|Any potential for bouldering/ already established problems around this new area?
By The Phoenix
May 29, 2013
From Above: "As with so many PK routes, a length of static rope (60 ft) is often essential. Tread lightly and protect the trees, please."
Isn't this kinda contradictory? Use the Trees for anchors! Oh ya, please protect them... so don't use them.
And I doubt there is any bouldering actually... I heard this was the one area at the gunks with 0 boulders.
By Gunkiemike

"Protect the trees" means:
- anchor off of bolts if they're there or gear when that's feasible. There will be more bolts added atop popular routes
- anchor off oak trees whenever possible rather than pitch pines
- pad the trunk
- use a tensionless hitch
- do not rappel directly off trees. The walk down is never that long

Just climbed Dickie Barre this past weekend, nice relatively uncrowded climbing.
A friendly PSA reminder: the area is still relatively new, with potential for rockfall on routes without significant traffic yet. We climbed near the left side of the crag (just right of Fine Pine Line, I believe), and had a climber pull off a toaster-sized flake that looked otherwise unremarkable beforehand. Only luck and a quick reaction kept the belayer safe.

Klouie - By any chance was that rock just below the top of the cliff, a few feet right of the large stacked boulders that mark the top-out?
I marked a surprisingly loose rock there with a chalked X several weeks ago. I knew it would wash off, but yea, that was a potentially dangerous block. The good news is it's no longer there, huh?

Indy 500 qualifying: Carpenter fastest, battle of Americans for final Fast Nine positions
May 17, 2014, 6:33 PM EST
When all was said and done, the underdogs slayed the giants yet again when it came to those who made the Fast Nine shootout for Sunday's second round of qualifying for the 98th Indianapolis 500.
The breakdown of teams that made the Fast Nine shootout? Three Andretti Autosport entries, two Ed Carpenter Racing entries, two Team Penske entries, and a single entry from Schmidt Peterson Hamilton Motorsports and Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing.
Among the teams that didn't? Neither Chip Ganassi Racing (four cars, plus the fifth affiliated entry for Dreyer & Reinbold Kingdom Racing) nor KV Racing Technology (four cars) – the teams that have won the last two Indianapolis 500s – got anywhere near the Fast Nine.
Ed Carpenter was fastest after the first run and the defending Indianapolis 500 pole sitter has achieved the maximum number of possible points today, after a second run within the last hour and a half of running was the day's fastest at 230.661 mph.
But the drama came down to the final couple spots in the Fast Nine depending on whether teams opted to withdraw times and need to set a flier from Lane 1 (the express lane), or make another qualifying attempt from Lane 2 and leave their original time vacant.
The final 15 minutes saw SFHR's Josef Newgarden break in and ECR's Indianapolis-only second driver, JR Hildebrand, hold on, while 2012 Verizon IndyCar Series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay's Andretti team took the withdraw their time option and they were not able to break back into the Fast Nine.
Kurt Busch was ultimately 10th after feeling like he had given everything he could, although he needed to leave for Charlotte before making another attempt in the final couple hours.
Here's a full breakdown of the qualifying runs. Points will be awarded from 33 down to 1 depending on the positions from today; this also determines the pit positions for the Indianapolis 500, held May 25.
The actual run for the pole, with those Fast 9 participants, as well as the remaining spots 10-33, will be determined tomorrow. Teams have until 7 p.m. ET tonight to enter an extra car, and that appears unlikely.

Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile), the No. 1 mobile phone provider in the United States and the No. 1 smartphone provider worldwide1, recognized the top five students and their mobile application concepts developed during the 2012 Mobile Application Boot Camps.
(Left to Right) Ryan Bidan, Director of Product Marketing for Samsung Mobile and Tim Stevens, Editor In Chief of Engadget, announced the winners of the Samsung Mobile Application Boot Camps on Engadget Stage at CES. Third place and a $5,000 scholarship was awarded to Ofri Harlev, an eleventh grader, at Lowell High School in San Francisco, second place and a $10,000 scholarship was awarded to Sophia Li, an eleventh grader, at Lowell High School in San Francisco and the Grand Prize winner Joseph Romano, a tenth grader at Arlington High School in Arlington, MA, received a $20,000 scholarship from Samsung Mobile. (Photo: Business Wire)
Grand prize winner Joseph Romano, a tenth grader at Arlington High School in Arlington, MA, received a $20,000 scholarship for his Better4All volunteer application. Romano's Better4All mobile application is a crowd-sourced service which allows users within a specific region to report and respond to volunteer opportunities within three main categories: road hazards, off-road issues and volunteer positions. This call-to-action application encourages users to identify areas in their community that need emergency and philanthropic assistance.
"The goal for the Samsung Mobile Application Boot Camps is to inspire a new generation of engineers," said Dale Sohn, President of Samsung Telecommunications America. "The students that participated are learning a timely and relevant skill that has an opportunity to influence not only their lives, but the lives of others as well. It is encouraging to see the creativity these students have and the desire to empower change through technology."
Sophia Li, an eleventh grader at Lowell High School in San Francisco, received second place and a $10,000 scholarship for her SoundUP app. By allowing users to "piggyback" on multiple phone speakers, SoundUP delivers a synchronized, extended speaker system. SoundUP not only brings people together through the power of music, but also delivers on convenience, personalization and versatility.
The third place prize of a $5,000 scholarship was awarded to Ofri Harlev, an eleventh grader at Lowell High School in San Francisco. Harlev created the Karma Trader application to bring communities together by identifying and promoting citizens' unique skill sets, such as carpentry or health care.
Fourth & Fifth place winners, David Park, from Duluth, GA, and James Fong, from Alameda, CA, in addition to all winners, will receive Samsung Galaxy S® III smartphones. For more information or to view winner concept submissions, please visit www.scholastic.com/samsungbootcamp.
In July and August of 2012, Samsung Mobile collaborated with highly recognized engineering universities - University of California, Berkeley, University of Texas at Dallas, Georgia Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology to host four two-day mobile application boot camps for top performing high school students interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Samsung worked with Scholastic – the global children's publishing, education and media company – to develop the activities for the boot camps, as well as teacher resources that are available online for teachers interested in teaching mobile application development during the school year.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

By Fred Gonzalez
Miami native Emily Cabanas has been bartending for more than 10 years, the last four exclusively on Miami Beach. You may have seen her at Cameo nightclub, or perhaps at Aero Bar. She's now a staple at SushiSamba's Cosplay parties on Tuesday nights. "I am here as the party host," she said of bartending. "I make the ugly pretty. I make the uninteresting interesting and, basically, the dull exciting."
Her weekly routine consists of chores on Thursdays and lots of home cooking to get ready for the weekend when she is at her busiest. And when her work doesn't end until 5 a.m., she's usually in bed by 7 a.m. with her trusty slumber mask. "I myself am allergic to work, so this is the perfect job for me."
What's the best and worst part of bartending?
The best is my freedom. I really can do what I want. But that comes at a high cost as there are only so many years you can bartend before you have to grow up and get a real job. And that is probably the worst part, having to get out of bartending. It's kind of like the mob … once you're in you don't want to get out.
Anything go on behind the bar that we don't see?
Well, there's not really anything they don't see back there. Sometimes you'll try and adjust a boob or maybe pick a wedgie, and you can't really do it because behind the bar everybody sees everything. There's not really anything you can hide back there. You are basically on the spotlight the whole night.
How do you remember everyone's drink order, especially when the music is loud and you can hardly hear yourself think?
Tips help. But yes, the lip reading does help because it gets super, super loud and if you're wearing earplugs I need to see what you're saying because you can easily tell me Goose and Tonic and it could be Dewar's on the rocks that I understood. I am sure all the bartenders do it, but it's something that you kind of learn on your own.
You get home when the sun is coming up. How do you manage sleep?
I definitely sleep with a slumber mask. You're amped and it's hard to go to bed. Imagine you just came home from working all day long and now they're forcing you to go to sleep right after you got home. If you don't really make any money, and you're super tired, that's when you end up going out because you want to 86 the whole night and forget it didn't even happen.

I like it, compact, yet still functional, unlike the KW equivalent(Compact part, not the functional part).
Well, if it's not gonna have the scale of the wolverine, will it have the maneuverability? That's really the important aspect.
But will harvesters who have blue tiberium be able to drop it when they explode instead of just normal green?
Splendid. But seeing them stacked against each other like this, it makes you realize GDI really does have vehicular supremacy in C&C 95. That is, until the stealth tanks the Nod commander sent out reveal and flank the base that the GDI commander so foolishly removed all of the units from.
It's not working, I can see it.
Recently I was thinking about the good old days of TS and how it felt to play it. Somehow, I don't think a 3D game will ever be able to match the feel and drum up the right nostalgia, but whether you achieve that or not, you guys are still doing a hell of a job making something awesome.
This is possibly the only occasion you could lose for using it. And yes, one of the only times you can lose at a poll.
What is it? By the name I assume it's something akin to Worms.
Honestly, I look at them like 3 choices, no 'weakness', 'strength', or 'tactical' element.
But if we're gonna get into the metaphysics of it, a hurled rock still hurts, regardless of the presence of paper. For the record, I voted for the one that hurts to be hit with the most. There was no reason for my decision.
The final is definitely the best.
Unlike the older one you see everywhere else, the bulk seems like it'll match the damage output.
Needs to be a little more random, back in TS and FS, the tiberium wouldn't necessarily destroy every crystal in the field, one would explode, then set off another piece, those detonations would in turn damage another crystal set that would then explode, but in the end, some would still be left over, albeit, in a sorry state. Granted, Tiberium Fields typically had more Tiberium to begin with than in C&C3, and the crystal patches weren't as massive in TS.
I'd say use a smoother gradient, but A. it probably won't matter, and B. I don't know if Renegade would support it.
Get some of that Halloween makeup to make the skin around the 'crystal' look kinda radiation burned, or scarred, or at least mildly irritated. Other than that, Bad ***.
Create a shortcut to C&C 3, but add -ui to the command line to get the Control Center to open.
As for GDI, I wouldn't do them any differently, other than whatever minor tweaks you see fit.
The Scrin on the otherhand have gone from the swamping, light rush team to a larger much more formidable force. I was able to defeat a balanced medium GDI AI with just a couple Defilers(I think, the artillery?) after destroying the outpost they shared with a Balanced Scrin AI with just a Mothership (Not the Planet Killer). The defenses were primarily AA, including Storm Columns. The Scrin's quantity of massive units doesn't help this point very much. Perhaps making each Scrin unit more dependent on others would be better. Think of the pairing of the Juggernaut and Sniper Team, or Stormriders and the Ion Storm ability. I'm just saying if the full strength of some Scrin units depended on the abilities of others, it might help balance out a bit more.
Playing as Nod, it seems a little easy to be overwhelmed at first, but once Nod has a Tech Center, it's just a matter of getting the right Obelisk placement.
Left looks better than the right, I hope that's what you were going for.
Is that thing that appears to be a syringe spewing blob involving the Tlailaxu?
Looking fantastic.
Magnificent, my only wish; There was a larger version suiting 4 or even 6.
Better brush up on my Deutsch
Wait, let me get this straight, you have the ability to spawn base prefabs in game without relighting the scene through the map editor? Downright amazing.
As far as suggestions go, I suggest a sustained beam weapon as a defence turret. Think the laser pointer, but it does damage.
Don't argue with it, that's how it was made. They're just keeping the tradition.
The turret on the Grizzly looks a little bulbous to me, but I can't think of an easy way to fix it.
I was thinking more along the lines of afterburners.
Convenient AND trendy.
Can't wait to see the new, improved, mutated landscape in full.
I love it all, but the flame tanks look a little elongated, I can't really tell if it's just the scale comparison between them and the buildings that makes it look that way, though.
I'm sure TD redux's was just made to emulate the original. From what I've seen of later SAGE engine builds (C&C 3) it's able to use the TS method.
This mod makes me wish I could still run Generals, but I always get issues with starting it up after the first run.
Looks too long for an SMG

Robert Fisk: Syria's newspapers trumpet an army victory but the sound of shellfire tells the true story
Sniper attacks prove that this war is far from over, writes Robert Fisk in Damascus
All night and all day, the guns of Kassioun have been firing. At Dayara and Kfar Souseh and Qadam and Nahr Aisha, proof that the enemies of Bashar al-Assad have re-entered the suburbs of Damascus after the government's recapture of the capital last month.
The long boulevard out to Kfar Souseh, a district of new middle-class apartment buildings and old slums – some of them wooden 150-year-old Ottoman homes whose narrow alleyways are a playground for the rebels of Syria – was deserted yesterday. Only the fresh white-painted sandbags of the soldiers and militiamen controlling the highway prove that the battle has returned to Damascus.
The artillery on the mountain that towers above the city has been firing into Deraya – government soldiers have been padding the alleyways of Kfar Souseh, to little effect – but the armed fighters tormenting the army appear to have performed their usual tactic: they have fled to fight another day. The papers continue to trumpet the army's victories, but the shellfire that reverberates across the city tells a different story: that the war is not over, that the security the government promised has not been restored.
Since the Syrian air force's attacks have been largely confined to the north, France's warning that it might consider a partial no-fly zone over Syria cuts little ice in Damascus. The "last battle" for the capital, boasted by the opposition, was definitely won by the army in July but the bankrupt policy of storming the city – a sign of the Free Syrian Army's naivety – has been succeeded by the hit-and-run sniper attacks that have already taken hold in Aleppo. In such a scenario, tanks are useless, shellfire the sound of impotence.
In war, there's always a stage when the rhetoric fails to match the reality. In Aleppo, where the government claims to be winning, the battles continue. In Damascus, which the government believes it holds, the sniping continues the moment you reach the city limits. "I never thought I would see Syria turn so bad," a Syrian Christian friend told me. "We have had this kind of magical formula in Syria, to maintain a balance between all the minorities. To play up this balance is to blow up Syria."
This is not an exclusive point of view in the capital. We were passing the Derwishya Mosque – yes, home of the Whirling Dervishes – and turning right by a Syrian church, and the restaurants were packed with Christians and Muslims, prices ensuring a middle-class clientele but the customers proof that the sectarian conflict of the Syrian countryside has no more reached Damascus than it has Aleppo.
I fear that I sometimes spot these differences in embryo – a memory of the Balkan wars, perhaps, or just those random remarks from friends about the determination of Sunnis to destroy the Alawites if Assad should fall – but they have not emerged in the big cities yet. Tartous is regarded as the safest city in Syria, Idlib the least, along with Homs. These are the realities – not the West's warnings – that Syrians live with. In the café in which I lunched yesterday, a visiting Russian imam was espousing the benefits of Islam in a secular society to his government hosts – what else would he do? – while my friend tried to explain why Assad could not be overthrown.
"Three million Alawites would be slaughtered – along with the Christians and the other minorities, it would be a bloodbath," he said. I have heard this before, of course, along with the usual praise for Syria's system of education and healthcare.
A drive around the Damascus ring-road shows how the war touches the city. Two security ministries attacked with car bombs last month have been surrounded by barbed wire and armed men. Police stations in the capital are now acquiring those 14ft protective concrete walls so familiar in Baghdad.
The car bomb is a weapon of war, alongside the aerial fighter-bomber, the sniper and the T-72. How do you win?

The Daily Journal, Mike Voss, Associated Press
» View our political blog, with updates and analysis of the GOP presidential nomination process.
CHICAGO — Illinois voters went to the polls Tuesday with the rare chance to weigh in on a presidential nomination race that hadn't been decided, as well as congressional and legislative races that could shape state politics for years to come.
Despite unseasonably warm and sunny weather — or perhaps because of it — elections officials reported very light turnout in the first few hours after polls opened, Chicago Board of Election Commissioners spokesman Jim Allen said. Only minor problems were reported, including a power outage in Wheeling that forced some precincts to turn to paper ballots.
Republican voters will play an important role in the battle between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum for the GOP presidential nomination. A Romney loss here Tuesday would all but destroy his battered image as the party's inevitable nominee, while a Santorum loss would deepen doubts about whether he can win any but the most conservative states.
Romney largely ignored his Republican opponent, focusing instead on President Barack Obama as he traveled the state Monday. In Springfield, he said Obama's policies made the recession deeper than it had to be. At a speech in Chicago, the former Massachusetts governor accused Obama of an "assault on our economic freedom."
Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, presented his campaign as an issue of patriotism. He urged his supporters to take action, as the Founding Fathers and the soldiers of World War II did.
Making several downstate appearances, from Rockford to Ronald Reagan's hometown of Dixon, he also pleaded with supporters to head for the polls and take other people with them. It was an acknowledgment that a big turnout by anti-Romney conservatives was key to him winning in a state that has traditionally been friendlier to moderates.
"Step forward. This is the most important election of your lifetime," he said.
Thanks to the once-a-decade chore of drawing new boundaries for congressional and legislative districts, voters around the state have some other big decisions to make as well.
The Democratic majority at the state Capitol drew the new maps to make life difficult for Republicans. As a result, incumbent U.S. Reps. Donald Manzullo and Adam Kinzinger are battling for political survival in northwestern Illinois.
On the Democratic side, U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Chicago has been weakened by his links to felon and ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich, as well as his admission of an affair. With his new district now stretching into more rural territory, Jackson faces a challenge from Debbie Halvorson, a former member of Congress from Crete.
In the Legislature, at least four incumbent Republicans will be out after the primary. That's because eight lawmakers wound up facing each other under the new districts drawn by Democrats. The lawmakers at risk include the top Republican in DuPage County, a candidate for governor in 2010 and a member of the GOP's state central committee.
The primary also presents an awkward situation for Democrats.
State Rep. Derrick Smith of Chicago, who was recently hit with federal bribery charges, is on the ballot. His opponent is a former Republican official now claiming to be a Democrat. So party leaders find themselves choosing between backing a possible felon or someone they consider a member of the opposite party.
Also, Cook County Democrats will decide whether to stick with a recently appointed member of the Illinois Supreme Court or nominate someone else for a 10-year term on the bench.

Good ol' American customer service: It's Craptastic!
The Wrap by Ron Judd
Seattle Times staff columnist
The recent national kerfuffle over customer service, or lack thereof, by U.S. corporations — not to mention any names, such as COMCAST — is a blunt reminder of an indisputable fact: Corporate America has confused the art of talking about customer service with the practice of actually providing it.
To wit, a "customer-service" rep at an East Coast photo-equipment supplier made it clear to Mr. Wrap that he was really sorry, but ultimately prepared to do nothing to remedy that fact that a flawed gizmo sent in weeks before for repair had finally been returned to the customer — with no repairs whatsoever.
Par for the course. More telling was the way this giving soul signed off all his email messages about the subject: "Looking to be of service, Joey."
There you have it. Not actually providing customer service. But acknowledging that it's something to which one might aspire, somewhere down the road.
Baby steps, we suppose.
More wishful thinking:
Speaking of Customer Comes Last:A report by the National Transportation Safety Board, more than a year in the making, concludes that "multiple gaps in the system," including the state's unique self-dispensing oversized-load permit system — caused the accident that sank a portion of the Skagit River I-5 bridge last summer. Ya think?
Just Call Them the D'oh! Boys: The Washington State Department of Transportation says it will respond to the NTSB report with changes to its oversized-load permit system. Good, good. We can certainly see that it was in no way necessary to make those sorts of changes immediately.
Or to Cut to the Chase: Is Jorge "Precious Metals" Carrasco secretly running WSDOT?
Our Cup Runneth Under: Seattle lost about $6 million in productivity as workers whiled away time watching the World Cup instead of doing actual work, a New York finance firm estimates. Big whoop. The financial impact is sort of like Robinson Cano taking a weekend off from the Mariners.
Not Even We Can Make This Stuff Up: Former U-Dub boss Mark Emmert, currently El Presidente of the cartel known as the NCAA, saw his pay soar to $1.7 million last year as he trotted around the country explaining why college football players should continue to be paid nothing.
Um …: Further cementing its solid reputation as the Krazy Glue in the junk drawer of municipal government, the city of Seattle, via Mayor Ed Murray, proclaimed City Hall as "Kitty Hall" for a day. Seriously. Look it up.
Speaking of Shrimp: Does Gov. Jay Inslee's recent proposal to boost the official state estimate of how much seafood we all eat mean that we now have to eat more seafood, like, to get our tabs renewed?
Shell Games:U.S. Customs and Border protection inspectors at LAX intercepted a shipment of 67 live, giant African snails being smuggled from Africa. Inspectors reportedly then engaged in a heartfelt exchange with the only other living beings on the earth that move at the same pace as themselves.
And Finally, Over at Woodland Park: Another week goes by, your local zoo keeps elephants in chains and behind bars. Vote with your feet and just don't go there.

what does the exclamation point in a triangle above the speedometer mean?
2 Answers
Mercedes has usually used the exclamation point icon for the traction control system. It should explain this in your manual, though. I haven't driven the ML350 yet, but you could ask the folks on the Mercedes forums at http://www.mercedesforum.com/ for help. Good luck!

NHL Rumors: Lubomir Visnovsky Hopes to Void Deal to New York Islanders
Lubomir Visnovsky appeared to be the biggest steal of draft-day trades, but the latest NHL rumor floating around is that the veteran defenseman does not want to play for the New York Islanders. Visnovsky was acquired by the Islanders for a second-round pick, but filed a grievance to void the deal a month after it was completed. Apparently Lubomir Visnovsky believes his no-trade clause is still valid from his contract with the Edmonton Oilers. Lubomir Visnovsky hopes to force arbitration to find whether or not his no-trade clause from the original contract is still valid. In most cases of a trade, such clauses may become invalid.
Visnovsky's situation seems eerily similar to Evgeni Nabokov's reluctance to play for the Isles last year. The New York Islanders acquired Nabokov on waivers, blocking a deal that would have sent the veteran goaltender to the playoff-bound Detroit Red Wings. After eventually joining the Islanders, Nabokov posted incredible numbers before returning to New York for the upcoming season on a one-year deal. Visnovsky is in the final year of his contract with the Anaheim Ducks, but has a few options for wiggling out of the trade that sent him to New York.
Lubomir Visnovsky could simply win an eventual arbitration hearing that would entitle him to his no-trade clause. The circumstances are certainly unusual, as Visnovsky has waited a full month before pursuing his grievance, but if his clause is valid he could void the trade to the Islanders. Visnovsky could also attempt to gain a financial settlement for his ignored clause before simply staying with the Ducks. Lubomir Visnovsky has also expressed an interest in fielding offers from KHL teams and possibly playing in Russia rather than finishing his NHL contract with the New York Islanders. If Lubomir Visnovsky opts for the KHL, the New York Islanders will be out the second-round pick that landed them the veteran defenseman at what seemed like an incredible bargain.
Ultimately, Visnovsky could be a great fit for the Islanders. New York needs a puck-moving defenseman and Lubomir Visnovsky's veteran presence could be a positive influence on the young players the Islanders are developing. New York has an obvious void at defenseman if Visnovsky slips away, in addition to the loss of the second-round pick used to acquire him. It appears Visnovsky is pursuing both the KHL and an NHLPA grievance to avoid playing with the Islanders this year.

Reuters interviewed Ubisoft chief exec, Laurent Detoc, yesterday discussing the company's desire to overtake EA as the world's No. 1 game publisher. Their strategy? Take an early risk along with Nintendo on unproven motion-controls. Ubisoft has eight (confirmed) titles ready for Wii launch on November 19 in comparison to EA's two games.
"Our goal is not to sell to EA but to beat EA," said Detoc. He continues by saying that consumers get the hang of Nintendo's Wiimote "right away," and that the console is "unlikely not to succeed" because of the curiosity factor and the console's much lower price point of $250 which is more of an impulse buy for some.
Ubisoft is currently the fourth largest game publisher and is small in comparison to EA ($700M as compared to EA's $3B in most recent fiscal earnings). Assuming Wii takes the console industry by storm, who's to say EA won't sweep in later to exploit the opportunity?

Holocaust denier's invitation to concentration camp memorial nixed after media exposé
Christoph Hörstel..
(photo credit:Wikimedia Commons)
German journalist Christoph Hörstel, a zealous supporter of Iran's regime and Hezbollah and an alleged denier of the Holocaust, was invited to an event at the former Sachsenhausen concentration camp to commemorate the July 20, 1944, attempt to assassinate Hitler by German officers.German author Tilman Tarach reported on Friday about the slated event on the website of the Berlin-based Jungle World weekly, causing organizers of the Sachsenhausen memorial to cancel Hörstel's appearance the same day.The planned participation of Hörstel showed that Germany's remembrance culture had "gone to the dogs," Tarach said. Organizers turned victims into perpetrators with the "planned event of a Holocaust- denier or relativist," he wrote.According to telephone information from Sachsenhausen conveyed to Tarach, Hörstel's appearance was planned as a side event and was not intended as participation in the July 20 commemoration.According to the Sachsenhausen website, the event was a tour covering those imprisoned after the assassination attempt.A number of the participants in the 1944 attack on Hitler were incarcerated at Sachsenhausen.More than 200,000 people were imprisoned in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp between 1936 and 1945, which is located just north of Berlin, in Brandenburg state.Hörstel was slated to accompany author Astrid Ley during the event on an educational tour. It is unclear whether Ley knew of Hörstel's background.Tarach recounted an example of Hörstel's playing down, or possibly denying, the Holocaust, on his Facebook page.When someone asked about revising the Holocaust, Hörstel replied, "All in good time."Hörstel has said that Germany "has in no way responsibility for the security of Israel or for its right to exist." He has spoken at the annual Al-Quds Day March in Berlin, which attracts more than 1,000 supporters of Hezbollah and Iran, and calls for the elimination of Israel.He caused embarrassment to Chancellor Angela Merkel's office when a senior German official invited him to a meeting at the Chancellery on January 29, with four Natorei Karta extremists. Hörstel (who is not Jewish) wrote an article about the meeting with Merkel's government in the socialist daily Neues Deutschland titled, "We Jews should not establish a state." Merkel's office said the invitation was a mistake as the senior official did not know the background of Natorei Karta. Neues Deutschland later deleted Hörstel's article from its website.German-Jewish commentator and satirical polemicist Henryk M. Broder sarcastically wrote on The Axis of Good website that Germany's remembrance culture is functioning "super." He recalled a comment from the late writer Eike Geisel who said that Germany's remembrance culture represents "the highest form of forget ting."Sachsenhausen's invitation to Hörstel together with his appearance at the Chancellery and Ley's alleged ignorance of Hörstel's writings and activities are proof positive that Geisel was right, Broder said."The memory of the crimes of the Nazis in the meantime serves to prepare as propaganda for the next final solution of the Jews in the Middle East," Broder wrote in connection with the Sachsenhausen controversy.The row is a reminder of other recent controversies.The Dachau concentration camp memorial faced criticism in February from Bloomberg columnist Jeffery Goldberg as he noted that the memorial's bookstore sells biographies of Philip Roth and Woody Allen, labeling it "ridiculousness."Israeli-born author Tuvia Tenenbom called for the dismissal of Dr. Volkhard Knigge, the head of the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial, after alleging that Knigge told him that Jews should have settled in Uganda instead of establishing the State of Israel. Daniel Gaede, an educator at Buchenwald, faced criticism from Tenenbom for his participation in anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian activities."This man [Gaede] spends his free time demonstrating against Israel and in support of Gaza's Palestinians," Tenenbom wrote.Knigge wrote to The Jerusalem Post at the time that "Mr. Tenenbom reproduces the conversations he held with me and the head of the memorial education department in distorted form. I never at any time said that Jews should have been settled in Uganda."

Fed could do more to help economy, Kocherlakota says

Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Narayana Kocherlakota on Tuesday said the central bank's monetary policies may be too tight and that the economic recovery might need more stimulus.
Kocherlakota, a formerly hawkish member of the Federal Open Market Committee that sets the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, pointed to a measure of inflation that pegged it at 1.5 percent in the third quarter, below the Fed's target of 2 percent. He also cited forecasts that put inflation below that target level for the next year or two (his full remarks are here).
"Given how high unemployment is expected to remain over the next few years, these inflation forecasts suggest that monetary policy is, if anything, too tight, not too easy," said Kocherlakota, who said in September that he wants to keep interest rates low until unemployment falls below 5.5 percent.
He said he strongly disagreed with observers who have said the Fed's monetary policies have been too accommodative. He agreed that the Fed's efforts to push down interest rates are "historically unprecedented," but said they're necessary to encourage maximum employment and price stability after the worst economic shock since the Great Depression.
"Over the past five years, Americans have lost jobs and a great deal of wealth. Relative to 2007, people remain uncertain about future employment and income. Businesses, too, are less certain about future demand for their goods. These changes and uncertainties make firms and households less willing to spend, and so push down on both employment and prices," he said.
Kocherlakota did not, however, say what additional actions the Federal Reserve could take, according to The Wall Street Journal.
He also reminded the University of Minnesota-Duluth audience that the Fed's top priorities — price stability and maximum employment — are aligned with Main Street's interests.
"Promoting maximum employment means that the Fed is charged with doing what it can to ensure that Americans who want to work can do so. Promoting price stability means that the Federal Reserve is charged with keeping inflation close to a pre-specified target. Price stability ensures that, when people write contracts in terms of dollars, like student loans or annuities, they can have certainty about what those dollars will be able to buy in the future," he said.
