SAN FRANCISCO — U.S. Internet-advertising revenue fell 5.3 percent in the first half of 2009 compared with the like period last year, as marketers continued to rein in spending thanks to the downturn, according to a study published Monday.

The Interactive Advertising Bureau and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP study reported that despite the overall decline in Internet advertising to $10.9 billion in the first half of the year, online search-advertising revenue actually rose slightly to $5.1 billion.

For the second time in as many years, developer Visceral Games has attempted to conform a genre to the needs of its fictional vision rather than
the other way around. And for the second time in two years, it pretty well knocks it out of the park.

Part of that has to do with what "Dead Space Extraction" is in relation to "Dead Space," the thoroughly polished third-person horror shooter that was among the class of the Xbox 360 and PS3 last year. "Extraction" isn't a port of that game, but instead a brand-new chapter in the fiction that details the run-up to the devastation that sets the stage of the first game.

George Westinghouse, Jr (October 6, 1846–March 12, 1914) was an American entrepreneur and engineer who invented the railway air brake and was a pioneer of the electrical industry. Westinghouse was one of Thomas Edison's main rivals in the early implementation of the American electricity system. Westinghouse's system using alternating current ultimately prevailed over Edison's insistence on direct current. In 1911, he received the AIEE's Edison Medal 'For meritorious achievement in connection with the development of the alternating current system light.
