This odd Wii U collaboration plays like a guided tour of The Legend of Zelda's most iconic locations and characters. The price of admission? Playing a bunch of Dynasty Warriors.
Destiny is a beautiful but hollow experience with most of the pieces you'd expect from a great multiplayer shooter. It just can't find a way to fit them all together.
Whatever steps forward NHL 15 has taken in visual presentation hardly make up for the alarming gutting of many of the series' best features.

A girl who is not your girlfriend but offers the same benefits. Much like 7Up, you like it... it likes you! A title for those guys who are afraid of commitment. A little like a fuck buddy, but one step up, maybe a bit of like/love. Did I say love?
Me and my un girlfriend are into non committal sexual realtionship, then we usually eat.

Wednesday brought more small-group mediation practice. By this time, due to the intensity of the class and the class size, most people were showing great improvement in their mediation skills.

Running back Rashard Mendenhall was already well known to football fans before the weekend. After bin Laden was killed and Mendenhall made controversial comments about his death on his twitter account, he became infamous amongst non-sports fans.
For nearly a 24-hour span on Tuesday, Mendenhall's name was atop Google's chart for most searched term. That's probably not the way he wanted to become known, but it's what happened. And now that he's been roundly criticized and hammered by the public and even his owners, he's taken to his blog to try and clarify things. Here's what he wrote:

Drugs with Other Mechanisms of Action
A miscellaneous group of drugs, whose ability to inhibit angiogenesis involves mechanisms that are either nonspecific or are not clearly understood, is also being tested in cancer patients. One example, a drug called CAI, exerts its effects by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into cells. While this inhibition of calcium uptake suppresses the growth of endothelial cells, such a general mechanism may affect many other cellular processes.

Chairman's Message
The Vagad Gurukul International School is an ambitious project which emerged from
the benign thought of Shri Jethalal Nonghabhai Gada Vagad Education, Welfare
and Research Centre that work for the betterment of Community settled in
Mumbai. It was felt that schools and colleges amidst the dazzle of metro are not
able to provide the right environment for mental, physical, educational and spiritual
growth of students. Therefore a group of like-minded, wise men from the Vagad
Community contemplated the idea and meticulously nurture their thought.
From the Director's Desk
Life is no brief candle for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and
I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future
generations." Long ago, these beautiful words were said by George Bernard Shaw
and they are my source of inspiration. I joined the school at the beginning of the
session 2006 and it had been my endeavour to be an effective educational leader who
has to set an example to her team and guide the students under all circumstances.

Comments On Jun 13, 2014:It's looking a bit beat up but my pipe isn't bent. Even went down on the pavement in a GP race.

Comments On Jun 14, 2014:I installed this as soon as I bough the bike last fall. I have an FMF gnarly that doesn't have any dents or dings. The pipe protector is lightweight and almost bulletproof. I was worried it might transfer big hits to the flange on the cylinder so I also installed a trail tech flange protector and after 50 hours over the past 9 months of aggressive trail rides and desert racing the protector looks great and my pipe is undamaged.

Comments On Apr 21, 2014:This guard looks the best. Everyone will know you love you bike if you have it on. The black looks awesome. It also protects the pipe fairly well, but not as well as the ugly old aluminum guards. This guard is better for front impacts from rocks skipping up, than for coming down hard on a log or ledge, because it protects the front of the pipe, not the bottom. Mostly I think they look really cool!

Comments On Feb 01, 2014:After 1 season of riding and harescrambling, it is still protecting the pipe but there is 1 moderate sized dent under a cracked spot that an aluminum guard might have done a better job. Otherwise, no rattles or maintenance required. I am glad I have it vs going without as I know I have scraped it up many times on rocks that would have crushed the bare pipe!

Comments On Jan 22, 2014:This pipe guard is fairly affective. However, it stinks like the epoxy never cured. It's held up to some pretty heavy abuse, but I don't hit my pipe very often.

Comments On May 14, 2013:Got these and have put several rides on them now and they are great! I can't even tell I have them on. They fit under my pants great and really save the knees of this inspired rider. Don't like testing em out but glad to have them when I do. Must have especially at the price and RM was supper quick and really the best service.

Comments On Oct 23, 2011:Just dont like how these guards dont bend at all. seem uncomfortable.

Comments On Oct 24, 2011:These knee guards protect well in case of a fall. However, they are not knee braces and will not protecct your knee from lateral movement in a crash.. but if you fall onto your knees.. this will save your shins and knees from rocks, sticks and your bike. At this price, you cannot go wrong!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 30, 2011:Outstanding protection for the shin area. My son is a beginning rider, and these will give him some added protection in the event of a fall, or debris being kicked up by riders in front of him. Excellent!

Why Ford's focus is best in the business
Alan Mulally turns 65 this week. You might not know the name, but you surely know the company he leads. Mulally is the CEO of Ford. That might sound a pretty unpleasant role with all the challenges of declining sales, government bail-outs and union action. But Ford is different. And it's different because of Alan Mulally.
While General Motors and Chrysler were heading blindly over the edge of the cliff during the global financial crisis, Mulally steered his company in a very different direction. Almost as soon as he took over at Ford he went out and raised funds using the company as collateral.
Many onlookers questioned why Ford needed $26bn but the money, raised while credit was cheap and available, allowed Mulally the chance to totally restructure Ford and the way it made vehicles. It also enabled Ford to survive without the government bail-outs that both GM and Chrysler would later depend upon to stay afloat.
But it is what Mulally has been doing with his war chest that is really impressive. Marketers looking to learn about the new rules of brand management would do well to study his actions over the past three years. He started, as all good marketers should, with the knife. Ford had grown fat and unfocused in the early years of the 21st century. In 2007, barely a year into his tenure, Mulally sold off Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin. This week Ford will complete its divestments with the announcement that Volvo, a brand it acquired in 1999 for $6.5bn, has been sold to Chinese car manufacturer Geely for $1.8bn.
Why sell off such an array of wonderful brands? Take Volvo, it's a fabulous company with a strong brand equity linked to safety and performance. It's also very popular - Volvo has sold more than 200,000 vehicles worldwide since the start of 2010. And it has done so profitably. Up to June Volvo made pre-tax profits of $53m. So why sell the company now for a fraction of the price you paid for it ten years earlier?
The answer lies in focus and it is one of the most difficult lessons about brand management. Yes the likes of Volvo, Aston Martin and Jaguar are superb brands and, yes, they can make Ford money. But Mulally realised his wide portfolio of different brands with different models and different target markets would be less successful than a company that focused on its strengths.
To put it simply, Mulally is betting that focusing all his people and investments and resources on Ford will deliver a better ultimate return than if he spreads those resources across a portfolio of five or six brands. Or to put it even more simply, in the game of global branding, less is usually more. This new found focus has even been extended into the Ford brand itself under a new strategy that Mulally calls "OneFord". Having compared notes across multiple markets, Ford recognised that consumers from Stockholm to Stoke to San Diego were all looking for the same thing. So Ford's new models, such as the 2011 Fiesta, will be produced in five different plants around the world and made available in five continents - but the car itself will be the same. One brand. One model. One focus.
Before you start managing brands consider cutting most of them
One of the major benefits of producing fewer cars is that the ones you make are usually better. When Ford was spreading itself thinly across Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin, as well as its own models, the quality and attractiveness of the cars often suffered. Now, thanks to a singular brand focus and a much more parsimonious production list of sub-brands, Ford is producing cars that critics and consumers are raving about. The new Fiesta has met with a tremendous reception in America, for example.
Focus does not just guarantee better cars. Crucially, it also means better profits too. Under the OneFord approach many analysts expect Ford to double its operating profit margin of 7% to deliver a further $7bn a year in profits from about the same number of cars sold. Managing multiple brands might garner increased sales, but profit is the lifeblood of any business. By focusing on a single brand with a limited number of modelsFord is enjoying a new found profitability - one that has completely surprised the investment markets in recent months.
For marketers, Mulally and Ford provide an essential lesson in brand management. Before you start managing brands, consider cutting most of them. Too many of the companies I work with have too many brands. But unfortunately most of the marketers that manage them are too attached - or too short sighted - to see the advantages of removing brands from the portfolio and focusing on only the very best.
Ford is going to enjoy a remarkable five-year period of success thanks to its inspirational CEO and his ability to focus on the brand that counts.
The lesson should be clear. Ford's Focus is not just a very attractive small vehicle, it's also a crucial lesson in brand management.

Readers' comments (10)
Another great article from Mark Ritson ! Looks like somebody at Ford has finally decided to listen to what Al Ries has been preaching for so many years. Focusing on one brand and developing it with all available resources seems like a very smart move. Kudos to Mulally and everyone at Ford for making such a tough decision.
And what happens when the growth from this strategy has reached its full potential? Back to M&A?
I love the idea that Ford + Aston + Volvo + Land Rover + Jag is actually less valuable than just Ford on its own with unadulterated focus.
Its a classic illustration of why less brands will give a company more.
It's not about growth, although this strategy has cosistently grown Ford's market share. It's about profitability.
You do realise that Jaguar were bought out by TATA a little while ago now?
Ford no longer own Jaguar.
Hi Kaled
Yes I do realise that Jaguar was bought by TATA. That's the whole point of the bloody article. Go back and read it again.
You do realise its best to read articles before posting comments about them?
I can't help but think that it's Ford's inability to manage a house of brand, rather than any failing of the house of brand model itself, that necessitates this change. After all, house of brand seem to work for LVMH and P&G.
i hope i look that good at 65. i wonder if he endorses any moisterisers.
Mark - Mulally took this approach one level deeper...
Just after Alan became CEO and introduced "One Ford", every vehicle / platform / system and powertrain design in the world were examined to understand if they fitted the (very few) key brand values. Those that did continue to be developed - those that didn't were killed off as quickly as possible.
So not only was there direction to kill off excess brands (JLR, Aston Martin & Volvo), but also designs that didn't align with the brand, down to carpets and door handles!
I think it makes GM's behaviour even harder to understand - given the results Ford has had with this strategy, why would you start inventing horse-related brands for China?
I would much rather have a Jaguar than a Ford.

(Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc
The appointment marks Zoellick's second stint at Goldman Sachs. Before taking the helm at the World Bank in 2007, he served as vice chairman, international, at the bank.
President Barack Obama opted not to renominate Zoellick when his term expired in 2012, choosing instead to tap Dr. Jim Yong Kim, the former president of Dartmouth University.
Since leaving the World Bank, Zoellick has also joined the board of Temasek Holdings, the sovereign wealth fund of Singapore, as well as the international advisory board of the Rolls-Royce Group
At Goldman Sachs, Zoellick will oversee an advisory board that helps identify sources of international business or investment for the bank's clients. Other members of the international advisory board include Otmar Issing, a former member of the executive board of the European Central Bank, and Erik Åsbrink, a former Swedish finance minister.

User Reviews
The community thinks...
Solid Jeep by CK from PGH on 06/27/2012. Trim: 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4X4, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Soooo comfortable to sit in and awesome to drive. Sits high and I like that for clearance mostly I love how well this jeep handles and how very nice it is to drive. The seating and I have Leather is soo comfortable, there is no effort and none of that "tired feeling" after driving or riding in this vehicle. I bought mine used and have had it 8 months now and I totally love it everytime I drive it. A super solid jeep!!!
Cons: The arm rest console in center for front driver could have used a bit more padding. But that does not mean I dislike it, I only think it could have used a bit more to give a wee bit more comfort leaning on the right arm while driving.
Overall review: Very solid and super sharp looking jeep,especially in Black. Performs very well and I average 21.5 mpg around town and 24.5 mpg on highway. But it will eat up ur gas if you hit it hard. I just drive normal and I am pleased with the gas for the size of this vehicle. Has many options ans id very comfy and awesome. I am soooo glad I bought this jeep grand cherokee laredo 4x4 with heated leather seats!!

FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) - Pinal County sheriff's deputies say more than 4,500 rounds of ammunition have been found in the back of an SUV that was abandoned in the southern Arizona desert.
Sheriff Paul Babeu says investigators suspect the SUV was being used to smuggle the ammunition. He says the .38 caliber rounds found inside the vehicle are popular in Mexico.
The discovery followed a brief chase near Stanfield on Saturday. The sheriff's office says a deputy patrolling the area spotted the vehicle and ran its plates.
The deputy tried to stop the SUV after finding out that it had been reported stolen in Phoenix. The driver fled into the desert.
Authorities were able to track the vehicle and found it abandoned. The ammunition was found stacked in boxes in the back.
