Reggie on CNN talking about the Wii U.
The line of the title starts from 2:34
But it doesn't. That false advertisement Reggie.
Reggie, I always thought you were a cool guy, but lying to consumers and making false claims to try and sell the Wii U is despicable. He has now lost all credibility
Console gamers.. dont care about graphics.
Check Wii sales for proof.
Woo WOO WOo did she just conferm next gen console's for sony and microsoft to be released next year?
I would say that comes off as...
*puts on sun glasses*
... dramatically desperate.
typical msm reporters, trading their credibility for a quick buck; sell outs...
I agree. I don't mind them spinning the truth a little (that is marketing 101) but to out right lie and claim something that just isn't true is not on.
Console gamers...do care about graphics.
Check PS3 and Xbox 360 sales for proof.
...See what I did there.
I like my Wii U, but Reggie is such a used car salesman, PR man and injury lawyer all rolled into one. If he was homeless he'd tell you he needs $20 to get home to his 5-year-old daughter's funeral (note: I work for a charitable org and this happens from drug users all the time).
The Wii U is comparable on its multiplatform titles, which is a good thing, but it has not proven itself to be "dramatically better". Even more BS, Reggie said in an E3 interview with Geoff Keighley that Wii U would have a trophy/achievement system. When asked by Keighley about it he said "We'll have all that".
Like I said, I like my Wii U and the potential of Zelda, Metroid and other Nintendo exclusives on it, but I do not like being lied to. It's not about graphics, it's about telling the truth and ethical behavior by a company. Nintendo needs better, more likable PR people here in the US. I know I will get hammered by some people, but Reggie has lied and skirted every question thrown at him unless the answer was "praise Nintendo".
@Information Minister
why that's preposterous!
*Takes off sunglasses*
... preposterously preposterous!!
That is indeed false advertisement, i like the guy but damn!
Are you kidding? He had no credibility before either, he's a BSing PR guy.
" He has now lost all credibility "
Like MS and Sony never lied.
I'm still waiting for my PS2 game with toy-story like graphics.
Where it at?
Ohh please give Reggie a break!
He is just trying to learn and practice the Microsoft PR style. You know selling lies?
Exclusives ringing Bells? aka time exclusive.
RROD? aka refurbish hardware.
Xbox Live? aka free online.
I hope this will not be the trent for Nintendo. Cause I always have good thoughts about Nintendo back in the days 8bit NES/SNES/N64.
I loving they're products and I will buy Zelda again for HD!
He stuttered when he talked about graphics lololol
Nintnedos:"My weakness !!!It burnsss it burnsss!!!!"
Yeah even videos being put up give the microsoft, and sony fan boys butt hurt because they know that he is telling the truth COD, and AC3 do look better maybe not dramatically better but better he is a business man but ask the fans even ones who own multiple systems say the same just because you are 2 biased to see that not his problem.
And every time someone puts up a video showing how much better the wii u version looks crying, wining galore happens if it was not true then why you all so upset and mocking reg for? I would just blow it off. LOL LOL LOL To that one
Great, another delusional fanboy.
There is a side by side comparison with the WiiU and 360 versions of Black Ops 2.
The WiiU version was proven to be graphically identical to the 360 version but with about 30% LOWER framerates.
The 360 version averages 60fps
The WiiU version averages 42fps
Not only is the WiiU version not better, it is not even equal.
Nintendo was dancing around the Wii U specs issue from day 1 of announcement at E3.
Keighly said "NATIVE 1080p?"
Nintendo execs: "[stutter, stutter] *shuffle, shuffle*"
I'm actually agreeing with you, but have a bit more to add.
Not only is the Wii U version of Black Ops 2 not as good as the 360 version, but it isn't as good as the PS3 version.
Everyone knows the PS3 version of every Call of Duty game is a bad port. Nintendo fanboys have called this and just about every other game that has been ported a bad port, but let me ask you fanboys something. If the PS3 and the Wii U versions of Black Ops 2 are bad ports, and the PS3 version runs considerably better, doesn't that make what all the devs saying how weak the Wii U is seem true?
Can't really argue with that. It's not like the 360 and PS3 have equal versions and the Wii U was the only bad port. It and the PS3 are bad ports but the Wii U version is much worse.
What he should of said is that Black Ops 2 can look dramatically better on our system when developers maximize the power the WiiU has on it.
I still believe spec wise WiiU has potential for better looking games on it than PS3/X360 games when developers tap into it without just porting like what alot of this year's titles for it were.
When a 2012 console MAY have the potential to look SLIGHTLY better than a 2005 and 2006 console, there's a problem.
We're not asking for ultra 4K HD, 64xQ MSAA'd games with DirectX 13, supersampling and ray tracing. But how can games like Arkham City, released over a year ago (and as such, with plenty of time for optimization for the WiiU console) look better on a 7 year old console?
Framerate drops, textures failing to load, no improved resolution, no improved textures, no DX11-like tessalation, no Nvidia-like PhysX... All that's "improved" (lol) are a couple of armored (read: shiny) parts on Batman and Catwoman.
Of course, this criticism applies to most WiiU games, this just being an example. ZombieU looks worse than most modern FPS from a technical stand point and NintendoLand hardly impresses with... ...well, anything. If the system needs more time to mature, well, that's a problem, seeing as how the competition is litteraly just around the corner. And if said competition makes the console look ancient (and as such, the flow of 3rd party games [ie: ports] stops), there will be a sever problem for the users. After all, how many years are you willing to wait (again) for a Zelda game? The Wii didn't get it until it's last year. You willing to wait that long with your WiiU?
Well it's a fact that with the GPGPU being able to take a massive strain from the CPU means that when developers get use to the new architecture of the console they'll be able to make games look and feel a hell of a lot better.
I get that Deku-Johnny. The problem I'm trying to explain is that, if next gen REALLY improved graphically, it'll simply not be viable to port a game to an inferior console.
The need for devs to give the controller screen some use is already something slightly off-putting from a developlment stand point. If you also need to make a 2nd separate version of the game for it to run on the WiiU, after a certain point, it won't pay off. (Think of the Madden games when they were still released for PS2. At the time, PS3 adoption was at an all time low and the games would sell, thus, they kept making them. The second that slim ps3 released [and as such, the mass market adopted the ps3 console], ps2 ports of games stopped) The only person who is affected by this is, you, the consumer.
Yes, no doubt about it, once devs get used to the WiiU archtechture, there WILL be great games. Problem is, as I previously mentioned, time. Most devs (save for 1st party, obviously) will simply not stick around that long and develop games for a console with specific needs. It happened to the Wii (which is why it hardly received 3rd party love) and will (well, could) happen to the WiiU.
Games are developed on PC's. As such, a PC port is hardly ever a problem. From there, some optimization and work is required, but the next step is the ps3 and 360, whose architechture they are familiar with. (look at what happened when the devs WEREN'T familiar with the PS3's CELL. No games, crap ports, dead console [at the time]. Cue PS3 HAS NO GAMES jokes). The PS4 won't go the same route as the PS3's mistakes, they WILL make it easy to develop for. Same goes for 720. But the WiiU? The 2nd screen alone is already a development and bug testing nightmare if you use it for anything more than menus or some basic function, at which point it's nothing more than a gimick.
Accelerometer, touch screen, motion controls, etc. All these things have to be developed and tested, there's no PORT TO Wii/WiiU button. There's a reason why there's no 3rd party games on Wii, why PS Move is dead and why Kinect games all suck. The resources needed to make these things work severly outbalance the payoff. And, I don't know about you, I'd rather have that attention, manpower and time put into polishing the games, bug testing and optimization than into some gimick a company is paying extra for.
It could also look a lot better on the PS3 but never will. The developer is too lazy or being paid to make the PS3 version look the same as the 360 version. Actually, I think they're paid to make the 360 version better.
None of the next gen consoles won't be able to run Nvidia Physx, they won't be a huge improvement over the Wii U, only fanboys are saying that. They will be better, yes, but unless sony's and microsoft's consoles get released in 2014 or have a 500+$ price tag, you won't see an improvement as big as you think.
But I'm certain the new consoles will have at least 1080p and MAYBE some DX11 effects like tesselation. But if you use an effect like HBAO it will make consoles crawl.
Not really, they could improve the framerate though, but I don't actually think they test it out since both consoles got framerate problems.
I've seen games on the wiiu and everything looks more vibrant and frame rates are way better.
When a 2012 console more often than not doesn't look better than an 05/06 console, there's a huge fucking problem.
Reggie is a nintendo fanboy. no surprise.
Lets see how ninty fanboys will use their loyalty to spin this one.
I wish he said "dramatically better than the highest $200 - $4000 pc" Would have been funny.
"Well it's a fact that with the GPGPU being able to take a massive strain from the CPU means that when developers get use to the new architecture of the console they'll be able to make games look and feel a hell of a lot better."
Also that will take away for the gpu doing it main purpose.. graphics..
Trade offs are a bitch.
This can be avoided with a good cpu.
Reggie works for nintendo he'is not a fanboy it's his job. Though saying that 3rd party games look drastically better on wii U is a stretch. All the 3rd party look pretty much the same some slightly worse. The wii u version of Black OPs 2 even had worse frame rate than the ps3 version.
if you dont have a wii u, on what basis are you runnin your mouth
@everyone above and a select few below
What did you expect him to say? "Yeah, the graphics on WiiU, at best, match those of the cheaper Xbox 360. Our platform has framerate drops too, but hey, whatcha gonna do?"
He's trying to sell the damn console. Why would he say it's worse than the 360? Good grief!
Talk about overreacting...
He could say they look the same as developers haven't yet reached consoles potential (if there is any) but he doesn't need to lie!!!!!
No excuses for that kind of **** he's trying to sell us as the test can easily be found on youtube.
I thought he's a cool guy.
Sell the system on something other than Graphics, as simple as that. It's what they did with the Wii, so I don't understand why he pushes such a blatant lie into this interview.
I completelly agree about the route he should had took if he has an agenda to follow (it's his job) but don't want to lie. That said, I can see why Ninty would order him to specifically taunt graphics...
The moment the competition reached some fighting chance price and motion controls were no longer on trending topics between soccer moms, Wii was doomed, anyone who would walk into a store and no longer be impressed by the Wiimote would just look at what was being shown at the screen... Right next to either a PS3 or 360... It didn't looked good for 'em and hence Wii simply took a nose dive in sales in the last years.
Right now they must be trying to make the costumer aware that their new games will look good, but indeed, he should had gone with "just as good and it will improve in the future" instead of out right lie with "dramatically better".
He could have just said that the game looks great on the Wii U. Claiming that it looks "dramatically better" is an outright lie and false advertising. There's no excuse or justification for that. Not only do they NOT look better, many of them perform MUCH worse. I know he's trying to sell the console, that's his job, but there are right ways to do that and wrong ways. This was one of the wrong ways. Lying to your customers and potential customers is never a good way to gain their trust and confidence.
ahaha this guy should apply for a job at sony since hes so good a over-hyping and lying about his consoles graphical capabilities.
Sony doesn't lie or overhype their consoles. The PS3 is proof of that. Sony's games all look great. Third party developers are the problem. Nintendo now has that problem. They want all games to be the same no matter how much more powerful one console is over another.
Dramatically better. LOL, Reggie who you tryin to fool.
lmfao he straight up meant the ps3 and 360. aw man this guy is hilarious. nvm everything i was saying you can't spin that hahaha
wow dramatically , nice lie reggie ,now i know hes full of it , he can try to lie to thewii owners or casual gamers but he cant lie to the hadcore.
rabel!rabel!rabel!rabel!rabel! rabel!
"my console better" "no my consoles better" blah blah blah... fan boys
while he is lying what do you expect him to say? his job is to sell the product so he is doing what any high up will do in a national interview
This is a very odd fib. Baring in mind that the only people that are going to be hoodwinked by such a move are those who know nothing about consoles, and also taking into consideration that anyone who is 'interested' in graphics will be too savvy to buy this prevarication, just who exactly is Reggie trying to fool here? The tech heads are going to react exactly the same as 90% of the people in this thread and the casuals are simply not going to care... I have to say that this does sound a tad desperate. This is about promoting COD for the Wiiu, not about being honest. Something tells me 3rd party devs are getting cold feet and Nintendo are worried.
does it matter if the statement is true or false? in less then 12 months the wii u will be competing against a whole new generation of consoles by Microsoft and Sony. then lets see Reggie make that claim.
why is he even comparing the wii u to 7 year old consoles?
WOW! i've never seen a guy lie and not even wince and break eye contact! seriously, wow!! i'm genuinely shocked!
Reality check, CNN always lies or twists reality to the viewer.
This just further proves how CNN is merely a marketing tool ontop of it.
CNN did not say anything. In fact they asked questions about Nintendo being behind when PS4 And 720 come out. It was Reggie who did most of the talking. God help you if you watch Fox news...LMAO
then go back and play your Atari 2600 and get out of this / next gen's console.
Nice to see you're all catching on. This guy is a tool and a douche.
I'm not buying anything nintendo until this guy is gone.
I got burned by the Wii. I will not fall for current gen technology passed off as new gen.
The games will look dramatically different when the next generation ps4 and xbox 720 releases next year.
I was enraged by his lies. The fact that he said CoD was dramatically superior to current gen consoles is a big fat lie. Then he said Netflix on the Wii was also the best. Are you kidding me? I think MS has something say when it comes to online just as Sony has something to say when it comes to graphics. Seriously, Nintendo has now caught up to current gen when Sony and MS are going next gen. The development kits have already been released to developers for next gen and seeing what MGS:GS and Last of Us look like now, I am sure the Wii-U can't compare. I would love to see if Wii-U could handle God of War
"Dramatically better"
[citation needed]
WOW, I like Reggie, and LOVE Nintendo, but this was just false. In fact BOPS3 looks better on Wii U than PS3, but not quite as good as 360. Assassins creed 360 is sharper than Wii U. To me the Wii U Assassins looks washed out compared to 360. It still looks good, but I am just saying. Reggie, Reggie, Reggie.
Please try to rephrase your comment and try again.
I have the games they look better on wii u nice way to try to convince people you are fair "LOL" Right! Xbox fan.
Apparently, they don't. Poorer framerate in black Ops 2, textures that don't load in Arkham City.
When the games DO look better, they don't look much better, which is the problem.
How is that the consoles fault?
It's the developers just smashing code in there without knowing the console to the fullest.
You mention two things the developers didn't care to look into. This is not Nintendos fault.
Why are you expecting ports to look better?
I am fair. Nintendo is my choice for a console, but plain and simple most of these ports DO NOT look better on Wii U. Its a plain and simple fact. All you have to do is view the Video comparison of all three and you will see that I am right. Frankly I don't care that they don't look better. I would rather have the Gamepad to play on. I am NOT an Xbox fan LOL that was the funniest part of your comment. I play PS3 and Wii/Wii U. I frankly think xbox fans are PC gamer wannabes.
Dat dishonesty, Not surprising in the least.
Roll on the 30th, thx for the confirmation reggie but i already know.

n my last blog post, I shared the best two piece tops out there for small busts to full busts. From bra styles with underwire support, to push up triangle tops and tankinis – there are a lot of options outside of the standard one piece swimsuit. Now it's time to focus on the bottoms! Trust me, there are more options for you, darling, than the basic bikini bottom (NOT that there's anything wrong with that!) Take a gander at a few of the most flattering swimwear bottom options below.
Classic brief: The most common two piece swimsuit bottom option is the classic brief. The coverage options vary from low rise to high rise, with the most common among Linda's customers being mid rise.
Fold over brief: A favorite in the Linda's shop in NYC, this style allows you to adjust the band around the hips and midsection for the perfect amount of custom coverage.
Skirted brief bottom: One of our newest favorites at Linda's, the skirted brief is fabulous! This is NOT your Grandma's skirted bikini bottom. The multitude of options include short little flounces, adjustable lengths and sleek & chic styles. This style is great for those who want coverage on the bottom and still want to wear a bikini or tankini top. Also awesome for those who go to resorts and want the convenience of a built-in-coverup for going back and forth to the poolside bar or boardwalk.
Boyshort bottoms: These sporty little numbers are great for those who want a little more coverage on the hips, but don't want to wear a full skirt. They're especially great for those who are very active in the water or on the beach. Because of the fuller back, they tend to stay in place.
Side tie bottoms: Side ties are great for adjusting the bottom to fit your unique curves. They are also great for showing off a little more skin without having to wear a Brazillian or thong back bottom. If you've got it, flaunt it!
Side detailed bottom: From golden rings to braided strands, adding a little detail to the hip area is a fashionable way to stand out at the beach. Why not add in a little sass to your bathing suit? Another favorite side detail is the shirred side band. This flattering look offers a wider band (less digging in!) and more security.
What kind of bathing suit bottoms do you prefer to wear? Have you ever tried one of the styles above? Shop all of these styles (and more!) at LindasOnline.com or come visit us at the Linda's shop in NYC.

I have been grousing to myself after the child of a friend never thanked me.
I had referred the young woman—a recent college graduate excited about the world of special events—to an incredible entry-level event position at a gilt-edged financial services firm. The position was not being advertised; I learned of it from a friend at the firm who asked me for candidates. It sounded nothing like the first job I had out of college, which consisted of making minimum wage ringing up sales in a clothing store and being yelled at by crabby customers.
After I gave the new grad all the contact information, I kept waiting to hear back from her … and waiting …. and waiting …
Finally after a month, the new grad emailed me to ask why she hadn't gotten the job. No thanks, no "what could I do better next time," no nothing.
I asked myself, how could anyone who wants to produce events—which make guests feel valued—forget to say thank-you?
Just when I began to decide my old-fashioned idea of manners must qualify me for a warm shawl and an ear trumpet, I received a thank-you note from the babysitter my husband and I had hired for the first time two days before.
Yes, the high-schooler babysitter.
Not only did she tell me that my children were delightful, but she offered to lower her rates a bit so my husband and I could go out more often.
Guess who is getting hired?

Milone tries to get A's off schneid against Mariners
The Oakland Athletics were the surprise of the baseball world a year ago. Lefty Tommy Milone was a big reason why. Milone starts his 2013 campaign on Wednesday when the A's continue their four-game series with the Seattle Mariners at O.co Coliseum.
As a rookie last year, Milone led the A's in innings pitched (190) and compiled 13 wins in the process, spanning 31 starts. He also walked just 36 batters for an average of 1.71 per nine innings, the second-lowest mark in the AL.
Acquired from Washington in the deal for Gio Gonzalez, Milone has faced the Mariners five times and is 2-1 with a 2.64 ERA.
Milone will be trying to slow down a Seattle team that has won the first two games of this series. After Felix Hernandez shut down the A's in the opener, the Mariners' bats came to life on Tuesday, as Michael Morse belted two home runs and Kyle Seager finished 3-for-3 in a 7-1 win.
"We put up some tough ABs tonight. When you do that, good things will happen," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said.
Hisashi Iwakuma (1-0) went six innings for Seattle, yielding just one run and two hits while striking out seven.
Yoenis Cespedes homered in the loss for Oakland, while Jarrod Parker absorbed the loss, allowing four earned runs and five hits over five innings. He also walked three hitters and struck one just one.
"I never really settled in, didn't really get comfortable," Parker said "You're not going to be very successful when that happens."
Oakland, which has managed just one run through two games, hasn't started a season 0-3 since 1996.
Getting the call for Seattle on Wednesday will be lefty Joe Saunders, who will be making his Mariners debut. Saunders struggled this spring, posting an 11.25 ERA in 11 2/3 spring innings.
"It's nice to get out of Spring Training and get into the real games. It's always nice to get through healthy and ready to go," Saunders said. "My arm feels good, so it was definitely a good Spring Training in that respect."
The 31-year-old made 28 starts between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Baltimore Orioles in 2012, finishing with a 9-13 record and 4.07 earned run average. Saunders also made two postseason starts for Baltimore this past season, going 1-0 with a 1.59 ERA over 11 1/3 innings pitched.
Oakland won 12 of its 19 matchups with the Mariners last season.

This is my son Alec Claypool catching his first fish with a fly rod on the Ruby River just below the dam. This fish was 14 inches and weighed just over 1 pound. I was so proud of him and the fact he landed it all by himself. "That's-a-my-boy!"
Spring Brown, caught on the Lower Madison the last week of March. Photo: Jordan Corcoran
31" 15 pound Brown Trout caught on April 10th 2013 in the Missouri River, Montana. This Hog Brown was caught on a size 2 black egg sucking leach streamer pattern!!
With other anglers all around and a glaring sun, I approached the run of destiny free from the instruction of my fishing partner. A few casts in, I thought I had snagged myself up on a rock, with a harmonic motion I raised the rod only to find a massive Rainbow that immediately thrust itself up out of the water. As it was only my third fish ever on the fly rod, I screamed as my fishing buddy ran to the scene. It made two hard runs before I was able to get it close! Not knowing yet how to properly land such a fish, caught up in the excitement of the moment and oblivious to my fishing partners instruction and look of sheer horror, I dropped my rod with the fish at my feet and grabbed my leader. Fortunately, I was able to grapple the fish to the shore with my bare hands and land it to shallower water. We all had to hop in the ol blue KIA and bomb through the canyon, just escaping being tardy for work. I may have left the most elusive fish in the river that day, but the exuberant smile never left my face... in anticipation for the next cast.
22 inch brown caught on the Yellowstone on a 9ft 6wt St. Croix imperial rod with a Loop Reel stripping a streamer caught march 31st 2013. He was released and we did not have a sale to weigh him so the weight is unknown.
Had to catch it twice to get this PHOTO!!!
I caught this 32" Brown Trout on the Gallatin River right here in Gallatin County. I was fly fishing with a 6 weight and caught it on a natural colored zonker. When I landed it, I was floored to see what a great, old creature this was. I fumbled for a phone or camera in my waders, but realized that they were in the truck. I put the fish back and watched him swim away and kicked myself for not having proof of this amazing trout. I was consumed by the experience(my wife would say obsessed). I was determined to go back out to the same spot and catch the fish again. I knew it was a long shot, but i literally couldn't sleep, just thinking about it. So on my third trip back, armed with a friend(witness) and a camera, I caught the great beast again! All 32" of this huge fish!!
He swam away a happy old man.
First fish ever I caught on the Galltin River
One heck of a fighter---Ran my line out into the backing twice and took 20 minutes to land this 20" brown trout from Ennis Lake on a peacock bugger. You may see him again, he caught his breath and took off like a bullet.
Bitterroot cutbow on a boogie man.
This monster 41" buck steelhead weighed 22 lbs, and was caught in Idaho on the clearwater river. Although it was quite a battle,and he barely fit in the net, I landed him with a 10 foot, 7 weight, TFO flyrod, using an egg yarn fly.
First time fishing this year..caught this one on the gallatin on April 7th
This is my first Steelhead that I caught on a fly rod in Idaho this past March. The rush that comes with landing a 34 inch sea run fish on a fly that I tied myself is indescribable! I just started to learn how to fly fish this past year. After several days with no success and a few lost fish I finally landed this one! I am now hooked on fly fishing and big fish.
Huey loves fishing with his Moma Morgan!
This Bow was pulled out of Hauser Resevoir with an olive conehead wooly bugger!
My sons second trip out and he caught this beautiful rainbow trout.
10+ lb Fort Peck walleye. I wasn't fly fishing but, hey, this is still the best picture ever! I was a happy girl! Pick me!!!
Ava is 4 and this is her big catch on April 7th on the Gallatin...her pole almost snapped!
Getting my dirt mc'girt on arrrrrrrr!
Muskie I caught on a yellow bucktail streamer in MN, on a broken TFO rod with 12lb test, one of the most exciting moments of my life! at least I had a steel leader. My buddy (in the picture) had to grab the fish after it broke through the net and pin it against the boat then "clean" it into the boat just to get a picture with it after a 10 minute battle! This is why I myself did not get a picture with it. Thank you Brandon! What a day!
My husband and I went to Harrison Lake this April to celebrate my 41st Birthday- and this was the gift I received. A 20 inch Brown, casting a brown bead head woolly bugger to shore, stripping it in. It was gorgeous sunshine, and no wind (rare) which made watching him attack in the clear water even that much more special! Went back 4hours later and caught another 18 incher. Happy Birthday indeed!
Gangster fisherman
Lake trout caught on Flathead lake on 10/3/12. My biggest catch ever (21" was biggest caught the day before!) at 37" caught using steel line 150 feet down with a red and white flatfish lure.
This photo was taken last summer in Sitka, AK on my family fishing trip. This was the biggest halibut I caught all trip. Just to put this fish to scale, I'm 5'9". I definitely out-fished the boys on this one!!
Big Horn Beauty all landed on a 5 Weight Rod
On September 19th 2012 in Pulaski, NY I landed what may soon be considered a new World Record Coho Salmon. The fish was 42.75 inches long,24 inches in girth and weighted 34.0 pounds on an official IGFA scale. The fish was caught on an 8 Wt. 10 Ft. Fly rod with 15 Lb tippet and a size 6 Black Raider streamer. The fish took approximately 20 minutes to land with the assistance of my guide Jay Peck from Spencerport NY. After fly fishing for 44 years, it was and will probably be - my fish of a lifetime. The odds of hooking, fighting and landing this fish were so low that I estimate that if I hooked this fish 10 times, I probably would have landed it only once!
10:30 am Fly rod racked and tagged out for the day

The Rochester Education Foundation will present its Higher Education Partner Award to the University of Rochester during the organization's fourth annual Partnerships Awards Dinner at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center.
Launched in 2003, the Rochester Education Foundation is an independent organization who provides resources to improve learning and success for Rochester city public school students through the cultivation of partnerships between education, business and the community. The awards ceremony honors individuals, businesses, and organizations that make a tangible difference in the lives of urban children. The Higher Education Partner Award recognizes the University's Wilson International Baccalaureate Diploma and Rochester Promise scholarships, both available for students from the Rochester City School District.
"The University of Rochester has taken a stand in terms of being a part of the city and engaging and motivating young people," said Patricia Braus, executive director of the Rochester Education Foundation. "That's really at the heart of what we honor."
In 2005, the College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering created scholarships for graduates of the Wilson International Baccalaureate Programme. This year's freshman class boasts 33 students who graduated with an IB diploma with 23 of those students receiving partial funding through the scholarship program, including two full-tuition scholars. Since the program's inception, the University has enrolled 11 students as full-tuition Wilson IB scholars. The Rochester Promise scholarship program was launched in 2008, and offers $25,000 per year to graduates of the Rochester City School District. In its second year, there are 20 Rochester Promise scholars attending the University.
"It's wonderful for our staff and faculty to receive this recognition from the Rochester Education Foundation," said Jonathan Burdick, Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at the University. "We get to enjoy our collaborations with the schools every day as great City students enroll and visit here, and Rochester students increasingly live and work in the City, but this award highlights how the community at large values these efforts."
Both scholarship programs help the University attract highly competitive students like Wanda Perez-Diaz, a sophomore studying health and society as an IB scholarship recipient. On the pre-med track, Perez-Diaz is enrolled as a Rochester Early Medical Scholar. The program is an eight-year combined degree program where she'll receive admission to Rochester's School of Medicine and Dentistry upon completion of her bachelor's degree.
"For me, the scholarship was an incentive to continue my education in Rochester," said Perez-Diaz, who was looking at other institutions, including Brown University. "Programs like these two scholarships help build a strong, intellectual community and attract students who can really make a difference."

Review: The best Fermi overclocking potential so far
GTX 465 uses a scaled down version of the GF100 chip; more precisely the chips that haven't qualified to run on GTX 480 and GTX 470 cards made their way to the GTX 465. Full version of GF100 packs 16 Streaming Multiprocessors (SM) whereas the GTX 465 comes with only 11 SMs and 352 shader processors. Let us clarify – one SM packs 32 shader processors (SPs), or CUDA cores as Nvidia likes to call them. GTX 470 comes with 14 SMs (448 SPs) whereas the GTX 480 comes with 15 SMs (480 SPs). This means that none of these cards use the full potential of the GF100.
The announcement of Fermi GF100 chip also brought about Nvidia's usage of GDDR5 memory on high-end cards. Unlike AMD, who uses 256-bit memory interface and high-clocked GDDR5, Nvidia uses wider memory bus and slower GDDR5 memory.
Note that the GTX 480 uses 384-bit memory interface (3696MHz memory, 177.4 GB/s bandwidth), the GTX 470 uses 320-bit interface (3348MHz memory, 133.9 GB/s bandwidth) whereas the GTX 465 uses a 256-bit memory interface (3206MHz memory, 102.6 GB/s bandwidth). In comparison, the fastest AMD's single GPU card, the HD 5870, uses 256-bit memory interface but faster memory (4800MHz memory, 153.6GB/s bandwidth). The HD 5850, which is the GTX 465's direct competitor, uses 256-bit memory interface (4000MHz memory, 128GB/s bandwidth).
The GF100 is a complex chip made of four Graphics Processing Clusters (GPC), four Raster Engines, six memory controllers, six ROP clusters with 8 ROP units each and, as we said before, 16 SMs. Each ROP cluster is assigned one 64-bit memory controller. The GTX 465 packs 32 ROPs, meaning that compared to the GTX 480, it's 2 ROPs and two memory controllers short (which at the same time explains the 256-bit memory interface)
Downclocking is the most common and logical way to make a visible difference between cards, but since the GTX 465's GPU is scaled down in comparison to the GTX 470's, Nvidia decided to leave the clocks unchanged (607MHz GPU, 1215MHz stream processors). Note that the GTX 480 runs at 700MHz for the GPU and 1401MHz for the shaders.
Gainward's GTX 465 Good card runs at reference clocks and packs a reference video buffer with 1024MB of GDDR5 memory.
GF100 is an extremely fast and powerful graphics processor, but all this comes at a price. Namely, this GPU gets very hot and devising efficient cooling was no easy task. All three Fermi cards use Nvidia's dual slot cooler which keeps the temperatures in check, but the fans run at a pretty high RPM and it directly translates into noise. Gainward, on the other hand, would have none of that and made its own cooler with two fans. The GTX 480's TDP stands at 250W; the GTX 470's is at 215W whereas the GTX 465 comes with a 200W TDP.
Packaging and Contents
Gainward prepared a new box design for the new Fermi cards. Now when the company is once again Premium Nvidia partner, Gainward didn't miss out on the chance to emphasize that on the GTX 465's box.
Users who buy Gainward's cards based on the reference design receive an HDMI cable with a mini-HDMI connector, but the GTX 465 Good comes with full size HDMI so there's no need for that. The only video out that's not featured on the card is VGA, but if you do end up needing it, Gainward ships a DVI-to-VGA dongle with the card.
A closer look at Gainward GTX 465 Good Edition
Gainward GTX 465 Good Edition's cooler comes with two fans. The fans are placed above the heatsink rather than in line with it (like on reference cooling), which allows for a larger heatsink. We didn't like the fact that the cooler disperses heat within the case and only a fraction of hot air exits via I/O panel, but it's still superior to the reference solution.
Since there's not much airflow around the I/O panel and thus no need to convert one slot into an air outlet, Gainward pounched on the chance to put a DisplayPort video out. This makes Gainward's GTX 465 Good is a video-out champ among Fermi cards, but unfortunately the GF100 will still limit you to two outs at the same time. If, however, you're adamant to get that third video out, you'll have to purchase another card.
Below you see two cards – Gainward's reference GTX 470 and Gainward's GTX 465 Good. Since we don't own a reference GTX 465 card we used the GTX 470 to demonstrate the differences, as both cards use the same I/O panel with identical set of outs, the same cooling and the same PCB.
Unlike previous Nvidia's cards, Fermi cards no longer need a SPDIF cable, as an integrated audio processor takes care of audio via the PCIe bus.
The PCB on Gainward's GTX 465 Good is 22.8cm long, compared to the 22.8cm long reference PCB.
The card draws power via two PCIe connectors.
The GTX 465's cooler takes care of memory as well as power regulation circuitry. The green areas you see on the picture are thermal components which are placed to be in direct contact with various PCB components.
Three heatpipes route GPU heat to the far ends of the heatsink.
The fans are a part of the plastic hood. Both fans are on one 4-pin connector so RPM regulation will be easy.
Like the reference card, Gainward's Good Edition comes with SLI connectors.

Futuremark Vantage
Nvidia built the GTX 465 to sit somewhere between the red camp's HD 5850 and HD 5830 cards, but preliminary results show that the GTX 465 isn't fast enough to beat the HD 5850. We'll soon see whether Vantage results carry on to gaming as well.
Dirt 2
At 1920x1200, Gainward GTX 465 Good Edition shows that we're talking about a good gaming card, but the HD 5850 is still beating it price-wise.
Switching to 2560x1600 sees the GTX 465 lag behind the HD 5850, to the point where the 5830 catches up with it. Still, even at this high resolution we still managed a playable framerate.
Metro 2033
Metro 2033 didn't change much – we see that the GTX 465 beats the HD 5830 but is inferior to HD 5850. The GTX 470 scored about 28% better.
GTX 465 didn't do very well in FurMark, and this test see the card lose to HD 5830 for the first time.
Overclocking Gainward's GTX 465 Good Edition wasn't difficult and it generally went very well. We overclocked the GPU to the max in Gainward's ExperTool v7.9, which was 790MHz.
Since the card ran stable and GPU temperatures didn't exceed 93°C (auto RPM regulation, 75% RPM speed), we decided to try our luck with MSI's Afterburner tool v.1.6.9 Beta 5, but we couldn't push the card further. Still, MSI allowed us to push memory further, and we achieved stable 1000MHz.
Gainward's GTX 465 Good Edition's cooling isn't quite inaudible when idle, but it's quiet enough not to bother you. We could easily hear it during gaming, but the noise was constant and didn't change like on reference GTX 480 and GTX 470 cards. The info we have says the GTX 465 is quieter than the GTX 470.
Power Consumption
Gainward's GTX 465 Good Edition draws about the same as the reference GTX 470, which is a direct result of the Gainward's PCB of choice. The reference GTX 465's TDP stands at 200W, whereas the GTX 470's TDP is at 215W.
Our test rig consumed up to 392W with the GTX 465 Good Edition, which is comparable to the same scenario with the GTX 470 onboard – our rig consumed 395W in the latter scenario. Radeon HD 5850 however is much better as our rig drew up to 308W. Idle operation once again crowns the HD 5850, as our rig drew 146W. The same scenario saw the GTX 470 consume 149W whereas Gainward's GTX 465 Good drew 152W.
GPU temperatures
With no overclocking, Gainward's GTX 465 hit 87°C, while after clocking this number jumped to 93°C. This is, at the same time, the temperature on reference GTX 470 cards when running 3D. Radeon HD 5850 keeps GPU temperatures at about 41°C when idle, whereas 3D operation pushes it up to 87°C. Idle temperatures on Gainward's GTX 465 Good Edition were at 41°C, which means that temperatures are pretty much identical to those on HD 5850 cards.
As you can see from the following results, after overclocking Gainward's GTX 465 Good Edition, the card scored similarly to the GTX 470.
Gainward's GTX 465 Good Edition is a reference clocked card, and we were pretty surprised to see that Gainward didn't push the card further after strapping it with such a quality cooler. Still, if the clocks were higher, this card would cost more, whereas now it will set you back no more than a reference card will. In fact, the card is very close to being the most affordable GTX 465. We must say that it's been a while since we've seen such overclocking potential, as we managed to push the card from 607MHz to 790MHz, which is more than 30% more juice.
Gainward managed to make one of the best GTX 465 cards around, as the card packs great overlocking potential, a fine dual-slot cooler and a standard HDMI connector (rather than Nvidia's mini-HDMI out found on reference designs). Furthermore, the card also comes with two dual-link DVI outs and a DisplayPort connector. Note however, that only two outs can be used at the same time.
Unfortunately, such performance comes at a price and the GTX 465's power consumption is pretty high; in fact, it's comparable to GTX 470's consumption.
All in all, the GTX 465 Good is indeed a "good" gaming card, and it's some 25% slower than the GTX 470. We believe it will prove to be popular with those looking for a sub-€290 DirectX11 cards.
Unfortunately, while the GTX 465 is a pretty good card and certainly the most affordable Nvidia's DirectX 11 product, the price is still not right, especially after considering the competition. In fact, same money can buy you an HD 5850, and you could easily see throughout our tests that the HD 5850 is simply faster.
If you're looking for CUDA and PhysX support and are keen on purchasing Nvidia's DirectX 11 card without having to spend a fortune, then Gainward's GTX 465 Good card is the one for you. If its performance doesn't blow your mind right out of the box, you can always resort to some overclocking and push the card to similar performance levels of the GTX 470.
The card is priced at about 262 euro, and you can find it here.

As the head of Focus on the Family, Jim Daly might be considered one of the nation's leading culture warriors — a title that certainly applied to his predecessor, James Dobson, who founded the organization and built it into a powerhouse of the conservative evangelical movement.
And, to be sure, Daly threw the considerable resources of his organization — which fiercely opposes abortion and same-sex marriage — behind the campaign to defeat President Obama, paying for millions of mailers that listed the presidential candidates' positions on issues that were important to "values voters."
In the aftermath of the election, however, Daly is willing to say things that few conservative evangelical leaders are likely to say. He believes, for instance, that the Christian right lost the fight against same-sex marriage in four states in part because it is on the losing side of a cultural paradigm. He says the evangelical community should have been considering immigration reform years ago, "but we were led more by political-think than church-think."
And, along the same lines, he argues that evangelicals have made a mistake by marching in lock step with the Republican Party.

Eman of Saudiwoman's Weblog and Qusay of Qusay Today have both posted in support of a planned 2-week boycott, starting February 13th, organized by Reem Assad, a lecturer in banking and finance at Jeddah's Dar el-Hekma Women's College, on Facebook, BAN MEN FROM SELLING LINGERIE IN KSA, to protest the current situation of men only selling women's lingerie in Saudi Arabia, and the evasion of legislation to increase women's employment by having them work in lingerie shops. Reem has described her impetus well here for FT (Financial Times Magazine--First Person), and has been profiled here at Transracial, as a "lingerie maverick". Eman has summarized particularly well the broader social issues in her post, and Qusay the man's perspective in his .
Susie of Arabia of Susie's Big Adventure and Jeddah Daily Photo Journal has previously addressed the issue of the discomfort women, including herself, experience of shopping for lingerie from a man, and the cognitive dissonance of doing so in Saudi Arabia where gender segregation is so strict. She also provided a very effective visual of a man at work folding his lingerie wares.
As I have commented on these posts and others, it seems important to me that women's employment opportunities be increased including at this starting point, and that women who are uncomfortable shopping for lingerie from men have the option locally to be served by a woman.
Reem Assad has announced her longer standing campaign, since February 2009, this way:

Boycotts can be highly effective modes of social activism though they often take some time to be established and massive enough to be effective. They are safer forms of action than some others, as there are no laws forcing one to buy a product (usually) or to buy a product from a specific buyer (usually).
The grape and lettuce boycotts led by Cesar Chavez of the United Farm Workers union to gain better working conditions, wages, and protection for seasonal farm workers, usually poor Hispanics, was eventually highly effective, in part because North Americans either didn't buy grapes and lettuce, or bought them from overseas or from local vineyards using local hires.
Some boycotts are part of moral purchasing, or consumer activism. Other boycotts, have a more political or ideological impact. The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a landmark of the Civil Rights movement in the US, and Gandhi's boycott of British products an integral part of his plan for independence through civil disobedience and passive resistance in India. Those against products from South Africa under apartheid or the ongoing one against Danish products following the Danish cartoons, have had international resonance and effectiveness at a political level for South Africa, and an economic one for the Danish products.
Boycotts against stores that support the IDF, like the Palestinian one against Chapters/Indigo Books in Canada, against Israeli products, or the ongoing international boycotts of Israeli academics have yet to make an impact, and the latter one has some ethical issues in conflict with academic freedom, and as being against the academic community which is generally the most supportive of Palestinian rights and autonomy, as did the one in the 1960's against South African academics, and which proved to be more symbolic than effective. They are in early phases though.
The internet and social networking sites have made it much easier to rapidly organize an effective boycott. Regarding the boycott of lingerie stores employing men in Saudi Arabia, I suggest that the boycott be extended beyond the 2 weeks even by women unable to buy lingerie outside the country. This can be done by trying on lingerie in stores or their nearby washrooms (in the proper hygienic manner), and then purchasing it online, or buying one item and purchasing online multiples of the same, or the same in other colours, or with slight style differences.
I hope all those who are resident in the KSA will join in the BAN MEN FROM SELLING LINGERIE IN KSA boycott, at least for the 2 weeks starting February 13th, and meanwhile I shall continue to not buy books from Chapters/ Indigo.

How comfortable would you, woman or man, feel purchasing women's lingerie from a man?
Would it matter his origin, ethnicity, or sexual orientation?
What do you think of boycotts?
Are some unethical?
Are you currently participating in a boycott? Of what, and why?
Any other comments, thoughts, or experiences?

1) Watch the video of the April 19 What's Next for Fall Program Program. Click here to be taken to the Program & Videos page.
2) Complete, sign and submit the What's Next for Fall Registration Sheet to the main Career Services Office in Suite 360 by 5 pm on Friday, May 20, 2011.
3) In addition, if after viewing the video you decide that you would like to participate in Fall Recruiting 2011, you must complete the Mandatory Fall Recruiting Program Make-up Questionnaire, and submit it to the main Career Services Office in Suite 360 also by 5 pm on Friday, May 20, 2011.
4) Review the Resource Sheets referenced in the program on-line (PDF links are listed on the Programs & Videos page or in the Fall Recruiting section of the kentlaw.edu website under "Make-up Procedures.") Alternatively, you can pick up copies of the handouts in the main Career Services Office.
Updated Resume Books are being created for this summer!
Summer Resume Books will be available for "opt-in" beginning May 2, 2011 for all rising 2Ls, 3Ls and Recent Graduates (2010 and 2011 classes). Even if you have secured employment for this summer, keep in mind that summer resume books may be used by employers for hiring for Fall 2011.
As a reminder, a Resume Book is exactly what it sounds like, a collection of resumes that can be distributed to employers on request. Our resume books will collect the resumes of students and recent graduates in a particular class (e.g. 2Ls) with similar interests (e.g. immigration law, real estate law, or working in the northern suburbs), and then notify employers who fit those criteria that the books are available for review. These books can also be used when an employer calls up our office looking for a particular type of student to clerk for them ("We are looking for a 3L interested in litigation who has worked as a 711 clerk."), so that we can respond quickly and efficiently to employer requests (in that case by looking at the 3L Litigation Resume Book for students who have been 711 clerks).
For more information about Resume Books, click here.
The Career Services Office remains open with its regular hours throughout the summer time, and continues to provide students and graduates with the same counseling, resume review, and other services. Please don't hesitate to come in, call or email!
The Career Services Office is pleased to announce that videos of our programming are now available to be viewed online. Most of our programming will be available on our website within 1-2 days of the original program date and will remain available for viewing for 2-3 weeks, due to limited server space. Program videotapes will still be available in our office. A password is required to view these programs. Please call our office at 312-906-5200 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for the username and password. To watch videos of our programming, go to the CSO's web page, click on the right hand navigation bar "For Students" and select "Watch Program Videos." Or, click here to be taken directly to the page.
If you receive callbacks/offers during the fall interview season, please report this to our office by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com every couple weeks or so. Please include from what source you obtained the interview/offer (OCI, resume collect, CCBA job fair, Loyola Patent Fair, etc.). We keep track of these in order to determine how students are doing and where our students end up working during the summer/after graduation. Also, if you have any concerns about how your interviews are progressing or questions about the interview process, please make an appointment to talk with a career counselor.

The Boston Lawyers Group (BLG) is a consortium of over 40 of the largest law firms, government agencies, and corporations in Boston. Its mission is to promote the hiring, retention, and professional development of attorneys of color in its member organizations. A primary goal of the BLG is to increase the number of law students of color that member organizations hire for their Boston office.

Employers who participate in either job fair hire only for positions in their Boston office. To be eligible to participate in the job fairs students must be rising second-year law students (or rising 3Ls if the student is in a 4-year program). Employers will be interviewing for 2012 summer associate/law clerk positions. Students who have been selected for one or more interviews can potentially obtain additional interviews through the lottery selection process. Students may only register for one fair.
Student registration ends at midnight on July 8, 2011. Please note that students are not allowed to bid, instead, participating BLG Members select the students they wish to interview.

A number of commentators have expressed their idealistic belief in the purity of Mousavi, Montazeri, and the westernized youth of Tehran. The CIA destabilization plan, announced two years ago (see below) has somehow not contaminated unfolding events.
The claim is made that Ahmadinejad stole the election, because the outcome was declared too soon after the polls closed for all the votes to have been counted. However, Mousavi declared his victory several hours before the polls closed. This is classic CIA destabilization designed to discredit a contrary outcome. It forces an early declaration of the vote. The longer the time interval between the preemptive declaration of victory and the release of the vote tally, the longer Mousavi has to create the impression that the authorities are using the time to fix the vote. It is amazing that people don't see through this trick.
As for the grand ayatollah Montazeri's charge that the election was stolen, he was the initial choice to succeed Khomeini, but lost out to the current Supreme Leader. He sees in the protests an opportunity to Continue reading
