Tech Talk Gaming: Microsoft Says No New Game Console at E3 ...

Xbox 720

It looks like Microsoft is making too much money on the Xbox 360 to consider releasing a new game console this year. The company confirmed Friday that it won?t be bringing along any new Xbox hardware to June?s E3 video game conference, and from the sounds of things, there won?t be a so-called Xbox 720 until 2013 at the earliest.

?We can confirm that there will be no talk of new Xbox hardware at E3 or anytime soon,? Microsoft?s David Dennis said in an emailed statement on Friday. ?For us, 2012 is all about Xbox 360, and it?s the best year ever for Xbox 360.?

While not an outright denial that the next Xbox could be released in 2012, the official Microsoft position seems to align with a?Bloomberg report?from earlier in the day citing unnamed sources who said the software giant wants to ?squeeze ? at least one more year of sales out of its current model.?

Dennis elaborated on Microsoft?s success with the current hardware platform, saying, ?Xbox 360 didn?t just outsell other consoles, it also outsold all other TV-connected devices like DVD players, as well as digital media receivers and home theater systems. And in our seventh year, we sold more consoles than in any other year, defying convention.?

Rumors about Microsoft?s next-generation game console have been circulating for months. In January,?reports from several outlets?touted a 2013 release for the successor to the 360. It?s also been speculated that the next Xbox will have built-in software that?rejects used games, that its controller will?sport a touch screen, and that it will pack?a new chipset code named Oban?that combines a Power PC central processor from IBM with Radeon HD 7000-series graphics from Advanced Micro Devices.

Dennis pointed to new media content being made available on the Xbox 360, as well as upcoming games like Halo 4 and Fable: The Journey that are built for the console and its popular Kinect motion sensor accessory. ?Our 2012 Xbox lineup is our strongest ever,? he said. He also noted that Microsoft will be making Xbox games, music, and video available via Windows 8 when the company releases its next-generation operating system, which is expected to happen in the fourth quarter of this year.

Caregiver Help

Caregiver Counseling to Reduce Stress

?

An astute Adult Son or Daughter?or Spouse will call Boca Home Care Services for help in planning. More often they call when the primary family caregiver can?t manage it all much more. We of course prefer the former and understand the latter. Whether due to costs, denial, guilt or whatever, the primary caregiver has a job no?one would seriously want. It is all encompassing and overwhelming, no time off and no pay. Respite care is so important to allow the primary caregiver some time off to recuperate, tend to their own needs, often medical and just recharge.

For most Long Term Care Insurance policies, the 5 ADLS aren?t even needed if there is Cognitive Impairment. So, save your energy, consider hiring a Home Care Aide a few times a week or for a short period of time and give yourself or your loved one some much needed time off.

Here are Ten Suggestions to Help YOU Lessen and Manage Your Stress as a Caregiver:

* TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF ? MAKE TIME TO DO WHAT YOU ENJOY

*UNDERSTAND/LEARN ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOUR LOVED ONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

*BECOME AN EDUCATED CAREGIVER- ATTEND SUPPORT GROUPS, READ? AND USE THE ALZHEIMER?S ASSOCIATION WEBSITE AND HELPLINE

*KEEP YOUR DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS ? REGULARLY

*ACCEPT THE CHANGES AS THEY OCCUR. THERE ISN?T A CRYSTAL BALL BUT THERE IS A KNOWN TRAJECTORY OF THIS DISEASE

*YOU CAN?T DO IT ALL BECAUSE YOU ARE HUMAN. FORGET GUILT AND TAKE YOUR CRECDIT

*PLAN AHEAD! SEE AN ELDER CARE PROFESSIONAL FOR LEGAL AND FINANCIAL PLANNING

*USE RELAXATION TECHNIQUES, SOCIALIZE,? TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF TO MANAGE YOUR STRESS LEVEL

*KNOW WHAT IS AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY ? DAY CARE CENTERS, SUPPORT GROUPS,? MEDICARE HOME HEALTH, PRIVATE HOME CARE COMPANIES

*GET HELP! IF YOU FALL APART PHYSICALLY OR EMOTIONALLY THEN YOUR LOVED ONE IS IN REAL TROUBLE. DON?T BE A HERO, GET HELP ? SHORT TERM, SPORADIC?.AS NEEDED

The Perception of ?Victor's Justice? in the International Criminal ...

In the article ?Beyond Victor?s Justice? The Challenge of Prosecuting the Winners at the International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda,?[1] Victor Peskin says that he is concerned with the perpetuation by the International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda (ICTR) of the ?victor?s justice? problem that plagued the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals. Although the ICTY and the ICTR are undoubtedly more fair than the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals were, insofar as they attempt to prosecute both the ?winning? and the ?losing? sides of the conflict, Peskin argues that the ICTY and the ICTR?s lack of enforcement powers makes it easy for victorious states to withhold evidence and the general assistance these tribunals need to investigate and prosecute suspects. As a result, Peskin argues that, over the years, few Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front army (RPF) and Croatian suspected war criminals have been indicted by the ICTY and the ICTR.

In my opinion, while in practice states cannot be compelled to cooperate with war crimes investigations, it is in their best interest to comply with the tribunals? orders and to refrain from obstructing the investigations. Firstly, as Payam Akhavan has argued in his article ?Beyond Impunity: Can International Criminal Justice Prevent Future Atrocities?? and as I previously argued on this blog[2], it is no longer profitable for political parties to be associated ?with the wartime leadership responsible for the criminal policy of ethnic cleansing.?[3] This is one of the factors than can explain the defeat of the nationalist Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) party in the January and February 2000 national elections in Croatia following the death of its ultranationalist leader Franjo Tudjman. Indeed, the late Croatian President was posthumously?found by the ICTY in the?Gotovina et al. case[4] to have participated in a joint criminal enterprise of ethnic cleansing in 1995 in the Krajina region. Secondly, it is also profitable from an economic and geopolitical standpoint for states to refrain from obstructing the criminal investigations. For example, in the case of Croatia, full and unequivocal cooperation with the ICTY is seen as essential in its bid to join the European Union.[5] In short, from both a political and an economic point of view victorious states have an interest in cooperating with the tribunals? investigations.

Unfortunately, these incentives often seem insufficient to ensure cooperation with the tribunals, especially in the case of the ICTR. As argued by Peskin, the Rwandan government has been successful in its attempt to ?put the tribunal and its poor administrative performance and slow progress on genocide cases on ?trial? in the court of international opinion in an effort to deflect attention from the government?s refusal to cooperate.?[6] Furthermore, the alleged involvement of international actors such as the United States and the United Kingdom in maintaining the Kagame regime ? which is suspected of withholding evidence that could be used in the prosecution of Tutsi suspected war criminals ? has contributed to the perception of a ?victor?s justice? problem.[7] The situation is hardly better in the former Yugoslavia, where it took more than four years for Croatian convicted war criminal Ante Gotovina to be arrested and extradited to The Hague, even though his capture was considered to be?conditio sine qua non for the accession of Croatia to the European Union.[8]

In the end, the various attempts to block the tribunals from delivering justice in an ?even-handed manner? illustrate that international criminal law, and international law in general, cannot be analyzed without reference to the wider geopolitical context and the strategic and diplomatic calculations based on realpolitik. Nonetheless, the fact remains that in order to avoid being perceived as ?victor?s justice? courts and to avoid sending a contradictory message of accountability, both the ICTY and the ICTR should do more to prosecute alleged war criminals, irrespective of which side they were on. As Peskin rightly pointed out, ?[i]nstead of promoting accountability, the tribunals? failure to prosecute the winners may actually promote impunity by teaching the lesson that atrocities will not be punished as long as one prevails in the battle.?[9]
