C.A.B. organization to hold event at Echo Bluff
SPRING VALLEY — An area girl is using her experience with bullying to protect other children from the same occurrence.
Jeralyn Cunningham and her daughter, Emily, have created a new organization to address the problem of bullying in the schools.
"We have been contemplating this — my daughter, Emily, and I — for the last couple of years," Cunningham said. "She has gone through a little bout with some bullying, and she always wanted to do this."
The name of the new organization is C.A.B. "Communities Against Bullying," and its mission is to raise awareness, promote a sense of understanding and compassion for others, and encourage faculty, students, parents and communities to advocate consciousness that bullying is a very real concern.
Cunningham said about 10 to 15 people have already joined their group, which is holding an event next week in recognition of National Bullying Day.
The event, designed for children in junior high and younger, will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday at the Echo Bluff Park just south of Route 29 between Spring Valley and DePue. In addition to free hot dogs and drinks, there will be face painting and a balloon launch to honor the children who have taken their lives as a result of bullying. Cunningham said they also have bracelets bearing the message "Be a Buddy, Not a Bully."
Guest speakers will include Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson and state Senate candidate Christine Benson, who will talk about her experiences with bullying as a school superintendent.
Also speaking will be Betty Hoeffener, co-founder of Hey U.G.L.Y., which stands for unique, gifted, lovable you. Hey U.G.L.Y. is an organization that is dedicated in helping youth with self-esteem and empathy-building programs to empower them to be a part of the bullying solution.
Cunningham said the group is trying to raise funds to bring American Idol contestant Devyn Rush to some area schools to sing and to speak about her experiences being bullied in middle school.
Cunningham said the response to the group has been tremendous.
"We've been growing every day," she said. "Our Facebook page just kind of took off."
Cunningham said the problem with bullying is a lot bigger than what people anticipate.
"There are some children that can deal with it more than others, and I think sometimes that our kids get so beat down that it just kind of takes a little of their self-esteem away from them," she said. "It's so hard for our children to go to school and to grow in this day and age now without having to be picked on and degraded constantly."
And the impact of bullying doesn't always go away.
"I've been getting phone calls and in-box messages from parents who were bullied," she said. "They're resurfacing, telling their stories about how horrible it was, and how they never forget it."
While bullying has always been around, Cunningham said it's taken on new dimensions with cyber-bullying, text messaging and Facebook. She said television also promotes bullying.
"What it's promoting, what is good, is the mean girl," she said. "The mean girl is the popular girl."
Cunningham said awareness of bullying is growing. For example, Secret deodorant has a new campaign out, called Mean Stinks, to combat girl-to-girl bullying.
Cunningham said awareness of bullying also needs to be taught to parents.
"The parents need to know they have to teach their children to respect others, and get involved," she said.
Another problem is that some of the parents were bullies themselves.
"Bullies are bullied, and it's contagious," she said.
Cunningham said many organizations are supporting C.A.B. including the Bureau/Putnam County Community Partners Against Substance Abuse group, who will attend Monday's event.
Word about C.A.B. has spread through flyers that were sent to schools in Cherry, Ladd, Dalzell, Spring Valley and DePue, and through the Facebook page. Cunningham said she has already heard from people in LaSalle and Putnam counties who also want to be involved.
"Bullying is everywhere," she said. "I think this is going to be an amazing thing for our little community."

Bear with Us: Teddy Bears Can Ease Children's Trauma
Last Modified 11:06 AM, June 15, 2010
Paige Sleeman, daughter of Housing & Residential Life staff assistant Ginger Sleeman, checks out a DPSPS teddy bear.
June 15, 2010—
Teddy bears bring joy and comfort to children, especially when they experience trauma.
For this reason, the Department of Public Safety and Police Services at Michigan Technological University is starting a program to give teddy bears to children who are involved in a house fire, a car crash or similar event. Says Deputy Chief Brian Cadwell, "Police, fire and rescue personnel have found that teddy bears provide welcome, on-site and in-transit comfort to children involved in these situations."
Something cuddly, it seems, can be calming, says Daniel Bennett, director of the department. "Having a teddy bear to hold on to and hug can really help to bring the child's stress level down in traumatic situations."
For many years around the nation, children have received these teddy bears. "This is a worthwhile effort," says Bennett.
Tech is starting out with one teddy bear in each of the two patrol cars--wrapped up nicely and ready to become some youngster's friend. Another six are in reserve. "It is still too early to tell how long they will last," says Cadwell. "We will be very happy if we never have a situation where we give a bear to a child. But if the situation arises, we will be properly equipped."
For more information, contact Cadwell at 487-2216 or firstname.lastname@example.com .
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

Cox out, Johnson in as football coach at P.K. Yonge
Published: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 7:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 7:55 p.m.
Rob Cox stepped down as head football coach at P.K. Yonge on Wednesday, 26 days before the opening of preseason practices and following two seasons that resulted in just four wins.
Cox, who replaced Nathaniel "Lou" Seward after two seasons which also produced four wins, will be replaced by former Eastside and Hawthorne coach Kent Johnson, who recently resigned as Newberry High's athletic director after two years.
"I just wanted to step back a little bit, spend more time with my children," said Cox, who has a son entering eighth grade and a daughter entering fifth. "I am not going to have that opportunity forever. I will still be here on Friday nights. Next year, I will be the No. 1 fan. I will probably be involved and help Kent with the transition. I will go back to being the behind-the-scenes guy."
The Blue Wave had seasons of 3-7 in 2011 and 1-9 in 2012 under Cox, a former varsity assistant who previously coached the middle school program. P.K. Yonge won its first two games in 2011, beating Williston and Chiefland, but lost 16 of the next 18 games, defeating only Jacksonville Christ Church Academy both years.
"The last few years there has been a lot of frustration," Blue Wave athletic director John Clifford said. "A lack of success takes its toll. Rob wears a lot of hats, runs the after-school program. He tries to do a lot of things.
"He will remain in our football program in some capacity. I would like him to work with the younger programs."
Johnson, who coached nine years at Eastside, led the Rams to five straight state playoff berths and three district titles between 2004-2008, reaching the regional finals in 2005. At Hawthorne, he had the Hornets in four playoffs in six years between 1995-2001.
Johnson has also coached girls basketball for 14 years, nine at Hawthorne and five at Eastside (Class 4A finalists in 2005), and has also coached track. He has 32 years of high school athletic experience in Alachua County.
"Kent and I have been friends for a long time," Clifford said. "For our situation, trying to rebuild the program, he is probably the best we could find. We are kind of lucky that he was available for the position."
Originally, Johnson had planned to be a physical education instructor at Oak View Middle School in Newberry this fall.
"(The administration was) realistic about the lack of success P.K. Yonge has had in football the last couple of years," said Johnson, who worked with school principal Catherine Atria while at Newberry. "They realized Rob worked hard and felt a change would be a shot in the arm to revitalize the program. I have a lot of experience. When you make a change, sometimes change brings about renewed enthusiasm."
P.K. Yonge, which will play in District 2-3A the next two years, hasn't reached the state playoffs since 2004. Among the schools in the four-team district is traditional football power Ocala Trinity Catholic, which has reached the postseason 10 straight years and won a pair of state titles.
"A lot of it depends on players and the schedule," said Clifford, who led the Blue Wave to eight playoffs, including six straight from 1999-2004. "Every two years the FHSAA changes things up, either we are in a league we can't compete in or a league we can compete in. We may not be on the level of Trinity Catholic right now, but I believe the other teams (Daytona Beach Father Lopez, Tallahassee Maclay) we have a chance to play with right now."
Cox said it was an honor to be head coach of the Blue Wave and believes the hiring of Johnson is positive for the program.
"It is not about me, it is about them and I want the program to be successful," Cox said. "To have a person as accomplished as Kent Johnson doesn't come often. To have someone like that is great for the program. He works well with young athletes. I am still part of the program and will help coach Johnson any way I can."
The Blue Wave, who were shut out by Class 1A Crescent City in their spring game (62-0), must find new playmakers on both sides of the ball this season. Johnson said he is not concerned about the past, and will begin work Monday, assembling his staff and teaching the basics to his players.
"It's short (preparation) to say the least, all we can do is start teaching and learning," he said. "I will get in there on Monday and start. We will work on some 7-on-7 stuff and figure out who on campus should be playing. We want people to come out.
"I think we have a chance to make a statement. When I was at Hawthorne, P.K. Yonge was the standard we tried to be like. I know this school has a great tradition. I have been around here coaching for 30 something years, and eventually we can get a school up and running and win big here. I've never seen P.K. Yonge in the light of football like it has been the last four years. They have a lot of tradition that we will try to recapture."

Topic: Suggestion and infomation about TPN nutrition-a reprinted message
This is a reprinted message;as always this is for information purposes only,you must consult with health professionals(doctor and dietician) for more info.
It will not be a bad idea to ask the head dietician to do a swallow evaluation to see how well your mom can swallow things;ask him/her to see whether entero feeding is out of the question or which one at this point is better if TPN is needed based on the carloies count, electrolytes and hydration needs,- peripheral TPN or central TPN ,cyclic or continuous?) .One caution,having TPN for a long period of time may cause ammonia level to rise. (because the amino acids content in the TPN)and you may need to watch out for that.Base on what you wrote,it may not be a bad idea to have TPN if the dietician agree. I don't understand why blood transfusion is so difficult to have in your case especially post-op.My post-op Hgb at discharge was 10.5. so there is no need for blood transfusion.
God bless.

Retirement planning can seem extremely complex, with scores of complicated terms and acronyms.
But like most things that are complicated when you first look at them, they can become pretty straightforward once you understand the concepts.
This column will explain some basic concepts of tax planning and deferral, then get into the extra choices business owners (and ex-business owners) have to make. Over the next several weeks, we will take a look at specific RRSP and TFSA considerations, but today will focus on overall strategies.
A good basic strategy is to defer the taxable sources of income as long as possible, and instead draw on tax-free or partly taxable sources in the early years of retirement
Certain retirement income is fully taxable, including OAS, CPP, pension income, RRSP, RRIF and LIF withdrawals and any ongoing employment or net self-employment and rental income.
Other types of income are tax-free. These include withdrawals from TFSA accounts and withdrawals of capital from savings accounts, bonds and any other non-RRSP or RRIF investments. However, if any of these investments have gained in value, then half of the gain is taxable in the year the investment is sold or redeemed.
Other types of income can be considered partly taxable or taxed at a lower rate. These include dividends on shares of publicly traded corporations or private corporations and appreciated investments on which there are capital gains.
Private corporations might be operating companies involved in businesses or investment holding companies, which may be the result of a business owner selling the business.
A good basic strategy is to defer the taxable sources of income as long as possible, and instead draw on tax-free or partly taxable sources in the early years of retirement.
This means using non-registered savings and TFSAs instead of withdrawing from RRSPs and RRIFs (until forced to do this at age 71) and spending the dividends, interest and other taxable investment income sources on non-registered investments. These amounts are taxable whether spent or not, so they should be used for living if the alternative is to draw on an RRSP, RRIF or LIF.
The exception to the rule of avoiding taxable sources of income may be when you have an entitlement, such as OAS, CPP or a company pension plan. Some of these payments will increase if deferred, so make sure you are clear on the formula. It might be worth your while to wait, especially if you plan to live a long time, but it does mean your total value from these plans could be decreased if you pass away early.
Complicating things is every dollar of "net" income above $72,000 results in 15 cents of OAS denied. Dividends add disproportionately to the calculation of net income, even though the actual tax on dividends is disproportionately low.
Owners of private corporations may have options for income splitting among family if they have set up their ownership structure properly. Generally, the best strategy is to pay dividends from these corporations in order to pay out the retained earnings over time. If the shareholder dies with large retained-earnings balances in the corporation, this may result in double taxation.
The shareholder is deemed to have sold the shares on death, resulting in a capital gain. However, the retained earnings are still within the corporation, and a taxable dividend must be paid to the surviving shareholders if that value is to be removed and used. So consider spending that money before RRSPs and RRIFs.
Regarding RRSPs, there is no requirement to withdraw and pay tax until age 71. By the end of the year in which you turn 71, you must convert your RRSP into an RRIF or annuity and take income in the following year. The minimum is 7.48 per cent of the previous Dec. 31 value, in your 72nd year.
There is a lot more than I can put in a single column, so I encourage you to get some good advice to plan your retirement and do some reading. I happen to have written a great book on this stuff.

Please tell me alternatives to adsense who is good, not bidvertiser, clicksor, adbrite,chitika, smowtion, byesellads. It is some else who pay good?
there is no alternative to adsense in terms of money earned.
It depends what you mean by "alternative". No contextually matched networks come close, but you can get excellent (and often better eCPMs) from other more traditional ad networks like Tribal Fusion, Casale Media, ValueClick Media, and Burst Media if you have enough quality traffic.
Thank you for info, I'll try with this network.
AdSense is the King!
You can try to use Adbrite, Fidelity Media, Value Click.But if your site has illegal content then you can have problems with approving...
Why don't the mentioned PPCs suite you? Some of them are really reliable guys, I think.
I just use adbrite as my alternative for adsense. Just keep on doing your knowledge in marketing for you to improve the clicks of your ads.
I use Adsense for my premium traffic and Fidelity Media with Adbrite for remnant traffic.I think it's perfect scheme!
unfortunately,you named the best alternatives.did you try infolinks ??rather good one. also you ask to name "good"...good according to what ???
...according to results
How about trying an alternative to CPC?
Have you tried monetizing through CPA or affiliate products instead? If not it may be more viable for you. Check out Peerfly/FluxAds for CPA and Clickbank/Commission Junction for affiliates...
I love infolinks. Most of my traffic has ctr of 15% or more. Less per click but more clicks.
In my point of view, Google AdSense still the best among all. There are people complaint about the CTR is getting lower, and people tend to look for alternative. However, if we look at the other side, it may be the competition has increased. Meaning, the demand of Google AdWords never decreased. Till to-date, I am still the Google AdWords advertiser
These are the some alternatives of adsense:-BidvertiserInfolinks / IntellilinksPocket CentsKonteraExit JunctionDynamic OxygenAdBull
if you have good traffic you can try adspilot on eCPM basis

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
They are in the packet they send you when you take the course. There are perworkshop question, questions during the workshop videos, homework, going further quesitons, lesson plans to write that you may never use, a reflective paper, and then a big lesson plan of some kind for 405 of your grade which is just pass/fail. A bit much?

Battering ram on a giant missile works fine. You don't even need to spend a d12 to make it armor-piercing! Just add another d6 and it'll get negated by the armor, allowing the rest of the damage to plow right in. Cheaper CP-wise for the exact same effect.
Jokes on you if you toss grenades into a cockpit or control room - you're gonna fry the controls and turn the tank into an ugly building instead.

Almay Liquid Eyeliner
I usually get the almay stick eyeliner, but it melts into my eyelids by midday. So I picked the liquid one up in the same color (brown) and it's perfect! The brush is stiff to give you max control and the color goes on smooth. It's the same color that I'm used to, except now it doesn't smudge off. Awesome!

Hi folks!
So it's been awhile since I've written. Okay, over two years. What can I say; I got caught up with life, a new job, and maybe there was just a little bit of burn-out from finishing my dissertation and graduating. I wish I could say that this post was a new beginning in which I revive the blog but...that's probably not happening. (Though never say never.)
But there is good news! Advertising for Love is now being featured on Sky Living's website for the new show Dracula (which premiered in the United States on October 25, and will premiere in Great Britain tomorrow).
Advertising for Love is currently on the front page of The Inquisitor, a 19th-century newspaper created just for the show full of content about life, love, fashion, and history in the era when the show took place. And for any newcomers, you can find this week's ad right here!
Go check it out! I'm excited!!

Spring Produce: In Season and So Good For You
Spring Produce: In Season and So Good For You
After months of butternut squash and other seasonal Winter produce, I was happy to see many of my Spring favorites appearing at the grocery store and farmers markets. Eating seasonally is not only cheaper, but the produce is tastier, fresher, and more nutritious when in season. Be on the lookout for these fruits and veggies on the shelves of your market.

While eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Royal Baby and placing our final gender bets Now that we know that Will and Kate have brought a little prince into the Royal family, Cooking Channel staffers have been thinking about the celebratory meals the Duchess and Duke will enjoy once they've returned home with the new babe. And though their dinners probably won't consist of the most classic British recipes, it occurs to us how many of these silly-named foods would be fitting for any "welcome to the family" meal. (What can we say? We've got Royal Baby on the brain. We're excited it's a boy.)
Bubble and Squeak (shown above) is the perfect any-time-of-day meal to mimic the cooing and crying a newborn baby is bound to do. The dish — given its name due to the silly sounds it makes while cooking — was originally made from the leftover vegetables from a roast dinner. But the fried root vegetable and bacon cakes are so delicious, they're worthy of making from scratch. Top the savory assortment with a fried egg to make it a meal.
Bangers and Mash are classic British pub fare — served with a wink they'll remind guests how the lil' Royal one came to be in the first place. This delicious take layers flavorful pork butt sausages atop a simple Yukon gold potato mash. Pool a generous portion of gravy at the bottom of your plate and let the mashed potatoes soak up the dark liquid.
An Eton Mess — the traditional pudding composed of fresh, sugar-coated berries, crumbled meringues and whipped cream — is the perfect no-fuss finale to this special meal. Because let's face it: Royal or non, changing diapers is a messy job. Changing a boy's diapers? Even messier.
And no celebratory meal would be complete without a boozy toast. After about 9 months of sobriety, a mild Earl Grey tea spritzer with sparkling wine and lemon will be plenty for new mom Kate. (Wills might need to make his a double, though.)
Want to make your own meal to welcome the Royal Baby? Get more classic British recipes here.

|•Nitrome's first Steam Greenlight game.
•Nitrome's first PC and Mac downloadable game.
Flightless is an upcoming multiplayer platforming-exploration Metroidvania game set for release in the coming future. The game was first announced through a preview image on September 27, 2011, with more information revealed on October 15, 2012, over a year after the image was released on the Nitrome blog.
The game was mentioned on Aaron Steed's twitter account weeks before its October 15th announcement[1][4] under the name "ladder game", and was also mentioned by Mat Annal during an interview with Gamasutra[5]. It was on October 15, 2012 Nitrome provided much more about the game, pitching it to Steam Greenlight, the game's minisite, and trailer.
Currently, the game's demo has been released, and is available to play. The game's full version will only be playable once it passes the Greenlight phase of Steam Greenlight, although whether it will be immediately playable is not known. The game will be Nitrome's first purchasable game[6].
As of February 22nd 2013, Nitrome is still working on the game, as the game itself is still not completely finished.[7]
Once released, Flightless will be immediately available for the Mac[8] and Windows[8] computers. Nitrome will be looking in to porting this game to other consoles, including Linux[8].
On August 28th 2013, Flightless was officially Greenlit.
Pressing the P button on the keyboard will bring up the pause screen, which sort of acts like a help menu. When the game is paused, fullscreen can be toggled on and off, controls for each character can be toggled, one can reset the demo, go to the game's Steam Greenlight page, and toggle the Music and Sound effect on and off.
Below lists the basic controls for each character. Controls can be changed by going to the pause menu, clicking a button that corresponds to a key, then pressing the key one wants to map that action to.
Player 1
Move left/right: ←/→
Create ladder:
Climb ladder up/down: ↑/↓
Player 2
Move left/right: A/D
Create ladder: E
Climb ladder up/down: W/S
Fullscreen enlarges the game's screen to a 4:3 ratio. During fullscreen, only the player who uses the keyboard keys (←↑↓→), mouse, and the space bar can play the game. This was the first Nitrome game to support fullscreen, and currently the only Nitrome game outside Nitrome Touchy compatible games to support fullscreen.
- Main section: Flightless Demo#Gameplay
Flightless is an exploration puzzle game where the players controls a duck. The game is described by Nitrome as a Metroidvania, mixing the elements of the 2D Metroid games and elements of the 2D Castlevania games. Flightless does not have any levels, but is instead divided up into rooms. Each room somewhere has an exit to another room. As the player is a flightless, jump-disabled bird, the player relies on creating magical ladders to progress through each room.
Creating a ladder will cause to move vertically up, until it hits a platform of wall. Upon coming to a stop, the player can climb up this ladder. The player at any time can move horizontally off the ladder, or continue climbing up it. The player cannot create a ladder while still on a ladder, the player can also only have one ladder at a time, creating another ladder causing the previous one to disappear.
Ladders can be used to kill enemies and get gems, but are mainly used for climbing to higher up areas. If a duck is killed, it will respawn in front of the entrance to the room they entered. Enemies can be killed by the player's ladder, however, the full game may have certain enemies impervious to damage from the ladder.
- Main section: Flightless Demo#Map
Flightless features a map displayed at the top right corner of the screen. This map displays nearby rooms and which room the player is in. Different rooms receive different colourations. Please note that everything described in this section is what has been seen in the demo of Flightless.
Red pixels indicate doors, a door being two red pixels high. Although 2x2 blocks of red pixels appear on the map, these blocks are actually two two pixel high bars placed beside each other.
An orange room is a room the player is currently in, where a green room is a room that contains a gem, and a brown-grey room is a room that has no gems. The game will contain rooms that do not show up on the map, these rooms being secret rooms. Secret rooms are rooms that are not accessed by usual door, but by shooting a ladder through blocks.
Blocks which lead to a secret rooms appear as 2-3 blocks that have a swirl on them, these blocks placed horizontally on a ceiling or floor. A single swirl block will not lead to a secret room, only swirl blocks placed side-by-side will lead to a secret room. Walking over two or more swirl blocks will cause the player to fall through them, while shooting a ladder in the direction of the blocks will cause the blocks to disappear.
Secret rooms are not marked on maps, even if they are entered, only two red dots will appear at the place the entrance to the room is, the map will only display the full room on the map when the room is entered. This is because the room on the map is so big, it cuts into the space of other rooms.

Flightless entered development sometime in or before September 2011, a screenshot from the game being revealed on September 2nd 2011. Although it is not known whether the decision was made prior to unveiling the game or after, Flightless was going to be a Steam game, and on September 19th 2012 Aaron Steed asked his Twitter followers whether they wanted to test the game before it was pitched to Steam Greenlight.[9] This posting to Greenlight was later more publicly highlighted by Mat Annal in a Gamasutra interview, though the exact game going to Greenlight was not named.[10]
On October 15th 2012, Nitrome officially unveiled the game's demo and that it was pitched to Steam, directing people to go vote for the game.[11] At this point, Nitrome had to get enough votes in order to fill a bar up to 100%. Votes for the game managed to slow down as of November 9th 2013[12], although later the game managed to be filled to 98%[13]. On December 7th, it was announced that Flightless had filled the bar completely and reached the top 100 Steam Greenlight games yet to be greenlit[14]. From then on to when it was greenlit on August 30th 2013, Flightless mainly wavered between between spots 80-70 of the most popular Steam Greenlight games yet to be greenlit.
On December 7th (when it entered the top 100), it was placed at #85 on the list, later falling to #89[14], but almost regaining it spot by jumping to #86 on December 21st 2012[15]. On February 27th 2013, the game was pushed to #75, due to several Steam Greenlight games being greenlit.[16] The game was finally greenlit on August 28th 2013[17]
During the time it was in the top 100 Steam Greenlight games yet to be greenlit, Nitrome had half given up on the project[18], the game being greenlit surprising them.
The game becoming greenlit caused Nitrome to return to the project and decide what was to be done with it[19], prior to this happening no new advances in development being made[19]. Although the game's long time in the greenlight phase gave Nitrome lots of time to work on the full game, the game's length in greenlight negatively effected the game's development[20] to the point of Nitrome "half working" on the game[18].
In June 2014 Nitrome shared how they were not working on Flightless [21], and explained later on that this was due to lack of a larger dedicated team on the game, time, a proper structure, and also needing to finish some other projects before resuming work on the game. [22][23] As of November 2014 the game is still not being worked on.[24] In January 2015 Nitrome also added that they are not working on Flightless due to lack of funds for the project. [25]
In late June 2015 Nitrome shared how their reason for not working on Flightless had changed, saying that its development would not work with Nitrome's current setup of developing mobile games and expansions to them[26]. They said that in order to develop Flightless they would have to either be very settled in mobile and put aside a small team to work on it or integrate Flightless' development alongside work on other mobile games[26]. Nitrome also said that either of these possibles could eventually happen[26].
On July 2nd, 2015, Nitrome introduced the possibility that they may not return to development on Flightless[27].
On March 21 2017, Flightless has been confirmed to be cancelled.

@MrMollusk if I can't buy food or pay the rent, then how will I make more games when I am hungry and homeless? :(
The price the game is sold for really depends on how much money is spent making it, it's still not finished - haven't even started the water levels yet (that's water done properly like we did ladders properly - not moving around like a snail hunting for air bubbles).

Ski resorts around the world rely on temperature and weather conditions in order for their businesses to survive, but that cannot be the case with the Winter Olympics. Simply put, there has to be snow. Without snow, the show will not go on. According to the Russian website Ria Novosti, the Alpine skiing resort for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi is preparing to refrigerate roughly 450,000 cubic feet of snow over the summer to assure that there is plenty of coverage on the mountain when the Games begin next February. Storing snow will help alleviate some of the concerns surrounding temperatures not being cold enough to bring natural snow when needed next year. "Storing snow from the 2012-2013 season will allow us to avoid the risk of insufficient natural snow quantities or anomalous temperatures next season," Rosa Khutor (the resort) said in a statement on Thursday. "The 450,000 cubic meters of 'last year's' snow is the volume that will guarantee the necessary covering on the slopes of Rosa Khutor, even in the worst weather conditions." How the heck do you refrigerate 450,000 cubic feet of snow? Seven on-site reservoirs will reportedly be used, each with the ability to store 100,000 cubic meters of snow. If you thought keeping a gallon of milk cold on a hot summer day caused your electric bill to spike, try spending $8 million to refrigerate an extraordinary amount of snow. Kudos to Russia for thinking ahead and preparing for any potential issues the weather might cause. As we learned over the summer during the London Olympics, extreme elements can create all kinds of problems and prevent operations from running smoothly.

The Mets today announced that shortstop Jose Reyes will undergo surgery to clean up scar tissue around the accessory hamstring tendon behind the right knee (semi tendinosis tendon). He will not require surgery for the separate hamstring muscle tear in his right leg which he suffered in late September while working out for his return to baseball.
Mets Medical Director Dr. David Altchek of the Hospital for Surgery in Manhattan has directed that the surgery be performed by Dr. Daniel E. Cooper – the leading expert in the country in the surgical treatment of the chronically torn semi tendinosis tendon in athletes. Cooper, affiliated with The Carrell Clinic and based in Dallas, is the head team physician for the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Stars. Cooper trained under Altchek at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
The date of the surgery is yet to be determined. Reyes is expected to fully recover and be ready for Spring Training.
