text: Nintendo is probably going to make a Super Smash Bros. 4, since Brawl was such a big hit. It is probably going to have an even bigger character selction, more items, more levels, more special features, but should stay on the Wii.What do you think should be added from Brawl to get SSB4. Personaly, I think more non-Nintendo characters should be added. Like Mega Man or Captain America. But also some Nintendo characters. Like maybe Knuckle Joe, because he was just that good as an Assist Trophy. Maybe even more Pokemon like change the Pokemon Trainer up. Like make him the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum trainer and give him Piplup, Grotle, and Infernape. Another character from Metroid, maybe the Hunters. Some more levels like one from Animal Crossing City Folk where you go from the City to the Town. A Metriod Prime Corruption level. Maybe a Phazon Field in the background. Where sometimes Ridley comes to cause havoc or Dark Samus, or maybe even the Hunters. A new Mario Kart level. The Reverse World in Pokemon Platinum. Also, new items. Please ideas. Over:thumbsup:

Oh, Kanye West. Kanye's temper has become legendary in the past two years, not least because there's been documented evidence of him going ballistic on anything and everything that pisses him off. And unfortunately for Radio DJs Sway and Charlemagne, what they thought was a routine radio interview turned into Kanye swearing and screaming at them.
Kanye was in town performing at University Park, Pennsylvania, and the interviewers had called Kanye 'narcissistic' and 'egotistical' on air. I guess I have to admire their gall for calling Kanye that, knowing what he's like, but they're not wrong. Kanye is absolutely narcissistic and egotistical. Honestly, that's the reason he's so entertaining. However, anyone who gets on his bad side might not see it that way.
Although I'm surprised that Kanye even knew what narcissistic and egotistical meant, he proceeded to reply to the DJ's comments by saying, "If I go to a radio interview, SHUT THE F*** UP!!! … Diss me, talk sh*t. What the f*** did you do? What have you done with your motherf**kin' life, Charlemagne? Sway?"
As much as I love to dump on Kanye and his anger management issues, the radio DJs were at fault here. When you interview someone, it's only good manners not to diss them, especially when the interview is live. Sure, Kanye could have handled it better, but he had every right to be angry and upset. There are a lot of people who are jealous of Kanye, who feel he's not talented enough or nice enough to deserve his success – but, even then, dissing someone is never appropriate, especially when you do it right to his or her face.
What do you think about Kanye's newest meltdown? Was this one justified?

The University Senate Executive Committee preliminarily approved a series of policy recommendations on sexual misconduct yesterday.
The recommendations, compiled by the senate's Sexual Harassment Task Force, include a mandate that all faculty, staff and students participate in a sexual misconduct education and training program. On Oct. 10, the report will go to the full senate for a final vote.
"I think that all the stakeholders will have a chance to weigh in," said Vincent Novara, senate chairman and member of the task force.
In July 2012, the task force was charged with conducting a thorough review of the university's sexual harassment policies. Then, in January, committee members added to their deliberations a student proposal to mandate sexual assault education.
The report recommended a multilayered misconduct training operation to begin in the spring, following a pilot program planned for this semester. Though the pilot is still awaiting approval by the university's Institutional Review Board, it could be in full swing in about a month, said Fatima Burns, coordinator of the University Health Center's CARE to Stop Violence office.
Students enrolled in the pilot program would be randomly selected for one of four sections: one group that fills out a questionnaire, one that attends a presentation and two that participate in different online modules.
After the task force issued its policy recommendations to university President Wallace Loh earlier this year, Loh directed the university's legal office to draft revised sexual misconduct policies. Those were adapted in the interim, pending senate action on the task force's report at the Oct. 10 meeting.
Cynthia Hale, the task force chair, said the federal Violence Against Women Act reauthorization in March
ultimately made mandated training a requirement for the university.
The report also calls for a "multidimensional" communication effort to raise awareness, the integration of at least 21 university divisions and departments in the rollout of new policies and the establishment of a Title IX compliance office with a full-time coordinator to handle complaints.
Several members of the committee voiced concerns about policy implementation.
Josh Ratner, an undergraduate senator on the committee, said he worried online training could be ineffective.
Hale said that while she initially did not see the Internet as an "appealing option," she decided it was practical after reviewing research of other institutions, such as the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
Other senators had privacy concerns. The task force suggested creating a database tracking documented instances of sexual misconduct.
Although the database would leave out names, senate parliamentarian Ken Holum worried it would inevitably compromise privacy.
Another committee member, staff senator Julie Parsons, said there was an informational gap in students' minds that educational outreach would need to fill.
"There's a lot of misunderstanding among students about what is considered sexual assault, what is considered rape," said Parsons, a Mental Health Services employee. "Some people might be shocked that they had raped someone because they didn't realize they had to have consent and the person was drunk — that kind of thing."
The education outreach could extend to everyone in the campus community, Hale said, but it would be a challenge.
Though the administration, not the senate, will handle implementation, Novara said ideas for a smoother policy introduction would likely come out of the Oct. 10 full-senate meeting.
Sexual misconduct has shifted swiftly into the public eye over the past few years, as the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Education, in particular, have engaged the issue.
"As we were working, the ground was continually shifting," Hale said.
The task force's report said integration of the education mandate and other recommendations should start in the spring. Burns said the CARE to Stop Violence program would be ready to take on an expanded role.
"It's a good idea for students to be aware of their options and their resources on campus," Burns said. "We are preparing to be ready full-force when the mandate comes out."

Ah, the pendant, center of attention, worn close to the heart. We think of pendant necklaces as fine accessories, with their glints of precious metals, sparkles of gems and stones. Historically, however, pendant necklaces were worn to express identity and status. In some instances, they were thought to possess protective or spiritual attributes. The thought of such powers, combined with the variety of beautiful designs available today, makes a pendant a truly magical gift – even for yourself.

Wow - I googled Corrine and still don't remember her. Was she really that bad?
Wow - I googled Corrine and still don't remember her. Was she really that bad?
She wasn't awful throughout the season, really. But that FTC definitely marked her worst moment imo.
How annoying is Artis? I'll be glad when he finally goes home. He has no chance of winning.
I think Jeff and Carter made a big mistake tonight. Should have went with the 6. Too early for what they tried to pull.
"All right, my turn." -Zach, BB16
I have really liked Malcolm and Denise from the start. We really got to know them since they were at TC each and every week. Even when they were separated for a time I hoped they would realign when the merge happened. Malcolm is great at challenges and still seems like a really nice guy. Denise - what can I say about her? She is not only likeable, but such a strong woman who is amazing at challenges even though she is tiny and older than some of the younger ones. Denise for winning immunity. She puts some of them to shame. I am thinking Abi who each week Jeff would ask, "you are sitting this one out again Abi?" She finally had to play this week. I could never figure out her strategy for doing that. She was the one that I remember seeing at the BB After Party. She wasn't allowed to say anything, but now seeing her I would guess she would not get that far. Or maybe someone would take her because they would know she would not get votes. I still could not understand her treatment of RC even after she gave her explanation. I did feel bad for RC because I have never seen her do anything wrong that would have people to want her gone - other than she and Skupin were close and like you mentioned she upset Abi.
I like Penner as well and I really think the only reason they want him gone is because he has played twice before. When they bring players back even if his last time was because of a medical emergency these players will always be a target.
I haven't commented in awhile so trying to catch up with everything. I would just like to send my thoughts and prayers out to all those affected by Storm Sandy. I live on the east coast and our state was hit badly along the shoreline. After last year's freaky snowstorm that left our area of the state looking as if a bomb had gone off, no power for eight days, no way to get out and even if we could nothing was open I was extremely worried. Thankfully, we only lost power for 1 1/2 days this time, as I am not near the shore, but I know all too well what all of you that were in the path are going thru.
Forgot to add that I agree with all of you in regards to Artis. He is as strange to me as Abi.
Sorry, Jaceegirl, Penner is happily married...no showmance for us this time.
And given Lisa's religious beliefs I kind of doubt she'd do much more than flirt a little, since her divorce was so recent.
She will have to find another religious zealot and actually "fall in love." That may be a tall order. I don't know any Christians, never have. Amazing considering there are so many out there.

can the pad slide out of the case sideways when closed ?
case md456ll-a ipad md510ll-a
- Asked by Tom G
- Asked about: iPad Smart Case - Polyurethane
1 Answer from the Community
No. The Smart Case is made specifically for the iPad, so it snaps into the case and will not fall out, even if turned upside down and shaken with the cover open. It is very secure and takes a little bit of effort to get the iPad in. This is the only case I have seen that totally covers the iPad back, front and edges, and protects the edges. It has cutouts for the back camera, power cord, earphone jack and slide switch and little "bumpouts" for the on/off button and volume button. Once you put the iPad in the case, it is not easy to get back out, but this is a good thing in my opinion. This is the only case I will use that is meant to protect the iPad itself, not just carry it. Hope this helps.

Alright but flawed
Don't like how you die when your snake makes itself curve into the wall and that if you miss an egg you lose. Needs work.

Nice game, I like it more than the original.

A nice game and a good concept on snake
But I think the movement would be better served with keyboard controls, the mouse isn't resposive enough for fast changing a lot of the time.

We all know that Nawazuddin Siddiqui is a very talented actor and we just assume off that he should only be seen in small films which has strong roles for him, well we all are wrong. The much-acclaimed actor of 'Gangs of Wasseypur' has now been signed on by Sajid Nadiadwala for his upcoming film, 'Kick' which also stars Salman Khan.
While there are no details out about the kind of role the talented actor has bagged, we wonder whether it was the script or the chance of working with Salman or both that made Nawauddin sign the dotted lines. But whatever be his reasons, we cannot wait to see the two together on screen.

Early Literacy Tip: Singing the alphabet song is one way to introduce children to letters. Part of letter knowledge, one of the early literacy skills that helps children be ready to read in school, is knowing the names of letters. At first your child may not relate the letters they sing to the written letter. That's okay; this is a first step.
First, we sang the alphabet song to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
Now we sang it again to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb." The letters come out in a different rhythm. Children are less likely to lump l, m, n and o together.

Good news, sort of, Ardi Rizal, the Indonesian toddler that came to infamy after videos and photos of him smoking surfaced earlier last month is reportedly well on his way to quitting.
The toddler, who smoked around 40 cigarettes a day, is now down to 15 cigarettes a day thanks to play-based therapy.
Officials are reportedly
offering the boy's family a car if he quits.
Rizal might not be the only Indonesian child with a smoking habit, according to some studies some 3% of that country's children smoke.

When the grocery store said it might not pay a basketball fan the money he earned from a halftime competition, Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio went to work on Twitter.
If the Occupy movement stands for any one thing, it's making sure corporations can't walk all over the little guy. Apparently, that even extends to a grocery store not wanting to pay someone who won a halftime contest at a college basketball game.
University of Kentucky freshman Vincent Swope was watching his Wildcats dominate South Carolina when he heard his name over the intercom. Make a half-court shot, he was told, and Kroger will give you $10,000. Amazingly, he nailed it.
But as Swope celebrated, a contest organizer approached him to say his foot was over the line, so Kroger might not pay.
That's when Matt Jones, host of the popular podcast Kentucky Sports Radio, stepped in.
"Kroger is threatening to not give [Swope] his $10,000 because they say his toe was on the half-court line. If that happens, we riot," Jones tweeted to his 37,000 followers.
He followed it up by tweeting: "everyone do one tweet that says #OccupyKroger and the message will be sent."
The tag #occupykroger spiked to almost a thousand mentions in a few minutes. The movement even spread to a few fans in Ashland, KY, who tweeted a picture of themselves "Occupying" their local Kroger.
And it worked. Only 12 minutes later, Jones tweeted that he "just got call from an official Kroger spokesman who says they WILL pay."
For his part, Swope tweeted that he's scheduled to call Kroger today to claim the money.

Goldenrod City
Welcome to Goldenrod, a sprawling metropolis and Johto's economic capital. Sister city to Saffron in Kanto, Goldenrod boasts a wide variety of local attractions, including a Pokémon Gym, Bike Shop, Game Corner, Radio Tower, and Department Store. With so much going on, it's easy to get distracted and overlook any shady events. But with a Team Rocket grunt keeping tabs on the Radio Tower, expect to return here to save the city from the Rockets' underhanded schemes.
Bike Shop
The Bike Shop has relocated to the city's southeast neighborhood from Cerulean City in Kanto, but business doesn't seem to be doing very well. The owner has an idea: since you're traveling so much, he'll loan you a bicycle, the advertising will increase interest, and business will pick up. Riding the bike is faster than traveling on foot (even with the Running Shoes), and he gains new customers - everybody's happy! The only downside is that your partner Pokémon can't keep up with you on the bike, and will automatically return to its Poké Ball when you climb onto it.
Game Corner
At Goldenrod Game Corner, you can win coins by playing the new Voltorb Flip game. Speak to Mr Game behind the table to receive the Coin Case. The Voltorb Flip game is exclusive to non-Japanese versions of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, replacing the slot machines present in the original versions. The game features a five-by-five grid of tiles, underneath of which are hidden numbers (which multiply the player's score when flipped) and Voltorb (which Selfdestruct and cause the player to lose all points). You can easily figure out where the Voltorb are located by using the clues provided: the number of Voltorb in each row and column are noted at the side of the screen. If you can find all of the 2× and 3× multipliers, the game will advance to harder levels. Winning at this game, as all others, will earn the player Coins, which can be traded for prizes.
|List of Prizes
Bill's house
Bill, the inventor of the Pokémon PC Storage system, lives on the city's western coast with his mother and sister. He is currently away on business in Ecruteak City, but his sister will give you his phone number. This is a useful way to check how many Pokémon that you have stored in the current box. After meeting him in Ecruteak, he returns home to Goldenrod. Stop by his house afterwards and he will give you a rare Pokémon.
Goldenrod Underground
The Goldenrod Tunnel is a tunnel stretching north-south under the western part of the city, with a small access hallway leading to the basement of the Department Store. During the week, the kiosks rotate between a salon, herbalist, and discount item shop.
- The northern shop is only open on Monday mornings, 4am - 10am. This merchant deals in valuable items; while having no use themselves, they can be resold elsewhere for decent profit.
- The Pokémon Salon, the center shop, is operated by two brothers. Their services will raise a Pokémon's friendship, though at different rates. The younger brotherSuWeFr charges 300, and the older brotherTuThSa charges 500. Neither brother works on a Monday.
- The Herb Shop, the southernmost shop, sells medicinal herbs that heal or revive Pokémon and are cheaper than their Poké Mart counterparts. The downside to this is that Pokémon do not enjoy these bitter herbs, so their friendship rating will decrease slightly as a result. This shop is only open on weekends.

The north end of the tunnel houses two new venues, the Dress-Up Shop and the Memorial Photo Studio. The Dress-Up Shop lets Trainers dress up their Pokémon with accessories before taking their photo; the Photo Studio lets a Trainer dress up in a Team Rocket uniform before taking a picture of them and their Pokémon.
Name Rater
The Name Rater lives in the house to the west of the Goldenrod Gym. Like his counterpart in Lavender Town, the Name Rater evaluates a Pokémon's nickname, and gives Trainers the opportunity to think up new nicknames for them unless they were received in a trade, as they cannot be renamed.
Mood Tester
There are certain Pokémon, like Espeon and Umbreon, that can only evolve when a Pokémon reaches a certain level of friendship. The woman in the house near the Bike Shop will evaluate the friendship rating of a Trainer's first Pokémon. There are many things that a Trainer can do in order to raise a Pokémon's friendship, like grooming it, using vitamins on it, or simply walking with the Pokémon.
Global Terminal
The Global Terminal is the worldwide network over which players can interact in different ways via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. In order to access the terminal, players must have the the first badge of Johto. The Global Trade Station lets a player send and receive Pokémon on the worldwide network. If the player talks with the woman at the counter, she will direct them into a room in which they can either put up a Pokémon to be traded or trade a Pokémon they own for one that has been put up for trade.
Radio Tower
Step inside the Radio Tower by the train station. Felicity, the woman at the computer, allows Trainers to draw a lottery ticket, and hands out prizes if any numbers match the Trainer's ID number. Speak to the third woman behind the counter to participate in a quiz to earn the Radio Card for your Pokégear. After completing the quiz, the pink-haired girl nearby will return to her post at the Gym. Talk to DJ Buena on the second floor to get the Blue Card, which lets you play the Buena's Password game everyday to earn points to trade for items.
There are numerous shows broadcasted, with the most prominent being Oak's Pokémon Talk, Pokémon Music Channel, and Buena's Password. More shows become available later.
- Professor Oak, with commentary by DJ Mary, gives tips on where Trainers can find different Pokémon species.
- Hosted by Ben, this channel broadcasts two different pieces of music (depending on the day of the week) that affect how often wild Pokémon will appear.
- The Pokémon March plays upbeat music that increases the chance of encountering wild Pokémon.
- The Pokémon Lullaby plays soothing music that decreases the chance of encountering wild Pokémon.

Magnet Train Station
Next to the Radio Tower is the Magnet Train Station. Currently shut down, this bullet train normally runs between Johto's Goldenrod and Kanto's Saffron twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. This is the quickest way to travel from one region to the other, since the only other method (sailing aboard the S.S. Aqua between Olivine and Vermilion) runs much less frequently, making the Magnet Train the ideal method of transportation.
Goldenrod Dept Store
Located just east of the Poké Center, the Goldenrod Department Store is the largest shop in Johto (eight floors counting the rooftop and basement), and has a wide array of items on sale.
While there are no shops in the basement, you can take the elevator downstairs to find an Ultra Ball, a Burn Heal, and an Ether lying around.
2F - Trainer's Market
The Trainer's Market sells basic equipment and items that a Trainer may need during their journey.
3F - Battle Collection
The Battle Collection sells temporary stat-enhancing items.
|Battle items
4F - Medicine Box
The Medicine Box sells permanent stat-enhancing items.
5F - TM Corner
The TM Corner on the fifth floor offers a variety of different TMs for a Trainer to purchase.
On Sundays, there is a second shopkeeper behind the counter, and she will give you TM27 (Return) if your partner Pokémon is happy, or TM21 (Frustration) if it is unhappy. There is also a man here who is willing to trade his Machop for a Drowzee. It is a good idea to trade, since the Goldenrod Gym is devoted to Normal-type.
6F - Rooftop Atrium
Like at the Celadon Department Store, the Rooftop Atrium houses vending machines that dispense drinks that heal a Pokémon's health. There's also a raffle that can be entered for 300, with a chance to win either a Berry, a certain type of Poké Ball, or a TM (selection changes depending on the day of the week).
With so many supplies at their disposal, Trainers should have little trouble at the Goldenrod Gym.
Goldenrod Gym
The Goldenrod Gym is devoted to Normal-type. Trainers would do well to bring Fighting-types along, since they are the only type to get a power bonus when battling Normal-types. Unless you've traded for the guy's Machop in the Dept Store, this could be a rough battle. The Gym's layout is much the same as it was in Gold and Silver, but challengers must now navigate over and around the raised platforms in order to reach Whitney.
After defeating her, Whitney sobs uncontrollably, ignoring you altogether. Unable to receive your new badge, the frustrated Trainer turns to leave when one of the junior Trainers stops you. She speaks to Whitney, and the Gym Leader finally gives up the Plain Badge (which gives a Speed boost to a Trainer's Pokémon), TM45 (Attract), and the ability to use Strength outside of battle. Whitney will also mentions that the Pokéathlon Dome is now open, so now you can compete in the games there.
Goldenrod Flower Shop
After beating Whitney, stop by the flower shop just east of the Gym. The woman inside talks about an odd tree on Route 36 that actually squirms around to avoid contact with water. An oddity, but Trainers strong enough to defeat the Goldenrod Gym should have no trouble approaching it. She gives you the Squirtbottle to instigate it, hoping to discover what it really is. Return here after obtaining the Berry Pots, and the woman who gave you the SquirtBottle will be offering Mulch for sale.

TODD: I grew up watching lots of movies; didn't get into film school, but made a lot of bad short films in college and started watching even more movies (about two per day for a while), and also starred in an independent feature that was made expertly as far as low budget production was concerned; all of which led to the notion that I could potentially make a feature.
That said, we re-shot 80% of the film after wrapping the first leg of production, so to be honest, the first round of shooting is what prepared me the most for making the final product.
Where did the idea come from? What was the writing process like?
TODD: Part of it was the desire to make a college comedy that was honest and more relatable than an American Pie movie. Something that felt more like Dazed and Confused or Swingers. I felt like I wasn't seeing that movie anymore, and felt like I had a good grasp on that type of story based on my own college experience.
Part of it also had to do with wanting to make a film that I knew I could do for a limited budget and with elements that were accessible to me at the time (good comedic actors, campus locations, etc). The last piece, and potentially the most important one, was wanting to make something that I knew I could get to its audience, and thus the first tour was born.
Can you describe the thinking behind the tour -- what you hoped to accomplish and then the reality of how it worked out?
TODD: The main goal was to get the film to its audience, and do so in a manner that enhanced the experience (i.e, we didn't want it to be just a movie screening; we wanted events and tailored marketing that fit the film and its target audience).
As far as how it worked out, the first tour was a complete success; it exceeded any and all expectations. The subsequent tours have been successful in different ways, but nothing close to what we pulled off on the first one.
How did you fund the film?
TODD: The first round came from an investment group, and the second round came from friends, family, mine and my producer's pocket, and lots of credit cards.
What sort of camera did you use for production and what were the best and worst things about it?
TODD: We shot with the Panasonic HVX and used the Brevis 35 adapter, and the best part of it was probably the P2 Workflow, and in specific, being able to watch footage immediately and edit rough cut scenes on the fly. Our editor would cut scenes overnight and we could watch 'em the next day and decide what to pick-up before that day's call time, and that was huge.
As far as the worst thing goes, there were the general hiccups that come along with using new technology, but I can't say that I can think one negative thing in specific. It was a pretty wonderful experience working with that camera setup.
Did using the Brevis 35 adapter add to your crew size or make it more difficult to "run and gun"?
TODD: Definitely not. Other than needing a really good 1st AC to handle focus pulling and what not, the Brevis was extremely lightweight, and the setup was much smaller and easier to maneuver than the Redrock or other adapters I had played with.
We had a steadicam that we used on probably 30-40% of the film and a shoulder mount unit as well and we were able to whip around pretty good.
Did the story change much in the editing process?
TODD: A ton. We cut out an entire portion of the second act and did re-shoots to fill in what is now the middle of the movie. The irony being, the storyline I had the most trouble with at the script stage ultimately was the one that got ditched in the edit room. I'm not exactly sure why I thought "shooting it" would make it any better....
What was the smartest thing you did during production? The dumbest?
TODD: The smartest thing was probably not listening to people 95% of the time, whether it was re; something we couldn't do, or shouldn't do or couldn't afford etc; and the dumbest thing was without a doubt the other 5% of the time that I didn't listen.
And, finally, what did you learn from making the film that you can take to other projects?
TODD: A big one was to work as much out in the development process as possible, because anything that doesn't get solved in the writing is only becoming a bigger problem after you shoot. And then an even bigger problem while you're editing.

i made my cursor bigger and it appeared! although the other cursors such as the finger and the text cursor appear corrupted.
edit: ill try removing /System/Library/Extensions/2A42AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext , gimme a few minutes.
np. I think this is the cause but at the same time, it would be a blessing to know that you can load AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext. For me the boot stops at a blue screen when I have that kext installed, because my addressing seems wrong. We need coldequation to have a look at this too.. It's just too good to be true

When Is Low Lying Placenta Dangerous?
- If you are diagnosed with this condition towards the end of your pregnancy, meaning your third trimester then it makes it a pregnancy health risk well worth heeding. This is because the baby is almost fully grown now and it makes your situation very fragile.
- Ideally the feotus should be implanted in the upper half of the uterus because it has a higher concentration of blood vessels. It means more food and ventilation for the baby. But sometimes this does not happen.
- If you it is detected in the first trimester then there is always a possibility that the baby moves up in the coming months.
What Are the Consequences Of Low Lying Placenta?
- It is one of the leading causes of bleeding during pregnancy. If pressure is put on the placenta due its awkward position then it may cause mild to heavy bleeding.
- The bleeding does not necessarily mean that you are having a miscarriage. The blood lost is usually from the expecting mother. The baby need not be harmed.
- How ever there are chances of premature delivery and the probability of a C-section birth shoots up. This is because the baby is lying lower down in the uterus than it should and that is dangerously close to the cervix.
- If the baby is positioned in a way to cover the cervix totally or partially then the condition is called Placenta previa. If the cervix is partially covered then there is chance that the placenta migrates to clear the passage for birth but if it is a total placenta previa then the pregnancy becomes very high risk.
What Can Be Done About Low Lying Placenta?
- Women with this condition in the beginning and during their last trimester of pregnancy are often advised total bed rest. Just put your feet up and sleep.
- No traveling long distances for work or pleasure because you may start losing blood at any point of time.
- It is preferable to have no physical internal check ups and restrict it to ultrasound scans.
- Prenatal exercises are not very advisable for the expecting mother nor is intercourse until the baby is born.
If you have a low lying placenta then the best thing to do is follow your gynecologist's advise and make arrangements for any kind of untoward emergencies.

Interactive clothing seems to play a key role when it comes to blur the line between online and offline identities, between the physical and virtual world.
Numerous concepts have been developed over the past years, becoming more advanced and more realistic than ever. This is partly because the wearable technology advance rapidly and partly because our social interactions become more intense, more closer and in some cases replace the physical interaction completely.
Clothing is part of our identity so it makes perfectly sense to use this medium to re-connect our virtual existence with the physical world we live in.
Carnaven Chiu, Xiao Xiao, Keywon Chung, and Peggy Chi, students at the MIT developed SOS: Stress OutSourced a peer-to-peer network that allows anonymous users or friends in social communities like Facebook or Twitter to send each other therapeutic massages to relieve stress.
How it works: A stressed person sends an stress signal to the community of connected people wearing the same SOS enabled jacket. Community members can then response by sending back a haptic massage signal via their networked jacket.
The team envisions to have a massage also from anonymous people which might end up in a very rough massage session you still will need a sizable social network as each sender can only transmit one second of massage so better you start building large friends lists to get some minutes out of cyber relaxation.
Even though the Stress OutSourced might never make it to the shop floor it does show the possibilities how to merge our physical and virtual presents and underlines the role interactive clothing can take on in this 'New Brave World'.

California's health insurance exchange web site is under such pressure from the crush of last-minute users that to accommodate more of them, exchange officials on Monday removed one feature from the site, and are asking people who have completed their applications up to a certain point to finish later.
Those applicants are being alerted online that they can complete their applications by the April 15 extended deadline, said Covered California executive director Peter Lee during a press conference Monday.
Even as Lee announced that enrollments in health insurance plans now have surged past 1.2 million, with another 1.5 million enrolled in Medi-Cal, he said the system "is being swamped with huge interest" which is making the site more sluggish and preventing access to as many potential new enrollees as possible.
To allow more of them to sign up by the midnight deadline, Lee said the "Preview Plans" feature is being taken down to free up enough energy to keep the web site working at a reasonable pace.
The "Shop and Compare" feature, which Lee said offers the same information for applicants who are trying to decide which health plan best suits their needs, will remain on the web site, he said.
Lee also said that the Covered California web site is being monitored so that during high volume periods, the web site will stop applications at the "save" juncture of the process, and alert them that their applications can be completed later. They can finish their applications online, through a call center, or with the help of a certified insurance agent or certified enrollment counselor.
As long as an individual can show that he or she started an application by 11:59 p.m. Monday, Covered California will let that person finalize it by April 15. Anyone who is not enrolled in a health plan by that date faces a $95 penalty, or 1 percent of their income, whichever is greater.
Since insurance exchanges under the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, opened for business on Oct. 1, Lee said 40 percent of California's 1.2 million enrollees have signed up for an exchange plan by themselves.
Lee also said the average wait time early Monday to enroll in a plan through the state's three call centers was more than 40 minutes, but less than an hour.
Some last-minute enrollment events also are being held around the state including one in Oakland's Chinatown, where dozens of would-be enrollees waited Monday afternoon in a line that snaked around the lobby of the Oakland Asian Cultural Center.
"I guess I just kept putting it off," said Oakland resident Paul Encinas, 32, a video game producer who is running out of coverage after getting laid off a few months ago. "Procrastination, that's why I'm here."
He was one of more than 150 people who crowded the center in just the first 20 minutes of an hours-long enrollment event, all of them seeking help from staff of the Service Employees International Union.
"We're a little bit overwhelmed," said SEIU worker Leon Chow, scanning the crowd for those who needed help with language interpretation.
Many were seeking assistance in Mandarin and Cantonese. Others, such as Encinas, said they just wanted information from any live person after struggling with the Covered California website. He hoped to stay with his current insurer, Cigna, but was not sure how much it would cost.
"I've been trying to get on the damn website for months, and then I just panicked and came down," said Sara Shopkow, 60, a freelance grant writer and editor from Oakland.
She knew she wanted to stick with a Kaiser plan and that it would be $300 less than what she pays now, but she was looking for help with the online sign up.
"I've been waiting for this for years, though I'm a little taken aback it's not more affordable," she said.
At an earlier event at Berkeley City College, Sam Burd, a Covered California certified educator, was directing an Obamacare signup organized by Volunteering for Oakland.
He said he expected about 70 people to sign up. An hour before the event closed, Burd said he was seeing more adults in the 18-to-34-year-old group and more Latinos enrolling than at previous events also hosted by the the organization.
Both groups' enrollment numbers have been lagging, a concern to insurers who had hoped each demographic, which tend to be younger and healthier, would balance out the risk pool of sicker and older enrollees.
Gary Flaxman, 52, of Oakland, was among those happy to sign up for a plan under the landmark health care law, even though he said he doesn't need health insurance at the moment.
"Having said that, I'll probably get hit by a car when I walk out of here," joked Flaxman, an unemployed accounting consultant.
"I am exactly the kind of person who Obama wants to sign up. I'm paying for something I don't need. But I do understand that healthy people need to feed into the system to support the unhealthy, and I'm OK with that."
The next open enrollment period begins Nov. 15 for insurance plans that will begin on Jan. 1, 2015.
Enrollment events continue Monday in the Bay Area until 7 p.m. at a Kaiser Permanente retail store located at The Plant Shopping Center, 111 Curtner Ave., #60, in San Jose; from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Bay Area Rescue Mission (in the Chapel), 123 MacDonald Ave., Richmond; and from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, 388 Ninth St., Suite 290, Oakland.

Albanian MPs have called for the removal of Greek Consul Theodhorus Ikonomus, who reportedly called on Albanians and Aromanians in the city of Korca to register as Greeks in the upcoming national census.
MP Gazmend Oketa, a member of the ruling Democratic Party, called on the Albanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take action against the consul and declare him "persona non grata" in Albania.
Oketa's remarks came during a meeting of the foreign affairs commission in parliament on Wednesday, which was called to discuss Ikonomus' statements.
According to local media, the Greek consul made the statement during a reception celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Greek minority organisation Omonia.
"Greeks should not be afraid to register their own nationality and for those in doubt they should look deep inside and discover that they are Greek," said Ikonomus, according to daily newspaper Gazeta Shqiptare.
"Go to the cemetery and see the tombstones of your forefathers and you will see that they are written in Greek [because] this is Northern Epirus," Ikonomos added.
During his speech, Ikonomos also called the Aromanian minority Greek and asked them to register as such in the upcoming census.
Northern Epirus is a term used mostly by Greeks and is associated with territorial claims by Athens for large swathes of southern Albania.
Albania is due to hold a nationwide census in 2011, which includes a controversial question that asks for the voluntary declaration of nationality.
On Tuesday, the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the Greek ambassador in Tirana, Nicolas Pazios, to ask for an explanation of the consul's remarks.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs made clear its position on the statement, calling it unnecessary and not representative of the Greek-Albanian relationship," the Ministry said in a statement.
Defence Ministry acknowledges embarrassing reports that four of the highest trained soldiers failed to return home from a training mission in UK, again exposing the problem of low salaries and hopelessness in Albania.
Turkey's plans to buy Russian S-400 missile systems alarm its Western allies but form part of an ever-closer partnership with Russia that will have an obvious impact on the Balkans.
The choice of a Dacian wolf as Romania's logo for the presidency of the European Council in 2019 has caused controversy over whether it might send a confusing nationalistic message about the country.

Supply and Accessory List for Scene
Stamps: Kittie Kits Farm Life and Outdoor Master Ink: Black Versafine, Peeled Paint, Fired Brick, Pumice Stone, More Mustard, Vintage Photo, Scattered Straw, Forest Moss, Aged Mahogany Paper: Arches Cold Pressed Watercolor Accessories: Brushes, Inkssentials Blending Tool, Color Box Stylus and Foam Tip, Artist Pen, Sponge Dauber, Paper Mask
1. Stamp Image on watercolor paper
2. Stamp the image on scrap paper, cut out and mask the image. Sponge in the brown path.
3. Sponge green ground area on both sides of the path and barn.
4. Stamp mini fern image on the ground area to add textures.
5. Sketch the tree image using a waterproof artist pen. You can also use the tree stamp in my Outdoor Master.
6. Sponge in the top of the tree.
7. Paint in the brown tree trunk area just up to the green top. Using a perfectly dry brush gather ink directly from the ink pad and then lightly brush in the tree trunk area that is up in the green top. Using the stipple motion with the dry brush will avoid watering down the green sponged area and will allow the trunks to show better after the leafy image is stamped.
8. Stamp the mini fern image or any leaf image around on the green tree top to fill in the appearance of leaves.
9. Heat dry all the inked areas and then lightly sponge in yellow in the sky area. You can use blue in place of yellow. I just love the look of the yellow highlight around the green trees and ground area.
10. Remove the mask and paint the old tin roof with a gray paint. I used Pumice Stone. Use a darker mixture of ink to fill in the distressed lines on the roof.
11. Use a dry brush and lightly gather mustard reinker and use stipple motion to apply around the roof to age and give the appearance of rust. Paint in the barn window and straw.
12. Paint the barn bright red. I used a Fired Brick.
13. Go over the lines of the roof, door and boards with the black waterproof marker to add definition to the image. This step isn't a must but it reinforces the lines of the image
14. Add shadow under the roof line and along some of the board lines using a stipple motion with a dry brush dipped lightly in the darker red reinker.
Finish your card. You can find tutorials on how to create a floral spray and matted frame on my blog. The frame was made with Nestabilities and the foliage and flowers were made with Martha Stewart and Fiskars punches.
Here's a couple other views of my project.

Buffalo Tarheel I also have another question that I should have posted earlier. In NC it is possible to take the ham to the store and have the ends cut off or have the ham cut in half. In NY State (home of regulations on everything), I suspect that I would not fare well trying to do so. (And of course it would take some time to explain to a butcher how this ham is different). Cutting the bone presents some challenges, but the technology may be simple. Has anyone had success cutting one with a circular saw, or am I in danger of making the news for all the wrong reasons?
stlouisguy Don't you have to boil a whole country ham before baking? I always thought a true country ham was dry as hell, and completely salt-ridden, and had to be boiled first. I can't really help otherwise, as the only way I've ever bought country ham (which I love) is sliced and ready for the frypan, for breakfast. I've also bought the trimmings prepacked for seasoning green beans, etc.
Nancypalooza Buffalo I'm giggling about your dietary revisions above. I'm eating nothing but leftover cheese ball kashi and ice cream sprouts myself. Also when you serve this beastie, remember that for sides you think about going in a different direction than you would with a city ham because of the salt. I really like something savory/sweet with country ham, which is why I'm always slathering my CH biscuits with red currant or pepper jelly. Also if you do give up on it and put it on somebody's doorstep up there in Yankeeville, make sure to put a big piece of masking tape on the bag and write "PROSCIUTTO" on it with a Sharpie, and then they'll know what to do with it.
Michael Hoffman Here's a whole lot of information on cooking country hams: http://www.countryhams.com/cookinginfo.htm
Nancypalooza No, I have 100 percent faith. You are not the quivering newbie that I was 15 years ago. Yes you can! Yes you can! Yes you can! I changed my mind about your sides--those sound great. :) Just put out some jelly for me.
edwmax These small saws from Lowes work great in the kitchen. I use a 15" PVC saw myself to cut bones.
edwmax Then you didn't have a cook that actually knew how to use & prepare true country 'aged' ham. It is on the scale of prosciutto ham.

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, N.J., Nov. 20 (UPI) -- The Holland Township, N.J., parents of three children with Nazi-themed names say state officials took custody of their newborn son 17 hours after he was born.
Heath and Deborah Campbell said New Jersey child welfare officials took their newborn son into custody Thursday night, about 17 hours after Deborah Campbell gave birth, The Express Times, Easton, Pa., reported.
The Campbells's three other children, Adolf Hitler, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie, were placed in foster care by the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services in 2009 because the children were in danger based on previous violence in the Campbell household, past court filings state.
The Campbells said they did not know DYFS would take their newborn, Hons, and officials gave them no reason for taking their baby.
"There's no legal binding court order," Heath Campbell said. "It's basically a kidnapping, but they use different terms."
Deborah Campbell said guards were stationed outside of her hospital room to prevent her from having contact with her baby.
Pasquale Giannetta, an attorney for the Campbell family, said a court hearing has been scheduled for Monday to determine whether DYFS will keep custody of the newborn.

THE Football Association have dismissed Newcastle United's appeal over Loic Remy's three-match ban for his sending off at Norwich City.
An independent regulatory commission discussed Chris Foy's decision to issue Remy with a straight red card for a clash with Bradley Johnson, and upheld the official's verdict of serious foul play.
Remy will therefore miss Saturday's Tyne-Wear derby with Sunderland as well as the forthcoming Premier League games with Chelsea and Tottenham.
Loading article content
Johnson's dismissal has been overturned, however, meaning the Norwich midfielder does not face a suspension.
An FA statement said: "An Independent Regulatory Commission heard two claims of wrongful dismissal today both in relation to the Norwich City versus Newcastle United game on Tuesday [28 January 2014].
"The claim involving Norwich's Bradley Johnson was upheld meaning his three-match suspension is withdrawn.
"The claim involving Newcastle's Loic Remy was dismissed therefore his three-match suspension remains with immediate effect.
"Both players had been dismissed for violent conduct."

Whatever the original purpose of feathers, they were probably around for millions of years before a single lineage of dinosaurs began to use them for flight. Paleontologists are now carefully studying the closest theropod relatives of birds for clues to how this transition occurred. One of the most revealing is a recently discovered wonder called Anchiornis, more than 150 million years old. The size of a chicken, it had arm feathers with black-and-white portions, creating the spangled pattern you might see on a prize rooster at a county fair. On its head it wore a gaudy rufous crown. In structure, Anchiornis's plumes were nearly identical to flight feathers, except that they were symmetrical rather than asymmetrical. Without a thin, stiff leading edge, they may have been too weak for flight.
What the plumes lacked in strength, however, they made up for in number. Anchiornis had an embarrassment of feathers. They sprouted from its arms, legs, and even its toes. It's possible that sexual selection drove the evolution of this extravagant plumage, much as it drives the evolution of peacock trains today. And just as their long, heavy trains pose a burden to peacocks, the extravagant feathers of Anchiornis may have been a bit of a drag, literally.
Corwin Sullivan and his colleagues at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing have found a way that Anchiornis could have overcome this problem. In the theropods that were closely related to living birds, a particular wristbone was wedge-shaped, allowing them to bend their hands. Anchiornis's wrist bone was so wedge-shaped that it could fold its arms to its sides, keeping its arm feathers off the ground as it walked. Modern birds use a similar bone in flight, drawing their wings toward their bodies during an upstroke. If Sullivan and his colleagues are right, this crucial flight feature evolved long before birds took wing. It's an example of what evolutionary biologists call exaptation: borrowing an old body part for a new job. It now looks like bird flight was made possible by a whole string of such exaptations stretching across millions of years, long before flight itself arose.
The way in which that final transition occurred continues to inspire lively debate. Some scientists argue that feathered dinosaurs evolved flight from the ground up, flapping their feathered arms as they ran. Others challenge this notion, pointing out that the "leg wings" on Anchiornis and other close relatives of birds would have made for very clumsy running. These researchers are reviving the old idea that protobirds used feathers to help them leap from trees, glide, and finally fly.
Ground up, trees down—why not both? Flight did not evolve in a two-dimensional world, argues Ken Dial, a flight researcher at the University of Montana-Missoula. Dial has shown that in many species a chick flaps its rudimentary wings to gain traction as it runs from predators up steep inclines, like tree trunks and cliffs. But flapping also helps steady the chick's inevitable return to lower terrain. As the young bird matures, such controlled descent gradually gives way to powered flight. Perhaps, says Dial, the path the chick takes in development retraces the one its lineage followed in evolution—winging it, so to speak, until it finally took wing.

I'd like to present crowd.mx or CMX as we've started calling it. It's a location based anonymous chat / note dropping app. We've been working on it for some time and we think it's really cool and would like to share it with the community here at XDA.
CMX has 3 simple functions one on each tab:
[Tab 1] CMX connects you in a chat room with the nearest CMX users. We literally mean nearest. If it's late at night and nobody is on, it will get people from all over the world for you to chat with. If you're at a concert with a lot of users nearby or on at a busy time, you will only see chat that's happening nearby. You have your own personal 'chat sphere' that re-sizes itself for you to have people to talk with. That way, there will always be someone on for you to chat with. If you want to talk more privately, like most chat apps, you can select users and send them private messages.
We think Tab 1 is really frickin cool.
[Tab 2] If you like Tab 1, this tab is even cooler. Here you can leave public notes at different locations. The notes persist at that spot and can be seen in a 100m radius around where you dropped it. You can have a group meet you on top of Mt. Everest and have a private conversation there. You can leave a suggestion at a restaurant *in* the restaurant for people who eat there later. You could announce to your neighbors that you have a BBQ coming up. You don't just have to leave public notes, we even allow you to leave hidden notes which are only visible to the user you selected... even if that user is yourself. You could drop a note with your locker number over your locker or leave love notes for your wife. There are a lot of crazy interesting things you can do with this. Like many social apps, this aspect of our app really needs lots of users to be cool. That's why we made Tab 1... to keep you entertained in the mean time!
[Tab 3] This tab has two purposes. It mainly functions to let you control where you are. So if there's a major event going on somewhere in the world, you can go there and chat directly with the people there.
This tab also serves as a place where you can 'make an announcement.' Announcements are a premium service that you have to pay for. They're kinda like the big-brother to the notes in Tab 2. You can choose what radius you want them to be seen within and they will re-broadcast themselves to people chatting in the area.
We've worked really hard to make this service as anonymous as we can. There's no login. No usernames. No facebook. No anything. You can get on and start chatting/dropping notes right away.
We welcome you to come join us in the chat, drop silly notes around town, and give us feedback so we can keep working to make this app cooler and more fun for everyone.
Where do I get the APP?
Search the play store for: "CMX"
XDA-Beta Key: cheerios
================================================== ==================================
More Questions for the curious:
Q: Who made the app?
A: Myself and a friend, both of us recent physics phds... novice app developers!
Q: Where did the app come from?
A: A few years ago, we had a vision for a news app that would let the people report the news around them. While finishing our degrees, we worked on the infrastructure for the app in our spare time. Along the way, we came up with some pretty cool algorithms for indexing information by geography and other stuff. After we graduated, we set out to make that news app, but it was too big! So we looked at all the cool stuff we made for the backend and decided use it in a social app instead. So here's that app! We hope it's the first of many apps.
Q: What do you mean by anonymous?
A: Well, we really mean that we're committed to trying not to save or collect info from you. BUT, we have also taken extra measures to encrypt transmissions, encrypt data in the database, and discard information as soon as we don't need it. We'll continually work to improve on these as we get more experience. If CMX sees any success, we hope to hire experts far more proficient than us! If you're interested in more information about our security measures, we invite you to read our technical description on our message board. You can find the link in the playstore or in the app.
Q: Can I post anything?
A: Well, our hosting service does not allow porn. So you can 'report' people who have posted porn. And we can ban people who have posted porn. Also, we have protections in place to protect us from bot-spam.
Q: How can you ban someone for posting porn, if you don't track them?!
A: It's complicated. You should probably read the technical description mentioned in the anonymous section.
Q: How long will the app be in Beta?
A: Uhh, tough question!
Q: Why does it not show all the chat from when I was last on?
A: The messages sent to the Chat tab are *NOT* stored on our servers. They are redirected to the clients within range. So if your client loses its connection to our servers, you will not receive those chats. If your phone gets low on resources, it may close the service. We chose to do this to further protect people's identity.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy it.
-Foolish John

I had this axe for one day. Took a swing at dead limb and bent the blade. I am embarrassed for Browning to have their name on it.
so I bought this axe to take camping and fishing . so far I have chopped two dead trees down and one live one for my neighbor . both of the dead trees were about 8in in diameter and fell rather quick . my neighbor had a half dead tree in his front yard it was a good size trunk for this axe but it did the job . this axe is good and lite tool to have wile out in the woods and need to chop some wood for a fire .

Alisa Goler wasn't born with a powerful swing.
She didn't even show obvious signs of one until relatively late in her development.
But once Goler acquired it, she rewrote Georgia's slugging records and has helped the Bulldogs to the Women's College World Series the past two years.
"It's funny because I didn't even hit a home run over the fence until my senior year in high school," Goler said. "I was always telling my dad that it made me mad. He said just wait and you'll start hitting them all the time. I was like, 'No way.' Now I've got the record. Guess he knew better than I did."
Sixth-seeded Georgia (52-12) plays No. 11-seeded Baylor (43-12) in a best-of-three NCAA Super Regional series at Jack Turner Softball Stadium this weekend. Game 1 starts at 7:30 p.m. today. Game 2 will be at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday with a third game to follow if necessary.
Goler and the rest of the Bulldogs' senior class will be hunting for their third straight trip to Oklahoma City, and this will be their final set of games in Athens.
"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't getting sentimental, but I am," the left-handed hitting Goler said. "It's kind of hard because we've been together for so long. There's eight of us (seniors). We've done a good job of not letting the emotion get in the way and let's be honest, if there ever was a time to put that behind us, it's this weekend. Losing is not an option for us. "
"We've got to play at maximum intensity to get back to Oklahoma again. I refuse to let my last game be here (at Jack Turner Stadium)."
Georgia has a lineup filled with impressive statistics, but Goler's numbers stand out about as much as her Chicago accent in the Deep South.
Goler, a third baseman from Frankfort, Ill., hit just two home runs her freshman season, but now owns Georgia's career records for home runs (58), RBIs (236), walks (183) and is tied for sacrifice flies (12). Goler also has the highest slugging percentage (.693) and walk-to-strikeout ratio (3.52) in school history.
Despite her powerful swing, Goler has been the most difficult Bulldog to strike out in school history as well. She has fanned 13 times in 154 at-bats this season and 52 times in 678 career at-bats.
"She is definitely one of the best, that's for sure," Georgia second baseman Ashley Pauley said. "She's got this mental attitude and mental approach to hitting. She wants to be the best. She practices hard every day and it shows in her hitting."
All that hitting success doesn't escape the attention of opposing scouting reports. Teams rarely pitch to her with runners on base and if she comes to the plate with first base open, she might as well trot down the line because she'll usually get the intentional walk.
"It makes me feel better because if they're not going to pitch to Goler, that means I'm going to get a better pitch to see," Georgia catcher Ashley Razey said. "It's a good feeling when you step in and know that they've just walked her, so they have to give you something good to hit because they don't want to walk another one."
Goler leads Georgia this season in home runs with 16, but she is third in RBIs behind Brianna Hesson (63) and Razey (57).
"She spends a lot of time on first base," Pauley said. "I think it's a little frustrating for her because she's our best hitter and she wants to hit every time. But it's also kind of a compliment because teams are scared to death of her and don't want to pitch to her because she has that target."
Baylor will likely bring a different attitude to the park this weekend. The Lady Bears' left-hander Whitney Canion threw three straight shutouts as Baylor won the College Park, Md., Regional last weekend. She has a 27-9 record with a 1.16 ERA, 295 strikeouts and 85 walks. Liz Paul has a 7-1 record with a 1.51 ERA, 51 strikeouts and 19 walks. Courtney Repka has a 9-2 record, 2.27 ERA, 47 strikeouts and 26 walks.
"It used to aggravate me a little bit when people wouldn't pitch to me," Goler said. "Now if I get on base, I usually end up scoring anyway, so that's fine with me. But I don't expect to get walked a lot in super regionals. The pitchers are really good. They're not going to want to put somebody on base for free."

However they aren't taking the Xbox 360's 'founding audience' for granted. They're "very aware of the key role" they play it getting the console where it is.
"Obviously we're very excited by the success of Kinect," said Microsoft's David Dennis at CES 2011. "But we have no intention of abandoning the Xbox 360 audience that bought in originally." There are 'core-focused' titles in development we don't know of yet.
"We're very aware of the key role the enthusiastic core audience played in making the Xbox 360 what it is, and we'll continue to support and develop (titles) like Halo and Gears of War." Xbox 360 has now sold over 50 million console units worldwide.
Microsoft has some big things planned for Xbox Live too. "A lot of the improvements we've made to Xbox Live over the last year have been behind the scenes -- a lot of work went into making sure Xbox Live was ready for the release of Halo: Reach and Call of Duty: Black Ops," continued PR executive Dennis.
"But we're very aware of the kinds of improvements Live users want to see, and we'll continue to work on developing the service." The biggest user priority right now? He says it's "the friends list issue, which, you know, only affects a certain percentage of users, but clearly it's very important to them." Have you picked up Kinect, videogamer?

1) Licenses and permits are a tax pure and simple
2) Do you really want to make something that is a Natural Right into a government granted privilege?
3) What ever you can do legally with a license, you can do lawfully without one, since government cannot license anything that is unlawful. And having children is a lawful act, lets face it they already scammed you with Marriage license, drivers license, gun license, work permit/license etc. etc. all of them are taxes designed to extract money from your pocket!
4) How will a license stop people doing stupid things, or act responsible? Does a driving license stop stupid driver's?
5) Whenever you assign authority to the government you a failing in your role as a citizen and are basically agreeing to be DEPENDENT on the government.
That is why this world is in its current state. No interest or accountability by the people, they prefer to watch mind numbing TV, believe in bought and paid for biased news media networks, and aspire to be like shallow and oblivious self centered entertainers and sports celebrities, while their government runs rampant.

Parker boys give Beloit a scare
Special to the Gazette
Barkin Arena has been a house of horrors for Janesville Parker High School�s boys basketball teams.
The Vikings have not won there since 1986, and despite a gallant effort and giving Big Eight Conference co-champion Beloit Memorial a major scare here Saturday, they again were unable to exorcise their demons on the Purple Knights� court.
Instead, Beloit gained just enough breathing room in the final minute to pull out a 62-56 victory over Parker in the WIAA Division 1 regional finals.
The heavily favored Purple Knights (19-4), ranked 10th in the state, withstood a late charge from Parker (9-15) to hold on and qualify for a sectional semifinal game Thursday night against Franklin (18-5) at Kenosha Tremper.
Except for an early 3-2 lead, Parker trailed the entire game but closed to within 51-50 and then 57-55 with less than a minute left when junior guard Erik Albeck nailed a three-pointer. The Vikings could get no closer, however, as Beloit converted on 12 free throws in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
Nonetheless, Parker coach Ryan Masterson was proud of the way his team played.
�We felt confident coming in that we could play with them,� he said. �We played them a week ago and felt we went toe-to-toe (in a 73-64 loss), and we gave them everything we�ve got (in this game).
�It�s a tough atmosphere, and they�re conference champs for a reason. They made some big plays.
�I couldn�t be prouder of my kids. I think we improved as much as any team I�ve been around as the year went on.
�They�ll look back on this season, and obviously it hurts right now. They really gave us everything we could ask for,� Masterson said. �I couldn�t have been around a nicer group of kids. I think they really put some good foundation for the future of Parker basketball.�
As for the present, both teams began the game with cold shooting. Parker made just two of 17 field-goal attempts in the first quarter and trailed 13-7, as Beloit was almost as cold, going 4-for-13 from the field.
The Purple Knights began to find their groove in the second quarter, surging ahead 22-9 and 26-12, behind the hot three-point shooting of senior guard Dennis Crosby.
The Vikings, however, closed the half on a 10-0 run to trail only 26-22. Junior guard Andrew Somerville made a series of key plays to keep Parker in contention, and he finished the game with 18 points.
�He�s a competitor,� Masterson said of Somerville, a 5-11 junior. �He can shoot well. He�s a small guy, but he�s not afraid to take it in, so we�re expecting big things out of him next year.�
Beloit held Parker standout Creed Knutson in check in the first half. After back-to-back 30-point games, the 6-5 senior forward had just two points at intermission but exploded in the second half with 17 to nearly lead his team to the upset.
�Creed is a great kid,� Masterson said. �He�s gotten better every year. He�s a true leader. I think he�ll be a success at the next level.
�We obviously wouldn�t have achieved what we did without him. In my opinion, he�s player of the year in the conference.�
And with Knutson stepping up, Beloit could not separate itself from the determined Vikings in the second half. Although they shot 60 percent from the field in the third quarter, the Purple Knights headed into the final period with just a seven-point lead.
After the Knights extended their lead to 11 early in the fourth quarter, it looked as though Parker�s season was coming to a decisive end. The Vikings responded with a 16-6 run, though, capped by Knutson�s three-pointer with 2:17, left to pull within 51-50, but they couldn�t overtake Beloit.
With 12.9 seconds remaining, Somerville hit one of two free throws to get Parker within 59-56. The Vikings then fouled senior forward Mike Weston with 10.9 seconds left, and he sank both free throws to make it a five-point game.
Knutson missed a three-pointer as time wound down, and Beloit grabbed the rebound and added another free throw to hang on for the victory.
Crosby finished with 19 points to lead Beloit, which again played without leading scorer Leketreius Broomfield.
Parker (56)�Somerville, 4-8-18, Thompson, 1-0-3, Long, 2-0-6, Schroeder, 1-0-2, Albeck, 2-0-6, Knutson, 6-6-19, Lloyd, 1-0-2. Totals: 17-14-56.
Beloit (62)�Weston, 0-6-6, Winston, 4-4-12, Green, 3-1-8, Crosby, 6-3-19, Roegner, 3-0-7, Ross, 4-0-8, Neal, 0-2-2. Totals: 20-16-62.

Three-point goals�Parker 8 (Somerville 2, Thompson 1, Long 2, Albeck 2, Knutson 1), Beloit 6 (Green 1, Crosby 4, Roegner 1). Free throws missed�Parker 10, Beloit 8.
