This cute seven-year-old has a stern warning for Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott: "If you don't stop, then none of us will survive." His mother, Hannah, uploaded this video on July 2, saying that her son burst into the room one night demanding that she call Abbott. Unfortunately she didn't have the Prime Minister's phone number to hand so instead offered to record his message with the hopes that it would reach its intended target online.

I bored so I'm going to get out my trusty soapbox and complain as the pedestrians wander by. It seems I can barely read an article here anymore without some console mudslinging.(especially when the month's numbers come in) I'm going start of by saying I prefer my good ole Sony PS3, but what I'm not going to do is shout out PS3 FOREVER! everybody else sucks. Every system has it's perks, it just comes down to what your poison is. They're all good. Not only do you have people who would disagree with me but there are so many out there who are complete dicks about and that just stirs up the hornets nest on those comment boards. It never ends. So while you continue with your bickering I'll pick up my controller and enjoy my games in peace.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — The Cubs remain a foil to the Astros.

First pitch: Norris on the mound one more time
By Angel Verdejo Jr. Tuesday's 5-4 win by the Astros wasn't just a warm homecoming for League City native Jarred Cosart.

Parallels between the GIScience Community in the Early 1990s and the Current State of Data Science
I came of age in the early 1990s, as the technology driving geographic information systems (GIS) was beginning to successfully "handle" geospatial data at a range of scales and formats, and a wide array of information technology products emerged from an expanding GIS industry.
However, that small community struggled to reflect the diverse research efforts at play in understanding the deeper issues surrounding geospatial data, and the impediments to effective use of that data (see a GIS history timeline).

Stung By Wasps AND Suffering From Lyme Disease: I Can't Catch A Break
You know that funny, itchy feeling when something is crawling around or worse, lodged where it doesn't belong?
A rising sun burned through the mist as I paddled on glass-smooth Rangeley Lake in western Maine the other morning, slipping silently past a pair of loons that dived below the surface in a flash.
About 4 miles ahead Doctors Island emerged from the fog, along with a more distant ridge dominated by 4,121-foot Saddleback Mountain and its lesser neighbors, Saddleback Junior, The Horn and Potato Nubble.
With both the Appalachian Trail and the Northern Forest Canoe Trail passing through, Rangeley is an outdoor Mecca, and thanks to a family cabin I've been kayaking and hiking there for years.
Mountain winds can kick up chop and 3-foot seas on the lake in mid-afternoon, but most mornings are calm enough that I feel comfortable paddling alone in my sleek, fast but slightly tippy 19-foot Kevlar boat. The biggest risk would be the wake from a powerboat, but this early in the season – the last vestige of ice melted only a couple weeks ago – I had the lake to myself.
The warm sun was ample reward for having endured such a harsh winter and relentlessly frigid spring. As much as I enjoy winter camping, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, I also savor getting out in a kayak wearing shorts, a T-shirt and sandals.
Of course, spring in Maine also is black fly season, and a biblical plague of the wretched insects, along with mosquitoes and no-see-ums – a trifecta of biting bugs –
swarmed the shoreline and followed me for several hundred yards before I finally outsprinted them. Once safe on the open water I settled into a comfortable pace and glided past Hunter Cove and the north shore.
Solo kayaking on such a delightful morning is the best way to clear your mind of all petty aggravations.
But no trip to Rangeley would be complete without sharing an adventure or two with longtime friends Mary Lou Lowrie and Nat Steele, who divide their time between a home in New Gloucester, Maine near Portland and a cabin on Cupsuptic Lake just north of Rangeley, so the next day I made plans for a rendezvous.
Mary Lou, Nat and I all share a too-much-is-never-enough approach to outdoor recreation and often plan a daylong schedule that depending on the season includes running, kayaking, hiking, bicycling and swimming. Nat is an accomplished triathlete and cross-country ski racer; I have dabbled in a variety of outdoor activities, but Mary Lou is the one with serious credentials, including a world championship in her age group for the Ironman 70.3 competition, also known as a Half Ironman, which consists of a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride, and 13.1-mile run. In addition she twice has been the top overall woman in the grueling distance Sea to Summit Triathlon; has been a bronze medalist at the Masters World Cup Nordic Ski Championships in Rovaniemi, Finland and has been the Maine Bicycle Time Trial Series overall female winner.
We began our day with a 9-plus-mile run around Bald Mountain, followed by a brisk plunge into the lake, where the water temperature barely topped 50 degrees. That felt particularly refreshing considering a sweltering heat wave had driven the air temperature to 90.
Next would be the kayak leg and after a quick snack we carried our boats down to the water.
As if on cue, though, the skies darkened and thunder rumbled.
We looked at each other and simultaneously mouthed, "Uh-oh."
"Maybe we should give it a few minutes to pass," I suggested.
So we retreated indoors just as rain began falling.
Half and hour later, with no sign of a letup, Nat and Mary Lou decided to drive back to Cupsuptic Lake and return later, assuming the weather improved.
After a few hours passed clouds lifted, the rain stopped and the sun emerged.
"Looking pretty good," I said over the phone.
"We'll be right over," Mary Lou said.
As soon as I hung up, though, the storm blew back with a vengeance.
Lightning flashed, wind howled, trees swayed, rain pelted in sheets.
Crash! Boom!
The lights went off in the cabin.
Some time later, the phone rang. It was Nat.
"Hey, we're at the top of your road. But we can't drive down. A big tree fell on the wires. It's a real mess."
It turns out the storm packing 60 mph winds had knocked down countless trees throughout the region, smashing cars, crushing buildings and knocking out power for 5,000 people.
"Maybe it's just as well we weren't out on the water," I said.
But the next morning – still no power, and the tree still blocking the road – Mary Lou and Nat returned, bushwhacked around the downed wires and appeared at the cabin. Bright sun and a blustery breeze had replaced storm clouds.
"Let's go!"
Off we went, on a glorious paddle of nearly 10 miles, including a 2-mile detour to the village of Oquossoc so they could retrieve their kayaks without having to drive past the fallen tree.
"Worth waiting for," I said.
I'm hoping to return to western Maine a few times this summer, and am sure Mary Lou, Nat and I will have more fun times on the water and in the mountains, but to tell you the truth I could do without the meteorological drama.

DEFINITION of 'McFadden Act'
Federal legislation that gave individual states the authority to govern bank branches located within the state. This includes branches of national banks located within state lines. The act was intended to allow national banks to compete with state banks by permitting them to open branches within state limitations.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'McFadden Act'
The McFadden Act was passed by Congress in 1927. It was modified in 1994 by the Riegle-Neale Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act, which allowed banks to open limited service bank branches across state lines by merging with other banks. This act repealed the earlier provision within the McFadden Act prohibiting this practice.

We felt Bella was in safe hands all of the time and they were really caring throughout. Tom did a great job with her treatment and surgery and she was never scared or distressed.
We can't thank you enough for your hard work.

It was a unfortunate time to put our 15 year old Yorkshire Terrier to sleep and was a very hard decision. The staff were very heart felt and they made Toby as restful as he could have been. They dealt with both myself and my pet in a caring and professional manner, and I would like to thank Tom and all the staff for the service they provided Toby throughout his life.
Very highly recommended service..

I can live with this separation but I have only one concern, the dust. So, I did a lot of research on the cause of the separation and found that the glass and LCD are somehow fused together. And from this thread, it seems that the "lifting screen" that we see from the outside is the separation between LCD+glass and the silver frame not between the glass and LCD. At this point I assume that the "screen separation" does not create a space between the glass a (HowTos)

I've been looking around for quite some time but I just can't find the answer. Similar questions relate to some tricky cases with third party libraries and all, but my situation seems to be textbook-simple. Nevertheless I can't figure out how this works.
I'm using Eclipse 3.5.2, Pydev 2.2.0, running on an Ubuntu 11.04 machine.
My case seems simple: I want to write a package as its own project, and then I want to write an application using this package in another project.
How should I setup pydev so that I can have this two projects "core" (the package) and "app" (which uses the core package), and from within "app" do:
import core
- I have added core to the Project References of app but it doesn't do anything.
- I have added /core/ to the Source folders (I had to force for that because is was not showing in the list), it didn't work (so I removed it).
- I have added /full/path/to/core to the External Libraries, it still doesn't work.
By "doesn't work", I mean that I get an "unresolved import: core", always.

And now, for the exciting conclusion...
The Game Archaeologist: What's one of your favorite stories from your experience running Meridian 59?
Brian Green: One time I was at Dave & Busters restaurant one evening after a day at the Game Developer's Conference (GDC). I was chatting with Raph Koster about the conference, when from behind us someone says, "Oh my god, are you Psychochild?!?" Raph, who has always been more high profile than I am, gives a grin and leaves. Turns out they were fans of the game and bought me a drink as thanks.
I think the community became tighter over time. When we relaunched Meridian 59, someone mentioned that he had been playing the game since he was 12 (he was 18 at the time). I realized that this person had been playing the game for a third of his entire life; it's an almost overwhelming observation. But in cases like this, you build deep relationships with people, and the same names have been part of M59 for years. You can make good friends and long-term
Unfortunately, this also led to it becoming more insular and unwelcoming to outsiders. This is one of the big problems we had: New players had a hard time breaking into the cliques that had formed over the years. It was also too easy to blunder into a rivalry and have your experience go sour in the game.
Even now the community supports the game in crazy ways. I found it really interesting that just this year a fan spent his own money to set up a Meridian 59 booth at PAX Prime. It's great the fans are still supporting the game, although I might have wished they had done this some years ago!
PvP was a huge focus of the game for you and many others. Why did it work so well in M59? What did your team do to support PvP activities?
I think the most important thing is that the servers stayed small, so the community got to know each other. In a lot of other games, the random killers tend to strike at people then fade away into the masses of other players. Because the gameworld and the number of players on each server were smaller than those of many other games, it was easier to find and hunt down the random killers as well as build friendships and rivalries.
As a team, we just focused on PvP. With everything we added to the game, we considered how PvP would affect the new system we added. Personally, I made balance a top priority because I felt a balanced game was going to be more fun. While I think it's impossible to get perfect balance, I think many players will agree that we did a pretty good job overall and that the wide variety of possible and powerful characters made the PvP that much better.
What was it like to work on a small MMO during the 2000s as massive titles like Dark Age of Camelot, World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online, RuneScape and so on came along boasting better graphics, bigger numbers, and better publicity? What keeps devs working on the lesser-known or less-populated MMOs even though they know they'll never really get in the spotlight again?
Most modern MMOs are built by huge teams. A game like WoW was said to have had dozens of people just writing quests in the game. When you work on a large project like that, your contributions feel very small. Even if you are the lead designer, you only touch a small part of the game, and a lot of it is created beyond your vision.
On the other hand, I touched pretty much every game system in M59. My mark was left everywhere in the game, especially when I was working on the game with Near Death Studios. Nearly anyone who has played M59 has played a system I worked on, and that's kind of a cool feeling. In talking to other indie developers, I find they often say the same thing.
At what point did you know that NDS would have to close up?
Pretty much when we lost our credit card processor. They were not going to handle credit card transactions anymore, and a replacement company we were talking to dropped the ball. Given that the state of California expects $800 per year to be paid for corporations, on top of the minimum bookkeeping and accounting required and the costs for server hosting, I couldn't afford to keep paying for that without income. So I made the hard decision to close the company down while doing what I could to make sure the game would keep running.
At the risk of going into another rant and insulting my gracious interviewer, I don't think much has changed. "Games journalism" makes its money from advertising, so they tend to focus on stories that bring more hits. The practical effect is that the larger games simply get more coverage (and therefore get larger) while smaller games tend to get overlooked. For an indie, the hardest thing is to get any attention for your project. So it can be frustrating when you see headline news about some trivia from an established indie developer appearing on the same indie game blog that won't even answer your emails about your fledgling game.
That said, there are a few bright, shining beacons that work against this trend. Obviously not everyone ignores the small games, but they should be the rule instead of the exception.
On the topic of indie titles, how is Storybricks coming along?
Wonderful! We just landed a seed round of investment so we have some money. After a very positive reception from players, we were able to raise investment from one of the most prolific angel investors. So we are on our initial steps to realizing our larger vision for Storybricks.
To that end, we've just announced that the Storybricks SDK (story development kit) will be available for testing in February. Plus, we're even looking to hire a few other developers in the new year.
Going forward, what do MMOs need to be doing more of and less of?
More: Serious efforts to push forward the definition of what MMOs can do. I think even the hardcore MMO players see we're in a rut and need to break out. We've entered a stage of sameness and it's time to take real chances with new ideas.
Less: Just copying the leader with a bigger budget. It's getting increasingly impossible to keep making games like this, and it has led to failure more than success in recent history.
What was Meridian 59's greatest legacy for the MMO genre?
Meridian 59 has been described as a transition game between the games on the large networks (like GEnie, AOL, and CompuServe) and the games available on the internet. It was the first game to use the monthly subscription-based model, which influenced many games for years afterward. These are probably its more enduring legacies.
I'd prefer that people remember it as a different type of game that demonstrates it's possible to create a game that doesn't focus on levels and loot. At least, that's the lesson I'll use in my future projects.
Thanks for talking with us!
When not clawing his eyes out at the atrocious state of general chat channels, Justin "Syp" Olivetti pulls out his history textbook for a lecture or two on the good ol' days of MMOs in The Game Archaeologist. You can contact him via email at email@example.com or through his gaming blog, Bio Break.

Great people in all areas of the hotel. I had a room on the 5th (Concierge) floor and was stunned when I opened the door and stepped into the room. The carpeting is clean, but an odd seafoam color. That wasn't what stunned me though, it was the quantity of the floor! (I later stepped it out at 30 by 20 or so.) Inside the door, I realized my room had a forest green, heart-shaped spa tub next to my bed. How retro is that?
The room was quiet and the bed linens were very clean. Rather Ethan Allen circa 1979, but so what. It was clean and worked. At least the tv was new. And you get free hbo & cinemax. Sometimes, after a busy day working & traveling. That's enough. I was a little worried that I would get up at night and hit my shin on that spa tub. It looked like it would hurt!
Room also had a small kitchen sink, fridge & microwave to go with the standard coffeemaker.
Best of all is the Concierge Lounge and breakfast offered if you're a Priority Rewards member. I'm only at the base level, but was given access to a breakfast buffet with bottled water & sodas to take for the day. In addition, from 5:30 - 9pm daily, they offer free cocktails and appetizers.
It's not the most updated hotel, but very comfortable and quirky, in a fun way.

Sullivan & Gold Release NEW Video "Run Faster"
Sullivan & Gold is the pen name of Adam Montgomery (Bass/Guitar/Vocals) and Ben Robinson (Piano/Guitar/Vocals) who both hail from Co. Derry, Northern Ireland.
The single will be available to purchase across all online stores from 9th September.Their debut album will be released on Smalltown America on November 4th, 2013 on CD and 12" Vinyl.
"Run Faster" begins with reverse sweeps of distant distortion, haunting backgrounds and reverberating strings and steadily builds through its four minutes to end in an echoing, pulsating, electronic groove, encapsulating the band's influences as they recorded the album from which this cut is taken.
To coincide, the band have released their debut video, shot by Polish Director Czlowiek Kamera.
The video tells the story of two people parting after a quarrel; the girl (Joanna Bercal) to the sea and the boy (Lukasz Chmielowski) to the mountains. Their freedom leads to a profound realization that they are deeply connected to nature as well as each other.
"Freedom, means lots of things in our modern-age," Ben explains "'Freedom Fighter', freedom from society's demands, freedom from governments' control etc. 'Run Faster' is about finding freedom in something you completely believe in and being brave enough to see that through no matter the cost."
