Auxo Overhauls the iPhone App Switcher with Previews, a New Playback Page, and Settings Toggles

iOS (Jailbroken): Auxo is a jailbreak tweak that changes how the app switcher on iOS works. Auxo uses small previews instead of just an app icon, redesigns the music playback page, adds toggles, and more.

You load up Auxo just like you would the normal app switcher in iOS with a double tab of the home button. The main difference you'll notice right away with Auxo is that it actually gives you a preview of the app currently running instead of just showing you the icon. From there, you can swipe down on an icon to kill that app, or swipe right to get to the redesigned playback controls for the music app. You'll also find quick toggles to enable functions like Bluetooth, 3G, and lock rotation. It seems simple, but Auxo works incredibly well and looks great doing it. It supports iOS 5.1 and up, and you can find it by searching for "Auxo" in Cydia.

College Basketball: Regents' rally falls short against Millikin men

ROCKFORD ? With a couple of bounds off the rim, Rockford College?s hot streak to end the year turned cold.

Scott Suchy got good looks at a pair of 3-pointers that would have tied the game in the last 30 seconds but came up short on each, and the Regents watched as their comeback did the same.

Millikin got 26 points, including 7-for-12 shooting from 3-point range, from Trent Windemuller and pulled off a 78-75 win Saturday in Rockford.

?Somehow we were still in this until the end,? Rockford senior leader Grant Olsen (12 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 0 turnovers) said. ?We kept fighting, and we had a shot.?

Suchy missed the late 3s, but the junior transfer from Kishwaukee still finished with 20 points and seven rebounds. He also brought Rockford all the way back from a double-digit, second-half deficit, cutting it to one with under five minutes to play on his final trey of the day.

The Big Blue did not make a field goal in the final 1:49, and went 5-for-16 from the free-throw line in the game. But the Regents made 3-for-14 from long range in the second half, and they were unable to keep their recent surge alive.

Now Regent head coach Ryan Rebsom is hoping they can regain some of that momentum before 2013 arrives. Rockford, which closes out the year with a road game Monday in Joliet, won five of its past six to climb to .500 on the season headed into Saturday?s game.

?Yeah, well, we?ve been making steps. When this team is hitting its shots, we can beat anybody,? he said. ?But, even right now, we?re still an average defensive team, and we don?t talk enough, and we don?t do the things we have to do defensively to win these close ones.?

Women in title game
Rockford held off Spalding 66-62 for a road win that goes down as its second win of the season. Erin Ryczek posted 16 points and Lindsay Lengjak added 14 points as the Regents advanced to the DePauw University Tournament championship game at 5 p.m. today.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A Democratic aide says the White House and congressional Republicans have reached an agreement to avert the so-called fiscal cliff.

The measure would extend Bush-era tax cuts for family incomes below $450,000 and briefly avert across-the-board spending cuts set to strike the Pentagon and domestic agencies this week.

Vice President Joe Biden was set to sell the agreement to Senate Democrats at a meeting at the Capitol on Monday night.

The aide required anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly.

Board Games FTW! | My Pen, My Voice .;*

Although my favourite pastimes include reading, writing, and blogging, I?ve been taking some time to do other things during the holidays. Most importantly spending time with my family, as well as the bf?s family. The other night at the bf?s aunt?s house we decided to play a few board games and we started with (the surprisingly challenging) Scrabble.

I don?t remember being a board game lover as a kid, except for DREAM PHONE?

?

?but after a few rounds of Scrabble and an intense game of Snakes & Ladders, I developed a new appreciation for them and their ability to create some family bonding time. I enjoyed our board game night so much that last night we had an Oscar Trivia night over coffee/wine with my parents, and today we purchased a few games for New Year?s Eve.

I know that nothing brings a family together like a great meal but I think board games have the ability to do the same ? add in a little wine and you?ve got the most wonderful evening ahead. THAT is how I plan on spending my New Year?s Eve, celebrating 2012 and ringing in 2013 surrounded by my family, my boyfriend, great food, a few glasses of wine, and playing board games to my heart?s content.

I?m hoping that after the winding-down of twenty-twelve, I will be able to look forward to the new year. I feel as though I?m just waiting for a reason to try something new, to send out short stories to magazines, to find the job of my dreams, to travel, to change around this blog, to take some writing classes ? ya know, to get started on all of my resolutions.

As this year comes to an end I will spend the next few days reflecting, remembering, and rejoicing in the year I just had.?I?m going to scoop up all of those memories and promises I made to myself and act on them.

?

Love Always?

University of Michigan making medical progress with very delicate cut

The University of Michigan is researching an ultrasound scalpel that can detach a single cancer cell from surrounding tissue.

The team found a way to change laser light into sound energy with a beam smaller than a human hair.

The beam blasts and cuts with pressure, rather than heat. ?

It may make nearly painless surgery possible since the beam is small enough to avoid nerve fibers.

Hyoung Won Baac worked on the project as a doctoral student. ??He says it may allow a surgeon to be extremely delicate.

?Microcutting tumor tissues without touching, anything you know surrounding blood vessels?all just by these strong sound waves,? says Hyoung Won Baac.

Baac says that the technology could lead to an invisible knife for noninvasive surgery.

AP sources: Saints, Payton, agree to terms on deal

NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? The New Orleans Saints and suspended coach Sean Payton will indeed be together again next season as the bounty scandal fades into history and the bid to win a second Super Bowl resumes.

Payton has agreed in principle to a multiyear contract extension, according to two people familiar with the deal.

The people told The Associated Press about the deal Friday night on condition of anonymity because it hasn't been signed and final details regarding the length of the contract and financial compensation are still being worked out.

"Very happy it is official," Brees said in an email to the AP. "Never had any doubts."

Payton was due to begin his seventh season as the Saints' head coach in 2012 before being suspended for the whole season by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in connection with the NFL's bounty investigation.

Payton signed an extension in 2011 that would have kept him in New Orleans through 2015, but Goodell objected to certain language in that deal, leaving Payton's future uncertain until the deal was reached Friday. The language in question in the previous extension gave Payton the right to opt out early if general manager Mickey Loomis left the club for any reason.

The new agreement, which was first reported by Fox Sports, also must be approved by the NFL.

Payton is the only coach in Saints history to win a Super Bowl, a title earned at the end of the 2009 season. But his legacy was tarnished by the NFL's bounty probe, as Goodell ruled that Payton failed to exert proper institutional control over a cash-for-hits bounty program run by former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams from 2009-2011.

Although the Saints objected to the characterization of what coaches and players have said was nothing more than a performance pool for big plays, Goodell suspended Payton for the entire season. The commissioner also suspended Loomis for half of the season and assistant head coach Joe Vitt for six games.

Payton is 62-34 as in regular-season games as Saints head coach and 5-3 in the postseason. During the three seasons before his suspension, the Saints won 41 regular-season and playoff games combined, more than any other team in the NFL.

Payton has primarily handled the offense in New Orleans, teaming up with Brees to break numerous NFL and club records. The single-season NFL records set by the Saints in 2011 included yards passing by a team (5,505) and a quarterback (5,476). The Saints also set a record for total offensive yards with 7,474.

Although speculation ran rampant that Payton could essentially become a free agent after this season and end up elsewhere, Brees repeatedly said he would be "shocked" if Payton ended up anywhere but New Orleans next season. Brees is under contract with the Saints through the 2016 season, and Payton was the driving force in the Saints' effort to acquire Brees as a free agent in 2006.

Without Payton on the sideline this season, the Saints missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008. Brees remained prolific, but his 18 interceptions also tied for a league high heading into the final weekend of the season.

The Saints headed into Sunday's season finale against Carolina at 7-8, hoping to avoid their first losing season since they went 7-9 in 2007.

Payton is expected to return to the Saints immediately after the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, unless Goodell allows him to return earlier.

When Payton reports back to work, it will offically close the book on the bounty saga that has overshadowed the Saints' organization since the NFL first announced on March 2 that it found the Saints ran a program that paid improper cash bonuses for hits that injured opponents.

In addition to the suspensions of Payton, Loomis and Vitt, the Saints also were docked second-round draft choices in 2012 and 2013, though Goodell has said he could potentially restores the Saints' 2013 second-round choice and dock the team a later-round pick.

Meanwhile, four current or former Saints were initially given suspensions of varying lengths. Two current Saints defensive captains, linebacker Jon Vilma and defensive end Will Smith, were among those suspended. Vilma was banned for the whole season and Smith for four games, but the players successfully challenged their punishment with the help of the NFL Players Association and never served a game.

Former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who was appointed by Goodell to oversee the players' appeals, ruled that the NFL probe was accurate in its findings that the Saints ran and improper program and attempted to cover it up, but that the evidence was not strong enough to warrant unprecedented suspensions for players who had been only fined for similar behavior in the past.

Vanguard cut fees on dozens of mutual funds, ETFs

(Reuters) - Vanguard Group, the largest U.S. mutual fund manager, reduced fees across dozens of its index-tracking stock and bond funds, following similar moves by competitors.

The fee reductions range from five-hundredths to one-hundredth of a percentage point per year. With many of the funds already charging low fees of less than 0.20 percent Of assets, some of the reductions were the equivalent of a 20 percent fee cut.

Intense competition among managers of index mutual and exchange-traded funds has led to sharp price cutting across the industry over the past few months. BlackRock , the largest ETF manager, and brokerage firm Charles Schwab both announced price cuts earlier this year.

At Vanguard's line of broad equity sector funds, such as the firm's Consumer Discretionary ETF and Health Care ETF , fees declined to 0.14 percent from 0.19 percent. Vanguard, based in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, posted a full list of the fee cuts at http://link.reuters.com/cut84t.

Vanguard raised fees slightly on three actively managed equity mutual funds, including on both share classes of the $17.6 billion Vanguard International Growth Fund. Fees on the "Investor" share class rose to 0.49 percentage point from 0.47 while fees on the fund's "Admiral" class rose to 0.36 point from 0.34.

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Planning Special Wedding Tattoos?

Truth rating: 1

Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt

10:00 am, December 29th, 2012

(GettyImages)

According to OK!, ?When Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt finally take the plunge into matrimony this summer they are going to mark the occasion with something even more lasting than jewelry: They plan to get special tattoos.?

?They?re finalizing designs now, but all they?ll say is it will be ?very intimate,?? says a source for the tabloid.

But there?s allegedly a problem.

OK! claims the stars are ?having a hard time agreeing on a design.?

?Angelina loves complicated and deeply thought-out tattoos that only have meaning to her and those closest to her,? explains a mag insider. ?Brad likes something more visual and even suggested they do something a little silly, like a favorite cartoon character.?

Uh-huh.

Oh, but the supposed issues don?t end there!

?They can?t seem to decide what size and on which body part they should add the new decorations,? reports OK!

In other words, the tabloid can?t tell us anything about the alleged wedding tattoos.

It?s appropriate, since OK! recently pretended to have insight into the nuptials themselves ? and whiffed.

Of course, the same publication falsely insisted the couple had secretly married more than a year ago, and wrongly claimed Jolie was pregnant with twins last February.

OK!?s sources have consistently fed the magazine inaccurate information, and when the tab has nothing to say, it comes up with vague, baseless ?reporting? like this piece about Jolie and Pitt?s wedding tattoos.

An actual source close to the situation tells Gossip Cop the ?special tattoos? story is based on ?pure speculation.?

Gay marriage at Supreme Court: Will military couples get more benefits?

Same-sex military couples are not eligible for many benefits that heterosexual married couples in the military receive, including housing and medical care. But the Supreme Court could redefine the federal status of gay marriage next year.

When Chief Warrant Officer Charlie Morgan returned from a year-long deployment to Kuwait with the New Hampshire National Guard in 2010, her doctor didn?t have good news. The breast cancer thought to be in remission, the physician said, had returned, and the diagnosis was terminal.

That?s when Morgan began a new battle ? to make sure her wife and their daughter receive the same survivor benefits that would go to any other married couple with children.

The US Supreme Court?s decision to take up the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) could have a considerable impact on the benefits of same-sex spouses of service members, who were largely invisible to the military until the repeal of ?don?t ask, don?t tell? (DADT).

So far, the DADT repeal has simply meant that US troops no longer face being forced out of the military for their sexual orientation.

But for the partners of gay troops, the impact of the repeal has been less sweeping and more ambiguous.

Even when gay couples are legally married under state law, for example, Section 3 of DOMA forbids the US government from treating such military couples as married.

And so they are not eligible for the kinds of benefits that heterosexual married couples receive in the military, including housing, medical care, and in the case of Morgan and others, survivor benefits should they die while serving their country.

DOMA Section 3 is the specific measure that will be reviewed by the Supreme Court in March.?

Passed by Congress in 1996, the law declares that the word ?marriage? means only a legal union between one man and one woman and that the word ?spouse? refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is also a husband or wife.

As a result, under federal law, the benefits of marriage can go only to a person of the opposite sex, regardless of state law.

DOMA Section 3 has been declared unconstitutional by eight federal courts.?

The Obama administration said last year that it would enforce the law, but would no longer defend it in court.

Should DOMA Section 3 be struck down by the Supreme Court, ?My sense is that same-sex couples who are married under state law would be treated exactly the same as married couples are for the purposes of treatment on military installations and for benefits,? says Robert Tuttle, a law professor at George Washington University.

Currently, there is an ?exhaustive list? of benefits that same-sex spouses do not receive, says Zeke Stokes, spokesman for OutServe-Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, an advocacy organization in Washington.

Couple Cite Great Need for Bowel Cancer Screening | Stuff.co.nz

A Christchurch couple who helped run a "pioneer" bowel-screening programme in the city four years ago are frustrated a national screening programme is not being rolled out sooner.

Derek and Lynn Anderson lost their 46-year-old daughter to cancer this year.

Lisa Mitchell died from ovarian cancer in June after the disease was not found until it had spread to her bowel.

The Andersons have advocated for a national bowel-screening programme for more than four years after helping their Rotary club run a pilot programme in Christchurch in 2008.

"One person dies every seven hours from bowel cancer," Derek Anderson said.

"It's 15 hours for breast cancer and 20 hours for road deaths, but you hear so much more about those. We thought we'd do something about this."

The programme involved GPs in Redcliffs and Riccarton sending letters to 800 patients aged between 55 and 65, with no previous history of bowel cancer, encouraging them to buy a self-testing kit from the clinic for $5.

He said 387 people bought kits.

Forty-six tests came back with a positive result, requiring a colonoscopy for further investigation.

"We found a few cancers," Anderson said.

The Government last year decided to start a pilot bowel-screening programme in the Waitemata district, but a national programme was still several years away.

The Ministry of Health-led pilot would run for four years, offering bowel screening to people aged 50 to 74 who were eligible for publicly funded healthcare.

Anderson said early intervention was the best way to save lives, and the screening programme needed to be rolled out across the country as soon as possible.

"I'd like the trial to be sped up, but I know it's a matter of finance."

There was also shortage of doctors who could perform colonoscopies and remove any growths found in the bowel, he said.

He called for more training for health professionals, including training nurses to perform the tests.

Lynne Anderson said she was pleased the pilot was happening, but wondered how many people would die while it was completed.

SIGN: Recognising bowel cancer Bowel cancer ? also known as colorectal cancer or colon cancer ? is any cancer affecting the colon and rectum. Most bowel cancers start as benign growths, called polyps, on the wall of the bowel. They do not produce symptoms and most are not pre-cancerous. Up to 75 per cent of bowel cancer is curable if caught early.

SYMPTOMS INCLUDE: Rectal bleeding without any obvious reason. Change in bowel habits, such as going to the toilet more often or having looser stools for several weeks. Abdominal pain. Lumps or mass in the stomach. Weight loss. Tiredness.

Simplify your Business Life with Simple Productivity Tools ? Lauren ...

Time yourself for efficiency

Many people tend not to refer to themselves as minimalists. We simply buy, use, and collect too many things to think otherwise. Yet with all our gadgets, trinkets, and supplies, we usually find the most value in minimalist tools and methods that help increase our productivity.

Despite the appeal of multi-featured products and multitasking, I?ve found that having fewer tasks and options to focus on at a time makes getting things done a whole lot faster and easier. Here we?ll talk about three incredible tools you can use to simplify your business life, home life, and possible even your social life.

They are simple tools that focus your attention on very little at a time, and yet make sure that you excel at the little you set out to do. You?ll be able to accomplish what you need to do first, finally making time to do what you enjoy as well.

Evernote

Evernote has grown significantly since it was launched back in 2008. Reaching more than 11 million users last year, it has easily become one of the most popular productivity tools of our time.
Evernote is an organization tool for iPhones, iPads, and other mobile devices. The application can also run on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and various Internet browsers. On your computer Evernote can copy selected windows on the screen, including web pages if your browser supports it. You can then mark these copies with titles and organize them into notebook, archiving them in a number of ways.

On mobile devices, items you?ve copied can be synced directly to the Evernote cloud service, so you?ll never lose any of the information that you?re organizing. You can also take pictures from your smartphone or tablet and save them directly onto your Evernote account. You can also add GPS tagging and audio comments to each of the pictures you save.

There are hundreds of ways you can use this tool to your advantage. Many companies have switched to Evernote as their central filing system, abandoning physical paperwork altogether. Students use it as a great way to take written notes and keep track of their school work. Families use it as a cheap way to store their photos through a cloud service, versus an unsecure hard drive.
As you begin to use it, you?ll notice other little ways you can be more productive with this tool. For example, let?s say you?re going to a major mall, airport or other commercial area. Before you leave the parking lot, take a picture of your car, GPS tag it, and then you can use the GPS on your mobile device to walk right back to it later.

Evernote can be a valuable productivity tool if used correctly and consistently. Give it a try for a week and see how it works. There?s no downside and its basic service is completely free.

Pomodoro Technique

Developed back in the late 1980s, the Pomodoro technique is an incredible time management system that involves working in short focused waves. The basic idea is to use a timer and work on a single task for 25 minutes without any interruption, and then take a short break for 5 minutes. This takes a lot of pressure off a particular task while discouraging unnecessary multitasking.
The Pomodoro technique allows you to make calculated progress on all of your tasks by encouraging deep concentration without distractions instead of tackling it all at once and feeling overwhelmed. It?s simple, but very effective, and keeps you focused on what?s most important.

Steps:

• Select a take you need to accomplish today.
• Set a timer for 25 minutes and begin working on that task.
• When time is up, take a short 5 minute break.
• Repeat.

Every 4 cycles, take a 25 minute break.

You?ll notice after trying it that the Pomodoro technique is very easy to remember and follow. It doesn?t require any special software, lists, or other medium. You can practice it with anything.

Zendone

Zendone is complementary software to Evernote. It further explores the organization and productivity features that Evernote offers by creating a task management system for you.
When you connect Zendone to Evernote, you?ll choose one of your Evernote folders as your main task inbox. In the future, anything that you upload to that Evernote folder will also pop up in your Zendone inbox as a task. So with Evernote you have a fantastic way to collect and organize vast amounts of content on one digital interface using text, pictures, and audio recordings.

With Zendone, you can now designate what you want to do with this information and prioritize it in the form of daily tasks. If it?s just information for the file then you can archive it for reference, but if it something you need to get done at a later date, like paying a bill or taxes, then you can title it and organize it as a task in your Zendone inbox.

Try utilizing each of these three productivity tools to your advantage. Collect and store information on Evernote while using Zendone to organize it into tasks. Then use the Pomodoro technique to accomplish those tasks. Rinse and repeat. It?s a simple way to maximize your productivity while lowering your stress. Give it a try and let us know how it worked for you in the comments below.

Huawei Ascend D2 makes a brief pre-CES appearance

CES is right around the corner, and one of the devices Huawei will be showing off will be the Ascend D2, which was announced a few weeks ago. A batch of pictures have bubbled up giving us a closer look at the otherwise camera-shy D2. We all remember its predecessor, the dickwad D Quad, and it's battery-boosted bro, the D Quad XL, but the D2 stands to be a significant step up from both of them. The source of the latest batch of pictures of the device confirms it will have an HD-grade (1080p?) 5-inch display, a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor, 13 megapixel camera, run Android 4.1, and have a big honkin' 3,000 mAh battery. 

It's great to see Huawei continuing to push the higher-end market and get those devices into Europe and the U.S. - after all, competition is good, especially on price point. We may also see a new 6.1-inch tablet from Huawei at CES, which will be interesting to try out, to say the least.

Any of y'all happy Huawei device owners? Those that aren't, would you consider switching away from one of the bigger manufacturers if you could save a buck on your next device?

Putin signs antiadoption law, throwing pending adoptions into confusion

About 1,000 Russian children were adopted by US families in 2011, and around 50 such adoptions are pending.

By Fred Weir,?Correspondent / December 28, 2012

Orphan children play in their bedroom at an orphanage in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don December 19. A bill banning Americans from adopting Russian children went to President Vladimir Putin for his signature on December 26, 2012 after winning final approval from parliament in retaliation for a U.S. law that targets Russian human rights abusers.

President Vladimir Putin signed the Dima Yakovlev Act?into law Friday, banning all adoptions of Russian orphans by US citizens as of Jan. 1 and throwing dozens of currently ongoing adoptions into confusion.

The mood among workers in the almost 40 Russia-accredited adoption agencies, which?have survived repeated bouts of political tensions and ever-tightening regulations over the years,?was near despair Friday.

"We have two cases of adoption in court and we're just asking ourselves the same question, what will be next?" says Lyudmila Babich, of the Cold Spring, New York-based Happy Families Center.

"We have no text of this law, nor any explanations of what's supposed to happen now. So, we're waiting," she says.

Any hope that Mr. Putin might impose some restraint upon a measure that even members of his own cabinet have criticized?as possibly illegal and diplomatically disruptive were dashed Thursday when Putin explicitly endorsed the adoption ban and other tough measures against US citizens working in Russia in televised remarks.

"I see no reason not to sign the law," Putin said.

He added that he would also sign a presidential decree to improve procedures for adopting Russian orphans and abandoned children domestically, and also boost measures to help children with serious disabilities and health problems ? who were previously the major pool of orphans made available for foreign adoption.

About 1,000 Russian children were adopted by US families in 2011, down from the annual average of 3,000 or so in the past decade, and only a small portion of the 120,000 Russian children who are considered eligible for adoption. Under Russian law, a child can be offered to prospective foreign parents only after having been rejected three times by Russian families.

Framed as 'selling' children

Russian nationalists argue that it's a shame for Russian children to be "sold" abroad, and several of the lawmakers who championed the Dima Yakovlev bill argued they will sponsor further efforts to ease the plight of Russia's huge numbers of institutionalized children.

Putin lent his support to the harshest critics of international adoption Thursday, by casually likening Russian children taken into US families to economic refugees.

"There are probably many places in the world where living standards are higher than ours. So what, are we going to send all our children there?" Putin said with sarcasm. "Maybe we should move there ourselves?"?

Video games a flash point in Connecticut school rampage's aftermath

Chris Ruffner of Mt. Washington browses the selection of video games on Thursday at Family Video in Whitehall. Violent games, such as the popular ?Call of Duty? series, are under scrutiny as a result of the Newtown, Conn., school massacre. Sidney Davis | Tribune-Review

By Adam Smeltz

Published: Friday, December 28, 2012, 12:51?a.m.
Updated 9 hours ago

The National Rifle Association and others call violent video games a spark for real-life brutality.

But those urging increased scrutiny of the industry because of reports that such video games enthralled the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter should look to previous efforts. Scholars warn that past attempts to regulate the industry fell flat, sometimes on free-speech grounds.

Research links violent gaming with aggressive tendencies, but no studies definitively peg them as a cause of fatal attacks, researchers said.

?I wouldn?t be surprised to see different legislatures or different politicians introducing measures, trying to see if we can have more studies of kids and violent games. It?s a high-profile thing,? said Mia Consalvo, a faculty member and Canada Research Chair in Game Studies and Design at Montreal-based Concordia University.

?Unfortunately, it?s one thread among many,? Consalvo said. ?It?s kind of looking for an easy solution when there probably isn?t one.?

Adam Lanza, 20, who killed his mother before fatally shooting 20 children, six adults and himself on Dec. 14 in Newtown, Conn., played graphic video games such as ?Call of Duty,? according to published reports.

Within days of the massacre, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., introduced legislation that would order the National Academy of Sciences to investigate how violent video games affect children and to report findings within 18 months.

?I have long expressed concern about the impact of the violent content our kids see and interact with every day,? Rockefeller said.

NRA leader Wayne LaPierre picked up the theme last week, flaying ?vicious, violent video games? as ?the filthiest form of pornography.? The NRA did not respond to a Tribune-Review interview request.

Ed Kowalski, 43, of New Kensington said his three stepkids? grades went ?through the roof? after they cut back on video games. He said the kids ? ages 13, 10 and 8 ? often have trouble focusing after playing for extended periods.

?These things take kids into oblivion,? Kowalski said. ?We believe those age restrictions are important for any kid.?

Industry observers said video game criticism is nothing new. A rating system begun in 1994 took shape as technology allowed manufacturers to sell more realistic games. Senate hearings pushed the industry to develop the ratings.

It?s up to retailers to verify a buyer?s age for purchases of games rated ?M? for mature or ?AO? for adults only, according to the Entertainment Software Rating Board. A representative for the rating board would not comment, and another key industry group, the Entertainment Software Association, did not respond to calls.

The rating board?s website says national retailers refuse to sell M-rated games to underage customers 87 percent of the time, according to a federal review.

The U.S. Supreme Court invoked First Amendment rights in June 2011 when it rejected a California law that would have banned sales to anyone younger than 18. Five years earlier, a federal judge ruled unconstitutional a Michigan law that barred retailers from selling such games to minors. In Utah, then-Gov. Jon Huntsman vetoed a 2009 bill that would have punished stores for selling M-rated games to minors.

State Sen. Leland Yee, a San Francisco Democrat who introduced the ill-fated California bill, said the video game industry since has ?done a better job of voluntarily limiting the sale of games to children.?

Ohio State University professor Brad Bushman has studied video games and not found a direct causal connection between violent games and extreme behavior.

So many factors fuel violent conduct that it?s impossible to identify video games as a singular cause. It?s especially complicated to study because ethical researchers cannot give guns and knives to video game fans just to see what happens, he said.

At the same time, Bushman said, research has found ties between violent gaming and generally aggressive behavior. He said the industry could put warning labels on violent games and make it harder for children to buy M-rated games on the Internet.

?I?d be more surprised if Adam Lanza did not play violent video games than if he did play violent video games. Almost everyone his age does,? though few become murderers, Bushman said.

The industry evolved its approach over the years, adding a feature that lets gaming system owners lock out adult games, Consalvo said.

?I think we can ask why, as a culture, we enjoy so much violent content, not just in games but in film and television ? and why that?s so appealing,? she said. ?But that?s a much larger conversation.?

Ukraine reminds Santas about tax

KIEV (Reuters) - Cash-strapped Ukraine on Wednesday reminded entertainers making money by posing as Did Moroz - the local version of Santa Claus - and his helpers to pay income tax.

The former Soviet republic's government faces $9 billion in foreign debt repayments next year and its budget deficit almost tripled in January-October this year to more than $4 billion.

By studying internet advertisements, the state tax service found out that a Did Moroz with a traditional female Snihuronka (Snow Maid) helper would earn 250 to 3,500 hryvnias ($30 to $440) per hour in capital Kiev this season.

"Such citizens will need to file forms and pay taxes," the tax service said in a statement.

The service said it was barred from conducting tax checks on small businesses but urged ordinary Ukrainians to report tax-dodging Santas.

Retail Push: Opportunity For Commercial Property Developers In ...

Property developers and retail majors in India had been eagerly waiting for the government to further open up the retail sector to foreign direct investment (FDI). Now that it?s finally done, it is expected to throw up an unprecedented opportunity for developers in tier-II and tier-III cities. Past experience of witnessing a windfall when the floodgates were thrown open for single brand, have made developers bet on the move to open up the multibrand sector for foreign players for a quick turnaround in their overall fortunes. The policy now permits FDI of up to 51 per cent in the sector, which is likely to boost the retail real estate market with the entry of international brands, practices and technologies. Back-end retail infrastructure, such as logistics and warehousing (both of which are critical growth catalysts for the retail sector), will receive a significant boost from this policy, as 50 per cent of the total FDI into the retail sector is directed at these segments. The timing of this approval is particularly important as it has come at a time when business sentiments had taken a beating, GDP growth is near a decade low and inflation remains high. It promises to help the economy as a whole to gain momentum, depth and size, while creating great employment opportunities. Navin M Raheja, chairman and managing director, Raheja Developers, told FC Build, ?From the real estate point of view, entry of foreign retail giants will open up multiple opportunities in the medium to long term, as the demand for quality real estate would rise. It will also provide a sort of bail out option to some cash-strapped retailers. With flow of fresh investment into the retail sector, it will trigger investment in real estate both at the front and back-end. In the front-end, retail store spaces will see investments and in the back-end, better quality warehouses could be seen.? At present, vacancy in malls across the board ranges between 15 per cent and 20 per cent. Opening of FDI in multibrand retail would cartainly improve the uptake of present vacant retail spaces and vacancies should improve by at least five to seven per cent in the next two to three years. There should be an increase in demand for commercial real estate and increased investor confidence, as at present there is a mismatch in lease rates and capital values. All this would motivate developers to build quality shopping centres with a clear vision to long-term profit, said Raheja. Prodipta Sen, executive director, Alpha G Corp, said property developers would now get enormous opportunities to grow in tier-II and tier-III cities. ?The move would pave the way for easy access to capital for domestic retailers, increased transfer of technology, enhanced supply chain efficiencies, increased employment opportunities and curtailment of inflation as perceived benefits. And these together would help developers reap benefits of the government move.? While some analysts are extremely upbeat about the development, some others prefer being cautiously optimistic. Gautam Mehra, executive director, Pricewater?houseCoopers (PwC), for instance, said, ?Though FDI in multibrand retail has been cleared, it will not usher in a development wave. Certain restrictions in the retail format will curtail requirements in this particular segment. There will be no huge requirement right away. It will be over the long term and not within three to four months. Overall, these actions show that the government is willing to bring in reforms, which were at discussions stage. It will cheer investor sentiment.? Pranab Datta, chairman, Knight Frank India, also bets high on FDI in multibrand retail. ?Parliament?s recent approval will attract foreign investment, which will not only benefit the retail industry, but also boost demand for commercial real estate. It also showcases the government?s seriousness on introducing reforms in India and this is just a preview of things to come. Additionally, RBI can be expected to lower interest rates in the coming months that will benefit developers as well as consumers. The change in sentiment on account of the above measures will have a positive impact on all real estate segments, be it retail, office or residential, and will certainly make 2013 a much better year in comparison with last year,? he said. Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) India is expecting new organised retail project completions to increase significantly (by 109 per cent year-on-year) in 2013. Chennai, Hyder?abad, Kolkata and Pune will be among the major contributors to this increase, with a 53 per cent share of the country?s overall mall supply for 2013. The primary reason is that a sizable amount of supply that was expected to reach completion in 2012 has been pushed to 2013. Altogether, India?s major cities like Mumbai, NCR-Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata will see the addition of close to 9.5 million sq ft of mall space in 2013. Mumbai, NCR-Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai will together contribute 70 per cent of the total retail space absorption. Other cities like Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata will account for the remaining 30 per cent. ?The government?s nod to FDI in multi brand retail will be a major driving factor for an increased activity in 2013. Since the policy opens the portals to major MNC retail brands in India, the organised retail sector will see a major transformation in terms of its overall contribution in the mid-term. This, in turn, will positively impact the absorption of retail space over the next 12 to 24 months. The absorption is forecast to touch 6.8 million sq ft and 7.1 million sq ft in 2013 and 2014, respectively,? said Anuj Puri, chairman and country head, JLL India. However, a number of analysts felt that the benefits of the much-awaited FDI decision would not become fully evident in 2013, as it would take mall developers at least two years to incorporate the design elements and dimensions required to meet global standards. There are others like Subhasis Roy, national director, retail agency ? Knight Frank India, who think that FDI in multibrand retail will have a two-fold impact on the Indian real estate sector. ?First, it will increase demand for anchor space in one-million-plus cities where the state governments agree to permit foreign retailers, and secondly, there is a possibility that rental expectation would be raised, as not much of quality space would be available, suitable for big-box retail. For multibrand retail, anchor space in upcoming, under construction and project launch stage malls, Indian and existing foreign companies are either in negotiation stage or signed up space at these new upcoming projects, which will put the new entrants in a tight spot, as they will have to look for only new upcoming projects going to be operational only after three to four years from now,? he said. There are actually more reasons than one to be optimistic about the recent development. In India, the per capita mall space among top seven metro cities is at present estimated at less than a sq ft, with the US and Europe average being 20-40 times of India. Steady GDP growth and young population having more disposable income, can attract investment for mall development in India. Compared with developed markets, the square footage in India is still very low and there is steady increase in rentals due to shortage of available quality retail space, this could trigger new projects. Besides, the impact of big foreign retail players on domestic unorganised players is also expected to be positive. In fact, it is likely that these unorganised players would move to a higher equilibrium level of efficiency in a medium to long-term horizon and that, in turn, would fuel further growth. No wonder, real estate companies, which put their expansion plans, especially in commercial space, on hold, are now going back to their drawing board. Any growth in retail sector, they say, has a direct and meaningful impact on commercial real estate, and an indirect impact on residential properties.? ritwikmukherjee@mydigitalfc.com
