On the Strategic Use of Debt and Capacity in Imperfectly Competitive Product Markets
AbstractIn capital intensive industries, firms face complicated multi-stage financing, investment, and production decisions under the watchful eye of existing and potential industry rivals. We consider a two-stage simplification of this environment. In the first stage, an incumbent firm benefits from two first-mover advantages by precommiting to a debt financing policy and a capacity investment policy. In the second stage, the incumbent and a single-stage rival simultaneously choose production levels and realize stochastic profits. We characterize the incumbent's first-stage debt and capacity choices as factors in the production of an intermediate good we call "output deterrence." In our two-factor deterrence model, we show that the incumbent chooses a unique capacity policy and a threshold debt policy to achieve the optimal level of deterrence coinciding with full Stackelberg leadership. When we remove the incumbent's first-mover advantage in capacity, the full Stackelberg level of deterrence is still achievable, albeit with a higher level of debt than the threshold. In contrast, when we remove the incumbent's first-mover advantage in debt, the Stackelberg level of deterrence may no longer be achievable and the incumbent may suffer a dead-weight loss. Evidence on the telecommunications industry shows that firms have increased their leverage in a manner consistent with deterring potential rivals following the 1996 deregulation.

Should zoos be banned
Nowdays, people think about not only human rights but also non-human rights such as animal rights. Many people oppose maintaining zoos because they think that zoos might harm animals and abuse them. However, many others say zoos should not be banned for preventing species from extinction and experience for human. What do you think& why do you think so?
Topics: zoos
Lawren Jones 30+Mar 22 2014: That's a great point, Feyisayo. There are currently about 60 or so species that are extinct in the wild.
Mar 23 2014: Your making excuses for the selfish antics of the human. If animals become extinct, that is nature. Let's not pretend to care about animals, then cage them indefinitely.
If people cared about the animals that are poached, they would also care about the farm animals that are reared, caged and slaughtered for their meat. Just because one animal exists in greater numbers, does not make killing them more justified. If this is your viewpoint, then we can aquate that the zoos are not about caring for the animal, but are about a human being selfish enough to want an animal to exist in substandard conditions so they, and their children, and their childrens children can continue to oggle them.
And, just because there are fewer of one animal does not mean cruelty changes its characteristics to something good. Arguing that extinction is a reason to care about the elephants and lions, then stick them in cages is nothing short of excuse making.
Mar 25 2014: "In order for you to justify zoos you have to resort to pretending you understand animals and what they want. Are you a politician by any chance?"
Here is the only justification needed for zoos. Enough people are willing to pay to attend them to keep them in business, while not subjecting the animals to unreasonable pain or mistreatment.
Frankly, I could not care less what most of the animals want. There are some animals at the upper end of the intelligence, self-awareness end of the spectrum that I am highly concerned about... but most of them, nope.
Mar 24 2014: Zoos shouldn't be banned for many reasons...
1. They provide a shelter for animals preventing them to be attacked by predators.
2. Zoos are the breeding grounds for repopulating an endangered species.
3. Zoos give visitors information and a bit of an education about animals, it helps visitors to realise that animals do need our help and shouldnt be hurt.
There are many more reasons why these animals may be better in zoos but these are just a few simple ones.
Jacob Warren 30+Mar 23 2014: Your question makes me think of the documentary "the Cove" and how dolphins were aquired for places like sea world. While some of the comments below make sense in regards to perserving endangered species, I think there's also the chance that at least in some cases they (zoos and/or parks) are encouraging (by turning a blind eye to how animals are aquired) inhumane practices that further endanger some species.
Mar 24 2014: yes i think zoos should be banned because animals are getting more and more scarce as more species are disappearing and using the excuse that zoos protect the animals from nature is bullshit. they should be protected from poachers only and they should be left to live free in the wild with out human interference because it looks better that way
Mar 22 2014: Zoos should be banned. No animal should be bread in these unnatural conditions and no animal should be pulled from the wild to be controlled and monetised for human insecurities and selfishness.
If Elephants are extinct tomorrow, so be it, that's life. I am more than sure Nelly isn't too worried and would certainly not wish to have its freedoms squashed because some inferior species wants Elephants to look at.
Let's not pretend zoos are caring environments, they're nothing more than torture centres for defenceless animals. I will never visit a zoo.
I imagine those that agree with zoos, also agree with the likes of guantamino bay, a prison with potentially innocent people detained indefinitely. Shame on the lot of yous.
Mar 23 2014: I think it is up to individuals' values.
Some might think that life threatened by their predators is worse than living in an environment which has less freedom but no life threatening circumstances and enough food.
Or some might think in a different way. They might think that freedom of the animal is more important than enough food.
Mar 23 2014: I think many people will give an excuse as to why zoos exist, with your first point being the main one. However we should all think about how we would like to be treated. I know most people would rather live in their natural environment with the threat of an early death and extinction than what they would in a cage.
If you as an individual would not accept the conditions these animals are in, then why should an animal be any different no matter what the threat to their life is.
Nature by definition includes the extinction of animals. Why should we interfere in nature and bring inexcusable harm to animal's for our own gratification?
Mar 23 2014: I actually think that zoos should not be banned and certainly agree with your opinion. I also do think that the conditions of zoos are not much worse than the conditions of the wild.
Many zoos are making animals' shelters just like their inhabits in the wild. However, there are still zoos with old cages and doesn't provide enough space( in our point of view) for the animals.
I wonder if you are thinking that animals in zoos just need space to rest and enough food? or the environment that can reduce their stress and the highest quality of food, which would need much money?
The latter might be considered like personification of animals, and I wonder what do you think.
Mar 24 2014: Humans are nature and within a particular environment it is excusable for a human to behave in a particular way (killing weeds for example), and this way can be seen as nature taking its course. However being an intelegent life form with the ability to understand emotion and good morals, other acts of the human can be seen as unatural, cruel and uneccessary for survival. The Zoo is a premeditated example of animal cruelty which does not help the human to live or survive, its appeal and creation is built around entertainment.
I dont think spraying ants is correct and i wouldn't do it myself, but i can understand human nature extending itself to this behaviour, but again this is about humans protecting their immediate home environment, not premeditating the indefinate incarciration of defenceless animals for entertainment sake.
Mar 24 2014: "I dont think spraying ants is correct and i wouldn't do it myself, "
I don't think this conversation can go anywhere.
"not premeditating the indefinate incarciration of defenceless animals for entertainment sake. "
You say that like it is a bad thing.
The animals may not realize it, because they are too stupid, but most have longer, happier, better lives in captivity than they would have in the wild.
Mar 24 2014: "The animals may not realize it, because they are too stupid, but most have longer, happier, better lives in captivity than they would have in the wild"
In order for you to justify zoos you have to resort to pretending you understand animals and what they want. Are you a politician by any chance?
Mar 19 2014: Be careful with the word "sentient". How it is used in sciFi (intelligent, moral, abstract thought, etc.) is not its actual meaning (capable of sensing its environment... see, hear, feel, taste, etc).
While plants and generally non-sentient, with minor exceptions, even bacteria have some level of sentient.
Mint Thinny
Mar 25 2014: "Q. How many innocent people are there in prison?
A. We will never know for sure, but the few studies that have been done estimate that between 2.3% and 5% of all prisoners in the U.S. are innocent (for context, if just 1% of all prisoners are innocent, that would mean that more than 20,000 innocent people are in prison). " (http://www.innocenceproject.org/Content/How_many_innocent_people_are_there_in_prison.php)
Mint ThinnyMar 25 2014: Thanks Michael. I agree innocent people are imprisoned, however I think we can all agree that this is not a positive thing and it is classified as an injustice.
However what we are doing with animals is different again, as we know they are innocent, yet we still behave unjustifiably towards them. There is no judge and jury, just a one way ticket to indefinite incarceration. That's why in a previous post I made a comparison to the likes of Guantamino bay.

Synopsis: In the early '60s, the West African nation of Mali was under French rule as its people struggled toward independence, and musician Boubacar Traoré became a star in his home country as its people dreamed of political freedom and better lives. Boasting a strong, blues-influenced voice and a hypnotic guitar style, Traoré -- better known as "Kar Kar" -- played music that showed the influence of the newer pop and rock sounds from Europe and the United States, and spoke of love and freedom in equal measure. ...

Junior Dos Santos and the Five Most Impressive UFC Contender Runs in Recent History
Unless you've been locked in a closet for the last week with no internet reception, you're probably aware that the UFC's inaugural event on network television transpires this weekend, headlined by a gargantuan heavyweight showdown between Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos.
A convincing argument could be made for JDS boasting the single most remarkable contender streak in UFC history. If you've failed to be impressed by Junior's seven consecutive triumphs since entering the UFC back in October 2008 — and the level of competition they came against — then you're evidently not a very excitable person. In fact, it's likely that you possess the same stoicism characterised by "Cigano's" adversary this weekend, Señor Velasquez.
You see, unbeaten runs aren't common in the UFC. This isn't the world of boxing, where fighters are fed 20 journeymen before they get thrown to the lions. And that's precisely why the MMA community purrs over such immaculate resumes. So which UFC fighters built up the most impressive win streaks en route to their first title shot? These five come to mind…Read More DIGG THIS

The bartering system is alive and well in the valley. But instead of exchanging goods, members of the hOUR Economy Timebank exchange services that fit their individual skills.
Norm Shafer is a photographer by trade with a talent for editing, but his passion is farming. Anne Buzzelli is a dietician and nutritionist. So how is it that this farmer is helping this nutritionist with some audio issues on a personal project? It's the hOUR Economy Timebank.
Christina Cain, executive director of the Staunton Creative Community Fund, explains the purpose of hOUR Economy. "To help people connect resources and tools and talents available in our community without spending any money," she said.
No money; just time. Members list their skills and talents on the timebank website. They also outline what they might like help with.
"So far I've done photography, pet sitting, weeding," Shafer said.
Shafer, along with his wife, owns and operates Geezer Farm. Two years in, Shafer says farming is a big job, so he has a plan.
"To save as many hours helping other people and then when I need help on the farm I'll be able to put a request out and will be able to get people to come help me plant or weed or shovel mulch or harvest or whatever I need," he said.
And Shafer believes everyone has something to offer.
"It can be as simple as sitting with an elderly neighbor. People have done cooking for other people, house cleaning, chopping wood. Everyone can offer to help their neighbors and that's what the whole hOUR Economy is about is just connecting with your neighbors and helping each other," he said.
hOUR Economy members already have a variety of skills, but they say they would like to see some hair stylists, accountants and mechanics jump on board.

I watched a youtube video last night where they interviewed the helicoptor pilot flying the coptor that crushed Vic Morrow and two children last night. Great score by Goldsmith, but I still have trouble watching that movie with the tragedy that occured, and the horribly directed Kick the Can segment by Spielberg.

Will that score ever get a proper release?

by THE TRUE PINBACK
there are other scores out there that deserve to be released. Here are a few (in no particular order); INNERSPACE THE BLACK HOLE complete editions of all of the STAR TREK film scores YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES (a really good score, but not worth the $300 or more that the out of print INTRADA relases is getting on Ebay these days) BACK TO THE FUTURE Come on, all of you people at labels like Intrada, Film Score Monthly, LaLa Land, Varese Sarabande etc. have proven that you can pull a rabbit out of your hats, so FIND A WAY TO WORK YOUR MAGIC ON THESE!!!

One of Goldsmith's true masterpieces
by Nasty In The Pasty
Each segment has it's own distinct musical character, from the tense, agitated "Time Out" (very similar to the music Goldsmith wrote for the original series, like the ep "The Four Of Us Are Dying") to the gorgeous lyricism of "Kick The Can" (far better than the sappy segment it was written for, maybe the worst thing Spielberg has ever done), to the cartoon horror of "It's A Good Life" to the Stravinsky-esque pulsing heartbeat of "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet". A terrific scre, and what a treat to finally have it complete on CD (the German issue of the old LP program is hard-to-find and expensive). And how nice that FSM also offered the LP sequencing as bonus tracks. Also grab Goldsmith's One Little Indian, a terrific Disney Western score from 1973 that was just released by Intrada.

A guilty pleasure
by Biffs_Pleasure_Paradise
I loved the movie when I was a kid, before I knew of the Vic Morrow tragedy. I admit it's a bit uncomfortable watching it now. The first segment feels choppy abut the last two segments are great in my opinion. I'm glad Goldsmith's score is getting released, I only have some of it which was included on an import of the Gremlins score.
April 15, 2009, 10:12 a.m. CST

I just glanced at that and thought it said "Sung by John Williams". I was like, NO FUCKING WAY.
Apparently I was right.

Nightmare at 20,000 Feet...
by Cellar Door
Goldsmith's score work there is nothing short of genius. That 20 some odd minute vignette is one of my favorite pieces of horror film making. Everybody is spot on and Miller is in his prime. The only thing not a million percent kick ass is no Shatner but then that's true for everything film or not. Your life sucks because there's no Shatner in it. Mine too. But TZT: N@20kF is utterly brilliant on every level.

What an amazing score
by Squinty CGI Flynn
I just listened to bits online. I used to have this on cassette way back in the day. I do agree that they should've put Midnight Special on this, I'm still buying nonetheless.

Once the 'collector's soundtracks" are out of print, the prices to get them skyrocket. Many go for $200 or more. It's like they think that we soundtrack collectors are made of gold or something. And then they wonder why people turn to buying bootlegs of the scores. They must be aware that some of the most wanted scores are available on CD ONLY in bootleg form. Maybe if they made these scores more available then the mnarket for the bootlegs would dissipate.

CD's 'd like to have...
by THE TRUE PINBACK
With the exception of one soundtrack-YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES-the soundtracks I would like to been released on CD yet. In the case of YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES, I would love to own the Intrada 2-disc release, but I don't think paying upwards of $200 for it is a good idea. It just isn't worth it. And Murphy's Law dictates that if I ever break down and pay an exorbitant price like that, right after I do, some label will rerelease it for $20, and I'll be out money I could have spent on something else. Christ, if I knew someone who had it, I'd settle for a CD-R of it. I really think it's sad how some of these so-called "dealers in rare CD's" stick it to collectors with a big smile on their faces. But, I guess that there must be folks out there who can afford to drop that kind of cash on a CD. It goes back to that collectors mentality thing. I've got something you don't have, and if I don't then I can throw out more money for it than you can.

But I guess you have to look at the bright side. If the past is any indication, then most of theses "holy grail" scores will become available sooner or later. In the past ten years or so, look at all of the magnificent music that has become available on CD's. Complete scores to the original STAR WARS trilogy, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, SUPERMAN, E.T., RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, ALIEN, HEAVY METAL, PREDATOR, INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, the LORD OF THE RINGS films, and many others. Hopefully we won't have to wait another ten years to see the scores from BACK TO THE FUTURE, THE BLACK HOLE, the complete scores to the STAR TREK films and others become available.

His musical cues in "Its A Good Life"
by skimn
are nothing short of genius, retaining that Warner Brothers sound while accompanying scenes of menace or panic. Dear Joe Dante used Goldsmith for so much. Too bad he didn't score The Howling...imagine a Goldsmith werewolf score. Bet it would rival Planet Of The Apes.
I used to have old vinyl copies of Bernard Herrmann's score for DePalma's Sisters and Obsession. What I wouldn't give to have pristine copies of those...

We used to get gossip on this site, now we get advertisements for soundtracks? AICN used to print rumors like perezhilton.com, but now all the articles on this site are carefully constructed PR stories that are meant to manipulate you into thinking some movie is "cool". Don't read this site anymore. Have you noticed that Variety is more comprehensive with their industry news than AICN? That's pretty sad. Nowadays, AICN is primarily used to hock soundtracks and drum up buzz for movies the studios are worried you won't see. I'll bet some media corporation like Time Warner bought this site and didn't tell you about it. This site is like Entertainment Tonight.

by DarthCorleone
I want to buy this score, listen to it on my iPod while flying, and then when that violin build ratchets up my insanity to an intolerable level, I'll stand up and yell: "There's a man on the wing of this plane!"

Seriously - that's mixing scenes a little bit, but that's one of my favorite scored moments in movie history.

The reason why so many soundtracks are limited releases...
by Nasty In The Pasty
...is that, sadly, most people don't give a shit about film music. The latest Beyonce or Eminem album is guaranteed to sell millions of copies and downloads, but, aside from a VERY small cross-section of movie fans, who will care about the CD release of Jerry Goldsmith's TZ:TM score, no matter how brilliant it is? Yeah, every once in a blue moon there's a Star Wars or Titanic...the orchestral score that'll sell like gangbusters when the movie is a huge hit and people buy it to relive the movie, but in the DVD age, even that's falling by the wayside. I'd love it if OOP scores like Predator and Ghostbusters stayed in-print forever and I didn't have to scramble and drain my checking account just to grab a copy before they all sold out and some asshole started selling copies on eBay for $200 a pop, but that's the reality of the business.
April 16, 2009, 8:53 p.m. CST
I remember going to the theatre to see this...
by ufoclub1977
I was confused by not getting caught up in the Landis or Spielberg parts (I was young and still thought that the cool movie directors were infallable)... and confused by the Star Trek tv show quality of the Dan Akroyd monster design and sound (I was a child of the wonder of honest true "versimilitude" cool of the 70's not the popular wink wink "retro" cool of today)... but I loved the Dante/Rob Bottin story, and think the Miller one is GREATNESS.

Banish Bra Flab: 3 Exercises!
These exercises will help with strengthening and toning your back. Your back muscles are very important for everyday activities and preventing injuries. You shouldn't have these as your only exercise, but if you work them in twice a week to the routine you already have, you should be getting a good back workout. You will start to notice great differences soon in your posture, strength, and overall weight loss.
Remember, the best exercises for fat loss are the ones that use more than one joint, and work your large muscle groups. These will do that for you!
1. Cable Two-Arm Lat Pulldown
Starting Position
- Extend your arms up and reach for a straight bar with an overhand grip.
- Sit tall with your knees supported under the leg pad, with the knees and hips at a 90-degree angle.
- Arms should be wider than shoulder-width apart with a slight bend in the elbows.
-Relax your shoulders and keep your chest lifted.
- Contracting the upper back muscles, pull the bar down, leading with the elbows stopping when the bar is just above your chest.
- Slowly return to the starting position stopping just short of allowing the weight stack to touch.
Key Points
- Exhale while lifting the weight.
- Inhale while returning to the starting position.
- Do not allow your upper back to round or your chest to cave in.
2. Dumbbell Bent Over Row
Starting Position
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and a slight bend in the knees.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand and bend forward from the hips until the upper body is at about 45 degrees.
- Extend the arms down, keeping your shoulder blades together.
- Contracting the upper back muscles, pull the dumbbells up toward your sides stopping when your upper arm is parallel to the floor. Remember to slightly squeeze the shoulder blades together as you pull up to the contracted position.
- Slowly return to the starting position stopping just short of the arms being fully extending.
Key Points
- Exhale as you lift the weights.
- Inhale while returning to the starting position.
- If you have any discomfort or weakness in your lower back, avoid this exercise.
- Start out with light weights to make sure your lower back can tolerate this position.
*another great point to this exercise is that you DO NOT need equipment. If you do your workouts at home, you can easily add this move to your routine. Start with family sized soup cans as your weights. Once you get better at it, and your strength increases you can move up to pickle jars or jugs of water.
3. Fitball Prone Trunk Extension
Starting Position
- Lie on the ball with your knees on the floor and feet up on the toes.
- Place your fingertips gently on the sides of your head.
- Maintain a neutral spine with head and neck relaxed as a natural extension of the spine.
- Contracting the lower back muscles, raise your chest off the ball slightly.
- Slowly return to the starting position.
Key Points
- Exhale while lifting your body.
- Inhale while returning to the starting position.
- Do not hyperextend your back or overdo the range of motion.
Attempt two to three sets of each exercise for 10 to 12 repetitions on two alternate days of the week and focus on precise form at all times.
Whether it's a sleeveless dress you'll be wearing, tank top or just need that extra strength to pick up your kids and groceries, then focusing on your back muscles is your ticket to success.
As always, check with your doctor before beginning any new exercise program.

Crowdsourcing: Song Lyrics and Twitter Help Chart Public Mood
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Social scientists seeking to assess the collective mood of large groups of people traditionally have relied on slow, laborious sampling methods that usually entail some form of self-reporting.
Peter Dodds and Chris Danforth, mathematicians at the University of Vermont, dreamed up an ingenious way to sample the feelings of many more people much more quickly.
They downloaded the lyrics to 232,000 popular songs composed between 1960 and 2007 and calculated how often emotion-laden words like "love," "hate," "pain" and "baby" occurred in each.
Then they graphed their results, averaging over the emotional valence of individual words. A clearly negative trend emerged over the 47-year period, from bright and happy (think Pat Boone) to dark and depressive (death metal and industrial music come to mind).
The pair has used similar methods to analyze millions of sentences downloaded from blogs, as well as the text of every U.S. State of the Union address and a vast trove of Twitter tweets.
They see distinctive patterns emerging in how collective moods shift over time. The Internet, with its ability to transmit vast amounts of data, is the key.
"People have been trying to take a picture of what's happening on the Web in real time and feed it into essentially another dial, like the Consumer Confidence Index or the gross domestic product," Danforth explains. "That would help decision-makers decide what it is that people are feeling at the moment or how well social programs are working."
Other researchers are onto the same idea. A team at Indiana University has shown that how calm the public mood is — as measured by the language used in millions of 140-character Twitter tweets — accurately predicts how well the stock market will do in the following few days.
Recently, scientists have even shown they could predict movie box office receipts based solely on Twitter chatter and the number of theaters in which a film is showing.
This new field of looking for hidden patterns in vast quantities of text or other user-generated information — variously called "sociotechnical data mining" or "computational social science" — is deceptively simple: just add together the numerical values assigned to various emotionally positive or negative words in a sentence and take their average.
The method starts with established lists of commonly used words that have been ranked according to their emotional valence.
For the song lyrics experiment, Danforth and Dodds used the Affective Norms for English Words list, developed from a 1999 study in which participants graded their reactions to 1,034 words on a 1-9 scale (in which 9 is "happy, pleased, satisfied [and] contented"). On this scale, "triumphant" scores an 8.82, for example, while "suicide" comes in at 1.25.
Song lyrics — which presumably reflect audience taste — were analyzed mostly to prove that the data-mining technique worked, Danforth says. In breaking out the results, he and Dodds also classified lyrics by genres and individual artists. Not surprisingly, gospel music ranked as the genre having the most positive lyrics.
"One of the things that had surprised us was that we had expected rap and hip-hop to be down near the bottom — but it's really not, it's actually sort of in the middle," Danforth says. "It's metal, industrial music and punk at the bottom, at least in the lyrics."
The method may not accurately characterize the meaning of a given text. For example, The Beatles' "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" recounts acts of violence — ( "Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head/Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.") — but most listeners would understand the song's lyrics to be comical. Yet when the technique is applied to thousands of song lyrics, differences in intended meaning tend to average out, Danforth says.

Suzy Ultman Bedding
Land Of Nod
Suzy Ultman has the Midas touch of cute, and her darling prints have hit fabric with a new line of bedding at Land Of Nod.
If Suzy had a fan club we would be charter members (check out previous posts on her prints, stationery and Christmas ornaments), so we were over the moon to see this bedding.
The Amsterdam-inspired "Wooden Shoes Optional" set is available in twin, full and queen, as is the guitar and bongo-bedecked "Dream On" set. Babies can get in on the action with Suzy's gender-neutral "How About Them Apples" crib bedding. All available at Land Of Nod.

I designed the 2011-2012 University of Winnipeg agenda cover. The first photo is the cover they went with. The next two are other color versions and after that is an alternate illustration that would have been a totally different looking cover. After that is a photo of the cover in the real world.

IOWA (WHAS11) -- An Iowa police officer is lucky to be alive after a freak accident during a traffic stop.
Check out the video caught on the officer's dash cam.
The 30-foot oak tree came crashing down on top of him.
The officer said it felt like being swatted by a giant fly swatter, but lucky for him, he walked away with only minor scrapes and bruises.
The officer wasn't the only lucky one of the night, either. The driver of the vehicle said that likely saved him from getting a ticket.

Not that we're any better in the ideas department (see: right), but Tyler Bleszinski (President of SportsBlogNation, older brother to Cliff) is stating the obvious a bit too loudly for our liking. Publishers can turn a larger profit with a mini-game fiesta for Wii with significantly less development time than games for the "hardcore" audience? Do you not realize they are listening?
Invited to the floor by one N'Gai Croal, Bleszinski weaves a tale that we've seen plenty of times, but not so much recently now that the Wii is really picking up steam. Anecdotal evidence of gaming grannies plunking down cash for games like Cooking Mama and Wii Play, instilling fear of the casual market crushing our beloved past time.
While he makes it clear that he doesn't believe bringing new gamers to the fold is bad, or that games designed for the core players will die out, he does believe that the former can not become the latter. Let's face it: your grandpa playing Wii Bowling is not going to lead him into playing Gears of War or The Legend of Zelda anytime soon.

Stock Report For Week Ended August 8, 2014
Smaller-caps outperform in volatile week
Stocks registered gains for the week, with small- and mid-caps outperforming large-caps. The major indexes were volatile as investors reacted to political turmoil overseas, and as relatively light trading volumes accentuated price swings.
Ukraine worries weigh on sentiment
Markets got off to a positive start on Monday, recovering a portion of their sharp losses from the end of last week. Sentiment quickly reversed, however, sending the markets sharply lower on Tuesday. The causes of the reversal were murky, but heightened worries over the situation in Ukraine may have been partly to blame. Indeed, on Wednesday, the Russian government announced that it was banning food imports from the U.S. and European countries in retaliation to sanctions imposed by the West.
Eurozone worries continue
While most experts anticipated the bans to have only a minimal direct impact on European economies—and an even smaller one on the U.S.—new worries arose during the week about the overall health of the eurozone. Figures released Wednesday showed that Italy had lapsed back into recession for the third time in recent years. German manufacturing orders also declined sharply, which some observers traced to heightened caution due to the Ukraine crisis. An index of manufacturing activity in Germany showed a slight increase in July, however.
Markets end week on positive tone
Some reassuring news on Ukraine helped markets end the week on a more positive note. On Friday morning, a Russian news agency reported that Russian officials were prepared to mediate in talks between the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian separatists, and Russian officials announced later in the day that they were ending military exercises along the border. These developments coincided with news of limited U.S. air strikes in Iraq, which investors seemed to take largely in stride.
Good news on productivity
Encouraging news on the U.S. economy may have also played a part in the late rally. The Labor Department reported a surprisingly large rise in labor productivity in the second quarter, along with a remarkably small rise in unit labor costs. The data may have eased the concerns of some investors, who interpreted hints of rising wage costs in recent weeks to mean that the Federal Reserve might act sooner than expected to head off any inflationary pressures by raising short-term interest rates.

ASHLEE SIMPSON has officially moved on and is now dating actor VINCENT PIAZZA, according to the latest celebrity news. And we thought there was a chance she'd get back with ex-hubby PETE WENTZ…
Ashlee and Vincent were spotted yesterday in NYC enjoying a nice daytime stroll—and a bit of making out, too.
Obviously there's no longer a chance of reconciliation between Ashlee and Pete, though for a while rumors were flying around that they had gotten back together after being seen out on the town a few times with their son, Bronx Mowgli.
Ashlee and Pete filed for divorce last February after almost three years of marriage.
What do you guys think of Ashlee's new main squeeze?

*THIS ACCOUNT IS NO LONGER POSTING* こんにちは!! 私はロリータちゃん✝❤ Greetings! I call myself Lolita ✝❤ I am a writer of horror and paranormal fiction | I'm far from perfect | My existence is a contradiction of itself | For as long as I can remember, I've been creating worlds in my head | Writing is one of the few constants in my life | I am a believe that life imitates art | I am a walking oxymoron | I can be extremely morbid, so beware | All my works are from the deepest, most perverse part of my mind—the place ALL good stories spawn from | I have an intense love for history and cemeteries that has existed since I was a girl | Music is my release, reading is my escape, writing is my gift | I'm on the dark-side | In my oppinion, nothing will ever be able to surpass the gorgeously intricate literature (or everything!) post 1960's | Talk to me if you want to learn about the REAL me, not the writer behind her words… I write to escape life; I am haunted by humans. "Crazy usually implies that a false reality is being accepted by the brain as being 'real'. The trouble with me is that, even in the sober light of day, I cannot say these realities to be false." – Emilie Autumn Liddel, The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls "I want to forget! Who would choose to be alone, imprisoned by their broken memories? ... Is it mad to pray for better hallucinations? ... My Wonderland is shattered. It's dead to me." -- Alice Liddel, Alice: Madness Returns "Who are you? Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies? Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them? I have. I am fucking crazy. But I am free." -- Lana Del Rey "I've got quite a vivid imagination and I'm easily overwhelmed by sensations and things that are beautiful or scary.

CARBETAPENTANE; PHENYLEPHRINE; PYRILAMINE (kar bay ta PEN tane; fen il EF rin; peer ILL a meen) is a combination of a cough suppressant, a decongestant, and an antihistamine. It is used to relieve cough due to asthma, bronchitis, and a cold. This medicine will not treat an infection.
This medicine may be used for other purposes; ask your health care provider or pharmacist if you have questions.
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
difficulty passing urine
heart disease
high blood pressure
if you have taken an MAOI like Carbex, Eldepryl, Marplan, Nardil, or Parnate in last 14 days
thyroid disease
an unusual or allergic reaction to carbetapentane, phenylephrine, pyrilamine, aspirin, tartrazine, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
pregnant or trying to get pregnant
Take this medicine by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Shake well before use. Use a specially marked spoon or container to measure each dose. Ask your pharmacist if you do not have one. Household spoons are not accurate. Take your medicine at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed.
Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. While this drug may be prescribed for children as young as 2 years old for selected conditions, precautions do apply.
Patients over 65 years old may have a stronger reaction and need a smaller dose.
Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of this medicine contact a poison control center or emergency room at once.
NOTE: This medicine is only for you. Do not share this medicine with others.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
Do not take this medicine with any of the following medications:

This medicine may also interact with the following medications:
medicines for anxiety or sleep
medicines for chest pain, heart disease, high blood pressure, or heart rhythm problems
medicines that cause drowsiness
other medicines for allergies or colds
This list may not describe all possible interactions. Give your health care provider a list of all the medicines, herbs, non-prescription drugs, or dietary supplements you use. Also tell them if you smoke, drink alcohol, or use illegal drugs. Some items may interact with your medicine.
Tell your doctor or health care professional if your symptoms do not start to get better or if they get worse.
You may get drowsy or dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how this medicine affects you. Do not stand or sit up quickly, especially if you are an older patient. This reduces the risk of dizzy or fainting spells. Alcohol may interfere with the effect of this medicine. Avoid alcoholic drinks.

allergic reactions like skin rash, itching or hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue
breathing problems
confusion, excitability, or nervousness

Further studio work with Maria Nepomuceno at Turner Contemporary in Margate.
Today at the studio group for Maria Nepomuceno's sculpture, we did more work using rope. It was great to get into the rhythm of stitching and to see the components grow.
The top three pictures show the piece I was working on today, the bottom three show other components. I plan to attend another session the week after next. Really enjoying being a part of this group!
I was delighted that Maria bought a pegloom from me to take back to Brazil with her!
