Analyst: Profitability hasn't grown for Western developers
At the Edinburgh Interactive Conference, BMO Capital Markets' Edward Williams told attendees that the gaming market has suffered "significant disruption" to its business model.
"For Western publishers, profitability hasn't grown at all in the past few years and that's before we take 2009 into account," he said while stating that the opposite could be claimed from the Chinese sector.
Chinese firms were seeing improved profits due to the PC market and direct download methods rather than the traditional way used by Western firms releasing titles on DVD per retail outlets. Developers in China also do not have to pay as much in royalties to console makers because of the low number of console users.
Three factors, Williams explained, are causing the Western games market to decline:
- Games are getting larger, which meant longer development time and larger staff costs.
- In the 1990s the PlayStation accounted for 80% of the market, today the console space is very fragmented, so developers have to work on many platforms at any one time.
- The cost of licensing intellectual property or gaining official sports body endorsement (such as FIFA or FIA) has gone up.
Speaking to the BBC, Peter Moore agreed that while there's a difference in the markets, Westerner will start warming up to digital distribution soon.
"In China, PC and mobile platforms will continue to dominate," he said. "There isn't the necessity to buy other pieces of hardware and it is our job to service that. In Europe we are going to see more content that's delivered electronically, be that through Steam, Xbox Live or whatever."
"The release of Tiger Woods online as a free to play experience will be the real test of the Western consumer's appetite for digital downloading."

GTA IV as a system seller will favour PS3, says analysts
Speaking in this Reuters report, analysts Michael Pachter and Edward Williams have both said that they expect GTA IV will help move more PS3 hardware than Xbox 360s.
If sales come in at the high end of that range, the game will directly spur sales of 2 million additional PS3s in 2008, versus 1 million Xbox 360s, reckons Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan.
"I think PS3 'wins' this battle," Pachter said…
"So many people who owned the PS2 went into PlayStation family because of 'GTA'. The release of 'GTA4′ could expedite their decision to upgrade," said Edward Williams, an analyst with BMO Capital Markets.

Alright, so a couple of days ago I was talking to a friend of mine in class. And we began to talk about religion. Now I'm far from the kind of person that likes to showcase my views on things, But I told him I was an Atheist. He Actually didn't believe me at first, and said that people have to take a oath to become an atheist. We literally argued about this for 5 whole minutes before I finally said lets go to an computer and get google the definition. after I showed him what atheism actually is, He still retained doubt. I just said forget it, and ended the conversation on it there.
What I'm asking is how long will people remain that ignorant on atheism. It's not like he's dumb when it comes to other topics. He says He's a christian and he never even read the bible. And when I told him and another friend I read it They Laughed. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention one of the guys laughing has a tattoo that says "blessed" on his chest. And he never read the bible. That's just stupid to me, But I kinda want to know what other people think about this.
Tags: Atheism, Christianity
I think with the advent of the inernet, people who question religion will now have a huge resource to find that they are not alone, 25 years ago, where could you go? It's only a matter of time, perhaps 40 or 50 years away when believers are in the minority.
It will happen, religion dedest knowledge.
hi there. here in the philippines which is a pre-dominantly catholic country, most people have never read the bible. or some might have read it but never really understand what it says. that's the main problem here in our country. most people rely on blind faith and never really bother to search for the truth. they find comfort in their religion. specially those who are desperate for help, like those with terminal illnesses. religion is taught at the first instance of comprehension here so "faith" is indoctrinated at a very early age which guarantees deep roots. Atheism is taught here as the work of the devil or something really really bad. Guilt is often used to discourage people from thinking out of the theist's box. so as to your question, i think it will still be a very long time before people understand what the atheists' believe. Although I am very optimistic that with the development of technologies which expose more people to other schools of thought, the answer to your question can be seen in our lifetime.
The people you are chatting with are what I would refer to as convenient Christians since it is a matter of convenience that they refer to themselves as such so as to "fit". Convenient Christians don't understand atheists or atheism because they don't understand the doctrine by which they label themselves having never actually sat and read it nor would most understand it were they to do so. They require a mediator in the same way I require a mediator to understand physics. The problem for them is that the mediatior for the faith they claim to believe in only speaks of the positive narrative of the faith and often in his own words thereby cleaning it up to sound as cozy as possible. And that thier parents, siblings and friends all claim to follow the same faith so there is a sort of club mentality in which questioning one person in the club is to question all members. Peer pressure is a powerful thing. These folks know that for you to question the belief they claim to ally themselves with is to challenge not just them but the entire group, so you and they both know you are outnumbered. Just remember that facts don't care who's side you are on and that the veneer these individuals are wearing is quite thin and remarkably sensitive. Keep poking at it, you'll see.
Egocentrism; the belief that your views are everyone else's and that they chose not to believe in god and commit evil. I have in the past been called a "satanist" and a "pagan" i tried to explain atheism to these people but they were devout muslims, fortunately all of my friends when i was in school were smart and understood what an atheist was, even if they weren't
When do you think people will finally start to understand atheism?
Has anyone here pointed out that "people" (a too-generic term) will understand atheism when an asymptote (a line that continually approaches a given curve but does not meet it at any finite distance) reaches that curve?
Or, choose any direction you wish and travel in that direction until you reach the horizon. Take a few lunches with you.
People seem to cherish ignorance in certain subjects. It seems to mean that they don't need to defend their knowledge because they have none! It IS belief after all.
I think people will only really understand atheism when we, as in all the atheist, become more active in voicing our ideas and show were not what religious perceive us to be. In the US around 10% of the population are atheist yet no there is no representation in politics, etc. I think atheists need to come together more and raise the issue of intolerance towards us. Once this begins to happen I think more people will 'come out' and it will become a lot more acceptable to be atheistic.
And on Christians reading the bible I think very few of them do. I was brought up a Christian in a family of 6 and I am the only one yet to have read it and my family don't believe that I have either. Even yesterday we were arguing about religion and my mother was laughing at me about it. She also has the opinion that I do believe in God and that I'm trying to convince myself that I don't just 'to be different'.
Ya, it's a real catch 22, people's gullibility and lack of common sense really become evident when it comes to idea's about atheist. And the intolerance of some people is despicable, I'm lucky enough that most of the people I work with are atheists, and those who aren't are very open to.
I cannot wait until the day someone takes a law suit for unfair dismissal for being an atheist. Will be a great day!
Ghost, they believe because they were indoctrinated as children by people they trust. They know those people wouldn't normally, deliberately lie to them, so they swallow it all, hook, line and sinker. What they never stop to think about, is that those who indoctrinated them, were similarly indoctrinated when THEY were children, and so it goes --
Dear Folks:
We could just consider atheism on parr with calculus, or quantum mechanics. If you study deeply and well, new insights are found and your personal perspective grows. You could consider theism as the 'doggy and horseys' version of enlightenment, but if your lucky and walk into the back alley, where the light is better, the truely wonderful stuff trashes your personal vanity, and kills the childish metaphors. It is unclear if the 'sleeper has awakened', but it might be a close second....
I had the same issue arise recently with my own mom. I told her before, but I have to keep telling her that I am an atheist. She thought - and personally still think - that she thinks atheism is devil worship. She doesn't care what I believe - not that it would matter anyways - and I am fine with that.
The general consensus is so lazy to look anything up for themselves, that I am thoroughly convinced that I could convince somebody that the sky is actually orange and appears blue only to us (provided I caught them on a good day, probably after that said person came out of a revival service). Once people get over their laziness, maybe then we can better explain ourselves.
So far as discussing the matter with people, if I attempt to discuss anything with anyone who hasn't taken the prior time to research an issue out for themselves, I am immediately annoyed and offended with the individual. It is rude and discourteous to put on a facade of being educated, and to try and initiate a discussion because they saw a single video or read a singular article or quip somewhere. And everybody should know damn well what I am talking about. The quips like "God doesn't believe in people who don't believe in him.", or "Why, this nation was founded on Christian virtues.", and "You can't explain why I am a human and monkeys are still around.". Those are the ones I selected living in the Bible Belt my entire life, having heard them every five minutes.

FORT CARSON, COLO. -- Fort Carson officials said five soldiers are in the hospital recovering from injuries after rolling their Army M1151 during training Wednesday morning.
Officials said they were training Camp Red Devil, about 15 miles south of the main post, when they rolled the high mobility multipurpose wheeled M1151.
Medical personnel used both ambulances and helicopters to take the soldiers to various hospitals.
Officials said they don't know the condition of any of them and don't know how the crash happened, but they are investigating.
All five soldiers are from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division.

When ice and snow blanket Tulsa, we find ourselves inside, bundled up, deliberating the objective of prying ourselves from our knitted cocoon. Our patience dwindles with the radiowaves housed in their picture box, and somehow, simultaneously, there is this chasm that provokes our thoughts to become a little more visceral and in tune with all aspects to nature and exploring this new season. Our minds go blank.
There are many ways to bring in this chilly season that do not involve facing the cold at all. So press pause on A Christmas Story (you know you've seen it 30 times -- Ralphie will forgive you) and give winter a chance.
1. Something Tropical. For many of us, a vacation to the tropics is just not going to happen. While you may be dreaming of warm weather and waterfalls, Tulsa does offer an alternative to the cold for those of us on a budget.
The Tulsa Zoo, 6421 E. 36th St. North, is a great place to go to during the winter months, especially the Tropical Rainforest Exhibit. The lush vegetation and the exotic bird calls create an oasis that allows you to forget all the icy weather outside. Tropical birds, monkeys and warm humid air will be sure to bring you back to a place when you didn't need six layers to take out the trash. The only thing that is missing is a drink with an umbrella.
The zoo is open daily from 9am to 5pm and is only $8 for adults and $4 for children. During January and February, the zoo offers half-price admission on Saturdays and Sundays. There are many exhibits inside the 84-acre park, so you don't have to stand out in the cold to have a good time.
2. Have It Your Way. You can get it three-way or four-way, cheesy or spicy, with or without beans. It's the one food that has about as many combinations as it has followers. It's the go to food when you are cold and want to get filled up on delicious meatiness. We're talking, of course, about chili.
Finding a bowl of chili in Tulsa is not hard, but finding the best bowl of chili is somewhat of a challenge. Two of Tulsa's long-standing chili traditions are Ike's, 5941 E. Admiral Place, and Ron's Hamburgers, 6548 E. 51st St. Both establishments have mastered the fine art of perfecting the substantial dish.
Ron's has been around since 1975 and is well-known for not only their chili but also their hamburgers.
Ike's Chili has been in business since 1908. They put their hearty chili on French fries, hamburgers and hot dogs, and make Frito chili pie as well. Don't let the humble outdoor décor fool you, inside you will find good food in a business that has survived for more than 100 years.
3. North Pole Meets the South. To occupy your mind during the long days of winter you might want to head down to the Jenks Aquarium, 300 Aquarium Drive. With a feeding schedule year round and many winter events to entertain you, you'll be sure to find something at the aquarium that will help you occupy your time.
Most of the exhibits are outside, so you don't have to face the wintery weather. There will be a photo shoot with Scuba Santa for the kids where they can get their picture taken with an underwater Santa Claus, no towel needed.
The Aquarium is open year round, with the exception of Christmas Day, from 10am-6 pm. The cost is only $13.95 for adults and $9.95 for children.
4. Men on Ice. Hockey is one of the most interesting sports to watch, and whether it is the fast-paced game itself or the notorious fights, every Tulsa Oilers' game is entertaining.
Head out to the BOK Center, 200 S. Denver, to catch one of the Oilers' 33 home games this season as the team looks to improve on last year's finish.
Throughout the season, there will be special promotion nights such as $2 Beer Tuesdays, Ladies' Night Fridays and Sunday Family Fundays. The tickets start at $10 and you can take a peek at their schedule posted online at tulsaoilers.com.
5. Bowling for Beer. Not many sports go hand-in-hand with drinking, but bowling seems to be one of the few sports where your skills are actually enhanced by the consumption of alcohol.
One place that marries the two activities is Sheridan Lanes, 3121 S. Sheridan Road. On Friday and Saturday nights, the alley is even open from 9am until 2am and every other night from 9am until midnight. The alley offers all types of snacks to enjoy and the rates to bowl are pretty cheap too -- only $5.10 per game and $3.75 for shoe rental.
Another local favorite is Andy B's, 8711 S. Lewis. Andy B's offers glow bowling and recently, indoor go-karts have been added to the venue. The alley is open late, from 9am until midnight, Monday through Thursday, and from 9am until 2 am on Friday and Saturday. The price per game is less than $5 and shoe rental is only $2.99.
6. Tiny Dancer. The Tulsa Ballet, 1212 E. 45th Place, has a little something for everyone. Contemporary and classical dance fans alike can find a performance that suits their taste in this single venue. The Tulsa ballet reaches more than 40,000 spectators annually and is recognized as being of the same caliber as some of the best ballet companies in the world.
With shows such as the Nutcracker and Winter Celebration, you can get into the holiday spirit without having to face the bitter cold. The live music and captivating talent of the performers is sure to make the show one that is unforgettable.
Tickets begin at $15 and increase in price according to seating. For a list scheduled performances, visit tulsaballet.org.
7. Movie night. Movie theatres always have the temperature under control -- never too hot or cold -- and Circle Cinema, 10 S. Lewis, is no exception to the rule.
Showing several flicks you probably haven't seen before, Tulsa's own little independent movie theatre is a great spot to keep warm. On Friday and Saturday nights during the last weekend of every month at midnight, they play cult classic films. Tickets at Circle Cinema are $8.50 and $6.50 if you get there before 5pm.
Another great place to go when you want to catch a flick is AMC, 4923 E. 51st St. It's only $8.50 to get in and $7 for the matinee. This movie theatre tends to be very accommodating -- not too loud, clean and, of course, will keep you warm when it is cold outside.
8. Fun for Grown-ups. While the restaurant is not new, Tulsa has had its own Dave and Buster's, 6812 S. 105th E. Ave., for a short time now.
Here, you can find a variety of cocktails, American style food favorites -- all for a reasonable price. There are many arcade-style games to play -- this place is practically an Incredible Pizza or Chuck E. Cheese's for adults. For $15.99 you can chose between 8 different entrée items and receive a $10 game card.
This place is perfecting for throwing parties and having get-togethers.
On Monday through Thursday, the restaurant is open from 11am to 12am and Friday and Saturday from 11am to 1am.
9. Head Into the Kitchen. During the winter holiday, an influx of relatives and friends are sure to show up at your doorstep, in hopes that after their long travels there will be the reward of a home-cooked meal. Cooking at home is a wonderful way to keep your home toasty and to show your guests that you actually want them around.
Not everyone was born Julia Child, so special preparations need to be made to make sure that synchronized dance that you do in the kitchen actually ends up in creating something that is edible.
The Stock Pot, 7223 E. 41st St., offers cooking classes for those who made need a brushing up on their cooking skills or anyone who wants to know how to cook something new. Classes are held Tuesday through Friday, first come first serve, for $45 per person.
The Stock Pot also offers a class with Chef Nobu from Fuji's restaurant on the first Tuesday of every month. Students will not only learn how to correctly make sushi rice, but will get a chance to make several different types of sushi as well. The cost for the class is $45 and lasts two hours.
10. Bright Lights, Cold Nights. Since 1982, Rhema Bible School has been providing Tulsans with a free light show. The show begins on Thanksgiving Day and continues through New Years Day.
More than 1.8 million lights are used to make the Rhema campus a spectacle for you to explore. The main event of this illuminating light show is the bridge -- its lights stay in sync with holiday tunes, a combined effort of more than 70,000 lights. Visitors are welcomed to drive through the display or take in the sights on foot.
For those seeking a more intimate setting, carriage rides will be available on certain nights. The cost for the carriage rides are only $10 for every adult and $5 for every child. The key in staying warm is the hot cider, sip on this as you peruse and it is sure to keep you warm. Concession food and photo ops with Santa will all be available at the event as well.
11. Hot Yoga. We are animals, and we are not exempt from getting fattened up during the winter like other mammals. Winter is the hardest season to begin an exercising plan. You can't really go outdoors and play sports or engage in some aerobic endeavor because it is too cold.
One place though that can help you get into shape and is always warm is Tulsa Yoga Quest, 5539 E. 41st St. They keep this place HOT for Hot Yoga. The rooms are at least 90 degrees to help blood flow with ease to different areas your body, as well as to reduce the toxins in your body and to help promote deeper stretching in your muscles.
The facility advises that you arrive a minimum of 15 minutes early to get accustomed to the heat. The studio offers classes everyday and for one class the cost is $18. Full-time students can bring in their student ID's and receive a discount. Everyone is welcome and classes are beginner friendly.
12. B-Ball. Tulsa has three great teams that turn up the heat during the cold winter months, the Tulsa 66ers, the ORU Golden Eagles and the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Each team is sure to promise you an intense, action-packed night.
The 66ers have ended last season with a 27-23 record and played for the D-League title. The 66ers seem to be rising to the top -- some of this success could be largely due to the fact that they were bought by an NBA affiliate, the Oklahoma City Thunder. There will be many home games for the 66ers throughout the winter season at the Civic Center, 100 Civic Center. Tickets range in price according to how close you want to get to the action and start at $10.
The Golden Eagles play their home games in the Mabee Center, 7777 S. Lewis Ave. All home Games start at 7:05pm and tickets range in price from $10-25.
The Golden Hurricane look to build on last season's 23-12 record despite losing top players Jerome Jordan and Ben Uzoh. Home games are held at the Reynolds Center, 3208 E. 8th St. Tickets range in price from $10-39.
13.Indoor Ice. One way to get in the spirit of winter while keeping toasty is to strap on a pair of skates and take it to the rink.
For those of us who may have minimal experience with ice skating, the Tulsa Oilers Ice Center, 6413 S. Mingo Road, offers lessons for both figure skaters and those who just want to learn the basics. You can even plan a birthday party at the rink for kiddos. For public skating, the cost of admission is only $6 and $2.50 to rent skates, and for the little ones the cost is $3.50.
The rink's hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 11:30am-1:30pm, Saturday from 12-2pm and Sunday from 1-3pm.
14. Art for Art's Sake. If you are into painting pottery or making mosaics, Purple Glaze, 3303 S. Peoria, is the right place for you. The studio is always kept at a temperature that is comfortable and hours can be easily spent here during the long days of winter. It is the season of gift giving and what better than a homemade gift is there to give your loved ones?
There is a wide selection of ceramic pieces to choose from and you do not need to bring anything other than a creative mind. The staff is very informative and can help offer suggestions to you along the way. The studio is open to children and adults and has everything from ceramic animals, to a bust of Elvis, to things you can use in your kitchen.
There is a $6 fee to cover the use of your painting supplies plus the cost of your ceramic piece of choice. Throughout the week, special rates and discounts are offered.
15. Gaff Some Glass. If you are over the age of 12 and have some free time this winter season, you might opt to go to the Tulsa Glassblowing Studio, 19 E. Brady. For $25, you can create your very own piece of art -- a paperweight or a flower, for example -- and it will be ready to be picked up the next day. For those in need of a homemade holiday gift, you can create your very own ornament for $35.
On the first Friday of every month, you can come on down to the studio and watch some of Tulsa's artists get to work. The demonstration is free to watch and will prove to be fun for the whole family.
Besides, it's very warm around hot glass, especially when the weather outside is frightful.
16. Explore the Universe. Looking for something a little different? The Tulsa Air and Space Museum and Planetarium, 3624 N. 74th E. Ave, has many flight simulators, hands-on exhibits and even a space-maneuvering unit, which allows you to explore what it feels like to be in space.
In the planetarium, on a huge 50-foot dome, you can even catch a flick about our vast universe. For more information and a guide to the different programs that will be played in the planetarium, visit tulsaairandspacemuseum.com.
17. Jingle Bell Dash. Does your belly jiggle like a bowl full of jelly? Then you can get into shape all for a good cause. The Jingle Bell Run hosts two runs for the Arthritis Foundation, a fun run and a 5K.
Registration is $25 and participants can enjoy the festive Brookside scenery as they hit the pavement. There is also a 1K fun run for any children who wish to participate. The run is not necessarily a run -- participants can walk or jog, whatever they feel most comfortable with.
18. Warm Retreat. During the winter, it is perfect for guys and girls alike -- everyone can benefit from the perks of getting a massage, and as an added benefit, Aquarian Age Massage, 1401 E. 15th St., even offers a steam room and sauna.
If a hot stone massage is more of your thing, why not opt to go to a beauty school and cut costs? Clary Sage, 3131 S. Sheridan, offers this service for a very reasonable price.
So imagine this, you're stressed, you're cold, and you just want to get back to when you felt a little more like you -- and within an hour you can do so.
19. Diggin' Bones. Bodies: The Exhibition, comes to Tulsa's Village at Woodland Hills Mall, 6808 S. Memorial Dr. Using a new preservation technique, the exhibit allows us to see the human body like never before. Everything from the muscle to the skeletal systems will be on display as well as individual organ systems.
The focus of the exhibition is to allow spectators to better understand the perils of not maintaining a healthy lifestyle, issues such as obesity, cirrhosis of the liver and cancer are just a few of the ones that will be on display. The bodies used in the display were Chinese citizens who died from natural causes and their bodies remained unclaimed.
The exhibit will be open Sunday through Thursday from 10am until 8pm and on Friday and Saturday from 10am until 10pm. Tickets are $22 for adults and $14 for children. The exhibition will be on display until Feb. 13.
20. Holiday Tunes. On Dec. 16, the world-renowned Trans Siberian Orchestra will take its show to Tulsa's BOK Center, 200 S. Denver.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra's first four rock operas have sold more than 7 million copies and their success has made them the go-to people for holiday concerts. There shows include of spectacle of pyrotechnics, lights, lasers and yes, two stages. Tickets start around $32.50 and you can purchase them online at bokcenter.com.
21. Downtown Winter Wonderland. Looking for something that the whole family can enjoy? Winterfest comes back to downtown Tulsa, outside the BOK Center, 200 S. Denver. This year, with an even larger ice-skating rink and Christmas tree, it will be like Tulsa's own Rockefeller Center. Carriage rides, concessions, exhibitors and choirs will be just a few of the things you can expect to see at this event. The festivities will take place Nov. 27-Jan. 4, admission is free. For those who want to skate, admission is $8 and $5 for those under the age of three.
22. Get Your '80s Fix. Gag me with a spoon. Tulsans now have an excuse to bring out those leg warmers they've been hiding in their closet. The Max Retropub, 114 S. Elgin, has a lot to offer in the form of skee-ball, arcade games and a trivia night every Wednesday -- there is sure to be something there for everyone. The drink prices are reasonable and there are specials throughout the week.
If you're hungry, The Max has a pretty extensive pub menu with '80s themed snacks -- the Small Wonder, a small hotdog with mustard and relish or the Hawaii Five-0, a beef frank with crushed pineapple, bacon and barbecue.
23.Laughter Is the Best Medicine. Wrap yourself up in laughter. Everyone knows laughter is the best medicine, and with cold season coming around, why not plan a trip to the Brady Theater, 105 W. Brady St., for a night of fun? The Last Comic Standing Tour makes its way to Tulsa on Jan. 27.
The hit TV show that began the tour documents the journey of 10 finalists, a mixed bag of both professional and non-professional comedians, as they all attempt to win a contract with NBC. Tickets for the show begin at $27.50.
24. Excellent Exhibits. In this beautiful city, we are fortunate to have not just one but two museums. Both provide a great way to spend a day when the weather is less than pleasant. It may be dark and gloomy outside, but inside these museums you can get lost in the beauty of several different works of art.
Gilcrease Museum, 1400 N. Gilcrease Museum Road, is home to the most extensive collection of art from the American West. Native American art and historical documents are also only a few of the things that you can find at the museum.
Philbrook Museum, 2727 S. Rockford Road, is home to an amazing permanent collection of art as well as traveling exhibits that will be sure to attract the interest of any art lover.
25. Heart Warming. Doing something good for others is a great way to keep warm, from the inside out. For most families, winter is one of the hardest months to get by.
There are many programs around town that need volunteers especially during December. Coats for Kids, Toys for Tots and the Angel Tree are just a few of the programs that don't require a lot of time but still can make such an impact on another person's life.
For those who are wanting to donate their time and volunteer, Meals on Wheels and Community Food Bank of Oklahoma are other places that could use a helping hand.
When winter strikes in Oklahoma there is one thing that you can be sure of, very cold weather.
As the temperatures drop and Christmas lights go up, holiday spirit is in full swing. All over Tulsa you can find warm drinks, comfort food and great entertainment. Winter is a time for family and friends to gather around and there are many fine Tulsa establishments to make the experience more memorable.

ARM CANDY: Despite bearing bizarre Chinese slogans like "Smile, promise, protect the environment," these snappy rubber bracelets have made frequent appearances at events and parties around Beijing. The five multi-color athletic bands were given away to attendees of the Opening Ceremonies.
Scoring tickets priced as high as 5,000 yuan, or $728, to the coveted spectacle was a major accomplishment. Fittingly, the "free" accessories have become something of a showpiece around town, trumpeting either luck in the ticket lottery, financial ability or status as a socialite with the right ties.

The 2011 Bourgogne Chardonnay has a nose of fresh fruit, baked apple and bubble gum. On the palate, it has refreshing back..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The Santenay Clos de Malte Blanc is a rich and structured wine. It is elegant and fresh, giving off fruity aromas as well as lemon-scents and subtle hints of wood.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Great Value! The 2009 Mersault has aromas of exotic fruits and vanilla on the nose. On the palate, the aromas are enhanced by notes of honey. It is a powerful wine with very nice length. Always a favorite at Morrell for its quality/price ratio.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Sexy nose combines white flowers, spices and musky lees. Fat, plush and sweet, with a firm mineral edge giving the mid-palate a more chiseled quality than the Chassagne villages. The citrus and dusty stone finish conveys an impression of grip and firmness."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A very fresh, pure and expressive nose of straw, citrus and white orchard fruit merges into detailed and energetic middle weight flavors. Very dry and crisp, it delivers good length and energy.
Cellar/Tasting Notes From one of two Montrachet villages responsible for producing some of the greatest dry whites in the world, this Puligny is both a good value and a fine wine. Exhibits delicate vanilla and oak and nut aromas. It is ample and fat in the mouth with good acidity and plenty of spice and oak flavors.
Cellar/Tasting Notes 100% Chardonnay from extremely steep vineyards. Only natural yeast is used. A smoky, toasty nose followed by rich buttery aromas. Good mouthfeel on the palate with a rich creaminess, excellent balancing acidity and a very long finish. A stylish wine.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2010 Les Benoites presents with a golden yellow color with a glittering tint. The aromatic bouquet is that of vanilla scents and creme fraiche. On the palate, the wine is round and opulent with a great crisp end.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Round and supple, with excellent cut. The apple, peach and lemon flavors start out matched to a rich texture, dovetailing to a point as the finish stretches out.."

The Dallastown Area School Board decided to continue using its new food service vendor after deciding a year ago to outsource the work.
Chartwells got a one-year contract renewal from the board in a 7-1 vote, with Don Jasmann the lone dissenter, according to Acting Superintendent Ron Dyer.
Dallastown decided before this school year to switch from its in-house operation to Chartwells, which promised to help the district turn a profit from its food service program.
Early indications show the program should end up in the black this year, Dyer said, although he cautioned that meal programs traditionally take a dip in profits at the end of the school year, so results are still up in the air. The transition to an outside company hasn't been entirely smooth, although a committee is now examining ways to improve service next year, Dyer said.
Issues came up such as what is a reimbursable meal and what is an a la carte purchase, Dyer said.
But he said the quality of the food is very good, such as homemade pizzas.
"Most everything is made from scratch," Dyer said. "You're not getting the same level of preservatives."
Chartwells and the district are also adjusting to ongoing federal changes to make school meals healthier, he added.
The schools are trying to figure out how to control portion sizes, which in the short term has meant taking away some of the self-service food stations, Dyer said.
Dime more: Those federal regulations also prompted the school board to approve a 10-cent increase in the cost of meals across all schools.
"We're reflecting the cost of food as much as families are reflecting it at home," Dyer said.
He emphasized the cost increase was not Chartwells driven, as the district has to comply with laws on keeping its weighted average meal price high enough to qualify for the federal reimbursement rate.
Dallastown's average was $1.99 as of this school year, about 6 cents less than the federal requirement for next year.
The 2011-12 rate is $1.85 for elementary lunch and $2.05 for secondary lunch. Those rates, as well as breakfast rates, will go up by a dime next year.

When it comes to hair loss there are countless products that claim to cure the condition and restore hair growth, but what are they and do they work?
This article on hair loss products is written by Sophie Crane from the Belgravia Centre, London.
There are various kinds of treatment available for different types of hair loss and it is important to get an accurate diagnosis in order to choose the best hair loss product for your condition. Here is a summary of the main hair loss treatments.
This is a lotion or cream that is applied directly to the scalp and that can be used by men and women. It is one of only two drugs that has been approved and licensed for use by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the medical regulatory bodies in the UK and USA respectively. Originally it was used in tablet form to treat high blood pressure however some patients noticed hair growth as a side effect. After extensive clinical trials and safety testing, it became a certified hair loss product.
At the Belgravia Centre we also add products that might help to block DHT from reaching the follicles to its formulations of minoxidil in the aim of adding to its hair loss prevention properties.
This comes in tablet form and it is only available to men due to its active ingredient, Finasteride, which blocks the male hormone that causes genetic hair loss, DHT (dihydrotestosterone). It contains 1mg of Finasteride which has been used for over twenty years (in the drug Proscar) to treat men with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH).
There are various brands of shampoos that claim to reduce hair loss and make locks look thicker and stronger. However, none of these are proven claims and all they can generally offer is a short-term boost to thin hair, making it look temporarily thicker, by adding ingredients such as collagen. They will not stop or reverse hair loss.
This is a laser treatment designed to stimulate blood flow to the root of the hair follicle. This increases the nutrition that reaches the follicle helping it stay strong and encouraging a healthy growth cycle. But not all laser combs are the same. The only other product (other than Minoxidil and Propecia) that shows significant evidence of preventing hair loss is the FDA-cleared HairMax Lasercomb. The reason this is different to other laser combs is that it has a patented mechanism in which the teeth of the comb are designed to part the hair so that light can be shined directly onto the scalp. Many other lasers let the hair get in the way which reduces the efficacy of the treatment.
The Belgravia Centre does not usually recommend the HairMax LaserComb as an individual solution for hair loss but advises it to be used alongside licensed medications as part of a combined hair loss treatment programme. The results of these programmes can be seen on the success stories link on the clinic's website.
These work by increasing the nutritional supply to the hair follicle. They can help, particularly for hair loss in women (when nutritional deficiency is often a factor. However, the hair loss may have other causes so it is essential to get an accurate diagnosis because taking too much of a nutrient can overload the body and may make the condition worse. No food supplement has been proven, or licensed for hair loss prevention so be aware when searching for a hair loss solution that a supplement may not be effective.
In summary, it is important to seek advice from a specialist in order to get a clear diagnosis. Once a person has this, then they can consider the various hair loss products out there.
Sophie Crane is one of the Belgravia Hair Loss Blog's expert authors. With extensive knowledge about male and female hair loss, available treatments, products and procedures and access to information and advice from medical professionals, Kate has written hundreds of articles for the benefit of those concerned about hair loss.
The Belgravia Centre has been treating hair loss for many years and has a dedicated team of experts who have experience working with every type of hair loss condition. Examples of the success that Belgravia Centre clients have experience can be seen below and on the clinic's website; hundreds of 'before and during treatment' hair growth photos can be viewed, as well as a growing number of 'success stories' (found on the Blog) with comments from treatment users as well as their before/during treatment photo-scans. Every Belgravia treatment user is monitored with photos.
The clinic offers free consultations, either in the clinic (based in London) via the website. If you would like to arrange a consultation with the clinic or complete an online diagnostic form for Belgravia's mail-order hair loss services, visit www.belgraviacentre.com
Hair transplant surgery costs depend on the number of grafts that you require. An initial hair loss treatment consultation may be free, or you may expect to pay £50 to £75. You would expect to pay £1,500 to £4,000 at a UK hair transplant clinic for up to three sessions of treatment.

The French are famous for putting on more clothing than needed to stay warm and to make the body sweat more. It's not good to lose weight by dehydration, especially for cyclists. Take off the leg warmers & jacket when temperatures are mild to help stay hydrated. You will need fluids to ride further which is the key to burning calories.
