Who'll Be Flying from Google's Private Airport Terminal?
It's happening. A Google airline terminal is happening.
Two months ago we hinted that Google was looking to drop some dough on some tarmac to call their very own. And, according to Airport World, that plan for a Google Terminal at San Jose International is moving full speed ahead after the San José City Council gave the green light for Signature Flight Support to sign a 50-year lease for land at the airport.
It's on that 29-acre piece of land that Signature (a fixed-base operator, or FBO) plans to put $82 million into the construction of 270,000 square feet of LEED Gold facilities (inclusive of the 17,000 square foot terminal) exclusively for "private jets belonging to Google chiefs and other Silicon Valley businesses." So, in other words, not your average travelers or even the highest tier frequent flyers will be welcome.

How UNICEF Plans to Get Your Spare Change Before You Step on a Plane
It's the end of the flight. The movie you're watching is interrupted by a video depicting children living in slums and fetching pails of dirty water. This is the UNICEF "Change for Good" charity campaign, and it means that in a moment, a flight attendant will walk down the airplane aisle asking for any spare change donations.
We make a point of always handing over our leftover foreign coins at the end of a trip, but the latest move by UNICEF aims to get your donations before you ever step onboard a flight.

Scheduled for Arrival: A Google Airport Terminal
We're all about the latest and greatest when it comes to airports. From new restaurants, lounges, and even yoga rooms, if it's taking place in the airport we want to know about it. That's why we were a little saddened to learn about one airport terminal in California that we probably won't be able to check out anytime soon. That's because we don't have loads of cash, and we don't have a corner office over at Google.
Apparently there's such an influx of private business jets in and out of San Jose International Airport that Google is on the cusp of building their own terminal.

United Rewards Their Employees With $100 Just In Time For The Holidays
Your flight attendants, pilots, and even the guy handing you your boarding pass are going to be a little bit friendlier this season if you're flying with United. It's not because they're getting into the holiday spirit—although that is certainly possibly. We're thinking that it just has to do with cold hard cash, as it looks like United employees are scoring a nice little Christmas bonus.
Sure it's not thousands of bucks, but it sounds like United is handing out $100 to each and every eligible employee just in time for the holidays. It's to recognize all the hard work and effort that they've put in during 2012, but especially thanks for achieving a pretty darn decent average arrivals and departures time. The best on-time performance actually came last month, so who knows if a better average in 2013 could bring even more cash.

Anybody Want to Buy a Long Island Airport? Bueller?
While it's true that traveling around the world is keeping us pretty content for now, at some point we may want to settle down and stay grounded. That's why we'd probably look into buying an airport, and there just happens to be a pretty decent one up for sale.
You and your friends won't need the Hampton Jitney as proud new owners of the airport over on Montauk out on Long Island. The airport features a 3,200-feet runway, so you probably won't be able to land your Boeing Business Jet here. It's also got a hangar and a small office, and it can all be yours for just $18 million. Now consider that it'll be worth nearly every cent once you the private planes start pouring in during the summer season.

A Million Dollars Cash is Not Carry-on Friendly
Mo money, mo problems. Sounds like a problem we all wish to have, if at least for a minute.
Even millionaires, billionaires, and trillionairs have cash problems and Christo Wiese is no exception. Back in 2009, South Africa's third wealthiest man ran into some issues with border officials in the UK when he tried to fly from the London to Luxemburg with 3 suitcases full of cash. We're talking full of cash to the tune of the equivalent to $1 million US dollars.

The Country That Put an Airport on Its Currency
Countries love to put dead people and big monuments on their currency; it's just a thing, Costa Rica's badass shark bills being an excellent exception. That said, we fully admit to flipping over bills in the hopes that something fresher, newer will be featured. Hong Kong (a "Special Administrative Region," not really a country) currently takes that prize, as we just today noticed that the rear of some of the 500 HKD bills ($64.45 USD) feature Chek Lap Kok/Hong Kong International Airport.
It only makes sense for Hong Kong to place HKIA so prominently; they built a whole island to house the freaking thing and the documentary on it"Extreme Engineering: Building Hong Kong's Airport"is a must-Netflix show. And don't get us started on the infamous aviation heritage of HK. Two words: Kai Tak.

Now is the Time to Get Rid of Your Canadian Pennies
Our friends to the North have decided to scrap the penny. Yes, Canada will no longer have a one cent piece as legal tender. The clock is ticking on the little maple leaf copper coin and its ability to buy anything when traveling in Canada, but we don't think it will majorly change how you travel.
The Canadian government has decided that it is far too costly to continue to produce the fractional monetary unit and will ceased minting this month. If you have a jar filled with 'loonies' and pennies, don't freakout as you have until the end of the year to spend them on Royal Canadian Mounted Police souvenirs and the like. Distribution to financial institutions will end in the fall when the decision makers will begin the end of circulation.

Dear MegaMillions Winners, Buy This Boeing
We didn't call out sick this morning, and that basically confirms one thing—we didn't win the MegaMillions lottery over the weekend. It might not have been our lucky day, but it was certainly a wonderful weekend for three lucky winners scattered across the country in spots like Maryland, Illinois, and Kansas. We haven't looked through the family tree yet to determine if we've got any long lost aunts or uncles, but we do have a suggestion for those looking to cash in some of their winnings—a private plane.
Boeing has just released some new information and pictures that show off a new version of the Boeing Business Jet. Our suggestion is to immediately place a down payment on this variation of a Boeing 737-700, and then work out all the financing and other details later. Just imagine cruising around—it has a range of around 5,600 nautical miles—with your family and friends. We're pretty sure you can customize the thing anyway you want, but after looking through some of the photos and renderings of one option—we'll just have what they're having.

Where Would You Travel with $640 Million Dollars?
It's a record breaker! The MegaMillions lottery potalready huge at $540 millionwas raised at noon today to total $640 Million Dollars. These are the final few hours to line up at some skanky convenience mart and pick your numbers as the winning digits get announced TONIGHT.
Megamillions is played in twelve states: California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Washington, and hopefuls who purchase a ticket stand a 1-in-176 million chance of winning the big payoff.
Now imagine for a moment that the winner is you and you opt for the lump sum payout. After taxes, that leaves you with around $300 million burning a hole in your bank vault. Where would you take your first blow-out trip? Would you hop around to locations of James Bond villain tropical headquarters or opt for a year of private jet sharing? How about both? How about taking us along?
Let your imagination run wild and tell us your super-millionaire travel dreams in the comments!

Some Reflections on Traveling With or Without Pocketfuls of Foreign Currency
It's pretty fair to say that the era of the hidden money pouch is over. Sure, there'll always be the grandparents on an 11-night bus tour who faithfully shove the beige pouches down their shirts, and the high schooler on a first trip to Europe whose mom raided the Eagle Creek travel products aisle at Target, butthank godtraveller's cheques are passé and ATMs are all over the place.
To speak of our own travels, the way we carry foreign cash has dramatically evolved. In the early 2000s, while traveling extensively around Europe, we would exchange our money in the US via snail mail with American Express. All of that would then travel with us over the ocean and, for each different city we visited, we'd remove from a main wallet only as much as we wanted to spend there. Most transactions were done in cash, with a credit card back-up for hotel rooms and big dinners. Only once did we have to visit Western Union for a top-up.

Finally! The British Airways Visa Signature Credit Card Goes Chip-and-Pin
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! Finally finally finally US credit card companies are getting wise to the need for cardholders to have EMV-enabled cards, which you may better recognize as the ones with the embedded chip on the left side.
We've been following the progress of this since earlier this year when both Wells Fargo and Chase began issuing limited amounts to their highest spending, heaviest traveling cardmembers. Now the technology has finally trickled down to the level of Chase's British Airways Visa Signature.
This card, thanks to generous past sign-up bonuses and the fact it has no foreign transaction fees, is now carried by many American frequent flyers who will no doubt benefit from being able to shop like the rest of Europewith the chip-and-pin instead of a swipe-and-sign. Like us, who've felt the sting of being turned down because a register was no longer equipped for our archaic VISA (example: Amsterdam Schiphol train station).

Finnish heavy metal sextet BATTLE BEAST have announced Unholy Savior as the name for their third studio album, which will be released in North America in early 2015.
"Music-wise, the songs have been expanded to a wider area as an effort to call out emotions close to those I myself had during the times of birth of these songs," states BATTLE BEAST guitarist & backing vocalist Anton Kabanen about the new album's musical offerings. "I thirst to go further as a human being and the music on this album represents a part of the ongoing spiritual journey – that's what I tend to I call it – which is my road onward."
"Like always, I wrote songs about the 'Berserk' series as well. The reason is that I can strongly relate to that, especially to certain characters and to their way of thinking and feeling," Anton adds.

Medal record
Jane Fauntz Manske (December 19, 1910 – May 30, 1989) was a national champion swimmer and diver, and a member of the United States Olympic teams in 1928 (swimming) and 1932 (springboard diving). She was the bronze medalist for springboard diving at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Fauntz was born in New Orleans. Unable to compete in high school swimming competitions in Chicago because of a ban on female interscholastic athletics in Illinois, Fauntz competed as a teenager for the Illinois Women's Athletic Club swimming and diving teams. In March 1928 she established world records for the 100-yard breaststroke (1:20.3) and 100-meter breaststroke (1:29.3) at a dual meet against a Canadian team.
At the AAU swimming indoor national championships in Chicago in 1929, Fauntz won two national titles within the space of one half hour, winning the one-meter springboard and 100 meter breaststroke titles.
An Olympian at the age of 17 in the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, Fauntz finished in 5th place in the 200-meter breaststroke. Her specialty, however, was diving. Describing Fauntz during the Olympic diving competition, author Paul Gallico wrote in the New York Daily News:
"..Her marvelous body flowed through the dives with the smoothness of running quicksilver."
That "marvelous body" became a source of mild controversy at the Los Angeles games, when a Hungarian diving judge, Dr. Leo Donath, ordered the diving competition halted until the American divers changed their suits; he had objected to the near-backless cut of the team-supplied swimsuit.
Fauntz captured the three-meter springboard bronze medal at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, finishing just 5 points behind gold medalist Georgia Coleman and a single point behind silver medalist Katherine Rawls, helping the United States team to a sweep of the event. Fauntz led the competition after the compulsory dives, but slipped to third after mistiming the entry on her penultimate optional dive. (Fauntz later said this dive was "the worst one I'd ever done. There went my world; I didn't even want to come up from the pool.")
Fauntz parlayed her Olympic success to a career in marketing, modeling, and professional aquatic exhibitions. She became one of the first female athletes to appear on the Wheaties cereal box; she was also one of many celebrities of the time recruited to endorse cigarettes (in her case, Camels) and beer (Falstaff). Jane also appeared as cover girl for Life and Ladies Home Journal. She worked as a model for Saks Fifth Avenue. As a professional diver, Fauntz appeared in exhibitions at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933, where she met future husband Edgar "Eggs" Manske, an All-American football star at Northwestern University; they married in 1936.
An artist by training (B.A., art education, University of Illinois) and vocation, Fauntz was a painter and sculptor, and taught high school art classes for 20 years in California. Her bronze bust of former University of California football coach Lynn "Pappy" Waldorf is on display at the university's Sports Hall of Fame.
Fauntz died in Los Angeles of leukemia on May 30, 1989.
Jane Fauntz Manske was inducted posthumously into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1991.

Businesses in UAE must be responsible
Customer complaints in this country all too often fall on deaf ears, as a couple of recent cases demonstrate. Companies operating in the UAE need to shape up, thinks Samuel Potter.
January 12, 2011 1:53 by Samuel Potter
Kipp has been known to utter the occasional gripe. Yes, it is true. Sometimes we gripe in the government's direction, sometimes in our fellow residents' directions, and the rest of the time in the direction of business.
Today is a business griping day. Companies operating in this country far too often fail to appreciate, place any value on, or even demonstrate much interest in their customers and consumers. This fact was highlighted last week by a couple of stories that reached Kipp's ears.
Amit Nayak, a Kipp reader, got in touch with us about some Hero Baby food purchased from Carrefour. Nayak claims that the item bought had fungus in it, and says when they went back to complain the manager said: "This is normal and has happened around six to eight times earlier." Obviously angered, Amit asked to see the manager in charge and has heard nothing since. Apparently on their advice Amit contacted the distributor, who said it was Carrefour's problem as they sold the goods. Nayak has receipts and photos to back up the story. But it isn't the really the dodgy food that's bothering Nayak, it's the "sheer indifference."
"Companies in Dubai have an attitude towards consumers which is not acceptable," Amit says be e-mail. "These same firms back home work under a totally different setup where they are held accountable for their actions and here its sheer indifference."
You'd think a company like Hero would handle the situation better, given its history. Early last year a batch of baby formula was recalled by the Ministry of Environment and Water in the country because of a Bacteria formulation.
Kipp is not about to get into the specifics of Amit's accusation. But the level of indifference encountered is all too common in the UAE when it comes to such complaints.

Surprising that these had trouble making this compaint! I have been buying Hero Baby for the last two years for my sons and last year, i had found a chunkier piece of Banana in the Hero Baby Banana which was otherwise, more blended. I had just informed spinneys management, given them the sample and 4 days later i got a call from Hero's office in spain that they recieved the sample. They sent a complete investigation report along with a apology note / gift hamper and assured made sure that such an incident would never happen again. Similarly, there have been a couple of instances where my family / friends and myself have had to complaint and overall our experience in the regieon has left us greatly impressed !! i think a lot of cosumers have, over time learnt to consistently abuse their rights !!

Cut the cleaned potatoes into pieces, add them to the prepared paprika sauce together with the lecso and add enough water to cover.
Salt and cook until tender.
In summer fresh tomato and green paprika are used instead of lecso.
Sausage or Vienna sausage can also be cooked in it.

Happiness Lesson for Today: Letting Go!
page 1 of 7
Happiness means learning how to let go
By Maureen Healy
It may be letting go of a relationship that didn't work, or career that isn't panning out. Sometimes we find ourselves hanging on for dear life and when the truth is that it is only in the miracle of letting-go that things can change. I speak from experience. I have done the normal human dance of hanging on to something or someone so tight that we miss other opportunities for real happiness.
But with time, I have learned how to genuinely move through life with more ease. I take lessons from all of these caterpillars around that have to let-go of their hairy bodies to become the beautiful butterflies they are destined to become. Yes, it's a little corny analogy but it's true for me – and true for you.

Put crispy, 'fried' chicken on the table from the oven rather than skillet
FOR last week's Recipe Swap I made real skillet-fried chicken. I hadn't cooked it in years, and it was really satisfying, but I also thought readers might be interested in recipes that deliver good crispy chicken with the ease of so-called "oven-frying." Wendy Pongoski sent in a handy family standby originally from a Pillsbury cookbook, and I also turned up a recipe that uses buttermilk and panko (Japanese bread crumbs).
Adele Stevens would love to reproduce the East India Company's navratan, a dish of vegetables, spices and paneer. And I'm on the lookout for lemon desserts, to celebrate the season with a quintessential spring flavour.
If you can help with a recipe request, have your own request, or a favourite recipe you'd like to share, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, fax it to 697-7412, or write to Recipe Swap, c/o Alison Gillmor, Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6. Please include your first and last name, address and telephone number.
Oven-fried chicken
250 ml (1 cup) instant mashed potato flakes
5 ml (1 tsp) salt
1 ml (1/4 tsp) pepper
1-2 ml (1/4-1/2 tsp) poultry seasoning
1 egg, slightly beaten
5 ml (1 tsp) lemon juice
1.3-1.5 kg (3-3 1/2 lb) frying chicken, cut up and skin removed, or equivalent amount of skinless chicken pieces
Preheat oven to 190C (375F). In plastic bag, combine potato flakes, salt, pepper and poultry seasoning, and shake to mix. In a shallow bowl, combine egg and lemon juice. Dip chicken in egg mixture and then add to dry mixture in plastic bag. Shake to coat. Place coated chicken on an ungreased 38x25x2.5 cm (15x10x1) baking pan and bake for 45-60 minutes or until chicken is tender and juices run clear.
Tester's notes: This easy recipe made crispy and tender chicken. Try to ensure chicken pieces are roughly the same size -- cut breasts in half, for example -- so that cooking times are close. If the breading isn't browning -- this is one of the drawbacks of the low-fat oven method -- you can drizzle the tops with a little oil.
Oven-fried chicken with buttermilk and panko
6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
250 ml (1 cup) buttermilk
5 ml (1 tsp) dried thyme
1 ml (1/4 tsp) cayenne
15 ml (1 tbsp) garlic powder
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) panko
15 ml (1 tbsp) all-purpose seasoning (with salt)
pepper, to taste
2 eggs, beaten
Marinate chicken in buttermilk, thyme, cayenne and garlic overnight or for at least 4 hours. Preheat oven to 205C (400F). Mix the panko with the seasoning and pepper and place on a plate. Beat eggs in a shallow bowl. Take chicken from buttermilk mixture, dip in egg mixture and then dredge in panko mixture. Place breaded chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is crispy and juices run clear.
Tester's notes: The panko crumbs really do give the chicken a nice, delicate crisp, so try not to substitute. (Panko can be found in most supermarkets.) Again, getting the breading to brown was an issue: The recipe suggests misting the chicken with non-stick spray, but I don't really like cooking spray, so I just drizzled with a little olive oil. You could also use melted butter. I found that foil did make cleanup easier, but the chicken was apt to stick to it.

Victory for Freedom of Conscience at UC Davis: University Removes Coercive Slide from Sexual Assault Training Materials
Last month, FIRE wrote to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) about a module in the university's online sexual assault training that required students to identify certain types of speech as "problematic" in order to complete the training and register for classes. The module contained a section on "Harmful Language," which informed students that phrases such as "I'd hit that!" or "I stalked him/her on Facebook" can "have a significant impact on normalizing violence." Students were then asked to complete an activity in which they matched those words and phrases with "why they are problematic." As FIRE wrote in our letter, this particular exercise amounted to a form of compelled speech in which students were required to affirm certain viewpoints in order to register for classes at the university.» Read More

Center for Constitutional Rights and Allies Write to Universities About Problems with Mandating 'Civility'
Colleges and universities too often attempt to censor or chill expression by calling for "civility," demanding that speakers exercise restraint in a way that is inconsistent with First Amendment principles. Earlier this month, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) joined Advancing Justice – Asian Law Caucus, Palestine Solidarity Legal Support, the National Lawyers Guild, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations in sending a letter (PDF) to over 140 universities, urging them against restricting speech based on the notion of "civility" or on misunderstandings about what constitutes "harassment."» Read More

Florida Atlantic University (Also) Demands Details of Students' Sex Lives
Back in September, I wrote on The Torch about a Title IX training program for students developed by CampusClarity and adopted by nearly 200 colleges and universities nationwide that included questions about the details of students' sex lives. Clemson University, where the program was mandatory, suspended its program soon after students and media outlets objected to this invasion of privacy. Now students at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) are speaking out against the same survey, which they must complete before registering for classes.» Read More

On Marquette Classroom Controversy, Rebuttal Ignores Facts
On his philosophy news site Daily Nous, University of South Carolina associate professor Justin Weinberg responded today to a blog post I wrote about hostility towards certain viewpoints at Marquette University. In his post, Weinberg argued that graduate student Cheryl Abbate was the "target of a political attack" by one of her students and that she was simply abiding by Marquette's harassment policy, not censoring student speech, when she told him certain viewpoints weren't welcome. Weinberg's reasoning is flawed on several levels.» Read More

But an article published in The Topeka Capital-Journal yesterday about a controversy at Kansas State University (KSU) makes clear that KSU and the Kansas Board of Regents have contributed to an atmosphere in which many community members feel unsafe speaking out against university decisions.» Read More

UC Davis Response to FIRE Letter Misses the Point on Freedom of Conscience
FIRE wrote to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) last month to express our concerns about a mandatory "Violence Intervention & Prevention" (VIP) online program which requires students to affirm that certain phrases—all of which are constitutionally protected expression—are "problematic." Students who do not complete the program cannot register for classes. As we explained in our letter, the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that state actors (such as, in this case, a public university like UC Davis) may not compel individuals to adopt certain viewpoints. Unfortunately, though, UC Davis counsel Michael Sweeney's response to FIRE indicates he does not understand this important principle.» Read More

Hurris & Gig - Ham 'n' Eggs
Artist: Hurris & Gig
Producer: Ante
Album: As Good As It Was
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 6 votes )
When I think about Salt Lake City, I think of Mormonism and the 2002 Winter Olympics. Underground hip-hop? Not so much. Rather than playing down the uniqueness of their background and repping Salt Lake as if it were Brooklyn or Atlanta, however, Booth Hurris & Gig have gone the exact opposite route with video single, Ham 'n' Eggs, exaggerating outsiders' perceptions of their hometown to hilarious extremes. Over the fluttering piano keys and chopped soul vocals of beatsmith Ante, Hurris kicks off his opening verse with a shout-out to "...all [his] LDSers," and Flamingo Films' visuals depict the crew staging an Oh Brother Where Art Thou-esque escape before rocking the stage at an old-timey barn dance. Feeling it? Then keep it locked for more creative jams leading up to the late-2012 release of Hurris & Gig's forthcoming full-length, As Good As It Was.

Cedarwood essential oil has an earthy, woodsy and slightly sweet scent.
Cedarwood essential oil is believed to calm and sooth nerves as well as be an astringent for acne prone skin. We love it when blended with Orange and Patchouli essential oil, but Bergamot, Clary Sage, and Ylang Ylang are also good choices. Use Cedarwood essential oil as an alternative to the more expensive and endangered Sandalwood essential oil. Cedarwood is a tree native to North America and has a rich history of traditional uses by Native Americans.
Cedarwood may irritate the skin, especially in high concentrations. It should be avoided during pregnancy.

Windows is not Genuine?
I've been using my laptop for about six months and just now, out of completely no where my windows is not genuine. I seriously don't know what just happened. I will admit, I have pirated Windows Ultimate, but never on this laptop. I don't pirate windows and stuff like that on this laptop. Why in the world, would it out of no where tell me it's not genuine when it is, and has been ever since I bought my laptop?
On this Laptop it's Home Premium and I didn't pirate it. Like I said before, if I would've pirated windows I would've pirated Ultimate, not Home Premium.

All together, Star Ocean: The First Departure is a great remake of a title that we've never had released here, and it's a welcome addition to anyone's PSP RPG library.
So, if it feels a bit dated, why the hell have I been staying up till 4 a.m. playing this game, then? Easy -- the ridiculously engrossing crafting minutiae sucks me in every time, whether it's cooking up a sumptuous feast, penning tomes of arcane knowledge, or composing orchestral opuses.
Star Ocean: First Departure for the PSP is a classic role-playing game favorite and seeing it with a new splash of fresh paint makes this a great version to own even if you managed to play the game so long ago. For the majority of RPG fans that didn't, however, playing this old-school classic is highly recommended.
Star Ocean: The First Departure is a great take on a first Star Ocean entry to the series.
As long as you don't mind the shallow real-time battles, Star Ocean: First Departure holds up amazingly well.
The gameplay and plot show their age, blending into the sea of modern role-playing conventions.
But when there are so many better, more interesting RPGs on the PSP, why bother with one that simply drains your system's battery life?

PeterKNov 4, 2008I wasn't expecting much out of this game when I put my reserve on it at GameStop. A two weeks after picking it up, I'm starting to play it and I am surprised at how much I like it. The gameplay is that of an old classic PS1 RPG, but it adds some nice features like voices for the characters, so you don't have to read everything. The story is very interesting although it is very linear. I can't wait until the next Star Ocean title for the PSP coming out in January, and the Star Ocean that's coming out for Xbox 360 in March!… Expand
LeonN.Jan 7, 2009I've been a big fan of Star Ocean since I played SO2 on PSX, and I've been waiting for this remake for years...and it didn't dissapoint me at all! This game is for me the best RPG on PSP released to date...I finished it in 3 days, cuz I couldn't stop playing it everywhere. The story is great and fun, the characters are charismatic and completely different from each other, the battles are quick, easy and entertaining, you can change some parts of the story according to your actions and choices, and the classic graphics are not bad at all! Definetely the best!… Expand
JaretW.Jan 14, 2009Very good game, a lot was put into this game that wasn't in the original, and makes the game feel polished. Surprisingly good voice acting, and anime style cut scenes really help the story telling along. In my opinion the best RPG on the PSP right now.… Collapse
RobbieJ.Oct 26, 2008Absolutely spectacular. I had never played the original game, so this was entirely new to me and I loved every bit of it. The voice work was above standard, the story was great, and the music was memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend this to PSP owners looking for a good RPG. The Production IG anime cutscenes really add a nice touch to the whole experience too.… Expand
Jul 16, 2012A well done remake of the first Star Ocean game. The battle system is great and it makes the game play fun. The story is pretty good and this game even has a multitude of optional characters making it fun to play several times. The only down side of the many optional characters is that it's hard to become emotionally attached to some of the characters. Overall Star Ocean: First Departure is a very enjoyable game.… Expand
J2DKApr 3, 2009The battle system and relatively large cast of characters make this game great or replays. I would rate this game higher if the bonus dungeon were longer and if it had more difficulty levels like other Star Ocean games. The GameDaily reviewer that gives this game a 60 because "turn-based battles are simplistic, repetitive, and random" didn't even bother playing the game. If he played just one battle, he would know that this is an action RPG with a fully active battle system and nowhere near a turn-based RPG.… Expand
Jul 19, 2012After playing the third and the fourth game, I decided to try the first two, since I've heard a lot of good from them, even though the third and the fourth game weren't really "that awesome", at least for me and, actually, made me hate this series due their HORRIBLE stories. So I started this one, knowing that nothing can make me feel more disappoint anymore, and I actually got interested in the game....for one hour; then the game really lost me, using one silly plot device and, basically, losing its chance to be original: if I play a game called star ocean, why there are so few of them"?! But ranting aside, the game at least has a solid story and at least can hook you in, so it's ok on that. One nice thing I liked was the chance to recruit more characters than the usuals, creating different playthroughs depending on which members you recruit and you don't...however almost all the characters are shallow and very boring; they hardly have any character development, even the main protagonists, and even though I don't hate these characters (unlike the third and the fourth game), I wish they were a lot more deep than they actually are. And about the fighting system, which is action based, I think it's pretty ok: you can learn various "skills" that will give you (usually) passive bonuses (faster movement, more attack, more spell power, etc), while others are essentially for creation, or for giving different specialties (customization, appraisal, training, etc). However the fighting itself is very bland: you can use up to two skills with L and R buttons, and if you can use magic you can also select it in the menu, but unless you're using a caster you won't even use a single skill: the 3-hit combo is far more effective and gives your enemy almost no recovery time, while your skills can be cancelled very easily and, sometimes, do less damage than the basic combo. Add also the fact that you need to be always on the right or on the left of your enemies (meaning you can't attack from up or down sides), and the fact that if you have 3-4 melee fighters you can't almost attack because they won't let you reach the enemy, and the fact that, at least for me, most of my battles were either ambushes or surrounded attacks, which will stun your group at the very start of the battle and, if you're unlucky, can kill you easily enough, the battle system in this game is nothing special but yet very poor; I can understand that this is a remake of the SNES version so I'll be honest saying that, for a remake, is very good, but as it is this game is just too poor in combat and story telling and, in my opinion, this game hasn't aged very well. Fans will surely overlook the flaws, so will many RPG fans and those who like old-school RPGs, but for those who are curious about this game, especially those who have played the most recent ones like the third and the fourth, just don't expect anything special: it's a good game, but nothing more. And nothing less.… Expand

Delinquency deluge?
Commercial real estate debts are coming due this year, putting building owners on edge
Commercial Real Estate Extra
Send this to a friend
Motivated sellers
From downtown hotels to suburban malls, office buildings to multifamily residences, many local building owners are feeling the pressure from a flood of five-year commercial real estate loans that reach their payment deadlines this year. And the lenders are more than ready to come collecting. Each property seems to have its own story, each mortgage its own individual set of circumstances. Here are five notable buildings either footsteps away from — or already immersed in — foreclosure proceedings.
SOURCE: Trepp LLC; CoStar Group Inc.; D.C., Maryland
and Virginia land records
Name: Lakeforest Mall
Location: 701 Russell Ave., Gaithersburg
Owner: Simon Property Group Inc.
Size: 402,625 square feet
Status: Nonperforming, beyond maturity
Loan balance: $117.5 million
Back story: Simon Property Group has retained Eastdil Secured LLC to market the mall for sale after the company fell behind on its mortgage payments. Simon elected not to seek a one-year extension on the mortgage when it matured in July 2011, and the property has been on the market since January.

(Page 5 of 7)
AREP borrowed $44.2 million to finance the acquisition, and the debt was placed with a special servicer last year in advance of a June 2012 maturity date. What's more, the hotel's deal with Hilton also expired in June.
Willow Director of Operations Jeff Harvey said he wants to reposition the hotel and get a new operator to replace Hilton, but with all that uncertainty he has decided to seek a one-year extension on the debt. His lenders required Willow to pay down an additional $7 million for the extra time.
The owners of the Mosby Tower at 10560 Main St. in Fairfax face a similar situation.
Affiliates of New York's Greyfields Investors LLC bought the 107,706-square-foot office building in 2003, along with a residential building, and refinanced Mosby Tower in 2005. The owners still owe about $11.7 million, and the debt was placed with a special servicer last year, according to Trepp, which reports that the owners are more than three months behind on their debt-service payments.
Mosby Tower is managed by Bethesda's Premier Cos., and President John Cutler said the building owners are working out a new financing plan and are optimistic about being able to retain ownership.
"We do expect to invest a substantial amount of additional money in the property, and we do expect to own it for a long time," said Cutler, who declined to discuss specifics of the current financial arrangements.
The trouble extends to national and local developers alike.
Publicly traded Vornado Realty Trust, based in New York, transferred its Skyline portfolio in Falls Church to a special servicer in February due to a significant drop in vacancies. Privately held The Peterson Cos,, based in Fairfax, lost its Gateway Commerce Center in Gainesville due to a sharp drop in property values.

Thalassemia Program
Children, adolescents, and adults with Cooley's anemia (beta thalassemia), alpha thalassemia and other thalassemia syndromes are cared for by the Thalassemia Program at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
For more than 30 years, the Division of Hematology has sustained a program of treatment and research in thalassemia syndromes. Our goal is to help improve the quality of life and increase the life span of children with these disorders.
The Thalassemia Program provides comprehensive treatment including regular red cell transfusions in our Day Hospital and chelation therapy as well as regular monitoring for complications of thalassemia, transfusions and chelation including laboratory tests, special magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies to assess iron loading in the heart and liver, bone density scans and other radiographic studies.
The Program is actively involved in both basic science (bench) and clinical research. Research is funded through the National Institutes of Health and other agencies. The Program has also participated in clinical trials of new chelators.
We are proud to have a Family Advisory Committee. Currently this council consists of Thalassemia Program staff, patients, and family members who work together collaboratively in order to implement change and optimize care.
