E3 2010: Metal Gear Solid: Rising Gameplay Debuts at Microsoft Press Event
Kojima Productions' next project is filled with crazy-violent swordplay -- and possibly Kinect support.
Hideo Kojima made a surprise appearance onstage at the Microsoft press event today to introduce Metal Gear Solid: Rising.
Producer Shigenobu Matsuyama described Rising as a "sword action game unlike any you've seen before" prior to showing the first gameplay footage from the game.
The trailer began with Raiden making short work of a cybernetic enemy with his sword, slicing the thing in half, then crushing its spine in his hand. Some incredibly violent gameplay scenes followed, with Raiden literally slicing people -- and the environment itself -- to pieces.
The game seems to have an interesting control method for slashing foes apart, as the demo showed Raiden cutting everything from watermelons to vans in a very precise manner. Nothing was confirmed during the event, but speculation points to Rising supporting Microsoft's new Kinect peripheral (formerly known as Project Natal).

How exciting.
Don't know 'bout the motion controls...Posted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by b_s0up
The slo-mo slicing action seems like it could just as easily be accomplished by using a thumb stick. And for those who've speculated that the protagonist could be Sunny in the past, well, it sure don't look like a woman to me. But either way you shake it, I'm really looking forward to this game when it comes out, so much so to where I've already pre-ordered it from Amazon. And let's not forget that Kojima has done action before and done it pretty well at that, so there's really no point in crying foul just yet.
I want to cut stuffPosted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by Mugen-sama
but I also want the stealth that made Metal Gear Solid so amazing in the 1st place,and let's not forget the driven storyline
If this is to work with Kinect/Natal.....Posted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by EvolvingTenken
then cue massive fail. I mean some of the biggest fail to ever grace interwebs. That type of fail.
geezPosted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by gravityman
I really hope there is still a sneaking element. I want to play a metal gear game, not a ninja gaiden clone. If the game retains metal gear stealth gameplay then I'll def. want this. Regardless, I'll probably buy it when it releases because of the words metal gear on the cover, but still, I'll be plenty pissed if I can't sneak around. There are enough action games on the market.
Zounds!Posted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by tristessa
That trailer looks great! As a big Raiden fan, I'm really looking forward to it. Ever since seeing him go sword crazy in MGS4 I've wished I could do that in a game. It can'r get here soon enough for me =)
Raiden...or....John?Posted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by strangejames85
If those crazy robots are in the game, that seems too advanced to be in the MGS4 time line. That looks like...oh....15-20 years into the future or so. I'm wondering if maybe we play as his son. He did do that stupid toy sword slash at the end of MGS4. A little foreshadowing, perhaps?
"What will you cut?"Posted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by Cutman2015
Looks like an awesome mechanic. They totally get how much people just want to dick around with it and cut everything for no reason.
Wait...Posted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by grilledcheese345
So Microsoft is going to use Metal Gear Solid (a franchise that has always been Sony's) to sell it's shitty motion-controller? Bullshit.
lolPosted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by WAFFLE-MAN
Always been Sony's? it's been on the Nintendo and xbox it doesn't belong to Sony kid.
Ha.Posted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by strangejames85
Yeah. Metal Gear came out about a decade before Sony even had a console. This is just like the Final Fantasy argument we are all so sick of.
MGS2: SubstancePosted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by halochief_90
Yeah, that game also came out on Xbox so even Metal Gear Solid hasn't always been Sony (let's not forget Twin Snakes either).
HmmPosted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by Fletcherhea
So these games stem from the old metal gear on the nes? The one you had the smokes and radio and whatnot, and had to get through the "maze" thing? I think I prefer the old solid snake with his smokes, than this fella with the high heels lol.
Gamecube too!Posted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by Shonuff27
Metal Gear Solid 1 was ported to Gamecube with enhanced graphics and given a subtitle Twin Snakes which all came from a conversation with Mayamoto and Kojima when Mayamoto asked Kojima if he could make a Metal Gear game for the Gamecube and Kojima said sure without a hesitating. Metal Gear belongs to Konami and they can put Metal Gear on any system they want, even the Wii. I don't really know where people get this idea that this is a Sony game. It's just that Playstation has always been Konamis platform of choice because the fanbase was heavy during PSONE and PS2 but now there is a paradime shift in its target audience.
what?Posted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by Anthony_Galindo
How do you figure that it'll have motion support?
Move.Posted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by strangejames85
Since they didn't show off any Natal/Kinect support, I imagine if there are any motion controls involved, we will probably see them shown off at Sony tomorrow. That slicing seemed way too percise for Kinect to be able to pull off, Move, on the other hand....
Best trailer of the xbox conferencePosted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by UnsungHero007
Not even a big Metal Gear fan but this got me really excited. The humor was nice too. I can't wait to cut me some water melons.
Might buy?Posted: Jun 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by Degu_Monsuta

Dr Pepper to Recycle 80% of Waste
Dr Pepper Snapple Group said it will recycle 80 percent of its solid waste as part of its set of five-year goals for improved environmental and social performance across the company's operations, according to its first CSR report.
Among the company's goals for the next five years are plans to improve energy efficiency in manufacturing operations by 10 percent per gallon of finished product above 2009 levels, increase product shipments per gallon of fuel used by 20 percent, replace 60,000 vending machines and coolers with Energy Star-rated equipment that is approximately 30 percent more energy efficient, reduce water usage and wastewater discharge ratio in manufacturing operations by 10 percent per gallon of finished product, and conserve more than 60 million pounds of PET plastic through package reengineering and increased use of post-consumer recycled material.
The company also said it is making logistics improvements that have so far yielded efficiencies that have reduced shipping distances to customers by up to 90 miles per load, and is exploring opportunities in hybrid and alternative fleet vehicles. The company will also begin monitoring fuel efficiency in its vehicle fleet beginning this year, it said in the report.
The company also plans to replace more than 60,000 older vending machines with new equipment by 2013, which will reduce energy consumption by more than 30 percent and result in $7.6 million in electricity cost savings for customers. According to the company, this savings represents the equivalent emissions of 9,000 cars.

The Cardinal Newman Society
January 16, 2008
Cardinal Calls for Faithful to Rally
in Rome in Support of Pope Benedict
CNS Urges Americans to Support Pope with Prayers on Sunday
MANASSAS, VA – The Cardinal Newman Society, a national organization that works to strengthen and renew Catholic higher education, is urging American Catholics to pray Sunday in solidarity with Pope Benedict XVI following offensive protests that forced him to cancel an address at Rome's La Sapienza University.
Cardinal Camillo Ruini, Vicar for the Diocese of Rome, has urged Catholics to rally in St. Peter's Square during Sunday's recitation of the Angelus as a powerful display of support for the Holy Father, whose visit to La Sapienza was canceled because of anti-Catholic protests and false accusations that the Pope is not supportive of scientific discovery.
"For American Catholics who cannot be in Rome, we urge special prayers on Sunday to demonstrate both our love for Pope Benedict and our steadfast confidence in the unity of faith and reason," said CNS president Patrick J. Reilly. "We hope that pastors will join us by including special prayers in Sunday's petitions and by teaching Catholics the truth about the Church's centuries-old dedication to science and higher education."
Pope Benedict will make a rare visit to the United States in April 2008 and has summoned all presidents of U.S. Catholic colleges to meet with him in Washington. For nearly 20 years the Vatican has been working to strengthen the Catholic identity of Catholic colleges, and the intensity of those efforts has increased in recent years. CNS has been supporting and promoting these Vatican initiatives in the United States for the past 15 years.
"In advance of the Holy Father's historic visit to the United States in April, we can draw upon this unfortunate incident as a valuable teaching moment for the Church and the secular world, which would seek truth without recognizing the Father and Creator, the fount of all truth," said Reilly.
The unity of faith and reason has been a lifetime interest of Pope Benedict XVI and his predecessor Pope John Paul II, both of whom had been university scholars with great appreciation for higher education. The noted philosopher Ralph McInerny has said, "It sometimes seems that the only voice insisting on the power of human reason is that of the Holy Father."
- "In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."

McKenzie on sevens duty then off to Chiefs
Relevant offers
Marty McKenzie will try to lead Southland to some sevens success this weekend in Rotorua before quickly turning his focus back to the 15s format as he attempts to revive his Super Rugby hopes.
McKenzie will be a key figure in the Southland team at this weekend's national provincial sevens tournament in Rotorua.
He has shown promise in the sevens format previously and when Blues coach Sir John Kirwan off-loaded him from his second year of his Super Rugby contract New Zealand sevens coach Gordon Tietjens came calling with a national sevens contract.
The original goal for McKenzie was to impress in Rotorua this weekend with the hope to push for a spot in the New Zealand sevens team for the World Series legs in Wellington and Las Vegas next month.
However, following the national provincial sevens tournament in Rotorua on Sunday, the 21-year-old will head to Hamilton to link with the Chiefs Super Rugby setup instead of heading to a national sevens trial camp in Mt Maunganui.
The Chiefs have some injury concerns in their fullback department, including McKenzie's cousin Robbie Robinson, who is a nursing a nasty hip injury which may rule him out for an extended period.
McKenzie has initially been called into the Chiefs for about a month but that could be extended depending on the prognosis of some of the injuries.
"It's all happened pretty suddenly, so I'll just go up there and put my head down and do what I'm told for a while and see where it takes me," he said yesterday.
"It's all sort of clashed. I can't be at the (sevens) trials for Wellington and Vegas starting next week in the Mount but those are the choices I had to make. I think with the 12 Titch has got there at the moment he is looking pretty strong, but if there is an injury, and he needs me, I'm available to go whenever he needs me. I'm kind of getting the best of both worlds at the moment."
McKenzie is hopeful Southland can have an impact at the national sevens tournament this weekend, which will start with a big game against one of the competition favourites, Auckland, tomorrow.
"I think getting Auckland first up might be a good thing, we might be able to trip them up early. I think that happened to them last year, you get them early in the comp, they've got a young team.
"If we play to our potential, and everything goes right, and we front up, I think we could take on any team at any stage of the day."
McKenzie concedes his team will be giving up quite a bit in size in Rotorua, but feels they still have enough to offer to be a strong prospect.
"We're probably lacking in size, but what we don't have in size we have got with players that have the ability to beat a player one-on-one, especially with the likes of Tayler Adams, Scott Eade and Bryan Milne."

We are Pi: Ideas United
The phrase "human brain" has never been more apt than in describing this simply stunning publicity shot created by We Are Pi for TEDxAmsterdam later this month. Taking the event's theme of "human nature," this brain is built using 48 dancers from The Dutch National Ballet and Nova Dance College, with input from iconic actor Rutger Hauer and a host of other Dutch creatives. The end result is funny, simple and massively effective – click through to watch the film and see some behind-the-scenes images.
Alex Bennett-Grant of We Are Pi said: "TEDx Amsterdam didn't come to us for an advertising campaign, they came to us with a brief to unite the nation over ideas worth doing. We decided to make every aspect of the project reflect that challenge, from the concept of making brains from humans, to the epic collaboration needed to pull it all off."

Energy Policy: The Environmental Protection Agency declines to have outside experts review its study claiming water contamination from fracking in Wyoming. Why confuse an analysis based on ideology with the facts?
As we noted in December 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency, under pressure from environmental groups, tried to manufacture a crisis in which hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, was said to have contaminated test wells in Pavillion, Wyo. Those claims and others made in the six-decade history of the technology's use have repeatedly proved groundless.
In 2011, the EPA released the non-peer reviewed report on Pavillion in which the agency publicly linked fracking and groundwater contamination for the first time. However, then-EPA administrator Lisa Jackson stated that there is "no proven case where the fracking process itself has affected water."
Indeed, the EPA has also found no link between fracking and groundwater contamination despite claims in Parker County, Texas, and Dimock, Pa., the latter of which became a battleground in environmentalists' campaign against fracking and was featured in the anti-fracking documentary "Gasland."
At the time, Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead called the study "scientifically questionable," an opinion buttressed by the facts and the EPA's announcement on Thursday that it will not produce a final report or have outside experts review its claims of environmental harm. It told its story two years ago and is sticking to it. The story is bogus.
First, the contamination was found in two "monitoring wells" drilled by EPA outside of town, not in water wells that actually supply residents their water. EPA use of "dense soda ash" to drill its monitoring wells into a hydrocarbon-bearing layer probably skewed the results.
According to the industry research group Energy in Depth, "dense soda ash has a recorded pH (11.5), very similar to the level found in the deep wells, creating the possibility that the high pH recorded by EPA could have been caused by the very chemicals it used to drill its own wells."
What the EPA report doesn't say is that the U.S. Geological Survey has detected organic chemicals in the well water in Pavillion for at least five decades, long before fracking was done. The deepwater wells that EPA drilled are situated near a natural gas reservoir.
Encana Corp., which owns more than 100 wells near Pavillion, says it didn't "put the natural gas at the bottom of the EPA's deep monitoring wells. Nature did."
The fact is the mixture used to fracture shale and extract oil and gas is a benign blend of 90% water, 9.5% sand and 0.5% chemicals such as the sodium chloride of table salt and the citric acid of the orange juice you had for breakfast.

The Wauwatosa Health Department plans to hold four more clinics to vaccinate residents against the H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu.
The next clinic is set for 3 to 6 p.m. Nov. 30 at City Hall. Assuming the city continues to receive vaccine shipments, clinics also will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. Dec. 8 and Dec. 15 and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 21.
The flu shots will be offered to the following population groups: pregnant women, health care workers who have direct contact with patients, all children ages 6 months to 18 years, people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months and adults 19 to 64 who have chronic medical conditions that put them at higher risk for flu-related complications.
Since late October, the Health Department has given 2,500 H1N1 vaccines.

Twittersphere reveals buyer found for Leefield
Relevant offers
A large Waihopai Valley property in receivership is believed to have found a buyer.
The property is known as Leefield.
A representative of Auckland-based KordaMentha, which is managing the Leefield receivership, said a sale was in progress but the terms and conditions were confidential.
The price would eventually become clear as part of the receivership process, they said.
Real estate company Harcourts Marlborough said on Twitter on Thursday: "Leefield sold for just under $20m, about 800 hectares that could be planted, Marlborough is humming."
However when contacted by the Express, agents said they did not know anything about the sale or who made the tweet.
Nearby landowner Linda Rold confirmed the property had been sold to a New Zealander.
She lives on a block subdivided off Leefield when her family sold the property to Auckland entrepreneur Greg Olliver in 2006.
She was confident details of the sale would be publicised when the deal was finalised.
"It's very good news," she said. "You couldn't hope for a better owner."
Real estate company Bayleys offered the property for sale by tender. They described it as an accumulation of 14 titles spread over 1900 hectares with nine dwellings. About 820ha was flat to easy country suitable for intensive farming and the balance led into hill country up to 680 metres above sea level.
The tender did not include a 175ha portion where Mr Olliver had planned to build the biggest private dam in New Zealand.
Hydroco, thought to be part of the Todd family portfolio, has resource consent to build a dam holding up to 18 million cubic metres of water.
The Todd family also owns Bankhouse on the opposite side of the Waihopai River.
In 2009 the Express reported that receivers took over Mr Olliver's Leefield Vineyards with millions owing to funders.
Fifth-generation farmer Paddy Dillon sold Leefield to Per and Linda Rold in 1998.

This year's Maccabiah has brought 9,000 athletes from across the globe to Israel
and with it, generations of athletes who have passed the torch to the future of
the Jewish nation.Many teams arrived with proud parents who themselves
had partaken in past Maccabiahs and returned to Israel to watch their children
participate in the various sports taking place around the country.After
moving to Israel in the late 1970's, Jeff Brown participated in the first
softball Maccabiah in 1981 on behalf of the Israeli team before returning to
America, where he currently lives in Los Angeles."We had put together a
softball team a few years earlier so when we heard that the sport was being
added to the Maccabiah list, all the teams in the area chose their top players
and we began practicing."Though his parents weren't able to attend, his
adoptive parents and friends from Kibbutz Mishmar HaEmek and his new community
in the city joined in the celebrations.Following in his father's
footsteps, Aren Brown joined the Israeli softball team after making aliya a few
years ago.His journey to Israel also began on a kibbutz and continued on
to the IDF.Though unlike his father, Aren said he does not plan on
returning to the United States and has made Israel his home."I love
where I am, and I love that I get to join in the Jewish and Israeli tradition
that connects us to each other and connects us to the country," said Aren right
before he ran off to start his game against Canada."I am excited that we
get to play people from all corners of the globe!" As the first pitch took place
and the crowd cheered, Jeff turned his head to say, "I was thrilled to hear that
my son would be playing in the Maccabiah, so that same day I booked a
ticket."I'm proud that my children have the same love and passion for
Israel that I had and still hold within me, my son with the Maccabiah and his
bright future here in Israel and my daughter who also made aliya a few years ago
and now works closely with Taglit Birthright and hopes to better the country for
all its citizens."In a different area of the country closer to
Jerusalem, another proud father has made his journey back to Israel after 36
years."I played in the soccer Maccabiah in 1977," said Sam Arsht
excitedly, "and [I] am extremely proud that my son will share in the same
experience and similar feelings that I had. It's special that he has the
opportunity to feel connected to his homeland and Judaism."The Arsht
family has come to Israel from San Diego as a part of a Maccabiah mission which
takes families of the players for day-tours in between games.He has come
along with his wife, Denise, who is in Israel for the first time, and his
82-year-old mother, Judy, who hasn't been back to the country since
1985.Sam continued by saying that "although my youngest son isn't here
with us, as he is looking forward to his own Birthright trip with friends, it is
special for us to be here together. Israel is so different than what I remember
and we are thrilled to rediscover it."His older son, Alec, attended
Taglit Birthright last summer and expressed his excitement for the games as well
as his hope win the gold in the soccer tournament with Team USA."I had
the most amazing experience last year and knew I had to get back here, so when I
got an invitation to try out for the Maccabiah I couldn't refuse. I am
thankful to be back, and hope to come again and again."

Trackmania DS
US: Mar 2009
What a new player to Trackmania DS will notice right off the bat is that the very feel of a single Trackmania race is actually quite different than any other racing game out there. For one thing, most racing games make sure that a single race takes at least a minute; if a lap takes less than a minute, multiple laps will show up, and the player usually gets something close to a two-minute race. This games sticks to one lap, which in some cases can last less than 20 seconds.
You can pick up the game, boot up the DS, hit start, race, and shut it back down again in under a minute, making this an ideal bus ride game (or doctor's waiting room game, or standing at your locker between classes game). Some racers have stories, some racers aim for pure speed, but no racing game out there focuses on the art of building the perfect track like Trackmania.

Government securities' mkt gets a boost
November 3, 2006
Gilt edged The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has done well to increase the ceiling for foreign institutional investor (FII) investment in government securities. The earlier limit of $2 billion was way out of line with ground realities and needed to be revised. Indeed where the bank can be faulted, perhaps, is in being unduly conservative while on the job. More so since past records show FIIs are unlikely to rush into gilts. Indeed their holding of gilts at $188.

Morgan White wanted to win a state title this season. He lost in the CIAC Class S tournament finals the previous two seasons. This was his senior year. It was now or never.
White fell short of his goal in his opportunity, losing in the Class S semifinals. But he was OK with it.
"I thought it was going to be a lot more (tough)," said White, who just graduated from Old Lyme High School.
"My college assistant coach, Torr Terranova (of the University of Hartford), he came to watch me. He said (after the loss), 'Think about it today and tomorrow, and then Sunday forget about it. And then Monday, look at what you could have done.' I was like, 'OK.' And then I thought that was cool. Think about it one day, then forget about it, and then look at what you can learn from it so it's not dragging on. Move on."
Losing was a rarity this season for White, The Day's 2013 All-Area Boys' Tennis Player of the Year. He won his third straight Shoreline Conference singles championship.
The Old Lyme Booster Club also gave him the Career Achievement Award.
"Morgan has been a thorn in our side for four years," Old Saybrook coach Larry Chapman said with a laugh. "We beat them this year for the first time in a long time (White missed the first meeting due to injury). Every time we'd lose to them, it would be like a 4-3 loss, and we'd never win when Morgan was playing.
"What makes him so tough is that he is so mentally tough. When he's losing is when he plays his best game. You can never count him out."
A state title was the one thing missing from White's resume. He and Conor Fallon reached the Class S doubles final his freshman year and lost 7-5, 7-6 (9). He moved on to singles his sophomore year and lost the state final to Griswold's Brandon Roode. He lost last season to Granby's Chandler Libby.
White was seeded second in this year's tournament. He won his first three matches in straight sets, and all but one set was 6-0.
Sixth-seeded Ferdinand Gelbrich of Housatonic Regional from Falls Village knocked White out in the semifinals. The German student won 6-3, 6-2. Gelbrich then beat top-seeded Libby, 7-5, 6-4, to win the title.
"Trying to win states definitely was a huge goal for me," White said. "Even though I didn't quite make it, I made some new friends going there.
"When I lost to (Gelbrich) in the semifinals, there was still that feeling of, 'I just lost. I can't win states anymore.' But still, I was happy for him. He was a great kid. He's a great player all-around, and a nice person off and on the court. I saw him at the Open. He ended up making it to the final and almost beat Bradley Orban (from Foran of Milford), who's crazy good.
"That's life, and I just have to look on and look forward to the University of Hartford and playing tennis there for four years. I'm excited about it."
White continues to heed Terranova's advice as he's thought about what he needs to improve on before joining the Hawks.
"My strokes right now, they're a little sloppy," White said. "My serve, I have to work on. My volleys. Definitely my net game. One of the things I'm working on is my offense. (I run cross country), so I'm really fast out there on the court. So I mostly played a defensive game. And then when I'm out there playing offense, yes, I can get to the balls, but I also have to have an offensive (game).
"I've been working on stepping into the ball, not really trying to go for the winners, but hitting the defensive shots. And then, when I get that chance, stepping up and hitting the winner."
