The Environmental Council of Zambia (ECZ), with the support of UNITAR, launched a new project to "Strengthen Capacities for Implementation of the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) and support GHS capacity building" at a workshop in Lusaka on 24 September 2010. Speaking at the workshop, Acting Director of ECZ, Mr Edwin Soko, said that the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is a new international tool that can be effectively used as a basis for developing comprehensive national chemical safety programmes in countries like Zambia.
As part of the two-year project, training will be conducted in order to define and classify hazards and communicate hazard information on labels and safety data sheets; the GHS covers all hazardous chemicals including substances, mixtures, and preparations. The target groups for the training will include agricultural workers, industrials workers, consumers, transport workers, emergency response teams and other relevant stakeholders. The project is supported by the SAICM Quick Start Programme Trust Fund, with technical support from the UNITAR/ILO GHS Capacity Building Programme.

With all of the concern over the credit crisis, the bailout package, and the troubles facing Corporate America in general, let's not forget what the average working American is now facing:
- A recession that may last through 2009.
- Rising inflation.
- A stock portfolio piling up huge losses.
- Stagnant or declining home values.
- The ever-increased presence of Susan Boyle in the media.
I hate to be a downer
That's a not-exactly rosy picture. Belts are tightening in households across the country, and for good reason: This is a downturn without much precedent. I don't believe there's any question about whether we'll bounce back from this, but there's no clear answer on when that'll be.
But there's one thing you should absolutely avoid, if at all possible. It's a decision that will save you tens of thousands of dollars and allow you to retire earlier. Please, if you are debt free and have emergency money set aside, don't cash out your 401(k).
Seem obvious? Think again. A 2005 survey from Hewitt Associates showed that almost half of employees took a cash distribution of their 401(k) plan when leaving a company. Not because they needed the cash for a new roof or medical care, but simply because they were switching jobs! And these aren't recent college grads with less than one month's rent in the account -- 42% of those who cashed out were aged 40-49!
The not-so-golden years
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average American will have 10 jobs between ages 18 and 38. When leaving one job for another, you have the choice to cash out your 401(k), keep your account with the old employer, or roll it over to the new employer or into an IRA.
Unfortunately, too many folks are shooting their retirement in the proverbial foot. Taking the road that may seem to offer less paperwork will end up costing you big time in the end. In fact, Motley Fool Rule Your Retirement advisor Robert Brokamp has said that cashing out your 401(k) is among the worst possible financial moves you can make, for many reasons:
- Investors face an automatic 10% early withdrawal penalty if they are younger than 59 1/2.
- Because of IRS rules, employers have to hold back 20% of your account balance for taxes.
- Retirement accounts are protected in the event that your company (or you) declare bankruptcy.
- Most importantly, even if your account balance is relatively small, you're cheating yourself from years of compounding interest. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, workers will have to save three times as much per month for every 10 years they delay.
This is an especially bad move now
Cashing out is extremely tempting -- especially if you've seen the value of your portfolio decline in recent months. But point No. 4 above is a major reason why you should be looking to add to your 401(k) right now.
That's right, adding to. I know things have been brutal for the past year, but it's a fantastic time to be a net buyer of stocks or funds right now. Warren Buffett has said as much (in a New York Times op-ed last fall), and his holding company has been putting cash to use by increasing stakes in Wells Fargo
This is a buyer's market. Many institutional investors have to sell, and in the process, they're driving some great businesses down to prices that may well fall below their intrinsic value. The beauty of the 401(k) is that it allows you to dollar-cost average into great funds such as Bridgeway Large Cap Growth (BRLGX).
This fund had a tough year in 2008, but manager John Montgomery is one of the best in the business. His fund is currently invested in Hewlett-Packard
These are businesses built for the long run. By sticking them in your retirement plan -- and allowing dollar-cost averaging to limit your itch to try to time the market -- you'll be getting a heck of a lot more shares of these great businesses, which you can allow to compound for years to come.
On the road to retirement
Of course, my long-term bullishness in no way disregards the seriousness of the current economic climate. But unless you're in debt or have cash emergencies right now, cashing out your 401(k) will likely be a terrible impediment to a happy retirement.
Never forget the rules of investing, as set forth by Foolish retirement expert Robert Brokamp:
- If you need the money in the next year, it should be in cash.
- If you need the money in the next one to five (or even seven) years, choose safe, income-producing investments such as Treasuries, CDs, or bonds.
- Any money you don't need for more than seven years is a candidate for the stock market.
Live by these rules, and you'll thank yourself down the road.

Off Main Street / The offbeat side of the news
A team player
An otherwise sleepy work session on Buffalo's capital budget was rolling along when Coca-Cola Field came up.
The capital budget calls for $750,000 in improvements to the ballpark.
Council Member Darius G. Pridgen asked Public Works Commissioner Steven J. Stepniak if the city can do more to stir activity at the place.
Stepniak said the field must be protected, which limits events. He confirmed the revenue the city receives from the ballpark falls short of what the city spends to maintain it.
Pridgen said the stands look empty; attendance last season was the lowest in 25 years.
That's because the Mets stink, interjected Council Majority Leader Demone A. Smith.
The New York Mets had been the Buffalo Bisons' parent club. The Bisons recently signed a new deal with the Toronto Blue Jays.
"The Mets had no minor league anything," Smith said.
Andy Rabb, a Stepniak deputy, sat quietly in back of the room. He once worked for the New York City Parks Department and is a Mets fan.
"I'm keeping my mouth shut this whole conversation," Rabb said.
Everyone's a critic
Here's how a critic might describe movie reviewer Michael Calleri's exit at the Niagara Falls Reporter:
"A riveting, insider's account of a life in journalism and his ultimate betrayal. An electrifying drama, a haunting story of escape."
OK, so we don't expect anyone to bring Calleri's life to the big screen. But his post on Roger Ebert's website (Rogerebert.com) has led to a national dustup over his former boss' views on women in Hollywood. Calleri said he was to be interviewed today on "CBS This Morning: Saturday."
Why all the fuss?
In the blog, Calleri disclosed an email he received from Frank Parlato, editor and publisher of the weekly, in which Parlato said, "I don't want to publish reviews of films where women are alpha and men are beta, where women are heroes and villains and men are just lesser versions or shadows of females."
Calleri wrote that his relationship with the paper "ended because a guy who has no professional journalistic experience, and a warped view of humanity, does not like strong women."
"I would like to make clear that I was not condemning 'power women' but 'degenerate power women,' a point wholly missed by Calleri," Parlato replied in his publication.
Parlato went on to condemn the "violence, vulgarity, gender bashing, moronic sex acts on the screen, racial bashing, violent women, violent men and promiscuous men and women" now the common fare of Hollywood.
Parlato said Calleri "churned out a weekly column of drivel."
Forget thumbs-up or thumbs-down. They're thumbing noses at each other.
Numbers don't lie
Nice try. But the numbers don't back up the boast.
College basketball brings out the creativity in rival students. At Tuesday's Canisius vs. University of Buffalo mens' game at the Koessler Center, Canisius kids got in the faces of their UB counterparts sitting across the gym.
During one break, a cluster of gold-shirted Griffins dissed the blue-shirted UB faithful by chanting the academic put-down, "Safety School, Safety School."
Sorry, but Off-Main calls a foul on Canisius. UB may indeed be a safety school – a school that applicants are reasonably assured of getting into – for many high school seniors. But the numbers reveal that applicants can place an even safer bet on admission if they apply to – you guessed it – Canisius.
According to the college information website CollegeProwler.com, the median SAT score of incoming freshman at UB is 1160 (out of 1600). That's better than Canisius' 1100.
More selective? UB wins again. It accepts 51 percent of applicants; at Canisius, 75 percent are accepted.
The Griffins, however, got the last laugh Tuesday, beating UB, 71-64.

What is now known as the 'Arab spring' has had a dramatic ripple effect all over the region, still in upheaval to different extents. Although women were prominent actors of those upheavals, issues of non-discrimination, equality and women's rights face difficulties to be included in the frameworks of ongoing and/or upcoming constitutional reform processes. Moreover, in many countries retaliation against women has been brutal, ranging from rapes to virginity tests to imprisonment and torture.
The international community is playing a significant role both in terms of diplomacy as well as direct support and selective media coverage. "The Arab spring" has created new international interests as well as new funding pots. What are the implications for the peoples of these countries and for women's rights in particular?
To discuss these issues with other women leaders from the region as well as with women activists from the European Union, the WIDE Network, in close partnership with the Collective for Research and Training for Development – Action (CRTD-A), is delighted to invite you to its Annual Conference "Women's Rights and Gender Equality amidst the 'Arab Springs'" to be held on 27-28 October 2011, in Brussels, Belgium.

Just because money is available does not mean we have to spend it. That's why the county and country are in the fiscal shape they're in.
Mac Thrower's column on SunRail is dead on target.
I was born and raised in Winter Park. I bought a home in New Smyrna Beach 21 years ago and became a full-time resident 10 years ago. I still have family in Winter Park, and travel there frequently. SunRail will never reach expectations and it will do Winter Park no good. It has been U.S. Rep. John Mica's pipe dream for the last 12 years.
My wife and I flew regularly to Golden Triangle Regional Airport in central Mississippi for the last 25 years. When the airport opened in 1983, the terminal consisted of three construction trailers/portable buildings for 10 years. Delta, American, Northwest and United airlines utilized the airport with commuter service from Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis and St. Louis. As the airport grew, permanent buildings of small scale were added. U.S. Rep. Sonny Montgomery had a small office in the terminal trailer complex.
My point is this: Why the rush to build a building that may never serve a vital function? This goes along with the proposed local train station. A platform is needed, but a station can be a temporary building with a life of five years. If the service warrants a bigger facility later on, so be it; local governments always have to have the horse pushing the cart in Volusia County.
There is no reason that the SunRail stations cannot be of this type. Just because money is available does not mean we have to spend it. That's why the county and country are in the fiscal shape they're in.
Take a look at the Golden Triangle airport. We should learn from others!
New Smyrna Beach
If you have driven down Granada Boulevard between Beach Street and U.S. 1 lately, it has become an obstacle course.
The newly installed middle islands are protected by orange and white barrels — because if they weren't there, there would be more tires curbing the edges of the newly poured cement curbs that narrowed the street. Then they also poured some ridiculous cement islands that go out from the sidewalks into the street — and are very difficult to see.
The only benefit I see with this latest construction is that it will give tow truck services more opportunity for overtime. I hope this issue is looked into before some serious problems occur.
Ormond Beach
In his "Florida Voices" column of March 24, U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis states that "We need patient-centered health reform that promotes competition, lower costs and quality outcomes." While he says that Obamacare is "an impediment to true reform," he does not articulate an alternative approach beyond claiming that he is "fighting for freedom, principle and the prevention of Obamacare."
Let me offer a more concrete objective that Rep. DeSantis, as an advocate of free markets and competition, can surely support — improving the transparency and accountability of hospital billing. I suggest that he start by reading a critical Time magazine cover story published Feb. 20, "Bitter pill: why medical bills are killing us." In the article, reporter Steven Brill examined the role that chargemasters or charge description masters (CDMs) play in the American health care system's cost crisis.
I experienced the problem firsthand two years ago, following a stay at a local hospital. Having spent many years administering large, complex construction projects, often with hundreds of subcontractors and suppliers, I was flummoxed in my attempt to simply understand what I was paying for and why some of the hospital's and its separate service provider's charges were discounted and not others.
When I asked the hospital or the insurance company for answers, it was apparent that, as a patient, I had little or no power to break into this "kabuki dance."
I understand the political benefits to DeSantis of demagoguing Obamacare; however, if DeSantis is serious about promoting "competition, lower costs, and quality outcomes," he will advocate for the transparency and accountability of hospital billing, whether inside or outside the Affordable Care Act.
Ormond Beach
OK, boys and girls, it's time to read the bill.
The Affordable Health Care Act goes into effect in 2014. I can't really refer to it as affordable health care, since I got hit with a 2.3 percent tax increase Jan. 1 of this year from medical device manufacturers. So I will refer to it, like many, as Obamacare.
I recall the famous quote from our beloved then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, "But we have to pass the (health care) bill so that you can find out what's in it." Well, now it's time for our legislators to read the bill. There's only a few months left.
Like the old college days of final exams, no matter how much you procrastinate, you still have to study the material, even if it involves a few all-nighters, or you will suffer the consequences.
Or, since Obamacare does not apply to members of Congress, do they believe there are no consequences?
Even so, they should step up to the plate, do the American thing and read the bill.
As for good old Nancy, I have a suggestion. On her numerous trips cross-country, she surely has some downtime. How about throwing in a copy of the bill to read on the plane. Better yet, since she upped for a larger jet a few years back (on the taxpayers' dime) she should have a little more room.
She can think of it as a bedtime story, a fairytale. As she drifts in and out, maybe, like osmosis, some of it will hit a little gray matter.
I'm certain there are some in Washington who have read the bill. I mean the ones who wrote it, read it — right?

If you have high blood pressure – also called "hypertension," the DASH diet is for you. According to research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the DASH diet has been proven to lower blood pressure in just 2 weeks! Research also shows that the DASH diet reduces blood cholesterol - a major risk factor in the development of heart disease.
The DASH Diet, which stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, is a plant-based eating plan that is rich in:
It is also low in:
For more information about the DASH Diet, please visit DASH: A Heart-healthy Diet.
The DASH diet is a healthy way to lower blood pressure and other diseases. Here are some easy ways to follow the DASH diet:
Researchers have found that foods high in potassium and calcium help reduce blood pressure. Many of the foods in the DASH diet happen to be high in these 2 minerals.
Potassium is a mineral that helps maintain heart function. Foods high in potassium are often recommended for people taking diuretics, or "water pills" - a medication used in the treatment of high blood pressure. High potassium foods are also loaded with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which are beneficial to overall health. High potassium foods include both fresh fruits and fresh or frozen vegetables.
Fruits that top the list are:
Vegetables high in potassium include:
Unfortunately, most of us do not eat enough vegetables in our diet. The DASH diet recommends 4-5 servings of fresh fruit and 4-5 servings of vegetables daily.
Calcium is another mineral that helps maintain heart function. A diet high in calcium has also been linked with a reduction in blood pressure. High calcium, low-fat foods include:
For those with lactose intolerance or milk allergy, other foods high in calcium include:
A diet high in calcium is also recommended to prevent the destructive bone disease, osteoporosis. The DASH diet recommends 3 servings of low fat milk products each day.
Many people think that decreasing their salt intake is the only way to control high blood pressure. Other changes in diet, however, are equally important for controlling high blood pressure. In fact, weight loss is even more beneficial. Being overweight raises your risk of high blood pressure 2 to 6 times more than if you are at normal weight. Being obese also makes it more likely that you will develop:
A weight loss of just 10 pounds can improve your:
By following the DASH diet, you can safely reach and keep a healthy weight – and at the same time control your blood pressure.
The DASH diet is suggested by the National High Blood Pressure Education Program and is supported by the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association. It was developed in 1996 by researchers at several medical centers across the United States:
Controlling your blood pressure is vital in preventing these complications.

Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes – Encore Review
In a futuristic world dominated by soulless machine soldiers, music is the key to unlocking the power of humanity's freedom fighters. Of course, there are still plenty of swords and axes lying around. Those help the cause a bit.
Square-Enix's Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes – Encore (yikes) is an iPhone/iPod Touch adaptation of 2008's Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes for the wheel-bearing iPod. Both Song Summoner games are turn-based strategy RPGs with a unique musical theme; instead of bossing around the standard soldiers or knights, lead man Ziggy is put in charge of 'Tune Troopers,' who are capable of unleashing audio hell upon the mechanical fiends who have overrun the world.
Granted, the Tune Troopers still fill standard RPG roles– they're your average knights, lancers, mages, and warriors. They're just born of your iPhone's music playlist, and they have some admittedly wicked character designs going on. Given Song Summoner: Encore's unusual setting and fun artwork, it's disappointing to break down just how basic the game actually is. But that's not an entirely bad thing. If you like your turn-based RPGs as an easy-going vanilla experience, Song Summoner – Encore is a very solid distraction. If you're looking for something far out and super-challenging, you probably won't want to drop the ten bucks Square-Enix is asking for.
Eat Prince, robot scum!
Song Summoner – Encore stars a silver-haired boy named Ziggy whose little brother, Zero, is kidnapped by a music-hating machine militia. Ziggy trains over a five-year period to become a conductor, a specialized warrior who can create and order around 'Tune Troopers.' Ziggy also pairs up with one of the machines, a renegade he names Z.E.R.O. Together, they track down the militia's top generals and unravel the whereabouts of Zero.
Song Summoner – Encore isn't a mere port of the original Song Summoner for the iPod. Encore is spliced with an unreleased Song Summoner sequel, and provides twenty to thirty hours of gameplay. Your rate of play will depend on how much you schmooze around in the Rehearsal Room (the requisite training area for your troops), and how patient you are about creating new Tune Troopers.
Truth is, Tune Troopers should be the most compelling feature of Song Summoner – Encore, but it feels random and impersonal. You can grow fighters out of your playlist, and experimenting with different genres will supposedly yield all sorts of fun classes. There are five basic Jobs (Soldier, Mage, Monk, Archer, Knight/Lancer), and each Job breaks down further with different sub-classes featuring unique artwork (for instance, you might get a Hip-Hop Monk versus a plain old Monk).
Unfortunately, there's no real way to tell how your choices in music influence character creation. Scrapping a song warrior and choosing the same song again may well yield a completely different fighter, even if it's in the same Job class. Listening to a fighter's birth song outside the game will help power it up, but it takes a lot of listening to make the process worthwhile. Believe it or not, it is possible to get sick of Sister of Mercy's 'Temple of Love.'
Our imperfection is that our hair goes white at a young age.
Fighting is pretty basic. Your warrior can wheel though the basic turn-based RPG commands: Fight, Skill, Move, Wait, and Item. Spells are the usual fire/ice/thunder fare with some augmented physical attacks. Spell names are fun, however, including 'Shot Thru the Heart' for an Archer, 'Throw It All Away' for a Knight, and 'Let It Snow' for a Mage's ice attack.
The game's battle terrain likewise holds nothing new and exciting, but with names like 'Electric Ladyland' and 'The Joshua Tree,' it's worth waiting on the next battle just to see how closely Squaresoft dares to poke its toe in the RIAA's direction.
Song Summoner – Encore has a great soundtrack and energetic sound effects, but the graphics are a mixed success. The character portraits are as flamboyant as you'd expect Square-Enix artwork to be, but given the game's musically-charged setting, the over-the-top designs work well. The sprite work, however, isn't very impressive. Zoomed way out, they call back to the 16-bit era. Zoomed in, they're a jumble of pixels. Worse still, tapping on a particular character and getting them to move to a designated spot is often hit-and-miss, no matter how delicately you work your way around the touch screen.
Song Summoner – Encore is a fine title to pick up if you're looking for a basic turn-based RPG that will keep you busy for a decent amount of time. But given the game's premise, it's a little disappointing to discover that it doesn't dance to a different tune.

Ramses I, Ramses also spelled Ramesses or Rameses, (flourished 14th century bce), king of ancient Egypt (reigned 1292–90 bce), founder of the 19th dynasty (1292–1190 bce) of Egypt.
Ramses I (ruled 1292–90
Probably descended from a nonroyal military family from the northeast Egyptian delta, Ramses found favour with Horemheb, the last king of the 18th dynasty (1539–1292 bce), who was also a military man. As the elderly king had no son of his own, he made Ramses coregent not long before his own death. By then Ramses also was of advanced age, but his son, Seti I, was in the prime of life.
In 1292 Ramses I ascended the throne and shortly thereafter made Seti his coregent to help him assume some of the more rigorous royal duties. While his son planned campaigns against Syria in an attempt to regain Egypt's lost possessions there, Ramses completed the decoration of the second pylon and its vestibule in the great Karnak temple of the national god, Amon, at Thebes, which was built and partly decorated by his predecessor. He was also involved in the building of the great colonnaded hall in the temple at Karnak and had begun its decoration just before his death in 1290.
Inscriptions reveal that Ramses reigned about one year and four months. He was buried in a small hastily prepared tomb in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes. Later, during a time of political upheaval, the mummy was disinterred and moved to a secret resting place. In the late 19th century that tomb was rediscovered, but the king's remains had already been removed by looters. In 1999 a museum in Atlanta, Georgia, obtained a mummy, apparently that of Ramses, from a small museum in Niagara Falls, Canada, where it had been located since the mid-19th century. In 2003 the mummy was returned to Egypt.

Rialto Theatre
2723 San Pablo Avenue,
1 person favorited this theater
Showing 7 comments
The theatre was showing "Crime in the Streets" on October 7, 1956 when a brawl occurred. The theatre was padlocked and did not reopen. In 1957, it became home to Saint's Rest Baptist Church which had taken over the Rialto. They used the projection system to screen, "Noah's Ark." After being put up for sale,it was home to Immanuel Missionary Baptist Church and St. Paul Baptist from 1960 to at least 1965.
1940s photo added via Philip Duhe.
Street View needs to shift just a bit right to get a full frontal view of the Rialto's building, now the Miraculous Word Christian Center.
The July 4, 1914, issue of The Moving Picture World said that J. W. Jespersen and A. C. Dippo's new, 400-seat theater on San Pablo Avenue at 27th Street was to be opened on July 27. As it is listed with 740 seats it was obviously expanded at some point. Possibly the 1915 opening gsmurph cites was a reopening after an expansion. It was not unknown for theaters to be expanded within a year or two of opening in those days.
My father, J.W. Jespersen, and A.C. Dippo, my uncle were co-owners of the Rialto for a number of years. I knew the "show" from my earliest days until it was sold to Helene Madsen. I am not sure of the year, but intend to research more information and post it in the future.
The Rialto opened in 1915 as the Avenue (presumably after San Pablo Avenue), named Rialto in 1922, renamed New Rialto in 1935, but apparently reverted to Rialto before closing in 1956.
After a period of abandonment, the Rialto was converted in the late 1970's into a neighborhood church. Not sure if that church is still in operation (at least at that location); but the building still stands.

Xonar D2(X) EEPROM Failure
Sometimes, Xonar D2 or D2X cards randomly fail to be recognized.
The driver refused to load or to install, and in Device Manager, the card is shown as an unknown sound card or as "C-Media Oxygen audio device". Putting the card into another slot or another computer does not help.
This happens when the EEPROM on the card gets overwritten.
(This EEPROM stores the PCI subsystem vendor and product IDs; when it gets overwritten, the main chip cannot read the subsystem IDs and uses a default ID (13F6:8788) which is not recognized by the Xonar driver.)
The exact cause is unknown.
There was a guess that the EEPROM chip can misinterpret certain signals if they happen together with eletrical noise, but the EEPROM is protected against that.
It seems that the problem occurs only with certain computers or motherboards.
Restoring the EEPROM
I have written a small Linux program that tries to restore the original contents of the EEPROM:
- boot Linux (either from hard drisk or from a live CD);
- download the package directly from <http://www.alsa-project.org/~clemens/oxygen_restore_eeprom.tar.gz>, or download it from Windows and copy it over with a USB stick;
- open a console;
- unpack the package:
tar xvzf oxygen_restore_eeprom.tar.gz
cd oxygen_restore_eeprom
- run the program, as root:
- either run first
su, then
- or run
sudo ./oxygen_restore_eeprom_32
- either run first
- follow the instructions on the screen.
The package also contains a 64-bit version (
oxygen_restore_eeprom_64) for the unlikely case that you're running a 64-bit-only Linux.
Please [tell me] if it worked.
Bug Reports
So far, five users have reported this problem:

This driver tries to protect against the problem, but it is probable that the problem occurs before any driver is loaded and that this new driver won't be any help.

Before & After: Guest Bed Makeover
Tess from Cozy Little Cave DIY'd her way to a fabulous guest bed for her spare room: I recently re-finshed an old vintage bed frame I scored on Craigslist for a steal. The finish wasn't in spectacular condition and it was really the shape I was interested in, so I decided to paint…
…I was a little worried about my bold color choice (although that's nothing new for me), but I'm thrilled with how it turned out! I feel like it looks so much more high end now and has personality galore!

Facebook's announcement is nearly upon us, but in the meantime here's a much smaller update the social network has rolled out. The "Subscriber" language has now been changed to "Follower," a change we heard Facebook would be making about a month ago.
It looked like we caught Facebook in the middle of swapping its users over to the "followers" module. If you take a look at the screen shot above you'll see that the number of followers isn't positioned quite correctly and its font is much smaller than usual. Typically the subscriber module displays a blown up count number that fits the width and height of the tile. Not only this, but when you click on the follower module you'll notice that now the follower counts are separated by "Followers" and "Followers via Lists," with the latter being a feed of updates from lists of users.
On a another minor note, it looks like Facebook is testing out an updated time stamp that separates the year from the date that a photo was published. We found this by clicking through a friend's cover photo. Here you'll notice a clock icon next to where the privacy setting normally sits. The date that you can see immediately is the year that photo was published, but to see the exact day of the week, date, and year, you have to hover over the clock icon, like you would with the privacy setting icon.
We've reached out to Facebook to confirm these changes and we'll update this article with any response.

Defensive end Michael Sam, hoping to become the first openly gay athlete to play in a regular-season NFL game, was signed Wednesday to the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad, the team said.
Coach Jason Garrett told a news conference that the Cowboys brought the rookie from Missouri in to see if he could help the team. Sam was cut last week by the St. Louis Rams, who had drafted him in the seventh round out of Missouri last April.
"We have had nothing but good reports about him from our people and people in St. Louis," Garrett said. "We just want to give him a chance to come in and see if he can help our football team."
Sam later took to the team's practice field in Irving, Texas, outside Dallas, wearing a No. 46 Cowboys jersey.
The 6-feet-2, 260-pound Sam became the first openly gay player to be selected in the NFL draft. But despite his success at Missouri, talent evaluators have said Sam might struggle in the NFL - perhaps too small to play regularly on the defensive line and not athletic enough to play as a linebacker.
"He was a very good player in college. His track record speaks for itself," Garrett said.
Garrett said he did not want to dwell on a practice squad move, and about 15 minutes into the news conference said it had already been talked about too much.
"It's about football now," Garrett said, deflecting a question about sexual orientation.
Sam, a Hitchcock, Texas, native, arrived in Dallas Tuesday night to take a physical.
"It has all happened so quickly, but it's exciting, I just wanna get back to playing football you know," Sam said Tuesday night, according to ESPN.com. "I haven't had chance to speak to any of my family yet, not even my mom, but I will. I never followed the Cowboys growing up because I never had a team. I am a fan of defenses and Dallas need some help, that's why I'm going."
The Cowboys' defense gave up the most yards (6,645) in their history last season and the third most in NFL history.
Sam was not included on the Rams' 10-player practice squad roster that was finalized Monday after final cuts to the 53-man roster limit last weekend.
"It was a football decision and it was no different than any other decision that we make," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. "It was a football decision back in May to draft Mike. And once again, it's been all about football. I will tell you this: I was pulling for Mike. I really was. I don't say that very often, but Mike came in here and did everything that we asked him to do."

New program provides standard porting environment and integration services to the developer community and speeds time-to-market for complex designs
Cambridge, UK and TOKYO, JAPAN – Oct. 22, 2002 – ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMHY)], the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor solutions, today announced the PrimeXsys™ Community Program at the ARM Forum in Japan. The initiative extends the ARM® Partnership to developers supporting the PrimeXsys Platform and represents an addition to other ARM Partnership Programs, which include ATAP™, the ARM technology access program and the ARM Foundry Program.
The ARM PrimeXsys Community Program will provide a range of support services tailored to the design community, making the PrimeXsys Platform an even safer and more compelling choice for developers, semiconductor vendors and OEMs looking for a validated pre-integrated set of IP solutions, which run on a standard open platform. The Program requires the Partner to perform a port of their technology to the platform and submit the result for compatibility checking by ARM. A compatible product will be authorized to use the PrimeXsys logo to readily identify these 'PrimeXsys technology-ready' IP components.
Initially, OS, embedded applications software, platform level modeling and external module support for ARM PrimeXsys Platforms will be available from the Community Partners.
"The PrimeXsys Community Program represents a further extension of ARM's Partnership models to enable IP-component vendors to not only target PrimeXsys Platforms but also collaborate on a standard porting platform,"said George Milne, PrimeXsys Community Program manager, ARM. "For design engineers it means greater access to a set of integrated and pre-validated specialist IP that will speed development time and reduce costs. ARM's PrimeXsys technology offers a fast start to SoC and complex OEM product design, and our new Community Program extends this even further by providing a new standard developer platform."
The PrimeXsys Community Program has been designed to service the requirements of PrimeXsys Platform licensees and their OEM customers. Community Partners, the software and hardware IP providers that integrate their products with the PrimeXsys Platform, or specialist tool/service providers, bring their specialist expertise to PrimeXsys technology-based SoC devices or OEM products. The Program already includes support across Operating Systems, real-time video technology, and modules including Bluetooth™, GPS and DiskOnChip support from a wide range of third-parties including: Accelerated Technology, Alphamosaic Ltd., CoWare Inc., Ericsson Technology Licensing AB, Hi Corporation, LynuxWorks Inc., M-Systems, OSE Systems AB, Trimble Navigation Ltd., and Verisity Ltd.

Lindsay Daly Jamison was a member of the Lipscomb Lady Bisons basketball team that earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament in 2004. She serves as program director for the Youth Life Learning Center here in Nashville working with at-risk youth. Two months ago she married Joshua Jamison. Despite her demanding schedule she found time to answer some questions for Lipscombsports.com.
What sport did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I played basketball from 2001-2005 for Coach Frank Bennett and Billy Snell."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"I have so many it's really difficult to choose, but winning the A-Sun tournament is definitely at the top of my list as well as playing in the NCAA tournament."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"All of my coaches played a great part in molding and shaping me during my time at Lipscomb. They lived and coached with integrity and it was easy to trust their leadership because of that.
"On a non-athletic side, Kelley Wade Owens also played a huge role in my life and continues to be one of my closest friends. She took the time to disciple me and challenge me in my relationship with God. I grew so much spiritually and helped sure up the Biblical foundation I live my life on."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"I would have to say the trip to South Dakota Reservation or attending Campus Harvest with a group of Lipscomb students. Campus Harvest is a conference put on by Every Nation ministries each year with college students coming from all over the country. It was amazing to gain new friendships and hear what God was doing on campuses all over the United States!"
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"During my time at Lipscomb I found what I was called to do. Through practicum experiences and our class to the Reservation in South Dakota, I realized that one of my greatest passions is working with children and families living in oppressed situations. That directly influenced the career choice I took coming out of college."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"I had some really great professors during my four years, but Dr. Jones was one of my favorites. He led our class trip to Piney Ridge, S.D. which was by far my favorite class at Lipscomb!"
Where do you live now?
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"I am the Program Director for the Youth Life Learning Center. We provide faith-based, after-school programming for at-risk youth. We focus heavily on individualized academic and character development and work with our students' school teachers and families to make sure they have supports they need. I oversee our 10 teachers, provide professional development, network with other community leaders to collaborate, and share about YLLC with potential volunteers and stakeholders."
Tell us about your family.
"I just got married two months ago to Joshua Jamison. He is a graphic designer here in Nashville as well as a worship leader and singer/song writer.
"My father is working for the U.S. Government and is in Afghanistan for the next year. My mom is a photographer and lives in Arizona with my youngest brother, Logan, who is in college.
"Ryan now owns his own video business, 29Eleven Productions and is here in Nashville. Ian is in his first year of Flight School at Fort Rucker in Alabama."
Lindsay's e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fla. City OKs Luxury Resort After Long Debate
March 12, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Fla. City OKs Luxury Resort After Long Debate
Recreational vehicle parks are now allowed in Cape Coral, Fla., paving the way for a nearly 200-acre luxury RV resort.
The Fort Myers News-Press reported that the Cape Coral City Council voted Monday (March 12) to establish a land use classification for the parks and set the minimum guidelines for projects. In August, council directed the city manager to draft the necessary changes to the city's land use regulations to make the parks possible and Monday's ordinance put them into effect.
The only RV park in the pipeline is The Resort at Tranquility Lake, a 188-acre site off Burnt Store Road. The proposed resort, estimated to cost between $27 million and $30 million, will feature 250 lodging sites — down from 330 — an 87-acre lake, several pools, restaurants, a clubhouse and spa, mini golf, dog parks and other recreational options, some of which will be open to the public, according to developers.
Cliff Repperger, vice president of Avalon Engineering, said the site will draw the attention of RV enthusiasts across the country.
"I'll put a lot of publicity on Cape Coral, a lot of RV people, a lot of RV magazines and everything," Repperger said. "They'll be focusing on Cape Coral. So I'm expecting big things."
To avoid smaller, less-desirable parks, council members adopted several proposed changes to the ordinance Monday, including a minimum size of 75 acres and a maximum lodging time of six months.
Council members also confirmed the project had, in fact, changed its name from The Resort at Burnt Store Lake to avoid potential mix-ups by emergency workers because of a community in south Charlotte County named Burnt Store Lakes.
Resident Rick Williams, who lives on Old Burnt Store Road, said the project provides a nice contrast to other recent developments.
"It's a good example of moving on from the gas stations and convenience stores that seem to be popping up here," Williams said.

Drug Warehouse, 1930 N. Kickapoo, will close its doors permanently Monday, September 24. Drug Warehouse is owned by USA Drug, which was purchased by Walgreens.
Drug Warehouse, 1930 N. Kickapoo, will close its doors permanently Monday, September 24. Drug Warehouse is owned by USA Drug, which was purchased by Walgreens.
Walgreens is the largest drug store chain in the United States.
The structure was built specifically for Drug Warehouse, and is less than two years old.
There are no current plans to reopen the store as a Walgreens, Jim Graham, Walgreens spokesman said.
Employees of Drug Warehouse will not be held over, however Graham expects jobs to open up within Walgreens.
"We will give priority status to their job applications," Graham said of those whose positions were eliminated.
This store was one of 22 USA Drug stores to close in Oklahoma. Nine will remain open in the Tulsa area.
"Our decisions about store closures are based on a number of considerations, including size of the market and proximity to other Walgreens and USA Drug stores and affiliates," Graham said in an email.
Shawnee has two Walgreens within a few miles of the Drug Warehouse location.
The sale will have little impact on Drug Warehouse customers, Graham said.
"When a store is closed, all customers will be notified of the location of a nearby Walgreens or USA Drug-affiliated store where their prescription information will be transferred. No other action is needed by pharmacy customers to have their existing prescriptions filled at any Walgreens store," he added.
The 144-store chain was purchased for approximately $438 million, and the closing occurred Monday, Graham said.
Drug Warehouse officials did not return calls Tuesday.
With the closing of Drug Warehouse will leave two Walgreens, one CVS, and several other small pharmacies in Shawnee.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
Aviyn - "Merry Go Round"
About The Video:
We wanted to depict how people get stuck in the same relationships over and over. You finish one bad abusive relationship only to end up in another again the next time. This idea was portrayed within three different dream sequences. Three different women wake up finding themselves in the presence of a 'killer.' The only way to escape the situation is to find their way back to their bed again and fall asleep. The 'killer' represents that abusive boyfriend so many women find themselves with, the one they hate to be with but can't get away from. Many people seem to find themselves in the same cycle, a 'Merry Go Round,' if you will. Find the full song lyrics in the YouTube video description!
Artist Bio:
Aviyn are from a small town outside of the Tulsa, OK area. Their small town surroundings have helped play a substantial role in their ability to be so diligent in the music and the chance to perfect the band sonically. Their music is about people and Aviyn dedicates themselves to the music that they create and to the people who support them.
With Aviyn being self-taught musicians, they have an extensive catalog of influences ranging across various genres and time periods. Many bands including Underoath, Atreyu and Killswitch Engage have really helped lay the ground roots for which Aviyn has built their musical consciousness on.
Aviyn has been writing songs together since 2006. Some of these songs have made it to their live shows and some have never left the practice area, but all of them have been a result of the band wanting to share an honest piece of themselves with their fans. The band can't imagine not being able to write music or not being able to connect with fans and music lovers alike.
In the past three years Aviyn has released two demos, Better off Dead in 2009 and Reflections in 2010. During which the band has played on a handful of tours and hundreds of shows with bands such as Asking Alexandria, Motionless in White, Oh Sleeper, Jamie's Elsewhere, It Dies Today, 36 Crazyfists, August Burns Red, The Misfits, and many others. Aviyn has just released their debut self titled full length album, which was produced, mixed and mastered by Nick Sampson. (I Am Abomination, In Fear and Faith, and Adestria0. The album reached #20 on the CMJ Loud Rock Chart, which for an unsigned band is quite a feat.

A prototype Super Hi-Vision camera from Japanese public broadcaster NHK, on show at the International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam, has shown off the advantages of both higher resolution and faster frame rates than current TVs and broadcast video cameras are capable of.
Engadget has a video of the setup being demonstrated at IBC — a Super Hi-Vision broadcast camera prototype shooting live video of a still life scene, with fast-moving images displayed on a 120Hz computer monitor scrolling sideways in a carousel.
The video is then shown on twin side-by-side 4K TVs, with one running at 60Hz and one running at 120Hz. While the difference isn't visible in the video — which itself is shooting at 30 frames per second, cancelling out the visible effect of the 120Hz 8K camera — Engadget writer Zach Honig says the difference is easily visible:
"...because the higher frequency comes directly from the source, it appears perfectly natural, and much more pleasant... you can take us on our word -- the improvement is quite dramatic."
Engadget also has a gallery of photos that demonstrate the effect that shooting video at a 120Hz native frame rate means. The fifth and six pictures show markedly more detail on the 4K TV that's showing 120Hz versus the one that's showing 60Hz.
LCD televisions with 120Hz native refresh rates (100Hz in Australia, where AC power runs at 50Hz rather than the 60Hz of Japan and the US) are becoming more common, but there is precious little content to display that uses the screens' full potential.
Even the cinematic world is slowly but surely moving towards faster refresh rates, with Peter Jackson's adaptation of the J.R.R. Tolkien classic The Hobbit being shot at 48Hz rather than the industry standard 24Hz.
The UHDTV standard, with 8K resolution at 120Hz, was recently approved by the International Telecommunications Union, the UN body responsible for setting video format standards.
NHK hopes to begin trial broadcasts of the format by 2020.

I have a question about online buying? For a mom and pop company, what is the best service to offer your customers the ability to buy something?
VeriSign Online Payment Solutions is what I usually recommend.
"Data is not necessarily information. Information does not necessarily lead to knowledge. And knowledge is not always sufficient to discover truth and breed wisdom." --Spaf
Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do the job. --Douglas Adams (1952-2001)
"...people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right." - Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
Hey Hey,
I'm a big fan of PayPal's Business Services for Business Transactions... That way you can accept both paypal and credit cards.. They provide quite a few features and a large amount of functionality... and all they charge is 2.5% per transaction, although apparently if you do large numbers of transactions, that number drops...
IT Blog: .:Computer Defense:.
PnCHd (Pronounced Pinched): Acronym - Point 'n Click Hacked. As in: "That website was pinched" or "The skiddie pinched my computer because I forgot to patch".
HTRegz makes a good recommendation as well. I also recall seeing a news blurb where Google might be launching a pay-service to compete with PayPal.
I liked VeriSign's offering because it is more of a turn-key solution, depending on what you get. It can include SSL, payment processing, etc. It simply depends on the needs of your particular MomAndPop operation. If they are techincally savvy and don't mind managing the SSL stuff themselves, there are likely even more cost effective solutions out there, but they'd have to do more on their own.
Best of luck.
Thanks zencoder and HTRegz; have to check these out.

UED6062, New November 1980
Missouri CourthousesContact and other information about this county is available on the National Association of Counties website, http://explorer.naco.org/.
Editor's noteThe printed version of this publication includes illustrations. Check at left for availability.
Maries County organized in 1855 and built its first courthouse the following year. Robert McKin, of California, Missouri, constructed the brick, two-story building, which measured 40 by 44 feet, for $3,000. It faced east and stood close to the street on the edge of the square. A fire, believed to have been set intentionally, destroyed the building and most records Nov. 6, 1868.
In March 1869 the court appropriated $10,000 for construction of a new courthouse, to be built in the center of the square (Figure 1). George A. Lett, of St. James, contracted to build the courthouse and completed his work in February 1870. The two-story building, with simple gable roof, resembled the previous structure. A double stairway on the north led to the courtroom on the second floor. The building continued in use until the 20th century courthouse was built.
Figure 1Maries County Courthouse, 1869-1940. (From: postcard, Trenton Boyd collection)
In December 1939 Maries County considered a new three-story courthouse, 115 by 80 feet, of Missouri stone and concrete. About $90,000 was the investment considered: Work Projects Administration funding $50,000, supplemented by a bond issue proposal for $40,000. The following month the Belle Banner urged community support; the editorial cautioned that federal aid would not last forever. County residents voted approval in January 1940.
The architect was Macon C. Abbitt. Allan Bethel, Jefferson City, was foreman of construction. Excavations began in June 1940. It was built in two stages. County offices occupied the first unit, while the second unit, which extended to the south was finished. The jail occupied the top story. The September court term of 1942 met in the $76,000 courthouse (Figure 2).

Chelsea Higgins
Hometown: Ridgefield, Conn.
Major: Biochemistry
WCSU Degree: Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry
Internships: Chemistry-related internship at ATMI, Inc.
Activities: Chemistry Club, including chemistry tutoring; Tutoring Resource Center, physics tutoring; supplementary instructor for Survey of Chemistry; laboratory teacher's assistant for organic chemistry
Honors and Awards: Polyed Outstanding Achievement in Organic Chemistry Award, Division of Analytical Chemistry American Chemical Society Undergraduate Award, Boehringer Ingelheim Outstanding Achievement in Biochemistry Award, 3.93 GPA
In 2004, Chelsea Higgins received a Bachelor of Arts in electronic media from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. She worked in the entertainment industry for a year before deciding to go back to college at WestConn. "I specifically came to WestConn for chemistry," she says. "I chose the university out of pure convenience because it offers affordable tuition and allowed me to further save money by living at home; but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the chemistry department. Originally, I just wanted to take a summer to explore the possibility of going back to school for science, which was an early interest of mine -- I was a Boehringer Ingelheim scientific scholar in high school. I enrolled in two classes between television seasons and decided to stay permanently."
It took Higgins three years to complete her biochemistry degree. "I basically only have had to take science classes (and gym) since I was able to transfer over most of my GenEds from another degree."
Higgins says Assistant Professor of Chemistry Dr. Alycen Nigro has been not only her research mentor, "but she has also been a valuable resource for me throughout the graduate school application process."
Asked what she will remember most about her WestConn experience, Higgins says, "Working as an assistant with Professor of Chemistry Dr. Paul Hines in the organic lab was a memorable experience for me. The formulation of my current career goal to be a university professor was greatly influenced by the time I spent working with other chemistry students in that setting."
After graduation, Higgins plans to earn a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. "The school choice is actually not an official decision, but it's the front-runner right now," she says."
Higgin's advice to new students entering WCSU is: "WestConn is unique in the accessibility of the faculty to the students, especially in the chemistry department, where one-on-one attention from faculty members is not rare. It is a great chance to form relationships with people who are already professionals in the field of your interest. I would advise incoming students to take advantage of this opportunity and really get to know their professors and benefit from their experience."

Last year of issues are often saved in quantity and this one certainly was, though most of the 1941 to 1947 issues were saved by the roll as well. This issue is in the middle of the rarity for the 1941 to 1947 Denver issues in MS64 and MS65 condition, but it the rarest of the seven D Mints of the 1940s in MS66 or better condition. The typical mint state specimen has white luster and is well struck.

Early in 1960 Martin Luther King, Jr. moved his family, which now included two children, Yolanda and Martin Luther King, III, to Atlanta in order to be nearer SCLC headquarters in that city and to become co-pastor, with his father, of Ebenezer Baptist Church. The Kings' third child, Dexter, was born in 1961, and their fourth, Bernice, in 1963.
In 1961-62, Dr. and Mrs. King helped lead protests against racial injustice in Albany, Georgia.
During 1963, King reasserted his preeminence within the African-American freedom struggle through his leadership of the Birmingham campaign. Initiated by SCLC and its affiliate, the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights, the Birmingham demonstrations were the most massive civil rights protest that had yet occurred. With the assistance of Fred Shuttlesworth and other local black leaders and with little competition from SNCC and other civil rights groups, SCLC officials were able to orchestrate the Birmingham protests to achieve maximum national impact. King's decision to intentionally allow himself to be arrested for leading a demonstration on 12 April prodded the Kennedy administration to intervene in the escalating protests.
A widely quoted "Letter from Birmingham Jail" displayed his distinctive ability to influence public opinion by appropriating ideas from the Bible, the Constitution, and other canonical texts. During May, televised pictures of police using dogs and fire hoses against young demonstrators generated a national outcry against white segregationist officials in Birmingham. The brutality of Birmingham officials and the refusal of Alabama governor George C. Wallace to allow the admission of black students at the University of Alabama prompted President Kennedy to introduce major civil rights legislation.
King's speech at the 28 August 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom attended by more than 200,000 people, was the culmination of a wave of civil rights protest activity that extended even to northern cities. Closing his address with extemporaneous remarks, he insisted that he had not lost hope: "I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream… that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'" He appropriated the familiar words of "My Country 'Tis of Thee" before concluding, "when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last'".
Although there was much elation after the March on Washington, less than a month later, the movement was shocked by another act of senseless violence. On 15 September 1963 a dynamite blast killed four young school girls at Birmingham's Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. King delivered the eulogy for three of the four girls, reflecting, "They say to us that we must be concerned not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life, and the philosophy which produced the murders".
King's ability to focus national attention on orchestrated confrontations with racist authorities, combined with his oration at the 1963 March on Washington, made him the most influential African-American spokesperson of the first half of the 1960s. Named Time magazine's "Man of the Year" at the end of 1963, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in December 1964. The acclaim King received strengthened his stature among civil rights leaders but also prompted Federal Bureau of Investigation director J. Edgar Hoover to step up his effort to damage King's reputation. Hoover, with the approval of President Kennedy and Attorney General Robert Kennedy, established phone taps and bugs.
The Alabama protests reached a turning point on 7 March when state police attacked a group of demonstrators at the start of a march from Selma to the state capitol in Montgomery. Carrying out Governor Wallace's orders, the police used tear gas and clubs to turn back the marchers after they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge on the outskirts of Selma. Unprepared for the violent confrontation, King alienated some activists when he decided to postpone the continuation of the Selma to Montgomery March until he had received court approval, but the march, which finally secured federal court approval, attracted several thousand civil rights sympathizers, black and white, from all regions of the nation. On 25 March King addressed the arriving marchers from the steps of the capitol in Montgomery. The march and the subsequent killing of a white participant, Viola Liuzzo, as well as the earlier murders of Rev. James Reeb and Jimmie Lee Jackson dramatized the denial of black voting rights and spurred passage during the following summer of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

In February, analyst Mike Hickey indicated a PlayStation 3 price drop would hit near the end of the month. Didn't happen. He also passed on speculation that Sony would drop the PS3's Blu-ray drive.
Wait. What? Drop the thing that makes the entirety of the PlayStation 3's physical game library playable? That's what he said. See? "We are also hearing continued speculation that Sony is working on a non-Blu-ray PS3 console, which could enable them to make the aforementioned hardware price reduction," Hickey wrote in a note to investors last month.
Sony says there's no way that's going to happen.
"That would pretty much destroy the PS3's backbone, our games were built on Blu-ray," Sony marketing manager Kim Nguyen tells Business Insider. "Quote that: Blu-ray will always be part of PS3."
Glad we got that sorted out. Also, duh!
