Black Hawk Down enlists 50 players online
4th Mar 2005 | 11:26
The Xbox version of NovaLogic's PC FPS Delta Force: Black Hawk Down will feature huge 50 player online battles over Live - and we've got the screens to prove it.
This staggering number will make BHD the proud record holder of the most simultaneous players in an Xbox Live game. The most anyone else has managed is a comparatively paltry 16.
On top of getting to battle alongside 49 other players, a variety of eight multiplayer game modes will be available across a selection of battlefields. You'll also get the benefits of team support, statistics, voice chat, messaging, matchmaking, and four-player splitscreen online gaming - suggesting that the whole caboodle will be making the most of Xbox Live 3.0 in a Halo 2-stylee.
Lee Milligan, President of NovaLogic Inc., is understandably chuffed with the 50 | -player figure. "We are ecstatic that we have been able to deliver next-generation multiplayer gaming to existing Xbox Live gamers before the next-gen consoles arrive."
The game was delayed last year with publisher NovaLogic saying it wanted to "really focus on the Xbox Live features planned for the title". Looks like it's done it.
NovaLogic has also pushed the multiplayer boundaries on PC with Joint Ops, another military FPS that supports up to 150 simultaneous players.

(From Athens, correspondent Joanna Kakissis tells us about the latest news regarding the troubled Greek economy.)
The unemployment rate in Greece has climbed to a new record high of 21.9 percent, the country's statistical service said today. Many Greeks blame budget cuts imposed by its international lenders — who include the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund — for worsening the country's recession, now in its fifth year. The Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation predicts that recession will stretch well into 2013.
The unemployment rate is now nearly twice the eurozone average of 11 percent. More than 100,000 companies | closed last year — and some companies are so short on cash, they haven't paid their employees for months, as we've previously reported.
Nearly all Greeks have seen their wages cut in the last two years as part of an EU-imposed austerity program in exchange for billions in bailout loans. Greece first accepted bailout loans from the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund in May 2010. A few months before, then-Prime Minister George Papandreou announced that the country was more | [

There are two ways to enforce rights. A government agency can do it, or it can be outsourced to private contractors, which means plaintiffs' lawyers. If we're going to use a government agency, then we have to make sure they do it efficiently, because our tax dollars fund those agencies. If we're going to use private lawyers, they've got to be able to make good money doing it, otherwise they'll do something else instead. If neither of those systems works for us, then let's not pretend that we care about the rights that we're refusing to enforce.
The New York Times presented a front-page article on April 17 about lawyers suing New York City businesses that don't have good wheelchair | access. The story is that the plaintiffs' lawyers are finding violations -- easy in New York City, with its many ancient buildings, narrow-aisled, with aging or nonexistent ramps -- and then choosing a plaintiff from a cadre of disabled people.

Oaxaca hosts Second National Convention against the Imposition

July 8, 2011 – (Reuters) - Here are the main events in the long-running phone-hacking scandal which brought down the 168-year old News of the World tabloid on Thursday.
The scandal comes at a time when parent firm News Corp is seeking to take over UK pay-TV firm BSkyB in its biggest ever acquisition, worth around $14 billion.
2000 - Rebekah Wade is appointed editor of Britain's best-selling Sunday tabloid News of the World. She begins a campaign to name and shame alleged pedophiles, leading to some alleged offenders being terrorized by angry mobs. She also campaigns for public access to the Sex Offenders Register, which eventually comes into law as "Sarah's Law."
2002 - Teenager Milly Dowler disappears in Walton on Thames, Surrey in March. Her remains are found in September.
2003 - Wade becomes editor of daily tabloid The Sun, sister paper to the News of the World. She tells a parliamentary committee her paper paid police for information. News International later says this is not company practice.
November 2005 - The Sunday tabloid publishes a story on Prince William's knee injury prompting complaints by | royal staff members about voicemail messages being intercepted. The complaints spark a police inquiry.

If you are a retailer with more than one retail outlet, chances are you are using some combination of EPOS software and retail hardware to manage your business. Both seem to be completely different beasts to manage over the lifetime of the products.

A judge is to open a hearing in June to decide whether Mr Berlusconi and his former legal adviser, Mr Mills, should be sent for trial.

In 2000, at the NRA convention, and again in 2003, Charlton Heston held that iconic musket over his head and said, "From my cold dead hands", he was more right than most folks realize.
Heston held the weapon of choice for real hunters. It was a rifle that could hit a buck at 500 yards but not a room full of children. He held a weapon that looked at home over a fireplace and could be used to defend a home without putting it at increased risk. Muskets are notoriously poor weapons when it comes to drive by shootings, mass murders, suicide, and domestic violence.

Tiger Notebook: Tough loss to take
Gary Pinkel tried to tell his team they will live to fight another day. That they will be back at Arrowhead Stadium with a chance to win an even bigger game just seven days from now.
"But they don't want to hear that right now," Pinkel said.
Indeed, the sting was an all-out throbbing pain after a 40-37 loss to arch-rival Kansas. The Jayhawks scored the game-winning touchdown on fourth and seven from the 26-yard line when Todd Reesing found Kerry Meier for his school-record 14th catch of the day with 27 seconds left. The score put Kansas up 40-37. Missouri had another chance to extend the game, but Jeff Wolfert's 54-yard field goal was blocked as time expired.
"It's like one of those feelings you can't really explain," Sean Weatherspoon said. "It's worse than any loss I've ever had since I've been here at Mizzou."
That pretty much summed up the sympathy from the Tigers.

Pills, sponges, IUDs, diaphragms — women have many options for planning their fertility, none of them quite perfect. But what if men want to help out?

Will men ever have a way to reliably make sure that nobody is ever calling them “daddy” before they are ready?

After serving as clerk of the Court of Common Pleas for that district during the next year, he was admitted to the bar on 9 Oct. 1780. He subsequently moved to Quebec, where in June 1783 he was employed by the trustees of Thompson and Shaw, merchants. This partnership had gone into bankruptcy, its assets being assigned to the firm of Fraser and Young [see John Young], and Walker acted in the several suits brought before the Court of Common Pleas for the recovery of sums and merchandise. His experience with that court lends some | authority, and perhaps a hint of personal vexation, to his testimony on 2 Aug. 1787 before Chief Justice William Smith*’s inquiry into the administration of justice in Quebec [see Arthur Davidson].
Walker’s chief complaint was that the laws and practices followed by the Court of Common Pleas were too uncertain. He was not so concerned about its inclination to disregard the English legal system; on the contrary, he actually advocated a fuller recognition of French mercantile laws and more reliance on | [

In the nanoscale CMOS technology, the thin gate oxide causes large gate-tunneling leakage.

There is unfinished family business brewing, though Minnesota guard Austin Hollins was unaware of it. Hollins, a 6-foot-4 guard, is eagerly anticipating his chance to play against UCLA in the second round of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, which he will get in Austin, Texas, on Friday. After spending Selection Sunday unsure whether the Golden Gophers would be chosen to advance, Hollins had a revelation: "We have a new opportunity. " The game fell right out of the family tree.

It's Thursday again, and here's what I'd like to toss around today: What books are on your shopping list at the moment?
Those of you who have been following me for a while know that I have a penchant for buying way more books than I could possibly ever read (a common problem among us writers, I imagine.) I even wrote a post about my stack of books waiting to be read, which is even taller than I am (and I have the proof.) So why in the world did I go out and buy even more new books the other day? Well, look at them. Who could resist? I bought:
Wake by Lisa McMann - I've wanted to read this ever since I read her query letter in a query letter how-to article (and all the great things I've been hearing about it on other blogs didn't hurt either.)
Hush Hush by Becca Fitzgerald - I'm so behind the times, I don't even know what this book is about, but I've seen it featured on several blogs, and who can resist that cover photo? This looks | like my kind of book.
Fang by James Patterson - Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while also know that I love, love, love the Maximum Ride series. My kids and I have been waiting for this one to come out for a long time. I haven't read it yet, but both my daughters finished it right away and loved it.

Fortunately, with careful planning and the help of innovative plumbing fixtures, it is possible to add a bathroom to virtually any home. Here are some common challenges and how you can address them to achieve the bathroom addition of your dreams:
Where to put another bathroom is a burning question, whether your home is 1,800 square feet or 3,800. Of course, the question is more challenging for smaller or older homes, but options do exist. Many people find space in a basement, and with finishing a basement among the most popular types of renovation, adding a bath to this space makes a great deal of sense. If your home is built on a slab, other options might include taking some space away from a garage, or adding a powder room beneath stairs.
Breaking through concrete
Adding a bathroom in a basement, garage area or in a home that sits on a slab traditionally requires cutting into concrete. Yet there are many pitfalls to consider with this traditional approach. First, cutting into a concrete pad is a costly endeavor and inevitably weakens its structural integrity. The process creates dust and noise, and the contractor can’t be sure what he will encounter; the | slab may be thicker or thinner than anticipated, cracks can develop and a host of other problems may occur. These challenges can be solved with above-floor plumbing, and several options exist.

Unfortunately, some people think that getting a flu immunization is too much trouble or costs too much. Or, they swear that a flu immunization will make them sick or make them more likely to catch the flu--or even colds.
Influenza--the flu--is caused by one of several strains of influenza viruses (type A or B) that infect the nose, throat and lungs, making life miserable for a week or two for many people--and deadly for some. Flu season can peak anywhere from late December to early April, according to the CDC.
Your best defense against the flu is to get | immunized. Depending on your age, you can do that in one of two ways:
- With a flu shot, given with a needle. This form of the vaccine contains killed virus and is approved for all people over the age of 6 months.
- With a nasal-spray vaccine. This form contains live, weakened flu viruses that cannot cause the flu. This form is approved for healthy, non-pregnant people ages 2 to 49 years.

When the IFPI first threatened Telenor in March 2009, the ISP already made it clear it wouldn't budge, claiming the threats had no legal basis. "This would be the same as demanding that the postal service should open all letters, and decide which ones should be delivered," said Telenor boss Ragnar Kårhus back then.
The IFPI indeed kept its word, and sued Telenor, and the case went to trial in October. A verdict was supposed to come October 30, but was delayed until yesterday. The verdict is a big slap in the face of the IFPI: the court ruled that simply by giving access to The Pirate Bay, Telenor is not contributing to copyright infringement, and as such, there is no legal basis to force the ISP to block access to The Pirate Bay.
"Obviously we are pleased that the District Court has arrived at this conclusion," said Kårhus, "At the same time it | is important for us to emphasize that this case is not about being in favor of or opposed to copyright, but about whether or not it is reasonable to saddle Internet service providers with a censorship role in respect of content on the Internet."

How can I make a USB flash drive appear/not appear as a CD drive?
I have a 2GB flash drive that was a freebie giveaway at some HP event. The drive works fine, except that the HP guys formatted it in such a way that one portion is 17.2MB of CDFS, and the rest is free fore me to use. It's obviously not a CD drive, but their formatting it as such allows them to ensure that their propagandish applications and "buy our products"s not be deleted.
Obviously, I want to delete them.
Windows seems to be pretty much impassive to all my attempts. I've tried using
format F:, but the command prompt refuses to format because the "
volume is write protected." Windows Explorer seems to actually think that it's a CD drive, as it has a context menu entry for "Close Tray" (which of course does nothing. Windows's "Disk Management" service won't let me format it, either.

The six new videos discuss a broad spectrum of topics, such as LaFerrari's overall architecture, carbon fiber chassis and body, driving dynamics and the 160-horsepower HY-KERS (HYbrid Kinetic Energy Recovery System) part of the powertrain. There is also coverage of today's auto show unveiling and, our favorite, a short video showing the car being tested around the Fiorano Circuit plus some bonus footage of past Ferrari supercars like the GTO, F40, F | 50 and Enzo.

This week, at Japan’s CEATEC tradeshow, NTT Docomo and NEC unveiled a Lithium ion battery that can be fully charged in ten minutes. The battery is currently only available as an external jacket that fits NEC’s super-slim Medias Android (Japan only) smart phones, hopefully plans are in place to expand the charger’s compatibility to other devices. Zach from Endgadget explains how the charger pushes a large amount of amps to get the battery charged faster as opposed to generic chargers that push a miniscule amount of charge to the battery. There has been some speculation that this massive push will affect the life span of the battery, but this has not been proven.

Vandevort undertook her linguistic work with a relatively modest aim: the betterment of the social and spiritual conditions of the Nuer people living around the Nasir mission. Two of the mission services most central to these aims were medical and educational. She was sent to the field specifically for the purpose of undertaking literacy work in support of evangelization: to reduce the Nuer language to a comprehensible set of linguistic rules and lexicon; to create pedagogical materials for both Nuer and non-Nuer; and to produce translations of spiritual reading matter in the Nuer language. In this, her efforts participated in a tradition of Nuer linguistic description that developed in relative independence of colonial governance in the late nineteenth and first two decades of the twentieth century; intensified with financial support from the government as part of the policy of Native Administration for the Southern Sudan from 1930 | until 1945; and then came under increasing criticism from (Northern) Sudanese nationalists up to Independence in 1955 and thereafter. The linguistic work of the Nasir station finally came to a halt with the expulsion of the last missionaries in 1964, as recounted in A Leopard Tamed. In order to understand the significance of Vandevort’s work, it is necessary to contextualize it within a trajectory of missionary linguistics and education that precedes it by at least two generations.

Managed care could be in store for Alabama's Medicaid program
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 6:46 p.m.

MONTGOMERY — Alabama’s Medicaid program probably will move to some type of managed care system much like private insurance functions with commercial management companies or community-based care.
That’s the summary of presentations to the executive committee of the Alabama Medicaid Advisory Commission, which met Wednesday to continue its task of redesigning Medicaid to save taxpayers money while continuing to provide adequate service.
Gov. Robert Bentley created the commission and tasked it with recommending ways to modernize Alabama’s Medicaid program | , which takes one-third of the discretionary general government budget, about $600 million this year. Without change, the budget requirement will increase by about $100 million next fiscal year.

What causes Tsunamis?
Tsunami are waves caused by sudden movement of the ocean due to earthquakes, landslides on the sea floor, land slumping into the ocean, large volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact in the ocean.
Most tsunami are caused by large earthquakes on the seafloor when slabs of rock move past each other suddenly, causing the overlying water to move. The resulting waves move away from the source of the earthquake event.
Underwater landslides can cause | tsunami as can terrestrial land which slumps into the ocean. View our landslide generation animation which demonstrates how a landslide induces a tsunami.
Less common are tsunami initiated by volcanic eruptions. These occur in several ways:
- destructive collapse of coastal, island and underwater volcanoes which result in massive landslides

City University of New York Professor skeptical of near-death experience, likens NDE researchers to astrologers.
There’s pseudoscience, bunk, scientific nonsense, and then there’s real science… at least according to Dr. Massimo Pigliucci author of, Nonsense on Stilts: How to Tell Science From Bunk.
Join Skeptiko host Alex Tsakiris for an interview with Professor Massimo Pigliucci, a philosopher at the City University of New York. During the hour-long interview Dr. Pigliucci rejects claims of near-death experience science. When asked to explain why so many NDE researchers have concluded otherwise Dr. Pigliucci stated, ” that’s like saying the vast majority of astrologers are in agreement with the fact that astrology works.”
Pigliucci also offers his opinion on how non-scientists should choose sides on controversial science issues like climate change, “I am about to go to the Amazing Meeting in Las Vegas, which is organized by the James Randi Foundation, and I fully expect to upset several people there because my presentation will be about how skeptics are not scientists and therefore, they shouldn’t really pass judgment on issues for which the scientific community has reached a consensus. | For instance, let me give you an example.

Taxing Plastic and Paper Bags, Senate Bill Could Make Grocery Shopping Green

If legislators have their way, when New Jerseyans go shopping in the future, they may pay a small tax if they want their groceries packed in a paper or plastic bag.

Tia Maria – Sugababes Promotion

In a drive to target a younger audience, Tia Maria teamed up with the Sugababes for an exclusive one-off concert in London. This had huge media support, using TV, radio and press to build awareness of the event and the brand association.
With such buzz surrounding the event, they ran a competition in pubs across the UK. This is where Umbrellas involvement began.

Brad Paisley is not one of the leading figures in country music for no reason. He has always pushed the envelope of the genre with his music, introducing issues that were usually not discussed in song and making the umbrella of the country music genre even wider, engulfing more themes.
On his last album, “American Saturday Night”, Brad dealt with social issues we all live through but don’t really consider, such as looking at the younger generation and seeing all of the advances they have and we lacked (the song in question is Welcome To The Future).
He doesn’t stray far from that in This Is Country Music, an album that starts with the song of the same name where Brad says country music is the only genre where the word “cancer” is mentioned in a song and goes on into a segue of country music classics (Stand By Your Man, Take Me Home Country Roads, etc…)
On Old Alabama, Brad tells the story of a date with a girl whose idea of a perfect date is not one that involves high-end meals but a | simple drive around in a truck listening to Alabama.

It isn't often that there is banter in WH local. Because by default, until someone speaks, the local list is always empty, such behavior can give away vital information about an operation. Only one person needs to speak and from that can be gleaned your corporation and how many people are in it, which in turn can give a potential fleet size, as well as kill-boards which in itself is a wealth of information.
So in the event we do engage in local chatter, it can get quite hilarious. As of late, just jumping into our neighboring systems to break things and ships hasn't been enough. Now we'll make entertainment out of it... sending one person | in (and possibly cloakies) to pretend they are a lost newb, baiting residents to either think they have an easy kill, or think they are guiding someone out, while our fleet lays in wait.

How to eliminate the tendency to set mental limits
The sky is the limit. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. What thoughts run through your head as you read statements like these? Many people tend to think that statements like these are foolish thinking. But isn't that the beginning of setting mental limits on what we can accomplish? We tend to think that great accomplishments are things that happen to other people. This is not so. People who think in these terms are limiting their ability to achieve. Here are some suggestions on how to eliminate the tendency to set mental limits.
Actions start with thoughts. Other than automatic responses, like breathing, all actions start with out thoughts. So what do we think about all day? It can be very interesting and self-revealing to actually listen to your own thoughts throughout the day. Walk around and listen to what you say about people, about life, about the circumstances and situations you find yourself in. Do you think positively? Do you see yourself as being capable and able to meet challenges and overcome them? Do you criticize yourself all day? Do you worry about what people are thinking of you? It can be very self-revealing to understand what we | think about ourselves. If we find that we don't like what we think of ourselves and the way we face the world, then we need to change our thinking.
To eliminate the tendency to set mental limits, we need to change the way we see ourselves. We need to believe that we can accomplish anything we set our minds to. We need to believe that | [

Kent A21 widening scheme 'could create growth'
Widening the A21 in Kent has been given preliminary approval because it could create growth in the local community, according to the roads minister.

The scheme would expand the road between Tonbridge and Pembury from single lanes to a dual carriageway.
The Kent | Green Party, which opposes all road building, said the widening was "a complete waste of money".
In the case of the A21, Steve Dawe, from the Kent Green Party, said: "It will remove nine hectares of ancient woodland and in as a little of three or four years' time after the scheme is finished, the A21 will fill up again."
