VESTAL, N.Y.--There was some October baseball going on at Binghamton University Tuesday, but the Bearcats weren't playing for a ring. Rather, BU players were looking to impress MLB scouts in the hopes of one day being able to play for one in the big leagues. Binghamton has produced 17 professionals in the last eight years.

Layout Tutorials
To celebrate the launch of my new book 'SketchUp to LayOut", I hosted a free webinar on launch day. (If you missed the webinar, you can watch the replay at www.Sketchuptolayout.com) This was my first ever live event, so needless to say it didn't go off without a hitch. Shortly after the webinar, I slapped myself on the forehead as I realized some of the essential tips I forgot to mention in the webinar. So here they are:
The Best Feature of LayOut
This one is so obvious, I can't believe I forgot to mention it. Hands down, the best reason you should be using LayOut to present your SketchUp models is that LayOut maintains a dynamic link to your SketchUp models. This means that you can insert viewports of your SketchUp model into a LayOut document, and if you ever make any changes to the model down the road, you can tell LayOut to update the viewports to reflect those changes.
There are a few things to watch out for, but first, let me bring you up to speed on how viewports and model references work:
With the release of Sketchup Pro 2013 came the new pattern fill feature in Layout. Not only is this a great solution for providing hatches in your Layout documents, but pattern fill can also be used for creating a number of unique effects. I'm going to show you how people have been creating hatches in Sketchup, as well as how to use the new Pattern Fill feature in Layout.
Why we need hatching
A Hatch is a symbolic pattern added to a drawing in order to help identify materials, objects, and spaces. They also help define section cut planes. Architects have been doing this for decades. Even before computer aided drafting they would draw in hatches by hand.
- Most hatch patterns are standardized, which makes them universally understood by whomever is interpreting your drawing.
- Hatches help visually identify areas that represent materials or objects from areas that are just empty space.
- Hatches help differentiate between material types. For example, different types of wood look very similar to each other if rendered as a realistic material. However, if you use hatches to define the different types of material, the hatches are easily distinguishable. This ensures accurate interpretation of your drawings.
- Hatches help define the plane of a section cut.
- Hatches tend to communicate better when printed out on a black & white printer, as compared to printing out realistic materials applied from Sketchup. Plus, they save on ink.
If you have Sketchup Pro, you have Layout. It's the companion software package for Sketchup that helps you prepare your model in 2D perspective views for printing out on paper. One of the most common tasks you'll have to do for Layout is prepare your model for importing. It's easy, and it's best to spend a little more time in Sketchup to configure your scenes before you even open Layout.
Prepare Scenes in Sketchup FIRST, then import into Layout
Layout does have some built in camera tools, allowing you to "open" your imported Sketchup model right from Layout and orbit the model. But you just don't have as much control as you do from Sketchup. So as you're planning out your Layout document, think about what types of views you'll want to get, then open your model in Sketchup to find those views and save them as scenes.
When you are using Sketchup for architecture or construction, you'll find there are many views you need to capture from each model. Make sure you label each scene as you create it so you can reference the name when selecting it in Layout. These are some typical views I like to configure, then save as scenes in Sketchup.
- Modeling View – This is just a scene to save my default modeling settings. As you start configuring your other scenes, you'll want to go back to modeling and this scene will get you back there fast.
- Top View – Bird's eye view from directly over head. You can just select the preset top view button in Sketchup. Don't worry if the view is not rotated correctly. You can easily rotate it in Layout.
- Perspective View – I like to put a nice 3D "Sketchy" perspective view right on the front page of the drawings. I usually crank the field of view up to 60 to get a nice perspective view.
(Camera --> Field of View --> 60)
- Elevation views – Most of the pages will be elevation views. (Elevation views are the perspectives as if you are standing directly in front of something, looking straight at it.) You'll typically have multiple elevations in a drawing set.

Open Access
Open Access (OA) means unrestricted availability of published scholarly information on the Internet. OA makes research findings more useful and accessible to more people.
There are two main ways of achieving OA.
One is 'parallel publishing'. The researcher publishes an article, in the usual way, in an academic journal (or conference publication) without OA. Simultaneously, or after some delay, a copy is deposited in an open archive to which there is unrestricted online access. Today, most Swedish higher education institutions (HEIs) have open archives. Publications registered and deposited in the HEIs' open archives are also to be made available through SwePub, the national search service. The archived copy must be the manuscript that has been fully reviewed and approved for publication, either in the publisher's graphic format or in the form of the author's own version.
The second option is to publish the article in an 'Open Access journal', where it immediately becomes freely available online. In some cases, OA journals charge authors for publication.
Open Access for researchers with funding from 2010
With effect from the 2010 application process, researchers awarded RJ grants have been required to publish their peer-reviewed work in academic journals and conference publications so that it is freely accessible on the Internet. As for monographs and book chapters, RJ urges and encourages researchers to publish these too with unrestricted online access. RJ provides special grants for OA publishing.
RJ covers the costs of OA publishing through a standard grant of SEK 30,000 per project, which is added to the project budget.
- If the researcher opts for parallel publishing, the article must be deposited in an open archive immediately after its publication in the journal. The article must then be made freely available in the shortest possible time, or within a maximum of six months.
- If the publisher does not allow parallel publishing or imposes a time lag exceeding six months before OA publishing may take place, the researcher must ask the publisher for an OA addendum to the publishing contract or else choose another journal. (Click on engelsk version for a sample letter and addendum to use as a starting point.)
- If this is unsuccessful, the researcher should ask RJ for an exemption from the OA rule and, in so doing, provide an account of attempts made.
- If the researcher opts to publish work in an OA journal, the article should also be deposited in the host HEI's open archives.
- The researcher's final financial and academic reports must state whether OA publishing has taken place and, if so, specify the publications concerned. If the researcher has had no work published with Open Access, the reasons must be specified.
Open Access for researchers with funding -2010
RJ wishes to urge and encourage those researchers who have current RJ grants to publish their peer-reviewed work in journals and in conference publications so that it is freely accessible on the Internet. The same applies to monographs and book chapters. RJ provides publication grants for OA.
To facilitate OA publishing, RJ provides grants for this purpose up to a maximum of SEK 30,000 per project.
For researchers who already have RJ grants, support for OA publishing should be applied for either at the same time as a grant for printing a research publication or in a separate procedure. The application, sent by email to the research secretary most closely involved, must contain:
the project leader's name the title and reference number of the project confirmation from the publisher that the article has been accepted for publication with Open Access notification from the publisher of any fee charged.
A researcher who receives a grant for OA publishing is subject to the same guidelines as all researchers awarded RJ grants with effect from the 2010 application process. The researcher's final financial and academic reports must state whether OA publishing has taken place and, if so, specify the publications concerned. If the researcher has been awarded a grant for OA publishing but nonetheless had no work published with Open Access, the reasons must be specified.
For details of relevant journals, see the Directory of Open Access Journals.
For details of publishers' rules about parallel publishing, see SHERPA/RoMEO, 'Publisher copyright policies & self-archiving'. The site lists international publishers. In the event that a specific journal is not included, go to the website concerned and address any queries directly to the publisher.

Nearly 2,000 people crowded the Atlantic City boardwalk Sunday, turning it purple for Alzheimer's awareness.
Supporters of the walk to end Alzheimer's raised more than $177,000 for Sunday's event. The money raised goes to the Alzheimer's association and will help fund research, caregiver support groups, early stage initiatives, consumer education, and community outreach programs. These services are offered to an estimated 85,000 in South Jersey who are affected by Alzheimer's or a related disorder and their families.

BECKLEY (WVVA) -- The victim of an early morning Mother's Day house fire tells her story exclusively to WVVA Wednesday.
Cassie Goodman, her 4-month-old baby Peyton, and her husband, live in the Beckley Town Home that was set on fire, all caught on surveillance video.
Cassie says she was the last one out of the home that morning, more concerned about making sure her daughter was okay.
Two and a half weeks later, she's still a little shaken from that morning.
"We're praying. We've had people praying about it and everything else. So hopefully it doesn't happen again, and we can go on with our lives and be safe," says Goodman.
BECKLEY (WVVA) - A woman who police say is responsible for an early morning Mother's Day arson has turned herself in.
Pamela Nichols, 40, of Beckley turned herself in to authorities Tuesday afternoon.
Police believe Nichols is the person seen in surveillance video walking up to a unit at the Beckley Town Homes, pouring gasoline at the doorstep, lighting it on fire and running away.
Police allege Nichols thought it was the home of someone she had a drug exchange with, but was mistaken.
The three who were inside were not harmed, but the fire has cost more than $3,000 in damages.
Nichols is facing a charge of first-degree arson.
If you have any information regarding the incident, call the Beckley PD at 304-256-1720.

A specially selected dried seaweed granule, harvested from the cold clean North Atlantic Ocean, that helps protect against the build up of plaque on your dogs teeth and the resulting tartar and gum disease.
Control of plaque, tartar -
Whilst we're aware that we need to have our own teeth checked by a Dentist on a regular basis we may not always give our pets' teeth the same consideration. One of the most common medical problems that dogs suffer from nowadays is tooth and gum disease. The result is that one of the commonest procedures carried out in Veterinary Surgeries is dental treatment that usually involves removal of plaque and tartar and may necessitate the use of a general anaesthetic.
Dog breath' as an expression is often down to the fact that many dogs do suffer from bad breath. Sometimes, this is down to a serious oral problem, so have your have your dog checked out by a vet. Assuming nothing too serious is found then you can go ahead and use this dog bad breath remedy.
Many dogs suffer from bad breath but it may be due to a serious oral problem. Other indications to look out for are yellow or brown stains on teeth particularly around the gum line, swollen or bleeding gums and lack of appetite due to sore or loose teeth. The problem may even cause a change in the dog's whole demeanour if the pain is acute.
What is plaque?
Plaque is the name for invisible but soft deposits of bacteria and food particles
that accumulate on the surface of teeth and gums. Plaque left untreated is likely
to turn hard, turning yellow then eventually brown -
Why is plaque harmful?
The bacteria associated with plaque can cause inflammation in the gums so may eventually damage the tissue holding tooth sockets as they sit within the jaw bones. A healthy mouth & gums is often indicative of good overall health and vice versa. Bad breath, sore gums & fragile teeth could indicate that your pet may have underlying problems.
Can we prevent plaque forming?
The diet we give our pets may determine to a large extent the health of teeth & gums;
animals fed largely on soft foods tend to build-
The most natural way for dogs to maintain a healthy mouth is by chewing on raw bones, ideally under supervision. The chewing action helps clean teeth whilst at the same time massaging the gums. Raw bones are safer than cooked bones as the latter are more likely to splinter.
Sprinkle over or mix into your dogs food once a day using the tiny measuring scoop provided. The exact amount isn't critical.
Small dogs (up to 10kg) half a scoop daily
Medium dogs (10-
Large dogs(over 25kg 2 scoops daily
The 70gm pot has 150 scoopfuls and the 400gm pot has 1000 scoopfuls

Arnold Leon Starts WBC Brawl
Well, an A has officially made news in the World Baseball Classic. After Team Canada bunts for a base hit with a 9-3 lead, Leon was publicly instructed to hit the next batter, which he promptly did on the 3rd pitch. Doesn't reflect well on Leon at all. Intentional plunking in this situation is just bad, and taking 3 pitches to hit a guy just makes it look worse.

Like Bongino, Jacobs sought election to Congress in 2012. She won the Republican nomination for the 2nd District seat but was easily defeated by incumbent Democratic Rep. C. A. Dutch Ruppersberger.
Jacobs said her decision has nothing to do with the frustration of being in a minority that is routinely stymied by the large Democratic majority. "The last eight years have not been a pleasant experience for Republicans, but I'm a fighter, not a quitter," she said.
She said it was a strictly personal decision that was influenced by her husband's struggle with cancer in recent years. "He's been my biggest cheerleader, and now it's time for me to take a step back," she said.
Jacobs' retirement could create an opportunity for Democrats to pick up the redistricted 34th District Senate seat. Though Jacobs expressed confidence that she could have won with the newly drawn lines, she said the district could be difficult for Republicans to hold.
"I think it's going to hard for a Republican who has not held office and who is not well known in this area," she said.
While the Republican Party has not enjoyed much success in beating Democrats in statewide or legislative elections in recent years, the party has seen a gradual influx of younger office-holders who have won intra-party battles over their elders. In 2010, Christopher B. Shank, now 40, knocked off five-term Washington County Sen. Donald Munson in the primary. In April, Del. Nicholas Kipke, 34, of Anne Arundel County ousted 52-year-old Del. Anthony J. O'Donnell of Calvert County as minority leader..
In another development in Republican politics, Harford County Executive David R. Craig announced that two Ehrlich administration veterans will play key roles in his 2014 gubernatorial campaign.
Paul Ellington, former chief of staff to Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele and a former executive director of the state party, will serve as campaign manager. Jim Pettit, a homeland security official under Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. who most recently worked for the advocacy group Change Maryland, will be the campaign's communications director.
Craig was among the Republicans who turned out to cheer Bongino, who until recently was contemplating his own bid for governor. He said Bongino had made the right decision in choosing the 6th District House race because of his interest in federal issues.
"I think he has a good shot," Craig said.

My kids love games – all games. Card games, board games, dice games, you name it! I enjoy games, but sometimes I struggle with being patient while we play a game that might be beyond their capabilities. Recently we decided to create a huge, wall-mounted scrabble board to hang in our kitchen so we can have ongoing scrabble games. Scrabble lets the kids work on vocabulary, spelling, learning new words, all kinds of good stuff. And they love that it's hanging right where all the action is!
If you want to make your own wall-mounted game (a similar approach would work for many games), here's what I did…
1. I googled and downloaded a printable scrabble board from here:
2. I made the image black and white since I didn't want all those bright colors hanging on my kitchen wall. After the fact, I thought sepia might have been nice too.
3. I resized the image to 28×28 and uploaded it to print at Staples Copy Center. Select oversized print and then engineering print. If you're only using black and white, this will only cost $1.99 to print.
4. I wanted a nice, thick frame so I found one I liked for a reasonable price in the size I wanted here:
5. Things got a little more challenging at this point…. I needed a magnetic surface behind my paper game board. You could easily purchase magnetic paint and paint the picture frame backing or even a thin board to put behind your game board, but magnetic paint is pretty expensive. I decided to buy a thin metal sheet at home depot. This was not so easy. After much searching, the Home Depot staff and I found out that thin magnetic sheets can be found by the register covers in a long, skinny version and by the mailboxes in a 2×3 foot version. I chose the later and hoped my husband would cut it for me. I ended up paying more than I wanted for the metal, but everyone at Home Depot was running around trying to find the right thing for me so I didn't feel like I could tell them no when they found it!
6. My husband used a dremmel to cut the metal sheet so he ended up with a 28×28 piece by cutting and putting pieces back together in the right shape. He taped the pieces together to form one large piece.
7. I was going to mod podge the game board print to the metal, but I didn't. I guess I just didn't think it was necessary. But we did use a little double stick tape to hold it on place.
8. Next we put the metal-backed game board in the frame, with the plexiglass cover, and hung it on the wall. As a note here, I was planning on an open frame and then using mod podge over the entire surface, but the magnets stuck through the plexiglass, and since it seemed like that would protect it more, that's how we did it.
*As I'm writing this, I also just thought that you could cut a board the size of your print, magnetic paint your board, spray mount your print to your board, and mod podge the top. Then you could forego the frame all together, which might look really cool too. Just a thought…*
9. My original plan was to buy a regular scrabble game and put magnets on the back of each letter. But I realized at this point in the project that those letters would be really small compared to the squares on the board. Never fear! As it turns out, you can buy 1.5in wood squares here (buy your magnets here too!):
10. You can download printable scrabble tiles here (very fun site):
11. I printed the tiles at home, so I had to work with the sizing a bit. I think I ended up printing them at about 73% to get them just smaller than my 1.5 in wood squares. I cropped the page in half so I printed one half of the set at 73%, then the other. It may take some trial and error, but it's not too hard. If I had saved it, I'd just give it to ya!
12. Next I cut out all the paper tiles and mod podged each letter to a wood tile, then mod podged over the top to protect them.
13. Then I took the magnets I bought from Annie Howe's on Etsy (see wood squares above) and used E6000 to glue a little magnet to the back of each tile. Toothpicks and a papertowel are useful when doing this. It's also worth following the directions on the E6000 by letting the glue set for a minute or two before you stick the magnet on, and then letting it dry for about 24 hours. I've used this glue a lot and it does make a difference!
14. After they're dry, you're ready to play scrabble! I think we are going to build a small bench to put on the floor below the game board so the kids can reach better, and we can also have a little box there to store the tiles.
This has been a hit so far! Please share if you make one of your own, I'd love to see it!!

Zimbabwe Lion Sculpture
(Based on 14 reviews)
Category: Home Décor/Home Accents
The population of lions in the wild has been decimated since the mid-20th century. Zimbabwe, where this fierce lion is hand-carved from rapoko soapstone, is one of only a handful of countries where these kings and queens of the jungle are still found in the wild. Please accept variations in each unique stone.
Shona Giraffe Sculpture
(Based on 26 reviews)
Category: Home Décor/Home Accents
Shona is a 20th-century name given to a number of related ethnic groups in Zimbabwe. They speak similar dialects of a standardized Shona language, and many trace their ancestry back to the 12th-century capital city of Great Zimbabwe, whose ruins are now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today's Shona stone carvers draw inspiration from those ancient builders and speak of releasing the spirit trapped in stone as they carve and polish with hand tools. Each handmade sculpture is unique, as is the raw, hand-quarried soapstone it emerged from; please accept variations.
Art Nouveau-inspired Tortoise Lamp
(Based on 11 reviews)
Category: Home Décor/Home Accents
The art nouveau movement of the early 20th century was inspired by nature, Eastern art and design, and a desire to create objects that were both beautiful and functional. This glowing stained-glass tortoise lamp with a brass-finished base is made in the tradition of classic art glass from the 1910s. Chinese mythology tells that the tortoise is one of four creatures who rule the corners of heaven, where it represents strength, longevity, and endurance.
South African Raku Elephant
(Based on 3 reviews)
Category: Home Décor/Home Accents
Artisans in South Africa use raku pottery techniques to create this colorful elephant. The bright color-block pattern is inspired by the beadwork and painted homes that are artistic hallmarks of the northeastern Ndzundza Ndebele people. Elephants symbolize steadfastness and wisdoma pair of curved tusks even frames South Africa's coat of arms. Popular lore says that elephants never forget, and they often recognize humans and other elephants even after decades, making this handcrafted sculpture a touching gift for a loved one who is far away. Colors may vary in each handcrafted sculpture.

Michigan, United...
I just tried to make an Obi Belt. I put some stitching on the front, alternating colors and width of the zig-zag. This was a trial run of a homemade pattern. We'll see – maybe I should make an ANDA and cinch the waist in with it instead of elastic, like my favorite Anda creations.
Denim, that's all.
Me… and my ancient Singer.

Pours a hazy yellow with an off white head that dissipates immediately. No lacing or cascading present. The nose consists primarily of citrus notes. The flavor is dominated by citrus notes with a malty finish and a hint of aspirin in the aftertaste. The flavor is underwhelming to say the least-I expected more. The mouthfeel is good, not too carbonated or overly syrupy. Overall, I had rather high expectations for this beer and was let down, especially for $6 per pint. Jade, which is one of my favorite IPAs period, is much better.

I really like this concepst of a different IPA every month from Foothills.Pours a dull lightly hazed apricot infused lighter golden whith a full one finger white lacey head atop.Aromas of ripe tropical fruits,some spiciness, along with a bit of butter/caramel,alot of fruitiness.I like the fruity hop complexity on the palate,overripe tropical fruits along iwth lighter bitterness in the finish,some booze and sugary sweetness holds up to the hops but is not in your face.I really like this beer and am looking forward to each month's rendition.

Good start guys! I have had this one for a few weeks and I have just picked up February's release, looking forward to it. This is a very pleasant IPA, but almost not an IPA. Its really a nice beer whatever you want to call it. Very tropical, like Jade, but more smooth around the edges. I could drink a lot of these, if they were half the price I paid and the fact that they are all probably just about gone. Nevertheless, I am happy I got to try this one.
Appearance: Golden straw, with a lot of head and carbonation, as some others mentioned. This is not a bad thing to me. It almost looks like that most ubiquitous of American beers, but definitely is not.
Smell: Every time Foothills gets me. I love the smell of this one, its tropical fruits, almost even a chardonnay or a New Zealand Sauvignon blanc. Its interesting to say the least.
Taste: is nice, very well balanced, not too much hoppy resin but just enough to round out the fruit notes.
Mouthfeel: I can never really get this description that well, as long as its not syrup or some flat consistency I pretty much think mouthfeel is hard to describe, this one feels like a carbonated beer. Not creamy like a nitro, but typical of the style.
Overall, I like this one and I am looking forward to more releases.

i was looking at a Savage arms axis bolt rifle in .308 today for $300. was thinking about asking the guy if he'd be willing to trade. i have a marlin 30as made in '87, very well kept and clean with about 30 core lokt rounds and a 30 dollar scope. i had no idea if id look stupid for asking so i thought id post this and see what others had to say.
it would be fair in this part of the country if his has a scope
You never know--depends on his inventory--if he's heavy on bolt action and low on levers he may jump at it. All he can say is no--what do you have to lose ?

MuseScore survey 2013 results
Last month we conducted the first MuseScore community survey. We received 722 complete submissions which are much more than expected. So thanks to those who participated! If you didn't have a chance to add your voice, no worries, we plan to run more surveys in the future to follow up on how MuseScore is doing. That being said, what did we learn?
MuseScore software satisfaction level
Wow! You like the MuseScore a lot :) 72% of the participants to the survey gave MuseScore a score of 8 or more. We can deduct from it that the software is meeting most of your expectations. But we don't want to stop there and aim even higher. So let's have a look at the details and find out where we can improve on.
What does MuseScore do well?
Ease of Use
The MuseScore software is overall considered to be easy to use. That's quite an accomplishment given that designing a simple workflow for a complex task such as making sheet music is very challenging.
Print Quality
You are quite satisfied with the print quality of MuseScore which can be attributed to the combination of the quality musical font, the engraving rules built into MuseScore and more.
Software Stability
The stability of MuseScore seems to meet your expectations. It is a good sign of the effectiveness of the MuseScore contributor and developer community in reporting bugs and getting those fixed.
What should MuseScore improve on?
The documentation needs more attention. There is a learning curve to MuseScore so guiding our first time users to understand MuseScore's workflow should be our mission. Thus we have a plan. A reference handbook will be created of MuseScore 2.0, available to everyone to dive into and learn about the internals of MuseScore. If you ever thought of writing a guide for MuseScore like Katie Wardrobe has done with her Essential Beginner's Guide, this reference handbook will greatly lower your investment to get to know all about MuseScore. So we want to support anyone who has ambition to write books about MuseScore, even when it's a book for purchase.
Audio Quality
Playback quality in MuseScore is ok but a lot of the respondents were somewhat disappointed. This is not a surprise as due to limited developer resources, MuseScore's mantra has always been notation first, playback after. But this doesn't mean that we are neglecting playback. As a testimony of that, listen to the sound of MuseScore 2.0.
Support & Forums
A lot of people answered 'not applicable' for the support, helpdesk, forums and community. Perhaps this means that they didn't find their way yet to the MuseScore forums, or perhaps they simply don't need support. In any case, we plan to improve the musescore.org website for the next MuseScore release and lower the barrier to ask for help.
Net Promoter Score
How likely are you to recommend the MuseScore software to a friend or a colleague?
Based on yours answers, we were able to calculate the word-of-mouth level of MuseScore, or in marketing terms the Net Promoter Score: it is a stunning 68!
It means that the net percentage of people claiming they would recommend MuseScore as music notation software is 68%. It was calculated as the difference between 74% (lovers answering 9 or 10) and 6% (detractors answering 6 or lower) following to the methodology used with this NPS approach.
Next year we'll do a survey again and share the results. Hopefully with even more submissions and more insight!
about connected notes
Hello team,
First, I should state that I like MuseScore and it's ongoing develepment, as opposed the the expensive alternatives. Each program has it's minor problems, be it too extensive and thereby unoverviewable, or lacking really handy utilities, or looking rather unattractive. One will get by if -at the end- it does what you need. MuseScore is on the right way.
But, as a player of balkan music and coping with a lot of irregular measures, there has been a problem from the start with MuseScore. That problem is, that MuseScore will take no notice of your wishes in connecting notes.
For example, create a measure of 2+2+2+3 (9/8) and MuseScore will not connect your notes as 2-2-2-3, it will at the end connect as 3-3-3 and that is unusable for new interpretors. The same goes for imported music, for example, import a correctly written 2-2-2-3 from Finale in XML, and MuseScore will display it generally as 3-3-3 which is completely false. The same XML though would be importeed in Finale again correctly as originally meant.
So firstly, I would recommend that a measure like 2-2-2-3/8 or 2-2-3-2/8 be hounored in their note connections, because such a scheme denotes where mayor or minor accents are in the music.
Secondly, nobody wants to see 2-3-2-2/8 at the start of any staff, we want to see 9/8 and the exact interpretation (2-2-2-3 or 2-2-3-2 or even 3-2-2-2) being described at a higher level, and much better even shown in note connections wherever possible., so novices have less problems.
The examples above are rather simple, but we are also talking about 11/16 and 15/16 etcetera, and really upto extremes such as 31/32. Therefore, the scheme (like 2-2-3-2-2-3-3-2-2-3 (total 24) should be separated from the speed (like 4th or 8th or 16th or even 32th), and that scheme should be hounored in note-connections.
We keep looking at MuseScore. But as long as that it does not take a 11/16 into any given scheme (like 2-2-3-2-2), and does not display11/16 rather than 2-2-3-2-2/16, and does not display at least the 16th notes correspondingly connected, MuseScore remains really unuseable as to our concern.
From a programmers view (I am a prgrammer) I would make the scheme a general default as proposed above, with the possibility to overrule at just measure level. After all, I know a song measured 7/8+4/8+7/8+9/8 (effectively a 27/8) , and that is only the general scheme..., so a 4/8 should be easily intermixed for 1 or 2 measures.
Most important is the note-connection as given by the user : 2-2-2-3 or 3-2-2-3 or 4-5 or 3-2 ... then we can adopt museScore as our preferenced program.

Episode 485: What's Your Major?

Note: Today's show is a rerun. It originally ran in September 2013.
Sure, some college degrees lead to higher paying jobs than others. But what's shocking — at least, it was shocking to us — is just how big the gap can be.
The most lucrative majors typically lead to jobs with salaries over $100,000 a year. The least lucrative lead to salaries of around $30,000.
On today's show, we run the numbers. We talk to people who majored in the most- and least-lucrative subjects. And we hear from an economist who says, when it comes to income, choosing a major is more important than choosing a college.

No. 1 Most Expensive Coffee Comes From Elephant's No. 2
Hear this

Reported by
Michael Sullivan
I s#&% you not: The world's most expensive coffee is now being produced in Thailand's Golden Triangle, a region better known for another high-priced, if illegal, export: opium.
Canadian entrepreneur Blake Dinkin, 44, is betting his life savings he can turn his idea into, well, gold. Here's the catch: His Black Ivory Coffee is made by passing coffee beans through the not insubstantial stomachs of elephants and then picking the beans out of, well, yeah, that.
It's similar to Kopi Luwak, the civet coffee that was all the rage a few years back; Dinkin has just supersized the idea.
He knows Kopi Luwak's image has been trashed because of concerns over counterfeiting, disease and animal abuse. But he insists there's nothing fake — or frivolous — about Black Ivory Coffee.
"Look, there are easier ways to make money," he says. "I wouldn't spend 10 years and put my life savings if I didn't think it was real, or I thought it was just going to be an overnight gag."
Gag. Right. Let's just dispense with the jokes here and now, shall we?
"Crappacino," "Brew No. 2," "Good to the last dropping" — Dinkin has heard them all.
And while he's a good sport about it, it's clear he's tired of them, too. He'd rather talk about what makes his brew different — and better — than Kopi Luwak. And it starts with the idea that elephants, unlike humans or civets, are herbivores.
"They eat a lot of grass, green leafy matter. So a herbivore, to break that down, utilizes fermentation to break down that cellulose," he says. "Fermentation is great for things like wine, beer, coffee because it brings out sugar in bean and imparts the fruit from the coffee pulp into the bean."
And that fermentation that helps remove the bitterness, Dinkins says, is what makes his coffee unique.
"I want people to taste the bean, not just the roast," he says. "The aroma is floral and chocolate, the taste is chocolate malt with a bit of cherry. There's no bitterness. And it's very soft, like tea. So it's kind of like a cross between coffee and tea."
To get to that point, the coffee beans are mixed into a mash with fruit then fed to the elephants either by mouth, or hoovered right up the trunk. The latter pretty much sounds like a whole lot of change being sucked up a vacuum cleaner hose.
Then you wait anywhere from one to three days for the elephant to offload its cargo, pick the beans out of the elephant dung (if you can find it), lather, rinse, repeat. It's not always easy finding "the result," which is one of the reasons it takes about 33 pounds of coffee beans to make just one pound of Black Ivory Coffee.
And it's not just the slower cooker that makes the coffee different, Dinkin says. He sources his Arabica beans from hill tribes in the north of Thailand near the border with Myanmar. The drying process is long and the roasting process is precise.
And then there are the elephants. Specifically, how do you go about finding willing vessels? What would you do if some guy cold-called you and said he wanted to use your elephants as slow cookers?
John Roberts, the director of the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, remembers this.
"As long as we could prove there wasn't any caffeine or anything harmful leaking out then it was worth trying, at least," he says.
Was Roberts worried about the elephants hitting the mash a little too hard? Not really.
"It's not necessarily elephants getting buzzed I'm too worried about, it's more elephants missing their caffeine fix and getting headaches and being bad tempered ... it's very dangerous. The last thing you want is a cranky elephant," says Roberts.
So what does brew No. 2 taste like? I bought a serving — five or six espresso cups — for $70, and sat on the terrace of the five-star Anantara Golden Triangle hotel to watch Dinkin prepare the "experience."
First, he ground it lovingly. Then he brewed it, again with love. And then, after it cooled, I was ready.
The first thing that came to my (admittedly) juvenile mind was a scene from an Austin Powers movie where he says, "It's a bit nutty."
And in fact the elephant poop coffee was a bit nutty. But also very flavorful and not at all bitter — just as Dinkin had promised.
I then went inside to pimp a few cups to hotel guests. And as luck would have it, the first I met was a Finn. And the Finns drink more coffee per capita than anyone else in the world. Which made Juha Hiekkamaki the perfect subject as he sipped—tentatively.
"Yes, that's kind of very interesting, because usually I use a lot of sugar with coffee, but this is a very gentle taste and I really quite like it," he noted.
And then it got better, because his wife, Claire is a Brit. And she doesn't even drink coffee. Her verdict?
"It's sort of fruity. Well, OK, it's raisin-y to me," she said. "I normally describe drinking coffee as bit like drinking puddle water. But it doesn't have that terrible muddy water flavor afterward. It's really nice. I really like it."
Don't expect Black Ivory in a Starbuck's near you. Dinkin is selling an experience, limited — for now — to five-star hotels and resorts in Asia and the Middle East. And one tiny store in Comfort, Tex., called The Elephant Story, where the profits go to elephant conservation.
"I'm not looking to sell a lot of it," Dinkin says. "I want to keep as small, niche business, I get to work with people in enjoy being with and I can make a decent living doing it and everyone's happy, that's what I want."
So far, he's still not quite there. But he says he's close to breaking even.
From A Father And Son, What It Means To Be A Military Man
Hear this

Reported by
NPR Staff
Military service once defined the lives of many men in the United States, particularly before the end of the draft in 1973. But today, many younger adults have no direct family ties to the military at all.
For the men in Mark and Jeremy Pierce's family, however, military service is a tradition dating back to the Civil War.
"My father always taught us growing up that there's service to the community, service to the church and service to the country," says Mark, of Fillmore, Utah, who retired in 2010 after nearly four decades as a Green Beret. Jeremy, his son, is a veteran of the U.S. Army, and Jeremy's brother has also served.
NPR's Audie Cornish talks with Mark and Jeremy about how military service contributed to their coming of age as men, how service has often been tied to masculinity across the generations — and how that may be changing as the share of women in the military has grown.
Interview Highlights
On Jeremy's decision to enlist as a family rite of passage
Mark: At the time Jeremy joined, I was in Iraq. We were getting rocket fire, and I would be talking to Jer about joining up, via Skype, and they'd hear the explosions and the sirens — and then I would have to leave. And my wife was going, 'Jeremy, are you sure you want to do this? Look what you're dad's going through.' And he said, 'Well, it's the family tradition, it's what we have to do.'
On how military service contributed to their sense of becoming a man
Mark: I'll boil it down to you: In the crucible of combat, you will learn more about yourself and the people around you in five minutes ... than you will the rest of your life. It's a tough lesson, and a hard way to learn it, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Jeremy: When I joined the army I was very immature, and I thought that being a man was just being able to grow a full beard and having a deep voice. But similar to what my father said, you just take an unpolished look at yourself and you know exactly how you are as a person and what you need to do to improve.
On whether military service is tied to masculinity
Mark: Because of our family tradition, I always said to [the] boys, 'You can go into military if you want. I told my daughter I didn't want her to, because I'm 62 and I grew up in an era when women stayed home and raised kids. And you know, we're all subject to the paradigms we learned when we were raised growing up, and that's mine.
Jeremy: My wife is in the Army. ... I feel like military service isn't tied to any sort of machismo or masculinity per se. It's just throughout the media, it's twisted towards [men]. ... Whenever you see anybody in the military, they're usually like, you know, Sylvester Stallone or something ridiculous, where they're over-the-top manly.
On how having a military spouse makes Jeremy and Mark's experiences differ
Jeremy: It was actually good to have my wife ... in the service, because I could open up and talk to her more than some of my peers [can]. ... They can kind of fool their wives and be like, 'Oh, that faint mortar fire in the background, that's nothing, that's a training exercise.'
Mark: By the way, I am very proud of my daughter-in-law. You know, she outranks me! I gave her her first salute when she was commissioned, which I thought was terrific.
For me, the hardest thing was my poor wife. You know, we've been married almost 30 years now and so she's been on board. ... It was tough on her, especially when I would come back from the combat missions, because I'd never talk about it. ... And I'd sit there and she'd say, 'What's bothering you?' And I'd say, 'I can't even talk about it.'
On Mark's advice to his sons about combat
Mark: The main thing I told both of my boys, is that once you make a decision to pull the trigger, or to do something that's going to end a life, you make absolutely sure that those conditions under which you do that are clear in your mind, because you'll relive that the rest of your life.
Jeremy: And there were a few times that I really had to take that advice to heart. ... Once I got into Iraq and there [were] a few confrontations, [that advice] just kind of seemed to slow the world down. ... We had one point where a person was trying to drive a car through our gate, and we didn't know if they were lost or if they had a car bomb. And it ended up that he was just an innocent civilian who was just trying to turn around at our gate.
On how both men feel about the prospect of Jeremy's son serving
Jeremy: I wouldn't want him to join, but if that's his decision, I'd support him in it.
Mark: No, [I wouldn't be disappointed]. Times change. People change. You know, I encourage everyone to try the military, or try something to challenge yourself, because as I said back in high school ... 'When I'm old I wanna have a lot of neat stories to tell and I do. And now both my sons, now they have some stories to tell. And so hopefully, as the grandchildren get older, we'll be able to bore 'em to death at family reunions.
'F' Is For Fraudster In A Family Novel For Our Modern Times
Hear this

Reported by
Ellah Allfrey
A father takes his three sons to a hypnotist's show. Called onto the stage, the father's cool self-possession and confidence seem to prevail and he walks away, claiming no effect. They leave the show, he drops his sons off and drives away. We learn later that he has taken his passport and emptied the family bank account. The boys will not see him again until they are adults.
Arthur Friedland's abandonment of his children is the tragedy at the center of this beautifully translated novel by German-Austrian author Daniel Kehlmann. When we next meet the brothers they are grown, and each is experiencing a crisis of sorts. Martin, the son of an earlier marriage, is overweight, socially awkward and still obsessed with the Rubik's Cube his father gave him as a boy. Although now an ordained priest, he cannot manage to conjure actual belief in even the most basic tenants of faith.
Martin's half-brothers — identical twins Eric and Ivan — had been inseparable (and indistinguishable) as boys but are now drawn apart by the secrets they keep from each other. Eric is a businessman whose financial misdeeds are about to catch up with him; Ivan is an art dealer and forger. In fact, all three brothers are fraudsters of one kind or another and through them, Kehlmann, with dry wit, philosophical wonderings and relentless pessimism, examines the detail of lives lived without integrity.
None of the Friedland men are very good at life. Plaintively, one of them muses: "How did other people know how to behave, where was it written, how did you learn it?" Do their problems all stem from Arthur's disappearance? Did something happen to him on that stage with the hypnotist to make him run away from his life and his family? Or is the state of mind that makes for disconnection and disaffection just our lot as humans in complex modern times?
In chapters that switch point of view to focus on each family member in turn, Kehlmann narrates the lives of the brothers during the summer of 2008, just before the global financial crisis as the deceptions upon which their respective existences are built are threatened with exposure.
This is a book for the reader who doesn't mind working hard. In one exceptional chapter, there is an anecdotal genealogy-in-reverse that tracks the lives of Arthur's ancestors across the globe and through the centuries. It's an object lesson in compression made all the more intriguing by the fact that, taking into account the abandoned babies and disappearing fathers, it's a lineage that cannot possibly be verified. And yet the reader is compelled by the recurring talents and fates that mark the family history.
Kehlmann's prose is sophisticated and often dense, his musings on religion, art and life are intellectually rigorous and his plotting masterful in the linking of the story's separate narratives with overlaps that, when revealed, surprise and shock the reader. Despite the fact that I did not find a single likeable character here — each too deeply flawed and unpleasant to be comfortably deserving of empathy — the challenge made this a hugely rewarding read. After all, as Arthur tells one of his sons: "A life doesn't last long, Ivan. If you're not careful, you squander it in stupidities."
Recent research shows that works in translation account for approximately 3 percent of all books published annually in the U.S. and the UK. Fiction's slice is an even smaller fraction. Thank the publishing gods, then, for the work of translators such as Carol Brown Janeway. Even a writer of Kehlmann's proven skill needs a sensitive and equally talented translator to transform images, jokes and all the complexities of well-drawn characters believably into another language. So well attuned is Janeway to the author's style and sensibility that I did not find a single false note in the entire book.
Although I persuaded myself that I was reading a tale with a distinctly German 'personality,' there was much in Kehlmann's study of a family in crisis that I connected with: the thoughtless disloyalties and acts of selfishness along with mutual co-dependence; the sense of shared fates even as each seeks to forge a separate life.
Kehlmann's rendering of life's mysteries, and Janeway's seemingly effortless brilliance as a translator allow the reader a window to another world, another language, as if looking (and listening) through clear, highly polished glass.

Top-ranked recipe named "Triple/dual-decked Strawberry sponge cake"
1. Preheat the oven to about 190 degrees.
2. with an electric whisk, beat the butter and sugar and vanilla essence (if any) together.
3. beat in the eggs one at a time until 'dropping' consistency has been reached
4. fold in the flour (if it's too stiff, add in cooled boiled water)
5. place the mix into the tin and make a dent in the middle
6. bake at 170 degrees for 20-30mins or until the skewer comes out clean and leave to cool on a cooling rack
7. mix the cream with the chopped strawberries
8. cut the cake into 2 or 3 layers (if the cake has risen enough to do so) with a long knife (e.g. bread knives)
9. spread the strawberry cream in between the layers and stack the layers on top of each other (do not make the cream layer too thick or it will ooze out)
10. dust the icing sugar on top with a sieve then arrange halved strawberries on top. serve. (tea and coffee go well with this)

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A group of 15 Louisville Metro police officers have filed a class action lawsuit against the city and the Metro Housing Authority.
The plaintiffs claim they were exposed to toxic levels of mold at a government building on Barret Avenue that is owned and run by the Metro Housing Authority and Public Works Department.
The lawsuit claimed those departments did not maintain the building, and made the people who worked there sick.
The plaintiffs are asking for the building to be properly cleaned before they return to work.

Whether you are looking for a good 25-30 hour RTS campaign, or just the next big online RTS in the tradition of Magic the Gathering, Impossible Creatures has something inventive and fun for everyone.
The concept of combining animals together to create units is innovative enough to overcome other stagnant RTS aspects.
The creature creation process is close to enough to recommend this by itself, but put together with a fun single player mode and interesting "Magic the Gathering" style army building multiplayer strategy, it's a kooky ride that most gaming fans will enjoy.
The innovation gets waylaid by the less than revolutionary components that make up the rest of the title... On the other hand, its less than revolutionary portions are actually very well polished and executed.
Unfortunately, the game play in "Impossible Creatures" doesn't match the title's ingenious premise.
The great retro sci-fi setting and creative twist in unit creation just cant make up for cumbersome gameplay and poor unit control.
In a vacuous bubble, the prospect of combining creatures would create all sorts of wacky experimental fun. But in the context of real-time strategy, it becomes an unnecessary chore.

As I see it as of today the number one need is at Defensive Tackle > Now for this draft Cox, Brocker's And Poe are no longer on the board. So at pick 25 I would really like to trade down into round two and get a D Tackle there . However looking at the board with New England and Greenbay may well go D Tackle in round one . Saint Louis and Indianapolis may go D Tackle to start off round two so I'm not comfortable that I can get a D Tackle that fits at # 57 .
RD. ! # 25 Jerel Worthy D Tackle Michigan State - Worthy gets of the snap better than any tackle in this class . He can collapse the pocket and be a disruptive force. CBS Sports currently have him at # 27 on their big board .
RD. 2 #57 Chris Polk Running Back Washington - Polk has been discussed here on MHR since the start of the draft season and I still like him and think he will fit with Willis McGahee very well . CBS Sports has him at # 60 as of now .
RD. 3 # 87 Brock Osweiler Quarter back Arizona - Elway takes his QB here instead of another D Tackle (Josh Chapman or Mike Martin ) . After watching Osweiler with Jon Gruden today I'm not so opposed to this as I was before.
RD. 4 # 108 Ryan Broyles Wide receiver Oklahoma -Broyles will be a perfect fit for Peyton Manning as a slot receiver . Broyles is the all time reception leader in the big 12 and one of his strengths is yards after the catch . Broyles is also gifted in the return game . If it were not for his knee injury he would be rated much higher but he is going to have a workout within the next couple of weeks as he was unable to perform at the combine . His stock has been on the rise and if he is still on the board at this pick it will be a steal .
RD 4 #120 Chase Minnefield Corner back Virginia - Minniefield is a corner that had a late first to second round grade at the end of the season . His stock has dropped due to his knee surgery ,he says he will be ready to start the season . With Champ and Porter and the other D Backs Minnefield can get healthy and work his way into the rotatation .
RD 5 # 137 TRADE- after EFX looks at what they have acquired and whats on the board they don't see anyone they think they have to have so they make a trade with the Jets again . with the # 137 th pick the Jets select Joe Adams WR. Arkansas . the Broncos receive the Jets 5th round #154 pick and round 6 pick#187 and round seven pick# 232 .
RD 5 # 154 Trade - Still no player that is a have too so they make a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles . Even with the line backers that they acquired in free agency Andy Reid still is not set at the position . With Tank Carder ,Audie Cole and Vontaze Burfict on the board the Eagles make the trade . with the 154th pick the Eagles select Vontaze Burfict they decide to roll the dice on this once first round talent . the Broncos receive picks round six # 194 and 200 and a seventh round pick in 2013 .
RD 6 # 187 Travis lewis outside line backer Oklahoma - Lewis will be insurance with the impending suspension of DJ Williams . Travis Lewis will be a good NFL linebacker and has been a fan favorite at Oklahoma he adds much needed depth .
RD 6 # 194 Nicolas Jean Baptiste Defensive Tackle Baylor - Baptiste is a big space eating D tackle with a very good bull rush that will plug the middle .
RD 6 # 200 Quinton Saulsberry Guard/Center Mississippi State - Saulsberry is a hard working center that also can play guard .He will add depth to the O Line .
RD 7 # 232 Olivier Vernon Defensive End University of Miami - Another D End to add depth and develop .
While these trades are unlikely they are an example of what I think they will do in the later rounds . I am sure there will be some who won't like this mock . However this is the way I see it as of today but could be different come draft day . Thanks for reading and I welcome your thoughts .

If you are a fan of science fiction films, you will absolutely love Looper. Looper is rated R and is out on September 28th. It is Directed by up and coming director Rian Johnson who previously directed The Brothers Bloom, Looper focuses its plot on time travel and features well known film star Bruce Willis in one of the lead roles. Production began on this film back in January of 2011, and it is slated to be released on September 28, 2012. The film is likely to make a splash for its intense plot which features criminal organizations, an innovative take on time travel and time traveling technology enough blood and danger to keep the most unexcitable fan on the edge of their seat. This film has earned honors already and has been chosen to be the opening film for this year's TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival), an honor that is not given away lightly.
The film starts out in 2047, in a gangland of the future with 25 year old 'professional' killer Joseph Simmons, who works as a 'Looper,' an agent that is tasked with hunting agents that are sent from the year 2077. However, Simmons is faced with quite a conundrum when he finds that the latest target he is tasked with killing is actually Simmons himself back from the future. When he allows this future version of himself to escape capture, his employers begin to pursue him, forcing him to chase his older self while struggling to avoid facing his own demise.
As this is a time travel film, we get to see lead character Joseph Simmons in two different points in his life. The older version of Joseph Simmons from the future at age 55 is played by Bruce Willis. The younger version of Joseph Simmons in the present at age 25 is played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Emily Blunt has been cast in the role of Sara, a strong Midwestern girl who knows her way around a shotgun and knows how to wield an axe.
This movie was both written and directed by director Rian Johnson. He worked with producer Ram Gergman who he also worked with on The Brothers Bloom in 2008. He hoped to begin production on Looper in the year 2009, but it did not come to pass until much later than anticipated. The first actor to be cast for the movie was Joseph Gordon-Levitt who was cast in May of 2010. Bruce Willis was the next to sign on, also in May of 2010. In October of 2010, Emily Blunt joined the cast. In January of 2011 filming began in Louisiana. In April, filming moved the Shanghai. The effects for the time-travel sequences are said to have been created by the legendary Shane Carruth.
If you are interested in the movie Looper, you will be glad to know that we will have all of the latest news about Looper, inside reports about the movie, Looper trailers, pictures from the movie Looper and videos about the film all right here on the blog for your enjoyment.

"We're very aware that some F-Zero fans would be horrified at this version getting the remaster treatment ahead of its predecessors"
I'm a huge F-Zero fan and GX is undoubtedly the best in the series and one of the best racers EVER MADE.
4 Wii U SKUs?
Are they all Sonic Boom?
Nintendo isn't alone in this strategy... Lest we forget DuckTales: Remastered.
I can pick up a Genesis cart for 1/3rd the price.
So I'll either do that or just wait until a sale shows up. $30 for a port of a retro shmup is a bit too much for me. I was hoping for a price in line with the SEGA 3D Classics line...
Compatible controllers and mapping would be nice info to include, too...
I guess less necessary now since Wii U offers VC button mapping but the old VC reviews never stated whether it had it or not. Meaning some games were almost unplayable...
Maybe I misheard, but I was pretty sure Itagaki said Devil's Third would be coming out this year?
Bayonetta 2 all day err day
EDIT: isn't Devil's Third supposed to come out this year too?
Graphics look rough but game looks fun.
I loved Bayonetta 1, so I am counting the days until this game releases. I am ripping through my backlog so I can just spend as much time as possible with the game.
Wow. That gap between now and Hyrule Warriors is HUGE.
I guess its gonna be a backlog summer...
@HugoSmits Yeah I have to disagree. The original Fifa 13 sold poorly because EA couldn't trick as many people into purchasing their garbage product (iirc it lacked most of the features of the PS3 and 360 versions even, I dont even know if it had online). And still, for a half-hearted port the game sold over 150,000 copies. Not a terrible ROI considering they put very little money into the game to start.
EA has been treating Wii U owners as second-tier customers and has been bombarding them with awful, overpriced ports (Fifa 13, Mass Effect 3, Madden) and then calling foul when no one is dumb enough to buy them. They launched ME3: Wii U alongside a lower priced ME Trilogy on competing platforms. Absolutely daft.
They'll release for consoles with lower install bases and even release for dead platforms but won't put it out on Wii U.
I don't understand the justification here. Maybe next year?
Playing on Wii U. It's great.
Wonder if Alphadia Genesis is any good and I wonder if it will be enhanced over the original.
is 1001 spikes on sale?? Supposed to be 15, no?
Looks fun, but I wish they hired an artist.
Nice! I might pick this up on Wii U. Always looking for more neat titles like this, especially gruelling hard ones!
Wish the Wii U version had a loyalty discount.. but I guess it's Nicalis' first Wii U eShop title!
Hi, Marine...
Wow. No sales for North America...
wait what
D&D:CoM is at a great price.
I hope more people buy it and go online! I need more people to play online with!
I'm disappointed... I wanted to see more characters from Awakening. Hopefully Ike's reveal doesn't mean characters like Chrom and Lucina won't be excluded...
Wii U:
Scram Kitty
Attack of the Friday Monsters
Starship Damrey
3d Galaxy Force II
My additions to the lists. My favorites so far that weren't mentioned.
This is good news. Hopefully another studio picks up the IP and develops a real 3D survival horror game.
No offense to Cthulhi and Hullbreach, I just think that their game would not be true to the IP.
All about scram kitty this week.
Still surprised that nintendolife gave the game the lowest score of all reviews for the game so far.
Can you select individual tracks to race outside of time trial now? That really bugged me in MK7.
@SecondServing That's a shame. I know many games with mixed reviews that are some of the best I have played.
Personally excited to but this come Thursday. It looks fun, has great style, and uses the gamepad in a unique way. Add in that its an exclusive experience and is inspired by some of my favorite games and I'm sold.
What about Canada?
I like my games short and sweet so I'll probably pick this up. Reminds me of 90s cartoons!
It was cancelled when Konami bought Hudson... along with all of Hudson's projects... Nothing to do with the earthquake...
Frankly, I would appreciate if Sega released some of their HD PSN/XBLA games on eShop. I'd love to play Guardian Heroes on Wii U.
Also, I think they should do a House of the Dead collection with 1-4 + Overkill Extended Cut. I'd buy that so fast it hurts.
Bio Rex is a bro
Looks gorgeous. I can't imagine how much better it looks in 3D!
I just want F-Zero GX HD... stop teasing, Nintendo...
I hope Nintendo makes their own equivalent. I'd love to see that. Real life smash bro trophies, anyone?
Dang, I was hoping Mighty Final Fight was for Wii U...
What does EA have to do with Nintendo?
Does Capcom have $80 million to spend?
Bayonetta 2.
Platinum's action games always wow me!
Im so angry about this! I was gonna pick it up but never got around to it. Now, without warning, it is gone!!
Also, the fact is that most of the people who own a Wii U are the same huge Nintendo fans that bought an early 3DS. This means that they are ambassadors.
This means they ALREADY HAVE most of the GBA games coming to VC.
Geez that top image shows just how awful the GBA VC looks... What's up with that gamma???
I wonder if the gamecube virtual console is still a thing that's gonna happen...
I'm still disappointed the games have such low gamma. Are they trying to emulate playing on a non-backlit display?
One of my favourite handheld systems, ever. I still play this guy to this day!
I love Puzzle Bobble Mini, Ganbare! Neo Poke-kun, and Match of the Millennium!

DARWIN, Australia (WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) -- An Australian man, who had sliced his lip open in an accident, chose to stitch the wound with a sewing needle and dental floss, rather than wait the 10 hours he was told it would take before he could receive medical treatment.Allan Dell had no medical background but knew to sterilize the needle before he began the procedure, the Daily Telegraph reported. "I grew up in the bush in country," he told the paper. "I'm also a chef, so I'm not too strange with threading meat." Dell, 26, cut his lip from the base of his nose down to his teeth after he said he was struck in the face with a guitar. The accident also left him with a cracked tooth.When he went to an emergency room at a hospital in Darwin in the middle of the morning, he was told that he would have to wait until the day shift doctor arrived before patch work could begin on his laceration. So, he decided dental floss was the best way to go. "I think Crocodile Dundee did it once," Dell told the paper. "It worked."

Hi Nubrella,
As you may know, CNBC is re-airing episodes of Shark Tank. We're currently airing seasons two and three, but season one will air most likely in the spring. I produce the Outside the Tank series for CNBC.com and I've profiled former guests as well as the Sharks. I was wondering if you'd be interested in being profiled for that series.
Please let me know if you have any questions –
With thanks,
Liza Hughes – Producer
Hi Alan,
I just wanted to check in with you regarding our Makers series. We shot our pilot this past weekend with the inventions that the network selected. The network had to make careful decisions because of how important the pilot was. However, I know the producers still think there's a place for Nubrella in a future episode. So I just wanted to let you know that we have not forgotten you and we'll be in touch when the time comes. Thanks again for sending everything over to us under our tight deadlines.
Best Regards,
Good Afternoon,
My name is Peter Richardson and I work for a UK TV production company called North One Television. We produce various shows for all the major channels including the BBC, Channel 4 and Channel 5; feel free to see what shows we've produced in the past by checking out our website here.
I'm currently working on an established prime-time gadget/ technology series for Channel 4 called Gadget Man. We're currently producing an episode surrounding the typical British vacation, which will include innovative gadgets useful in the great outdoors. We have recently been reading up on the Nubrella which we would love to include on the show.
I was hoping the opportunity to show off your product to a UK prime-time audience made up of millions would be appealing. The previous series has gone onto be shown in over 30 other countries extending the reach of the products and companies that were featured. Please feel free to watch an episode from last year by clicking here.
I wanted to extend this free exposure opportunity to you guys at Nubrella and would love to discuss this with you further.
Warm regards,
Peter Richardson
Peter Richardson | Researcher | Gadget Man |
Dear sir/madam,
I'm writing from The Travel Show (formerly Fast Track) that broadcasts globally on the BBC World News Channel. It will also be shown on BBC 2 in the UK from next week. The programme has lots of different travel features including a monthly gadget review section. Here is a link to the last instalment: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01s8qd2 I was hoping you would be able to send us a press sample of the nubrella that we can include in the segment.
Would that be possible? And do you have a UK distributor that could send us one? We're filming a week today, so it would be great if I could get a sample for then.
Many thanks,
Jo. Joanne Whalley | Producer

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Obviously, the book wasn't written with former Monty Python John Cleese in mind, but it's hard to imagine a better Screwtape. Cleese's voice provides the perfect vehicle for Lewis's dry, razor-edged wit. His uncanny comic timing and ability to milk each phrase for maximum effect betray an infectious enthusiasm for the story. It's clear that he's having a great time reading, and it's impossible not to laugh along with him. This inspired pairing of two of the 20th century's greatest wits makes for a meditation on the dark side of spiritual guidance that's as relevant and funny today as it was in Lewis's war-torn England. (Running time: 4 hours, 3 cassettes) --Andrew Neiland
First published in 1941, The Screwtape Letters, a perennial best seller, has earned a place in the library of classics. The truths contained in C. S. Lewis's treatise on human nature are as old as the world, but his witty observations continue to confront and challenge believers and nonbelievers alike.
The outcome of Screwtape's correspondence is not known. But judging from his final signoff -- "Your increasingly and ravenously affectionate uncle" -- his appetite for evil has not lessened.
