The Independent Florida Alligator's lawsuit against UF is close to being dropped, thanks to a compromise that leaves some of the student newspaper's distinctive orange racks on campus.
The Independent Florida Alligator's lawsuit against the University of Florida is close to being dropped, thanks to a compromise that leaves some of the student newspaper's distinctive orange racks on campus.
UF had planned to remove all the paper's news racks and replace them with black modular units owned by the university. UF's board of trustees heard Monday about changes to a university regulation, which allow some private racks to remain and which also create an appeals process for decisions involving the distribution of printed materials on campus.
If the board of trustees approves the changes next week, the Alligator plans to drop its federal lawsuit against UF, said Thomas Julin, a Miami-based attorney representing the paper. The Alligator had several concerns addressed but remains worried about the loss of its racks, he said.
"Both sides are giving something, which is what makes a compromise," he said.
The compromise requires the Alligator to remove 24 racks but allows more than 40 to remain, he said. UF General Counsel Jamie Keith said the deal also adds more detail to the regulations about the process by which publications can be distributed on campus.
"It just provides a lot more transparency, which is something we very much wanted to do," she said.
UF trustees approved regulations on printed materials in 2009, leading to the installation of modular units since that time. University officials had said the switch was for aesthetic reasons and safety concerns about racks being blown away in major storms.
Facing an August deadline to remove the remainder of its racks, the Alligator's nonprofit owner filed a lawsuit against UF in August seeking to overturn the plan on free-speech grounds. The changes to the regulations remove some vagueness that gave the university too much leeway to make decisions based on content, Julin said.
A study by retired UF economics professor David Denslow was inconclusive about whether the switch to racks would hurt distribution of the paper. Julin said it would have been hard to persuade a court otherwise, and the Alligator's staff will continue to monitor the issue.
"There still is concern at the Alligator about what the actual impact will be," he said.

'Hodag Challenge' covers 54 miles by canoe, overnight
Submitted: 06/14/2013
Three Lakes
- Imagine racing by canoe, for 14 hours, OVERNIGHT... THAT is the Hodag Challenge. It's an annual kick-off to summer for camp counselors and staff at HoneyRock. Racers cover 54 miles, nonstop. They start at HoneyRock, about 10 miles north of Three Lakes, and follow the Rainbow flowage and Wisconsin River into Boom Lake. That takes most canoers 12 to 14 hours. The racers take off between 6:00 and 7:00 pm tonight. The first racers will start pulling into Boom Lake between 7:00 and 8:00 tomorrow morning. Newswatch 12's Shardaa Gray will be there to cover the race.

As for "neglecting" the ODI team - I don't really think so. There are countless factors at fault for England's ODI problems - lack of talent being the main one, but poor scheduling, countless injuries and genuine selection mistakes (not I-don't-care-let's-just-pick-anyone) also play a part.

The Law of American FederalismThis seminar will explore scholarly literature covering a range of issues in the law of American federalism. We will study both theoretical material relating to the design of federal systems and specific issues relating to the allocation of power between the federal government and the states in this country. State sovereign immunity and the anti-commandeering decisions will be among the doctrinal issues we cover. We will attempt to develop a sophisticated understanding of the merits and demerits of different approaches toward dividing power between the federal and state governments and to apply insights from the relevant theoretical literature to specific doctrinal problems.

When people saw Dottie Pepper trudging up the fairway at the Arnold Palmer Invitational this past weekend, she may have been mistaken for one of the golfers.
She attacks the fairways as an analyst/fairway reporter for NBC/Golf Channel just like she used to attack them as a Hall of Fame-caliber golfer on the LPGA Tour.
But that's Dottie.
She probably walks the dog back home in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., with that same intensity.
"No, when I am home, I'm home. I don't take any of this stuff with me. Married, dog, very comfortable, wonderful neighborhood," says Pepper, who retired from the tour in 1999 with 17 victories, three wins shy of Hall of Fame-status. "But when...

Annual Meeting Minutes 8/2011
Orlando Hackerspaces, Inc.
Held on (Date): August 27, 2011
The meeting was called to order at 2:15 p.m. Attending the meeting were the following members: Mack Hooper, Daniel Lewis, Dave Casey, Ian Cole, Aaron Cunningham, Chris Purola, Zane Pickett, Mike King, Kyle Wade, Anthony Morris, William Riggins, Tom Long, and Daniel Burroughs. Voting by proxy were the following members: Peter Doege.
Appointment of Ian Cole as Treasurer
Upon a properly made and seconded Motion it was unanimously RESOLVED that Ian Cole will serve as Treasurer. We thank Peter Doege for his service.
State of the Treasury
We currently have 20 members, contributing a total of approx. $920 per month. We have outstanding payments to Dave Casey for previous classes. Ian Cole will make payment to Dave once we have a final invoice.
We need to obtain both liability and Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance. Based on communication with an agent and other hackerspaces, we believe this will cost around $2000 per year. We need to get our financials together to submit to an agent. Ian and Mack will pursue this offline and bring it to the membership for approval at a later date.
Approval of Renewel of Registered Agent
It's time to renew our registered agent service. The cost for this service is $189 for the year. Upon a properly made and seconded Motion it was unanimously RESOLVED that we will pay National Registered Agents, Inc. the amount of $189 for their Services for the coming year.
Other Business
Classes have been netting us approx. $130 each time. We need to raise the cost of the kit to cover shipping and other costs. The class for September is scheduled.
We need to define a process for "mini classes" to be hosted at the lab and with a smaller group. A concern was raised about instructors charging for classes. Dave Casey mentioned that a model other groups follow is to charge for materials and anything above and beyond those costs get split between the instructor and the space. This was met by general approval from the membership. We will revisit this in the future. For now we will only allow members to host classes.
There is a concern about sales tax obligations when selling classes. Ian Cole will pursue this in his role as treasurer. Dave Casey will speak with our supplier, Adafruit, about just paying them sales tax.
There is a desire to participate in more group projects. There is some concern about assignment of IP rights. Ian Cole and Dave Casey are attending an open source hardware summit that might shed some light on the subject. We will revisit this in the future.
There is interest in a "soft hacking" class to play with embroidery and other crafts. We will schedule this in the near future.
Mike King raised a concern about a lack of proper safety equipment at the lab. We currently have one fire extinguisher. He would like to see us get eye wash stations for both spaces, as well as an additional fire extinguisher and laser safety goggles. It was resolved that he will come up with a comprehensive list including costs and will present that at the next monthly meeting for approval.
Dave Casey says that Tuesdays are less than ideal for open houses. Mack Hooper suggested holding open house once a month. It was suggested to clean up the contact info on the web page.
Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 3:15 p.m.
Certification of Secretary
I hereby Certify that these minutes were adopted by the board of directors at a properly called meeting with a quorum present.

Baby Jogger Pod Stroller Review and Pictures

Baby Jogger's Pod Offers Plenty of Options For Avid Outdoor Adventurers
Lace up your running shoes and prepare to sprint! With Summer's warm weather and plush outdoor surroundings, it's time to move Mama's exercise routine outdoors, and there's no better way to do it than with a jogging stroller. When Baby Jogger told us the company was preparing to introduce a new stroller that can convert from a jogger to a four-wheel stroller to a bike trailer, we couldn't wait to get our hands on it. The eye-catching Baby Jogger Pod chasis ($500) is equipped to handle three separate kits to make the transitions: a jogging kit ($60), a stroller kit ($80), and a trailer kit ($40). The company sent us all three kits to try on a beautiful Summer weekend, and while biking wasn't in the plans, the other two kits were put to the test. Here's how they fared.

BERLIN (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI said last August that his strength was diminishing and "not much more" could be expected from him as pontiff, according to a German journalist who interviewed him for a 2010 book in which Benedict said popes should in some circumstances consider resigning.
Journalist Peter Seewald recalled in an article for German weekly Focus published Saturday asking Benedict during a meeting last August at the pontiff's summer residence, Castel Gandolfo, what more could be expected of him and his papacy.
Seewald said Benedict replied: "From me? From me, not much more. I am an old man and my strength is running out. And I think what I have done is enough."
Asked whether he was considering resignation, Seewald said that Benedict responded: "That depends to what extent my physical strength will compel me to."
Benedict announced on Monday that he would resign Feb. 28, making him the first pope to step down in nearly 600 years.
The announcement stunned the world, but the pope had laid the groundwork for a possible resignation when Seewald interviewed him for his 2010 book, "Light of the World."
"If a pope clearly realizes that he is no longer physically, psychologically and spiritually capable of handling the duties of his office, then he has a right, and under some circumstances, also an obligation to resign," the book quoted Benedict as saying. He stressed, however, that resignation was not an option to escape a particular burden, such as the scandal over sexual abuse by clerics.
In Saturday's article, Seewald recalled asking the pope in August how badly the scandal over leaks of papal documents, in which the pope's ex-butler was convicted of aggravated theft, had affected him.
It "is not as though I were somehow falling into a kind of desperation or world-weariness — it is simply incomprehensible to me," Benedict said, according to Seewald.
Benedict said the affair had not thrown him off his stride or made him tired of his office, "because I think this can always happen," Seewald added.

In Nashua, health care, taxes, energy targeted at symposiumBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
January 07. 2013 11:05PM
NASHUA - Concerned about the implications of national health care reform and rising energy costs on New Hampshire businesses, local legislators and business owners joined forces on Monday to educate themselves on the topics.
About 45 state representatives from southern New Hampshire attended the 2013 Legislative Symposium on Monday at the Crowne Plaza hotel, meeting with about 50 business leaders and discussing upcoming legislation.
Hosted by the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce, the event included a panel of business professionals who addressed key issues to be discussed in Concord in the coming year.
Topics such as taxes on small and mid-size businesses, New Hampshire health care changes and rising energy costs were analyzed and debated during an informal, four-hour program.
"Other countries are doing things more successfully. We need to learn how to do that," said Tom Welden of Eaton and Berube Insurance.
Welden, one of the panelists, explained that France has one of the best health care systems with about $3,100 a year per capita compared to the United States, which is close to $7,000. Welden said the nation must steal and share ideas to enforce its health care system and make it affordable, claiming officials left out the "affordability" part of the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act .
With about 17 percent of the population in Nashua uninsured, Welden said those statistics are driving up the costs for people who do have health insurance.
"The health care act is extremely complex," he said, adding major provisions will take effect in 2014. "Many of the key decisions on health care will be made by you folks."
State legislators will need to decide what type of health insurance exchange the state will set up and whether federal money will be accepted, according to Welden, who encouraged the group to keep an open mind and not duplicate efforts.
"There will be many bills coming through to you about the health care exchange," he said. "This is a huge topic and a huge area."
Businesses will be greatly impacted by the major changes necessary to control the costs of health insurance, said Welden, adding that health care is the second highest cost for companies, with payroll being on top.
Don Hill of BAE Systems was another panelist at the Legislative Symposium, discussing the impact of expanding energy costs on New Hampshire businesses.
BAE Systems, the largest manufacturer in the state with 4,500 employees and five main facilities, spends about $24 million a year on energy costs, according to Hill.
However, over the last several years, the company was able to avoid about $5 million in energy costs through energy conservation measures and its automatic energy reduction initiative.
Still, Hill said the usage reductions can only partially offset energy cost increases, which include significant hikes in delivery rates.
"Energy is obviously a major operating cost," said Hill.
As delegates begin the legislative session, business leaders reminded them to think about their interests and how potential bills could hit their companies - whether small or large.
"We have a lot of newly elected officials," said Chris Williams, president of the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce and host of Monday's event.
He described the Legislative Symposium as an opportunity for new state representatives to meet and mingle with one another while discussing important business topics with real business people who have helped build the backbone of Greater Nashua's economy. ? firstname.lastname@example.com

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Birmingham-Southern College's new men's and women's swimming and diving teams will begin competition in fall 2012 using the Olympic-size pool at the new Birmingham Metro Crossplex for practice and home meets.
BSC Athletics Director Joe Dean Jr. announced the newest additions to the college's NCAA Division III sports offerings this week, bringing to 22 the number of varsity sports teams at the college.
Dean said that search is already under way for the college's first swimming and diving coach.
"There is a great interest in swimming and diving not only locally through high school and club teams, but also across the state and the South," said Dean. "We will provide an opportunity for many outstanding swimmers and divers to continue participating beyond high school and to receive one of the best educations in the country at the same time. It's a win-win for the college and the scholar-athletes.
"With the new Birmingham Metro Crossplex literally in our neighborhood, that was the first place we turned when looking for facilities for both practice and competition. We are excited about this new partnership with the city of Birmingham."
Dean said that he anticipates that Birmingham-Southern's first swimming and diving team will include about 20 student-athletes.
On July 1, 2012, Birmingham-Southern will become a member of a new athletics conference that includes Berry College, Centre College, Hendrix College, Millsaps College, Oglethorpe University, Rhodes College, and Sewanee: The University of the South. Six of the eight members of the new league will participate in swimming and diving.
"This was an easy decision to make," said BSC President Gen. Charles C. Krulak. "The costs of fielding swimming and diving teams are minimal, especially when you have a world-class natatorium right down the street from the college. In return, Birmingham-Southern furthers enriches the educational experience for all its students, and provides these young men and women opportunities in life that they just won't find at most other colleges and universities."
In addition to the new men's and women's swimming and diving teams, Birmingham-Southern also competes men's and women's basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field, and baseball, football, softball, and volleyball.

Easter Bunny Dump Truck Cake (583)
Have you ever been so excited about something that you're absolutely speechless? Well today, my husband Jesse and I presented Brian (our nephew) with his birthday cake….a dump truck full of Easter candy and a sugar Easter Bunny!
First he exclaimed, 'it's a truck!' then 'it's a dump truck!' then 'Wheels!' then 'It's the Easter Bunny!'…then he put his hand on his head with the priceless expression that maybe , just maybe, we blew his 2 year old mind! Yippy! I was so excited to see him so excited!
Happy Easter!
Here's Brian intently studying his cake right before we served it.

Long post follows cut from http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/the-25-most-anticipated-games-of-2013/
Ir's a big post, I could have cut the non xbox related material, and while it is a huge ask, please don't turn this into a console war or exclusives thread, there are better things to be talked about than such negativity. Such as which games interest you the most? Which ones are day 1 purchases? What are your hopes for some of the announced sequels?
With the end of 2012 in sight, we look ahead at 2013, and list the 25 games that we're most excited for in the coming year.
Although 2012 is still clinging to life, its days are numbered. But weep not for our dearly departed year. Embrace the future, and help us welcome 2013, a kinder, gentler year, completely free of political elections and Mayan doomsday prophecies.
2012 was an interesting one in gaming. It was transitional and informative, and nothing will ever be the same! Of course, that is true of every year, but 2012 more so than most. We saw the rise of the digitally distributed game, and the first volley in the next wave of console wars with the Wii U. We saw new franchises born, and established properties crumble. It was a wild year, and it paved the way for an even crazier 2013.
And so we look ahead to the games that will make the most waves heading into the new year. There are, of course, some mitigating factors to consider while viewing this list. Due to the nature of digitally distributed games, there very well may be one – or even several – groundbreaking new games that are released without physical media. That makes them harder to gage. So while you won't find any on this list, please note that we are more excited to see what comes via that medium than ever before.
The second thing to consider is that this is likely the last year of this generation of consoles. The Wii U has already been released, and the release schedule for Xbox 360 and PS3 games is suspicious, to say the least. The first part of the year is absolutely stacked with major franchises, but there hasn't been a single game officially announced for Q4. Not one. It's almost as if developers were waiting for something else to be announced first, something that will alter their own development. If that's too subtle, it means we think one, or both, of the other upcoming consoles will be released late in 2013. The next Xbox is almost certainly coming before the holidays, and the PS4 can't be too far behind.
So, what does that all mean? It means gaming fans should consider taking up a paper route for the next few months to earn enough money to purchase some of the biggest games of the year, all of which are looking to ship in a relatively tight time frame. There will be more games that will catch our eye throughout the year, but this list is reflective of the games that have been confirmed for 2013. There is almost certainly an EA shooter coming late in the year, probably Battlefield 4, but that doesn't have an official release window yet. Although there hasn't even been an official hint of it, there will probably be a new Assassin's Creed title this year. A new Call of Duty is inevitable, and odds are that it going to be Modern Warfare 4, but again that is conjecture and this list is focusing on definite releases. So with that in mind, we offer our list of the 25 games we are most anticipating for 2013.Confirmed Release Days/Months
DmC: Devil May Cry
(January 15; PS3, Xbox 360; Ninja Theory, Capcom)
Dante returns with a new emo look, but the same demon smacking attitude. The game is one-part prequel and one-part reboot, with new developer Ninja Theory taking Dante into an alternate reality. But despite the 100% mopier looking Dante, the character will retain all the @@@-kicking action that the series is known for, and the shift in style (and developer) may be just what the neglected franchise needs to survive.
Dead Space 3
(February 5; PC, PS3, Xbox 360; Visceral Games, EA)
The somewhat crazy (ok, mostly crazy) protagonist Isaac Clarke returns to once again kneecap the spreading Necromorph scourge. But this time the darkness of space is partially replaced by the whiteout of a frozen world, and Isaac's solitude is interrupted by the arrival of a co-op friendly soldier to hold your hand through the bleak trek to destroy another alien Marker. It's a new direction for the series, but built on the foundation of the survival horror staples the franchise is known for. It could also be the worst game of the year to play immediately before going to sleep.
Crysis 3
(February 19; PC, PS3, Xbox 360; Crytek Frankfurt, EA)
Perhaps there will come a day when people grow tired of seeing the city of New York destroyed by enemy soldiers/monsters/meteorites/aliens/giant marshmallow men, but thankfully that day is not coming any time soon. The third Crysis game returns to New York, but it is a New York unlike any that we have seen before. Encapsulated by a dome, the man in the fancy suit returns to the Big Apple on a revenge tale, and finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy. Which is a good thing, because if he found nothing much happening it would make for a fairly dull game. The game should feature plenty of options on how you play, and PC fans should begin salivating over the return of one of the most graphically impressive franchises around.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
(February 19; PS3, Xbox 360; Platinum Games, Konami)
At first, it sounded somewhat silly. Rather than a new Metal Gear Solid game, the franchise decided to take a slight detour into the realm of side story and release a game where Snake (or Big Boss) was not the protagonist. Instead the spotlight falls on Raiden, the majority hero of Metal Gear Solid 2, and a character that annoyed some people so severely that his redemption came at the cost of his humanity. Even then as a super cyborg killing machine he whined a bit. But more than that, the game was a completely different style of action from the other MGS games, and a new developer was brought in to oversee the shift. You can hide and play some stealth sections in Revengeance if you like, but with a sword that can cut through just about anything in the game, and a character powerful enough to punch helicopters in the face, why would you want to?
Aliens: Colonial Marines
(February 12, 2013; PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U; Gearbox Software, SEGA)
When this game comes out, expect to read the phrase "game over, man" at least a dozen times. Then once you are sick of it, expect to hear it a few more times. On behalf of all game writers: sorry. It's low hanging fruit, what can ya do? But don't let that turn you off from one of the more intriguing games of the year. Blending survival horror and first person shooter mechanics, as well as a multiplayer mode that has gotten people talking, this one is worth looking into.
BioShock: Infinite
(March 26; PC, PS3, Xbox 360; Irrational Games, 2K Games)
Based on the anticipation alone, you could probably give this the title game of the year right now. Children born at the end of 2013 may carry the name Booker or Elizabeth just because of it. Tattoos of the creepy songbird will probably find their way onto the flesh of fans, and the city of Columbia will take its place next to Rapture as one of the most iconic gaming settings ever. Assuming, of course, that it can deliver. And things are looking great on that count, even with multiple delays. The biggest enemy of this title may be its expectations. But if any game deal with that, it is this one.
Tomb Raider
(March 5; PC, PS3, Xbox 360; Crystal Dynamics, Square Enix)
It has come to the point that there should be a reboot/prequel genre. But while it's easy to point at the constant wave of reboots and deride them for the lack of creativity they often denote, every now and then they are exactly what is needed. Tomb Raider was a franchise that had long since maxed out its full potential on the path it was on. The games inspired countless others, and many of those did it better. So it made sense that something needed to change. And of all recent reboots, Lara Croft was perfectly situated for one. Her history was just sort of taken for granted, but there was always a rich story there, just waiting to be told. And about time, too.
God of War: Ascension
(March 12; PS3; SCE Santa Monica, SCEA)
While the third God of War game seemed to wrap things up nicely, Kratos is not one to be denied a bit of the old ultraviolence. In another prequel for the year, this one takes us back to the early days of Kratos, back when he was really angry. Set nearly ten years before the events of the first game, Ascension pits a freshly ash covered Kratos against the Furies. It also takes the series down a well trodden path by introducing multiplayer to the franchise, but this one looks good. Prequels rarely have the emotional impact that the next chapter to a story can, but in a series known for its gameplay, a new prequel is ok by us. Besides, each of the previous games upped the ante in terms of who Kratos went after. At the rate the games were on, Kratos would need to kill the sun in order to surpass his previous outings.
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm
(March 12, PC, OS X; Blizzard)
Although technically this is an expansion and not a full game, it deserves to be listed thanks to the power of the franchise – not to mention the infrequency of StarCraft releases. There will be one more expansion coming… sometime-ish in the future, and then who knows when or even if StarCraft 3 will debut. 2020 is a very real possibility. In the meantime, the expansion pack to StarCraft II is essentially a game in itself, with a full storyline of its own. It won't push the franchise forward, but it will expand it and offer enough content to tide fans over until the third expansion is released, presumably in the next 15 years or so.
Gears of War: Judgment
(March 19; Xbox 360; Epic Games/People Can Fly, Microsoft Studios)
The prequel-o-rama continues, with a new Gears of War that takes place years before the seemingly final events of Gears of War 3. But even though the major storyline seemed to have concluded fairly definitively, the series is too popular to simply let die. Odds are that we will once again see Marcus Fenix chainsaw something, but for now the series switches to Cole and Baird, and a story from the early days of the war against the Locust. New multiplayer modes will be present, of course, and the campaign will expand on the mythology that made this series one of the best on the Xbox.
Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel
(March 26; PS3, Xbox 360; Visceral Games, EA)
This game is best played with another real person, otherwise it becomes a standard, over the top, bloody shooter. There's nothing wrong with that, but it misses the point of what makes this game worth paying attention to. The story is incidental. There are bad guys that need a good killing, and you go in with a partner to do just that. The body count is high, and the narrative is slim. The game is all about working as a team with another person, something this series has down to a science . This can be done with the AI in control, but it is a bit sad. Play with a friend, and make beautiful memories of laying grenades at the feet of those in your way.
Metro: Last Light
(March 2013; PC, PS3, Xbox 360; 4A Games, THQ)
You know how you have a particular band that you've been a fan of for a while, then suddenly they get really big and now everyone knows them? For many gamers, that was Metro 2033. The first game was quirky and weird, and offered a traditional experience in an extremely untraditional way. It gained a cult following, and that following has grown and grown. So much so that while the original game was barely a blip on most radars when it came out, this one has a lot of attention on it. If it can build on what made the original a hit, this game should easily surpass it, and reach a much bigger audience.
Dead Island: Riptide
(April 23; PC, PS3, Xbox 360; Techland, Deep Silver)
While this isn't technically a sequel to Dead Island, it is a complete story in its own right that picks up after the events of the original game. But somehow it isn't being called a sequel… It's also a game that proves that this is a new franchise that could be around for a long, long time. If the first game floated your zombie infested boat, this one should offer more of the same, in a good way.
Injustice: Gods Among Us
(April 2013; PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U; NetherRealm Studios, WBIE)
If you are a comic book fan, there is probably a bit of a battle going on in your head about this game. Part of you should be excited to see a fighter based on the biggest and best of the DC universe. Being able to battle with the likes of Green Lantern and Nightwing is cool, and NetherRealm Studios knows fighters (even if its previous attempt to merge the MK and DC universes, while still operating under the Midway banner, was less than successful). The second thing going through fans' heads is how the hell could Catwoman offer Superman a fight. He can fly into the sun. She can deactivate an alarm. It's not exactly a fair fight. There is supposedly a story element that explains balancing character, and as long as it is at least remotely possible within the logic of the game, we'll probably buy it.Confirmed for 2013
Pikmin 3
(Spring 2013; Wii U; Nintendo EAD, Nintendo)
The Wii U has been slightly neglected on this list, but the odds are very good that many of the titles listed here will also be on the Wii U and just haven't been officially confirmed for it yet. There is also the good chance that the Wii U library will begin to blossom late next year, as developers figure out how to make the most out of the system and what it can do. For a good example, all they have to do is check out this game that brings back the cult favorite Pikmin games, and does so using the GamePad in a unique way that makes the game play in a way that it could only be possible on the Wii U.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist
(Spring 2013; PC, PS3, Xbox 360; Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft)
Although this game will be 100% Michael Ironside free (which is a wee bit tragic, but understandable), Sam Fisher returns with a new voice and a new mission. The days of restarting missions, over and over again after being spotted by a guard that just happens to decide the dark corner you are hiding in would make a good place to lean against, are over. Fisher still retains his stealthiness, but he has also embraced the joy of murdering a room full of people. But hey, if no one is left alive, no one will raise an alarm. It's a far more action oriented take on the series, but one that should appeal to a wider fan base than the original games. And with a movie starring Tom Hardy confirmed to be in the works, this could be a very big year or two for the property.
Star Trek
(Q1 2013; PS3, Xbox 360, PC; Digital Extremes, Namco/Paramount)
To all the developers and publisher looking to make a game based on a movie, you should seriously consider following the pattern set here by Star Trek. Rather than just churning out a playable version of the rebooted, JJ Abrams infused Kirk and Spock movie, the guys at Digital Extreme spent the last few years building a game set within the universe of the films, but not specifically beholden to them. Star Trek is fortunate enough to have the excuse of multiple missions built in to its DNA, so this game is just one more event in the lives of the Enterprise crew. Designed as a co-op game, Kirk and Spock lead up the fight against the Gorn, an enemy not seen since the days of Star Trek TOS. Perhaps after their one encounter, Kirk then led the Federation to exterminate the Gorn, thus preventing their return to the show. Maybe we'll find out when the game conveniently releases in Q1, just before the next film.
Grand Theft Auto V
(Q2 2013; PS3, Xbox 360; Rockstar North, Rockstar Games)
Although we don't have an official release date or even month yet (May), whenever this game eventually releases (almost certainly May), it will land with a loud splash (in May). It's been a while since there has been a good, old fashioned protest against a game, and if anyone can get Senators to talk about the dangers of playing a game like it was going to mutate your brain, Rockstar can. The years have likely desensitized us to anything shocking that GTAV could offer, but it's still nice to see the franchise back – or at least it will be whenever it is released (in May).
The Elder Scrolls Online
(Mid/late 2013; PC, Mac OS X; ZeniMax Online, Bethesda)
Although the idea of a fantasy setting for an online game built around a massive community isn't anything new, the Elder Scrolls brand received a massive shot of awesome last year with Skyrim, and the series moved to the top of the RPG food chain. Can it surpass the established MMORPGs already out there? We'll see. It's a tough market to crack into (just look at the middling success of Star Wars: The Old Republic). But if anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, it's Bethesda.
Beyond: Two Souls
(2013; PS3; Quantic Dream, SCEA)
Of all the games on this list, this one looks like the most unusual and possibly original. From the fevered minds of the developers behind Heavy Rain, the game may be as close to a playable movie as we've ever seen. It even stars Ellen Page as one of the two stars – the other being a poltergeist-like entity that co-exists with Page's character and acts as her protector, friend, and occasionally the equivalent of a drunken, angry boyfriend with Hulk-like rage issues that gets jealous when other dudes hit on her.
(2013; PS3, Xbox 360; High Moon Studios, Activision)
Ok, we have to admit that part of the reason this game made the list is the incredible promotion for it that introduced Deadpool to the world. Marvel needs a good superhero game of its own to keep up, something it has not shown the aptitude to do. There have been plenty of Marvel games recently, but don't beat yourself up if you have forgotten them. Even if you played them. They haven't exactly been memorable. Hopefully that all changes here and the character opens up the door to a new wave of Marvel based games from Activision, who have never given up on the license, even though many of us gave up on it.
The Last of Us
(2013; PS3; Naughty Dog, SCEA)
Since the moment this title made its debut, gaming fans have had a love affair with the idea of it. Coming from the developers of the Uncharted series, the new property takes us to a wholly original, and totally never before seen world that takes place after an apocalypse. Wait… Ok, so maybe the setting on the face of things isn't groundbreaking, but with the developers at Naughty Dog at the helm, The Last of Us looks like a game that will make the trip to the dark possible future of humanity worth the trip.
Star Wars 1313
(2013; PC, PS3, Xbox 360; LucasArts, Disney LucasArts)
If you have seen anything about this game, anything at all, and you still question why it is on this list, we seriously can't be friends anymore. There is still a lot of mystery surrounding this game, and no one can even confirm with absolute certainty if it will be on this gen or next, but it is a completely new Star Wars game set within the larger universe but not necessarily in a way we've seen before. The new Disney purchase of the Lucas properties could also help to make this game great, as Disney would no doubt like the first game under the Disney LucasArts banner to be a success.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6: Patriots
(2013; PC, PS3, Xbox 360; Ubisoft Montreal/Red Storm/Toronto, Ubisoft)
We first saw this game a while back, and we haven't heard a whole lot more since the announcement that it was coming. It'll be set in the jeopardy-friendly confines of New York, and the odds are good that it will involve squad-based play as all the other games in the franchise have. After laying the smack down on Vegas before entering a hiatus of sorts, it'll be nice to see the series return. The Rainbow Six titles have always been quality games, and there's no reason to think that will change.
Watch Dogs
(2013; PC, PS3, Xbox 360; Ubisoft Montreal, Ubisoft)
Despite a massive lineup filled with blockbuster after blockbuster, Ubisoft's E3 presentation was dominated by the reveal of its newest property, Watch Dogs. After the clip showed off what the game could do, it was all people could talk about. And with good reason. This one might not have the mainstream appeal that something like an Assassin's Creed game does, but you can be sure most dedicated gamers are going to be following this title closely.

Pac-12 Morning Five: 02.08.12 EditionPosted by AMurawa on February 8th, 2012
- Oregon's loss at Colorado on Saturday night was not the type of game from which it is easy to bounce back. The last-second loss on a controversial foul call left the Ducks tied for fourth place in the conference with Arizona, an especially precarious position to be in, since the top four teams in the conference will earn an opening round bye in the Pac-12 Tournament in March. Still, Dana Altman knows that his team doesn't have much time to feel sorry for itself with a big game against bitter rival and current conference leader Washington due up tomorrow night.
- Arizona's defense was a big key to their sweep of the Bay Area schools last weekend with Kyle Fogg, Nick Johnson, and Josiah Turner providing stellar perimeter defense at every turn. But a new weapon for Sean Miller's squad lays waiting for intrepid souls find their way into the paint against the Wildcats, as freshman forward Angelo Chol has seen a bump in his minutes in the wake of Kevin Parrom's season-ending injury. Against Stanford and California this weekend, Chol played a total of 36 minutes (his highest total in consecutive games since Arizona's first two games), blocked six shots, and provided a disincentive for opponents to challenge him inside. As a high-schooler in San Diego, Chol blocked 1,120 shots in his career (good for second all-time at that level), but has been unable at Arizona to earn significant minutes, and hasn't been all that effective in his time, until this past weekend. If he can turn into a strong presence in the paint for the Wildcats, they'll be much better off as a result.
- Another freshman who is starting to earn some more minutes for his team is Washington's Shawn Kemp Jr. Kemp played 24 minutes over the weekend against the Los Angeles schools and scored ten points in and around the paint. The son of the former SuperSonic superstar has taken a circuitous route to Lorenzo Romar's team, committing to both Alabama and Auburn in the past, but failing to get his grades together in order to play at either school. Now, two years later, Kemp is working hard on his game to earn playing time and may be a significant piece to the Husky puzzle in 2012-13.
- Following a home loss against Arizona on Saturday, Stanford has now lost four of its last five games, falling from first place to a tie for sixth with UCLA. But, as Jon Wilner notes, this is more or less par for the course for the Cardinal thus far in the Johnny Dawkins era. Last year Stanford lost four in a row after starting conference play 3-1. The year before it was a 4-3 start and another four-game slide,while in 2009 the Cardinal dropped eight of their last ten after starting 3-3 in the conference. While Dawkins' job is likely safe for the time being, at some point this Stanford team needs to prove that progress is being made.
- The conference announced the 2012 inductees into the Pac-12 Men's Basketball Hall of Honor on Tuesday, and there are some great names on the list. One inductee from each member institution will be honored during the Pac-12 Tournament in March. Here's the list: Richard Jefferson (Arizona), Kurt Nimphius (Arizona State), Lamond Murray (California), Burdette Haldorson (Colorado), Jim Barnett (Oregon), A.C. Green (Oregon State), George Selleck (Stanford), Ed O'Bannon (UCLA), Sam Barry (USC), Arnie Ferrin (Utah), George Irvine (Washington), and Steve Puidokas (Washington State). While there are some great names on that list that most college basketball fans are very familiar with (Jefferson, Murray, O'Bannon, Green, for starters), it is fun to go back through the brief bios on the Pac-12 site and read about guys you may not be all that familiar with. Just as a "for instance", did you know that former USC head basketball coach Sam Barry helped the Trojans post 32 consecutive victories over UCLA and helped push for the elimination of the center jump after every made basket, as well as the implementation of the ten-second rule? Good stuff from the Pac-12, but my concern is that by inducting one player from every school every year (and this has been going on for many ten years already), it's not going to be long before the Eugene Edgersons, George Zideks, and Isaac Fontaines of the world have to wind up in the Hall of Honor as well.

Outdoor recreation generates more than $85 billion in consumer spending and creates some 732,000 jobs each year in California, according to a new report by the Outdoor Industry Association.
Continue Reading Below
Contributing more nationally to consumer spending than both the household utilities and gasoline sectors combined, the industry that includes hiking, bicycling, fishing and skiing is bigger than most people realize, the group argues.
"Outdoor recreation is a significant economic driver," it said in the report.
Offering a number of open, public spaces, including Yosemite National Park, Redwood national and state parks and Big Sur, a sparsely populated region of California's Central Coast that spans dozens of miles, California is by far the nation's largest contributor to outdoor recreation.
Money spent on gear, vehicles, trips and travel-related expenses there generate $270 billion in California wages and salaries and $6.7 billion in state and local tax revenue each year. The group estimates that at least 59% of California residents participate in outdoor recreation each year.
"This creates jobs, supports communities, generates tax revenue and helps drive the economy," the Outdoor Industry Association said.
The report comes as California struggles to improve its economy in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The state pays public workers more than any of the other 12 most populous states, according to Bloomberg, and has struggled to overcome deep debt obligations.
On a national level, outdoor recreation generates $646 billion in consumer spending while contributing nearly $40 billion in both federal and state and local tax revenue.
The market contributes more to consumer spending than household utilities and gasoline combined, and also trumps pharmaceuticals and motor vehicles, according to the report.
The next largest contributor to outdoor activity behind California is Florida, generating some $38.3 billion in consumer spending a year, followed by New York with $33.8 billion and Texas with $28.7 billion.
The industry, which creates more than 6.1 million direct American jobs nationally, also generates more employment than construction, oil and gas, education and transportation, the industry group says.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The sharp drop in coal demand that has weighed down railroad profits since last year appears to be slowly coming to an end.
Many utilities turned away from coal last year as they switched to cheaper natural gas to generate electricity. But natural gas prices have doubled in the past year, and some power companies are finding it cheaper to burn coal again.
That, and increased shipments of other goods, has railroad executives feeling more confident. After reporting an 11 percent increase in first-quarter profit Thursday, Union Pacific officials predicted a slight increase in shipping volume this year.
Union Pacific was more confident about this year's prospects than CSX, the other major freight railroad to report earnings this week. CSX said quarterly profit grew 2 percent. But officials said profit would barely grow this year before rising 10 to 15 percent in 2014 and 2015.
Union Pacific CEO Jack Koraleski told The Associated Press that everything looks good for the Omaha, Neb.,-based railroad this year, as long as normal weather patterns prevail and the economy continues growing.
"I love what I'm seeing at the moment, but I'm also cautious about whatever might cause consumer confidence to falter," Koraleski said.
Union Pacific officials said on a conference call that coal shipments appear to have bottomed out last year, so the railroad should see coal volumes improve through the rest of this year as long as the summer is hot.
The company's stock soared to new heights Thursday after its strong results. The stock gained $5.52, or 4 percent, to set a new closing record of $142.46.
Rate increases helped Union Pacific generate net income of $957 million, or $2.03 per share, in the quarter. That's up from $863 million, or $1.79 per share, a year earlier. Revenue rose to $5.29 billion revenue from $5.1 billion revenue.
The results beat Wall Street's expectations. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected earnings per share of $1.96 on revenue of $5.22 billion.
Koraleski said he's encouraged by the improvement in the housing and automotive markets. Builders have been starting houses and apartments at the fastest pace in 4 ½ years. And March was the best month for auto sales since August 2007.
The CEO said he's even more excited that several European companies have contacted Union Pacific about looking at possible manufacturing sites along railroad lines, including a new steel plant in Louisiana.
Citi Research analyst Christian Wetherbee said Union Pacific posted a strong quarter because coal profits were better than expected. Although coal shipments dropped 19 percent, coal revenue declined only 6 percent to $936 million.
Overall in the first quarter, Union Pacific's total shipping volume declined 2 percent. Besides coal, agricultural shipments were weak, as last year's drought caused a 9 percent decline.
But strong growth in crude oil shipments and intermodal containers, and a core rate increase of 4 percent on most shipments made up for coal and agriculture.
Stifel Nicolaus analyst John Larkin said Union Pacific proved more nimble than he expected in responding to the drop in coal and grain shipments. It also limited growth in expenses to only 2 percent, he said.
CSX officials predicted Wednesday that its domestic coal volumes will decline 5 to 10 percent this year because many utilities are still burning off significant coal stockpiles. But generally all the utilities CSX serves that can switch to natural gas have done so.
So CSX expects coal demand to stabilize in 2014, because utilities will still need to burn some coal to meet electricity demand.
CSX operates over 21,000 miles of track in 23 eastern states and two Canadian provinces.
Union Pacific operates 32,400 miles of track in 23 states from the Midwest to the West and Gulf coasts.
