Sales of George Orwell's novel 1984, featuring a futuristic totalitarian state, jumped on Amazon.com's website following reports of a classified program that lets the U.S. government collect personal data.
One edition of the book, originally published in 1949, moved to No. 3 on Amazon's Movers & Shakers list, which tracks dramatic increases in sales volume over a 24-hour period. That made it the 100th-best-selling book on the site late Tuesday, an increase from its previous rank of 11,855th.
The sales gains come after the revelation of a top-secret electronic-surveillance program that allows the National Security Agency and the FBI to access data from audio and video chats, photographs, emails, documents and connection logs from the biggest U.S. Internet companies. The Washington Post and the British-based The Guardian reported the program's existence last week.
Orwell's novel portrays a dystopian society where individuals are monitored through ubiquitous television screens and overseen by a leader called Big Brother.
Barnes & Noble has seen a "significant spike in sales recently as government surveillance and Orwell have been paired in the news," even though the book is consistently a top seller, said Patricia Bostelman, vice president of marketing at the bookseller.
One U.S. government program, code-named PRISM, traces its roots to warrantless domestic-surveillance efforts under former President George W. Bush. The companies include Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple and Yahoo, The Post report said.

Trey Bedwell and Patrick Green made sure their respective high school baseball teams would meet for the championship of the Class A Shakamak Sectional by pitching shutouts in semifinal contests Monday afternoon.
That championship game won't be completed until 7 p.m. today. Play was halted in the bottom of the first inning Monday night.
In at least five of his seven innings Monday, Bedwell's performance as Union stopped Eminence 4-0 was the better of the two, even though Green got his first career no-hitter as Shakamak downed White River Valley 10-0 in the second game. The Lakers' ace would probably agree.
"I didn't have my best stuff today," Green said after his six-inning gem. "[When that happens] I've got to hit my spots, keep it down and keep [the hitters] off-balance … my breaking pitches were working."
"He wasn't throwing the ball as hard as he usually does today," agreed coach Chip Sweet — surprised to learn Green hadn't had no-hitters earlier in his career. "He mixed his pitches better than he has been. He pitched to contact and we made plays for him."
Keeping the ball down was probably the biggest key for Green on Monday, because the Lakers were hitting the ball in the air all day — and with a considerable wind behind them.
Kyler Fulford led off the bottom of the first inning by lifting a two-strike pitch that carried beyond the left-field fence, and Shakamak later got solo flies from Brodie Crowe — his first of the season, another surprising stat — and Christian Burris.
"We don't usually hit the ball in the air," Sweet said. "But if you're going to put some in the air, today was a good day to do it."
When it was suggested to him that his first-inning drive had looked like a popup off the bat, Fulford said, "That's what I was thinking too. There was a strong breeze, and I got it high enough to get it over [the fence]."
"That was a really huge at-bat for us," Sweet said of Fulford's homer. "[White River Valley starter Ethan] Sparks has had a lot of experience, and we knew he wouldn't be easy to deal with."
The Lakers added an unearned run later in the first inning, although Sparks escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam without further damage. The home team added at least a run in every other inning but one, however, and ended the game early with a sixth-inning rally that included an error and back-to-back-to-back doubles by Brett Yeryar, Crowe and Burris.
Green walked two and hit a batter, but the Lakers turned a double play behind him in the second inning and Fulford thwarted the Wolverines' only threat in the sixth.
An error and the hit batter put two runners on with one out and Andrew Hamilton hit a soft liner to right-center that looked like his team's first hit. Fulford raced in and caught the ball while going to his knees, however.
"[Green] came up to me [after that play] and said 'Thank you, I needed that,' " Fulford said.
Bedwell, who gave up only a leadoff double in the bottom of the first to Bobby Moore of the Eels, also got some defensive help when he needed it.
In the first inning, both Moore and an Eminence batter who walked tried to steal bases and were thrown out by Union catcher Michael Christy. Over the next four innings, Bedwell allowed just one baserunner — on an error — and had nine strikeouts.
Union had scored in the top of the first when Matt Snead singled, stole second and advanced the next two bases on a grounder and a passed ball. The Bulldogs also scored in the second on a hit by Raylee Mesey, a two-out error and a run-scoring infield hit by Sterling Langley.
Heading into the bottom of the sixth, then, Bedwell seemed to be cruising — only to walk the bottom two hitters in the Eminence batting order to start the inning. Moore, the only Eminence batter to make consistent contact all day, ripped a line drive but left fielder Jared Reynolds robbed him with a running, back-handed, knee-high catch.
Bedwell then retired the remaining five batters without incident, and his team gave him some insurance runs in the top of the seventh on two walks, a bunt single and two wild pitches.
"[Bedwell] had one little bump there," coach Todd Gambill of the Bulldogs said after the game, "but his left fielder picked him up with a really good catch … we didn't hit very well, but we were able to scratch out a couple runs and get a little bit of a lead."
Asked if the burly Reynolds was often a defensive hero, Gambill said, "If he gets to them, he catches them. He doesn't have a whole lot of range, but he lumbered over and made a good catch today."
Brett Yeryar retired three straight Union batters in the top of the first inning Monday night, and the Lakers had two on with none out when the rain increased.
Although one attempt was made to uncover the field and play again, the rain resumed in earnest at that point, quickly making the field unplayable.

Navi Pillay
Lateline: On 27 September, in an interview with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, the presenter posed a question that inaccurately paraphrased the Prime Minister's statements earlier that day, specifically: "Just today our very new Prime Minister Tony Abbott has expressed the hope that asylum seekers that arrive by boats would be no more than a passing irritant for his Government and for the Indonesians. How do you feel about a world leader describing asylum seekers as irritants?"
The ABC acknowledges a question that better paraphrases Mr Abbott's comments would have been: "How do you feel about a world leader describing the boats issue as a passing irritant between Australia and Indonesia?". View the interview.

Yankees and Sox battle it out again
The surprisingly close AL East race will once again be between the traditional powers
For the third straight year, Baseball Prospectus is kicking off spring training for Insider with an early look at the PECOTA projected standings. A lot can change between now and Opening Day due to injuries and roster machinations, but over the course of this week BP will provide an early prognostication of how each division will play out.
For the past three seasons, the ultra-competitive American League East has been contested among the Yankees, Red Sox and Rays. That won't change in 2011, although the plucky, small-market Rays will have a harder task than ever before due to an offseason in which their roster suffered great losses to free agency. The Orioles will be less of a pushover than they have been in recent years and the Blue Jays will continue to be solid if unspectacular, but given the capabilities of the teams at the top of the standings, their progress will be difficult to see with the naked eye.
Baseball Prospectus' projection system, PECOTA, forecasts the performance of every player in baseball from the majors to the minors. These projections, combined with estimates of playing time, allow us to project the standings. This is how it sees baseball's toughest division shaking out in 2011.
Boston Red Sox: 92-70 (projected 2011 record)
To see why Baseball Prospectus thinks the AL East will be much closer than most people expect, you must be an ESPN Insider.

Featured Book The Idealist by Michael Wayne
The Road to Paradise Island by Victoria Holt is by far the most cerebral novel I'm in right now. CS Lewis' The Four Loves fills my spiritual needs, along with a reread of the book of Colossians. At night, when I need an uplift plus entertainment, I'm reviewing my favorite parts of Slightly Wicked by Mary Balogh, or trying once again to appreciate Norah Roberts. I have a box of hers from my brother-in-law's girlfriend.
Then, of course, I'm also trying to learn Spanish. So I have a Spanish nonfiction primar from the library. And my goal this week is to teach the school kiddos how to read an autobiography.

Reed, 34, was drafted in the first round of the 2002 draft by Baltimore and has spent his entire NFL career with the Ravens.
Reed, who appeared at a news conference Friday morning in Houston, was a free agent and has agreed to a three-year deal worth $15 million, including $5 million guaranteed, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Reed totaled 61 interceptions in 160 NFL games. He led the league in interceptions three times.
Reed had four interceptions and 58 tackles in the regular season last year in helping the Ravens to the Super Bowl.
"That's 11 years that's just storybook," Reed said of leaving the Ravens. "I'm proud to say the last game was the Super Bowl in Baltimore. That will never be taken back."
He said he's "always be grateful to my fans, the city -- so many things."

Crips and Bloods Stand TOGETHER At Occupy Atlanta
According to an article at the Huffington Post, the Occupy Movement is doing more than just bringing together people of different races and ethnicites.
Occupy is also bringing together young people of different gangs.
For Sherrod Britton and Shabaka Addae Guillory, the different colors they rep means little in the face of the widespread corruption and economic inequality they see in today's America. They've put their differences aside and stood together at recent Occupy Atlanta protests.

Apple exhausts initial supply of iPhone 5S
Gold model runs out first; other colors backed up 7-10 working days in U.S.
Computerworld - Within minutes of its sales debut early today, Apple's iPhone 5S was already in short supply, with shipping dates 7-10 business days from ordering in the U.S.
The gold-tinted model was in the shortest supply: Apple's online store said the somewhat-flashier smartphone would not ship until an undisclosed date in October.
Apple kicked off online sales of the iPhone 5S at 12:01 a.m. PT, 3:01 a.m. ET.
A Computerworld editor who placed an order for a gold iPhone 5S just two minutes after the virtual doors opened was told his smartphone would ship in 1-3 business days, and that the phone would arrive between Sept. 30 and Oct. 2.
He was among the lucky. Not long after that, inventories emptied and shipping dates slipped, with first the gray model selling out, then the white. By 9 a.m. ET, the gray and white models were showing 7-10 business days before shipping in all storage space configurations for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon.
Other markets saw the same sell-outs. In Hong Kong, the gold iPhone 5S was marked "currently unavailable," while the other tints were to ship next month. In China, the gold iPhone was expected to ship in October, while gray and white models displayed a 7-10 business day delay.
Europeans will have to wait as well: At 9 a.m. ET, all models of all colors of the iPhone 5S were tagged as shipping next month in France, Germany and the U.K.
iPhone shortages are nothing new: When the iPhone 5 went on sale a year ago -- Apple took pre-orders for its flagship in 2012 -- the company drained stocks within an hour and shoved back shipping dates by two weeks.
It sometimes takes months for Apple to reach a supply and demand balance.
Most analysts, however, believed that the iPhone 5S would be in especially short supply due to a component pinch of some kind, most likely the new fingerprint scanner or the A7 system-on-a-chip (SoC) at the core of the phone. They have speculated that Apple passed on pre-orders for the flagship this year because of the smaller-than-usual stocks.
Apple's retail stores, those of its partners -- including Best Buy and Walmart -- and the mobile carrier's outlets also start selling the iPhone 5S today. If the past is any clue, the brick-and-mortar stores will sell out if not today, then during the weekend.
Some Wall Street experts predicted bullish sales numbers, but have included the less-expensive iPhone 5C in their tallies. In a note to clients early Friday, Brian White of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. predicted that Apple would sell between 6 million and 6.5 million new iPhones over the weekend, a 20% to 30% increase over 2012's 5 million in the same period.
Apple began taking pre-orders for the iPhone 5C, which starts at $99 with a two-year contract in the U.S., or $549 without one, a week ago, on Sept. 13.
The iPhone 5C is in much greater supply: In the U.S., Hong Kong and China, all five colors of the plastic-cased smartphone showed shipping times of 1-3 business days after ordering.
Assuming Apple follows past practice, it will announce opening weekend sales numbers on Monday, Sept. 23.

College Hall's history preserved in time capsule
Published by University of Leicester Press Office for University of Leicester in Education and also in Communities
Notes, relics and memorabilia commemorating a former University of Leicester hall of residence will be buried in a time capsule at the site.
The time capsule will be buried at the Grade II listed College Hall buildings on Knighton Road to celebrate the site's 40 year history - and mark its transition into a state-of-the-art conference venue.
Professor Sir Robert Burgess, Vice-Chancellor of the University, and Steve Crawford, Centre Director, will bury the capsule at the opening of the University's new College Court conference venue on Tuesday, 1 October.
The capsule will contain a range of objects recovered from the former student halls during the £14 million redevelopment - including postcards, beer mats and an Action Man from the 1960s.
It will also include notes from staff recounting their experiences of the building.
A plaque will be placed above the capsule, with instructions for the box to be opened after 50 years.
October 1 will mark the first day of business for the new centre - with bookings on the calendar all the way up to December 2015.
The development will update the existing College Hall site, which was originally designed by renowned architects Sir Leslie Martin and Trevor Dannatt in the 1960s.
Up to 160 guests will be able to stay in stylish bedrooms with balconies overlooking the venue's elegant courtyards and the University's Attenborough Arboretum.
The development will also house 18 conference rooms, 123 en suite bedrooms, restaurant, bar, private dining room and garden lounge.
The Grade II listed buildings, located near Queen's Road, have been out of use for around seven years and the team at College Court are looking forward to reopening and welcoming their first guests.
Charlotte Sanders, Business Development Manager said: "We wanted to celebrate the history behind College Court as it begins a new journey and feel that the time capsule will offer the chance to capture some lost treasures.
"The opportunity to bury these items that could have been lost under old floorboards and behind walls is wonderful and we look forward to rediscovering the items in 2063 when the time capsule will be reopened."
Steve Crawford, Centre Director said: "To celebrate and commemorate the next phase in the life of College Court, we have captured items from its days as College Hall while at the same time providing information on the recent development, both in terms of the extensive build and the new customers that we are bringing to the city."
Anyone with any personal memories or items they feel should be documented is invited to email: email@example.com

My friends knew his friends and vise versa but I still dream about him. This only makes me more angry about how truly pathetic this situation is. I hate when this happens, I idealise a guy, make him seem like he is the only one that he is perfect in everyway when I actually don't even know the guy. I wish that I could just get over him. I wish I could just move on.

Ame-ya Yoko-cho Market
Ame-ya Yoko-cho Market Review
The sprawling stalls have become especially famous for the traditional prepared foods of the New Year, and, during the last few days of December, as many as half a million people crowd into the narrow alleys under the railroad tracks to stock up for the holiday. The market dates to World War II, when not much besides Ueno Station survived the bombings. Anyone who could make it here from the countryside with rice and other small supplies of food could sell them at exorbitant black-market prices. Sugar was a commodity that couldn't be found at any price in postwar Tokyo. Before long, there were hundreds of stalls in the black market selling various kinds of ame (confections), most made from sweet potatoes. These stalls gave the market its name, Ame-ya Yoko-cho (often shortened to Ameyoko), which means "Confectioners' Alley." Shortly before the Korean War, the market was legalized, and soon the stalls were carrying watches, chocolate, ballpoint pens, blue jeans, and T-shirts that had somehow been "liberated" from American PXs. In years to come the merchants of Ameyoko diversified still further—to fine Swiss timepieces and fake designer luggage, cosmetics, jewelry, fresh fruit, and fish. For a break, the area also features numerous small restaurants specializing in raw slices of tuna over rice (maguro-don)—cheap, quick, and very good.

BIRDS, beasts and bipeds abound at the 1987 Winter Antiques Show, the nation's most prestigious antiques extravaganza, opening today in previews and tomorrow to the public for a nine-day run at the Seventh Regiment Armory.
Figural images - especially in sculpture - add up to the strongest trend at the bazaar, in its 33d annual appearance. The theme has grown in recent years and is now seen throughout the fair, at which 74 dealers are showing a bounty of ceramic figures, bronzes, wood carvings, metal garden sculptures, paintings and stitchery. Many of these works have a new boldness, and more than a score are heroic in scale.
''You can admire an abstract work, but it's the figural things that are more personal - that touch you,'' the folk-art dealer Thomas K. Woodard said, explaining why he brought a 19th-century hooked rug of a wide-eyed lion. It is $12,000.
The selections reflect a continuing interest in portraiture and realism, with works ranging in size from a 10-inch-high American architectural fragment of a face from 1860, at Gerald Kornblau, to a 20-inch-high 19th-century lamb, ($175,000 at Hirschl & Adler), to the Japanese Meiji bronze of an eagle with a 10-foot wing span at Michael Goedhuis ($200,000).

"Censorship by Random House Audio :("
Yes, of course - Taleb is writing some of the most applicable and important information available.
Fooled By Randomness and The Black Swan are the first two parts of what might as well be a trilogy.
I'm curious if I was to purchase the book in book form - would Random House have felt the need to protect me from the occasional expletives that are scattered throughout the text to emphasize a point? Because they did with the audio book. Not only did they bleep out anything likely to be considered offensive to a child or maiden aunt of the nineteenth century, they bleeped it out with a BLEEP that is 3-4 times as loud as the rest of the audio - just so you'll be really aware that they protected your delicate ears from the bad words. This has the effect of taking one completely out of the book. The first time it happened was with the word 'bullsh*t' - a pretty innocuous word in this day and age - and I had to rewind half a dozen times to prove to my disbelieving mind that that had really happened. the answer was yes: someone - some pathetic, pewling, pustule at Random House felt that I couldn't be trusted to hear the word 'bullsh*t' without driving off the road in a fit of adolescent angst. I spent the next several minutes in a near-paroxysm of rage that I had been misled into believing I was purchasing the unedited, un-bowdlerized words of an author who - among other things - is one of the leading proponents of what are commonly termed libertarian values. You know, freedom and sh*t. If RH wanted to censor the f*cking book, they should fucking come right out and say so instead of pretending they didn't. I'm deeply offended by this behavior and sincerely hope that Taleb or his agent hears of it and is able to rectify it. Shame on Random House.
Abu Dhabi, UAE
"Somebody is really thinking"
That would not be possible.
There are no other books in this genre.
There is more original thinking on each page of this book than can be found in most libraries.
"good book on topic rarely (if ever) discussed"
We predict trivia (implying we shouldn't be, but instead put some effort into coping with the antifragile events in life).
It provides answers to the issues brought up by The Black Swan, but you need not read TBS to gain from this book.
Haven't finished yet, but the basic premise of the book is what has "grabbed" me thus far (I plod slowly through books like this, but it makes it more helpful that way).
Thank you for bleeping the profanity. (I would've preferred silence to a beep, though.)
"Another Mind Bending Masterpiece"
Taleb has been my favorite author the past 3 years running. I found this latest piece to be another well thought through, consequential, mind bender in the tradition of his previous Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness instalments. My only misgivings with this present work is his medical assertions e.g. describing ADHD kids as needing to be let out of their cage, or his experience of overcoming a back injury without needing surgery. For anyone in my field these arguments erode his credibility as much as Jenny McCarthy claiming immunizations cause autism. He would have been well served to discuss his medical ideas with my peers prior to putting pen to paper or stick to examples from his field of expertise in finance. Otherwise, another bloody good book!
I'm Trying to see the world with my ears.
"This is one of the best books I have read"
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes.
This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It deals with a difficult subject honestly and prompted me to think about the issues surrounding quality of life. Be warned, not a book to read on public transport unless you don't mind having an emotional melt down in public!!
I listen to learn, gain new perspectives, and grow
"The free minds guide to statistical probability"
The fictional Characters in the book might throw you off at first, but as the book moves along it really helps you follow his talking points and makes the book very enjoyable given it relatively dry subject matter
Very well read!
The majority of the book goes over blind spots or subjective fallacies that the majority of the population holds. He makes you aware of these blinds spots in a very methodical way using great examples that will definitively stick with you.
"Maybe not so original"
Three general thoughts about this book:
1. It was generally interesting (although not concise), and made me think about investments in new ways.
2. He claims that his "antifragile" idea is so original, there is no word for it in any of the major languages. The problem with this claim is that any serious student of the Bible will recognize his "new" idea as the old "refiner's fire." Difficulties and hardships help us to grow and improve.
3. It would be better to read this book. LIstening when driving in traffic makes it difficult to give it the level of concentration it deserves.
Finally, he must have been dropped on his head by an academic when he was a baby. He has a level of animosity towards them that makes me grin, but seems unjustified.
"I strongly recommend this book"
Even if I had anything negative to say about this book (which I don't), those negative things would further draw your attention to this book!
There were a lot of comparisons to the markets of today I liked.
Nero and Fat Tony's views of the current economic situation.
Yes, it made me re-evaluate my thinking about the world and how I can better myself by living a less risky life by having the right KIND of risk.
The only negative thing I have to say is that the author promotes his profession as a writer more than I cared to hear.
"Superb work of scholarship"
I thought this would be a book about investing strategy. It is so much more. I will have to buy the hard copy and re-read it several times. There is a lot of meat to digest. Five-star work all the way. Taleb's comparison of the current state of academic research at publish-or-perish institutions with counterfeit watches is spot-on. I do not know of any practitioners in my field who bother to read any of the "leading journals" of academic research. Joe Ochman's narration is also outstanding. He does an excellent job coping with Taleb's broad vocabulary of unfamiliar English words smattered with foreign words like "flâneur." This book will expand your vocabulary if nothing else! I write mainly to voice my strong objection to the producer's decision to bleep Taleb's occasional use of expletives. Taleb is nothing if not a wordsmith and when he inserts an expletive it is for effect, either to show contempt for the idea he is debunking or to get the reader's attention. There is no excuse for the producer inserting a loud "bleep" over words like "bullsh*t." I listened to this book in the car and the bleeps are higher in volume that the surrounding speech. On several occasions, I thought someone was honking at me! The bleeps are unnecessary and disconcerting. May I suggest revising the recorded book to omit the bleeps? An excellent book that deserves a listen from every thoughtful person who is disturbed by current trends in academic research.
physicist, 65 yo, interested in general science, history, philosophy, good fiction, atheism, business, economy, war
"very disappointed."
no substance. no analysis. no deepening. just repetitions and platitudes.
disappointment. waste of time and money.
I was motivated to by buy the book by an interview with Mr. Taleb in "The Economist"

VGX: Destiny Trailer
Amidst all the sure-to-be surprise world premieres at tonight's VGX awards, one that was to be expected was Bungie's latest trailer for Destiny.
Bungie Discuss Destiny's Genre Identity Crisis
Since its reveal, Destiny's hype has only been preceded by the confusion that surrounds it. With one side of the community calling it a first-person shooter/MMO hybrid, whilst the others see it as an RPG, Bungie have finally shed some light on the debate.
Destiny Beta To Be A Timed PS3/PS4 Exclusive
Sony's Playstation 4 All Access event was packed with surprised last night, including the reveal of a new uncharted game. Following that was another massive announcement; that the Destiny beta will be coming first to the PS3 and PS4.
Dev Discusses Microtransactions & More For Destiny
After a short break from the scene, Bungie appear to be back in action; answering various questions concerning their upcoming next-gen hit Destiny.
Discussing space travel, micros transactions and the possibility of a PC port, Community Manager Eric Osborne tore the veil away from some of the game's more intimate features in an interview with IGN.
Destiny Beta Available Through Pre-Order
Those who pre-order Destiny will reportedly gain access to the game's beta in early 2014.
The news surfaced today via an Amazon listing leak early today, and while Bungie are yet to release an official statement, this may very well be the "big news" that the developers teased yesterday.
Destiny Box Art Revealed, New Trailer Tomorrow
Bungie and Activision have today revealed the box art for their upcoming next-gen shooter Destiny.
Gamescom 2013: Destiny Interview
Jess interviews Bungie's Community Manager, David 'DeeJ' Dague, about the studios exciting new IP, Destiny.
After spending 10 years with the definitive Halo franchise, Bungie decided to break away from Microsoft studios to explore other ventures. The byproduct of their hiatus is Destiny - a game already hotly tipped for 2014's Game of the Year.
Watch: Destiny E3 2013 Gameplay Walkthrough

More Destiny at Sony's E3 2013 Conference
As expected, Bungie's highly anticipated shooter, Destiny, will take to the stage at Sony's E3 press conference next week; which was confirmed on Twitter last night.
Whilst many people may have expected Destiny to feature at Sony's conference, some Microsoft fans may feel slighted, as this surely means that we'll see even more tasty exclusive content for Playstation owners - which they hope will rival Microsoft's content exclusivity of Call of Duty: Ghosts.

There are a good deal of things that we don't know about the PlayStation 4 but from what we do know, this is going to be a beast among consoles. The reveal event for the console promised more power, a better online experience than what PlayStation Network currently offers and the capability for some truly gorgeous games.
But you know us, we're all about shooters. First-person, third-person...it doesn't really make a difference. So, naturally when I heard about the PlayStation 4, I started getting excited for a new breed of console shooters.
There are a few promising shooters coming to the PlayStation 4 that we know of already, but not all games are created equal. Without further ado, here are my Top 3 Most-Anticipated PlayStation 4 Shooters!
Note: this is the first edition of our list, as more games are announced for the upcoming next-gen console, we will release an update to this list. Like any good first edition, this one will be worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the future.
Bungie Reveals Destiny Artwork and Video at GDC
We're a little late to the party with this one, but Bungie revealed some gorgeous new artwork and a video for Destiny. This fresh look at Destiny comes from the Game Developer's Conference that took place last week in San Francisco.
You can check out the video above, but be sure to check past the break for a whole slew of new concept art and images from the world of Destiny!
Bungie Files Handful of Trademarks, Are These Related to Destiny?
It looks like Bungie is getting ready for the future of Destiny as they file a handful of trademark applications. We don't explicitly know that these are Destiny related, but as Bungie isn't currently working on any other known projects, we think it's safe to assume.
The trademarks were filed for the following:
These applications are for protection for a number of uses including 'interactive game software; audio books in the nature of novels, comic books, graphic novels, posters, Halloween costumes' and so, so much more. Likely, most of these uses are 'just in case' measures and we probably won't see most of them come to fruition. But don't forget that Destiny is an Activision-published game and they are ambitious, if nothing else.
I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see Destiny pushed as hard as possible and if that includes a Halloween costume for that guy at the top of this post, count me in.

Bungie's Latest Mail Sack Reveals New Destiny Concept Art
Bungie Studios made headlines this week with the announcement that their Halo-sucessor Destiny would be arriving on the PlayStation 4 in addition to both current generation consoles.
With a franchise that is projected to span 10 years, it makes sense that Destiny would end up on next-generation consoles but it's great to hear that players won't have to wait long to get their hands on the next-gen version of the game, as it will likely ship alongside the PlayStation 4 this Holiday season. In their latest Mail Sack, Bungie developers have answered a bunch of fan questions on the world of Destiny and even revealed a brand new piece of concept art which you can see above.
In the Mail Sack, Bungie talked briefly about the PlayStation 4 announcement and pre-order incentives. On that second front, they said:
There are three pre-order incentives currently available at select, participating retailers. There's a two-sided poster available at GameStop and EB Games Canada featuring artwork of the Traveler over Earth on one side, and the Fallen on the other. Select retailers outside of the US also have the Traveler art, but the B-side is occupied by the Cabal. We're working to get the full list of non-US participants, but if you ring up your local shop, they should be able to confirm whether or not they're on the list.
If you pre-order through Amazon.com, they're currently offering a digital wallpaper featuring the Destiny logo and the inky, black starfield backdrop you're probably well familiar with.

Bungie's Destiny Officially Coming to PlayStation 4
Last night, Sony officially lifted the lid on the PlayStation 4 and with that announcement came a slew of new titles being revealed. In the case of Bungie's Halo-successor Destiny, we learned that it would not only ship on the PlayStation 3 but the next-generation PlayStation 4 as well.
This news was not entirely unexpected as Destiny is projected to span across multiple titles for the next 10 years. With the PlayStation 3's lifespan gradually coming to an end over the last year, it was inevitable that Destiny would arrive on the PlayStation 4 in some capacity but it's great to hear none the less. At last night's Sony event, Bungie's Jason Jones was on hand to make the announcement.
Jones said that he felt that Destiny and the PlayStation 4 are a great fit together because both the game and the console are always connected and make such good use of that connectivity.
Chances are, Destiny will also be arriving on the next-generation Xbox 360 but we'll have to wait a little bit longer until Microsoft is ready to start talking about that console. In the meantime, check out Destiny at http://www.destinythegame.com/.
Bungie Unveils Destiny With Dev Diary & Website Launch!
Bungie Studios has officially unveiled Destiny, their anticipated follow-up to the iconic Halo franchise! Check out the video documentary above, entitled "Pathways Out of Darkness" and be sure to visit the brand new website at http://www.destinythegame.com/!
Destiny Promo Materials Arrive at Gamestop
Destiny might not be revealed until this Sunday, but that doesn't meant that all is quiet on that front. Buzz over Bungie Studios' next game has steadily been building over the last few months and it's all coming to a head this weekend. Arriving at Gamestop in advance of Sunday's announcement are some promotional materials for the game, showing some concept art and offering scant details about what the game has to offer.
According to the materials, players will be able to create a unique character and unlock weapons, gear and vehicles in the game world of Destiny. The game is billed as a first-person shooter with both competitive and cooperative aspects to it, including 'public and social activities'. The posters themselves are pretty barebones, featuring key art and some character shots with the word "Fallen" emblazoned across one, in stylized text.
Check them out after the break and make sure you stay tuned to FPS General as we follow this weekend's big unveiling!

- Domestic Oil Drilling
Still Not a Solution to Rising Gas Prices
Overview - More domestic oil drilling will have no effect on the current spike in gasoline prices. It's time to move beyond our dependence on oil and seek alternatives such as clean energy and fuel efficiency.
Documents Tagged Gulf in All Sections
- The Gulf's Dolphin Die-Off
Fact Sheet - Researchers found that bottlenose dolphins in Barataria Bay, Louisiana, an area that was heavily exposed to oil from the BP Deepwater Horizon spill, were underweight and anemic, with suppressed immune systems and signs of liver and lung disease. In this fact sheet, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) compares the new mortalities to prior strandings of Gulf dolphins and probes their connection to the BP spill.
- What's At Stake
The Ecological and Economic Future of the Florida Keys
Fact Sheet - In the Florida Keys, the natural and human communities are intertwined. The health of living barrier coral reef that exists nowhere else in North America is tied to that of the mangrove trees that fringe the islands and the submerged seagrass beds and patch reefs in between. The Florida wildlife that thrives in this unique environment relies on these habitats to be healthy, just as we, in turn, depend on them to support food, recreation, and valuable jobs. But these resources -- and the livelihoods and way of life they support -- are threatened by the growing Gulf oil disaster. We must protect our valuable marine life to ensure the ecological and economic future of the Florida Keys. Get document in pdf.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Does anyone listen anymore? Is social media eroding what is left of social etiquette? Job interview skills?
It sure seems that way. I came across an article today about college graduates texting and talking their way out of job offers. Among other things, I might add. In some cases, they couldn't sit still long enough in an interview with a prospective boss without reaching for the smartphone. Dumb move. A would be employer still wants someone with an attention span longer than 140 characters or the next cell phone ring, and language skills involving more than social media shorthand.
Click here for the full story in USA Today.
It all reminds me of what a noted writer once said. He told college graduates we have more information at our fingertips than any of us possibly could have imagined until the late 20th century. But he noted we are not necessarily any wiser for it. Or quieter and more reflective. He could have been talking about all of us, not just college graduates. It is worth thinking about before that next text message or bolt down the noisy information highway.

Volkswagen just unveiled its latest crossover concept, the Taigun, which previews what an Up!-based compact SUV could look like.
It's no surprise that Volkswagen is planning several new crossovers for the market, but the German automaker has revealed that its Polo-based compact SUV will be the first one spun off its new MQB platform.
Last week we reported how German automaker Volkswagen has several crossovers planned in its pipeline, and now we can add a Bulli-based CUV onto that list.

How to Record Video With Kinect
Edited by Jacko360, TechFlash1, Tasha, Denise and 3 others
Kinect for Xbox is one of the bestselling electronics around. One problem, though. Microsoft don't offer a video-recording app for recording video with the inbuilt camera. To get video, it would take lots of code-changing and hacking. There is an easier way, luckily:
Edit Steps
1Connect the Xbox to a HDMI to USB cable or something to record the screen and connect to a computer.
2Turn on the Xbox and load the Video Kinect app from the Xbox website. You will see a live image at the side.
3On the computer, use Video Pad Video Editor to capture the screen with its 'capture video' feature
4Once finished recording, the video will appear in your project. Use the crop effect and crop the video so you can not see the app, just the kinect video.
5Save the video as a movie.
6And your done. The video should be in 640x480 resolution.

Pan-Arab railway: myth or fact?
A railway network spanning the Arab world seems like it may never happen, but the global downturn may help make it a reality.
May 5, 2009 9:18 by Nathalie Bontems
"This all appears to the public as bits and pieces because these projects are advertised as part of national plans," says Safwat. "But they're all incorporated and based on the agreement."
Although he's unable to give a completion date, Safwat is optimistic: "In 2003, people said that this was merely a nice dream. Now that we are seeing things happen, estimates are better. I'd say it would take another 15 years to complete the whole project."
Industry experts think the global downturn should help lift whatever reluctance remains. Years before the credit crunch, ESCWA estimated that "railways are of international importance in the Arab Mashreq and should therefore be accorded priority in the formulation of national plans." Today that economic pressure applies even more. At a follow-up conference organized in Beirut in early April by the ESCWA, Lebanese Transport Minister Ghazi Aridi explained, "adding [railways] has a positive effect on the economy in the Arab world, especially during the current worldwide crisis," adding that "Lebanon has a great advantage in the field because of its special location on the Mediterranean and the increased activity of Beirut Port."
"There's no doubt the crisis is contributing positively, as there's a need to expand the infrastructure," says Safwat, adding that the port of Beirut would benefit from improved connections to neighboring countries.
Arab authorities are so enthusiastic that last January, the Arab Railway Project (ARP) – an extension of the Mashreq railway – was adopted in Kuwait at the Arab Economic, Social and Development Summit. The ARP plans to extend three of the Mashreq network's 26 routes, as well as adding two new lines in North Africa. Iran has also expressed its readiness to help develop these rail systems.
In the end, this expansive network would connect Europe, Asia and Africa.
Arab countries are now thinking big – far beyond their own borders.

Population Dynamics and Life History of the Mangrove Crab Aratus Pisonii (Brachyura, Grapsidae) in a Marine Environment
Authors: Díaz, Humberto; Conde, Jesús Eloy
Source: Bulletin of Marine Science, Volume 45, Number 1, July 1989 , pp. 148-163(16)
Publisher: University of Miami - Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science
Aratus pisonii commonly inhabits the supralittoral zone of roots, branches and canopy of the red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle. Population dynamics and life history of this crab were studied during a 2-year investigation in a marine environment. Adult crab abundance was estimated with a mark-recapture program at 13 sites. Males attain greater carapace widths (CW) than females. The CW frequency distributions were similar through time, being more symmetrical for females, but strongly skewed to the left for males. Females were significantly more abundant. Sex ratios fluctuated within the year; however, there were no significant differences between years or seasons. A U-shaped sex ratio curve as a function of size was found. A continuously low juvenile abundance was detected throughout the study. Ovigerous females were continuously present in the population during the study. Their percentage fluctuated through time, with the highest value in the last trimester, coinciding with the rainy season. Number of eggs per female increased as a linear function of carapace width, having a mean of 11,577 eggs and extremes of 3,724 and 27,134. No conspicuous crab migrations were observed; marked individuals reappeared consistently at the sites where they had been marked even 5 months after marking. Carapace width and length showed a high isometric correlation for both sexes. Females tend to have a longer intermolting time than males, although the difference is not statistically significant.Document Type: Research Article
