When she arrives in the dingy Australian coastal town, there is no way for Lilli to know who she will find there. Lilli has spent the last 20 years drinking and drifting and making disorganized efforts to pull her life together. The last two people she expects to find there, living in a house trailer down near the beach, are her mother and her daughter.
Lilli had Ally 16 years ago, and found she could not cope with the responsibility. She gave the child to her mother, Bet, and the two women - a fierce tension between them - agreed that Lilli would disappear, and that Ally would never know the true story. Over the years Bet has raised Ally like her own daughter and loved her more than she ever loved Lilli. But now all of those years have come to their inevitable conclusion. Lilli has returned.
The town itself forms the backdrop for this story and sets the tone. It is one of those sad, defeated beachfront resorts where the sea air has eaten away the bright paint of many seasons ago. There are bars and dance halls, greasy spoon restaurants and disorganized caravan parks straggling down toward the unremarkable beach. People do not live in places like this to retire; they settle here because they came this far and were too exhausted to go further.
It is a small town, and Lilli and Ally are soon aware of each other. They become friends, without realizing who the other is. Lilli drinks a good deal, and one night Ally helps her home into the house trailer she has rented. She is intrigued by this woman in her 30s who seems to have no roots and no plans.
Then Lilli sees Ally with Bet and realizes this teenager is her daughter. This does not lead to a great dramatic scene in which she demands to have her daughter back; Lilli has not spent a lifetime running away only to have an overnight conversion. And, in fact, Lilli never quite tells her daughter who she is; that is left to a friend, who does it accidentally.
Lilli and Ally circle each other warily. Bet is enraged. She loves her grandchild and does not want to lose her. The drama is all the more poignant because there is no tug-of-war going on here, just an exercise in evasion and fear. The question is not whether Lilli will demand the return of her child; it is, in a way, whether Lilli herself will be able to stop acting like a child.
"High Tide" is a somber and muted film, very well acted. Judy Davis stars as Lilli, the exhausted drifter, and Jan Adele is very good as the older woman, never sentimental, always seeing things with hard-eyed realism. Claudia Karvan, as the teenager, does a wonderful job of conveying the confusion and hope of a girl who discovers her real mother and at the same time discovers the sad truth about her.
The movie was directed by Gillian Armstrong, who also directed Davis in the movie that won her an Oscar nomination, "My Brilliant Career." This film doesn't have the same impact, perhaps because the story itself is of tired and almost defeated characters. But it has the same quality, especially in the performances, and the ending of the film, which could have been a mechanical melodrama, has a very particular impact.

generally occurs in nature as \ufb02uoride) is bene\ufb01cial to human health in trace amounts, but can be toxic in excess. The links between low intakes of \ufb02uoride and dental protection are well known; however, \ufb02uoride is a powerful calcium-seeking
element and can interfere with the calci\ufb01ed structure of bones and teeth in the human body at higher concentrations causing dental or skele- tal \ufb02uorosis. One of the main exposure routes is via drinking water and the World Health Orga- nisation currently sets water quality guidelines for the element. In Central Europe, groundwater resources that exceed the guideline value of 1.5 mg l\u20131are widespread and effects on health of high \ufb02uoride in water have been reported. The aim of the current project was to develop a geographic information system (GIS) to aid the identi\ufb01cation of areas where high-\ufb02uoride waters and \ufb02uorosis may be a problem; hence, where water treatment technologies should be targeted. The development of the GIS was based upon the collation and digitisation of existing information relevant to \ufb02uoride risk in Ukraine, Moldova, Hungary and Slovakia assembled for the \ufb01rst time in a readily accessible form. In addition, geo- chemistry and health studies to examine in more detail the relationships between high-\ufb02uoride drinking waters and health effects in the popula- tion were carried out in Moldova and Ukraine demonstrating dental \ufb02uorosis prevalence rates of 60\u201390% in adolescents consuming water contain- ing 2\u20137 mg l\u20131\ufb02uoride.

Fluorine is the 13th most abundant naturally occurring element in the Earth\u2019s crust and is the lightest member of the halogens. It is the most electronegative and reactive of all the elements and as a result, elemental \ufb02uorine does not occur in nature, but is found as \ufb02uoride mineral complexes. Fluorides account for 0.06\u20130.08% of the Earth\u2019s crust, but their average abundance is low (300 mg kg\u20131; Tebbutt,1983). Unlike some of the other halogens, the majority of \ufb02uoride in the Earth\u2019s surface is derived from rock minerals whereas other sources such as air; seawater and anthropogenic activities constitute a rela- tively small proportion (Fuge,1988; Lahermo, Sandstrom, & Malisa,1991).
Like several other naturally occurring ele- ments, \ufb02uoride can enter the human body via the inhalation of air and ingestion of food and water and affect health (WHO,1996a). Studies carried out in the USA and Europe in the 1940s demonstrated a link between improved dental health and the introduction of \ufb02uoridated tooth- paste and \ufb02uoridated drinking water to local communities (Dean, Arnold, & Elvove,1942). Scientists are still uncertain whether \ufb02uoride is essential to human health, but the mechanisms of dental benefaction are thought to be twofold. During the pre-eruptive stage (i.e. during tooth formation in children up to 12 years old) \ufb02uoride is thought to accelerate the mineralisation process and can enter the mineral lattice forming \ufb02uora- patite, which is stronger (less soluble) than hydroxylapatite. Experiments on rats have also demonstrated the activation of mineralisation and increases in dental cement growth in animals receiving higher \ufb02uoride concentrations. Second, \ufb02uoride acts as an anti-bacterial agent in the mouth helping to minimise acid attack on teeth (Brown & Konig,1977; Jenkins,1967; Lukomsky,
In contrast, health problems associated with too much \ufb02uoride have also been widely reported. The detrimental effects of high-\ufb02uoride intake on the structure of dental hard tissue were estab- lished by Smith, Lantz, and Smith (1931), who
proved a connection between mottled enamel and excess \ufb02uoride in drinking water. This condition, named dental \ufb02uorosis, is an irregular calci\ufb01ca- tion disorder of the enamel-forming cells. Flu- orosed enamel is porous, often stained and has brown pits, and in its more severe form is brittle and prone to erosion and breakage.
Subsequent investigations revealedthat \ufb02uoride also affects the human skeletal structure as it is a powerful calcium-seeking element. Endemic skel- etal \ufb02uorosis is a chronic metabolic bone and joint disease caused by intake of large amounts of \ufb02uoride either through water or rarely from foods/air in endemic areas. Human and other animal bones are composed of hydroxylapatite, but this mineral and \ufb02uorapatite are end-members in the apatite solid solution series and therefore \ufb02uoride exchanges readily with the OH-ion in the apatite structure, increasing the brittleness and decreasing the solubility of the bone structure (Dissanayake & Chandrajith,1999; Skinner,2000). The bones of the human body are constantly resorbed and redeposited during a lifetime and high\ufb02uoride intakes increase the accretion, resorp- tion and Ca-turnover rates of bone tissue affecting the homeostasis of bone mineral metabolism (Krishnamachari,1986). Calci\ufb01cation of soft tis- sues such as ligaments can also occur. Although approximately 80%of \ufb02uoride entering the body is excreted mainly in the urine, the remainder is adsorbed into body tissues from where it is released very slowly (WHO,1996a). Repeated or continu- ous exposure to \ufb02uoride therefore causes accumu- lation of \ufb02uoride in the body. Hence, \ufb02uoride is a cumulative toxin and although skeletal \ufb02uorosis commonly affects older people following long years of exposure, crippling forms of the disease are also seen in children in endemic areas (WHO,
Children dwelling in territories with increased \ufb02uoride very often exhibit problems with normal physical maturity and bone formation as a result of exposure at sensitive developmental stages, particularly the pre- and postnatal ontogenesis period, the \ufb01rst year of life and during puberty (Vyeltishchyev,1995). Clinical symptoms in chil- dren include rachitis, osteoporosis and disorders of the Ca homeostasis balance (Teotia, Teotia, & Singh,1998).
No effective cures are available for either form of \ufb02uorosis; however, the diseases are preventable if \ufb02uoride intake is controlled.
Fluoride concentrations in the environment are highly variable and are often dependent on the presence of particular types of rocks, minerals or water. For example, endemic dental and/or skele- tal \ufb02uorosis have been reported in the East African Rift Valley associated with volcanic rock types and thermal waters (Frencken et al.,1990). In Indiaand Sri Lanka, \ufb02uorosis is linked to \ufb02uoride-rich alkaline groundwaters (Dissanayake,1996; Sushe- ela,1999) and in China problems are associated with high-\ufb02uoride groundwaters and inhalation of \ufb02uoride from coal smoke (Zheng et al.,1999). The concentration of \ufb02uoride in most waters is con- trolled by the solubility of the main \ufb02uoride- bearing mineral \ufb02uorite (CaF2); hence, waters that are sodium (Na)-, potassium (K)- and chloride (Cl)-rich and calcium (Ca)-poor tend to contain high \ufb02uoride concentrations. In general, ground- waters contain more \ufb02uoride than surface water resources due to greater contact times with \ufb02uo- ride-bearing minerals in rock\u2013water interactions (Edmunds & Smedley,1996; Hem,1992; WHO,
\ufb02uoride into the environment via aluminium and coal industries, fertiliser use and manufacturing processes (Bartram & Balance,1996).
Numerous clinical and experimental studies show a variety of in\ufb02uences of \ufb02uoride on human health depending upon the content in drinking water (Gnatyuk,1988; Grigoryeva, Golovko, Nikolishiyn, & Pavlyenko,1993; Rozier,1999). Indeed, approximately 90%of \ufb02uoride ingested in water is absorbed in the gastro-intestinal tract compared with only 30\u201360% of \ufb02uoride in food (WHO,1996a). Research has shown that \ufb02uoride concentrations between 0 mg l\u20131and 0.5 mg l\u20131 favour dental caries development, whereas con- centrations between 1.5 mg l\u20131and 5 mg l\u20131can result in dental \ufb02uorosis. Ingestion of 5\u2013 40 mg day\u20131of \ufb02uoride via drinking water can produce skeletal deformities, and knock knees (genu valgum) have been reported in adolescents receiving >10 mg day\u20131in water, accumulated from birth. However, \ufb02uoride contents of between 0.5 mg l\u20131and 1.5 mg l\u20131have a bene\ufb01cial effect, reducing caries development (WHO,1996b).
There is also evidence that the adverse health effects of \ufb02uoride are enhanced by a lack of Ca, vitamins and protein in the diet (Jacks, Rajago- palan, Alveteg, & Jonsson,1993; Li et al.,1996; Zheng et al.,1999).
In response to the potentially harmful effects of high-\ufb02uoride waters, the World Health Orga- nisation (WHO) has set an upper drinking water quality guideline of 1.5 mg l\u20131(Table1). Conversely, the WHO also recommends intakes of water containing 0.5\u20131.0 mgl\u20131
In Central Europe, groundwater resources that exceed the upper guideline value of 1.5 mg l\u20131are widespread and dental \ufb02uorosis associated with high \ufb02uoride concentrations in water has been reported in Ukraine, Moldova and Hungary (Gnatyuk,1988; Grigoryeva et al.,
The aim of the current project was to develop a risk assessment GIS to produce high-\ufb02uoride risk maps so that water \ufb02uoride removal remediation technologies could be deployed most effectively. In the original project plan, the geographic focus centred on Ukraine, Moldova and Hungary; however, information for Slovakia was also included as excellent geochemical data were available for Slovakia and enhanced the overview of \ufb02uoride risks in the study region. It should be noted that the risks of dental caries associated with low \ufb02uoride intakes were also considered as

Ugh, buying up all of Nintendo. That sounds diabolical. And these were the same people that thought they owned Donkey Kong after buying Rare too. Ridiculous.

I agree with this article. I don't think Nintendo's abandoning Wii U soon. For all we know this Nintendo Direct may have some big surprises, and that's not counting E3. A big game like Super Mario 3D World was announced at E3 and released later that year, so the same could very-well happen again. I remember when Miyamoto, even though it was before Zelda's delay, commented that there would be plenty of games for Wii U in 2015. There's still opportunities soon for Nintendo to show more of what they're giving.
Here comes Mewtwo and the big Smash Bros. Wii U update! They need to bring up the Animal Crossing X Mario Kart 8 DLC pack and a firm release date for Splatoon too. Yoshi's Woolly World and Mario Maker need to be shown again. Anything new will be a bonus to me.
I think Nintendo should be smart enough to realize that pushing off Zelda would make it more difficult for themselves as a business later this year. I'm sure they thought long and hard about this, both the developers and the businessmen within Nintendo. It definitely wasn't an easy decision.
Maybe they will have another major game alongside Star Fox later this year that we don't know about? This E3 is now even more wide-open for Nintendo as far as new game possibilities. A major game can still be announced and released later this year. What if a new Metroid was announced this E3 and released this November? Even when they're focusing more on this year, that could still happen.
This list lacks Kid Icarus: Uprising. Other than that, not surprised at all.
I'm sure this would've still been a good game if it released this year. But now it will be a great game next year!
This makes me hope even more Nintendo has plenty of surprises in store for E3! Seriously, this year's expo seems wide-open for Nintendo.
@LtAldoRaine: Aonuma's already confirmed that the hand-holding won't return.
I still don't understand why they won't show it at E3. This may be a huge game, but would it really hurt showing some footage even if it could change? Other Nintendo developers don't have a problem with that.
Now what's going to be one of Nintendo's big games this latter half of the year besides Star Fox?
I'm not surprised and I'm okay with the delay as it will make it a better game. That's what delays are meant for.
The decision to not even show it at E3 2015, though, I disagree with. They should have shown at least some of it. E3 is for work-in-progress games anyway, so I don't see why it would hurt as it would generate more hype even if things could still change.
My top ten Nintendo 3DS games so far:
1. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
2. Kid Icarus: Uprising
3. Super Mario 3D Land
4. Kirby: Triple Deluxe
5. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
6. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
7. Tomodachi Life
8. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
9. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
10. New Super Mario Bros. 2
I thought I'd rather have TTYD on Wii U, but I actually wouldn't mind it for 3DS if there was to be a new Paper Mario for Wii U in the future, which is definitely possible. Regardless, I'd still be convinced to buy it the moment it was announced. The first Paper Mario is my favorite, but TTYD is still a fantastic game.
I think I may get a Mario amiibo at some point. It's the very first amiibo ever made, after all.
Actually, I may end up having every Super Mario amiibo so far except for Gold Mario.
It sounds like they won't abandon the car mechanic anytime soon. While I don't mind old-school, individualistic Mario Party myself, I understand why it's better. Waiting for the other player's turns could get boring sometimes. The car ensures that it keeps the players interesting. I wouldn't mind it at all if they offered both styles of play in a future Mario Party, though.
I found it interesting how they take characters from other Mario games into Mario Party. The Goombrat, a weird-looking enemy only seen in one or two levels in NSMBU, is featured fairly commonly in Mario Party 10.
I'm sure there's all kinds of ideas for minigames if people look for them. Even though it's probably gotten more difficult after so many years, there should still be even more ideas out there for more in the future.
I encountered a Jigglypuff player online once in Smash Bros. Wii U who used Rest pretty well. It wasn't fun. I ended up trying to avoid him toward the end of the match. It was bad enough that it was in For Glory.
My sister has always been a Jigglypuff player and it really takes some skill. Besides the difficulty executing Rest, it's also tough that if Jigglypuff's shield breaks, it's always KOed. I rarely break a shield, but that's a notable weakness. Still, Jigglypuff can be deadly if mastered, just like any Smash Bros. character.
I'm a lot like Ron; I'm more of a single-player person. I also wasn't personally interested in this game at first when it was announced. But it has been growing on me recently, and especially by the steady news updates. The more I learned about Splatoon, I more I liked it. Now I'll definitely get the game this May and will likely love it!
That's pretty cool!
My only experience with Sheriff was the Wario version in WarioWare, Inc. Mega Microgames. It's a cool, little game and certainly earns its place in Nintendo history.
Not a loss. I wonder if Nintendo will ever seriously consider TV shows knowing how people generally view video game cartoons or shows negatively today.
Super-stable 3D was what sold me on the New Nintendo 3DS XL! Thanks Mr. Miyamoto!
Sometimes upending the tea table is necessary.
Maybe Smash Bros. would have increased Takmaru's popularity like it did for Marth, Roy, and Lucas? At least he's an assist trophy.
I mainly wanted K. Rool because Smash Bros. needed more villains along with the DK series needing another character. Even if it had to be Dixie, that would still be a third one. Donkey Kong Country has been back since 2010 with Returns, then the 3D remake, and then Tropical Freeze.
Nintendo's penchant for innovation makes this not surprising, but still good to read. I don't want Nintendo to just make a bigger, prettier Wii U or 3DS. The competition already does that with their consoles.
Takamaru was on my list of wanted Smash Bros. characters, so this is too bad. Still, my suspicions were right. There was something about his highly-detailed assist trophy appearance and fancy music remix that made me think he was seriously considered. Too bad that this happened at the start of development and long before The Mysterious Murasame Castle would release outside of Japan. If it was already on the eShop, Sakurai might have put him in.
My most wanted newcomer was King K. Rool, but I would've accepted another DK character like Dixie Kong at this point. I still believe the DK series should have gotten at least a third character.
Not only am I looking forward to Mewtwo, but the Miiverse stage and sharing custom stages as well. I keep seeing great custom stages on Miiverse that I want people to play on. I hope there's a Nintendo Direct next week!
I'm sure Nintendo will handle using its IP on smart devices just fine. DeNA handling the next membership program also seems positive, considering their experience. NX sounds interesting to say the least and is possibly a unified console, which is the bulk of what it makes it exciting. New hardware from Nintendo is almost always going to be exciting, though.
This "NX" console is intriguing indeed. It's a mystery whether it's a console, handheld, or both in one. I kind of hope it's a unified console.
I wish there was a Nintendo Direct soon to explain more of this week's news to the fans.
Miyamoto once again shows his devotion to gameplay and innovation over just making games on the fly to get a quick buck. If only more in the game industry thought like him!
It's interesting to read his comment about books.
I admit; I used to be disgusted with the idea of Nintendo making smartphone games. But when I thought like that, I was thinking more of Nintendo doing that on a major scale with bigger games and consoles being neglected. That's not what Nintendo's doing here. Nintendo along with DeNA will make smartphone games, but Nintendo's still going to continue to make bigger, better games for 3DS and Wii U. It's not going to take a massive amount of Nintendo's energy and resources. It'll be an important process, sure, but not to the point that it'll become half of what Nintendo's doing. It'll be a "third pillar" in the sense that it's an extra way to make profit and entice customers to play bigger, better games on 3DS and Wii U, along with this mysterious "NX" console.
Ultimately, I trust Nintendo with reaching out to smartphones correctly. Nintendo and DeNA seem to have invested heavily in each other, and they're not going to take this lightly. Even if this doesn't work out that well, at least Nintendo's making an effort instead of none at all.
Nintendo obviously can't abandon their current consoles. Once again, the bigger, better games will still be on Wii U and 3DS and these smartphone games will be like marketing tools to point to them.
Still, Nintendo could make some pretty good smartphone games.
Again, not surprising considering the market's desire for Nintendo to do this for a long time. I just wonder what form this NX console will take.
This commercial's actually better than the other ones America's gotten.
I like how Bowser just looks at the slime with displeasure.
I would be pretty happy with a unified console. I'd have to see more and experience more to be further convinced, but having it all in one place sounds appealing, and even if I were to take it out of the home, that would be nice.
I'm in no rush to see such a thing at all though, as I'm still enjoying Wii U and 3DS and could hopefully get a New 3DS XL in a few weeks. NX will be shown in 2016, but it could take another year. I want to at least enjoy 3DS and Wii U a couple more years before the next new thing.
As I've already stated numerous times, the DeNA plans are just going to be marketing tools for Nintendo to try to appeal to smart phone and tablet players that they could get bigger, better games on a Nintendo console if they like it. More marketing is something people want Nintendo to do anyway. It's misguided to think that this will downgrade Nintendo's quality games. DeNA is making the games partly themselves and Nintendo will still make their own games. Stop the uneasiness.
The "NX" console itself is a sign that Nintendo's legacy of quality games will continue, as it sounds rather ambitious and certainly not for bite-sized phone games.
Nintendo's really stepped up their commercials recently! Mario Party 10's been getting quite a few of them.
How would you mind Bowser just randomly dropping out of nowhere and smashing your table?
This is something the stock market has been wanting for a long time, so I'm not surprised. Still amused by the Wario World image, though!
Great article; it hits on a lot of questions people would have.
All this is is a marketing tactic to try to bring more people to a Nintendo console. Even if they don't win many new customers, at least Nintendo is making an effort to reach out to this audience instead of not making an effort at all. They're still going to make bigger, better games on Nintendo's own systems. Who knows, maybe these Nintendo smart phone games will be pretty good for what they will be?
Now this "NX" console is interesting to say the least. I think that thing will try to combine a console and handheld in one. It's murky right now, but it's certainly possible.
Nintendo has some interesting days ahead!
The idea of a gaming system serving both console and handheld purposes sounds really exciting. It doesn't sound like it's console or handheld, but a mix of both.
These are interesting days for Nintendo...
Each of these games are going to be like marketing ploys to entice more people. It's like Nintendo saying to someone playing a smart phone Mario game, "Like that little Mario game? How about playing a bigger, better Mario game on 3DS?"
As long as they're still making those bigger, better games, I don't care about them doing this. And they're showing absolutely no indication they're abandoning Nintendo games as we know them. Nintendo's just striking a moderate approach to the other market that will serve as a marketing tool.
Even if they don't win many new customers, at least they're appealing to the smart phone market instead of not appealing at all. Many people have wanted them to reach out to the smart phone market, not just cynical analysts, but real fans as well. Nintendo can't ignore them.
I don't feel interested in these kinds of games, but it's an option. It's just another way for Nintendo to make money. There's still going to be bigger, better games on Nintendo consoles. I don't see why people are so worried about that.
Nintendo wants its character IP to expand and grow to a bigger audience. To someone playing this game, Nintendo would say "Like that little Mario game? How about playing a bigger Mario game on a 3DS or Wii U?" Each of these little games are basically going to be marketing ploys.
Whoa, this "NX" console sounds radical. Nintendo has some major restructuring ahead, which they've already started to an extent with the merger of handheld and console divisions.
As long as they still make bigger, better games for a mainstream console, I'm fine with this.
Nintendo's going for a middle-of-the-road approach in which it'll get involved heavily in the smartphone and tablet market, but still make meatier games for game handhelds. It all sounds like a good step in the right direction to me. Although they're making bite-size games exclusive to these devices, something has to be done to make a better reach to it, and quite a few wanted Nintendo to do this anyway, so this will be like a extra source of revenue. The market is very competitive and other companies apparently tried and didn't quite make it, but there is an appeal to Nintendo IP that could make a good splash in that market. Nintendo's still dedicated to making regular games.
Now this new membership program could be interesting. I don't know what that will have except for better discounts on games, like what Nintendo teased last year.
Nintendo's trying to take advantage of smartphones and tablets without compromising its game-making for them. Sounds good, as quite a few want them to take advantage of such devices. The fact that they're still conscious about making meatier games for game handhelds is very good, though. This will ensure they try to take a middle-road.
Sounds interesting; this should allow a much more streamlined experience. Sounds like Nintendo is getting closer to the new pricing system Nintendo teased last year.
I'm still getting the game and I'm a Mario Party fan and liked 9. It still sounds a lot better than island Tour.
The only disappointing thing that stands out to me is there being only 10 Bowser minigames. The amiibo boards are pretty cool and as close to traditional Mario Party as you're going to get.
Online Mario Party would be a train wreck. It would only work in a minigame mode.
This would be fine would someone hardly ever got new pieces.
But I think Nintendo will eventually stop this somehow with more mighty stability.
I have no doubt that this will be on Wii U. They'd have to considering all the demand and the fact that the game they're taking inspiration from was on a Nintendo console. This game has a lot of promise, and I hope they can deliver.
I agree that Nintendo has plenty to talk about in a new Direct. I expect there should be one in the next week or so. Games like Yoshi's Woolly World and Mario Maker should be brought up again, especially the former. Woolly World has had nothing about it said since last E3. It got a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, so it should be a pretty important game. I could see Mario Maker getting it's own Direct. Both games should have release dates announced, along with a firm date for Splatoon sometime in May.
The Smash Bros. DLC should be around the corner as we've gotten our soundtracks now. Sakurai is probably taking his sweet time testing Mewtwo, but I still feel the update could be a month or so away. It should be out before the next wave of Mario Kart 8 DLC in late May. It wouldn't hurt to learn more about that too.
Watch; he'll just be a cameo in Zelda U.
Kidding aside, he might be just a cameo or he might actually play a sizable role. It might depend on whether the game is tied to Majora's Mask at all, or Ocarina of Time.
I feel like this game would be perfect for someone to get into the Metroid series, so hopefully it's release in NA is just around the corner.
Great start for New 3DS XL. Majora's Mask 3D doing so well is also welcome. It's also nice to see that Wii U is doing better, too!
I remember seeing this years ago, back when Nintendo Power was around, I think. That's too bad. I'm sure that lost money really hurt.

NBA All-Star Weekend: Waiters, Hardaway light up Rising Stars Challenge with 3-point shootout
Feb 15, 2014, 12:11 AM EDT
NEW ORLEANS — To be perfectly honest, there are times when the Rising Stars Challenge can feel like a bit of a chore. It can't match the talent level of the actual All-Star game, but it has all of the lack of defense, intensity, and ball movement that is usually par for the course in Sunday's main event. Botched alley-oops, cherry-picking, jogging up and down the court, and ill-fated dribble moves are rampant.
So why is this a staple of NBA All-Star Weekend, and why do we watch? To put it plainly, there's a very good chance that something completely insane will happen during the Rising Stars Challenge. Without so much as the pride of their conferences to play for, let alone the pressure of playing for their actual team, the players are openly out there to put on a show, and the flashes of sheer ridiculousness that come out of that mentality are often enough to make up for the apathy that makes up the rest of the game.
Last year, it was Kyrie Irving and Brandon Knight going at each other, which culminated in Irving destroying Knight's ankles with one of the nastiest crossovers you're likely to ever see. In 2003, Jason Richardson drilled a 3 after bouncing the ball off of Carlos Boozer's head. And of course, it was the Rookie/Sophomore game that gave us one of the most audacious moves in the history of the NBA — Jason Williams' legendary elbow pass.
On Friday, the game started out lackadaisically, even by All-Star Friday standards. When a player wanted to get a layup, he got to the rim with less resistance than a stiff breeze would be able to offer him. 3-pointers were thrown up early in the clock at a high volume, but rarely found their mark. The cherry-picking was even more blatant than usual.
Andre Drummond dominated the game simply by camping under the basket, actually trying to get rebounds, and easily depositing the ball in the hoop time after time. There weren't even particularly impressive dunks or crossover moves to break up the monotony. It was shaping up to be 40 minutes of a game that only barely resembled basketball, and seemed to only be fun for those playing in it.
Then Tim Hardaway Jr. and Dion Waiters happened. With 8:58 remaining in the game, Hardaway Jr., who had been shooting the ball aggressively all night but struggling to get his shots to go in, drilled a 3. Waiters came right back at him, drove, and got two free throws. Waiters and Hardaway both said they had something of a score to settle before the game, as Hardaway had made a 3 with the clock winding down in a Knicks blowout win over the Cavaliers on TNT earlier in the year, something that Waiters told Hardaway he would "get him back" for.
Hardaway said that Waiters had talked to him before the game and during the game, and that both of them were "trying to do a great job of just getting the fans involved. It was kind of dead in there, and we just wanted to start something, a little one-on-one battle here and there."
After Waiters made his free throws, the Waiters-Hardaway show had officially begun. Hardaway came right back down the court and drilled a 3. Waiters answered with a fadeaway jumper. Hardaway went to the hole and got free throws. Waiters got fouled and split free throws of his own. The players traded layups, then Hardaway set up his teammate for a layup.
After that, the three-point contest begun, as Waiters drilled a 3 in Hardaway's face and Hardaway answered with a pull-up 3 of his own — from 33 feet away. The crowd had come alive. Waiters came right back with a 3. Hardaway came back with a 31-footer, and the crowd was fully on its feet. When Hardaway missed a 3 after two Waiters free throws, the two players had combined for 27 points in just under 3 minutes. They weren't completely done, either, as they went head-to-head again a few minutes later to combine for 14 points in just under a minute.
Ultimately, Waiters got the better of the rookie on Friday, as he needed only 14 shots to get his 31 points and added 7 assists, while Hardaway Jr. needed 23 shots to get his 36 points and only managed to dish out two assists, and Waiters' team ultimately pulled out the victory. Still, the important thing is that both men combined to give NBA fans the kind of display you simply won't see often in the games that count, and one that made the Rising Stars Challenge anything but a forgettable affair.

To no one's surprise, overall radio revenue in 2014 ($14.9 billion) was flat compared to 2013 ($14.8 billion) -- that's according to BIA/Kelsey. Over-the-air radio revenue was $14.3 billion, compared to $14.3 billion in 2013, while online revenue was $636 million, compared to $570 million in 2013. BIA/Kelsey forecasts both sources of radio income will continue growing at a slow pace over the next few years, reaching $16.2 billion overall in 2019. BIA/Kelsey Senior VP Mark Fratrick says, "Local radio stations continue to maintain an important position in the local media marketplace. Last year, a slight declines in over-the-air revenues was offset by an increase in online revenues, resulting in steady overall revenues."

(By Jon Horton) If you have worked in sales for at least a week, you have surely been exposed to the concepts of features/benefits. Exposure, of course, doesn't guarantee comprehensive understanding.

(By Loyd Ford) We see it all the time. Pass-alongs. Radio passes along TMZ "stuff."

What if you shifted local content onto YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook that brought people back to your website, on-air, and in social media purposefully to start more local conversation?

Method and apparatus for processing a mix, preferably concrete mix
Image Number 5 for
United States Patent #4872760
A method according to the invention involves continuously moving a mix within a closed vessel having loading and discharge pipes at the ends thereof. The mix is subjected to oscillations during movement by means of a source of oscillations. A gate is provided in the vessel upstream the discharge pipe for contolling the cross-sectional area of the flow path of the vessel and for defining a sealed zone in the vessel with the mix being processed. During movement, the mix is heated to 100.degree. C. and above by passing electric current therein by means of an electrode installed in the vessel. Vapor is thus formed which penetrates the whole body of the mix so as to carry out uniform and rapid heating of all components of the mix.

Sebastian Vettel Wins Indian GP And His Fourth Straight F-1 Driver's Title
Sebastian Vettel demolished the opposition once again in India to secure his fourth straight Formula 1 driver's title, Red Bull's fourth consecutive constructor's crown, and takes his place in history alongside Michael Schumacher, Juan Manuel Fangio and Alain Prost as the only drivers to win four or more driver's titles.
The German crossed the finish line almost 30 seconds clear of Mercedes' Nico Rosberg and put a big time stamp on the season with three more races left to go.
It is surely undeniable now that he is one of the greatest drivers of all time. Vettel's detractors were still questioning at the start of this year whether the 26-year-old was simply being made to look good by his car. But after yet another season in which he has barely put down a wrong foot, utterly dominating his teammate Mark Webber – who again suffered an unfortunate fate in this race, being forced to retire from second place with an alternator failure – there can be no quibbling.
Vettel's and Red Bull's dominance may do nothing to help the overall spectacle. This was the German's sixth win on the trot, keeping him on target to tie Alberto Ascari's record of nine consecutive wins by the end of the season, but they cannot be faulted for that.
If you were to build the ideal prototype driver for modern-day Formula One, you would come up with something resembling Vettel. So now it is on to the heat and the sand of the big race in the desert, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix coming up this weekend, then it will be a week off before the Grand Prix of America in Austin, Texas on November 17.
