I haven't used a keyboard for any games yet but I know it does work if you are surfing the web on your PS3. I will check my e-mail from time to time on my PS3 when I don't feel like using my laptop or desktop.

I have used mango languages which is fairly new. I have used it to learn some Spanish and French. The free version is alright if you are just looking to learn some basic things. The paid subscription gives you more advanced learning material. Mango Languages

I got my tickets today along with a DVD they put into the package. I believe this is the slimmed down version of the DVD that they gave away. It has the final game of the year on it and highlights I'm guessing.

I wonder if the ump is ever going to give the ball to the catcher.

If the Astros were in the AL this contract wouldn't be as bad. I would take Lee as a DH he is just awful in the OF and he will only get worse as he gets older.

Juan Cruz is going to be a valuable trade piece for the Royals and we all know how closers and closer types are over paid in MLB. I could see a Linebrink kind of a trade for the Royals either this year or next year. You can bet that Cruz will be in a lot of rumors of being traded during the deadline for the next two years. I don't see how this is a bad move by the Royals. If Cruz was a type B free agent he would have gotten about what Hoffman got money wise and a longer contract. The Royals got Cruz on a deep discount and it didn't really cost that all that much. Losing their second round pick for one year is not going to kill the team. If the Royals do trade Cruz I bet they will get more talent in return than if they didn't sign him and kept their second round pick. I believe this is a win win situation for the Royals.

You have to belong to the operations sports forum to see the pictures that is why they won't show up here. It looks like they did update Miller Park hopefully they updated the right field dimensions I believe they were wrong in the last game. Here are the pictures b2k had in his post. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/natewwii/MLB09TheShow_18.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/natewwii/MLB09TheShow_20.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/natewwii/MLB09TheShow_22.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/natewwii/MLB09TheShow_23.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/natewwii/MLB09TheShow_25.jpg

I don't see a problem with that at all. The cost savings that it would create would make this idea become a reality rather quickly. With schools looking to cut costs I could see this becoming a reality. I doubt it would become feasible but I bet you will see some of the bigger schools try this and the online schools are already doing this. ITT Tech and the other schools like them already have this as an option I believe. I'm not really for this or against this. With the ever rising costs of school tuition and the actual cost of running a university I wouldn't be surprised at all if this happened in the near future. There still would be buildings and classes held in those buildings but I could see online and podcast lectures becoming more popular as the technology advances. Change is going to happen like it or not. I doubt many teachers really liked computers when they were first introduced into the class room. But yet here we are now with computers in nearly every single kind of classroom.

I agree with math, science, and politics not getting any more complicated than they were in the 1940s and 1950s. But it does depend on the science and math though. Most math is done using computers today and there are still a large percentage of people who don't really know how to use the programs associated with the math and science programs not to mention the computer itself. The different kinds of science like computer science and even advanced stats classes can use PowerPoint which can actually help the teacher more so than the student. For a matter of fact all of my stats classes in college used PowerPoint exclusively. In business classes PowerPoint is a must. There is so many things you have to go over in business classes PowerPoint doesn't even help lower the amount of reading you need to do in the classes. It does help in making the classes more efficient and I'm willing to bet political classes that use PowerPoint are more efficient in how they are ran. When I was in college I only had about 6 classes where PowerPoint wasn't used at all. My 4 literature classes and my 2 classes in Spanish. The two history classes I took even had PowerPoint presentations. PowerPoint does help the student a lot but the benefit is more so in the teachers favor. The PowerPoint slides that I used and received from my teachers I used as big note cards since it was nearly impossible for me take all the notes I needed to study. I would say the majority of the people in my business classes used them in the same way.

My wife was just saying the same thing this week. They dont know that they are "supposed" to. It is probably because high school has gotten too easy and is a fricking joke.Note taking isn't something that is always taught in high school. Some people in college have no idea how to even take notes effectively in class. The hardest part for me in classes was the note taking at times since I write so slow. Also most students try and take notes word for word instead of using short cuts in their notes. I know most colleges offer first year classes for students to take but most students don't take advantage of these classes. I am sold on that the majority of the students in college do not know how to take notes effectively and thus they do not take any notes or the notes they take don't really help them in learning the material.

This is a little bit old but it is rather funny. The World's Worst Scammer. I was laughing so hard when I read this and if it were not for idiots how would we ever entertain ourselves?

He doesn't have the strength to be a great center in the NBA. In the Uconn and Pitt game a couple weeks ago I believe it was Thabeet got dominated down low by a more physical center. He was getting moved back and was just being pushed around by a smaller center height wise. He needs to bulk up if he wants to become a good center in the NBA.

You are not buying at the Circuit City prices you are buying at the liquidators price. The liquidators actually mark up the prices and they are generally higher than what they would normally be if you bought the item before the liquidation sale started.

When I went to college which wasn't to long ago I just graduated a year ago. The professors I had would put their lecture notes on PowerPoint and online. They just wouldn't have the whole thing online parts would be missing usually the most important parts of the lecture were the things that were missing from the PowerPoint presentation. I actually liked this because it allowed me to look over the notes of the lecture so I could form questions about the lecture and they were usually answered by listening to the lecture. As for the study guide a lot of the professors I had had a study guide. It was usually just something that outlined what is the most important things to study which was already in our notes. I never really used the study guide unless I was looking through my notes and I needed to find something to refresh on. Me and my friends used it more like a table of contents than anything else. As for the extra credit I never ever asked for extra credit but I always took advantage of it when it was offered. Who wouldn't take advantage of something that could help you out a little bit? Most of the extra credit that I had were on tests were extra hard questions you could try and answer. The only other time I got extra credit was to have a research paper in earlier because the professor I had was going on vacation after the semester and wanted to have the papers in as early as possible and gave extra credit if you could get it in earlier. Nearly everyone turned it in earlier. OK rants over. I do believe that people believe they are entitled to things that they just are not entitled to though. I saw it a lot during my time in college. People asking if they could miss class because of a spring break trip they had planned some professors saying no to it and then them whining and complaining about it and how their life is now just ruined. I never got that at all. It is easy to see what dates spring break falls on and in advance. I just don't get this entitlement to things that you have no entitlement to.

How about a squirrel slingshot?

I'm hoping they show some minor league games. At least show some games of the maybe future stars of the league. I would have liked to see Price pitch last year before he was up with the Rays. The MLB network isn't great but it is better than ESPN with its baseball coverage.

The problem with not trading RJ is that the Bucks won't be able to bring back Sessions or CV. Trading RJ will at least allow the Bucks to sign one of Sessions or CV at the minimum the Bucks could possibly sign both CV and Sessions.

This is a great pick up and gives the Brewers a lot of depth in the bullpen. Now Melvin only needs to add another starter like a Mulder or someone like that for some starting pitching depth and the Brewers should be set.

Actually stress can cause weight gain and if looking at the scale makes you stressed out why would you look at it?

wikipedia list of post-apocalyptic movies Most of the movies that I know of that deal with post-apocalyptic are R rated movies. You could always go with Waterworld (not my favorite) Mad Max, The Ultimate Warrior, and the Postman are some of my favorites. But all are R rated movies. Waterworld is the only one that I know of is PG-13 and I believe is 2.5 hours at the longest.

The Heat trade Marion and Marcus Banks to the Raptors for O'Neal and Jamario Moon. Rather even trade here. Talent wise the Raptors got the most upside with Marion but he hasn't been the same since leaving the Suns. I'll give the Raptors the edge because they get Marion's expiring contract. This is what I hate about the NBA trades are more about getting rid of contracts than it is about acquiring players. The Heat should have gotten more for the talent that they gave up. These trades just don't make sense especially the Gasol trade last year Memphis got garbage in return for salary cap relief. I just don't get the NBA anymore. Forgot to add the link to the trade. ESPN reports Heat and Raptors trade......

Why not get bluetooth headset instead? If you have a newer laptop within the last 3-6 months the laptop might have bluetooth support. If not you could get this and all you would have is a USB stick in your laptop. Plantronics Voyager 510-usb. Would be less bulky than a headset but you would still have to have something attached to the USB port.

I revised the trade and made it more friendly to the Clippers a little bit at least the Clippers would still need a draft pick coming their way though. Either two second round picks or one first round pick. The Bucks might have to send a 1st round pick to the Suns though or they would have to exchange 1st round picks to fix the imbalance but I believe the expiring contracts that the Suns will be receiving more than makes up for the lack of talent. Bucks send: Gadzuric to the Clippers; Jones, Villanueva, and Elson to the Suns Clippers send: Camby to the Suns Suns send: Stoudemire to the Bucks; Dudley and Tucker to the Clippers.

Iribarren can also play the OF along with some IF positions plus theres Nixon and Duffy available.

That would be selling to low on Hart. I don't believe Melvin would trade Hart for anyone like Gallarraga.
