Activision: Mobile Graphics Will Catch Up To Xbox 360 In One Generation
Posted on August 26, 2012 AT 12:30pm
Mobile devices have had huge technical leaps thanks to a heated arms race between companies like Apple, Google, and Samsung, but the ceiling hasn't been hit just yet. In fact, phones and tablets will be more powerful than Xbox 360s.
That's the word from Activision mobile vice president Greg Canessa, who tells CVG that with the current pace of smartphone and tablet development, you'll be playing even more Call of Duty on mobile systems:
The CPU and GPU capabilities of mobile devices will reach Xbox 360 levels of graphical fidelity and processing power within the next generation.
Activision will be creating a mix of casual and immersive gaming experiences on mobile, but as I say smartphones are more and more allowing for us to create those kinds of experiences. The games that Activision publishes on console, the games it publishes on PC, pretty soon we'll be publishing those kinds of experiences on tablets and smartphones.
If it's possible to get the experience of a Modern Warfare title on an iPad, Canessa says that Activision will be all-in on that front, not worrying at all about it impacting their console and PC sales.
Although CVG tried to pose the question in a hypothetical situation with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Canessa didn't take the bait, only saying that the concept would be interesting. MW4 is rumored to be in development.

Huskies aim to get back on track vs. lowly Seton Hall
|St. John's Chris Obekpa (12) defends as Connecticut guard Ryan Boatright (11) shoots a layup during the first half of their NCAA college basketball game, Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013, at Madison Square Garden in New York. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
At noon today, UConn is scheduled to tip off against Seton Hall at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
The travel ban left the Huskies stranded until around 7 p.m. Saturday, when they mushed off to New Jersey, and the treacherous roads made bus travel difficult. Just another obstacle in a UConn season filled with them.
The latest non-weather obstacle appears to be the Huskies themselves. Suddenly, they can't put the ball in the basket, which made things tough in an overtime victory against South Florida and killed the Huskies' chances of completing a big second-half comeback Wednesday night against St. John's.
"We're shooting too many (3-pointers) and we missed 17 layups against St. John's," UConn coach Kevin Ollie said. "That's unbelievable. We have to convert some of those easy buckets. We need to get stronger and a little more forceful in putting those down."
Strength, of course, has not been UConn's strength this year. The decided lack of interior scoring and the rebounding issues are all the evidence one needs to come to that conclusion.
But the Huskies (15-6, 5-4 Big East) have usually found ways to mask those shortcomings. Often the masking has come from guards Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright. But Napier was suspended for a violation of team rules and sat out the first five minutes or so of Wednesday night's loss and then needed time to find his bearings.
Boatright failed to reach double figures in scoring for the first time since the Nov. 25 victory against Stony Brook. He has had particular trouble shooting of late. Boatright went through a long span where it seemed he couldn't miss, but in the last seven games he is shooting just 36 percent.
According to Ollie, Boatright is simply the most glaring evidence of a problem that has suddenly emerged.
"He needs to attack the basket a little more playing against zone (defense)," Ollie said. "It's not just him, it's the whole team. We all have to attack the basket more. The last two games, we combined for 55 3-point attempts. "We're coming up with new plays for the zone. It's about confidence. That's what it all comes down to."
Seton Hall's confidence might be sapped, to some ex-

tent. The Pirates (13-10, 2-8) played well Monday night before falling at Pittsburgh, but in the midst of the game leading scorer Fuquan Edwin went down with an ankle injury. He returned to the game briefly, but was ineffective afterward.
Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard said it is unlikely Edwin will play today. The Pirates might also be without backup forward Brian Oliver, who contributes eight points a game to the Pirates' cause.
The Pirates have lost eight of their last nine games, and in many of those they crumbled late in games. They have been mostly competitive, but have little to show for it. They have won just once in four Big East home games, having the same sort of struggle with South Florida as UConn did a week ago.
The major difference, it seems, between UConn and Seton Hall is that the Huskies have found ways to win and the Pirates have found ways to lose.
"It all comes down to a possession here and there," Ollie said. "They're 2-8 (in the Big East). We could be 2-8. We could have a better record than we do because it all comes down to possessions. They haven't been doing a good job in late possessions, but they're still a dangerous, dangerous team. I don't want them to start rolling on our watch."
When: Noon
Where: Prudential Center, Newark, N.J.
TV, Radio: SNY, WTIC-AM (1080)
Records: UConn 15-6, 5-4 Big East; Seton Hall 13-10, 2-8
Series: UConn leads 44-18 and has won 12 of the last 13 meetings.
Worth noting: Seton Hall has lost eight of its last nine games ... The Pirates will probably play without leading scorer Fuquan Edwin, who sustained an ankle injury in Monday night's loss at Pittsburgh ... UConn had a two-game winning streak broken at St. John's on Wednesday night ... The Huskies will play their next three games after today at home, all of them at the XL Center, against Syracuse, Villanova and Cincinnati ... UConn guard Ryan Boatright has run into a shooting slump, shooting just 36 percent in the last seven games. He had five points at St. John's, breaking a double-digit scoring streak of 14 games ... The Huskies are 2-3 in Big East road games this year ... UConn freshman Omar Calhoun is coming off a Big East career-high 21 points at St. John's ... Junior Niels Giffey had 10 rebounds against St. John's, just the second time this year a UConn player has recorded a double-figure rebound game.

we have been coming to Poipu Shores every March for the past 8 years...we will continue to come to this condo because it clearly has everything one could wish for!! Everything about our stay has been wonderful. And our relationship with the owner could not be better. All communication, questions, recommendations from the owner has been excellent. We are even extending our stay next year and in the future.

Wonderful Condo!
Wonderful Condo!
Hi Lynn, Just wanted to let you know that your condo was absolutely lovely! We had a fabulous time and didn't want to leave! The listing and photos perfectly reflected what we found when we arrived! Thanks for all of your helpful hints and for calling to check on us when we go there! To be able to see the breathtaking sunsets right from the lanai was fabulous! We also saw many whales frolicking as we relaxed in the living room or the lanai! The kitchen was well equipped for whatever we felt like making and the rest of the condo was well kept and nicely decorated. We would definitely recommend this condo to friends and family! The beach is just a short walk away, as were several restaurants. It was a very good location - close to shopping, the airport, Old Koloa Town (lots of nice shops and restaurants), and luaus!

Hi Lynn, Hope you are well! I know this is absurdly late, but have been meaning forever to write to thank you soo much for the use of your fantastic condo at Poipu. We absolutely loved it! We were so happy with the location, the place was beautiful, and we found the kitchen to be very well equipped and made some fantastic meals! The jeep rental went off without a hitch, and the entire vacation was just a dream. Thanks again, Terry

Poipu paradise!
Poipu paradise!
We recently stayed in this condo, from April 20-April 29 2013, and to say it was everything we expected it to be, would be an understatement. Looking at this pictures on this listing, they don't look real, but the pictures dont even do it justice. This condo location is the best in this complex. You are STEPS from the pool, which is never loud or obnoxious, but makes it convenient when you forget things and need to go back to your condo. I got hit with ocean spray while at the pool, that's how close you are to the water! I was a little unsure about not staying right on a beach, but you can walk to poipu beach in maybe 5 minutes. And the beach is gorgeous! There is a place to eat right across the street, which is also very convenient. Lynn was VERYhelpful! She answered my countless emails leading up to the trip, about things not even necessarily related to the condo, just about Kauai in general. What types of clothes I should pack, best places to eat on the island, etc. And she even called to check on us while we were there. She was extremely friendly and helpful! I would definetely recommend staying here for you visit to Kauai!

Perfect in every way
Perfect in every way
My wife and I and another couple found this beautiful slice of heaven on the internet and contacted the owner.........she was amazing to work with. She was extremely helpful and took a great deal of time with us. We had high expectations prior to our arrival, but the place exceeded those expections in every way. It was spotless and very well appointed with everything we needed. The view is stunning with the pool just steps away from our new home for the next few days. We watched huge turtlles swimming in the ocean from the pool deck. The condo is perfectly located on the "sunny" side of the island, the weather was perfect during out stay (yet there was rain on other parts of the island). Unlimited things to do within a very short distance, but we found ourselves not wanting to leave our "new home". I would rate the facilities, the owners and our overall experience a 10 star if it were available. Thank you for an amazing vacation!!!

Couldn't have found a nicer location or property ... beautiful views and wonderfully kept (clean, maintained, up-to-date). Walk out the door to see the ocean, flora and wildlife ... enjoy views from the pool. Close to restaurants, stores and shops and yet in a quiet neighborhood with private beaches. Fantastic exploring in every direction from the coast to the mountains to the botanical gardens. Owners knowledge of the island and it's many attractions was very helpful in planning a great stay. Best activities: sailing, hiking, fresh seafood, R&R.

Best Location!
Best Location!
Our party of four were more than comfortable in the amazing unit. Lynn was the best! She constantly replied back to every email. I never once had a concern go unanswered. We traveled all over the beautiful, breathtaking island and found the best snorkeling for calm waters, beautiful fish (including the gorgeous humuhumunukunukuapua'a), sea turtles and resting Monk Seals was just a couple minute walk at Poi'pu Beach. The condo sits at the edge of the raging Pacific waves, a billion times better than if on the beach. It's private, relaxed location is top notch. The constant breeze from the coast made us so comfortable, we didn't use the AC not even once. The pounding of the waves provides the best sleep ever! We also loved the privacy inside. The condo has pocket doors and they are placed so conveniently in the bathrooms to allow lots of room to shower and dress without being crammed and steamed to death in a typical bathroom space. The kitchen is huge and we ate as if we were in our home; even grilled out on the grills. I simply can't say enough great things about the perfect location, roomy home, and breathtaking sunsets. The Island of Kauai is an unbelievable dream. We have been all over the world and the USA and this island will certainly take your breath away. It's better than you've been told. Oh, and I would totally recommend renting your snorkling gear from Lynn's link (vacation rentals). The quality is top notch and it saves you the hassle of bringing yours...we did and our friend's U.S. Divers rental equipment was even better than ours. And Lynn's unit has a cooler (which we used a lot) and three beach chairs. The first beach you come to, on the short walk from the unit, is like a huge wave pool. After that is the calmer beach for the awesome snorkeling. There is a deli across the street from the beach and they have delicious and huge salads with hard boiled eggs, huge yummy freshly baked brownies and the must have Shave Ice. In closing the unit is clean with starter sets of detergent and no need to even pack shampoo and soap. Plenty of towels (including beach towels) are also provided. I highly recommend this unit! Princeville Ranch Adventures Zipline (super fun), Wiamea Canyon (breathtaking), Kalalau Hiking Trail and Hanakapi'ai Falls (incredible), Smith's Family Luau (awesome), PoPo's Cookies in Kapa'a (the best ever), The Flea Market in Kapa'a and Hawaiian Trading Post had best prices. Everywhere we ate was incredible.

Location, location, location...
Location, location, location...
We had a wonderful week at the Poipu Shores unit with our German friends, and this particular condo is ideally located in the warm sunny Poipu area of Kauai. Literally 10 steps from the pool, it was especially convenient and nice to be on the ground floor, to be able to enjoy the lawn right off our lanai. The rocky lava bay by the pool was favored by the green sea turtles and we were fascinated watching them cavort in the big crashing waves, never seeming to mind the surf. It was also nice to be able to walk to several beautiful beaches nearby, which we did daily. Brenneke's Beach was great for sunning, swimming and the snorkeling wasn't too bad there either. The Hawaiian monk seals would often come onto the sandy beaches to rest and digest after their night's hunting and feeding, volunteers would rope off the beach so the seals could rest undisturbed. We found the condo suited our needs well, we had our fifth guest sleep on the inflatable bed, which worked out fine. We did our share of BBQ ing and found the kitchen to be well supplied with cooking needs. We also appreciated the use of the washer and dryer, which came in handy. Lovely golf courses located nearby, kayak adventures in Kauai's rivers, snorkeling, Waimea Canyon,(Hawaii's Grand Canyon), swimming and just enjoying the 83 degree sunshine...what's not to love in Kauai? It is so beautiful and scenic there. I rather regret not taking in a helicopter ride to get the full effect of the spectacular NaPali coast...hopefully next time. My advice, pay the $$$ and go! We found several outstanding restaurants in the area, Lynn provides a good list. Had some wonderful fish tacos at Merriman's Downstairs Cafe, casual downstairs, fine dining upstairs. For a special treat, make reservations at The Beach House Restaurant. Fresh fish prepared beautifully. Outstanding! This property may not be the newest around, but we settled in and appreciated the great location, the sound of the surf and the views from our unit. I had to stop myself from taking sunset photo after sunset photo...The unit itself has nice marble bathrooms and a lovely kitchen. It was a treat to be there, and we appreciated Lynn's availability to help with any questions that came up. She was 'johnny on the spot!' Thank you Lynn! We would recommend this condo to anyone wishing to enjoy sunny Poipu, Kauai. Two couples would be ideal, but it worked out fine with five....

Owner info
About the owner: We vacationed on Kauai for many years before purchasing our condo. It took a few years before the perfect location became available. We are fortunate to own the best located condo on the island, in our opinion. Managing and renting the condo is nearly a full time job for me. I enjoy getting to know our guests by phone and email contacts. I have developed many great relationships with guests. We have a long list of guests that return each year. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of the island and am eager to provide any info I can. With a blackberry I am always available by phone or email.

6223 Delmar Blvd, Saint Louis, MO | Directions 6313038.655676 -90.301982
Mon, 11:30am - 10pm; Tue, closed; Wed - Sun, 11:30am - 10pm
Neighborhoods: West End, Saint Louis
Bad Experience – First I don't understand why they added the tips into our bill as we only have 5+1baby of family members. They added 19% of tips into my bill. If you pay by credit card be careful don't pay twice, as when they will not print it as tips but as total charges and leave the tips blank. I don't think I will visit again.
My FAVORITE – Wow, I don't know what happened to the last two people, but I've been going to this place for a about 2 years now and LOVE it...the waiters we get are always pretty helpful, and the food is fantastic. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
Bad Service – I felt like I was being harassed by the waiter when he talked to me. He was very disrespectful, he even pointed at my face when he tried to talk to me. When I tried to talk to the manager, the waiter simply told me that the manager was not present. I will never return to this restaurant and neither will my friends.
Worst Service EVER – A friend and I decided to try this restaurant last week and it was one of the worst decisions we have ever made. The waiter that served us was not very friendly, we definitely did not feel welcomed. He was rude and had near to none conversational skills. Whenever I asked for anything (eg. refill my drink), he made it seem like it was the biggest hassel and took nearly forever. He actually confronted us outside the restaurant when he saw that we left him a small tip, I have never felt more embarrassed in my life. If you ever feel like being treated like garbage and then eating some average thai food, then this is your restaurant.
Still my favorite – Having lived in 3 states since graduating from Wash U, I still haven't found another Thai restaurant that comes close to Thai Country cafe. You can't beat the great prices and flavorful food. This place serves simple, well made Thai dishes that remind me of what I got in Thailand. Yum!
Delicious – I too frequented this splendid restuarant weekly as a WashU student and although I have traveled far and wide since I have yet to encounter more delicious Thai food. The Tom Yum soup is by far the best I have ever tested, a perfect mix of spicy and sour. The flavors in the pnang are layered deeply and intriguing. I recommend to one and all.
Yep, this is the one with the wagon wheels. – The Scene
Rural Thailand meets the great American West at this restaurant in the Delmar Loop. The two wagon wheels in the middle of the dining room are unquestionably weird, but they do add a certain kitsch value to the place. And college kids love kitsch. And cheap food. And pierced waiters. Yeah, this place is "in" among the undergrad crowd.
The Food
Portions are large, and prices are low, which also explains Thai Country Cafe's popularity with students. There's only one item on the menu over $7. Offerings are pretty basic--noodle soups, rice dishes, pad thai, etc.--and the flavors aren't as nuanced as one might like, but everything is at least competent, and the salads are actually quite good. Yum woon sen blends glass noodles with lots of plump shrimp for a hearty meal in itself. Don't miss the Thai iced coffee either: it's particularly good.
Deserves an Award – When I was a WashU student, Thai Country Cafe was a staple of my diet. My best friend and I ate here every week for two years; We strongly recommend the spring rolls, panag curry, and Pad Thai.
In fact, Thai Country Cafe was so important to us, not just because of the food but because of the atmosphere and the familiar faces, that we awarded the restaurant for four years of culinary excellence. Our award is still on the wall -- check it out on your next visit !
Dinner for everyone – The atmosphere is casual and fun, so go here for a date or with friends or family. The decor is that of a high quality restaurant but you don't have to pay the high prices that usually go along with that. I would recommend getting the fried tofu as an appetizer because it comes with a delicious sweet and sour sauce. The pad thai is also very good, and the fried chicken soup is a really nice American-style Thai dish that might especially appeal to the less adventurous.

I let her use my cellphone for fun, and while that was before all the "Apps" they have out now for kids...there were still some 'games' on my phone that she loved to play with. Mama's cell phone was simply the best "interactive Toy" in the house!
One day while I was making lunch, I heard the sounds of a 'strange' woman's voice, echoing through our house. I immediately dropped my kitchen utensils and ran toward the living room.
"Alli?...where are you!" I hollered. I felt my blood-pressure literally rise, and my heart began to race. 'Oh my God! Did I forget to deadbolt the front door?...Oh God, I wonder if she let someone in the house?!'...I thought as I scrambled from room to room looking for my little one.
"Alli! Seriously Honey...where are you? Mommy's getting scared now! Please say something Honey!" I yelled.
"mmmhmmm....Okay...is there someone there?" I heard the 'woman's' voice say. As it echoed through the house I couldn't quite make out which direction it was coming from. I ran to my daughter's bedroom. Threw open the door! She wasn't there.
I ran to our son's room. We have twin boys who share a room, one of them is also Autistic. The room was empty. The boys were at school. Still the voice sounded as though it was moving through the house! As I moved, the 'woman' moved. I couldn't make out what she was saying. But suddenly I heard my daughter talking back to her. Alli still spoke mostly gibberish...but could say some nouns and verbs appropriately.
"blekkdiish?" I heard Alli say. "Dear. Can you get your mommy?" I heard the woman clearly say. "Mama is lunch" Alli responded with a giggle. "Did your Mommy leave you alone Dear?" The woman responded.
"ALLISON!" I screamed, frantic now and running back and forth from room to room.
I could clearly tell that Allison and "whoever this woman was" were switching from room to room as fast as I was trying to catch up with them.
"Heehheeehaaa...Mamas phone." Allison giggled in a very muffled sound. "Do you know where you are Dear?" the woman asked. "Is there any grown ups there?...Do you feel scared?" she kept asking.
"Oh my God Allison! Where are you! HONEY Please!!" I yelled....
"Dear, I can see where you are now, are you still there?" she asked and Allison giggled again.
As I grabed the edge of the doorway into the master bedroom and pulled myself around the doorframe into my room, I could see Allison sitting there, burried under the comforter on my bed. She giggled and I quickly noticed the light from my cellphone blaring out from beneathe the heavy covers. I was panting! I yanked the blankets off the bed and unveiled my little girl sitting beneath them, a smirk on her face and the phone, lit up as if she was "talking" to someone.
I grabbed the phone. "Allison, what the heck?" I said. "Hello?!" I heard the woman ask, loudly! "This is 911 Emergency, is this an adult?!" She asked out of the speaker portion of the phone. 'The phone is on Speaker!' I thought 'Oh my God! she called 911!'
"Yes Ma'am." I said. "I'm sorry! The girl who called you is my daughter, she has Autism! I'm so sorry. I was in making lunch and I then when I heard a woman's voice, she must have dialed without my knowing....oh my gosh I'm sorry. I didn't even know she knew how to dial the phone. I don't even know how to use the speaker part of this phone yet?" I panted. Out of breath from my marathon run!
"Ma'am, that's okay. Calm down. It's okay. I just need to make sure, there's no emergency there right?" she asked kindly. "No....I'm so sorry." I continued. "I was frantic. I thought, cuz it was on speaker, she'd let someone into the house...Oh my God that was scary!"
"That's okay." she asked me to verify my name and address and made sure everything was alright. Amused, she said "Your daughter is a very smart little girl. She's got a very sweet little voice. Don't worry Meredith. Try to calm down."
After we'd hung up, Allison and I ate our lunch. Later she showed me how to use the 'Speaker phone' on my phone.

Call it citizen cinema.
The fledgling Film Academy of Telluride is the brainchild of local filmmakers Ernest Eich and James Kleinert. The two created the nonprofit school after noticing that although Telluride has a strong film culture and a number of accomplished filmmakers, there is little opportunity for those interested in making their own films to learn how – a situation that leaves some too daunted to try.
"Film doesn't have to be done at the highest levels of Hollywood to be good, anybody can make a movie," said Eich, adding that digital technology has revolutionized filmmaking by dramatically reducing its cost.
"[Digital technology] makes it accessible to people for the first time."
True to the grassroots nature of their project, Eich and Kleinert have converted the sizeable living room of an apartment above main street into a production studio and screening room. The space is made complete by a donated high definition projection system, the odd smattering of upholstered furniture and a number of folding metal chairs. As the school gets up and running they plan to hold classes there and to regularly conduct screenings of community film.
The two had very different paths into filmmaking. Eich's interest began as a teenager in North Carolina where his Boy Scout troop counted filming horror movie take-offs among their merit activities.
An Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Kleinert's route began when the World Cup freestyle skier had two complete joint replacements. Although they sidelined his career, they afforded him the opportunity to film and produce a work about the lives of World Cup and Olympic freestyle skiers called Living It. The film won him Best New Filmmaker of the Year at the 1994 International Ski Film Festival.
Seeking to provide exposure for local and independent filmmakers, and to inspire others with how much can be achieved on a small scale, Eich and Kleinert have founded the Second Stage Film Festival, which will be held twice a year at the same time as MountainFilm and the Telluride Film Festival.
The inaugural festival will run from May 21 - 26 and will showcase a variety of films by Eich, Kleinert and other filmmakers. Themes will range from capturing the unique mountain culture of Telluride and celebrating its homegrown adventurers, to others that tell poignant, sometimes inspirational and sometimes heart wrenching, stories that confront difficult social and political issues.
Kleinert's Carve documents historic ski mountaineering descents of the West Face of Little Wasatch Peak accomplished during Telluride's record-breaking 2008 season. Shot in high definition, the film features top, local mountaineers, extreme skiers and snowboarders, and focuses on the heart and soul of ski mountaineering.
Local actor/writer Tom Shane's short film Unplugged offers a humorous, if slightly cynical commentary on life in the modern age.
Community theater is reborn in the film presentation of Celebritology! and long-haired locals lose their ponytails to benefit a wig-making program for children with medically-related hair loss in Lots of Locks.
An environmental program begins with Eich's This is NOT a Guinness World Record, which chronicles a record-setting hydrogen-fueled drive to Imogene Pass that is not recognized by the Guinness organization.
Beaver Bond by Michael Saftler with Martin Thomas takes us along on a bonding journey with the residents of the Beaver Pond.
Kleinert, who is of Seneca American Indian descent, rediscovered his heritage while recovering from a major injury he sustained in 1996 while working as a Screen Actors Guild actor and stuntman. He began attending traditional American Indian ceremonies and experienced healing and spiritual insight there. As a result he began documenting contemporary American Indian life as demonstrated in his body of work about the people and their reverence for the horse.
Spirit Riders is an award-winning documentary about the birth and subsequent growth of an American Indian peace movement begun by the Lakota Nation in 1990. It leads the audience on a profound journey inside a culture and a movement offering ancient traditional visions of peace to a troubled modern world.
Filmed in San Miguel County, Saving The American Wild Horse is a poignant documentary that examines the politics behind the Bureau of Land Management's controversial policies regarding wild horses on public lands and questions the fate of America's wild horses and burros.
A seven-minute trailer to a feature film being shot in 2009, Flying Horse is the story of Shane Smith, a young Lakota Man and world-class snowboarder. It uses big mountain snowboarding to tell the story of an American Indian youth caught between traditional life and tribal politics and the pop culture of professional snowboarding.
"Horse Medicine shares stories from people whose lives have been transformed by their mysterious and profound relationships with horses. Shot in high definition on Wilson Mesa and in the Four Corners region, it features local horsemen including Melissa Margetts, David Glynn and Robyn Willis and other Telluride locals.
The Second Stage Film Festival takes place May 21 - 26 at the Film Academy of Telluride located at 131 West Colorado Avenue. Ticket prices and approximate show times are: $5 for 12:30, 3 and 5 p.m. screenings and $10 for 7:45 and 9:30 p.m. screenings. Passes for three early and one late screening are $20 and a special screening of Celebritology! will run on Sunday at 10:45 a.m. Final schedule is pending and will be posted at the Film Academy.

Call it a sign of the wealthy in America being a little more cautious. Or call it a case where high-end car buyers are trading down so they don't spend as much for luxury cars and SUVs. Whatever you call it, it is clear sales of new models costing more than $75,000 have slowed down.
J.D. Power's Power Information Network has tracked sales for the first half of this year and broke them down based on the transaction prices. In other words, what did customers actually pay before they drove off the lot.
According to J.D. power, here's the data:
Under $25,000 (up) 8.3%
$25,000-$49,999 (up) 14.5%
$50,000-$74,999 (up) 19.1%
Above $75,000 (down) 3.7%
Industry: (up) 11.5%
Wealthier Customers Trading Down
After getting the data, I called a number of dealers around the country to get a sense of why sales of higher-end luxury vehicles have slowed.
Dealers say their customers are still buying luxury cars and SUVs, but instead of paying $75,000 or $85,000 for a particular model, they are moving down and buying a similar model but for $10,000 or $20,000 less.
For example, look at sales of the Audi A8, A8L and S8 Quattro. In the first half of this year, sales of those cars are down 11.8 percent according to Autodata. By comparison, Audi sales overall are up 15 percent, outpacing the industry.
Another example is the Mercedes E Class. So far this year, retail sales of the E Class are down 5.7 percent while sales of all Mercedes brand models are up 16.8 percent, again growing faster than industry sales.
Finally, there's the Lexus LS 460. According to Autodata, LS 460 sales this year are down 28.9 percent , but Lexus sales overall are up 21.3 percent.
Why are customers trading down? Some of it is because of the economy and even wealthier car buyers are more cautious. So instead of spending $80,000 they are more likely to spend $50,000 or $60,000. And given the technology and styling put into many of the refreshed "mid-level" luxury models customers don't feel like they are trading down.
For example, compare the BMW 5 series ($47,795) and BMW 7 Series ($71,895). Clearly, with the 7 Series, BMW buyers are getting a slightly larger sedan. An updated version of the car is rolling into showrooms this summer, but to quote one dealer, "The 5 series is so nice it made it very easy for the returning 7 series customer to downsize without a lot of compromise."
That ultimately may be what the slowdown in luxury cars over $75,000 is all about.

Opensuse 10.3 Beta 1 Completed
The Opensuse project has just released the first beta version of the new 10.3 distribution.
One click installation technology is just one important new feature says the development team. One click install is an easy-to-use tool that installs programs at the press of a button. It is included with the reworked Opensuse Build Service.
The team has also updated applications and components, and includes KDE 3.5.7, Gnome 2.19.6, Open Office 2.3 Beta, Firefox 184.108.40.206, Cups 1.2.12, Gimp 2.3.19 (unstable) and the Compiz 0.5.2 3D window manager. Just like in the Alpha 7, the Beta uses kernel 22.214.171.124. To give users a foretaste of KDE version 4.0 some components of the next release are included, KDE games for example.
Opensuse 10.3 Beta1 welcomes users and includes a whole bunch of new features.
Opensuse 10.3 will boot faster than its predecessors. Tests with statistics are available online. The Libzypp package management library replaces the Zenworks Management Daemon (ZMD) used previously. Libzypp has improved program dependency resolution and supports faster handling of package downloads. To allow this to happen, standardized aliases are used for repositories. ZMD is still available for Suse Enterprise products.
Opensuse 10.3 Alpha 4 introduced the Instlux installer, which supports the installation of Opensuse from within a Windows session.
Opensuse has also reorganized download versions. The KDE and Gnome desktop versions are now available on separated CDs, removing the need for users to download files they do not need. An Opensuse Beta 1 download is available for various architectures such as i386 and x86-64. The DVD variant is only available via Bittorrent. An upgrade package from the Alpha 7 to the Beta 1 is also available. The final version of Opensuse 10.3 is due for release in October 2007.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Deirdre Fleming email@example.com
Staff Writer
The state's largest annual ice-fishing derby on Sebago Lake has been called off four times in the past 12 years because of unsafe ice, and organizers are considering whether to cancel it permanently.
An ice fisherman on Kennebunk Pond in Lyman on Wednesday makes his way to his ice-fishing shack, which was located about 100 yards from open water near the public boat launch.

The ice on Sebago Lake was thick enough to support an ice-fishing derby in 2010, when Paul Willette of Cape Elizabeth caught an 11-pound, 9-ounce togue, or lake trout.
2010 Staff File Photo/Derek Davis
The Windham Rotary Club, which hosts the event, will determine at the end of May whether to stop holding the derby, said derby director Steve McFarland.
The Sebago Lake derby has drawn as many as 5,000 anglers to sample the lake's famous togue fishery and is an economic boost to the region, but one in three cancellations over 12 years are not great odds when holding an event that takes eight months to plan.
An apparent warming trend in recent years in southern Maine is having its impact on many outdoor winter sports that rely on cold temperatures, including ice fishing. This winter has seen unsafe ice on Ossipee Pond in Waterboro, Kennebunk Pond in Lyman and Crystal Lake in Gray, as well as Sebago Lake.
But long-term winter-temperature trends are difficult to analyze. The recent experience of derby organizers is a prime example.
"It's been a tough three to four years, but because it's such a positive event for the community, we're not ready to throw in the towel just yet," McFarland said. "We need to look at our business model. There are a lot of factors. If it's a good year, the derby does amazing things for the local economy and for charities. And I think from a club's perspective, it's hard to walk away from that."
Sebago Lake and its famous togue fishery are certainly a draw to ice-fishing fans.
Jeff Webber of Windham fishes the derby every chance he can. Not holding the Sebago derby would be a loss to the region, he said.
"I think it brings a lot to the region, and it gets rid of a lot of togue (which compete with landlocked salmon in the lake). It just gets a lot more people out there. It's like a big get-together," Webber said.
At Jordan's Store on the west side of the lake, Carrol Cutting, the 84-year-old owner, was saddened to hear the derby might end. The excitement, not to mention the business, that the derby brings to lake communities is unparalleled, Cutting said. And there also is the mystique and lure of a big lake trout, he added.
"It's strange to see fish like cusk and pickerel in a Maine derby. Sebago (and its togue population) is an important fishery in the state of Maine, and it's close to a populated area. People from outside the state came for the derby, too. I hope they have it one more year, just to see, take a chance that maybe the weather will be such the entire lake will freeze next winter," said Cutting, who's owned the store for 54 years.
But predicting winter is a hard task for meteorologists, let alone derby organizers.
Consider that this year already ranks as one of the snowiest winters in Portland on a list that dates back to 1881, the first year snowfall records were kept by the National Weather Service.
But in southern Maine, temperatures have been warmer than the 30-year average -- 25.6 degrees Fahrenheit -- for the meteorological winter (December through February) two of the past three years and five of the past seven.
But only half the winters in the past 10 have seen average temperatures exceed the 30-year average. So knowing whether the recent warm trend will continue is difficult, said weather service meteorologist Mike Kistner in Gray.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — A 58-year-old homeless man who kidnapped a Rathdrum woman in northern Idaho has been sentenced to life in prison.
Fairy tales may seem fun and whimsical and sweet now, but the histories of most of them are dark and truly terrifying. Perhaps you are familiar with Hans Christian Andersen, who penned the original 'Little Mermaid' fairy tale, one that ended, well, it just ended very differently than the Disney version. But Andersen wasn't the only author who used his fairy tales to freak kids out. Over in Germany, Heinrich Hoffmann did the same thing with his 'Der Struwwelpeter,' and guess who grew up reading it?
We're still a month and a half away from the return of Netflix's hit prison show 'Orange Is the New Black.'
A Naughty Dog representative has given the latest details about The Last of Us: Remastered and hinted that a potential discount for owners of the original, PlayStation 3 version of the game could be possible.
According to a report released by World Bank, more than 630 million people in India poop in the streets regularly.

The Ford Mustang is turning 50 years old this year, and in celebration of the great American muscle car, Jimmy Kimmel and his 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' minions (including Guillermo, of course) put together a special little commercial for the vehicle. And it's so, so disturbing.
I'm not sure what these kids are doing at prom but according to this figures this year, it'll cost an average of $1,139 per kid to go to prom.

1200 Fau Research Park Blvd, Deerfield Beach, FL | Directions 3344126.302874 -80.117170
The location leaves something to be desired, but overall I was okay with the stay. I'll probably choose another hotel next time I'm in Deerfield Beach.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Spacious studio suites cater to corporate travelers with separate kitchen, dining and sleeping areas plus workspace with data ports and voicemail.
The unsafest hotel – My boyfriend and I just came back from staying there and we will never go back. Our second night there my boyfrend was watching tv and I was taking a shower. I get out and my boyfriend tells me the tv quit working and that he called the front desk. The room smelled badly of burnt wire so we decided to go to the front desk. We open our door and smoke covered the hallway. When we got to the desk, the woman behind the counter was already on the phone with the fire department. To make a long story short, the fire department had us moved to another room. We get to our new room and went to check the smoke detector nor were smoke alarms which concerned the fire department since it didn't go off. It wasn't connected. None of them are connected; if they were they would have gone off. This incident has happened before according to the lady behind the counter and it's not a safe place to go. The only positive experience I got from all this was that the people behind the couinter were nice.

Source Naturals - Leaders of the Wellness Revolution
Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple, Mega-Kid Multiple, Inflama-Rest, the Skin Eternal line, Higher Mind, Essential Enzymes, Male Response, and more.
Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, they evaluate the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provide targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Their line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms.
Source Naturals nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for Wellness is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

In theory it patches all signatures checks, so it should be ok for CMDA hacks too. But I do not have a CDMA phone or service (no local CDMA carriers), so no way to test or be sure (I do not even know how the CDMA setup is done).
If you are in a hurry and knows your way around, patch it and do not forget to use "ldid -s" and "chmod +x" (755).
I will soon make a Cydia package with both patches.

I would definitely draft Allen and Bailey 1 and 2 respectively....

2. ILB: Chris Borland, Wisconsin
3. TE: C.J. Fiedorowicz, Iowa
4. DT: Daniel McCullers, Tenn
5. FS: Kenny Ladler, Vanderbilt
6. QB: Connor Shaw, South Carolina
7. RB: Isaiah Crowell, RB, Alabama State
i think that mock is back is a bit.. unrealistic. stedman bailey can be had in the 3rd round and there is no way zach ertz is falling to the third round. Dallas thomas is also going up on draft boards, he may end up going late first to early second. but it is still a possibility that he could fall to us for our second pick of the second round
I didnt think bailey would go in the 2nd either, but every guy does a mock and nobody really knows... I have guys in spots that ppl disagree with as well.
We have so many holes we need to go best player available.
All hinges on February´s FA success, hope we reinforce the secondary and the O-line, so we can get cute with skill positions at last!!
