i need to get rid of perfect circle scratch on my grand theft auto game and dont come with "oh the tooth paste"" ohh the rent or borrow game from store or friend"(i dont know anybody that i know that ownes grand theft auto 4 nor rent from a store because i cant drive because im too young nor buy a new game because im broke and cant get allowence ) so give me useful answers that i can fix this scratch
This is the
yeah that type of scratch from a console that was jostled or moved when the 360 is on usually can't be fixed 100% cause they are usually deep. getting another copy of that game sadly may be your ONLY option. nobody on the forums or support will be able to help you, sorry.
XBOX 360, kicking other consoles backsides since 2005.
Looks like you need to go talk to your friend about buying you a new game.
Check out the NEW XBL Account Security FAQ
those are the only ones or take it to a store that sells used games and CD/DVD discs as most of them will have a machine that can buff and polish MOST scratches out.
Have you attempted to wipe the game w/ a soft cloth? Roughly how deep is the circle in the disk? I would actually try the toothpaste trick...
"Polish the CD. Though counterintuitive, polishing a disc can repair a scratched CD by removing some of the outer plastic coating and thus making existing scratches shallower. A number of common household products can be used to polish the CD, but toothpaste — especially baking soda toothpaste — and Brasso are probably the most tried and true. You can also use a fine-grit polishing compound that's used for cars or hard finishes.
1. Apply a small amount of toothpaste (must be paste, not gel) or Brasso to a soft, clean, lint-free (old undershirt) cloth: an eyeglass-cleaning cloth works well.
2. Gently rub the cloth on the scratch or scuff in a radial motion, (start at the center and rub out to the edge, like spokes on a wheel). Do this 10 or 12 times all around the CD. Rubbing in a circular motion can cause small scratches that throw off the laser tracking system in the player. Try to focus your efforts solely on the scratch or scratches you've identified (if possible).
3. Polish in this manner for a couple of minutes, reapplying Brasso or toothpaste to the cloth as necessary. Be careful not to apply much pressure, although you will still be able to feel the cloth gently scratching the CD as it polishes." Other then that I would have to suggest picking up another copy of GTA4 (they are fairly cheap now).
really i tried tooth paste and 1/3 got off but i need something better
Hey Gamer,
I'd suggest you go to a local BlockBuster or Video Store (if they still exist). These stores have professional disc cleaners which can hopefully fix the problem! They usually only charge a dollar or two as well!
alright im going to get my friend to take me to a video store or something like that and hopefully this works ( God help!!!!)
I thought you were broke. If the scratch you are referring to is the one done when you move the console when it is on and it circle scratches the disc then it is usually too deep to be fully removed. The usual recourse it to purchase another copy of the game. Also, be sure not to move the console when it is on and there is a disc inside it. If it happened when the unit was not moved, then there is an issue with the disc reader and you should contact support for a repair. If you want to confirm this then put a blank/music cd in the tray and try playing it. If a scratch appears call support, if not then you should be safe to use a game in it.
look this is what happened . i was playing the game with my friends and one of my friends kicked the xbox , he said "it was in his way" and by "broke" i mean mother wont give me allowence
probably your advice now will be beat the hell out of my friend
im going to get a new game now ..thanks for the advice
Well Only think is the toothpaste depending how deep or get a new game
Wedding, this thread is from spring '12 over a year ago please mind the post dates before bumping a thread that is over a year old thanks.

Bethany police: Burglars disguised as utility workers
Man distracted woman while others raided home, officers say
Published 11:44 AM CDT Jul 01, 2013
Bethany police said a man impersonated a utility worker to lead a woman out of her home Sunday afternoon. When she returned inside, police said she noticed money and jewelry missing from her bedroom.
The victim claims the only time during the day she left the home was when the utility worker lead her to the backyard and spoke with her for a long period of time.
Officers said that anytime someone comes to your door and advises that they are with a utility company to please ask to see their employee identification. Do not hesitate to call the utility company to confirm the employee is legitimate.

Ashley needs to go to the GPF. It will be an invaluable chance to show up other skaters and further establish herself as a contender.
Ashley needs to go to the GPF. It will be an invaluable chance to show up other skaters and further establish herself as a contender.
I agree she is a contender and not a second tier skater. Caro had two good seasons and bombs every Olympics. I love her but the jump content is not there. Maybe Mao is a podium lock, but I disagree Caro's programs this year make her look all that special. Ashley is not tall and thin. Who looks better than Alissa? No one, but she can only spin with consistency. I think slams at Ashley's body are unfair. There is clearly a favorite type-skinny minny minny. I think a certain lightness appears missing from Ashley, and maybe everyone can't be Sasha or Mao. I think she looks lovely.
Ashley unfortunately has a weaker LP artistically than last two years. If Chan can use same programs then why should others get automatic ding for same thing? At any rate, only YuNa is absent and Ashley is behind only Mao in the standings. If Ashley could improve her speed a tad and forever lose her double foot when nervous, she'd be close to the best. I waited for her to get her due and it happened. Also with Akiko. She is wonderful. Her last year's LP was amazing. At 28 she has outskated Mao but they overlook that in Japan.
I only want to see YuNa Mao back in those spots if they truly earn it, no questions asked. I'm already tired of 'the big three.' talk. They all make mistakes, only YuNa has the incredible jump consistency. It is still ice. And politics matter. I hope Julia earns the bronzr in Sochi lots of folks have awarded her already. For me, she is not remotely more than a gumby technician. For once, could the numbers be realistic for all?
No, def go, did I leave that out? She is consistent and I hope we see her on podium. I don't think they will give her gold over decent Mao but silver or bronze should be easy with her jump technique. The judges love Julia, and I agree she technically can come close to YuNa right now, but she is not in same league as an artist with top 5 women. But clean 3/3s are what wins in ladies. Only Chan has this amazing fall cushion. Ashley can win silver. If Mao bombs, which I don't wish, A clean Ashley could get gold. That wou;ld be great, and set her up for her 3rd National title. Grace may have great gifts, but until she gets consistent, Ashley is our girl.
Samantha is my great hope for number 3. Christina was not impressive at TEB. I liked her last season's program's better. She should be consistent with the year off. I'm disappointed now and want Ashley to challenge for gold at GP. Easily win Nationals, and if she cannot podium at Olympics, there is a great chance for World podium-I hope. I believe in her drive.
Ashley needs to go to the GPF. Hopefully she will skate very well and avoid injuring herself as she did last year. Even if Kostner doesn't make the final (and, imo, that's looking likely because I doubt Carolina will beat Lipnitskaia at CoR with her current jump layout and Julia's inflated PCS. And Kostner needs a win or a silver medal with an outrageously high point total to qualify), the GPF is a great opportunity for Ashley to put her 3/3 out there in international competition. Her programs were more polished overall at TEB, but she had costly mistakes on her jump elements in both the SP and FS. She could do a lot for her medal chances in Sochi if she manages to place top 2 in Fukuoka. If Mao wins and Ashley is a close second, Ashley will separate herself from some of the other contenders (Julia, Adelina, etc.). If Ashley manages to beat Asada and/or Kostner (if Carolina qualifies), it'll be even better for her reputation. Skating 2 clean and well presented programs with her 3F/3T combination is important for Ashley to do before Nationals/the Olympics. That won't happen if she stays home in CA.
I was very impressed with Ashley's skate at TEB. Generally I feel she skates kind of robotically but you could tell she was "in it to win it" and I really enjoyed her performance. The fact that she went out and did the triple/triple in the SP even when she really didn't need it was exemplar. I don't know who is going to win the US Nats, and I do like Gracie, but at this moment in time I'm hoping Ashley will come out strong and send a message. I think she can medal at the Olys because she's pretty consistent and she's definitely motivated.
Have said before - am NOT a fan of Kostner.
Ashley needs any of the big comps possible before Sochi. She's just sub 200 and a dark horse for a medal, she has to go to the olympics 100% prepared. she can only skip 4CC this season, IMO.
If she goes to GPF and lose to both Pogo and Lip, her rep would tank. When Sochi comes around, it would be 0% chance for Ashley to beat Lip at that point. I guarantee it.
You lose to Lip in Japan, you will lose to Lip in Sochi.
Ashley will probably finish 2nd or 3rd (all depends on how Mao will do) which is totally respectable. To beat the big guns you have to compete against them, and it'ss be a very bad move to meet Lip for the first time in sochi.
Like Mao, Wagner will only lose to Lip if she messes up, and controlling your own destiny is a good position to be in going into the GPF, rather than having to skate perfectly and hope others make errors which is what Julia/Pogorilaya will have to do.
She absolutely needs to go if she wants a shot at an Olympic medal. By competing at the GPF she will show she is up there with the 'big girls', and if she skates well it will set her up for the Olys. Plus her programs haven't really gelled and another competition will do her good.
It is up to Ashley how she skates. She's going to have a comfortable PCS cushion over Julia so she just has to execute her elements. If she makes too many errors, Julia can certainly top her.

Regardless of the form of government, G.S. 153A-76 gives the board of commissioners broad authority to organize county government:
The board of commissioners may create, change, abolish, and consolidate offices, positions, departments, boards, commissions, and agencies of the county government, may impose ex officio the duties of more than one office in a single officer, may change the composition and manner of selection of boards, commissions, and agencies, and may generally organize and reorganize county government in order to promote orderly and efficient administration of county affairs, subject to the following limitations:
1) The board may not abolish an office, position, department, board, commission, or agency established or required by law.
2) The board may not combine offices or confer certain duties on the same officer when this action is specifically forbidden by law.
3) The board may not discontinue or assign elsewhere a function or duty assigned by law to a particular office, position, department, board, commission, or agency.
4) The board may not change the composition or manner of selection of a local board of education, the board of health, the board of social services, the board of elections, or the board of alcoholic beverage control.
This seemingly broad grant of responsibility nonetheless leaves many county functions outside the commissioners' direct control:
1) The sheriff and the register of deeds are elected officers.
2) Board of education members are elected and appoint the superintendent.
3) The state of board of elections appoints the local board, which in turn appoints the director of elections.
4) The directors of health and social services are appointed by their respective board except in the state's two largest counties.
These exceptions notwithstanding, the commissioners still have fairly broad authority to organize the administrative apparatus to carry out the board's policies, including the options for appointing a county manager to oversee the administration of county services.
The Chair
G.S. 153A-39 requires that the board of commissioners select a chair from among its members at its first regular meeting in December, unless the chair is elected by the people or otherwise designated by law. The board also elects a vice-chair to serve in the absence of the chair, and when both are absent, the commissioners present may choose another member to act temporarily as chair. The statutory powers and duties conferred on the chair are few: G.S. 153A-39 designates the chair as the presiding officer and requires him or her to vote on measures before the board. The only other clearly stipulated duty of the chair is to use his or her authority under G.S. 143-318.17 to direct persons who disrupt a meeting to leave (the refusal to do so being a misdemeanor). Without any further enumeration of powers and no provision for the board of commissioners to confer additional powers and duties, the chair's ability to lead or guide the board is largely dependent on his or her personal and political skills and willingness to do so.
Unlike mayors of cities who are expressly prohibited from assuming the duties of the manager on the basis (G.S. 160A-151), chairs of county boards of commissioners are certainly able to do so by action of the board in accordance with G.S. 153A-81, as mentioned earlier.

She knew what it would take to be successful in cross country's postseason. She knew how fulfilling the experience was, both individually and as a team.
So Mahoney paced herself.
Much like Saugus as a whole, she treated the first half of the season as training.
She flashed her tremendous talent in early October at the McQuaid Invitational in Rochester, N.Y., where she won the individual varsity AAA race against top competition from across the country.
But she spent most of the first couple months making sure her times were where they needed to be, and nothing more.
Then, when the Foothill League finals rolled around, Mahoney said her true season was about to begin.
It was time to step up.
Her accomplishments from then on sound awfully familiar. Foothill League individual champion. CIF-Southern Section Division II individual champion.
They were honors she had achieved in 2008 and achieved again in 2009.
Here's another: The Signal's All-Santa Clarita Valley Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year.
For the second straight season, Mahoney earns our top individual award because of her collection of outstanding performances — many of which came at the best possible time.
She finished 13th overall at the Nike Cross Nationals in Portland, Ore., and Saugus finished fourth.
For the fourth straight season, Saugus won a CIF state championship, a CIF-Southern Section championship and a Foothill League championship.
The Centurions' depth has been a key component during their record run. But the program also needed someone to come along and be consistent at the top.
Mahoney's timing couldn't have been better.
This season, the only title she didn't successfully defend was her individual state championship.
Given the team's success, she didn't really care.
Mahoney is as selfless as she is talented, which has helped her become one of the greatest runners in Santa Clarita Valley history.
There may come a time when Mahoney is spoken of exclusively in that regard. It may already be here.
Either way, her career can't be judged in its totality yet.
The junior still has time left.

In this video, Andrew Tonner examines the profit potential for the new Samsung S4 smartphone. Using data from IHS, the S4 costs more to build than the Galaxy S3, courtesy of a larger, higher-resolution screen. But even so, 60% of the S4's components are made by Samsung, thus limiting the actual cost to the company. Right now, the big unknown is what Samsung will charge consumers for an S4 -- and that doesn't include the contract. Nothing is terribly clear at the moment, and Andrew encourages keeping a close watch.

Irish Times Poetry Now shortlist
Fiona McCann
The Irish Times Poetry Now shortlist has been announced, with some great voices competing for the award. Though not as familiar as I'd like to be with Ciaran Carson's For All We Know, Derek Mahon's Life On Earth or Pearse Hutchinson's At Least For A While, I can vouch for Colette Bryce's sensitive and subtle Self Portrait In The Dark – "he taps against the glass / all Marcel Marceau / in the wall that is there but not there, / a circumstance I know" – and Leontia Flynn's smart and conscious Drives – "I cannot find Rome. There is too much Rome in Rome." Judges Kit Fryatt, Sean O'Brien and Joseph Woods have their work cut out for them and some great reading ahead. May the best poet win.

I have now seen two different national commentators mention "Ray Allen" and "Thunder" in the same sentence. Think there is any chance of that happening? — Ben G.
What's less than zero? Sub zero? In theory, it sounds wonderful. Bringing in the greatest shooter of all time to play the wing and run off screens, helping the offense with ball movement and spacing. Having Allen give the Thunder added scoring punch while also relieving pressure off of Westbrook and Durant.
Like I said, it sounds pretty good. But what does OKC give Boston to make it happen? We all love to overvalue players, but the Celtics aren't giving up Ray Allen without quality compensation back. He's on an expiring deal, so in this case, that actually raises his value even more. Besides, that's a pretty bold move to make when you already have the best record in the game and seem pretty settled 1-through-10 already. But here's my completely, entirely 100 percently for fun trade bringing Allen to OKC:
Nazr Mohammed and Thabo Sefolosha plus a pick to Boston for Allen. If OKC acquires Allen, it means less need for Thabo this season, Cole Aldrich can and should fill the void of Mohammed and the Celtics get a premier wing defender and interior help, plus Mohammed's deal expires. Allen's $10 million comes off the books this summer and the Thunder have an extra shooter/scorer on the floor with KD and Westbrook. Plus a smallball lineup of Westbrook, Allen, Harden, Durant and Perk sounds pretty good, doesn't it?
But again, it's not happening. I think.
Do you think Westbrook could one day surpass KD? Or in your opinion will KD remain the superior player? — Matthew R.
Could he? Sure. Heck, you could maybe make the case now that he is. I've always felt Westbrook had a near untouchable ceiling. He's a mini LeBron. Big, strong, fast and if the jumper is falling, you can't defend him. Plus, I think we could all point out a lot of different areas Westbrook could and should improve.
But I don't think that's going to happen. KD is an otherworldly talent, but what makes him so special is his commitment to getting better. He's just 23, but you can see the areas he's come so far in already. And he's just going to keep rising.
But like KD said when asked a reporter at Golden State, what's it matter? They're both entirely awesome, both getting better and both make the Thunder a really good team. I know we like to define alpha roles, but with the way Westbrook and Durant are playing off each other now, I'm not sure it's an issue.
Simple question. How often do you watch First Take? If you watch it often, how much do you hate Skip Bayless and his constant Westbrook bashing? — Brandon C.
Truthfully, I can't say that I've watched it at all this season. I've seen Skip's tweets and I catch a video that's posted every now and then. Thing is, people are entitled to those type of opinions, no matter how wrong they may be. What Skip's setting himself up for is when Westbrook struggles in the postseason late in a game and OKC loses is he can yell, "SEE! I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN!" Unless the Thunder win a title this season, he's going to be "proven" right, even if he's already wrong. He's just playing the odds.
The nonsense about Westbrook shooting more than KD is such an arbitrary thing. Just going by plain shot attempts off a box score doesn't come close to telling the whole story. KD's got a higher free throw rate and in despite Westbrook having a higher overall usage rate, Durant's is higher in crunch-time. Now if it were a nightly thing of 26 shots to 16, then yeah, that would be a thing. But one or two more doesn't mean anything, especially when the Thunder are winning and possess one of the league's most deadly offenses.
You wouldn't hear anyone say anything about Dwyane Wade taking more shots than LeBron James, so why does Westbrook get punished for it? He's an equally important part to the Thunder's scoring machine as KD is. The Thunder need Westbrook's scoring. It's by design. To say that he must shoot less than KD really just shows off an elementary understanding of how basketball works.
Regarding people like Skip Bayless and others complaining that Westbrook takes too many shots. Does Scott Brooks want him taking that many shots or is it Westbrook not listening to the coaching staff and just looking for his own shot? If Westbrook shoots too much, why doesn't Scott Brooks put Harden at the 1 and Westbrook at the 2 on offense and let him dart in for offensive rebounds? I think just think Westbrook needs to not fall in love with his jumper and still attack the rim, and he will be fine. — Randy
The Thunder have absolutely no problem with how much Westbrook shoots. As long as they're good looks that aren't forced. Scott Brooks would even tell you that KD forces some shots sometimes. But that's basketball. Sometimes you put up a bad shot. For whatever reason, Westbrook just doesn't seem to receive the same forgiveness in that area.
So I was thinking about what Barkley has been saying about OKC needing a post game. When you look at largely post-centered offenses you think of a team that gets fouled a lot and shoots a high percentage from the field. Per HoopData, OKC ranks 2nd in True Shooting percentage, 2nd in FG% and 1st in Free Throw Rate. — Dustin T.
That's not a question, just a really smart comment.
If the Thunder amnesty Perk, can they keep Harden and Ibaka? And do you think Sam Presti will do that if it's the only way he can keep Ibaka? — Henry C.
It's an interesting though. If Perk were amnesty'd it would definitely give OKC a better chance of keeping both Harden and Ibaka. It's a numbers game and the more money you have, the better the chance is.
Would Presti do it? Don't know. I'm sure he's already thinking about these scenarios and that might be involved. But I think that implies the one thing no one wants to say: Clay Bennett might just be willing to pay the luxury tax. We all act like it's an impossibility and while it's certainly improbable, I would rule it out. If Bennett, a guy that spent some $50 million just bringing the team here for crapsakes, wants to keep his supercool young core together, he might just pony up the dollars to do so.
I'm a Perk apologist, but I wouldn't be opposed. I think Ibaka's long-term value outweighs Perk and if the decision seriously came down to choosing between Perk or Ibaka, I would choose Ibaka.
Is it just me, or does it seem like half of Westbrook's turnovers are due to Ibaka and Perkins having bricks for hands / not being ready for passes when they should be? Take last night's game: I think the first two plays were two turnovers due to passes that hit Perkins in the hands and he didn't catch them. Ibaka isn't much better at catching / being ready for passes. How often do you see them effectively grabbing a low pass in the paint or positioning for a dunk instead of rebound while Westbrook drives? Seems very rare despite multiple attempts per game. Plus, from Westbrook's frustration after many of those turnovers, it appears he thinks it's not all his fault either. I think this is an underrated part of what Thabo brought to the table too – it gave Westbrook two capable finishers at the rim to dump to on a drive instead of just Durant. Thoughts? — Paul L.
Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.
How did Kevin Durant get the nickname Katy? — Thomas A.
That's going to be the next Thunder text question on FS Oklahoma. You watch.

New York Times
March 10, 2005
In an effort to close a controversial Vietnam-era chapter of American history, a federal judge in Brooklyn today dismissed a damage suit filed on behalf of millions of Vietnamese that claimed American chemical companies committed war crimes by supplying the military with the defoliant Agent Orange.
The civil suit, filed last year, had sought what could have been billions of dollars in damages and the environmental cleanup of Vietnam.
It claimed that the defoliant, which contained the highly toxic substance dioxin, left a legacy of poison that caused birth defects, cancer and other health problems and amounted to a violation of international law.
But the judge, Jack B. Weinstein of the United States District Court, sided with the chemical companies and the Justice Department, which had argued that supplying the defoliant did not amount to a war crime.
"No treaty or agreement, express or implied, of the United States," Judge Weinstein wrote, "operated to make use of herbicides in Vietnam a violation of the laws of war or any other form of international law until at the earliest April of 1975."
The military stopped using Agent Orange in Vietnam in 1971. In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford adopted a policy renouncing the first use of herbicides in warfare. Also in 1975, the Senate ratified an international agreement dating from 1925, which outlawed the use of poisonous gases during war.
The suit claims that because of the dioxin in Agent Orange its use amounted to the use of poison during war.
William H. Goodman, a lawyer for an association of Vietnamese that filed the suit as a class action, said an appeal would be filed. He said the issue could eventually be decided by the United States Supreme Court.
"The judge missed the point," Mr. Goodman said. "He ruled as a matter of law that what these defendants manufactured was not a poison, whereas even the these manufacturers recognized that it was at the time."
The companies have long said that dioxin was an unwanted byproduct of the manufacture of Agent Orange but claimed that there was no conclusive link to the many serious health problems blamed on Agent Orange.
Over many decades, American veterans of the Vietnam War filed suits making health claims similar to those now being pressed by the Vietnamese. Judge Weinstein also handled those cases, ruling that it might be difficult for the veterans to prove the link between their health problems and Agent Orange.
Seven American chemical companies settled the veterans' cases for $180 million in 1984.
The same chemical companies, including Dow, Monsanto and Hercules, which made Agent Orange under orders from the Defense Department, were sued in the Vietnamese case.
Spokesmen for some of the companies applauded Judge Weinstein's decision today.
"We believe the defoliant saved lives by protecting allied forces from enemy ambush and did not create adverse health affects," said Scot Wheeler, a spokesman for the Dow Chemical Company.
Glynn Young, a spokesman for Monsanto, said Judge Weinstein's decision was a careful analysis of the claims. "The judge said they didn't make the case," Mr. Young said. "That's a very difficult message for a lot of people to understand because there's so much emotion wrapped up in cases like this one."
Justice Department lawyers filed a brief in the case in January calling the suit a threat to the president's power to wage war and an effort at a "breathtaking expansion" of the powers of federal courts.
"The implications of plaintiffs' claims are astounding," the brief said, "as they would (if accepted) open the courthouse doors of the American legal system for former enemy nationals and soldiers claiming to have been harmed by the United States Armed Forces" during war.
Constantine P. Kokkoris, another of the plaintiffs' lawyers, said in an interview last month that the Justice Department's argument was misplaced because the government had not been sued in the case. He said the lawsuit raised questions about the conduct of the corporations that were limited to their supplying what he called contaminated herbicide.

*NEW* Astronomy Ambassadors Workshop for Early-Career AAS Members: Resources and Techniques for Effective Outreach to Students and the Public
5-6 January 2013, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST
The newly established AAS Astronomy Ambassadors program is designed to support early-career AAS members with training in resources and techniques for effective outreach to students and/or the public. The first Astronomy Ambassadors workshop will be held on 5-6 January 2013 in conjunction with the 221st AAS meeting in Long Beach, California.
Workshop participants will learn to communicate effectively with public and school audiences; find outreach opportunities and establish ongoing partnerships with local schools, museums, parks, and/or community centers; reach audiences with personal stories, hands-on activities, and jargon-free language; identify strategies and techniques to improve their presentation skills; gain access to a menu of outreach resources that work in a variety of settings; and become part of an active community of astronomers who do outreach.
Participation in the program includes a few hours of pre-workshop online activities to help us get to know your needs; the two-day workshop, for which lunches and up to two nights' lodging will be provided; and certification as an AAS Astronomy Ambassador, once you have logged six successful outreach events.
The workshop includes presenters from the American Astronomical Society, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, and the Pacific Science Center.
The number of participants is limited, and the application requires consent from your department chair. We invite applications from advanced undergraduates (those doing research and committed to continuing in astronomy), graduate students, and postdocs and new faculty in their first two years after receipt of their PhD. We especially encourage applications from members of groups that are presently underrepresented in science. If interested, please complete the online application form by 24 October

Review decision date: July 2011
Review decision:
Following the recent review recommendation, an update of this guideline is currently in the process of being scheduled into the work programme. Details of any update will be available on the guidelines in development webpage.
The NICE guideline on Parkinson's disease covers:
- the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and checking the diagnosis regularly
- the way people with Parkinson's disease should receive information
- the medicines that can be used
- other ways of helping with symptoms
- how to care for people whose mental health is affected
- the care people with Parkinson's disease should receive at the end of their life
This guideline was previously called Parkinson's disease: diagnosis and management in primary and secondary care.
Responsibility for undertaking a review of this guidance at the designated review date has passed to the National Clinical Guidelines Centre for Acute and Chronic Conditions (NCGC-ACC). The National Collaborating Centre for Chronic Conditions is no longer active.
Your responsibility
The recommendations in this guideline represent the view of NICE, arrived at after careful consideration of the evidence available. When exercising their judgement, professionals are expected to take this guideline fully into account, alongside the individual needs, preferences and values of their patients or service users. The application of the recommendations in this guideline is not mandatory and the guideline does not override the responsibility of healthcare professionals to make decisions appropriate to the circumstances of the individual patient, in consultation with the patient and/or their carer or guardian.
Local commissioners and/or providers have a responsibility to enable the guideline to be applied when individual health professionals and their patients or service users wish to use it. They should do so in the context of local and national priorities for funding and developing services, and in light of their duties to have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, to advance equality of opportunity and to reduce health inequalities. Nothing in this guideline should be interpreted in a way that would be inconsistent with compliance with those duties.

Employees in the Niles Light Department try to restore power in the aftermath of a Sunday afternoon car crash on Warren Avenue. The crash, which happened about 2:30 p.m., involved only one vehicle, which struck a utility pole, shearing it in half.
According to the fire department, the female driver was able to get out of the vehicle before it caught fire. The driver was examined by paramedics and refused further treatment, according to the department.
The crash is under investigation. Additional details about it were not available Sunday.
Tribune Chronicle newspartner WYTV 33 reported the crash is what police think caused traffic backups on U.S. Route 422 in the area of the Eastwood Mall to North Road. Police from Warren, Howland and the Ohio State Highway Patrol helped direct traffic at the intersections affected by the power outage.
Also, most of the businesses in the area closed due to the outage.

Chocolate giant Hershey recently announced it's raising the price of its products by 8 percent.
Mars, the maker of M&M's and Snickers, followed and is increasing prices by about 7 percent. This is the first time in three years since Mars has raised its prices.
The World Cocoa Foundation said in a report on the global cocoa market the rate of increase in the production of cocoa "may slow in the coming years, as cocoa trees are sensitive to changing weather patterns."

"After trying for a while, I realized it was not only beautiful, but powerful. Like a mighty unicorn."
MARC J DEBIAK, Paper Tiger Marketing LLC
Before Xero, what did you use?
We used Quickbooks Online for many, many years.
What problems did you have with your old accounting system?
The number one problem was that it only ran on a PC. The second and more obvious problem is that it was more complicated than what we needed.
How did these problems affect your business?
Quickbooks required the services of a professional bookkeeper, even for the simple data entry. This cost us a lot in professional fees. We were also forced to keep a ghastly looking PC in the corner of our office. We put a dunce cap on top of the monitor and wrote "shame" on it.
What made you decide to use Xero? Did you try out any other solutions?
I tried a few services before choosing Xero. As a creative individual, the simple user interface and elegant graphics drew me to the program. After trying it for a while, I realized it was not only beautiful, but powerful. Like a mighty unicorn.
What was your experience when switching and getting started with Xero?
I would just call our Business Manager and brag about the software and how great it was. When he asked me what it was called, I would just mumble and then hang up the phone. I was feeling pretty good.
How has Xero improved your business?
The most obvious place we feel it is in our receivables. Xero has a very nice, visual way of showing you who owes you money. It's great to login in from time to time just to pick out a couple of the red names and call them up.
Visit Marc's website at www.wearepapertiger.com

"I love the fact Xero is customer-focused and that my suggestions are embraced and listened to..."

Every stop along the way in the playoffs, every new situation, every game this group of 76ers team had never faced before - all of these new experiences are things Doug Collins has cherished for his team as it has maneuvered in the current postseason. Regardless of the individual result, it's all good for the future, according to the coach, even if the present remains an unfinished work.
Now, after all that fresh exposure, the Sixers face a challenge they have seen before . . . a potential elimination game. It arrives in the 12th game of the postseason, later than most expected, but it arrives nonetheless, in the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night when the Boston Celtics look to close out an Eastern Conference semifinal series that has brought out the best and worst in both teams.

Howard Stern addressed rumors that he could replace Simon Cowell as "American Idol's" resident nasty judge on his radio show this week.
Last week the New York Post ran a story suggesting the shock jock is Fox's first choice. According to a source, "'Idol' bosses think he'd be even nastier than Simon." Um, of course he would. And why is that a good thing? How do they not see the distinction between Simon's "nasty" and Howard Stern's "nasty?" They aren't even remotely the same.
Simon is brutally honest and has the industry experience to back up his opinions. What does Howard Stern know about music and singing talent? Simon also has an adorable, likable quality and I think he really cares about the contestants. Howard Stern is just plain offensive.
Simon is by far my favorite judge and when he leaves, I probably won't watch "Idol." If Howard Stern replaces him, I definitely won't watch.

Informal consensus development is the oldest and most common approach, but guidelines produced in this manner are often of poor quality and lack adequate documentation of methods. Formal consensus development uses a systematic approach to assess expert opinion and to reach agreement on recommendations. Evidence-based guideline development links recommendations directly to scientific evidence of effectiveness; rules of evidence are emphasized over expert opinion in making recommendations. Explicit guideline development clarifies the rationale by specifying the potential benefits, harms, and costs of available interventions; estimating the possibility of the outcomes; and comparing the desirability of the outcomes based on patient preferences. Steps in the development of practice guidelines include introductory decisions (selection of topic and panel members, clarification of purpose); assessments of clinical appropriateness (review of scientific evidence and expert opinion); assessment of public policy issues (resource limitations, feasibility issues); and guideline document development and evaluation (drafting of document, peer review, and pretesting).

Former Texas coach Royal dies at age 88
AUSTIN, Texas -- A son of Depression-era Oklahoma, Darrell Royal came to Texas to take over a sleeping giant of a football program. Over 20 years, his folksy approach to sports and life, his inventive wishbone offense and a victory in the "Game of the Century" -- where a U.S. president declared his team national champion -- made him an icon of college football.
Royal, who won two national championships and turned the Longhorns into a national power, died early Wednesday at age 88 of complications from cardiovascular disease, school spokesman Bill Little said. Royal also suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
Royal didn't have a losing season in his 23 years as a head coach at Texas, Mississippi State and Washington. His Texas teams boasted a 167-47-5 record from 1957-1976, the best mark in the nation over that period.
"It was fun," Royal said in 2007. "All the days I was coaching at Texas, I knew this would be my last coaching job."

Vacation – the spring summer collection from Lennon/Courtney
The eponymous label from two of Ireland's top stylists-turned-designers welcomes the summer with some sweet seasonal shades
Summer lovin' seems to have had stylists-slash-designers Sonya Lennon and Brendan Courtney ablast, if Lennon/Courtney's latest collection, "Vacation", is anything to go by. Inspired by "sunshine, weekend getaways and country escapes", we're talking a core palette of muted tones in silk, cashmere and something called "stretch canvas" that I am mightily curious to investigate.
My personal hopes mainly focus on fit: I've loved previous Lennon/Courtney collections but haven't found that they loved my, um, lady parts quite as much – and I've found the arms on some of the shell tops particularly restrictive. But the duo promised me that future collections would be cut more generously, so watch this space!
In a good ol' Irish-abroad story, the label will launch in the UK this season, in Wolf & Badger in Notting Hill. In the Republic, you can shop Lennon/Courtney in Arnotts, Harvey Nichols, Kilkenny and more retailers nationwide. lennoncourtney.com

Apparently my earlier post about traveling to Europe confused at least one person. When we showed up at church tonight for a business meeting, she greeted us, "What are you doing here?!" Nope we're not in Europe yet, but soon.
The second city in our itinerary will be Geneva. You can check out the Desiring God website to see what Johnny will be doing there.
We went to Geneva once–for about 2 hours in 1972, during a layover between trains, traveling from Munich to Albertville, France. We dashed from the train station to catch a glimpse of the Reformation Wall.
One of the people most associated with both the Reformation and Geneva is John Calvin. So I've stashed in my carry-on a copy of Travel with John Calvin: Geneva's Minister Whose Thinking Changed the World. The publisher, Day One, has an impressive catalog of Travel with . . . guide books.
Also, let's celebrate my long-delayed return to Geneva with another of my mystery gifts, this time from Europe–maybe Geneva.
To be eligible, comment at this post with any or all of the following:
- Are you Swiss?
- Have you ever lived in or visited Geneva or elsewhere in Switzerland?
- What do you think of when you think of Geneva or of Switzerland?
- What would you want to do if you were visiting Geneva?
- Is there particular Swiss food one should not miss?
- What would you recommend as a gift to bring back?
Deadline is 11:59 pm cst, May 18.

I'm in the US. do we get scratchcards? If not, wheres the product code
I think he is talking about the VIP points that come in games. And 3 issues of a mag is far far far superior to anything we get in the UK...... I mean..... c'mon NoE, how many different wallpapers do I want for my PC?Originally Posted by tababywii
I'm in the US. do we get scratchcards? If not, wheres the product code
Brawl Friend Code 1976-9830-7448 If you want to brawl and you live in Florida I'll add you if you add me!
Sorry, Kingston, no scratchcards for us here in the states. The codes that we do get to unlock wallpapers and things like that are on a paper insert inside new games cases and I think they are only the Nintendo published games. The insert usually is an ad for Nintendo Power and on the back there are numbers and letters in a white box...that's the code you put in on nintendo.com. After you put three games in, you can get 3 free issues of Nintendo Power...pretty good, huh?Originally Posted by Kingston
You can also register your Wii console and your DS if you have one and all those games.
yup, no scratch cards here in the U.S its a shame...i really want a yoshi plush doll
Interesting discussion. For sure not all games come with the VIP points, you should be able to check on http://www.nintendo-europe.com/NOE/e...ames/index.jsp if the game is listed there then you should get 250 points per game (conversion to Wii points has not been agreed but most forums are expecting something useless like 5:1, which would mean that 250 VIP points will be worth 50 Wii points - hope we get better conversion than this but am preparing myself for the worst - which works out at about 35p - £7 for 1000 points).
Technically if staff are taking the scratch cards from the boxes they are stealing, just as if they took the instruction manual or disc, and my first point would be to enquire politely where the scratch card is and then if necessary talk to the manager, but for the sake of 35p ask yourself, "is it worth the effort"
I thought games came with a seal on them... the games I have bought do!
PM me and add me to ur address book...
You will not find the VIP codes in any game that is not produced by Nintendo. Only first party products have these, third party developers like Ubisoft and LucasArts don't include them because they aren't really anything to do with Nintendo.
I thought I'd mention in case this is causing some sort of confusion. For the Wii you'll find the scratchcards in the console, controllers, Wii Play, Mario Strikers Charged, Big Brain Academy, Excite Truck and whichever other games are produced by Nintendo.
I severely doubt a high street chain is stealing VIP codes. I mean, seriously, there are better things to steal, we can't even convert stars to Wii Points yet. Besides, if you're purchasing games that have had the shrink wrap opened, then you need to pay more attention to what you're buying.
yeah if your game doesn'y have the plastic shrink wrap stuff just refuse to accept it, If they have opened them all go to another shop.Originally Posted by Evolve82
gamestop opens new games and puts the box's out and keeps the game behind the counter as a security measure. on occasion i get a game still wrapped from there, when they keep them in the glass case (very rare though)Originally Posted by Evolve82

17th- 7:30 pm CDT * 18th- 3:00pm CDT
MISSION: Find back of net
Thankfully for the Griffins, this back-to-back away series against San Antonio will see out their 5 game road trip to start the season. They will then seek comfort in the confines of the Van Andel Arena for a whopping 6 straight games. Defenceman Jakub Kindl was scratched in the previous game, assuming he was injured. Not sure what his status is for these two games but hopefully he will be back in the line-up tonight. Goaltending has been the Griffins strong point in the first three games, with McCollum posting the impressive numbers of 1.01 GAA and 0.964 SV%. Tomas Tatar is apparently having Visa issues so his status is unknown.
Projected lines:
Ritola - Newbury - Williams
Lemieux - McGrath - Pare
Axelsson - Emmerton - Tardif
Crosty - Vigilante - Mursak
Kindl - Janik
Kolosov - Delmore
Pyett - Ehrhardt
Individual Leaders:
Goals: Axelsson, Delmore, McGrath, Janik, Williams (1)
Assists: Axelsson, Pare, Tardif, Ritola (1)
Points: Axelsson (2), 7 tied (1)
PIM: Newbury (20), Crosty (7)
Plus/Minus: Axelsson, Ehrhardt (+1)
* McCollum has been strong in his opening two games and Fraser might roll with the hot goalie again.
* The Griffins are 93.8% on the PK having killed 15 of 16 PP's.

My Architect
- Studio: New Yorker Films
- Release Date: Nov 12, 2003
- Summary: A tale of love and art, betrayal and forgiveness -- in which the illegitimate son of legendary architect Louis I. Kahn undertakes a five year, worldwide exploration to understand his long-dead father. (New Yorker Films)
- Director: Nathaniel Kahn
- Genre(s): Biography, Documentary
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 27 out of 29
Mixed: 2 out of 29
Negative: 0 out of 29
Obviously a profoundly personal film, but it's also a smartly conducted tour through the world of building and design that Kahn towered over during the most successful phases of his career.
Movies today rarely touch chords that are spiritual or deeply emotional, but Nathaniel Kahn's remarkable documentary My Architect: A Son's Journey does both.
An inspired homage to his father's work, and a bracing, bittersweet testament of filial love mixed with pain and compassion.
What makes it enthralling is the younger Kahn's openness to a range of emotional responses (his own and others') to his father's life above and below board, and his readiness to turn his own predicament into both entertainment and a provisional kind of puckish wisdom.
Tinged with sorrow, compassion, forgiveness and, ultimately, love. More than 25 years after his father's death, Nathaniel visits his father's architectural works and speaks to the people who knew him.
A fascinating look at a bizarre man and a brilliant talent. But a good deal of the movie is described by its subtitle -- "A Son's Journey'' -- and to the extent it is, the movie sags.
Score distribution:
Positive: 7 out of 7
Mixed: 0 out of 7
Negative: 0 out of 7

I hate to point out the obvious, but Americans would rather smokeasbestos than learn about history, much less Argentinean history. To make matters worse, Andrew Lloyd Webber came up with the grand idea of having this history lesson sung to us. Thanks. Maybe you could scribe the text into my forehead with a blowtorch while you're at it.
We meet little Eva during her father's death in the 1920s when she's traumatized by the fact that her father's side of the family won't let all the little bastards he spawned witness her funeral. The fact that her status bars her from her father's middle-class memorial turns Eva (Madonna) into a regular little Marxist who sleeps her way into the chambers of Argentine power in an apparent attempt to screw the middle class right back. She eventually meets and marries Juan Peron (Jonathan Pryce), who becomes President in 1946.
"Evita" is confusing because as Eva is climbing the social ladder, Argentine presidents are entering and exiting power faster than sailors in a whorehouse. To help the audience along, director Alan Parker uses a narrator, Che (Antonio Banderas), who, not unlike Mickey Mouse in Disneyland, tries to explain why all the people are so goofy. Rather than provide clarification, Banderas' whole Mickey Mouse singing routine makes you want to rip off his head and strangle the little midget inside of him operating the controls.
The singing hits its nadir when Peron lectures his cabinet members about the merits of his wife. Their response sounds like a chorus of the Oompah-Loompahs from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." The effect is about as powerful as the Argentine navy. It's so absurd that one suspects that Parker isn't celebrating the modern musical so much as eulogizing it -- or perhaps satirizing it. By film's end, it's hard to tell which.

U.S. Justice launches probe into Albuquerque police
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The U.S. Justice Department is launching an investigation of the Albuquerque Police Department after a string of officer-involved shootings and high-profile abuse cases that allege the use of excessive and deadly force, officials said Tuesday.
The announcement of a civil probe comes months after the police department in New Mexico's biggest city was the target of protests, lawsuits and demands for an agency overhaul from civil rights advocates. The city has seen 25 officer-involved shootings -- 17 fatal -- since 2010.
The Albuquerque Police Department has been plagued in recent months by a number of high-profile cases alleging excessive force by officers, including some cases caught on video.
One video showed officers giving each other celebratory "belly bumps" after beating a suspected car thief in a parking garage. Another clip showed an officer illegally entering an apartment and using a stun gun on one suspect, then punching another suspect after he had surrendered.
"Police officers are entrusted with extraordinary power, including the power to use deadly force, and police departments have a responsibility to ensure that officers exercise that power within the law," Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, said at a news conference in Albuquerque.
Perez said the investigation into Albuquerque police was a civil probe, not a criminal one, and will involve investigators looking at policies and training in the department concerning excessive force.
"We're looking at systems issues," said Perez. "How do the policies and practice on paper compare to what is happening on the field?"
He said the review has no timeline but that similar probes have taken around a year.

Thanks! I love it too! I got the fabric at Bolt Fabrics in Portland, Oregon. The pattern is called "Quilt Pirates." It is by Michael Miller and I have seen it in pink as well.
