Reviews for Tomb Raider Game of the Year
New LaraObsessor | Aug. 17, 2014 | See all Obsessor's reviews »
Not only Lara. Whole game is nothing like the Tomb Radier games we're used to. And that's not bad, because what we get here is an intense single player experience. There are some inconsistencies. Like for example - At the beginning of the game Lara cringes from killing a deer, to feed herself. Twenty minutes later she kills her first man and is all sobs. Sixty seconds after that she's a killing machine, shooting and strangling everyone in her path. But if you get over it, like I did, Tomb Raider is an amazing action game. Everything's crumbling around you, explosions wreak havoc on the environment. Goons are shooting at you. One misstep and you're dead(fortunately checkpoints are numerous, so you will not have to repeat huge chunks of the game). And death... Some animations are more than suggestive. Outright sadistic. Either it's the enemies dying, or unfortunate Lara suffering a fatal accident(at one point you swim in a rushing river and if you're not fast enough Lara will end up with a metal bar, sticking through her skull).
As many people say - GOTY's not worth the price. I bought it because it was on sale, half the price of normal edition. The DLCs aren't anything special. But the single player campaign. It's worth every penny.
Fantastic Game, Well Worth Your TimeDBOT187 | Aug. 15, 2014 | See all DBOT187's reviews »
Tomb raider is a fantastic reboot of the series, overall it is about 25 hours long, the story is good (if a little cheesy and somewhat of a disconnect between scared lara in the movie clips and then a murdering rampaging lara in the game)
Be warned some of the death scenes if you die can be a bit gruesome, but besides that a top game.
Don't bother with the single player extra tomb its 5 minutes long at best and not worth your money.
Creation of a Legend TombRaideryngdr | Aug. 14, 2014 | See all yngdr's reviews »
The latest version of TR has got great graphics, music, and controls. Playing and watching Lara develop has been a real pleasure. GOTY edition garners you everything with a lower price tag. AI scripts seem well done with bad guys ducking and dodging attacks and yell at you to scare the little girl. Crafting system allows players to play however they want, ie mod bow for silent killing, mod guns for blast'em up style. The puzzles are not hard enough to take days to solve nor easy enough to solve in a min. and the battle interact with puzzles swiftly and smoothly. Great game at a fair price
Honestlykurfgiez | Aug. 14, 2014 | See all kurfgiez's reviews »
In a time where it's popular to make terrible reboots that miss the point of the original series, Tomb Raider is one of the few that actually improves a series. I would of liked to see more puzzle and jumping elements like the original games (though they are still core to the game), but nearly every other aspect of the game has been improved. I really liked exploring the environments and finding all the hidden items and improving your equipment and skills, however I would of liked the skill tree to have more meaningful choices (the amount of unlocks required to unlock the next tier of skills means you will get pretty much be getting everything anyway).
Sad to be a CroftNestorSaliven | Aug. 4, 2014 | See all NestorSaliven's reviews »
I know the developers wanted something new for a reboot, but honestly this is not Tomb Raider at all. The quick-time events really doesn't fit for tomb raider, not to mention that there aren't really tombs nearby just a jungle if you dont have the dlc-s. And those are also really small areas where you don't really need your brain only your gear to unlock. You can run around and kill animals and people, explore the area and search for stuff...well thanks...
The combat skills are nice and really useful and I really liked when it first appeared in a TR game, you can kill someone without a gun and stealth and stuff...but...this is not a Thief nor Dishonored nor....It doesn't really have a challenge at all. The enemies always know where to aim even when they don't see you. I think they have x-ray vision.
No hard puzzles which we loved in the previous games, no hard jumps, no timed open doors nothintg what makes Tomb Raider really Tomb Raider. Yeah a chick named Lara Croft but really thats all the connections we have. And here what broke the RE series either, developers made an action game like the other 500, of a game we loved just the way it was, an adventure game.(In RE a surival-horror) The action part really bored me. And the quick time events. I really hate those.
Also...No swan dive...
It has potentials and great ideas, but they erased all the earlier things which were awesome. It is really a nice and beautiful game though. The environment are really pretty. The combat elements are great, although Lara always ducks and none of those nice side jumps while shooting. No backward somersault. No feature like acrobatics. And I still think the last AC game has more of the adventurous exploring and tomb raiding than this game, but you should give it a try. Still a nice action game which somehow have a girl in it called Lara....
For a TR game: 65 For an action game: 95
Awesome Lara Croft Gamelajvjjajajaaaa | July 30, 2014 | See all lajvjjajajaaaa's reviews »
Tomb Raider is awesome thirds-person shooter game where you play with Lara again. It's very long game so prepare for the long night. It kinda similar to open world game but sadly it isn't. You begin in a island with almost nothing to fight the bad guys and as you progress mo and more weapons and upgrades, claim the mountains shoot, sneak kill and burn you enemies alive. Sometimes it can be scary if you play it late. The graphics are amazing. There is a lot of ancient temples that give the game a lot of good experience. It don't have much stuff to tell you how to play the game you need the figure it all by your self with makes it much better then a lot of games out there.
Game of the year? Maybe. But don't bother with GOTY edition.PersusNine | June 29, 2014 | See all PersusNine's reviews »
As many have said this is a pretty radical reboot but in my opinion it is all to the good. Out with the frankly quite weird (and not in a good way) akimbo uzi tiger shooting and in with something a bit more sensible but with a good deal more heart. There is a good bit of cover based shooting but it works, it works thematically and mechanically and it rarely feels completely locked in that cover based shooting is the only way forward. Attempting a more stealthy method or using your acrobatics to flank is generally (although admittedly not always) an option. Most importantly it fits Lara as a character. Deliberately jumping about in the open dodging bullets is for superheroes and madmen.
The plot and characters never gets that involved because this is an action game not an RPG but goodness, Rhianna Pratchett (the lead writer) has packed a lot of subtle character into a few cut scenes and diaries. Every character is believable in a way that you sadly just don't see that often.
This incarnation of Lara Croft is one of the most human videogame characters I've ever played. The nuances of animation is jaw dropping. Don't worry, she is very much still a bad ass but now she is a rather more believable one. This is the game that takes Lara firmly out of the embarrassing late ninety's teenage boy's fantasy and finally fulfils her potential of the character.
The GOTY edition though, yeah... don't bother. The single-player additions are extremely minimal. One tomb that takes quite literally five minutes to investigate and a few character skins that don't fit with the single player story so chances are you won't want to use. The rest is multiplayer focused. Buying multiplayer content for a singleplayer game over a year after release? I can't see that working out too well for you to be honest.
Different.. but AWESOMEramios | April 20, 2014 | See all ramios's reviews »
When I first heard about new Tomb Raider I was sceptical, but when I played I was pleasantly surprised.
Story is developing nicely, showing how Lara become strong and brave. I not really like how increased amount of combat and decreased numbers of puzzles are changing the series, but it keeps a climate of the island at least.
Over all it is one of the best games I played and I recommend it if you like puzzles and shooting.
Go for normal instead of GOTY...WraithFluX | April 17, 2014 | See all WraithFluX's reviews »
Tomb Raider is one of the most brilliant game to come out in 2013. It was a sleeper hit for me. I went into the game hoping to play another okay-ish game (considering the history of Tomb Raider games, its not so far-fetched an idea). While the starting half an hour is slow and full of quick-time events, it gets better as soon as she gets a weapon. Slick, fast-paced combat. Great, and i mean GREAT environment set-pieces and locations (the mountain village is one of my favorite places in a game!), decent story and strong main heroine all make up for a good 11-12 hour romp (14+ if you want to 100%)
BUT, before buying the GOTY version, think twice. Almost every DLC is multiplayer-focused (except skins and one optional 2-minute tomb), and MP is as dead as it can get. Its barren. And its NOT fun even if you manage to get in the game. Buy the normal game, there is nothing missing in it.
A Fun Adventure but Short Lived.Nat3r | April 16, 2014 | See all Nat3r's reviews »
Many people were skeptical when Tomb Raider was getting re-branded. If you can ignore the fact that Lara is a little girl about everything then you should have a great adventure. It's a pretty linear game, but there are some collectibles to find. The multiplayer isn't anything to run home about, but it can be a neat little side attraction.
This is How to Reboot a Franchisecedarson | April 15, 2014 | See all cedarson's reviews »
I was one of the most devout Tomb Raider fans back in the day.
When I bought a PS1, Resident Evil and Tomb Raider were the primary reasons. So my standards for the Tomb Raider franchise are always pretty high. When I heard they were doing a reboot, I was a bit skeptical, but I decided to give it a shot. Man, am I glad I did.
I love just about everything with this game: The pacing, the realism, the combat, the puzzles. It's all here. The sense of adventure is here, too, thanks to the wonderful environments. This is how to reboot a franchise. In fact, I might just fire it up today after beating it a few months ago after writing this review!
Uncharted for PC gamersspycid | April 15, 2014 | See all spycid's reviews »
You have heard about Uncharted before but you haven't played it? Then this is the game for you. Finally Tomb Raider gets a reboot (not that it was required) since it was long overdue for a new Tomb Raider to get out.
Tomb Raider is one of the best action adventure game of 2013. With a wafer thin storyline, the gritty gameplay, beautiful graphics and amazing set pieces, this game definitely deserves a goty award.
It's a must play for all Tomb Raider and Action-Adventure fans. This is the best deal out there right now, although it has most of the cosmetic dlcs. Still it's worth getting it now as the price is not going go down anytime soon.
Great in all Aspectspeshmi | April 15, 2014 | See all peshmi's reviews »
This game doesn't try anything revolutionary, it doesn't gamble. However, it has a very solid base. The graphics are great, the gameplay is ordinary but well done and fun, and the story is interesting. There are also a lot of extras that are interesting. Some inform on things such as WWII and history, which I personally found to be interesting.
When compared to the original series, I am unsure if a player would find them similar. They have their similarities, but I feel like this is a significantly different game.
I would definitely recommend it, though. It's well rounded and just fun to play. It's an AAA game done right.
New to the serieswooglah | March 25, 2014 | See all wooglah's reviews »
I never liked Tomb Raider. I know, it's a classic and everything and I've tried the first three games in the series back then when they were published... and later, gave it another chance with Underworld... But it was not my thing. I do not like games where hard puzzle means that camera is glued to your back so you can't see where to jump next. While there are some lame moments in this game, like all the quick time events, it's actually pretty fun to play. I had some free time last summer and managed to play and finish it in 24 hours straight, then went to sleep for another 12 hours. While that may sound insane, it does say a lot of the game, because I can't remember the last time that happened... Maybe with Sea Dogs back when I was below 20, and that was a decade ago. So, yeah, there's an interesting story, nice maps for exploring, a lot of action, some easy puzzling, beautiful graphics and sound, and a lot of optional stuff to collect if you like that. Get it sometime, you will not be sorry.
Excellent restart to the franchisekrimhorn | Feb. 20, 2014 | See all krimhorn's reviews »
It's no secret that I was hesitant about the reboot of Tomb Raider. Comparisons to Uncharted made it seem like it was more about the shooting than about the platforming and puzzles. On the one hand that's correct, there's more shooting and fewer puzzles than most previous games in the series. On the other it's so, so incorrect. This is one of the most well built, presented games that's been made. It's a third person platformer with elements of Metroidvanias. It has a believable progression for Lara from a normal, unskilled college girl to her first steps as the Tomb Raider.
TR was my biggest (pleasant) surprise of last year. Heartily recommended.
The Most Polished Game Of The Yearupandatom786 | Feb. 12, 2014 | See all upandatom786's reviews »
Tomb Raider was made with a specific goal in mind: to reboot a classic franchise for the modern age of video games. The development team succeeded tremendously in this goal. Although the game doesn't really tread any new ground, it's a really fun game to play, and it's obvious the high level of craftsmanship that went into making it. This is a smooth, smooth game. The controls are perfectly calibrated and tested, the graphics are immaculate, and voice acting and story are professionally done. This isn't the most exciting or innovative game of the year, but you'd be hard pressed to find one that's more fun to play.
A fun adventurexgatto | Feb. 10, 2014 | See all xgatto's reviews »
I used to play a lot of Tomb Raider back in the day, and I can tell you that at least from my perspective, this doesn't feel that much like a Tomb Raider game, it feels you're playing a silly girl instead of Lara freaking Croft, you don't even wield dual pistols. Might as well call it Tomb Raider Origins. But aside from the feeling, it's a pretty good game. It's fun, it's one of those games that try really hard to be a movie with action packed quicktime events and everything. Puzzles, well there aren't many, I wouldnt call putting a barrel on a platform a puzzle but if you count those well there might be some puzzles in there. Graphical wise, the game is pretty nice, awesome textures, and if you have a powerful enough PC you can try out Tress FX hair simulation, which makes Lara look even better, but if you don't you don't need to panic, as the game is very well optimized and will run on lower end systems too.
All in all, fun casual game, you play the main story once, get the experience, and you're done.
They should have called it-Island RaiderDarkSparda | Feb. 8, 2014 | See all DarkSparda's reviews »
I have been Tomb Raider fan since time immemorial. This Tomb Raider reminds me back of the roots of the game in 1996. You can spend a lot of fun time while playing it. Sometimes this game reminds me of the Batman series. However, there is not a lot to choose as you play this game. It is prettly linear. The creators also managed very well to put RPG element in the game though it is not meant to be RPG at all. The action survival mode is quite engaging, but shooting and sneaking elements are not inventive. Although the story of the game is immersive it doesn't offer new elements to already similar game stories in the past. And thank God they put tombs to raid. It is of no coincidence that the game is called-Tomb Raider. This time they should have called it-Island Raider. I think that in some moments the actress that plays Lara has struggles in reading the script! All in all, good work guys! Wonder how will Lara look in the next-gen consoles!
Solid GameDaknee | Feb. 7, 2014 | See all Daknee's reviews »
I enjoyed playing this game from start to finish. I have never played any of the other games except a little bit of the first one god knows how long ago. So I wasn't really burdened with expectations however I really enjoyed this game. I found myself rooting for Lara all the way through. I can't really fault the combat or the exploration aspects of the game. The weapon upgrades are fun and going back to solve problems is enjoyable too. I can't think of any gripes I had about this game. However I have no idea how a purist would view it. I have actually recommended the game to a friend who also enjoys it.
Good storyIDprofile | Feb. 6, 2014 | See all IDprofile's reviews »
This game is not for everyone. There is a great story with great voice acting, amazing graphics, and great cinematography. The constant cutscenes, and quick time button mashing events can make it feel like you are barely even playing the game. Half the time you are just sitting back and watching a film. However if your are looking for an easy laid back game with an immersive story then this is what you are looking for. An example of one of the moments that really bothered me is that there are quite a few times where your avatar Laura is hanging onto the edge of a cliff and one of her hands slips, leaving her single handily dangling. You must quickly press a button to swing her dangling hand back onto the ledge or she will fall to her death and you will need to restart the event. However one of these moments happened again and so I started quickly pressing the button to save myself but no matter what I did she still fell and I discovered that it was all just part of the story as she fell and slid down the hill. This really broke my immersion making me feel like I had no control of the game and was simply watching already decided events take place. I got the game on sale so I still think it was worth it to play.
One of the best games in 2013vladigeorgiev85 | Feb. 4, 2014 | See all vladigeorgiev85's reviews »
As a fan of the TR series I was a bit doubtful for this one... Just too many years have past sinced the last good Tomb Raider game. But Crystal Dynamics pleasantly suprised me. I will say this once and I hope the next game will be even better: This is the best TR game ever - Period!!
Graphics: As everybody expected from the trailers,the game is a beauty. It is well made and works on semi-decent GPU's quite well too(I use Ati Mobility Radeon 5600 and it doesn't hurt that much the beauty of the game on normal settings)
Gameplay: It is quite fun from the beggining - pure Lara experience....shooting,jumping,getting beat up...etc. I do hate a bit the QTE moments,but you can live with those.
Audio: Amazing as always. Square Enix/Eidos are always great on the sounds/background music in their AAA titles,so no suprise here
Overall: 9/10

On a winding country road, a car carrying loud, cursing, judgment-impaired lads speeds past Irish policeman Gerry Boyle. The car and its occupants are hightailing it toward oblivion. The officer barely registers the violation — or doesn't seem to.
But here's the thing about Sgt. Gerry Boyle, as embodied so appealingly by Brendan Gleeson in "The Guard": He doesn't appear to be interested in unfolding crimes or particularly respectful of the law. Yet, as the heart, soul and uncensored tongue of writer-director John McDonagh's arch comedic debut, Boyle is both those things and a bag of chips, as they say.
Set in Ireland's County Galway, "The Guard" is a postmodern Western. Arizona band Calexico provides twanging guitars and Tejano-tinted notes. Boyle is the type of lawman who obeys his own keen — if occasionally permissive — sense of right and wrong.
When a murder coincides with an international drug-trafficking investigation, Boyle must work with a visiting FBI agent sent to oversee the case.
Don Cheadle plays agent Wendell Everett with a great deal of starch, although the G-man's choice of outfits suggests a guy with more flair. "Do you juggle as well?" asks Boyle with a smirk.
The two do not hit it off. Everett's the severe straight man. Boyle's a jerker of chains. It's classic buddy-flick territory, traversed by pros Cheadle and Gleeson.
Rory Keenan has nice moments as Boyle's new, utterly sincere partner, a gentle cop married to an Eastern European beauty (Katarina Cas).
From the get-go, Boyle keeps Everett — and at times, the audience — guessing. Is he stupid or unbelievably smart? Is he a lout, a liar or something entirely more canny?
But then, the jester is often the smartest guy in the room — or on-screen. And Gleeson nails this man of roiling, bemused contradictions. The burly Irish actor provides a sympathetic portrait of a cop as complicated soul. He's fond of silk dressing gowns. On his wall hangs an overly large poster of Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell.
"Who?" you ask. "He's like a Wayne Newton type," said McDonagh during a recent phone interview. In other words, he's one more example of Boyle's unusual tastes.
As Boyle's ailing mother, Fionnula Flanagan is astute and vulnerable in equal measure. Is Sgt. Boyle a mama's boy? We can only hope, given this mama.
Yes, he keeps frisky company with call girls. But his interactions are playfully sex-positive and oddly genuine.
The sergeant isn't the only one in "The Guard" chafing against type or fighting the boredom of his routine. Malaise is the unifying theme. Conversing on the way to drop-off points or scoping out a pier, the three drug traffickers sound as if they, too, have grown weary of their trade.
Portrayed with easy chemistry by Liam Cunningham, David Wilmot and Mark Strong, the trio engage in word games, argue about philosophers and wrestle with the nature of mental illness. Is the watery-eyed, lank-haired killer O'Leary (Wilmot) a sociopath, a psychopath or just very good at his job?
His face-off with Boyle (more parlor tête-u-tête than gunslinging showdown) is a thing of ruminative splendor: two smart men toying with each other. Though O'Leary clearly has the advantage, given the gun and all.
McDonagh's script is agile, darting between the ridiculous, the sage and the surprisingly sentimental. His love of language and the absurd has hints of the wisecracking Quentin Tarantino. But the story is decidedly more rooted in Ireland's loamy turf.
If you're looking for a comparably edge-of-darkness comedy, consider "In Bruges," co-starring Gleeson as a hitman on a busman's holiday in the stunning Belgian town. Colin Farrell portrays his friend and assassin. It was directed by John Michael McDonagh's brother, the well-known playwright Martin McDonagh.
And now each man has a shockingly funny, deftly edgy debut under his belt. Which leaves us wondering: "The brothers McDonagh — what must their childhood have been like?"

Video: Alan Saunders was airlifted to hospital in AustraliaEnlarge
A man has been attacked by a shark while fishing on a beach in waters that were only knee deep.
Alan Saunders was bitten on both legs by the Grey Nurse Shark off the coast of New South Wales in Australia.
He reportedly suffered deep puncture wounds in the attack in the town of Crowdy Head.
His brother said he was bitten as he was releasing one of three sharks caught in a fishing net.
Ray Saunders said: "Alan was involved in removing one of the sharks out of the wings of the net.
"He released that shark but another shark came in and bit him on both legs."
The 51-year-old is being treated in hospital in the city of Newcastle after being taken there by air ambulance.

Storage facility experts tell ABC7 spring and summer are popular times for customers to sign up for a storage unit.
Uncle Bob's Self Storage manager Trudie Lawrence said there are three things shoppers should look for - like security, air conditioning and insurance.
"We have gated access and everyone has a key," Lawrence said.
Lawrence also said air conditioning is key if customers want to store things long-term.
"You do not want anything delicate in the extreme Florida heat, "she said.
Other storage facilities maangers ABC7 spoke with said only about 1-2 percent of customers invest in insurance for their unit.
Insurance on a unit is sometimes required, and homeowner's insurance plans may cover the cost.
ABC7 found most facilities in the area offer insurance for a starting price of about $9.
Since it is a popular time of year for moving, Uncle Bob's now offers free two-week access to a moving truck for any storage unit renters.

Rev. Al Sharpton and I at a press conference in Detroit, Michigan (photo credit: Joe Jones) Gilbert Arenas, the relatively unknown basketball player ...
It's one of the biggest debates in sports: should college athletes be paid? Everyone from sports fans and media personalities to the players and general public seem to have an opinion.
Every four years the Gay Games brings a collection of athletes from around the world to one location - this year to Cleveland, a short six hour ride from New York City. When the opportunity to attend was presented itself, I jumped at the chance to meet so many LGBT athletes.
On June 28, 2007, Greg Oden rose from his seat, gave his mom a kiss, shook hands with those around him, and made his way up to meet NBA Commissioner David Stern, who just announced that he was the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft.
Where would a gifted athlete rather be at 18 years of age? Toiling away in some small town on an unknown rookie league team in baseball, or playing to a national TV crowd and sold out stadiums on a Division I powerhouse?
How does the Cavs' ascension affect the rest of the league?
Sadly, today scholar and athlete are not used enough in the same sentence, but the Riverside Hawks are an organization intent on changing those circumstances.
What is most notable about this announcement though is the focus on her work ethic, skills, and successes as the new hire. Sure, every headline, including this one, focuses on her gender, but her gender is not the reason she was hired.
On Saturday, Mitch Richmond will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the highest individual honor a basketball player can achieve.
A compelling spectacle, sports promotes the cherished American ideal of intense competition on a level playing field where race nor gender matter.
Somebody PLEASE nominate San Antonio Spurs Gregg Popovich for governor of Texas.
Indiana's Paul George had yet to be wheeled into the operating room, and the naysayers and sports pundits were speculating as to the response of the Pacers' Larry Bird and his fellow NBA front office cohorts.
We've heard about the most spectacular falls -- such as Mike Tyson and Kareem Abdul Jabbar -- but, unfortunately, this sad outcome is far from rare.
After reviewing the footage and analyzing a series of bad plays since Janay Rice's attack, it's clear that the victims of domestic violence whose attackers play for professional sports associations are in desperate need of a strong defensive lineup.
LeBron James is back in Cleveland. Carmelo Anthony has returned to New York. Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker have finally made it to the NBA. After such an exciting, entertaining and simply ridiculous summer, we are now inching toward the regular season.
Like Lebron James, the NBA appears dedicated to setting a proper example. Like Johnny Football, the NFL has continually skirted responsibility for its actions and realities.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Thanks for your hospitality. We had a lovely time in the Cottage. We need to come back again to take the property tour. We loved the dinner and the exchange of intellectual ideas.
Warm greetings
My parents were born in Cuba, moved to the US in 1960 and after graduate school, moved to PR which we consider our Home. They raised us (three daughters) for most of our life, in this beautiful rainforest and named it, Hacienda 'Pakibe' from the first two letters of our nicknames. It was in its origins, a very extensive and productive coffee plantation for many years.
For my parents, the benefits of a peaceful, beautiful, and safe country living very close to town and the University of Mayaguez (10 mts drive) where my dad was an Engineering Professor for many years, was exactly what they were looking for.
Total relaxation, peaceful starling nights, fun and exiting expeditions to the river or walking trails, beautiful flora and fauna everywhere, very safe (only guest & residents are allowed access to the property) the proximity to all the beautiful west coast beaches and everything in town.

Anyone else seeing what this guy is doing with his minutes? Since Pekovic went down, Dieng has averaged:
12.2 pt 13.8 reb 1.6 ast 1.2 blk 1.2 stl 56% from the field
It has only been 5 full games but they have been against some of the best centers in the league (Howard, Gasol, and Cousins). And despite the Wolves losing 3 of the 5 and the aggregate final point margins (Min +2 vs. Sac, +1 vs Dal, -23 vs Hou, -7 vs Phx, -17 vs Mem), he is a surprising +9.
I like Shane Larkin as much as the next guy, this is only 5 games, and Dieng is 3 years older than Shane for what it's worth but maybe the Mavs should have stuck with height and a proven winner in the draft (not that a Mavs draft miss is new news). I know 20 other teams passed on him too but this one hurts a little bit since he was on my list.

Nonprofit boards best suit Johnson Controls' Roell
Send this story to a friend
Johnson Controls Inc. president, chairman and CEO Steve Roell serves on the boards of directors of various nonprofit boards but don't expect to find him accepting a seat on an outside corporate board any time soon.
"I made a real conscious decision to devote my time to the nonprofits," Roell told me during a recent chat at Johnson Controls' corporate headquarters in Glendale. Roell opted to limit his corporate board commitment solely to Johnson Controls and its affiliated businesses.
Prior leaders at Johnson Controls, including Jim Keyes and Fred Brengel, had similar commitments, Roell said.
"I followed what I saw as their example and I did it at the expense of not really getting involved with other corporate boards," Roell said. "I've turned down requests, partly because of my travel and partly because of my commitment to the community."
Roell serves on the boards of the Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare and the Medical College of Wisconsin. In February, the United Way of Greater Milwaukee elected Roell as chairman of its board of directors.
Many of the nonprofit organizations in the Milwaukee area are working hard to address social issues, Roell said.
"The bigger challenge is not just the social needs of the community but trying to address all the demands of the community, whether it be the Milwaukee Bucks, the symphony, the arts and charter schools," he said. "We're getting stretched pretty thin in what we can fund as an organization."
Check out an extended question-and-answer piece I compiled from my interview with Roell in this week's edition of The Business Journal. He talks local expansion by Johnson Controls, its ongoing worldwide growth and commitment to a future expansion in downtown Milwaukee.

Japan firms hit by labour crunch, many see profits squeezed -Reuters poll
TOKYO, Aug 22 (Reuters) – Some 60 percent of Japanese firms
are finding it increasingly difficult to secure sufficient
workers, hit by a pervasive labour shortage that is pushing up
hiring costs and starting to eat into profits, a Reuters poll
Stemming from a rapidly ageing society where immigration is
limited, the labour crunch has emerged amid an economic
turnaround engineered by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and threatens
to drag on growth.
After shopping spree, Japanese trading houses take hard look at resources
TOKYO (Reuters) – After going on a spending spree during the global commodities boom, many Japanese trading houses have stretched their balance sheets and are now looking to sell off some of the assets to fund future investment plans.
Japan's five biggest trading houses all booked lower profits in their metal resources businesses for the April-June quarter, making coal and other minerals prime candidates as they look to offload unprofitable assets and find others with more promise.
Asian buyers take 25 pct more Iran oil in first half
TOKYO, July 31 (Reuters) – Iran's biggest clients took in a
quarter more oil in the first six months of 2014 than in the
same period of last year, with China and India holding to the
higher volumes they started after the agreement that relaxed
Western sanctions on Tehran.
Iran's exports to its top four oil buyers – China, India,
Japan and South Korea – may keep rising even though a deadline
for a final deal on its disputed nuclear programme had to be
extended. The lead U.S. nuclear negotiator on Tuesday said
participants aim to reach a resolution on the decade-old dispute
by the end of the four-month extension.
Future grows darker for solar energy growth in Japan
TOKYO, July 30 (Reuters) – On the second anniversary of a
scheme aimed at boosting Japan's renewable energy after the
Fukushima crisis, its powerful industry ministry is taking steps
critics say will choke off solar investment and pave the way for
a return to nuclear power.
Japan's ambitious plans for solar in the past two years –
if they were to come on stream — could allow the country to
surpass Germany as the world's biggest consumer of solar power.
One third of Japan firms say business hurt by China, South Korea tensions: poll
TOKYO (Reuters) – Diplomatic tensions with China and South Korea are hurting business for a third of Japanese firms, a Reuters poll found, with executives citing a drop-off in sales and difficulties in making deals work.
Under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japan has angered its neighbors with assertive foreign policies and looser restraints on the military, although tensions with China have not returned to levels seen in 2012 when territorial disputes prompted violent anti-Japan protests.
Japan Inc hopes to use corporate tax cut windfall on capex: Reuters poll
TOKYO (Reuters) – More than half of Japanese companies would consider investing the windfall from a promised corporate tax cut on operations at home, a Reuters poll showed, underscoring an increasingly bullish outlook for the economy.
Boosting domestic capital spending and ending deflation are central goals for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who is keen to build upon success that bold monetary easing and hefty fiscal spending have had in weakening the yen and boosting stocks.
China to take more Iranian oil, boosting Asia's total-sources
BEIJING/TOKYO, June 11 (Reuters) – China is set to take more
Iranian crude than it did before tough sanctions were put in
place in early 2012, as Asia's biggest refiner Sinopec Corp buys
more oil from the Middle East nation, sources with direct
knowledge of China's buying strategy said.
Western sanctions over the past few years had reduced Iran's
crude shipments to less than half and crippled its economy by
choking the flow of petrodollars. Some of those measures were
eased following a breakthrough diplomatic deal last November in
return for Tehran curtailing its nuclear programme.
Japan to open residential power market to competition
TOKYO, June 11 (Reuters) – Japanese lawmakers voted
overwhelmingly on Wednesday to open up the residential
electricity market to full competition, the latest step in a
radical shakeup of the power industry in the wake of the
Fukushima nuclear disaster.
The change frees up a 7.5 trillion yen ($73 billion) market
to all companies from around 2016, allowing them to sell
electricity and other services to almost 77 million households
and 7.4 million small business, according to government figures.
Huge Russia-China gas deal still leaves door open to Japan
TOKYO, June 8 (Reuters) – For once, China looks to have done
Japan a favour.
In clinching a $400 billion deal last month to buy Russian
gas, China may end up helping out its old political and economic
rival in a way that matters hugely for Japan – energy security.
Asia's Jan-Apr Iran oil intake tops volume allowed by nuclear deal
TOKYO, May 30 (Reuters) – Iran's Asian buyers kept their oil
imports from the OPEC member in the first four months of 2014
above the level allowed by the deal that eases some Western
sanctions on Tehran in exchange for curbs to its nuclear
Under the deal signed in November and implemented in
January, Iran agreed to curtail its uranium enrichment programme
in return for the easing of some sanctions. As part of that
agreement, Tehran is supposed to keep its exports at around 1
million barrels per day (bpd) for the six months to July 20.

LISTEN: The '60s Batman theme, sung by actual bats
Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun... Bat... man?
Bats, man. YouTube
Like whales and porpoises, bats use echolocation to navigate, bouncing frequencies off nearby objects to orient themselves in the air. Humans can't hear their ultrasonic screeching unless we digitally lower the frequency to something our ears can distinguish. Which is at least partly how we ended up with this: The original 1960s Batman theme, as sung by an artificial chorus of noisy bats. It was arranged by German composer Ulrich Seidel, who assigned each of the keys on his keyboard a different ultrasound sampled from real bats. Yes, it's weird and a little unnerving. But then again, you could say the same thing about Robin's old crime-fighting shorts.

Attorney will receive $20,000 from city's insurance carrier
TELL CITY - A civil lawsuit filed last year against Tell City and two of its police officers has been settled in U.S. District Court.
Tell City attorney Michael H. Hagedorn will receive $20,000 from Cincinnati Insurance under terms of the settlement signed May 27 by Judge Richard Young. Hagedorn filed his case Aug. 24, naming as defendants the city of Tell City and police-department officers John Allen and Marty Haughee.
City Attorney James Tyler, announcing the settlement at last Monday's meeting of the Tell City Board of Public Works and Safety, said the settlement was initiated by the city's insurance carrier after taking into account the legal fees it would have had to pay to see the case to trial. Tyler said legal bills would have exceeded the amount of the settlement.
The case was dismissed with prejudice, Tyler said, meaning it can't be resurrected and was made with no admission of wrongdoing by the city or its officers.
No city money is involved in the settlement, he said.
Cincinnati Insurance had covered legal fees, hiring Evansville attorney Keith Sermersheim to represent the city and its officers. The case was assigned to Young but had been referred to Magistrate William Hussman Jr., who requested a meeting to discuss a possible settlement, Tyler said.
City attorney since Jan. 1, he attended the settlement conference on behalf of the city.
"Both sides presented their views on what the evidence (in a trial) would show," Tyler said. "The insurance company reached a figure agreeable to both parties. Both sides were not particularly satisfied, which probably means it was a good compromise."
In his complaint, Hagedorn alleges the two officers committed trespass and residential entry and damaged his personal property Aug. 27, 2005. He also claims they falsely accused him of criminal conduct and violated his state and federal constitutional rights.
A tort notice sent to the city stated Michael Hagedorn's version of events on that day, when he was arrested for domestic violence after allegedly injuring Ronda Hagedorn, his wife at the time.
Hagedorn alleges that Ronda Hagedorn made false charges against him to police and that Allen and Haughee drove to Hagedorn's residence at 2404 Pestalozzi St. in Tell City.
Hagedorn alleges that Ronda Hagedorn asked Allen to telephone her when her husband had been arrested.
Allen and Haughee didn't find Michael Hagedorn at the home and Allen allegedly called Ronda Hagedorn and told her police had not located her husband.
Hagedorn then alleges Barbara Etienne and Pat Kanneberg, friends of Ronda Hagedorn, arrived at his home, broke in and removed items. Both women were also named as defendants in the suit.
Michael Hagedorn later arrived at the home and was placed in custody, the suit states. He claims Allen and Haughee refused to stop the women from removing items from the home and placing them into a moving van.
Hagedorn also alleges the two officers also entered the structure without his permission. At one point, Hagedorn allegedly asked the officers to drive him to his law office on Main Street so he could show them a copy of a prenuptial agreement, but they refused, the complaint states.
One of the officers, the suit alleged, finally stopped the women from removing any additional items from the house.
A written statement by Michael Hagedorn's son and attorney, Walter R. Hagedorn II, argued some of Tyler's statements last week were misleading. Walter Hagedorn said the city, had it judged its case that strong, could have rejected the settlement agreed to by its insurance carrier.
"In settlement of cases of this nature, it is customary and usual for defendants like Allen and Haughee to disclaim wrongdoing and liability despite settlement of the case. Insurance companies under contracts of liability coverage with insureds always retain the right to control litigation and settlement of claims as a condition of insurance coverage, which is what happened in this case," Walter Hagedorn wrote.
"Officers Allen and Haughee and the city of Tell City signed the documents agreeing to settle the case. The officers and the city had the option not to agree and to proceed without the insurance company providing and paying for a defense, and a judgment, if one was entered against them."
Walter Hagedorn said the settlement amount was not important to his client. What is important, he said, is that police officers be accountable for their actions.
"The case was brought to demonstrate that police officers may not violate an individual's constitutional or statutory rights without being held accountable for their actions," Walter Hagedorn said.
The conduct of the two officers, he added, "should not be taken as a negative reflection on the Tell City Police Department's overall performance and service to the community."
"Michael's purpose in filing the case has been accomplished and the conduct of Tell City Police Officers Allen and Haughee were appropriately addressed through the judicial process," he said.
