Why It Could Make Sense To Get Rid Of Patents Entirely, Even If They Work In A Few Cases
from the capture-and-expansion dept
The initial eruption of small and large innovations leading to the creation of a new industry -- from chemicals to cars, from radio and TV to personal computers and investment banking -- is seldom, if ever, born out of patent protection and is, instead, the fruits of highly competitive-cooperative environments. It is only after the initial stages of explosive innovation and rampant growth end that mature industries turn toward the legal protection of patents, usually because their internal grow potential diminishes and the industry structure become concentrated.The report does a good job highlighting how innovative firms and innovative industries almost never use patents (or use them sparingly). This should indicate that the basis of the patent system (that it's needed to encourage innovation) is shaky at best. But, they note that what little research there is on this tends to be ignored. They even highlight research that finds that IP strengthening almost always happens during times of "deregulation" where researchers (including Judge Richard Posner) struggle to figure out why that would be. Boldrin and Levine argue that the confusion here is mainly due to thinking of patents as "property" rather than as a monopoly restriction:
A closer look at the historical and international evidence suggests that while weak patent systems may mildly increase innovation with limited side-effects, strong patent systems retard innovation with many negative side-effects. Both theoretically and empirically, the political economy of government operated patent systems indicates that weak legislation will generally evolve into a strong protection and that the political demand for stronger patent protection comes from old and stagnant industries and firms, not from new and innovative ones. Hence the best solution is to abolish patents entirely through strong constitutional measures and to find other legislative instruments, less open to lobbying and rent-seeking, to foster innovation whenever there is clear evidence that laissez-faire under-supplies it.
In fact, neither Landes and Posner nor, apparently, most industrial organization researchers, seem interested in figuring out why patents are either ignored or scarcely used in new and competitive industries while being highly valued and over-used in mature and highly concentrated ones. The point here seems to be that, being themselves strong advocates of the usefullness of patents in fostering innovations, the authors fail to recognize the intrinsic problem with the design of the institution itself. Being not a "property" right but rather a "monopoly" right, patent possessors will automatically leverage whatever initial rents their monopoly provides them with in order to increase their monopoly power until all potential rents are extracted and, probably, dissipated by the associated lobbying and transaction costs.Boldrin and Levine also hit back at the charge that abolition of the patent system is too extreme given that it already exists. They note that other bad laws of a similar nature have been ditched as well:
Economists fought for decades – and ultimately with great success – to abolish trade restrictions. It will not escape the careful reader that patents are very much akin to trade restrictions as they prevent the free entry of competitors in national markets, thereby reducing the growth of productive capacity and slowing down economic growth. The same way that trade restrictions were progressively reduced until reaching (almost complete) abolition, a similar (albeit, hopefully less slow) approach should be adopted to "get rid" of patents. Moreover the nature of patents as time-limited makes it relatively easy to phase them out by phasing in ever shorter patent durations. This conservative approach has also the advantage that if reducing patent terms indeed has a catastrophic effect on innovation the process can easily be reversed.They admit that the poster child for the patent system, the pharma industry, may have to face the biggest changes, but also suggest that there are plenty of ways to still create the necessary incentives, including both lowering the costs of clinical trials and using prizes to award key drug treatment developments.
It's an interesting read. I will admit that I'm not fully convinced that the argument makes sense -- but I find the argument a lot more persuasive than most others I've seen.

Difference between revisions of "Nordkapp"
Revision as of 14:25, 18 February 2007
Nordkapp is a municipality in the county of Finnmark, Norway.
Other destinations
The municipality encompasses mainly the island of Magerøya, but also parts of the mainland east and west of the fjord of Porsangen.
Most of the inhabitants live in the fishing village of Honningsvåg, but Nordvågen, Kamøyvær, Skarsvåg and Gjesvær are also important places.
The municipality's most famous point, after which it is named, is Nordkapp (North Cape). This 307 m high cliff is usually referred to as the northernmost point of Europe. Some 200,000 tourists visit annually, during the two to three months of summer. The neighbouring point of Knivskjellodden is, however, some 1,500 m further north.
The adventurous travellers who read this page should make their way East to Mehamn and walk or boat to Nordkyn, which any map will show is the real northernmost point of the Europe.
Get in
Most visitors arrive by car to Magerøya. From Honningsvåg it's a 30minute drive to the North Cape plateau. Honningsvåg is also the harbour for most of the cruise ships and the coastal express. The small airport is operated by www.wideroe.no.
When arriving by bicycle, be aware of the tunnel from the mainland. This is a 7km tube going 212m under the sea level. Good fun the first 3km, and remember the speed limit.
Get around
Everyone heads directly to the plateau and then back again, missing all the great nature. One important stop is Kirkeporten, the church gate. A short walk from the road there is a hole where the North Cape horn can be admired. This is a typical post card picture.
When doing a small hike on Magerøya you will see some of the over 3000 reindeer inhabiting the island, and you will also see why it is called the meagre island.
Stay safe
Stay inside the fence and you will be fine. The other great risk is to run out of film or free space on your memorycard.
Get out

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Nov 20, 2012) - Despite the global economy experiencing a major slowdown financial stocks have shown investors some pretty admirable gains. The Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLF) has gained 17.5 percent year-to-date, nearly 6 times the Dow Jones Industrial Average gain of 3 percent over the same period. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Regional Banking Industry and provides equity research on Regions Financial Corporation (NYSE: RF) and SunTrust Banks, Inc. (NYSE: STI).

Last week the Federal Reserve announced guidelines for the latest round of "stress tests," which they expect to release results for by late by 2013. The latest tests will focus on how the nation's 19 largest banks would handle major recessions in Europe, China and Japan. The passing of the "stress tests" are considered key as it enables large banks to increase dividends and share buybacks.
"For the majority of banks, we view the scenarios laid out for [the capital analysis and review for] 2013 as modestly more optimistic as the one used in 2012," Barclays analyst Jason Goldberg said. There will be a number of banks that "will return the majority of their 2013 net income to shareholders in dividends and buyback next year," he said.

A San Francisco Bay area transit police chief says critics of his agency are misguided, because Bay Area Rapid Transit is fully investigating the death of a BART police officer at the hands of his colleague.
Sgt. Tom Smith was shot and killed by fellow BART officer Michael Maes while they searched an apartment on Jan. 21.
Chief Kenton Rainey says in a bulletin sent to employees last week and obtained by The San Francisco Chronicle that a few individuals inside and outside the agency were undermining efforts to improve the force's reputation.
Rainey says BART's training on handling warrants and high-risk operations is adequate, but could be improved.
BART police have been the center of other controversies. On New Year's Day 2009, Oscar Grant III, an unarmed black passenger, was shot and killed at the Fruitvale station.

Previously I wrote about safely bicycling in Rolla and I advised against using sidewalks, even those designated as "bike paths". I noted that riding bicycles on sidewalks is specifically prohibited within the business district. On other sidewalks, bicyclists must always yield to pedestrians and must give an audible signal before overtaking or passing. Here I will expand on the hazards.
In a business district the doors open outwards directly onto the sidewalk. This is a double hazard as the door can smack the approaching bicycle and the customer steps out directly into the bicyclist's path.
Pedestrians on a sidewalk are under no rules of movement. Ever watch someone walking along, suddenly spotting something in a store window, or across the street, or turning to chat with another person, or spinning about having forgotten something, maybe while on a cell phone, perhaps all of these at once? These are perfectly normal actions that we never even think about. Now imagine passing through on a bicycle at 12-15 mph! She didn't notice you and you can't avoid her and oh no; a door is opening. Did I mention the toddler and the dog on a leash?
It's not funny! Running down a pedestrian can result in critical injuries and even death. Aside from the initial bone-breaking impact, both the pedestrian and bicyclist end up hitting hard objects like pavement and curbs, walls, plate glass windows, light poles, signposts, or cars. And it's entirely the bicyclist's fault!
Next, let's consider sidewalks and traffic. At intersections, drivers yield to pedestrians in the marked crosswalk but they are really watching for other cars. If the lane is clear and seeing no pedestrian immediately in the way, the driver rolls forward across the crosswalk and directly into the path of the unnoticed bicyclist speeding along the sidewalk. Driveways and parking lot entrances crossing sidewalks are even worse since there are so many more of them. Imagine bicycling on the sidewalk along Kings Highway or Bishop Avenue or 10th Street, blissfully gliding along and really appreciating all the smoothly-ramped handicap-accessible curbs. Yet at any driveway, a car might move up onto and block the sidewalk while waiting for an opening in traffic. A pedestrian simply stops and waits or walks around the car but for a speeding bicyclist, this is a serious panic stop or worse, a wreck.
Intersections are also problematic when there are no pedestrian crossings. There are no crosswalks at Kings Highway and Bishop Avenue. At Bishop and State Highway 72, the sidewalks don't even approach the curb; they just turn off. Especially disappointing is that both intersections were recently completely renovated yet no consideration was ever given to pedestrians, never mind bicyclists.
Rolla's Acorn Trail Network is also full of traps and hazards. Much of the Acorn Trail is simply city sidewalks designated as a "bicycle path" with all the dangers that entails. There are also several spots where the sidewalks are right up against buildings, resulting in dangerous blind corners. To make matters worse, the entire network is poorly marked. Heading east from Fairgrounds Road, the trail is along the south side of 10th Street until it suddenly just ends without warning at Holloway Street. There are no signs advising to cross over to Ber Juan Park to continue along on the other side of 10th. Perhaps it's "obvious" enough to figure out and continue. But then at Forum Drive there are no signs that the trail heads south along Forum and Pine Tree Road, and those sidewalks, like most of Rolla's residential sidewalks, are certainly too narrow for two-way traffic.
The "Fit Phelps" segment through Green Acres, Veterans Memorial and Southview Parks and the new "Dieble Loop" along Lions Club Drive are very nice recreational "Pedestrian Bikepaths" in the true sense of the phrase. Pleasant winding pathways suited for a leisurely stroll or bicycle ride, they have many blind spots and cross several roadways. Racing is specifically prohibited, rightly so! These paths are enjoyed by leisurely walkers and joggers and children and toddlers (afoot, in strollers, on tricycles and bicycles) and also leashed pets. All the rules of yielding to pedestrians apply. I often ride these segments but always slowly and frequently ringing the bell, and I am forever fascinated by how oblivious some people can be. My most memorable experience to date was a day-care group, about eight toddlers all tied together, literally, with one adult leading and another following. Upon seeing me approach, the adult holding the front of the file moved off to one side while the adult at the rear thoughtlessly moved to the other, thereby blocking the trail with an impromptu human fence, all giggling. It's only funny because I stopped. Had I been rushing, it would have been a catastrophe.
Bicyclists in a hurry have no place on sidewalks, not even on the Acorn Trail. Bicycles are vehicles and belong on the street. To get across town quickly and safely, ride with traffic, ride defensively, pay attention, and always obey the rules of the road.
I hope that I've dispelled some concerns and encouraged others to give bicycle riding a try. Perhaps we'll meet soon.
I'll ring my bell.

Ford Focus Sedan
Editor's Overview

2013 Ford Focus KBB Expert Review
Completely redesigned last year, the 2013 Ford Focus goes through some trim level simplification on the conventional side of its lineup but carries over the Focus Electric unchanged and adds a new dimension to the family with the high-performance Focus ST version (reviewed separately). A dynamic player in the super-competitive compact segment, the Focus matches its Ford One global design heritage with avant-garde styling and loads of premium touches that progressively build through S, SE and Titanium trim grades. Available as a 4-door sedan or 5-door hatchback, the Focus is a match for any of its key rivals, including the Chevrolet Cruze, Dodge Dart, Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte Mazda Mazda3, Nissan Sentra and Toyota Corolla.
You'll Like This Car If...
Delivering an outstanding mix of style and substance, the 2013 Ford Focus enriches its fundamentally solid and efficient basic package with the availability of class-leading technologies, including MyFord Touch, Active Park Assist and a PowerShift dual-clutch 6-speed automatic transmission – as well as offering a pure electric alternative.
You May Not Like This Car If...
The avant-garde kinetic design cues of the 2013 Focus won't please those with less adventurous tastes in styling, but an equally significant consideration involves its comparative pricing. While the Focus does delivers what it promises, the Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte can make legitimate cases for offering better bottom-line value.
What's New for 2013
Fully redone for 2012, the Ford Focus is largely unchanged for the 2013 model year except for the availability of a 5-speed manual transmission on the top-line Titanium trim level, the departure of the semi-premium SEL version in favor of a more comprehensively-appointed SE and the arrival of the hot, new Focus ST (reviewed separately).
Driving It
Driving Impressions
The Ford Focus has a robust structural foundation and features European-style suspension tuning that imparts a clear measure of fun to the driving experience. Even the base Focus S feels comfortable yet confident and responds quickly and predictably to all driver inputs. Although ride compliance suffers a bit as you move up through the model hierarchy – and particularly on Titanium versions fitted with the optional 18-inch wheels and 40-series tires – the Focus still merits above-average handling marks across the board. Its AdvanceTrak stability control is complemented by a torque-vectoring control system that helps the Focus slice through corners with enthusiastic competence, and well-modulated anti-lock brakes (front discs and rear drums on the S, 4-wheel discs with the SE, Titanium and Electric) deliver solid, drama-free stops. While the Focus Electric does trade a measure of dynamic sportiness for its more overtly-efficient character, even this super-green sibling leaves no doubt as to its basic heritage.
Favorite Features
Standard on Titanium trim levels, Ford's top-line infotainment and telematics package is based on an even more advanced – and now more user-friendly – application of the automaker's acclaimed SYNC voice-command system and includes a premium 10-speaker Sony sound system, with HD Radio, media hub, in-car Wi-Fi access and more.
Available on the auto-shifted SE 4-door sedan, the SFE Package includes auto-articulated, aero-optimizing grille shutters – an unseen mileage-enhancing element also found on most other Focus models fitted with the PowerShift transmission – as well as low rolling-resistance tires, wind-cheating wheel covers and a tasteful rear spoiler that collectively bring the car's EPA highway figure up to 40 mpg.
Vehicle Details
While not the roomiest in its class, the cabin on the Focus boasts the look and feel of a more expensive car, reinforcing that premium character with loads of soft-touch surfaces and an abundance of sound-attenuation materials. Legible instrumentation and well-positioned controls in all versions are complemented by an 8.0-inch full-color touch-screen that replaces the normal multifunction display on Titanium models with the MyFord Touch infotainment and navigation system. The rear seat is scaled for two mid-sized adults but decently padded for three kids. Folding the 60/40 rear seatbacks to a semi-flat position adds utility to the regular Sedan's 13.2-cubic foot conventional trunk and raises the capacity of the Hatchback's cargo area from 23.8 to 44.8 cubic feet. However, the battery pack puts a big dent in cargo space on the Focus Electric.
Both the Focus sedan and hatchback embody the latest iteration of Ford's "kinetic design" styling language that gives each one a more aggressive and aerodynamic appearance. The look is effectively reinforced by a lower, sleeker windshield rake and flowing roofline set off by smartly-stylized headlamp and taillamp treatments. A relatively long wheelbase and generous front and rear track dimensions contribute to an even more planted stance. Filling its tastefully-flared fenderwells are wheel and tire packages that range from 195/65 all-season tires on 15-inch steel wheels on the Focus S Sedan to 215/55 tires with 17-inch aluminum rims on Titanium models. The top-line Focus Titanium is also available with an optional 18-inch wheel upgrade that includes 235/40 performance tires as well as a sport-tuned suspension.
Notable Standard Equipment
Even the base Focus S sedan boasts an impressive complement of power assists, air conditioning, tilt/telescoping steering column, keyless remote entry, AM/FM/CD/MP3 radio, anti-lock disc/drum brakes and front, front-side and side-curtain airbags, while the SE – now infused with many ex-SEL features – adds SYNC with MyFord Driver Connect, cruise control, folding rear seat, 4-wheel discs, programmable MyKey and 16-inch tires on alloy wheels. The Titanium trim level has leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, push-button starting, SYNC/MyFord Touch, a 10-speaker Sony HD sound system, Sirius Satellite Radio and a 17-inch wheel and tire package. The richly-appointed Focus Electric features unique eco-fabric seat covers and adds voice-activated navigation.
Notable Optional Equipment
The Focus offers an impressive selection of model-specific upgrades. While the 6-speed dual-clutch auto-shifter and remote starting lead an intentionally modest list on the S four-door, the SE offers a comprehensive Appearance Package (leather, 17-inch alloys, foglamps, satellite radio, rear spoiler and more) and a Style Package (custom-colored leather, power moonroof, navigation, MyFord Driver Connect and Super Fuel Economy, Winter and Handling Packages); all those options are offered on all but the SFE 5-door model. Titanium buyers can choose a 5-speed manual transmission, moonroof, navigation, the Technology Package (Active Park Assist, front and rear sensors, rearview camera), Style Package, Winter Package and a Handling Package with dedicated sport suspension and 18-inch wheels and tires.
Under the Hood
All conventional 2013 Focus models are fitted with a naturally-aspirated, direct-injected 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that uses Ford's twin-independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT). This smooth, free-revver makes 160 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque and can be paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic. On the SE with Sport Package and Titanium models, the automated-manual transmission adds SelectShift capability via a rocker switch on the shift lever. Auto-shifted SE sedans with the mileage-maxing SFE Package rate a 40-mpg EPA highway rating but the economy star is the Focus Electric. With a 143-horsepower permanent-magnet motor energized by a 23 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, this ultra-clean hatchback returns a remarkable 105 MPGe combined rating from the EPA.
2.0-liter inline-4
160 horsepower @ 6,500 rpm

Pricing Notes
Positioned as a premium compact offering based on its impressive roster of advanced features and available upgrades, the 2013 Focus S and high-volume SE Sedan still start under $17,000 and $19,000 respectively with the entry-level SE hatch opening slightly under $20,000. However, the Titanium sedan and hatch push $24,000 and $25,000, respectively, in base form and can move beyond the $27-$28K marks when heavily optioned. In this ultra-price-sensitive segment, those numbers may have some buyers rethinking the relative charm of some alternative choices, particularly the Hyundai Elantra sedan and GT 5-door, both of which cost less and have a slightly better retained value. At $39,995 before any federal tax credits or state or local incentives, the Focus Electric also requires a fair bit of green from buyers looking to go greener.

I was expecting to hate this and was planning on writing a review killing it because I have never read a Justice League book before and starting at number 6 was super lame... but I actually liked this. I had no idea who Captain Atom was before I read this but Winick does a good job setting this up and he tells a pretty fun time travel story with a couple twist and turns that I did not see coming at all. There might have been a few characters I wasn't familiar with but it didn't ruin the story for me. The art was solid, I didn't hate it.
I doubt I will ever read a Justice League book again but I did enjoy this one.
by 48THRiLLS » Sat Jul 31, 2010 10:57 amNext weeks pick looks rad.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Sat Jul 31, 2010 10:58 amI think it worked out well that, even though it is part of a larger story, the mini-adventure of Cap was sort of a done-in-one.
Also they almost but not quite made him interesting.
by Amoebas » Sat Jul 31, 2010 11:24 amI picked JL: GN #6 for a couple reasons
1) nothing else really said "THIS is the one"
2) I love the series and thought it would be good to get it talked about.
The first thing struck me was the lack of Tony Harris on the cover. I loved the guy on Starman but his JL:GN covers have for the most part been an uter embarresment. A Cliff Chiang cover was most welcome and a great image of falling through time.
Inside, the first thing that struck me was the art. The book basically has three rotaing artists...
Aaron Lopresti (issues 1 & 5) just beautiful
Joe Bennet (issues 2 & 4) Not bad but not great
Fernando Dagnino (issues 3 & 6) meh
In the attempt to not compare Dagnino to the other artists from the book I still only call him 'passable' as his style resembles the old Captain Atom artist Rafael Kayanan (whom I never liked).
Storywise, well other have basically said it all ready. Typical super-hero stuff but then the entire tone is changed as Cap Atom gets a side story when he discovers where and when he is. Conventional time travel is turned upside down with the time twist and the full extant of Max Lord achievements are revealed (along with a nice suprise guest star).
Something else happened in this issue though. Judd Winnick told a damn good story.
I love the series and it's bi-weekly schedule as I can't get enough of it. Only 20 more to go before the finale.
Story - 9
Art - 5
Total - 7
by Zero » Sat Jul 31, 2010 1:03 pmJustice League: Generation Lost #6
While I would never call the old JLI comics bad, they've never held any appeal for me and while the characters seem to be wheeled out every few years for a moment in the sun it's rarely a positive experience for the fans. Countdown to Infinite Crisis springs to mind here. It's pretty surprising therefore that Judd Winick of all people has written something that is pleasing so many people.
I'm very much not the target for this story. I try to avoid reviewing books like this because my bias against more traditional fair isn't something I care enough to combat. While the twist was nice, giving us one kind of time travel story when we expected another, nothing else about the book made me want to either backtrack or move forward with the story. Competent is what I'd call this, with nothing glaring awful or dazzlingly brilliant happening anywhere down the line.
Oh DC, your house-style art is so so bland. The art churned out here by Dagnino is exactly what I'd expect from a mid-level DC superhero title. I have no idea what Keith Giffen's layouts added to or detracted from this story, but the figures and action layered on top of them left me with no real affection for the art.
It's a comic that I'd never have read without being prodded, and one I doubt I'll give a second thought once the review group moves on. Nothing special.
by Eli Katz » Sat Jul 31, 2010 1:49 pmI gave this issue to my nephew a few days ago. His assessment:
"It looked stupid, but it was actually cool."
by S.F. Jude Terror » Sat Jul 31, 2010 2:41 pmJL: GL #6 Review
Nobody needed to convince me that Justice League: Generation Lost was a great book. I've been on board since I heard it was announced, and not because I've a huge fan of the characters - in fact, I barely know them because I never read Justice League International - but because I feel that DC can really tell some great stories when they focus on some of their underdog characters and set out to tell one long, epic, coherent story. In that way, this series reminds me of 52, and I was excited to see what everyone else would think of it in the review group.
This issue takes a moment out of the regular story to show what happened when Captain Atom went into space to discharge the energy from the bomb left by Max Lord. The energy sends Captain Atom into the time stream for a little less than a day, and though time stream stories seem to be all the rage these days, this one approaches things a little differently.
For one thing, the setting when Captain Atom arrives appears to be about 150 years or so in the past. However, it turns out that this is actually a future world created when Maxwell Lord's dastardly actions, and the failure of the JLI to stop him, caused the death of all of the heroes and the end of the modern world, along with all the progress and technology that came with it.
The story presents two very interesting concepts. One is that the JLI must stop Maxwell Lord to prevent some kind of catastrophe, which offers a counterpoint to the last issue, which painted Max Lord in a nearly sympathetic light. Another is that this future world is, in all honesty, not so bad. It's simpler, with a lack of any kind of technology and, it would seem, superpowers, but it is not a post-apocalyptic wasteland, nor is there some evil tyrant oppressing the people, at least as far as we can see in this issue. Instead, it appears to be a peaceful, rural world which many people might find preferable to the modern one.
Best of all, this trip through time was completed in one issue, adding to the story without needlessly dragging it out, and adding an element of seriousness to the plot. This series as a whole has been good, clean, superhero fun, reminiscent of an earlier age in comics (the eighties), and I would highly recommend that anyone who's not picking it up jump on with this issue, which makes a great starting point.
by Amoebas » Sat Jul 31, 2010 6:11 pm
Once you discount the radioactive wasteland that Captain Atom visits
by S.F. Jude Terror » Sat Jul 31, 2010 8:35 pm
Yeah but that's just one area, they're living like Little House on the Prairie in the rest of the world, as far as we've seen.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Sun Aug 01, 2010 7:37 pm
Not really, that would just be one small area shown too then.
That being said, I am with Max Lord on this one.
by guitarsmashley » Sun Aug 01, 2010 8:45 pm
uhhhh..is there a house style that is any better? Vertigo ends up with some seriously bad artists in the name of gritty. Top Shelf and Aspen are pretty much awful silvestri, turner crap and Marve's is just as Boring as DC's.
by Mr_Batman » Sun Aug 01, 2010 8:59 pmAll I can say is that this was a damn good issue

I have a random mount macro active on most of my characters which rotates between some of my favorite mounts, currently for the undead hunter (who acts as my main at the moment, if only to collect mounts) and he currently has Sunreaver Dragonhawk, a few netherdrakes, green protodrake (yeah shortly after Cata came out I got my first protodrake ever) and Tyrael's Charger. Yes I do love dragons.
Mounts I'm missing but that I really want: Red Drake, Blue Drake, Black Drake, Sandstone Drake (Vial of sands), Frostwyrm, Green Drake (why isn't that in the game Blizz?) Twilight Drake, Blue Proto-drake, Quel-dorei steed (which my undead or troll can't get because they're Alliance-only for some annoying reason. All we get is another lame hawkstrider. There's only one cool hawkstrider and that is the Swift Red one, which is a lot easier to get since its only 5 champion seals and 500 g)
I do agree with the druid flightform thing (i use it quite often as well) but I still have a couple favorite mounts, one of those is the exact dragonhawk you posted, the red drake, and the dark phoenix, as well as the rusted proto-drake(since i have been trying for nearly two months to get that thing) and my favorite thing to gripe about, as well as some other WoW forum lurkers, is the reason that a green drake is not in the game currently is because of Blizzard's choice of expansions. Simply put, why the hell couldn't they make the emerald dream expansion?!?!

Michigan Avenue Bridge Postcard--Build Your Own Chicago
An important part of Daniel Burnham's Plan of Chicago, the opening of this bridge in 1920 extended Michigan Avenue northward across the Chicago River and allowed the development of the elegant shopping district known as the Magnificent Mile with the Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower just to the north. The lower deck of the trunnion bascule bridge separates freight traffic on Lower Michigan from surface traffic above. This card includes all pieces and instructions necessary to make a complete paper model at 1:1500 scale, approx. 3.25" long. All the cards in the Build Your Own Chicago series are mailable postcards, with space on the reverse for a stamp and address and a message. Each card also includes a short but informative description of the landmark the model represents. Instructions are included in the form of multi-lingual isometric diagrams. There is also a Build Your Own New York series.

A Traveller's History of Australia(2nd edition)John H. Chambers

' ...Australia, whose chequered past merits more than "convicts find gold then government", is laid open deftly, and we are effortlessly brought from 53,000 BC to the present day.' The Observer
Essential reading for travelers who wish to enjoy the amazing diversity of Australia, this book outlines the history of that great southern democracy from the arrival of the earliest Aboriginals some fifty or sixty thousand years ago to the present.The ancient Aboriginal way of life is described; early European sightings; and the establishment of the British convict colony in 1788, which dragged the continent into the modern world. The dynamic story of Australia in the twentieth century, its role in two world wars, the post-war discoveries of huge mineral deposits, its courting of Asia in recent decades, the return of vast areas of land to the Aborigines, and its confident cultural vibrancy in wine, food, film, and art are also examined.John H. Chambers was born in Queensland. He holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University and most recently was a visiting professor at City University of New York. This is his fifth book.

Janna Meyen Through The Years
You know that Janna Meyen conquered a crapload of slopestyle contests last season, including the 2004 X-Games. You know that she was voted Female Rider Of The Year at this year's TranWorld's Riders' Poll Awards. You know that she's a goddamn cool chick who makes no excuses and attacks life at the jugular.
However, what you might not know is that Janna has been around in snowboarding since, like, day one. "I wore Sorels and shit," she says. And it's true. Janna grew up a true Volcom grom, shredding big-jean style with the likes of Jeff and Billy Anderson, Jamie Lynn, and Joel Mahaffey-all documented in Volcom's epic The Garden. She's known for her don't-give-a-fuck, dude-like shred style, stepping to crazy street rails, and pushing it in the park. And now all of 27, she's still tearing everything apart-obviously.-J.S.

this is a bit redundant, but well, i guess it would be better if the game has its own thread in a more suitable sub-forum.

both : it can be played with only 1 player (the computer control the non player character, but absolutely no difficulty setting so far.)
but it is more a Multiplayer game, with Netplay option.
don't expect something like servers though : someone hosts a game, and the other players can join the host game with host IP.

in advance, i apology for the double posting ~~
i don't think this is offtopic, and since there isn't any discussion on this thread, until maybe the release of kai, i think this "should be ok" ^^"
i have a suggestion here : why not some organization for Netplay matches?
this is a big shame that people with the game don't enjoy the biggest fun of the marvelous daybreak brawling bash so...
here is my idea then (if you can't call an idea ~~) :
i would like people who are playing this game, and who wants to play netplay to show up here, and let some informations about their availability and other things.
of course, i don't ask blatantly your IP or anything.
the purpose of this idea is simple : it would be way easier to find HD players, origanizing matches via PM/Chat/Instant messengers/whatever.
here is my information :
currently, i got 2 EU players, and a third one soon.
of course, US players should show themself too (i don't think it will be THAT laggy but...)
meh... i hope it will attract some players here ^^"

Nice initiative! I can not join you for the moment, but maybe later. Newcomers to the game may have some help from the Higurashi Daybreak Wiki. Unfortunately it seems to not have been updated since december 2006, but may be helpful with the menues and the like. There is also some information in the World of Eternity Forum. If you play Higurashi Daybreak proper, do not forget the updates at Twilight Frontier.

Patch 1.11b has been released the 11th july.
you can download it here : http://tasofro.net/arc/daybreakdx_111bs.exe
the amount of change is HUGE, considering the patch notes.
Spoiler for snip for space, patch notes:
what i could get with babelfish :
-Keiichi's damage decreased
-Rena Axe and Ironclade Cleaver damage increased
-Akasaka's damage increased
if anyone thinks s/he is able to translate, please be my guest, the terminology is really technical.
it appear they also buff/nerf a lot the CS/FCS of various characters for their firing speed and all.
didn't test it at all, gonna do it tonight/tomorrow.

Anyone still play Daybreak Kai? I've always wanted to play online with other people and I just recently discovered a little program called Hamachi. A few people are in the network already. Though I haven't seen them on. So it'd be fun to get more people in there. The network name is: day break and the pass is: day break
Just like that.

Basically, one player host the game, and the other challengers join it with the IP.
Any slot left will be controlled by the IA, and you can have spectators as well.
I'm still playing this, and the information before are still applied.
I might join this hamachi network channel, though it would be a good idea to have more information, as hamachi hardly help issues with localisation. (i'm not sure if America <-> europe will have a good latency...)

Sure, you know that the next Yakuza game from Sega is leaving any semblance of gritty crime drama behind. But did you know that the guy with the bionic machine gun arm likes to cook? We can only hope that there's culinary side missions in Yakuza: Dead Souls when it hits next March. Using zombie meat, of course.

As a parent, I am witness daily to the mysteries of my daughter's growing-up and find myself rehearsing memories of my own childhood. This is an experience that many parents have. Noticing the substantial theological influences from books, cartoons and games in my daughter's life has made me reflect on the ones from my boyhood.
I always found public television's "Mister Rogers" an inviting and endearing presence. I grew up on his show, alongside Sesame Street and Electric Company. And when I was a young adult, I read a profile of Fred Rogers in a magazine and related to him in a new way. I learned about a man who went to seminary, continued to read and think about theology, and was an ordained Presbyterian minister. Of course, as a child I had no idea about the grown-up spiritual questions he lived with behind the scenes, but learning even a little more about his "private" theological life, that he still read and thought about the great questions that theology constantly puts before us, allowed me a small vantage into the nobility of a great teacher who had found the magic of living in two registers at once: the experiential worlds of childhood and adulthood, and of the fantasies and realities whose intertwining make each experiential world a journey worth inhabiting with as much consent and appreciation as one can muster.
Recently, some clips of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" were remixed into an auto-tuned song, "Garden of Your Mind," by John D. Boswell for PBS, apparently to help carry Fred Rogers (who died in 2003) and his message to a new generation, and to help spread the word about supporting PBS. I think this quality remix (see above) gives a good taste of the show, and more deeply, of the revelatory power of falling in love with the world that Rogers advocated. The song also provides a taste of the gentle psychedelia, a bidding strange and welcome, present in the show. This uncanny element -- a way of entering into the depth of things ruminatively -- occurs throughout the song: "scary things," "cat's eyes," the mysterious delivery of whistles and Rogers' brief rococo solo, and the recurring reference to "the garden of your mind."
Feeling directly addressed by Mister Rogers is an example of what every child deserves from their childhood teachers, and is one way that the education of children should inform the education of adults. (Here is a reflection from Rogers' friend and co-worker Rev. Eliot Daley on the God of Fred Rogers evident in his approach to educating children.)
I think about this especially when I teach my undergraduates, mostly 18-22 year olds who are in the midst of exploring fantasy/reality in the coda to the long conclusion to their childhood -- a conclusion never really concluded -- and the simultaneous commencement of their long entrance into adulthood. When their soul-explorations are brought intentionally into the curriculum of our classes, I am more able to remember what it means to teach persons who are well underway in their own journeys, persons who are not just wrestling with ideas, but who are, in the words of educational theorist Madeleine Grumet, "other people's children."
Curiosity has been a contested virtue in Christian traditions, but the cultivation of curiosity was one of Fred Rogers' most fundamental spiritual exercises. I agree with theologian (and Fordham colleague) Jeannine Hill Fletcher who argues for the experience and practice of "wonder" as a good of interreligious encounter, and I think that curiosity and wonder can anchor much more of a theological life than has sometimes been acknowledged. In Rogers' mantra, "It's good to be curious about many things."
This curiosity seemed to be the fruit of and reason for the deep gratitude for existence that Rogers taught. His 1997 acceptance speech upon receiving a lifetime Emmy award shows with an almost ancient-feeling equanimity what he was able to let through in his life. The keynote is gratitude for gifts received from others:
Fred Rogers talked about Mister Rogers' Neighborhood as "a place where friends help friends find the courage to grow." I hope that the theology classroom would always strive to become that sort of an environment, in service of the experience and practice of curiosity and of wonder. Thank you, "Saint Fred."

Perhaps more people would be willing to be the neighbors of another if they only took the time, as Jesus encourages us, to become like a child.
-Abraham Joshua Heschel
Who would think that something so simple as directly addressing a child could have such a profound effect upon both child and adult?!
I know I would.

In the religious community that exists in Beaufort County, that is so intent on protecting the life of a zygote/fetus, why does the same community forget the mother and child after such birth? Do pro-birthers believe a zygote/fetus is more important than a young child?
As a Christian I was taught "By their fruits you will know them." The Jewish community, I know from friends, has constantly been taught the value of life and to prove it by taking responsibility to aid the less fortunate.
And yet, we have heard a lot of sermons on abortion and birth control; but when was the last time we heard an intense one about our responsibilities to the less fortunate? In my parish, the priests' sermons dangerously advocate support of the Republican candidates. Dangerous? One slight step over the line in outright support would jeopardize the tax exemption of the Church.
Don't these religious leaders realize they are usurping the counsel and mandate of the Scriptures? Do they not realize in their support of the Republicans they are encouraging passage of a budget that cuts $3.3 trillion from low-income programs that force states to cut a minimum of 14 million children, uninsured, disabled, seniors in nursing homes from Medicaid? (Center for Budget & Policy Priorities).
A budget reflects the moral health of a nation. We should not eliminate the safety net to catch children or families who fell downward. The poor should not be in a competition contest for survival.

The list of Missouri communities standing together in opposition to proposed wireless communication legislation continues to grow.
The list of Missouri communities standing together in opposition to proposed wireless communication legislation continues to grow.
Local government officials from the cities of Gladstone, Kansas City, Cape Girardeau, Fulton, Hazelwood, Blue Springs, Trenton, Houston and Willow Springs traveled to Jefferson City recently to testify against wireless legislation they say could harm Missouri communities.
The city of Osage Beach was among the first in the state to raise a red flag at the end of the 2013 Legislative session about legislation that city officials said would take away a city's authority to regulate wireless towers within the community. The bill ultimately was found to be unconstitutional because of a problem with its title. However, the bill was reintroduced this year and is working its way through the legislature.
According to the Missouri Municipal League, SB 650 "diminishes and undermines municipalities' responsibility for land use and zoning regulations, causing a negative impact on the character of communities across the state. The bill allows a cell phone provider to replace or upgrade equipment used to provide wireless telecommunications services on or in existing structures with no local government zoning review or even a public hearing."
The bill also would allow wireless equipment to collocate on existing facilities — again, without any oversight allowed from local officials or residents. The placement of structures could include towers, buildings, water towers or even homes, according to the MML.
Osage Beach City Attorney Ed Rucker has led the charge on behalf of the city, crafting a letter to State Rep. Rocky Miller (District 124) that outlines the city's specific issues. He also testified on behalf of the MML in opposition to the legislation.
Alderman John Olivarri reported to the board at its meeting Feb. 6 that he recently attended senate and house subcommittee meetings on the proposed legislation.
"I'm not sure we have our representatives' and senators' attention on the issue," he said.
He noted that Osage Beach and other communities have sent letters to their respective legislators and committee members to restate the issue.
"We're still trying to get our point across," he said, again offering to meet with legislators about the issue. "It seems like (telecommunications) providers like AT&T have done a better job getting their message across than we have."
Alderman Kevin Rucker said if the legislation is passed and signed by Governor Nixon, cities might have to regroup next year and ask that the legislation be fixed.
Olivarri said even though changes have been proposed, "we don't seem to be heard. Why are the telecommunications people being heard over cities?"
Property reappraisal
Mike Welty, a staff accountant with the treasurer's office, gave a detailed review of how the city's property was recently reappraised.
He received a 300-page document that detailed the process of re-valuing the city's buildings and property of $20,000 or more.
"We didn't accept the information on face value," he said. "We did our own research. At the end of the day, we're better insured now."
The process included using an independent appraisal firm (American Appraisal) to review each of the city's buildings and contents. Welty was accompanied by Public Works Director Nick Edelman and city staffer Loyd Dunham. After the data was returned from the appraisal firm, Welty created a spreadsheet so the results could be analyzed. After some changes to the information, a working spreadsheet was completed.
Areas revalued were: City Hall, the water towers, lift stations, Lee C. Fine Airport, public works buildings and other incidentals.
"This was the first time we've had an independent company do the appraisal," Welty explained. "This is the first time since 2004 we've been through the process."
The revaluation is part of the city's partnership with its insurance carrier, Midwest Public Risk, and will be conducted again in five years.
Mayor Penny Lyons said staff will use the information to upgrade its insurance policy to make sure the city is not underinsured, and will report to the board about any changes in the city's premium.
Other business
•An open house/silent auction will be held this spring at the former location of Dragon House restaurant near the Grand Glaize Airport for people who want to buy any salvage from the building. The city bought the building (with help from a MoDOT grant) because the building was within the Runway Protection Zone. The building will eventually be torn down.
•APAC was low bidder on reconstruction of the Key Largo intersection on the west end of Osage Beach. Work should begin this spring, with completion by Memorial Day.
•Alderman Steve Kahrs questioned the decision by Charter Communications that will require its customers to rent High Definition boxes effective Feb. 25. He said residents of Kansas City and St. Louis get better service and better channels for less money. "This is going to cost our residents a lot of money," he said.

Lincoln – Top-ranked Texas proved worthy of its No. 1 seed on Saturday, as the Longhorns continued defense of their 2012 national title with a 3-0 sweep of No. 8 Nebraska in the NCAA Lincoln Regional final in front of 8,343 fans at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
In winning its school-record 10th consecutive postseason match, Texas handed the Huskers a home sweep (25-19, 25-22, 25-23) for the first time ever in the NCAA Tournament. Overall, Nebraska was swept in Lincoln for the first time in 24 years, dating back to a loss to No. 1 Hawaii on Oct. 2, 1989. Texas also became the first No. 1 team to win in Lincoln since Penn State in 1999.
With the win, Texas advanced to the NCAA Semifinals next weekend in Seattle. The Longhorns (27-2) will take a nation-leading 23-match winning streak into Thursday's semifinal against 12th-seeded Wisconsin. Texas is appearing in the NCAA Semifinals for the ninth time in school history and for the fifth time in the past six seasons.
Leading the way in the Longhorns' second regional final victory over Nebraska in five seasons was a strong block and an efficient night from All-Americans Haley Eckerman and Bailey Webster. Eckerman had 14 kills, while Webster produced 12 kills and hit .500. Together, the duo combined for 26 kills and only three errors on 73 swings, while Eckerman added a double-double with a team-high 15 digs. Khat Bell and Chiaka Ogbogu added seven kills eac and Hannah Allison recorded 37 assists to help Texas hit .266 in the match.
Molly McCage led a big blocking effort for the Longhorns with eight stuffs, helping Texas out-block Nebraska 14-3. The block helped Texas to the sweep despite being out-killed and out-dug by the Huskers.
Nebraska finished its season with a 26-7 record. The Huskers were led by an outstanding performance from Big Ten Player of the Year Kelsey Robinson. In her final match, Robinson delivered a match-high 21 kills, while adding 12 digs to produce her 19th double-double of the season. Kadie Rolfzen added her 13th double-double with 12 kills and 12 digs. Justine Wong-Orantes produced a match-high 17 digs to lead NU to a 63-58 advantage in digs. Mary Pollmiller added a match-high 41 assists for the Huskers.
In set one, Texas jumped out to a 5-1 lead and never trailed. The Longhorns put down kills on three of their first five swings and blocked Nebraska twice to force an early Husker timeout. Texas stretched the lead to six with the first point out of the timeout, and the Huskers closed to within three on numerous occasions but Texas would let Nebraska get no closer. Consecutive Longhorn blocks fueled a 4-0 Texas run that pushed the lead to 21-14. Nebraska answered with three straight points to trim the lead to four but Texas called a timeout and quickly pushed the lead back to six before closing out a 25-19 victory on Ogbogu's fifth kill of the set. Eckerman had six kills on 17 error-free swings, as Texas hit .293 in the opening set. Nebraska was blocked five times and committed nine hitting errors in the set while hitting just .106.
Serving played a key role in the start of set two, as a pair of Texas serving errors and a Husker ace helped Nebraska to an early 5-2 advantage. The teams then traded sideouts until Texas used a pair of stuffs to win five straight rallies and take a 14-12 lead, forcing a Husker timeout. Nebraska quickly tied the set with the first two points out of the timeout before regaining the lead at 16-15 on Robinson's 10th kill of the match. The Huskers pushed the lead to 18-16 after winning a joust at the net to end a long rally, forcing Texas to spend a timeout. The Longhorns came out of the timeout on fire, winning four of the next five rallies to go back on top 20-19 and forcing a Husker timeout following back-to-back Texas blocks. UT pushed the lead to two at 22-20 and earned a 25-22 win on the Longhorns' 10th block of the match. Nebraska produced two more kills than Texas in the second set, but the Longhorns out-blocked the Huskers 5-1.
At the break, Texas had three players with at least five kills, including Eckerman and Weber, who combined for 20 kills with only one error. Nebraska was forced to rely on Robinson and Kadie Rolfzen in the opening two sets, as that duo combined for 25 of the Huskers' 30 kills on 65 of Nebraska's 98 swings. The rest of the NU roster combined for only five kills and six errors in 33 attacks.
The teams traded early leads in set three before Nebraska built a 10-7 advantage fueled by four kills on six swings from Melanie Keil off the bench. Nebraska coult not hold the lead however, as three Husker hitting errors in a span of five rallies helped Texas pull even at 11-11. Another Nebraska error out of a timeout gave the Longhorns a one-point advantage before a Texas error put Nebraska back on top, 13-12. The Huskers stretched the lead to two at 16-14, before consecutive Amy Neal aces put Texas back in front, 18-17. The Longhorns would never relinquish the lead and capitalized on a free ball to take a 24-22 lead on Webster's 12th kill of the match. Nebraska fought off one match point before NU's fifth service error of the match sealed the sweep. Nebraska out-hit Texas for the only time in the match in the third set, but the Huskers still committed seven attack errors, while the Longhorns never had more than four errors in any set.

John Ybarra, a 2012 US Olympic Trials competitor who has also competed in the shot put at the last three USA track and field championships, joined the Yale track and field staff as throws coach in the winter of 2012-13.
Ybarra came to Yale with an impressive list of accomplishments both as a competitor and as an assistant coach. He finished fifth at the 2011 USA Indoor National Track and Field Championships and finished 2010 ranked in the top 20 in the shot put in the United States. He was a five-time Division II All-American in the shot put at Adams State College, where he also earned Academic All-American honors.
From the spring of 2008 through the spring of 2012, Ybarra served as an assistant coach at Adams State, helping the men's team win the NCAA Division II team championship indoors in 2010 and outdoors in 2012. He coached the 2009 indoor national champion in the shot put, and his throwers earned 14 All-American honors. One of his female throwers had the fifth-furthest discus throw in NCAA Division II history (180'9"). In addition to coaching a 2008 Olympic qualifier in the women's discus, Ybarra coached his athletes to 32 NCAA Division II national qualifying marks. Ybarra also spent time as the team's recruiting coordinator, and was part of the staff when Adams State hosted the 2010 and 2011 NCAA DII Indoor Track and Field Championships.
Since Ybarra took over as throws coach, Yale has continued to achieve great success in all of the throw events. Apart from star Mike Levine, several other athletes have emerged as scoring threats, and the discus and hammer throws, especially, have emerged as strengths of the team.
Ybarra earned his B.A. in human performance from Adams State in 2007, then earned an M.A. in that same field from Adams State a year later. He earned the 2008 NCAA DII Post-Graduate Scholarship Athlete of the Year Award. In 2011 he added an M.B.A. in public administration from Adams State.
Ybarra has been working as a sports performance trainer at MVP Sports Holland since September. He was Director of Strength and Conditioning at Adams State from Jan. 2011 through May 2012, and also served as a strength and conditioning coach there from August 2008 through December 2010.


text: April to Start Off Cool in Midwest Before Chill Heads East March 27, 2014 04:25 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email The Midwest and Great Lakes will start April cooler than normal before those low readings shift to the East later in the month, forecasters said. Temperatures may be below normal by 3 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit (1.6 to 2.7 Celsius) from Iowa to western New York and lower in parts of North Dakota and Minnesota from April 1 to April 5, said Matt Rogers, president of the Commodity Weather Group LLC in Bethesda, Maryland. More seasonal readings are forecast for parts of the Northeast and South. "A very active pattern is forecast to affect North America over the next two weeks," Rogers said. "An onslaught of weather systems keeps conditions changing frequently from day to day over the Midwest, East, South and even in the West with pulses of Pacific energy rotating through the flow." Warm air may move across the country in front of that storm system, changing the forecasts, said Mickey Shuman of Weather Services International in Andover, Massachusetts. Meteorologists aren't sure whether that system will affect the Northeast. "Forecast confidence is only about average thanks to the highly changeable, energetic pattern," Shuman wrote in a forecast today. By April 6-10, temperatures in the East may reach 3 degrees below normal, seasonal in the center of the country and 3 to 5 degrees above normal in the West, Rogers said. The normal average temperature in New York on April 4 is 49, according to MDA EarthSat Weather in Gaithersburg, Maryland. It's 44 in Boston, 45 in Chicago, 53 in St. Louis, 67 in Houston and 36 in Calgary. Back to news
