Mothership Touch Battle Free
Ever wished that Asteroids was multiplayer? Mothership takes the idea and runs with it, though instead of directly controlling an attack ship, you control a mother ship that spawns fighters.

"Take the head of a space fleet, give orders from your mothership. The fate of the galaxy is led by your finger ." Mothership Touch Battle is a multiplayer real-time strategy game for tablets and smartphones. Two players battle it out in space in order to be the last mothership standing.

You're the one in charge of your strategy : subtle or NOT .
Pixel Kingdom

Android Police coverage: [New Game] Popular iOS Title 10000000 Lands On Android, All The Loot And Tile Matching You Can Handle For $1.99
Dungeon crawlers and tile-swapping matching puzzles seems like a strange combination, but 10000000 mashes them up with aplomb. It's gained a large following on iOS, and now that it's on Android, it takes just two dollars American to try out the unique combination of genres for yourself. Pixel art meshes well with RPG elements, like a leveling system and customizable equipment.

Plasma Sky
Lasers are awesome, and you can never have enough of them. That's the principle beneath Plasma Sky, a mix between old-school space shooters and seizure-inducing visual overload. Free movement makes it more like Geometry Wars than Galaga, though the artistic style is a nice mix of old school and flashy effects. In a refreshing counter-trend, the game is a flat $2 with no ads and no in-app purchases.
Plasma Sky is a shiny new space shoot-em-up featuring 80 levels, lots of power-ups, and multiple game modes. It's universal, and there are no in app purchases. It's fun. If you're skeptical, I understand. There are a lot of space shooters in the store. This one's good though. There's lots of kinds of enemy ships, and snakes, and your ship powers up and can get different kinds of ammo. There's a regular shield, but also a spike shield that lets you ram enemies. There are bosses. And there's lasers. And you can get a wing-man who can power up too. And you and your wing-man can get lasers.
bit Dungeon
Roguelike: an RPG-inspired genre that focuses on procedural level generation and permanent player death. We've featured a few of these before now, but bit Dungeon seems to be the best yet, with added special moves and some impressive graphics (for this niche, anyway). Best of all, you can save your progress to pick it up later - but if you die, you're still dead.
You and your wife were captured by demons... You wake up trapped in a cell, grab your sword and let the quest to find your wife begin. The "Save Rune" feature is only there to stop playing and pick it up later. If you die you lose all items and start over. Extra Life: at Level 4 you receive a Soul after the boss instead of more magic. When you die this soul gives you a second chance. "Touch" to control the character. Hold down "Touch" to charge up and use a STUN ATTACK. Once CHARGED your next attack will be a POWER ATTACK dealing the total [Attack Damage+Critical Damage+Armor] Hold Down "Touch" to BLOCK any attack.
Ascent of Kings by Nostatic Software
A classic platformer to the core, Ascent of Kings gives you the twitchy gameplay and pixelated graphics you crave, with a little bit of story thrown in for good measure. You'll also get your tiny avatar's skills and powers improved as you progress. Some reviewers are claiming that the controls are difficult - a bad thing for this particular genre. Here's the free demo if you want to see for yourself.
The death of a King. An epic challenge to choose a new ruler. Will the youngest of four brothers turn out to be the strongest? Will a boy become King? The answer is up to you.
• Classic adventure-platformer gameplay.
• Explore and encounter strange creatures - some harmless, some not.
• Navigate dangerous passages and evade deadly traps.
• Seek out elemental shrines and receive upgraded abilities.
Regular Ordinary Boy
This game takes place in a far-away fantasy land, in which you slay dragons, find treasure, and perform other feats of derring-do. And it stars... a guy. Just an ordinary boy, as the title indicates. What's less than ordinary (at least these days) is a $2 game with no ads or IAP, and a collection of loot with which to gird your digital loins as you progress through the side-scroller.
Regular Ordinary Boy is a retro action-adventure sidescroller. This app is universal. Hit stuff with swords. Kill monsters, collect gold and other loot. Purchase new swords and armor at shops on your journey. Defeat epic bosses. Find hidden treasures. Can you defeat the evil wizard who burned your house down?
Kaptain Brawe
Point-and-click adventure games are a dime a dozen on Android as of late. So if you're going to start one, it's got to be in your range of interests as far as fiction goes. Kaptain Brawe is made for fans of Flash Gordon and the like, and keeps its literary tongue firmly in cheek as it goes through four settings and 40 individual locations.
Step into this whimsical point-and-click interstellar adventure and see what it takes to be a real Space Police officer. In this alternate reality, get ready to embark on a journey filled with quests, conspiracies and general chaos. You will have to step into the shoes of the brave Kaptain Brawe and follow the trail of two kidnapped alien scientists. Explore four colorful and mysterious planets while meeting intriguing and unique characters. Become a part of this hilarious story and reveal the great Space Age conspiracy in Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World.
Alien Hive
What do puzzle games and alien life have in common? Up until now, not much. Alien Hive is a pretty standard matching/clearing tile game, with added powerups (like a complete re-jumble) added to the mix. It comes from Appxplore, the guys that created Sporos, so naturally the chill vibe comes through in the graphics and sound department.
Alien Hive is all about evolving aliens, blending match-3 with sliding tile puzzles for a game that feels both familiar and fresh. Swipe tiles to make matches – combine eggs to hatch cute baby aliens, and then help them fully evolve into Supreme Aliens. Match resource tiles for upgrades that let you take command of the board, with the goal of building the ultimate alien hive. Strategically avoid the Naughty Bots, who block your progress, by crafting power-ups to eliminate these baddies. As you advance, you will uncover the mystery of the hidden aliens and tame the Red Planet.
Chip Chain
Have you ever wished Bejeweled could have the glamour, poise, and downright sleaze of a casino game? Consider your wish granted. It's the standard reverse-and-match game on a green felt background, though you can play power-up cards for a little variable action. Some heavy-handed IAPs will unlock more modes, or you can grind away to open them yourself.
Place and match 3 or more identical poker chips to earn a more valuable chip, then chain together matches for huge bonuses. Play power-up cards to make combos, extend chains, and maximize your score. The dealer tosses chips to get in your way, but if you play smart and think ahead, you can turn the tables and use them to your advantage. Earn gems to spend on better chips, more powerful cards, bigger hands, gem multipliers, and more.
Android Police coverage: iOS Hit 'SpellTower' Comes To The Play Store, Marries Scrabble And Tetris For Your Brain-Busting Enjoyment
And you thought all the good game ideas were taken. Spelltower, as has already been indicated, marries the core concepts of Tetris and Scrabble to create an interesting take on the word jumble that couldn't be easily applied to real-world wooden tiles. The game already has an army of fans on iOS, and anyone looking for a new take on wither the word puzzle or falling blocks would do well to check it out.
Looking for a word game that goes beyond a simple Scrabble/Boggle/Jumble clone? SpellTower is for you. Find and swipe (or tap.) words in 5 challenging modes. Make long words or use bonus tiles to clear extra letters from the screen. Once you have it down, Challenge your friends via intense local multiplayer. Pick your words wisely. As you work, more tiles rise from the bottom of the screen, and it'll take all of your lexicological wits and tactical know-how to keep them down. If any of the letters make it to the top row, it's game over.
Vex Blocks
Vex Blocks has a simple focus, even if the flashy presentation obfuscates it: make combinations of like-pattered blocks to eliminate them, and clear the with the highest score possible. There's also the gravitational element - rotating your device will allow the blocks to rearrange theselves to the physics engine. Different modes make up a lot of the draw, with standard, timed and free play options available to the gamer.
"Vex Blocks" is the easy-to-play, exciting and addictive block game. Match up blocks by symbol and/or color to draw the longest chain of lightning possible. Draw lightning chains on your screen to surround and neutralize bomb blocks before they explode or to capture power-ups and increase your coin count. Collect coins to gear up with unique power-ups like the Black Hole, X-Block or Nuke to help you along the way. Challenge your friends to beat your score and earn more coins, or team up and take on our score trials together.
Orion's Forge
Puzzle games are traditionally light on narrative, but Orion's Forge bucks the trend, with a collection of levels designed to help the titular demigod tell his stories. You'll have to movie the stars in the right order to advance the story. It's just too bad that the developers decided to make their own constellations for this game - it's not as if Greek and Roman astrology hasn't provided us with more interesting fare already.
Orion's Forge is a brain-teasing puzzle narrative where players help the celestial smith Orion create new stars. New stars are formed by guiding energy to each level's star launcher. Players manipulate the path of energy by moving magnetic towers around the forge. The towers come in two polarities: push and pull. You must carefully adjust the magnetic field to avoid collisions with obstacles like black holes. Later levels introduce new mechanics like portals and converter beams which toggle the polarity of towers that touch the beam.
Sky Without Sun: Target (Free)
If Tetris were played in reverse, and featured a big honking bomber plane instead of inoffensive falling blocks, it might look something like Sky Without Sun. The sci-fi story is a bit lost in the gameplay, but basically, you bomb the blocks to keep them down. If any of them reach the top of the play field, you'll lose, and presumably, so will humanity.
Destroying blocks has just become more fun... A secret organization is doing its weapons research and training. You're one of the members and part of a bomber plane crew. Prevent the training robots from getting to the top of the weapons research chamber for as long as possible. Hold the robots back by dropping bombs and destroying the blocks they build. Gain experience points for blocks destroyed and spend them on special weapons.
No, this isn't an official tie-in for the most popular Android ROM out there. Instead, you control a two-dimensional plant as it travels through 50 levels, giving each square it touches a case of cyanosis. Light up all the squares to finish the level. It's pretty simple (and it's been done before) but for a buck, it's certainly reasonable.
Cyan is a logic puzzle game. The player will control a plat with the "power" of coloring of cyan the tiles it touches. Therefore the game purpose is to color the whole level in only one solution, having studied previously the path to take.The plat movements must be well studied...it won't be possible to go back on the tiles already colored. Moreover in the different levels the plat must pay attention to enemies and obstacles, as sharp balls and shutted doors.
Islands Planet
Imagine Minesweeper plaid across an entire planet, from the perspective of an orbiting satellite. That's the nuts and bolts of Islands Planet, though the size of the islands makes up the mines in the traditional Minesweeper game, with the oceans working as the blank space. In the context of a spherical puzzle game, it's a neat idea.
If you like Sudoku, Akari3D or Minesweeper, you'll love this game. You play a god who creates planets according to specific rules. Inspired by the famous Japanese logic game Nurikabe (also known as Cell Structure and Islands in the Stream), this puzzle game will ask you to shape the continents and oceans of a planet. It's original, simple to play but very challenging.
Paper Race HD
When you were a kid, you made paper airplanes as an outlet for fantasy. Now things have come full circle, with games relying on your nostalgia for mechanics. In Paper Race you'll need to use the old reliable kart racing skills in three dimensions, as you race similar planes across a city track. The game boasts surprisingly customizable graphics options, so those with shiny new devices or old clunkers should be equally served.
...Paper City is burning - the streets are empty, the city is dead. You and your fellows got nothing to do... it's time for PAPER RACE...
- HD-Textures - highly detailed
- Fast-paced stunt action
- No Ads
- Touch or tilt to control
Bowling Blocks
If ever there was a case of truth in advertising, Bowling Blocks is it: you use blocks to bowl. Smashing blocks out of the way or creating the desired pattern is the objective, but it's not the draw. No, the star of this show is the dynamic lighting on display. Hopefully we'll be seeing it in more advanced games before too long.
1Get ready for beautiful dynamic lighting effects and brain-busting physics gameplay. Bowling Blocks has you solving puzzles using physics, your finger, and a little bit of fun. Enjoy the dazzling lighting and shadow effects as you collide block after block, always striving for the coveted three star level rating. After upgrade, Bowling Blocks features over 200 levels, plus a random level generator.
Sling It! (Pollushot 2)
If you mixed Angry Birds and Missile Defense, you'd probably get something like this. Sling It uses a fixed slingshot to defeat waves of enemies, mixing space shooter games with a little modern physics. As pieces of the ship fall off, you can use them to fire back, in a super-sized game of "stop hitting yourself."
Slingshot hordes of smoke-spewing robots out of the skies. In the future, Pollutnik robots have blotted out the sun and created an eternal winter. That's where you come in; with your trusty sling-ship, you can catch shattered pieces of enemy robots and use them as ammo. This sequel to the classic Pollushot features even more robots, shots and levels than the original. Now with powerups. Catch wrenches to restore health and make the game last forever... or power up your shots with crazy abilities.
Galaxy Assault
One-eyed monstrosities from the edge of the galaxy get a bad rap. In this reversal of the traditional space shooter, you play a love-struck alien just trying to get his tentacles around his kidnapped love. (This guy and Mario must hang out at the same bar.) When you get tired of the interesting gameplay and animation, there's plenty of costumes to try out, if that's your thing.
Shitake was made captive... now it's time for revenge. Take control of this charismatic alien and help him to get rid of all those stubborn enemies that will try to take him down. Despite his awesome powers, Shitake's enemies will try endlessly to stop him and it's up to you that this won't happen. Drag Shitake with your fingers to dodge the enemies' shots and blasts while you shoot with your special powers. Galaxy Assault brings a new adventure, even more exciting. Be careful with new enemies and make a good use of your three lives to make even higher scores.
Space Sports
If you played Wii Sports but thought that the gimmicky controls should be replaced with gimmicky physics, then this is the game for you. This sci-fi soccer shooting section "Goaly Moley" isn't much to write home about, but win, and you could win a trip to the Champions League Final in London. It's still soccer (so, you know, it's not as if it's the Iowa Tee Ball World Series or anything) but I'm sure there's someone out there who's excited.
Be the champ in Space Sports. Kick, weave, dribble, and speed your way through the Space Sports Universe found in the ZaZa Galaxy. Play Goaly Moley – a soccer challenge where you have to avoid Galactic Moles and score goals against Madu the Monster. Be the champ and win an all expenses paid trip for 2 to the Champions League Final in London May 25th, 2013. Welcome to Space Sports.
The Smiler
Most of our US readers won't be familiar with Alton Towers, so just think of it as "Six Flags Over England." The game ties in with their new horror-themed roller coaster, though I doubt you'll find such a gloomy atmosphere even in the UK. It's even got a line simulator (no, really) that goes through the Disney World-style pre-boarding sequence.
Play the game of The Smiler, the new world first rollercoaster coming to Alton Towers Resort in 2013. Control the ride cars around the twisted metal of the rollercoaster in as perfect line as possible, while navigating through the body and mind marmalising features of the ride. Mastering the intense thrills, twists and turns will give you the ability to upgrade the world first rollercoaster step-by –step. Every point you earn can be used to unlock new ride elements, from additional body wrenching loops to the extra twisted psychological effects of the coaster's central feature, The Marmaliser.
Cubed Rally Redline
The old Micro Machines isometric racers were fan favorites, and Cubed Rally Racer captured a lot of what made them good. The sequel adds better graphics, more interesting tracks, and more vehicles. You can even swap vehicles in the middle of a race. This style of racer isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it should hit the spot for a few racing fans.
Push it to the limit in the follow up to the micro hit Cubed Rally Racer. Just how far can you make it down the track in this endless racer?
- 11 unlockable vehicles
- speed boat vehicle switching action
- drift for points
- randomly generated tracks
- distance and score leaderboards

Networked Media rely on the technological process known as Convergence , thanks to which all kinds of media including text, image, 3D graphics, audio and video produced can be distributed, shared, managed and consumed through various networks, like the Internet, be it via Fiber, WiFi, WiMAX, GPRS, 3G and so on, in a convergent manner.
Networked Media also encapsulates the concept of a decentralized medium of mass communication , in which the audience can actively contribute to the production of the media.
As the Internet has revolutionised the access to multimedia content and enabled collaborative user-generated content (UGC), requirements in this field have huge impact for the Future Internet . At the same time advances in audiovisual technologies such as Digital Cinema and 3D processing increase the level of immersion and the quality of the experience (QoE), but also give rise to innovative applications, notably in gaming technologies and in virtual worlds.
In essence, Networked Media are decentralized media of mass communication, whose value chain features a network capacity, wich can allow co-operative and collaborative practices enabling users to contribute to the production of the new media.
These place new types of traffic demands and constraints on networked platforms, create new requirements for information representation, indexing, filtering, aggregation and networking. They drive demand towards novel media search tools and raise issues of identity management, ownership and trading of virtual digital objects as well as privacy data protection and fair right of use. These environments coupled with their usage rules drive the research towards a 3D Media Internet as a basis of tomorrows networked and collaborative platforms in the residential and professional domains.
The importance for Europe of Networked Electronic Media is undisputed and requires a proactive approach to lead the transition towards the Future Media Internet . Our activities contribute to ensure that Europe plays an important role in the Future Networked Media world, as beyond media technology we are also addressing a major industrial and cultural challenge. Indeed as most content is created and consumed online, key sectors for our future, such as health, education, culture and entertainment will be relying more and more on these new media.

Joris Minne: The Great Room
The Merchant Hotel's Great Room gives a real sense of occasion, but is dining in such opulent|surroundings a slightly intimidating experience?
Is it me or has the north run out of bad restaurants? For the last number of outings I have been blessed and cursed with a straight run of good eating experiences.
Blessed, that is, because it makes the lunch or dinner enjoyable, but cursed because it's starting to look like I'm losing my touch and bad reviews make such great reading.
The latest report is from Posh Central itself, the Great Room in the Merchant Hotel, a place so awarded and well-got that I should have known it would be flawless. Well, almost.
The Great Room in that vast Victorian temple of opulence, all gilded cornices and intricate decoration, gives you the sense of occasion the moment you arrive. Climbing up the grand steps to the revolving doors beyond the portal brings you straight into the comfortable lounge platform — a few stairs beyond and you climb up onto the restaurant floor, a plateau divided into plush velvet booths and banquettes and separate round tables at the back. It's fabulously ostentatious and for the first timers, not a little intimidating. But the friendly floor staff move quickly to reassure the nervous and the timid that everything's going to be alright.
If you had turned right after coming through the revolving doors you would have gone straight into one of Belfast's most comfortable bars. Here you will find the world's best cocktails ... seriously. For less than a tenner you can taste award-winning cocktails that have knocked even the likes of the famous Negresco Hotel in Nice into a cocked hat.
If you have the time and you're trying to impress anyone including a girlfriend, boyfriend, investor or creditor, take them to the Merchant Bar, let them order whatever they want (it won't kill you) and watch as they hang on to your every word.
So is this world class standard transferred to the restaurant and its food and service? Well yes and again, the value for money is hard to beat, particularly if you study the form, watch out for offers and aim for set menus at lunchtime. Tonight, however, we are five and we are stuck with a three-course menu priced at £39.50. My eyes water a bit but I concede it's Mother's Day and there you go — take it or leave it. I avoid restaurants at Valentine's, Christmas and other dates because the restaurants view them as one of the few gold seams in the calendar. To say they get the arm in would be wrong — it's just market forces. But normally, Sunday dinner in the Great Room is £27.50.
The menu is simple, but compelling — there are scallops, duck terrine, chicken liver parfait, goat's cheese tart and other reassuringly straightforward starters. Among the mains, the ribeye rubs shoulders with salmon, pork fillet, cod and other staples.
It may not be exciting but when these dishes appear, there is a distinct air about them, their composition, the plates they come in, everything looks expensive but recognisable. It's like the Fulton's of food. The advisor says the scallops are spot-on, coming as they do with a little meaty jus to deepen the saltiness. The terrine is dark and rough with plenty of fresh duck flavours. At room temperature, its flavours are singing at full tilt. The piccalilli it comes with provides the clear, sparkly high notes.
A pork fillet comes sliced lengthways on a bed of risotto. This is tremendously good.
The pork is cooked beyond pink just as they do in the Basque country with the famous cochon de Bareges and it's moist, juicy and mouth-wateringly rich in taste.
With such fine food it was good to see that old Irish catering habits die hard, because along came the selection of vegetables and the platter of boiled potatoes. It was almost like a just-in-case insurance for diners who might have been thinking about saying something about the pork being undercooked or there not being enough of something. Because no one can argue with a platter of spuds covered in melted butter. No matter what you're having.
Cheese was introduced by a very knowledgeable server. This is territory I feel very safe in and I challenged him a bit. He knew his stuff. There was Crozier blue, St Killian's, smoked Gubbeen and cheddar as well as some French reblochon and another blue. It's a shame they were straight out of the fridge but the arrival of a choice of two dessert wines — have both, he said, I can't decide which one to recommend (a Sauternes and a Spanish moscatel) — showed kindness and willingness.
The Great Room is a must. Belfast should treat it like a prize attraction, as significant as the Ulster Museum.
It serves good food, the people who work there are marvellous at the hospitality and, anyway, where else would you go if there was no Merchant?

Docomo will demonstrate a new set of concept devices at CEATEC 2012
Docomo announced today that its booth at CEATEC JAPAN 2012 will present experiential demonstrations and stage shows introducing a multitude of services and advanced technologies that help people live and work smarter.
The DOCOMO booth will comprise three sections "R&D," "Smartphone X Home electronics" and "New Models." The following are some of the highlights that will be offered in each section.
Hands-free Videophone
DOCOMO will introduce a concept handset, worn like glasses, for hands-free videophone communication. Images taken by multiple, ultra-wide-angle cameras in the glasses-like frame make the other person feel as if they are right in front of the user. The exhibit gives a glimpse of the exciting research taking place at DOCOMO.
Grip UI
This concept user interface enables smartphones to be operated with one hand simply by gripping the phone in different ways. The UI detects where and how much pressure is applied to activate shortcuts for functions and a host of other operations. Thanks to this handy interface, easy operation is always assured, even if the user does not have a free hand to press touchscreen icons.
This amazing concept user interface for tablets makes it possible to scroll a browser screen or turn pages of a book reader simply by eye movement. With ibeam's eye-tracking technology, many applications can be operated even if the user's other hand is busy holding a train strap, carrying bags, etc., making it difficult to operate the device with their fingers.
Shabette Robot
This concept "docomo cloud" service incorporates a small, in-home robot as an intelligent personal assistant that talks with users to provide them with highly personalized information.
Multi-company Demonstration
In a stage show, DOCOMO will demonstrate how people will use their smartphones to connect to various home electronics products. Joining the demonstration in the DOCOMO booth will be electronics manufacturers NEC, Panasonic, Sony, etc. (These companies also will display products incorporating DOCOMO technologies at their booths.) People who collect a stamp at each of the booths will receive a gift.
New smartphone and tablet models
Visitors can see and experience the advanced smartphones and tablets that DOCOMO is releasing this autumn. They also will get a sneak preview of selected models from the upcoming 2012 winter lineup to be announced later.

How much have you heard about forklift training courses? These programmes are very neccessary for those who need to build their career manageing heavy vehicles. As a forklift driver, you have to raise and transfer heavy loads from one place to another in storage spaces, shipping depots, construction sites, warehouses, factories, etc. This may seem effortless, but in truth this task is quite repetitive and calls for a lot of perseverance. Since a forklift may not lift all kinds of heavy objects in a easy manner , you may have to adopt various body positions to make it possible. And in order to do this task with perfection, you have to go through forklift coaching classes. It will instruct you on technical aspects, dangers and the laws involved in this job. When you are done, you will need to qualify safety training and test to obtain the license.
Why forklift learning courses are important?
No doubt, a forklift has to be driven the in a similar manner a car is handled; but, there are some differences. As a forklift operator, you need to focus on vehicle's speed, surface condition, position of the object on ascents and descents, height of the object and others. To get hold of these factors, going through a professional coaching programme is a must. The course will introduce you to all the nitty-gritty matters that have to be taken care of in a forklift job.
Since this task is not risk-free, you need to be aware of all the technicalities. To be precise, if your forklift is not powered as per the load that needs to be lifted, then there is a danger of accident. The vehicle is likely to overturn in this case. Hence before moving, you have to inspect your forklift for security. To ensure security, you also need to examine the condition of the instrument first before using it. Thus, from the point of view of safety and risk prevention also, these courses are significant.
Advantages of forklift training courses
These forklift courses offer both classroom and as well as practical training. No matter you are a novice or an seasoned forklift operator, you can enrol in any of these programmes as per the degree of expertise you need to achieve.
- With the help of these courses, you will get aware about many aspects.
- Ways to cut down risks?
- Methods to tackle different conditions
- Ways to utilise proper devices?

Bruce hails loan duo
Steve Bruce has praised the contribution of Sunderland's on-loan duo Nedum Onuoha and Danny Welbeck.
Last Updated: 08/12/10 1:28pm
Steve Bruce has reiterated his desire to sign Nedum Onuoha and Danny Welbeck permanently, but will be guided by their parent clubs' wishes.
Defender Onuoha is on loan at Sunderland from Manchester City and striker Welbeck is enjoying the season at the Stadium of Light from Manchester United.
Both players have impressed for the Black Cats and manager Bruce has not hidden his desire to keep the duo in his squad on a long-term basis.
Bruce has praised the pair's contribution during their time on Wearside and is remaining patient in his quest to secure a permanent arrangement.
"The one thing I have got to do is be respectful to their two clubs," said Bruce.
"They are two young players and the one thing they have benefited from is playing here, and that was the big thing.
"Especially loan players you bring in who are not yours, you want them to come into the group and they want to make an impact.
"Being here has certainly done that for the pair of them, Nedum with a wonder goal at Chelsea, and Danny Welbeck in the last couple of games in particular has been outstanding.
"His contribution at Chelsea and his contribution against Everton was that of a young player who is full of confidence and who is enjoying football and is enjoying the challenge.
"I have to say they are both great lads as well. They are just the type you would love to bring to your club and make them permanent if you could.
"Whether that's possible, we will see."

Looks pretty good. You might want to include Mimic Vat , because once you lose the splicer the Birthing Pod , your field loses the effect it gave. Vat can not only regain the temporary bonus from the splicer, it also makes more tokens in the meantime.
Elixir of Immortality can help put your cards back in your library if you need to find them again. The +5 life doesn't hurt either.
Good concept, +1

+1 for pods! They are awesome. Makes you not even care what's actually in your hand.
I agree with Epochalyptik on both the Mimic vat and the Elixir. I have not tried incorporating Venser in to my Pod deck yet, mainly because I'm trying to keep it very creature heavy.
But nice work bro!
July 21, 2011 12:05 a.m.
Thank you for the suggestions! I am definately going to try the Elixir of Immortality , I really like the idea it seems like it will really help me out in the drawn out games.
Mimic Vat seems like it would be a little mana heavy and slow down my podding and such but its still an interesting idea.

Senior U.S. Official: We Don't Expect Israel to Strike Iran
A senior American official expressed doubts that Israel will attack Iran, during a meeting with Israeli reporters yesterday.
"I do not think that Israel will attack Iran," the official said. "In all our discussions, the Israelis have emphasized that Iran is an international problem and Israel does not wish it to become an Israeli problem," he added.
The senior U.S. official also cast doubts on Israel's ability to strike at Iran's nuclear facilities.
"It would be significantly more complicated than the [1981] attack against the nuclear reactor in Iraq. That was a single reactor, and in Iran there are approximately 200 nuclear sites. True, some are more important than others, but it is difficult to be certain that all will be destroyed in one strike, and this is understood in Israel. The worst thing would be for you to try and not succeed," he said.
"Israel understands this, and it is committed to the diplomatic process led by the international community versus Iran," the senior official added.
The Iranian question will be at the center of talks between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President George W. Bush next Monday at the White House.
According to the U.S. official, Bush and Olmert will discuss ways of enforcing sanctions against Iran, through the United Nations Security Council.
Olmert and Bush will also discuss the implementation of Security Council Resolution 1701, which brought an end to the confrontation in Lebanon. According to the senior U.S. official, the embargo on the transfer of arms to Hezbollah is still not being fully implemented, "and it is necessary to do more."
He added that the U.S. understands why Israel feels the need to continue intelligence-gathering overflights in Lebanon, but said that Washington is also concerned that these may serve Hezbollah with an excuse for violating the cease-fire.
The two leaders will not discuss the renewal of Syrian-Israeli talks.
"If Syria wants to convince us that she is interested in peace, she knows what she must do," the senior U.S. official said. "We have had so many expectations from Syria that did not manifest themselves that we are tired of the Syrians. The Israeli government does not appear interested in talking with Syria," he added.

text: The Bass Pro Shop Black Friday flyer has the MES 40 Sportsman Elite (w/ window) for $199. I've read all the horror stories about the Gen. 2 which mostly discuss the 2012 models. I am wondering if MB has made improvements in the later Gen 2s. I looked at one in the store today. The model number is 20070315. Looking inside, it appears to have the large oval drip pan like the one I have in my old Gen 1 rather than the drip pan/water pan in earlier Gen 2s. Can anyone shed any light on this before I buy one?

Self-Financed Campaigns
Paying to Play: Who Spent Their Own Bucks on a Campaign?
Now that Ralph Nader's renaissance has sprung the siren-call of a Bloomberg campaign to everyone's lips, it's worth a trip down memory lane — who raided their own piggy banks for a self-financed play for office?
Radar made a list and checked the bank statements twice. Who can forget the 1992 splurge of the granddaddy of self-financing, Ross Perot? But did you know he shelled out $71.2 million for a price of $2.56 per vote?
That's not the most expensive run though — that honor rests on Blair Hull, who ran for US Senate in Illinois in 2004 — against Barack Obama. Oh noes! Mr. Hull sank $28,658,890 million in at a cost of $213.15 per vote. Oh, for context, it wasn't necessarily Obama's brilliance that sunk his campaign. Most think Hull's ship sank after some nasty, terrible details of spousal abuse came out when his divorce papers were unsealed. Turns out you can't buy off public record. . .

In a match the world was watching, sisters Venus and Serena Williams battled each other last week in Wimbledon's semifinals. Venus, 20, beat little sis Serena, 18, this time around, but the hoopla over which Williams sister rules will continue. What do you think, readers? Let us know! Watching the match, we found distinct advantages and disadvantages between them both:
V. Venus' powerful and accurate swing was a huge advantage in defeating her sister. Her lightning-quick serve (reaching speeds of 121 m.p.h.) also was too much for Serena.

Pattaya (Thailand), Oct 1 (IANS) India's engagement in the singles and doubles events at the Asian Table Tennis Championships came to an end on Thursday as the men and women paddlers bowed out after putting up some exciting performances here.
Veteran Achanta Sharath Kamal, Soumyajit Ghosh and G. Sathiyan had exited after reaching the round of 32 in the men's singles, while Harmeet Desai and Sanil Shetty could not last out beyond the round of 64.
Ghosh was the first to be sent packing when Chinese Fang Bo beat him in straight games of 11-9, 11-5, 11-5, 11-6. Sharath followed him in the round of 32 when he lost to Hong Kong's Won Chun Ting 8-11, 11-5, 7-11, 5-11, 4-11 and thereafter Sathiyan as Japanese Yuya Oshima won 11-7, 11-8, 11-6, 11-13, 11-6
In the earlier round, Ghosh beat Thailand's Chanakam Udomsilp 4-0, Sharath downed Qatar's Fahed Almughanne 13-11, 7-11, 11-8, 11-5, 8-11, 11-4 with a bit of struggle and Sathiyan defeated Ashraf Muhamad Haiqal 4-1 (11-6,13-11,11-3,7-11,11-3) in his second encounter against the Malaysian.
However, Sanil Shetty went down 1-11, 10-12, 9-11, 9-11 to Hong Kong's Ho Kwan Kit and South Korean Kim Minhyeok accounted for Harmeet Desai 6-11, 11-8, 8-11, 12-10, 11-6, 11-2 in a tough duel in the round of 64.
There was a glimmer of hope for the Indian men's doubles pair of Ghosh and Desai when they received a walkover from Ma Long and Zhang Jike in the pre-quarterfinals after the top Chinese pair pulled out. But in the quarter-finals, the Indian duo found it tough against the Japanese pair of Masataka Morizono and Yuya Oshima as the latter won 3-1 (11-3, 11-5, 10-12, 12-10) to stop Indian progress.
They had earlier beaten the Myanmar's Hein Zin Min and San Kyaw 11-0, 11-4, 11-9 in the first round and then defeated Saudi pair of Ali Alkhadrawi and Bu Shulaybi 12-10, 11-5, 10-12, 11-5. The Saudi juniors had reasonably well at the India Open in Indore to stop the Indians from a complete sweep of medals, just a week before the Pattaya championships.
The other Indian pair of Sathiyan and Shetty failed to cross the pre-quarterfinal hurdle as they could not sustain the 0-3 (11-8, 14-12, 11-3) onslaught by Japan's Koki Niwa and Maharu Yoshimura. Earlier, the Indian beat Turkmenistan's Rashid Ahmedov and Denis Kuzmenko 11-0, 11-0, 11-0 and followed it up with a win over another Saudi pair of Abdulaziz Al-Abbad and Naif Al-Jadai 13-11, 11-6, 11-7 to enter the pre-quarters.
Meanwhile, the women's pair of Mouma Das and K. Shamini, despite getting a walkover from top Chinese pair of Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen in the round of 32, lost to the North Korean pair of Kim Song I and Ri Myong Sun 9-11, 5-11, 8-11 in the pre-quarterfinals. The Indians won their first round against the Kazakh pair of Kamila Mashanloeva and Elina Modubashova 3-0.
But both Manika Batra and Ankita Das, who got a first-round bye and won against Indonesia's Lilis Indriani and Nilasari Ceria Jusma 3-1 in the next, went down to the South Koreans Lee Zion and Yang Haeun 2-11, 7-11, 3-11 to bring an end to the ordeal.
In the mixed doubles, the pair of Ghosh and Mouma had reached the round of 16 but lost to Japanese Misako Wakamiya and Yuva Oshima 4-11, 11-13, 4-11 after winning their earlier rounds 3-0 against two Kazakh pairs. First they beat Azamat Ergeshov and Elina Modubashova 11-7, 11-3, 11-9 and then blanked out Denis Zholudev and Yulia Gats 11-4, 11-8, 11-9.
The pair of Shetty and Manika beat Macau's Ma Cho and Chang Hoi Wa 11-3, 11-6, 11-7 in the first round but failed against Singapore's Yang Zi and Yu Mengyu as the latter won 11-9, 11-2, 11-5.

I keep getting e-mails from binkybunny telling me about some thread someone has posted on binkybunny. I got like twenty e-mails yesterday. It is just a little bit of a nusance because I think I got a response from someone I e-mailed earlier but it is just notifying me of a new thread that has been made.
Has this happened to anyone else? I already check binkybunny on a regular basis so I don't think I need e-mails telling me when a new thread has been made.
What should I do about it?
The only thing I think it might be is the subscription option. Go to "My Forum Settings" then open the "My Preferences" tab. See if the "Subscribe to topics" box is checked or not.

The sharp-shooting Pirates start strong then pull away.
By BOB PUTNAM
Published January 26, 2008
GULFPORT - On one play, Boca Ciega hit a 3-pointer from the right wing, and on the next, a jumper from the left side. The shots came in from every angle, and they were all going in - or so they seemed.
"I was hoping we would knock down some shots early, and that's what we did," Pirates coach Will White said.
Sharp shooting in the first half helped Boca Ciega 21-4 jump out to an early lead in a 58-37 win over Clearwater in the Pinellas County Athletic Conference championship game.
In the first half, Pirates guard Latavia Dempsey found a rhythm, scoring 14, including four 3-pointers.
"We have a lot of options with scorers, which is nice," White said. "Latavia just happened to be hot from the start."
The Tornadoes (20-5), playing without guard Keona Dixon (sprained ankle), struggled on offense, scoring in single digits as a team in each of the first three quarters.
"There's no question not having Keona hurt us," Clearwater coach Tom Shaneyfelt said. "She's right up there in scoring and assists and rebounds for us. But I'd rather have her ready for districts."
The Pirates continued to put it on in the second half. Dempsey led Boca Ciega with 18 points, followed by Tamara Taylor with 14 and Tory Stephens with 13.
"I hope this is the start of something for us we can carry on to districts," White said.
Alexis Alvarez and J'Beria Davis each had eight points for the Tornadoes.

Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
If you started a 90 day divorce but have not signed the final documents a year and a half ago what will happen? Is it final in two years regardless ??
Asked on 8/14/13, 6:48 am
1 Answer from Attorneys
John Davidson Law Office of John A. Davidson
Nothing. The consents can be signed after 90 days. If more than 2 years passes the court may dismiss the complaint for lack of action. If 2 years separation was one of the grounds then other paper work needs to be filed to finalize the divorce.

About Pottery Hollow
At Pottery Hollow, kids and adults alike find inspiration to create ceramic works of art. Each session stems from a fanciful story about a potter in need of an apprentice to help him and his fairy friends adorn ceramic mugs, platters, and knickknacks with colorful paint. Guests enter the potter's enchanted hollow—complete with twisted tree trunks and brightly colored chairs—to work on the unpainted pieces stored deep beneath the forest. While guests create their masterpieces, staffers keep them supplied with paints and brushes and take finished pieces to be baked in the kiln.
In addition to walk-in sessions, Pottery Hollow's three locations host parties and events such as mommy-and-me sessions, bridal showers, and corporate events. And on Friday nights until 9 p.m., ladies can create beautiful works of art while sipping on their favorite BYOB drinks. Staffers also craft custom pieces in one to two weeks, which can be given as gifts, kept as future heirlooms, or offered as sacrifices to the home-decor gods.

*My 5 words of fame* Asbury Park Press on - GAdv opening day
"Great Adventure's SkyScreamer, an extreme swing ride, will twirl its passengers upward to its 24-story pinnacle and spin them up to 40 miles per hour, said Paul Gould, director of sales and marketing for Six Flags Jackson-based parks.
"Originally, we were going to put in a 15-story (high) one," said Gould. "(But) we had to put in a bigger one."
Kyle Taggart, 23, of Deptford in Gloucester County, studied SkyScreamer's red, yellow, orange and green tower, then declared: "I'm excited to ride it.""
I said a bunch of things to the reporter, but apparently she only took 5 words from it haha. She also talked to my friend for like 5-10 minutes but didn't use any of what she took from him. She was very nice though, and she probly talked to 50 people at least that day.
I mentioned that they were going to originally build something smaller and said, " dude! this is great adventure! one of the larger Six Flags parks! you gotta represent!" That's where this little piece really started off haha.
Like I said in the other thread though, (Jen) was right, the manager did confirm the bumper cars will be in the wide open conrete area behind and to the left of the ferris wheel (as viewed from the front of it), the elephant ride is apprently going under and to the right of the StarScreamer, and the music themed scrambleresque ride will be where Choas was.
I asked the guy if he remembered chaos and he said he didn't get to ride it, he came in the year after it was removed....dude's lucky....I almost flipped out because of how much I loved chaos! haha. I think I scared em off after my facial expressions from that bit of our conversation.
He also said the new slide will be where the volley ball courts are located, and that all the rides (not sure about the slide) will be opening the 25th of May or the week after.

I feel like, if you aren't conscientious about what (your children) watch, you're just throwing your kids to the wolves; you're just allowing the whole entire world to influence your kids' values. —Marci Lloyd
CEDAR HILLS — It's like any other weeknight for the Lloyd family. Seventeen-year-old Jackson sits on the couch in the family room watching his favorite show via his Netflix account. Thirteen-year-old Slater listens to music on his iPod while doing homework at the table. And their mother, Marci, sends an email from the laptop next to him.
And though Marci Lloyd's oldest isn't in the room with her — he's most likely watching YouTube videos with roommates, while attending Brigham Young University — she doesn't worry about the media her boys are consuming.
Because of media controls she and her husband, Dan, have implemented in their home, and the education on the potential dangers of media — specifically of streaming media — they have provided, the Lloyds have worked to protect and prepare their children to make wise decisions about what they watch, especially when no controls are in place.
As technology and personal devices continue to become more advanced, the content available for access at any time or place increases. On YouTube alone more than 4 billion hours of video are watched every month, with 72 hours of video uploaded to the site every minute. From music videos to do-it-yourself craft tutorials to television clips, YouTube has it all — and more.
For those more interested in streaming full-length movies and television shows on demand, Netflix is a popular option, along with Hulu, Amazon Prime, Vimeo and many others. With more than 27 million subscribers for its streaming service just in the U.S., Netflix's ever-growing library continues to feed consumers what they want, right when they want it. As Netflix continues to gather in-depth data on people's watching habits, the world may soon have shows tailored specifically to what each viewer wants.
Kids can now view media just as easily at school on a friend's phone as at home surfing the Web with a parent behind one shoulder. Though TV ratings and V-chip technology have been around since the mid-1990s, such controls are, in many ways, ineffectual in today's world of always available streamed media.
Because of the free and easy-to-access content now available on a variety of devices, families must actively deal with the issue of what is appropriate for children.
"I feel like, if you aren't conscientious about what (your children) watch, you're just throwing your kids to the wolves; you're just allowing the whole entire world to influence your kids' values," Lloyd said. "We just don't want the Internet in our kids' hands with the whole world around but us."
With so much liberty in browsing the World Wide Web from almost any device — phone, tablet, computer, television, game console — it isn't possible to control everything a child or teen sees, as the Lloyds well know.
However, effective tools are available now to help parents manage media. In addition to these external mechanisms, a family can implement greater awareness and education to help children understand how to make decisions surrounding media usage and information finding. Then, when they are out in the real world, they will have it within themselves to make wise choices.
The possibilities — and dangers — of streaming media
Even though her children are still young, Heather King said it's "freaky" how easy and natural it is for them to keep up with technology and media, which is why she believes it is more and more vital for media in today's world to have boundaries.
"We're always drawn to the train wreck, and right now it is the porn that is such a big deal, and these kids are so inundated," said King, a writer and founder of the blog The Extraordinary Ordinary. "Kids are vulnerable because they're kids."
However, King doesn't just worry about the scary place the world is becoming with the constant deluge of pornography and violence in readily available media. She's also concerned about "the overall inability for human interaction to be authentic," she said.
With the capability most of us have now to simply sit in bed with headphones and catch up on missed episodes of shows — in contrast to when King would gather with friends in one room to watch "Friends" when it first aired every Thursday night — it takes real effort to make authentic connections with others, King said.
"The old belief — that I'm sure my kids will probably hate — is moderation in everything," she said. "There's nothing in moderation today. It's rapid-fire, there's overstimulation, there's so many options to keep yourself entertained. ... We can't just sit in the quiet and be."
King isn't the only mother who wants her children to become responsible, healthy adults who aren't addicted to constant entertainment that can erode their sense of right and wrong. But having that goal firmly in mind doesn't automatically make it easier to control the barrage of media in the home.
Hydra, the many-headed beast
One mother from Highland, Utah, likens the battle of staying in control of media in the home to dealing with a hydra — once you cut off one head, three more grow in its place.
"That's what it's like being a parent today — you finally feel like you have the computer under control, and then suddenly you can get the Internet on phones and the television and everything else, and it's so difficult to keep tabs on it all," Julie Matern said.
As parents of six children ranging from ages 10 to 24, Matern and her husband have made sure to have rules about media consumption and screen time in their home for years, and all computer and television screens are kept in the main area of the house.
"I think the best control is the kids. We've taught them what to do when something does come up that they shouldn't see. ... You either slam the lid or turn off the power button," Matern said. "But slamming the lid is our favorite."
Of the media controls the Materns use, Google Safe Search comes in at the level of "strict," though they still have to make sure to check that it's on before the kids do any image searches. YouTube is only used with permission and in the area of the house where everyone can see it.
"If you think about it, the younger the kids are exposed to that stuff, and the less mature they are when exposed — they will start experimenting," Matern said. "We are in such a sex-saturated society. ... We need to protect their innocence, and when they are mature enough we have to give them enough information and let them make their own choices."
Psychologist and author Eileen Kennedy-Moore agrees, believing that the issue often comes down to education about media consumption, because children will be faced with decisions outside of parents' control more often than not.
"Technology controls are never perfect, and determined tweens or teens can often find ways to get around parental blocks, so it's important to educate children about what to do if they run across inappropriate content — close the screen and tell Mom or Dad," she said.
Kennedy-Moore has a private practice in Princeton, N.J., where her work with families has helped her in writing several books, including "Smart Parenting for Smart Kids." She believes the most fundamental part of controlling media in the home is keeping communication with children always open.
"You have to have the conversation about the issues; you have to raise the issues and help them to think through what they're going to do," Kennedy-Moore said. "Talking about what kinds of inappropriate things there are out there and why they are inappropriate — you have to talk about your values."
Aside from teaching younger children to "slam the lid" when something inappropriate comes on the screen, parents need to engage children, particularly older ones, in serious dialogue about why viewing certain things can be so damaging, Kennedy-Moore advised. No matter the locks and passwords and screen-time limits, teens are going to be able to find a way to see what they are curious about and will need to make the final decision for themselves.
"Our teens, the fact is that you can never protect them completely," Kennedy-Moore said. "What you can do is try to foster good values and judgment."
Streaming control guide
There are numerous controls parents can use in their homes, for all kinds of devices. With online streaming sites such as YouTube and even with Google searches, basic safety settings are available to keep inappropriate content from coming up when kids are searching on the Web.
Though Lloyd's boys love it, and she wants them to be able to search and watch things that interest them, giving them free rein to use a site like YouTube just opens the door to too many risks, she said.
Another control Lloyd takes advantage of in her home is the capability of making personal profiles on Netflix for each person in the family so that everything is set at a level of PG-13 and below.Comment on this story
All it takes to bring an avalanche of unhealthy content down on anyone is for a word to be misspelled in a search bar, and the effects can only be negative for still-developing minds, a result the Lloyds want to avoid at any cost. However, their children still get to choose what they watch and expose themselves to, within boundaries.
"It's such a fine line — it's a fine line between wanting to keep your kids safe and wanting them to make their own choices," Lloyd said. "We want them to fill their lives with good things, to help them kind of structure their own value system as a teenager, and not make decisions now that they will have regrets about later. It's something we actually talk about a lot with our kids."

Softener ちょっと
1) こい! koi
2) あのう、すみません、たいへん恐れいれますが、ちょっとこちらへいらっしゃってくださいませんでしょうか?
both mean 'come here' but #2 is much more polite being cushioned by many soft, indirect words. One of these words is ちょっと.
ちょっと means 'little' or 'small amount' but it is often used to soften an otherwise painful 'no' or 'your request is impossible; live with it'
chotto muzukashi desu ga.
That's a little difficult. (this may be said when the request is impossible)
chotto dekinai desu.
It can't be done.
chotto wakaranai desu.
I'm not really sure.
I have been told the sound 'chotto' is a bad word in Korean. If that is the case, chotto may not be that soft of a word...

More and more data are surfacing to suggest that while we aren't seeing the sort of explosion of niche media consumption at the scale expected in Anderson's Long Tail, we are seeing a lessening of the power curve in a comparison between "old" and "new" media experiences.
The reasoning seems to fit with what people expect, but just to re-iterate the three major (imagined) factors):
Part of this outcome is the shift to many-to-many media—many users able to access many works (a broad catalog of music). The catalog of available works increases, effectively surfacing a "tail" of media that previously was not easily seen.
Part of this outcome is a "relaxation" in the consumer-facing model—from product to service, if you will. The catalog of accessible works increases, as a function of "lower transaction costs" (subscription and free services lowering the effective cost of trying out new things).
Part of this outcome is the introduction and accessibility of new mavens and connectors (to employ Gladwellian terms). The catalog of plausibly accessible works increases given the introduction of new technologies and social actors able to introduce us to new stuff—randomly, filtered collaboratively, ideologically, or automagically.
My personal opinion would be that there will always be a head-heavy nature of experience distributions, not because of market control but simply because (1) culture is something we share (i.e., have in common and transfer among each other) and (2) some creative works are simply by their nature general in their appeal (in the same way that khaki pants go with about any shirt you wear).

Hani Mansour, Ph.D., is Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Colorado Denver. He received his degree in economics from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 2009. Dr. Mansour's areas of interest are in labor, development, and health economics. His recent research focuses on the determinants of infant health, marriage markets, and on the relationship between technological innovation and unemployment duration. Working with Daniel Rees, Ph.D. (University of Colorado Denver), he explores the impact of in utero exposure to armed conflict on birth weight, and finds that such exposure in the early stages of pregnancy increases the probability of having a low birth-weight-infant. In a recent study Dr. Mansour and co-author Peter Kuhn, Ph.D. (University of California at Santa Barbara) document that young unemployed workers looking for jobs online are able to reduce their unemployment durations by as much as 25%. This is the first study to find that the Internet is an effective job search method. Two of his recent studies are forthcoming in the Journal of Labor Economics and the Journal of Development Economics.

Epithet on America's tombstone: "I seemed like a good idea at the time"
Via Newsweek:
In the wake of the attacks in Brussels, some U.S. politicians are already calling for a ban of refugees and immigrants from countries in which the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) controls territory.
Rather than justifying a refugee ban, this latest attack should act as a reminder why the United States should take the lead on welcoming those fleeing ISIS. Accepting refugees is clearly important from a humanitarian standpoint, but it is also good for America's national security.
While there is no evidence that any Syrians were involved in the Brussels attack, we know that the threat from refugees to the United States is entirely overblown. Since 1980, when the U.S. began its modern refugee program, the U.S. has accepted almost 3 million refugees, including hundreds of thousands from the Middle East, and not one has successfully carried out an act of so-called terrorism in the United States.

40 years on, Vietnam troop withdrawal remembered
george of the jungle goshen, UTMarch 29, 2013 5:18 p.m.
The news was listened to or watched daily by every one. TV was free and the radio was listen every where. You heard the death count. You knew how many people died everyday. Today, it cost money for TV and and the I Pod has the music that I want to hear. Pres. Bush stopped the news from telling the death count. The benefits in the two wars for the first time in history has excluded. Now they have benefits that exclude all the other wars. I wish them the best when they come home, but should not be any different than any one else who served. All for one and one for all. [not]

Issue 3 Weather Summer 2001
Let There Be Rain: An Interview with William Cotton
Anna Grace and William Cotton
In 1946, the long, colorful history of unscientific rainmaking came to an end with the first successful experiment to induce a cloud to rain. The promise of cloud seeding was never fulfilled on a large scale, however, and funding for experiments in the US has dried up. Dr. William Cotton, currently a professor at the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University, conducted research in the 70s on cloud seeding. Anna Grace talked to him over the phone about the physics and the potential future of cloud seeding.
William Cotton is a professor at the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University.

CHACARINA, Bolivia, Sept 24 (AFP) Sep 24, 2011
Indigenous protesters in Bolivia's Amazon basin region forced a cabinet minister to join a march Saturday and break through a police blockade separating them from their northeastern rivals.
Minority indigenous people from the poor South American country's steamy lowlands are angered by construction of a highway they fear will bring migrants into the Amazon jungle region.
They forced Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca to march with them past riot officers into an area where rival Andean highland indigenous people had settled.
"They made me march. They made me do it," the country's top diplomat, visibly tired, told local media.
Protest leader Adolfo Chavez told local radio that native women were clutching Choquehuanca's arms and had forced him to join the march.
The protesters headed toward Yucumo, 10 kilometers (six miles) from the blockade near Chacarina -- another town 323 kilometers (200 miles) northeast of the capital La Paz -- where highland indigenous people who support Morales have settled.
Bolivia is South America's only mostly indigenous nation. Socialist President Evo Morales is an indigenous leader himself, and favors the road project.
Choquehuanca had been attempting to mediate between the groups, which he has said could engage in ethnic slaughter on the scale of Rwanda's bloody 1994 genocide between Hutus and Tutsis.
In a tussle with the demonstrators, police Colonel Alex Machaca was wounded in the lip by an arrow and was rushed out in an ambulance, a senior government official said.
The planned highway would run through an Amazon forest natural reserve where natives have lived largely in isolation for centuries.
Amazon natives fear that landless Andean Quechua and Aymara people -- Bolivia's main indigenous groups -- will flood into the area and colonize the region.
Simeon Jaliri, a leader of the confederation of farm workers representing Quechua and Aymara people -- said they had declared a state of emergency after what happened to Choquehuanca.
"We are prepared to mobilize," he warned.
Protesters said the demonstrators were carrying spears and arrows to hunt for food during their protest march -- which they say will take them to La Paz -- and to protect the demonstrators.All rights reserved. © 2005 Agence France-Presse.

As part of our continuing outreach efforts aimed at independent filmmakers, for the 19th consecutive year the DGA was a sponsor of Film Independent's Los Angeles Film Festival (LAFF).
On June 14, the Guild hosted a luncheon for directors with films that were presented at LAFF. Director Patricia Cardoso (Meddling Mom, Lies in Plain Sight, Real Women Have Curves) explained how easy it is for independent filmmakers to work with the DGA and spoke about the advantages of working with an experienced directorial team to keep projects at ‑ or under ‑ budget.
On June 16, the annual DGA-sponsored LAFF Coffee Talk: Directors panel featured Director Shane Black (Iron Man 3, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) who discussed the state of the industry, his career and how he moved from screenwriting into the director's chair, in a conversation moderated by film critic/Film Independent at LACMA Curator Elvis Mitchell.
From June 13-23, LAFF sought to connect the movie-loving public to critically acclaimed filmmakers, film industry professionals, and emerging talent in the heart of Los Angeles. Widely recognized as a world-class event, this year's festival screened nearly 200 feature films, shorts and music videos, representing more than 40 countries. LAFF also featured gala premieres, panels and seminars, short film programs, music video showcases, free outdoor screenings, live musical performances, and unique signature events.
