text: IGN » Games » Wii » News Wii Channels to Require Upgrade Unfortunately, it's MIA until launch. by Micah Seff November 10, 2006 - IGN's final retail Wii system arrived at the office this morning, and we have been delving into the beauty of this mysterious new console ever since. After booting up the system and entering our system settings, we were shocked to discover that although we could see the different Wii channels, we could not access those that needed an Internet connection without an initial upgrade. It seems that the Wii needs this upgrade in order to be able to connect to the Weather, News or Shop Channels. Unfortunately, when we tried to run this upgrade, we were treated to an error screen informing us that our Wii was unable to connect to the network. It seems that, prior to launch, the Wii will not have access to any of the channels or applications that require the user to connect to Nintendo's network. That's bad news for those of you out there intent on getting a Wii before November 19. This revelation came as a shock and a disappointment to many at IGN, as it would have been nice to download some classic games for the Virtual Console. We will keep you posted on any later developments. This sucks!!! IGN: Wii Channels to Require Upgrade

Dubai, October 25, 2010: Mahindra Satyam, the brand name of Satyam Computer Services Ltd., a leading global consulting and IT services provider, envisages Middle East companies can achieve competitive advantage by leveraging next generation applications. With an aim to share with existing customers, prospects, partners about its competency on some of the acquired products of Oracle and Fusion Middleware stack, the company hosted the 'Oracle MENA Customer Roundtable 2010', at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Dubai. Under its innovative signature theme - 'New World. New Possibilities' - the event discussed how a re-energized Tech Mahindra now looks at the 'New World' and innovates to create value for its stakeholders. Eminent speakers from Oracle and Mahindra Satyam, shared their success stories.
The event focused on four key aspects: 'CRM Services on Siebel and CRM on Demand', 'Corporate Performance Management using Hyperion', 'Application Development services using Enterprise 2.0 Services (Web Center, ADF, Portals, UCM, IDM and OBIEE)', and 'Enterprise Business Integration Services using Oracle SOA Suite'.

Speaking at the event, Manojeet Chowdhury, Vice President & Head of MENA Region, Tech Mahindra said, "Our long standing relationship with Oracle has allowed us to maintain various specializations in different areas of Oracle competencies, thereby enabling us to provide value to our customers." He added "Given the challenges presented by the current business scenario of 'new normal' , we are undertaking this initiative to help UAE-based firms leverage Oracle's ERP applications, Edge applications, BI/Analytics applications, CRM applications and Oracle Technology/Infrastructure to boost their competitiveness in the market. Through this event, we are also aiming to boost awareness for Tech Mahindra and Oracle in the region and forge strategic partnerships with local companies."

The company's strong relationship with Oracle's product development teams allows them to gain early visibility into the product/technology roadmap of Oracle, and train its consultants on new technologies and solutions and building new competencies in quick time. Furthermore, the early access helps the company accelerate development of new preconfigured solutions, building PoCs and demonstrating the same to its customers, in addition to promptly resolving technical/product related issues, thereby avoiding bottlenecks during implementation.

With Christmas just around the corner, many parents are on the hunt to snatch up that perfect toy for their children this year, and one local entrepreneur has the perfect toy this holiday season that any little girl would love.
Stacey McBride-Irby is the creator and designer of 'Prettie Girls!' dolls from her One World Doll Project, which strives to make a significant positive cultural impact in the doll category. Stacey joined Pat Prescott in studio to discuss the concept behind her multicultural line of dolls and what inspired her to launch her own business.
"As a little girl, I loved playing with dolls…but after I got old enough, too old to play with dolls actually, that's when I realized my passion for fashion," she explained.
After earning a degree in fashion, Stacey landed the dream job of working at Mattel as a Barbie clothing designer, which she credits to "being in the right place at the right time."
While at Mattel, was inspired to launch a new line of dolls after noticing that her daughter didn't play with dolls like she used to. That's when she pitched the idea to create a line of African-American dolls to Mattel.
"Times are changing so maybe she wants something that she can relate to," she said. "I want little girls who look my daughter to see themselves within dolls, so that's when Mattel gave me the go ahead to do the 'So In Style' dolls."
With the success of the So In Style dolls, Stacey decided to make the jump to start her own line of dolls called Prettie Girls! under her One World Doll Project. These dolls are diverse in culture, interests, attitude, style, and charisma, and provide young girls with a positive outlook on what the real-world standard of beauty looks like.
"I wanted to create dolls that were realistic," she said. "They're multicultural dolls."
So far the reception of the dolls has been off the charts. Stacey tells us that "people are loving them so far because they're relatable, little girls love them because they look like them and collectors love them because there's a variety of dolls to choose from."
Stacey's next goal for her business is to get their name out in the toy world and start getting the dolls in stores. She'll be taking her line to the New York Toy Fair this coming year to help get the buzz out, and is currently selling the dolls online at www.oneworlddolls.com.
To learn more about how One World Doll Project and Prettie Girls! dolls are changing the face of beauty in the toy world, listen to our complete conversation with Stacey McBride-Irby below.

Premier League wedding as model Joanne weds footballer beau Joey in lavish ceremony in Wicklow
Footballer Joey O'Brien and Irish model Joanne Martin are officially a married couple.
The West Ham United player wed the former reality star in a lavish ceremony, attracting a host of famous faces from the worlds of football and fashion.
O'Brien's teammate Andy Carroll was in attendance at the bash, which saw the pair marrying at St Augustin's Church on Thomas before celebrating their reception at Powerscourt Hotel with 200 guests.
And no expense was spared for their special day as the bride donned a custom-made Vera Wang white satin gown with mermaid detail.
The groom arrived just in time, with five minutes to go until the planned 2pm kick-off, but his bride made sure that her star player was left on tenterhooks, by arriving in style 20 minutes later in a silver Rolls Royce.
Joey then swept his bride away for a surprise helicopter ride from the Phoenix Park to the exclusive Powerscourt Hotel in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow, where they enjoyed a five-star reception.
There was a tight perimeter around the ceremony, with unofficial photographers and a number of onlookers being escorted down the street by members of security, who asked them to "move on" several times. Our photographer Conor McCabe was even threatened by one security guard. "He said I'd regret it if I stuck around," he said.

BOSTON - It was a message that could be heard all the way across the continent in Vancouver.
Those Sedin Sistuhs suck! bellowed a beer-bellied Boston Bruins fan outside TD Garden a couple hours before the opening faceoff of Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final.
Former Bruins coach/player Mike Milbury, now a broadcaster with CBC and NBC, did one better.
He referred to Daniel and Henrik Sedin as Thelma and Louise.
After the first four games of this best-of-seven series, even the most rabid Vancouver Canucks fans could not possibly argue with that logic.
Calling Daniel and Henrik. Where are you?
Not on the score sheets in this series, thats for sure.
Not enough, anyway.
As the series shifts back to the left coast for Game 5 Friday night with the Canucks and Bruins deadlocked at two games apiece, take a peek to see where the Sedin twins are in team scoring in the final.
Daniel has two points.
Two more than Henrik.
These are the players who have won the Art Ross Trophy as the NHLs regular season points leader the past two years.
Regular season.
Thats the problem.
Its Stanley Cup time now. Time for your team leaders to step up and take charge. Time for the twins to take the next step, not to stumble into the off-season wondering what might have been.
Two combined points in four games.
To be fair, theyve had scoring chances. Henrik, in fact, was staring at an open net early in the first period on Monday night when a goal would have given the Canucks a 1-0 lead and some much needed momentum in Game 4.
He missed the net.
Same old story.
Two hours later, his head was slouched on the bench, watching the seconds tick down on the Bruins' 4-0 victory in Game 4 at the Garden.
Deep down, he must have known that this is a now new series.
A series in which his Canucks led 2-0 heading to Boston earlier this week.
Asked what the Bruins had been doing to shut he and his brother down, Henrik had a simple explanation.
Weve had chances, the captain replied. We just had some bad bounces. But. really, Tim Thomas has been great. Hes been great. Hes been unbelievable.
Thats the only thing.
The only thing?
The only reason that you and your brother have two points in four games?
Thats a hard explanation to swallow for all those Canucks supporters back in B.C., some of the most loyal fans in the National Hockey League.
Now, just a few days later, the Sedins head back to Vancouver having to regroup after being outscored, outplayed and outclassed by a less talented team that grinded them into the Beantown ice.
How must he feel now that the Bruins outscored their Canucks 12-1 in the two games in Boston?
To be fair, there is plenty of blame to go around throughout the Vancouver dressing room.
Ryan Kesler is hurt. Mason Raymond has been invisible. Keith Ballard looked like a player who had accrued rust while in the press box.
And as far as goalie Roberto Luongo is concerned, he was not good here in Boston. But thats a description you could use for almost the entire team, including the Sedins.
After reading this, there will be Canucks fans who will start sending emails claiming the media has a pro-Boston bias in this series.
To those we say: The numbers dont lie.
Four games. Two points. Combined.
Try arguing with that.
Bruins captain Zdeno Chara deserves some credit for stifling the Sedins, using his 6-foot-9 frame to eclipse them at every opportunity. With the Canucks having the last change in Game 5, maybe coach Alain Vigneault can get them away -- at least momentarily -- from the Bruins defenceman.
Either way, its time for the Sistuhs to turn into men while this series is still theirs for the taking.

So, GAF - how do you feel about this? It's obvious that Nintendo is trying to appeal to the casual market with this campaign, but is distancing themselves from "gamers" the best way to go about it?
Rex Wolff from Twinfinite seems rather livid.
Every bit of progress, every hint of reconciliation, all of it thrown out the window. Nintendo of America doesnt want to be associated with gamers. What exactly is Nintendo trying to say with this horribly misguided campaign? At best, the message can be interpreted as, You dont need to be an intense enthusiast to enjoy Mario, but at worst, it comes out as, Nintendo games and the 3DS are for normal people like you and me, not those troglodytic basement-dwellers.

Help! I'm having fantasies of Jigsaw, the villain in the Saw franchise, hacking up the cast of High School Musical 3: Senior Year, preferably before each caffeinated teenager begins a new musical number. I have nothing against G-rated movies — WALL-e was terrific. But HSM3 appears to be populated by pod people denuded of all the flaws that make us human. Sure, I'd advocate kids to be like the teens in HSM3, but only until they're eight years old. Originality is as absent here as sex. It's all white teeth and pink gums attacking us with broad smiles, flashing limbs and bland music. It's perkiness as a weapon of mass destruction. Night of the Living Dead isn't this terrifying. And here's the real scary part:
HSM3 had a whopping opening weekend, grossing $42 million, the fattest debut ever for a musical, beating even the $29 million debut record set this summer by the almost as awful Mamma Mia! What's that all about? We're being invaded people, by sugar shock set to music. And don't tell me that it's not all sweetness and light at the multiplex. Yes, the R-rated Saw 5 pulled in an impressive $30 million against the twinkle-toed teens. But Saw 5 is also crap, sucking it's wornout franchise to the dregs.
Look, it's no surprise that crap sells. Beverly Hills Chihuahua keeps raking in the coin. So does Eagle Eye and Max Payne while the risky likes of Body of Lies, W. and Flash of Genius die of loneliness at the multiplex. I've heard it said that in times of economic recession, we all want escapism. My question is: Why can't the escapism be good?
HSM3, preceded by two TV movies, isn't cinema, it's a business enterprise whose evil spawn includes bestselling soundtrack albums, DVDs, videogames, costumes, bedding, backpacks, party kits, dinner plates, pajamas, sold-out concert tours and even High School Musical on ice. Here everything drowns in the marshmallow of songs that sound like boy band rejects, frantic choreography that looks not ready for summer stock and dialoque that states the obvious with a real sense of discovery as when Troy (Zac Efron) brings girlfriend Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) on stage for a big number: "You might be ready to leave East High, but East High isn't ready to say goodbye to you." I couldn't say goodbye fast enough. Ay, Chihuahua!
Am I wrong? Someone told me to think hard about the good things in HSM3. All I could come up with is Zac Efron, who seems to have talent as a singer, dancer and actor. But those gifts are easier to see in Hairspray and the upcoming Me and Orson Welles.
So it's up to you. Tell me what you like about HSM3, and why you don't want to see Jigsaw carve it to pieces?

Editor's note: The following is an excerpt from the book "Cougar Converts: Life-Changing Stories from BYU Athletics," By Talo Steves, Jedd Parkinson and Matt Hodge, published by Totalbluesports.com.
It was a difficult and often dangerous life for a child growing up in Columbus, Ga. Drug dealers, burglaries and violence were commonplace, and after witnessing it all firsthand, young Corby Eason decided that he didn't want to live that way.
Corby's mother, Teresa, also wanted a better future for her son. A strict parent, she established a strong religious foundation for her family in the Southern Baptist faith. Teresa was a secretary in the Southern Baptist Church and made sure her son was involved with the religion seven days a week.
Looking back on his childhood, Eason has great love and appreciation for the direction and guidance he received from his mother.
"Being raised by my mom, by herself, that was the best thing that ever happened to me," Eason recalled. "She taught me the key values: my faith, being in tune with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, going to church every Sunday, being part of Bible study every week. That's the only way I made it through my circumstances. I love her so much. Teresa Eason, that's my hero. If it weren't for her and her teaching, I wouldn't be here where I am today."
Life was difficult and money was frequently scarce, but that didn't stop Eason from pursuing his dreams and enjoying his childhood. During summer vacation from school, he and his friends would often pass the time fishing. Unable to afford bait, they would get up early in the morning to collect bait, then jump on their bicycles and ride to the local fishing hole.
Eason was also a gifted athlete and learned to play football in a sandlot near his home. There was no grass field to play on, just the dirt and the rocks, but that didn't deter Eason and his friends. In fact, they played tackle football on that field of dirt and rocks. "I say it made me the athlete I am now, being tough," Eason said. "(I) don't care about pain or anything because I played on these rocks."
Eason excelled at football while at Carver High School, where he was coached by Wallace Davis and Dell McGee. "For his size he was one of the best athletes that a fella ever has the opportunity to work with," Coach Davis recalled. "Off the field, Corby took on the role of a son to me. I was able to interact with him more or less like a father."
After graduating high school, Eason had an opportunity to continue his education and his football career at Erie Community College in Buffalo, N.Y. He quickly left an impression on the field, recording two interceptions, 15 pass breakups, one forced fumble, five fumble recoveries and a blocked field goal that he returned for a touchdown during his freshman year.
With a reported 4.4 second 40-yard dash, the 5-foot-8-inch cornerback soon received a scholarship offer from Marshall University and was hearing from various schools around the country, including Arizona State, UCLA, Vanderbilt and Maryland. Brigham Young University was not initially one of the schools recruiting Eason, so when a BYU coach came to town to recruit another player, he decided to initiate the conversation on his own.
"BYU came out to see one of my teammates, Andre Kates," Eason said. "So they came to see the other cornerback who played on the other side of me. Coach (Patrick) Higgins came out and was talking to him, but Andre had to come back (to Erie) for one more year. Me, I was eligible out of high school so I could leave without waiting another year.
"My J.C. head coach knew that and didn't want me to talk to Coach Higgins because he knew that I had the opportunity to leave, so he told me to go to class. I disobeyed him, which was wrong, but in the long run it was the right decision for me."
Eason not only disobeyed his coach's orders to go back to class, but he also had to hide in the football office until Higgins had finished his meeting with Kates. The meeting took more than two hours, but Eason was determined to wait as long as necessary and stayed hidden around a corner until the meeting was over.
"After Coach Higgins talked with Andre in the office, I just stayed outside for around two hours and missed my class," Eason explained. "I got the opportunity to talk to him when he came out and I showed him my highlight tape."
Looking back at that experience, Eason credits his persistence and stubbornness with earning him a chance to play football at Brigham Young University. "By being stubborn and not listening to my coach, that was the difference in me being here at BYU today.
"I have to say, it was the best decision for me in the long run. My coach was a bit upset but I had to do what was best for me and my family, and staying outside that office to talk to a BYU coach was the best decision I made."
Higgins and the rest of the Cougar coaching staff were impressed with the highlight tape and within a week, Eason was on a flight to Utah for an official visit to the Provo campus. Soon after the visit, he officially committed to play for the Cougars and began making plans to move to Provo.
"I really felt comfortable at BYU on my trip and that's why I committed," Eason explained. "It was a clean place and they call it 'Happy Valley,' and I can see why after being there. I couldn't believe how friendly everyone was: the coaching staff, the players, everyone. I just felt at home from the second I arrived on campus."
While Eason was not LDS, he felt very comfortable in BYU's unique environment. When asked after his visit how he felt about BYU's standards and honor code, he replied, "That's a plus in my mind. BYU is a clean place and I really felt comfortable there with everything," Eason said. "I'm going there to play football and get an education. That's what is important and BYU is the place that can best help me focus on those things."
The full-ride scholarship to play football for BYU gave Eason the opportunity to pursue his goals of playing Division I football and earning a college diploma. Eason also experienced a spiritual reawakening after beginning his studies in Provo. "Before I came out here I kind of got away from God a little bit, but when I came out here I just got closer and closer to my Heavenly Father," Eason said. "Being here has really helped me grow spiritually and get back to what's really important. It really is a wonderful place and I'm just grateful that I had the chance to be here."
The outgoing Eason soon made friends with his teammates, including fellow defensive backs Brian Logan, Andrew Rich, Brandon Bradley and Scott Johnson. The five teammates spent a lot of time together and Eason was soon singing the praises of BYU when speaking to his family and friends back home in Georgia.
"I talk to my other friends back home about how it is out here," Eason said during his first year at BYU. "I even called my best friend Jarmon Fortson, the starting wide receiver for Florida State, and told him how it is out here. I talked to him about how the people treat us out here. They treat us great.
"It's been great and this has been one of the best places I've ever been," Eason continued. "Actually, I love it here better than I do at home. I mean, the community is so friendly out here. I'm from the South and things are kind of different down there, but out here they don't care and like you as is. It's like family out here."
As non-LDS players who were part of the same recruiting class, Eason and Logan soon became close friends and their discussion topics included their religious beliefs. BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall took a special interest in assisting Eason, Logan and the other non-LDS players on the team with their spiritual growth. Looking back on that experience, Logan described the unique relationship.
"Coach Mendenhall is a special head coach," said Logan. "I always joke around with Corby that Coach Mendenhall is like this prophet because he has this glow about him. He really is a spiritual person and the thing I liked is he has never, never, ever thrown or pushed his faith on me. I know this goes for the rest of the guys as well. He's always tried to help me out to become stronger in my faith and my personal relationship with God."
Eason echoed his teammate's thoughts, recounting how BYU helped him to get back to the religious ideals his mother had taught him.
"Being here has really helped me grow spiritually. It really is a wonderful place because it's really helped me get back to what's important and grow closer to God." Eason noted at the time how Coach Mendenhall helped him to grow as a Baptist, and how he made sure that those players who were not LDS participated in religious firesides and were able to share their testimonies.
"It's wonderful because Coach Mendenhall wants everyone to be involved in the firesides," said Eason back in 2010. "Those are not just for members of the LDS faith, but for us too. I plan on talking at one of the firesides, as well as Brian Logan. Coach Mendenhall wants us to share our experiences about how we are disciples of Christ, and that's going to be wonderful. I can't wait to have that experience.
"Looking back as a kid and seeing my mom, being a single mother, taking me to church every Sunday, I remember she would go to Bible study every night and I would go to the nursery and play with the kids. Even when I got in high school she would make me go to church youth groups, so now that I'm in college it's great to have that support from Coach Mendenhall and the rest of the staff here at BYU." ...
Eason played in 12 of 13 games as a sophomore as he got his feet wet at the Division I level. As he began his junior season in 2010, Eason became a much greater force on the football field. He became part of the regular rotation, backing up friend and teammate Brandon Bradley at the boundary corner position. Given increased playing time, Eason quickly left his mark.
In addition to 22 tackles, including 20 solo takedowns, Eason also had 3.5 sacks. The sack number was good enough for second-best on the team — an amazing accomplishment for a backup cornerback. Eason also excelled in the classroom, being named to the Mountain West Conference All-Academic team for the second year in a row.
While Eason was raising his performance on the field and continuing to shine in the classroom, he was also experiencing some big changes off the field. With two games remaining in the regular season, Eason announced to his teammates and coaches that he would be baptized a member of the LDS Church.
Looking back on his conversion process, Eason described how every morning he would look out his window, see Mount Timpanogos and thank God he was in Provo. "Just being out here and learning more about the church has made me happy. I believe the church is true," Eason said.
When asked how he came to believe that, Eason said, "I found out the church was true through prayer. I felt the Spirit and felt the Holy Ghost like I haven't before.
"I just remember on my first day in Provo I felt something. I'm a curious guy. I always want to know how things work, why things work. When I came to BYU I did everything that I was supposed to do. I followed the honor code and for some reason I still wasn't as happy as my other teammates.
"I was curious about what I was missing and I started talking to Andrew Rich and Brandon Bradley more about the church and praying about it and praying more about it and reading the scriptures, the same scriptures that Joseph Smith read, James 1, verse 5. Just reading this scripture and just pondering about my decision, it was a wonderful feeling."
As Eason walked down into the baptismal font on Nov. 18, 2010, he saw many familiar faces standing quietly in support.
The person who had the honor of performing Eason's baptism also happened to be the person he played behind: Bradley. Bradley, who joined the church along with his family while he was a high school student in Florida, played a special role in Eason's spiritual journey.
"Ever since I've been here, I've been talking to (Bradley) about the experience he went through with his family and the church," said Eason. "I love it and really understood more about it. Like, he would answer my questions and was always there for me. He was really a big help to me in learning and understanding."
"I'm excited too!" said Bradley a few days before the baptism. "It's been a long road for Corby and I've been able to sit in on some of the discussions, and it's been good just learning and understanding and living by how he's been taught. I'm excited for him and he's really excited about it and looking forward to it. I'll be there to support him every step of the way."
Without reviewing any film, Coach Mendenhall offered Bradley a scholarship while he was still serving a mission in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Bradley had committed to Louisville out of high school and wasn't sure that BYU was the right place for him, but the decision to attend BYU after his mission came by way of an answered prayer.
While at BYU, Bradley still had one more missionary task to fulfill even though he no longer wore a missionary nametag. "I've tried to do whatever I could to help (Eason) understand the questions he may have," a humble Bradley said with a laugh. "I let him know it's going to be a tough decision, but it's the right decision. I was basically just being me and doing whatever I can and supported him in every step of the way, so I can't take too much credit for it. I think Heavenly Father deserves most of the credit."
Meanwhile, Eason was confirmed by E.J. Caffaro, director of the Student Athlete Academic Center at BYU. "He's been a great help to me, and so I asked him if he would do it," said Eason. Those in attendance at the baptismal service described Eason as happy, humble and sincere. Three of Corby's teammates sang a song and Mendenhall gave a short talk. ...
As Eason completed his junior season, he had more exciting experiences ahead of him. In January of 2011, he married his sweetheart Rebecca. When spring practice began a couple months later, Eason was slotted as the starter at field corner and found himself one of the leaders on the Cougar defense.
After a rough start with some disappointing losses, the Cougars finished the 2011 season 10-3, capped off by a win over Tulsa in the Armed Forces Bowl. Eason finished the year with 46 tackles, seventh-best on the team and tops among the cornerbacks. He also finished the year with 14 pass breakups, which tied with teammate Preston Hadley for ninth best in the nation. Eason's accomplishments on the field were recognized by the national media, as he was named to both the Phil Steele All-Independent First Team and the FBS All-Independent Team.
In January 2012, just one month after his final game in a Cougar uniform, Eason was sealed to his wife Rebecca in the Las Vegas LDS temple. Three months later, he earned his bachelor's degree in psychology, receiving academic honors from the NCAA with a 3.4 grade point average.
Eason discussed his time at BYU with Dick Harmon of the Deseret News in July of 2012. "I remember when I first came to college, we were playing San Diego State and the team drove by the San Diego Temple. I said to myself one day I wanted to go inside that building. This past year, on our honeymoon, Rebecca and I did go in that temple. It was wonderful and I feel so blessed. My relatives back home, the younger kids look up to me for going to college and trying to make something out of myself.38 comments on this story
"I feel fortunate that I got go to play major college football, get an education, meet my wife and have the life I do. I'm a lucky man and coming to Provo changed my life. Many of my friends I grew up with that I talk to — they are happy for me and what is happening."
Eason's accomplishments both on the field and off have not gone unnoticed by his family, friends, coaches and teammates. Carver High School coach Wallace Davis said, "That is the greatest feeling to know that a young man who almost had his hands tied from the start overcame some hurdles that the average person couldn't overcome. And to get where he is at this point is very, very extraordinary."

Swift Boat Democracy & the New American Campaign Finance Regime
|Free Speech & Election Law Practice Group
Commonly known as McCain-Feingold in the Senate and Shays-Meehan in the House, the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 ("BCRA") amended the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 ("FECA") to impose significant new restrictions on American politicians, political parties, interest groups and business corporations interested in expressing an opinion on public policy or presidential and congressional elections. BCRA passed Congress after years of attempts. Following the Enron and WorldCom scandals (which, by the way, had nothing to do with election activity), political conditions finally supported passage of sweeping new restrictions on corporate political activity. The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act was passed by Congress and signed by the President in March 2002. The new law went into effect November 6, 2002, and the Federal Election Commission (FEC) quickly implemented dozens of new regulations to implement the new law. The key provisions of the new law are summarized below. What remains to be seen is what impact they will have upon American elections and democratic speech....

Daughter gives Everett perspective
Houston shortstop's 10 month old recovering from surgery
By /
It had nothing to do with the Braves, or matchups, rivalries or anything game-related. Everett's wish was based on something far more important than baseball.
Playing the Braves means the Kennesaw, Georgia resident gets to go home, and now more than ever, Everett wants to be at home as much as possible.
Everett's 10-month-old daughter, Peyton, underwent successful surgery last month to have a benign tumor removed from her spinal cord. Peyton Everett is doing fine, and her dad, understandably, continues to have her on his mind a lot lately along with everything else he has going in his world.
"When you go through something like this, it really puts everything into perspective," Everett said. "Everything else has to take a back seat. Thank God she's OK now. It's great to walk through that door and see her smiling at me."
Peyton Everett is recovering nicely. The Astros have given their shortstop every opportunity to spend time with her and wife Jennifer. The team arrived here Tuesday, but Adam Everett came home following the win over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. He is spending every moment, when he's not at the ballpark, with his wife and daughter.
During Houston's workout at Turner Field on Tuesday afternoon, Everett looked more rested than he has in weeks. And that could be a very good thing for the Astros.
The 28 year old is Houston's best defensive player, and when he made an uncharacteristic error Thursday that paved the way for a Cubs victory, it looked as if the strain of all he has been through in recent weeks might be taking a toll. For weeks, Everett has been a tough customer in the battle to balance the need to be at home against the non-stop pressure of a starting shortstop on a playoff team. By all accounts, he has been doing an admirable job of handling the strain.
Against the Cubs he clearly wasn't as sharp. Gamer that he is, Everett still insisted on playing.
"He's been amazing the way he's handled everything that's on his plate," teammate Eric Bruntlett said. "[On Sunday], when I made that [error in the ninth inning], I was mad at myself, but Adam came over and said, 'Hey, don't worry about it. We're still up by two runs and we've got the best closer in the game on the mound. Besides, yours didn't cost us the game like mine did.' With everything he's got going on, he's still focused."
Everett admits sometimes it is hard to stay focused, but now that Peyton is farther along on the road to recovery, he is feeling better about things, and something closer to normal has returned to his day-to-day life as a Major League baseball player.
The pace he had been keeping had been brutal. The frequent trips back home and returning to play every night obviously wore on a player who played 152 games this season. Adrenaline will carry you for so long, then fatigue eventually sets in. For Everett, that came last week.
"I kind of hit the wall there, but we had an off-day and that helped," he said.
Every time he went home to watch his baby daughter recuperate, it was hard for Everett to leave her and come back to work.
"The tumor on her spinal cord was benign, they untethered it," Everett said. "She has a six-inch incision on her lower back. Everything went fine, but any time you have surgery, there's going to be some pain. The worst is behind her now and she's getting better."
Everett did not start in the NLDS last season because of a wrist injury, but he was used as a pinch-runner in two games. This time he's healthy and looking forward to playing, especially here at home.
"I feel pretty good," he said. "After last year, it will be nice to do something besides cheer the guys on."
And he'll get to see Peyton smile.
"You know there's a lot more important things in life than baseball," Everett said. "She's definitely that."

You'd Better Shop Around: Doing Due Diligence on Your VC
For a first-time entrepreneur, dealing with a venture capitalist can involve an equal mix of excitement and apprehension. If the VC has any sort of reputation or prominence, entrepreneurs are often grateful simply to be pitching their idea in the first place. Should discussions get far enough along that a term sheet is offered, a new entrepreneur is usually thrilled beyond words.
Those certainly were my emotions back in my entrepreneurial youth, the first time I dealt with venture capitalists. It was one of the most exciting times of my life. But I also remember a few other, much more troubling, emotions, and I know that these, too, are part of being a first-time entrepreneur. These involve the vaguely-formed stories that many entrepreneurs hear about the dark side of the venture world; stories of VCs who weren't trusted partners interested in growing a business, but who simply took advantage of inexperienced or unlucky entrepreneurs for a quick, unsavory gain.
I fortunately never had to deal with that caliber of VC, and I don't think you will, either. Telling one kind of VC from the other is much easier than you think, even if you are a first-timer. The task requires entrepreneurs to use a little common sense, and to do some of the same sort of the due diligence with their VCs that their potential VCs are doing with them.
First, the common sense. If you're lucky enough to be dealing with a top-tier venture capital firm, you have much better things to be doing than fretting that your venture firm is plotting to steal your company away from you. The technology world seems sprawling from the outside, but once you are actually inside, it's a rather small and tight-knit community. No venture fund can get to the top of this world via a career of double-dealing.
But what if a potential VC partner doesn't have an obvious bit of Silicon Valley pedigree? This is where due diligence becomes important. Every VC lists their investments on their web site; give some of those investments a call and ask your counterparts what their experiences have been like. Good VCs won't mind being "checked up on" in this way; to the contrary, they will view it as an indication of your seriousness and thoroughness.
If you end up doing business with a VC, the interaction will be based on the term sheet that spells out the particulars of the venture firm's investment in you. Term sheets can be extremely complicated documents, and you'll need the guidance of an experienced lawyer to help you with your side of it.
I am not that lawyer. But there is one element of a term sheet I'd like to mention, in part because it seems to confuse many entrepreneurs, and in part, I regret to say, because I have occasionally seen unscrupulous venture capitalists use it to their advantage.
A "no-shop" clause is often, but not always, a standard part of a term sheet. During the period covered by the clause, the entrepreneur agrees to … Next Page »

New Faces
Another day, another new group at Storm practice. Shyra Ely and Tye'sha Fluker joined the group last night, while Sarah McKay and Aya Traore were waived this morning.
"We felt like Shyra came in had a nod over Aya in the three spot, so that's why we let Aya go," said Storm Coach Anne Donovan. "Sarah - same thing. We just felt like Tye, in the short period of time we were able to look at Tye, and Ashley continues to improve, that her shot at making the team was going to be a longshot."
Donovan mentioned yesterday that she's looking at some of the players invited to camp as future prospects should the Storm need a player midseason. Donovan said McKay would definitely be a part of that group, as a 6-7 post who has room to develop.
I was a little surprised when Donovan said that 2006 first-round pick Barbara Turner, solid as a rookie last season, will have to play for her job during camp.
"For a while, we had to evaluate, did we think Aya could outplay Barb? Without Barb being here, it's tough to really get a handle on that. When Shyra came in, it became clear that Shyra was better than Aya, so we now we have to evaluate Barb and Shyra, probably."
Katie Gearlds, however, is a lock in Donovan's mind.
By the end of today's practice, the Storm was down to six players. Fluker rolled an ankle and showed her toughness by trying to get back on the floor, but the staff wanted her to rest. With no evening session today, Fluker should be available tomorrow. Yolanda Paige's injury could be more serious, as she has a sore left knee.
"We're going to get an MRI," Donovan said. "She tweaked it in the morning, I guess, and played through it last night. Woke up this morning with a lot of stiffness."
The group that's in camp is expected to swell tomorrow, when invitee Brooke Queenan arrives from overseas. Queenan should be available for tomorrow's evening session. Janell Burse and Betty Lennox will likely be back early next week, probably at practice on Tuesday.
Donovan doesn't expect to add any free agents after signing Ely yesterday.
"Right now, we have no other plans, but we are looking at the waiver (wire) every day," said Donovan. "I feel really good with what we've got. I think we've got some really hard decisions just with the players we have here and the ones coming in, so I don't anticipate any additions, but we'll see. I might regret saying that if people free up."

ENERGY customers have been overcharged more than $750,000 in a huge penalty fee rip-off.
Thousands of former and some present Australian Power & Gas customers based in Victoria are entitled to refunds after the state's utilities regulator uncovered the billing scandal.
The company blamed "an error regarding the interpretation of allowable charges".
The Herald Sun understands consumers were slugged excessive contract exit fees from as far back as April 2012 through to August last year.
The retailer has written to those who were unfairly stung when they quit APG within the first year of a contract.
It is trying to compensate $754,242 that was overcharged to 11,610 accounts - an average of almost $65 each.
The price gouging only emerged after an Essential Services Commission industry wide website sweep and early termination fee policy check.
Energy giant AGL, which acquired APG in October last year, apologised.
"We have been working to remedy the situation and affected customers will be refunded in full over the coming months," spokeswoman Nicole Rizgalla said.
About 6500 so far have either received credits or will be sent cheques late this month.
But it is unclear whether all dudded consumers will be tracked as they include people who have changed address.
The controversy follows APG's $1.1 million fine for dodgy doorknocker tactics.
Under state regulations businesses can charge exit fees of up to $20, plus GST and a "proportionate" return of paid incentives such as rebates and gift and movie vouchers.
The Herald Sun reported in October that an excessive fee investigation was taking place but only now has the company's identity and full scale of the problem been revealed.
ESC spokeswoman Amanda Clark said APG had given a voluntary undertaking to identify and reimburse customers.
The State Government has previously ruled out an exit fee ban. The industry argues scrapping the charges would shrink price discounts offered in contracts.
Opposition energy spokeswoman Lily D'Ambrosio said tougher enforcement of retailers was needed to avoid rip-offs.
The Government is reviewing a range of consumer protections.

The lending CUSO reports sales will hit a record 17.4 million in 2015 but just 17.6 million in 2016.
Demand for new cars and light trucks pushed auto loan originations to $69.6 billion in January and February, most since 2009.
Interest rates may not be as important as response to potential borrower. (Check out the graphic at the bottom!)
Vehicle loan portfolio expansion continues to be the driving force behind credit union loan growth, CUNA Mutual Group says.
Three months after Hurricane Sandy's destruction slammed several states, the storm may have contributed to a jump in loans for new cars at credit unions.
Analysis from CUNA Mutual Group's October Credit Union Trends Report reveals factors that contributed to 4.1% annual new vehicle growth as of August.
A sustained demand for new cars has helped Autoland Inc. post positive earnings through August, the auto buying CUSO said.
Just a year ago, credit unions were in the midst of a 2.3% contraction within their auto loan portfolios. Not anymore.
Continuing a year-long trend, sales of new cars and trucks showed a strong rebound in August.

HM Treasury has agreed in full with the majority of the public accounts committee's (PAC) key criticisms and conclusions on the care records aspect of the National Programme for IT (NPfIT), but argued that some of the applications which have been delivered under the project are now "essential" to the NHS.
In a document published in response to findings published by the PAC on the care records programme, HM Treasury says: "The NPfIT has successfully delivered a number of national applications and essential infrastructure upon which the NHS now relies; these include the Spine, N3 network, NHSmail, Choose and Book, secondary uses service and picture archiving and communications service."
However, it acknowledges that the "top-down" approach to implementation of local systems has not delivered the benefits expected and that the NHS has not been sufficiently engaged in the delivery of local care records systems.
HM Treasury goes on to say that it does not accept the committee's conclusions about the Department of Health (DH) failing to secure a good deal in its contract negotiations with BT. It said that it believes that the DH made clear in its evidence to the committee earlier this year that the claim that the price of Cerner Millennium in the south was 47% higher than in the London region was not comparing like with like, since the baseline used to determine this figure was "inappropriate".
"The claim failed to take properly into account changes in the BT delivery model for Cerner Millennium and that the green-field sites systems in the south were of a significantly bigger scale and complexity and had a different underlying technical solution from those delivered to the London trusts," says the document.
HM Treasury explains that it partially agrees with the public accounts committee's conclusion that weak management and oversight of the programme have resulted in poor accountability for project performance. But it argues that savings of £1.3bn have been made against the original estimate for the programme and the items delivered and operating successfully account for a substantial amount of the £6.4bn spent to date.
"This is a clear demonstration that payment on delivery is working. The department does accept that the delivery of systems in the acute setting has proved more difficult than anticipated and that this element of the programme has not progressed as well as other areas," says the report.
HM Treasury goes on to back plans for NHS trusts to receive more information from the government as soon as possible about future potential costs when they take over the responsibility for care records systems in 2015-16.
The public accounts committee's report, published in August, centred on the care record system's inability to provide interoperability of locally procured electronic care records systems with those delivered through the NPfIT. It also said that the DH was clearly overpaying prime NPfIT provider BT to implement systems.
The DH recently confirmed that it intends to wind down the programme to allow for a more locally led approach.

While there are 19 species of snowdrop only a few are likely to be found in Britain (outside of specialist collections/botanic gardens). The commonest is definitely Galanthus nivalis which is almost the only one that you might find somewhere that looks truly wild (i.e not in, or next to an old garden or churchyard). This has a double flowered form "flore pleno" which is also very widely naturalised.
The main things to look at when trying to identify snowdrops are the way the leaves are arranged and their shape and colour (Grey-green, Green or Bluish-grey) and the pattern and extent of the green markings on the inner parts of the flower.
Leaves can emerge from the bulb with the two leaves flattish, facing each other and be the same size (applanate) *see picture - our common snowdrop (G. nivalis) is like this. A slightly different leaf form sees the margins of the leaf narrowly tucked under (explicate) - this type is shown by G. plicatus.
The other main type has one leaf base wrapping round the other (supervolute) *see picture - plants with bluish-grey leaves are likely to be Galanthus elwesii, those with glossy bright green leaves are likely to be G. woronowii (often mislabelled ikariae in garden centres).
Many of the bigger, stronger growing garden forms are actually hybrids, usually of G. nivalis with G.plicatus - they have broader leaves than nivalis (wider than a little finger-nail) and you can see that one or more of the leaf margins shows the narrowly folded over edge shown by plicatus. The more garden worthy double forms known as the Greatorex hybrids are of this parentage.
G. nivalis and most of the commonly grown species have a single green mark at the end of the inner flower segments but G. elwesii typically has two discrete green patches - one at the top, one at the bottom - although in a lot of plants these two merge together and many plants of G. elwesii in cultivation only have a single apical green patch (these are often incorrectly labelled G. caucasicus in garden centres) - they can be told from nivalis (and plicatus) by their leaf arrangement.
Identifying named cultivars, of which there are hundreds is not easy - some are very distinctive because they show strikingly abnormal flowers but many differ in only small subtle ways. To try to get to grips with these it is best to look in the excellent monograph by Grimshaw et al. where pictures and detailed descriptions are given - there are also snowdrop picture galleries on the web where you can compare your plants with named examples.

Apple co founder and all around genius Steve Wozniak suggested the iPhone 4 users carry a second phone and he recommends that phone be from Verizon.
While Wozniak is certainly no stranger to being critical of Apple, his latest recommendation is a bit surprising as he's been a widely known iPhone fan for years, even standing in line to get an original iPhone a few years ago.
Apparently, Wozniak had a change of heart after experiencing the widespread antennae problems that are currently plaguing iPhone 4 users.

Scott Miller, artistic director of St. Louis' New Line Theatre, promised something new and different for his production of Jesus Christ Superstar, and he certainly came through, providing a climax that was shocking both in terms of the action itself and in terms of what impact it brought to the production as a whole.
Although the musical and its title character have always had political overtones, Miller makes it more so by placing fedoras as well as "press" cards on the chorus, giving them a more contemporary attitude. Indeed, Miller has set the musical in a contemporary timeframe with the actors in modern street garb -- think of a graduate school production of Hair.
Khnemu Menu-Ra and John Sparger opened the production as Jesus and Judas, respectively; they are alternating in the roles from week to week. At the performance I attended, Menu-Ra underplayed Jesus in fine style, and while Sparger had some difficulty in his upper register as Judas, his acting was solid.
Other impressive voices came from Charles Glenn as a king-sized Herod, with a deeply sarcastic sneer in his voice as he stopped the show with "King Herod's Song," and Kevin Collier as Caiaphas, whose rumbling bass has great power. The tall, burly Collier was a splendid contrast, physically and vocally, with the slight, slender Aaron Allen as Annas. Their duets were stylish and effective. Kimi Short was an effective Mary, gaining strength and focus in Act II, especially in her duet with Adam Leong as Peter, "Could We Start Again, Please?"
Miller's modernization concept gives the production a thought-provoking aura. The production also avoids the tendency of the final scenes to feel interminable.
Todd Schaefer has designed a simple but workable set: a bare, rectangular stage with a staircase at one end, the audience on three sides. Florian Staab designed the lights and sound, and made each a strong, complementary part of the action.
Jesus Christ Superstar runs June 1-24 at the Art Loft Theatre, 1529 Washington. Tickets: (314) 534-1111. Website: www.geocities.com/newlinetheatre.

Tigers' Stelmack finishes first
nancy scholz/times news Northwestern girls are grouped together in the front of the pack just after the start of the Colonial League cross country championship race. The Tigers won the team title.
BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP - Tyler Stelmack wanted another shot at the league meet since the second last year's meet ended. His excitement had been building for monthsuntil he finall got his chance and made the most of it Thursday.
The Northwestern junior topped the field by 25 seconds in winning this year's Colonial League title.
"I've been waiting for this day since the end of last year," said Stelmack. "I was telling people this morning my nervous level was like mid-way. At the starting line I was bursting through."
Northwestern celebrated two champions at the meet, which was held at Moravian Academy. The Lady Tigers girls team placed its top five runners in the top 14 places to take the girls team title.
Stelmack finished the boys race in 16:39.2 with Wilson's Jaryd Flank (17:05.1) well behind.
Stelmack ran with the lead pack as the team started into a west wind. When the course turned around, with the wind at his back, he pulled away.
"After the first mile I started separating myself more," he said. "Everybody was kind of packed together in the start because the wind was in our faces."
Since finishing 14th last year while running a fever at the league meet, Stelmack looked forward to returning and competing for the title. He had been training to run at DeSales, but the meet was moved because of a wet course. The decision was made yesterday to run at Moravian, a much flatter track.
"I was preparing for the hills [at DeSales]," Stelmack said. "We were doing hill work outs. To switch from a course that has no hills to a course that isn't really hilly at all throws off the training a little bit."
The change didn't seem to throw off Stelmack, who is in just his second year of cross country after playing football freshman year.
"From last year to now I've come such a long way," he said. "I just want to keep improving into districts."
He heads into Class AA districts next week as one of the favorites. He finished sixth at districts last year, earning a trip to states in his first year as a competitive runner. His primary goal is to get back to Hershey this fall.
"The goal [for districts] is to get either first or second," Stelmack said. "But I would honestly be happy just getting to states again."
Northwestern's girls team is also looking to earn a spot at the state meet.
The Lady Tigers won the girls meet by 13 points over Notre Dame (Green Pond) with Haley Yost taking second place overall.
"I'm super excited and proud of myself," said Yost, a sophomore. "I was sick for the majority of the season. To come back feels amazing."
Saucon Valley's Elizabeth Chikotas won the girls individual title in 19:21.20.
No one in the league could match Northwestern's depth. With Yost (19:53.3) in second place, senior Emma Kemerrer in sixth and a pack of Lady Tigers occupying 12th-15th place, Northwestern put its top six runners ahead of Notre Dame's fourth.
"The postseason is pretty much what you train for in the summer," said Emma Kemmerer. "It puts a lot of pressure on us, but we deal with pressure pretty well I think. We were just ready for it."
Rachele Cerrone (12th), Erica Sarnicky (13th) and Carly Pierce (14th) rounded out the scoring for Northwestern. Natalie Boehm (15th) and Katrina Hartman (23rd) were also part of the winning effort.
Unlike some of their league title teams in the recent past, Northwestern doesn't have one runner that always leads the way. Several different runners placed first for the team at dual meets, leading to a healthy competition among the teammates.
"You never know who's going to have an amazing day," said Boehm, a senior and a four-year varsity runner. "We just go in and everyone does their best and we see what happens. We all just try to run with each other and push each other."
"It makes for more competition on the team," said Kemmerer. "But it's definitely friendly competition. It's just a whole team effort."
Northwestern's girls head into next week's Class AAA district meet against strong competition, including Emmaus and Parkland. The Tigers have been competitive with those teams at invitationals this fall and have a very good shot to either win districts or get a top-two spot to earn a team berth into states.
"We're definitely excited," said Yost. "Just because we're not [Class] Double-A doesn't mean we're going to slow down. In order to be the best you have to beat the best. We're excited to get better competition at districts."
Palmerton and Northern Lehigh also ran at leagues.
Samantha Corcoran led the No. Lehigh girls, finishing 17th. Alex Hoffner (33rd) was Northern Lehigh's top boys finisher.
Palmerton's Mike Horvath (22nd) and Andrea Stevko (11th) were the top Bomber runners.

The art of fisherman's mittens
Searsport — All Kinds of Fisherman's Mittens, a talk and workshop by Robin Hansen, will take place Saturday, Feb. 2, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the downtown Penobscot Marine Museum.
Hansen will bring her collection of mittens from around the world and speak on the history and traditions of knitting mittens and their importance to fishermen. She will teach the old-time Maine cast-on and help participants knit the mittens of their dreams, whether they be European or down-home Maine.
Hansen is a folklorist and mitten expert who has written articles on knitting for such publications as Interweave Knits, Knitter's Magazine and Vogue Knitting. She searches out traditional patterns and tests, clarifies and modifies them to make them accessible to today's knitters. Hansen, who lives in West Bath, is the author of several knitting books; her new knitting book "Ultimate Mittens," and her book about Maine mittens, "Favorite Mittens," will be on hand.
Cost for the workshop, which will be held in the museum's Stephen Phillips Memorial Library on Church Street, is $40, $35 for museum members. Participants should bring their yarn and needles; lunch will be provided. To register, visit fishermanmittens.eventbrite.com or call 548-2529.
Courier Publications' A&E Editor Dagney C. Ernest can be reached at (207) 594-4401, ext. 115 or email@example.com.

Efficacy of combined therapy in patients with hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis
Lv GC, Yao JM, Yang YD, Zheng L, Sheng JF, Chen Y, Li LJ. World J Gastroenterol. 2013 Jun 14;19(22):3481-6. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v19.i22.3481.
Clinical Laboratory, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou 310003, Zhejiang Province, China.
AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of combined de novo lamivudine (LAM) and adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) therapy in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related decompensated liver cirrhosis patients.
METHODS: One hundred and forty patients with HBV-related decompensated cirrhosis were recruited, 70 patients were treated with combined LAM and ADV de novo therapy, and the other 70 patients were treated with LAM alone as controls. The follow-up period was 144 wk. All patients with LAM resistance were shifted to ADV.
RESULTS: The percentage of HBV-related decompensated cirrhosis patients with undetectable HBV DNA in de novo combination group was 51.6% (33/64), 84.2% (48/57), and 92.3% (49/53) by weeks 48, 96, and 144, respectively. In monotherapy group, HBV DNA negativity rate was 46.1% (30/65), 56.1% (32/57), and 39.2% (20/51) by weeks 48, 96 and 144, respectively. There was a significant difference between the two groups by weeks 96 and 144 (P = 0.012 and 0.001). The hepatitis B e antigen seroconversion rate was 28.1% (9/32), 40.0% (12/30), and 53.6% (15/28) in the combination group by weeks 48, 96 and 144, respectively, and 24.2% (8/33), 31.0% (9/29), and 37.0% (10/27) by weeks 48, 96 and 144, respectively, in monotherapy group. A total of 68.6% (44/64), 84.2% (48/57), and 92.5% (49/53) patients achieved alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normalization by weeks 48, 96 and 144, respectively in the combination group. In monotherpy group, the ALT normalization rate was 64.6% (42/65) by week 48, 73.7% (42/57) by week 96, and 80.4% (41/51) by week 144. No patients in the combination group exhibited detectable resistance for at least 144 wk. The cumulative resistance rate in monotherapy group at weeks 48, 96, and 144 was 20.0%, 36.8%, and 56.9%. Both combination group and monotherapy group demonstrated an improvement in Child-Turcotte Pugh and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease scores at weeks 48, 96, and 144. All patients tolerated both combination and monotherapy. The ceratinine levels and glomerular filtration rate remained normal in all patients during the follow-up period.
CONCLUSION: In HBV-related decompensated liver cirrhosis patients, the combined de novo LAM and ADV therapy is more efficacious and safer compared to LAM alone.

Transforming your lists into a joined hash with list two first, so that list one will overwrite list two. Then transform back to list:
Disadvantage is that order is not preserved.
Update: it can be done even easier like this:my @list = values %{{ +map { /(.*)=/; $1=>$_ } @list_two, @list_one }};
By tayloring the part /(.*)=/; $1=>$_ you can transform your data as you like.

Ask Kids Relaunches With Cute Kids Features
A few days ago, Ask.com relaunched Ask Kids, their search flavored for children. The Ask.com blog just wrote about the launch last night.
Ask.com said the Ask Kids site was "built from the ground-up, with our own search technology." It seems like Ask.com added a "very strict" list of which sites are allowed in the Ask Kids index and which are not allowed. They claim it is the "most comprehensive, kid-friendly search available today."
The search result layout is pretty much the same, with a three-pane view, but it does add a more kid friendly design to it. The feature I like the best is what I call, the kids place mat, which allows you to draw and scribble on the home page of Ask Kids. Here is my master piece:
Ask also added what they call the Schoolhouse, which provides learning resources, shortcut links, and reference sites for particular school subjects.
We're listening.

How Much Does A MG Oil Cooler Replacement Cost?
On your MG, the oil cooler whisks away excessive heat from the engine oil in a radiator-like manner.
While it's not normal to require replacement, the oil cooler can develop a leak due to impact or corrosion and need to be changed – that's when it's good to know AutoGuru.


text: I've watched a fair few videos of wiisports and it does seem fun. I'll no doubt play that before I play Twilight Princess just to get the wiimote feeling but does it not seem somewhat disappointing that you have very little control you have in the games. Take Tennis for example. I don't think you can actually move your characters, you just hit the ball with the wiimote (no nunchuck) and the miis just automatically move. Golf also, it doesn't seem like you can choose where you hit it. You just give it the right amount of swing. Anyone know anything about this?

Brian S.wrote a question about Movement Skis Source Ski on September 8, 2012
I am 195cm (6ft 4) 97kg (215lbs)
I am 195cm (6ft 4) 97kg (215lbs)
Would like to get the source ski but not sure what size. Will most likely be used 80% in the back country in the Alps. Not sure if I should go with the 185 or 193...
