Four-dollar-a-gallon gas is good for business — if you run a bike shop. Commuters around the country are dusting off their old two-wheelers — or buying new ones — to cope with rising fuel prices, bicycle dealers say. "Everyone that comes in the shop is talking about the gas prices," said Barry Dahl, who opened Barry's Bikes in Bismarck in April. He sold more than 50 bicycles in the first month, double the projections in his business plan. Teacher Joyce McCusker of Herndon, Va., owns a bicycle for the first time in years. She bought it last month and uses it to make the eight-mile trip home from work. A friend drives her pickup to take McCusker's daughter home from school. "I'm still using fossil fuel," she said. "In two years, my goal is to ride both ways, every day through the year." About 18 million bicycles have been sold annually in the U.S. over the past few years, accounting for about $6 billion in annual sales, said Fred Clements, executive director the National Bicycle Dealers Association in Costa Mesa, Calif. Bicycle shops across the country are reporting strong sales so far this year, and more people are bringing in bikes that have been idled for years, he said. "People are riding bicycles a lot more often, and it's due to a mixture of things but escalating gas prices is one of them," said Bill Nesper, spokesman for the Washington. D.C.-based League of American Bicyclists. "We're seeing a spike in the number of calls we're getting from people wanting tips on bicycle commuting," he said. The League of American Bicyclists is promoting Bike-to-Work Week this week and Bike-to-Work Day on May 16. Nesper said he expects a record number of people will be pedaling this year. There's almost nowhere for the numbers to go but up: The group says less than one-half of 1 percent of Americans ride a bike to work. Mark Krenz, 48, is giving it a try. The Bismarck auto-parts store manager recently spent $750 on the 24-speed bike and is building up his mileage to prepare for his hilly commute. "In this business, everybody is constantly talking about how to save gas," Krenz said. "I bought a bike because I figure it's a good way to save money, get in shape and save wear and tear on my pickup." Rocky Schell, owner of Val's Cycle in Minot, said this may be one of the best years in the history of the shop, started by his father in 1960. It's seeing a spike in the number of tuneups and repairs, which had been declining for the past 15 years. Schell said he's also selling lots of bike trailers designed to haul children — customers are using them for groceries instead. A big percentage of Schell's customers haven't been on a bike in decades. "I'm seeing more people my age or older coming in," said Schell, 51. "The college-age kids to 30-year-olds aren't the ones coming in. They still want to drive." Dahl, the Bismarck bike shop owner, said he's worked several on "dusty and rusty" bicycles that hadn't been ridden in at least 25 years. He said many families have told him that that they intend to go on a bicycle tour this summer instead of driving somewhere for vacation. "Millions of people have bicycles hanging in the garage and they're getting them down and riding them," said Rebecca Anderson, advocacy director for Trek Bicycle Corp. "People are looking at the bicycle as more than just a toy." The Waterloo, Wis.-based company last year started a program called One World, Two Wheels to promote bicycles for transportation and recreation. Anderson said that about 40 percent of trips by car are 2 miles or less — "a habit for some people to get in a car and drive just a few blocks." Clive Greenberg, a salesman at Metro Bicycles in New York City, said spin cycling classes at health clubs, where people use stationary bikes for a workout, also are spurring bicycle sales. "It's pretty interesting, a good majority of middle-age people involved in that spinning craze at the gym used to come in and buy cycling shoes," he said. "Now they are getting on real bikes." Engineer Dale Heinert said he's been seeing more fellow bicycle commuters on his daily trek to work in downtown Bismarck. Heinert, 56, started cycling to work when the price of gas began skyrocketing — in 1973. But that isn't the only reason for choosing pedal power: "It's a stress-reliever," he said. Steve Stelton, 47, of Bismarck, was inspired by Greg LeMond's 1986 Tour de France victory and has been commuting year-round ever since. He said he's physically fit because of it and has saved "a ton of money on gas." Stelton, a printer, doesn't let North Dakota's cold, windy weather slow him down. He said he's ridden to work on snow-covered roads when the wind chill temperature was 40-below zero. "If you waited for a bluebird day to ride to work in North Dakota," he said, "you'd never do it." Ya sales are up here as well. I sure see a lot more bike riders on the road. Source HERE

A bipartisan bill was introduced in the US House of Representatives Wednesday aimed at forcing stores to card minors attempting to purchase video games rated "Adults Only" or "Mature." It's not the first time such legislation has been tried. "Too many children are spending too much time playing inappropriate video games that most parents would find shocking and objectionable," reads a statement from the bill's principal sponsor, Rep. Lee Terry (R - Neb.), on behalf of co-sponsor Rep. Jim Matheson (D - Utah). "As a parent, I know that I'm the first line of defense against my kids playing Mature-rated video games. But parents can't be everywhere monitoring everything and some reasonable, common sense rules ought to be in place to back parents up." As H.R. 5990 currently reads, "It shall be unlawful for any person to ship or otherwise distribute in interstate commerce, or to sell or rent, a video game that does not contain a rating label, in a clear and conspicuous location on the outside packaging of the video game, containing an age-based content rating determined by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board." The Entertainment Software Rating Board issues a "Mature" rating to video games with content it deems appropriate only for people 17 years of age or older, while the "Adults Only" tag is reserved for much more objectionable content, for gamers at least 18 years old. Rep. Terry hopes the official acknowledgment of the ESRB rating system will give his bill a better chance of staying the law of the land once the President signs it. Similar to Matheson's failed H.R. 5345 bill two years ago, retailers would be required to post video game ratings "in a clear and conspicuous location." Any store found in violation would be forced to pay a fine up to $5,000. The Federal Trade Commission would be responsible for penalizing retailers. Even though it's impossible to stop folks over 17 from purchasing M-rated games for minors, Rep. Matheson said the bill would help ensure minors will be less likely to buy it without their parents' permission. This is Matheson's second attempt to co-author such legislation. Several stores, including Wal-Mart and GameStop, already card M-rated content purchasers. Stores in California and other states also sporadically card shoppers who attempt to purchase video games known to contain violence. In May 2006, the state of Oklahoma signed H.B. 3004 into law, which added games with "inappropriate violence" to a growing list of items considered harmful for minors. The Entertainment Software Association announced soon afterward it would file a lawsuit against Oklahoma, claiming the bill would restrict Sooners' First Amendment rights. Earlier in 2008, a similar law in Minnesota was blocked by a federal appeals court, stopping a law that would have fined minors $25 if they were caught attempting to purchase or rent video games with the "M" or "AO" rating. Similar pieces of legislation in California, Michigan, and Louisiana have been shot down over possible First Amendment violations. California passed legislation in October 2005 supported by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ® that would make sale to minors illegal, and would force the clear labeling of video games. That law was struck down in August 2007 by a US District Court. Gov. Schwarzenegger appealed the decision, though at this point it will likely never become law. Late last year, both US Senators and presidential candidates were put in the hot seat when they were asked to discuss the controversy surrounding the controversial launch of Manhunt 2. Presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton (D - N.Y.) and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I - Conn.) have supported legislation both on the state and federal level, and worked with the ESRB for a nationwide television campaign to inform parents about violent video games in 2006. Critics of game legislation claim more must be done to educate parents about video game ratings, saying game legislation is not the answer. Furthermore, critics say minors can purchase the same video games via the Internet with the use of a debit or credit card without having to prove they are over the age of 17 or 18. The FTC's most recent "undercover shopper" test discovered that 80% of 253 minors were turned down when they tried to purchase M-rated games. Its test the year before found only 58% of children were turned down, and Rep. Matheson claims 42% of unsupervised teens aged 13 to 16 could purchase M-rated video games in 2005. I am confused here. I thought that all games had a rating system on the outside of the package already. At least every game I have bought for the last 3 years has. I guess they want to make the stores have it in plain site so there is no confusion in what the rating is so that no minor can accidentally buy it. $5000 fine for retailer if not up to code. A bit stiff if you ask me. Well they got a rating for lyrics on Music cds so I guess games are next. Source HERE

A Microsoft executive has thrown cold water on hopes that the company would try again with Yahoo, and sources indicate the company has released its proxy slate of would-be Yahoo directors. During a tour of company executives in Jakarta, Indonesia on Thursday, Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie told Reuters that Microsoft considers its efforts to acquire Yahoo over, and that the company had moved on to what he termed as "Plan B." Click Here Those plans essentially are a continuation of what Microsoft had already been doing: strengthening its online presence, and attempting to catch up to Yahoo and Google in the battle for search. He would not completely rule out a reconsideration if Yahoo would approach it and say it would consider Microsoft's top offer, which stood at $33 per share. Microsoft is not expecting that to happen, however. Two weeks ago, Microsoft assembled a high-power slate of proxy directors for nomination to Yahoo's board, in the event such a nomination was necessary to carry out the will of its shareholders to merge with Microsoft. That slate reportedly included former and current high-level executives with such firms as Nextel Partners and Adelphia. In what many took as an indication that a proxy fight will not happen, it has been widely reported that these would-be directors were given their release by Microsoft earlier this week. Those directors would be free to join any other shareholder-led proxy battle, which is already underway, though it looks like Microsoft would not offer official support in the matter. But as Silicon Valley Insider blogger -- and former infamous trader -- Henry Blodget believes, the release of the proxy slate was just a formality, an indication that Microsoft will not attempt a hostile bid at this time. Such a move might actually pave the way, he implied, for a later, non-hostile in the future -- presumably for a much lower amount. A deadline for nominations for the board of directors comes on May 15. While shareholders are working to have an opposition slate set up by then, its not clear if they would be able to do so by the deadline. Looks like it is done and over with. I know the shareholders of Yahoo were really pissed at the execs for not taking the dead. At one time I think they were even going to sue the execs of Yahoo over not accepting this deal. But for now it is done and over with. I knew that it would not happen anyway. Too much stake in Yahoo for them to just turn over and say ok. Source HERE

It's been almost one year since social music network Last.fm was acquired by CBS, and the site has opened "Last.fm/presents," offering original video content from prominent artists. Last.fm says this is its first attempt at providing original content altogether, and Last.fm/presents has launched with exclusive interviews with Moby, Santogold, Spoon, and Joshua Radin. A following series of "high profile musicians" is being prepared for online broadcast. Video content is being provided by CBS' Audience Network, which could be classed as a subnetwork of the television broadcaster. The network is aimed at distributing its video content to Web 2.0 sites, packaging them with in-video, pre- and post-roll, or overlaid advertisements, and providing them free of charge. The first videos on Last.fm/presents do not have any such advertisements. Last.fm adds to the already extensive list of partners in the CBS Audience Network which includes AOL, Microsoft, CNET, Comcast, Sling Media, Amazon, Yahoo, Apple, Joost, Bebo, and Brightcove. Pretty sweet some very interesting videos here that you will not see anywhere else from some some great not so well known bands. Check it out HERE Source HERE

Take-Two Interactive Software Inc (TTWO.O) said on Friday that "Pirates of the Caribbean" director Gore Verbinski will make a movie version of "BioShock," its hit video game about an underwater utopia gone disastrously wrong. The movie will be made by Universal Pictures, a unit of NBC Universal owned by General Electric Co (GE.N), and John Logan, writer of "Gladiator" and "Sweeney Todd," was in talks to pen the screenplay, Take-Two said. "Gore is an avid video gamer and true fan of 'BioShock'. That was extremely important to us in deciding to move forward with this project," Christoph Hartmann, president of Take-Two's 2K Games label, said in a statement. Take-Two did not disclose financial terms of the deal or other details, such as when the film would be released. The company is the target of a $2 billion takeover bid by rival game publisher Electronic Arts Inc. Released last August for Microsoft Corp's (MSFT.O) Xbox 360 game console, "BioShock" won praise for its complex story, haunting art deco atmosphere and creepy characters such as Big Daddies and Little Sisters. "BioShock" has sold more than 2 million copies and Take-Two is working on a sequel. The "BioShock" movie deal is the latest sign of the growing importance of video games in popular culture. Earlier this week, Take-Two said its "Grand Theft Auto 4" criminal action game racked up more than $500 million in global sales in its first week. That handily topped Hollywood's biggest film debut, Verbinski's "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," which pulled in $406 million in global box office receipts in its first six days. Microsoft made headlines when it signed "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson to produce a movie adaptation of its hit "Halo" video game, but the project was put on hold in 2006 when financial backers Universal and 20th Century Fox, a unit of News Corp (NWSa.N) pulled out of the deal. Sweet another horror movie based on a horror video game. Bring it on can't wait. Source HERE
