Sharks Seen Swimming Down Australian Streets 210
As if the flood waters weren't bad enough for the people of Queensland, it now appears that there are sharks swimming in the streets. Two bull sharks were spotted swimming past a McDonald’s in the city of Goodna, Butcher Steve Bateman saw another making its way past his shop on Williams street. Ipswich councillor for the Goodna region Paul Tully said: "It would have swam several kilometres in from the river, across Evan Marginson Park and the motorway. It’s definitely a first for Goodna, to have a shark in the main street."
Capcom 'Saddened' By Game Plagiarism Controversy 163
Capcom's recent release of action platformer Maxsplosion for the iPhone caused indie developer Twisted Pixel to call Capcom out for copying the concept from their successful Xbox Live game 'Splosion Man. Twisted Pixel said they had no plans for legal action, since they were "too small to take on a company like Capcom." The indie studio had even pitched the game to Capcom for publishing at one point, but were declined. Now, Capcom has released a statement denying that Maxsplosion's development team had any knowledge of the meetings and saying, "MaXplosion was developed independently by Capcom Mobile. Nonetheless, we are saddened by this situation and hope to rebuild the trust of our fans and friends in the gaming community."

I think it is a collosal waste of money, and investing $B in infrastructure is just going to encourage people to move to an area which is inherently unsafe and very expensive to make livable
this is a great idea, but most people are all talk and no action. i was born and raised in new orleans, and tell everyone NOT to encourage people to live there by doing a few simple things. it's easy:
just don't drink coffee, don't grow or consume agricultural products that might go through that port (e.g. corn, soybeans, wheat) and please don't use natural gas or petroleum. we all know how those oil guys are ruining the marshes, and if they have jobs they'll live there. it's the same with the longshoremen. thinking of holding your annual convention in new orleans? think not!
don't listen to any music that comes out of there and don't watch or rent movies that were filmed there. don't watch, play, or participate in any way in any football/basketball games that take place there, especially if it's the BCS championship, super bowl, or ncaa final four. next year's nba all-star game is off limits, too. never go down there for mardi gras, and please don't tell anybody about it. the videos of co-eds flashing their tits don't help, either. please don't encourage people to go there by watching. jazzfest is totally out of the question.
oh yeah. and don't read any fiction that romanticizes that place. talk to your local school board and have them remove books, stories, and plays where the action takes place there. we don't want kids getting ideas about going there.
i try, but everybody wants their goddamn coffee!
