Screening Guidelines
Screening for genital herpes is not recommended for everyone. But, if you are being tested or treated for other sexually transmitted disease , your doctor may screen you for genital herpes. Having multiple sex partners puts you at an increased risk of being infected with the virus.
If you are pregnant, your doctor will ask you if you have genital herpes and examine you for any sores in your genital area. A test may also be done to find out if you do have the virus. This is especially important at the time of labor to avoid spreading the virus to your baby.

Meal-delivery volunteer: 'It's not much, but it's something'
Jim Sveinsson
NAME: Jim Sveinsson
BEST KNOWN AS: Home-delivered meals volunteer
HOMETOWN: Park Ridge
Updated: October 14, 2012 12:14PM
PARK RIDGE — For residents of the eight to 10 homes he drives to each week, Jim Sveinsson just might be the most important visitor of the day.
Every Monday, Sveinsson comes bearing food — a sandwich and fruit for lunch, a hot meal to be reheated for dinner.
Sveinsson, of Park Ridge, is one of more than 35 volunteers with the Norwood Seniors Network's Home-Delivered Meals Program, a service traditionally referred to as "meals on wheels." Meals are prepared by Norwood Crossing, a senior-care residence in Chicago's Norwood Park Neighborhood, picked up by volunteers and transported to homes across the city's Northwest Side, Park Ridge, Niles, Harwood Heights, Rosemont and portions of Des Plaines.
Sveinsson has been a Home-Delivered Meals volunteer for more than 10 years, becoming involved following the death of his 102-year-old mother, Ela, who lived at Norwood Crossing, formerly known as Norwood Park Home.
"I had been retired for a couple of years at the time and I figured I'd like to do some volunteer work," Sveinsson recounted. "I thought of Norwood Park Home, where my mother was."
Delivering freshly prepared meals was suggested to Sveinsson, who took up the offer and has been happily visiting home-bound residents ever since.
"It gives me something to do and I'm helping others," he said. "I'm doing something and giving back a little bit. It's not much, but it's something."
The people who sign up for the program are very grateful for the daily meals they receive, Sveinsson noted.
"I get a lot of thank-you's. People do appreciate it," he said.
Volunteers like Sveinsson also provided an added service: a well-being check. Though their job is strictly to deliver food, if a resident fails to answer the door that might be a sign that he or she needs help. That was the case for one of Sveinsson's clients who always left the door open for her Monday-afternoon delivery.
"Because the door was unlocked I was able to go in and I found her lying on the floor," he said. "She had been there for a few hours. I called the paramedics and she told me to call her son. So I found the phone book and found her son's name and called him."
Sveinsson, a retired plumber and 47-year resident of Park Ridge, previously served on Mary, Seat of Wisdom Parish's Buildings and Grounds Committee, and still offers advice. The father of seven and grandfather of six also enjoys working around his home and yard, and playing golf.
Norwood Park Seniors Network, like other organizations that provide human services to the community, can use more volunteers, Sveinsson believes.
"It's a matter of giving back and doing something for somebody else," he said. "I've been blessed so it makes me feel good to do something."~.

I dare you to do something crazy this holiday
By Robert Jacobs, Special to starlocalnews.com
The Christmanukkah shot clock is counting down. Now that everyone is battle-fatigued from Black FriThursday and blurry-eyed from Cyber Monday, it's time to get serious about the season.
But the Christmas season has already been in full swing for a couple of months now. In fact, the first day of fall found me on the third floor of a major retailer known for its famous parade. It took a little longer to find what I was looking for as things had been rearranged to make room for the Christmas section.
The signs of autumn were everywhere - cooler temperatures, leaves falling, the buzz about football, and of course, Christmas. We had just started school; just had homecoming and open house, and already it was Christmas season - in September!
When I was growing up, Christmas season officially began when you saw Santa at the end of the Thanksgiving parade. And by the way, Santa is real.
But this stressed economy has retailers desperately grasping for every holiday dollar, earlier and earlier.
I'm sure you've all compiled your list of everything you could possibly want (and checked it twice), and distributed it to your family and friends, with complete confidence that they will present said items to you on Christmas morning.
And I know some of you were salivating at the thought of waiting in line all night for the mad Black Friday rush at [insert retailer's name here] door, the sea of humanity and toy riots - "on, pushing! on, shoving! on, trampling and kicking!" - to get the latest, greatest whatever, in the truest spirit of the holiday.
But this year, I dare you to consider something different. We can no longer expect "The Government" to take care of those in need. "The Government" has maxed out its credit card. We're still paying off Christmases past while Christmas future is on layaway.
And so, it's up to us.
I DARE YOU to redirect just one of your gifts to someone who has little or nothing to live with.
I DARE YOU to tell your family and friends to donate in your name rather than exchange gift cards.
I DARE YOU to donate in the name of a family member or friend rather than spend however much on something they'll return or never use or wear.
You can donate for kids, animals, old people, poor people, sick people ...
I DARE YOU. Who's with me?
God bless us, everyone.

One major pharmacy, Express Scripts, is telling patients it will not exchange Ranbaxy atorvastatin for another brand, according to Brian Henry, vice president of corporate communications for Express Scripts.
"Ranbaxy, in conjunction with the FDA, has determined there are no safety concerns associated with continued use of atorvastatin in the patients' possession," a recorded message tells consumers who call Express Scripts.
Pharmacists at several CVS pharmacies said it was all right to keep taking already-filled prescriptions of Ranbaxy atorvastatin, but the company would exchange it for another brand at a customer's request.
Consumer Reports is advising consumers to take potentially contaminated medicine back to the pharmacy and request another brand, Gill said.
A company with a history
Ranbaxy, India's largest pharmaceutical company and the 12th largest generics maker in the world, has had quality problems in the past.
The FDA has accused the company of "a pattern of systemic fraudulent conduct," including taking shortcuts in crucial quality tests. So widespread and grave was the misbehavior that in 2008 the FDA barred Ranbaxy from importing 30 drugs into the United States.

With five seniors back from last year's 52nd District championship team, expectations are high for the Middlesboro Yellow Jackets this season. Friday night it was a pair of juniors taking center stage as MHS opened the season with a 73-60 win over Barbourville.
Forward Ausin Poindexter came off the bench to lead all scorers with 30 points and grab 10 rebounds while guard Donnie Foister finished with 25 points, including a 7-of-9 effort from the free throw line for the Jackets. Senior Michael Wilson added six points to go along with ten assists in the game.
"We had some guys in foul trouble and Poindexter stepped up. Everyone contributed to this win and I really believe that it could be anyone on any given night," Jacket coach Russell Thompson said. "Austin is obviously one of the best athletes in the 13th Region and he came to me and said he felt comfortable coming off the bench. That shows a lot of character on his part and for him to play as well as he did in our opener, I'm very proud of him."
Barbourville (1-1) was led by senior guard Devon Mills, who scored 24 points. Brandon Gray added nine points and Zack Strong eight for the Tigers.
"Anytime you're playing against Coach Phipps and those Tigers, you know those kids are going to know how to play," Thompson said. "For our guys to step up and find a way to win is a big accomplishment. They were all pleased with it and I was pleased with their effort."
Barbourville opened the third quarter on a 7-2 run on two baskets from Mills and a three-point play by Gray to cut a 31-25 halftime deficit to 33-32 with 6:32 to play in the period. But Foister answered with a 3-pointer and the Jackets got baskets from Boone Bowling and Poindexter to push the lead back to 40-32 by the 5:00 mark.
Poindexter scored 15 of his 30 points in the third as the Jackets pulled away. His 15-foot jumper made it 55-38 and it was 55-40 entering the fourth quarter.
"They came out in the third quarter and really took it to another level. That's what you wan to see out of your team and hopefully we'll continue to do that," Thompson added. "There are things we need to clear up as far as protecting a 15-point lead, but we'll work on that."
A 3 from Alex Peytona and a layup by Mills brought the Tigers within 59-49 with a little over five minutes to play. But Foister found Poindexter cutting to the basket for a layup and he went on hit five of seven free throws down the stretch.
Poindexter put an exclamation point on the win, rebounding a missed 3-pointer in the closing second and taking the length of the court for a dunk that set the final at 73-60.
Middlesboro hosts Thomas Walker, Va., Monday at 7:30 p.m. while Barbourville heads to Rockcastle County Tuesday.

There is no anime/manga as great as Bleach, i've never seen a bad episode. the character designs are great, the animation is fluid, the american voices rock, the stories are always entertaining and the action is over the top.Deathnote sucks.I've tried watching it,it's stupid ,in fact Bleach shouldn't have to be in the same sentence as ....deathnote...
look at that:
I watch shonen anime like Bleach One Piece Naruto Darker than Black... but I like shoujo anime too. I started where I was a kid with Sakura Card-Captor ^^ And I like so much shoujo manga like Zettai Kareshi or Hana Yori Dango but the manga I like the best is TSUBASA RESERVOIR CHRONICLES ans BLEACH ^^
And you?
I think they are to different to compare. While both have Shinigami and deal in some fashion with the supernatural they are very different tales.
Bleach has stunning scope and killer characters. The care and development taken in making sure they all stand out and are unique makes the whole thing worth it.
Deathnote has a smaller cast but the story has wonderful depth and is pretty fast paced.
Both have unbelievably well thought out and surprising plot twists that keep one coming back. I do have to point out that with both if you miss eps it will be easy to lose your way.
My personal favorite is Bleach simply for the scope of the alt world created and the shear diversity of characters and story potential.
Oh my! I can't choose either because I haven't watched much of either. Bleach is good so far and I just can't get into Death Note like my momma can. I am trying to but I just can't force it. It would've been better if you said something about Devil May Cry!
honestly for a while I was all for Death Note but my whole thing right now is Bleach though I am kinda like eh at the moment more so since I only really go with the manga for Bleach in which there was no new captain in the middle of the fighting the Espada saga... But I still go with Bleach.
Death Note is the best!
I remember when I first time watched Death Note Episodes,I was completely hooked. My mouth remain opened. It's the mind blowing series. If you will watch it once, I'm sure you will also become its big fan as me.

IdeaStorm can help take your idea and turn it into reality.
Over 19,078 ideas submitted. 741,232+ votes. 98,025+ comments. 537+ ideas implemented.
I've read a lot of ideas and the laptop hardware requirements for developers are quite varied. Some of the things I've read that developers agree on are:
1. matte screen
2. very good track pad
3. bare install (developers add the tools they need) and definitely no crapware
4. Gb Ethernet port
5. high resolution screen (although the minimums here are debatable)
6. expandable RAM with a very minimum of 4G
7. SSD for fast work
8. very good keyboard for long days
9. at least 4 cores
10. all hardware has good working drivers available
11. camera tor video conferencing
Now we come to the things I did not see consensus on:
A. Some people want thin, light and portable, others just want performance
B. people wanted different screen sizes and aspect ratios
C. Most don't care about cd/dvd and they take a lot of potential battery or drive space.
D. Many don't need to pay for software support, although I think some sort of bootable hardware test suite would be good, but software support should be an option
E. most people do not care about graphics performance (built into cpu chip is usually "good enough" )
F. some people need to run both Linux and Windows concurrently for testing with IE
G. Nobody said anything about partitioning, but I think anyone that needs special partition layout will need to reinstall. This means it might be good if Dell provided a certified (has all the drivers) install USB stick that users could use to reinstall with repartitioning, or use as a rescue disk.
H. I also didn't see anyone mention RAID, but if the device contains source code for long times between backups, raid should be an option.
I. I think USB 3 should be standard on everything going ahead, but this may be overkill.
Dell has a great selection of laptop products from ultrabooks to alienware, so I am sure some hardware combination is already available for every potential development scenario. The solution is to offer an optional installed Linux on any of their configured options. In other words, choose the hardware, then during configuration, choose Windows or Linux (or maybe both using either dual boot or virtualization which might cost extra). There are some arguments about the feasibility of supporting this myriad of possibilities, but I think most of the hardware already works and so most simple options (e.g. memory, or disk choices) should be easy. Perhaps there are some peripherals that should be excluded from Linux configurations.
So, I say, start working through the hardware possibilities and as each is certified by Dell, make the OS selectable in the dell.com configuration screens on the web. Be sure to get a varied selection, not just all one class of hardware (i.e. not just ultrabooks). Nowhere did I see that developers need next day delivery, so if a Linux install requires a day or two longer for an unusual configuration, it's probably reasonable. Software support should be an option for those that want it.
This is an opportunity for Dell to break away from the rest of OEMs and capture a very important part of the market. Remember, developers have great influence on hardware/software choices for the production environments. Certified Dell Linux production machines will be very compatible with these development environments.

Dell already tried to include ubuntu on a lot of notebooks but it was a huge failure due to two reasons: it had the habit of being more expensive than the windows alternatives and it was hidden away on the site rather then being shown as an equal alternative to windows (which it has really become by now).

White Knighting
In business terms, it's a 'friendly investor' who makes sweet deals with other companies and puts a stop to more hostile companies' advances on 'victim' companies.
In people terms, it seems like it indicates a male (usually online?) who defends women under false chivalry in hopes of getting laid.
In BCB terms, it is apparently synonymous with Abbey.
What I want to know is, what exactly is "white knighting," both online and irl. Addionally, what causes people do do this? The rationale behind it? Why it's so frowned upon? Are there similar acts that aren't considered "white knighting," and as such, what makes them different and why might they be acceptable?
There's clearly something different between "white knighting" and being chivalrous, but I'm confused as to what that fine line is.
I suppose if you also have opinions on "white knighting," or have had brushes with people who tend to act as such, you can voice them here.

This is the same type of shit that makes self-proclaimed 'Nice guys' so fucking shitty. Tip: You're not nice if you do something just to get into that girl's pants. The same applies here. You're not actually part of the argument and you don't actually care, you just want to bang the girl and so you're getting involved and slowing things down even further.
It's shallow and pathetic.

Of course, the white knight also jumps to help those who don't need it, sticks his nose in problems he not wanted it, and can get a situation completely wrong and looks like an ass for trying to be nice, where he never needed to do anything in the first place.
There's a time and a place for everything, white knight included.
Just a note: My interpretation of a white knight online has nothing to do with getting in another pair of pants.

Chivalry is quite different; it's the act of having respect to begin with, rather than just protecting someone from a lack of said respect, and as such is held in higher regard.

Yes Susan, sexual ulterior motives are clearly contemptible, I do know that.
EDIT: Some of these questions I know were rhetorical, but had to be asked anyway.
So some white knights know that they're doing this to get close to the girl. Is it possible for someone to not realize that they're white knighting? Or then would it not be a case of it at all?

The second scenario isn't necessarily bad if the person needs the help and doesn't deserve what they're catching; however, doing it with little to no knowledge of the circumstances that led to the situation is bad, because you aren't fully aware of the argument's nature then you are probably just throwing fuel onto the fire.

I would say that it could be that the person agrees with the person who just so happens to be female, and so is in fact arguing a point and not doing so to be nice.
Also I am not taking about mistaken application, but more so the use to devalue a side. Like an ad hominem attack in an argument.

To the first statement, I would agree:
There's always the case where the male actually does share interests with the female, and defends the girl not because she has a vagina, but because he has similar views.
What if the goal isn't sex, necessarily, but some other form of companionship? For example, if the guy likes the girl for her personality?
(to Pants) Being completely selfless isn't quite possible then, is it? Selflessness as a route to attaining personal happiness is sort of selfish, no?

Morally more appreciable, but in the case of arguments there is little to differ someone who does something for the sake of companionship from those who do it for sex. The outcome (arguing for the pure reason that you are defending a girl) is exactly the same.
And with that, I can honestly say that I am a bit of a white knight. Morally, my reasons are more justifiable (I am not doing it for companionship nor sex, just to get on her good side and avoid being yelled at :<), but in the end, there are some times where I am on baskey's side simply because she is my girlfriend. When I am vehemently opposed to her position on something, hell no I am not going to white knight for her, but I have a tendency to lean towards her simply because she is my girlfriend.

But when you bring up your girlfriend, in that situation you are already together. If you both defend each other for a common goal, and the allegiance isn't simply one-sided, then I'd find it hard to call "white knighting."
EDIT: and yeah, Nik. That brings up a very important issue, and not just with defense of other people:
Is it right for someone to do the right thing, even if for the wrong reasons?

I'll use what Carch said as a jumping off point: people who white knight tend to have shaky arguments--mainly because they are being adverse just to get some. So white knighting carries with it the label of "illogical" due to the individuals who tend to white knight.
A good argument is a good argument. That I can accept. But when people are being illogical, that's bad; when people are being illogical and doing it just to get some, that's worse.
I can respect defending people if they're getting beat up and their points have merit or they're getting attacked for no reason, but white knighting is a special ("speshul," actually) kind of defending that tends just to muddle up an argument with confusing natter for a purpose that is so irritating that it hurts.
I don't know if it's the same thing that I tend to agree with Toffee often--as far as I know, it's not because she's my girlfriend, but generally just that I tend to find her points reasonable. So I'd support her in that endeavor if what I had was 1) a new contribution and/or 2) people weren't getting what she said because she was saying it a certain way. I personally don't consider that white knighting, because I'd be supporting because I agree, not because I "want some."
But yeah, it all comes down to what white knighting is. But personally I feel a picture I've seen sums it up quite well. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to use pictures here to prove a point so I'll just say it was a tally: "Number of girls on the internet I've defended: [35 or so]. Number of times I've gotten laid by said girls: 0."

Examples of this include:
Guys trying to impress girls by arguing for them/defending their actions/ect.
Girls trying to impress guys the same way
Girls/guys supporting other girls/guys to try and become friends with them
Defending some company/organization/artist to make them feel grateful to you
The general theme is that you have an ulterior motive and you don't necessarily feel that their actions are correct (being neutral or opposed otherwise) OR you are only leaping in in this specific instance rather than in general (so you let it pass when it happens to guys, but leap on it when it is a girl you want to impress).

Like if you are debating with someone and can predictably expect their friend to show up and make it about them, you got a pretty full time white knight on your hands.
There's a difference between sticking up for your friends (ex smash defending Starwatcher) and just being ready to make it about yourself and butting in.

Basically "white knighting" has come to have negativity associated with it cause generally it's annoying, but too often people just get butthurt and call you for it anyway, even if you're just being yourself and not butting into an argument or anything.
Also, are mods only allowed to post pics or something, Lux? :S

Some guy is white-knighting. The girl he's defending doesn't immediately see his ulterior motives (getting into her pants), so it appears that she's beginning to take a liking to him.
But HERE'S the killer: some third-party fellow, who in his mind can't let innocence succumb to corruption, decides to intervene and expose the white-knight for who he is, inadvertently assuming the role of a second white-knight.
What a mess.

The one other problem with whiteknights is that they make the person they're defending look like sacred cows that depend on the suck ups, why else do people hate a lot of internet superstar girls on DA? Because you can't call them out about something they might be doing wrong without having their fanbase get in your face about it. So it just leaves the person up in a pedestal that shouldn't really be there.
Though I have seen instances where the person knows people are whiteknighting and order them to stop, which is pretty nice to do. (I know in the past when a person was clearly trying to agitate in the page comments, me having to stop a tirade of people getting all UR JUST JEALOUS GRR and going overboard, it gives you a pretty negative image as a person hiding behind fans, so I for one try to get people to back off from those who shouldn't even be paid mind to in the first place) It's just so easy to get muddled up in nonsense just because you want to impress the person and be chummy with them, but it's kind of a shallow move to do. You should defend a person because you agree with their position, regardless of gender and popularity. Because then you just become known as "That guy that is just defending her because she's a girl" so nobody will take you seriously from then on.

I know, I usually just wind up looking stupid for trying to defend a usually obvious one sided argument. I just sometimes find I can't help but go with the underdog, especially since once enough people are siding against the person it starts to turn into an attack rather than a discussion. Of course like I said I would not go so far as to agree with them when they are completely wrong, but try and coarse them into giving in.
Though anything after that and I would probably turn into a devil advocate or keeping in pace with the theme a "Black Knight"?.
I dunno, it's just no matter the situation I don't really like seeing someone getting attacked, even if they are wrong.

(I can understand the desire to defend underdogs. I can't say I haven't been in that position before, especially when majority is really passionate about the underdog in question. Like to go for a slightly embarrassing example, I've made accounts to go on the Biggest Loser forum just to defend Chris, who was the winner of one of the seasons, and has an INCREDIBLE hatedom. That in itself is pretty whiteknighty, I think the fervour also counts.
And the thing is I have a kneejerk reaction to agree with the criticism, but there's an underlying desire to defend a person who was hated by everyone including people within the show that I just think they weren't THAT bad. That goes for Big Physique in The Tester. He was a total douche, but it was really infuriating to see the douchiness of other people in the game, and it was apparently justified just because they antagonised HIM? Two douchey antagonisers doesn't make it right. That seems really lame to me, especially since one of the guys against Big Physique was totally white knighting)
- #44
- 27 March 2012 - 05:21 PM
Anyway, the idea of white knighting isn't bad, and doing it isn't bad either, but it's the stupid notion that you're going to get internet fame and respect points for doing it, while is almost never ends that way most think it will, which is stupid (like me) but hey someone has to do it right? Otherwise the world wouldn't be as fun and we wouldn't have a clear person to fuck with.

Haha. "You're being a douche, but you're an idiot for believing him." Which obviously puts the accuser on a pedestal. So nobody really wins either.
Going with the theme of defending underdogs, I share similar views. If the attacking group is wrong in their assault, then it's alright to put up a defense. If the attacking group is right in principle, however, both parties are at fault. The underdog must be reasonably set straight, but the attacking party should be reprimanded for choosing to go about so in a violent manner.
Problem is, as soon as a large enough group gets together, it's hard to avoid the group turning violent against any disagreeing party. The whole mob mentality, the rush of having a mass of people supporting your views, holds the power to turn even the most resolute group into an unruly pack of wild dogs. This of course leads to the whole "two wrongs don't make a right" idiom. One cannot correct an error through other errors. I.e., one cannot correct someone by beating their skulls.
SOMETIMES, the case may be that both parties are entirely wrong, in which case you should just GTFO and leave the warring tribes be. (cough cough zealots cough cough)

Last thursday was the 17th anniversary of one of my very favorite movies, Clueless. I still have my original copy on vhs that I got sometime in the 4th grade and I still watch it all the time. I can't help but feel like there would be a major void in my life had I not seen this movie. It's just perfect.
Clueless exposed me to the world of fashion, Brittany Murphy (RIP) and Radiohead. And for that, I thank you. Happy Birthday Clueless!
So okay, I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all but I don't get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair – ew – and cover it up with a backwards cap and like, we're expected to swoon? I don't think so.
-Cher Horowitz
Have you seen Clueless? Can you believe this is 17 years old?

Banner says Browns will move 'quickly' on big decisions after season
Joe Banner will not confirm reports Mike Lombardi will be the next director of football operations for the Browns, but he did not deny them, either, during a conference call Tuesday night.
Banner also said he and owner Jimmy Haslam have not reached a final decision on the fate of General Manager Tom Heckert or Coach Pat Shurmur.
The evening began as an introduction of Alec Scheiner as the Browns' new president. His duties will be restricted to the business side and include enhancing the stadium experience for fans as well as the team's website and the team's radio and TV outlets.
Scheiner joins the Browns after eight years with Dallas, the last five as the Cowboys' general counsel and senior vice president.
Banner followed Scheiner on the conference call to talk about the new team president, but the questions quickly turned to what Banner has planned for the football side of the operation.
"Starting to go down the path of speculating on these things is not to be helpful at this point," Banner said when asked about Lombardi. "We're still going to decide at the end of the season and make public the decisions about people that are here. That will lead to whatever the next steps are at that point."
Banner said he and Haslam will make their decision on Heckert and Shurmur "quickly" after the season ends a week from Sunday. He indicated the decision could be announced on Dec. 31 or Jan. 2.
Haslam gained ownership of the Browns on Oct. 16. Banner moved in as CEO on Oct. 31. Banner said he is still gathering information on Shurmur and Heckert. The Browns are 5-11.
"We have not made decisions, but obviously as time as gone on, we've thought about it more and talked about it more," Banner said. "Factors that will influence the final decision have become clearer and clearer.
"I don't want to make it sound like we're in the same place as two or four or six weeks ago. That has advanced quite a bit, but we are not at the point where we've made definitive decisions." Continued...
When asked what could happen in the next two weeks that could affect his decision on Heckert and Shurmur, Banner answered:
"Not something new, but continuing to spend time with them and observe things focusing on criteria we're going to use can help you gain confidence that you're doing the right thing and being objective and looking at it the right way."
Banner listed that criteria as a group that can complement each other as collectively "a group of the best people in the league at what we do."
Banner dodged the question when asked who will have the final say on personnel by saying he wants "a group of good, smart effective people and generate consensus wherever we can on the decisions we make."
Heckert has that authority now. Whether he retains it could be a sticking point in whether he stays if given a choice.
"I think you're getting ahead of where we're at," Banner said. "When we make the decisions and announce them, we can deal with specifics like that."
Scheiner said he does not plan to make Cleveland Browns Stadium like Cowboys Stadium North. He said his priority is to make the experience for fans watching games at the stadium better.
"I'd like to create something that links us to the past and links us to the community in a way that when Browns fans outside of Cleveland come they know exactly where they are and they enjoy it," Scheiner said. "My goal is to have a really strong single brand that we can carry through all our distribution platform that links with the tradition of the team.
"The brand is so iconic. There is so much history behind it, and the fans clearly care about the team. We just have to harness it. We have to harness it with our employees and harness it with people in the community. We have to reach out and prove our value on the field and off the field."

Nokia 5140i Review
Phone rating: Review: September 2005. Updated November 2006. The Nokia 5140i is an uprated version of the 5140, and goes some way to addressing the shortcomings of the 5140. It's marketed as an outdoor phone, with its main feature being that it is tough and resistant to wear & tear. The outer shell is tougher than most, and being changeable it can be replaced if it gets scratched or scuffed. The bottom flap helps to protect against water damage, and there is an inner module to provide additional protection against water damage. The 5140i comes with a range of sports-inspired features, including a torch, electronic compass and thermometer. The "Fitness Coach" application enables planning and recording of activities, as well as sharing of training data with training partners. There are also sports-related wallpapers, animated screensavers and MP3 ringtones. As well as the outdoor-related stuff, the 5140i comes with useful features like an integrated camera & video camera, a stereo FM radio, and an integrated handsfree speaker. The two biggest problems that the 5140i shares with its predecessor are the keypad and the display. The keys are located close together and are not very responsive. This helps to protect the phone from water damage, but is not very user-friendly. The STN (passive matrix) technology used for the screen means that the display is difficult to see when outdoors - a real problem when you consider the target market for this phone. Neither of these key issues have been addressed in the 5140i. The replacement for the Nokia 5140i is the Nokia 5500 Sport. Features of the Nokia 5140i include:

Some 20 years ago, when Troy Gunter was a new band director, he had the crazy idea that his high school students should someday march in the Rose Parade.
It's a lofty goal for any band. The annual march through Pasadena began in 1890 and evolved into a New Year's Day spectacle of music, flowers and football watched by 700,000 along the route and 39 million more on TV.
Gunter's school, Valley Christian High School in San Jose, California, grew from a few hundred kids to more than a thousand. The private school's marching band ballooned to about 150 students and evolved into the school's Conservatory of the Arts. Over the years, the marching band took on more competitions, longer parades and overseas travel.
A few years ago, when Gunter and the band returned from a trip to Cambodia, an idea struck: Why not apply to the Rose Parade now, with an international partner?
Problem was, they didn't really know any overseas bands. They weren't sure how they could practice together, let alone organize for the grandest stage a high school marching band can reach.
With the 2013 parade deadline looming, they got in touch with Beijing's No. 57 High School. The band's director, Lu Jin, was familiar with the Rose Parade, and his band had played a few major events, including the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
"Through a contact of a contact of a contact, we got together," Gunter said. "It was like a blind date."
Without ever meeting, Gunter, who doesn't speak Chinese, and Lu Jin, who doesn't speak English, agreed to go for it.
Students said it felt like a long shot at best. They knew more than 70 bands had applied for spots in the 2013 parade, bands that were bigger, bands that had appeared in the parade before, bands that didn't have to leap a language barrier just to rehearse.
But the Valley Christian High School East-West Fusion All-Star Band got in.

Oooohhhhh, that explains the orginal set up.There were some impossible match-ups but it's all games and all in the name of fun; right?
People's Choice 2012: Live Seeding
Show Episodes
- December 5, 2012
- People's Choice
- Random Seeding
- Dec 5, 2012
Armed with a bingo blower and 64 balls, we determine the first round match-ups for this year's People's Choice Game of the Year award voting.
wth.. you need to show the balls to the camera and show your invisible list of which number corresponds to which game otherwise you could be making all this up... Just for show. Nice tricks though.
Regardless whether you like the song or not, the Gamespot staff should make a video at the end with the music "Gangnum style". Besides, how do they have fun once they loosen up?
random matchups seem kinda stupid.Guild Wars2 vs max payne 3.Those two games have NOTHING in common.All your basically doing is choosing the game that has the most sales.Why not categorize mmorgs together and then get an action 3rd person shooters.Once the top game in each category decided(they should get best of category)then maybe put em all together.Not a good way to do this at all.
took a look @ the brackets & realized that the better games are heavily concentrated on the left-hand side.......not good in my opinion
Very strange way to match game styles. There seems to be nothing in common to to vote on. Would it not have been better to at least but games in categories and vote on the games within each?
Kevin VanOrd, Tom McShea, Jody, Chris, do you guys really love "The Last Story" for the Wii? I do wish for extras like our face icons, wallpapers and maybe video gameplays and walkthroughs. Well, I hope someone can make it happen since it's a superb game to play.
Honestly, ghost recon FS was kind of a let down. It dumbed the concept of ghost recon for past fans, and formed a meh 3rd person shooter for simple shooter fans. The strategy is poop and you dont even play as the ghost leader anymore. The MP also feels very broken with easy spawn kills and maps with tons of invisible walls.
far cry 3 vs crusader kings II ?assassins creed 3 vs Fez? Seriously are you freaking stupid Gamespot? or are you treating people like they are morons? cause your actions show this in every move lately! I'm quickly loosing any respect at gamespot! Next time: DONT LEAVE THOS FUCKING THINGS UP TO LUCK YOU STUPID MORONS! IT'S YOUR JOB TO NOT (!) DO THAT! DO IT RIGHT!
Calm down! This is different to last rounds of Game of the year. Discrimination on games like now is never ideal given it's near the end of the year. As usual, the editors will decide on themselves on which game will get an award on its categories. Even though we love to have the old system back, their aren't a lot of Gamespot Staff recently so for that reason, the award systems will have to be cut short for that reason. Until Gamespot staff gets more creative, with more staff, than you have to bare with what they currently have at the end of the year.
@johnnyauau @xloub Being understaffed isn't a reason for this, this is bullshit and you know it! It's lack of ideas the reason of this and being lazy!
Nevertheless, you'll have to get used to it, regardless on how right you are. I'm not picking a fight. I'm just telling you how it is. If you still don't like it, take it up to administration and see how far you can go with you're opinion on this matter. If people like Jeff Gerstmann, Alex Navarro and Brad Shoemaker is still here today, their influence would already be there.
@xloub So you'd rather we handpick the matchups and have everyone accuse of us bias when their favorite game is pitted against a more popular one? If you have a suggestion, I'm all ears.
@JusticeCovert How about using a vote system to decide the pairs, how about you put qualified persons to decide the pairs, people that are PAID to critisise video games and know the genres and which game MUST be compared with what! Anything would do instead of leaving those things in luck! Come on, assassins creed 3 vs Fez? for Jesus Christ, get serious!
@xloub @JusticeCovert luck or not, in the end the one with more votes is the winner, so i think it's still the same thing
@JusticeCovert Yes, it would, wanna know why? Because it wouldn't have been based on luck!!! It would have been chosen by the people, with the way you're doing it now, some games will never have the chance to even go a bit forward because you've put it versus an ultimate AAA title. Where is the justice in that? This isn't champion's league!
@xloub But since we're ultimately trying to pick just ONE winner, all of these games are ultimately being compared to each other. That's true of any "Game of the Year". If we organized all of the match-ups in the first round as you suggest, maybe we'd end up with Assassin's Creed III and Fez in the final - would that really be better?
@JusticeCovert @xloub How about you not change how it worked in previous years? I (and I'm sure everyone else) was content with just voting on genre awards, platform awards, special achievements and finally GOTY, there's absolutely no reason to mix them all in and strip down the readers choice awards to only "game of the year". I hope you guys go back to the old system next year...
pity 2 of the best games, journey and the walking dead, are pitted against each other. Oh well, lotto draw seems fair.
I preferred the way they've done it in the past. I feel like you can't go one way or the other with a lot of these games because they're such different experiences. I mean, Halo 4 vs. Minecraft? There's no comparison. Indie games mixed in with AAA, sports games vs. shooters, it makes no sense. It's like asking someone "which is better, the Beatles or Mozart?" They're too different to be compared.
@twentymooseman I think you're right. I think @GameSpot should compete games with same styles and experiences. Any way, its OK.
I think games like AC:III and Diablo III should be put against other A+ studio games. They should have different brackets for games based on budget used for developing a game. Then we can choose the best quality game based on budget which would then have decent games being put up against each other in the later rounds.
I really wish there was a separate category for some of these games. Spelunky was an amazing game. Fez is, in my opinion, one of the best games I've ever played. But they are being pitted against games that were developed by > 100 people, and were developed for the masses. Really I just feel bad for the developers, because you know that Phil Fish would appreciate winning game of the year way more than nameless AC3 developers.

I wonder if the award ceremony is going to be funnier? Perhaps someone is getting a black eye for being clumsy.
Somebody count how many times they say "beloved"... not too great with adjective variety.
I like the idea of a completely random matchup like that. My problem is with how the random drawing was done. Picking air blown balls from a bingo machine is fine, but their corresponding numbers that match up to a game, needed to be shown to the viewers prior to them being assigned. As it is now, they say "number 38 which is so and so game, and number 43, which is so and so game." And they are reading those games off a list, that's OUT OF VIEW for the viewers. So for all we known, the games could have been pre-matched, and then no matter what number comes up each time, they just assign the two games they want to them.
It was a nice attempt at being fair GameSpot.....but you had to know what I'm describing would be an issue. And the only reason for showing how the seeds were picked, is because everyone that has ever even visited GS, knows how these contests of yours are soooooo rigged. Or at least reeks of being rigged.
@JJames3dCG Here's that list you wanted. It went live a couple of days before the draw: http://www.gamespot.com/features/incoming-best-of-2012-awards-6400987/
@JJames3dCG They had, as far as i know since i didn't saw it myself, the list on the site, also if you pay attention, you will notice that it's arranged by alphabetic order.
They should've arranged these match-ups based on genre. Pitting a racing game against an RPG, or pitting a survival horror game against a shooter is stupid.
