I have been checking out a lot of videos online recently. I was just wondering what software is used to record games and then give the options to play back so that the gamer can give a comentry of the gameplay as far as i know xbox has a theater mode ??? I was just wondering if there was any ps3 soft ware that would enable us to do this ??????
Thanks for reading

That's a good question! I always wondered that too.

During his first morning as Pope, Francis prayed for nearly 30 minutes at the altar of Rome's Basilica of St Mary Major. Before he left he greeted a married couple and gave a blessing to the lady, who was pregnant
Euphoria broke out in St Peter's Square
Just moments after being elected, Pope Francis gave his first 'Urbi et Orbi' blessing as he stood on the balcony overlooking St Peter's Square
Let's pray that he will inspire all Catholics to join him in the urgent task of rebuilding the Church
The conclave is officially underway. The doors of the Sistine Chapel were closed just moments after Msgr Guido Marini announced the famous Latin phase: 'Extra Omnes,' which roughly translates to 'Everyone Out.'
The 115 cardinals processed into the Basilica to begin the Pro Eligendo Pontifice Mass

I use Inspiron 1460 which need to press Fn key to enter F4. This thus make my Alt+F4 more difficult because I need to press 3 keys instead two shorter key combination. I want to change the key binding to Alt+Esc if possible. Can this be achieve? I use CompizSetting to change it before this but no luck.
Go to System Settings, and under the Hardware section click on Keyboard. You'll see Shortcut settings there, and Alt+F4 should be under "Windows."

So many educators across the sectors get funding for short-term projects that they feel should continue on after the funding ends. So often their great work gets a mention in a white paper or academic's journal article and that's the end of the story.
This discussion starter aimed to get people thinking about what makes for a good case study and translate that to making an effective business case to their institutions and/or funding bodies.

The future is urban... but is it sustainable?
For decades, warnings have been issued: the burgeoning human population will outgrow the planet's capacity to sustain us. The formula seems simple. More people equals fewer resources and greater environmental damage.
But today, we have a more nuanced understanding of the population-environment connection. We know that the relationship between human beings and the environment is complex, mediated by systems of production and consumption. And we know that population growth is not the only demographic change that matters: age structure and population distribution also shape environmental impact.
In other words, the planet's "carrying capacity" is not just about human numbers, but about how people live, and where...

I recently bought and started playing through Dark Souls because of Vinny's feature. I am surprised how much fun and engaging this game is even though I'm not a very good gamer. I am enjoying exploring areas and the suspense of not knowing what's ahead, or if I should even be there at all. I have been playing through mostly blind, only occasionally seeing if I am underleveled for certain areas, and found I've wasted a lot of time in areas I shouldn't be in yet.
Do you feel that reading guides will take some of the magic away from the game? On the other hand, there are tons of details that I will miss if I don't read anything, plus the game does a poor job explaining things as it is. I'm sure it would be more rewarding if I beat it without help, if possible.
How did you play through the game? Thanks for the replies.

Dependent data arise in many studies. Frequently adopted sampling designs, such as cluster, multilevel, spatial, and repeated measures, may induce this dependence, which the analysis of the data needs to take into due account. In a previous publication (Geraci and Bottai in Biostatistics 8:140–154, 2007), we proposed a conditional quantile regression model for continuous responses where subject-specific random intercepts were included to account for within-subject dependence in the context of longitudinal data analysis. The approach hinged upon the link existing between the minimization of weighted absolute deviations, typically used in quantile regression, and the maximization of a Laplace likelihood. Here, we consider an extension of those models to more complex dependence structures in the data, which are modeled by including multiple random effects in the linear conditional quantile functions. We also discuss estimation strategies to reduce the computational burden and inefficiency associated with the Monte Carlo EM algorithm we have proposed previously. In particular, the estimation of the fixed regression coefficients and of the random effects' covariance matrix is based on a combination of Gaussian quadrature approximations and non-smooth optimization algorithms. Finally, a simulation study and a number of applications of our models are presented.

Will New Rules Help Investors Win Disputes With Brokers?
If your broker put you through hell, you may have to go through hell all over again just to get your own money back.
Consider Corinne Matser, 77 years old, a retired registered nurse-practitioner in Laguna Woods, Calif., whose effort to get even became an obsession.
In 2006, Ms. Matser says, broker Laurence Finn persuaded her to sell an existing annuity and exchange it into a fixed-indexed annuity. She says he told her it would provide ample regular income that would rise over time.
To her consternation, she says, she soon learned that she could withdraw much less without a penalty from the new annuity than from the old one. Most of her regular income was suddenly gone. When Mr. Finn declined to redress her concerns, she says, she turned to arbitration.
"It was the hardest thing I've ever done," adds Ms. Matser, who says that her lungs function at 50% of capacity because of chronic pulmonary illness. "It took enormous amounts of energy, and at first I thought I couldn't do it, but I took it one step at a time."
New steps proposed by regulators aim to make the arbitration ordeal easier for people like Ms. Matser. But they may be more like baby steps than giant leaps.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which is funded by the securities business and oversees how investments are sold to the public, runs the arbitration system that settles disputes between investors and brokers. Arbitrators can be "nonpublic" (for example, lawyers or executives who do business with securities firms) or "public" (with no significant involvement in the securities industry). Finra trains the arbitrators and pays them an honorarium of $400 to $475 a day.
Historically, at least one member of an arbitration panel had to come from within the securities industry on cases in which large sums were in dispute. In late 2008, Finra began testing a "pilot program" that permits investors to choose an arbitration panel made up entirely of public members.
For many investors, Finra arbitration seems to resemble a medical-malpractice case heard in a court run by the American Medical Association, with a jury made up partly of doctors. In a 2008 survey of more than 1,000 investors, 61% disagreed with the statement that "the arbitration process was fair for all parties."
The public option is meant to improve the process. "No customer will get a nonpublic arbitrator if they don't want one," says George Friedman, director of dispute resolution at Finra. It seems likely that next month, the Securities and Exchange Commission will approve a proposed rule change giving all investors the option to request a panel made up entirely of public arbitrators.
But it is too early to tell whether all-public panels will give investors a fairer hearing. According to Finra, most of the cases in the pilot program with all-public panels have awarded damages to investors, but the sample size is very small.
Note, too, that brokers or other Wall Street veterans may become public arbitrators only five years after leaving the securities industry. Lawyers, accountants and other professionals who devote less than 20% of their time to clients in the securities business (and whose firms derive less than 10% of revenue from it) also are eligible. Under Finra's rules, arbitrators who formerly worked in the industry and had fewer than three customer complaints lodged against them generally remain qualified to serve as arbitrators.
Ms. Matser says she worked on her case for much of the past four years. "I lived on less than $16 a day, for my food, my cat's food, all my expenses," Ms. Matser says. "If it weren't for the 99-cent store, I don't know what I would have done."
Ms. Matser, who doesn't own a computer, says she prepared her 100-page statement of claim on a 40-year-old Remington typewriter. "I could only work on it for about an hour at a time," she says, "before I would start shaking and have to stop."
A few weeks ago, Ms. Matser won her arbitration; she was awarded the $20,383.60 in damages she had sought, plus $425 in costs.
John Lutz, Mr. Finn's attorney, declined to address the specifics of the case, saying only that "arbitration does bring finality to whatever disputes are brought before it." Ms. Matser "was a determined woman," Mr. Lutz says. "She was persistent, and finally she got her case heard."
"I contracted shingles from the stress of it all," Ms. Matser says. "But it meant a lot to me that I did it myself. I feel my story is one of hope."

I also think he beats Carbajal and Gonzalez,
and I also feel a Yuh vs Chang fight would have been competitive and it would have been absolutely brutal. Yuh never backed up from nobody
I agree with you completely on this. S_S made a good point that no one ever really forced Yuh to elevate his game and get all out of himself, but I believe that against Chang that is exactly what would have happened.
Yuh would have been hellbent on proving to the Korean public that he could hang with Chang and better yet beat him, and he would have pulled out all the stops and given it his all had they fought, of this I am certain.
Wether or not he would have won is another matter, but win or lose Yuh would have given Chang a very hard nights work, as you pointed out Yuh never backed away from anybody and he certainly wouldn`t have done so against Chang with so much national bragging rights and pride at stake.

Commonweal Magazine
Trending Topics:
Cardinal Keith O'Brien of Edinburgh has repeatedly raised doubts about mandatory clerical celibacy in the Roman Church. In 2002, just prior to being named cardinal, he went on record as being open to changes in this discipline and was promptly hounded into silence by some oversensitive, self-identified "traditionalists" in Scotland and elsewhere. Yet he stuck his head up again in May 2005-just after Pope Benedict XVI took office-raising the question of whether this pontificate might be open to a change in Latin practice.
Though it is too early to know whether Pope Benedict will want to give much consideration to the issue, it is being regularly discussed by a variety of interested parties (see Commonweal, August 12). Yet that discussion is often theoretical and fails to include much practical thinking. Such thinking will be required if Roman Catholics are to prepare for the possibility of a married priesthood.
Many Catholics think that opening the priesthood to married men will bring about a massive infusion of new vocations, filling all vacancies, letting the elderly clergy finally retire, and setting the church up for a bright, well-manned future. Think again.
A married priesthood would bring many difficulties the Latin West has not had to deal with in centuries. First, it costs money and, crass though it sounds, this is one of the important historic reasons why the West chose to require...

I actually make this all the time but there is something missing. 4 oz of clamato or v8 juice in with the beer and the rest of the seasonings.
I lost this recipe in our move. This is really good - and a nice change of pace from 'beer'. I prefer it with dark beer, but something in between light and dark beer is even better. Thanks for posting.

A Tribute To Alexander McQueen
Unfortunately one of Britain's most successful and loved fashion designers, Alexander McQueen has been found dead after commiting suicide at his home in London this morning (11th February). He was pronounced dead at the scene. His mother passed away last week and it was a really hard time for him. This is such a tragic loss. His clothes were worn by so many people and he was so well respected in the fashion industry. Rihanna and Lindsay Lohan were the most recent celebs to have worn his clothes that we have blogged. I'm really upset. I wanted to make this post into a tribute post showcasing his collection that he showed at Mercedes Benze Fashion Week in Italy last month in January. He made marble coloured fabrics and balaclavas really big on the catwalk and I was excited to see what else he would bring out.
Alexander has also been named fashion designer of the year four times since 1996 and has been awarded a CBE. He succeeded John Galliano at Givenchy before becoming Creative Director at Gucci. His success as a designer continued in 2007 when he launched his own label.
My heart goes out to his family and he will be greatly missed in the wonderful world of fashion. Please check out the gallery below to see some of his collection.
Denim Brands: HL Jeans
HL Jeans Co sail in to Spring/Summer 2010 by taking the collection back to its nautical roots by focusing on the heritage that the Henri Lloyd brand has built its foundations on. Mixing design and technical detailing inspired from the main line collection, the design team have incorporated these styles to the already established fashion focused youth label to create a contemporary men's wear brand.
The Spring/Summer outer wear collection delivers strong fashion focused styles with a seasonal colour palette ranging from bright reds to indigo, yellow and navy blue. The collection is then overlaid with key technical shapes and detailing borrowed from the brands naval history including enamelled buttons, welded pockets, nautical inspired block detailing and wax finishes. The Kenfield jacket follows the classic naval design structure with pod hood and reflective stitch embellishments.
The Naval theme taken on for Spring/Summer 10 runs throughout the entire collection, making the most impact on the T-shirt and Jersey ranges. HL Jeans Co has used a selection of naval inspired graphics and logos as shown in pieces such as the ÔÇÿtrue to the sea' T-shirt as well as other sailing graphics. The collection once again pulls on the Henri Lloyd heritage as it includes the use of the Smithfold branding, which represents where the brand began and features on several pieces of jersey wear.
The S/S10 collection has also introduced the new HL Jeans logo on some key pieces, the new logo lends the collection a more branded look which ties it in with the existing Henri Lloyd ranges.
The HL Jeans Co S/S10 denim selection offers a variety of styles to allow consumers to buy into the jean line ranges from the more skinny fit right through to the straight leg style. The overall design of the denim offering has moved towards more stylised pieces using bright indigos, block white and greys as well as the more traditional stone washes and the blue rinse.
Seven For All Mankind Expanding in Asia
In hopes of counter acting the economic conditions in the United States, Seven for All Mankind is expanding the brand in Asia
The company has doubled it's expansion and business in Asian Pacific region in the past year and hopes that this growth will continue into 2010. Most recently, the brand launched it's flagship store in Beijing, China last week. This adds one more store to the brand's 29 free standing stores, 10 of which are in Asia.
The brand's focus will continue to be on both free standing stores and mall stores. As the stores CEO explains, signature stores are key in China because "consumers there like a complete branded experience." This also means that the brand will continue it's foray into the non-denim market and emerge as a lifestyle brand.

Patient Comments: Sjögren's Syndrome - Symptoms and Signs
What symptoms and signs did you experience with Sjögren's syndrome?
Comment from: Worried in Florida, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 18
I am 46 and I just been diagnosed with Sjogren's last week. I am scared and worried not because of me, but for my family, and my 7 year old daughter. I have been reading everybody's post and I hope that everyone will soon feel better. I have the dry mouse, fast heart beat sometimes, very dry skin, blue finger nails, I sleep 4 hours a night, I'm always stressed, and I am having a hard time exercising. The rest of my results will be read to me next week.
Comment from: sore m, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: October 08
I have dry scalp, dry eyes, dry mouth, dry ears, everything is dry. I was diagnosed about a year ago with rheumatoid arthritis, and secondary Sjogren's. I take Arava and Humira for the rheumatoid arthritis. I use eye drops, Biotene mouthwash (which really helps with dry mouth), moisturizing shampoo and Eucerin for dry skin. I have learned to control the symptoms and that there is no cure.
Comment from: grimli76, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: April 15
I was diagnosed about four years ago with a false positive for Lyme disease and a high sedimentation rate (sed) – higher than that of an 80 year old. I often get to feeling rundown and dried out or dehydrated and have to go to the clinic for an IV therapy session, where I get fluids pumped into my veins – then start to feel a little better. I have a severely dry mouth and eyes, my eyes get infected a lot these days and get pus in them and crusty and red. My tongue gets dry like beef jerky and now I've had dry throat, where I lose my voice and sound really raspy. My skin is dry and rough – lotions don't seem to help much. My lips are usually cracked and sometimes split from being so dry. I have been experiencing increased pain in my knees due to the joints being dry and the rubbing of bone on bone. I have a deep pain in my neck, shoulders, and both arms. My hands feel weak and inflamed. I had a nerve test done and found out I have neuropathy in both my arms and legs due to Sjogren's. I don't even like to go anywhere or leave my home. I haven't left all winter except to see doctors, because the cold is so crippling on my body. There are times during flare-ups that the pain is so intense I can't sleep and pain medications do not help at all. Sometimes the only way I can get any relief or rest is to continuously use my heating pad. I am way too young to feel this old. There is so much I would still like to do in my life but fear that I may never get the chance to do it. I fear one day getting news of cancer because of this disease. My lymph nodes are always sore and it really has me wondering. I can so relate to everyone who shares their stories. Sjogren's is the gateway to diseases that are much worse. I wish more people understood what we go through as Sjogren's sufferers. Maybe then there would be more help out there for us.
Comment from: lexigirl, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: May 26
I was experiencing a lot of joint pain. My blood work came back showing I had Lupus but I was advised by my gp that this could be a false reading. I went to a Rheumatologist and after undergoing several tests, it was determined that I have Sjogren's Syndrome. In addition to dry eyes and mouth and joint pain I am now seeing a Pulmonologist because I am having trouble breathing whenever I am the least bit active. I have had anxiety attacks because I felt like I couldn't breathe. CT of my lungs shows calcified and uncalcified nodules in the tissue of my lungs. Also, I can't take the medicine prescribed (azathroprine)for Sjogrens. It makes me vomit, even when I take with food.
Comment from: Carolyn, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: May 24
I am 72 and suffered with fibromyalgia for 20 years. Now I have Sjogren's syndrome. I experience fatigue, depression, and I need to take Ambien to sleep. Also, I have aches and pain. I have a pain under my right breast, so I quit wearing underwire bras, but that didn't help. My mouth feels as if it is on fire. It burns! My eyes are fine, so far. I have lost 20 pounds, which is a good thing. I am lightheaded though, and I get dizzy. I also get night sweats. I went through the night sweats years ago as well. I golf and try to keep busy.
Comment from: cc, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: May 20
I was diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome about 10 years ago, but I was having the symptoms longer than that. The fatigue is the worst for me and then the joint pain. I find that if I overdo it with activity is when I experience the most joint pain. I was in remission for about five years until I recently changed jobs and have to work about 14 hours a day. These hours have been extremely difficult, and the fatigue is overwhelming. I am going to have to balance my life and the stress level a lot better if I want the symptoms to decrease.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) _ The Kansas City suburb of Overland Park is rejecting backyard chickens again.
On Monday, the City Council voted unanimously to deny a one-year test permit to brothers David and Bill Crupper to keep their four hens.
David Crupper had said he wanted the chickens for fresh eggs. But opponents said the birds could lower property values.
The permit would have lasted only one year.
Four years ago, the City Council rejected a similar request.

Fed up with the arrogance, the cronyism and a perceived sellout on illegal immigration, voters in Virginia's conservative 7th Congressional District did Tuesday what no one has done since 1899: Throw out a sitting House majority leader.
The mainstream media and their political pundits didn't see it coming. The party and corporate bag men who backed Rep. Eric Cantor with millions of dollars were powerless to stop the wave of revulsion.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch editorial endorsement didn't help, as Hanover, Henrico and Chesterfield counties ringing the capital city went heavily for tea partyer Dave Brat.

'I don't want to die': Haunting final cries into the darkness of teenage boys as they froze to death in icy lake as rescuers searched in vain
- Nick Cianciotto and Clyde Schimanski III, aged 14 and 15, fell through the ice of Budd Lake on Monday night
- Rescue workers recovered one body at 2:30pm on Tuesday but are still searching for the other boy
- Clive's father said his son was riding his bicycle on the ice and had apparently gone to rescue the other teen
- Boy's mother, Laurie Halloran, said she had told Clive to be careful just hours before his death
Two high school students desperately begged for help after their bicycles fell through a frozen-over New Jersey lake, with one screaming 'I don't want to die,' in his final moments.
Clyde Schimanski III, 15, and Nick Cianciotto, 14, have been pictured for the first time after they collapsed into the icy waters of Budd Lake on Monday night during a wintry bicycle ride.
On Tuesday, one of the victims' bodies was recovered as rescue crews continue to search for the other teen.
Tragic: Clyde Schimanski III, right, and Nick Cianciotto, left, collapsed into the icy waters of Budd Lake on Monday night during a wintry bicycle ride
According to witnesses, the boys'
chilling screams brought help to the lake on Monday night, but rescuers
couldn't find the pair in the darkness.
'Please help me!' one of the teens screamed. 'I don't want to die!'
State police divers recovered one of the bodies at around 2:30pm on Tuesday but were still hunting for the second victim as dark fell and family and friends gathered on the lake's banks and at a nearby chapel to mourn the boys.
'I lost my son,' Laurie Halloran, the mother of missing 15-year-old Clyde told the New York Daily News. 'I feel numb.'
Relatives were gathered in the Mount Olive chapel to receive the devastating news that the school friends were dead.
'I never got the chance to say goodbye,' another woman said as she left the chapel weeping and clutching a man's arm.
Clive's father had earlier identified his son as one of the missing teens while friends later said his pal as Cianciotto. They told the Daily News the pair shared a love of BMX riding and extreme sports.
Extreme sports: Friends said Clyde Schimanski III, pictured right, and Nick Cianciotto, left, shared a love of BMX riding and extreme sports
Lynn O'Brien, whose son was riding bikes with the boys just before the accident, told NorthJersey.com that the two boys were about halfway across the lake when the ice collapsed.
Halloran said she warned her son about the dangers of riding on the lake about three hours before the tragedy, when she last spoke to him.
'I said, "Clyde, don't go out into the water. Please don't go out into the ice,"' she told the Daily News.
Clyde Schimanski Jr. was visibly distraught on Tuesday as he pictured his son's 'horrible death.'
Officials still haven't publicly identified the body pulled from Budd Lake, but have said both teens are dead. Schimanski Jr. imagined the sheer terror his son must have suffered knowing death was coming.
The grief-stricken father told the Star-Ledger: 'Imagine screaming and knowing you're going to die. He died a horrible death.'
Miracle: Before the boys were declared dead, relatives stood on the banks of the lake praying for a miracle
Grief: Clyde Schimanski Jr., right, gets a hug from a friend as a recovery effort resumed for two teenagers thought to have fallen through the ice into Budd Lake
On-going: A State Police diver climbs into Budd Lake during the on-going search for two teens; a body was recovered earlier today
He added that somehow, his son's death was part of God's plan. 'God works in mysterious ways,' Schimanski Jr. said.
Residents of Mount Olive wrote their condolences for Clyde and Nick Ciancotto on Facebook.
Friends said that Nick and Clyde had planned to go ice fishing on Monday morning. Residents say that the lake is a common hang-out and recreational area in the winter.
However, at a press conference held earlier on Tuesday, officials would only say that they had been tirelessly searching for two teenagers who had fallen through the ice around 6:20pm on Monday.
The operation changed from a rescue mission to a recovery effort on Tuesday morning, officials said.
Switch: Rescue efforts had switched from a search to a recovery mission earlier today
Sadness: Two friends embrace on a dock on Budd Lake after a body was recovered
Embrace: Three students hug after one body was recovered during a search for two teenagers thought to have fallen through the ice into Budd Lake
As the two teenagers disappeared beneath the ice of Budd Lake, witnesses said they heard desperate cries for help.
Though rescue workers searched for hours in the black waters, it took until 2:30pm on Tuesday to find one of the teens, while the other is still missing.
Mount Olive Mayor Rob Greenbaum said: 'I am hopeful for the second family that we can bring some closure to this tragic event.'
According to the Daily Record, first responders broke through more than 100 feet of ice on Monday evening in a bid to find the two teens.
Firefighters, state police, and cold water divers all assisted in the rescue effort.
A State Police helicopter flew overhead
shining light into the icy waters of the lake before the search was
eventually called off.
VIDEO Rescue workers continue frantic search for missing teens
Bartender Christine Stanat told the Hackettstown Patch that she heard one of them yelling, 'Help, help, don't let me die!'
William Hardy, 25, and his roommate also heard the screams. They had been smoking outside of their house, which is on the banks of the lake.
Hardy told the Star-Ledger that he called the police, grabbed a flashlight, and then ran out onto the ice to see how he could help.
New Jersey resident went around 700ft out onto the ice before he heard
it began cracking beneath his weight. Hardy said he saw a blue light
that could have come from a cell phone.
'It hurts my heart. Until they pull him out, I'll…hold tight. I want to know they find him.'
-Father Clyde Schimanski about missing son, Clyde III
too, heard the teenagers saying they don't want to die. Assuring them
that help was on the way, Hardy watched as the blue light vanished and
the voices fell silent.
An official confirmed that the two were a great distance from shore. A later report from MyFoxNY said that one of the boys, Clyde, had ridden his bicycle out to rescue the first boy who fell in.
His father, Clyde Schimanski, Jr. told the station that his son saw another person fall through the ice into the water below and tried to rescue him.
Rescue effort: First responders, including cold water divers, scoured Budd Lake in northern New Jersey for hours last night
Collective effort: Police, EMS, and firefighters all joined in to find the missing teens; search efforts continue today to recover their bodies
Rescue: Initial reports said that a body was pulled from the water last night; these reports were later deemed to be erroneous
Collaborative effort: Rescue workers from neighboring towns rushed to the scene to offer aid
'Clyde went to save him on his bicycle. And then they both went in,' he said. 'He was a very good child. I'm going to miss him a lot.'
Speaking with MyFoxNY, Mr Schimanski Jr. said that he 'knows there is no hope.'
'It hurts my heart,' the grief-stricken father said. 'Until they pull him out, I'll…hold tight. I want to know they find him.'
Last night, Mount Olive Mayor Robert Greenbaum said that he believed the two boys, both students at Mount Olive High School, were ice fishing. 'The lake is not guarded in any way,' he said.
The mayor later posted a status update on his Facebook page speaking of the grief that had likely come to the New Jersey community.
He wrote: 'Once again I am sad to report that we likely lost two young adults in Mount Olive this evening. May God bless their families and help ease their pain.'
The mayor added that he was thankful for all of the help received from neighboring towns.
Tragedy: Budd Lake is located in Mount Olive, New Jersey, a small town about 40 miles outside of Newark
There were initial reports last night that a body had been removed from the water, but those reports were today proved to be erroneous.
The natural lake is often used in the winter for recreational activities like ice skating and ice fishing. At its deepest, it is 12ft. The weather in Mount Olive has been warmer than average this season, with daily highs well above freezing point.
However, area residents said that the lake had been frozen enough for usual wintertime activities such as skating and fishing.

The last time the Dow Jones Industrial Average braved a record high—when it reached 14,165 on Oct. 9, 2007—it went on to lose more than half its value over the next 15 months. So investors can be forgiven for feeling apprehensive with the Dow once again closing in on a new peak.
Profit takers flag possible speed bumps like $3.80 gasoline, recent volatility, rising Treasury yields, and potentially pesky headlines from Washington to Rome. Which of these should we worry about?
With Americans already coping with higher payroll taxes, pricier gas can hurt spending. Yet recent corrections caused by gas shocks—measured from the first day gas tops $3.75 a gallon to the market low over the next six months—have shrunk from 39.5% in 2008 to 17.2% in 2011 to just 4% last summer, notes Bespoke Investment Group. Are we getting used to expensive gas?
Last week's short selloff following an uncertain Italian election reminded us that Europe still can rattle U.S. markets, but these days it might take more to set off a bigger correction. "We now have a lender of last resort" in the European Central Bank, and Greek government debt has been restructured, notes Credit Suisse's global strategist Andrew Garthwaite. "In the past, Euro-area crisis has tended to intensify in periods when global growth momentum has slowed, and that is not the case currently."
Sharp market swings unnerve investors, and the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index jumped from 14 to 19 within hours last Monday. But the spike subsided just as quickly when underinvested money managers stepped in to buy the dip. And while the yield on 10-year Treasuries has ticked up from 1.5% last summer to nearly 2%, as economic cues improved, a troubling spike to 4% or 5% seemed unlikely with the Federal Reserve still buying buckets of bonds.
Spending cuts totaling $85 billion in 2013 could shave 1.5 percentage points off economic growth next quarter, "but the sequestration doesn't have to ding the market, let alone tank it," says Hans Olsen, head of investment strategy for the Americas at Barclays Wealth & Investment Management. Real government spending isn't as closely correlated with corporate earnings as most investors feared, and Olsen calls the sequestration "a sideshow."
The bigger fight looms over the temporary budget expiration on March 27 and debt-ceiling discussions that had been postponed to May. Failure to resolve the debt ceiling—if Washington hasn't learned its lesson from the 2011 fiasco—could trigger downgrades of the U.S. credit rating. In the short term, the threats remains what traders call "headline risk" and potential policy missteps from a divisive budget debate. That leaves a stock market that has run up 20% since June prone to some profit-taking.

Since the company went public last July, shares (ticker: PANW) have risen about 70% in less than two months only to swiftly surrender much of those gains. That bumpy ride could continue this month, when the expiration of certain lock-up periods makes even more shares available for selling.
Investors with the stomach for risk, however, will have a chance to get in on a company redefining its category. Computer hackers are at the front line of today's espionage, and even our government is tapping the private sector to help strengthen security standards for critical infrastructure from banks to utilities.

Yet Palo Alto has just 3% of the firewall market, and Lazard analyst Joel Fishbein thinks it "has a significant amount of runway."
Analysts expect Palo Alto to earn 20 cents a share this year and 43 cents in 2014. That means shares trading near $59 already fetch a staggering 137 times projected 2014 profits. Shares will be volatile, and rising expenses and a patent lawsuit by Juniper bear watching, but Palo Alto has no debt and nearly $5 a share in cash.

Frownies Facial Pads
Inspiring women to be strong, and in control of their beauty. Frownies' support healthy younger looking skin as they smooth expression lines.
Address Deep Expression Lines
Frownies Facial Patches are an effective wrinkle treatment that addresses the physical cause of deep lines and wrinkles on the face. Frownies Facial Patches made from natural, skin-friendly materials, easy to use and work to give a younger appearance. Facial Patches are applied to the forehead winkles between the eyes and across the forehead as well as the crows feet at the corners of the eyes and around the mouth, to gently re-educate the underlying muscles to assume their correct, relaxed and natural appearance. Frownies, traditional patch works at night to eliminate the appearance of skin wrinkles, leaving younger, relaxed-looking skin. Frownies Facial Patches are a true anti-aging skin treatment!
More Before and After Pictures
These amazing results were achieved after using Frownies every night for only 3 weeks. More results can be expected with continued use and may vary from one person to the next. Add wrinkle cream Immune Perfect to the skin as a anti-wrinkle companion.
Face the Facts
- Continual repetitive motions such as frowning, squinting, smiling, etc. cause damage to the facial tissue supporting the epidermis (visible layer of the skin).
- Over time, this damage deepens and cells in some areas of the wrinkle slow down production of elastin and collagen, making it easier for the muscle to press the skin together. Cells in other areas build up and cause heavy sagging at the deepest part of the wrinkle.
- There is a solution to this age-old problem of wrinkled skin. Frownies wrinkle treatment patches form a splint holding the visible layer of skin smooth and flat overnight while the skin cells reposition themselves supporting the natural, smooth, healthy-looking skin.
- The first sign of deepening lines indicates the time to begin applying Anti-aging solutions like Frownies Facial Pads while you sleep. Moisten the back of the pad with Frownies Hydrator Spray and apply directly over the wrinkle.
- It's never too late to splint deep skin lines with Frownies. With this wrinkle treatment, you will see visible improvement overnight and continual use is the key to lasting results. Don't think you have to live with deep wrinkles. Frownies will diminish the visible signs of aging skin effectively and naturally.

How Anti Wrinkle Treatments Work
With the numerous anti aging products in the market, the concern is the efficacy of these treatments. Everyone wonders about the magical formulation in the wrinkle treatment regimen they are about to start. Will these treatments be wrinkle reducers or will they actually reverse time? Wrinkle treatments are believed to take ages to work, but the fact is that with the present day anti aging skin products, effects can be seen in a little as a few days to a few weeks. So how exactly does an anti aging product work and what is it supposed to achieve?
Beginning Anti Wrinkle Treatment Work
When you begin the treatment, what you will notice is that the appearance of wrinkles is slowed considerably by the anti aging product and that it even seems to reverse the appearance of these fine lines. This is done in a few days from the hydration that comes from a good anti wrinkle treatment like Immune Perféct as well as the reflecting light of well hydrated skin. Besides working to reduce wrinkles, good anti aging moisturizes also gives your skin an uplifted look that helps you look much younger. Proper hydration alone can shave years off your appearance.
What Makes a Good Anti Wrinkle Treatment Product?
Good anti aging products also contain powerful anti-oxidants that help your skin fight oxidation damage that causes wrinkling from within. Getting rid of dead skin that can accumulate on the surface of the face and make lines more visible is accomplished with a gentle exfoliating pH Balanced Complexion Wash. It helps stimulate the growth of fresh younger looking skin. Good anti wrinkle treatment ingredients in Immune Perfect also work to help promote the creation of skin elements such as collagen to help maintain the elasticity of skin. With age, collagen production decreases and a good anti wrinkle skin care program will help promote firm toned skin.
Benefits of A Anti Wrinkle and Wrinkle Treatment Plan
With a good wrinkle treatment plan, you will also be able to improve the blood circulation to your skin. The presence of Vitamin E, amino acids, polypeptides, niacin and naturally occurring vitamins in Immune Shield, Immune Perféct and Eye Gels are all beneficial to the skin and work together to help promote its beauty. The presence of naturally occurring oils in Immune Perféct and Immune Shield anti aging skin care helps reduce the appearance of fine lines that form on the service of the face.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The evening began with an official proclamation from David Stern, who announced to the assembled historians from the press that the Golden State Warriors indeed have the most loyal fans in the NBA.
Golden moments for underdogs
Yet that was merely the pregame warmup.
At halftime.
The game they've been waiting for in the Bay Area for nearly 13 years was only a 13-point game at that point, but you couldn't really fault the lack of restraint around here. Not when the Golden State Warriors, leaving the mighty Dallas Mavericks dazed and confused yet again, so thoroughly controlled their first home playoff date since 1994.
It was played before the largest basketball crowd in the history of California -- 20,629 -- and impartial observers were forced to agree with the frenzied locals, most of whom were sporting one of the 20,000 yellow "We Believe" t-shirts handed out by the home team.
Even at intermission, this one did have an air of finality.
That's because the Mavs have consistently looked as though they can't keep up with the Warriors' speed and athleticism. With the exception of maybe two quarters, Golden State has been the sharper team, leaving the 67-win favorites looking increasingly befuddled and dispirited with its array of fearless drivers and the stunning late-season discovery of roughhouse D.
How dispirited? Three technical fouls in the third quarter should give you an indication of the Mavs' frustration as the Warriors -- weren't they supposed to be the meltdown guys? -- just kept running them ragged and padding that halftime lead until they had a 109-91 Game 3 rout and a 2-1 series lead to take into Game 4.
"I do expect Dallas to play their best game next game," said Warriors coach Don Nelson, refusing to let up on the we're-schmoes routine that has been tweaking his old team since the playoff pairings were made.
Can't wait to see Sunday night if the Mavs can live up to Nellie's confidence.
A Game 4 victory would firmly snatch the momentum away from the eighth-seeded upstarts and reclaim home-court advantage for Dallas.
However . . .
A Game 4 loss would put Dirk Nowitzki in the same unsavory predicament as his dear friend Steve Nash faced a year ago: Dirk's powerhouse team trailing 3-1 in the first round and facing the prospect of trying to explain an early playoff exit at your MVP press conference.
Of course, Nash's team in that scenario was 54-28 and didn't have Amare Stoudemire. You can imagine the reception awaiting the Mavs -- and Nowitzki specifically -- if they don't respond quickly.
"The pressure is going to be on us," Nowitzki conceded. ". . . We said all season long that our goal is a championship and anything else would be a disappointment."
Which might explain why Mavs coach Avery Johnson is struggling to mask his concern. Even with the Warriors' Stephen Jackson clearly playing a more subdued game than usual after receiving a $50,000 fine from the league office earlier in the day, Golden State didn't suffer at all, with Jason Richardson and Baron Davis combining for 54 points and Nelson's lineup change -- restoring Andris Biedrins as his starting center in place of the struggling Al Harrington -- working out considerably better than Johnson's surprise decision to start Nowitzki at center in Game 1.
As for Nowitzki's offense, this was an improvement. He scored Dallas' first eight points and appeared to be assembling a breakout performance with 16 points and eight boards at the half. But Nowitzki finished with a muted 20 points and 12 boards, disrupted by foul trouble and the Warriors' varied reserve of smaller and quicker defensive pests.
Worse yet, Nowitzki was by far the best thing Dallas had going in a punchless performance, even in this state.
"We just didn't have the passion, fire, intensity and physicality to win this game," Johnson said. "We were just a step slow tonight. I just didn't see that look in our guys' eyes tonight."
The most loyal fan base on the NBA map, meanwhile, just continues to grow. Jessica Alba is still scheduled to be here for Game 4 and Game 3 was not without its own celebrity quotient.
Try Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson. They were at courtside and in the Warriors' victorious locker room, soaking it all in after 13 years of what Stern described as "a little more thin" than thick.
Hudson, like Alba, is one of Davis' longtime friends. But Wilson ranks as one of Big D's favorite sons . . . and guess who he's tight with?
Yup. You can mark Wilson's allegiance down as something else Nellie has swiped.

How Nets Could Reach Finals
Chris Broussard on the scene in East Rutherford, N.J.
As good as Toronto was in the regular season, the Raptors are too inexperienced to beat the veteran Nets.
Cleveland will be a tough second-round opponent, but the Cavs aren't scaring anyone in NJ. In that series, the Nets will have three of the four best players on the floor. One EC playoff coach tells me the Nets will beat Cleveland if they keep LeBron from driving to the hoop.

Heat's Inconspicuous Milestones
The Heat's 104-96 home loss to the Bulls left Chicago with a commanding three-zip lead in the best-of-seven series. And it left Miami in a situation never before faced by a defending NBA champion: the Heat is the first team to lose its first three playoff games the year after winning the NBA title.

Quote of the Day:
• Complete line score for every player
-- Andrew Ayres
Sweep Feeling In Store
Chris Sheridan on the Bulls' taking a 3-0 lead over the Heat ...
And when you saw thousands upon thousands of white-clad fans streaming toward the exits with under 30 seconds left, the picture got even clearer: May is going to be a month that has nothing to do with D-Wade, Shaq, South Beach or Riley.
So this thing should probably end on Sunday, and Riley will be left to wonder as he heads into the offseason whether it was worth it to keep his team intact and not make major changes for the defense of the title.
He said on opening night how he felt his team deserved at least that much, and look where it has gotten him: His team is on the verge of being swept. Or, to put it another way, the Chicago Bulls are on the verge of sweeping his team.
Whichever way you say it, the bottom line is the same: The better team is about to finish off this series, and the better team is the Chicago Bulls.

Key Developments In Nuggets-Spurs Series
San Antonio allowed the fewest free-throw attempts in the NBA this season, and its success in keeping Allen Iverson off the line was a huge factor in its bounce-back win in Game 2. For a low-percentage shooter like Iverson, the free-throw attempts are an absolute necessity to make up for the poor field-goal shooting.
If he gets to the line eight times, like both he and Carmelo Anthony did in Game 1, then he can shoot in the low 40s and still make a positive impact. But if he takes 25 shots without getting to the stripe, as in Game 2, then he's doing more harm than good.
That, along with Nene's defense against Tim Duncan and the paltry contributions from the Denver bench thus far, are a couple of the game-within-the-game stories that makes this series so intriguing.

Shades Of Washington Generals
Defensively, the Wizards are terribly overmatched trying to control the entire Cavs team. Perhaps we'll see them simplify their game plans and try to simply control LeBron James.
Doubling him on every catch has its risks due to his court vision, but at least it would force someone other than James to carry the offensive load. And perhaps the crowd and the pressure on Cleveland to keep the Wizards down will cause the players, other than LeBron, to play subpar. It is a gamble that is worthwhile for Washington, seeing as any other style of defense has been ineffective thus far.
I like what I saw from the Cavs in the second half of Game 2. They are facing a wounded team that is likely going to play with tremendous energy early in Game 3, but their defense is the best medicine to quiet the crowd. If the Cavs slow the pace effectively, while sharing the ball and getting their bigs involved early, then they should have enough toughness to withstand whatever punches the Wizards deliver. Be ready for an onslaught from Antawn Jamison, and a solid game from Hayes, but look for the Cavs to come out on top.
