on 01.23.2013
Will Star Wars 1313 be a launch title for the next generation of consoles? What do we think about the controversy around Dead Island 2's pre-order item? Are we excited about Disney Infinity? What's your take on the Dead Island 2 bust fiasco? The 411 staff debates these topics and more in the latest 4PC!

Greetings, and welcome to another edition of Four Player Co-op, winner of the award for Most Entertaining Abuse of 411 Staffers In A Roundtable Format, if such an award actually existed. Ah well, I guess good work is its own reward.
Start the game!
QUESTION ONE: Okay, so from the "where's my Kingdom Hearts 3, guys?" files, Disney has announced their next big game, coming this summer: Disney Infinity. It's Skylanders…with Disney characters. The phrase "print their own money" is tossed around a lot, but with this idea on the way (and if you forgot, Disney also owns Marvel and Star Wars, just in case you were going to say "well, I don't care about playing as Disney characters"), maybe they should just go ahead and put the Mouse on all currency. I know, we're all allegedly adults here, but would you be into emptying your bank account for hundreds of miniature Disney figurines and related game worlds?
Adam Larck
If I knew more about the actual gameplay I may actually be interested in this. The reason I like Skylanders, besides being a game both my fiancé and myself can play, is that there is actual gameplay and something set to do. So far, it looks like LittleBigPlanet with Disney figures. LBP, while fun, never holds my attention more than one or two maps before I go to something where I have goals or missions to do. Also, the whole random discs thing you get in packs you can't see? Definitely a turn off for me. If you're going to spend $10, I want to know what I'm getting. For a few dollar packs of cards its fine, but for this lets keep everything visible.
Todd Vote
As a guy who is a fan of just being able to pick up my controller and play a game, and as a guy who has never really been in to collecting toys, or action figures, I just don't see myself jumping into this idea. While I am a fan of the mouse, and I do enjoy watching Disney movies, I've always preferred games with a more mature theme. Unfortunately, the Star Wars and Marvel aspects of this aren't even enough to get me to jump on board with the idea. I'm sure it will sell like hot cakes, and perhaps if I had a child this would be more up my alley, but as of right now it's not something I would be able to get into.
Dan Watson
I think this has a pretty good potential here. I have yet to try Skylanders but I know at least one of the people answering these questions does play that game (Adam). If those figures have picked up this much steam, could you imagine what a Disney licensed product is going to do? They could sell the classic figures (Mickey, Cinderella, etc.) for $30 each, the Star Wars and X-Men ones the same price, and then the lesser known or side-characters could be $10-$15. You do it in a limited release of the classics and drive the demand higher before a holiday and then release a large shipment. That is the Disney way, make tons of money and do it in a way that exploits the consumers.
Stewart Lange
Eh, I won't but I bet people will. A girl I work beside got her son Skylanders for Christmas and it turned out to be more expensive than buying him the iPad he actually wanted. Disney may not be as successful as they're second in, but hell, they're still Disney and it'll still do well. I can't really see how they would combine the Marvel and Star Wars universes seamlessly with the likes of Pluto or Bambi or whatever, but now I'm thinking about Iron Man shooting first I have to admit, I'm almost intrigued.
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of my 10-year-old self giggling at the idea of having Darth Vader fight Jack Skellington. My adult self, however, is really worried about how much this is going to cost me. Stewart gets 549 points for reminding me why this would be a very bad idea for me to get invested in it. I'll forget by the time the game comes out, but for now, I'm okay.
QUESTION TWO: Another bill has been proposed in America that would make it illegal to sell games without an ESRB rating, and also make it illegal (with accompanying fines) to sell M and AO games to underage gamers. Of course, the exact same bill was deemed unconstitutional last year, but hey, I guess they get points for trying. Now, one of you gets points for trying…to take a position on this bill.
Adam Larck
I don't see this passing again, but I do agree there needs to be a bit more regulation on games like there are for movies. Younger kids don't need to be playing games like Call of Duty or Halo, but a lot of this fault lies at the foot of the parents that buy these games for their kids. Sure, regulation may help some, but as long as parents plead ignorance and buy them whatever they want, these type of games will keep being played by kids.
Todd Vote
I actually agree with the fines for selling AO or M rated games to minors. We fine stores for selling cigarettes or alcohol to minors, why should this be any different? If this has the added bonus of eliminating the possibility for political nut-jobs to be able to blame violent games every time some dirt bag with mommy issues decides to open fire, then why not? I understand that ultimately the responsibility of explaining the difference between violence in games and movies with violence in the real world, but if this could help, why not?
Dan Watson
I am against government being too involved in anything but this makes sense honestly. If a movie were to release without a rating, it wouldn't have a big release at all. Game companies should hold SOME responsibility in the sale of games to underage gamers. At the same time, the gamer is going to get the game one way or another. I would like to see something come that makes it easier for games to get rated in a correct manner and more responsibility be put on parents for educating their kids. There have been plenty of games that I played and wondered how a game got rated M when there was very little violence and at the same time how some games are rated M and not AO.
Stewart Lange
Oh, hi guys. The UK called and said that's a pretty good idea. Don't go mental with it, like Australia, but let's face it, why is this even really up for discussion? That's all I have I'm afraid. I'm shocked there's nothing like this in place already.
The fact that it's already been shown to be unconstitutional means Adam's got the unfortunate right answer, which at least is worth 1548 points. However, nobody here seems like they'd be too upset with at least some limited enforcement of the ESRB ratings. Parental involvement is also necessary, but it looks like the general opinion is that retailers need to share some responsibility.
QUESTION THREE: It appeared that a Playstation Germany Facebook page had leaked the upcoming PS3 release of the hotly anticipated Star Wars 1313 game, but representatives from LucasArts have quickly come out to quash that rumour. The reason why this is interesting is that many had theorized, due to the massively high-fidelity graphics shown in early previews, that 1313 would be a next-gen (that is to say, PS4) title, and LucasArts only said that the information presented on the Germany page was incorrect. Obviously, they have a reason to be vague, but could this be the slip of the tongue that reveals that the PS4, at the very least, could be on store shelves before the end of 2013? What kind of odds do you have on that, and would a game like 1313 be the kind of launch title that gets you to buy one right away?
Adam Larck
I don't see Star Wars 1313 coming this year. From what I saw at E3, there's no way this comes out on PS3. This game was definitely Xbox 720/PS4 hardware being shown on a PC. While this would be a heck of a launch title to get gamers interested early in the systems to buy, I don't expect LucasArts to put this on the shelves until early 2014 at the earliest.
Todd Vote
A great looking Star Wars game is very intriguing. But also doesn't necessarily mean a great Star Wars experience. Star Wars games generally look great, but that doesn't mean they are always great games. Look at the Force Unleashed II, looked great, but was about one of the most unnecessary games of all time. It was released, and then forgotten almost as quickly. So no it wouldn't be enough to cause me to jump into the next gen. In addition to that, you would be nuts to think that there isn't a version of this game in development for the PS3 and the 360. There is far too large of an install base with those systems to miss out on the potential sales.
Dan Watson
These are those mistakes that show a launch before it is announced. I would fully expect that with such a huge title being leaked, we will see the PS4 by the holiday season of 2013. WiiU was leaked months/years earlier than it was officially discussed at E3. We didn't know much about it, hell we still don't and it has been out for a few months I am told. All I am saying is that maybe Sony and possibly Microsoft have found a way to keep information silent until they announce it but their third party titles have not. Look for both consoles by late 2013.
Stewart Lange
I've been arguing this with a friend of mine for a few days. I'm still not sure we'll get a PS4 or Xbox before Christmas. 1313 seems to be gearing up as the big "look at what THIS can do" game for the next gen, though, much like Oblivion for the 360 and why not? It's Star Wars and people will want it but is it enough for a £300/400 purchase? Probably not initially, but that, plus a decent sandbox title and I'll likely be looking to start saving.
Thanks, Todd, for reminding us that there are a lot of bad Star Wars games out there. Hopefully that might be one thing that changes with Disney in charge. Dan and I agree, though, and that's worth 2305 points, because if a game like 1313 is already getting previews and is pretty clearly using next-gen graphics, then the PS4 and 720 have to be closer than anyone will say. I also have to say, they'd be stupid not to have 1313 as a launch title if it's ready.
QUESTION FOUR: A bit of a stir from the pre-release info for Dead Island 2: Riptide, which apparently was offering as part of their "Zombie Bait Edition" a rather nice bust. By which I mean it was a tiny statue. Of a woman's chest. In a United Kingdom flag-themed bikini. Oh, and also it was covered in blood and gaping wounds. Yeah, they apologized pretty quickly for that one. Although they haven't yet removed the item, and you can still pre-order it. Really, there's only one question that can be asked here: who in the bloody hell would actually want a 12-inch statue of a mutilated torso, female or otherwise?
Adam Larck
I honestly can't think of anyone who would want this besides someone living in their parents basement that has too much money and not enough friends. They said this would be a conversation starter. However, any conversations that come to mind has the words creep and strange both in the same sentence. A good call to apologize for it, but I can just as easily see this disappearing entirely from the marketplace.
Todd Vote
The only way I would want one of the tiny statues was if I could have two of them bad boys to use as book ends. Maybe the top half for one side, and then a mutilated lower half for the other side of the book shelf... Yeah, that would be awesome... What? No, no way I would pay money for them, but if you want to give them to me, sure I would take them.
Dan Watson
Mr. Randle, I am not sure what life is like up in Canada but in the US we have all sorts of mutant freaks running around that will probably touch themselves while looking at that statue. Sure, us semi-normal people think it is pretty screwed up but really, there is probably a group of people that get off on zombies and mutilated bodies. I think it would be cool to maybe have for like Halloween or something but really it's not going to sit proudly on any display of mine like some of the other collector's edition items have. Also, look for this to be listed as a cause for some idiot who shoots up a place in the near future because these type of items scream someone who has issues.
Stewart Lange
Twelve inches is too big. Maybe six. I have a few special edition exclusives and some NECA figures and while I'm not going to trip over myself to get one, it doesn't offend me at all, to be honest. It is far too big though.
Todd, that revealed more about you than I really wanted to know. I'd like to say I'm surprised. Have 3291 points and go stand…way over there. Keep your hands where I can see them, too.
BONUS QUESTION: Well, hockey's back, so I'm having trouble paying attention again, but I also recently got inadvertently hooked on Mass Effect 3's co-operative multiplayer, which led me to wonder: like myself, does anyone else here actually prefer co-op to competitive online play?
Adam Larck
I'll always take co-op over competitive, hands down. I'd rather run through most campaigns with friends than by myself, or at least have a separate campaign to do. Do I still check out competitive multiplayer? From time to time, yeah. But, I'd rather take on bosses with friends and team up against AI than listen to random players yelling online any day.
Todd Vote
I absolutely prefer co-op online play to competitive. Mostly because I always get my ass kicked in competitive play, especially when it comes to shooter titles.
Dan Watson
I'm with you Quizmaster. When gaming with friends for the last year or two, I have noticed we no longer are playing against eachother. Mass Effect 3, Gears of War, Halo, etc. This is one reason I enjoy Call of Duty Zombies. It isn't because of zombies, I couldn't care less if I was shooting zombies, humans, dogs, etc. It is more about the fact that I am teamed up with three others and we are working to survive. Sure there are times I wish I could sacrifice a teammate in order to stay alive longer but ultimately we are a team and it works out better. Even games like Madden we normally play in a team setting.
Stewart Lange
God yes. Borderlands, Left 4 Dead, Mass Effect 3, and the Assassin's Creed Wolfpack mode shit all over COD or Battlefield. I don't find competitive online gaming fun because I'm not a "hardcore" gamer. I play about 5 hours a week, not a day. I suck at most games so would rather enjoy the experience with a great team of my friends than get fragged by some little runt on MOH.

GI Mayor seeks $3 million for veterans home bid
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) _ Grand Island Mayor Jay Vavricek (vav-RAH'-chehk) wants the city to contribute $3 million toward having the Central Nebraska Veterans Home be built in his south-central Nebraska town.
The Grand Island Independent says Vavricek will make
his proposal to the City Council at Tuesday night's meeting.
Grand Island has been home to the Grand Island Veterans Home since the Soldiers and Sailors Home opened in 1888 on 640 acres that the city donated to the state.
The state has earmarked money for the $120 million replacement facility and will be considering proposals from four cities that wish to host the veterans home. The four are Grand Island, Hastings, Kearney and North Platte.
The state says there are nearly $1.3 million of amenities it cannot provide with state and federal funds.

German election: Merkel battles Steinbrueck in TV duel
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's main rival in this month's election has accused her of causing misery by imposing austerity on southern Europe.
In their only head-to-head TV debate, centre-left candidate Peer Steinbrueck called her euro policies a failure.
But Mrs Merkel pointed to Germany's healthy economy, calling it "the motor of growth" in Europe.
The event was seen as Mr Steinbrueck's biggest chance to claw back Mrs Merkel's lead in the opinion polls.
The chancellor's conservative coalition is reckoned to be leading Mr Steinbrueck's Social Democrats (SPD) by around 15 points (40% to 25%).
Bread-and-butter economic issues dominated more than an hour of the 90-minute debate. Chancellor Merkel portrayed herself as someone the voters knew and could trust - a safe pair of hands in difficult times.
On the other hand, SPD candidate Peer Steinbrueck emphasised what he saw as the cost of success to ordinary people - a low pay sector "like hardly any other country in Europe".
Who won? Instant polls after the event were pretty evenly split, some giving Angela Merkel the edge.
What is certain is that neither person delivered a knock-out punch that radically changed the course of the campaign. Chancellor Merkel went into the debate with overwhelming approval, and that position is unlikely to have been completely reversed.
However, even with those figures, Mrs Merkel would still need a coalition partner, meaning the outcome of the election remains uncertain.
With three weeks to go before the 22 September vote, the two candidates were grilled by four journalists before an estimated TV audience of up to 20 million.
Mr Steinbrueck, who was Mrs Merkel's finance minister in the 2005-09 "grand coalition" between left and right, attacked her handling of the European debt crisis.
"I would have followed a different crisis strategy. Of course there must be budget consolidation in these countries, but not a deadly dose," he said.
"Germany once got help too and we must not forget that. Germany was massively helped after the Second World War with the Marshall Plan."
"You voted for everything," Mrs Merkel retorted, pointing out that the SPD had supported her policies in parliament.
Mr Steinbrueck said Germany had the biggest low-pay sector in Europe, and that he wanted to ensure greater "social justice," by introducing a national minimum wage and higher taxes for the biggest earners.
The chancellor said Germany had more people in work than ever.
"We must not do anything to put jobs at risk and the tax hike plans of the Social Democrats and the Greens bring with them the risk that we spoil the good situation that we have instead of improving it."
So far, there have been few campaign issues that have exposed major policy differences between the two figures and the parties have focused on their personalities.
Mr Steinbrueck is often witty but prone to gaffes, while Mrs Merkel often seems less than comfortable in the cut and thrust of live debate, the BBC's Berlin correspondent Stephen Evans reports.
A snap poll for Germany's RTL television declared Merkel a narrow winner of the debate, while an ARD TV poll suggested Mr Steinbrueck had been more convincing.
However, Mr Steinbrueck did not appear to land the sort of knock-out blow that would change the course of the campaign, our correspondent says.
The leaders of the smaller parties taking part in the election will have their own election debate on Monday.
Mr Steinbrueck, 66, has said he will not enter a grand coalition with Mrs Merkel's Christian Democrats.
He would prefer to go into coalition with the Green Party, while Mrs Merkel is hoping to continue her governing alliance with the liberal Free Democrats (FDP).
However, the FDP has lost much of its support since the last election, and if it does poorly Mrs Merkel and Mr Steinbrueck may be forced to work together.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Gov. Dannel Malloy is gathering with University of Connecticut students this week to rally support for his proposals to strengthen the sciences and boost enrollment at the state's flagship university.
Malloy's proposal calls for $1.5 billion to build new labs and refurbish others, upgrade information technology and renovate and build housing and parking. The effort is expected to attract millions of dollars in research grants and intended to boost high-wage jobs in science and technology.
Malloy is attending the event Monday in Hartford with UConn students, state legislators and other supporters.
Some in the General Assembly have expressed concerns over the cost of the initiative and whether the borrowing would reduce money available for other needs.

Executive Director Tim Lawrence has known SkillsUSA as a student member, instructor, industry partner and state director. Got a question? He can help.
Q: What advice do you give students who aspire to be leaders?
Tim: Leadership is a choice. Actually, it's lots of small decisions along the way: raising your hand in class, volunteering for a service project, running for office, or stepping up to express your ideas. All allow you to practice leadership skills.
Leadership can be the simple choice to accept responsibility. In this issue of SkillsUSA Champions, the national student president of our high school division says it best, "There are two primary choices in life: to accept situations as they exist, or to accept the responsibility to change them."
Sometimes, leadership is breaking away from peers whose choices may not be what's best for you. Other times, leadership is blending in and supporting your teammates to the best of your ability. And, leadership can actually be about following, as you step back to let others lead the way while you observe, coach and mentor.
Pay close attention to the stories in this magazine, which speak to many facets of leadership. You'll learn how numerous individuals overcame their personal circumstances to serve and improve the lives of others. That's what leaders do. You see, leadership comes not only from the head, but also from the heart.
In my personal experience, true leaders are people of passion. You've got to be passionate and enthusiastic about something before you can lead it. And, you must be able to articulate your passion and your beliefs if you're going to convince others to follow you. So, communication skills are a vital component of leadership.
That's why SkillsUSA is so critical if you aspire to be a leader. If you truly get involved, SkillsUSA offers you a variety of programs, activities and opportunities to practice your leadership skills.
As I encounter leaders in business and industry, I find that these individuals all possess one very strong quality: that of effective communication. They can communicate well in writing as well as verbally, and they know how to articulate or sell a concept. Combining your passion with solid communication skills is a powerful leadership strategy.
A great quote from one of my favorite recent movies comes from Batman Begins: "It's not who we are, but what we do, that defines us." I hope you understand that leadership is a choice, and everything that you do will define your ability to be a leader.
Got questions about SkillsUSA or other topics? E-mail email@example.com or send a letter to SkillsUSA / P.O. Box 3000 / Leesburg, VA 20177. Put "Ask Tim" in the subject line or mail address.

I have a list that has duplicate items. I'd like to get a count of how many duplicates there are of each item in the list, then remove any duplicates.
For example list = {"a","b","b","a","c","a"} would give me something like {{"a",3}, {"b",2}, {"c",1}}
I've already done this using a double loop, but it's terribly inefficient. Is there some simple way to do this using prebuilt functions from ETO?
My list will have upwards of 1000 items, which is why efficiency matters so much. A double loop would mean a million comparisons. (1000 items each compared 1000 times)
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try this...
Rule myList1 As List = {"a","b","b","a","c","a"}
Rule myList2 As List = Partition(myList1)
Rule myList3 As List
Dim myList As Any
For Each myList In myList2
myList3 = myList3 + {{first(myList), length(myList)}}
Next myList
End Rule
'To remove duplicates from original lst...
Rule myList5 As List = RemoveDuplicates(myList1)
Hope that helpd!
While partition is a very handy function, my experience has shown it is extremely slow with large datasets. I try to avoid it when I can.
You have presented an elegant solution, but I believe the following should be 4-5x faster. You wont notice much difference on smaller datasets, but when ran with 1,000 plus elements, you will gain a lot of time by not using partition.
Uncached Rule qwe As List
Dim tLst As List = {"a","b","b","a","c","a"}
Dim nLst As List = {}
Dim tLstLen As Integer = length(tLst)
Dim uniques As List = removeDuplicates(tLst)
Dim unique As Any
For Each unique In uniques
nLst = nLst + {{unique, tLstLen - length(removeAllOccurrencesOf(unique, tLst))}}
Return nLst
End Rule
I wanted to make sure I wasn't remembering incorrectly so I went ahead and ran a test with/without partition. Using the same 10,000 element list of single character strings and caching that list before running either test, I came up with 48623 milliseconds using partition and 8338 without partition.
Great, I'll write this one down!
Thanks for the advise!
Yeah for what it's worth, if you're doing a lot of large list processing, it can be faster to write a .net function and call it. Do your list processing in .net and then pass back the value/s.
Wow this is much faster than my double loop method. In C# I can write fairly efficient code, but with Intent I never know what features the language has.
Another possible way could be to sort the list first and then count the repeating items in the sorted list.
Parameter Rule InputList As List
Dim inList As List={"a", "d", "b", "c", "aa", "d", "e", "c", "a", "c", "b"}
Return inList
End Rule
Rule SortList As List
SortList=sort(InputList, :Ascending)
End Rule
Rule CountofItems As List
Dim sortedList As List=SortList
Dim countList As List={}
Dim lengthSortedList=length(sortedList)
Dim prevItem As Any=first(sortedList)
Dim currItem As Any
Dim count As Number = 1
Dim itemcount As Number = 0
While count <= lengthSortedList
currItem=nth(count, sortedList)
If prevItem=currItem
countList=countList+{prevItem, itemcount}
End If
End While
countList=countList+{prevItem, itemcount}
Return countList
End Rule
I'm fairly new to Intent so I can't compare this to other methods. Generally speaking though, sorting a list and iterating through it should be nlogn complexity (assuming the Sort function is nlogn) even otherwise I would think it would be possible to implement something like a QuickSort to sort the items.
Using a map (to use a C++ STL term) would be another way - iterating through the items in the list once and saving the count of each item in a map (can be accessed in constant time) but again since I'm not completely familiar with Intent, I don't know how to implement something that would be equivalen to a map (maybe child lists).
Here is another method that uses a map to store the occurrence of items in the input list. This can be comparable to using a sorted list and could be useful if the data set is large.
Parameter Rule InputList As List
Dim inList As List={"a","d","b","c","aa","d","e","c","a","c","b"
Return inList
End Rule
'Count items in a list - using a map
Rule CountofItems_Map As List
Dim countList As List={}
Dim createMap? As Boolean = defineMap(:countMap, reset?:=True)
Dim lengthInputList As Number=length(InputList)
Dim currItem As Any
Dim count As Number = 1
While count <= lengthInputList
currItem=nth(count, InputList)
Dim currItemName As Name=MakeName(currItem)
Dim currItemCount As Integer=getMapValue(:countMap, currItemName)
If currItemCount=NoValue Then
setMapValue(:countMap, currItemName,1)
setMapValue(:countMap, currItemName,currItemCount+1)
End If
End While
For Each currItem In getMapKeys(:countMap)
Return countList
End Rule

The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports:
Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley met with Allen Iverson Monday night in Atlanta where the sides came away with a better understanding of what the other expects yet no deal was finalized.
But the frank, comfortable and friendly meeting went so well that Iverson could agree to a deal as soon as Tuesday, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
Heisley, general manager Chris Wallace and head coach Lionel Hollins spent more than two hours with Iverson. Most of their conversations were about the Grizzlies' philosophy and how they intend to use Iverson.
There were no specific contract talks although Memphis wants Iverson on a one-year deal that pays $3.5 million.
Iverson may be hoping that he'll get an eleventh hour offer from one of his preferred destinations - the Bobcats, Heat, or Clippers - but at this point it seems like the Grizzlies are the only game in town. And despite their apparent concerns about Iverson accepting a role coming off the bench, the star-hungry Grizzlies must be salivating at the thought of Iverson suiting up for them (and selling tickets). This deal makes too much sense for both sides not to happen (now watch it not happen).

Following in the NFL's footsteps, high school football will have a new "targeting" penalty next season, in an attempt to reduce head injuries.
The National Federation of State High School Associations Football Rules Committee announced 10 rule changes Thursday overall.
"Targeting," which will be a 15-yard penalty, is defined as: "An act of taking aim and initiating contact to an opponent above the shoulders with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulders."
The new rules also tighten the definition of a "defenseless player" and give kickoff players less of a run-up to the line in attempts to reduce injuries.

Judge Koh pleas for 'global peace' between Apple and Samsung for the sake of consumers, incites laughter
After getting a few laughs, Judge Koh had to repeat:
"I'm not joking... it would be good for consumers and good for the industry."
Would this happen? The lawyers would definitely not be happy, but interestingly enough Samsung's head lawyer admitted the Korean company was "willing to talk." Apple? Not so neighbourly.
Apple thinks that the over a billion sum it was awarded in a judgment was merely a "slap on the wrist" for Samsung, and does not to stop there.
Apple once again slammed Samsung's designs, saying they are purposefully on the edge to get away from legal trouble. Samsung of course was quick to strike back by accusing Apple of "competing through the courts rather than the marketplace."
And it was all back to the usual kid fighting, with no visible effect from Judge Koh's appeal for peace. Not that we are surprised. What do you think, is there any possibility of Samsung and Apple settling?

hahah "GLOBAL PEACE between Apple and Samsung" was really laughable hahahahha!
as if the war between Apple and Samsung was already comparable to:
- US vs China
- Philippines vs China
- Israel vs Palestine

Considering how many places they have had/are having/will have worldwide, it is not inaccurate.

what i dont get is even after winning Apple has come up with a new case accusing Sammy of being close to the edge design of Apple! Only someone as blind as a bat can say the S3 is like the iphone and no one on earth can say that Note 2 is anything like Apple....considering Apple rate of screen size adoption I can safely say it will be another 5 years before Apple can come up with a 5 inch device!
Close to the edge....really? what does that even mean? people cant copy Appe but what should Sammy and othe companies do....mae hexagonal shaped phones???...even then Apple'll accuse them of being close
this is just evidence that Apple is f***ing greedy as their iphone 5 is an epic fail and they're desperately trying to make money by stealing Sammy's profits! A billion is not enough so they wannag go for a double!
Well yeah a billion is only a slap in the wrist but guess what for a conglomerate like Sammy even a doiuble will be just a tap on the wrist....Apple just keeps slapping itself in front of the public time and again.....what a dumbass Apple has become over the years....its a shame!

Technically it was a full scale war in the market place. The casualties will be the consumers the prize will be profits.

times like these you just wish some crazy person would take out a paintball gun and start blasting those lawyers for their greed! the apple lawyers at least! lol

actually, this is very possible however the judge probably need to find infringement on each side and as each sides requested, to forbid selling the products in usa. no apple nor samsung in usa would be ridiculous that they have to forget about infringement, even though it would be more ridivulous for apple as it is a us company.
the way of apple competes and their way of treating their employee are also very harsh. they sued almost every company, trying to get money and to block selling the devices and we saw how apple fired the apple map division's chief and scott forestall as if "you're no good for me anymore, good bye"

I wouldn't mind at all if both were banned for a short while. It'd give the smaller makers a chance to grab some sales they need, anyway.

That's a mighty good comeback! :D

no chance in hell that they bury the hatchet at this point. Even when THIS trial is over, Apple will just ignite a new lawsuit and continue to waste tax dollars. YOUR tax dollars on these BS suites. If Apple gets awarded a big chunk of money, Samsung will appeal. Its going to be back n forth for quite a while to come.

17. tedkord (Posts: 4467; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Seriously? That's all PA got out of this? Koh wants peace?
Reread the transcripts and witness accounts. This went very badly for Apple. Koh hinted at not only severely dropping the award, but at also invalidating some of Apple's patents.
Sounds like the scenario someone here predicted immediately after the first trial. Now, who was that...?
18. Tre-Nitty (Posts: 460; Member since: 16 Nov 2010)
Your wrong on so many levels. Please explain how this went bad for Apple.
25. tedkord (Posts: 4467; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Koh talked extensively about severely reducing damages and invalidating Apple patents. All the things that would have happened if not for a jury foreman with an agenda.
Now, please explain to me how this went well for Apple.
33. rickywinataa (Posts: 262; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
apple wants money from samsung but the judge wants them to license each other patents to avoid any harm done.
also, a rubber banding patent is now invalid because apple sued so many company, that patent got so much attention and eventually stated as invalid.
it's really bad for apple
19. RapidCat (Posts: 351; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
oh man that picture make me laught
I don't care who win.
Thats their problem, if samsung lose, samsung still making smartphone. if apple lose. apple still have billions of dollars in their vault

No sale.

Her mistake was giving Apple anything. She should have just realized that like all other industries, models look and function similar and that's ok. She needed to throw the case out before it started and not let it proceed.
28. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
Yep, then she could ask for global peace... but she already screwed up.
32. InspectorGadget80 (Posts: 6215; Member since: 26 Mar 2011)
Please what does she knows bout global peace?
34. rusticguy (Posts: 2826; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
She will rule in favor of Apple. This entire show is stage (or state) managed. This will go on and one till most of patents are invalidated whereupon Apple gets nothing.

The change addressed in "You've got mail. Do you care?" (Page A1, March 30) is indeed noticeable. But what is most interesting about it, I think, is that the switch from e-mail to social media leads to a drastic change in the quality of communication.
Leaving spam aside, an e-mail (just like the good old letter) used to be written often with one addressee in mind. What I might post on Facebook or Twitter, however, is from me to the world. The focus is not the other person, but what I want a fairly large group of people to know about myself.

3. Compare solutions
"There are multiple ERP vendors operating globally," explains C.V. Leela Krishnan, project director, SAP practice, Hexaware, an enterprise solution and IT services provider. "Each ERP may not satisfy 100 percent of your organization's requirements."
Therefore, it's important to "prioritize and create a matrix of functionalities required by the business and rank different ERPs with this matrix," he says. By doing so, it will be easier to "choose an ERP that provides the maximum number of required functionalities and also gives the expected ROI."
Adds Jon Duncan, senior director of Product Management, Antenna Software: "Enterprises should consider flexible platforms that ... integrate with other back-end systems to provide workers with critical information while offering a rich mobile experience" (assuming mobility is important to your organization).
Similarly, it's important that the ERP solution is configurable. "Configurability doesn't mean re-coding solutions to suit your needs," explains Tim Garcia, CEO, Apptricity, a customer-service oriented ERP and asset management company. "It means having the ability to change settings within the solution so that it fits your organization like a tailored suit. You should be able to define the user interface and how the information is displayed and what data pops up in certain scenarios."
4. Carefully vet vendors
"When selecting an ERP vendor, do your homework," advises Vajira De Silva, CEO of attune Consulting, a global business and technology solutions provider. "By engaging with industry analysts, user groups and other advisors, and by taking a look at other company installations of the ERP system, you will get a strong indication of the vendor's true strengths and weaknesses."
In addition, "Take the time to learn which ERP vendors are staying on the cusp of these trends and are investing in emerging technologies," he says. "It's not enough to solve your business pain points today. The ERP vendor should be able to demonstrate a longer-term growth strategy that can help you stay competitive into the future."
Finally, "ask vendors to provide one or more customer references that share your specialty and business size," says Derek Singleton, the ERP analyst at Software Advice. "When you talk to these references, dig in deep. Ask what challenges they faced with the system; ask how the vendor responded; and ask what they would change about the software if they could."
5. Focus on the essentials
"Avoid shiny object syndrome," warns Hoebler. "Instead of building rich dashboards or automating unwieldy or poorly documented processes, tackle the basics: financials, HR/payroll, supply chain processes and reporting," he says.
"Create a foundation from day one that keeps the business running and forces data standardization. Pie charts and scatter plots look great at board meetings, but not with incorrect data. Establish core processes and data as a foundation for additional functionality and enhancements," he says.
6. Don't go it alone
"Many organizations find that involving outside ERP experts is instrumental in making the ERP initiative successful," explains Steve Litwin, president, Litcom, an IT solutions provider. Just make sure if you do hire a third-party ERP consulting firm that it understands your business and your organizational objectives as well as the ERP system you are deploying.

When Jay Rodriguez became the grounds manager at Fairhaven Memorial Park in Santa Ana, his 14 man crew was in for a total change in their routine and their lives.
"I wanted them to feel like you know what i can improve myself, i can improve my finances, i can get a better job, I can go out into the world and really make a difference," said Jay Rodriguez.
Jay hopes his employees will get an education even if that means they'll one day look for better jobs, in fact that's his goal.
"I went back to school when i was 40 and I went to school for 6 years and it was tough. But it completely changed my life I became a landscape architect," said Rodriguez.
Jay says if he can do it these men can too. He's making that goal a reality.
Jay started small –implementing a workout program, then he pushed employees to get enrolled in school. Learn English, even get a degree.
"I thought at first, it's not going to happen. You know? But then it did happen and it was exciting," said Jim Cuevas, one of the employees. Thanks to the jumping jacks, push-ups and squats the crew does 3 times a week Jim lost 40 lbs.
And Jose Hernandez gained something else. "He best thing he's doing for me, I'm going to school to learning English. Now everything is getting much better and my life is more easy.

Babson Park, Mass. -- April 14, 2012 -- Visiting Springfield College scored 19 runs on 23 hits en route to a sweep of host Babson College in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) doubleheader on Saturday afternoon. With the two victories, the Pride improved to 19-10 overall and 10-2 in league play, while the Beavers fell to 16-15 overall and 6-6 in the conference.
The opener saw Springfield grab an early 3-0 advantage in the first, as junior Kelly Blake (Watertown, Conn.) hit a two-run double to right and later scored on a single up the middle by classmate Chelsea Bender (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.). The Pride threatened for more in the frame, but Beavers' sophomore starter Christina Miquel (Emerson, N.J.) pitched out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam.
Springfield got two more runs in the second, as senior Kasey Kelly (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) drove in sophomore Christina Leader (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) with a double to right center and came home two batters later when junior Breann Joyce (Trumbull, Conn.) hit an RBI-single to right. The Pride then tacked on one in the third on an RBI groundout by sophomore Ally Rivelli (North Kingstown, R.I.) and two in the fourth when Joyce doubled in a run and eventually scored on a bunt single by senior Tess Gagliano (Atlantic Highlands, N.J.) to build an 8-0 lead.
That was more than enough for Springfield sophomore starter Ashley Marino (Harrison, N.Y.), who limited Babson to just two hits in the five-inning shutout win. The right-hander allowed a leadoff double to sophomore Christa Shorette (Southington, Conn.) in the third and a one-out single by senior captain Nicole Latini (East Bridgewater, Mass.) in the fourth while also walking a pair and striking out five as she improved to 9-5 on the year.
Miquel (3-2) suffered the loss in game one for Babson, giving up four runs in an inning-plus. Junior Megan Brain (Pompton Plains, N.J.) added three innings of relief, allowing four runs, and first-year Meghan Hayes (Robbinsville, N.J.) tossed a scoreless fifth for the Beavers.
Springfield continued to slug away in game two, scoring seven runs in the first and three more in the second on its way to the 11-1, five-inning victory. The first inning was highlighted by a two-run triple by Blake and a three-run homer by Gagliano, while the second featured a two-run double by Joyce. Joyce then added a solo home run in the fourth to cap the visitors' scoring.
Babson plated its lone run of the day in the bottom of the fifth, as junior Kelly King (Kennebunk, Maine) singled to left, took second on a wild pitch, advanced to third on a base hit by junior Breezy DiPietro (Essex, Mass.), and scored on an error.
Joyce finished 3-for-3 with four RBIs to pace Springfield in game two, while Blake and Rivelli each went 2-for-3. Blake also joined Gagliano with three runs driven in. Pride starter Jennifer Joseph (Stamford, Conn.) allowed just three hits and struck out four in three scoreless innings to earn the win, as she improved to 9-3 on the year. First-year Caisie Cadorette (Dartmouth, Mass.) added a scoreless inning of relief, striking out a pair, and senior Stephanie Barrett (Plaistow, N.H.) got the final three outs and surrendered one unearned run.
King went 2-for-2 with a run scored for Babson, while sophomore starter Tess Rubega (Norwich, Conn.) took the loss in the circle, dropping her record to 7-4. Hayes once again came on in relief for the Beavers, allowing four runs and striking out four over the final 4 2/3 innings.

Latvia's Grinbergs & Krumins Net Kiev Title
Kiev, Ukraine, August 1, 2004 - The third-time was the "charm" for Latvia's Janis Grinbergs as he teamed with Andris Krumins here Saturday to capture the Ukraine Challenge by defeating Jan Schnider and Tino Schutz of Switzerland in the finals.
After finishing third in the 2001 and 2002 Ukraine Challengers with Krumins and Austris Stals, respectively, Grinbergs finally reached the top spot on the podium. Seeded fourth in the competition, Grinbergs and Krumins posted a 15-21, 25-23 and 15-10 win in 54 minutes over the seventh-seeded Schnider and Schutz to share the $4,550 first-place prize. The Swiss split $3,550 for second-place as both teams were posting their best-ever finishes in a FIVB-sanctioned event.
Grinbergs and Krumins advanced to the final with a 21-13 and 21-19 win over third-seeded Oleg Kisselev and Pavel Zabuslayev of Kazakhstan. Schnider and Schutz scored an 18-21, 21-17 and 15-13 win over ninth-seeded Olexander Dyachenko and Oleksiy Kulinich of the Ukraine to earn a spot in the final match. In the bronze medal match, Dyachenko and Kulinich defeated Kisselev and Zabuslayev 21-16, 22-24 and 15-12.
Dyachenko and Kulinich's third-place finish also gave Ukraine its third-straight podium finish in the Kiev event that was won in 2001 and 2002 by teams from Brazil. Dyachenko and Kulinich, who lost to Grinbergs and Krumins 21-19 and 21-16 earlier in the 2004 Kiev stop, had placed seventh and 17th, respectively, in the first two Ukraine events.

After 100 Years: The Lesson to be Learned from Triangle Shirtwaist
Anniversaries serve several purposes; to remember, to honor, to get a day off, maybe even an excuse to throw a party and fire up the grill, but most of all, it is supposed to give us the opportunity to remember the sacrifices of those who created the...
Usher in lesson number two resulting from a tragedy; 100 years ago on March 25 at the Triangle Shirtwaist factory in New York City, within 30 minutes from the discovery of fire to its extinguishment, an eighth floor fire quickly spread out of control and claimed the life of 146 Triangle workers, the majority of which were female, many jumping to their death, and some as young as 13 years old. They died for the same reasons many before them had died and still die today -- the results of lessons gone unlearned. Still today we do not honor their death.
If there was ever an example of fire protection lessons being ignored, loop holes in the code being exploited, warnings from fire officials going unheeded, the need and justification for sprinkler systems, politics prevailing over common sense -- this fire was it.
As before there were major advancements in the aftermath of this fire. Not only major labor law reforms and the advancement of Woman's Suffrage, but the seeds of the life safety code were planted; and for the first time in building history, we not only looked at the construction of the building as it related to fire safety, but now what we put inside those buildings. Codes written in blood went into the book.
One again fire deaths began to decline, and once again we developed a false sense of security and became complacent; we again stopped progressing, and simply existed in a stagnant state of denial as a false sense of security in the written code took hold.
Lesson Learned
So here is the new lesson to be learned on this 100th anniversary: codes are only part of the solution! Any comprehensive fire prevention program must also have an educational/training element. We could continue to develop the strictest of codes and we could enforce them all to the letter! We could build a building that is 100 percent fire resistant, install a sprinkler system, mount fire extinguishers every 75 feet, install exit signs with life time illumination above double exit doors that swing outward on every exterior wall, etc…yet if we have not taken the time to educate and train the building's occupants…what have we really accomplished?
Without education and training for the occupants: fire resistive walls will be breached, sprinkler systems will not be maintained, sprinkler heads obstructed and used to hang material, fire extinguishers will go unused or not used correctly or go un-serviced or be hidden due to their un-decorative appearance, exits will be locked and egress paths obstructed, business staff will not know how to react and panic will ensue…you get the picture?
While we could catch these violations during routine inspections, for those few departments that have the resources to do routines inspections and visit each building in their jurisdiction every year, we all know what happens once the inspector leaves the building…everything goes back to business as usual. While we may have enforced the code, we have not educated and that lack of education equates to ignorance which breeds indifference, and both are the cause of 99.9 percent of all unintentional fires.
If you are a student of fire in the fire service, and anyone calling themselves a professional in any endeavor should always continue to be a student and continue to study and learn, and you study fires and fire deaths, the lesson to be taught is that we cannot rely on codes alone to solve our fire problem. A true prevention program has a codes element and an education/training element.
Anniversaries in the fire service offer us an opportunity to do such study, and on this tragic anniversary there is much we need to learn to prevent it from occurring again; as professionals in the fire service profession, we owe that to the victims, to their families, to potential future victims, and to our fellow firefighters who will risk their lives at these fires. We have a moral conviction to do everything and anything we can that will lead to saving a protecting, and we need to start learning.

How much longer do we have to wait for bridge?
3:50pm Friday 15th February 2013 in News
A FOOTBRIDGE which is the missing link in a riverside revamp should be reopened as soon as possible, says a leading councillor.
Derek Prodger, the city and county councillor for Worcester's Bedwardine ward, says the bridge over Diglis Basin has been ready for use for more than a year after it was renovated by Taylor Wimpey as part of its development in the area.
The walkway completes a circular riverside route which includes the new Diglis Bridge over the Severn, but Coun Prodger is concerned that it is not yet open to the public because of the delay caused by the Diglis Basin crossing.
The bridge belongs to the Canal and River Trust, while the right of way over it is the responsibility of Worcestershire County Council.
The council said it was working with the trust to overcome safety concerns, including putting up 'cyclists dismount on dock bridge' signs, to help the reopening process.
A trust spokesman said the hold-up had been caused by work on the bridge needing to adhere to the requirements of a conservation area and ensuring that the railings are safe.
He said a meeting was due to be held on Tuesday to confirm a date for the bridge's reopening.
Coun Prodger, who was the cabinet member for transport at the time of completion of the Diglis Bridge scheme, has welcomed news of the meeting.
"It's been like this for a year. I just wanted to know when we're going to open this bridge for use.
"It's the bridge to nowhere at the moment. I can't leave it looking like that any longer. We did all that work for the new Diglis Bridge and this is the missing link. It's got to be done as soon as possible. The bridge is sitting there, waiting to be used. I've not had information from anyone as to why.
"I welcome that there's a meeting taking place, but I believe that in the public interest this should be done as a matter of urgency.
"Whatever modifications they need to do to make it safe, I accept them, but I think we should act with urgency."
Ed Dursley, the county's sustainable schemes manager, said the council shared Coun Prodger's desire to see the refurbished Diglis Basin bridge open as soon as possible.
"Worcestershire County Council is working to support the Canal and River Trust, which is responsible for the bridge, with advice on the process of getting the bridge reopened as it is an important public footpath and therefore a valuable pedestrian link along the riverside."

Not that I disagree that the appropriate course of action would have been to just improve that route. I see they are putting up signs admitting that they can't do their job properly (with the standard approved wording for such signs of "cyclists dismount"). I am surprised Mr Dursley is backing such an admission of failure, as a cyclist himself. Personally I normally ignore such signs, but I'm not entirely sure I can ride up such a steep slope on my unicycle! I presume it was totally impossible for them to replace the bridge with a more sensible flat one, despite the dock being totally unused nowadays, hence no requirement for headroom for boats.

The developer has paid for it to be renovated.
I can't see why the Canal and River Trust aren't being forced to open it.

CATEGORIES MoviesNo hard feelings from Brett Ratner. On Sunday, the former Oscars producer tweeted about this year's ceremony, wishing his successor Brian Grazer good luck.
"Good luck @BrianGrazer and Don Misher!! I'm so excited for u! I know its [sic] going to be the biggest Oscars yet!!"
Back in November, Ratner stepped down as producer after uttering a homosexual slur about rehearsals.
"Being asked to help put on the Oscar show was the proudest moment of my career. But as painful as this may be for me, it would be worse if my association with the show were to be a distraction from the Academy and the high ideals it represents," said the "Tower Heist" director at the time.
Eddie Murphy, who Ratner had chosen to host this year's awards, stepped down as well, prompting Grazer and Billy Crystal to take over producer and hosting duties.

My generation will no doubt remember that old Ironside TV show on NBC, back during the late 60's to the mid-70's or so. It was huge hit for the network. If you remember the show, I'll bet you can remember how the show's theme music started. I'll also bet that it's even been sampled by rappers.
Starring Raymond Burr, who already was a TV icon for playing lawyer Perry Mason for many years, on the hit CBS show, Ironisde was a detective series in which Burr played a tough big city cop who was shot and left paralyzed from the waist down, from an assassination attempt; and with a group of young able-bodied assistants, he solved tough crimes plaguing the city.
Now NBC has decided that what worked in the past can work again, and has cast Blair Underwood in a pilot reboot of Ironside for a potential series. It'll be his first TV series gig since the failed sci-fi NBC show The Event.
Interestingly this kind of shows you how have things have changed..somewhat.
On the old show, there was a black character, played by Don Mitchell, whose basic job was to push Ironside around in his wheelchair. Now this time it's the black guy who's boss, who gets pushed around.
This is part of the development/talend holding agreement Underwood signed with NBC/Universal TV last year.
Rick Rothermel | February 6, 2013 12:44 AM
Might be interesting, but only if NBC has jettisoned all their know-nothing programming heads from the last 20 years or so. Boomtown, Southland, and more, excellent, adventurous series that were cut for little reason because one of the heads didn't 'like' them enough to give them a righteous time slot.
This fine actor played in another cop show... High Incident ... A Dreamworks/Stephen Spielberg EP series in the late 90s on ABC... and turned in a great performance, including his turn in the finale' episode, 'Shootout', a stirring take n the infamous North Hollywood Shootout, written by Ann Donahue, now exec on the myriad CSI series. Blair is one of those actors who shines best when put in great situations by epic writers.
I hope it works, but givebn the times and the locale (San Francisco) I fear it would become another nauseating preach-fest about gays/abortion/whatever PC drivel is the fashion this week. I wish Blair Underwood the best...
CareyCarey | February 5, 2013 11:29 PM
I would not be just a nuffun', my head all full of stuffin', my heart all full of pain. I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry, if I only had a brain.
Yep, that's right, I am again singing the Scarecrow's song "If I Only Had A Brain." I mean, anyone who believes this project is heading for Hitsville USA, can't have a brain made out of anything but straw. Are you kidding me... Raymond Burr, Perry Mason, Ironsides and who? I'll tell you who... anybody except a black man.
Listen, I've probably said this 100 times, white people are in no hurry to spend their time watching a black man in a lead TV role (period!), especially not the iconic figure Ironside.
Soooooo, with the thoughts they be thinkin', they could be another Lincoln, if they only had a brain.
ALM | February 5, 2013 10:09 PM
If they secure solid writers, we may finally see Blair get the hit vehicle that he deserves.
Tambay | February 5, 2013 10:51 AM
First Kojak with Vin Diesel, now this. I'm sure a Columbo reboot (with Taye Diggs) is coming too. But interesting choice for Blair. I wouldn't have predicted they'd go this route. My expectations are low, since NBC just hasn't done well recently with dramas revolving around black characters - Undercovers, and now Deception. The former was canceled before the end of its first season; the latter will likely be canceled since ratings haven't been all-that great.
No | February 5, 2013 10:48 AM
Sergio forgot to mention that the Ironside's theme was created by Quincy Jones.
MsWilliamsWorld | February 5, 2013 10:42 AM
Good googa mooga! Sergio, thanks for selecting THIS picture of Blair!
Cordell | February 5, 2013 10:27 AM
Let's hope Blair's series can last a season or two.

IMP pipes are all hand carved in Turkey from solid block meerschaum. The material (magnesium silicate) is found deep in the ground, and can be anything from the size of a potato to a large 'burl', which is later cut. The name means 'sea foam' and is very fitting since it is formed over eons from seashells and corals that crumbled and were compacted. When harvested, the feel is almost like hard cheese, and is then broken and chipped into different sizes for pipes. Carving actually takes place when they are still moist, and they are later baked to dry completely before they get a wax bath (which is what aids the coloring process).
IMP meerschaum pipes are hand made by very skilled craftsmen in stages. Someone often roughs out the shape, and a master comes in later to do the detailing (such as the figural pipes). Avoiding the wearing out problems of years earlier, each IMP is sleeved in the shank to receive the smooth nylon tenon which will have the same feel as removing the stem from most briar pipes. Each piece is fit with an acrylic bit and a very laborious process is next. They actually hand carve pieces of wood that is later lined and covered to become a unique case. The material of a meerschaum pipe won't burn, so there is no burnout, and the porosity allows for very beautiful coloring over the years.
