The victim, 57, was treated for non-life threatening injuries to his leg and neck at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
(UPI) – A woman said it was her puppy’s fault she swerved her car and struck a Seattle law enforcement officer, sending him to the hospital.
Hilary Dutton said she was driving her new Dodge sedan Tuesday when her
4-month-old pit bull, Cockie, stepped on the wheel and made it jerk, causing her to run into a police officer.
Officials said the officer was flagging at a construction zone when the incident took place, the Seattle Post Intelligencer reported Tuesday.
The victim, 57, was treated for non-life threatening injuries to his leg and neck at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, a hospital spokeswoman said.
“I felt really bad. I’ve never hit anybody before,” Dutton told the newspaper.
The Post-Intelligencer did not say whether charges may be filed.
Smith To Resurrect I Am Legend

Director Francis Lawrence has confirmed he is working on a follow-up to the hit 2007 film.

Will Smith is to revive his role in futuristic action movie I Am Legend for a prequel.
Director Francis Lawrence has confirmed he is working on a follow-up to the hit 2007 film and Smith’s character Dr. Robert Neville will return to complete the beginning of the story.
Lawrence says, “Absolutely (there will be a prequel), we’re actually trying to crack that. We’re trying to figure out some ideas for it, but yes, it would be a prequel.”
And the moviemaker insists that filming the follow-up will be much easier than working on the original, because the crew will not have to
shut off large areas of New York City again – a move that sparked chaos among commuters and city workers.
He adds, “The first time you go out there and shut down 6th Avenue, it’s like, ‘How are we going to do this day after day after day?’ But by the end, it’s just like you know how to do it.
“You got the PAs (personal assistants) who know how to shut it down, how to let the traffic through in between set-ups and you just sort of get the routine down, so that’s not the issue.”

Nintendo reports jump in 1Q profit on hit Wii
by FrEiBeRgS2002 on Jul.30, 2008, under Misc, On the News...

Because of the Wii and its popular games, Nintendo stays on top in Q1.
TOKYO (AP) – Nintendo Co.’s profit for the fiscal first quarter surged 34 percent as sales of its hit Wii console shot up, underlining the success of the video game unit in attracting novice players.
The Japanese manufacturer of Super Mario and Pokemon video games reported Wednesday a profit of 107.27 billion yen ($996 million) from April through June, up from 80.25 billion yen in the same period last year.
The big factor behind the stellar performance was the Wii and its game software, including the “Wii Fit,” which has drawn the health-conscious to doing simple exercises like yoga and aerobics with a video game.
Nintendo sold 5.2 million Wii machines worldwide during the quarter – 1.7 million than for the same period last year. It also sold 3.4 million “Wii Fit” games and 6.4 million “Mario Kart Wii” games.
Quarterly sales surged 24 percent to 423.38 billion yen ($3.9 billion), according to Kyoto-based Nintendo.
Nintendo has now sold a cumulative 29.6 million Wii machines worldwide since its arrival in late 2006.
The Wii, with its trademark wand-like remote controller, has scored success against the PlayStation 3 from Japanese rival Sony Corp., which went on sale about the same time, as well as against the Xbox 360 from Microsoft Corp.
At the latest count, worldwide PS3 sales lagged at fewer than half of the Wii at 14.4 million. More than 19 million Xbox 360 consoles have been sold so far worldwide, according to Microsoft.
On Tuesday, Sony said its April-June profit plunged to 34.98 billion yen ($326.9 million) – about half that recorded a year ago – as a strong yen, the absence of “Spider-Man 3″ revenue and faltering cell phone operations battered earnings.
Nintendo shrugged off an estimated 26.3 billion yen ($246 million) erosion in its quarterly sales from a strengthening yen, which gained about 15 percent against the dollar from last year. Solid Wii sales were enough to offset the losses from an unfavorable exchange rate, Nintendo said.
Nintendo is planning to sell 25 million Wii consoles and 28 million of its handheld DS machines for the fiscal year through March 2009. More broadly, it says it wants to make its products a “must-have” for every individual, not just every home.
Unlike old-style games that require players to push a complex combination of buttons, Wii comes with an easy-to-use remote to swing around like a tennis racket or fishing pole. The machine has proven appealing to relative newcomers to gaming, including the elderly and women.
Less robust were sales of the Nintendo DS handheld machines, especially in Japan, the company said.
DS sales for the quarter dipped by 40,000 to 6.94 million machines. Worldwide DS sales now total 77.54 million, according to Nintendo.
Nintendo kept its profit forecast for the fiscal year through March 2009 at 325 billion yen ($3 billion), up 26 percent from the record profit racked up the previous financial year. Its sales outlook was steady at 1.8 trillion yen ($16.8 billion) sales, up 7.6 percent from the previous year.
Nintendo shares gained 3.6 percent to 57,600 yen ($538) in Tokyo before the earnings were announced.

Google Knol – Yup, it’s a Wikipedia killer
by FrEiBeRgS2002 on Jul.29, 2008, under Technology
Google Knol, Mountain View’s answer to Wikipedia, launched last week and, while it can’t yet match the volume of articles on Wikipedia, its focus on accountability and ownership makes it a better choice for students and teachers.
Consider the article on asthma by John Fahy. According to the knol (a knol, according to Google, by the way, is a unit of knowledge), John Fahy is a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Google notes that this has been verified and a quick search for Fahy turns up his biographical site at UCSF. Try getting that information at Wikipedia about one of the authors.
I’ve always been a fan of Wikipedia. The amount of information available on the site is extraordinary, free, and usually a fairly accurate starting point for research or quick answers to questions. However, it has no accountability other than a community that can edit and comment on an article. Knol, on the other hand, removes contributors anonymity and gives students the ability to verify sources of information.
Will it be able to grow as quickly as Wikipedia? Probably not; plenty of people with subject matter knowledge simply aren’t willing to put their names and faces on the web. Is it an inherently more reliable tool that can improve students’ research capabilities? I think it is. It will be interesting to see how this competition shakes out over the next school year.
