GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
pretty good, I was getting bored and some teachers liked to just choose who they wouldn't like. I did everything right and they marked things incomplete. Other than that and the teachers don't let you do anything fun, it was okay.
I am entering ninth grade and it is a really excellent school. The teachers really push you and if you fall behind, they do their best to help you catch up.
I'm in high school now, but I went to SoJo (as the kids call it) and I think it's a great school. I was really pushed to excel in academics. Also, it's a good environment for the most part. I only saw one fight the entire time I was there. The only not-so-good part of this school is that it's sooo preppy and if you're not preppy, you're not gonna be one of the 'popular' kids... Just something I noticed. However, I have lots of great memories from that school.
This school has a great environment with kids that care more about who hangs out with who...and how bad the parties were last weekend. There isn't bad principles being taught and if there is ever a problem it is address long before it ever reaches the student body.
This is an excellent middle school. The staff if very positive and really care about the students. The students are respectful for the most part and care about their academic achievement. The teachers are top notch. Would be hard to find a better school for this age group anywhere!
Highest scoring middle school in entire southwest region! Fantanstic in the Arts, Sciences, and math! Very little student problems here.
I think South Jordan Middle School is an outstanding school! It has a very good enviorment! They have strict but good rules which keep kids feeling safe and well cared for. It was a very good experience for my children, I think very highly of this school! It's probably one of the best schools in the district no doubt about it!

Long walks, and odd men2 Reviews
Don't talk to strangers. And don't take candy from them. Simple as that.
I strolled down the street, messenger bag over my shoulder, trying to figure out where I could go. I didn't have any relatives in Jersey. Well, living ones anyway. I could go live in the graveyard. My grandmother could watch me from six feet under. Then again, I could go to my best friend's house. It was only thirty minutes away. By car.
I took a turn down an alley way. It was colder than the usual November air. The sky was cloudy, like it was going to rain.
I stopped and put my head in my hands. Tears flowed from my eyes.
I heard something behind me. I turned around, quickly. There was nothing there. I wiped my eyes as I continued to cry.
"Are you lost?" I jumped at the sound of a soft voice that was directly behind me.
"N-No." I spun around and flashed a smile that I didn't even believe.
"Are you alright? You look like you have been crying." The man asked. He was very pale and had black hair that reached his chin. He looked to be about three or four inches taller than myself.
"I suppose." I mumbled, feeling a bit awkward about this random guy getting all up in my business.
"Where are you going?" He took a step towards me.
"Uh, to my friend's house." I took a step back.
"Where is that?"
"Like, thirty minutes away." I took another step away, starting to feel a little bit scared.
"I can give you a ride, if you want." His light hazel eyes sparkled with the thought.
"I'm fine." I said quickly, taking a few more paces away from him. "I don't normally get rides from strangers."
"Well, I'm Gerard." He grinned, exposing his pretty white teeth. "There, now you know me."
"Well, that's not really what I meant." I rolled my eyes.
"Well, then what did you mean?" He raised an eyebrow at me.
"I meant, I don't get rides from people that I've known for like five seconds." I sighed.
"You've known me for about fifteen." He smirked, winking.
"I can walk. I'll be fine." I turned and started down the alley.
"Alright." He called after me. "Good bye, Hazel." He mumbled.
"How did you-" My voice stopped short as I turned to see he was gone.
Now, if that wasn't strange, I didn't know what was.

Today's column is online here. This is the second question, and the beginning of my answer:
At a concert in a small venue, when the artist asks for requests, is it rude to request a well known cover by the artist as opposed to one of his original songs? Assuming the cover by the artist is relatively popular as a recording but is obviously not his own music.
R.J. Canton, OH
Miss Conduct wants to throw flowers and bravos at you, R.J. for your understanding that live performers are human beings, and not meat-based streaming platforms for music and spoken-word poetry. Live music, theater, or comedy should be seen as a social event, not as a consumer experience.
I wrote this column shortly after reading a piece by Tim Parks in the New York Review of Books in which the author gets himself trapped–temporarily, but for much longer than he, or you, or the Supreme Court's legal fiction of the "reasonable person," would ever desire–at a dreadful avant garde production of "Six Characters in Search of an Author." I clicked on the article expecting a hurr durr, experimental theater is stoopid screed, but it was a good deal smarter than that.
The performing arts are inherently social in a way that, say, literature and painting aren't, because the artists are right there in the room with you. They can see you. This creates a certain pressure to conform to social norms–having Capt'n Crunch staring at you can affect your behavior, never mind Blanche DuBois–including sticking around and acting like you're paying attention at least until intermission. And this can open audiences up to artistic experiences they might not otherwise have.
Parks points out that not every work of art is instantly pleasing. Some take time to get into. In a museum or gallery, there is no social pressure to continue to gaze at a painting that doesn't immediately thrill your eye. You glance and move on. Imagine if the artists were all standing next to their work, though! You'd feel bad to do that. So you'd look at everything longer, and maybe ask a few questions to be nice. (This is what the "poster sessions" of scientific conferences are like.) You might end up developing a great and genuine fondness for some paintings that didn't grab you at all at first.
Theater does exert that social pressure:
In the theater on the other hand the flesh-and-blood presence of the actors, good or bad as they may be, creates a sense of reality and immediacy, a heightened state of attention. Having paid for your seat, having promised yourself a special evening, and finding yourself sitting in the middle of a long row beside others who have also paid and promised themselves a special evening, others whom you imagine have similar interests to your own, people willing to spend time and money supporting avant-garde culture, a community almost—in these circumstances you are probably always going to hang on at least thirty minutes, however bewildered and sceptical you may be. And thirty minutes should be enough for Beckett's enchantments to begin to work. Simply the emotional experience of being in the theater, the sense of occasion, the positive atmosphere of people engaging in an intellectual pursuit together, provides the necessary momentum for tackling the great enigma of Beckett's work.
Park's column influenced my choice of and answer to that question, and then after I'd turned it in, this happened:
An actor in a Santa Clarita, Calif. production of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" was fired Saturday after physically removing a heckler in the audience who lobbed anti-gay slurs at the cast for nearly half of the show.
John Lacy, who played Big Daddy in Tennessee Williams' classic play that tackles homophobia among other themes, was fired after jumping off stage and physically confronting an audience member who repeatedly made noise and yelled "fag" during emotionally tense scenes, according to audience members' accounts of the incident on Facebook.
The show apparently continued following the confrontation and concluded to a standing ovation. Lacy was apparently not let go until after the performance.
Where in the name of Joseph Papp was the producer? The front-of-house management? The stage manager? Mr. Lacy should not have escalated–responding to words with hands is never the right thing to do–but he was absolutely in the right to do something, and the fact that he chose an unwise something is not on him. A person who is disrupted in the middle of a task that requires 100% of their emotional, physical, and intellectual energy is not wholly responsible for how they respond to that disruption. Mr. Lacy should have been protected by management, and since he wasn't, there is no way in hell that he should have been punished for protecting his fellow actor, the dignity of his craft, and the rest of the audience's right to enjoy the play in peace. (There has been, if not a happy ending, at least a silver lining to the whole story reported here.)
This story enraged me, because it seems less about an isolated case of extremely bad theater etiquette than it does part of a whole complex of entitlement. Every student who has ever demanded a grade as though that is what tuition pays for. Every customer who thinks they're always right. Every blog commenter who whines that the blogger isn't writing about what they, the commenter, thinks is important.
The customer isn't always right.
The customer isn't always even a customer.
Sometimes the customer is a participant.
And that is a much bigger and better thing to be. Live up to it.

Pre School Program
These movement-based classes are designed to develop the whole child, socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively.. They provide positive movement experiences that can influence a child's outlook on physical activity for life.
At Redland City Gymsports all pre-prep classes are guided by accredited coaches to ensure that the equipment set-ups are safe, stimulating and provide endless movement opportunities for each child to play and learn while enhancing your child's development, coordination, confidence and self-esteem.
Kindergym With a combination of structured learning time and free discovery, children learn to follow an obstacle course while developing dominant movement patterns, motor and social skills. As a parent participation class, we expect that initially your child may interact with you mostly which provides quality one-on-one time with each other. As children progress, they will begin to interact more with their peers and the coach and you will be there first-hand to watch and help your child grow!
Age: 2 years - kindy age
Time commitment: 1 x 45 mins
Prerequisites: placement is based on age only; parental participation is required
See Kindergym Flyer
Tiny Tumblers is an independent class for girls and boys. Watch your child as they develop confidence, learning skills which will assist them in the transition to prep such as working in a group, sharing, listening to and following instructions and most importantly... a love of learning in a fun and supportive environment.
Age: kindy age (starting Prep the following year)
Time commitment: 1 x 1 hour
Prerequisites: none, placement is based on age only
Class size: 8 per coach
Hot Shots This squad is designed for muscle men and muscle women in our pre-prep program. An extension of Kindygym and Tiny Tumblers, girls and boys will participate in a fast paced warm up, basic strength and stretching, shaping and advanced dominant movement patterns on floor, beam, bars and trampoline. The natural progression from this class is to the MAG Intro Squad (boys) or WAG Foundation Squad (girls.) This is an independent class and does not require parent participation.
Age: 3-5 year old (not enrolled in Prep)
Time commitment: 1 x 1 hour

I would NEVER tell her…
But, my sis is my best friend. By far.
I've known we were close and I was blessed to have a functional relationship with her, and well all my siblings, but I know for a fact she's my best friend. And it makes me revisit all the people through my life that I have frivolously given that title to. Unfortunately, not one of them comes close.
Yea we fight, we're siblings, that's what we're suppose to do. Yea, I 've told her I hated her and she me (especially when she wore my favorite superman shirt to play basketball in…BASKETBALL!!!). but At no point in my life, have I ever felt like I could survive without her.
I've never felt like I've had to be different around her or put on a front. If I feel like being silly and immature, I can without the eyes of judgement. If I feel like being the biggest asshole to someone who pissed me off and go on a rant about how they are bitch ass sluts, I can. And she'll agree.
Her and I speak our own language. We can have a FULL conversation, I swear which consist of.
-yes I did poot
-I wish I wasn't wearing this effin shirt
-*look exchanged*
-shut up
-aight deuces
-chuck em
Whats great is, I know this about us will never change. Now that shes back from school, having her close by, so many times I just look up and think, "I don't care if all my friends ditch me today, she got my back. And its comforting knowing there's at least one person in this world who's feelings for you never waiver. But I tell ya this,
Whom ever I marry, is gonna have it hard getting her approval. And yes its necessary. Probably more necessary than my mothers.
40 Things To Teach Kids
These Days
A few months ago, I moved in with my girlfriend and her daughter and son, ages 9 and 11 respectively. These are a few things I wish they would learn:
1. A glass of wine a night does not make me an alcoholic, and it'd be great if you didn't tell your grandmother that.
2. If you did things the first time you were told, you'd waste a lot less of your own time
3. My generation was embarrassed when our parents joined Facebook. You'll be embarrassed when you join Facebook and find your mom has hundreds of photos of you just waiting to be tagged.
4. Adults on Disney Channel shows are portrayed as useless dolts to make you feel better. This is not representative of real life.
5. Everyone feels like a dork in middle school.
6. Justin Timberlake is a singer.
7. Will Smith is not just the father of Willow and The Karate Kid.
8. By going to church with your friend's family, you are bowing to the peer pressure that has perpetuated centuries of religious oppression.
9. It's not my fault you're bored.
10. I let you win at chess.
11. School and work are not equivalent.
12. It's racist to make fun of people's accents.
13. That turkey, mashed potatoes, and broccoli I just made you was not a snack.
14. Your 4-year-old niece is not to be spun around like a hammer throw.
15. You would love Lord Of The Flies.
16. JK Rowling is a woman.
17. Pro wrestling is fake.
18. It is not a fun game to see how angry you can make each other.
19. The tomatoes in pizza don't count.
20. A belt will keep your pants up.
21. If you think a karate belt is difficult, wait till clip-on ties become unacceptable.
22. Polo shirts are not for babies.
23. Pepto Bismol is not for girls.
24. An iced coffee is not a milkshake and no, you may not have one.
25. Melatonin is the best invention in modern parenting.
26. It is not okay to sing LMFAO at the top of your lungs at 6:30 a.m. (or at anytime, really).
27. Watching a walkthrough of a videogame on YouTube before you even own it ruins the whole point.
28. When watching a movie you've seen but I haven't, there's this thing called a "spoiler alert."
29. Lady Gaga is not old.
30. "Sweet Caroline" is not a Glee original (see also: "Bust A Move," "Leaving On A Jet Plane," and "Don't Stop
31. Your mother is the most important person in the world vis a vis your existence.
32. There's a difference between someone being nice and someone being rich.
33. Ten minutes of spelling homework is not "a ton".
34. "Sucks" is a useless word. It doesn't describe anything.
35. Your life does not suck.
36. You don't have to say, "I have a question." Go ahead and ask the question.
37. There are 151 Pokémon. Period.
38. The cool kids in your class are trying really, really hard.
39. Your friends will change.
40. So will you.
All my cool friends love love this song lol…… So you probably should too. Ps. this is a very highly entertaining video lol.
I usually hate usin the N-word….but for those who understand, this is a UNIVERSAL N-word. SO happy we have a new storyteller rapper LETS GO!
[Verse 1]
Baby girl, I can't imagine what it's like for you
I got you pregnant, now inside there is a life in you
I know you wondering if this is gon' make me think 'bout wifing you
Like if you have my first child, would I spend my whole life with you?
Now I ain't tryna pick a fight with you, I'm tryna talk
Now I ain't tryna spend the night with you, I'm kinda lost
See, I've been giving it some thought lately and
Frankly I'm feel like we ain't ready and this.. Hold up now, let me finish!
Think about it, baby, me and you we still kids ourselves
How we gonna raise a kid by ourself?
Handle biz by ourself? A nigga barely over 20
Where the hell we gon' live? Where am I gon' get that money?
I refuse to bring my boy or my girl in this world
When I ain't got shit to give 'em
And I'm not with them niggas who be knocking girls up and skate out
So girl you gotta think about how the options weigh out, what's the way out?
[Hook x2]
And I ain't too proud to tell you
That I cry sometime, I cry sometimes about it
And girl I know it hurt, but if this world was perfect
Then we can make it work but I doubt it
[Verse 2]
She said "Nigga, you got some nerve to come up to me talking about abortion
This my body nigga, so don't think you finna force shit!
See I knew that this is how you act, so typical
Said you love me oh but now you flipping like reciprocals
It figures though, I shoulda known that you was just another nigga
No different from them other niggas
Who be claiming that they love you just to get up in them drawers
Knowing all the right things to say, I let you hit it raw, muthafucka!
Now I'm pregnant, you don't wanna get involved, muthafucka?
Tryna take away a life, is you God, muthafucka?
I don't think so! This a new life up in my stomach
Regardless if I'm your wife, this new life here I'mma love it
I ain't budging I just do this by my muthafucking self
See my mama raised me without no motherfucking help from a man
But I still don't understand how you could say that
Did you forget all those conversations that we had way back
'bout your father? And you told me that you hate that nigga
Talking about he a coward and you so glad that you ain't that nigga
Cause he left your mama when she had you and he ain't shit
And here you go doing the same shit… you ain't shit nigga!"
[Hook x2]
And I ain't too proud to tell you
That I cry sometimes, I cry sometimes about it
And boy this shit hurts, and ain't nobody perfect
Still we can make it work but you doubt it
[Verse 3]
They say everything happens for a reason
And people change like the seasons, then grow apart
She wanted him to show his heart and say he loved her
He spoke the magic words and on the same day he fucked her
Now she wide open, she put a ring up on his finger if she could
But he loved her cause the pussy good but she ain't no wife though
Uh oh! She telling him she missed her period like typos
He panicking, froze up like a mannequin
A life grows inside, and now he asking "is it even mine?"
What if this bitch ain't even pregnant, dog, could she be lying?
And she be crying cause he acting distant
Like "ever since I told you this, nigga you acting different"
And all his niggas saying these hoes be trapping niggas
Playing with niggas' emotions like they some action figures
Swear they get pregnant for collateral, it's like extortion
Man if that bitch really pregnant tell her to get a abortion
But what about your seed nigga?
You know when I first started writing for this post it was gonna be this long magical thing. Something really creative and beautiful and complex and….then I realized, friendship is SO amazing, such a powerful part of life…I need very little to define it.
Friendship- is compulsory. You never see it coming til its upon you. It just happens.

Came across a player yesterday without first aid. He played well, but finding he didn't have first aid did inspire a wince.
Like Tridus I'm a holy priest who also has maxed first aid. I keep bandages but very rarely use them. I more often find myself giving them to people who have run out - which I'm more than happy to do as it's a good indicator they're actually using them. I've also been known to use them on people who *should* be using them, when I'm out of mana or trying to conserve it.
Puddlejumper - you also inspire a wince. Bandages can be used in combat. I don't care if you can drop out with invis, you may find a time you can't because it's on cooldown.
Also, everyone please learn first aid for the poison antidotes. It's a very handy consumeable to have if you don't have someone who can cleanse the poison or that person is too busy with another role.

Reed students have access to resources and privileges that Lane students do not; as such, LASER seeks to provide Lane students with classroom assistance and one-on-one mentor relationships.
LASER (Lane After School Education with Reed) gives Reed students the opportunity to gain valuable first-hand teaching experience, while forging and sustaining important connections with the greater Portland community. In-class interns and after school mentors strive to confront the social and economic inequities that stratify our city and public education system.
Volunteer applications are due by Sat., Sept. 20th at 11:59 p.m.
Questions? Contact firstname.lastname@example.com or either SEEDS intern listed below.
After school mentors
Mentoring is a rewarding year-long commitment between a Reedie and a Lane Middle School student. Each pair spends two hours a week together after school. There is no set curriculum; the goal of the program is to provide each Lane student with a responsible, consistent, fun adult, while providing Reedies with an opportunity to get off campus, gain insight about education and social issues, and put their education to a practical use.
Mentoring takes place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30-5:30 p.m., so potential mentors must be able to be on the Lane school campus during those hours.
This qualifies for Off-Campus Federal Work Study Community Service.
Contact SEEDS intern, John Young
In-class interns
Interns are selected to work in a specific classroom with varying teachers and subjects based upon their own experience and academic interests. Most travel to Lane once a week, although some choose to volunteer more to make solid connections with Lane students and to learn the inner workings of the school. During second semester, interns can work with the after-school program as well and assist in enrichment and extracurricular activities. Additionally, interns participate in a short orientation and meet monthly to check in, maintain a support network, discuss educational issues, and/or plan larger activities. Occasional weekend or evening trainings will also be provided; at these trainings, interns will gain knowledge and awareness about issues of public education and diversity as well as effective skills for working with those issues.
This qualifies for Off-Campus Federal Work Study Community Service.

The version of rpg maker I'm using (vx), by default, only lets you use a set number of tilesets. Which is a hassle! Because I want to use lots. To get around this there's a neat little program and script that swaps tilesets around when you go into new areas. This'll work fine but it's really awkward. Before playtesting, all tilesets have to be set back to default so rooms you've been working on… turn into the picture posted (it's fine in game though!).
I'd use vx ace which allows unlimited tilesets but, man, I've done too much to start again now, plus I don't like any of the battle systems that I've seen done for vx ace.
Making tilesets is like thinking in squares twice… First for the objects, then for the spaces they fill. It's tricky and often I have to make a sacrifice of something that looks good to something that works. But I'm learning! At least I'm learning.
Have you ever though about trying out parallaxing? Instead of using tilesets. It can be a little confusing at first, but it's honestly a really nice way to go.
Though I don't know if you are too far into making the game to try that out or not.
Either way, I'm really looking forward to see this game completed!
Ah thanks!!
I want to for backgrounds, I haven't thought about it any more than that though… I'll look into it! It's not the visual stuff I feel like I've done too much of to start again but rather everything else. So I'm definitely open to trying out new ways of putting a map together at this point!

Is there a natural way to balance the chemicals in a chemically unbalanced brain?
So a quick explanation and a bit of history about why I ask this question. Admittedly this question relates to myself, it's been a number of years since I last saw a physiological or a doctor so I expect the first reply to this question will be probably say "Go see a doctor".
I inherited a brain with a distinct lack of Serotonin and as such my days are up and down. As a teen I took generic prozac but found that it made my mood and general self grey. As are most teens doing something they don't want to do, they don't do it...
I stopped taking the medication and dealt with the depression my own way and that's the way it's been since. Over time I've gained an appreciation for natural health, I don't mean essence of lavender and such, but things as simple as vegetables and the vitamins and such they provide.
I've come to a cross road where I want to stick with my ideals of natural health and feeling better.
I realize it isn't an easy question or topic, but anyone with insight on any level would help.

I like your "dealt with the depression my own way".
The reasons:
(1) Serotonin is a information chemical representing many physiological activities.
Prozac does not.
(2) "....
12. Health
To be fit, smart, and energetic for more than 100 years old, we need do as instinctively as possible according to the following 4 points:
(1) Eat Various Living Cells Only
This is because our instincts or ancestors' successful experiences determine us to eat this way.
This way is conjointly regulated by the ultra-high accuracy and optimal points as mentioned above.
Also, this way must be the concrete specific standards of the so called rational diet, balanced diet, or complete diet by doctors and nutritionists.
(2) Exhaust Muscles in Nature Every Day
This is because our instincts or ancestors' successful experiences determine us to exercise this way, too.
This way is regulated jointly by the ultra-high accuracy and optimal points as well.
We have to exercise exhaustedly; otherwise, our muscles will gradually degenerate. This is the lesson taught in the biology at our junior high school.
The degeneration of muscles will induce a lot of healthy problems. This is because of our body is a system of all its parts working conjointly and influencing one another closely with ultra-high accuracy and at their optimal points.
(3) Be in Bed in the Dark All Night Long
Our instincts of ultra-high bio-economics require us being in bed in the dark all night long. This is the lesson taught in the biology at our junior high school, too.
(4) Seek Only Valid Happiness Lifelong
Almost all of the troubles of in our life are caused by invalid happiness. Apparently, the really believing in all kinds of invalid happiness is harmful to us and quit them definitely will make us healthy and happy lifelong.

The year is 2054. Magic has returned to the world, awakening powerful creatures of myth and legend. Technology merges with flesh and consciousness. Elves, trolls, orks and dwarves walk among us, while ruthless corporations bleed the world dry. You are a shadowrunner – a mercenary living on the fringes of society, in the shadows of massive corporate arcologies, surviving day-by-day on skill and instinct alone. When the powerful or the desperate need a job done, you get it done… by any means necessary.
Shadowrun Dragonfall (DLC):
In 2012, magic returned to our world, awakening powerful creatures of myth and legend. Among them was the Great Dragon Feuerschwinge, who emerged without warning from the mountains of Germany unleashing fire, death, and untold destruction across the countryside. It took German forces nearly four months to finally shoot her down - and when they finally did, the event became known as the Dragonfall.

A high school friend of mine used to live in the Syrian Jewish neighborhood of Gravesend, Brooklyn, down near Coney Island. He described it as an insular, conservative, and somewhat bizarre ethnic enclave that included many opulent houses.
As we were putting together this issue, we realized that coordinating a fashion shoot inside Syria would void our insurance. So I got back in touch with my old friend and asked whether he knew of any families who might be willing to be photographed and possibly interviewed. I stressed that it would be a respectful, straightforward fashion spread, and he was kind enough to put out some feelers.
Here's one of the responses sent to my friend from the father of a Syrian Jewish family (extended ellipses have been left intact): "Definitely not interested….. We do not like articles written about our community…… It is bad press, which causes unwanted attention…. Please discourage your friend from writing this piece…."
All the replies were in the same vein. Luckily, we tracked down a Syrian Jewish family living in nearby Sheepshead Bay who were willing to participate. The kids—Jack, Linda, and Etsik—were born in the US and said they feel no strong connection to Syria. Linda added that living near many other Syrian Jews can be good sometimes because "everyone you know is around you," but it can also be really annoying because, again, "everyone you know is around you."
"I don't like Syrian cooking," Jack said. "I hate it. It's all greasy, oily, fat. Ugh." When asked about his love life, Jack said that his past two girlfriends weren't Jewish, but he does plan to someday marry a nice Jewish girl.
Their mother, Mari, who was born in Syria, doesn't miss it. No surprise there: Like much of the Middle East and everywhere else on earth, Syria has historically acted like a nasty little fucker to its Jewish population, at times instituting bans on Jews leaving the country and other extreme restrictions. In the 1950s, Jewish cemeteries were seized and plowed over by the Syrian government. There were around 30,000 Jews in Syria in 1943; by 1968, only 4,000 remained. These days, all but an estimated 16 Jews have left the country, with many families relocating to Brooklyn over the years. I look at these photos and wonder what it would be like for them if their brethren had stayed any longer, and how wonderful life can be in a country where people don't try to kill you because your ancestors might've believed in some bullshit or other.

The CDC has linked the salmonella poisoning cases to last week's recall of more than 1,000 pounds of ground beef from two Michigan businesses.
At least 16 people in five states have fallen sick from salmonella food poisoning tied to ground beef, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
No deaths have been reported yet, but more than half of those sickened had to be hospitalized, CBS News reported. Nine of the cases were in Michigan. The others were in Arizona, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin.
The CDC has linked the salmonella poisoning cases to last week's recall of more than 1,000 pounds of ground beef from two Michigan businesses: Troy-based Gab Halal Foods and Sterling Heights-based Jouni Meats. The agency said that ground beef from both businesses may be contaminated with a strain of Salmonella typhimurium
Seven of the people who were sickened in Michigan ate a raw beef dish called kibbeh at an unidentified Detroit restaurant. The CDC has asked people not to consume uncooked meat.

Salmonella poisoning can cause diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts four to seven days, and most recover without treatment. However, in some of those sickened, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized.

SoHo apartments are among the most desirable living spaces in Manhattan, especially if you can find something in one of the architecturally-stunning cast-iron buildings that, along with the narrow cobblestone streets, give the neighborhood its unique, historic character.
Today, many SoHo apartments, whether for rent or for sale, retain that unique historic feel and have therefore become more expensive as the artists in their once-inexpensive loft spaces make room for residents attracted to both old and newly constructed NY apartments.
SoHo apartments can be found in the area bordered by West Broadway and Lafayette Street to the west and east respectively, and Houston and Canal Streets on the north and south. In the 1960's, artists began moving into the large, mostly abandoned factories and warehouses. The rest of New York City re-discovered the area beginning in the early 1980's, and art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants followed, transforming the neighborhood and inviting developers to take advantage of its popularity as a place to browse, shop, and, later, a wonderful place to call home. Soon buyers and renters flocked to claim Soho's preserved architectural landmarks, including the spacious lofts above the street fronts.
In recent years, SoHo rental apartments share the area with a world-class shopping destination, with hundreds of shops featuring coveted, cutting-edge designers of clothing, jewelry, home furnishings, linens, and lighting. A vibrant street life attracts locals and tourists alike to browse and buy at both familiar and unique high-end stores, from Prada, Chanel, Tumi, to Kid Robot, Moss, Alessi, Bathing Ape, and Agatha Ruiz de la Prada. Street vendors hawk their handmade wares, artists set their stands up and down West Broadway to ply their paintings, and the people-watching, especially on the weekends, is some of the best in town.
As far as food, the SoHo neighborhood is packed with enticing options-- everything from a fresh-squeezed juice drink, an exotic snack, or a three-course haute cuisine. Dedicated chocoholics will be in heaven at MarieBelle on Broome Street, for an amazing assortment of chocolates up front and thick Euro-style hot chocolate at the Cacao Bar in the back. There's so much to choose from: the trendy (comfort food with a twist at Delicatessen), the old-school (a burger and a beer at the classic Fanelli's), the late-night (Blue Ribbon Sushi, often packed at 2:00 a.m., and serving some of the best raw fish in town), the established excellence at the likes of Mercer Kitchen, Balthazar, Raoul's and Aquagrill.
Historic townhouses, modern apartments, condos, lofts, and walk-ups--SoHo rentals and real estate have become sought-after residences and are among the most desirable habitats in the city.

The Cape Wind Project is an approved offshore wind farm, on Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off Cape Cod in the U.S. state of Massachusetts, proposed by a private developer, Cape Wind Associates, the brainchild of Jim Gordon set up as a joint business venture between Energy Management Inc. and Wind Management LLP. A massive amount of controversy has surrounded the project, and if it moves forward on schedule, the wind farm may become the first offshore wind energy project in United States coastal waters.
The project has been fought by the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, formed in 2001 opposing the wind farm because it will construct 130 400-foot (120 m) tall wind turbines in the middle of an environmentally sensitive Nantucket Sound.

Default Chapter1 Reviews
Two very different men have some things in common after all. Very unusual pairing. Yaoi.
When Nooj was a child, one of his first lessons was that if you wanted something, you simply went after it. You grabbed it, you took it, and you did whatever you pleased with it. He never forgot that lesson, even though his primary desire was death. He never intended to forget it either, especially when the something was a someone today. Now, a someone was a little different than a something. You have to consider personality, feelings, thoughts and reactions. Other than that, a someone was little different than a something. You wanted someone, you took inititave, but you did it on a tightrope. Not too confident, but not without it. Not too aggressive, but far from passive. Even though the left side of his body was Machina, he knew that he would have no problem maintaining his balance with a someone he intended to go after.
That someone was a Summoner. A soft-spoken, but sharp tongued one as he had no problem tearing apart Nooj's fellow Crimson Squad candidates whenever they hit on him. Not a single one of them had balance. Some fell right off the tightrope, others were pushed off by the red haired Summoner, while others managed to straddle the line just for a little bit before they simply jumped off. Some, however, never even had a chance to get on a tightrope. Case in point: the man who currently swaggered over to the Summoner and hovered near him for awhile. As soon as Nooj saw that, he knew that the burly, dark haired man had zero chance to do much of anything. He was part of Group 6 among the Crimson Squad candidates. They were known to be strong, but quite foolish. Nooj had no doubt that he would get to see just why Group 6 members earned the reputation they had. The Summoner, sensing the man's presence, slowly turned around and remained still, clearly waiting for the right moment to strike.
"Are you with someone?" The man asked and Nooj inwardly groaned as he had witness this about a thousand times everywhere else. Stupidity was universal.
"No," was the Summoner's only reply. Nooj knew that wasn't true as he had seen the Summoner with two Guardians, a dark skinned man and a child before the latter two went to their room. This made things interesting to him as he leaned forward, not wanting to miss a thing.
"Are you looking for some company?" The man asked, moving towards the empty stool.
The Summoner leaned back with a smile as bright as day, "Why yes, as a matter of fact, if you have any suggestions other than yourself, send them on by."
/He could suggest me, but he won't/. Nooj thought, helplessly grinning. /Not that I need anyone to suggest me/.
"I'm going to go out now," the man finally said after a long pause.
"You do that," was the Summoner's terse reply. When the man walked off, the Summoner turned back to the bar. Nooj wanted to get up and dance. He wished more people were like the Summoner. That way, there'd be less assholes who seemed to plague Spira.
"Oh man!" Gippal exclaimed before knocking back his clear, strong liquor know as "Yazu". "That was cold! Loved it!" He sat next to Baralai, who sat across from Nooj. Baralai buried his smile in his collar. He didn't touch his water. He was the only one at the table that didn't have an alcoholic drink. In fact, Nooj was willing to bet that he was the only one in all of the Mi'ihen travel agency that didn't.
"My kind of guy," Paine replied. She had a strawberry daiquiri in her gloved hands and mixed the whipped cream with a straw.
"Mine too," Nooj answered as he took a sip of red wine. His three friends looked incredulously at him.
"Excuse me? Your kind of guy?" Baralai blinked about a dozen times.
"Yes, mine," Nooj looked at the Summoner, who still had his back turned. "He's strong."
"That's obvious," Paine interjected. "You have to strong to be a Summoner."
"That's not quite what I meant. I mean that he's not afraid of getting rid of creeps. If you're an ass, he sees no reason to be polite." When Baralai flashed Nooj an evil grin, he added with a grin of his own, "I'm not a creep Baralai, so don't get any ideas."
Baralai chuckled, "I don't think I could be like him though. I mean, if someone were to threaten me, I'd fight back, but I wouldn't know how to deal with people like the Summoner just dealt with."
"Just say no," Paine shrugged.
Gippal put his arm around Baralai, "And say yes to me!"
"I thought I did that already," Baralai smooched his best friend's cheek.
"Knock it off, brats!" Nooj snapped in a playful manner. Paine only rolled her eyes.
"Yea, that'll happen," she said.
"So, how come you keep staring at the Summoner?" Gippal inquired. "You think you have a chance with him?"
The spray from the newly spat out drinks nearly blinded Nooj. Baralai looked as if Nooj had gone into a Temple and took a dump on one of the Fayths. Paine and Gippal couldn't help but shake their heads while trying not to laugh.
"In case you haven't noticed, Noojster, half your body is Machina," Gippal managed to respond after nearly choking on the Yazu.
"So?" Baralai echoed. "Nooj, if he is a Summoner, then he is sure to be a devout Yevonite."
"So, he'll probably detach your Machina limbs and shove them up your ass," Paine answered.
Nooj only shrugged, "He wouldn't do that."
"Oh, really? How would you know?" Gippal asked.
"It's all about maintaining balance," Nooj responded. Baralai raised his eyebrows. He knew exactly what Nooj was talking about.
"Indeed," Baralai agreed, "but, you're not dealing with an average Spiran. In fact, I don't think you're dealing with an average Summoner."
"He's human, isn't he?" Nooj argued. "Just because he's a Summoner, doesn't mean he's above everyone else."
"The rest of Spira disagrees," Baralai shook his head.
"I don't care," Nooj shrugged, looking back at the Summoner. He finally noticed that the Summoner was wearing blue and white robes. "All I have to do is tread carefully, then grab him and take him."
"Would that be before or after he chars you with an Aeon?" Paine grinned.
"He's not going to char me with a Aeon," Nooj answered simply.
"Oh, really?" Paine leaned forward, her face turning red from trying to hold back even more laughter. "What makes you so sure?"
"For him to react that way, I'd have to be a real threat. He hasn't charred anyone yet, and I seriously doubt I'd be the first."
"You're sort of missing the point though, Noojster," the younger Al Bhed glanced over to the Summoner. "I think he's rejected everyone here because they're either Crusaders or Crimson Squad candidates. No way the Summoner would find that attractive. He'd rather have a Yevonite."
"I don't think even a Yevonite would be good enough for him," Baralai sighed, looking at the Summoner. Nooj noticed longing in his dark eyes, but it only lasted for a second because Gippal grinned at him and he grinned back. "You'd need to be a Maester..."
"Or a fellow Summoner," Paine nodded.
"Maybe a Captain..."
All of them feel silent once Nooj mentioned that. Just a couple days ago, they were on a ship discussing their dreams of having an Airship of their own. Paine would be the pilot, Baralai would be the Navigator, Gippal would the engineer and Nooj himself would be Captain. So, where would the Summoner fit? Nooj found himself balling his fists. He knew damned well where the Summoner would fit. In a casket, or one of the Fayths all over Spira. There'd be a statue erected of him and he would become "High Summoner." Such a title meant nothing to Nooj because the Summoner granted that title was always dead, so what good would it do? It made Nooj wonder if the real reason for all the rejections was the realization that everything has now lost meaning since the Summoner would die. Before the three who sat with him, Nooj had no one and saw no point in being with anyone since he only intended to die. He earned two nicknames for that, but neither one guaranteed his death. But, the Summoner? He was sure to die. As far as Nooj was concerned, it's what linked them.
"Captain?" Gippal echoed before shaking his head. "No, still not good enough."
"We have something in common. How about that?"
When Baralai gasped, "Nooj!" No one was surprised. The white haired youth went on to say, "I don't want either of you to die, but at least his death is for Spira. Yours would be for yourself without any regard for your friends!"
"And the Summoner? Does he have regard for his friends? What about his Guardians? The dark skinned one must either be a friend or a brother. The little one is either his youngest brother or his child."
Baralai quickly countered, "As Guardians, they know what will happen to him, and if they didn't accept it, they would not have been Guardians."
"Sure, that works for the older one, but the younger? You make it sound like he has a choice."
That statement hung in air like a flying fiend. Gippal and Paine lowered their heads, but Baralai pressed his full lips together until his mouth looked like a straight line. Nooj glanced back at the Summoner. He knew that there was no way the child knew the implications of the Pilgrimage. Even if he didn't know the Summoner, he knew that he was an adult, and like most adults, they would lie to children thinking that a favor was done. Nooj would have loved to be a fly on the wall of the Zanarkand Fayth just to see the boy's reaction once he found out what had to be done in order to defeat Sin. That was, of course, assuming the Summoner ever made it that far. As soon as Nooj pictured the bleak mountains of Gagazet, he shut his eyes.
"Are you okay, Nooj?"
He opened his eyes to see concern in Baralai's. He nodded and glanced one more time at the Summoner. Nooj knew what Summoners were supposed to do. He understood that they would die to save the world for a little while. All they were doing was perpetrating the same thing for one thousand years. They didn't die honorably. They died for a religion that sacrificed them to appease a god that no one should be worshipping. What sort of beast would bring a monster into the world to kill and maim others? His own life was ruined. Countless lives, including that of his friends, were ruined in some way. What of the Summoner? Was his life as ruined as the others? Did he seek death because of it? What of his Guardians? Did the Summoner consider them? Nooj knew that he would never be able to find out unless he made his move now.
Taking one last gulp of wine, Nooj grabbed his cane and stood up. His left hip hurt, but he grit his teeth. Pain was nothing new to him.
"You're going to go after him?" Gippal asked, incredulous.
"Of course."
Paine smiled at Nooj, her eyes a mixture of awe and approval, "Good luck."
"Please be careful, Nooj," Baralai said, also smiling.
"You don't have to worry. The worst thing he could do is kill me," Nooj replied, helplessly returning the smiles.
The walk over the empty stool was the easiest in the world. If anyone stared at him and hoped that the Summoner would knock him into the middle of next week, he neither knew nor cared. All he knew was that the Summoner would be his for the taking, at least for a little while. Without concern for what might happen, Nooj sat sideways on the stool, ignoring everyone but the Summoner. He could see that the other man quickly tensed, his hands flat out on the bar. That didn't concern Nooj. The Summoner wasn't going anywhere. Nooj knew that before he claimed the space as his own.
Up close, Nooj could see the irritation all over the Summoner's handsome face as his hands became fists, but he simply waited until the Summoner finally turned, a string of vicious words ready to be thrown. Nothing came out. Instead, the Summoner's mouth remained open, his sharp blue eyes wide as his hands fell on his heavily robed lap. He could only manage one whispered word, a title Nooj had been given for his recklessness in battle.

Now that the pressure of a sweep is off of the Philadelphia Flyers shoulders they should enter this game a little more loose mentally.
Their poor play in Game 4 allowed the Pittsburgh Penguins to grab some life and try to chip their way through each minute, period and game to try to carve a path for a comeback.
Is it time for Flyers fans to panic? Not just yet, but there is cause for concern resulting from the performance in the previous game.
The NHL fined the Isles last year $100,000 for the brawl game vs. the Pens, but the Pens did not get fined anything despite a player leaving the bench as a sixth skater to join a fight on the ice - which, by the way, means the head coach should be suspended for one game - he wasn't. But owner Mario Lemieux stated that the NHL didn't do enough to punish the Isles for that disgrace of a game.
Keep in mind that Matt Martin and Trevor Gillies received suspensions. They rightfully deserved them, and Godard got the 10 games required for leaving the bench, but the Penguins didn't receive any other suspensions or fines of any kind.
Lemieux, despite the one-sided disciplinary action, still felt that the league didn't do enough.
Mother Nature had her way with just about everyone this past week, amping up the temperatures to trick everyone into thinking they were in mid-playoff form. Unfortunately, this was the week that the Canadiens discovered (for real) that there is no chance of that for them this year.Shut Out: Wednesday, March 21st, 2012
Cody Hodgson scored his first goal as a Buffalo Sabre and added another in the third period to procure the Sabres a win, Tuesday, against the Canadiens.
The Sabres once were where the Canadiens are, and are now where they usually tend to be at this time of year, fighting for a playo...
Making Ilya Bryzgalov the story for every game has become tiresome to the fans, the front office and Bryzgalov himself.
But when he does something as special as he's done the past couple of weeks, it's hard to just take all the focus away from the Russian netminder, nicknamed the $51 Million Man.
The Flyers have been winning, and they have been playing a brand of hockey many expected them to play down the stretch. Scoring, defense and goaltending - those are the three things that win championships.
So why does the focus all come back to Bryzgalov? Because of the franchise shutout streak that he just broke that stood tall for 13 years midway through the second period.
After not winning back-to-back games since early January, the Philadelphia Flyers have managed to string together a three-game winning streak.
They will look to extend that streak to four tonight when they face the Florida Panthers in front of the Philly home crowd.
Both the Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings are racking up the injuries. Absences on both teams are taking their toll. The Wings have fell out of first place in the league and in the Central Division, so it is very important for the Wings to rack up the points.
The Wings are missing many defensemen, including star Nicklas Lidstrӧm. Jonathan Ericsson is still out from a fractured wrist. Jakub Kindl left the game against Chicago early due to an upper body injury. Pavel Datsyuk is still missing from the line up. Jimmy Howard and Todd Bertuzzi both have groin strains. Danny Cleary did not practice due to some issues with his knees, but is said to be fine to play against the Flye...
Sunday, Kimmo Timonen's consecutive game streak ended at 248 games. Fellow defenseman Andrej Meszaros was also ruled out indefinitely with a lower-body injury. James van Riemsdyk was on the shelf for 6-8 weeks with a foot injury.
The Flyers? Well, they made due without.
Philadelphia turned in a playoff-like performance in a 1-0 win over the Capitals in Washington.
How'd they do it? They blocked shots, much-maligned goalie Ilya Bryzgalov was flawless, and the call-up for van Riemsdyk, Eric Wellwood, scored the game's only goal.
For much of the season, the shootout has not been very friendly to the Flyers, especially goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov.
But for one night, the planets aligned for Bryzgalov and the Flyers.
A big blocker stop, a pad stack, and left-handed larceny all came out of Bryzgalov's bag of tricks as he won his first shoot out of the season. It was Matt Read's snipe in round five that capped off the Flyers 5-4 come-from-behind win.
The first half of the game resembled the Flyers heartless outing on Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers; a game in which they dropped 2-0 against one of the weakest teams in the Western Conference.
For over a period and a half of play, the Flyers lacked any type of inspiration. Poor penalty killing, weak play from Bryzgalov and a bad turnover on the power play led to a quick 3-0 lead for the Flames.
The Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Thursday night was one of the team's most complete games of the season.
With all four forward lines operating like a well-oiled machine, the team managed to shell shock a Nashville team that was in the midst of a five-game winning streak.
The standout moments came in the form of Wayne Simmonds' two-goal night, the energy of his line with Brayden Schenn and Zac Rinaldo, and the near flawless play of Ilya Bryzgalov.
However, it can't be understated how important the team's penalty kill was in the game's outcome.
Kimmo Timonen has been around the league for a long time.
In the midst of his 13th season in the NHL, he usually looks forward to the weeklong break that comes every season with the All-Star game.
Any chance for the aging veteran to relax is warmly welcomed.
Unfortunately for Timonen, he won't be able to enjoy that week off this year.

Goalkeeper (GK)
The goalkeeper is simply known as the guy with gloves who keeps the opponents from scoring. He has a special position because only him can play the ball with his hands (provided that he is inside his own penalty area and the ball was not deliberately passed to him by a team mate).
Aside from being the last line of defense, the goalkeeper is the first person in attack. That is why keepers who can make good goal kicks and strategic ball throws to team mates are valuable.
The goalie has four main roles: saving, clearing, directing the defense, and distributing the ball. Saving is the act of preventing the ball from entering the net while clearing means keeping the ball far from the goal area.
The goalkeeper has the role of directing the defense since he is the farthest player at the back and he can see where the defenders should position themselves.
Distributing the ball happens when a goalkeeper decides whether to kick the ball or throw it after making a save. Where the keeper throws or kicks the ball is the first instance of attack.
Some of history's finest goalkeepers are Lev Yashin, Gordon Banks, Dino Zoff, Peter Schmeichel, and Gianluigi Buffon.

Something To Consider About Elite Football (Soccer) Players
June 18, 2014 | 1 Comment » | Topics: Sports |
It's actually insane to conceptualize. I think about the best player I know in my pick up games, who's incredible and has such an insane shot, but he isn't even the best on the school team. Which isn't even the best in our conference. Which is nowhere near the best in our region. Which is nowhere near the best in the nation, and that's not even counting academy teams/club teams. And our nation (usa) is nowhere near the best in the world.
The BEST player we have ever produced is Clint Dempsey–think about that, of all these teams and leagues, he is the very best we have. And how insane is Clint Dempsey's shot when you're not just watching on your television? And I'm not bashing Clint Dempsey, it's just on the world stage he's nowhere near the best, but when you conceptualize it like I just did, he must be absolutely insane, but the level of competition in the world is just even better. We constantly criticize certain defensemen, but think of the insane level of ability to be able to maintain a place in the EPL or la liga. Same goes for attackers. Just crazy to think about. I think about what a challenge it will be to face a certain team in our conference who's undefeated, and then I realize how crazy it must be to look at your schedule and see FC Barcelona.

One of my random actor contracting jobs this year was working for a local medical school, where I played a fake patient. I got to pretend I had an illness and the doctors in training would attempt to respond accordingly. In the past, this has usually meant I pretended to have bulimia or OCD, but the last case I was given was breast cancer. In this case, the medical student had to break the news that I was dying, then pretend to visit me in hospice after. Finding out you are dying is…well…pretty shocking. Even when it's fake. It surprised me actually, how real it felt. Maybe because it's the first time these medical students are having to tell someone something so horrible, but their anxiety spilled over into me emotionally. Tears streamed down my face, thoughts of how my family would cope filled my head. The craziest thing was that the patient was supposed to be my actual age, and it hit me that being a 30-something means that people I know are actually going to die. Not the accidental shocking 20-something deaths that happen in college, when a university student is hit by a car or overdoses on prescription drugs. Horrible as these are, they are abrupt and usually circumstances of a bad environment or situation. So in some ways, they feel less real, or at least less telling of everyday life. Now, however, people are starting to die of illness, of their bodies giving up on them, of life, and from here on out, it's only going to get worse. Hurray!
Just as this was sinking in I got the news I'd be attending my first real funeral. Continue reading

Photography Insurance 101
You know the feeling. The sun is setting exactly as you'd imagined, the couple has finally relaxed to the point of getting natural smiles, and all you need is to move six feet closer for the winning shot. Carefully, you wade into the water, telling yourself that you really didn't like your shoes anyway. It'll all be worth it…until you hit a rock and slide under the water, camera and all.
What now? Since most photographers carry thousands of dollars of equipment, the loss–emotionally and financially–is catastrophic.
What's the answer? In one word: insurance.
Regardless of how long you've been a photographer or what kind of equipment you use, investing in the right type and amount of insurance is essential.
Determine whether or not you are considered amateur or professional. Understand, this is less about skill and more about income. Here's the simple math. If more than 50 percent of your income comes from your photography work, you are professional. With this knowledge, you can quickly assess what type of insurance you need.
Determine what you need to insure. Backdrops and softboxes–although paramount to your production–may cost you more to insure over time than to replace. When deciding what to insure, it is essential to determine an item's replacement cost. If an item costs one hundred dollars, for instance, it wouldn't make sense to pay 10 dollars in insurance every month to cover it. You'd be wiser to put that 10 dollars in the bank for … Read the rest

Investors call on Nintendo to consider iOS releases
Some investors in gaming stalwart Nintendo are growing increasingly concerned with its strategy for the future and are calling for the company to consider smartphone platforms such as iOS as an alternative source of revenue, according to a Bloomberg report. The report states that the company's most recent handheld gaming system, the 3DS, has been a flop thus far, prompting price cuts of 40 percent in Japan and 32 percent in the U.S. and a 82 percent slashing of its profit forecast, and that, combined with the company's refusal to make titles for any products other than its own, has driven the company's stock to six-year lows. "Smartphones are the new battlefield for the gaming industry," said Ohki, a fund manager at Tokyo-based Stats Investment Management Co. "Nintendo should try to either buy its way into this platform or develop something totally new."
As noted in the report, Nintendo shares jumped the most in nearly four months after former Nintendo unit Pokemon Co. said it was developing a game for iOS devices, only to see the gains slip away after Nintendo denied any change in strategy towards outside platforms. "They just don't get it," MF Global FXA Securities Ltd. said in a sales note that day, referring to Nintendo. "Sell the stock, because a management once feted for creative out-of-box thinking have just shown how behind the times they are." While the company's next-generation home console, the Wii U, also met with mixed reactions upon its unveiling, the company does have nearly $14 billion in cash, equivalents, and short-term investments, giving it more strategic options than some competitors.

Just imagine the amount of money Nintendo would make if they released Super Mario Bros., Zelda, Metroid and the classic plethora of Game Boy, SNES and N64 classics on iPhones. They'd make a mint. Sega took the bold step and went cross platform. Maybe it's time Nintendo realised that they're simply not keeping up with the Western gaming climate. Super Mario Bros. at, say, $3 on the app store would sell by the million.

Unless they were in real dire straits Nintendo would never allow their top tier games on hardware not made by Nintendo. Nintendo (like Apple) understand it's the combination of hardware and software which allows them to create the innovative games that people love. It reminds me of the calls for Apple to get out of the hardware business before Steve Jobs came back. For people who say that they would buy Nintendo games in a heartbeat, would you buy new Nintendo games for $40, older Nintendo games for $10-20? When most games on the App Store are $.99 I have some serious doubts.
