CalWORKs: Eligibility
California's public cash assistance program is called the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids Program (CalWORKs).
CalWORKs applicants must meet state and federal regulation requirements to qualify for cash assistance. Needy caretaker relatives may also be eligible for benefits. Verification of the relation to the needy child will be required.
Non-citizens are subject to specific regulation requirements and may wish to inquire about potential eligibility to CalWORKs.
If a family provides all the necessary facts, eligibility should be determined within 45 days from the date of application.
Persons with drug related felony convictions since January 1, 1998 are not eligible for CalWORKs.
Eligibility Factors
The first component of cash aid eligibility is determining deprivation. Deprivation to a needy child is defined as one or more of the following:
- Continued absence of either or both parents.
- Disability of either or both parents.
- Death of either or both parents.
Unemployment of the Principal Earner, when both parents are in the home. The Principal Earner is the parent that has had the most earnings in the last 24-month period.
Once deprivation has been established, eligibility for CalWORKs is based upon additional criteria. This includes but is not limited to:
- Property
- Income
- Residency in California
- Age of the children
An applicant or participant must maintain residency in the state of California to be eligible to CalWORKs.
Age Requirements
Needy children from birth to age 18 may have potential eligibility to CalWORKs.
One exception to this rule is as follows:
- An 18-year-old that will graduate from high school prior to his/her 19th birthday will remain eligible through the month of graduation. Verification of graduation date is required.
Families receiving CalWORKs are required to submit documentation that all children have received age appropriate immunizations.
School Attendance
School verification is required to ensure that all school age children attend school regularly. If they do not, the family's cash assistance will be reduced.
Welfare-to-Work Requirements
All adult, able-bodied, CalWORKs participants are required to work and/or participate in welfare-to-work activities. Participants who choose not to comply with welfare-to-work requirements are not eligible for assistance.
CalWORKs offers a diversion program. The purpose of diversion is to assist with one-time specific, employment-related need. If a family were eligible, they would receive this payment as an alternative to ongoing monthly cash assistance.
All information that is provided by applicants or participants is computer matched with tax records, employment history, the Social Security Administration and any other pertinent agencies' records. Any discrepancies discovered in these facts will be investigated. County workers may do home visits at any time to verify reported information, including seeing each family member. Benefits may be denied or stopped if the family does not cooperate with county, state and federal personnel. Participants convicted of welfare fraud may be barred for life from receiving CalWORKs.

Liquor License Update: December 2013
Nude Dancing Nightclubs: ANC3B currently holds the position that nude dancing nightclubs are not appropriate in family-friendly neighborhoods like Glover Park. Both JP's and Good Guys were grandfathered in place in the early 1990s when the District enacted a moratorium on the issuance of nude dancing liquor licenses. The District now prohibits adult entertainment clubs from locating outside of the Central Business District and restricts locations to 500 feet from any residential building and at least 500 feet from any other similar establishment. JP's and Good Guys are the only two such places in Ward 3.
JP's: Five years after the January 2008 fire, JP's reopened last June under new ownership and with a new mode of operation, both of which ANC 3B has protested.
ANC3B believes the current ownership structure raises serious questions about who the actual owners are and whether the owners meet both the statutory intentions and standards that determine fitness for licensure. ANC 3B believes that the disruptive effects of a nude dancing establishment on the community can only be reduced by responsible and responsive management of good character. However, ABRA regulations do not permit ANCs or communities to weigh in on ownership transfer issues. ANC3B protested JP's license renewal this fall on the grounds of "fitness for licensure," which the ABC Board so far is unwilling to accept as legitimate grounds for protest. This matter is ongoing as of this update.
ANC3B also challenged JP's interior rebuild, which now includes alcoves and tabletop stages for the sale of private nude dances, claiming that JP's needed ABC Board permission for this substantial change in performance space and mode of operation. The Board finally agreed with the ANC and scheduled a hearing on the matter, barring JP's from using the private dance stages until the matter was resolved. JP's owners failed to appear at the hearing and the Board dismissed their application for substantial change. Until JP's applies again and receives Board permission, it cannot use the private alcoves or tabletop stages.
Good Guys: When ANC3B protested JP's renewal in 2011, the ABC Board acknowledged our concerns about the appropriateness of a nude dancing club in a family-centered neighborhood by prohibiting nude entertainment before 5 p.m. ANC3B has protested the renewal of Good Guys' nude dancing license on the grounds that if entertainment at JP's is not appropriate before 5 p.m., then it is not appropriate for the neighborhood from Good Guys either. A status hearing is scheduled on this protest for January 29, 2013; a full hearing is currently set for March 26, 2013.
Roof Decks: ANC3B's position on alcohol service on roof decks (and outdoor patios) is that the concerns of those residents living closest to an establishment seeking outdoor alcohol service are given great weight. Last year Mason Inn applied for permission to serve alcohol on its roof. ANC3B and a group of neighbors worked out a Settlement Agreement, in lieu of an ABC Board hearing, that allows Mason Inn to build a roof deck with caveats about hours of service and construction of sound-blocking walls. New owners at 2218 Wisconsin Avenue (formerly Town Hall, then Mayfair & Pine) will have the option of adding a roof deck, also with caveats about hours and walls, based on an ABC Board ruling from 2008.
Click here to see recent ANC3B Resolutions and ABC Board rulings.
ABC's and Liquor Licenses
Advisory Neighborhood Commissions were created to be the grassroots arm of the District of Columbia and as such the opinions and interests of ANCs are given "great weight" under the law by District agencies in making decisions that affect neighborhoods. "Great weight" means that a District agency must consider and respond to concerns voiced by an ANC, but does not necessarily have to agree with it or abide by the ANC's decisions.
One of the key areas in which ANCs are consulted is the issuing and renewing of liquor licenses. ANC3B regularly interacts with the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA) about the licensed establishments that do business in Glover Park. For more information about liquor licensing and ABRA, click here.
Liquor License Moratorium
Glover Park was first granted a moratorium on the issuing of liquor licenses by the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA) in 1996. The community requested the moratorium because one had just gone into effect in Georgetown and there was concern about a potential influx of bars and taverns in Glover Park as a result. Today moratoriums exist in Georgetown, Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle. The purpose of a moratorium is to help a community maintain an attractive balance of restaurants, retail, and services in its commercial district and to redress problems with peace, quiet, parking and litter that arise as a result of a concentration of ABC-licensed establishments
In 2001, the moratorium was renewed for three years, but it was opened up to allow Class DR licenses (restaurants offering only beer and wine only) to be issued without restriction. It was renewed again for three years as of April 2005 with no changes. In 2008, the ANC recommended, and in 2009 ABRA approved, renewing the moratorium for 3 more years and opening up 3 additional Class CR licenses (restaurants with full alcohol service – beer, wine and spirits). The ANC had hoped to attract new restaurants, but all three new CR licenses were taken by establishments currently operating in Glover Park. The Glover Park Liquor License Moratorium was extended for three years in April 2012, with the addition of two more restaurant licenses.
The following establishments in Glover Park have liquor licenses:
Class DR (restaurant serving beer and wine; unrestricted)
Café Romeo
Whole Foods Restaurant
Class CR (restaurant serving beer, wine, spirits; capped at 14)
Old Europe
Slate Wine Bar
Heritage India/Thai Bistro
Town Hall
Sprig and Sprout
Four licenses are currently not in use.
Class CN (nightclub; capped at 2)
Good Guys
Class CT (tavern, no food service requirement; capped at 1)
The Mason Inn
Class A (full service liquor stores)
Wide World of Wines

Sony aims to not make the same mistakes twice when it comes to the PlayStation. While we've been hearing that the Japanese electronics maker would be sticking with the PlayStation 3 for the foreseeable future with no plans for a new console, that is apparently no longer the case.
Gaming news site VG24/7 reports that sources say Sony is determined to get the PlayStation 4, codenamed "Orbis," out before the launch of Microsoft's next console, referred to as the Xbox 720. Rumors have suggested a late 2013 release for the 720, and Sony wants the PS4 out first.
Sony's hard lessons with the PS3
Do you blame them? The PS3 launch was a mess. While Sony came hot of out the gate at E3 2005 with a console that captivated everyone with its power and gameplay, those were the good 'ol days. A holiday season launch that year was not to be, and repeated delays pushed the launch back to November 2006.
This gave Microsoft a year head start. Frustrated game developers turned to Microsoft and Nintendo as a result of Sony's mistakes, and PlayStation exclusives like Final Fantasy were offered on rival consoles. Worse yet, Sony (and Microsoft for that matter) probably never factored in the surprising success of the Wii.
It was a perfect storm that nearly washed the PS3 away.
All these factors permanently damaged the sales potential of the PS3, something that has taken a half decade to recover from. While sales of the console now are nearly equal to the Xbox, it is still in third place. This is a far cry from the past where the PlayStation 2 crushed the competition, and had no trouble in attracting exclusive rights to the hottest game titles and franchises.
PlayStation Orbis: Sony's mea culpa?
Sony needs a home run with the PlayStation 4. From what's being rumored, it appears the company is fully aware of this fact. The device is said to move to the x86 platform, and will support games at a resolution of 4096×2160. This means the PS4 has the capability to do 3D games at 1080p, an improvement over the 720p supported by the PS3. The processor would jump from eight to 24 cores, so there's a heck of a lot of power inside this thing.
With gamers demanding more realistic games, it's only a natural progression for Sony and other manufacturers to pack more power into its consoles. Whether game developers will have the capability to take advantage of it right away is another story; many game developers still aren't using the current console to its maximum potential.
One thing that may disappoint gamers is Sony's apparent decision to take an aggressive stance against used games, akin to what Microsoft is expected to do in the next Xbox. Discs would be locked to the console once they are played. This will kill the massive used game business that GameStop and other retailers have built over the years, but on the other hand it puts more profits in the pockets of the developers.
Add all of this together, along with a maturing online gaming system (hopefully unhacked) in the PlayStation Network, and the PS4 could be exactly what the doctor ordered for Sony's video game business. Whether it will be able to compete with Microsoft's Windows 8/Windows Phone 8/Xbox 720 trifecta, though — all of which are rumored to have extensive cross-platform compatibility — remains to be seen.

Post a Comment
I don't really care whether or not the ps4 and xbox 720 are any good. I loved the old consoles, but am thinking of boycotting this round altogether. The reason being that i think its disgusting that they can lock a game to a console. I used to trade in my old master system and atari 2600 games, mega drive, ps1, ps2, xbox etc, i've done it for years. Once i've finished playing a game it usually becomes a paperweight.
I don't know if this will put more money in anybody's pocket. Some people trade in a few games just so they can afford the latest titles. Instead of paying £50, they pay £25 and give in a couple of used games. If they stop second hand game trading, then they may lose out on a few sales too.
Anyhow, the state of gaming these days depresses me. I hate over zealous copy protection, i hate having to pay £10 for a map pack every few weeks, just so that i can continue playing the same game as my friends, and now they're stopping us from selling something we've paid for!?
And let us not forget what a dodgy company Sony is these days – they sold ps3's with the capability to run linux, then just decided to take it away from all the customers who had already bought a ps3! I call that theft.
Sony, Microsoft, go $%^& yourselves. I make this simple promise – if you take away our right to sell something we've paid for, then i won't pay for any more games. I shall buy a modchip and just torrent anything i like. And i'll buy a second hand console too, then you get no money. That'll teach you for being greedy.
I'm with you on that. They are doing the same shit to us PC gamers.
Jonathan Bell
Sheesh! I totally agree!
I'm going to be so ticked off if they EVER even THINK of doing that with ANY PC games!
Doesn't Steam do that already? If you download it from Steam, you can't sell it afterwards can you? I don't use Steam for that very reason.
Scott Yates
A big difference is with steam though is that game is always yours to be downloaded and redownloaded. A far cry from a disk. I don't mind not being able to trade my game back steam affords me is the fact once you buy it you never have to worry about it being lost, stolen ( albeit a different story if your account is hacked) damaged. None of that is reguarded in this pathetic attempt to put more money in publishers ( I doubt this will result in developers of games seeing any more money)

Jonathan Bell

I'm going to be so ticked off if they EVER even THINK of doing that with ANY PC games!
Are console gamers still buying their games on physical disks? I'm a PC gamer, and it's been about four years since I last purchased a boxed game. I buy all of my games through digital distribution.
When the next generation of consoles comes out, I will consider them. But if they don't have a good digital distribution system, then I'm not interested.
Joseph Blasi
I don't you or more likely YOUR ISP will like people downloading Blu-ray sized games and the system will need a big HDD to fit a few 30GB sized games.
Well I downloaded RAGE, and the download was over 20GB. No big deal. It's not like I'm buying games every day. I would hope that the new consoles have at least a terabyte drive, but they could get by with less.
Are you really that out of touch that you didn't know consoles take discs?
No – I didn't ask whether the current generation of consoles could take discs. I was just curious about how commonly people were using them. I am out of touch about what's being offered on the consoles' online stores. I assume it's mostly just small indie-type games.
They sell loads of games in the online store, problem is having a big enough hdd to fit them all on. Shouldn't really be a problem nowadays, but the console hdd's are small and overpriced.
The other thing i don't like is that the games available in the online stores always seem to be full price, whereas you can often pick up a bargain at a game store. If anything, online stores should be a bit cheaper, as there's no manufacturing and distribution costs.
And of course, you can't sell your game once you've completed it. So you'll end up with a load of old games that you don't play anymore just sat around on your hard drive.
Well on Steam, games are generally full price when they are first released, but the prices eventually come down. And Steam often has sales where you can get big discounts on different games.
And you don't have to keep the game on your hard drive when you are finished with it. You could delete it, and it you ever want to play it again, just download it from Steam again for free.

Ok, so what if you buy a game, play it for a week and complete it? Then you just delete it and that's that. Lets take Mass Effect as an example, its the sort of game that you play through for the story, but once completed there's little replay value. Its a top title, so probably about £40 to £50 to buy. Are you happy with paying that, and then having no value once you've finished it.
What i usually do with games like that, is play them, complete them, then trade them in and get a decent amount back.
Don't get me wrong, i like the idea of digital downloads. I just don't like the money grabbing reasons the companies do it for. Its not to benefit us, thats for sure.
I do pay about $50 for a game, play it, finish it, and that's that. Sometimes I will keep playing a game after I finish it, but I don't consider "replay value" to be a definitive indicator of whether or not a game is good. If a developer makes a great game, I believe they should be rewarded for it so they will continue making great games. Game development is not cheap. If I buy a game and then trade it in, it could be traded through ten people and the developer earns no more than the initial sale. But with digital distribution, if I didn't want to pay the full $50, I could wait for the price to come down, and the developer still earns money from my purchase.
Remember the rental market is pretty big too, some single player games like Mass Effect will be rented out thousands of times. So the developers always get paid.
If you're happy with things, fair enough. I don't agree, but that's life. As a consumer i like choice. I don't like clutter, and i love value for money. So trading in a couple of old titles i never use and getting a chunk of money off the latest titles appeals to me.
I'll point out that i'd happily pay more for certain titles. I'm a big Halo, COD, Gears of War and Battlefield fan. I usually get these titles the day they come out, and have had literally thousands of hours of gameplay from these games. Great value for money, and they keep making them so they must be doing ok.
With Halo, when the DLC came out, you could either buy it now, or if you waited a few months they'd put it to free. That way, everyone was eventually playing the same maps. What a great idea. But with COD, you don't ever get the maps for free, and as such, you end up having to buy them just so that you can play the same maps with your friends. To me, that's just annoying. I'm not stingy with money, i just don't like being ripped off or forced into spending on something, and i don't like big greedy companies.
I have been very disappointed with other titles that i've bought in the past. Assassins Creed comes to mind – i don't know if you've played it, but i wasn't impressed with it. Press A to jump on the roof, press A to run across the roof, press A to go into a crowd, press A etc, it bored me to tears. I traded it in the same week and got a decent amount back. If i'd bought it from Steam, i'd be stuck with it. I suppose i could have tried the demo, but i was sold by the trailer and reviews.
Also, i'm not saying that replay value is all there is to a game. I played L.A Noire and loved the story, good game imo. 99% useless once completed. I also enjoyed Rage, but you can finish it in a week. That's a 20gb download as you pointed out, on my connection that would take hours. In the UK, the average ADSL connection isn't that great, we're lagging behind the world there. To put it bluntly, there is no way i would want to download a game the size of Rage. I use my internet constantly, and would have to suffer slow speeds while its downloading, this is also annoying.
Just out of interest, do you live on your own, or with a family? Not being nosey, just wondered if you have to share your connection with anyone. I imagine in a family home, someone downloading 20gb files would be impractical at times.
Anyhow, i've nothing against digital distribution, i think its a good thing. I have everything against being forced to use digital distribution. I don't like my choices being taken away, that's really all i'm getting at. I've been gaming since the 80's and love it, but some things seem to be changing for the worse. I'd like to see more of a happy medium, where people like you can have digital distribution, and people like me can buy the game from a shop and trade it in when finished.
Well I'm not arguing for the elimination of games on physical disks (though I wouldn't be bothered by it). I'm just arguing for the availability of all games through digital distribution.
For your curiosity about my Internet connection, I have a 12 megabit cable modem connection that's shared between several computers. You could have one download going or a few downloads going, and it doesn't make a very noticeable impact on the browsing ability of other computers. You can even still stream video (though HD video might not work very well). But a torrent download can cause noticeable slowness, especially if you don't cap its upload speed. When I downloaded RAGE through Steam, I did it in several hours one evening and it didn't cause any issues. But I suppose that for people who want to keep their Internet connection at its best performance, a handy feature for consoles would be the ability to queue downloads to take place overnight.
And I must say something about your mention of Assassin's Creed. I bought the original game back when it was released on Steam, and I also thought the gameplay was boring and repetitive. So when Assassin's Creed II was released, I wasn't interested. A year later (around the time Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood was released), I decided to finally try Assassin's Creed II since I could get it at a good discount on Steam. I played through Assassin's Creed II, then immediately purchased Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and played through it also. I've been gaming since the days of the NES, and the playthrough of those two games was one of my favorite experiences in all of gaming. They hugely improved the gameplay, and the story was just incredible. I think Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood was the pinnacle of the series, but I would strongly recommend playing Assassin's Creed II first. Assassin's Creed: Revelations was a great game as well, though not quite as much as Brotherhood.
I'd like to point out that you, in addition to many of the tech writers don't realize that one third of americans don't even have the option of getting broadband.
And then you have to consider that only 25% of the american population actually has regular access to broadband at home. (IE, the broadband is both available and purchased by someone in the household)
Although I fault tech writers on this myopic view more.
Just because someone lives in a rural area doesn't mean they don't like tech or video games.
On top of that, many people with "broadband" DSL or comcast have connections that are too inconsistent, too slow, or have data caps too low to realistically download their games.

Why would someone buy a digital game, whe he could get it boxed? I still like the idea of having my games on disc, and not registered with any distribution system, even on the PC. People that rely on digital game services are just idiots.

Sad to see that Sony is making the same mistake it made last time which is no carry over games. When this happened fromPS2 to PS3 that is what hurt sales the most people had lots of gmaes on their PS2 and could not play them on the PS3 so why replace the item if it stills works. I feel the same thing will happen again with this release, Sony has 2 options super cheap price for new console or allow another 5 years for people to need to replace their PS3. Dont get me wrong hard gamers like me will just go out and buy because we want and can but people on a budget or hoping mum and dad will get them one for Xmas will be the ones making the change over very slowly.
They did have a backwards compatible PS3. I bought one when they came out, but I believe that Sony quit manufacturing them pretty quick. They took the Linux capability from my console, but the ability to play ps2 titles is still there.

yeah they did that for the 40gigs for a short, short time :p

I bought my PS3 because I was TIRED of playing my PS2. To this day, I can't think of many games that I'd still like to have my PS2 or PS1 around to play, but the ones that I would are available already for download (ff7 and final fantasy tactics for instance) or have been re-released (the first 2 god of war games, shadow of the colossus). For other games that I loved to kill time on (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series for example), the modern-day equivalents are better by leaps and bounds.
SMH. 24 cores, and not the same mistake again? Game's still don't use dual or quad properly (more quad) and still aren't using current consoles? Come on, current consoles had some potention in 2007 NOW? Not so much… Go compare bf3 pc vs 360 if u think otherwise Come on ed…
That's another thing – how are these game developers going to keep up with the constant advancements in technology without either hiring more staff (which seems highly unlikely in today's economy) or invest in newer development equipment that speeds up the game making process (which of course has a learning curve to it).

The Wii proved that the gaming industry is not as reliant on power as previously thought. It has graphics that were barely an improvement over the gamecube but was more successful -by far- than either sony or microsoft. Despite nintendo's money-grabbing, the Wii was also the most reasonably priced. I eventually bought an xbox and am unimpressed. Shooters suck on a console and I don't know why there are so damn many ported to them.
I won't be buying either console as I know they'll be expensive as hell and not worth the money. Oh, not to mention that they make you pay for a network subscription which is -retarded-.
The PlayStation 4 rumors great and all, but i disagree with locking games to the system. This would affect Gamestop and other use retailers (like the article pointed out), but also makes a customer think twice when buying a game. For example I saw a game in bestbuy which i play in demo, so I bought when I carried it home and was playing for one whole day I realize that the game was bad, not good enough to spend $70 on, so when back to bestbuy to get it replace. If that scenario was to happen with a locked console I would be stuck with a crappy game. And another reason is new games are expensive $60-$70 a disc; I rather buy it used than buy it new. And besides some game developers like EA does the next best thing, which is they lock certain aspects of the game until a code is purchase which i personally don't have any problem with it. I think game developers should make their disc more secure not the consoles so people cannot copy their discs.

I would argue any increased profits from locking games to consoles will be marginal at best….reason being, ALL games will be scrutinized heavily if lacking in the replayability department. Take Star wars Unleashed 2, it was a great game but beatable in 1 or 2 days (tops)…the only reason i even bothered playing this game was because i was able to rent it online. It wasn't because of the used/rental game market that i bypassed purchasing this game, it was because the devs failed to create a game worth the hefty price tag….i have no problem buying games like skyrim, call of duty (online play), forza, ect., but a developer has to earn my money if they want me to drop $60 on a game every time. Also not to be forgotten is the lost revenue from downloadable content….this has to be easily one of the most profitable areas of the current gaming era as devs are charging 20%+ for "extra" content that takes a fraction of the time to create in comparison to the game itself. Take away the used game market and you will instantly lose all of the sales from consumers who might not be able to afford a $60 game, but don't mind spending $10-$20 for a new map pack or other useless upgrade to extend the replayability of their game for months on end
Damn, i forgot about that – its going to kill off rentals too! This sucks, i too like to rent games sometimes. Some games i buy straight away as i'll play them online. Others i rent just to play for a week and finish them.
I don't see why they'd lose money for dlc tho, there will probably still be tons of dlc. Not that i'm a fan of that either.

The reason i state there could be lost revenue from downloadable content is simply because i know i myself have purchased map packs and other various downloads for games i've either borrowed or rented….i would have never purchased those same games because either they simply didn't warrant the standard $60 price tag or because they didn't initially appeal to me until after taking a flyer and trying them out (via rentals).
Anthony Moulen
What I think is missing is the fact that no only would it affect Gamestop it could affect you. I own two playstations, one in our main family room and one in our basement. It was cheaper in some ways to buy two playstations than to buy bluray players and have to move the game console around. I would be trapped to playing games on one console under this mode, I couldn't go down to the basement and play a game for a while and move up to the family room to play it some more. If they do this, I will stick to Nintendo and leave Sony and Microsoft to suffer their losses for forgetting their customers.
ALso what happens if my PS4 blows up due to a lightning strike (or a bad power supply) and I have to replace the device, how do I move my purchased titles, I certainly am not going to purchase them again because Sony wants more money. I would have to wonder if this type of lock down is even legal, I would question if it would meet the UK consumer protection laws that I have heard of, and I would hope that we could convince our representative to file laws protecting consumers in the US.
I'm thinking the same thing. If they pull this crap then they need smacked with a big fat lawsuit.
As much as I love playing video games and playing with new toys the video gaming industry during this generation has pissed me off.
I had a PlayStation 3 that provided all the video gaming goodness that I could possibly need, it was also an investment that suited me economically… until it broke down that is.
Everybody knows the economy isn't all that great right now but yet these console making companies are planning on releasing these even newer consoles in just a couple of years from now. I (frankly) do not have the money to keep replacing consoles (that were either poorly built or programmed to brick) let alone purchase an entirely new generation of console every couple of years (technology is getting better and better and these release cycles are only going to get shorter and shorter in the long run).
Therefore, I couldn't really give a damn about the next next generation of consoles there are far more pressing things to worry about such as where the hell our economy is going.
I agree. I still have a working master system kicking round in the attic, my friend has a working ps1, my bro has a snes and nintendo 64, all working perfectly decades after we bought them!
My first 360, RROD. My second 360, RROD. Microsoft didn't want to know as it was out of warranty. My bros ps3, YLOD. He bought the new one, and it hasn't broke yet. But that's still a few hundred £'s wasted this generation on broken consoles.
I think the problem with this generation is that they crammed too much power in and just let the cooling system try to 'sort it all out". Either way, its unacceptable.

Hi there, this is me typing from a PC that has 10x the power of the crappy consoles (aka current consoles with 2005 tech compared to PC cpu/videocard from 2011). I will stick with my superior game system that can have 3 monitors at 3600*1200 res with DX11 graphics maxed out and keyboard and mouse and ability to play every game there is and the next 2 years without performance issues AND still be able to watch movies, use the net, use software, write things, store things, fap to things, non-proprietary, multitasking, etc etc, and it will STILL be better than the next crop of consoles. Everyone's going to be spending $400-500 on a console, when you can be smart and get a i5 2500 CPU and a DX11 videocard, at the time of this writing, for the same price, and that's including a new motherboard/ram. Sorry, you are on a computer looking at this, ergo you can upgrade that POS to something that can play modern games. You don't need to spend $500 on a videocard and $500 on a CPU, you can get the above that I listed for the same price of one of the new consoles and I bet you a million dollars that the new consoles won't have as much horsepower as the i5/i7 and a mid level DX11 card. Watch.
Oh, and don't get your hopes up, the console makers are going to get rid of used game sales as well because they will most likely be either download-only games or have to input one-time CD keys that makes it impossible to sell them used after use.
Welcome to what PC gamers have been going through since the beginning.
I'm a PC gamer and I enjoy tweaking my system and the superior graphics just like you. Hell I have a 1,000 watt PS and two SLI video cards though they're older GTX275 overclocked to hell. And an overclocked Q9550 processor. I will probably upgrade when Haswell processor comes out. I always make sure I get my moneys worth out of my stuff. But your argument that PC gaming is cheaper is completely untrue. There may be scenarios where it can be cheaper but for a proper gaming system it does cost more. Like a decent video card and the ability to overclock requires a better power supply, and overclocking requires a better motherboard and memory . Although price wise it's better than it used to be, like you don't have to upgrade nearly as often. I always buy the most expensive video card I can afford. Then I run it a couple of years and then buy a second one at a discounted price. I have enough graphics and processing power to run new games, but the only problem with my graphics cards is they don't have DX11. Of course DX10 on my old system still looks better than a current gen console. I don't really like console gaming and a decent gaming PC looks way better. But It is still amazing how good the graphics are considering the crap hardware that these consoles have in them. When the new ones come out we will be seeing some much better PC games because they won't have to cripple them for today's consoles.

There's SO many things wrong with this concept of locking games to consoles. I am only willing to pay $60 for a game since I know that I can either A: Trade/loan it to a friend who wants to play it & vice versa so that I can play his old games for free. or B: Sell them to a place like GameStop, GameFly, EBGames etc for about $20, 1/3rd of what I paid. They think that this will make more $$$ for developers but in reality it will simply make people less inclined to invest in their new console/games, thus less $$$ in dev's pockets. Not to mention that fit will completely kill of about 5 different industries, I will but DLC for games that I get from GameFly that I really like (as long as it's reasonable) & that is money that the developer would NEVER get if I couldn't play the game for a monthly fee. DLC is almost STRAIGHT profit since most of it is original code from the game that was removed from the release version so that they can sell it to you later. If you buy those kind of "add-ons" then about 75-85% of that is going right into $ony's & the dev's pockets. $ony needs to stop this piracy whining and get back into making GOOD products & developers need to stop being lazy and make some games worth buying… THAT will make them more $$$ in the long run…
Yes! To everything you said. That really pissed me off when I read that about them locking the game to the console. I'm a PC gamer myself, I hope they don't figure out a way to screw us too. I can't wait for the new consoles so we don't have to keep playing games that were ported from hardware that's so ancient. It's dumbing down the PC games. The consoles are where the money is, so the best games get developed for them first. I would still hate to see the console guy's getting screwed over by these big company's.
If Sony and MS try to pull this, we may be looking at a second crash. If they were smart, they'd go digital (with appropriate measures for the non-broadband having folks) and cut prices to $20. I've bought a lot of digital distro games and don't really mind that I can't resell them, since they weren't that expensive in the first place.
Of course, in such a scheme, I'd like to see day 1 downloadable versions of the whole ps3 library for back compatibility, with the option to trade in my discs for them, but Sony has sucked so hard at that with the PSP, I wouldn't bet on it.
Also, if Nintendo was smart, they would pointedly *not* put in these measures, and undercut the top price of games by $10. It would be their ticket back to being synonymous with gaming.
http://twitter.com/SonyPS4com Sony Playstation 4
I personally find it incredibly unlikely that they will lock games to consoles, there was a great article on http://sonyps4.com that explained all of the reasons this was just a crazy rumor. It would be a horrible thing for Sony to do and certainly they would lose business.
I am still waiting for them to fix the PS3, PS4 will never happen until they fix PS3, so its a big who cares!

That would mean, that if my PlayStation dies, and I buy a new one, my games won't work anymore. These idiotes are never going to learn their lessons. Boycot is the only possible answer.

Retail gas prices are forecast to decrease throughout the end of the year. Both oil and gas prices dropped last week after the value of the dollar increased to a two-week high.
The value of the dollar increased against the euro after the Labor Department announced the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent in November and Germany cut its economic growth outlook for 2013.
According to AAA's Manager of Regulatory Affairs Avery Ash, fuel demand is expected to stay low to start the New Year.
"While nationwide demand will increase slightly as motorist travel to visit family for the holidays, demand is expected to remain low to begin 2013, which will keep downward pressure on gas prices", said Ash. "Lower crude oil prices have also contributed to the dip in fuel costs."
The national average price of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.35, 4 cents less than last week. Georgia's state average price of $3.26 fell 2 cents last week, respectively.

Falcons Fall to 60th-Ranked Fresno State
April 5, 2013
The Air Force women's tennis team suffered a 7-0 loss to 60th-ranked Fresno State Friday afternoon in Fresno, Calif. Fresno State moved into first place in the Mountain West with an 11-5 overall and 4-0 record in the MW, while the Falcons fell to 12-6 and 1-2 in league play.
"Fresno is a very good team," said Air Force head coach Kim Gidley. "We made some great adjustments between our first and second sets and competed well all day."
The Bulldogs won the doubles point by sweeping all three matches. Olga Kirpicheva and Aishwarya Agrawal won at No. 3, defeating sophomores Tiffany Tran and Marcelli Magday 8-1. Bianca Modoc and Sophie Watts clinched the point for the Bulldogs at No. 2 with an 8-4 victory over senior Christine Molina and sophomore Natasha Rizvi. Melissa McQueen and Rana Sherif Ahmed rounded out the sweep with an 8-3 victory at the top spot over seniors Melissa Cecil and Hannah Dake.

Supranational law
Supranational law is a form of international law, based on the limitation of the rights of sovereign nations between one another. It is distinguished from public international law, because in supranational law, nations explicitly submit their right to make judicial decisions by treaty to a set of common tribunal. The United Nations Security Council and subordinate organizations such as the International Court of Justice are the only globally accepted supranational tribunals.
American supranational law[edit]
The Articles of Confederation, formally the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, was the first supranational agreement where 13 sovereign states were unified in a common government, which later became the United States of America. The central government proved too weak to manage the growing economy as the sovereign states incurred national debts and independently managed their national currencies without central coordination. The supranational government was terminated and the sovereign states were united into a unified nation by the United States Constitution in 1785.
European Union supranational law[edit]
European Union law was the next example of a supranational legal framework. In the EC, sovereign nations have pooled their authority through a system of courts and political institutions. They have the ability to enforce legal norms against and for member states and citizens, in a way that public international law does not. According to the European Court of Justice in the early case, 26/62, of NW Algemene Transporten Expeditie Onderneming van Gend en Loos v Nederlandse Admniistratie der Belastingen [1963] ECR 1, (often known as just Van Gend en Loos) it constitutes "a new legal order of international law":
"The Community constitutes a new legal order of international law for the benefit of which the states have limited their sovereign rights, albeit within limited fields, and the subjects of which comprise not only member states but also their nationals. Independently of the legislation of member states, community law therefore not only imposes obligations on individuals but is also intended to confer upon them rights which become part of their legal heritage. These rights arise not only where they are expressly granted by the treaty, but also by reason of obligations which the treaty imposes in a clearly defined way upon individuals as well as upon the member states and upon the institutions of the community."[1]
The Treaty of Lisbon is an international agreement that amends the two treaties which comprise the constitutional basis of the European Union that entered into force on 1 December 2009. It solidified human rights for individuals in all but three members. The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union interpreted by the European Court of Justice does not to apply fully to the United Kingdom, Poland, and the Czech Republic by the British Protocol.

A high-quality indoor environment offers many health benefits to building occupants. Below are some of the ways the SAC created a superior indoor environment for scouts, volunteers and staff:
Description: Created a designated smoking area that is 25 feet away from entries, outdoor air intakes and operable windows.
Benefit: Exposure to second-hand smoke is reduced.
Tip to get started: Identify an area on your building site that could serve as a designated smoking area. Make sure it is at least 25 feet from the building.
Description: Implemented a plan to maintain high-quality air and to reduce dust during construction.
Benefit: By having an air quality management plan, problems are prevented and the health of the construction staff and occupants is sustained.
Tip to get started: Prior to construction of a new building, establish an air quality management plan.
Description: Conducted a building flush-out with 14,000 cubic feet of outdoor air per square foot of building.
Benefit: By flushing out the facility prior to occupants entering the building, the construction contaminants are removed and the best air quality possible is created.
Tip to get started: When flushing out a building, maintain an internal temperature of at least 60 degrees and relative humidity of no more than 60 percent.
Description: Chose paints, adhesives and carpet systems that have low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC).
Benefit: Exposure to harmful chemicals improves air quality and reduces sensory irritation and other short- and long-term adverse health effects.
Tip to get started: Many companies produce low-VOC products that are also cost-effective. Consult with your suppliers to ensure these products are used.
Description: Placed walk-off floor mats at entryways.
Benefit: Floor mats help capture dirt, dust and other contaminants brought into the building from the outside.
Tip to get started: Consider adding entrance mats to your facility. Be sure to put a cleaning plan in place or find a company that will clean and maintain the floor mats as well.
Description: Installed MERV 14 filter* on mechanical equipment.
Benefit: A MERV 14 filter limits molds and helps control respirable-size particles including most bacteria, which promotes wellness for occupants.
Tip to get started: When selecting a filter, consider the building's location, occupancy, air quality issues and type of HVAC system.
*MERV 13 filter is LEED requirement, but SAC used MERV 14 filters
Description: Maximized use of natural light throughout building.
Benefit: Natural lighting has been shown to have a positive impact on productivity and well being.
Tip to get started: In the design phase, consider adding windows throughout the building to help improve employee productivity and well being.

Hey Princesses! and a few Princes if the slipper fits!
Here's the training schedule I've followed for the last 3 years. Feel free to use it. But, by all means, if there's something that works better for you, USE IT!!
One other BIG detail to note: We're gonna have the Princess Pasta Party on Saturday in Orlando, most likely at 4 p.m. We're working with the venue right now. After meeting with Stacia at Abolition, AND having many listeners from Atlanta sign up, we decided it'd be more convenient to have everyone come to Orlando, and not have the party in Tampa on Friday. We'll be efficient with our time, and make sure we finish up at a reasonable hour, so we can all get to bed! You will receive details of the party the first part of January when fundraising is completed and received by Abolition.
Also, our Team Freedom Coordinator, Hitch, will be contacting each of you this week to let you know that we've received your intent to be a part of Team Freedom. So far, we have almost 50 folks on the team! YAY! If you have a question, please email Hitch at email@example.com.
Presently, the Princess Half is 72% full with registration. Once registration is full at Disney, Team Freedom is full, as we have no control over the capacity for the Princess Half. So, if you're really interested, keep an eye on the registration percentage on Disney's website.
I'll most likely hold a training run on the last Saturday of January. Stay tuned for details…
Alrighty, I think that's all for now. I did 4 miles today. It was HARD. But it's a start!
Here's the schedule below. I know I still owe you a playlist too. I haven't forgotten!

Carpet Project – Library Closed August 11-12
|The Biomedical Library will be closed on the weekend of August 11-12, as the carpet in the lobby and public computer areas is being replaced. This carpet has not worn as well as expected and the excessive stains simply will not come out despite repeated intensive cleaning.
On August 9-10 there will be significant disruption on the 1st floor as we move all the furniture and public computers out of that area – we do have some public computers on the 2nd floor and UCSD users can use the computers in the Information Commons area.
We regret the inconvenience. The Geisel Library will be open as usual, and the Graduate Study will also be open for authorized users.

Don't axe the ASCOs
Response from Hampshire County Council, March 2014
Hampshire County Council is facing difficult financial challenges through continuing cuts in Government funding and increasing costs in looking after more elderly people and children who need our help.
Over the last three years we have made £100m of budget savings. This has been achieved in a number of ways, including services reducing their budgets by 18%. We now need to make a further £93m of savings and all services have to find further budget reductions.
It is simply not possible to continue to slice budgets while maintaining services and we have to make some extremely difficult decisions about our services.
The County Council set up the Accredited Community Safety Officer Service (ACSO) ten years ago when the Chief Constabulary, at that time, was opposed to having a similar service in the Police. But that situation has changed and there are now over 330 Police Community Safety Officers operating across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight whilst we have 36 ACSOs.
In the light of all these factors, we have had to make some very difficult choices – one of which is to cease providing the ACSO Service at the end of 2014.
We are working closely with our partners such as Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, Hythe and Dibden Parish Council and Totton and Eling Town Council, to see whether some locally sponsored posts can be set up.

The Mobile CNC FAB LAB is Available to Provide State of the Art CNC Training Right at Your Door!
After repeatedly hearing area manufacturers indicate the urgent need for employees with Computer Numeric Control (CNC) skills, the NLEA was anxious to find a solution. Manufacturers as a group said they could hire 200 additional employees right away, if they could find individuals with CNC skills and many jobs were going unfilled.
Northern Lakes Economic Alliance has lead efforts to assemble a group of our top business, educational, community and government leaders to develop a plan to bring a resource like a CNC Mobile Lab to our region. This group became the Manufacturing Advisory Team and has been a fantastic example of what can be accomplished when a collaborative approach is taken to find a solution to a challenge.
The success of the FAB LAB will be measured by how well we provide the skills needed by our manufacturers, how many students are trained and result in high-paying manufacturing jobs and finally how much the manufacturing industry expands in our four county region. High school students from Pellston, East Jordan and Central Lake are poised to take classes in the FAB LAB as well as on-site training scheduled for employees at Precision Edge, Moeller Aerospace and EJ. Additionally, the FAB LAB will showcase modern manufacturing to students, parents, communities and visitors with appearances at a variety of events.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
That was the message beneath the theme "A Century of Innovation" at the 100th Annual Chamber Dinner sponsored by the Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the Sovereign Performing Arts Center in Reading on Monday.
"Even 100 years later it's still about relationships," said Donald H. Moll Jr., president of R&G Glass in Reading.
"You still have to get out and meet people," said Pat Barrett, former Berks County assistant district attorney.
According to Ellen T. Horan, president and CEO of Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce and Industry, members still believe that stronger businesses make for a stronger and more vibrant community.
Even though the faces have changed over the years, the member focus is on making a difference and giving back to the society that makes success possible.
"The big difference from the original chamber is women – it was all men," Horan said. "It was more of an exclusive club, but now the chamber is more inclusive and diverse."
Monday's social event began with a two-hour networking reception and buffet-style dinner during which members shared what works and what doesn't in the business world.
"It's vital for the business community to get together, mingle and mix to share ideas," Barrett said. "We have a tightknit business community in Berks County."
Zane Collings, regional general manager of the center, said that the facility holds about 1,800 people, but they expected between 700 to 800 at Monday's event.
"The toughest thing is coordinating all the people supporting the event – the lighting, serving, decorating, the building, video and the chamber," Collings said. "It takes a lot of different folks to make that happen. Some people say, 'the most important thing is the food,' but everything is important."
The cuisine was a favorite of most visitors, including Lisa-Marie Stonaha and Debi Pletscher, both of Laughing Rock Technology.
"The food is excellent," Stonaha said. "It was very well done. It's a great way to get everybody to mingle before they sit down."
The top five companies in the Eighth Annual Greater Reading Top Business awards, ranked according to revenue growth by dollar and percentage increase, were: Customers Bank, Singer Equipment Company Inc., Appeeling Fruit Inc., TRIOSE Inc. and Omega Systems Consultants.
The top five companies in the 2nd Annual Emerging Entrepreneur Awards for exceptional sole-proprietors and small business owners were: Environmental Cleaning Concepts, RER Energy Group, Justin F. Bortz Fine Jewelry, Colorfin LLC and Michael's Classic Limousine.
Later the keynote address was given by motivational speaker Daniel H. Pink to a group that believes the economy is on the mend.
"The chamber membership is up 100 people from just last year," Horan said. "That's a positive sign that businesses are doing a little better."

2 cups
brown sugar
1 pound
2 cups
heavy whipping cream
1 cup
1/2 cup
maple syrup
OMG you think it would be wierd but it is awsome maple icecream with candied bacon the best of both worlds this is a great icecream love it will take a pic once it sets
Made this recipe for a laugh but joke is on me. I found a great candied bacon recipe and maple ice cream. Next time I will finely chop my bacon because it is weird to have to chew your ice cream that much. Maybe chocolate would be a fun add next time. My husband will have a new favorite ice cream if he gets to try this because my kids might eat it all before he even comes home.
5 Ratings
this was amazing. I ended up tripling the recipe because I have a 6qt ice cream maker. You do need to make sure the bacon is cooked crispy so it holds up in the ice cream without getting soggy. Also make sure to taste the cream base to make sure you get a good maple flavor. I ended up adding more syrup because I was using real maple syrup.
Made this Yesterday and it is awesome. My advice to all is really brown the bacon good on a non stick pan and cool it in a fridge. The sugar will harden as well as the bacon. Then finely chop and add to the mixture as directed. We added a Raspberry liqueur as well for a hit of Maple raspberry. Lots of flavor's little servings is all that's needed.

'Standing on Ceremony' to benefit Equality ToledoWritten by John Dorsey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Marriage is a deeply personal journey filled with love, passion and, hopefully, a little good humor. Actors Collaborative Toledo is putting matrimony under the microscope with its production of "Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays" at 7 p.m. Oct. 11 at The Village Players Theatre.
The collection of monologues and short plays was penned by some of modern American theater's best and brightest, including Mo Gaffney, Jordan Harrison, Moisés Kaufman, Neil LaBute, Wendy MacLeod, José Rivera, Paul Rudnick and Doug Wright.
The local production, which is a fundraiser for Equality Toledo, is being directed by Jeffrey J. Albright, Barbara Barkan, Joe Capucini, John Duvall, Carol Ann Erford and Jake Gordy. It features JD McIntyre, Matthew Gretzinger, Aggie Alt, Samanthia Rousos, Barbara Barkan, Jeffrey J. Albright, Kate Argow, Zac Gilley, Natalie Bostleman Brown, John Duvall, Jake Gordy, Carol Ann Erford and Joe Capucini.
"This show came about because my producing partners and I had heard about the original production and just decided that it was something that we really wanted to do. One of the things that I enjoy about this show is that while it addresses gay marriage, it doesn't feel the need to beat its audience over the head with it," Albright said. "It can be very easy for a lot of people in the gay and lesbian community to talk about equal rights, but with equal rights come equal responsibilities. My own partner and I got married a few years ago, and for us it wasn't political, just simply a personal gesture that allowed us the opportunity to say 'I do.'
"For hundreds of years most people's idea of marriage has been a man and a woman and you have to expect that gay marriage is going to create a dialogue and just hope that people are open to the conversation. And that's our hope with this production, that it at least opens people up to the conversation and gets them talking to one another."
There will be a reception following the show with food, drinks, and music at the Mansion View Inn, 2035 Collingwood Blvd., at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15 for the play only; $40 includes reception or $70 for two tickets to the play and reception. They may be purchased online at www.equalitytoledo.org. The Village Players Theatre is located at 2740 Upton Ave.

Thanks to all of the great volunteers who helped maintain the beauty of Fortier Park this morning. And, a special thank you to Bobby Wozniak for his decades of dedication to making Fortier Park what it is today.
