Juan Pablo made the rounds during the hometown visits tonight, Feb. 24, on "The Bachelor." His first stop was in Kansas City, Mo., Nikki's hometown. The couple walked around town before ending up at Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue for some lunch, which Juan Pablo thoroughly enjoyed. Afterward, they went to a bar for some mechanical bull riding.
Nikki brought Juan Pablo over to her parents' house, where he met her dad, her mom, her two younger brothers, and her sister-in-law. The family sat down for dinner and toasted, and Nikki took her mom aside to talk. She told her she was in love with Juan Pablo, and they had a physical and mental connection. Her mom wondered if she meant it before telling her she wanted her to be happy and would support her. Meanwhile, Nikki's dad took Juan Pablo aside and asked what he saw in Nikki – he said her honesty, and it just felt right. Her dad didn't want Juan Pablo to propose if he didn't feel it. Both guys agreed they trusted Nikki to make the decision. They switched, and Nikki talked to her dad about the idea of becoming a mother. She felt she had a great example of parents, was shown a lot of love growing up, and has a lot of love to give. As Juan Pablo left, Nikki told him she was thinking all good things and nothing bad, but she still didn't tell him she loved him.
Next up was Andi, in her hometown of Atlanta. She took Juan Pablo to a shooting range, where it took him much longer to hit a bull's-eye than it took Andi. When they finished, they went over to Andi's parents' house, where Juan Pablo met her mom, dad, sister, and brother-in-law. They sat down and started talking about all of their dates and how long it took for Andi to get a one-on-one date. Over dinner, Andi's parents said they had been together for 30 years and got engaged six months after they started dating.
Andi's mom pulled Juan Pablo aside and asked what he found special about Andi. He said she is beautiful, smart, and has a quick mind. She wanted to see Juan Pablo dance, so we went and got Andi to show what they had learned…which gave Andi another chance to demonstrate her terrible dance skills. Things weren't as light-hearted when Juan Pablo sat down with Andi's dad – he asked Juan Pablo why he wanted to go on the show, and Juan Pablo wondered what Andi's dad would think if he proposed or if he would accept him and Camila into the family. Her dad asked Juan Pablo to reverse the roles, and he went on to say that he wouldn't answer him because he was dating three other people, and he wanted Juan Pablo to come to him and tell him she was the only one. Andi asked her sister if she saw her with Juan Pablo, and she said she didn't know. She hadn't gotten that feeling. Andi's dad told her he was concerned she would get hurt, and she said she and Juan Pablo get along really well and have fun together. Her dad wondered what would happen if Juan Pablo didn't choose Andi, so she told him she would deal with that then. Despite everything, Andi felt something she hadn't felt before and was very close to being in love with Juan Pablo.
Renee was so excited to be back home in Florida that she said she was ready to eat her son. (Calm down, Renee). She and Juan Pablo lounged at a little league field before Renee was finally reunited with Ben. (No eating involved). They watched Ben play baseball before Juan Pablo met Renee's mom, dad, and brother. While Renee tucked Ben in, Juan Pablo told Renee's brother he liked Renee because she knew exactly what she wanted. Juan Pablo told Renee's mom Renee was a great woman, and he wouldn't be sitting there if he didn't feel the two had chemistry. Renee told her mom she was happy and totally, madly, crazy in love with Juan Pablo. Renee's dad told her he could tell Juan Pablo was a great guy. As Juan Pablo left, Renee told him she wouldn't have brought him to meet her family and Ben if she didn't feel the way she felt. Just like Nikki, Renee couldn't tell Juan Pablo she loved him.
The last hometown date was Clare's, in Sacramento. They walked through a rose garden and sat down on a bench to chat. Clare talked about her dad, since this was the first time she was bringing a guy home since her dad passed away.
Juan Pablo then met Clare's mom, four of her sisters, and her brother-in-law. Over dinner, they talked about the dates Clare and Juan Pablo had gone on, and Clare talked to her sister, Madeline, alone. Madeline wondered what would happen if Juan Pablo proposed, and Clare said she would accept. Clare sat down with her mom and sister, Lara, and Lara kept saying things about their mom being traditional – Clare was frustrated, because she wanted to hear what her mom had to say for herself. Clare wanted them to trust and believe. Her sister got up and awkwardly stood to the side to supervise the conversation Clare had with their mom. Juan Pablo wanted to talk to Clare's mom, and her pushy sister Lara plopped herself down with them, even though Clare didn't want her to. Eventually, Lara left, and Clare's mom told Juan Pablo they would be very happy to have him in their family, and the two hugged.
Chris Harrison ushered in each of the final four ladies – of course, Nikki and Clare were placed next to each other and forced to stand alone before Andi and Renee arrived. Juan Pablo finally joined them and told them he felt privileged to have four amazing women in front of him and appreciated them opening their houses to him. He then offered roses to Nikki, Clare, and Andi, leaving Renee to finally go back home to her son. As Renee said her good-byes, Juan Pablo stood and cried and eventually walked her out.
Don't forget to watch the overnight dates tomorrow, on a special night at 8:00 p.m. EST/7:00 p.m. CST!

The Examiner welcomes Juliet / Jillian Burns. These names represent two sides of the same writer. As Juliet Burns, she writes historical erotic romance, and as Jillian Burns, she writes hot contemporary romances. Today, we're talking to her Jillian persona.
Welcome Jillian and please tell us if you consider yourself a romantic or just a darned imaginative writer.
I'm a romantic. I don't have as much imagination as I'd like. I use Google images a LOT to help me visualize my settings.
I'm sure imagination helps with your storylines. How many books did you write before selling your first one, and how did you deal with rejection?
Well, I sold the first book I wrote, which is unusual.
Very unusual—you're to be congratulated for that achievement. And it indicates that you must be talented.
But after that, it took me 3 more years to sell my second book. That was when I learned how to deal with rejection. To some degree, it always feels personal, but you have to tell yourself it's not; it's business. The worst rejection for me was after my editor really liked and encouraged a story and I revised it for her, then the senior editor ultimately rejected it. I had gotten my hopes up on that one, and I cried for a bit after that. The rest were a bummer, but I was able to move on and try a new story after those.
Did you have an agent for that first sale?
Do you have one now?
Nope. I have been able to sell to Harlequin just fine. I'm not sure that would be true with other publishers. Some won't even look at a submission if it didn't come from a literary agent. But I am too greedy to give anyone else 15% of my paycheck. I know that for some authors,
agents are indispensible.
Please tell us about your latest book.
It's another Blaze-my second—called SEDUCE AND RESCUE and is a sequel to last year's Blaze, LET IT RIDE. This is the story of Lt Col. Ethan Grady paying off his part of the bet made in the first book by getting a massage from a free-spirited aroma-therapist.
Interesting premise. Where did you get the idea for that story?
It's partially very loosely based on a movie called Sweet November with Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron, only with a happy ending for the couple.
Happy endings are required for romance novels! How did you decide on the personality for your heroine in SEDUCE AND RESCUE?
She was very much inspired by the character played by Charlize Theron in Sweet November, but she has her own quirks and back story and is also partially based on one of my favorite actresses, Amy Adams, in a movie called Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day.
Most of us don't run into villainous people in our real lives. What are some characteristics that make a believable villain in fiction?
It's all in the motivation. WHY is the villain doing what he does? In HIS/HER mind, he/she is the hero. The villain believes they have every right to kill, chase, kidnap, scare, bully, or whatever.
What is your latest writing news?
I have another Blaze coming out in March 2011 called PRIMAL CALLING about an Alaskan bush pilot who crashes in the wilderness with a travel channel celebrity, and I just contracted to write a novella in a Blaze anthology for next July 2011 called HOT SUMMER NIGHTS. I'm very excited to be in an anthology with such wonderful authors Lori Wild and Wendy Etherington.
Where can readers keep up with you on the internet these days?

RADNOR, Pa. (Feb. 24, 2010) — More than 60 students from Cabrini College and Saint Joseph's University held an Immigration Reform Rally at Cabrini on Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2010.
The students are members of the Justice for Immigrants campaign sponsored by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Catholic Relief Services (CRS).
The campaign is mobilizing dioceses, parishes, schools, colleges, and universities to educate populations about comprehensive immigration reform as a way to both secure the nation's borders and keep together immigrant families who are already in the U.S., and to provide a "path to citizenship" for those who are already contributing to the American economy.
Speakers included Candice Harris, advocacy coordinator for CRS Northeast, and student leaders from both colleges. It was fitting to hold the rally at Cabrini, since the college's namesake, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, is the patron saint of immigrants.
A group of Cabrini students, the CRS Ambassadors for Migration, collected postcards from classmates on immigration reform, which they will submit to senators and congressional representatives in Washington, D.C.

Smoking Ban Cuts Heart Attacks
In 2003, the town of Pueblo, Colorado passed a municipal law making work environments and public places smoke-free. Since that time, heart attacks have dropped by more than 40%. The CDC tracked hospitalizations for heart attacks and found in the 18 months before the ban there were 399 hospital admissions in Pueblo, but in a year and a half following the ban, heart attack admissions dropped to 237, a 41% decline; Reuters investigates.
Refreshing to hear, because just a year ago a report revealed the U.S. Congress was not doing enough to curb smoking. Saying many states are failing to take anti-smoking action, but meanwhile cigarette companies continue to spend billions to market tobacco products.
Promoting smoke-free initiatives can also save billions. This summer research by the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education showed that California saved $86 billion in healthcare costs, by investing a scant $1.8 billion in anti-smoking programs.

Terron Jones led all Lincoln players with 22 points. Denzel Mooney scored 11 points for the Lions.
With the win, Shaw advances to the quarterfinals to play Elizabeth City State University Thursday at 1pm. Elizabeth City State University defeated Saint Augustine's College in their first round game of the 2011 CIAA Tournament.

Solaris 10 @ AFCEA West
By John Clingan-Oracle on Jan 31, 2005
I'll be down in San Diego tomorrow at the convention center to talk about Solaris 10 at the Sun booth. There is plenty to talk about, that's for sure. My co-worker, another John, is installing the Container Demo, a Dtrace demo or two, as well as the Tomcat SMF bits running on the released bits of Solaris 10.
Question for all of you that have installed and worked with Solaris 10. What is \*your\* experience with Solaris 10? What has it allowed you to do that either you couldn't do before or has made your life easier, simpler or more effective? I'll give you a plug on the show floor if you want.

Texas Tech - Tulane Postgame Quotes
March 18, 2012
Recap | Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery
Postgame Quotes
Texas Tech vs. Tulane
WNIT Second Round – Sunday, March 18, 2012 – United Spirit Arena, Lubbock, Texas
Tulane Head Coach Lisa Stockton
Opening Statement
We didn't shoot the ball very well today and we were playing with an all-guard lineup at times. With our post players with fouls and Tiffany Dale going out, that was really a challenge for us. You think as a coach you prepare for everything but we just weren't prepared for that but I give a lot of credit because I think Texas Tech did a nice job. They took over on the boards and we did a good job for a good part of it but they took over and got a lot of second chance opportunities. They have a nice team and when you get behind it's really tough to come back.
On the threes
It wasn't necessarily our game plan. One thing we have done between the conference tournament is really attack and when we are balanced is try to take some shots. We probably took too many early. When we got those fouls, I think our guards tried to take too many. We don't live and die by the three but I think we probably took too many tonight.
On the play of Adesuwa Ebomwonyi
Our freshmen were the key to our success all year. Adesuwa had a great year. A little inconsistent at times but when she is like she was tonight – an energy player like that –she is so tough to match up with. I am really glad she was like that tonight because we would have really been in trouble. She moves really well without the ball and has great instincts. She was really a bright spot for us.
Texas Tech Head Coach Kristy Curry
On shutting down their top scorers
When you look at Grayson, I think she has shot nearly 150 shots more than anybody else on the team (this season) and we really wanted to limit her touches. I think we did a great job of being aggressive against Benzio and they did a great job of being aggressive on our inside game as well. We kind of knew coming in that we neutralized each other there at times. Blagg (Danielle) is really a lot better than she played today but we really made it difficult for her. We guarded her a lot like we did Fussell (Chassidy Fussell of Texas)so it's great for our kids to be able to draw from some experiences where we have had some success against some shooters like that. If you can take away that first, second and third option, you can give yourself some confidence on the defensive end.
What's Working For Your Team Right Now
I liked our poise. I thought at times in both games we had a chance to go one way or the other and I thought the kids really stuck together and communicated well. The poise that we are showing at times is really an improvement. We have been really pleased with us making a stop, making a play, making a good decision on both ends of the floor.
On playing well late in the game
Better communication. Better leadership. All five being on the same page on both ends of the floor and continuing to grow and improve that. The margin for error and mistake is so incredibly small in any game. Basketball is a game of mistakes and the team that makes the fewest is often going to be the most successful. The difference in the game was the boards in the second half. At halftime it was 18-18 and 15-15 the last game. We came back out and did a great job on the glass.
On her aggressiveness
I made some dumb mistakes but I can't let that change the way I play. My teammates told me to keep going in, keep rebounding and keep playing aggressive so that's what I did.
What have you been working on the most the last few weeks
Just trying to help my team any way that I can. The team and coaches have shown a lot of confidence in me the whole year and in the times I was in the trenches and not playing so well, they continued to show that confidence. I just want to keep playing well and improve in every aspect of my game.
On being in control the entire game
We just tried to be aggressive offensively. From the get go, setting the tone and the tempo. I thought the crowd was great for a spring break WNIT game and it was awesome feeding off their energy. Just coming out with that confidence and encouragement and getting it from the get-go.
How much confidence does the team have right now
We just try to have a short term memory like we have all season and take this and grow and learn from it and move on. We want to take the things we were able to be successful with today to the next game.
How important is it for you senior season to extend on
For it to end would mean we would have to lose which is not what any of us want to do. It would be nice to go out on a high note so we want to keep this going as long as we can.

College Hockey:On Wisconsin! Badgers Win First NCAA Title
Vetter, Zaugg lead Wisconsin to 3-0 win over WCHA rival Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS — For the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the third time was most definitely not the charm.
Second-best to Wisconsin in the WCHA regular season chase and the WCHA championship game, the Gophers (29-10-1) gave everything they had in pursuit of a third straight NCAA title, but their growing rivals had their number once again.
Sophomore Jinelle Zaugg scored twice and freshman Jessie Vetter stopped 31 shots as Wisconsin (35-4-1) defeated Minnesota 3-0 and won the NCAA championship before a Mariucci Arena crowd of 4,701, the second-largest in NCAA final history.
"We had to dethrone the defending champions in their own backyard," said Wisconsin coach Mark Johnson, who also won a national championship as a Badgers player in 1977. "That's never an easy task. We got some timely power play goals and had a solid effort in net, and that combination gives you an opportunity to win any game."
On the power play, Wisconsin jumped out to a 1-0 lead at the mid-point of the first period. A shot from the point by Bobbi-Jo Slusar was directed to the right by Minnesota goaltender Brittony Chartier, but the Badgers had both Cyndy Kenyon and Jinelle Zaugg sitting right there on the doorstep. Kenyon could not get the puck on her stick, but she still managed to kick it cleanly to Zaugg, whose one-timer found the back of the net.
"When we're on the power play, we're just trying to get the puck on net," said Slusar. "Something's going to happen when you put the puck on net, and more often than not it's going to help you put it in even if you can't do it yourself."
"It was a great shot," said Zaugg. "It got [Chartier] out of position and I just took it off of a skate and that was it."
Just 30 seconds later, the Wisconsin attack again found the back of the net. A slow moving shot by senior Nikki Burish was redirected in the slot by Grace Hutchins, who pulled the puck upwards with her stick and sent it into a high arc. Chartier could not catch the shot, as it went to her high glove side and gave the Badgers a 2-0 lead.
Zaugg's second goal of the game was scored on the advantage halfway through the second. Shortly after taking a pass from Kazmaier Award winner Sara Bauer, Zaugg moved to the left faceoff circle and zipped the puck past Chartier, again high glove side, for the 3-0 lead.
Minnesota refused to quit even while facing the daunting deficit and continued to attack throughout the second half of the game, but freshman netminder Jessie Vetter continued to stand strong.
"[Vetter] saw most of our shots today," said Minnesota junior captain Andrea Nichols. "The ones she didn't see got cleared away by her D."
One of Minnesota's best opportunities came on a two-on-one breakaway five minutes into the third, but Vetter stayed calm and stoned Allie Sanchez in front of the crease to maintain the shutout. Even with time running out in the third period, Minnesota's tenacious third line continued to press for a goal, but Vetter's sixth sense seemed to kick in, eventually stopping two shots from flat on her back with under two minutes to play.
For her efforts in leading Wisconsin to two straight shutouts on the weekend, Vetter was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament, the first freshman and first goaltender to be given the honor in the history of the Frozen Four.
"We knew we weren't going to be scoring any goals late with a three-goal lead," said Vetter. "Even with everything they were sending at us, it's definitely a lot easier keeping your cool with a three-goal lead than a one-goal lead. We were all focused on defense at that point."
"The first save of every period always helps get me focused for the rest of the game," she added.
Special teams played a decisive role in the outcome of the game. Wisconsin cashed in on two of their four power play opportunities, while Minnesota was scoreless in five chances on the advantage.
"Goals bring a lot of energy to a team at this time of the year," said Johnson. "We gave them plenty of opportunities, but we knew that if they'd scored at any time during the game, it would have let them back in no matter what the score was."
Minnesota was denied the opportunity to become only the third program in the history of college hockey to win three straight national titles. Only Michigan's men of 1951-53 and Minnesota-Duluth's women of 2001-03 can claim this feat. Coupled with the loss this weekend on the men's side, it also marks the first year since 2001 in which Minnesota failed to win a national championship in ice hockey.
"There were definitely some nerves coming in," said Minnesota coach Laura Halldorson. "The UNH game [Friday night] was unbelievable, but we just didn't have enough left in the tank to beat the Badgers. Their power play was really the dagger."
"There's still a whole lot to be proud of this season," said sophomore Bobbi Ross, whose four-goal effort on Friday helped put the Gophers in the national title game. "We accomplished so much more than anyone thought we would. We lost a lot coming into the year, but we replaced raw talent with strength and unity to get to where we are today."
The championship was Wisconsin's first in ice hockey since the men's triumph in 1990. The Badgers became only the fifth team to win a national championship in women's hockey, and only the third to win an NCAA title. The victory was the 36th of the season for Wisconsin, which ties the squad with the 2004-05 Gophers for the most wins in a single season.
"One of our goals was to make a name for Wisconsin hockey," said Zaugg. "Now we're the new 'State of Hockey.'"

According to Tuesday's KHON 2 News, a senior dog who was adopted from the Hawaiian Humane Society last weekend, was promptly offered for sale in a Craigslist ad by her new owner.
Little Sally Mae, a 10-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, hit what seemed to be a homeless dog "jackpot" on Sunday when she was adopted by a woman...unfortunately, on the very same day, dreams of a happily-ever-after were dashed when the new owner offered Sally Mae for sale on Craigslist. The woman claimed that she did not have time to care for the senior dog.
Adding insult to injury, the new owner seemed to want to turn a profit on the newly acquired dog; the price in the advertisement was $200 and the original fee to adopt was a mere $85. According to Hawaii News Now, the advertisement also stated that Sally Mae was only five-years-old, not her true age of ten years.
Following the discovery of the ad, Christina Kam, Hawaiian Humane Society's communications and event coordinator, expressed disappointment over the Craigslist ad:
"It's really disappointing to think that animals are really seen as a commodity versus your loving pet that's part of your family so that's really hard for us,"
According to Hawaii News Now, Sally Mae's owner did eventually reach out to the shelter and she let them know that Sally Mae did not initially fit in, but now, they want to try and make it work; the woman was surprised that the ad upset so many people.
The shelter currently does not have any policies in place to prevent new adopters from offering their pet for sale...following this incident, that may change.

The season finale of "The Vampire Diaries" is coming up quickly which means that there are a lot of spoilers circulating the Internet. On April 24, Alloy Entertainment posted the synopsis for the final episode, "Home." It sounds like it is going to be intense and explosive.
There are still a few episodes that need to air before the season finale, but the synopsis reveals some clues on what to expect. For one, it says that Damon is going to be heartbroken over an unexpected tragedy and will try to hold himself together. On the last episode, Enzo died and spoilers for the upcoming "What Lies Beneath" reveal that Stefan and Elena are going to keep that death a secret from the Salvatore brother, but Damon suspects they are hiding something. Could the unexpected tragedy Damon will deal with have to do with Enzo's death?
Also, Bonnie will continue to try to find a way to stop the Other Side from falling apart. However, time may be running out because the conditions over there are getting worse. She will decide to take an opportunity to settle an old score.
In "The Vampire Diaries" season 5, episode 22, Elena is going to take control by demanding that Liv and Luke help her. However, Liv will not do it until Caroline gives her some "personal motivation." Speaking of Caroline, she has feelings for someone, but those feelings will cause tension between her and a friend. When season 6 airs, she will make a move, TV Line reported.
As for the Travelers, things don't look good for Mystic Falls. The sheriff is going to be horrified when Markos gets violent with Tyler. He wants to prove that the town is under the control of the Travelers. The sheriff will give some information to Damon, which helps him create a plan. However, this plan is dangerous and depends on split-second timing from Jeremy and Matt.
The synopsis also reveals that Damon's plan causes a massive explosion. Everyone is going to get caught up in the confusion and while there will be despair, there will also be heroism, sacrifice and relief. One of the promotional photos for "Home" shows Damon sitting on the hood of his car, staring towards Mystic Falls. Is he staring at the remains of the town after the explosion? Will the town be completely destroyed? Paul Wesley told TV Guide,
"[The finale] definitely establishes new parameters in the environment we'll be shooting in Season 6. They reset things in a way, and the writers have the ability to now change the circumstances and locations of where the show takes place."
Could the new circumstances and locations be a result of the town being blown up? Will Bonnie be able to stop the Other Side from disintegrating? Will the Travelers be dealt with once and for all? Fans will have to wait for "The Vampire Diaries" season 5 finale to air to find out. The CW will be showing that episode on May 15.

Who are we? That depends if you want to know what we do by day, or by night. Let's leave the "by night' part out for now. Simply put, we're team of entrepreneurs - engineers and marketers, focused on building the absolute best, simple and South Asian Dating site ever.
Aren't we all tired of the "fob" matrimonial sites? Rather than conform and complain about the norm, we decided to take the South Asian Dating scene by storm. Please note, sometimes we rhyme without shame.
So, where is our Bat cave? TwoMangoes is currently based out of Toronto, San Francisco, and New York City. But, we're hoping to expand to other super cool locations- London, Dubai, Singapore, Sydney, etc., etc.!
Wanna stalk us/check us out? Find us on Twitter, Facebook, blog or drop us a line (email email@example.com)! And maybe even consider joining us?
Jas Banwait - Social Mango
As the TwoMangoes Social Mango, Jas is our Social Media maven and world traveler. She spends her life on Facebook, Twitter and blogs about dating (often based on true stories, but don't tell her we said that!). Basically, she works too much. Don't worry though, she knows how to get her party on, like they say: "you haven't partied, till you've partied with a social mango."
Anil Jasuja - Event Mango
Anil is the action hero of the mango clan. He spends his time traveling the world and spreading mangoes. His talents include high jumping, break dancing, and making friends.
Daniel Ashwin Pillai - Bollywood Mango
Daniel is the main man when it comes to Communications and Media Relations for TwoMangoes. He knows more about Bollywood than your grandmother and sweet auntie combined. He blogs about Indian pop culture while arranging Skype chats with VIP's like Priyanka Chopra.
Reena Mumbai - Mumbai Mango
Reena functions as our resident big mouth. She blogs about relationships, friendships, and any other "ship" she sees fit. She also hosts her own podcast called "The Mumbai Talkies", which you can check out here at TwoMangoes and Reena.me
Amulya Raja - Project Mango
Amulya is our human task manager and project organizer. Not only does she keep the team together, she also force feeds us exotic foods at lunch time. She is little but packs a mean punch, so we advise that you don't mess with her, most especially in the dance category.
Joshua Marchon - Business Mango
Joshua makes sure TwoMangoes is the first thing you find when you look for an Indian dating site on the internet.

Paras Dharamshi - Strategic Mango
Paras' experience with prior online websites gives him the knowledge to plan our strategy and run the analytics. He finds the data, analyzes it, strategizes, and then, saucerizes. What is saucerizing? It means he's a mean chef, and we like to take FULL advantage of that.
Anita Dharamshi - Marketing Mango
Anita could also be called "Mother Mango", because, really, she makes sure we all tie our shoes correctly and don't run with scissors. When she's not taking care of us, she takes care of the marketing and strategic partnerships for TwoMangoes. If that sounds like two jobs, it is! We're not sure how she does it all!
Rahul Bhardwaj - Product Mango
Responsible for TwoMangoes' Product Design and Engineering, Rahul mostly runs around the office, like this dude. Jokes aside, Rahul is the momentum and energy behind TwoMangoes, and he makes sure that, above all, everyone feels appreciated.

We get our kicks out of hooking people up, and if we may, we are REALLY good at it. So if you're single join us! Otherwise, please help spread the word because TwoMangoes is South Asian dating done right, bar none!

Congratulations to all the Feb. 22, 2014 Powerball winners! Check your tickets now. You could be one of the lucky lottery winners. The Powerball winning numbers are 2, 3, 13, 14, 54, and the red Powerball number is 4.
Saturday's drawing produced 450,710 Powerball winners, but unfortunately no one was lucky enough to match all six Powerball winning numbers and take home the $40 million jackpot check. The good news is the jackpot rolled over and is now worth a whopping $50 million for the next drawing.
Congrats to the Powerball Lottery Winners!
Surprisingly, there were no $2 million Power Play winners in the Feb. 22 drawing either. Fortunately, there was one (1) Match 5 + 0 Powerball winner that managed to win $1 million from the New York Lottery. The $1 million Powerball winner matched five out of six Powerball winning numbers, but not the red Powerball number for the second-tier prize. Had the New York Powerball winner spent an extra dollar on the Power Play option, their prize would have instantly doubled from $1 million to $2 million. Better luck next time!
Additionally, there were seventeen (17) Match 4 + 1 winners for $10,000 each in the Feb. 22 drawing. Five (5) of those Powerball winners purchased the Power Play option which instantly increased their prize to $50,000. Each winner matched four out of five Powerball winning numbers, AND the red Powerball number for the third-tier prize.
The largest Powerball jackpot in lottery history was for $590.5 million. One Florida Powerball winner matched all six Powerball winning numbers, including the red Powerball number for the Saturday, May 18 drawing. Read the article Florida Powerball lottery winner Gloria MacKenzie claims massive $590M jackpot for more details.
When is the Next Powerball Drawing?
According to the Florida Lottery, the next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Feb. 26 at 10:59 p.m. EST. Wednesday's estimated jackpot is an incredible $50 million annuity, or $28.2 million for a one-time cash lump-sum payment. Both options are before taxes. The Powerball winning numbers are drawn live Wednesday and Saturday evenings at 10:59 p.m. EDT in Florida. The Powerball game is played in 43 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets cost $2 each, and another $1 for the Power Play option which could instantly multiply your prize winnings.
California Powerball lottery winner matches Powerball winning numbers for $425M jackpot
Latest Mega Millions Results
The most recent Mega Millions winning numbers for Feb. 21, 2014, were 23, 29, 32, 45, 46, the Mega Ball number is 15, and the Megaplier is X 5. There were no one jackpot winners for this drawing. Read the article Mega Millions winning numbers Feb. 21: Pennsylvania, Virginia lottery winners for more information.

Nissan Frontier vs. Toyota Tacoma
Nissan's Frontier shares more than looks with its corporate pickup and SUV brethren. It's built in Smyrna, Tennessee, on the corporate F-Alpha platform; common among the Armada, Pathfinder, Titan, and Xterra. Final official specs on the 2008 Frontier were not available at press time, though it's suggested no major changes are in line this time around.
Meanwhile, over in Fremont, California, the Toyota Tacoma is built to similar scale and toughness. The latest Tacoma sees no real changes over 2008, except for a price bump and EPA mileage ratings reflecting the agency's industry-wide attitude adjustment toward mileage ratings (again, the Nissan's numbers weren't officially published, so we estimated). As ever, the appealing Tacoma is available in a variety of cab, engine and transmission combinations.
So here we have two solid pickups carrying over largely untouched for 2008. As we discovered, that's a mixed blessing. We evaluated each pickup on several fixed and weighted criteria. The perfect truck would haul away a 100-point score, if that were to happen. Did it? Read on…
Nissan Frontier SE 4x4 King CabMSRP (est.): $22,650
Engine: 4.0-liter DOHC V6
Horsepower: 261 bhp @ 5,600 rpm
Torque: 281 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm
MPG (est.): City: 16; Highway: 20
Performance - 13/20
Acceleration and handling of the Frontier is surprisingly competent and easily keeps up with traffic, with towing capacity that rivals the big boys. Nissan's powerful six-cylinder is standard in the SE, which most buyers would pay extra for anyway. Either way, it allows 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 6.8 seconds with the standard six-speed manual — more than enough scoot to merge onto busy highways with confidence. Maximum payload is rated at 1,383 pounds, but the real wowsers are the Frontier's maximum trailer weight and maximum trailer tongue weight at 6,300 and 11,133 pounds, respectively.
Exterior Design - 14/20
Since 2005, the Frontier has adopted the styling cues of sibling Nissan trucks/SUVs. This may not be exceptionally inspiring, but it's not bad either. The Frontier may have been designed to carry on the aggressive look of its kin, which it sort of pulls off, but more than anything it looks contemporary and stylish.
Find out how Nissan did with the rest of our breakdown...

Gonzo to Get Pass on Grand Jury Referral; Prosecutor to be Named
"Not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime," said AG Michael Mukasey last month, referring to alleged wrongdoing by Monica Goodling, Kyle Sampson and others linked to the U.S. Attorney firing scandal. Today, according to reports, Mukasey's words will hold true for at least one person — his predecessor, Alberto Gonzales.
In a report to be released today by DOJ Inspector General Glenn Fine and Office of Professional Responsibility Director H. Marshall Jarrett, Gonzales will not be referred to a federal grand jury for his alleged role in the 2006 firings of nine U.S. attorneys. Though the report will apparently "recommend that a prosecutor continue to probe the involvement of lawmakers and White House officials in the episode," according to the WaPo. Here's another report from the NYT.
"We are gratified that the report apparently verifies . . . that Judge Gonzales's action in the removal of certain U.S. Attorneys was proper and appropriate," said Gonzales's lawyer, George J. Terwilliger III.
Despite an intense, 18-month review, writes the Post, the "effort to determine how the firing plan originated and whether perjury or obstruction-of-justice laws were violated in refusing to reveal the basis for the dismissals has been thwarted, partly because investigators lack the power to compel testimony from people outside the department" — such as former aide Monica Goodling, who came under fire for the sackings in an earlier IG report.
As for the probe, sources told the WaPo that Mukasey is preparing to name a prosecutor from within the department.
UPDATE: Mukasey has named Nora R. Dannehy, acting U.S. attorney in Connecticut, to oversee the new probe, which Mukasey said would ultimately "determine whether any prosecutable offense was committed with regard to the removal of a U.S. Attorney or the testimony of any witness related to the U.S. Attorney removals." Here's the WSJ report. Prior to joining the DOJ, Dannehy (Wellesley, Harvard law) clerked for U.S. District Judge T. Emmet Clarie, and then was an associate at Day, Berry & Howard.

Many students admit to using cell phones in class to cheat.
Filed Under Behaviour Management, positive climate, Web 2.0 tools and technologies
Ever wondered just how much cheating goes on in classrooms using cell phones ? LoL, and to think I didn't think it was much of a problem.
According to a poll of students in grades 7-12 conducted by Common Sense Media (great name by the way)
- 35 percent of teens with cell phones admit to cheating at least once with them
- 26 percent said they store information on their phone to look at during a test
- 25 percent text friends about answers during a test
- 17 percent took pictures of the test to send to friends
- 20 percent search the internet for answers during tests using their phones
- 65 percent said others in their school cheated with them
- 48 percent of teens with cell phones call or text their friends to warn them about pop quizzes
- 52 percent admit to some form of cheating involving the internet
- 21 percent of students say they've downloaded a paper or report from the internet to turn in
- 38 percent have copied text from web sites and turned it in as their own work
- 32 percent have searched for teachers' manuals or publishers' solutions to problems in textbooks they are currently using
The joke is really on me because I've been saying that I think cell phones could be very useful tools in the classroom. Obviously they are- in ways different than I ever imagined. What's even more shocking is that many students said that they didn't see a problem with these types of behaviours.
Cheating not a problem? The Common Sense Media suggests that there is a
huge need for a national discussion on the concept of digital ethics. Kids have always found ways to cheat in school, but the tools they now have at their disposal are more powerful than ever. Just as they need to be taught the rules of right and wrong in the offline world, kids should have a similar set of guidelines for good online behavior, and it's our responsibility as parents and leaders to start talking about them.
There's nothing more common sense than that!

I say if we change the way we test them on materials they will be less likely to cheat. Ever notice an open notebook test can be harder?

Good point. I give open book tests all the time and some kids still do poorly.
What would those questions look like?

I found this article on StumbleUpon, and it's interesting. I have two thoughts; I'm not convinced they're correct, but it's interesting to think about:
1. Kids that use their cellphones to cheat would cheat just as readily using more old-fashioned methods. The underlying issue isn't that cell phones make kids cheat; it's that these kids think it's alright in the first place.
2. A large majority of kids don't see a problem with looking up information during a test because they recognize an irony that the old-fashioned education system doesn't: it's ridiculous to artificially limit what resources kids have available to them by mandating that internet-able cellphones are unusable during tests. For the rest of these students' lives they will have mobile devices that can retrieve huge amounts of information with speed and efficiency that would've been unobtainable in the past. Doesn't this indicate we should update our education system to take advantage of this near-ubiquitous access of information? Would a student not display a greater intelligence if he or she was able to use the resources available to construct a more complete and accurate argument than he could create while under unrealistic conditions? (I'm not arguing that students should be allowed to look up lists of answers.)

You make some great points here. I'm always puzzled by the fact that some kids think it's OK to cheat. I've called home to parents to tell them about the cheating, and it seemed to me after talking to them that some parents think it's Ok to cheat but not Ok to get caught. I find that amazing. As for the education system -it's the tail leading the donkey.
Dan on
July 16th, 2009 2:09 pm
I don't think I ever knew students who thought it was OK to cheat, but I knew some in high school that only worried about being caught.
It's slightly off-topic, but it might be worth noting that even Sonia Sotomayor seems to think it's not a big deal: "'My brother and I plagiarized many a school report from [The Encyclopedia Britannica], but I can remember the enormous financial burden that purchase placed on my mother,' Judge Sotomayor recalled in 1998." A Judge's Own Story Highlights Her Mother's, Scott Shane; NYTimes May 27th, 2009. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/28/us/politics/28mother.html
Perhaps it's quite common these days? I imagine it's heavily influenced by the quality of the school district.

Maybe its time we change our educational system from a teach and test philosophy to a finding the answers philosophy. Then we don't worry about cheating but incorporate all this great technology to help kids find answers to solve problems. Wouldn't that better prepare them for the world of the 21st century?

We definitely need to change the education sytem. Everyone seems to agree. Why are we not doing this?

The simple fact is that school and the education system are designed to incourage students to ACTUALLY KNOW information. If we take that away and let children believe that its ok to not retain information thenwe will not only be doing them a dis-service, we will be sabotaging thier futures.Yes it is true that everyone outside the classroom has the ability to look up virtually anything on the internet, but we are talking about the precious years when a persons develpoment depends on KNOWING information not just being able to look it up. i mean just look at the negative impact the calculator has had on our society. there are kids that can not even perform simple math without one. Yes use technology as a teaching aid,inform students about the technology but DO NOT USE IT AS A COP OUT. thank you for your time.

The Director General designate of the HSE, Mr Tony O'Brien, has said that he is available to meet Mr Praveen Halappanavar, and that it was his preference that Mr Halappanavar should meet Galway hospital probe Chairman, Prof Sir Sabaratnam Arulkumaran.
"I am hopeful that he may find it possible to participate in the review. I believe that if he were to do so, that that would be in the best interests of all concerned," said Mr O'Brien.
Gerard O'Donnell, solicitor for Praveen Halappanavar, has commented that Mr Halappanavar has made it clear that he has absolutely no confidence in the HSE or anybody who may be engaged by the HSE, to investigate the circumstances surrounding his wife's death. There could only be one purpose in Mr Halappanavar meeting Prof Sir Sabaratnam Arulkumaran, in Mr O'Donnell's view. "That would be to prevail upon him to engage in a private enquiry, which we are not prepared to do."
Mr O'Donnell said a sworn public inquiry was now sought. A very short period – seven days from when Mrs Halappanavar first went into the hospital until her tragic and untimely death – would be covered by the inquiry, he said. "I fail to see why it should take any length of time and I fail to see why it should take long to establish. It is within the remit of the Dáil to nominate a High Court Judge and to set out the terms of reference."
Mr Halappanavar will only be happy with an inquiry where there are witnesess called, where there is evidence taken under oath and where there is cross examination, added the solicitor.
"In the context of an absolute obligation I have to ensure that these matters are investigated to the greatest extent possible. Clearly my aim and hope is that Mr Praveen Halappanavar and other members of his family who have knowledge of this, will assist us in the inquiry," O'Brien said. "My primary aim is to secure that. As things stand, we are waiting to see whether he will be in a position to meet with the Chairman, Prof Sir Sabaratnam Arulkumaran. We have to be sensitive to Mr Halappanavar's current position."
The Investigation Team "initiated contact" with Mr Halappanavar's legal representatives and will engage with him as part of the investigation process, the HSE had pledged. Three Galway based doctors have stood down from the Inquiry team.
Prof Sir Sabaratnam Arulkumaran is Head of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Deputy Head of Clinical Sciences at St George's University of London. He is also the President of the International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The final report of the Investigation Team will be provided to the HSE's National Director of Quality and Patient Safety, Dr Philip Crowley.

For fans of the seminal horror anthology "Tales From The Darkside," the news that "Star Trek"/"Sleepy Hollow" producers Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman were bringing the show back for The CW seemed like a dream (or nightmare) come true. Add in critically acclaimed author Joe Hill shepherding the project, and things only got better from there.
But first, a few corrections on those previous news stories:
"Well, for starters, the show is just called 'Darkside,' " Hill told MTV News via e-mail. "And it really is a reinvention, not a reboot. My feeling is, in the wake of shows like 'The X-Files' and 'Fringe,' the days when you could do a straightforward horror anthology are over."
Hill describes the new show as a "descendant, not a reanimation," adding that while he is writing the pilot, if the show does get picked up, he'll be more of a "curator" than a lead writer due to commitments writing novels.
That doesn't mean the show won't embrace some of the anthology aspects of the original. In particular, "Darkside" will still draw on short stories for some of its structure and plots. Hill notes the creators have already discussed authors Neil Gaiman, Kelly Link, and C. Robert Cargill, though no official offers have gone out. "I would love if director Amanda Boyle could remake Pop Art' at the 22-minute length, but that's just an idle thought," Hill added, citing a short film made from one of Hill's own short stories.
Speaking of connections to the past, the reboot has a surprisingly deep history, not just with the original but also with Hill. In 1982, legendary director George A. Romero and writer Stephen King created an anthology film titled "Creepshow." The movie spawned interest in a TV series, but because Warner Brothers owned rights to the name, Romero created "Tales From The Darkside."
Nearly three decades later, Hill was approached by "Tales From The Darkside" Producer Mitchell Galin, and asked to write a pilot for a reboot of the show. After Hill had sketched out a rough script, he showed it to Kurtzman, who had produced a TV pilot for Hill's comic "Locke & Key" and is currently working on the movie version of the same.
"Alex got excited and said he had a deal with CBS and CW and if Mitchell was okay with it, he wanted to help it get made," Hill said. "That was kind of a no-brainer. Alex and Bob tell the right kind of genre stories, heartfelt, character driven adventures full of one-of-a-kind moments. Everything they bring to the table is right for 'Darkside'."
Oh, and here's the kicker that brings everything full circle: Joe Hill is Stephen King's son.
"I don't know about passing any torch, but " 'Creepshow' is the reason I said yes," Hill said. "'Creepshow' is also, in an odd way, the reason for 'Locke & Key' (the comic, not the unreleased pilot). I, uh, had a small part in the original film, and fell for my first rock star: Tom Savini."
Though the show is clearly still very much a work in progress, Hill says the 2014 premiering project will have 11 to 13 episodes, "unless the pilot sucks, in which case I would expect zero episodes."
In the meantime, Hill, Orci, and Kurtzman are still hard at work bringing their other property, "Locke & Key," to the screen; though that prospect won't be easy.
"It's been snared in an endless series of contractual negotiations. Universal took a long, long time to come through with an acceptable contract for myself and IDW," said Hill. "Now they're dealing with a bureaucracy as labyrinthine and implacable as their own: FOX TV. Uni wants to avoid spending $25 million on a movie, and then have FOX steal their thunder by releasing a three-year-old pilot.
"FOX wants to see some coin on all the money they sank into the pilot in the first place. The lawyers all have to validate their salaries. That said, Alex and Bob are the two most tenacious people I've ever met, and if anyone can see 'Locke & Key' through the contractual maze, and on into production, it's them.
"Of course all this could've been avoided if FOX had just made the series. I know I'm biased, but I kinda think they bet on the wrong ponies that season."
Those ponies? "Terra Nova," "Alcatraz," and "The Finder," all three of which were cancelled after a season. Only time will tell if "Darkside" repeats history, and if it does, whether it will mirror the fate of "Locke & Key" or the original "Tales From The Darkside." Until then, try to enjoy the daylight.

Dr. John: Iko Iko
Iko Iko

Dr. John's Gumbo (Atco 7006)

Composed by James "Sugarboy" Crawford.
Recorded: Van Nuys, California, no date given (album released in 1972)
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
Sugar Boy and the Cane Cutters recorded this song in the early 1950s, with Professor Longhair holding down the piano chair. But Dr. John staked his own claim to ownership of "Iko Iko" at the Van Nuys session for his 1972 release Dr. John's Gumbo, where he delivered a modern-day classic of New Orleans music. The good doctor brings out all of the contradictions submerged in this style of performance. "Iko Iko" is loose and tight at the same time, on the beat and off, hot and cool - and, most important of all, has "Party" written all over it with a capital P. But before you get out on the dance floor, check out the ingredients here - in particular the drum part, which demonstrates how an old-school march beat can morph into a tasty funk groove.
You don't really need to know what "Iko Iko" means to enjoy it, but a grad student could spend a month deciphering the Creole patois and the song's various significations. The tune was originally recorded under the name "Jock-A-Mo" - which means jester. A "spy dog" is a lookout. Marraine is a godmother, etc. But even the composer claims he was just imitating phrases he had picked up from Mardi Gras Indians, and didn't really know what they meant. He thought it was some sort of victory chant. Works for me. Next time you come up on the winning side - in the office football pool, with pocket aces in a hand of Texas hold 'em, with a lottery ticket from the convenience store - try it out: Jockomo feena nay.

HTC One will import iPhone backups
HTC is clearly focusing a lot on software features to differentiate its recently announced One smartphone in the cutthroat high-end part of the market. This is obvious from the company's work in areas such as the camera (and its Zoe feature / service) as well as the new Sense experience overall and the BlinkFeed scrolling news aggregator it comes with.
But HTC isn't going to stop there. The Taiwanese company is working on improving its HTC Sync Manager desktop client. The new version of this app, which is currently being developed, will allow you to import iPhone backups into your HTC One.
Yes, you read that right. HTC's Sync Manager will get the ability of reading iTunes backups, and sifting through those for all the photos, videos, calendar entries, and text messages it can find. Those are then automagically transferred to your HTC One.
This will undoubtedly make switching from an iPhone to the HTC One as seamless as possible. In fact, the process has never been so easy. Of course you'll still have a lot of manual searching for apps to do, but this is a great start for HTC.
Right now it's unclear if the new version of Sync Manager will work on both PCs and Macs, but the current one does, so we assume the next-gen one will too.

PURPOSE: To delineate the disease course and prognosis of patients with mass lesions of the fourth nerve presumed to be schwannomas. DESIGN: Nonrandomized retrospective case series. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-seven consecutive cases of presumed trochlear nerve schwannoma from 9 tertiary university neuro-ophthalmology centers. METHODS: Cases were collected, and their clinical characteristics on presentation and follow-up are described. Inclusion criteria were brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a lesion suggestive of a schwannoma along the course of the fourth nerve. Exclusion criteria were other causes of fourth nerve palsy, such as congenital, traumatic or microvascular; normal (or lack of) initial brain MRI; lack of adequate clinical information; and disappearance of the lesion on subsequent follow-up brain MRI. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Demographics of patients, presence of neurofibromatosis, symptoms on presentation, vertical deviation, lesion size (on presentation and follow-up), length of follow-up, and outcomes of treatment for lesions or diplopia. RESULTS: Seven patients were excluded and of the 30 patients included in our series, patients were predominantly male (77%) with a mean age of 51 years (range 9-102 years). In contrast with prior case reports, almost all of our cases had a fourth nerve palsy on presentation (29/30), often isolated. Mean follow-up was 3.1 years (range 0.2 months to 11.1 years). There was no significant difference between initial and follow-up lesion size (4.4 vs. 5 mm) for patients who did not receive treatment of lesions (P = 0.36). Only 3 patients underwent neurosurgical resection and an additional patient received gamma-knife radiotherapy. The majority of patients (24/30) did not pursue strabismus surgery for vertical diplopia. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with isolated fourth nerve palsy and small lesions of the fourth nerve have a good prognosis and should be followed with serial MRI scans without neurosurgical intervention unless they develop signs of brain stem compression. Most patients with diplopia and benign fourth nerve lesions typical of trochlear nerve schwannoma can adapt with either prism spectacles or no treatment at all, although strabismus surgery can be successful.

Samsung Galaxy S5 pre-orders start at AT&T and US Cellular tomorrow for $199.99, Gear 2 priced too
If you're in the US, we now have the first pre-order info for the Samsung Galaxy S5 for you. Both AT&T and US Cellular are set to start taking pre-orders for the smartphone on March 21, which is actually tomorrow.
At AT&T, you'll need to pay $199.99 for the handset and get a new two-year contract. Alternatively, you can use AT&T's Next plan and get it for $25 per month with Next 18, and $32.50 per month with Next 12. It you want to buy one without any commitment whatsoever, you'll need to shell out $649.99. AT&T says it will start shipping pre-ordered devices in "early April", without mentioning an actual date.
At US Cellular, the pricing situation is similar, as you'd expect. $199.99 is what you have to pay for the Galaxy S5, and you'll get a $50 free Google Play promo code if you pre-order. This carrier is more forthcoming than AT&T, as it flat out states that the Galaxy S5 will be out on April 11. That's the official international release date too, so it looks like Samsung is gearing up for a big launch indeed.
AT&T was also kind enough to give us the official pricing for Samsung's new wearables – the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo smartwatches, as well as the Gear Fit smartband. The Gear 2 will cost $299, so exactly the same as its predecessor (unfortunately for those who were hoping for more reasonable pricing). The Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit are both going to go for $199. These three should also be up for pre-order tomorrow, and you might even score a $50 discount if you buy the Galaxy S5 together with a Gear 2 or Gear 2 Neo.

I'm upgrading Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 via a liveusb. It has been "restoring previously installed packages" for about 1h 30 mins. Is it normal to take so much time? Could I do something to improve speed?
Yes, it is normal that the upgrade take a long time. And no, there is nothing you can do to improve speed.
Check that there is no dialog waiting a answer for you that could stop the process, if there is not you should at least wait 3 hours before admitting that there is a problem.
If you try to stop the process now your system will be unusable.

What are the real effects of digital gaming to our fingers, hands, and bodies? The conformity of interfaces produces deformity. It's a fact. Call it "the reality of the virtual". Prolonged vicarious aggression lead to permanent physical disfiguration. Gaming activities produce real consequences for the users. Research has been conducted for years in several clinical laboratories across the globe but doctors and researchers are not willing to share their findings with the general population. However, evidence of new technologically-induced diseases is now becoming known outside of the scientific community. These pathologies - labeled collectively "Game arthritis" - are officially not "recognized". The authorities have dismissed this hidden epidemic as "mass hysteria". But according to some scientists - who speak under condition of anonymity fearing ostracization - these undiagnosed disorders are the psychopathology of ludic societies. Digital technology is indeed damaging users' fingers, arms, postures… Even their DNA is compromised. Game arthritis is not supposed to exist. Game companies do not want to talk about it. Clinicians and dermatologists do not want to discuss it. Labs refuse to run tests. And yet, thousands of players manifest similar symptoms. Thousands of players feel real pain in their bodies. Affected subjects are not delusional. Photos and images are beginning to circulate on the internet. We have collected a few samples.
"What are the real effects of digital gaming to our fingers, hands, and bodies?"
This ongoing project investigates the scenarios imagined by several "scientific" studies conducted in the last two decades which warned against the horrors and dangers of digital gaming. Pathologies such as the "Nintendo Thumb" or the "PlayStation Thumb" - not to mention other repetitive stress strain disorders caused by playful activities - became front page material from such media outlets as the BBC, CNN and more.
