Under California Personal Injury Laws pain and suffering are regarded too as NON-ECONOMIC damages.? Such losses included the physical and emotion pain and suffering a victim must bear as a result of the negligent or intentional actions of a defendant.? Pain and suffering can be shown through the amount of pain medication you must take, emotional distress such as Post Traumatic Stress, anxiety, nervousness, and depression and expert witness testimony showing duration and severity of your injuries.
How much is my Pain and Suffering Worth ? Calculating the Monetary Value of Pain in Suffering in a Personal Injury Lawsuit
The value of Pain and Suffering in a personal injury matter is something that juries, judges, attorneys, clients, insurances companies and legal scholars have been grappling with for decades.? What is true is that Pain and Suffering account for approximately 50% of the total awards of personal injury settlements.
There can be many theories and justification a court examines to formulate a basis for calculating the value of Pain and Suffering.? The moral justification for awarding pain and suffering in personal injury cases is often based on the dual theories of (1) Providing adequate deterrence for the at fault party so that he may think twice before committing the same negligent act? and (2) The spreading of the losses including pain and suffering from the victim to a larger pool of persons under a defendants insurance.
Calculations for Pain and Suffering by Courts, Judges and Juries in California
There the different mechanism courts have used to value a personal injury pain and suffering claim; two of the most common calculations are as follows.
Per Diem:? ??A per diem basis for calculating pain and suffering is often used by the California Civil Courts in personal injury cases involving Car Accidents, Dog Bites, Slip and Fall Accidents, Construction Site Accidents, and Workplace injuries.? Per Diem states present the jury with a daily calculation of the emotional and physical pain and suffering imposed by the tortfeasor on the injured party.? This calculation involves not only the pain and suffering that has taken place but the pain and suffering that is likely to continue in the weeks, months and years in the future.? Under such calculations permanent disabilities such as scarring, disfigurement, paralysis, and brain damage will be given much greater weight and? are likely to result in greater awards and verdicts by juries.
Value for relief from pain:? ?This is calculated by the amount of money an average individual will want to pay to be relieved from pain and suffering being experienced.? So a jury will have to be presented with an analysis of how much money they are willing to pay to alleviate or eliminate the pain a plaintiff has and is continuing to experience.
Expert Injury Attorneys can Increase your Chances of a larger Settlement for Pain and Suffering
In order to increased the likelihood of a greater monetary recovery for pain and suffering victims of personal injury must find and hire expert Personal Injury Legal representation.? An experienced Personal Injury attorney will be able to greatly increase the value of your Pain and Suffering claim via presenting to the court expert testimony, evidence, documents, and witnesses that show the magnitude of the suffering you have experienced and a monetary settlement adequate enough to fully compensate for your losses.
If you have any further questions regarding pain and suffering or any other personal injury matter call our offices and speak with one of our California Attorneys. All consultations are free of charge. (855-385-2529)
Moroccan government officials pledged their allegiance to King Mohammed VI on Tuesday, bowing down before the monarch at an annual "celebration of loyalty" that activists have criticised as "backward."
Cloaked in a golden robe the king, who has been on the throne for 13 years, paraded around the palace grounds on horseback, shaded by a large parasol, for the ceremony known as "Celebration of loyalty and allegiance."
His brother and his cousin accompanied him as he rode past senior government officials and representatives from 16 regions and 40 provinces, who bowed and chanted: "May God protect our king," state television showed.
Activists have denounced the ceremony, which some say reflects an "ignorance and backwardness" in Morocco that is inappropriate for the 21st century, and are organising a protest outside parliament on Wednesday to voice their opposition.
The protest has been dubbed a "Celebration of loyalty to freedom and dignity" in an ironic swipe at the royal event, and more than 1,300 people are expected to attend, according to the protest group's Facebook page.
Hamza Hafouz, a member of the protest group, told AFP last week: "We've had enough of these practices, which undermine dignity."
"We want to see the country take real steps towards modernity by breaking with these kinds of practices," he added.
The traditional royal ceremony, which is less elaborate than it used to be, first took place in 1934, during the colonial period, as a protest against Morocco's French colonial masters.
Despite higher levels of press freedom than in some Arab countries, open criticism of the Moroccan king, who is officially referred to as the Commander of the Faithful, is rare.
Yea, make our own planet. Simple! This got modded 5 Insightful?
The Mormon Moderation Front?
Seriously, I can't think of anyone else who believe that humans will create planets. No, this is not flamebait or trolling - it really is the only ones I can think of that might see this as a possibility, although not while still human.
And if there really are someone delusional enough here to think that we could create our own planet while being mortal humans, you really need to think about the scale here. It's not just huge, it's immense. We only scratch the surface of this planet. If we found Mount Everest sized rocks (~3x10^15 kg) in a solar system, we would need around 2 000 000 000, that is 2 milliard (or billion for those who use the short system) of them to create a planet with Earth's mass (~6x10^24 kg). Imagine the power and time needed to move one Mount Everest. Each Chomalungma sized rock is about 28 milliard (or billion in the short sytem) times the weight of the space shuttle.
And we're not just talking scale here. Think about how you would adjust the orbital speed of the mass you assemble so it would stay in orbit as you add to it. Or how to cool it down from all that kinetic energy -- how long did it take Earth to cool down? Or how to survive the flares of Barnard's Star?
Niven and Lucas make great space operas. But we have to admit to some limitations. Come back in a few million years, and whatever species have descended from us may have a different opinion. But us? No, we have no chance.
MOSCOW -- The website of a Moscow court that convicted three members of punk band Pussy Riot to two years in jail each for belting out a profanity-laced anti-Kremlin song inside a cathedral was hacked on Tuesday.
A slogan denouncing President Vladimir Putin was posted on the site as was an appeal for the trio's release along with a video clip of one of the band's latest anti-Putin songs and a clip by Bulgarian singer Azis, local media reported.
The hack attack - claimed by AnonymousRussia, which says it is affiliated with hacking activist group Anonymous - comes amid a chorus of criticism of the sentences, which Western governments and singers said were disproportionate and opponents of Putin called part of a crackdown on dissent.
A screenshot posted by opposition activist Ilya Yashin on Twitter showed the court's web page topped by an inscription reading: "Putin's thieving gang is plundering our country! Wake up, comrades!"
Another caption called for the release of the band's jailed members - Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Marina Alyokhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30.
The site of Moscow's Khamovniki district court was operating normally by noon (0800 GMT) but its hacked version was on display for several hours on Tuesday morning.
Darya Lyakh, a spokeswoman for the court, said a department of the Supreme Court had asked federal investigators to look into the hacking attack.
The high-profile trial ended on Friday with two-year sentences for the three women who were convicted of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred.
The judge said they had deliberately offended Russian Orthodox believers by storming the altar of Moscow's main cathedral in February where they had sung a "punk prayer" urging the Virgin Mary to rid Russia of Putin.
The women said their aim had been to criticize close ties between the state and the dominant Russian Orthodox Church, whose leader offered support to Putin in the run-up to his reelection to the presidency in March after four years as prime minister.
The United States and the European Union called the sentences disproportionate and Washington has urged Russian authorities to "review" the case.
Human rights groups and musicians including Madonna and Paul McCartney have also criticized the trial, but opinion polls indicate few Russians sympathies with Pussy Riot and support from local musicians has been muted.
On Monday, Russia police said they were searching for other members of Pussy Riot and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov dismissed Western criticism of the sentences, saying people should not "go into hysterics" about the case.

When marketing online this refers to advertising of services through the Internet. It can be difficult to know where to start, but it needn?t be daunting. Keep reading for some great advice.
The formatting of your website?s text plays an important role in its attractiveness and success. Use different font types to increase the effectiveness of different words. This helps convey the message to the customer exactly the way you want, providing extra emphasis and clarity where necessary.
To be successful at marketing online, you need to maximize your website?s potential. There are many things you can do such as, changing up the color schemes and fonts, and just designing it in different ways that make the products stand out much better. Naturally, visitors stay longer on websites that they find attractive, interesting and useful.
TIP! Projects that aren?t working right should not be given up on. Something that didn?t catch on well before may work better now.
Internet Marketing
There are internet marketing services that can be of assistance in internet marketing, but do try to learn the basics on your own. It is fairly easy to learn how to use auto responders, mass mailers and to build an email list. All of the experience you acquire will help you out as well.
One great way to make the most of Internet marketing is to pay attention to image searches. Adding images that are relevant to your particular website may result in increasing interest for your content due to the exposure your website will get besides searches from text alone. It is common for someone to come to your site while searching for information, and stay because their interest was piqued. This will make people familiar with your company and they may just keep coming back!
TIP! Place a banner within your site that contains your logo or mission statement. This helps to make the web site more professional and communicate your intentions to your visitors.
To produce your sales, real-time leads are a necessity. They provide instant access to potential customers who want to learn more about your products or services. You will have a chance to contact this potential customer in a matter of just milliseconds after they have submitted some information. This may ultimately lead to a successful transaction between you and your new customer.
Advertise your company on popular websites online. Having your brand recognized can be a powerful way to increase your business success. Look for pages that receive lots of traffic each day, which introduces your business to large numbers of potential customers.
If you want to be successful at Internet marketing, you need to be listed on Google. Thousands upon thousands of people search on Google every single day so it is important that you know whenever someone is searching for something that your business provides. Google has a wide range of directories and listing options. Use them to your advantage.
TIP! A CRM?or customer relationship management?database can really boost your online marketing efforts. It can help you see past successes and guide you in the ways that your business and marketing strategies should be going.
As part of your internet marketing strategy, you should include some type of money back guarantee. This will result in your customers feeling more secure and give you and your business credibility. When you accept responsibility for products or services that may not work out for a customer, they are more interested in giving you their business.
Your website?s tag provides a perfect opportunity to establish and shape your identity. A big thing that influences the way people see your website is the tagline at the top of the browser window. Poorly written website tags don?t convey the message that you need to send to draw and keep the reader?s attention.
Internet Marketing
TIP! Before considering search engine rankings or things of that nature, you must build a website that people will want to visit. This is a great first step for those new to running a web business.
There is no exact formula to internet marking, rather it is half art and half science. Before using Internet marketing, know both sides of it. Use your creativity to build effective Internet marketing techniques for your particular type of business.
Reward frequent users of your site, as well as frequent buyers. Make sure that you keep your current customers, as they will provide a lot of value over time. This is they type of business practice that will drum up chatter about you.
Almost any product or service advertisement can benefit from descriptive words and phrases that promise instant or near-instant gratification. Put emphasis on speedy ordering, fast shipping and how soon the customer will notice results from their item or service. This may entail features like faster download speed, quick and easy checkouts, or timely order confirmations.
TIP! To grab the right domain name, you should be willing to spend some money. You may not find the exact domain name you are looking for.
To be successful as an Internet marketer, you must be positive about your business and show plenty of enthusiasm. Demonstrate to prospective clients how much you personally enjoy the products you sell, and prove that you value your business. If you are believable, you will get them as excited as you are. You will get more transactions and money!
Internet marketing often involves the competition. Find out what methods they are using, which elements are helpful to their business and which are having negative consequences. You can gather a tremendous amount of information from other people in your industry. This can help your business more forward and not repeat any mistakes that others have made.
Now that you?ve learned a little more about marketing your business online, you should be able to formulate a plan. You can successfully market your products online by following the advice outlined here
TIP! If you really want to give your customers something fun and interactive, try adding a forum or chat room to your site. This will give your website a friendlier feel as opposed to a place where they must send an email and wait for a reply.

Antibiotic use in infants before 6 months associated with being overweight in childhoodPublic release date: 21-Aug-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

New York City (August 21, 2012) Treating very young infants with antibiotics may predispose them to being overweight in childhood, according to a study of more than 10,000 children by researchers at the NYU School of Medicine and the NYU Wagner School of Public Service and published in the online August 21, 2012, issue of the International Journal of Obesity.
The study found that on average, children exposed to antibiotics from birth to 5 months of age weighed more for their height than children who weren't exposed. Between the ages of 10 to 20 months, this translated into small increases in body mass percentile, based on models that incorporated the potential impacts of diet, physical activity, and parental obesity. By 38 months of age, exposed children had a 22% greater likelihood of being overweight. However, the timing of exposure mattered: children exposed from 6 months to 14 months did not have significantly higher body mass than children who did not receive antibiotics in that same time period.
The NYU School of Medicine researchers, led by Leonardo Trasande, MD, MPP, associate professor of pediatrics and environmental medicine, and Jan Blustein, MD, PhD, professor of population health and medicine, caution that the study does not prove that antibiotics in early life causes young children to be overweight. It only shows that a correlation exists. Further studies will need to be conducted to explore the issue of a direct causal link.
"We typically consider obesity an epidemic grounded in unhealthy diet and exercise, yet increasingly studies suggest it's more complicated," said Dr. Trasande. "Microbes in our intestines may play critical roles in how we absorb calories, and exposure to antibiotics, especially early in life, may kill off healthy bacteria that influence how we absorb nutrients into our bodies, and would otherwise keep us lean."
In recent years there has been a growing concern about the overuse of antibiotics, especially in children. Preliminary studies of the microbiome, the trillions of microbial cells inhabiting our bodies and outnumber our own cells 10 to 1, implicate obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, and other conditions with changes in the microbiome. It is still a field in its infancy, however, and no one has yet proved that altering the composition of bacteria in the body leads to disease.
This is the first time that a study has analyzed the association between the use of antibiotics and body mass starting in infancy. One previous study had identified a link between antibiotic use in early infancy and obesity at seven years of age, but was unable to examine potential impacts of antibiotic use later in infancy on body weight in childhood.
The NYU School of Medicine researchers evaluated the use of antibiotics among 11,532 children born in Avon, United Kingdom, during 1991 and 1992. The children are part of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), a long-term study that provides detailed data on the health and development of these children.
The NYU School of Medicine researchers analyzed health information on these children during three periods: from birth to 5 months of age; 6 months to 14 months; and, finally from 15 to 23 months. They also examined body mass or weight at five different points of time6 weeks, 10 months, 20 months, 38 months, and 7 years of age.
Antibiotic use only appeared to have an effect in very young infants (those given antibiotics from birth to 5 months of age.) Although children exposed to antibiotics at 15 to 23 months had somewhat greater BMI (Body Mass Indices) for their age and gender by the age of 7, there was no significant increase in their being overweight or obese.
"For many years now, farmers have known that antibiotics are great at producing heavier cows for market," said Dr. Blustein. "While we need more research to confirm our findings, this carefully conducted study suggests that antibiotics influence weight gain in humans, and especially children too."
In addition to Dr. Trasande, who is also associate professor of health policy, NYU Wagner School of Public Service, and Dr. Blustein, who is also a professor of health policy at the NYU Wagner School of Public Service, the authors of the study are: Mengling Liu, PhD, associate professor of environmental medicine, NYU School of Medicine; Elise Corwin, BA, NYU Wagner School of Public Service; Laura M. Cox, BA, Department of Microbiology, NYU School of Medicine; Martin J. Blaser, MD, the Frederick H. King Professor of Internal Medicine and chair Department of Medicine, and professor of microbiology, NYU School of Medicine.

My grandmother stopped by today for a short visit. My ten year old son came in the door as we were sitting down at the kitchen table for a cup of coffee. My son came into the room and gave his great-grandmother a big hug. She asked him where his book bag was and if he had a lot of homework to do tonight. My son said that they do not have regular books anymore because they are downloadable textbooks. He then brought up his online textbooks on his laptop computer to show her how it all works.

?NEW YORK --?It's not just in your head. Mondays really are the worst.?
Monday is the only day the stock market is more likely to fall than to rise. The Dow Jones industrial average has been down 10 of the past 11 Mondays. And the two worst days in market history are both known as Black Monday.?
There's no single reason why Mondays are so blue. Then again, there's no single reason the market rises or falls on any given day, driven as it is by the whims of traders placing millions of individual buy and sell orders.?
Some anecdotal evidence comes to mind: Companies are prone to release bad news on Friday nights, when fewer people are paying attention. Monday is the first day investors can react.?
And when companies collapse, they often do it late Sunday or early Monday, after spending a last weekend trying to stay afloat. See Wachovia, Bear Stearns and, most famously, Lehman Brothers investment bank, on Sept. 15, 2008.?
Maybe people are just?grumpier. They are at least more anxious: The so-called Vix, a gauge of investor fear, tends to go up on Mondays, notes Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist for Schaeffer's Investment Research in Cincinnati.?
The?Vix?has?risen?on?two-thirds of this year's?Mondays. On Tuesdays, the second-most-anxious day, the?Vix?was?up just 58 percent of the time.?
Or maybe it's a fluke ? another pattern people latch on to to make the market seem more understandable, same as the stories that hemlines go up in bull markets, or that stocks rise if a team from the NFC wins the Super Bowl.?
Burton Malkiel wrote about those last two theories in his finance classic, "A Random Walk Down Wall Street." He stuck them in a section called "A Gaggle of Other Technical Theories to Help You Lose Money."?
He found the "blue?Monday" phenomenon equally underwhelming. "Far from dependable," he says, and "most likely due to chance."?
Still, there is a pattern.?
Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst for S&P Dow Jones Indices, crunched numbers for the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index back to 1928 and found that melancholy Mondays are a long tradition.?
Over the past 84 years, the S&P has declined on 52 percent of the Mondays, Silverblatt says. Same goes for the Dow, going back to 1900. On each of the other four days, the market is more likely to rise than fall.?
The S&P averages a decline of 0.12 percent on Mondays over history. On each of the other four days, the market averages?a gain. (The best is Wednesday, averaging an increase of 0.08 percent.)?
This year follows the pattern: For both the S&P and the Dow, Monday is the only day to average a loss.?
Notably horrible was Monday, June 11, when the Dow fell 142 points because of worries about Spanish debt. Almost as bad were June 25, also capsized by worries about Spain, and April 9, after an anemic jobs report.?
"Maybe over the weekend, that's when reality sets in," says Tim McCandless,?senior stock analyst?at Bel Air Investment Advisors in Los Angeles.?
Three of the five worst days in the history of the S&P 500 were Mondays, including two days known as Black Monday: Oct. 19, 1987, when stocks plunged more than 20 percent, and Oct. 28, 1929, which helped set off the Great Depression.?
So pity the poor Monday. Even pop culture is stacked against it. The Mamas & the Papas sang that every other day of the week is fine. Nobody names a restaurant T.G.I. Monday's. The Titanic sank on a Monday, for crying out loud.?
It wasn't always like this, with Mondays representing the dreaded beginning of the workweek in Western countries. Monday probably got its bad name when the Roman emperor Constantine invented the weekend, as David Ewing Duncan, author of a book on the history of the calendar, is fond of saying.?
Constantine made Sunday a rest day, an attempt to please both sun-worshippers, who were already observing it, Duncan says, and Christians, who Constantine knew could be persuaded because they believed in the resurrection of Christ on a Sunday.?
So Monday, named for the moon, became the day for going back to work.?
Which, in some ways, is only fitting.?
"There's always been some mystery around the moon," Duncan says. "Much like how the stock market works on Mondays."CNBC's

A documentary about the work of the Rev. Alejandro Solalinde on behalf of Central American migrants making the journey through Mexico discusses the extortion rackets, murders, mass kidnappings and massacres that those looking to reach the United States are sujected to.
"Over five years, he has saved many people from the traffickers of lives who operate in the areas around the train that the Central Americans use on their trip to the United States," Alejandra Islas, who directed "El Albergue" (The Shelter), told Efe.
The documentary, which was made with the support of Amnesty International's Mexico chapter, gives viewers a window into the work of Solalinde, who founded and runs the Hermanos en el Camino shelter, as well as telling the "microstories" of migrants aided by the shelter, which provides a roof, food and "spiritual relief," Islas said.
"Solalinde has put his life in danger to defend them," Islas said, adding that the Catholic priest has received death threats and warnings to leave the shelter in Ixtepec, a city in the southern state of Oaxaca.
About 200 migrants arrive each day at the shelter in search of food and a place for the night, Islas said.
In May, the priest took the advice of Mexican and foreign groups and left the country for several weeks after saying that the threats were "not just from organized crime, but also from authorities and corrupt police officers."
Islas, who spent time with Solalinde and the migrants at several points in the past few years, said the situation was "truly dramatic" at the shelter.
The situation, however, is not unique to Ixtepec since dozens of cities in Mexico are also transit points for migrants, the filmmaker said.
"El Albergue" made its debut at the Guadalajara International Film Festival in the Mexican documentary category.
The film was screened Friday night at the University Center in Tlatelolco amid great expectations and will be shown at the Federal District Human Rights Festival.
The most important goal of the film is "to sensitize the population, Mexicans, in all the places where the migrants pass, to the hardships they endure and give them a voice," Islas said.
The situation of migrants in Mexico "is critical," with National Human Rights Commission, or CNDH, figures showing that 11,333 migrants were kidnapped in Mexico over a six-month span, Amnesty International Mexico director Alberto Herrera said.
The migrant issue has been "ignored historically" and "never makes the front pages of the national newspapers," Herrera told Efe.
The issue "rarely appeared on the country's public agenda," but this is changing, Herrera said.
To "speak (now) of human rights in the country without touching on the migration issue is to start an incomplete discussion," Herrera said.
"Six of every 10 women have suffered some type of sexual abuse" in southern Mexico when the migrant journey to the United States is only one-fifth of the way done, Herrera said, citing Amnesty International studies.
"Many of them arrive at the shelters asking for contraceptive injections because they see it as a given that they will be raped on the road to the United States. Extortion, murders, mass kidnappings and massacres have been the story of migration in the past few years," Herrera said.
"The extremely negligent behavior of authorities" is behind the violations of migrants' rights, with officials allowing "the meting out of justice with practically null results," the Amnesty International representative said.
"This is an extremely serious situation because in the end impunity is not a circumstantial political matter but a political message that is sent to society, that is, it is very cheap to assault a migrant, kidnap him, murder him in this country, I would almost say that it is free," Herrera said.
Solalinde to a great extent has done "the work of the authorities," registering the abuses committed against migrants and keeping the figures in his notebooks, as well as going to the safe houses where kidnapping victims are kept to rescue them, Herrera said.
"His life is in danger not just because he feeds the migrants but because he has gone into the darkest and most impenetrable bowels of organized crime and in those bowels is where he has touched extremely powerful interests," the Amnesty International representative said. EFE
Don't you absolutely detest it when your roof hides something you're not aware of? But since roof coverings cannot speak, it's your responsibility to locate any type of complications that could get worse later without the correct maintenance.
While it might sound like it's easier said than done, it's not impossible to discover hidden damages to the roof covering. When gale-force winds or strong hailstorms send flying particles and solid chunks of ice your way, anticipate the roof covering to suffer damage. Finding the damaged spots as soon as possible and repairing them assists protect against even much worse fissures in the future. Here are a few of the things about your roof covering to watch out for:
You're making use of shingles
For all their acceptability to one's spending plan, shingles are an American house's best friend in roofing. The only complication is that, if not installed correctly, shingles can serve as entrances for moisture and no one's the wiser for it. Examine for danger signs of moisture build up: green, gummy spots, fungis development, rot, and looseness. If your shingles are somewhat old, examine them often, and specifically after a brutal storm.
You caught a noisy bang in your roof covering during a storm
If you hear a loud crash in the roof while a storm is happening, it could mean your roof covering just then got struck by something. Even if it seems undamaged at first look, never ever forego an in-depth evaluation. Contact the roofers Tacoma WA homeowners enlist at the very first possibility you get when the weather has actually cleared. Gale-force winds like to hurl hefty objects throughout the community, especially tear up trees.
It rained hailstones
Hailstorms should be just one of your main issues when fearing for the condition of your Tacoma roof. Hailstones vary in size, regular size being as huge as golf balls, however with the weather being too unpredictable, it could create a seven-inch chunk of ice. At first, it could look as if the roof covering has survived the hailstorm. However you may never ever be too certain until you take a more detailed look.
If any of these circumstances were caused, conduct a complete assessment of the roof right away. It's best if you have Tacoma roofing contractors tackle it for a better analyzed damage assessment. For even more information on concealed loss to your roof, read the post at nbc4i. com.

London 2012 Olympic medal-winning brothers Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee have revealed they both received letters from an 89-year-old pensioner following their successes ? including a ?10 note for each of them. Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee won gold and bronze respectively at London 2012 (Picture: PA) The triathletes, who won gold and bronze respectively at their home Games, were received by a crowd of tens of thousands of fans when they returned home to Leeds earlier in the week. But the brothers said the letters have touched them the most. ?He wrote that he had watched us and that it was one of the best things he had seen in his life,? Alistair said. ?He also included a tenner for both of us and said that he wasn?t putting his name or address on it so that we couldn?t send it back! ?I don?t know what I?m going to do with it yet. I?ve been so busy with media and everything else since that I haven?t had a chance to do anything with it. ?I?ve had the letter in one pocket and my gold medal in the other.? Alistair Brownlee took triathlon gold ahead of Spain?s Gomez, but a 15second penalty put paid to Jonny?s silver hopes (Picture: Getty) Fans have celebrated the Brownlees? success in different ways, with one of their neighbours in Leeds ? Peter Moran ? painting the postbox outside his house gold in their honour, before Royal Mail quickly returned it to traditional red. But Alistair and Jonny won?t have long to take in their Olympic achievements, with Jonny competing in Stockholm next week and Alistair flying to America for a triathlon next month. ?It?s been pretty hectic since [the Olympics]. We?ve only had a brief chance to see our parents,? Alistair added. ?I?ve started training again and initially it is quite easy because you get back into a bit of normality.? Alistair and Jonny Brownlee wasted no time getting back to training (Picture: Getty) The brothers had even returned to training before the Olympics had finished. Last Sunday, as the Games were coming to an end and preparing for the closing ceremony, BBC presenter Mark Chapman tweeted: ?Want to know what makes a medallist? ?In the sun, on a party day, the Brownlee brothers have just gone past me on a training run.?

Remember the Playstation Suite for Android devices? Remember how much it promised, only to deliver clunky ports of Crash Bandicoot and Ridge Racer? According to Sony, things are about to change, and its move into mobile gaming is about to get very serious indeed.
Sony has begun outlining plans what it?s now calling ?Playstation Mobile? ? the evolution of the Playstation Suite which will soon be available on Sony-certified Android devices, alongside Asus tablets, the upcoming WikiPad and the PS Vita.
Five PS games we need on our mobiles
The platform will be open to major developers as well as indie, bedroom types, and allow users to sign in, buy a game once and then download it to all their devices ? much the same as with games on the iOS App Store and Google Play.
Those vestibules are exactly what Sony?s looking to target, and with the might of some of the world?s biggest game developers on its side, it could well do just that.
Playstation Mobile will launch in earnest this Autumn.
