Night Film by Marisha Pessl will be one of the most talked about books of the fall. This new thriller is riveting, impossible to put down and hair-raisingly creepy.
It's the story of a washed-up journalist ruined by the story that got away. Scott McGrath was once a successful investigative journalist who tracked down the darkest, seediest stories. The one elusive target that cost him his career was film director Michael Cordova. Cordova is the director of dark, transgressive films that are so disturbing they cannot be played in theaters. The films are only rarely shown at secret screenings in tunnels around the world.
During his initial investigation of Cordova, McGrath got a lead that the secretive film director may be hurting children. McGrath went public with the accusation and was subsequently sued by Cordova's team of lawyers. Since he had no definitive proof, his career as a journalist was essentially over.
Fast-forward several years later. Cordova's daughter, Ashley, has just committed suicide under mysterious circumstances, and McGrath again becomes obsessed with the dark, twisted world of the Cordovas. Follow McGrath into the world of Michael Cordova where reality is elusive and dark forces may be at work.
Pessl's unique style will be one of the first things readers notice. She spins her dark labyrinthine tale by interspersing newspaper and website clippings throughout the book. The technique pulls the reader further into the book and adds to the overall authenticity of her story.
Readers who like creepy, disturbing stories will relish the dark paths McGrath will take to find the truth.
Superheroes in general are reaching new heights of popularity and, with an unbroken string of cinematic hits, that is especially true of the heroes of the Marvel Universe. Matt Fraction is one of the hottest comic book writers in the industry today, known for his cool, hip and edgy take on characters like the Fantastic Four, X-Men, Iron Fist, Thor and Iron Man. It is his work on another Avengers team member that is creating the buzz now. In Hawkeye Vol 2: Little Hits, Fraction and artist David Aja prove the quirky, wild fun they began in Hawkeye Vol 1: My Life as a Weapon was no fluke.
Hawkeye, or "hawkguy" as many of his neighbors insist on calling him, is a mere mortal on a team of gods, geniuses and super-soldiers. He has been a thief, a carney, a hero, and in the cinematic version, a highly trained government agent and assassin. Fraction clearly aims to tie all these threads together, or as he states in the first issue of the series, "…this is what he does when he is not being an Avenger…" Fraction's Hawkeye lives in an apartment in Brooklyn, where most of his neighbors seem to know who he is and what he does for a living. When his neighbors face eviction at the hands of a local slum lord backed by an Eastern European mob, Hawkeye comes to the rescue in a way that is both hilarious and has long-term — and ever increasing — repercussions.
You almost never see Hawkeye in costume in this series and, while he crosses paths with villains, it tends to be inadvertent. The art and color scheme of these two books tie them together and give an overall "Mod," almost 1960s feel, while still being completely modern. This series, while reflecting the cinematic Hawkeye more, are definitely written with adults in mind. This is a series for mature readers, as many of the situations and dialogue are not child-friendly. Fraction enjoys dropping the reader — and his hero — into the middle of action at the start of each issue, with Hawkeye uttering the phrase "Okay, this looks bad." The worse things look for Hawkeye the more fun it is for the reader as Fraction takes us on a wild ride.
Hawkeye: Little Hits is just as strong as the first volume and continues the theme that you can be a hero and still be a train wreck at the same time. Fraction's Hawkeye seems to embody the Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye from the Saturday Night Live sketch, spoofing the climactic battle from The Avengers movie when Renner turns to Captain America and says "I'm all out of arrows, I don't have any more…so, uh, I guess I'm done, right? All right, I'll be in the car. Stay safe!"
As sumptuous and richly textured as the Renaissance age she resurrects, Blood and Beauty's descriptive language beguiles the reader from the start, sweeping away the veils of a half a millennium to reveal the all too human nature of some of the papacy's most notorious players: Rodrigo, Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia. From her first foray into the conclave of cardinals at the book's opening, author Sarah Dunant hooks the reader, sparing none of the earthy details of Rodrigo's physical surroundings and fostering no sense of reverence for the chasm of time separating the modern reader from historical figures. Instead, Blood and Beauty reads as though we are joining the author on the scene of a current event, as breathless with anticipation as the citizens waiting outside on that sweltering summer's day.
Thoroughly researched, Dunant's narration often lends the flavor of the objective journalist, parsing through the rumors and mystique of the Borgia legacy to hint at another layer of truth behind the real people and events as they bloomed to life. The scope of Durant's task is ambitious. Contemporary and historical accounts of the Borgias suggest so intricate a web of deceit, power lust and manipulation that a sensationalist approach might all too easily have suggested itself to a writer.
Instead, Dunant refrains from judgment in her analysis, casting a more sympathetic portrayal of Lucrezia, and skillfully demonstrating the transformation of a teenage Cesare from a youth to the hardened, brutal character who would later inspire Machiavelli. The resulting multi-layered personalities prompt an altogether more subtle, nuanced interpretation of the infamous Borgia clan, rendering their story that much more compelling.
Recommended for those readers who favor a certain historicity in their narratives. Fans of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and any number of Sharon Kay Penman's works will be drawn to Blood and Beauty.
Always eagerly anticipated, Great Britain's Man Booker Prize for Fiction committee announced its 2013 Long List on July 23. The Man Booker is widely considered Britain's most prestigious literary award and has such a devoted following that one can lay odds with a bookie on the winner. The Long List will be whittled down to six selections in September with the winner declared on October 10, 2013.
The books and authors on the Long List are often an eclectic bunch and this year is no exception. Ireland's Colm Toibin is named for his The Testament of Mary, a very short novel written in the first person from the perspective of the grieving and bitter mother of the crucified Jesus Christ. Zen-Bhuddist priest Ruth Ozeki, who divides her time between British Columbia and New York City, made the list for A Tale for the Time Being, in which a Canadian woman finds the diary of a bullied Japanese teen washed up on the Pacific shore. The story unfolds as the diary entries are read.
We Need New Names: A Novel is Zimbabwean author NoViolet Bulawayo's contribution to the list. Preteen Darling, her home destroyed and father gone, lives with her mother in the shantytown of Paradise. She and her friends play games inspired by the violence of the post-colonial Mugabe regime until Darling is shipped to America to live in "Destroyed", Michigan with her aunt's family. Bulawayo writes "there is no journey without a price", and Darling's journey from comfortable home to Paradise, then from Paradise to America all comes at a cost.
In her captivating new novel The Husband's Secret, Australian author Liane Moriarty examines the nature of secrets through the lives of three women connected by an elementary school. Everyone thinks Cecelia has the perfect life. She has a profitable Tupperware sales business, a loving husband and three beautiful daughters. She is the president of her daughters' school's Parents and Friends Association. One day, she finds a letter hidden in a box of old tax papers. It is from her husband John-Paul, and it says that she should open it upon his death. When she asks him about the letter, John-Paul says that it's nothing, but Cecelia can't stop thinking about it. She eventually opens the letter, and nothing in her world can ever be the same.
Tess's life is turned upside-down when her husband and cousin Felicity reveal that they have fallen in love. Betrayed by the two people who she trusts most, Tess immediately leaves to stay with her mother in Sydney, enrolling her young son at St. Angela's Primary School. That's where she reconnects with her ex-boyfriend Connor, who is now a teacher there.
Rachel's life was destroyed when her teenage daughter Janie was murdered in 1984. She has always believed that Connor, the last person to see Janie alive, was the murderer. Now, she is the school secretary at St. Angela's, and it kills her to see Connor going on with his life as if nothing has happened.
The Husband's Secret is charming, witty and unforgettable. Author Emily Giffin calls it "a story reading groups will devour. A knockout!" Secrets swirl throughout the novel, and the reader soon understands that the stories of these three women are irrevocably intertwined. Each of the characters learns that once you know the truth, you can never go back to not knowing it. This novel is a page-turner, and it will stay in your mind long after you finish reading the last page.
Bestselling crime writer Elmore Leonard passed away today at age 87 following a stroke earlier this month. Leonard's remarkable publishing career spanned six decades. His initial works were westerns, and the first of these was published in 1953. His most recent book, Raylan, featuring one of his most popular characters, was released in 2012.
Leonard's colorful characters, strong dialogue and gritty, realistic settings quickly caught the eye of Hollywood. Twenty-six of Leonard's novels and short stories have been adapted for movies and television. Among his best-known works which made it to the big screen are Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Hombre and Rum Punch, which was filmed as Jackie Brown. Several of Leonard's short stories were also made into popular movies, including 3:10 to Yuma and The Tall T. The current FX series Justified is based on short stories and novels featuring Leonard's enduring character Raylan Givens, a deputy U.S. Marshal.
While maintaining a popular readership, Leonard also received critical acclaim. In November, Leonard received a Medal for Distinguished Contribution from the National Book Foundation. Other honors include a Peabody Award for the television show Justified, a Grand Master Edgar Award and a PEN Lifetime Achievement Award.
Check out some of the titles available in a variety of formats by this legendary author.
John Milliken Thompson, author of The Reservoir, now brings us Love and Lament, a Southern historical drama told from the point of view of idealistic Mary Bet, the youngest of the troubled Hartsoe family's nine children. Due the woeful succession of deaths on the Hartsoe homestead, Mary Bet grows up believing her lineage is cursed. Her innocent mind makes sense of the losses by assuming that it is God's punishment for her own sins, despite that they are slight offenses to everyone's eyes but her own.
Against the landscape of pastoral North Carolina undergoing industrialization from the late 1800s through World War I, Mary Bet struggles to make a life for herself. She is a fresh and likable soul through whose eyes we see a pastiche of townsfolk. There are her dueling grandfathers whose ancient property feud comes to a scuffle over a poker game. And there is the illegal distillery worker who has to ruin his own batch of mash during a late-night booze raid on which she has tagged along as honorary second deputy.
Although grief, atonement and the misfortunes of love are deeply intertwined in the episodic trials and tribulations of its brave heroine, joy, wit and laughter are skillfully sewn into this Southern saga. The tumult of Reconstruction is evident at the ballots, in the work place and throughout the social order of the land. Thompson's research and talent of narrative make this a perfect pick for fans of accurate historical fiction.
Sylvie Mason's family life is anything but ordinary. Her parents earn a living exorcising tormented souls and traveling the country giving lectures on these experiences. Her older sister Rose rebels at every opportunity, and has a serious mean streak. There is also a possessed Raggedy Ann doll caged in her basement. Things aren't any easier at school where Sylvie faces constant ridicule from classmates as a result of the bizarre stories circulating regarding her parents. Then tragedy strikes one stormy night when her father and mother are gunned down in their church, which is where Help for the Haunted by John Searles begins. These senseless murders set the tone for this cryptic and eerie novel.
The story is presented from two different perspectives with chapters alternating in time between present day, and life in the Mason household before the murders. Searles authentically captures Sylvie's 14-year-old voice throughout the course of the novel, from her frustration with her sister and worry for her mother, to her overwhelming desire to say what people want to hear. This character driven story is also swathed with shadow and uncertainty as unexplained events keep the element of mystery growing. Searles joins the esteemed company of Laura Lippman and Martha Grimes in setting his suspenseful and creepy novel in a Baltimore County community. Readers will appreciate the many local Dundalk references and landmarks, which punctuate the story and lend it an air of authenticity. The mystery of what really occurred on the night of the murders drives the story to an exciting and astonishing conclusion. Help for the Haunted is a fascinating novel that puts a different spin on the traditional ghost story.
This murder mystery is a true whodunit with murder served up as the main course, while romance and comedy are definitely delectable side dishes in this new series, Rules of Murder, by Julianna Deering. Deering takes a foray into the past with Rules of Murder, which takes place in 1932 and is set in a quaint countryside town in Hampshire, U.K.
The novel opens to Drew Farthering returning to his extravagant manor house after a long vacation with his friend Nick. Drew returns home to find that his mother and stepfather are entertaining guests for this weekend including his stepfather's beautiful niece, Madeline. It's during the festivities that they find two people dead on the property.
Drew, being a fan of murder mystery books, is eager to see if he can uncover the plot behind the murders using Ronald Knox's "Ten Commandments for Mystery Writers." He soon discovers that he isn't the only one interested in deciphering the mystery as Madeline inserts herself into the investigation. The two "detectives" make a connection at the party that blossoms as they work together to uncover the murderer.
This book felt like a combination of The Great Gatsby and a Sherlock Holmes mystery. The mystery will keep you guessing until the end though; the reader is given enough information to take a stab at uncovering the murderer, if they read carefully. There are touches of fact mixed in with the fiction that add to the realism of the book. If you enjoy Agatha Christie, this book may be for you.
Never trust a stranger with a flat tire. Never park more than six spaces from your destination. Never be stranded. In Koethi Zan's debut thriller The Never List, Sarah and her best friend Jennifer became obsessed with creating what they called the Never List after they were in a car accident when they were 12. The list was their own guide to avoiding anything that might lead them into danger. Throughout their teen years, they studied statistics and filled notebooks with rules to help them avoid situations that might make them vulnerable. Even though the girls were vigilant about following their rules, the unthinkable happened, and they were abducted. Sarah never saw Jennifer again.
Ten years later, Sarah has a new identity. She rarely leaves her New York City apartment, choosing to remain in her safe haven whenever possible. When she learns that her sadistic captor is up for parole, she becomes obsessed with understanding the clues that she thinks he has hidden in his recent letters. This sends Sarah on a journey to try to find evidence that will keep him in jail. The Never List is a gripping psychological thriller. Sarah's terror is palpable in the first-person narrative. Zan slowly doles out the details of the kidnapping as the book progresses, leaving the reader breathlessly awaiting the next piece of the puzzle.
Although it was written over two years ago, this novel contains eerie similarities to the Ariel Castro case, in which he kidnapped and held his victims for more than a decade. Zan was shocked by the parallels. She addressed the astonishing coincidence in this recent interview.

In this age of cocktails and mixology, it's refreshing to slip into Toscana in Brentwood. The dinner space at this Italian restaurant is airy and bright, with crisp white tablecloths holding up dish after dish of al dente pastas and simple tomato sauces. But the bar at Toscana is a decidedly different take, with long communal tables and sturdy barstools. Couples can find themselves slipping comfortably into a $100 bottle of Italian wine by candlelight, while after-dinner drinkers can sip pleasantly on the Monte Bianco, a lemon sorbet blended with Ketel One, prosecco, a touch of elderflower liqueur and a dusting of ground coffee.

+ - 229 Cyberespionage For Everyone->
"Researchers at Norman Security today revealed that they recently analyzed malware used in phishing emails targeting Israeli and Palestinian targets and found that attackers used malware based on the widely available Xtreme RAT crimeware kit. The attacks, which first hit Palestinian targets, this year began going after Israeli targets, including Israeli law enforcement agencies and embassies around the world. Norman says the same attacker is behind the attacks because the attacks use the same command-and-control (C&C) infrastructure, as well as the same phony digital certificates.
This attack campaign just scratches the surface of the breadth and spread of these types of attacks around the world as more players have been turning to cyberspying. "We're just seeing the tip of the iceberg," says Einar Oftedal, deputy CTO at Norman."

The problem, of course, is that some students just grab the final-result file and rename it and turn it in. Some are a little less brazen and they rename a few layers, maybe alter the colors on a few images, etc. So, it becomes time-consuming for her to open each file alongside the final-result file to see if it's "too perfect".
When I first discovered that she was doing this, my first reaction was that there's got to be some automated way of catching the cheaters. Of course, my first idea of just doing MD5 hashes of each file won't work, since most kids alter the file a little bit.
A second idea I had was to alter the final-result file in a way that isn't obvious, like removing someone's shoelace, mis-spelling a word in the background, or removing/adding some dust-specks. (I know map publishers and music transcribers use this trick to catch copiers). But this still requires that she look for the alteration in each file. I'd think that Photoshop, after all these years, would have some kind of scripting language which also supports some digital watermarking, but I've just never dabbled in that realm.
And, of course, I guess another solution would be for her to not provide the end-result file in Photoshop format, but to export it as a flat image. But I'm still intrigued by the notion of being able to "fuzzily" compare two photoshop files or images to find the ones which are too similar in certain aspects (color histograms, where the edges are, level of noise, whatever).
Anybody else have any clever ideas for this?

+ - 193 Why dissonant music sounds 'wrong'-> 1 1
There has long been thought to be a physiological reason why at least some kinds of dissonance sound jarring. Two tones close in frequency interfere to produce 'beating': what we hear is just a single tone rising and falling in loudness. If the difference in frequency is within a certain range, rapid beats create a rattling sound called roughness. An aversion to roughness has seemed consistent with the common dislike of intervals such as minor seconds.
Yet when cognitive neuroscientist Marion Cousineau of the University of Montreal in Quebec and her colleagues asked amusic subjects (who cannot distinguish between different musical tones). to rate the pleasantness of a whole series of intervals, they showed no distinctions between any of the intervals but disliked beating as much as people with normal hearing.
Instead the researchers propose that harmonicity is the key. Notes contain many overtones — frequencies that are whole-number multiples of the basic frequency in the note. For consonant 'pleasant sounding' intervals the overtones of the two notes tend to coincide as whole-number multiples, whereas for dissonant intervals this is no longer the case.
The work suggests that harmonicity is more important than beating for dissonance aversion in normal hearers (abstract)."

This comes in response to a policy change Red Hat had operated in early 2011 with the goal of undercutting Oracle and other vendor's strategy of poaching RedHat's customers. The Ksplice team says they've doing the work they're now making available since the policy was implemented; they claim to be now making it public because they "feel everyone in the Linux community can benefit from the work".
For Ksplice, we build individual updates for each change and rely on source patches that are broken-out, not a giant tarball. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to take the right patches to create individual updates for each fix, and to skip over the noise — like a change that speeds up bootup — which is unnecessary for an already-running system. We've been taking the monolithic Red Hat patch tarball and breaking it into smaller commits internally ever since they introduced this change.
At Oracle, we feel everyone in the Linux community can benefit from the work we already do to get our jobs done, so now we're sharing these broken-out patches publicly.

It's not 100% clear how much energy you can get out of that liter (you insensitive Imperial clod) though.
It's also not 100% clear whether the main aim of the setup is to purify water or to generate energy thanks to electrolysis.
In any case either aim would be a great thing in a continent like Africa. And the whole world as well.

Margery Allingham (1904-1966), Crime writer and novelist
Margery Louise Allingham
Sitter in 48 portraits
One of the most significant writers of detective fiction of the twentieth century, Allingham was encouraged by her father, an editor of boys' adventure stories and detective tales. Allingham wished to turn the detective story into a serious genre, stating that she made 'no distinction between the novel and the thriller'. Her husband, Philip Youngman Carter, illustrated the dust jackets for many of her novels, which included More Work for the Undertaker (1949) and The Beckoning Lady (1955), and often featured her detective hero, Albert Campion, who she first wrote about in 1929 in her novel The Crime at Black Dudley .

Dear Editor:
In his State of the Union Address, President Obama said, if Congress continues to "gridlock" his agenda, he would invoke his inherent powers and issue executive orders. Shouts of impeachment rang out in the GOP-controlled House!
Laws are made almost exclusively by legislation originated as acts of Congress; such acts are either signed into law by the president or passed into law by Congress after a presidential veto. However, presidents can issue orders, which have the force of law.
All presidents invoked this power except William Henry Harrison, our ninth president. John Adams, James Madison and John Monroe each issued only one. The three highest were Teddy Roosevelt (1,081), Woodrow Wilson (1,803) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (3,522).
Here are samples of presidential orders: Wilson provided conditions for employment for the Panama Canal. John F. Kennedy created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Jimmy Carter established the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Ronald Reagan created the president's commission on the HIV epidemic. Obama signed on Feb. 12 an executive order that requires federal contractors to raise their minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $10.10, effective in 2015.
Readers, for your information, the numbers of executive orders by our last three presidents are: Bill Clinton (364), George W. Bush (291) — and, for the past five years, Obama (169).

may do with varying success. To capture the imperfect nature of tests, let mI and mC be the proportions of incompetent and competent individuals, respectively, who are classified as incompetent.3 Thus, if the test could discriminate perfectly, mI would be one (all those from group I would be determined to be incompetent) and mC would be zero (none of those from group C would be determined to be incompetent). It is reasonable to assume that mI exceeds mC for current licensing tests, although the extent to which this is true is unknown and may differ among both the type of skills that are tested (basic skills, subject matter knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge) and among different tests of the same skills.
Further, assume that a cost must be incurred to take the test, including both a monetary cost, which is the same for both groups, and a cost in terms of the effort involved in preparing for the test, which may differ between the two groups.4 These costs are denoted by tI and tC. Although stronger than necessary,
The proportion of those who are not competent but who are classified as competent, 1−mI, is the type 1 error of the test and mC is the type 2 error.
The monetary cost may, in fact, be higher for group I if those individuals take the test more times (in order to pass it) than group C. In addition, the cost of failure is increased by specialized coursework required for licensure in teaching. To the extent that these education courses have a lower

Arkaim (Russian: Аркаим) is an archaeological site situated in the Southern Urals steppe, 8.2 kilometres (5.1 mi) north-to-northwest of Amurskiy, and 2.3 km (1.4 mi) south-to-southeast of Alexandronvskiy, two villages in the Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, just to the north from the Kazakhstan border.
The site is generally dated to the 17th century BC. Earlier dates, up to the 20th century BC, have been proposed. It was a settlement of the Sintashta-Petrovka culture.
Discovery and excavation[edit]
The site was discovered in 1987 by a team of Chelyabinsk scientists who were preparing the area to be flooded in order to create a reservoir, and examined in rescue excavations led by Gennadii Zdanovich. At first their findings were ignored by Soviet authorities, who planned to flood the site as they had flooded Sarkel earlier, but the attention attracted by news of the discovery forced the Soviet government to revoke its plans for flooding the area. It was designated a cultural reservation in 1991, and in May 2005 the site was visited by President Vladimir Putin.
Although the settlement was burned and abandoned, much detail is preserved. Arkaim is similar in form but much better preserved than neighbouring Sintashta, where the earliest chariot was unearthed. The site was protected by two circular walls. There was a central square, surrounded by two circles of dwellings separated by a street. The settlement covered ca. 20,000 m2 (220,000 sq ft). The diameter of the enclosing wall was 160 m (520 ft). It was built from earth packed into timber frames, and reinforced with unburned clay brick, with a thickness of 4–5 m (13–16 ft). and a height of 5.5 m (18 ft). The settlement was surrounded with a 2 m (6 ft 7 in)-deep moat.
There are four entrances into the settlement through the outer and inner wall with the main entrance to the west. The dwellings were between 110–180 m2 (1,200–1,900 sq ft) in area. The outer ring of dwellings number 39 or 40, with entrances to a circular street in the middle of the settlement. The inner ring of dwellings number 27, arranged along the inner wall, with doors to the central square of 25 by 27 m (82 by 89 ft). The central street was drained by a covered channel. Zdanovich estimates that approximately 1,500 to 2,500 people could have lived in the settlement.
Surrounding Arkaim's walls, were arable fields, 130–140 m by 45 m (430–460 ft by 150 ft), irrigated by a system of canals and ditches. Remains of millet and barley seeds were found.
The 17th century BC date suggests that the settlement was about co-eval to, or just post-dating, the Indo-Aryan migration into South Asia and Mesopotamia (the Gandhara grave culture appearing in the Northern Pakistan from ca. 1600 BC, the Indo-European Mitanni rulers reached Anatolia before 1500 BC, both roughly 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) removed from the Sintashta-Petrovka area), and that it was either an early Iranian culture, or an unknown branch of Indo-Iranian that did not survive into historical times.
In pseudoarchaeology and national mysticism[edit]
Since its discovery, Arkaim has attracted public and media attention in Russia, from a broad range of the population, including a significant number of esoteric, New Age and pseudoscientific organizations.[1]
One of the major researchers of Arkaim, Fyodor Petrov, acknowledged that he uncritically and non-scientifically supported the neopaganist views on Arkaim. His confession was published as an afterword to the book by Andrey Gupalo (Андрей Гупало «Духовное поле Аркаима»), which, in part, detailed how the archaeological results were "dovetailed" into the neopagan and esoteric theories.[2]
A popular comedian turned cinematographer Mikhail Zadornov shot a pseudoscientific film "Аркаим. Стоящий у Солнца" ("Arkaim. Standing by the Sun").
Swastika City[edit]
In order to gain publicity, the early investigators described Arkaim as "Swastika City", "Mandala City", and "the ancient capital of early Aryan civilization, as described in the Avesta and Vedas". The swastika description refers to the floor plan of the site, which (with some imagination) may appear similar to the swastika symbol, albeit with rounded arms (similar to the lauburu) attached to a central ring instead of a cross.
The similarity of latitude, date, and size led some (Bystrushkin 2003) to compare Arkaim with Stonehenge in England.[citation needed] According to their claims, the Neolithic observatory at Stonehenge allowed for observation of 15 astronomical phenomena using 22 elements, whereas the contemporaneous observatory at Arkaim allowed for observation of 18 astronomical phenomena using 30 elements. The precision of measurements in Stonehenge is estimated at 10 arc-minutes to a degree, that in Arkaim being put at 1 arc-minute. The interpretation as an observatory for either Stonehenge or Arkaim is not universally accepted.[citation needed]
Klyosov findings[edit]
Biochemist Anatole Klyosov conducted genetic researches, from which he hypothesised that the inhabitants of Arkaim and the other surrounding areas tentatively called the "Country of Towns", came from the Andronovo culture at about 2000 BC (4000 Ybp) and abandoned the area at about 1600 BC; "the population apparently moved to Northern India" <...> "under the name of Aryans".[3]

EVERYTHING COMES OUT IN OCTOBER!!!! Seriously, they couldn't space it out a little more?
Wazzah?! Free SNES game for 3DS?! If that offer is in North America as well, I'm actually gonna have to pre-order that one. I was gonna pick it up anyways, but hey...
Good, put it where people are used to being bludgeoned right in the wallet for trying to actually have fun with their games. At the very least they can't complain - no one else gives them a better choice.
@moomootown - Oh wow, thanks for the correction. The weapon-drop thing was my least favorite part of this otherwise fantastic game. Now it might very be perfect in my eyes!
I was going to say Freedom Planet, but since I may finish that on PC before it comes out, I threw a bone to The Next Penelope, since that actually looks a lot cooler than I remember.
Plus I forgot Fast Racing Neo was on the list.
Neat, now I can grab Streets of Rage.
Oh my god it happened!!!
Hope it comes to U.S. Soon enough!
Psssst....it's June 23rd, not July...
But seriously, I always thought Sonic's birthday was the 22nd, but found out the other day that I was completeky wrong. So all this time I've been using "June 22nd 1991" as a Birthday wasn't as amusing as I thought it was...
It probably won't mean anything. S-E seems to throw these things around to a lot of projects...
Fingers crossed
Yeah...I'd like it if someone could make something interesting with VR, but so far it looks like Kinect 3.0 - more gimmicky hardware that no one knows what to do with.
Xenoblade's my top one still, but my wallet's gonna be a little tight this holiday season thanks to all these games.
I agree that it still has its positives, but the amount of grinding in the early game actually trumps some of NES dragon quest games. Having to grind new characters all the way into the 20s from level 1 was not a smart move, for example. Honestly, I played it coming off of some of the better NES and Famicom RPGs, and this definitely doesn't hold up even against games of its era...
Might get this one depending on Singleplayer content and online functionality.
Disappointed, but not majorly so. I'll hope for the best, but if axing mp means a better singleplayer experience, I'll live.
Oh, boy, I don't even need to look at the comments to know this is gonna be a divisive game tonally. I still want it, but even I'm kinda shocked by the direction they went. Not that I don't like what I see, of course.
Freedom Planet <- Definitely.
Might also try Lovely Planet and Soul Axiom, I guess. Got nothing to lose, at least.
Will it also be on Windows 10?
Boogie time!!!
RYU!!! Gonna grab that one at least.
Just so people know, this isn't an Atlus developed game. It's by FuRyu, who previously made Unchained Blades (and a buttload of anime licensed games). This one in particular had a lot of staff who previously worked on Square classics like the SaGa series and the Chrono games.
No Miiverse support? That's...strange...not that I care either way, though.
EDIT: @Einherjar Oh, okay. That would make sense, then.
I have Back to Nature on PS, would Friends of Mineral Town be worth it, especially without the portability?
This is the news I was hoping to hear! Can't freakin' wait!
Cool, I'll probably get it on the 3DS at least. Maybe the PS4 if it ever goes on sale.
My position: Toys to Life is the biggest waste of money in the history of gaming. It's $25 DLC attatched to a figurine - the very definition of wasted plastic in a world where plastic itself is a slowly draining finite resource. I can't think of anything more stupid, and I can't wait until it crashes.
Wait, this is on VC? I recall this one being fairly expensive. Sounds worth $5 at least.
That's pretty good considering not too many games have been doing great in Japan these past few weeks, and a new IP during this period selling that well is definitely good news for Nintendo.
I'm going to Get Bit.Trip, I guess.
The music was good. I wonder if they'll release a CD...
This released on the eshop?!
I wouldn't say this game is easier as much as it's more forgiving. Easily the best in the Subseries, IMO.
Not what I expected a new Chibi-Robo to be like, but I'll probably get it...
I'll probably pick this up depending on how things go this August.
Oh my god that looks so adorable me want!
Considering this is from Kotaku, I'm not going to be surprised if it turns out this is completely misconstrued, if not completely false. As others have pointed out: Sakaguchi himself made the 'myth', either he had been bull$#!++ing us all this time, or someone made a really stupid move here. Either way, I'm disappointed...
@Bat-Moves98 Probably because it reminds them of one of the japanese laugh onomatopoeia "fu-fu-fu" which is sort of like "heh-heh-heh" for english speakers, or even a girlish giggle. And much like "heh-heh-heh," I'm not sure how much is actually used spoken and how much is simply "this is how we chose to represent that particular sound even though it comes out nothing like that sound"...
We'll see. I'm glad they said something - the silence was the most worrying part - but considering how long after the fact this is, this could just be marketing bologna. So we'll just have to see if they follow through. Until then, I'll continue to collect their older games, just in case I'm never gonna be able to play them on any current or future device that isn't a cellular phone soon...
I really enjoyed this one years ago. It'll be next on my download list, along with Axelay.
Oh god, the fingerprints are gonna stick out like a sore thumb on that one...
@TobiasAmaranth Dog version was definitely nice.
But hot damn, this game looks great. I really need to power through the Ace Attorney games, since it's obvious they simply ooze charm...
Too bad I bought all the good games in that list already...and most were at full price...
@ThomasBW84 Fine, but I can't stand it when people say "it's a game every fan of X genre should play". Because it never is, and I've been bamboozled a few too many times by such statements. There's just no such thing as a game that can appeal to such a broad spectrum of tastes. It's less about the "genre" and more about why you would play it, and I wish more people would be more specific on that part rather than just saying "If you like platformers you'll like this". That doesn't actually say anything specific about the game, it can interpreted a million different ways. I thank you for clarifying, but I still hold that the statement itself is untrue.
"All Platformer fans should want this game"
Unless you enjoy challenging platforming...or prefer more action-y platforming, or more adventure-y platforming...
This is almost as bad as when people told me "all RPG fans should play Atelier" or "all RPG fans should play Dark Souls" when I don't like games that focus on dull, repetitive tasks and lack any sense of story progression or urgency, nor do I like RPGs that are action-ficused and incredibly difficult and punishing.
Platforming is an incredibly broad genre, and there's an entire spectrum to the fandom. In reality, this game will only appeal to a single part of that spectrum. That goes beyond simple exaggeration and edges dangerously close to the territory of a straight up lie.
Kinda hope it at least has New 3DS Features, though, because those screens look quite a bit worse than the original. Especially in the draw distance...one of the cool things about the game was just how big the world was, and you could see it no matter how far away you were. Doesn't look like that'll be the case here....
@Kirk I'll give you that it did probably help it appeal to kids, so yes, if that's what you meant, you're right.
I strongly disagree that the games would be any better with more human character designs, though. In fact, I think it would be weird - they're aliens in an alien civilization that has interplanetary capabilities that, while advanced, don't extend outside their (admittedly very crowded) solar system, why would there be humans all of a sudden? Maybe they could've been more creative with the alien designs rather than anthropomorphizing Terran animals, but I think it still was a better choice story-wise than simply putting in humans like Captain Falcon or Samus Aran. I can't tell you how disappointed I was when it turned out Samus wasn't some weird-looking alien under the suit...and even in those, it made a little more sense since they had intergalactic space travel.
Of course, I doubt we'll come to much of an understanding on this one. I'll freely admit I'm a little too baised on this subject.

April's Tea of the Month
Origin: Fujian Province, China
Leaf Type: Green Tea infused with Jasmine Flowers
Taste: Sweet jasmine
Drink: Without milk
Brew: Lightly, 2-3 minutes according to taste with water off the boil
When to drink: Throughout the day
One of our most popular teas, these hand-rolled pearls of green tea have been crafted for matchless clarity of taste, characterised by distinctive floral notes of jasmine.
A speciality of Fujian Province in China, the youngest silver tips and buds of the tea leaf are layered with whole jasmine blossoms, picked at dusk when the scent of the blooms is most intense.
Left to absorb the oils of the flowers overnight, the leaves are then rolled into small, delicate pearls, producing a gloriously aromatic tea which can be infused multiple times.
A Gold winner in the 2012 Great Taste Awards, the judges admired its "good liquor, good colour and good jasmine."
Perfect for use in our Cold Brew T Bottle

The Phoenix Suns will be back in black next season. The Suns will bring back their black alternate uniforms from the 1990s for 10 games starting in 2013, the team announced Friday. The duds that legends like Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson wore while making the Suns a perennial championship contender will make a reappearance as part of the NBA's "Hardwood Classics" promotion. "To be honest with you, I thought they never should have gone away," Suns vice president of player programs Mark West said, demonstrating that he is both a gentleman and a scholar. "I thought once we introduced them, it should have been a part of the Suns legacy moving forward. But since they weren't, I'm really glad to see them coming back." The Suns introduced the "sunburst" look in 1992-93 on their home white and road purple jerseys. Two years later they added the black alternates that Jared Dudley, Goran Dragic and others will wear copies of next season. The only issue we have with this is the decision not to make the move immediately. Those periwinkle and gray unis the Suns wear now could be retired overnight, and nobody would be likely to miss them. Photo via Facebook/Kevin Johnson

COLUMBIA, Mo. Statistics show that the number of people diagnosed with autism has increased steadily over the past 30 years resulting in a surge in the number of adults with autism graduating from high school. However, preliminary employment studies indicate that this population may earn less and be employed at a lower rate compared to other people with disabilities. Now, an autism expert at the University of Missouri is identifying employment resources that are available for people with autism and steps employers can take to improve the workplace and hiring process for this population.
"Despite the increase in diagnoses of autism in children, we know very little about autism in adults," said Scott Standifer, clinical associate professor in the School of Health Professions. "Often, people don't consider how children with autism will grow up and function outside of school. It is important to find ways for this population to be successful in the work environment."
Recently, Standifer released the "Fact Sheet on Autism Employment," which includes information and statistics about the adult autism community, organizations addressing autism employment and resources on workplace accommodations for autism.
Although people with autism often have trouble finding employment, Standifer said there are a number of resources that are available. He provides the following recommendations and tips to assist job seekers and employers:

Mark Cobb still hears the footsteps of al Qaeda terrorists in his dreams. Steve Wysocki feels guilty he lived and so many others didn't. Nick Frazier survived an attack in which hundreds of bullets were fired. All of them thought they were going to die. Cobb, Wysocki and Frazier, three of the five Americans who survived the al Qaeda attack on an Algerian natural gas facility that resulted in the deaths of 37 people, recount their ordeals for the first time to Charlie Rose for a 60 Minutes report to be broadcast, Sunday, Feb. 10 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Cobb is a manager for BP, one of the joint operators of the huge desert facility. He was in his office near a residential camp down the road from the gas plant when large-scale gunfire erupted. He went into a locked room with some of his co-workers, who hid him under a pile of maps in the corner. He didn't feel very safe. "If they started poking at the maps with an AK-47 or peeling maps off the top... I knew it was over," he tells Rose. He knew they were looking for Americans. "I heard them kick open the front door. That's I guess at the point, in all honesty that I felt pure terror... I elected to begin to make my calls to my family and say my goodbyes."
Cobb says he then heard the sound of doors being kicked in. Then he got lucky: his was one of only two doors the attackers failed to kick in. Soon after, determined he would not be killed or taken hostage, he escaped by running through a hole in a fence and through the desert to an Algerian Army base a half mile away. The sounds of the terrorists moving in the halls still haunt him. "The nightmares for me are all the same thing. It's the sound of those footsteps as they came down that hallway towards that door," says Cobb.
Wysocki, an oil and gas expert, was working in his office within the facility when the attack began. As he hid in his cubicle trying not to make noise, he heard something disturbing: the terrorists had found his boss, GorDon Rowan. Rowan did not survive the attack. Wysocki, feeling powerless, remembers, "I'm like, 'Why couldn't I have done something to help? And... [I] feel guilty that I was paralyzed with fear and not do[ing] anything," he tells Rose. "I'm especially guilty because they lost their lives and I didn't."
He, too, was able to eventually run to a hole in the fence and escape to safety.
Frazier, a BP petroleum engineer, was on a bus that had just left the facility when the bullets began ripping through the vehicle's windows. After a mad dash for cover on the floor of the bus, Frazier was surprised by what followed. "It was very silent, very organized. It was as if we had trained for it, but we hadn't," he says. "You could hear bullets starting to hit the side of the bus. And it wasn't one, two, or three bullets. It was... hundreds. I texted my wife, 'The bus is under attack. Call the embassy. This is real. Do not call me,'" he remembers. Watch an excerpt.
Then, a 30-minute gun battle began between their attackers and Algerian army soldiers who came to defend them. "They saved our lives," says Frazier. "They returned...heavy, heavy gunfire...they stood by the bus and shot back and kept the terrorists from getting onto the bus," he tells Rose. Then, says Frazier, the soldiers turned back another attack before taking the riders to safety.
In addition to Rowan, two other Americans were among the 37 foreign workers who lost their lives in the attack on the In Amenas facility on Jan. 16. They are Victor Lovelady and Frederick Buttaccio.

Fun Embroidery Socks
By: Patti Jo Larson for Sulky
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Add machine embroidery to a pair of socks with this simple technique from Sulky of America. Match your socks to the embroidery on your shirt. Kids will love the addition of smiling animals. Make a pair of jungle socks to match the Wild Jungle Shirts.
- Sewing Machine
- Thread
- Cuffed Socks
- Sulky Sticky Stabilizer
- Embroidered Motif
- 2 mm Sulky Puffy Foam
- Embroidery Hoop
- Hoop a piece of Sulky Sticky Stabilizer, shiny paper side up.
- Score and peel back the paper from an area (approximately 3" square) near the center of the hoop.
- Leaving the sock right side out, extend the cuff out flat and simply lay it on top of the exposed Sticky Stabilizer. Hand press it into place. (It doesn't matter if the toe of the sock is laying toward or away from you or off to the left, because you can rotate the design.) Just square it up as much as possible and it will be easy to match the pair.
- You should now have the sock cuff held in place in the hoop. Of course, you do not want to embroider through both layers of the cuff, so simply roll back the top layer, exposing the right side of the cuff that the Sticky Stabilizer is holding. That (inside layer) is the one that will be embroidered.
- There are several ways to secure the top layer out of the way. Hold it with your fingers, use pins, or tack stitch it back by machine.
- With the top layer out of your way, use the positioning arrows to center the embroidery on the cuff. Simply touch and run the embroidery of your choice. Don't forget to use your small Puffy Foam scraps to make the embrodiery on the socks stand out even more.
Remember... First, the top edge of the cuff as it is extended out on the stabilizer in the hoop is actually the bottom of the cuff when it is turned down for wearing. Change the size of the embroidery by changing the stitch width and length. Second, to make a right and left sock you must place on sock on the Sticky with the toe pointing right and the other with the toe pointing left. Mirror image the embroidery on the sock.

Students eager to gain leadership skills and make a positive contribution in their community are being recruited for the San Fernando Valley Youth Council.
Sponsored by the Volunteer Center of Los Angeles, council members choose projects to perform in the community. In the past, the youth council has performed community cleanups, painted a mural at a middle school and hosted a barbecue for battered women and children, said Israel Ortiz, director of youth programs.
"If you expose them and train them, they become more connected to the community," said Ortiz. "It teaches them responsibility and shows them they can succeed in life."
The nonprofit organization Friends of the Family has given $10,000 to the Volunteer Center to cover a two-month training program, a weekend camping trip to teach leadership skills and other expenses associated with the youth council that meets weekly, Ortiz said. The council, geared toward students ages 15 to 18, consists of 25 to 30 members.
