CES Day 1: UHD TVs, New Processors and Gaming Consoles
By Ram Srinivasan Epoch Times Contributor On January 8, 2013 @ 7:45 pm In Innovation | No Comments
If anyone expected Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013 to be a sleeper event, they were wrong. After only the first of three days of the CES wrapping up, a myriad of consumer products have already popped out of the woodwork ready to make their way to the hands of eager customers in upcoming months.
First up, giant UHD TVs. Remember HD? Remember thinking about how awesome video quality was with those? Well you can forget those as all major TV makers--Samsung, Sony, Vizio and others--announced their lineup of 4k Ultra HD (UHD) television sets for the upcoming year. And its not just the UHD/4k technology, the sizes of the screens is massive too: the major TV vendors are boasting TV sets that go up from 55 inches all the way to 110 inches in size.
In order to allow for TV content to display well in screens of such large sizes, the TV vendors are using a variety of techniques. Sony is pushing hard its 4k resolution format, which natively comes with four times as much resolution as HD. Samsung is boasting about its "upscaling" techniques, which allows normal HD video to be displayed crisply on really, really large monitors.
Processor and chip makers Intel, Qualcomm and Nvideo took advantage of their keynotes and special press conferences to highlight their latest products. Intel promoted the power savings of its latest lineups of processors, touting new smartphone and tablet lineups from its hardware partners. In addition, Intel also talked about "perceptual computing" and gave a demo of users navigating a computer using sensors and head and body movements instead of the regular keyboard and mouse.
Qualcomm's CEO Dr. Paul Jacobs shared the stage with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to introduce their latest Snapdragon 600 and 800 processor, reportedly the first quad-core processor for smartphones. The processor will clock 2.3 GHz and are based on the ARM architecture that is popular for smartphones and tablets.Not to be outdone, Nvidia, the 3D and gaming chip company, announced its own lineup of hardware and chips for the coming year.
But what likely surprised people most was Nvidia's announcement of its new gaming console, which it calls Project Shield. A portable gaming device that seems to be meant to rival the Nintendo's 3DS and Sony's PS Vita, Project Shield will run on Nvidia's new Tegra 4 chip, feature a 5-inch 720-p retinal display and run the Android operating system and games made for the Android platform.
In addition to the latest and greatest in televisions and gaming and mobile hardware, vendors also announced their latest smartphones and laptops… as well as every other type of hardware imaginable to CES.
With two more days to go, its predictable that there are more knock-your-socks-off hardware waiting to be announced. So stay tuned.

It's been a gold-star week so far for Katy Perry. Not only did she release her new single "Roar," yesterday, but today, her beau John Mayer professes his love for her with his new tune, "Who You Love " on which she also sings. The album is set to go out on Aug. 20.
Mayer, 35, has been famously difficult to pin down, but as these lyrics suggest, his days of waffling are over.
"My girl, she ain't the one that I saw coming /Sometimes I don't know which way to go/And I tried to run before but I'm not running anymore/Cuz I fought against it hard enough to know /That you love who you love who you love/You can't make ...

We're from Oakland and we love to get out to places around the Bay Area. Don't know Aptos well and are excited to explore!
Susie has completed online and offline ID verification.
Suzie was absolutely fantastic!!! Easy to communicate with and left the house immaculate. Would highly recommend Suzie to anyone!!!
Susie was an excellent guest. Communication went smoothly and she was always prompt with her replies. I didn't get a chance to meet her but we found out that we had been sitting at table next to each other at the Crossroads Cafe! I thought she looked familiar from her photo but couldn't place her... That's why! She had recognized me after they had left also. She was very appreciative of the accommodations and left the house in excellent condition. I'd definitely recommend her to other hosts and she is welcome back to stay again!
Susie was great as a tenant, respectful and easy to communicate with. I'd recommend her.

Top 10 Algorithms for Coding Interview
PDF Version (updated on 1/16/2014)
The following are top 10 algorithms related topics for coding interviews. As understanding those concepts requires much more effort, this list below only serves as an introduction. They are viewed from a Java perspective. The topics that are covered include: String/Array/Matrix, Linked List, Tree, Heap, Graph, Sorting, Recursion vs. Iteration, Dynamic Programming, Bit Manipulation, Probability, Combinations and Permutations, and other interesting problems. I highly recommend you to read "Simple Java" first, if you need a brief review of Java basics. If you want to see examples/projects using a library, you can use JavaSED.com.
1. String/Array/Matrix
First of all, String in Java is a class that contains a char array and other fields and methods. Without code auto-completion of any IDE, the following methods should be remembered.
toCharArray() //get char array of a String Arrays.sort() //sort an array Arrays.toString(char[] a) //convert to string charAt(int x) //get a char at the specific index length() //string length length //array size substring(int beginIndex) substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex) Integer.valueOf()//string to integer String.valueOf()/integer to string |
Strings/arrays are easy to understand, but questions related to them often require advanced algorithm to solve, such as dynamic programming, recursion, etc.
Classic problems:
1) Evaluate Reverse Polish Notation
2) Longest Palindromic Substring
3) Word Break
4) Word Ladder
5) Median of Two Sorted Arrays
6) Regular Expression Matching
7) Merge Intervals
8) Insert Interval
9) Two Sum
9) 3Sum
9) 4Sum
10) 3Sum Closest
11) String to Integer
12) Merge Sorted Array
13) Valid Parentheses
14) Implement strStr()
15) Set Matrix Zeroes
16) Search Insert Position
17) Longest Consecutive Sequence
18) Valid Palindrome
19) Spiral Matrix
20) Search a 2D Matrix
21) Rotate Image
22) Triangle
23) Distinct Subsequences Total
24) Maximum Subarray [Palantir]
25) Remove Duplicates from Sorted Array
26) Remove Duplicates from Sorted Array II
27) Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters
28) Longest Substring that contains 2 unique characters [Google]
29) Palindrome Partitioning
30) Reverse Words in a String
31) Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array
32) Find Peak Element
33) Min Stack
34) Majority Element
35) Combination Sum (DFS)
36) Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock
36) Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock II
36) Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock III (DP)
37) Longest Common Prefix [Google]
38) Largest Number
39) Combinations (DFS)
2. Linked List
The implementation of a linked list is pretty simple in Java. Each node has a value and a link to next node.
class Node { int val; Node next; Node(int x) { val = x; next = null; } } |
Two popular applications of linked list are stack and queue.
class Stack{ Node top; public Node peek(){ if(top != null){ return top; } return null; } public Node pop(){ if(top == null){ return null; }else{ Node temp = new Node(top.val); top = top.next; return temp; } } public void push(Node n){ if(n != null){ n.next = top; top = n; } } } |
class Queue{ Node first, last; public void enqueue(Node n){ if(first == null){ first = n; last = first; }else{ last.next = n; last = n; } } public Node dequeue(){ if(first == null){ return null; }else{ Node temp = new Node(first.val); first = first.next; return temp; } } } |
It is worth to mention that Java standard library already contains a class called "Stack", and LinkedList can be used as a Queue (add() and remove()). (LinkedList implements the Queue interface) If you need a stack or queue to solve problems during your interview, you can directly use them.
Classic Problems:
1) Add Two Numbers
2) Reorder List
3) Linked List Cycle
4) Copy List with Random Pointer
5) Merge Two Sorted Lists
6) Merge k Sorted Lists *
7) Remove Duplicates from Sorted List
8) Partition List
9) LRU Cache
10) Intersection of Two Linked Lists
3. Tree & Heap
Tree here is normally binary tree. Each node contains a left node and right node like the following:
class TreeNode{ int value; TreeNode left; TreeNode right; } |
Here are some concepts related with trees:
- Binary Search Tree: for all nodes, left children <= current node <= right children
- Balanced vs. Unbalanced: In a balanced tree, the depth of the left and right subtrees of every node differ by 1 or less.
- Full Binary Tree: every node other than the leaves has two children.
- Perfect Binary Tree: a full binary tree in which all leaves are at the same depth or same level, and in which every parent has two children.
- Complete Binary Tree: a binary tree in which every level, except possibly the last, is completely filled, and all nodes are as far left as possible
Heap is a specialized tree-based data structure that satisfies the heap property. The time complexity of its operations are important (e.g., find-min, delete-min, insert, etc). In Java, PriorityQueue is important to know.
Classic problems:
1) Binary Tree Preorder Traversal
2) Binary Tree Inorder Traversal
3) Binary Tree Postorder Traversal
4) Word Ladder
5) Validate Binary Search Tree
6) Flatten Binary Tree to Linked List
7) Path Sum
8) Construct Binary Tree from Inorder and Postorder Traversal
9) Convert Sorted Array to Binary Search Tree
10) Convert Sorted List to Binary Search Tree
11) Minimum Depth of Binary Tree
12) Binary Tree Maximum Path Sum *
13) Balanced Binary Tree
4. Graph
Graph related questions mainly focus on depth first search and breath first search. Depth first search is straightforward, you can just loop through neighbors starting from the root node.
Below is a simple implementation of a graph and breath first search. The key is using a queue to store nodes.
1) Define a GraphNode
class GraphNode{ int val; GraphNode next; GraphNode[] neighbors; boolean visited; GraphNode(int x) { val = x; } GraphNode(int x, GraphNode[] n){ val = x; neighbors = n; } public String toString(){ return "value: "+ this.val; } } |
2) Define a Queue
class Queue{ GraphNode first, last; public void enqueue(GraphNode n){ if(first == null){ first = n; last = first; }else{ last.next = n; last = n; } } public GraphNode dequeue(){ if(first == null){ return null; }else{ GraphNode temp = new GraphNode(first.val, first.neighbors); first = first.next; return temp; } } } |
3) Breath First Search uses a Queue
public class GraphTest { public static void main(String[] args) { GraphNode n1 = new GraphNode(1); GraphNode n2 = new GraphNode(2); GraphNode n3 = new GraphNode(3); GraphNode n4 = new GraphNode(4); GraphNode n5 = new GraphNode(5); n1.neighbors = new GraphNode[]{n2,n3,n5}; n2.neighbors = new GraphNode[]{n1,n4}; n3.neighbors = new GraphNode[]{n1,n4,n5}; n4.neighbors = new GraphNode[]{n2,n3,n5}; n5.neighbors = new GraphNode[]{n1,n3,n4}; breathFirstSearch(n1, 5); } public static void breathFirstSearch(GraphNode root, int x){ if(root.val == x) System.out.println("find in root"); Queue queue = new Queue(); root.visited = true; queue.enqueue(root); while(queue.first != null){ GraphNode c = (GraphNode) queue.dequeue(); for(GraphNode n: c.neighbors){ if(!n.visited){ System.out.print(n + " "); n.visited = true; if(n.val == x) System.out.println("Find "+n); queue.enqueue(n); } } } } } |
value: 4
Classic Problems:
1) Clone Graph
5. Sorting
Time complexity of different sorting algorithms. You can go to wiki to see basic idea of them.
Algorithm | Average Time | Worst Time | Space |
Bubble sort | n^2 | n^2 | 1 |
Selection sort | n^2 | n^2 | 1 |
Insertion sort | n^2 | n^2 | |
Quick sort | n log(n) | n^2 | |
Merge sort | n log(n) | n log(n) | depends |
* BinSort, Radix Sort and CountSort use different set of assumptions than the rest, and so they are not "general" sorting methods. (Thanks to Fidel for pointing this out)
Here are some implementations/demos, and in addition, you may want to check out how Java developers sort in practice.
1) Mergesort
2) Quicksort
3) InsertionSort.
6. Recursion vs. Iteration
Recursion should be a built-in thought for programmers. It can be demonstrated by a simple example.
there are n stairs, each time one can climb 1 or 2. How many different ways to climb the stairs?
Step 1: Finding the relationship before n and n-1.
To get n, there are only two ways, one 1-stair from n-1 or 2-stairs from n-2. If f(n) is the number of ways to climb to n, then f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2)
Step 2: Make sure the start condition is correct.
f(0) = 0;
f(1) = 1;
public static int f(int n){ if(n <= 2) return n; int x = f(n-1) + f(n-2); return x; } |
The time complexity of the recursive method is exponential to n. There are a lot of redundant computations.
f(4) + f(3)
f(3) + f(2) + f(2) + f(1)
f(2) + f(1) + f(2) + f(2) + f(1)
It should be straightforward to convert the recursion to iteration.
public static int f(int n) { if (n <= 2){ return n; } int first = 1, second = 2; int third = 0; for (int i = 3; i <= n; i++) { third = first + second; first = second; second = third; } return third; } |
For this example, iteration takes less time. You may also want to check out Recursion vs Iteration.
7. Dynamic Programming
Dynamic programming is a technique for solving problems with the following properties:
- An instance is solved using the solutions for smaller instances.
- The solution for a smaller instance might be needed multiple times.
- The solutions to smaller instances are stored in a table, so that each smaller instance is solved only once.
- Additional space is used to save time.
The problem of climbing steps perfectly fit those 4 properties. Therefore, it can be solve by using dynamic programming.
public static int[] A = new int[100]; public static int f3(int n) { if (n <= 2) A[n]= n; if(A[n] > 0) return A[n]; else A[n] = f3(n-1) + f3(n-2);//store results so only calculate once! return A[n]; } |
Classic problems:
1) Edit Distance
2) Longest Palindromic Substring
3) Word Break
4) Maximum Subarray
5) Palindrome Partitioning
8. Bit Manipulation
Bit operators:
OR (|) | AND (&) | XOR (^) | Left Shift (<<) | Right Shift (>>) | Not (~) |
1|0=1 | 1&0=0 | 1^0=1 | 0010<<2=1000 | 1100>>2=0011 | ~1=0 |
Get bit i for a give number n. (i count from 0 and starts from right)
public static boolean getBit(int num, int i){ int result = num & (1<<i); if(result == 0){ return false; }else{ return true; } } |
For example, get second bit of number 10.
1<<1= 10
10 is not 0, so return true;
Classic Problems:
1) Find Single Number
2) Maximum Binary Gap
9. Probability
Solving probability related questions normally requires formatting the problem well. Here is just a simple example of such kind of problems.
There are 50 people in a room, what's the probability that two people have the same birthday? (Ignoring the fact of leap year, i.e., 365 day every year)
Very often calculating probability of something can be converted to calculate the opposite. In this example, we can calculate the probability that all people have unique birthdays. That is: 365/365 * 364/365 * 363/365 * ... * 365-n/365 * ... * 365-49/365. And the probability that at least two people have the same birthday would be 1 - this value.
public static double caculateProbability(int n){ double x = 1; for(int i=0; i<n; i++){ x *= (365.0-i)/365.0; } double pro = Math.round((1-x) * 100); return pro/100; } |
calculateProbability(50) = 0.97
10. Combinations and Permutations
The difference between combination and permutation is whether order matters.
Example 1:
Given 5 numbers - 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, print out different sequence of the 5 numbers. 4 can not be the third one, 3 and 5 can not be adjacent. How many different combinations?
Example 2:
Given 5 banaba, 4 pear, and 3 apple, assuming one kind of fruit are the same, how many different combinations?
Class Problems:
1) Permutations
2) Permutations II
3) Permutation Sequence
4) Generate Parentheses
Some other problems need us to use observations to form rules to solve them:
1) Reverse Integer
2) Palindrome Number
3) Pow(x,n)
4) Subsets
5) Subsets II

Eyeseryl: Does Eyeseryl Work?
Eyeseryl Overview
Eyeseryl a patented ingredient that is manufactured by Lipotec andit is used in a number of anti-aging treatments. Eyeseryl is specifically designed to help reduce lines and wrinkles around the eye area while improving the look of dark circles and hyper-pigmentation in the area. There does not appear to be an official Eyeseryl website but the consumer can find out a lot about the substance from a number of independent sites. Some of these also include the results of clinical tests that have been performed on Eyeseryl where it proved successful in reducing under eye bags in 95% of testers when used regularly for 60 days.
Eyeseryl– Product Description
Eyeseryl is designed to help the body drain fluid more effectively. The technical name is an anti-oedema, and by improving the drainage, puffiness and bags are decreased, two conditions that are generally more noticeable upon waking up. The ingredient also works as a decongestant and can help improve the elasticity of the eye skin. A blend of the peptide Tetrapeptide and water, Eyeseryl is usually found blended into the formulas of certain brands of under eye creams.
The instructions for the application of Eyeseryl will differ from brand to brand, but it is likely to have to be used on a regular basis to achieve good results.
Eyeseryl – Advantage
- Customer before and after photos are provided
- Eyeseryl has been clinically tested
- Eyeseryl helps a number of aging skin conditions
- The substance is patented
- Eyeseryl is manufactured by a reputable company
Eyeseryl- Drawbacks
- The individual cost of Eyeseryl is not known
- There is no money back guarantee
- There is no official website
Eyeseryl-The Bottom Line
Any consumer purchasing a patented product can feel certain that it will have a positive effect. However, because Eyeseryl is not sold on its own, it is up to the consumer to opt for a brand of anti-aging eye cream that contains the substance and that preferably is offered at a reasonable price.
Top 10 Eye Creams
Also Remember These Dermatologist Recommended Important Tips:
- Age has nothing to do with the lines that appear on the corners of your eyes... it's a combination of heredity and careless abuse of the area.
- Skin is skin... it all needs to be cared for in one way or another. For my younger readers, this means not pulling on the skin when removing eye makeup.
- The eye area is prone to fine lines and wrinkles, so it is really important not over-work the area, squint, and stay away from smokey rooms. Your eyes won't like that either.
- One of the best ways to protect this area of your face is to put on a pair of sunglasses every single time you go outside spring, summer, fall and winter.
- There are very few oil glands in the eye area, so it can dry out very quickly, especially if you spend a great deal of time out of doors.
- When you chose an eye cream, be sure to choose one that is especially formulated for this delicate skin. Don't use a day cream that could be full of ingredients that will irritate this area. Too rich a cream can cause as many problems as ignoring the area.
**This is a subjective assessment based on the strength of the available information and our estimation of efficacy.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in most developed countries. Therefore, a need exists for its treatment. Considering the role that is played by bradykinin in pathogenesis of neuronal injury, it has been suggested that bradykinin antagonists may be useful in the treatment of neurological patients. As noscapine can act as an antagonist of bradykinin and can effectively reduce brain injury after hypoxic-ischemic insult in neonatal rats, the present work was carried out to investigate its effectiveness in a clinical setting.
Noscapine was administrated orally to ten acute ischemic stroke patients, and the degree of brain injury was evaluated by computed tomography scan and clinical observation. The control group (n=10) did not receive noscapine treatment.
Our study showed that noscapine effectively improved clinical prognosis and reduced the mortality rate down to 20% compared with 80% in the control group. Our patients did not show any specific side effects due to noscapine.
It is concluded that oral noscapine can be an effective drug for reducing the mortality rate in stroke; however, further study with a larger number of patients is needed to determine its full potential in stroke.

c.2011 New York Times News Service@
PARK CITY, Utah — Thirty years ago "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was riding high at the box office, and American independent filmmaking was still an anomalous pursuit rather than a community, a recognized passion, a mark of cool. That year Charles Burnett won prizes at the Berlin Film Festival and the US Film Festival for "Killer of Sheep" but was unable to secure an American distributor for that masterpiece. The US Festival moved from Salt Lake City to this Utah ski town and was soon taken over by the Sundance Institute, founded by Robert Redford to support independent filmmakers.
In the years since, the Sundance Film Festival, like the American independent film scene, was discovered by Hollywood, enduring good times and bad. Recently, though, as myriad movie-industry casualties can attest, the lows seemed to outnumber the highs, as several major studios either shut down or scaled back their art-house divisions, and smaller companies went up in smoke.
The old model of distribution, which allowed a landmark American independent like Jim Jarmusch's "Stranger Than Paradise" (1984) to find its audience slowly, began to disappear. Filmmakers turned to the Internet not only to sell their movies directly to the audience, but also for money and support. Crisis was the name of the game, and then suddenly it wasn't.
What happened? Put simply, filmmakers kept on making movies, if increasingly in affordable digital, and distributors, including new faces and studio veterans, found a way to put those moving pictures in front of the audience, both on the big screen and small. As it happens, viewers have developed a taste for noncorporate cinema. And despite the hard economic times they have continued to seek out movies like "Winter's Bone" and "The Kids Are All Right," two Sundance breakout titles from last year that went on to find public and critical love and recently picked up a few major Oscar nods. Times are still tough, but American independent cinema turns out to be a movement defined by stubborn true belief and survival.
It's impossible to know if the brisk sales this year were due to the new optimism or, as one distribution veteran suggested, a fear of missing out on the next "Winter's Bone." No film was as collectively adored as that 2010 favorite, but as title after title hit screens, the festival affirmed that independent cinema remains a pursuit of hearts and minds and not just a business opportunity or tabloid filler. With the crowds that sometimes gave Park City an unsettling frat house vibe now happily gone and the celebrity circus having pulled up stakes, both the streets and screens seemed newly revitalized and welcoming. Goodbye, Paris Hilton; hello, Brit Marling!
It's a sure bet that you will be reading more about Marling, a promising new talent and fashion-magazine-ready beauty who stars in and, with the director Mike Cahill, helped write "Another Earth." (She also stars in and helped write "Sound of My Voice," one of several movies here about cults.) A story about parallel alien worlds, those interpersonal as well as interplanetary, "Another Earth" centers on Rhoda (Marling), a bright young thing headed for MIT who, on the same night that a new planet called Earth 2 is discovered, plows her car into a family, killing a pregnant woman and her young child.
Four years later Rhoda emerges from prison and reaches out to another survivor: the husband she made a widower (William Mapother as John). Out of this initially unlikely relationship, one that strains at reality even as it feels true, Cahill and his appealing leads create a lived-in, absorbing world. For all the far-out space talk — true to its name, Earth 2 turns out to be a kind of mirror to the big blue marble where Rhoda has become somewhat of an alien presence — the movie has the delicate and rough texture of real life. Even as Earth 2 hovers next to the Moon, either as threat or promise, yet more mysteries remain on Earth 1.
There's a suggestion that the end might be nigh in "Another Earth," one of a large number of movies that, obliquely or directly, solemnly and sometimes irreverently, took on questions of faith. One such title is "Red State," a crude misfire about homophobia and religious fanaticism from Kevin Smith, that high-profile Sundance alumnus ("Clerks") turned one-man entertainment brand.
The story pivots on a trio of high-school boys who end up prisoners of an extremist religious sect that plans to eradicate homosexuality one cold body at a time. After warming up the story with his usual raunchy comedy, complete with the familiar gay-friendly jibes and sexist yuks, Smith loses his way amid a swamp of horror and action-flick cliches, all but turning the movie over to his charismatic villain (Michael Parks as the pastor).

Happy Mother's Day Newgrounds! :D
Offspring Fling is a game about a poor forest creature that has misplaced all of her children after an unfortunate run in with a dinosaur. She'll have to fight her way through over 100 levels of action puzzle platforming to get them all back home. There's danger around every corner, but she won't rest until her family is safe again.
This is just a quick 15 level preview of the game! There's over 100 levels in the final version of the game.
The full version of the game can be found at http://offspringfling.com
Thanks for playing! : )
Rated 4 / 5 stars
This is a good game, and I will definitely consider purchasing the full version.
However, there were some lag issues I had with the controls. Sometimes the movements didn't occur until about two or three seconds after I had already pressed the keys, which is annoying enough in the earlier levels, but absolutely unplayable when you start to encounter enemies (I suspect this is what some people meant when they said they kept dieing due to "horrible controls").
This aside, great job!
Hmm interesting, haven't seen any issues with the controls on the computers I've tested it on. Might be because of the web browser version maybe. Sorry about the trouble! Thanks for the feedback.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very entertaining game. It kept me playing for twenty minutes or so. I don't see the problems that the other people have with controls. If you're having issues with them, take the time during a level to just run around/jump up and down to figure out the timing.
Those rainbow flowers...wow, those are hard. I've only gotten one so far (aka I beat your time by .01 seconds :P) Was only able to do that after watching your character gain speed by quick-hopping off the roof of certain areas. What is "your destiny" if I may ask? I don't think I'll be able to get many, if any, more of those flowers.
Hey thanks for the feedback! I can't exactly reveal what "your destiny" is, but its something hidden away for the best of the best... ;)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very nice programming, great music, good difficulty and lovely art design.
I do find it odd that you are rescuing so many cubs when there weren't that many in the beginning, but I will suspend my disbelief.
There are some problems that I would like to address, first off all the music keeps playing when you pause the game, which can get slightly annoying, secondly there is no quick mute sound nor music, such a function would be nice. And though I love the art style you went with, it would be nice if the character and the cubs more clearly. Also the water looks shallow which tricked me a couple of times, but not really an issue.
Over all great game.
Thanks for your feedback! I missed out on a quick mute button, sorry 'bout that -- I ported the game to the browser rather quickly and forgot some of the "must have" features for the browser. : )
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Pretty nice game. Really cute. I love the art and concept. My only complaint really is that it's reaaaally irritating to not be able to jump with the up arrow. It really hampers the fluidity of the controls.
Hm surprising amount of people want to jump with the up arrow... personally I hate jumping with the up arrow in games so that's why I didn't do that. You can customize your controls through in the options menu (the gear button on the bottom right of the screen) Thanks for the feedback.

Press release from Business Wire
Western Union & Better Business Bureau Partner to Protect Consumers from Emergency Scams
Thursday, July 11, 2013
Western Union & Better Business Bureau Partner to Protect Consumers from Emergency Scams
10:56 EDT Thursday, July 11, 2013ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (Business Wire) -- The Western Union Company (NYSE: WU), a leader in global payment services, and Better Business Bureau (BBB) today announced efforts to promote awareness of emergency scams, in which victims are told that their loved one is traveling and needs help. Scammers make urgent pleas for the victim to send money, often to another country. More people travel during the summer, and whenever people are vulnerable, fraudsters will generally attack.
BBB Scam Stopper was jointly launched by BBB and Western Union as a site to help consumers reduce their chances of becoming a victim of a scam. Visitors can sign up to receive BBB Scam Alerts, weekly emails with details on the latest scams reported to BBBs across North America.
"Emergency scams play off peoples' emotions and strong desire to help friends and family in need," said Shelley Berhnardt, Director of Consumer Protection at Western Union. "Verify the emergency and resist the urge to act immediately, no matter how dramatic the story is."
Con artists hack into email or social media accounts and target the victim's friends and family with frantic requests for money. They impersonate the traveler and claim to have an injury, a lost or stolen wallet, or even say they were arrested. Scammers use the information in these accounts to supply enough personal detail to make their requests appear legitimate.
"The stories are extremely plausible, and many scammers have done their research," said Carrie A. Hurt, president and CEO of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. "But you should never send money for an emergency situation without verifying that it's a real emergency. Always check out the story with other family and friends, even if you've been told to keep it a secret."
Information on scams and how to protect yourself is also available at Western Union's Consumer Protection Center: http://www.westernunion.com/stopfraud.

Together with its Vigo, Orlandi Valuta, Pago Facil and Western Union Business Solutions branded payment services, Western Union provides consumers and businesses with fast, reliable and convenient ways to send and receive money around the world, to send payments and to purchase money orders.

iOS 6: iTunes, App Store, and iBooks all remodeled
One of my most-used apps on the iPhone is actually the App Store app itself -- I download lots and lots of different apps for review, and I constantly need to search around and find information on apps for posts. So I'm excited to see that all three of Apple's major content stores on iOS have been updated for iOS 6: iTunes' music and movies store, the App Store itself, and even the iBookstore have all been updated for the new OS.
The most obvious change at first will likely be the slight color change: The top and bottom bars in each store are now a darker gray. And there is more information listed more clearly in each store. In the App Store app, each app now shows a screenshot along with the price and title, and you swipe from left to right to browse through the apps in search, rather than just seeing a big list. iTunes looks different as well, and you can now buy apps and content without getting kicked out of the app completely.
These changes are all fairly small -- mostly just simple UI tweaks or ease-of-use updates. But they should make buying and finding content on these stores easier, especially for those of us who end up using them often.
Software Updates
more updates- Apple Remote Desktop updated with Yosemite support
- OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, iOS 8.1.3 updates now available
- Sports Illustrated 120 SPORTS channel comes to Apple TV
- Logic Pro X update brings AirDrop support, new effects, tools, and more
- Parallels Access 2.5 released, adds file manager, computer-to-computer remote access
- The Google Translate iOS app is about to get a lot smarter

There was also an older version from Agfa named Delphian CG but I can't find any legitimate source to acquire it.
EDIT: It's also available from Monotype in both Windows & Mac Postscript format
I found it using Find my Font - http://www.findmyfont.com
Thank you so much for identifying the font ... and for sharing your source. Your help is appreciated.

Othello (Quarto 1, 1622)
Enter Iago and Roderigo.
5That you Iago, who has had my purse,
7Iag. S'blood, but you will not heare me,
If euer I did dreame of_such a matter, abhorre me.
14Oft capt to him, and by the faith of man,
15I know my price, I am worth no worse a place.
16But he, as louing his owne pride and purposes,
18Horribly stuft with Epithites of warre:
18.1And in conclusion,
20I haue already chosen my officer, and what was he?
21Forsooth, a great Arithmetition,
22One Michael Cassio, a Florentine,
23A fellow almost dambd in a faire wife,
25Nor the deuision of a Battell knowes,
30And I, of whom his eyes had seene the proofe,
31At Rhodes, at Cipres, and on other grounds,
33By Debitor and Creditor, this Counter-caster:
34: He in good time, must his Leiutenant be,
36Rod. By heauen I rather would haue bin his hangman.
37Ia. But there's no remedy,
39Preferment goes by letter and affection,
40Not by the olde gradation, where each second
41Stood heire to the first:
Now sir be iudge your selfe,
43to loue the Moore.
44Rod. I would not follow him then.
46I follow him to serue my turne vpon him,
49Many a dutious and knee-crooking knaue,
50That doting on his owne obsequious bondage,
52For noughe but prouender, and when hee's old cashierd,
54Others there are, who trimd in formes,
And vissages of duty, keepe yet their hearts,
55Attending on themselues, and throwing
57Doe well thriue by 'em,
58And when they haue lin'd their coates,
59Doe themselues homage,
62It is as sure as you are Roderigo,
63Were I the Moore, I would not be Iago:
64In following him, I follow but my selfe.
65Heauen is my iudge, not I,
For loue and duty, but seeming so,
66For my peculiar end.
67For when my outward action does demonstrate
68The natiue act, and figure of my heart,
69In complement externe, tis not long after,
70But I will weare my heart vpon my sleeue,
71For Doues to pecke at,
I am not what I am.
72Rod. What a full fortune does the thicklips owe,
73If he can carry'et thus?
74Ia. Call vp her father,
77And tho he in a fertile climate dwell,
78Plague him with flyes: tho that his ioy be ioy,
79Yet throw such changes of vexation out,
82Ia. Doe with like timerous accent, and dire yell,
83As when by night and negligence, the fire
84Is spied in populous Citties.
85Rod. What ho, Brabantio; Seignior Brabantio, ho,
86Ia. Awake, what ho, Brabantio,
Theeues, theeues, theeues:
87Looke to your house, you Daughter, and your bags.
88Theeues, theeues.
Brabantio at a window.
Brab. What is the reason of this terrible summons?
90What is the matter there?
91Rod. Seignior, is all your family within?
92Ia. Are all doore lockts?
93Brab. Why, wherefore aske you this?
96Euen now, very now, an old blacke Ram
98Awake the snorting Citizens with the Bell,
103Bra. Not I, what are you?
104Rod. My name is Roderigo.
106I haue charg'd thee, not to haunt about my dores,
108My daughter is not for thee, and now in madnes,
110Vpon malicious brauery, dost thou come
111To start my quiet?
114My spirit and my place haue them in power,
115To make this bitter to thee.
118My house is not a graunge.
123we are Ruffians, youle haue your daughter couered with a Barbary
125for Cousens, and Iennits for Iermans.
127Bra. What prophane wretch art thou?
129Moore, are now making the Beast with two backs.
131Iag. You are a Senator.
153For this delusion.
154Bra. Strike on the tinder, Ho:
155Giue me a taper, call vp all my people:
156This accident is not vnlike my dreame,
158Light I say, light.
163How euer this may gaule him with some checke,

An alien race from the Voltron and Dairugger XV franchises. Their homeworld has been virtually made uninhabitable by pollution leading them to aggressively try to claim new worlds, which in turn often puts them at odds with human colonists and other aliens. |
Forced Combat
A concept where people are forced to fight against their will against an opponent or opponents who are sometimes also fighting against their will. Usually done under the threat of death, and for the entertainment of morally corrupt individuals. |
The giant robot/monster villains of the Voltron and Dairugger XV franchises. A robeast modeled after King Zarkon himself was even made. |
A concept where one person is treated like the property of another, sometimes legally recognized as such in the eyes of the government as well. This concept applies to both those who have been enslaved and those who have "owned" a slave. In most cases the slave is a protagonist who rebels. |

When I try to insert an image (PNG at 72dpi) using Prawn, like this:
image "#{Rails.root}/public/images/pdf/logo.png"
Prawn inserts the image but scales it up by about 30% which makes it blurry (and bigger.) I dont have anything else in the file and the PDF initialization is fairly standard:
super(:page_layout => :portrait,
:left_margin => 0.5.in,
:right_margin => 0.5.in,
:top_margin => 1.in,
:bottom_margin => 0.5.in)
Based on the documentation, Prawn is supposed to insert the picture into the document without any modifications whatsoever. Why is this image resizing happening?
NOTE: I noticed that bounding boxes are also bigger than they should be (by the same ratio as my image).

Ohio Won't Withhold School Funding For Those Skipping Tests
Ohio's superintendent says the state won't withhold funding to penalize schools for students opting out of standardized tests this year.
Listen to the Story
I've lived in Columbus since 1975. When I arrived, the only real "culture" this town had was the Ohio State Fair, ladies night (Monday night at Max and Erma's) and the occasional Woody Hayes temper tantrum. This town has grown so much that you might not recognize it if you moved away for a few years.
Downtown has seen a lot of change. It was once bustling with the Neil House, Lazarus, Sun Television and many restaurants. But the central city started to fade.
In the early 80s, city leaders pushed to revitalize the downtown. We first had an ice rink called the Centrum which was a government idea to build something to create some excitement downtown.
Somehow the metaphor of people skating around in circles fit this project.
Then came a bigger idea. A mall. City Center, the supposed crown jewel. The center of the Universe.
At first it was a jewel, with Gucci, Jacobsen's, Lazarus, Marshall Fields.
Well, the mall failed too. Like everything else, market forces, a change in gravity with people flocking to the burbs after work and a few shootings changed the picture for the once hailed City Center.
Now as I drive downtown to get a sandwich at my favorite deli (I'm not telling which one), I see where we have our own version of Central Park — a $20 million playground with trees, walkways and once again other "amusements" to try and get people to come downtown.
Some call it greenspace. I call it a "hole." Note to Mayor Coleman: we are in Ohio. We don't lack parks and green spaces.
Who cares if it cost $15 million tear down the other boondoggle that was created so that we can have central park without museums, history, grand hotels, Woody Allen movies, etc.
Even though the park is paid for by federal money, you and I pay for this kind of wasteful spending. I suspect that one day many years from now some genius is going to propose that the park be torn out to be replaced with the world's largest replica of Stonehenge.
So, what does Stonehenge have to do with Columbus, Ohio? The answer, of course, is the same as a central park. We can use "son of heaven" posters, Centrum skates, and some ruins of the mall that was once there to create this. It will be a perfect compliment to the replica of the Santa Maria.
Mayors sometimes have grandiose ideas, but Mayor Coleman seems to have money burning a hole in his pocket. He has what I am now calling "democratrackitis." Loosely defined as the obsession with building trains and/or trolleys, that people don't need or want that go to and from places.
Columbus imposed an income tax increase fairly recently. The extra half percent is burning a hole in his pocket. The new tax money was supposed to pay for everything that we absolutely "have to have." We need to have police and firefighters, a few other services, but in reality whatever money government collects will be spent — even if it is not necessary. Mayor Coleman, if you plan to keep spending like most politicians do, then I have a few ideas.
I would like an ocean. Not a really big one, but a nice ocean, with waves, maybe some clams, dolphins.
Some mountains would be nice as well.
No deserts please. I don't like scorpions and snakes.
Every day you hear the cry from left of center pundits, "Tax the rich! Tax the rich!" Why? So that we can get more ice skating rinks with no ice skaters, downtown parks in a state that is mostly rural? Malls in places where people don't want to shop?
Note to our future mayors. If you want to build Stonehenge replicas downtown over the future decrepit, useless park that we now have, how about just a picture instead?

PCR Protocol
Research and DevelopmentBackground on Disease Markers Heterotaxty, (Hetero-different) (taxy-arrangement), syndrome is the most common birth defect that primary occurs in the heart. This syndrome is caused by the mutated gene, ZIC3. The reference number for this syndrome is rs104894962. This disease can also occur in other organs but it is less likely. With this syndrome, organs that are paired together have a mirror image of each other instead of having their own charcterstics. Other organs can also be arranged in a different order requiring major surgeries to aline the organs correctly. In some cases, organs or body parts may work incorrectly causing irregularity, worse infections, more recovery time, or lack of functioning correctly. This is not the only kind of the Heteotaxy however. As previously stated, the more common defects are located in the heart. Since most of the defects occur at birth, there is a varying type and severity. When the syndrome involves the heart, it is mainly because the heart sits to the right side of the chest instead of the left side. Web Link - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=104894962
The sequence for the heterotaxy disease allele is CCTACACGCACCCGAGCTCCCTGCGC [A/G] AACACATGAAGGTAATTACCCCTTT, with the mutation occurring at the [A/G] site. When the A gene is expressed, the mutation occurs and heterotaxy is coded. When the G gene is expressed, there is no mutation and the gene expression is normal. Forward primer sequence (position 136,651,203 – 136,651,223, read left-right): TCCCTGCGCAAACACATGAA Reverse primer sequence (200 base pairs to the right, read right-left): TCCCAACTTTGCTCACTCCC A heterotaxy disease allele will show a PCR product because the disease allele will be amplified many times through the course of the chain reaction. Because a non-disease allele will not have a mutated expression of the A gene, it will not yield a PCR product and will instead amplify the healthy allele expression.
