MANISTEE -- Officials will be salvaging a sunken charter boat near the First Street Pier in Manistee Monday.
The U.S. Coast Guard station Manistee was called to the area by a passer-by around 5:00 Saturday morning, when the boat "Kid-A-Gain" started taking on water.
Seven people were rescued from the water, but the first mate, 55-year-old Michael Bachus, required CPR and was later pronounced dead. Everyone was wearing life jackets.
An autopsy is being performed to determine the cause of death. Bachus is a retired Sergeant Major from the United States Marine Corp. and a veteran of the first Gulf War. He is survived by his wife and three daughters.
Two other people in the boat were taken to West Shore Medical Center. Four others were treated and released.

MONTAGUE TOWNSHIP, MI (AP) -- A West Michigan native is living his dream as a crewmember on an intercontinental sailing trip. Muskegon native Peter Berdinka says he's always wanted to sail the world's oceans. After retiring from the B.C. Cobb power plant last July, he's doing just that. Berdinka is a 55-year-old resident of Muskegon County's Montague Township and writes about what he calls his amazing adventure in a shipboard email to Mlive.com
He's a trainee on the crew of Barque Picton Castle, a three-masted sail training ship based in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. There are 43 people aboard the ship, which passed through the Panama Canal on the way to the Galapagos Islands. Berdinka says the adventure is an "amazing, fulfilling and educational experience."

Windows is different. People in "the industry" have this negative view of Windows from various problems, most of them from ten years ago. But the average person simply sees Windows, Microsoft and its leadership as mostly in a good light, along the lines of a company like Disney.
I think carrying the brand across all products makes sense. In fact, I have written that I think there is too much focus on cross platform and interoperability. What people really want is join one or the other camp. Look at Appleheads. They don't care what anyone does but Apple. I think there can be Windowsheads. There are certainly now Googleheads with Android and Chromebooks. And Samsungheads especially if they go all the way with Tizen.
People want to join a team and play for it from top to bottom, soup to nuts, car to home to mobile to work area to gaming room. So these OS/device combinations become like NFL teams with their own colors, styles, names. And so on...
It's just that I think they need a shot in the arm.
Like just call the product "Berry" (reminicent of Apple). They could do all these "flavors" of phones for girls, Powerpuff style, like Strawberry, Blueberry...
Or else go retro ironic and hire Chuck Berry.
(No doubt it's all been done before...but still...something...new!)
BlackBerry loyalists are dwindling, but they're die-hard. They're looking for a reason to stay with BlackBerry. Maybe this new announcement will be enough.
Hi jabailo (John),
Many people don't even know the name Research In Motion. They know their phone as a BlackBerry and think that's also the company name. However, BlackBerry is a very well known brand, so changing the name makes sense. In fact, in some countries, BlackBerry is still a premium device, although that aura certainly has been fading.
However, I understand what you're saying about changing RIM's name to something that isn't burdened with the problems of the BlackBerry phones over the past several years.
In fact, some tech writers have suggested that Microsoft shouldn't have used "Windows" in the branding of Windows Phone or with the "Windows RT" tablet because of the negative connotations about the Windows operating system. Some suggested the name Metro, based on what Microsoft previously called its tiles-based GUI.
But with Ballmer at the helm, there's no way anything relating to Windows wouldn't be called...Windows.
If I were BlackBerry I would change my name...to anything other than BlackBerry! I guess I just have this really strong image of what a BlackBerry is -- this phone with the chicklet physical keyboard, being used by a 35 year old marketing executive talking non-stop in her car on the LA Freeway...in the mid 1990s! I'm sure those exist, but trendy people want their keyboards on the screen.

We have made a mistake. We have made a fatal error. We have to rethink our path. We have to make a course adjustment! The religious culture many of us are a part of has bought into a misunderstanding of what being a follower of Jesus really is.
This error has resulted in an impotent faith that is pedestrian at best and leads to frustration and disappointment in our lives. The error is how we think about God.
The 2014 election race is officially on. Fifteen candidates filed to run for local offices at the Grant County Clerk's Office within the first week of filing. The first day candidates could file began Nov. 6 and the deadline to file for candidacy in the 2014 May primary is Jan. 28. The election will includes races for many county offices, including judge-executive, sheriff, jailer, clerk, magistrates, coroner and county attorney.
A Crittenden woman is getting more than her 15 minutes of fame as the current champion of the popular TV game show Jeopardy. Rani Peffer, a corporate finance manager at Procter and Gamble, is a four-day champion of the show, which taped in September.

It happened so fast Trish Merritt didn't even catch the ball. The 52-year-old retired Williamstown Elementary teacher was cheering on her beloved Cincinnati Bengals against the New England Patriots on Oct. 6 when running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis scored a pivotal touchdown.
Merritt, who was wearing a Green-Ellis jersey, saw the play up close and personal after moving up from her season ticket seats eight rows behind the end zone.
Grant County paused on Nov. 11 to honor the community's veterans.

MOLENA, Ga--It was a cloudy, rainy start to the 2013 National Raider Challenge Championships but by the end of Nov. 1, more than 1,100 cadets from 82 high schools across the nation—a record number—had registered for the event.

I was thinking about mentioning 'Birth of a Nation'. As with 'Triumph of the Will', regardless of the film's politics or attitudes it is a milestone in the history of cinema worthy of attention as well as interesting reflection on how these societies saw themselves. I have yet to watch either, mind you. Roger Ebert's review is worth reading: < http://tinyurl.com/c6y2f> [rogerebert.suntimes.com] |

Kernow-Ox, I had an opportunity to watch both films and both have powerful, if incorrect, messages. If you want to watch BOAN, I would recommend the restored version, which is in sepia-tone and not black and white. A shortened version of Triumph of the Will is available on DVD, but if you can find the entire film, I would recommend it over the abridged version. Best Rob |

"I can't verify it but perhaps they were playing the Jaunting Irish Car or the Irish Volunteer, thr former being the tune the Bonnie Blue Flag was based on and the latter a Federal tune set to the same melody." Thank you, David. I don't own a copy of the movie, so I did a google search to see if anyone else had thought it was the case, and I am not alone. Here's one of a few comments on it: * When the 54th is returning from its first battle and entering their camp, the Yankee camp band is playing the "Bonnie Blue Flag", which was closer to being the Confederate national anthem then the marching song, "Dixie." I seriously doubt that a Yankee band would play either, however, Lincoln after Lee's surrender asked the military band to play Dixie for him at the White House. (http://www.armchairgeneral.com/forums/archive/index.php?t-48488.html) Even if one of the alternative tunes was playing, most people whom watch the movie would hear "Bonnie Blue Flag", so I think this was just a goof in the movie, or perhaps even someone's little joke. Learning the origin of BBF was really interesting. An Irish melody, I take it? Who woulda thunk! Last edited on Sat Mar 29th, 2008 02:55 am by JoanieReb |

Kernow-Ox, I enjoyed the review that you posted. I find it truly amazing, from a cinematic viewpoint, that this movie was made in 1915. The clips from BoaN that the documentary showed, and the list of ground-breaking cinematic advances, were really amazing to me. I couldn't believe the battle scene was from 1915! Really liked this quote frome the review: "...allow me to rewind to a different quote from James Agee: "The most beautiful single shot I have seen in any movie is the battle charge in 'The Birth of a Nation.' I have heard it praised for its realism, but it is also far beyond realism. It seems to me to be a realization of a collective dream of what the Civil War was like..." I am going to make it a priory to see it now, as it certainly seems deserving of study on many levels, for better or worse. Last edited on Sat Mar 29th, 2008 03:28 am by JoanieReb |

Joanie when you watch Birth of a nation watch for certain "blacks" that are sooo whites in blackface. One has polka dotted shorts on . The film though has so many amazing shots . It is a classic film worth watching. Double feature, watch it then watch the General with Buster Keaton . Susan |

I've finally watched 'The Birth of a Nation'. I am restricting my comments and initial impressions to the first part of the film. What follows is a semi-coherent immediate reaction. There might be the odd spoiler, so if you don't wish to know which side won the Civil War you should look away now. No apologies for either the length of the post or its rambling nature. Most importantly, I should have taken Booklover's advice and ensured the version of 'The Birth of a Nation' I obtained was tinted. Certain scenes would probably been even more memorable tinted than in black and white. It's worth checking this beforehand, as now I have to track down a different version to see what I've missed out on. The review I linked to above was not misleading: the battle sequence is worth the entrance fee alone. It's not just that it is monochrome and thus creates the idea of Matthew Brady's work coming to life. Nor is it the mere fact of the silence of the piece, excluding the orchestral core, that makes it memorable. The battle by the river in Keaton's 'The General' is also silent, but is memorable more for both the steam train and for being the only film I've watched to get sight gags out of sniper fire. What works is the sense of scale. In the re-enactment of Pickett's Charge in 'Gettysburg', filmed in colour, with both sound and booming soundtrack, our attention is drawn to individuals or particular events in each shot. For much of the battle in 'BOAN', however, the soliders are little more than dots that stop moving. There is so much to take in, it's really hard to concentrate on just one part. Yet to maintain interest, we do get close-ups of individuals, of corpses, and of the worried Cameron family back home. Moreover, unlike 'Gettysburg', the soldiers look like they've been on starvation rations for months. Their desperation whilst in the trenches is visible and, more importantly, believable (I will defer to others as to the quality or cut of their uniforms). The only bit that doesn't work for me, other than a gormless but surprisingly invulnerable bugler, is where the 'Little Colonel' gives a dying Unionman a drink from his canteen just prior to leading a charge. I can forgive the dramatic and sentimental necessity of having the Northern son die next to the Southern son, but that is behind a copse rather than just outside one's trench prior to an attack. There is a dreamlike, if surprsingly honest (those mangled corpses we see briefly in cuts serve their grim purpose) quality to its portrayal of war, but the true cinematic highlight is the burning of Atlanta. Yes, it's clearly a cardboard cut out. But superimposing ghostly shadows of troops on the march over it makes it one of the most haunting scenes I've seen. I know need to see the tinted version, as I can picture vibrant red and oranges rather than murky grey. For me, the most touching elements in the film concern the relationship of the daughters to their brothers. We see the usual excited recruit happily embracing his proud younger sister, but just as he leaves the frame she turns round to their mother in tears. I really can imagine such a scene occurring, and not just in 1861. Similarly, the extended take in which the younger southern sister tries to beautify her war-torn plain dresses with raw cotton prior to the homecoming of her surviving brother was also very moving, especially when compared to his rags and war-weary look. On a lighter note, they appear to have dug up Lincoln's corpse to play the President, and Ringo Starr makes a suitably leary sentinel at the hospital. The waxwork of Robert E Lee is far upstaged by the more plausible Grant. Oh, and despite the accurate 'facsimile' of Ford's Theatre, we're still left in the dark as to whether 'Our American Cousin' is actually worth watching. The first part of 'The Birth of a Nation', however, most certainly is. |

Update on Medicare mistake and disabled Tucsonan
Tuesday, August 14th, 2012About a month ago, I wrote about a Medicare mistake that created a big problem for a Tucsonan. Here's an update on that situtation.
The mistake was actually made at Social Security since this is the agency that processes enrollments for Medicare. In Donna's case, she was determined to be disabled by Social Security and somebody there decided her disability occurred well before she submitted her application. This happens on occasion, and the disabled person is very happy to learn they don't have to wait two years for Medicare coverage. Most people must wait 24 months to get Medicare after they win their Social Security Disability case.
Apparently, the backdating of Donna's disability status should not have happened, and Social Security did not realize it until Donna had already been on Medicare for three months.
Donna's Medicare was canceled, but someone at Social Security wrote a letter for Donna saying her COBRA coverage should be re-instated so she would not have a gap in health insurance coverage. Donna sent the letter to her last employer and had no problem getting back her COBRA plan.
Now Donna has to deal with the medical bills she incurred between April 1st and July 1. Her Medicare Advantage plan paid those bills and will now ask the doctors and labs for their money back. Then Donna will have to make sure the bills get re-submitted to her COBRA plan.
Donna is relieved that she has her expensive COBRA policy back, but she is overwhelmed by the complications she has faced over the last month. All of this has intensified her health problems, and Donna is suffering as a result of the "mistake". Of course, you can't sue the government for "pain and suffering".
Donna was helped by Dan Frey in Congressman Ron Barber's office who took quick action to get answers for her. Dan could not fix the Social Security mistake, but he made sure they acted quickly so Donna would not have a gap in her coverage. Dan is the "go-to-guy" if you have problems with Medicare or Social Security.
So Donna is back to square one and is covered again by her expensive COBRA plan. That's not as good as having Medicare, but it's not a bad as having no health insurance.

State of the art facilities to train the region's next generation of health professionals were unveiled in Taree today with the official opening of the University of Newcastle's Manning Education Centre.
With Australian Government funding of $6 million, the University's Manning Education Centre was opened by Mr Simon Crean, Minister for Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government, and Mr Rob Oakeshott, Member for Lyne.
University of Newcastle Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nick Saunders, said the initiative marked an important milestone in the delivery of quality higher education in regional Australia.
"The establishment of the Manning Education Centre is the result of significant local effort. Over the past 30 years, the Taree community and health service have been very supportive of the University and its medical students."
Comprising the University Department of Rural Health and the Rural Clinical School, the new centre provides support to medical, nursing and allied health students who are completing placements of up to 12 months. The centre includes a clinical laboratory with state of the art facilities for student training, contemporary teaching spaces, and a growing academic and research presence.
The University delivers University Department of Rural Health and Rural Clinical School programs in collaboration with Hunter New England Local Health Network and the University of New England.
"The Manning Education Centre initiative by the Australian Government and the University of Newcastle is an investment in delivering the next generation of the region's health workforce," Professor Saunders said.
"With our partners, the University is committed to providing the highest standards of education for our communities across the mid north coast, the Hunter and central coast regions."

Bad debt relief
Under the normal rules of VAT, a supplier has to account for output tax even if the supply has not been paid for. VAT cannot be reclaimed by issuing a credit note for the unpaid amount.
Please note: The use of cash accounting or certain retail schemes removes the problem of VAT on bad debts from the supplier.
Conditions for bad debt relief
The supplier must have supplied goods or services for a consideration in money, and must have accounted for and paid VAT on the supply.
All or part of the consideration must have been written off as a bad debt by making the appropriate entry in the refunds for bad debts account.
At least six months (but not more than four years and six months) must have elapsed since the later of the date of supply or the due date for payment.
Records required
Various records and evidence must be kept (for four years from the date of claim), in particular to identify:
- The time and nature of the supply, the purchaser, and the consideration
- The amount of VAT chargeable on the supply
- The accounting period when this VAT was accounted for and paid to HM Revenue & Customs
- Any payment received for the supply
- Entries in the refund for bad debts account
- The accounting period in which the claim is made
Procedure for claiming relief
The claim is made by including the amount of the refund in Box 4 of the VAT Return (Form 100) for the period in which the debt becomes over six months old.
After making the claim, all associated records as described above must be kept for four years from the date of the claim. However, this does not alter the standard requirement to retain all VAT related records for six years.
There are special rules for part-payments and mutual supplies.
Repayment of refund
Repayment of VAT refunded is required where payment is subsequently received or where the conditions have not been complied with.
A refund does not have to be repaid if the supplier is insured for the VAT inclusive amount of the debt and is repaid by the insurer.
Refund of input tax by debtor
Businesses are required to monitor the time they take to pay their suppliers, and repay input tax claimed if they have not paid within six months.
Subsequent payment of all or part of the debt will allow a corresponding reclaim of input tax.
Please call us if you would like further help or advice in this area.

Microsoft Takes Back Its 'Always-On' Connection And Used Game Policies For Xbox One
The most unpopular features of the new game console are getting scrapped, Microsoft has just announced.
Microsoft faced some very negative feedback when it announced that its new console, the Xbox One, would require an internet connection and be released with restrictions on used games. Kotaku wrote this about Microsoft's announcements of its polices: "The news was almost all bad." So, the company's just announced a new policy: "Haha, just kidding, you guys! We take back all that stuff you hated."
In a statement released on the Xbox website, Microsoft exec Don Mattrick said the two most unpopular features--restrictions on sharing used games and a mandatory internet connection--would be scrapped entirely. Internet connection will now be "just like on Xbox 360," meaning no connection is required to play games, while there "will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360."
That's a major about-face for the company, which as recently as E3 hadn't budged on the policy, even after rival Sony played up the lack of restrictions on its PlayStation 4 console. The announcement is perhaps even more surprising coming this late in the game: the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are both planned for a holiday release this season. (Either Microsoft developers will be working overtime, or those requirements aren't as integrated into the system as Microsoft seemed to suggest.) The turn-on-a-dime audible was probably also nudged by Sony announcing that its PlayStation 4 would cost $100 less than the Xbox One: $399 to $499.
There's not much word yet on how this audible will affect the Xbox 360 as a whole. In the statement, Mattrick said the "changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One," but it's not clear which "scenarios" that extends to. Whether this means an almost completely different system from what Microsoft has been pitching remains to be seen.
i just cant wait, people are sooo easy to fool. just because they dont have this feature right now whos to say they dont introduce it as one of there "grand features" through a system update about 3 months in? they will have already gotten the sale on the console a few games accessories and subs and then bam always on drm.
my best guess was that MS new that people would be pissed about Always on drm but not as pissed about a 24 hour checkin which was most likely only implemented to deter hacking of there console.
so they disable it for now but still keep it ready in the system and once there is a system breach they will flip that "feature" back on, but not before trying to sell everyone on why its some grand thing.
No surprise, remember the amazon poll of 21,000 consumers; 94.7% said they prefer the ps4 over an xbox one. Perhaps the results were slightly skewed from confusion between the original xobx and the xbox 3 called xbox one... xbox 2 was called 360... I seriously doubt Microsoft knows how to count.
I wouldn't be surprised MS eventually offers a $100 lower cost unit without the kinect.
@adaptation oh i fully understand that both companies are both creeps and do not care about there customers. steam on the other hand makes gaming just as easy as gaming on consoles theres no reason person cannot play there pc on there tv even if they are far away from each other. there are tons of addons, joysticks, controllers, arcade setups, keyboards, mice, headgear, headphones, and what not. valves steam is also a very highly commended development company that strives on customer satisfaction and usually exceeds the customers wants/needs with super deals. package games for multiple friend discount, and soon the ability to lend your digital content to a friend to play? why? why would anyone give into a MS or SONY console?
early 2014 im expecting:
8 core haswell-e 20MB L3 cpu - released
128gb ddr4 2133mhz ram - released
gtx titan cpu - price drop
along with plex or xbmc as a media center and how do people come up with the idea that buying a console is even remotely smart?
Absolutely love Microsoft these days. I would never buy a PS in a million years. I do wish that SSX Tricky Sequels would come out on Xbox but I can't wait for Halo5. I am uber happy with Xbox live and the fact that I know longer have to pay for cable or satellite TV. I have enjoyed watching Microsoft grow and their OS and gaming platform has come a long way. Other gaming consoles may throw in a slightly better peripheral, here and there, but as a whole Msoft is 1000 times better than it was even 5 years ago. I would have bought the new console regardless. Who doesn't have a connection these days? Bandwidth is almost as cheap as water now.
"Do not try and bend the spoon. That is impossible. Only try and realize the truth - there is no spoon."
I guess Microsoft realize it is a profit organization and annoying the market is not productive towards profit.
Now they just to come out with Microsoft Winodos 8.2 or 9.0 or what ever they call it and have the user in mind, sales may actually go up.

500GB HD (weak)
8GB DDR3 RAM (could be better)
Blu-ray drive (awesome)

"Using the new version of SmartGlass in conjunction with the Xbox One, you can start single player games from a tablet, or view leaderboards and achievements. Xbox One "Smart Match" will also be able to set up multiplayer matches with other players in the background while you play single player games. What's more, the Xbox One will no longer be constrained by the limits that the Xbox 360 was - your friends list will no longer be limited to 100 friends, and Microsoft Points will be replaced with real money...
The new Xbox One has Kinect functionality built into its very core. To turn the console on, you need only say the words "Xbox on" - the console is always listening.
The demo showed the ability to switch between games, videos, music and live TV instantaneously using simple voice commands such as "Xbox watch TV". You can even ask to watch a specific channel - HBO was an example they used - and Xbox will take you there straight away.
Microsoft says that Kinect 2 is so fast and powerful that it detects motion in just 13 billionths of a second - the time it takes light to get from you and into the camera.
The Kinect sensor as a resolution of 1080p which means its footage will look great on your HD TV, and it captures video at 60fps which means footage that's lovely and smooth.
The camera also has a field of view that's 60 per cent bigger than the original Kinect which means less faffing around trying to stand in the exact spot it tells you to. That combined with the more powerful processor means you'll be able to get a lot more people gaming with Kinect all at one time.
What's more, Microsoft says that the new Kinect uses infra-red, which means it works in complete darkness."
The new Xbox controller is very much based on what's come before, but under the hood has been upgraded with over 40 technical and design innovations. Updated directional pad, thumb sticks and contours aim to deliver greater precision and control, while new vibrating "impulse triggers" promise precise fingertip feedback and "an unprecedented level of gameplay immersion". The Xbox One Wireless Controller is designed to work in concert with the new Kinect, allowing the two to be paired automatically to create seamless player syncing...
One last feature of the gamepad that should please gamers is the low-power sleep mode it'll slip into if you step away from your TV. But instead of switching off completely, a la Xbox 360 pad, it'll wake up as soon as you pick it up again.
The Xbox One games will come on Blu-ray discs but they're only for one-time use. Once you've installed the games onto your hard drive, you no longer need them as the game is tied to your Xbox Live account. This is a similar idea to that employed by Steam and Uplay on the PC.
Live is the most popular online gaming platform on the planet and it's getting a huge behind-the-scenes overhaul for the new generation.
While current games servers number roughly 15,000, Microsoft is expanding that to a barely conceivable 300,000 in order to ensure you have instant access to your games and content no matter where you are.
Microsoft announced back in February that its own games studios will release 15 games in the first year of the Xbox One's life cycle. Other than that, we also know that FIFA 14 will launch on the console with exclusive content, and the new COD game, Call of Duty: Ghosts, will also have exclusive content on the Xbox.
The confirmed exclusive titles are Forza Motorsport 5, Quantum Break, Halo 5 and Ryse. Many other cross platform titles have also been confirmed and you can get the full lowdown on them all over on OXM's Xbox One games page.
Because the Xbox One uses a completely different system architecture to that of previous Xbox consoles, it will not be compatible with any Xbox 360 games.
However, it is yet to be seen whether the cloud might come to the rescue and allow games to be streamed over the web. Perhaps E3 has the answer...
Strong rumours were building that Microsoft was planning a double assault on the console market. The new Xbox would allegedly be joined in the cabinet by an Xbox MIni - a small, Apple TV-like device based on Windows 8, with the ability to stream Xbox 360 games from the cloud. However, this appears now to be completely false - a rumour likely spawned from the Xbox One's focus on TV integration.
On the first day of E3 2013, Amazon EU announced that it had taken more pre-orders for the Xbox One than the PS4. However, the figures were actually pretty close - a difference of just 2.4 per cent.
Amazon also says pre-orders for the Xbox One are already 20 per cent higher than they were before the launch of the Xbox 360 in 2005.
We'll have a better idea of which console is likely to lead the charge into the living room when we've gleaned more information at E3 2013, but looking at the specs that we already know, we've made an early comparison."

Cool extra info!!!
Thanx! ;)

@D49: I think you might be a little confused. Or maybe, hopefully, i'm confused.
"I am uber happy with Xbox live and the fact that I know longer have to pay for cable or satellite TV"
I don't think this is true. I thought this feature was all about being able to plug in you current cable to your xbox via... HDMI i think?... Then you can easily make the switch between Xbox and TV with your voice commands or hand motions. Either way i'm very excited for everything about the XB1. I just don't think you are correct about not having to pay for satellite or cable.
@Wonder: lol Windows 8.2, I like it. I honestly don't understand everybody's hatred toward Windows 8. I mean there are annoying gimmicky features, and no start menu. But there are easy work arounds. I downloaded a free third party start menu that works great. As far as i'm concerned Windows 8 is as stable as Windows 7 and runs flawlessly on my PC. I'm at work now, but i think it's either 6 or 8 core AMD 3.5ghz 10gb ram. 1gb dedicated graphics card. Pretty mid level consumer PC i paid about $600 for 6 months ago.
I'm no proponent of piracy but there are decent emulators for ps3 and 360, the closeness of the hardware to normal pc's will probably make the ps4 and xb1 even easier to emulate. With the elimination of daily spy-ins you could even buy the games and run them on an emulator.
@Pete444 I like windows 8, got it for dirt cheap. It runs fast and smooth and putting the start button back in took less than five minutes.
I have XBMC running on my pi, still haven't gotten the hulu app to run yet (I'll never subscribe to hulu plus out of principle) I don't think netflix will run on it but I do have a ps3 for that.
yup, and what is to stop them from slipping this in as a update after you've already had your console for 6 months. It's Microsoft, they do shady things AS often as they can. How often do you hear people complain about something Microsoft mandated in their software?
If you want Microsoft to fix these types of things, you have to let them fall a little before you buy ... if everyone immediately runs out and buy this, then they will come back to this idea within 6 months. (Look at the internet security bills that come up constantly, after one is defeated another one comes up titled differently asking for the same thing). There is nothing to stop them from doing this.
Xbox One from Microsoft will be another way for NSA to monitor the WORLD!
From the ground up of technology and the foundation of software, NSA wants to have its fingers in the new technology to ease its snooping!!!!
"Silicon Valley, NSA might be closer than we thought"
"....The Times was able to identify one company that has established such a team in the past: Skype. The Microsoft-owned company, the Times' sources claim, established a small team of employees to work on the "legal and technical issues in making Skype calls readily available" to the NSA and other law enforcement agencies. The effort, called Project Chess, was established in 2008 -- long before Microsoft acquired the company, the Times' sources say...."

- 1 1/2 1.5 1.5tablespoons TABLESPOON_USVolumehalf-and-half
- 3/4 .75 .75cup CUP_USVolumepeanut oil
- Prepare the Broth: In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chili, shallots, and garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the clams, mussels, star anise, cracked pepper, and orange juice. Stir and cover the pan. As the shellfish open, transfer them to a colander set over a bowl to catch their liquid; keep the pan covered as much as possible. Discard any shellfish that don't open after 10 minutes.
- After all the clams and mussels have been removed, return any liquid in the bowl to the pan. Uncover the pan and boil until the liquid reduces to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Add the saffron, cream, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce until the mixture is just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and strain its contents into a bowl; discard the solids. Remove the clam and mussel meat from the shells; reserve the meat and discard the shells.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil, add the potatoes, and simmer until just underdone, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain the potatoes and set aside. In a large, heavy soup pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and sauté the bacon until half-cooked. Stir in the garlic and poblano chili. Stir in the corn, onion, carrots, fennel, celery, and bell pepper. Add the cilantro, bay leaves, and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until the vegetables are just tender, about 8 minutes. Add the potatoes, reserved saffron cream, and clam and mussel meat. Keep warm.
- Prepare the Conch: Season the conch with salt and pepper to taste. Spread the flour and the panko on separate plates. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half. Dredge the conch slices in flour, then in egg wash, and finally in panko. Set aside on a large plate. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and heat the oil. Working in batches, sauté the conch until nicely browned on both sides. Drain on paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces.
To serve, ladle the soup into warm bowls, and scatter pieces of conch on top.
Note: Serves 8 to 10.
When I visited my friend Norman Van Aken in Miami for my Food Network TV show, the acclaimed chef not only took me on a tour of that city's vibrant Cuban neighborhood but also brought me back to his restaurant to join him in making his signature Caribbean-inspired chowder.

Yorkshire run rule over incomers
11:19am Tuesday 25th September 2012 in Sport
Yorkshire will have to turn their attention to other fast bowling targets after missing out on the signing of James Harris from Glamorgan.
The England Lions seamer, aged 22, has signed a deal with Middlesex despite interest from the White Rose county, who have made no secret of their desire to provide competition for the likes of Ryan Sidebottom, Steve Patterson and Moin Ashraf.
It is thought Northamptonshire's Jack Brooks is high on the county's list of priorities after exercising a release clause in his contract. Yorkshire were interested in the 28-year-old midway through last year before he opted to sign a new deal.
Former England Test bowler Sajid Mahmood could be another target having been released from Lancashire last week.
"Work is ongoing in terms of trying to make signings," confirmed Yorkshire's director of professional cricket Martyn Moxon.
"There's nothing to report. We're in discussions, but nothing definite's happened yet."
Anthony McGrath's future at the club is also still to be decided, with talks between both parties ongoing.
McGrath will not fly out to South Africa next Tuesday for their Champions League t20 campaign, starting for Yorkshire on October 9.
Yorkshire will have overseas batsman David Miller available for the first of their two qualifying matches against Uva Next, but he will not be available again until the last of four group 'B' matches against the Chennai Super Kings in Durban on October 22 should the county qualify for the group stages.
The powerful left-hander would then be available for the semi-final and the final on October 25 to 26 and 28.
Miller will instead play two four-day matches for the Dolphins in Pietermaritzburg between October 11 and 14 and 18 and 21.
Yorkshire will base themselves at St Stithians College in the Randberg area of Johannesburg next week before training at the Wanderers the day before their matches against Uva and then Trinidad and Tobago at Supersport Park in Centurion on October 9 and 10.
"With it being at altitude, we need to have a couple of days to allow the lads to get used to that," said Moxon.
"We will have a couple of days of light training to get their bodies moving at altitude. Then we've got three days of good practice before the two matches.
"We've not got any warm-up games against other teams, but we'll probably play a practice game among ourselves with a few of the St Stithians cricketers.
"Players from their first XI will make up the numbers."
Should Yorkshire make it into the group stages, their first match will be against their bowler Mitchell Starc's Sydney Sixers at Newlands in Cape Town. They would also play the Mumbai Indians and Highveld Lions.
