Reading Toronto To RebuildReading Toronto launched on March 30th, 2005. Its objective—to give the city's exceptional creative producers an online forum, one they could use to describe Toronto in new, revealing ways. On the "about" page we wrote:
Reading Toronto looks at the city through the eyes of many of its most creative artists and arts institutions. The growing ubiquity of high-speed Internet connections allows visitors from around the globe to experience the city in ways never before possible. More than that, they can contribute their own stories, experiences, and ideas about Toronto. As descriptions of the city accumulate, we expect that new ways of reading Toronto will emerge.
The effort was worth it. RT offered Toronto-related stories from brilliant contributors like Gary Michael Dault, Amy Lavender Harris, Piers Handling, Margaret Atwood, Anne Michaels, Cory Doctorow, Alexander Pilis, Bernie Miller, Jeanne Randolph, Ian Chodikoff, Jeremy Keehn, Johnson Chou, Lloyd Alter, Mark Kingwell, Matthew Teitelbaum, Michael Anton Dila, Paul Raff, Steve Mann, Vera Frenkel, and many, many more. Their contributions alone make this site a worthy project.
But Reading Toronto is a more than an online compilation of stories about Toronto, it's an experiment too. Why? 21st Century cities are by extension if not by full practice digital cities. The people whose job it is to shape those cities are in subtle, ongoing collaboration with the people who use them. That collaboration can be improved by increasing the information feedback between city users and city designers. If we look under the hood, that's the relationship we were experimenting with here. Ultimately, the technology—or our mastery of it—never reached as far as we hoped. We did, however, have some notable successes. The spirit of collaboration and information feedback reached impressive levels when RT brought together hundreds of people who wanted to make the T.T.C.'s website better. We were the catalyst, but the city's user groups, if I can appropriate that term from the software world, were the engine behind the change. The episode in RT's history is a case study on how user-generated content can improve a city's infrastructure.
Over the past three years other online blogging voices have made themselves heard as well. Spacing.ca, blogto.com, and torontoist.com are among the preferred sources of information on Toronto's events, culture, design, and politics. We've promoted them on our home page almost from the start because their work is so good, representing the best blogging content around.
With the city's online reporting in such good hands, Reading Toronto is taking some time off to work on a new experiment. We think it will be a next-generation social amenity for city dwellers. Stay tuned.

Toronto's Smog-Related Deaths
The head of Ontario's opposition, Bob Runciman, released a report this week making some startling claims. When Premier Dalton McGuinty took office he promised that Ontario's reliance on coal generated power would end by 2007. One year later and it turns out not only are we still using coal, but as many as 9,500 Ontarians die each year from smog-related illnesses. If that figure were going down rather than up, we'd think that changes were being made for the better. In fact, smog-related deaths have gone up from 1,900 per year in 2003. "There are now more smog days per year in Ontario than in the entire eight years before the 2003," claims a report released by the Ontario Conservative Party (you know you've gone into some perverse alternate universe when the Ontario Torys are trying to lead the fight against pollution here).
To add insult to injury, Torontonians now have their very own power plant on the waterfront—something considered unimaginable ten years ago but now an almost belching fact. What is going on? Has anyone vetted these figures? Is there truth in what the Conservatives are claiming?
With a more positive spin to the story, http://www.modeshift.org writes:
Though Premier McGuinty succeeded in 2005 in closing the Lakeview coal-fired plant in Mississauga – and demolishing it with explosives on June 28, 2007 — he missed the 2007 deadline for the other four. Last month, as another electrion approached, he announced in Toronto that wouldn't happen again. His government just approved a regulation that requires all of the province's coal-powered generating stations to close by 2014. "There is only one place in the world that is phasing out coal-fired generation and we're doing that right here in Ontario," he said.

Absurd Green Architecture In Dubai
Building in Dubai will always challenge the idea of sustainability because of the extreme temperatures and lack of water in the region. In spite of that reality, capital generated by $139 a barrel oil is making it possible for architects to try radically new, untested technologies in designs that attempt to generate more energy than they consume and in doing so achieve something that could be called sustainability.
So it is with Italian architect David Fisher's design for the green environmental tower in Dubai. Named the "Dynamic Architecture" building, the sixty storey tower is also a power source. Forty-eight 0.3 megawatt turbines are contained within its rotating floors. Fisher writes, "Considering that Dubai gets 4,000 wind hours annually, the turbines incorporated into the building can generate 1,200,000 kilowatt-hour of energy."
The architect describes three technologies that the project relies on for its success. First is the ability for architecture to be dynamic, to constantly change its form. Second, is the integration of power-generating technologies that let the building generate more power than its inhabitants consume. Third, is the factory-based construction that will reduce the number of site workers, speed construction time, and improve the final finish quality.
Take a look at this rather pretentious video for an explanation of the tower. What's my take on it? Before I was an architect I followed a Buckminster Fuller inspired career path working in aircraft manufacturing for the de Havilland Aircraft Company. I've seen the technologies required to make this work from both sides of the technology spectrum, and odds are that this building will fail to meet its objectives. That does not mean it is an unworthy experiment. Inventing new ways of sustainable living will not be easy or cheap; however, we have little choice but to try and if it takes $139 oil to get us there so be it.

Can We Have A Drum Roll Please: The TTC's Website Preview
We've waited a year and a half. Patiently. Today, however, Toronto's much under-serviced population will get a glimpse of how the T.T.C. will provide a better transit website. The T.T.C. (in the guise of councillor Adam Giambrone) is calling the press down to City Hall to unveil the Beta version of ttc.ca. Will the people-powered movement kicked off on Readingtoronto.com January 1, 2007 and voraciously taken up by readers of http://www.BlogTO.com, http://www.Spacing.ca, and the http://www.Torontoist.com make a difference?
Will the contributions of everyone who attended TransitCamp be wasted? Will the T.T.C. and its web developer have taken the easy way rather than the better way? I can't make the event—one days notice—so I'll be anxious to read the reports from bloggers and the media who can.
What would a great site look like? There is no one model, but there are good references. A great site would have clear, easy to understand information on routes, timetables, delays, special events, and a whole host of other information in real time. It would be mobile friendly. Waiting for those often late streetcars on Broadview would no longer require calls to the 1-800-clairvoyant line for hints on when to expect the next one.
Can we have a drum roll please?

Mental health counselors—often social workers or marriage and
family therapists—provide counseling services for individuals, couples,
families, teens, and children.
Mental health counselors must earn a master's degree in counseling
or a closely related mental health field and complete a certain amount of
clinical work after earning their degree.
Most mental health counselors are licensed by the states in which
they practice and have passed a state-developed or national licensure or
certification exam.

Resources RSS
What is RSS?
Rich Site Summary (RSS) or Really Simple Syndication is a technology used to distribute a website's content to users in real time. Currently, FERC uses RSS to share its most important web content with other websites.
Benefits of RSS
- It's an easy way to gather a wide variety of content in one place on your computer;
- Information is delivered to your news aggregator or feed reader, freeing you from having to visit a website multiple times a day to find content;
- View headlines and summaries before linking to the full article; and
- Many RSS readers will alert you when new content is delivered.
How do I subscribe to FERC's RSS news feed?
If you have never used RSS, you'll need a news aggregator, RSS feed reader, or Microsoft Outlook 2010 (a lot of email applications now have the ability to incorporate RSS feeds) to be able to subscribe to FERC's news feeds. To subscribe to our news feed, select one and follow their directions.
If you already have a RSS feed reader, just copy one of our RSS news feed code from above into your application.
Is FERC's RSS feed different from eSubscription?
Yes it is. Our RSS feed will only give you the most important content of our website that falls under "What's New at FERC" or "Market Assessment". In addition, you are not required to provide an email address or other personal information to benefit from news feeds. eSubscription is ideal for tracking all correspondence for specific dockets and projects pending at FERC. eSubscription does require that users electronically register with a valid email address.

New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan was wedged between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Thursday evening at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner, calling his seat "the iciest place on the planet."
And while the two presidential candidates traded sharp barbs on the dais, in private, Dolan revealed, they demonstrated a kindness toward each other rarely seen in public.
In an exclusive interview with the "Today" show Thursday, Dolan described a touching moment after he asked Clinton and Trump to pray with him.
U.S. & World
"After the little prayer, Mr. Trump turned to Secretary Clinton and said, 'You are one tough and talented woman,'" Dolan said.
Clinton responded, "Donald, whatever happens, we need to work together afterwards."
Though the two candidates "are kind of awkward together," Dolan noted "the purpose of the evening is to break some of the ice, and thanks be to God, it works."
The annual white-tie gala in Manhattan, often the last time the two presidential nominees share a stage before Election Day, is traditionally a time when campaign hostilities are set aside.
It wasn't this year.
Trump and Clinton offered tough takedowns of one another, with many in the well-heeled crowd turning on the Republican nominee midway through his remarks and showering him with jeers.
Trump, who had drawn big laughs earlier in the speech, appeared to lose the room as he repeatedly dug in with caustic swipes at Clinton, drawing rare boos at a charity event meant to raise money for impoverished children throughout New York.
He appeared to straddle the line when he talked about how "listening to Hillary rattle on and rattle on" has made him better appreciate his longtime nemesis Rosie O'Donnell. But he then seemed to cross it when he referred to her as "corrupt" during a lengthy riff on the FBI's investigation into her use of a private email server as secretary of state.
"Hillary is so corrupt she got kicked off the Watergate Commission. How corrupt do you have to be to get kicked off the Watergate Commission? Pretty corrupt," he said to loud boos and at least one call demanding he get off the stage.
He then almost appeared to segue into the standard attack lines of his rally speeches, setting aside jokes to bring up material contained in hacked Clinton campaign emails.
"Hillary believes that it's vital to deceive the people by having one public policy and a totally different policy in private," he said to growing jeers. "Here she is tonight, in public, pretending not to hate Catholics."
Clinton also veered into personal digs, making one joke in which she said the Statue of Liberty, for most Americans, represents a symbol of hope for immigrants.
"Donald looks at the Statue of Liberty and sees a '4,'" Clinton joked. "Maybe a '5' if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair."
Trump and Clinton sat one seat apart for the evening, with New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan acting as the only buffer. And when they entered and took their seats, they did not greet each other or make eye contact, though they did shake hands at the conclusion of the roast.
Most eyes were on Trump, who infamously glowered through Obama's jokes at his expense during the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner and is not known for being self-deprecating.
Some of his jokes landed well, drawing laughs from both the crowd and Clinton.
His biggest laughs came as he talked about Michelle Obama getting rave reviews for a recent speech. "They think she's absolutely great. My wife Melania gives the exact same speech, and people get on her case," he said to whoops and laughs.
And some of his attack lines flashed a sense of humor that has been mostly absent from the grueling campaign. Clinton was the first one to laugh when Trump joked that she had bumped into him earlier in the night "and she very simply said 'Pardon me'" — an unsubtle reference to the Republican nominee's frequent declarations that his opponent should go to jail.
Clinton, meanwhile, was more self-deprecating than Trump, joking that she's taken a break from her "usual nap schedule" to attend and suggesting that the audience should be pleased she's not charging her usual fee for speaking in front of potential donors.
But she also got in some digs at Trump, a few of which drew scattered jeers. Clinton said she understood why Trump was leery of teleprompters because they can be difficult to follow and "I'm sure it's even harder when you're translating from the original Russian."
The dinner is named after the former New York governor, who was the first Catholic to receive a major party nomination for president when he unsuccessfully ran in 1928. And fittingly for an event named after a man nicknamed "The Happy Warrior," the occasion has produced dozens of memorable presidential jokes — and sincere moments of goodwill that have remained largely absent from the 2016 campaign.
"I can't wish my opponent luck," John McCain said in 2008, turning toward Obama, "but I do wish him well."
Associated Press writers Jill Colvin and Catherine Lucey contributed reporting.

ZIMBABWE'S BRENDON DE JONGE seized a one-stroke lead by posting his second consecutive two-under 69 on Saturday in the third round of the storm-hit AT&T National.
De Jonge birdied three holes but hardly anyone witnessed it in person at the Congressional Country Club, after spectators were told to stay away because of a severe storm that struck the area overnight.
De Jonge said playing without spectators seemed odd at the start but then once they got going it was all about managing your golf game.
"At first it was definitely very strange," he said. "Then we kind of got used to it.
"Just the no buzz. It was hard to get the adrenaline going, kind of felt like you were playing a Tuesday practice round or a qualifier."
Tiger Woods carded a four-under 67 to climb into a share of second place at minus-six. He is tied with first-round leader Bo Van Pelt (67) and South Korea's Noh Seung-yul (69).
Woods moved to within one shot of the lead with four birdies on his first 10 holes.
"It was amazing we even got it in," Woods said. "So that was good. Today I just tried to make a run and fight back to get myself in the tournament."
The storm snapped trees, tore temporary tents from their foundations and scattered debris across the course.
Officials delayed the start of the round for six hours, then the players went off the first and 10th tees in threesomes. Because of safety concerns, fans and volunteers were told to stay away so just players, their family members, security and media were allowed in.
The USPGA Tour issued a statement saying winds in the range of 70-80 mph (112-128 km/h) were reported in the area near Washington.
Along with downed branches around the course, a 75-foot (22m) tree fell on the fairway of the 14th hole and many of the wooden signs identifying the holes were blown down.
Woods said he has played without galleries following him for a few holes before but not an entire round.
"It was very similar to what we faced when we play overseas in practice rounds or when we have dangerous conditions, thunderstorms blow in in the summertime and all the spectators are taken off the golf course and then we go back out and finish in the evening and have a few holes to play," Woods said.
"I've played in front of people like this, but not generally for an 18-hole competitive round."
De Jonge, who is chasing his first USPGA Tour title, finished 54 holes at seven-under 206.
"Winning here would be that much more special," said De Jonge of Harare. "It's obviously a great tournament with a great field, so that would be a good feather in your cap. But obviously I've got a lot of work to do tomorrow."
Second-round leader Hunter Mahan stumbled to a two-over 73. He finished three rounds tied with fellow American Billy Hurley (66) at five-under-par 208. Jhonattan Vegas (68) is one stroke back at four-under.
Tournament officials said they hope to have most of the downed trees removed by in time for Sunday's final round.

We finally decided to start by splitting their Ensalada de Cabra. It was overflowing with pine nuts, cranberries and goat cheese. The fig vinaigrette dressing had a wonderful flavor. We were just finishing it up when, our tapas arrived.
After much debating, we went with the Bacon Wrapped Dates, Gambas and Grilled Portobello Mushrooms. The Bacon Wrapped Dates came recommended and for a good reason. The bacon was extra crispy and provided an excellent salty contrast to the soft, sweet date, definitely an excellent choice. The Gambas, sauteed prawns in olive oil and garlic, tasted wonderful, especially when paired with the delicious Portobellos.
Between the tapas and the salad, we were certain that we couldn't eat another bite. Then, the Chilean Sea Bass arrived and just the smell of it flared our appetites back up. The sea bass was light, flaky and flavorful. This combined with the white cheddar mashed potatoes makes for a great meal.
If you still have room for dessert, they have a selection of fresh gelato and baked goods. We enjoyed the NY Cheesecake with the Strawberry gelato and the Berry Tartlet with the Pomegranate gelato. All of which, was a great way to wrap up an excellent meal.

I am really torn about this. She does have all the qualities that a good dog should have particularly in her train ability and desire. A friend keeps pushing but I don't want to bring any more carriers into world. Two of the studs I considered were both carriers so that ruled them out. I could have gone back to one I used before but his pups are slow to mature. We will have a male from that litter swab to see if he is a carrier. I am not just sure where the EIC comes in. Have never had it in my line before so was really disappointed. Guess that's life I may change my mind by the next heat cycle. Who knows. Thanks for asking. The only up side of this is I will be able to run lots of Amateurs this spring.

The Definitive Christmas Wish List
A senior citizen's Christmas wish list for all of mankind…
Iprods (available in 15,000 volt, 25,000 volt and 50,000 volt versions)
It's about time someone combined the genius of walking sticks with the ingenuity of cattle prods to create a handy device for shocking oblivious young people who are stomping around leashed to their mp3 players and knocking down old people like god damned bowling pins.
Large Print Traffic Signs
I do a lot of driving and its damned frustrating when I can't make out whether a sign says "one way", "freeway" or "pedestrian crosswalk." If it weren't for giant red octagons I wouldn't have a clue when I'm supposed to hit the brakes.
If you expect me to merge, exit or watch for children make signs big enough that a man can read the damned things.
Raising the Minimum Age of Doctors
Doctors are supposed to be sage old men with white hair, pot bellies and a black bag packed full of pills. The last Doctor I saw was about to give me a prostrate exam but the damned street lights came on and he had to go home.
It's ridiculous. If someone is going to manhandling my nether regions I'd at least like them to be shaving regularly and have seen a woman naked outside of the confines of their examining room.
A GOP Debate that is Watchable
…and does more than just confirm their collective belief that there's no such thing as evolution.
Scrapping the Food and Drug Administration
It's time to toss health regulations out the window and let eating be the literal and figurative crap shoot God intended it to be.
Not only would it save money but it's a good first step in slimming down damned young people too. After all, folks tend to be more cautious in their food consumption if there is a 30 per cent chance that what you're eating contains enough Salmonella to kill an African Bush Elephant. And there is nothing like a good case of the collywobbles to help people develop a healthy respect for food and to encourage them to leave a little something other than just tongue marks on their dinner plate.
Methuselah World
I'm sick of amusement parks pandering to children and believe the time is ripe for old folks to get their due. Forget the damned rolly-coasters, deep-fried turkey legs and overpriced gift shops, let's set up a nice park full of slow moving trains, shaded benches, Betty Boop mascots and decent diversions like whack-a-teen, taffy pulling and bumper walkers.
Limits to Personal Freedom
In my day, freedom of speech was a figure of speech, not an open invitation to flash-mobbing, wiki-leaking, unruly occupying or anti-social nose-thumbing.
People need to stop hiding behind the skirt of civil liberties and read between the damned lines. Freedom of assembly was meant to protect the rights of groups like the Freemasons, the Elks Lodge and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, not the South Dakota Chapter of Anarchy International.
Advances in Artificial Intelligence
Only because the real thing is in such woefully short supply.
The Humor Monologue

1. We usually keep the projector in the center of the stage, where the speakers speak. Today only the last speaker would use the projector. So Kees suggested that we put the projector in the corner of the room and bring it to the center when it's needed.
2. The table topics master, Roxanna, gave topics like "speak about spring (season) in wood, spring in garden, spring in childhood etc.) One of the speakers, Justin, told that he would find lot of dog poop outside his home during spring.
3. During the meeting, couple of mobile phones rang and disturbed the speeches.
4. Radomir talked about apocalypse. He referred to the recent meteor hit.
5. Bieneke talked about the history of the campus where the place we meet is located. She told that 20 years ago, the room that we use for meeting used to be the dressing room for the soccer players.
6. Marc talked about a technique for remembering things – called 'memory palace technique', where you associate the things which you want to remember to the things in an imaginery palace that you build.
7. Rohit, the general evaluator, told that we haven't used the guest book in the last 6 or 7 meetings. Normally guest book is used to collect the info about the guests that visit our club.
8. The structure of the meeting is like this – 1. Table topics 2. Prepared speeches 3. Evaluations. Today I was one of the evaluators.
1. Good evening dear toastmasters, guests, and the people who are here to change dresses.
2. You all know that I'm the second evaluator today. I would've preferred to sleep in the corner of the room until it was my turn to speak. Like the projector.
3. It's bad that we don't have a pillow here. But it's good that we have a guest book.
4. Today we heard people speaking about spring in the wood, spring in the garden, spring in the childhood. I don't know about all these things. But I know about the ring in the toastmasters meeting. Our ever-ringing mobile phone that is.
5. On the day that meteor hit the city, Justin was scared that the world would end. Because he saw something verryy strange. There was no dog poop outside his house.
6. I don't care if the meteor destroys this campus or house or the city. I would be happy as long as it doesn't destroy my memory palace.
7. Thank you Marcel, Marc, Mario, Bieneke, Tobias, Djean, Radomir, Wilhelm, Rohit, Kees, Roxanna. WoWWWW!! The memory palace technique works.

U.S. drops to No. 32 in FIFA rankings after Honduras loss
The United States dropped four spots to No. 32 in FIFA's February rankings after losing a World Cup qualifier at Honduras.
The ranking is the lowest for the Americans since they were 32nd in October. Since reaching a high of No. 4 in April 2006, the Americans have dropped as low as 36th last July and August.
Honduras moved up eight places to a tie for 51st.
World and European champion Spain leads the rankings and African champion Nigeria moved up 22 places to No. 30 after its victory over Burkina Faso in last weekend's African Cup of Nations final.
The top three spots were unchanged, with Germany second followed by Argentina. England improved two places to fourth after an exhibition win over 18th-ranked Brazil, whose ability to earn ratings points has been hurt because as World Cup host it has not played a competitive match in 1 1-2 years.
Italy dropped to No.5. The top ranked African country is No. 12 Ivory Coast, which lost to Nigeria in the quarterfinals.
Mexico leads the North and Central American and Caribbean nations at No. 15. Japan tops Asian nations at No. 28, down seven places.

I am trying to use SCTP protocol in windows 7 and generate traffic. I downloaded and installed SCTP from http://www.bluestop.org/SctpDrv/releases/1.1.6/ and now how can I generate any traffic with SCTP protocol (may be http traffic or FTP etc ) like TCP . when I check the readme file from the SCTPDRV installation author mentioned to follow these instructions
Use of SCTP:
"In order to use all the capabilities of SCTP, you have to append the directory of ws2sctp.h
into the Include Path of your compiler and link sctpsp.lib into your application. If however
you just need to use SCTP as an alternative to TCP without using the new API or features, you
can just change IPPROTO_TCP to IPPROTO_SCTP and use the standard headers: Microsoft ships
Winsock with the IPPROTO_SCTP definition included."
can anyone can guide me to do the above tasks will be very thankful.
thanks in advance

While the PlayStation 3 is just now hitting its stride, and has its best days still ahead of it, Sony is not one to rest on its laurels, and with the intense competition in the video game world at present, plans for the PlayStation 4's future release are already being put into motion. In fact not only is the PlayStation 4 getting this treatment, but even the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 6 are in the early stages of planning and conceptualization at Sony's R&D labs.
Although we've yet to see what the PS3 can fully do when really put through its paces (in fact Sony states that games currently on the market are not even close to pushing the system to its full potential), the thought of an even more powerful console looming on the horizon has gamers worried about the holes it will leave burning in their pockets, but giddy at the possibilities of what this new behemoth of a console will be able to pull off. Just imagine the hardware on this thing, it will be insane!
The Question Everyone Wants the Answer To...
As a result, the question on everyone's mind is, when will the PlayStation 4 see the light of day?!?!? While Sony has not released any official information concerning the system's future launch, the generally accepted release date is pegged as late 2012, which would follow the trend of Sony's previous console generations. The PlayStation 1 was first released in late 1994 in Japan and 1995 throughout the rest of the world. The PlayStation 2 hit stores in 2000, giving the PS1 a retail shelf life of 6 years from its Japanese launch. Likewise, the PlayStation 3 came out in 2006, 6 years after the release of the PS2. Following this trend that Sony has established would give us a late 2012 release for the PS4.
Other rumours have also circulated of late which backs up these claims. At last year's Game Developer's Conference in Germany, the CEO of Crytek announced that his company's development of their next-generation graphics engine, the CryEngine3, will release in 2012, around the same time as the PlayStation 4. Although he stated he had no concrete information that the PS4 would be released around this time, and that even if he did, he would not be at liberty to share that information, he expected this to be the release window of the new system.
The Business of Sales (Or How to Get a PS4 Sooner by Not Buying a PS3)
It's possible that how the PlayStation 3 fares in the current console war may also determine the release date of the PS4, for a couple of reasons. If the system continues to flounder in 3rd place in the console wars, failing to generate the revenue which was initially expected of it, Sony may be far more eager to cut their losses and rush the PS4 to market sooner rather than later, possibly as early as late 2011.
If the PS3 does indeed fail to make ground on the Wii and Xbox 360, it may also convince Sony to try and jump the gun on the next generation console wars and get their system out the door first. Both the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2, which dominated their generations of the console wars, came to market at the same time or earlier than their competition. The PlayStation 1 was launched just after the Sega Saturn, and well before the Nintendo 64, while the PlayStation 2 was released before both the Xbox and Nintendo Gamecube.
This enabled Sony to get a head start on the competition and gave developers time to build their skills at developing games for the console, to the point that even as more powerful consoles came after, games released on the older system were just as good technically, providing no real incentive for players to move to the new consoles.
This same effect has worked against the PlayStation 3 to some extent, as though considered to be far more powerful than the Xbox 360, the one year head start the 360 received has allowed developers to more quickly maximize the system's potential, resulting in games that rivaled games on the PS3 when it released. Only as the system's life spans come to an end will we likely see the PlayStation 3 come out with games that clearly trump what the 360 can do graphically.
How Sony plans to play their hand is cause for much speculation. What we do know is that the PlayStation 4 is coming sooner than we may think, and it will take gaming to a whole new level.
Let us know what you think. Will we see the PlayStation 4 within the next 2-3 years, or is the release further off? Feel free to comment below. You can also join our forums to voice your opinion on everything PlayStation.
Update - July 2009 - In a recent interview, Doom and Quake creator John Carmack speculated that Sony will likely attempt to be first to the dance floor with their new console, before Microsoft launches their next console. As talked about above, there is plenty of rationale in this line of thinking. On the other hand, Sony has long maintained they have a long-term plan for the PS3, and with the lower production costs of the new slim model PS3, and the increased sales of the new version, the PS3 may just be coming into its own. Whether Sony will try to launch before Microsoft (by all accounts Nintendo will actually launch first, but they're not considered direct competition to the others like Sony and Microsoft are to each other) remains to be seen. Let us know what you think.
Update - June 2010 - In an interview with Gamespot at this year's E3, Activision COO Thomas Tippl shed some up-to-date, though still quite vague light, on the PS4's future release. When asked when he expected the next generation consoles to release, Tippl stated that it was unlikely they would see release within the next 2-3 years, as Activision still had no information on any new consoles. With development times for next gen games running 2-3 years on average, it makes sense that if the new consoles will come with third party games at launch (a near certainty), it will be at least 2 years from the time third parties first get the development toolkits in their hands to the point where the console releases. In the meantime all we can do is speculate and continue to wait.
Update - May 2011 - According to a recent article in Eurogamer, Sony has confirmed they're directing finances to an undisclosed research and development project for a "Future Platform". In the build up to E3, rumors about Project Cafe suggest Nintendo will announce the Wii-2 and developers have reported receiving prototype development tools for a new Microsoft product. Everyone is expecting an Xbox720 and Wii-2 announcement, we can hope that Sony has something as big to announce.
A quote from Sony's chief Financial Manager
Kato stated "For the home equipment the PS3 still has a product life, but this is a platform business, so for the future platform - when we'll be introducing what product I cannot discuss that - but our development work is already under way, so the costs are incurred there."
Update - E3 2011
Gamers eagerly awaiting a Playstation 4 announcement were disappointed when SCEE boss Andrew House released a statement in an interview with Eurogamer
"From a Sony perspective, we're very comfortable with PS3 and the way that market's developing,"
Although they made it clear they have no intention of a Playstation 4 related announcement anytime soon they did show off their new 3D capability as well as the NGP/PSP2 now officially named Playstation Vita. They've waited 7 years after the release of the PSP to announce their next generation handheld, we could be waiting a similar length of time for an official Playstation 4 announcement, stay tuned!

Through our free Information & Resource service, we provide unbiased information about breast cancer to anyone who needs it. You can speak one-on-one with a knowledgeable staff member so that you can make informed decisions about your health based on your personal values and priorities.
Whether you need help understanding the treatment options for DCIS, want to know what studies say about aromatase inhibitors, or have a question about environmental links to cancer, we're here to give you evidence-based information you can trust when you and those you love are affected by breast cancer.
If you have questions or need information, please email our Resource Liaison Zoë Christopher at email@example.com or give her a call at 415.243.9301, ext. 10.
In addition, we've assembled some Frequently Asked Questions below:
- How can I tell if I have breast cancer?
- What are the signs of inflammatory breast cancer?
- What is Paget's Disease of the breast?
- What is ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)?
- What are microcalcifications?
- Is the AMAS blood test a useful diagnostic tool for breast cancer?
- I'm uninsured, where can I go for screening and treatment?
- How can I get a second opinion if my insurance won't pay for it?
- What assistance programs are available to help pay for medication?
- How can I find a doctor who practices alternative medicine?
- Should I have genetic testing done to find out if I have the "breast cancer gene"?
- How do I know if a new "breakthrough" is actually important news?
- What are aromatase inhibitors?
- Are breast implants safe?
- What is a prophylactic mastectomy?
How can I tell if I have breast cancer? Lumps: The most common symptom found by women is a lump in the breast or chest area. Most lumps are not cancerous. In fact, in pre-menopausal women only one in 12 lumps turns out to be cancer. But you can't tell whether a lump is cancer by the way it feels to you. New lumps and thickening of the breast should be checked out by a doctor right away. While a diagnostic mammogram may help, the only way to tell if any symptom is breast cancer is to have a biopsy done. This involves removing part of the lump to check for cancerous cells.
Breast Pain: There are 3 main categories of breast pain: cyclical (pain related to the menstrual cycle), non-cyclical and pain that is non-breast in origin. The most common of these is cyclical. You can track this by marking your level of pain on a calendar and marking when you're on your period. You will then see if your pain is premenstrual or not. Cyclical pain has no relation to cancer; it is related to hormone variations.
Non-cyclical pain is far less common. It doesn't vary with your cycle. It's almost always on one specific area, and is not hormonal. Something in the breast tissue is causing it. It can be a sign of cancer, although this is the case only about 10 percent of the time, so it's always worth checking out with your doctor, a breast specialist, or someone knowledgeable in the field who will take your concerns seriously.
Non-breast-origin pain is usually in the middle of the chest and doesn't change with your period. Most frequently, it's arthritis in the place where the ribs and breastbone connect, or in the neck (which radiates down into the breast).
Other signs of breast cancer can be redness of the skin of the breast, eczema of the nipple, or dimpling of the skin.
If you're worried about any changes you find in your breasts, you should see a doctor and get it checked out. Then if it's cancer, you can start working on it; if it isn't, you can stop worrying.
What are the signs of inflammatory breast cancer? Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is a relatively rare form of breast cancer (about 1-4%), and symptoms can include the following:
- A warm swollen breast that does not change through the menstrual cycle
- Skin that is red or appears dimpled like an orange (peau d'orange)
- The sudden appearance of a lump in the breast or thickening of breast tissue
- Rapid, unusual increase in breast size
- Itching or pain in the breast
- A nipple that is flattened or inverted, possibly with discharge
- Swollen lymph nodes under the arm or above the collarbone
These symptoms often appear with IBC because the cancer is fast-growing and blocks the lymph vessels in the breast and skin. All of the listed symptoms may also be present with benign breast disorders. Different women have different symptoms and in some cases there may be no visible skin changes.
We know that if we find a lump in our breast, we should have it checked out by a doctor, but many women don't know that you don't have to have a lump to have breast cancer. Some women who have inflammatory breast cancer may remain undiagnosed for long periods, even while seeing their doctor to learn the cause of their symptoms. IBC symptoms are similar to mastitis, a breast infection, and some doctors will prescribe antibiotics. If there's no response to antibiotics after a week, a biopsy should be performed or a referral to a breast specialist is warranted.

What is Paget's Disease of the breast? According to Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book (3d ed.), pp. 403-404:
"Paget's disease of the breast is a form of breast cancer that shows up in the nipple as an itchiness and scaling that doesn't get better. It's often mistaken for eczema of the nipple – a far more common occurrence. [Paget's disease of the breast is sufficiently rare to be covered by the Institute of Rare Diseases at the National Institutes of Health.] Paget's disease is almost never found in both breasts (bilateral), so if you've got itching and scaling on both nipples, you've probably got a fairly harmless skin condition. However, if it doesn't get better, you should check it out, whether it's on one or both nipples. After a diagnostic mammogram, your doctor can biopsy the skin of the nipple, removing only about a millimeter or two of skin. If it's Paget's, the pathologist will see little cancer cells growing up into the skin of the nipple…
"There are probably two variants of Paget's disease: one associated with an invasive cancer in the breast and one that involves only the nipple. Paget's disease that involves only the nipple has a better prognosis than regular breast cancer. It tends not to be too aggressive, and usually the lymph nodes turn out to be negative."
Like any other change in the breast (or elsewhere in your body), a change in the nipple should not be ignored. If you feel that you are not being given the treatment you deserve, speak up. Demand that extra test; get a second opinion. Don't let your concerns be dismissed. After all, it's you, the patient, who is taking the risk.
What is ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)? Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a lesion contained within a breast duct, the cells of which look just like cancer cells but are not life-threatening so long as they are confined to the breast duct. But DCIS can develop into a life-threatening cancer if the abnormal cells break out of the ducts and into surrounding breast tissue. Women are often told that it's the earliest form of breast cancer, or 'stage 0 cancer' but some doctors refer it is as 'pre-cancer'. DCIS is fairly common—many of us probably have it and may never know it. More and more women, approximately 55,000 this year, are being diagnosed with DCIS because of the increased use of mammography screening.
Somewhere between 30-50 percent of DCIS will go on to become invasive breast cancer if it isn't treated. That means that 50-70 percent of women could safely ignore it and never have a problem. The problem is that we don't currently have the technology to determine whether a woman's DCIS will become invasive breast cancer or not. Because of this uncertainty, many women are over-treated. Treatment options include mastectomy, wide excision alone (like a lumpectomy), wide excision plus radiation, a combination of those with tamoxifen, or simply "watchful waiting" to see whether and how the DCIS progresses. Although DCIS is pre-cancer, the diagnosis comes along with the fears, questions, and difficult decisions of a cancer diagnosis.
The treatment (or non-treatment) that a woman diagnosed with DCIS chooses has a lot to do with how she feels about risk and how comfortable she is with uncertainty. Each woman should be given all of the available information and be encouraged to make the decision that feels best to her.
What are microcalcifications? Microcalcifications are tiny calcium deposits in your breast that may indicate cancer, even when no lump is felt. Microcalcifications are not the cancer itself. As a result of improved x-ray technology and broader mammographic screening, more women are now dealing with diagnostic and treatment decisions related to a finding of microcalcifications. Most breast calcifications (approx. 80 percent) are associated with benign conditions; these calcifications are usually large, few in number, widely dispersed, and round. The term microcalcifications is often used for the smaller calcifications that are associated with malignancy; microcalcifications are usually more numerous, clustered, and variously shaped (rods, branches, teardrops). Between benign and suspicious calcifications is a gray zone of "hard to tell" calcifications which are often labeled indeterminate. Since physicians' recommendations regarding indeterminate calcifications differ, women need to inform themselves about diagnostic options.
When calcifications are thought to be associated with benign conditions, a routine mammogram is called for in one or two (or more) years, depending on a woman's age and risk factors. When suspicious micro-calcifications appear on a mammogram, but no lump is felt, either a needle-localization biopsy or a sterotactic core biopsy is recommended, so that breast tissue can be removed and examined under a microscope by a pathologist. These two kinds of biopsies are the only ways to find out whether indeterminate microcalcifications are associated with cancer.
—Excerpted from the Women's Cancer Resource Center article "Breast Calcifications: Beware If a Six-Month Mammogram Follow-up is Recommended."
Is the AMAS blood test a useful diagnostic tool for breast cancer? The test you are referring to is known as the Anti-Malignin Antibody in Serum or AMAS. This test has been promoted as both a diagnostic and assessment tool for cancer, but has only been approved by the FDA as a tool for detecting recurrence. Because elevation of certain antibodies often correlates with illness, AMAS was developed to determine levels of anti-malignin antibodies as an indication of cancer. The test is accurate in measuring anti-malignin antibodies, with a 95% first time success rate, but in some cases it records transient elevated antibody levels that soon return to normal. Also, the test cannot help determine where in your body you might have cancer, and it could detect cancer at such an early stage that your doctor may not be able to find it. For this reason AMAS, has not been considered helpful in initial cancer detection, yet it can help in determining whether or not cancer is truly in remission.
I'm uninsured, where can I go for screening and treatment? Until we have universal access to quality health care in this country, finding screening and treatment will continue to be a problem for the growing number of people without health care coverage. But resources do exist. Contact Zoe at email@example.com for information about what services may be available in your area. Currently there are federal and state programs to help low-income women get screened for breast cancer, but there are little to no securely funded programs to help ensure treatment for those who have been diagnosed. To find out about your state's Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, call 888.842.6355. In addition, most chapters of the American Cancer Society have information on local sources of low-cost or free mammography and other financial resources. It's also worth asking your hospital's social worker and/or financial counselor to see what options they have available.
How can I get a second opinion if my insurance won't pay for it? There are a number of organizations that can help you through insurance pitfalls and other legal matters related to breast cancer. To find out where you can get a second opinion, contact the R.A. Bloch Cancer Foundation at 800-433-0464, or if you live in or near the Bay Area, you can get a free second opinion from a panel of doctors who volunteer their time and expertise at the Regional Cancer Foundation (415-775-9956). If your insurance company is balking at paying for a second opinion or a secondary screening test such ultrasound, you can register a complaint with your state's medical board. You can also contact any of the organizations below to find out what your rights are and to get legal assistance.
Many of these organizations can also help you deal with legal issues related to access to healthcare, child custody/guardianship, debtor's rights, employment rights, family & medical leave, housing discrimination, public benefits, and wills & medical directives.

What assistance programs are available to help pay for medication? As our health care system worsens and drug costs rise, we're bound to hear this question more and more. In addition to knowing about the growing movements for universal access to care and for affordable medications, you should also be aware that many pharmaceutical companies have programs that provide drugs to physicians whose patients could not otherwise afford them.
Usually your physician must apply to these programs on your behalf, but you can call and obtain the applications and information yourself. Amounts and eligibility will vary greatly from program to program. To find companies' patient assistance programs (you can search either by drug name or company name), visit www.needymeds.com.
How can I find a doctor who practices alternative medicine? Finding a practitioner of alternative medicine who fits your style and your needs can be difficult. Below are a number of internet databases that can help you in your search. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Look for a practitioner who has extensive experience in breast cancer.
- Ask for a clear description of why the proposed regimen would work, based on biological principles, and why this particular plan is being recommended for you.
- Determine the range of benefits you might see and how likely you are to enjoy those benefits. Give the information a reality check by comparing it with other available therapies. For example, a greater than 50 percent chance of complete long-term remission in advanced breast cancer is almost unheard of; if it did exist and was documented, it would certainly have been reported in the news and medical journals.
- Have a frank discussion about side effects, the frequency of these side effects, and possible interactions with other drugs.
- Find an ND
- Professional Referral Network
- American Holistic Health Association
- Alternative Medicine Home Page
- FAIM Foundation for the Advancement of Innovative Medicine
Should I have genetic testing done to find out if I have the "breast cancer gene"? Approximately 5 to 10 percent of women with breast cancer have a hereditary form of the disease. Of these women, 30 to 70 percent have an inherited genetic mutation of the so-called "breast cancer genes" (BRCA1 & BRCA2). Since most breast cancer cases are not linked to these inherited mutations, most women would not benefit from genetic testing. However, if you feel your situation warrants getting tested, you should consult with a trained genetics counselor who can help you evaluate your risk and understand the test.
Those considering being tested are entitled to be fully informed about the implications of the tests before they agree to undergo them. There is currently no known effective method for preventing breast cancer, even in those known to have a genetic mutation that predisposes them to developing the disease. Prophylactic mastectomy does not prevent breast cancer since breast tissue remains even after this drastic surgery. Nor is there any clearly appropriate medical care for people known to have a genetic predisposition to breast cancer.
Women with a BRCA1 mutation associated with an increased risk for breast cancer are more likely to develop the disease at an early age, but regular mammography has not been shown to be effective in reducing breast cancer mortality in women under 50. There are no effective means for truly early detection of breast cancer, and the availability of genetic testing serves only to highlight the need for more research in this area. Consider that, even if you get a positive result, there currently isn't anything you can do to be more vigilant about breast cancer than what you are already doing.
Other issues that should be carefully considered are the psychological impact to yourself and to your family as well as the possible insurance and job discrimination issues that may arise.
How do I know if a new "breakthrough" is actually important news? Breast cancer is a hot topic in the news. It seems like there is a never ending stream of cancer "breakthroughs" reported that promise that better treatment, or even the cure, is right around the corner. Beware of this sort of "science by press release." The fact is that cancer is big business, and in order to keep the money flowing, researchers need to have something to show for it. So, as research centers vie for future funding and industry execs seek to raise their stock prices, we're seeing an increasing number of these prematurely hyped stories. Here are some tips on what to look for when you read about a new development in breast cancer:
How big was the study? Having a large amount of people in a study helps ensure that the conclusions are not a result of mere chance or other unforeseen variables. There is no single standard on how big a study must be, since it depends on what is being studied, but for the most part, to help ensure that a study is "statistically significant," bigger is better.
How long did the study last? Long-term follow-up is an important feature to look for in a breast cancer study, particularly when the study involves treatment of primary disease. But long-term follow-up is often not done. As a rule, follow-up should last long enough to see the result you are studying. For instance, a study looking at using radiotherapy to prevent recurrence might involve only one-and-a-half years of follow-up, despite the fact that the peak time for cancer recurrence is two to four years after treatment. Studies of primary "prevention" (to prevent an initial occurrence of breast cancer) need to last a lot longer than studies trying to prevent recurrences.
Who funded the study? Do the people who funded the study have a vested interest in the outcome? A pharmaceutical company is likely to make a big news splash about a new drug even if the drug is shown to have only minimal benefits over current treatment options.
How was the study designed? Studies can be done in numerous ways, and the questions that frame a study definitely affect the answers you get. The "gold standard" for medical research is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a sample size large enough to produce at most a 5% chance of the results being due to chance.
And lastly, who benefits, and what does it mean for women living with, and at risk for, breast cancer? Many times a new-fangled treatment is really years and years away from being ready for use by clinicians. While it's encouraging to know that some progress is being made in laboratories, it is also discouraging for the thousands of women who desperately want a widely publicized treatment that is as of yet unavailable, except maybe to laboratory rats.
What are aromatase inhibitors? Aromatase inhibitors are a type of hormone therapy for breast cancer patients with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors decrease the circulating estrogen in a woman's body by preventing the aromatase enzyme from converting androgen (androstenedione and testosterone) into estrogen (estrone and estradiol), which is the principal source of estrogen for postmenopausal women. These drugs should only be prescribed to women who are postmenopausal or who have had an oophorectomy.
There are three aromatase inhibitors—Arimidex (anastrozole), Femara (letrazole), and Aromasin (exemestane) that are currently approved by the FDA. These drugs are significantly different from SERMS, or selective estrogen receptor modulators. SERMS, such as Nolvadex (tamoxifen) and Evista (raloxifene), are synthetic hormones that bind to the estrogen receptors in a woman's breast cells in place of her own estrogen. SERMS "fake out" the estrogen receptors because, unlike natural estrogen, they do not stimulate breast cell growth.
The preliminary results of research comparing the use of tamoxifen alone or tamoxifen plus anastrozole (the ATAC trial) showed a slightly longer disease-free survival for women on anastrozole than for women on tamoxifen, but a longer trial will be needed to enable us to make definitive conclusions. Media hype and pharmaceutical companies' desires to put new drugs on the market often preempt the thorough study of new drugs before they are released. Thus far, little is known about the long-term effects of aromatase inhibitors. Known side effects of concern include increased risk of bone fractures, elevated cholesterol, musculoskeletal syndrome (aches and pains in soft tissue and joints), and neurocognitive problems (with memory, attention, and word finding).
Like SERMS, aromatase inhibitors are being evaluated as "prevention pills". Breast Cancer Action has serious concerns about giving otherwise healthy women drugs that can have harmful side effects. The current focus on pills for prevention diverts attention and funding from the true prevention of breast cancer through understanding and eliminating our exposure to toxic chemicals.
Are breast implants safe? Many women ask us about the possible complications related to breast reconstruction and implants. There are two main types of implants: silicone and saline. Another option not discussed here is the tissue flap where a section of skin, fat and/or muscle is taken from another area of a woman's body to shape a new breast.
Surprisingly, both silicone and saline implants were unregulated by the FDA for many years. Silicone implants were developed in the early 60's and first came under the scrutiny of the FDA in 1990. By 1992 the FDA declared a moratorium on their use while they gathered evidence on links between silicone leakage and connective tissue disease. A study published in May of 2001 on the health effects of ruptured silicone gel implants concluded that women who suffered silicone leakage were 2.8 times more likely to report that they had the soft tissue syndrome, fibromyalgia. There are few conclusive studies on the possible link between silicone leakage and other health problems, but some women report disorders such as autoimmune diseases like scleroderma (which causes a gradual hardening of the skin and internal organs), lupus, rheumatoid and other forms of arthritis, as well as chronic fatigue syndrome. Today silicone implants are available only through participation in special studies.
Saline implants were in use for 25 years before the FDA assembled an advisory panel to assess their safety in March of 2000. Despite evidence of numerous risks and complications reported by the advisory panel, the FDA approved saline implants manufactured by two companies, McGhan Medical and the Mentor Corporation. Some of the complications that can occur are infection and contracture of the surrounding tissue, pain, hardening, rashes, and implant rupture. The FDA concluded that 40% of breast cancer patients who have reconstructive surgery were likely to need repeat surgeries within one to three years. They also found that 73—84% of reconstruction patients reported at least one complication during the first three years after receiving saline implants
A number of studies have reported that women with implants are not at increased risk for breast cancer. Implants can obscure breast tissue and make mammograms even more difficult to read. A study conducted by Wendie Berg of the Department of Radiology of the University of Maryland reported that approximately 28% of cancers would not be visible in women with implants.
What is a prophylactic mastectomy? A prophylactic mastectomy is elective surgery to remove a breast in which no breast cancer has been found. It may describe the removal of both breasts or a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy, which is the removal of a non-cancerous breast in addition to the cancerous one.
The intention is to preemptively reduce the risk of getting breast cancer, though it is impossible to completely eliminate risk because some breast tissue always remains. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology stated that bilateral prophylactic mastectomy reduces the risk of breast cancer in women with BRCA1/2 mutations by approximately 90%.
36 year old actress Christina Applegate recently had a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy, bringing attention to a drastic surgery which doubled in the six years prior. Women who opt for prophylactic mastectomy tend to have had cancer in one breast, have a family history of breast cancer, have tested positive for the BRCA 1 or 2 mutation, or have found precancerous or abnormal cells and have decided that the anxiety of living with uncertainty and high risk of breast cancer outweighs the option of keeping their breasts and possibly having to undergo cancer treatment. Those who do decide to have a prophylactic mastectomy are then faced with other difficult decisions regarding breast reconstruction. Some insurance companies do not cover prophylactic mastectomy.
As with any health decision, the choice to have a prophylactic mastectomy is a deeply personal one. Women weighing this option should have full information about the potential risks and benefits.
Despite sometimes being called a preventive mastectomy, prophylactic mastectomy does not equal true prevention. BCA member Edare Carroll writes in The Source, "No surgery, no magic pill, nothing that we know of currently can guarantee that a person will not get breast cancer. True prevention can only come from discovering what causes breast cancer. We need more viable options than cutting off our breast."

WASHINGTON — IMAX Corp. is beginning an initiative to transition museum-based theaters to new laser digital projection, beginning with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.
IMAX is announcing plans Tuesday to upgrade the Smithsonian's three theaters in 2014. New technology uses lasers instead of light bulbs to light giant movie screens.
IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond says the company invested $50 million to develop laser projection. He says IMAX's roots are in museums, and it aims to keep that business as film becomes obsolete. Digital projection allows museums to show more Hollywood movies.
The new system includes technology IMAX licensed from Eastman Kodak Co. in 2011 to improve digital images on the largest screens.

I think the most interesting part of Bravo's Housewives series is actually what seems to happen once the camera stops rolling. That's when the real drama begins.
As you can see from the above photo, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast are on the cover of the new issue of Us Magazine. US promises to reveal their dirty secrets, but we pretty much know everything there is to know about this women.
The article talks about Jacqueline Laurita ending her friendship with the very toxic Danielle Staub. Jacqueline tells US, "I am not friends with Danielle." But she doesn't stop there, "She has never seen the baby, nor will I ever show her. I learned my family was right about her all along." Ouch! One can't help but wonder what Danielle might have said or did to have Jacqueline feeling this way. Maybe part 2 of the reunion will shed some light on this.
In other steamy news, Danielle went to court today to stop the release of the sex tape she made with 26 year old ex boyfriend, Stephen Zalewski. We reported last week that Stephen claimed to have sex tapes involving Danielle, and was threatening to sell them to the highest bidder.
Luckily for Danielle, the judge issued an injunction banning the release of any sexually explicit video or pictures of her pending a hearing next month.
What 46 year old woman in her right mind makes a sex tape? Especially one with 2 young daughters? To make matters worse, below are photos of Danielle leaving a New Jersey courthouse today. Yes that's her blowing kisses to the camera, and taking photos with her "fans." This woman is the definition of pathological, sad, and delusional. She seems to want fame, no matter the cost. SAD.

Top performance, but also maximum comfort: thanks to Lamborghini's ANIMA (Adaptive Network Intelligence Management) technology, the Huracán can meet all of your driving needs. Each single part recalibrates to provide a driving experience like no other.
By choosing the STRADA setting, you can drive with comfort and maximum grip, perfect for both day-to-day use as well as longer journeys. If you are looking for thrills and fun while driving, then you will appreciate the slight oversteer capabilities of the SPORT setting. On the other hand, to enjoy a racing-style drive, top performance will be delivered by the CORSA setting, which allows the Huracán Coupé to fully express its incredible potential.
The Huracán Coupé's exterior: form follows function, guaranteeing Lamborghini's stylistic purity and performance, so it comes as no surprise that the design is inspired by something as essential as a carbon atom.
From hexagons to streamlined Y's, each of the Huracán's lines is designed to cut through the air and take your breath away. A sporty and dynamic look, both innovative and unmistakably Lamborghini, built to intensify your emotions.
Luxury meets the spirit of Lamborghini inside the Huracán. Sporty yet elegant, it was developed to provide all the space and comfort you need. A large 12.3" TFT instrument panel, controls integrated in the steering wheel, perfectly contoured sports seats and a center console puts all the controls at your fingertips. Every detail is designed to make your driving experience natural and involving, all with the highest quality finish throughout.
On the one hand, you will have the incredible power and acceleration of a longitudinal mid-mount naturally aspirated V-10 engine. On the other, you have all the technology of the Lamborghini Doppia Frizione (LDF) dual-clutch transmission and the electronically controlled all-wheel drive system for all driving conditions.
This means you can have all the power you need and at the same time the fun, exhilarating drive you desire every day.
Lightweight, compact and with an unmistakable sound thanks to its long-stroke architecture, the naturally aspirated 90° V-10 engine in the Huracán Coupé was designed to dazzle. What's more, it offers injection technology which for the first time on a V-10 engine combines multi-point injection with IDS (Iniezione Diretta Stratificata) stratified injection: depending on the driving conditions, the two systems are used at the same time or alternatively, thus offering the advantages of both in terms of improved efficiency and performance. The Stop-Start and Cylinder on demand technologies (available in certain markets) further increase the efficiency of this V-10 engine.
Carbon fiber and aluminum: these are the materials that, when combined, make the chassis of the Huracán both lightweight and high-performance by considerably increasing its torsional stiffness, obtaining incredible results.
The double wishbone architecture of the Huracán Spyder's suspension system offers the perfect balance between day-to-day convenience and sports performance. In addition, an optional magnetorheological shock absorber system is available, designed to adjust the damping effect almost instantaneously on the basis of three factors: driving style, road conditions, and the selected driving mode.
Comfort as well as road safety. More sensitive at low speeds and less direct at high speeds, the new electromechanical power steering (EPS) is designed to adapt to any driving conditions. In addition, thanks to its high efficiency, it does not require the typical maintenance of standard hydraulic power steering. Available as an option, the innovative Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS) system dynamically varies the steering ratio so you always have the ideal steering response for all driving conditions.
Imagine you could have two gearboxes in the same unit: while one gear is engaged, the next is already selected so that the shift occurs instantaneously by opening one clutch and closing the other. This is what the Huracán is able to offer you, thanks to its 7-speed Lamborghini Doppia Frizione (LDF) dual-clutch transmission.
The Lamborghini Infotainment System II (LIS II), as well as providing you with all necessary information on the vehicle, allows you to manage the vehicle's audio (including through the universal audio interface provided as standard feature) and the optional satnav system, thanks to which you always have high-quality maps with a 3D display available. Thanks to the LIS II system's ergonomic controls, the Huracán offers a completely integrated multimedia system which allows you to manage every function without taking your eyes off the road. All these functions can indeed be viewed on the 12.3" HD TFT instrument panel in front of the driver.
The all-wheel-drive system was developed to be controlled electronically in order to provide greater speed and precision in transferring torque between the axles, and as a result improved control in all driving conditions. The system continuously varies the division of torque on the basis of the selected driving mode and the road conditions. The result is exhilarating: improved power transfer on bends and when accelerating during demanding stretches of driving, and at the same time better grip and safety during day-to-day driving.
