The amount of applications available in the Ubuntu repositories can sometimes be overwhelming for a new user who is used to scouring the net for very simple applications to run on their Windows platform. To make things simple for such users, I have compiled this short list of four applications that new users should start their Ubuntu life with whiles they get used to the abundance of programs they lacked in Windows.
App 1 VLC
This is simply the player that rules the rest. The trail blazer when it comes to media players. With its own internal codecs and the ability to play virtually any file format known to everyday people, I strongly recommend new users install this app so as to reduce the frustrations they have to go through to install multimedia codecs in Ubuntu. A full list of the features and file formats playable by VLC can be found here. To install the latest release nicknamed the Goldeneye, just follow these simple steps and you are done!
App 2 K3B
I know a lot of people will disagree with my choice of disc burner but I believe this application is the best available to the Linux platform and I highly recommend it to new users. It is a KDE app that also runs flawlessly on GNOME and has all the features new users might be used to in proprietary counterparts. The default Ubuntu installation comes with Brasero which is also a disc burner way behind K3B. Just go to Applications>Add/Remove and search for K3B. Mark it and hit apply changes.
App 3 Skype
You probably know Skype if you are an ex-Windows user. Well it's available on the Linux platform and you can download the .deb file here. I recommend it because so far I do not know of any Open Source application that can really replace Skype. Just double click the downloaded file to install it.
App 4 Deluge
There are other alternatives, but to me, Deluge is the best Bittorrent client available for Ubuntu and I am still wondering why it is still not the default torrent client. It has every feature to make your torrent downloads a breeze and enjoyable experience. It also is very economical in terms of resource consumption. Go to Applications>Add/Remove, search for Deluge and mark for installation. That's it.
This list a a subjective list which I believe can help very new Ubuntu users settle in quite easily. All the other productivity tools you may need are already installed by default; Openoffice is a typical example. The above list is in no way complete and different people may prefer different apps.
Let me know which ones you prefer that are not on the list and why. Share your thoughts.Sharing is Caring:

PHS finally snaps streak against Star Valley

The frustration ends
With history working against them and one week after dropping a 19-14 setback to Lander, the Powell High School Panthers recorded a convincing 28-2 victory over Star Valley Friday night at Panther Stadium.
The Class 4A, West Conference victory was significant on several levels. For starters, the win kept the third-ranked Panthers (3-2 overall, 2-1 West) in the hunt for the conference crown. It also ended what has amounted to years of frustration for the Panthers against the team from Afton. Prior to Friday night, 2001 marked the last time PHS topped Star Valley (1-4 overall, 0-3 West).
Particularly frustrating for the Panthers were recent matchups for the Braves. During the Panthers' state championship season in 2006, Star Valley handed PHS its lone loss, a 24-7 setback in a contest that also served as homecoming for the Panthers. Last year, PHS squandered a late, fourth-quarter lead and lost to the Braves in overtime.
Lady Trappers claim two more victories
NWC improves to 26-7 overall
A pair of home matches translated into two more victories for the Northwest College volleyball team late last week.
The Lady Trappers, now 26-7 for the season and 4-0 at Hank Cabre Gymnasium, earned decisions over Eastern Wyoming College Friday night and Laramie County Community College Saturday afternoon.
Against the Lancers, NWC overcame a slow start, which included a 30-28 loss in the first set. The Lady Trappers responded to their first set loss at home by winning the next three sets 25-17, 25-22, 25-10.
"The first set was very shaky," said NWC head coach Flavia Siqueira. "As a team, we were focused for a run of four to five points and then unfocused for another run of points. Toward the end of the set, we were ahead seven points and could not finish it. EWC took advantage of our down moment and won the first game 30-28.
"It was hard for me to make any changes because when one or two players are having a bad game, I can substitute for them. But when the 11 players on the roster are unfocused, there is not much I can do."
Fortunately for the Lady Trappers, their focus was better in the ensuing set, according to Siqueira. During set three, the up-and-down play surfaced again, but NWC was able to squeak past the Lancers by three points. In the fourth and final set, NWC put together a solid effort and cruised to a 15-point decision.
"Eastern Wyoming played much better than when we saw them at the tournament in Riverton," Siqueira said. "They are passing a lot better, and their libero had a great match.
"Finally, in the fourth set, we came back and played well. Maddie Peterson played in the middle, and Rebekah DePesa came in on the outside. Both of them did a great job."
Among the highlights for NWC Friday night was the performance of setter Carol Martin, who finished with 47 assists, 29 digs and six kills. Thabata Galvao added 12 kills and 20 digs, and Peterson and Irelis Avendano finished with 14 and 11 kills, respectively.
On Saturday, NWC swept LCCC in three straight sets, 25-20, 25-15, 25-18. In the first set, the Lady Trappers built a 19-9 advantage before the Golden Eagles fought back and trailed just 22-20.
With LCCC threatening to mount a comeback effort, NWC scored three straight points to claim the first set.
Set two was close in its early stages, but the home team was able to build a sizable advantage en route to a 10-point victory. In the deciding set, NWC led by as many as 10 points before disposing of LCCC 25-18.
Siqueira said her front row played particularly well against LCCC. With few errors and strategic ball placement, the Lady Trappers were able to maintain control of the majority of the match. LCCC, when it did enjoy success, found it against NWC's defense, which Siqueira said was slow to react at times.
Once again, Martin was among the leaders for NWC. She finished with 25 assists, nine digs and six kills. Peterson led the team in kills with seven, and Katie Gregg added five. Marisa Shigetomi added a team-high 11 digs.
• Up next: NWC has three matches scheduled this week, including one with Sheridan College today (Tuesday) at 7 p.m. at Hank Cabre Gymnasium.
PHS Volleyball squad crushes Cody
It was all orange and black at Panther gym last week as the Powell High School Lady Panthers demolished Cody to seal their hold on the top spot in conference volleyball play.
When the two rivals met Thursday night, Cody still had a mathematical chance to tie for first place in the conference.
In about an hour, though, the Lady Panthers reduced the Fillies' chances to zero with a resounding 25-9, 25-21, 25-7 win.
The Lady Panthers jumped on the Fillies early in the first set, scoring six straight points behind the serve of Kayla Ando, and led all the way. Powell built a 14-5 lead before the Fillies were able to score two consecutive points, and by the time the serve had rotated through the lineup, Powell led 15-7. They finished the game with a 10-2 run to take a 1-0 match lead.
As in the teams' first meeting, the Fillies came back strong in game two, but the Lady Panthers held them off to go up two games to one. The teams traded points early before PHS opened up a slim 9-6 lead, but they were unable to stretch that advantage, and Cody tied the score at 13 before hitting out of bounds. Powell again opened up a lead, but never led by more than five. With Powell leading and serving at 24-20, the Fillies stepped up and stopped game point to keep their hopes alive, but a Cody hit sailed wide and the Lady Panthers escaped with the win.
Game three was all PHS. The Fillies led 3-2 early, but the Lady Panthers took control and built a 10-4 lead. Cody nearly regained the serve at that point with a tip, but a diving Savannah Donarski got her hand under the ball to keep it alive. Lauren Fagnant kept the ball in play, and Donarski, still on the ground, knocked it over the net. Cody set up an attack, but Donarski got to the net in time to block the ball for a PHS point.
The Lady Panthers then turned up the power, and an eight-point streak on Hannah Pollart's serve helped them outscore the Cody 14-3 to end the match. Match point came on a Pollart smash through two Cody blockers.
A measure of the Lady Panthers' domination in game three was that Cody never scored on their own serve.
A key to the game was Powell's 97.5 serving accuracy. Pollart was perfect on 17 serves.
Pollart ended the game with 14 kills, with Donarski and Kami Cooley contributing eight each. Ando led in assists with 16, and Pollart set up eight.
Defensively, Pollart and Donarski made 12 digs, and Allen made five.
PHS coach Cindi Smith said the team's win demonstrated the "100-percent effort" needed to win matches, and was a typical team effort for her squad.
"The girls are a tight group. They like each other and help each other out," Smith said. "They focus on the team winning and not themselves."
Saturday, the team traveled to Thermopolis and swept the Lady Bobcats in a match Smith said the girls were "a little disappointed" with.
"We just never got things going and never got into our flow," Smith said.
Still, the Lady Panthers came away with a 25-21, 25-19, 24-21 win to keep their dual meet record perfect.
Powell's team serving efficiency fell to 87.9 percent, but Erica Woodward was accurate on all 11 of her service attempts. Rogers was successful on 14 of 15 service attempts, and Donarski was 12 of 13. Pollart led in kills with 12 and was second in assists with 13.
Ando contributed 15 assists. Donarski made 11 kills and Olivia Rogers added eight.
Defensively, Allen led with 22 digs. Donarski made 14 and Rogers made nine, and each of them assisted on two blocks.
Friday and Saturday the Lady Panthers go to Lovell for the conference duals and meet southwestern rivals Jackson, Kemmerer, Lyman and Pinedale. Smith said the Lady Panthers have seen all four teams in early season competition, but has played only Jackson in a regulation dual, a three-game sweep in Jackson.
Smith, on Monday morning, said the scheduling for the weekend event is still under discussion and will be announced as soon as it is available.
Lelia Mae Aubrey Austin
Lelia Mae (Aubrey) Austin, 88, died Saturday, Oct. 4 in the Powell Valley Care Center due to complications from diabetes.
She was born Sept. 23, 1920, in St. Jo, Montague County, Texas, to Marion Washington Aubrey, Jr. and Myrtle Lelia (Mangrum) Aubrey. She was an accomplished tennis and volleyball player during her high school years, and her athletic achievements were a source of joy.
She became accustomed at an early age to hard work while dry farming in Texas, hoeing mile-long rows of corn.
In the 1940s, Lelia moved to Loma Linda, Calif., and then moved her mother and father from Texas to join her so she could help care for them.
She married Henry Earl Austin of Fort Scott, Kans., on Dec. 25, 1947, in Quartzsite, Ariz., and became a mother to Henry's three children, Linna, Iris and Larry. Henry and Lelia had two sons of their own, Robert and Larry.
Henry died in 1960, and Lelia found herself the sole bread winner. She worked in garden centers, grocery stores, bookkeeping and real esate. She was last employed in restaurant management, both in Long Beach and Oroville, Calif., where she made her home with Floyd Bousman (deceased 1977), her special companion of 18 years. In March of 2000, she moved to Powell to live with family.
Lelia's hobbies in her early married life were sewing, gardening, raising rabbits, chickens, turkeys, beef and pigs, and canning fruit and vegetables. Later in life, she had time for reading, fishing and watching football, baseball and John Wayne movies.
She was one of nine children, including brothers Wanda Lee (Esther Strong) and Truman (Annie Eva) Aubrey; and sisters, Capitola (Cecil) Ritchey, Audrey (William) Porter, Opal Olita (Lloyd) Starr, Eddie Fae (Max) Yates, Geraldine (Marshall) White and Gwendolyn (David) Gardner.

Paul Thomas Sironen
(Jan. 6, 1946 - Sept. 29, 2008)
Paul Thomas Sironen, 62, of Powell, died Monday, Sept. 29 at the Billings Clinic.
He was born in Billings, Mont., on Jan. 6, 1946, to Archie and Leola Sironen. He spent his childhood in Red Lodge, Mont., Elk Basin and Powell. He graduated from Powell High School in 1964 and earned a B.S degree in Psychology from the University of Wyoming.
Paul served in an Army artillery battalion in Vietnam from 1968 to 1970. He married Sue Edgar in Powell on July 11, 1970. Their daughter, Stephanie, was born in Powell in 1977.
Paul worked for Davis Audio Visual in Denver and later in Casper. He began his career as a Probation and Parole Officer for the State of Wyoming in 1971, starting in Casper and later transferring to Cody. In 1984, Paul and Sue opened Interlacings Fabric Shop in Cody.
In 1997, he began working for the Department of Family Services in child protection and juvenile probation. He retired from DFS in March, 2007. During the last year, Paul worked for M&S Technologies, selling computer security software.
When asked about his career, Paul would tell how rewarding it was for him to make a difference in the lives of the children, teens and families. He respected the kids whom he had on probation, encouraged them to take responsibility for their actions, and was always very proud of their successes.
Paul loved the Beartooth Mountains and Crandall area where he spent time hunting, fishing and camping with his family and friends. His grandson, Riley Martin Valentine, who was born April 13, 2008, always brought a smile to his face.
Paul is survived by his wife Sue of Powell; daughter, Stephanie (Dave) Valentine and grandson Riley Valentine of Laurel, Mont..; and brother, John (Susan) Sironen of Salem, Ore.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Archie and Leola Sironen.
A celebration of his life was observed Oct. 4 at Homesteader Park in Powell. Cremation has taken place.
Be polite ¬ó and obey the law
Powell people are, for the most part, a pretty polite bunch.
People say hello to each other in the grocery store, they wave to each other while driving down the street, and they know the neighbor kids by name.
However, good manners fail too many of us in one place — at crosswalks. All around town, Powell drivers can be spotted failing to yield to pedestrians — and bicyclists — waiting to cross the street.
It's not just impolite — it's against the law. Wyoming statute says that drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians already in, or entering, a marked crosswalk.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 4,827 pedestrians were killed in accidents in the U.S. in 2003. About 10 percent of them were children.
With our kids back in school — and many other people walking or biking to save gas — drivers must be vigilant in making sure our streets are safe for pedestrians and bikers.
The extra 20 or 30 seconds it takes to allow someone to safely cross the street doesn't take much time out of the day.
So slow down. Take a breath. Plus, you'll get bonus points for good manners.
Larry J. Bement
(May 14, 1941 - April 30, 2001)
Memorial services will be held in Deaver Friday, July 27 at 10 a.m. for a former resident, Larry J. Bement, 60, who died April 30 at Newport News, Va., of a brain tumor.
He was born May 14, 1941, in Missoula, Mont. He was 3 years old when his father died. When he was 11 years old, his mother married Harvey Homewood, and the family moved to the Homewood farm two miles north of Frannie.
Mr. Bement attended schools in Frannie and then graduated from Deaver High School in 1959 as the valedictorian of his class. He was active in band, playing the trombone, and in chorus. He was also on the football and basketball teams.
He then attended the University of Wyoming, graduating in 1963. He accepted employment with the National Aeronautics and Space Admininstration (NASA) in Virginia where he was working at the time of his death.
He loved to go camping and fishing and spent part of his vacation each year in the Sunlight area of northwest Wyoming.
Survivors include his wife, Joan Bement, of Newport News, Va.; a daughter, Cary Creal and husband Paul of Fort Hood, Texas; his mother, Ada Homewood of Frannie; an older brother, David Bement and wife Pat of Howe, Texas; a younger sister, Marie Spahn and husband Bill, of Pendleton, Ore.; six nieces and nephews; and eight great nieces and nephews.

During today's keynote, Tim Cook mentioned, almost in passing, that you could log into the iTunes store using the fingerprint sensor.
This statement may turn out to have way more significance than its low-key delivery would suggest. It took me a moment to realise it but the fingerprint sensor is almost certainly not about securing your device. The fingerprint sensor is about securing your account. The fingerprint sensor is about payments, initially to Apple and then maybe subsequently elsewhere. The fingerprint sensor may be Apple's mobile answer to Amazon's web-bound One-Click.
For every app, music and in-app purchase made through an iOS device there is at least one other that wasn't made because someone couldn't be bothered to type in their password, got it wrong or just didn't know it. Amazon once measured a discernible difference in checkout rates from page loading increases of only 1/100th of a second. Apple has to request a password. That password has to secure the phone against chargebacks due to theft, purchases made by small children or just a trouble-making friend pinching your phone and playing with it. The only answer to those chargebacks today is to demand users to continually re-enter their passwords.
Perhaps even more problematic for Apple is the proportion of their customer base who don't even know their passwords. A significant proportion of iOS users won't be able to tell you their password and may not even have a credit card associated with it. Apple must have swathes of older, tech-challenged or simply disinterested customers who never buy any video, music or apps. Those customers are lost revenue for the iTunes store in the short term and are far more vulnerable to churning over to Android in the long term.
Because it's not the just the revenue from apps that passwords cost Apple. Apps are what make the platform useful, apps are what tie you to your OS and many of the best ones need to be purchased. If you don't buy apps the platform is significantly less useful to you, you're far less loyal and you're far more likely to be swayed by Android. Apps are Apple's platform lock-in.
I'm guessing that this new scanner won't just be a piece of hardware Apple ships and forgets about. I'm guessing that Apple will integrate their efforts around the fingerprint and will encourage you to setup your fingerprint and enter your credit card in the Apple store when you buy a new device. I would. They will do everything they can to encourage you to associate your fingerprint with your credit card and free you to one-scan purchase. I'm also guessing that despite its more homebound nature we'll see that fingerprint sensor very quickly on the iPad too. The iPad is a perfect shopping tool and one-scan shopping would make that even more true.
The fingerprint sensor is way too much technology just to make it easier for you to get past your lock screen. As Tim Cook said, many people don't even setup a PIN. I think the fingerprint sensor promises to be a far more strategic tool than simply a souped-up login. What the fingerprint sensor may actually deliver is the biggest improvement in frictionless payments since the Amazon account.
Apple has to make big bets to move the dial now and payments is one of those that many people have spoken about. Many people were waiting for Apple to announce NFC and jump into the payments space but I think they may be even cleverer than that. Payments would be a huge new revenue stream for them but easy authentication and chargeback avoidance must have been a large barrier to offering that. If the fingerprint recognition works a well as advertised, that barrier may just have fallen away.

COVERT TOWNSHIP (WKZO) -- The latest incident at the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant was written off as a minor leak by Entergy and by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 90-gallons of radioactive water leaked from a tank that has been leaking at various rates for at least two years now.
Approximately 90-gallons leaked. Most of it accidentally flowed into a collection pool, where it was diluted and then flushed into Lake Michigan.
NRC Spokesperson Viktoria Mitlyng says it represented 0.002 percent of the federal limit they are permitted to release.
Depite that, Congressman Fred Upton called the release an "outrage". What apparently sparked citizen complaints wasn't the amount, but rather that it was completely beyond the control of the plant staff and there was nothing to prevent it from becoming something much larger.
Even Mitlyng says that it was an unplanned release that should not have happened.
Rep. Upton intends to visit the plant, with NRC Commissioner Kristine L. Svinicki Monday for a tour and inspection. He has called for the plant to remain shut down until the tank is repaired or replaced.
He plans to meet with the media after his inspection.

Gingher Pinking Shears produce a ravel-resistant edge in sewing and craftwork. Pinking shears leave a zigzag edge rather than a straight cut edge to prevent fraying and keep work clean. They are also great for adding a decorative edge to projects.
Pinking shears have a delicate setting, so we recommend cutting only one layer of fabric at a time. The inside blades should be wiped clean frequently to prevent accumulation of lint that can affect the smoothness of feel and cutting of the shears. These shears cannot be re-sharpened.

- Dr. Yasmin Hurd is Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry,
Pharmacology and Systems Therapeutics, and Neuroscience. She is the
Chief of the Center of Excellence in Mood and Motivation in the Brain
Institute. She also serves as Chair of the Minority Health Research
Committee (MHRC).
Dr. Hurd's multidisciplinary research investigates the neurobiology underlying addiction disorders and related psychiatric illnesses. A translational approach is used to examine molecular and neurochemical events in the human brain and comparable animal models in order to ascertain neurobiological correlates of behavior. A major focus of the research is directed to risk factors of addiction disorders including genetics as well as developmental exposure to drugs of abuse.

The Hurd Laboratory
The research group investigates the neurobiology underlying drug abuse and related psychiatric disorders. The work is focused on the systematic study of the human brain of drug abusers and subjects with psychiatric disorders in relation to opioid neuropeptide, cannabinoid and dopamine neuronal systems. Drug abuse and, e.g., major depression are associated with alterations of mood, cognition, and motivation, thus, an important goal is to identify and map specific genes in the mesocorticolimbic system, which regulate emotional function. Techniques such as in situ hybridization, RT-PCR, DNA microarray, in vitro autoradiography, and general biochemical assays are used for the detailed analyses of genes, and respective protein products, in discrete mesocorticolimbic brain areas. Molecular, biochemical, and in vivo studies of the human brain are assessed in relation to individual genotype in order to identify neurobiological correlates of functional genetic polymorphisms linked to addiction and affective disorders. Epigeneic mechanisms, e.g., DNA methylation, are also evaluated in relation to the regulation of gene expression.
A significant area of investigation is related to assessing the impact of prenatal drug exposure on human fetal brain development that may enhance later risk for substance abuse and psychiatric disturbances. Recent collaborative efforts involve in vivo imaging of the developing mesocorticolimbic system to examine the neurobiological association between behavioral traits (e.g., inhibitory control deficit) that appear to increase risk for substance abuse disorders.
As complement to studies of the human brain, animal models are used to examine in vivo neurotransmitter levels (e.g., dopamine as measured by the microdialysis technique) in discrete mesocorticolimbic brain areas during, e.g., operant drug self-administration behavior. The animal studies are designed to mimic the prenatal and adolescent drug exposure (particularly cannabis) seen in humans, and subsequent adult behaviors are linked to in vivo neurochemical fluctuations as well as molecular and biochemical events in the same subject.

As Dana Severson sat on the Today Show stage with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford Monday to talk about overcoming her battle with leukemia and the bone marrow transplant that saved her life, she had no idea who was waiting in the wings to surprise her.
Six years ago, the Army vet was wondering if she would get to see her daughter grow up.
Severson, who lives in Illinois, served in the Army for six years as an Apache helicopter electrician and completed two tours in Korea and Iraq before leaving to start a family. She was diagnosed with leukemia in 2008.
After three rounds of high-dose chemotherapy, she was not cancer free and learned she needed a bone marrow transplant. She turned to the national bone marrow registry and learned that there was a match for her.
That stranger turned out to be Keith Engholm, a Air Force veteran living in Montgomery. Engholm had signed up for the bone marrow registry in the early 1980s and when he got the call about Severson years later, he agreed to donating his bone marrow.
"There was no other chance except for her to find a donor," he said.
Severson received the transplant and recovered. Since then, she has been making the most of her second chance at life, raising her daughter, taking up running and working with Be The Match, an organization that raises awareness about blood diseases and encourages people to become donors.
Over the years, Engholm and Severson spoke through letters and over the phone and connected on Facebook but had never met in person until this week.
Engholm's wife was the one who reached out to the Today Show about their story.
"We see so much bad on the news and to spread the word about something that has changed peoples lives, it was a journey that I enjoyed and I continued and I never gave up. I had to go to the networks several times before someone would listen to me but I knew it was a story worth telling," Mary Engholm said.
The producers at the Today Show facilitated the introduction and wanted it to be a surprise, keeping Engholm hidden from Severson at the studio until the right moment.
Hoda Kotb was reading from one of the letters Engholm had written Severson during the segment.
"He writes this: 'The few awards I've received in my 22.5 years of service don't come close to helping you," Kotb said.
And from the side of the stage, Engholm appeared and told Severson: "And I'm glad everything worked out." The two embraced for the first time and sat side by side on the set.
For Engholm, it was the highlight of a long journey that's forever united the two veterans.
"Just to see her and hold her and touch her, it just brought it all to life and here's a woman whose life I saved which changed many many lives in return," Engholm told WSFA. "My military career and accomplishments couldn't come close to doing something like this, to save somebody's life and to give her another chance. She's taken every opportunity to do that. She runs half marathons, she is going to get her bachelor's degree this month."
"We're excited about what our future holds and we're very proud of the woman that Dana has become and we're so proud that her daughter has been able to grow up with her mom," his wife added. "With my heart and with my soul, I've been so glad to see this journey come to a place where we finally are a part of each other's lives and I can tell you that our relationship with that family is never going to end."
After their big meet on the Today Show, Keith and his wife had a chance to spend some time with Dana Severson in New York City and in two weeks, they will travel to Illinois to meet Dana's family and doctor.
Keith Engholm hopes his story will encourage others to make life saving donations, whether it's being an organ or bone marrow donor or giving blood.
"If you can give someone a chance at life, give it," he said. "I'm so glad I did the Today Show. It was the perfect opportunity to get to know her better and foster our relationship for the future to come."
WSFA reached out to Dana Severson in Illinois and asked her about meeting Engholm for the fist time and she said it was like "finding a long lost relative."
"The overwhelming love and happiness that both Keith and Mary have given me has reassured my faith that good people are still out there. They have welcomed me and my family as one of their own and I hope that that bond strengthens even more. I am so happy that our story has touched people and I hope it inspires them to become hero's themselves like Keith and join the Be the Match registry and be the donor that saves someone's life," she said in a statement.
She also hopes her story and the impact of Keith's generosity will encourage others to become donors.

Crysis 2 Gets Two Special Editions, Multiplayer Beta for Xbox 360At Gamescom 2010, publisher Electronic Arts announced two special editions for the 2011 release of Crysis 2: the Limited Edition and the Nano Edition. The Limited Edition is available at the standard retail price while supplies last, while the Nano Edition will run you a whopping $150 and is billed for the "ultimate Crysis fan".
The Limited Edition sports the following in-game multiplayer bonuses:
- Bonus XP - Players will jump into multiplayer battles with an edge by starting with enough experience points to gain early access to all 5 preset class load-outs.
- SCAR Hologram Decoy - This special attachment to the SCAR will project a hologram image of the player, allowing them to confuse their opponents with the decoy.
- SCAR Weapon Skin - This digital camouflage skin will allow players to add a personalized touch to one of the more popular assault rifles in the game.
- Platinum Dog Tag - This special one-of-a-kind dog tag is one of over 250 that will be collectible in Crysis 2 multiplayer, helping to separate you from the rest of the field.
A multiplayer beta will also run in the fall on the Xbox 360 and two of the multiplayer modes have been revealed. They are "Crash Site"--a capture and hold gametype--and "Team Instant Action"--a standard team deathmatch offering.
The multiplayer game will make use of customizable "Nanosuit Modules", three of which are now known:
- Weapons Specialist Module - With the Weapons Specialist ability, the player can reload his weapons both more efficiently and quicker.
- Proximity Alarm Module - With the Proximity Alarm module attached, the Nanosuit gives audio feedback whenever an enemy approaches. This allows the player to sneak up on or evade their attacker, depending on their preferred tactics.
- Enhanced Visor Module - With the Enhanced Visor module attached, the Nanosuit prominently highlights all enemies whenever they are detected through digital scopes.

Summerville High School football Head Coach John McKissick got his 600th win when the Summerville Green Wave beat the Swamp Foxes at Ashley Ridge 37-21.
The 86-year-old Hall of Fame coach hit the major milestone Friday night.
"I feel good for the kids" McKissick said "They can tell everybody they were a part of the 600th win. I think they'd be proud of that cause they worked real hard."
The win for McKissick came at the expense of one of his former assistant coaches, Kenny Walker, who's now the head coach at Ashley Ridge. But Walker was gracious in defeat on Friday saying "I have a lot of respect for coach and this is a great honor for him. Obviously I didn't want it to come against us on our home field but it's a big milestone and just being able to witness it is big for our community."
One of McKissick's former players sent his congratulations to the coach via Twitter. AJ Green tweeted "Congrats to coach on his 600th win tonite!!! One of the best ever!!!"
McKissick is in his 61st year as a head coach. He became the sports all-time winningest coach back in 1993 with his 406th win at Wando. He won #500 in 2003.
Throughout McKissick's career, he has won 10 State Championships and was elected to the High School Football Hall of Fame in 1990.

Chlorine is a chemical that prevents bacteria from growing. Chlorine poisoning occurs when someone swallows or breathes in (inhales) chlorine.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Note: This list may not include all uses of chlorine.
Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person water or milk, unless instructed otherwise by a health care provider. Do NOT give water or milk if the patient is having symptoms (such as vomiting, convulsions, or a decreased level of alertness) that make it hard to swallow.
If the person breathed in the poison, immediately move him or her to fresh air.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
How well you do depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment is received. The faster you get medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Swallowing such poisons can have severe effects on many parts of the body.

Poor Tobe Hooper. A promising young Austin filmmaker from the beginning of his career, he made a college film called "eggshells" in 1969, a counter-culture film of its time, but the career for which he is known really began with 1974's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". This is the film that would put him on the map in the history of horror forever, but would also be the stumbling block for him as he tried to grow as a director.
As with many of its 70's horror franchise contemporaries, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has become a series whose present continues to lose connection with its past, even as new entries stumble over themselves to pay homage to their roots. In 1974, Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel captured lightning in a bottle with a chaotic, nasty film about a family of cannibals living deep in the heart of Texas.
The Saw is Family this week as we discuss "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part II"
So, last Wednesday, I started feeling under the weather. The past three weeks I have been wishing for MEXICAN SWINE FLU to bestow its gifts upon me, just to experience it first-hand, and, finally, I had thought that my time had come. I had all the symptoms: chills, fever, sore throat, runny nose and heinous explosive bowel movements. But, two days later, with most of these symptoms disappearing, I'm left with the feeling that, once again, I've missed this boat. So, SWINE FLUERS, if you see me, cough on me and let me walk a mile in your sickly shoes.
Variety is reporting that Twisted Pictures, the unheralded geniuses behind the Saw franchise, are in the process of purchasing the rights to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, previously owned by the date-rapists over at Platinum Dunes. This is all part of Twisted's plan to corner the market on all films that have saws in them. Hey-O!!!
Dread Central has posted the cast list (Milla Jovovich, Wentworth Miller, Ali Larter) and synopsis for Resident Evil 4: Afterlife (In a world ravaged by infection, Alice continues her...blah blah blah...). The final line, however, of Dread's report reads: "Thankfully, Mike Epps will remain dead." I, for one, enjoy Mike Epps and, unlike Dread Central, love black people and wish them continued success in the horror movie genre. KILL WHITEY!
Gary Ross, the writer of the Tom Selleck comedy classic Mr. Baseball, has been tapped to write a solo Venom movie. Venom, who you may remember, was killed at the end of Spider-Man 3, but, if anyone can ret-con this fallacy, it's the writer of Mr. Baseball! (Netflix this NOW!)
NASA blasted the Moon's surface with missiles this morning. Now, I am no scientist, but this strikes me as a really bad idea. I have a creeping fear that this will somehow kick off the events of 2012. And why??? They say they were trying to find water, but I feel like they were just wanting to do it because they were bored. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY! LET'S BLOW UP THE MOON, AMERICA!
The NYPD has been tracking your cell phones calls. They say they got the idea from The Dark Knight, mostly because that movie was, in their words, "the fucking tits, brah!" This just goes to prove what an overrated burg of scumbaggery New York City is, second only to Chicago. You wouldn't find this crap in Provo!
1967: Notorious jerk-hole mass-murderer, oops, I mean "revolutionary", Che Guevara was executed for attempting to incite hope and change in Bolivia. His death would inspire the sales of millions of t-shirts.
Before a recent screening of "Parasomnia", Mick Garris, Wes Craven and Tobe Hooper were all asked about remakes, and their opinions on the subjects. I think we all know how Craven and Hooper feel, but it's Garris' words that really stuck with me. He perfectly sums up the issue with some remakes. Here's what he said:
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Reviewer: Christopher50000, 45-54 Male on Treatment for 2 to less than 5 years (Patient)
Ease of Use
I used Androgel for many years until my insurance company upped the deductible to $250 for 3 months, and their generic Testim is $14/mo. Testim is so sticky and doesn't dry quickly like Androgel. I'm on the maximum dosage of each, and my T count dropped from 900 to 700 after switching over. I highly recommend Androgel - it works great!

Doctors should really tell their patients about all the side effects. My husband starting taking this and is verbally abusive and walked out on his family. He did gain muscle mass and libido but became depressed, paraniod, and directed all of anger towards me and the kids. He so happy with the way that he looks that he will never give the drug up unless it causes serious health issues.

Spoke with Androgel direct AB pharma. I'm angry the instructions DO NOT tell you only 50% of product is absorbed in 2 hours. YOU CANNOT SHOWER for 24 hours after application to achieve 100% absorption. You are paying 100% of price for 50% of effect! THis is a deceitful practice not informing the user.

Dear Scotland
Dear Scotland
Once again the issue of independence has reared its ugly head, and my question is why is this so important? and shouldn't we have moved on from such an issue after 300 years of union. First off I would like to take issue with the use of the word 'independence' in this situation. To use it is to imply a state of occupation and exploitation by someone else, Scotland is not Tibet and nor is it Sudan. We are in an equal union where the concerns of all regions are given equal and unbiased consideration. Our situation would merely be the transfer of power from one democratically elected government into two democratically elected governments. So what's the point?
It is a fairly common understand that for human kind to continue to socially evolve then there has to be a generation that doesn't see war. That isn't to say that England and Scotland would ever go to war about this, but the sentiment holds true, that is to say that there has the be a generation of people that stops seeing humans as different from one another and stops finding reasons to divide us apart into smaller and smaller groups. This translates to many different areas of society, whether it is religion or nationalism, or more local conflicts.
To continue to be motivated by such tribalistic fervour has no place in our modern globalised world. Since the invention of the internet, nationalism has become a thoroughly outdated principle. When it used to take weeks to simply travel from the north of Scotland to the South hundreds of years ago nationalism had a purpose. It would unify large areas of land and create harmony by providing people with a common identity, and it would motivate people it times of war and suffering. However, the world hasn't seen a major war in almost 70 years, we can fly to any part of the world within 24hrs and talk to people instantly via the internet. The world has become a much smaller place and the tool which used to unify such large areas now does the exact opposite and keeps us small and divided. A study in the US revealed that nationalism also doesn't reflect the ideas of the younger generation now graduating from university, Generation Y, who now see themselves as citizens in a global community who are likely to live in many cities around the world during their lifetime. Wouldn't it be a sad state of affairs if the most successful union in the history of the world suddenly had a spasm of confidence in itself and regressed into a tribal paradigm, when we are on the verge of handing over to a new generation who would most likely seal the future of our union for the long term. To continue to think in such irrational terms is primitive and has no place in the decision making processes of a competent modern government. It's high time we relegated nationalism to what it really is, a bit of fun on sports days.
Independence doesn't make any sense when you truly analyse the numbers or the ideologies, so where does this continued movement come from? It stems from the most self interested profession to ever grace our country, politics. A politician will reject rational argument in favour of that which increases his power, wealth and control over others. A politician would not vote for the dissolution of his position if it were in the interest of the country as a whole. To vote for independence is to participate in a self interested politician's power grab, and insert another level of bureaucracy in our government, which can never be a good thing. Alex Salmond seems to be an individual who is motivation by a generational grudge and deep seated hatred of the English, I imagine he lies asleep at night dreaming of his statue adorning towns and cities across the country, and teachers in classrooms telling the story of how he liberated Scotland from its evil English overlords. This issue hasn't come from the people, there aren't daily demonstrations n the streets demanding the release of Scotland, this idea is being forced upon us by politicians trying to consolidate and expand their power and control. Alex Salmond is blinkered by ideology and blinded by ego.
I think it's about time we collectively grew up, reject outdated ideas, and start to take pride in our collective identity. The British union is an example to the EU of what a successful union looks like and how it should be done, and is also a shinning case study to the world of what can happen when a group of countries agree to leave behind their differences and work together for a better future. Scotland is part of a union that we all benefit from, and I hope it stays this way into the distant future.
Yours sincerely
A Concerned Citizen
