Diagnostics for the Real World (DRW) focuses on manufacturing and commercializing technologies that addresses the unmet diagnostic needs of patients in developing countries. DRW's first product was a reliable, low-cost Chlamydia Rapid Test (CRT) that made it possible to conduct field-based screenings in remote, low-resource settings. DRW believed the CRTs were commercially attractive; however market introduction was met with stakeholder resistance and funder/consumer misalignment. This case explores the potential gap between the solution and market demand, as well as DRW's response.
Diagnostics of the Real World (DRW), a for-profit spinout from the Diagnostics Development Unit at the University of Cambridge, is focused on manufacturing and commercializing technologies created at the university that can help address the unmet diagnostic needs of patients in developing countries. DRW's first product was a reliable, low-cost Chlamydia Rapid Test (CRT) that made it feasible to conduct field- based chlamydia screenings. The team discovered that although chlamydia was a significant global health concern, its as not necessarily a top priority for nongovernmental organizations. There was also no ready-make market or large-scale demand for the CRT in developing countries. The case study describes the multi-source funding strategy DRW devised to support its operations without losing sight of its mission.
Traditional Borders (BTB), Rice 360°'s undergraduate program, challenges students to solve global health problems through real-world engineering design. By pairing students with faculty, clinicians, and mentors in developing world, BTB teams had designed an impressive portfolio for effective, low-cost medical technologies. However, the temporary nature of student teams and specialized focus of these inventions proved difficult to realize these projects in the market to create consistent solutions. This mini-case study tells the story of of BTB began working with 3rd Stone Design, a design, strategy, and development consultancy, to accelerate progress on their project DosRight Syringe Clip out of the lab and into the market.
When 3rd Stone Design, a product design, strategy, and development consultancy, licensed the DoseRight Syringe Clip out of the Rice University Beyond Traditional Borders (BTB) program, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) had placed a preliminary order for 200,000 units. The DoseRight product was a simple plastic clip, inserted into the top portion of a standard oral syringe to facilitate the accurate pediatric dosing of liquid ARV medications in countries with widespread HIV/AIDs. However, 3rd Stone Design encountered problems when their prototype could not be manufactured in high volumes at an affordable price. This case study explores how 3rd Stone Design modified its product design to fulfill the CHAI order.
When a team at Stanford University accepted a challenge to design a low-cost prosthetic knee joint that could be produced locally for use in the JaipurFoot Organization's clinics across India, the students were eager to dive into the technical aspects of developing a product. However, they learned the organization already used an inexpensive joint that through research, discovered that associated emotional and psychological issues needed to be addressed in creating a better design.
This seminal paper defines the term social entrepreneurship and helps shape, what was in 1998, the nascent field of social entrepreneurship.
The goal of this seminar is to investigate how social technology (e.g., blogs, websites, podcasts, widgets, community groups, social network feeds) can change attitudes and behaviors in ways that cultivate social change. We study the strategies and tactics used by companies and causes that have successfully catalyzed social persuasion.

The Mulago Foundation is a private foundation focused on the prospect of creating a better life for the world's poor. Concentrated in rural settings in developing countries, the foundation's work is in four areas that contribute to this overarching goal. The Foundation explicitly seeks to get involved with early-stage entities in these targeted areas so that it can grow with the organizations it supports. However, one challenge of getting involved with early-stage enterprises is that they sometimes focus too narrowly on the product rather than the capacity of management and development. This case study explores how Mulago Foundation evaluates prospective investments and the factors it considers before coming funds to projects and organizations.
Population Services International (PSI) was founded in 1970 as a nonprofit organization focused on improving reproductive health in developing countries using commercial marketing strategies. Over the years, PSI broadened its mission to address family planning, child and maternal health, and HIV and AIDS prevention, screening, and treatment. PSI opened an office in Lesotho and in 2010, a donor provided PSI/Lesotho with "a warehouse full" of female condoms (FCs) that the organization could use to help young women in the area protect themselves from HIV/AIDS. The challenge for the team was to figure out how to effectively distribute and promote the FCs since early versions of the female condom were notoriously unpopular.
The Mulago Foundation is a private foundation focused on the prospect of creating a better life for the world's poor. The Mulago team looks for investment opportunities in promising products and services that address these high-priority problems. In evaluating potential investments, the Mulago Foundation has observed how many global health innovators grapple with the choice between establishing their organizations as nonprofit or for-profit entities. This case studies Mulago Foundation's experience in the global health field and raises issues that innovators should consider as they evaluate their legal and capital structure.

Anti-Meter Fever Spreads as Regulator and Customer Mistrust Grows
By: SGN Staff
Some ratepayers are going to be in for a big surprise if they think they can continue to be wasteful, especially during peak times. If these kinds of rates proliferate, they will create a huge demand for energy efficiency programs for business and residential customers. And a word of caution to utilities: Take the time to convince customers that what you're doing is a win-win. Otherwise, it won't be.
Dominion Virginia Power extends a smart meter field test before going all out with a $600 million rollout. Duke Energy scales back a $450 million rollout after getting slapped by Indiana regulators. And PG&E's smart meter program, which has been taking punches from fighting mad customers for months, will get audited courtesy of state regulators.
Take your pick: sorta bad news or bad news.
Dominion's overall plan calls for replacing all 2.4 million meters in its service area with smart meters. About 55,000 thousand meters are now being tested in two locations.
Dominion says it's still committed to a Smart Grid and that the extended test phase is intended to address any concerns about the metering project. But the State Corporation Commission (SCC), which is beginning hearings on Dominion requests to put in place up to 12 demand response programs and rate hikes to pay for them, isn't pumped about the utility's smart meter program.
"The actual benefit value realized by ratepayers will be less than the costs borne by ratepayers," Howard M. Spinner, economics and finance division director for SCC, was quoted as saying in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. "The project is likely to save only 60 percent of the energy claimed by the company."
A Dominion spokeswoman said customers will help pay the cost of the smart meters, but will pay less over time.
While a Duke meter rollout in Ohio will hum along as planned, the company is cutting back a proposed Indiana Smart Grid project involving 800,000 meters and other digital equipment because regulators said it cost too much and that Duke hadn't shown that it would do customers much good.
And last but not least, beleaguered PG&E â€" which has been sued over its meter program by customers who blame the new technology for electric bill overcharges â€" is going to get audited. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is going to hire a consultant soon to conduct an independent audit of the utility's program.
While PG&E said it field tested over 1,700 meters and found no problems, that hasn't cooled off customers infuriated by the alleged overcharges and the company's tiered rate system. Under the system, rates per kilowatt-hour increase as more power is used and the customer climbs into the highest tiers. Its highest tier, 47.39 cents per kilowatt-hour, is well above Southern California Edison's highest rate of 34.25 cents per kilowatt-hour, not to mention the 11.47 cents in Austin, Texas.

"The Department of Education has issued letters in the past on how sports are defined. Do they prepare for competition in the way other teams do? Do they have coaches? Do they recruit? What's the length of their season and the number of practices? Is there a national governing body? The bottom line is whether their primary purpose is competition or just support from the sidelines," Chaudhry said.
The school argues that cheerleading has changed significantly since Title IX was passed in 1972. The cheers have become significantly more athletic, incorporating throws, tumbles and flips. It has also became more competitive, with squads competing against each other rather than just rooting for teams from the sidelines.
During last year's hearing, school cheer coach Mary Ann Powers defended competitive cheer as a legitimate sport, saying her team is made of athletes, most of them elite gymnasts.
Additionally, the university and seven other schools recently formed a governing body, the National Competitive Stunts and Tumbling Association, to govern and develop competitive cheer as a sport.
Competitive cheerleading championships previously were decided by two organizations — the National Cheerleaders Association and the Universal Cheerleading Association. Both are tied to Varsity Brands Inc., a for-profit company that makes cheerleading apparel and runs camps.
School officials testified in last year's hearing that the benefit of a competitive cheer team is more athletic opportunities for women at lower cost. Quinnipiac's cheerleading team cost the school about $1,250 per roster spot, the school testified last year. The team currently has 30 members. The volleyball team cost more than $6,300 per team member with 11 players in 2008-09 and a budget of more than $70,000, according to the testimony.
The volleyball players say the university has a pattern of discriminating against women athletes and manipulating rosters to appear to be in compliance with Title IX.
The school, they claim in the suit, overcounts its female runners. Women who run track, they claim, are counted on the rosters for indoor track, outdoor track and cross country, even though all those sports are essentially one team.
In order to make it look as if it had eliminated men's teams to balance the total number of opportunities available, the school eliminated men's outdoor and indoor track, but kept the same number of male runners, competing for a single track team.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

5 Thoughts ... Sept. 1
Five Thoughts:
2007 Thoughts
Fine, you
spend the next 30 years in Norman, Oklahoma.
the sports world have any real idea just how amazing and
untouchable Joe Paterno's record of 373 wins at the same
D-I/FBS school is? This is a very good, very
unappreciated Penn State team that should finish with at
least eight wins this year, and with the right breaks,
this could be a ten-win team. Say this is an 8-5 season
after the bowls and JoePa finishes the year with 380
wins at the school. Now, find the best combination of
youth and success in the game right now, probably
Wisconsin's Bret Bielema, who's 38 years old with a 22-5
record after beating Akron this week. To beat Paterno's
mark, Bielema will have to average, AVERAGE, 11
wins a season for the next 32 years, and that's assuming
Paterno is done after this season. Say Bielema averages
a solid nine wins a year for the rest of his career.
He'll have to coach close to 40 more seasons, and would
be close to 80 years old, to beat the man.
For another example, take Bob Stoops (please), who turns
48 on September 9th. With a 98-22 record at Oklahoma,
Stoops has averaged close to 11 wins a season so far,
and is likely to hit the mark again this year. To beat
Paterno's record, Stoops will have to stay in Norman for
more than 28 years to be in the hunt, and he'd be around
75 by the time he'd be close.
In other words, enjoy the history while it's happening
before the anti-Joe backers try to boot him out. You'll
never see these many wins by one coach at one elite
college football school ever again.
Dumping the Pitt
Richard Cirminiello
2. Shame
on everyone—present company included—who gave way too much
credit to Pittsburgh in the offseason. Saturday's lethargic 27-17
loss to Bowling Green in front of a stunned home crowd was Exhibit
A, B, and C that the Panthers aren't getting over the hump as long
as Dave Wannstedt is on the sidelines. This was supposed to be the
year that Pitt broke through, but no one gave enough of a look at an
offensive line that's trying to break in current pros Jeff Otah and
Mike McGlynn. Or enough analysis of Wannstedt, who's been a major
disappointment as a head coach in the pros and with three years at
his alma mater. Bowling Green is a nice MAC program, but with
expectations soaring in Western Pennsylvania, this was a game the
Panthers had to have in order to keep the positive offseason vibe
going strong. Now, after suffering one of the most embarrassing
losses of the opening weekend, Pitt might need to win the Big East
to keep Wanny off the unemployment line.
Talent, Schmalent
3. The first Saturday of the 2008 season reminded us is why
recruiting... and rankings... and assessments of (only) the physical
aspects of players are so woefully limited in their ability to predict a
team's fortunes.
Lots of folks claimed that the Pitt Panthers would be really good this
season... BCS bowl good.
For a team that's been downright mediocre over the past few years,
throughout the entirety of the Dave Wannstedt era, it seemed like a very
curious wave of distinctly unmerited hype. This was not a program that
seemed likely to suddenly become a big, bold bad boy in the college
football cosmos.
Saturday afternoon at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, the hype-meisters and
big-talkers were put in their place, as the home team suffered an ugly
and crushing loss to Bowling Green: ugly because of all the turnovers,
missed kicks, and dropped passes; crushing because of all the unearned
praise lavished upon the Panthers before they did anything to deserve
such veneration.
In life, it is said that a leopard doesn't change its spots.
In college football, the spots that don't change belong to the Panthers
of Pittsburgh.
As is the case with Texas Tech (we'll see how that program handles the
hype in 2008), it is wise to see legitimate and credible proof of an
ascendancy before daring to predict it.
Relax ... Pitt will be fine. Uh, really. Maybe.
everyone, this is week one. Week one. These are 18-to-22-year-old
kids who don't get preseason games like the pros, and they get
roughly a quarter of the practice and film room time of the NFLers.
That's not to say Pitt shouldn't have beaten Bowling Green, or Texas
A&M shouldn't have beaten Arkansas State, but the Panthers and
Aggies are hardly finished products. It's not like the Panthers lost
a conference game, like Oregon State did to Stanford, to inspire a
full-blown panic mode. They could quickly start to play up to their
talent level, beat Buffalo, and turn everything around. It's not
like Pitt was going to be playing for the national title. There are
three weeks before dealing with Syracuse in the Big East opener.
There are three weeks before the real season starts. Win the Big
East title, go to the Orange Bowl, forget about Bowling Green. (Or
beat Buffalo, get blasted by Iowa, lose to South Florida by 30, and
end the season by mid-October. This is Pitt, after all.)
Utah is a tight, veteran team that's healthier than it was at the
end of last season when it was red-hot over the second half, while
Michigan's offense is all but starting from scratch. Don't shovel
dirt on the Wolverines just yet; remember what they did as last year
went on.
Don't get too hung up on what happened. It's easy to go overboard
with love after finally getting to see teams hit the field, and it's
way too easy to assume as season is over, like Clemson's, even
though there's still everything to play for. If the Tigers go
ballistic and play like they're supposed to the rest of the way, the
loss to Alabama could quickly be diminished in the BCS rankings.
Remember, the human polls tend to punish later losses and forget the
ones that happen in August.
With that said, the big wins can set the tone. Now, Utah is a
possible BCS buster. Alabama is expected to be a player in the SEC
race, and Stanford all of a sudden appears to be dangerous. Coaches
should be able to spin week one any way they want to when it comes
to motivating their teams, but that only matters if everything goes
right in week two.

'The Unseen' brings Promethean full circle
Craig Wright's play about isolated prisoners and their torturer proves a thrilling swan song.
'The Unseen' by Craig Wright
Promethean Theatre production at Nova Southeastern University's Don Taft University Center Black Box Theatre, 3301 College Ave., Davie
8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 7 p.m. Sunday (no evening show March 25), 3 p.m. Saturday-Sunday, through March 25
Cost: $30 ($25 for seniors 65 and over, $15 students)
1-866-811-4111, www.theprometheantheatre.com
Craig Wright's The Unseen represents the completion of a circle for Davie's Promethean Theatre. The company was born eight years ago with its production of Wright's Orange Flower Water. After The Unseen closes March 25, Promethean will vanish, transforming from an active company into one more loss in the history of South Florida theater.
Money, not creative passion, is the issue. A small company's constant need to raise funds can grind its tiny staff down, so that the art gets clouded in worry or compromise. Producing artistic director Deborah L. Sherman and associate artistic director Margaret M. Ledford weren't willing to let that happen. So with The Unseen, they're sending Promethean off to the land of defunct theater companies on a thrilling, disturbing, dazzling high.
Wright's play, first seen at the 2007 Humana Festival of New American plays, takes place in a prison where the inmates are isolated and regularly tortured. The specifics of time and place aren't spelled out, so this particular hell on earth could be anywhere. Or today, everywhere.
We watch as two beaten, bruised, bloodied prisoners, men who can hear but not see each other, find ways to pass the time. Wallace (Andrew Wind) and Valdez (Antonio Amadeo) talk, reminisce, fantasize, argue and play a never-ending word game, all ways of taking their minds off the mortal danger that regularly visits in the person of their brutal guard, a maniac they call Smash (Alex Alvarez).
Wright explores hope and hopelessness, the effects of unimaginable brutality on both the victim and the torturer, the life-sustaining force of imagination and so much more. The Unseen is a fascinating play that raises more questions than it settles.
Ledford's direction and the collaborative work of set designer Dan Gelbmann, lighting designer David Radunsky and sound designer Matt Corey keep the audience on edge. The atmosphere in the "prison" is dark and creepy, pierced with sudden, unsettling sounds. The recorded pre-show admonition about turning off cell phones, not taking photos and so on is so threatening that you may never turn your phone back on again.
But what really sells The Unseen is the haunting performances by Wind as a man on the verge of finally breaking, the sweet presence of Amadeo as an optimistic soul who can pluck a world of hope from a tiny sound, and the explosive fury of Alvarez as a psychopath with one of the most horrifying descriptions of violence ever devised by a playwright. Alvarez, last seen locally as the funny gay cousin Julio in GableStage's The Motherf**ker with the Hat, comes off as utterly disturbing and unhinged in The Unseen. And that, folks, is great acting. Unlike money, that has never been in short supply at Promethean.

Children let off balloons containing their wishes at a groundbreaking ceremony in Yangpyeong County, Gyeonggi, yesterday. Provided by the company
Come this May, a shuttered school in Yangpyeong County, Gyeonggi, will come back to life by offering camps and activities to teach underprivileged children lessons that cannot be gleaned from textbooks or laboratory experiments.
A group of Korean companies, including KT, Korea's No.1 fixed-line operator and its No. 2 mobile carrier, held a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday at the school in Yangdong Township.
For the next two to three months, workers will renovate the premises and transform the facility to what the companies are tentatively dubbing a "Vision Center". It will host camps that run for three to four days and invite 100,000 children from underprivileged and impoverished families to attend free of charge.
At the so-called "Vision Camps", the children will grow vegetables and fruit, learn crafts, go camping, and develop important social skills. KT also plans to invite them to its Olleh Square in Gwanghwamun, central Seoul, a showroom and cultural zone where they will get to experience Korea's advanced IT infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Maeil Dairy will give them a tour of one of its factories and Hana Tour will teach them about the cultures and traditions of different countries.
In Korea, the dwindling birthrate has forced many schools to close, and the situation is far worse in rural areas than in urban centers. Many parents in farming or fishing communities move to cities to give their offspring better educational opportunities.
And as issues of bullying and teenage crime rattle the country, pundits have criticized the way in which Korea's education system is so focused on grades while neglecting character building and the development of people skills.

In response to wozzy's comment:
The reality is our defense forced them to punt 4 times, including after the disastrous interception to start the 4th quarter, that was one more punt than the Pats had.
Those 4 drives which resulted in punts ate 19:42 off the clock. That is practically 5 minutes a drive even when they didn't score. Compare this to say SB 25 which Rusty has likened this game to in terms of the play of our defense. The Giants D in that game forced 6 Buffalo punts and on those drives the total amount of clock eaten was 9:35. That is a HUGE difference. The defense was just as responsible as the O for the ToP discrepancy imo.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA -- Seven months after her first homecoming to Atlanta, WNBA rookie Maya Moore is still the toast of the town.
Like she did when she came back to town with the University of Connecticut Huskies in a game at Georgia Tech last November, the Minnesota Lynx forward and Collins Hill grad had much of the announced crowd of 7,274 at Philips Arena there to cheer her on during a 77-64 victory over the host Atlanta Dream on Sunday.
"It was a great day," Moore said. "The energy in the building was great. I saw a bunch of people I knew were there to support me. I'm just glad they were there to scream for my Lynx."
While it wasn't quite as dominant as Moore's first homecoming seven months ago, when she scored a game-high 30 points with eight rebounds in a UConn victory over Tech, her outing Sunday was another step up as she makes the transition from four-time college All-American to WNBA rookie -- albeit the No. 1 draft pick and one of the highest-profile rookies in league history.
Moore's numbers were solid as she finished with 12 points, eight rebounds, five assists and a blocked shot in just under 29 minutes on the court.
As with her previous homecoming at Tech, Moore got off to somewhat of a slow start Sunday, playing only just over four minutes in the first quarter and missing her first three shots from the field on her way to shooting just 33.3 percent (4 of 12) for the game.
"I was worried for Maya," said Minnesota head coach Cheryl Reeve. "I know a couple hundred (family and friends) were here. She was excited, and I think it showed."
However, as was also the case in November, she steadily began to settle down, finishing close to her season average of 14.2 points per game and exceeding her season norms for rebounds (4.4 rpg) and assists (2.6 apt).
And, of course, Moore still carries the rock star appeal she built up during her outstanding high school and college careers.
In addition to seeing dozens of players from her former AAU program, the Georgia Metros, sporting t-shirts with her name and familiar No. 23, in the crowd, more than 100 fans were waiting in the stands for her after the game for a meet and greet, with more fans waiting outside Philips Arena hoping for an autograph.
But after November's visit to town, Moore is a little less overwhelmed by the display of support, and was as focused on her play on the court and her development as a pro player as she was playing in front of the home folks.
"It's just a different feel (than in November)," Moore said. "I guess I don't get as much time to kind of interact and waive to the fans and appreciate them, (but) it was great.
"I just want to go out and make sure that I'm the person and the player my team wants me to be and needs me to be, ... making sure every time I'm on the court, I'm making something positive happen. ... I know there's going to be an adjustment period (to pro ball). I just want to be able to respond well and continue to learn quickly."

Less than six months after recommending the average daily intake of sodium for Canadians be cut by nearly 1/3, Canada has canned the working group tasked with making the recommendation a reality – and instead given the task to a group with strong food industry ties.
The recommended daily intake of sodium is 1500 mg; the sodium intake of the average Canadian is 3400 mg (the equivalent of about 1.5 teaspoons of table salt. Ew.) This number is so elevated largely due to the consumption of processed food in the Canadian diet – canned, packaged and restaurant food – containing high sodium levels. The Sodium Working Group was tasked to analyze the sodium intake of Canadians, provide recommendations and carry out implementation and oversight of the government's sodium reduction strategy over their five-year mandate. Members of the Sodium Working Group task force were therefore taken by surprise on a December conference call when they were informed their services would no longer be required.
Health Canada provided no explanation for the move.
The duties of the task force have been handed over to a group called the Food Regulatory Advisory Committee. Many members of this committee are involved in the food industry, such as Paul Paquin, Vice-President of the Canadian arm of the International Dairy Federation, or Keith Mussar, head of the Food Commitee of the Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters.
With these resumes, it's clear that these individuals will have more interest in maintaining profits for their respective industries rather than making any wholesale changes to the formulation of packaged foods. In other words, if sodium reduction in food would result in a negative impact to any of their industries, sodium reduction would probably quietly be sacrificed.
Excess sodium intake is linked to high blood pressure and an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. However, North American diets are primed to favor salt, so reducing salt in processed foods too quickly would send consumers away in droves, making sodium reduction a tough sell.
Was the Canadian government influenced by food industry lobbyists? Or did they feel the work would be better carried out within the industry? Only time will tell. Until then, all consumers should be familiar with how to read food labels and be aware of their own sodium intake – for their own health.

our politicians have always been in the pockets of the fast food industry. few years ago there was a report of how cooking carb foods at high temps produces cancer causing agents but the government quickly denied this report because it came from sweden, now after it's been proven to be true canada finally acknowledges the findings. our goverment has done nothing to address the high amount of sodium in our foods(more than any other country in the world) and the very low amount of vitamins and minerals in fast foods as well.
Interesting article.
Cost cutting at its worse "Members of the Sodium Working Group task force were therefore taken by surprise on a December conference call when they were informed their services would no longer be required."
Myriam Garcon ~ I never said that nobody has the right to demand a certain kind of food from one, some or every food companies or/and restaurants! What I object to is people who wants to ban something just because they don't like it or can't eat it or they think it is bad!
we should be allowed to put our own salt and not be forced fed it.
My point is that even the so-called low-salt prepared foods are too salty for people with hypertension and the like. It'd be nice to have prepared foods that agree with their diet.
My aunt is 80, hypertensive, from a rural community (not a jungle), living alone in her 150-year-old home, taking care of it by herself, and quite efficiently. She drives, she shops at the local farmer's market when it's opened, she cooks at home. It's just that once in a while, she'd like it if she could skip the chore of making lunch, and have a store-bought can of soup instead. But she can't; even the so-called "low-in-sodium" soups are too salty for her health. I know there are ways around that, the family could can homemade soups and bring it to her, even if she doesn't like to accept help too much.
The thing is, I thought I'd be allowed to ask the industry for some very-low-sodium prepared foods, but apparently, I won't be. Nancy Roussy will see to it.
I use Braggs Liquid Aminos in place of salt.
Myriam Garcon ~ There are a lot of prepared food available that are low on salt and they are easy to find (unless you live in a jungle or somewhere else where there is no stores that sells food and nobody will deliver food to where you live).

Glad to hear it's helpful.
makes moving bookmarks so easy! the old method was hit and miss with the dragged bookmark sometimes going where you wanted it and sometimes not. this utility makes moving a bookmark a snap by just clicking on the folder where you want it to go. you just right-click on the bookmark you want to move and the context menus pop-up. great job!
Thanks for your donation, I will keep working to improve this addon.

Microsoft dipped its toes in the Windows 8/Xbox One port pool with Halo: Spartan Assault, without receiving an overabundance of flak. This time, either taking a cue from rival Sony's Vita experiment, or perhaps ignoring the unfortunate fate of the Ouya, MS ported Ninjabee's Nutjitsu (May 8, 2014) from the Windows phone, giving it the Xbox One treatment. Will this stealthy Ninja Squirrel usher in a new age of indie game development for the new gen consoles, or will it be eaten by foxes?
In Nutjitsu, players assume the role of Risu, a ninja squirrel, who is tasked with retrieving acorns and scrolls from a rival clan of foxes, named the Kitsune, who have presumably taken the nuts by nefarious means. Gameplay is contained to one single-screen maze at a time, and level advancement unlocks new mazes to play. Objectives range from gathering nuts and scrolls, hanging out (the squirrel, not the nuts), or staying alive.
Players can choose either Ninja Missions or Survival Missions. Those who choose the Ninja Missions will have, alternately, five different objectives. Players will either collect acorns, collect a specific color of acorns, collect scrolls, collect acorns and put them in a bag, or loiter in a magic area for a specific amount of time. Survival missions only require you to continue breathing. Higher difficulty settings require you to collect more stuff or avoid more numerous enemies.
A Ninja's Bag of Tricks
Risu is able to take two two items with him at the beginning of each level. I know what you're thinking: I'll take the Katana and a sack full of ninja stars. Nope, Nutjitsu is the first ninja game in the history of gaming where the ninja does not fight. This nutless rodent has to make do with 5 different items, which have to be purchased with in game coinage, and may only take two with him. These items are mapped to the A and B buttons.
You Knew it Was Coming...
Nutjitsu is a perfect example of why porting games from a phone to the XBone just doesn't fucking work. First off, the screen doesn't fit the tv. The game is centered in the middle of my flat-screen and only uses about 60% of my tv. Yeah, I bought that big flat screen so I would have a huge black border that gives the illusion of playing a video game on a 20" television that I dropped down a fucking well. Nutjitsu is the first game that can be snapped like an app, which is completely pointless since the gameplay is seriously affected and almost twenty percent of the screen is obscured while it is snapped. Watch me snap my ninja rodent game so I can make it even smaller. Who's idea was that?
Can anyone out there think of another game where the protagonist picked up collectibles while evading enemies in a maze environment? Maybe I'll ask my friends: Inky, Binky, Pinky, and Clyde. Apparently, there was an arcade game around in the 80s that resembles this phone game..oh, did I say phone game? I meant next-gen console game: the phone version of this game is free.
I was going to include some of own gameplay into this review, but this game does not allow recording by the XB1's game DVR. That's a shame, because you're missing that one part where I cleared a level in 25 seconds.
Final Verdict
Nutjitsu is a good looking game, if your eyesight is good enough to actually see it, but it is also a very boring game. The weapons suck, the music might as well be a fucking lullaby, and the one unique feature that the game possesses, the snap, is ruined by not being able to play it while snapped. It's a perfect Windows phone game, it gives you something to play with when you're in the bathroom...well, something else to play with anyway. The levels can be knocked down like dominoes, making it a perfect portable to keep the kids occupied in the car or to briefly entertain in line at the DMV, but unless you're sitting on the can or waiting for a bus, there's no reason to play Nutjitsu. Download it for free on your phone, but give this Pac Man clone a pass on the console.
It's great if you're interested in boosting your achievement score by a cheap, quick and easy 1000. I loved the other ninja bee games and don't care if budget titles come to my next gen systems but this was by far my least favorite Ninja Bee game. I enjoyed it for awhile until I realized there was nothing more to it. Still an easy 1000 points.
I agree. Budget titles should not be overlooked solely because they are not $60 AAA titles, and XBL is fairly fertile ground for indie development. I think I picked up Minecraft 360 on a sale weekend and have put 408 hours into that game, which puts my personal game playtime right up there with Fallout, Forza, and Skyrim. The problem with Nutjitsu is that it doesn't entertain. If folks are willing to throw down seven bucks just to gain 1000 achievement points then look no farther, this is the game: it will be the fastest 1000 points they ever earned. However, I had a review code for the game and didn't feel that it was worth my time and felt angry and annoyed nearly the whole time I was playing it. I will likely delete this game without ever turning it back on, even for the cheevos. I appreciate your feedback, amigo, and thanks for sharing.

Mad Santa - Christmas Rush
**Winner of My Own Game Development Studio Best Free Game Award 2012, 2013 and maybe 2014**
**Runner up for Best Santa Game of the Week**
"A major activist of the reindeer cause."
Rudolph, President of the IASCR (International Association of Santa Claus' Reindeer) about Mad Santa
"SURELY the best game I've played this afternoon!"
Being Santa Claus is a risky business, and should be treated as such.
It does sound simple: deliver all presents through the chimneys. But the way is filled with obstacles, spoiled children and their stressed (and very well armed) parents. Miss a chimney hole and… PEW PEW!
Trust his own words:
"Dear You,
Due to the quantum physics of Earth's rotation and translation along with the telepathic and magnetic signals of the air against the movement of the seas and satellites orbiting the atmosphere, I wasn't able to call the reindeer for this Christmas. Yes, I know… it's pretty sad.
So I decided to build a balloon myself and deliver the presents!
Well.... Of course it isn't as fast as I needed, and... you know... I must go around the world in ONE SINGLE NIGHT! Can you imagine how hard that is?? Besides, I don't know exactly how to fly that thing. Which basically means Santa here needs your HELP!
Luckily my good friends at Countryside Games made me this game, which will let you help me deliver all the gifts.
Pick up your fruity, robotic or glassy electronic mobile device and join good old (and slightly Mad),

we've got signatures, help us get to 3,000 by December 31, 2009
Stephenie Meyer's hit novel, Twilight, was just recently made into a movie. It attracted milions of fans from all over the world. Also recently, we found out that there will be a Filipino TV series based on the novel, entitled "Takipsilim."
We want to put a stop to it because we believe that it will:
1. waste money which can be used for better things (it cost $1,000,000 to buy the rights to create a TV series :|)
2. not become popular
3. create an uprising with Twilight fans all over the world
