July 30, 2009
CAROLINE SUE STERNBERG [#122078], 58, of Encino was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a 30-day actual uspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect July 30, 2009.The State Bar Court found that Sternberg allowed the balance in her client trust account to drop below
the required amount several times. She had received about $39,000 on behalf of her client and after fees and costs were deducted, she should have maintained a balance of $24,854.50 in her trust account.Her husband, who also was her office manager, handled her firms business dealings, and without her knowledge, he used the account to pay personal
and business expenses. Sternberg, who was the only authorized signatory on the account, wrote few checks and did not regularly use her trust account or reconcile bank statements.Although the court found much of her clients testimony not believable, it reluctantly found that Sternberg committed acts of moral turpitude by allowing a misappropriation of funds. She did not intend to do anything wrong but her gross negligence in handling her trust account during this time
requires a finding of moral turpitude, wrote bar court Judge Richard Honn.Sternberg has no discipline record, cooperated with the bars investigation and offered extensive testimony about her good character and substantial volunteer work.

When it seemed clear that the Portsmouth (N.H.) High baseball team was about to extend the program's winning streak to 83 games by beating St. Thomas Aquinas in last Saturday's Division II championship game, the conversation in the Northeast Delta Dental press box turned to next season. How good will Portsmouth be in 20102?
The answer: pretty darn good.
Like most teams, the Clippers will have some significant pieces to replace, but Portsmouth will return most of its starting lineup. The key losses will be starting pitcher Keegan Taylor and center fielder Aidan O'Leary, both of whom have committed to play Division I baseball. Taylor will play for Northeastern, and O'Leary for Manhattan.
"We'll have a decent nucleus of five or six guys coming back," Portsmouth coach Tim Hopley said. "When you lose kids like [Taylor] and Aidan O'Leary it's significant."
Taylor, who earned the win in Portsmouth's 9-6 triumph over St. Thomas (Dover), was 10-0 this season and 25-0 during his high school career. O'Leary hit .434 with a team-high 13 stolen bases this season.
Right fielder Quinn McCann, who entered the championship game with a .424 batting average, will also be tough to replace.
Portsmouth will return the following starters: catcher Conor Trefethen, third baseman Matt Feeney, shortstop Billy Hartmann, second baseman Connor McCauley, first baseman Ricky Holt and outfielder Kyle DiCesare.
McCauley, who can also catch, was batting a team-high .439 entering the championship game. Holt will replace Taylor as the team's ace. He was 7-0 with a 1.56 ERA after he pitched a complete game against Laconia in the Division II semifinals. He pitched two scoreless innings in the championship game.
"Standing here right now I can't see how we're not going to drop off a bit, but I probably said that last year and the year before too," Hopley said.
Portsmouth's victory over St. Thomas handed the program its fourth-consecutive Division II championship. Portsmouth hasn't lost a game since the 2007 season.
The Clippers broke the national record for consecutive victories when they beat Pembroke Academy to push the winning streak to 76 games during the regular season.
Although some people would like to see the Clippers move up to Division I, Hopley scoffed at the suggestion.
"People ask us about that all the time," Hopley said. "My answer is simply, 'If we were the biggest school in Division II then I would understand it, but we're the fourth or fifth biggest school in Division II.
"The reality is if people expect us to move up based on success then 1) they haven't paid attention to the program for the entirety, and 2) I would expect that they voice those concerns about the other four schools that have a bigger enrollment than we do."
The Portsmouth junior varsity team lost five games this season, after suffering one loss from 2007 to 2010.
Portsmouth's latest victory was one of its strangest. Because of a lightning delay, the game didn't start until 10:25 p.m., and ended just before 1 a.m.
New Hampshire's pitching rules also forced Hopley to get creative with how he used Taylor. Pitchers are allowed to throw a maximum of 16 innings in the tournament and Taylor had five innings of eligibility left entering the championship game. Taylor started the game on the mound, but also pitched four innings of relief.
Taylor moved from the mound to right field after the first inning. He moved back to the mound in the fourth, after Holt pitched two scoreless innings.
"It was something new," Taylor said. "I've never sat that long. It must have been like 45 minutes that I was sitting out for. It was tough. I got a little cold.
"We were up in the air until five minutes before game time. I went to [Hopley] and said, 'OK, I can do that.' It was in my hands whether I wanted to do it or not."
Hopley said until the start of the game was delayed by lightning he planned to start Holt, and bring Taylor in at the beginning of the third.
"I was concerned with them getting momentum early," Hopley said. "Ricky being a sophomore in an unfamiliar setting – and certainly one that's full of pressure – I thought it might be best to go with Keegan because he's been on that stage before and he's very familiar with the hitters he was going to be facing.
"I put [Taylor] in a tough spot. We went back and forth all week long on how we were going to handle the whole pitching thing."
Taylor allowed six runs on six hits, struck out 11 and walked one. He struggled through the fifth, when St. Thomas (12-8) scored five runs on four hits to take a 6-5 lead.
Although Taylor put his team in a hole in the fifth, he pulled the Clippers out of it in the sixth. That's when he broke a 6-6 tie by hitting a two-out, two-strike pitch just inside the right-field line for a three-run triple that capped the scoring.
The Clippers (20-0) tied the game when Conor Trefethen started the inning with a double and ended up on third because of a throwing error. Kyle DiCesare followed with an RBI double that erased Portsmouth's 6-5 deficit.
Hopley called the victory over St. Thomas the program's biggest win in his 16 years as the program's head coach.
"What the program has accomplished [setting the national record for consecutive victories} and what we've gone through and the attention that it has earned, to get to this point and not finish it with a win − that wasn't something that I was prepared to deal with," Hopley said. "It was a real important game for us. This was special."

The US state of Nevada reinforces its player protection measures that have been introduced recently. The new rules will require licensed operators to separate player money from active funds.
Not so long ago the Nevadan Gaming Commission has introduced a new set of rules that intends to protect online gambling players from abuse. The new set of rules will have to be followed by each online gambling operator wishing to operate in the state and will also retroactively apply to operators that already received a license.
The new set of rules, among other include the strict separation of player money from active funds. Player money is the cash deposited by players which still belongs to the players while active funds are the money that belong to the poker room or casino due to rakes or players losing.
The reason to adopt such a rule has undoubtedly been sparked by the recent Full Tilt Poker and Purple Longue scandals that have resulted in the gambling operators going bust and not being able to repay players due to the fact that they have been using players' money for their own purposes.
These kinds of rules already existed in the past too but were not actively enforced by online gambling regulatory bodies. In the past, regulatory bodies and jurisdictions used to rely on good faith regarding online gambling operators following this rule, which was not good enough based on past happenings.
So, in order to prevent future abuses from happening, Nevada proposes a new oversight regime that will allow the Gaming Commission to actively monitor online gambling operators and the way how they handle player funds.
What Nevada decided now is that showing bank documents that attest that player money is kept separate in a district bank account is not sufficient. Nevadan authorities decided that operators will also have to give up any ownership, title or interest over the funds deposited by players.
This means that legally online gambling operators will not have any right at all to access player funds until the moment players have lost that money or it represents the rake generated at real money online poker cash tables.
This will also make the tapping into player funds a criminal offense in the state of Nevada. Operators caught tapping into player money would also immediately lose their license and be banned from any future license in Nevada - and possibly in the whole of US if online gambling will be liberalized on a federal level.
More than this, this will actually also protect player funds even if an online gambling operator will go bankrupt. The fact operators will not be allowed to tap into player money means that the money players' deposit will always be available no matter what will happen to the gambling company.
Online casino technology developer Microgaming announced that it teamed up with Evolution Gaming to release new live dealer casino games to all Microgaming-based casinos.
Online gambling technology and game developer Microgaming revealed that it would be launching two new HD video slot games in November this year. The new games will be called Lucky Twins and Basketball Star.
UK based gambling operator William Hill revealed that it had introduced a new prepaid card that can be used by players for secure deposits and instantly executed withdrawals.
New Jersey intends to challenge again the federal ban on sports betting and the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) even after several similar failed attempts in the past.
Playtech announced that it had finalized the takeover deal of Forex company Plus500 and as a consequence it will delist Plus500 from the London Stock Exchange once the transaction is completed.

The constancy with which prostatitis occurs when gonorrhea invades the posterior urethra, and the persistent nature of that inflammation after the subjective symptoms, and the more evident of the objective symptoms, have subsided, give this condition the right to more consideration.
That a gonorrheal inflammation of the posterior urethra ever occurs without involving the prostatic ducts to a greater or less degree seems unlikely. Anatomically, there is little to invite a posterior urethritis to the exclusion of the prostate. The character of the epithelia, the scarcity of mucous glands, and the almost vertical direction of the canal, which is distended so much of the time with urine and made one with the bladder cavity, are factors against a theory that the prostatic urethra can be affected with a gonorrheal infection without the prostate participating.
Acute gonorrheal prostatitis—the division of this affection into the catarrhal, the follicular, and the parenchymatous forms—may

Does Gaming's Future Depend on Wii Fit?
We check in with Miyamoto on why Nintendo's focus has shifted to casual.
When legendary Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto introduced Wii Fit at last year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, you could almost hear the collective clatter of a million gamers furiously pounding out epitaphs to their favorite hobby. Here was the inventor of Mario and Zelda completely ignoring his brilliant work in progress, Super Mario Galaxy, in order to talk about what appeared to be a glorified bathroom scale. Wii Fit, hardcore gamers proclaimed, would be the death of videogames.
In Miyamoto's mind, however, his new exercise-trainer-cum-minigame-collection is essential to gaming's survival. "The core gaming market didn't buy the Wii to play Wii Sports," he says, referring to the system's ultra-casual sports pack-in. "But it was a means by which gamers could get the nongaming people in their lives to take an interest in their hobby. Wii Fit will play a similar role: It will continue to broaden interest in videogames. That's important for the core gamer -- the bigger the audience, the greater the chance for something that's new and unique to succeed."
Many gamers reject the notion that games need saving. The industry's profits are blossoming even as the global economy withers on the vine. But games are hardly the first medium to thrive on the enthusiasm (and liberal spending habits) of young men, and the fate of former "sure things" demonstrates that short-term success is no guarantee of long-term health. The comics industry was flush with cash in the early '90s but soon marginalized itself; the music industry is currently wracked by what could well be its death throes. Miyamoto's own frame of reference is Japan, where console gaming is dying a sad, slow death as gamers who made the PlayStation a 32-bit colossus move along to new and different pastimes.
"We've gotten to a point where videogames are no longer something everyone can enjoy," he laments. Both of Nintendo's current systems, the Wii and DS, were conceived as remedies for Japan's troubles by making gaming accessible and inclusive. To be sure, the company's traditional titles still have a huge audience the world over; Super Smash Bros. Brawl sold a stunning 2.7 million copies in its first week in the U.S., and Mario Kart Wii has turned in equally astounding numbers in Europe. But that's not enough, Miyamoto says. "The sales [of hardcore games] all come in the first three weeks, and the drop-off is so dramatic that you're not really selling any volume after that."
Instead, he looks to the likes of Brain Age and Animal Crossing for gaming's future: strong sellers that continue to move at a steady rate for months, sometimes years, by targeting consumers who don't feel compelled to make a day-one purchase of the latest hot release. "Games like Wii Fit, Animal Crossing, and Nintendogs are exhibiting a steady, longer-selling sales trend we haven't seen before," Miyamoto notes. "Creating games that sustain sales over the long term is going to be essential to the growth of the industry."
Granted, Nintendo has a rare ability to create software that appeals to both casual and core gamers. New Super Mario Bros. was an instant hit upon its 2006 release and continued to sell steadily over the next year and a half, racking up a grand total of 13 million copies sold by the end of 2007. But few games have quite the same universal appeal as a good old-fashioned Mario adventure, and even Nintendo realizes its endlessly popular mascots can only go so far. Wii Fit conspicuously lacks the friendly characters that would make for an easy sale; instead, its fitness routines are dictated not by Mario but rather by featureless and realistically proportioned human instructors. Not only does this make for a title that neatly sidesteps the "kiddie" stigma that plagues the company's catalog, it also makes Wii Fit's steep $90 price tag easier to swallow. "As a videogame, the audience looks at a price of $100 and thinks, 'That's very expensive,'" Miyamoto admits. "But for people who are purchasing exercise equipment or fitness DVDs -- in those terms, $100 is actually very cheap."
So far, Nintendo's ambitions are panning out. Wii Fit's first week in Japan saw a quarter-million units sold -- it's certainly respectable, but it's not even enough to top the week's charts. Four months later, however, its total numbers are closing in on 2 million, and early reports from the U.K. launch suggest nationwide sellouts. Of course, that only adds to the alarmist tone with which hardcore gamers discuss Wii Fit, but Miyamoto says that their fears are unfounded. "As the people around you who haven't been playing videogames take an interest in things like Wii Fit, it's going to change the impression that people have of what videogaming means," he says. "Rather than be concerned that we're abandoning them, core gamers should realize that we're creating a better environment for their hobby."
Besides, ultimately a game is still a game, even if you're killing calories rather than alien invaders. "Wii Fit is a game about discovering the joy of becoming more aware of your body, your fitness, [and] your weight. It's about setting a goal, finding a path to that goal, and then determining a new objective -- which, in my mind, is very much the same as what you do in a Mario game."

im sorry, butPosted: May 28, 2008 12:00AM PST by onslaughtree
it was the sony playstation 2 that brought the casual market to life. the wii is just is just carring off of that success with it's low price point and simplistic games.
Just a thoughtPosted: May 28, 2008 12:00AM PST by iinglish
I am a Hugh Sony fan- that being said and even though I myself donot own a Wii have to agree with Mr. Miayamoto's perception of the gaming industry- By expanding the culture we are preserving "Hard Core" gamers not hurting them. With all due respect "WE" are the same gamers who bitch and moan about EA and Activision not developing any original IP's instead just rehashing the same BS which "YOU" zombie gamers keep buying-Nintendo is helping not hurting the industry.
Hardcore game salesPosted: May 28, 2008 12:00AM PST by pracertoo
don't drop off after 3 weeks because of demand, they drop off because of used games sales. Stores like Gamestop are killing the infistructure of the industry. Buy flooding the market with used copies(and not even stocking new copies) they have forced many companies to digital downloads, handhelds, and casual games. Those demographics don't trade/buy used games nearly as much.
Not all gamingPosted: May 27, 2008 12:00AM PST by Circle_Strafe

VR...Posted: May 27, 2008 12:00AM PST by marker01
wii fit (and pretty much the wii) is just a small step to what experts thought would be the future of gaming YEARS ago. Virtual Reality. before the wii, the Sega CD was the last console that started deoying the necessary components for VR. they had a VR headset that displayed a large screen and tracked head movement (never had a VR game) motion sensors, balance sensors, they are all just minor objects of VR which should have been fully deployed by the PS2 imo.

also was received with skepticism like this. Hell look at something as crazy as Rock Band no one thought that these games would sell as well as they did because of their ridiculous attachments now look at their tremendous success. I think that the flop of Mario Kart was due to that most hardcore gamers that really needed their Mario Kart fix went back to Double Dash and or the DS version (instead of buying a crappier new verison of it). Also I haven't heard any non gamers speak of Mario Kart Wii. I think Nintendo should be careful because if they keep trying to make their hardcore titles appeal to the mass market they will probably end up losing their hardcore audience. It probably will work well for Wii fit cause it is a new title that if it is picked up by a hardcore gamer they can just say hey I know what I am getting into.
This whole thingPosted: May 26, 2008 12:00AM PST by slightly_wiitarded
makes me sick. Any casual person who decided to read this website and this article trying to find out what the buzz is about this new Wii Fit game, would turn right around and say to the gaming industry 'Go fuck yourself! You just lost a customer.' And gaming loses somebody who could, in the future, be another one of us. And why? Because a lot of us clearly think we are somehow 'better' than everybody else. Here's a question...are you enjoying your 360 for the 1st time, or the 2nd? 3rd? 4th? Lost count? Wow, investing in a product that breaks when a slight breeze comes in, and you're not pissed off? You'll spend another $300+ bucks for another one? Really? For being the 'last bastion for real games', it isn't very reliable, is it? And if I could step back for a second, I'm starting to sound like the people I'm chastising, so I'm going to stop now. Regardless, all I'm saying is enjoy what you're enjoying right now, because you and I won't be around forever to enjoy it.
Ha Ha...Posted: May 26, 2008 12:00AM PST by Lance1983
...first of all, Miyamoto can pretty much do whatever he wants and i'll lose no respect for him. Also, with the economy the way it is, it probably is a smart move. EA/Activision are actually doing more good acquring these small game companies(when they actually want to be acquired, leave R* alone!), they get more $$$, and it would be a little bit easier to stay afloat if the economy got a lot worse. So don't bash them too much...
I, personally, couldn't care less.Posted: May 26, 2008 12:00AM PST by KingSephiroth
I have stopped getting excited about games for the Wii after the realease of the new Zelda and Mario games. Sure, Mario Kart is also a nice thought, but other than that... I like to work out in my room and jog outdoors. I don't play video games for that. I play video games to go on quests and adventures, kick the shit out of enemies that stand between me and my goal, destroy people online, and occasionally drool after whatever bishounen is on whatever game. Oh, I like shooting people too. I'm not saying Wii Fit is bad (can't say it's good either, as I have yet to play it), just saying I'm not interested. But then, that's been the story with me and a lot of Wii games lately. *yawn*....

For all you people saying "I have a game for you, it's called go outside and take a walk," I hope to god you don't play sports games, otherwise I have a game for you - give me your console and I'll give you a basketball. Don't sell yourself short by limiting your concept of a game to a narrow 'shoot stuff, jump over stuff, collect stuff' idea. The proof is in the profits. Now, now, simmer down, I'm no fanboy; I've owned every console since the 8-bit NES days, (except original Xbox and PS3) so get over it. Some people want MGS4, some people want WiiFit. The resultant extra dollars in Nintendo's pockets will fund your next completely freaking awesome Zelda game. But you don't get a plasma rifle in Zelda so maybe that's not a good game either.
Haters keep hatin...Posted: May 26, 2008 12:00AM PST by kiefer
...and that will continue forever. My thoughts: Nintendo has always, always been the innovator. Remember the first time you saw pics of the N64 controller and you were all "WTF?!" Now imagine playing a game without analog control. Remember when Nintendo introduced the Rumble Pak for the same console? I know I thought it was kinda dumb, how about you? People paid EXTRA MONEY FOR IT! Now, it's a feature everyone has come to expect implemented in the games they play. We are very fortunate Sony and Nintendo's deal fell through so long ago. Also, my fiance wanted to get Wii Fit. She forgot to pre-order it, and, alas, cannot find it anywhere. I searched probably 20 stores and it's nowhere to be found. Hate all you want, it's still a cash cow for the heads at Nintendo. I saw an article a while back (in GI I think) where a guy imported it, used it as noted, and lost like 5 lbs in 5 days. For some people, that is a big deal. For others, it's not.
LOL...Posted: May 26, 2008 12:00AM PST by joe76
Not that any of you fanboys would do it, but i bet you morons wouldn't last a week playing wii fit. All you people saying it's a dumb idea have no idea what your talking about. Video games are hugely popular right now and if you can get people to excersise while playing a video game then isn't that a good thing. Oh wait microsoft didn't think of it so of course you wouldn't like it...

once again nintendo makes a console that does not challenge developers and people phrase it and again the only good games on a nintendo console is the 1st party titles and again magazine editors and reviewers say nothing about it...well now nintendo is ignoring the very gamers that have kept them in business for the last 25 years in favor of the now hot CASUAL GAMER....thank god for the ps3 and 360, these consoles push technology and give developers the tools to create games that can keep gaming forward as a SERIOUS medium....the nintendo gamer is the one that is getting the short end of the stick here, they are the ones that are not getting REAL games and in the end, they are the ones that have to go out and purchase a secondary console.
He does have a pointPosted: May 25, 2008 12:00AM PST by ScrewattackNY
"Hardcore" games usaully start to sell big on opening day and the die out....but i'm suprised i see till wii play on the amazons best sellers list.So people don't need to be complaing about it.
ummm...Posted: May 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by Bakuryukun
Psst...asbkwrds, I can't recommend bashing the target audience of Wii Fit as unintelligent when you write a sentence as awkwardly as you did. It also looks silly when you call them ignorant while at the same time judging an entire demographic of people just by the purchase of a single Video Game.
I'm not worriedPosted: May 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by Kidd_Fridge
Wii fit won't destroy the hardcore market. I enjoy wii with lots of ppl that don't generally enjoy games, but still loving the xbox 360.
Yeah.....Posted: May 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by marksquires78
The guy below is right. Fuck EA. People are bitching about Nintendo, who are expanding the market with new ideas, and EA is quietly buying up all the gaming developers so they can create a monopoly, pumping out their yearly updates over and over. Whats that? Nintendo releases the same games too? At least they take a few years in between and is the most consistent developer when it comes to quality.
More BS from NintendoPosted: May 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by asbkwrds&n-yr-face
Ridiculous, ignorant, under-achiever, physically challenge (extremely fat), brainless or lack of intelligence, its the market for this product. Are you Wii-fateous?
The future of games...Posted: May 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by BlazingAero
...may be a little more grim than people think. We've been spoiled with our beautiful, high-budget, hardcore titles. The article mentioned the waning global economy. If you've already awakened to reality, you'd be aware that in coming years people will be more concerned with food/fuel/resources than games. That means lower-budget titles to ensure more affordable games, and to ensure that the devs don't go belly up. Enjoy these popcorn games while they last.
Why can't different games coexist?Posted: May 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by ironFalcon
I will not buy wii fit, as I play more hard-core games, I guess, but why some people get so angry over its success is ridiculous. The success of wii fit is not bad for the gaming industry! Like, if a bad song is really popular and getting a lot of radio-play, it doesn't mean good artists will stop making music... variety won't kill anyone.
If you don't like it, then don't buy it.Posted: May 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by flaabs
All you naysayers can whine and complain on your cheeto-encrusted couches all you want, Nintendo doesn't care. They're laughing maniacally as they push their endless train of money-filled wheelbarrows all the way to the bank.
The Title Is MisleadingPosted: May 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by Drakonikarma
However, I do believe that what he is saying has a point. The games industry has every chance of bringing about its own doom as any other industry. If you can't accept this then you are simply naive.
Ridiculous articlePosted: May 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by xIvSlowDeath420
What a waste of time and EGM paper,your comparison to comics and music is outright stupid.The games industry has been increasing profits on a yearly basis for nearly 20 years.Theres been absolutly no indication that it will slow,in fact its given the exact opposite indication in the last year or two especially.Are you guys really hurtin for stuff to right about that badly that you need to start reaching lie this,like come on.
I bought Wii FitPosted: May 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by dilutedme
And in a mere 3 days I've noticed a big improvement in my posture. And my energy level has gone up! I can't wait so see how much better shape I'm going to be in in the weeks and months to come. I never really cared about exerciseing or working out, but Nintendo has changed my way of thinking.
truthfullyPosted: May 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by papajason5
i never thought id say this but i liked wii fit alot better than brawl. its actually pretty funny when the AI actually talks shit to you when you are fucking up. seriously, its not bad. i doubt half the people in this thread have even attempted it if you havent you should. its def by no means close to game of the year material but its still fun
Miyamoto is right...Posted: May 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by San_Andreas
...Wii Fit will hopefully beat the SHIT being diarrhea'd out of the assholes of EA and Activision. That kind of corporate consolidation, and the shit franchises these two companies rehash annually (don't forget your expansion packs!) is exactly what Shigeru Miyamoto was talking about when he says the gaming industry is deeply troubled.
Hey all fatasses...Posted: May 23, 2008 12:00AM PST by LincolnSixEcho
Excercise videos have been around forever...and theyre only $10!!! This game is shit. It looks like shit, a shitty idea, and belongs on Nintendo's technologically challenged shit console. Keep shoveling the shit!
whats sad isPosted: May 23, 2008 12:00AM PST by abercrombieco2
that people are wasting money on this thing on ebay, why would any one in the world pay double the price for somthing like this. personaly i think this is one of the dumbest ideas ever. i can see why some ppl will like it but i wouldn't spend money on this.
Nintendo has always innovatedPosted: May 23, 2008 12:00AM PST by joeyatog
and they will continue to do so. Wii Fit is a great idea and will sell a lot. So what if everyone doesn't want it? No game is made for everyone. I think this casual vs. hardcore market is really just expanding the dominance of Video Games as an entertainment medium. Games make more money than movies, cds, books, everything. Why wouldn't a company want to cater to as many audiences as possible?
the average hardcorePosted: May 23, 2008 12:00AM PST by ibanezdropd
gamer would consider most of what nintendo makes... remedial in terms of advancement... that what most would say, but there are plenty of hardcore gamers that like the wii.. i am not one of them... i like mario kart, but wii fit will never get any of my money. i'll go to a real gym. i am not saying that the wii's motion controller isn't a great advancement, but the games are overly simplified. to a generation that grew up playing games... much of what nintendo publishes is remedial.
Eh.Posted: May 23, 2008 12:00AM PST by TheBleakCorner
speak. And they can all be wanting to sell some digital exercise bike, they're really not going to lose their toymaker stigma, all of a sudden.
Nice erm.. comparisonPosted: May 23, 2008 12:00AM PST by TheBleakCorner
"glorified bathroom scale" That made me smile. Nintendo sells toys. They always did and they always will. Very good ones, don't get me wrong - but their strategy has been different from day one. And well, as a toymaker you want your products to have longevity. Digital versions of Monopoly, so to speak.

The fundamental problem with Jose Mourinho potentially returning to Chelsea is the fact that the club would be falling straight back into the trap of seeking a short-term solution when that is exactly what is not required.
At the beginning of the season it seemed as though the club were going to build on a strong foundation of talented young players with a bright, ambitious, Champions League-winning coach, but all they have done is slip back into their old ways and it is depressing to see.
As a club, Chelsea can often be seen to be pretty incestuous and to live in their own world, and to return to Mourinho's methods of finding quick fixes in expensive, already well established talent would be a potentially very damaging backward step.
There is an old adage in football to 'never go back', and it is for very good reason. Far too often we have seen top managers return to clubs where they have had success, only for their second spells to be an unmitigated disaster. Chelsea are risking an awful lot if they turn back to Jose.
There are far more negatives attached to Mourinho going back to Chelsea than positives, and we should not forget the way he ended his reign at the club with the negativity off the field even surpassing the negativity on it.
Chelsea will return to playing football that is like watching paint dry under the Portuguese, and it will be the end of the free-flowing and exciting play the club produced under Roberto Di Matteo at the start of the campaign.
Roman Abramovich will certainly not hesitate to sack Mourinho again if he doesn't deliver immediately, and it all just leads to greater instability and a higher turnover of players.
The last thing that Chelsea need right now with a cluster of prodigiously talented youngsters is for a coach like Mourinho to bulldoze his way through the squad, with the help of his super agent Jorge Mendes, seeking short-term success and not caring about the development of the team.
If I was a young player in the Chelsea ranks I would be poised to leave immediately if Mourinho is appointed this summer because his track record speaks volumes for the way that he refuses to nurture and develop young talent, choosing instead to bring in experienced stars who deliver fast results.
There is no way that Mourinho would even be considering the role at Chelsea unless he had been given guarantees from Abramovich about having a vast amount of money to spend, and there will likely be wholesale changes over the summer as a result.
He is not a coach who will look at the young talent in his squad or look to work with the players as individuals - he will simply chat to his representative about bringing in top stars from across Europe, then piece it all together after spending enormous sums of money.
Every time we think Chelsea are moving on and finally understanding that establishing a settled young side under a manager with integrity and positive intentions is the way to go, the club disappoint and return to the negativity and short-sightedness for which they are now associated.
Mourinho should not return to Stamford Bridge, but it is clear why he wants to go back to the club after a failed stint at Real Madrid with his stock lower than before; but Chelsea must not make another huge mistake and come to their senses - quickly.

The Gazzetta dello Sport have claimed that Los Blancos are keen to add the Italy international to their backline with Pepe strongly linked with a move to Manchester City.
Carlo Ancelotti's men will try to lure the 28-year-old away from the Bianconeri with a four-year contract worth €4.5m per season.
It is unlikely that the Italian champions will want to sell their inspirational defender though, especially given Chiellini has another two years remaining on his contract.
Barcelona officials have reportedly already met with Cesc Fabregas who confirmed he would turn down Manchester United.
The midfielder has been the subject of continued speculation this summer, with reports suggesting that the player was considering his future.
However, Sport report today that the player's intentions are to stay at the Camp Nou, buoyed by Gerardo Martino's intended direction with the team.
Whilst Martino is expected to formally meet with Fabregas later this week, Mundo Deportivo suggest the player has already made clear to the club his intentions.
It is understood that officials from the Blaugrana have already contacted Fabregas and his agent in recent days to ascertain if there was any truth to his reported desire to leave, to be told by both that his desire is to remain with the Catalans.
An evening report on Catalunya Radio then claimed that Fabregas has had no contact at all with Manchester United.
Jonathan dos Santos has warned Real Sociedad that they are not the only team in for him, whilst he asserts his Barcelona future is down to Gerardo Martino.
The Mexican has been linked this summer with an exit from the Camp Nou, although whether on loan or through a permanent sale seen as having held up a move to Real Sociedad.
Reflecting on the situation in today's edition of Sport, the 23-year-old indicated that he is prepared for any eventuality ahead of an expected meeting to determine his future with new Coach Martino.
"We must wait. I will see what [Martino] thinks, but I am calm, training 100 per cent every day and everything else will follow," Dos Santos commented.
"In football anything can happen. Now I am here with Barca, I am working hard and I cannot say much more.
"It is true that last year I have not played much and that some important teams are now interested in me, but again for now I am here, I'm happy to be here and we shall see what happens in the coming days.
"Real Sociedad? They are a group that have had a great season, they have Carlos Vela, young players, they are in the play-offs for the Champions League, if they don't get into that then they'll be in the Europa League, but other teams are also interested in me.
"For now I am with Barca and I am not thinking about anything else."
Capped a handful of times by his country, the midfielder was asked of his hopes to make next year's World Cup.
"Of course I am thinking about the World Cup and I need to have minutes to get on to the list. This is important whether with Barcelona or another club.
"It is what I need right now to aspire to be in Brazil."
Roberto Soldado rejoined Valencia on Sunday evening for a first training session of the summer, even as Tottenham reportedly close in.
Reports over the weekend in Spain have suggested that the 28-year-old is set to complete a move to the Premier League side inside the next week, after they apparently agreed to pay up his €30m buyout clause.
Despite it seen as imminent that a deal will go through, the player, who returned from extended Confederations Cup vacation on Saturday to watch Los Che play Milan from the stands, rejoined his teammates for a first training session on Sunday evening.
Valencia are reportedly set to conclude a deal to pick up Helder Postiga this week as an immediate replacement for Soldado.
Whilst the likes of Fred and Javier Hernandez have been linked, Valencia are seen as close to wrapping up a deal for Real Zaragoza's Postiga.
The 30-year-old, who scored 14 goals last season in La Liga, has been widely expected to leave Zaragoza this summer following on from their relegation.
However, a transfer fee is yet to be agreed for the Portuguese international and could prove a stumbling block.
Whilst Superdeporte describe the deal as just 'hours away' from conclusion, Los Che are apparently resolute to pay no more than €3m for the striker.
Sevilla were seen to have lost out in a deal for Postiga earlier on this summer with an offer of €4m not meeting Zaragoza's €6m valuation.
Sevilla full-back Alberto Moreno is a target for Real Madrid, according to reports in the Spanish press.
Marca claim that Los Blancos have already enquired about the 21-year-old, who has impressed for the Andalusian side and Spain U21's.
Current full-back Fabio Coentrao looks likely to leave this summer, with Napoli and Tottenham both linked with the Portugal international.
As such, Carlo Ancelotti's men will look to sign the former Sevilla youth graduate and continue their transfer policy of bringing in young Spanish players.
Moreno could be available for a fee of around €5m.
Antonio Adan has not travelled with Real Madrid to America, so he can try and find a new club for next season.
The goalkeeper played a part against Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain during preseason, but Carlo Ancelotti did not include the 26-year-old is his squad for the Stateside tour so as to resolve his future.
Adan was told he could leave Los Blancos earlier this summer in order to find more playing time.
Moves to Elche, Almeria, Rayo Vallecano and Getafe have all failed to materialise for different reasons, so the goalkeeper will stay in Spain to talk with clubs over a potential move.
Malaga are closing in on securing Polish striker Bartlomiej Pawlowski on a season long loan deal.
The 20-year-old has flown into the Costa del Sol this Monday morning and has reportedly already passed a medical.
Capped at Under-21 level by his country, it is believed that the Anchovies have secured the young striker on an initial season-long loan deal from Widzem Lodz.
Malaga are believed to also have a purchase option for around €1m in place and they reportedly have a contract already lined up with Pawlowski for three years plus the option of a fourth, should they make permanent his stay.
Pablo Piatti's agent is expected in Valencia today and tomorrow to evaluate offers on the table to leave Los Che this summer.
The Argentine winger has been linked with a move away this summer, with it reported that offers from both Metalist of Ukraine and Philippe Montanier's Rennes have come in.
Whilst the club have been seen through preseason as pushing Piatti to accept one of these deals, the player has been described up to this point as intent on playing his way into Miroslav Djukic's plans for the new season.
However, on from seeing youth team player Fede Cartabia start ahead of him at the weekend against Milan, Piatti and his agent are set to once more meet with Valencia officials this week.
The player's representative is expected in the city today and tomorrow to run through offers that remain in place for his services.
The 24-year-old is seen as at least eager to remain in Spain this summer, with former club Almeria reportedly interested, alongside Celta Vigo.
However, with both clubs unlikely to be able to fund a permanent move nor be able take a majority of the player's wages in any loan agreement, Superdeporte believe that Valencia will look to arranging other deals first.

Welcome to Hell
8/26/2014 1:00 PM PDT, by Sarah Taylor
Off the cuff, you might think that a "Full House" reboot/reprisal/reunion would be the best thing all decade long, but if you actually sat and consider it for a minute, you'll agree: no oh God, no it's not.
It's been confirmed: John Stamos has announced that "Full House" will undergo a revival, and most of the cast seems to be on board in some way, shape, or form (except for the Olsen twins, because of course not). Even the original producers and writers are said to be returning, and everything is being developed from the ground up on the basis of the original show.
As for why it's not a good idea, come on ... "Full House" was childhood 80's/90's nostalgia magic. "Full House" was the original T.G.I.F. There's no recreating that, and to try in vain will only result in disappointment and letdowns. I mean, we all love ourselves some Uncle Jesse pretty hard, but have you even seen the things he-who's-spearheading-this-whole-thing has been doing lately? Because they involve taking selfies ... naked ones, guys. Naked Uncle Jesse ones.
Do we really want ultra modern naked social media selfies to mar the love we have for a show that practically raised us? No, guys -- the answer is a collective, resounding "no." Please -- let sleeping dogs lie, am I right?

As far as I could get into my own investigation is to find out that he works for American Recovery Services Inc. This is a repossesion company and nothing more.
I have been literally threatened to be turned into my "PAROLE" officer, in which I don't have and never did have!! He has gone to extremes to tell others that I would go back to prison where I have never been!!
He has called my family members and proceeded to tell them that my website accounts were not very nice. I pulled up my accounts to see that he had signed into them and lied to everyone about my accounts.
He proceeded to tell me that he knows I don't pay my bills and he knows this for a fact. There isn't anyone in todays economy that can pay their bills while unemployed!!!
Everyone knows how hard it is today to find a job in which I have been seeking employment for almost a solid year.
I also contacted Harley-Davidson and told them if they pulled him off the case I would tell them where the motorcycle was!!
They in return pulled him off the case and I contacted someone else and told him exactly where my bike was!!
Today, I got another phone call from "Investigator" Brown telling me that I lied and the motorcycle was not there.
I under no circumstances lied about the whereabouts of the motorcycle!! He also threatened my mother to call the apartments where she lived, and cause problems for her!!
I am fed up with his accusations and him trying to push me around!! I will not tolerate anyone to try to cohearse me into telling them any information!! There is a lot more information I have written down.
Something needs to be done with this company, as they lie to everyone and try and make them believe the lies and upset others.

Mortality patterns of marine turtles entangled in fishing gear, found dead at sea or stranded dead on and around the coast of Britain in the period 1992–1996 are described. Of a total of 38 dead turtles identified, 35 were leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) and three were loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta). All D. coriacea were considered adults or subadults nearing sexual maturity. Six individuals were assessed as females, ten were classified as males and 19 were not sexed. Dermochelys coriacea (N=20 measured) ranged from 120 to 210 cm in curved carapace length (mean, 152 cm). The three C. caretta were juveniles, and ranged from 15 to 30 cm curved carapace length. Possible origins, causes of mortality and interactions with fisheries are discussed. In addition, contaminant levels were determined in the tissues of three D. coriacea. Concentrations of organic contaminants determined were found to be low.

At the heart of every Thanksgiving meal are some of the healthiest and most wholesome foods. Sweet potatoes, cranberries, green beans, pumpkin, and even the turkey become fodder for a calorie-fest when we smother them in sugar, butter, and even marshmallows. Chef Aida Mollenkamp has taken our favorite traditional recipes and made them over for Biggest Loser, giving us all the seasonal flavors we love without the fat and calories we won't even miss.
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Heat oven to 325°F and arrange racks in the upper and lower thirds. Using a pastry brush, coat two rimmed baking sheets with a thin layer of the oil; set aside.
Trim the ends of the beets, peel them, then use a mandoline or a very sharp knife to cut into paper thin (1/8-inch) disks. Drizzle beets with remaining oil, season with the kosher salt, and toss to coat. Divide among two rimmed baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. (You may need to do this in batches.)
Bake, rotating halfway through, until chips are light pink, edges are crisp, and they are beginning to dry out, about 30 minutes total. Place the baking sheets on wire racks to cool until crisp, about 5 minutes. (They will last up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container.)
Serve with Sweet Potato and Sage Dip

a healthy alternative to HARIBO Bear ハリボーのクマさんが欲しい時に
Posted by lchchchiyo on Nov 18, 2012
love its handy packaging,cute bear shape(can't see significant diffrence from HARIBO's)and great ingredients choice but each gummies itself tastes a bit bland to me especially when you compare with the same flavours from their candy line, a lack of soureness i guess... ハリボーのくまさんグミ激似の外見に便利な個別包装、そしてオーガニックの原材料については文句なし、ただ3種のお味がちょっと似たり寄ったりかな…特に同社のキャンディーの同じフレーバーと比較すると酸味が控えめ、ある意味「あのキャンディーは酸っぱすぎた」と言う人にはよいのカモ。

The pack contains 10 little packs. It is written on the pack that 1 little pack per day gives the 100% of vitamine C. My child ate 2 packs by accident and went allergic all over. So it's not a sweet candy, more a source of Vit.C. Be careful.
very good

If the 49ers want receiving help, Jerry Rice is willing to contribute – as a consultant.
No, Rice isn't looking to put back on a 49ers uniform, three years after getting enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for his unparalleled, 20-year career.
Nor is Rice looking at becoming a full-time coach. But to "maybe counsel these guys, I'd love to do that," Rice said Monday on a media conference call promoting his role in the upcoming Golf Channel series "Big Break NFL Puerto Rico."
Hire this guy now!!! jerry rice would be a perfect coach for our receivers. imagine vernon davis learning fundamentals from rice?! BEAST MODE!

Toll road deal may seem dumb but the tactic has worked before
- From: Herald Sun
- March 20, 2013
DUMB, dumb, and - because of the precedent - it would be even dumber.
That's if new premier Denis Napthine and his new treasurer Michael O'Brien were to fall for the main-chancing offer from new (and well-named) boss of the EastLink toll road, one Dennis Cliche.
For if they did, they would reveal themselves as even bigger wood ducks than their Labor predecessors, former premier Steve Bracks and his treasurer, John Brumby.
They would be repeating exactly what was quite simply the straight-out dumbest deal I've ever seen between a government and a private business.
Bracks and Brumby handed over hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to our first toll road operator CityLink - and gave it a free profit by directing more fee-paying cars and trucks to its Monash and Tullamarine tollways.
Now Cliche wants Napthine and O'Brien to repeat the favour for him and EastLink. Repeat it exactly.
First, by handing over to him and EastLink, similar hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. And then directing more fee-paying customers to EastLink's existing tollway and also to what would then be its "new" Eastern no-longer freeway.
That's the guts of what Cliche has really proposed with his main-chancing "offer" to the State Government to buy the state-owned and operated Eastern Freeway, and then to toll it.
To purportedly help fund the proposed east-west tunnel link.
In the words of our esteemed boss on another subject, News Ltd CEO Kim Williams: Bollocks.
Now, Roads Minister Terry Mulder has sort of knocked the offer back. It would be far better if Napthine and/or O'Brien did as well, and did so with extreme prejudice.
That is to say, if they did it with some indication they understood just how outrageous it was, as it would rip off either Victorian taxpayers or Victorian motorists or most probably both. And do so for the next 30 or so years.
Former premier Jeff Kennett half-understands this; as he pointed out yesterday, it's never been cheaper for governments to go out and borrow long-term money to build infrastructure. Thanks to the dreadful state of the global economy and those near-zero interest rates in Europe, the US and Japan.
This is especially true for prime borrowers such as the state of Victoria. We are the only state to still have a triple-A credit rating with a stable outlook.
Now true, we want to keep that. And with a budget that will be under stress, we have to be careful not to borrow too much and/or spend it badly.
Queensland has shown you can go from the stingiest and lowest-debt state to deep in debt and the loss of your top credit rating in the matter of just a few years.
But that is not an excuse, far less a reason, to embrace something as dumb as this proposal.
For what it means is that instead of the state of Victoria directly borrowing $1 billion or $2 billion at an interest rate of 4 per cent, we would effectively get EastLink to borrow the money at 12-15 per cent, "on our behalf".
And no, it and its shareholders would not be paying that interest bill, we would be.
We would pay it either via the government selling the Eastern freeway too cheaply. Or we would pay it via the new tolls on it, set to generate enough for EastLink to pay the interest bill and make a profit.
In short, why on earth would Victorians want to indirectly borrow $1-2 billion at a 15 per cent interest rate - and annual interest bill of $150-300 million a year?
When we could borrow that money directly at 4 per cent and an annual interest bill of just $40-$80 million a year?
The first is exactly what happened when Bracks and Brumby fell, back in 2006-07, for a similar "offer" from CityLink, to fund the upgrades to the Monash and Tullamarine freeways.
As I wrote at the time, Brumby as Treasurer went into a room for an arm-wrestle with a heavy from Transurban that owned CityLink, and emerged with a big smile on his face.
Unbeknownst to him, he had also emerged armless and with his pockets - actually, the taxpayer's pockets - plucked to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Further because of the upgrades, more cars and trucks would end up using the CityLink toll roads. And most of that money went to - you guessed it, CityLink, not the taxpayer.
Cliche wants all of it so far as the eastern and his existing EastLink are concerned.
Interestingly there's one man in the Napthine government that would remember. The shadow treasurer at the time, one Kim Wells.

Famous Hugs Of Salman Khan That Made Headlines
After the second hug at Baba Siddiqui's Iftar party, Salman and Shahrukh are making news again. The famous Iftar hug has been repeated again. Last year, Salman Khan and SRK made headlines after they hugged each other.
We all know the rivalry of Salman and Shahrukh which is immensely popular in Bollywood. However, keeping all this at bay and being good on such occasions has been a treat to the eyes.
Well this is not the first time Salman Khan shocked with a hug! There have been many momentous events where Salman Khan raised many eyebrows with a hug. The Jadoo Ki Jhappi has been one of his ways off lately to make headlines or sort out unsolved issues.
For example, Salman Khan was on a hugging spree last year. From hugging Shahrukh at Iftar party to giving a warm hug to Abhishek Bachchan, Salman has tried his friendly way to create magic. Well, at least for his inner circle of friends and for the cameras.
Apart from Iftar hug, one of the memorable hugs of Salman Khan is with Amitabh Bachchan. Everyone knows the reason as Big B's bahurani (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) who is Salman's ex flame made Salman avoid Bachchans post break up. Same way, when Salman hugged Abhishek Bachchan who is the husband of his ex girlfriend, Aishwarya Rai, it was shocking.
However, it seems like Salman is in a friendly mood and want to leave the past behind. Here are the best hugs of Salman Khan that made headlines.
