Next-generation gaming has official begun! With the launch of Mortal Kombat X, we finally have a game that was completely impossible to run on Xbox 360 and PS.....
Wow; I couldn't even finish that sentence before noticing MKX on last-gen hardware. Well, whatever. The game is probably terrible on those consoles. Thank god, though, that Metal Gear Solid V is only...
C'mon! Can't I make a statement without getting cut off? It's not like you see Bungie doing...
Really? Well, that one was close to last-gen, so I'll let it slide. It's not like we're seeing 5 years old games...
Okay; this is insane! Where does Next-gen begin and last-gen end? So many games are still getting multi-platform and generation releases that I'm beginning to regret even wanting a PS4. Not only does my PC still manage to play games with smoother framerates than Sony's next best thing, but almost every game I want on the PS4 is available somewhere else.
I'm not even talking like Xbox One; you can get these damn games on PS3. Some even come with cross-buy support, meaning I could wait years before getting a PS4 and finish the game multiple times. What was the point, again?
I know that these multi-generational releases have benefits on next-gen, but I can't remember an era of gaming where developers were so afraid to let the past die. Nintendo, at least, isn't still releasing Wii games.
More importantly, these last-gen versions are only compromised visually. In terms of Metal Gear Solid V, the game is virtually the same. It's missing the realistic lighting and weather effects, but there aren't chopped up game areas or more load screens. Everything is the same as it's next-gen brethren.
I remember when Splinter Cell was first released on PS2; that was a sorry excuse of a port if I ever did see one. Sure, it had an extra level that was pretty neat, but the main campaign had to utilize compromised level structure to even get the engine running on inferior hardware. Don't even bring up the Gamecube release, either.
Sticking with Ubisoft, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter on PS2 and Xbox was a disgrace to the 360 version. Ubisoft had plopped together something that vaguely resembled a map and called it a day. They didn't even change the dialog to reflect places that were absent in the last-gen versions.
It's so bad, I couldn't find an image without a watermark! Now I'm Capcom!
We are long past those days now. Currently, the main difference is that the last-gen games run at sub-720p resolution. Their target framerates are typically 30 FPS and the textures usually have quite obvious draw distance problems. If you can tolerate that, then the game is functionally the same.
So, why should we as gamers even bother with next-gen versions? At least Turn 10 Studios produced two distinct games with Forza Horizon 2 on Xbox One and 360. The fact that you can get it on either system is dumb, but you do have some benefit to grabbing the next-gen version.
With something like Mortal Kombat X, what could be different? The last game ran at 60 FPS on PS3 and Xbox 360, so why wouldn't the sequel? Unless High Voltage is going to purposely nuke the game code, the game will basically be the same.
About the only real difference I can see with next-gen is the switch to Blu-Ray. I know PS3 always had this disc capacity, but games were hampered by the 360's DVD limitation. Microsoft even had to create a smaller copy protection method to extract more space out of their DVDs.
Now that both next-gen consoles are utilizing Blu-Ray, developers have more free reign to include higher resolution textures or bigger game worlds. Judging by the size of Dead Rising 3's map, though, neither of those advantages are really being utilized.
Even with the release of Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, we're seeing next-gen consoles struggle to produce an experience that is vastly superior. When the original PC release from 3 years prior still looks better, something is wrong.
At least we're in real HD, now!
So honestly, I don't believe the next-generation has started. Until I see a game that is virtually impossible without next-gen hardware, I'll just let out a sigh when I notice a PS3 or 360 release alongside the "new" and "superior" versions.
It's also really sad how Nintendo was able to make a game run at 1080p, 60 FPS with 8 players on screen. That console is basically an Xbox 360.read
Game developers have made great strides in providing gamers with multiple choices for a game's story. This has resulted in many critics and players labeling games as "non-linear" or "open-world." They all allow you to tackle events in any order of your choice.
An idea occurred to me over my vacation; as time seemed to stand still while I relaxed in the sun and heat, I thought about the Futurama episode where the Professor creates a time machine. In that plotline, he actually moves so far forward in time that he ends up seeing the creation of the universe.
Good news, everyone! We made it to Destructoid!
Time was on an indefinite loop. While the Professor could not move backwards, he could go to any point in history as long as he kept proceeding forward. This line of thought then lead me to the game Virtue's Last Reward. In that game, you deal with a similar phenomenon.
While the game talks a lot about Schrodigner's Cat and the Many-Worlds Theory, it allows you to skip between different parallel dimensions to progress farther in the game. Effectively, the game gives players a non-linear control over time.
I'm truly surprised that we haven't seen more games attempt this idea. While developers are so anxious to showcase their graphical advancements and claim their game is "innovative" and "cinematic," they never really deal with the way time affects our world.
Some other notable examples would be Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Braid and (weirdly enough) Forza. All of those games have a rewind function that will let you undo simple mistakes. Braid and Forza aren't really concerned with challenge, so their mechanic is unlimited (though you can thankfully turn it off in Forza for realistic effect).
Sands of Time incorporates this time shift into it's story. The dagger which the Prince holds can only store a certain amount of time altering sand before being worthless. This deftly explains why one cannot simply undo every mistake.
As much as that may be total dominance over time, those games are still set on linear paths. That quick rewind can only go one direction; resuming control only allows one path. None of these games question whether or not your different choice truly deviates from a pre-determined course.
No no no. My story included more paths...and naked women.
Virtue's Last Reward revels in that type of manipulation. Characters will refer to your physical appearance as "strange" and "decrepit" before you get to the final twist. Certain elements in the background will stick out, but have no real meaning until you swap to a different dimension.
The game crafts a tale in which every single possible choice is the only true path. It gets the mind thinking about every decision you've ever made. What if I said yes to that girl or what if I studied harder in school? (or as Peter Griffin said, "you don't want to spend your life wondering what if".)
I know the predecessor to that game, 999, had many similar themes. The mechanics of that game only allowed you to see one path through before exchanging consciousness and charting a new course. The sequel seems more concerned with granting access to every possible experience.
The closest I can think of a game coming to this type of focus is with Papers, Please. While that game doesn't place emphasis on you having knowledge from multiple timelines (or even acknowledging that different universes may exist), it does let you move backward in time to live out every possible outcome.
Papers, Please bases its gameplay on multiple choices. Every time a new person comes up to the border, you can either quickly let them through, tag them for search, properly check their ID or even forge their documents. All of these decisions result in a distinctive conclusion.
The game features multiple endings, even if most of them are not satisfactory. As with life, you may not like where your course of action has brought you. Unlike life, you can always undo the change (and without reloading a save file). Now, I realize there are more games with this style of gameplay, but even Papers, Please isn't fully non-linear as far as time is concerned.
To me, I wouldn't mind seeing more games like Virtue's Last Reward in terms of narrative structure or gameplay. How about an adventure game in the vein of L.A. Noire where you get to switch dimensions to figure out clues? Maybe a shooter where allowing key characters to live can result in various conclusions?
All of these ideas don't really nail non-linearity of time. Maybe the real reason we haven't seen more games tackle this style is because everything has to move forward. You cannot undo time, no matter how hard you try. Our lives are set on linear courses from the day we are born.
Given that power to move backwards, I think most of us would just stick to a single day or two in our childhood. Why move on when you can always redo? This might ultimately be what gaming is trying to tell us; the choices you make are the ones you must deal with.
I could also be misunderstanding my own point of time flowing linearly. Maybe I just never pieced together that games allowing you to flow in reverse are really non-linear. If that is the case, then a game like The Bouncer is the most non-linear a title can get.
Whatever the case, I feel like developers should try to focus more on continuity and time. Shake things up with your franchises by allowing us to skip forward and backward at whim (but not pre-determined). The worst that can happen is we erase the history of Resident Evil 6. =)
I will gladly pick no.read
Absence makes the heart grow fonder; while the origin of this quote is unknown, the impact of those words can be profound. Removing yourself from your favorite place can be quite difficult. Sometimes the change is needed, other times the change is made from an irrational viewpoint.
About two years ago, I asked Andy Dixon to remove me from Destructoid. I noticed I was getting into fights in the comments section and writing crappier blogs in some vein attempt to get noticed. I just wanted to be liked, if not help people view games in a different light.
I still visited the site, but I refused to comment or make any blogs. I wanted to be done with the community and everyone around the site. I felt like I had failed them by being a petty child. I didn't want to stain the good name of their community.
After returning to the community blogs over on Screwattack, I started to realize a lot about myself. I had changed over those few years. I was more level-headed and less angry. I was more willing to discuss instead of assert my opinion. Most importantly, I missed the communities that helped me fall back in love with gaming.
I just wasn't ready to return to Destructoid. On Screwattack, I actually never lost respect. People accepted that I was on hiatus and the crew members looked forward to my appearance at their yearly cons. I ended up volunteering and feeling empowered and happy. I was glad to give back to a website that kindled a passion in my heart.
I never got that chance with Destructoid...that is until this past weekend. I never expected that PAX East would be the place that I would finally understand what I seek from my writing, but funny things happen to us humans. One minute can be a mundane cycle of repetition while the next is the catalyst for the fire in our minds.
After a hectic first day, my friend clued me in to a DToid meetup for Saturday night. While I skipped out on the photo in the afternoon, I made damn sure that I was able to get to the planned restaurant for that evening. I never expected to be the only person there, but life likes to throw funny curveballs our way.
When the crew ended up being late, I began to panic. I thought I had either wasted my time and money or just misread the location. I didn't want to say no to the whole situation, so I decided to put myself on the waiting list and get food.
About 10 minutes later, Jed walked in with some friends. Seeing his Twitch shirt, I figured asking if he knew Jonathan Holmes would be a safe bet. Not only was it safe, but it was rightfully founded; Jed was with him for that evening.
This began a very surreal night for me. While I'm not afraid of meeting "celebrities" and talking to them, I never expect to get into a more personal conversation with them. I was also caught by surprise when we sat down for dinner.
This is how it looked like in my head!
Nothing felt out of the ordinary after the talking got started. It was almost as if I were a part of their crew. It seemed like old friends catching up with their non-stop lives. We talked about games we had seen that day, films that were interesting to us, how stupid Cliffy B is and awful interviews.
I also volunteered myself to hand out community awards on the show floor. For all you guys who voted back at home, know that your voices were heard. I went around with the motley crew of DToid members and we handed out those little foam cards with pride and joy.
While the award for the Witcher vanished mysteriously, everyone else was genuinely surprised and happy to be getting these plaques. Seeing their smiling faces and getting to speak with them made me feel accepted. For once in my life, no one looked at me like a psychopath; now I was the bearer of good news and a "golden" trinket.
After we managed to tear up the PAX show floor, we needed food (as most humans do). So, who could turn down a bit of lunch with Mr. Holmes? Not only did I end up meeting and dining with him the night before, but I got to do it two days straight.
Really, what more could a DToid member ask for? I finally got to put faces to the people I have been following for years. Their words and analyses have given me hours of entertainment and introspection that I am thankful for. I cannot imagine myself being alive without such a website.
So while I may have neglected DToid and been an angry little basted for a few years, I feel that I've finally matured into the person I wanted to be. Seeing the struggles and challenges that these people go through to give us the content we take for granted really put a lot into perspective for me.
So thank you Holmes, Caitlin, Jed, Kyle and Rob. Shout outs to Jared and that partially Asian sounding guy (I'm very sorry! I forgot your name). While I may never become a full fledged friend, you guys certainly made me feel like I was important for a few days. For that, I wish you all the best of luck.
P.S. Remember to name your child Jim, Holmes!read

VANCOUVER, B.C. — Members of the union representing B.C. Transit bus drivers, tradespeople and maintenance workers voted 98% in favor of a strike to support their demands for a fair collective agreement, The Vancouver Sun reported. The Canadian Auto Workers Local 333 and the agency need to come to agreement on issues such as wages and contracting and haven't had a collective agreement since March 31. The union has been working under a wage freeze for two years. However, the union has 90 days after a strike vote to serve notice, and a transit official said that strike votes are a common occurrence before settlements between the two sides. For the full story, click here.
The Flatiron Flyer buses, which were supplied by MCI and can carry 57 passengers each, are specially branded with a unique blue-and-sunrise-orange paint scheme designed by RTD and a U.S. 36 corridor stakeholder group.
The Hadley mirror business will remain in Elkhart, Ind., but will relocate from the Hadley site to its own production facility over the next few months. The management, engineering, customer service, administrative and production personnel of the Hadley mirror business will remain with the business and transition to Safe Fleet.
Each year, more and more people look forward to BusCon as a chance to network, learn about new trends and technology, and gain the tools that are necessary to revitalize the way they tackle their own operations.
The countdown clocks were developed in part to address concerns about the overall accessibility of MTA's Bus Time system, which sends wait-time information to riders via text message, a QR code scan, or over a web site.
The report argues that the city should be pushing for the "gold standard" of BRT. That would include a control station that monitors buses and ensures they come at well-spaced intervals and enclosed stops that shelter customers.

From today's CedarLog-TwentyFifteen . . . This isn't an inclusive, warm and fuzzy "I wanna be nice to you and make you feel like I'm not making a demarcation between our divergent life philosophies." This is absolute that there is not a "we can play nice with each other" space for me. I either trust my truck and the guns in my back window and the one under my seat to get me out of trouble, or I trust in the unseen force of my Great God and Father who listens . . .

Translation update for CedarLog-TwentyFifteen . . . It was drawn to my attention this evening that some devices do not translate my CedarLog font into my font of choice, but rather translate it as a script style that isn't really all that convenient to read. If this is a difficulty you've experienced, please know that the font is now a more universal font that your device might read more comfortably. If there's still a problem, please let me know. Thanks! Pastor DP

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has until 6:00 pm today, to respond the FA charge of misconduct, but it's almost certain that he will accept the charge made against him – when he head butted Hull City player Davide Meyler in the game at Hull last Saturday.
David Meyler and Alan Pardew last Saturday – oh my
However, the Chronicle is reporting today they believe Alan will request a personal hearing next week, in front of the three-man FA committee.
It's an important meeting for Alan and Newcastle if that happens, because he will get a ban and the worst thing that could happen is if it's a stadium ban he gets rather than just a touch-line ban.
Maybe the best thing that the manager can expect is a five game touch-line ban, but the English media has been going crazy, some even suggesting a stadium ban through the end of the season would be what he gets, but that would be grossly unfair.
However, this is the FA in action, and you can never accuse them of being logical about anything they do, if history is to be any guide.
And if Pardew is requesting a personal hearing, then we'll not know what ban he gets until sometime next week, so this thing will just drag on.
We just hope John Carver and the coaches along with Alan are getting to know how yo use those walkie-talkie sets – or if he gets a stadium ban – how he phones in from his home.
Comments welcome.

Hello dear maddies. It has been a while since we added a wishlist on our blog. I recently discovered a super cute online shop "Cute Harajuku". I kept scrolling and clicking, and it almost surprises me how short this post looks. I couldn't place everything they had on this blog, could I? Anyway. I fell in love with the soft colors, the illustration prints on the shoes, the lovely colored wigs and cute skirts and sweaters.

Using Management Accounting to Drive Environmental Performance
by Anthony Pember, Chief Executive Officer, Pilbara Group, Mark Lemon, Manager, Global Public Sector Practice, Grant Thornton LLP and Stathis Gould, Head of Professional Accountants in Business, IFAC | April 25, 2014 |
Are organizations using management accounting tools, such as activity-based costing and management (ABC/M), to manage environmental impacts? As with a traditional ABC/M model, an environmental ABC/M model leverages an organization's emissions inventory and GHG footprint, and assigns that footprint to particular products, services, and activities. So why isn't such a model more widely used? Read More

The Tampa Bay Rays activated outfielder Desmond Jennings from the 15-day disabled list and have him batting leadoff for the opener of a three-game series against the New York Yankees. Jennings has been out since May 12 because of a sprained left knee. The Rays went 12-13 in his absence - the team is also playing without slugger Evan Longoria for nearly as long. The Rays optioned outfielder Rich Thompson to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday to clear a spot for Jennings. Jennings will wear a brace for now but says he's ready to play without limits. He went 3 for 15 (.200) in a four-game rehabilitation assignment with Durham. Also, Hideki Matsui is making his first visit to New York with his new team. Manager Joe Maddon has the former Yankees star batting cleanup for his ''flair for the dramatic.''

Farragut considers new hotel tax
Levy on hotels, motels would fund increased tourism
Farragut is proposing a new tax on hotels and motels that would be used to fund increased tourism in the town.
Under a proposal that passed the board of mayor and aldermen on first reading last week, hotel and motels within the town limits would pay a 3 percent tax. The tax would be in addition to the current 5 percent tax charged by Knox County.
Based on legislation introduced in 2003, municipalities are allowed to charge a hotel/motel occupancy tax on top of an existing local tax if certain requirements are met.
Knoxville charges a 3 percent hotel/motel tax.
The requirements include: The county adjacent to the city has a commercial airport; the county has a 50,000 square-foot or larger convention center with attached hotel; or the city is in a county that has a regional airport. Farragut would meet the first two requirements.
"Most of the other cities around us already charge this tax," said Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill.
There are eight hotels or motels that list Farragut addresses, with more on the way, McGill said. Those who stay at these hotels also make use of the roads and other public infrastructure, he said.
At average rates of $70 to $189 and an average occupancy rate of 70 percent, the tax could raise about $460,000 per year. The money would go toward tourism, parks and capital improvement projects that should attract more people to the town and ultimately increase the number or tourists staying at the local hotels, McGill said.
The issue will be up for a second and final vote at the end of the month, McGill said.
Alderman Bob Markli cast the only vote against the new tax. He said he opposes the new hotel/motel tax for business reasons.
"Introducing a new tax in this economic environment is not a good idea," he said.
The new tax also goes against the principles the town was founded upon, he said. Farragut has built its reputation as a fiscally conservative town with low taxes, Markli said.
"It would be bad for the town's brand," he said.
Alderwoman Dot Lamarche said she supports the tax. She thinks it might even work out to a net gain for hotel/motel owners if occupancy increases.
"I think it's the right thing to do. We will use that money to improve things that have to do with tourism," she said.
Markli is also concerned that the proposal has been voted on before it was presented to the public for comment. McGill said the subject was listed on workshop agendas and the town's strategic plan.
None of the half dozen hotels contacted for this story had heard about the tax.
Markli said he might consider supporting a 1 percent tax that was on the books but not enforced unless the town needs the money. Currently the town doesn't need the money because sales tax receipts are rising," he said.
McGill disagrees.
Farragut is receiving reduced revenue because the Hall Income Tax is decreasing, McGill said. He said the money collected by the new hotel/motel tax will help offset losses because of the decline of Hall revenue.
The Hall Income Tax is an individual income tax was enacted in 1929 and is imposed only on individuals and other entities who receive interest from bonds and notes and dividends from stock. The tax levies a 6 percent tax on earned dividends and interest. The Hall tax is collected by the state, but about one-third of it is returned to the city or the county in which the taxpayer lives.
Markli said he rejects the idea that the tax will not affect residents of Farragut.
"No tax is victimless," he said.
Ashok Patel, owner of the Super 8 Motel in Farragut said he had not yet heard about the new tax and does not think the proposal would be good for his business. Patel said his customers already take note of the 5 percent county occupancy tax when they get their receipt.
"They notice it. Nobody likes to pay these extra taxes," he said.
Allison Souza, executive director of the Farragut Business Alliance said the organization is aware of the hotel/motel tax proposal but has not taken any official action on the issue.

Für die deutsche Beschreibung des Falles, klicken Sie hier.
In 2002 a group of South Africans, represented by the Khulumani Support Group, sued 20 banks and corporations in US federal court that did business in South Africa during apartheid. The plaintiffs allege that the participation of the defendant companies in key industries during the apartheid era was influential in encouraging and furthering abuses against black Africans during that time. The plaintiffs are victims of human rights abuses such as extrajudicial killings, torture and rape, and they allege that the defendants' activities in South Africa during the apartheid era made them complicit in the commission of those abuses.
The South African Government was opposed to this lawsuit, and it filed documentation with both the district court and appeals court publicly stating its position regarding the case. A federal district court judge granted the defendants' motion to dismiss in November 2004. The plaintiffs appealed this dismissal in August of 2005. In October of 2007, the appeals court reversed the lower court's dismissal of this case and remanded the case back to the lower court for further proceedings. On 10 January 2008, the defendant companies petitioned the US Supreme Court for certiorari, asking the court to hear their appeal of the October 2007 decision of the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In May 2008, the US Supreme Court declared that it could not intervene in this case because four of the nine justices had to recuse themselves for apparent conflicts. Lacking the required quorum, the Supreme Court had no option but to uphold the decision of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals allowing the lawsuit to proceed. On 8 April 2009, the federal district court issued a ruling in this case. The judge's ruling narrowed the claims in the case but allowed the case to continue against Daimler, Ford, General Motors, IBM and Rheinmetall Group. In September 2009, the South African Government announced its support of the lawsuit, withdrawing its previous opposition to the case.
The South African Justice Minister sent a letter to the District Court judge informing her that the government believes the court to be the appropriate forum to decide this case. In August 2013 the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit returned the case to the lower court and recommended dismissing the case, citing the US Supreme Court's limitation on extraterritorial application of the Alien Tort Claims Act in Kiobel v. Shell. On 26 December 2013 the lower court issued an order dismissing Daimler and Rheinmetall from the case, but the court declined to dismiss the claims against IBM and Ford. In April 2014, the lower court ruled the plaintiffs could amend their complaints against Ford and IBM to provide evidence that the companies' activities "touch and concern" the territory of the United States. The judge said that in order to overcome the presumption against extraterritoriality set forth in Kiobel, the plaintiffs must show corporate presence plus additional factors. On 29 August 2014, the lower court judge dismissed the case finding that the plaintiffs had not shown a sufficient connection with the United States to warrant the case being heard in US court.
On 27 February 2012, the plaintiffs reached a settlement with General Motors.

The quest to hold corporations liable for alleged human rights abuses committed abroad was dealt another blow late last month when a New York District Court judge tossed the last of the apartheid-related cases pending against two American corporations...In a begrudging bow to current precedent...Judge Shira Scheindlin...denied plaintiffs' motion to amend their complaint because they would be unable to meet the stringent demands of a test announced by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals earlier in the year...It seems, then, that all an American corporation has to do to protect itself from ATS exposure is ensure that, to the extent it engages in violations of international law in another country, it does so through a foreign subsidiary...As for Judge Scheindlin..."That these plaintiffs are left without relief in an American court is regrettable," she wrote. "But I am bound to follow [precedent]..."...

"Justice Further Delayed in Apartheid Case", 04 Sep 2014
Last week..Judge Shira Scheindlin...dismissed a...case brought by black South Africans against U.S. companies IBM and Ford...But there was every indication that she did so reluctantly, and with regret...[S]he dismissed the Apartheid case, not because her personal view of the law compelled it, but because she had no other choice...[T]he federal courts have contorted the content and meaning of the Alien Tort Statute beyond recognition...In her decision...Judge Scheindlin wrote "[t]hat these plaintiffs are left without relief in an American court is regrettable. But I am bound to follow Kiobel II and Balintulo, no matter what my personal view of the law may be."...Whatever does happen next, one thing is clear: the Apartheid plaintiffs have waited too long for justice.

"US District Court Judge Scheindlin dismisses the Apartheid Litigation on grounds that the recent narrowing of the scope of application of the Alien Tort Statute now prevents claims that involve foreign subsidiaries of American corporations", 1 Sep 2014
After twelve years of sustained advocacy towards ending the impunity of transnational companies for aiding and abetting the perpetration of gross human rights violations in South Africa, through their collaboration with and provision of military and other strategic equipment to the security agencies of the apartheid regime, the presiding judge, Shira Scheindlin has ruled that ATS jurisdiction following Kiobel II no longer extends "to claims involving foreign conduct by foreign subsidiaries of American corporations."… This particular setback comes at a historic point in a growing global movement seeking to end the impunity of multinational companies for corporate crimes. In June this year, the United Nations Human Rights Council moved for the building and adoption of a binding treaty to prevent human rights violations by transnational corporations. The Khulumani litigation has long pioneered efforts to secure accountability for corporate crimes...

"Apartheid corporate lawsuit dismissed", 29 August 2014
A Manhattan federal judge has dismissed a 12-year-old lawsuit accusing Ford Motor and IBM of encouraging human rights abuses in apartheid-era South Africa, reluctantly concluding that the case does not belong in US courts…Judge Shira Scheindlin…said the black South Africans who brought the case did not show "relevant conduct" by Ford and IBM within the United States to justify holding the companies liable. The plaintiffs had accused Ford, IBM and other companies of having…aided South Africa's former apartheid government in abuses such as killings and torture… In April, Scheindlin…gave the plaintiffs one more chance, to meet the new [Alien Tort Claims Act] standards imposed by…higher courts. But in Thursday's decision, she said the bar proved too high, and that any alleged international law violations were by Ford's and IBM's South African units, and occurred abroad.

This case arises out of allegations that various corporations aided and abetted violations of customary international law committed by the South African apartheid regime. The remaining plaintiffs are members of two putative classes of black South Africans who were victims of apartheid-era violence and discrimination. Plaintiffs seek relief under the Alien Tort Statute ("ATS"), which confers federal jurisdiction over "any civil action by an alien for a tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States." 1 The remaining defendants…Ford…and…IBM…are American corporations accused of aiding and abetting violations of the ATS by manufacturing military vehicles and computers for South African security forces. Plaintiffs move for leave to amend their complaints. For the following reasons, plaintiffs' motion is DENIED.

"Two New ATS Decisions: Fourth and Eleventh Circuits Split on Whether Claims Against CACI and Chiquita "Touch and Concern" the Territory of the United States", 27 Jul 2014
...[F]ederal appellate courts have recently issued two significant, and potentially conflicting...decisions interpreting the extraterritorial reach of the Alien Tort Statute in light of the Supreme Court's Kiobel decision…[A] Fourth Circuit panel reversed the dismissal of an ATS claim brought against CACI, a U.S. defense contractor, by former detainees in Abu Ghraib prison who alleged they had been tortured or abused by CACI employees; the panel concluded that the claims did "touch and concern" the territory of the United States…[A] split panel of the Eleventh Circuit ordered the dismissal of an ATS claim filed by…Colombians against Chiquita…in connection with its alleged payments to paramilitary forces in Colombia [on the grounds that] "There is no allegation that…any other act constituting a tort…touched or concerned the territory of the United States with any force."...[These] decisions demonstrate that Kiobel still did not resolve the extraterritorial application of the ATS, at least to the conduct of US corporations…[Also refers to Archer Daniels Midland, Cargill, Ford, IBM, KBR, Nestlé]
Author: John Bellinger, Lawfare (USA)
…Judge Scheindlin held, in the long-running Apartheid litigation, that corporations may be sued under the Alien Tort Statute. Her decision directly conflicts…with the Second Circuit's…decision in Kiobel (holding that corporations are not subject to liability under the ATS) but also with the Second Circuit's post-Kiobel decision…in the Apartheid case (deciding that the ATS suits against the defendants in the Apartheid case were barred by the Supreme Court's decision in Kiobel)…Judge Scheindlin authorized the plaintiffs to…amend their complaints against Ford and IBM …to provide evidence that the companies' activities "touch and concern" the territory of the United States…Scheindlin agreed to dismiss the two remaining foreign corporate defendants — Daimler AG and Rheinmetall…Scheindlin finds that by concluding in Kiobel that "mere corporate presence" is not sufficient to overcome the presumption against extraterritoriality, the Supreme Court by necessity implies that "corporate presence plus additional factors can suffice..."...[Refers to Daimler AG, Ford, IBM & Rheinmetall]

Ford Motor Co and IBM Corp will again have to face a U.S. lawsuit claiming they encouraged race-based human rights abuses in apartheid-era South Africa, despite...recent court decisions limiting...such cases... U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin in Manhattan accepted an argument...that corporations may be held liable under...the Alien Tort Statute (ATS)... "No principle of domestic or international law supports the conclusion that the norms enforceable through the ATS ... apply only to natural persons and not to corporations," Scheindlin wrote... [The] 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals...had said [the case] should be dismissed... The plaintiffs contended that by having made military vehicles and computers for South African security forces...[the] companies...had aided and abetted...[the] apartheid government in perpetrating abuses, such as killings and torture. The litigation seeks class action status, with potential damages in the billions of dollars. [Refers to claims against Daimler, Rheinmetall, General Motors that were dismissed; also refers to Kiobel v. Royal Dutch/Shell.]

[A]t the 9 Bedford Row International Conference on "Human Rights in Post-Revolution States"... [m]y talk was on "Corporate Accountability for Human Rights Violations in Countries in Transition". The area of corporate accountability and transitional justice is relatively under explored...I...present[ed] a selection of cases...to highlight the type of issues that are likely to arise when trying to hold corporations, or business people, accountable for human rights violations in countries that have transitioned from conflict to peace, or from authoritarian rule to democracy...Post World War II trials against industrialists and bankers in US zone of occupation in Germany; The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission's findings on business...; The Apartheid cases before US federal courts...; The Van Anraat case in the Netherlands; The ongoing Amesys and Qosmos cases in France...[W]here to draw the line between making profit by doing business with a criminal regime, and being criminally or civilly liable?..[U]nfortunately these cases provide no definite answers.
