In short, Dungeon Defenders follows the formula of the ever-growing tower defense genre to the letter. What sets it apart is the fact that it gets damned near everything exactly right.
In short, Dungeon Defenders follows the formula of the ever-growing tower defense genre to the letter. What sets it apart is the fact that it gets damned near everything exactly right.
The tower defense formula is pretty simple. Study the map, create an impenetrable maze of death-dealing defenses, and await the enemy onslaught. Dungeon Defenders opts for the more active approach, in which players control a character, as opposed to simply placing towers from an omniscient perspective.
My favorite class is probably the Huntress, who can lay down traps like the exploding proximity mine and the electrifying ethereal spike. She can also turn invisible, which is very handy for assassinating enemy mages that can heal and revive their allies. Meanwhile, the Squire focuses on barrier defenses and dealing heavy attack damage, the Mage drops magically infused elemental turrets, and the Monk summons auras that debuff enemies or empower his allies.
Each class has its own specialty and difficulty curve, with the character selection screen even going so far as to rate each class from "Novice" to "Master." The ratings aren't to be taken lightly, either. The Huntress and Monk in particular will take quite a bit of upgrading before they are formidable enough to take on many missions.
As a result, the Huntress' explosive traps may begin as small, almost disposable distractions, but they soon become massive, screen-filling bringers of death, capable of felling dozens of enemies in a single blast. In concert with the defensive measures of each class, they combine to create a grisly Rube Goldberg machine of devastation.
That brings me to the greatest strength of Dungeon Defenders: multiplayer. In lieu of a dry explanation of modes, how about a word picture? Imagine an encroaching horde of hundreds of goblins and orcs, and now imagine that all of them are are exploding, impaled, electrocuted or on fire -- in many cases simultaneously -- all thanks to a meticulous setup of proximity mines, inferno traps, bouncer blockades and lightning turrets. And I haven't even touched on the Squire's whirling blade trap (which we affectionately refer to as "Mr. Spinny"), essentially a steel-bladed ceiling fan conveniently located at neck height. The (very sharp) point is that crafting an immaculate defense with friends is some of the most fun you can have online.
Unfortunately, that serves to highlight one of the only flaws in Dungeon Defenders, namely its single-player offering. It's clear that Dungeon Defenders was designed from the ground up to be a multiplayer experience, and frankly many of the game's later missions seem impossible to finish while using a single class. In fairness, players are allowed to switch classes at any time during a mission, meaning it's possible to utilize the defenses of every class even when playing alone. But there are a number of things that make it difficult.
Second, while one can switch classes to set up different defenses between rounds, it requires a lot of extra leg work to do so. This includes running to the forge (where classes can be switched), dropping mana for your new class to buy defenses, running around the map to build said defenses, switching back to whichever class you prefer to fight with (don't forget to drop your mana first!) and finally starting the next attack wave.
Now, if you want to replay levels multiple times in order to level each class, apply individual upgrades (from a shared currency pool) and spend oodles of extra time on each mission, you certainly can. Personally, I'd rather stick with a favorite class and have a specific responsibility. Fortunately, that's not too difficult, as it's easy to find or host an online match that allows players (other than the host) to drop in or out at any time.
Recent reviews
And that's probably the best summation of Dungeon Defenders: a great (virtual) place to hang out with your friends. Some specially tailored single-player missions would be nice, but I certainly can't fault developer Trendy Entertainment for a lack of content. There are scads of loot to collect and thirteen missions to try out, each playable in several different ways. Beyond normal mode, each map can be played in survival or "Pure Strategy," a mode that disables melee combat and only allows players to place towers. Each map also offers a unique challenge mission, like protecting an NPC Ogre ally or completing a mission without using any towers. Oh, and each challenge mission rewards players with (yet more) unique loot. And if you get tired of that, there's always PVP.
If you can wrangle up a few friends on the couch or online, Dungeon Defenders will handily scratch that co-op itch (and burn it, electrocute it, slice it, etc).
If you're still waiting for the punchline:
This review is based on The Xbox Live Arcade version of Dungeon Defenders, provided by Trendy Entertainment. Dungeon Defenders is available on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC for $15.
Joystiq's review scores are based on a scale of whether the game in question is worth your time -- a five-star being a definitive "yes," and a one-star being a definitive "no." Read here for more information on our ratings guidelines.

With recent high-level data breaches, and the introduction by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) of the Personal Data Privacy and Security Act of 2014, some are hopeful a federal breach notification statute is on the horizon. There is one issue, however, raised by Leahy's bill that "deserves considerable debate," writes Andrew Proia, of Indiana University's Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research and Maurer School of Law. "In addition to creating the federal breach notification law, Section 102 of Leahy's bill would open the door to criminal liability for anyone who 'intentionally and willfully' conceals the fact of a security breach," he writes for Privacy Perspectives, adding, "it would be wise for the information privacy and security community to think critically about whether the bill's criminal statute would be a prudent addition."

Winnipeg's largest downtown music festival takes over the town this June with performances from Esperanza Spalding, Buddy Guy, Mavis Staples, Charles Bradley, Dave Holland and much more!
An exciting lineup of artists is set for the 2015 TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival. From June 11¬-21, the festival will take over Winnipeg's Exchange District with performances from top local, national and international artists. The Grammy¬ winning new face of jazz previews her upcoming release: Esperanza Spalding presents Emily's D+Evolution. Blues legend Buddy Guy and The Screaming Eagle Of Soul, Charles Bradley round out the headliners of this year's festival.
The Theatre Series, which primarily takes place at the Manitoba Theatre Centre and The Burton Cummings Theatre,¬ also features headlining performances by soul trailblazer Mavis Staples, piano great Kenny Barron, Blue Note Records' Otis Brown III, and a very special World Premiere ensemble performance from legendary jazz chameleon Dave Holland, Chris Potter, Lionel Loueke and Eric Harland. There are also Theatre Series concerts by New York's inimitable pianist Fred Hersch and The Christine Jensen Jazz Orchestra, featuring her sister and noted trumpeter Ingrid Jensen.
Supporting Christine is Toronto's Robi Botos (featuring Seamus Blake and former Winnipegger Terreon Gully).
"We've struck a great balance of modern and traditional jazz, legends and up-¬and¬comers, accented by forward¬-thinking artists from the broader music landscape," Executive Producer Paul Nolin describes this year's lineup. "There's something for everyone."
Jazz Winnipeg is thrilled to once again have TD Bank Group as title sponsor of the Festival. A generous community partner since 2003, TD Bank Group has broadened its commitment to this vital cultural event and helped Jazz Winnipeg to secure its place as an artistic leader in Winnipeg.
All of the festival venues are within a three¬ block radius of Old Market Square, making it easier than ever for club¬-hopping festival ¬goers to experience more music. Dubbed The Jazz District, the six club venues (Union Sound Hall, the King's Head Pub, the Winnipeg Free Press News Café, Maw's Beer Hall, Cinematheque and Cube Lounge) feature a diverse showcase of local and touring artists.
Union Sound Hall has charged onto Winnipeg's scene to become its hottest nightspot. Some of today's coolest acts will take to its stage, including NYC producer/soundscaper Son Lux, otherworldly pop songstress Zola Jesus, noise¬poppers Deerhoof, acclaimed songwriter and string arranger Owen Pallett, and Tuxedo (the hot new collaboration of Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One).
Maw's Beer Hall, the Winnipeg Free Press News Café, and Cinematheque will feature sets by some of Winnipeg's top singers and instrumentalists, as well as nationally and internationally established artists like Otis Brown III, Jimmy Greene and Little Miss Higgins.
The King's Head Pub will once again feature a powerhouse blues lineup, including Juno¬winner Steve Hill, the legendary Duke Robillard, and MonkeyJunk. Back again as the hub of the Jazz District is The Cube Lounge, presented by Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries. Taking place over the second weekend of the festival, Old Market Square will be transformed into an open¬air lounge, complete with cabaret¬style seating directly in front of The Cube stage. Audiences can enjoy a drink in a relaxed urban setting while enjoying free concerts by Toronto's Alex Pangman and Her Alleycats, The Big dig! Band, Sunny Roseland, and more.
As always, the festival kicks off with four free days of free music in Old Market Square. Thousands of music fans are expected in the Exchange District for Opening Weekend, June 11¬14. Thursday night in the park features jazz and funk; Fridayhighlights Latin jazz; Saturday features Winnipeg's most popular indie rockers plus Edmonton's buzziest party band The Wet Secrets; and Sunday bounces with hip¬hop allstars The Lytics.
The very popular weekday lunch hour free concert series features free concerts in Old Market Square from June 12¬19 with outstanding artists such as The Heavyweights Brass Band, Gypsophilia and fauxpasfunk.
This year the TD Jazz Labs take place at new venue Platform Gallery. Sponsored by TD Bank Group and supported by Manitoba Music and Canadian Heritage, these free workshops are led by festival artists and cover a wide range of musical perspectives. Starting with a session led by pianist Fred Hersch, the series moves through a range of styles from Otis Brown III, Duke Robillard Robo Botos, Steve Hill and members of MonkeyJunk.

Lily, Whale Research/Rescue Safari
In October of 2013 we welcomed our third catamaran to our fleet of most unique whale watching boats. At 62 feet in length she is our largest boat. Captain Dave named the boat Lily, in honor of a gray whale that became entangled in a fishing net and stranded herself in Dana Point Harbor in 2010. Learn more about the rescue of Lily, the gray whale.
Lily, Whale Research/Rescue Safari is a 49-passenger luxury power catamaran with state-of-the-art research and rescue equipment. You'll enjoy dolphin and whale watching in luxury with a beautifully appointed cabin, climate-controlled pilothouse, shaded upper sundeck, and spacious bow, all with cushioned seating, as well as a fully equipped galley. The sundeck and bow both feature rails enclosed with Lexan® glass for wind protection. You can see dolphins underwater with our underwater bow camera. A life-size common dolphin, micro-museum of whale and dolphin artifacts, and stunning photographic art throughout the boat immerse you in the world of dolphins and whales. And Mrs. Capt. Dave's famous triple fudge brownies are served as a special treat!
* Please note that Lily is not equipped with Eye-to-Eye Underwater Viewing Pods. That feature is only available on "Manute'a". *
Lily was featured on a live broadcast of Good Day LA when Mar Yvette joined us for an incredible morning of dolphin watching and whale watching!
Regular Dolphin and Whale Watching Prices
2 and 1/2 hour Dolphin and Whale Watching "Signature Safari"

A realistic, life size, common dolphin and stunning photographic art throughout the boat immerse passengers in the world of dolphins and whales.
Currently there is very little information known about whales and dolphins off Orange County. How often do individual whales and pods of dolphin frequent the same spots in our area? Do calves return to same spot? These questions and many more we will help answer as we build our cetacean ID catalog. With our large database of information we will also provide a history of individual animals as we encounter them, further enhancing the dolphin and whale watching experience.

• Professional camera with GPS receiver to track and record the animals.
• Photo identification catalog software.
• Steerable pole-mounted underwater camera capable of high resolution video with on board monitor.
• Micro museum with whale and dolphin artifacts.
Lily Whale Research/Rescue Safari is completely equipped to respond at a moment's notice to a whale in distress, though Lily will only be used for observation when passengers are on board for safety reasons. She can host and feed an entire rescue team and stay with the whale for days until the whale is successfully disentangled. Whale and dolphin entanglement in fishing gear is a world wide problem nearly 1,000 dolphins and whales are estimated to die every day because of entanglement.
Special Rescue Equipment and Accessories:
• Underwater remote operated vehicle (ROV) enabling rescue team to completely assess the whale's condition and nature of the entanglement.
• State-of-the-art whale disentanglement equipment including custom pole knives, flying jam knives, helmets buoys, and lines.

Bogota, Jun 20 (EFE).- At least 39,058 people were kidnapped over a period of 40 years in Colombia, or an average of nearly 1,000 cases per year, according to a report released Thursday in Bogota.
The document said abductions occurred nationwide between 1970-2010, with cases reported in 1,006 of Colombia's 1,102 municipalities.
The study was conducted by the National Center for Historical Memory and consulting and research firm Cifras & Conceptos, which documented 39,058 kidnapping victims.
According to the report, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, the Andean nation's largest guerrilla insurgency, was confirmed as being responsible for 37 percent of the kidnappings.
The FARC is currently engaged in peace talks in Havana with President Juan Manuel Santos' government.
A smaller rebel organization, the Army of National Liberation, or ELN, accounted for 30 percent of the total, followed by criminal gangs (20 percent), others (9 percent) and paramilitary groups (4 percent).
Interior Minister Fernando Carrillo, who was on hand for the presentation of the report, said it was the "most important database on this crime in Colombia" because it focused on the victims and took a psychosocial approach.
Carrillo said kidnapping reached its pinnacle between 1995 and 2004, when guerrillas used it to pressure the authorities and as a means of funding their operations, and was an element in the "degradation" of Colombia's decades-old armed conflict.
A total of 84 percent of the abductions were for economic ends, while 12 percent were politically motivated and 4 percent were carried out for other reasons.
In preparing the study, the researchers compiled data from officials sources such as the National Police, the now-defunct DAS security service, the Attorney General's Office and the courts, as well as from press reports and other publications.
In most of the kidnapping incidents (59 percent), the victims spent between one and 30 days in captivity, while in 9 percent of the cases the ordeal lasted more than one year.
People working in public administration and defense were most affected by this crime, accounting for 19.3 percent of all the victims.
Police or soldiers, whom the FARC and ELN describe as prisoners of war, made up half of the total held captive from that sector.

Can I set up a way for posts to appear on different pages?
I'm looking for a solution which will allow one of my users to post some posts to our blog, and others to a different page on the website.
It doesn't have to utilise the Posting system, but my user is pretty much a luddite and cannot structure pages efficiently using html and the "write page" system.
At the moment I'm using the "Inline Posts" plugin which is great, but it means that all of the posts appear on the blog page, and I select the relevant posts for the extra page, causing duplication, which is not so good.
Any help appreciated.

How lovely! I really like the details in her hair. You did an awesome job, she looks really pretty!
Fantastic work. The only thing I would say is that her nose looks a tad small for her face and the hair would look phenomenal with a little bit extra shading. Other than that, superb
Beatiful work

Editor's UPDATE: Katie Pavlich has filed a report on documents TOWNHALL obtained regarding the breaking Obama campaign's foreign donor scandal.
Since last week, the news sphere has been buzzing about the possibility of an Obama campaign foreign donor scandal being the big October surprise of 2012. Since the Washington Examiner first reported the story last week, many are asking how the Obama campaign will handle foreign donation allegations expected to go public Monday in a major magazine and national website story. The Obama campaign has already tried to block the story from publication and although the details of the scandal are still under wraps, we do know taxes and unsecured credit card transactions are about to cause a major headache for the Obama campaign.
Just yesterday, we received news the Obama campaign raised a whopping $181 million in September alone, pulling the question of foreign donations even closer to the surface and putting Obama closer than ever to reaching a $1 billion fundraising number.
U.S. President Barack Obama's campaign and the Democratic Party have raised $181 million in September for his re-election effort - their highest monthly total yet of the 2012 presidential race.
The president's campaign said Saturday that the money represents donations from more than 1.8 million people.
Stay tuned.....the story could come as early as Sunday night, rather than Monday morning as originally planned.
Katie Pavlich is the Editor at Townhall.com. Follow her on Twitter @katiepavlich. She is a New York Times Best Selling author. Her latest book Assault and Flattery: The Truth About the Left and Their War on Women, was published on July 8, 2014.

Thousands of people suffer serious side effects and injuries from taking prescription drugs annually.
When your doctor prescribes a drug, it's only normal for you to assume it is safe. You should know that the US Food and Drug Administration classifies "safe" to mean the benefits of the prescription drug outweigh the risks for the population the drug is intended to treat and for its intended use. However, a safe drug doesn't necessarily mean it is harmless or it can't harm you.
A defective drug means that its potential risks outweigh its possible benefits to the consumer and can lead to bad drug lawsuits.
If you or a loved one have suffered from injuries or death caused by a prescription drug, you may be entitled to a cash settlement. Bad drug injury claim is here to help you connect with a bad drug attorney that handles pharmaceutical litigation. Submit your information using the free case evaluation form to have a lawyer whom specializes in claims against drug companies contact you right away. It's fast, free and confidential. There are no hidden fees or obligations.

If you or a loved one suffered harmful side effects or died from taking a prescription drug or over the counter medication, you may be entitled to compensation! Complete our quick 2 minute free case evaluation form.

Mental models and social representations of hazards:the significance of identity processes
Breakwell, G. M., 2001. Mental models and social representations of hazards:the significance of identity processes. Journal of Risk Research, 4 (4), pp. 341-351.
Related documents:This repository does not currently have the full-text of this item.
You may be able to access a copy if URLs are provided below.
This article examines the social influence processes that underpin the development of individual mental models of hazards and analyses the role that identity processes play in determining the nature and plasticity of the representations of risk that an individual will employ. It outlines the nature of the mental models approach (Morgan, Fischhoff, Bostrom and Atman, in press) to developing interventions in risk communication. It describes how social representations theory (Moscovici, 1988) can be used to account for the genesis and maintenance of a mental model of a hazard. In doing so, it is argued that mental models of hazards are social constructions, serving identifiable social purposes for the subculture in which they are elaborated, and that they are generally shared by the members of that subculture. However, within a group or subculture, there will be some individual variation in access to and use of a mental model of a hazard. It is suggested here that these variations are largely predictable on the basis of identity processes (Breakwell, in press). The implications of this analysis for risk communication strategies is explored.

The taste is so bad that I had to mix it with Chlorella Manna in order to be able to finish the bottle. A Note to Canadian Customers: if you choose DHL EXPRESS International shipping option, you will have to pay $14 to DHL for paying your taxes for you.

ABSTRACT: The electromagnetic vibration damper consists of a stator including many phases (24 for the model, 16 for the real-size machine) and a solid smooth rotor. The drive device provides four-quadrant operation for each phase. The authors present the experimental validation of the 5 kN model machine, with its electronic power drive. A complete computational model is described and validated. The study is then applied to the design of a real-size 120 kN machine

Rod Mitchell, of Browne Trading in Portland, Maine, suppliers to America's best chefs, on what you should (and shouldn't) bring home.
1."The best way to buy a fish is when it's whole: Because if the eyes are clear, not cloudy, and the gills are bright red, and not brown, you've spotted a fish that was recently caught and stored properly."
2."When you're buying fillets, look for those that are firm to the touch and have an iridescent sheen, not a dull look, to them. Ask your fishmonger to let you sniff them — they should smell clean, not fishy."
3."Shellfish should be alive. Oysters should be closed, and clams and mussels closed or partly opened — the shell should close when you tap it. Ask for the tag, which is required by law — it will show the date of harvest."

Check our best-buy table for the cheapest energy supplier
Need help finding life cover? Let us guide you through it
Credit card calculator - find out how much you could save
Protect yourself from unexpected excess costs
Commercial energy - compare rates tailored for business needs
Sales of new cars hit a 10-year high in 2014 according to trade body Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, and the trend looks set to continue this year.
So, if you're one of the many people buying a new car - or even if you've got your eye on a secondhand motor - here's what you should consider when it comes to finance.
If you have someone that can lend you the money – either free of interest or at a very low rate – then this will be the cheapest option.
However, plenty of friendships have been destroyed and family rifts created over money so please bear that in mind.
More than half of car buyers - 52% - will use their savings to buy a car, according to the AA Car Purchase Index.
When you consider that even the best cash ISA accounts are only paying out pretty miserly amounts you won't be missing out a great deal.
Also, while it's good to have a rainy day fund, the cost of repaying a loan is almost certain to be more than savings interest you'll receive.
If you can get a credit card with a decent interest-free period on new purchases then this might be worth considering.
Obviously this will depend on whether the issuer grants you enough of a limit.
At the end of the term you can either clear the debt or switch it to another card.
One in five borrowers use their personal loans to buy a car according to the AA.
There are very competitive interest rates available, with rates for loans between £7,500 and £15,000 the lowest they've been for more than a decade, according to Nerys Lewis, head of loans at Confused.com.
"The lowest rate available for a loan of £7,500 over five years is 3.7% APR and is available from Sainsbury's," she says.
Strangely, you can sometimes be better off borrowing more than you need. For example, loans below £7,500 have higher APRs than the ones above, so check different amounts to make sure you're getting the best deal for you.
Every dealer will have some form of finance deals available and some may offer zero per cent deals.
Other options include hire purchase, which involves paying a deposit – usually around 10% – and then repaying the balance, plus interest, over the loan period.
You won't own the car until the last payment has been made, points out Ian Crowder of AA Cars.
"If you miss a payment the finance company can also reclaim the car," he says.
"Interest rates are quite high but if you pay up to the end the car is yours and, in the process, you will have earned yourself brownie points for your credit record."
Then there are personal contract purchases (PCPs), which are particularly suitable for those changing their cars every few years.
You pay a deposit – around 10% – and low-monthly instalments over a fixed period, but defer a lump sum until the end of the contract.
At the end of the term you have the choice of paying back this lump sum, handing the car back, or selling it privately to clear the outstanding balance.
You will, however, need to maintain the car well and stick to the agreed mileage.

Hafiz Saeed at a rally in Lahore, Pakistan
The US has offered a $10m (£6.2m) bounty for Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, the founder of Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba [LeT].
Saeed now heads the Jamaat-ud-Dawa group, widely seen as a front for LeT - which is blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks in India.
A $2m bounty was also announced on Abdul Rehman Makki, Saeed's brother-in-law and co-founder of Lashkar.
Both Jamaat-ud-Dawa and Lashkar-e-Taiba are blacklisted by the US.
The US announced the award for their capture or information leading to their capture, officials said.
The three-day rampage in November 2008 by 10 gunmen in Mumbai left 165 people dead. Nine of the attackers were also killed.
India blamed the Mumbai attacks on LeT, and India-Pakistan ties hit rock bottom.
The sole surviving gunman, Pakistani national Mohammad Ajmal Amir Qasab, was captured and sentenced to death by a court. His appeal is pending.
Saeed figures prominently on a list of "most wanted" given to Pakistan by India. Jamaat-ud-Dawa denies it operates as a front for militancy.
He was held after the Mumbai attacks but released without charge.
The US State Department's Rewards for Justice website describes Saeed as "a Pakistani citizen" with "red hair" and "brown eyes".
"Hafiz Mohammad Saeed is a former professor of Arabic and engineering, as well as the founding member of Jamaat-ud-Dawa, a radical Deobandi Islamist organisation dedicated to installing Islamist rule over parts of India and Pakistan, and its military branch, Lashkar-e-Taiba," the website says.
India welcomed the announcement of the reward.
"It reflects the commitment of India and the United States to bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai terrorist attack to justice and continuing efforts to combat terrorism," the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.
"It also sends a strong signal to LeT as also its members and patrons that the international community remains united in combating terrorism," it added.
Interpol has issued an arrest notice against Saeed for his role in the Mumbai attacks and the US has designated LeT and Jamaat-ud-Dawa as "Foreign Terrorist Organisations".
Cables released by Wikileaks in December 2010 attributed to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Hafiz Saeed and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, head of Lashkar-e-Taiba, "continue to run" LeT "despite being detained for their role" in the Mumbai attacks.
The message alleged that Mr Lakhvi and Saeed "planned, directed and executed" the group's attacks in South Asia.
Correspondents say Saeed continues to operate in Pakistan, making anti-India speeches and even participating in anti-US rallies in February.

Price War Still Punishing AMD
(AMD - Get Report) shares slumped to fresh 52-week lows on Monday, after the chipmaker warned the Street that it was unlikely to hit its first-quarter sales expectations. The warning, AMD's second in a row, is the latest sign of stress as AMD and Intel (INTC - Get Report) continue to wage a fierce price war that has taken a toll on each company's financials and stock price.Shares of AMD were down 41 cents, or 2.9%, to $13.75 in recent trading Monday. In a statement Monday morning, AMD warned the Street that it was unlikely to meet its first-quarter revenue estimate of $1.6 billion to $1.7 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial were looking for AMD to report $1.66 billion in sales with a loss of 25 cents a share. CEO Hector Ruiz is slated to provide more details on the miss at a presentation at the Morgan Stanley Technology conference Monday. Of key interest to investors will be how AMD's gross margins are faring in the current quarter, as well as the average selling prices for its various types of microprocessors. Last quarter, AMD reported a $574 million loss on charges from its acquisition of graphics chipmaker ATI. Particularly worrisome to investors was theAdvanced Micro Devices
surprise drop in AMD's gross margins to 40%
, despite management's contention a few weeks earlier that the company was on track for 50% margins in 2007.

Assassin's Creed, as a franchise, has had massive ups and downs over the last decade. From the ambitious first release back in 2007 to this year's Assassin's Creed Syndicate, we've seen nine different mainline releases that vary wildly in both setting and overall quality. Last year's Assassin's Creed Unity was a low point for the series, so it's important that Ubisoft nails this year's game to get everything back on track.
According to sources, Rocksteady and WB Interactive were fully aware of the problems in Arkham Knight — and knew for months.
Nvidia's latest graphics driver delivers a new type of antialiasing in modern games — Multi-Frame Anti-Aliasing, or MFAA. Does it help Assassin's Creed Unity's frame rate?
Assassin's Creed Unity is being dogged by reports of low performance on PCs. We go under the hood, investigate GameWorks-specific performance, and look at the overall engine to see if this is indeed a shoddy PC port.
Clearly, something is not quite right with Assassin's Creed Unity — but rather than talk about Ubisoft's disgusting 12-hour delay on reviews, or what appears to be a shoddy PC port, we're going to focus on something rather interesting: The Xbox One version of Unity runs at a higher frame rate, and feels more responsive, than on the PS4. Given that the PS4 has a considerably beefier GPU, and should generally be capable of higher resolutions and frame rates than the Xbox One, this is a puzzling finding to say the least. What's going on?
After an absurd 12-hour gap between the release of Assassin's Creed Unity and the end of the review embargo, one thing is clear: this game is a hot mess. By all accounts, this game was half-baked, and Ubisoft pushed it on consumers anyway.
A new in-engine gameplay video seems to confirm that Assassin's Creed Unity is really, really pretty. Oh, and bad news if you have a Radeon: The game has certain graphics features that will only be available on Nvidia graphics cards.
Ubisoft has announced the minimum requirements for the PC version of Assassin's Creed Unity — and, well, they're a little bit puzzling to say the least. At a bare minimum, the new Assassin's Creed game will require an Nvidia GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD 7970. The recommended specs take that up to a Core i7-3770 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a top-of-the-line GTX 780 or Radeon R9 290X. The minimum PC specs are about twice the processing power present in the Xbox One. What on earth is going on?
Ubisoft is releasing Assassin's Creed Unity on the Xbox One and PS4 later this year, but it might not be the next-gen experience you've been hoping for. A Ubisoft representative caused an internet uproar earlier this week when he explained that the game is currently limited to 900p at 30 fps on both consoles, leading many to believe that the PS4 edition is being intentionally hobbled for the sake of platform parity.
If you take a look at the charts on any given app store, you'll find that games are consistently featured among the top-selling apps. With that in mind, it's no surprise that Apple, Google, and Amazon are working with developers to either secure platform exclusivity or offer exclusive content for a number of major titles.
The folks over at Respawn Entertainment are ramping up for a large-scale beta of Titanfall this week, and the excitement is palpable across the internet. In many ways, this game will serve as the Xbox One's first major release, and could potentially close the sales gap with the PS4. Unfortunately, the Xbox One's hardware limitations mean that the visuals aren't quite as next-gen as we'd like. The beta is confirmed to be running natively at 792p, and it seems unlikely that the final version of the game will be capable of running natively at 1080p on Microsoft's console.

New Information Below
This picture will remain Wolf Timbers signature picture.
Wolf Timbers moves on...little by little...
E. LeAnne Bush, prior to her passing away, had named Wolf Timbers in her will as a beneficiary in her estate. According to her will, Wolf Timbers is to receive the benefit of her home.
On September 15, 2014, there will be a hearing in court to decide if Wolf Timbers is to receive any benefit of the estate of E. LeAnne Bush. The Executrix of the estate is asking the courts opinion on how to satisfy the debts of the estate and how they should be paid, in which order and whom is to receive the remaining benefit. Wolf Timbers is requesting "Letters of support" from our followers that wish to see the corporation continue on as Ms. Bush would have wanted.
We are asking that you mail these letters of support to us at our address (PO Box 107, Bolivar, Ohio 44612).
This process has been lengthy and time consuming for us and all involved. We are reaching an endpoint however. The case is in the final chapters in probate court. Depending on the final ruling, we are preparing to move on and acquire additional pups. This will occur, at the earliest, in 2015.
Before that can happen, we are looking into part-time staffing options, acquiring new volunteers, sending volunteers to Wolf Park for advanced training, updating the facility, obtaining AZA or ZAA accreditation and other important happenings.
Please check back often.
Wolf Timbers is still very much alive. Currently we do not have any wolves. Prior to E. LEANNE BUSH's passing, she had made a donation to Wolf Timbers. At the present time, the estate is still in the probate process. Once this become final, we shall continue on with the mission and vision of Wolf Timbers.
Our priorities include updating the facility, obtaining the necessary accreditation to comply with Ohio's "Wild and Dangerous Animals" legislation and staffing issues. Then, we shall begin the process of obtaining wolf pups.
If you need to get a hold of us, please e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Saratoga Springs and Shenendehowa waged a battle for the girls Class AA team title at Friday's Section II Cross Country Championships at Saratoga Spa State Park.
When the dust had settled, Saratoga managed to get its first five runners in the top 10 to defeat Shen 27-31.
Keelin Hollowood won the individual title with a time of 17:13.12, more than 12 seconds ahead of runner-up Lizzie Predmore of Shen. Nicole Irving finished third for the Plainsmen with a time of 17:31.98, while Saratoga's Amanda Borroughs placed fourth with a time of 17:34.81.
Cassandra Goutos (sixth place, 17:37.10), Sydney King (seventh, 17:48.13) and Madison Carr (ninth, 17:58.40) rounded out Saratoga's top five.
Predmore and Irving qualified as individuals for next weekend's state meet in Plattsburgh, along with Shen's Cara Janeczko (eighth, 17:54.97) and Alex Burtnick (13th, 18:22.58), as well as Columbia's Kaylee Scott (10th, 18:12.28).
It was also a close battle on the boys' side, as Shen edged Shaker 59-63 for the Class AA team title.
Shen's Dan Harris led the pack by winning the individual title in a time of 15:16.68. Ian Dorset (ninth, 15:43.48) was next for the Plainsmen, followed by Mitch Todorov (12th, 15:55.00), Sam Kimmey (15th, 15:58.59) and Mark Unter (22nd, 16:16.88).
Shaker's top five runners were more closely packed than Shen's top five runners, but the Blue Bison were shuffled between eighth and 18th place by a group of talented runners from Colonie, Saratoga Springs, Ballston Spa and LaSalle. Mike Libruk (eighth, 15:39.97) led Shaker.
The five individual qualifiers for Sectionals are Saratoga's Sam Place (second, 15:22.76) and Kyle Wegner (fourth, 15:26.54); Colonie's Erich Voelker (third, 15:25.87); Ballston Spa's Max Groves (fifth, 15:30.02); and LaSalle's Denis Hurley (sixth, 15:33.41), a Delmar resident.

DescriptionBeggar Prince (Xin Qigai Wangzi) is a Chinese-made RPG loosely based on the famous novel by Mark Twain, Prince and the Pauper. A young prince is bored with the life in the palace, and one day manages to go outside the gate, distracting the guards. In the town he meets a young boy who looks very similar to him. The prince offers him to switch their clothes, because he wants to spend the day as an ordinary boy. But when he comes back to the palace, the guards don't recognize him in his beggar's clothes and refuse to let him in. A new life, full of danger and adventures, begins for the young prince...
The game is conceived in the tradition of Japanese RPGs. You navigate the prince on the world map and around towns, fighting random enemies and descending into dungeons. The battles are turn-based and are viewed from an isometric perspective. You can attack physically or use a variety of magic spells, classified in types. In the beginning of you turn you have a full SP bar; each action reduces it, and when it is depleted, your turn ends. You can for example heal, cast magic, and physically attack different enemies during the same turn. Your enemies utilize the same system and can unleash multiple attacks on you.

AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I research provides a clean and efficient route to bio-gasoline made from cellulosic materials. This technology will reduce dependence on foreign oil and decrease net carbon emissions by converting unused agricultural wastes and grasses to bio-gasoline. The method is safe and environmentally friendly. Enzymatic fermentation is eschewed in favor of a faster and cheaper chemical route, and liquid acid catalysts are replaced by cleaner alternatives. The proposal seeks to develop a novel catalyst to allow cellulose hydrosylate to be converted into oxygenated hydrocarbons useable as gasoline blending agents. Such a process would be significantly more efficient than cellulosic ethanol production due to greater efficiency in the conversion of cellulose to fuel and eliminating the cost and time required for biological and enzymatic conversions. The broader impact of this research would be to lead to a process enabling the direct conversion of biomass into a gasoline substitute. Production of tens of billions of gallons of this motor fuel could be produced every year, creating economic opportunities for farmers, producers, and providing the public with a more stable and secure source of motor fuel. This project also offers new scientific developments in the areas of catalysis and the processing of biomaterials.

Sandblasting, which gives jeans a 'worn' or used look, is known to kill workers in garments producing countries like Turkey and Bangladesh where jeans sandblasting is done manually. The process involves workers firing sand under high pressure at jeans. Dust then enters the environment, exposing workers to silica, which causes silicosis in the lungs. Eventually, workers die because they cannot breathe properly anymore. There is no known cure. Some major brands, such as Levi's, H&M, C&A and Gucci, have already abolished sandblasted jeans in their collections. But in the 'global center of fashion', Italian luxury brands like Dolce & Gabbana have yet to publicly ban sandblasting from their supply chains! Thousands of lives are at risk... Join us in calling on Dolce & Gabbana to ban sandblasting.

Bought a used Canon Mark II...questions about the video mode
Jan 15, 2014
So I bought a used Canon Mark II in good shape for about 1500, and when in video mode, I notice it shoots video at 24fps at about 49mbps bitrate. I thought the mark II can only shoot video at 30fps? I'm not complaining, of course, just wondering if the camera might have been modified to shoot at these settings? Or is this just a stock Canon Mark II? Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks.

Your Prescriptions Could Be More Expensive
Because the Health Resources and Services Administration is on lockdown, the 340B federal drug discount program — a program that requires drug companies to provide drugs at a low cost — isn't allowing new enrollment for the October 1-15 period. However, for those already in the program, their discounts will still be honored.

|Canadians are, by and large, satisfied with their health care system. It is for them a symbol of their community and distinguishes them from the United States. Unlike the health system of that country, it is universal, comprehensive, and accessible, and it costs less as a percentage of GNP to run. The difference between the two systems is rooted in differences in funding. By providing coverage of medically necessary care under a single nonprofit payer (the provincial governments, with guidance and some funds from the federal government), the Canadian system avoids the large overheads and profit incentives that make a fragmented private insurance industry so expensive and inequitable. Whereas health insurance in Canada is socialized, care is not: patients are free to choose among providers, physicians are primarily in private practice, and hospitals are independent, nonprofit institutions overseen by boards of trustees. Canada and the United States view the challenges confronting the Canadian system differently. To Canadians, the real issue is how to improve the management of a popular, effective, and heretofore affordable system, so as to preserve it in a more hostile economic environment. The specific areas of concern are common to all health care systems in the developed world but bear little resemblance to the misleading images of Canada fabricated in the United States for internal political purposes. For Canadians, the proof of their system is that it works, while millions in the United States go without.
