account rates
An online savings account is a helpful tool in your financial life. When you want to set up an emergency fund or other savings account for short-term liquidity, an online savings account usually offers higher interest rates than many brick-and-mortar banks. In addition, many consumers think online banking is much more convenient.
While money market accounts are similar to savings accounts, they used to earn higher interest rates and their restrictions were more stringent than they appear to be today. Our research is showing that, in some respects, the differences between the two types of accounts are blurring. In your search for the best money market account, you may find that interest rates are quite similar to savings account rates, and the minimum balance requirements and number of withdrawal transactions allowed may be on par with savings accounts these days as well. All of this underscores the need to personally investigate the specifics of any account you open.
Even though rates are low right now, they will eventually rise as the economy recovers. Regardless, it is important to develop the habit of saving. Keeping track of the latest interest rates is the research part of that habit, but the payoff is that the best interest rates and services can help you make the most of your savings in any economic environment.
When it comes time to research which online high-yield savings account or money market account is best for you, take a look at the information we consistently maintain on this page and bookmark it. Plan to come back frequently to check that your accounts are still performing the way you want them to in light of any new rates and terms being offered.
Comparing high-interest account features
An online savings account or money market account is a safe and convenient way to earn interest on funds that you may need easy access to, and either is a far better choice than simply keeping extra sums in cash or in a checking account. And with the advent of online banking, many accounts offer some pretty nifty bells and whistles. But each bank is different, and so it pays to shop for the best rates, the best service, and the best policies regarding their fees and services.
Banks are not required to be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), but most are FDIC-insured up to the legal limit of "$250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category."
Fee structure
Monthly maintenance fees, statement fees, and ATM charges are just a few of the ways banks charge for their services. Since these costs can quickly exceed the interest you earn in your account, it is very important to compare each bank's fee structure to find the most competitive terms.
Minimum deposit requirements
Banks may require that a certain amount of money be deposited when you first open a new savings account, but many now waive that requirement and allow you to fund your new account with whatever balance you choose. A minimum deposit requirement is more common with money market accounts, however.
Minimum balance requirements
Likewise, some banks require that you maintain a certain minimum balance in your account at all times in order to avoid paying their monthly maintenance fee.
Transaction limits
You can make up to six withdrawals or transfers without charge from your savings account during any statement cycle according to Regulation D of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 12, Part 204.
Even though many money market accounts allow check-writing privileges and debit-card transactions, Regulation D applies to this type of account as well.
Linking accounts
Many online banks make it easy to transfer money between your various accounts – even if they are with a different bank – which is especially convenient when you open your new online savings or money market account.
24-hour access
One of the best features of online accounts is that you can manage your money whenever you like – 24/7/365. You don't have to travel to a branch or wait for it to open.
Mobile banking apps
It is possible to do your banking from anywhere with some of the mobile banking applications available at an online bank as well. In addition, online banks invest heavily in making sure that every transaction is secure.
Featured bank offerings
It takes time to research banks, so here is a synopsis of what some of the major banks offer with a direct link to their individual website. That way you can easily learn more and open an account when you are ready.
GE Capital Bank's Online Savings Account offers a 1.05% Annual Percentage Yield or APY (rate as of August 3, 2015) with no minimum deposit to open and no transaction fees. GE Capital Bank also tied for "Best Savings Account" by Money Magazine in 2013. Interest is compounded daily, funds are accessible 24/7 online, and external accounts can be linked. Deposits are FDIC-insured.
Synchrony Bank's Optimizer Plus High-Yield Savings Account offers a 1.05% APY (rate as of August 3, 2015) and no monthly service charge with a minimum balance of $50. You can register up to ten external accounts to manage your balances electronically and deposits are FDIC-insured.
Barclays' Online Savings Account offers a 1.00% APY (rate as of August 3, 2015) with no minimum deposit to open and no monthly maintenance fees. Barclays also tied for "Best Savings Account" by Money Magazine in 2013. Interest is compounded daily, funds can be moved electronically to external accounts, and deposits are FDIC-insured. Barclays is a large bank that has been around for over 300 years and operates in 50 different countries.
Ally Bank's High-Interest Online Savings Account offers a 0.99% APY (rate as of August 3, 2015) with no minimum deposit to open and no monthly fees. Ally Bank won top honors in the MoneyRates survey of "Best Savings Accounts for 2014″ which recognizes banks that consistently offer high rates over an entire year. In addition, it was also rated the "Best Online Bank" by Money Magazine in both 2012 and 2013. The bank's other consumer-friendly policies include daily compounded interest, 24/7 customer service, and no charges for ATMs. (Ally actually reimburses ATM fees charged by other U.S. banks at the end of each statement cycle.) They also have an award-winning-mobile-banking application. Deposits are FDIC-insured.
The CIT Bank Savings Account offers 1.05% APY on deposits of $25,000 or above, so if you have a large balance, they are a good option to consider. Even if you don't have $25,000 or more to deposit, their 1.00% APY on deposits of $100 to $24,999 (rate as of August 3, 2015) is still very competitive. They have no monthly fees. Interest is compounded daily. CIT Bank's online savings accounts offer 24/7 access via the Internet, online statements, and linking to external accounts. CIT Bank was founded in 1908 by Henry Ittleson to provide financing for businesses. Throughout the 20th century, CIT expanded its product lines (including CDs, IRAs, and custodial accounts) to consumers and many business sectors and small businesses. Deposits are FDIC-insured.
We would like to find the best possible savings account rates and money market account rates to share with the readers of Get Rich Slowly. Do your homework and choose an online savings or money market account that works for you, and then share that knowledge with others in the comments.
Do you use an online bank for savings? Have you been able to find savings or money market account rates that are even better than what we have listed here? If so, please let us know. Don't forget to include all the details: name of the bank, state, rate, when you opened this account with this rate and whether you can open an account online or have to go to a branch in person.
GRS is committed to helping our readers save and achieve their financial goals. Savings interest rates may be low, but that is all the more reason to shop for the best rate. Find the highest savings interest rates and CD rates from Synchrony Bank, Ally Bank, GE Capital Bank, and more.

It's the end of a busy day for bookstore owner Mark. He's about to close up and Macauley's the last customer left in the shop. Mark's watching Macauley on the security system, thinking how cute he is and how he'd like to bury his tongue right between those tight little buns, when he sees him slip a book inside his jacket. The guy's stealing from him! What's he going to do? Call the cops and waste another hour waiting for them to arrive? Mark has a better plan. Locking the guy inside the store, he confronts him with the evidence, then makes him pay for his crime in sweat and spunk. Mark helps himself to everything Macauley has, taking his hot hard cock in every position he knows and he doesn't let go until he's drained every last drop of cum from him. There's some hard pounding in the hardback section, slurping and sucking in biographies, swallowing in the cookery aisle - and it's all caught by the security cameras, so he can play it back the next day!

Berkeley County School District educators have the opportunity to positively impact students every day, and according to a recent report it appears that is exactly what they are doing.
Superintendent Rodney Thompson delivered the 2013 Report to the Community at the regularly scheduled Feb. 26 school board meeting in Moncks Corner.
Thompson discussed various test scores, which have improved in many areas, and reviewed goals and projected growth in the coming years.
He said goals include having a positive school climate, high student performance, community engagement, strategic human resources managed, fiscal responsibility and effective communication.
The district grew by 939 students this year and is expected to grow by 15,000 students in the next 18 years, Thompson said. Five new schools are planned for the coming years as part of a $198 million bond referendum.
According to Thompson, the new schools are set to utilize the same cost-effective strategy that went into building Cane Bay Middle School, the district's newest school which opened in August. The other new schools are expected to be built between 2014 and 2019, according to the presentation.
The superintendent highlighted the district's "A" rating on the state and federal accountability tests.
Thompson discussed the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test results, in which county schools appeared to do well.
"We're above the national average for grades 2 through 8," Thompson said. "We have come a long way in reading. We are pleased with our math MAP scores but understand there is a need for improving, especially in the middle grades.
"The true results will come over the next five years as the graduation rate improves.
"We're pleased with our reading results but will have to improve one grade level more. We need to replicate what is working and eliminate what is not a bang for our bucks.
"Before third grade our students are learning to read. After third grade they read to learn."
Thompson also pointed out the district received the highest possible rating on its recent financial audit.
In the past year the district has sent 10,341 parent notification messages, launched 31 school Facebook pages, sent four e-newsletters, and held six district development training sessions, according to the presentation.
Expectations in the coming year are to keep students safe, establish long-term goals that support academics, the arts and athletic excellence for students, renovate schools, lead classroom technology implementation, support staff with professional development and several other goals.

Aunty Mavis
A guide to social etiquette and life's mysteries for the cosmopolitan, well educated and occasionally confused.
Dear Aunty Mavis,
At the traffic lights I am happy to part with a little loose change, but I really object to being disturbed while I am eating. On the other hand I realize that guitar men and transvestites have not been blessed with a fortunate life like us readers of your newspaper.
So my normal response of telling them to piss off is probably not appropriate. How should I handle these interruptions more elegantly?
Outdoor Eater
Dear Outdoor Eater,
Presumably you mean when you are eating at a food stall and a guitar man or a transvestite dancer comes by and performs in front of you hoping for a donation rather than you are eating in your car at a traffic light. One should never eat in a motor car. It's vulgar.
Drinking is permissible: cocoa from a thermos flask or champagne from the in-car wine cooler, but never food. Eating in a motor car is on the same low level of vulgarity as using a mobile phone or any electronic gadget in a restaurant. Or in the chamber of the House of Representatives.
Eating is a serious business and requires an attentive mind and attitude. Like you, I do not care to be disturbed while dining, just as I don't like to be disturbed when I am listening to Opera, making love or painting my toe nails. However, the laws of hospitality overrule personal comfort and convenience, especially when it is possible that an unexpected guest, even an unwelcome guest, may be a heaven sent opportunity to entertain an angel unaware.
If I may be brutally frank, you sound like you would like to be a charitable person. But know at present you are not because you recognize you have a grudging spirit and think you are superior to these people. I guess it depends what you consider to be the criteria for "a fortunate life" as compared to others. Surely not the amount one has in the bank? Why many of the rich people in this country are very 'poor' specimens of humanity indeed.
Besides you seem to give with a grudging spirit – a "small change" mentality. So long as it doesn't really cost you anything or dig deep into your pockets.
I suggest you keep your money – small change and all – until you have found the freedom to be really generous – for generosity's sake – and not in any way to make you feel good about yourself.
Perhaps it is opportune to recall – while the President is in England – an English story. Some years ago, that darling saint Mother Teresa was in London and asked a British politician who managed charitable funds if he would give her $2 million so she could build a refuge for drug addicts and prostitutes who wanted to change their lives.
The politician made all sorts of excuses why he didn't want to give her the money but finally gave in and grudgingly said, "Oh, alright. I'll let you have what you want."
A week later Mother Teresa got the cheque. Then she said to one of her nuns, "Send it back to him. We won't accept this money. It was not given with love." And they sent it back.
A few days later someone she didn't know, completely unconnected with the British government, who knew nothing of her plans sent her $2 million.
The moral of the story? Good things are achieved only with love.
I don't want to be too harsh on you because I feel your heart is in the right place – it's just not pure and sensitive enough yet. And we are all like that. But your heart is telling you it wants to be pure and loving. Perhaps that will happen when you realize, that despite whatever we have in the bank or whatever car we drive or where we live or what we own, we are all beggars.
Because everything in life is a gift. Everything we have is ultimately given to us. Why, even our own lives are a gift. Only a fool – and there are a lot of them around in this country – believes he or she has what they own because they have earned it or stolen it, as is often the case here. It is only when we recognize that whatever we have it is a gift that we can then sincerely and generously share what we have with others.
You and I can't change poverty in Indonesia. But we can be instruments of change by changing our attitudes. And the first thing many of us have to change is the attitude that mistakenly allows us to think for even a second that we are superior – to anyone.
Next time a beggar comes to you when you are eating – instead of saying "piss off," why not say, "Brother/Sister, would you like to sit beside me and share my meal?"
If you wish your response to be elegant you need to realize that a request for help is not an "interruption" but an opportunity for you to become more yourself. And we become fully human the more we reach out to others.
Yes I know there are a lot of fraud beggars out there and that sometimes it is a rip off. But how many times a day or a week are you seriously asked for help? Probably not enough to lump all these unfortunate people into the same category.
Any opportunity any of us has for treating another human being with compassion and respect is to be valued. Even if all we have to give is a kind word said respectfully.
I think you are a good person, otherwise you wouldn't have worried about this matter.
I hope you become a great person. You'll need beggars to help you become so. You see, they are a gift to us. They are the ones who enrich us in the deepest sense.

Sarah Stevens reacted to Elkin's first known one-pot meth arrest by saying meth is a "tragedy" and an "epidemic in our society."
"It will permeate many areas of our life in the future. We can only begin to estimate the impact," she said.
Last week, and in a joint effort with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and the Yadkin County Sheriff's Office, the Elkin Police Department charged Jeffery Dewayne Cheek, 35, with manufacturing methamphetamine and possession of precursors.
Cheek was arrested at 339 Bridge St., where police say he operated a meth lab.
Neighbors on the street were stunned at the news.
"Where else can this happen at?" asked Jane Smith of Elkin. "I guess you never know what your neighbors are doing, but when one puts you in danger, that's a problem."
According to residents at 339 Bridge St. children were living directly above the location that was used for allegedly producing meth.
"We have to do something to protect the children," said a resident at 339 Bridge St.
"Children are afflicted just by being in the house where it is cooked or used," said Stevens. "The walls of homes where arrest have been made still show residue after treatment."
House Bill 29 co-authored by Stevens would stiffen the penalties for people producing meth, especially near children.
Stevens said the National Clandestine Labs website shows homes where there have been meth raids and residue remains. It lists some in Surry County.
"These are only the known labs. How many are unknown?" said Stevens.
According to Stevens, meth operations are not limited to inside the walls of rural communities.
"There also has been a problem that meth labs have been discovered in hotel rooms. There is a requirement that the facility needs to be cleaned but no required followup or allowed levels of contamination.," she said.
Busts of meth labs in North Carolina reached a new high in 2012. State Bureau of Investigation agents responded to 460 meth labs in 2012, compared to 344 meth labs in 2011 and 235 labs in 2010. Agents have busted more than 70 labs statewide so far in 2013.
When questioned about resources dedicated to Surry, a spokesperson for Attorney General Roy Cooper said added funding to hire additional agents may be necessary to combat the crisis.
Approximately 73 percent of the meth labs busted in North Carolina last year used the "one pot" method, which uses a small amount of pseudoephedrine to cook meth in a plastic soda bottle.
Surry County recorded a 400% increase in meth arrests for 2012, SBI records show.

"A progressive Europe—the Europe of sustainable growth and social cohesion—would be one thing. The gridlocked, reactionary, petty, and vicious Europe that actually exists is another. It cannot and should not last for very long."

A case study was published about a man who has consumed 40,000 pills of ecstasy, a new world record. The man suffers from memory problems, paranoia, hallucinations, and depression, as well as painful muscle rigidity that keeps him from opening his mouth.
Hackers breached Ashley Madison, a website that facilitates extramarital relationships, compromising the private information of millions of users. "This could be a boon," said one lawyer, "for divorce attorneys."

UVM receives record number of applicationsThe Associated Press | May 12,2013BURLINGTON The University of Vermont says it received a record number of undergraduate applications 22,378 for fall enrollment this year.
That beat the record 22,365 for the fall of 2009.
Of this years applicants, 17,304 were accepted. Thats about 77 percent, which is roughly the same percentage as last year.
UVM administrators have said they want the percentage to drop to about 60 percent over the next few years, increasing the schools selectivity.
We have just embarked on our strategy to increase selectivity so we didnt expect any real difference this year, said Christopher Lucier, vice president for enrollment management at UVM.
We are confident that the pieces we are putting into place to expand recruiting and marketing will achieve our strategic goals over the next four to five fiscal years, he said.
The states most selective school, Middlebury College, has accepted 19.5 percent of its 8,913 applicants.
A total of 2,144 Vermonters applied to UVM and 1,562, or 73 percent, were accepted.
May 1 is the deadline for students who have gotten in to commit to the school they plan to attend. The target for UVMs entering class is 2,425. Middleburys is 700.
By May 1, UVM had received 2,657 deposits from incoming students, including 627 Vermonters. Middlebury had received 715, including 41 Vermonters.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

Our top story, the population of parasitic tree lizards has exploded, and local citizens couldn't be happier! It seems the rapacious reptiles have developed a taste for the common pigeon, also known as the 'feathered rat', or the 'gutter bird'. For the first time, citizens need not fear harassment by flocks of chattering disease-bags.
Later, Bart receives an award from Mayor Quimby outside the town hall. Several lizards slink past.
For decimating our pigeon population, and making Springfield a less oppressive place to while away our worthless lives, I present you with this scented candle.
Skinner talks to Lisa.
Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.
But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
But aren't the snakes even worse?
Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
But then we're stuck with gorillas!
No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
The game has passed the Godzilla Threshold:
Godzilla Threshold
There is wisdom in facing a threat with a proportionate response. Sure, There Is No Kill Like Overkill, but it'll likely cause a lot of avoidable collateral damage, and it'll guarantee that tomorrow the next threat is stronger. But there are times when the threat is so great and things have gone so horribly wrong that there is no appropriate response. The situation is so dire that it justifies the use of any and every thing that might solve it, no matter how crazy, nonsensical, or horrific, regardless of cost or collateral damage.
Things are at the point where even summoning Godzilla, king of monsters and patron saint of collateral damage, could not possibly make the crisis any worse. The situation has crossed the Godzilla Threshold.
This is where experience comes in; veteran gamers know that this is where you have to get sneaky. Newbies usually wind up casting Summon Bigger Fish:
Summon Bigger Fish
Of course there is Always a Bigger Fish, but sometimes they aren't willing to just pop up out of nowhere and get you out of the current mess. That's where this trope comes in. Summon Bigger Fish is when you get another monster/god/whatever to fight the current one, and hope once the smoke is cleared the one you just called will leave you alone, or at least be weakened enough by the fight to be taken out with less insane tactics. Sadly, the odds that doing this only makes things worse is actually almost 50/50— Evil Is Not a Toy, after all— but then again, once you've crossed the Godzilla Threshold, anything is a viable option.
This had been escalating prior to the existence of ECM, certainly, but that is when it passed the Godzilla Threshold.
There is a reason these are called, "tropes;" they are the stereotypical common mistakes that lead to situational comedy. Is this supposed to be the first Massively-Multiplayer Online Sit-Com?
This is why no one agrees on what they think should be fixed, but everyone thinks it's broken, now.
*The best part is that it explains the existence of Jar-Jar Binks and Queen Amidala as due to being forced to roleplay with an 8-year-old girl
The problem is that it inevitably leads to...
P.S. The devs at Piranha know about this; they have to. Unless someone wants to argue that they haven't been on the Internet or watched TV in 20 years, in which case, WTF are they doing making a video game?! And why would they have hidden the thread, otherwise? They know it, they just don't want to do anything about it.
P.S.S. It just occurred to me that MWO could also be explained by PGI being forced to play with 8-year-old girls (and apparently forced to alter the game to her whims, too).

I'd like to see you try. I really do.
Still i am very curious as to what your original point was. I guess it have something to do with ECM in one way or the other. That is after all what it usually is.
When do the good fight turn bad, Smedley is a good example.
This have been a good conversation
Not so much about ECM in particular as about how PGI keeps over-correcting; they screwed up armor, so they changed the weapon specs, which wound up making missiles too powerful, so they implemented ECM, which didn't fix the problem but causes all sorts of other headaches, and now we are getting new changes in response to ECM that, again, don't actually do anything about ECM but break other things.
And all the while the netcode/lagshield is as bad as ever, there is only one game mode and four maps, the game still crashes, missiles still go through stuff and hit you, don't even get me started on the heat mechanic.... why is no one working on these problems, but they have plenty of people to put out new hero mechs, change the IFF colors (which make friendlies almost impossible to see), and play with the interface?
The only thing that makes sense to me is that they are just milking it for whatever they can make before ditching the whole enterprise when their sheer inability to produce a finished product becomes apparent, which is fine with me as that might let someone else make a Mechwarrior game, and maybe they can do it right.

That, and underpowered SRMs, horrible visibility (and nobody give me crap about it being a simulator with 'realistic' cockpit views. That's just Piranha's excuse to sell useless cockpit bling. Even in the fiction MechWarriors have a 360 degree view of their surroundings), sluggish torso twist rates that make most 'Mechs-particularly the Hunchback, which is supposed to be an infighter-useless in close combat, a terrible grind, and just general clunkiness. Oh yeah, and the whole free-to-play mechanic. I can't wait for that trend to die along with 3D movies.
As to making a new MechWarrior game, I'd love to see it. But who could pull it off? Obviously Piranha is incapable of competently doing so, as we have all seen. Activision published MechWarrior 2, but they're...less than scrupulous now. Microprose, publisher of MechWarrior 3, is gone. You can't give it to Ubisoft because they'll find a way to screw it up somehow (probably DRM; just look at Silent Hunter 5). And don't even THINK about EA. Who would back an admittedly niche game like a MechWarrior 5?

SRM underpowered?
Slow Torsotwist rate?
Really - these Mechs be 25 to 100 tons, if anything they are much to agile!
The Vision is excellent - learn to use 1 of 3 Modes as there is allways one that fits the situation ("Heat Vision" is exceptional good for spotting enemys).
State Rewind is incoming and will fix the ping problematic.
The performance makes leaps forward with new drivers and game optimizing.
ECM is crap - everybody but one at PGI knows that - though it does not matter much as people tend to use direct fire no lock weapons anyway.
The new End of Round Screen is implemented, several weapons got more balance - the game gets better!

SRMs underpowered? Seriously YES. Tell my Hunchback SRM setup that does absolutely nothing and is the absolute biggest waste of time I have ever had the misfortune of trying to get to work that its Artemis-equipped SRM-6s are "the most devastating weapons in the game". Apparently it didn't get the memo.
The vision is not excellent. No. It is not. Read the fiction and you will come to realize this. When modern tank crews have better visibility than MechWarriors a MILLENIUM in the future, something is terribly, terribly wrong with your game.
I did not have to sacrifice precious tonnage and criticals upgrading my power plant so I could effectively use the weapons my 'Mech was designed to use at the ranges at which it was intended to use them in the previous MechWarrior titles. I should not have to here.
As for 'Mech agility...read the fiction. No, they aren't Gundam-esque, cartwheeling (okay, maybe in that one Dork Age novel, but that doesn't count) monstrosities that flaunt every single Newtonian law, but they aren't...this.
ECM speaks for itself and operates totally differently than in the fiction or previous MechWarrior titles and basically gives the operator a free LRM shield.
Honestly, one should be given a mandatory quiz on the fluff-both technology and universe lore-before one is allowed to download the client for this game and create an account, much less be a member of the development team.

Ah, well, to be fair, Artemis doesn't do much for SRMs unless you have 5 or 6 of them; that's the rub, only about 4 chassis' in the game can properly make use of them.
The vision... meh, if it were better, it would turn into a sniper-fest, and that would be as boring as the super-ECM brawlfest it is now.
Some of the previous MW games were more involved than others; I know for a fact that at least one of them made provision for XL engines, and all of them let you balance speed, armor, and firepower.
I think the agility issue would be mostly fixed by adding directional jump-jet keys and mechanics; let you use them just to shoot forward, sideways, or backwards, turn in midair, etc. That's what they were for, not pretending to be a piece of toast.
ECM is just stupid broken in MWO. I suggested that missile tracking be turned way down, NARC, TAG, and Artemis all make tracking better, and ECM only counters NARC, Artemis and BAP, but the devs apparently have a hard-on for this selectively jamming cloaking device and don't seem to have the foggiest clue how badly it is fucking up the game.
Personally, I think that the entire dev team (other than the art department!) should be fired and blacklisted from ever again working in any job related to programming, gaming, or higher brain function.

We have different oppinions about SRM and Vision - i am with you that the Mechs be to much Gundam agile and that ECM is crap.
The Hunchback (the Dual SRM6 model) is one of the best Medium Mechs ingame.
With heat vision you can see at 3 maps of 4 the most far mechs in your field of view in bright blue colours against a dark blue background.

Again, tell that to my Hunchback. Apparently it didn't get the memo as it does no such damage.
'Mechs are not agile enough. Turning rates and torso twist rates need to be higher as they were in MW2 and 3, the closest things to tabletop we have so far. For something that's being stabilized by my brainwaves, through a neurohelmet, a BattleMech in MWO is far more sluggish than it should by rights be.
Heat vision is still limited by the absolutely oppressive cockpit views that MechWarriors in the fiction are not hindered by as they have a digital 360-degree view of their surroundings. Thus they do not easily get hung up on buildings or other obstructions they cannot see, nor can players in MW2 and 3 or even 4 with the myriad oddities of its physics engine. Such is not the case in MWO. If Piranha truly cared about staying true to the source material (as they claim) they would rectify this issue by allowing the same third-person views that every previous title incorporated, which would not sacrifice any sort of faithfulness to canon as it would not really allow you to see anything a canon MechWarrior cannot with his/her 360-degree view, apart from their own 'Mech of course.
All of this matters not, however, as I have uninstalled this pathetic excuse for a MechWarrior game and have no plans to reinstall it in the foreseeable future. I can thank my lucky stars that I managed to resist the temptation and didn't go out and buy a founder's package or whatever they called it before I even tried this game. What a waste of money that would have been. I just wish there was a way for Piranha to refund me my time and emotional distress at seeing the BattleTech franchise further brought low by corporate idiocy and a general unwillingness on the part of the development team to read a blasted book.
I'll be sticking to the Classics on my old XP laptop, thank you very much.

These people should never be allowed to have jobs in this industry again.

This year's STAR Student is Megan Mullikin, and she chose JCHS English teacher Kirstie Knighton as her STAR teacher. Knighton has been a teacher for 18 years.
The March 11 meeting began with a meal and then the honorees were introduced by JCHS principal Chuck Gibson, who is also a Kiwanian.
Mullikin is a senior at JCHS, and Gibson noted some of Mullikin's activities in his introduction, which include 4-H, Beta Club, Future Business Leaders of America, art club, book club, math team, prom committee, the JCHS Marching Band, where she plays the flute, chorus, JOCO Film Festival, first in the state in Young Authors contest, and she volunteers at her church.
The senior has been on the honor roll every year of her school career and is an honor graduate.
"While doing all of this, she still carries a 99.86 GPA, very impressive," Gibson said.

A new sandwich shop is coming to Aiken thanks to a former NFL player who hails from this area.
Troy "Wide-Open" Williamson, who played for the Minnesota Vikings and the Jacksonville Jaguars, is opening a Which Wich in Aiken at the Shoppes at Brookhaven off Whiskey Road.
Williamson, now residing in Evans, Ga., grew up in Jackson and graduated from Silver Bluff High School in 2002, which was the same year he was named the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce's Youth of the Year. He later attended USC Columbia on a full athletic scholarship.
Williamson said he considered investing in a restaurant franchise for some time and wanted to bring something different to Aiken. He said he ate at a Which Wich in Atlanta and knew he found the unique eatery for which he had been searching.
"I was looking for something new – up and coming," Williamson said.
Which Wich offers a wide variety of sandwiches. According to its website, customers pick the type of sandwich they want and grab a bag on which they mark the different fixings they want with a red Sharpie. Chips, cookies and milkshakes are also on the menu.
Williamson said the restaurant is tentatively scheduled to open on Aug. 12. He said he's happy to bring a few jobs to the area and bring Aiken a sandwich shop that offers quality food and service.
"I am very excited," Williamson said. "We're putting in the work now, and it's in a great location. Everything is coming together. It should be a good experience."
Williamson added that he hopes to open another Which Wich in Aiken on the Northside near Aiken Regional Medical Centers.
A Which Wich restaurant recently opened in Augusta.

I have to totally agree, I recently received a iphone as a gift, and since I am on T-Mobile was forced to jailbreak. I have been a loyal Palm user and jailbreaking on the iphone is so stable and opens up so many possibilities, that I dont know why anyone would use a stock iphone!!!
Take the plunge!!!!
The Case for Jailbreaking - Wait-a-Thon
A lot of people look at the iPhone, in its current iteration, and complain that while it looks good, it lacks customization and is in dire need of native applications. And there's a lot of truth to that, Apple has restricted much of the features on the iPhone and has limited what you can and cannot do. As much as it falls in line with keeping the user interface clear and intuitive, making users become passive to development prevents Apple from fully realizing the iPhone's potential.
You want to run 3rd party apps? Safari and Web Apps is the only 'official' way. Granted that Web Apps have come a long way, it doesn't give justice to the true power of the iPhone as much as it shows off the versatility of Safari.
Currently, the only answer to this dilemma is jailbreaking. After having mulled the jailbreaking option a few times before, I made the switch only a couple months ago. And my, if you want to get a true glimpse of what the iPhone can do, Jailbreaking is currently the only way to go. In this article, I'll show you why you should strongly consider jailbreaking and what it offers for iPhone users.
Read On For The Reasons to Jailbreak!
It's Easy
Previous jailbreaking options left the users with complicated options, you could either rig your iPhone in terminal or jump through a bunch of hoops to reach the desired jailbreak. Though 'bricking' your iPhone used to be an issue, current jailbreaking programs almost eliminate that pitfall completely.
With jailbreaking programs like iLiberty+ and ZiPhone*, the process is essentially invisible. You connect the iPhone to your Computer (Mac+PC) and then run the program ZiPhone and it does all the tasks it needs to do behind the scenes. Well a lot of script is run on the iPhone's screen but other than that, it's as hands off as syncing your iPhone to iTunes. After a few clicks, you are ready to roll worry-free and don't have to jailbreak again.
After running iLiberty+ or ZiPhone, the Insaller.app is brought to your Home Screen and that is where the beauty of jailbreaking lies. As mentioned before, the Installer.app is as polished a program as any on the iPhone and you are a mere few clicks away from natively running any third party app imaginable.
If you do happen to run into issues, a quick restore should do the trick. And when 2.0 is released, the jailbreakers will already be prepared. You can access the updates and sync your iPhone with no hitches.
It's Much More Powerful
The community nature of Installer.app allows an advantage that other phone 'stores' simply cannot offer. Any and every app is essentially available through the outlet of Installer.app and the apps are constantly being updated and getting better (not to even mention the improvements of Installer.app itself). Unlike 3rd party apps for other phones where there are a gluttony of choices on how to install, everything in Installer.app is seamless and typically, error-free. Search for a program in Installer.app's integrated search and immediately install the program. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
With jailbreaking, anything in your wildest dreams is theoretically possible. Do you want to make your iPhone into a graphing calculator? There's iPlot. You want to have a 'today' screen that notifies you of appointments, emails and messages akin to something from WinMob and Blackberry? Well, there's an app for that too. Even enhancing existing features on the iPhone such as the camera is possible. Snapture and Camera Pro add features such as digital zoom and a camera timer, among others.
It's Fun
Sure, apps like Pocket Guitar and Drummer don't do much other than give you an excuse to start an iBand. In fact even one of my favorite apps, Sketches, is theoretically a gimmick program that lets you draw chicken scratch on photos. But claiming that it doesn't increase the fun-factor of the iPhone by about a billion is short sighted.
There are games that the Web Apps try to emulate, but simply cannot be matched without jailbreaking. iPhysics is a great platform that serves as a blackboard for developers, there is an endless supply of level packs to ensure you'll never get bored. You get to take advantage of multi-touch and the accelerometer to beat the game. Also, emulators for the NES and GBA are also available, sure you won't break any records, but quickly firing up Super Mario while you wait for an appointment is a great way to pass the time.
What's better is that almost all the programs I've used are free! Installer.app is a community that wishes to unleash the capabilities of the iPhone without charging you a dime. So the arguments against jailbreaking are dwindling—it increases the power, adds fun-factor, and is free!
It Prepares You For 2.0
One of the best aspects of jailbreaking the iPhone is that it gives you a crystal ball to see what apps could possibly be available in the upcoming App Store. Many of the developers who develop jailbroken programs are also planning to release programs in 2.0. So becoming familiar with programs in the jailbroken iPhone gives you the framework for learning what to expect in 2.0.
Jailbreaking also gives you a great look at what the iPhone can do. It makes your iPhone even more than the versatile device it already is, it offers a platform where developers can truly go wild over. Like I mentioned before, the world is truly your oyster—what you want, you can probably always get.
Final Thoughts
To fully take advantage and enhance the iPhone's features, jailbreaking is a no brainer. Personally, I can no longer imagine using a non-jailbroken iPhone. Even when 2.0 and the App Store is released to the public, I'll still be excited to see what the community of jailbreakers can offer me. Sure, Apple-approved apps are going to be fun to use but for everything Apple doesn't want you to do, jailbreaking offers you the key.
The best analogy I can offer is that jailbreaking an iPhone is like completing a full course meal. The iPhone is a great dish in itself, but jailbreaking adds appetizers, desserts, sides, and a fine brew to make the dinner even more delicious. The iPhone is a great little device without jailbreaking, and I won't deter you from keeping it the way Apple envisioned. But if you demand more from your devices, jailbreaking is the best option that offers much too many benefits without any obvious harm.
Hopefully you'll consider the jailbreak option because here at TiPb we'll constantly give you updates on the jailbreaking scene and continue to offer you guys weekly jailbreak app reviews even after the 2.0 update. Stay tuned to jailbreaking because when the update is finally released, it'll demand the jailbreaking community to step it up another notch. We're excited to see what's in store.

*After initially recommending ZiPhone for our iPhone jailbreaks we are now supporting the use of iLiberty+. One of our astute readers, Bad Ash, has shown that while ZiPhone is the easiest way, iLiberty+ is the safer route to jailbreak and nearly foolproof. It uses a more sophisticated jailbreaking process that while takes a bit longer, is most certainly worth it in the end.

The Case for Jailbreaking - Wait-a-Thon
I have to totally agree, I recently received a iphone as a gift, and since I am on T-Mobile was forced to jailbreak. I have been a loyal Palm user and jailbreaking on the iphone is so stable and opens up so many possibilities, that I dont know why anyone would use a stock iphone!!!
I've been too lazy and admittedly too chicken to jailbreak before now. Plus I've been plenty pleased with the stock iPhone. Often I think to myself: "If I want to dick around hacking and installing apps on a smartphone, I'll just fire up one of my many Windows Mobile devices." But your article has me reconsidering now that Jailbreaking is simpler and safer than it originally was. Hmmm...
AVOID ZIPONE... Worst advice for someone who wants to JB is to tell them to use Ziphone! Ziphone can and will make changes to your phone that can not be changed back. At least at the moment. People interested in JB'ing should look elsewhere. ILiberty+ is very reliable among others.
Is Jailbreaking totally reversable? I don't want to JB my phone and then have Apple release an update that requires a completely virgin phone due to their dislike of JB, only to get bricked. It's very tempting as I've put custom firmware on my PSP; so I'm well aware of the advantages of the open software community. Can someone atest to the safety of JB'ing one's iPhone?
It's safe, all it takes to get back to normal is a simple restore. But you can not restore from a backup file. Restore from scratch. And DON'T use Ziphone... Trust me on that one. Ziphone can make changes to the phone that will not go away from a restore.
I'm waiting for the next gen iPhone before switching from WimMob. Hopefully, with the 2.0 software, jailbreaking won't be the necessity that it currently is in order to unlock iPhone's full potential.
If I had an original iPhone I would be jailbreaking it. I have a question though, once an iPhone has been jb'ed, can it be put back? Will a restore do that? Or is this a permanent change? I'll be getting the new iPhone when it becomes available. I'm going to take a look at what is available as far as apps on the AppStore and apps from the hackers and I'll decide then if I need to jailbreak.
@Matt Muelver
See my post above Steve's post regarding restoring.
I've also been too chicken to jailbreak my iphone. At the price I paid for it, I can't afford to turn it into a brick but I'm more inclined to do that now that the new 3G iphone is in the wings. Also waiting for the killer app that I MUST have, before jailbreaking.
i haven't jailbroken my iPhone yet because i'm just too scared to brick it. Any word on whether Apple's gonna "punish" everyone in June. As an aside, Apple should never be forgiven for bricking people in the first place. If I own the phone I should be able to do whatever I want.
I'm always a bit scared of bricking a device I just paid crazy money for. So far though, when I have, no problems!
What are some of the apps that Jailbreakers out there can't live without?
yeah, im definitely considering screwing with mine under warranty for a new one.
@ Bad Ash
From my understanding, I thought ZiPhone only affects the bootloader when you 'unlock' and not 'jailbreak'. Either way, I will add an addendum to the article to clarify. I just tried iLiberty+ and that too, is a great piece of software for both jailbreakers+unlockers alike. iLiberty+ has a bit more of a sophisticated jailbreaking process to avoid the BL issue. Feel free to correct me if I am getting bad information though. The clearer for our readers the better!
But i assume when 2.0 comes out, we'll all be using the Pwnage tool?
Sadly, this is the only way to fully take advantage of what the iPhone is capable of. The only downside I'd be worried about is having an ibrick. My future phone will be an iPhone (currently have a BB Curve) and will think about Jailbreaking.
I think the safest way to JB is to use PwnageTool_1.1 (on Mac) or WinPwn (in Windows). Also, its play on the boot only!!
I did a jailbreak about a month ago, and do not regret it a single bit. I don't see much of a downside, esp. with the new model just around the corner.
Yeah, I'm too chicken to mess with that! Is it reversible?
Oops- just saw the post re: restore. Hmmm... makes me feel a little better about it... didn't even know "jailbreaking" was an option!
@Casey Chan
You are correct when you say that the bootloader is effected only when you unock but some have repoted Ziphones to mess with it while doing a simple jailbreak. Also for unlockers iLiberty downgrades the bootloader but it can also change it back. With Ziphone you can not go back... again that is now. Tomorrow it may be different.
No matter what though, there is always a chance of bricking your iphone.
There is always the chance that the next update will brick your phone and although I took that risk once I'm not sure I want to take that again. On the other hand if for some reason the apps that make it to the app store don't make my day, I may just have to venture down that road again. So for now it's a wait and see situation.
I just don't have the $$ to worry about possibly bricking a $400 phone. The rumor's/thoughts that ATT will be able to discount the 3G phone is good!
I'm going to wait for the official apps. I've been waiting for 10 months, no need to rush out and jailbreak now.
All this AND a bag o' chips? I'll wait. Thank you very much.
Why does Candice have an iphone? Seriously, does she deserve one, Casey? Does she? I think you should get her one of those old samsung bricks... Much better.
2 things who should i use to jailbreak my iphone , i have t-mobile service. And can i change it back if i want ??? please help
I'm wondering a couple of things: Will I still be able to use I-Tunes after I jailbreak my new iphone 16gig 3g that has software version 2.0.1 on it? Will my phone try to update when an update comes out without my approval? Do I have to stay away from all future phone updates? If an update comes out that I need for my phone, can I reverse my jailbreak, get the update, then JB it again? If I JB it now, how could it possibly brick?
I was wondering if there is any downside to breaking an iPhone if I have 2.0 and AT&T. Will I lose all the applications I have now from the app store? Can I still get them if I'm using installer?
I like the helpful information you provide in your articles. I will bookmark your blog and check again here regularly. One more thing, welcome visit my live cameras website:inurl /view/index.shtml

Google Chrome is the only popular browser that doesn't have native support for feeds: it doesn't detect or preview feeds and it doesn't let you subscribe to feeds using your favorite feed reader. Most of these features are available in Firefox, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, but they're implemented in Chrome using an extension.
Chrome's RSS subscription extension was supposed to be bundled with the browser, but it was no longer included because not many people subscribe to feeds and the orange icon would've been distracting. A Google Chrome engineer offered a more detailed explanation:
"We originally intended to include RSS support by default as a native feature of Google Chrome (and we still might in the future) but we decided instead to implement this as an extension. This decision was made based on our philosophy of trying to limit ourselves to adding only the UI features that a vast majority of users need and allow each user to customize the browsers to fit their needs with Extensions. Given that most people are not familiar with and don't consume RSS feeds, we thought that RSS support would be a better fit as an extension, at least to begin with."
Here's what you see when you click on a link to the Slashdot feed:
... and here's the same feed if you use the RSS subscription extension:
Maybe not all users know the definition of a feed, but not many people know what a browser is and that doesn't stop them from using a browser. Orange icons for feeds are everywhere and many sites display them prominently.
It's strange to see that Google Chrome doesn't have native support for feeds, while Google Reader is the most popular online feed reader, Google's FeedBurner is the most popular service for managing feeds, most Google search services have feeds for search results and even Chrome's blog links to an Atom feed.
What's even more surprising is that Chrome doesn't parse XML feeds to show a human-readable preview. Google Chrome doesn't even recommend users to install the RSS subscription extension.
If you'd like to see native support for feeds in Google Chrome, star this issue.

Trevor Bayne is ready to crack into the top-10 in Kentucky after three finishes on the cusp. In 2009, Bayne finished 12th, followed by 11th-place finishes in 2010 and 2011. Bayne is looking to continue the strong momentum he's been building since his sixth place finish in Charlotte. He followed up that performance with three top-five finishes including a win in Iowa, before a mechanical failure landed him low in the pack at Road America.
