Fresh Android Apps for June 15: VidaOne Lifestyle Pro, Pax Britannica, Doodle Grub
by Ian Black
Diets are tough so it might help to carry a nutrition coach around with you in your pocket. VidaOne Lifestyle helps manage and track your food intake and exercise regimen so that you can focus on your health. It's new, but the reviews from those familiar with the company's other apps say people have been waiting for this.
In today's fresh list, the games are a little unusual. Pax Britannica provides a simple but challenging one-button strategy game and Doodle Grub brings the old game Snake into the 21st century.
VidaOne Lifestyle Pro ($5.99)
Manage your health over your Android phone. VidaOne Lifestyle claims to have made mobile applications since 1999 and says it's packed all that know-how into this new app.
Set up a healthy diet based on your personal profile and then track your progress by entering everything you eat. Learn nutrition facts about the foods you eat and view bar charts of your daily calorie intake. For exercise, choose workouts based on different muscles in the body or track your jogging routes on a map using your phone's GPS.
Read the reviews in the Android Market by fans that have been waiting patiently for this Android app to arrive.
Pax Britannica (Free)
Ever heard of a one-button strategy game? Me neither until Pax Brittannica appeared in the Android Market.
Play with up to four players or just you against your phone. Each player gets a mother ship called a "factory" ship to control. Press and hold your area of the screen to spin the needle on the power menu of your ship – each quadrant the needle reaches creates a different type of combat ship to use against your enemies. You can make fighters, bombers, and frigates or upgrade your factory ship. Then the battle plays out on your screen.
The underwater scene and battle graphics make it look cool. Great for four players sitting around a table using one device.
Doodle Grub (Free)
Seems like all great iPhone games make it to Android eventually – it's only a matter of time. Doodle Grub is a twist on the old classic cell phone game Snake and has just arrived in the Market.
Tilt your phone to guide the snake-like grub around the screen eating apples and other power-ups while avoiding obstacles and enemies. When you do collide with objects you lose segments of the grub but if you hit head on you're a goner. Fun themes make the landscape look like a winter wonderland, a garden, a wooden floor, and other places.
In multiplayer mode, you can play against others online or people around you. Use OpenFeint to gain top spot on the leader boards or share your success over Facebook and Twitter.

I've done the obligatory search and found some info, but nothing that specifically sounds like my issue. I have also posted this in the bicycle mechanics forum here.
Anyway, I just got these new Alex DV 15 wheels for my fixed gear conversion. While taking it for a test ride last night, the brakes squealed something fierce! I also noticed a "feeling" when applying the brakes. It wasn't so much constant vibration, but more of like a "THUNK-THUNK-THUNK" would feel.
The brake pads came w/ the bike so I have no idea how old they are, but they stop me just fine. Also, before I got the new wheels, I used them on the old wheels and there was no squeal or vibration or anything.
Any thoughts? Could it be some sort of film or glazing or something on the new rims?

I btw own FS9 (old I know, but I prefer 9 running properly than 10 running slow as crap), I have a throttle/joystick and pedals to make it more realistic.
What's the craziest thing you've ever done in FS... regardless of what version you've had?
I think the craziest one I ever did was fly over Orange County (CA) at 1000 feet and Mach 1.2 in an F-104... (there are such strict noise-regulations in SNA) although I've done others. Flying into a crowded traffic pattern in a CV-880 on the barber pole, by the time I was making the turn onto final I was at 250 kts, and managed to make a normal Flaps 50-landing.*
*(From what I've been told on the tech/ops forum: 373 - 393 kts is the actual plane's barber pole, but the model/dynamics I had for some reason allowed me to go up to 400 kts... I've contacted the person who designed it and he's on it-- yes I plan to do the same high-speed approach again, but this time it would be more realistic.)

DAVIDSON – Summit Coffee plans to open a second location at Davidson College in the fall that will serve as a coffeehouse, pub and restaurant.
The second location will serve students, staff and guests in its own building on campus, assuming the space formerly occupied by the Davidson College Outpost.
"When we imagined a coffeehouse/pub opening on the Davidson College campus, we always had in the back of our mind Summit Coffee as the prototype that we should try and emulate," said Tom Shandley, vice president for student life and dean of Students at Davidson College.
Summit plans to open the new, unnamed location seven days a week, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, with an expanded brunch menu on the weekends. The shop will also offer a full coffee and espresso setup, a smoothie bar, as well as several wines and draft beers.
Summit will employ 10-12 staff for the new space, a combination of students and non-students.
Tim and Brian Helfrich, owners of Summit Coffee and Davidson College alumni, will own the venture.
"We hope to bring all the things Summit is passionate about -- great coffee, live music, good beer, strong community -- to our new location," Brian Helfrich said. "At the same time, we will work with the students to identify what they want the space to be. We anticipate great synergy in this pursuit."

Re: What are you playing right now?
Bought the
Guitar Hero 6
(or whatever ridiculous subtitle it has) band bundle for my woman's birthday, as she mentioned a couple of times that she wanted to buy it. I can't really stand GH games normally- I get the appeal, but as someone who attempts to play actual guitar, it feels like a waste of time, and don't really enjoy it. However, the inclusion of drums changes this- means I can actually play multiplayer with her (she seems to hate playing the drums, so it works out).
Really enjoying it- it still feels like the fast-food equivalent of video games; that is, quick and easy to get into, but no real substance or long-term enjoyment. I can't play for more than half an hour without getting a bit bored. But that doesn't matter when so much fun can be had from it in short bursts, on multiplayer at least.

If this week's New York gubernatorial debate was your first introduction to Jimmy McMillan and his Rent is Too Damn High Party, then I hate to tell you, but you're, sort of, you know, late to the party.
Prior to his governor's bid, McMillan ran for Mayor of New York twice, in 2005 and 2009. I've been a fan of his ever since I read his statement of issues as a mayoral candidate, which included the phrase, "Rent is too damn high!!!" no less than 12 times in two paragraphs. That's what Washington insiders call, "staying on message." (Not sure what a Washington insider is? That's easy. It's someone who works in Washington D.C. who has their head so far up their own ass, they can smell the future.)
If you think that the Rent is Too Damn High Party is a little too niche to be accepted on a state-wide, much less national, stage, you're wrong. The U.S. has a glorious history of political parties that have sought to promote or fight against a very specific issue, or a slightly different version of an issue that some other party has already taken up. Why do we need multiple, barely distinguishable Socialist parties? You might as well ask why we need Baptists AND Methodists. (The answer to both is, we don't...but we're Americans, and even the most Socialist and Christian of us like having our own stuff, be it gods, parties or monster trucks.)
Here are a few other parties that have, in the past, run highly successful losing campaigns for offices at the city, county, even parish level. See one you like? Then try to resurrect it in your town today. Go team politics!
Co-op Boards Are Assholes Party
Babies Are Too Damn Plentiful Party
Get Your Shit Off My Lawn Party
There Are Too Many Snakes on This Motherfucking Plane Party
Not Everyone Can Wear a Fedora Party
Calling Yourself a Geek When You're Not Prohibition Party
The Justin Bieber Virginity Watch Party of America
Every Day Is Like Sunday Party
If You Want to Show Your Movie in 3-D, Shoot It In 3-D Party

How to Keep Your Mind off a Guy You Like
Does he keep you up at night? Do you find that you can't stop thinking about him? If so, read on to help keep your mind off of him.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1First, just let it out. Scratch the itch. Call it whatever you like, but get him out of your system. Call your friend, talk to your sister, write it down, daydream about him all you like. Do anything that you can think of to let your feelings out. If you decide to talk to someone, make sure that they can be trusted to not share what you tell them and that they will not make fun of you.
2Get busy. Do something that involves your mind to be there. Do chores, go outside and get some exercise, read a book, or watch a movie with some friends. Pick something that won't remind you of your guy too much. Choose something that is mentally or physically demanding, or something that will make you laugh. Keep your mind too busy to think about him.
3Realize that he is just a boy and deserves as much thought as any of your friends or family members.
4Do not be obsessive about not thinking about him, though. It's okay to dream about your crush every now and then.

The Butler men's basketball team has been nominated for an ESPY award in the category of Best Game. The nomination, which was announced on June 24, is for the Bulldogs' March 19, one-point victory over Pittsburgh in the 2011 NCAA Tournament.
The game, in the third round of this year's men's basketball championship, turned out to be one of the most exciting contests of the tournament and certainly featured the most bizarre ending. Butler trailed 69-68 in the closing seconds, before a lay-up by sophomore Andrew Smith gave the Bulldogs a one-point advantage with just three ticks left on the clock.
But on the ensuing inbounds play, Butler's Shelvin Mack fouled Pittsburgh's Gilbert Brown at midcourt just before the Panthers' foward attempted a desperation final shot. With two seconds remaining, Brown made the first free throw to tie the game, but missed the second.
Butler's Matt Howard grabbed the rebound on the missed free throw, and he was fouled by Pittsburgh's Nasir Robinson with just one second remaining. Howard made the first free throw and then intentionally missed the second to give Butler a thrilling 71-70 victory and advance the Bulldogs to the "Sweet 16."
The ESPYs, which are a celebration of the best sports moments of the year, will be held on Wednesday (July 13) at the Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles. Mack and Shawn Vanzant will be present to represent the Bulldogs at the ceremony. It will be televised live at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Timebomb (2008)
by Gerald Seymour
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A Soviet nuclear device is stolen by an army officer in the last days of communism and is buried in his back yard. A Russian jew crime boss in Germany arranges to buy the device 17 years later for further sale to a terrorist organization. An undercover police officer is inside the criminal organization. An intrepid British MI6 intelligence officer gets wind of the plot.
Seymour masterfully weaves a thriller from these threads and infuses the story with holocaust history, complex characters, and a drum-tight plot.
Like the Bertie Bott's Any-Flavour Beans beloved of Harry Potter, this quartet of thrillers is full of surprises and it's only when you have tasted one, as it were, that you know if you have chosen a rosebud or an earwax flavour.
Gerald Seymour, as prolific as Patterson but more talented, has proved as dependable as ever with Timebomb: as solid, tasty and reliable as a cheese and pickle sandwich, the story has a very 'moreish' flavour.
British undercover agent Jonathan Carrick is placed as a bodyguard with a London-based Russian Mafiya money-launderer, and forced to go to Eastern Europe to take delivery of a suitcase bomb stolen years before by disaffected Soviet soldiers.
The editing may leave something to be desired but the book is interesting and convincing, full of thrills and all-too-human moments of doubt and frailty: Seymour is indeed, as critics have dubbed him, 'a brilliant storyteller'.

Jan Davidsz de Heem (artist)
Dutch, 1606 - 1684
Vase of Flowers, c. 1660
oil on canvas
overall: 69.6 x 56.5 cm (27 3/8 x 22 1/4 in.) framed: 90.1 x 77.8 cm (35 1/2 x 30 5/8 in.)
Andrew W. Mellon Fund

Object 5 of 8
Gardening and the breeding of beautiful hybrids satisfied the Dutch interest in art and in science. Exotic flowers also indicated their far-flung explorations and their expertise in botany. In fact, a "tulip-mania" swept Holland soon after tulips were imported from Turkey in the 1550s. In 1637, Amsterdam's commodity market in tulip bulbs crashed, causing capitalism's first depression.
The thirty-one species of plants in this vase cannot bloom in the same season. Many of these blossoms have emblematic meanings. The upper flowers thrive in the sunshine that streams through De Heem's studio windows which we see reflected in the crystal vase. The lower plants, farther away from the light of heaven, droop and wilt.
Near the bottom, a salamander stares hungrily at a spider, while a snail, moth, and ants crawl on the marble shelf. All these creatures symbolize night and decay. On the white poppy at the top, a caterpillar and butterfly evoke the idea of rebirth from a cocoon or tomb.
De Heem spent most of his career in Antwerp in Flanders. Colorful extravagance, typical of Flemish taste, imbues his still lifes, and De Heem passed this opulence on to his followers, including Abraham Mignon.

FACT: Air conditioner cages from AC Security Systems have a 99.8% success rate of theft prevention.
The rising price of copper, declining economy and easy access to air conditioners outside of homes and buildings have ignited A/C copper-theft across the nation. In some states, like Georgia, metro police departments have even developed specialty task-force units, dedicated to resolving and preventing copper-theft crimes. Unfortunately, it's a crime that has continued to rapidly gain momentum, despite police efforts.
Crime reports suggest that once copper-thieves discover a home or building with unsecured AC units, they tend to sweep the surrounding neighborhood and community for more exposed copper steal before leaving the area.
How do thieves steal copper from my air conditioner?Thieves usually gain access by 'stripping' an air conditioner's external structure, or simply taking the entire AC unit from its platform.

80/365 (March 21, 2010) – Early this morning (well, it felt early since we were up partying until 2am), before we got the Student Cruise underway, the clouds were thick and heavy but a splotch of sunshine lit up the water and a boat in the distance. I love these mornings, it feels like the world is still safely tucked in and those few of us out on the water on these days are lucky in our solitude. Thankfully, the clouds held their rain until later in the day after the cruise was over.
The cruise went without any hitches, although I need to tweak the course a little bit. It was the first time I'd actually been out on a boat while running it since I wrote it for the Squadron. A few little things need some attention.
Otherwise, it was a great day and there was a great BBQ afterwards. So many great volunteers in our group, some seriously great organization and great organizers.


text: Thanks for the review NK. Hopefully someone in my face to face group will take a stab at running the system. I honestly have little desire to buy the books currently as I rarely play D&D, but it would be worth taking a look at it. I would try playing a session over MapTool, but I am afraid I would have way too many questions and would ruin the session for others.

Ripped Apart: A Civil War Mystery
The Smithsonian has always been one of my favorite museum / museums. I suppose a person could add up how many museums, exhibits, and collections they have but who has that kind of time?
There is just so much you can interact with onsite but they also have an incredible online presence. And now, via a handy email from the iTunes people, I just found out that they've entered the mobile app world.
The iTunes App Ripped Apart: A Civil War Mystery is their latest cool tool. From the app description:
Ever wondered what it's like to work at the Smithsonian? With the sudden and curious departure of her last intern, Museum Curator Isabella Wagner needs your help solving a mystery dating back to the Civil War. Could there be ghosts trapped in the basement of the National Museum of American History? Read more

I believe that you should wait until the civil ceremony has been registered before lodging the CP visa application as part of the supporting evidence would be the registration certificate.
However, this does not mean you cannot start drafting the application and gathering the relevant supporting documentation. Your partner would be your sponsor.
The current rules (paragraph 281 of the Immigration Rules) that apply for CP visas can be accessed by clicking on the link below:
Broadly speaking, you both need to be at least 21yrs old, you both need to have physically met each other and have an intention to live together permanently in the UK. Your sponsor needs to be settled in the UK.
In terms of supporting documents, this depends on the individual case but usually includes: sponsorship declaration/letter highlighting that sponsor undertakes to maintain and accommodate you; evidence of sponsor's financial standing (3mths wage slips and bank/savings statements); evidence that you can be adequately accommodated by the sponsor (property assessment report for your sponsor's residence that certifies that there would be no overcrowding caused by your living there); if sponsor rents, tenancy agreement with letter from landlord that your occupation would not be a problem, that there are no rental arrears and the tenancy is to be renewed; if sponsor is owner-occupier, office copies for property, latest annual mortgage statement and recent utility bills; and evidence of your personal circumstances.
Hope that clarifies the situation. Kind regards

2 Winter Haven seniors graduate despite the odds
Published: Wednesday, June 4, 2014 at 9:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 4, 2014 at 9:06 a.m.
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — Two members of Winter Haven High School's Class of 2014 fought the odds to attend their graduation ceremony.
One month before graduation, Avilmarie Rodriguez found out she had a brain tumor. Almost a month ago, Jonathan Omar Velazquez Diaz was seriously injured in a car crash. Both were greeting with standing ovations Tuesday night as they received their diplomas at Denison Stadium.
The Ledger of Lakeland (http://bit.ly/1l4R9bu ) reports Rodriguez recently learned her tumor was benign. She had planned to start the University of Miami in the fall, but doctors say she may need six months to recuperate.
Diaz spent three weeks in the hospital with a punctured lung and cuts all over his body. He missed prom and his JROTC ceremony. He plans to start culinary school in July.

Casares Reflects on NCAC, Looks Ahead
Howard W. Hewitt - This will be the final entry in this blog on the Wabash swimmers' 2007 NCAC swim championships.
The Little Giants really hit some remarkable numbers en route to their third-place finish behind Kenyon and Denison.
Six swimmers turned in times which qualify them for the "B" cut of the National Finals. The "B" cut simply means they are alternates and may or may not be invited to the big meet.
Those swimmers are:
Kyle Weaver - 200 medley relay;
Blaine Cooper-Surma - 200 medley relay;
Jordon Blackwell - 400 medley relay;
Adam Petro - 400 medley relay/200 fly;
Robert Dent - 200 medley relay/400 medley relay;
and Tony Caldwell - 200 medley relay/400 medley relay/100 back.
"We had some very good performances, but struggled as a team finding a rhythm," Coach Peter Casares said today. "In fact, I don't think we ever found that rhythm, that 'magic.' The team tried its hardest to though and that was great to watch."
But the results remained rather staggeringly positive. The Little Giants recorded 68 performances that were their fastest of the year. They had more than 35 lifetime bests. They turned in five national qualifying event performances, three all-conference relays, and one school record.
"That's pretty darn good especially seeing we didn't 'find our rhythm,' " Casares said. "I'm proud to see that the team's hard work did pay off."
Casares has written about the meet in his own blog, Lanelines, throughout the weekend. He also put up some final thoughts today.
I'm posting two more photo albums here. The first album is all new material from the opening of the Saturday night finals. It features photos from a couple different swim programs but gives a flavor of the meet excitement.
The second album is a collection of my favorite photos from the three-day event. Some have appeared on the website before and some have not.
Now the Little Giants will prepare for a meet this weekend at Kenyon where they can potentially lower their times and solidfy their chances to compete in the National meet. "I truly believe we can swim even faster this weekend," the coach said. "Combing one more week of rest with the fastest pool in the country is exactly what we need."
In photo above: Casares gives senior swimmer Kyle Weaver a hug during the senior walk at the start of Saturday's finals. Asst. Coach Kyle Dunaway hugs Tony Caldwell behind them.

Joe Pond pitched a solid 5 1/3 innings of relief for the Utes
April 20, 2013
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - Utah baseball made things interesting in the late innings, but was defeated this afternoon by USC at Spring Mobile Ballpark, 7-4. With the loss, the Utes fall to 16-18, 5-12 in the Pac-12, while the Trojans improved to 15-23, 7-10.
USC took the first lead of the game on a RBI single by Blake Lacey but eventually left the bases loaded. The same situation presented itself to the Utes in the bottom half of the inning as a walk to AJ Young tied the score before a groundout ended the threat.
When play resumed after a 50-minute rain delay in the top of the second, the Trojans tacked on two runs courtesy of a sacrifice bunt and base-hit to left field for a 3-1 lead.
USC plated three more in the third on a RBI groundout, RBI single, and throwing error to take control of the contest, 6-1.
Trailing 7-1 entering the ninth, Utah's bats came to life off USC reliever Brooks Kriske. Centerfielder Braden Anderson came through with a two-out, two-run single before the Trojans made another pitching change. Kody Davis then lashed a run-scoring double down the left-field line to give the Utes a pulse at 7-4.
Dalton Carroll earned the start and allowed four earned runs over 3 2/23 innings of work. His record dropped to 3-4 on the season with the loss. Right-handed reliever Joe Pond allowed one earned run over the final 5 1/3, striking out four batters.
USC's Wyatt Strahan allowed one run over eight innings of work to record the win and exited before the Utes knocked around Kriske in the ninth.
The Utes and Trojans will play the rubber match of their three game series tomorrow at noon. Utah is looking for consecutive series wins at home for the first time since joining the Pac-12.

The previous season of the Seattle Bowl presented two great teams of Demon Deacons from Wake Forest University and Oregon Ducks from University of Oregon. The Seattle Bowl tickets were abundantly sold because the Seattle Bowl was considered as a much awaited event.
The team of Wake Forest University was ranked eighth nationally in rushing offense, averaging 239.9 yards a game. The Deacons ran for 256 against Oregon, even with their early emphasis on the passing game. During the first quarter of the Seattle Bowl, the Oregon Ducks' Jared Siegel had a 45-yard field goal. However, the Demon Deacons answered it with a seven-play, 65-yard drive, topped by Ovie Mughelli's 1-yard run. The first quarter of the Seattle Bowl ended with a lead score of Wake Forest's Demon Deacons by 7-3. In the second quarter of the Seattle Bowl, James MacPherson fared batter, hitting Jason Anderson with a 57-yard scoring pass early in the second quarter to push Demon Deacons' lead to 14-3. In addition to this, James MacPherson added a 1-yard touchdown dash with 2:40 left before halftime. Moreover, Kellen Clemens hit Samie Parker with a 7-yard scoring strike to make it 21-10 with 26 seconds left in the half. The second quarter of the Seattle Bowl ended with a score of 14-7, Demon Deacons.
Matt Wisnosky was successful in having a 43-yard goal for Wake Forest's Demon Deacons with 9:37 remaining in the third quarter of the Seattle Bowl. This was followed by Matt Floberg's 1-yard run with 5:39 remaining in the third quarter. In addition to this, Jason Anderson of Wake Forest University had a 63-yard pass form MacPherson with 2:02 remaining in the third quarter of the exciting, Seattle Bowl. The Seattle Bowl continued its fourth quarter with Chris Barclay adding a 12-yard touchdown run to close the game of the 2002 Seattle Bowl.
The Seattle Bowl of the 2002 season ended with a 38-17 victory of the Wake Forest University's Demon Deacons football team over the University of Oregon's Oregon Ducks football team. The Seattle Bowl was held successfully as both teams strived and gave their best shots. The fans and supporters were delighted because Seattle Bowl was really an exciting game.
The Seattle Bowl provides a great game that everyone could really enjoy. The Seattle Bowl tickets of the previous Seattle Bowl season were sold abundantly because it is indeed a much awaited event. Furthermore, the Seattle Bowl tickets open a doorway to fun, exciting and great sports entertainment.
No one showed up to the bowl games in Hawaii so Jeep determined to move operations to the balmy climate of Seattle. The Cardinal and Georgia Tech signed on early on and will square off in what should be a high-scoring and highly amusing bowl with tons of offense and some interesting coaching subplots. Georgia Tech lost last year's Peach Bowl to LSU after losing offensive manager Ralph Friedgen to Maryland. This year, the Yellow Jackets have three troubles to deal with. The first is the loss of head coach George O'Leary to Notre Dame and the second being a terrible finish to its regular season losing to rivals Georgia and Florida State in back-to-back weeks. Now they must wok it out with the loss of star RB Joe Burns who flunked out of school.

Vehicle Strikes Horse A press release by the Perkins County Sheriff reports that there was a horse struck and killed on Highway 61 north of Grant at about mile marker 76 or just north of Road 768 (Church Road) at about 4:10 a.m. on Feb. 20. The 53-year-old female driver from Imperial was uninjured in the accident; the horse, as stated above, was killed as a result of the collision. The vehicle sustained damage in the accident, but was driven away from the scene. It was foggy at the time of the accident and the horse was believed to have broken through the fence and had gotten onto the highway after being chased by coyotes.
Public Disturbance The Perkins County Sheriff's Office was notified of a disturbance in progress in the parking lot of Kwik Stop located at 514 Central Avenue at around 6:59 p.m. on Feb. 22. According to a press release by the sheriff's office: 911 calls to the Perkins County Sheriff's Office from citizen bystanders revealed a husband and wife were involved in the disturbance and the wife had been choked by her husband. A small child belonging to the couple was reported to have been present during the disturbance, but was unharmed. Upon arriving on scene, Sheriff Jim Brueggeman made contact with 32-year-old J. Dutch Hecht of Madrid. Due to the seriousness of the alleged offense and the sheriff's personal knowledge of Hecht being previously convicted in Perkins County Court on the offense of Carrying A Concealed Weapon, Sheriff Brueggeman deployed, but did not discharge, a taser to gain Hecht's compliance while waiting for a backup officer, Deputy Smidt, to arrive on scene and assist with safely taking Hecht into custody and searching him. At no time was a firearm ever deployed by law enforcement personnel nor was the public ever placed in harm's way by deployment of the Taser Electronic Control Device. Hecht was taken into custody without further incident and jailed in the Keith County Jail on charges of Felony Carrying A Concealed Weapon, Misdemeanor Third Degree Domestic Assault, Disturbing the Peace, and Disorderly Conduct. Hecht is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges March 2, 2011. The female, 25-year-old Jennifer N. Hecht of Brule, did not require medical treatment following the incident and was cited and released for Disturbing the Peace and Disorderly Conduct for her part in the incident. She is also scheduled to be arraigned on March 2.

Coach ejected after giving instructions in Spanish
Published: Friday, December 21, 2012 at 11:35 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 21, 2012 at 11:35 a.m.
COOPER CITY — Club officials are investigating after a youth soccer coach was ejected from a Broward County game when he gave instructions to players in Spanish.
Coach Ruben Albarracin says he felt discriminated when a referee forced him out of the Dec. 8 game.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports (http://sunsent.nl/U1pc3U) the players on Albarracin's team are mostly immigrants or the children of immigrants from Latin America.
Officials with the Optimist Club, which oversees the league, say the board asked coaches during a recent meeting to "speak in a language that everyone understands." They cited an incident last year when a coach speaking in Hebrew told players to break the legs of a rival team during a game.
Officials say league rules do not prohibit speaking in a foreign language during games.

Order allows Big Island aerial hunting to resume
By Associated Press
HILO, Hawaii (AP) A federal court order is allowing Hawaii officials to resume aerial hunting of feral sheep and goats in an effort to protect a critically endangered bird found only in certain parts of Mauna Kea.
Earthjustice hails the order issued earlier this week as crucial to the palila's survival.
The state Department of Land and Natural Resources suspended hunting the non-native animals after a Hawaii County ordinance was passed with strong community support to ban hunting from helicopters or airplanes.
The ordinance conflicts with previous court orders for the state to eradicate the animals that ravage the forest where the native birds live.
The bird is a Hawaiian honeycreeper whose population has declined 66 percent in the past decade, with fewer than 2,200 left.

When Is It Too Much? Occupy Protester Says She Miscarried After Being Kicked by PoliceDevan McGuinness
I will admit I have not been following much coverage about the Occupy protests. I know a lot has escalated over the past few weeks with the police and there are a few YouTube videos circulating showing police force and protesters.
I came across this article today posted on The Stranger and it make my stomach curl. A 19-year-old woman named Jennifer Fox was part of the protest in Seattle at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Pine Street on Tuesday, November 15th. She was three months pregnant, but felt this was an important protest for her to be a part of.
That was until, according to her, the police started walking towards the crowd while she screamed, "I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant. I'm trying to get out!"
Jennifer claims that the police then hit her — one officer hitting her in the stomach with their foot and another struck her in the stomach with a bicycle. After which they pepper sprayed her, "Right before I turned, both cops lifted their pepper spray and sprayed me. My eyes puffed up and my eyes swelled shut," says Jennifer.
She was taken to the ambulances on scene who drove her to a nearby hospital. After an ultrasound it was shown that the baby appeared to be fine. Jennifer says the trouble started Sunday when she started to experience cramps and a feeling she was going to pass out. Concerned friends called her another ambulance where she says she was told by a doctor that "there was no heartbeat" from the baby. "They diagnosed that I was having a miscarriage. They said the damage was from the kick and that the pepper spray got to it [the fetus], too."
When Jennifer was asked about why she made the choice to be present at the protests — according to The Stranger, she said, "I was worried about it, but I didn't know it would be this bad. I didn't know that a cop would murder a baby that's not born yet."
:: At what point is police force too much force? Do you think this was an acceptable amount for a pregnant protester? ::

Sen. Chris Murphy Endorses Hillary Clinton For PresidentJune 04 2015
Courant: At Mansfield Forum, 3 Democrats Vying For U.S. Senate Strive To Set Themselves ApartFebruary 24 2012
For the original article, please visit the Hartford Courant.
MANSFIELD — On the issues, there is not a lot of ideological distance between Susan Bysiewicz, Chris Murphy and William Tong. All three are mainstream Democrats who emphasize middle class values and pledge to help rebuild the nation's economy.
But at a candidates forum Thursday night, each presented a different image to voters.
Bysiewicz, the former secretary of the state, portrayed herself as a populist, a scrappy fighter, unafraid to do battle with special interests to get the job done. "I want to go to Washington to stand up to Wall Street interests that have caused a financial collapse in this country,'' Bysiewicz said. "I plan to go to Washington to hold Wall Street accountable and make them pay for the harm that they've done to our country."
Murphy, a three-term congressman who has spent most of his life in politics, says he's the guy with the experience to take on the Republicans in Washington — and to work across the aisle with them as well. "Over the last 14 years, I have been in public service for that long, but I think that I've been at the center of virtually every public policy fight that's mattered to middle class families, whether it's in Hartford or in Washington,'' said Murphy, who currently represents Connecticut's 5th District in Congress.
Tong, the son of Chinese immigrants, seized the mantle of the hardworking underdog who might be outspent but won't be out-hustled.
"I know I'm an underdog in this race,'' said Tong, a state representative from Stamford who lacks Murphy's campaign war chest and Bysiewicz's name recognition. "But I think in this economy, middle class, working people, seniors, we're all underdogs right now. This is not a moment for frontrunners. We need to reclaim the American dream. ... It's an underdog's dream. ... I'm ready to go to Washington to fight for underdogs."
The three Democrats are vying for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Joseph Lieberman, who is retiring after 24 years.
At least five Republicans, including wrestling entertainment magnate Linda McMahon, former Congressman Chris Shays and attorney Brian K. Hill among them, are also seeking the seat.
The forum, held in the auditorium of Mansfield Middle School, was organized by the Quiet Corner Democrats, a group of activists from throughout northeastern Connecticut. It wasn't a debate; instead, each candidate was asked to respond to the questions of the moderator.
Given Mansfield's rural nature, it's no surprise that there was a question about farm policy (all three agreed that family farms need support.) And being close to the University of Connecticut, the topic of college costs came up as well, with each candidate saying costs need to be reined in and aid to those who cannot afford an education needs to be made available.
But the economy dominated the night. At the outset, each of the three were asked to define the term "middle class" and explain what they would do to protect it.
Tong spoke of middle class in terms of its hopes and fears.
"We're not just a constituency to be polled and tested,'' he said. "We're not just a group to be talked to in an election season. We're people, trying to hold onto a quality of life, trying, and hoping to do better."
Tong invoked his own story of ascending into the middle class, from his days working at his parents' Chinese restaurant to a candidate for U.S. Senate. He joked that he probably knows how to make every dish on a standard Chinese menu.
Murphy, whose mother grew up in a New Britain housing project, said the middle class is measured more by mindset than household income. "I don't think that the definition of the middle class is a number,'' he said. "If you worry about what would happen to you if you lost your next paycheck, if you aren't really sure how you're going to get your kids through college, if you contemplate what it would be like if one of your family members got sick, you're a member of the middle class. If you don't worry about those things, you're probably not."
Bysiewicz defined the middle class "as just about everybody except for the wealthiest among us." She favors repealing the Bush-era tax cuts for those in top tax brackets, and raise taxes for "people like Mitt Romney and Warren Buffet" while providing tax relief to those earning more moderate wages.
The three Democratic candidates are scheduled to meet again on March 3 at a debate in Norwich hosted by the The Bulletin.

Download Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie as Kindle
Of the many 'rags to riches' stories in US history, Andrew Carnegie's is one of the most fascinating. After immigrating from Scotland when he was a child, he worked his way up through a telegraph company, and with sheer determination and hard work, his investments in the railroads and steel made him one of the richest man in the world. This story wouldn't be so interesting if he'd died with all of his loot: before he kicked the bucket he had given away 90% of his money.
His philanthropy funded thousands of libraries, music halls and parks that were free to the public. Super-rich computer moguls today are left with this legacy, and it seems like Bill Gates and Paul Allen are following his lead. But even average business-minded folks today can read Carnegie's autobiography for such a takeaway. Here is a look into the life and mind of one of history's richest men-in both wealth and character.

Seattle School Board President Kay Smith-Blum is quietly pursuing a post on the Washington State Board of Education, saying she's interested in changing state education policy and may want a position that wouldn't require as much time as serving on Seattle's board.
Smith-Blum hadn't wanted her candidacy known publicly. She said she applied just before the deadline about a week ago, and hadn't even told her fellow board members.
But Monday, news started to spread that she is one of six finalists for a vacant seat on the state board that may be filled as early as this week.
By state law, Smith-Blum can't serve on both bodies at once. If she is offered the state board job, she would have to resign from the Seattle School Board to take it.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- So the NRA sends a questionnaire to a Seattle state senator ...
Most Read Stories
Smith-Blum said she applied for the post as a way to position herself to be a candidate for other state board posts that won't be open until after her term on the Seattle School Board ends.
"It was communicated to me that they would look at candidates with the long run in mind," she said.
She said she was surprised and flattered to be a finalist for the current opening.
If selected, she said, she hasn't decided what she'll do.
She also hasn't made up her mind whether she'll instead seek a second term on the Seattle School Board.
She is one of three board members whose terms will expire this year.
The other two are Betty Patu, who is running for a second term, and two-term member Michael DeBell, who has said he won't seek a third term.
What Smith-Blum decides about Seattle and the state board depends on a number of factors — everything from how much time she wants to commit to school issues to some possible business opportunities that have come up for the Butch Blum clothing store she owns with her husband in downtown Seattle.
"I have a lot going on," she said, "and I've been very reflective about whether or not I can commit another four years at the level of commitment that I have been happy to make these last four years."
She said she remains very interested in Seattle schools, but also thinks that state policy needs to change to reflect what's happened with technology and the global marketplace.
"There are some critical things that our students need to be competent at doing and understanding that literally didn't exist five years ago," she said.
"That's going to take great change and it's going to take a lot of tenacious voices, and if nothing else, I'm tenacious."
The state board's responsibilities include setting state graduation requirements, creating and administering a school performance index, and overseeing some charter-school policies.
The other five finalists for the state board post include former Seattle School Board member Peter Maier as well as Sue Corey, Angela Griffin, Fred O'Neal and Bill Williams.
The finalists will be interviewed Tuesday by four state board members who hold the positions elected by members of the Washington State School Directors Association. Those four will select one of the finalists, who will then go before the full board for approval.
The state board is scheduled to meet Wednesday and Thursday, then again in June.
Smith-Blum was elected to the Seattle School Board in 2009, representing the Central Area, Capitol Hill and part of downtown Seattle.
She was elected president in December in a 4-3 vote that reflected a split between older and newer members of the board on a number of issues.

Why you should skip the $97 iPhone Walmart deal
Many would-be iPhone owners are wondering whether it's smart to buy the current iPhone 3GS for $97 at Walmart when the new iPhone release is little more than a month away.
My advice: Stay away from the $97 Apple iPhone deal if you want a real bargain. Believe me, Walmart and any other retailer that joins the company in discounting existing iPhones is smart because they're betting the new iPhone will be just as hot selling as its predecessors (the iPhone revolutionized the cell phone and smart phone industry) and its as-popular tablet computer cousin the iPad. How popular you ask? The iPad sold a million units in 28 days, a mark it took the iPhone 74 days to reach, and the iPad did it during a bad, bad economy.
Which leads to why I believe buying a discounted iPhone 3GS (which I own and am very satisfied with) is the wrong way to go. First, you won't save as much as you might think. Buying an existing iPhone 3GS not only locks you into old technology, it locks you into a two-year AT&T contract that comes with an increased early termination fee of $325.
Yes the iPhone 3GS will perform well and users will be able to upgrade to 4.0 software when released next month. But it will still be eclipsed by the added features to the new iPhone, including some that remain in high demand by existing owners, such as a front-facing camera for video chatting and business conferencing. The new iPhone will also boast longer battery life (the existing iPhone suffers ongoing criticism for its relatively short juice time) and a much faster processor, key components for any smart phone.
And for those key new features you may only have to pay an extra $100. Apple has not announced official prices for the new iPhone, but many expect the starting price to be $199.
MacRumors.com places the iPhone 3GS on its "Don't Buy" list, along with Apple Cinema Displays and MacBook Air laptops because updates from Apple are due out soon.

Congressional officials are warning car owners to beware of scams playing off the Cash for Clunkers program.
They say some fraudulent Web sites ask consumers for personal information to register. But registering is not necessary for Cash for Clunkers. That paperwork is taken care of at the dealership when you go to buy or lease a new car.
The Cash for Clunkers program gives consumers up to $4,500 in federal subsidies if they trade in their cars for new, more energy-efficient models. The cars must meet certain criteria for owners to qualify.

The bus and another vehicle collided at the intersection of the two streets, southeast of Budd Park, about 3:20 p.m.
The bus was carrying 42 students from East High School. Officials said another bus was being sent to the scene to pick up the children and take them home.

If you want to talk about something that comes from something else, but you want to sound sophisticated and maybe financial or scientific, use derive, like so: That scent? It's derived from a solution of roses boiled with toothpicks.
The word derive derives from (see how we did that?) the Latin rivus or stream, as in water. That image of the stream may help you remember the meaning of derive; you may picture tracing tiny streams back to their main source. Derive is a verb, as you can see, but it's often in the news in the noun form derivative: something that is derived from something else, as in "juice is a derivative of an orange."
Definitions of derive
v reason by deduction; establish by deduction
- Types:
gain knowledge of (an area not known or experienced) by extrapolating
infer from incomplete evidence
derive by reason
- Type of:
conclude, reason, reason out
decide by reasoning; draw or come to a conclusion
v develop or evolve from a latent or potential state
- Synonyms:
- educe
- Types:
etymologise, etymologize
give the etymology or derivation or suggest an etymology (for a word)

TUPELO – A change in companies overseeing operations of the city's wastewater treatment plant will save approximately $24,660 per year.
The savings will ward off an increase in water and sewage rates for city customers, city officials estimate. Council members approved the change in contract Tuesday from OMI to ESG Operations Inc. The contract is for three years, according to Johnny Timmons, manager of Tupelo Water & Light.
OMI has operated the treatment plant for six years. But in September, Timmons said, the company wanted a 16.7 percent increase to renew its contract. "That was, I think," he said, "a little ludicrous." The city negotiated OMI down to a 12 percent increase or $1.30 million per year, but, Timmons said, he didn't feel comfortable with that, either.
ESG Operations out of Atlanta proposed a yearly contract of $1.2 million. "Each of the three principle partners of ESG has, over the past 15 years, worked with more than 50 municipal clients managing the day-to-day operations," Timmons said, "and maintenance of over 150 water and wastewater treatment facilities across the Southeastern United States."
Employees working now at the wastewater treatment facility won't lose their jobs, the director of Tupelo Water & Light said, instead, they'll be interviewed by the new company.

New data showing an experimental AstraZeneca lung cancer drug shrank tumours in more than half of patients gives the British group fresh ammunition to argue that Pfizer's takeover offer undervalues it substantially.
Britain's second-biggest drugmaker has rejected a $106 billion approach from its US rival Pfizer, arguing that it has a bright future as an independent firm due to a promising pipeline of cancer and other drugs.
Its new lung cancer drug, known as AZD9291, targets a genetic mutation that helps tumours evade current treatments. AstraZeneca believes it could sell as much as $3 billion a year.
Results from an early-stage Phase I trial of the drug, released late on Wednesday, showed AZD9291 shrank tumors in 51% of patients. Tumours shrank in 64% of patients found to have the mutation, known as T790M, which develops in about half of lung cancers that become resistant to drugs known as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors.
Savvas Neophytou, an analyst at brokerage Panmure Gordon, said the results were impressive and AstraZeneca's management is right to be excited by the pipeline. AstraZeneca shares were 0.5% higher in a flat London market by 7:45 am GMT.
EGFR drugs, such as Roche's Tarceva and AstraZeneca's own Iressa, are used to treat various solid tumor cancers with mutated or overactive EGFR. Around 15% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, the most common form of the disease, have mutations in the EGFR gene.
But most of them will eventually become resistant to available EGFR inhibitors, said Dr Pasi Janne, professor of medicine at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School in Boston and the study's lead investigator.
AZD9291 is one of several new drugs flagged by AstraZeneca last week in a bid to convince investors of the strength of its experimental pipeline.
Chief executive Pascal Soriot told Reuters that data presented at this year's annual ASCO meeting would demonstrate how AstraZeneca was developing new therapy regimens that would change the way cancer was treated.
The British company forecasts that peak annual sales of the cancer drug could reach $3 billion, which is more than the $1 billion to $2 billion currently predicted by analysts.
The Phase I trial, featured ahead of the meeting of ASCO later this month, involved 199 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutations whose disease worsened despite treatment with a current EGFR inhibitor.
The most common side effects seen in the trial included diarrhea and rash, but researchers said

Silverleaf Debt Solutions has updated their business model to meet the new FTC standards. They are now charging a flat 15% of the settled debt amount.
Setup Fee: 15%
Monthly Fee: None
Settlement Fee: None
TASC Members: No
BBB Complaints (Total): 2
BBB Complaints (Closed): 2 (1 was a no response, this means Silver Leaf failed to respond to the complaint)
In Business Since: October 2009
Company Address:
14275 Midway Rd., Suite 200
Addison, TX 75001-3614
Silver Leaf Debt Solutions, sometimes spelled Silverleaf Debt Solutions, is an Addison, Texas based settlement company that has been doing a LOT of online advertising lately. Someone posted a comment to the site asking about them, so here is the review. They have only been in business since last October of last year and are members of USOBA and the IAPDA but not TASC. They have received 2 BBB complaints since starting (1 was resolved and 1 they did not respond to). Silver Leaf appears to be a front end for Lloyd Ward and Associates, a Texas based law firm. All email correspondence with the company came from the Lloyd Ward Group but contained Silverleaf branding. Their program charges the standard 15% of your debt amount.
The BBB has given Silver Leaf an F rating but that is not really a surprise considering their recent campaign against debt settlement companies. One interesting point is they claimed I would not be sued because they are a law firm. I'm not sure of the regulations on being both a law firm and settlement company but I'm quite confident that your creditors can still sue you. The settlement company and law firm combo is nothing new to the industry and I don't think it really provides much of a benefit. You, a debt settlement employee or an attorney are all going to get pretty much the same settlement as the collectors don't care about anything but closing out the account.
Important Questions
Money back guarantee: Minus fees.
Stop creditor calls: No, they can give them an alternate number though.
Make monthly payment to creditors: No
Can I get sued while on program: No, we are a law firm and we will negotiate with your creditors.
Tax Consequences: Depends on your creditors.
Credit Impact: Your credit will decrease but we can rebuild it.
Where do they hold money: Trust fund.

I would like to create a zimlet where you could drag a contact onto it. At this point it would open a new email, and paste the contact information into the body of the email.
That way, if someone outside my company wants a contact I can at least give it to them easily.
Is this possible?

I was really intrigued when I saw Jessica's new shoes! Personally, I'd never seen any like them before, so I figured I'd share them with you! She tells me she got them right here in Philly, and they're by FLY London. On top of that, they are eco-friendly and really comfortable! I think the soles are my favorite part!

I have 4 season tickets in the parquet, at this time it looks like I will be unable to attend the game this weekend. I would consider selling 2 or all 4. Tickets are in section 110. I may also have some tickets available for the games on 14, 15, 16. PM me if interested in any of the tickets.
I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.

JOLIET, Ill. — Chase Elliott is proving to be a quick study. A few questions for his teammates and a couple of practice laps, and he was ready to roll in his first race at Chicagoland Speedway.
Elliott held off Trevor Bayne to earn his third Nationwide Series win of the season Saturday night, putting the rookie on top of the standings.
"We had an awesome race going," Elliott said. "I try to make the most of my practice laps. They gave me a good car. That gives me time to learn the track in practice."
Elliott had a strong car all day long for JR Motorsports, qualifying third and leading a race-high 85 laps. Bayne tried to chase him down on fresh tires in the final laps, but ran out of time.

"The gap was closing," Bayne said. "Probably 10 more laps, but we'll never know."
Elliott, the son of former NASCAR champion Bill Elliott, also won in his first trips to Texas and Darlington this year. He leads the standings by seven points over Regan Smith.
Chase Elliott said Smith and Kasey Kahne of Enumclaw provided some important advice about the track.
"I did have some questions that I asked, and I definitely think that helped tonight," he said. "So thankful to have a couple great teammates and good to have something to lean back on with those guys."
Kyle Larson was third, followed by Kahne and Ty Dillon to round out the top five.
Brian Scott, who started on the pole, finished sixth and earned $100,000 in the second event of the four-race "Dash 4 Cash" bonus program.
Kahne and Larson were the lone Sprint Cup regulars in the field on an off weekend for NASCAR's top series. Everyone comes back to Chicagoland in September on the same weekend that the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship begins at the 1.52-mile oval.
• IndyCar's weekend doubleheader will be crammed into one day because Saturday's race was called because of rain.
IndyCar was scheduled to run a second race Sunday in Toronto. The open wheel series will now run both races Sunday.
IndyCar officials originally had decided to make it a 90-minute or 65-lap race once it started. But with rain falling into the night, officials decided to call the race.
Sebastien Bourdais won his first open-wheel pole since 2007 earlier in the day.
• Formula One championship leader Nico Rosberg claimed pole position for the German Grand Prix as Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton crashed out in a qualifying session and will start 15th on the grid. Rosberg completed the fastest lap on the Hockenheimring in 1 minute, 16.540 seconds in the third part of the session for what was also the weekend's fastest time.

Nationals Represent at the All-Star Game
With Gio Gonzalez, Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg sporting their gray road uniforms, Washington had three representatives in the 2012 MLB All-Star game tonight in Kansas City. Four if you count shortstop Ian Desmond, who backed out due to an oblique injury. No matter how you add it up, this season has produced the most mid-summer ambassadors for the Nationals since the mid-90's Montreal Expos franchise.
Gonzalez was the first National to make an appearance. With a 5-0 lead, he tossed 11 pitches in a 1-2-3 third inning against the American League. The crafty lefty struck out Texas Rangers catcher Mike Napoli on five pitches, forced a fly out to left field after four pitches to Yankees outfielder Curtis Grandersen and pitched Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter into a groundout after two pitches.
Strasburg followed up Gonzalez' performance with a shaky 17-pitch fourth inning. The inning featured a single (Robinson Cano – Yankees), groundout double play (Josh Hamilton – Rangers), walk (Jose Bautista – Blue Jays), and a fly out (Prince Fielder – Tigers). He didn't give up a run and kept the N.L.'s 8-0 lead in tact. Eight of his 17 pitches were strikes.
Harper saw his first action of the night leading off the fifth with a walk from Angels pitcher Jered Weaver on six pitches. He later tagged up and took second base on a fly ball out from Giants catcher Buster Posey. The next batter, Mets third baseman David Wright, hit a ground ball that took a big bounce to Weaver and fooled Harper, who was already headed to third. Weaver made a nice leaping snag and caught Harper in a rundown.
The inning didn't get easier for Harper. The youngest position player to participate in an All-Star Game took left field for the N.L. but made the blooper reel by losing a routine fly ball from Napoli in the Kauffman Stadium lights. The ball dropped right behind him before he knew it. He did end the inning by catching the final out.
After an uneventful sixth inning, the 19-year-old led of the seventh inning with a strikeout on four pitches from Athletics pitcher Ryan Cook. He played through the seventh and caught a fly ball from Beltway rival Matt Wieters of the Orioles.
Harper played the rest of the game and almost got his third at-bat of the night in the top of the ninth but only made it as far as the the on-deck circle. He finished the game 0-for-1 with a walk and a strikeout.
The game was closed out by Phillies pitcher Jonathan Papelbon to secure the National League's 8-0 win.
With the N.L. victory, fans of the Curly W that are already fantasizing about a World Series with home field advantage in D.C. are thrilled with the outcome.

Majesco Entertainment announced that it has sold more than 500,000 units of Zumba Fitness for Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3 to "retailers nationwide." The company also claims that the game is one of its "fastest-selling titles, having reached this milestone in less than two months."
Of course, Majesco is talking about retailer interests more than consumer interest here: the difference between shipped and sell-through are quite stark; shipped means retailers want to stock their shelves with the game, while sold-through means consumers have actually purchased the game.
Zumba Fitness is an exergaming title for the Wii, Xbox 360 Kinect, and PlayStation Move. The game uses the motion controls of each system to help users lose weight and get into shape using nine different dance styles: Reggaeton, Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Hip-Hop, Mambo, Rumba, Flamenco and Calypso. The game also features 30 music tracks to dance to.
