Champions League Talk has received a rumor that DirecTV has acquired the TV rights to the debut season of the UEFA Europa League on US television.
The semi-finals of the 2009 Europa League, previously known as the UEFA Cup, as well as the quarter-finals and final will be shown on DirecTV. An inside source has revealed that both GolTV and Setanta Sports are working on picking up the TV rights for some of the games in the earlier rounds of the tournament.
During the 2008-2009 season, Fox Soccer Channel and Setanta Sports shared the TV rights to the tournament.
If DirecTV has acquired the TV rights to the UEFA Europa League, the games will presumably be available via pay-per-view on the satellite network.

Drew Barrymore: Women can't have it all
Drew Barrymore is leaning into the typically angsty working mom debate.
But the new mom sounds just fine with how's she's treading the parenting-professional line.
"I was raised in that generation where it was all, 'Women can have it all!' and I don't think you can," the 38-year-old actress and entrepreneur said at a Lucky magazine conference Thursday in L.A.
"I think something falls off the table. The good thing is that the things that stay on the table become so much more important. You have to choose your battles. I can't direct movies right now; I would miss out on my daughter (Olive, 6 months). And I worked so hard to get to that point in my life, but it was a clear choice. I just had to make it."
These days, her cosmetics company, Flower, is her focus. But it sounds like she's keen on joining the ranks of other celebrity lifestyle gurus — with a recipe collection, perhaps?! — kept all in perspective:
"Whatever it is — it could be a beauty line, a movie, a cookbook (I'll get there one day, but not yet. No one wants to eat my food, trust me) — maintain a sense of humor! It gets so serious out there. I love a good fart joke!"

GST-tag Antibody
For highly sensitive and specific detection of GST-tagged proteins
GST-tag Antibody allows immunologic applications such as western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and immunoprecipitation. The antibody is highly sensitive and allows detection of amounts of GST protein as low as 0.5 ng.
The highly specific and sensitive GST-tag Antibody enables detection of even low amounts of GST-tagged proteins, up to 0.5 ng in western blots (see figure "Sensitivity and specificity of GST-tag Antibody").
The GST-tag is a versatile tool for purification and detection of proteins. The monoclonal antobodies have no cross-reactivity with proteins from various other species, giving highly sensitive and specific detection (see figure "Sensitivity and specificity of GST-tag Antibody").
Proteins expressed with a GST-tag are readily isolated from a lysate using Glutathione HiCap Matrix. The purity of the GST-tagged protein can be confirmed by western blotting. After transfer of the isolated protein to the membrane, this is incubated with a blocking solution to minimize non-specific background staining. The membrane is subsequently incubated with GST-tag Antibody diluted appropriately, followed by secondary antibody specific for the GST-tag Antibody. The secondary antibody is conjugated to allow chromogenic or chemiluminescent detection (see figure "Sensitivity and specificity of GST-tag Antibody").
GST-tag Antibody allows immunologic applications, such as:

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are usually taken one time a
day. They are sometimes taken two times a day if a stronger dose is needed.
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) greatly
reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, which in turn reduces
irritation of the stomach lining and allows an ulcer to heal.
used with antibiotics, PPIs also help treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.
Proton pump inhibitors are used to
treat ulcers. They provide short-term (2 to 8 weeks) treatment for
ulcers in the stomach and in the upper small
PPIs are also used to prevent ulcers and problems from ulcers (such as bleeding) in people who take NSAIDs long-term (for example, for arthritis).
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can
block more than 90% of stomach acid production. These medicines work better than antacids or H2 blockers to prevent and treat ulcers.
ulcers heal within 4 weeks, although some people may need up to 4 more weeks of
treatment to complete healing. In rare cases, large ulcers need even longer
These medicines have been shown to help prevent ulcers and problems from ulcers (such as bleeding) in people who take NSAIDs long-term.1
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
Proton pump inhibitors work best when they are taken 30 minutes before your first meal (for example, breakfast). If taking one pill before breakfast does not completely relieve your symptoms, talk to your doctor about taking another pill before dinner.
It may take a few days for proton pump inhibitors to help your symptoms. You can take antacids to help with your symptoms during this time, unless your doctor has told you not to.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

As many of you know, I am a big fan of Alaska seafood. When we lived in Anchorage, I had the wonderful opportunity to cook and catch numerous species of fish from the region's icy waters.
Without a doubt, I had some of the best and freshest halibut one day when I purchased it from Arctic Choice Seafoods at the South Anchorage Farmer's Market. I vividly recall that when I cooked that halibut, my neighbors started coming around and banging on the door to try some! Everyone thought it was the freshest cleanest fish they had ever eaten. In fact, it remains the benchmark by which I judge all other halibut!
Yesterday, I was honored to act as one of the judges for the annual Alaska Symphony of Seafood. This was my second time sitting in the hot seat, and again it was my pleasure to be there. Overall, there were ten judges and we sampled about fifteen items. I can't reveal any details regarding our opinions, but I can tell everyone to stay tuned for next week when the winners will be announced at a gala event in Anchorage. The winners will be sent to the International Boston Seafood Show in March where they will have a booth and serve samples of the winning product.

Do you feel very tired, helpless, and hopeless? Are you sad most of the time, and take no pleasure in your family, friends, or hobbies? Are you having trouble working, sleeping, eating, and functioning? Have you felt this way for a long time?
If so, you may have depression.
What is depression?
Everyone sometimes feels sad, but these feelings usually pass after a few days. When a woman has depression, she has trouble with her daily life for weeks at a time. More women than men get depression. It is a serious illness, and most women who have it need treatment to get better.
What are the different forms of depression?
The most common types of depression are:
- Major depression—severe symptoms that interfere with a woman's ability to work, sleep, study, eat, and enjoy life. An episode of major depression may occur only once in a person's lifetime. But more often, a person can have several episodes.
- Dysthymic disorder or dysthymia—depressive symptoms that last a long time (2 years or longer), but less severe than those of major depression.
- Minor depression—similar to major depression and dysthymia, but symptoms are less severe and may not last as long.
What are the signs and symptoms of depression?
Different people have different symptoms. Some symptoms of depression include:
- Feeling sad or "empty"
- Feeling hopeless, irritable, anxious, or guilty
- Loss of interest in favorite activities
- Feeling very tired
- Not being able to concentrate or remember details
- Not being able to sleep, or sleeping too much
- Overeating, or not wanting to eat at all
- Thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts
- Aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems
What causes depression in women?
Several factors may contribute to depression in women.
Genes—women with a family history of depression may be more likely to develop it than those whose families do not have the illness.
Brain chemistry and hormones—people with depression have different brain chemistry than those of people without the illness. Also, the hormones that control emotions and mood can affect brain chemistry.
During certain times of a woman's life, her hormones may be changing, which may affect her brain chemistry. For example, after having a baby (postpartum period), hormones and physical changes may be overwhelming. Some women experience postpartum depression, a serious form of depression that needs treatment. Other times of hormonal change, such as transition into menopause, may increase a woman's risk for depression.
Stress—loss of a loved one, a difficult relationship, or any stressful situation may trigger depression in some women.
How is depression treated?
The first step to getting the right treatment is to visit a doctor or mental health professional. He or she can do an exam or lab tests to rule out other conditions that may have the same symptoms as depression. He or she can also tell if certain medications you are taking may be affecting your mood.
The doctor should get a complete history of symptoms, including when they started, how long they have lasted, and how bad they are. He or she should also know whether they have occurred before, and if so, how they were treated. He or she should also ask if there is a history of depression in your family.
Medications called antidepressants can work well to treat depression. They can take several weeks to work. Antidepressants can have side effects including:
- Headache.
- Nausea, feeling sick to your stomach.
- Difficulty sleeping and nervousness.
- Agitation or restlessness.
- Sexual problems.
Most side effects lessen over time. Talk to your doctor about any side effects you may have.
It's important to know that although antidepressants can be safe and effective for many people, they may present serious risks to some, especially children, teens, and young adults. A "black box"—the most serious type of warning that a prescription drug can have—has been added to the labels of antidepressant medications. These labels warn people that antidepressants may cause some people, especially those who become agitated when they first start taking the medication and before it begins to work, to have suicidal thoughts or make suicide attempts. Anyone taking antidepressants should be monitored closely, especially when they first start taking them. For most people, though, the risks of untreated depression far outweigh those of antidepressant medications when they are used under a doctor's careful supervision.
If you are pregnant . . .
Before taking an antidepressant during pregnancy, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits to you and your baby. There may be a very small chance that taking the medication during certain times of your pregnancy may affect your growing baby. But not taking your medication also may be risky to you and your baby. Experts generally agree that each woman's individual situation should determine whether she can safely take an antidepressant while pregnant.
Several types of therapy can help treat depression. Therapy helps by teaching new ways of thinking and behaving, and changing habits that may be contributing to the depression. Therapy can also help women understand and work through difficult relationships that may be causing their depression or making it worse.
How can I help a loved one who is depressed?
If you know someone who has depression, first help her see a doctor or mental health professional.
- Offer her support, understanding, patience, and encouragement.
- Talk to her, and listen carefully.
- Never ignore comments about suicide, and report them to her therapist or doctor.
- Invite her out for walks, outings, and other activities. If she says no, keep trying, but don't push her to take on too much too soon.
- Remind her that with time and treatment, the depression will lift.
How can I help myself if I am depressed?
As you continue treatment, gradually you will start to feel better. Remember that if you are taking an antidepressant, it may take several weeks for it to start working. Try to do things that you used to enjoy before you had depression. Go easy on yourself. Other things that may help include:
- Breaking up large tasks into small ones, and doing what you can as you can. Try not to do too many things at once.
- Spending time with other people and talking to a friend or relative about your feelings.
- Do not make important decisions until you feel better. Discuss decisions with others who know you well.
Where can I go for help?
If you are unsure where to go for help, ask your family doctor. You can also check the phone book for mental health professionals. Milwaukee hospital doctors can help in an emergency.
What if I or someone I know is in crisis?
Women are more likely than men to attempt suicide. If you or someone you know is in crisis, get help quickly.
- Call your doctor.
- Call 911 for emergency services.
- Go to the nearest Milwaukee hospital emergency room.
- Call the toll-free, 24-hour hotline of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255); TTY: 1-800-799-4TTY (4889)

text: Friday, December 09, 2011 House Bill Includes SGR Fix, Extends Cap Exceptions Process Today, the House of Representatives released language of the health care provisions in the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act. The bill updates the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) for 2012 and 2013 by 1% -- negating a scheduled 27.4% reduction in payments to providers, including physical therapists who bill under the fee schedule. The bill also provides a 2-year extension of the therapy cap exceptions process with modifications. As currently written, the bill creates a 2-stage exceptions process. In this 2-stage process, physical therapists would submit claims using the KX modifier when the $1,880 cap is reached. At $3,700 a manual review would be required to ensure that the plan of care is medically necessary. APTA is reviewing this and other provisions of the bill, including the application of these provisions in the outpatient hospital setting and federal agency reporting on the new process. The House is expected to vote on the bill next week. Early next week the Senate is expected to release its version of the bill. Both chambers need to pass their respective bills and send them to conference for a final bill to be drafted and sent back to both the House and Senate for full votes. Thus, today's action by the House is just the beginning of what promises to be a long and uncertain week on Capitol Hill.

DriveControl 20
Control of RollerDrive EC310 in applications without start-stop operation, e.g. in roller curves. Mechanical engineering applications. Applications with PLC, but without fieldbus. Small applications with max. 10 RollerDrive.
The DriveControl 20 is a simple control for the RollerDrive EC310. It does not contain any logic (e.g. for zero-pressure accumulation conveying) and requires external signals.
DIP switches can be used to set the direction of rotation, a start and braking ramp and the speed in 15 increments. Digital inputs and outputs serve as interface to a higher-level control. This enables setting the direction of rotation and the speed in 7 increments, e.g. from a PLC. The braking energy of the RollerDrive EC310 is fed back into the 24-V supply system. The voltage fed back from the RollerDrive EC310 is limited at 30 V by means of the integral brake chopper (voltage-dependently switched load resistance).
- Speed setting (DIP switches 15x, digital input 7x)
- Speed setting (DIP switches 15x, digital input 7x)
- Error signal output
- Status display with LEDs
- Voltage limitation via brake chopper

Hulu Enters Private Beta, Divulges Massive Content
Hulu.com, NBC's online venture with News Corp., has entered private-beta stage. Click on over to the site to sign up.
Why? Because NBC has signed deals with MGM (full-length films and TV shows), Universal (movies) and Sony Pictures Television (40 TV shows), as well as Fox (TV and movies) and NBC, naturally. Hulu will also offer content from the spin-off networks (Bravo, E!, Sci-Fi Channel, USA, etc.) as well as grab-bag entries from the Smithsonian and World Wresting Entertainment.
It's all free, and ad-supported. And in case they run out of money, Hulu signed a $100 million investment deal from private equity firm Providence Equity Partners.
What content will Hulu be offering, specifically? There's a long list, so we'll publish the names after the jump. First, though, we'll show you where Hulu is potentially screwing up.
Here's the danger sign, right here in the press release: "While Hulu.com is debuting in private beta, consumers will be able to also visit Hulu's vast network of distribution partner websites: AOL, Comcast's Fancast.com, MSN, MySpace and Yahoo! to enjoy the extensive library of premium long-form and clip content. Together, these companies represent some of the most visited web destinations, bringing content to consumers where they are already spending much of their time. Each distribution partner features a unique, customized video player, ensuring a seamless viewing experience on all of their sites." (Emphasis mine.)
Oh, for the love of... You see where this is going, don't you? I talked about how I (and you, I'd bet) hate the incompatible video players used by the networks on their Web sites. If Hulu forces us to download five different player applications with five different player schemes, then it's dead. TV is TV, people. It uses one DRM format. Love it, learn it, or quit right now.
But you clicked through to find out what's on, right? Here it is, mixing movies with TV shows:
At launch of beta, Hulu's programming will include the following full-length episodes, clips and feature films:
The Simpsons
The Office
Friday Night Lights
Battlestar Galactica

Bionic Woman

D7: RIM: Wireless Apps Won't Be the Same As Wired Ones
Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO of Research in Motion said at the D7 conference that his company was working on new devices and new applications, but said people are seeing networks slow down today, so applications and devices had to be designed to work on the networks that will exist.
"We're just at the beginning" of the movement toward smart mobile devices such as RIM's BlackBerry, Lazaridis said. He talked about BES 5.0 and how BlackBerries were now getting to be expected in corporate settings, and how the BlackBerry, led by the Pearl, now has 50 percent market share in the North American smart phone market. Conference host Walt Mossberg suggested that smart phone is the wrong name for these new products, and Lazaridis seemed to agree, saying it was a new computing platform that was very personal and that you carried with you.
RIM has been around for 25 years, and the first BlackBerry came out 10 years ago. In the beginning we had to disguise these products as pagers, but we always knew this was a new platform. There has always been competition, he said.
Mossberg pushed on the competitive landscape, but Lazaridis kept focusing on what the BlackBerry offered - what t he said was a platform that was "second to none" for corporate scalability, security, and email. He said it was easier to move from the corporate market to the consumer market than the reverse, for things like security. He talked about how the company has provided security and virtualization for years. He said the OS is the same for running the network, the OS, and the applications, with features such as multitasking; and has been for a long time. "We just don't promote the OS," he said.
Lazaridis was very clear RIM has had application download for a long time, and said 10 million people downloaded Facebook to their BlackBerry before there was an Appworld application store. But the new store has made it much more visible and easier for people to download more things.
Mossberg push him on what went wrong with the Storm, and Lazaridis disputed the notion, saying it was the third best selling product in North America (with the Curve in first place.) But he said RIM will keep making the Storm better and better, but "we're not afraid to try new things." He said the company was committed to SurePress and SureType.
When asked about the tablet, he wasn't sure about the form factor, but said e-books were inevitable, as was convergence of multiple devices.
On the networks, Lazaridis talked about the importance of network scalability. He recounted how the original BlackBerry was designed to work on much older networks. In the current world, with every application using more bandwidth, he said the industry needed to design applications to conserve bandwidth. It takes the bandwidth of 100 to 1000 voice calls to stream video, he said. So he said it may be a mistake to expect the wired experience in a wireless world.
Instead, he said, applications should be optimized for the wireless network, with things like compression, proxies within the network or push email that needs to ask for data less often. But he said, the most important thing was that the experience had to be great for the customer.
When asked about malware, Lazaridis said he hadn't seen any on the BlackBerry yet, but talked about the importance of security as people start to use these devices for applications such as banking. He also said the company did North American manufacturing as part of the R&D process, but also used offshore manufacturing partners. He said the company was patient but committed to expanding BlackBerry in markets like India and China.
In the long run he said, devices would be more personalized; and the overall goal he said was "to delight our customers."

A Presidential Declaration of Independence from Wall Street -Part 1
This is part thirty-four of a series of blogs based on excerpts adapted from the 2nd edition of Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth. I wrote Agenda to spur a national conversation on economic policy issues and options that are otherwise largely ignored. This blog series is intended to contribute to that conversation. —DK
We in America rely on foreign consumer credit to live ever further beyond our own means, while allowing our physical, social, and productive infrastructure to deteriorate from neglect. It is the classic path of a dying Empire in decline and denial.
America needs a new national vision, a story of possibility to guide our way in a 21st century world much changed from the world in which we achieved our greatness. Perhaps one day an American president will spell it out in an inaugural or state of the union address along the following lines.
In the meantime, a hypothetical presidential address provides a useful device to frame a New Economy vision for America.
Fellow Citizens:
My administration came to office with a mandate for bold action to deal with the evident failure of our most powerful economic institutions. The excesses of Wall Street have crippled our economy; burdened our federal, state, and local governments with debilitating debts; divided us into the profligate and the desperate; corrupted our political institutions; and threatened the destruction of the natural environment on which our very lives depend.
This devastation is the product of a failed economic ideology that says if government favors the financial interests of the rich to the disregard of all else, everyone will benefit and the nation will prosper. A thirty-year experiment with this perversion of both logic and basic moral values demonstrates that it works only for Wall Street bankers who put profits ahead of people and produce nothing of real value.
Wall Street's success comes at an enormous cost to the nation, and to the folks on Main Street who do honest, productive work and make honest, productive investments. We now live with the devastating consequences of Wall Street's ill-conceived social engineering experiment in market deregulation and tax avoidance for the rich: a disappearing American middle class and a crumbling physical infrastructure; failing schools; millions without health care; dependence on imported goods, food, and energy, and even essential military hardware.
This is not a broken system in need of a fix. It is a failed system that must be replaced with a new system in tune with the lessons of experience and the realities of the 21st century.
We have been measuring economic performance against GDP, or gross domestic product, which essentially measures the rate at which we are converting useful resources into toxic garbage to make money for Wall Street. Let us henceforth measure economic performance by the indicators of what we really want: the health and well-being of our children, families, communities, and the natural environment.
Like a healthy ecosystem, a healthy twenty-first-century economy must have strong local roots and maximize the beneficial capture, storage, sharing, and use of local energy, water, nutrients, and other mineral resources. That is what we must seek to achieve, community by community, all across this great nation, by unleashing the creative energies of our people and our local governments, businesses, and civic organizations.
The policies of this administration henceforth will favor the people and businesses of Main Street—people who are working to rebuild our local communities, restore the middle class, and bring our natural environment back to health. Together we can actualize the founding ideals of our nation as we restore the health of our economy.
- We will strive for local and national food independence by rebuilding our local food systems based on family farms and environmentally friendly farming methods that rebuild the soil, maximize yields per acre, eliminate the need for toxic chemicals, and create opportunities for the many young people who are returning to the land.
- We will strive for local and national energy independence by supporting local entrepreneurs who are creating and growing businesses to retrofit our buildings and develop and apply renewable-energy technologies.
- We will take steps to assure that our future trade relations are balanced and fair, return manufacturing jobs to America, rebuild our manufacturing capacity on an environmentally sound closed-loop manufacturing model, and learn to live within our own means.
- We will rebuild our national infrastructure around a model of walkable, bicycle-friendly communities with efficient public transportation to conserve energy, nurture the relationships of community, and recover our agricultural and forest lands.
- A strong middle-class society is an American ideal. We will act to restore that ideal through appropriate steps to assure access by every person to high-quality health care, education, and other essential services. We will restore progressive taxation, as well as progressive wage and benefit rules, to protect working people.
- We will create a true ownership society through economic policies that favor responsible ownership of locally rooted enterprises by people who have a stake in the health of their own communities and economies.
My administration will reorder priorities at the national level to support your efforts at the local level to advance these outcomes.
[Next: A Presidential Declaration of Independence from Wall Street - Part 2]
David Korten: We're in the midst of a contest of competing stories—one fabricated to serve the interests of Empire; the other an authentic story born of the experience and aspirations of ordinary people.
David Korten: What America's current movement against corporate power can learn from that time we overthrew a king.
It's time we the people declare our independence from the money-favoring Wall Street economy.

John Cena "Word Life" Authentic T-Shirt
John Cena "Word Life" Authentic T-Shirt
Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of The Cenation with this commemorative John Cena Limited Edition re-released Authentic T-Shirt!
Cena's second ever tee. It was Cena's answer to urban culture's adoration for old-school culture, but more than that, it was Cena saying, "Here's history, watch me change it."
* Authentic WWE Wear - The Official Shirt of the WWE Superstars
* Classic Fit
* 100% cotton
* Screen printed in the USA
Throughout the past decade, Cena has amassed many honors, most notably an amazing 10 WWE Championships and two World Heavyweight Titles. Show your support with this WWE Authentic collection.
Say what you want, but for the past 10 years, WWE and John Cena have been synonymous. One cannot be so readily identified without the other. Cena is considered one of the most recognizable Superstars in WWE history – an incredible feat when one considers the pantheon of sports-entertainment immortals that have preceded him, or the fact that he is such a polarizing figure among the passionate members of the WWE Universe. To them, Cena is either WWE's greatest hero, or its most reviled Superstar. There is no middle ground, nor is there ever likely to be. Cena's ring debut – a match against Kurt Angle on the June 27, 2002, edition of SmackDown – didn't end in victory on the canvas. Many cite Cena's arrival that night, though, as the dawn of a new era in WWE. Fast-forward 10 years, and you'll see a 12-time World Champion who's a 1st-ballot WWE Hall of Famer … and he's still in the prime of an already stellar WWE career.

Dell confirms first Android-based smartphone
Launch announced, specs not
Dell has officially announced its first branded smartphone – the Mini 3i.
Dell's Mini 3i will appear in China later this month
The PC manufacturer hasn't released a list of the phone's technical specifications - perhaps an indication that Dell executives have yet to sign off on the Mini 3i's features.
However, the firm has confirmed that the Mini 3i is based on the oPhone platform - a China Mobile developed smartphone platform based on version 1.5 of Android, the latter meaning that developers can use both the oPhone's API and Android's API to write oPhone applications.
Mini 3i was fondled - albeit in concept form, at least according to Dell – at a China Mobile event back in August, at which point it emerged that the smartphone had a 3.5in screen, 3Mp camera and 2.5G connectivity support.
Mini USB features, we at least know
Dell has, so far, only said that its smartphone will be launched into China this month through carrier China Mobile. Brazil will be second on the list in December, Dell added.
Plans to pitch the Mini 3i into Europe haven't been confirmed, but Dell already has "existing agreements" with the likes of Vodafone in Europe – so we'd wager that a UK Mini 3i launch isn't totally out of the question. ®

VCU STARTERS: Cullen (CF), Bunn (LF), Cujas (3B), Ayers (C), Machin (SS), Prentiss (RF), Thomas (DH), Weymouth (2B), Marino (1B), Dwyer (P)
UNC ASHEVILLE STARTERS: Towels (2B), Miller (SS), McIntosh (3B), Graham (C), Creighton (DH), Bryant (1B), Joyner (RF), Tredway (CF), Houmard (LF), Roland (P)
THE BASICS: VCU set new season-highs in runs (12) and hits (14) as they rolled past UNC Asheville, 12-1 in the first game of the Charleston Crab House Shootout presented by Homewood Suites. Juniors Joey Cujas (pictured right) and Chris Ayers (pictured cover) paced the Rams' offense with three-hits, apiece.
- VCU's (6-0) offense again opened the first inning with a bang. Junior Bill Cullen started the scoring with a leadoff solo homer over the left field wall. The Rams continued to rally in the first, as they put runners on second and third after a double from Cujas. Still with nobody out, Ayers roped a double to the right field wall to score both runners. Ayers moved third on a wild pitch and came home on a RBI groundout by sophomore Vimael Machin.
- UNC Asheville (3-5) battled to get a run back in the top of the second inning. Ian Graham led off the inning with a single, but was retired on a nice diving play by senior Jordan Weymouth, who fired to second a fielder's choice. With one out and a runner first, Hunter Bryant roped a double to the right field wall to bring home the Bulldogs' lone run.
- The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the fifth inning. Cujas started the rally by reaching on an error and Ayers followed with a walk. With one out, the Rams had runners on the corners for junior Landon Prentiss, who lifted a sacrifice fly to right making the score 5-1.
- In the bottom of the seventh inning, Cujas and Ayers sparked another Rams' rally. Cujas led off the inning with his second double of the afternoon and Ayers followed with a single to put runners on the corners. The Bulldogs were able to turn a double play, but Cujas scored to give VCU a 6-1 lead.
- The Black and Gold's best inning of the day was the bottom of the eighth inning. VCU brought 11 batters to the plate and scored six runs to make the score 12-1. Freshman James Bunn, Cujas (two), Ayers, and Prentiss (two) all had RBI's for the Rams in the eighth inning.
- Sophomore Heath Dwyer continued his strong start to the season making the start for the Rams. He threw seven innings, allowed one run and struck out four.
- VCU extended its winning streak to six games for the first time since the 2010 season and stayed on pace for the best start in school history (11-0 in 1989).
- The Rams scored four runs in the first inning and have now outscored opponents 9-0 in the first frame. VCU has also scored at least one run in the first inning in all but one game.
- VCU still has not trailed at any point this season. The Rams streak of being ahead or tied is up to 54 innings.
- For the year, the Rams have outscored opponents by a total of 28-6.
- The Black and Gold set new season-highs in runs (12) and hits (14).
- Cujas and Ayers each had three hits. It was the first time a Ram has recorded three hits in a game this season.
- Prentiss, Weymouth and Cullen all finished with two hits to record multi-hit games.
- Cullen hit his first homerun of the season and seventh of his career in the first inning.
- Ayers and Prentiss each finished with three runs batted in for VCU.
- Redshirt junior Seth Greene came on in relief for the second straight game. He allowed one hit and struck out two.
- Freshman Hunter Absher pitched the ninth inning and allowed one hit in his collegiate debut.
"The key to today was that the middle of our lineup was very good. Chris Ayers and Joey Cujas combined for six hits and Bill Cullen and Landon Prentiss had big days for us as well."
- Head Coach Shawn Stiffler on the Rams' offense
"It's always great to score runs in the first inning. It allows us to put the other team on their heels right away."
- Stiffler on VCU's first inning success
"Heath Dwyer took advantage of [the lead] and threw seven solid innings for us today. It was good to get Seth Greene and Hunter Absher (in his first appearance) on the mound and they both did a great job for us."
-Stiffler on the Rams pitching
The Rams continue play in the Charleston Crab House Shootout tomorrow, Saturday, March 2, against the host Citadel. First pitch is set for 4 p.m.

A boy and his hero
Clemente, Irvin formed a friendship that lasted for decades
By Tom Singer/MLB.com
Roberto Clemente often credited Monte Irvin for his success in the outfield.
Forever, and still, special bonds have existed between the larger-than-life figures who play baseball and the kids who look up to them. These are the ties that connect idol and idolizer.
But rarely are friendships forged from the admiration in 11-year-old eyes for a 26-year-old block of muscle and grace from a foreign land. Certainly few like the one that flowered from a young Roberto Clemente's worship of Negro League icon Monte Irvin.
It was pre-Jackie Robinson and post-World War II. Irvin, the flashy infielder/Outfielder for the Newark Eagles, spent his winters playing for San Juan in Puerto Rico, where his biggest fan was a skinny little kid who saved his pennies for an occasional bus ride to Sixto Escobar Stadium.
The lure for Roberto Clemente was Irvin, the MVP of the Puerto Rico Winter League in the two seasons immediately preceding his Major League ascension in 1947. When Clemente couldn't scrape up the 15-cent bleacher admission, Irvin was his ticket through the gates.
"There'd be youngsters hanging around, and we'd let the kids carry our bags to get in the park for free," recalls Irvin. "Roberto and Orlando Cepeda, they were always there together.
"Clemente always told me he developed a throwing arm like mine because he'd always admired the way I threw the ball. When he got into the Majors, we renewed our friendship. We used to reminisce about the good old days in Puerto Rico."

Jimmy Rollins and Juan Pierre accepted Legacy Awards last week from the employees at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
The motives
Branch Rickey had several reasons for signing Jackie Robinson to a pro contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Historian Steve Goldman has the details.
Segregated Baseball: A Kaleidoscopic review
While the very existence of the Negro Leagues was necessary because of the racial divides in the United States, black baseball not only survived -- it excelled.
Traveling show
Barnstorming was common place in the Negro Leagues.
The most poignant aspect of this May-December kinship -- although Irvin had two more seasons with the Giants and the Cubs after Clemente broke in with the 1955 Pirates, he was 15 years his senior -- is the fact the two men entered the Hall of Fame together in 1973.
That also is the saddest part, because Clemente did so posthumously. The traditional five-year waiting period for induction was waived after he died in the crash of a plane carrying relief supplies to earthquake victims.
Irvin, 82, still vibrantly recalls their bond.
"We remained close friends, right up to the time of his crash," Irvin says. "I sure wish he could've been there the day I entered the Hall. Having his wife (Vera) there made up for it a little bit. That was a very moving day for me.
"She and their three sons are still close to me. I've been back in Puerto Rico to visit them a few times."
Irvin was never surprised, only flattered, that a young kid would focus on him as a role model. And he was proud when the kid grew up into a fabulous Major Leaguer, and continued to pay him homage.
"Age doesn't matter if you're a baseball player," Irvin says. "Young or old, it's the same game. After we'd play against each other, we'd say hello and go have dinner together.
"Watching him play, yeah, he did remind me of myself a little," Irvin says. "He was a good hitter, could run and field, was daring on the bases and always stepped on the field with enthusiasm. And he could throw. He didn't have just a great arm -- he had an accurate arm."
One Clemente trademark Irvin won't take credit for is the underhanded flip. After routine flies, or even after gloving hits on which the base runners clearly were not trying to advance, Clemente would zing the ball back to the infield with a submarine flick of his wrist.
He got more on those throws than contemporaries could get with their full weights behind the traditional overhand heave.
"No, I didn't do that," says Irvin, who showcased his arm by ringing up 45 assists in 585 big-league games in the outfield. "He and Willie Mays came up with that when they played together in the winter of 1953-54."

Titans' Taylor Lewan to go to trial in fan-punching case
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Titans rookie Taylor Lewan will go to trial in October on charges he punched an Ohio State fan.
The former Michigan offensive tackle is accused of hitting the fan after the Buckeyes beat the Wolverines last season. He is charged with one count of aggravated assault and two counts of assault and battery.
He was told during a pretrial hearing Thursday to return to Ann Arbor District Court on Oct. 27 for jury selection. The trial could begin the next morning.
The Titans will not be preparing that week for a game, minimizing the possible impact of Lewan being back near his college campus. Lewan, drafted No. 11 overall, is one of three players drafted this year without a contract.
Lewan and the Titans declined to comment after the pretrial hearing. When asked about the possibility of a plea bargain, Lewan's attorney, John Shea, said: "Who knows what the future holds?" He is "assuming" the case will be decided by jurors.
Shea asked for an expanded pool of jurors because of the publicity the case is getting and the request was granted, increasing the pool from 30 to 45.
A conference is scheduled for Oct. 23, with Lewan able to participate by phone. Both sides will share lists of expected witnesses and exhibits.
"It's not just housekeeping but ... making sure that things are going to go smoothly," Shea said.
According to an Ann Arbor police report obtained by The Associated Press, Lewan told police he only was separating people, but later acknowledged he "could have pushed someone." James Hughes of Denver said Lewan hit him in the face. Alexandra Dileo, whose brother was a college teammate of Lewan's, said "Taylor is lying" about his actions on Dec. 1.
"He knocked the guy to the ground and he punched him," she told police in a telephone interview Jan. 29, according to the report. She recalled hearing Lewan tell his mother "I knocked a guy out" the next morning while they were having breakfast.
Lewan, Hughes, Dileo and others interviewed by police acknowledged they had been drinking on the night in question. Lewan's motives were "related" to the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry and to "levels of intoxication," the report said.
Dileo expressed concerns to police that people would feel she was lying because she and Lewan had broken up, according to the report. But she said she "knows what happened and Taylor is lying."
Lewan gave his side of the story before the NFL draft to many teams, including the Titans.
"I'm happy that they believed in my character, the kind of person I am," Lewan said during a conference call the night he was drafted. "My job is to not do reckless things off the field. My job is to make sure my quarterback is safe and my running backs are in good positions to gain yards."
Lewan is expected to back up both new right tackle Michael Oher and veteran left tackle Michael Roos, but coach Ken Whisenhunt has said Lewan can earn a starting spot.

Pair charged after robbery during husband's wake
Tewksbury police call crime 'particularly heinous'
Laura Fleury knows what it means to get hit while you're down. Her Tewksbury home was robbed in December while she and her sons were at her husband's wake.
"I really didn't think I'd get anything back. I figured once it was stolen it was gone," she said.
Thieves had broken in and ripped their electronics from the walls while the family was mourning the death of Wayne Fleury. Police called the crime "particularly heinous."
This week, police arrested Julia Didonato, 20, and Michael Shannon, 19, both of whom have criminal records for breaking and entering.
Police said the pair sold some of the stolen goods, including a laptop, to a friend.
"He went home, opened up the laptop and found a label with an address that belonged to the victim in the case. He typed the address into Google," said Tewksbury Detective Michael Donovan.
Information about the robbery quickly showed up in the Google search.
Police said that man turned over the laptop, turned in the couple and helped recover some of the other missing electronics, which were located at a Methuen pawn shop.
"We emphasized to the police that of everything taken the most important to us was the computers because they had all my husband's music, his songs," Laura Fleury said. "If I got anything back, those were the two things I wanted more than anything. And those were what was brought back, so it was pretty amazing."
Didonato and Shannon are charged with possessing stolen property. Police said more charges could be filed

How to Use the Images Photo 1
Photo 1
Photographs were taken of the Freeman School in the early 1900s. Many of the early photographs have never been recovered. However, the surviving photographs provide important visual information that can help people determine the types of activities that took place at the Freeman School and what the school looked like in its early years.Questions for Photo 2
1. What age does the youngest student appear to be? What age does the oldest student appear to be? What challenges might this have created for the teacher?
2. Do you think all the students studied the same thing at the same time? Why or why not?

I feel your pain. I looked for them this weekend and found nothing but a price tag and an empty shelf where they should be.

Are you kidding me? You have a ton of loyal fans, I am sure somebody will go to Walmart for you! :D
Also, my Target has the little sticker up on the shelf but no product either! Very bizarre. They do have the chocolate Halloween kind that sounds yummy...

Our Target store had 2 entire shelves of the Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts and the Pumpkin kisses last Tuesday. I bought one of each. Went back this weekend for more and everything was gone. No more. Poof! I guess Kellogg's underestimated America's love of everything pumpkin.

Pop Tart Store opens at 11am...Im at work but I found this article...
There is also a Varietizer, a custom-built vending machine that carries about 23 of the regular Pop-Tart flavors (seasonal offerings, like pumpkin and gingerbread, are excluded for now). Customers use a touch screen to select six two-packs of the tarts for $12, assembling their own variety packs.

I know this is an old post and no one is probably reading it (or the comments) anymore, but I thought I'd put in my 2 cents. Went to Target (80 miles away) and there were tons of these available. It should be noted though that the choco-lantern Halloween ones were sold out everywhere. I live in the Rocky Mtn region, and we must have totally tastes or something because you had to pay people to take these home. So weird.
And they were delicious =)

Funny to think of all those pumpkin pop tarts waiting on the shelves.

Nokia launches 6670 business phone
The 6670 model would be available in early October, the world's top handset maker said. The smartphone, which uses Symbian software, would be sold at around 500 euros ($612), Nokia Oyj said in a statement.
Nokia pleased the market this month when it said earnings would fall by less than expected in the third quarter thanks to strong handset demand.
But the firm still lacks phones with cameras and a foldaway design. It has a number of phones due out this quarter and next as it seeks to claw back market share from rivals such as Samsung Electronics.

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) – update
24 April 2014 - On 22 April 2014, the Ministry of Health of Jordan reported an additional laboratory-confirmed case of infection with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV).
The patient is a 25 year-old man from Al Grayat City, Saudi Arabia. He became ill on 9 April, was admitted to a hospital in Saudi Arabia on 10 April and discharged from the hospital on 15 April, against medical advice. As his condition did not improve, he sought medical care at another hospital in Zarka City, Jordan on 19 April, where he was tested positive for MERS-CoV. The patient has underlying medical conditions and has a history of travel to Abha Mecca and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from 3 to 8 April. He has history of contact with camels and is also reported to have consumed camel milk.
Globally, from September 2012 to date, WHO has been informed of a total of 254 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection with MERS-CoV, including 93 deaths.
WHO advice
Based on the current situation and available information, WHO encourages all Member States to continue their surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) and to carefully review any unusual patterns.
Infection prevention and control measures are critical to prevent the possible spread of MERS-CoV in health care facilities. Health-care facilities that provide for patients suspected or confirmed to be infected with MERS-CoV infection should take appropriate measures to decrease the risk of transmission of the virus from an infected patient to other patients, health-care workers and visitors. Health care workers should be educated, trained and refreshed with skills on infection prevention and control.
It is not always possible to identify patients with MERS-CoV early because some have mild or unusual symptoms. For this reason, it is important that health-care workers apply standard precautions consistently with all patients – regardless of their diagnosis – in all work practices all the time.
Droplet precautions should be added to the standard precautions when providing care to all patients with symptoms of acute respiratory infection. Contact precautions and eye protection should be added when caring for probable or confirmed cases of MERS-CoV infection. Airborne precautions should be applied when performing aerosol generating procedures.
Patients should be managed as potentially infected when the clinical and epidemiological clues strongly suggest MERS-CoV, even if an initial test on a nasopharyngeal swab is negative. Repeat testing should be done when the initial testing is negative, preferably on specimens from the lower respiratory tract.
Health-care providers are advised to maintain vigilance. Recent travellers returning from the Middle East who develop SARI should be tested for MERS-CoV as advised in the current surveillance recommendations. All Member States are reminded to promptly assess and notify WHO of any new case of infection with MERS-CoV, along with information about potential exposures that may have resulted in infection and a description of the clinical course. Investigation into the source of exposure should promptly be initiated to identify the mode of exposure, so that further transmission of the virus can be prevented.
People at high risk of severe disease due to MERS-CoV should avoid close contact with animals when visiting farms or barn areas where the virus is known to be potentially circulating. For the general public, when visiting a farm or a barn, general hygiene measures, such as regular hand washing before and after touching animals, avoiding contact with sick animals, and following food hygiene practices, should be adhered to.
WHO does not advise special screening at points of entry with regard to this event nor does it currently recommend the application of any travel or trade restrictions.

The game at Carrow Road is the last before Chelsea take on Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup fourth round, which will be a rerun of the Premier League fixture that saw Terry accused of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand.
A court case is due to begin four days after the cup game and Andre Villas-Boas, the Chelsea manager, found himself being quizzed on team selection unusually early this week.
"I'll have no problem picking John - not at all," Villas-Boas said. "He'll have to compete against three others, but we'll make the right decision."
Cahill's £7million transfer from Bolton Wanderers was completed in time for the Norwich game but Villas-Boas made no promises that he would replace David Luiz, whose performances have been erratic this season.
Villas-Boas indicated that the centre-back might need more time to "adapt to the group" at a time when Branislav Ivanovic, the Serbia international, is back in training following a hamstring injury.
Fourth-place Chelsea will kick off at Norwich 11 points behind leaders Manchester City despite three successive wins, two of which have been in the Premier League at the expense of Wolverhampton Wanderers and then Sunderland.
City are at home to Tottenham, the side in third position, on Sunday while second place Manchester United travel to the side in fifth, Arsenal.
The opportunity is there for Chelsea to improve their standing but Villas-Boas wasn't paying too much attention to the weekend's top-billing fixtures.
"We need to find consistency in our own performances," he said. "It will be better if we beat Norwich but I don't care what happens in the other matches this weekend, we need to do our own job first and foremost."
Norwich, who were a League One side two seasons ago, are thriving under manager Paul Lambert and will kick off in ninth place.
Villas-Boas made it clear he had been impressed by the Scot, whose side won at West Bromwich Albion last week.
"It's a great pleasure when teams achieve something with a certain style," he said. "Victories are important for motivation, the way they play is very positive, they are fully motivated players with complete commitment to their manager and each other.
"They have had an excellent run of results, and they continue to surprise established teams in the league, which shows the value of the work Paul and his team are doing."
Chelsea beat Norwich 3-1 at Stamford Bridge in August but the game had been poised at 1-1 until goalkeeper John Ruddy was sent off conceding a penalty 10 minutes from time.
The Canaries are likely to prove stubborn opponents once more, with Steve Morison, the Wales international, their major goal threat.
Last season saw another freshly-promoted side, Blackpool, make an impressive start to the season before form fell away sharply, leading to relegation at the end of the season.
Lambert was confident that would not happen to his players however.
"That could happen to anybody but we are a different club," he said. "We're like everybody else. We need players to keep their form and hope we don't get injuries and suspensions.
"The lads are playing with a lot of confidence at the minute. I'm delighted with what they have done for me. I don't think anybody visualised this, but we are halfway through and there is a long, long way to go."

IT could be tempting to be cynical about a Prada show – to go in with the attitude that of course everybody will love it, just because it's Prada. But every season Miuccia takes a new turn and, every season, we go with her.
This time we walked into the usual Milanese venue to find it had been turned into a huge parking lot complete with cartoon Styrofoam cars for us to sit on. And just like that, just like last summer's bananas and monkeys, Prada presented us with another motif that we'd never have considered before and yet now consider a must-have.
Cars – cartoon ones printed onto white shirts like they would be on a young boy's bedroom curtains, or appliquéd onto dark green or brown pencil skirts with Thunderbird flames of exhaust bursting out behind them.
Unbelievable, maybe, but desirable – definitely. The heels (which also had ornate flames shooting out from them), clip clipped along the catwalk echoed by the same footsteps on the soundtrack. It could have been spooky but we were far too distracted by the clothes to imagine the model was alone in a car park. The moment we saw them, we knew that they'll become the iconic pieces of next season – clothes that we'll immediately be able to place as spring/summer 2012. You always know it's a good show when that happens.
So – grey felt coats, slightly bulging at the back, with appliqué flowers all over the front in blue and cream or in orange and green; stiff, knife-pleated skirts worn to the knee where flames of exhaust begin to ride up their pale pink broderie anglaise; cotton tube tops worn over pencil skirts featuring the matching car print and leaving the stomach completely bare; cotton house coats in pale blue with lapels in a contrasting print; elastic waisted dresses that were gathered above and below in swirls of pink, black and mint or simply green and vanilla – as if the exhaust fumes were cooling down – then they came full skirted and long sleeved and smocked over the waist band.
There were Fifties-style swimsuits in layered up plum satin, red lamé and black satin to bring exaggerated shape to the bust, and then pale gold satin jackets that were embellished with rhinestones at the shoulder featured more cars on the back as if the Pink Ladies have turned tom boy.
If a good collection means a new idea perfectly executed, then Miuccia Prada comes top of the class. If you're in any doubt that this woman could have you carrying a Fifties-style brown leather handbag with a car emblazoned on it next summer – remember this is the woman who put bananas on Anna Wintour's skirt last time around. You better believe it.

Planning Strategy:
As part of the University of Pennsylvania Penn's ongoing commitment to bringing vibrant real estate development to University City, and providing off campus residential options for faculty, students and staff, Penn purchased a surface parking lot from the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority under the agreement that it would be converted into a mixed-use development including residential and street level retail. Penn's real estate strategy is to attract outside investment from the private development market. Penn leased the land to The Hanover Company, a Houston-based developer, for 65 years.
Domus is an eight-story luxury apartment complex with 290 apartments, 23,000 square feet of commercial space, and a 6 story parking garage. Amenities include a heated outdoor pool, private screening room, WiFi Internet café, and a 24-hour concierge. Apartments units include 10-foot ceilings, gourmet kitchens and walk-in closets. A lineup of as yet unnamed retail stores will be included on the street level. In addition, internationally known sculptor Dennis Oppenheim created a significant public art installation "Wave Forms" as part of Philadelphia's One Percent for Art program.

Anger that leads to threats and verbal abuse is not okay in
any relationship. They are forms of emotional abuse. If you live in fear of
physical or emotional abuse, call your doctor.
It may be hard for
you to ask for help or talk about the abuse. There are many reasons you may
feel this way. Often abusers use psychological, emotional, and physical abuse
along with apologies, promises, and affection to control their victims. You may
feel confused and hold on to the hope that your abuser will change. Your abuser
may ask for forgiveness, make promises to stop, act loving, or buy you gifts.
Along with painful times, there may be loving moments and happy memories. Your
abuser may be a good provider or parent.
Once abuse starts, it
usually gets worse if steps are not taken to stop it. Verbal and emotional
abuse can turn into physical violence. If you are in an abusive relationship,
ask for help. This may be hard, but know you are not alone. The National Domestic Violence Hotline can help you find resources
in your area. Call toll-free:
1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233), or see the Web site at www.ndvh.org
Living in an abusive
relationship can cause long-term health problems. Some of these health problems
Women who are sexually abused by their partners have a
greater chance of having
sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies,
and other problems.
Violence can get worse during pregnancy.
Abused women are more likely to have problems such as low weight gain, anemia,
infections, and bleeding during pregnancy. Abuse during this time may increase
the baby's risk of low birth weight, premature birth, or death.
Domestic violence also affects children who witness abuse or who may experience dating abuse. Children who
grow up in a violent home are likely to have more problems with depression,
poor school performance, aggressive behavior, withdrawal, and complaints like
stomachaches and headaches. Teens are more likely to use drugs and alcohol,
have behavior problems, or try suicide.
Growing up in a violent
home teaches children that violence is a normal way of life. It may increase
the chance that they will be part of a violent relationship as adults, either
as abusers or as victims.

text: I found this knife in the backyard when I bought this house back in '74. It was in bad shape, so it was used for occasional root pruning and such. The handle was loose and full of cracks and the blade was well pitted. After I received my Takeda gyuto I got a different perspective on irregular surfaces in the sides of knives, so I decided to redo the handle and sharpen the old thing up. Then I saw someone reshape the blade of a very similar knife over at the other forum, and got more ideas, which may or may not see the light of day. Anyway, I uncovered a makers mark, it was made by the Ontario Knife Company. The blade is 14 inches long.

Panic on the streets of Kickstarter: end of the gold rush?
Britain's indie A-listers are asking Kickstarter for millions to fund their latest games, and victory is by no means assured. Patrick Garratt asks whether or not there's been a failure to judge the mood.
Molyneux, Braben and the Olivers have gone to Kickstarter in the space of a few weeks and asked for £1.8 million. And it appears Britain's old-timers have misjudged the gold rush.
Fear's risen in the British indie space in the past few weeks, and it isn't based on the regular issue of being able to afford the next can of beans. Senior UK developers Peter Molyneux, David Braben and the Oliver twins have taken their ambitions to Kickstarter. And all's not well.
Their goals are lofty. Braben's asking for £1.25 million to fund a new version of yesteryear classic Elite. Molyneux wants £450,000 to create a new god game, Godus, which he hopes will hark back to the "glory days" of Bullfrog and reinvent the genre. The Olivers are looking for £350,000 for the first Dizzy game in over 20 years.
There's been friction. Elite, particularly, has come under fire from the twitterati for being a pitch along the lines of, "Remember Elite? It was great! Give me a million quid and I'll give you another one." The Elite proposal caused particular ire because the original page contained no video and little information. If you compare it to Limit Theory's Kickstarter – which is showing what appears to be a relatively mature procedural space game with a funding limit of $50,000 – it's pretty easy to see why there was skepticism.
Godus, too, has been caught up in the moaning. Here we have Peter Molyneux, a successful man, asking the gaming populous (sorry) for a great deal of cash to get back into god sims. There's no gameplay video, a few concept screens and some documentary-style footage of Peter and the other 22 Cans guys talking about what they want to do.
Nerves are setting in. 22 Cans has started releasing dev diary updates on Godus, first talking about Molyneux's old games and elements the studio's going to re-use. Braben has now shown off what is purported to be multiplayer gameplay, exhibiting two ships flying through an asteroid belt. We've also seen some cloud technology in a video of Braben talking about procedural generation, but it's obvious the "game" either doesn't exist or is too early to show.
While there was initial excitement over the Elite Kickstarter, the total seems to have largely stalled at around £600,000. The situation is more easily noticeable if you look at the Dizzy pitch: after six days, just over £16,000 has been amassed, a drop in the total's ocean. There's a strong chance the project won't get funded.
Molyneux, Braben and the Olivers have gone to Kickstarter in the space of a few weeks and asked for £1.8 million. It appears Britain's old-timers have misjudged the gold rush.
While Molyneux's a natural showman and now "only" has £300,000 to raise in 24 days to get Godus funded, Braben is defending a sticky wicket. He needs to pull in some £650,000 in a little over a month to get Elite off the ground, and while the IP does have a fabulous legacy, David has none of Peter's pizazz. Perhaps Elite was too long ago. Perhaps the project he brought to Kickstarter should have been more mature, like Limit Theory or Big Robot's Sir, You Are Being Hunted. These smaller projects are seemingly further along and have lower goals (Sir was funded quickly at a target of £40,000). Molyneux will probably get there: it wouldn't be surprising if Braben and the Olivers missed their targets.
The problem here isn't that people don't want a new Elite or a new Dizzy, but that they don't want to feel as though they're being ripped off. These are relatively large sums of money, applicable in the traditional style of development where you have a sizable team working in an office. Kickstarter has shown us that small, remote groups can put together attractive games for a fraction of the cost, and that people are prepared to pay for them, to fund the underdog. Yes, Double Fine and inXile raised $3 million a piece for a new point-and-clicker and Wasteland 2, but that was back in the spring and the concept of cutting out the publisher was fresh (also, watch Schafer's video on the Kickstarter page: if you're not laughing within 30 seconds there's something wrong with your brain). Wing Commander creator Chris Roberts recently took over $2 million out of Kickstarter for Star Citizen, but it was pitched with some incredible PR assets showing hulking carriers and space combat zipping along to a heart-bursting score. Crucially, too, all these developers are American.
What happens if the big UK projects don't get funded? It will almost certainly mean the end of any chance of another Elite game being made (it's unlikely there'd be a Kickstarter attempt unless it was necessary). Dizzy's been off the table for the last two decades, and what does it say of the future of 22 Cans if Godus doesn't make it?
We'll soon find out. Kickstarter's role in game creation is already mature, and competition is intense. Crowd-sourcing does still apply to the reality of the larger modern indie dev – the one where ultra-conservative disc-sellers won't go near point-and-click adventures or mid-budget space sims – but raising an amount in excess of £1 million may require more than some cloud tech and a logo.

'Full House' Cast Reunites at Dave Coulier's Wedding [PHOTOS]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
The cast of 'Full House' are known for their frequent reunions, which of course are lovingly plastered all over Instagram for the world (and die-hard Tanner family fanatics) to see. And Dave Coulier's rural Montana wedding on July 2 was no exception, with Candace Cameron Bure, John Stamos and Andrea Barber all 'grammin it up.
While some of our favorite 'Full House' stars were notably absent from the pics, it doesn't mean that they weren't there. In fact, Coulier's rep revealed that both Bob Saget and Lori Loughlin would be in attendance, and Candace Cameron Bure even said that her TV dad would be making a toast to the groom.
"[Bob Saget] will be making some kind of toast, and I can only imagine what will come out of his mouth," the 'DWTS' alum revealed to PEOPLE before the wedding, laughing. "Dave and Bob have been best friends since they were in their early 20s … so it will be funny. I'm sure we will have the tissues out because there will be tears streaming down from crying and laughing so hard."

Re: Cursed: Pirates of the New World (RPG)
Captain Morrigan Blackmoon was surprised to see his First Mate back on the Harbynger so soon.
"I do believe it should be time to call in the dogs, Mister Kennedy. I think they've had their fun. Of course, there is the simple matter of our ill gotten gains. How goes the treasure hunt?" the good Captain asked with a wry smile.
