London withdraws bid to organize 2012 World Championship
Chess events organising body Chess Promotions Limited today withdrew their bid to organize the World Chess Championship in 2012. After lengthy negotiations with the World Chess Federation (FIDE), a deadline was set on Saturday 29th January 2011 for a proposal to the organisation. FIDE didn't respond. "The value of the match diminished by the day," said organizer Malcolm Pein.
The chess world learned of the disappointing news from the following press release.
Re: FIDE World Chess Championship London 2012
Chess Promotions Ltd has been in discussions with FIDE since February 2010 regarding the staging of the WCC in London. A € 50,000 deposit was paid to FIDE to secure an option on the WCC 2012 match as negotiations commenced and finance was sought.
Having secured the necessary funds, on July 21st 2010, CPL sent FIDE a formal offer and a detailed commercial contract to stage the next WCC match in London with financial terms similar to the 2010 WCC match at Sofia.
Unfortunately agreement could not be reached in the autumn. Following more discussions in London in January, CPL asked FIDE to accept the offer by Saturday 29th January 2011. No such acceptance was forthcoming. Therefore, with regret, CPL has withdrawn its offer in time for the next Executive Board meeting which starts today in Turkey in order to give the EB clarity and the opportunity to consider alternatives. The timeline to stage a WCC match before the Olympic Games in May 2012 is now too short.
CPL will continue to stage top class events in London. Dates for the 3rd London Chess Classic will be announced shortly. We have registered our interest with FIDE in staging events such as the World Rapid Championship and World Blitz Championship in London and will continue to work on bringing commercial sponsorship to chess in order to benefit our associated charity Chess in Schools and Communities.
Malcolm Pein
CEO Chess Promotions Ltd.
We couldn't reach a FIDE representative as the FIDE office in Athens was already closed at the time of writing. We did speak to Malcolm Pein on the phone, who was obviously disappointed. "It was a good offer, but apparently not good enough."
Two years ago negotiations failed between FIDE and UEP. The company that organized the 2008 World Championship Match between Anand and Kramnik successfully, withdrew their bid to organize the Candidates event in 2010 (now 2011, scheduled for May in Kazan, Russia) and the World Championship Match in 2011 (now 2012).
Back then, according to UEP, the reason was "due to different agendas relating to organisational sovereignty and commercial rights". For one thing, FIDE had been unhappy about the visibility of the FIDE logo during the Anand-Kramnik match.
Malcolm Pein couldn't elaborate much about why the current negotiations also failed. "There's not much to add. Generally there are two ways such negotiations can fail. It's either the money, or something in the contract. I can tell you that we completely agree with FIDE about their logo, and we promised them to fulfil their wishes in that respect."
The reason why Chess Promotions Limited withdrew their bid today is a matter of time trouble. The Summer Olympic Games are scheduled to take place in London from 27 July to 12 August 2012, which leaves the organizers of a Chess World Championship match about 15 months.
"Honestly speaking, to organize an event like this properly, you need at least 18 months," says Pein. "15 months is nothing. We had a beautiful venue in mind, but it was running out in that period. The value of the match diminished by the day: the less time you have, the less well you can do it. It's really sad, because the deal was on the table since July 21st."
Pein, who is an International Master, runs the Chess & Bridge store on Baker Street in London, has an online chess shop and supports the popular website The Week in Chess. In December 2009 he also became a chess organizer.
Then, the first and very successful London Chess Classic was held, which saw its second edition in December last year. Pein never kept it a secret that these tournaments were partly meant as a preparation for the 2012 World Championship: "At the beginning I said: let's first show them that we can do a big tournament."
The withdrawal of the bid by Chess Promotions Ltd. has no consequence for the Classic. Pein adds that he keeps his ambitions: "We're planning a third edition of the tournament. Besides, we're still interested in doing a World Championship. Perhaps in rapid, or blitz, who knows. Maybe eventually we'll do a match anyway."
Update February 4, 14:35: don't miss Malcolm Pein's comment below in which he clarifies the situation a bit more: "I had a note from the man himself [Kirsan Ilyumzhinov - CV] just before the deadline but it wasn't his signature on the contract, so that was it, offer expired. (...) Judging from the horrified reaction, they were not expecting a withdrawal but some people mean what they say. I gave them a deadline and they didn't meet it."

Dear Internet,
Chessbase had already contacted the World Champion in transit at Europe to India and here is what he had to say:
"London has been a probable venue for the World Championships since 2009 and the sponsors had shown keen interest in staging the event. I have not been involved in the negotiations so I can't comment on what has transpired. But FIDE is having its presidential board meeting and at the end we hope we will have some clarity on the issue. The World Championships in 2012 would be one of the most closely contested matches, personally for me it would be a very big challenge."
What a class act! That is why he is my "People's World Champion". As I said before, in spite of my respect for whoever qualifies for the 2012 World Chess Championship, WORLD CHAMPION ANAND WILL RETAIN HIS CROWN IN STYLE. You can put this in 12-inch bold print.
Anand's humility will bring his greatest-ever chess talent in full-force in a World Championship, and this is not 1995!
And yes. FIDE will scramble to make London 2012 happen because they would prove Kasparov and Magnus 100% right if they don't. London will accept it as it will be an all-time financial bonanza. One of the greatest World Chess Championships ever, because of the quality of the challenger whoever is selected (think Aronian or Kramnik!).
Just my sincere opinion.

Why do you call yourself world class if you are just a master? Perhaps you can learn about humility from your idol.

Hi Dude,
Are you upset with Anand or with me for your perceiving me to be an Anand's fan?
I would ignore you but the fact that more of the chessvibes readers who I consider well informed and intelligent have agreed with you saddens me as it shows that their focus is on the messenger rather than the message. So, let me clarify this.
I not only have learned humility from my own shortcomings and failures in life, but will continue to keep learning from Anand's greatness and humility also. Anand neither needs my support nor am I his spokesperson.
Why do you refer a Chess Master to be "only" and why can't a chess master be world class? If you want to know, I am not even an official chess master (if you intended to mean it to be a International Master or a International Grandmaster) not have I played chess in public for many many years. I actually do well against strong chess engines if it counts for anything.
This "Azerbajani Chess Master" was a moniker that I picked from someone who was commenting on Amercian political issues in an American national online magazine, starting the comment with "Dear Internet". I found that to be very funny and thought I would use it to maintain a cloak of anonymity and have people just focus on my message. It naturally had nothing to do with arrogance or humility on my part.
How does who I really am matter when I am commenting as one of chessvibes readers and a chess fan? Will it matter more if I tell you that I have a Phd in Physics from one of the most prestigious universities in the US and hence of the world? I am not even from Azerbaijan.
So please take it easy and comment on my subject matter. Regarding my Chess Master skills, I can assure you that Anand and I had a memorable game in an important match that he often referred to when we played as children. I am not going to reveal more of those very precious compliments that I would hold dear to my heart for the rest of my life and it is not for even unintentional bragging in a public forum like this.
If I had focused on chess rather than academics would I have become, by your definition, "World Class" chess Grandmaster? The possibility was there, I would presume. Certainly my GRE scores, my official IQ test scores are more than the Grandmaster required elo of 2500 (after conversion).
Also, my chess idol growing up was Anatoly Karpov, whose style was similar to mine and so, I expect my fellow Chessvibes readers to have greater sense than agreeing with and flagging up such juvenile comments of people like you.
I am going to keep using my moniker so please get used to my "lack of humility" (I am of course, saying this tongue-in- cheek).

Dear Chessvibes,
I do not know what the origin of chessvibes is. I thought it was Dutch, but Peter Doggers who seems an important player(pun intended!), sounds English to me, and I am further confused by my memory of their support for Dalianov for the European Chess Federation Presidency (so is chessvibes East European?)
I know I can Google it and find it easily, but I haven't at this time of writing this email.
Point is, I WANT TO SAY HOW MUCH I RESPECT CHESSVIBES FOR LETTING ME EXERCISE MY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND SPEECH (just as it says above the comment section, "Speak your mind" and not censoring anything. 100% of what I have said have been published, even immediately, sometimes after legitimate time needed for moderation.
I like free speech and that is what I used to like Amercia and Canada and they still have that TO SOME EXTENT ;-) It is nice to see this what I see to be a W.European chess web site continuing to give more such freedom and due respect for the chess fans to express their thoughts and opinions, whether chessvibes agrees with them or not, as long as the message is not offensive or illegal. Thanks Chessvibes.
I cannot say the same thing about other sites, including my other loved and respected chess site chessbase, where 100% of what I had written hasn't appeared or acknowledged. You seem to need to be some sort of celebrity (like Dr. Nunn, who I admire greatly) or some Dr. XYZ, MD from Kansas or something to be worthy of consideration. Same issue with American websites including huffington post. That aside, I still like the work they do.
Once again, thanks chessvibes.

If Carlsen would not withdraw, London would not withdraw too.
Maybe Dubai? Anyone remembers Linares-Dubai rumours?

That was before the economic crisis also affected Dubai. In the same region, the Doha FIDE Grand Prix was also cancelled/moved to another location.

we should expect nothing but disgust from FIDE.

Carlsen saw this coming? I'd rather say that Carlsen's inexplicable disparticipation claimed it's first commercial pray. The number 1 player and the most marketable player in the world not participation is a huge incentive-killer for potential sponsors as the cycle suffers a loss in credibility.

I really think you're overestimating FIDE. I seriously doubt that they care about people's opinions of them, especially Kasparov's - seeing as how he tried to take Kirsan's seat.
However, surely this collapse will be hurtful to their 20%? That they might be more concerned about!

How many time does FIDE have to cause failures before the top federations realize they must walk away and form a new organization? SERIOUSLY.
P.S. - Perhaps Carlsen was psychic after all...

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Will London allow FIDE to have a second shot, or was CPL biding its time waiting for the option to expire because it realized the WCC was a terrible investment? My guess is that it will be played in a Russian town I've never heard of before, and that Kirsan will work out the details regarding finances at the last second.
I love the discussion of the logo in the letter though- very funny.

I propose the following:
World Championship Quarterfinal
8 players: Anand, Carlsen, Aronian, Kramnik, Karjakin, Ivanchuk, Topalov, Nakamura.
These players will play a double round-robin, in similar fashion to San Luis 2005 or 2007.
The top 4 players will progress to the next stage. If there is a tie for the 4th position, then a playoff will be done over the next two days, with 2 classical games, then if necessary, 2 rapid games, and then blitz games until a player gains a 2 point lead.
World Championship Semi-Final
This will occur two months after the Quarter-Final.
There will be two matches between the top finisher in the Quarter-Final and the fourth place-getter in the Q-F, and the 2nd place-getter and 3rd-place getter. Both of these matches will be 12 games long. If there is a tie, then 4 rapid games will be played, and if still undecided, blitz games will be played until a player gains a 2 point lead. This avoids any silly armageddon playoffs.
World Championship Final
This will occur six months after the Semi-Final.
The winners of the two matches will play a 16 game match, just like the good old Kasparov-Kramnik match. If the scores are even after game 16, then 4 rapid games will be played, then if necessary, blitz games will be played until a player gains a 2 point lead.

Chess Promotions Ltd. has set the standard for world class organization with their London Chess Classic. Their public outreach during that event was outstanding. The Championship predictably gets more attention from the general public (as opposed to devoted chess fans) than any other event (although it likely garners far less attention than it used to, thanks to FIDE's apparent efforts to diminish the title). It would do chess a lot of good if all those folks got to see an event with CPL's characteristically classy and accessible style. Indeed, it would no doubt give the impression that FIDE, which can use all the PR help it can get, is not totally dysfunctional. But alas, FIDE seems to prefer Outer Siberia for its flagship events. One of these days, if only by accident, FIDE will do one single thing properly. That will be a banner day.

I don't see why the London Classics should be considered better organized then the Tata tournament, the Tal memorial, or several other tournaments. If there is a difference in outreach it is only in Great Brittain, I'm afraid. As for the coverage (video, commentary, and so on) it was good but nothing new.
- Log in to post comments
The "video, commentary, and so on" obviously was part of the outreach, it plainly extended far beyond Great Britain, and it exceeded that of the other tournaments you mentioned by a safe margin.
- Log in to post comments
seriously, you don't see how the london classic was better than tata? did you watch it? from tata we got some videos of the players going over their games a day later- in london, we had live video coverage with multiple personalities and GM's giving fantastic analysis- not to mention filling the downtime with tons of chess ideas and basic traps and hilarious anecdotes. Watching the coverage of the London Classic was so good it actually made me a little sad because it showed me how good chess could be if it were western and if people with deep pockets cared.
As it is, I'm lucky to follow the moves live on a diagram over at chessbomb.
I would pay a premium for a fantastic site with great coverage. There is money in chess, it's just up to the west to wrest it away from the current power structure.

I found Tata better then London because at least I could see the live games wich in my few is the main thing following chess.
All those high tech video's and other heavy programs overloaded there servers often so following live coveredge was a crime...although..from abroad that is.

@LMedemblik: I followed the live video coverage of London Chess Classic from Japan. It was impeccable. The issue you had was most probably at your end rather than theirs.
As far as I'm concerned it was by far the best live relay of a chess tournament I had ever seen.
I'd say that's what frightened FIDE actually. The organizers in London were just too good. FIDE must have thought keeping control of the WC title would be way easier with a weak organizer in a small town. FIDE is not interested in either chess, the players or the fans. They just want to keep what they have.

I also enjoyed the tournament at Wijk aan Zee - TATA Steel more than the London Chess Classic.
If the LCC is to become #1 it will have to:
1. increase the number of players or, the number of rounds played--
double round robin vs single round robin
2. trash the football scoring system.
3. use classic time controls

I produced the live commentary in London. There was absolutely no connection between the live video commentary and the live games transmission. They were on separate network connections.
The amount of bandwidth used to produce the video stream was relatively modest, and the number of viewers of either the video or the live games had no impact on the other service.
Downstream bandwidth (i.e. to the viewer at home) was the responsibility of Livestream.com -- the video host. An individual user's experience may vary based on a number of factors, but close to 100,000 viewers tuned in from 169 countries.
I don't know the details of why the live games didn't work at times, but there were improvements made early in the tournament in response to viewer demand and feedback, so I presume the situation was better as the event progressed.

I agree with you, the livegames in London were almost never working properly. I'm almost certain the problem wasn't at my end, as I usually do not have any trouble watching live chess games during any tournament.
- Log in to post comments
Thats correct, I had the same experience.
Mr.Macauley is so nice to explain some things but the fact remains that even with improvements like extra links the connection to live games remained bad.
My "live experience" was that when you got to the live games link say half an hour before the start of the games, following them was no problem. However get back in DURING play was impossible for me.
Wether the hosting was done by LCC or another company does not take away the responsability to cover the live games correctly.
It is quit normal these days to receive 100.000 or more requests on a live server.
All in all must be noted that its all free and I certainly believe everybody is doing his very best to present these chess events the best way possible!

I think " Amari" was talking about the new standard of "organization". Apparently that is just video coverage now?
In my opinion organization is about a lot more.
As for the cameras- several tournaments in the past have had more live webcams next to their regular "board broadcasts" (f.e. Tal, NH, and Amber tournaments).
Even the live commentary was not new.
So yes, I really don't see why the London Classics, as good as they are, would have been setting new standards in organisation. And I really really doubt there was that much more outreach.
- Log in to post comments
p.s. London classics is of course a a much smaller affair than the Tata tournament (f.e.). The latter accomodates and pays 34 Grandmasters and consists of 3 tournaments at the same time on the same location- 5 times the number of Grandmasters in the London classic. It even manages to draw more visitors to Wijk aan Zee than the Classics draw at London. How is that about outreach and organisation. And there are a lot of other great tournaments. So...yes, I was really serious..
On another note, what would you guys prefer. An extra top class player in the tournament or 2 commentators on your video screen ?
- Log in to post comments
In that case I can safely assume that you did not look at the live coverage of the NH tournament 2 years back, that you didn't see the webcams on the Tal memorial and that you haven't seen the live commentary on the tournament in Spain ( I believe it was Bilbao).
As for "outreach", of course you can't back that up. I dare say a number of chess tournaments get a lot more visitors.
- Log in to post comments
As I wrote before, it's a bit odd and unfair to compare London and Tata. Live video coverage has some added value, but if the downside of it are access problems for the entire webpage, that's a big tradeoff - even if only some people in some countries (how many people followed the event in Japan?) or using some browsers had such problems.
Regarding live commentary: London had live commentary in English, obviously well-suited for everyone following Chessvibes. Tal Memorial and Bilbao had commentary in Russian and Spanish, respectively - also transmitted via the Internet, useless for me but thousands to millions(?) of chess fans could follow it. Tata had live commentary in Dutch - not transmitted via the Internet, either because the global audience is too small or because they wanted to offer something extra to people visiting in person. If you visit: entry was free and the venue(s) are big enough that, to my knowledge, noone was ever refused admittance (even though it could get crowded, particularly on weekends).
Now if anyone suggests that Tata live commentary should have been in English ... it is still a Dutch event in the Netherlands. As far as GMs are concerned: one of the days I visited they had Timman and Sokolov, guess they are second to hardly anyone at the other events.

Around the time of the last FIDE elections last year parallel to the Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, Malcolm Pein was cited on TWIC for some harsh, personal comments on Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. I don't remember the exact wording, but besides saying that he found Kirsan utterly unfit as president of FIDE on the background of his track record , he indirectly accused him of being responsible for politically motivated murders in his home country. He would never even contemplate to shake hands with such a man.
It is clear then that now it's simply payback time. I think Malcolm Pein and the London organizers could have done everything in the world to get the World Championship in 2012, the answer would always have been: No World Championship for you, guys. It's simply the punishment for insulting the emperor, saying out aloud, what everyone else can see, namely that as credibility and personal integrity goes, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov is as good as naked in the eyes of a normally informed and objective observer of the world of chess.
This is a real shame and it shows that all the talk of FIDE about promoting chess and attracting sponsors to the best of all lovers of the game are just hollow words: With FIDE as it stands, there is always an agenda that is more important than this, personal agendas, petty considerations and what have you.
I visited the London Chess Classic for three days in December and it was simply the best chess event I have ever attended: Superb venue, superb atmosphere, superb commentators, packed audience, a real chess festival. I'm really glad to hear this tournament continues and I wish Malcolm Pein and the London organizers all the best in future. And by the way, next time you intend to deal with Kirsan's FIDE, remember the words of Brecht: He who wants to have breakfast with the devil will need a very long spoon...

Just wanted to thank everyone for the kind words about the London Chess Classic. As ever on a message board there is a lot of uninformed speculation even if some of it is plausible.
Kristian Pade Frederiksen's remarks about the reasons we didn't reach agreement with FIDE are based on reasonable assumptions and some hard facts, I have certainly said some harsh things about K I but Kristian Pade's conclusion is wrong. I had a note from the man himself just before the deadline but it wasn't his signature on the contract, so that was it, offer expired. They were still keen to do the match in London but the time for talking and negotiating was over. Whatever they think about I have written, the chunky sanctioning fee and the opportunity to be running this event in the shadow of the Olympics whose recognition they desperately crave, was more than enough incentive for them.
Judging from the horrified reaction, they were not expecting a withdrawal but some people mean what they say. I gave them a deadline and they didn't meet it.

The truth is everyone was looking to a Carlsen challenge as we have seen Topalov and Kramnik allready. So coming from the UK, I can see that with the withdrawal of Carlsen the whole cycle has less commercial value.
It is Carlsens idea that the World Champion should have to compete every time rather than waiting for the winner of the Candidates cycle-i disagree with this.
The best method is 1 Candidates round robin tournament of the top 9 players by rating and a world title match 12 months later of 16 games.

FIDE is a disaster
I like the idea that "The best method is 1 Candidates round robin tournament of the top 9 players by rating and a world title match 12 months later of 16 games."
Anyhow anand is so polite he will accept any setup as long as he does not have to qualify for the final
Anyhow to bring in the money and excitement to chess:
I think London should simply host a 16 game match between Anand and Carlsen in 2013 for a "Champ versus the Kid" fight and that New York should host a similar match betwenn Naka and Carlsen for the "Battle of the West" )
If only Bobby was stil alive.....

These images, which were acquired using the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) operated by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, show a section of the northern part of Hesperia Planum. The region is littered with numerous craters of every size, almost all of which have been heavily eroded over time. This leads to the conclusion that this highland region largely consists of one of the oldest geological formations on the planet.
Hesperia Planum is an extensive highland region near the equator on Mars, with a diameter of more than 1500 kilometres. The name Hesperia originates from the term for Occident in antiquity. Because the numerous processes that have occurred in this region and have changed the landscape are typical of the Martian 'Middle Ages', this period has been called the Hesperian Epoch, after Hesperia Planum. The Hesperian Epoch, which extends from 3.7 to 3.4 billion years ago, permanently changed the whole of Mars. These geological changes are represented to some extent in the images shown here.
To the south of the section of Hesperia Planum shown here, a small dendritic system of valleys called the Tagus Valles reaches its end (see topographic context map, image 5). The (lower) course of the valleys is not that easy to see in the images, as various geological processes have changed the surface and the course of the valleys. In places, meandering valleys can still be recognised in the distinctive, furrowed interior at the bottom (east) and right (north) of the colour-coded topographical map (image 6). The Tagus Valles are named after the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula – the Tajo, as it is known in Spain, or the Tejo in Portugal.
Crater depressions levelled out by river sediments
Many craters with a very smooth surface are visible in the central and lower part of images 1, 4 and 6, – to the north and northeast of Tagus Valles. It is possible that these craters were filled with sediments transported and deposited there by water that once flowed through these valleys.
In the lower right quarter of images 1, 4 and 6, a group of craters can be seen that are all connected with one another and have also been filled. At the centre of these three overlapping craters, a smaller crater is visible, with a diameter of around 6.5 kilometres and a very much more sharply defined rim. This was formed later than the flatter craters and the sediments deposited in them. The crater is surrounded by a prominent ejecta blanket, which is elevated above the plain with a distinctive, rampart-like edge. The shape of the ejecta blanket suggests that, at the time the crater was formed by the impact of a small asteroid, there were wet sediments in the target area.
Numerous traces of erosion
Further proof of the intermittent presence of water is provided by the dark-coloured crater to the south (upper left section of images 1, 4 and 6). The crater is around 34 kilometres in diameter. Numerous large mesas and yardangs (wind alleys) are evident in the interior of the crater; these formed when the crater was previously partially filled with sediment.
There are many indications that the crater was inundated several times at different periods in its history. Sediments were deposited in the crater during such events. In order for the unusually chaotic looking landscape in the interior of the crater that we see in the images today to have arisen, some of this sediment must have been eroded away again. One possible explanation for how the sediments inside the crater could have been removed is release processes occurring beneath the surface, which led to the formation of cavities where material collapsed. In the upper right corner of the crater floor, the remains of a narrow valley that once existed there can be seen.
Another interesting feature is the dark-coloured deposits covering part of both the interior and exterior of the crater. The deposits might have been formed from fine volcanic ash deposited over a wide area. Such ash deposits may potentially have originated from the Elysium volcanic province, located to the northeast of the region shown here, or from the adjacent, somewhat smaller volcano Tyrrhena Patera to the southeast.
Image processing and the HRSC experiment on the Mars Express mission
The images were acquired by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on 15 January 2013, during Mars Express orbit 11504. The image resolution is about 22 metres per pixel. The images show a section at 4 degrees south and 114 degrees east.
The colour plan view (image 1) was acquired using the nadir channel, which is directed vertically down onto the surface of Mars, and the colour channels of the HRSC; the oblique perspective views (images 2 and 3) were computed from data acquired by the HRSC stereo channels. The anaglyph image (image 4), which creates a three-dimensional impression of the landscape when viewed with red/blue or red/green glasses, was derived from the nadir channel and one stereo channel. The colour-coded elevation map (image 6) is based on a digital terrain model of the region, from which the topography of the landscape can be derived.
The HRSC camera experiment on the European Space Agency's (ESA's) Mars Express mission is headed by principal investigator (PI) Professor Gerhard Neukum (Freie Universität Berlin), who also came up with the technical concepts for the high resolution stereo camera. The science team consists of 40 co-investigators from 33 institutions and ten countries. The camera was developed at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and built in collaboration with partners in industry (EADS Astrium, Lewicki Microelectronic GmbH and Jena-Optronik GmbH). It is operated by the DLR Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin-Adlershof. Systematic data processing is carried out at the DLR. The images were generated by the Institute of Geological Sciences at the FU Berlin in conjunction with the DLR Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin.

Tagus Valles, a small, dendritic valley system in the Martian highland, originates south of the landscape shown here. The lower course of the valleys can still be seen in the image to the right (north) and bottom (east) of the striking crater in the upper left corner of the image. The heavily eroded rims of the large impact craters in particular indicate that this is a very old Martian landscape that has been changed by the deposition of sediments and by subsequent erosion processes.
ESA/DLR/FU Berlin (G. Neukum).
On the steep slopes inside this roughly 1500-metre-deep and 17-kilometre-wide crater, numerous landslides have occurred that have aggregated in places on the crater floor. The morphology of this crater with its striking rim stands in stark contrast to the already heavily eroded rim of the somewhat larger crater in the background. The interior of that crater has been covered by a flat layer of sediments, which were presumably deposited by the lower course of the valleys from Tagus Valles.
The contours of this 30-kilometre-wide crater in the right half of the image can barely be made out. Over billions of years, erosion has stripped away most of the rim, which was once several thousand metres high. The interior of the crater has been filled with a flat layer of sediment, which was presumably – at least in part – transported and deposited in the interior of the crater by a river. The entry point of the river valley can still be seen to the upper right in the background of the image. The smaller crater in the centre of the image is substantially younger, as it cuts into the rim of the larger crater and still has considerably more sharply defined contours.
Anaglyph images can be created using data from the nadir channel in the HRSC camera system, which looks vertically down at Mars, and one of the four stereo channels, which are aligned obliquely with respect to the surface. By using red/blue (cyan) or red/green glasses, a three-dimensional impression of the landscape can be obtained. North is to the right in the image. The high resolution of 22 metres per pixel enables even small differences in altitude to be seen, for example the (lower) course of the valleys of Tagus Valles to the right of the striking crater in the upper left corner of the image, which originate to the south (left) of the landscape shown here.
Tagus Valles originates in the north of the Hesperia plain in the Martian highlands. The lower course of the small valleys extends to a very old region heavily marked by eroded craters. This was imaged by the HRSC camera system on the ESA Mars Express spacecraft on 15 January 2013 during orbit 11504. The scenes shown here are located in the rectangular section in the lower third of the HRSC image strip.
NASA/JPL/MOLA Science Team; FUB.
Using the image data from the stereo channels in the HRSC camera system, digital terrain models of the Martian surface can be derived in which the topography can be seen using false colours. The altitude allocation can be read from a colour scale at upper right. In the absence of 'sea level', the elevation data is referenced to an areoid – a modelled equipotential surface on which everything experiences the same gravitational attraction towards the centre of the planet. North is to the right in the image. In this picture, the former course of Tagus Valles can just be seen, rising to the south of the region shown here (outside the image border), and passing above the centre of the image as a meandering valley a few hundred metres deep. The effects of erosion processes on the landscape can easily be seen in the interior of a 34-kilometre-wide crater (upper left in the image).

Route 7 in rural Rensselaer County is back open to traffic following a tanker rollover in Hoosick. We're told the driver of the tanker is in stable condition at Westchester Medical Center. Our Erin Connolly spoke with some residents who say the road where the crash happened may be too dangerous.
HOOSICK, N.Y. -- Route 7 in both directions is back open after a crash Wednesday, but not without some controversy. Some people saying the road here may be too dangerous.
This is all that's left of a tanker truck in Hoosick. Charred remains in the water and on the road. State police tell us the driver lost control of the vehicle while driving eastbound on Route 7. He hit a guide rail and a telephone pole before sliding down a 30 foot embankment into a creek. The tanker was carrying 8,500 gallons of unleaded gasoline and one thousand gallons of diesel fuel burst into flames.
Hoosick Fire Chief William Rifenburgh said, "The driver self extricated and was found by a passerby on the road and was brought to a local Stewart's Store."
The driver was taken to Albany Med and later airlifted to the Westchester Medical Center burn unit for serious burns to his head and shoulder area. Firefighters were able to put out the fire in about an hour, but not before gasoline made it into the waterway, which leads into the Hoosick River.
Rifenburgh said, "There is still a lot of odor in the area, so crews are addressing the environmental impacts and trying to get the diesel fuel out of the creek."
And this isn't the first time. There has been a similar rollover on Route 7. In fact, in 2011, two trucks flipped over on the road in two weeks. There are mixed opinions about whether the stretch of roadway is dangerous.
Hoosick Falls resident Brian DeLuca said, "I wouldn't call it dangerous, but it's probably the speed limits. It's quite a common thing that happens here."
Hoosick resident Kelly Kervan said, "I'm not sure if they had enough warning or if they were new on the roads. I'd wonder that. Is there enough signage posted to let people know what's going on?"
Barb Wagner said, "they should probably do something with it seeing that there's been three accidents there. Whether they'll change the speed limit or straighten it out, something needs to be done."
And the fire chief isn't sure if any changes need to be made to the road, but say the State Department of Transportation is conducting a study of the area.
Rifenburgh said, "There are curves there and loads can shift and create some problems for drivers as they're trying to navigate that area."
State Police are still investigating the cause of the accident. We are told it could take several weeks for cleanup crews to clean up the mess.

My 5 Favorite Rifts Covers Of All Time
For being one of the most kitchen-sink, metal games of all time, Rifts has had a varied cover art history. Some pieces seem downright mundane; some are so brimming with energy that your face might explode if you look at it too long.
Without further ado, I'm counting down my Top 5 Rifts covers of all time.
5) Rifts Worldbook 20: Canada
The Canada book usually gets mixed reviews overall, but I've always liked this picture. It's good to know that 3 centuries after an apocalypse has destroyed the world as we know it, the Mounties have mystically fused with a GI Joe Action Set to defend the Great White North. Really, though, I like it because you can tell Stuff. Is. Going. Down.
4) Rifts Worldbook 17: Warlords of Russia
My apologies to the millions of people worldwide that suffered under repressive Communists regimes, but damn, this cover makes Communism look cool. The book itself covers more than just the Soviets, but the cover definitely brings to mind marching in lockstep to just beat the living hell out of the Capitalist Lackey Oppressors of Mother Russia. Fun Fact: This image gives Tangency at RPGnet shivers, as they cry bitterly over the ending of Rocky IV yet again.
3) Rifts Worldbook 29: Madhaven
Mark Evans captured so much about what I love in Rifts here. There's the technological aspect, but we're reminded that it's humanity has to deal with this giant mess. Plus, they're basically digging for loot in the middle of what used to be Manhattan (or thereabouts). How awesome is that? Maybe they'll find a preserved enclave of hipster remains—a skinny jeans-wearing, ironic t-shirt version of Pompeii, if you will. And you just know there's some creepy stuff that's going to jump out at dusk from those buildings.
2) Siege on Tolkeen 3: Sorcerer's Revenge
This series wasn't so hot, but to me, this picture is what the Coalition States are all about (aside from, you know, the mass eradications and hate propaganda). There is a giant, angry dragon headed towards the Coalition guy in the Power Armor suit. Does he look like he's running? Please. This is Rifts. He's going to wait until the last minute, then give that dragon about 4 trillion rounds from his rail gun right in his ugly face. For Humanity.
Man, I need to run this game again.
1) Rifts Dimension Book 10: Hades
I have included this on the site before as being the Image Most Worthy Of Being A Late-80s Metal Album Cover. The distinction still stands. I can't really add much to this image, except for the fact that if you don't want to ride a zombie dragon-dog hybrid through Hell at some point, you really shouldn't be playing Rifts.

Have you ever seen the cover of the graphic novel? It manages to capture exactly what I *wish* Rifts was like.

Oh yes, that's a great one!
I really am thinking of jotting down my own post-apocalyptic kitchen sink notes one of these days. It's mix of Rifts, Gamma World, and OctaNe. Encounter Critical or Mutant Future doesn't hurt, either.

I like the cover of Dead Reign. The couple being seperated by a horde of zombies. I liked that one right away.
Also a huge fan of the cover Adventures in the Northern Wilderness. The wolfen raising the dead out of the swamp.

Absolutely. I need to do a Favorite Non-Rifts Palladium Covers post!

I see that none of my books are on this list. This seems like a glaring omission.

It would appear Mssr. Freelance RPG Writer is attempting to get art credits for his books now. By gum, this will not stand! :)

This says it all: "...if you don't want to ride a zombie dragon-dog hybrid through Hell at some point, you really shouldn't be playing Rifts." Perfect!

I once did a poll on the PB forums about this subject.
BTW, I'd also like to see more Rifts contents in this blog! :D
- February 18, 2010 at 10:32 AM
- Jason Richards said...
Unlike Mr. Marker, I recognize that MY books probably shouldn't be on the list, but few can compare to his massive sense of entitlement. See how humble I am? I'm very humble. :)
Not that I dislike the covers of Arzno or D-Bees of North America (not that D-Bees is more than 5% mine), I just don't think they stack up with some others. Of anything I've been involved with, I actually might like the cover to the short story collection the best. It's very simple and I think the view of the 'Burbs under the walls of the mega-city sets a nice tone.
Put in my vote for Madhaven as best, all-time.
- February 18, 2010 at 10:33 AM
- Jeff Rients said...
I still think the original rulebook has one of the best "Oh, crap! I gotta buy this!" covers in the history of the hobby. Demons, skulls, hot chicks. That one has it all.
- February 18, 2010 at 11:14 AM
- Mike said...
I agree - the original rulebook had a great cover. It's what got me playing RIFTS for a long, long time. It made me go OMG I WANT TO PLAY THAT.
The first South America book had a great cover, by Brom (I think) - an Anti-Monster holding up the head of one of its fallen foes.
(For anyone interested, I have downloads of various Rifts books I've written on my own site as well, although the covers aren't quite as sweet. ;) )

i love the warlords cover! i bought it back in the day just FOR the cover. funny how the Communists on the cover are hardly even mentioned in the book, but that is one of those funny quirks about Palladium that i've grown to love.
but i completely disagree with your pick for #1. I don't like the Hades cover at all (or the book itself for that matter), no matter how 80's metal it may look. it doesn't do anything for me.
I like the old Vampire Kingdoms cover (hordes of Vamps with glowing red eyes), Mindwerks cover (can anyone honestly say that a bionic woman holding a cybernetic brain in front of giant tubes where scientists are performing brain surgery on gargoyles isn't hot??). and someone already mentioned the cover of South America 1 (and yes, it is Brom who painted it)

Bought 10.5 as this was the size of my work shoes, had to send them back and ordered 11, this was the right size, and now comfortable and smart
Smaller than Expected
I'm delighted with these shoes. I was worried on first wearing them that they felt a little tight, but this soon passed and I now regard them as the most comfortable shoes in my wardrobe. Excellent quality and value.
Smaller than Expected
Casual wear.
I have been using these for years due to them being one of the few manufacturers to do very large sizes. Their sizing is spot on as is their comfort and quality. They are quite simple fantastic trainers.
Sized as Expected
Having read about size issues, I went to a local stockist to try an example for the fitting but, as a UK size 9 found them spot on. They didn't have the style I wanted so bought on line. Very quick delivery, faster than my local shop! Very impressed with the solid construction and the snug way the shoe holds the foot. The best fitting shoe I have had for years, they will not be my last! Also given high marks by my Othotist!
Sized as Expected
I have worn Merrell shoes for many years and have been delighted. This is no exception; really comfortable from day one. Only one slight criticism, but not enough to reduce the 5 stars; the heels are slightly rounded at the sides (presumably for looks), which can give a slight tilt which could be dangerous.
Sized as Expected
Everyday use

Another DC Homebrewers Oktoberfest meeting has come and gone. As always, a great time was had by all. Our hosts – Martin and Kristan Doczkat – provided the perfect space for us to enjoy all the great beer and great food.
Speaking of food – they also provided 6 chickens slow roasted over charcoal and a couple of smoked pork butts. Plenty of food was provided by the Food Committee and others, including pretzels, rouladen, potato pancakes, pickled red cabbage, brats, and more. We will try to better next time to accommodate the vegetarians in the group, but for those who imbibe in the meats, no one should have been hungry. Continue reading

Quick Overview:
The dazzling statue of the Vishnu in his virat form (omnipresent ) that he shows up in front of Arjuna at the battle field of Kurukshetra is a masterpiece of marble sculpture. Carved out of a single block of white marble, the figure shows some beautiful carvings of golden works and the smiling faces of the godheads. In the Bhagavad Gita, part of the epic Mahabharata, there is a point in the discourse between Arjuna and Krishna wherein Arjuna asks the Lord for a vision of his true form. Krishna grants this vision, both glorious and terrifying, in which Arjuna sees the entire universe inside Krishna. This great form of Krishna is called virat-rupa (omnipresent or vast form). The hands of the godheads as well as their headgears have some beautiful golden works on them. The yellow and green drapery is also impressive.

The Staffordshire Hoard - the Story of the Find
24th September 2009
The Discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard - and What Happens Next
How the hoard was found
The first pieces of the Staffordshire hoard were found in early July 2009 by Mr Terry Hibbert while he was metal detecting in a field in southern Staffordshire. Mr Herbert reported the find to the Portable Antiquity Scheme's Finds Liaison Officer for Staffordshire and the West Midlands, based here at Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery. Because the find was so important, English Heritage and Staffordshire County Council funded an archaelogical excavation which was carried out between 24 July and 21 August by Birmingham Archaeology. Following the excavation Mr Herbert found a few more pieces , but a final search of the site 14-15 September by a specialist police remote sensing team found nothing else, so it is likely that the entire hoard has been recovered.
What the hoard contains
At least 1,500 artefacts and fragments were discovered. Most of the complete objects are made of gold - the hoard contains about 5 kilograms (11lbs) of gold - but there are also items of silver and copper alloy. The hoard is unusaal because it largely seems to be made up of fittings that have been stripped from the hilts of swords and daggers (mostly pommel caps and hilt plates). No trace was found of any sword or dagger blades. In addition to the fittings, the hoard also contains parts of a helmet, plus at least two Christian crosses. Many of the gold items are decorated with pieces of garnet, a deep red precious stone. Others are covered in fine filigree work, or carry patterns made up of animals with interlaced bodies.
What happens next?
The hoard was declared to be Treasure at a coroner's inquest held at Cannock on 24 September. Under the 1996 Treasure Act any gold or silver objects found that are more than 300 years old are Treasure, along with any objects found with them. As Treasure, the hoard belongs to the Crown, but in practice interested museums can acquire it by paying the finder and landowner its commercial value. This will be assessed by the Treasure Valuation Committee, an independent body of experts. Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent, and Staffordshire County Council are hoping to acquire the hoard jointly so that it can be kept in the West Midlands.
Artefacts from the hoard will be on display at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery from Friday September 25. More news about this to follow.

Josh takes you along as his thrilling adventures continue! Plumb the hidden chambers and forgotten secrets of one of the most stunning archeological sites on the planet.
- Archeology gets a fresh new face in this exciting series.
- Hosted by adventurer Josh Bernstein, President and CEO of the world's oldest and largest wilderness survival school.
- Unknown to the West until 1812, the astonishing rock-hewn city of Petra is one of the most dramatic sites in the world.
Adventure has a new name! Host, explorer and survival expert Josh Bernstein takes a fresh look at the world's greatest ancient mysteries and puts adventure back into history as he travels to some of the most intriguing, remote and physically challenging locations in the world. With a fresh and engaging approach to archaeology, Josh goes to extremes and takes us along for the ride.
Imagine the awe and wonder of Johann Ludwig Burckhardt - the first Westerner to ever lay eyes on the magnificent rock-hewn citadel of Petra - as he beheld the mythic city for the first time. Today, nearly 200 years later, join Josh as he follows in Burckhardt's steps to this spectacular and mysterious site: "a rose red city half as old as time."
Over two and a half millennia ago in the foothills of what is now Jordan, the Nabataeans literally carved their glorious city from the living rock and - even more impressively - apparently drew water from stone, creating an oasis in an unremitting desert. They were among the richest, most powerful people ever to inhabit the Middle East, yet their greatest achievement has been abandoned for thousands of years.
Who were the Nabataeans? What became of them? Could any of their famed treasures remain in the city? In pursuit of these mysteries, Josh examines the only surviving parchment manuscript from Petra and searches for clues deep underground.
As he searches for the fabled LOST TREASURE OF PETRA, Josh takes you on another thrillingly entertaining and richly informative adventure. With Josh as your guide, you will understand - and share - the awe Johann Burckhardt felt two centuries ago.

Once again, the term 'vipassana' comes up.
Beginners have a hard time separating the unique significance
of this word in the burmese tradition vs others eg thai tradition.
In the burmese tradition (mahasi sayadaw) tradition, 'vipassana' is THE method taught by Buddha to reach enlightenment.
In other traditions, "vipassana" means insight. It is not a type of meditation.
I think it would be extremely helpful if the followers of mahasi sayadaw, goenka will acknowledge this. Otherwise, many people will remain confused, as I was for a long time.
I am not trying to debate whether the mahasi sayadaw method is good or not. But hoping to clear up a very common confusion faced by many beginners.

With knitwear designer Rhonda Fargnoli as your guide, create a sampler afghan featuring colors of your choice and six slip-stitch patterns that are tempting to the touch. Begin by knitting a textured central square in two colors – without ever having to carry both colors in the same row. With your central square bound off, you'll knit your first log with right- and left-twist cables. During class, you'll create five more logs, each with its own slip-stitch patterning. When you're finished with your first full square, you'll have all the techniques you need to finish an afghan that's as intricate as it is inviting. Plus, you can even use your new slip-stitch skills to create beautiful garments and accessories alike!
Get started! Learn about color combinations and structure, and meet your instructor.
Get started knitting your afghan! Make your center square and start attaching logs to make a block.
Now that you've got the afghan started, begin knitting more logs to build a beautiful blanket. Learn how to do the twist and continue your slip-stitch.
You've finished your block! Now go ahead and make more, then learn how to assemble your afghan by connecting the blocks and maybe even adding a lining.

But what does this mean for grantseekers?
Competitive grants
Under a shutdown, for the most part government agencies are not able to make any new awards or contracts, or sign agreements to continue existing awards (albeit there are some exceptions). The staffers who prepare RFPs are going to be on furlough, as are most (though not all) officials with management responsibilities over grants that are already awarded.
The news isn't all bad: The Federal Register will continue to be published (mainly because of statutory requirements concerning the posting of certain regulations), and RFPs which have already been developed for FY 2014 can potentially be posted in the FR, alerting potential applicants to competitions for which they can prepare grant proposals. The government's website, Grants.gov, should also remain operational, but with less staff support).
Individual benefits
Key programs such as Social Security and Medicare will continue to provide benefits, as is the case with other entitlement programs where payments are funded via permanent entitlement authority.
Formula, block grants and other programs
Activities funded with appropriations of budget authority that do not expire at the end of the fiscal year, such as multiple-year appropriations or appropriations which still have budget authority available for obligation at the time of a funding gap, can continue.
Programs which involve the safety of human life or protection of property, as long as the threat is real and imminent, can continue to operate.
Agencies plans
Department of Health and Human Services: The vast majority of employee furloughs would be among grantmaking and employee extensive agencies such as the Administration for Children and Families, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Administration for Community Living and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services: Funds for the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance program would be available today, due to advanced appropriations enacted in the 2013 appropriations legislation.
Medicare would in the short term be relatively unaffected by a lapse in appropriations
CMS would continue a "large portion" of Affordable Care Act activities, including:
- Coordination between Medicaid and Health Insurance Marketplaces.
- Insurance rate reviews.
- Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation.
- Pre-existing Condition Insurance plan activities.
Health Resources and Services Administration: HRSA would continue activities funded through sources other than annual appropriations, including Community Health Centers, the National Health Service Corps, and Maternal Infant and Child Health Home Visiting Program. Among the programs HRSA would not be able to provide payments for are the Children's Hospital GME Program, AIDS Drug Assistance Program, and Emergency Relief Grants and Comprehensive Care.
Administration for Children and Families: ACF would continue mandatory funded programs such as the Personal Responsibility Education and Health Professional Opportunity grant programs. Child support and foster care services would continue because they receive advanced appropriations in the FY 2013 appropriations process. ACF would not be able to make new discretionary grants, nor continue quarterly formula grants for TANF, child care, Social Services Block Grant, child welfare programs and the Community Service Block Grant programs.
Administration for Community Living: ACL would continue to support Aging and Disability Resource Centers and healthcare fraud activities supported through mandatory appropriations. Programs like Senior Nutrition, Native American Nutrition and Support Services, Prevention of Elder Abuse and Neglect, Long-Term Care Ombudsman program and Protection and Advocacy for persons with developmental disabilities would not be funded.
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration: No new grants; existing programs such as suicide prevention or other national hot lines would continue.
National Institutions of Health: Patient care would continue, but no new research grants would be awarded.
Center for Disease Control: Most domestic programs would be put on hold, with the exception of the Vaccines for Children program.
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality: Oversight would continue on projects funded by the Patient Center Outcomes Research Trust Fund. No new grants or awards will be available.
Bureau of Indian Education: As BIA funds are forward funded (the 2013-14 school year was funded in FY 2013's appropriations), monies are available to support ongoing school operations for the period of July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014.
Bureau of Indian Affairs: Funds will be available to:
- Support critical services that address health and safety of tribes and tribal members.
- Support investigation of allegations of child abuse and neglect.
- Provide law enforcement and detention operations on Indian lands, and help coordinate tribal law enforcement activities.
- Provide transportation infrastructure on tribal lands.
- Wildlife fire management
Department of Housing and Urban Development: All FY 2013 Indian Housing Block Grant and Indian Community Development Block Grant awards that have been recorded in the LOCCS system will be available during the government shutdown; however, if the grantee did not return their signed grant agreement before Oct. 1, grant funds will not be available in LOCCS until the grant agreement process is complete. All processing will stop during the government shutdown. The IHBG customer service center will continue to operate but in limited capacity.
As for public housing, HUD will continue to address emergency situations where failure to perform those functions would result in an imminent threat to the safety of human life or the protection of property. HUD will also keep open the line of credit contract for purposes of disbursing funds for public housing. For purposes of a shutdown, PHA or tribally-designated housing entities are not part of the federal government and would not close. However, some TDHEs may need to change their normal operating hours, as administrative funds are federal.
HUD will not be able to fund additional rental assistance payments to public and Indian Housing authorities. The agency predicts TDHEs should be able to continue providing rental assistance for the month of October. But, if the shutdown continues, some TDHE may not be able to maintain normal operations.
Under a shutdown, the Office of Loan Guarantees (Sec. 184) would be closed, so new case numbers, commitments or loan guarantee certificates will be issued for the Indian Housing LGP or Native Hawaiian Housing LGP programs.
