Scotland Yard Review
I've made it abundantly clear in the past that I love board games. While video games are obviously a passion of mine, their roots are embedded deeply in the social past-time of gathering around a table and vying for supremacy via cards, dice, tokens or just your mind Scotland Yard is almost 30 years old now and a true classic, but also one that may have left many a child frustrated by its obvious weaknesses as a board game, so how does it shape up as a video game? The game supports b…Watch The Video Review
The Bluecoats - North vs South Review
The original game this remake is based on, 'North & South' was based on the Belgian comic book 'Les Tuniques Bleues', which was a humorous take on the American Civil War. The Bluecoats – North vs South takes the "turn based strategy laden with mini-games" concept, updates the graphics and smooths over the whole experience. With a fresh coat of paint and some tinkering, how does this gaming classic hold up? Well the game starts at the options screen in which you c…Watch The Video Review
N.O.V.A. 3 - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance Review
N.O.V.A. 3 (NOVA3) is not above bombast and indeed it kicks things off in an explosive and gorgeous way. What follows is most certainly Gameloft's best entry in the science-fiction FPS series, but an unrelenting series of sequences that seem incomplete or untested drag the game back from the brink of excellence. The setting is a familiar one - Earth (or what remains of it) is under attack and you as the disgruntled, gravel-voiced hero are called back (despite saying you were done help…Watch The Video Review
THE KING OF FIGHTERS-i 2012. Review
When The King of Fighters-i first found its way on to the App Store and managed to rival its the Street Fighter titles, it was all I could do to contain my joy. Once again, developers had managed to defy conventions and turn a game that requires insanely precise controls in to something not only playable, but also competitive. The King of Fighters-i 2012 keeps the ball rolling and in much the same way that Volt did for Street Fighter IV. More to the point, those expecting a change-up…Watch The Video Review
Inotia 4 Review
As it is, and so shall it always be, given the fullness of time, yet another sequel to a somewhat popular KRPG series makes its way on to the App Store. Inotia 4: Assassin of Berkel by Com2us is the next on the chopping block, and it seemingly fails to learn from the past, instead seeking to exploit its free-to-play status. You are once again in the control of a teenager keen to prove himself (in this case as the 'virtuoso' of the Shadow Tribe) and you're thrown in to a 'whirlwind' st…Watch The Video Review
MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2 Review
CAPCOM generally doesn't skimp on the details when it comes to its fighting game releases on the App Store. It seems almost counter-intuitive to think a serious fighting game could be successful on a small touch-screen, but Street Fighter IV has shown that it's not only possible, but also a lot of fun. As such it's almost unfortunate for Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 to feel as rushed as it does, suffering from bloated controls on smaller iDevices and visuals that looked muddied thanks to poor…Watch The Video Review
Sky Gnomes Review
When one thinks of gnomes the mind often wanders to those creepy all-too-happy garden statues strewn across your neighbor's yard. Who would have thought that they were dare-devils? OK, in fantasy it's long been known that gnomes like to tinker and invent contraptions, but if we are to believe Sky Gnomes by Foursaken Media, their favorite form of entertainment is to build racing machines that allow them to plummet from the sky as fast as gnome-nly possible.Sky Gnomes is an entirely mult…Watch The Video Review
Nightfall Review
As much as I profess a love for board games, I must admit my preoccupation with video games keeps me out of the loop (as it were) when it comes to upcoming or popular titles. Nightfall, an aggressive deck-building card game from Alderac Entertainment Group, has gathered a strong following since its release last year - so it's no surprise to see Playdek, the iOS developer who brought out releases for Food Fight and Ascension, pushing this title out the door as well. Those familiar with…Watch The Video Review
Find the Princess – Top Free Maze Game Review
Mazes are interesting. As a child, Dave couldn't get enough of mazes, plowing through books and books of more and more complex and intricate maze-y challenges. When videogames started taking his spare time however, the mazes presented did not illicit the same reaction of fun and wonder. Instead there was only tedium and frustration (the basement of 'The 7th Guest being one such annoying memory). Perhaps the difference between mazes on paper and mazes in videogames is one of perception.…Watch The Video Review
SpellTower Review
Your average word game never fails to impress on some level as word formation is such a simple yet addictive puzzle for our brains to solve. What sets some above others is not only the format of finding words, but the elegance of word creation itself, and this is where Spelltower by Zach Gage shines. Words are created by swiping through letters. Not just vertically and horizontally however, but diagonally as well. And it's not to say it's like a word find either. You can start your wo…Watch The Video Review
MotoHeroz Review
Much like CAVE and their predictable, but almost always excellent bullet-hell shooters, RedLynx can be counted upon to add to their collection of time-trial titles. Fresh off the heels of their update to the Draw Race series, MotoHeroz is a side-on time-trial racer, but it's not entirely new for the company as it repackages a stripped down version of the Nintendo Wii title of the same name for the iOS platform. 'Stripped down' has such a nasty sound to it though and all you're likely…Watch The Video Review
Kids vs Goblins Review
A recent commenter on our videos pointed out that often a game falls under the category of evolution and not revolution - put another more personal context, while new and unique games are praise-worthy, there's no reason why a game can't take something we know and build upon it. Kids vs Goblins by Stolen Couch Games and Crescent Moon Games does just this, giving the Battleheart formula a story-driven tweaking. This isn't the first time the publisher has pushed something like this thro…Watch The Video Review
Spice Bandits Review
In one of the more funny introductions to a game we've encountered in a while, Spice Bandits introduces the Spice Bandits, a galactic brand of pirates who plunder entire worlds in search of their precious addictive habit. Now they've set their sites on Earth. Most games would have you fight back the invading forces, but not this one. Do you have what it takes to help the pirates beat back Earth's defense force all in the name of spice? If so, please continue with the review. Once the…Watch The Video Review
Reckless Racing 2 Review
Strangely it doesn't feel as though much time has passed since Pixelbite first introduced iOS gamers to their Reckless Racing franchise, though this may be in-part thanks to a mid-year release of Reckless Getaway reminding players of what the developer can pull off. Reckless Racing 2 doesn't disappoint as it blasts on to the App Store, showing just how top-down racing should look, feel and play on hand-held touchscreen devices. From the outset the game feels rough and toug…Watch The Video Review
Desert Zombie Last Stand Review
If there's one thing that is a constant in zombie games is that they don't have guns, and they don't shoot back. I mean the whole point of the explosion of zombie related video-gaming is that it's a way to satisfy a desire for wonton violence against something that looks human, but isn't. The fact that they hobble around and are ripe for the deadly end of a variety of firearms just adds to the appeal... so what happens when that changes? Desert Zombie Last Stand is kind of like the me…Watch The Video Review

no coder literally means no game. Maps dont do **** without a game to be in.
We have a build, just, no animations.
We would LOVE for a coder to come along, But we always gotta remember the fact that multiple quake mods died due to lack of coder.
We have hope that one will come along
EVERYTHING is lost.
News to everyone: I left Seizure Salad, which means I will no longer be working on this game, or any of the other games I was working on. Some of you might know that I was the founder of the project, and Seizure Salad but luckily there will be people still working on this.
If we even get a coder.
Please come back some day
Scatter has been off skype for a few weeks, so im guessing thats why im not seeing anything done
They should post anything,model,gameplay,video or an animation to see ur team is alive,i think.... when SeniorMeatbox get off the team.They dont know nothing to do.Or i am wrong?Just show you are alive.
Just like NZP.
This is why I'm not on Moddb a lot. Desura has a ton of cool indie games though.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin is back with the team after an overnight hospital stay following a scary migraine attack, though his return to the field remains unclear.
Harvin was on the practice field Friday morning wearing a T-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes, drinking Gatorade while smiling and chatting with coaches. He exchanged handshakes and hugs with a few teammates -- waving at Pat Williams after the defensive tackle yelled "Hey, Perce, what's up?" -- before walking inside the team's practice facility.
Harvin was taken away from Winter Park by ambulance Thursday after getting sick and collapsing on the field, a sobering scene that prompted the Vikings to end practice early.
Harvin has missed all but a handful of practices since training camp began three weeks ago, plagued again by the unpredictable, debilitating migraine episodes that can leave him unable to function, let alone put on a helmet and pads and run around the field.
But Harvin was, by all accounts, doing fine one day later.
"He probably could've come over here and done some things today, except for the fact that they've got a couple tests that they want to finish with," coach Brad Childress said. "I don't know that we're going to solve that riddle immediately, and I don't know that there's any quick fixes. I think it's just going to be a work in progress, and even though you'd like to stick it in a box and have it be fixed this way. History has told migraines aren't that way."
Harvin will not travel with the team to San Francisco for Sunday's exhibition game against the 49ers. With the regular-season opener in New Orleans less than three weeks away, his availability -- let alone ability to contribute at an elite level -- is in question.
Childress downplayed the concern.
"He had a few last year that he dealt with and we dealt with, and if it was his first choice he'd here for all the prep for every week," Childress said. "But the fact is he has played well in games that he's had a migraine the week of the game, and it just matters whether it's a short one, a hard one, a two-day one and then what he was able to get out of the game plan."
Wide receiver Sidney Rice, who hasn't practised yet himself because of a lingering hip injury, is also in that uncertain category. Rice said Friday he's having "a little bit of pain" and acknowledged his readiness "is still up in the air" for the big Saints game on Sept. 9.
"I'm pushing, working hard every day," Rice said, adding: "As long as my conditioning is good and feel comfortable, I'm sure I'll be fine."
With depth an obvious concern at wide receiver, the Vikings worked out two notable veteran free agents in the morning: Brandon Jones and Javon Walker. Jones was let go this week by San Francisco, and Walker was cut in March by Oakland. Childress had yet to meet with them when he address the media and said neither player had been signed.
"We'll just see how it goes going forward," Childress said. "We are checking the other able-bodied guys out there that we feel like are a fit for us here. You have to be ready for a Plan B, usually."

Keys coach hits out at Dragons as Gerwyn Price heads for Glasgow
10:00am Monday 4th February 2013 in Sport Exclusive By Iwan Gabe Davies
CROSS Keys director of rugby Jonathan Westwood has slammed the Newport Gwent Dragons for allowing home-grown talent like Gerwyn Price to slip through the net.
Hooker Price, who trained with the Dragons last summer, has left Pandy Park to join Glasgow Warriors on a deal until the end of the season.
Although Westwood is delighted that the 27-year-old is getting his big chance, he finds the fact that Price and ex-Keys lock/back- rower Lewis Rawlins didn't get their big professional break with the Gwent region "heartbreaking".
Rawlins, 20, joined the Scarlets last summer after impressive displays at Pandy Park and made his regional debut at the end of January in a LV= Cup defeat at Sale.
Westwood stressed he and all at Keys are delighted for Price, but admitted he is saddened it is not the Dragons who signed him.
"In terms of player development, Gerwyn has got what he deserves – he has been a fantastic player for us," he said.
"Greg Woods (Keys head coach) and myself have been banging the drum about him, that he has the ability to play professionally.
"We are just delighted that he's got the opportunity – he has been craving this chance.
"He will have to make some personal sacrifices. He has to leave his family for a period and had to walk out on a job.
"I just hope those sacrifices are repaid and that he takes his opportunity.
"It's a huge opportunity for him. He's going from a building site to be playing professionally and there's no question about his ability."
Westwood added: "Everyone here knows he has the ability but we would all like him to be given his chance at our region because that's what we feel would have been the perfect scenario.
"But it was not meant to be around here and he just wants to play professionally.
"Gezzie told us that if he doesn't chance his arm he might regret it forever and he goes with our blessing.
"He's another potential professional player we have turned out at Keys – it was nice to see Lewis Rawlins playing for the Scarlets the other day.
"I just find it very frustrating they are not playing in the professional environment on our doorstep.
"And the thing that frustrates me most of all is that it is not as if we had an embarrassment of riches.
"I understand that everybody has got their opinions and the opinion was that Lewis wasn't good enough.
"And we were told that Gerwyn wasn't offered a contract at the Dragons because of his wrist injury.
"But why they didn't offer him a week-to-week contract, which I know he would have signed, I don't know."
Price's departure means Keys have gone from having three quality hookers to none, with Garry Horrigan forced to retire through injury last week and Jamie Sollis badly injured in a road accident just before Christmas.

Ex-"American Idol" Judge Kara DioGuardi, Jewel "Going Platinum" On New Reality Competition Show
Kara DioGuardi, the American Idol judge who failed to cause much uproar when she exited that show,will be the head judge of new Bravo series Going Platinum, a 10-episode reality competition for singer-songwriters expected to bow next year.
According to Entertainment Weekly, DioGuardi will be joined by onetime star musician Jewel (who has served as a guest Idol judge herself), who will serve as host and provide additional feedback to contestants.
The series, originally entitled Hitmakers and currently in production in Los Angeles, follows 12 musicians as they compete in songwriting challenges across a variety of genres — from dance tracks to love ballads, per Bravo — and perform. The judges, not the viewing audience, will determine the winner; who those other judges are has yet to be decided. (Let's all start a Paula Abdul rumor, shall we??!?!?)
Top prize is $100,000 in cash; a publishing deal with Sony; and a recording deal with RCA/Jive.

Weeks after Sandy hit the East Coast, I stood in the thick of its wreckage in Belle Harbor, Queens. As the sun set, I quickly packed up the vans along with thirty other Magpies before nightfall to head back to the City. A tattooed man driving a Bobcat stopped in the debris-filled street, providing one of the only sources of light, and said to me, "Not just anybody comes out here to help." For us, it was never a question. That's what family does. One of our own – longtime Magpie Shane Batty – lives in Belle Harbor.

VST Feng Shui
Rule number 1: get rid of the clutter
Over the years I have written a number of vst synths and effects, many of which are now part of the vst history, dating back from the very first days of Steinberg's sdk. They were proud companions of Neon or Pro-52 in the software arsenal of computer musicians in the previous millenium, and, according to the feedback I receive regularly, still find their way into many tracks today. However, with the launch of my new company, I have found that I need to better focus my energies, and I have thus decided to keep only Rhino in my current products list (don't worry, more will come…).
This means that Angelina, EP-station, Rainbow, and many other unreleased effects are now and forever free to download. The only thing I request from you is to register on this web site – you will be able to download them after registering.
Happy music making !

Hiroba is a veritable vegetarian oasis, particularly if you go for the lunch buffet. The organic Japanese buffet includes both vegetarian and meat options; descriptions are only in Japanese but signs for each dish include cute, helpful drawings of fish or pigs to explain if animal ingredients were used. The building is off Omote-sandō, a block behind the Hanae Mori building.
Boho Tokyoites have been coming here for tasty and nourishing macrobiotic fare since 1976. The casual, cosy dining room has seen some famous visitors too, like Paul McCartney. Chef Yamada's menu is heavily vegetarian, but also includes free-range chicken and Ezo shika (Hokkaidō venison; ¥4800).
This refreshingly down-to-earth cafe across from Hie-jinja serves up hearty macrobiotic lunch sets as well as tofu steak, keema (minced meat) curries and vegetable soups. There are a few counters or a large common table for seating.
As you gaze out over Tokyo Bay on a sunny day or a sparkly night, this glassed-in cafe at the far corner of the LaLaPort shopping centre might become the favourite place of you and your loved one – assuming your loved one has a waggly tail and cold nose.
Bright blue scaffolding holds this inviting wooden structure up over a two-car parking lot near Shinjuku-gyoen. Log beams and comfy furnishings welcome customers with a cosy, chalet-like atmosphere.
Out the Marunouchi exit of Tokyo Station, 'Marubiru' overflows with over 75 options for all budgets and tastes, including soaring, pricey Italian, kaiseki and Chinese on the 35th and 36th floors, Hawaiian hamburgers to Fukuoka rāmen on the 5th and 6th, and casual and takeaway in the basement.
Local Waseda students and expats come to Ben's to quell cravings for quiche, cappuccino or Belgian beer – or just to chill. There's no smoking indoors, and the patio out front is a good place to sip wine and watch life amble by on warm evenings. Ben's also hosts poetry readings and exhibitions by local artists, and it has wi-fi access.
Set in a wobbly wooden house that beat the 1923 earthquake and WWII, this wonderfully unpretentious space serves simple bites and doubles as a small gallery showcasing local artists.
Inspired, interestingly, by the greengrocers and farmers markets of NYC, this shop holds its own farmers market on Saturdays. Choose the airy interior or outdoor patio to enjoy a delicious assortment of vegetarian and vegan dishes – the mushroom rice is divine.
Join the lounging Waseda students at this homely cafe decorated like a university dorm (ripped couches and amateur art on the walls). Tuck into a 'moffle' (mochi -waffle) and wash it down with an espresso.
North of Marubiru, the 5th through 7th floors of (you guessed it) 'Shin-Marubiru' are gorgeously decked out like a ramble through old Edo.
A fortuitous partnership between a local design agency and celebrity artist Yoshitomo Nara, A to Z mixes country-style wooden slatting (there's a freestanding cottage within the cafe) with white-washed industrial piping overhead. Seemingly effortless yet undeniably inviting, this is one of Aoyama's best chill-out spots, and the food is delicious too.
A concrete hang-out above a trendy housewares boutique. You'll find gaggles of dog-toting brunchers lounging on bright Eames-inspired furniture. And it's not just about appearances – the food's pretty darn good too.
Arcing along a tranquil sculpture garden in the Hara Museum, Café d'Art serves tasty international fare in an inviting setting. Don't miss the regularly changing 'image cake' (¥735) – a uniquely crafted confection inspired by a piece in the gallery (thus making the dessert itself a work of art!).
Those who subscribe to the Muji lifestyle will be delighted to know that the 'no name brand' experience goes beyond neutral-toned notebooks, containers and linens. Meal MUJI follows the 'simpler is better' mantra with fresh deli fare uncluttered by chemicals and unpronounceable ingredients.

CATEGORIES Foreign Language, Celebrities and Controversy, Newsstand, Movies, CinematicalBollywood cinema -- Hindi movies emanating from the Mumbai region in India -- are often noted for their conservative values when it comes to onscreen interaction between male and female stars. This is, after all, the land where they used to cut away from onscreen kisses before they happened. This makes it all the more bizarre that actresses from the Indian film industry keep getting busted for prostitution.
Two actresses, Saira Banu and Jyoti, were arrested on August 23rd after an early morning raid of a brothel in the Hyderabad area -- further adding to the persistent rumor that India's leading ladies can be had if the price is right.
To be fair, neither actress is a Bollywood starlet -- both have worked in the smaller Tollywood region -- nor were they working on a street corner in a bad part of town. The area the actresses were arrested in is a high price neighborhood that houses government ministers, IT executives, and other well to do citizens. Still, both were arrested for taking part in what local authorities like to call "the flesh business."
As an article at Will Barnes Online mentions, this isn't the first time this happened. The real questions are why and are India's movie starlets really for sale?
Hit the jump for some possible answers and explanations.
The author of the Barnes article points out that India's conservative society has made the starlets into sexual objects. There's a huge difference in how an actress in a movie dresses compared to the average woman in India -- where saris and tunics are still standard fashion. The gap between the behaviors being demonstrated onscreen and in real life are vastly different, and men in the country seem to be buying in to the fantasy wholesale.
The other reason is much more disturbing. A criminal element has infiltrated the movie business in India, and local gangsters are taking starlets as girlfriends in some instances and then forcing them into dancing and prostitution. A similar thing has happened in Hong Kong with the Triads -- gangsters take over productions for money laundering purposes and then start forcing filmmakers and performers to do things through threats.
However, it appears as though most starlets in India aren't really for sale -- even if there's the illusion that they are. What's really happening is an elaborate bait-and-switch scheme where a "pimp" shows a customer a catalogue featuring A-list actresses and their prices. After they've selected, the actress the customer chose is conveniently "busy", but they can spend time with a young new actress who is really just a prostitute.
It doesn't stop there, though. In some instances, enterprising prostitutes and pimps have paid for advertisements for movies that will never be made so that the prostitute gets press as an actress and can increase her price -- even though she's never been in a film.
While it remains unclear just how many of India's female stars are involved in the sex trade, the idea of a brothel where top starlets can be had for the right amount of rupees seems pretty far-fetched. That being said, there's no doubt that these latest arrests will only add to the myth.

- you need to call ahead to get the care taker to open the gates for you (822 3532)
- you can either get the bus from down town or jump in a local cab to Benque Viejo. I opted for the cab on the way there. A nice man hailed one down for me outside the ice cream store opposite the local ...

We were served chicken kabobs and deep fried mashed potatoes which were super delicious. We had to bring our own booze, so we, the ...

Martinez beat him at US Nationals too.
Martinez beat him at US Nationals too.
Frayer drops a period to Josh Churella 0-2? A bit surprising... Looks like Caldwell might be adjusting to freestyle pretty well.
For those who have watched a few greco matches, how do they compare to matches under the "reverse clinch" rule?
66 kg should have some good semis, hope Caldwell wins. Matchup vs Metcalf = massive hype, while matchup vs Frayer = potential for a lot of throws.
FYI - The semis are streaming right now on http://livesportsvideo.com
Blanc & Felix goes to the clinch 3 times, painful as all heck to watch. Felix wins two ball grabs to one...
Steiber absolutely torches Martinez, get this kid to Colorado Springs.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hello everybody!
I'm looking for the good sites which have many and many open source fonts which are under GPL for allowing me to modify and project the fonts for Ubuntu themes.
EULA, CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 and CC BY-ND 3.0 s-u-c-k!
I need the open source and free fonts for projecting the Gnome and GTK themes for Ubuntu.
Do you know some good sites of many and many open source and GPL-like fonts?
Thank you!
Here's a start:
See: http://www.openfontlibrary.org/wiki/Existing_Free_Fonts
And go to the final page and see "Freeware Fonts"
No, no, no.
All these typodesigners, as Ray Larabie, Klein, and other don't allow to distribute, re-distribute and to derivate or remix their works, according their EULA. They don't want and won't hear the OpenFontLibrary's persuasion. These fonts are closed source while Linux is an open source software.
I found the Ray Larabie and other proprietary typodesigners freeware fonts housed on Ubuntu software center. Then why did Ubuntu house the Ray Larabie and other proprietary typodesigners closed source freeware fonts on its software center?
I'm against the house of Ray Larabie and other proprietary typodesigners fonts on Ubuntu because they're closed source! The closed source fonts, although are freeware, mustn't be housed on Ubuntu or any distros of Linux!
Because the users of Linux know what open source is and Linux is open source, if they know, they'll think all which are on Ubuntu are open source, then they'll modify and [re-]distribute the Ray Larabie and other proprietary typodesigners fonts without realizing that the derived works and [re-]distribution aren't allowed by Ray Larabie and other proprietary typodesigners!
I know you would tell us that there's description in fonts, but not all will view the fonts, not all know English, know reading in English and what EULA is!
I know you would say they can take the free-ware fonts on Ubuntu but they can't derive your works for projects and themes of Ubuntu or other. But if they want to modify? The closed source fonts mustn't be housed on any distros of Linux, only the open source fonts must be housed on Ubuntu or other distros of Linux because the users want to modify.
Then I'm against the house of closed source free-fonts on Ubuntu!
I'm fundamentalist and fanatic Linuxer.
Hoo-boy! You make me look conservative (ACK!! I just said the C-word! I need a brain bleach IV, stat!)
First, check the Open Font Library. Dafont has both for-free and freely-available fonts, and usually marks which is what. Similar with Font Squirrel; just step quickly past those fonts with the word "offsite" in the download link.
Té Rowan, Dafont and Fontsquirrel aren't sites of open source fonts, are just sites of freeware fonts. Open source and freeware are different things. Open source is GPL-like e CC BY-SA-like, or I mean open source allows to modify, distribute and redistribute. GPL and CC BY-SA are different of EULA which doesn't allow to modify the fonts.
Many fonts of Dafont and Fontsquirrel are under EULA and not under GPL or CC-BY-SA.
The Google Font Directory lets you browse all the fonts available via the Google Font API. All fonts in the directory are available for use on your website under an open source license and are served by Google servers.
The fonts are also available for download. A monetary donation is requested but not required at time of download.
Most are licensed under SIL or Apache terms, but there are other licenses used as well. Check each font's detailed information page for its specific license.
As I said, they host both for-free (freeware) and freely-available (open-source) fonts. I checked.

Mutual Funds Are Hot
By Dian Vujovich
If the Dow Jones Industrial Average were to stay at the level of yesterday's close,(8/27), 2009 would turn out to be one prosperous year for mutual fund investors.
A read through my weekly Lipper Performance Report showed the average year-to-date performance of the 12,872 funds that they cover to be a whopping 22.08 percent. Isn't that refreshing.
Looking back at historic returns, since year-end 1975 through year-end 2008, there have only been 10 years in which the DJIA closed up over 20 percent from the previous year. The two most recent ones were 2003, when it ended the year up 25.32 percent and in 1999 when it closed up nearly the same at 25.22 percent.
Of the 63 different types of equity funds included in Lipper's universe of 12,872, Latin American Funds have returned the most—the average one was up over 67 percent. In the entire lot, only one fund category was in the tank: Dedicated Short Bias funds were down on average 33.62 percent. It's included under Lipper's U.S. Diversified Funds heading.
Here's the lowdown on Lipper's year-to-date fund performance figures beginning Dec.31, 2008 and ending Aug. 27, 2009:
•U.S. Diversified Funds. There are 20 different types of funds under this heading. The average performance for the 8,194 funds in the group was 19.42 percent.
•Sector Equity Funds. Of the 1,757 funds in this group of 20 types, the average year-to-date return was 22.40 percent. The biggest performance winners were Global Science/Technology funds. They were up on average 45.8 percent.
•World Equity Funds. Twenty-three types of funds fall under this heading that includes 2,931 different funds. The average fund performance, through yesterday, was 22.08 percent. Latin American fund investors have seen those funds sizzle this year. The average return for the 30 funds in that group was 67.15 percent.
With four months to go, though, returns remain everybody's guess.

CELEBRITY TRAVELER: Jordin Sparks
Hawaii, Cabo just a start for singer
Now 20, Jordin Sparks remains the youngest person to have won "American Idol," which she did at 17. Touring has taken her many places, but her personal travel planning is just getting started.
Singer Jordin Sparks would love to travel to Japan. She's even learning Japanese to prep for her future trip. (Photo courtesy of Jive Records / June 2, 2010)
Q: What is your favorite vacation destination?
A: I went to Hawaii with my family when I was 9. And recently, this past December, I went to Cabo San Lucas (in Mexico) with my family. They both had beaches and lots to do, so I'd have to say those places.
Q: What are your favorite hotels and restaurants?
A: One of my favorite hotels is actually overseas (London). It's called the Grosvenor House Hotel (tiny.cc/1ghc5). It smells delectable when you walk in. The service is amazing, the food is phenomenal, and the beds are heavenly. In Los Angeles, there's this amazing Brazilian place called Bossa Nova (bossafood.com) and a great breakfast place called the Griddle Cafe (thegriddlecafe.com). There's a long wait, so call in or get there early. I also like this great sushi place called Koi (koirestaurant.com). In Arizona, there's this great Mexican place called Top Shelf (topshelfmexicanrestaurant.com) that's amazing on Sundays.
Q: When you go away, what are some of your must-have items?
A: My iPhone, iPod, laptop, Bible, guitar, my dog, Maggie, and a pillow and blanket from home.
Q: What are your five favorite cities?
A: Glendale, Ariz.; Durango, Colo.; Stockholm; Sydney; and Auckland, New Zealand.
Q: What kind of research do you do before you go away on a trip?
A: First, I make sure I'm going to like the hotel and that there are activities on the premises and that there are great activities outside of the hotel, as long as it's safe. I also search for restaurants and local landmarks.
Q: Where would you like to go that you've never been to before?
A: I would love to go to Japan. I love the culture, and I'm actually trying to learn the language. I'd also like to go to Egypt, Italy, back to Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, South America and more of Africa.
Q: What is your best and/or worst vacation memory?
A: This past vacation in December in Cabo was my best and worst memory. It was amazing because it had been about three years since I had some real time off. And I mean time off without doing interviews, answering e-mails, singing and worrying. I was with my family and nothing is better than being with them. But my granny passed away a few days before, and my dad was pretty devastated. New Year's happened while we were there and it was bittersweet.

The family of Brett Walrath will not take Outback Steakhouse to trial.
The two sides have reached a confidential settlement. The Walrath family was suing the restaurant for $32 million, accusing Outback of overserving Callie Long, the night she hit Brett Walrath in 2003.
In April, a Lubbock Judge sentenced Long to two years in prison for intoxication manslaughter in Walrath's death. The prosecution wants to try Long on a failure to stop and render aid charge.
Meanwhile, Long remains out on bond until her appeal is heard in June.
Callie Long Found Guilty of Intoxication Manslaughter
After almost 14 hours of deliberation, a Lubbock Jury found Callie Long guilty of intoxication manslaughter in the death of bicyclist Brett Walrath.

LONDON--Pressure is mounting on the U.K. government to exempt overseas students from tough immigration rules, with the heads of five parliamentary committees Thursday writing to Prime Minister David Cameron to urge him to protect the country's eight-billion-pound ($12.6 billion) market in international higher education.
Since it came into office in 2010, the government has been pursuing a policy that aims to reduce the number of immigrants moving to the U.K. to the tens of thousands from the hundreds of thousands.
As part of this policy, the government has cracked down on overseas student visas, including introducing rules to limit a student's right to work in the U.K. during and after their studies, which critics say is an impediment to the country's economic growth.
This crackdown appears to have led to a decline in the number of overseas students coming to study in the U.K.--data from the Office of National Statistics show the number of student visas issued in the year to September 2012 dropped 26% compared to the previous year.
Thursday's letter calls on Mr. Cameron to reconcile the government's immigration policy with its aspirations for economic growth by removing international university students from the net migration target.
Five parliamentary committees have now called for the government to exclude international students.
"We believe this degree of consensus between committees of both houses [of parliament] is unprecedented," the letter says.
The letter comes after London Mayor Boris Johnson in November warned that the government's introduced restrictions on student visas were having a damaging impact on the economy.
"International students not only bring bright ideas that cement the reputations of our leading universities, they have huge spending power that boosts the U.K. economy," he said at the time during a trade visit to India.
Mr. Johnson also wrote to Home Secretary Theresa May and Business Secretary Vince Cable to urge them to remove students from the government's net migration target.
Thursday's letter is signed by the chairs of the Business, Innovation and Skill Committee, the Public Accounts Committee, the Home Affairs Committee, the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee, and the House of Lords Home Affairs, Health and Education Committee.

Yes, 2009 NYC Marathon winner Meb Keflezighi is a U.S. citizen and therefore that makes him the first American to win the race in 27 years. American news outlets are falling all over themselves to talk this up. It's a wonderful achievement, no doubt. We finally proved to the world that we're better than Ethiopia at something.↵
But I can't help but think about the one fact that most people are conveniently leaving out of the story. Keflezighi became a U.S. citizen in 1998. He was born in Eritrea. Which is located right next to...you guessed it...Ethiopia.
I suppose if you can't beat'em, naturalize them.↵
UPDATE: Sean has clarified some of his original comments in this post here, if you're interested.

The hotel was quiet and very close to the National museum and metro stop which was a plus. Shopping area close by and the Main Railway station. the breakfast was very good and the staff was pleasant and helpful enough. - Anonymous
Γενικά πάρα πολύ καλό!!! Το ξενοδοχείο ήταν πολύ κοντά στο ιστορικό κέντρο. Η εξυπηρέτηση πελατών ήταν πολύ καλή. Βολικότατο και οικονομικό το εστιατόριο. - Thomas
The accommodation has an excellent location. It is very close to famous
places like Vaclav's Square, Old Town Market Square, Old Town in
general, Charles' s Bridge etc.Also the owner is a very friendly and
helpful person. He explained us everything very clearly. Even carried
our baggages. The appartment is very clean and well equipped. It has
everything that is necessary including a washing machine. The room is
spacy. I can highly recommend this place.Don't pay attention to the
owner's office. - Anonymous
I liked a lot the room I was staying, it had personality, nice decoration and even piano. I felt really comfortable and had everything I needed there to make breakfast etc. Also the area was nice and had good connections to other parts of the city and to railway station. - Anonymous
The hotel was clean, freshly decorated and the staff were very helpful. It's location meant we were on the doorstep of the city centre within easy walking distance of everything. Excellent. - Alex
The apartment was located on a busy square, extremely accessible to shopping, dining, and sightseeing. The castle was an easy 10 minute tram ride away, and everything else was within walking distance. The apartment was quiet, well equipped (dishes, stovetop, soap, towels), and spacious. We were given a good dinner recommendation by the woman working the desk, and enjoyed our time in Prague - Anonymous
easiness to reach every interesting spot; metro stations at the 'door steps'; different shops in the proximity - Anonymous
The best thing was central location. The apartments are right in the middle of Wenceslas Square (historical town centre) and 5-10 minutes walks from the beautiful Old Square - so it's the best possible location. The apartment was very well furnished with everything we needed, and the staff was also helpful and courteous when we requested for anything. I would like to stay there again should I visit Prague again - Anonymous
Sam was a nice host, the house is beautiful, specially the living room,

Impressive diver brings the sport back to the forefront at C.K. McClatchy
In the hours before a meet, Nevada Schultz visualizes himself performing each dive better than he's ever done before, but as he steps onto the diving board, his mindset changes. Thinking only about the dive he's about to perform and forgetting about the competition, the Sac-Joaquin Section Finals champion gets into a highly focused state of mind.
And then in a couple seconds, the dive is over.
But, it's the adrenaline rush from the excitement of completing a difficult dive that pushed Nevada to perform his best against great competitors.
At the section finals held at C.K. McClatchy High School on May 10, Nevada performed a backwards dive in a pike position so well it gave him momentum throughout the meet. His win was the first time a McClatchy student won Sections since 1979.
At the competition each diver performs 11 dives for Sections, each with a degree of difficulty rating which is then multiplied by the judges score. Nevada's dives ranged from a forward dive to a 1-½ somersault with two twists. Another dive included the challenging backwards (flip-toward-the-board) plunge.
Speaking about the day's excitement, Nevada said, "The pressure to perform was heavy; so completing all my dives at a high level felt great."
Competing against the divers on his Junior Olympic team who compete for other high schools, undoubtedly was Nevada's toughest competition. "They are all very good divers and any of us are capable of winning any meet," he said.
For a sport that normally doesn't get a lot of attention, Nevada said coming home a champion to long-time C.K. McClatchy's coach Dee Robbins was the best part this year. "The highlight of my season was making my coach, Dee Robbins, proud by winning Sections. It made all the hard work and training worth it to reach my goal for the season. It feels glorious to represent McClatchy successfully and bring home the championship after such a long drought (since 1979). Diving doesn't normally get a lot of attention, so this really helped bring attention to the sport at my high school," he said.
Diving for only three years this summer, Nevada said he found his passion for the sport a little later than most divers his age. Asked about his training regimen, Nevada said he jumps on a trampoline at home, dives year-round five days a week for at least two hours, and conditions on dry land with ab, leg, and stretching exercises.
Asked to describe what he likes most about diving, Robbins spoke on this very work ethic, exemplified by Nevada's hard work. "I enjoy watching kids improve and enjoy what they are doing. Diving takes commitment and hard work, but at the same time it is very satisfying and rewarding. The skills learned in the sport of diving carry over to help kids be successful in all aspects of their lives."
The highlights of Robbins' career continue to be the many deep and lasting friendships he's had with many of his divers.
Coaching for about 38 years, Robbins described how the sport has changed since then. "In 1976, there used to be many recreational diving teams. My team (The Sunrise Sharks) would compete against Park Terrace, Davis, Auburn, Placerville, Rosemont, and Arden Manor. Each team was limited to 40 participants per meet. I had about 80 kids on my team. Now, we have basically no recreational teams and very few beginning classes that teach diving. It also seems that the sport is evolving into a rich person's sport because of how expensive it is to participate," Robbins said.
