a2 is one of two genes encoded by the a mating type cassette in S. cerevisiae. The mating type of S. cerevisiae is determined by the genetic composition of the MAT locus (3, 4, 2). Haploids of the a mating type express the genes a1 and a2 from the MAT locus while haploids of the alpha mating type express alpha1 and alpha2 from MAT (3, 4, 2). Some of the cells within a given colony are capable of switching mating type by changing the genetic composition of the MAT locus (5); more information on mating type switching can be found in the summary paragraph for MAT and references cited therein. Diploid cells are normally heterozygous (a/alpha) at the MAT locus (3, 4, 2).
The function of the a2 protein is unknown (2). One group has proposed that a2p in involved in the haploid-specific expression of STA1 in S. diastaticus (6), but another group showed that deletion of a2 has no detectable effect on STA1 expression (7). The a2 null also shows no growth, mating or sporulation defect (7).
Note: The maps and sequences within SGD reflect the fact that a MATalpha strain was used in the systematic sequencing project. Accordingly, there are two copies of the alpha1 and alpha2 genes; one pair (MATalpha1/YCR040W and MATalpha2/YCR039C) corresponds to the MAT locus, and the other (HMLalpha1/YCL066W and HMLalpha2/YCL067C) to the HML locus. There are ORFs assigned to the copies of a1 and a2 found at HMR (HMRa1/YCR097W) and (HMRa2/YCR096C); locus entries are included for MATa1 and MATa2 but they do not have ORFs associated with them. There are GenBank sequences available from all of the locus pages describing a1, a2, alpha1, and alpha2; the Genbank accession for the MATa cassette is V01313.

It was last December. Noah Barbknecht was filled with excitement. Fresh off a rabbit hunting trip with his father, Jason, the impressionable 15-year-old was looking forward to visiting his older brother, Chris, who was stationed in New York with the National Guard 109th Air Wing. It was going to be a Christmas family reunion for which they all longed. Little did they know that particular holiday season their lives would change forever.
It was Christmas Eve when the entire family, which included the boys, their father and mother Sandi, traveled to Vermont for a day of snow skiing. To them, it was a true holiday celebration of being together again as a family reunited.
"We are all accomplished skiers so when we hit the slopes, Noah took off," said Jason.
Roughly an hour had passed when he became curious as to where his youngest son had ventured off.
"I got on a chair lift and started looking around for him," he explained. That's when he spotted his son lying motionless on an adjoining slope. Noah had tried to jump a small ditch when he accidentally slammed into the opposite bank.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Jason immediately made his way down the snow covered slope to his son.
"The ski patrol was already there and had him strapped on a backboard and prepped him for the emergency ride to the hospital," he recalled.
After numerous X-rays and tests, the news was something no parent ever wants to hear. It was early Christmas morning when they learned Noah had a collapsed lung, broken ribs and worse, his spine was completely severed. The young, outgoing boy would never walk again.
Noah received a tracheotomy and was hooked up to a ventilator. Upon regaining consciousness, they could tell he was trying to communicate something to them.

Third of an eight-part series
In PFW's midseason team reports, we focus on each team's biggest surprise and biggest disappointment, a fantasy football MVP, an assistant coach on the rise, and a fearless prediction for the second half of the season.
Biggest surprise: Injuries forced CB Chris Carr into the starting lineup, and he generally has fared well for a pass defense that exceeded expectations early in the season. Carr has made more starts this season than in any other in his six-year NFL career.
Biggest disappointment: WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh had the game-winning touchdown catch against Pittsburgh in Week Four but was largely a nonfactor in the first half of the season with Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason the starting wideouts and TE Todd Heap still an important part of the offense.
Fantasy MVP: Those who drafted Boldin expecting him to make an instant impact in the Ravens' offense have been pleased with the results. Boldin is on pace for double-digit touchdowns and more than 1,000 yards receiving. His dominant Week Three performance vs. Cleveland (8-142-3) was one of the better games we've seen by a wideout this season. The Ravens were looking for a No. 1 receiver when they acquired Boldin from Arizona, and he has fit the bill.
Assistant coach on the rise: Jim Zorn, the former Redskins' head coach and currently the Ravens' QB coach, could eventually get a look as an offensive coordinator if Joe Flacco continues to improve. After a slow start, Flacco has played much better, and the offense has impressed recently. Zorn is one of two former NFL head coaches on the staff, with ex-Dolphins head coach Cam Cameron serving as the offensive coordinator.
Fearless prediction: The Ravens' ability to be a strong contender in the AFC will come down to their pass offense, pass rush and pass defense. A three-game stretch at the beginning of December (vs. Pittsburgh, at Houston, vs. New Orleans) will be telling.
Biggest surprise: PK Mike Nugent has been consistent on field goals and has shown good leg strength on kickoffs. Better technique has played a role in Nugent's improvement. He has solidified a position that could have been a concern after the departure of the accurate Shayne Graham.
Biggest disappointment: The defense has taken a major step backward from a season ago. The most glaring problems are rushing the passer and stopping the run. Injuries in the secondary have hurt the pass defense recently, too.
Fantasy MVP: WR Terrell Owens may have been an afterthought in some drafts. The Bengals didn't have a strong passing offense last season, and it was unclear how many passes Owens would have coming his way with Chad Ochocinco opposite him at receiver. As it turned out, Owens has produced like a No. 1 receiver. He's on pace for 110 catches, which would be a career high — a remarkable feat for a 36-year-old wide receiver.
Assistant coach on the rise: While the Bengals' defense has not played as well as it did a season ago, Mike Zimmer is still very well-regarded, with an impressive track record of success as a defensive coordinator. Well-liked by players, Zimmer has made the Cincinnati defense better in his three-year tenure.
Fearless prediction: Head coach Marvin Lewis' contract expires at the end of the season, and his future in Cincinnati figures to be a source of considerable speculation down the stretch if the Bengals continue to fade from contention. Lewis is in his eighth season in Cincinnati. He's led the Bengals to two division titles but no playoff wins.
Biggest surprise: The Browns hoped rookie QB Colt McCoy would spend a season on the bench behind starter Jake Delhomme and backup Seneca Wallace, but ankle injuries to Delhomme and Wallace forced Cleveland to put him in the lineup. The experience has been a positive one for McCoy and the Browns; the rookie has received valuable game action — and he has flashed some intriguing skills.
Biggest disappointment: Second-year WRs Mohamed Massaquoi and Brian Robiskie have not made much of an impact. Leading up to Week Nine, team president Mike Holmgren lamented the lack of opportunities for the wide receivers as a whole in the offense and defended the WR corps. This could make for a tricky evaluation of Massaquoi and Robiskie as the Browns analyze their offense in the offseason.
Fantasy MVP: RB Peyton Hillis likely went undrafted in many leagues, but he's not available on many waiver wires now. Hillis leads the Browns in rushing yards and touchdowns and is one of their top targets in the passing game, too. You made an astute claim if you picked him up early in the season.
Assistant coach on the rise: Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan's masterful game plan in the Browns' surprising win vs. the Saints in Week Seven garnered widespread attention. Ryan is aggressive and creative, and he's well-liked by his players. The success his brother, Rex, has had as Jets head coach doesn't hurt his reputation, either.
Fearless prediction: The Browns will pull off another surprising win or two — teams certainly aren't relishing seeing them on the schedule after seeing what Cleveland did to New Orleans and New England — but they will lose at least one winnable game. This is a team without much of a margin for error.
Biggest surprise: C Maurkice Pouncey has been exceptional, handling the vast responsibilities of the position with aplomb and immediately becoming one of the better players at his position in the NFL. Pouncey is the complete package — smart, strong and athletic.
Biggest disappointment: The Steelers' pass defense has been surprisingly permissive; opponents threw for at least 228 net passing yards in six of the team's first seven games. The Ravens and Saints were able to attack the Steelers' secondary with success for some key plays in victories over Pittsburgh. The pass defense isn't a major liability — it's not as if the Steelers are giving up many points — and teams are throwing quite a bit because of Pittsburgh's tough run defense, but how the Steelers fare against good passing games going forward is an issue to watch.
Fantasy MVP: RB Rashard Mendenhall has emerged as an elite fantasy back. He's received more work than a season ago, and he's on pace to score double-digit touchdowns. Mendenhall has very good speed and enough power to run between the tackles. He's been an all-around threat this season.
Assistant coach on the rise: OL coach Sean Kugler has done a fine job in his first season in Pittsburgh. The Steelers' line has endured several injuries, most notably the loss of ORT Willie Colon before the season and now a potentially serious neck injury to OLT Max Starks suffered in Week Nine, but it has held up well, all things considered.
Fearless prediction: QB Ben Roethlisberger begins to hit his best stride later in the season, and the Steelers, whose defense is again one of the NFL's elite, enters January as one of the AFC favorites.

Torquil Duthie was brought up in the United Kingdom and in Spain. He has a B.A. from SOAS (University of London), an M.A. from Hokkaidō University, and a Ph.D from Columbia. Before coming to UCLA he was Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. He is a specialist in premodern Japanese literature and culture, with particular emphasis on the Nara and Heian periods (seventh to twelfth centuries). Research topics include the representation of authority in ancient Japan in mythical, poetic, and historical texts; the relationship between ritual and text in writings of the Nara period; narrative theory and representations of "voice" and subjectivity in premodern Japanese literature; the relationship between poetry and prose narrative in the Nara and Heian periods; and seventeenth and eighteenth century kokugaku ("national learning") and its relationship to modern and contemporary philology and theory. His publications include Poesía Clásica Japonesa: Kokinwakashū. Madrid: Editorial Trotta, 2005 (a translation into Spanish of 100 poems from the Kokinshū with the kana preface and an introduction); translations and commentary for the Manyōshū sections of Traditional Japanese Literature, An Anthology, Beginnings to 1600, Columbia University Press, 2006; and "Ōmikōtoka ni okeru sakuchū shutai no nimensei," Jōdai bungaku no. 90 (Nov. 2003). At present he is working on a book manuscript on the role of poetic culture in the formation of the early Japanese state. He will be teaching Japanese Civilization, Introduction to Kanbun, and a variety of courses on premodern Japanese literature and culture.

The McCain Relocation
by Rabbit, Sat Oct 04, 2008 at 05:43:21 AM EDT
John McCain was out of the torturous grip of the North Vietnamese for approximately one year when Congress passed Public Law 93-531 in 1974. Public Law 93-531 was called the Relocation Act, and was falsely justified by what "Peabody Coal Company's public relations and lobbying firms" falsely constructed as the "Hopi-Navajo land dispute." This "range war" was not true. What was true, was lawyer John Boyden with the assimilated Hopi Tribal Council.
Boyden formed a Hopi Tribal Council that consisted of several First Mesa Hopi who had been converted to Mormonism, based on an election in which about 10 percent of the Hopis on the reservation voted. The newly elected Tribal Council then hired Boyden as their lawyer.
John Boyden with his assimilated Hopi Tribal Council wanted Peabody Coal to strip mine Black Mesa after the natural resources had been discovered. More than 10,000 Navajo and 100 Hopi did not want Black Mesa stripped.

Theme Park
By Werner Engelen
'Theme Park' is a study about what happens when 'amusement' is stripped from 'park', visualizing the thin line in terms of persons and objects between their perceived role and their actual being, between the artificial and constructed reality.

The Seattle Sounders have apparently signed Swedish full back Adam Johansson, a 28-year-old who has made nine national team appearances since debuting against the United States in 2009. The signing would fill the Sounders' biggest hole on their roster after they lost James Riley in the MLS Expansion Draft.
The news was first broken by former Sounders midfielder Erik Friberg, who revealed the signing's identity in a series of Tweets. That news was confirmed in an article in the Gothenburg Post.
"It's really fantastic," Johansson was quoted as saying in the Post (via Google translate). "I knew very little about the American league, but I talked to several people familiar with before I decided and finally felt like this as the right choice."
Johansson most recently played for Swedish power IFK Goteburg where he was starter when healthy during his seven seasons there. Although he scored just one goal in that time, he's thought to have good technical ability and should help meet one of the Sounders' biggest offseason goals: better possession from their fullbacks.
For more insight and analysis of Johansson's possible signing, be sure to check out Sounders blog Sounder at Heart.

Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust withdraws from Cornwall Council partnership
Updated 10:22am Monday 4th February 2013 in News
The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust has withdrawn from a partnership with Cornwall Council.
Known as "joint venture", the trust was to have shared serves in Cornwall with the council and other healthcare partners.
However, in a letter to staff chief executive Lezli Boswell confirmed: "I want to let you know that yesterday the RCHT Board agreed to formally withdraw from the Cornwall Strategic Partnership – the project with Cornwall Council and other healthcare partners to develop shared services in Cornwall.
"The Board decision was made following changes to the scope of the project and consideration of legal advice.
"The Trust will now pursue alternative options for developing our IT and health records services to meet future staff and patient needs."
A spokesperson for Cornwall Council said: "We are disappointed by the decision by the RCHT Board to withdraw from the Strategic Partnership.
"We will now need to consider the implications of this decision with our other health partners before deciding what course of action is to be taken. "

Equidistant objects with css - another way
I recently read an article about the equidistant spacing of elements with css over at css-tricks.com. The simplicity of the technique really struck me as a case of good old lateral thinking. Despite this I was a little uncomfortable with the extra html that was required to make the technique work.
Inspired by the css-tricks.com solution I decided to try and solve the same problem with out the need for the extra div's.
Admittedly, the solution I came up with isn't quite as clean as the one proposed by Chris Coyier but never the less I feel compelled to share it.
It's all about lists
firstly, here's the basic html…

the first item

Another item

A piece of link text

this also goes somewhere

That's right, just good old lists with classes to allow us the differentiate between them.
The css
Firstly, all the list items need to be floated, The floats need to be contained within their parent ul and for simplicity I've added a rough and ready css-reset to remove any margins and padding and to remove the default bullets
ul.equal {
zoom:1;/* just for ie - put it in ie only style sheet*/
* { margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
list-style: none outside;
.equal li {
The trick, as with Chris Coyier's solution, the trick is to get three of the four items to each take up a third of the overall width. the trick with this technique is to offset the 1st item using a negative margin and use a padding on the containing ul to prevent anything from droping behind it. You're now left with a ul which has a width which can be divided into thirds.
.n1{margin-left:-9em;display:inline;/*fix ie6 double margin float bug*/}
.n2,.n3,.n4{width:33.3%!important;text-align:right;width:33.2%;}/*ie6 causes problems due to rounding-up so use a slightly smaller percentage for it.
after the we've got the floated
's nicely expanding we need to make sure the last three are right-aligned in their respected

.equal a {
background: #fff;
height: 9em;
margin:0 0 0 auto;/*right aligns a block element in the good browsers*/
width: 9em;
text-align:center;/*to override the text-align required for ie6 for the parent li*/
.equal .n1 a {margin:0;}
In the good browsers you can use a min-width to prevent the boxes dropping down onto multiple lines.
As with most layout techniques… IE 6 has to be coaxed into behaving how would like. The code required to do this would normally be put in a stylesheet of it's own using conditional comments but for the purposes of simplicity i've used a couple of hacks to keep everything in one file.

My journey
Found out about BRCA1+ / BRCA2+ status more than 2 years ago. Tested because of my mom, grandmother, aunts on both sides of the family. Pancreatic, prostate, and lung cancers also run in my family. I have not had cancer. I began to develop tumors and when I had my bilateral double mastectomy, one grew to be very, very large but was benign. Had an OOPH/ hysterectomy and prophylactic mastectomy. I am still forgoing prophylactic mastectomy due to infections right after the expanders were put in. I had a total of two surgeries putting the expanders in and a total of two taking them out, the last taking both away.
The hardest part of my journey
Having infections and realizing that the breast I once had are now gone. Also backing out of my original double bilateral mastectomy followed by immediate prophylactic and nipple reconstruction as well. The original date was Jan 7, 07 and waited a while and tried herbal remedies and did not eat red meat or pork for over a year. Stopped taking the herbals and started craving for hamburgers and hotdogs then the tumors began to surface.
If I could do it over again
Prayed that all this information was available for my mom over 13 years ago. Other than that, nothing different at all.
My participation with FORCE
Originally I went to the American Cancer Society for help and was advised because I did not have cancer they could not help me. So now I know the difference between pre-vivor and survivor!
Other thoughts
That I asked what could I do, what test could I take to make sure that I did not get breast cancer.

The SB Nation rankings panel is back this week with a look at the heavyweight division. It's been a while since we've done one of these for the big guys (almost five months), but not a lot has really changed. I guess that's what you get in one of the thinnest divisions in MMA.
As usual, our panel consists of two members from each of the three SB Nation MMA sites - Ariel Helwani and Dave Doyle from MMA Fighting; Thomas Myers and Brian Hemminger from MMA Mania; and finally, Dallas Winston and yours truly from Bloody Elbow. Check out the fancy chart below to see where we had everyone at:
(Scoring: Fighters are given 10 points for a first-place vote, nine points for a second, etc., down to one point for 10th place. The results are then tallied up and presented here. Official SB Nation rankings policy: Fighters under commission suspension are ineligible to be ranked during the duration of their suspension or if they have licensing issues)
Our top four hasn't changed at all this year, and all of us unanimously picked each guy in each spot. Top-ranked Cain Velasquez and number two Junior dos Santos will likely meet later this year in a third bout between the two, while Daniel Cormier and Fabricio Werdum hold down the three and four spots. Antonio Silva sits in the five spot despite his loss to Velasquez at UFC 160.
The bottom five is a little more varied. Alistair Overeem was unranked last time because he was still suspended, but he now sits in the six spot. Frank Mir's at seven, and he was the last unanimous pick for us. Roy Nelson sits at eight. He received votes as high as five, but wasn't ranked at all by one panelist. Josh Barnett is similar, getting a vote in the five spot while being left off by two panelists. Rounding out the top 10 is Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Travis Browne and Mark Hunt also received votes, but it wasn't enough to get them onto the list.
Upcoming matchups for ranked fighters
Cain Velasquez (1) vs. Junior dos Santos (2) - not officially signed
Fabricio Werdum (4) vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (10), UFC on Fuel 10, June 8th
Alistair Overeem (6) vs. Travis Browne (NR), UFC on Fox Sports 1 1, August 17th
Frank Mir (7) vs. Josh Barnett (9), UFC 164, August 31st
Roy Nelson (8) vs. Stipe Miocic (NR), UFC 161, June 15th

|Minor Character: Miami
|Erica Sykes
|News Reporter
|Portrayed By
|Amy Laughlin
|First Appearance
|(Season 3) 10-7
Erica Sykes is an aggressive, ambitious young news reporter for Miami's CBS station WFOR-TV. Her antics are often described as crazy by the CSI team and they generally find her annoying, especially Ryan Wolfe (apparently, she once dated him just to get information out of him). She targeted Ryan and broad casted him at close range, much to his annoyance but in the end, the team uses her tapes to find their suspect (episode 401, "From the Grave ").
In the season 4 episode "Free Fall", Ryan warned her to stay away from two former prisoners after he suspected that they are targets for murder. She refused to listen got shot in the process. It is Erica who revealed to Ryan that there was a mole in the lab in a special extended scene that was available on www.cbs.com after the episode Urban Hellraisers aired.
She also helps Ryan in a case regarding abuse of eminent domain, with the government evicting people from their homes before turning the land over to a private developer (episode 505, "Death Eminent").
In a later episode, however, she puts the life of Natalia's sister at risk by mentioning on the air that she is a victim in a kidnapping (episode 508, "Darkroom").
It is implied that CSI Boa Vista was jealous of Ryan and Erica's "closeness".
She is played by Amy Laughlin.

Earlier this year, the Boston Red Sox honored fallen Springfield police Officer Kevin Ambrose at Fenway Park.
Saturday night, the Boston Celtics did the same on their home court.
The Ambrose family was in attendance at TD Garden for the ceremony.
Ambrose was shot and killed in the line of duty when he responded to a domestic call in June.
For the Ambrose family, while they are still recovering from their loss, they appreciate what the Celtics did Saturday.
"It is a great honor that everywhere throughout the state that people want to recognize him for what he did in his 36-year career," said Kyle Ambrose, Kevin Ambrose's son. "Just the fact that people are remembering him six months later is fantastic to the family."
Late last month, the Hampden County District Attorney's Office released their final report on the death of Kevin Ambrose.
They say the police review board is making recommendations on safety, training and protocol, related to how officers respond to certain domestic calls.

To investigate the future state of permafrost in the near-surface soil layers in collaboration with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
Andrew Slater
Project Summary
Observations clearly indicate that the climate is changing. Observations already suggest that the terrestrial Arctic is experiencing the largest change of any world region in terms of temperature, and modeling studies and current trends suggest that this change will continue.
This study investigates the future state of permafrost in the near-surface soil layers. These upper layers are important due to their potential impact upon hydrology, ecology, and trace gas emissions. Results from the high-resolution (T85) version of the Community Climate System Model (version 3; CCSM3) agree quite well with current estimates of continuous permafrost extent, providing a mean value of 10.6 million square kilometers for the period from 1980 to 1999. A century later in time (2080 to 2099), the model projects more than an 80 percent reduction in continuous permafrost in the upper 3.5 meters of the ground under the current emissions scenario. Additional experiments show that there is still "heat in the pipeline," meaning that if greenhouse gas levels remain at current levels, we would still see a 10 to 15 percent reduction in the extent of continuous nearsurface permafrost. Perhaps the most concerning result was the rapid thaw of very large regions over a period of only 40 years.
Under the projected climate change scenario, freshwater discharge into the ocean will increase by 28 percent, 15 percent of which can be attributed to melting ground ice. The seasonal hydrograph for the period 2080 to 2099 shows higher baseflow and higher springtime runoff, though summer runoff remains similar to present day estimates. The current simulations do not account for the consequences of increased carbon and methane fluxes from Arctic soils; this is an area of ongoing research and is perhaps the area of largest uncertainty for future Arctic climate.
In additional, related studies, we compared the performance of five land surface models (CHASM, Noah, CLM, VIC, ECMWF), in the simulation of hydrological processes across the terrestrial Arctic drainage system for the period 1980-2001. The models represent a wide range of physics, particularly with respect to high-latitude processes and are forced with surface meteorology derived from the ERA-40 reanalysis. Our objective is to assess the ability of the models to capture various aspects of Pan-Arctic hydrology as well as identify those features that contain the largest uncertainty. Compared to station data, all models produce similar errors in snow water equivalent; yet they differ widely in their snow regimes in terms of snowfall quantity, estimated snow depths and most importantly, sublimation rates. Additionally, model albedo is consistently higher than observations in the presence of snow. No single model was the best or worst performing when compared to a range of observations.

Self-Portraits, 1887
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)
In Paris Van Gogh endeavoured to master the art of portrait painting and often chose his own mirror image as his subject. This sheet of self-portraits also dates from his Paris period. Van Gogh produced a total of 39 self portraits, the majority of which were painted. This work is one of his two self-portrait drawings to have been preserved.

Why you want assholes to make your video games
A few days ago we posted a conversation with Dan Teasdale, a long-time industry veteran who is starting his own studio with a firm idea of the type of games he wants to make, and another set of strong ideas about what he wants to avoid. He discussed all these things rather forcefully, and the comments in the article more or less tore him apart for his thoughts.
"He seems a bit contemptuous of games that don't adhere to his narrow focus. It makes me value his opinion less," one reader wrote. Dear lord in heaven, I couldn't disagree more.
Why it's okay for assholes to make your games
Now, I want to make it clear that I'm using the word "asshole" here in a very specific context. We don't get to see these people at home, or with their friends and families, or in any other context. Most of them are probably perfectly lovely people. I know for a fact that Teasdale is. But when we talk to many strong-willed members of the development community, they can come off… well, you know.
This is a good thing. The same personality traits that make Phil Fish spout nonsense at industry events or troll people on Twitter are the traits that allow him to crack down on Fez for years. This is the artist who created not just a fun puzzle game, but a title with an almost pathological sense of detail and mystery.
If you've ever sat down with a notebook filled with the insane-looking scribblings of a player who is trying to figure out Fez, you're aware of the sort of dedication I'm describing. People who have a singular vision, who give up much of their personal lives for their work? They're not often pleasant to be around. It takes that sort of dedication to their convictions to make truly amazing pieces of art, however.
Unreasonable people often create amazing things.
So when I hear Teasdale saying how tired he is of fantasy and science fiction games, I don't get upset that he doesn't like fantasy and science fiction games. I don't have to invite the guy over to play games with me, and frankly the idea that developers need to validate the games we personally love is a little childish.
Teasdale may rather do anything except make a game like The Last of Us, but who the hell cares? We have people to make games like The Last of Us already. The company is called Naughty Dog, and they'd probably rather vomit into a shoe and eat it than make a puzzle game. They're just smart enough not to say so in a public setting.
"This week I've played several recent games that are critically acclaimed, but are obviously terrible, even at the acclaim-garnering things," Jonathan Blow said on Twitter this February.
This is not the first time he's shared his opinions on other games, and he tends to be frank about those thoughts. Blow has a reputation for being somewhat aloof and arrogant, and it's not entirely undeserved. I've had a few conversations with the man, in person and over e-mail, and he's certainly prickly.
He's also an amazing designer, and after playing through an early build of the Witness last year, and then seeing it again at industry events for the PlayStation 4, I'm very excited about the work he's doing.
There's a difference between someone you want to go bowling with, and someone you want to make your games. I feel like we often get these two things confused.
I think we often underestimate the amount of time, effort, and mental resources it takes to create a game, especially games that don't fit into the current mold of action titles or free-to-play mobile games. You don't want someone making these things who is trying to reach the largest possible audience ever, or is interested in making everyone happy.
When someone expresses dismay at the few topics that make it into modern games, I get happy. I may like many of the games that person is bagging on, but I want them to believe deep in their heart that to make such a game would be a personal failing. That is the conviction that allows people to make a great piece of art, whether it's in video games or any other media.
When Christopher Nolan is openly disdainful of digital cameras, it's not worth getting worked up about loving so many films that were shot digitally. He's not attacking our enjoyment of entertainment, he's showing the single-minded devotion to a personal and particular standard that allowed him to make The Dark Knight and Inception.
I don't need Christopher Nolan to extend an olive branch to digital cameras in order to enjoy his movies, I just want him to make good movies. He's kind of an asshole about the method of shooting them, but so what?
I enjoy those who are uncompromising about their games, and what they want those games to be, and what they don't want those games to be. I want them to believe in what they're doing 100 percent, and to make a game for someone, instead of a game for everyone, which is another way fo making a game for no one.
You can't have that personality, or that drive, without it affecting how you speak, and we love to turn these quotes into sound bites in order to demonize people. I read Teasdale's words and fell in love with what he is trying to do. I've walked through too many studios where it's clear the cultural understanding of the world begins at the Lord of the Rings, and ends at James Cameron's Aliens. I get excited when developers share their convictions in strong ways, even if they sometimes attack games I personally adore.
Here's to the assholes.

This is a very fun line on upper Animal World. There is a low crux followed by sustained liebacking/underclinging up a left-leaning, left-facing corner. The route starts on the left end of a ledge in the middle of upper Animal World, just left of Animal Antagonism. Global Gorilla is the next route left, but it starts from the ground. This is one of the best sport pitches of 5.11 in the area. Let me just say that a lot of the ratings (including this one) in this area are a little soft. If this were in Eldo, it would be about 10d/11a or so. Either way, this route is well worth doing.
13 bolts/anchors. bring a 60m rope to lower off (just barely makes it).

It's a lazy, snowy Sunday, so let's do a bit of fantasy trading. Who would you trade away to get the best young power hitter in the game?
It's Red Sox - Yankees, but lacking the actual substance. Yay? I'll go with yay, sure. But more because it's the Red Sox on TV then anything else. And a pretty good chunk of the Red Sox, too....

Harley Shows Herself
We, The Undersigned beg, plead and cry for Harleykwin to post/share a new picture of herself. Some of us have seen what we're asking for in the past, but several of us have yet to drool, vomit or wank. We're not asking for any for of a bosom but if the offer arises we will not deny it. All we are asking for is some sort of photograph, whether its digital, film or some horrid camera phone shot of her passed out at a bar. Sincerely, The Undersigned

" Overall I am very happy with my Oppo 95. We are not reviewing this stuff here on this site for the video performance so I will skip that. My only complaint is that its audio output is bass shy. I bought this to replace a Denon DVD-3930CI which I finally had to give up on. After listening to the Oppo for awhile through Creek amp and HD600 cans I just couldn't accept it..." --King of Pangaea

" I got a really good deal with 2 glasses, and a 3D TV. It's not connected to my home theater system so I can't say anything about the audio quality. My first impression when I put in a Bluray movie, was that it loads really fast (much faster than my sony player). The 3D works well, although I haven't compared to other 3D players. The samsung apps seems to be useless for me. I haven't had any..." --yliu

It was not the case with Bifrost without Uber upgrade, which was once my savior of Mahler..." --Joong

I heard many positive things about cowon and i wanted to give it a shot so on a most fortunate day i found a nice Cowon X7 120GB for 136.00 (+ shipping) on ebay .

The Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as "ObamaCare," is coming in 2014.
The Supreme Court gave it the green light and the President was re-elected, so ObamaCare is not going away.
The question is, who is going to run it in Arizona? The state or the feds?
Governor Jan Brewer has until mid-December to decide -- she disclosed the postponement late Thursday.
ObamaCare is based on RomneyCare -- Massachusetts' health care plan signed into law in 2006 by then-Governor Mitt Romney.
Everyone is covered and the state runs it. You get online, enter your information and buy your health insurance. It's kind of like using Travelocity or Expedia to buy an airline ticket.
Will Gov. Brewer try to create something like this in Arizona?
The Arizona Chamber of Commerce and industry hopes so.
"The best path forward is for the state of Arizona to create its own health insurance exchange..that path gives us more flexibility to determine what choices are available to consumers as well as small businesses," said Suzanne Kinney.
Massachusetts, the ObamaCare pioneer, has an easy to navigate web site complete with a cartoon to explain how it works.
The Chamber of Commerce says it Arizona does what Massachusetts did, there will be more choices and less red tape than the feds.
"It is a risk," said Kinney. "Do we want to let the feds decide which insurance policies can be on the exchange or do we want to make that decision ourselves?"
So is the state of Arizona going to run this healthcare exchange or just let the feds do it? We went to the state capitol to find out.
No comment from the Governor. She's out of town in Las Vegas for the Republican Governors Association.
Many states are going to run their own plans. Utah, for example, has a plan. Other states, such as Texas, don't want any part of running a plan under the Affordable Care Act. They'll just let the feds run it for them.
