Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Hands-on (PS3)Written by: / / No Comments
- platform: PS3
- genre: Action/Adventure
- developer: Platinum Games
- publisher: Konami
I've seen and heard a lot about Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance but I always knew that I'd have to sample the game for myself before I could ascertain how it compared to the main Metal Gear Solid series and Platinum Games' previous titles such as Bayonetta and Vanquish.
Thankfully I got a chance to do just that this past weekend by playing through the demo that was included with the Zone of the Enders HD Collection. This inclusion took me back in time twelve years when the hotly anticipated demo for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was bundled with the original Zone of the Enders on PlayStation 2.
I played the MGR: Revengeance demo on PlayStation 3 and tried to keep in mind that I was playing code that was over two months' old. Despite the age of the code, the two levels that are included in the sample felt surprisingly complete and I didn't notice any obvious bugs or technical issues.
The demo kicks off at what I assume to be the beginning of the game when you're greeted with a wall of text explaining that MGR: Revengeance takes place four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4 and that Raiden lost an arm and an eye during a battle with one of the operatives from the PMC (Privatized Military Company) Desperado Enterprises. Raiden's body is thus heavily augmented and his cyborg status allows him to perform a crucial role for a PMC called Maverick Enterprises.
Your first task is getting to grips with the game's controls during a tutorial stage. You'll learn how to go into precision mode by pressing L1 so you can target specific areas of an enemy's body with your blade. Later in the tutorial level there are cardboard cut-outs of soldiers holding hostages, so trying to slice the former without injuring the latter will test how adept you are at using the right analogue stick to control the angle of your blade when in precision mode while adjusting the direction Raiden is facing with the left stick.
Once you're done with the tutorial mode you're strapped to a rocket (this is Platinum Games after all) and 'fired' at a coastal city where Raiden's first objective lies. After landing on the shore it immediately becomes apparent that the game plays and feels very different from a traditional Metal Gear title due to Raiden's swift, fluid actions and ability to jump to higher surfaces. Many of the objects in the landing area can be sliced and diced, including certain trees, metal structures, barrels and cars. One of the more interesting moments occurred when I cut through a barrel vertically and had to run into it for the two parts of the barrel to separate.
The level layout in MGR: Revengeance appears to be fairly structured based on this opening area. There are invisible walls preventing you from going off the beaten path, and these walls press in even tighter during combat. This is not necessarily a bad thing as it allows the background artists to pack plenty of environmental detail into each level, such as foliage-covered dunes in the distance. The game's textures may not be as crisp as they are in MGS4 but this allows MGR: Revengeance to run at a silky smooth 60 frames per second that reduces controller latency and makes Raiden's frenzied sword swipes during combat all the more exhilarating.
Speaking of combat, the rest of the demo essentially revolves around making your way through the city streets as you encounter PMC troops that don't take too kindly to your presence in their territory. These consist of cyborg soldiers and the bipedal Gekko units first seen in MGS4. You can dispatch them with a few swipes of your katana, and when their health is low enough you're able to slice them up using precision mode. Combat is very fast-paced as was the case in previous titles by Platinum Games, and interestingly Raiden can pick up sub-weapons such as grenades and rocket launchers that can be used in conjunction with his sword by holding down L2. There are also lots of combo attacks and special moves that I'm still trying to wrap my head around, such as sprinting towards an enemy and sliding between their legs – providing you with the opportunity to go into precision mode and attack them from a novel vantage point.
The demo ends with a boss battle between Raiden and a wolf-like robot called LQ-84i that has a massive chainsaw attached to its tail. This encounter requires you to parry by pressing forward and square at the correct moment in order to open up a brief window to launch a counterattack. LQ-84i calls in some cyborg reinforcements a couple of times during the battle which allows you to recover your health by grabbing their electrolyte-rich spines or picking up Repair Units which they drop when they die.
It's worth mentioning that you can call your Maverick Enterprises contacts for tips during tough battles or at any time during gameplay to learn more about the events and people around which the game revolves. I was pleasantly surprised by just how many optional Codec conversations there are during the demo as this kind of obsessive attention to narrative detail wasn't something I was expecting from an action title developed by Platinum Games.
My impressions of the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance demo were ultimately very positive and I can't wait to invest a substantial amount of time exploring everything the full game has to offer. This could very well be Platinum Games' best offering yet, especially given the rich source material that lies behind the company's latest title. The gameplay in MGR: Revengeance feels fresh and exhilarating, and the story seems impressively well-developed based on what I saw in the demo. While the game's characters and script seem a little flat compared to the best Metal Gear Solid titles, the action is undeniably brilliant and is perfectly pitched at both casual and expert players.

Below is the poem entitled The hooker and the gentleman which was written by poet

Read Poems by
Dino Spahillari
In one of those nights
under a corner light
he picked her up for a ride
she smelled cheap cologne
he smelled acqua di gio
they stopped by the bridge
how much,he asked
two hundred she said
here is my credit card
that's all i got
are you kidding me you fat bastard
where is my money
you cheap mthfckr
get out of my car
he yelled
or i'm gonna call the cops
and took off
he went home
where wife and two kids
were waiting at the table
for supper
he kissed everyone
he sat
said a quick prayer
told them how tiring is
to be a provider
"it takes pride
and honesty" he said
and went straight to bed
happy that again
he had a good day...
There is no hollywood ending
in this little tale
while the poor hooker
is sitting still there
under the corner light
waiting for her pimp
that will show up
to collect the money
and they're not enough
it is what it is
it's not wrong or right...

Natural Selection 2 HD Wallpaper SetMay 13, 2013 Wallpapers 1 comment
Pixels are addictive. There are never enough. More definition, higher resolution, greater pixel density. But what to do with all those high-resolution...
Whether you play as one of the elite marine Frontiersmen or the vicious alien Kharaa, you must use unique strategies and your abilities to win. Marines buy weaponry and form persistent squads to find and destroy alien hives. Aliens can choose a wall-running Skulk, pudgy Gorge, flying Lerk, murderous Fade or gigantic Onos that can devour enemies whole.
Real-time Strategy
New strategy gameplay allows players to Command from overhead. Build structures anywhere, collect resources and research upgrades. The marines can build phase gates, sentry turrets and siege cannons to assault the enemy. Aliens can build upgrade chambers, evolve special abilities, lay eggs and plant traps.
Dynamic Environments
Levels change as you play. Spreading alien infestation deforms hallways and causes space station power failure, halting all lifts. Destroying a catwalk's supports causes it to fall, revealing a new route. Use a flamethrower to clear infestation, spin webs to block a passage or weld a bulkhead shut for a last defense. Every game is different.
Unlimited Variations
Flexible game rules and scripting allow you to create your own unique scenarios like "Colonist Rescue", "Alien vs. Alien" or anything else you can dream up. Free automatic updates keep the game fresh by adding new levels and abilities.

Something must be in the air at Unknown Worlds. Not only are we announcing new games, we've also started hitting deadlines! We promised you Eclipse at the end of 2013, and with 11 days to spare we are proud to announce that is has been released!
Eleven years ago, Eclipse was one of the original Natural Selection battlefields. Tight corridors, multiple Hive spawns, iconic rooms, Eclipse was one of the greatest maps ever made for the original Half-Life mod.
Now, we can all return to Eclipse. Painstakingly recreated, the map is faithful to the original while allowing for the evolution of Natural Selection 2 gameplay. By taking advantage of Spark's modern rendering techniques and UWE's art resources, the mapping team has been able to remake every corner of Eclipse in exquisite detail.
The team that built Eclipse was led by Jake 'Jonacrab' Smith. Under the artistic direction of Cory, Jake drew together work from mappers Oliver 'Dux' Hobbs, Michael 'Olmy' Schouten, Andrew 'Insane' Jones, Marc 'Sgt Barlow' Newton, and art from Sergey, Dmitry, Yuri and others from Fox3D.
Eclipse is included as part of Build 262, which was just released on Steam. Build 262 is free for all existing players of Natural Selection 2, and includes a bunch of other improvements to the game. Here is the full change log:
Pixels are addictive. There are never enough. More definition, higher resolution, greater pixel density. But what to do with all those high-resolution...
Here is a mapping alpha to provide mappers with an idea of the basic movement and to enable them to build to allow for Jump pads etc. Things are still...
Here is the release of v1.6 of GorgeCraft. Updating for compatibility with NS2 build 220 Beta.
This is the release of GorgeCraft Version 1.5.3. A few optimisations and other features added, updated for latest NS2 build.
This is an update to provide compatibility with version 217 of NS2 Beta.
This is a big release, quickly put together after our very successful playtest. Expect some big updates to the map pg_lunacy in the near future, for now...
I really wish they would have a sale or some kind of coupon to make this game a bit cheaper. I would love to purchase it, but 35 is kinda much for an indie game. I'm not saying it isn't worth it, I'm just saying some kind of sale or deal would really help those, like me, on a budget.
Totally agree.
35$ is so much, even for the finished product they've promised.
20$ would be a far better price tag.
I'm not normally one to jump to a developers defence but having bought the game for 35 USD I have to say I think it's completely justified.
Even as a beta the game feels easily good enough to justify the extra cost. If big studios expect us to pay over the odds for half finished games which are effectively the same why can't Indie developers ask us to pay less for something new and exciting?
A sale would be nice but lets remember folks Indie developers aren't exactly renowned for being cash rich. They need every penny they can get most the time ;)
How do I get this game? Do I need to buy it?
You can pre order it on steam
i didn't find it :(
SERIOUS 196 bug found: Marines cannot build power nodes. Might be a server bug, but it happened on two servers I visited tonight. Please fix this ASAP, it is almost a game-breaker for marine team. Thank you.
OMG THIS IS LIKE TREMULOUS! ( but no grangers XD) Love this :D I need to buy for my friends now :3
This came before Tremulous, though both took their inspiration from Gloom.
I was going to pre-order this game,
but when I asked around on some fan forums about female models among other things, I encountered an extreme amount of sexism, and was even warned off by a friend who currently plays the beta, that the game is very 'female' unfriendly and extremely competitive.
Is this true? I may very well avoid this game if this is the case. I've rarely encountered a game with such a bad rep and absurd amount of trolling that's being suggested here..
lol there are plenty of games with plenty of trolls plz don't get upset over the internet. xD
Yeah, I'd recommend staying away. Female models don't make sense due to it being Marines is all. At least in the current U.S Army, female soldiers are never sent on combat missions, merely on defensive ones. That's just the way of the world current. I think a female marine model would look incredibly weird and out of place in Natural Selection.
I haven't seen anyone bashing females in the game, or on the forums...and if you haven't encounted a game with such bad rep and trolling, you must not play alot of games. This barely has any...compared to something like WoW, or Call of Duty, or Halo, ect, or heck, Counter-Strike. Those are far worse.
I'd say pre-order it if you want a fun game to play(but wait for a sale, or something, 35$ is far to much!), but don't expect there to ever be female models.
And all females in games will always get some flak from fellow players. Just how it goes.
I'll have you know they did make one. Don't know if it's in game though as I never looked before. I'm sure it will be though if it isn't.
You should pm the Devs they will have more info. They are very friendly and accommodating to their fans. Their whole model is based around fan communication.
I disagree that gamers are sexist, most people online will be as big an arsehole as possible reguardless of age, sex or race. No reason to single females out.
But my main disagreement is with the idea that a game doesn't have a female character it's sexist. The complaint wouldn't work if reversed. If I said "There are no playible guys in tomb raider. Therefore it's sexist against men." I'd rightly be laughed at for making such a rediculous argument.

Robert H. Dee
Year of Graduation:
Year Inducted:
Dee was a four-year letterwinner for the Crusader football team. He began his career as a defensive end and later ended up playing both ways. He "caught" a controversial pass against Syracuse which could have resulted in a 26-20 HC win in 1952, but officials ruled it incomplete. A year later, as a junior, Dee was the defensive star of the game against Dartmouth at Lynn's Manning Bowl in the first college game ever televised in New England. Dee finished his Crusader career with 42 receptions for 414 yards and five TD's. He led the 1954 team in receiving with 25 catches. After graduation he played 10 years of pro ball -- eight of those with the Boston Patriots. He was selected to four Pro Bowls. He died in 1979.

Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities are heavily subsidized by taxpayers, so state politicians have been reluctant to allow those institutions to reduce tuition for out-of-state students.
Traditionally, tuition at those institutions has been 150 percent to 250 percent higher for out-of-state students than for state residents.
But economics and demographics have rendered that policy obsolete. The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Board of Governors is on the mark in approving a flexible tuition policy meant to attract, rather than discourage out-of-state students.
Many factors have coalesced to make the decision the best one for the system and the taxpayers who support it.

Final Stats
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – After dropping the morning match 3-0 (9-25, 23-25, 16-25) to Austin Peay, the Lamar volleyball team returned to form as three Lady Cards hit double figures in kills in a 3-1 (25-23, 25-16, 10-25, 25-15) win over ETSU in the afternoon on Saturday.
The difference between the two matches could not be better exemplified than in the play of Sierra Whittaker, who tallied eight kills to 11 attack errors in the loss to APSU only to return in the afternoon with a match-high 16 kills and four service aces vs. the Bucs.
Despite Whittaker's numbers, the focal point of the Lady Card offense was the middle, as has been the case in recent weeks. Cortney Moore put together her best match of the season offensively, tallying a career-best 15 kills and hitting at a blistering .520 rate. Krell also hit double figures from the middle, totaling 10 kills and hitting .318.
Alex Morford, who racked up just 11 assists against the Lady Govs (4-9), dished out 39 helpers in vs. ETSU (8-4), guiding the LU offense to a .291 attack percentage.
Megan Schwartz, who missed the APSU match, picked up a match-best 15 digs vs. ETSU, and Erika Rojas hit double digits in both matches, recording 23 for the day.
Against ETSU, the Lady Cards (8-6) held on late in the opening set for a 25-23 victory, thanks in part to seven kills on eight swings by Moore, helping the Lady Cards out-hit ETSU .462 to .314.
LU kept it going in set two with a 25-16 win, but the Bucs came out of the break on fire, hitting .464 to put away the Lady Cards for a 25-10 victory.
The Lady Cards returned to form in the fourth as they hit .375 and never trailed en route to a 25-15 decision.
Lamar will continue its road swing next week with a pair of road games in Louisiana to open Southland Conference play.

ELKIN - The Buckin' Elks kicked off their title run in a big way Monday night.
Top-seeded Elkin routed No. 8 Ashe County 66-48 in the opening round of the Mountain Valley Conference tournament to secure a berth in the semifinals Wednesday.
The Elks will meet rival Starmount in the semis Wednesday for the third time this season with a trip to the title game on the line.
"We started slow. We didn't rebound the ball well in the first half. Our intensity level in the first half was awful," head coach Kenneth Abrams explained. "So we talked about it at halftime and picked it up in the third quarter. We rebounded and played some good defense and got most of our points off layups because we picked up our intensity level.
"We just can't do that with everybody we play. We have to put them away early and get them off our back. If we don't, we already know what's going to happen - we got bit earlier in the year," he added. "It was a good team effort, I was proud of them. It was a good battle. We did a lot of things well in the second half."
Elkin started slow against the Huskies Monday and only lead 11-9 after one.
After Ashe tied the game at 13-13 early in the second, the Elks began to slowly pull away. Elkin scored 13 of the final 17 points of the half to take a 26-17 edge into the locker room.
Abrams kept up the intensity, screaming at the team to "pick it up" to open the second half. The Elks responded, reeling off another big run to push their lead out to 41-23.
"We never looked back when we came out in third quarter and took a big lead. We started playing end-to-end, instead of playing on one end," Abrams said.
Elkin continued its strong second half in the fourth, pouring in 21 points in the frame to breeze past the pesky Huskies 66-48 to punch its ticket into the semifinals.
Four Elks finished in double-figures in a dominant scoring night, led by Sam Lane's 19 points. Trey King finished with 13, while Kody King added a dozen. Chris Hudspeth tacked on 11 points with Frank Miller adding eight.
"When you're running under control, that's going to happen," Abrams said. "We ran under control all night, we just didn't finish. If we would have finished our shots, the score would have been worse, and I wasn't trying to run the score up. We were beating them down the floor."
Elkin advances to the semifinals against bitter foe Starmount Wednesday night at East Wilkes High School.
The Elks swept the two regular-season meetings, but battled to escape with a 66-63 victory in the last meeting on Trey King's thrilling buzzer-beating three as the Elkin student section rushed the court.
"We're playing for the next championship, but we're playing for the next game first," Abrams added.
Expect more fireworks Wednesday. Tip off is set for 8:00 p.m.

Over the past four decades, Wilson has earned an international reputation for his research, writing, and insight on all manner of political, social, economic, and criminological issues. The twelve books (which include The Moral Sense (1993), Bureaucracy: What Governments Do and Why They Do It (1991), and Crime and Human Nature: The Definitive Study of the Causes of Crime (1985)) he has authored or co-authored have helped shape public policy on juvenile delinquency, drugs, penology, and government regulation of business. His service on national commissions includes membership on the Attorney General's Task Force on Violent Crime (1981) and the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (1985-1990), and chairmanship of the White House Task Force on Crime (1966) and National Advisory Commission on Drug Abuse Prevention (1972-73).
To Wilson, character and the conditions under which it may develop has always been a primary civic concern, and a matter that should be of paramount importance not only to social scientists, but also to legislators, teachers, and leaders in local, state, and national government. In his Athenaeum address, he will talk about recent developments in character-related programs welfare, education, and crime and about what may account for such trends as the recent decline in felony violence within the U.S. at a time when other industrial democracies have seen marked increases.
Professor Wilson appears as this year's Ricardo J. Quinones Distinguished Lecturer. Established in honor of the founding director of the Family of Benjamin Z. Gould Center for Humanistic Studies, the Quinones Lectureship brings to the Athenaeum some of the world's preeminent intellectuals, writers, and public figures. Professor Wilson's talk is co-sponsored by the Gould Center and the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World.

Did you read this recent New York Times article about St. Simons? America's Ryder Cup Captain and three of the 12 players on this year's team live on the island. So – while you are here for your Georgia beach wedding, send the guys off for their own type of "spa day" at the King and Prince Golf Course where Matt Kuchar is an honorary member. With four holes that venture out onto the salt water marsh and an eagle's nest on hole #14, the course is not only challenging but a perfect introduction to the natural beauty that permeates St. Simons Island. So blow off a little steam at the King and Prince Golf Course, located only 12 miles away from the hotel. It's a nice change of pace for the pre-wedding activities. And don't leave the bridesmaids out; the girls may want to join in too!

The Latest Thing in WeddingsFriday, September 28th, 2012
What's the latest trend in weddings? The oldest things in the world: simplicity, family, and friends. Gone are the days when bride and groom spent their wedding day isolated from others, like figures on a wedding cake. Regardless of their potential to spend, couples today are looking to connect with others rather than trying to impress them.
And, of course, the perfect venue for elegance and simplicity is a Georgia beach wedding at the King and Prince Resort. There you can spend hours overlooking the Atlantic, or explore the community that is the island itself. You're not in a faceless "all-inclusive" golden cage, but rather surrounded by history and interests at all levels, from sports to history to spa.
If I had it to do all over again, I'd be here. Hmmmmm maybe 25th anniversary coming up? Save the date……………
Set the StageMonday, September 10th, 2012
Looking for the perfect destination wedding venue? Create a little of your own history at the King and Prince. Gorgeous blue stained glass windows frame the ocean view in the resort's Delegal Room. The room, named for the first British fortification on the south end of the island, sets the stage for an elegant reception or welcome brunch. Each window bursts with light, depicting St. Simons scenes: St. Simons Lighthouse, the Battle of Bloody Marsh, Christ Church, the beach, the King and Prince……..Or, for a more casual spin, create a treasure hunt for guests: first one to visit each historic sight wins a prize (maybe a return trip?).

And the perfect backdrop for your colorful event? The King and Prince bathed in lovely Honey Gold set against an Olympian Blue sky with a sprinkling of Bright Chartreuse in the palms.

Destination Weddings at The King and PrinceThursday, August 23rd, 2012
Plan your St. Simons Island wedding at the King and Prince Resort, and begin your own love affair with this place that will call you home time and time again. Talk to visitors and you'll hear the mantra, steady as the sea breezes playing on the coast: "I've been coming here for years," "My parents honeymooned here and now it's my turn," "We came as wedding guests and stayed on for the rest of the week…"
If this beach in Georgia sounds just peachy to you, come back here for a visit as we explore the history and charm not only of the resort, but also of its surroundings, cuisine, local characters, outdoor activities, and of course, shopping opportunities.
Warmest regards – Nancy
Flip Flop Friendly WeddingThursday, November 3rd, 2011
Nothing says "beach" like flip flops, so why not let your guests get comfy and slip on a pair? Baskets of flip flops around the dance floor is fun and unexpected! Then, send them home with some fun and funky flip flop favors so they will remember that awesome wedding by the sea!
Gift Basket Ideas for Your Destination Wedding at the King and PrinceMonday, May 23rd, 2011
Since you won't be able to greet all your guests personally upon arrival, a welcome bag (or peach basket on St. Simons Island, GEORGIA) is a great way to touch base with them right away. Here are a few suggestions on what to include.
(1) A Welcome Letter. Tell your guests how happy you are that they've made the trip with a short and sweet note. For simplicity's sake, use your computer to type and print the letters, but sign each on in ink for a personal touch.
(2) A Detailed Schedule. List all of the weekend's events, including any optional ones. Be sure to mention any extra costs for activities such as tours, lessons, sports activities, and so on.
(3) Key Contact Information. Tell your guests how to reach the people you've designated as go-to contacts. Don't include your contact info — most people won't feel comfortable bothering you, and you'll have enough on your mind already.
(4) Map of the Area. The resort and the island have a lot to offer. Make sure your guests make the most of their trip.
(5) Info on Local Transportation. The trolley schedule and the phone numbers of local taxi companies will help your guests get around when they're on their own.
(6) List of Local Restaurants. Include restaurant descriptions, locations, phone numbers, and price info along with a selection of menus from places that deliver.
(7) Local Entertainment Guide. Pick up the latest copy of Elegant Island Living and High Tide Guide for guests to be in the know.
(8) Thematic Snacks. A taste of locally made food and drink will introduce your guests to the destination's delicacies and help them avoid raiding the minibar. Try to include both savory and sweet things to satisfy different cravings. And since your guests are on vacation too, it's nice to greet them with a celebratory drink — a bottle of wine or a beautifully labeled bottle of lemonade.
(9) Destination Essentials. Anticipate little things your guests will appreciate having at the King and Prince: sunscreen and a pair of flip-flops or a visor at the beach; a sweet-smelling bug repellent for the golf course; a token to pay putt-putt down at The Pier. And no matter where you are, disposable cameras and bottled water are always welcome.

Is Adrian Fenty a jerk?: An inquiry
- Perhaps the mayor is pondering the question of the season. (Photo: Jay Westcott)
In a Washington Post piece on Mayor Adrian Fenty last month, columnist Robert McCartney showcased a knack for euphemism: "Fenty is in trouble because he is widely seen as a self-absorbed autocrat who is unresponsive to citizens."
Other commentators have opted for greater word economy when assessing the mayor. Back in February, Petula Dvorak, a colleague of McCartney's, accused Fenty of "acting like a jerk." Washington Post reporter Mike DeBonis, then writing in the Washington City Paper, called "Fenty the Jerk" the "leitmotif" of D.C. politics in 2009. That same publication issued a midsummer cover story titled "Is Adrian Fenty a Jerk?" It's an aspersion that gets tossed around a fair amount on the street as well.
The jerk parade draws its inspiration from a whole file of Fenty incidents, including some in which he shunned the press; others in which he shunned regular folks; and yet others where he shunned famous people. Pile on that the general Fenty approach to governance — i.e., get it done fast, don't worry about ruffling feathers — and a firm narrative begins to take root.
It's a narrative that gives fits to the Facts Machine. The Facts Machine, as its name might suggest, doesn't enjoy character evaluations. It subsists on hard data, like budget figures, committee votes, affidavits, departmental investigations, IG findings, and executive summaries.
Notwithstanding its specialty in empirical stuff, the Facts Machine feels obligated to evaluate the widespread contention that Adrian Fenty is a jerk. That's because it's an issue on which this mayoral campaign, now in its final gasp, pivots. This conventional wisdom needs a patdown, and the Facts Machine proposes to accomplish it by infusing this most unscientific of terms with a bit of rigor.
To determine whether Fenty is a jerk, the Facts Machine is defining "jerk" in the following way:
"A person regarded as disagreeable, contemptible, etc., esp. as the result of foolish or mean behavior."
That definition comes to us from Webster's New World College Dictionary Fourth Edition. The fact that we're even discussing this shows that Fenty is "regarded as disagreeable [and] contemptible." So let's just consider that part done.
All that's left is to determine if the mayor engages in "foolish or mean behavior." That evaluation starts with the most fundamental question relating to a public official: accessibility.
We contacted more than 50 advocacy, business or nonprofit groups in the District, and we eventually talked extensively with about 20 of them about their ability to meet with the mayor. Only a few described meeting the mayor on a regular basis, and many seemed frustrated in their efforts to get an audience. The groups generally fell into three categories:
• Those who were able to meet with lower-level administrators
Groups who were content with simply meeting with one of the mayor's aides were able to do so.
"We just don't have to go to that level," said Emily Durso, the president of the Hotel Association of Washington, D.C. "We are able to deal with the agencies if we need them. He hasn't heard from us and we haven't asked."
This arrangement was less acceptable to other groups. Barbara Lang, the president of the D.C. Chamber of Commerce, is supporting Gray in this year's mayor race.
"I've never met with the mayor since he's been mayor," Lang said. "I have met with, certainly, his top lieutenants, the deputy mayor for economic development, the city administrator and several other directors ... I do think that we have something that we can offer and give him some feedback from right here on the ground."
• Those who can never meet with the mayor
Once you have made the mayor's enemies list, getting a meeting with him is a pipe dream. Take the District's unions, which have slammed the mayor for laying off school teachers, privatizing the city's day care system and overhauling taxi fares.
"The word 'organized labor,' to the mayor, is a curse word," said John L. Rayner, the president of Ironworkers Local Union No. 5.
Among the groups that said the mayor regularly refuses to meet with them or ignores them: the Metropolitan Washington Council of the AFL-CIO, the American Federation of Government Employees Local 2741, and the Fraternal Order of Police. Unions were split between supporting Fenty and supporting then-D.C. Council Chairman Linda Cropp in 2006, and many feel betrayed by the mayor.
"Getting a meeting with the mayor and city administrators is impossible. That's it. There's nothing much to say," said Ben Butler, the president of AFGE Local 2741. "He is the most arrogant individual I've ever met."
Activist groups fall into this category as well. ONE DC's executive director said the mayor treats the group as a "nuisance." DC Jobs with Justice and Empower DC had similar experiences. Marina Streznewski of the DC Jobs Council compared getting a meeting with Fenty to seeking a meeting with the Wizard of Oz.
• Those who protested outside the mayor's house and earned a meeting with him
Eric Sheptock, homeless activist, has twice helped lead protests that ended up on the mayor's front lawn. And twice, the mayor has agreed to meet with Sheptock and other homeless men.
"That's kind of stupid," Sheptock said. "He's encouraging people to go to his house."
Sheptock certainly thinks so.
It is common in the Judeo-Christian tradition to wear dark colors when attending a memorial or funeral event. It is common in the traditions of American urban politics for politicians to show up to the funerals of people who perish in public tragedies. It is common courtesy to show up on time for previously scheduled events.
In the aftermath of the tragic Metro crash last year, Fenty behaved quite uncommonly in his failure to consistently do any of the above.
And the mayor isn't above getting into petty squabbles. From stonewalling information about trips abroad to refusing to meet with civil rights icons to not equitably distributing baseball tickets, the mayor has shown a talent for generating negative headlines that simple steps could have avoided.
The mayor has matured over the last four years. During an interview with Mark Plotkin on WTOP's The Politics Program Friday, Fenty had a simple answer when Plotkin asked him if he would refuse to hand out baseball tickets a second time: "No." Then why'd you do it the first time? "Because people make mistakes."
Indeed, a fool wouldn't learn from his mistakes. Fenty, who has been on his Apology Tour Extravaganza©, says he's learned from them. But unless he gets a second term, there's no way to know for certain.
Perhaps the best argument against the mayor being a fool are the results he's gotten. A fool couldn't have led the police department to its lowest murder rate in 40 years, and he couldn't have managed the construction of new parks and schools across the city. So it's not that surprising how supporters of the mayor respond when they're asked if the mayor's a jerk.
"I think the most important thing is how he's governed the city," said Bill Lightfoot, the mayor's campaign chairman.
Well, he certainly isn't nice. Even his wife acknowledges Fenty is socially awkward, and he's more likely to be typing on one of his three Blackberries than making small talk. And blowing up at employees isn't particularly classy. But Fenty campaign spokesman Sean Madigan insists his boss can be a great guy to work for, pointing out that he'll single out low-level staffers for praise at press conferences.
"When people work hard, he recognizes that," Madigan said. "I'll say, he's probably the hardest charging boss I've ever had by a mile and he expects us to keep the pace and I think taxpayers are better off."
The mayor has also been able to keep his cool when constantly being reminded that a significant portion of his constituents seem to hate everything about him. In the past year, he's been booed at a high school graduation, a celebration of the life of Martin Luther King Jr., and at various straw polls and forums across the city. He was heckled at the funeral service for go-go legend Lil' Benny.
Fenty can (at least publicly) keep his emotions in check, even when every else seems to have lost control of theirs.
Fenty's personal persona is different from who he is as mayor. But what matters to voters is how he acts in office. Yes, Fenty can be a nice guy to his friends and family. But nice mayors don't blow off meeting requests, they don't make people feel unappreciated — if anything they should become experts in the opposite.
Fenty says he'll change if elected to a second term and has appeared to be sincerely contrite about his actions and attitude during this term. However, we're not judging him on how he will act, only on how he has already behaved. That's why we'll we find that the Fenty-as-jerk narrative is Mostly On Point.
At this point, even Adrian Fenty seems inclined to agree with us.

Report: Chinese conducted unannounced 'inspections' of Bloomberg News bureaus
The Bloomberg-in-China saga continues, via Fortune:
In what appears to be a conspicuous show of displeasure, Chinese authorities conducted unannounced "inspections" at Bloomberg News bureaus in Beijing and Shanghai in the final days of November, Fortune has learned. The visits followed media reports that Bloomberg cancelled a year-long investigation on financial ties between a Chinese billionaire and government officials. Bloomberg's decision to cancel the article was apparently intended to avoid antagonizing the Chinese government…. Instead of soothing the government, Winkler's reported comment appears to have stirred anger. During the visits, Fortune is told, at least one Chinese official asked the company for an apology from Winkler.
(Also on POLITICO: Hayden calls China's move 'dangerous and dumb')

MOLINE – The Illinois Department of Transportation officially denied large amounts of funds to an I-74 project Monday.
"I drove it last night coming home from work," U.S. representative Bobby Schilling said. "It's actually kind of scary."
The project there now would not start until at least 2019. But the savings allow for minor projects across the area to begin, like one at John Deere Road.
"I think that's a good idea," one local told News 8 about a construction project at John Deere road.
Illinois will be widening the road to make things less congested.
"It's already good with four lanes," one local told News 8. "It will be even better with six."
There's currently construction at 53rd Street and John Deere Road, but soon there will be much more construction all across the street. Even if that will cause many backups in the process, some think it's worth the wait.
"I think they need it," one driver told News 8. "There's a lot of congestion here."
Construction on John Deere Road will go from 16th Street to 70th Street. The project starts in 2013 but won't finish until 2018.

Within the courtroom, its been pretty much Apple that has started legal proceedings around the world, but Samsung is hitting back in their own way. As a major supplier of parts for Apple products, Samsung is in a strategic position to hit Apple where it counts by cutting off supplies that the Cupertino company needs to manufacture its popular gadgets.
Samsung started this trend last month when we first heard that the Korean company would no longer be supplying Apple with LCD displays. This was big news because Samsung is the number one supplier of display screens to Apple and this contract termination meant that Apple had to source new displays for their iPad tablets and other products. Now, Samsung is severing even more ties with Apple as they have indicated that they will no longer supply Apple with batteries for their Macbook and iPad line of products. In doing so, once again, Apple will need to source new suppliers and this time, they have called upon both Tianjin Lishen Battery and Amperex Technology Limited, both of whom must now make up the shortfall. This change comes shortly after the recent rumour that Samsung had also increased prices on Apple processors by 20 percent.

In After Effects CS5 Essential Training, author Chad Perkins discusses the basic tools, effects, and need-to-know techniques in Adobe After Effects CS5, the professional standard for motion graphics, compositing, and visual effects for video. The course provides an overview of the entire workflow, from import to export, as well as detailed coverage of each stage, including animating text and artwork, adding effects to compositions, working in 3D, and rendering and compressing footage. Exercise files are included with the course.
Adobe Flash is still a very popular animation tool. It's a little challenging to use and so a lot of people are looking at the ease of After Effects and wanting that same ease-of-use in Flash. And lately, they have been updating Flash a lot, so that there are more After Effects features in Flash, but for my money at least it's way easier to animate in After Effects and a lot of people feel the same way. So, there are a lot of great features when you're trying to work with Flash. Number one, if I add this comp to the Render Queue and go to the Output Module, we could change the format to F4V or FLV.
FLV is traditionally like the video format associated with Flash. Lately, they have come out with F4V, which is kind of like an updated version of FLV. And because it's more recent and updated, it's not as compatible with as many browsers. So, it's not quite as popular and it's taken a while to catch on, but it is again more optimal. So, you can export to a Flash video from this dropdown. Also, if you go to the File menu, as we have talked about before, if you go to Export, you can create a SWF directly here from After Effects and this is ideal for exporting things like text that will remain vector as they go output to SWF.
And actually, if you're interested in learning more about this topic, I created probably like an hour long video training series on lynda.com about going from After Effects to Flash integration and how to create an optimal SWF file from here in After Effects. A somewhat new file format is XFL and that allows you to actually export your After Effects project as a Flash project. If you choose to export your project as an XFL file, it will almost be like After Effects is trying to create an FLA out of the AEP, out of the After Effects Project file.
So, when working with Flash and After Effects, you really have several options. You have the Flash video, you have a SWF, and you actually can create a Flash project from After Effects as well.
