1st of all, nobody can really deny skillwise, floyd ****s on hearns, no doubt. size is the onyl thing hearns has over floyd, and it cracks me up whe i read threads like this and threads like srl would kill him because they hit harder than him and was faster than him and faced much better competiton than him and all that other bull**** as if floyd has really ever been in serious trouble in his fights. i mean, this guy is considered one of the most technically sound, close to perfect fighters there ever was. roy jones jr, who many of you say was the best you ever seen, called mayweather a complete fighter. he did almost everything right and made it look easy. so how can you judge and say who would ko him, when he's never been ko'ed, let alone knocked down and hurt to a serious degree. zab had the flash off balance shoit on him and his glove touched the canvas, he's never even been knocked on his ass in a professional fight, never...his defense is subperb, his ring generalship is 2nd to none. his ability to counterpunch his opponents off of the block, whether the shoulder roll or hand block is a thing of beauty. this kid can do it all. the only thing that really makes him a little vulnerable is his brittle hands, that's really it, which is why he could hang in there and give competiton to any fighter of the past, hearns included, srl included, hagler, duran, pryor, benitez, whitaker, whoever, it doesn't matter. none of them would beat him easily like you calim with your hatred. you know why because he has never been beaten, let alone beaten easily. now, are they good enough to beat him? hell yeah they are imo. but floyd is also good enough to beat them all, he is that skilled. he moved up the ranks and did so much better than srl and hearns and duran. he stayed undefeated. people can talk about his resume until they are blue in the face, but floyd has made champions look foolish and fought through tough battles, pulled through hand injuries and fought bigger guys and beat them all. his skillset imo is the best skillset of the last 5 decades. i'm talking eveything. he is the most technically superior fighter of his generation and possibly the last 5 generations. that can argued, as far as past greats knocking him out though and beating him easily, you dumb ****s are fooled, seriously fooled. put the coke down, it's really chalk...

Why does everyone assume that height would give Floyd so much trouble? I think height wouldnt bother a guy like Floyd at all. I actually think the opposite. I think he would be a taller guy easier then he would be a shorter guy. His only problem is his weight and physicaly he is just not a real WW which would give all those guys the advantage over him but if they were the same size and Hearns was just taller then that wouldnt bother Floyd at all because he's so fundementaly sound, has a great D, and had great technique. I still say that its nearly impossible for a right hander to hit him clean while he's in his prime

emanuel steward can have his opinion all he wants, but that's all it is. he doesn't fight does he? he don't know ****...he speculates. that all he does. remember, he said sharmba mitchell would give floyd problems, what happened there? this was doing the corley fight...boy what the **** was he on that night? sharmba didn't do ****. he was going to favor baldomir over floyd, if floyd didn't train properly. floyd walked through baldomir doing practically nothing, and won every round. steward needs to give floyd his props and stop all the speculating, coz he always turn out to be wrong when it comes to mayweather. he claimed he never considered floyd great during the oscar fight, when he did earlier in floyd's career. imo, emanuel is a puppet on a string for critics of floyd. i guarantee you, if steward ever trained a fighter against floyd, i don't care if it's cotto, marg, taylor, mosley, floyd makes them look foolish. i would love to see floyd fight hearns and srl and duran and pryor. floyd is an animal, he fight any type of fight and he can beat these guys just as much as they could beat him.

I dont follow popular opinion. I believe Mayweather would give Leonard lots of problems. Leonard was an offensive fighter when all said and done. He liked to get in his rhythm and mix it majority of time, and i believe he would pay for that against Mayweather.
Hearns/Whitaker i see beating him, because Whitaker would make him fight an aggressive fight that he does not want to fight, and Hearns reach/power would be too much for Floyd imo. Whilst i think Mayweather is probably more versatile than Whitaker. Head to head Whitaker gives him nightmares imo. I think Whitaker WOULD beat him clearly, and Hearns would probably win clearly too.
Pryor/Leonard would be the most interesting though.

Natural Solutions for Dark Spots, Uneven Skin Tone, and Hyperpigmentation
Have you noticed some unevenness in your skin lately? Age spots, darkened areas, acne scars, pregnancy masks, and other types of skin discoloration can make you feel older than you are, and may encourage you to reach for harsh lightening products like hydroquinone, or even get you thinking about cosmetic surgery.
Such drastic measures aren't necessary, however, as Mother Nature has given us plenty of solutions that work with the skin, rather than against it.
Worried about dark spots? You don't have to be harsh with your skin.
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a general term encompassing all types of dark areas of skin. The condition occurs when the body produces too much of the skin pigment, melanin, in certain areas, causing those dark, blotchy patches.
Melanin is the pigment responsible for producing our skin and eye color, as well as the color of our hair. As the body ages, however, the skin is less able to properly distribute the pigment, increasing the risk of uneven skin tone.
The most commonly affected parts of the skin include the forehead, cheeks, upper lip, and chin. After the age of 30, hyperpigmentation can also show up as age spots on the hands and other areas of the body.
What Causes Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is often triggered by other factors. The most common one is the sun. Exposure to damaging UV rays, whether from the sun or tanning beds, can trigger the overproduction of melanin, causing dark spots and discoloration.
The second most common trigger is hormonal changes. Women who take birth control pills or who are pregnant may experience hyperpigmentation as the body reacts to the change in hormone levels. This produces a type of skin darkening called "melasma," which typically affects the cheeks, chin, and forehead.
Inflammation is the third most common trigger. When the skin becomes inflamed, due to acne, chemical peels, or other skin treatments or damage, the skin may react by producing too much melanin during the healing process.
Various medical conditions may also lead to hyperpigmentation. These may include Addison's disease, Cushing's disease, celiac disease, and other genetic and hormonal disorders. Smoking can also increase risk.
How is it Treated?
Treatment of hyperpigmentation typically starts with skin creams that help fade dark spots through exfoliation. These creams slough away the outer layer of skin, allowing new and lighter skin to show through underneath. Some of these creams include alpha hydroxy acids, as well as Retinol (a form of vitamin A). Many individuals with sensitive skin, however, may find these treatments too harsh.
Hydroquinone is a chemical skin lightener that is approved to fade dark areas by decreasing the production of the skin's pigment cells. This ingredient is often found in lightening creams, and does work to fade dark spots over time, but can increase the risk of dermatitis and decreased skin elasticity, which can accelerate the look of aging. Animal studies have also found some evidence that hydroquinone may damage skin, so the FDA has restricted non-prescription concentrations to only 2 percent.
Using any of these products requires strict adherance to sun protection. Exposure to UV rays while using acids to exfoliate or hydroquinone to lighten will result in even more darkened areas and perhaps scarring.
A Better, Gentler Way
I believe that skin responds best when we treat it well. If we're too harsh with acids or disrupt its natural processes with chemicals like hydroquinone, we're likely to see it reacting in ways that don't make us happy! Skin may be lighter, but it may also be thinner, duller, and less able to hold its shape.
Regular treatment with ingredients that work with the skin, on the other hand, are more likely to help lighten dark spots and help skin to become as healthy as it can be. For those struggling with hyperpigmentation, I recommend my Anti-Aging Serum and Coconut Honey Mask.
Daily treatment with the Anti-Aging Serum boosts the production of collagen, helping skin to regain its youthful spring, and also naturally protects from damaging UV rays. Natural fatty acids from life everlasting flowers also help calm and reduce redness while helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots. The stimulating properties of rosemary help repair broken capillaries and fade skin discoloration.
Use the Coconut Honey Mask about two times a week. Honey contains gluconic acid, which is a mild alpha hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates to provide a brighter tone to skin.
Try this regimen for about 12 weeks and see if you don't notice a difference! Not only will your dark spots fade, but your skin will look more hydrated, firm, and vibrant overall.
Have you tried these products to lighten dark spots? Please share your experience.

On Tuesday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved the Democratic lawmaker with no opposition.
The five-term Massachusetts Democrat and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate is President Obama's choice to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who is stepping down after four years.
Kerry has served on the foreign relations panel for 28 years and led the committee for the past four.
The 69-year-old drew bipartisan praise for the extensive grasp of foreign relations issues he demonstrated during his confirmation hearing.

I'm showing ordinary, everyday people how to start Lucrative Online Businesses!!!!
National *New York Times* BEST Selling Tangible Book Debut: "The Heart of a CEO" - Get It NOW!!!!!
Most people think that "making money
online" is one of the most difficult things in the
world and yet the reality is that anyone can make some serious
money online. It really is easier than you think. What makes
it difficult is the attitude and the approach of most people.
Many have plunged in blindly and inevitably the have failed.
The internet is full of these failures and they are constantly
busy telling others that it cannot be done, just because
they themselves failed.
Actually one of the biggest hindrances
and obstacles to folks making money online is that
most of us want to do it overnight and without having to
learn anything first. This is a really strange mindset when
you think about it because doctors train for years before
they can be allowed to practice and commercial airline pilots
also train for years before they can be allowed to fly passengers.
So why should you expect to start an online
business today and start making money tomorrow? Is that
really realistic? Is it any wonder that so many people have
failed in their efforts to make quick money online? The
big secret here that should not even be a secret is that
anyone who takes a little time to learn the ropes and takes
their minds off making money for a short time only will
quickly find that they can earn much more than doctors and
airline pilots after just a few months (instead of years)

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- For two games, Jordan Hall watched. For two games, he played. For game five, he's a captain.
The Ohio State junior running back will serve as one of three game captains for Saturday's start to the Big Ten season against Michigan State. That comes after he sat out the first two games of the year as one of three Buckeyes suspended for violating NCAA rules by taking $200 at a February charity event outside Cleveland.
His status for such an important game gives some indication about how coach Luke Fickell may handle the eventual return of his four players -- Dan Herron, Mike Adams, DeVier Posey and Solomon Thomas -- who will Saturday serve the last of their five-game suspensions for more serious NCAA violations. Also serving as captains Saturday will be special teams regulars Nate Oliver, a fifth-year senior from St. Ed, and junior Nate Ebner, who has been a captain before.
"We understand we learn from our mistakes, but we're not going to throw guys away," Fickell said, speaking specifically of Hall's captaincy, though he could have been speaking generally about the last nine months at Ohio State. "That's kind of the reason we wanted to have the game captains the whole season, so we could make sure we could bring everybody to be part of this team no matter what their situation. They learn from it, grow from it, have the right attitude, they continue to get better.
"This team loves them. They'll always be able to be in a position they can get better. In some situations like this, hey, we're excited to have him. The past is the past and we learned from it."
For the Buckeyes' wins over Akron and Toledo, Hall was a fan on the couch, watching from his apartment with his roommate, safety Corey Brown, who was also suspended.
"You actually don't know what it's like until you actually do it," Hall said of watching his teammates play without him. "So that's why I [said] I don't ever want to miss a game again."
In the loss to Miami and win over Colorado, Hall combined for 171 rushing yards on 32 carries while also returning a kickoff 90 yards against the Buffaloes.
"Jordan is a dynamic player," Oliver said. "I'm glad he's on my team."
Typically, there's a little more to serving as a captain than just making plays. Fickell must feel Hall has shown that.
"He's a big leader in the locker room. He does a great job. He does everything we've asked him to handle with class and dignity. He has not batted an eye at it with all the situations," Fickell said.
"It's definitely an honor," added Hall. "It will be one of my greatest memories at Ohio State, definitely."
For Herron, Adams and Posey, it bodes well for what they may be asked to do later in the season.
Injury update: Answering his regular injury questions about starting receiver Corey "Philly" Brown and starting defensive end Nathan Williams, Fickell didn't have much to offer Tuesday.
"Don't know and don't know," Fickell said, guessing that he'd know more by Wednesday after seeing a few practices.
Williams believes he won't be ready this week, however, and is hoping he's recovered enough from his arthroscopic knee after week two to play Oct. 8 at Nebraska. Brown sprained his ankle in each of the first two games and has missed the last two. He was limping on the sidelines Saturday during the Colorado win, but was moving around much better than he was the week before.

Co-creator of Found magazine, Jason Bitner, already had a well-trained eye for curiosities when he walked into B&J's American Cafe in LaPorte, Ind. Taped to the coffeemaker, the pie case, and all through the diner were vintage studio portraits — people young and old — from the late 1940s through the early '70s. The owner of the diner found 22,000 photo portraits left behind by the photographer tenant upstairs, and was selling them for 50 cents each.
"It just blew my mind," says Bitner, "it was the ultimate 'find' — this amazing archive of the Midwest. So I decided to stay for a couple of weeks. I went through all twenty two boxes and came up with the photos we published in the book."
The book, LaPorte, Indiana, collects about 200 of the portraits into a compelling gallery of real people, each face evoking a time and a place and a life story.
TheDEN talked with Jason Bitner about the book and the making of the documentary of the same name, which was screened on campus Thursday evening (Oct. 3).
What was the idea behind the book?
Initially I just thought I'd come across some really beautiful, charming photographs – the book was intended to share that feeling of discovery — you go into the diner and you find these photos and you start thinking, "that looks like my aunt or that looks like DeNiro." You start seeing things for yourself and imagining backstories to the characters. They're perfect time capsules, obviously, of the fashions and the haircuts and the eyeglasses. They also are so carefully composed that you look to find that little spark in someone's eyes – a little crack in the composure.
What was the response?
We did some book launch parties in town and started hearing stories about these people — a lot of them were still around and not hard to track down. The Chicago Tribune and NPR both did some stories about the photos, and we started to dig deeper and learn more about who these people were — and how the town used to be, how things have evolved in the 50 years since the images were taken.
Did anyone object to the photos being published?
I was a little concerned that we were publishing images without permission, but the diner put a copy of the book out on the counter, and townspeople would come in and discover themselves in the book. Thrilled, they'd sign their own photos, like a yearbook – sometimes putting their phone numbers or contact information. This copy of the book became our bible for creating the film. The characters themselves made it easy for us to track them down.
How did you team up with a filmmaker?
Found magazine had been on the public radio program "This American Life," and soon after, I met Joe Beshenkovsky, the director and editor of the televised version of that show. He loved the book and we kept in touch until both of us had some down time, and decided we should do it. We were the first feature film to have used Kickstarter to raise funds. Kickstarter is so smart, such a good way to use technology — both to raise money for a project and also to establish that you already have an audience before you even begin. We quickly raised money beyond our goal, and since it was in its early stages, Kickstarter used our project as one of their first success stories.
So you went back to LaPorte.
The town was so welcoming. By then we'd made some friends there — the community theater let us use their stage for interviews, and a hotel donated some rooms for as long as we wanted to stay. Some helped us track down people in town and in the neighboring communities. They also helped build a level of trust with the characters. We were out-of-towners and we were asking a lot of questions, so it was helpful to have community members vouch for us. Our intention wasn't to do an exposé. It was meant to be an earnest and — well, I'd say it was meant to be a sort of love letter to the Midwest. It's a very American story — people grow up in a hometown, they can't wait to leave home and see the world, and then when it's time to settle down and start a family, they often want to go to the place they know best.
You recently moved here to Granville.
I did! Just about a year and a half ago. I grew up in Chicago and my wife grew up in LA, and we were living in Brooklyn when our first daughter was born. My brother lives in Granville and started a propaganda machine about the quality of life here. My father's family lived in Granville in the 1960s, and my grandmother is buried in the cemetery here, but I'd never been to Granville until 2011. For the people I met making the movie, LaPorte was the place they returned to, where they came to settle. For me, Granville has that same kind of feel — there's a strong connection even though we didn't grow up here.

An area priest is one of three caught in an undercover sex trafficking sting.
The U.S. Attorney's office says James Patrick Grady was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly responded to an email advertising young girls.
United States Attorney Michael W. Reap says in one of the emails, Grady asked about the cost of a 16 year old girl depicted in an earlier digitally morphed photograph.
Grady's report indicated that he wanted a half hour and investigators say when he showed up at the agreed upon location, he met an undercover officer and asks to see the girls.
Authorities say he became suspicious and tried to leave but was arrested.
Grady admitted to sending the emails and told officers that he was a priest.
57 year old Grady has been charged with attempted sex trafficking of children by force, fraud or coercion
The Archdiocese will hold a news conference at 4, although the topic of that news conference has not been confirmed.
43 year old Matthew S. Nichol of St Charles County was indicted July 16th on two felony counts of attempted sex trafficking of children.
24 year old David P. Hawkey, of Florissant, was charged earlier this week with the same charge. If convicted, the men face ten years to life in prison.

The Centers for Disease Control released guidelines today that schools with confirmed cases of swine flu cases should close for at least 14 days.
Houston ISD just sent out a news release saying it will comply. So far, the only HISD school with a confirmed case is Lyons Elementary, and today was the first full day it was closed. The cases at Harvard Elementary and Hamilton Middle, which were closed on Thursday, are still probable. If those are confirmed, however, those schools also will remain closed for 14 days, unless the CDC guidelines change, said district spokeswoman Lisa Kinney.
Episcopal High School now won't open until May 14, and Yeager Elementary in Cy-Fair will reopen on May 18, not Monday as originally announced.
Here's a snippet from the CDC guidelines for K-12 districts:
If a school dismisses students or a childcare facility closes, schools and childcare facilities should dismiss students for a minimum of 14 days. Schools, in consultation with local and State public health officials, should evaluate daily the need for possible extension of the dismissal/closure based on local influenza surveillance information, and the occurrence of new infections and severity of illness in the community from this virus. This length of time is recommended because children are likely to be infectious for about 7 – 10 days after the onset of illness.
The college guidelines are less stringent.

Thanks Barnesc.
Being in HK, organic meats would be very expensive. Your best bet might be organic\free range eggs. If you can speak Cantonese or phonetic Cantonese its called "chao tei gai taan" (literally "run ground chicken eggs").
As others have mentioned, Australian and New Zealand meats should be considered very good options (the lamb I use in Vancouver, Canada is from NZ).
Space is a premium in HK. Primal workouts could be anything from a single kettlebell in your living space to pull ups\chin ups\bodyweight stuff in public parks and recreation spaces.
If you are interested in cycling touring HK, get in touch with Amuro Lee from this forum http://www.stridaforum.com/forum/vie...php?f=3&t=2894
They run an active folding bicycle cycling group, communicate in English and are comfortable with western culture.

Faculty Attitudes on Technology -- 2013
Thursday, September 12, 2013 1:00:00 PM CDT - 2:00:00 PM CDT
Inside Higher Ed's 2013 Survey of Faculty Attitudes on Technology -- conducted with Gallup -- aims to understand how college and university faculty members and campus leaders in educational technology perceive and pursue online learning and other emerging opportunities for delivering course content. Highlights of the survey findings include: • Few faculty believe that online courses can achieve student learning outcomes as well as in-person courses. • Whether an online program is offered by an accredited institution tops the list of factors that contribute to quality in online education according to faculty members. Technology administrators are far likelier to associate quality with academic credit. • Faculty members feel strongly that institutions should start MOOCs only with faculty approval, and that MOOCs should be evaluated by accrediting agencies. • Of faculty who have never taught an online course, 30 percent say the main reason they haven't is because they've never been asked. • Faculty members and technology officers alike agree that their institutions fail to reward teaching with technology in tenure and promotion decisions. On Thursday, September 12 at 2 p.m. Eastern, join Inside Higher Ed editors Scott Jaschik and Doug Lederman for a free webinar. Scott and Doug will lead a lively discussion sparked by the results of the survey and questions/comments from participants. Read up before you attend -- Inside Higher Ed's article about the survey and the complete survey results can be found at www.insidehighered.com/news/survey The Inside Higher Ed Survey of Faculty Attitudes on Technology was made possible in part by the generous financial support of Deltak, McGraw-Hill Higher Education, Pearson and Sonic Foundry. Your registration information will be shared with these companies.

Palestinians say Israeli extremists killed teen
JERUSALEM -- The Palestinians accused Israeli extremists of abducting and killing an Arab teenager and burning his body Wednesday, sparking hours of clashes in east Jerusalem and drawing charges that the youth was murdered to avenge the killings of three kidnapped Israeli teens.
Seeking to calm the explosive situation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged a swift inquiry into the "reprehensible murder" and called on people to respect the rule of law. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said it was clear extremist Jewish settlers were responsible and called on Israel to bring the killers to justice.
"The settlers have killed and burned a little boy. They are well-known," Abbas said, accusing Israel of tolerating settler violence toward Palestinians.
The death added to the already heightened tensions caused by the killings of the three Israeli teenagers, whose bodies were discovered Monday just over two weeks after they disappeared in the West Bank. Israel accused Hamas, the Islamic militant group that controls Gaza, of being behind the abductions, which led to the largest ground operation in the West Bank in nearly a decade, with Israel arresting hundreds of Hamas operatives as part of a broad manhunt.
The discovery of the bodies led to a national outpouring of grief, with tens of thousands of people attending a funeral Tuesday. As the burial took place, hundreds of young, right-wing Israelis marched through downtown Jerusalem screaming for revenge.
Hours later, relatives of Mohammed Abu Khdeir said the 17-year-old was forced into a car in a neighborhood of east Jerusalem that quickly sped off. A burned body believed to be his was found shortly afterward in a forest, though police were still awaiting a positive identification.

Here's another update:
Skin: Most acne has gone away and I haven't had any recent breakouts. My skin seems to be healing and is quite soft and no longer dry or flaky. I've also been telling myself that I will get over acne and it's going to clear itself with eating better. Believe what you want but I think this really helps! Also just smiling at oneself every morning makes a huge difference to confidence and inner voices about acne.
I shave 3 times a week and apply aloe vera gel 3-5 times a week after washing face with water. I exfoliate with either a muslin cloth or baking soda twice a week. I've just received some raw goat milk soap and might use that on my face since it is "made for blemished or acne-prone skin". I'm a little anxious about using anything on my skin, since it's quite clear now. It's pretty good though, the ingredients are: water, raw, olive oil, palm oil,coconut oil, thyme essential oil, tea tree and french clay. A lot off "good" oils but I've heard many bad things with coconut oil and acne. I also have another contains grapefruit seed extract, calendula and lemongrass.
Body: My bloating hasn't really gone away and I'm choosing to ignore it because if I pay too much attention to it, I'd never eat! My stomach is generally flat when waking, but after my first meal I get bloated and that just continues as I eat more. I have a BM within 2 hours of my first meal but it's nothing compared to how much I'm eating. I've been eating 2-3 NAKD bars a day and they really help me go at least once a day whereas as a few months ago I was very constipated. The form of the waste isn't anything I'd consider "healthy". (mostly pellets like and hardly and logs) Gross I know.
Eyes: My dark circles are the same and I'm not letting them bother me anymore. I still think it has something to do with digestion and excretion. (or lack of)
Food: Mostly raw fruit, raw milk, some dried fruit, sweet potatoes, lamb 1-2 times a week, same with chicken and salmon. Sometimes the milk bloats me if it is the first fluid I have in the morning and it even makes me tired which is strange, but not always. I had some pineapple coconut water which hydrates and energises me way more than milk so I've bought a load whilst it's cheap (but currently out of stock on Amazon). I'm not sure if I'm going to buy more goat milk but I like to have a variety of beverages and appreciate the taste and benifits of raw milk. I might give goat yogurt another try but not sure yet. Still eating goat cheese daily and plan to continue with at least the cheese. (which isn't raw or grass fed, unfortunately)
I plan on buying a juicer within the next month as my garden is now in full bloom! Lots of parsley, mint, rainbow chard, romaine, little gem and mizuma lettuce. Kale is getting there slowly and I will have around 15 plants that I can pick continuously.
Feet: My feet (toes) are constantly like blocks of ice. They have been like this for years (18 months before Paleo I'd guess) and they really bother me. It's around 18C here in England and I have a fan heater on my feet! Socks don't do anything so I don't bother wearing them most of the time. (or even underwear since I'm at home most of the time too - Guys, you have to go commando, it's so freeing and 'adjustments' throughout the day are no longer required!) :D
Exercise: I'd estimate 1 hour max per week. I've never been into exercise but I do intense movements to music for 5 minutes a day if the mood gets me. No weight lifting but I'm moving around a bit. I sweat a little as well which hasn't happened for years!
Supplements: Sublingual VitD 3000IU per day.
Sunlight: anything between 20 minutes to an hour per day, depending on the wether and if I'm gardening.
Libidio: Not as high when I made the change from VLC to 300g carbs but mastrubating a few times a week.
So there's the update. I'm sticking with the changes and never see myself going VLC ever again. I also doubt I'd eat meat more than once a day. Oh, I also had sweet potatoes, goat cheese and scrambled eggs yesterday. Very yummy but I was bloated from 2 eggs :(
Look forward to everyones thoughts :)

Welcome to VideoGamer.com's top platform games of All Time, a list of the best videogames, generated by editorial reviews and popularity on the site. Here's a look at our favourites...
Remember, this list is in descending order! VideoGamer.com is always open to hearing about your opinion. Would your list be different? If so let us know on the Forums or tweet us @VideoGamerCom.
Pac-Man World 3
There wouldn't be too many disappointed kids if they were sat down in front of this on a rainy afternoon.
Barnyard is just about good enough to entertain kids who must see more of the characters from the movie, but everyone else should stay well clear.
Tokobot Plus: Mysteries of the Karakuri
Tokobot Plus isn't a bad game, but a few niggling design issues get in the way of what could have been a much more entertaining platformer.
The Spongebob Squarepants Movie
There are not many people on this Earth who would presume this game to be some great opus. For what it is, though - a game aimed at children who like Spongebob - it's worthy of commendation.
Our Score6
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
Warrior Within loses out by virtue of going for greater sales, yet some of the original magic remains for die-hard fans
Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams
Tak 2 offers a solid and enjoyable traditional platforming adventure that is definitely worth taking a look at, particularly if you are kid who is fed up of under par licensed platform games
Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves
Even with some dubious quality control in various sections, Sly 3 is a great sequel that almost everyone will enjoy. Just make sure you avoid the dodgy 3D sections.
Sonic Mega Collection Plus
An essential retro package for fans and newcomers alike - Sonic the Hedgehog remains as enthralling today as he did back on his initial release
Bee Movie
Out of all the Pixar and Dreamworks games, Bee Movie Game is absolutely among one of the best, and would make for a brilliant Christmas present if you're looking to satisfy the kids.
Whether you own an Xbox, PlayStation 2 or PC, you'd be doing Tim Schafer and the whole team at Double Fine Productions a huge disservice if this wasn't part of your collection.
Our Score9

Forced Blood Test in Drunk Driving Case Gets Court Review
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to decide whether police must get a search warrant before forcing a drunken driving suspect to have blood drawn, accepting a case that will shape privacy rights on the road.
The justices today said they will hear Missouri's contention that the Constitution doesn't require police to take the time to get judicial approval given how quickly alcohol dissipates in the bloodstream. The Missouri Supreme Court disagreed, saying officers typically must seek a warrant.
That decision "actually requires police officers to stand by and allow the best, most probative evidence to be destroyed during a drunk-driving investigation," Missouri argued in its appeal. Lower courts are divided on the question.
The case may have widespread day-to-day implications. More than 1.4 million people are arrested each year in the U.S. for driving under the influence, according to FBI statistics. At least 27 states wouldn't be directly affected because they have laws barring nonconsensual blood draws in the absence of a warrant, according to court papers filed by Tyler G. McNeely, the defendant in the case.
McNeely was pulled over for speeding in 2010 by a state highway patrolman in southeast Missouri and refused to take a breath test after failing field sobriety tests. The officer then took McNeely to a nearby medical laboratory, where a technician drew blood over the suspect's objection.
McNeely's lawyers say the Supreme Court shouldn't categorically exempt drunken driving cases from the normal rule that police must get a warrant for intrusive bodily searches.
Losing Evidence
"While every drunk-driving investigation will involve the eventual dissipation of a suspect's blood alcohol content, not every case will involve a risk of losing evidence of intoxication before search," argued McNeely, who is represented by the American Civil Liberties Union.
The Supreme Court last ruled on the issue in 1966. In that decision, the court said the warrant requirement didn't apply in the case of a man whose blood was drawn in a hospital about two hours after he was involved in an automobile accident. The court said that case involved "special facts."
The high court in other rulings has said police don't need a warrant in situations of "exigent circumstances," as when evidence is about to be destroyed.
The justices will consider today's case and rule in the nine-month term that starts in October. The case is Missouri v. McNeely, 11-1425.

On Skipping A Grade: Back To School & A Whole Year LostKatherine Stone
Today was supposed to be the first day of fifth grade for my son.
Yet, just a few days ago, I found out his school wanted to move my sweet monkey boy Jackson to sixth grade. They were aware of his grades and his test scores, and felt he would be fully capable of moving to the sixth grade group and working with them. They felt he needed more of a challenge.
It was an interesting time for this to happen, having just read an op-ed by Madeline Levine in the New York Times entitled "Raising Successful Children." Levine argues that many parents are pushing their children too hard, and helping them too much, in hopes they'll be at the top of their class, perhaps attend an Ivy League university and be super-successful. The result? Depressed and miserable kids. Levine explains that, " … it is the inability to maintain parental boundaries that most damages child development. When we do things for our children out of our own needs rather than theirs, it forces them to circumvent the most critical task of childhood: to develop a robust sense of self."
As I read the piece in the plane on the way home from the BlogHer conference in New York City, I worried. Am I one of the parents to whom Levine is referring? Am I pushing Jackson too much to satisfy some subconscious need of my own for his success? The last thing I ever want is for him to be miserable and depressed.
Sitting in seat 20D, I started examining my motivations, and whether I push my kids too hard. I'm not a slave driver by any means. I don't cart my kids to and fro from a million different lessons and extracurricular activities. I prefer they each have one, if at all, and I want it to be something they enjoy. I do, however, have high expectations for them in school. Respect your teacher. Pay attention. Be as silly as you want at lunch and on the playground, but don't goof around in class. Be responsible. At the beginning of every single school year, starting in kindergarten and including this very morning, I've always told them, "Every year counts. How you handle yourself and how hard you work matters every single year in school. Do your best."
I also look for outside activities that will enrich my kids' learning. That's why this summer Jackson attended the Summer Institute for the Gifted at Emory University. It was a three-week long program from 8:00am to 6pm every day, which I admit is a lot for a ten-year-old kid who wants to sleep in, play Xbox, and hang out at the pool in the summer, gifted or not. Hell, it was a lot for me having to get up at 6:30am and drive four hours each weekday to take him and bring him home. He wanted to do it, he said, and I thought it was a great opportunity. But now I wonder, did he want to do it for me or for himself? Was it too much? Writes Levine, " … pushing your exhausted child to take one more advanced-placement course because it will ensure her spot as class valedictorian is not involved parenting but toxic overparenting aimed at meeting the parents' need for status or affirmation and not the child's needs."
Toxic overparenting. Shudder. Is that what I'm doing? God, I hope not.
Levine's article led me to have a talk with Jack when I got home from New York. I told him I wanted to make sure he understood he didn't have to attend a program like that in the summer ever again unless he really wanted to. I told him that, while I do care that he gets a college degree, I don't care from which institution. I told him that I love him no matter what. I looked into his eyes and told him his happiness counts.
Then, just a couple of days later, the school principal calls: "We think Jack should skip fifth grade."
Are you kidding me? We just talked about having fun. Not pushing so hard that it's stressful. His happiness matters. And now this? Suddenly, instead of just a ruler and some graph paper for his math supplies he needs a calculator and a protractor. Instead of just notebook paper, a laptop may be in order, yet my kid doesn't even know how to type yet. Do I say no? Do I give him the option?
I told the principal I agreed that Jackson could use the challenge, but I wasn't willing for him to be locked into this plan. He could try it out if he wanted, and if he liked it he could stay, and if he wanted to go back to being a fifth grader he could do that no questions asked. She agreed.
Then I talked to Jack. I told him he was being offered the opportunity to move to sixth grade, but we were just as comfortable with him being a fifth grader. I told him we didn't care, which is the truth. The idea of suddenly having my son home with me for one less year is not particularly appealing. In fact, I'm really sad about it.
I searched his face so carefully, looking for any flicker that he hated the idea. Instead, he started beaming. He loves school. He was excited. Nervous, but excited, and also glad he had the option to switch back if he doesn't like it.
Today, my fifth grader is in his first day of sixth grade, and I'm worried, Madeline Levine. I want to do right by my boy, and yet I'm never sure what the rightest right is.

I just finished reading the recent article on the severance pay for Chief Fike.
I have enjoyed both the Saturday and Tuesdays articles and found them informative and at times humorous on how the NCCFD Board of Directors and the District Attorney's office responded to this situation. So if somebody sees D.A. Newell and grabs him by the collar, would he then say, "No problem, this was just a de minimus action?"
The question I have for the board of directors is this:
In reading the articles and the timelines quoted, Chief Fike announced on or about March 22, as stated in The Union, that he was going to retire after a long career to spend more time with family.
Then the next thing we read is that the NCCFD Board of Directors placed him on administrative leave and apparently are going to give him a severance package on top of his retirement, when, if what is alleged is true, he should be terminated.
Severance, terminate or retire, do we know which one this is?
Webster's Dictionary: Severance pay is extra pay given to employees who are dismissed through no fault of their own, usually based on length of time employed.
