Machu Picchu (Peru Highlights - Category: Best Destination & Best Historical Site - Editors Pick) Latest News: The government has limited the number of visitors to Machu Picchu to just 2500 people per day. To avoid disappointment it is now essential that visitors purchase their Machu Picchu entrance tickets well before arriving at Machu Picchu. We recommend buying your tickets at least 5 days in advance but as more people learn about the changes you may need to buy your tickets much further in advance. The government have introduced an online booking system. The have also started to charge admission to Huayna Picchu (the tall mountain that you can see behind Machu Picchu). In order to climb Huayna Picchu you now have to buy a new combined Machu Picchu - Huayna Picchu entrance ticket. Tickets to Machu Picchu can be bought online at the official website www.machupicchu.gob.pe ************************************************* "Machu Picchu is a trip to the serenity of the soul, to the eternal fusion with the cosmos; where we feel our fragility. It is one of the greatest marvels of South America. A resting place of butterflies in the epicentre of the great circle of life. One more miracle." - Pablo Neruda, The Heights of Machu Picchu. Located 120 km northwest of Cusco, the Inca city of Machu Picchu lay hidden from the world in dense jungle covered mountains until 1911. This 'Lost City' is one of the world's archaeological jewels and is one of South America's major travel destinations. The well preserved ruins of Machu Picchu seem to almost cling to the steep hillside, surrounded by towering green mountains overlooking the Vilcanota River Valley. Even after having seen the classic photos of Machu Picchu in guide books, web sites and postcards you still cannot fail but to be impressed by the awe-inspiring location of the ruins. When you read about its discovery and the unsolved mystery of its purpose and how it came to become 'lost to the world' you will realize why so many people make the pilgrimage to visit this fascinating and spiritual site. With the right information, getting to Machu Picchu shouldn't be as much a mystery as the place itself. You can either book all the components of the trip yourself or you can buy a ready made package tour from one of hundreds of tour operators offering this service. However as Machu Picchu becomes more and more of a popular destination it is important to try and make your arrangements as far in advance as you can.
In order to plan your trip to Machu Picchu you have to understand a little about the geography of the area. Machu Picchu lay hidden from the world for such a long time because its location is fairly remote and inaccessible. Machu Picchu is located high up on a mountainside. The nearest town is Aguas Calientes which is located down in the valley beside the Vilcanota River. As you can see in the map above the main way of getting to Machu Picchu is by bus along a steep, narrow zigzagging dirt track from Aguas Calientes. Regular buses run this route throughout the day with a journey time of about 20 minutes. For the really fit and adventurous the only other way of getting to Machu Picchu is on foot either along the Classic 4-day Inca Trail starting at km82 or along the shorter 2-day Inca Trail starting at km104. Apart from the dirt track to Machu Picchu there are no roads that connect Aguas Calientes to the outside world and there is no airport. Aguas Calientes can only be reached is by rail, either by train from Ollantaytambo or Poroy (this is the most popular route - more details given below) or from Santa Teresa (Hidro-electrica). So if you are planning a trip to Machu Picchu then the best place to start your journey is from the city of Cusco, the historic capital of the Incas located about 120km to the south-east. Cusco is a beautiful and fascinating city and a great place to base yourself for a few days. How to get to Machu Picchu from Cusco Information about trekking to Machu Picchu is covered in the relevant sections of this website (see our webpage Trekking to Machu Picchu for more details). STEP 01a: Getting from Cusco to Aguas Calientes by Train (most popular option) Detailed information about getting to Machu Picchu by Train STEP 01b: Getting from Cusco to Aguas Calientes via Santa Teresa (adventure option) Detailed information about getting to Machu Picchu via Santa Teresa STEP 02: Getting from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu The bus from Aguas Calientes up to Machu Picchu takes about 20 minutes and costs US$10 each way (US$19 return). The ride itself is spectacular as the narrow track winds its way up the mountainside. It can be a bit scary at times with almost vertical drops plunging down into the Vilcanota Valley below especially when you meet a bus coming in the other direction! The scenery is lush cloud forest with great views of the sacred mountain Putucusi on the opposite side of the valley. If it wasn't for the rush to get to Machu Picchu this ride would be an attraction in itself. If you look closely out of the window you can see splashes of pink and orange flowers growing on the slopes - these are actually the orchid Wiñay Wayna which can be commonly seen throughout the region. The buses are clean and modern with air-conditioning. You have to buy your bus ticket before you get on the bus in the morning. There is a small ticket office just opposite the departure point which opens at 5:15am. The first group of buses depart from Aguas Calientes at about 5:20am then at 10 minute intervals throughout the day depending on demand until about 4pm. However if you really want to get to Machu Picchu early I would recommend arriving by about 5:00am since during the peak season there can be quite a queue by 5:15am!! It speeds things up if you buy your bus ticket in advance, either from the ticket office in Aguas Calientes the night before or from the Consettur offices in Cusco (located in Avenida Infancia 433 or just ask a taxi driver to take you there which will cost 3 Soles / US$1). Each bus departs when its full so by the time the 20th bus departs Aguas Calientes the 1st bus is already on its way back. The last buses depart Machu Picchu at about 5:30pm, be sure to check the time of the last bus as it can be a long walk back to Aguas Calientes if you miss it (well about 1 hour if you follow the more direct route rather than follow the road) STEP 03: Entrance to Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu opens at 6am and stays open until 6pm. You can take small bags into the ruins but anything larger must be left at the luggage store near the entrance for 4 Peruvian Soles a piece (about 1.5USD) - remember to take exact change!. Machu Picchu is a lot quieter before 11am and after 3:30pm. Monday is the busiest day, as many people head off to Machu Picchu after visiting Pisac market on Sunday. Sunday is one of the quietest days. June, July, August and September are the busiest months when entrance tickets can sell out several days in advance. Even during the low season you can expect between 1500 and 2000 visitors per day. STEP 04: Guided Tour of Machu Picchu Guides are available at the site. Expect to pay around US$20 per guide for a 2 hour private tour. You may be lucky and find a group that you can join for as little as US$5 per person depending on the size of the group. Check that the guide speaks a language that you understand !! If you don't want to spend half your time listening to the descriptions again in Spanish go with a guide that is going to speak just in English (the information will be more in-depth and informative). Guides are not mandatory and you can enter Machu Picchu and explore it on your own or with the help of a guidebook (or you can just stand next to one of the several places of interest and listen to the explanations given by someone else's guide!) A description of the ruins in detail is beyond the scope of this web site. For an excellent guide try Peter Frost's Exploring Cusco which can be bought quite inexpensively in Cusco. As the name suggests it also has plenty of information about Cusco, the Sacred Valley and the Inca Trail. The website www.machupicchuperu.info has some good photos. Climbing Huayna Picchu Huayna Picchu is the large mountain that you can see behind Machu Picchu. There is a narrow winding path leading to the top where you can find some interesting Inca ruins. There are stunning views over Machu Picchu and the surrounding mountains and the Vilcanota River below. Entry to Huayna Picchu is by way of a combined Machu Picchu - Huayna Picchu entrance ticket. The tickets costs S/.152 per person (S/.128 for the entry to Machu Picchu and S/.24 to climb Huayna Picchu). You must buy the entrance tickets well in advance. Although tickets can be bought from an official ticket office in Cusco they can sell out several days in advance so it is best to buy your entrance ticket online as soon as you can. A maximum number of four hundred persons per day can climb Huayna Picchu. Two hundred people will be allowed to start the climb between 07:00 and 08:00 (Group 01) and must return by 10:00. Another two hundred people will be allowed to start the climb between 10:00 and 11:00 (group 02) and must return by 13:00. Optional: Staying an Extra night If you want longer at the ruins or want to see them at sunrise when the light is more gentle and there are fewer visitors then you'll have to stay the night. You can stay at the super expensive US$900 a night Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge, which is the only hotel adjacent to Machu Picchu ruins, or you can spend the night in one of the many hotels in Aguas Calientes. There's not a great deal to do in Aguas Calientes - it doesn't rate as a particularly pretty town being built mostly of concrete, much of which looks half finished, but I think visitors will agree that it does have its own individual charm and character. There's a feel of a frontier town about it, with the railway forming the high street and the steamy jungle-clad mountains closing in on all sides. There are plenty of restaurants and hotels in the town and its main attraction are the thermal springs which gives Aguas (waters) Calientes (hot) its name. The outdoor springs are situated 15 minutes walk up from the town centre. They are fairly basic, with facilities to change and shower, and are used by the locals as much as the tourists, but it's a great place to relax, buy a beer, and enjoy the views. Taking the easy option - buying a tour There are hundreds of tour companies in Cusco and Lima queuing up to sell you a space on their tours to Machu Picchu, as well as specialist (and not so specialist) international tour operators. Most local operators offer a simple one day excursion from Cusco to Machu Picchu including all transport and a professional guide (check to see if the guide speaks good English). It is also worth checking to see what is the maximum number of people in the group. A group of up to 16 persons is easily manageable for a tour guide but more than 20 becomes difficult. I've seen plenty of guides in Machu Picchu with groups as big as 40 people trailing after them so make sure the maximum group size is put in writing when you sign up. Also make sure that everything included in the price is clearly listed. Consider items such as the transfer from you hotel, train tickets to Aguas Calientes (service and departure times), bus tickets between Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu entrance fees, guide (is the tour in English only), any meals etc. You'll usually have about 4 hours at the ruins themselves |

Dr John Hunter
Dr Hunter works as an oceanographer at ACE. His current interests are the sea-level rise induced by climate change, and the response of Antarctic Ice Shelves to global warming. His interest in sea-level rise was initially stimulated in the mid-1990s by his work (with others) on the historic sea-level mark at the Isle of the Dead, Port Arthur, which indicated where sea level was in 1841. This was one of the first such marks struck anywhere in the world for the scientific investigation of sea level. Recent work has involved investigations of sea-level rise in Australia, the U.S., and in the Indian Ocean and Pacific regions, and the way in which this rise increases the frequency and likelihood of flooding events (www.sealevelrise.info). He has a keen interest in seeing that the science of climate change is accurately communicated, not distorted by the so-called "climate skeptics" and is appropriately incorporated into public policy.

Wildman Kickstarter cancelled
Gas Powered Games pulls the plug on Wildman campaign
The ambitious and interesting-looking Wildman game from Gas Powered Games has suffered a blow, as the company has pulled the plug on the Kickstarter campaign.
The campaign initially asked for $1.1 million in funding, and with time running out and only half of the funding accumulated (which was still impressive), the developers have decided to put the campaign to rest.
"At this point, it makes sense for us to focus our attention on other ways to keep Gas Powered Games running," said CEO Chris Taylor. "If you want status updates, or if you want to continue discussing Wildman and/or this Kickstarter, please consider migrating over to forums.gaspowered.com."
In January 2013, it was reported that a large portion of Gas Powered Games' staff was let go.

Neema Cream Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Neema Cream is another skin treatment from Healthy People that is supposed to clear skin, treat dry skin and improve skin health. Healthy People also suggests that this cream could reduce the look of wrinkles and lines, which may be more true than most of Healthy People's claims. The cream is not designed to improve weight loss, but the ingredients in the formula are commonly included in weight loss supplements. There is a benefit to using a product like Neema Cream, but only if you look at weight loss as being a multi-dimensional process.

The ingredients of interest in Neema Cream include green tea, aloe vera, mangosteen, horsetail, jasmine oil and lavender oil. Green tea is an antioxidant that is proven to increase metabolism, but that is when the supplement is taken orally. When green tea is applied to the skin it has more of a direct impact on skin health, but some will be absorbed into the blood stream, which could have a positive effect.
Aloe vera is a soothing lotion ingredient. Again, orally the ingredient has a far different effect as it is actually a laxative, but aloe vera is trusted as a skin soothing ingredient that is commonly used to relieve the pain of sunburn.
Mangosteen is another antioxidant and horsetail is a diuretic that pulls extra water and puffiness from between fat cells on the face. Finally, jasmine and lavender are ideal for relieving stress as a means of aromatherapy.
So, what does all this have to do with weight loss? Well, weight loss is not just about what you put in your body and how much exercise you complete. Mentally, you must be happy and focused on weight loss to be successful. If you are not happy with the reflection you see in the mirror, you may not be happy with yourself in general. Improving skin health, especially facial skin, is critical to your weight loss success. When the person looking back at you is glowing with health, you are a happier person bound to stick with your diet longer.
- Some of the ingredients are commonly used in weight loss supplements.
- Healthy skin can improve mood and reduce the signs of aging.
- Healthy People tends to make claims that are not supported with clinical research.
- Neema Cream is not formulated for use as a weight loss supplement.
Neema Cream is a generally safe cream that could improve skin health. The green tea is an ideal antioxidant, especially paired with the mangosteen. We love the addition of aloe vera for smooth, cool skin, but we're concerned about the claim that users cannot go out in the sun after using the cream. This cream is best used at night.

The CSA of Natural Dyes will be growing in Gowanus this Summer, making our neighborhood more colorful and eco-friendly! Read more
The CSA of Natural Dyes will be growing in Gowanus this Summer, making our neighborhood more colorful and eco-friendly!
About this project
Starting a CSA to Dye For
The Textile Arts Center is proud to present the new adventure of Sewing Seeds -a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) fully dedicated to natural dyes!
Starting this summer in Brooklyn, an abandoned lot on the corner of Bergen and 4th Street will be transformed as part of the 596 Acres project. The Sewing Seeds CSA garden will run for a 6 month season between June and November 2012, providing members with plants to be used as natural dyes, as well as recipes and workshops utilizing them.
The Sewing Seeds CSA will create a new green space in the Gowanus community, as well as strongly interact with Textile Arts Center education programs. Sewing Seeds will provide information on the plants, dye extraction, and dye technique, serving as a backdrop for free workshops and lectures for the community.
While the Sewing Seeds CSA shareholders' fees will cover all the expenses throughout the season, the Bergen Street plot has been abandoned and unloved for years. The funds raised through Kickstarter will cover the initial work and materials to convert this land into the new Sewing Seeds garden. Soil, raised beds, irrigation system, etc. will make this unused land an enjoyable and educational space for all of us in the community. And the only way to make this project possible is to raise enough money to cover the initial expenses.
Your donation will be much appreciated! We're counting on you to help us make our community more colorful.
What is Sewing Seeds? The Sewing Seeds project started in 2010 at the Textile Arts Center with the mission to provide accessible, accurate and inspired information on natural dyes to our community. So far, this project has included classes and workshops on natural dyes, for adults and kids, grown a Living Library of Natural Dyes in the Carroll Street Community Garden as a reference and teaching tool, and created a database on natural dyes and recipes which will soon be freely available online.
Why Natural Dyes? Before the invention of synthetic dyes in the 19th century, the world wasn't black and white. It was full of bright colors, extracted from the bounty around us; from leaves, flowers, fruits, roots and bark. Today most of these plants can be grown in a sustainable way and used to dye fabric and yarn with minor impact in the environment, to the dyer, and to the user. Not to mention that a lot of sources for natural dyes are actually wasted by modern cultures, like onion skins, carrot tops and rhubarb leaves.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

Dylan Dog, the very popular Italian comic series published in English by Dark Horse as The Dylan Dog Case Files, has a movie adaptation coming out! Dylan Dog: Dead of Night stars Brandon Routh (Superman Returns, Chuck) as the paranormal investigator in New Orleans. Also appearing in the film are Sam Huntington (who was also in Superman Returns as Jimmy Olsen) and Taye Diggs. The film is from Platinum Studios (Cowboys & Aliens).
I had no idea this movie was due out next month (U.S. release date of April 29), but this oddly written production blog suggests some strange behind-the-scenes happenings, as well as a delayed release from last year, which might explain the lack of promotion. The blend of horror and comedy looks amusing, and I like Routh. Here's the trailer; what do you think?
I've never heard of the comic, but after Routh's great job on Chuck (made me wish he'd had more to do in Superman Returns) I'll have to look for this.
I don't understand why Hollywood keeps buying rights to awesome comics and turning them into turds for the screen. I'm not an avid Dylan Dog reader but from what I have read I can tell that this retains none of the look or feel of the comic. Maybe the movie will be better than the trailer but right now it looks like a vodka commercial with zombies.
With so few people familiar with Dylan Dog in the U.S., I suspect "fidelity to the source material" wasn't high on the priority list. Once we've gotten a chance to see the movie, I'd love to hear more about what was the same/different with the comic.

LINCOLN—On Friday, Jan. 23, Union College will host a concert by Christian recording artist Jill Phillips. The free concert will take place at College View Church located on the corners of 48th and Prescott at 7:30 p.m. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
Phillips, chosen as the 2002 pick for best independent artist of the year by CCM Magazine readers, has found remarkable success among Christian music fans. Phillips reaches audiences with her heartfelt folk/pop style. She recently released a popular album "God & Money," and is currently working on another project, "Writing On The Wall" (Fervent Records).
Phillips's life is a testimony to her faith. "My goal is to do everything to the best of my ability," Phillips says, "so that He can use it in whatever way He sees fit." She is often surprised at the ways in which He uses her music. "It is always an amazing thing when the songs are used to speak to people, sometimes in ways that I never even intended in writing them."
Donations will be accepted at the door. Any questions may be directed to Union College Campus Ministries at 486-2508.

'Help me plagiarize'
It was the strangest request I ever have received: "Can you help me plagiarize my thesis?" asked the young Chinese student. I did not think I had heard correctly. When she repeated her request, I figured she merely misunderstood the word, or had poor English and was asking for help avoiding plagiarizing.
I was speaking at five universities last year, and I had a free day between lectures. I am known for helping proofread papers. She had her flash drive in hand. It was the last month of their school year, and she was fretting about finishing her thesis. I asked her to sit down and talk.
"You want me to help you a-v-o-i-d plagiarism, right?" I emphasized.
"No," she repeated to me in slow English so I clearly would understand. "I need help plagiarizing my paper."
(Okay Schrock, maintain composure. Don't roll your eyes. Don't hold your head in your hands and moan.)
"Tell me what plagiarism means to you," I directed.
"I need to change enough words so it won't be detected by the computer."
Now I knew exactly why she was asking.
Five years ago, China's Ministry of Education issued a directive to universities to check every master's thesis and doctoral dissertation for plagiarism. Plagiarism has become a worldwide problem, thanks to online access and the ease of the cut-and-leave function.
Just as American professors use programs such as Turn-It-In to detect students who have bought their term papers from "paper mills," Chinese universities installed plagiarism-check software on well-intentioned "orders from above." And their universities passed the responsibility down to the students. Before they turn in their first draft, they are to go to the library, where a designated computer runs it through the plagiarism-check. They are not to hand it in until it clears the check.
So students learn a functional definition of plagiarism: It is the number of English words (or Chinese characters) in-a-row that are identical to other works on file. To avoid plagiarism, some believe all you have to do is change enough words so there never are seven or more in a row that match other work.
"Why not put quotes around all the sentences that are from other people, and then put their names in parentheses at the end of the sentence?" I asked.
"Oh, I know all about that," she said. "My whole thesis will be in quotes."
"Didn't you add some ideas yourself?" (I really wanted to help.)
"No. We are just students. How can we come up with new ideas? Those people get Nobel Prizes. Everything in here I got from the books and articles I read."
"How about putting some of these ideas in your own words. We still have to credit the authors -- it's called paraphrasing?"
"That's what I want you to help do, so there is enough difference the computer won't detect it. But I can't list all the sources because that would be everything." She was beginning to suspect I would not help her. We talked for a half hour. I never did succeed in getting her to understand why we give credit by citation.
This problem is pervasive throughout Asia and other countries that have a heritage of didactic teaching. Throughout their K-12 education, the teacher is the "master," and the students are apprentices. Whole classes engage in group recitation of identical texts. For 12 years, you are rewarded when you can repeat the teacher's explanation or the textbook answer, word-for-word. And now in college, they change the rules on you, and call this copying "plagiarism."
She was certain this plagiarism rule was just a way to force people to pay money to buy permission to use the words, similar to copyright and trademarks. I never did succeed in teaching her the value of giving credit to sources. I asked her how old her major professor was -- he was "old school." She was not a bad person. She just needed to be taught. The young Chinese professors coming back from study in the West have been doing that teaching, and China is changing fast.
Tomorrow, I fly to Harbin in far northeast China to work with faculty and graduates on research and publication integrity. Their Office of Science Integrity in their Ministry of Science and Technology is hosting these sessions nationwide. I hope I never will be asked by a student to help them plagiarize, ever again.

Skuse signs on
Cole Skuse has signed a new contract to keep him at Bristol City until the summer of 2013. The midfielder agreed the extended deal before the club headed to Sweden for their pre-season tour. "I got a phone call from the club to say they had a new contract off for me. It didn`t take me long to sign it at all," Skuse told the club`s official website. "I`ve always been a Bristol City fan and all my friends and family are based here. Some say I`m stuck in the comfort zone but that`s not true. "We are in the Championship pushing for the Premier League with a new manager and everything about the club, including the new training ground and stadium, is moving in the right direction."

Since the first trailer to Ground Zeroes and when the internet worked out that The Phantom Pain was indeed Metal Gear Solid V, the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain hype train has been running without brakes. However, while so far the fan reaction has been incredibly positive, there has been one aspect of the next Metal Gear Solid game that has upset its fanbase – the recasting of Snake from David Hayter to Keifer Sutherland. Of course, not all of the fanbase is upset, and while Keifer has plenty of supporters out there, the fan backlash to him voicing Snake has been overwhelming. And while the matter does seem to be put to bed, many fans feel that Hideo Kojima is pulling the wool over our eyes, and that this entire supposed recasting of Snake is merely a ruse.
Here's 5 reasons why David Hayter might return for The Phantom Pain
Before it was announced that David Hayter wasn't returning, he posted a poll on his Twitter. The question asked was "How would you react if I didn't play Snake in the next Metal Gear?", with the results coming in at "Sad/Angry 64%, No Big Deal 12% and Would not Buy 24%". Fans speculated that he was up to something, and a little under a month later he posted a statement on Twitter that can be found here.
However, while the statement seems heartfelt and rather genuine, the timing of it was a little suspect. He posted it on April 1st, and while fans have since asked him if it was an April fools joke, he has stood behind it being the real thing. Who knows, but this kicked off the theory that a Hayter-less Metal Gear Solid is possibly a ruse.
Cast your minds back to the original trailer for The Phantom Pain, long before we suspected it was actually a Metal Gear Solid title. The character who has his face bandaged who helps Snake – known only as Ishmael – is clearly voiced by Keifer Sutherland. Konami hasn't changed this since either, and they have showed him in the GDC Fox Engine video. So what does this mean? Well, there's a few possibilities. Either Keifer Sutherland is voicing both Snake and Ishmael- which can be heard in the GDC Fox Engine press conference, or he is just voicing Ishmael and someone else is eventually voicing Snake. Then again, this is assuming that Ishmael isn't in Snake's head, and is actually real and not a hallucination much like those "who don't exist".
This is an odd one here. After a number of trailers shown, there is one thing we haven't seen yet – Snake speaking on -screen with the voice of Keifer Sutherland. There have been only two parts in which we've actually heard his voice, once from behind his head when he's freeing Kaz in Afghanistan, and once more off-screen at the end of the E3 trailer. Many fans have made the mistake that Snake's voice can be heard throughout the E3 trailer, but rather we are hearing both Revolver Ocelot and Kaz's voices.
So after all these trailers, the announcement that Keifer Sutherland – a big Hollywood name – is voicing Snake, we haven't actually seen him speak on screen. That's pretty crazy, if you ask me. Konami have this huge name attached to their project, but have yet to show him in action? There must be some kind of misdirection going on here, right?
This certainly isn't proof, but they are two interesting references that something – whether it involves the David Hayter or not – is going on. In a recent interview with Hideo Kojima on Gametrailers that can be found here, the interviewer asks Kojima at the end, "Given your reputation, should fans believe everything you're saying, and like, are you doing a little bit of misdirection?", to which Kojima pulls a smirk, and the frame freezes as the Metal Gear Solid theme plays. Keep in mind that the executive producer of Gametrailers is Geoff Keighley who, as we are now aware (1.50), was in on the original The Phantom Pain ruse right from the beginning. Could Gametrailers still be in on something with Kojima and are directly teasing it to us?
Additionally, before E3 on the KP Alert podcast (Episode 2) which can be found here, they talked mainly about the recently announced news that Keifer Sutherland was voicing Snake. When speaking about the voice over/mocap sessions, one of the team says (at 13.24) , "We started with VO and facial. Keifer came in a little early and we got started on it, did a few scenes and ummm… some… some things there too. Almost let it slip there", to which everyone else laughs. Let what slip? Perhaps Keifer is doing the motion/facial capture and David Hayter is doing the voice of Snake? Who knows, but it seems like even Konami is desperately wanting to tell us something.
Finally, one of the most compelling pieces of info that Hayter is up to something. Since his statement saying farewell to the Metal Gear Solid fans, and his disappointment in not returning to the role, he has tweeted some rather cryptic messages.
First off is a message his posted leading up to E3:
Which was followed up by this tweet a few days later:
Which was then followed quite recently with this, Hayter arriving at E3 a little late to the party…
This has led many fans to believe that a reveal may be coming soon, just not yet. Additionally, here's a tweet that hasn't gained much traction, but I found it to be one of the more interesting tweets he has sent out:
Made-up feuds? Interesting to say the least, eh?
In the end, we still don't know, but I personally believe that Kojima has one more ruse up his sleeve. Time will tell, but during the next Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain trailer, I wouldn't be completely surprised if it cut to Snake from the original Ground Zeroes trailer, he looks to the camera, and whips off his night vision goggles to the sound of David Hayters voice saying, "Kept you waiting, huh?" This outcome would deliver a terrific motion/facial capture performance from a seasoned actor, with the icing on that cake that is Snake's voice, his one and only voice.
Make it happen.

No, this isn't a new Marvel comics game based on the not-so-jolly green giant, but rather a sweet new cross platform game based on the Warhammer 40,000 board and video game franchise. Space Hulk's developer, Full Control, promises cross platform play across iOS, Mac, and PC, so that should be pretty sweet.
Posted in: BlogThe adaptation will bring the claustrophobic, dungeon-diving fear of the original Space Hulk to the digital realm. One player controls a team of space marines that crawls through the narrow passageways of a derelict spaceship, while another player controls the "Genestealers," a race of deadly humanoid aliens. Many of the game's mechanics are based on sci-fi tropes; for example, the Marines can't see all the Genestealers on the map at any given point, but can see radar blips reminiscent of Ridley Scott's Alien franchise.

Kass: The Market Is Overvalued
This column originally appeared on Real Money Pro at 8:24 a.m. EDT on March 19.
NEW YORK ( Real Money) -- In recent weeks, many investors, traders and strategists have abandoned their previously bearish market and economic views (which had dominated their thinking at the beginning of the year). Some of the contributing factors that have led to a rekindling of the market's animal spirits in 2012 include:
- better jobs data;
- stabilization of the European sovereign debt problem (thanks to massive liquidity provided by the LTRO);
- a short-term Greek resolution (and debt exchange); and
- performance-chasing (as investors move from underinvested positions).
I view both the more optimistic economic and profit forecasts as well as the outgrowth of elevated price targets with some skepticism -- just as I suggested that Wall Street's dour outlook of three months ago was too pessimistic and as I anticipated that the European debt crisis would move from a potentially fatal affliction to a condition that would be stabilized (but would still have to be monitored) and that the U.S. economy would muddle along.
The Spring of Our Discontent
Fundamentally (and crucial to our somewhat negative near-term market outlook), my assessment of the cyclical factors impacting the trajectory of economic growth is little cloudier than the growing and more optimistic consensus.- The consumer outlook is mixed. While payroll data has improved (recording three consecutive months of 200,000-plus jobs growth), income growth is still weak in absolute terms and relative to rising inflation.
- The costs of life's necessities (gasoline, education, health care and food) are rising. As a result, the growth in wages and salaries is lagging the rise in consumer prices.
- Warm weather has pulled forward retail sales (particularly in construction and leisure spending).
- The 100% tax credit for capital expenditures (expired on Dec. 31, 2011) has pulled forward business equipment spending.
- Rising interest rates will likely slow down refinancing activity and dampen the improvement in the housing markets.
- The spring appears likely to bring a loss of business and spending momentum. Already, industrial production and University of Michigan consumer sentiment have begun to show signs of weakness last week.
No Market Pause but Developing Technical Flaws
Technically, ever-rising share prices sow their own seeds of potential destruction. For example, I would beware the VIX, which is the best measure I know of measuring complacency in a market that has had no pause but contains a number of technical flaws. Importantly, I depart from some of the (newly) converted bulls in that I do not expect that P/E multiples to reach their historical multiplier (of about 15x) experienced over the last five decades, as the new normal of slower and below-trend economic growth and other factors weigh on valuations. (Implicit in my melded fair market value of 1335 for the S&P 500 is a 13x P/E multiple.)Secular Issues and Deflating Cap Valuations
Below are some of the other secular factors that investors should be concerned with over the near term that will likely cap the market's upside.- Monetary: I see a U.S. monetary cliff at the end of June coincident with the completion of the Fed's quantitative-easing program.
- Fiscal: I see a U.S. fiscal cliff at year-end 2012, with the $500 billion fiscal drag of rising tax rates and government spending cuts.
- Deficit: Our fiscal imbalances have yet to be addressed. Every day that goes by raises the size of our fiscal challenge, as does every basis point that bond rates climb.
- Unemployment: Despite the recent improvement in the jobs market, a number of factors will conspire to keep the unemployment rate elevated. Those factors include technological innovation, globalization, a mismatch between job needs and talent/skills/education and a large drop in U.S. home prices (which reduces geographical mobility, as many homes are underwater).
- Valuation History: The history of markets during periods of relatively modest changes in corporate profits (I estimate a range between +3% and +5% for both 2012 and 2013), subpar economic growth (less than 2%) and rising inflation make for a flat, not an expanding, P/E multiple. Revenue and profits forecasts are coming down, conspicuously so, if one excludes the exceptional results and very upbeat forecasts for Apple (AAPL - Get Report). I continue to see a growing probability that corporate profit margins are in jeopardy, as unit labor costs rise and as core PPI is running ahead of core CPI.
- Political: The outcome of the U.S. and French elections introduces market uncertainty and could adversely limit addressing fiscal issues and reverse recent strides in containing the debt crisis in Europe.
- Black Swans: We have witnessed a greater frequency of black swans (economic, political, geopolitical and physical disasters) over the past two decades. I have speculated that the price of oil might be the next black swan.
My Fair Market Value Is 5% Below Current Levels
My starting point when I determine long exposure is valuation, which is accorded by four different economic scenarios. In looking at my four outcomes, I am making the following changes this morning:- I am lowering the probability of an economic reacceleration in domestic activity (defined as +3% for 2012 real GDP);
- I am eliminating any possibility of a recession this year;
- I am modestly increasing the chance of sub-1% 2012 real GDP; and
- I am substantially raising the likelihood of a muddle-through scenario (defined as 2012 real GDP growth of between +1.5% and +2.0%).

If he's lucky, a female will drop by and give him the once-over. Assuming she likes the area (and doesn't find the male repulsive), she'll build a nest in the shrubs a few inches off the ground. Then she and her beau will do that birdie thing, and presto -- next thing you know you've got eggs and, soon, baby sparrows.
This year the little birds' mating ritual nearly included a decidedly unnatural and bulky partner -- a giant, multimillion-dollar rubber doughnut encircling their nesting area, courtesy of the federal government. The bizarre plan, devised in the final weeks of March by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was an act of desperation designed to save the sparrows from possible extinction -- and to get government officials out of an embarrassing jam.
Cape Sable seaside sparrows, which for the past 31 years have been officially listed as endangered, live their precarious existence in the smallest habitat of any bird in North America -- almost exclusively within the boundaries of Everglades National Park and the Big Cypress National Preserve. Of particular concern to scientists working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a flock of less than 300 that mate in the north-central part of Everglades National Park, west of the Shark Valley slough. If this group does not have a successful breeding season this year, experts say, the entire species could be gone within two decades.
That flock's mating area happens to be part of a dumping ground for water collected by the system of canals built by the army corps to drain Everglades wetlands and provide flood protection. For the most part, the canals south of Lake Okeechobee divert to the western (uninhabited) part of the Everglades water that would normally flow toward the eastern (inhabited) part.
After several wet years -- capped by this season's El Nino winter rains -- the canal system was filled to capacity. If more rain were to fall this spring, the corps and the South Florida Water Management District would be forced to literally open the floodgates and release the overflow. That excess water could go in one of two directions: southwest into the sparrows' nesting grounds (ruining the chances for breeding) or southeast toward an area occupied by several hundred homes.
Either possibility, say army corps officials, would be unlawful. Flooding out the birds would violate the federal Endangered Species Act. Flooding out the residents would damage or destroy their property without their consent. "We were on the horns of a dilemma," recalls Richard Bonner, deputy district engineer for the corps' regional Jacksonville office. "There was no way to win."
With time running short on the sparrows' nesting period, officials from the White House's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) prodded the army corps to come up with a solution that would avert a public relations disaster. So the corps offered to do what it does best --- build a levee. Or more descriptively, a rubber doughnut.
Outlined in a six-point plan, the corps proposed to construct a barrier around a four-square-mile area used last year by the sparrows for nesting. Four feet in diameter, a tube would be inflated with water, making it heavy enough to act as a dike. Twenty-five diesel-powered pumps would be evenly spaced around its perimeter to remove from the nesting grounds any water that would seep under the barrier. To avoid disturbing the sparrows, the pumps were to be equipped with mufflers that would make them as quiet as hospital generators. As an alternative to diesel engines, which would need refueling every two days, the corps also offered to install electric pumps, which would have required ground cables miles long.
The tubes, painted in unobtrusive earth tones, were to be transported by airboats or swamp buggies, even though the site in question is a designated wilderness area and is off-limits to such vehicles. The levee would have been constructed by hand over the course of three to four weeks, leaving just enough time for the sparrows to breed before the rainy season kicked in.
Estimated cost for materials alone? Somewhere in the range of five million dollars.
"It was ridiculous," scoffs University of Tennessee ecologist Stuart Pimm, who studies the Cape Sable seaside sparrow for the U.S. Department of the Interior. "There is an answer to this sort of problem, and it is not big mechanical barriers."
Pimm returned from a trip to Brazil on March 20 and found urgent messages on his answering machine from the White House's CEQ. The next day, at his first opportunity while traveling to the Georgia coast for a field trip with his students, Pimm pulled over at a McDonald's for a conference call arranged by the CEQ soliciting his opinion of the rubber levee. "If all else fails, would this help?" he recalls being asked. "Yes, this would be better than nothing," he replied. But Pimm also criticized the size of the proposed enclosed area as too small and worried about damage caused by construction.

Interleukin 4 (IL-4) and IL-13 are critical for responses to parasitic helminthes. We used genetically engineered reporter mice to assess the temporal and spatial production of these cytokines in vivo. In lymph nodes, IL-4, but not IL-13, was made by follicular helper T cells (T(FH) cells). In contrast, tissue type 2 helper T cells (T(H)2 cells) produced both cytokines. There was also divergent production of IL-4 and IL-13 among cells of the innate immune system, whereby basophils produced IL-4, whereas innate helper type 2 cells (Ih2 cells) produced IL-13. IL-13 production by T(H)2 and Ih2 cells was dependent on the transcription factor GATA-3, which was present in large amounts in these cells, and in contrast to the small amount of GATA-3 in T(FH) cells and basophils. The distinct localization and cellular expression of IL-4 and IL-13 explains their unique roles during allergic immunity.

MODERN parents are apparently giving up on the old fairy stories – because children find them too upsetting.
But they had to be.
Once upon a time, long before the days of childcare books, nanny television shows, CRB checks and lollipop ladies, the world was a dark and dangerous place. And parents were on their own.
Parents did what parents have always done and tried to bring up their children to be alert to danger as well as to be kind and decent human beings.
So they told them fairy tales.
Fairy tales warned little girls to be wary of strangers in the woods who offered to carry their baskets to granny, or of strange old ladies who enticed them in with gingerbread. Or mad old men who popped up out of nowhere and offered them three wishes.
Pretty decent advice really.
They told them not to be horrid to ugly old people, as they may turn out to be witches and put a spell on them And always to be nice to humble peasants, who might just turn out to be princes in disguise.
Riches were no guarantee of virtue. And it was usually the youngest son with no gold or power who got the girl – because his heart was honest and true, which was the really important thing.
There were dangers in dealing with the random spitefulness and wickedness of people who exacted unfair bargains or had a piece of ice in their heart. But that's the way the world can be, so you'd better be prepared.
And even if you were doomed to be poor and spend your day sweeping cinders, tending geese or working for nothing on your father's farm, one day a handsome young prince/beautiful young princess might just happen by and appreciate your true worth. So keep at it.
If all else fails, you can always dream of some magic beans – the way dreams of a lottery win still get some of us through the ironing.
As a rough and ready guide for life, fairy tales did a pretty good job for generations.
Not any more.
Apparently parents think fairy tales are outdated. Cinderella shouldn't be spending all day doing housework.
Well that's nothing new. There have been many splendid feminist variations on the fairy stories in which doughty maidens refuse to be shut in towers, slave for seven grumpy old men or settle for a second rate prince.
Or who kiss a prince only for him to turn into a frog...
My favourite of all has to be Roald Dahl's take on Little Red Riding Hood.
The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
She slips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creature's head.
And bang, bang, bang, she shoots him dead.
But I don't suppose the anti-gun lobby are too keen on that one either.
The best time for children to be scared is when they are young and safe and cuddled up to their parents.
That make it all a bit like a fairground ride – scary in a nice way.
And all the time, important lessons are going into tiny impressionable minds.
Yes it's sometimes scary. But life can be scary. And the younger we know that the better. Especially if we want to live happily ever after.
Valentine's Day
OKAY, so Valentine's Day is a nasty commercial rip-off fest of plastic hearts and twee tacky tat.
On the other hand, it was slightly disconcerting that the only card I received was from the Honda garage. Especially as I abandoned them last year to drive a VW...
Why are these men paid so much?
ALAN Hansen is probably a better footballer than Angela Rippon, but is he a better TV presenter?
And is he worth 40 times as much for presenting a programme that doesn't get as many viewers as the one presented by Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville?
Those three get £1,000 each for presenting Rip-Off Britain, which has five million viewers.
Alan Hansen gets £40,000 for Match of the Day with 4.5 million viewers, Gary Lineker at least the same and Alan Shearer gets £10,000 per programme.
The men's wages are ridiculous – especially when we, the licence payers are forking out. The gap between the men's money and what the women get is scandalous.
The women should get a bit more – and the men an awful lot less. But boys will always shout louder until they get what they want.
It's probably relevant that Angela, Gloria and Julia are all of a certain age, a generation who grew up in a time when men were always paid more than women and who are now, at this stage of the game, reluctant to rock the boat.
Well they should start making big waves.
The generation coming up behind them won't be as quick to settle for less – so the boys might as well get used to it now.
Who is feeding him?
THE world's fattest man, Keith Martin is so fat that he cannot even turn over on his own.
He's confined to bed, can't get out, can't go to the shops, can't go downstairs to open the door to the delivery man or into the kitchen to raid the biscuit tin, let alone cook himself a meal. Yet he still manages to weigh 58 stone. Why?
He can eat only what his carers give him. So why do they keep giving him so much?
As his weight is clearly threatening his life – he suffers, unsurprisingly, from heart problems and depression – couldn't they be charged with grievous bodily harm or even attempted murder by over-feeding?
Maybe the time has come for some healthy neglect. If it got him out of bed looking for his dinner, it could be an easy miracle cure.
Well done Adele, and well done Adele's mum
MANY congratulations to singer Adele, winner of an amazing six Grammy awards this week. (So yah boo to Karl Lagerfeld who had the nerve to criticise her size). She was brought up in fairly grotty flats by single mother Penny, who juggled a series of jobs, introduced her daughter to music, encouraged her dreams and yet kept her feet firmly on the ground.
Congratulations to Adele – and nearly as many congratulations to her mum.
Dear Sharon,
I HAD not read any books by Charles Dickens since I was in school, which was a very long time ago. And yes we have a complete set of his books, inherited from my grandmother, together with the
Scottie dog bookends.
But one of my Christmas presents was a Kindle and as you can download classics for free, I was inspired by the TV version at Christmas to download Great Expectations and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Maybe it helps if you know the story.
I am currently travelling by train to Leeds twice a week so have plenty of time for reading. I have finished Great Expectations and am nearly at the end of Oliver Twist, which I have also enjoyed.
Charles Dickens' characters and stories are still very much alive so he will always be important.
Sue Schofield (by email).
