Playstation > PlayStation Game Cheats > PlayStation Reviews > Staff Review | ||
the Scene: The original G-Police introduced us to our future. It all began in the year 2097 when technology had advanced to the point where humans were able to colonize their solar system. Callisto had been colonized with an aim to extract its great mineral wealth that lay deep below the surface. War had raged in space as each nation battled for control of the planets that contained the essential minerals. People lost confidence in their governments after the war because of the squandering of Earths mineral resources. Established society was torn apart so the major corporations decided to restore it into a form that was good for business. Vast domed cities now litter the nearest planets and moons protecting their occupants from the harsh conditions outside while the Corporations reluctantly agreed to fund an independent force to police their territories, G-Police was originally formed to control the colonies within. Weapons of Justice opens as yet another war reaches it's conclusion. The defeat of the Corporation has left the G-Police in control (although they took a pounding in the process). But for how long? There is civil unrest and crime syndicates are gaining power. It's only a matter of time before civil war breaks out. The marines are on their way, but just what is their Colonel's hidden agenda? The time has come to return to the world of the G-Police, a future reality where a band of law enforcement officers struggle for order in the skies and down on the city streets. Genre: G-Police 2: Weapons of Justice is a mission based flight sim heavily biased towards shoot-em-up air/ground combat. It is set in a highly populated true three-dimensional cityscape. The player is provided with a unique opportunity to become a G-Cop and patrol the streets of a virtual city in a series of close air support gunships and, for the first time, heavily armed ground units. With mysteries, sub-plots, and treachery in store, the fate of the Earth lies in the hands of one force. Sound and Vision: G-Police 2 begins with a CG intro using advanced motion-capture technology to provide an opening intro of movie quality. However, following the current trend in Playstation gaming progression through the missions is rewarded with further story segments and campaign briefs using the in-game graphics engine. The moment you don your G-Police matching crash helmet and riot shield and take to the streets in the heavily h'armed Havoc helicopter it becomes apparent that these living, breathing, high rise cities are truly alive. Citizens appear to go about their everyday business totally oblivious to the dogfights happening above their heads. The roads and highways are crammed with a wide range of vehicles constantly travelling back and forth. There's red saloons, yellow vans, green trucks, blue pick-ups... On one occasion I was passing through a lengthy tunnel on route to an urgent mission and suddenly came face to face with this gigantic transport machine. I don't know what it was... maybe a mobile warehouse? There was barely enough room to get past therefore I had to reverse all the way back out through the tunnel and wait for it to pass by. Not only are the roads heavily congested, so are the skies. Apart from the regular appearance of attacking bandits the sheer amount of flying craft would drive an air traffic controller insane. Single shuttles, transport trippers, cargo convoys... even the train system is a flying monorail. Furthermore, the road network fails to remain firmly planted on the ground. Subways and bridges act as detours to heavy industrial sites and flyover's and flypasses sprout from every junction providing a testing obstacle course for the budding pilot at low level. Streetlights brighten up the sidewalk, which pave the way of the individually designed buildings. Most of these structures rise high into the sky making passing over a rather steep journey. These include office blocks, airports, penitentiaries, power plants, statues... even flashing neon advertising hoardings. Long continuous tunnels have replaced the warp gates from the original game, which connected each domed city. The fact that each city is contained within a dome actually helps the gameplay and allows you to corner the enemy fighters rather than chase them through endless space. Once tracked down and eliminated the resulting explosion is stunning as the enemy craft first emits a smoke trail, then catches fire, spirals out of control and spectacularly collides with the side of a building, before crashing to the ground in a huge ball of flame. There are several ways to view the action. The in-cockpit camera is probably the most suitable but an out-of-craft view will need to be used when you take part in a bombing mission as this is the only way you can accurately position your laser. Unfortunately all of this detail is not without penalties as the redraw distance is once again very short. A common problem in the original game occurred when flying along with your mind on the mission, a multi-story building would suddenly appear right before your very eyes. To counteract this problem the developers have included an ingenious early warning system. Rather than the horizon being shrouded in total darkness one second, and then a building pops-up the next, each structure in the distance has been roughly outlined to offer advanced notice of the their upcoming position. In most instances this assists the gameplay, but generally it will leave you wishing that the Playstation 2 was already here. Playability: G-Police 2, Weapons of Justice now puts the player in control of several air and land vehicles each of which adds a whole new style of play. As a recruit of the G-Police organization you must once again pilot the Havoc, a highly maneuverable vector thrust gunship much like the helicopter gunships of today. The Havoc is quickly replaced by the updated Venom helicopter, which is faster, sleeker and handles like a dream. The Venom's agility makes it ideal for the airborne policing of urban areas, full of high-rise blocks and skyscrapers. Successfully progressing through the missions offers the first opportunity to take to the streets of Callisto in land based vehicles. The Rhino is an armor-plated car packed with a unique set of weaponry more suited to ground based fighting. It features turbo boost injection and an ultra responsive hand brake to assist high speed cornering. Moving further into the game the introduction of the Raptor, a high tech mech warrior, further enhances gameplay. Stick with the plot through to the twenty-fifth mission and the space fighter Corsair, packed with super sonic missiles, becomes available. Woopeee! Getting into the game couldn't be easier. The training level has been replaced with an in-flight help system; therefore it's straight into the thick of the action... learning as you go. Control of the craft has now been greatly simplified, which was a major gripe in the first game. It retains the subtleties of the original, while proving more responsive and easier to grasp. Also, the analog sticks don't seem so ultra-sensitive allowing the player to feel in total control most of the time. Missions include reconnaissance, protection, high action battles and city patrols. Advancing through the game the tasks become more difficult but to counteract this weapons are upgraded to stunning proportions. The most important asset is your wingman who accompanies you on each mission. Take care not to shoot him out of the sky, so check that each target has a red border and not a blue one. Your computer-controlled assistant will independently take out targets but you have the facility to select a target for him on your weapons HUD. Correct use of your wingman is essential during later missions. Many favorite weapons have been retained from the first game with a few devastating additions. Weapons are divided into primary and secondary categories. Primaries are guns and lasers. Secondary are bombs and missiles. An interesting little weapon is the EPP, which is used to paralyze and disable a vehicles avionics and computer system. These are particularly useful when chasing a fast moving road vehicles. There's the usual homing missiles, mortars and laser guided cluster bombs for getting rid of a whole bunch of things that move... and some things that don't, but it's the specials that offer the most fun. The Gemini involves two missiles being launched in a V-formation therefore doubling the chances of striking the target. Vindicator rockets can identify civilian and G-Police vehicles avoiding own goal casualties. The Starburst is one of my favorites. It is made up of eight auto tracking missiles that scan the area for up to eight individual targets... ideal when being attacked by multiple bandits. Should there only be a single target within range then all eight will lock onto the poor beggar in sight and it's 'Goodnight Vienna'. KABOOOM! (×8). If the action becomes a little to hot for your liking you can always turn tail and shake off those chasing enemies by weaving between buildings, ducking under bridges and cutting through subways. Game Options: This is a single disk game for 1 Player. It is compatible with the standard (digital) joypad and the dual shock (analog) joypad. Games can be saved via memory card (1 block per save). |

Further study details as provided by Brigham and Women's Hospital:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Serum MMP7 level [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Our primary outcome is the change in MMP7 serum level over 3 months of treatment. Serum MMP7 concentrations in peripheral blood are easily measureable and reflect changes in the alveolar microenvironment. Thus, we have chosen to study mean serum MMP7 concentrations after three months of CO treatment as a surrogate biomarker of the effect of inhaled CO administration on disease progression.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Total lung capacity (TLC) [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Total lung capacity (TLC) is a major clinical determinant of restrictive lung disease in practice, with TLC measurement below the 5th percentile of the predicted value indicative of a restrictive ventilatory defect
- Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Interstitial changes associated with IPF can worsen diffusing capabilities across the alveolar-capillary membrane. As a result, diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide is an important outcome to assess architectural distortion and resultant decrements in diffusing capabilities
- Six minute walk distance [ Time Frame: 3 months ]The six minute walk distance is commonly used both in research studies and in clinical practice as a measure of functional capabilities, and changes in six minute walk distance and oxygen use during testing over time often reflect clinically relevant disease progression. We will measure the distance travelled during six minutes (meters) in accordance with published guidelines
- St George's Respiratory Questionnaire [ Time Frame: 3 months ]St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) is a validated self-reported instrument. In this instrument, scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores reflective of worse quality of life.
Enrollment: | 58 |
Study Start Date: | July 2011 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | May 2015 |
Primary Completion Date: | October 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: carbon monoxide inhalation
The primary intervention will be inhaled CO at 100-200 ppm administered two times weekly for two hours per dose to complete 12 weeks of treatment.
Drug: inhaled carbon monoxide
The intervention will be inhaled CO at 100-200 ppm administered two times weekly for two hours per dose to complete 12 weeks of treatment.
Other Name: CO
Placebo Comparator: Oxygen 21% |
Other: Oxygen
Room air oxygen concentrations will be administered as placebo
Other Name: O2
Detailed Description:
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease characterized by destruction of normal epithelial structure, proliferation of fibroblasts, and deposition of connective-tissue matrix proteins. There are currently no effective therapies for IPF. Over the past two decades, preclinical studies of inhaled low dose carbon monoxide (CO) have shown that this biologically active diatomic gas possesses properties that would make it a viable novel therapy for IPF. CO therapy has been well tolerated in Phase I and Phase II human trials to date. This phase II study is designed to investigate whether IPF patients show evidence of decreased peripheral blood levels of MMP7 and stability of secondary indicators of disease progression after 3 months of inhaled therapy.

Rejoice, fans of GlaDOS, Wheatley, Chell, and the crazy Aperture lab as that promised free Summer DLC for Portal 2 is actually bound to reach us. "Valve time" didn't screw us over too much.
Originally due for release in mid September, the first Portal 2 DLC pack Portal 2 – Peer Review didn't quite match up with launch plans. Thankfully though, it hasn't fallen victim to the notorious "Valve time" or random potato collection task as the continuing story of the co-op testing bots, Atlas, and P-Body is due to launch today.
The Peer Review DLC pack will give players, and their co-op partners, additional test tracks to traverse with their handheld portal devices and will serve as a continuation of the story laid out during the original courses which shipped with the game back in April. Also included is a single and multiplayer Challenge Mode with leaderboards to compare your scores.
Here is the official description of what is in store for players today;
In Peer Review, you and a friend will continue the story of loyal bots P-Body and Atlas as you puzzle your way through a mysterious new co-op test track and once again match wits with GLaDOS. The DLC also features a single player and co-op Challenge Mode, and leaderboards to compare Challenge Mode scores with friends and the Portal community.
Expect the content to appear in a, probably, hefty download in your Steam library sometime Wednesday along with the Playstation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace.

The Getdown
Larry Trask / Thursday, Aug. 8, 2013 @ 10:22 a.m. / In Studio
On Monday, July 29th, we were fortunate enough to have many very talented musicians drop by the KHUM studio. Included were percussionist Bill Summers, DJ Logic, drummer Pete Ciotti, keyboard player Brian Swizlo and bassmaster Drew Mohr. Calling themselves "The Getdown" after the regular Monday night event at the Jambalaya, they improvised a four-song set that left the KHUM studio walls in flames and our broadcast gear melted down, along with our faces.
Here's a video of the event made by Don Husman for In Human Creation.

The US Dollar Index rose during the session on Tuesday, using the 81 handle as a bit of a springboard to go higher. As you can see on the chart, I have drawn a "neckline" in this potential inverted head and shoulders pattern. It is because of this that I believe if we break above the highs back in January, this market is going to go much, much higher. It might be difficult for this market to do that between now and the nonfarm payroll numbers, but I am definitely paying attention to this.
With that being the case, I think that buying contracts in the US Dollar Index futures market might be the way to go. This is a type of market that can make a lot of money for the trader if you're able to take advantage of it.
There are other avenues to pursue.
There are other avenues out there that you can pursue in order to play the US Dollar Index. After all, 40% of the value is attributed to the EUR/USD pair, so in a way can use that. If this contract goes higher, it's very likely that the EUR/USD pair will go lower. However, there are also binary options that you can get involved in, as well as normal options. Let us not forget the CFD markets as well, as the line of Forex brokers now offer the US Dollar Index on the Metatrader platform. With that, there are plenty of ways to play this particular setup, and because of this I will certainly be paying attention or the next week or so.
I'm the first to admit that the latest move has been fairly parabolic though, and as a result a pullback is almost necessary at this point in time. That being the case though, I am not willing to sell that pullback, rather I look at it as a potential buying opportunity on the pickup of momentum to break out to the upside and above the 81.40 level. Selling at this point time is something I simply have no interest in doing.

text: Amidst the 2G controversy, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's statement of providing transparency and accountability in public life seems highly impossible. Transforming this thought into reality is a big challenge and we cannot set a time frame for it. This thought can only be realized if the people sitting at the helm of affairs show sincerity and dedication in enforcing it. Unfortunately the government lacks that will. How long will the Prime Minister make promises of bringing about legal and administrative changes in curbing corruption in public life? If the Prime Minister is to be believed, the government has done a lot in this direction in the last one year. But the fact remains that neither the Lokpal Bill nor the Judicial Accountability Bill or the Whistle Blower Bill could be passed in the Parliament. Supreme Court's verdict of cancelling 122 2G licenses has further strengthened the fact that the government is least concerned with the scam. The culprits of the 2G scam were brought to book only after the intervention of the Judiciary. If the Judiciary had not meddled, A Raja would have still been the Telecom Minister and the government would have been defending him. It is annoying and shameful that the UPA is still not ready to accept its mistakes. It is not only about corruption in 2G but various other scams like the CWG. There was rampant corruption during the preparation of the CWG but the government instead of confronting the situation was sitting as a mute spectator. The government should also realize that the reputation of the country has taken a beating due to these scams. All the promises made by the UPA to curb corruption looks far from reality. Time and again the Prime Minister has assured the people to bring about administrative changes to contain corruption but it is difficult to understand that why were the suggestions made by the second administrative commission on corruption put on the backburner? The commission had made these suggestions during the first term of the UPA. A group of ministers was also constituted to look into the suggestions made by the commission but no one knows what has happened to it and what is the GoM doing regarding this? Though the government has brought about some changes to curb corruption but it is difficult to say whether these reforms will be successful.

I would like to thank The Lancaster News for printing the photo of the veterans monument that will be built in Heath Springs. The caption with the picture tells readers that the Heath Springs Veterans Association plans to honor its veterans with an 18-foot monument.
As Paul Harvey would say, "Now for the rest of the story."
This will be a veterans monument and not a memorial. The monument is for all Lancaster County veterans of all branches of service from the Spanish American War to the present day, which includes active-duty servicemen and women.

Bleak Future for Carmakers as Rupee Plummets: Corporate India
Siddharth Philip and Karthikeyan SundaramMaruti Suzuki India Ltd. and Hyundai Motor Co., the nation's biggest carmakers, will have to raise prices of vehicles sold overseas to maintain profitability as a volatile rupee raises costs amid stagnating demand at home.
India's currency gained 2.2 percent at 9:41 a.m. in Mumbai after plummeting the most in two decades to a record yesterday. A further depreciation will increase imported component costs and worsen a sales slump in India, R. Sethuraman, Hyundai Motor India Ltd.'s director for finance, said in an e-mail. The unit of South Korea's largest automaker purchases as much as 40 percent of its raw materials from overseas depending on the car model, according to Sethuraman.
Automobile companies are rushing to increase use of local parts as the rupee's drop raises costs and deliveries decline in Asia's third-largest car market. Higher export prices may stymie sales overseas, while a cash squeeze engineered by the Indian central bank to stem the rupee's decline prompts banks to raise interest rates, deterring buyers at home.
"Overall the picture looks bleak in the Indian car market as there are no pull factors for buyers," Maruti Chief Financial Officer Ajay Seth said in an interview. "Nobody expected the sudden rupee depreciation, so there's no short term measures that we can take to avoid the pain."
Maruti is delaying a plan to build a new plant in Gujarat, said Chairman R.C. Bhargava, after deliveries in India declined for nine straight months through July. Hyundai, which exports 40 percent of its production, is seeking newer markets in Latin America and Africa, Sethuraman said.
'Limited Advantage'
"While the rupee depreciation has a limited advantage in the short term, continuous depreciation will have a reverse impact on pricing in the export market," said Sethuraman. Rising raw material costs "may lead to a further drop in already stagnating demand in the domestic market."
Maruti's profit growth may slow to 13 percent in the year ending March 31, according to a median estimate of eight analysts compiled by Bloomberg. Net income rose 47 percent in the same period a year earlier. Overseas sales accounted for about 10 percent of the company's revenue last fiscal year.
Shares of the Indian unit of Suzuki Motor Corp. have dropped 17 percent this year. They rose 0.2 percent to 1,239.05 rupees in Mumbai as the benchmark S&P BSE Index rose 0.7 percent.
Payments Crisis
Yesterday's drop extended the rupee's fall to more than 20 percent, the biggest loss since a balance of payments crisis in 1991 forced authorities to pledge the nation's gold reserves for loans from the International Monetary Fund. The advances prompted India to open the economy to foreign investment.
The rupee slumped 3.9 percent to an unprecedented 68.8450 per dollar yesterday in Mumbai, the biggest drop since 1993, according to prices from local banks compiled by Bloomberg. The currency jumped today after the RBI said it will sell dollars to state oil refiners to arrest the drop.
"As far as domestic car demand is concerned, I'd be negative on that for sometime at least," said Shaukat Ali, a New Delhi-based analyst at Quantum Securities Pvt. The falling rupee will boost oil import costs, which will "lead to rise in fuel prices. That way it's going to impact very badly," he said.
To lure customers, carmakers from Maruti and General Motors Co. to Volkswagen AG and Ford Motor Co. are introducing new models and offering discounts. Maruti introduced a new version of its Wagon R model called the Stingray while Ford has started selling the Ecosport, a compact SUV.
Growth Estimate
Maruti also plans to cut use of imported parts by 3 percentage points this year, CFO Seth said on a July 25 conference call with analysts. The company imported 19.5 percent of its raw material as of March 31, he said.
India's gross domestic product probably rose 4.6 percent in the three months ended June 30, the least since the first quarter of 2009, according to the median of 41 estimates in a Bloomberg survey before official data due tomorrow.
Slowing growth and rising borrowing costs may keep buyers away from showrooms this year as well, said Quantum's Ali. Annual sales in the year through March 31 fell 6.7 percent to 1.89 million units, the biggest decline since 2001, according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers.
"The whole economy will suffer dramatically" due to the rupee's drop, said Adi Godrej, chairman of Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. "There will be huge inflation, which will lead to high interest costs and a whole vicious cycle will be created."
Auto Loans
HDFC Bank Ltd., India's biggest lender by market value, raised the base rate by 20 basis points to 9.8 percent this month after the central bank increased two interest rates. Banks are not allowed to lend at rates below the base rate. Kotak Mahindra Prime Ltd., the auto finance unit of billionaire Uday Kotak, forecasts no growth in loans this year.
"The sentiment is so poor that no one wants to buy a large ticket discretionary like a car," said Sumit Bali, director at Kotak Mahindra Prime. "One can't rule out another rate hike."
Vehicle loans grew 24.2 percent in twelve months to June 28, data compiled by central bank show. That's unchanged from the same period a year earlier, data show.
Lack of demand prompted Maruti to delay the Gujarat plant that was scheduled to begin production in the 12 months starting April 1, 2015 and was expected to boost the company's capacity to 2 million cars by that fiscal year, Maruti said last year.
"If anyone can tell me when the car industry will turn around or even show signs of turning around, I will tell you when we will begin building the Gujarat Plant," said Maruti's Bhargava said.

And so goes the saying:
"If the blind lead the blind, they both fall into the ditch together"
That will tell anyone all they need to know as to whether the Chiefs are serious about being a playoff contending team or just being a political organization only interested in collecting the profits if Pioli is retained.
I, for one, will not be attending any more Chiefs games, as long as Potato Head is the GM. He can't even begin to be compared to the best GM the Chiefs ever had which was Don Klosterman.
If Pioli is retained, all I can say is good luck Chiefs and Chiefs fans as far as any post-season success is concerned --- you're going to need it.
That, my dear, is a crock of BS. In 2011, Andy Dalton was projected as a late 1st rounder, early 2nd rounder & went just 9 picks later at #35 after they selected Baldwin at #26 and they could have easily justified taking Dalton at #26 after trading down. The Chiefs had no viable backup for Cassel or anyone to challenge him at the time. Dalton was a productive college player and a Rose Bowl winner.
Also was Pioli willing to take a chance on Jimmy Clausen with one of those two 2nd round picks in 2010, even though Clausen had played under the new Chiefs OC Weis in 2009 and had a great year?
Just what "QB of talent caliber" is Pioli seeking when he trades the #34 overall pick in 2009 for a backup QB that never started a college game & pays him franchise QB money, without Cassel proving first that he was worthy of it in KC?
A blind man with a cane can see the contradiction, here.

Mark Anderson
The coffee table
My first sale
My first website
Embarassing childhood photo
In 1997, having graduated with a music degree, Mark Anderson moved, married his college sweetheart, and landed his first real job selling screws. Finding a music career impractical, and the business world uninspiring, he began drawing cartoons at the living room coffee table in his spare time.
He had always loved cartoons, and had contributed to his high school and college newspapers. The creative outlet was exactly what he was looking for, and he began submitting cartoons to magazines.
It was a rough start, but Anderson refined his talents and soon sold his first cartoon. Seeing himself in print, and check in hand, Anderson set about reinventing himself as a cartoonist.
Over the years, his day jobs changed, but his cartoon routine stayed the same. Working early mornings, lunch hours, and late into the night, he continued drawing, submitting, and building his website, Andertoons.com. After their first child was born, Mark quit his day job to become a stay-at-home dad and draw cartoons full time.
Mark now runs Andertoons from his studio, where he sits at a drafting table. He lives in the Chicago area with his wife, son, daughter, dog, cats, and one well-used coffee table.
Cartoonist Mark Anderson lives in the Chicago area with his wife, their children, two cats, a dog and several dust bunnies.
Mercer Business magazine has had the pleasure of including Mark's cartoons every month for the past three years... I have had many a reader come up to me and say that's the first thing they turn to in the magazine! I love picking through his vast catalogue every month, and sometimes find it hard to choose just one!

The San Diego Chargers today established the following process that will lead to the hiring of both a new general manager and a new head coach:
- Chargers President Dean Spanos has retained Ron Wolf, the former Green Bay Packers General Manager, as a consultant to advise the Chargers throughout the general manager and head coach hiring process.
- Spanos and Wolf will be joined by longtime Chargers executives Ed McGuire and John Spanos on the four-person working group that will be responsible for conducting all general manager and head coach interviews. The new general manager will join the process in the interviews for the new head coach.
- Throughout the interview process the Chargers will not be releasing or commenting upon the names of potential interviewees. This is because some job candidates are still employed by NFL teams participating in the upcoming playoffs, and the Chargers will keep the names confidential so as not to cause a distraction for those teams and job candidates.
- The goal of the interview process is to hire a general manager first, and then a head coach to follow, although the working group will remain as flexible as necessary to attract the best possible candidates for both positions.
- The hiring process will begin immediately, with the Chargers today beginning to seek permission from NFL playoff teams to begin speaking with candidates employed by those teams.

A multiplicity of art styles drawn in innumerable hues covers the walls and fences of the alleyway, providing the (mostly) consenting community with a dynamic gallery of homegrown creations. If that's still too restrained for your tastes, join a million other revelers at the annual San Francisco Pride Celebration and Parade (usually held on the last full weekend of June). It's the biggest LGBT event in the country, and, as such, one of the biggest tsunamis of color on the planet.
From a distance, Willemstad's waterfront looks positively unreal, like a doll city plunked down into the Caribbean. The oldest section of Curaçao's capital dates back to 1634, and the commingling of Dutch architecture and a Caribbean palette has resulted in a riotous cityscape rivaling the town's own Carnival for vibrancy. One island legend claims that the painting began in earnest when a Dutch governor proscribed white houses, believing the tropical sun's powerful glare a medical risk. See the buildings up close and then cross the Swinging Old Lady (the local name for the pontoon-supported, 1888 Queen Emma Bridge) for a view from the across the river. Gouverneur de Rouville restaurant has a terrace with the perfect vantage point (the wide selection of rums is also a plus).
At Longyearbyen's latitude, about the only warm things around are the rusty reds of many of this coal-mining town's homes. The capital of the Svalbard archipelago lies a full 12 degrees north of the Arctic Circle—which means it's not just Nordic, it's the most Nordic of all Nordic lands (according to its proud inhabitants, anyway). The rows of identically constructed homes—done up in rich, Crayola oranges, blues, and reds—stand out starkly from the snow-strewn hills and crevasses of Longyearbyen's otherworldly surroundings. The entrances to some defunct mines remain open to visitors, with Mine No. 2B being particularly endorsed. "As a matter of fact," Norway's official tourism guide blithely asserts, "this mine is where Santa Claus lives." Those rosy homes? That's where the elves work.
Settled by the successors of African and South Asian slaves brought by the Dutch beginning in the 1500s, and subsequently influenced by the migration of Islam, Cape Town's Bo-Kaap district has over time developed into a candyland of lemon, lime, and grape-tinged houses. For more on the neighborhood's past, head to the Bo-Kaap Museum, housed in a historic building largely unchanged from its original 1760s form. Then trek up Wale Street and turn off onto Chiappini Street for a particularly striking row of Dutch and Georgian terraces, cheery aquas and pistachio greens, and glimpses of the surrounding cloud-draped hills.
For a once-shattered city, Berlin has a reputation as an art destination that hinges on a somber irony: The postwar apportioning that divided the city into East and West was, and is, a driving force for its creative spirit. The East Side Gallery, slapped onto a .8-mile remnant of the Berlin Wall, displays the political and occasionally absurdist imagery of a world torn asunder—a vibrant visual paean to a society in flux. A rich collection of Berlin's art resides in the city's 180 museums, but the real draw for color junkies is the public art scene. Pieces like Jeff Koons's sculpted, ocean-blue Balloon Flower populate Berlin's plazas, while unauthorized artworks—some, like the artist Blu's mask-ripping mural in Kreuzberg, massive in scale—adorn urban surfaces everywhere. The Tacheles art house, converted from a derelict building built early in the 20th century, is a gallery inside and out: Combining planned exhibitions and the colossal canvas of the building's own façade, Tacheles remains a work in progress, just like its chameleonic mother metropolis.

One down, 23 to go.
Northern Illinois held its first practice of fall camp Monday afternoon at Huskie Stadium. The Huskies will hold a total of 24 workouts between Monday and Saturday, Aug. 24.
NIU practiced in jerseys and helmets Monday, and the Huskies won't be in full pads until Friday.
Here are a few tidbits from the team's first August workout:
• Redshirt-freshman Matt Williams, who was a quarterback last season, is now at wide receiver. He's athletic, and played some wideout at Geneva High School, so he could be a good fit there.
This means the backup QB competition will be between sophomore Matt McIntosh and redshirt-freshman Drew Hare.
• Freshman Aregeros Turner was previously listed as a running back on NIU's roster, but was listed as a wide receiver on the fall camp roster given to media on Monday. That's where he took all his reps as well.
• Tyler Loos is healthy after missing the final three games of last season with a broken tibia. He took some reps with the first team offensive line.
• Freshman running back Jordan Huff took some second-team reps Monday. He's a guy I could see playing as a true freshman. With Akeem Daniels out early on, guys like him will have an increased workload at practice.
• After seeing the new scoreboard up close, it looks real nice. The ribbon boards on each side of the stadium also look completed, and the once-white goal posts are now a neon-yellowish color.

Brown's Budget Proposal Gains Support
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
Budget talks inside the state Capitol have hit a snag, but external support for Governor Jerry Brown's proposal is growing. Tuesday the Silicon Valley Leadership Group announced its support for Brown's plan to cut most sectors of government and to extend several tax increases for five years.
Carl Guardino is CEO and President of the group. He said Brown is taking the right approach.
"Those tax extensions touch all of our lives and livelihoods in a way that's fair, based on what we can afford," Guardino said. "We think that's best. We think it's much better than the approach of 'I think this is really important to me so I want you to pay for it.' If it's important to California then we should all have skin in the game."
Other business groups, including the Los Angeles-area Chamber of Commerce support the Governor's plan too. Brown also announced that several law enforcement groups have endorsed his proposal to shift more responsibility for programs to local governments.
Yesterday, a group of Republicans sent Brown a letter saying that their budget talks had reached an impasse.

NEW YORK (AP) — Revis Island is relocating to Tampa Bay.
The New York Jets have traded star cornerback Darrelle Revis to the Buccaneers for this year's No. 13 overall draft pick and another selection next year.
The Buccaneers announced the deal on the team's Twitter page Sunday, saying Revis agreed to a new six-year contract that, according to a person familiar with the situation, is worth $96 million — but with no guaranteed money. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the teams hadn't announced financial terms.
The Jets will also receive a conditional draft pick, either a third- or fourth-rounder, next year.
Revis arrived in Tampa on Sunday to take a physical with the Buccaneers, who wanted to check out his surgically repaired left knee. He passed the physical and then agreed to contract terms with the Bucs, who then completed the deal with the Jets.
The front page of the Buccaneers' official website posted a big picture of Revis in what appears to be a Tampa Bay jersey with the words: "Treasure Island. Darrelle Revis (CB). It's a Bucs Life."
Tampa Bay opens the season at — that's right — the Jets.
Trade talk has been swirling for months involving Revis, with the Buccaneers thought all along to be the most serious suitor.
Coach Rex Ryan's Jets currently have the ninth overall pick in the draft that starts Thursday, and now the 13th pick, so new general manager John Idzik will be busy early in the first round.
The trade leaves Antonio Cromartie as the Jets' top cornerback, a role he flourished in last season with Revis sidelined by a knee injury. And 2010 first-rounder Kyle Wilson mostly likely would be stepping in as the other starter.
The Jets could also target a cornerback — perhaps Alabama's Dee Milliner or Florida State's Xavier Rhodes — in the first round.
For the Bucs, adding Revis improves a secondary that already includes cornerback Eric Wright and safeties Mark Barron and recently signed Dashon Goldson. Tampa Bay finished last in pass defense last season.
The 27-year-old Revis was entering the last season of his four-year contract signed in 2010, but was looking for a big payday that would make him one of the highest-paid defensive players in the league. A clause in that deal prevented the Jets from using the franchise or transition tag on him next year, so if he likely would have become a free agent in 2014.
As the Jets weighed whether to try to sign him to a contract extension, lose him to free agency next offseason or deal him for high draft picks, Revis was the subject of rampant trade rumors since last season ended. Complicating things was the fact Revis is coming off a serious injury. Revis tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last September against Miami, and underwent surgery the next month. He has been rehabbing since, and has indicated in interviews he expects to be ready for the start of the regular season.
Against his former team.

The early bird may get the worm, but Camila Barrera Daza and boyfriend Kristian Kalva got the best deal by being among the last, not the first.
In the final minutes of the Saturday farmers market near their apartment in the Vila Madalena neighborhood of São Paulo, the couple negotiated with a vendor for four plump passion fruits. The asking price was about $2.25, but Kalva paid $1.40 for the fruit.
As a two-year resident of São Paulo, I often found myself in Kalva's shoes — haggling over such things as tomatoes or a handmade rug — when navigating the city's expansive circuit of farmers and artisanal markets. Though they're popular with bargain-hunting locals, the feiras also provide visitors with a good introduction to Brazilian culture and food.
The couple's late arrival is typical of veteran deal-hunters. Farmers markets are relatively calm affairs until the last hour, when vendors bark out newly slashed prices so they can make room for the produce they'll buy the next morning. The yelling injects the markets with an entertaining, buzzed energy.
Even early in the day, vendors are open to bargaining, but it should be done the Brazilian way. "There are people who immediately try to take over the negotiation,'" said fruit stand worker Juarez Sampaio. "A Brazilian won't accept it. Speak with a smile."
Don't speak Portuguese? Indicate numbers with your fingers or carry a calculator. Falling back on high school Spanish helps; the words for numbers in both languages are similar but you'll need to remember the exchange rate because you'll be negotiating in Brazilian reais (the plural of real).
Vila Madalena's weekly market, just one of the 888 farmers markets in the city, is my favorite. It's set in the middle of bars and boutiques in converted houses, and it boasts diverse produce and prime people-watching.
Limit yourself to a light breakfast before coming here. Vendors are competitive, often forcing fruit samples upon you if you as much as glance at their goods. It's hard to balk, though, with produce this delicious — papaya, jaca (jackfruit), goiaba (guava), caju (cashew apple, whence the nut comes, but don't try to get at it — the shell has a resin that irritates skin), pitaya (dragonfruit), graviola (soursop), jaboticaba and pinha (sugar apple). Also check out local varieties of familiar fruit: The Bahian mango is impossibly succulent, and the slender, sweet maça banana may provoke nighttime cravings.
Neighborhood demographics dictate the starting prices. For example, most shoppers I spoke with at the Haddock Lobo Sunday market in the ritzy Jardins district agreed that produce there is pricier than surrounding areas' markets but said its central location was unmatched.
Paulistas, as residents are called, say a feira experience isn't complete without a stop at the pastel tent, though a health-conscious American sweating in the humidity of summer may think otherwise. Ubiquitous at farmers markets, pasteis are fried dough pockets stuffed with fillings such as meat or cheese. After scoring three ripe mangoes for $2.80 from a seller packing away his tables at the parking lot of the Pacaembú soccer stadium, I joined the long line at the award-winning Pastel da Maria stand. I ordered my favorite — dried meat (carne seca) with cheese, and washed it down with refreshing sugarcane juice mixed with pineapple.
Artisanal fairs
At the Liberdade artisanal fair in São Paulo's Little Tokyo, visitors gorge on delicacies; giant gyozas, shrimp-stuffed tempura discs and freshly made imagawayaki cakes with purplish-red gooey azuki bean paste interiors that cost about $1.40 each. Liberdade also features a diversity of services and goods, including Japanese fortunetelling and origami mobiles.
The city's oldest fair, at Praça da República, launched in 1954 as a marketplace for stamp and coin collectors and still happens every Sunday. The draw is the fine-arts area along the park's northern perimeter.
"The plaza is traditional [for artists], and many of them rose to fame from here," said Geraldo Magela, who with his wife, Marlene, paints scenes from their native Paraíba state. Before he became well known, naïve artist Waldomiro de Deus sold his canvases directly to the public here in the '70s and '80s.
São Paulo also has a network of antiques fairs. The 30-year-old MASP antiques fair, underneath the São Paulo Museum of Art, has 120 stands featuring unexpected finds from around the globe, such as a heavily detailed leather and silver belt from Yemen and 19th century German porcelain medicine droppers.
But unlike at farmers markets, vendors here drive a hard bargain. "You need to negotiate. If you pay cash, the discount should be 25%, 30%," said shopper Walerio Giacaglia. Despite that advice, he was able to wrangle only 15% off an ornate silver bracelet from Mexico.
Some art and antiques fairs, including the sophisticated Saturday market at Praça Benedito Calixto, have evolved into social affairs for friends. Here, the young crowd tends to browse (rather than buy) antique chandeliers, novelty flattened glass bottles and vintage clothing before wandering into the bars, restaurants and boutiques on the market's periphery. Live chorinho music — a traditional Brazilian sound often compared to ragtime — and demonstrations of the Afro-Brazilian martial arts dance called capoeira complete the scene.
The Sunday Bixiga fair in the old Italian district of Bela Vista is a bit like Benedito Calixto, a cheaper alternative to the MASP fair but also a place to stroll the aisles with pals, perusing vintage matchbooks and retro '70s furniture.
The day I went, I stopped at a used vinyl stand and selected four albums, marked at $4.50 each, from música popular brasileira legends Chico Buarque and Tim Maia. Smiling as widely as I could, I put my Brazilian-style bargaining skills to the test.
"Thirteen for all," the seller said.
Without a further word, I handed over my reais.
Sometimes you have to take advantage of a deal when you spot one.

And no at the bolded. This prototype appears to have a Vita like d-pad aka the best d-pad since the Saturn. This alone makes it better for fighting games. Give me a Vita d-pad Sony. |

Well if you are going to change some things, glad that the design is still fairly familiar. Have thrown a lot of new things for sure. Looks like a move connection, a speaker or microphone feature, headphone jack, and some sort of mini-touch screen feature. Honestly I'd rather get a hold of the thing to figure out how comfortable it'd be.
Have seen a lot of freaking out about it, but doesn't seem like a big deal. Will have to see what finalized version they have of this with the PS4.

Not sure who started that nonsense on the intaweb, it is the current devkit controller. No company will ever send out prototypes of anykind to other parties. And seeing those leaks, the pictures are either taken by a 3rd party dev or some mad devkit collector.
Devkits have almost nothing in common with the retail versions at all. The only machines similar to the retail versions are the test/debug machines, see playstation test models or nintendo debug kits, which in the pass were refereed by gaming sites as devkits, for some unknown reason. |

When you buy something from the Nintendo Shop Channel, a small piece of data called a ticket is stored in your Wii's memory alongside your download. As long as you have this ticket, you can download your purchase as many times as you want. In essence, it is your proof of purchase. If your Wii dies, it takes the ticket with it. If you buy a new Wii or get a replacement, it won't have this ticket so you won't be able to redownload your purchases.

There's a bit of great news here though: since the new ps4 is by all accounts just a decent current gaming pc ports will be amazing from now on. As a PC gamer (mostly) I welcome this news and so does my wallet
ps: I beg to differ but the best dpad ever made was the mega drive/genesis one (or maybe the Saturn one)

Holy cr@p this system is a monster! 8GB of GDDR5 RAM. I really hope the system is affordable...
Some of the "social" features are kind of off-putting to me. i hope those parts don't take up much system resources, so we can get really visually stunning looking solo games, like RPG, without coop gimmicks and that kind of thing. |

Just reading some news articles, Sony is already shooting itself in the foot if they don't fix things up- it appears to not be backwards compatible, or at least can't play PS3 games... as for PS2 or PS1, I haven't seen anything about those... yet
And if this isn't changed, if Sony adds this on top of not being able to play used games 9which again, nothing was said about )... Sony is going to alienate so many people that they might as well just go out of business

The whole no-used-game thing IMO has been blown out of proportion based on nothing other than pure speculation based on filed patents. Nobody will be THAT stupid, it'd be a shoot-self-in-face feature, as the other side will basically win by default simply by not having that feature. The showing is rather short, not much was shown tbh... I did lol at SE's announcement of an announcement though |

But seriously, no UI and no system showcase? Is this what press conferences amount to these days? Like destiny's, all concepts and bullet points, a little graphical showcase. I'm honestly kinda disappointed, since there were almost zero surprises (asides from the awesome looking new inFAMOUS) I'm thrilled to know its finally coming, the gaikai stuff sounds really really awesome, and man, some of those demos (that killzone draw distance, watchdog's demo, the deep down render) really hits the "next-gen" look, but I wished they had something more revolutionary to physically show off. I blame the leaks, takes away so much of the steam from this. Last edited by com_gwp; 2013-02-20 at 20:31. |

I thought the FF thing was hilarious. "Hey guys, see you at E3 "
All in all it wasn't bad. Through out several incoming games, confirmed a lot of speculation as to what the hardware is, and the goals. They got the intro out and now it's the wait for E3 and more stuff. On the positive nothing about no-used games. I'll say the ability to try a game out before paying for it is interesting. Therefore can try out some games that way....before walking out to the store and getting a physical version . I'm still not buying much in terms of digital games.

Yume Bitsu – "Golden Vessyl of Sound" (KLP 137)
Wednesday, June 1st, 2011
A Golden Vessyl of Sound is the perfect description of Yume Bitsu's music on their fourth full length album. The group composes ambient soundscapes that take the listener to a psychedelic musical plateau. While a few tracks on the album go for over 8 minutes ("Song Six" is over 18 min.), the sound never gets dull as they fill up the space with pleasant melodies and creative percussion. This Yume Bitsu's second album on K, and was released in 2002. Yume Bitsu is no longer together as a group, but vocalist/guitarist, Adam Forkner is now creating music under the name, White Rainbow. VVRSSNN is another one of his projects that is worth checking out. Drummer Jason Anderson also has lots of good music of his own, and under the band name, Wolf Colonel. Golden Vessyl of Sound will transport your mind to a mellow place and definitely please your ears.

Mickadeit: Memories return at Catholic school
Costa Mesa Mayor Jim Righeimer has been telling me for several years about the institution that is Sister Mary Vianney Ennis of St. John the Baptist Catholic School.
She has been there since 1962 and principal since 1975. Righeimer's kids attend, and he has become a fan of this loving-but-no-nonsense nun who has taught two generations of Costa Mesans. He decided to give her the Mayor's Award for longtime contributors to the city.
When he approached Sister Vianney, he told me, she would accept only if he gave it to the whole school as well. So at Tuesday's City Council meeting, both will be honored. By the way, he asked, have I been to a traditional morning assembly at a Catholic school?
Only every day between 1965 to 1973, roughly the duration of the Vietnam War.
"You're going to love it," he said, inviting me to the daily assembly run by Sister Vianney. "It's like 1958 again."
The school rules state: "The parking lot gates close at 7:53 a.m. – students arriving after this time are too late to be in their classroom lineup on time (without running) and must enter through the front office and be marked tardy." I well remember having to run the office gauntlet of disapproving eyes and tsk-tsks.
I arrive Thursday morning at 7:15. I immediately call Righeimer. "Where are you?" I asked. He and his three daughters eventually roll in with time to spare, although his daughter Ellie pipes up, "When our dad takes us, we're usually late." I'll bet.
The bells ring. We make the assembly in time – though not everyone does. Standing erect in a black coat over a white sweater, a silver-haired eminence – unmistakably a nun even without the habit – takes notice of those still scrambling to line up on the blacktop. Sister Vianney.
"Just because you got to the gate at five minutes to 8 doesn't mean you are on time," she says over the hand-held microphone. "It means you are late."
This was feeling familiar. Nuns have a way of making you feel late even when you are early.
I don't know whether every school in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles still opens its day this way, but both St. John the Baptist and my old school, La Purisima, were in the archdiocese in the 1960s, and remarkably little has changed about the morning rite. I suspect that some of it has to do with Sister Vianney being there the whole time.
The boys still wear blue or white shirts and dark slacks (or shorts), and the girls still wear plaid skirts. They stand in rows by class, and they open with the Sign of the Cross. The pastor, the Rev. Augustine Puchner, reads from Luke and then discusses why we sacrifice during Lent. "We deny ourselves certain things so we might try and find our true self. ... To help us find what is truly valuable, truly important. Lent helps us to do that."
Two students, a boy and a girl, lead the school in Pledge to the Cross, the Pledge of Allegiance, and then a patriotic song. Today it is "My Country Tis of Thee."
After this, the latecomers are released from some sort of assemblage purgatory and allowed to join their classes. I stare as they scurry. Thank God that's not me.
I notice one significant difference from 40 years ago. Students wear sneakers. This was strictly forbidden in my day. Caught once, I pleaded poverty.
"I don't have any dress shoes," I told the nun who stopped me in the hallway.
"What about your brown wingtips?" she said.
My brown wingtips??? How did she know about those?
She wasn't even my nun. Did she have encyclopedic knowledge of the footwear of every one of the 300 students in the school? Years later, I'm still mystified, and my only answer is that she must have thought it a fair bet that any Catholic boy was likely to own a pair of brown wingtips.
Anyway, Sister Vianney now begins reading the names of a few dozen high achievers. They are applauded as they come to the front and receive a certificate from the priest. At the conclusion, Sister Vianney admonishes, "Quite a few of you did not say thank you to Father Augustine."
Being on time. Manners. I remember this.
Tomorrow: I'm granted a brief audience with Sister Vianney.
