Dining Out: Maverick (San Francisco, CA)
Article Digest:
Already named San Francisco's best new restaurant by San Francisco Magazine, I take my first step into Maverick American Eatery and Wine Bar to see if it
will hold it's reputation.
Arriving around seven pm on a Friday night, they had a table available and I took my seat. There are only twenty or so tables in the restaurant making the maximum capacity no more than seventy five. Although the restaurant is very compact the noise level was moderate and the ambiance mellow. Lined with soft
red color walls and a small design of a mountain range repeating all the way down, it made this already cozy atmosphere much more comfortable.
The menu is diverse throwing out classics, with a combination of new and unique dishes to satisfy the ever so curious diner. Offering anything from a sweet
corn salad or fried green tomatoes to start; to a roasted pumpkin steak with a tomatillo sauce and cumin crème fresche.
For my first course I chose the grilled squid salad with grilled fennel and a sweet lemon vinaigrette. The squid was not to tough, firm enough to compliment
the softness and absorb the smokiness of the grilled fennel. Contrasting flavors of sweet and sour in the lemon vinaigrette, made the balance of this dish a very enjoyable first course.
Next up was a second course of a wild mushroom soup. Potato was used instead of cream as to keep the body of the soup light and the flavors of the mushroom
forward. Just a slight touch of chives and a little olive oil made this dish simple yet enjoyable.
For the entrée, I went with a recommended special for the evening , a pan seared fluke fish on a bed of grits with diced corn and zucchini and a warm bacon vinaigrette. The flavors of this dish give you a down home feel, but the presentation of the dish pushed it up a notch for me. The warm bacon vinaigrette was the base of the dish with the grits on top holding up the
filets of fluke fish and the vegetables on either side. Creativity of presentation and understanding the consumer allow this dish to either be nice and light or warm and filling. Very well done allowing the diversity of the dish to create a lasting impression.
The food is definitely enough to make my visit to Maverick a success, but the wine program is also outstanding. A mostly American selection was
complimented by just a few dominant grapes from around the world. I am a lover of the Italian reds, and was excited to see the three most desirable Italian reds offered by the bottle, Barolo, Barbaresco and Brunello di Montalcino. Spanish and French wines are also available. There are a variety of wines offered by the glass and by the half glass making it fun to mix and match. One nice touch not seen at most places was the wines by the glass were poured at the table allowing one to see the bottle, find out a little more information on the wine and creating a nice personable feel. Nice touch!
Overall the dining experience at Maverick American Eatery and Wine bar was very enjoyable. The concept of down home cooking done with a fine dining twist
makes Maverick American Eatery and Wine Bar a step above most, creating a destination for everybody in the city of San Francisco.

Gap's Styld.by Catalogue
We styled pieces from Gap's spring collection by mixing rock 'n' roll leather with springtime brights for a new cool girl uniform. This preppy pairing (a gingham button-down and cuffed coral trousers) turns edgy with a leather jacket, while unexpected accents (leopard-print heels and a mint green belt) give the look an appealing dose of irreverence.

|Giants | Brandon Crawford will sit against some southpaws
Mon, 31 Mar 2014 18:05:46 -0700
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said SS Brandon Crawford will sit against some left-handed pitchers, with 2B Joaquin Arias serving as the shortstop during those games, and SS Brandon Hicks working at second base. "I need to hit better against left-handed pitchers. I know that," Crawford said Monday, March 31. "I'm going to go out there and do my best, and hopefully I have good at-bats. I know (Bochy) is trying to put the best lineup on the field. I want to be part of the best lineup."
Crawford worked with spring instructor Barry Bonds during the spring, and credits Bonds with helping him to keep his front shoulder closed, which allows him to see breaking pitches longer and outside fastballs better.

|Giants | Marco Scutaro to open on DL?
Mon, 24 Mar 2014 14:02:30 -0700
San Francisco Giants 2B Marco Scutaro (back) looked good swinging the bat Monday, March 24, and the team will wait to make a decision on whether he'll need to open the season on the disabled list. INFs Joaquin Arias, Ehire Adrianza and Brandon Hicks can fill in if Scutaro has to miss any time. "We've got to be pretty certain he's turned the corner," manager Bruce Bochy said. "There's too much to lose. We won't do that until we think he's ready and he could go deep into games and get some at-bats."
Fantasy Tip: It's probably safe to assume that Scutaro won't be ready at this rate. Arias is the likely candidate to see most of the at-bats in Scutaro's absence. Adrianza is a deep sleeper for NL-only leagues if Scutaro's back injury is more serious and requires surgery down the road.

|Giants | Ehire Adrianza in mix for utility spot
Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:19:14 -0700
San Francisco Giants 2B Ehire Adrianza has always been a sure-handed defensive infielder, but his bat has been slow to develop in the minors. He's a switch hitter competing for a roster spot this spring and has a career average of .248 in the minor leagues. Adrianza finished the 2013 season at Triple-A Fresno, hitting .310 in 45 games. He's impressed this spring, and manager Bruce Bochy called him "the most impressive guy in camp so far." As of Wednesday, March 12, he was 5-for-19 (.263) with two home runs. "I've seen power; I've seen him drive the ball at times in the minor leagues, but just not consistently," assistant general manager Bobby Evans said. After those adjustments, Evans said, "he was hitting the ball hard not soft line drives and it showed in the box scores." Adrianza is competing with INFs Joaquin Arias, Nick Noonan and Brandon Hicks. Adrianza played almost exclusively at shortstop in the minors, but he's looked adequate at second base in camp.
Fantasy Tip: The Giants are bringing Marco Scutaro (back) along slowly, and there's a decent chance he begins on the DL. At his age, too, he'll likely need to be spelled frequently throughout the season. Adrianza is a real sleeper option in NL-only leagues.

|Giants | Concern for Marco Scutaro
Fri, 07 Mar 2014 15:15:11 -0800
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy is worried about the progress of 2B Marco Scutaro (back), who is at least another week away from playing in spring games. "If you ask me at the end of next week and he's not playing or close to playing, we'll have to have another plan here," said Bochy. Scutaro started taking groundballs last week and did soft toss Friday, March, but he's "still a few days away from live BP." The team would like Scutaro to receive at least 30 to 35 at-bats in camp. INFs Tony Abreu, Nick Noonan, Brandon Hicks and Ehire Adrianza are receiving extra playing time on the infield as a result.

July 2015 Answers to three simple questions can help a busy health care provider flag a teen's problematic use of alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana.
October 2009
Describes research revealing that for up to 6 weeks after smokers quit, their brain cells have more nicotine-binding receptors than nonsmokers, which may explain the struggle to quit.
September 2017 In a clinical trial, N-acetylcysteine did not help adults reduce their cannabis use, despite having been effective for adolescents in a previous trial. The results indicated that if adults are able to benefit from the medication, they will likely require a different treatment regimen than adolescents.
April 2012 Women with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who abused drugs responded better to substance abuse treatment after their PTSD symptoms improved, according to a recent study, which also found that reductions in substance abuse did not ease PTSD severity
September 2012 New vaccines that aim to promote recovery from cocaine and heroin abuse showed promise in animal testing. Both vaccines induced rats' immune system to produce high titers of antibodies that inhibit the target drug from reaching the brain. The rats' behaviors when given access to the target drug indicated that the vaccines reduced the reinforcing effects that, in recovering people, can cause lapses to turn into relapses.
December 2012 The immune system has an extraordinary ability to recognize compounds foreign to the body and eliminate them. NIDA-sponsored scientists are working to harness this ability to create vaccines that will protect individuals against the psychogenic and addictive effects of abused drugs. This animation shows one of the most promising strategies, which has already yielded partial success in producing effective vaccines against nicotine, cocaine, and other drugs.
November 2009 Reports animal study findings on development of an antibody fragment that rapidly removes methamphetamine from the brain and discusses implications for treatment of overdose.
December 2009 Describes findings of a study revealing that images of heroin preparation and injection can incite craving and excite brain areas associated with reward-seeking even in methadone-maintained patients.
April 2012 Expanded use of antiretroviral therapy in British Columbia reduced the spread of HIV among injection drug users and others in the province.
December 2008 Reports on study results indicating a medication prescribed for schizophrenia and manic phases of bipolar disorder shows promise as a cocaine addiction treatment.

Survey results published in Weed Technology indicate that U.S. farmers in general do not feel a sense of urgency when it comes to developing a deeper understanding of the herbicide glyphosate and its relationship to weed resistance.
What makes this study, "U.S. Farmer Awareness of Glyphosate-Resistant Weeds and Resistance Management Strategies" (2009, Vol. 23:308-312), especially important is that it is one of only a few that have compiled information on a broad scale about farmers' perspectives on weed management in glyphosate-resistant (GR) crops.
Many of the surveyed farmers, who grow GR crops in six states, reported that they were not very concerned about the emergence of GR weeds. However, the more often glyphosate is used, the more likely GR weeds will evolve. In fact, many weeds are already resistant, and this has and will continue to have economic ramifications.
The farmers also tended to believe they could reduce the likelihood of GR weed proliferation most effectively by following the glyphosate label's instructions for use. Fewer understood that tillage and crop rotation are other effective strategies. The farmers' position stemmed from a belief that better herbicides would soon be available to treat GR weeds. However, because of the time commitment and high costs associated with developing these products, they will probably not be available for several more years.
Although the farmers used a variety of publications as sources to keep informed of optimal weed management strategies, inconsistent information presented in these publications may compromise the effectiveness of the results. Therefore, it is critical that life science companies, universities, farmer groups, and the government work together to create and disseminate dependable information about the best herbicide resistance management.
Farmers must not be complacent when it comes to managing GR weeds. Their long-term success depends on appreciating and responding to the complexities of these ever-evolving invaders.

However, it occurs to me that I cannot access my backup files unless I use this software whereas with a simple copy backup I could just access the external drive like normal.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=204307\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I keep my data on external drives. I use a simple application that backs up new files to the drive, and ignores old ones -- there are plenty of such apps out there, mine happens to be LaCie's Silverkeeper (only because it came with an early external drive.)[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=204314\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
One of my students had an external drive that used a proprietary encrypting program to keep her backups "secure." When her computer crashed, she lost the key and after many weeks of trying to contact the company, finally learned that she would never be able to recover the encrypted files
On my Macs I use ChronoSync to create mirror back ups of my date files. I use several 750GB OWC external FW800/400 drives to create redundant back ups. I rotate a set of back up drives weekly through a safe deposit box at my bank to have a copy of critical data and all photos and videos off site in case of a fire.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=209079\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I also have a 1.4TB drive on my network to create on going back ups using Apple's Time Machine.
Nick, there are definitely benefits (including peace of mind) to having the backed-up data directly accessible. Not just for restoration, but also for when you just want to have a look at what's changed.Similar to my own setup. A couple of questions though: How often do you update the backups? How far back do you keep the backups? (i.e. how many sets of disks do you have?)If your oldest backup is a week old, then if there was a problem (e.g. a software bug that corrupted files) you'd only have a week to notice it. I do a lot of testing of beta software here so I'm particularly aware of this.I keep most of my images on RAID storage (except for those on laptop internal drives) and mirror these to a set of external disks at least weekly (these are stored on-site but off-line). Every month we swap this with another set stored off-site. So we have RAID protection of files during the week, an on-site copy that's up to a week old, and an off-site copy that's up to a month old.Everyone will have different requirements (affected by factors such as volume of files created/modified daily, value of the data, etc). But I'm curious: how many people here would regard what I'm doing as underkill/overkill/just-right for their own setups?Instead of weekly/monthly cycles, would you use daily/weekly (or even daily/weekly/monthly) cycles? Or something else?We have networked Time Machine ( TM) volumes on a NAS box for some machines, but use external drives for mobile TM on some of the laptops. For instance on my own laptop I use an external 320GB drive in two partitions: one for TM and one for mirroring the media folders from the internal drive so I can maintain two copies when on the road.Do you maintain backups of the TM data? We're still refining the best procedures for mirroring those to partitions on disks which are part of the backup sets.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=209107\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Shrek the Third is your typical movie licensed video game. It follows the story of the movie, features characters from the movie, looks kind of like the movie and is simple enough that even the movie's youngest fans could play through it. Sadly this means it's not a good game.
Despite various puzzles (that really only count as puzzles for lack of a better word) and numerous playable characters, Shrek the Third is nothing more than a very basic button bashing beat-em-up. Whether you're Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss in Boots, Arthur or Sleeping Beauty, you can bash through enemies using only a single button.
You'll encounter the odd platformer-like jump, often made frustrating by an awkwardly positioned fixed camera, but even these minor set-backs won't stop you breezing through the entire single-player game in under six hours - more experienced players will likely find that number closer to four.
For what it's worth, each character has a special move meter that is filled up by collecting fairy dust, dropped by defeated enemies. Shrek and Fiona each have a super special move that can be triggered if the meter is completely full, causing time to slow down. The other characters each have themed attacks, such as Sleeping Beauty's move that makes the enemies fight amongst themselves.
As is the case with many beat-em-ups, you're often locked into rooms until you've defeated the enemy onslaught. This isn't the case all the time though, meaning you're frequently able to run through large sections of a level, dodging enemies along the way. It's hardly good game design, and also means you'll miss many of the items required if you want to complete each of the secondary quests.
Extras wise you get a handful of simple mini-games, such as a target shooting game and obstacle laden ship-based curling, plus a tower destruction game that also crops up twice in the main game. They're mostly games you'll play once and then forget about, but the tower destruction game is surprisingly fun with two players. On the 360 you've also got Achievement points, although getting them all probably isn't worth the effort.
Visually Shrek the Third looks acceptable but is by no means a stunning effort. On PS2 and Wii the game looks like a fairly middle of the road title, and the same is true on the 360, even though it features significantly better models and texturing. Bizarrely the characters often appear to be moving with significantly fewer frames of animation than they should be, giving them an old-skool appearance. The sound-alikes used through the game also vary in quality, from barely noticeable to way off the mark.
Shrek the Third's main problem is its complete lack of spark. It's bound to please youngsters eager for more of their favourite loveable green ogre, but it's really nothing more than a cynical cash in. Surprisingly it's not the worst movie tie-in of the summer, but that's not saying a great deal.

ATLANTIC CITY – The boil-water advisory in place in Atlantic City as a result of Hurricane Sandy has been lifted, Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin announced today.
The boil-water advisory was lifted after tests of the city's water supply came back showing no evidence of bacteria.
"This is an important step as we begin the slow recovery of our storm-battered coastline," Martin said. "Residents and businesses can now be assured that the water provided by the city is safe for consumption."
Gov. Chris Christie also announced today that he is rescinding an order that closed Atlantic City casinos in preparation for Hurricane Sandy, while also lifting the mandatory evacuation order for Atlantic City residents.
The Governor was notified by Division of Gaming Enforcement Director David Rebuck that the order reinstating certificates of operation for the 12 casinos was signed within minutes of the Governor's lifting of the mandatory evacuation order for the residents of Atlantic City, originally issued on Oct. 27.
The city issued the precautionary boil-water advisory after the Atlantic City Municipal Utilities Authority's treatment plant in Pleasantville experienced flooding during the storm. A large tank that provides disinfection in the treatment process had become flooded. But tests taken by the Atlantic City Utilities Authority and reviewed by the DEP confirmed there are no problems with the water.
The water utility is advising customers to flush their water systems by running faucets for three to five minutes. The utility also recommends that customers empty and clean automatic ice makers and chillers, drain and refill water heaters if the temperature had been set to below 113 degrees, and run water softeners and cartridge filters through several regeneration cycles. Water reservoirs in tall buildings should be drained and refilled.

It's been no less than an exhausting and frustrating day at work. You
walk in the door, and while taking off your coat, you notice your home
not quite the way you left it 8 hours ago. Your afternoon sitter
seems to be fleeing the scene (you don't blame her) as assorted
crayons, toys and scattered pots and pans catch your eye - tell-tale
signs of "terrible twos" and a mischievous action-packed day. There's
no time to unwind or clean up now, as you begin preparing dinner
that's already behind schedule. Then, like radar, he senses you're
Suddenly you're pounced upon by a 35 lb. ball of energy who just
emerged from a recharging nap. And all he wants to do is play and
guard your absolutely undivided attention until he's out of steam
again - though it might take 'til midnight.
Even at 2, he knows how to pull your strings. Upon sensing your
slightest divergence from him as your sole focus, the noise and chaos
only a 2-year-old can muster begins to rapidly and progressively
As the tension builds, your temples tighten to a dull aching throb and
your fuse rapidly shortens. Yet rather than exploding or coming apart
at the seams, you take a deep breath and proceed to the medicine
cabinet. Yet it's not Tylenol you're after - it's an antidepressant.
You remove a pill from the childproof container, fill a glass with
water, sit down on your bed and place the pill - in your child's
While you probably related to this story initially, the surprise twist
at the end isn't a product of fiction. According to a recent study in
the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), there is a
shocking rise in the use of stimulants, Ritalin, antidepressants and
other antipsychotic drugs in 2- to 4-year-olds. According to Julie
Magno Zito, University of Maryland pharmacologist, and the study's
principal investigator, these findings aren't altogether surprising.
An article published in 1994 cited by the investigators disclosed 3000
Prozac prescriptions for children under the age of 1.
Frankly I'm not surprised, yet I am disgusted.
As a neurologist, I'm having great difficulty grasping the medical
rationale behind these prescriptions. Let's take a moment to focus on
Attention Deficit Disorder. Are not all toddlers poorly focused and
distractible? Doesn't every toddler have a short attention span?
Isn't evolving sensory input and recognition likely to overwhelm any
child? Isn't this "normal" behavior?
If you don't agree, just watch any 1-2-year-old walking down the
street. That child sees every furrow in the sidewalk, every weed
growing through the cracks, everything and I mean "everything" that
moves including ants, bugs, leaves and the like. What I'm describing
is no less than the magic of childhood¾ to be fully aware, carefree
and so open to all that exists.
I've also observed children who have the ability to read by the age of
3. Such precocious feats often convince parents they're blessed with
a budding genius. All signs point in that direction especially when
the supposed prodigy is compared with other children in kindergarten
and first grade. Yet by age 7, many of these kids seem to settle into
mediocrity¾ an enormous letdown for proud parents. Some actually
receive neurological consultations to determine the medical basis for
such a performance decline. The results, however, are often not what
the parents want to hear. Simply stated, the other children caught
So if a toddler can't sit still long enough to learn the alphabet or
to read, should we place him/her on Ritalin because we expect more?
Should we prescribe antidepressants for 3-year-olds who demonstrate
attention-getting behaviors like acting up, being uncooperative or
pouting? Should we attempt to shape a child's behavior with drugs
because we don't have time for proper parenting?
If you've answered "yes" to any of the above questions, I
can tell you where the problem lies, and it's not with your child.
It's time we as a society realize that children are simply children.
They need abundant attention, nurturing and love even when it's
inconvenient for us. While rare exceptions do exist, drug therapy
used to control behavior in toddlers is a poor reflection on our
society and the medical profession.
To simplify matters greatly, consider the following: Childhood is
special. Children are gifts from God. We are responsible. Next time
your 2-year old acts up, try a hug instead of a drug - Mind Over Matter!

The LUX is the best-equipped model, adding a taller axle ratio, a higher GVWR, upgraded exterior treatments, leather seating, adjustable pedals, a Bose audio system, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. All Ascenders now include side-impact air bags and the 4.2L V6 has been tweaked to deliver better fuel economy and reduced emissions. Horsepower has dropped from 291 to 285, while torque is reduced by 1 lb-ft to 276 lb-ft. Two-tone exterior colors have changed as well.
Competitive comparison
Plenty of power from GM-sourced 4.2L V6; rugged truck chassis; lots of cargo room; good seven-year/75,000-mile powertrain warranty; competitive pricing.
Special features for 2008
The 2008 Isuzu Ascender should be considered a bargain midsize SUV. Based on the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and other GM midsize SUV offerings, the Ascender offers a cavernous 80.1 cubit feet of cargo space. Its 5,800 pound towing capacity ranks near the top of the class, as does its seven-year/75,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Relatively unchanged this model year, the 2008 Isuzu Ascender maintains its reputation as a capable SUV offered in S, LS and LUX trims with a 285 horsepower 4.2-liter inline 6-cylinder mated to a 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission as standard. The Ascender offers seating capacity for up to five passengers and a nice list of standard equipment, including front and side-head airbags, ABS brakes, auto on/off headlights, daytime running lights, traction control, dual zone air conditioning, cruise, keyless entry, power controls, lumbar seats and AM/FM/CD audio.

Ryan Dempster, pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, hit the New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez with a pitch at his first at-bat Sunday night.
The fastball glanced off Rodriguez's elbow bad and deflected into his back, causing the Yankee to stumble, WNBC-TV, New York reported.
The incident led to Yankees manager Joe Girardi running out onto the field at Boston's Fenway Park and caused both benches and bullpens to clear as players rushed the field. Girardi argued with plate umpire Brian O'Nora and the manager was eventually ejected.

13 Random MMA Fighters Who Somehow Have Their Own Wikipedia Pages
(This guy getting punched out by Jacob Volkmann has a Wikipedia page, yet Ilir Latifi does not. I *dare* you to identify him without using Google.)
By Seth Falvo
Much to my surprise, UFC light-heavyweight Ilir Latifi still does not have a Wikipedia page. Despite earning a first-round submission victory at UFC Fight Night 37 and headlining an event — never mind how random that match felt — Latifi still has to settle for being a footnote on the pages of the cards he has fought on. That's pretty ridiculous, considering that Wikipedia doesn't exactly have high standards for page-worthy topics. (See: Chess-related deaths, uncombable hair syndrome.) CagePotato.com has its own page. John Morgan of MMA Junkie has his own page as well. Oh yeah, and so do these 13 MMA fighters, arranged in alphabetical order:

Notable Achievements: Jobbed to James Terry on two different Strikeforce undercards. Almost worthy of a spot in MMA's Weird-Stomach-Tattoo Hall of Fame. Almost.
According to Wikipedia: "He is the current WSCA (Wyoming Sports Combat Association) Welterweight Champion."

We've seen various news articles, editorials and blog posts throughout the HD generation of consoles citing the demise of PC gaming as a direct consequence of the efforts of Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft.
We all know the reasons why this appears to be the case. Consoles offer a longer term, cheaper initial hardware investment and the bulk of the industry now caters towards making games for PS3, 360 and Wii as opposed to the unfairly neglected PC.
I believe however, a relative decline in PC gaming fortunes may also be due to another variable often overlooked in the debate. I'm talking of course, of Apple and Macs.
Yes, Apple has been the computing story of the last decade. While PCs still outsell Macs globally, with each iteration of the iMac and Macbook families, Apple's computer business is gobbling market share away from Windows based PC platforms. Apple is now the world's largest consumer electronics company, and has outstripped Microsoft in market capitalisation.
In fact, I'm typing this blog on a brand spanking new iMac, and long ago abandoned PCs for Macs way back in 2005.
The significance of this is that Apple computers are not traditionally gaming machines, and are in-fact poor gaming machines compared to PCs. I used to be a heavy PC game, but once I gave in to Mac-land, I literally stopped playing PC games, simply because I didn't have a computer capable of playing any of them.
Yes, a full two years before I bought my PS3 (my primary gaming machine), I was using a Mac that could not use games. So I turned in favour of consoles by default. I simply didn't own a computer that ran games, and my decision to get a PS3 had as much if not more to do with owning a Mac than it did with Sony's promises of next generation bliss.
I think of my friends, all at one time PC gamers, now Mac users all and all have PS3's and a few 360s. Macs are becoming, and are tipped to become, the dominant player in the home computer market, which PC gaming relies upon for survival.
So is it that the rise of Apple also has a direct link to, or at least a strong correlation with, the decline in PC gaming? I believe so. As more gamers turn to the gaming wasteland of Apple computing for whatever reason, they are also finding themselves looking for gaming solutions in a different machine, and thus the popularity of consoles.
I'd love to hear people's thoughts?
Uhh, PC sales are up year over year. By a lot. There's no demise. It seems like PC gaming is slowly beginning to experience a renaissance.
Sales are mostly increasing the DD sector through private companies like Valve's Steam. These sales cannot be tracked externally and do not go through the normal retail channels, meaning you can't just log on to VGChartz and get an accurate representation.
You probably should've researched this a little before you wrote it.
The death of pc gaming has been exaggerated for over a decade, it's simply not the case. Every year we have articles about pc gaming dying, and yet it's still here alive and kicking.
As for Apple, well, I'm not sure what you are trying to say really. Have a look at the store and see what games are available -
You can look on Steam as well if you want -
Now look at Steam and see what's available on pc -
There's tons of games available on pc, while on Mac there's a very limited selection. I think you're getting way ahead of yourself thinking that Apple are getting any kind of hold on home computer gaming.
bunfighter that was the most EPIC FAIL post I have ever read. PC gaming is growing fast, not declining. Your a complete tool, seek professional help immediately.
For the graphic intensive, "core" games, I'd say it's not Mac-vs-PC that's killing it, it's Laptop-vs-Desktop.
When most people look for a computer these days, they look for a laptop. They just need a productivity/writing/internet machine, and they like to sit at the coffee shop and use it.
Hardly anyone wants a PC tower that has to sit on the same desk in the same room of the house, and that's what you'll need if decide you want to be serious about gaming.

Does anyone else not like the fact the latest posts are now all together In "latest posting" with no indication of when they were posted.
I personally would rather spend as little time on the computer as possible and the way it used to be was better because at least if you come to the site on a daily basis you could easily get to today's postings that are relevant to your interests.
I now find I have to open up more threads just to have a look only to find there is nothing new posted
The older I get the more I realise time is so limited and dont wont to waste more than I have to

Subsidiaries meets Manufacturing: India & China focus
With a view to increasing the competitiveness of small companies, working alongside commercial efforts to ensure widespread distribution through a growing number of distributors and sales forces with a direct presence, a workshop for all of our branches was organised at our Indian factory in Bangalore and our Chinese factory in Dongguan.
The meeting was attended by all of the biggest commercial and product branches from America, Canada, Britain, France, Spain, China and India, with representatives from Australia and Asia, along with the respective Brand Managers from the leading Indian, Chinese and Italian branches.
The aims of these days of targeted workshops were various: Sergio Mina delivered a presentation to all branches working with the Bangalore and Dongguan factories, and participants also attended a presentation introducing them to the current product range, which also identified the most appealing solutions for new markets across Europe. In addition, the workshops addressed EC commissioning timings and product portfolio definition, as well as providing a series of technical tips to increase competitiveness across our entry level ranges, defining pricing and checkpoint distribution, as well as suggesting next steps to increase the reach of the sales network, and finally, establishing initial purchase commitments.
The event, reiterates Federico Broccoli, Biesse Group's Branches Division Director, "will be the first in a long series; we needed to accelerate the process of knowledge acquisition, as well as the integration of our manufacturing sites in India and China with branch offices, who increasingly need to have access to top-of-the-range products, which are ever-more competitive, in order to deal more effectively with Chinese and Asian manufacturers creating business relationships with our distributors, establishing themselves within markets which have historically always preferred European machinery".
The unstoppable process of globalization, continues Broccoli, "means that is imperative for Biesse to make greater use of manufacturing in India and China, which offers increasingly fast, integrated service to the West as well as the East, via centrally-driven trade and manufacturing".

The latest in ultrasound technology will benefit the Pro-life cause: 3-D holograms of children in the womb. [1]
A two front war on atheism? [2]
Are biblical creationists picking up the pace of their evangelism?[3]
Is a pack of ravenous biblical creation dire wolves on the prowl ripping big chunks of meat out of their Darwinist bunkum prey?
CBS News doesn't like one of its own making a thorough investigation into the Benghazi affair: [4]
Let's see how liberal pro-choicers spin this absolute insanity: [5]
Cal Thomas writes about the taxation of internet sales and the Marketplace Fairness Act bill being proposed. [6]
Violent video games, which liberal websites defend and promote despite the games' obvious connection with the Newtown massacre, continue to rack up billion-dollar profits. [7]
Ruth Bell Graham once said that if God does not judge America, He must apologize to Sodom. Apart from whether a man (or woman) can judge God, Mrs. Graham had a point. [8]
3 humorous creation vs. evolution events. [9]
Liberal "psychic" Sylvia Browne, the perennial guest of the Montel Williams Show, predicted in 2004 that Amanda Berry was dead. Yet she clams up after Amanda is rescued from a house of horror a couple days ago. [10]
Uh oh, liberal claptrap at HuffPost is not so great after all for AOL: "AOL Inc. (AOL), the digital publisher that owns the Huffington Post and TechCrunch, fell the most in five months after reporting first-quarter profit that missed estimates." [11]
The biblical creation attack dog is metamorphosizing into a fierce and tenacious dire wolf predator. Darwinism will be ripped to shreds. [12]
WHat does "honoring the office" of President of the United States mean, when the current officeholder behaves dishonorably? Theodore Roosevelt had an answer. [13]
Does Barack Obama love being a "divider-in-chief"? Or has he laid a deeper plan? A Tea Party activist examines all the actions of this de facto President and sees an ominous parallel. [14]
Will the Benghazi attack hearings change the game for Barack Obama? Or for Hillary Clinton? [15]
Liberal double standard, as they held Mitt Romney to a different standard than Al Gore, despite how the global warming alarmist Gore is now richer than Romney.[16]

"The 'House of David': Don't be quick to fault the Bible!" by Bishop Bert [18]
Tamerlan Tsarnaev died from "blunt trauma to his head and torso," presumably by being driven over by his own fleeing brother. [19] Yet still no word about drugs that were likely found in pot-smoker Dzhokhar's system.

If you are not a biblical creationist, you are behaving illogically.[21]
"Even if all the data point to an intelligent designer, such an hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic". - Evolutionist Dr. Scott Todd [22]
Naturalistic/atheistic thinkers, no matter how much they would like to think that it has lasted forever, inevitably come up against the fact that the very laws of the universe point to a supernatural beginning.[23]

Record-setting May snowstorm blankets several states, further disproving the liberal hoax that there is a crisis of global warming. [30]

"How to Not stone a Rebellious Son: Reforming according to the Word of God" by Bishop Bert [32]

Liberal global warming scam is proven false, again: "more than 1,100 snowfall records and 3,400 cold records have been set across the nation so far in April." [50] That's not the global warming crisis that Al Gore and other liberals claimed.
Why won't the Republican Party of New Jersey even adopt the national Republican platform? A Tea Party activists sounds a RINO alert. [51]

Kermit Gosnell's trial may go to the jury this week. But does he really do anything that abortion advocates would not want to see done? [53]

Iconic flood footage thrust back into limelight
FLOODWATERS were rising around him, pushing cars like toys down East Ck and he did the unthinkable.
A man, as yet unidentified, rushed to let air out of his 4WD tyres so he could drive it away to safety.
Now that footage, often listed as among the most iconic of the 2011 floods, is being featured in a United States television show.
The Weather Channel posted a snippet of its show "Weather Gone Viral".
The preview has been viewed more than 414,000 times.
"A flash flood rushes towards a parking lot where one man attempts to save his car," the Weather Channel wrote.
"Follow all the action on the season two premiere of Weather Gone Viral this Sunday!"
A presenter says: "If you've had years of drought, that ground may be just like concrete, so you have extra runoff".
Another says: "As cars are being swept away, one man tries to save his SUV".
"This is obviously something never to do, that water is moving really quickly and six inches of moving water is enough to knock you off your feet.
"The river becomes a monster, taking away nearly every car in the parking lot. And there's nothing you can do about it."
Helen Chapman recognised the footage straightaway, writing: "Yes! This is my hometown. Toowoomba, Australia. January 10, 2011."
"I don't even have to look it up. That is how etched this day is into everyone's minds. People still talk about it now. "Where were you when the flood hit?".
Ms Chapman said the strangest thing was that Toowoomba was nowhere near the ocean.
"There are no major rivers close by. Just two little creeks fed by a spring.
"Plus, the town is up in the mountains. It had rained for a month straight prior to this.
"The ground was so waterlogged. And then on January 10, 2011, an intense rainstorm came in. And stopped right over the top of Toowoomba. It absolutely pelted.
"And the underground spring and watertable just couldn't take it any more. This water in this picture killed a mother and her son two kilometres upstream. East and West creeks met and smashed through the centre of town, taking out all the bridges on the way.
"The water went down into Murphys Creek, a small community outside of town, and from there crashed down into the next little town, Grantham. Grantham was completely destroyed.
"The death toll from that day is officially I think around 20 from our area, but unofficially I've heard, its much higher.
"There are still people missing from that day. Toowoomba was cut off from the rest of the country for almost two weeks. The only way in or out was via helicopter. It was so eerie.
"Toowoomba is the largest inland city in Australia, and a major highway out west. And there was no traffic at all. No trucks as all the highways up and down the mountains had been washed away. Only rescue and army helicopters flying looking for survivors.
"Toowoomba has repaired most of the damage. They are still working on parts of the creek near the railway bridge. The majority of Grantham has been relocated.
"Yep, they shifted a whole town. When you drive through Grantham now and see the markers where the water got up to, you just can't even comprehend it. There are flood memorials now in both towns, and still flowers at the intersection where the mother and her boy were swept away. Donna Rice was her name."
She advised people to "Google" Toowoomba floods or Grantham floods for more footage and pictures.

Know how to handle the heat
As temperatures rise this week, the Minneapolis Department of Health and Family Support reminds folks to learn how to handle the heat. Heat-related illness happens when the body isn't able to cool itself. Seniors, small children, and people with physical disabilities are the most vulnerable to heat-related illness, but everyone should take steps to stay safe in extreme heat.
The Minneapolis Department of Health and Family Support works closely with other local jurisdictions and the Minnesota Department of Health to help folks prepare for extreme heat events. Minneapolis has an emergency plan that is used to respond when a heat advisory or warning is called by the National Weather Service. The plan is coordinated with a metro-wide notification plan that reaches out to agencies that serve vulnerable populations.
Tips for preventing heat-related illness:
- Drink more fluids. Drinking fluids helps your body cool itself. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink. Don't drink liquids with caffeine, alcohol, or large amounts of sugar. They can actually cause your body to lose more fluid.
- Never leave any person or animals in a closed, parked vehicle.
- Wear lightweight, loose-fitted clothing.
- Check on your neighbors who may be at risk. Visit seniors and other vulnerable neighbors at least twice a day and look closely for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Seek medical advice immediately if you notice nausea, weakness, disorientation, rapid pulse and dry skin.
- Stay indoors if you can. Air conditioning is your best defense against heat-related illness. If you must be outside, try to limit your activity to morning and evening hours, take frequent breaks in the shade, drink plenty of fluids, and protect yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen.
- Don't rely on an electric fan. Electric fans may seem to provide comfort, but when the temperature is in the 90s, fans will not prevent heat-related illness. Using wet cloths or a spray of mist on exposed skin will help cool your body temperature.
For more information on heat-related illness and how to prevent it, visit the Minnesota Department of Health's site at and click on "staying healthy during hot weather" under "hot topics."

It is incredible to think that The Smiths were together for just five short years. In that time they managed to release four official albums, a few compilations of sessions, singles and oddities and of course, a run of some of the most amazing and unique 45s ever.
And one of the things that made The Smiths' singles and albums so special was there sleeves. Handpicked mostly by Morrissey, they feature a series of cover stars most of whom dated from the late 50s and early 60s, and for Smiths fans they gave an real insight into the singer's world – who his heroes were and the influences that shaped him.
Some of those cover stars were familiar, like Yootha Joyce, the star of two very successful seventies sit-coms. Others like French actor Jean Marais from Jean Cocteau's 1949 film Orphée, were a bit more obscure.
Not surprisingly quite a number of the stars featured in British films from the 60s, so I have rounded up those covers and attempted to give a little more information about the films they came from. Most of them are very watchable – a couple of them are classics.
I have added YouTube links to each one. Two of the films are available in a full version on YouTube, the rest are clips and trailers.
Click on for the gallery and links.
Ask - Catch Us If You Can
As every Smiths fan knows the cover star of the band's peerless 1986 single Ask was actress Yootha Joyce, but the still wasn't taken from her successful 70s sit-coms Man About The House or George and Mildred but from a decade or so earlier when she enjoyed a brief but significant film career. In fact Joyce managed to appear in several of Morrissey's favourite films - Charlie Bubbles and Sparrows Can't Sing - as well as one of the great unsung movies from the decade - Catch Us If You Can. The film doesn't get taken too seriously for one very obvious reason - it stars lovable Tottenham beat boys The Dave Clarke Five - the One Direction of their day. However if you overlook the way it was set up as an attempt to rival Hard day's Night CUIYC is actually a superb film and fascinating viewing for anyone who loves 60s pop culture. Without giving too much away the film is basically a road movie with Dave - and model Barbara Ferris in tow - as a stunt man and a model who escape their minders and head off into the wild English countryside. Along the way they hang out with some prototype hippies (this was 1965 before anyone was calling them that) go swimming in London's iconic Oasis pool and finish up at the stunning Art Deco hotel- which at that point was run down and deserted - on Burgh Island. They also pop into Bath where they meet Yootha Joyce, the wife of a socialite who quite fancies a bit of Dave. She eventually takes the gang to a fancy dress party in Bath spa. The pic was apparently taken off set. Catch Us If You Can is a fabulous film, directed in a highly imaginative way by John Boorman - later to shoot Deliverance and Hope and Glory. Had it featured some cooler stars it would undoubtedly be hailed as one of the best British movies of the decade. Catch Us If You Can Trailer

A dorfus is any human who displays traits of any of the following classifications: nerd, dork, geek, digerati, technorati, hacker, uber geek, etc. Many believe that the dorfi (pl. dorfus) are the next stage of human evolution, the arrival of which has been hastened by our societies ever growing dependence upon the technologies which are understood by this elite group, but which somehow escapes the lower technical understanding of the average homosapien. In fact, much as the homosapien's ability to utilize and invent basic tools placed them above the neanderthal, so does the dorfi's understanding and adaptability to modern technological advances place them above the average homosapien in the modern Information Age.
Our computer guy at work is a total dorfi.

Rolla school teachers will spend the day Friday figuring out ways to keep their classrooms and buildings safe for children.
Meanwhile, the children will have the day off to enjoy presumably safe activities.
This will be a scheduled Professional Development Day. Thursday night at the Rolla Board of Education meeting, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Aaron Zalis summarized the agenda for the day.
It will start at 8 a.m. and the first two hours will be conducted at the building level with work on other areas besides safety.
At 10:15, the faculty from all buildings will meet at the Rolla Middle School auditorium to begin the discussion on safety. Zalis said at the meeting that Rolla Police Cpl. Josh Campbell will be a speaker at the morning meeting. The printed agenda also shows Lt. Jim Macormic presenting an overview of the ALICE program training.
ALICE is an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate. Macormic, who is also the president of the Newburg Board of Education, has introduced the ALICE program in that district and training is under way there.
After lunch, individual building security breakout meetings will be held in the school buildings. Law enforcement officers will be at each campus.
Teachers will practice what to do against intruders, such as locking doors and windows and barricading classrooms. They'll also train on what to do next, using common sense, such as fleeing to a designated area or throwing books at an intruder and then fleeing.
In addition to training for intruders, the teachers will also work on what to do in case of tornadoes, fires or earthquakes.
What to do in specific situations – for instance, assemblies in the gyms, students dining in the cafeterias, students filling the hallways between classes, students on the playgrounds — will also be discussed during the training day.
Training will end at 3:30 p.m.
Information about the Professional Development Day can be found on a link in the right-hand lower corner of the school district website.
"Periodically classes are let out early or students have a day off for Professional Development. But, what happens during that time? Professional Development (PD) time is scheduled throughout the school year to provide additional time for teachers and staff to work together effectively and efficiently, enhancing and building on their instructional expertise," according to the website.
"Professional Development days promote continuous growth of teachers and staff through programs and activities, sometimes speakers and workshops, designed to enhance the education and safety of RPS students. PD time is vital to school success and the teaching profession.
RPS takes pride in giving teachers professional learning time in either grade-level or content-area meetings to collaborate on strategies and solve problems," the website information continues.
"Schools, as a whole, face an array of challenges: = from integrating new technology, to meeting academic standards and goals, to educating diverse population of students. RPS administrators stress the need for teachers to deepen their knowledge and skills to improve student success. PD days give more opportunities for teachers to discuss and learn new ideas related to academics, planning, and procedures."

Nine ECU medical students chosen as N.C. Schweitzer Fellows
Top row from left, Yvonne Ator, Joel Chisholm and Jacob Cuellar, second row, Jessica Flynn, Michael Gwaltney and Cindy Johns, third row, Steven Manning, Virginia Stewart and Shelly Strickland are this year's Schweitzer Fellows from the Brody School of Med
GREENVILLE, N.C. (June 21, 2005) — Nine students of the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University have been chosen as North Carolina Schweitzer Fellows for 2005-06. In total, 22 North Carolina students in schools of medicine, nursing, dentistry and public health were selected to implement their 16 proposals to improve the health of North Carolinians.
The N.C. Schweitzer Fellows Program is entering its 12th year. Each fellow works with a local community agency to carry out a project that contributes at least 200 hours of direct service. The fellows also plan symposia highlighting health issues of concern to communities.
The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship continues the legacy of Dr. Albert Schweitzer, who is viewed as one of the great humanitarians of the 20th century. The fellowship was founded in 1940 to support the work of Schweitzer in Lambaréné, Gabon, during World War II. Since that time, the fellowship has continued to support the hospital there as well as other programs and began sponsoring local programs to address unmet health care and social needs in the United States.
Schweitzer fellows are chosen on a competitive basis from student applicants in a variety of health-related fields, including medicine, nursing, public health, social work, and law, and they continue their conventional professional training while participating in the entry year of the Schweitzer Fellows Program.
This year's fellows are from the Brody School of Medicine second-year class and are as follows with a description of their community service projects: --Yvonne Ator, a native of Greensboro, will implement an HIV/AIDS Prevention through Awareness, Counseling and Testing program. The campaign will strive to raise awareness of the HIV epidemic in Pitt County, to provide counseling and to implement the new HIV rapid testing procedure.
"I'm excited about my project because we will be taking the tests to the people and giving results the same day in an attempt to stop HIV in its tracks via reducing risky behaviors and empowering people to live healthy lives and take advantage of community resources," Ator said. "My project will focus on populations that are falling through the cracks in the fight against AIDS, the so-called 'disenfranchised' of our society. My population will include the community shelters, soup kitchens, rehab center and domestic violence shelters."
She has an undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Ator has a deep interest in rural health and international health issues and plans to become a pediatrician after medical school.
--A native of Plymouth, Jacob Cuellar will lead "Hearts N' Parks: Salud para su Corazon," a cardiovascular disease prevention initiative for 80 to 100 Hispanic children 6 to 12 years old enrolled in Pitt County schools.
"'Salud para su Corazon' is a fun, enriching summer youth program that is aimed at increasing the awareness of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, such as being overweight or physically inactive, by demonstrating ways to adopt healthy lifestyle changes to Hispanic children," he said. "This program will immerse many Hispanic children in an environment that supports and encourages a healthy lifestyle and increased physical activity in order to prevent cardiovascular disease."
Cuellar formed a planning committee for his project, including the Pitt County Health Department, the Local Physical Activity and Nutrition group, Nutrition Partners and Health Promotion of Greenville. He will use the CATCH Kids Club material, which is a culturally appropriate modification of the curriculum from the Child and Adolescent Trial for Cardiovascular Health from the University of Texas.
Cuellar has an undergraduate degree from Duke University. He is also an active member of the N.C. Society of Hispanic Professionals and involved in the group's "Stay in School" campaign targeted at Hispani
