Heres part of an article from IGN, I'll post the link to the full article at the end.
Currently very little is known about the Revolution except that it may not use a conventional controller and may be able to connect to a PC monitor as well as the traditional TV screen.
"The concept behind our new console, tentatively named 'Revolution,' is the same as the DS. We want it to broaden the [video gaming] audience range, and we don't want it to be something that people will see as too irrelevant to them, too difficult to use, or as something that wastes space. We'll announce specific details at the E3 ... It will most likely come out between this year [and] next year, which is considered to be the transition period for home consoles," Iwata said.
Iwata said the DS and PSP aren't directly competing, because Nintendo is aiming for nongamers and retired gamers with its handheld, while Sony is targeting the traditional gaming audience. He added that his company will also attempt to avoid competing in the next-gen console market.
"Similar to the relationship that the DS has with the PSP, we won't fight over the same share of the pie with another company. We have no intention of fighting over shares of the market in a way that will shrink it. For us, success will depend on whether we can call back people that have stopped playing games, and whether we can also bring in a new base of customers. That way, our share [of the market] will increase since the market will grow bigger," Iwata said.
"Its [The DS] sales are very good when compared to the launch of other game machines we've sold in the past. We feel that the DS has gained a wide range of audience. Aside from video game fans, people that haven't played games in a long time, or never played games before, have been picking up the DS," Iwata said. "According to research, the sales of game hardware for one month, starting in late November, increased by 75 percent compared to the past year, and game software sales also rose by about 10 percent. I believe that the DS is hindering people from losing interest in video games." [Iwata said.]
When asked by the Kyoto Journal what he thought of the PSP, Iwata stated relatively bluntly that Sony is going in a direction that Nintendo doesn't believe in, though he softened that by saying he welcomes Sony's entrance into the market--since it should expand the total gaming audience.
"In the past, the video game industry grew on high-quality graphics and data volume," Iwata said. "We decided to move into a different direction, since we believe that those days have ended. But by watching the PSP, we see that there are also people that have different thoughts from us. But it's up to the consumers to make the judgment, and it'll also be good if we can expand the market size by bringing out our best points."
Don't read too deep into that. His point is that instead of fighting over the same gamers of this generation, he wants to grab new gamers and gamers that no longer play video games PLUS the current gamers.
Why do they always say this? The DS IS competing with PSP- no matter what they say. And if this thing plays games, it will compete with PS3 and Xenon.
It's the usual Nintendo jargon. We're not competing with you, but we are taking away your market share. Oops?
that was an article about the fucking DS again, typical nintendo, "wait don't forget about our handhelds"
.............................primitive plus
The more i read into the stuff Iwata says about the gaming industry the more i believe a monkey can dominate Jupiter.
I mean, c'mon Iwata, you ARE competing no matter what and if you dont put your gaurd up Sony and Microsoft ARE going to rip you apart.
Teh Flock
They way Nintendo should be thinking. They are not cutting out their current customers or mature gamers they just want to appeal to everybody like they always said except now they are making hardware and software that appeals to everybody as well.
If you think about it Nintendo has not been competing with the other companies. The other companies have been in the red for years. Just recently Microsoft Xbox finally started making a profit. Nintendo has been making a profit for years on its GC, GBA, SP lines despite the lack of hardcore excellent software.
A IGN article from Gamespot?
Appealing to everyone might backfire. The Gamecube having games that younger gamers can enjoy made some people think that only younger gamers can enjoy them. If they want their system to be enjoyable by casuals, some people might get the impression that casual gamers are the only people who can enjoy it.
I really hope that doesn't happen.
It also comes down to advertising if people always see Mario Sunshine, Gumby, or Animal crossing commercials and nothing concerning mature or cool titles can sway people as well.
But you have to remember that most of these quotes are either translated or done in horrible engrish by Iwata.
I think he DS advertising model will be applied to the Revolution ane that will be what Nintendo uses to garner that wide range of users without alienating any of them.
Who cares who they are or aren't competing with? In the end, Nintendo will still pump out quality titles. If some people find these games too childish to play, they're the ones missing out.
Take Pikmin2 for example. I wouldn't have even thought of playing this game until my sister got it for her birthday last week, and now I'm hooked. There's so much depth and strategy involved in such a simple micromanagement game.
So do you play it more than your sister? hehe.
I stole the original Pikmin from my sister when she rented it at blockbuster (we returned it and she only had about 2 days into it, while I had beaten it.)
Hopefully Nintendo know what they are doing....
I think they are, instead of giving us better graphics like Microsoft and Sony who are offering us nothing new, Nintendo are giving us innovative gameplay.
I hope the Revolution launches with a Gumby title.
Why does Nintedo keep insisting that 'people aren't intrested in games anymore'? That simply is not true.
Oh god no, please not that!!!! People will already assume Nintendo is going with their "kiddy" image again plus.....just no.Originally Posted by Dork
Contrary to what was said almost all the black people i know play video games, me included. A lot of them just buy playstation 2 instead of gamecube.

BURLINGTON A Vermont man has pleaded guilty to persuading a 12-year-old girl to take nude photos of herself and send the images to his cellphone.
The U.S. Attorneys office says 26-year-old Richard Fletcher of Sheffield pleaded guilty to producing, receiving and possessing child pornography in federal court Wednesday.
Fletcher admitted that in 2011 he persuaded the girl in Utah to take the photos and send him the images.
Fletcher and the girl never met face-to-face. Prosecutors said he met her on a social media website, obtained her cellphone number, and began calling and texting her. They said he pressed for the photos after persuading the girl that he loved her and wanted her to be his girlfriend.

Issac Fotu had a team-high 11 rebounds. Hawaii led 30-29 at halftime. Hawaii shot 37 percent from the field for the game, while Pacific shot 30.9 percent.

Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben, a peaceful and charitable Buddhist, and his closest friend Chon, a former Navy SEAL and ex-mercenary, run a lucrative, homegrown industry--raising some of the best marijuana ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia. Life is idyllic in their Southern California town...until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them. When the merciless head of the BC, Elena, and her brutal enforcer, Lado, underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends, Ben and Chon--with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent--wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high stakes, savage battle of wills.
Rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong brutal and grisly violence, some graphic sexuality, nudity, drug use and language throughout.

FARGO, ND (WDAY/CBS) - A woman who planned her dream wedding only to get stood up before the big day donated her reception to an organization that serves people with disabilities.
Michelle Marxen said her ex-fiance called her and said he didn't love her anymore and did not want to get married.
"We spent a whole year planning this wedding, and it just all ended in a phone call," Marxen said.
Marxen's family spent thousands of dollars and signed contracts for a Ramada ballroom, flowers, photographers, limousines and music from a local band.
When Marxen found out that she still had to pay for the wedding services, she and her family decided to transform the planned wedding reception into a Halloween party for the people of Creative Care for Reaching Independence. It is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to enrich the lives and learning of people with disabilities.
Jody Hudson of CCRI said she was in disbelief.
"I was speechless; I couldn't [believe it]," Hudson said. "Actually, the next day I called her to make sure it was for real."

Recipe by Vera
"Here is something a little different for a salad. A friend gave me this years ago. Hope you like it."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 egg
6 slices bacon
1/2 cup sliced onion
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
4 teaspoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 cups leaf lettuce - rinsed, dried and torn into bite-size pieces
8 radishes, thinly sliced
My husband loved this salad, the only thing I recommend is to make sure you pour the dressing on the lettuce right before you serve it or the lettuce will become too soggy. I think next time I might cool the dressing a bit more before tossing it with the lettuce, overall an interesting and good tasting salad.
Certainly different - an acquired taste I think. Not for us!
84 Ratings
Very good hot bacon dressing. I used on top of baby spinach. I also halved the recipe for three people. It turned out perfect.
The dressing is PERFECT -- just the right touch of sweetness, not too vinegary. I'll definitely be making this again soon. Thanks very much.
I used the dressing for a spinach salad instead. I used turkey bacon to make it a little lighter. It was very good!
We all loved this over spinach salad but because bacon has enough of it's own sodium, I left out the salt entirely. Not something I would make very often, but once in a while, it's nice to indulge! Delicious and thank you!
Left out the egg. I always serve this with the lettuce cut in wedges instead of pieces. Also, try it with fresh spinach and strawberries (leaving out the radishes).
This is just like my Mom's - so kid friendly with the bacon that they'll even eat spinach! Actually, I prefer to make the dressing and serve it with Spinach (like a wilted Spinach Salad!).

Stop Future Killings of Montana Bears
Stop Future Killings of Montana Bears
By BornFreeMovies (www.youtube.com/user/bornfreemovies)
Montana officials recently killed several black bears, including two cubs, after humans had been feeding the animals. Officials said the bears were dangerous and that is why they killed the bears. The bears paid the price for human error. Human encroachment into bears' natural habitat has sparked increased bear-human encounters. Humans are obligated to coexist peacefully with bears and use non-lethal measures to mitigate bear-human encounters.
Please sign this petition and ask Lee Anderson, a warden with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, to use non-lethal measures to handle future bear-human encounters.

The Bishop of Jaffna Rt. Rev. Dr. Thomas Savundharanayagam took part in a religious service at the Madhu Church yesterday for the first time since the shrine was liberated from the LTTE by the Security Forces a month ago. Jaffna Bishop Thomas Savuntharanayagam visited the shrine area and saw the renovation work carried out by the Security Forces, soon after the church was rid of the LTTE presence. Bishop Savuntharanayagam is also the first Bishop, in the Mannar diocese to visit the Madhu church for the first time since the shrine was liberated from the LTTE, Mannar Vicar General Rev. Anthony Victor Sosai told the Sunday Observer.
The Minister of Christian Affairs has allocated Rs. 1.6 million for renovation work and the security forces played a key role in the renovation activities, according to Vicar General. Meanwhile, the Security Forces are currently engaged in clearing mines in the surrounding areas of the Madhu Church.
A ten-member team including nuns in the church premises are conducting the routine rituals, the sources said.

Costume and Textiles Woman's Two-Piece Day Dress: Bodice and Skirt Worth used a brightly brocaded floral silk to soften the austerity of the black silk faille. Curved seams give the bodice an hourglass shape, which is accented by satin-edged triangular inserts of the brocade at front and back. Full hips are enhanced by a puffed overskirt, bordered in front by iridescent beaded fringe over the brocade center panel. The floral fabric is most dramatic down the back of the skirt, where it emerges from under the bodice's bustle tails to flow into a graceful train. Made in France, Europec. 1878-80 Designed by Charles Frederick Worth, English (active Paris), 1825 - 1895 Silk faille and brocaded silk lampas weave trimmed with lace, silk satin, and beads Currently not on view 1996-19-7a,b 125th Anniversary Acquisition. Gift of the heirs of Charlotte Hope Binney Tyler Montgomery, 1996 |
LabelDuring the late nineteenth century, American women flocked to Charles Frederick Worth's salon. The couturier cultivated the persona of an artist, modeling his image on that of Rembrandt, complete with a beret, a floppy, knotted silk scarf at the neck, and a loose, fur-trimmed coat. A contemporary, George Augustus Sala, described Worth as a man "who combines the suavity of a Granville, the diplomatic address of Metternich, the firmness of a Wellington, and the prompt coup d'oeil of a Napoleon." |

Next up, all you Saturday night insomniacs, we've got something completely different. Presenting: Deus Ex: Human Revolution *Picture credits go out to whomever I bummed it from.* When does the next one arrive? Anyone's guess. How many are there? I can only say there's more than two. Stay tuned. Excellent questions. 1) If you'd like to cancel submissions you're welcome to. Shoot me a PM on Saturday before the end of the contest, or simply decline a prize if you're contacted as a winner. 2) You can enter once, and you're in for all the games listed. Winners will be drawn in an order, and it's first come first serve on claiming the prizes. There may be an exception to this along the line, so please do continue to pay attention!
Oh yea, count me in for that Deus Ex. I've entered every single Deus Ex giveaway so far, and will continue to do so until I win!!!! Reason why I keep coming back to this place: - So I can bash fanboys - So I can troll once in a while without getting banned right away - So I can help someone by answering their noob question and in turn makes me feel like an expert - So I can get a laugh every now and again Other reasons why I keep coming back are more obvious, like the atmosphere, friendliness of the people, etc.
What keeps me coming back to TPU? The awsome posters here ofc and no trolls. With any kind of technical questions you normally get a response within 5 mins, there seems to always be knowledgeable people online
The reason why i keep coming back is because: Of forum members and excellent work the moderators do. If i win, i will gift the prize.
Great community, awesome reviews, lots of helpful folks when any hardware/software issues arise. PS I can copy paste to save me from typing then going through the spell checker.......
I keep coming back for the gaming community. Getting on TPU Teamspeak is like heading down to the bar, everyone knows ya when you walk in and you know everyone else
Don't know you yet really...but daaaaam, your k/d ratio in BF3 is crazy hahaha. Were gonna have to play sometime
I come here because the people are awesome and helpful. The mods are not a bunch of pricks (unlike some other site ).
I come to TechPowerUp because it is my portal to General Nonsense. I'm full of general nonsense (I signed up because of the 2008 election debate that was going on that time--check the Join Date). Additionally... -I uploaded most of my applications here. -Minecraft Server -Terraria Server -The odd occassion I can't figure out a tech problem. -Tech News -World Community Grid/BOINC -Games thread
Another late night. We've got another shooter. This one slipped way under most people's radar (what a shame, but GFWL has the tendency to do that), but here's your chance to pick it up: Section 8: Prejudice *Credit to whomever I've linked this picture from* Next one, or couple, are from AlienIsGOD (http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/member.php?u=57450). The hint for this one (sorry, I forgot about it last time), "This game was achieved with CryEngine 3."
You know, since I've been here, i haven't seen too many people get banned, except for the other day when erocker swung the ban hammer on somebody who asked to be banned Perhaps much of the banning is behind the scenes
I keeps coming back to TPU for few reasons:- 1. Lots of giveaway especially on game thread. Check everyday. 2. To show off everything I got in the relevant thread such as "your PC ATM" etc. 3. Your one stop PC solution for a PC noob like me
Oh, it was sunlight reflecting off a cloud of methane gas. that makes sense! sorry for getting off topic
A little earlier than usual today. This one is 100% thanks to AlienIsGOD. Not one, but two copies of Nexuiz: *Credit to whomever I got the image from* Can you dig it? AlienIsGOD and manofthem both deserve a huge thanks for getting involved in the spirit. Shoot them a thanks if you get a chance, or make some time to let them know you appreciate their generosity! Next up, they've got medications for when your pets get them. Unfortunately, or perhaps very fortunately, these little guys will fight back. They've been gone a while, but now they're reloaded. Edit: My bad, AlienIsGOD told me about the DLC, but I forgot.
Thanks for the shout-out, good sir. Always a pleasure to help out when and where I can Quite a few games going on here, quite a few people are going to be quite happy , that's very cool!
I come here because Themailman isn't banned yet, im not banned yet and of course all the awesome reviews. W1zz is definitely #1 when it comes to GPU reviews, and Cadevaca's motherboard reviews as well only guy i know who tests overclocking with the Shogun 2 CPU bench on a regular basis which is something i love to see. Overall I keep coming back to TPU because its TPU, there is no other site like it on the internet.
"What keeps you coming back to TPU. The forums GPU-Z Great reviews and the classy people and things like the 6950 shader unlock damn i need to get off my ass and sell this card
Ewww. Only a few places where a Scottsman can use a Dragon Punch and Bazooka to finish a fight. Sound like insanity, then you don't know this game. That's right, we've got Worms:Reloaded. *Image bummed from somewhere else, credit to them* Odd enough mix of games yet? No? The next one is a little more conventional. You might feel a little cold from this game's inner working, but I'm told that the warmth from trying to run it on any PC will make you plenty toasty. Stay tuned! *PS: stay tuned. The weather man is forecasting a storm on either Thursday or Friday, that you don't want to miss.*
Sweet toasty jebus on a cracker. Nobody showing any love after Worms? Is it that much of a niche game? Fine, I'll bite. Battlefield 3. I'm not crediting the poster, as this was EA's promotional material Are you all happy now? Can I get some decent action going now? If not, then the storm might just pass without hitting here. That would be a true shame.
Wanted to surmise everything on the list so far. It might not be completely kosher, but I thought this deserved its own post. 1) manofthem has graciously provided a copy of Portal 2 2) AlienIsGOD has provided not one, but two copies of Nexuiz. Not only this, but you'll get a 75% discount on DLC. 3) Deus Ex: Human Revolution 4) Section 8: Prejudice 5) Worms: Reloaded 6) Battlefield 3 If you missed it, that's seven (7) winners! If that isn't enough to get people to fill out their system specifications and answer why you come back to TPU again and again I can't think of what might. *On second hand, I can. I just don't want to say it...*
Looking super awesome! A lot of games to be won by the good tenants of TPU If anyone hasn't grabbed BF3, this is the time to win it, a fun game! (not to mention all the other fine games )

The Irregular Militia falls under the "well regulated" portion when pressed into service. YOU are expected to have profiency and possession of your own arms when called to service.
You need to read your own story, you self contradict almost every paragraph. More people killed by guns one moment, then follows "most outlaws don't own or have guns". Tryanny ? so what you just said was, because the Government has denied full application of the second, we are now in a position where the Government has full control of the people and it's too late for us anyway ? This is true only if you believe the folks in our military have no integrity and are in blind obedience to the government, I haven't seen that yet. Bad guy/good guy--I guess you could try to have a dialog while being robbed, raped, tortured etc.etc. Ususally thouggh the dialog happens AFTER all thats happened and the crook is truying to get out of the mess alive---you ,on the other hand, are fertilizer. Noted also you offered no solution, just a blanket "something". It is. of course, possible to have a meaning full dialog, just not with you.
"Irregular militia"? "Subject to call-up"?
How old are you, anyway?

When a guy steps foot in a Victoria's Secret store, like sharks that smell blood in the water, sales associates make a beeline for him. They know that most guys just want to get something and get out, because they feel awkward.
Fellas, you'll be steered toward the more expensive stuff because sales associates know you feel out of place, so you'll probably buy whatever they recommend. Women like to hear about the sales going on because sure, they like frilly underthings, but they also like getting a great deal.
Don't believe me? According to a former employee of Victoria's Secret, the training associates receive includes taking advantage of guys' awkwardness to hit sales goals. That's right...a woman just used you for your money.
Ironically, Victoria's Secret originally opened its doors to provide men with the opportunity to buy their wives lingerie without feeling awkward.

When my daughter was 8 years old, she'd regularly bound into a room, knocking things (and people) over. She'd rumble into things much like our golden retriever. Our excuse for the dog was that he did not realize how big he was. So, what was our daughter's excuse? We suggested she be more careful, move more slowly, and that she watch where she was going. It didn't really work. Have you known people with similar tendencies? Are you bad at sports because you're "uncoordinated?" Could a medical reason explain it? Can You Really Be "Accident Prone"? It does seem as though some people, like my daughter, experience more than their fair share of accidental injuries to themselves, others and nearby property. I'm convinced that most people who call themselves "accident prone" or "klutzy" are just in a hurry, impulsive, not paying attention or some combination of these. However, there are conditions in which coordination is impaired. And it's likely that at least some small percentage of the "bulls in china shops" have one of these conditions. More on that in a moment. To understand how a disease might impair coordination, it's worth understanding a bit about how our bodies handle normal coordination when everything is working well. Most of us take our coordination for granted. When everything is working as it should, it's fairly effortless to walk across a room without bumping into anything or falling. More complex tasks — like catching a fly ball, dancing or driving a car — may seem effortless to those who have practiced these activities. Yet, each of these requires a huge number of nerve signals traveling to and from the brain.
When certain muscles contract, others relax. When you salute, for example, you smoothly swing your arm and hand alongside your head rather than making a jerky movement that ends with you smacking yourself. And during movement, constant feedback tells us whether we're heading in the right direction or whether an adjustment is needed. While simple activities (such as walking) require almost no active attention, they clearly require some focus. Otherwise you'd never have heard the expression, "Watch where you're going!" The environment can change — your dog scurries underfoot, someone opens the refrigerator door as you walk by, a wasp lands on your nose. Each of these requires visual input, interpretation by the brain ("I'm really not happy about this wasp situation") and nerve signals to the muscles to take action, such as changing your stride (so you don't step on the dog), veering to the left (to avoid the refrigerator door) or swatting the wasp off your nose. As with so many things, we're most likely to appreciate how well our coordination systems work when they fail us. For example, a deficiency in vitamin B12 may occur among people whose diet is deficient or who cannot absorb the vitamin. This can lead to a number of problems, including nerve damage that affects your sense of position. For example, it may become hard to know precisely where your foot is as you're walking. Loss of balance and poor coordination are common with vitamin B12 deficiency. Fortunately, this condition is reversible if found early and treated with supplemental B12. Other causes of poor coordination include:
In fact, just about any illness, especially if it lasts a long time, may lead to immobility, muscle weakness and reduced coordination. This tends to get better as you recover. But getting your strength and coordination back after a hospital stay is an important goal of physical therapy or a stay in a rehabilitation facility. And, of course, healthy people can have poor coordination as well. Just ask anyone who has been sleep deprived, distracted, in a rush or just trying to do too many things at once. I suspect this is one reason people sometimes say, "The hurrier I go the behinder I get." We've all been embarrassed by a clumsy misstep. Maybe your hand knocked over a cup of coffee during a spirited conversation. Or maybe you backed into a stack of soup cans with your shopping cart. I once walked into a display case at a museum and had to get several stitches in my forehead. Yes, these mishaps are embarrassing. But they can also cause significant injury. A hip fracture, for example, causes more than just pain. An elderly person who falls and breaks her hip has a good chance of losing his or her independence. About 25% of hip fractures in the elderly lead to admission to a nursing home or other long-term care facility. And about 5% of those who break a hip will die of complications in the following months. So, while "clumsiness" is embarrassing and potentially painful, it can also be dangerous. If you find you are often knocking into things or injuring yourself, it makes sense to get checked out. There may be steps you can take to improve the situation. Not all "klutziness" is inevitable. That is, maybe you're actually not a klutz. Maybe your vision is bad. Or your medications are affecting your balance. Keep an open mind and don't assume your coordination (or lack of it) is something you have to live with. Try to be more mindful of your movements. Plan how you're going to move rather than rushing forward. Then see if how you move through space improves. Of course, it can be a trick to slow down a bit and pay more attention to your movements without becoming "hypervigilant" and paralyzed with carefulness. Keep in mind that most "klutzes," after medical evaluation, turn out to be normal and healthy. For these people, the focus should be less on medical testing (which, let's face it, can be endless) and more on finding ways to help. For example:
See your doctor if you've become more clumsy than usual, especially if your clumsiness seems to be increasing or is causing injuries. Chances are good that it's nothing serious. Work on your strength, balance and coordination through exercise. As for my daughter, she pretty much "grew out of it," excelling in softball in middle school and making her varsity field hockey team in high school. My guess is that she just needed to pay more attention to her environment. Improving one's "situational awareness" — paying attention to your position in space and to what is nearby — could be the cure for the common klutz. Robert H.

Sachin Tendulkar's 200th and final Test will be staged in his home city of Mumbai, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has confirmed.
Tendulkar, the highest run-scorer in Test and one-day international history, announced last week he would be retiring from India duty following the second Test against the West Indies.
And the BCCI, at their tour programme and fixtures committee meeting on Tuesday, has granted Tendulkar his wish of bowing out at his home ground, the Wankhede Stadium.
The first Test will take place in Kolkata from November 6 with the Mumbai Test due to start eight days later.
India will then meet the Windies in a three-match ODI series starting in Kochi on November 21.

The town also boasts mature wooded lots, convenient freeway access and a quiet living style.

STOCKHOLM, September 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Changing global student preferences lead to shifts among top employers
Universum Global reveals the list of organisations that have a competitive edge in employer reputation. Close to 200,000 business and engineering students from top universities weighed in on what companies and employer characteristics they find most attractive. As in the last four years, the 2013 rankings are compiled from student surveys in the world's 12 largest economies: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, UK and USA.
The 2013 business ranking shows fierce competition between the professional services, investment banking and fast moving consumer goods industries. KPMG, last year's second place contender, has dropped six places to be replaced by EY (Ernst & Young), which climbed four slots.
"The reason why these employers are seen as being attractive is due to their strong association to attributes that students consider important, such as market success, professional training and development and providing secure employment. This might come as a surprise as there is a view of Gen Y valuing more corporate social responsibility, a friendly work environment and flexible working conditions," said Petter Nylander, Universum's CEO.
The organisations in the top ten on the engineering list have remained fairly stable compared to last year. Employers in the computer & software space are vying for the top spot, which has been Google's home for five years, while Microsoft (no. 2) replaces IBM (no. 3) in second place. Employers in this sector are highly associated with innovation and exciting products and services - two attributes that are very important to engineers. Below is the top ten of the world's fifty most attractive employers.
Business: 1. Google, 2. EY (Ernst & Young), 3. Goldman Sachs, 4. PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers), 5. Microsoft, 6. Apple, 7. Deloitte, 8. KPMG , 9. Coca-Cola, 10. P&G
Engineering: 1. Google, 2. Microsoft, 3. IBM, 4. Apple, 5. BMW Group, 6. GE, 7. Intel, 8. Siemens, 9. Sony, 10. Shell

I'd imagine to keep things organized, so those not interested in 3rd-party generated charts don't have to look through them, and so you know for sure that the ones you are looking at are officially made by Harmonix or not.
The main thing is most likely organization, though, just aesthetics kind of reasons. "These are the ones we made, and these are the ones made through the RBN."
♪ You're not listening. You're not listening to anything I'm trying to say. ♪
Think of it as a professional league vs. an amateur league.
There will be great songs to be found in both music stores, but most people (including you and me) will prefer to keep them separate rather than shuffle through a TON of user-generated content to get to the bigger-name bands you might be looking for.
[ ] U2 [ ] Sheryl Crow [ ] Cracker [ ] Springsteen [ ]The Pogues
[ ] Cage the Elephant [ ] Neil Young [ ] P-Funk [ ] Heart [X]RUN-DMC [X] MeatLoaf
Awe, I was kind of excited to see $.50 (40MSP) songs, too bad that was a mistake.
Also, the ten minute cap seems...limiting. At least for the music I like. That's a little unfortunate.
Also, that US-only this sucks big time. Get working on including the world, HMX!
I have a band and we have a lot of questions. What will happen with the rights of the songs? We should give them to Harmonix? What happens with the tax, and the legal issues? Can we upload songs in Japanese, or Spanish? Well, if you want to check our music, go to www.myspace.com/thmkm
We love the idea, but we need more information!
And why are you limiting this only to USA and Europe? We are from Mexico and we know a lot of bands wanting something like this! Japan has a lot of indie bands...
When do you think people all over the world can upload songs? That would add very different styles, really.
D'oh, I was excited about the possibility of long songs. Why would there be a 3 dollar option then? I thought the point was for songs that require significantly more effort to chart.
If there's no way we can show we have rights to a cover??? How can we show we even have rights to our own songs??

Good, open communication is the top need in marriage. Nothing is as easy as talking; nothing is as difficult as communicating. Using words correctly and skillfully is an important part of communication, but even more important is that both husband and wife have a willingness to communicate in ways that result in deeper honesty and openness.
The great cover-up
Communicating effectively begins with discovering transparency. Being real, open to each other, and unafraid of rejection.
Many people spend tremendous time and energy building facades to hide their insecurities. They are afraid that if someone finds out who they really are, they will be rejected. For many men in particular, deep and honest communication can be very threatening. Too many wives and husbands are afraid to be honest with each other.
Many couples would improve their relationships if both partners would use words that are gentle and full of encouragement and praise. In marriage, partners need to affirm each other often.
Learning to be more open
Deep communication takes most of us a long time to achieve. You or your spouse may have come from a family where open communication was discouraged or even punished. It may take years to reach a deep, satisfying level of transparency, but every couple needs to be headed in the right direction.
Just as you do when you learn and sharpen most skills, with communication you start at easier levels and work your way toward proficiency.
The lowest, level of communication is cliché conversation, where you share nothing of substance with the other person: "Hello, how are you doing? Hot, isn't it? Have a nice day."
Moving up the scale a notch, level-four conversation involves reporting the facts. You share what you know but little more than that. You expose nothing of yourself and are content to report what so-and-so said or what so-and-so did.
At level three, you share your opinions—your ideas and judgments about things. You finally start to come out of your shell and reveal a little bit of who you are. You watch the other person carefully, and when you sense even the slightest question or rejection, you retreat.
Emotional sharing—what you feel—starts at level two. Here you must be careful to avoid hurting your spouse. But many marriages are in such need of sharing feelings that the risk must be taken. If you can't share feelings with your spouse, your marriage is on superficial ground. You won't grow, and neither will your partner.
The top level of communication is transparency—being completely open with the other person. Transparency means sharing the real you, from the heart. Level-one communication requires a deep degree of trust, commitment, and friendship.
You reserve the transparency level for your spouse and perhaps a few others who are very close to you. Becoming transparent with many people can be dangerous. For example, sharing too much of who you are with someone of the opposite sex can lead to an affair.
When spouses reach the transparency level, they operate with oneness. One can kindly say to the other, "I think you're angry. Is there something bothering you?"
And the other can answer, "I think you're right. Maybe what is making me so mad is what my boss said to me in that meeting yesterday"
Reaching this level of meaningful communication is not easy, but the rewards far outweigh the cost. We all long deeply to be heard and understood. The most natural place for this to occur is within the safe harbor of a healthy marriage. That "safe" harbor can be created and maintained only by a couple committed to each other. At its root, love is a commitment. In marriage, it's a covenant that embodies the commitment that brings freedom: "Perfect love casts out fear."

September 9, 2004 - Grand Hyatt Hotel, New York City
Meeting Date: September 9, 2004
Meeting Place: Grand Hyatt Hotel, New York City, New York
Meeting Called to Order
With President Mac McKerral presiding, the meeting of the board of directors of the Society of Professional Journalists was called to order at 8:15 a.m. on Thursday, September 9, 2004, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City.
Roll Call
In addition to McKerral, the following were in attendance for all or a portion of the meeting: President-elect Irwin Gratz; Secretary-Treasurer David Carlson (via telephone); Immediate Past President Robert Leger; Vice President for Campus Chapter Affairs Jim Highland; Directors at Large Jim Parker and Christine Tatum; Advisers at Large Mead Loop and Neil Ralston; Campus Representatives Tasha Braggs and Amanda Lutz; Regional Directors Guy Baehr, Ann Augherton, Holly Fisher, Bruce Cadwallader, Vicky Whitaker, Dave Aeikens, Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell (via telephone), Travis Poling, Scott Maben and Clint Brewer; Executive Director Terrence G. Harper; and Deputy Executive Director Julie F. Grimes. Deidre Connor, staff reporter for The Working Press, was also present for the meeting.
Weekend Business Activities
Leger reminded the board of its policies regarding election campaigns: no sitting board member should actively campaign for a candidate in a contested race. Candidates in contested races will speak at the Friday business session, and elections will be held Saturday afternoon.
The following board members will oversee elections during the following regional meetings: Gratz in Region 1; Parker in Region 4; Highland in Region 5; Leger in Regions 7 and 9; and Ralston in Region 8.
During the delegate sessions, the following board members will serve as sergeants-at-arms: Aeikens, Lutz, Braggs, Brewer and Loop.
The Credentials Committee will include Membership Chair Mark Scarp, Chapter Doctor Kyle Niederpruem, and others to be named by McKerral.
Approval of Minutes
Upon proper motion and second by Parker and Cadwallader, respectively, the board of directors approved the minutes from the May 15, 2004 board of directors meeting.
President's Report
McKerral briefly reviewed the past year's activities.
Vice President for Campus Chapter Affairs
Highland briefly referenced his report, which was available in the board packet.
Regional Directors
Reports from Regions 2, 3, 6, and 12 were noted in the board packet.
At Large Directors
Tatum noted that she spoke recently about media coverage in times of disaster. Parker reported that his recent activities included responding to questions about the proposed bylaws changes.
Executive Director's Report
Harper referred to his written report, available in the board packet. Financial reports were distributed electronically the week prior to the board meeting. Harper asked the board to discuss his initial marketing and branding report.
Upon proper motion and second by Leger and Aeikens, respectively, the board voted to create a Public Relations Committee. The committee should review the organization's mission statement and make a report to the board about potential changes.
Harper reported that a study of nonmembers currently being conducted should provide useful information regarding marketing and branding.
Board affirmed its support for the current direction of the communications/marketing plan.
Harper reported that the 2005 Convention will be Oct. 23-25 – a Sunday-Tuesday pattern – at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. Future convention possibilities include Williamsburg, Va., in 2007 and Indianapolis in 2009, for the organization's centennial anniversary.
The board discussed the organization's proposal to provide a headquarters and support for the National Freedom of Information Coalition.
The hosting arrangement would be a team effort between SPJ and the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation. The organizations would provide physical space, bookkeeping, tax and audit services, and some other administrative services.
Upon proper motion and second by Parker and Ralston, respectively, the board reaffirmed its commitment to host that National Freedom of Information Coalition.
Next, Harper reported that hiring an editor for Quill would be his first priority when he returned to Indianapolis. He is sensitive to the Committee on Quill's recommendations, which will have to be balanced against the organization's budget and resources.
Board members discussed the need for an editorial plan and a revenue plan. They questioned SPJ's current advertising arrangement and noted the need to research why ad accounts ended in the past. SPJ also needs to provide advertising representatives with targeting information for advertisers, including return on investment.
Harper reported that leadership continues to research opportunities for a partnership with the Foundation for American Communications. Currently, FACS will provide programming for local chapters and regional conferences.
The Journalist
Board members discussed The Journalist magazine, which was launched at a reception at Forbes Magazine on Tuesday, Sept. 7, and was provided to all convention participants. It will be distributed to all SPJ members with the September issue of Quill magazine.
Gratz asked board members to carefully consider this year's effort and make recommendations for the magazine's future. This information will be compiled and a presentation will come before the board at its spring meeting.
Magazine publisher Amy Lemel reported that she was meeting with the head of Barnes and Noble to negotiate distribution of the magazine in college bookstores. Lemel said the biggest obstacle with the magazine had been that there was nothing for advertisers to see when making a decision about advertising with the magazine.
SPJ printed about 3,000 extra copies of The Journalist. Staff will make a decision about the best use of those copies.
Upon proper motion and second by Parker and Lutz, respectively, the board voted to formally acknowledge and thank all those involved in the production of The Journalist for their hard work.
The report from Steve Geimann, representative to the Accrediting Council for Education in Journalism and Mass Communications report was available in the board packet.
Changes to Green Eyeshade Awards
Baehr proposed the following changes to the Green Eyeshade Awards program:
Collapse the large and small market broadcast categories into one market size
Eliminate the following broadcast categories
sports commentary
criticism and editorial
Combine the broadcast categories of deadline reporting and non-deadline reporting into a single general news reporting category
Combine the online categories of deadline reporting and non-deadline reporting into a single general news reporting category
Addition of SPJ's "accuracy requirement"
Discounted entry fee for SPJ members
It was noted that adopting the above changes would reduce the number of categories from 70 to 39 which would be much more manageable. It was noted that the SPJ staff would be coordinating the Green Eyeshade Awards program and banquet to allow the chapter to focus on membership and other chapter development activities. The chapter is in agreement with this course of action.
Upon a proper motion and second, the board approved the changes to the Green Eyeshade Awards outlined above.
Ethnic Media Award Collaboration Created
Baehr presented a proposal to create an Ethnic Media Award to be developed by the Awards & Honors Committee, in conjunction with the Diversity Committee. The award will be created and marketed this year. It will be marketed with the Sigma Delta Chi Awards brochures but will not be part of the SDX awards program at this time.
Upon proper motion and second by Highland and Whitaker, respectively, the board created the Ethnic Media Award as outlined by Lehrman and Baehr. Tatum abstained.
The Ethnic Media Collaboration Award proposal is attached to these minutes as Exhibit A.
Chapter Doctor
The board reviewed the report of the Chapter Doctor and the staff notes about chapters requiring board action, based on the recently implemented star ranking system.
A motion and second by Leger and Poling respectively to refer the list of chapters to the Executive Committee for appropriate action at the January 2005 meeting was withdrawn.
The board reviewed the list of 18 chapters; regional directors were asked for input about the activity level of the chapters.
Chapter Charters Revoked
Upon proper motion and second by Gratz and Cadwallader, respectively, the board revoked the charters of the following professional chapters:
Northern Marianas
Silicon Valley
West Texas
Chapters Placed on Probation
Upon proper motion and second by Gratz and Whitaker, the board placed the following professional chapters on probation for one year and recommended that by January 2005, there be a plan in place for contact and assistance to these chapters.
Brazos Valley
East End
Indiana East
Las Vegas
Mid South
Northwest Indiana
The report from the Membership Committee was available in the board packet. Committee Chair Mark Scarp highlighted the work of the Ad Hoc Committee on Young Journalists and recommended that the board approve membership opportunities for international journalists, with perhaps the establishment of an international chapter.
McKerral instructed the Bylaws Committee to work with the International Journalism Committee to make a recommendation regarding non-U.S. citizen memberships, to be considered by delegates at the 2005 convention.
Committee on Quill
Carlson reviewed the report of the Committee on Quill. The report was available in the board packet and included the results of Quill survey with 570 responses. Carlson reported that the committee recommended that Quill be retained as a print magazine but its content be focused more clearly and shifted to differ from that of CJR and AJR. The committee suggested an "edgier" magazine with more "how-to" content, personality profiles and in-depth reports. The committee further recommends that most SPJ news continue to be segregated from the rest of the magazine content. The committee also recommends the Society find the resources to hire a seasoned editor and commission an outside design firm to recreate the "look" of the magazine.
The group discussed whether SPJ's marketing strategy was considered in making recommendations. They also discussed the adequacy of funds allocated to the magazine.
Carlson suggested he would like to see a vote of confidence from the board supporting the committee's recommendations.
McKerral named Brewer to chair an ad hoc committee that will develop a business plan for Quill magazine. Gratz also will appoint an editorial advisory board to work with the magazine.
Upon a proper motion and second by Highland and Parker, the board commended Carlson and the committee for an outstanding job.
Model Anti-SLAPP Statute and Lobbying Plan
Bruce Sanford, Baker & Hostetler LLP, presented the Model Anti-SLAPP Statute and Lobbying Plan drafted by the firm at the request of the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation. He reviewed the importance of the plan to the press and the public.
He encouraged local chapters to examine steps they can take and encouraged the FOI Committee to select a couple of states to approach chapters about participating and focus the organization's efforts. Sanford also would like to see Quill do something with the information.
Sanford will soon provide a list of states lacking Anti-SLAPP laws and information about which states have good laws and which ones need improvement.
The group commented on the value of Baker & Hostetler's quarterly newsletter, and Sanford indicated that parts of it might be available for publication in Quill. The board is interested in developing ways to get Baker & Hostetler's information and resources directly in the hands of SPJ members.
Sanford distributed and briefly reviewed Baker & Hostetler's Annual Report to the Board of Directors.
Young Journalists Committee
The report of the Young Journalists Committee was available in the board packet. Fisher reviewed the report and recommended the creation of "Generation J," a young journalists committee.
Stipend Guidelines
Fisher presented the new guidelines for stipend use by board members.
Upon proper motion and second by Aeikens and Whitaker, respectively, the board approved the stipend guidelines for board members and committee chairs.
The guidelines are attached to these minutes as Exhibit B.
UNITY Update
Gratz briefly updated the group on the organization's presence at the 2004 UNITY Conference.
Tatum suggested that SPJ continue to build a relationship with Keith Woods at The Poynter Institute.
Ethics Book Update
Gratz and McKerral updated the group on the plans for a new edition of "Doing Ethics in Journalism." McKerral said he hopes to see the book back in print within a year. At this point, the authors need to complete their timeline and decide on the division of labor. This time, SPJ will focus on self publishing opportunities and distribution/fulfillment agreements, rather than utilizing a publisher.
Anonymous Sources Resolution
A copy of a proposed resolution concerning the use of anonymous sources was included in the board packet. McKerral instructed board members who had thoughts about the proposed resolution to contact Resolutions Committee Chair Al Cross as soon as possible during the weekend.
Closing Comments
McKerral recognized all board members who would be leaving the board after this convention. He specifically noted Whitaker's 10 years consecutive service to the board.
There being no further business to come before the board, McKerral entertained a motion from Leger to adjourn. Lutz provided the second. The motion carried unanimously and the meeting was adjourned at approximately 12:40 p.m. on Thursday, September 9, 2004.
Date: August 26, 2004
From: Sally Lehrman, Diversity Committee
Guy Baehr, Awards and Honors Committee
SUBJ: Ethnic media collaboration award
For: Board of Directors
Last spring the executive committee discussed the possibility of a new award that would acknowledge the importance of ethnic media and the need to report fairly, accurately, and in an engaging manner on immigrant communities in the United States. The committee agreed on the idea in principle, but wanted to submit it to the full board for a vote.
The category:
NEW AMERICA AWARD FORCOLLABORATIVE REPORTING ON U.S. ETHNIC AFFAIRS REPORTING or
NEW AMERICAN AWARD FOR PUBLIC SERVICE in ETHNIC AFFAIRS REPORTING
What the award would honor:
Collaborations between ethnic and mainstream media that result in depth coverage of an important issue facing immigrant, African American, Spanish-speaking, or American Indian communities in the United States.
Why the ethnic media?
If SPJ takes leadership in this area, it could have powerful impact. Ethnic print and broadcast outlets represent an increasingly important sector of the media. An award would help promote excellence in their work, as well as encourage productive bridges between the ethnic media and mainstream media. Many news organizations that want to do a better job covering their multicultural populations are recognizing the benefit of collaborations. The ethnic media bring access, cultural competency, and an intimate knowledge of their communities to the mainstream outlets, which in return contribute resources, professional skills, and access to the institutions of government and industry. Encouraging collaboration, not just good reporting, promotes exchange that can contribute to better reporting on and within ethnic communities.
We may want to consider a "diversity" award at some point, but other organizations already offer these.
We propose the following:
Start with a "pilot" SPJ award that could later be wrapped into the SDX offerings.
To mitigate costs, however, the award would be publicized together with the SDX lineup (as a flier insert the first year) and the winners would accept their award at the national SDX Awards dinner. This plan serves a second purpose of making the ethnic media more aware of the importance and prestige of the SDX Awards.
Start with simply an honor, but consider a cash award within a couple of years. ($1,000 to each organization, for instance.)
Encourage people to provide their own translations with their entries, but incorporate a backup system of our own translations of finalists. New California Media has said they will help us with this, although they would like us to help pay for translators. ($3,000)
SPJ would be responsible for judging, but we may want NCM or IPA-New York to help select finalists and then have our committee select the winner. We also could ask them to contribute one or two judges to our panel for this purpose.
Enlist New California Media, IPA-New York, and the Journalism Resources Institute to publicize both this and the regular SDX awards.
NCM would announce the award at their own gathering, the NCM Expo and Awards, in addition to the SDX Awards event.
Some context from my Knight Foundation report on diversity, "News as American As America":
A widening influence
While mainstream media leaders struggle with diversity issues, the ethnic and community media continue to grow. These "niche" outlets reach 84 percent of Californians who self-identify as Hispanic, African American or Asian American, according to a New California Media survey – and many turn to these news sources first. In New York City, half of African Americans said they relied on black-generated media and nearly one quarter said these were their most important source of news.
Thanks for considering this proposal.
Society of Professional Journalists
Stipend Guidelines for Board Members and Committee Chairs
effective September 12, 2004
As of Fiscal Year 2005, officers, board members and committee chairs receive the following stipends for work and travel done on behalf of SPJ:
President: $7,500
President-Elect: $3,000
Secretary-Treasurer: $1,500
Immediate Past President: $1,500
Regional Directors (12): $750
Committee Chairs (10): $500
Directors/Advisors-at-large (4): $750
Vice President Campus Chapter Affairs*: $3,540
Student Representatives (2)*: $1,700
*There is no set limit on stipends for the VPCCA and Student Representatives, but the Executive Director must approve any reimbursable expenses for the people serving in these offices before the expenses are incurred. The dollar amounts listed here for VPCCA and the Student Representatives are approximations.
Reimbursement Guidelines
Board members and committee chairs receive annual stipends for work they do on behalf of the Society. They should remember they have a fiduciary responsibility to the Society and stipends should be used strictly for work related to SPJ. Board members and committee chairs also should solicit support from their employers (when applicable) to help cover expenses incurred while conducting SPJ business.
Approved reimbursements include:
Car Rental
Mileage for personal vehicle (prevailing IRS rate)
Meals (up to $50 per day)
Miscellaneous travel expenses, including parking fees, cab fares and toll fees
The following expenses will not be reimbursed:
National Convention and Regional Conference registration fees within the home region (including meal event tickets)
Alcohol-related expenses
The goal of the stipend is to offset travel expenses for regional directors traveling within their regions, for directors-at-large traveling around the country for SPJ business and for officers who makes trips and visits on behalf of SPJ. Board members and committee chairs should use their best judgment when requesting reimbursements.
Board members should make every effort to stretch the SPJ dollar by using the least expensive form of travel. Mileage reimbursement requests should not exceed the cost of the lowest non-refundable airfare.
Board members are free to secure their own lodging for any SPJ event, however, the reimbursement request should not exceed the rate at the "headquarters" hotel.
Expenses incurred for spouses/significant others are not eligible for reimbursement.
A key word to insert before all eligible reimbursements is "reasonable." SPJ does not expect volunteers to stay in shoddy hotels and eat every meal at fast-food establishments. Likewise, staying at five-star hotels and dining at expensive restaurants every night is similarly discouraged.
Reimbursement Requests
Requests should be submitted using an SPJ expense account form (available from SPJ headquarters). Receipts or copies of receipts must be included with all reimbursement requests.
All requests for reimbursement should be submitted within 30 days to SPJ headquarters. Expense reports submitted more than 60 days after the expenses have been incurred shall not be reimbursed.
The stipend timeline runs from the close of the national convention to the close of the following national convention in accordance with board member and committee chair terms. This ensures outgoing board members or committee chairs do not tap into their successor's stipends.
Questions about reimbursements or requests for waivers should be directed to SPJ's Executive Director.

No police action on Rennard claims (From Banbury Cake)

No police action on Rennard claims
5:42pm Thursday 26th September 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
Former Liberal Democrat chief executive Lord Rennard will face no further police action over claims that he sexually harassed women party activists.
Scotland Yard did not name the peer but said tonight that there was insufficient evidence to support a prosecution against a 52-year-old man.
He was accused of behaving inappropriately towards a number of women in the party but repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
The force said: " Following reports in the media in February, officers from the Specialist Crime and Operations Command launched an investigation into allegations of sexual touching.
"Various inquiries were conducted - including meeting with officials from the Liberal Democrat party - and a number of individuals were spoken to as part of the investigation.
"Those inquiries have now concluded that there is insufficient evidence to support a prosecution; a decision which has been made by police."
Officers had "early investigative consultation" with the Crown Prosecution Service, but did not refer the case for full advice to decide what to do, the force said.
Lord Rennard was interviewed under caution in June after he voluntarily went to a police station in south London.
Scotland Yard said it was agreed from the beginning that any internal misconduct issues would be referred back to the Lib Dems.
A Liberal Democrat spokesman said : " The decision by the police not to prosecute Lord Rennard with a criminal offence means that the party's disciplinary process, led by Alistair Webster QC, can now resume.
"We consider the allegations made against Lord Rennard, which he strenuously denies, to be extremely serious and we can now continue with our internal inquiry into these allegations.
"We would encourage anyone who has information that could be relevant to the inquiry to get in touch through our whistle-blower hotline, run by Public Concern at Work, on 020 7404 6609."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and two other Lib Dem ministers - Danny Alexander and Jo Swinson - were sharply criticised in a review into the party's handling of the complaints made against Lord Rennard.
Businesswoman Helena Morrissey, who conducted the inquiry, said that there should have been a formal investigation launched when his alleged victims first came forward.
In February it emerged that a number of woman activists and party workers had made allegations of unwanted advances, but when they reported the claims little action was taken.

Scottsdale water resources executive director announces his departure
Aug. 20, 2012
Contact: Kelly Corsette, communications and public affairs director, (480) 312-2336, firstname.lastname@example.com
Scottsdale water resources executive director announces his departure
Scottsdale Water Resources Executive Director Marshall Brown has accepted a position as director of water for the city of Aurora, Colorado. Brown, who has successfully led Scottsdale's water resources division since 2007, cited new opportunities and family as the reasons for his departure.
"This was an extremely difficult decision for me, but I have a fantastic professional opportunity to join a great organization in a community that is closer to family," said Brown. "I truly enjoyed working for Scottsdale and with all of the dedicated professionals here. I wish everyone the best in the future."
Brown will remain Scottsdale's water resources executive director through the end of October to assist with the transition to new leadership. He starts Nov. 5 in Aurora. Scottsdale plans a nationwide recruitment to select a replacement.
"It has been my pleasure to work with Marshall," said Dan Worth, Scottsdale's acting city manager. "He is a true professional who will certainly be missed. I appreciate that he will be staying with us through the end of October to assist in providing us the most orderly transition possible."
Scottsdale's water resources division includes more than 200 full-time employees who operate one of the most advanced municipal water and wastewater treatment and delivery systems in the nation. In 2011, the department treated an average of 68 million gallons of drinking water a day, reclaimed more than 24 million gallons of wastewater a day for reuse and storage and processed more than 22,000 test samples to assure Scottsdale meets or surpasses all state and federal regulations.

Customizing SMF > Graphics and Templates
Individual Icons for Board Index topics?
Any metal gear solid fans here, might have a better understanding of this ::)
Below is one section of the main page/board index of my forum.
as you can see, there are different games.
The Icon I use for the board index is actually an icon made for Metal Gear Solid 4.
I thought it would be a good idea to create different versions of an icon for each game,
i.e.: sons of liberty 2, snake eater 3.
Im assuming this would be to complicated, but its worth asking,
would anybody know how I could display individual icons, instead of ONE icon for all?
(I know ill have to make 3 versions for each)
There is a mod for this - http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=511
I love you. thank you sir.
