An Interesting take on Nintendo not Holding a Major Press Conference at E3
Thomas Whitehead over at NintendoLife.com has a very well written, and interesting take on Nintendo shaking things up at E3. Check it out below.
So here's how the E3 game is supposed to be played by the three major game manufacturers. They appear at E3, talk up how exciting it's going to be, and then hold a high-profile press conference that's viewed by thousands of gamers before being mercilessly dissected. At that point senior figures conduct interviews to talk up what was revealed, and much debate is had about who "won E3″, with a focus typically on those three major press conferences. That's the game, and Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony are all supposed to play it.
Except Nintendo has decided not to play. If this was a playground, Nintendo would be saying "I'm taking my ball over here instead, and I'm going to bounce it and kick it however I want", as Microsoft and Sony go back to some enthusiastic arm-wrestling. Satoru Iwata informed investors, and those of us snooping at the President's Presentation targeted at those moneyed men and women, that Nintendo would instead host its own smaller events, meetings and presentations:
At the E3 show this year, we are planning to host a few smaller events that are specifically focused on our software lineup for the U.S. market. There will be one closed event for American distributors, and we will hold another closed hands-on experience event, for mainly the Western gaming media. Also, I did not speak at last year's presentation, and I am not planning to speak at these events at the E3 show this year either.
Apart from these exclusive events for visitors, we are continuing to investigate ways to deliver information about our games directly to our home audience around the time of E3. We will share more information about them once they have officially been decided.
During the E3 period, we will utilize our direct communication tools, such as Nintendo Direct, to deliver information to our Japanese audience, including those who are at this financial briefing, mainly focusing on the software that we are going to launch in Japan, and we will take the same approach outside Japan for the overseas fans as well.
Check out the rest of the article on NintendoLife.com
– Their user base seems to be split. A lot of people want Nintendo continue doing Nintendo Directs and have a large scale press conference. It seems like most of you guys think it's a good idea to forgo the big conference and focus on other ways to engage consumers.
Either way, a lot of people are going to be looking at what Nintendo does at this year's E3.

I'm Mixed on this decision on that Nintendo isn't doing a major press conference. I can see why people are not happy Nintendo not doing a press conference and that it will hurt spreading the word about the wii-u. but at the same time im not that disappointed as long as new nintendo games are shown like smash bros 4 and a new 3D Mario game. because in reality i want to see new games announced and release dates for many of games everybody wants know about. So i think the Nintendo Direct will do just that and have a very long presentation showing off the new games and trailers for nintendo fans. Yes i know only hardcore Nintendo fans watch the Nintendo Direct and that's fine. why?. because internet sites like IGN and Gamespot and Machinima and Gametrailers will cover the new games nintendo is releasing this year and people will know about. If you're a gamer you want to know everything on whats going on in the gaming industry. You dont need an event like E3 to know what games are coming out. and i think people are getting overblown that the fact that nintendo is not doing a traditional E3 major press conference. Look at Sony when they announced the PS4 back at February . They didn't need to host their own event but they did. Now look at Microsoft with their own Xbox event coming in May. Yes their still having a press conference in E3 but they have a good reason. Their both releasing new Hardware and everybody wants to know about the features, specs and most importantly price. All i'm saying is that Microsoft and Sony also do their thing just like Nintendo so i hope some people calm down and understand its not the end for nintendo for doing something different like not hosting an E3 press conference.
I think the worst thing about this whole thing is it has brought the Nintendo is doomed crowd out in full force. I just watched a video on youtube talking about the positive and negatives of it in a fair unbiased way.
…Then I scrolled down and looked at some of the comments and was reminded of the massive amount of ignorance on youtube. So many people saying Nintendo is doomed. People saying Microsoft and Sony are the only ones who innovate. That just blows my mind when I hear people say that. Their main thing every time is just make the graphics better. As far as I'm concerned Nintendo are the true innovators, taking chances on coming up with new ways to play games, then everyone follows suit when they realize it's successful. Somebody was saying he won't pay $500 for the dumbest console ever made that only has one good game (NSMB). As if Nintendo are not going to make any more games for it, and they are shopping at some crazy place selling Wii U's for $500. One guy was saying that Nintendo themselves stated that they are in massive debt, and can't afford to make a system as powerful as the PS4. Which obviously is just plain wrong, they just had the most successful console and handheld of last generation, have tons of money in the bank, and could just do what Sony and MS are doing, but choose to differentiate themselves from the competition. All kinds of people were saying the Wii was a massive failure. Since when is outselling all the competition considered a failure? I don't know where the hell people come up with this shit. Makes me think people actually do listen to the crap Pachter says.
Did Nintendo kick a puppy to garner that much hate? Reading a comment section, besides this one, of any website is just depressing. Hell one time and this is true, the comment section was so bad, I didn't go on the internet for one day. It was that bad. I wonder what store they would be going to have Wii U's sell that high because that is ridiculous. If anything, Nintendo played it smart in the 7th gen by opting for a low powered system because they knew they were not ready for HD consoles while Sony and Microsoft have taken a hit from HD. And when Nintendo finally had an HD console, the doomed crowd hated it and continured. If Nintendo kicked their puppy, it was probably scrappy doo (obscure reference ftw).
Well, to be fair I've wanted to kick Scrappy Doo since I was a kid. I used to get so pissed when an episode came on that had Scrappy Doo in it, he'd just ruin the whole episode. I love animals, but if Nintendo kicked Scrappy Doo, I would applaud them for it. LOL.
Yeah, I know I should stay away from comment sections on many sites, especially on youtube, some people can be so cruel, or show such an extreme lack of intelligence.
This might get out of hand but If Scrappy doo came onto a Nintendo Direct wearing a "I hate Nintendo" T shirt, saying that trademark phrase "Puppy Power" and Iwata backhands him into the wall, that would be the single most badass thing ever. But that is getting out of hand. The sheer stupidity of Youtube comment sections would make an interesting college lecture.
Don't worry. They'll be singing a different tune by this Christmas. Let those fools enjoy it while they can…
The internet sucks. I really get the feeling that most of the people who make comments like that aren't old enough to remember playing the NES or Atari as a kid. At best PSX.N64, but more likely PS2/Xbox….teens, possibly some in their 20's, but clearly no level headed rational adults. When they say that Sony or MS are the ones who innovate, I like to read off this little list of things Nintendo brought to home console gaming (other than saving the industry itself of course)
Start/Select buttons, D-pad, Saved games (for crying out loud), analog control stick, camera controls in a game, rumble, peripherals (Light Gun, Super Scope), motion gaming (bringing up the NES Power Glove when they say Sony made it with the Eyetoy), portable gaming (not home console gaming, but it bares mentioning), Episodic downloadable games (Famicom Stellaview), 2 screen gaming (GBA/Gamecube link cable, maybe something before that even, and of course DS), Shoulder buttons, Wireless controllers,…..who innovates again?
I could go into a whole thing talking about all the points you mentioned….but I'm just not feelin it. I agree with you, people are dumb. haha
Hi, First Time.
Nintendo has a bigger issue at E3 than just game announcements. They have to deal with distribution (retailers), analysts (finance guys) and media (press) about the concern with the WiiU. As that console is flopping badly at the moment and that people need to wait until after the second Holiday season to determine its place in the home console market.
Nintendo need to focus on controlling the message of WiiU throughout E3. Can Nintendo do that is going to the question? The answer or results is after E3 occus.
That's why I see Nintendo's E3 strategy as a smart move. Instead of giving the usual single press conference that talks to everyone at the same time, they are dividing it up.
Everyone gets exactly what they want out of E3 directly from Nintendo. Gamers get games without all of the sales and marketing fluff that they don't care about. The press is getting one on one time with Nintendo, hands-on demos in a smaller press conference that isn't being streamed, before the show starts and without the public booth issues (lines, time…dumb people). Business partners (investors, analysts, retailers, distributors etc) will be shown games that will increase the appeal of the system, but will mostly talk sales and marketing strategy and how Nintendo plans to move 6m units (9m cumulatively) over the next year and other business stuff…..they care less about "Look at this awesome trailer! and more about "We are going to bundle Mario Kart with the Deluxe Wii U for $329!"
It is interesting that you say the console is "flopping badly". Yes sales fell off a cliff when there weren't any games, but overall it isn't doing all that poorly. Nintendo has moved 3.45m units in 4.5 months. Granted, that is "shipped" but they have gotten their money from those units. Retailers don't take a chunk of the money they earn from sales and ship it off to Nintendo, they pay for a quantity of units at a discount that would give them their profits once sold. The Xbox 360 had a lead over the other two consoles of somewhere between 6.9-7.6m units from what I can find (sources vary wildly). so the Wii U is right around the halfway mark in less than 6 months on the market.
I see it more as a fish out of water type scenario. Everything was going fine until something unexpected happened and now the console is hopping around, still alive but trying to find its way back to where it can thrive. The unexpected circumstance was EA actively pulling and cannibalizing support and Ubisoft getting scared. People claim that Nintendo "needs" third party support, so they got it and gave 3rd parties what they wanted, which was room to breathe away from the crushingly dominant sales of their first party titles. 3rd parties didn't hold their end of the deal, which led to where we are today.
You should usually wait until after at LEAST the second holiday season to determine the console's place in the market, especially when the competitors aren't out yet. If the first 5 months of the 360 determined how it would ultimately perform, it would be sitting just about where/below where the Wii U is now. The PS3 would have been a massive failure, which simply isn't the case.
People had a very poor outlook on the 3DS and Nintendo managed to get that fish back in the water and now it is absolutely dominating everything else on the market. I believe they are fully capable of doing just that for the Wii U. E3 is going to be huge, so I'm glad there is little over a month (!!!) until we find out what's in store. Nintendo's franchises in HD for the first time? It's going to be hard even for the most dissuaded to resist.
Welcome to the site! Don't worry I comment like this all the time, it's not just you, haha.
Great article you made.
I plan to have another one out sometime before the next Xbox reveal, so look out for that. I'll have my realistic predictions for each company at E3, and probably a few "out there" predictions too.
Mostly I hate like other website bash wii u, give no praise about it, for me I love the wii u alot I hope they announce more games or dates.
not trying be fangirl, I love nintendo and sony.
I agree with both of these statements. Other sites generally bash the Wii U and Nintendo in general. IGN for instance had "No E3 Conference for Nintendo" as a headline, which is misleading. Nintendo is having a press conference, it just isn't going to be anything like the others. It's a smaller gathering with hands-on demos and won't be streamed on the internet.
During the Wii U game drought, hardly any site was reporting on the many indie developers announcing games and praising Nintendo for their indie-friendly approach. IGN (again) had a developer commentary for NFS that was very positive, but never posted it on the front page, they only put it on the Wii U page. Other developer commentaries get posted around twice on the main page.
My article: http://playeressence.com/the-wii-u-might-be-getti… was posted on N4G and there were lots of comments that were bashing it and the Wii U seemingly for no reason other than they don't like Nintendo. As you can see by the comments there, it is getting very positive remarks, and I believe it is close to 2,000 total views.
No worries, Nintendo will absolutely be making announcements of games and release dates. W101 is supposed to be out before the end of June, Retro's game was supposed to be shown at last year's E3, Smash Bros will be shown, Mario and Mario Kart will be given release windows (that Nintendo is likely to meet), Wind Waker will probably be given a date, there will likely be a few surprises too.
I grew up with Nintendo, but I also have a 360, a PS3, and plan on getting a PS4 eventually. Nintendo gets far more hate than they should, especially considering if they didn't exist, neither would the game industry.
Man, E3 is getting closer & closer. Every time you turn around, Nintendo keeps on surprising us with new plans & ideas.
I hope this new strategy works for them.
I think a Nintendo Direct E3 Special would blow a regular E3 conference out of the water & its just getting me more excited. -
Man. I honestly cannot wait for E3 now. This one's going in the history books. Two new consoles and Nintendo's rogue-like approach. I get that people are worried about the change, but how can you not be excited about this year? The last half of 2013 on to 2014 is gonna be crazy.
Never been a fan of sites like NintendoLife, and MyNintendoNews. The communities there are just awful places to be. I'm also not a fan of the articles these places put up to attract trolls for clicks, and hits. With that said, he did bring up an "interesting" interpretation of this situation.
Like I've said before, in my opinion E3 is irrelevant, and it has been for years. I've found that many people who are still hanging on to E3 to be traditionalists. They want a conference, because thats the way it's always been. Personally though, I'd rather have short meaningful Nintendo Directs than one long conference full of business malarkey.
Companies are realizing that they can use the net to get their messages out more cost efficiently. Instead of having to rely on press, and throwing business circuses.
Nintendolife isn't as bad as MyNintendoNews or WiiUdaily but the chatter between the "fans" can still get bad…I should know since I signed up on Nintendolife.
So far this is the only gaming based website I've found that I feel is worth posting on. We have a small community, but we all pretty much all know each other, and thats cool. It's kind of like being part of a family. Francis does a great job with the site, and he's one of the few people in the gaming media that I feel has integrity.
He doesn't allow trolls to come to the site, and then ignore it so that he can get more clicks from arguments. Nor does post troll articles that will create arguments. It's a very positive community, and I'd like to think that while we all are sure to have different opinions on a number of subjects. We're all still friends here. In an internet gaming community, thats unheard of.
Yeah, I think I am going to stop posting as Guest and sign up soon!
Go for it, we'd all be glad to have you!
Just did! I am the guest! Pleasure to be on board Francis! :3
A positive gaming community? Better put a stop to that! *ignorant comment* *Ignorant comment* *flaming* *trolling*
Even though the community is still small, I have noticed it growing recently. I feel like the thumbs up system works pretty well too and I rarely see downvoted comments. Not sure who it was, but I saw someone mention how level headed we all are on that EA article. Even though EA blows chunks generally (Dante's Inferno was pretty sweet imo), we don't think that the employees are terrible people that need to be layed off. On other sites it pretty much is *ignorant comment* and so forth.
We all may have our disagreements, but it never flies off into raging arguments. It kind of reflects on the industry as a whole. The big sites are full of just…..fools to put it nicely….who think that their opinion is the law of the land and their company is the best thing ever while others should just give up. They take joy in the misfortunes of others. The bigger games also have all sorts of trolls and whiny fanboys and children who scream obscenities because you beat them in a match. It's ridiculous!
There is no reason why we can't all just be tolerant and enjoy what we enjoy while others do the same and that's what we do here. As the site grows, hopefully it keeps up. I comment far more often here than I used to on IGN and I barely visit there anymore. Really IGN used to be okay……then the Wii fell off and the Wii U happened. Now it's a cesspool, even among the staff.
I agree, IGN is one of the worst gaming sites IMO. That site is just full of trolls(Even the Staff are Trolls lol).
Seriously. I made the mistake of watching part of their NVC vidcasts discussing the 3DS announcements, and everything was going fine until one guy started talking about LttP2 being a rehash and so on. Then they jumped on the Wii U for not being 100% perfect right out of the box…..while the 360 was plagued with issues as was the PS3 (YLOD and that price tag, and the very frequent SKU revisions). Audrey was the only one not flying off the handle and blindly bashing things, but still admitted to the faults.
Being Nintendo's first step into HD, they have done a great job. The speed update came out 5 months after the console released while MS didn't even acknowledge RROD for a long time and didn't actually fix the problem for 3 whole years. THAT is messed up. The "NXE" has made the system slower….mine takes over a minute to a minute and a half to boot up….the OG 360 was never that bad. Wii U marketing has been abysmal and the drought could have been avoided, but there were never "promises" as they suggested, only plans. Plans can be broken as things outside of their control happen.
LttP2 is a rehash….excuse me I have to find a desk to facedesk. From the trailer, it looked different from the first one by oh idk..the paper link, the magic meter being refilled, the new level designs..hello? Ign, I gave up on them a long time ago when they did the review of Sonic Unleashed in the most blatant misinformation of Critique ever. Now that I hear, they are just Asshat Pachter and Blackbond on steroids: Trolling for the sake of tears. Oh yeah when Sony or Microsoft and in some cases Valve fuck up, we forgive them but when Nintendo fucks up, its like WW3. Yes, we all hold Nintendo to a higher standard and I will admit, they are not perfect but when there is some bullshit, we have to call it out. Xbox and its RROD, Sony and the PSN Debacle, and Valve for even allowing War Z to come back on Steam. Selective Outrage much.
He probably just saw that the overworld was the same and was like, "REHASH!"……it's a sequel set in the same world, why should it be different? The dungeons aren't the same and they will help showcase the 3D that many developers seem to mostly chuck in because they can. It's actually kind of similar to the Wii U situation in that Nintendo will be showing ideas with the gamepad that no one else thought of or cared enough to implement. They will show that the "hook" for their system is viable and can be used extremely well. Niintendo had it out of the gate with the Wii and Wii Sports, but relied too heavily on third parties (that people said they "needed") for the 3DS and Wii U.
I understand WHY they picked Moriarty to do the Castlevania review since he is a big fan of the series, but he couldn't leave his expectations at the door. That is rule #1 for journalists of any kind, leave out the bias…..I know that and I wasn't even a journalism student. For a movie or game I am super hyped about, I leave all of that behind when it starts. Same goes for games that get bashed like crazy….Alone in the Dark is regarded by most to be this horrendous game that should be avoided at all costs. I still bought it, and I enjoyed it actually. Some things weren't the best, but I still had fun playing it.
IGN overall has shown their incredible bias during the Wii U drought. Instead of posting all of the positive press indies were giving Nintendo, praising them and announcing games….IGN ignored it all. They had a developer commentary about NFS in which the developer said that he loved the Wii U and that "it punches well above it's weight" for how much power it draws, praises the system for what it can do. IGN doesn't post it on the front page, at all. Other dev commentary videos get posted at least once, maybe up to 3 times with different headlines to draw more clicks.
People were certainly outraged over the PSN screw up and the $599 price tag, but does anyone mention it anymore? No, they praise Sony for PS plus and for their "supercharged PC" (that is weaker than current dedicated gaming pc's now). Yet Nintendo has a console that sells slowly after a couple months (3.45m in 4.5 months is nothing to scoff at, it's around half the 360's lead even) and it's straight to, "It's the Gamecube all over again!!!! Nintendo is DOOOOOM3D1!!!"
Get real, folks.
Ricard, have you been looking at my list for games we played? I have played Alone in the Dark and Projared summed it up. A game with great ideas but had many flaws behind it. IGN is full of trolls and now that joke is becoming a reality. Can't Spell Ignorant without IGN. And I think you summed it up well, or someone else did I believe: IF its shiny, people will buy it. Also have you heard anything about Iwata's comments. Basically he was going over some business talk but one section about the Wii U made me…well…is smile the right word. Here it is:
to fix this by creating a situation in which third parties not currently actively supporting Wii U will regret that decision once third parties that did support it start to produce hits on the system.
He could've worded it like "We will show third parties that the Wii U is a nice system for them" but he went all bad ass on it. I don't think Iwata is, Ironically, not playing any games anymore.
Yeah, I saw that comment from Iwata…..sounds like revenge mode to me, almost like he is confirming the EA bull. Those Nintendo Ninja's are out for blood, haha.
I don't think he is referring simply to things like Watch Dogs or Splinter Cell either. Probably more along the lines of W101 and Bayonetta, with possibly some surprises. Exclusives.
Watch Dogs and Splinter Cell are great wins for Nintendo, and I plan on picking up at least Watch Dogs on the Wii U, but I don't know if they are the kind of thing that will make other third parties "regret not support[ing]" the system because they will be massive hits on the Wii U. The Wii U install base can only grow and it is already about halfway to where the 360 was with its lead. I fully believe Iwata knows about at least 1 exclusive that is going to be a surprise and will be a hit. Okami news is supposed to break next week, and the Wii version sold better than the PS2 version after all….
The way Nintendo words things overall can be quite mysterious at times. Reggie said that "…as we prepare for E3, the pace of launches for Wii U is going to dramatically increase." In the interview he had just talked about the 3DS having new games over the next nine months, so why would he say the Wii U thing that way? He could have said "after E3" or "over the course of the year", but he didn't.
Granted, he could be referring to the games coming out in May mostly. RE:Revelations, Fast&Furious, Sniper Elite V2, LEGO DC 2, Deus Ex, eShop whatevers and VC titles. W101 and Wii Fit are both still Q2 titles though and I feel like with all of the media coverage they have been giving, they would have announced if they were delayed.
Yeah Nintendo is kinda weird in that sense. One minute you can be talking about something, next thing, Nintendo throws a curveball, sometimes bad, but other times awesome. There was this list going around with a bunch of titles being set up in the fall so he could've been referring to that. Or I can just stop speculating because its hurting my head lol. But Iwata is definitely out for blood. And about that Okami news, I believe it is going to be an Okami game announced for the Wii U given that the sequel did sell good. And often, when it comes to Nintendo, Capcom doesn't fuck around (Well except for Mega Man Legends 3, still pissed capcom). If they are going to do Okami, I wonder what other mythology they could do with the series. ( wouldn't mind egypt cause okami would fit nice in there).
I remember going to G4, thank god I don't anymore after the travesty review known as Other M (REALLY?! SEXISM?!), and it was about Dante's Inferno and people just tore that game a new one because it was a ripoff of God of War. I found Dante's Inferno to be more interesting then God of War mainly because its loosely based off the actual Dante's Inferno.(And because Christian [Mythology]…dont want to start flame wars here), and I found some of the gameplay elements to be interesting. Although all I did was spam Cross because they costed nothing and did some good damage. And It reminded me of the old castlevania. In fact, Castlevania imo, created the hack and slash genre. Aside from my off topic nature, I found that review to be honest about the game but you know, the community hates it because its cool to hate something not in the traditional view.
I still find it to be a good idea if they do it right. Who knows what might happen but I can probably guess. We might still get the big showroom with games and games alone and have others on the side. They may send Reggie or hell even Iwata to meet with the "main stream media" We have to wait and see how it will play out but I believe its still a good idea. But one thing I will mention is that people seem to believe E3 is this big ass event that gets covered by the general media but in reality, it might get one news story and thats it.
Yeah. E3 is NOT as important as all these websites and people on the Internet are making it out to be. Seriously, if Nintendo is able to pull this off, than the people who run E3 had better make some HUGE changes cause once Nintendo pulls off a successful gimmick, you can expect the rest of the flock to follow!
People just like to harp on the fact that Nintendo isn't making a big expensive press conference. Some people still think they aren't meeting with the press at all for crying out loud.
I don't get why people think that about the "main stream media" either….sure CNN and the like will run stories on it, that they snag from IGN, N4G, CVG, and so on….but they will tuck it away in the Technology and Media section of their site, which is usually near the bottom Getting on Jimmy Fallon would be big though since he has a whole "Video Game Week" and is a big gamer. I think he does it the week of E3, or the week after. He doesn't discriminate on games though, he had the Wii U on his show after it was unveiled even without games to play. I don't regularly watch but I wouldn't be surprised if he had it last year too.
Miyamoto did a big press tour……when Nintendo didn't really have too terribly much to talk about, they will definitely have a big push around E3. Iwata, Reggie, Trinen and Miyamoto will likely all give interviews and show off things, maybe even the director of whatever Retro is working on as it will likely be a big showcase title.
You guys have to stop blindly following and agreeing with the decisions Nintendo makes. THINK FOR YOURSELVES SOMETIMES! …Sorry but I just had to say it.
-4? My point proven. Fanboys can't take any criticism.
More downvoting? Thanks for further proving my point. Learn to take criticism, fanboys. Nintendo is far from a perfect company.
so does the other companies but i dont see you complain about, face it you hate nintendo either way.
I hate Nintendo? Really? That's why I typed those comments from my GamePad. Nice job at making baseless assumptions.
When I manage to see a response from you that doesn't completely fly off the handle, I will provide a counter argument to your opinion. We could even have a civil conversation about it. So far, whatever you are saying is so incendiary in tone that it gets downvoted into oblivion before I even get a chance to see it. All I see is you calling people fanboys for having a difference of opinion/downvoting you.
It is okay to have a different opinion, but present it in a calm well thought out manner. This isn't IGN or N4G.

Dollar Dash Preview
Dollar Dash is a promising new arena battle game coming to PC and Xbox Live. Published by Kalypso and developed by Candy Gun Games, we managed to get our hands on an early version of its multiplayer thievery. From what I'd already seen, DD promised to be addictive – a staple of all great games on the Xbox Live format – and I can happily report that this little gem is living up to its promise.
Dollar Dash's top-down madness plays out across a variety of mini, thoughtfully designed arenas, ranging from Skyscraper rooftops to museum quarters. The demo build we played had 6 arenas in total, two for each of the 3 main game types. Impressively, while all boasting simple hazards you need to be weary of, each level comes with its own unique gimmick, lending each a sense of identity. Making sure you don't fall off a Skyscraper rooftop is one thing, but avoiding the gun shots of the creeping museum guard is another challenge altogether. Maps allow up to 4 players at a time, which can either be human or AI controlled. As you can probably imagine, playing against friends is going to be your best way of enjoying a spot of Dollar Dash.

We're only hours away from Apple's 2013 iPad and Mac event, and just like the invitation says, there's a lot left to cover. Last year we got the improved iPad 4, all new iPad mini, redesigned iMac, and the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro. This year we're looking forward to a thinner, lighter iPad 4, Retina iPad mini 2, the all new Mac Pro, Haswell chipset-based MacBook Pro bumps, and... well, that's the real question, isn't it?
Tim Cook will come out and talk Apple Retail and Apple core values. Phil Schiller will show off new iOS and Mac hardware. Craig Federighi will demonstrate new features. Eddy Cue will take us to the iClouds. Jony Ive and Dan Riccio will show up in the videos. But what will they be talking about?
Apple is holding their next big event on October 22 and among the biggest news will likely be the updated iPad 5 and iPad mini 2. It's likely the new full-sized iPad will be made less fully-sized, and it's possible the new iPad mini will get a screen that's more maxi. But what else do we have to look forward to? Let's take a look!
The "lots more to cover" tag line on Apple's October 22 event invitations have lead many to speculate about updated Smart Covers in general, and Logitech/Microsoft Surface style keyboard covers in specific. Apple has tossed out patent applications for such things in the past, of course, and it's one of the more popular third-party and competitive features. So, prototyping an Apple version that would enjoy better and deeper integration is no surprise. Jamie Ryan:
While it's been widely rumored for a while now that the iPad 5 would get the iPad mini's thinner, lighter design this year, rumors about the iPad mini getting the full-sized iPad's Retina display have been split down the middle - some "yes", some "no", some simply "hope so". Daisuke Wakabayashi and Ian Sherr, however, seem to think it's a done deal. From the Wall Street Journal:
Some of the bigger questions surrounding the iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 involve things like the lighter design for the former, Retina display for the latter, and the potential for Touch ID for both, but what also remains to be seen is what will happen with the iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, tablet editions. While not as dismal as the original iPad camera, they've still lagged enormously behind the iPhone. Will this year be any different?
After Google Hangouts destroyed two weeks of shows, Rene goes it alone to re-re-record the iPad & Mac preview event, detailing everything we just might see on October 22, 2013.
[Apologies again folks, Google Hangouts flat-out failed to record our show two weeks ago, and recorded only the first 10-minutes last week. We're looking at ways to get a backup recording. Apologies also to Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac who was kind enough to join us for last week's show.]
We're just a few days out from Apple's "still have a lot to cover" event in San Francisco, so what better time to step back, and ask ourselves what we're wanting to see most from the event. As is so often the way with Apple invitations, we're left with more questions than answers, but one thing is certain; there's a whole lot that we could be shown.
Top of the order are new iPads. The last refresh came 12 months ago when Apple introduced the iPad mini alongside the iPad 4. At this point it's pretty much a given we'll be seeing new versions of both, with a likely redesign of the full sized iPad. But, it doesn't stop there, not by a long stretch.
While a lighter design for the iPad 5 and Retina for the iPad mini 2 are dominating conversation, there are some other new features that could make an appearance in Apple's next-generation tablets, including Touch ID, the fingerprint identify sensor. Of course, Touch ID requires the new Apple A7 chipset and its secure enclave to work, but that's a likely addition anyway, at least to the full-sized iPad. And with the A7 also comes the possibility of the Apple M7 motion-coprocessor. Would that make sense for a tablet? Would any of it? Let's take a look!
Looking back, the original iPad was thick, heavy, RAM-starved, and low resolution. It was also magnificent. A big iPhone, according to its detractors, unimaginative, and, of course, doomed. Turns out it was an iPhone gone IMAX, bigger but also broader, as imaginative as the person using it, and the next evolution of personal computing. But, thick and heavy. Apple fixed that somewhat with the iPad 2, regressed slightly with the iPad 3 and 4, and then showed the world a thinner, lighter future with the 7.9-inch iPad mini. The iPad mini was so light and thin it was impossible to look at it and not want the same design on the 9.7-inch iPad 5. And it looks like that just might be exactly what we get...

Find Me a 100 Winner: Experienced outsiders are best value at CordeValle
Paul Krishnamurty continues his weekly search for big value outsiders, at a tournament which has seen more than it's share of shock results in recent years
Having built last week's opening Fall Series event up to be the first of several golden opportunities to back outsiders, it was slightly embarrassing to see the favourite lead from start to finish.
That should not, however, be a deterrent from a tried and trusted strategy. For various reasons, these end of season affairs are ripe for producing shocks, as illustrated by the history of this week's Frys.com Open. All three winners between 2008 and 2010 - Rocco Mediate, Troy Matteson and Cameron Beckman - were available at triple-figure odds pre-tournament.
The names of Mediate and Beckman offer a big clue towards the sort of player to look for, especially the former as his win came at this CordeValle venue. Experienced, proven winners, motivated for a late-season burst by a poor position on the money list. A description that could almost perfectly be applied to this week's two selections, Justin Leonard and Tim Herron.
In 131st and 132nd place respectively, both are in money list trouble but within range of the top-125 with a good week. Interestingly, both saved their best performances of 2011 for a very similar Fall Series scenario, finishing second and fifth respectively at Disney. In another common formline, both made the top-25 at CordeValle in 2010.
Of course, the fact Leonard hasn't won since 2008, nor Herron since 2006, is a concern, but both have served recent notice of refusing to relinquish their playing privileges without a fight. Herron produced his best performance of the season last week to finish tenth at Summerlin, despite a poor final round. Leonard finished mid-division, but had previously been fifth at Reno and made the Wyndham top-20.
The trading plan is to stake 3.5 units in total, then place two lay orders on each player at 12.011/1 and 3.02/1, ensuring at least seven units profit if one target is matched.
Recommended Bets
2u Justin Leonard @ 110.0109/1
1.5u Tim Herron @ 140.0139/1
Place order to lay both players 10u @ 12.011/1
Place order to lay both players 20u @ 3.02/1

Well its been in the 100 Deg. range here in Southeastern VA. I ferment in my detached garage which stays fairly cool normally and it has A/C which I only run when I'm at home. Temps are climbing and keeping my fermenting brews cool is getting to be a problem. I built a ferm chamber underneath my work bench with pink foam and put the carboys in a container of water and changed out the ice about 3 times a day but I still have trouble keeping them below 70 deg. What I would like to do is I have a very old Hotpot upright freezer in my attached garage. It' the kind with an external condenser coil and the shelves are the cooling coils so there is no moving them. What I was thinking is building a ferm chamber next to the freezer and cutting one hole through the bottom side of the freezer and another higher up. Them use some ducting to the ferm chamber. Anybody ever try this? I pretty sure there is nothing in the sidewalls of the freezer except insulation. Would convection be enough to circulate the cold air? If not how could I temperature control a computer fan or something similar? SWMBO wants to keep using the freezer for our food. So no tearing it apart. And since my recent keezer build I need something inexpensive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kazi
I also built a ferm chamber of pink insulation and plywood under my workbench in the garage. I picked up a used window AC unit off CL for $40, cut a hole in my ferm chamber wall, and mounted the AC unit. The AC unit is connected to a Johnson digital controller, with the probe taped to the side of my carboy. I had to reroute the AC's internal temperature sensor from the front grill out the back of the unit so the compressor wouldnt kick off when it sensed that the ambient temp of the chamber was getting cool, but that was super easy. Just popped the grill off, unclipped the probe, and fed it back through the control panel and out the back of the unit. It keeps perfect ferm temps even in my garage in oklahoma summer weather! Much cheaper/easier than chopping up your freezer I'd think... Heres some photos. Note: I do not claim to be an expert wood-worker by any means. The water stains on the floor are from a previous incarnation of this unit. Always make sure your AC unit is angled so it drains out the BACK
What do you do about heat the A/C puts out. Do you duct it outside. I spend a lot time in both garages and would have to do something with the heat. Kazi
If you cool your wort to ferm temp BEFORE it goes into the chamber, then the AC unit only cycles on for about 3 minutes every hour or so when its hot outside. During the spring time it cycled on for about 3 minutes every two or three hours. As long as you insulated your box well then the AC unit is only there to drop the temp 1 degree about once an hour or so, depending on outside temp. The heat it outputs doesn't affect the temp of my garage at all...but my garage is pretty much above 90 at all times during this part of the year. You could duct it outside since you have AC in your garage, that seems like a simple solution.

LFO 2.0 is the result of trying to build the best general purpose swiss knife LFO for myself. It needs Ableton Live 9.x with Max4Live installed.
It offers three basic ways of modulating a target: Directly via Live's engine, (Engine) which disables manual control of the target parameter and is perfect for fast modulations. Or via a method similar to manually turning a knob on the user interface (GUI), which can create automation data when recording.
And, as a third mode it can put out the modulation as audio signal (Audio) which is useful for creating control voltages for analog synthesizers.

That's why "market dynamics" has become a term du jour in global health, and why NextBillion Health Care in spring 2014 launched an initiative aimed to exploring the concept. Now we've added an e-book.
EA Consultants' efforts to understand both the business case and client value of microinsurance led to some interesting findings. For instance, catastrophic health insurance represented much greater value than primary or outpatient care for clients, but its behavioral effects skewed against good health outcomes. Barbara Magnoni discusses these findings, and offers some solutions.
Bad information has been problematic during the Ebola outbreak. As a result, IPA has been collecting data on the economic impacts of the crisis and is working on piloting and evaluating an electronic contact-tracing system that could substantially improve efficiency and reduce Ebola transmission rates.

(CBS) -- In a candid interview, Michael Douglas opens up to New York Magazine about his 40-plus-year career, his frightening battle with cancer, why it was easy playing a gay man and his troubled son Cameron.
The 68-year-old actor plays the flamboyant performer Liberace in an HBO biopic, "Behind the Candelabra," that premieres May 26. See what he has to say about that role, as well as the recent events that have rocked his life, including a battle with stage four cancer.
On playing Liberace:
"Once you get that first kiss in, you are comfortable," Douglas said. "Matt [Damon] and I didn't rehearse the love scenes. We said, 'Well—we've read the script, haven't we?'" he laughed. "The hardest thing about sex scenes is that everybody is a judge. I don't know the last time you murdered somebody or blew anyone's brains out, but everyone has had sex and probably this morning, which means everyone has an opinion on how it should be done."
On his battle with cancer:
"They recommended that I try to eat and I never got the feeding tube. Matzo-ball soup was great, but I still lost 45 pounds." Douglas paused. "That's life," he said finally. "Things had been going good for me for a long time. I was ready for some karmic retribution."
"I watched a lot of sports, anything where I didn't know the ending." When asked if he missed working, he responded, "I did, but I was too weak to miss much of anything. I was stage four, and there is no stage five. After complaining for nine months and them not finding anything, and then they told me I was stage four?! That was a big day."
On his son Cameron, who is in jail for drug possession and dealing:
"Since he was 13, Cameron has been a chronic substance abuser," Douglas said. "He was kicked out of school for dealing pot when he was 13, and that's when I became aware of his problems. He's a wonderful, talented kid who I love to death, but when heroin became his drug of choice in the last eight years, the situation became difficult. He was shooting up seven times a day."
"I have gone from being a very disappointed but loving father who felt his son got what was due him to realizing that Lady Justice's blindfold is really slipping," Douglas said. "I'm not defending Cameron as a drug dealer or drug addict, but I believe, because of his last name, he's been made an example."

Knoll ® Cyclone Side Table
Conceived in 1953 as a rocking stool made of metal wire and wood, Noguchi's playful object was manufactured the following year in varying sizes, and later evolved into a table that became a companion piece to the Bertoia wire children's chair. At the suggestion of Hans Knoll, Noguchi's small table was enlarged to full size in 1957. Reintroduced by Knoll in collaboration with the Noguchi Foundation, the design is now meticulously produced from Noguchi's original drawings. The sculptural base consists of a column of chrome-plated steel wires set into a cast-iron black porcelain-finished foot. *This product is made to order and thus customer orders cannot be canceled once the products go into production
About the Designer
Isamu Noguchi United States (1904 - 1988)
Isamu Noguchi, born in 1904 in Los Angeles to the Japanese poet Yone Noguchi and the American writer Leonie Gilmour, studied at Columbia University and the Leonardo da Vinci Art School. He subsequently established his first independent studio and received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1927. He then worked as an assistant to Constantin Brancusi in Paris and presented his first solo exhibition in New York. He studied brush drawing in China and worked with ceramics under Jinmatsu Uno in Japan. His experiences living and working in different cultural circles are reflected in his work as an artist. Isamu Noguchi is considered a universal talent with a creative oeuvre that went beyond sculpture to encompass stage sets, furniture, lighting, interiors as well as outdoor plazas and gardens. His sculptural style is indebted to a vocabulary of organic forms and exerted a sustained influence on the design of the 1950s. "My father, Yone Noguchi, is Japanese and has long been known as an interpreter of the East to the West, through poetry. I wish to fulfill my heritage", he wrote in his proposal for a Guggenheim Fellowship. Isamu Noguchi died in New York in 1988.

(BaseballStL) — Everybody has a favorite Jim Edmonds moment: the layout catches, the iconic home runs, the shrewd base running. But what was Edmonds' favorite moment?
Simple - Every day he was a Cardinal.
"Opening day 2000 until today has been the best day and it just keeps on going," Edmonds said Saturday following the Cardinal Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
"It blows me away every time. (The fans) are just so respectful to the players and past players. It just makes you feel good and it's pretty special.
"My fiancée asked me 'has it always been like this?' and I go, 'I think I'm getting more popular as time goes on.' I get better as people forget. It's like when you pass away and you're all of a sudden a great war hero. So I'm getting better with time."
Self-deprecation aside, Edmonds was plenty good. During his career, he won eight Gold Gloves, played in four All-star games, won a Silver Slugger award, a World Series and finished his career with a .284 batting average and 393 home runs, an enviable body of work. His best years were in St. Louis.
Cardinal manager Mike Matheny, a teammate from 2000-2004, got to watch Edmonds through entire 162-game seasons, both on and off the field. "There were a lot of times [he] walked off the field and I told him, 'you're the best baseball player I've ever seen.' Just watching day in, day out the little things he did. How much pride he took in center field," Matheny said.
Edmonds said he realized early in his career that while he might not hit in every game, he could play defense in every game and so he made defense his specialty.
"I struggled my rookie year (in Anaheim), but the first year they gave me the job in center field was my second year and they basically said, 'the center field job is yours. Go out there and have a good time with it.'
"I struggled in the beginning of the year, I think I was hitting .235. Marcel Lachemann came up to me and said, 'keep doing what you're doing on defense and I'm never going to take you out of the lineup.' That kind of turned on a light switch. I just got prepared more and more each day and learned.
"It's pretty simple actually if you watch this game long enough. If you watch Sportscenter enough you see the same guys doing the same thing every night. They hit the same pitches; they strike out on the same pitches. So I just took that to another level. I watched more, I asked more questions. I just wanted to be prepared," he said.
Matheny said Edmonds' defense was a nightly clinic in positioning and winning baseball.
"Everybody remembers all the crazy catches over the shoulder," the Cards skipper said. "But I've never seen a center fielder with that kind of approach. Every pitch trying to figure out a way to help the corner outfielder cheat a little bit. Coming in, going back, watching and trying to figure out sequences. For an offensive player - and he was a great offensive player - you just don't normally see them that committed to the defensive side of the game.
"He changed games for us. There were days he showed up - I've never seen this either - he would show up and he'd say, 'I think I'm going to hit two today boys.' He'd at least get one. It was impressive."
Edmonds played in San Diego, Chicago, Milwaukee and Cincinnati after he left the Redbirds, but he has never considered himself anything other than a Cardinal.
"It's an amazing feeling to be four years out of the league and walk into the front of the locker room and have the man just open the door for you. To go and say hello to the guys and just be involved. It's an amazing accomplishment to get to this level and be able to stay. To still be a part of it is fun."
Edmonds still appreciates how very well the Cardinal organization takes care of its players.
"You could just tell the ownership and the manager at the time cared about you as a player. They cared about your families. They allowed families on the flights, they allowed family trips. They allowed all the things that made this game a lot easier. I just knew it was special right away. The first month I was playing and my agent was like, 'what do you think?' I was like, 'I'm done, I'm here. Sign me up.'
Saturday, Edmonds joined a very select group of former Cardinals who personify one of the most successful franchises in baseball history, a fact not lost on Edmonds.
"When they told me I was getting a red jacket I had to step back a little bit. I think this red jacket symbolizes more than just a plaque on the wall," he said. "It's going to take awhile to sink in."

POSTED: Thursday, July 5, 2012 - 6:33pm
UPDATED: Thursday, July 5, 2012 - 6:44pm
Kilgore, TX — The Kilgore College Small Business Development Center, White Oak Economic Development Corporation and Kilgore Economic Development Corporation will offer free training seminars in Kilgore and White Oak covering a vital topic to small businesses, "Lean Thinking and Culture in Business Today."
The White Oak seminar, "Lean Thinking & 5S: Workplace Organization and Standardization," is set for Thursday, July 19, from 10 a.m. to noon in the Jim Nall Training Center, 100 Church St., in White Oak.
The Kilgore seminar, "How to Create and Sustain a Lean Culture," is set for Friday, July 20, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Synergy Park Training Facility, 1001 Synergy Blvd. Ste. 300, in Kilgore.
Both seminars are free to attend, but RSVP is required by July 16.
Seating is limited, and early registration recommended.
Lunch will be provided at both seminars.
To register, contact the Kilgore College SBDC at 903-757-5857 or 1-800-338-7232. Or register online at www.KilgoreSBDC.com [1].
About the White Oak seminar:
5S is an excellent tool for a company to start their Lean implementation. It is a process and method for creating an organized, clean, high performance workplace, and prepares the operation for quality and productivity. 5S ensures work areas are systematically kept clean and organized, ensuring employee safety and providing a foundation on which to build a Lean Enterprise. 5S provides a structure and steps for workplace organization, order and cleanliness.
This will be accomplished by:
• Putting a team of workers in control of their own workspace
• Helping a team focus on the causes and elimination of waste
• Establishing standards of visual communication, housekeeping and storage
• Preparing the work area for Lean implementation
• Improving employee morale by making the area safe, clean & enjoyable in which to work
A cross functional team is assembled and a target area chosen. Team members from the area are key in making this project a success. 5S can be used throughout the organization, both plant and office.
About the Kilgore seminar:
Learn when and how to implement Lean systems and how to create and sustain a Lean culture. Implementing Lean systems is deceptively simple, but it is tougher than it seems. The first issue that comes to mind is leadership.
Leaders play a critical role in changing the thinking of the members of the organization so Lean can take root and grow. However, this can be done only by leaders, it cannot be delegated.

Results of the Special City Council Meeting on Mandatory Water Conservation
The Sierra Madre City Council held a special City Council meeting on Tuesday, June 19th to address water customers concerns with the mandatory water conservation measures adopted on May 28, 2013. The major outcome of the meeting was the decision to consider an amendment to the Water Conservation Ordinance which, once formally adopted, will institute summer and winter conservation targets rather than an annual target. The amended Water Conservation Ordinance is scheduled for the City Council's July 9, 2013 agenda.
The Summer and Winter Conservation Targets will each encompass 6 months (3 billing cycles). Each water customer's use will be averaged for each of these periods to determine the customer's average usage and seasonal conservation target. This will result in less variation in the "service target" during rainy months or extremely hot months.
As a part of the amended water conservation ordinance, the Council also provided direction to amend the Multi-Unit Residential and Commercial Unit Conservation Goals to take into consideration the number of units in the complex. The Council asked that the drafted amendment remove Code Sections 13.24.140(C) and 150 which calls for the mandatory installation of a flow restrictor for any customer who violates the ordinance more than twice; however, the financial penalties will remain. The City Council directed staff to return to a future meeting with a report regarding implementing gray water systems as a condition of new development approvals.
In the meantime, the Council has tasked the City's soon to be established Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Commission to provide a recommendation regarding the possible future use of flow restrictors. Addressing long term conservation measures will be one of the Commission's primary goals over the next year.
