I'm trying to figure out how to include a reference to a external data file (in text form) that I want distributed along with my application via Web Start (JNLP). Sifting through the documentation for the JNLP structure, I see that you can include references to JAR, nativelib, and extensions – however, I don't see a means to include a text file resource. How can I accomplish this so that Web Start will download the text file from the server and store it locally along with my application?

We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I don't believe you can do that.
You can, however, put it on your classpath (in a jar) and reference it through getResourceAsStream().
i just checked that jnlp file is also available as jar file also and as exe file also, so can i open these in a java gui and load my xml file

State Could Save Money And Still Expand Medicaid Coverage to 1 Million More
Published: Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 9:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 9:35 p.m.
MIAMI | A health report released Thursday estimates the state could expand its Medicaid coverage to more than 1 million residents without spending additional money by offsetting costs in state-funded hospital programs and other safety nets.
The study by Georgetown University Health Policy Institute comes days after Gov. Rick Scott softened his staunch opposition to the federal health care law, signaling he wants to explore setting up a state health exchange and expanding the Medicaid rolls.
Researchers said the state could save up to $100 million per year by offering Medicaid coverage to more residents by scaling back on state-funded mental health and substance abuse service programs and other hospital safety net funds, arguing that patients won't have to rely on them as much if they already have health insurance. The report estimates between 800,000 and 1.3 million Floridians could qualify for coverage if the state expands its rolls.
The Obama administration wants to make more low-income Floridians eligible for Medicaid and is offering to absorb the cost for the first three years and pick up 90 percent of the tab after that.
Under the new state exchanges, Floridians and small businesses can shop for health insurance from a virtual marketplace. The state can run the exchange on its own, join federal health officials in a partnership or allow the federal government to handle it completely. Top lawmakers sent a letter Thursday to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius saying they hadn't made a decision about whether the state will run the exchange because they don't have enough information. The letter also noted the state can't make a decision until the Legislature reconvenes in March.
But Georgetown experts warn that even with the new health exchanges, tens of thousands of Floridians will be left without insurance or Medicaid coverage starting in 2014 if the state chooses not to expand its rolls. That's because Florida already has some of the most stringent eligibility requirements in the country for Medicaid. A family of three with income of $11,000 per year makes too much and single residents are not covered.
Scott says he wants to work with federal officials on a solution but he's still concerned about where the money is going to come from to pay for Medicaid and whether tax hikes would be needed to fund it.
"I want to sit down and have good conversation to figure out if we can do an exchange, is there some way we can deal with the Medicaid expansion," Scott told The Associated Press this week.
An expansion would require additional costs, including an increase in payment rates for primary care services. Florida has one of the lowest Medicaid reimbursement rates. The federal government would pay the entire cost of the new Medicaid reimbursement rate, which would bring it in line with higher Medicare reimbursement rates. That could cost the state about $375 million per year, according to the Georgetown report.
Florida's Medicaid program currently costs more than $21 billion a year, with the federal government picking up roughly half the tab.

A Summary of the Major Actions of the Legislature's 225th Session
By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr. and RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA
Published: July 28, 2002
ALBANY — The 225th annual session of the New York State Legislature dragged quietly to a tentative close on July 2, after six months of partisan posturing and wrangling and very little real action.
Time and again, Gov. George E. Pataki, the Republicans who control the Senate and the Democratic leaders of the Assembly appeared to make progress toward major deals, only to see them fall apart in waves of recrimination. It was, by all accounts, one of the most gridlocked years in memory, a sharp departure from the axiom that Albany finds a way to do business in even-numbered years, when officials must stand for re-election.
Even the end of the session was not agreed on, having become, like so many things about state government, something of a fiction. The session was scheduled to end on June 20, but trickled on, as each house found reasons to return a few times — the last a session of the Senate on July 2 to pass a handful of bills — and each has signaled that it might come back this year, if deals can be reached on major legislation.
The biggest agreements of the year included giving Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg far greater control of New York City's schools, a big increase in health care spending despite a looming fiscal crisis, and, after two years of bitter conflict, a package of women's health care measures, including requiring insurers to cover contraceptives.
Chief among the long list of failures was the inability of lawmakers to agree on revamping the state's system of long mandatory sentences for drug crimes, enacted three decades ago under Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller.
High hopes were also dashed for legislation to reduce rising auto-insurance premiums and insurance fraud, a package of antiterrorism bills championed by the governor, a bill to raise the minimum wage, an overhaul of the state's toxic-waste-cleanup program, a statewide ban on smoking in restaurants and a law to prevent discrimination against gays. A requirement that clergy members report abuse of children to the authorities, agreed on in principle by all sides, appeared to run aground on what seemed like a simple language problem.
The session began with a deal between Mr. Pataki, a Republican who is running for a third term, and Dennis Rivera, a high-ranking Democrat and the leader of the largest health workers' union in the state, for $1.8 billion in new health care spending over the next three years. About half of that money will go toward pay raises for members of Mr. Rivera's union, 1199/S.E.I.U.
Despite questions about the fiscal soundness of the deal, it sailed through the Legislature in January, and the union repaid Mr. Pataki by endorsing him for re-election.
There were 745 bills that passed in both the Assembly and the Senate, most of them addressing narrow local issues like property transfers. Of those, Mr. Pataki has signed 198 into law and vetoed 2, but most have not yet been delivered to his desk.
Lawmakers passed an $89.6 billion election-year budget on May 17, relatively early, given the recent history of late budgets and legislative gridlock in Albany.
While other states around the country were cutting spending, New York managed to avoid deep cuts to services and even provided a $420 million increase in education aid, about 3 percent.
The budget includes $3 billion in one-time revenues, however. It also relies heavily on uncertain new federal aid, spends nearly all of the state's reserves, and adds $900 million in debt.
All told, the budget raises spending by about 6 percent, though the portion paid entirely with state taxes and fees will go up only 3 percent.
The Legislature imposed some new taxes and raised a number of obscure fees on items like hunting licenses to bring in about $85 million more.
The budget also counts on reducing the state work force by at least 5,000, through incentives for early retirement and a hiring freeze.
The governor and lawmakers also agreed to shift many costs now borne by the state to the federal government through some unorthodox accounting. College scholarships, for instance, will be financed with $380 million from a surplus of federal welfare money, while special funds for the environment and health care were used to provide $400 million to help balance the budget.
New York City's schools got a one-time infusion of about $200 million — actually money the state had owed the city for years for school construction — to help Mr. Bloomberg pay for a new contract with city teachers.

Would increase the civil penalty for failing to pay equal wages to women and men for the same job.
Would impose liability on employers who fire or discriminate against employees for displaying the American flag.
Would have banned smoking in restaurants, except in restaurant bars that are physically separated from the dining room or in separately ventilated smoking rooms.
Would have raised the minimum wage to $6.75 an hour, from $5.15, by January 2004.
Would have strengthened the code of conduct for, and state oversight of, certified public accountants.
Would have raised workers' compensation benefits, for the first time in 10 years, by up to 50 percent.

Would allow auto rental companies to sell their customers short-term insurance policies, called collision damage waivers, which are banned in New York but permitted in every other state.
Would prohibit the sale of children's clothing with drawstrings that extend more than three inches from the garment when it is expanded.
Would ban the use of dog or cat fur or flesh in any manufactured goods.
Would ban the use of monomeric methyl methacrylate, which is used on fingernails, in beauty salons.
Would permit businesses with beer and wine licenses to sell soju, a Korean vodka-like liquor, for consumption on the premises.
Would have prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in employment, housing and other areas.

Bullydog for Jeep JK
Reviewed By B M (Henrico, VA) Reviewed for a 2007 Jeep Wrangler —7/26/2016 5:52 AM
The Tuner is well made and instructions are very good. Only downsides are the it only has 4 maps for my Jeep JK, the head unit is small, and then menus are confusing. Overall it does what it says it does and I went from 14 MPG to 17.5 MPG. A pretty good bump for a Jeep. The tire size tool fixed my laggy speedo(-5MPH) back to the correct speed. Overall worth the money, but it needs a little more work like more maps and a little bigger screen.

Identification and development of vaccine candidates for Buruli Ulcer Disease
Keywords: protein subunit vaccines, attenuated live vaccines, mycobacterial infection, Mycobacterium ulcerans, tropical medicine, immune response, immunity
Buruli ulcer disease (BUD), caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, is a neglected bacterial infection of the poor in remote rural areas, mostly affecting children. BUD, the third most common mycobacterial disease in immunocompetent humans after tuberculosis and leprosy, is most endemic in West Africa, but cases have been reported from more than 30 countries. BUD is a mutilating disease leading to severe disability. Treatment with antibiotics is possible but is long-lasting, requires injections, shows treatment failures and drug resistance may occur. A vaccine against M. ulcerans would protect persons at risk in highly endemic areas and could be used as a therapeutic vaccine to shorten duration of treatment and to prevent relapses.
The general objective of BuruliVac is to identify and develop novel vaccine candidates suitable for translation into clinical application. This objective will be achieved by a multidisciplinary approach involving among others basic and applied research in immunology, bioinformatics, molecular genetics, tropical medicine, microbiology and clinical bacteriology.
As currently no existing vaccine lead candidate is available, the consortium will identify and develop new vaccine candidates of different types, will evaluate them using bioinformatics, applied genomics and proteomics and will subject them to consecutive test systems. For evaluation of vaccine candidates regarding their application in humans, the consortium will also study the immune response and disease immunopathology to define correlates of protection. Essential pre-clinical testing in vitro and in vivo will select a small number of candidates that is amenable to be introduced into clinical studies.

Protection has to be achieved against this infectious disease that is caused by a toxin-producing bacterium in rural areas of Africa that needs long-time antibiotic treatment and sometimes extensive surgery. Relapses are common. Protection by avoidance is not possible as the mode of infection is unclear.
To identify constituents of M. ulcerans or attenuated strains of M. ulcerans that can be used as a prophylactic or therapeutic vaccine. In the course of these studies extensive capacity building will be performed in the African partner institutions concerning both scientific work and diagnostic and clinical management.
Proteins of the causing bacterium M. ulcerans will be identified that can be used as a vaccine, and attenuated safe strains of M. ulcerans will be generated that can be used as a life vaccine. The African partner institutions will in a position to perform immunological monitoring of patients and molecular diagnostic of the infection.
A vaccine against BUD can be used in people at special risk or concomitant with treatment. The scientific principles underlying this vaccine can be applied to other mycobacterial infections.


text: Posted January 15, 2012 i think we'll be a lot closer to that next year than people think. getting key guys healthy is key. we'll probably see an upgrade at CB and FS. hopefully one at DT and TD's replacement will be brought in as well. once we have that and better coaching in the secondary plus a full offseason and a year of experience under these guys belts we'll be solid. i think one thing that people don't realize is quite a few of the guys who will be considered depth next year will have had tons of PT and even starting experience. that means quality and experienced depth and a solid rotation. i'm pumped to see what happens with this defense next year. rivera has a history of turning defenses around and i'm confident he'll do it with this one. i don't know that we'll be top 5, but i can see top 10-15.

Microsoft E3 2008 Conference Live Blog
Read live reactions to Microsoft's announcements from the 1UP crew.
12:03 -- Phil: FFXIII will be available on Xbox 360 on launch day in North America and Europe. Wada calls it "the day we have waited for." Wada thanks Don Mattrick and the audience and exits the stage for real this time.
12:02 -- Phil: "Shit just got real," as Shane put it. New FFXIII trailer looks really beautiful. Ifrit and Shiva show up. Lots of gunplay. Very brief snippets of in-game combat.
12:00 -- Phil: Wada leaves and then returns for "one more big announcement." Holy crap, Final Fantasy XIII for Xbox 360 confirmed.
11:59 -- Phil: Last Remnant looks very Square-Enixy. And that's not a bad thing, in my opinion. Game will be launching November 20 worldwide for the 360. Last Remnant also coming to Games for Windows -- the only PC game they discussed here!
11:57 -- Phil: First gameplay footage of Star Ocean: The Last Hope available on Xbox Live today. New Last Remnant footage being shown. "A Square Enix RPG for the world..." it begins.
11:54 -- Phil: Wada talking about how Square's been building a relationship with Microsoft, which led to Infinite Undiscovery (September 2 in U.S.), The Last Remnant (this holiday, timed exclusive to 360), and Star Ocean: The Last Hope (Spring 2009) all coming to the Xbox 360.
11:53 -- Phil: One final guest -- president of Square Enix, Youichi Wada.
11:52 -- Phil: If you own the original Rock Band, you'll be able to export "almost all of the original tracks" from that game into the new one. Nice. Over 500 total songs available for download and play on Rock Band by the end of the year.
11:49 -- Phil: Alex Rigopolus of Harmonix is taking the stage to talk about Rock Band 2 (timed exclusive on the 360 this September). He announces the "full Rock Band 2 soundtrack," but it's all in small text and hard to read. Saddd. New Guns N'Roses track will apparently debut on Rock Band 2. Really? Also Bob Dylan is licensing his music to a game for the first time ever with "Tangled up in Blue" in Rock Band 2. And AC/DC also will appear for the first time ever in a game in Rock Band 2. That poor Guitar Hero guy who was on before must be sobbing gently backstage right now.
11:48 -- Phil: Her final rating is "Supernova." I guess that's good. "I don't think I've ever had such a good time singing that song," she comments with no emotion whatsoever.
11:46 -- Phil: This lady is doing alright, but considering it's her own song, I'd expect her to be getting a better rating than just "Good." Tsk tsk.
11:45 -- Phil: Lips well let players upload songs from their own collection to sing along to. Some woman name Duffy (??) has taken the stage to sing her own song in the game. "I think she's bigger in Europe," Shane says.
11:43 -- Phil: Lips unveiled. It's for real. Elite Beat Agents creator Keiichi Yano is taking the stage.
11:41 -- Phil: Metallica's next CD will be available as DLC for Guitar Hero 3 and World Tour when the disc hits stores.
11:39 -- Phil: Talking Guitar Hero now, with another awkward pause for clapping that just didn't come. Apparently 80% of game music downloads are on the Xbox 360.
11:36 -- Phil: A director's mode will let you control edits. Game will come with an Xbox live camera. Shane: "That's my game of the show. It has incredible potential for home-made porn."
11:34 -- Phil: Third You're in the Movies game -- lady is dancing to Shane's cheers. Now they're showing off the movie that these mini-games are compiled into. It's a short b-movie about a giant radioactive lizard attacking a town.
11:33 -- Phil: Player actually shows up on screen with the Xbox camera. Now a guy is swatting wasps on screen. Shane says, "Woody Allen should sue," and adds, "This is kind of like the final round of Nick Arcade."
11:32 -- Phil: You're in the Movies will feature brief improvisations and games that will be edited into a movie. Example right now is a guy on stage running like a clown. Seriously.
11:30 -- Phil: Scene It commercial is the first retail game to use Avatars. The commercial was pretty goofy. "You're In the Movies" announced exclusively for Xbox Live this holiday season. New Codemasters game that will "get people off the couch and into the game." Now they're using the living room furniture on the stage to show this off.
11:29 -- Phil Original Banjo-Kazooie coming to Xbox Live Arcade. Now they're showing off the new Scene It game that uses Avatars. Subtitle is "Box Office Smash."
11:27 -- Phil: Banjo: Nuts and Bolts trailer leads into new Viva Pinata trailer. Over 100 total creatures. Karen is surely psyched for this info.
11:26 -- Phil: Shane Kim on stage now. Mentions GTA downloadable content coming later this year, but doesn't look like they'll actually show anything from it. Onto Showing off Rare stuff with a Banjo-Kazooie trailer.
11:24 -- Phil: Netflix instant watching confirmed for Xbox 360! Gold subscribers will not have to pay an extra fee. Can watch movies and TV shows together with your Xbox Live Party. Wow, okay, that's actually pretty cool. Garnett notes that he called it months ago.
11:22 -- Phil: Oh man! Portal robot voice introduces Portal: Still Alive, exclusive 2008 title for XBLA! Brand-new levels. Sounds more like an expansion pack, but still, who's going to complain about more Portal. Also an exclusive South Park game coming to XBLA. "N64 port?" Shane asks.
11:21 -- Phil: Galaga Legions, "The first true sequel to Galaga," announced. Same team that did Pac-Man World Championship Edition. Available next month already exclusively on XBLA.
11:20 -- Phil: Now they're moving into a discussion of Xbox Live Arcade. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 announced! Four-player co-op in the sequel. Looks even crazier than the original Retro Evolved. Shane: "Similar but awesome."
11:19 -- Phil: New Games channel. Uno Rush announced to a single cheer. Honestly, though, I sunk a lot of hours into Uno XBLA, so I'm psyched for this. Although it basically looks just like Uno but with Avatars.
11:18 -- Phil: Xbox Live Primtime revealed. Looks like Xbox Live game show rumor was also true. 1 vs. 100 will be the first. Virtual game show with Avatars, real prizes of some sort. "Combines the best of television and the best of games..."
11:17 -- Phil: New Community menu where you can create a "Live Party" where up to eight Avatars chat and interact together. Sort of like Home Lite. Can share photos, chat, play games, etc.
11:16 -- Phil: "Where else besides Xbox Live could you introduce the concept of an Avatar," someone asks on the video footage. "Everywhere," Shane notes to laughter.
11:15 -- Phil: Will supposedly be "very easy to include avatars in a game... plug and play."
11:13 -- Phil: Pause for clapping was awkward and led to much laughing. New "My Xbox" bar that Shane's describing as "Cross-Media Bar with Miis." The Avatar leak was real, they're showing them off now.
11:11 -- Phil: Claiming the 360 will be "completely reinvented through software." Major dashboard update revealed!
11:09 -- Phil: John Schappert, head of Xbox Live Services, is on stage now. "Xbox 360 is a console that was designed for continuous innovation."
11:06 -- Phil: More than $1 billion spent on Xbox Live on over half a billion pieces of content. Impressive. Over one-third of that has been TV and movies, and they just announced a new partnership with NBC/Universal Studios. 30 Rock, Heroes, etc. will be on Xbox Live. Available starting today.
11:04 -- Phil: Microsoft's now on their regular press conference kick where they talk about how great games are doing compared to music and movies. "Xbox 360 WILL sell more consoles worldwide this generation than PlayStation 3," says Don Mattrick. Wow.
11:02 -- Phil: -- New five-player co-op "Hoard mode" announced, partners take on non-stop waves of enemies. Also Gears of War 2 release date: November 7, 2008.
11:00 -- Phil: -- Lots of showing off new weapons and enemies in this Gears of War 2 demo. Brumak is here as well as the flamethrower. They trap the Brumak and decide to ride it. Wha? End of demo.
10:58 -- Garnett:Gears demo going right into coop play. They're working through some very architecturally detailed ruins of an above ground old city. Building just dramatically collapsed like an express elevator. New flamethrower on display and the fire effect looks pretty sweet -- nice fluidity to the way it engulfed the surroundings.
10:55 -- Garnett:OK, So Peter's decided to prove me wrong, even came out and immediately said, "Fable 2 is done." Hot-spots for bringing your friends into the game looks really cool.Now, Cliff's out to demo Gears 2, sadly no chainsaw prop.
10:53 -- Phil: Peter's showing off his in-game family. How much you want to bet something bad happens to them? His in-game wife loves belching, apparently, also.
10:51 -- Phil: Shows the beginning of the game, starting as a little kid. Going into a demo further in the game now. "Ability to play co-op over live, but we've added a twist to that." You see "orbs" that represent your friends playing their single-player game. You can walk up to the orbs and invite them into your game at an point in the story.
10:49 -- Phil: Peter Molyneux on stage now. "Fable 2 is finished." Another live demo.
10:48 -- Phil: RE5 release date! Friday, March 13, 2009, simultaneous for U.S. and Europe.
10:47 -- Phil: Takeuchi is hurrying them through the demo because they're running out of time. Briefly shows off the chainsaw character before time runs out completely. Boo!
10:46 -- Phil: Coop partner plays as the female character who was introduced a few weeks ago. Demo is switching back and forth between the two players now. The gun-play looks just as visceral and satisfying as it was in RE4.
10:45 -- Phil: Online co-op mode confirmed for RE5!
10:44 -- Phil: Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi on stage now for a live Resident Evil 5 demo, and holy crap it looks good.
10:42 -- Phil: Todd just showed off the "Fat Boy" gun, which shoots a giant bomb at enemies and looks amazing. "Substantial downloadable content for Fallout 3 exclusive to the Xbox 360 and Games for Windows."
10:38 -- Phil: Todd's showing off how you can fight real-time or pause combat to set moves. Powerful headshot totally destroys one enemy. Now he's using a laser rifle to hunt down raiders.
10:37 -- Phil: Live demo started with controller issues. Game looks gorgeous, unsurprisingly. First and third-person showed off. Can use radio in-game to pick up broadcasts. Listening to a broadcast of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" on the in-game radio.
10:36 -- Phil: Todd Howard from Bethesda on stage now. Says we only saw the first half of the trailer, which will be available online and on Xbox Live later. Live demo starting now, sweet.
10:35 -- Phil: Bizarre, 1950s style Fallout 3 teaser in real video. Pretty hilarious ad for the "Vault." "Prepare for the future with Vault-Tec." Moving into a CG shot of the destroyed American landscape in the game.
10:34 -- Phil: "We'll unveil a brand new experience...introduce new games." Let's hope there's some exciting stuff not leaked. "Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5, Fable 2, and Gears of War 2" all going to be shown. Sequel-mania. "Intense games and not for the faint of heart."
10:32 -- Phil: "Biggest franchises are on Xbox 360 -- GTA, BioShock, Halo, etc."
10:31 -- Phil: Don Mattrick taking the stage, finally starting!
10:29 -- Phil: Luke Smith spotting! We can only hope he has a prominent stage presence when the conference starts. "Lego Halo confirmed," from Shane.
10:27 -- Phil: Sam Kennedy's here. We can officially begin the conference now. Also, the party.
10:25 -- Phil: One segment was video clips of people showing of their "Gamefaces" -- the faces they make while playing games. Awkward. Also, they're actually repeating segments right now. As Garnett exclaimed, "They didn't even make enough of these clips to not repeat stuff?!"
10:20 -- Garnett: Yeah, it's pretty funny. They stop these three girls on the street who just "happen" to be Rock Band fans. Girl 1 says that she loves to have Rock Band parties...cut to girls in their apartment rockin' out. Because everyone knows chicks dig Rock Band; it's like an aphrodisiac. Get 'em out on the floor with Rock Band and you're set, Boyee!
10:15 -- Shane: Wow, this "Street Talk" video that's being shown is some straight-up Jay Leno nonsense. Watching old ladies on Venice Blvd. attepmt to decipher what words such as RPG or "newb" could be isn't my brand of comedy. Whoa, they did find 3 moderately hot chicks to talk about Rock Band. Upgrade. Also, seeing Keiji Inafune getting out of a limo earlier gives me hope for a Dead Rising II debut, although I'm sure he's just here to rub salt in the gaping, jaggy, 8-bit hole that is Mega Man 9.
10:13 -- Phil:: They're now running a video called "Xbox 360 Street Talk," where people explain on the street explain how they play Xbox 360 24/7 and also how Microsoft promotes racial unity. Is this what E3 is?
10:07 -- Shane: First off, it's very strange to be seated in a makeshift auditorium in the LACC's West Hall...this used to be the Nintendo booth! Also, I'm questioning Microsoft's decision to allow attendees to write whatever they want on dry erase boards being projected onto huge screens. So far, mostly just self-promotion for various websites (curse you, Jeux France!), magazines (There's a Famitsu Taiwan?), and developers (Hi, Bungie). But how long before we start seeing crudely sketched genitalia or red rings of death?
10:03 -- Phil: We're out of the line now and seated,
Garnett to my side, Shane and Matt Leone behind me. Vampire Weekend was
playing as we walked in. Will be throwing up some Qik videos shortly. Thanks for joining our Live Blog.

All The Haters...Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Unholy_Candyman
can swallow! Sony got owned today. Final Fantasy was the only franchise I played on PS2. Home still hasn't launched and 360 has it. I have netflix already and that was another huge announcement.
johntechPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by papajason5

same games, better price in 360Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Ryuart
with the ff13 release on 360 it means theres not many, if any, reasons to pay for an overpriced console, PS3.
all the 3rd parties games play better online on the 360 and with live becoming more group and friend focused i dont see why you would rather play RE5 in a overpriced console.
LipsPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by lexuspimpin

On FFXIII announcement..Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by panpeter
Considering Square-Exnix's recent news hinting their financial hardship (postponing of FFXIII VS development, etc), I guess it was only matter of time before FFXIII loses its exclusivity. As with some other guy, this saved me $500+.
WOW! What a show!Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by master_morgan_06
Xbox 360 really for the second time in history officially "WON" E3, well done guys cant wait for group chat, Fable 2 and Gears of War 2. These guys know how to blow the competition out of the water. Looking forward to what Nintendo and Sony have to say in their ittty bitty conferences after those EXTREEME announcements. wow I feel sorry for the dummasses who will miss out on this because they are too fanboyish to buy a 360.
DittoPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by halo2master
Ya i was just gonna make a comment about that, Bungie .net has gone nuts, if you look in the bottom right corner there is a timer counting down.
as for the conference as a whole i was kindof disapointed when it came to inovation, but the games look good, of course i went nutz when they introduced FF XIII for the 360.
No Halo at all!Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Video_Gamer_Boy
Not even Halo Wars! Might have something to do with what's going on over at Bungie.net
Wow.Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Noprisoners4Life
You've got your head pretty far up your ass if you think Xbox already won E3 after only seeing Microsofts presentation.
Awesome.Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by theultimate13x
We should all wait to hear more on the Avatar thing as it could turn out pretty cool and we got our Xbox 1 chat back for the most part to boot! Also, the Netflix and FFXIII deals are awesome along with the exclusive downloads and exclusive release windows. All around a good E3 for Microsoft. That definitely had a lot of great things up their sleeve after all the puported leaks. Looking forward to Fall 08 and E3 2009 and beyond. Welcome back Xbox! Winner of E3 2008.
PS3Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Aeneas_Shrike
Well it's nice to know I can get FF13 when it comes out in 2012 for my 360 if I want. But I'll still be getting a PS3 as soon as God of War3 or KH3 comes out for it.
Otherwise all of the games I want are on the 360, not too mention a healthy amount of exclusive dlc. Really, the revamped Bioshock would be the only game coming out soon that I find tempting. This just means my console switch will happen a little later...
my thoughtsPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Nndrew_Ryan11
I thought the beginning of the confrence was awesome, showing demos for all those hardcore games, but then they started announcing stuff about that "xbox experience" or whatever. i dont like how now it looks like Microsoft's tryin' to get more casual gamers. thats what the wiis for
themes / gamerpics?Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by shabs
The new dash looks a little sterile compared to the old one. I wonder if themes will serve as wallpaper in between the options. If not, I don't know how they can justify selling themes and gamerpics for years without any place for them in the new dash.
WowPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Galactic_Barret
Final Fantasy XIII on 360? Thats true devestation to Sony. I can't even get mad too much at this but I seriously feel that the FF name is just tainted on the 360. Just my opinion, but good for 360. Make sure you buy it so M$' moneyhats are justified.
Rock Band "lost"Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by BlindSight
I'm pretty sure Rock Band 2 is only a temporary exclusive, so I don't think Sony completely lost the game. FF13 news is huge though. Microsoft has kicked off E3 very strong. Sony needs a pretty big announcement to stand back up after losing the FF13 exclusivity.
Let's Not Be FanboysPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by EsotericGamer
WTG MSoft, but I want to wait for the rest of the show before calling PS3 (currently outselling 360) or Wii (current leader by a mile in installed base) dead.
There is a place for every system (namely my living room) and Sony and Nintendo aren't going anywhere.
Netflix is the most excitingPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by mheadley
For me the netflix announcement is definitely the most exciting. And as far as the FFXIII announcement - who wants to place bets on whether Microsoft uses it as a platform in the future to push units of a standalone blu-ray player rather than going the multi-disc DVD route.
RB2 is a timed exclusive.Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Noprisoners4Life
Get over yourselves those that are like "zomfg exkloosive rockband on 360 only!!!!!!1111"
Companys want moneyPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Punk187
Xbox and Microsoft Know how to make money and how to sell there for this exclusiveness that Sony/Playstation has will only last for so long untill they know that a game that sold 3 million dollars worth on PS3 could of made 5 million on xbox plus the 3 mill on Ps3, its only time that people get it wen they grow up. noone cares about you they only care about your BUCKS.
Overall a good showingPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by battletoad_boy
SOOO much better than last year for MS. No, I dont care much for the MiiToos "avatars" Nor that "In the Movies" crap (but casuals might eat it up) but come on RE5 gameplay, GOW2, Geormetry 2, Fable 2, Portal EXCLUSIVE Live title, and FF13!!?? Who saw that coming before the tap of the shoulder?
Also being able to share your movies from XBL with friends is a neat idea.
The FF13 is the first truly megaton announcement at E3 in YEARS. Top that Nintendo/Sony...
errrrPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by b1zarr06sic6
where'd the live blog go? O_O
regardless, the news of FF XIII coming to 360 makes me happy =]
FF 13 is epic and everything...Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by illhaveaneggroll
But where the hell is the bungie announcement???
PS3Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by KILLER_TREKKY
After some of those announcements, I almost felt sorry for the PS3, they completely lost Rock Band, that must be like a curb stomp to the PS3. All that along with the new 60GB 360, the price drop, the avatars, and netflix. Sony would have to have something more than Killzone 2 to survive this.
How boringPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by israel
The most exciting news for microsoft is final fantasy 13. It was bound to happen sooner or later but I still am going to buy a ps3 instead. Maybe I will consider and x box someday when thay make an actually interesting game that isn' a first person shooter.
To those who think Sony is shitting themselves...Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by LSSLAVE
Well nothing that really makes me NEED a 360 this year either, Fallout 3 is still coming to PS3, FFXIII is, The Last Remnant is, GHWT is, RE5 is...
See this wasn't that bad of a conference, but the exclusives are what makes it, and Killzone 2 + Resistance 2 look pretty smexy, I am just curious as to how MS gets SO MANY exclusives from Japan O.O
I dunno... I had hoped for more, I guess the motion controller was a joke though, which I am glad because that would only piss me off so much (it pissed me off when Sony did it, copycats suck) but the Avatar thing is still pretty dumb move
PS What????Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by LeeDiddy
I was going to get a PS3 for XIII and MGS4, but.....no need....I think Sony may have something even bigger for their press conference. If they don't....major fails are in store. People may just burn down Sony for giving away another exclusive.
This ISSSSS a major blow to Sony but...Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by J0NESY
I just bought my PS3 last month and although I consider it a BR player that plays MGS4 I will probably opt for the ONE disc version of FF13 unless MS garners some exclusive DLC or something...not that they've done that before or anything...
....People these daysPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Noprisoners4Life
It's funny how you can be tricked with a few words. "Rock Band 2 will be exclusive to the 360." It's been said that the 360 would be getting it earlier than the PS3, for about a month. Big deal. I thought the Conference was boring. Xbox Live is amazing, but other than that I didn't see what the big deal was.
SeriouslyPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Mimsy_De_Porpington
Losing FF13 exclusivity? Sony better have some TREMENDOUS stuff at their conference. I bought my PS3 last month for MGS4. I hope I have reason to use it for something other than Blu-Rays in the coming months (and years)...
Is this MS answer to group chat?Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by TRIPLE_XXX
"New Community menu where you can create a "Live Party" where up to eight Avatars chat and interact together. Sort of like Home Lite. Can share photos, chat, play games, etc."
If so, it'll be just like how it was on the XBOX 1 dashboard xcept it with the use of avatars instead looking at a menu with names I guess.

MAN...Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by EATMEAHX8
Rock Band 2 exclusive? No bullshit with past tracks and downloads? FUCK YAH! Not to mention FFXIII? Damn...this conference was the bomb. I have a PS3, so don't call me a "fanboy," but Sony must be fucking shitting their pants right now!
end of exclusivity?Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by FrodoLives!!!!!
Oh fuck yeah, that just saved me $400.

someone get her off stage
this is terribly plannedPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by cbanks
because if you look past all the bullshit there's gears 2, re5, more portal, netflix ect. but they've spent twice as long on some move malarky and awkward avatars. Also I would love to sing to songs I own, that's why I have a stereo.

Are you kidding me?Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by emils
Way to innovate there M$. Your new dashboard looks awful, taking parts from the other two.
Oh, and I am sure that they will refund all the points that people used on Themes and Gamer Pics, right? Right?
Come on Major Shill, do your job and spin baby spin.

AvatarsPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by panpeter
Besides them looking plain weird, I'd say they should make props from games available to apply to the avatars. I'd like to see my avatar in Gears of War armor and chain saw! Or in white robe of Altair... That'd be terrific and a great way to differentiate from Mii or Home.

RE5Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Shinjukool
RE5 has a cover system now? Seems out of place when zombie-like villagers don't use guns in the first place. March 13,2009 will be a good day nonethless.

E3 Microsoft press confrencePosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by K1LLSWITCH
Gamerscore Blog has leaked Microsoft's announcements in their video RSS feed -- below is a list of games we'll see at the press conference today:
- Fable 2
- Gears of War 2
- Guitar Hero World Tour
- Rockband 2
- Lips
- Uno Rush
- Galaga Legions
- Portal: Still Alive
So looks like a sequel/sidequel to Portal is in the works for Xbox 360, as is another Uno game, and a Galaga sequel. More news to come, including what we can get out of the video that accompanies the leaked post.
holy crapPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Aeneas_Shrike
everyone needs to go watch that bliptv link mentioned below- among the items such as avatars and "360 experience" is a neverending humor of paladino talking about the MS conference in past tense- very funny (at least right now before the conference)

Gamespot's servers have always been slow. It's a wonder anything works over there anymore.
E3 CoveragePosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by K1LLSWITCH
The excitement is unbearable. I've got multiple windows to various gaming sites up and running along with my Xbox 360 connected to Xbox Live to cover E3 this year. I'm super excited for Gears 2 and Left 4 Dead - I wonder about that waggle stick for the 360 ... hmmmm.
there won't be a live stream herePosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by NeverInUrDreams
They would have promoted it if there were. Meanwhile G4's stream is choppy and I can't even get gamespot to load.
Leaked videoPosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Silverthorne
This seems to cover all of the stuff that is SUPPOSED to be anounced within the next hour.

Link below is on gamespot has the live streaming once it starts if 1up doesn't, but I imagine 1up will add it soon.
Ha ha!Posted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by MSUStud911
I didn't realize until after I'd posted my response that you were talking about a live video stream either. My bad. A LiveBlog is perfect for me since I'm at work. I'm sure there will be plenty of video to see after the fact.

LivePosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by MSUStud911
I think the stream will go live when it gets closer to the conference time. If you want to see a lot of babble about nothing from the conference, Kotaku's Liveblog is already going.
E3 coveragePosted: Jul 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by K1LLSWITCH
Yes, I agree, a live stream would be nice.

Secretary-General's video message to conferences on ending sexual violence [first aired in Zagreb on 29 May; then London, 11-13 June 2014]
Zagreb, Croatia, 29 May 2014
I thank you for supporting a major UN goal: ending sexual violence in conflict. I commend all leaders and activists engaged on this issue.
Rape is a cruel weapon of war that is as devastating as any bullet and as destructive as any bomb.
It ravages victims and their families. It destroys communities. It undermines security, reconciliation and development.
Sexual violence in conflict has been called the world's oldest and least-condemned crime. Now we must reject the excuse that rape in wartime is inevitable. It can be stopped.
The United Nations is working to stamp out sexual violence in conflict while supporting victims.
Political will is growing. Governments, communities, activists and survivors are standing up to say enough is enough. I join them in declaring that the bodies of innocent people should never be used as battlegrounds.
We have an international legal framework to hold accountable all those who commit, command or condone these crimes.
We must use these tools and turn pledges into actions.
We must also ensure that survivors receive health care, services and reparations to rebuild their lives. We must support communities in their struggle to heal and create a better future.
Let us work together to realize the great vision of a world free of sexual violence in conflict.

When a loved one passes away, friends and family often gather to share memories and honor that person. Creating a photo memorial to display at the wake or funeral not only reminds guests of the person who has died, but also creates a lasting keepsake for the family. The photo memorial is a tangible reminder of a life well lived, and if the deceased was elderly, it may provide some younger family members with a first glimpse of their relative as a child or young adult. Creating the tribute together as a family is also a good way to come together before the memorial service and share memories of a loved one.
Things You'll Need
- Photos
- Memorabilia
- Scanner
- Printer
- Foam Board
- Card stock
- Photo corners
- Glue
Collect photographs of the deceased. Look through his photo albums, your own personal albums and ask close friends and family of the deceased for photographs. Choose photographs that capture the deceased throughout multiple stages of life, and show his interests, personality and close relationships.
Make copies of the photographs to preserve the originals. Use your home scanner and computer to print copies, or visit a retailer with a photo reproduction machine. Make corrections to the photos if necessary.
Purchase foam core boards to display the photos. Foam core will hold up better than regular poster board on a display easel.
Add the person's name and years of life to the top of the board; print it on a sheet of paper, or use die cut letters or stickers. Include a message as well, if desired, such as "You Will Be Missed" or "A Life Well Lived."
Arrange the photos on the display board. How you display the photos is up to you: you can create a chronological timeline of the deceased's life; designate a single board for each topic, such as family or hobbies; or arrange the photos in a collage covering all ages and phases.
Mat the photos on cardstock for a finished look. Use photo corners, available in the scrapbooking section of any craft or hobby store, to add definition. Adhere the photos to the board.
Design labels for the photos. The labels can be as simple as a listing of the year and place of the photo, or tell a story of the photo and express a memory of the deceased.
