Deadline for Call for Speakers: 5 April 2013
Deadline for Registration: 29 April 2013
Please download Background reports:
High-growth firms, i.e. enterprises that grow rapidly over a short period of time, have drawn the attention of policy makers because of the large number of jobs they create. While it is uncontested that high-growth firms account for most job creation, there are fewer certainties about the features and characteristics of these enterprises or on how best they can be promoted by policy.
One policy issue is how to identify potential high-growth firms, whereas another is to understand the types of policy support they require and how to deliver such support. The OECD LEED Programme is undertaking work in 2011-14 with a view to understanding more about the national and local environments and policies that favour high-growth entrepreneurship. It organised a first workshop on "High-growth firms: local policies and local determinants" in partnership with the Danish Business Authority (DBA) in Copenhagen on 28 March 2012 and is organising other similar events on selected topics to better understand issues and policies around high-growth firms.
This workshop in collaboration with Poland's Ministry of Economy is part of an OECD LEED series aimed at better understanding issues and policies around high-growth entrepreneurship and intends to get an understanding of management and leadership skills needed in high-growth enterprises and how to nurture them.
The workshop will be organised around two sessions which will answer the following questions:
Morning session
Certainly, business management skills (e.g. business planning, logistics, etc.) are important for every venture, but there is increasing recognition that they are not enough and need to be combined with more strategic skills (e.g. relational skills, market awareness, opportunity recognition, etc.) for an enterprises to experience fast growth. The workshop intends to scan which of these skills are prevailing in entrepreneurs managing high-growth firms and whether there are any personal features associated with successful entrepreneurship.
Afternoon session
Training, mentoring and coaching are generally associated with the skills development of entrepreneurs, often in the context of business incubator and business accelerator programmes. The sessions aims to understand whether existing policies and programmes are fit for the purpose of instilling management and leadership skills useful for business growth, to investigate strengths and weaknesses of these programmes, and to come up with suggestions on changes they would need. Possible policy gaps will also be explored.
Presentations should fall under one the two themes introduced above and tackle one or more of the following questions:

I Still Love You, Daddy
It's been a lifetime since I've seen you but I feel your absence constantly; sometimes a dull ache, sometimes suddenly and so sharply I can't breathe. I wonder where you are and what you're doing, who you're spending Christmas with and whether you pause for even five seconds to think of the daughter you abandoned. Do you know that I still love you and miss you, despite my best efforts to pretend you never existed? Do you wonder what happened to me and whether I'm happy? Or do you somehow know that I'm as damaged as you are; following in your footsteps in so many unintentional ways. Do you understand what your abandonment did to me? Do you understand that I can't shake the feeling I'm so worthless my own father didn't … couldn't? … love me?
Your absence is a hole I can't fill, no matter how much I hurt myself to try to manage the pain and blunt the force of my feelings. I hope that 2012 is the year I learn how to move past this and find a way to heal. The most fucked up thing is that I would go through all the abuse and bullying and terror again if I could have just 5 more minutes with you telling me I was your little girl and you loved me.
Merry Christmas, Daddy, wherever you are.

Whether one was leaving from the barracks or from home, I believe every Submariner can identify with my memories in this poem.
My seabag is packed and ready;
It stands stiffly beside the door.
The boat and her crew lie waiting
Off a lonely distant shore;
She yearns to return to deep water
To escape the light of day.
Impatiently, she waits for my return
As men hurry to get underway.
Soon, I'll walk through that door-
For daylight is breaking now-
With seabag on my shoulder,
I'll salute as I cross her brow.
Then she will head north to rejoin the fight
In this silent, cold, cold war.

Re: LEAVING
Just beautiful Roy. I think you captured the feeling perfectly. It was always somewhat of a lonely feeling. I think we Submariners share a different perspective of the Cold War than that of the younger generations that believe it was a big farce or hoax. It was a job. We took our job seriously with a lot of pride. We were up against a very real enemy. It was a deadly serious business and we knew if the order came, the missiles would fly.

I am never one of girls chase after stars. Never mind to vote for something or someone crazily like the one I am doing right now. I can't remember the last time I did this. I really hope I can watch Giambi playing All Star game and Home Run Derby.
People have tendency to think players on the big market teams have edges in voting. This is maybe just a stereotype. I can't believe Giambi is behind in this final Vote for All Star Game. Let's Go Yankees!
I actually don't have problems the way they select players for All Star game. Ultimately, the All Star game is the game for fans. Let fans decide who they want to watch which is a no-brainer for me. On top of that, Let players decide some players should be there is a no-brainer for me as well. In reality, We are not players or coaches who are in this baseball industry. They should know baseball better than us.
The only problem I have is why not let fans choose some pitchers they like to watch them pitching in the All Star game as well?

Giambi better win this final vote for All Star game

Wells Fargo study finds new kind of homebuyer on the way: Millennials
The still struggling housing industry might actually be scraping the surface of the largest home-buying opportunity in generations: the Millennials. According to a study from Wells Fargo (WFC), there are 51.5 million potential first-time homebuyers born between 1979 and 1991. Roughly 6 million more of these Millennials are reaching the prime homebuying age than baby boomers did in 1977. Often characterized as hoodie-wearing college kids strapped to iPods and iPhones, this generation is the most diverse, more technology driven and actually more inclined to trust institutions than their predecessors, the Gen Xers and baby boomers, according to a Pew Research Center study. In fact, when Wells surveyed more than 3,000 Americans, it found attitudes toward homeownership are still optimistic, especially in this younger crowd. For the last three years, the mortgage industry has been mired in problems throughout the process. Poorly written loans taken out by homebuyers who could not afford them on the origination side drove foreclosure levels to new heights, overwhelming servicers, who quickly found themselves embroiled in investigations and new stricter regulations. The result has been a growing shadow inventory of foreclosed homes needing to be sold, reaching as high as a 10-year supply in New York, according to Standard & Poor's. Meanwhile, home sales plummeted as recently as February to its lowest rate since the Commerce Department began measuring the statistic. Between 1980 and 2000, membership at the National Association of Realtors hovered around 750,000. But by 2006, that number grew to 1.36 million. Since the collapse, membership fell to about 1 million, according to NAR. Of the Realtors still in the business, 40% reported gross income of less than $25,000 in 2010. The upcoming qualified residential mortgage could dry up home sales even more. The QRM rule could force lenders to retain 5% of the risk after securitization on any loan written without 20% down. What the rule will definitively say is still speculation at this point. In a letter written to regulators, NAR and the National Association of Homebuilders said it would take a family earning a median income 14 years to save the 20% necessary for the down payment on a new home. Despite all these setbacks, homeownership is still a destination. More than 70% of those surveyed by Wells Fargo still want to own a home. Millennials even responded to more rigorous credit requirements favorably, describing them as beneficial to their goal of remaining in the home once they make the purchase. Roughly 26,000 real estate agents attended a Wells Fargo presentation Thursday shown in 100 theaters nationwide. Brad Blackwell, executive vice president at Wells Fargo told the audience this wave of Millennials will be the new lifeblood for the industry. "We're going to have to figure out how to reach them," Blackwell said. Lisa Zakrajsek, another EVP at Wells and the leader on the study, told HousingWire after the presentation the bank will begin putting together homebuying workshops aimed at the younger crowd this year. The banking giant also plans to make changes to its website for this more tech-savvy generation. "We've invested hugely in this infrastructure," Zakrajsek said. "We're making great enhancements to meet the needs of younger buyers." Write to Jon Prior. Follow him on Twitter @JonAPrior.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Joan Rivers has died at age 81.
The legendary comedian died Thursday at 1:17 p.m. ET. Rivers was hospitalized after she went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing during a routine surgery August 28, and was put into a medically-induced coma upon her arrival to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Her condition failed to improve, and daughter Melissa Rivers eventually chose to take her off life support.
"It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother Joan Rivers," Melissa said in a statement. "She passed peacefully at 1:17 p.m. surrounded by family and close friends. My son and I would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of Mount Sinai Hospital for the amazing care they provided my mother."
"My mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh," she continued. "Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon."
Rivers was born Joan Alexandra Molinsky in Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1933, and began her career on stage in the 1950s after graduating with honors from Barnard College. She started performing in comedy clubs and made her way onto the small screen in the 1960s, appearing on programs such as Candid Camera and The Ed Sullivan Show. Rivers began her longtime collaboration with Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show in 1965, but the friendship came to an end when she received her own, rival talk show, The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers, in 1986.
Rivers authored 12 books and maintained the Joan Rivers Classics Collection, a best-selling fashion line sold on QVC. The Emmy winner most recently starred with daughter Melissa Rivers on WE reality series Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?, and served as a co-host on Fashion Police. The E! program saw her apply her famously acerbic wit to celebrity fashion choices, and her direct and irreverent sense of humor stirred up controversy on more than one occasion.
Rivers will be remembered as a groundbreaking female comedian and an iconic television personality. She is survived by her daughter, Melissa, and her grandson, Cooper Endicott. Many celebrities have taken to social media to express their admiration and condolences for the star.
"My friend Joan Rivers has passed away," Whoopi Goldberg tweeted. "Once again to quote Billy Crystal... There are no words. Bon Voyage Joan."
"Unapologetically offensive, kind, tough, complicated, irrepressible, supremely energetic...and above all, bloody funny," Piers Morgan wrote. "RIP Joan Rivers."

"Star Wars" icon Carrie Fisher is eager to make an appearance in Disney's new take on the sci-fi franchise.
Creator George Lucas has sold the production company behind the phenomenally successful movie series to bosses at Disney in a deal worth a staggering $4 billion.
The newly owned Lucasfilm team will now get to work on three new films, of which the first, Episode 7, will follow 1983′s "Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi" in the franchise's timeline.
The news has sent fans into a spin about the possible return of original co-stars Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford, and the actress – who played Princess Leia – is eager to reprise her cult role.
When asked if she would like to return to the series, she tells TMZ.com, "Yes. Sure. Wouldn't you?"

Hi – i am new to the forum and i'm hoping for some advice about France.
I've searched the forum without a lot of success.
Basically this summer we are driving through France in our campervan and simply looking to stop where the kiting is good. As the country is huge I am looking for recommendations for the best spots for advanced kiting. We'd like a mix of waves and flat spots.
We are driving from Cherbourg and had planned to drive down the west coast, perhaps checking out bretagne first. We'll then head across the bottom to Leucate.
Any advice on the best spots that get regular wind would be appreciated. We're going in mid July.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Want to try Dave? XD
Before you even think of an answer, I would like to mention that 1) I know it's AWFUL. 2) While playimg through it a while back, I found out that some aspects are broken. Missing terminal text, monsters missing color tables (that were from M1A1 SE) that makes the game crash, and I couldn't figure out how to complete one of my own levels!
I wouldn't care if anyone tears it apart anymore. It would probably just make me laugh at how I did things back then. There's actually a whole playthrough of me playing it on my Youtube page. XD
Were there any other scenarios you played that you made comments? I vaguely remember an Eternal and Aeon thread.

Low-level Flying: Lexus LS460 F Sport AWD
It may not outperform German sports sedans, but it shines brightly in its strong suit—comfort and heft.
A quarter-century ago, Toyota set out to beat the Germans in the luxury-sedan game with the Lexus. What is now a diversely populated luxury brand under the umbrella of the Japanese goliath started out as one car, the 1990 model LS400. The only badges on the trunk lid were the word Lexus and the circled-L logo.
With its astonishingly smooth ride, turbine-like V8 and silent cabin, the Lexus put the Germans on notice that there was room for improvement in their own storied and haughty nameplates. In 1990 the LS400 was way ahead of its time in the comfort stakes—a latter-day Citroën ID/DS. The frumpy Camry got a substantial dose of the LS400 treatment for 1992 and redefined that segment. I owned a '93 Camry, which I replaced with a '91 LS400 and then with an '02 LS430, and over the course of putting nearly 400,000 miles on those three vehicles became a staunch fan of the Toyota way.
In terms of damping and isolation from road-surface imperfections, the original LS400 had the most luxurious suspension of any automobile I have ever driven with just one exception: the Rolls-Royce Phantom, which currently starts at approximately $400,000. The LS430's suspension was a step backwards, I thought—smooth, but the original kept the cigar.
Here's the rub. Twenty-five years later, German cars have eliminated Lexus's lead in the silk-road stakes, leaving the Japanese contender with a diluted claim to fame and a fresh need to stand out in this league. Hence the LS460 F Sport, a response to those who dismiss the brand as all luxury, no frisky.
Here's rub number two: this time, with the car shown on these pages, brand L lags the Teutons in the sport stakes it aspires to.
Does this matter? Not really, because the F Sport still shines brightly in its strong suit—comfort and heft—and Lexus loyalists will probably enjoy the slightly sharper edges the F Sport brings to the drive. It seems unlikely this time, however, that those faithful to the German brands will be lured away, since this F doesn't make the cut yet to join M, S and AMG in the German performance stable or Cadillac's V or Jag's F.
The LS460 F Sport AWD costs about $10,000 more than the standard AWD LS, and that money buys lowered adaptive variable air suspension, stabilizer bars and shock absorbers. Variable gear-ratio steering changes the steering ratio in response to vehicle speed and the steering angle, for a tad more aggressive steering and turn-in response, thanks to slightly reduced steering-wheel travel (fewer turns lock-to-lock). The front brakes are also upgraded, to six-piston Brembo calipers and 14.8-inch rotors in place of the standard car's four pistons and 14-inch discs. The front seats are bolstered for comfort and support, the steering wheel has paddle shifters and the pedals are aluminum, along with the interior accent trim.
In an unfortunate tradeoff that attends delivering power to all four wheels on the all-wheel-drive LS, the F Sport AWD (the Lexus flagship) produces only 360 hp rather than the base RWD LS's 386 hp. Adding the components for AWD necessitated revised, less-than-optimum exhaust plumbing.
Despite all the above caveats, Lexus's workout regimen to give the LS some athleticism has worked well, and the car is a good place to be for long drives with some twists and turns. Put the aforementioned established sports sedans out of mind, and the F Sport is a well-executed improvement on the ultra-luxe LSes of yore. The comfort is still there in spades and the fit and finish inside are classy, but this car is more inclined to play than its frumpier forebears were. The gearshifts in the two most comfortable modes are all but imperceptible, as one would expect, but somehow Lexus (mindful of how highly its clientele value silk, no doubt) couldn't bring itself to make them noticeably harsher in the two sportier modes either.
The average mpg over the course of the 636 miles I put on the F Sport during this evaluation was on the high side for a car purporting to have sport in its veins, an indication of my inclination to enjoy the old Lexus comfort and serenity rather than stomp on the gas pedal and shoot for the apex in the curves. The loan of this car came less than a month after I'd had a new M5 for a week, and that patriarch of sports sedans, still fresh in mind, just ached to be driven hard at every opportunity. Unlike the smaller Lexus IS-F, the LS F Sport isn't that kind of a drive. While capable and undeniably pleasing, it needs a lot more power and tuning to be a fire-breather worthy of playing with the likes of the M5.
For the typical Lexus buyer, the F Sport is just fine the way it is for 2013.

OTTAWA -- The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to show improvement.
The Flyers won their second successive game with a 5-0 victory against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.
This is a sharp contrast to Philadelphia's start to the season, when it scored more than two goals in a game only once, winning only four times in its first 15 games.
Jakub Voracek scored twice and Steve Mason made 24 saves as the Flyers won consecutive games for only the second time this season.
"We got back to the basics," said Matt Read, who had the Flyers' first goal Tuesday.
"The first month we tried to do things when we didn't have them and now we're just keeping things simple by getting pucks deep and getting pucks out when we have to and winning puck battles along the boards.
"Those little things turn into victories."
Vincent Lecavalier and Brayden Schenn also scored for the Flyers (6-10-1), while Claude Giroux added two assists.
It was Mason's first shutout of the season and the 20th of his career.
"This was an extremely sound effort all around and from a defensive standpoint we didn't give a lot up," Mason said.
Craig Anderson stopped 26 of 31 shots in his first start in more than a week after suffering a neck injury in a loss to Dallas on Nov. 9.
The Senators (7-7-4) were shut out for the first time this season and had a three-game winning streak snapped in the loss.
Robin Lehner started and won all three games in Anderson's absence and was the NHL's first star of the week last week.
When Senators coach Paul MacLean faced some criticism for starting Anderson rather than Lehner.
"We had been playing well and we got exposed by a team that was a little more desperate than we were," MacLean said.
"There are only 20 guys from Philadelphia that are happy with their game. I don't think there's anyone on our team that should be happy with their game and Craig is no different than the rest of us. There were 20 guys that went out there and 20 guys that didn't get the job done."
The Flyers led 3-0 after the second intermission and got goals from Lecavalier and Schenn to put the finishing touches on the victory.
There was very little flow through most of the first period, further evidence that both clubs are enduring early season struggles.
"I don't think we had much jump and it started early. We weren't handling pucks and we kept it along the walls a lot which kind of slows things down and makes it tough to create momentum," Senators forward Zack Smith said.
"There were a couple of giveaways in the defensive end that cost us, but you lose 5-0 and you can't say the effort was there."
The Flyers opened the scoring late in the first period when Read collected a puck behind the Senators' net and scored on a wraparound.
His attempt actually hit the far goalpost but then found the back of Anderson's leg and was redirected across the goal line.
That 1-0 lead was quickly doubled in the second period as Voracek scored his first of the game 28 seconds into the period.
Voracek was behind the goal when he took a pass from Scott Hartnell and quickly reached around, beating Anderson to the post for his second goal of the season.
A little more than 10 minutes later, Voracek gave the Flyers a 3-0 lead as he collected a rebound and put a shot over an outstretched Anderson with 30 seconds still remaining in an interference penalty to Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki.
The Flyers nearly took a 4-0 lead on some nifty passing between Voracek, Hartnell and Giroux, but Anderson made a diving save with the handle of his stick as time expired in the period.
Senators forward Erik Condra missed his fifth consecutive game Tuesday night with a muscle strain in his right leg. ... Forward Steve Downie played his second game of the season with the Flyers and first after missing four straight with a concussion. ... Claude Giroux collected his 300th NHL point, all with the Flyers, with his first of two second-period assists Tuesday. ... Chris Phillips and Eric Gryba were scratches for the Senators while Michael Raffl, Andrej Meszaros and Hal Gill sat for the Flyers.

Gamers have long put up with the $60 price tag associated with the release of current-generation console games, but PC games have largely avoided the trend with $50 or under price points for new games. It looks like that trend may be coming to a close, as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is being spotted online at a $60 price point for the PC.
GameStop? $60 for the regular edition. Amazon? $60 for the regular edition. Best Buy? $60 for the regular edition. It looks like the $10 premium is finally coming to the world of PC gaming.
Or this could just be Bobby Kotick realizing he can jack gamers for the extra $10 on particularly hot releases. During the last earnings call he openly joked about raising the prices on certain releases if he could, and in this case he most certainly can. I doubt the price will stay that high for long—retailers are sure to run sales or drop the price quickly to compete for your business—but the fact it's happening at all is annoying. PC Gaming is supposed to be a lower cost alternative to console gaming, at least in the software.
Console gamers can now point and laugh. Thanks to everyone who sent in links to the different retailers. I share your indignation.

It has been quite a month in the debate over whether California should legalize marijuana for recreational use. Yes, said the state's Democratic Party in approving its new platform. No, at least not yet, said the state's Democratic governor.
Score this round for Gov. Jerry Brown.
Two Sundays ago, Brown went on a network news show and took a colorful swipe at marijuana users, saying that competing in the modern world requires people to stay alert "if not 24 hours a day, more than some of the potheads might be able to put together."
Let's hope the headlines inspired by that line drew attention to Brown's serious point, which is that California should wait to see the effects of marijuana legalization in Colorado and Washington before considering the next step.
He's right — while California can take pride in often being the national pacesetter on political and cultural trends, it would be smart in this case to let others be the test states.
Too bad Brown's message didn't get through to the Democratic activists who gathered in Los Angeles over the weekend for their state party convention.
Delegates adopted a platform for the 2014 election season that says Democrats support "the legalization, regulation and taxation of marijuana, in a manner similar to that of tobacco or alcohol."
Coming on the heels of a December poll showing legalization now favored by 55 percent of Californians, the Democrats' move might suggest the pro-pot movement's on-again, off-again momentum is on again.
Not necessarily. Pot promoters' hopes for putting a legalization initiative on the November ballot appear to have been dashed. They'll likely regroup and aim for the November 2016 election, when the presidential race would be expected to attract more liberals and young people, the biggest supporters of drug legalization.
Will two years be enough for Californians to study the impact of the new marijuana laws in Colorado, where the United States' first state-licensed pot shops opened Jan. 1, and the state of Washington, where the shops are expected to open in June?
Right now, pot proponents probably face an uphill battle in persuading voters it would be smart to move beyond California's current permissiveness on medical marijuana.
Anybody who has followed the legal complexities of allowing medical marijuana, or had trouble with dispensaries in their communities, may be dubious that further expansion of the legal pot industry would be smooth and easy.
Not even the leaders of the three ballot-proposition efforts agree on details of how marijuana growth and sales would be regulated.
Moving beyond theory to specifics will be easier if the people crafting the propositions study how legalization in Colorado and Washington affects things like pot use, crime rates and public expense.
Maybe legalization there will have great benefits, things as practical as saving taxpayers money that would have been spent on arrests, prosecutions and incarceration. Or maybe Gov. Brown's worry will be borne out.
No longer in a rush to do this first, California can learn from other states and do this right. Or not do it all.

Two years after the concept first doffed its backwards-styled cap at us, Mini has finally uncovered its newest model, the Coupe.
But you've seen it all before, right? You know it's the first three-box 'helmet-roofed' two-seat Mini. You know it's 52mm lower than the standard hatch and is set up - like all Minis - to drive like a luxurious go-kart.
The range-topper is the 211bhp John Cooper Works edition, sporting a 1.6-litre turbo'd four-pot with 192lb ft of torque. 0-62mph takes 6.4 seconds and top speed is 149mph, while the range-topping diesel - the Cooper SD - boasts 143bhp, 225lb ft of torque and a 0-62mph time of 7.9 seconds. It also returns 65.7mpg if you drive with sandals made from recycled daisies.

The world has been turned on its ear. Up is now down, capitalism is now communism and we've played the videogame adaptation of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and it's…. good.
How can this be!?
Above: For once, this could actually turn out as cool as it looks
The apparent improvement over the crummy first game is thanks to developer Luxoflux (Vigilante 8, Kung Fu Panda), who's taken the reins from Traveller's Tales and promises to address complaints fans and critics had with the first game. No more will Transformers be about giant robots bashing each other over the head with trees, Luxoflux says. Instead, it's all big, powerful guns, quick on-the-fly transformations and punching.
The apparent crown jewel of the game, however, is its multiplayer mode. Featuring four-on-four battles between two teams of Transformers (divided between Autobots and Decepticons, duh), it'll give players a chance to rip it up in open, vehicle-centric urban environments. And while it doesn't have the massive scale of something like Battlefield: 1943 or the claustrophobic, team-dependent play of Left 4 Dead, its small-scale, class-centric battles remind us of nothing so much as a four-on-four version of Team Fortress 2.
Above: Just, you know, with giant robots that turn into cool vehicles
Transformers: RotF's multiplayer offers up a pool of 13 initially playable Transformers, each differing radically in size, weapon loadout and abilities. Megatron, for example, is huge and has a one-hit-kill fusion cannon that takes a while to charge up, while the Seeker can transform into a jet and teleport a few dozen yards forward. Optimus excels at close-quarters combat, Ironhide can lay down remote turrets and Ratchet and Long Haul can both heal other players, despite having completely different combat skills. Bumblebee, tiny as he is, packs a surprising amount of firepower and is tough to hit, and Breakaway is a sniper who turns into a jet, and also excels at hand-to-hand combat.
In general the characters seem balanced, but there's no direct symmetry between the two sides – every Transformer is different. Bearing that in mind, it's important to pick a balanced team right from the outset, because while you can switch characters during a match, you can only switch to characters your teammates have already chosen. So if everyone insists on being Megatron or Optimus right from the start, well, you're stuck with that for the next five to 10 minutes.
As for the Transformers themselves, on the Autobot side, you've got Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ironhide (who turns into a pickup truck), Ratchet (a weird SUV-style ambulance), Breakaway (jet fighter), a Protectobot (police cruiser) and an Aerialbot (smaller jet fighter). Meanwhile, the Decepticons get Megatron, Starscream, Grindor (helicopter), Long Haul (dump truck), Sideways (car) and a Seeker (jet fighter).
A few of those - Seeker, Protectobot and Aerialbot - are anonymous, multiplayer-only members of "classic Transformers factions," and they're joined by a few more characters we can't really talk about yet. Some of those are just reskins of other characters, while others are genuinely beefed-up versions, and we're told they'll be joined by more Transformers (who'll appear as downloadable extras) down the road.

This isn't your father's Craig County. It isn't even your older brother's Craig County.
This year, everybody's favorite homecoming opponent is getting some.
"They're really good. I was even more impressed when I started looking at film on them," said Galax coach Mark Dixon of the Rockets, Galax's opponent tonight for, ahem, homecoming.
"He's a got a good scheme and he utilizes his personnel well. They've got speed, and that's what you've got to have. They've got four or five kids who can really run."
The 'he' to whom Dixon is referring is Rockets coach Mark McPherson, brother of Grayson County coach Brett McPherson. After a couple of lean years, 2010 is smiling on the Mac family. Craig County (3-1) is one win away from matching the Rockets' win total of the last four years combined. And the smallest football-playing school in Region C is making a serious bid for its first playoff appearance since 2004 after opening a season with three wins for the fist time ever.
The Rockets are making it happen with a big line, solid coaching and a couple of guys who sound like a French egg dish. Mark and Josh Oulette are scrambling opponents' defenses, along with Justin Martin. The three are averaging between 80 and 90 rushing yards each per game, Mark Oulette as a 5-foot-8, 165-pound sophomore tailback, Josh Oulette as a 6-foot, 190-pound senior quarterback and Martin as a 5-10, 175-pound senior fullback.
Josh Oulette has thrown for 360 yards in four games and Martin has the team's top single-game rushing performance, but it is the younger Oulette who has caught Dixon's attention.
"He may be as fast as anybody I've seen," Dixon said. "It's a different speed. You could really see it against EastMont. He may have been the fastest guy on the field.
Whereas Galax found itself down by 19 in the first quarter to EastMont two weeks ago, Craig trailed just 12-6 at halftime to the Mustangs last Friday.
"[McPherson] did an excellent job of putting a defense out there that could slow [EastMont] down," Dixon said. "They did a good job of putting his kids in position to make EastMont go the hard way."
Galax is coming off a tough loss at Radford in which the Maroon Tide was one play away from a true signature win. A tying touchdown pass was batted down in the end zone with less than two minutes to go as the Bobcats survived 27-21. One advantage Galax had against the Bobcats, and an edge the Tide will have every week, is the fact that Galax uses a two-platoon system. Rare in double-A ball and virtually unheard-of in the state's smallest division, Galax has only two players seeing significant minutes on both sides of the ball.
That could prove to be the difference this week as Craig fields a roster only 24 names deep, including just 10 guys wearing linemen's numbers.
"Most of our guys are only going one way," Dixon said. "What was really helping us was during the week in practice. If I only practice one thing all week, I'm going to get competent at it, versus splitting time back and forth."
That advantage has softened a bit this week as a bug has worked its way through the team, and some regulars will not start due to having missed a practice while ill this week. But the advantage is a real one. Just ask Radford.
"At the end we were really starting to come on," Dixon said. "You would like to have played another quarter. You could see them starting to gasp a little bit and you could see our guys getting their second wind."
Jerad Brown was a workhorse for Galax with 23 carries for 97 yards against Radford. Jordan Vaughan didn't get his first carry until the fourth quarter, finishing with 44 yards on eight tries, as back spasms kept him off the field much of the night.
"We want to make sure he plays one game on Fridays, not two," said Dixon. "We have to split it up because he helps us so much on both sides of the ball. But we can't have him play all offense and all defense."
