Small talk with: Josh Gorges
Sunday, 10.5.2008 / 7:24 PM ET / News
|Vladimir Guerrero: Josh Gorges' Expos all-time favorite.
We heard through the grapevine that you were an Expos fan, Josh. Is that a fact? Yep that's true, but I wasn't exactly the type of hardcore fan that never missed a game.
Did you play baseball as kid growing up in Kelowna, BC? Yeah, but the results were questionable. I had a decent arm, but I never knew where the ball was going to end up.
Who do you think is the greatest player in Expos history? Considering my age and how I never saw players like Carter, Dawson or Raines play, I'd have to go with Vladimir Guerrero. He was just amazing to watch.
Were you sad to see the Expos leave Montreal? It was pretty brutal. They always had the best young talent, like Pedro Martinez and Jose Vidro and so many more. The team had the top scouting staff in the game. It was just a shame for baseball in Canada to see the Expos head south to the US.
With all the former 'Spos now in the playoffs, like Cliff Floyd with the Rays, Vladdy with the Angels and Orlando Cabrera with the White Sox, who do you hope wins the World Series? Before the playoffs started, I was really pulling for the Cubs, since they also have two Canadian players in pitchers Ryan Dempster and Rich Harden and haven't won in 100 years! But, so much for that. My other team would be the Angels but they're in hot water as well now. I think I'm in trouble.
How many big league parks have you been to? Four. Safeco Field (Seattle), Jacobs Field (Cleveland), AT&T Park (San Francisco), and Network Associates Coliseum (Oakland).
Did you get to see Barry Bonds in action? Absolutely. A few buddies and I headed out there to catch a game. We sat in seventh row right behind first base. Since Bonds bats lefty, we never saw the ball until it dropped into McCovey Cove.

A competition to design a new 'eco quarter' at the Vanga junction in Geneva has sparked controversy as architects disqualified from the competition have spoken out at the 'censorship' of their work. Calling for international entries to the competition, the Geneva State proposed the realization of a new ecologically sound neighbourhood to include housing, retail, business and cultural spaces. But when Hong Kong-based OVA studio submitted its proposal, it was disqualified from the competition for breaking anonymity.
A jury of 37 predominantly architect members chose a project named 'Social Lofts' by Dreier Frenzel as their winner. This and all other entries have been published in the competition catalogue and are currently being exhibited at the Forum Faubourg until 27 Feb, but OVA's proposal has not been included. The jury's reasoning was that the identification data sheet was placed with the project figures data sheets, breaking the anonymity. However OVA's Design Director Slimane Ouahes said: "In fact, we put in one big envelope the project figures data sheets together with a sealed envelope containing our identity data sheet. On this last envelope was written 'fiche d'identification - ne pas ouvrir' which means 'identity data sheet- do not open'.
"We do not understand how that breaks the anonymity..."
While frustrating, Ouahes advises that they are not arguing the disqualification but the 'censorship' of their work: "We are driven by the will that our work does not fall into the trash bin for a small issue, completely censoring it from the people of Geneva to know about it as a potential alternative solution which brings some novelty in the relation between inhabitants and their urban and architecture environment, as well as harmony between nature and city."
He suggests, however, that their designs may have been excluded for other reasons: "Why are we always looking at Dubai when there is something great created? Why do we not make it in Europe, in one of its Capitals? Geneva could have taken this opportunity to challenge the usual 'bloc architecture', that does not provoke any positive emotion from the public…Debate is a key to our work, ideas have to be challenged. So it is important for them to be known."
Dreier Frenzel's winning design features a grid formation with residences arranged in quadrilateral polygon blocks with courtyards. The project is at extreme contrast with OVA's design, City Hills, which generates residential hill-like mounds with green roofs and sides, attempting to integrate the design within its natural surroundings.
"Our hills containing the various activities (residential, school, warehouses, artist workshops) try to soften the idea of a building, blending them in the landscape that you access easily from the streets. Walls become roofs, roofs become gardens..." said Ouahes. "This is the purpose of our work: Create intelligent, emotional and innovative solutions... For people."
Competition organizers were not available to comment at time of publication.

Ireland Under-20s fell agonisingly short of defeating Grand Slam champions France in their opening IRB Junior World Championship match in Auckland, going down 19-13 to their Pool B rivals.
Mike Ruddock's youngsters put their injuries woes and a French-dominated first half behind them to seize control of the game during the third quarter.
However, they were unable to force their way over for a potentially decisive converted try and France held on with two Brandon Fajardo drop goals proving the difference between the sides.
It means Ireland, who did pick up a losing bonus point, must defeat Wales, who top the group, and Fiji if they are to have any chance of making the main knockout stages.
Ireland play Wales, who lost in the final last year to England, on Friday.
Elsewhere, New Zealand, South Africa, England and Australia also secured big wins to put them in strong positions to make the semi-finals.

Varied holiday home vacations
Germany | A vacation in Germany is for many holiday makers an appealing alternative. This is especially due to the great selection of holiday homes which atraveo offers in Germany.
Especially popular are the coastal regions along the North and Baltic Sea. Beautiful beaches, perfect infrastructure and the stunning landscapes promise ideal holiday conditions. Many travellers love the islands, especially Ruegen, Germany's largest island, which is the most popular one of all on offer. But also the other Baltic Sea islands, such as Usedom and Fehmarn, the peninsula Fischland-Darß-Zingst as well as the East and North Frisian Islands in the North Sea offer diverse opportunities for a great holiday home vacation.
However atraveo customers not only enjoy seaside holidays but also the Alpine areas in Upper Bavaria are equally enticing. Next to the impressive landscape also numerous leisure-time activities promise ideal holiday conditions during both summer and winter. Also the attractive regions around the Black Forest as well as Lake Constance in Baden-Wuerttemberg are popular travel destinations for holiday home vacations.
Or you just browse through the offers in the German states and look for your dream domicile. You can also find further suggestions in our atraveo blogs on holiday home vacations in Germany.

Eclampsia (cont.)
Eclampsia Symptoms
The hallmark symptom of eclampsia is seizures, or convulsions. Similar to preeclampsia, other changes and symptoms may be present and vary according to the organ system or systems that are affected. These changes can affect the mother only, baby only, or more commonly affect both mother and baby. Some of these symptoms give the woman warning signs, but most do not.

A Stock Exchange for Bettors
Betfair, a British online sports-betting company, is drawing millions of bets daily. That has traditional bookmakers crying foul
By Beth Carney
Britain's online betting exchange Betfair is often likened to an eBay of sports betting. But founder Andrew Black prefers another analogy: the New York Stock Exchange. "It's an order-driven trading platform," says Black, a former equities trader and software developer, who once spent a year gambling full-time. "It does a lot of awful lot of work behind the scenes."
These days, Betfair is doing more behind-the-scenes work than ever. While poker's phenomenal popularity has been by far the biggest growth stimulus in online gambling, the relatively low-profile business of betting exchanges is the other sector that's rapidly expanding (see BW Online, 2/25/05, "Online Poker: IPOs in the Cards?"). The concept behind them is simple: eliminate bookmakers and create a way for people to bet with one another on the Internet.
Betfair -- which doesn't knowingly take bets from the U.S., where online sports betting is illegal -- is the biggest betting exchange by a wide margin. The four-year-old company has 300,000 registered users, and matches 2 million bets a day, although many of those represent the same users trading in and out of positions. Last year, it reported about $126 million in revenue, up from $11.5 million in 2002.
How does it work? On Betfair, bettors -- what the Brits call "punters" -- place bets on sporting events according to odds that have been determined by the market. The odds change over the course of the day, or even the course of a game, depending on supply and demand, much like prices change in a stock market. Users who do not like the current odds can offer their own, which exist as a standing order until another user takes the other side.
The system isn't as simple as betting with a bookmaker and can be confusing to the inexperienced. But the advantage to users is that the odds are generally superior to those offered at traditional bookmakers. The commission Betfair charges of about 3% of winnings is less than a bookmaker's take, although the latter's cut isn't obvious because it's built into its odds. Unlike bookmakers, betting exchanges don't take risk, because they fill only the bets that other customers will match.
"They basically replace the middleman," says Leighton Vaughan Williams, director of betting research at Nottingham Trent University's business school. In the long term, he predicts, "one could see a day when conventional bookmaking is replaced by betting exchanges."
Sports betting and gambling in Britain is a huge business. Betting shops are common fixtures in retail districts, and the three largest publicly traded bookmakers -- William Hill, Ladbrokes (which is part of the Hilton Group), and Stanley Leisure -- last year together reported taking in the equivalent of $2.5 billion on their gambling operations. They have waged a campaign against Betfair and other exchanges' entry into the market.
Although Betfair, like all bookmakers, pays 15% tax on profits, plus an additional 10% levy on horseracing profit, the traditional bookmakers argue that users of the exchange who "lay" bets -- or bet that a particular team or horse loses -- are in essence acting as bookmakers and should also be taxed. "We have to build that 25% into our odds," says Tom Kelly, chief executive of the Association of British Bookmakers. "We say that's unfair competition."
More damaging to the reputation of betting exchanges has been the bookmakers' contention that the business model threatens the integrity of sport. Because betting exchanges offer people a way to bet that a competitor, such as a horse, will lose, they create an opportunity for fixing races, the bookmakers claim. In September, police arrested 16 people, including three jockeys and a trainer, in an investigation of horse-race fixing in which Betfair's records provided evidence.
Fears that exchange betting would corrupt horseracing have dogged Betfair's effort to acquire a license that would allow it to advertise its services in Australia, the site's second-biggest market after Britain, even though the company does no marketing.
Betfair, however, dismisses the charge that exchanges encourage fraud. It shares information with sports bodies, and its managers say that unscrupulous users who bet through the exchange are much more likely to be detected than if they pay cash at a High Street betting shop, thanks to the recordkeeping. "They get caught because of us," says Mark Davies, Betfair's managing director in charge of communications.
At the moment, bookmakers' objections hardly seem to be fazing the punters. Betfair continues to grow, and industry sources estimate that about 40 different betting exchanges have sprung up in the past four years, most based in Britain. Although current users tend to be relatively sophisticated -- either frequent bettors or financial-market traders -- those in the industry say the exchanges have the potential to appeal to a wide audience.
TradeSports, a "trading exchange" whose model is similar conceptually to a betting exchange but more closely mimics a stock exchange, has seen its membership nearly double in just over a year, from 23,000 at the end of 2003 to 45,000 today. The Ireland-based site allows its members, 85% of whom come from the U.S., to buy and sell contracts on events ranging from the Super Bowl to who'll win the Oscar for best director. Each event is priced according to what members see as its likelihood of happening.
"People understand risk. They understand buying and selling. Whether they're sports bettors or financial-futures traders, they're always looking at liquidity at the right price," says Mike Knesevitch, TradeSports communications director.
As the biggest online betting exchange, Betfair has an advantage over its competitors, because it has the most users and, therefore, the most liquidity. Now, 75% of Betfair's customers are British. The company's worldwide expansion will depend in part on clearing regulatory hurdles in various countries that restrict gambling. Because of its size and the Internet's reach, however, Davies says: "We are the first bookmaker that has the chance to become a really global brand." Whether it will is anyone's bet.

Shannon Sloan posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi all, Just took out a smart service plus plan with for about a month ago. I'm abit suspicious there's something wrong with my 2010 Fiesta Titanium (Zetec S Kit). Does anyone know if it's free of charge to drop the car in for a health check if I have the smart service plus plan? Plan Details: http://www.lindsayford.co.uk/service/smart/ Thanks!

Shannon Sloan started following Clicking Noise Coming From Passenger Side Wheel Area?
Shannon Sloan replied to Shannon Sloan's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI just took it out for a drive there now and I noticed the noise wasn't there. Is seems that it only becomes apparent after I've been driving for a while? Weird...
Shannon Sloan replied to Shannon Sloan's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThanks guys, hopefully get it sorted tomorrow when I go to get it checked out! Don't even know how long I've had this issue, you can't really hear it over the A/C / Radio.
Shannon Sloan replied to Shannon Sloan's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubIf it is a bearing is it easily fixed? And would you be able to get a new bearing over the weekend? Or would it have to be ordered from ford?
Shannon Sloan replied to Shannon Sloan's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThe noise does not stop when breaking nor does it matter if I'm turning or not, even when driving in a straight line it happens. It sounds sort of like if you ran a stick along a metal fence, if that makes sense?
Shannon Sloan replied to Shannon Sloan's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI'm going to get it looked at tomorrow (and hopefully fixed), will it still be safe enough to drive to and from work until tomorrow?
Shannon Sloan replied to Shannon Sloan's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubYeah I've checked the tyre for stones/nails, I wish it was a simple fix!
Shannon Sloan posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI have a clicking kind of noise coming from my passenger side wheel area. The frequency of the noise will increase as I speed up. Anyone have any idea what this could be? I drive a 2010 Fiesta Titanium with a Zetec S body kit.

It was touch and go there for a bit when Community was taken off the NBC line-up with no date for a return. But thankfully our pals at Greendale are coming back just one week from tonight, March 15th at 8 p.m. ET! And of course they're not coming back quietly.
There are animated webisodes, hilarious trailers (with winks and nods to pop culture as Community is famous for) and even a sneak peek at the brand new episode! Ready to get Community fix? On your mark, get set, go!
1. Those awesome animated webisodes
So, in the first of the webisode series, the study group is up in arms when Dean Pelton rents out their study room furniture! And, I love the way the guy's look animated—especially the Dean's eyebrows!
2. Hilarious pop culture teaser trailer number one . . .
Lets just say that I've always thought of Community as a cousin to the quirky Arrested Development so this is a match made in heaven!
3. Hilarious pop culture trailer number two . . .
Truth be told, Britta often scares me too!
4. And the sneak peek of the new ep!
I literally cannot wait for next week . . . next week Shirley is preparing to marry her ex-husband and only on Community would Britta and Jeff agree that you should "nut up and die alone" instead of remarrying (in a totally hilarious and endearing way, of course!)
Which of these did you love the most? What did you miss most about Community?
More TV we're obsessing over!

It seems safest and fastest for me (at my skill level.. about 1400 turn-based online) to win by doing that, but it seems like piling on. Would doing so irritate people? Is it insulting to keep your advanced pawns two ranks back deliberately? What am I missing here? Thanks guys!
Nope, of course you do it. If for some strange reason they are insulted by it, it is totally their problem, and should simply resign.
I don't get why you would feel that's rude. You have the right to do play anything you want just like your opponent has the right to play on. I consider it more rude that your opponent does not resign in such a position. Anyways whenever put into that position I would try to get two bishops and practice that mate (it helps to have a back-up pawn somewhere just in case).
I wouldn't promote multiple pawns, that is certainly piling on... but promoting one pawn is not rude IMHO.
Un-necessary promotion should be considered rude.
So pushing your a2 and b2 paws up the board to promote when you've already got queen, rook and minor piece buzzing around a lone king? Not very nice
Promoting a pawn that's already on the 6th or 7th to end things quickly? Sure, why not
You should do whatever gets to mate the quickest.
I dont agree with this. If you are in a position to do this it means your opponent is being rude by not resigning . ( unless ofcourse you are about to run out of time )
I agree ..... maybe chess needs a doubling cube like backgammon has in order to make some people resign when they should OR maybe lose twice the rating points when you " double" ?
Its up to your opponent to stop you - you do not need to stop yourself!
Sometimes queening is just faster.
I dont agree with this. If you are in a position to do this it means your opponent is being rude by not resigning . ( unless ofcourse you are about to run out of time )
Well there isn't exactly a general consensus on when a person should resign is there? While you might say they're being rude, they could argue that beginners are instructed to always play to the finish. And then there was also a post from a person recently who always believed it was rude to resign (quit) a lost position.
Does an action become less rude just because you percieve the person to have been rude to you? It takes a real asshole to humiliate an opponent by promoting multiple queens because they feel they were wronged by a person using their alloted time . Just checkmate the guy and move on
And playing on in a hopeless position solely to flag a player is rude in my book
I'm all about taunting.... but in terms rudeness, i would say 2 queens is enough to get a mate easily, more than that just leaves you with a greater chance of stalemate.
But hey, if you want 8 queen.... BE MY GUEST...and nvr forget to taunt
I think it is not rude if it is already close to promotion, but if you push it all the way across the board you probbly could have mated by the time you promoted the pawn.
We need to be clear on some things . Are we talking about online or otb ? Tournament play or club ? etc I am talking mostly about otb and tournament play . If my opponent is playing on with a lone K and I have K+Q ( and maybe more ) he IS being rude if he doesnt resign with the lone exception that I may be running out of time. If I am running out of time he may think I cant mate in time and he may salvage a draw if I do indeed flag. If I have plenty of time to mate then he should resign and not make me mate him. Yeah yeah I know all the stuff about beginners but the truth is that I almost never play beginners in tournaments anymore.... we dont play in the same sections usually.....
This is a war. Promote as much as possible. Do what you must to secure your victory.
My situation is turn-based 3=day pay online.
Correction for typo... "turn-based 3 day online"
My thoughts EXACTLY. In fact, I go out of my way to promote every pawn if my opponent refuses to resign in such a dead-lost position. It teaches them a valuable lesson and reverses the insult. Most will figure out after a while that they are only insulting themselves in such positions.

To the Editor:
Rick Stanton has my vote.
I write this letter in support of Rick Stanton for selectman. Aside from his service to North Hampton having been on the Zoning Board and now the Budget Committee, and, I might say, having run both boards quite well, I think you should know something about Rick that not many folks know. He does volunteer driving for TASC (Transportation Assistance for Seacoast Citizens). I would see him often when I would go to visit an old friend who was receiving dialysis. He has been driving two people to dialysis, three times a week, for several years. During the week he also gives many rides to folks who cannot drive and need to get to medical appointments. He is a strong supporter of TASC — a volunteer organization supported by our town that gives rides for many folks in our area.
Rick is a dedicated public servant and I urge you to support him for the Select Board.

". . . even more than sixty years after his death practically nothing substantive is known about him or his life, despite his ambitious recording schedule and tremendous popularity. For someone cultivating the legend of a deal with the devil, Wheatstraw's death was eerily appropriate -- celebrating his 39th birthday, Wheatstraw and some friends decided to drive to the local market to pick up some liquor, and on their way out they tried to beat a railroad train that was coming down the tracks at full speed. Needless to say, they didn't make it." - Allmusic

What could cause pressure in radiator preventing overflow being pulled back in
Customer Question
My '04 Civic Coupe EX (D17a6) has started filling the
overflow to top - not pulling it back into the radiator. When I check the engine cold, it still has a lot of pressure in the system. It starts quickly cold, and idles very smooth. I am unable to detect anything different about the
(no evident white smoke) and the oil is normal (no milky appearance). When I refill the radiator, and then start the engine to top it off, it will slowly blow out a bubble like I'm used to seeing right before the
opens but it is still cold. Doesn't seem too unusual at this point. I bought the car used, 15 months ago, have not overheated it yet that I am aware (according to the factory gauge); it has 87K miles on odo so far. What could be pressurizing the cooling jacket? I'm not seeing the usual signs of
head gasket

Is the engine stone cold and the radiator hoses are still hard?
Ask Your Own Honda Question
replied 7 years ago.
yes, last Thursday morning it was 49 degrees out (after sitting all night) when I checked it and was totally surprised of the significant amount of pressure that escaped. way more than just a "ssst", more like a "phsssssssst" - a good 2 seconds or so. It will push all the remaining liquid out of the overflow tube and bubble some in the overflow tank before I get the cap fully removed.
Honda Jim
replied 7 years ago.
It sounds pretty likly to me that you have a bad radiator cap.
You could take the cap in to have it tested or you could just replace it. They are pretty inexpensive.
If you replace the cap and you still have this issue we can look at other things but replacing the radiator cap needs to be the first step.
Ask Your Own Honda Question
replied 7 years ago.
seems too simple of an answer, there seems to be too much "left over" pressure in the system, could that be from the anti-freeze getting too hot?
Honda Jim
replied 7 years ago.
You have said that the gauge has not indicated that the car is running hot.
The radiator cap is what regulates the pressure in the cooling system.
A radiator cap is actually a pressure release valve, and when the pressure reaches the set value (usually around 15 psi), it lets coolant escape into an overflow tank. Then, when the radiator cools, a vacuum is created and the coolant is pulled back into the radiator.
I am not saying 100% that this is the problem only that it is very likly and that this is the first thing that needs to be checked / replaced to properly diagnoise the problem.

I forgot to mention that I have had to siphon the coolant out of the overflow tank to refill the radiator, about 3 times over the last 2 or 3 weeks. It seems to be filling the overflow tank faster now, which seemed awfully strange to me. Thus the question to this forum. I'll replace the radiator cap. Not sure if the accept button will send this response.

I got your answer.
Let me know what happens after you replace the cap
Ask Your Own Honda Question

Relist: I still need help.
::: No Change :::
Still overfilling the overflow tank after replacing the radiator cap. Still large amount of excess pressure after engine is completely cooled down. Oil is still normal, still no noticeable change in the exhaust. I spent a little more time watching the radiator from cold to full operating temp - while cold the coolant will "burp" like several times (level starts just below the neck, then rises to the top when large bubbles will appear and the level goes back down). You can see when the thermostat opens as there becomes a lot of movement and some swirling at the base of the neck. At that point, very small bubbles will appear giving a foam like appearance as the level will again rise in the neck until the cooling fan engages, then the level will go back down. Since I still have a mechanical throttle, I can raise the engine RPMs while the cooling fan is running and the coolant level will stay somewhat stable. When the fan goes off, the level will rise again and will push out a few ounces of fluid spilling out, but then go back down and stay down as the level is now much lower. Side Note: The Radiator and antifreeze were replaced March '08 due to a slight mis-hap; the anti-freeze is still clear and green.
Other Note: I drive 40 mins each way to work every day, 19 miles interstate driving, 7 miles at 45-50 mph on 4 lane roads.

Is the return hose still attached to the cap of the overflow tank?
There should be a hose attached to the underside of the cap.
That hose should dip into the coolant in the overflow tank. That hose can sometimes fall of, if hat happens the coolant cannot be drawn back into the radiator.

The hose doesn't attach to the overflow tank cap. The hose starts from the radiator neck and follows around the side of the radiator and down the outside of the overflow tank (there are some fingers on the side of the Tank that hold the hose in place) where there is an inlet tube at the very bottom of the tank that it attaches to. I mentioned last time that when I open the radiator cap, some of the excess gas that escapes can also be heard bubbling through the coolant in the overflow tank. (I have to hold the radiator cap down as I open it to keep the coolant from spraying all over me.) My first thought about this problem a few weeks ago was to check for a hole in the overflow hose, so I did inspect it and found no hole or blemish. The problem seems to be centered around the fact that there's too much pressure in the radiator to pull the liquid back.

Well, at this point it must have a bad headgasket.
It is possible to have a small head gasket leak that will pressurize the cooling system but coolant will not move back into the Cylinders as the engine cools, therfore no smoke/rough running on startup.
It is odd that the coolant is not pulled back into the radiator and that the system retains pressure over night, but I have seen that happen before with either a bad radiator cap or more rarely a bad headgasket.
Until it gets worse and starts showing other normal bad headgasket signs about the only way to verify the problem is to pressurize the cylinders with a cylinder leakage tester and shop air pressure and see if you can get bubbles into the cooling system.

HONDA PLATINUM was great. I really appreciate his help. I was ready to trade my new Honda until he told me to wait until I got 3,000 miles on it and my gas mileage would get much better.
I took the Power Steering O-Ring service bulletin linked from JustAnswer to my Acura dealer, and not only did they no-charge the o-ring, they also replaced the power steering pump at no cost.

AOL and the Curse of Beb-oh
When Time Warner spent a whopping $850 million to buy Bebo, an also-ran social network, back in March 2009, I wrote: "Given Time Warner's history of messing up everything it buys, I wonder how long before Bebo becomes Beb-oh."
Now comes word that AOL is getting rid of Bebo—and may have sold it to a private investor for somewhere between $2.5 million and $10 million. That would put it in the same category as the New York Yankees' $39.5 million deal with pitcher Carl Pavano—hope and hype that ended in heartburn.
If the reports are indeed true, Randy's Folly cost the company $840 million of much-needed cash. Randy being Randy Falco, the clueless executive who took AOL to the brink of extinction before someone woke up and brought in Tim Armstrong to make a miracle.
From Engadget to Seed
Armstrong is trying to move AOL away from its access-centric revenue stream by building a content-centric company. Thanks to the acquisition of Weblogs (way back when), AOL now sits on a gold mine of Web brands, Engadget being the best known. The company has also embarked on an expansive and ambitious strategy with such new programs as Seed.
At the D8 conference, when Armstrong was asked, "What is the future of the company?" he replied, "If I had to describe it in one word, I think it's content, and I think it's content because there's an opportunity to marry what the content has already done with what the content can do." Given that I've viewed AOL's content strategy over the past year and a half as a smart one, I can't say I disagree with Armstrong's approach.
We are in the middle of a big media shift, which means some of the traditional brands are going to fall by the wayside. New ones will emerge. AOL can be home to many of them—whether they're homegrown or come via a shopping spree.
As I have often said, we've entered an era of too much data (including news). From this data we need to derive information, and to this information we need to offer context. That context is social and local. These are not easy tasks, mind you; they require the resources of a technology company—and thankfully, AOL has plenty of those.
From Foursquare to Gowalla
This is precisely the time AOL should be making aggressive acquisitions—not Associated Content, but companies such as Foursquare and Gowalla—and use them to build a new class of "media entities" that revolve around location and social.I see such services as the next iteration of gourmet magazines and retail guides.They can also help AOL realize its local ambitions.
Just as back in the day [when] AOL viewed weblogs as a new media entity, Armstrong must peer into the future and rethink what media is, including getting rid of such notions as content created by content farms like Associated Content. It should also explore a new opportunity pursued by certain startups: the marriage of content and commerce sans traditional advertising. Good examples include New York's Thrillist, which bought JackThreads, and San Francisco's women-oriented content company, Sugar Inc., which in turn bought FreshGuide. In a world awash with cheap page views, it's the premium experiences that result in premium advertising dollars and commerce-related revenues.
But thanks, in part, to Bebo, AOL doesn't have a lot of cash on hand—roughly $262 million—which limits what Armstrong can do. Now imagine if Armstrong had that $840 million that was wasted buying Bebo; he could easily go about building a brand-new AOL. Instead, he needs to take measured steps and worry about paying the price of someone else's stupidity.

Rohit Roy to direct the remake of Shaukeen
"The remaking rights have been acquired [from Basu-da] by Bunty Bahl, who will produce the film," Rohit reveals. Although Rohit and Bunty have decided to retain the story and characters from the film, they have decided to update it to suit the present-day scenario. "Shaukeen was very simple. The new Shaukeen will be a modern version. Also, the original version was set in India. But we are not placing our film in India. We are looking at Las Vegas, Spain or Malaysia," Rohit divulges.
Producer Bunty Bahl states that they will finalize the star cast of their film after they update the script [post Diwali]. The makers plan to begin filming early next year.

These days even influential websites lack the kind of detail and information necessary for gamers to make an informed decision on their purchases. While it could be said that it's not their fault, as many manufacturers don't widely publicize the information that many of us are looking for, it does leave us wanting more information before we make a gaming hardware related purchase.
In my recent review of gaming mice for FPS gamers I mentioned the importance of getting an accurate mouse with an optical sensor vs. a laser one and then, understanding the type of optical sensor you're dealing with. The reason for this is that mice with laser sensors have built-in acceleration that can ultimately lead to missed shots. MMO-gamers, on the other hand, are more concerned with comfort, features like programmable buttons, weight tuning, DPI, and may even want additional acceleration.
It's ultimately MMOs and perhaps RTS genre games that need so many macros, keys, and numbers. MOBAs and ARPG games like Diablo 3 typically need around 6. Training yourself to use a mouse with massive amounts of programmable buttons is not always easy, but ultimately necessary unless you'd prefer to use your keyboard more, have control of your movement keys less, or purchase a separate gaming keypad. Those who refrain from doing any of this most times just end up a clicky ineffective mess.
Why a MMO-geared mouse is not right for everyone:
A mouse with a lot of programmable buttons can have a steep learning curve and occasionally create miss clicks when you're still learning. This can be a really bad thing if you have a spell or potion with a long cooldown.
If you have large fingers or simply don't have good control with them, then going with a keypad may be a better option. In addition, many MMO-gear mice are also what I'd consider uncomfortable so finding one that feels right is key if you want to play for long hours. For many this will be more important than the freed up keyboard space.
Ultimately you'll have to decide whether it's worth purchasing a mouse with a ton of buttons or use one with just a few in conjunction with other options.
Grid Vs. Ergonomically Placed Buttons
You won't really find a MMO mouse that's perfectly rated and this is one of the main reasons why. A lot of gamers realize that they like one layout over another and then automatically dismiss the other. For these type of mice you have either the grid style of mouse or what I'd call more ergonomically designed MMO mice. The grid style puts the bulk of its buttons on the side of the button all laid out and easy-t0-find and memorize fashion.
More ergonomically designed MMO gaming mice place more emphasis on spreading the buttons throughout the mice in a way that's supposed to feel more natural. For some this seems to work, while others it leads to additional miss clicks and frustration.
DPI is sometimes a term that's overemphasized when it comes to gaming mice. It doesn't make your mouse more accurate to have more DPI, it simply allows you to move more quickly across the screen. Since all of the mouse below have as much DPI as you'd ever want, this particularly category shouldn't hold much weight for MMORPG gamers.
TTG's 2013 List of the Best MMO Gaming Mice
There's a lot of reasons I placed the G600 number one, but with that being said it's definitely not for everyone. The thumbpad is a lot like Razer's old version of the Naga, but easier-to-use with buttons that are raised and lowered so you can literally feel which key you're on. It doesn't have different grips like some of the other models out there; however, the ergonomics of it just seem more comfortable. These features along with its budget sale price of under $50 make it not only one of the best value MMO gaming mice on the market, but also one of the best all around as well.
Additional Details: Avago ADNS 9800 Sensor, 20 MMO buttons (12 thumb), tilt scroll wheel, 3 memory profiles, up to 8200 DPI, 6 feet long braided cable, and 3 year warranty.
The newer Razer Naga is a lot like the G600. It has buttons varied in height and they got rid of the grip options for a more ergonomic approach – just like Logitech's. Considering Razer's initial pattern came sooner I'll give them the benefit of the doubt; however, with a price at around $80 it's certainly not as good of a deal as the G600.
Additional Details: Up to 8200 DPI with a 4G Avago ADNS 9800 laser sensor (the same as many others in this category), tilt click scroll wheel, in-game MMO configurator, mechanical thumb grid, 7 foot, 2.1 m braided cable,
3. Mad Catz M.M.O.7 Gaming Mouse
There's a love or hate relationship with this mouse and others that manufacturer Mad Catz has released. With so much functionality it often gets a bit confusing and with so many buttons some have complained that the design feels uncomfortable. That being said if you're willing to adjust the M.M.O.7 in the way that it's intended it really is a fairly comfortable mouse.
In addition it's not built with a higher body to accompany "the grid". That along with a thumb rest and the dual action lock buttons make it so you can have near fatigue-free gaming. It's also reasonably accurate with a 6400 DPI 'Twin-Eye' laser sensor.
As of the price you'll pay at least a 50% premium on it compared to the Naga or G600. With all the customization and grips I get where the price comes from; however, some may still prefer the simplicity of the previously mentioned models.
While it may not be advertised or at least not have MMO in the name, the Logitech G700s is certainly one of the better options in terms of features, buttons and ergonomics. With 13 programmable buttons, an ergonomic design, S9808 laser sensor, and wireless freedom it's one of the most comfortable mice I've ever used.
Button Placement Makes Sense:
As far as the buttons are concerned they make a lot of sense. G keys are placed conveniently on both sides and the top where they won't get in the way of each other.
This mouse is perfect for those long gaming sessions. A Thumb rest and ergonomically designed body make it easy to grip and hold on to.
Price and Final Thoughts:
Overall this is a great mouse that occasionally comes on sale for below $70. If you can get it for that, then you may want to go ahead and grab it. At the full $100 price tag you may still want to consider other options.
A Good Gaming Mouse for MMORPG Gamers that Play MOBA or ARPG games as well:
Some may shy away from this mouse simply because it doesn't have the number of programmable buttons that the other models in this list do. That being said in many ways having the simplicity of a grid with just 6 buttons is sometimes not a bad way to go for not only MMORPGs, but also if you play MOBA or ARPG genre video games.
A higher DPI from the M90 and a better sensor in the Avago ADNS 9800 laser are some of the main upgrades found in the M95 vs. the previous version. In addition there's a white version of the M95, although I'm not sure why you'd want the smooth white plastic vs. the rubberized coating used in the black version of the M95 unless you like the look and feel of holding a storm troopers helmet. One good thing to point out about the M95 is that it uses an Omron D2FC-F switch that should pretty much last as long as you want it to. This is a good quality product that feels solid in your hands and it shows in the aluminum uni-body plate.
7. Genius Gila Professional Gaming Mouse
This isn't an option that many have thought about, but it did win a few awards for design this year so it seems worth noting. One of the cool things about it is that it has six LED lit areas on the mouse. It's true that this mouse just looks cool. With that being said most will find the Gila's design a bit uncomfortable after many hours of game play. I do like the button placement, but without the comfort, this mouse can't overcome the likes of the G600 or Naga.
Additional Details: The Gila uses a Avago ADNS9800 sensor, has up to 8200 DPI, what I'd call a semi-ambidextrous design, weight tuning with 6 4.5 gram weights, gold plated USB, 1.8m braided cable, mix or T-MEC and Omron Switches and rated 8 million clicks
8. A Different Option Altogether: Logitech G13 vs. Razer Nostromo
If you'd prefer not to purchase a mouse with more buttons than a standard one, then there's always the option of going with a keypad. The two that most people use are the Logitech G13 and the Razer Nostromo. As someone with larger hands the G13 just seems to work better and feel more natural to use, but ultimately that may be a matter of personal preference. The nostromo has 16 programmable keys while the G13 has25 and an additional LED screen for in-game stats.
Overall finding exactly what MMO mouse will work with your playstyle is a bit of a crap shoot. If you haven't tried one before, then I highly recommend borrowing one for a friend or at least going to the store to get your hands on one. Don't forget to vote in our poll below and participate in our open discussion before you go.

ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia's Lake Lanier could be within three months of running out of water, or it could still have enough water to last until the summer.
It just depends on who you ask.
State officials say there's about 80 days of drinking water left in the north Georgia reservoir -- which supplies 3 million people with water.
But that figure doesn't include water in the so-called "dead pool," -- inactive storage at the bottom of the lake.
State environmental officials say the pool is below the level of most water system intake pipes, state environmental officials say.
The Army Corps of Engineers, which manages the region's water sources, contends there's about 280 days of water left - with more than half of it stored in the "dead pool."
The argument takes center stage as Georgia fights for a greater share of the region's water supply. Georgia, Florida and Alabama are mired in a tug-of-war over water resources, with the Corps stuck in the middle.
The governors of the three states are heading to Washington tomrrow to lobby for water rights amid a potentially catastrophic drought.
The Bush administration will be asked to decide whether to bolster Georgia's drinking supply or continue releasing water downstream to Alabama and Florida.
Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue has long argued the water at the bottom of the lake is "suspect."

Today marks the 1,000th anniversary of the Battle of Clontarf, a landmark in the history of Ireland, when King Brian Boru defeated the Vikings and their Irish allies near Dublin. But it did not, as Boru hoped, unite Ireland into one nation.
On April 23, 1014, the Vikings sailed into Dublin Bay on a high tide and battle began soon afterwards at dawn on a sunny but somewhat windy day. About 7,000 men faced each other on the battlefield and fought a savage battle. As the day wore on, Boru's forces slowly gained the upper hand, and the Irish troops
