Shane Coleman: FG could win the seat but still be election losers
Published 26/03/2013 | 05:00
TOMORROW is Fine Gael and Labour's 750th day in office, and it also brings the Coalition's first big electoral test.
Both parties – particularly, but not exclusively, Labour – have reason to be distinctly nervous about the by-election in Meath East.
By-elections are normally hopelessly unreliable indicators of the national picture. Successive governments here went 30 years without winning one before Labour – still in the afterglow of the Coalition's thumping general election victory – won in Dublin West in October 2011.
More than a decade ago, in the space of a year, Fianna Fail was humiliated in two by-elections in Tipperary South, prompting predictions of general election disaster. Eleven months after the second loss, the party came within a few hundred votes of an overall majority in the 2002 general election. Fine Gael, which won the first Tipp South by-election handsomely, was almost wiped out.
Voters tend to use by-elections as a chance to have a swipe at the Government, even in good times. Local factors tend to dominate. And, much more than in general elections, the electorate appear to favour the candidate who they see as being "due a go". But Meath East may prove to be a better yardstick than normal.
The circumstances that caused the by-election – the death of popular junior minister Shane McEntee – have surely negated the usual disadvantage facing governments in by-elections, at least for Fine Gael.
Shane's daughter, Helen, is hoping to win the seat her father first won in another by-election in 2005. She is an impressive candidate and has been keen to stress that voters should look beyond her name to see what she can offer as a TD.
That said, there is no question that there will be an enormous sympathy factor at play. The McEntee name also carries weight in Meath, particularly in GAA circles.
If Fine Gael fails to hold the seat in such circumstances, it would be a huge upset and a measure of how the party's stock has fallen with voters. Defeat at the hands of Fianna Fail would make it particularly unpalatable. After nearly 80 years of playing second fiddle to Fianna Fail before trouncing it in the general election of February 2011, Fine Gael would hope to maintain top-dog status for longer than this.
However, the indications are that Fine Gael will do enough to hold the seat. Party insiders are cautiously optimistic that Helen McEntee will top the poll. Even if she doesn't, they believe her ability to attract transfers will see her home. However, with turnout likely to be very low, nobody in Fine Gael will be relaxing at least until the first tallies are in on Thursday morning.
In contrast, the Labour leadership already knows it is staring into an abyss. The party won a seat here two years ago with Dominic Hannigan topping the poll with 21pc. But the word is that its by-election candidate, Eoin Holmes, will struggle tomorrow to land much more than a third of that support level.
In the circumstances, government voters were always going to plump for Ms McEntee ahead of Mr Holmes, but if the party comes in under 10pc in a constituency where it should be strong, it will be a significant blow. It will also increase the pressure on Eamon Gilmore.
UP to now, discontent with Mr Gilmore's leadership and with Labour's poor opinion poll ratings has been confined to private grumblings in sections of the parliamentary party. It should – and probably would – take more than a by-election humbling to cause more open and widespread revolt (next year's local elections, perhaps?).
But some of the new Labour TDs have shown a worrying tendency to over-react in recent months, so nothing can be ruled out.
And it's virtually inevitable that a Labour collapse in Meath East will impact on relations in the Coalition. The Labour leadership will come under pressure to flex the party's muscles in government and show some 'wins'. That's never a good thing for the stability of a coalition.
So whatever happens tomorrow it's hard to see any upside for the Coalition. Even if Fine Gael wins the election war, it could end up losing the peace in its government.

It doesn't help that he's a little weird -- he's the Scrappers' best pitcher, but he relies on tricks and gimmicks like talking to himself on the mound. The trouble is, the opposing teams' batters can hear what he's saying, and they know exactly what he's going to throw. It's enough to make Ollie want to quit the team -- even if the Scrappers can't win without him.
Nutty and the Case of the Mastermind Thief (Nutty Nutsell #2)by Dean Hughes
Nutty put the sack with the school Christmas collection into his locker, and someone took eighty dollars and left the rest of the money. Why take only part? And who could it be? Who even knows Nutty's locker combination? These questions face Nutty, president of the student council, and his three friends--Orlando, Bilbo and Ritchie. And they had to have answers soon. Because Nutty has to produce the money at the student council meeting. Nutty's sure who the thief is. The problem is to prove it. Only Nutty and his friends, along with their genius friend and former classmate, William Bilks, come up with many devious and funny ways to trap a thief, funny to the boys but methods that get them in serious trouble with the school principal. There are clues, but no thieves. Soon all five, but especially Nutty and William, are in deep trouble before William, with his usual aplomb, solves the problem. As always, not in a way anyone else expects. Fans of, The Hobbit., will be less confused than Nutty who realizes he really doesn't want to fail as student council president. Look for 7 other books in this series in the Bookshare Collection. Book one is, Nutty For President, and book 3 is, Nutty and the Case of the Ski-Slope Spy.
Nutty and the Case of the Ski-Slope Spy (Nutty Nutsell #3)by Dean Hughes
[from the dust jacket] "Nutty Nutsell, Student Council president, feels proud of himself. He has made it possible for a bunch of kids to go skiing during the Christmas holidays. And for once everything he planned seems to be working. He and Orlando and Bilbo and Richie and even William are all going--and are rooming together. It is when they reach their room that the problem begins. Hidden in a drain in the bathroom are some plans that look important and a note asking the finders not to turn the plans over to anyone, but to wait for him to reclaim them. He will use the code name Russian Roulette when he approaches them. Is the owner's life really in danger as the note says? Are the plans really that important? And if so, where can they be hidden? Who will come looking for them? What should the boys do? The answers to the first two questions come quickly. The plans are hidden in a safe place, thanks to William's genius. And it is soon apparent that a lot of people are looking for them. But where is Russian Roulette? And who is he? Before those questions are answered, the boys have encountered wild chases on the snow-covered hills, when not all of them are good skiers; a desperate escape from a locked hotel room; and threats of all kinds, enough to keep them alert and to wonder if their lives are as much in jeopardy as the life of Russian Roulette. This is a companion book to Nutty for President and Nutty and the Case of the Mastermind Thief." which can be found in the Bookshare collection.
Nutty Can't Miss (Nutty Nutsell #4)by Dean Hughes
From the dust jacket: "Nutty Nutsell is back, this time with his local recreational basketball team--the Lab School Labradors--and the Labradors are in trouble. The team has only won one game in two years, and that game only because the other team forfeited. Worse than that, this year their coach is Nutty's father, who makes long-winded speeches about team spirit and pride, but knows nothing about basketball. The answer? William Bilks, boy genius, of course. Although William doesn't know a whole lot about basketball either, he is willing to research basketball strategy and help develop some plays. But beyond that he tries something different--working with Nutty on a deep concentration technique, much like imaging, in which Nutty imagines himself making a perfect shot and then, in reality, does it. It is not long before the team is at the top and Nutty is a fifth-grade basketball phenomenon. Everything he does is perfect. No one has ever seen anyone play the sport like him before. He is certain to get a college scholarship, to play in the NBA. His future is unlimited, that is until Nutty, who feels nothing while in his "trance," has second thoughts about whether all the success and fame are worth the price of being nothing but a machine." This is the fourth book in the Nutty Nutsell series,. You'll find NUTTY FOR PRESIDENT, NUTTY AND THE CASE OF THE MASTERMIND THIEF, and NUTTY AND THE CASE OF THE SKI-SLOPE SPY in the Bookshare Collection.

Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS has officially been reviewed as faultless. As tried and tested by the four game reviewers of the popular Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, Kid Icarus gained a whopping 40/40; ten out of ten from each reviewer! This is just the nineteenth title out of the twenty six years the magazine has been in business that has received a perfect score, and it's not hard to see why.
Click Image To Enlarge
Kid Icarus: Uprising is the feverishly anticipated third game in the legendary saga that has been enjoyed by all for over twenty five years, and is the follow up to the original game Kid Icarus. Uprising was created and designed specifically for the Nintendo 3DS by Masahiro Sakurai (creator of Kirby and Super Smash Bros.), and was developed by his team at Project Sora.
Step once again into the shoes of our angelic protagonist Pit, who finds himself face to face with a reborn Medusa. Hell-bent on exterminating all of mankind, Medusa and her Underworld Army have only one thing standing in their way between world domination: Pit. Knowing he cannot defeat these terrifying monsters on his own, Pit joins forces with Palutena, the Goddess of Light and guardian of the human race. In order to give Pit a helping hand, Palutena grants Pit with the Miracle Of Flight; this allows him to fly for a certain amount of time, and aids him in travelling to all corners of the world, where monsters and an evil doppelgänger by the name of Dark Pit await him...
This copy of Kid Icarus: Uprising includes a free 3DS Stand (3DS Console Sold separately)

Kid Icarus: Uprising is perfectly balanced when it comes to fast-paced action and beautiful environments. The game is a visually dazzling and graphically breathtaking creation, completely jam packed with action sequences that are set at incredible breakneck speed. There are two different style of combat; aerial and ground, which gives you two levels to admire the gorgeous scenery and try out all of Pit's new moves and weapons. The air chapters in this story are set as guided on-rail shooting segments, with Palutena guiding Pit's path and leaving him to shoot and dodge the attacks of the flying enemies that pursue you. When on the ground, the combat is set in the style of a third person shooter, with both long range and close quarters combat ready at your fingertips; shoot from a distance, or get up close and personal with melee attacks, as well as various moves at your disposal that will allow you to dodge enemy attacks with style.
When it comes to weapons, there are a wide variety that have been introduced in order to make battle all the more layered, strategic, and exhilarating. There are nine different categories which include bows, claws, blades, and more, each type offering their own special bonuses and ability boosts; improved running speed, for example. Defeated enemies will provide you with weapons and also hearts, which act as the game's currency. These hearts can be used to increase the difficulty of Uprising by betting them against the computer, and proving you are good enough to have the difficulty raised on the game's scalable difficulty meter, otherwise known as the Fiend's Cauldron. When the difficulty is increased, you will earn better weapon drops and rewards when you defeat enemies and complete chapters; the higher the difficulty, the more powerful the equipment. These innovative features within Kid Icarus: Uprising are in abundance, and prove just how exceptional this game truly is. Overall, Uprising was more than worth the wait.(Cat Emerson)

Kid Icarus: Uprising is a great 3DS game with unquestionable replay value. The gameplay is amazing, the dialogues are hilarious and the story keeps dragging you to play the game. Actually, there are many plot twists along the way, so you're never sure what's going to happen next, letting you unravel the mystery. All the action is mixed with an excellent soundtrack, making the whole adventure a more pleasurable one. You can also change the controls at will, so if you're not the kind of person who likes to use the stylus and the 3DS stand all the time, there is always another way to play the game. Uprising allows you to play the way you want: lower difficulties will bring you safety, but less rewards; harder ones will be a challenge, but the treasures you can obtain from this kind of risky strategy are worth the effort. You'll be able to replay chapters over and over again, so it's great to come back once in a while to try to obtain new kinds of treasures. There's a great arsenal at your disposition and you can also create new weapons by the use of a fusion system. If you're tired of the single player, you can still have fun with the multiplayer mode. As you can see, there are many reasons to buy this game, making it one of the best titles in the Nintendo 3DS library.
Good game and good value
Since I've had Kid Icarus: Uprising I have not stopped playing. There are many things to do and there are many awards to play again the chapter, and you can change the difficulty to obtain better weapons. Section multiplayer is amazing, very funny and very entertaining and without lag. You can enjoy the game without the circle pad pro. If you do not know what game to buy, this one will ensure fun for long time.
The 3D on the 3DS is a gadget but it's interesting with this game. At the beginning, I didn't know what think about this game. In each level, it's the same thing, flying, running, shooting, boss. . . . But it may refer to the definition of a game. This game is fun and addictive. what do you expect? Fun, I can repeat 100 times the levels, and it is hard to reach the highest level of difficulty. I like the system of Icarons and weapons makes the game even more addictive.
Kid Icarus uprising is a game I was looking forward since it was announced for the 3DS. Now that I have gotten it and played it, the question stands, did it live up to my expectations? When starting up the game I am met by a very sweet title menu that lets me jump wherever I want with the touch screen. As I wanted to get right into the action I started the single player campaign right away. Oh how happy I became. Each stage in Kid Icarus Uprising is divided into two diffrent parts. The flying part and the ground part. Each stage start out with the Flying part which is a total blast. You fly around with Pit blasting away bad guys while enjoying the story, that is told during the stages. Here you control Pit with the slide pad while aiming with the touch screen. After you finished the fly part, you take the battle to the ground. Here you run around freely while still aiming with the touch screen. This takes some getting used to, but it works all right when you get into it. It also have a multiplayer mode that is not as fun as the Story one but fun enough to sink your teeth in. While its good that the action is fast, it is also what keeps me from setting 5/5 grade, since you easy miss some story text when concentrating on all the action and the ground battles can become a bit frustrating at times since you have to aim with the touchscreen. All in all however, Kid Icarus Uprising is an amazing game which gives hours of angel fun.
Once again the Nintendo 3DS can do no wrong, after the excellent Mario Kart 7 and Resident Evil: Revelations, a new stellar hit arrives on our 3DS screens. Kid Icarus: Uprising is an adventure you will not want to miss, it has everything going for it! Embark on an exciting adventure with Pit the angel against the evil Medusa, using countless different weapons and trying out the innovative touch controls. The multiplayer is just as good if not better, with team battles and single deathmatch. Highly recommended!
Kid Icarus: Uprising is the most fun game I have played this year on any system. Hours after finishing it, I still play the campaign on various difficulty sets, in order to get weapons to fuse into stronger ones and so on. I played very little of the excellent and challenging multiplayer, which means that this game has no end. It gets you hooked. Tons of replay value and content guarantees a purchase that you won't regret. As for the difficulty of the controls, this is part of what makes the game so good, it contains a mastery level so rewarding and satisfying that only the greatest games of the past had. The very finest!
Kid Icarus: Uprising is an amazing game. Lots of people have been complaining about the lack of dual-stick controls, but I think that the combination of the circle pad and touch screen is even more accurate than dual-stick. The graphics are stunning, controls are great and the gameplay is superb. The online multiplayer is pretty fun as well, and you get new weapons after every game. I recommend this game to everyone!
Kid Icarus is a real gem. Put the time into this game, and you will be rewarded with a top-quality gaming experience. The controls are a little tricky to master at first, but once you master them and start gaining extra weapons and abilities, the game-play is awesome. The in-game guides are really helpful too.
I highly recommend. Tight controls, great graphics, amazing gameplay, interesting storyline. what else do you need?
Great game, controls take some getting used to but work beautifully once mastered. The difficulty is adjustable from easy, clear up to impossible almost. Great artwork, clever story, and dialog. Truly another masterpiece title from Nintendo.
When I first played this game I expected to have some fun, and I certainly did. Kid Icarus Uprising uses the stylus brilliantly to combine air-shooting and ground fighting levels, it's true that at first it can be a bit complicated to get used to the system but don't worry, you'll end up having no trouble at all, and the game even comes with a console support which helps you play at home. It is a pretty good game everyone so go get it already!
The best 3DS game so far! awesome single player, crazy fun multiplayer , a lot of achievements, skills and weapons to unlock/collect and cool weapon fusing system! also the 3d effect works really well in Kid Icarus: Uprising!
Kid Icarus: Uprising is excellent.
This game is incredible! You can feel that it has been made for the 3DS, the depth works perfectly. Graphics are sublime and the music fit the on-screen action, which can be heavy! The game itself can be a real challenge if you want to have all weapons and explore every places in levels, depending on the difficulty you choose. Unfortunately the camera is not easy to master and that is sometimes awful when there are plenty of enemies to fight, that's probably the reason why Nintendo includes the 3DS stand. Beside this the game is a must-have and deserve to be owned for all the content it has.
Everything was good. Kid Icarus is good so far.
Kid Icarus: Uprising is a good game with great artwork, but the controls are horrible.
Everything was perfect and Kid Icarus: Uprising is awesome!
This game rewards old-time fans of the Kid Icarus franchise. Or does it? One way or another, Pit returns in a new adventure, designed as an incredibly high-paced action game, divided between segments in the air and on the ground. There is a lot of content in this game, and even fooled me into thinking it was shorter than it actually was. Which is good! The single player mode is pretty straight forward, and can be adjusted to your skill-level as a player. The multiplayer however doesn't let up, so you best stay on your toes as you find and fight friends and random people in order to compete for weapons and powers. You can work together as a team of 3 vs 3, or go solo if you so prefer. Even 1 on 1 matches can be intense, as you try to predict your opponents actions so you can time that dodge or charge shot perfectly. Good luck!
Kid Icarus: Uprising is a fantastic game packed with stuff, a storymode that's not only quite long for a handheld title, but also hilariously written, and replayable to the max. And with over 100 different kinds of weapons, that can all have even more different sub-abilities, there's the possibility to play just like you want to. And then of course there's the multiplayer mode; play it with friends around you, or with strangers online. It's a fantastic addition to the game, and it plays very smoothly. The game is packed with much more than just this, and will easily give you over 100 hours of fun. This game just shows that the Smash Brothers creator, Masahiro Sakurai, has done it again. Bravo!
Kid Icarus Uprising is a lot of fun. The flying scenes are great combat scenarios with awesome graphics and enough variation and challange to get you to come back for more. The same can be said for when playing with Pit on the ground, however the controls can get you a bit fatigued when playing in longer sections. All in all it's a really good game with lots of replay value due to a tremendous amount of stuff to collect and last but not least the multiplayer option.
First of all i want to congratulate Zavvi as when you buy this game you get a special download code emailed to you (about a couple of days after you receive the game) it entitles you to a free Kid Icarus game on the Virtual console via Eshop. Fantastic little bonus. The main game though is fantastic, it is pure gaming heaven (even if it does ache your hands - adds to the experience!) 10/10 Game This is what gaming is all about! nothing realistic about this game so don't buy it for realism! Pure fantasy and shooting in one, a must!
Kid Icarus Uprising is a must have game!
Kid Icarus is a really good game.
My expectations where quite high when I bought this game as the original Kid Icarus is one of my favourite games of all time. This game is, in my eyes, not a true sequel to Kid Icarus. The controls are pretty crap and the gameplay is quite shallow. However the weapon system is really cool and offers a lot of depth in customising your character. The online gaming is really good and balanced if you go for the team vs team mode. I wish they had made a 2.5D Metrovania sequel instead. This game might as well have the God of War brand slapped on to it.
Kid Icarus: Uprising is THE best game on the 3DS at this point. The graphics are beautiful, the 3D effect is well implemented but isn't too overwhelming, the story is fun and a joy to go through, and the cheesy dialogue will have you laughing quite a few times throughout the adventure. On top of this is the excellent multiplayer which has me going back for more everyday. If you're a fan of the Smash Bros series then you will love the mulitplayer in this game. All in all, the 25 years waiting for Pits return has been worth it. Roll on the next Kid Icarus game!
Kid Icarus is an awesome game, it had controls that were difficult to use but the 3DS stand helped me with the controls. The plot was great and the way the characters were making fun of each other and the multiplier was even greater. What I liked most was the variety of weaponry and the way you can fuse weapons. I recommend this game to all gamers who are up for challenges.
Kid Icarus: Uprising is in every way awesome! Well worth the 25 year wait since the last one
This is a totally brilliant game with beautiful stages and amazing enemies. The Solo mode is the main story and is easy to immerse yourself in for hours on end. The multiplayer modes just add to the astounding gameplay as you can battle against friends nearby or people from anywhewre on earth, in teams or as a one man army. With breathtaking detail in the stage layouts and astonishing weapons, enemies, characters and stories, this is definitely THE best game on the 3DS.
Excellent game with superb graphics. Can't wait for the next Kid Icarus game to come out!
Up until several weeks ago, I had never heard of Pit, or even Kid Icarus for that matter. However, upon reading the game features in various magazines and watching the jaw dropping trailers, my interest gradually grew and grew. I decided to take a chance and order it, and simply put, this game is epic in every single way and, for a handheld, just stunning to behold. This game has soooo much content and is superb value for money, so to sum this game up shortly (so i can get back to playing it :)) + Graphics are simply amazing, and if MK7 and SM3DL ever had a baby, this would be the result in those terms. + Hilarious dialog and references to various games. + Engaging story, with more twists and turns than an eel on heat... + Various weapons to use, find, gain, and fuse... + Endless replayability with the fiends cauldren, various chapters, intensity levels, and not to mention multiplayer. + AR battles are a dream to watch and a fun diversion. + Unlockables, treasures, and achievements to hunt down. + The music is simply moving and some of the best ever in a video game I have ever played. + Excellent mix and execution of air-land-boss battles, all of which are some of the most pleasing and thrilling gaming experiences I have ever experienced. I'm delighted with this game and so happy I took the plunge and gave it a go. To me, this is a legendary game, one that will be talked about for many years to come. If Kid Icarus Uprising is this good, then Pits next adventure and Super Smash Bros 3ds will be in a whole new league altogether...I can't wait! So grab your blade (and sandles) and let your wings soar and join the fight against Medusa and the Underworld... Enjoy!
Every so often a game comes along and completely captures everything that I look for in a game. Games that simply must be experienced by anyone with even a passing interest in gaming. Kid Icarus Uprising is one such game. Everything from the level design to the phenomenal scripting reeks of a kind of care and thoughtful design rarely seen in today's market. But first a bit of a background. Kid Icarus is actually not a new IP, with Uprising being a continuation of a series that first saw the light of day on the NES, but it may as well be. Nintendo's first party development teams are renowned for their high quality games, but this is radically different from pretty much everything Nintendo has ever churned out, featuring fresh and innovative gameplay and a fully voiced and spectacular storyline. In terms of gameplay Uprising is split into two distinct styles; aerial flying sections in the vein of games Sin and Punishment and Starfox, and ground based third person action sections. The former are truly spectacular, showcasing beautifully the scope and grandeur of the landscapes the developers have sculpted. These sections only last around five minutes, but they're often so intense (especially on higher difficulties) that any longer would be exhausting. After these sections are the ground based missions, taking place over sprawling complexes littered with enemies. The aim in these sections is to fight your way from the landing area to that level's boss. It is worth noting at this point the flaw that has led to Uprising receiving a number of negative reviews; the controls for the ground sections are rather contrived, requiring you to move using the circle pad, fire with the L button and swipe the touch screen to change direction. The issue with this scheme is that you end up supporting the 3Ds with one hand, which isn't the most comfortable way of doing things. However, the game comes bundled with a stand for the system that makes it all much easier, and once you have played the game for a while the control becomes second nature. Some critics have bemoaned the lack of circle pad pro support, but believe me when I say the speed and dexterity required to play this game simply couldn't be provided using a twin stick control scheme. Unusually for a Nintendo game the story in Uprising is truly something special. I don't want to spoil anything, but what starts simply takes a number of turns that you will never see coming. The voice work and scripting also deserves a special mention. The characters are all very funny and unique (seriously, this game is second only to portal two in terms of how funny it is!) and are constantly bantering with each other during levels. Cleverly, this is how most of the game's story is told- during the gameplay. Very rarely will you encounter a cutscene, meaning that the action goes pretty much uninterrupted. I could go on. There are so many more things I could praise, such as the innovative and clever intensity system for controlling a level's difficulty or the fantastic musical score, but frankly I'd be beating a dead horse. Believe me when I say that this game transcends anything previously seen on Nintendo's fledgling handheld. I love it!
Kid Icarus Uprising is nothing short of a perfect game, there is never a point in the game where you are not having fun, having a good balance of in flight and ground combat, the game will have you shooting nasty s for hours on end. The overall art style is stunning and pushes the 3ds to great lengths whilst keeping a high frame rate, whilst the accompanying sound track is just awesome! With the lengthy single player mode and thrilling multi player combat, both local and wifi, this game is a definite must-get for any 3DS owner.
The 3DS needed an action game like this. It's fast, frantic, challenging and absolutely packed with content. This game uses the 3DS' feature set like no other, get it, it's great fun, even with the challenging control scheme.
finally got this game it's worth the wait. I like the air battle mode.but it's a little hard to coordinate the way to control.
This is one of my favourite games ive played EVER!! Everyone complains about the controls, yes they take some getting used to but after an hour youll love them! The multiplayer is this game is astonishing, it has 2 modes both of which are addictive and fun. the single player is packed with content, it will take about 12 hours to complete but if you dont get addicted to the multiplayer or just to do single player on a harder intensity nothing will. This game is totally different to the original, the original was all about platforming, this game is full of action that will keep you hooked for hours on end. It is, believe it or not quite like the 3D version of super smash bros. it has the same action packed fighting in multiplayer and the same feel to the single player; where theres basically loads of enemies to kill really fast. a must have for ANY gamer. I would buy a 3DS for this game alone!
From what i played at E3 and various game events i can say that Nintendo really didn't rush this at all. The game itself is impressive and worth the wait and the money. The graphics are very good and the games easy to get used to with the control setup plus with a multi player this game has a massive replay value. The story revolves around Greek mythology. The game's protagonist Pit a young angel sent by the goddess along with a variety of weapons at his disposal the game varies from air based battles lasting 5 minutes then land based levels with plenty of action to keep the adveridge gamer entertained the boss fights can be a little tricky at first but once you know how they attack players should be fine. Kid Icarus Uprising is a recommended title for all 3DS owners and those that buy it wont be disappointed there maybe a wait for the game but i assure you its worth the wait

"2008 Remarkable Image of Caring Award" and "2008 Nursing Excellence Award" presented at Community Hospital
MUNSTER — Sue Brownewell, a registered nurse, and Cathy Zajac, a certified nursing assistant, were honored by their peers with Extraordinary Care Awards during Nurses Week in May at Community Hospital in Munster.
Brownewell received the 2008 Nursing Excellence Award, while Zajac received the 2008 Remarkable Image of Caring Award.
"All of our nurses take extraordinary pride in their work," Chief Nursing Officer Shelly Major said. "Sue and Cathy are two wonderful examples of an entire staff that provides compassionate patient care each and every day."
In addition to the presentation of the awards, Nurses Week fund-raising efforts brought in $24,913, which will benefit the Cancer Resource Centre and Hospice of the Calumet Area. The total dollars raised more than doubles the amount raised a year ago during Nurses Week.
"We have an exceptional nursing staff here at Community Hospital," said Don Fesko, Community Hospital Administrator. "During Nurses Week, we get a chance to honor them while raising money and awareness for two special causes."
The Cancer Resource Centre helps those affected by cancer obtain the support and resources they need to cope with the diagnosis. A comfortable setting awaits visitors who wish to review educational materials, gather to meet in a social setting, attend special events or classes, or come together in a professionally-led group for support. The Centre offers patients and their families a non-medical place where they can come to celebrate life, deal with hardships and get their questions answered.

Bring on the competition - we're ready.
And when I say we, I'm taking about the Bay City Times/WSGW rib team. With our new sauce brewing, we're ready to go head to head with other local celebrities during the Celebrity Challenge at the Labadie Pig Gig presented by State Farm.
Although long time team members Cathy Koebke and Ryan Stanton have moved on, Mike Randolph, senior photographer, has stepped up to the plate to help Art Lewis and I raise money for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bay County.
Also joining the team is Charlie LaLonde (my son) as official taste tester as Mike, Art and I mix and blend the sauce for that perfect flavor. Charlie knows good barbecue.
Check us out from noon to 1 p.m. Aug. 7. We are teaming up with local rib team of Meats & Mooore. This group has won the People's Choice Award two years in a row, the only team to do so.
Greg Buzzard, head rib cooker, says they are going for the trilogy and bring that trophy home once again.
Come on down and vote for the hometown team and check out our new sauce - which we have named The Hybrid.
I also have a couple recipe requests. My egg plant and pie pumpkins are covered in blossoms - the egg plant is purple, love it - which gives me hope there will be a bountiful crop.
Outside of egg plant Parmesan and ratatouille, I'm at a loss as what to do with the egg plant. By the way, if you haven't seen the movie "Ratatouille," check it out. It's terrific.
Back the request. I would also like a recipe for making pumpkin pie from scratch and I mean from scratch, using the pie pumpkins from my garden. Other recipes using this vegetable would be appreciated as well.
And, last but not least, my new friend Hazel is looking for easy recipes for making raspeberry and blackberry preserves. Hazel has promised to share her cake recipe with us.
My friend Kathy Roberts swears it's delicious.

Steven Bach's much-anticipated book, Final Cut: Dreams and Disaster in the Making of Heaven's Gate, due in July, chronicles in excruciating detail the excesses of Michael Cimino, who directed the $44 million flop. For example, of some 1.5 million feet of film exposed on Heaven's Gate, 1.3 million feet were actually printed—which, for comparison, is about four times the amount printed for Return of the Jedi. Though United Artists had originally hoped to bring in the film for less than $10 million, Cimino's production expenses alone totaled $1 million a week for Heaven's six months of filming, writes Bach, who was fired as the production chief of UA in 1981 after the movie bombed. Perhaps Bach's most remarkable claim pertains to the Montana acreage Cimino chose for the movie's big battle scene. At the studio's expense, Cimino cleared the land and installed a costly irrigation system in order to grow grass on the battlefield. Bach, who says he learned of these improvements after the fact, hoped to recoup costs by selling the irrigation pipes to the property's owner after filming was complete. Much to the studio's surprise, the landowner turned out to be Michael Cimino. When this matter was presented to Cimino's attorney, Eric Weissmann, notes Bach, the lawyer "agreed instantly that it was 'less than appropriate' for Michael Cimino's own land to be charged back to the picture...or any improvements thereto, or irrigation systems thereon or thereunder." The battle scene was moved to another location. (Asked to respond to Bach's book, Cimino, through a spokesman, said he had "no comment.")
Alexander Godunov, who normally dances to the music, will conduct it in the next Steven Spielberg movie, The Money Pit, co-starring Tom Hanks, Shelley Long and Maureen Stapleton. After three weeks of conducting lessons with Samuel Karch-malnick at UCLA, Godunov successfully led a 55-piece orchestra through Haydn's Symphony No. 94. Now he wants to try his baton as a guest conductor for symphony orchestras....
All the world's a rink for Olympic figure skaters Scott Hamilton and Dorothy Hamill. Each hopes to stage a theatrical production on ice about a storybook character: Hamilton will play Peter Pan and Hamill Mary Poppins....
Gene Hackman, who's now filming a feature called Power with Richard Gere and Julie Christie, plans to bow on Broadway later this year in a drama titled Precious Sons.
As everyone knows, professional wrestling has all the elements of a great cartoon except one, animation. Cleverly grasping that paradox—in a half nelson, perhaps—CBS has scheduled a fall Saturday morning kiddie show starring the likes and likenesses of Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant and Rowdy Roddy Piper. "The show will feature cartoon adventure segments followed by real wrestlers offering advice to kids—from a very positive standpoint, of course," says World Wrestling Federation ringleader Vince McMahon. "It will show the charismatic things that happen to wrestlers outside the ring." And what is the charismatic Hogan's favorite cartoon? "Oh man, let me think," he replied when asked that question. "Oh, well, Heckle and Jeckle. Yeah, man."

As North Korea edges closer to becoming a true nuclear power, it falls upon China to join the rest of the world in taking a definitive stand.
China, with much to lose if war starts in that part of the world, must act assertively to prevent its neighbor from becoming a nuclear threat.
North Korea is an unstable country, seemingly immune to sanctions. Under new leader Kim Jong-un, it is also a country that does not seem to care whether a percentage of its population starves as it pursues its nuclear ambitions.
The reaction to North Korea's third nuclear test was immediate. President Obama called it a "highly provocative act" demanding "swift and credible action by the international community." There was condemnation by Russia, Britain, South Korea and the United Nations.
North Korea ignored previous warnings about its nuclear and ballistic missile programs and will ignore the latest response unless China participates fully in economic sanctions.
China is North Korea's closest ally and has been reluctant to impose tough sanctions on its neighbor. As the Council on Foreign Relations recently noted, among its neighbors China has shown the greatest policy variability in response to the nuclear tests.
China's statements have included harsh criticism following a 2006 test and support later for a stronger-than-expected U.N. Security Council resolution condemning the tests. Then China turned around and launched a comprehensive engagement policy toward North Korea that included protection of the North from international condemnation.
Last month, China decided to support a U.N. Security Council resolution criticizing North Korea's December satellite launch.
Several hours after this latest nuclear test, China exhibited its indecisiveness once again by expressing "staunch opposition" to the test but calling for "all parties concerned to respond calmly."
Obama is expected to use his State of the Union address to call for drastically reducing nuclear arms around the world. In addition to that public track, Obama also needs to demonstrate to the Chinese that it is in their best interest not to have an unstable, nuclear-armed nation on their border.

Word Wall
Reading the ancient Dragon text inscribed upon these Word walls grants the Dragonborn the knowledge to utter the word that lets him Shout. Word walls are located throughout Skyrim. Even if you aren't aware of their locations, you can still hear their calling and the stirring in your blood when you're near one (the in-game music changes to the chanting you hear when you learn Words).
The Greybeards ln High Hrothgar can give you the location of all the Word walls. Or you can just view them in Word Wall Locations.

If you turned off your TV about halfway through the third quarter, I don't blame you at all. Not only was that some ugly, frustrating basketball, but you weren't even getting to watch the Thunder's best players play.
I'm not an NBA coach and I don't think I could win 50 games in that role. So I don't question Scott Brooks much. But it's hard not to wonder why Kevin Durant and Jeff Green only played two minutes and 46 seconds in the third quarter.
When the two checked out, Oklahoma City was down 60-54. The Thunder weren't playing well, but they were in the game. What was hurting OKC was the lack of any offensive rhythm. So when Durant and Green went to the bench with over nine minutes left in the third, it was curious. But you were thinking, "OK, quick blow here and they're coming back." Instead, they sat the remainder of the quarter.
And we watched the Thunder reserves meander along, hanging somewhat close before the Bulls eventually took over and pulled ahead by 16 going into the fourth, punctuated by a buzzer-beating 3 by Derrick Rose to end the quarter.
Of course Brooks could've had an issue with something Durant and Green were doing or maybe he simply wanted to rest two of the top minute players in the league on the second night of a back-to-back. There may have been a reason. But to sit them for virtually the entire quarter? I just don't get that. Customarily, Durant plays most of the third, checks out with a few minutes left and sits to start the fourth and checks back in with about nine minutes left. I guess Brooks wanted to try something different, and clearly, it didn't work.
Via Darnell Mayberry, Brooks' explanation: "We weren't playing well, and I tried to make a change and see if we could manufacture some more energy." I get that. But for nine straight minutes when it clearly wasn't working? Doesn't compute.
Green and Durant returned to begin the fourth and played the entire last period, but it was too late. The Thunder whittled the Chicago lead down to nine but the game was pretty much over already. OKC lost the game in the third, with Durant and Green sitting. Bad coaching move.
Losing on the second night of a back-to-back on the road against an Eastern contender isn't a big deal. Really, it was sort of expected. But the way it happened with it almost feeling like Brooks was willing to drop it in order to give his guys a rest isn't the best thing ever.
- Jeff Green though, didn't really have a huge reason to complain about the lack of minutes tonight though. He just couldn't hit a shot for anything (1-9 from the field). Sometimes that happens.
- Durant played a pretty nice game in his 33 minutes. He finished with 29 on just 7-18 shooting, but was 14-14 from the line.
- Russell Westbrook just didn't seem like himself either. He went for 15 points and dished out seven assists, but missed some easier looks and didn't have that same bounce all night. He turned it over six times and really, was just completely careless with the ball. He tried to do too much and as a result, the Thunder offense never found any rhythm.
- There was a bright spot though and that was Nenad Krstic who had a season-high 18 points on 8-12 shooting. He had it going early on hitting a few jumpers as well as a few dunks inside.
- The Thunder shot just 34 percent from the field. That's horrible. It was only as close as it was because they went 28-31 from the free throw line.
- The Bulls murdered the Thunder on the glass. The edge was 52-39, but it was worse than that. Chicago had a hand on nearly every defensive rebound OKC got. Like seriously, almost every one. Nothing ever came easy for the Thunder on the glass and a number of Chicago's points were off second chance putbacks.
- James Harden with 13 points, but again, 3-12 from the field. If he can figure out how to shoot a semi-decent percentage, he can averaged 15-18 points, easy.
- Carlos Boozer absolutely worked the Thunder tonight. He had 29 points and 12 rebounds. He was really the difference as Rose wasn't great (11 points on 3-13 shooting). Luol Deng made a difference too though with 19 points.
- Kyle Korver was in a shooting slump (only six for his last 27) so naturally he broke out of that tonight scoring 13 on 5-11 shooting.
- Serge Ibaka wasn't able to give OKC any kind of a spark either. He only played 15 minutes, had two rebounds and two points. I figured he would make a difference against the Bulls big interior players, but he was a total non-factor.
- After a no-call on a Jeff Green shot that airballed, Brian Davis said emphatically, "The ball doesn't lie." Obviously he's not familiar with the meaning of that phrase.
- One more: After OKC scored a bucket to cut the Bulls lead to 13, Grant Long said, "The comeback is on!" OKC was on a big 2-0 run when he said it.
- The Bulls defense deserves a lot of credit too. They swarmed and hounded OKC all night. The Bulls played harder. They played smarter. They executed, on both ends. They were just better than OKC in this one.
The most exciting moments of the second half came with a minute left because the Bulls were stuck on 99 points. And Chicago has one of those things were you get food if the team scores 100. But the Bulls turned it over three times, missed an easy one at the rim and ended up short. MORAL VICTORY FOR THE THUNDER!
But really, that was maybe the most lackluster game of the season. Even the blowouts to the Clippers and Jazz felt like they had a better flow and reason for the result. Ugly, ugly loss here. It almost felt kind of like Brooks knew his team was flat and was willing to pack it in and just finish out the night. Maybe some of the blame goes to the team for allowing the Warriors to push them when the game should've been over after three quarters. Maybe the team was just unfocused from the beginning. Or maybe it was just a bad, ugly game.
Probably a combination of the three.
Next up: At the Wolves Wednesday.

New York Academy of Sciences
7 World Trade Center, 40th floor
New York, NY
The U.S. scientific community has long led the world in research on such areas as public health, environmental science, and issues affecting quality of life. Our scientists have produced landmark studies on the dangers of DDT, tobacco smoke, acid rain, and global warming. But at the same time, a small yet potent subset of this community leads the world in vehement denial of these dangers.
This lecture tells the story of how a loose–knit group of high-level scientists and scientific advisors, with effective political connections, ran a series of campaigns to challenge well-established scientific knowledge over four decades. Remarkably, the same individuals surface repeatedly; some of the same figures who have claimed the science of global warming is "not settled" denied the truth of studies linking smoking to lung cancer, coal smoke to acid rain, and CFCs to the ozone hole. "Doubt is our product," wrote one tobacco executive. These "experts" supplied it. Here, I explain both how and why.
Naomi Oreskes (Ph.D., Stanford, 1990), is Professor of History and Science Studies at the University of California, San Diego; Adjunct Professor of Geosciences at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography; and the Provost of Sixth College. She is the author of The Rejection of Continental Drift (Oxford University Press, 1999); Merchants of Doubt,
forthcoming from Bloomsbury Press in June 2010 (with Erik M. Conway), and Science on a Mission: American Oceanography in the Cold War and Beyond, to be published by the University of Chicago Press, and the co-editor of Plate Tectonics: An Insider's History of the Modern Theory of the Earth (Westview Press, 2001).

In an otherwise dismal theater season, one of the brightest beacons on the New York stage is the shiny red knob of a nose belonging to a 36-year-old comedian in a one-man show, Avner the Eccentric. Eight times a week since September, Avner Eisenberg has taken the stage and juggled baseball bats, balanced an eight-foot ladder on his chin and executed elaborate pratfalls. Roughly one-third of the 90-minute performance is improvised, much of it with the help of the audience. "It hits them that they're the show," says Avner, "that the tables have been turned. It's nice to get them like that."
Eisenberg has been clowning since he was a boy in Atlanta. At 13, he and a friend formed a juggling act called the Throw-Ups. He resumed his theatrical career one rainy afternoon in college when he ran into the theater for cover. Auditions were being held for a play, and Eisenberg ended up with a small part. After studying with master mime Jacques LeCoq in Paris, he spent a nomadic decade performing in small theaters and comedy clubs around the U.S. Producer Jack Garfein caught Avner's act and decided that Eisenberg should take his show to New York.
Like many clowns, Avner is very serious about his craft. "Clowns are always thought to be children's entertainment," he says, "not good enough for adults." New York theatergoers clearly disagree.

Wednesday at 8 p.m., George Porter Jr. and his Runnin' Pardners will take the stage. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the day of the show. Doors will open at 7 p.m.
Porter is best known as the bassist of The Meters, along with Art Neville, Leo Nocentelli and Joseph Zigaboo Modeliste. The group, formed in the mid-'60s, came to be recognized as one of the progenitors of funk - then called R&B. The Meters disbanded in 1977, but reformed in 1989. Today, the original group still plays the occasional reunions but the Funky Meters, of which Porter and Neville are still members, most prominently keep the spirit alive.
Porter is also the band leader of his own unique long-term project, the Runnin' Pardners. He has assembled some seasoned and talented musicians to join him on this project - familiar Pardners Brint Anderson (guitar) and Michael Lemmler (keyboards), and rising stars Khris Royal (saxophone) and Terrence Houston (drums).

Simple Food, Big Flavor: Unforgettable Mexican-inspired Recipes from My Kitchen to Yoursby Aaron Sanchez J. J. Goode
You've seen him on the Food Network's Chopped, Chefs vs. City, and Heat Seekers. You've savored his lovingly prepared dishes at Centrico in New York City. Now, with Simple Food, Big Flavor, award-winning restaurateur Aarón Sánchez brings the amazing tastes and aromas found in his kitchen to yours. Aarón Sánchez's passion for food has placed him among the country's leading contemporary Latin chefs. He has earned a premiere spot in the world of culinaria, introducing an enthusiastic national audience to his technique and creativity with modern interpretations of classic Latin cuisine. In Simple Food, Big Flavor, rather than over-whelming readers with complex, intimidating dishes, he starts small, showing how one simple but fabulous "base" recipe can become many fantastic dishes. Take Garlic-Chipotle Love, a blend of roasted garlic, canned chipotles in adobo, cilantro, and lime zest that keeps in the fridge for weeks or in the freezer for months. Once you make it, you're just a few steps away from delicious dishes like Chipotle-Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Bean and Butternut Squash Picadillo, and Mussels with Beer and Garlic-Chipotle Love. And that's just the beginning. Sánchez features fifteen of these flavor base recipes, including Roasted Tomato Salsa, Cilantro-Cotija Pesto, and homemade Dulce de Leche. He even shares his plan of attack for making the perfect mole and how to team it up with roasted Cornish game hens, turkey enchiladas, and the ultimate crowd pleaser, braised beef short ribs. He then provides detailed yet easy tips for applying each sauce to everyday meals, whether you spread it on hamburgers, turn it into a marinade for easy grilled chicken, or stir in a little oil and lime for salad dressing with a kick. With his warm and engaging style, Sánchez equips home cooks with the skills and knowledge they need to come up with their own simple, flavorful meals every night of the week. Your kitchen will be en fuego! As Sánchez says, your food will go from inspiring smiles and polite nods to igniting ridiculous grins and bear hugs. Enjoy!

Junonia lemonias
|Lemon pansy
|Wet season, upperside
|Wet season, underside
|Scientific classification
|J. lemonias
|Binomial name
|Junonia lemonias
(Linnaeus, 1758)
Junonia lemonias, the lemon pansy, is a common nymphalid butterfly found in South Asia. It is found in gardens, fallow land, and open wooded areas.
It is brown with numerous eye-spots as well as black and lemon-yellow spots and lines on the upperside of the wings. The underside is a dull brown, with a number of wavy lines and spots in varying shades of brown and black. There is also an eyespot on the lower side of the forewing. The wet and dry season forms differ considerably in coloration and even shape. In the wet season form the markings are distinct and vivid and the wing shape is a little more rounded. In the dry season form the markings are obscure and pale especially on the underside and the wing margin is more angular and jagged. This helps it camouflage in the dried leaf-litter. The lemon pansy is a very active butterfly and can be seen basking with its wings open facing the sun. It sits very low to the ground and can be approached easily. It feeds with its wings half open. It is a fairly strong flier and flies close to the ground with rapid wingbeats and often returns to settle back in the same spots.
Life cycle[edit]
Eggs are laid singly on the underside of leaves. The egg is green and barrel-shaped with longitudinal ridges.
The caterpillar is cylindrical, uniformly thick and covered with rows of spines which are branched at the tip. It is dull black with a faint blue sheen and has dorsal stripe of a darker color. There is a distinct orange ring behind the head. The caterpillar stays on the underside of the leaf and if disturbed, rolls up and drops to the ground.
Pupation takes place in dense foliage close to the ground. The pupa is compact, with small conical processes on its rough surface. The pupa is well camouflaged with varying shades of brown with fine streaks and lines.
Caterpillars feed on plants from the families Acanthaceae, Amaranthaceae, Malvaceae, Rubiaceae, Tiliaceae and Verbenaceae. Recorded species include Alternanthera sessilis, Barleria cristata, Barleria prionitis, Blechum pyramidatum, Cannabis sativa, Corchorus capsularis, Dyschoriste repens, Eranthemum pulchellum, Hemigraphis schomburgkii, Hygrophila auriculata, Hygrophila costata, Hygrophila lancea, Lepidagathis formosensis, Lepidagathis incurva, Nelsonia canescens, Ophiorrhiza japonica, Phyla nodiflora, Ruellia tuberosa, Sida rhombifolia, and Strobilanthes formosanus.[1]

Medical device M&A activity remains steady
The number of mergers and acquisitions in the medical device sector has been steady over the past three and a half years, according to research and publishing firm Irving Levin Associates' new report The Medical Device Acquisition Report, Second Edition, 2012.
[Also: Healthcare M&A dips in Q3 2012 but is not cause for panic]
During the period covered in the report (January 2009 through June 2012), the medical device M&A market accounted for 632 transactions. The 88 deals announced in the first half of 2012 amount to about 14 percent of those deals, a level of activity that is on target to match or exceed the average number of deals transacted in each of the previous three years.
Comparing the number of transactions that were announced in the first six months of 2012 (88) to those announced in the comparable period in 2011 (89), the level of activity appears to be stable. The current year is on track to at least meet the 173 deals announced in all of 2011, according to the report.
The dollar value for transactions for the first half of 2011 was $48.15 billion compared to $14.9 billion for the first half of 2012. The drop in dollar value was primarily due to a $21 billion transaction in April 2011. However, dollar volume for the first half of 2012 exceeded the $13.9 billion reported for the entire year of 2009.
[Also: M&A: What is driving the market?]
Medical device M&A dipped in the third quarter of 2012 compared to earlier in the year, but it has since rebounded nicely, said Steve Monroe, partner at Irving Levin Associates.
"We are not quite sure why the volume of medical device M&A dropped so much in the third quarter, other than the usual summer slowdown, concerns about the European debt crisis and our own uncertainty with regard to the ... elections," said Monroe. "That said, in October, healthcare M&A volume across the board spiked up, and there were 12 medical device deals announced, compared with 19 in the third quarter."
Although Monroe is optimistic about the future of medical device M&A activity, he believes the uncertainty surrounding the implementation of the Affordable Care Act may slow growth in the sector in the short term.
"As 2013 plays out, especially with regard to getting ready for full implementation of (the) ACA in 2014, we will begin to see the outlines of the healthcare delivery system, and the players will begin to line up to make sure they are well positioned for it. One way will be through acquisitions, but we don't really know about the timing. It does appear, however, that deal sizes in the near term will be smaller as buyers will not want to risk too much without knowing the new rules of the game," said Monroe.
