The Y-City Barbershop Chorus is having their Celebrate Harmony Concert at Secrest Auditorium this Sunday at 3 p.m.
"It'll be about a two hour show featuring five local quartets; our local Y-City Barbershop Chorus and then we have this featured group from northern Ohio called the Hot Air Buffoons very funny and entertaining," said Assistant Director of the Y-City Chorus, Paul Shannon.
The Y-City Chorus will be performing along with the Hot Air Buffoons and there will also be a quartet of teens from four local high schools. At just 10-years-old, Andy Matzke is the youngest member of the chorus. If you can hold a tune and want to join the singing group, you're invited to not only come to their concert, but stop by their practices and join in the harmony.
"It would be fun to get some kids my age too," said Matzke. "They can come to our practices which are held at Grace United Methodist Church on Monday's."
You can get your tickets to the show at Secrest, Tom's Ice Cream Bowl or from any Y-City Chorus member.

Failing to Adjust Assistance for Inflation Hurts Wisconsin's Low-wage Workers
State policy choices contribute to the growing divide in income and wealth between the richest and poorest Wisconsinites. Although most parts of the state and federal tax codes and federal entitlement programs are adjusted ("indexed") each year for inflation each year, Wisconsin programs that assist low-income households are less likely to be adjusted for inflation. The decision to freeze those forms of assistance means they are steadily eroded over time – to the detriment of struggling low-income workers and their communities.
A recent article by Chris Rickert in the Wisconsin State Journal contrasted the erosion of several forms of public assistance – including Wisconsin Works benefits, the Homestead Tax Credit, and the state minimum wage – with a proposal by some GOP members of the state legislature to periodically adjust campaign contribution limits for inflation. I was reminded of that article by two new reports issued late last week that shed more light on the effects of not adjusting the Homestead Tax Credit and Wisconsin Works: Read more
In Some Parts of Budget, JFC Shows Affinity for Federal Funding
By Siphoning off More TANF Funding to Pay for the EITC, Committee Undercuts Arguments Against Using Federal Funds
The Joint Finance Committee votes Thursday, May 21, on a wide range of Medicaid issues, including whether to expand BadgerCare and save upwards of $345 million that could help prevent deep cuts in higher education and other parts of the budget. The most frequent argument made by conservatives against capturing that federal assistance is that we shouldn't accept federal funding that might not be secure. However, if you were carefully watching the Finance Committee's budget votes last Thursday you would have gotten a very different perspective on the willingness of the majority party to accept federal funding.
There were at least two times last Thursday when the JFC voted to amend the Governor's budget in ways intended to capture or utilize more federal funding. In one case (motion #345) the committee unanimously approved new standards that will make it easier for the Department of Children and Families to close child support cases. Read more
Welfare Reform Block Grant Funds Once Again at Risk in Wisconsin
The Joint Finance Committee will vote Thursday on whether to divert more funds from the federal welfare reform block grant to help finance unrelated parts of the state budget. The amount of those funds transferred to the Department of Revenue (DOR) has already been increased dramatically in each of the last two budgets. $62.5 million per year from the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) block grant is being used to replace state funding for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and that maneuver reduces the funding available for important programs to assist vulnerable low-income families.
According to a Legislative Fiscal Bureau paper (#215) , federal law would allow the state to transfer up to $12.3 million more to DOR in the next biennium, in order to back out state General Fund dollars for the EITC.
Optimally, legislators should decrease the use of TANF funding for the EITC, which is what the Department of Children and Families (DCF) proposed last fall in the budget request they submitted to the Department of Administration. Read more
Proposed EITC Funding Shift Reveals another Budget Hole
TANF Funding Squeeze Creates a Substantial Budget Challenge
The Department of Children and Families (DCF) budget proposes a very large cut in the portion of funding for the Earned Income Tax Credit that comes from the federal welfare reform block grant, which is known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Specifically, the department's 2015-17 budget proposes cutting $55.8 million from the TANF funding that gets transferred to the Department of Revenue, which would mean that state General Purpose Revenue (GPR) has to fill the very substantial gap.
Assuming the Walker Administration isn't planning to cut the EITC, I applaud DCF for wanting to use state funds rather than TANF funds to finance that credit for low-income working families. Unfortunately, the Department of Revenue (DOR) budget proposal doesn't currently include an increased GPR appropriation for the EITC. Taking both agency proposals together, we have a $55.8 million hole that needs to be filled by state policymakers, and that problem is on top of the other structural budget challenges that have gotten more media attention.

Important Choices Tuesday on Funding for Welfare to Work and Child Care Programs
New Federal Money Provides Chance to Close Large Hole in W-2 and Improve Child Care
Wisconsin got some good news from Washington over the last couple of months, in the form of supplemental federal funding for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and additional child care and development funds (CCDF). The plans for using part of that additional funding – $19.8 million from TANF and $3.8 million from CCDF – will be reviewed by the Joint Finance Committee (JFC) on May 6th. (The LFB paper can be found here.)
I've written numerous times over the past year or so about the fact that the biennial budget bill made very unrealistic assumptions about declining participation in the state's welfare to work program, known as Wisconsin Works or W-2. The budget bill cut the W-2 appropriation and siphoned off TANF block grant funding by using it to supplant state funds for the Earned Income Tax Credit. Read more
Taking Stock of the Earned Income Tax Credit on EITC Awareness Day
Despite Using Far More TANF Funds for the WI EITC, Total Spending Declines
Today is EITC Awareness Day, when the IRS works with community organizations, elected officials, state and local governments, schools, employers, and other interested parties to spotlight the Earned Income Tax Credit, and to encourage more eligible families and individuals to apply for the credit. The IRS estimates that one fifth of eligible taxpayers fail to claim and get this important credit.
In recognition or EITC Awareness day, let's take a look at the Wisconsin EITC, including some recently released data showing the declining value of that credit over the past years, and the role of that decline in adding to the state surplus. It's also a good time to consider the effectiveness of the EITC as a tool for helping make work pay for low-income families.
As the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities pointed out in a January 31 paper, the EITC helps working families make ends meet and encourages them to keep working and to work more hours. Read more
Legislature Approves Unfunded Transitional Jobs Bill
New LFB Paper Illustrates Why Tapping TANF Funding Appears Unlikely
The Assembly overwhelmingly approved a bill today that we strongly support, because it is aimed at expanding a program to provide on-the-job training to low-income people. The only catch is that it isn't funded, and the prospects for funding it don't look promising anytime soon.
The bill in question is SB 333, which is part of the package of workforce training bills proposed by the Governor in late September. It authorizes expansion of the Transitional Jobs program, which now only operates in Milwaukee. Transitional Jobs was first implemented several years ago as a pilot program, with funding from the federal Recovery Act. Although that came to an end, the 2013-15 biennial budget bill created a new version of it in Milwaukee, which is now called the Transform Milwaukee Jobs Program. It was allocated $9.9 million from the federal welfare reform block grant known as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). Read more
DCF and DHS Plan Would Close Part of the W-2 Funding Shortfall
Since late spring we've been raising concerns that the biennial budget bill cuts funding for the welfare-to-work program known as Wisconsin Works (W-2) based on faulty assumptions. This June 17 paper examines the problem and explains how reducing W-2 spending and shifting federal block grant funds made it easier to cut state taxes in the budget bill.
This week the Walker Administration acknowledged the W-2 shortfall and submitted a plan to the Joint Finance Committee (JFC) to narrow the funding gap by $9.6 million. The plan submitted to JFC by the Dept. of Children and Families (DCF) and Dept. of Health Services (DHS) closes part of the gap by using unallocated federal funding known as "income augmentation" revenues. These funds are received by the state as the federal share of state and local spending for things like Targeted Case Management and the Medicaid HealthCheck program.
The proposal identifies a total of about $33.7 million of income augmentation funds, of which the biennial budget bill has already committed $19.6 million during fiscal year 2013-14. Read more
The Effects of the Federal Government Shutdown for Wisconsin Children and Families
A Significant Economic Hit to the National Economy and a Gradually Expanding Erosion of Key Programs
Economists expect the federal government shutdown to have significant adverse consequences for the national economy. This LA Times article reports that some project that even just a two-week partial shutdown will cause a reduction of 0.3 to 0.4 of a percentage point from national economic growth in the fourth quarter. That's particularly a problem when the economic recovery is already so sluggish that job growth has been barely keeping ahead of population growth.
I worry about those economic consequences, but I am also very concerned about the effects of the shutdown on children and families in our state – especially for low-income and vulnerable families. Fortunately, most federally funded programs for those families will continue at least through October, but the consequences could be very serious for vulnerable families if the shutdown lasts well into the fall.

Ten Reasons Why This a "Robin Hood in Reverse" Budget
In a long Q & A format interview in the Capital Times, I described a number of the faults of the 2013-15 budget bill. One of the defects I mentioned in that interview is that the bill employs a "Robin Hood in reverse" strategy for allocating resources. Because the article doesn't provide much explanation of the reasoning behind that charge, I feel obligated to elaborate.
Actually, I think there is a very broad range of reasons for concluding that the recently enacted budget shifts resources from the poor to the rich. A new Wisconsin Budget Project paper explains ten of those reasons, which are summarized more succinctly below:
1) Diverting federal block grant funds for low-income families – The bill siphons off funding from the federal block grant known as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) and indirectly uses those funds to build up the state's surplus, which helped lawmakers enact larger income tax cuts that primarily benefit the wealthy.

"The greatest writer of historical adventures today" (Washington Post) tackles his richest, most thrilling subject yet--the heroic tale of Agincourt.
Young Nicholas Hook is dogged by a cursed past--haunted by what he has failed to do and banished for what he has done. A wanted man in England, he is driven to fight as a mercenary archer in France, where he finds two things he can love: his instincts as a fighting man, and a girl in trouble. Together they survive the notorious massacre at Soissons, an event that shocks all Christendom. With no options left, Hook heads home to England, where his capture means certain death. Instead he is discovered by the young King of England--Henry V himself--and by royal command he takes up the longbow again and dons the cross of Saint George. Hook returns to France as part of the superb army Henry leads in his quest to claim the French crown. But after the English campaign suffers devastating early losses, it becomes clear that Hook and his fellow archers are their king's last resort in a desperate fight against an enemy more daunting than they could ever have imagined.
One of the most dramatic victories in British history, the battle of Agincourt--immortalized by Shakespeare in Henry V--pitted undermanned and overwhelmed English forces against a French army determined to keep their crown out of Henry's hands. Here Bernard Cornwell resurrects the legend of the battle and the "band of brothers" who fought it on October 25, 1415. An epic of redemption, Agincourt follows a commoner, a king, and a nation's entire army on an improbable mission to test the will of God and reclaim what is rightfully theirs. From the disasters at the siege of Harfleur to the horrors of the field of Agincourt, this exhilarating story of survival and slaughter is at once a brilliant work of history and a triumph of imagination--Bernard Cornwell at his best.

1) Do we believe that SGP has better Data than VRTX?2) Will longs get out before tomorrows Conference?3) Will shorts cover tonight?Good Luck everybody?emserm
The ghost of boce still exercises its power on the market from its grave.Seriously, we may encounter more bumps through EASL because of other competitors' PIs and meeting's focus on side effects of, and viral resistance to, PIs.
<<They hid it so well in late October, the analysts and the market entirely overlooked it.>>----------------------------------------you are so right about that. Fred Hassan did not allow his underlings to answer some of the analysts' questions. He likes to present the best picture possible.
You are right. My memory is coming back. Again, their PR machine may drop the fact that the 4 wk pre-treatment was necessary to obtain meaningful results. They hid it so well in late October, the analysts and the market entirely overlooked it.
I have to add to my earlier post that SPRINT 1 Boceprevir arms have an additional 4 wk SOC treatment prior to administering 24 or 48 wks of Boceprevir. EASL 2008 abstract indicated this 4 wk pre-treatment enhanced the viral response greatly.I speculate that 4wk SOC added prior to TVR 12+12 regimen or 8+16 regimen would improve the SVR also.
Yes, I remember reading that about the 4 week SOC before they started their Trials - will see what they have to present - I am not sure now if they will have there Late Breaker on Saturday or earlier?Do you know?Will see what happens tomorrow?emserm
To your question (1), Boceprevir given 24 or 48 wks with 24 or 48 wks of IFN/RBV may be comparable to TVR's 12wk+12wk result.TVR's advantage is the short treatment duration of 12 wks. SPRINT 1 does not have such a short regimen. Their drug is not as potent as TVR.
Thank you for your reply - Lets hope that will all be cleared up tomorrow - Good Luck,emserm

Question: In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, does exercise training improve glycemic control (reduce glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c] levels) and reduce body mass?
Data sources: Studies in all languages were identified by searching MEDLINE (1966 to 2000), EMBASE/Excerpta Medica (1980 to 2000), SPORT DISCUSS (1949 to 2000), HealthSTAR (1975 to 2000), Dissertation Abstracts (1861 to 2000), and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register; by checking the reference lists of major textbooks, review articles, and relevant articles from the search; and by contacting experts.
Study selection: Studies were selected if they were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or controlled clinical trials (CCTs) of exercise interventions lasting ≥ 8 weeks in patients with type 2 diabetes in whom compliance could be verified by direct supervision or diaries.
Data extraction: 2 investigators independently extracted data on sample size, baseline and post-treatment means and standard deviations of the intervention and control groups for HbA1c levels and body mass, exercise-program characteristics (type, frequency, duration, intensity, and energy cost), and study quality (randomization, blinding, withdrawals, and concealment).
Main results: 14 trials (11 RCTs) were included (504 patients, mean age 55 y, 50% men, mean duration of diabetes 4.6 y). The duration of the intervention ranged from 8 to 52 weeks (mean 18 wk). Study quality was moderate to low (mean score 1.6 out of 5 points). 12 trials that compared exercise with no exercise showed reduced HbA1c levels with the exercise program (P < 0.001) (Table). 2 trials that compared diet plus exercise with no diet and no exercise also showed reduced HbA1c levels with the intervention (P = 0.008) (Table). A sensitivity analysis showed no difference between results from RCTs and CCTs (Table). The results did not differ by type of exercise (aerobic vs resistance training). Exercise alone (12 trials, P = 0.60) or combined with diet (2 trials, P = 0.24) did not reduce body mass (Table). The results did not differ when RCTs, CCTs, aerobic training, or resistance training were analyzed separately. Meta-regression analysis showed that the reduction in HbA1c levels could not be predicted by change in body mass, exercise intensity, or total amount of exercise.
Conclusion: In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, exercise training reduces HbA1c levels but does not reduce body mass.
Exercise vs no exercise for type 2 diabetes at mean 18 weeks*

News Insurance Commission Omission
posted by October 17 at 17:28 PMon
The PI article about title insurance companies illegally spending thousands of dollars to woo clients may be the most boring scandal ever exposed, but this afternoon it got slightly more interesting.
11 insurance companies are named in the State Insurance Commissioner's report, all of which went over (um, really really over) the state's $25 cap on "prizes, goods, wares or merchandise" given to realty companies with whom they want to get buddy-buddy.
But a tipster who used to work as an internal auditor for Fidelity Insurance (one of the companies named) called in today to tell us that the PI article left out a crucial point: while 11 companies are named, several of them are actually the same few corporations.
The PI's list of the offending companies looks like this: Chicago Title Insurance, Commonwealth Land Title Insurance, Commonwealth Land Title of Puget Sound, Transnation Title Insurance, Fidelity National Insurance, First American Title Insurance, Old Republic Title, Pacific Northwest Title, Rainier Title, Stewart Title of Seattle, Ticor Title of Washington.
It really looks like this: Fidelity (owner of Fidelity, Ticor and Chicago Title), LandAmerica (owner of Rainier, Transnation and both Commonwealths), First American (owner of First American and Pacific Northwest), Stewart and Old Republic.
Why is this important? Because it means there's really 5 violating companies, not 11. And because the reason State Insurance Comissioner Mike Kreidler gave for not prosecuting any of the companies despite the giant damning investigation is "because the problems were so widespread" and also that prosecution wasn't completely necessary because "he expected companies obeying the law to start turning in competitors who weren't."
Doesn't it drastically undermine Kreidler's already shaky logic if the "widepsread" problem is the violation of 5 companies, not 11? And the field is only half as competitive as it's portrayed to be?
File under boring but important, please.

Emma Stone may have turned heads in a backless Elie Saab gown during the 2015 Oscars, but she gave photographers quite an eyeful when she accidentally flashed her crotch while adjusting her dress' high slit.
While walking down the red carpet Sunday night, the actress, who…
Lady Gaga gave the paparazzi an eyeful when she stepped out in New York City clad in a sheer blue dress. Seeing how the Mother Monster wasn't wearing a bra at the time, cameras accidentally caught a glimpse of the singer's nipples.
Jennifer Lawrence looked drop dead gorgeous at The Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part 1 London Premiere after-party on Monday night.
And when her dress slipped a little too far down in the chest area in the cab on her way home with close friend Lorde, the Oscar winning actress laughed it off in stride.
A very lucky group of 12- and 13-year-old boys got a major thrill at the bar mitzvah they attended, when Iggy Azalea's pants reportedly split open while she was twerking during a performance.
Iggy reportedly earned between $75,000 – $100,000 for her appearance
There's not much to say about these photos, other than: BOOBS.
Kim Kardashian's boobs, to be specific. Kim Kardashian's almost-bare boobs enjoying the temperate Los Angeles weather while on a date with Kanye West.
Jennifer Garner is the epitome of poise and grace when it comes to walking red carpets… But I guess no one is perfect all the time!
The actress suffered a bit of a wardrobe malfunction last night at the premiere of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day–talk about life…
We at Celebuzz are pretty big fans of Chrissy Teigen's social media presence.
But clearly we're not the only ones: thanks to the help of her right nipple, the Sports Illustrated model has received 82.6k likes (and counting) on a certain Instagram photo she posted last night.
Selena Gomez experienced a chaotic return to Los Angeles as she arrived on an incoming flight from Paris at LAX yesterday (October 01, 2014).
Selena was in a good mood as she smiled and held tight to a police officer with her zipper down as she made her way through the Los Angeles…
Paula Patton gave photographers quite the eyeful when she stepped out to have dinner at Craig's restaurant in a very sheer dress, accidentally showing off her nipples when the flashbulbs went off.
Originally, this post was going to be all about Nicki Minaj's bum but our girl gave us something even better to talk about: a possible wardrobe malfunction.

v. to rub the penis up and down in the crack between the ass cheeks, but without petrating the hole, as an alternative to anal sex. n. the act of doing so.
Get your dick out of my ass! I'm no whore; boo-cheek me instead.

Hope they will be back. Mustang games were very well priced and good entertainment.
Interesting how their commissioner called the Bradley Center a "tremendous building" and all the Bucks can do is threaten to leave if they don't get a new facility.Hide replies
From an Arena Football perspective, the Bradley Center is a great venue. From an NBA perspective, it is the second oldest arena in the NBA and is definitely not a viable building for the future of the Bucks.
Keep drinkin' the Kohl Kool aid! When you're playing to 7,000-8,000 empty seats per night (actual attendance) I've got news for you: The least of your problems is the building you play in.
This sounds like a classic case of Chris, good luck in your future endeavors…… we have seen this and similar statements before in professional and semi-professional sports.Hide replies
Yes. What else is he going to say?
Mustangs - see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya.
Here is the funny thing about the AFL and Jerry - he will never admit that anything is wrong with the league.
The league still has not acknowledged that Georgia and Kansas City are no longer in the league, they just prefer to hope nobody notice and that nobody notices that attendance is largely lied about across the league.
What else is he going to say? "Well this is the second time that this team has gone dark, including the work stoppage in 2009, and we don't think they will be back because the financial model in the AFL works and makes a lot of sense."
I hope the Mustangs return, but the bigger question is, will there be a league for them to play in?
If Jerry would just admit when things go bad, because they do, maybe there would be some respect.
The players respect him so much that when he went on a team by team tour to try and talk them out of forming a union - they formed a union anyway, and two work stoppages that almost crippled the league occurred.
But maybe this time he is right.

She loves Clean ears, flipflops, cats, and hopefully jackson. She is a tiny bit awkward which adds to her cuteness. She may have obtained down syndrome and snorts occasinally when laughing. Shes fuckking hilarious and likes cats a little to sexualy also very racisit. her riends may be pleasently plump, but she is the most gorgeous amazing perfect girl i've ever met. and she can always make me smile. i love our awkward talks. and even though i hate keeping us a secret i'd do it because its for her. she has millions of strange not completley normal fetishes. and i met her the first day...fell in love with her wearing her blue shirt in gym class. Shes not gonna move because were gonna stop it.

Yahoo closes European Content Network
Yahoo keeps dominating the news these days. Earlier this week they had a dispute with the Premier League, yesterday Yahoo announced their new CEO, but at the same time Yahoo UK announced it will be discontinuing their Content Match product in Europe.
Content Match lets Yahoo Publisher Network publishers display ads on their websites. Yahoo places relevant ads alongside articles. According to PPC Hero Yahoo will stop this service in the UK March 31st. Apparently not only the UK will be taken out, the services will also stop in Germany, but there is no confirmation for that so far.
In an e-mail Yahoo stated:
"As a valued client we are writing to give you advance notice of the closure of our Content Match product in Europe.
The Content Network never really was a big success in Europe because of the big competition it has from Google Adsense. Revenues in this area are low, even for Google. Therefore Yahoo believes it is not profitable to keep the service running.
The way Yahoo announces the discontinuing their Content Match product seems strange. Some clients received an e-mail like PPC Hero did in which opt-out instructions were handed. If you go to the Content Network website however there is no notice. It seems though that once you log in there is one. Therefore it looks like Yahoo is only informing its own clients. Our sources within Yahoo confirm the closure of the English content network. They told us they are informing clients personally.

Procedurally - if you want a patch to be taken seriously, you need to provide documentation *and* tests. We don't accept any new feature without both.
This appears to be very closely related to #11486; is this a case where you're requesting a feature that already exists, or is it a specific failure in the Python serializer? The Python serializer is an internal mechanism, and not intended as a public serializer, so if you want to add this feature, you'll need to demonstrate how it affects the public serializers, or explain why the Python serializer should gain this new feature.

- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
Looks like it affects not just the Python deserializer, but also the JSON and YAML deserializers too, as they both use the Python deserializer. If we allow deserializing XML without a pk attribute, it stands to reason that the others should also follow suit?

Whale calf still entangled off Sydney
- From: AAP
- November 08, 2012
NSW wildlife officers have suspended until morning a bid to disentangle a whale calf seen dragging ropes and buoys as it swam with its mother off Sydney.
The pair were spotted in Sydney Harbour on Thursday afternoon, prompting a National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) operation to free the calf.
A crew assessed the calf off Long Reef, on the city's northern beaches, but the presence of the protective mother and a third whale, along with fading light and approaching stormy weather, forced them to call a halt to the operation.
The whales are expected to head south along the coast on the annual humpback migration.
NPWS marine fauna program co-ordinator Geoff Ross told AAP the ropes tangled around the whale's flukes were not life threatening at this stage.
Disentanglement crews along the coast have been alerted to be ready for an intercept on Friday.
Mr Ross said the NPWS would be helped by the police air wing, other aircraft and whale spotters on the shore.
"We would hope to be able to mount a disentanglement operation as soon as we find out the location in the morning."
Mr Ross said disentanglement crews would likely use a technique employed by whalers in the past.
"That is to attach a length of 100-metre line on the existing entanglement and to that attach inflatable buoys.
"That slows the animal down and tires it out and allows our boat crews to approach, put cameras under the water and have a look at the entanglement."
Mr Ross said the crews could then pick which ropes needed to be cut off first to ensure they fell away safely from the animal.
Shona Lorigan from the Organisation for the Rescue and Research of Cetaceans of Australia (ORRCA) said the group's volunteers would be "on the headlands" along the coast early on Friday to spot the whales.

Free Xbox LIVE games for August leaked
The free August Games With Gold titles have been revealed ahead of schedule, and they're not actually pretty good this time around.
Thankfully it looks like the days of Pool Nation HD repeats are gone forever: August's GwG lineup includes some rather decent titles on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. On the "all-in-one console" we have Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate, one of the best Musou games on the market, and WWE 2K16, a semi-competent wrestler that seems to be a big improvement over the broken WWE 2K15.
On Xbox 360 the offerings are lighter fare for GwG August. Sadly we won't be seeing any AAA titles this time around, with the free games limited to XBLA games like Spelunky and Beyond Good & Evil HD. Don't get me wrong, both of these games are pretty good on their own right, but it's not necessarily what Xbox 360 users are used to. Then again a good portion of the Xbox 360's library has already been given away for free.

Grand Theft Auto V's new mod pushes close to photo-realistic graphics

Razed says that the mod was made from utilizing ReShade and ENB, while mixing in the VisualV mod that makes Grand Theft Auto V better than it's ever looked before. You'll need VisualV to use NaturalVision, which you can download right here, while NaturalVision is available here.

Sega making Mega Drive Mini console with 80 games, plays cartridges
In a bid to counter Nintendo's NES Mini, Sega is planning to release its own official Mega Drive/Genesis Mini console that one ups its rival.
Sega knows the NES Mini is quite restricted, so its decided to release its own fully-functioning miniaturized Megadrive/Gensis system that not only rocks 80 built-in games from Sega's best-of library (30 more than the NES Mini) but also plays original NTSC and PAL game cartridges. That's a pretty huge advantage--as we know the NES Mini doesn't play NES cartridges and isn't a fully-functioning console. Plus it's listed at $49.99 which is a full $10 cheaper than the NES Mini. But it does have its shortcomings and we'll come to those later.
A listing for the Megadrive Mini was spotted on a UK retailer Smyths for £49.99 and a release in October. Remember that the Megadrive is the UK/Europe version of the Genesis. The weird thing is the Genesis Mini is already being sold in the UK and in the US so perhaps the console listed at Smyths is a re-release?

According to the official No Man's Sky website, the eagerly anticipated procedurally-generated space sim will release three days late on PC. Is it a simple mix up, or has No Man's Sky been pushed back a little bit farther for PC players?
No Man's Sky's about page clearly tells us that the PC version will launch "worldwide on August 12," which is a full three days after the PS4 flavor which launches on August 9. Interestingly enough Steam's marketplace still lists the PC version for August 9, and anyone who's pre-ordered the No Man's Sky Collector's Edition received confirmation of a August 9 PC launch.
"No Man's Sky Explorer's Edition Update on the Explorer's Edition Coming Soon! (PC codes will be sent at least 24 hours before launch of Aug 9)," reads an email blast sent to collector's edition orders. Honestly it looks like Hello Games might've mixed up the release date on the about page, especially when we have two clear instances telling us the PC version indeed releases on August 9.

See Star Citizen's current biggest flyable ship in 4K
The current largest flyable ship in Star Citizen is the Starfarer, a standard fuel transporter vessel, and is the feature of the video below by level lead Matthew Trevelyan Johns. Presented in glorious 4K, it represents yet another way to appreciate the superb technical achievement Star Citizen is, as well as the game's ship design.
If the Starfarer looks big to you, it's nothing compared to the Bengal Carrier, a monster of a ship that appears to be roughly 100 times bigger in this chart. Of course, due it's massive size, it'll likely be awhile before the Bengal is playable.

Gears of War 4 has unlocked frame rate on PC
With Gears of War 4, Microsoft's first-party studio The Coalition has made an effort to fix the Windows Store's awkward PC gaming support, enabling features like unlocked frame rates, tighter GPU implementation, ultra-wide support, 4K textures, and more.
"Our focus on PC is to deliver a highly optimized, customizable experience first and foremost," The Coalition's technical director Mike Rayner told Eurogamer. "Support for v-sync tearing has recently come to UWP and we will be able to offer proper unlocked frame-rate support that gamers expect on day one. With Unreal Engine 4 and our own custom modifications, we can take much better advantage of multiple CPU cores, alleviating the game from being CPU-bound and allowing more room for the GPU to shine with enhanced visual quality or higher framerates. Single-player will not be locked to 30fps on PC."
Rayner also says that Gears of War 4 on PC will have 4K resolution textures and sports 28 different tweakable settings that affect in-game graphics and performance, each with its own explicit explanation of how it affects the GPU/CPU and VRAM to optimized gameplay. So the game should play nicely with video cards across the entire spectrum like enthusiast-grade video cards like NVIDIA's new GeForce GTX 1080, AMD's mid-grade Radeon RX 480, or older Maxwell-based GTX 970s.

Kojima Productions' opening title sequence is weird, but awesome
Kojima Productions has released its first footage, with its new mascot in action - on the moon, with a whale behind it. This clip will most likely be the transition to the title menu.
The clip highlights how gamers will begin their Kojima Productions made video game, but there's no gameplay footage here, folks. As for the person in the space suit, it's Ludens - Kojima Productions' mascot. During San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced that Ludens would be featured with two action figures thanks to 1000 Toys.
We don't know which game engine was used to render the trailer, with Kojima Productions currently considering two engines for its first game, Death Stranding. Death Stranding will be Kojima Productions' first game, after Hideo Kojima and Konami went their separate ways after the release of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain last year.

No Man's Sky doesn't use patented Superformula, says dev
No Man's Sky creator and Hello Games lead developer Sean Murray has officially responded to Genicap's patent infringement claims, affirming that the near-infinite space sim doesn't use the patented Gielis Superformula and even calls the issue a "non-story."
"No Man's Sky doesn't actually use this 'superformula' thing or infringe a patent. This is a non-story... everybody chill," Murray said in a recent Tweet. Murray goes on to say that he will personally meet with Johan Gielis, the Superformula's creator, and discuss "maths" once the game is out. So it sounds like Hello Games won't have to delay No Man's Sky nor settle yet another costly court case after all.
As per our original report, Dutch company Genicap has accused Hello Games of patent infringement. Genicap claims that the studio uses its patented Gielis Superformula to create No Man's Sky's massive procedurally-generated universe without authorization. Genicap typically issues out licenses for clients to use its Superformula technology, and Hello Games isn't officially licensed. Now Sean Murray says that the game doesn't actually use the Gielis Superformula, but his recent words seem to clash with a New Yorker interview.

Project Sonic announced for PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo NX
SEGA has released a teaser for Project Sonic at San Diego Comic-Con 2016, during SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog 25th Anniversary Party - and before we go any further, can you believe Sonic is 25 years old? Sheesh.
Project Sonic was announced during the anniversary event in Tokyo last month, and for now, it's called Project Sonic. The teaser trailer doesn't provide much in the way of what to expect, except for some destruction and Sonic meeting a familiar face that looks to help him out.
I'm hoping that there's some cooperative play in Project Sonic, which would be a nice change and a throwback to the days of having other characters in the game that were useful to you - Tails, and Knuckles, anyone?

Witcher 3 first person mod released, looking good
Back in March we told you about a rad Witcher 3 first person mod that might never see the light of day. Well, it has as of recently, and some new footage has come out as well that shows it's in pretty great shape.
The downside is it doesn't work in all situations (the game goes into the normal third person once you draw your sword, ride a horse, or talk to someone), so for now at least, you can't get the full-on first person RPG experience.
If you still want to try it, download it here. Once that's set, use the hookfp command in the console to initialize it, and press P to go in and out of first person. You can also use the setfpfov(value) command to change your field of view (extreme values may cause crashes), and the fpzcorrect(true/false or 1/0) command to enable or disable head bobbing.
