The only thing that I want that the Wii U has is Bayonetta 2. Still because of the game I am not buying a Wii U. I'll just stick to my PS3 and Vita.
Nintendo is doomed!!! they need to act quick, droop the price of the Wii-U and focus on the portable devices... the Wii-U does not go along with the current console generation, it came a few years later
Nintendo is done. They could've saved their company years ago when they had the chance to capitalize on skylanders but didn't have the foresight to do so. I give the company 5 to 6 years before they end up like Atari.
Maybe if they stopped churning out Mario games every year and did something different their sales would be higher. Just saying.
NINTENDO!!!! Please dear god would you get off your high horse and read what the industry wants!! This path you have taken started years ago when you were just to high and mighty to provide backwards compatibility.. Funny Strange upstart Chinese manufactures make a console that plays N64, Super Nes and NES games all in one for under a 100 dollars. Then comes game cube with no internet, No DVD player and screwy Low Storage Mini disc's because for some reason you think that's what people want.. Then comes the Neutered Wii with a New revolutionary Control system that has now mostly been abandoned. and again you miss the mark.. No HD Capable Games..While the dying PS2 is already flirting with that. and no Hard drive. All because you were afraid the Pirates would have a field day.. well guess what the Wii is the most pirated system of all time. Then comes the Wii U and all your promises and still no DVD no Blu-ray No Hard drive but again a controller no one asked for and makes a leap pad look like a third gen Ipad. Would you finally give the people what they want 1) A POWERFUL SYSTEM WITH THE GOODS TO GO TEN YEARS.. 2) QUIT REMAKING ALL YOUR OLD GAMES.. CANT YOU EVEN COME UP WITH ONE ORIGINAL IDEA?? 3) PUT IN THE DAMNED BLU RAY DRIVE ALREADY ..OR BE BLAZIN WITH A 4K DRIVE. AND LASTLY PLEASE FIRE YOUR AGING ADVISORS WHO STILL THINK IT THE 80'S IF YOU WANT TO TAKE BACK THE INDUSTRY AND BE NUMBER ONE YOU CAN...JUST GO AND DO IT AND QUIT CUTTING CORNERS.
Do I dare guess that you are working on Wii 3? or the 4ds? (it makes your games go back in time to play older.. WAIT YOUR DOING THAT NOW!!..see what I mean??)
New System. New IP's that will make the competition blush this is your time the industry is sluggish everywhere Be Bold and take it back. Or suffer 1983 all over again, but this time you will be the ones going out of business.
Watch Nintendo will bring the house down come E3
Nintendo really need to lower the price of the system or abandon it. I wpuld love to see them selling WiiUs extremly cheap (like $100 cheaper) and with at least one free game added (how about a Nintendoland, nsmb and ww bundle?) I own the system, I love it and I don't wanna see it die. So Nintendo go and do something for it. Like announce a Pokemon mmorpg with monthly subscription instead of another remake on a handheld
i cant say im supprised they have lost 457 million they release the console then put hardly any games out for it, all they need to do is start releasing some new games for the wiiu, like fzero, zelda, mario galaxy 3 etc etc in the 1st yr the wiiu was released i think nintendo put out about 2 or 3 games for it, if that, like most nintendo console owners i bought it for the nintendo exclusives and its really lacking here
There are no words for how jarring it is to click something expecting Jess McDonell and instead see a close-up shot of an unshaven man.
As for Nintendo, they've been content to recycle franchises for 20 years under the notion that children haven't played their games repeatedly. While it's a fair idea, it will limit their audience and they can't seriously expect to fare much better than they are right now.
@XCyberForceX They have 80 some billion dollars to burn through before they die. I agree that Nintendo has made some very poor choices, but they're not even remotely close to done and I wouldn't be surprised if they still make a profit this generation.
They are a dinosaur.
Too arrogant to see the meteor.
@kereke12 bring the house down? maybe for the 3Ds...
as far as the Wii U , here is its' future :
Mario Kart
Zelda(2015...L fkin O + L )
and that's it. I'm not even going to own the wiiU anymore when Zelda is released. The wii had more interesting titles, and it was garbage.
@youre_a_sheep Worse then limit their audience, they've lost it :). I keep repeating the same thing in Nintendo discussions, they are no longer the automatic winner with kids they once were.

The word comes ultimately from the Italian parapetto (parare = to cover/defend and petto =breast). The German term Brustwehr has the same significance.
Parapets may be plain, embattled, perforated or paneled, which are not mutually exclusive terms.
Parapets surrounding roofs are extremely common in London. This dates from the Building Act of 1707 which banned projecting wooden eaves in the cities of Westminster and London as a fire risk. Instead an 18-inch brick parapet was required, with the roof set behind. This was continued in many Georgian houses, as it gave the appearance of a flat roof which accorded with the desire for classical proportions.
Bridge parapets may be made from any material, but structural steel, aluminium, timber and reinforced concrete are common. They may be of solid or framed construction.
In European standards, parapets are defined as a sub-category of "vehicle restraint systems" or "pedestrian restraint systems".

'Remember Sunday': Alexis Bledel and Zachary Levi fall in love over and over
Rory Gilmore is growing up.
That may be hard for "Gilmore Girls" devotees to deal with, especially since the mother-daughter drama remains evident in repeats on both ABC Family and SoapNet, but Alexis Bledel is offering confirmation that time marches on. Seen last year in several episodes of AMC's acclaimed "Mad Men," the former Rory returns to television in ABC's new Hallmark Hall of Fame drama "Remember Sunday," airing Sunday, April 21.
The New Orleans-set tale casts the actress as lovelorn waitress Molly, who wants to be a florist and becomes interested in jewelry store clerk Gus (portrayed by television's former "Chuck," Zachary Levi).
However, she remains a virtual stranger to him since he can't recall what happened the day before, the result of a brain aneurysm. She begins to take his forgetfulness personally until she learns the reason, then commits herself -- temporarily, at least -- to renewing their relationship from square one on a daily basis.
Bledel doesn't deny the "Remember Sunday" teleplay by Oscar and Emmy winner Barry Morrow ( "Rain Man," "Bill") shares the basic theme of the 2004 Adam Sandler-Drew Barrymore movie comedy "50 First Dates," but she believes it has extra substance.
"I read the script and found myself really invested in it," she tells Zap2it. "I cared about the main characters and wanted to see them end up happy, so I thought this would be interesting to do, based on that."
Also, Bledel likes the spirit of her alter ego Molly. "She's a person capable of almost anything," she says. "She has a positive outlook, but she also has a huge heart, and I've been lucky enough to meet some people like her in my own life. They're endlessly inspiring because every day, they wake up knowing there are so many possibilities, not just for themselves but for others.
"It seems far-fetched when you first think of the concept," Bledel notes of the element of continual memory loss, "but in reality, this is something that happens to people more than one might think. We're actually quite delicate creatures, and the balance of physical health and mental health can be upset by something at any moment. This take on it is interesting because Molly doesn't know about Gus' condition for quite some time; he's just trying to get by day to day, much less let somebody new into his life."
The couple's deepening challenges proved another big lure for Bledel. "She can love him the way he is, but it's not easy," she says. "It's certainly healthier for people to find a natural fit, but some people have a very unique capability because they've been through difficult things themselves. And it proves to be the right match for them because of their own history. Two people can bring all that baggage with them and find something that makes both of their lives better, and to me, that's real."
With her background of weekly TV work, model-turned-actress Bledel appreciated that Levi came to the "Remember Sunday" set familiar with the same pace, especially with the project being largely a two-actor piece.
"We shot this really fast," she reports, "and it still looks great. And yes, being on a series for a long time helped."
So did having award-caliber talent behind the camera, also including Emmy-winning director Jeff Bleckner ( "Hill Street Blues," "Concealed Enemies"). "There are so many filmmakers who work in television now, the TV movie is kind of an evolving genre," reasons Bledel, whose theatrical film credits ranged from "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" to "Sin City." "You get the kinds of stories you used to get in the feature world on TV now, so it's kind of cool."
"Remember Sunday" is airing amid a spate of fresh activity for Bledel on both the professional and personal fronts. She's filmed the pilot for a proposed Fox comedy for next season -- "Friends & Family," inspired by the British hit "Gavin & Stacey" and teaming her with a more recent colleague of "Gilmore Girls" mom Lauren Graham, Jason Ritter ( "Parenthood") -- and she's engaged to actor Vincent Kartheiser, her principal co-star and love interest during her relatively brief "Mad Men" tenure.
"She was someone who struggled with real depression," Bledel recalls of her "Mad Men" character, Beth, who had an affair with 1960s advertising man Pete Campbell despite their marriages to others. "There was a sort of darkness about her that she couldn't escape, and she was looking for somebody to lift her out of it. She almost had a habit of doing that, I think, and playing her helped me understand the Gus-and-Molly relationship in this.
"As you get older, you personally experience more that you're able to add to characters as an actor. It was a great break to play Molly after playing Beth, because she has this lightness about her. It was such a pleasure to read the part, then to play her. You get to be that person for a time."

Arizona Diamondbacks
Mining for Paul Goldschmidt's gold
Paul Goldschmidt is a really bad source if you're looking for information on Paul Goldschmidt.
Even while atop the baseball world -- as he is now, with some of the best offensive numbers in all of baseball over the last three weeks -- the Diamondbacks' 24-year-old first baseman cannot be flattered nor coaxed into saying much of anything about himself.
But there are plenty of others lined up who are more than eager to do that for him.
"Paul's an easy one to talk about," said Goldschmidt's high school baseball coach at The Woodlands High School in The Woodlands, Texas, Ron Eastman. "He's about as hard- working and as humble a young man as you could ever want in your program."
Eastman isn't alone in such sentiment. He shares it with, well, just about anyone you'll talk to about Goldschmidt, regardless of how well they may know him.
Last September, Goldschmidt's college coach, Ty Harrington of Texas State, was at Chase Field to celebrate an old roommate, Greg Swindell, who was being honored along with the rest of the Diamondbacks' 2001 World Series team. And Harrington was also in town to, in his words, "watch one of his favorite players" -- Goldschmidt -- who had been called up to the big leagues just a month before.
Throughout the game, the two couples sitting in front of Harrington seemed intrigued by the bits they were hearing of the coach's conversation, intermittently peeking over their shoulders and turning their ears to get a better listen. Then, later in the game, after hearing several innings' worth of pretty enlightened baseball conversation, one of the ladies turned around to ask Harrington who he was -- whether he was a coach or somehow connected to the Diamondbacks organization.
After some digging, the four learned of Harrington's relationship with Goldschmidt and engaged in a full-blown, backs-to-the-field conversation with the coach. But before they got too far, they had to know: "Is Paul really that humble?" Harrington, jazzed by the opportunity to brag on his old first baseman, smiled and affirmed that quality of Goldschmidt's, gladly giving examples of his work ethic, character, and leadership.
"Paul is still Paul, and that's refreshing," Harrington told me over the phone on Monday. "He respects his coaches. He respects his teammates. He respects the game of baseball. What you see is what this guy is."
Guys like Goldschmidt never come this humble. He's brawny in stature, at 6-foot-3 and 230-pounds, Herculean in strength, crushing 471-foot home runs, and lavish in history, hitting home runs in state championship games and grand slams as a rookie in postseason games. But you'd never know that if you talked to him.
"Any awards anything personal like that kind of goes out the window for me. I'm just trying to help the team win," Goldschmidt said, looking completely disinterested in another question about his personal accolades.
The teammate
Those eight words -- "I'm just trying to help the team win" -- are staples in just about every Goldschmidt interview. That approach has paid some dividends.
While playing for Coach Eastman in his senior year of high school, Goldschmidt helped lead his star-studded Highlanders baseball team -- which included current Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kyle Drabek -- to the 2006 Texas State Championship. The team was also recognized by Baseball America and USA Today as the national champions in high school baseball, losing only one game all season in one of the country's most competitive baseball regions.
Then, in 2011, Goldschmidt spent most of the year helping the Double-A Mobile Bay Bears to their Southern League Championship, though he was not around to enjoy it. The first baseman was, instead, with the Diamondbacks, helping the big league club to capture the division, contributing eight home runs and 26 runs batted in in 48 games over the final two months of the season.
Maybe Goldschmidt, baseball's hottest hitter over the last three weeks, ought to consider nixing a couple of words from that phrase of his, to say: "I'm just helping the team win."
Yeah, right.
Instead, Goldschmidt will probably stick to his typical courtesies -- highlighting the contributions of his teammates rather than talking about his own game exploits.
The hard worker
"Paul Goldschmidt might be the hardest worker you'll ever meet," Coach Harrington told me. "Seriously.
You and I will be working for him one day. Whenever this kid finishes his career in baseball, he's not just going to kick back. He's going to start some sort of business or something, and he'll be really successful at it. He's successful at whatever he does."
Next to humility, Goldschmidt's work ethic seems to be his most evident quality as you talk to others about him. That -- Goldschmidt's work ethic -- was under the spotlight earlier this season, as the second-year player was struggling at the plate.
After hitting a home run in his first at-bat of the season, Goldschmidt finished the month of April with a .193 batting average and a slugging percentage that was well below .300, recording just three extra-base hits in 18 games. He was averaging a strikeout per game and was losing significant playing time to the left-handed hitting Lyle Overbay. But, of course, he never let up.
"A lot of stuff is out of your control," Goldschmidt said, as we discussed his early season struggles. "You know, whether you get a hit, get sent down, called up -- whether it's good or bad, it's out of your control. So during those struggles, my focus remains on the stuff I can control -- my work ethic, my hustle, stuff like that."
A lot of times, failure improves our work ethic. That wasn't the case with Goldschmidt. His work ethic is a constant -- an indelible trait that manifests in times of failure, success, and everything between, something that's still alive today in San Marcos, Texas, according to Coach Harrington.
"Paul's legacy still lives in the Texas State baseball program. It's alive in our locker room. It's alive in our weight room. It's alive in our academics. He did so many unbelievable things for us, and he was the one who really pulped the working environment we have today."
The student
Goldschmidt, I learned, isn't really much of a question answerer. He's an asker.
Alan Zinter, former hitting coach of the High-A Visalia Rawhide, remembers when the 21-year-old Goldschmidt played for him.
"Paul's very structured in his routines and he's committed to improving his game every day. He's humble, so he's not afraid to ask questions and to observe and absorb information." Zinter picked up on something that Diamondbacks Manager Kirk Gibson would later notice, after Goldschmidt was called up to the big leagues last season.
"Goldy's got a good head on his shoulders," Gibson said earlier this season. "He's a good student of the game. He asks a lot of questions, has a lot of conversation with the veterans and with our coaches."
"That's something I learned back in college," Goldschmidt said. "When you're the freshman, you talk to the upper classmen and just try to learn from them. And we've got a lot of veterans on this team and a great coaching staff, so I like to talk to them and pick their brains."
One of Goldschmidt's favorite interviews is 10-year veteran Lyle Overbay, who has been instrumental in the 24- year-old's acclimation to the major league level.
"We talk a lot, but I don't consider myself his teacher," Overbay told me. "We mostly just talk through situational stuff, defensive stuff. Whenever he has any questions as far as that kind of thing, you know I've kind of experienced a lot of that through my 10 years where he doesn't have that experience. But if he can ask about that kind of stuff now, it may not take him 10 years to figure all that out. And we talk quite a bit."
That inquisitive nature is, again, a rarity for a player with Goldschmidt's sum of talent -- players who have thrived at the lower levels and, all too often, think they may know all they need to know. But Goldschmidt's studious, inquisitive nature flows from his humble, hard- working makeup, according to Harrington.
"Don't underestimate his baseball IQ. When Paul was on the bench [at Texas State], he was at work with every single pitch -- studying the opposing pitcher, talking through situations with the coaches, creating a plan, appreciating the game."
The big-leaguer
August 1, 2011 was the day Goldschmidt was called up to the Diamondbacks from Double-A Mobile. The team was set to begin an all-important series against the division-leading and World Champion Giants in San Francisco, whom they trailed by two games in the pennant race.
Goldschmidt got the start at first base and singled off of Matt Cain in his first at-bat. The next night, Goldschmidt hit a go-ahead two-run home run off of Tim Lincecum in the fifth inning, immediately helping the team to a series win and a division tie. A month later, Goldschmidt's new manager was seeing what Eastman and Harrington and Zinter had seen in the years prior.
"What has Paul Goldschmidt done for your club?" Gibson was asked by reporters last September.
"What he's done is he's become a part of this team," the skipper responded. "His performance is really uplifting and inspiring. It really is. And you just have to be in awe of him. We all are."
More than on-the-field performance, though, Gibson was beginning to learn exactly who Goldschmidt, the humble, hard-working, studious teammate was, after just a handful of games for the Diamondbacks.
"He has shown tremendous character up here," the manager said at the time. "Just controlling his emotions and playing the game the way he's capable of playing it. He has gone about his business and worked hard. The kid really asks a lot of questions, trying to better understand at-bats and defensive situations."
That was last season, though. Things are different this year. Not with Goldschmidt's makeup, of course, but with his numbers.
In 51 games this season, Goldschmidt has matched his home run and RBI total from the 48 games he played in last season, while upping his batting average by nearly 50 points -- to .293 -- and his on-base-plus-slugging percentage by more than 80 -- to .890.
It took me a while to dig into who Paul Goldschmidt was. But after some mining, I found that there's more gold in him than what you see arranged on the back of his jersey. The hottest hitter in baseball is full of the stuff.
Paul Goldschmidt failed to extend his hitting streak on Tuesday night against the Rangers. But even if he was able to extend it, you know he wouldn't have talked about it. He would have just used a familiar eight-word phrase.

Sequester Poses Public Service Challenges
May 5, 2013
More than 35 years ago, as a newly minted law school graduate, I moved from my hometown of New York City to Washington to take a job at the Justice Department. As an idealistic young lawyer, I was thrilled at the prospect of serving my country in the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division, where I helped bring accountability to those who abused the public trust. I knew public service offered a unique opportunity to help address national challenges and make a positive difference in the lives of my fellow citizens.
This was my "dream job." Yet I remember thinking — as I packed up my car — that I would probably stay in Washington for only a couple of years at most.
That was 1976. Today, I'm still proud to call the Justice Department home. Aside from a few years on the bench and a brief stint in private practice, I have spent my entire career at this remarkable institution. Over the decades, I've learned from generations of extraordinary lawyers, law enforcement officials and other federal employees. And I've found there is no greater honor than representing the interests of the United States, standing on the side of the law and fighting for those it protects and empowers.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated Montana's campaign donation limits, telling the federal judge who struck down the limits that the panel needs to see his full reasoning so it can review the case.
The court intervened late Tuesday less than a week after the judge's decision opened the door to unlimited money in state elections — during the height of election season.
In response, U.S. District Judge Charles Lovell issued a 38-page conclusion Wednesday morning that reinforced his earlier decision finding that the state's limits are too low to allow effective campaigning. He suggested the state Legislature would have a "clean canvas" to perhaps establish new, higher limits that could meet constitutional muster.
The 9th circuit did not immediately respond, leaving the state limits in place — for the time being. The legal back and forth came with less than a month until Election Day.
Montana limits range from $630 for an individual contributing to a governor's race to $160 for a state House candidate. The amounts are adjusted each election cycle to account for inflation. The law also limited aggregate donations from political parties.
Conservative groups emboldened by the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United decision have made Montana the center of the fight over many campaign finance restrictions.
The groups have convinced a federal judge to strike down several laws as unconstitutional, including the cap on contributions given to candidates by individuals and political parties.
Over the past week, Montana election officials had urged candidates to abide by the old limits. But attorneys for conservative and Republican groups advised candidates they could take unlimited money during that window.
Some candidates said they would abide by the old limits, while others considered the idea of taking larger donations. The effect won't be known until disclosure reports are filed later with the state Commissioner of Political Practices.
The disclosure of donations is still required, although state officials worry that conservative groups will next attack that aspect of campaign finance law.

JOHNSON COUNTY, Iowa - A 24-year-old man shot and killed during an undercover drug investigation east of Iowa City on Thursday night has been identified as Ivan Carl Hardemon.
A second suspect involved in the Thursday incident who was shot and hospitalized has been identified as Demarco Dudley.
During a press conference Friday afternoon, Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness said the shooting occurred during an undercover operation at trailer 7C in the Breckenridge Estate mobile home, 4494 Taft Ave., on Thursday evening. Specifically, two Division of Narcotics Enforcement agents assigned to the Johnson County Drug Task Force were involved in the shooting.
Lyness said that Dudley was driven from the Breckenridge mobile home park shortly after the shooting and dropped off at the entrance of Bon Aire Mobile Home Park in Iowa City. Investigators believe his brother, Norman Dudley, drove him in a red Buick LeSabre, Iowa license plate 272ZRY.
The vehicle was later found abandoned on Regal Lane near the corner of Lakeside Drive.
Investigators are trying to find Norman Dudley and John Mulbah, who are believed to have been present at or nearby the shooting. Anyone with information can call the Johnson County Joint Emergency Communications Center at 319-358-6800.
Officers said they're following up on both the shooting and the original narcotics investigation that led to the fatal shooting. It's unclear whether any of the suspects involved will face charges related to drugs or the altercation with officers.
The agents involved in the shooting are on paid administrative leave pending a review of the incident.

The winner of the Funny Women Finals 2009, Miss London (aka Dionne Hughes), is to star in a new BBC Three pilot called Laughter Shock. The show, due to be screened in February of next year, will feature a mix of sketch and stand-up from 12 of the best new multicultural acts in the country, who are all making their debut television appearances.
Miss London, 20, has been busy filming the sketches with BBC Three but managed to take some time out of a tightly-packed schedule – she has also been filming for CBBC's show Big Babies and studying for a media and cultural studies degree – to tell me about the pilot and how her life has changed since winning the Funny Women award.
Although this was Miss London's first experience of performing in sketches, (Laughter Shock's were written by established comic and writer Victor Daniels) she adapted to it very quickly and professes that she preferred it to stand-up. "With stand-up it's just you on your own with your own material so you really feel the pressure. When I work with other people it's not the be-all and end-all if I mess up, I'm able to bounce off them. " She adds: "Plus, I had a great script to work off."
However, filming can have its downside. Whereas with stand-up, a performer can be on and off the stage in a flash, basking in the warmth radiating from the audience (all being well) filming can involve a lot of standing around and waiting, sometimes in the freezing cold. London says: "There was one scene in the park where I had to stand about in a tracksuit for two hours, I needed a lot of hot chocolate to keep me warm." She also narrowly missed breaking her toes when an exuberant co-star landed on her feet with his knees, but it was all worth it for Miss London who loved meeting and working with comedians from the urban and mainstream.
London has had a meteoric rise on the mainstream circuit but says she still prefers the 'harder', more 'urban' audiences. "It's more rewarding because you know that if you make them laugh, you've really done well. Very often, urban audiences will sit there with their arms folded with the attitude of 'you've got to make me laugh'."
Little more than a year ago, Miss London was still working in T.G.I Friday's and couldn't have foreseen how much this year would change her life. In the past six months her performances have, as producer of Funny Women Lynne Parker says, "just blown people away". Not surprisingly, London's off-stage demeanour is a touch more reserved than the whirling tornado of energy and hilarity she releases on stage but throughout her whole life, she's had people tell her how funny she is. She would never have considered trying stand-up but slowly began to wonder about the best way to channel her talent. As if the universe was pushing her towards making a decision, she started to see signs everywhere she went. "I'd be at the bus stop and would see a Russell Howard poster, every time I switched on the TV there would be an advert for the British Comedy Awards and at the end of a programme a comedian would come on to be interviewed." London finally took note of the signs and asked her university (Kingston University) if she could do a comedy gig at their talent show, they'd asked her to perform as a dancer and were happy for her to go on twice. It went down a storm and friends of hers, already on the comedy scene, further encouraged her and ensured she got gigs in Soho venues.
London continued performing, eventually beating off competition from 250 other contestants to win the Funny Women Final 2009, where she unleashed a fantastic and engaging five minutes of confidently delivered gags, anecdotes and a hilarious range of facial expressions, all conveyed with a genuine love of what she was doing and a desire to show the audience a good time. London was genuinely gobsmacked to win but reveals the first song to come on her iPod shuffle before she left the house that night, was 'Winner.' Yet another sign she was going in the right direction.
London would advise anyone thinking of going into stand-up to "believe in yourself." This is certainly a dictum she took on board when she wrote on her Facebook page: "I'm going to be a successful stand-up comedienne", ignoring some of the more derisive comments that this prompted from friends. She says: "You have to trust yourself and take your own advice sometimes."
Trusting herself has certainly worked for Miss London. People now tell her she's a role model and she's getting paid to do something she truly loves. As she says, she could never go back to doing a day job in Topshop or T.G.I Friday's. About to embark on the Real Deal Comedy Tour around the UK during Christmas, it doesn't look as though London will be getting much of a break this holiday and 2010 looks set to be just as busy with Radio 1Xtra showing interest in the new comedienne.
London is also being represented by Vivienne Clore at Richard Stone Partnership. Clore said: "I'm thrilled to be working with Miss London as I think she has enormous potential and is a lovely (and modest) person to boot."

Macau (PRWEB) September 13, 2012
The successful launch of The Global Tourism Economy Forum in Macao this week - the first-ever mega tourism forum held in China - achieved success in connecting the Chinese tourism industry with the rest of the world, and it is expected to become a long-term program in the future.
Featuring the strongest line-up of global tourism leaders ever, the Forum attracted over 1,000 delegates from more than 20 countries and cities from all over the world. Over the course of the three day event, more than 50 speakers, including government ministers, scholars and business leaders, held lively discussions covering: Mega Events & Festivals, Emerging New Markets, Media & Technology, Destination Planning and Lifestyle & Entertainment.
Ablet Abdurishit, Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference stated, "The Global Tourism Economy Forum created a high and international exchange platform for industry experts and leaders to meet and share experiences, discussion topics and future vision and development. I believe this will certainly create new opportunities, which will bring great cooperation for tourism and other related industries."
The goal of the Forum, "Growth Driving Growth" focused on the interdependency of tourism growth and economic growth. The common themes debated during the event included how to balance responsible growth, sustainability and the challenges of visa restrictions, technology and emerging markets' ability to handle tourism demand with facilities and services required by a savvy and demanding consumer.
In opening the Global Tourism Economy Forum in Macao, Secretary General, Taleb Rifai of United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), said "We need to ensure that the tourism sector is supported by adequate national policies and that we work to reduce existing barriers to the expansion of the sector, such as complicated visa procedures, increased direct taxation or limited connectivity." Rifai elaborated on three challenges to be faced by the industry namely convenience in travel, tax income and a higher degree of collaboration across industries.
As witnessed by the elite leaders from government and tourism industry, a Memorandum of Cooperation was signed between World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and Global Tourism Economic Research Centre, the Forum's coordinating unit. The Memorandum serves as a dedication and commitment to make advanced and better use of the Forum's discussions to the actual tourism economy. Through collaborations and research, solutions and advanced thinking will be provided for guiding the sustainable development and economic diversification of the tourism industry, subsequently leading to more employment opportunities.
Highlights from the Forum included:
Huang Mengfu, Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Chair of All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) mentioned: "In the aftermath of the international financial crisis and the global economy confronted with many challenges, the economies of many nations underwent a quiet restructuring if not transformation. With the industrial structures quickly upgrading, various new industries, notably the tourism industry, are developing at breakneck paces.
At the closing ceremony, Pansy Ho, Secretary-General of Global Tourism Economy Forum, remarked: "I am very glad that the Forum succinctly covered many of the key challenges ahead. Our distinguished speakers and moderators certainly gave us plenty of food for thought on designing and formulating our next generation of tourism trends. By embracing different perspectives and new ideas, the industry and related stakeholders can formulate clear approaches for development, in turn promoting the sustainable development of the global tourism industry and boosting the global economy at large."

13 Any time you're threading fasteners into an old block, it's a good idea to use a tap to clean out the boltholes. Since the bottom end was together when we found the 409, the boltholes for the main caps were in good shape. The cylinder head boltholes needed the most attention.
14 ARP main studs are threaded into the block and hand-tightened. ARP suggests hand-tightening the studs to ensure proper torque specifications when the nuts are installed.
15 Since the main journals were in great condition, we used standard bearings, opting for the Clevite brand. At this point, we installed the bearings into the block, making sure they were positioned correctly. Then we gave the bearings a healthy dose of heavy weight oil for lubrication.
16 Crankshaft installation is a two-man job. We lowered the crankshaft into place, making sure none of the bearings moved as we sat it into its final resting place.
17 The main caps can now be fit with new Clevite bearings. Heavy weight oil is used to coat the bearings. Also note the blue main seal and two small-black rubber end pieces. These are essential items, and they are included in all Fel-Pro 409 gasket sets.
18 After sliding all of the main caps into place, we gave the studs a coating of ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant. Old-school engine builders used regular motor oil for years, but Ultra-Torque lubricant ensures proper torque specifications.
19 We installed the ARP washers and nuts and then torqued them to 110 ft-lb in three equal steps. This torque specification is only accurate when Ultra-Torque lubricant is used, and keep in mind that these torque specs do not apply to original-style bolts.
20 All 409 engines came with a canister-style oil filter, so we used a Mr. Gasket kit to swap it to a more conventional spin-on filter. We used PN 1270, which calls for an AC PF-25 filter. That part number is discontinued, so we had the local parts store cross it out with a Wix brand, No. 51069.
21 The Mr. Gasket 1270 oil filter adapter uses the original bypass, which fits into the block with a rubber seal. Use red Loctite on the two adapter bolts and do not overtighten the bolts. Also pay close attention to the bellhousing bolt in this area, as the bolt can protrude into the aluminum housing and cause a nasty oil leak.
22 While the block is being prepared for final assembly, the pistons and connecting rods bathe in gasoline. This helps break down the carbon buildup on the pistons and ensures the ring grooves are free of any debris after a good cleaning with a wire brush.
23 After soaking and cleaning the pistons, the next step is installing the ARP rod bolts. We sent the rods to Riverside Machine Shop to have the new bolts pressed into place. After the bolts are pressed in, the rods are resized to ensure a perfectly round surface that matches the original journal size.
24 Tune in next month to see the 409 build continue by completing the rotating assembly, installing a pair of Edelbrock Performer RPM cylinder heads and a killer Comp Cams hydraulic roller setup.

"CIA Admits It Was Behind Iran's Coup." So reads the headline in Foreign Policy. If this sounds like news, it's not–not really.
U.S. involvement in the coup that overthrew Iranian prime minister Mohammad Mossadeq in 1953 has long been a matter of public knowledge, described at great length by some of the MI6 and CIA officers who were involved, such as Kermit "Kim" Roosevelt for the CIA and C.M. "Monty" Woodhouse for MI6. President Obama, back in his 2009 Cairo speech, even appeared to apologize for the U.S. role, which he offensively equated with Iran's "role in acts of hostage-taking and violence against U.S. troops and civilians." As if the CIA had waged a campaign of terrorism against the people of Iran in the 1950s. In reality even Mossadeq survived the coup, dying at home in 1967 after a long period of house arrest.
All that the CIA has done now is to declassify an internal study from the 1970s that discusses the agency's role–news only because CIA censors are so far behind the times in opening up documents that have long ago lost any rationale to remain secret. Indeed to say that the CIA is now "admitting" its role is somewhat inapt; the CIA has all but bragged about its role for decades. The real question that concerns events in Iran in 1953 is not whether American and British intelligence operatives tried to orchestrate a coup–clearly they did–but whether their machinations were actually decisive.
There is much evidence that Mossadeq was overthrown because he had lost the confidence of what would now be called the Iranian "street" including the all-important Shiite clergy which feared (as did the CIA and MI6) that Mossadeq was opening an opportunity for the Tudeh Party, as the Communists were known, to seize power. There is, indeed, a strong argument to be made that his overthrow was not even an unlawful coup because it was the shah's right, as head of state, to dismiss the head of government.
One can make the case that the CIA for decades has actually been trying to claim more credit than it deserved for Mossadeq's overthrow as well as the overthrow of Salvador Allende in Chile in 1973 and even Ngo Dinh Diem in South Vietnam in 1963. (Why do CIA coups seem to occur in years ending in 3? Should Gen. Sisi in Cairo be worried?) In all those cases, leaders were overthrown by indigenous conspiracies that received the blessing of the CIA. It is unknowable whether the coups would have happened anyway even without CIA blessing, but they might well have. Conversely, it is highly unlikely that the CIA-backed coups would have succeeded absent a large degree of public support or at least acquiescence.
To be sure, the CIA has gotten its share of opprobrium for its involvement–a subject of public controversy ever since the Church Committee hearings of the 1970s. The CIA has been especially and unfairly pilloried by those who mistakenly think that the 1979 Iranian Revolution was a reaction to the events of 1953–as if the shah didn't have a quarter-century in which to improve his style of governance and thereby win more popular support. In any case the ayatollahs who seized power in 1979 never had much regard for the secular Mossadeq to begin with.
So it might seem bizarre that the CIA would be trying to claim more credit than it might deserve for actions which its critics believe to be reprehensible. But the only thing worse from the CIA's perspective than being thought to be a vile tool of American imperialism is to be considered to be ineffectual. Whatever the morality of its actions (and its coups all had White House authorization), at least the CIA could come back and tell its political masters that it was a "can-do" agency. A more comprehensive account of the historical forces at play in 1953 Iran and in these other coups could call into question how much the CIA was ever able to accomplish.

I just want to be able to draw to the side of an existing image (outside
the existing boundaries), not make it bigger or smaller.

Lawsuit claims St. Pete harasses the homeless
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
The National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty filed a lawsuit this week which claims that the city of St. Petersburg is using local ordinances to target and harass the homeless.
In the past few years, the city has passed several different ordinances that affect the homeless, such as where they can sleep and what they can keep with them
St. Petersburg activist G.W. Rolle has been collecting depositions on behalf of the homeless for the Southern Legal Counsel based in Gainesville over the past 15 months. He says thousands of people have been accused of trespassing or leaving their belongings on public property in and around the Williams Park Area of downtown St. Petersburg.
Rolle says the infamous January 2007 incident in which St. Pete Police slashed the tents of the homeless spurred the actions that led to this weekâs lawsuit.
The lawsuit says 3,789 homeless people were arrested from 2005 to 2008.
WMNF called the St. Petersburgâs Attorneyâs office late this afternoon, but did not hear back before airtime.comments powered by Disqus

Research Expeditions
Our hands-on Volunteer Vacations are designed to accomplish specific scientific goals while offering unique access and experiences to our travelers. As a participant, you will work side-by-side with field biologists, helping to collect valuable research data on marine species and habitats. No prior research experience is needed; you will be trained "on the job" by our experienced field biologists. See a full list of our upcoming Volunteer Vacations here.
Oceanic Society is a pioneer in volunteer travel. Since the start of our expeditions program in 1972, we have guided tens of thousands of travelers on marine research and conservation expeditions all over the world. Over this time we have developed special insights and close relationships in the areas we travel, and these create special opportunities and experiences for our travelers that aren't available elsewhere.
As a traveler on one of our Volunteer Vacations, you will be asked to perform various tasks related to the research project and will be trained to do so. Although there are daily research tasks to be accomplished, generally research expeditions include free-time for relaxing or special opportunities to observe local natural history. No previous research experience is required; important qualities include patience, enthusiasm and a willingness to take directions.
Oceanic Society Volunteer Vacations contribute directly to environmental protection by supporting conservation-directed research. We conduct and fund field research as a basis for creating and maintaining nature reserves and sanctuaries, and for recommending solutions to environmental problems through the following steps:
- Working in partnership with local groups and agencies in the development of research goals.
- Collaborating with universities to establish research protocols.
- Conducting long-term research utilizing volunteers to help collect data.
- Translating scientific findings into policy proposals.
- Disseminating research results to local communities and management agencies

Finally got to dive into the MLB 2K7 demo. I wouldn't call myself a baseball fan, but as a gamer, I wanted to see how this game played after checking out some of the brilliant early footage that even showed wind blowing against the players' uniforms. Spring training has started after all (and the game came out this week), so I felt a slight pinch of baseball fever when my download was finished.
That fever evaporated when I realized how badly I stunk at this game. You can pick from the Mets or the Cards (and the World Series champs, St. Louis, seem WILDLY underrated) and even get advanced scouting reports on opposing players to help out your pitcher. I ended up getting the workups on Delgado, Wright and Beltran — after all, I saw those guys the most on SportsCenter.
I got a fleet of tutorial text when I was both batting and pitching. Defensive shifts, pitch targeting, intentional walks, payoff pitches — I got it all. I've known mostly the MVP Baseball style of pitching and have only dabbled in the MLB style, which requires you to hold down the button, release it at the right time, and then press it again for accuracy. You use a sniper scope-like reticle that expands and contracts as your timing guide. It took some getting used to, and I paid for my knowledge by serving up gifts over the middle to most of the Mets order.
What really boggled me was batting. MLB uses the "swing stick," which means instead of simply hitting the button at the right time (which you can still do), you can use the right thumbstick to control practically every facet of your swing. It's the ultimate test of timing — you have to take your step, swing direction, and follow through into account. For a simple contact swing, you pull back on the stick (the step) and release it at the right time. For power, you pull back and push forward. For stuff like pulling and hitting to the opposite field, the game has you do Street Fighter-esque circle motions — so "hadouken" could mean a base hit.
I'm gonna hit the demo once more, visit with 2K to talk about the game, and then it's time for something completely different — Bullet Witch for the 360. If it comes down to playing more baseball or shooting demons/casting spells with a smoldering, gun wielding sorceress, I'm picking the magic. Of course, if the game stinks, I'll just play Crackdown or Rainbow Six.

When a load is not matched to the characteristic impedance of a transmission line, part of the incident wave is reflected back from the interface between the transmission line and the load.
Reflection Coefficient: shows what fraction of an incident signal is reflected when a source drives a load.
Standing Wave Ratio (SWR): is the ratio of the maximum to minimum values of the "standing wave" pattern that is created when signals are reflected on a transmission line. This measurement can be taken using a "slotted line" apparatus that allows the user to measure the field strength in a transmission line at different distances along the line.
Return Loss: shows the level of the reflected signal with respect to the incident signal in dB. The negative sign is dropped from the return loss value, so a large value for return loss indicates a small reflected signal. Example: a return loss of 26 dB is roughly equivalent to a reflection coefficient of 0.05.
Mismatch Loss: is the power lost relative to the incident power, expressed in dB. This is the power lost due to mismatch between the source and load impedances.
Tip: Try entering a value between 0 and 1 into the Reflection Coefficient field at right, then press 'enter.' The other reflection parameters are automatically calculated for you, and the animation updates to show the relative sizes of the transmitted wave, the reflected wave, and the standing wave pattern.
Update: fixed a problem with inputting impedances. Inputting a short circuit impedance (zero Ohms) now produces the correct pattern.
To learn more about mismatch, reflection, and standing waves we recommend the following courses:

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
2-year-old's body pulled from North Fork River on Monday
Jun 12, 2012 - By Christina George, Staff Writer
The Fremont County Coroner's Office is investigating the death of a 2-year-old boy whose body was recovered Monday night in the North Fork River.
Fremont County Sheriff's Capt. Ryan Lee said his agency received a 911 call at 7:24 p.m. Monday, June 11, concerning a missing child on North Fork Road between Lander and Fort Washakie.
Lee said the call was transferred to the Wind River Police Department.
"Shortly after, we also dispatched an ambulance at that location," Lee said.
Fremont County Coroner Ed McAuslan said the toddler, whose identification was not released by mid-afternoon Tuesday, was taken to Lander Regional Hospital shortly before 9 p.m.
Resuscitation efforts were continued for nearly five hours, but the boy's life could not be saved.
"He was pronounced dead at 1:46 this morning," McAuslan said Tuesday.
McAuslan said it was his understanding that the child was on a family outing for a reunion picnic in the area Monday evening.
Investigators on Tuesday had not determined how the child got into the river, nor what caused his death.
"He was found in the river, but I am not saying anything as to what happened to him because I don't know," McAuslan said.
"It's still under investigation, and we're just getting started."
An autopsy is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Wednesday in Loveland, Colo.

A Monkey named Louis: UF gave him no pain relief for broken hip, made him suffer and deteriorate for a full year
In August of 2010, we learned about a monkey named Louis. A lab tech pleaded with UF to release him to a sanctuary and stop his suffering. While the lab tech was on vacation, Louis was murdered and incinerated on July 9, 2010. UF wanted to ensure that the world would never see his deteriorated condition or know his story. In October of 2010, NIO's campaign against UF commenced. Now we know that Louis was allowed to languish in torment with a broken hip and never given any pain relief. His records document callous neglect, violations of the law, and incompetence. In death, Louis has a voice.
by NIO Florida
Complete Veterinary Record for "Louis" (2008 – 2010)
Roberts – Primate Louis – Part I
Roberts – Primate Louis – Part II
His Agonizing Incarceration & Death
Louis was a long-tailed macaque bred by Alpha Genesis for a life of torment. On February 25, 2008, this 5-year old and five other monkeys were sold to the University of Florida. Louis was delivered into the hands of Vivisector Stephen Roberts where, upon his incarceration in the dungeon, he immediately developed chronic anorexia and suffered from chronic vomiting.
We know from the University's own records that on July 9, 2009 their vet determined that Louis had a severely injured bone — the femoral head — and was in tremendous pain. His leg was not attached to the joint!!! One must understand that this precise injury in humans would demand heavy pain medication as well as hip replacement surgery. Yet little Louis, with his bones grinding against each other, received no relief whatsoever and was made to suffer and deteriorate for another full year.
According to our UF source:
"Most traumatically, the femoral head from his right leg had deteriorated to the point where it was missing(!) This must have caused him excruciating pain. They knew about his severely injured bone since 7/9/09 – a full year before he was euthanized and he was never treated for the pain. The comment on his record at 7/9/09 was 'Rads also revealed absence of femoral head on (r) leg w/ high degree of instability.' 'Instability' means that the leg was not fully attached at the joint. Imagine trying to walk with deteriorated bone grinding against deteriorated bone during every step… it probably happened prior to his arrival at the lab as the degradation to the bone was very advanced. It's very likely that the chronic pain from his hip was the stress that caused his continual upset stomach/gut, vomiting, and poor appetite/weight loss. They kept testing for parasites as a cause, but he was always negative. He should have been euthanized immediately upon discovery of his leg issue, or at least had his leg amputated, as would have been done for a pet."
They waited a full year.
"They seem to have been put him in metabolic cages during the studies, similar to what Bergeron did. These cages are designed to allow for the collection of urine and feces to study drug metabolism. It seems that even though Louis wasn't used nearly as much in experiments, he was put in the same room with his friends to reduce the anxiety of separation from the colony. Of course, that meant stressfully drugging him for each room transfer…
They keep commenting on how he's quiet compared to others and doesn't eat enough, but that seems to be normal for him. Well, YEAH – he's in pain!
The only consequence of Louis' agony for the vivisecting sadists appears in a rather chilling entry on the vet records dated April 26, 2010: "…Long term, this monkey has been unable to be used…"
Formal complaints against the University of Florida as well as Alpha Genesis will be forthcoming from Stop Animal Experimentation NOW ("SAEN").
A funeral for Louis and the other victims of UF's primate experimentation program will be held outside Emerson Hall on Saturday evening, February 4, as alumni gather to celebrate the "Gator Gala."

I look at my animals and I could weep at what this baby was put through!!
"Long term, this monkey has been unable to be used" — that says it all doesn't it. No compassion, no sympathy, no empathy – and certainly no humanity as I would define it! Sociopaths, degenerates, deviants and murderers.
Sentence : Death!

As I know from my dog, who also suffered from a femoral head broken off, the pain must be horrendous. However the surgery for this trauma is quite easy and the animals usually recover very quickly especially if it concernes a small animal. The head has to be removed and the part where it broke off has to be filed round to fit back into the hip socket. After a while if the animal keeps using the leg the bone developes a pseudo joint where the femoral head used to be which allows the animal to live a normal life without pain and no disabilities. Obviously nobody bothered in that case.

perhaps we are in the minority of loving all animals but I know that if it were possible to fit all of those suffering in our hearts they surely would fit because our hearts are big enough to stretch around the world a million times <3

One lab tech begged for Louis' life but to no avail. Bergeron and Stevens couldn't allow the world to know this poor baby's condition so they killed him. No matter what you believe, Louis is in a better place.

In spite of all the medical evidence I just sit here with horror and tears. When did the human race deteriorate to this? How can anyone look at this little baby and turn their backs on him, day after day? Why are industries STILL ALLOWED to use vivisection? Why is it wrong for us to take action to end the unconscienable? Why are activists called TERROR – ists when it patently obvious that the governments who condone this are actually the TERROR-ists. When will it stop? I secretly hope that the USA and Iran start World War III. I hope the atomic bomb is used in America to blow all those bastards to smitherens and yes, animals will die too but which is better………… years in a cage under these conditions or instant death?

Our only hopes are (a) making legislative change – and these days with social networking it is so much easier to get word of these egregious cruelties out!, and galvanizing public opinion, & (b) focusing on the scientific argument: the animal welfare argument, until we are more evolved as a species fully aware and sensitive, will lose to the vivisectionists' well-worn argument "Your dog or your baby" -show them the facts of the scientific errors and their stand crumples…. http://www.safermedicines.org/faqs is a great resource for all to see, and Jane Goodall's argument at http://www.vivisectionresearch.ca sums it all up….
Good luck, and stay calm…. Justice will prevail…..

Economic return on education
This visualization is part of the OECD challenge to represent the data from their Return on education study.
The aim of this representation was to provide an overview of the very dense and rich data, collected in many different countries, showing how much money is invested in education, at different levels, either by individuals or by governments and what are the return of this investment.
Using different graphical reprensations, the goal is to encourage comparison of different levels of education in one country and between different countries.
The dollar sign is to be understood as US dollars, as in the original data set.

Fresh and enjoyable thaï food in a very calm part of Paris
The service is also nice
If you can, try the one also in Lille : it is in a nice internal garden
3 Days in Paris
Off the Beaten Path
Museum Guide for Paris
Went there with my partner. On first entry the waitress was very cold as we were the first people in.
Even when she took the order you were wondering if we did anything to upset them.
The food was great and the actual service was prompt. Value /quality was good too.
I love this restaurant. I live in the neighborhood and get there as often as I can. Their cocktail maison is excellent and ambiance very enjoyable. I love the lunch menu and find it good value for money. The dinner menu is good but a bit overpriced. Never had a bad meal or a complaint from friends that I recommended...
We love this restaurant. It's not the cheapest, but it's truly delicious. The mango & coconut rice for dessert is fully recommended.
My husband and I live in the 15th arr of Paris and go to this Thai restaurant regularly. The food is quite delicious - it is fairly sophisticated (all beautifully presented on plates rather than chinese style in little bowls) but unmistakenly Thai. It is not particularly cheap but for the quality of the food, we think it is worth...
The staff in this restaurant were very welcoming and helpful. The food was tasty and interesting. As to be expected for Paris the atmosphere did not hot up until later in the evening when the retaurant filled up. Not touristy which we enjoyed. Prices were typically Parisian but that is to be expected.
Modern, clean ambience, little a bit lacking atmosphere - just ok.
Just a few tables over there, so better to reserve a table over the weekends.
Reasonably long menu, reasonable parisian prices.
The food was really excellent Thai tasting - not really europeanized like usual, nicely presented.
Forget about some good wine selection and forget also that the thai waitress...
Best Thai in town!!
amazing cuisine with subtle taste...
good service...far far better than the haughty and undeserving Blue Elephant !
