Blue Lobster Caught Off Coast Of Maine
News Desk
Follow @NewsTalkFlorida
In a 1-in-2 million catch, a blue lobster was caught off the coast of Maine this weekend.
Meghan LaPlante, 14, and her father Jay with the Miss Meghan Lobster Catch company found the blue lobster in one of their traps Saturday.
Scientists say the blue pigment is caused from a genetic defect and it may have saved the crustacean's life. The lobster, nicknamed "Skyler," will live at Maine's State Aquarium from now on.

By James Slater: As fans have possibly read by now, fast-talking, ultra-confident-sounding heavyweight contender Dereck Del Boy Chisora has predicted an 8th-round KO ahead of his fight with WBC heavyweight king Vitali Klitschko this Saturday night in Germany. The former British champ says his speed and unpredictability will be too much for 40-year-old Vitali to be able to cope with and that he will enjoy a magic round-eight.
I partially agree with the twice-beaten challenger, and I think Vitali will be given his toughest fight in a long, long time on Saturday. But will Chisoras prediction come true? In a word: NO. I do see Chisora coming in and really giving it a go, letting both hands fly as he does his absolute best to get inside Dr. Iron Fists punishing left jab and do damage. His knees not what they were and Vitalis work-rate more economical than in previous years, I can see the defending champ having to work hard to keep his challenger in his place. Vitali will get hit in this fight.
The big problem Chisora faces, however, is he wont be able to hurt the rock-chinned giant. Chisora will be busy, doing his best to tire Klitschko out, but even his best shots will be unable to stun Vitali. And, as experienced as he is and as masterful as Vitali is at pacing himself in a fight, it could well be Chisora who tires first. Make no mistake, it will be the challenger who has to take all the risks in the fight. But Chisora, not your average heavyweight fighter by any means (eccentric, fearless, unpredictable, even a little crazy) WILL make the fight exciting by taking risks. This will be no safety-first survival job.
I predict that a few, maybe three or four, of the earlier rounds will be won by the sheer effort put on by Chisora. Fans can expect a high punch output by the Londoner, thats for sure. It might not be pretty at times, but it sure will be fun to watch. But sooner or later - I think later, say round 9 or ten - an advancing Del Boy will walk onto something; either a crunching right hand or a left hook. His chin tested like never before and his entire being shocked to its core, a fatigued Chisora will crumple to the mat, unable to rise.
Chisora has predicted an 8th-round KO win - he may have the round right (or about right), but it will be he who falls. Afterwards, though, fans everywhere will be congratulating the challenger on a very game effort.
Prediction: a great, at times wild fight sees a gallant Chisora falling in the 9th-round.

Aaahhhh, I am all relaxed and ready to ride for a while!
I rode back toward the free campsite I had stayed the night before, but right before I got there decided to take a peek at White Fish lake, that also had 3 free camping spots. I am glad I did.
It was beautiful and very peaceful, and had only one other camper, a family of three.
At first I thought that 2 of the three sites were taken, but it turned out that the family really did not want to end up with some noisy days barking next to them, so they just planted a bunch of stuff on site 2 and "screened" the drive by's.
They did ask me if I wanted to camp on that site, but the other one actually had a flat spot so I took it.
Steve dropped by later and asked if I wanted to come over and have dinner.
I warmed up my Indian food, and went over.
His wife Nancy and son Mike were very nice too, they had made me a veggie shish kebab, very tasty!
We sat and had dinner and shared stories. One of them was hilarious!
Steve's friend, let's just call him Buddy, is a pretty big guy, and he had bought himself a mummy sleeping bag good for cold weather. So he goes of and camps out in the forest during the winter. Crawls in his mummy bag and goes to sleep.
Well, he ends up waking up in the middle of the night and find that he can't move his hands. Of course half asleep, and not thinking clearly, he panics thinking his arms were frozen, and tries to get up and out of the tent.
He finally manages to get on his knees and his face near the zipper so he can open the tent door with his teeth, only to have his tong get stuck to the freezing cold zipper head. After the door is open he has to yank his tong off the zipper, and he hops outside still stuck in his sleeping bag. Well Steve is mimicking the whole story, so it was pretty funny to watch as well! End of story is that after hopping a while Buddy realizes that he can feel his arms again, they had been asleep because he had been lying on them. LOL
I stayed at the campsite the next day and moved the rear wheel back a tad to tighten the chain that finally after a few thousand miles stretched a teensy bit.
I also got a chance to mend a few things that had broken, like the velcro on my tent, and gotten on pants.
As I was sewing, look what walked into my tent site and then walked out again. I followed it into the other site and took a picture
I had a blast watching a squirrel tackle a half apple that was on a bench, he was really chewing off some good sized chunks, and rolling around with that apple while doing it.
then a beautiful butterfly landed on the bench.
Then I ended the day with a shower out of the bag, and working on my paintings. Very relaxing.
Walked over to Steve and his family to let them know about the fox, and we took a group picture.
That sweater makes me look like I'm twice as beg! LOL! now I know what to wear when I see a bear!
Toward sunset I walked to the lake and I was glad I did, managed to take a good picture of the sunset
Broke camp early this morning and I am in Twin Harbor right now, heading for Duluth and Minnesota.
Am I awake, or am I dreaming?

Silent memories
Citizens unite to clean up Wichita County Cemetery
For decades, they were tucked away — out of sight, mind and memory to most.
Now a group of concerned citizens intends to do something about the souls who rest in the Wichita County Cemetery.
An ad hoc committee of veterans' representatives and county employees met Tuesday to map a plan for sprucing up the century-old graveyard.
Their goal is to organize community volunteers one day this spring to clean the grounds and reset markers, many of which have sunk into the earth or become overgrown by grass and weeds.
Joel Jimenez, commander of the Wichita Falls Disabled American Veterans, said the plight of the cemetery came to his attention last spring when a caller asked why no Memorial Day services were ever scheduled there.
"I had no idea there were veterans buried there," Jimenez said.
He and fellow-veteran Fred Gentry quickly organized a ceremony that drew a sizable crowd. They vowed to make it an annual event and put the cemetery back into good condition.
"The veterans there didn't do what they were asked to do halfway — why should they be honored halfway?" Gentry said at the meeting.
The plot contains the graves of about 45 known veterans, only about half of whom have markers denoting their military service, according to Curtis Dolberry, the Precinct 1 staffer in charge of taking care of the grounds. But he said the cemetery contains about 2,000 graves — many no longer marked — so many more veterans might be buried there.
"We probably have men going back to the Civil War," he said.
Glen Eikman with the Wichita County Veterans Office said the Veterans Administration will provide a free marker — at a family's request — to any deceased veteran. He suggested it might be possible to provide the plaques for many of the undesignated veterans' graves.
The county cemetery was placed on land once also shared by the county farm and county hospital. At the time of their creation before modern social services, the facilities were intended for poor people who had no place to stay, be treated — or be buried. While the farm and hospital are long gone, the county has continued to bury indigents there. Full burials were stopped several years ago because of expense and now only cremations and placement of ashes are done at county expense.
Although it was once nestled in an unobtrusive location, recent highway, business and residential development have given the cemetery between Armory Road and Grace Freeway increased visibility.
"We mow it, but we don't water," said County Judge Woody Gossom, who noted that the county only has one small crew to tend the grounds, in addition to their other duties.
Jimenez stressed that while the condition of the veterans' graves was the impetus for the cleanup effort, the idea is to refurbish the entire cemetery.
"We want this to be a community thing," he said.
He said personnel from Sheppard Air Force Base have offered to help with the restoration, but he'd also like to see service organizations and other groups pitch in.
The group picked March 29 as the tentative work date. Groups or individuals interested in helping are urged to call Eickman at the Wichita County Veterans Office at 716-8599.

my favourite british gamespot program
@kos_maverik That's true, but it sells for other different reasons.
@Super-Poke-Bros "it's not even really a gaming platform" Steve Jobs called the iPod Touch "The Most Popular Portable Game Player"! Actually iOS games outsell PSP and DS games combined ;)!
@Tigerace77 He's probably just goes with it cause he's hilarious and from the UK. So how's third grade coming along, anyway?
Origin is fine by me, like other's have mentioned it's simple easy and works well.
@106473; Totally agree with you mate, same story here. I've also met Origin at BF3 Alpha Trial; works perfect. It's simple and it is really nice. Nintendo on i0S ? wow, Pokemons on iPhone; sweet ^^
They should all use steam. Or just one big gaming software. I'm fed up of having all these crapware put on my computer when I want to play a game.
anybody else notice when that guy said pie in the begining he spat
Origin is fine, used it for BF3 Alpha no complaints.
Guy Cocker? What kind of name is that? Not only does the first name have an ambiguous meaning, but the last name is just full of sexual innuendos. For my comment, I have to recommend the host change his name or create a stage name. I just can't take anything serious, or of interest, with a name like that.
No comments?
You know what.... IF Nintendo does ever become a software company... I doubt it would be exclusively on Apple devices (it's not even really a gaming platform!). How crazy would it be to see Mario on PS3 :o This crazy stuff.

Former Day Laborer Pleads Guilty to DC Mall Slashings
by Associated Press
posted Jun 17 2013 5:12PM
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) - A former day laborer has pleaded guilty to sneaking up on multiple women in Fairfax County and cutting their backsides with a razor blade or box cutter.
Johnny Guillen Pimentel pleaded Monday in Fairfax County Circuit Court to two counts each of malicious wounding and unlawful wounding for the attacks, which occurred over several months in 2011.
He was suspected of slashing nine different women at various retail outlets, including Tysons Corner Center. The Washington Post reports (http://wapo.st/11GHLx2 ) that under a plea deal, five other counts were dropped.
Neither prosecutors nor Guillen Pimentel's attorney gave any indication of why he carried out the attacks.
He was arrested in January 2012 after fleeing to his native Peru.
He faces up to seven years in prison at a Sept. 6 sentencing.

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 11/10/14
MINNEAPOLIS The Minnesota Twins traded pitcher Francisco Liriano to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday, acquiring shortstop Eduardo Escobar and left-handed pitcher Pedro Hernandez, who will both be assigned to Triple-A Rochester. Liriano has played his entire big-league career with the Twins, dating back to 2003 when the team acquired him from the San Francisco Giants. He's started 130 of the 156 games in which he's appeared since his 2005 debut, accumulating a 50-52 record and a 4.33 ERA. The lefty was demoted to the bullpen this May after starting the season with an 0-5 record, but he resumed his duties as a starter on May 30 and since has gone 3-5 with a 3.68 ERA. This season marked another up-and-down year for a pitcher who was considered one of the Twins' best prospects in 2004 and 2005, but his strong outings recently made him a strong candidate for a trade to a contender such as the White Sox, who have a 2-12-game lead in the AL Central but were looking for another starting...

Catharine Pendrel won a gold medal for Canada at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Champery, Switzerland, on Saturday afternoon. It the first world title of Pendrel's career and the first elite women's cross country title for Canada since Alison Sydor won in 1996. Maia Wloszczowska (Poland) finished second and Eva Lechner (Italy) was third.
"There have been a few years of me getting sixth and fourth, but I never before got a world championship medal," said an elated Pendrel. "I was so consistent on the World Cup circuit in recent years, and I've always wanted to put it together on the big day. Today that finally happened."
On the start loop which preceded six full laps, Pendrel and Wloszczowska raced at the front together. Twelve seconds back, Gunn Rita Dahle Flesjaa (Norway) and Lechner chased. Alexandra Engen (Sweden), Irina Kalentieva (Russia) and Nathalie Schneitter (Switzerland) led the rest.
By the end of lap 1, Pendrel and Wloszczowska were firmly established in the lead together, with a 30-second advantage over Lechner and 45 seconds over Kalentieva and Dahle-Flesjaa. The two leaders appeared well matched and seemed to work together well.
Then, disaster struck on lap two for the defending world champion Wloszczowska. She flatted and Pendrel immediately pulled away.
"I got the flat tire on the longest downhill at the end of the lap," said Wloszczowska. "I finished the downhill riding my bike, and then I ran to the tech zone plus rode the flat a bit more. I'm happy that my crew made a good switch of the wheel and that I could get back in it and chase the others."
Wloszczowska got a fairly speedy wheel change, but it cost her 1:15 and a place as Lechner went past while she was in the pits. The Italian had moved ahead of Kalentieva while Dahle Flesjaa still chased in fifth
With one lap to go, Wloszczowska had powered her way back into second place and was just 36 seconds off Pendrel. The Polish rider looked strong and chased well, but Pendrel wasn't going to let go of her first chance to win the rainbow stripes.
"I was nervous knowing Maja was coming back for me," said Pendrel. "At the beginning of the race, I had realized we were riding equally. She was climbing exceptionally well. I tried to get the descent on that third lap, and that's when she flatted. I knew she could come back and was motivated."
The Canadian national champion crossed the line to add the title of world champion to her palmares. She finished in 1:46:14.
"In the days before the race, I had had an email from (former Luna teammate and past world champion) Alison Dunlap, and she said that at the Worlds, you have to race the last lap like it's a time trial. She won her Worlds by moving from third to first on her final lap. I don't know if a climb has ever hurt as badly as that last climb today."
Wloszczowska took silver 28 seconds later - she had made up some time, but it wasn't enough.
"It's ok to have silver. I'm happy with it," said Wloszczowska. "I feel like a winner today. I'm happy that Catharine won. I think somebody out there wanted me to have a flat tire because Catharine deserved the rainbow jersey like nobody else. I know I was strong to ride with her today, but it's life in sport. I'm glad I could get to the tech zone, get a wheel and still get on the podium. That was the greatest battle of my life today." The Polish rider may not have won the Worlds for the second time, but she rode like a world champion nonetheless.
Lechner ended up with bronze. "Today I had all the luck I was missing last year. It was a big battle. I always believed in my chances and gritted my teeth and fought hard the whole time. People were having problems everywhere. I was strong here last year, but this is really something very special."
Kalentieva held on to fourth at 2:05. The former world champion declined to speak with Cyclingnews after the event.
Schneitter overtook Dahle Flesjaa for fifth place and finished at 3:27, 13 seconds in front of the Norwegian.
Schneitter said she was spurred on by the crowds, including her fan club. "I had problems at the start and never had a chance to fight for the medals, but I moved up to fifth. I felt good and this shows that I can prepare for a big race and do well, so it's a good sign for the Olympic race next year." It was her best result yet this season and the best Worlds result for the third-year elite racer.
Dahle Flesjaa was happy to end her season on such a high note. "Being top six at a world championship is good. Being looked at as a medal candidate for this race, I wouldn't have dreamed that at the beginning of the season. I could feel very early on that I was missing that extra two to three percent today, but I still fought until the end. The most important thing is to be in good health again and to feel strong on my bike again."
It was a good day for the North Americans with three Canadians and four Americans in the top 20. Behind winner Pendrel, Emily Batty (Canada) was eighth and Marie Helene Premont was ninth. The Americans brought home 10th, 11th, 15th and 20th with Lea Davison, Heather Irmiger, Mary McConneloug and Georgia Gould.

Corruption costs European Union $207 billion a year: European Commission
Published on Feb 3, 2014 10:42 PM
BRUSSELS (AFP) - Corruption across the European Union's 28 countries costs some 120 billion euros (S$207 billion) per year, the European Commission said on Monday, urging member states to do more to stamp out the problem.
The EU's Home Affairs Commissioner Cecilia Malmstroem said the actual figure could be even higher, despite amounting to the EU's entire annual budget or a little less than one percent of the bloc's total economic output.
"This is an estimation," Ms Malmstroem said as she presented the report, the bloc's first, "so probably it is much higher".
The report will hopefully "spur the political will and the necessary commitment at all levels to address corruption more effectively across Europe", she said.

LOL the comfort word. My only regret with out boat is not having standing head room in the cabin. I have considered cutting the cabin roof astern of the mast step and raising the cabin height and eliminating the sliding companion way hatches and installing a sea door from the cockpit. The downside being windage from a greater cabin height. We also intend to use seawater for bathing and washing when fresh water is not available. We will also be using a custom made foldable canvas funnel to collect rain water to replenish the fresh water tankage. I have also been inclined to have on board the water purifiers that one uses for backpacking in the wilds.

Charter Communications doesn't intend to use the less-expensive digital transport adapters to ease its switch to digital, according to CEO Tom Rutledge. The cable provider's preferred method is to deploy interactive set-top boxes, which offer a more user-friendly interface and links to video on demand and other popular offerings, Rutledge said in a call with analysts.

King's daughters, Patty King and Karen Williams, made the accusations in separate, but identically worded, affidavits filed over the weekend.
"I believe my father was poisoned and that he was administered foreign substances to induce his premature death," they said in their affidavits. "I believe my father was murdered."
King died May 14 in home hospice care in Las Vegas at age 89.
No investigation was conducted at the time of his death. And King's attending physician listed the cause as multi-infarct dementia, which is caused by a series of small strokes.
But the daughter's say that two of King's associates gave him medication to induce diabetic shock.

Jesse Jackson Speaks at the Democratic National Convention
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JESSE JACKSON: Thirty-three years ago tonight, a young preacher about the same age as my son was putting the final touches on one of the great prophetic messages of our age.
On August 28, 1963, Dr. King projected a vision of peace and equality that could heal our nation, and a troubled world. His vision touched America's conscience. The Republicans in San Diego put forward the image, the vision, of a big tent.
Remember, America – you can't judge a book by its cover. On the cover, Powell and Kemp. But inside, the book was written by Newt Gingrich and Ralph Reed and Pat Buchanan. What is our vision tonight? Just look around.
This publicly financed United Center is a new Chicago mountaintop. To the South, Comiskey Park, another mountain. To the west, Cook County Jail, with its 11,000 mostly youthful inmates.
Between these three mountains lies the canyon. Once Campbell's Soup was in this canyon. Sears was there, and Zenith, Sunbeam1, the stockyards. There were jobs and industry where now there is a canyon of welfare and despair. This canyon exists in virtually every city in America. As we gather here tonight:
- one-fifth of all American children will go to bed in poverty;
- one-half of all African-American children, growing up amidst broken sidewalks, broken families, broken cities, broken dreams;
- the No. 1 growth industry in urban America – jails;
- one-half of all the public housing built in this nation during the last decade – jails; – the top 1 percent wealthiest Americans own as much as the bottom 95 percent – the greatest inequality since the 1920s.
As corporations downsize jobs, outsource contracts, scab on workers' rights, a class crisis emerges as a race problem. The strawberry pickers in California, the chicken workers in North Carolina, deserve a hearing – and justice. We must seek a new moral center. We have been here before.
The last time we gathered in Chicago, high winds ripped our tent apart. We could not bridge the gap. We lost to Nixon by the margin of our despair. In 1968, the tension within our party was over welfare. In 1996, it's welfare.
Last week, over the objections of many Democratic Party leaders, and the opposition of millions of Americans, Franklin Roosevelt's six-decade guarantee of support for women and children was abandoned. On this issue, many of us differ with the president. Patricia Ireland and I even picketed the White House.
But we can disagree and debate, and still work together. Diversity is the measure of this party's strength; how we handle adversity, the measure of our character.
We must find the bridge, keep our tent intact. And we must make the commitment to right the wrongs in this bill.
Now that we have ended welfare as we know it, we must provide jobs and job training and education and day care as we ought to know it.
The fight was never about welfare, but always about jobs and opportunity. Welfare is the exhaust pipe of a failed economic engine. We want to be a part of the engine of growth.
The passage of the welfare bill creates a moral imperative to provide a job with a living wage for every man and woman in America. That was Roosevelt's dream, and Dr. King's. What is our obligation to the people in the canyon?
First, we must claim and reclaim our children. We must lift our children up, not lock them up. Instead of three strikes and you're out, we must have 4 balls and you're on:
- pre-natal care and Head Start, ball one;
- an adequately funded education, ball two;
- access to a marketable skill or a college education, ball three;
- a good job at a living wage, ball four.
Eleven-thousand youthful inmates to our West, without treatment, most return sicker and slicker.
We need a trade policy that works for working people. Right now, we subsidize corporate welfare to take jobs out of the canyon.
I recently visited Indonesia, and I am clear on this: When corporations can downsize and outsource to nations which pay 30 cents an hour, our workers cannot compete – nor should they have to.
And tonight, labor leader Muchtar Pakpahan and opposition leader Mrs. Megawati face government interrogation and harassment. Respect for human rights must remain a nonnegotiable part of fair trade.
In the canyon, we must have a plan to rebuild and redeem our cities, to reinvest in America.
I suggest we have at least as much sense as the honey bee, which knows enough to repollinate her flower. When the Berlin Wall came down, we offered Poland a development bank – 40-year loans, three-fourths of 1 percent, first payment due in 10 years.
America has $6 trillion in private and public pension funds. We could take 5 percent of the workers' money, with workers' consent, government secured, to rebuild our infrastructure.
It will not increase taxes. After World War II, we helped rebuild Germany – the Marshall Plan. We helped rebuild Japan – the MacArthur Plan. Now we must rebuild America.
Sometimes, though, you have to play good defense before you get back on offense.
President Clinton has been our first line of defense against the Newt Gingrich-Contract on America-right-wing assault on our elderly, our students, our civil rights.
We must maintain that line of defense – and protect the first lady, too, from their mean-spirited attacks. We must re-elect the president and take back the Congress, and stop the right-wing train in its track.
In l994, the Gingrich tidal wave was not so high; our sea walls were too low. With only 40,000 more voters, Newt Gingrich would never have taken power.
This low turnout cannot repeat itself in l996; we must inspire and mobilize our base vote – the margin of our hope.
The stakes are so very high.
This year, for the first time in our lives, the right-wing extremists – Dole, Gingrich, Lott, Armey, Helms, and Scalia-Thomas – have a chance to take over all three branches of government. This would be an unparalleled disaster for our people.
Our job is to win in November.
Our mission is to lift America up with a higher vision, to redeem the canyon, to find the moral center.
In this season of high stakes and critical choices, if you don't vote, you are irrelevant to the process. If you go along to get along, you're a coward. Only by principled engagement can you be a force for change and hope.
Remember our history: Progress comes through an enlightened president, in coalition with an energized people.
In 1932, FDR did not run on a New Deal platform. The people mobilized around their economic plan, and FDR responded with the New Deal.
FDR was the option. The people provided the answer.
In 1960, neither Kennedy nor Nixon ran for president on the promise of a public accommodations bill. But Dr. King supported Kennedy. JFK was the best option.
Desegregated public accommodations came from Greensboro and Birmingham, from the sit-ins and marches and street heat. From we, the people, in motion.
In 1964, neither Goldwater nor Johnson campaigned on the Voting Rights Act. But Dr. King supported LBJ; he was the best option. We won voting rights on the bridge at Selma.
We, the people provided the answer.
In 1996, Bill Clinton is our best option. The cross is on his shoulders. But burdens shared are easier to bear.
We, the people must organize and mobilize to help the president provide a better answer for America.
In Tracy Chapman's words, we must "start all over, make a new beginning … make new symbols … redefine the world."
After November, we, the people must hold on to the moral center, and continue to fight for expansive, inclusive, humane politics in America.
This is our mission. It is a vision worth struggling for.
Keep hope alive.

Thanks for the heads-up on the iPhone/iPod touch Street Fighter IV app.
It's about the third or fourth different way I've done at least a little donation to the victims of Japan's terrible earthquake and tsunami.
In addition on iTunes, from now to March 20, 2011, "100% of Sega's proceeds from Sonic the Hedgehog iOS titles will be donated to the Red Cross disaster relief efforts in Japan..."

No wonder they're not catching on elsewhere.

First, I just want to offer my condolences to those who lost loved ones in the recent mayhem. I hope these goodwill efforts continue until they can get back on their feet again.
Wow every series I ever played and wanted to comment about all right here. I must speak my words!
SaGa: SaGa has had a weird and somewhat baffling history here. Other than the moronic name changes for the earliest entries, it wasn't until Frontier that I got introduced to such a unique playing experience. LP, discouraged grinding, minimal money drops, emphasis on sidequests, I was interested to say the least. When I learned there had been other SaGas before Frontier, I noticed they all relied on the unique factors mentioned. So I stayed on until the second Frontier came out, which threw the tradition of the series out the window with linear gameplay and very few sidequests, pretty much dropping back into familiar JRPG standards. Suffice it to say, it was harder to finish (evil, evil final boss ) but still fun. Unlimited is what ultimately brought the series to a standstill. It was so unbalanced and stupid yet I managed to make the most of it. Then the big news hit when they announced the remake of the first Romancing SaGa coming here. That one was amazing and I can only hope they consider remaking 2 and 3 at some point. They still like their SaGa games over there, I'm not so sure about the U.S.
Lufia: Ah nostalgia how you bite my tookus! Lufia was an amazing RPG series I couldn't stop obsessing over (though truthfully I never played The Legend Returns). The 2nd game especially held a special place in my heart. I recall how I spent hours coming up with new ways to enjoy my many playthroughs as a kid. I don't own a DS so I never got to continue onto that remake but I heard it was drastically altered in a way that changed the story to a light comedy. That thought nauseates me deeply. I'm glad at least the original game is being released on VC. I probably can never play Lufia 2 again though. I can't vouch for Ruins of Lore, it was awful, glitchy and didn't have anything "Lufia" going for it other than its name (had nothing to do with the Sinistrals).
Breath of Fire: Ah now this is a series for a dragon nut like me. So I wonder what happened. Oh right, Dragon Quarter, the series' worst entry to date. A shame Ryu and friends don't just get cameos in other RPGs. Heck, I imagine they'd have fit right in with Namco x Capcom and Cross Edge. Marvel vs Capcom could have definitely been a great chance for Capcom to bring back the awesomeness of morphing a blue haired teenager into a massive badass dragon or even watch one of his companions be ruthless in the ring (Garr and Scias both come to mind), but sadly they just don't care about BoF anymore.
Suikoden: Now here's a unique series whose first two games captivated me. While the 3rd game tried to be new, it was mediocre at best. 4 was an absolute trainwreck of the worst kind. It was so bad I quickly sold it off. 5 thankfully revived what I remembered made me love the series to begin with. A shame Tierkreis was so lackluster. Heck we never got the Suikogaidens here. At least the numerous races kept the game fresh (though 4's Nay-Kobolds were so generically sappy I don't count them; come on, cat people, seriously?).
Star Ocean: This space opera is done, people need to understand that. The creator of the series declared that Last Hope was the final entry. It was an ugly game that sat on the popularity laurels of its predecessors. Personally I was glad to finally put it down. I didn't even bother with Gabriel and Iseria like I traditionally do; that's how bad the game was for me. The character designs and wholly unremarkable English dub (the Japanese voices were generic as hell so no seiyu purist comments here please) put off people, not to mention ruining Item Creation further with only being able to do it on your ship. The story and lack of actual party recruitment options were similarly bad. About the only thing there was to enjoy was the chaotic combat. I personally find First Departure much better than Last Hope, simplistic as it is.
Special note: Valkyrie Profile is still the better series. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants a VP Hrist to be planned.
Wild Arms: Now this has been a great series so far. Mixing the Wild West with swords, sorcery, monsters, demons, alien spaceships, nanotechnology and a wasteland planet made for a great bunch of RPGs. I never once disliked this series (except for 2's awkward translation issues) and I always found myself replaying them constantly. XF wasn't too bad; a bit different but not badly executed in the least. I hope a WA6 is on its way. I need more Wild West craziness (especially after seeing Rango recently )!
Grandia: Yeah after the failure that was III, I don't expect any future Grandia games. That online game is crap because it's an MMO, one of the worst moves ever. Grandia 1 and 2 were better received than Xtreme and III (though Xtreme gets praise for having no load times whatsoever). This series is dead. We didn't even get the Digital Museum special or Parallel Trippers.
Atelier: I'm relieved we've kept this series going at least. True we got Iris since it was more combat driven (I'm quite certain the alchemy tasks of Marie and Elie would have been too boring for the average American gamer brain of pre-2000) than the previous girls but at least it allowed us to get up to Rorona. Sadly, Marie and Vio's first appearances here were courtesy of zany crossover RPGs. I just hope we get Totori and that new girl that was just announced. Mana Khemia 1 was great but 2 was so moronic.
Shadow Hearts: Another great series that suffered shut down. I know the third game was considered the silliest of Shadow Hearts but it was still dark and creepy enough. Creative series like these get the axe once people lose interest. The casts of these games were among the most memorable in RPG history. A shame about Arms Heart not being well received.
Xenosaga: I had such fond memories of the first game, hated the second one to death and finished the last with a sad face. Honestly what went wrong with this series? Why did people hate the first one so much? Anime style characters? Lol, what did you 2002 dummies expect, character designs by Marvel? It's a JRPG, hello. Too many cutscenes? It's called expository. Just because you fell asleep in reading class doesn't mean you have to whine about too many words being spoken. Regardless of my bitterness toward those who essentially wrecked the series and forced Monolith to churn out that abomination of a second game, the series died in the vacuum of space long ago. Poor KOS-MOS has been reduced to Tales cameos now (last time I saw her was in Hearts) while Shion and MOMO got bit parts with her in NxC (along with Allen who got like one scene during their prologue). What about chaos, Ziggy, Jr. and Jin? Farewell Xenosaga, I really wanted to see six episodes.
Duodecim: I think I might get this one. I'm debating still though.

It's a real shame the whole Xenosaga project fell apart. I absolutely loved episode one. I so wish it had been better recieved and the series had continued on along the same path. It could have been absolutely epic.
As for Shadow Hearts, I got half way through the first one before losing interest. I liked the darker tone and unconventional setting. However, I felt like the game never really found a style of it's own. It's just sort of an odd hodgepodge and nor does it quite manage to effectively blend all this together into something that works (a la Soul Calibur). That, and also, graphically speaking, the game just looks like ass.
I despise Star Ocean though. I picked up the third one expecting to at least get something free of the usual fantasy cliches. It's not even that it's a terrible game. It's just so misleading though.
Well, let's all hope it's another Resonance of Fate. That game was awesome even if it was also in dire need of some revisions. Of course, I'm skeptical that it did well enough to merit a sequel.

I have been hoping for ages that Suikoden I or II would someday get a remake or appear on the PSN in the US, since it seems we'll never get the psp versions as they did badly in Japan. Those two games are absolutely amazing, so it's unfortunate nothing has come up. V isn't that bad either, but I think II really stands out the most for the series. If it wasn't for the funky english translation the game would've been perfect.
I'm also kind of bummed Shadow Hearts died off, but honestly I don't mind it. I think it had a good run and there isn't really much they could do with it since they wrapped up the main stories. Unless they wanted to make a spin-off about the Valentine family or something...
As for Saga, maybe they just don't want to release them here anymore because of what happened with the ps2 games, like Unlimited. They weren't received very well compared to the old games, so maybe they just think the games have a bad view here. I wouldn't mind seeing more of them, though. I loved Frontier and the games have all always had beautiful artwork.

I love the battle system in the Grandia games. It's like a mini version of a turn based strategy game. My favorite part is planning out how to delay the enemy attacks. Fond memories.
Knowing the chances of another game in that series are slim, I have locked up my copies of Grandia games in hopes that one day I will be able to emulate them well (PS2 emulation kinda difficult for me).

Dude, I LOVED the combat system in the 2nd game. So much so that when I saw how dumbed down it became for the 3rd game I almost thought about stopping playing it. Once you get the hang of it and start doing 13-attack elemental combos on an enemy still up in the air from the first attack, that feeling of awesome is rarely matched.
The Xenosaga 2 combat system, and how it was received, is what I always point to when people whine that JRPG battle systems are all bland and not innovative. The reason is whenever they try something truly awesome, those same people then whine that it is overcomplicated and unplayable....

Yes, they admitted that they wrote themselves into a corner with 3 so they decided to just end the series instead of milk its name for no reason. If anything they'll probably just continue the Valkyrie Profile series.
As for Xenosaga, I can probably name why that series failed: the lack of Masato Kato. He wasn't around for 'Saga, but was one of the writers on Gears which was infinitely more focused and interesting. Heck, the only Monolith Soft I actually really LIKED was Baten Kaitos AND THAT WAS WRITTEN BY KATO.
And just by the Parasite Eve PSN releases. Seriously, 3rd Birthday SUCKS, it's an insult to the creators of the games and even to Sena who wrote the novel the series was a sequel to. Motomu Toriyama once again proves that he's a no-talent hack.

The Shadow Hearts titles are what got me back into RPGs after a long hiatus. I still hold them as my second favorite franchise after Persona. They've got a fun battle system that keeps you on your toes, amazing writing, really fun characters, and a wonderfully absurd setting that doesn't even pretend to be historically accurate (the first game has Mata Hari joining your party and her special attacks all involve calling people on cellphones. In 1913.)
I miss the franchise, but I'm okay with it having ended where it did. Story-wise, there wasn't much more to do. Koudelka basically serves as a prologue, with SH 1 and 2 telling the main story (and what a story it is.) SH 3 is a great game, but has very little plot connection to the others; its plot basically ties up a loose end from SH 2's story.
There's something to be said for leaving the stage at the right time, and the Shadow Hearts games did this, even if it wasn't completely intentional. I'd love to see a compilation of all four games for the PS3, though this is probably impossible.

I absolutely adore Parasite Eve 1&2. Looking forward to The 3rd Birthday.
Only played Saga Frontier, but I really liked the multiple character aspect.
Breath of Fire 3&4 are both good, although I have yet to finish either one.
I've only played Suikoden 3 and 5, but I enjoyed them both, especially 5.
Star Ocean 2 is great, 3 is OK, 4 was just bad.
Never beat the original Wild Arms due to memory card deletion, but I did beat Wild Arms 3&4. 3 was better.
I absolutely love love love Grandia 1-3 ( 2 the most), and it really sucks that they are working on a Online version that's already failed before it's done. I'd prefer a 360/PS3 Grandia 4 myself.
Shadow Hearts: Covenant is one of the best games on PS2. It's just plain amazing.
Xenosaga lost my interest at 2, it was so bad. To bad I've still never played Xenogears all the way through.

You actually missed the cellphone game, Pied Piper, which had its battle system and the entire backstory for Ziggy.

I totally agree with this. I don't actually know of any SH fans that are upset about the fact that they wont be getting new games, because the series perfectly and definitively concluded.
I must also say that while I'm not pining for any more Breath of Fire games, I really, really disagree with your assessment of the first two. Those were some of the most fun, engrossing, and emotional tales I've ever had the pleasure to experience.

The 2nd one was the pinnacle of the series. That had everything a good RPG should have and more. I wish Capcom makes a remake of that someday.

House of 1000 Manga - Sunny
The acclaimed author of Gogo Monster turns in a highly personal series of vignettes that offer a peek into his life. ― Sunny In my House column on Taiyo Matsumoto's GoGo Monster, I mentioned how the alt-manga master's career has drifted from fantasy to realism, toward work that feels increasingly drawn from life.

Where the first box set of this slice-of-weird-life show trod some unusual ground in terms of female-oriented fanservice and over the top kookiness...

During the period, 54 new magazine titles were launched, including Plum Miami, Gourmet Italian Kitchen and Harmony Magazine, double the 25 launched in the first quarter of 2010.
Regional interest, food and women's titles were the most popular categories for magazine publishers to launch into.
Twenty-five magazines folded during the quarter, the same as in Q1 2010.
The net total of magazines in circulation in the US increased by 22.
Reports claim the crafts category saw the biggest losses in 2011's first quarter, with titles including Access Direct TV, Continental and Parade HealthyStyle axed.
Fipp, the global magazine trade body, reported that the UK saw 106 cross-border magazine launches in the 12 months to September 2010, according to its World Magazine Trends 2010-2011.
News of the reinvigoration of the American magazine industry comes as the UK gears up for the annual magazine conference held by the PPA, the Professional Publishers Association, on Wednesday 4 May.

Microsoft Attempts to Boost Search Traffic By Paying Users
Will You Switch From Google to Microsoft If You're Paid?
by Tech
Like us on Facebook
Microsoft's desperation to compete with Google has resulted in them offering to pay you to use their search engine. For using Microsoft's search to find products to buy, users would be reimbursed 2 to 5 percent, if the store were participating, of course. Online retailers like eBay and Home Depot have already signed up for Live Search cashback, as it's called.
I already use eBates, which does pretty much the same as what Live Search cashback will do, and even if I didn't, I wouldn't stop Googling. Two percent of my online purchases - which don't make up that much of my personal search activity anyway - is just not a replacement for the quality of the search results. But what about you? Would you switch to Microsoft search if you were paid?

I'm sorry, but don't get me started on how wrong it is that M$ is trying to buy people over to their crappier services, cause I don't like to badmouth people, even corporate bigwigs. Don't get me wrong, Microsoft makes some good products, like the XBox/XBox 360, but they also make some really, really poor ones (for example, Windows ME *shudder*), and, in my opinion, it's clear that Google is superior to MSN Live Search, and no amount of money they try to throw at me is going to change my opinion on this.

It's kind of telling when a company has to bribe people to use their service, especially when another company is offering the same thing (or better) for free.

That's pathetic, and sort of useless - there are already plenty of sites that you can buy through to be reimbursed of a percentage of the total. For a search engine, I need something fast and reliable, so I'm sticking to Google!

Ariel Castro sits with his head down between his attorneys Jaye Schlachet (R) and Craig Weintraub (L) during his pre-trial hearing on charges including rape, kidnapping and murder in Cleveland, Ohio in this file photo taken June 19, 2013. Castro, a former Cleveland school-bus driver accused of imprisoning three women in his home for a decade, was ordered in a hearing Wednesday to under go a competency evaluation this week. REUTERS/Aaron Josefczyk/Files (UNITED STATES - Tags: CRIME LAW)
The Cleveland man who allegedly kidnapped and held captive three women in his basement for more than a decade has been deemed mentally fit to stand trial.
A judge said during a hearing Wednesday morning that an examination found that 52-year-old Ariel Castro is mentally able to understand the charges and assist attorneys in his defense.
Castro has pleaded not guilty to a 329 count indictment that includes multiple kidnapping and rape charges. He's being held on an $8 million bond.
Authorities accuse him of kidnapping the women between 2002 and 2004 when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. A trial is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 5.
His head hung low, Castro murmured answers to the Cuyahoga County Judge Michael Russo's questions with simple phrases, never saying more than a few words.
"Yes," he said he did understand why he went to get a mental evaluation last week, which he said lasted two hours.
The most Castro spoke was when he asked the judge to allow him to see the 6-year-old girl he fathered with one of his alleged victims while she was held captive at his home. Castro asked about visitation rights twice to prosecution objections that the request went against an order of no contact.
Russo said he would not allow Castro visitation rights during the trial process.
"I just think that would be inappropriate," he said.
The judge restricted Castro's contact beyond his attorneys to monitored phone calls and letters with his mother and sister.
Prosecutor Timothy McGinty said the indictment against Castro only covers August 2002 to February 2007, and said Wednesday he will introduce a new indictment with more charges at the next pre-trial, set for July 24.
In a brief hearing on June 12, Castro entered a not guilty plea to the crimes.
None of the three young women were older than 20 when they went missing between 2002 and 2004. Michelle Knight was the first of Castro's alleged victims and disappeared on Aug. 22, 2002 at the age of 20. Just shy of a year later, 16-year-old Amanda Berry went missing on April 21, 2003. Georgina "Gina" DeJesus, 14 years old at the time, disappeared on April 2, 2004.
Police were within earshot of the women more than a thousand times, as they visited Seymour Ave. frequently for emergency calls. The women and Berry's 6-year-old daughter escaped through the house's storm door May 6, 2013.
Among the rape and kidnapping charges, Castro faces a charge of aggravated murder, as Knight told investigators Castro allegedly impregnated and then forced her to have a miscarriage during the time she was captive in his home.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
