Clearly, the strategy here is two-fold: the first part of the plan is to cut back on fuel demand and greenhouse gases by getting rid of old clunkers and trading them for modern, fuel-efficient cars; the second part is to stimulate the economy by getting people to open up their wallets and spend some cash. Uncle Sam says he has a pool of around $1 billion to devote to the Cash for Clunkers Program. The program is slated to go until November 30th of this year, but will stop early if funds are depleted. So go and trade your clunker in while there’s still some loot left!

The much anticipated Cash for Clunkers Program is officially in full swing. The U.S. Government is finally giving a chunk of the bailout back to the everyday person, offering between $3500 and $4000 for old vehicle trade-ins with the purchase of a new vehicle. Not too shabby if you’re in the market for a new car or have an old one laying around.

Ron Gonen of Recycle Bank is named 2009 United Nations Environment Program Champion of the earth. The founder and CEO of Recycle Bank Gonen is one of 7 environmental leaders in the world honored today in Paris.

Champions of the Earth is an international environmental award established in 2004 by the UNEP to acknowledge the best and brightest who have made a significant contribution globally, regionally and beyond, to the protection and sustainable management of the Earth’s environment and natural resources. This year’s award recognizes prominent and inspirational examples of environmental leadership in the areas of Policy Leadership, Science and Innovation, Entrepreneurial Vision, Inspiration and Action, and Next-Generation Champions. Past award winners hail from a diverse background, from presidents and economists, to scientists and philosophers, to religious and civic leaders. Candidates are judged by a senior UNEP panel with input from UNEP’s regional offices.

No monetary reward is attached to the prize. Recycle Bank’s Gonen and each laureate receives a trophy specially designed for the occasion with environmentally-friendly materials.

TV and Internet ads promising fast cash for almost no work have been around forever. They also seem to be on the rise as the economy is on the decline. Are they scams or legitimate? Sean Cole reports.

BOB MOON: So, it’s way past midnight. You can’t sleep. I always raid the fridge first then pad out to the living room to see what’s on TV. But on so many channels at that hour, all of the regular programming has been replaced…by this:

CLIP OF INFOMERCIAL: So if you’re excited to learn how to make as much money as you want with ten free website businesses of your very own, then don’t touch that remote control.

Seattle, Feb. 12, 2008 — Have a remodeling project in mind? If you attend the Seattle Home Show this Saturday, you might find out you have some cash coming to help pay for it.

The Washington State Department of Revenue will staff a booth at the home show at the Qwest Field Event Center from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 16, in conjunction with a promotion by radio station B97.3. The booth is located on the main floor near the show’s information center.

The odds of finding something to claim are better than ever, Unclaimed Property Manager Patti Wilson said. That’s because the unclaimed property database contains more than three million names that have been collected since the 1950s, and about $600 million in unclaimed property.

I got to experience the liberal ways of Amsterdam back in 2004, when I visited for an extended weekend. It’s a fun city, but I probably would’ve lost my mind if I stayed there any longer!

Anyway, I wanted to let you all know about the Amsterdam Beer Bike. This is something I never saw while I was visiting, and hadn’t even heard about until recently. The beer bike is basically a mobile bar. Equipped with loads of booze and thirsty tourists, it roams around the streets of Amsterdam. The drinkers not only need to pay for a ride, they have to work for it. Everyone on the bike will be pedaling to propel it through the streets. Though, I suppose you could always take a break and the thing would still move, just a bit slower.

The popular fast food chain, Sonic, is offering free root beer floats as part of a recent promotion. Sonic is the latest chain to hop on the trend of giving away freebies to get some press and spur some more business. It seems like there’s a new freebie hitting the press every day, so you won’t hear any complaints from me about it.

The promotion is only going on today from 8 PM until midnight, so if you want a free 10oz root beer float, you better get moving! Sonic estimates that they’ll be giving away about 3.5 million floats. Unfortunately for me, the nearest Sonic is at least a half hour away, so I won’t be enjoying any tasty root beer floats!

This Friday is National Bike to Work Day! That exclamation point is actually my attempt at sarcasm, because bikers on the streets annoy the sh*t out of me. They’re always in my way and slowing down traffic. They never stop for lights and think they own the road. Maybe I’m just bitter because I don’t bike?

Anyway, Bike to Work Day, celebrated nationally since 1956, has gained a lot more attention in recent years because it’s an environmentally-conscious event, and raises awareness for causes like global warming. It’s quite simple really, if you bike to work, you’re not driving and polluting the ozone layer, thus cutting back on global warming. Ah, what the heck, maybe I’ll bust out my old Mongoose Menace and ride to work tomorrow!

It’s estimated that biking to work will save you $5 a day on average – taking gas, wear & tear and tolls into consideration. 5 bucks a day isn’t too shabby these days.

The ‘holiday’ celebrates the donut – worshiping it, cherishing it, and eventually consuming it. Due to the conception that donuts are unhealthy, many people in recent years have modified the holiday to become ‘National Donut and Bagel Day. Like bagels are that much better.

National Donut Day started back in 1938 as a fundraiser for the Chicago Salvation Army. They wanted to raise money for the Great Depression and also to honor the ‘lassies’ who served donuts to solders in France behind the front lines in World War I.

There are many places you can get donuts to celebrate National Donut Day – the first place that comes to mind is Dunkin’ Donuts. But don’t forget about Krispy Kreme or your good ol’ local gas station. If you’re feeling brave, you can even bake your own donuts and feast in the comfort of your home!

Hopping onto the latest trend of giving away free products to spur some business, Kraft has decided to promote Oscar Meyer by offering coupons for some Oscar Meyer beef franks. Yum.

You can visit Kraft’s promotion page here. Supposedly, all you have to do is enter your information and they say they’ll send you a coupon within 4-6 weeks. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see if anybody actually receives these. Either way, it’s a great promotion for Kraft to capture some contact info. I’m sure they’ll add hundreds of thousands, if not millions of new names to their database. Considering the viral nature of these promotions on the ‘net and the fact that the down economy has people scrambling for freebies, I’d say the collection of a few million names for this promotion is not far off. Not a bad little promo, Kraft. Now give me my hot dogs!

At tonight’s Academy Awards, screenwriter Dustin Lance Black won the Oscar for Best Screenplay for “Milk,” the story of California’s first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk. Black — who was wearing a White Knot for marriage equality — spoke about how Milk inspired him:

BLACK: When I was 13 years old, my beautiful mother and my father moved me from a conservative Mormon home in San Antonio, Texas, to California, and I heard the story of Harvey Milk. And it gave me hope. It gave me the hope to live my life; it gave me the hope that one day I could live my life openly as who I am and that maybe even I could fall in love and one day get married. […]

Most of all, if Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he’d want me to say to all of the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told they are less than by their churches, or by the government, or by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value. And that no matter what everyone tells you, God does love you, and that very soon, I promise you, you will have equal rights federally across this great nation of ours.

KFC — Kentucky Fried Chicken to stubborn folks like myself — is launching a new grilled chicken entree.

Visit a participating KFC restaurant today and you can try one piece of the new Kentucky Grilled Chicken for free.

The grilled chicken, a recent addition to fast-food chain’s menu, is an attempt to give customers an option that’s healthier than the restaurant’s signature fried chicken. A grilled chicken thigh has 140 calories, according to a menu on KFC’s Web site.

The popular fast food chain, Sonic, is offering free root beer floats as part of a recent promotion. Sonic is the latest chain to hop on the trend of giving away freebies to get some press and spur some more business. It seems like there’s a new freebie hitting the press every day, so you won’t hear any complaints from me about it.

The promotion is only going on today from 8 PM until midnight, so if you want a free 10oz root beer float, you better get moving! Sonic estimates that they’ll be giving away about 3.5 million floats. Unfortunately for me, the nearest Sonic is at least a half hour away, so I won’t be enjoying any tasty root beer floats!

Who wouldn’t like a free hot dog up in their grill? Hopping onto the latest trend of giving away free products to spur some business, Kraft has decided to promote Oscar Meyer by offering coupons for some Oscar Meyer beef franks. Yum.

You can visit Kraft’s promotion page here. Supposedly, all you have to do is enter your information and they say they’ll send you a coupon within 4-6 weeks. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see if anybody actually receives these. Either way, it’s a great promotion for Kraft to capture some contact info. I’m sure they’ll add hundreds of thousands, if not millions of new names to their database. Considering the viral nature of these promotions on the ‘net and the fact that the down economy has people scrambling for freebies, I’d say the collection of a few million names for this promotion is not far off. Not a bad little promo, Kraft. Now give me my hot dogs!

I find myself gravitating towards topics of an historical nature, mostly because I truly enjoy learning and writing about history. So, I’ve put together a brief portrait of America’s First President, George Washington! I hope you learn something from this brief history of a truly amazing man.

George Washington became the first president of the United States of America on April 30, 1789,helping the country take a giant leap into the democracy it is today. He is known best in modern times as the only president who never occupied the white house, but there is so much more to President Washington than many people realize!

Born on February 22, 1732 to a tobacco farmer and his second wife, President Washington spent his childhood from the age of six being home schooled by his father and his brother. They taught George the love for surveying and farming. At age 20, President Washington was appointed as a district adjutant general in the Virginia militia in 1752.

Law-enforcement’s rapid response and search for a despondent George Anthony early this morning saved his life, his lawyer just told the Orlando Sentinel.

George Anthony, who reportedly sent several text messages to relatives suggesting that he wanted to end his life, was found alive in a Daytona Beach motel with what appeared to be a suicide note after his family reported him missing late Thursday.

“Had it not been for (law-enforcement), this might have been a different outcome,” George Anthony’s lawyer Brad Conway said. “They deserve a huge thank you.”

Jon Winkelried, co-chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs, is retiring next month for personal reasons, a spokesman for the firm said Tuesday.

Winkelried, 49, has worked at Goldman for 26 years and is looking to spend more time with his family and on his horse ranch, spokesman Lucas van Praag said.

He will not receive any sort of severance payment. He had planned to leave last summer, but as the markets eroded, he elected to stay with the firm, van Praag said.

National Donut Day takes place on the first Friday of June every year, which would make the celebration on schedule for tomorrow. The ‘holiday’ celebrates the donut – worshiping it, cherishing it, and eventually consuming it. Due to the conception that donuts are unhealthy, many people in recent years have modified the holiday to become ‘National Donut and Bagel Day. Like bagels are that much better.

National Donut Day started back in 1938 as a fundraiser for the Chicago Salvation Army. They wanted to raise money for the Great Depression and also to honor the ‘lassies’ who served donuts to solders in France behind the front lines in World War I.

There are many places you can get donuts to celebrate National Donut Day – the first place that comes to mind is Dunkin’ Donuts. But don’t forget about Krispy Kreme or your good ol’ local gas station. If you’re feeling brave, you can even bake your own donuts and feast in the comfort of your home!

For those of you who don’t know your history, the Biltmore is the largest privately-owned home in the U.S. It was originally built and owned by railroad tycoon George Washington Vanderbilt in the late 1800’s.

Located in Asheville, North Carolina, the 175,000 square foot home is truly a wonder. It’s surrounded by opulent gardens and sculptures on over 8,000 acres of prime real estate. The property also includes a winery, a hotel and several restaurants and shops. Because of it’s distinction as the largest private home in the United States and its opulent characteristics, it has become a popular tourist destination for travelers from all over the world.

I’ve found the Biltmore’s website to be particularly helpful in giving me little tidbits of information that I didn’t know about the estate. It also features some truly magnificent pictures of the estate. If you’d like to learn more about the Biltmore or even book a trip there, check out their website!

HelloRoss.com, yet another blog about “fun” was recently featured on The Tonight Show. I didn’t catch the show, but from the looks of it, the blog is really nothing special. If you visit helloross.com, you are redirected to a blogger blog, at helloross.blogspot.com – which just screams to me that it’s unprofessional. Sorry, blogger (and Google), but if you want a serious website, you should start with your own domain name.

Ross’s little intro on the blog states the following about him and his website:

“This is a place for you & me to connect, share & laugh. My goal in life is to try to have fun with whatever I’m doing – from the mundane to the extraordinary.”

What is swine flu?
Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person-to-person, but in the past, this transmission was limited and not sustained beyond three people.

Are there human infections with swine flu in the U.S.?
In late March and early April 2009, cases of human infection with swine influenza A (H1N1) viruses were first reported in Southern California and near Guadalupe County, Texas. Other U.S. states have reported cases of swine flu infection in humans and cases have been reported internationally as well. An updated case count of confirmed swine flu infections in the United States is kept at http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/investigation.htm CDC and local and state health agencies are working together to investigate this situation.

Is this swine flu virus contagious?
CDC has determined that this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is contagious and is spreading from human to human. However, at this time, it is not known how easily the virus spreads between people.

SWINE FLU COMES TO AMERICA

WASHINGTON, DC – The Swine Flu epidemic has reached the United States.  This new mutated strand of influenza starts as a normal flu, then turns people into pigs.

The world is in the grip of fear over an outbreak of a new Swine Flu.  A previous strain affected pigs by making them grow enormous and vicious.  This flu has since mutated, mixing with human and avian viruses, to create a new and more dangerous Swine Flu.  This flu begins with typical  symptoms, such as sneezing fever and lethargy, but soon makes humans grow larger and more angry.  Then, by the first full moon, sufferers turn into mutated pigs!

Swine flu symptoms: Checklist to see if you may be infected

SWINE FLU SYMPTOMS

The symptoms are similar to those experienced by people infected by other flu strains. In the past, pneumonia and respiratory failure and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause chronic medical conditions to worsen.

How can you tell if you might have swine flu and should see a doctor? Here’s a checklist of symptoms linked to the disease, which is suspected of killing more than 150 people in Mexico and sickening hundreds more around the globe:

Similar to a scare originally found in Cambodia back in 2005, victims of a new strain of the swine flu virus H1N1 have been reported in London.

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it’s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the alert to phase six, its highest level, and advised governments to activate pandemic contingency plans.

Swine flu symptoms: Checklist to see if you may be infected

SWINE FLU SYMPTOMS

The symptoms are similar to those experienced by people infected by other flu strains. In the past, pneumonia and respiratory failure and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause chronic medical conditions to worsen.

How can you tell if you might have swine flu and should see a doctor? Here’s a checklist of symptoms linked to the disease, which is suspected of killing more than 150 people in Mexico and sickening hundreds more around the globe:

CDC H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) and you

What is swine flu?
Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person-to-person, but in the past, this transmission was limited and not sustained beyond three people.

Are there human infections with swine flu in the U.S.?
In late March and early April 2009, cases of human infection with swine influenza A (H1N1) viruses were first reported in Southern California and near Guadalupe County, Texas. Other U.S. states have reported cases of swine flu infection in humans and cases have been reported internationally as well. An updated case count of confirmed swine flu infections in the United States is kept at http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/investigation.htm CDC and local and state health agencies are working together to investigate this situation.

Is this swine flu virus contagious?
CDC has determined that this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is contagious and is spreading from human to human. However, at this time, it is not known how easily the virus spreads between people.

Similar to a scare originally found in Cambodia back in 2005, victims of a new strain of the swine flu virus H1N1 have been reported in London.

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it’s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the alert to phase six, its highest level, and advised governments to activate pandemic contingency plans.

Possibly one of the most devastating genetic disorders, Tay-Sachs disease is fatal, and children who are diagnosed with the disease rarely live beyond four years. Children with Tay-Sachs disease appear normal at birth, but when they are around 3 to 6 months old, they develop symptoms ranging from deafness and blindness to seizures and dementia, which eventually results in death. The Mayo Clinic elaborates on certain other symptoms of the disease that include decreased eye contact in infants, lack of crawling or smiling, and exhibiting slow body growth. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, those suffering from this disorder also have a characteristic “cherry-red spot” in their eyes. In fact, it was this cherry-red spot that first led to the characterization of the disease by British ophthalmologist Warren Tay in 1881.

Considering the debilitating effects of the disorder, it is hard not to wonder what causes the disease. The Genetics Home Reference website describes Tay-Sachs as a disease caused by the build-up of a fatty substance called GM2 ganglioside in the brain. The buildup of the ganglioside is caused by disrupted activity of the enzyme beta-hexosaminidase A, which is present in the lysosomes of cells and is normally responsible for degrading GM2 ganglioside. If beta-hexosaminidase A malfunctions, GM2 ganglioside builds up inside the cells to toxic levels. This buildup is particularly prominent in neurons in the brain and spinal cord, and hence the disease affects the nervous system. The hereditary component of the disease is due to the fact that individuals with the disease have a mutation in the HEX A gene, which is responsible for creating the beta-hexosaminidase A enzyme. A mutation in the HEX A gene causes defects in the formation of the enzyme, which prevents the enzyme from being able to degrade GM2 ganglioside.

In spite of the diseases being fatal, according to the National Genome Research Institute, one in 250 people possesses the mutated version of HEX A. With such a high rate of occurrence, it would seem that the disease is fairly common and should affect a large number of people. To understand why this is not the case, we need to go back to the basics of genetics, which state that genes always come in pairs; hence, there is a pair of HEX A genes in the body. If only one of these genes is mutated, the person is perfectly normal and shows no symptoms of the disease. People with just one copy of the gene are called carriers of the disease. The disease manifests itself only when a person contains two mutated copies of the gene. Children receive one of gene of the pair from one parent and the other from the other parent. Thus a child of one carrier parent and one parent without the mutated gene will be perfectly normal; children of two carriers, however have a 25 percent chance of contracting the disease. As stated on www.tay-sachs.org, the disease is fairly common in those of Eastern European Jewish descent, with one in 27 of them being carriers. Currently, there is no cure for the disease, and the disease is fatal for anyone with two defective copies of the HEX A gene. Tests for detecting whether one is a carrier of the gene do exist. The tests are simple blood tests and can easily help couples decide whether they want to have children if both parents turn out to be carriers.

Baseball. Finally. You know it is almost time for THE season to start when the baseball games start coming out. MLB 2K9 makes a return this year and has one goal in mind: Closing the gap between itself and MLB: The Show. Xbox 360 fans have no choice, which blows, but PS3 gamers do and they chose The Show in overwhelming numbers. Last years iteration, MLB 2K8 was not bad, but it was not great. They completely revamped the pitching mechanic and it was a disaster. It was easier to throw a curve ball in reality than do it on the virtual diamond. Did MLB 2K9 make huge strides this year? It did and we are very excited.

The demo that was released this week lets you play a 3 inning game between last years World Series teams, the Rays and the Phillies. You will notice right away how good the player models look. As an avid baseball fan, one who watches upwards of 150 games a year, thank you DVR, you know what the players look like. You know their stances, their nuances, and in Carl Crawford’s case, his neck tattoo. All are present in 2K9. The hitting is a breeze. As long as your timing is right, you can make contact. Hitting has been too hard over the years and I am glad that they made it easier because baseball games are truly won and lost on the mound.

The pitching, as it seems, has been dumbed down and that was needed. You still need to direct the RS in the direction that the pitch calls for, often a first direction, followed by the second. It seems hard at first, but it catches on quick. There will be a pitching tutorial in the full release (I said full release) version, so you can master it with some practice. The mechanic itself has not so much changed, but it is MUCH more forgiving. You don’t need the exact 270 degree circle to get your slider to move. You also don’t need the release point which was the death knell of last year. The throwing to bases is tough, but fair. You need to have a checks and balances system and they do. The field has a nice overhead view from behind home plate, so you can easily see your outfielders. You can throw fastballs without them landing in the upper deck, which has also been a disaster before. When Matt and I played last year online, we made a pact to throw one fastball for each AB to make the game sort of realistic. You can only take so many eephus pitches before you lose your mind.

SWINE FLU COMES TO AMERICA

WASHINGTON, DC – The Swine Flu epidemic has reached the United States.  This new mutated strand of influenza starts as a normal flu, then turns people into pigs.

The world is in the grip of fear over an outbreak of a new Swine Flu.  A previous strain affected pigs by making them grow enormous and vicious.  This flu has since mutated, mixing with human and avian viruses, to create a new and more dangerous Swine Flu.  This flu begins with typical  symptoms, such as sneezing fever and lethargy, but soon makes humans grow larger and more angry.  Then, by the first full moon, sufferers turn into mutated pigs!

CDC H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) and you

What is swine flu?
Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person-to-person, but in the past, this transmission was limited and not sustained beyond three people.

Are there human infections with swine flu in the U.S.?
In late March and early April 2009, cases of human infection with swine influenza A (H1N1) viruses were first reported in Southern California and near Guadalupe County, Texas. Other U.S. states have reported cases of swine flu infection in humans and cases have been reported internationally as well. An updated case count of confirmed swine flu infections in the United States is kept at http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/investigation.htm CDC and local and state health agencies are working together to investigate this situation.

Is this swine flu virus contagious?
CDC has determined that this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is contagious and is spreading from human to human. However, at this time, it is not known how easily the virus spreads between people.

Similar to a scare originally found in Cambodia back in 2005, victims of a new strain of the swine flu virus H1N1 have been reported in London.

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it’s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the alert to phase six, its highest level, and advised governments to activate pandemic contingency plans.

The 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day, but it should be! And Cinco de Mayo is not an American holiday, but it should be. Mexico declared its independence from mother Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810. And it took 11 years before the first Spanish soldiers were told and forced to leave Mexico.

So, why Cinco de Mayo? And why should Americans savor this day as well? Because 4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862.

The French had landed in Mexico (along with Spanish and English troops) five months earlier on the pretext of collecting Mexican debts from the newly elected government of democratic President (and Indian) Benito Juarez. The English and Spanish quickly made deals and left. The French, however, had different ideas.

Lost Season 5 Episode 14 was not the featured attraction on Lost last night, thanks to ABC. Since the network needs Lost to end deeper in sweep, Lost Season 5 Episode 14 got pushed back to next week. This also gave ABC even more time to advertise the episode as Lost’s 100th overall. So for the second time this year, Lost had to take a one week break, giving the season’s 14th episode one more week to drive up anticipation.

The last time Lost took a one week break was after episode 8, just after almost all of the survivors ended up in 1977 at the DHARMA Initiative. Since then, the survivors have almost destroyed time and then repaired it, with the shooting and faithful saving of young Ben Linus. But the cost was that the long held cover story of Sawyer/LaFleur and those left behind is all but shattered.

Call of Duty: World at War’s Map Pack 1 was downloaded a million times in its first weekend so a second map pack is a foregone conclusion. Treyarch officially announced it today and revealed what sort of locales the new maps will feature.

Like Map Pack 1, Map Pack 2 will have three normal multiplayer maps and one zombie co-op map. The announcement gives a brief description of each: “Battle to control the river bridge in ‘Banzai’ – a bright jungle map featuring a waterfall and hidden caves. In ‘Corrosion’ face down your enemy in a shattered train yard, and in “Sub Pens” wipe the monsoon rain from your eyes as you struggle over a bombed-out submarine base. The Zombies make a return in ‘Shi No Numa’ (Zombie Swamp) featuring Perk machines, the deadly new Wunderwaffe DG-2, new Achievements / Trophies… and flaming Hell Hounds!”

Map Pack 2 will be released for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in June. There was a two week delay between the console and PC release of the first map pack so we could be looking at a similar situation here, too. The first map pack is free for PC owners but costs 800 Microsoft Points ($10) for the PS3/360.

Prince George, B.C.- Families of the 18 missing or murdered women who are part of the E-Pana investigation received an update from those investigators yesterday.
The all day session was the fifth since the task force was formed to examine the cases which were under the umbrella of what has become known as the “Highway of Tears” cases. The investigations was expanded to include several other cases that are not linked with Highway 16 but had similarities.

There were nearly 20 family members in attendance for the day long session.

RCMP Constable Annie Linteau says the session was held at the E-Panna investigators offices in Surrey so family members could see the volume of material that has been generated in the investigations. “Even I was surprised at the amount of information that has been gathered over the years, so the family members can now see why it is taking time to go through all of this information.”

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see if anybody actually receives these. Either way, it’s a great promotion for Kraft to capture some contact info. I’m sure they’ll add hundreds of thousands, if not millions of new names to their database. Considering the viral nature of these promotions on the ‘net and the fact that the down economy has people scrambling for freebies, I’d say the collection of a few million names for this promotion is not far off. Not a bad little promo, Kraft. Now give me my hot dogs!

The popular fast food chain, Sonic, is offering free root beer floats as part of a recent promotion. Sonic is the latest chain to hop on the trend of giving away freebies to get some press and spur some more business. It seems like there’s a new freebie hitting the press every day, so you won’t hear any complaints from me about it.

The promotion is only going on today from 8 PM until midnight, so if you want a free 10oz root beer float, you better get moving! Sonic estimates that they’ll be giving away about 3.5 million floats. Unfortunately for me, the nearest Sonic is at least a half hour away, so I won’t be enjoying any tasty root beer floats!
