Lady Gaga Admits to Eating Disorder
While guest appearing at a conference at an LA high school, Gaga admits she struggled with bulimia during her own high school days LADY GAGA HAS MADE NO SECRET ABOUT HER PAST STRUGGLES WITH SELF ESTEEM AND BULLYING, AND NOW THE SINGER ISN'T HOLDING BACK ABOUT HER LONGTIME BATTLE WITH BULIMIA. THE MOTHER MONSTER WAS A SURPRISE GUEST AT THE "IT'S OUR TURN" YOUNG WOMEN'S CONFERENCE HOSTED BY MARIA SHRIVER, AT AN LA SCHOOL LAST WEEKEND...AND SHE DIDN'T HOLD BACK WHEN A STUDENT ASKED HER HOW SHE DEALS WITH BODY ISSUES: "I used to throw up all the time in high school," SHE SAID. "So I'm not that confident. I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina, but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night." "I used to come home and say, 'Dad, why do you always give us this food? I need to be thin,'" the BORN THIS WAY SINGER ADDED. "And he'd say, 'Eat your spaghetti.'" LUCKILY, GAGA SOON REALIZED THE TOLL HER EATING DISORDER WAS TAKING ON HER THROAT... "It made my voice bad, so I had to stop. The acid on your vocal chords ... it's very bad." THEN SHE TOLD THE PACKED GYM OF GIRLS, "Every video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you; they make you perfect. It's not real life... "I'm encouraging you to know what you're worth. And know that no matter who has more money and class, who has more stuff, who has a country house - nobody is worth more than anybody else."

Baucus' Highway Bill Rolls through Finance Committee, Heads to Senate Floor
February 7, 2012 ***For Immediate Release*** Baucus' Highway Bill Rolls through Finance Committee, Heads to Senate Floor Senator Passes Bipartisan Plan to Pay for Investment in Highway Jobs without Adding to the Federal Debt (Washington, DC) -- Montana's senior US Senator Max Baucus passed a bipartisan plan to responsibly pay for investments in the Highway Bill through his Senate Finance Committee today. As a senior member of the Environment and Public Work Committee, Baucus helped pass the policy framework of the bill unanimously through that committee in November. Together with the Finance Committee package that passed today, the complete two-year Highway Bill Reauthorization is expected to be considered on the Senate floor as early as this week. The last Highway Bill, passed in 2005, brought more than $2.3 billion to Montana for highway construction projects -- a $7 return to Montana for every $1 invested -- and helped create and sustain more than 18000 good-paying jobs across the state. "Montana is a highway state, and we've seen firsthand that smart investments in our transportation system yield big returns for jobs and businesses. Every investment in a bridge is an investment in a good-paying construction job, and every investment in a road is an investment in a Montana business that ships good and services across the state and across the country," Baucus said.

PSN Changes and Game Violence Bill In OK - Press Pause Daily
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 04:00:00 02/08/12
PSN making some changes and a violent game tax on tap in Oklahoma.
SHOW NOTES:
Story 1:
So if you are a Playstation Network member, you probably got an email on Monday stating that there would be some changes on the way for the system.
According to Sony, stating today, your account will no longer be called a Playstation Network account, but would instead be called a Sony Entertainment Network account.
Now before you got and get worried that you’ll have to create a new name, or password, and go through a whole complicated process, Sony has said that this is just a change in name only.
According to them, “This helps us get closer to our goal of establishing a global comprehensive network platform of services across games, movies, music, and more."
So I guess Sony is looking to create more synergy across their entertainment properties. Only time will tell if the move will be a good one.
http://www.gamespot.com/news/psn-accounts-undergoing-name-change-6349822
Story 2:
So another politician is trying to attack violent video games, this time in Oklahoma.
Democratic state representative William Fourkiller (which is a fairly ironic last name don’t ya think?) has introduced House Bill HB 2696. This bill would levy a 1% tax on any video game that receives an ESRB rating of Teen, Mature, or Adults Only. This is on top of any other existing sales tax. The money raised would go to create two new funds: one to get youth involved in outdoor activities, and one to with bullying prevention.
According to Fourkiller, games are a major cause of obesity and bullying in our society, but since they make a lot of money, could be part of the solution.
Of course, the game industry isn’t taking this lying down. Dan Hewitt of the Entertainment Software Association says that he is disappointed that politicians are still trying to attack gaming in a way that is patently unconstitutional. He also said that "Taxing First Amendment protected material based on its content is misguided."
So a lot of politicians REALLY don’t like violent video games. They keep trying to control them, and it always ends the same way. You’d think they would learn their lesson by now.

This edition of Drive it! takes us to the automotive past, present and future. There’s the new Audi A4, and a review of BMW’s electric concept cars. We also pay a nostalgic visit to the original VW Bug and its revamped successor, the New Beetle. Plus a report on a car that can influence the outcome of Formula 1 races despite not competing.Present it! Audi A4Now in its 8th generation, the A4 has become Audi’s best-selling model.In almost 40 years, Audi has sold almost 10 million units of the A4 and its predecessor the Audi 80. Now the carmaker presents a massively revamped A4 series. The design is even bolder. The horizontal lines at the front are more pronounced, and the bulge in the hood is more prominent. The revamped engines are said to consume up to 11% less fuel. Together, the sedan and Avant wagon models offer a choice of six TDI and four diesel versions. Drive it! tests the new A4 sedan powered by a 2.0-liter TFSI engine.Compare it! The Seat Alhambra and Ford GalaxyThe two MPVs share a common history.The first generation of the people-carrier in 1995 was ultimately a joint production from Ford, Seat and Volkswagen. Although the collaboration ended three years later, with Ford developing the second generation of the Galaxy on its own, the basic structure of the carmakers' models remained virtually identical until 2006. The second generation of the Seat Alhambra has been on the market since 2010. Drive it! takes a closer look at the most powerful diesel versions of the two models. The Alhambra delivers 125 kW of power, the Galaxy delivers 147 kW. So what other differences are there between the close cousins? Picture it! The BMW i3 and i8The two concepts are intended to give us a glimpse of the automotive future.The i3 concept is set to be BMW’s first mass-produced fully electric car, and has been designed with tomorrow’s urban traffic already in mind. The BMW i8 concept is a plug-in hybrid that embodies the vision of a modern, sustainable sports car. The i8 combines the modified electric engine from the i3 (front axle) with a 164 kW/300 Nm three-cylinder high-performance gasoline engine (rear axle). The dynamic duo are due out in late 2012 or early 2013. Test it! The VW BeetleThe New Beetle constitutes a difficult challenge for Volkswagen.The new generation aims to capture some of the magic of the Bug-original. That didn’t really work out in the 1998 incarnation of the New Beetle, which was never accepted by Bug fans as a worthy successor. The latest attempt from VW is a modern car determined to convey that genuine Bug feel. Constantin Beims asked Bug connoisseurs what they make of the New Beetle.Admire it! The Mercedes SLS AMG Coupe Formula 1 Safety CarA non-competing vehicle that can determine the outcome of a race.Huge leads can be whittled down and entire race strategies destroyed. But safety has to have top priority. Safety Cars in Formula 1 debuted at the 1973 Canadian Grand Prix, and since 1996 have been provided by Mercedes’ works tuner AMG. The cars’ mission: to take the danger out of hazardous situations. The SLS AMG will again be heading the field occasionally this season. Drive it! meets Bernd Mayländer, who’s been at the wheel of the safety car for 12 years. He shows us the special features that make the SLS AMG Safety Car so unique.

Nearly The News #106
LET THE DEFAULTED LOANS SHINE IN
A source inside the Obama administration has told Cap News that the solar panels produced by the now defunct Solyndra actually gave the sun more power.
"The sun has never been brighter," said the anonymous source. "We can literally trace how much bigger and hotter its gotten during the time Solyndra was in operation."
Former Solyndra officials indicated that the schematics for the solar panels were drawn backwards, causing a reflective effect, which delivered energy back to the source. The diameter of our sun increased several thousand miles over the course of six years, during which time solar flares reached an all time high, frequently interrupting cell phone service.

ROLLIN’ JOE, ROLLIN’ SLOW
Derfmagazine.com says Penn State’s athletic department has confirmed that the on-campus statue of Joe Paterno has been outfitted with wheels so that it can be used for coaching and recruiting visits. The statue is expected to play the exact same role in recruiting and coaching as Joe Paterno did over the past decade.
Despite losing his job after failing to report allegations of child sexual abuse to police, they still have a soft spot for Paterno at Penn State. “I cannot think of anything that could happen that would make us not want to have him around,” said an un-named official. “And I can’t think of one disgusting, sinister, ungodly ordeal that would change that.”

Les Jupes - "One Solemn Oath": SXSW 2012 Showcasing Artist
Les Jupes are a new band from the centre of Canada versed in expansive musical landscapes, sharp lyrics and an observer's eye for the world. They are four Anglos with a French name making big, broad and determined music. And they are at the centre of a prairie renaissance growing around Head In The Sand Records. Their debut album Modern Myths is built on Michael Petkau Falk's baritone charging through waves of psychedelia and driving rhythms. Pounding, introspective, at times fierce, at times playful. It is purposefully dyslexic - an echo of the characters entombed and a mirror of the writer. Having moved to Montreal and quitting music in 2005, this album culminates the creative turnaround of "the patron saint of the Winnipeg music scene" (Jaxon Haldane) - a process which also brought us the Record Of The Week Club in 2009. Modern Myths was recorded over a year and a half when Montreal producer/engineer Marcus Paquin (frontman of Last Gang's Silver Starling) found time from working on Arcade Fire's The Suburbs. Marcus and Mike have that rare magic found in friends who share similar musical visions. The process of recording Modern Myths also brought turnover - one version of Les Jupes slowly dissipated and another has come to take its place. David Schellenberg (The Playing Cards), Adam Klassen and Kelly Beaton (All Of Your Friends) have brought new passion and skill to this song cycle and anticipation for next wave of songs.

China's first ever Snow Polo World Cup was held on Saturday, with 12 international teams battling it out on the field. The ancient sport is seeing a comeback in China after almost 1000 years. China's first ever Snow Polo World Cup kicked off in the country's largest polo facility on Saturday, with 12 top international teams attracting a crowd of new polo enthusiasts. The tournament was held at the Goldin Metropolitan Polo Club in Tianjin, an industrial port city an hour and a half by car from Beijing. The 12 teams, all members of the Federation of International Polo, fall into a 14-16 handicap range, which organizers say makes the tournament one of the most competitive in the world. Three matches%mdashHong Kong/China versus England, Argentina versus South Africa, and India versus the United States%mdashwere held after the opening parade on Sunday. Teams from Australia, Brazil, Chile, France, Italy and New Zealand will also be competing to become the first winners of the inaugural Snow Polo World Cup. Though it was once popular with China's upper classes during the Tang dynasty over 1000 years ago, the "sport of kings" died out almost entirely in China until a recent surge of interest in foreign sports became perceived as high class.

Red Star Coming To US and THQ Rough Times - Press Pause Daily

UK company bringing Japanese games to the US and times are looking tough for THQ.
SHOW NOTES:
Story 1:
A lot of really cool and interesting games are released every year in Japan, and very few of those find their way to the US. Well it looks like one UK company is trying to change that.
The company, called Rising Star Games, has been successfully bringing Japanese games to Europe for several year, and they have just opened their first US offices. The first game that the company will be bring to our shores is a game called Akai Katana, which will come to the Xbox 360 sometime in Q2. Red Star has also created another company that will handle digital download releases.
Hey, we are all for more cool games making their way to the good ol’ US of A. Here’s hoping that these guys are successful, so we can get many more.
http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/rising-star-games-cracks-america/090323
Story 2:
Saint’s Row publisher THQ is have a rough run recently. The company is currently trying to move away from licenced kids games to more adult fare. As such they made a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that they would be laying off 240 employees, mainly in the administrative areas of the company.
THQ also announced that CEO Brian Farrell would take a 50% paycut, as well as a reduction in his compensation package, should he be let go.
And the final blow came when the company received a notice from the NASDAQ that if their share price did not rise to above to at least $1 for 10 consecutive days by July 23rd, the company would be delisted and removed from the market.
The company has some good games, like Saint’s Row, UFC, and Darksiders. It would be a shame if the company folded. Here’s hoping that they can turn things around.
