Parents want child with peanut allergy removed from school !
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 03-24-2011 - 8:56am
As more kids are diagnosed with food allergies, more schools are faced with figuring out how to deal with students who require a special environment. Should schools be expected to inconvenience all students when only one of them has a severe peanut allergy? This debate is currently playing out at a school in Florida...
A 6-year-old girl at a school in Florida has a peanut allergy so severe that she could have a reaction if she were to breath traces of nut dust in the air. Her elementary school in Edgewater, Fl., has taken extraordinary measures to accommodate her.
All students are now required to wash their hands and rinse out their mouths before stepping inside the classroom. Desks must be regularly wiped down with Clorox wipes. School administrators have banned all peanut products and snacks are no longer allowed in the class. Earlier this month, a peanut-sniffing dog walked through the school to make sure everyone is following the rules.... read more:

no peanut allergies, when DS was younger we thought he might have been allergic to cocoa or chocolate, one bite of anything chocolate resulted in rosey cheeks and little face bumps.
|Thu, 03-24-2011 - 11:32am
That child has just as much a right to free and public education as the rest of those students.
|Thu, 03-24-2011 - 3:15pm
I saw this on the today show this morning--I didn't read this article here, so I assuming it is the same.
|Thu, 03-24-2011 - 3:30pm
|Thu, 03-24-2011 - 4:06pm
This is about the third time I have had occasion to ask this question today.

Well, it's the Saturday we've been waiting for because the University of Louisville is playing host to Kentucky.
Getting Ready For The Governor's Cup
Tony Vanetti: Alright, well before we get to The Governor's Cup which happens this Saturday at noon, let's go back to the Notre Dame and Louisville game where there are dozens of reported Kentucky fans head to toe in Kentucky gear cheering for Notre Dame. Matt, just explain to me how the UK fan works [...]
Luck of the Cards
Notre Dame's kicker Kyle Brindza missed a last minute 32-yard field goal attempt to tie the game, handing Louisville a 31-28 victory in South Bend on Saturday.
UofL Watch Party in South Bend
UofL fans who headed to South Bend for the Notre Dame game were able to watch the Cards vs. Marshall basketball game on Nov. 21 in a great atmosphere at South Bend's Upper Deck at Four Winds Field.
Kentucky is…
I've spent more autumn days in Louisville or Lexington around blue-clad folks pontificating about "what Kentucky means" to them than I'd care to recall.
Snapper: The Silent Partner
He is the most important player on the University of Louisville roster, that you've probably never heard of.

Well said on the last paragraph. For some reasons, I found it really funny... don't know why.
How excellent! A truly positive and helpful addition to the miasma of suspect data. Thank you.
Remarkably, the official index appears to underestimate the real growth rate in China, if the "Keqiang index" were in fact a more accurate measure of economic growth. However, the "Keqiang index" suffers a critical flaw in that it grossly overweights the manufacturing sector, since the growth rate in the service sector is far less correlated with growth in cargo freight and energy consumption.

Q:Can I wash my Tretorn canvas shoes in the washing machine?
If yes, what temperature and cycle?
If no, how should I clean them?Asked on 8/11/2013 by Mai from Chicago IL
1 answer
A:We recommend against putting shoes in the washing machine as doing so will eventually break down the glues used to hold the shoe together. Try using some warm water, mild detergent and a clean rag to scrub the canvas upper in order to remove any stains or marks. Once you're done scrubbing, stuff your shoes with paper towels or white paper and let them air dry. Putting shoes in the clothes dryer will also break down the glues used to hold the shoe together and should be avoided.Answered on 8/12/2013 by Ryan from Holabird Sports

How Many Kids Does Jessica Simpson Have?
Does anyone else think Jessica Simpson actually looks good now?
With her weight gain, Jessica Simpson looks natural and more beautiful in my opinion. When she was a toothpick she just seemed unnatural and out of place. Does anyone else share this view?
Yes, I think she looks 100% better. Of course there still isn't much going on between the ears!
What do you think of Jessica Simpson's use of this phrase?
What is your opinion on Jessica Simpson's use of the term "Indian Giver"? Didn't you ever use that term when you were a kid? I did. I think everyone blows everything said out of context myself.
I have heard the saying 'Indian giver' before and have used it all the time not just when I was a kid. I am not aware of Jessica Simpson's remark, but I can only guess that someone took exception to the Indian part. It is another case of PC gone mad, it is not a racist remark of such like it is just a saying for goodness sake, pc again.
What does my name jessica mean?
The meaning of the name Jessica is God Beholds
The origin of the name Jessica is Hebrew
Alternate spellings: Jessika, Jyssica, Jesyka
Notes: Name invented by Shakespeare for the daughter of a Jewish merchant in 'The Merchant of Venice'. He probably derived it from Jesca (Yiska), the name of a minor Biblical character. Jessica Biel, actress. Jessica Simpson, singer. Jessica Tandy, actress.
Who is the female that sings the chorus in the new Eminem song?
the 'Jessica Simpson' part, does she really sing it?
Charmagne Tripp is the female who provides the vocals, and Trisha Paytas plays the role of Jessica Simpson in the music video.
Jessica Simpson...?
Is Jessica spending too much time being a character and not enough time being a country singer?
You know what I dislike about Jessica Simpson? She's inauthentic. You're right she is a character. Artists often time eventually branch into alternative genre's of music for creativity or to capture a different type of audience. Jessica, however, is going country cause she can't seem to make a dime in the pop world. That just makes me sick. What happened to the sexy outfits? Oh that's right, the country music scene is much more conservative so she has to cover up. She's willing to alter who she is based upon what image sells and that just is downright disappointing.

Halo may never get the live action film treatment, but it seems Microsoft is giving players the next best thing with the Xbox One. Microsoft announced today that, after Halo's success in games, books, and the Forward Unto Dawn miniseries, developer 343 is now working on a premium, live action TV series based in the Halo universe that will appear on Xbox One. And Steven Spielberg is somehow involved.
The series was compared to such high profile TV shows as Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, set in the world of Halo. Spielberg's involvement isn't totally clear just yet, but from the sound of it, this could be the foundation for Xbox One's new entertainment service. Is Microsoft starting its own version of HBO or Netflix?

F5 link translation
Created: 06 Jun 2011 | 1 comment
Does anybody have any experience configuring EV with an F5 appliance, specifically configuring link translation? I have read through http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH63250 which describes in generic terms what needs to be done. However F5 doesnt have the same concept of link translation as ISA so i am having a lot of trouble implementing it.
Is there any guides similar to http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH61472
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Monolith released Lord of the Hunt today, the first add-on pack for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Yeah, the $10 DLC has a lot of the stuff you'd expect: new nemeses, new challenges, and even some guy named Torvin the Dwarven Hunter who hopefully goes on about the tricksy, filthy hobbitses.

But, as okay as all that sounds, it can't hold a candle to the inclusion of the Wretched Graug -- a mountable monster that pukes toxin all over your enemies. Presumably, they then get the total yucks, and die of embarrassment because the football captain saw it all and now he'll never go to the homecoming dance with them.

The first Ace Chemicals Infiltration video for Batman: Arkham Knight rekindled my excitement and, looking over your comments, I was far from alone in that regard. But this? Come on now.

It's almost entirely scripted footage of the Batmobile blasting away at "heavily armored drone tanks" (I take back my laughter re: Batman seemingly throwing out his no-kill rule).

My favorite part is the opening shot of him staring at the camera -- those graphics! -- but everything else here fell flat for me. The final segment will air this weekend during Sony's PlayStation Experience event in Las Vegas. Hope they're hoping to end on a high note.

After news of the delay back in September, the folks at WB Games and Rocksteady have kept all things Batman: Arkham Knight close to the vest. Thankfully, they figured we could use another appetizer after their showing at E3, and this new gameplay footage makes the wait even harder to bear.

In the video, we get to see the early portions of the game where Batman must rescue hostages from an Ace Chemicals factory. With his Batmobile in tow, he easily breaks in and gets to work on dispensing justice, but he soon learns that the Arkham Knight (voiced by Troy Baker, of course) is calling the shots and will prove to be a worthy adversary.

It's best to go into this without too much description. The gameplay for the Batmobile looks very impressive and I'm glad we finally got a Batman game that does the vehicle justice.

Rocksteady's conclusion to the Arkham trilogy will happen a bit later than everyone expected, and as such, there's still more to learn about the game. That's no big surprise; we're still discovering easter eggs in Arkham City more than three years after the game came out.

At E3, we found out more about Scarecrow's involvement in Arkham Knight, and he pops up again at the end of this trailer for the The Video Game Awards 2014 which takes place on December 5. It's conjecture at this point as to whether his inclusion hints at some notable reveal at the show or not. Nevertheless, he looks frightening as all hell.

I completely forgot Monolith was working on last-generation ports of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. The studio delayed the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game to ... today. It's available for a full $59.99, though I'd recommend holding off for now; possibly forever.

The orc-slaying action title found an audience on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One thanks in part to its Nemesis system, which randomized and, to some extent, personalized Sauron's forces based on your interactions. Back in February, design director Michael de Plater told IGN "the core mechanics, like combat, stealth, ranged and movements; the basic control and gameplay, that should all be really solid [in Shadow of Mordor for PS3 and Xbox 360]. What it won't have is the same level of depth and variety and simulation within the Nemesis system."

It's unclear to what extent the Nemesis system has been downgraded, which is scary. Between that and the expected-but-still-jarring drop in visual fidelity, you're better off waiting to play the game until you can do so as it was intended on PC, PS4, or Xbox One.

Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is available now, for nearly every console imaginable, real and otherwise. It's probably available for the Imagination Station 3000, but supplies are limited. The launch trailer above doesn't really capture what the game has to offer though until the very end, like the Lego series' trademark humor.

I can't help but wish that the games hadn't given them a voice. It's a little jarring seeing the figures speak, and the trailer's "epic" tone doesn't really fit the campiness of the previous games. Still, I'm excited to get started on the game as it gives me the side-eye from my overflowing shelf.

If you're interested in giving the game a try, you can check out the PC demo from the official site, but no word on a demo for other platforms yet. Dang, little Lego Batman is still totally adorable though.

Sometimes words do a disservice to a post. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to just let a video speak for itself. Nothing I could write would do justice to these overtly gory Mortal Kombat X Fatalities, anyway -- especially Scorpion's.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was reminiscent of a summer blockbuster, keeping me on seat's edge throughout, only to be virtually forgotten upon seeing the credits roll. But say you're still under its spell, well, perhaps Warner Bros. can interest you in the "Lord of the Hunt" expansion.

The upcoming downloadable content pack sees Sauron set loose a bunch of beastmaster warchiefs with designs on exterminating the monsters of Mordor for some reason. Of course, Talion and dwarven hunter buddy Torvin won't have any of that, and bloodshed ensues.

The publisher vaunts a list of new features, including new story, enemies, monsters, missions, and clothing for Talion. Really, though, it all pales in comparison to that vomiting graug.

Techland has gone ahead and cancelled the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of its free-running, first-person zombie game Dying Light. It will still be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One early next year.

"After thorough internal testing, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice but to leave past-gen systems behind and release Dying Light exclusively on the next-gen consoles and PC," the company said on Facebook. "Put simply, older consoles just couldn't run the game and stay true to the core vision of Dying Light at the same time."

Monolith has released a free Power of Shadow DLC pack for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor on Steam, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Most notably, it includes an alternate costume for Talion that resembles the Black Hand of Sauron. Epic Runes are included as well:

One with Nature – Immunity to Poison attacks from Uruk Captains or Ghuls.

Ascendant – Double Focus Time for slow motion Ranged combat.

Elven Grace – Increased defense which halves the damage of enemy strikes.

More clothing options are good if, like Steven, you want to live out matchmaking fantasies or, similar to Nic, you want to become the Dracula of Middle-earth. (I love these guys.)

I'm holding off on Shadow of Mordor until the holiday break, I think. This seems like something I'll want to dig into for a week straight and never touch again. Ever do that?

Conan O'Brien, the famed late-night talk show host and self-professed clueless gamer, will be reversing roles of sorts for his part in LEGO Batman 3. Instead of being confounded by videogames, he's going to be playing himself and "help(ing) people out who are having trouble, who maybe need some guidance."

But, how does a lanky, pasty, orange-haired man get appropriately morphed into LEGO form? The developers explain how they want to keep everything within minifigure standards, but still capture the essence of Conan. The solution: Give him really big hair.

Conan isn't the only celebrity to appear as himself in LEGO Batman 3. Kevin Smith, noted comic fanatic, will be a playable character who comes equipped with a bullhorn to shout at people. And, he didn't even need to do anything dirty to get the role.

Techland's Dying Light is just the latest game to include asymmetric multiplayer into its fold. Seems like everyone's doing it these days; it's been all the rage since Left 4 Dead did it all those years ago. But, Techland's doing it in a way that's decidedly worse than everyone else.

In Dying Light, players can become one of the most powerful zombies in the game and invade others' games at night. It's a mode that's been cleverly dubbed "Be the Zombie." This side of multiplayer is only open to those who pre-order the game (or likely those who pay a nominal fee sometime down the road).

It was bad enough when exclusive skins and half-assed mini-missions were being locked behind the pre-order wall. Now they're barring off entire multiplayer experiences. Hopefully come Dying Light's January 27 release date, no one's "being the zombie."

The fiendish sorcerer Quan Chi returns in Mortal Kombat X. While he's said to play a major part in the story -- something I'm eager to hear more about, coming off of the last game -- today we're just shown a standard fight. Watch as he pummels Kano and summons a demonic bat.

I know I was supposed to be focusing on what's new with Quan Chi in the video, but I couldn't stop staring at that badass stage background. Those rolling waves put a spell on me.

Looks fantastic, in general. April. April is the month.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's doing mostly fine from the reviews that came out last week, but that doesn't mean that you will like it. How can you like a game if you haven't played it yet? You can't, plain and simple.

But, that's not stopping Warner Bros. from putting out a trailer telling you about all of the supplement content you could soon purchase for Shadow of Mordor -- a game that you almost certainly have not played yet. Look, publishers -- we all know that you have this stuff lined up for months before release, but can you just hold off until at least a few days after the game comes out? It's slightly less embarrassing that way.

Like Max, I didn't know what to make of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor but taking a guarded approach has paid off -- the reviews are in and they're overwhelmingly positive. Nice surprise!

Still not sure I'll rush out to grab the game at launch on Tuesday -- I've got my hands full, as I'm sure many of you will shortly -- but it's much higher on my to-play list after this week.

Developing a licensed game can be extremely difficult. Not only does Monolith Productions have the Lord of the Rings film series to honor with Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, but the developer also has to work in many aspects of Tolkien's other works to weave together a story that calls from multiple sources.

In that regard Monolith has succeeded in creating something believable, but in the process, the game itself didn't receive as much attention.

Like a Balrog vanquished to the depths from whence it came, Warner Bros. took a good look at the legacy console adaptions of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and declared "You shall not pass!" At least, not for a few more months.

Warner Bros. announced this morning that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Shadow of Mordor will release on November 18 in the Americas and November 21 in the United Kingdom. They were originally slated to hit shelves alongside the Xbox One and PS4 versions on September 30 and October 3 in the US and UK, respectively.

While we'll have plenty to keep us busy later this year, particularly next month, a bunch of the games that are most testing my patience aren't releasing until 2015. Batman: Arkham Knight is one of them. Today, Warner Bros. announced a worldwide launch date: June 2, 2015.

Considering how high expectations are for Rocksteady's return to the franchise, I'm thankful the studio isn't rushing too much. This one's got to count.

As part of the release date news, a pair of special editions were also detailed. The Limited Edition is $99.99 and comes with an 80-page art book, a SteelBook case, the Batman: Arkham Knight #0 comic book, three exclusive skins from The New 52, and a Batman Memorial Statue.

There's also a Batmobile Edition, priced at $199.99, which swaps the aforementioned Memorial Statue for, yup, a "fully transformable Batmobile statue" by TriForce.

It won't be long now until Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is released. Here at PAX Prime, we've been afforded one last look at the game, and while Alessandro and Dale covered the gameplay nitty gritty of the Nemesis system and Assassins Creed style traversal, we've finally been given a short, albeit sweet look at the game's campaign mode.

Monolith is digging deep to tell the lesser known tales of Tolkien's universe. Get ready for a lot of nerd speak.

I got to play Mortal Kombat X for a half hour during PAX Prime, and that made me happier than a pig in whatever pigs love to be in. After 5,000 matches played online between Mortal Kombat and Injustice: Gods Among Us, my anticipation was palpable.

Yes, this is an article about my time with the game, but first, it needs to be stated that if you use Cassie Cage's X-Ray on a male character, you get to watch in X-ray vision as a nut punch explodes a man's testicles. Mortal Kombat, welcome back.

So I still need to actually play Vanquish in full, but that rocket knee slide? Good stuff. Dying Light's slide is not so cool, but with enough forward momentum, you could get a decent slide going.

I am only still interested in the game because of its Mirror's Edge sort of locomotion and that's what this development diary centers on. Plus that fantastical grappling hook at the end. Hoping this plays as good as it seems to and I'll have a lovely time just free running about and ignoring anything the game asks me to do.

Dying Light is expected out February of 2015,

Smack dab in the middle of the release season for the year's biggest games comes the largest Lego title to date. Warner Bros. sent along word today that LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham will release on November 11 on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS Vita, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, Mac and iOS devices.

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, as the namesake suggests, forgoes the traditional trope of The Caped Crusader protecting his home city, and tasks him with something much grander -- saving the world. Batman won't be alone though; he'll have some rather unlikely help. Sporting a cast of over 150 characters, Beyond Gotham unites members from the Justice League and the Legion of Doom to take on the sinister Brainiac.

What do all of those heroic heroes and villainous villains look like grouped together? This newly released box art should give you some idea, even if it's a far cry from all 150. Still, it's weird to see The Joker in The Dark Knight's corner.

GameStop is celebrating Batman's 75th year with several events at GameStop Expo 2014. Players can get hands-on early access to LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham by TT Games, for one, and Arkham Knight fans will be able to see and take pictures with the full-scale model of the Batmobile, as seen in Rocksteady Studios' upcoming conclusion to the Batman: Arkham quadrilogy.

There will also be a Batman Cape/Cowl/Create exhibit featuring life-sized recreations of the Dark Knight's iconic cowl headpiece and cape as seen in Batman: Arkham Knight as re-imagined by top pop and comic artists.

There will also be a costume contest where attendees are encouraged to dress as Batman or their favorite DC Comics hero or villain. Prizes will be awarded for Best Modern Day Batman, Best Retro Batman, and Best Batman-Related Character. The contest will be held Wednesday, September 10.

The 2014 GameStop Expo will be held Tuesday and Wednesday. September 9 and 10, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Anyone planning on checking out all the Batman-related goodness?

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor has gotten a lot of people excited because of its seemingly great combat and interesting reputation system but is it me, or does it just look like a generic dark fantasy game? I'll be honest, my Middle-earth knowledge is lacking but there's nothing very "Lord of the Rings"-y about this trailer.

Still proof is in the pudding as they say and if Shadow of Mordor is a fun game, then I'll be giving it a go, Hobbits or not, on October 3.

As I wrote about at E3, there's a lot that you can do in Techland's Dying Light. First and foremost, you can run, jump, and grapple your way across terrain at a breakneck speed. You can take a break from traversal and use your arsenal of weapons to hunt the endless shambling zombies. And, when the sun goes down, you can hide and cry in a corner, because you want no part of what the nighttime brings.

You might've thought that Orcs were all fleshy and a good ol'-fashioned sword through the squishy parts would be enough to take care of them. False. Some might fall to the blade, but you'll need something decidedly more cerebral to handle the others.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's Wriath has the abilities for the job. The Wraith gives the Ranger the ability to get inside the heads of his enemies to understand their strengths and fears. Exploiting this might render your weapon wholly unnecessary in certain situations; after all, why go through the work of fighting something if it'll just run itself off a cliff in a fit of terror?

Now here's a game that really does feel right at home at Comic-Con. TT Games has a new trailer for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham prepared for the San Diego convention and, better yet, images featuring LEGO Bat-Cow, Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, and Mister Mxyzptlk

In Beyond Gotham, Brainiac intends to shrink the Earth and it's up to the Justice League and others in the DC Comics wheelhouse to gather Lantern Rings from various Lantern Worlds to prevent his dastardly plan. That's more than reason enough to get Batman in space.

As someone who is only now playing through LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, I feel so behind. Gotta catch up -- for Bat-Cow! Beyond Gotham will be out this fall.

October is going to be ridiculously packed with high-profile videogames, so the news that Warner Bros. has decided to fast-track Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's release from October 7 to September 30 is certainly welcomed. It's only a week, but hey, anything to space out that madness.

WB isn't the only publisher playing musical chairs with October release dates. EA recently pushed back Dragon Age: Inquisition by a month and Battlefield Hardline until 2015. Of course, in the case of Shadow of Mordor, we get one of the best looking upcoming titles and we get it a week early. I think that qualifies as a win-win.

Batman: Assault on Arkham is an upcoming direct-to-video animated film that serves as the direct sequel to Batman: Arkham Origins. Expect more not-so-zany adventures with the Riddler and Joker and the debut of the Suicide Squad!

Also, a host of veteran voice actors promise to make this another great Batman animated feature. You know, aside from the animated series, which is the standard by which you should hold all Batman animation.

Batman: Assault on Arkham will be released July 25 via special viewing at San Diego Comic Con, but for the rest of us we'll have to wait until July 29 for a digital copy and August 12 for a physical copy. You've only got a few more days to go until you can check it out yourself if you're attending SDCC!

The official LEGO Batman Twitter account posted an image of a Lego Adam West this week (seen above), which hopefully means we'll see a whole lot more of him in the upcoming LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.

Adam West is also going to be a special guest star at the San Diego Comic-Con LEGO Batman 3 panel, which points to the fact that players may be able to quest through Lego Gotham City as the zany Adam West. Or at the very least, he's just making a cameo. My money's on a simple cameo, but how awesome would a playthrough as classic Batman be?

Will the senior-aged caped crusader join LEGO Batman as a playable character or is this all an elaborate ruse by the Joker to get us all to buy the game based on a lofty promise? I guess we'll find out this fall when LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham drops on every current console. And by that, I really mean every current console. It's a little ridiculous.

Following the abhorrent trend of announcing different preorder bonuses across different retailers is Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, which is shipping with six different doodads depending on where you go. Fortunately, it's not a menagerie of digital content and Warner Bros. has seen fit to hand out physical goodies, as they should be for once.

When the game launches this fall you can find the following rewards up for grabs:

Amazon: Lego Batgirl Keychain

Best Buy: Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Digital Comic Book by Comixology

GameStop: Lego Plastic Man Minifigure

Target: Lego Batwing Miniset

Toys "R" Us: Lego The Joker Keychain

Wal-Mart: Lego Tumbler Miniset

Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is hitting store shelves this fall for just about every console imaginable, except it'll probably have voices this time around, too, which was just strange in the last game. At any rate, it's Batman, so it's still going to be fun for at least five minutes.

A listing for Batman: Arkham Origins: The Complete Edition has been outed by Amazon Germany. You are all shocked, just shocked, that Warner Bros. is planning to re-release the last Batman game with all the downloadable content. Just shocked. The Amazon listing was just for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC version by the way. We have to wait for the official word from WB for a Wii U version, but chances of that point to a big fat NOPE.

Only the new cover was spotted, and no mention of what The Complete Edition will include. One would presume that it will simply bring together all the past downloadable content packs. So that's like a couple dozen different Batman and Robin costumes, challenge maps, the Initiation Pack where you play as Bruce Wayne, the Hunter, Hunted multiplayer mode, and the well received Cold, Cold Heart DLC.

I wonder if this Complete Edition will address the progression blocking bugs that the studio couldn't bother to fix.

Scarecrow's reveal during the Sony E3 2014 press conference was a highlight. Woke me right up, it did. Batman: Arkham Knight was yet another one of those games to (annoyingly) have system-exclusive content -- in this specific case, the Scarecrow Nightmare Pack on PS4.

Fear toxin has turned Gotham into a "twisted, hellish nightmare," reveals a product listing on PlayStation.com. "Tear through the city in the all-new Batmobile and face off against a towering vision of Scarecrow and his undead army as they spread terror on the streets, available exclusively on PlayStation 4."

Some folks played Arkham City but skipped the game that started it all, Arkham Asylum. They missed out. The original is still worth playing for the trippy Scarecrow sections.

[Update: It seems that they've changed the date listing to read "Not announced" since this morning. Tease.]

We found out that Batman: Arkham Knight was delayed right before E3, and last week we learned that the wait might not be as long as we originally thought. I think 2015 is a long time to wait no matter how you look at it.

If a new posting on the Microsoft Store is was correct, we'll only have to wait until February 2015 to start playing. Well, on the Xbox One, that is.

Between this and the earlier bit from the voice actor, I think we can count on an early 2015 release.

What can be done freshen up the zombie genre at this point? Videogames, television shows, movies, comics -- virtually every pop culture medium's been infested by the craze, long ago hitting a saturation (and then oversaturation) point. So, how does a developer like Techland, who's most well-known recently for its zombie games, take the concept and still manage to make it its own?

Techland's creating a game about zombies, that isn't really about zombies. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, that's what it's doing with Dying Light. And who knows -- maybe that's the take on the undead genre that'll liven it up a bit.

We've known that Batman: Arkham Knight has been delayed into 2015, but we haven't had a time frame to hinge our expectations on. Anyone eagerly anticipating the game might be pleased to find out that there's a chance we won't have to wait all that long.

At last weekend's Denver Comic-Con, Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman in Arkham Knight, let it slip that the game would release in January 2015. "It (Arkham Knight) was supposed to come out in January, we've been working on it for a year and a half, it's still not done. So it's going to come out next January, but I know everyone is frustrated," Conroy said.

Of course, it's debatable as to whether a voice actor has the most up-to-date information on release dates, but this is the most specificity we've gotten so far. Warner Bros. hasn't yet weighed in regarding Conroy's comment.

I've always felt like the videogame industry doesn't feel right without a Mortal Kombat. So many games are always striving to be these serious affairs, and it takes something like Mortal Kombat to remind people that oh right, videogames can also be dumb, stupid, awesome fun.

Mortal Kombat X looks to improve upon what we got with the last game, taking us into the near-future after the last tournament for Earth Realm. We'll get backstory on what has lead us up to this point in the story, and learn about some new characters in the franchise (finally.)

I'm mostly curious how someone like Sonya Blade would even be attracted to someone like Johnny Cage, let alone have his child.

Mortal Kombat 9 was a damn good fighting game, and a damn good game in general. According to Max and Bill, next year's Mortal Kombat X is shaping up to be more of that.

Building on the foundation of MK9 and Injustice: Gods Among Us, there's environment interactions, varying move sets, and gruesome X-ray attacks and fatalities. Exploding balls is no-thanks territory for me, but I'm down for X. Looks like I'll have to play as the bug lady, D'Vorah.

Curious to hear more about the story and how NetherRealm will handle that going forward.

We spend so much of our lives working. When I die, if there's some sort of afterlife, I want to just chill out. Make it look like a never-ending Corona commercial or something. Doesn't that sound nice?

That's not a position that Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's Talion is in, however. After the Ranger of the Black Gate was killed by Sauron's forces, he was resurrected, and the Gravewalker has a thirst for vengeance -- a thirst that can only be quenched by sticking swords and arrows in men and orcs, alike.

That's what this little button that hit my office today says. The letter with it says that Gauntlet will be at Warner Bros. booth during E3 next week, providing co-op play for attendees.

It also says that there will be a Gauntlet food truck outside the Los Angeles convention center to revive us with free turkey legs!

Everything that we've seen of Dying Light thus far has looked neat, but kind of devoid of personality. It's just seemed like another zombie game with attractive running mechanics.

This trailer bucks that trend and adds a bit of charisma. It also adds blood. Lots and lots of blood -- especially after the sun goes down.

Ready to play Gauntlet? No, you haven't time-traveled to the 80's, and you don't need a pocket full of loose change. You just need a PC and $20.

In preparation for E3, Arrowhead put out this trailer for its remake of Gauntlet. On display is the game's relic system, which should assist nicely in disposing of the leagues of baddies shambling toward you. Even more helpful would be three friends, so stop being so antisocial; your mom and I are worried about you.

After weeks of teasing, Ed Boon took to Twitter today to reveal Mortal Kombat X, the next chapter of the Mortal Kombat series.

Not a whole lot is known about the game right now other than the fact that it exists, and that it will hit the PS3, PS4, PC, Xbox 360, and Xbox One platforms according to various rumored retail listings. We can likely expect some news soon though, leading up to and including E3!

Mortal Kombat X will drop in 2015.

Hey! Remember how there's a new Gauntlet happening and people were excited for it yet Warner Bros. is barely making a big deal about it? Well yeah it's still happening, set to arrive for just the PC/Steam on September 3.

The online/local four-player classic is up for pre-order, and if you want to "secure" your copy now you will be given extra items and a free comic the day the game is released. The comic is titled Gauntlet: Darkness Calls, and will detail the origins of "Gauntlet's most vile master," Morak.

More interesting to me from this press release was details on WB Games Vault, a program that will see Midway/Warner Bros IP paired with different game developers. For instance, this new Gauntlet is being made by Arrowhead Game Studios, famous for the Magicka series. It's nice to see a studio finally attempting to do something with their old IPs.

The screenshots were nice, but we're on to bigger and better with this footage of Batman: Arkham Knight. I vaguely recall there being a tease in Arkham City concerning the return of Scarecrow, and sure enough he's back with Two-Face, The Penguin, Harley Quinn, and presumably others. The greater concern seems to be the all-new Arkham Knight, shown at the end of this clip.

For the purposes of the trailer, it makes sense that Rocksteady Studios would want to heavily focus on the Batmobile -- it's one of the major new features for the series. I'm wondering how much of Arkham Knight centers around the vehicle, though. It'll show up in Riddler Challenges, that's for sure. And driving upside down? Yes, why thank you.

I can't tell you how happy I am that it's Rocksteady working on this project.

This video for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is supposed to be about runes, which are dropped by fallen foes and used to upgrade protagonist Talion's weapons. And it is.

But I can't not concentrate on how ridiculous the action is in this two-minute clip. So much stabbing. I haven't made my up mind about Shadow of Mordor yet -- I'll need to see more uncut footage before doing so -- but I'm not feeling what Monolith has shown thus far.

Rocksteady Studios has been tweeting images of Batman: Arkham Knight and I'm still smitten. We've got the pointy-eared Dark Knight in Chinatown, Harley Quinn pulling off her best Joker impersonation, and a Riddler Challenge with the Batmobile in Gotham's underground.

Between these screenshots and the first image of Ben Affleck as Batman, I've probably spent too much time this week looking at grown men dressed up as a bat. No regrets.

You can see the pride of the Sheraton Waikiki team given the cleanliness of its common areas and rooms, the friendliness and courteousness of the staff. We used SNAs for this trip; we were upgraded to a beautiful suite that was perfect for our family and made our trip unforgettable. The Leahi Club Lounge was one of the best club lounges I've been in, and by far the best one I've ever experienced in the US. The views were jaw-dropping. The food options that they had for breakfast and evening appetizers were surprisingly high-quality, rivaling and exceeding restaurant-level food. The staff was consistently friendly and courteous, and made every effort to help us have the best experience possible, including bringing toys to our one-year old daughter, making great recommendations for hikes and sightseeing around the island, and being happy to strike up a conversation at any moment. We had a terrific time and can't wait to return. March 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SydneyNick Pool Proper policing of the adult infinity pool is required. Non-guests need to be kept out. Signs stating the eligibility of those that can attend the adult pool should be erected to avoid embarrassment. July 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paul81 Nov getaway Sheraton Waikiki is the best property on Waikiki. The amenities and staff are second to none. The property is centrally located, we didn't have to rent a car. Always a great place to vacation. Paul November 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by waikikivisitor great hotel but... i had confimed late checkout and had 'do not distrub' on the door but housekeeping kept knocking to check when i will be out of the room. other than that, it is a great hotel to stay in waikiki area. October 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paul81 Vacation R&R My wife and I relaxed at this location. The infinity pool and beach access was just the ticket. The location at Sheraton is second to none, with the staff above and beyond expectations. LOVE Waikiki November 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by jnbLaX great location This was our first visit to the islands. This hotel was located right in the middle of all the fun and excitement of Waikiki. Wonderful rooms, excellent service, 30th floor club great for SPG guests. December 4, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by 310Katie Too crowded and facilities are not adequate for number of rooms. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The adult pool is uncomfortably crowded and the area around it is not kept clean. The hotel's beach access is also inadequate. Will never stay here again. September 5, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mark128 Disappointing hotel and unfriendly staff This burro us simply too big for the facilities it has. Pools were packed and water dirty as it seemed filters simply could not keep up with sunscreen etc from swimmers. We could not see through the water. Kids pools had slides only for under 4 feet and attendant screamed at my kids who did not know rules. Only attention we got at main pool was an attendant running over to tell my kids they weren't allowed there as under 16 which leaves a small packed pool where all you could hear was parents telling kids to stop peeing. Staff in general were surly and gave impression that customers were annoying. Cold water dispenser by pool never had any water in it. Lady at platinum SPG checkin, when asked why we had no to robes in room, told me I was only platinum guest and not a club guest and only club guests got robes. First time platinum has been so dismissed Food is expensive and average. Only exception to all the is a good club lounge with very helpful and friendly staff in the lounge itself. Our Rooms had litter we had to pickup in the corner. Not a great stay and would not recommend hotel August 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SDGirl Excellent Experience! The views were awsome and the staff, friendly and attentive. This is my second stay at the Sheraton Waikiki and their service and attention to detail is consistant. I look forward to my next visit. September 18, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ella A memorable visit A welcoming reception, great service, topped with a breathtaking ocean view from our room. We only wish the pool was a bit warmer for our little one to enjoy more. Cannot wait to return. Mahalo! February 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by KPM63 Great Waikiki Hotel This is a great hotel with excellent facilities and unparalleled location, and outstanding service. The SPG Lounge on the 30th floor is the best that I've seen. April 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mary70 quick trip This Sheraton was a perfect place for a quick get away for a business meeting combined with some leisure time. Nice pools, not really a good beach location but plenty of beach access in the area December 7, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by John21 Shower Curtain Smells I stayed 1-night in an ocean view room on June 19, 2012 and although the stay was good, the shower curtain smelled moldy. This smell dominated the whole hotel room, so it was not that pleasant. June 23, 2012

Rated 2 out of 5 by JDreal below average Requested a room with 2 doubles.None available. Dirty tile grout in bathroom.Woodwork in disrepair and needs paint. No dresser draws to store clothing. Not even close to Sheraton standards. July 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ShoNuff808 Aloha Spirit The staff at this hotel truly demonstrate the Aloha Spirit. Kai market was wonderful! And there's no better experience than enjoying a cocktail while floating around in the infinity pool! December 9, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Rickkl Sheraton Waikiki review Great location and pool, but rooms and hallways are in need of refurbishment. No lounge acces for other than Platinum members and only limited time per day. No 4 pm late checkout possible. December 12, 2012

Proxy Voting in the Digital Age
The following commentary is from an investment professional with Clear Harbor Asset Management who is a participant in TheStreet's expert contributor program.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Do you own stock in a company that is holding its annual shareholders' meeting this spring at a place or time that doesn't fit your schedule? Visit the investor relations page of the company's Web site and see if it will be webcasting the event. If not, fire off an email complaint to the firm's investor relations contact or take to your favorite social media network to demand a webcast.
The Securities and Exchange Commission currently doesn't require companies to webcast their annual meetings, but many public companies are doing this, and all of them should. In the digital age, there is no reason why shareholders should have to be physically present at their company's annual meetings to monitor what goes on and participate.
