No. 10 Bearcats shake off Houston for 73-62 win
CINCINNATI (AP) The game plan has become common for Cincinnati.
Play close games, and turn it over to the seniors in the end.
It worked again on Saturday for the 10th-ranked Bearcats.
Sean Kilpatrick scored 28 points, 19 in the second half, and Justin Jackson overcame foul problems to add 13 points, all in the second half, as the Bearcats shook off Houston, 73-62.
Jackson and Kilpatrick teamed up to score 32 of Cincinnati's 44 points in the second half to keep the Bearcats in the game until they could pull away.
"We're seniors," said Jackson, who was limited to 20 minutes by his foul problems. "This is our team. We know what we need to do to help the team win. In the last five or six minutes, we know we need to step it up."
Coach Mick Cronin has seen it so often that he's come to count on it.
"A lot of that is Justin and (Kilpatrick) and (senior forward) Titus Rubles, and a lot of that is habit," Cronin said. "Hopefully, it will serve us well in March, when everybody is good and games are close. We get a heightened awareness defensively. We get hard to score on on defense. I don't like to belittle Houston's effort. They were making good plays and getting good shots. Late in the game, our defense was what it needed to be."
Houston coach James Dickey has seen enough of Kilpatrick, who also had six assists, five in the second half
"I was proud of our team, but certainly, Cincinnati is deserving of being a top 10 team," Dickey said. "Kilpatrick, what a special player he is. I thought he was terrific in the second half. He made big plays and put the team on his back."
Shaquille Thomas added 11 points for the Bearcats (23-3, 12-1 American Athletic Conference), who were playing their first game since having a 15-game winning streak snapped with a 76-55 loss at SMU on Feb. 8.
Danrad Knowles scored 11 points to lead Houston (12-13, 4-8), which has lost six of its past seven and eight of its past 10 games, led Houston with 11 points. L.J. Rose, Danuel House and TaShawn Thomas each added 10 for the Cougars.
"Our guys competed," Dickey said. "It was a three-point game with about 2 1-2 minutes to go and (Ge'Lawn) Guyn hit two 3s off great penetration by Kilpatrick. When you look at it, both teams in the second half had trouble getting stops. They shoot (60.7) percent and we shoot (61.9) percent in the second half. We went through a stretch there in the last couple of minutes where we couldn't get a basket and they got more stops than we did, and that turned out to be the difference in the game."
The lead changed hands throughout, the last when Jackson's dunk made it 59-57. Guyn added back-to-back 3-pointers as Cincinnati ended the game with an 18-5 run.
"I thought this was a great experience for us today, the way we had to execute to win this game in the second half," Cronin said. "Houston had a highly efficient offense until we were able to lock in late in the game and get some defensive stops. It was good to have to deal with that. It makes us a better team."
The game drew a crowd of 13,176, Cincinnati's first sellout since a 60-56 win over then-Big East-rival Louisville on Feb. 23, 2012. The 13th-ranked Cardinals are scheduled to be at Cincy for a key AAC matchup next Saturday.
"It was a sellout?" Kilpatrick responded when he heard that. "That's great. It shows the fans are getting excited. It shows they're behind us. That's huge."
Kilpatrick scored nine points in the first half, five while Cincinnati was ending the half with a 7-0 run for a 29-28 lead. That came after the Cougars had used a 9-1 run to open up the biggest lead for either team before intermission 28-24 with 2:54 remaining.

What you get
In the box we found the phone, a 1500 mAh battery, a 64 MB miniSD (hot swap supported), a CD, a user manual and a quick start guide, a US charger, a USB cable, and a single-ear mono handsfree. There is no SD adaptor for the miniSD card (the device itself can function as a flash reader), and no belt-clip case. At 144 grams and 117x69.7x14 mm, the E61 resembles a small PDA in terms of size. It is as long as most PDAs are, but it's a bit less wide and much thinner. Think of the E61 as a big phone, or a small PDA. The device is considerably smaller than a Blackberry.
The device features a QWERTY keyboard, IrDA, Wi-Fi 802.11i/e/g, over 64 MBs free for the user, quad-band GSM/EDGE & 2100 WCDMA antennas, vibration, and Bluetooth 1.2. As this is a business device there is no camera. On the left of the device there are two buttons to change the volume of the device up and down, while a button below it opens the sound recorder which starts recording immediately after pressing it (this might cause a bit of a security problem in some companies/organizations). Below the device you will find the charging port, the pop-port which acts as a host to the USB cable & the headset, and at the very right of the device there is the IrDA port. Above the screen you will find a small white light which lits up when you receive email (push email supported) and a power button which controls the lock of the device/keyboard, the power on/off of the device, and the profiles.
The screen deserves a special mention. It is a 2.8" 320x240 landscape QVGA non-touchscreen LCD that sets itself apart from the rest by being a true 16 million color screen. Next to our QTek 9100 65k 2.8" QVGA screen, it's like a day and night. Grandients and pictures just look much better on the E61.
The good
The S60 3rd Edition Symbian v9.1 OS is super fast on this device. Readers online claim that the E-series is using a faster CPU (at around 250 Mhz) than the N-series (~220 Mhz), but we can't confirm this as Nokia doesn't disclose the CPU used or the amount of RAM. The OS loads in about 35-40 seconds, but after it's loaded it is fast and responsive. In my experience, it's as responsive as PalmOS (compared to the Treo), a bit more responsive than Windows Mobile 5 (compared to my 195 Mhz QTek 9100 WM5-AKU2), and a whole world faster than both my Motorola Linux phones (which use a 312 Mhz CPU) and my Motorola M1000 Symbian 7.1 UIQ 2.1 (175 Mhz ARM).
The second best feature of the phone after the screen and speed, is its Qwerty keyboard. It is wide enough to be used with either one or two hands. Personally, I am small-built so I find it easier to use both my hands to type (my thumb is not long enough to get to the two outmost buttons), but most men will have no problem at all using the thumboard with a single hand. I write extremely fast on this E61 keyboard, much more than I ever could with the Treo I have tried in the past (the Treo is not as wide, so its buttons are smaller). When you are on the main screen, the designated keys work only as numerical keys, so you can dial out fast.
The presense of WiFi is a very welcome one. Together with Bluetooth and IrDA it brings new means of wireless short-range communications to the device. I had no problem at all scanning for new networks or creating a permanent access point in my home. Bluetooth and IrDA worked flawlessly but sometimes WiFi would disconnect all by itself while browsing. After using this little hack I was able to fully use the phone with a Mac/iSync too.
My personal favorite feature of the phone is the new S60 browser, based on Safari's/KHTML's engines. It doesn't do re-organization of content (only plain text on a given table cell it tries to fit on screen) and it features a... Mouse cursor (which can be controlled via the on-board 5-way joystick). This browser is fast. And when I say fast, it's faster than Opera 8.60 on the same phone and faster & more powerful than the S40 browser (which is ported to S60 and is still serving as the WAP browser of the device). The S60 browser's engine doesn't support WAP, flash, or java (even if both technologies are present on the phone), but it supports RSS, has a multimedia plugin that loads Real Player and supports auto-bookmarking. You can read a review of the browser here.
Speaking about the Real Player, I found its QVGA video playback adequate (and fullscreen playback looked great). It supports 3gp, mp4 and Ra. Unfortunately, it wouldn't stream though, as it is supposed to do. WiFi immediately disconnects after connecting to Real content (even at Real.com's test site). Real also supports AAC, mp3, mid, amr, realaudio and WAV. The phone proved to be a good mp3 player too, either by using Real Player or its other, native mp3 player.
This is an enterprise device, so communication features are all over the board: Blackberry email, Instant Messaging (wireless village, OMA), IMAP4/POP3 email (Intellisync Wireless Email, ActiveSync Exchange, Visto email technology, BlackBerry Connect, GoodLink, Seven Always-On Mail and Gmail are supported), presence, VPN, Push-to-Talk (we couldn't test it though as Cingular hasn't "opened" this feature to non-Cingular phones), SyncML, and of course SIP VoIP. The phone can function via an IrDA/Bluetooth or a USB modem to a client OS. And when connecting the USB cable the phone will ask you if you want it to function as miniSD's flash reader (Windows won't "see" the phone's main storage because the internal flash is not FAT) or as a IP passthrough.
The E61 comes with lots of useful business software: printer management, presentation support (via USB), spreadsheet and word processing via QuickOffice's goodness, a zip application, WorldMate (view the weather/time on 3 cities at the same time), voicemail, notes, calculator, a units converter, speed dial, GPS support (via an external bluetooth GPS module or via GSM triangulation), a Macromedia Flash player (no browser plugin though) and voice command. A basic Blackberry and Exchange support has been added too. Nokia also added a 3D game, Golf Pro 2. I am sure that many business people would appreciate some golf in their spare time...
The OS itself supports themes, profiles, and my favorite: third party native applications. So far, only about 20-25 applications have been ported over to 3rd Edition, but more applications are coming fast, every day. I successfully installed Putty (great for SSH'ing using the keyboard), the Screenshot utility, PDF reader, Smartmovie (supports DivX playback), ProfiMail (the best usage of a QVGA screen ever -- not a single pixel goes wasted), Internet Radios, Opera 8.60, and the beta of Agile Messenger (which currently doesn't support the landscape QVGA resolution very well). On the Java MIDP-2.0 front I tried Opera Mini and Google Maps and both worked great. A game I tried though, vPoker v1.1, wouldn't uncompress (the phone complained that the .jar file was not valid).
One new feature of S60 3rd Edition is the active standby. You can switch applications by pressing-and-holding the "main menu" button and when going back to the front stand-by screen you can view your application feeding information to that screen. Of course, the application itself must support this feature. Think of "active standby" a bit like a simpler version of Windows Mobile's Today plugins.
Finally, the device has exceptionally good battery life, it yielded over 7 hours GSM talk (with UMTS turned off here in USA).

Five miles from Ypres, in a quiet courtyard in the village of Poperinge, stands a pole of the sort used to support the twining vines of hops, a common local crop. It is about the height of a man. Just behind it is a steel plaque engraved with a verse from Kipling's 'Coward': "I could not look on death, which being known, men led me to him, blindfold and alone."
It doesn't look much, especially when you compare it to the vast memorials of the Menin Gate and Thiepval, and I suppose seeing as it as a memorial to those men who were executed by their comrades for refusing to continue the fight – deserters as they are commonly called – it is understandable. The whole business of deserters goes against the glorified image of the Great War, of men linking arms and taking the fight to the enemy, no matter what the hardship. No, this is not something the authorities then (and to some extent, now) want many people to remember, it is perhaps a dirty piece of history they would rather wash their hands of.
The thing is, these people (Over 300 British soldiers were executed for cowedice/desertion) were human too. Fathers, sons, brothers, lovers…normal people who just reached the end of their tether in an environment so extreme that is impossible to imagine what it was like for them. They were not born soldiers, they were accountants, farmers, mill workers, shoesmiths…normal people going about their normal business until the whole of Europe went completely mental in 1914. Then they were ordered to kill people they had no real gripe with – just because the politicians and the C-in-C said they had to.
Can we really blame them for wanting out?
My point is, these soldiers should not be forgotten, they should not be treated any differently than those people who were killed in action, died of wounds, got taken prisoner or survived the whole show. So it is nice to see the Flanders Museum, located in the Cloth Hall at Ypres, now has a dedicated section to these soldiers…
I suppose it's better late than never.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — March 2, 2011 — According to the SEMI World Fab Forecast report just released, spending on worldwide fab projects, including construction, facilities, and equipping, could grow by 22 percent over 2010 levels with fab equipment spending (new and used) to grow by 28 percent over 2010 levels. This latest projection is based on analyses of recently announced increases in capital spending plans, mainly by foundries and memory companies.
"Total spending on fab projects could approach $47.2 billion this year, above the estimated $38.6 billion spent in 2010," said Christian Gregor Dieseldorff, senior analyst of fab information in the SEMI Industry Research and Statistics group. "2011 spending will finally exceed the peak year's 2007 fab spending of $46.4 billion." Table 1 compares investments on fab equipment and construction, and how those rates compare to the record high levels set in 2007.
Table 1: Front End Fab Spending over Time
Source: SEMI World Fab Database Reports (February 25, 2011)
Some companies will spend record amounts in 2011, reaching historic record levels. For example, TSMC increased capex from a record $5.9 billion in 2010 to another record high of $7.8 billion in 2011. Intel increased capex from $5.2 billion in 2010 to $9.0 billion in 2011. GLOBALFOUNDRIES doubled its 2010 capex from $2.7 billion to $5.4 billion in 2011.
Most spending is directed towards upgrading existing facilities, as companies try to avoid overcapacity and oversupply. Prior to the economic downturn, capacity growth from 2004 to 2007 ranged from 14 to 23 percent per year. SEMI's World Fab Forecast predicts slower but steady growth in capacity, about 9 percent for 2011 and 7 percent for 2012 (excluding Discrete devices). Annual capacity growth rates in 2013 and 2014 are also expected to hover around 7 percent.
While there is record spending on Fab equipment, few new facilities are on the horizon. In 2010, 34 new volume fabs began construction, most of them for LED fabs. In 2011, only seven facilities have a high probability of being realized. Four more are likely to start in 2012. The largest segment for new fabs is the LED industry, and the SEMI World Fab report lists only five new LED fab projects are likely to begin construction in 2011.
Comparing new construction projects over the past 10 years to the coming two years, we see a rapid slow down, especially for new 300 mm fabs. In 2010, SEMI's World Fab Forecast identified seven 300 mm volume fabs (excluding R&Ds and pilots) beginning construction. However, in 2011, only Intel's fab is predicted to start in mid-2011. In 2012, three 300 mm fabs will begin construction— two of which are potential candidates for 450 mm-ready cleanrooms.
For the first time, SEMI's World Fab Forecast data identifies seven facilities (R&Ds, pilots and volume fabs) in the near future that are candidates for 450 mm readiness. The first facilities are expected to come on line in 2013, though it remains to be seen if enough mature 450 mm tools will be available to fully equip a high-volume fab.
The SEMI World Fab Forecast report uses a bottom-up approach methodology, providing high-level summaries and graphs; in-depth analyses of capital expenditures, capacities, technology and products by fab. Additionally, the database provides forecasts for the next 18 months by quarter. These tools are invaluable for understanding semiconductor manufacturing in 2011 and 2012 will look, and learning more about capex for construction projects, fabs equipping, technology levels, and products. Learn more about the SEMI fab databases at: http://www.semi.org/MarketInfo/FabDatabase.
The SEMI Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Subscription (WWSEMS) data tracks only new equipment for fabs and test and assembly and packaging houses. The SEMI World Fab Forecast and its related Fab Database reports track any equipment needed to ramp fabs, upgrade technology nodes, and expand or change wafer size, including new equipment, used equipment, or in-house equipment.

(Sydney) November 1, 2012 — The Jesuit Refugee Service office in Sydney is located in an inner city Jesuit parish. Each day the parish ministers to many hundreds of homeless who come to the soup kitchen. Our office is located on top of this soup kitchen.
Rarely do the clients from either ministries mix, though both groups share similar concerns about finding adequate and safe accommodation.
Recently Said appeared at the door of the JRS office. A volunteer in the kitchen had referred him to our services. He spoke quickly and showed signs of his distress. We invited him to meet with one of our case-workers.
From minute one it was clear that Said was struggling. Our deeper discussion revealed that he had been in Australia some years and had a protection visa. He had formerly served in the army in Iraq and had witnessed the death of all of his family. We could see he was a man of stature. What was not so clear, until we delved deeper, were the years of addiction and trauma that Said had struggled with since arriving in Australia.
Business cards and appointment slips revealed that Said had bounced from agency to agency, clinic to clinic in search of 'peace.' In recent days he had been allocated an apartment from public housing, only to return the keys because the confined space of the apartment evoked disturbing images of his deceased family.
For many refugees a visa is the beginning of a new struggle, not the end. Psychological trauma and loss can be completely debilitating to even the strongest of personalities. We can advise, refer and offer treatment. Sometimes all we can do is stand by. In times like these it is God alone who provides strength and healing.
By Maryanne Loughry — Jesuit Refugee Service Australia & Boston College
Then they sailed to the territory of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
When he came ashore a man from the town who was possessed by demons met him. For a long time he had not worn clothes; he did not live in a house, but lived among the tombs.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him; in a loud voice he shouted, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me!"
For he had ordered the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (It had taken hold of him many times, and he used to be bound with chains and shackles as a restraint, but he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into deserted places.)
Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.
And they pleaded with him not to order them to depart to the abyss.
A herd of many swine was feeding there on the hillside, and they pleaded with him to allow them to enter those swine; and he let them.
The demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran away and reported the incident in the town and throughout the countryside.
People came out to see what had happened and, when they approached Jesus, they discovered the man from whom the demons had come out sitting at his feet. He was clothed and in his right mind, and they were seized with fear.
Those who witnessed it told them how the possessed man had been saved.

Ah, DD. Nothing ever changes.
Haven't really played in a few months. Thought I'd stop in.
I'm positive the devs all have Lujo on ignore, as I do, but it seems to me that his goal is to reduce the complexity of the game to where there is one class, one race, one god (with no boons), and the only item is the spoon (potions and glyphs have all been removed, too). ... and he'll still be bitching about how easy the game is, only now, no one but him will buy it, because it's not any fun anymore.
While the rest of the vets do in fact provide largely constructive feedback (well, except that they all want it to be harder and yet for their mis-clicks to not be punished, a contradiction I'll never understand), the fact of the matter is that they are already good at the game. If DD is like a Rubik's Cube, they've either read the solution or figured it out themselves, and can now do it in their sleep. They want a new challenge, something to keep the game new and interesting. Never mind that said Cube is already too hard for a lot of people to figure out... or is it just not any fun?
I gladly bought the game over a year and a half ago, and it's been fun to watch the game evolve. I'm not great at it; but my goal was never to be the best at DD. I just wanted to have fun. And it was. Until last week I had 100% completion on VHoS. That felt great. It took me three weeks to get my first three wins on the old VHoS, before the AAs got their nerf. Talk about a challenge...
Maybe I'm just bitter my poison toy got taken away (I'll admit that it was probably too strong. But it sure was fun!). Maybe I'll find something new that's fun. But it seems like every time I do find something fun, it gets nerfed out of existence. Sure, some things are overpowered: Dracul briefly gave piety for every time you used lifesteal! That was awesome! And I can see why that was clearly a mistake. But some of the changes, especially the more recent ones, seem biased towards giving the vets new challenges at the expense of any chance of fun for the new players.
So, I don't know. I don't really have a point. I know I'm echoing the guy below who's frustrated. But if I log in one day and the Assassin doesn't have Swift Hands, well, I can rest assured that Lujo has won: the game is likely not fun at all anymore, and I don't need to bother playing.
God, that all sounds so negative. I don't want to be negative. It's a great game. I guess I'm saying: don't nerf everything until the game is no fun, just because six people on your message board are good at the game.

Your last line of defense
When it comes to winter riding apparel, aside from the feet, the head is the most neglected part of the body. When you think about it, this is an absurd notion. After all, whether you're on the hoods or in the drops, your head takes the brunt of oncoming wind. So, if you have the slightest care for your ears or well-being, you need to slip on the Assos fuguHelm Cap.
The fuguHelm cap benefits from a similar combination of materials as Assos' iJ.Habu jacket. It has a stretchy, windproof front to shield you from cold winds, yet the back portion breathes easily and provides the perfect level of insulation to keep you warm and comfortable. Assos gave the cap a short bill that can be flipped up or down, and two short elastic loops over each ear that allow you to tuck in the temples of your glasses.
The Assos fuguHelm Cap is available in the color Black Volkanga and in Size I (53-58cm) and Size II (58-63cm). Assos places the cap in its climaRange.7 category, or in non-Assos-speak, extreme winter. The fuguHelm is designed for sub-freezing conditions, so be aware that any temperatures over 32 degrees Fahrenheit will start to feel a bit toasty.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I've tried all manner of options under my helmet for the 0° - 10°C range with varied success. This thing is pricey, like most Assos kit, but as usual they don't disappoint. Somehow this manages to be warm without being sweaty, keeps the ears comfy, has a brim that keeps the low angle sun at bay, fits nicely under your helmet. Fantastic.
Exactly as advertized
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have been using this cap for > 3 seasons. I use it for temps below 40 degrees F generally. It is much warmer than any other skullcap or helmet liner I have used. It breathes so well in fact that my head is still dry even when riding if unexpectedly warm temps arrive suddenly. It is way more comfortable, (and warmer) than adding a balaclava, at least for me. The brim is just long enough to keep early AM low winter sun at bay and fold up to help evaporate moisture a little faster. Is it worth the extra money compared to others? If your earlobes don't freeze, you can hear oncoming traffic despite the ear flaps on your current hat, your fingers and toes aren't cold, and you have no complaints after a winter ride at 25 degrees you don't need to spend the extra for this hat. Otherwise, worth every penny!
Can this hat be worn underneath a bike helmet?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A qualifying race for Alaska's Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race has been canceled due to warm weather, the second mid-distance Iditarod qualifier to be called off.
Race officials called off the Tustumena 200 sled dog race on the Kenai Peninsula on Friday.
A run of mild weather and rain wiped out much of the snow in south-central Alaska, the Anchorage Daily News reported (http://bit.ly/1cftNMp). Earlier this week, the Northern Lights 300 at Big Lake was also canceled.
The high temperature Friday in Anchorage reached the upper 40s, according to the National Weather Service.
Race director Tami Murray says the forecast forced their decision on the race, which usually runs from Clam Gulch to Homer and back.
"We just don't have the snow and way too much water in the hills to put together a quality race," Murray said in an email. "We've looked at all possible options and with the 10-day forecast (trust me we've looked at them all) we feel this is the right decision."
Reigning Iditarod champion Mitch Seavey topped the field signed up for the Tustumena.
Other events, including a high school cross-country ski race and a fat-tire bike series, were canceled.
The Nordic Ski Association of Anchorage thought it had saved the high school race by moving it from Kincaid Park to higher elevations, but found water there, too.
Dubbed the Slush Cup, the race was canceled after a course inspection by the ski club's John Christopherson. At 10 a.m. Friday, the temperature was 48 degrees and the wind was howling, he said.
"I feel that we cannot guarantee a safe race for 400-500 skiers," Christopherson said. "We can't fight the weather. So let's admit the conditions and find something else besides skiing for this weekend."

PushStartSelect: "With this generation coming to an end, and a new one beginning shortly, we thought we would highlight some of the best moments this generation. Read more on our main article about our full week covering it all! Today we want to cover graphics and what we think are 5 games that really popped in terms of visual experiences. Like all top ten/five lists, we try not to pick the completely obvious so after reading feel free to chime in below about what YOU think should be on the list. I mean it's only 5 games, of course we will leave out some."
Good list. Agree
When they say "This Generation" they mean console. Yea we all know that pc has the best graphics because your able to mod and all that. It's funny how even though there are more beautiful games on pc, console games always get praise and why because its more mainstream now.
how do you spot a pc gamer in a crowd?
start talking about graphics...
they'll let you know..
Great scott.
Just kidding. you know what im gonna say.
personally it doesnt count but i really like gta IV + Icenhancer + new cars. it looks tits. but its just a mod and since its PC it doesn't count because of it being too far ahead or in other words "another league" but most games on pc came out on consoles too they just look better than most con-exclusives and it wouldnt make much sense because then it would upset the system and there would be rioting in the streets.
Plus us Pc owners are snobs and all we care about is graphics because we point out flaws in the opposition.
I believe i speak for all of our kind when i say
Please forgive us PC gamers as we don't "try" to have better graphics than on consoles. It just happens effortlessly.
which is why we point it out when you guys argue about who's system is the strongest between the mainstream audience.
We hereby accept being disqualified from this "best of this gen" comparison because we know that if we complain we are snobs. And we dont want to pick on the little guy.
Ps I Like the last of us. Looks great!
Weird RXL, I though PS3 gamers talked about how much better graphics are compared to 360. Must be my imagination.
Good list, but instead of Gears of War which has mediocre graphics, I would have listed God of War 3 or Heavenly Sword. Heck, I think CoD4 and CoD: WaW were better looking games than Gears of War.
BattleAxe your so full of it, very few games look better then Gears.
Battleaxe, I agree with God of War 3, but not Heavenly Sword (a beautiful game by all means). Gears of War is a great looking game, but it seems far out-leagued by the others (and other competitors).
i would have had rage on that list, and as good as gears is theres better looking unreal engine games, batman AC?
i was not impressed with killzone 3, some parts looked horrible, especially the jungle, gears 3 beats killzone hands down.
halo reach could have been a contender but they killed the look of the game with that damn motion blur.
overall good list, but would have been better if they replaced killzone with rage.
No particular order, just top 20
1. Battlefield 3
2. Killzone 2/3
3. Uncharted 2/3
4. Gears of War 3
5. God of War 3
7. Heavy Rain
8. Alan Wake
9. Gran Turismo 5
10. Forza 4
11. Flower
12. Crysis 2
13. Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
14. Viva Pinata
15. Rage
16. Fight Night Round 4
17. Resident Evil 5
18. Mario Galaxy
19. Batman Arkham City
20. Final Fantasy 13
PC has the best graphics because it has (potentially) better hardware. Another advantage over consoles is the ability to mod.
Haha, PC wasn't part of this gen since 2006. That's when it stepped up it's game beyond the console generation
Can you give a List of pc games that rival the best you can find on consoles???
PC is Good but where are the games??? The only pc exclusive that comes to mind is Diablo 3
"When they say "This Generation" they mean console."
Graphical prowess is about far more than sheer resolution.
Killzone 3 has one of the best lighting engines this generation bar none and that includes PC.
MGS4 is still tops in the model department. The the Kojima Team went to extraordinary lengths ignored by other developers. Even matters such as the finger tips of characters received remarkable attention. The production values on that game topped anything else I have seen.
Ratchet and Clank is THE Pixar game first sought after in the famous Bill Gates/Seamus Blackley discussion on stage at CES in 2000.
@ dboyc310
You know what's funny, these console gamers think they have the best graphics ever when I'm sure that 80 percent of them haven't even played on a high end PC. Whatever. Let them enjoy their mediocre graphics and subpar resolution.
Yes yes yes blah blah blah we all know pc has the best graphics chill out pc boy we all know no need for u to rage
Yes we all know the PC has the best graphics. But this article is not about PC games. I have a highend PC but the only game I played on it this year is Diablo 3. The graphics on console games are damn good considering the tech is 6+ years old. How much did you spend on the PC versus the cost of a console?
Despite having the best graphics I just can't play games like Uncharted, God of War, and many other fun games on the PC.
It is constantly changing. Slowly.
Consoles dictate generations with multiplatform games.
This is a console circle jerk site, what do you expect?
its like crysis doesnt even exist. wtf!!!!
All five games should be on pc and if its only about consoles then all five should be on ps3.
Pc - bf3, crysis 1, crysis 2, the witcher 2, project car
Consoles- killzone 2, killzone 3, uncharted 1, uncharted 2, uncharted 3, gow 3, heavy rain, gt 5, mgs 4, resistance 3, motorstorm 2, motorstorm 3, the last of us, gow asc. And a lot of other games. When it comes to graphics pc is king but on console, ps3 is king.
PC and PS3 are the kings, it is basically the best combination u can ever get. ^.^
Gears, Halo 4 have as good a graphics as any PS3 game. Forza 4 looks better than GT5. Your fanboy is showing.
Rage is better looking than KZ and it runs at 60fps.
PS3 graphics are nothing special compared to 360.
Rage is NOT better looking then Killzone, Halo 4 may be getting up to Killzone standards but as the years are passing it should be, it still isn't up to Last of Us standards. Gears is a great looking game but U3 is still better.
Can't do pc because The article is about this gen And pc enthusiasts around the globe will let you know As often as they can, pc's are generations ahead... /s
"Halo 4 may be getting up to Killzone standards"
Finally right?!?!?
Halo 4 barely looks better than Killzone 2. lol A game that came out three years ago!!!
Anyways, yea.
I would've kicked off Gears of War from the list and put God of War 3 in.
I agree with makemyteapunk about FORZA 4 looking better then GT5.. and RAGE was a pretty game, but so boring.
I think the list is subjective too, about gameplay and graphics and not just graphics.
also I would like to say that i didn't find BF3 that good looking on consoles, i thought the COD games were better LOOKING.. but then again BF3 single player campaign was crap, but multiplayer was SO MUCH FUN.
and XBOX and PS3 multiplats will look similar because there is always one the dev will have a a standard and one that gets a slightly worse port. Thats why exclusives look so much better then a lot of multiplats, they can use all of the system power.
Motorstorm doesn't have good visuals.
Neither do the Resistance games.
Not even in the same league as top racers and shooters.
I like Motorstorm Apocalypse, I own it, but it's not good looking.
Its emphasis is elsewhere, like 4-player split screen.
Gears 3 also looks way better than Uncharted 1, come on.
Basically, Microsoft focuses on very few first party exclusives, and Halo's emphasis is on large sandboxy environments, which puts a cap on visual quality.
So that leaves just Gears as the flagbearer for the 360. And it's about on par with Uncharted 3 (pre-rendered close-ups included).
Since benchmark games tend to be first party, Sony's more liberal publishing policy inherently helps the PS3.
Although from a non-technical standpoint, its exclusives are not always groundbreaking.
KZ2 is a good exemple. It's super routine.
honestly I think metro 2033 is superb looking on pc.
Wow, look at masa, makemy and others total denial fanboyz...they are alawys believing that X360 exclusives can compete with best ps3 exclusives....even if reviews, players, and awards don't agree..
buy a pair of glasses, please...and a ps3, be a gamer, not a blind fanboy.
Motorstorm has awesome visuals even the first one still looks amazing. Resistance/Resistance 2 don't look that great but Resistance 3 is really pretty. Also Gears 3 on par with Uncharted 3!? Pahahaha. Gears 3 is a good looking game but to say it is on par with U3 is just silly. Have you actually played Uncharted 3? After that comment, I think not.
lol at the xbox and ps3 fanboys still fighting over tiny differences in the their graphics. time to get a wii u or gaming PC and play games in 1080p already.
they left out God of War III really? and put Gears of War?
just to make the article seem less fanboyish I presume?
Yes I assume that would be the case but if they truly wanted to be fair and 100% neutral they would list great looking games that are more of an art style than pushing realism a la skyward sword and Mario Galaxy. Just my 2 cents.
God of War III has a preset camera, which helps the console tremendously.
And some levels like the gardens didn't look as good as the resr.
God of War 3 murders all Gears of War's in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.
God of war is so irrelevant in this discussion, with the same camera angle on everything it's not hard, hell it's like Double Dragon with 3D, not too impressed.
If you know anything about quality visuals GOW 3 is the best looking videogame made so far... Followed by MGS4 , Both KILLZONES THENboth Uncharteds followed by Gears
Killzone 2 had great gameplay, and while KZ3 doesn't have as good of a multiplayer, the graphics are amazing. The maps never cease to amaze me with how much is going on at a time.
God of War III is still the best looking game on consoles by miles, nothing out now comes close and not even upcoming games look better. God of War: Ascension is going to be face-meltingly gorgeous.
Correction - "5 Games With The Best Graphics This Generation according to a playstation user with no PC knowledge"
BF3 on PC looks better than any game on your list....FACT.I am a massive fan of MGS4 but it looks like a cartoon compared to BF3 on PC....I do understand that you listed very VERY!!! linear games YET Free roam Battlefield maps still win.
P.S BF3 is not a great game, i just thought i would mention that BF3 on PC will be what console gamers call next-gen and happily pay £500+ for there console of choice come 2013/14
THIS CONSOLE GENERATION. Jesus get a hint its not talking about pc which goes up a generation every 8 months, compare pc's from 6 years ago and how games on them pcs would look like now.
He mentioned Gears of War. What makes you think he's a PlayStation only user?
PCs don't have generations. They constantly change, slowly. Consoles dictate generations with multiplatform games.
I don't get how people think killzone 3 is a good looking game, yes I have played it about 20 hours. I think even Rage looks better, but oh a multi plat game can't possibility look better than an exclusive!
Crysis Warhead
Crysis 2
Battlefield 3
Metro 2033
Not only art, but it has AA and also, details textures... Blurry games has not good grahpic...
Try Aliens CM and Assasins creed 3 they are technically the best looking games you can get on say ps3 with wiiu versions looking tons better due to 8190x8190 texture resolution alone.
where is crysis?
it took years for the competition and hardware manufacturers to catch up!!
LOL @ the SUB-HD low resolution textured, no Anti Aliasing games that are on that list except for battlefield 3.
The irony considering it's tagged and you can't talk about graphics without mentioning crysis.
5 Games With The Best Graphics "This Generation"
the key word here is Genaration witch generally apply to Consoles.
and UB-HD low-res textured, no Anti Aliasing pop-up lol im pretty sure all that scream Crysis
the witcher 2 ultra ubersampling -pc
crysis 2 dx 11 -pc
shogun 2 dx 11 -pc
metro2033 dx11 -pc
bf3 dx11- pc
hard reset -pc
there is NOTHING on that list that even comes close to the games i've listed, those games look great for 8 year old hardware no doubt, they look literally last gen compared to the games i listed
the top 50 games with amazing graphics would all be on pc till we even start thinking of adding in uncharted 3 or gears 3
@ biggc
agreed, i wasnt even talking mods yet, heck, skyrim on pc without any mods kills every game on that list, let alone once u start modding it
Well there's one thing that beats all of those, and that is GTA IV with iCEnhancer installed, it's undeniably the best looking thing ever done in video games. But yea everything else you've listed is the best you can get when it comes to graphics, I could also add Skyrim with texture and graphic overhauls, it looks stunning.
Of course they would be pc because specs are always being tinkered with. Consoles don't have the luxury of specs being modified.
Lay off the crackpipe seriously.
Shogun2 isn't good enough for any list.
Metro is overrated, played it maxed out and did not impress me at all.
Best ones on your list is.
I doubt you've played Uncharted3 - Best use of animations,water physics.
Killzone3 - Looks great and ai is awesome.
I would not put gears or mgs4 on that list.
God of war 3 should be there.
some one needs to lay off sony's ballsack, clearly you haven't seen shogun2 in ultra settings with some mods on the side.
Um...shogun 2 looks literally like a real shogunate war...your obviously blind.
AND MGS4 is still one of te best looking games since 2008. It's in pc level quality.
how much do i need for pc to run those games , they look mind blowing especially GTA 4 ?
if you already own a quad core pc with 4-8 gb ram like most pc's from the last 4 years, you just need a mid-range to high end gpu, here's a few links at different price points, you may also need a larger power supply depending on the card you buy;
http://www.newegg.com/Produ... ($115) will run 50% of games maxed at 1080p, others will need to disable some high end settings like ssao and fsaa x4 ect.
http://www.newegg.com/Produ... ($170) runs most games maxed at 1080p, some will need to be turned down just a bit at 1080p
http://www.newegg.com/Produ... ($250) runs everything maxed 1080p
http://www.newegg.com/Produ... ($340) over kill for most games at 1080p, 1200p and will run 90% of all games maxed out at 2560x1600p
If its GTA 4 you plan on playing with the ICEnhacer mod, keep in mind its very CPU and GPU intensive. You'll definitely have to overclock your CPU to a respectable 4.5GHz to stay over 60fps. But if you don't mind playing at >30fps, which I'm sure you don't since you're mostly a console player you should be fine with a quad core at stock clocks and a high end gpu.
You're full of it with that Skyrim bit. If Skyrim looked as good as you claim, 90% of it's mods today would not exist..and yes I play Skyrim and all of those other games maxed on on my rig...
There's a little something called credit where credit is do. The article is clearly talking about consoles and we all know old tech can't compete with new tech...so ultimately, you're comment is pointless.
Free clue # 1
The word "generation" means it's a console article.
There are not really generations in pc gaming.
The guy was clearly talking consoles.
That's like whining that the Bugatti Veyron isn't in the 2012 best cars just because the writer didn't mention it was an average people list.
good solid list but where is
prince of persia 08
god of war 3
battlefield 3

Thanks for the answers. don, why is the IQ160 better for tech cam than P65+ ? Is your cambo able to do precise enough focusing ? isn't it too heavy to carry on your back ?Julianlanoo, what would male the difference for you between arca Rm3di and alpa 12stc ? Is the aca Rm3di something you can carry on your back for lôg walks ? Can you shoot´handheld ? Whatnback do yoûuse with it ?
In fact I answered to the question las friday : I had an offer for a nice package, used but mint backs P45+ and P65+ (6000 shots), six month warranty and a brand new Phase One 645DF+ with the 80mm LS, for 13000 euros. Thats quite some money but very good deal for the 2 backs + camera + lense. I added 1 Phase one 28mm (non LF) et one Schneider 150mm LS...Now time has come to start rodeo with those oceans of pixels. The conversion from silver film Hassy and 4x5 Sinar is gonna be fascinating. Why the two backs ? because the P45+ is discontinuated and is the only one accepting long poses. If I don't need it, I still can sell it again, I had it far less than what I can see on resellers propositions. But I don't think I will do that.
Hi,This may be a good read if you want to make best use of your investment: http://www.josephholmes.com/news-sharpmediumformat.htmlBest regardsErik
One other note, the link to the Joseph Holmes article, is very dated. He was working with P45 non Plus cameras and the P45+. It's a great read for sure and it is apparent he had alignment issues on several different backs. For sure you will find out pretty quick if your sensor is out of alignment with a tech camera since there is no room for error. However I never found this to be an issue with either my P45+ or IQ160. The job Phase does on the alignment is very good. I have not read many issues from other users like the problems that Joseph found with his Phase cameras so I feel it's safe to say their QC is very good. To be honest, the biggest issue I have seen is the center folding problems. This seems to show up more with certain tech camera lenses and specific backs. Centerfolding is when you pick up the segment line in the image. The P65+ and up have the sensor divided into 8 segments. I have been told that this is coating and not actual join lines, but I don't know the answer. The lines are there and can be picked up in the image. Camera firmware/raw converter software should remove this, but sometimes the back has to be tweaked. The effect of center folding, when visible in a image can ruin a file especially if it's in a sky where it can be very hard to blend out the line, even with content aware in CS. Paul Caldwell

Bayern Munich skipper Philipp Lahm feels that sporting director Matthias Sammer was right to criticise the team in order to keep them on their toes.
Sammer recently stated that the Allianz Arena side still have plenty of room for improvement, despite their impressive performances in the first half of the season, but Lahm is not too worried about the former Germany star's criticism.
"Matthias Sammer is right to talk about it - not only when the team loses, but also when we win," Lahm told the official Bundesliga site.
"It's his job to address things like that, especially when we're doing well. The players pay more attention to it than when we lose, because there's already plenty of external criticism then. The sporting director doesn't need to add his two cents when we lose.
"We'll see whether his words have the desired effect or not over the next few weeks. It didn't seem to work on Saturday because I don't think we played well. However, I believe we'll improve over time."
Bayern beat Greuther Furth 2-0 at the weekend to maintain their nine-point lead over Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga table.

McDonald's Trying DVD Rentals... Again?
from the hmmm... dept
A year and a half ago we noted that McDonald's had decided to run a trial program in the Washington DC area, where they offered DVD rentals out of a large vending machine at their stores. There wasn't much news about the program, and it seemed safe to assume it wasn't going anywhere. However, today, McDonald's is announcing what sounds like an identical DVD rental program in Denver - without mentioning at all that they've already tried this. It's a bit odd that they would roll out a second "test" program so much later, and not even admit they had done an earlier test of an identical system.

However, Blues fans cannot start booking tickets for Old Trafford yet, as their team must first successfully negotiate their belated Fifth Round clash against Middlesbrough, which takes place this evening.
A visit to the Riverside is seen as nothing more than a formality for the holders according to the bookmakers, with Bet365 offering odds of 11/25 (1.44) on them coming out on top in the north East.
This is perhaps not surprising considering the hosts have only won one of their last six games, and are massive underdogs at 7/1 (8.00) to cause this season's latest cup shock.
However, Rafael Benitez's men have drawn three of their last six games on the road, so Boro may be optimistic of replicating Brentford's feat of securing a stalemate in their own back yard, at odds of 39/10 (4.90).
The cups represent the Londoners' only hope of salvaging a disappointing season, and they have certainly found plenty of joy in front of goal in this competition.
The visitors have scored 11 goals in their three ties so far, while Tony Mowbray's side have hit six in just two fixtures.
A bet on over 2.5 goals to be scored would have paid out in eight of Chelsea's last 12 in all competitions. It would also have been successful in nine of the last 12 for Boro, so cannot be ignored here at odds of 4/7 (1.57), either as a single or as part of a multiple for those seeking bigger returns.
The only bright spot of the last few weeks for the Teesiders has been the emergence of Curtis Main as a genuine goalscoring threat.
The 20-year-old striker has been on the periphery of the starting 11 since joining from Darlington two years ago, but has benefited from an injury to Scott McDonald to force himself into the first team picture.
With three goals in his last four outings, his impact has been instant, and he could be a canny outside bet at 3/1 (4.00) to hit the back of the net this evening.
|Over 2.5 goals at 4/7 (1.57) with Bet365
|Curtis Main to score anytime at 3/1 (4.00) with Bet365

My cousin's guest post about the radicalism of Bill de Blasio, New York City's new mayor, made me wonder whether de Blasio is appreciably more radical than President Obama. I don't believe he is.
In 1990, de Blasio, having been inspired by the Sandinistas, stated that his goal was to bring Democratic Socialism to the United States. Stanley Kurtz has demonstrated that this almost certainly was Obama's goal at that time and beyond. He has also shown that some of Obama's closest political associates in the 1990s make de Blasio look almost moderate by comparison.
In 1996, when Obama went into electoral politics as a candidate for the Illinois state Senate, he did so as the hand-picked successor to Alice Palmer, an avowed socialist. (Palmer, however, decided to fight Obama for the seat after she lost a special election for Congress; Obama kept her off the ballot by successfully challenging her petition signatures). Palmer is the author of such articles as "Socialism Is the Only Way Forward." And she attended the Twenty-seventh Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1986.
Palmer would not have hand-picked Obama if she did not have good reason to believe that he shared her socialistic vision.
In 2000, when Obama ran for Congress against the prominent leftist incumbent Bobby Rush, the Democratic Socialists of America, though not endorsing either candidate, spoke of Obama in glowing terms while describing Rush as a disappointment to the left.
The Democratic Socialists of America would not have praised Obama if it did not have good reason to believe that he shared its socialistic vision.
Obama served in the U.S. Senate from 2005-2008. As Kurtz notes, one prominent index rated him the most liberal member of the Senate during that period — more liberal than even Bernie Sanders, an avowed socialist.
Would Bill de Blasio have compiled a more leftist Senate voting record than Barack Obama did? It's difficult to see how.
Obama is more cautious than de Blasio. For example, he and Michelle did not honeymoon in Cuba, as de Blasio and his wife did. But then de Blasio probably never dreamed of running for President.
Obama's presidency reflects his caution, but also his radicalism. Obamacare has been exposed as redistributionist at root, though Obama favored the more radical single payer system that he called for as a State Senator.
As Kurtz has shown, the Obama administration has quietly been promoting a form of "regionalism" the intent of which is to take resources from affluent suburbs and distribute them to the inner city and inner-ring suburbs.
Finally, Obama has tilted American foreign policy in favor of the likes of Syria, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and now Iran. They are among America's most virulent enemies and, in that sense, can be viewed as the modern-day counterparts of the Sandinistas with whom de Blasio so strongly sympathized.
If there is any space between the ideologies of Barack Obama and Bill de Blasio, that space is probably small. And to me, it is not entirely certain which of the two politicians, deep down, is further to the left.

Flagler Palm Coast placed eight wrestlers, including three runners-up, for a strong third-place team finish at the St. Cloud Bulldog Brawls.
PALM COAST — Flagler Palm Coast placed eight wrestlers, including three runners-up, for a strong third-place team finish at the St. Cloud Bulldog Brawls.
Seniors Zach Ford (138 pounds) and Logan Smith (182) took second-place medals in the bracketed tournament that featured 32 teams. Sophomore Adren Mitchell (106) was also on the podium for second place, with Justin Boyle, Collin Larocco, Jake Kosachiner, Alfred Shavers and Jake Trivett also placing in their respective weight classes.
The FPC Bulldogs turned in a solid weekend as a team, scoring 166.5 team points, and were as close as second place after the first day of the two-day tournament. Defending Class 2A state champion Spring Hill Springstead (228.5 team points) won the tournament and Crawfordville Wakulla (219 points) also finished ahead of the Bulldogs.
For FPC coach Tom Bartolotta, it was good to get Logan Smith back in the lineup. Hurt during the football season, Smith was FPC's only state qualifier this past February at the state tournament in Lakeland and he's the most experienced competitor among FPC's group of available upper weights. It was his first match back and he was in good shape for it, Bartolotta said.
Smith also came closest to winning an individual championship, losing a 3-2 decision in the finals at 182 to Drew Delong of Wakulla. He gained the finals with a victory in the semi-finals over Hans Boelsterli of West Orange and finished with a 3-1 record for his weekend of work.
Ford earned a spot in the finals by subduing Charlotte's Trey Hoff 5-3 in the 138-pound semi-final bout. Paired with Jordan Rivera of Springstead in the championship finals, Ford lost 7-1 to Rivera, a wrestler who was third in the state in 2012 in the 126-pound division.
Mitchell, whose father, Adren Mitchell, was a state champion for FPC in the early 1990s, lost by fall at 3:03 in the finals to Springstead's Matt Langraff. Landgraff placed sixth last February for the Class 2A state champions. Mitchell, 4-1 overall in the tournament, earned his spot in the finals with a semi-finals win over Delfino Garcia of Okeechobee.
Boyle (160) and Larocco (138) both placed fourth. Boyle reached the semi-finals paired against and losing to Springstead's Billy Swift, who eventually placed second. He fought back with a win in wrestle-backs before losing the third-place match final to Dylan Jones of Naples Palmetto Ridge.
Larocco reached the semi-final bout after winning a pair of matches in the first two rounds on day one. In the semis, Larocco was stopped by Kevon White of Wakulla, who went on to win the tournament championship. The FPC grappler fought back with a win in the wrestle-backs, but lost the third-fourth consolation match to Heritage's Issac Garcia.
Kosachiner (120), FPC's only undefeated wrestler coming into the St. Cloud tournament, went 4-2 and defeated Tyler Best of West Orange for fifth overall. The sophomore lost his first two matches of the season, including a semi-finals loss to Ty Lucas of Tampa Bay Christian, who ended up winning the 120 championship.
Shavers, FPC's 113-pound entry, took a long route to eventually place fifth. He split his two first-day matches, which put him in the wrestle-backs where he beat a pair of state qualifiers. In the second of those two matches, Shavers got fifth with a victory over Chris Mosher of Citrus.
At 145 pounds, the FPC team got a sixth-place finish from Jake Trivett, who lost to Ryan Hagen of Okeechobee.
The Bulldogs had a strong tournament overall. In addition to the eight place-winners, the Bulldogs almost got another placer in 126-pound Darrion Doffney, who lost in overtime in his bid to beat a returning state qualifier, Bartolotta said. Ladirus Smith (152), Jonathan Muniz (195) and Rykell Alexander (220) all won at least one match the first night to advanced to the second day wrestle-backs.
Before the semi-finals, FPC was second in the team points derby and had a 6.5-point edge over Springstead before the wrestling started on the second day. But Springstead had a lot of wrestlers place with eight and led everybody with five champions of the 14 weight divisions.
Matanzas places one
The Matanzas Pirates struggled last weekend in the Bill Scott Memorial Holiday Classic at Longwood Lyman. Heavyweight Steven Mosley took fifth place for the only top-eight finish for a Matanzas wrestler, scoring a 9-5 decision over DeQuan Harvin of Wekiva. Matanzas scored 30 team points and was 26th overall.

The Westboro Baptist Church did not picket singer Whitney Houston's funeral on Saturday, but they did upload a fake photo to Twitter in hopes of convincing others that they did.
The Westboro Baptist Church believes that God is punishing the United States because of America?s acceptance of homosexuality and has gained infamy for picketing the funerals of public figures and military members. The church announced last week that it would picket Houston's funeral in Newark on Saturday.
"Time for Westboro picket of Whitney Houston funeral.So many piling up to blather about her today. Not ONE of them warned her of hell," Margie J. Phelps, daughter of the church's pastor, tweeted on Saturday.
Phelps later tweeted an image of what she purported to be Westboro Baptist Church members protesting outside Houston's funeral. But the New Jersey Star-Ledger confirmed that no protesters had access to the area depicted in the image, which was apparently photoshopped.
Recently, the church has failed to show up to funeral services numerous times after announcing they planned to do so.
The Westboro Baptist Church, which only has a few dozen members, is typically drowned out by counter protesters.
Despite the Westboro Baptists failing to show up for their protest, three "Occupy Newark" counter-protesters showed up with a sign that read, "Occupy prays for another soul our community could not save."

Jim Hibbs was an All-American catcher for Stanford University, a member of the 1964 Olympic baseball team, a minor leaguer for eight years, and, briefly, a major leaguer with the (then) California Angels. He is also a Power Line reader.
Jim has written the story of his baseball playing career in a book called A Catcher's Story. I like the book a lot, and believe that those who followed baseball in the 1960s and early 70s, and those who just like a fun baseball read, will also enjoy it.
Jim was raised in Ventura, California, the middle of a hotbed of young baseball talent in the late 1950s and early 60s. Playing in youth baseball and high school, he faced future major league pitchers like Bill Singer, Jim Colburn, and Jim Lonborg, each of whom had 20-win seasons in the big leagues.
I had my first real conversation with a major league baseball player when Jim and I spoke earlier this month. By contrast, Jim encountered his first future big-leaguer, Steve Hovley, when he was in the second grade and the two battled for athletic supremacy on the school playground.
Hovley eventually became a teammate of Jim Bouton's in Seattle and features in Bouton's classic book Ball Four. But A Cather's Story is, in a way, the anti-Ball Four. Bouton takes a cynical view of his sport and makes plenty of fun of teammates. Hibbs' book is nearly cynicism-free and with very few exceptions (including a notable one discussed below) has nothing unkind to say about anyone.
For example, Hibbs played for Rocky Bridges, one of baseball's real characters. Jim could probably have filled pages talking about Bridges' quirks. Instead, he focuses on Rocky's "spotless baseball soul." (Coincidentally, one of Bouton's books takes its name from Bridges' statement "I managed good but boy did they play bad").
Both Ball Four and A Catcher's Story are honest books, I believe. Bouton chose to focus on human folly; Hibbs opts for human goodness. There's more than enough of both to write a good baseball book about either.
Jim is particularly grateful to his many managers and coaches. Among them are legendary college coach Rod Dedeaux (his manager at the Olympics), Tommy Lasorda, Sparky Anderson (his manager in training camp), Bill Rigney, Chuck Tanner, Norm Sherry, and Whitey Lockman.
Only Leo Durocher, who managed Jim in training camp, comes off badly. But Jim's criticism echoes that of players going back as far as Hall of Famer Arky Vaughn, who once refused to play for Leo the Lip until he apologized for publicly blaming a pitcher for throwing a particular pitch that Durocher had told him to.
Some of Jim's favorite teammates are Andy Messersmith, Juan Pizarro, Charlie Hough, Pete LaCock, and Dave Concepcion. He also got a huge kick out of the great Ernie Banks during Cubs training camp. Some players tired of Banks' "let's play two" mantra, but not Jim. "Hibbsy, you want to play two today, don't you?" Banks would ask. "Sure, Ern, as long as you're leading the charge," Jim would answer.
In the spring of 1970, a few months before Pete Rose bowled over Ray Fosse in the All-Star game, Rose attacked Jim's knee in a home plate collision during an exhibition game between Cincinnati and its top farm team, Indianapolis. Rose mentions the play in his book Charlie Hustle.
As Jim tells it, his left leg was in position to block the plate, while his right leg was extended to help him deal with the throw, which was to his right. According to Jim, Rose's proper play was a head first slide, with his left hand touching the outside of the plate, which Jim couldn't really block with his leg. Had Rose made that play, Jim's sweep tag would have missed him by a foot.
Instead, Rose launched his helmet and shoulders at Jim's exposed knee, the baseball equivalent of a crack-back block. Rose then jumped to his feet and shouted, "That'll teach you to block the f___ing plate."
In discussing Rose, Jim's language is over-the-top. But it's easy to understand his outrage. The play cost Jim another shot at the major leagues. For on the evening later that year when he was called up by the Cubs (having moved on from the Reds after spring training), his injured knee gave out on the final play of a game in Tucson. Instead of a return trip to The Show, Jim spent two weeks in the hospital recovering from surgery.
As with Durocher, Jim gets it right about Pete Rose. After all, why would Rose want to "teach" a player in his organization — a potential teammate — not to block the plate on a play where Rose could have scored with a slide. Whatever one thinks about Rose's play on Fosse, it was not a shot at the catcher's knee and it occurred in a high-profile game of at least some consequence.
Moreover, Rose's all-out, show-no-mercy style was appropriate only for him, in his view. When Gene Garber ended Rose's hitting streak at 44 games with a nasty 3-2 change-up, Rose moaned that Garber had pitched like it was Game 7 of the World Series, and should have challenged him with a fastball. Yet, this was an official major league game, not a meaningless exhibition contest. Why shouldn't Garber go all out?
Apparently, Rose figured that only he gets to play every game like the World Series depends on it.
A Catcher's Story is self-published and would have benefited from professional editing. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed Jim's story and recommend it to the baseball fans among our readers.

The Dos and Donts of Stories Section
The following are the rules of story section and each and every member must abide by them if they want to post in it.
(1)This is a stories section and quite naturally we expect stories. Text is welcome, be it a post, a .doc a .pdf or an image. Some members have posted audio stories as well. Those are acceptable too. Any other material posted here will be deleted or moved to appropriate section.
(2)Go easy on the font colors and sizes. They are there for occasional use and not for putting up huge posts especially stories in lurid colors! The text should be readable comfortably.
(3)DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS!!! This is the Internet version of shouting and is considered rude. The story would certainly get appreciation if the content is good.
(4)Do not quote the whole story in your post. The poster will understand you are talking to him even if you don't quote.
(5)Do not make a separate thread for every subsequent part to the same story. This creates a problem for the users to read.
(6)If your story is spread across multiple pages, try to maintain an index on the first page of your thread, linking to the various updates in your story. If you require help in creating an index, feel free to PM any moderator or open a thread in the Help Section
(7)Do not add links to other story sites. While we do understand that you might have copied the stories from some other site, you can give credit to the original author rather than advertising the site.
(8)Do not post copyrighted stories. If any story is found to be copyrighted, it will be deleted without delay, and may result in banning of the poster.

(11)Do not post any story or message that may create any kind of religious, political or communal controversy. These kinds of messages are strictly prohibited.
(12)Reputation points are something which should be given as a token of appreciation and not as a bribe for getting back reps. Also while expecting replies and reps is natural, repeatedly asking for the same is not in good taste. Kindly refrain from doing so.
(13)Posting irrelevant posts, chit chatting with one another and spamming is not allowed in story threads. For story section we have our own Live thread where you can chat, discuss story ideas or even tell others about your story threads.
(14)Writers must start their stories within 24 hours of starting their new thread otherwise it will be moved to the test section and it will only be moved back when they have posted the story in it. If still no story will be posted even after one week of that thread being moved to the test section then it will be junked permanently.
(15)While criticizing a story constructively is allowed, try to be as polite as you can in doing so. Keep in mind that anyone who posts a story here puts a lot of time and effort in it. So try your best to not discourage them.
(16)Copying Xossip's original stories and starting new threads with them with or without minor changes is not allowed. You must atleast take the permission from the original writer. Otherwise such threads will be closed or junked.
(17)Keep in mind that underage characters are not allowed in under any circumstances be it sexual or non sexual. Using them could lead to the closure of the thread or ban.
