The entire sixth-grade glass at Soule Road Elementary School in Liverpool started their week by meeting Crouse Hospital surgeon Dennis Brown, MD, who came with items that immediately sparked the students' interest: actual organ samples. They were fascinated with learning more about the human body, and posed all sorts of questions about various organs of the body. In addition, the students asked Dr. Brown about his career and the different types of surgeries that can be performed.
One organ sample shown to the students was a lung diseased from smoking. Looking at the lung, one student asked why it looked as though it had mold on it, pointing to small holes in the organ. "That's the alveoli," responded Dr. Brown, "So you know what that is?" The students each responded yes, pleasing their science teacher since they just had been tested on the respiratory system.
Dr. Brown's presentation was part of the school's science curriculum and helped fulfill Crouse Hospital's mission of promoting community health. And in this case, recruiting the next generation of healthcare providers.

Art Tips: Painting a Still Life IV
Posted by: phelim on Jan 06, 2012
Paint the background behind the vase with the original colours and more Titanium White. The red in the middle is Cadmium Red and the white on the right has a little blue. Apply roughly and by applying around the objects the background, or negative space, helps to create greater depth and 3D on these.
On the tablecloths once again apply highlights as before but with more white. Use a tiny amount of Cadmium Yellow to add luminosity, strengthen shadows on the cloths with white, winsor blue and a little cadmium red (violet will add more colour drama).
You can use a painting (palette) knife as I did to create sharper edges on the folds.
Finally, make sure that the whites on the vase are bright enough so, if necessary, glaze in some Titanium White with some liquin. This will help to create a more lustrous effect.
p.s. If adding the piece of masking tape use a transparent white and liquin so that the underlying colours come through.
Enjoy, Phelim.

It's one of the biggest nights of the Reno Rodeo events: the Miss Reno Rodeo coronation.
Friday night Melinda Cowan was crowned after a gruelling week of competition.
Her reign doesn't begin until this year's Reno Rodeo is over. Immediately after the festivities end, Cowan plans on working with the community of Reno to highlight what the Reno Rodeo Foundation does the other 355 days of the year.
The five contestants were asked the impromptu question at Friday night's pageant, "If you were to trade places with the Reno Rodeo President for a day, what would you do and why?" Cowan's answer: to get Red Bull as a sponsor because Red Bull tends to sponsor extreme events, and caters to a younger crowd.

Historic Hattiesburg Downtown Association has put Spring Art Walk on hold. The event features work from local artiest, live music and food an beverages.
- Filed Under
Art Walk is a spring tradition in Hattiesburg, but this year downtown leaders have placed the outdoor event in storage for a little retooling.
That means there is no scheduled spring Art Walk - the decision to table it made unanimously by the Historic Hattiesburg Downtown Association board of directors in March.
"It's just one of those deals. The way it's evolved I don't know if it is accomplishing its mission," explained new HHDA executive director Walt Denton. ...

You're kidding, right?
34 posts.. No, you're not kidding.
Search, man. There are dozens (at least) of vendors of OBD-II hardware out there. Hell, search the forums and see where people bought their stuff.
Does anyonne know where I can get a OBD-II cable? I want to hook this up to my carpc.
Thanks in advanced!
You're kidding, right?
34 posts.. No, you're not kidding.
Search, man. There are dozens (at least) of vendors of OBD-II hardware out there. Hell, search the forums and see where people bought their stuff.
If you notice I put the year, make and model as the subject. I didnt know if the same cable works for ALL BMW's. So believe it or not. There wasnt a joke, and yes I did search. So basically its uncalled for to flame someone for asking a question. I found information on a X5, but thats a 2000 X5, theres a X3. Still not "my" X5. Alot can happen in two years for changes to a vehicle. So please dont bash people because they asked a question and assume that they dont use the neat feature called "search". I have, I know how and I have always searched before asking a question. Now...that we have this going, you wasted your time, space and started somthing, rather than just helping. I would bet if half the messages on this forum would be gone if half the messages didnt state "search, your kidding, or bashing a person for asking. This place would be even more of a wealth of information for people such as myself. Instead of sifting through a bunch of flame/bash "your kidding right?"
But, always hopeful, thanks anyways for the bash, and no information given.
Get off your high horse, man. You're the one who posted the general question "Where can I purchase Product X".
If you'd search these forums, there are many vendors of OBD hardware/software that members have used. But you don't bother to look.
If you'd Google, you'd find even more.
If you had a question about a cable you found from a specific vendor, why don't you ask them if that cable will work with your model year?
I'm sorry, but asking a question like "Where can I purchase such-and-such?" in a forum is not going to get you any love, buddy. If you don't kknow how to locate a vendor for a specific product, that's not our problem to rectify.
DP stop bashing the n00bs man. They cant help it if they are retarded.
EDIT: allegedtly, in my opinion
Elm Electronics
Google these names.......
I have the same X5 and I am using ELM323 chip for OBDII reading.
The interpreter chip
The ELM323 was specifically
designed as a low-cost solution for
interfacing a PC or PDA to a vehicle
diagnostics connector. To keep things
simple it communicates at a fixed
baud rate of 9600 baud and does not
offer a handshaking option for the
RS232 interface. In addition it is only
able to communicate using the
10.4 kHz ISO 9141 Protocol. This standard
is the most common used by the
majority of European and Asian manufacturers.
Vehicles built in the US
use VPW and PWM protocols and
suitable interpreter chips are also
available from Elm Electronics.

"The Malvern rheometer is an extremely important asset for Michelman
Inc," comments Senior Research Chemist Ron Foster. "It allows us to
measure the viscosity of coatings at different shear rates and then confidently
predict stability, ease of application and leveling behaviour. The melting oven
is a valuable accessory that allows us to assess polymer feeds in wax emulsions.
Malvern's technical support is excellent, particularly with respect to interpreting
results, and has helped us to extract maximum value from the instrument."
During storage, paints and coatings are subjected only to gravitational forces
but during application, high shear conditions may be imposed. As the coating
dries to form a level surface with the desired attributes, very low shear conditions
apply once more. Michelman takes advantage of the oscillatory testing capabilities
and wide torque of the rheometer, to quantify formulation performance under
all relevant conditions and ensure it will fully meet customer specifications.
These capabilities simplifiy the replacement of existing commercial products
with, for example, more environmentally benign, water-based alternatives.
The Malvern rheology offering is much more than a suite of high performance,
precision instruments with applications in research, development and QC. Malvern
understands that for many people, the challenge of knowing what measurements
to make and how to interpret the results is a barrier to exploiting the full
potential of rheological tools. To address this issue Malvern has developed
Kinexus, a radically new rheometer platform whose embedded intelligence makes
it much easier for users to access appropriate rheological information.
For more information see www.malvern.com/kinexus or call a Rheology Specialist

Lindsay Lohan
Did Lindsay Lohan Admit She's Dating a Married Father?
In more Lindsay Lohan news you weren't expecting to hear today, LiLo may have just admitted to having an affair with a married father. That is, if the interview ever took place.
The interesting relationship developments comes to us courtesy of KODE Magazine, which claims LiLo told them (via The Daily Mail), "Oh this guy I'm seeing sent me a jet because he wants to see me... but he's married with kids." Also in the article: claims Lindsay was high on ecstasy during the first night of Coachella and took "a sip from her freshly topped off glass of vodka on the rocks" during the interview.
Kinda crazy, right? That's what the 27-year-old actress is saying, calling foul over the whole thing.
"Lindsay never spoke to any journalist at Kode. The interview was completed via email," Lindsay's rep tells E! News. "We have no comprehension on why a journalist would fabricate this content and distribute it in such an irresponsible way."
To make matters all the more complicated, KODE claims that Lindsay did fill out a Q&A via email, but the magazine decided to pass on the Q&A and use a transcript from an interview with her instead. Who conducted that interview? A "trusted source" known as The Kurator, according to the magazine. Absolutely no one, according to Lindsay's people.
Fishy as this all may sound, the editor in chief of KODE, Troy Watson, insists that what's published is what actually happened. "I have sworn testimonies that it took place that back up everything," he says. Executive editor Jacob Simon adds, "Yes, the interview took place and everything stated in the article is fact and came directly from [Lindsay] Lohan herself. And we have photos chronicling the writer and Lindsay's numerous times together."
Your move, LiLo.

Courtney Kozul Horvath, Ph.D.
Courtney Kozul Horvath is a superb example of the caliber of student researchers being trained by the Superfund Research Program. Courtney's work in low-dose arsenic exposure has earned her recognition and attention from both the scientific community and mainstream media.
A research career was not always in Courtney's plans. She comes from a family of professional ballet dancers and spent her high school years training to become a ballerina at one of the world's most prestigious professional dance academies. Then, while transitioning from student to professional dancer, Courtney sustained an injury. During her rehabilitation, she decided to enroll in college to explore a little more of the life she had given up to pursue her goal. She fell in love with science and hasn't looked back since. When asked about that time, she says that her life experiences taught her just what can be achieved through hard work and perseverance.
Hard work and perseverance have served Courtney in good stead. She graduated in 2006 as valedictorian of Regis College with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry. While a student at Regis, Courtney conducted independent research and worked as an intern at Genzyme. She credits these experiences with piquing her interest in basic and applied research and prompting her decision to pursue a graduate degree. In 2006, she joined the Molecular Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Therapeutics group at Dartmouth Medical School to study the toxic effects of chronic low dose environmental exposure to arsenic in drinking water--at or below 10 parts per billion (ppb), the current EPA standard for drinking water.
In order to gain a clear understanding of the changes small doses of a toxin will cause, Courtney needed to know the baseline exposure levels of arsenic the mice in her experiment experienced. She discovered that the standard mouse feed used in laboratory settings contained 390 ppb of total arsenic, 39 times the current exposure limit for drinking water. This prompted the research group to switch to purified mouse food, and the results of her research gained mainstream attention when they were featured in the March 2009 edition of The Scientist magazine.
After determining baseline exposure of the mice in her study, Courtney explored the effects of arsenic on the immune system. She found that chronic low dose exposure to arsenic led to a significantly altered cytokine production in the lung. This result was unexpected as the arsenic was ingested by the mice, and the usual exposure route for lung damage is inhalation. These results have led to further investigation of the effects of ingested arsenic on the lungs.
Courtney's work has garnered a number of regional, national, and international awards. Beyond the media attention from the mouse feed studies, she received "Best Student Poster" awards at the SRP Annual Meetings in 2007 and 2008, and Karen Wetterhahn Memorial Student Poster Awards from the New England Membrane Enzymology Group in 2007 and 2008. The Society of Toxicology awarded Courtney a Graduate Student Research Award Honorable Mention in 2008 and four research awards and scholarships in 2009. Courtney was also honored with an "Outstanding Oral Presentation" award and travel scholarship at the International Central and Eastern European Conference on Health and the Environment in 2008.
Courtney completed her Ph.D. in December 2009. In 2010, she was awarded a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service F32 Award to study the immunotoxic effects of developmental arsenic exposure in the Department of Immunology at Dartmouth Medical School.

I'll just play the game normal. #1 Agree(33) | Disagree(18) | Report | Reply showtimefolks + 1025d ago seriously people seriously have another hobby besides gaming don't buy the damn game but that doesn't someone who is interested in it and liked the demo shouldn't buy it. you don't have to use the micro Transactions between this and asking obama to ban DMC and than people wonder why gaming as entertainment isn't lookedat seriously whole other forms of entertainment get their due respect simple solution if you don't like EA don't buy their games, i don't buy capcom games, where are the capcom fanboys when capcom rips their fans charge for all sort of dlc? why is it always only EA #1.1 Agree(8) | Disagree(8) | Report | Reply ProjectSiK + 1025d ago I agree with most of your post except for the "Why is it always only EA?" You serious? inb4 "Super street fighter turbo hd ultimate remix edition" Capcom haters are just as bad. #1.1.1 (Edited 1025d ago ) | Agree(7) | Disagree(4) | Report knowyourstuff + 1025d ago EA's a cash whore, they do the same thing with their Need for Speed games, practically every NFS game that has come out allows you to buy timesaver packs and unlock all cars and tracks. It's just another source of revenue for people with aren't hardcore gamers and just want to experience whatever they want whenever they want, and don't care to drive all the slow cars for hours on end before they can get any fast ones. I would never buy it but who cares if someone else wants to? Get a life, seriously. The only time this is a bad thing is if it's nearly impossible to get everything in the game unlocked without paying for it, and EA hasn't done there here, so stop crying you babies. #1.1.2 Agree(4) | Disagree(1) | Report joab777 + 1025d ago Exactly. Think logically ppl. This isnt bad, it is brilliant. What i hate is forcing me to pay for equipment that someone CANNOT get in game. AAA titles r expensive to make. The industry is saturated and the economy isnt helping. Many of our fav IPs may not make it to next gen. Also, ppl are not buying many games cuz they dont have the time to play everything. This dlc u CAN get in game by playing it. So what are u boycotting? If they make a few million by speeding up the process for those who want to pay, who cares. It isnt multiplayer, it wont affect you and it may earn the company a few extra million, keep money circulating and ppl working. Now, dragons dogmas dlc was basically pointless cuz it was almost all underpowered but i bought it to support them so they can make another one cuz i loved it. U know what i do for games i dont like? Nothing. Its almost like u r boycotting because u have no restraint and will have to buy the dlc because its there, and thus it will ruin ur experience. Now, i dunno how accurate GI's review is but they gave it a 9.75 and u want to boycott it. WTF!!! Just dont buy it and dont troll. Maybe boycott on disc dlc or dlc for shit that should be a reward in game. Better yet, dont boycott anything right now or we wont have an industry. Practice some self control and purchase it. #1.2 (Edited 1025d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply yeahokchief + 1025d ago I don't care about the microtransactions. 1&2 allowed you to buy weapons too. I've played all the games before this one, but i'm not buying this one because it is no longer survival horror. It's an action game. It's not for the fans of the series whatsoever. I had already added all EA games to my shitlist since the horrible Battlefield 3 port anyways. No EA, Activision Blizzard, Crapcom or Nintendo games for this guy. Bunch of casual focused crap that hasn't even fixed major glaring flaws or is missing important launch features that they sell off later as DLC. I feel sorry for anyone who trusts a review made by a magazine run by Gamestop. They're in the business of selling games idiot. Look back at how they gave RAGE a 9.something and look how horrible it was. They have 0 credibility. IN the same month they gave Dark Souls and 8. Look at all the positive reception that game has. Total bullshit. TLDR Greedy assholes are ruining my hobby and making me hate it. I'll just keep my money and wait for the others to slip up until i'm through with it. #1.3 (Edited 1025d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Seraphim + 1025d ago I probably should boycott simply because I probably won't get around to playing it until it's $35 anyway. But nope, copy arriving tomorrow alongside Sly. While I don't agree w/ Micro Bull I do support Visceral and they've done a fine job w/ the Dead Space IP. Until they screw that up they have my respect, support & money. #1.4 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply chukamachine + 1025d ago Don't boycott, don't buy dlc. Microcrap. If they want to go this route. The actual retail game should be cheaper to begin with. #1.5 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply thaiboy + 1025d ago The upside of boycotting is to send a message to the big game developers that micro transactions are not right or fair. #2 Agree(13) | Disagree(5) | Report | Reply ArchangelMike + 1025d ago Nope... proven not to work. Why? Because EA probably already have about 1 million pre-orders for the game across all platforms. To put it another way over the course of the next 12 months they will sell over 1 million copies of the game. 3 million copies at least. Boycotting will have zero impact. Don't buy the game if you don't want to, but don't delude yourself that such a "boycott" has any impact whatsoever. #2.1 Agree(6) | Disagree(12) | Report | Reply MarioAna + 1025d ago The Dead Space franchise is in decline, Dead Space 2 didn't even sell 3 million. Current pre-orders are under 250,000 for the US and that's it's biggest market. DS3 won't even get half the pre orders you state, and funny thing about that is pre-orders can be cancelled. Boycotting does work, if people actually do it, if not then well it's not boycotting is it? Series in decline, so EA come up with one last way of milking the suckers. Who are the same people who just lie back and take it. #2.1.1 Agree(15) | Disagree(3) | Report kindi_boy + 1025d ago Money you didn't make is money you lost. I don't understand why people hate to make a statement... #2.1.2 Agree(9) | Disagree(1) | Report ArchangelMike + 1025d ago All I'm saying is that internet boycotys, petitions and protests simply do not work. Name me one internet boycott or petition that has had any impact. Even the Mass Effect 3 fiasco with it's "extended ending" didn't change the things the fans wanted changed. #2.1.3 Agree(4) | Disagree(6) | Report adorie + 1025d ago OpRainfall wants some private time with you. #2.1.4 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report REALgamer + 1025d ago How do the micro transaction in Dead Space 3 affect you in any way? All content is available through normal play. You do not miss out on anything through ignoring the micro transactions. Therefore, you can play the game and pretend they don't exist if you wish and still get the full experience. However, for some people who may not have the same time or skill necessary to unlock these things, this is an optional way for them to be able to see everything the game has to offer. I am completing a PhD at the moment, and did not have time to unlock every costume in DmC. I was very happy to see the option to pay $4 to unlock them immediately so I would not miss out on seeing them in my limited playtime. The fact that someone else may make use of this has NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER on your own experience. So why should you care what other people do? Play the game without them if you wish. I will too. But how on earth is it unfair when it doesn't affect your game at all? #2.2 (Edited 1025d ago ) | Agree(5) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply MarioAna + 1025d ago The concern for me is that while you can get them without paying, they are going to make it next to impossible to do to make you eventually give up and pay. Perhaps in a normal situation you would have had to grind for an hour or so, but now EA might push that up to 5 or 6 hours to deter people from even trying. This is of course not a known quantity, just my fear. #2.2.1 Agree(3) | Disagree(4) | Report gorebago + 1025d ago Pretty much any modern EA game does this. Look at the DLC for the Need for Speed series for example. Going to pick my copy up tomorrow after work and enjoy it! #2.2.2 (Edited 1025d ago ) | Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report Timesplitter14 + 1025d ago Is it just me or does this website/youtube show look really, really lame?

They're the ones providing you with Dead Space 3. If you want it, then it means they've succeeded in creating something you want to play. If you dislike Twilight, should you sneak into the cinema instead of buying a ticket, or should you, I don't know, NOT see it? If you want Dead Space 3, buy it. If you don't, then don't buy it. Wanting to play it without giving the devs their money in exchange for the product YOU WANT TO PLAY is just hypocritical. #4.1.1 Agree(9) | Disagree(4) | Report Revolver_X_ + 1025d ago Flawed N4G logic, as usual. inb4 Root brings more irrational dribble. #4.1.2 Agree(1) | Disagree(2) | Report Kamikaze135 + 1025d ago I don't see a reason to unless you're forced to buy things that add more content to the game that should have been there for free. IIRC, Dead Space 2 had a bunch of DLC that just made the game easier...nothing you absolutely required. It takes away from the challenge, anyway. #5 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply pandehz + 1025d ago Boycotting? Not even buying the damn game. Its not even Dead Space. The aesthetics, the atmsophere, where is space in the promos or lets say where is the terrifying/deeply chilling space? Dead Space 3 brings nothing new to the table besides, tweaks, loot , a little more customization. Its trying to be an , rpg, a third person shooter, a partially horror game and halfway zombie like feel. DEAD SPACE the original brought something fresh into the game industry, dead space 2 tweaked it and well did an ok job but it wasnt anything new. Dead SPace 3 is just EA's last cash grab. It brings nothing new to the genre or video games or even in dead space besides, setting, loot etc etc tweaks Microtransaction is an issue here of course but thats not the main issue. The game is not dead space. Its 'Gears of the lost uncharted left for dead planet.' Think I made my point and you know it well too. For ppl who pre-ordered, well if you have the extra money then go for it but take it as a different game and you might not be dissapointed. #6 (Edited 1025d ago ) | Agree(6) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply morganfell + 1025d ago What part of it was Gears? I played the demo several times both in SP and in Co-op and didn't experience anything such as that. What? There are a few human enemies? Doesn't it make sense that eventually you would encounter them in the story? They are not the main opponent. Some people that managed to get the game early stated they do not appear in most chapters. The ones I encountered in the demo were too busy acting like a meal for necromorphs to cause me much trouble. And it was interesting to see them die and immeditately take over. What's next? The demo was part of the one deceptive chapter designed by EA to make you think they had gone away from Dead Space? No. What is likely is that the minute more than a crazy human showed up in the Dead Space 3, the gaming press (ha ha ha) started bawling their eyes out and everyone jumped on the sheep wagon for a wild ride to Stupidville. Yes the gaming press (ha ha ha) are so damned reliable let's all get on board with whatever they say and follow that 14 year old pied piper journalist right off the cliffs of common sense. Boycott Dead Space 3 for Six weeks because of a feature that doesn't affect you? Remember kids, REAL Dead Space isn't about Multiplayer, right? That would be blasphemous for the series to evolve. These guys need to change their diapers and find another line of entertainment. #6.1 (Edited 1025d ago ) | Agree(3) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply pandaboy + 1025d ago cute #6.1.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(3) | Report shotgunshine + 1025d ago I understand the game industry is going down a bad path and its complete bs that EA probably forced this... and if it does well, we might be seeing more of this nickel and dime stuff going on(yikes)with that said it's up to you, the consumer, to say i'm not going to fall for this. I'll still be getting the game, because I am a big Dead Space fan, but that doesn't mean I have to buy micro transactions and pay for day 1 DLC. #7 Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Gamer-Z + 1025d ago I'll just earn those items the old fashion way by using...............wait for it....................Skill #8 Agree(7) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Revolver_X_ + 1025d ago A revolutionary idea!

The only change now is that people who wish to cheat their way to the unlocked content without effort have to pay, and people who take the ordinary unlock route do not. Sounds fair. #20 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Jdoki + 1025d ago Big deal... micro-transactions! Oh noes the world is ending! If people want to to pay to unlock stuff then good for them. It's a choice - and choice is good. There's a lot of people who don't want to jump through hoops to unlock stuff, and others just want to have fun with the best weapons etc as quickly as possible. As long as the micro-transaction stuff can also be unlocked for free within the game then I don't care. It will only be a problem if games become pay to win. #21 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply ziggurcat + 1025d ago seriously... if you can get everything through natural game progression, who the **** cares if a few lazy people want to waste their money acquiring these things earlier than normal? EA certainly isn't forcing anyone to buy into the micro transactions, so i really don't see what the problem is... #22 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply CynicalKelly + 1025d ago Exactly. If it gets out of hand and it becomes available for all games, for items that you need to complete the game that are too hard to get ingame, then it's a problem. But for people like me who doesn't have the time to go grind for items then this can be good. I have bought so many games in the last 6 months and never got to play them yet. I might consider buying an item or two to speed me through Dead Space 3. I don't have as much time as these kids and manchilds. #22.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply tigertron + 1025d ago Boycotting the game won't change anything, but one thing is certain...the only bit of DLC I will be buying are campaign chapters like Severed. Screw the whole micro-transaction rubbish. #23 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply N311V + 1025d ago This will only be a problem for me if the grind to scavenge items is unacceptably long. If playing the game feels normal to me then I'll pay no attention to the microtransactions or DLC for the scavenger bot. If I do feel that I'm being "encouraged" to use microtransactions via a long grind then I'll be PISSED! Only one way to find out though. #24 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply MarioAna + 1025d ago And this is my main concern, are they altering the game to push you in the MT direction. Other main concern is if this works out for them then what are they going to push on next? Guns, endings etc. #24.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply N311V + 1025d ago Sooner or later I think a publisher is going to attempt this tactic and boy will the shit hit the fan, especially if it's a beloved AAA title. I just hope EA hasn't tried it with DS3 as I pick up my collector's edition in the morning. #24.1.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report HiddenMission + 1024d ago The gamer who boycott's DS3 for micro transaction is not a gamer but a moron. You don't have to buy any of it since it's all obtainable by just playing the game. Some gamers just want to speed up the process since they don't have the extra free time but do have the extra cash. Both types of gamers win and Visceral and EA win as well...so everyone wins. There is nothing wrong with that you silly little rabbits. #25 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply thaiboy + 1024d ago Then I guess one day the gamer who buys a game where the "real" or "better" ending needs to be bought is a genius. #25.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply HiddenMission + 1023d ago @Thaiboy What are you talking about? Cutting endings and charging for them is totally different than what is going on here. Your taking a stab at EA and BioWare for ME3 and even then they didn't sell the ending. If you don't feel like buying the content then don't...no one is forcing you and the content has not been pulled out of the game...it's all still in the game. #25.1.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report andron666 + 1024d ago Then you should have started your boycott of EA much earlier. They have been selling "time saving" unlock DLC for a long time for most of their games. In NFS, Battlefield and so on you could get a head start with all kits or cars unlocked by putting money down. But in fairness I do agree EA have taken the whole concept too far now with in-game micro-transactions. How does this affect the games balance? Have they made it harder to play so more people will be tempted to part with their cash? Will this make the game a grind for non paying gamers? #26 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Add comment You need to be registered to add comments.

Cleveland Clinic Sports Health Courage Award is an honor given annually by the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic Sports Health at the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards banquet each January. It is awarded to a student athlete who has faced a medical challenge in his or her life and approached the situation with courage and determination to get back into the game.
If you know a student athlete who has overcome a medical challenge in his or her life and would like to submit them for the 2015 Courage Award nominate them today.
Courteney Belmonte
At age 12, Courteney Belmonte already was a veteran cheerleader. But the flips, twists and other demanding athletic moves she had to execute effortlessly for years suddenly weren't so easy.
A school medical test showed she wasn't able to bend over as far as other students. Her doctor's diagnosis was a shock. Courteney had scoliosis, a deformity often affecting adolescent girls that gradually warps the spine. If it's not corrected, scoliosis causes posture, movement and medical problems.
Surgery can realign the spine, but it's a major operation. Metal rods are affixed to the spinal bones with screws, and bone grafts fuse the vertebrae into their straightened position. Full recovery typically takes a year. While patients often can return to strenuous athletics, it's not a certainty.
"Probably the most difficult aspect for children is the activity restrictions during recovery," said Cleveland Clinic pediatric orthopaedic surgeon Ryan Goodwin, MD, who performed Courteney's more than 12-hour operation in 2008.
The day after surgery, Courteney was up and walking. "At first we thought (her recovery) was going to be slow and painful, but nothing gets her down," said her father Tony. "She refused a lot of help. She said, 'I want to do this on my own.'"
"It was a step-by-step process, and I had to start at some point," Courteney said. Although Dr. Goodwin had told her it probably would probably be a year before she could resume cheerleading, she resolved to make it happen sooner. She worked hard at rehabilitation.
Six months after Courteney's surgery, her persistence paid off. Dr. Goodwin gave her the green light to return to competitive cheerleading.
The day Courteney got the news, her parents drove her to the gym to join her teammates' practice. "Being back in the gym had never felt like such a relief," she said.
Courteney's determination earned her the 2013 Cleveland Clinic Sports Health Courage Award, presented annually to athlete who has overcome adversity.
"You've just got to remember, keep pushing for what you want," said Courteney, currently a senior at Westlake High School. "It's OK to be scared," but "you should always try."
Molly Miller
Cancer has been a part of Molly Miller's life for as long as she can remember. Molly's father, Phil, was first diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma when she was just three years old. But there is another constant in Molly's life: sports. With two athletically-gifted older brothers, Molly was thrown into a competition-dominated world almost instantly. So much so that her older brothers would avoid competing against her, fearful of what would happen if Molly didn't win.
Phil and his wife, Jane, taught Molly and her brothers to never feel sorry for themselves. Molly credits this lesson with helping her get through the pain of losing her father at the age of 11.
Nineteen months after Phil's death, a lump in Molly's axillary began to grow. The lump had been there for most of Molly's life and Phil's experience had taught Jane to check it often. When the mass became enlarged, a biopsy was performed and Dr. Steve Lietman, Director of the Cleveland Clinic Orthopaedic Musculoskeletal Tumor Center, delivered some difficult news. Molly had a low grade fibromyxoid sarcoma – a rare form of cancer.
Despite being told that her treatment would not resemble her father's and no chemotherapy was needed, Molly was still scared. She leaned on her strong relationships with her family to help calm some of her fears. An operation performed by Dr. Lietman removed the remaining portion of the tumor. Despite not needing chemotherapy, Molly had a long road ahead. In order for her surgical area to heal properly, Molly would not be able to play sports for the better part of a year. One constant in Molly's life had removed the other.
Despite having sports taken from her, Molly remained upbeat, knowing her absence from the field was only temporary. Her competitive personality was stronger than ever, fueling her drive to make sports once again a constant in her life. After taking almost a year off, Molly returned to the soccer field and made the varsity team as a freshman at Notre Dame Academy.
According to Dr. Lietman, the cure rate for someone with Molly's form of cancer is 80 percent. If the sarcoma does come back, it will resurface in her lungs. Each time Molly has a follow-up appointment, she must face the possibility of being told her cancer has returned.
Falling back on her parent's lessons, Molly never felt sorry for herself. She approached her surgery and each follow-up appointment at the Cleveland Clinic with a positive and calm demeanor. Cancer has forever changed Molly's life. Yet through the ups and downs, the tears and the smiles, Molly has faced each challenge with courage and determination.
It is this courageous and inspiring attitude that led the nurses, doctors and staff of the Cleveland Clinic to award Molly the Courage Award presented by Cleveland Clinic Sports Health at the 2012 Greater Cleveland Sports Awards on January 24 at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel Grand Ballroom.
Brandee Kelly
Brandee's determination in overcoming lymphoma earned her the admiration of her teammates, coaches, family, friends and medical team at Cleveland Clinic and led to her receiving the 2011 Cleveland Clinic Courage Award. The award recognizes exceptional student athletes who face difficult medical challenges with courage and determination.
Cleveland State University's Brandee Kelly thought the pain she felt in her lower back during the start of games in her first season might just be due to the grind of a Division I women's basketball career.
Intense pain sent her to the emergency room where a battery of tests revealed abnormal growths in Brandee's back, pelvis and leg. After seeing the images, head team physician, Susan Joy, MD, of Cleveland Clinic Sports Health, arranged a biopsy of Brandee's pelvic bone and referral to an oncologist.
Cleveland Clinic oncologist Brad Pohlman, MD, shared with Brandee the news that the pain was being caused by the mass in her back, which was lymphoma, a type of blood cancer that affects cells of the immune system. In her case, it was found in her bone marrow, and it was spreading throughout her body.
Lymphoma found in young patients can be aggressive and deadly. Treatment would require an intensive regimen of chemotherapy, but there was hope for a full recovery. Brandee says at first she was devastated. She could not understand why a young, active woman would have cancer. But the somberness didn't last long. The winning spirit that led Brandee to be valedictorian of Beaumont High in St. Louis and a prized recruit for the Vikings defined her cancer treatment.
Accompanied by family members and close friend Monica Daniels, Brandee began the first in a series of chemotherapy treatments that would span four months. Brandee battled through the side effects: intense nausea, vomiting, fatigue and hair loss. Each time she finally began to feel better, she would return to the clinic for another round of treatment.
She said she has always been a positive person. Her cancer experience was a test of that attitude, and she did not waver. Brandee missed only a few weeks of school; she even returned to take final exams and she passed them all.
For her final treatment, with her prognosis for beating cancer seemingly strong, Brandee's Cleveland State teammates and coaches joined her as she rang the ceremonial bell at Taussig Cancer Institute. The bell gives notice to everyone in the building that a patient has completed a final treatment session. It also signaled to Vikings fans that a healthy, cancer-free Brandee would be returning to the floor for her sophomore season.

Osbournes Leave Monologues Days Before Opening
Editorial Staff • West End • 4 Apr 2005
Rocker's wife and reality TV star Sharon Osbourne (pictured with husband Ozzy Osbourne) and her daughter Aimee Osbourne this weekend have dramatically pulled out of the cast of The Vagina Monologues. The women were due to make their West End debuts in the show (See News, 11 Jan 2005), which starts performances tomorrow (5 April) at Wyndham's Theatre ahead of a scheduled press night this Thursday (7 April).
The Osbournes' departure follows last week's announcement that, owing to filming commitments, original co-star Naomie Harris would be replaced by Diane Parish (See News, 30 Mar 2005). In a statement issued on Friday night, the Osbournes explained: "Aimee has been taken ill and the family are therefore flying back home to LA so that she can have further treatment and rest. They hope everyone understands and would be very grateful for privacy at this sensitive and difficult time for them. They apologise profusely for letting the cast down and wish them all the very best for the upcoming production."
An initial response released this morning from The Vagina Monologues' producers Mark Goucher and Sally Greene said they were "shocked" to read reports this weekend about the Osbournes' withdrawal from the show. According to the new statement, "No communication to either inform or discuss this development has been made to the producers from Sharon Osbourne, her agent or her management and the producers are continuing as a matter of urgency to try to clarify the position." The producers go on to say that, should the Osbourne statement "prove to be true", they "will seek to replace" the mother and daughter, but there will be no refunds for theatregoers. The show will go on as planned from tomorrow night. The previously confirmed cast for the limited six-week season to 14 May 2005 also includes comedian Jenny Eclair.
The Vagina Monologues, subtitled "An Anthropological Exploration", reveals a series of different women's stories and experiences involving their genitalia. The material was gathered from hundreds of intimate interviews, conducted by Eve Ensler, in which women were asked probing questions such as "If it (your vagina) could talk, what would it say?". The author originally performed the monologues as a one-woman show.
During its previous 15-month West End run, when it moved back and forth between the New Ambassadors and Arts Theatres between May 2001 and October 2002, the Olivier-nominated production featured regularly refreshed three-strong companies, which attracted stars such as Trudy Styler, Ruthie Henshall, Loretta Swit, Jerry Hall, Pam Ferris, Jenny Eclair, Maureen Lipman, Edie Falco, Sophie Okenodo, Mariella Frostrup, Amy Irving, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Dannii Minogue, Kika Markham, Meera Syal, Sophie Dahl, Miriam Margolyes, Suzanne Bertish, Elizabeth McGovern, Nina Wadia, Helen Lederer, Lauren Ward, Lisa Stansfield, Celia Noble, Donna Air, Jackie Clune and Anita Dobson.
Since then, The Vagina Monologues has toured the UK extensively, often featuring similarly high-profile casts. The show has also become a global phenomenon with multiple productions in over 25 countries and continuing open-ended runs in New York and Paris.
Sharon Osbourne became a household name in her own right after the success of MTV's fly-on-the-wall show The Osbournes, which followed the daily ups-and-downs of life in heavy-metal veteran Ozzy's family (eldest child Aimee was the only one not to appear). Sharon was also a judge on reality TV talent contest X-Factor.
Since their newfound MTV fame, the family has faced numerous trials and tribulations. Sharon has battled cancer, and Ozzy had a near fatal quad bike accident. Last year, the British-born couple's Buckinghamshire mansion was burgled of an estimated £2 million's worth of jewellery, and last week they had to flee the same home after a fire.

If (when) they (the International Judaics) succeed in getting their current "Hate Crime" statuettes initiated on a federal level in America, this will be the beginning of the end for any criticism or scholarly debate on any matter that happens to regard a "Jewish" person. In the Tribulation this shall be a Capital Offence (execution) as it was in the USSR after the Jewish Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.
As a matter of record, our position here at WBSG is that even one Jewish death during WWII is too many. Even one death of anybody in WWII was too much (I speak of the forgotten eighty-nine million Christians who died during the conflict). But we also believe that it is wrong to lie about the facts for personal-gain reasons.
To find out WHY they lied, and do lie, see the below free E-book:
Did Six Million Really Die?...The Truth More Jews (3 1/3 million) filed for survivor compensation from West Germany after the war than were in all of German controlled Europe during the war (3 million). That doesn't even begin to try to account for the "exterminated" (six-million). Excerpt: "...how many of the 3 million European Jews under German control survived after 1945? .... the growing number of Jews claiming compensation from the West German Government for having allegedly suffered between 1939 and 1945. By 1965 the number of these claimants registered with the West German Government had tripled in ten years and reached 3,375,000 (Aufbau, June 30, 1965) ... Nothing could be a more devastating proof of the brazen fantasy of the Six Million. Most of these claimants are Jews, so there can be no doubt that the majority of the 3 million Jews who experienced the Nazi occupation of Europe remained, in fact, very much alive. It is a resounding confirmation of the fact that Jewish casualties during the Second World War can only be estimated at a fraction of 'Six Million'. Surely this is enough grief for the Jewish people? Who has the right to compound it with vast imaginary slaughter, marking with eternal shame a great European nation [Germany], as well as wringing fraudulent monetary compensation from them?"

I read Sunday's article about a political committee set up to promote the proposed half-cent sales tax increase.
If the committee talks only about money and school closings, the tax won't pass and the group's effort will have been wasted.
The committee will have to remind voters of the value that a healthy school system adds to the community. It will need to remind people that schools are where we build citizens, and where children learn the values we hold as Americans. ...

Sprint enables 4G LTE in 22 markets, brings total to 110 covered
updated 01:56 pm EDT, Mon June 17, 2013
Sprint still lags behind Verizon, AT&T for LTE coverage
Sprint has expanded its 4G LTE coverage in the United States. The addition of LTE to 22 more markets means that Sprint now covers a total of 110 areas, with the carrier also naming other locations that will have LTE access in the coming months, bringing it closer to its goal of covering 200 million people with its LTE network by the end of this year.
LTE has been activated in Napa, CA; Palatka, Sebring, Tampa, and Miami, FL; Dalton, GA; Warsaw, ID; New Orleans and Baton Rouge, LA; St. Joseph, Benton Harbor, Lansing, and East Lansing, MI; St. Cloud, MN; Raleigh, Dunn, and Henderson, NC; Clarksville and Kingsport, TN; Corsica, TX; Longview and Centralia, WA; and Fond du Lac, WI.
The list of markets that will get LTE in the future includes Grand Rapids, Allegan, Ann Arbor, Battle Creek, Flint, and Mount Pleasant, MI; Corpus Christi, Eagle Pass, and Laredo, TX; Oak Harbor and Aberdeen, WA; and Marshfield, Wisconsin Rapids, Watertown and Fort Atkinson, WI.
While increasing the number of markets covered by LTE to 110 is helpful to Sprint customers, the carrier still lags behind the 263 LTE markets operated by AT&T, and the 497 run by Verizon Wireless. Working with Dish Network or Softbank, whichever gains shareholder approval, could help the carrier speed up its rollout in the future.

Its too soon to prepare for my fall half, so the summer of rehab continues with base building. I'm enjoying this plan which cycles through hills, moderate runs, tempos, easy, and a longer run. Can you see what one factor was completely consistent over the past week?
Thurs - 4 miles, moderate pace. Heavy soaking rain.
Fri - warmup, 3 miles race pace, cool down. Rained throughout mile 3.
Sun - 5 miles, moderate pace. Rain, started just before mile 4.
Tues - 40 minutes at moderate pace. Light rain, started after about 20 mins.
Tomorrow (Wed) - warmup, speed work, cool down. 0% chance of rain. That's right. Zero.
Not my favorite kind of streak. Its been a difficult Spring and start of Summer here. Looking forward to running without rain tomorrow.
Have a great run today.
I don't get it. Does your training plan call for a lot of rains in the rain? What skills are you trying to develop?
Are you sure you're ready for a dry run? Don't over do it.
Life's a little better when we run.
Hope you have dry shoes for tomorrow!! don't forget your sun protection!
Peace, Love & RUN!!
Rain makes you tough!
HA. It looks like training for running in rain.
I don't think you will feel normal in dry weather.
Run on everyone.....................Steve
You need to explain to the weather man you said training, not raining.

I designed and developed the Riverside section of the Town Community site to serve as the template for all the communities that would later join the site. Town Connection is being built as a community based site where local residents, business, and government can interact with each other.
It needed to be clean and clear and help organize the three different communities. The design is held together with a 4 column grid. Because it's a community driven site the color scheme uses bright and inviting colors to communicate a welcoming, friendly, and casual environment.
The site was developed on WordPress with BuddyPress added for the social aspects and bbPress added for the forums.

The church in turn contacted Joseph Travers, a private investigator and pastor in Orange County who works with churches and charities; he discovered that Graf has a rap sheet that includes numerous civil judgments awarded against her after various people (including close friends) claimed she had ripped them off. More disturbingly, she also had two criminal convictions, one for grand theft and one for credit-card fraud (see our Navel Gazing blog post, "To Haiti With Love?" Jan. 28). Graf does not have a license from the state of California to operate a charity, and given her felony convictions, she might have a difficult time obtaining one.
The Weekly interviewed several of Graf's victims, all of whom expressed doubt about her intentions. "She is probably the world's greatest salesman," one of them claimed.
"She is so good," said another. "She has such great organizational skills. If she used them for good, she would be the most successful person around. But that'd be asking a table to turn into a chair."
Knowing Graf's "personality and her type of m.o., I would be really surprised if any of the clothes she's collecting actually make it to Haiti," remarked another source—some time before the containers reached Florida. "Someone needs to stop her from what she's doing before the same thing that happened to me happens to someone else."
* * *
To understand why people would say such terrible things about such a seemingly nice lady as Suzie Graf, begin with the story of her former best friend, who, like almost everyone else interviewed for this story, asked not to be identified by name. The woman in question grew up in Newport Beach, which is where she befriended Graf. In the early 1990s, Graf approached her and her brother, a successful Orange County businessman, with a plan to open a clothing store in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where they both loved to ski and where Graf and her husband had bought a house.
"Susan had a darling T-shirt store [in Newport Beach] and solicited us to open a store with her in Jackson Hole," she recalls. "She had great taste and knew how to market merchandise, so we decided to go in with her as an equal partner. Our initial investment was $25,000."
The woman's businessman brother, who also asked to remain anonymous, didn't know Susan well but had heard great things about her from his sister.
"She was one of my sister's best friends," the man explains. "I asked my sister, 'Do you believe in the business, and more important, do you trust her?' Long story short: We came to find out that this pretty significant sum of money we invested was getting squandered by Susan on pretty much everything but the business."
At first, it seemed like the store, Continental Divide Clothing, which opened in 1995, was going to be a sure-fire success. "It was really busy," Graf's former friend says. "Her husband is an incredible carpenter, and it was a beautiful store. We all contributed on different levels. What we agreed upon was that because I was in California and not an onsite partner, she would manage it."
Every other day, she recalls, Graf would fax sales information and other business-related information, a task she later handed over to a sales manager. But after a while, the faxes became less and less frequent; then they finally stopped altogether. "I wasn't getting information," she says. "I kept asking and asking, and this went on for months."
The woman figured Graf was simply busy and didn't harbor any suspicions about how her friend was running the business. On behalf of the store, and using her own credit rating, the woman had arranged for the store to have its own line of credit with American Express. The bills, which came from charges made by Graf, had to be paid by the end of every month. "I got a call that my credit card wasn't being paid and was already a few months late," the woman claims. "The charges were for things that had nothing to do with our business: dinners, hotels, inappropriate spending."
She called Graf, who apologized and promised to take care of the outstanding bills. But then the woman received a telephone call from a mutual friend in Jackson Hole who saw Graf at a fund-raiser. "She told me that Susan Graf said that I was writing checks from the business account for my own personal use and that Susan was very upset about it. I said, 'That's interesting because I don't even have a checkbook for that account. I have no access at all.'"
So she called Graf and demanded to see the bank statements. "Susan told me the dog ate them," she says. "I said, 'Susan, Susan: What's going on? Are you in trouble? Let's talk about this. 'I gave her the benefit of the doubt. But Susan got really quiet. She wasn't coming clean." At this point, the woman and her brother went to their bank and began examining the store's business records. "I found out she was writing checks for her daycare, to get her car fixed—all kinds of things."

EDINA, Minn. - Students in the Edina School District could be kicking off the school year before Labor Day starting this fall.
Administrators discussed the plan at an Edina School Board meeting on Wednesday. The plan would move the first day of classes to the week before Labor Day and eliminate the last week of school.
Administrators will make a recommendation to the board which will then vote on the plan next Monday.
"I think what we are looking for is how we can help students with the learning process," said Dr. Ric Dressen, Edina Schools Superintendent. "That's really what we want to take advantage of, that week at the beginning of the year versus the last week which runs into the middle of June."
Dressing says kids are more eager to get back into the swing of things in the fall. He also says it also gives teachers five extra days that fall prior to standardized testing done each year.
