The Pro Micro is similar to the Pro Mini except with an ATmega32U4 on board instead of an ATmega328. The 32U4 has a USB transceiver built in, allowing USB connectivity on board. Thus the Pro Micro also adds a micro-USB connector.
This tiny board has familiar Arduino features: four channels of 10-bit ADC, five PWM pins, 12 DIOs, as well as hardware serial connections Rx and Tx.
This is the 5V version which runs at 16 MHz. There is a voltage regulator on board so it can accept voltage up to 12V DC. If you're supplying unregulated power to the board, be sure to connect to the RAW pin not to VCC.
Board Dimensions: 1.3 × 0.7 inches.
Note: The micro-USB connector is soldered on the board not through it. Be gentle when plugging and unplugging your USB cable. You might consider adding a dab of adhesive to strengthen the connector's bond with the PCB.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Wendy Doolan's Story
Wendy Doolan won the 2004 Evian Masters.
WENDY DOOLAN IS AN LPGA Tour veteran and three-time winner. Her most recent victory was the 2004 Evian Masters. On June 22 Wendy was diagnosed with breast cancer. Following are excerpts from her first-person account at LPGA.com.
Early Detection
"It was a self exam—I just noticed a lump on my breast. I had the LPGA doctor look at it and he suggested I go see a breast surgeon and that's when I was sent for a mammogram, an ultrasound and, following the next day, a biopsy.
"What saved my life was early detection—self exam. There's nothing other than that; that's what it was. I had no history in my family—no cancer history."
Surgery and Treatment
"I had surgery on the 27th of July. She went in, took the lump out, checked the margins and closed me up. Due to the size of my lump, I was a candidate for five-day radiation, which is radiation twice a day for five days.
"After I got over the initial shock, I'd not had any doubts whatsoever that as soon as the radiation was done, I'd be back at golf. God's given me strength through the whole time."
Wendy's Advice
"My only piece of advice is, doesn't matter what you think is going to happen, do your self checks. The question is, 'What does it feel like?' You know when it feels different.
"Do your yearly check-ups, mammograms. Do it. Don't put it off."
Wendy returned to tournament golf at the CVS/pharmacy LPGA Challenge on September 4 in Danville, California. Her golf wasn't sharp, she said, but she was grateful to be there.
−The Armchair Golfer

What can you say about this terrible disease other than women need to watch themselves as best they can. I don't want to get into a political row but too many women in our country can't afford to do anything about it regardless of what they might find. It seems to me that me that we have to go farther than just wearing pink ribbons. Great post, thank you.
- Charles Boyer said...
I salute the courage of anyone - and their loved ones too - that has to go through this.

Ken Burns
Ken Burns,
Ken Burns has been making films for more than thirty years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made. A December 2002 poll conducted by Real Screen Magazine listed The Civil War as second only to Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North as the "most influential documentary of all time," and named Ken Burns and Robert Flaherty as the "most influential documentary makers" of all time. In March, 2009, David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun Sun said, "… Burns is not only the greatest documentarian of the day, but also the most influential filmmaker period. That includes feature filmmakers like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. I say that because Burns not only turned millions of persons onto history with his films, he showed us a new way of looking at our collective past and ourselves." The late historian Stephen Ambrose said of his films, "More Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source." Ken's films have won twelve Emmy Awards and two Oscar nominations, and in September of 2008, at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards, Ken was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Ken has been the recipient of more than twenty-five honorary degrees and has delivered many treasured commencement addresses. He is a sought after public speaker, appearing at colleges, civic organizations and business groups throughout the country.
Projects currently in production include films on the Dust Bowl, the Central Park Jogger case, the Roosevelts, Jackie Robinson, the Vietnam War and country music.
In October of 2011 PBS broadcast Prohibition, a 3-part, 5 -hour series directed by Ken and Lynn Novick. The film tells the story of the rise, rule and fall of the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the entire era it encompassed, a compelling saga that goes far beyond the oft-told tales of gangsters, rum runners, flappers and speakeasies, revealing a complicated and divided nation in the throes of momentous transformation. Prohibition raises vital questions that are as relevant today as they were 100 years ago – about means and ends, individual rights and responsibilities, the proper role of government, and, finally, who is – and who is not – a real American.
An update to the 1994 epic Baseball, The Tenth Inning was co-directed by Ken and Lynn Novick. David McMahon, Lynn Novick and Ken wrote and produced the film, which aired on PBS in September 2010. This two-part, four-hour documentary highlights the many dramatic developments that transformed the game: the crippling 1994 strike, the increasing dominance of Latin and Asian players; the rise of a new Yankee Dynasty, the historic World Series victory by the Red Sox, and the revelations about performance-enhancing drugs, a reality that cast a pall on some of the greatest stars of the game.
In the fall of 2009, PBS broadcast The National Parks: America's Best Idea. Directed and co-produced by Ken, it was co-produced by his long-time collaborator Dayton Duncan. The six-part series focuses on the ideas and individuals that helped propel the parks into existence. Filmed over the course of more than six years at some of nature's most spectacular locales – from Acadia to Yosemite, Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon, the Everglades of Florida to the Gates of the Arctic in Alaska – the heart of the story is nonetheless a story of people from every conceivable background – rich and poor; famous and unknown; soldiers and scientists; natives and newcomers; idealists, artists and entrepreneurs; people who were willing to devote themselves to saving some precious portion of the land they loved, and in doing so reminded their fellow citizens of the full meaning of democracy. The film won Emmy Awards for Outstanding Nonfiction Series and Outstanding Writing for Nonfiction Programming, as well as the 2010 CINE Golden Eagle Award.
In September 2007, PBS broadcast The War, which Ken co-produced and co-directed with long-time colleague, Lynn Novick. This seven-part film tells the story of the Second World War through the personal accounts of nearly 40 men and women from four quintessentially American towns. The series explores the most intimate human dimensions of the greatest cataclysm in history -- a worldwide catastrophe that touched the lives of every family on every street in every town in America. The War was named an official selection at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and won three Primetime Emmy Awards: Outstanding Writing for Nonfiction Programming, Outstanding Sound Editing for Nonfiction Programming, and Outstanding Voice-over Performance (for narrator Keith David). Robert Bianco of USA Today said, "There are works of TV art so extraordinary all you can do is be grateful. With The War, gratitude abounds." Keith Olbermann of NBC/MSNBC said, "This is the finest documentary series of the last decade… if not more," and Adam Buckman of the New York Post has said "I have spent the better part of my adult life watching TV for a living, and I have never experienced anything more powerful than this."
In January of 2005, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson, a two-part film on the life of the first African-American heavyweight boxing champion, aired on PBS. It was produced with Ken's long-time collaborator and editor Paul Barnes, and had its premiere at the 2004 Telluride Film Festival. This film won three Emmy Awards: Outstanding Nonfiction Special, Outstanding Writing for Nonfiction, and Outstanding Voice-over Performance (for narrator Keith David). Todd McCarthy of Variety called it "…irresistibly engrossing…masterly… a knockout…"; while The New York Times described it as "monumental…gripping." Ring Magazine, "the bible of boxing," said Unforgivable Blackness is "…the most wildly entertaining documentary ever."
Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip, an account of the first cross-country trip by automobile, was co-produced with Ken's long-time colleague Dayton Duncan. This film aired on PBS in October of 2003, and was screened that same year at the Telluride Film Festival. The film earned the 2003 CINE Golden Eagle Award and, in 2004, the Christopher Award. David Bianculli of the New York Daily News said, "This is one drive on which no passenger will be asking impatiently, 'Are we there yet?' The journey, in this case, is the destination." Mark Sachs of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "The detail work by Burns and Duncan offers such an authentic-feeling trip back in time that it's as if viewers have a backseat perch as Jackson puts his cherry-red Winton touring car in gear and heads east."
Mark Twain, a two-part, four-hour portrait of America's funniest and most popular writer, was also co-produced with Dayton Duncan. Winner of the Leon Award for Best Documentary at the St. Louis Film Festival in 2001, the film aired on PBS in January 2002. Ken Ringle of The Washington Post wrote, "Mark Twain is not only fascinating, funny, inspiring and wise, it's one of the best primers on American literature and culture you could have."
In January 2001, Jazz, the third in Ken's trilogy of epic documentaries, which began with The Civil War and continued with Baseball, was broadcast on PBS. Co-produced with Lynn Novick, this 19-hour, ten-part film explores in detail the culture, politics and dreams that gave birth to jazz music, and follows this most American of art forms from its origins in blues and ragtime through swing, bebop and fusion. Jack Newfield of the New York Post said, "Jazz is the best American documentary film I have ever seen. Period." Tom Brokaw wrote, "Jazz is a masterpiece of American television." John Carmen of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "Jazz informs, astonishes, and entertains. It invites joy, tears, toe-tapping, pride, and shame and maybe an occasional goose bump."
Not For Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, winner of the prestigious Peabody Award and an Emmy Award, was co-produced with Paul Barnes and aired on PBS in November of 1999. This dual biography tells the story of the two women who almost single-handedly created and spearheaded the women's rights movement in America, changing for the better the lives of a majority of American citizens. As Bob Herbert of The New York Times stated: "The latest splendid effort from…Ken Burns is about two women who barely register in the consciousness of late-20th century America, but whose lives were critically important to the freedoms most of us take for granted." The 2000 Peabody Award citation for NFOA reads: "Remarkable…It is an inspiring story of hopes, dashed dreams and dogged determination…NFOA…brings heart, soul and considerable poignancy to the stories of these two leaders of the women's suffrage movement."
Frank Lloyd Wright, co-directed and produced with Lynn Novick, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 1998, and aired on PBS in November of that year. The film, which tells the riveting story of America's foremost architectural genius, is, according to Janet Maslin of The New York Times, a "towering two-and-one-half-hour(s)…sure to have a high profile because of the turbulent, colorful life of the architect and the austere magnificence of his work, which is thoughtfully assessed." Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times says the film "…has the unbeatable combination of exceptional interview material and beautiful architectural photography put at the service of an astonishing life." In 1999, it won the Peabody Award.
In November 1997, Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery was released to critical acclaim and garnered the second-highest ratings in Public Television history. This four-hour film, co-produced with Dayton Duncan, chronicles the corps' journey westward on the first official expedition into uncharted spaces in United States history. Tony Scott of Weekly Variety called the film "…a visually stunning account…Striking photography, superb editing, informative reportage and little-known anecdotes characterize the latest fine documentary work from Burns," and Don Heckman of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "…superb…a vast landscape that, even on the television screen, underscores the sense of awe reported by Lewis and Clark in their journals."
Thomas Jefferson, a three-hour portrait of our third president, aired in February of 1997. This film explores the contradictions in the man who was revered as the author of the most sacred document in American history and condemned as a lifelong owner of slaves. Walter Goodman of The New York Times said: "…Thomas Jefferson is a considerable accomplishment, a thoughtful and affecting portrait of the intellectual who captured the essence of a new nation's hopes in phrases that continue to resound around the world." And George Will, in The Washington Post, said: "…Ken Burns presents a timely corrective, a visually sumptuous and intellectually judicious appraisal of Jefferson."
In the fall of 1996, The West, an eight-part, 12 1/2 hour film series on the American west was released. The West is the story of one of the great crossroads in human history, a place where, tragically and heroically, the best of us met the worst of us and nothing was left unchanged. Ken Burns was executive producer and creative consultant for this highly praised series, directed by Stephen Ives, which won the 1997 Erik Barnouw Prize.
Ken Burns was the director, producer, co-writer, chief cinematographer, music director and executive producer of the Public Television series Baseball. Four and a half years in the making and eighteen and a half hours in length, this film covers the history of baseball from the 1840s to the present. Through the extensive use of archival photographs and newsreel footage, baseball as a mirror of our larger society was brought to the screen over nine nights during its premiere in September 1994. It became the most watched series in PBS history, attracting more than 45 million viewers. David Bianculli of the New York Daily News said, "[Baseball]…resonates like a Mozart symphony." Richard Zoglin of Time magazine wrote, "Baseball is rich in drama, irresistible as nostalgia, and…an instructive window into our national psychology." Baseball received numerous awards, including an Emmy, the CINE Golden Eagle Award, the Clarion Award, and the Television Critics Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sports and Special Programming.
Ken Burns was also the director, producer, co-writer, chief cinematographer, music director and executive producer of the landmark television series The Civil War. This film was the highest rated series in the history of American Public Television and attracted an audience of 40 million during its premiere in September 1990. The New York Times called it a masterpiece and said that Ken Burns "takes his place as the most accomplished documentary filmmaker of his generation." Tom Shales of The Washington Post said, "This is not just good television, nor even just great television. This is heroic television." The columnist George Will said, "If better use has ever been made of television, I have not seen it and do not expect to see better until Ken Burns turns his prodigious talents to his next project." The series has been honored with more than forty major film and television awards, including two Emmy Awards, two Grammy Awards, Producer of the Year Award from the Producer's Guild, People's Choice Award, Peabody Award, duPont-Columbia Award, D.W. Griffith Award, and the $50,000 Lincoln Prize, among dozens of others.
In 1981, Ken Burns produced and directed his first film for PBS, the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge. During the 1980s he made several other award-winning films, including The Shakers; Statue of Liberty, also nominated for an Oscar; Huey Long, the story of the turbulent southern dictator, which enjoyed a rare theatrical release; The Congress; Thomas Hart Benton, a portrait of the regionalist artist; and Empire of the Air: The Men Who Made Radio. Ken Burns has also produced and directed three films - William Segal, Vézelay, and In The Marketplace - which explore the questions of seeing, searching and being through the work and teachings of philosopher and painter William Segal.
Ken was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1953. He graduated from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1975 and went on to be one of the co-founders of Florentine Films.

We provide an information product for soccer parents to help them navigate the college soccer recruiting process with their kids. Most of our families get to play soccer in college and many earn scholarships to do so. The site is branded around Coach Mike Homer as he is the expert.
We target to the Soccer Parents, not their kids. We use a lot of Google Adwords to reach most of the parents. However many of our customers have been coming in from the Google Content Network. Thus people are reading information about soccer on other soccer sites and blogs and seeing our text ad and clicking on it to come to our site. We know that using image ads should increase the click through and likely the conversion thus we want to move from text ads to these target markets to image ads.
Create image ads for each size and dimension allowed by Google and Facebook. Standards for each are located at the following URLs:
In terms of the idea for the image, we were thinking we could have a picture of a female with a soccer ball (could be a college age player or a younger mom.) I found some on istockphoto we liked but looking to the great designers here for some ideas. The soccer girl would be incorporated in an ad that has this type of copy:
Attention Soccer Parents
Discover Insider Secrets to Get A College Soccer Scholarship
Fonts, exact text, placement in the ad are all up to your creativity.
THANKS for helping us help the parents in a sport we love!

A reader with a home on the market is very frustrated with the proliferation of squirrels this spring in his far North Dallas neighborhood:
Dear Candy: How do you handle squirrels when your home is on the market and they are everywhere? One almost jumped on a couple as they were leaving our home yesterday. (They are extra frisky because of the weekend storms, we guess.) We are marketing our home and drawing attention to the large, lush trees, but this spring they seem to be filled with more critters than leaves. Is it ever legal to shoot squirrels in your yard? I hate to be extreme, but they are driving us crazy, destroying patio cushions, and jumping all over the house. Thanks!
It is NOT legal to shoot squirrels within the city limits of Dallas, and by "shoot" I hope your definition was that of a Super Soaker! (Though I confess, I've been tempted… squirrels broke my home's virginity!)¬† You can keep squirrels off your roof somewhat by trimming back trees that touch the roof. One Preston Hollow homeowner has wiring that is supposed to electrocute the squirrels, but I always fear a malfunction — or what if you send a workman up there! You might try calling the Critter Catcher.¬† They will humanely trap and then remove the alpha squirrel so his reproducing days will be far fewer. Or, watch this funny video — irreverent, yes, but my son turned me into a huge Will Ferrell fan:

One of the common themes that we are finding is that more and more of our Clients are converting their living rooms into more of a Home Theater Room. They are going with the larger flat panel televisions and want to make their living rooms as "Theater Like" for those afternoons where they want to crawl up on the couch and watch a movie or a game. We always try to suggest to them when considering their living room drapes to upgrade to our Blackout Lining option. Blackout is a synthetic lining which blocks out about 98% of the light from penetrating through the drapery fabric. The result is that blackout helps to convert your typical living room into a Home Theater Room. And, maybe the best part is that you can upgrade to blackout lining for only $99 per panel – any size panel, at DrapeStyle.
One other added benefit is that the blackout lining is going to help protect your all of your interior fabrics from sun damage and fading, including your carpets. And, if that is not enough, Blackout will also help reduce your energy bills by providing additional insulation. If you are buying drapes for you living room, you really should give Blackout lining some serious consideration.

Bonfire night…and today the entire trip almost went bang on us.
Verdun to Reims was the planned trip today. 70 miles of open but mainly flat countryside should have been ok as long as the weather held up..We set off early and by 8.30am we were out of Verdun and out on the open road. Things were going well. The countryside surrounding the north of Verdun is as magnificent as it is sad. The land is littered with cemeteries and land still bears the marks of the savage fighting of early 1916 where the German army threatened to 'Bleed France white'…
Then, 10.5 miles north of Verdun something bad happened. 4 spokes from my back wheel decided that they didn't want to continue on the trip and snapped. The diagnosis wasn't good, the bike couldn't be ridden until some more spokes could be found…and in the middle of nowhere those spokes were not forthcoming.
The only option was to walk back to Verdun and try and find a place that sold spokes…so off we trudged, walking the 10 miles were had just ridden over..During that walk my heart sank so low…I was convinced that I was not going to be able to continue the ride…I started to think about how I would get home, and how I would face everyone having failed to complete the trip, those thoughts got me very depressed and I will be honest – I cried like a baby…it was a long long walk back to Verdun. Thankfully the rain was only very light, but the wind was still very strong and the walk was not fun. We found a supermarche but they didnt sell spokes, they did however sell spoke keys and so Steve set about trying to repair the spokes I did have and even took a few from the front wheel to put in the back one. It was freezing cold and the job was painful but he managed to replace 2 spokes. After a quick test drive in the carpark we then found out that Steve also had a puncture, so that needed to be repaired before we decided what to do next.
By this time it was gone 2pm. There was no way we could ride to Reims, and indeed we didn't know if my bike could take the journey, so we decided to get the train. French trains are great – Mr Brown, pls take a few trips on the French railway system and make copious notes on how to improve our sorry national rail service.
We arrived in Reims about 6pm and then preceded to walk another 7 or 8 miles across town to our hotel.
So we have arrived at Reims, it is a very busy place with a remarkable cathedrale..we are off to St. Quentin tomorrow – 55 miles or so, I am not sure if the bike will make it to be honest, I will have to go careful with it, it could break at any moment and short of buying a new wheel or new bike (I went in to a bike shop in Reims only to be told to get out as they closed 3 minutes before) there will be no cure and it will be the Eurostar back to Blighty..
Fingers crossed for tomorrow let's get this cycle ride back on track…

The Drive for Real-time Collaboration
It's becoming a familiar scene in companies of all sizes: A team works closely together, jumping from instant messages to video conferences to over-the-phone meetings. They collaborate and accomplish goals side-by-side every day -- without ever actually meeting face-to-face.
Real-time collaboration tools not only connect teams more effectively, but also provide considerable cost savings to your organization. As a result, IT managers are increasingly recognizing the need for real-time collaboration among team members -- no matter their location. "The value of collaborating is about community. You have to be where people are to make it work," says Jon Arnold, an analyst and principal of J Arnold & Associates.
According to Ted Schadler of Forrester Research Inc., what's driving the need is the growing trend of distributed organizations, the rising number of remote workers, and the upsurge of business-to-business teams. Here's what experts say you need to know about real-time collaboration tools and best practices for implementation:
1. Know the real-time collaboration tool landscape.
When it comes to real-time collaboration tools, the theme is "synchronous." Tools need to allow teams to truly communicate in real time. Among the real-time technologies becoming mainstays in many organizations are:
Advanced messaging. IM has grown beyond chat. Now, employees can send each other files without size limits, switch into video chatting or create a live conference with multiple co-workers on the spot
Smartphones. Employees can now stay seamlessly connected to their team via email, texting, document sharing and calls -- all on their smartphones
Screen sharing. These tools allow teams to actually see each other's desktops at the same time. Some services even let you take control of someone else's desktop, making it easy to work on projects at the same time, on the same screen
Virtual whiteboarding. The entire group can share a common sketchpad, easy for sharing ideas and files on a blank canvas
Telepresence or Web conferencing. Emerging telepresence tools create the illusion of teams interacting in the same room, even when they are miles apart. Webcams that enable one-on-one video conferencing also fall into this category. Many programs now offer recording features too, which are useful to play back later to note explicit directions and follow up with others
2. Know how tools solve common problems.
All teams don't need all real-time communication tools. And each communication tool does not need to have all the above features. The key is to offer and support the right mix that increases productivity (and ideally lowers costs) without creating distractions. "Look at key processes that can be improved by real-time collaboration," says Smith. "Maybe it's customer service -- like you can speed up the time it takes to answer clients."
3. Know who is driving virtual collaboration.
Forrester recommends taking stock of so-called "alpha collaborators," or employees who are already using collaboration tools. "They are your greatest resource for identifying new tools, driving adoption and testing new scenarios," reports Forrester.
For employees, the expectations for real-time collaboration tools will only continue to expand. "People are living with these tools in their personal life," says Arnold. "And they are bringing those expectations to the workplace."

asteria brauchte ein neues Anderes Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 123 Designs von 20 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Asteria Solutions Group
Asteria Solutions Group is a group of young, dynamic people who develop custom telephony applications and commercial software products. Custom applications include notification systems, Interactive Voice Recognition (IVR) solutions (examples: ordering and payment systems using the dial pad on a telephone or speech recognition), and conference calling applications. We sell a commercial call center product that includes a module that a customer service representative would use to field a call, and a supervisor module to manage the CSRs fielding calls. We also sell (and lease) a high volume automated outbound dialer that can be used for messaging, polling, and prospecting (telemarketing) purposes. We develop products using open-source software such as Asterisk, OpenSIPs, Apache, and Postgres. The Asterisk component provides support for traditional telephony (analog and digital circuitry - or land lines) as well as VoIP (Voice Over IP).
We target call centers of 50 seats or less who take inbound calls. We also target anyone using automated dialing to feed calls to their call centers, do polling (like TV ratings or political polls), broadcast messaging (telemarketing), appointment scheduling, etc. We also do lots of custom development around telephony.
We are in need of updated graphics for a new trade show booth that we will be purchasing. We would like to coordinate with the colors in our logo (red and black) as we have dark gray and red flooring (that fits together like a puzzle and looks like a checkerboard when assembled). Other colors are ok too.
The design should incorporate the catch phrase: Dial It In
It could also (but doesn't have to) incorporate these words for our target markets: Call Centers, Dialers, IVRs.
We're have no preconceived notions about what the graphics should be or look like. Your imagination is your only limit. The graphic that you will design will be a large graphic that will span from the floor to the top of the exhibit (45"w x 96"h).
The graphics do not need to incorporate our logo as we have other space for logo graphics.
Logo files and a rendering of our new booth is attached.
For more information about us or our products, our website is http://www.asteriasgi.com. Please only use the website for informational purposes – not graphic inspiration. If this goes well, we will have additional jobs for graphics and updating our website as well.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin is leading a fight against proposed cuts to Medicare reimbursements for rural hospitals that she says will reduce access to health care and weaken rural economies across the nation.
The Wisconsin Democrat and 19 other senators sent a letter dated Thursday to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus and Sen. Orrin Hatch, the highest ranking Republican on the committee, protesting changes to how Medicare classifies and pays critical access hospitals, or CAHs. The facilities provide services in rural areas that have few other health care options and generally receive higher Medicare reimbursements.
President Barack Obama's administration has proposed removing the CAH designation for any hospital within 10 miles of another and reducing the rate of reimbursement from 101 percent to 100 percent of reasonable costs in the 2014 fiscal year budget. The Office of Management and Budget estimates that would save more than $2 billion over 10 years, with some $690 million of that coming from eliminating the CAH designation for hospitals that are close to others.
Baldwin's office says at least eight hospitals in Wisconsin and 71 nationwide would lose CAH status under those changes.
"If enacted, these policies would compromise access to health care and weaken rural economies in Wisconsin and across the country. I fear that these proposals could even force many rural Wisconsin hospitals to shut their doors — causing a ripple effect on our economy and leaving many without access to care," Baldwin said in a statement Friday.
There are more than 1,300 CAHs in the United States, according to the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Inspector General. They provide care to about 2.3 million Medicare beneficiaries in 2011 at a cost of about $8.5 billion.
Hospital groups, including the National Rural Health Association, note this represents only about 5 percent of the Medicare hospital budget and the agency spends less per patient in rural areas than urban ones.
Obama's plan would affect CAHs that have been deemed necessary providers. CAHs must be in rural areas and more than 35 miles from the nearest hospital, or more than a 15-mile drive in mountainous terrain. Before Jan. 1, 2006, states could exempt hospitals from the distance requirement by designating them as necessary providers. Most states did this with hospitals in areas with few health care providers or high unemployment or poverty rates.
Baldwin also expressed concern about an Office of the Inspector General report last week that would go even further than the president's plan.
Medicare generally has verified that hospitals meet the CAH distance requirement when they enroll, but not after. If it did, about 850 of the more than 1,300 CAHs would no longer qualify for that designation, the report said. It estimated Medicare would have saved an average of about $860,000 per decertified CAH in 2011.
The Wisconsin Hospital Association has said such a change would affect 53 of the 58 CAHs in Wisconsin and could lead to many rural hospitals closing.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

NOIRMOUTIER, France -- Twenty-two members of the Crestview Sister City organization were front and center for a weekend of celebration and commemoration as their French hosts honored the heroic Americans who helped liberate their island at the end of World War II.
NOIRMOUTIER, France � A trip 70 years back in time was memorable for 22 Crestview Sister City members who visited this French island.
For the first time in seven decades, a B-17 Flying Fortress roared low over the beach of La Gu�rini�re, a small village on the island's west coast.
On July 4, 1943, another B-17, the "Battling Bastards" � returning from a bombing raid on a German-held airfield � crash-landed in low-tide shallows near Camp Tirpitz, a German blockhouse fortification.
The 10 crewmembers survived the crash and spent the rest of the war as German prisoners. Their plane's wreckage can still be seen at low tide, a vivid reminder to swimmers and fishermen of their community's freedom.
"We keep it so everyone on the island remembers what our American friends did to help liberate us," Noirmoutier Sister City committee vice president G�rard Moreau said.
The crash was the focus of "Wings of Freedom," a June 29 and 30 commemoration of the American forces� role in freeing the island from German occupation.
Front and center was the Crestview delegation, augmented by the sons of two Battling Bastards and the co-pilot�s brother and grandson.
Click here to see a photo gallery of Crestview's delegation exploring France
Niceville resident Don Bohler, a member of the Crestview group, had spent several months tracking down families of the B-17 crew and was rewarded when some of them joined the celebration.
They were honored guests during the ceremonial unveiling of a monument dedicated to the crew on the beach near the crash site.
"My wife and I were planning to vacation in Hawaii," said Richard Burton, son of tail gunner Harold Burton. "When we got Don's phone call, I told her, 'Hawaii can wait.'"
"Isn't it interesting that an event 70 years ago � that probably lasted less than an hour � has brought people together from different nations to keep the terrible memories of war alive and bring into perspective the value of peace and freedom?" said Gregg Stephenson, grandson of co-pilot Hubert Stephenson.
Noirmoutier�s classic vehicles club organized events on the beach and displayed their restored war-era Jeeps, troop trucks and civilian cars.
Their historic reenactment on the beach, scripted from actual wartime events, starred club members and some of the Crestview group's host families in authentic German, American, Free French and British uniforms, and civilian garb.
Shells exploded and the crackle of gunfire mingled with stirring music as a vintage landing ship dropped its front loading gate and Allied troops stormed the beach.
The weekend's grand finale, the flyover of the "Sally B," the last operational B-17 in Europe, drew cheers from thousands of people gathered on the beach.
Crestview visitors� presence, maintaining the memory of Americans' roles in liberating their island, drew the praise of U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller-R, Fla.
"The island of Noirmoutier ... maintains an inextricable link with our nation's military history," he said June 12 in the House. "I am privileged to recognize the friendship between the people of Northwest Florida and Noirmoutier."

Experience the madness of Marrakech, visit the beautiful Cascades D'Ouzoud and take the road less travelled up into the High Atlas Mountains for a taste of the real Morocco. Top it off with some coastal relaxation in Essaouira.
Trip Highlights
Not Included
Arrival in Marrakech airport where you will be met by the On the Go guide and transferred to your centrally located hotel or riad. The remainder of the day and evening are free to explore the vibrant Djemaa el Fna square. Full of colour, spicy aromas and traders, it is best seen in the evening when overflowing with people, acrobats, fortune tellers, snake charmers and much more!
Overnight: Marrakech
Bahia Palace & the old medina
This morning enjoy a guided city tour, taking in all the highlights of Marrakech including the Koutoubia mosque and Bahia palace. Spend the afternoon at leisure, perhaps visit to the beautiful Jardins de Majorelle or wander around the souks.
Overnight: Marrakech | Breakfast
Cascades D'Ouzoud
Marrakech - Ait Bougamez. An early morning departure takes you off into the High Atlas along the route for Fes. After a short drive we turn off south and arrive at the glorious waterfall of the Cascades D'Ouzoud for lunch.
After taking some time to rest and enjoy our magnificent surroundings its time to hit the twisty mountain road past Azilal and reach the heart of the High Atlas – the valley of Ait Bougamez.
Ait Bougemez is a hidden gem, a valley close to Ighil Mgoun, the highest summit in Morocco apart from the Toubkal range. The area is popular for trekking, as there is a long, easy trek from the Tessaout Sources/ Tarkeddid plateau, which is reached from the Ait Bougmez valley. Exploring the valley is easily done on foot and it can be preferable to driving, as so many places still have poor roads. The centre of the region is the village of Tabant, and from here, in less than an hours walk, several small villages can be explored - Imelghas, Iskatafene, Ikhf-n-Ighir, Agouti, Ait Imi Iqballioun, Ifrane, and Arous. Three hours walk away is the village of Taghoulit. With incredibly striking scenery and off the beaten track location, Ait Bougmez is still unspoilt. Here you'll spend the next three nights in a Kasbah, exploring the beautiful surrounding area.
Overnight: Ait Bougmez | Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
High Atlas
Today you can take a mule ride to the Dinosaur tracks at the head of the valley, the route winding through the fields of grain and the apple and almond orchards. After a picnic in the hills, return to the Kasbah via different route, stopping for a cup of tea in a berber house.
Overnight: Ait Bougmez | Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Sidi Moussa
If you're feeling energetic, a walk up to the pass of Tizi ait Imi is well rewarded with views of Jbel Mgoun and the southern peaks of the High Atlas, otherwise its possible to take a walk around the village, maybe see the feltmakers and carpet makers at work and have a picnic at the side of a stream watching the farmers in the fields. In the afternoon take a walk up to the World heritage site of Sidi Moussa - an ancient granary and fortification.
Overnight: Ait Bougmez | Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Lake Bin Ouidane
Ait Bougamez - Marrakech. Descending from the mountains today, take the route past the lake of Bin Ouidane, where many richer Moroccans go for water sports, and then descend a sheer road down to the Orange farms of Beni mellal. Taking the road back to Marrakech. Spend the evening at leisure, perhaps wander around the souks, or enjoy a meal in one of the roof top restaurants overlooking Djemaa el Fna.
Overnight: Marrakech | Breakfast
Marrakech - Essaouira. This morning journey Essaouira, about 2.5 hrs away from Marrakech. Essaouira is a quiet seaside town with a long beach, an interesting little medina with souks and a grand harbour and fortifications. It's the perfect place to relax either on the beach or in a cafe on the square, or just watching the fishing boats coming in and out of the harbour.
Essaouira has avoided becoming a tourist trap and maintains the original charm which made it a firm favourite with many legendary stars, including Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley and Orson Welles who filmed Othello in Essaouira.
Overnight: Essaouira | Breakfast
Discover the Atlantic - beachside
Enjoy a lazy day at leisure in Essaouira. Perhaps take a camel ride along the beach, try a spot of wind surfing or simply laze about and soak up the sun. If you fancy some retail therapy there are plenty of souks, a jewellery quarter and some good art galleries. Tonight why not try one of the many tasty restaurants in the medina, where seafood is the speciality
Overnight: Essaouira | Breakfast
Marrakech - your own way
Essaouira - Marrakech. After a morning in Essaouira, you'll be transferred to Marrakech. On the way back its possible to stop at an Argan oil co-operative to see how the argan nuts from all the forests around Essaouira are converted into oils and soaps. Arrive back in time for some last minute souvenir shopping.
Overnight: Marrakech | Breakfast
Hotel check out and included onward departure transfer to the airport.
Prices & Dates
Prices shown are 'per person', based on a travelling party of at least 2 adults. The single supplement price needs to be added to the per person price if single rooms are required. If travelling solo, an additional '1-person' supplement will apply.Read More

Taricaya Rescue Center in Peru celebrated six years of wonderful work
Earlier in May, the first baby howler monkey was born at the Taricaya Rescue Center, giving the center yet another reason to celebrate this month. Yesterday, on May 28th, the Taricaya Rescue Center celebrated six years of wonderful work in Peru and will add the birth of this little fellow to its already long list of achievements.
To celebrate, they planned to release Machete, a Southern Tamandua (Tamandua Tetradactyla), into the safety of the reserve. As its name suggests, this particular creature arrived on their doorstep around three months ago with several wounds that had been inflicted by a machete.
A tamandua is a medium-sized anteater that lazily moves around the trees of the forest looking for termite and ant nests. With fused snouts and specialized tongues, they are unable to inflict a bite of any sort and, whilst they have strong claws for climbing, they are no danger to anything other than the ants and termites that they feast on.
The needless violence towards this young adult was shocking and the horrific nature of his injuries made our team even more determined to save him. They rushed him straight away to a nearby vet as our facilities in Taricaya could not deal with the extent of his injuries. Every cut had to be cleaned and stitched, and a strong course of antibiotics was started. Even then, his recovery looked very unlikely, and staff and volunteers took turns providing constant attention.
After almost three weeks, he was finally able to stand and move around independently. A purée of milk, termites and minced beef aided his amazing recovery a month later and now, a few weeks on, he is ready to be released.
The Taricaya Rescue Center has gone from strength to strength over the past six years and it has been officially appointed the first Animal Release Center in this part of South America. We are pioneering this concept and have already released many animals back into their natural habitats.
So far, 26 species of mammal, 13 species of bird and 4 species of reptile have been released into safe environments. Mainly birds and small mammals, such as monkeys, have been at the receiving end of this project but the center can also account for the release of a jaguar, a puma and two tapirs.
It seems apt that this fond farewell to Machete is timed so succinctly with a much welcomed new arrival. Thus continues the circle of life thanks to everyone's continual hard work and dedication at the rescue center.

The 37th ISAF Youth Worlds will take place in Kingston, Ontario, Canada from 12-21 July, with racing out of Portsmouth Olympic Harbour in seven events. ISAF Member National Authorities (MNA) can apply for funding from the APP to help their sailors meet the travel costs and entry fees to attend the Championships.
At last year's record breaking Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship, 19 sailors competed in Weymouth, Great Britain with funding from the APP.
Sailors and parents interested in the APP should contact their MNA to make an application.
About The APP
The APP has an annual budget of £15,000 to assist sailors from smaller, developing sailing nations - in particular those new to ISAF Championships - pay for travel costs and entry fees. As well as being able to compete at the world's premier youth event, the young sailors on the APP also receiving coaching throughout the regatta from renowned British coach Jim SALTONSTALL, whose appointment is funded by the World Youth Sailing Trust.
The APP has assisted over 100 sailors attend the Youth Worlds since 2003. At last year's Youth Worlds in Great Britain, 19 sailors from 15 different nations on the APP contributed to a record breaking total of 281 sailors from 63 nations. In 2004, ISAF introduced the Long Term Funding Programme which enables developing countries to plan and prepare for future Youth Worlds knowing that funding will be available to them at least one year in advance.

TYRE, Lebanon — Heading a southern Lebanese diocese that goes from the sea then east two-thirds of the way along the border with Israel, the one problem Melkite Archbishop George Bakhouni of Tyre says he doesn't have is finding priests.
In fact, the archbishop said, he's surprised bishops and other leaders of the Latin-rite church aren't more interested in the Eastern Catholic churches' experience with ordaining married men.
"Christianity survived in the Middle East because of the married priests," the bishop said. Because they are married with families and homes, they tend to stay even when conflicts and hardship send many celibate priests fleeing to safety.
The archbishop met Saturday with a small group of Catholic journalists visiting Lebanon with the Catholic Near East Welfare Association, a North American agency supporting Christians in the region.
For the archdiocese's 10 parishes, "I have 12 priests. Eight of them are married and four are single, but two of the singles are serving in Italy," the archbishop said.
"We always propose this to the Latin church because you are Catholic and we are Catholic, but we always feel a lot of reticence when we mention this issue to the Roman Catholic Church. I don't know, but I think it could be helpful to allow a married person to be a priest."
The celibacy rule for priests in the Latin-rite church has always been defined as a church discipline, not a theologically or scripturally based dogma that is unchangeable.
The archbishop knows all the arguments against relaxing the celibacy requirement in the Latin church, but in his experience, ordaining married men is the most naturally pastoral response to every Catholic's need for regular access to the sacraments.
In little villages where there may be only 20 or 30 families, he said, it would be hard to find a single, celibate priest who would be happy to live and minister there. And that handful of families would not be able to support him.
The Eastern tradition, he said, is "to choose someone who has his own work in the particular village, a good man, a faithful man, a Christian man. He will study a little bit, some theology and philosophy, and he will be ordained."
The archbishop said it doesn't matter that it's impractical to send a married man to the seminary for six years. "We don't want all of them to be doctors or theologians," but witnesses. Priests don't all have to be well spoken orators; they could even be fishermen, like the Apostles, he said.
The important thing, he said, is that they live exemplary lives among their fellow villagers, know a bit of theology and the Bible and that they are available to celebrate the sacraments.

After outgrowing a succession of Midwestern venues, the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show moved south for its 18th annual edition. This year's location was the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Beautiful weather greeted the show's attendees all three days as they navigated the nearly 1 million square foot show floor. The PRI Show, like the SEMA Show, is for the trade only and is closed to the general public. Quite a number of significant drag racing vehicles were on display and here is your chance to see the best of those.
Arnie Beswick suffered a horrific fire in 2003 during a match race that destroyed his Tameless Tiger 1964 GTO. On display in the Alston Race Cars booth was his newly reborn Tameless Tiger II. A two-year construction period has resulted in what is, arguably, the finest race car that Arnie has ever owned. It even features working OEM door handles. Long time Beswick fans are as eager as Arnie to see this vehicle hit the track.
Another new Illinois GTO also made its debut at PRI. This is the 2006 Pontiac IHRA Pro Stocker of Crete, Illinois' Pete and Cheryl Berner. After many years as a Ford man, Berner has made the switch to GM power for next year's IHRA tour. Created by Rick Jones' RJ Race Cars this baby is also a stunner and was on display in the Ram Clutch booth.
The new car derby continued in the TRD booth where the spectacular new 2006 Toyota Solara coupe of Matt Scranton was on display. Also built by Rick Jones, the Solara replaces Matt's Celica. Not ready to be put out to pasture completely, the Celica was on display in the Tial booth.
In the Suncoast Chassis booth was this fresh from the mold 2006 Corvette body. This body is Pro Mod ready with all of the modifications required to create a competitive race car. It features raised quarter panels, wheelie bar openings and a 45" front overhang. It has also been narrowed. Available in composite or carbon fiber, this is the composite version. Just visible at the top of picture is their 2006 Ford Mustang body. Also available in composite or carbon fiber, Brian Seward was the first recipient of a carbon fiber version.
Tony Schumacher was the recipient of this year's Economaki Champion of Champions award. Presented by Rockett Brand Racing Fuels, the award is named after Chris Economaki, the Publisher Emeritus of National Speed Sport News. Tony is the first straight-liner, as Chris would say, to win the award. He follows previous winners J. J. Yeley and Steve Kinser, both circle trackers. In this photo Tony is addressing the assembled media after being announced as the winner.
In the Jesel booth was the IHRA Pro Stock Chevrolet Cobalt of Rob Mansfield. We didn't see Rob at all of the IHRA events in 2005 but he was definitely competitive at the races that he did attend. Hopefully he'll be able to run the entire tour in 2006.
Rob was another of the racers whose cars were doing double duty. This is his Pontiac Grand Am, which preceded the Cobalt. It also was on display at PRI 2005.
This is the new Nissan 350 Z of Paterson, New Jersey's Carl Stevens, Jr. Built to compete in NHRA Modified, it has just 14 passes under its belt with a best run to date of 7.25 seconds at 189 miles-an-hour. It was on display in the Xtreme Race Cars booth. Look for Carl at all NOPI events in 2006 as well as East Coast Sony Xplod races.
In the Mickey Thompson Tire booth was the IHRA Corvette Funny Car of Mike Comella. Mike is one of several alcohol competitors that use M/T tires. Mike was the winner this past year of the inaugural Bar's Leaks US Funny Car Nationals, which was held at the US 131 Motorsports Park.
In the Vanishing Point Race Cars booth was this Pro Mod chassis. It lacked only a body to be race ready and is slated to receive, surprise surprise, a 1963 Corvette shell. Without its body the magnificent fabrication skills of Jim Geese and his staff at Vanishing Point were laid bare for all to see.
Shoe Box stalwart Charles Carpenter had his familiar 1955 Chevrolet in the booth of sponsor Embee Coatings. The '55 received some fresh body and paint work in preparation for the show and it looked beautiful under the building's lights. Charles reports that he will start the season with a freshened version of his venerable 728 cid engine while work continues on a new 738 cid power plant. He hopes to have that engine on track by midyear.
In the Quaker State booth was the 1993 Honda Civic of Kenny Tran. Powered by a 1.9 liter, highly-modified Acura Integra engine, the car has gone as quick as 8.16 seconds at 182 miles-an-hour. It uses a single turbo on methanol and Nitto NT320 tires to achieve that kind of performance.
PRI-14 Out in the registration area was the Cavalier of new IHRA Pro Mod World Champion Mike Castellana. Surprisingly the Cavalier did not yet sport a big number 1. The Cavalier was built by Tim McAmis Race Cars, who also built the number two, three and four points finishers in IHRA Pro Mod this year according to a sign in their booth.
Adjacent to the dining area was the Lexus GS race car of Justin Humphreys. Justin finished number 1 in the 2005 NHRA Sony Xplod Hot Rod points chase and recorded three wins during the past season. The Lexus was built by Telford, Pennsylvania's Vanishing Point Race Cars, who is more famous for their Pro Mod entries.
Another of the race cars out in the registration area was the VIP Sports Dodge Stratus of Frank and Dan Parker. This car was also freshened for this show and is now race ready for the 2006 season. According to Dan, their work with this body has resulted in the sale of 10 Stratus bodies to other alcohol competitors. Chrysler Corporation is so pleased with their efforts that they have been now been told that they will get the first Dodge Charger body that goes to an alcohol racer.
Adelbertus Kelkboom of Aruba had his Escort on display in the Aruba Tourism booth. An infrequent competitor stateside in recent years, Kelkboom promises more USA races in 2006.
Jack Wyatt had his familiar Pontiac Firebird NHRA Fuel Funny Car on display in the booth of sponsor, Race Girl apparel. Joining him was NASCAR Busch driver Kertus Davis with his Monte Carlo. Yes, that is how Kertus spells his name. Must be a "Southern" thing!
I wanted to pick the most spectacular drag car of the show but in the end it came down to a tie. Co-winner of my unofficial award was the new 1957 Chevrolet Pro Mod of High Ridge, Missouri's Andy McCoy. Built at his Andy McCoy Race Cars, the car features a full size (not shrunken) carbon fiber body, with correct wheel openings, that lifts off. A 526 cid Hemi by Jeff Fowler provides the go power and Andy hopes to run the entire IHRA season. The car was in the Percy's booth, which last year also hosted my award winner in the form of Mike Stawicki's then-unfinished 1968 Camaro.
The other co-winner of my award was the spectacular new Pro 5.0 Ford Escort of John Gullet. Very similar to a Pro Mod race car in overall shape and rear deck layout, the body was actually installed on the show floor after the completed chassis had been hauled in the day before.
The Escort is set up to take both 400 and 500 cubic inch engines and replaces John's current Mustang. FX Visual Custom Paint and Body of Jacksonville, Florida prepared the car and it should be quite something when it is completely done.

The City of Sydney is going ahead with its long-planned "trigeneration" proposal, in which localized power plants on building roofs and basements will supplement – and eventually partly replace – the coal-fired electricity that currently powers the city.
The council has approved the first $100 million stage of a $AU440 million overall project, with Cogent Energy to start building the in-CBD network, something that will come as a relief to data centre operators who find it increasingly difficult to power new CBD facilities.
The Origin Energy-owned Cogent was nominated to lead the project by the council three months ago.
Sydney's CBD remains a popular location for data centres, in spite of the difficulty operators face in securing power the multiple high-power feeds they need to multi-home their electricity input.
The long-term plan that Lord Mayor Clover Moore says was approved last night could eventually see the CBD 70 percent self-sufficient in electricity by 2030 – something she told ABC Radio's AM this morning would also relieve cost pressures on network operators, who could save $AU1.5 billion in network upgrades that would otherwise be needed to support the city's growth.
Trigeneration uses gas-powered generators, and recovers the heat that would otherwise be lost to the atmosphere for building heating, as well as using hot water to supply the energy for air-conditioning.
Allen Jones, who heads the project for the City of Sydney's Sydney2030 masterplan, says that 30 percent of a coal-fired power station's energy is lost as waste heat.
Last week, the city announced another Australian first, beginning a city-wide rollout of LED street lighting as a power-saving measure. ®
Update: This story originally put the value of the current contract at $AU400 million. Origin Energy advises that this stage of the project is worth $AU100 million.
The first two stages of the trigeneration project will cover areas in the north and south of the CBD, Pyrmont and Broadway, and the Green Square project. ®

So we know that on GPU (Nvidia specifically) that global memory access is a lot slower than local storage. Does anybody know how the memory spaces, in particular constant memory, compare?
I have some routines that calculate values based on tables as static constants in the source and I'm wondering if I copied these in to local memory whether I might get a speed increase. The OpenCL spec says that constants are allocated in an area of global memory, so should I expect to have to do similar caching techniques as I do with global memory, or do constants get loaded into a faster access store?


text: D3ads 2,254 Report post Posted August 2, 2006 It's happening folks: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/40274 EA Presents System Shock? (UPDATED) [01] 151 Comments - Chris Remo UPDATE: Shacknews has received word from a very reputable source, who requested to remain anonymous, that EA is in fact working on a project referred to as System Shock 3. EA has yet to give an official response to Shacknews' inquiries regarding the original story, but more information will be posted as it becomes available. UPDATE 2: EA responded to Shacknews' inquiries, stating that it is EA's policy to regularly maintain its trademarks. As far as System Shock 3 itself, it comes as no surprise that the official response is, "We don't comment on rumors." As Take-Two announced its acquisition of System Shock 2 developer Irrational Games, various news sources have reported on an intriguing trademark issued last month to Electronic Arts by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It registers the System Shock name as a trademark for use in a computer game, prompting some to wonder if EA plans to revive the franchise. Currently, Irrational is working on a "spiritual successor" to its acclaimed System Shock 2, which has achieved something of a legendary status among PC gamers in the more than five years since its release. Registered December 15, 2005, the language used in the patent specifies "a computer game that may be accessed network-wide by network users" and/or "an online computer game accessed and played via mobile and cellular phones and other wireless devices." That second one is rather surprising. Perhaps it's just there to cover all possible bases, but somebody who wants to travel out on a limb might speculate that it suggests an "alternate reality game." After all, EA did publish the well-intentioned but flawed Majestic, a game that begins on the PC but expands out to players' cell phones and email inboxes. While Majestic wasn't exactly a success, it was created and championed by EA's Neil Young, an outspoken and high-up executive at the commpany. Young has continued to speak in support of the concept behind Majestic even if it wasn't a commercial blockbuster. And System Shock, with its plot centered around a self-aware AI, does seem like an ideal universe for such a setting. Of course, that is all rampant speculation. EA might be working on some kind of sequel to the series, but more likely it's simply a renewal of the trademark to keep tabs on the intellectual property. There's also the appealing notion of a simple reprint of the past games. HELL FUCKING YES!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
