Two Bristol scientists receive Wolfson Research Merit Awards
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
l-r: Professor Jeremy Harvey; Professor Jon Keating
12 May 2014
Two Bristol academics are among the 28 new Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award holders.
Professor Jeremy Harvey in the School of Chemistry and Professor Jonathan Keating in the School of Mathematics have both received the award for their research projects.
Jointly funded by the Wolfson Foundation and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, the scheme aims to provide universities with additional support to enable them to attract science talent from overseas and retain respected UK scientists of outstanding achievement and potential.
Professor Harvey's project, 'Theoretical models of the kinetics of homogeneous catalysis', examines the use of one sort of molecule (the catalyst) to accelerate the conversion of other molecules into desired products. Both the chemical industry and nature make extensive use of catalysis; natural catalysts are biological molecules known as enzymes. Harvey's work uses theoretical methods, based on the quantum mechanical properties of the electrons that hold molecules together, to predict the pathways followed during catalysis, and the rate at which catalysed reactions take place, ie their kinetics. This helps understand the biological catalysts, and also helps to design new catalysts.
Professor Keating's project, 'Statistics of arithmetic functions and matrix integrals', is investigating a new way to tackle many simple but still unanswered questions about whole numbers (integers): for example, the distribution of the prime numbers, the number of divisors of different integers, and the numbers that are not divisible by the square of any smaller number. Keating's group recently discovered that one important class of questions can be re-expressed in a form that makes them amenable to attack using techniques first developed by mathematical physicists to analyse complex quantum mechanical systems, such as large atomic nuclei and electrons subject to random forces. Their goal is now to extend this connection to a much wider class of problems, and to test their belief that this approach will allow them to answer several long-standing questions.

I watched this YouTube video and have been reading a bit about these. Has anyone experienced this? I realize that this one was not in the USA, so I was curious if anyone has gotten to have this experience or talked to their doctor about it yet.

My OB does this!!!!! I had my first naturally but vaginal. Baby #2 is breech and hasn't budged. Knowing my concerns with not being able to bond right away and a mom afraid of meds- he offered this to me! Not all docs in the practice are on board so we are praying he can deliver her! Said they pull the drape down once the cut has been made to allow us the experience of being involved in her birth. As long as she is doing fine she comes directly to me for skin to skin while he finishes the surgery. They don't take get from me until I'm moved from the OR table. And then daddy gets to take her and get her weighed and cleaned up. Sounds wonderful and to me there shouldn't be a difference between how your baby is cared for following delivery!

Hi! My background is in architectural drafting/CAD, and I am being nudged into GIS at my firm. I have a lot of AutoCAD experience, so going though the Map3D tutorials was not a problem...but those tutorials don't answer some BASIC questions I have.
#1- When starting a new map from scratch, what should I set the units to? Should they stay at decimal? Engineering? Architectural? Any recommendations for changes to the Standard Settings before I start drawing?
#2- should I assign a Coordinate system immedately before drawing, or can I do it afterwards, and then "move" the geometry to the correct coordinates?
#3- When I draw, should everything be done in inches, as Civil Drafters do? Or should I be working in Feet, and real world sizes; this is what our County GIS people want when we submit drawings to them in the future.
#4- Where can I get some georeferenced photos of my region? I understand that if a coordinate system is set and if the photos are georeferenced that they should Automatically "snap" into place for easy tracing.
#5- Is there anyone out there using Map 3D in California?
set the coor system first along with any drawing layers you would use in each map you draw and save it as a template file so you con start a new drawing with all those items set as you like them
Units are relative to the CS you select. some are metric in meters; some are in feet indicated by the "F" in the Coord sys name CA83-IF is cal state plane in feet . I'm not sure what part of the state that is in.

- ESRB: Mature
How get the Great Drake Sword
Within the lower level of Blight city, you'll get this sword before fighting Quelaag. Head all the way to the left side of Blight city lower level till you see an enormous tree. there'll be a root wherever you'll go up into it. there'll even be giant leeches within the area therefore you may understand if you're there. Go into the tree and hit the wall to reveal a hidden path. Get the treasure so hit the wall once more. there'll be another hidden path. I was already pretty strong once I did this therefore the monsters during this area were easy for me, however if you're a lower level then take caution whereas exploring this space. I would recommend you only run faraway from any enemy till reaching your destination. when revealing the trail, go all the way down using caution because you'll slip and die at anytime. When you reach the bottom, you ought to be in "Ash Lake". move to the right and you may see a bonfire, move to the left and you may see a Hydra therefore watch out. Run straight all the way towards the end of Ash Lake and you may see the Everlasting dragon. be a part of his covenant and he can offer you the Dragon head and dragon's eye. To get the sword, simply go right behind him and attack his tail. he won't attack you at all. Cut it some times and it'll break, turning into the great Drake sword.

Here's the front of the house today, and a few years ago. We've done it all: windows, trees, paint, porch, bushes, shutters, light...
I wanted to go dark...once I settled on a window colour, the rest of the woodwork was done up to match. I hesitated over the door colour. It had a fresh coat of black for a heartbeat, before I decided to paint it out the same as the rest.
The brick porch was rebuilt and new limestone caps replaced the concrete caps. We still need to get the it power washed.
Originally, the house had louvered shutters. They were tossed out before we bought the place so I was free to try something new. I sketched these out and my contractor made them.
The peak was rebuilt, and the original detail was scrapped in favour of wide straight boards. I know the new clean lines will not please everyone, but I felt the original was dinky and oddball. I didn't want to be the one to destroy (change) something that has been around for 80 plus years, yet who's to say they were right? We are looking at faux tudor style here...and this embellishment was a bit much.
The dirty white aluminum fascia board was removed to reveal the original dental molding. An awesome surprise! We had it stripped and restored. Also, the portico was stripped and restored.
What do you think!??

Military Personnel:
The Navy Has Not Provided Adequate Justification For Its Decision to Invest in MCTFS
GAO-07-1139R: Published: Jul 25, 2007. Publicly Released: Jul 25, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3604
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In June 2006, the Navy completed a feasibility assessment of both the Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS)--the Marine Corps' integrated personnel and payroll system--and the Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System DIMHRS. Based on the results of this assessment, the Navy expressed a preference to deploy MCTFS instead of DIMHRS. In August 2006, the Defense Business Systems Management Committee (DBSMC) made a business decision to accept the Navy's plan to proceed with the development and implementation of MCTFS. However, the Department of Defense (DOD) had already committed to deploy DIMHRS to provide a joint, integrated, standardized military personnel and pay system across all military components. According to the department, as of September 2006, it had spent over $668 million on the program. The John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, Pub. L. No. 109-364, 324 (2006) directed the Secretary of the Navy to prepare a report about MCTFS, including (1) an analysis of alternatives to MCTFS, including a comparison between the costs of deploying and operating MCTFS within the Navy and the cost of including the Navy in DIMHRS; (2) a business case analysis of the costs and benefits to both the Navy and DOD of the alternatives to MCTFS considered in the first objective; and (3) an analysis of the compatibility of MCTFS with the department's business enterprise architecture. The Navy concluded in its report--which we received on April 25, 2007--that (1) either MCTFS or DIMHRS could provide basic personnel and pay capability for the Navy uniformed force at approximately equivalent cost; (2) the DIMHRS alternative has substantially higher risks on cost, schedule, and function because MCTFS is already operational; and (3) MCTFS is fully compatible and compliant with the department's business enterprise architecture. The Act directs the DBSMC to determine--not sooner than 120 days after April 25, 2007--whether the deployment of MCTFS by the Navy is in the best interest of DOD. The Act directed us to review the Navy's report and provide a written assessment to the congressional defense committees and the Chairman of the DBSMC within 90 days of our receipt of the Navy's report. Specifically, we determined whether the Navy in its congressionally mandated report has justified its decision to invest in MCTFS. As part of our review, we also determined whether the department's business enterprise architecture was sufficient to guide and constrain the acquisition of MCTFS.
In its report, the Navy has not adequately justified its decision to invest in MCTFS. Specifically, the analysis of alternatives and the business case analysis of both MCTFS and DIMHRS were unreliable, because the cost and benefit estimates used in these analyses were not sufficiently comprehensive, accurate, documented, or credible. The Navy's analysis shows that MCTFS is sufficiently compatible with DOD's evolving business enterprise architecture to allow the Navy to begin acquisition. However, we found that the architecture lacks sufficient content to be used effectively to guide and constrain the acquisition of MCTFS. DOD officials from the Navy, the Marine Corps, and the Business Transformation Agency provided oral comments on the facts presented in this report and we have incorporated these comments as appropriate.

New research could explain why it took around a billion years for animal species to flourish on Earth after oxygen levels in the atmosphere began to increase.
Animal life on Earth boomed around 800 million years ago at the end of the Proterozoic period, but scientists have long believed that there was sufficient oxygen in the atmosphere for this increase in animal diversity to occur much earlier. However, new findings published in the journal Science show that oxygen levels were only 0.1% of those we see ...October 30, 2014 / Posted by: Aaron Gronstal

Exomoons Could Be Abundant Sources of Habitability
Europa is one of the moons in our solar system that could host life. What about beyond the solar system? Credit: NASA/JPL/Ted Stryk
With about 4,000 planet candidates from the Kepler Space Telescope data to analyze so far, astronomers are busy trying to figure out questions about habitability. Look at our own solar system, however, and there's a big gap in the information we need. Most of the planets have moons, so surely at least some of what Kepler finds would have them as well. Tracking down these tiny worlds, however, is a challenge.

Astronomers searching the atmospheres of alien worlds for gases that might be produced by life can't rely on the detection of just one type, such as oxygen, ozone, or methane, because in some cases these gases can be produced non-biologically, according to extensive simulations by researchers in the NASA Astrobiology Institute's Virtual Planetary Laboratory.

Wide receiver last played for Dolphins Aaron Wilson
Former NFL Pro Bowl wide receiver Chad Johnson could be heading north of the border. As in Canada.
The Montreal Alouettes are scheduled to work out Johnson at a minicamp Tuesday in Vero Beach, Fla.
"We do expect to meet with Chad Johnson and work him out in Vero Beach, FL this week," Alouettes general manager Jim Popp said in a statement. "Talks did take place and have escalated over the last week."
Johnson wrote about the workout on his official Twitter account.
"Tuesday in Vero Beach I'll be there for there mini camp/on field work," Johnson wrote. "RT @RSnicks18: u gonna make it up to Montreal for training camp Chad?"
Johnson, 36, hasn't played in the NFL since 2012 when the Miami Dolphins cut him following his arrest for a domestic violence case involving his former wife. Johnson served seven days in jail after courtroom antics annoyed the presiding judge.
He has had no other off-field problems.
The former Cincinnati Bengals star has caught 766 passes for 11,059 yards and 67 touchdowns.
Now, Johnson is looking to revive his career in Canada.

Cardiovascular changes in renal failure.
ABSTRACT In patients with renal failure cardiovascular complications are an important clinical problem and cardiac death is the main cause of death in these patients. It is well documented that cardiac risk is increased by a factor of 20 in uremic patients compared with age- and sex-matched segments of the general population. This finding in patients with renal failure can be at least partially explained by the well-described structural and metabolic abnormalities of the myocardium. The present article focuses on the structural changes in the heart and the vasculature and their potential repercussions for cardiovascular function, in particular their contribution to the high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with renal failure.
Article: Relationship between renal function at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention and prognosis in ischemic heart disease patients.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: As hypertension and diabetes mellitus increase, the number of patients developing complications of cardiovascular disease (CVD) associated with conventional risk factors is increasing. In addition to these risk factors for CVD, chronic kidney disease (CKD) has also been reported to play an important role. We investigated the association of representative ischemic heart disease and CKD. Between July 1, 2000, and June 30, 2005, a total of 790 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for angina pectoris or myocardial infarction in our division of cardiovascular disease were reviewed. Serum markers at the implementation of PCI were compared in patients classified according to renal function. For prognosis, in-hospital mortality, 1-year survival rate, overall mortality, and CVD death were investigated. Changes in renal function were also monitored during the follow-up period. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Group (MDRD) formula. The mean estimated GFR (eGFR) at PCI implementation was 66.2 +/- 21.0 ml/min/1.73 m(2). Stage 2 CKD was shown in 51.5% of all the patients. During the overall follow-up period, 126 patients died. With the progression of CKD stage, all-cause, CVD, and in-hospital mortality increased, and the 1-year survival rate decreased. It was proved that a medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes, multiple vessel lesions, hypoalbuminemia, C-reactive protein (CRP), and estimated GFR were independent risk factors for all-cause death. In CVD death, in addition to the above risk factors, anemia and total cholesterol were also an independent risk factor. Renal function deteriorated significantly during the follow-up period. Patients with ischemic heart disease requiring PCI often develop renal dysfunction, which may considerably affect prognosis.Clinical and Experimental Nephrology 04/2007; 11(1):56-60. · 1.25 Impact Factor
Article: Induction of systemic inflammation and thickening of subepicardiac arteries in an animal model of uremia.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although renal dysfunction is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), there are few experimental studies investigating the cardiovascular consequences of this condition. To analyze the impact of the induction of renal dysfunction on biomarkers of cardiovascular risk and on the histology of subepicardial vessels. This experimental study involved thirty Wistar male rats, which were divided into two groups. One (chronic kidney disease - CKD group) underwent renal ablation, and the other (SHAM group) was submitted to kidney manipulation only. Both groups were followed up for eight weeks. During follow-up, serum levels of urea, phosphorus and TNF-α were measured. Heart tissue was processed for histological analysis. The CKD group had increased levels of urea and phosphorus, in comparison with the SHAM group. The levels of TNF-α were increased in the CKD group and undetectable in the SHAM group (p < 0.05). Thickness of the middle layer of the subepicardial vessels of the CKD group was significantly higher than that of the SHAM group (p = 0.011). Induction of renal dysfunction in rats increased the biomarkers of cardiovascular risk and led to a thickening of the subepicardial vessels when compared with normal controls.Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia 12/2011; 33(4):408-12.
Article: Erythropoietin receptor signaling mitigates renal dysfunction-associated heart failure by mechanisms unrelated to relief of anemia.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We examined the effect of asialoerythropoietin (asialoEPO), a nonerythrogenic derivative of erythropoietin (EPO), on renal dysfunction-associated heart failure. Although EPO is known to exert beneficial effects on cardiac function, the clinical benefits in patients with chronic kidney disease are controversial. It remains to be addressed whether previously reported outcomes were the result of relief of the anemia, adverse effects of EPO, or direct cardiovascular effects. Mice underwent 5/6 nephrectomy to cause renal dysfunction. Eight weeks later, when renal dysfunction was established, anemia and cardiac dysfunction and remodeling were apparent. Mice were then assigned to receive saline (control), recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) at 5,000 IU (714 pmol)/kg, or asialoEPO at 714 pmol/kg, twice/week for 4 weeks. Although only rhEPO relieved the nephrectomy-induced anemia, both rhEPO and asialoEPO significantly and similarly mitigated left ventricular dilation and dysfunction. The hearts of rhEPO- or asialoEPO-treated mice showed less hypertrophy, reflecting decreases in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and degenerative subcellular changes, as well as significant attenuation of fibrosis, leukocyte infiltration, and oxidative deoxyribonucleic acid damage. These phenotypes were accompanied by restored expression of GATA-4, sarcomeric proteins, and vascular endothelial growth factor and decreased inflammatory cytokines and lipid peroxidation. Finally, myocardial activation was observed of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase and signal transducer and activator of transcription pathways in the treated mice. EPO receptor signaling exerts direct cardioprotection in an animal model of renal dysfunction-associated heart failure, probably by mitigating degenerative, pro-fibrosis, inflammatory, and oxidative processes but not through relief of anemia.Journal of the American College of Cardiology 11/2010; 56(23):1949-58. · 14.09 Impact Factor

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iranian police say 20 people were wounded when relatives of a man convicted to death on murder charges threw a grenade in an attempt to stop his execution.
According to a Monday report on the police website, police.ir, the incident took place at the gates of a prison in the western town of Ilam.
In Iran, capital punishment is most often carried out by hanging, usually inside prisons but sometimes also in public.
The police arrested the attackers and the execution was carried out. The wounded included policemen and spectators who came to see the hanging.
Murder, rape, armed robbery and kidnapping, along with drug trafficking, are all punishable by death in Iran. International rights groups have criticized Iran for its growing pace of hangings.

Between my incoming Loot Crates and Amazon, I have all the first 12 figurines heading my way. A colossal amount of money, and I'm not ashamed.
I tried to take yesterday off for gaming but I got stuck with a massive, last-minute work project out of state. I did manage to get home before the stores closed and pick up Smash and I played it until 2AM. I'm a zombie today but it was entirely worth it. Oh, and I got a Marth amiibo and it looks great. Must've been a good lot or something.
Amen, Sakurai. A tiny Ridley would look stupid after seeing him so massive in Metroid games. I mean, Samus fit inside his mouth in Prime 3.
And while they scaled up characters like Olimar and Kirby, notice that each series' characters are relatively properly sized when compared to eachother (Kirby is relatively correctly sized when compared to Dedede and Metaknight). Watching Samus battle a tiny Ridley would look nothing short of silly. I wholeheartedly agree with Sakurai here. Ridley is supposed to be massive by definition.
I fell victim to this scam and signed up. Can't wait to get prizes in the mail.
I really wanted to buy them all on Amazon, but now I have to deal with GameStop...
In some ways, Nintendo is their own worst enemy. Their exclusive first-party games are what sells the console and so third-party titles seldom make a splash on their consoles. the third parties pull support and Nintendo is left to keep their console afloat with their own titles.
This guy is my hero. The characters and universes represented in Smash have been entertaining me for nearly 30 years, and Sakurai brings them all together in such a perfect way, with such attention to detail. Bless his heart and give him a long, paid vacation after this, Nintendo.
So much for buying them slowly over a period of time. Looks like I'll be buying them up fast. Hold on, wallet; we're in for a ride...
If the combo is $79.98, you don't save any money. Is this a typo?
I wound up buying all the figures for the first Disney Infinity, so I'm afraid to buy this one. However, I'm not a huge superhero fan, so I'd likely be buying it just for toybox mode and the new Disney figures. I think I'll have enough trouble collecting amiibo, as it is...
The 3DS version is officially obsolete.
@Captain_Gonru While I will agree that graphics alone don't make a game, they can definitely lend themselves to making a game an overall more enjoyable experience. Not every game needs to look like a AAA high-budget title and run at 60 frames in 1080p, but when a modern game looks like it's running on a PC from 1998 I tend to shy away from it.
Mario 3 may look dated at this point, but you're forgetting that it was quite a visual stunner when it was first released and it pushed the NES hardware to its limits. And while I realize that not every developer has the time and resources to make their games push the Wii U to its limits, games with visuals like these make the Wii U look bad.
It would be as if Nintendo released Mario 3D World running on Mario 64's graphical engine. Sure, it would still be fun, but the overall experience would be lacking and less compelling if it didn't look so good. In today's gaming market, where every platform is quite graphically capable, there's really no excuse for games that look this poor.
Yikes, it looks horrid in motion, and the developer's description and voice bored me to tears.
I ordered the Samus one to start with, but I guess this means I'll be adding Link to my Amazon cart, too. (sigh) The mass exodus of money from my wallet has begun...
@MrMario02 It was to keep the rosters the same. That's the one thing the two versions have in common. I don't think they're going to add characters to the Wii U version. Maybe (and this is a stretch) the Ice Climbers will be on the Wii U version because Sakurai said they had them working on Wii U at one point. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.
The real difference will likely be the modes. We're already seeing things like coin and trophy photo mode on Wii U, and there will likely be tournaments and stage builder, too. These things couldn't happen on 3DS because of the system limitations.
@MrMario02 It is a new experience, in that it's on a handheld. Don't get me wrong, I think they did a great job with the 3DS version, but by virtue of the system's limitations it is going to be a dumbed down version of Smash Bros. compared to the Wii U version. There's no way they could cram any more content into the 3DS version. It's an impossibility. Naturally, you're going to see far more content on the home console version. They did the best they could with the handheld version, but there's only so much they could do before they hit a wall.
@MrMario02 The 3DS simply can't handle all the added content. The system is pushed to the max as it is, unable to run anything in the background while playing. They're going to put more content into the Wii U version because of all the added power. And let's face it: Smash was meant to be played in front of a TV with friends, anyway. The 3DS version is a fun, simplified version of the game to play on the go, but the Wii U version is clearly the definitive one.
@IxC You serious? The Wii U stages make the 3DS ones look sad by comparison. The Mario Galaxy stage with its warped gravity, the insane Orbital Gate stage with all that action, the dynamic Skyloft, the clever Gamer stage from Game & Wario, the potential in that Great Cave Offensive Kirby stage, not to mention detailed, HD versions of Boxing Ring, Gaur Plain, Battlefield, Final Destination and Wily's Castle that make the 3DS ones look pathetic.
How does the 3DS have better stages? Most of them were revisited old stages from Melee and Brawl. There were no new stages for Metroid, Donkey Kong, Starfox, Pikmin, Yoshi or Sonic. So much recycled content.
8-player mode?
Glad the Temple is back. It'll be perfect for 8-player mode...
I think this might be referring to the rumored 8-player mode...
Did anyone anywhere actually enjoy coin battles?
I think this is the first glimpse at some of the Wii U version's exclusive features. It's going to make the 3DS version look like a lame demo by comparison.
@AlexSora89 My guess is that we haven't seen all the Wii U stages yet. And I'm pretty sure the Wii U version is going to have tons more content than the 3DS one, and that likely includes stages.
I'd be excited if I didn't already own every game on this list...
The only thing running through my mind watching that first as was how greasy those 3DSs must've gotten after they all touched that pizza. That's what I always keep my eating and gaming completely separate...
I hated this when it was called Flappy Bird and I still hate it now. Moving on...
I have the Club Nintendo demo but it's nice that my local friends can get it now and we can take multiplayer for a test drive. These next two weeks are going to be the slowest two weeks of my life...
Have we considered the possibility that they could be added as DLC once the new 3DS gets an international release? If that added processing power can run Xenoblade Chronicles, surely it could process the Ice Climbers in Smash...
@brutalpanda The portable version definitely has its merits and I'll be buying both, as well, but your average consumer who owns both consoles won't buy both versions, and this is Nintendo's way of psychologically tricking people into buying both. The Wii U version is going to blow the 3DS version away and Nintendo won't tell us exactly how or when until we have already purchased the 3DS version. It's evil genius, if you ask me.
@Punished_Boss They're tight-lipped about the Wii U version's release date and features for a reason. The Wii U version will likely have a stage builder and some more exciting modes (and something tells me an added character or two as a bonus, for some reason) and Nintendo wants impatient fans to rush out and buy the 3DS version while they wait. If we knew the release date for the Wii U version as well as its greater features many people would skip the 3DS version and hold out, but right now, for fear of a delay, people are going to get a quick Smash fix on 3DS and then double dip on the Wii U version when it releases. As annoying as it is, we won't hear a firm release date for Smash Wii U until after October 3rd.
The official Nintendo one is more eye-catching, but the purist in me likes how the fan made one is more true to the console's design. Why would the control pad be on the outside of the console? Come on, Nintendo.
Saw this coming months ago. Yet another reason the Wii U version is the definitive one. I'm viewing the 3DS version as a glorified demo to tide me over until I can play it on a TV with friends, the way Smash was supposed to be played.
The only thing that makes me think that it's still going to be released in 2014 is the fact that amiibo rides on Smash coming out. Nintendo can't afford for amiibo to miss the holiday shopping season.
@3MonthBeef True, but local play is an option on Wii U without requiring multiple systems and games. Multiplayer on 3DS is mega expensive and awkward online or off. And Sakurai even said that the 3DS version doesn't perform very well online. And as far as Wii U is concerned, it's tons more fun to get a group of people in a room to interact while playing rather than play online.
Been spending the past hour or so with the demo and I heartily agree with the preview. It works on a handheld, defying my expectations, at least. The Wii U version is certainly going to be the definitive one, though. Graphics aside, Smash is meant for multiplayer and the 3DS version is too wonky for multiple people to enjoy simultaneously, requiring extra systems and copies of the game.
Wait, Platinum last year or currently?
@SamirMalik And just so you know, Dark Samus is not Samus at all. If you've played and completed Metroid Prime, you would have seen that Dark Samus is Metroid prime itself after stealing the shell of her Phazon suit. There's no human body inside there. It's entirely Metroid. Far, far more interesting than Dark Pit, if you ask me.
@brutalpanda I'm sure Roy has an interesting story in the one major came he was featured in. But since the Fire Emblem saga has over a dozen games now, it becomes difficult to just choose a handful that represent the series. Roy would have been a poor choice, considering that the game that contains the bulk of his story only was released in one country. Sure, he had a very, very brief cameo in the end of a Fire Emblem game that saw an international release, but that certainly didn't make enough of an impact with international gamers to warrant an inclusion in Smash Bros, when there are so many other Fire Emblem characters from games released everywhere that people can identify with. Fan service and nostalgia are a huge part of Smash, and putting characters in it that only certain regions can identify with really limits that.
@xj0462 And you are absolutely entitled to your opinion. I'm not trying to stop you from wanting Waluigi in the game. I was just simply pointing out some of the reasons why he likely was not included. Simply put, he's not an important character in the grand scheme of things. That's all I was trying to say.
@SamirMalik Attitude? I simply stated my opinions and didn't say anything insulting. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. Not my intention.
After a review like that I just might have to pick this up. Problem is I've got eight billion download platformers to finish first...
@Benny3999 I honestly don't understand why anybody would want Waluigi in this game. He's a side character used in Mario spin off titles. He's never been featured in a major Mario platform or or even a Wario game. There are dozens of characters that should put in the game long before him.
@WindWakerLink Roy was a total waste of a character. His game never got a release outside Japan and therefore has no appeal to an international market. Plus, he's relatively meaningless to the Fire Emblem franchise as a whole, anyway. He was only put in Melee as an advertisement for an upcoming game in Japan.
@SamirMalik I'm completely aware there will be differences between the characters and their clothes, but it frankly bothers me that insignificant characters like these got a spot on the roster while more important ones like Dixie Kong or the Ice Climbers got left out.
@Punished_Boss I don't think they're expecting anyone to stay up past 9 PM. Remember, it's Nintendo of America doing this broadcast so they're going to optimize it for people who live in the United States and Canada.

The silly resumes
Posted November 21, 2014on:
I've been looking for a new job lately. no worries, it's cool. I've had some really good interviews, gone to some great networking events, and read about a bazillion websites on how to make your resume fricken' awesome. After looking through a bunch of sample resumes of different styles, I starting wondering what fictional characters' resumes might look like. What would they highlight as their accomplishments? How would they make their mundane jobs look awesome? How would they "brand" themselves? What kind of e-mail address would they have? How much information about themselves would they put on their resumes? Might I be competing against some of these people at my next interview?
I ended up making resumes for Paul Atreides, Miriam Black, and Locke Lamora. Much fun and silliness was had. Observe!

November Reading Plans
Posted November 1, 2014on:
My bookshelves are overfull and sagging. I've resorted to stacking books on top of the bookshelves, and against the wall in the bedroom. Here's one such group of stacks:
If you look closely, you can see there are stacks behind this stack. I've read maybe half of these books. My reward for getting through my reading plans* for November will be that I can start making progress on the unread books in this stack (highest priority is the Bear and the Watts).
As it's SciFi November, I'll be focusing on science fiction reviews and interviews this month, although we all know I'll sneak in some fantasy, and probably some other random stuff too. My November reading plans look like this:
Regeneration by Julie Czerneda and Hawk by Steven Brust (I'm reviewing Hawk for SFSignal)
Unseaming by Mike Allen (did you see his guest post?), Heretics of Dune (dust jacket was lost a long time ago) and Burning Paradise by Robert Charles Wilson
And on the kindle I've got an eArc of The Genome, the newest novel from Sergei Lukyanenko.
*for those of you who don't know me, "reading plans" usually go out the window as soon as I see something shiny. That Sergei Lukyanenko eARC is a perfect example of Shiny.
what are your plans for this month? do they get upended by something shiny as easily as mine do?
All Hallows Read!
Posted October 30, 2014on:
A few days ago I started reading Let The Right One In, by John Ajvide Lindqvist. I've seen the both the Swedish and American film versions, so I already know the "twist". But even so, this is a disturbingly creepy book!
Are you reading anything creepy this week?
Mike Allen is editor of the speculative poetry and short fiction magazine Mythic Delirium and the acclaimed Clockwork Phoenix anthology series, and author of The Black Fire Concerto and his newest short fiction collection Unseaming. All around super talented guy and lover of all things creepy and scary, Mike was at the top of my list when I was looking for someone to guest post about the joys of reading scary books at Halloween time. Luckily, he wasn't offended when I said "hey, you wanna write about creepy stuff?". That's how you KNOW this guy loves horror.

Building My Own Haunted House
by Mike Allen
At my house, every day is Halloween.
Little Red asked me to wax a bit about the pleasures of reading scary stories on All Hallow's Eve — something I realized I couldn't truly do, because I read scary stories all year around. And write them, too.
Anita, my wife, is often creating art in a similarly opened vein. My home office is full of skulls and plush monsters. (As well as piles of papers and books.) Halloween is simply when Anita makes the exterior decor of our house match the interior. We're well matched that way.
Digger, by Ursula Vernon
Posted October 16, 2014on:
Digger, Vol 1, by Ursula Vernon
published: this volume was published in 2012, but the webcomic has been going since 2005.
where I got it: purchased new
When I peruse the graphic novel section of my local comic shop, I'm not interested in 99% of what I see. I walk by, and very little of it catches my eye. No offense superheroes and dark noir, but you're just not my thing. Could be that local comic book owner guy is really into superhero stuff, and not so much into other stuff. Different strokes for different folks.
Lucky for me, I ran into a copy of Ursula Vernon's Digger Vol 1 at a Half Price Books store. Having no idea what the story was about, and not quite sure what the critter on the front cover was (She's a wombat, by the way), I bought the graphic novel because Ursula Vernon's name was on it.
A few quick items of business before I getting into the nitty gritty: It won the Hugo (and multiple other awards) for a reason, and I really gotta introduce local comic shop owner guy to this series. Graphic novels that don't look that interesting got you down? Digger is the cure.
First off, Digger isn't a what, Digger is a she. She's a wombat, and she does what wombats naturally do: She digs and burrows and explores. She's also intensely pragmatic and practical. When a pocket of bad air causes her to tunnel through someone's floor and into a space that is decidedly not home, she decided to explore. Because how else is she going to find her way home? Perhaps whoever she meets can help her find her way home. She quickly meets a Statue of Ganesh who can talk, a Hyena like creature whose name has been eaten, a shadowchild who doesn't know what he/she is, a helpful librarian, the Ganesh statue's overly enthusiastic guard, and a prophetic snail. The story almost has an Alice in Wonderland feeling, except this Alice is a practical, no-nonsense engineer Wombat.

"LinkedIn Shares Fall After Disappointing Revenue Outlook," published at 12:38 p.m. EDT, incorrectly suggested that the company said a decision would lead to fewer display ads in the first paragraph. Analysts say that this decision will lower the number of display ads the website shows. Also, the article incorrectly attributed a quote to the company's chief executive in the ninth paragraph and misstated in that quote a description of a sponsored-feed model. The quote was from Chief Financial Officer Steven Sordello and he said a sponsored feed is a "much more efficient and predictable model going forward."
--LinkedIn shares fall 13% Friday after disappointing revenue outlook
--Decline follows stock hitting all-time high Thursday
--Shares still pricey in comparison to other tech companies
(Adds closing prices and additional details throughout.)
By John Kell
LinkedIn Corp.'s (LNKD) surging share price cooled Friday as the professional social network projected slower revenue growth next quarter following a decision that analysts say will lower the number of display ads that the website shows.
The top-line guidance disappointed investors of the highly valued stock and sent LinkedIn shares down 13% Friday.
LinkedIn is considered the success story among the recent crop of Internet-related initial public offerings over the past couple years. The company's revenue is expected to nearly triple this year to $1.49 billion from two years ago as LinkedIn has benefited from its hybrid consumer-and-enterprise business model, which depends on attracting consumers but selling services mainly to businesses.
The company's rapid growth, especially in comparison to its Internet peers, has raised investor hopes and the valuation on its stock, which still trades at 122 times future earnings despite the selloff Friday. In comparison, Facebook Inc. (FB) trades at 50 times earnings, while Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Google Inc. (GOOG) are both below 20 times.
"LinkedIn shares are likely to trade down in the near term given high expectations," J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth said. "However, we do not think the fundamental story for LinkedIn has changed."
Shares of LinkedIn closed at $175.59, down $26.08, on Friday. The stock, which hit an all-time high of $202.91 Thursday, is still up 53% in 2013 and remains nearly four times its IPO price of $45 nearly two years ago.
The decline Friday comes after LinkedIn reported better-than-expected first-quarter revenue growth of 72%, thanks to higher membership rolls and premium subscriptions, but projected a roughly 50% increase in the second quarter, below analysts' expectations for an increase of about 60%.
LinkedIn executives said Thursday that its ad business may show "moderate growth" in the second quarter, as it faces a tough comparison with the year-ago period when it was able to sign "large, one-time deals."
In addition, that business also is in transition, as it places more emphasis on sponsored updates, which are essentially posts that brands pay to promote into users' news feeds. LinkedIn Chief Financial Officer Steven Sordello said a sponsored feed is a "much more efficient and predictable model going forward."
Wunderlich Securities analyst Blake Harper supported the "voluntary decision," even though it means that fewer display ads will hurt near-term growth in LinkedIn's marketing-solutions business, which was 23% of sales in the first quarter.
"Management's strategic decision to slow down its display ads business and invest into a slightly different type of marketing and publishing platform should prove rewarding over time, especially as display ads become less relevant with the shift to mobile devices," Mr. Harper said. Other analysts noted the success that Facebook has had with its sponsored content program.
Chief Executive Jeff Weiner, on LinkedIn's conference call, challenged the notion that the company's moves would result in fewer display ads, saying the sponsored feed "is actually going to be a really nice complement to our existing display capability."
Still, LinkedIn's pricey stock puts pressure on company management to get the transition right.
"We suggest waiting for Q2 results to gauge progress in the early stages of this business model transition," said Mark Zgutowicz, analyst at Northland Capital Markets. "We suspect [2013] will be the toughest test yet for management and shareholder confidence in the stock."

We're going to bookmark the cute clip from 2009 – it's getting attention this week thanks to a repost by The Pet Collective – because it's the perfect pick-me-up for a bad day.
There's just something so sweet about the way the pup tilts its head back and issues a high-pitched puppy call-out, and it's made even more heart-warming by the fact that the pup is lying on its back in its owner's lap, alongside a doll in an animal costume.
