OK, Olympia. here's your "official" reminder for today. The show will be aired on NBC this afternoon, 4-6 PM EST. As always, check your local listings!
Thanks! The countdown begins. Imagine getting to see the skaters and all the gymnasts in one fell swoop.
It's on right now here. I'm watching Ashley.
Well, it's not on here. They're showing a rerun of Access Hollywood. Who knows? Maybe we'll get a shortened version at 4:30.
Team sports as usual...hockey went into overtime.
I hate when skating gets pre-empted due to other sports coverage ...
I recorded it & was glad that I did as I wound up ffing through commercials & gymnastics. Not a fan of either.
I REALLY didn't like this show. First of all, i kept worrying that the skaters would run into that ridiculous stage, I like competitive gymnastics and not this foo-foo stuff, and why on earth when people are skating do they have to show the band! I don't care what the band members look like- I want to see the skaters! I dont' know who produced this show but they didn't do a good job of it. I can watch MTV if I want to see band members. I will say Ashley looked very graceful and the Shibs were cute. I was most worried about Charlie and Meryl running into that stage because they cover so much ice. Same thing with Jeremy.
Well - at least the skaters probably got some $$$ out of this.
i agree that the "rink" was a joke, that would be so difficult to skate on. There's hardly any room to jump. And i TOTALLY agree about them showing the bands, i want the camera on the athletes, not the musicians! we hear their music and that's good enough for me. my favorite performance were the Shibs, it was adorable! (a pairs team at my rink skated to the "anything you can do, i can do better" song in an ice show a few years ago, it was SO cute. Jaylyn kelly and gabe woodruff, not sure if anyone remembers them...2007 novice bronze medalists i believe). Are the gymnastics routines improv or choreographed? Gah the watered down content kills me. just at least to a double back or something, not another back handspring...
Nadia's left eye looked odd. Hope she is okay! I too was worried they would hit the stage or the lights.

John Dudley: Browns had a good week, but draft test remains
The Cleveland Browns have spent the past three days watching some of the AFC North's rich become poorer.
Pittsburgh cut ties with Willie Colon and James Harrison and let Mike Wallace and Rashard Mendenhall walk.
Baltimore lost linebackers Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe, wideout Anquan Boldin and cornerback Bernard Pollard and, as of Thursday afternoon, appeared set to say goodbye to safety Ed Reed. And those losses came on the heels of Ray Lewis' retirement.
And Cincinnati re-signed defensive ends Wallace Gilberry and Robert Geathers while losing underused linebacker Manny Lawson to the Dolphins. The Bengals have so far stayed out of the buyer's market.
All of this means the Browns have the opportunity to close the gap between themselves and the division's other three teams.
They took a step in that direction by signing Kruger to a beefed-up defense that also welcomes two other newcomers in lineman Desmond Bryant and linebacker Quentin Groves. All three could become important pieces in new coordinator Ray Horton's overhauled 3-4 look.
With the Ravens and Steelers in transition and the Bengals failing so far to make any significant upgrades, the Browns, at this point, are the AFC North's most improved team.
That's the good news. The not-so-good news is that the Browns went into free agency with less overall talent on their roster than the rest of the division.
But, as we've seen in recent NFL seasons, it doesn't necessarily take multiple offseasons to effect meaningful turnarounds.
With the draft five weeks out, it's fair to say the Browns can turn their attention to the offensive side of the ball.
They'll need to decide whether to select yet another quarterback, whether to spend a high pick on a receiver or wait for the June 1 cuts to perhaps pluck a veteran wideout, and how many draft picks to spend on improving their offensive line.
But ask yourself this: When was the last time the Browns went into the draft without significantly more needs than the Steelers or Ravens?
It's been awhile.
Pittsburgh needs to add depth at cornerback, linebacker, along the offensive line and possibly at receiver.
Baltimore has needs across its defense, notably at the back end, particularly so if Reed doesn't return.
Under the new Joe Banner/Mike Lombardi/Rob Chudzinski brain trust, the Browns appear to slowly be removing the stigma of losing that has made it difficult for the franchise to attract free agents, and has forced the Browns to overpay when they've managed to land them. One example was the $7 million they gave Jake Delhomme to throw for 872 yards in 2010. Scott Fujita, so far, is another.
Getting the 27-year-old Kruger, a young player on the rise from the reigning Super Bowl champs for perhaps less than market value, is a sign Cleveland is again becoming an attractive destination.
But the Browns' work is only half done. While Pittsburgh typically shies away from the free-agent shopping season, both the Steelers and Ravens -- and in recent years the Bengals -- have consistently outperformed Cleveland in the draft.
The Browns are poised to emerge as the AFC North's big winners in March. But history suggests they'll still need to come out ahead of their division rivals in April to have the best chance at ensuring success.

Our Dallas Public Library needs your support this year as never before. The role of the Friends of the Dallas Public Library is critical to offsetting unprecedented proposed cuts to our city's budget – cuts which will mean the loss of millions of dollars in library funding.
The sole mission of the Friends of the Dallas Public Library is to support the library system. Since we began in 1950 our impact has been enormous:
- Organized the campaign to build the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library
- Led the way in the creation of 26 branches throughout the City of Dallas
- Funded two Bookmobiles that deliver library services directly to Dallas neighborhoods
- Continues the floor by floor renovation of the Central Library
- Developed one of the finest rare book collections housed in a public library
- Generates grants and scholarships for the devoted library staff
- Provides funding for programs vital to Dallas citizens of all ages
Private support of our library system has a long tradition in Dallas. Our first dedicated public library was funded by a gift from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie along with matching monies contributed by local supporters. Our city fathers knew then, as we know now, that a strong and vibrant library system is at the heart of Dallas' continued growth and prosperity.
Join now and make a profound difference in our beloved library system during these challenging times. Thank you for helping ensure our library's future.

The Chevrolet Volt has been a bit of a lightning rod in the
automotive industry and political arena. The vehicle was first shown as a concept
back in early 2007 and went into production in late 2010.
The Volt can
travel from 25 to 50 miles on battery power alone before the gasoline
engine/generator kicks in to keep the vehicle moving. All of this
technowizardry comes at a steep entry price, however. The Volt's base MSRP is $41,000
before a $7,500 tax credit.
Because of the Volt's high price tag and GM's past bankruptcy,
the Volt program has come under a lot of scrutiny. Rush Limbaugh was a vocal
critic of the Volt, noting
in July 2010:
not going to recommend people go buy an electric car that gets 40 miles to a
charge. That would shoot my credibility. It takes three to four
hours to charge the thing, 40 miles to the charge. And then there's a
backup gas tank that gives you 375 miles. So
who's kidding who here? And all this is 41 grand. This is the most
expensive Chevrolet outside a Corvette.

charge. That would shoot my credibility. It takes three to four

backup gas tank that gives you 375 miles.
who's kidding who here? And all this is 41 grand. This is the most
expensive Chevrolet outside a Corvette.
Bob Lutz, former
vice chairman and "Car Czar" for General Motors, is fighting back
at the critics in a new book due out next month. Lutz, who identifies himself
strongly with conservative ideals, had some harsh criticism for some of the
more vocal critics in the media according
to Motor Trend magazine:
towards the Obama administration is so intense among the right-wing talk-show
hosts that any vulnerability, however tenuous, must be attacked and blamed on
'socialist influence', with no regard to truth or to the damage these reckless
claims can make to GM, an American corporation, to the dedicated and
hard-driving members of the Volt team, and to a now-misinformed public that may
be steered away from a transportation solution that would fill their needs perfectly.
Lutz went on to say that these people hurt the credibility
of the Republican Party. The outspoken Lutz doesn't take too kindly to people
criticizing the hard work that went into developing the Volt, and feels that
the Volt is just the beginning of a new wave of advancements in automotive powertrain
The skeptics, the pundits, the GM haters, and those who detest lithium-ion as a chemistry will all be dragged, however unwillingly, to the same conclusion. Volt
paved the way; Volt was the first with the extended-range EV concept; Volt
demonstrated the will and the technological capability of General Motors.
And to all the doubters, opponents, critics and skeptics… [including] Glenn
Beck, I say: 'Eat your hearts out. Volt is the future'.
The Chevrolet Volt (EPA classified as a compact) is
definitely not for everyone – its high price of entry (before tax credit) makes
it a non-starter for many people. And in many cases, sub-$20,000
compact cars that can achieve 40 mpg or greater on the highway and roughly 33 mpg combined
make better buying options. Likewise, hybrids like the Prius, Fusion,
and Sonata
offer more room than the Volt, excellent fuel economy, and much lower price
However, for those that like to stay
away from gas pumps as much as possible, but still want the added security
of a gasoline backup when needed, the Volt makes a credible alternative to
all-electric vehicles like the Leaf.
quote: I am not sure why you would need a wind gen. that large or go 500 mph to charge. there are small 5 kw wind. generators on the market that can provide a whole house electricity with 20 mph winds. they are bigger than a standard alternate, but they are not tha big.
quote: I understand the limitations of the solar panels with night, but it seems like you could supplement the system with it, especially with the new thin film panels.
quote: keeping the ice, wouldn't be so bad if you could use methanol, ethanol, hydrogen, or something a lot cleaner than gas.

This year's virulent strain of flu has killed a patient in Blair County, according to the latest information from the state Department of Health.
Widespread in Pennsylvania and most of the country, the flu has also killed three patients in Centre and one in Bedford County, according to the department's website.
The outbreak has led one local nursing home to quarantine a building and hospitals and other facilities to restrict visitation.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
HeathSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Altoona has posted a no entry sign for people suffering from the flu in its main entrance vestibule near Valley View Boulevard.
It has also raised the possibility that if things get much worse, facilities could put into practice the more radical elements of their disaster plans.
The Mirror was unable to obtain any specific demographic information about the Blair and Centre county deaths Tuesday afternoon from the state or local hospitals.
But the Bedford County victim was an elderly woman who lived in a nursing home and developed complications of pneumonia, dying Jan. 7, according to Beth Hullihen, infection control specialist with UPMC Bedford Memorial.
Statewide, the flu has killed 40 people since the season began Oct. 2, with all but six at least 65 years old and none were younger than 25, the state said.
The number of cases confirmed by lab tests continues to rise week-by-week in Pennsylvania, with a total of 16,500 case reported so far this season. That's actually just "the tip of the iceberg," as most diagnoses are "presumptive," without testing, according to the website.
Hollidaysburg Veterans Home on Friday quarantined Arnold Hall on its complex, after four residents there tested positive for flu, said Joan Nissley, spokeswoman for the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
The home is allowing no visitors and no new admissions at Arnold. It is also not taking those residents on activity trips, Nissley said. The home has reduced resident and staff movement from unit to unit and building to building to deter the spread of the illness, Nissley said.
The home is offering residents and staff the anti-viral medication Tamiflu, beginning Monday, she said.
And the home, along with the other five state veterans homes, is conducting two sessions to retrain staff on the use of masks and gloves to prevent the spread of flu, Nissley said.
Altoona Regional Health System on Tuesday tightened visitation rules to protect patients, staff and the public.
Until further notice, every visitor must be at least 18 and a member of the patient's immediate family or a caregiver, according to a hospital news release. Only two visitors at a time can be at a patient's bedside.
Visitors to maternity patients must wear surgical masks, which the hospital will provide.
As always, anyone feeling ill, especially those with cold or flu symptoms, should not visit, according to the news release.
The hospital can make exceptions for critical cases, according to Dr. Linnane Batzel, chief medical officer.
The hospital has been reminding doctors' offices to provide masks to patients they send to the hospital or at least encourage them to ask for masks when they arrive, Batzel said.
Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College, which has handled about 40 cases per week over the last three weeks, has not restricted visitation, but is asking those who feel sick not to visit, spokeswoman Elle Morgan said.
The hospital is providing masks, tissues and hand sanitizers at its kiosks, Morgan said.
Some care facilities are monitoring employees for signs of sickness and asking those who are sick to go home, said Shannon Calluori, director of the state Bureau of Public Health Preparedness.
"Maybe a nurse would greet employees at the employee entrance door," she said.
It would help stem the outbreak if everyone who gets sick would stay home, she said.
A few hospitals statewide have activated medical surge plans, Health Department spokeswoman Holli Senior said.
One of those is Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, which set up tents outside to handle an influx of patients with the flu.
Hospitals can use such fully equipped tents or separate buildings on their campuses to "triage" patients exhibiting flu symptoms.
They can treat the non-acute patients, give them a prescription and send them home, for example, Calluori said. They can send the ones who need testing or admission in to the hospital, she said.
The tents or other triage centers reduce the risk of spreading the contagion and take the pressure off emergency rooms, she said.
Altoona Regional's disaster plan allows for transformation of its observation floor into a quarantine area, Batzel said.
The hospital can isolate the air flow to that floor, she said.
The plan doesn't call for setting up a tent outside, but the hospital has a tent available, if necessary, Batzel said.
The disaster plan sets specific triggers for activation, Batzel said.
"We're nowhere near that level," she said.
But officials are watching, she said.
If things get worse at Mount Nittany, there's space in the newly expanded emergency room to create a quarantine area, Morgan said.
It helps that all emergency room patients and all flu patients admitted to the hospital get private rooms, Morgan said.
Activation triggers depend on the nature of an outbreak, the number, age and acuity of patients, the available space, the number of critical employees, and the number of employees who have called in sick, Calluori and Morgan said.
Meanwhile, individuals can help prevent the flu from spreading by taking care of themselves and practicing courtesy, health officials emphasized.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends vaccinations for everyone older than six months. This season's vaccine is about 62 percent effective, according to the CDC.
Altoona Regional also offered some common-sense advice similar to the urgings parents give their children.
"Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw your tissue in the trash. Perform hand hygiene afterward," the news release said.

DURHAM — "American Idiot," the rock opera by Green Day, took the stage Tuesday night at the Durham Performing Arts Center and showed that you don't need to wait until a band is retired to make a musical, you just need to make it good. "American Idiot" is. Here in Durham for two nights, it's the tour of the Broadway show based on the California band's 2004 album of the same title. "American Idiot" is about the coming of age of three young men wanting out of suburbia. It's a universal story of being an angst-ridden young man who needs to go on an adventure – good or bad – to come of age. Alex Boniello, the understudy of lead character Johnny, performed Tuesday night and did a great job as the guy whose suburban angst results in urban drug addiction. Dan Tracy as Tunny, who joins the Army and goes to war, does a fantastic job as well as Casey O'Farrell as Will, the guy who stays behind on the couch with a pregnant girlfriend.
The show itself is 95 minutes of nonstop Green Day, so fans will enjoy it most. At first fans might be listening to how closely songs like "Holiday," "American Idiot," "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" sound like Green Day, but once you are immersed in the show the songs take on a more universal meaning, and having multiple cast members sing them remind us these songs can speak for more than just a few people. The talent of Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day's lead singer and writer, is on display in a different way with a musical and reinforces the band's place in music history. It's even better that 20 years after they came on the main stage musically, the band is still together and still making music. Visually, the show works. There are multiple televisions mounted on a wall the height of the stage, with reminders of 2004 like clips of former President George W. Bush and other news of the era. To depict the Iraq War, green night vision videos of battle cements it as an immediate visual representation of that war. Audiences might think, has it been 10 years already? It's more than a groundbreaking musical that proves current music has a place in musical theater. For audiences in their 30s, it's also nostalgia for those who didn't think they were old enough for nostalgia in theater. Like "Hair," "Memphis" and "Motown" will bring up memories for older audiences, "American Idiot" is one for the generation who is past college but not quite middle aged. It's a time period when you can relate to some of the youth on stage but also want to tell them to quit whining and contribute to society already. It's also a reminder of those you've known who never did make it off the couch, and those whose lives were forever changed by our modern wars. Green Day's songs – especially if first heard in youth -- take you back to a moment in time. Every song is tied to a memory, and "American Idiot" brings that into the big picture. This is a welcome addition to the Broadway canon and Durham is lucky it came through the city, even if for just two nights. The opening night audience included younger fans and those who reached adulthood way ahead of Green Day. But to show the universality of the sound, older audience members jumped to their feet to applaud. And outside after the show, a teenage boy waited by the stage door, the next generation of fans to discover Green Day.
TONIGHT'S SHOW Green Day's "American Idiot" will be performed Wednesday night at the Durham Performing Arts Center. For ticket information, visit www.dpacnc.com.

A family of explorers
Here comes a 50-foot-tall robot! But don't worry, it's only out to explore the Universe. It is made up of 10 NASA spacecraft, gathered into a "Family of Explorers," skating down Pasadena's Colorado Boulevard in the 2005 Rose Parade. The Rose Parade has happened every year on January 1st (or 2nd, if the 1st is a Sunday) for the past 116 years in Pasadena, California. It is seen on TV all around the world.
The first ever!
"Family of Explorers" is the first Rose Parade float ever made by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and California Institute of Technology (Caltech), which manages JPL. JPL and Caltech are located in Pasadena, so it's about time they made a float! Their first-ever float won the newly created Crown City Innovation Trophy for imagination and innovation to advance the art of float design.
The float salutes the space missions managed by JPL and Caltech and the family of scientists, professors, and researchers that made the missions possible. All these spacecraft are currently exploring somewhere in the solar system, either in Earth orbit or beyond . . . way beyond in several cases. Each of them is helping humans take big steps toward understanding Earth, Mars, the Saturn system, comets, the Sun, and the vast Universe beyond.
Not to scale
The real spacecraft range from about the height of a human to over 30 feet tall. But the models on the float are all about the same size. Starting from the bottom, the robot's feet are skating on the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. The right leg is the Genesis spacecraft, on a mission to explore the Sun. The left leg is Jason-1, studying Earth's oceans. The right arm is GALEX, the Galaxy Evolution Explorer telescope. The left arm is Mars Global Surveyor, studying Mars from orbit. On the belly of the robot is Stardust, grabbing comet samples and sending them back to Earth for study. On the chest is GRACE, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment using a new approach to studying the oceans' role in climate. On the back of the right arm is the Spitzer Space Telescope, studying the Universe in infrared light. And like a fancy hat, the Cassini spacecraft with the Huygens Probe are perched on the robot's head, studying Saturn and its moon Titan.
Animated personality
The robot's head moved from side to side. The entire robot tilted from upright to leaning forward by about 15 degrees. Carbon dioxide "smoke" blasted out from the rockets on the robot's backpack. Several strobe lights flashed on the helmet and body. At one point on the parade route, the float had to go under a freeway overpass. The whole robot leaned forward so it was lying face down, going from 50 feet tall to only 17-1/2 feet tall. A counter-balance of 5,000 pounds at the rear kept the float from tipping forward.
Beautifully dressed
About three-quarters of a million flowers decorated the float. Some were small, dried flowers and some were small flowers that were finely cut up and glued on. About 500 pounds of seeds were also glued on. The solar panels on the spacecraft were covered with blue and purple statice, silver leaf, onion seed and crushed rice. Other materials used were carnations, eucalyptus leaf, onion seed, roses, orchids, and gladiolas. The finished float weighed 30,500 pounds!
Team effort
Thousands of people worked on the float! Designer, welders, screeners, mechanics, animators, sound technicians, artists, florists, and more than a thousand volunteer decorators altogether worked about 20,000 hours to complete the float.

The Old Dairy Barn (1891) was designed by Robert H. Robertson to stable brood mares for W. Seward Webb's horse breeding operation. When the enterprise folded, the barn was converted to a dairy barn, until the growing herd was moved to a modern facility near Shelburne House in 1952. The barn continued to be used for agricultural storage.
In 1994, Shelburne Farms acquired the Old Dairy Barn, Breeding Barn, and 400 surrounding acres from the Shelburne Museum. (This part of the property had been donated to the Museum by Webb family descendants.) The Barn has been structurally stabilized with a new roof, foundation, and beams.
The long-range plan is to convert the building into a residential learning center, where students, educators and families can convene for in-depth programs.

The JavaScript language has matured, but it is still lacking in some areas - or is it? Where did it come from? What problems was it initially designed to solve? How has it managed to scale to so many different usage scenarios? What are these scenarios, exactly? What does EcmaScript5 add to the language and what specific problems do these new additions solve? What's missing from the language? How will it evolve? How general purpose is JavaScript, really?
The folks who will be on stage can answer all of these questions, but most importantly, YOU will drive the panel with your own questions. What do you want to know? What's the most burning question you have in your mind related to JavaScript? Answers await.
PS: Sorry about the bad music playing during the introductions. Seems it's a problem that can't be solved in post production... It only lasts for 2 minutes. So, start here if you want to hear what is being said.
Oops, something didn't work.
HTML, JavaScript ,CSS. Legacy!,Legacy!,Legacy!
What must we do to take web development into the next generation?
@Ian2: JavaScript will do just fine in moving the web forward, programmatically speaking. This panel isn't interested in the whole HTML5 picture... This is a general purpose programming language panel focusing on the de facto imperative, dynamic, functional, object oriented language of the web(client) - JS!

Weird (and unfortunate). I have asked the video people to look into this. Sorry about that...
What the f*cking music on background at the begining?
@mmmaaak: it's a bug I hope it will be removed soon. Not sure why it was inserted, but it should be fix-able...
Well, it looks like this audio mess up can't be fixed.... 2 minutes of bad background music is the way it is. Sorry. Nothing they can do about it, apparently. No big deal, the good stuff happens after the intros, anyway
I like the music, but there's a time and a place.
Arrows for Javascript. Haskell in JS, like RxJS. Sweet.
Interesting session; I'm glad I finally got around to watching it.
I wish that the video had of taken the place of the single slide.

Red Faction
Series Metacritic Average: 82
What is it?
Currently: a linear, Mars-set third-person action snoozefest. Formerly: an interesting sandbox game with an amazing line in destruction. The next instalment of the franchise is going to be crucial in establishing just which way the series will go. Let's just hope that it's more like Guerilla than Armageddon.
What could it become?
Oh Red Faction. You went and changed on us, and it didn't work out. You went from Guerilla, an open-world destruction fest – which featured some of the most satisfying instances of scenery demolition found in any game – to Armageddon, a corridor-based shooting gallery in just one step. The series seriously lost its way when it started to focus more on the shooting and less on the explosions, but all is not lost. We'd love to see the series move back to the open-world, and the next-generation of consoles should give Nordic Games considerable grunt to make things go bang. Essentially, there's a gap in the market for an open-world, sandbox game with full destruction. Levelling a whole city with a hammer? 10/10.
Series Metacritic Average: 83
What is it?
The game that finally killed THQ, and a fun-if-uninspired dungeon crawler. There's no denying that Darksiders is popular, it's just not popular enough to carry the weight of an entire company on its back.
What could it become?
Look no further than former dev Vigil Games' own plans for the series: four player co-op. The first two games missed a trick by not enabling more than one player to hack and slash their way through legions of fantasy-themed enemies. Surely Darksiders III would enable all four of the horsemen to team up?
Beyond the number of players, Nordic Games would have a lot of lore to work with: the second game ends on a cliffhanger, and there's plenty of people that bought the last game that would like to see just where the story goes next. Darksiders II improved on the original in many ways, not least in that it didn't take six days to get going. If there's the same level of improvement between II and III – maybe tone down the boring and distressingly frequent ball-rolling puzzles, eh – then this could be awesome. Unless it's rubbish, of course.
Destroy All Humans!
Series Metacritic Average: 64
What is it?
Before Saints Row let players send civvies into a trance with a Dubstep Gun and take tigers for a joyride in an open-top pimp wagon, Destroy All Humans was THQ's go-to goofy game. An extra-terrestrial Grand Theft Auto-alike that switched transit vans for UFOs and AK-47s for anal probes, Destroy All Humans! was one of the last great games from Mercenaries creators Pandemic, before the series was destroyed by THQ's internal teams. Sure, the UFO handling (if you can even call it that?) was a bit fiddly, but when you're laughing your head off from tractor-beaming farm animals and inserting instruments into the anal cavities of FBI agents, who cares?
What could it become?
Following some of its more recent outings, Destroy All Humans! would have been better off blasted into orbit. But when handled correctly, DAH's mix of zany weapons, dark humour and hilarious gameplay could help contribute to a literal out-of-this-world experience. Imagine snatching an unsuspecting farmer from his cornfield, whizzing off into orbit, blowing up a space station and heading back to Roswell in time for a Big Willy burger. That's next-gen.
Series Metacritic Average: 74
What is it?
One of the criticisms we hear most often about racing games is that once you've played one, you've played them all. But in the case of Stuntman, that wouldn't be true. A racing game with a difference, Stuntman pit players in the role of a Hollywood stunt driver, tasking them with zipping through explosive movie sets and pulling off high-speed tricks to win over the director. It was the ultimate James Bond racer, in other words, but the precision-dependent gameplay resulted in the game becoming a tedious exercise in trial and error.
What could it become?
It's difficult to sell a James Bond experience without being able to call it James Bond Experience: The Game, as THQ found out the hard way. So why not do just that? With the industry heading into a digital future, creating a platform that lets players download actual stunt sequences from real-world movies would be an excellent way to promote the film and deliver an innovative racer.
Full Spectrum Warrior
Series Metacritic Average: 75
What is it?
Take one glimpse at Full Spectrum Warrior and you'd be forgiven for writing it off as a generic, modern warfare third-person shooter. But consider this: you don't actually get to shoot anything. Well, not directly, at least. Full Spectrum Warrior was a game built around tactical play, where positioning your two squads and flanking enemy combatants was vital to your success in the field. Struggling to get your head around it? Think XCOM: Enemy Unknown with a tighter, third-person camera and set in a modern day, Middle-Eastern combat situation. And yes, it was every bit as amazing as that sounds.
What could it become?
The success of XCOM proved that an audience still exists for big-budget real-time tactics titles, and Full Spectrum Warrior's modern warfare setting provides a desirable theme should Nordic decide to attempt to crack the market further. Given the quality of the original, it wouldn't need to change too much, either. Give us an improved camera, some dramatic tank-busting set-pieces and rock-hard gameplay, and we're sold.
Supreme Commander
Series Metacritic Average: 81
What is it?
If you haven't heard of Chris Taylor, you probably don't like real-time strategy games. Responsible for the likes of Total Annihilation and Dungeon Siege, Taylor and his studio Gas Powered Games can also lay claim to Supreme Commander, a spiritual sequel to the aforementioned Total Annihilation. Focusing on taking an 'Armored Command Unit' (a giant mech) and building a base, gathering resources and stomping the sense out of fools, it was extremely well-regarded on its release and for good reason. A sequel, the excellently named Supreme Commander 2, followed the same remit although it was, by and large, quite watered down.
What could it become?
Considering Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games still exist – although recently there was a lot of hooha concerning their future and Kickstarter project 'Wildman' – there's no reason why Supreme Commander can't return in some form. The wider community would rather the series returned to its more complex and intricate roots, and considering the Xbox 360 version of the sequel was pure garbage, dedicating efforts to a PC-only title would make sense. To be honest, though, we imagine Nordic Games, for the time being at least, are just interested in selling the original offerings.
Series Metacritic Average: 88
What is it?
Another RTS that is held in very high regard, the first Homeworld marked the debut of Relic Entertainment – now of Company Of Heroes fame – hurling the studio into the limelight in the process. Relying heavily on its different classes, Homeworld stood out in 1999 thanks to its visuals, 3D interface and story. It tried, and succeeded, in making real-time strategy titles more than the sum of their parts. This same ideology carried on with the sequel four years later, ensuring the series is now so revered by fans that if anyone does attempt a third and fails, that company will probably be wiped off the face of the Earth.
What could it become?
Relic is clearly still fond of the license, so it was rather surprising that Gearbox flew in from nowhere and snatched it up for themselves. Having ruined Aliens and Duke Nukem – although the latter wasn't really Randy Pitchford and friends' fault – you better believe there's a contingent ready to storm Texas should the studio release a follow-up and screw it up. For our money, we imagine there must be plans to develop a brand new iteration as buying such a loved IP and then throwing it into the corner is akin to eating a pizza in front of a starving person... while laughing. It's just mean.

Smart phone-wielding visitors arriving in downtown Charleston have a new window into history.
The "Charleston Tour Lite" app is available for downloading in the Google Play store for Android. For more information on it and David Brinkman's other work, visit www.historysoft.com.App info
David Brinkman, a Columbia history buff who writes software for a living, walked around Marion Square Monday afternoon to demonstrate what his new creation will do.
His "Charleston Tour Lite," a free app for Android smart phones, greeted him with, "Hello, I will be your Charleston history tour guide."
As he wandered around the square, his phone would vibrate, a signal that a historical marker was nearby. Its text-to-voice software then would read the marker's text, or, in the case of the John C. Calhoun monument, provide words Brinkman wrote from his own research.
"There has never been a bigger political figure in South Carolina," his phone declared.
The phone's screen displayed a map, as well as blue-red three-dimensional images that can be seen with inexpensive 3-D glasses.
In other words, it's not your grandfather's walking tour.
And it's yet another example of how smart phones and other new technologies are continuing to change how many people come to experience one of America's oldest cities.
'There's just so much'
Brinkman's historical passion stemmed in part from his father, who worked as a director for the state Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism and was involved in planning the state's 1970 tricentennial celebration.
It also stemmed from an archaeological find he made on his property next to the Broad River.
Before turning his attention to Charleston, he had written similar smart-phone apps highlighting historic features of Columbia's Three Rivers Greenway as well as the bottom of Lake Murray.
What makes his Charleston project unique are more than 200 3-D images, many of which were taken by noted Civil War-era photographer George Bernard.
"I've always loved the 3-D photography," Brinkman said, adding that he has collected old stereoviews, an early kind of photography that used two images to replicate human eyesight and create a three-dimensional effect.
He has created a camera that allows him to take similar, current 3-D photos, some of which also are on the app. And he converted about 106 period illustrations to 3-D images as well.
Brinkman hopes the app will appeal not only to visitors touring Charleston, but also to would-be visitors researching a trip here.
"In Charleston, there's just so much," he said. "This app is a way to bring younger people into it and get their interest and appreciation of it."
No big money maker
Brinkman is far from the first to create a smart-phone app that will guide visitors around downtown Charleston.
Tommy Dew, a walking-tour guide, was part of a City Slicker venture that was among the first to create apps for Apple's iPhone after it came out in 2007.
Dew and his partners invested hundreds of hours creating original content for the app, which they originally began selling on iTunes for $9.99.
It featured video snippets from his tours, won several awards and was downloaded about 20,000 times during its most popular week.
However, Dew said City Slickers figured its product would be more valuable if more people used it, so they dropped the price, first to $4.99, then to $1.99, and then began giving it away.
"The trouble has always been monetizing it," he said. "Unfortunately, consumers always expect things on the Internet for free, so we had trouble making money."
Since then there have been hundreds of thousands more new apps on the market, some of which deal with the history and tourism niche.
A work in progress
While Brinkman's app went live last week, he expects to continue to tweak it and add a few dozen more images.
He also is working on a similar app that will work with Apple's iPhone.
As with any new technology, there are glitches.
The text-to-voice software can incorrectly pronounce Calhoun as "Cal-hown" instead of "Cal-HOON." Those driving around the city might get annoyed as the app cuts off in the middle of one narrative because the car and phone have entered the GPS area surrounding another one.
A blue dot may or may not appear on the map, indicating the phone's location.
Depending on the app's reception, Brinkman could expand the app to include even more Charleston markers, or create similar apps for other historic cities.
Others in the city's tour and history business are always looking for ways to use technology to help visitors.
This summer, the S.C. Battleground Preservation Trust is expected to distribute about 50 new cards with QR codes that will link smart phone users with augmented reality images of historic ships and sites.
Perrin Lawson of the Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau said the bureau has optimized its website for use on mobile phones and continues to develop specific apps. It also can move its ticket sales operations to anywhere with a Wi-Fi link. "We couldn't do that a year ago," he said.
The bureau also is working with a private business, City Corridor, to install mobile concierges — large, touch-screen kiosks with GPS mapping — in hotel lobbies around town, particularly where there's limited staff to help guests.
Still, he said some visitors appear at the Visitor's Center suffering from a bit of information overload, and that's where a human touch can help.
"Ultimately, people still want human interaction," Dew said. "You will lean heavily on technology, but when it comes to giving tours and learning, I think the tourist still longs for that human interaction."
Reach Robert Behre at 937-5771.
Some content on the "Charleston Tour Lite" app is original, but much comes from state historical markers throughout the city.×

There is a lot going on tonight. Randy Moss is back in purple, Brett Favre has some 'splaining to do, and Rex Ryan is Rex Ryan. Which means he is swearing.
The 3-1 Jets want to maintain their division lead while the 1-2 Vikings would like to get to .500. Both teams have excellent defenses, excellent running games, and inconsistent passing games. Both teams will have a new addition at receiver tonight (suspended Santonio Holmes will be making his Jets debut tonight).
It should be a good game. Stick around.
And you probably have fantasy football implications riding tonight, anyway. So you're going to want updates.

Difficulty starting or maintaining a urine stream is called urinary hesitancy.
Delayed urination; Hesitancy; Difficulty initiating urination
Urinary hesitancy affects people of all ages and occurs in both sexes. However, it is most common in older men with an enlarged prostate gland.
Urinary hesitancy most often develops slowly over time. You may not notice it until you are unable to urinate (called urinary retention). This causes swelling and discomfort in your bladder.
The most common cause of urinary hesitancy in older men is an enlarged prostate. Almost all older men have some trouble with dribbling, weak urine stream, and starting urination.
Another common cause is infection of the prostate or urinary tract. Symptoms of a possible infection include:
The problem can also be caused by:
Steps you can take to care for yourself include:
Call your doctor if you notice urinary hesitancy, dribbling, or a weak urine stream.
Call your doctor right away if:
Your doctor will take your medical history and do an exam to look at your pelvis, rectum, abdomen, and lower back.
Your doctor may ask questions such as:
Tests that may be performed include:
Treatment for urinary hesitancy depends on the cause, and may include:

|Visualizing Drought Recovery in Plants
How plants refill the vessels that transport water has been under debate for the last 30 years owing to the lack of an in vivo visualization tool at the appropriate temporal and spatial resolution. Now, data generated using high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (HRCT) at Beamline 8.3.2 provide the first visualization of the mechanism plants use to refill vessels, and show water droplets being pumped into air-filled vessels from the surrounding plant tissue, forcing the air bubbles back into solution.
The vessels that transport water through plants are vulnerable to blockage by gas bubbles that form during periods of drought. The ability to restore water flow in blocked vessels was a key adaptation in the colonization of land by plants and has allowed trees to push the limits of plant height to over 100 meters.
Our study provides the first direct evidence that the long standing Cohesion-Tension theory of water transport paradigm does not fully explain how water is transported in plants, and plants appear to regulate internal pressure gradients to refill empty vessels. These data represent a sea change in our understanding of plant hydraulics, and highlight a fundamentally important structure/function relationship that is common to all vascular plants.

Forget Mexico, forget California, forget beaches and cruises and ski resorts everywhere, this event is the greatest way for any music lover to spend their spring break.
Going to SXSW is what inspired me to pick up an instrument.

A huge, week long music festival held in Austin, Texas, featuring thousands of acts. Showcases some of the best up and coming music and technology in the world.
"SXSW is so much fun...too bad the wrist bands are so expensive."
додав Laura H 05 Березня 2006
A giant festival held in Austin, Texas, during Spring Break. It is comprised of Music, Film, and Interactive showcases. Generally, it is a week of crowded bars, free stuff (and often free alcohol), thousands of concerts, afterparties and no parking. Although it is held primarily downtown in clubs and bars, many coffee shops, clothing stores, back alleys, and parks also turn into packed music venues.
I wanted to buy a SXSW wristband, but then I realized I could get into half of the shows for free anyway!

The huge and complex state court lawsuit over toxic waste in the Love Canal neighborhood looks like it may get even bigger and more complex.
In Niagara County Court, lawyers for people who say they have suffered illnesses or incurred property damage from Love Canal waste asked a judge to add 10 more defendants to their lawsuit. The potential new defendants include Occidental Petroleum Corp. and several plumbing and environmental companies that have done work at or near the Love Canal landfill in Niagara Falls.
County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III indicated Monday that he will probably accept a revised complaint that was filed Feb. 22 by the plaintiffs. The proposed complaint adds the 10 new defendants and many new allegations to a complaint filed last year at the inception of the negligence lawsuit seeking $113 million in damages.
Lawyers for more than 550 present and former residents of the Love Canal neighborhood contend that toxic contamination from the landfill has created a "public health catastrophe" in the neighborhood. The residents allege that the contamination has damaged their homes and caused a wide range of illnesses, including birth defects, lung and heart problems, skin rashes and learning disabilities.
Nearly 22,000 tons of toxic chemicals have been stored at the site for decades.
State and federal agencies that monitor the landfill say they are certain that the 70-acre site is being operated safely. The government agencies and Glenn Springs Holdings, the Occidental Chemical subsidiary that operates the landfill, deny allegations that dangerous chemicals are leaking from the site into the neighborhood.
Unless it gets dismissed at some point, the lawsuit is expected to be fought for years before a trial even begins, according to legal experts familiar with the case.
"We're going to be at this for some time, and it's a complex piece of litigation," Murphy said at one point Monday.
Last year, attorneys for the residents sued the City of Niagara Falls, the city Water Board, Glenn Springs Holdings, and Conestoga-Rovers & Associates, an engineering consultant for Glenn Springs Holdings. Those parties all deny any wrongdoing.
Plaintiffs' attorneys asked Murphy on Monday to accept a revised complaint and to allow them to add the following defendants:
• Occidental Petroleum, whose subsidiary, Occidental Chemical, was formerly known as Hooker Chemical, the firm that dumped thousands of tons of toxins at Love Canal decades ago; and Miller Springs Remediation Management, another Occidental Chemical subsidiary.
• CECOS International, an environmental firm that was involved in toxic cleanup operations at the site in the 1980s; and Sevenson Environmental Services, which built the landfill and its water-treatment system.
• Edward S. Roberts, chairman of Conestoga-Rovers, or CRA; and five other companies that have done cleanup work at or near the landfill – Gross PHC, Kandey Co., Op-Tech Environmental Services, Roy's Plumbing, and Scott Lawn Yard.
The new 46-page complaint that Murphy said he is likely to accept includes a number of new allegations about things that the plaintiffs contend have occurred in the Love Canal neighborhood.
"As a result of Defendants' misconduct, chemicals have been and continue to be visible to the naked eye on area roads, sidewalks and grass, and through the sewers and storm drains of this residential community," the lawsuit alleges. "The area has an unnatural absence of worms, mice and other normal biodata. It is also strewn with dead trees and grass. Plaintiffs' and their neighbors' pets are sick. Dead animals are a common sight throughout the area."
Officials of the state Department of Environmental Conservation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency call such claims exaggerations.

After splitting a pair of road games to open the season, Altoona coach John Franco expected a good performance from his Mountain Lions in their home opener against Penn Trafford on Friday.
It didn't happen. Far from it.
Penn-Trafford dominated the WPIAL Class AAAA Foothills Conference game, 19-7, before an Elementary School night crowd at Mansion Park.

Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Penn-Trafford's Timmy Vecchio brushes off a tackle attempt by Altoona's Jaret Berardinelli on Friday.
"I thought our performance was pitiful tonight," Franco said, pulling no punches after emerging from a lengthy postgame coaches' meeting. "Offense. Defense. Both sides of the ball.
"It's frustrating, really frustrating," he said. "We play real well in practice. We do reps after reps after reps and then make mistakes on things that we've repped dozen of times in practice.
"I just don't have the answer for it," he said. "There's no excuse. We've got to go out and make plays. We need to be able to beat teams like this."
Altoona posted a 4-5 record and qualified for the WPIAL playoffs last season when Franco returned to the helm after 18 years in Tyrone. Last night's loss was the Lions' second in three starts and they host state-ranked Gateway next Friday, so it doesn't get any easier.
"You can't point fingers," Franco said. "It's the whole team. At this point, we're just not functioning. Obviously, that's my responsibility.
"I was really displeased tonight," he said. "Last week, we played our hearts out [in a 20-0 loss to Kiski], but there was no excuse tonight. We should have been able to match them. Big home game. Big excitement. We seemed like we were scared.
"I have no answers for it. I'm just really frustrated and at a loss for what the solutions are."
Conversely, Penn Trafford coach John Ruane was all smiles as his club improved to 2-1.
"I'm happy with our effort, especially on the defensive side," Ruane said. "We didn't tackle real well the first two games and weren't as physical as I like, but we were sound tonight.
"We still need to finish on offense but we'll get better," he said. "That No. 9 [Altoona linebacker Kevin Givens] is one of the best players we'll see all year. He's physical and took a lot of stuff away from us."
The Warriors got a 169-yard rushing effort from Devin Austin, a 5-foot-8, 170-pound junior, who did most of his damage from the wildcat set. Quarterback Brett Laffoon passed for 143 yards - mainly short stuff - and completed seven in a row at one stretch.
"Our backs ran real well tonight and we were able to throw the ball effectively," Ruane said.
The Warriors were just as good defensively, limiting Altoona to 172 yards. The Mountain Lions managed only 140 yards on the ground and Givens got 68 of them on one run in the second quarter that led to a 4-yard TD run by Caleb Weston. James Metzgar's PAT gave Altoona a 7-6 lead but PT scored on its next possession and added an insurance score in the third quarter.
"We were playing like a deer in the headlights," Franco said. "That's my fault. Obviously, I'm not preparing them well."
Now 13 games into his second tenure at Altoona, Franco is far from happy with how the program is progressing.
"I don't like where we are," he said. "We have a major challenge ahead. I expected a lot more."

This issue of Perspectives addressed issues related to dizziness and falling. There are three articles in this issue. One article by Angela Smith and Amy Porter specifically addressed issues related to assessing fall risk and make suggestions for intervention. The primary concern raised in this article is the need to reduce falls in the elderly and address how audiologists and physical therapists can work collaboratively to do this. A second article by Faith Akin, Courtney Hall, and Krista Riska addressed an interdisciplinary approach to the assessment and treatment of dizziness. These authors encourage a more cost-effective collaborative relationship between audiologists and physical therapists. The third article by Robin Criter, Jessie Patterson, and Julie Honaker addressed the audiologists' role in assessing risk of falls. These authors suggested that more audiologists need to be involved in screening for the risk of falls in their elderly clients. They raise some interesting research questions, as well as review the tools that are available to both the audiologist and the physical therapist in reducing falls.

Real Lemon
by No Chrysler Fan from Colorado | June 11, 2012
I would never own another Chrysler Town & Country. This car stalls at random times but then will restart. It stalled on my wife 3 times in ONE block once. This is apparently common on T&Cs, BUT no recalls OR no solutions forthcoming from Chrysler! Mechanics simply CAN NOT figure out why it keeps stalling. You can google this problem and find there are over a dozen thoughts on how to fix this, BUT NONE WORK! Bottom line: no one knows WHY it stalls!

This car would be excellent for driving in NE PA's snowy winters, lugging kids and ski's to local ski areas. In the summer it would be great for towing boat, bikes, and kayaks all at once to local lakes. Seats seven adults comfortably and still have room for their life jackets, paddles and picnic supplies.

the front seat panel where the nobbs for the power seats are, comes apart very easly and there is no way to fit this problem. once a check enegine lite comes on expect it to continue three to four times in a matter of 2 months before having a break from repairs.

Berkeley County Sheriff's Office agents have arrested a second suspect in connection with the July 27 Nowhere Bar & Grill shooting.
Steven Moses, 38, was arrested Thursday morning at his Lindy Creek Road residence in Goose Creek, according to information released by BCSO.
Jason Gourdine, 38, was arrested on Wednesday at his Hooks Lane residence.
Gourdine's bond was set at $900,000. Moses' bond is expected to be set Thursday evening.
Both suspects are charged with three counts of attempted murder in relation to the shooting that occurred Sunday shortly after 2 a.m. at Nowhere Bar & Grill, off Henry Brown Boulevard.
At 1:50 a.m. two men entered the bar and were told they would not be served because it was after last call, according to a BCSO incident report.
The suspects then said they were not being served because they were black. Bartenders and customers contested this claim as words were exchanged and a missed punch was thrown at one of the suspects.
The suspects left as staff told patrons to stay inside to give the suspects time to leave, according to the report.
The suspects soon returned and fired shots at the bar, injuring three customers. Two of the victims are husband and wife and both had shotgun pellets inside them, according to BCSO spokesperson Dan Moon.
As of Thursday it is believed that one or more of the victims are still hospitalized, Moon said. One of the victims required surgery to have the pellets removed, according to Moon.
