Thousands of gamers may have been cut off from Microsoft's online gaming service, Xbox Live, for modifying their computers to play pirated games. Online reports suggest that as many as 600,000 gamers may have been affected and Microsoft has confirmed that it has banned what it calls a "small percentage of the 20 million Xbox Live users worldwide.
Microsoft had previously stated that modifying an Xbox 360 console violates the service's terms of use and would result in a player being disconnected. The Xbox 360 is equipped with Digital Rights Management technologies to detect pirated software; however, Microsoft has not said exactly how it was able to determine which gamers to disconnect "We do not reveal specific, but can say that all banned consoles have been verified to have violated the terms of use," the firm said in a statement.
The health of the video game business depends on customers paying for the genuine products and services they receive from manufacture, retailers, and the third parties that support them. Industry figures suggest that priacy may cost the video game industry as much as £750m a year.

Games and Activities - Toxic Waste
This is a popular, engaging small group activity which provides a rich teamwork challenge. The challenge is to we the "toxic waste" contents of a bucket to the "neutralization" container using minimal equipment and maintaining a safe distance within a time limit. It is moderately difficult and works best for groups that have already dealt with basic teamwork issues. Avoid using this activity with groups who are still in the early stages of group development.
Set-Up
Use the rope to create a circle at least 8 feet in diameter on the ground to represent the toxic waste radiation zone. The larger the zone, the more difficult the activity. Place the small bucket in the center of the radiation zone and fill it with water or balls to represent the toxic waste. Place the large neutralization bucket approximately 30 to 50 feet away. The greater the distance, the more difficult the activity. Put all other equipment (i.e., bungee, cords) in a pile near the rope circle.
Directions
The challenge is for the group to work out how to transfer the toxic waste from the small bucket into the large bucket, using only the equipment provided within a lime frame. The waste will blow up and destroy the world after 20 minutes if it is not neutralized. Anyone who ventures into the radiation zone will suffer injury and possibly even death, and spillage will create death arid destruction. Therefore, the group should aim to save the world and do so without injury to any group members.
Facilitator Notes
Toxic Waste is not an easy exercise and most groups will benefit from some coaching along the way. The solution involves attaching the cords to the bungee loop, then guiding the bungee with the strings to sit around and grab the toxic waste bucket. Then with everyone pulling on their cord and with good coordination and care, the toxic waste bucket can be lifted, moved and tipped into the empty neutralizing bucket.

Surprise Rise in Australian Jobs
Australia's economy created more jobs than expected in October, with 24,500 more people finding employment. It is Ihe second monthly gain in a row and has led analysts to speculate that interest rates will be increased in December to 3.75% from 3.5%.
In October, Australia became the first G20 country to raise interest rates since the global recession began, and it raised rates again earlier this month. The news sent the Australian dollar to a 15-month high.

A Dream Interpretation: Tuneups for the Brain
It's snowing heavily, and everyone in the backyard is in a swimsuit, at some kind of party: Mom, Dad, the high school principal. there's even an ex-girlfriend. And is that Elvis, over by the pitana? Uh-oh.
Dreams are so rich and have such an authentic feeling that scientists have long assumed they must have a crucial psychological purpose. To Freud, dreaming provided a playground for the unconscious mind; to Jung, it was a stage where the psyche acted out primal themes. Newer theories hold that dreams help the brain to consolidate emotional memories or to work through current problems.
Yet what if the primary purpose of dreaming isn't psychological at all? In a paper published last month, Dr. J. Allan Hobson, a psychiatrist and longtime sleep researcher at Harvard, argues that the main function of rapid-eye-moyement sleep, or REM, when most dreaming occurs, is physical. The brain is warming its circuits, anticipating the sights and sounds and emotions of waking, while REM sleep has safely paralyzed the body preventing movement and speech.
Dr. Hobson argues that dreaming is a parallel state of consciousness that is continually running but normally suppressed during waking. The idea of dreams as a kind of sound check for the brain may bring some comfort, as well. That ominous dream of people gathered on the lawn for some strange party? Probably meaningless. No reason to scream, even if it were possible.

| To: Timothy Hi Timothy, Thanks for sending the chart I requested so promptly, I know it was extremely short notice. I just want to check a few things before I present it to our shareholders this afternoon I always thought shoes were our highest profit product. I think we all just take that fact for granted; so, are we mistaken? Do we consistently sell more coats than shoes? Or could the data points be mixed up, perhaps? I had a quick glance at the row data sheets, and that didn't make me feel any more confident..... Also, could you label the units used on the profit axis? Of course we all know, but I know the stockholders will need a bit of guidance. I could write it in pen, but that's just not, you know, the image we want to portray to our investors. Please check up on the above points. I'll pass by in 10 minutes or so to talk about this. To make a mistake this afternoon would be embarrassing Alison |

| ABSOLUTE INTERIOR DESIGN Our work ranges from a single, small detail to complete residential protects. Each job begins with either a brief telephone or email conversation at which time the basics of the client's needs are discussed. There is no fee for this preliminary service. This is followed by an Initial Consultation where more in-depth information about the client's requirements, wishes and budget details is discussed. Over the past twenty years we've found access to unique sources, both national and international, that include craftspeople with special talents which are not available in the general marketplace. Experience also allows us to carry out efficient projects which eliminate virtually all of the negative aspects and fears usually associated with larger-scale renovations. While we are effective with project supervision, we also are realistic when describing the dusty, messy and unpleasant times which are part and parcel of a major renovation project. We prepare the client, with as much information as possible, for the process which their home is about to undergo as it changes from a group of poorly functioning spaces into a dream home. |
| Date: 16 March Good morning Ms. Jamison, Following our telephone conversation of Friday the 12th March, and much discussion with my wife, I'm delighted to tell you we wish to proceed with the proposed project If you recall, we wish to alter our small kitchen info an open-plan kichen and living area I believe the next step is for you to come to our home and begin dicussion of the details We would like to get this project underway as soon as possible with an aim of finishing by early July Please let me know when you are available for the Intial Consultation Sincerely, Bob Brown |

Unfortunately our staff were not prepared, and this resulted in the deficiencies of cleanliness and service that you experienced, In order to change your opinion of us, we would like to invite you to stay with us again, at no charge. I've enclosed a coupon in the letter for a week's accommodation redeemable at any of our lodges. I hope you will take up our offer to experience our usual, phenomenal service. Sincerely, Jose Campbell |

| To: Mrs. Amy Smith Dear Mrs. Smith, I received your e-mail requesting my preference for a place in the Friday morning or afternoon poster sessions. I'm not sure which to choose. I am especially interested in the practical applications of laws that aim to protect the environment. therefore I would hate to miss the first and last lecture of the day on Friday. When does the afternoon poster session end? If it ends later than 4:30, would it be acceptable for me to pack up early so as not to miss Dr. Kay's lecture? Are there any other days when poster sessions are being held that I could perhaps switch to? I'm sorry to trouble you in what must be a very busy time, but I am looking forward to the conferrence, it will be my first, and I am eager to get as much out of it as possible. Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Anna Jamison |
