Woodfox spent the majority of his 68 years alone. Now after two documentaries made about him and two trials, he was released and has the inauspicious title of longest serving prisoner in solitary confinement in U.S. history.
The order for solitary confinement came after he was suspected of murdering a prison guard in 1972 during a riot and although he was convicted twice, both convictions were overturned. The same Judge that granted him freedom ruled that he could not be tried a third time. Because he has been found not guilty of the murder and has served his time for the original crime, he is free to go.
Woodfox was originally convicted of armed robbery. While in prison he, along with Herman Wallace and Robert King, organized a chapter of the Black Panthers to stand up against poor prison conditions. Woodfox was accused of killing a prison guard at Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola, and had two trials which both found him guilty and were both subsequently reversed. Wallace was also placed in solitary and both he and Woodfox claimed that the treatment was meant to punish them for their political activities within prison.
Ever since then, Woodfox has been held alone in a 9-by-6 foot cell. Solitary confinement is an extreme treatment and has been discussed as being a form of psychological torture, sometimes leading to psychosis. It's a wonder that Woodfox survived that type of isolation, but now he will finally leave prison.
Louisiana Attorney General James Caldwell has vowed to appeal the federal judge's order.
"With today's order, the court would see fit to set free a twice-convicted murderer," said, a spokesman for Caldwell according to the Associated Press.
As of this writing the judge has granted a stay and Woodfox will be released Friday.

When you marry, you enter a relationship contract with your spouse that entitles you as a couple to certain legal rights and responsibilities. Family lawyers specializing in marriage can write prenuptial agreements for a couple before marriage. A prenuptial agreement can be especially important if you have financial interests you've accrued earlier in life and wish to clarify how they will or won't be shared with your new spouse. A written prenuptial agreement sets out the financial expectations of your marriage and anticipates what will happen to your assets should you divorce. The process for creating an airtight prenuptial agreement can be complicated, and a lawyer with a marriage and prenuptial practice can make sure the agreement is properly written.

Doctor insights on:
Fatigue After Subtotal Colectomy
If subtotal colectomy with creation of Brooke Ileostomy placement has been performed, would the rectal stump still be present or is it removed?
It is often: preserved if a REHOOK-UP is the plan! Speak with your surgeon..this should not be an unanswered question!! Hope this helps! Dr Z ...Read more
Colectomy (Definition)
It can mean removal of part or complete colon with ...Read more
If someone has had subtotal colectomy w/Ileostomy placement, can a partial colectomy be performed later on down the road? And what's the difference?
Big difference : A subtotal colectomy is removing almost all the colon; usually just a couple of inches are left near the rectum. A partial colectomy is not done AFTER a subtotal colectomy because there is basically no colon left. A partial colectomy implies that only a segment of colon is removed, like the right or left, and a good amount of colon is left. ...Read more
Can an Ileoproctostomy be performed after a subtotal colectomy with Ileostomy placement has already been done?
Yes: After removal of all colon to the peritoneal reflection or just below, there is a stump of distal bowel that remains. In many cases the surgeon can anastomosis proximal bowel to the anal stump at the levators . (the muscles of the rectal sphincter). If an exiting ileostomy is present, a pouch can be formed and anastomosed to the region just above rectum. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
What parts would a patient need to have in order to be a candidate for Ileostomy Reversal after having had subtotal colectomy w/Ileostomy placement?
Rectum: As long as at least some of the rectum is there. the possibility for ileostomy reversal exists. Ask you surgeon about your specific case. If your not satisfied with the answer, consider another opinion from a board certified colorectal surgeon. Hope this helps! ...Read more

If a patient had subtotal colectomy w/Ileostomy placement resulting in short bowel syndrome for over 13yrs, could they have their Ileostomy reversed?
It depends : This is a difficult question to answer without more data. Assuming they had some sort of small bowel resection and truly has "short gut," then reconnecting to a rectal stump will likely not improve the condition, as the rectum does not provide adequate nutritional absorption (mainly just water resorption). This needs to be discussed with a general surgeon along with radiographic evaluation. ...Read more
What would be the reason for having a patient who's had subtotal colectomy with Ileostomy placement undergo a Fluroscopic Single Contrast Enema test?
Many reasons: If it was subtotal colectomy with anasthomosis to rectum and protective iliostomy then most likley it's to check the anasthomosis prior to iliostomy closure ...Read more
What would be the approx life span for someone that has intestinal malabsorption due to subtotal colectomy, Ileostomy placement, short bowel syndrome?
Maybe long: The colectomy and ileostomy will not typically shorten life expectancy. Short bowel syndrome may shorten life span, but it depends on severity. There are a few centers in the US that perform bowel lengthening procedures and small bowel transplant. Ask you surgeon about the severity of the short bowel, and think about support groups for ileostomy help. Hope this helps! ...Read more

Thunderbird Problems
I have just installed the latest version of Thunderbird on my Win 8 Pro partition because of the problems with Windows Live Mail referred to in my earlier post (Installing Windows Live Mail On A Dual Boot System (Win 7 & Win 8)).
If I download messages in Thunderbird will I be able to download the same messages in Windows Live Mail on my Win 7 Pro partition?
Also, I downloaded the Import/Export Tools for Thunderbird but how do I install this?
Advice would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,

The Stereosonic Festival tour will be back this November, with promoters Hardware and Onelove taking it to the five major cities for the very first time, and ITM now has the full details on who will be playing on the lineup across the country. Check out the full details below!
What stands out most about this year's Stereosonic lineup is the 'now' factor. While it's toplined by Deadmau5, a favourite with Australian audiences who's arguably the most successful DJ/producer working in dance music today, alongside rock-solid names in house like Axwell, Fedde Le Grand and John Dahlback, the lineup is just as much defined by acts like Bloody Beetroots, The Crookers and Surkin who represent the new wave of electronica dominating the clubs in 2009.
Joined by a posse of underground acts that includes Miss Kittin & The Hacker, the DFA label's Tim Sweeney, Umek and more, it's a selection of artists that keeps the focus firmly on the latest and greatest in global club music.

There is no such thing as a fixed "evaporation" point for water. Evaporation can occur at any temperature, even below water's freezing point.
The rate of evaporation is influenced by temperature, air pressure, humidity and other factors.
An increase in:
- temperature = more evaporation
- humidity = less evaporation
- pressure = less evaporation
just a foot note to this very fine answer Is Molecular Nitrogen is a better heat transfer agent than the molecular patterens of the water molecule When Energy is applied to the molecular patteren sheets that move over each other fractioning then If from underneth the surface energy will transfer a dissociation through the mass to the surface sill fractioning the surface sheets allowing molecular nitrogen to move in transfering more of the energy to the water molecules patterens moving then off the surface of the water mass a same thing happens when the sun transfers energy to the surface

MSNBC Meet the Press - Transcript
MR. TIM RUSSERT: Our issues this Sunday: What should we do about Iraq?What should we do about Iran? And how has the port controversy affected the Bush presidency. With us: Two men who would like to be the next president of the United States. For the Republicans, Senator George Allen of Virginia. For the Democrats, Senator Joe Biden of Delaware. Allen and Biden square off.
Then, a new book, "Cobra II," details the inside story of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Here in their first television interview are the authors, chief military correspondent for The New York Times, Michael Gordon, and retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Bernard Trainor.
But first, joining us now, two United States senators: Republican George Allen of Virginia, Democrat Joe Biden of Delaware.
Welcome, both.
SEN. JOE BIDEN, (D-Del.): Good to be with you.
SEN. GEORGE ALLEN, (R-Va.): Good to be here.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Allen, how goes things in Iraq?
SEN. ALLEN: It's going tough. Some progress, but obviously when they use this burning-of-the-Reichstag tactic of hitting that mosque in Samarra and trying to create this religious violence back and forth, that was, that was a setback. But things seem to be calming down.
There's beenthere was a lot of progress in the last year, politically, which I think's very important, where the people have a consent in who's governing them. They passedthey ratified by referendum their constitution. Butbut it's been set back because they have such a difficult way of trying to form a government there, where you need a two-thirds vote, which is to make sure that Kurds, Shiites, Sunnis and all are involved and there's a consensus.
Story continues below ? advertisement
I think it's very important that those who are elected in these recent elections in February get togetherand they are being delayed nowbut nonetheless, get together and form a unity government. That is absolutely essential, I think, to keep moving forward. It's farinsofar as training troops and police forces and so forth, progress is being made there. But politically, action needs to be taken. They need to come together, and then I think there'll be a greater confidence on the part of the people of Iraq.
MR. RUSSERT: When General Pace, who was here last week, says things are going very, very well, is that a bit overly optimistic?
SEN. ALLEN: I would say things are moving forward, it'sbut it's very, very difficult.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Biden, you voted for the war. Senator Edwards was on this program last week, and he said he was wrong in voting for that war. Were you wrong?
SEN. BIDEN: I wasthe mistake I made was that I never imagined they'd be this incompetent in the pursuit of the war. Ion your program not almost a year ago I said that, Tim. It has stunned me, the incompetence, in the way in which they pursued the war, what they're doing now.
And I think, by the way, General Pace is very, very wrong in his assessment. I think we're in, we're at a point where in the next six to eight weeks, we don't get something moving in terms of a governmentand that's just the first step, by the way. The idea that once a government is formed here that somehow things are going to begin to roll is, is really another misrepresentation.
MR. RUSSERT: But finish that statement. If they don't get another government in the next six to eight weeks, what happens?
SEN. BIDEN: I think what happens is you'rewe have to decide how we're going to deal with, it's going to be a different circumstance. It'll be closer to a civil war. We're going to have to have a different function for our troops. You're going to have to have a plan B. You're going to have to figure out how to contain rather than how to, how to build. And that's a very much tougher circumstance to be in.
MR. RUSSERT: Should we get out?
SEN. BIDEN: No. No, I think we're going to have to get out. Look, this administration is already on the glide path to get out. We're already drawing down troops. They're going to draw down troops, as I said on your program a while ago, they're going to get down to 100,000 before the end of this year. They're going to be down to somewhere around 30,000 next year. There's not a whole lot of difference between the Murtha plan, what these guys are talking about, in terms of timing, that's the difference.
But, look, we, we have vital interests that are there. Weit's bad enough it's a civil war. It'll be a lot worse if it's a regional war. So, and I don't see, look, if the president, instead of deciding to make a series of speeches here at home, should be on a plane. He should get on a plane and be dealing with world leaders to try to generate an international consensus to put international pressure on the parties to make the concessions that are needed. I can't imagine if this were Reagan or Kennedy or FDR, they wouldn't be on a plane. We don't have to convince the Americans, but you've got to convince these folks to get together. And it's very, very, very, very difficult. It will not be done just by our ambassador alone.
MR. RUSSERT: Knowing what you know now, that there were not significant levels of weapons of mass destruction, if the vote happened today, would you still vote yes?
SEN. BIDEN: No. Not knowing, knowing what I know how this administration used the power we gave them. Everybody kind of forgets, Tim, the issue was...
MR. RUSSERT: So you vote no?
SEN. BIDEN: I vote no. The issue was, though, whether or not the status quonot whether the status quo would remain, which we have inspectors. I mean, excuse me, we continue to contain Saddam. The question was, do we take those shackles off of Saddam, let him roll, or do we give the president the power to demonstrate to the world, we're united, to use pressure to bring other folks in to help us put pressure on him? And remember, from the time we gave him the power, we didn't go to war for another six months. So, it wasI, I think it was mishandled. I didn't ever think they would be as incompetent as they were. If I'd known that, I wouldn't have voted for it.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Allen, let me show you what the American people are thinking. "How are things going in Iraq?" Well, 36; badly, 62. "The war in Iraq, is it worth fighting?" Yes, say 42; 57 percent, a solid majority, say no. Can we continue the war in Iraq without the support of the American people?
SEN. ALLEN: It is vitally important to have the support of the American people. They're the owners of our government. And it is important for the people to get the information, and obviously, most of the news isthat gets coverage are, are incidents of car bombings, of blowing up mosques, of, of fractiousness and so forth, and not some of the more positive things that are actually occurring. And I think General Pace was trying to get to some of those positive aspects of it. I do think, and I do agree with Joe, that it's vitally important for the, the government, those who are elected, to form a government. Again, let's recognize how difficult that is. In this country, if we had to get two-thirds of the Congress to agree who our president would be, for example, we, we'd still be fussing through the 2000 election. And so there's...
MR. RUSSERT: But, Senator, it's been three years, it's been three years. If the Iraqis are not able to put together a unity government that in fact can secure the country, what do we do then?
SEN. ALLEN: Well, the point is is they have to; and, and in fact, their elections, again, were in February, here we are in March, they still haven't put it together. And there's all sorts of talk now that the Kurds might join up with the Sunnis and try to get the nonsectarian Shiites together. Regardless of how it's done, they do need to get a coalition government. Joe made a good point, and I think we should, and I think our administration is, trying to get other countries in the Middle East region to put pressure on those to settle this issue. Because I think, ultimately, the constitution that the people passed and ratified in Iraq does stand up a pretty free and just society where women have freedom of expression as well as men, where they do have religious freedom where rights are not enhanced nor diminished on account of religious beliefs.
The terrorists in Iraq, I don't see them winning the hearts and minds of the people of Iraq. Their main goal is to cause disruption, to, to wreak havoc, to cause factionalism and so forth. But I think that if you look, if you listen to those who are training, whether it's police or military forces who are attacked a great deal by these terrorists, there are many who are enlisting or, or applying for those jobs. So I think the people of Iraq are also turning against these terrorists as well.
But again, it is important that the Iraqis themselves work out their differences and, and put together this unity government.
SEN. BIDEN: We can't want peace in Iraq more than the Iraqis want it. We can't want it more than they want it, and if they don't step up to the ball we're going to be gone. Theno foreign policy can be sustained without the informed consent of the American people.
MR. RUSSERT: And what do you leave behind?
SEN. BIDEN: You leave behind chaos. You trade a dictator for chaos, open civil war, and the concern of a regional war. Worse off than we were when we had him sitting there. It's good he's gone, but what are you trading him for? What are we going to trade him for?
MR. RUSSERT: Is this a distinct possibility?
SEN. BIDEN: Absolutely, it's a distinct possibility. And you even have our generals on the ground saying it's a distinct possibility.
MR. RUSSERT: When...
SEN. BIDEN: And that's whysorry.
MR. RUSSERT: When is decision day? When do we have to look up and say, "They have not put a government in place. We have to get out"?
SEN. BIDEN: If they don't have a constitution in place by this summer that is viewed as a uniting document, where everybody signs on to it, it's game over. Now, how you pull them out, where you pull them to, whether you have them over the horizon, whether you have a containment policy that, that, that secures the region in a different way, that's a whole different question. But status quo, the way it is now, is over.
MR. RUSSERT: Do you agree with that, Senator? If they don't have a government in place by the summer, that's it, we're out?
SEN. ALLEN: You have to look at the facts and situation at the time. We're both in agreement, everyone recognizes, and I think the Iraqis themselves recognize, that the longer that they wait to actually form this unity government, the more that allows the terrorists to, to have that uncertainty in, insofar as authority in the country, and the people themselves of Iraq wondering, "Well, what's going to come of it?" So the sooner, obviously, the better. I don't want to have some, some deadline, "If you don't get it done by, by June 1, well, then we're pulling out, or it's, it's a failure."
The point of the matter is, is we need to pressure and try to get others in that region, as well as other countries outside of the region, to really tell them what the stakes are. And I think they recognize what the stakes are, but, but action needs to be taken. There's going to need to be concessions from various points. And then ultimately, this governmentthey can get a unity government, but there's going to need to be some credibility, particularly in the security forces, the secretary, so to speak, of the interior, to make sure that law enforcement and military actions are, are fair and just and not based upon any sort of religion or, or ethnic biases.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Biden, if they don't get a government together, and we do get out, and we leave chaos behind, is that not a foreign policy disaster for the U.S.?
SEN. BIDEN: It is an absolute foreign policy disaster. What I said was that we're going to have to have a different deployment of the troops. We're going to have to figure out a containment policy, Tim. You may find a debate begins to ensue: Do we help the Badr Brigade and the peshmerga deal with the Sunnis? Do we decide to cordon off the north? Do we decideit'll be a different policy. We're not going to just be able to walk away. It will be a disaster. Iwhen I got back from Iraq a little while ago, I went down to see the president, and I sat with the president, and he kept talking about terrorists. And I said, "Mr. President, if every single al-Qaeda personality, every single al-Qaeda operative or anyone like him tomorrow were blown away, you still have a war, Mr. President. This is well beyond terrorists."
There's an insurgency, Tim, a gigantic insurgency that has nothing to do with terrorists. It's a big deal. And there's no serious planwe put these military guys so far behind the eight ball, because we didn't go in with the 5,000 police trainers that I talked about on your show two and a half years ago and others did, because they said we didn't need it, because we said we had all the oil we needed when in fact the oil companies told us we needed $30 billion in. These guys are about two years behind the curve. The civilians have done a disservice, in my view, to the military on the ground. We said we needed more troops. Remember on your show, I called for more troops the year we went in? Then John McCain called for more troops. What were we told? "No, the folks on the ground don't want the troops." Now what's coming out, including Bremer? "Yeah, we needed more troops, we wanted more troops." This has been a debacle. This has been a debacle. The president, literally, this is a test of his leadership. He's got to unite the international community to bring every pressure possible on these guys or it's not going to get done.
MR. RUSSERT: Let me talk about another issue confronting us, and that's Iran. Vice President Cheney on Tuesday, gave a speech, and let me show you and share with our viewers exactly what he said:
(Videotape, March 7, 2006):
VICE PRES. DICK CHENEY: The Iranian regime needs to know that if it stays on its present course, the international community is prepared to impose meaningful consequences. ... We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
(End of videotape)
MR. RUSSERT: "Meaningful consequences."
Senator Allen, if the president decides that we are going to remove the Iranian nuclear threat militarily, must he, should he go to Congress for authorization before he does that?
SEN. ALLEN: I believe he should and I believe he would, if, if necessary.
One thinglet me just, on the, on the previous question: Yes, these are tough times in Iraq. Let's not get everyone so depressed, so demoralized about things. It is difficult. However, I think that we can hopefully prevail. Not us, but the Iraqi people, because I do believe that people, regardless of their ethnicity or religion, do want to have a better life for themselves and their children, and have, have a say in who their public servants are. And I, and I'm hopeful. We have to be realistic, but let's not get everyone so depressed that it's, it's definitely going to fail.
Now on Iran, on Iran, which is a very pressing, dangerous situation, fortunately we have the French and the Germans and the British all with us. We are working with the international community. The Russians are, are clearly the most important. They're the ones making money off this deal as far as nuclear capabilities forwhether it'swell supposedly, for electricity generation, which is, is relatively legitimate. The worry is weaponization of those nuclear capabilities. There's going to be a step-by-step-by-step approach to this. But we are dealing with a theocracy that is deadly serious when they said they want to take Israel off the map. They cannot be allowed to get nuclear weapons. It is dangerous to our, to our friend Israel, it's a danger to us, the United States, our allies, it is dangerous to other countries in the Middle East. We'll start a nuclearwe won't, but they will start, almost, a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, and...
MR. RUSSERT: But how do you stop them? If the Russians don't go along with sanctions, what do you do?
SEN. ALLEN: Well, of course you go through the sanctions, embargoes and so forth, and itto the extent you have sanctions, it can't just be the United States alone, it has to be other countries of the world as well. Internally, and this is, this is kind of a long shot, but internally, you would hope that the people of Iran, who are getting isolated by these mullahs, and some of these sanctions could have an impact, obviously, on their economy, which is going well because oil prices are up, but if, in the event that this has an impact on their own society there, you could have a change from within. That's, that's a long shot. Ultimately, ityou never want to take military action off the table, but you never want it to get that far. But if, if necessary, it is, it is an option. But it's not one that is desirable. What we're trying to do is...
MR. RUSSERT: But you agree with the vice president, they will not be allowed to build a nuclear weapon, period?
SEN. ALLEN: We can't allow them to have a nuclear weapon. It would be too dangerous for us, for our allies, and for the rest of the world.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Biden, would, should the president, would the president go to Congress for authorization if he wanted military action in Iran?
SEN. BIDEN: He has to do that. Look, I think there's two things here, Tim. I heard the vice president put a prefix in front of "stop them." He said the international community stops them. The fact of the matter is that the administration's gotten it right, in my view, finally, on Iran. They have joined with the international community so that we end up isolating Iran, not us being isolated like we were before, number one.
Number two, it disturbs me a little bit that the administration has not, not done a cold calculation on the issue of whether or not an oil embargo would hurt the Iraniansthe IraqisI mean, the Iranians more than would hurt the rest of the world. The truth is, the Iraqisthe Iranians cannot sustain an oil embargo. They import all their finished product. They import it all. We could break their back if we are able to organize the international community to stay in place. And this is a matter of time, Tim. If you're telling me they're about to have a nuclear weapon that they can haveput in the tip of a missile, they're going to do that in six months, that changes the dynamics of whether it's in 10 years. There's a big difference here. And we're not allowed to talk about that, that classified judgments that are had among the various capitals.
But there is time here, and it's critically important that we keep the world together to keep pressure on the Iranians, and if need be go to sanctions short of military sanctions. But obviously no president can take off the table the possible use of military force.
MR. RUSSERT: And our policy is simply stated: Iran will not get a nuclear weapon, period?
SEN. BIDEN: That is the policy stated by us, stated by the Europeans, stated by the Russians and stated by the Chinese right now. How that policy works out is a different deal. But that's the stated policy of all those countries right now.
MR. RUSSERT: Do you think ultimately they'll have a nuclear weapon?
SEN. BIDEN: I think ultimately we can stop them from having a nuclear weapon. I think we can stop them from having a nuclear weapon short of war.
SEN. ALLEN: And, by the way, once again I agree, I agree with Joe on this. Notthat's not once again. But on this, it is absolutely essential that we have the rest of the world with us on it, including Middle Eastern countries. Remember, in addition to their threats to Israel, Iran is a state sponsor of terror. They may not even use some of their missile capabilities if they had a nuclear weapon. They could give it to Hezbollah or Hamas or any one of these terrorist organizations.
This also is an occasion for us as Americans to recognize that we need to get greater energy independence in this country so we are not worrying about the whims of some Mullah in Iran 8,000 miles away. We need development of oil and natural gas in this country, more biofuels, the use of advanced nuclear and clean-coal technology, and some other battery-powered approaches, say for in solar photovoltaics and from nanotechnology. We need to unleash the minds of the people of this country so that we have American energy produced here at home, and a diversity of fuel so we're not so dependent on that one region that is so unstable and in some cases hostile to our country.
MR. RUSSERT: Let me turn to presidential politics. Senator Allen, you were in Tennessee yesterday talking to some Southern Republicans. There was a straw vote taken last night, and here are the results from the Southern Republican Leadership Conference: Bill Frist, his home state, 37 percent;
Mitt Romney, the governor of Massachusetts, 14 percent; George Allen, 10;
President Bush as a write-in, 10 percent. That was initiated by John McCain.
And McCain himself got 5 percent. What do you make of that result?
SEN. ALLEN: It's fine BillBill Frist is popular in Tennessee.
MR. RUSSERT: How about Mitt Romney?
SEN. ALLEN: That's fine. It's, it's a straw poll.
MR. RUSSERT: He's ahe's a Northeasterner and you're, you're a Southerner.
SEN. ALLEN: Well, it's OK...
SEN. BIDEN: Hang on, man, it doesn't matter. Don't worry about that. Don't worry about that number.
SEN. ALLEN: ...it's OK. I don't think it matters much at all. No, it was great. There were actuallyactually it wasn't just the South. There were folks from the Midwest there, too. And forsaw folks from Michigan and Iowa and so forth. At any rate, it was fun. The main thing of that is great hospitality there from folks in Tennessee, and there were a good number fromfrom Mississippi, and it was I think a good chance for us to all get rejuvenated. And thatthat's what most important. I had a great time at it and I think that for this having any meaning, it's kind of like a pick-up game.
MR. RUSSERT: A pick-up game?
SEN. ALLEN: Yeah. Since I'm...
MR. RUSSERT: Not even a scrimmage?
SEN. ALLEN: Interintrasquad scrimmages matter. That determines who starts. Pick-up games are just fun.
MR. RUSSERT: Let me turn to the travel each of you've undertaken. Here's Senator Allen recent travel in six months: New Hampshire, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, North Carolina, Tennessee, India, China, Pakistan and Taiwan.
Your colleague, Mary Landrieu from Louisiana, had this to say, "I don't think anyone can run for presidentDemocrat or Republicanuntil they've been in the shoes of [Gulf Coast residents], walked through their neighborhoods and visited their churches." Why haven't you been down to the Gulf region?
SEN. ALLEN: We've been trying to figure it out and get a time to go. In fact, we have set it up. I've talked to MarySenator Landrieu as well as David Vitter and I'm going to be there April 7. And initially...
MR. RUSSERT: So it is important.
SEN. ALLEN: I do think it's important.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Biden, you've been to Kansas, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Texas, California, New York, New Jersey, Italy, Iraq, Israel. Why not the Gulf region?
SEN. BIDEN: Two reasons. Iby the way, I'm set up over the recess to go down there as well. But two reasons: One, I was worried in the beginning that we look like we're all down there grandstanding. I was worried that, quite frankly, some of the folks down there I didn't know really what they were adding. And so the very beginning of that I deliberately didn't go down because I think it just, it just, itI, I didn't go down because I didn't feel comfortable.
MR. RUSSERT: But you are now going?
SEN. BIDEN: Yes.
MR. RUSSERT: Something else happened this week, Senator Allen, in South Dakota. And this is how The New York Times reported it: "Governor Michael Rounds, the Republican Governor of South Dakota, signed into law the nation's most sweeping state abortion ban. ... The law makes it a felony to perform any abortion except in a case of a pregnant woman's life being in jeopardy." No exceptions for rape, incest, health of the mother. Would you like to see that law, the law of the United States of America?
SEN. ALLEN: Well, first of all I respect and support the right of the people in the states to pass laws that reflect their values and their desires. For the country, I think each state ought to make those decisions. Personally, I think that there should be exceptions for rape and incest because I look at the person, there as a victim of a crime, and if they so choose they ought to have that option.
MR. RUSSERT: But you would outlaw all abortion except in cases of rape, incest...?
SEN. ALLEN: Oh, I don't think the federal government ought to be making such laws. I think the laws ought to be determined by the people in the states. If South Dakota wants a law like that, they can have that. If South Carolina wants a different law, that's up to South Carolina or Virginia or California.
MR. RUSSERT: And if a state said unlimited abortion on demand, you would abide by that?
SEN. ALLEN: Well, I don't agree with that approach.
MR. RUSSERT: But you said states should have the right...
SEN. ALLEN: But the, but theif a state did thatI can't imagine too many states or any state having one that allows abortion for all nine months for any reason or no reason at all. But that would be the right of the people of states. And for thosebut if a state like South Dakota wants a law like that, even though it's not exactly what I would think is appropriate, that does reflect the will of the people. This is a representative democracy and I think that's an appropriate approach.
MR. RUSSERT: That would mean that Roe v. Wade would have to be overturned, which you would support?
SEN. ALLEN: I think Roe v. Wade has been interpreted in such a way that it precludes the rights of the people to decide their laws. When I was governor, we passed the law on parental notification. I think parents ought to be involved if a girl who's 16, 17 years old...
MR. RUSSERT: So you say overturn Roe. You hope Roe is overturned.
SEN. ALLEN: Yeah, well, Roeif you need parental notification for ear piercing or a tattoo, they certainly ought to be involved with it. And so I think Roe vs. Wade has been interpreted in such a way as to restrict the will of people. Moreover, that decision was from the early 1970s and medical science has advanced a great deal. We know a lot more and of course, unborn children have an earlier stage of development.
MR. RUSSERT: So overturn it?
SEN. ALLEN: The point is, rather than arguing on a legal term, the point of the matter is, is the people in the states ought to be making these decisions. And if that's contrary to the dictates of Roe v. Wade, so be it, because the way that Roe v. Wade has been interpreted is taking away the rights of the people in the states to make these decisions.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Biden, what has the port controversy done to the Bush presidency?
SEN. BIDEN: It's sort of stripped away the curtain that there was any competence on, on homeland security.
I heard you on another show with Katie Couric, Tim, saying something in effect that the Congress hadn't done much, either. Back in 2001, we introduced legislation for port security and rail security; 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005. It's been repeatedly spurned by the administration. Virtually nothing's been done. Their priorities are backwards, Tim. Tim, if, in fact, they spent as much money on homeland security as they do one year on Star Wars, we could fund another 13,000 police locally, another 1,000 FBI agents. We could have every container at every port inspected with gamma rays as well as with radiation. We could, in fact, secure our railroads. These guys have priorities that are backwards and they're dangerously, dangerously incompetent. And this is going to be the next place you're going to see that incompetence show.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Allen, let me show you two polls from the Associated Press. The approval of George W. Bush, 37; disapproval 60. And should the Democrats or Republicans control Congress, people--47 percent now say Democrats; 36 percent say Republicans. You're running for reelection this year. How concerned are you about running in this particular climate, and are you proud to run as a Bush Republican?
SEN. ALLEN: I run as a commonsense Jeffersonian conservative, trusting free people and free enterprise...
MR. RUSSERT: Why not a Bush Republican?
SEN. ALLEN: Because I've always called myself a commonsense Jeffersonian conservative since the days I had Mr. Jefferson's seat in the House of Delegates. And the people of Virginia know me, they know my record as governor of the Commonwealth, and as well as a U.S. senator. I'm, Ilook, I support President Bush, I have in the past, I'm not running away from that. But I'm my own person with my own philosophy.
MR. RUSSERT: Of a hundred, a hundred United States senators, you ranked three in your support of the president. Ninety-six percent of the time, you supported George W. Bush. Are you concerned about being presented as a rubber stamp for the president?
SEN. ALLEN: Well, look at thewhatever those 96 percent are. Ifobviously I agreed with whatever that position was, 96 percent of the time. Look atmaybe it's on tax cuts. I do think we ought to cut taxes on people and small businesses and capital gains and dividends. I, I do very much believe that we do need to have, for example, exploration of oil on the north slope of Alaska, so we're less dependent on foreign sources of energy. So I don't know what those specific votes are, but regardless what the president's position is, I, I obviously feel that way and voted that way.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Biden, if the election were held today, 2006 midterm elections, what would happen?
SEN. BIDEN: I think the Democrats would clearly take back the House and I think we have a clear shot at the Senate.
MR. RUSSERT: In 2008, you're up for re-election. Will you run for re-election to the Senate, or run for president?
SEN. BIDEN: I'm going to try to get the nomination for president, and I think that'll be decided by the time the New Hampshire primary's over, as a practical matter, maybe South Carolina, and I'll make a decision then.
MR. RUSSERT: Then you could fall back and run for the Senate.
SEN. BIDEN: Yes, I could. I don't know what I'll do, but yes, I could. I mean look, as you know, in politics that's a lifetime. It's about two and a half years, and that's a lifetime. It's actually probably three lifetimes. And sobut my intention now is to see if I can garner enough support to get the Democratic nomination. If I can I stay in the race until the end of this. If it turns out that I can't raise the money or I can't get any support, then you know, then I make a decision about my Senate career.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Allen, you get re-elected, there's a good chance you'll seek the presidency?
SEN. ALLEN: I'll look at it after that. No matter what I'm doing, I'm going to keep advocating these ideas that I think are important, such as securing our freedom, making this country a land of opportunity for all. We need to get much more competitive for investment and jobs and education, particularly for science and engineering and getting more women, more Latinos, more African-Americans interested. And I also think it's important that we preserve the values of our country. So no matter where I am, I'm going to keep advocating those ideas because I think it's important to make sure this country's a better place for us to live and learn and work and raise our families.
MR. RUSSERT: Candidate A, Allen, Candidate B, Biden, thank you very much for joining us and sharing your views.
SEN. BIDEN: Thank you very much.
MR. RUSSERT: Coming next: the inside story of the invasion and occupation of Iraq, chronicled in a new book "Cobra II." What went right, what went wrong with Iraq? We'll ask the authors, Michael Gordon of The New York Times, and retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Bernard Trainor. The authors in their first television interview are right here, next, on MEET THE PRESS.

Hello, and welcome to another PvZ Math blog! Here, I'll be using math to try and work out the most powerful boosted plants! Not all plants are going to be shown here, but I'll try to include as many as possible.
Sun Producers
So the Sun Producers all have PF effects that produce extra sun. But which is best overall?
Sunflower: Produces 150 sun. If used as a boost, this means every Sunflower will instantly give you a profit of 100 sun, 125 if you dig it up with a 50% shovel refund immediately afterwards.
Twin Sunflower: Produces 250 sun. If used as a boost, this means every Twin will instantly give you a profit of 125 sun, or 185 if you dig it up with a 50% shovel refund. However, due to the recharge timer being around three times as long as a Sunflower, you can actually produce sun quicker with a regular Sunflower boost than with a Twin Sunflower boost.
Sun-shroom: Grows to full size, and produces 225 sun. Instant 200 sun profit, 210 if you dig it up with a 50% shovel refund. However, digging it up isn't worth it, as it now produces 75 sun at a time normally, instead of 25, then 50, then 75.
Sun Bean: Yes, I'm counting it as a sun producer, even though Sun Bombs doesn't for some reason. Sun Bean's Plant Food is difficult to compare due to the fact that the amount of sun produced is highly dependant on which zombie eats it. It can range from producing 60 sun or less (regular zombie, or badly damaged zombie) to around 750 sun (Robo-Cone, the strongest zombie that's affected), plus instant-killing a zombie. It's the best boost out of the sun producers if you can use it on zombies like Buckets, Knights and Robo-Cones consistently, but otherwise, it's not worth it.
So the victorious plant here is, depending on the situation, either Sun-shroom or Sun Bean!
The Peashooting plants have purely offensive PF effects, and so how effective the boosts are would depend largely on how many zombies are in the plant's range to attack.
Peashooter: For 100 sun, it causes 60 instant damage. That's about 1.6 sun per pea of damage.
Repeater: For 200 sun, it causes 120 instant damage. That's the same sun-per-damage, but the last pea may waste some damage if it hits a weak zombie. Then again, Repeater's boost can dish out damage quicker than Peashooter since it has the same recharge but more damage per boost, so if you're digging up and replacing it, it can be more effective.
Threepeater: For 300 sun, it causes up to 180 instant damage. However, the inaccuracy of most peas it fires means much damage is wasted and so it's usually an ineffective boost.
Split Pea: For 125 sun, it causes up to 180 instant damage, 60 forwards, 120 backwards. If planted in the middle of a crowd, this can be highly effective and have no wasted damage, aside from perhaps the large pea if it hits a weak zombie. As such, it can deals one damage for every 0.694 sun you spend, more than twice as effective as Peashooter. Unfortunately, utilizing it like this means it has no longevity and is just an instant-use plant really, and should be dug up immediately after the PF wears off.
Pea Pod: For 125 sun, it causes about 100 instant damage. That's 1.25 sun per pea of damage. Unfortunately, it can only hit up to five zombies, and so it's almost always got a large amount of wasted damage, and is practically useless against Chickens or other crowds.
Snow Pea: For 150 sun, it slows the whole row and causes 60 instant damage. That's not much better than Peashooter in all honesty.
Pea-nut: For 150 sun, it causes 60 instant damage and gains armour. Meh.
Overall, the best Peashooting Boost is Split Pea, if used correctly.
Whole Screen
Any plants that cause an effect to the whole entire screen, affecting basically every zombie everywhere.
Cabbage-pult: 10 damage to every zombie, for 100 sun. Better than Peashooter, but not particularly good.
Iceberg Lettuce: Freezes every zombie for ten seconds for ZERO sun. With Imitater, this boost can be used to infinitely stall any zombies that are affected, and without, it's still capable of massive stalling tactics.
Kernel-pult: Two damage and five-second stunning to every zombie for 100 sun. Ineffective compared to Cabbage-pult and Iceberg Lettuce.
Spring Bean: In Pirate Seas, it can likely insta-kill almost everything. Elsewhere, it requires a Blover to do that. And I'm talking about the boost alone, so overall, Spring Bean is only useful in Pirate Seas, and in certain levels, even then it isn't much good.
Melon-pult/Winter Melon: Both are about equal. Around 10 damage to every zombie onscreen, plus light splash meaning that grouped up zombies can take additional damage. Winter Melon's additional slowing likely isn't going to do much as most zombies will already be slowed.
Magnet-shroom: Debuffs all metal-users for 100 sun, and then causes massive amounts of damage to zombies in the row. Effective dependant on situation, only when many metal objects are available, and usually the more metal objects there are, the more zombies there are in the row, nullifying much of the power of its attack.
I'd say the winner of this is Iceberg Lettuce, by a long shot.
Single Lane
For assorted PF effects that only hit one lane, but usually hit the whole lane.
Spikeweed/Spikerock: Causes heavy damage to the lane, and pulls zombies towards it, all for only 100 sun (or 250 for Spikerock). Spikeweed boost is definitely better because if there's a damage difference, it's hardly noticable. Also instantly breaks rolling objects.
Coconut Cannon: 45 damage to everything in the lane and a 3x3 area around the end of the lane. However, this is for a high cost. And it used to do 90 damage, not 45. Y U NERF IT POPCAP?
Laser Bean: Jalapeno effect, but for 200 sun. 100 if you dig it up afterwards with the 50% refund, but even then the only advantage compared to Jalap (aside from being free) is recharge timer.
Citron: Highly situational. It's like a Laser Bean, but insta-killing machines or Gargs. The problem is that it will also be blocked by said zombies. For its cost, not an effective boost.
Fume-shroom: Around 75 damage, close to massive, and it pushes back everything in the row. For 125 sun. Laser Bean is useless compared to this.
Guacodile: Not even worth metioning really, as it does less damage than Fume-shroom, with no knockback, for the same cost. Useless boost.
Chomper: For 150 sun, kill three zombies and push back everything else. Not effective compared to Fume-shroom.
The best boost here is most definitely Fume-shroom, for high damage and stalling effects.
Well, I have left out a few, but I've covered most PF effects. Last thing though...
In other words, for two PvZ Math blogs in a row, Puff-shroom is the best.
P.S. Bowling Bulb was left out because although it has a good boost, it doesn't really fall into a specific category and the effectiveness is more situational than most other boosts.

text: Rerolling is the act of deleting a Character to "re-create" it as a new character. Usually done by members of Heroes' Ascent teams or GvG matches. The name has its origins in older roleplaying games, where players would actually roll dice when creating a new character. This act is less necessary now that the secondary profession is easier to change, and armor is easier to create. This term can also mean to change the build of one's character.

Wildrose calls for immediate mitigation infrastructure plan and new flood mapping for flooded communities
HIGH RIVER, AB (July 19, 2013): Today, the Wildrose Official Opposition is calling for the PC government to provide a new flood zone map and mitigation plan within the next 60 days for the communities of Calgary, High River, Canmore, Bragg Creek and Medicine Hat so flood victims can know where to rebuild their homes and businesses.
For many Alberta communities, there remains substantial confusion for homeowners and businesses about what properties are designated as being in floodways and floodplains due to out of date flood zone maps. Furthermore, current flood risk mapping does not account for new flood mitigation infrastructure projects, that if implemented, would significantly decrease the size of at risk areas, and therefore, the number of people and businesses forced to relocate. Recommendation 3 in the Wildrose 2013 Preliminary Flood Report calls for the government to enter into immediate consultation with municipalities and utilize independent third party engineers to draft a flood mitigation infrastructure plan, which includes determining what the new floodways and floodplains would be after new flood mitigation infrastructure is in place. While the new mitigation infrastructure is in the process of being built, Wildrose proposes providing home and business owners temporary flood insurance so they can immediately begin to rebuild. For those few homes and businesses where flood mitigation infrastructure cannot adequately protect property in future flooding events, government funds should be provided to rebuild somewhere safe. Wildrose Official Opposition Leader Danielle Smith said that after hearing the frustration and anger from High River residents in town halls last night, the government needs to immediately set a deadline so families and businesses can determine how to rebuild their lives. "We should have been working on redrawing flood zone maps including a flood mitigation infrastructure plan since flooding hit southern Alberta almost one month ago; we simply cannot delay any longer," Smith said. "The government needs to make this a priority so communities across the province can begin to rebuild and so we can minimize the relocation of residents and business impacted by Flood 2013." Wildrose Finance Critic Rob Anderson said that Albertans cannot rebuild properly or safely until they have access to updated flood zone maps based on a new flood mitigation infrastructure plan. "Albertans need to know what zones will be safe and which ones won't be safe, and so far the government has only managed to cause confusion for people across the province," Anderson said. "The clock is ticking; we've already lost 30 days since flooding hit Alberta communities; the government needs to get this done in the next 60 days max, so Albertans can begin rebuilding safely and responsibly."

I definitely feel like I've improved in that aspect of the game, going through my progressions and hitting the right guy and trying to give my team the opportunity to be successful each and every down.
Is that the main thing for you? Going through your progressions? What about that did you work on?
I feel like I did a pretty good job understanding the offense my freshman year but I know the offense now like the back of my hand. Each and every week with different styles of defense and knowing things pre-snap. Also, just playing the play. Reading my spots and hitting the right guy.
Is your dad going to be at the game this week?
I'm expecting him to be... we'll see what happens. Hopefully he will be. He came to the Clemson game so I'm sure my mom will take him up there for sure.
Can you talk about Jarvis Williams and the chemistry you guys have on the goal line?
Jarvis is an excellent receiver and he loves to have the ball in his hands. He has a knack for catching the ball. He knows how to get open and he works every day at it. Every time we run a play, a run play or a pass play, a hook route or an out route, he works hard at it.
Is there something particular with him around the goal line?
Nothing particular. I trust going to anybody down there but it's just I guess he gets open the quickest maybe. I don't know. I feel like if the offensive line gives me enough time we have a lot of people to go to.
Has it set in that there are only two weeks left in the season?
I know that. I have to look at each opportunity as the biggest opportunity of my life and get excited for it. But don't get too excited about it. You just have to prepare and understand the situation and try to get better each and every time I step on the practice field. And then on Saturday realize it's another opportunity to try and seize and excel in.
What about Virginia Tech's defense impresses you the most?
They fly around. They've always been the type to fly around and create turnovers and everything. You have to give them credit. They have a great coaching staff and a great defensive coordinator. They are intense. They fly around and make plays. I'm excited to go up there and play them.
How well do you know Tyrod Taylor?
I don't know him that well actually. I know he's from the Virginia Beach area and he's a great quarterback. I'm excited about playing the defense though. I can't stop Tyrod, I'm not out on the field playing defense, but I hear he's a great guy in general.
With the bowl game out of reach now, what do you guys use to motivate yourself?
It's another opportunity to play football. So many people in the world wish they could get out on the field and step into Blacksburg on that field and have an opportunity to play. Every time I get the ball in my hands I feel like the most blessed person in the world.

Nancy Singleton Hachisu's Kumquats Simmered in Sake
Anything simmered in sake sounds pretty good to me.
Make it cute little kumquats, and I'm sold.
"Kumquats Simmered in Sake" is from the new cookbook, "Preserving the Japanese Way" (Andrews McMeel) by Nancy Singleton Hachisu, of which I received a review copy.
Singleton Hachisu is a native Californian who moved to Japan after falling in love with a Japanese farmer. Ever since, she's dedicated herself to learning, documenting and teaching the ways of farm food life in Japan.
It's a cookbook that will leave you with newfound appreciation for the art of preserving — salting, pickling and fermenting the Japanese way. You'll learn how soy sauce is made, as well as her favored brands; and how to make your own miso, kimchee, tofu and soy milk.
There are inspired recipes such as "Cucumbers Soused in Soy," "Green Beans Cloaked in Miso," and "Sake Lees Ice Cream with Figs."
I snagged kumquats at my local Japanese market for this easy recipe, as well as the shiso leaves and sake that was needed. In fact, I bought so many kumquats that I ended up making a double-batch of this recipe.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens 24-Hour Showings at iPic All Weekend With Cocktails
Finn leaves the dark side in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Courtesy of Disney
Star Wars: The Force Awakens hasn't even opened, but already the film is destined for box office history.
Variety has reported that advance ticket sales have topped $100 million, with Disney distribution executive Dave Hollis issuing a statement, "The advance ticket sales for 'Star Wars: The Force' Awakens' are beyond what anyone could've anticipated, let alone for a December release, but with that said, theaters not only have millions of tickets available for this weekend, but they also in most cases have the ability to add shows and screens according to demand."
To meet that demand, the brand, spanking new iPic Theater in North Miami Beach has announced it will have continuous showings of the film for three days straight.
From Thursday, December 17, at 7 p.m. through Sunday night, the theater will be open 24 hours a day, showing the film in both 2D and 3D. You'll also be able to see the movie in style in the theater's plush seats. Premium seats for Star Wars: The Force Awakens are $16 for non-members, $14 for members. Premium Plus seats that include a reclining feature, pillow and blanket, free popcorn, and waiter service are an additional $16 for non-members and $12 for members.
But wait — here's the best news of all!
The City of North Miami Beach has issued a special event permit to the theater, allowing it to serve alcohol through the weekend. That means that you can sip all the beer, wine, or nitro-infused mojitos you like while watching Rey kick some stormtrooper butt! This special permit is only available at the North Miami Beach location. The Boca Raton iPic will be showing the film 24 hours, but liquor sales will shut down at 2 a.m.

The theater's Tuck Room full-service restaurant will also stay open 24 hours throughout the weekend so if you want to have a cocktail, see the 2 a.m. showing, then grab an early breakfast at 5 a.m. you can do so.
Of course, a movie of this magnitude deserves its own drink. iPic's advance mixologist, Adam Seger, has created the Galactic Blue Moscow Mule for the occasion. The drink starts out as blue as the sky over the Tatooine desert then turns magenta when you squeeze your limes into it! This magical elixir is available exclusively at the
Mos Eisley cantina iPic Bar (you can also have it delivered to your premium plus seat). The cocktail is $11 and a spirit-free version is available for $6.
For a complete listing of movie times and to purchase tickets in advance visit ipictheaters.com. Hurry, because all showings — including the ones in the wee hours of the morning — are expected to sell out completely.

Eight-time world boxing champions, Manny Pacquiao, has stirred controversy after he described gay couples as 'worse than animals.' The 37-year-old will retire from boxing after one last fight this year and go into politics full time in his native Phillipines. "It's common sense. Do you see animals mating with the same sex? Animals are better because they can distinguish male from female," Pacquiao told local broadcaster TV5. "If men mate with men and women mate with women they are worse than animals." The self-confessed born again Christian, later took to Instagram, to apologize for causing any offence, but still stuck to his opinions on homosexuality. He wrote: "I'm sorry for hurting people by comparing homosexuals to animals. Please forgive me for those I've hurt. I still stand on my belief that I'm against same-sex marriage because of what the Bible says, but I'm not condemning LGBT. I love you all with the love of the Lord. God Bless you all and I'm praying for you."

Mistakes were made with the launch of the new Nintendo 3DS handheld system earlier this spring, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime says.
With an $80 price cut kicking in on Friday -- Amazon.com and Walmart have already cut the system price -- the game maker hopes to kick-start the system's fortunes.
And next month, a Nintendo stalwart Starfox 64 3D (Sept. 9) comes to the system, as well as a new "Flame Red" hardware color to choose from. The $170 system will then be available in the new red color, Cosmo Black and Aqua Blue.
"This is really about reinvigorating the Nintendo 3DS momentum and having that … power through all during the key holiday selling season," Fils-Aime said.
So far, Nintendo has sold 4.3 million 3DS systems since its release in Japan more than five months ago (its U.S. availability began March 27). But the company admitted sales were weaker than expected, leading to the price reduction from $250 to $170.
Among the lessons learned from the launch, Fils-Aime says, "We needed to have key franchises and stronger first-party titles."
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, released in June, "is selling exceptionally well now. It's driving hardware," he says. "We've seen similar results from Japan with the launch of Starfox (July 14). We have high expectations for (Pokemon Rumble Blast, out Oct. 24) and the two Mario titles (Super Mario 3D Land in November; Mario Kart 7 in December). Certainly, we needed to have stronger support at the launch from a first-party perspective and maybe have some of these key first-party titles earlier in the launch window in order to get the system selling stronger at the start and, ongoing, drive momentum."
Other 3DS games on the way include Ubisoft's James Noir (Nov. 1), Activision's Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure (October) and Sega's Sonic Generations (November) and Shinobi (Nov. 15).
Beyond that, Nintendo needed to have its digital shop in order with plenty of downloadable games in the eShop, a fully stocked video service, and Netflix availability, Fils-Aime said.
The eShop launched in June; video in July. "Certainly we've seen very positive reaction to the digital offerings but it needed to be much sooner in the launch window. As a result that created a situation where the momentum wasn't sustained. And that's why we have now had to go back and reduce the price and reduce the price by a large amount in order to make sure we have stronger momentum beginning on Friday and powering through," he says. "It's a situation where we weren't able to sustain those first few strong positive weeks. This is a momentum business and when you don't have the momentum it creates a tough situation whether it's with retailers or with third-party publishers who become a bit more reluctant to support a platform."
Nintendo still expects to sell 16 million 3DS systems in the first 12 months of its availability.
Mike Snider began covering the video game industry during the Super Nintendo-Sega Genesis clash in 1992. An original pinball wizard, he eventually was seduced by Robotron: 2084 and Tempest. These days he is a fan of action/shooters and lives out his Keith Moon fantasies playing a mean drum kit on music games. More about Mike.
