Mass Effect 2 serves up mass market RPG action (14)
Mass Effect 2 nails that elusive mix of highbrow and lowbrow (as the terms apply to game mechanics). There's still a complex plot, and characters with intertwining motives and methods, plus the flexibility to approach tasks in whatever order you choose. At the same time, most of the actual RPG stat-counting takes place behind the scenes (weapons stats no longer need to be pored over, the game simply defaults to the best guns you have), and the physical actions of running, shooting, and taking cover are much closer to what we expect from the current generation of highly polished third-person action games. The focus on traditional duck-and-cover shooting is a clear indication of Mass E... 		Jane Fonda to make fitness comeback at 72 (13)
Veteran actress Jane Fonda is set to make a return to fitness instruction - she's filming a workout DVD aimed at older women. The "Barbarella" star recorded and released a series of hit exercise videos throughout the 1980s, and now at the age of 72 she is planning to make a fitness comeback. And she's determined to encourage elderly people sitting at home to get moving again, insisting, "We will film them in mid-March. Mine will target an audience that has been left out, my age group and the (baby) boomers. I want to get to people who have stopped working out or never did." And she's hoping the project will be as successful as her first tapes, which were made with... 		PS 122 Presents Marisa Olson (12)
of the self-help "guru" in encouraging viewers to think about the role of mindfulness and positive thinking in their interactions with the environment. Her message is ultimately to stop freaking out and start chilling out. Expect kitsch and giggles as much as tranquility and a reawakening of your bodily senses. Marisa Olson is an admitted internet junky and a serious bookworm. This performance is both a product and a trace of her research into fluke epistemologies, the vernacular of digital visual culture, and the intersecting histories of science and superstition, new ageism and DIY/homebrew computing culture. If you'll allow her to mix metaphors about body heat, global warm...

Haitian orphan may be united with family in Kenner soon (12)
Mary Landrieu, D-La., who held a news conference with a bipartisan group of senators Tuesday to push the State Department to do everything it can to expedite the adoption process, said the United States should minimize the suffering of children who have already "endured so much." Jennifer Oettle said she and her husband have been told that if he travels to Haiti and can demonstrate that their adoption papers are in order he has a chance of returning home with Judah as early as this weekend. "From the moment we met him (Judah), we just knew he was going to be part of our family," Jennifer Oettle said. "We are very hopeful he'll be home with us soon." She said that she...

"He's got tremendous, tremendous, tremendous heart and will to win and to prove that he can play."A one-minute stretch late in the game told it all about Downey, who finished with another 30-point effort, his fourth since USC began conference play six games ago.

Windpower isn't that reliable (10)

that Illinois consumers should rest easy when they click their light switches to pull electricity generated from windmills ("Renewable energy," Jan. 18). Let's be clear about the reliability of windmills. All wind-capacity numbers including those of Mr. Donahue's windmills, are taken from the brass plate that riveted on every windmill in America. This "plated capacity" of a windmill is the power that windmill could generate were the wind blowing by its blades 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at a wind speed varying from no less than 5 mph to no more than 25 mph. In fact, the wind does not blow 24/7, nor does it consistently blow within the narrow range that makes electric...
Apple looking to use solar power for portable devices? (10)

the company has apparently already set its sight on its next technological breakthrough: the ability to run portable devices using solar power.According to The Atlantic, Apple recently submitted patent applications for a new system that could attach miniature solar panels onto their iPod and iPhone products to charge them without the need to plug anything into a power source. The article went on to estimate that a solar paneled iPod could receive about 1.2 watts per hour, less than the 5 watts per hour it receives from a standard charger.Lending more credence to the idea that Apple products were going solar was the recent announcement by China-based New Energy S...
U.S. Should Embrace Using Nukes for Nuclear Threat Only, Experts Say (10)

If those countries develop their own arsenals "I believe we will cross over a nuclear tipping point, greatly increasing the danger of a nuclear catastrophe in the world," he said. "We must do everything in our power to prevent that from happening," Perry added.

Evans said nuclear doctrine was a "lively issue" for debate among commission members because "there's still a constituency" for extended deterrence -- possible use of a nuclear-strategic...
