Getting It Right:
ONE HARDLY NEEDS TO BE A SPACE OR TRANSPORTATION planning expert to realize this: Having classes and services on more than one campus presents logistical challenges. Which faculty and staff should be based at the "other" campus? What classes should be held there? What transportation programs are needed? How do you ensure that those heading over there for class don't miss too much on the main campus because of the travel time?
Cecilia Rivers, president of the National Association of Branch Campus Administrators, says class scheduling and space utilization can certainly be issues. Situations where cooperative partnerships exist between administrators on both campuses are best, adds Rivers, also assistant vice president of Western Region Campuses of the University of Central Florida.
When a branch campus doesn't have a full range of facilities, it can seem an undesirable location. "There's always the issue of keeping people tied back to the main campus," says Daniel Paulien, president of Paulien & Associates in Denver, which works with colleges and universities on facilities planning, including the use of space. Yet sometimes faculty and staff reluctant to be based on the other campus admit later to liking where they're at.
Here's how four institutions with multiple campuses approached their individual multicampus space and transportation issues.
Binghamton University, State University of New York: A Downtown Presence
In fall 2007, Binghamton's University Downtown Center opened a few miles from the main campus. But the work for Michelle Ponczek, director of space planning resources, began long before that. Administrators had decided the 74,400-square-foot facility could help solve a space problem on the main campus—three-hour classes taking up multiple time blocks and leaving empty classrooms on some days. By holding nearly all three-hour classes downtown, space on the main campus could be maximized. And students, as well as faculty based on the main campus, might only have to head downtown weekly.
Ponczek used SAS software to analyze course data from the registrar and fit three-hour courses into the standard meeting period times on each day of the week—so students traveling downtown would miss as few class periods back on the main campus as possible.
Officials decided that the College of Community and Public Affairs would be based at the Downtown Center, which includes 11 classrooms, conference areas, offices, a library/computer pod, a lounge, and a coffee kiosk. While some faculty expressed concern about being located there, the new facility and downtown location sounded great to others, Ponczek says.
David Husch, director of Off Campus College and the administrative liaison to Binghamton's student-run bus system, had to ensure students who live on or near campus (including in a newer student apartment complex located between the University Center and main campus) could get downtown and then back to campus 10 minutes prior to the start time of the next period's class. "The idea is that they will only miss the meet time before and meet time after," Ponczek says. Prior to the building's opening, the dean's office sent all students information on travel to and from the Downtown Center.
Initially buses ran every half hour, but they've increased to every 15 minutes, with two runs originating from the main campus, one of which swings by the apartments. The university's 11-bus fleet could handle the new routes, Husch explains. Still, the contract with the bus system—which uses that fleet but is student-managed—had to be renegotiated to account for the extra gas, repairs, and driver time.
Husch's advice about planning for a new branch campus: Start transportation planning early. "People who don't have any knowledge of a bus system just think they can snap their fingers and say, 'Let's have a bus stop here,' " he explains. Those who don't leave enough time for planning "are not going to be happy right off the bat."
Southeast Missouri State University: Dedicated Space for the Arts
Located on the banks of the Mississippi River, Southeast Missouri State acquired its River Campus property in the mid-1990s. By modifying the historic building that existed on the site (originally a seminary) and building a new structure, SEMO created an arts complex for the art, music, and theatre/dance departments, explains Gary Miller, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and the director of the Earl and Margie Holland School of Visual and Performing Arts. "All the students and faculty members in various arts disciplines [are] rubbing shoulders with each other. We used to be on central campus and in different buildings a block or two apart."
About a year before the fall 2007 opening, Miller had scheduling worked out. The biggest space challenge was the need for most traditional classrooms in the morning. Later in the day, he says, "most arts students will be in rehearsal, in studio, or in concert." Based on past enrollments, Miller estimated the number of students who would be at River Campus for every hour of the day up until 10 p.m.
Each academic department submitted the courses it would need and its preferred hours, and then Miller and his assistant created a schedule and checked for conflicts. "Once in a while we had to do some negotiating" with an arts department or with university administrators over, say, start times, says Miller. In spring 2009 one class had to be moved up to central campus.
Arts students are usually at River Campus much of the time. Those in other academic programs may have to take a shuttle down to River for a single course. A student survey helped determine how many students would likely be using the bus system. Miller then met with the Department of Public Safety to formulate routes. From 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., two buses run in each direction per hour.
A decision to allow anyone in town to ride for free "allowed us to get state department of transportation assistance in the financing and acquisition of buses," Miller shares. Central campus already used smaller buses to connect its main part and athletics areas, but larger ones were needed based on anticipated use. For sold-out evening performances, the shuttles take patrons to downtown parking a few blocks away. As for prospective students, the River Campus facilities are "a tremendous recruiting tool," Miller says, adding that the former seminary chapel, now a recital hall, is "breathtaking."
George Mason University (Va.): Distributed University Model
Although George Mason has four campuses, it's mainly the large traditional campus in Fairfax and the Prince William Campus, about 15 miles away and open since 1997, that could mean back and forth travel. Prince William's 124 acres serve 4,000-plus students in four facilities with classrooms, labs, libraries, recreation areas, and other spaces. A performing arts center will open there in the spring.
The scheduling goal: Give students the chance to take more than one class on the same day at Prince William, explains Larry Czarda, assistant vice president for regional campuses. Students in the School of Recreation Health and Tourism tend to be at that campus nearly all of the time.
"We've invested heavily in shuttle systems," Czarda says, with about $3 million being spent this year on a third-party contract. Shuttles (most of them with wireless access) leave hourly for Prince William. There's also a partnership with the City of Fairfax CUE bus system, which students, staff, and faculty can ride for free.
Faculty who teach recreation and tourism, life sciences, nursing, or education split their time between Fairfax and Prince William or are based solely at Prince William, Czarda explains. A hassle? Not necessarily. "Some people really like teaching on multiple campuses," he says. Yet not everyone can be expected to feel that way. "Some believe the core vibrancy of our main campus in Fairfax is where they need to be at all times," he adds.
As for prospective students—particularly those considering a major where a split between campuses is likely—the model can be an admissions office hurdle, Czarda acknowledges. But once they try out the shuttle, which tends to take about 20 minutes, "they see the facilities and classrooms and computer labs, and that concern dissipates quickly."
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey: Subway on Wheels
With 40 buses running on 10 routes to connect four Rutgers campuses, a GPS on each bus, and digital signage at each stop to communicate the next arrival, this bus and shuttle system is probably as intricate as a campus system could get. "It's a mass transit system, a subway on wheels," says Jack E. Molenaar, director of transportation services.
Classes on each campus used to start and end at the same time. But students only had 20 minutes to get to other campuses. Since fall 2005, a staggered schedule has solved that. "The shortest time difference now is 55 minutes," he says. First period begins at 8:10 on the College Avenue/Downtown New Brunswick campus, 8:40 at both Bush and Livingston, and 9:15 at Cook/Douglass.
Besides making students' lives a bit less hectic, the schedule reduces traffic. "We went from six major peaks of traffic coming in to 18 mini-peaks," Molenaar says. Most bus rides, depending on traffic, are 20 minutes or less.
One reason the system works is the new zone parking. Students purchase a pass that allows for parking only in a certain area. They park once and then ride the bus the rest of the day. Molenaar sells only the number of permits matching the number of parking spots on a particular campus, and those caught in the wrong zone get socked with a $50 ticket. (After 8 p.m., student residents can park at other campuses.) "The whole system is based on the buses," he says. "We would have to build more parking decks if not for the buses."
NextBus uses each bus's GPS to provide real-time information on when the (you guessed it) next bus will arrive. The signage can also be used for campus communication during inclement weather or emergencies, and users can access the information via the internet or phone. The service was implemented in 2006, and questions and complaints have dropped by 70 percent since then, Molenaar says.
In addition, security cameras allow dispatchers to view every stop and to call in any problems. The ability to track arrivals has also cut back on "Was the bus really late?" inquiries from professors hearing that excuse. And Molenaar can track ridership and add more buses or take away stops as necessary. It's all about efficiency.
A private company owns the bus fleet and has a 10-year contract for up to $8 million a year. To keep driver quality in check, some students are paid to ride and report back on whether, for instance, the driver is talking on a cell phone or not making announcements of each stop. Drivers know exactly when they're supposed to be at each stop, and "if they're more than 10 minutes late or early [without a reported reason], then we don't pay for the loop," Molenaar says. "Since we did that, the buses aren't bunching together anymore. Put a financial clause in there, and it's amazing what happens."
Faculty and staff are allowed to drive between campuses, but Molenaar says he forces himself to take the bus. "Many times it gets you closer to where you're going."

CRESTVIEW � Eating a healthy breakfast has paid off for Crestview High School freshman Caitlin Nunez.
In addition to nutritional benefits, she won a new iPad.
Caitlin was wrapping up first period Friday morning when Principal Bob Jones, cafeteria manager Lynn Rogers, Sodexo general manager Larry Haile and Sodexo field supervisor Jo Marcotte entered her classroom.
Clasping her hands over her mouth, Caitlin could hardly control her glee when Haile handed her the gift-wrapped tablet.
"I can't believe it!" she said. "I'm going to tell my dad about this and then play games."
The Dairy Council of Florida gave three iPads to one winner each at the elementary, middle and high school levels in Okaloosa County.
Other winners were at Destin Elementary and Bruner Middle Schools.
During the spring contest, if a student selected a yogurt parfait for breakfast with a special tag on the bottom, the student's name was entered into the iPad drawing. Winning students' names were drawn at random.

Favourite Toots and the Maytals song
man, there are so many to choose from. these guys have got some back catalogue, huh?
I'm not sure I can pin it down to one, so I'm gonna say my top three are..
Sweet and Dandy
Do the Reggay
Louie Louie
these are in no particular order and of course, subject to change
talk about Toots, if you like
please do
Do the Reggay
My Daily Food
Monkey Man
54-46 Was My Number
Toots is fantastic
If I ever need cheering up I cant think of any music more likely to put a smile back on my chops than a Maytals best of. Pure sunshine in musical form :)
Such a brilliant, soulful vocalist as well. Picking a favourite song is nigh on impossible, today I'm gonna say Bla Bla Bla
Gonna be listening to them all afternoon now lol
man this version of Never You Change
SING IT Toots my son. So good
Funky Kingston, fo' sure.
Saw them live a couple of years back. Was a lot of fun. His voice is awesome.
Me too
Thing I remember most is my best mate who's not normally inclined to outpourings of emotion in any way at all being in tears throughout the entire thing (he had had a really heavy weekend, but still!)
54-46 Was My Number must be one of the 20th Century's best tunes
Pressure Drop is another big one not mentioned already.
The early ska stuff he recorded with the Skatalites for Studio One is amazing too but gets kind of overshadowed by the later, bigger tunes.
Amazing, amazing vocalist. So emotive and distinctive. Actually staggering how many incredible singers Jamaica has produced given its population of less than 3 million and Toots is one of the best ever
Love Toots
saw him at shepherds bush, the crowd was sadly full of dickheads constantly chatting

Edith's Sweet Potato Pie Best Pie Bakeoff 2008 Entry #27
We've been waiting for a pie entry like this. This is an authentic, handed-down family recipe, and with photos to prove it too. This is Leonard's mother's famous sweet potato pie, and now that she is 93 they are still following her own recipe to make this pie. Read on for Leonard and Edith's story, and to see the pie recipe that he's known since boyhood.
Where is this recipe from? This is my Mother, Edith Haile's Sweet Potato Pie recipe.
Why is this the BEST pie recipe you've got? This is my Mother's sweet potato pie recipe that she developed and refined 50 years ago. I have to admit that I am spoiled. My Mother tried to make at least 1 pie and 1 cake every Sunday while I was growing up and living at home. Most often the pie would be a sweet potato pie.
When she was in her sixties she gave up making her own crusts, but when she was into her late eighties she would make a sweet potato pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas. She is 93 now, and we make the pies for Thanksgiving. She tells us that our pies taste better than hers, but we know that's not true. We follow this recipe that she wrote out by hand many years ago, but ours just don't taste the same as the pies she made for us for over 40 years.
Edith's Sweet Potato Pie
1 medium sweet potato
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup canned milk
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Pumpkin pie spice
1 pie crust
Boil potatoe until tender. Peel and mash.
Beat eggs with canned milk. Add to potatoe along with spices.
Pour into prepared pie crust.
Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

Heather O'Bot thought it would be just another Monday in downtown Gastonia, N.C.
GASTONIA, N.C. – Heather O'Bot thought it would be just another Monday in downtown Gastonia.
When she arrived at the coffee shop she plans to open soon on South Street, the film crew that had descended around City Hall was evidence to the contrary.
"I got here about 8 and they were already going strong, setting up their stuff," said O'Bot, whose business will be directly across from City Hall. "It was pretty neat."
The 20th Century Fox Television crew was in town Monday to shoot a scene for a pilot called "Sleepy Hollow." The modern-day supernatural thriller is being pitched as a TV series on the FOX network.
Based on "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," the storyline follows Ichabod Crane as he partners with Sleepy Hollow's local female sheriff to solve the mysteries of a town ravaged by the battle between good and evil.
"On May 3, we send it to New York and the top brass at FOX," said Executive Producer and series co-creator Bob Orci, launching into a laugh. "All this work may be for nothing. And I'll kill them."
A block of South Street was closed to traffic all day so that a single exterior scene could be shot. Production workers transformed City Hall by affixing "Sleepy Hollow" and "Sheriff Department" nameplates to the fa�ade. They also spread leaves on the front lawn and around the bushes, and used a hose to wet down the front walkway, to make it resemble the wet weather of fall.
Repetition was the word of the day. The single scene being shot involved Ichabod Crane, played by actor Tom Mison, being led out of the sheriff's department by Abbey Archer, played by actress Nicole Beharie.
As they exited each time and made their way to a nearby police car, extras began walking up and down the sidewalks around City Hall to make it resemble a bustling downtown.
Orci explained the scene.
"Ichabod has been arrested after waking up here in the present day," he said. "There's a Rip Van Winkle element to it because he's been asleep in a cave for 200 years. He has no idea if he's dreaming or what's happening.
"Obviously the things he's saying make him seem like he's nuts. So he's being escorted by a detective to a psychiatrist in this scene."
The detective gradually begins to believe more and more of what Crane is telling her, and they form a bond, Orci said.
Orci said City Hall has a "nice, simple and elegant" appearance he was looking for in a sheriff's department.
"You want it to feel like it could've existed for a while," he said.
"Sleepy Hollow" also features Orlando Jones and Katia Winter, and John Cho will have a guest starring role in the pilot. None of them were involved in Monday's shoot.
Scenes for the pilot have also been shot in Salisbury and other nearby areas. Cleveland County is also in talks to bring part of the filming there.
The TV network hired off-duty Gaston County police officers to help with traffic control. On a day that was surprisingly windy and frigid, O'Bot took pity on them.
"We opened up our shop for the police officers and were giving them coffee so they could stay warm," she said. "We got a good seat for all the action. It doesn't get much better than this."

GE: "During the latest "WhatTheTech" podcast, well-known technology blogger Paul Thurrott shared a bit of rumored details regarding the Xbox 360 successor."
''claims that Microsoft intends to ship a $500 standard console as well as an alternative subscription model for $300. As speculation has suggested, the new system will require an Internet connection to properly function''
omg nooo,why the hell microsoft doing this :((
500$ standard??? i hope not
This isn't unusual. Microsoft is trying to take over the living room, not be a gaming company. They want you to use a Microsoft-brand box for your media. If you happen to play games on it, okay, but if you use it for cable TV, music, and whatnot, that's fine too, because that's what Microsoft wants.
so no more hardcore next gen???
less exclusive games and stuff?
$500 standard(unlocked) and a subsidized"always online" $300 can be understood. at least we get an option.
edit:"It was also relayed to him that the device does indeed require a constant internet connection to function"
so no option! and it's a locked down low spec W8 box, no thanks I will keep my open W7 gaming PC.
@Prcko, "so no more hardcore next gen???
less exclusive games and stuff? "
That's what has been happening since 2008 this gen.
So no used games, always connected & strict DRM, no offline play, expensive. If Sony comes in at the rumored price point of $399-$450 and allows everything that the next xbox won't, it'll devastate the 720.
Sony has executed its plan beautifully. Bravo.
save you from having to search it out yourself, when they talk about DRM and price point.
"so no more hardcore next gen???
less exclusive games and stuff?"
If we go by this gen the 360 has more, of everything.
you know that if M$ wanted to get in the tv cable business they could have released a separate device for this market, but they already know this would fail.
so now they want to screw over core segment of there xbox install base to force a entry in to this market. they don't care that we just want to play good games, they want us to help them get into this market and if a few fanboy's get lost because of it they don't care.
they know that if they could get into this market they could stand to gain millions and millions of new customers.
NO always online console for me..
even if my consoles are connected all the time.
it's my choice if they are connected not theirs
"so now they want to screw over core segment of there xbox install base to force a entry in to this market."
They are not screwing over any consumers, because they know from their own statistics when you are connected to Xbox LIVE that people use their Xbox 360 for other forms of entertainment as well.
MS knows how much I use my Xbox 360 for Netflix, Vevo and so on. I actually use those features more than I play games, but that is because of time and convenience.
I think MS knows their audience the best from the 3 console manufacturers, as they have the most extensive platform to collect data from users over the longest period of time.
So no worries.
I'm holding off until the official announcement and details from MS. BUT if these rumors are true I don't see myself getting a Next Box any time soon if ever. I am a Forza addict and the 360 was far and away my gaming platform of choice over the past several years and I own them ALL.
I majority of games I play I rent or purchase used. Also I game offline probably 20% of the time. This would be an inconvenience for me and I am rather fond of not wasting money on games I know I will blow through in a couple days (action adventure & platform games) and send back to GF for my next game.
Again, I will wait until E3 but so far these rumors are frustrating me. Only because MS is not refuting ANY of them. Hopefully MS is just testing the water to see how this would go over and they take the more traditional route in gaming. If not this just wreaks of more greed and control.
I honestly don't understand why those that are hesitant on here are getting so many disagrees. You guys that are disagreeing only purchase new and don't want any resale or trade in value, EVER? Come on fellow gamers you can't be serious.
Exactly, apps like Netflix are highly profitable for Microsoft and they're going where the $$ is.
WOW -> X360 @ $99 = overkill make it $150 and you have total domination, but lower price is better for all, so yay!
That is ALL MS wants. They could care LESS about games. This is why I do not understand why gamer's seem to think that MS has their interests in mind. They don't. Games have and will continue to be a means to an end. They want to 'own' the living room. They will do anything to obtain this.
They are definitly focusing on making the next Xbox a cable box. The question is this what gamers want.
They've gone to get one in every living room but instead they've lost one in every bedroom. RIP Xbox
... I have a huge library of great 360 games, but without BC, among other issues, there's no way I'll be picking up a next-gen X-box, so to know that for 100 bucks I can safeguard my currnet library of games, is reassuring.
i hope not either, and you have the coolest avatar on this site.
well, if it sports s dual gpu and all else rumors are spreading, ill get it even for 600, and you all ps fans, a bit of silence please cause it may remind you of something.....
Remind us PS fans... Of what? The price point?
I don't remember Sony forcing PS3 owners to have a perfect Internet connection to play a single-player offline game...
Pete prefers Microsoft. All his comment reminds me of was the ps3 was the cheapest bluray player in the market and it was their library of games and their habits of the prior gen that made me spend that extra money NOT its cpu. Games Pete. It's my primary reason I purchased that console
You weren't forced to buy the $599 premium model.
Put it this way:
If you're more into gaming go for the PS4
If you want more of a media centre go for the xbox
They're still going to have the Halo/COD/Madden monkey to rely and hook people on.
Not to mention small details glossed over advertising.
Sony: "PS4 is a gaming console at heart".
Microsoft: "Xbox is a family friendly entertainment center"
Both have done a VERY good job at showing which market they are more focused on. Which will probably continue on to next gen too.
@Stage, Sonic and Mars already have there crystal ball and labeling the next box before the thing isn't even announced. Yeah, that's not fanboy talk at all...
IDK almost every rumor out there is pointing to this conclusion of media center vs gaming center. Seriously listen to some of the developers over the last several weeks.
At $300.
That they'll make money back on subscriptions - time lock subscriptions - is besides the point.
Actually, this is no different than when they first offered the Xbox1 at a "discount" with a required subscription to their internet provider service at the time.
Notice how they're not into providing internet anymore.
People don't buy consoles as media hubs. Don't people get most things through their TVs nowadays? Why do I need lovefilm, netflix and all this other crap when I've already got several other ways to do it. Microsoft better not let the core gamer down like they have these last 2-3 years otherwise it's curtains
Given what ratings have shown and the growth of Netflix since consoles started offering it you're way off.
It seems gamers spend a lot of time watching movies on their consoles. Up to a third on some consoles.
Even Netflix says consoles drive their service.
Thanks for the links. I won't be visiting any of them. I'm glad you're fully in admittance that the majority of people use consoles to play games tho. You could just press agree on my comment in future
When I first got Xbox Live obviously for Multiplayer gaming. Then MS added Netflix to it (as well as other services). It was a nice feature. How ever the sneaking thing they did with it was add all the features to the Gold Service. Where as Sony/PS3 was a free download (No subscription required from Sony). Why should I pay MS for a Netflix service I already subscribe to? The PS4 Sounds better and better all the time. What cracks me up about MS/Xbox360 it was suppose to be a two tier service, Silver and Gold. What was the benefits to Silver anyway? Too scared to cancel Gold to find out.......
$500 isn't even a lot.
it was a lot for the PS3 and many people jumped ship because of that.
Your so right. Its rediculous the disagrees your getting. To many broke unemplyed gamers ic. Seems to be normal to spend 500 on a phone youll have for a year, or a 1200 computer youll have a few years, but god forbid you spend 500 on a gaming console that you will have for 10 plus years. The world and the people in it are retarted.
@wishing: The price point was one of many many things that made people abandon PS3. The PS3 didn't even come with HD cables and a rumble controller FFS!! $500 is not a lot especially if you're a "hardcore gamer". For $500 everyone would make sure it's a good deal but it's not unreasonable. The PS3 for $500 was a bad deal, that's why people, including me, were complaining. Because when we opened our debut $599 PS3 boxes we literally saw nothing that justified the price except a fancy blue-ray drive that didn't contribute anything to gaming and became dirt cheap right after all of us paid the premium with the PS3. Your comparison is wrong and using it as a premise led you to the wrong conclusion
I bet the people worried about spending $500 on a game console, probably race to get the new Galaxy S4 or latest iPhone every year and don't think twice when they're weak from the giving blood and plasma just to scrounge up some cash. Or better yet, cut back the pot and cheetos then you can afford things and ,ay actually have more drive to work.
Your paying $500 for a machine that will only really work when you pay for the Gold Subscription to get all the features. I don't hear many people singing praises for the Silver subscription. Those other items cell phones and pc's work right out of the box with out being required to pay for an additional subscription. Sadly there is no reward for being a Hard Core Loyal Gamer. The first people in line to get their machines will be the first to take one for the team.
meh i've already made up my mind not to purchase this system. the PS4 and Wii U will take care of my gaming needs for the next gen.
i will however keep my 360, and just gamefly some games that i missed.
Holy crap have you seen the youtube vid the article linked to? That's the definition of fanboyism. I like Paul Thurrot's site for Windows stuff, but these guys have no sense of reality.
These are all unknowns.
We have no idea of pricing, but I doubt it will be very different to Sony (When they announce the price).
But seriously, its weird how people will complain about the ps4/nextbox price (if its over $300) but they will happily fork out $500+ for an Iphone5 LOOL.
The $500 iPhone comparison is used too often, and it isn't accurate.
For starters, most people feel a stronger need to have a phone/internet than a gaming system. Sure, they don't NEED to buy a $500 phone, but they need a phone nonetheless. Comparing a videogame system to an iPhone is like saying "hey, you guys can buy a used car for $1000, but you spent $12,000 on a brand-new car! What gives?"
Plus, Apple products have a sense of prestige attached to them in our society. People think it's cool to have a smartphone or a tablet. To the general public, owning a videogame console isn't nearly as "cool". The last "cool" videogame systems (again, to the public) were the DS and the Wii.
the iphone argument is completely accurate.
Im talking about the people who complain about an expensive games console, an still own the latest tech gadgets.
You cant use the car - used car Vs New Car argument, because you're essentially comparing the same product, and no car that is $1000 will be anywhere near the same as $12,000. You could compare a 100,000$ car to an apartment.
Also apple products and prestige LOL, its very easy to believe that but in reality adding weight to a phone =/= prestige.
The illusion of premium products is where many go wrong, apple have used price fixing to make people think its prestige, but the profits that are made on each phone is insane.
And owning a games console has never been more popular, record sales this generation so it clearly is cool.
"...360 has more of everything"...
smh. I see where you got your username.
Buy a PS4
You better watch out for NeverEnding1989 and GreenPowerz because I have a feeling they will show up here and make fun of your comment and talk trash per usual
Or Cocozero with his "free attention to the 720" rant.
why? im all ears?
you buy console to play games, greenpowerz
Well because I want games also u cant hear our replies on here.
Edit: I get disagrees to but I deal wit it. U should take your uncles advice.
thats crazy, a guy sez "buy a ps4, deal with it" has 20+ agrees, me on the other side, ask why, and even so i get disagrees
@ pete007
Because 95% of people on this site are biased ps3 kids who got no arguments. Apparently they do not have that many games to play since they spend whole days on sites like this one trying to defend sony like it would be their mothers(eventho I doubt they have the balls to defend their mothers, but oh well, they're still kids!). It's really hard to get an intelligent discussion on n4g.
Games. We buy consoles for games. Period. Smart tv's, tablets, and phones have access to every media platform such as Netflix. An article yesterday in yahoo stated that more and more people are abandoning tv's; went from 2 million to 5 million in two years. Consoles niche is games. So why get locked into a contract or have so many requirements to use the box while paying a premium price? IMO, logic has to be the driving force of why so many may pass up on the next box.
Buy a 720
''claims that Microsoft intends to ship a $500 standard console as well as an alternative subscription model for $300. As speculation has suggested, the new system will require an Internet connection to properly function''
I really don't understand why it has to be internet connection only. I mean they are going to have a lot of connection problems going on.
There must be some pretty powerful hardware in that box. My guess is that it will have a powerful GPU inside of it and will make everyone completely forget about always-online. People love them graphics.
A lot of powerful hardware...yet will probably be wasted away just for Kinect 2.0 and other casual stuff.
I can really see my self buying a plan like my cellphone's one with my 720.....why will it be bad?
The cost combined with a monthly charge?
fans will eat it up though
You mean Americans that are in to COD.
Whoa don't put us all in that group. I'm American and I'm not a big fan of COD.
@Skate-AK sorry if I tell you this but, it's hard to believe. XD
Two options this price $500 true.
1., New Xbox powerful than Ps4, Dual APU's, 8 GB GDDR5, Kinect 2.0.
2., Microsoft simply a stupid, new Xbox weaker than Ps4 and all negativity rumors true.
This very important:
"..I've actually heard from, by the way not one or two people, several people who've said, 'based on what I've seen, Sony is going to blow them away.' Based on what you've seen? You've seen nothing. What are you talking about? No, but you've seen literally nothing from Microsoft.."
3. The PS4 will be $600 just like the PS3 was.
It's going to get interesting. The $99 Xbox 360 could be a big seller. The next Xbox might not be if it requires an online connection at all times.
Everything is possible, yet not officially announced new Xbox.
This all simple rumor and speculation, nothing more.
@mike rumors suggest that the ps4 is either priced at $400-$500 dollars u.s.

When one of my favourite lingerie brands moves into swimwear, you can guarantee a flurry of activity as I book various beach holidays and plot my next move to Capri. Bordelle, a provocative, dominant and sexy lingerie brand, have designed a collection of swimwear guaranteed to bestow on you immediate Bond Girl status.
Curve enhancing lines, a hint of bondage and inspiration from the likes of Honey Ryder (the bikini-clad entrance of Ursula Andress in Dr No is an unforgettable Bond Girl moment) makes for a stunning collection.
The aptly named Bond-Age bikini set (image top of post) comes with moulded underwire cups and side boning for added structure. The set comes in three shades: black, ivory and poppy red each with shimmering honey.
For those who prefer a little more coverage, Bordelle have designed several beautiful one pieces, like the Olympia swimsuit (image below). The piece de resistance however has to be the Bond-Age swimsuit, modeled on the brand's signature hourglass silhouette and embellished with 18k gold plated hardware and an adjustable elastic overlay. This piece can be worn in a variety of ways and naturally is high up on my Christmas wish list.
You may not possess a name that is a double entendre, but if you want to be a symbol of glamour and sophistication like a Bond Girl, visit Bordelle swim on their website here.

The use of harmful habit forming drugs is a growing problem in our societies today. Some of these habits do not only damage the health of the individuals but in one way or the other harm those around them. If alcohol has brought much joy to the man, it has also brought much suffering especially to the woman and the children of the man who drinks. A little alcohol now and then may do no harm. But too often a little lead to a lot. In our community, heavy or excessive drinking is one of the underlying causes of health problems even for those who do not drink. Not only can drunkenness harm the health of those who drink through diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver, but it also hurts the family and community in many ways. Through loss of judgment, loss of self respect,it leads to much unhappiness , waste of resources and violence often affecting those who are close to them. Many fathers have spent their last bit of money on drinking when their children are hungry. Many sicknesses result because a man spends all the money he earns on drinking rather than improving his family's living condition. Many persons hate themselves because they have hurt those they love and yet take another drink to forget. Smoking is yet another dangerous habit. There are many reasons why smoking is dangerous to your own and your family's health. Smoking increases the risk of cancer of the lungs and lips. Smoking increases serious diseases of the lungs including chronic bronchitis. Smoking can help cause stomach ulcers or make it worst. Children whose parents smoke have more cases of pneumonia and other respiratory illness. Smoking increases your chances of suffering from heart disease or stroke. Children of mothers who smoke during pregnancy are smaller and develop more slowly. Also smoking costs money. It looks like little is spent but it adds up to a lot. In addition alcohol and tobacco, many people in our communities are using illegal drugs. These drugs include marijuana, opium and cocaine. Some drugs such as cocaine and heroin are very addictive, a person may try the drugs only once and feel that he needs it more and more. Other drugs become addictive after using it for a longer period of time. Addiction is a dangerous trap that can lead to serious health problems or even death. People usually start taking drugs to escape the hardships, forget the hunger or calm the pain in their lives. Like the people in northern part of Uganda became addicted to alcohol in order to forget the hardship and calm the pain they were going through during the Lords Resistance War. And now that they are settling in their homes, they try to stop these addiction but instead they become miserable ,sick , violent and often commit crimes, go hungry or neglect their families. Thus, drug use become a problem not only to a person but to the whole family and community. A community which recognizes these can do much to encourage those who are willing to make changes if you are concerned about the misuse of alcohol in your community, help organize a meeting to discuss these problems and decide what actions to take. I think the following ways can help to solve the problems of addiction and drug abuse; -Be helpful and supportive to someone trying to overcome drug use. -Members of the community who have been addicted to drugs but have stopped the habit can form a "support group" to help others to give up alcohol or drugs. -Families, schools and health workers can tell children about the dangers of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs. -Work to correct some of the problems in your communities that lead people to use drugs e.g hunger, exploitation, lack of opportunities to lead better life.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Rebounding from a decline, U.K.'s FTSE 100 index moved higher on Wednesday, supported by gains for Sports Direct International and Tesco. Investors largely shrugged off better-than-expected U.K. labor-market data.
The London benchmark UKX, +0.21% gained 0.7% to close at 6,584.17, climbing back after a 0.6% loss from Tuesday.
Sports Direct International PLC SPD, -1.20% jumped 5.6% to 7.88 pounds ($13.19), after Bank of America Merrill Lynch raised its price target on the sports retailer to £10.70 a share, from £10.
Tesco PLC TSCO, +0.70% also helped drive the U.K. index higher, rising 2.6% after the supermarket chain reported full-year trading profit ahead of analyst expectations. Other food retailers tracked Tesco higher, with shares of Wm Morrison Supermarkets PLC MRW, +0.32% up 0.6% and J Sainsbury PLC SBRY, +0.30% 0.4% higher.
Burberry Group PLC BRBY, +0.17% BURBY, +2.09% tacked on 3.1% after reporting a rise in second-half sales, helped by growth online. The luxury-goods firm warned, however, that it expects currency movements to hurt profit.
Shares of International Consolidated Airlines Group SA IAG, -0.28% climbed 5.1% after HSBC lifted the company to overweight from neutral, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
Aside from corporate news, the main event in the U.K. on Wednesday was the latest labor-market figures from the Office for National Statistics. The unemployment rate fell to 6.9% in the three months to February, below the 7.2% print in January and beating forecasts of 7.1%.
Discuss key earnings announcements before and after results come in. Learn more
With that drop, the unemployment rate has fallen below the Bank of England's 7% threshold and likely activates the central bank's new "fuzzy" forward guidance on interest rates. Under the new framework, the BOE focuses on a wider range of indicators, including productivity and salary growth, rather than just the unemployment level. The ONS said on Wednesday average earnings, including bonuses, rose 1.7% year-over-year, from 1.4% in January.
"For now though, we note that a pickup in earnings growth isn't expected to unnerve the MPC's stance that rates can remain on hold…for quite some time," Sam Hill, senior U.K. economist at RBC Capital Markets, said in a note.
The pound GBPUSD, +0.1503% however, climbed to $1.6796, up from $1.6723 late Tuesday, indicating that currency investors interpret the data as a case for higher interest rates. Tighter monetary policy would be supportive for the pound.

ROSEVILLE, Mich. � Michigan investigators plan to take soil samples from underneath a residential driveway Friday in the latest effort in a decades-long investigation to figure out where missing Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa may be buried.
Could this search be the one that solves the mystery? Don't get excited: Authorities have already said they don't think the timeline adds up and that it's unlikely Hoffa's body is there.
The latest investigation was launched after police in Roseville received a tip from a man who said he saw a body being buried underneath the driveway 35 years ago and "thinks it may have been Jimmy."
Hoffa was last seen July 30, 1975, outside a restaurant in Oakland County, more than 30 miles to the west.
Recently retired Detroit FBI chief Andrew Arena is among the doubters that the latest report will check out.
"You've got to check it out, but this doesn't sound right," he told the AP. "The working theories that have developed over the years, this really doesn't fit any of those. If this was the mob and they killed somebody, I just don't see them burying the body basically at the intersection of a residential neighborhood with this guy standing there."
The soil samples are set to be removed Friday morning and eventually tested for human decomposition. Results of the soil samples taken Friday are not expected before next week.
At the request of police, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality used ground-penetrating radar last week on the Roseville driveway. An anomaly, or shift, in the soil was detected.
Police Chief James Berlin said that his office is "not claiming it's Jimmy Hoffa" beneath the slab but that they are "investigating a body that may be at the location."
Feisty and iron-willed in contract talks, Hoffa was an acquaintance of mobsters and adversary to federal officials. He spent time in prison for jury tampering.
The day he disappeared, Hoffa was supposed to meet with a New Jersey Teamsters boss and a Detroit mafia captain. He was declared legally dead in 1982.
Previous tips led police to excavate soil in 2006 at a horse farm more than 100 miles north of Detroit, rip up floorboards at a Detroit home in 2004, and search beneath a backyard pool north of the city in 2003.
There were even rumors that Hoffa's remains were ground up and tossed into a Florida swamp, entombed beneath Giants Stadium in New Jersey or obliterated in a mob-owned fat-rendering plant.
Roseville is one of several inner-ring communities that grew quickly as unionized auto factory workers left the city in search of nicer homes and bigger yards.
News of the latest search has brought attention to the mostly working- and middle-class suburb from the curious and naysayers. Slowly moving vehicles have clogged the residential street as camera-wielding neighbors snapped photos for keepsakes.
"I believe it's him. My sister said it is, and she's a psychic," said Mike Smith after ambling up to the home Thursday and shying a bit from the yellow police tape stretched across the driveway.
One local theory that has endured was that the body was beneath the foundation of a downtown Detroit hockey stadium, said 57-year-old Cindi Frank, who snapped photos Thursday of the Roseville driveway.
The daughter of a unionized driver and salesman for a Detroit bakery, Frank remembers conversations about Hoffa while he was alive and rumors about his fate.
"It was a family thing. Every time we'd go somewhere we'd say, 'Hey, I wonder if Jimmy Hoffa is buried there?'" Frank said. "It's just been one of those unsolved mysteries that's gone on for 30-something years. If he show up in Roseville ..."
Some think the least likely spot for him to turn up might just be the place he does.
"Maybe the most inconspicuous spot might be the place to stash a body or something," said 52-year-old Andrew Kacir, who lives across from the taped off driveway.

Schenn scores 2 goals, helps Flyers end skid with win over NHL-worst SabresNHL.com @NHLdotcom
PHILADELPHIA - Brayden Schenn scored two goals, and the Philadelphia Flyers broke a four-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday night.
Philadelphia maintained third place in the Metropolitan Division, two points ahead of Columbus, and won for the second time in eight games (2-4-2). With four games remaining, the Flyers trail the second-place New York Rangers by two points, but have a game in hand.
Schenn, Vincent Lecavalier and Zac Rinaldo scored second-period goals to put Philadelphia ahead 4-0. Matt Read also scored and Mark Streit had three assists.
Cory Hodgson and Mike Weber scored third-period goals for Buffalo, which lost its sixth straight road game and fell to 2-13-1 in its last 16 overall. The Sabres, assured of finishing with the fewest points in the NHL, have scored eight goals during their road skid.

South Region: No. 8 LSU (26-7) vs. No. 9 Butler (26-5)
When: Thursday, 12:20 p.m., EDT
Where: Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, North Carolina
1) Welcome to the Century Club. LSU celebrated its 100th year of existence this season by naming its All Century Team, an impressive squad that boasts 13 All-American Awards and 5 Final Four appearances among them. The team includes the likes of Bob Pettit, Pete Maravich, Chris Jackson (pre-National Anthem craziness), Shaq, and Big Baby Davis. As part of Century Team celebration, the program held an alumni game featuring the startlingly obese stylings of former center Stanley Roberts as well as breakout star of the Whoopi Goldberg classic Eddie, one Vernel Singleton.
2) Awards, our cup runneth over0. LSU's senior guard, Marcus Thornton, was named SEC Player of the Year, while guiding his team to a 26-7 overall record (13-3 in the SEC) and finishing second in the league in scoring at 20.7 ppg. His coach, Trent Johnson, in his first year after taking over for the fired John Brady (who has since been banished to Siberia, or Jonesboro, Arkansas...either one), was named SEC Coach of the Year. Johnson came to LSU from Stanford (clearly leaving Palo Alto for the boost in academic prestige that the Bayou has to offer) where he led the Cardinal to the NCAA tournament in 3 out of his 4 years as head coach.
3) LSU, scourge of the SWAC and other lesser conferences. LSU's NCAA Tournament hopes and dreams are built on the sacrificial and questionably talented corpses of its less than stellar non-conference opponents. LSU's non-conference strength of schedule was ranked 288th overall (RPI of 125) and featured such daunting publicly funded institutions as Grambling State, Nicholls State, Jackson State, Alcorn State and Centenary...um State. They are a healthy 1-3 against the Top 50 (including double digit loses to Xavier, Utah, and Texas A&M) and didn't win a non-conference game away from the Maravich Assembly Center all season. But hey, they won the SEC regular season title, a conference so recognized for its stellar achievement this year that the Selection Committee saw fit to bestow upon it 3 whole bids to the Dance. — Bunkie Perkins (Friends of the Program)
1) Freshman, Freshman, Do Something Crazy, Do Something Crazy. Unlike the previous veteran laden Butler squads of the past, the 2008-2009 version starts three true freshmen. Leading the group is point guard Ronald Nored (6'0", 180). Nored is the definition of a pass first point guard with a passion for defense. Shooting guard Shelvin Mack (6'3", 215) hails from Lexington, Kentucky and is the Bulldog's best creator. Shelvin fills up the stat sheet wherever he's needed; on any given night he can score 20, dish off 8, or grab 9 off the boards. Finally, Gordon Hayward (6'8", 200) is a matchup problem in every context. Gordon was undersized until his junior year of high school and is still adjusting to his new found height, truly a guard playing in a forward's body. He was a two sport athlete in high school and almost won a state championship in tennis his senior year. Gordon won the Horizon League Newcomer of the Year and was in the top ten in ten different league statistics.
2) Smart Pups Butler has always strived for excellence on and off the court. Leading scorer Matt Howard was recently named to the 2008-09 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America University Division Men's Basketball Team. Howard boasts a 3.7 GPA with a major in Finance. Freshman Gordon Hayward is striving for a double major and currently has a 4.0 GPA. Not to mention Ronald Nored ran for and was elected freshman class president.
3) Don't drop the ball. Butler's success is dependent on their ability to handle the rock. Butler is 14-0 this year when committing less turnovers than their opponent. — fired up karen

Wests Tigers Sack Jason Taylor
Read the statement.
Photo: Getty Images
Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor has been sacked by the NRL club, effective immediately, with assistant Andrew Webster to serve as interim coach.
Wests Tigers chairwoman Marina Go confirmed the axing in a statement on Monday.
"Our position has always been to make sure that the head coach's contract is tied to performance and that hasn't changed," said Go.
"We are committed to building a side that will be in a position to win NRL premierships and believe that this decision is the correct one for the future of the club."
Taylor was due to come off contract at the end of the season,but his sudden exit comes after the Wests Tigers banked a win then two heavy defeats from the first three games of the season, including a 46-6 hammering by Canberra on Sunday.
The club was being pushed for an early call on his job with their "big four" players - skipper Aaron Woods, fullback James Tedesco and halves Mitchell Moses and Luke Brooks - also coming off contract and seeking certainty about the club's coaching position before re-committing.
They are reportedly keen to play under North Queensland assistant coach Todd Payten, who mentored them during his time as the Tigers' under 20s coach.
Payten and former Penrith and Warriors coach Ivan Cleary shape as the leading contenders to take over as head coach.
Interim coach Webster returned to Wests Tigers this year after spending two seasons as an assistant coach at the Warriors.
Jason Taylor and Robbie Farah Photo: www.nrl.com.au screen grab
Taylor's controversial reign included the damaging public stoush with ex-captain Robbie Farah, who was forced out of the club after last season and still receives the bulk of his large salary from West Tigers despite now playing for South Sydney.
Wests Tigers won 20 and lost 31 matches since Taylor took over at the start of the 2015 season and he has a career 43 per cent win record which includes previous stints at Parramatta and South Sydney.
The Tigers went desperately close to making the finals last season, when ninth.
But the joint venture has not played finals since 2011 and, with the club desperate to get back to the finals, it would appear the flogging at the hands of the Raiders was the last straw for Taylor.

I write this with a heavy heart and flowing tears as I've just learned that Amy Dombroski was killed while out on a training ride, only a few days after arriving in Belgium for the start of the 2013-2014 cyclocross season. Amy was not only a rising star in cycling but also a friend, one whose departure won't be quickly forgotten by me or many others in the Boulder cycling scene.
Before she left for Belgium, Amy pushed me to write this tongue-in-cheek "Pro bike" profile of her trusty old "Bah-lahn-say." Always the good sport, she was so proud of that thing despite all of us always poking fun at her about it. Much like Amy, I'd say this bike was perhaps a little quirky but undeniably lovable.
Rest in peace, Amy D. I wish I'd given you a bigger hug when we said goodbye, but know you'll be in the protective embrace of your family and friends, now and forever. We all miss you terribly.
Dombroski's ever-present good humor was contagious
American cyclocross racer Amy Dombroski normally spent time on her shiny Ridley X-Fire as part of the Belgium-based Telenet-Fidea squad. However, Ridley didn't provide a townie to use when she was at home in Boulder, Colorado, so she got things done on a decidedly beat-up, hand-me-down Balance AL-750 cobbled together with a scraped together assortment of salvaged bits. If you think that sounds a little rough, you're spot on.
Dombroski's Balance – she jokingly insisted on pronouncing it "bah-lahn-say" – has quite the history. It originally belonged to her older brother, Dan, who started racing mountain bikes when the two were still living at home in Vermont back in the mid-90s.
"It used to have a Softride stem on it and everything was purple anodized on it," Dombroski said. "It was my brother's first race bike, the first bike he sort of got a deal on."
Dombroski's cobbled-together city bike, the 1996 "Bah-lahn-say" (Balance)
After her brother was finished with it, the purple beast was then passed on to fellow Vermonter Lea Davison – now a factory rider for Specialized. According to Dombroski, Davison's mountain bike career actually started on that rig, which was then handed off yet again to her sister, Sabra.
"It made every other mountain bike I've ever ridden feel like an absolute dream," Lea Davison told BikeRadar. "But, its purple, chrome, and suspension stem was just enough to make me fall head over heels — literally and figuratively, the stem was pretty unforgiving on east coast tech — in love with mountain biking. So, really, the Balance was one of the best bikes I've ever ridden because it was the hook."
Only after all of that would the younger Dombroski inherit the now well-used aluminum workhorse as her first race bike when she moved to Colorado. Coupled with the fact that the Davison sisters now operate Little Bellas, a non-profit mountain bike organization for young girls, it's fair to say that the humble Balance has gotten quite a few women into the sport.
Dombroski picked these bars because she could balance a pizza box on them
These days, though, Dombroski's Balance isn't quite the thoroughbred it once was having now been bastardized into a townie with as little money invested as possible. Any semblance of trail worthiness has gone by the wayside, replaced by a hodgepodge of components that would make any dumpster diver proud.
The suspension fork was been replaced with an old Orbea 'cross fork from Dombroski's days racing for the Luna squad – which, yes, makes the Balance a 69er – the Williams Cycling front wheel is a leftover from when she raced for the Velo Bella team, the Shimano Deore XT drivetrain was replaced with a random singlespeed setup, and Dombroski couldn't even recall the origins of the rear wheel.
"It was sitting in our garage when my brother and I were living together and I have no idea where it came from," she said. "But the hub is awesome because I don't even really need a bell because it's so loud."
Because that rear wheel is so out of true, Dombroski also made do with just a front brake.
Not all of the component decisions were made purely by happenstance, however. Dombroski said she had her choice between an old LP Composites carbon-and-Kevlar fiber flat bar and the Syntace cowhorns shown here. Ultimately, she decided on the latter but not for the typical reasons.
"I chose [the Syntace bars] so I could go and pick up pizza because my brother and I didn't have a car when we moved out here and those cowhorn bars worked really well for holding the box," she said.
We had the (mis)fortune of taking Dombroski's steed out for a spin and not surprisingly, it runs about as well as it looks. And yes, it's a bit scary.
Even so, Dombroski insisted that her beloved Balance was hardly only relegated to bike lanes and paths.
"Oh, it sees dirt all the time!"
Dombroski's friends have set up a memorial fund to help her family and to be used in her memory. Donations can be dropped off at Pro Peloton in Boulder or mailed to:
Memorial of Amy Dombroski c\o Wells Fargo Deposits

When Matthew Scheidt went to get a badge for his job as a clerk at a doctor's office and ended up with credentials for a physician's assistant, the 17-year-old had a choice. He could 'fess up or impersonate a health care worker. Unfortunately for the patients at a Florida hospital, the teen chose the path that's sending him to jail for a year.
As if there weren't enough reasons to hate hospitals? Now we have teenagers masquerading as physician's assistants running around? And no one notices?
Scheidt apparently fancies himself quite the actor. Cops say they also caught him impersonating a police officer (that case still has to go through the courts). A year in jail and eight years probation sound about right for this guy. He sounds like a real threat to society.
But can we talk about the hospital for a second?
While he impersonated a physician's assistant, the teenager apparently was changing bandages, handling IVs, and conducting exams. For weeks!
He even did CPR on an overdose patient. These are all things that should have shown his co-workers how inept he was, and all could have put people's lives in serious danger. And no one stepped in over several weeks of this?
I would like to think that when I go into a hospital, everyone there cares about patient care. That means not only do they try their best to be good at their own jobs, but they are also highly aware of what their co-workers are doing.
It's the one place I'm completely cool with tattling on your co-worker. We aren't talking about too many personal calls on the company's dime here. We're talking about lives at stake!
I blame Matthew for making the wrong decision. But we need to address the fact that he shouldn't have been able to make it.
What do you think should be done to the hospital? Should they be sanctioned as well?

The Slackeris Guide: World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Preview
By Chris Barylick
Coming Into Its Own: World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade
While itis one thing to create and sell a new video game, expansion packs are an entirely different beast altogether. Perhaps a game was successful enough to warrant new content; not a sequel, but a series of additions to keep the player base happy in the meantime.
This also runs into some fairly dangerous ground.
When a video game company decides to do this, they place their credibility on the line, perhaps more so than with the original video game itself. Sometimes the expansion brings something new to the table. Other times it just seems like a polite means of selling the same game all over to you again in the form of additional levels, weapons, vehicles and a mediocre new storyline.
Players will be able to create Blood Elf and Dranei characters in the Burning Crusade expansion pack for World of Warcraft.
Blizzard has put themselves on the line with its current major project, the Burning Crusade expansion pack for its World of Warcraft massively multiplayer online role-playing game. And true to the companyis history of carefully crafting their next product, thereis something worth looking forward to when this game is released to market in January of 2007.
Like the original, players traverse an epic fantasy landscape, carrying out quests, gathering items and working towards the next level. Typical for a fantasy role-playing game and what would be expected from an expansion pack. The difference comes down to execution. Blizzard has created an entire new continent to explore called Outland (last seen in Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne) as well as two new races (the Dranei for the Alliance and the Blood Elves for the Horde). The Dranei, somewhat similar in appearance to the demons theyive sworn to fight, have crashed from their home world and come to Outland as aliens, while the Blood Elves, having lost the trust of the Alliance serve as a dark offshoot of the Night Elves from the original game.
It never hurts to fight with a party.
When I first began playing a few weeks ago, there was a healthy degree of skepticism. True, I like World of Warcraft and have kept my account alive with three alternate characters. The fact was that I felt hard pressed to really get into it, as my highest character is a level 39 druid and I didnit feel compelled to spend dozens of hours grinding for money, treasure and additional items to purchase a mount, then work my way towards level 60. The game was fun, but only in small to moderate doses.
Upon creating a new set of characters for the Burning Crusade open beta test, the spark is definitely back. Beautiful graphics, terrific sound and epic environments stand up to and surpass the original game. Where Blizzard could have passed this off as the expansion to one of the most popular games of all time and gotten away with only a fair amount of effort, the new continent retains the epic feel that was created in the original.
Each raceis capital city, typically the graphical jewel in the crown for a given area, remains as epic as they ever were, the Blood Elf and Dranei capital cities blowing the player away in terms of depth and detail. They went back to the drawing board with this in lieu of throwing out a copied version of the same old thing and the result is a set of cities with their own look and feel to accompany their home race.
While the Burning Crusade expansion pack was designed to provide a continued experience for hardcore players who had reached the original gameis maximum level of 60 (the new cap is 70 with the player needing to gather an increasing number of experience points to reach the next level - plenty to tide them over), improved game elements help new players along.
Cool and colorful mounts abound.
Flying mounts finally bring the dream of a controllable flying unit to the player. Previously only available as a non-controllable form of public transportation such as through a gryphon or giant bat in the original, Blizzard has handed over the thing that players have clamored for from day one.
New professions and talents make the game even more enjoyable, albeit the new Jewelcrafting profession seems to take a long time to gather components past the initial levels. Players can create new jewels to fit into socketed items as well as standalone items to grant new abilities and bonuses. Even though players kind of lifted an eyebrow at the inclusion of only a single new profession at the time of the gameis announcement, Jewelcrafting blends well with the other professions, especially where party roles are concerned. Where a few players may take on fighting roles (a.k.a. "tanking") while others hang back and cast offensive, defensive or healing spells, professions work well together. A well-balanced group can include Jewelcrafting into its cycle of creating new items, weapons, potions and armor for the group at large before taking on a larger quest like a dungeon that needs to be explored.
The Burning Crusade expansion pack is currently in closed beta, with an eventual price of US$39.99 when it is released ($37.99 - Amazon). The game, which is written as a universal binary, runs well despite its beta status with only a few soft crashes during the early stages. Bug fixes have arrived consistently at a pace of one to two a month and typically patch a fair number of issues with each round.
Rogues can still wield multiple blades as well as stab anything they want as a source of amusement.
Not for ancient Macs but also not for the hardware-elite either, the current Burning Crusade system specifications call for Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, a 933 MHz G4, G5 or Intel processor (a 1.8 GHz G5 or Intel processor is recommended), 512 MB of RAM (1 GB is recommended) and a video card with at least 32 MB of VRAM (64 MB of VRAM is recommended).
The Burning Crusade expansion pack is due for release on January 16th of 2007 and will be available via retail and online stores. Despite still being in beta, the game shows steady improvements over the original, especially for new players. This is the better version of what an expansion pack can be; a game running off the same core system having been carefully rethought and made that much more fun.
That wraps it up for this week. As always, if you see anything new, cool or useful in the Mac universe, [removed]eval(unescape(i[removed]('let me know')i))[removed]

The best restaurants serve simple food with very fresh ingredients grown in the nearby countryside and no rich sauces. The most important ingredient is a pungent green extra-virgin olive oil, cold pressed from the Tuscany olive groves. This is used as a dip for celery, artichokes, and other fresh vegetables, as well as a salad condiment and topping for bruschetta.
In the historical centre of Florence you will find plenty of fine restaurants offering typical Tuscan cuisine. Ask your hotel to point out the best Tuscan restaurants in Florence.
You should also definitely try out the enoteche. Once serving only wine, today they are light-meal restaurants in themselves, serving panino or bruschette alongside their excellent local wines. Once on a par with cafes, enoteche are now respectable eating establishments in themselves, adding world-class light foods to their already extensive wine lists as attractions.
You may not think of Florence as a huge ethnic enclave, but as a world-class city, it holds a wide variety of peoples. If you're tired of Italian-style cuisine (far-fetched but possible), Florence holds world-wide restaurants, most commonly Chinese, but also Indian, Japanese, Jewish, Mexican, and Caribbean. There are several vegetarian restaurants as well serving international cuisine, but if you're a vegetarian you should not have any trouble finding good meatless fare in most ristorantes and enoteche.

The status of the Santa Monica Bike Action Plan has been a bit of an unknown for a little while, but a presentation and update on the plan is happening tonight's planning commission meeting. There is some new material in the staff reports and attachments, and a lot of it is pretty good stuff. There is obviously an effort to respond to a lot of specific concerns and ideas from the community. One of my own pet peeves, the narrow bike lane on Broadway, a prominent commuting route with high turn over in the morning, placed right in the door zone, appears slated for buffering the bike lane from the door zone, something that exists on a small stretch that was being repainted where I intervened before final paint went down.
I'm interested to see the full presentation, and if any mention of time frames for the proposed projects will be discussed. As I've mentioned before, one of my biggest concerns is that the bike plan is not getting as much community input or having as many workshops as many other public works projects in the city, and I think that is important for creating the support and buy in necessary to make sure these plans really happen. There will no doubt be resistance to some of these proposals, and we have to make there is a enough support to balance that, or we can end up with another plan sitting on a shelf. Some of this rests on advocates to be involved, but the city has been very proactive in community involvement on projects such as the proposed Civic Center Park, and I would like to see more done to involve the community in the bike planning process.
This post is a bit last minute, but if you can't make it tonight, you can always write in letters to the planning commissioners. Also if you aren't already, you should follow the Santa Monica Spoke blog for updates on Santa Monica bike news, my own blog has not been updated frequent lately, partly due to my column contributions to Santa Monica Patch.

Cranston and Warwick Police anticipated a reaction to a disparaging Twitter "tweet" that was posted by a Coventry High School student about two Pilgrim High School girls who died in a traffic accident in Exeter last August. Officials at Pilgrim called Warwick Police because they thought there might be trouble at two playoff hockey games between Coventry and Pilgrim that were scheduled over the weekend.
"We called Cranston Police when we heard about it," said Major Ray Gallucci of the Warwick Police. "The first game was held at Cranston's [Veterans Memorial] Rink [on Phenix Avenue] on Friday and Cranston put a couple of extra officers on detail for it. Nothing happened, but we also sent an extra detail officer at Thayer for the second game, which also went by without incident. The resource officers at the schools involved were following the situation and we thought we should be cautious."
Gallucci declined to describe exactly what was said in the tweet, saying he didn't think it would serve any practical purpose to repeat the comments.
Pilgrim High students were deeply affected by the death of the two athletes on Aug. 31. Elanna Zuller, 16, and Gabriella "Bella" DiPalma, 17, were killed when the car they were in struck a tree in Exeter.
Police said they were in Exeter to visit the grave of Mercy Brown, who according to legend was the state's only reputed vampire, although that term was not current in 1892, the year she died.
The hockey games were part of a Division II semifinal series. Coventry, the top seed, swept the series over Pilgrim.
"I don't think any charges will be filed," said Gallucci. "I believe that the school [Coventry] is handling that part."
