Jasper Cragwell takes leadership role as director of M/MLA
On July 1, Associate Professor Jasper (Jack) Cragwall, Department of English, became the new Executive Director of the Midwest Modern Language Association. Dr. Cragwall replaced Loyola professor of Modern Languages & Literatures David Posner as the new director of this dynamic organization. Dr. Cragwell received his PhD from Princeton University in 2007 and has recently written the forthcoming Lake Methodism: Polite Literature and Popular Religion in England, 1780-1830 (coming in September from The Ohio State University Press).
The Midwest Modern Language Association (M/MLA) is the regional affiliate of the nationwide Modern Language Association. By providing the institutional home for the M/MLA, Loyola demonstrates its deep commitment to the study of the Humanities. In an increasingly specialized and stratified academic world, the M/MLA is a very rare thing; it is one of the only organizations composed of scholars and teachers of every language and literature at all professional ranks.
The M/MLA strengthens the study of language and literature by hosting an annual meeting of hundreds of scholars with different approaches to their work, publishing two semi-annual issues of the Journal of the Midwest Modern Language Association, and providing a forum for teachers and scholars to disseminate an extraordinarily diverse array of information and ideas. The publications and events sponsored by the M/MLA are thus intellectually stimulating and varied—they publish some of the most exciting new work in Shakespeare studies alongside some of the best new work on twentieth-century Nigerian literature.
With the 55th annual conference scheduled for November 7-10 in Milwaukee, WI, this is an exciting time for Dr. Cragwall to step in as Executive Director of this professional organization. Through this appointment, Loyola's partnership with the M/MLA will continue to foster professional development in the Humanities.

I recently found out the mother of my child is now a lesbian and living with her girlfriend. I don't have an issue with that totally because that's her business. However, I do have an issue with my daughter being around that. Her girlfriend dresses and act's like a man.This confuses my daughter so much she ask so many questions that an 8 year old shouldn't have to concern her self with. She even has my daughter calling this woman MR.I've expressed my issue to her and let her know how I feel and left it at that, because ultimately I can't do anything about it.

Tajikistan ready for coming of new foreign banks, says Tajik central bank head
DUSHANBE, January 23, 2013, Asia-Plus -- In connection with Tajikistan's admission to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the number of branches of foreign banks may increase in Tajikistan, Abdujabbor Shirinov, Chairman of the National Bank of Tajikistan (NBT), announced at a news conference in Dushanbe on January 22.
According to him, Tajikistan is ready for coming of new foreign banks and opening of branches of new foreign banks will not affect the country's banking system and activities of local banks.
"The coming of new banks will mean that that they trust our country and it will be a good experience for our banks because there will be a professional competition," said Shirinov, "Representative offices and branches of six foreign banks now function in Tajikistan."
142 credit organizations, including 16 banks and 299 their branches, two non-bank financial institutions and 124 microfinance organizations now function in Tajikistan, Tajik central bank head noted.
A branch of the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) opened in Tajikistan last year.

Kate Middleton is undergoing hypnotherapy to help regain her appetite, a friend says.
The Duchess of Cambridge, carrying her and Prince William's first child, is suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a very severe form of morning sickness.
Her friend Jessica Hay has revealed the unusual method the mother-to-be is employing in order to restore a healthy relationship with food.
"[She] still looks at food and feels nauseous," Hay told Australia's New Idea magazine.
"[She has] that feeling you have when you've had food poisoning and your stomach's shrunk... [She's using hypnotherapy] in a bid to help with her appetite."
Hay said the therapy was working and Middleton was snacking on wholesome treats such as avocados, broccoli, oatmeal and smoothies.
"She finds it very hard to eat a full meal and gets full very quickly," her friend continued.
"The hypnotherapy is taking away any negative thoughts connected with food from the morning sickness and replacing them with cravings for healthy, nutritious food."
The pretty royal has been looking well lately, even enjoying a night at an acrobatics show for her birthday earlier this month.
Hay said the support of those close to her had helped Middleton cope with the extreme sickness.
"All in all, she's very happy," she said. "With so much family around her and William, they're starting to enjoy the pregnancy after such a traumatic start."

The Killing refuses to die. The AMC drama was canceled after its second season, then miraculously revived for a third — then canceled again, and then miraculously revived for a Netflix-exclusive fourth season.
But if that whole chain of events sounds as implausible as, say, an episode of The Killing, allow us to provide you with the evidence: A few early photos from the fourth season, which were posted to the The Killing's official Instagram page. Here are the highlights, including a special message from Mireille Enos (Sarah Linden):
For what it's worth, Netflix is billing this as "the final season" in advance, so maybe this really is the end of The Killing (but you should probably maintain a healthy skepticism anyway).- -

great beachfront location. really private. loved it! will.definitely go back. you need to make sure your cabina is facing the ocean because ours wasn't. it was on the back side of the ocean front rooms.
make sure you request a room facing the ocean
staff ,food, ocean and air condtioner
getting to hotel
The beach
far from san Juan sur (an half hour by taxi, more than 1,5 hour by foot); the cost of any rent (bike, quad, ecc) is not available or expensive.
I really enjoyed this location. It was amazing waking up each morning to the sound of the waves crashing and the beauty of the beach. The sand is only steps away from the room. There is a pool and the room rate includes breakfast that was delicious! It's a little ways from the main city San Juan Del Sur but it's great because it's like your private beach!
Bring some extra cash for taxi rides to the city but with the room rate so low it's affordable and definitely worth staying here. Great for relaxation and couples.
Breakfast was very delicious, the beach not crowded, very peaceful, staff very helpful. This place was one of the best in Nicaragua that I have seen. Looking forward to go back.
About 10 km of dirt and bumpy road to get there
The beach
The room was dirty, The bathroom also. There is no way to get to San juan but The taxi that charge you 20 dollars. Nice beach
The location of place was amazing. Beach front, you really can't ask for more. We stayed in the villa the views are breath taking. And it was nice to have air conditioning in the bedroom.
The back roads to get there are awful. It had rain previously before we got there so getting to the resort was a nightmare. If you go there I would suggest going in an SUV. We drove a Toyota Corolla, never again! There really isn't much there. But the views make up for it. The shower times wouldn't have any water. There was a small little stream that came out and we had 5 people so it was a little annoying shower with the small small stream. There isn't much of a variety for food but we weren't picky so it wasn't much of the problem.
Beautiful beach and secluded location. Friendly and helpful staff. Really recommend this resort as staff are excellent and the cabanas are very well positioned right on the beach front. Awesome rugged beach right at your doorstep and very quiet and relaxing time to be had lazing on your front porch in the mornings and afternoons with fulll view of a spectacular beach.
20 dollars to get into San Juan del Sur in a taxi so return to resort is 40 dollars. Having your own vehicle would be reccommended. Limited places to eat as it is so expensive to leave the resort.
The beach is amazing! The bar and restaurant were also good. Definitely worth a day visit.
The rooms are awful. And we tried both the outer cabins and the closer-in rooms. They were both very noisy with all the other guests sounding like they were inside the room with you. If you don't care about warm AC and bugs maybe this place will be fine for you. Oh, unless the smell of the septic tank filling up the bathrooms bothers you too. It did me, so we left.
The beach, the food
Broken windows, broken pool table, tv didn't work, wasps inside the cabana, broken fridge door
incredible location right on the beach, price ok, staff friendly, availability to use kayaks, close to madeira beach (3km)
food/breakfast ok, no waves and thus no use for surfboards at this beach, air-condition
The place was quite and clean. The staff was fantastic, they readily answered questions about anything and everything. If you are looking for a more private beach this is definately the place to go. Less populated but with easy access to multiple restaurants and one more populated surfing beach and another beach on either side.
The views were spectacular and the staff was so friendly.
I was not able to get the last two days of my trip in an ac room so I ended up going to another place in San Juan Del Sur
There's nothing like staying right on a beautiful, sparsely populated beach. It was great to be able to walk from our cottage to the dining room for breakfast. We also rented a kayak. Overall, we really liked it there.
Water is brackish so doesn't taste good. Electricity was out for part of one day, but it wasn't too problematic. They weren't sure if I had paid for the 2 nights so I paid just in case. I hope I didn't pay twice.

Chris Brown is the latest star to have police descend on his house following a "swatting" prank.
According to the Los Angeles Times, authorities were called to the singer's home after a call was made reporting domestic violence at the residence. Police told the paper that the caller said he was not sure if Brown's mother had been shot.
When police arrived to the singer's Los Angeles area home, only members of Brown's staff were home and the singer was not present.
Recent "swatting" pranks have been pulled on Tom Cruise, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Ashton Kutcher.
Just last week, the Kardashian-Jenner clan became a victim of celebrity "swatting" after a prank caller told 911 operators there had been a shooting at the family compound — and Kim Kardashian was none too pleased with the hoax.
"Just got a call from my mom telling me about this prank call that someone was shot in their home & 15 swat team & 3 helicopters showed up!" the mom-to-be Tweeted on Friday night.
"These prank calls are NOT funny! People can get arrested for this!" she added. "I hope they find out who is behind this. It's dangerous & not a joke!"

Hump Day Happy Hour
A Rockin' Cocktail for New Year's EveBy Julie Fishman
The first ten years of the new century brought us the iPod, American Idol, Facebook, Harry Potter and our first black president. In addition, we survived Y2K, Pluto's lost planet status and Tiger Woods' player status. Quite the eventful decade.
Both bitter and sweet, the "Champagne Cocktail" is much like the end of one year and the start of another. Recreated for Glo by Trudy Thomas, the drink dates back to the 1850s, when it was almost exclusively a swig for the wealthy. Now affordable for the average Jane, you'll feel perfectly posh with this sparkling spirit in hand.
Even if your 2011 resolution is to drink less alcohol, we recommend fitting in a few glasses of "Champagne Cocktail" before the ball drops. It's simply too delicious to deny … so much so that after a taste you may rethink that resolution.
"Champagne Cocktail"
1 sugar cube
2- 3 drops of Angostura Bitters
¼ oz Navan Vanilla Cognac
4 oz Gruet Brut NV Sparkling Wine
Directions: Muddle the sugar cube and bitters in a shaker. Add the cognac and then transfer to a flute. Carefully fill to the top with champagne.
Trudy Thomas is a bartender at BLT Steak Camelback in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Denton, TX (Sports Network) - George Fant and Jamal Crook each scored 14 points as the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers outlasted the North Texas Mean Green, 70-59, in a Sun Belt Conference battle at The Super Pit.
Brandon Harris added 10 points on 3-of-5 from 3-point range for WKU (13-11, 7-6 Sun Belt), which has won back-to-back games on the heels of three straight losses.
For North Texas (8-17, 3-11), Alzee Williams scored 17 points, Jordan Williams had 15 points, Tony Mitchell tallied 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Roger Franklin netted 12 points. The other four players to take the floor for the Mean Green combined for just one point.
Neither team shot greater than 40 percent from the field in the first half, but WKU took a 27-24 lead into intermission by shooting 3-of-9 from 3-point range.
The Hilltoppers pulled away after the break by making 50 percent of their field goal attempts in the final 20 minutes, while North Texas shot only 11- of-36 (.306) in the second half.
WKU held on to win despite shooting only 9-of-13 from the foul line.

Review: Samsung Series 5 Ultra Touch Ultrabook
>Given the glacial uptake I can't help but think the major laptop makers are missing a trick in not offering a pre installed viable alternative to Windows 8
Well, the jury is out on the cause for this slow uptake of new laptops...
Many people don't like the look of Windows 8
Other folk are in no rush, and are so happy to wait to see how their friends get on with Win 8 over a longer period of time, or if Microsoft release a 'service pack' that makes it more to their liking. They might even be waiting to see how Chromebooks develop before recommending one to a family member.
At the the same time, many people already own a computer that serves their purposes perfectly well.
Some people are finding that for their purposes, a tablet is good enough.
Some other people are feeling skint.
Re: Caps Lock?
I was almost tempted to cannibalise an external USB keyboard to create a 'Caps-Lock Indicator USB Dongle', but I didn't bother in the end!
Re: Caps Lock?
My mother had a Toshiba laptop that had no Caps-Lock indicator, and its absence annoyed the hell out of her. I really don't know what the designers were thinking. There is some software available that will place a Caps Lock indicator in your Windows Taskbar, but in the end she just bought a new laptop.
On a more general note, the Caps-Lock key is overly large given how infrequently it is used... all the other larger keys on my keyboard, such as Space, Return, Enter, Shift, Backspace etc are used very often indeed. I really wouldn't mind if Caps-Lock was relegated to a small key above Esc.
(In a mail room in which I used to work, there was a PC with one function- using a DOS-based piece of software to generate and print courier labels... it was a very fast, keyboard-only interface - unless I accidentally hit the 'Insert' key. Eventually I prised the offending key out of the keyboard and Sellotaped it to the keyboard. It is not only software that can be tailored to suit the user!)

That's an issue for longer trips, but many people's commutes are shorter than the current range. For longer journeys, a small diesel car is suitable - and diesels are more efficient on long journeys anyway.
The Tomorrow People jaunt back to the airwaves
Re: Jaunting?
I enjoyed "The Demolished Man", but I must have been sleepy when I got to the last chapter - I felt like I missed something in the ending. I should give it another go.
Again, it is set in a near-future in which society has adjusted to many people having psychic powers.
Re: Jaunting?
Curiously for Sci-Fi that concerns itself with 'the next step in human/sentient entity evolution', The Stars My Destination is set in a world where everybody has developed the ability to teleport themselves, and society has adjusted to this. In the book, everybody can 'jaunt', within a certain distance (so spaceships are still required) and that they know where there are going. As a consequence, terrestrial vehicles are toys not necessities, and rich people use labyrinths to protect their privacy.
Alfred Bester's short stories also explore consequences of people possessing powers they don't understand, in a serious way... I can't help but think his experience as a sports writer (young people gifted with 'special' physical abilities, etc) influenced his subject matter.
Well recommended.
Phones for the elderly: Testers wanted for senior service
Big buttons
The following link is for a big buttoned flip phone, with fairly large spaces between the keys. I am not recommending it purely because I haven't owned or used it - but the dummy unit I picked up in a shop suggests that it might be worthy of further consideration for people who claim to have 'sausage fingers':
Re: Concierge?
My first thoughts were of that Vertu service, too.... specifically, how does Mr Rockwell deal with 'mission creep'? Once could imagine people ringing up to have text messages sent to relatives, but also to have tickets booked on their behalf, the weather forecast read to them, or £20 put on a horse...
I would imagine that to begin with, he'll want to avoid the headache of keeping payment details secure, and avoid the negative publicity that might come from 'offering exclusive deals to our clients".
Re charging
Good point - I'm in my thirties and I find microUSB connectors a bit of a faff. I know that they are D shaped, but still I need to look closely to work out which way I need to plug them in.
MicroUSB requires both good eyesight and digital (as in fingers) dexterity. I haven't used the iPhone 'Lightening' connector, but it would appear to be a better design than microUSB - unidirectional, and rounded edges (unlike the sharp edges of stamped metal found on USB)
Purely for charging, an old 'Nokia charger' plug is nice and easy to insert. I haven't used any wireless charging solution, but assume that it would be a good feature for this market.
>What a dumb idea. Seriously dumb, not to mention insulting to your target market.
By definition, his target market don't read The Register. A significant percentage of our older population have never been on-line- something that has implications for government services and ultility companies that only offer their best rates to on-line customers.
>Being a senior citizen doesn't mean you suddenly become dumb as a brick, what it is likely to mean is impared eye-sight and/or hearing.
Ageing affects people differently. Most people will suffer poorer eyesight at some point - and for those, a conventional flip-phone with large buttons will be the good solution, or perhaps one of the phones designed for the elderly market
However, some of us might develop chronic arthritis, or perhaps one of the many forms of Alzheimer's, to one degree or another. Many studies suggest that if people with Alzheimer's are surrounded by the trappings of their youth - interior decor, music etc* - they are happier and less likely to be confused, so replicating the familiar 'Hello operator, please connect me to...' experience of their youth is a good idea.
*There is a elderly care home /community in Holland, I believe, with an entire street set out as it might have been several decades ago. The shops are real, but with products and layouts reminiscent of the 1950s, and is used by members of the public and not just residents. Should a resident have a funny five minues and wander out of a shop without paying it is no problem, the shop keeper just makes a friendly phone call to a carer.

'Catastrophic failure' of 3D-printed gun in Oz Police test
Re: Wait for the first "hacked" printable gun
>The same as we shouldn't trust open source software?
My understanding that, is with sufficient knowledge and time, you can examine open-source software and determine that it does what it is says it will do. (though I remember a commentard once saying malicious code can be hidden - whatever, its a bit beyond me)
To test whether plans for a physical object will perform as planned is very very hard to do virtually. It would require simulation of the explosion -high pressures and temperatures, fluid dynamics- and FMEA of the printed parts, all at the same time (mechanical properties of the parts change with temperature)... complex doesn't begin to describe it. Ultimately, you would have to 'print' a large batch and test them in the real world.
All the simulation software I've seen come with the disclaimer - "This software is designed to reduce testing, not replace it" - ie, its aim is to rule out the more unlikely designs, so one can prototype and test the more promising designs in the real world.
Re: Not a hivemind
>from this admittedly small sample has shown that the chances of such a gun not working as intended is one in two,
Hopefully that at least might deter some would-be killers from trying to use one... until someone releases 3D printing blueprints for a really good prosthetic hand!
Re: "The point is it has now been shown these things deliver a bullet with lethal speed. "
I get the impression people are too taken by the 'just Ctrl-P to print a gun', when it isn't the most suitable process for the job. This goes for quite a few other '3D printing' applications, too.
Just watching the way this printed 'gun' disintegrates in the video illustrates the inherent weakness in having a round hole in a series of strata... that much at least will be familiar to anyone who has worked with wood, which is also has a 'grain'.
There are some ways of achieving a concentric 'grain' structure around the chamber and barrel (I'm thinking more of stopping someone from losing their fingers, rather than helping them shoot somebody) of this 'gun' without any special tools... it's just that deposition-based additive manufacturing isn't the way to do it.

Thank you for bringing these stream-compression services to our attention!
Re: Why when Radio is already free?
>What's so bad about DAB?
- Batteries in portable DAB radios don't last very long
-The codec used in DAB doesn't sound very nice
-In areas of poorer reception, the sound of DAB breaks up in a way that is more unpleasant than poor FM
- It is fragmented across countries
- The price of DAB receivers has never come anywhere close to that of FM radios.
Since current DAB adoption is currently poor, we may as well skip it and adopt streaming of radio content: The sound quality can be better, and it offers thousands of stations, not just dozens. We are not all at that stage yet, but we might be close in a few years.
Re: Another retarded music service begging for an audience, fools and their money...
>Why not provide REAL VALUE and offer a straight 3G/4G INTERNET CONNECTION with no roaming or data rate charges that would let you use multiple streaming services AND have in car WIFI hotspot capability, telephony, etc etc etc??????????
Because that would impact on sales of traditional phone-based data tariffs. What makes this deal acceptable to Vodaphone is that it is tied to one specific service- the customer will still be paying a separate bill to Vodaphone (or a competing network) for their phone's data allowance for email and internet browsing etc.
>Nooooo, that would make too much sense. As to "digital radio" again this is ONLY a plot to take away simple terrestrial radio, let's take a mature product, put a new name on it, fuck up the signal quality so it sucks so bad we can sell them on shit that works even worse.
Which is exactly why I welcome this product as a step in the right direction - with luck, music streaming will, in time, render DAB obsolete, and maybe we will be allowed to keep FM. I like FM, the equipment is reliable and batteries in a portable radio last for weeks.
Re: WOW
>Only those for whom '(money > sense) == true', methinks.
Maybe, but then they have already paid thousands of pounds more for a car than they strictly have to... so one assumes they won't miss the money. Then imagine how much they have spent on their home HiFi system...
I f paying a couple of hundred for DAB and getting a few dozen more stations (not necessarily in your language or to your taste) is justifiable, how is then spending an extra few hundred for hundreds of streamed stations a sign of idiocy?
(My car- not a BMW- is the one with the the £50 Lidl stereo, featuring an SD card and USB port, line in, FM radio and CD player - the latter never used. Loads of albums on the SD card, the USB socket is ideal for charging my phone since the fag lighter socket is playing up. Line in for when I really want to stream a podcast from my phone. Sorry - I just wanted to mention something that was modestly priced, useful and good at what it does)
>great idea, one small problem. how is a flat fee of £300 going to pay for the costs to BMW? The roaming charges alone for a days use would be more than that.
From the article:
"What's unusual and interesting about the deal is that it includes 3G access to the music - via Vodafone's mobile network - across Europe"
So, one assumes that BMW have made a deal with Vodaphone... and Vodaphone would rather make some money from this system than make no money at all (which is what would happen if they insisted on their usual roaming fees - since nobody would then bother with it). Since it is tied to one service (music) it is not 'cannibalising' the data tariffs they sell for phones.
Re: Why when Radio is already free?
>I just dont get it. Any data dongle can stilll do that and beam it into the stereo system !
Answered in the article:
"you can get Rara's music catalogue and playlists, without any extra charges - particularly roaming charges - or extra cables or devices. "
If you used a dongle without being careful, you could arrive home to a massive roaming phone bill. Whilst you can stream to your car stereo with extra devices, it is not as convenient as having it integrated with the car - both for ease of use (safety) and connection to the car's aerial.
I've been hoping that this is the way things are going - so we can all forget about DAB.

I've had a 200m Gshock repaired under warranty following a high fall onto concrete - when I got it back the strap was mouldy because they had pressure-tested the waterproofing after making the repairs, but not dried it out afterwards. I'm not sure that the watch battery shop on the high street does that! (Casio did replace the strap, too)
Re: Wrist-based technology needs two hands ...
Um, you don't have to let go of whatever your left hand is holding just because your right hand touches your left wrist. Or vice versa.
You don't have to touch your watch to read it.
Tiny buttons? The rotating bezel (a method of user input) on my watch is larger than any buttons found on my phone- and is a far quicker and convenient way of reminding myself when to take my dinner out of the oven than using a phone timer. There are other ways a watch could accept user input, too - such as shaking it or tapping the watch face.
Re: Why bother?
>How many hands do you need to use a watch?
Zero, if you are just glancing at it to see what a notification is.
>How many hands do you need to use a phone?
One, usually, but it has to retrieved from a safe place - a pocket or bag - and returned there when finished.
>If you are standing on a train/bus or holding a cup of coffee - you cannot use a smart watch
Fair enough, on the occasions that it is easier to use your phone, you can still use your phone. That doesn't mean that the phone will always be the easiest option - a cyclist would find easier to tell the time from a wristwatch than they would by pulling a phone from their pocket, locating the screen lock button to display the time and then returning the phone to their pocket.
>A smart watch is not as smart as a Rolex for example, in fact it is rather untidy in comparison
Fair enough - though I'm not Rolex's biggest fan, I think a useful smartwatch could be made that doesn't draw attention to itself. I'm thinking of that Tissot Touch watch, when tapping 3 o'clock made its hands rotate to indicate altitude, touching 6 o'clock made them act as a compass, 9 o'clock a thermometer etc... its appearance gave no clue as to its extra functions- it looked like any other analogue watch.

Re: For people who knew no better
When I was still in primary school, the classroom a single Archimedes, a few of the lads had Amigas for games, my mate's dad, a hippy musical technology lecturer, had an Atari ST (and a MIDI guitar), and another friend's dad, a graphic designer, had a Mac. There was of course still a smattering of Spectrums, Vic 20s, C64s, Acorns, and a few 8 bit consoles.
Me? I had an 8086 Olivetti with no sound or game port! Still, over the next ten years I learnt quite a bit just getting it and its successors to play games... and eventually the games (X-Wing, Doom, System Shock, many more) came.

Re: XBox One vs PS4
Thanks for a clear, concise post.

Re: A behind the scenes look...
> Can't help but feel MS is putting too much emphasis on Xbox Live and not on Gaming itself.
For many gamers, it is all about the online multiplayer gaming. And those gamers pay, in the form of an Xbox Live Gold subscription. On those points, I would say that sorting out issues with XBOX Live (lag cheaters etc) is absolutely central to what MS are offering.
The games? Those are for the 3rd party developers to work out, not MS.

>This console brings nothing new to the table, and if anything tries to hide the fact that it lacks anything new by drowning out the terrible console with added microsoft bloat.
One man's bloat is another man's features. Certainly the PS3 was always a more useful general purpose machine than the Xbox 360 (the Sony gave you Blu-Ray, fairly quiet operation, WiFi for media playback, iPlayer etc) so MS would be daft not to move in that direction.
For me, the striking thing is how similar Sony and MS's next gen offerings are- so I suspect it will be the details of implementation and polish that clinch it. Either that, or people are beyond caring which platform they adopt, and the 3rd party studios will benefit.
Re: Thats all we need
>More losers "pwning" people. FYI, nobody cares about you playing your game.
So you missed the news story this week about Nintendo trying to reclaim users' 'walk through' videos as a revenue stream? Do try and pay attention!
Re: Sir
>once upon a time it was all about the launch games :)
Yep. since before the Mario and Sonic days...
It used to be so, but at the launch of the PS3 Sony didn't seem to bother- I can't recall any big PS franchises making much of a splash. Now that this new Xbox and the PS4 have similar hardware (so more likely to share AAA 3rd party games), it might be less about the 'title exclusives' and more about the details... clearly MS have done well to recognise that Online Multiplayer could be better, which is but the first step to fixing it. d
Oh, and screw MS's Halo franchise - Bungie's 'Destiny' (available on both next gen platforms) is where its going to be at.

I think people's only problem with the man's character is that he doesn't allow a fair scientific experiment, even one which doesn't require peeking inside the box.

Yeah, I understand that he hinted on a radio interview that his family knew.
Just how rich did he want to be out of it? It seems he spent decades turning down millions of pounds for the hope of billions. He must have been very confident that nobody else would stumble across the formula whilst he was sitting on it.
If it existed, it is baffling that it hasn't been replicated. If it didn't exist, it is baffling that the military labs said it worked. One doesn't really want to suggest that it works and the military really know the formula, nor suggest that it didn't work and the military had their own reasons for saying otherwise.
Odd, odd, odd.
Re: Lost inventions
That really is an odd one... I remembered the demonstration on Tomorrow's World, and the military seem to think it works...
About 18 months after the Tomorrow's World appearance, Ward finally agreed to let Lewis run a series of tests, on condition that he wouldn't analyse Starlite's ingredients. The first thing Lewis and his colleagues did was fire powerful laser pulses at the material. There was little damage, despite the fact that each pulse contained 100 millijoules of energy. "That will drill holes in bricks," says Lewis.
Other tests at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico and the Atomic Weapons Establishment on the island of Foulness, UK, confirmed that Starlite was the real deal. At Foulness, researchers used an arc lamp, essentially a powerful tungsten bulb, to focus a huge amount of heat onto a small area of the material. Again an impressive performance: the material easily withstood temperatures of around 1000 °C, according to a 1993 article in the military publication International Defence Review.

Re: No Brainer
Okay, okay... if he doesn't want to open his black box to scrutiny, it could just be left running for a period of time with several independent assessors monitoring the power in and power out. The volume of the box is known. If the box continues outputting power for a period of time beyond what one would expect of a battery or fuel cell, it will become interesting and worthy of further consideration (even if 'all' he has created is a better battery, it would be noteworthy but not world changing)
Until then, I'm assuming snake oil.

Nurses reject plans to make patients pay £10 for a GP appointment
Motion was put forward to union by members saying NHS finances were 'not infinite'
Adam Withnall
Adam Withnall writes for http://independent.co.uk
Wednesday 18 June 2014
The UK's largest nursing union has overwhelmingly voted against plans to introduce £10 charges every time someone goes to see their GP, in what bosses described as an affirmation of the belief the NHS should be free at point of delivery.
Members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) met at their annual conference in Liverpool to debate a motion, put forward by nurses themselves, which warned that is was time to think about "where [healthcare] resources will come from" in the future.
As well as providing extra revenues for the NHS, it has been argued that charging for GP consultations would "emphasise the value" of such a service, cut down on unnecessary surgery visits and tackle the issue of missed appointments.
But RCN members said the proposed motion left them "shaking with horror", and it was shot down with 91 per cent of delegates voting against.
Presenting the resolution, which if accepted would have likely been rubber-stamped as official RCN policy, north-east London branch representative Andy McGovern said: "The NHS needs more resources and the question has to be asked, where will these resources come from?
"At some point in the future, regardless of which UK country we live in, there will have to be a choice between increased taxation or paying for public services like health that we have hither to expected by right."
But speaking against the motion, Dave Dawes from the Manchester central branch of the RCN said: "We don't need to imagine some hypothetical world where people look in their pockets, see how much money they have got and decide whether or not they can see their GP.
"We used to live in that country, we decided we didn't want to live there any more so we invented the NHS - free at the point of delivery."
Commenting on the result of the vote, RCN's chief executive and general secretary Dr Peter Carter said: "Charging patients for GP visits is a controversial issue - one that goes to the heart of what the NHS is and should be.
"Today, nurses and health care assistants have reaffirmed their passionate belief that the NHS should be free at the point of delivery.
"As the General Election approaches, the public need to know where the parties stand on this vital issue.
"Nurses are passionate about protecting the health service and its founding principles but they know that it faces challenges, that its finances are finite and so they will continue to address the difficult questions."
A Department of Health spokesman said: "We are absolutely clear that the NHS should be free at the point of use, and we will not charge for GP appointments."

As we've discussed in the past, house cats belong in the house, as feral felines have a serious, unnatural impact on wild bird populations.
Utah state Rep. Curt Oda has introduced legislation that would permit "the humane shooting or killing of an animal if the person doing the shooting or killing has a reasonable belief that the animal is a feral animal."
Recently, it has been reported that captures of errant grizzly bears has hit a new record here in Wyoming. As of August 27, 38 grizzlies have been captured. Four were euthanized because of human safety concerns. Most were captured because of conflicts with livestock. Some of these bears have been captured more than once. All of these bears were captured outside the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park.

Australian Stock Market Report – Midday 4/3/14

By Tom Piotrowski, CommSec Market Analyst | April 3, 2014 12:49 PM EST
Mid Session Report
The early part of Thursday's trade on the ASX has been marked by a balancing act. On the one hand miners have been a positive influence, although sellers have focussed on the financials. As a result the market has been held to only modest improvements in the hours leading up to lunchtime on the east coast. The ASX 200 peaked with a gain of 15 points in the first hour of trade. Market participation was light with around $1 billion in turnover having changed hands. It could be argued that investors are applying a cautious approach ahead of the US payrolls data due at the end of the week.
Of the big 4 banks the NAB was leading the declines. The lender announced this morning that CEO Cameron Clyne will retire in August, to be replaced by Bank of New Zealand CEO Andrew Thorburn. Mr Thorburn was previously NAB´s head of retail banking, had responsibility for the bank´s Asian and US operations and has led Bank of New Zealand since 2008.
Miners were generally well supported over the morning helped my improving metals prices. Aluminium prices continued to rise to their highest level this year on supply concerns after Brazil, Alcoa and RUSAL signalled potential cutbacks in aluminium output this year. Copper also lifted on concerns that supply may be constrained in the near term after an earthquake triggered tsunami warnings in Chile, the world's largest copper producer. Gold futures rose on expectations physical demand will lift in China. On the heels of recent chatter around BHP's potential divestment of assets, the miner today announced the sale of its West Musgrave nickel project in Western Australia to Cassini Resources (CZI). Cassini will pay a $250,000 cash deposit in addition to a 2 per cent smelter royalty and a further $10 million 12 months after production starts. CZI shares were at 24 cents a rise 19 cents or more than 430 percent
Retailers were generally higher. Figures released by the ABS showed that retail sales rose by 0.2 per cent in February, which was marginally below an anticipated rise of 0.3 per cent.The figures were seen in the context of improving retail trade has continued to improve over recent quarters. Billabong (BBG) and Pacific Brands (PBG) stood out with gains of around 4 per cent. David Jones (DJS) was one of the better gainers amongst the consumer discretionary stocks with a gain of almost 1.5 per cent.
