Class A NOTEBOOK
Retired Velva wrestling coach Cy Kittelson and referee David Rochholz were two of the 2013 North Dakota Wrestling Hall of Fame inductees introduced on Saturday.
Kittelson began his storied wrestling career at Velva in 1979 and recorded three Class B team championships while producing 27 individual state champions.

Carrington senior Cordell Schroeder works from the top against Bishop Ryan's Mason Kramer during their 285-pound state championship match at the Class B state tournament Saturday at the Fargodome. Schroeder pinned Kramer with 10 seconds remaining in the third period to improve to 46-1 and finish undefeated against North Dakota opponents.
Velva also won 14 straight region titles during his regime.
"It's exciting," Kittelson said of the award. "It's a great honor. As a former wrestler and coach you always remember the matches you should have won. Now that I'm awarded this it reminds me of all the good times I had."
Rochholz, a longtime Minot resident, retired after the 2008-09 season. Up until that point, though, he'd officiated the most prominent wrestling tournaments in the prep, junior college and NAIA ranks.
He was named the North Dakota wrestling official of the year in 2000-01.
"I feel very honored to be recognized," Rochholz said. "I have to thank my family for being so patient when I was gone all those nights and weekends. This is a very humbling experience."
Haaland takes third for Williston
Williston 182-pounder Alex Haaland had the best weekend for the Coyotes, placing third.
Haaland (27-13) defeated Turtle Mountain's Brandon Rodriguez in an oh-so-close 7-6 decision on Saturday afternoon in the third-place match.
Halaand's only loss of the tournament was to nationally-ranked state champion and North Dakota State-bound Preston Lehmann (48-0) of West Fargo.
Brandon Sandberg (220) took fourth for the Coyotes while Anthony Mann (heavyweight) and Markus Noeske (170) placed seventh.
Williston finished 14th in the team standings.
Turtle Mountain places four
Turtle Mountain had four of its wrestlers reach the podium.
The Braves were led by Brandon Rodriquez (182), who made it to the third-place match before being edged by Williston's Alex Haaland by a 7-6 decision.
Eugene Fleetwood (138) and Grant Laducer finished the tournament with fifth-place medals for Turtle Mountain, which finished 10th in the team standings.
Waylon Decoteau (220) finished sixth.
All four grapplers are underclassmen.

Class B NOTEBOOK
Schroeder tops Kramer for title
While Bishop Ryan senior Mason Kramer was hoping to pull the ultimate upset, Cordell Schroeder had a second state title, a stout record and a first-time feat on his.
Schroeder scored a takedown in each period to lead 6-0 before pinning Kramer with 10 seconds remaining in the Class B heavyweight championship match. Schroeder, who also won at 220 last year, finished 46-1 including an unbeaten mark against North Dakota opponents. His only loss was a 5-2 setback to nationally ranked Michael Burckhardt of Coon Rapids, Minn.
More importantly, Schroeder became the first heavyweight champion in Carrington's tradition-rich program.
"It feels extremely awesome," Schroeder said. "My dad wrestled heavyweight back in the day and he was never able to quite make it to state. It's an unbelievable feeling."
It was bittersweet for Schroeder, who will head to the North Dakota State College of Science for football in the fall.
"I thought I was ready to be done, but I was telling my family and a couple teammates that it's kind of sad knowing I'll never wrestle in the (Fargodome) ever again," he said.
Schroeder proved to be too much for Kramer, a first-year wrestler who made it all the way to the finals while learning the sport on the go. Kramer finished 20-3.
Carrington had another state champion in freshman Walker Carr, who upended Justin Thomas of Des Lacs-Burlington by 10-4 decision in the 132-pound final. Carr had previously lost to Thomas on a reversal in the final seconds earlier this season.
"I really tried to get my stance down," Carr said. "Get my hands down and get ready for some head blocks and good sprawls. I was definitely ready for that."
Carrington finished third with 143.5 points, getting nine state-placers.
South Border took the team competition with 195 points thanks to 12 state-placers and one state champion in Blake Bosch, who won his third title and got his state-record 240th win. He was named Class B senior athlete of the year for his efforts.
Linton-Hazelton-Moffit-Braddock co-coaches Dan Imdieke and Bruce Hase won their respective state award as voted on by their peers.
Other placers
A number of other area athletes took home state placings:
Third - Brad Ladwig (113, fr.) of Stanley-Powers Lake-Tioga-Ray, Billy Holtan (145, fr.) of Carrington and Abraham Roehrich (170), sr.) of Stanley-Powers Lake-Tioga-Ray.
Fourth - Carson Koble (132, soph.) of Harvey-Wells County.
Fifth - Matthew Neumiller (106, soph.) of Carrington, Keenan Kvamme (120, fr.) of Carrington, Evan Mellmer (182, jr.) of Beulah-Hazen and Austin Schuldheisz (195, sr.) of Carrington.
Sixth - Aaron Sandy (106, fr.) of Bishop Ryan, Rhett Wolter (138, sr.) of Stanley-Powers Lake-Tioga-Ray and Dylan Morin (182, jr.) of Rugby.
Seventh - Jade Heppner (106, fr.) of Watford City, Bryce Carr (133, fr.) of Carrington, Riley Lura (152, fr.) of Carrington, Joe Nelson (160, sr.) of Watford City and Alex Giese (170, soph.) of Kenmare-Bowbells.
Eighth - Tyrel Mellmer (106, eighth) of Beulah-Hazen, Josh Snyder (120, fr.) of Beulah-Hazen, Cole Peterson (126, jr.) of Des Lacs-Burlington, Logan Eisenbeis (138, sr.) of Beulah-Hazen, Brett Lyman (160, fr.) of Carrington and Benjamin Collupy (285, sr.) of Stanley-Powers Lake-Tioga-Ray.

The Jamestown Community College women's volleyball team showed it has strength in lack of numbers.
Last weekend the Jayhawks went to the NJCAA Region 3 Division III Tournament with only seven players and came home with the title.
JCC lost only two games in pool play, its first two to Erie CC, and the second-seeded Jayhawks swept three games in the semifinals and three more in the finals.

Jamestown Community College women's volleyball coach Ashley Lund sets the ball during a recent practice as her Jayhawks prepare to play in the NJCAA Division III National Tournament next week.
P-J photo by Jim Riggs
''They (Erie) were the seventh seed and to come out of the gate and to lose two to them and come back and win one and to expect them to play the way they did the rest of the day, I didn't think (it could happen),'' coach Ashley Lund said.
And what were her thoughts after the first two pool play losses?
''It's just not our day,'' she said. ''Today is not our day and we had a good run.''
Suddenly the run continued and the Jayhawks are headed to the national tournament in Minnesota next week.
''I think it was a little bit of a wake-up call,'' Lund said about the opening two losses. ''Like hey, the end of the season is knocking on our door right now and if we don't step it up, we're done, that's it.''
But she added Sunday night after the team returned home, ''They came to play today.''
The Jayhawks, even though there weren't many, came to play all season. Lund, a former JCC player, had been the head coach for six seasons when she missed 2011 while on a maternity leave. When she returned for 2012, there were only seven players awaiting her - sophomores Anna Nietupski, Kelsey Kyser and Brittany Brace, and freshmen Kali Beardsley, Alysha Frisch-LoPiano, Christina Rauh and Aricca Lis. So did she ever imagine they could win a regional championship?
''I mean it's always a possibility and I always think that regionals are a chance for us, but with seven players in this region and how tough it is, I didn't necessarily think we could do it,'' Lund admitted.
''She really came back behind the 8-ball because she didn't have her athletes that she had recruited, so she really came into 'Here's what I have, let's do it,'' said Kathy Stedman, who coached women's volleyball at JCC for 18 seasons and made five straight trips to the national tournament. ''And she has that kind of mindset. She's not a coach who goes out there and gives you a whole bunch of excuses about why she can't win. She just goes out and 'This is what I have and this is what we'll do' and then she wins.''
And that's what Lund told opposing coaches when they questioned the size of her squad.
''They asked why I had such a small team and I just said this is what I've ended up with, this is my team,'' she said. ''And I couldn't ask for a better group of seven. They're hard working. I don't have to worry about them. I know when they go to warm up, they're warming up. They're not screwing around.''
Lund noted that having only seven in a match is somewhat of an advantage.
''It is easy because you don't have to worry about the subbing, but my one sub, when she went in she did her job,'' she said. ''The six that are on the floor most of the time, they knew how to work with each other. They knew every move that the other person was going to make because they've been on the floor that much together. They didn't have to second guess what somebody else was doing. They knew.''
But not only is the Jayhawks' roster small, but the team is also small in stature. The tallest player is Brace at 6 feet.
''We're small in numbers and we're small in size,'' Lund said. ''We're not a big team and we're not a powerhouse. We just do things right. They listen and when (assistant coach) Lauren (Beichner) and I tell them to do things or change things, they do it and they see the results so they keep doing it.''
When asked if it is more surprising that the team had success despite lack of numbers or lack of size, Stedman said, ''Both. They're just a scrappy team. They're just great athletes.''
And with only seven players, an injury could have been devastating. So how many did the Jayhawks have?
''We didn't have any,'' Lund said. ''That is amazing, for them to fight through this year and all those games and not to come up with an injury was incredible.''
With only seven players, it could have been difficult to practice, but Lund and Beichner also overcame that.
''Coach and I practiced a lot,'' Lund said. ''We played with them a lot. We'd bring some former players in to play and some friends. We'd get whoever we could to scrimmage.''
But she noted there weren't many scrimmages.
''A lot of it was just drills,'' Lund said. ''Though that's boring and meticulous, it works.''
It also makes an impact to see the coaches doing what the players are asked to do.
''I think that sinks in a little bit when Coach is throwing herself on the floor or I'm making a play,'' Lund said. ''They're like, 'They can actually play.' I think that shows them it's not just us saying stuff to them and acting like we know it. It kind of shows we've been there and we know what we have to do.''
Stedman is not surprised her former player pulled it off and won a berth in the national tournament.
''Number one, she's an incredible person and an exceptional coach,'' she said. ''And she's come through this program, so she knows what's it's like to be competitive and how to win and she knows how to get the best out of each kid that she had so that's why she's succeeded. It's a small group, but she pulled everything that they had to give her out there and they win.''
She added, ''I think personalities and athletic talent meshed with her style. They peaked right at the right time.''
Stedman had to coach a squad of seven once. And how did they do?
''That's when we were struggling to get out of the region,'' she said with a smile.
The 2012 Jayhawks are out of the region and will be heading to Minnesota next week to make JCC's seventh appearance in the national tournament.
''It's a great story, it really is,'' Lund said. ''Seven girls taking regional finals in Region 3 out of 19 teams.''

GLASSBORO — From Luxembourg to Little Rock, the New Jersey state finals of the National Geographic Bee at Rowan University had middle school students racking their brains to identify cities, states and countries from all over the world.
Bringing students from across the state, about 100 middle schoolers competed for a chance to be the one representing the state of New Jersey at the 25th annual National Geographic Bee in Washington, D.C.
After surviving the preliminary, final and championship rounds, William DiGrande of Warren, N.J. took home first place and the opportunity to compete for the national title in May.
While the competition was mostly dominated by northern New Jersey students, South Jersey still had a strong showing with two Washington Township students making it to a sudden death preliminary round to determine who would go on to the final round.
Daniel Cooper and Jason Thorpe, both eighth graders from Washington Township, were eliminated in the particularly challenging sudden death round that really pushed students to the brink of their international knowledge.
Daniel said that he started becoming interested in geography through watching and reading the news. He said that once he started to learn about international news he felt as though he should do what he could to learn about the continents located on the opposite side of the Atlantic.
While he said it started as somewhat of a casual interest, it eventually led to him standing next to some of the smartest students in the state when it comes to geography.
"There are some kids who walked off really disappointed and I was just glad to have made it as far as I did," said Daniel.
Jason had a similar outlook on it as he was just happy to have the chance to compete.
The Washington Township local said that he had actually become interested in the topic because of his love for history.
"You have to know the land to understand the history," said Jason.
But even as they respectfully bowed out after being eliminated, Jason said it's a bit disheartening not to have a local from South Jersey representing the state in the national finals.
Pointing at a map that shows where all the finalist for the state competition are from, Jason said, "I mean, if you look at this map there's only like 11 students from South Jersey.
Even with the relatively small turnout from the region, the two middle school students said that they would continue to compete in regional competitions and hope that a fellow student from the area could move on to the national finals next year.

MUSKEGON -- They may not be ready for prime time.
Internet links to DW-TV's "Discover Germany" Web page can be found at www.muskegoncc.edu. Select "Resources/MCC TV/ Programming Schedule.
But a group of Muskegon Community College students and faculty will be featured on a TV program that will be broadcast worldwide on Monday.
The MCC group is featured on the weekly program "Discover Germany," which is produced by German-based Deutsche-Welle-TV. The MCC segment will air at 7:30 and 11 a.m., and 6:30 and 11:30 p.m. on the U.S. DISH Network and Muskegon cable channel MCC-98, accessible locally to Comcast subscribers.
For the past decade, MCC has participated in a staff/student exchange program with its sister college, Kaufmannische Schule in Stuttgart, Germany, said Kathy Tosa, MCC's coordinator of international programs.
The annual trip includes home-stay accommodations, visits to local businesses and factories and cultural sites and events. MCC's annual May trip is followed with a reciprocal visit to Muskegon by German students and faculty in June.
"What I've noticed with the students I take is that most students have never been out of the U.S.," Tosa said. "It's an eye-opening experience for them.
"They get to see that people have different customs and traditions but also realize how much we are alike and share common goals and aspirations."
Part of the MCC trip was documented by the German TV company, which joined the students and faculty at several stops on their trip.
MCC students Nathan Derks, Gary Hoag, Wilhelmina Korpi, Joshua Pickel, Kirbay Preuss, Christopher Pollock and Keegan Richards participated in the trip. They were accompanied by MCC instructors Harry Brown, Margitta Rose, Duane Schecter and Tosa.

The classic Steven Sondheim musical "Into The Woods" puts us intimately into the hearts and backstories of some of our most beloved fairytales. Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and countless others, take center stage, to elaborate on the stories we only think we know. Twisted and darker truths are revealed, as told through clever and original music.
The wonderful musical is getting a new adaptation, under the command of Rob Marshall. Johnny Depp, who worked with Marshall at the helm of "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", has joined the cast as the big bad wolf. Multiple Academy Award winning icon, Meryl Streep, is also signed on to play the evil witch. The witch seamlessly ties all the stories together and is a consistent in almost every scene.
Now, it looks like two other hot actors in Hollywood may also be joining the twisted fairytale film adaptation. Chris Pine from "Star Trek" fame, as well as Jake Gyllenhaal, are in talks to join the cast. The roles the gents would be up for are Cinderella and Rapunzel's princes, which certainly both demand a healthy, singing voice.
Marshall lead a read through of James Lapine's adapted screenplay and a bunch of big names in both theater as well as the big-screen participated. Such names and roles they read for include Nina Arianda as The Baker's Wife, Christine Baranski as the Stepmother, Tammy Blanchard as Florinda, Victoria Clark as Cinderella's Mother/Giant, James Corden as the Baker, David Garrison as the Narrator, Ivan Hernandez as the Wolf, Megan Hilty as Lucinda, Cheyenne Jackson as Rapunzel's Prince, Allison Janney as Jack's Mother, Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Michael McGrath as the Steward/Baker's Father, Donna Murphy as the Witch, Laura Osnes as Rapunzel, Taylor Trensch as Jack, Casey Whyland as Little Red Riding Hood, and Patrick Wilson as Cinderella's Prince.
We aren't sure how many of these names will actually be in the film version, but it's an impressive list nonetheless.
Marshall is no stranger to leading successful film musicals, as he proved with his multi-academy award winning "Chicago", starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger.

Everyone seems to be talking about the WWE Championship match at Hell in a Cell, this coming Sunday, on pay per view. It will showcase CM Punk defending his title against Ryback and man, has it been raising a lot of questions and concerns amongst the fans. While it's not the most popular streak in WWE (I think we all know who I'm talking about), Ryback's un-defeated run has not gone unnoticed and has dramatically picked up over the past couple months. What started out as a typical series of handicap squash matches against two skinny dudes who loved poetry has turned into a storyline that has many fans, including me, chanting "feed me more!"
For those that don't know, the original plan wasn't for Ryback to be in that number one contender's spot. It was supposed to be Cena in a rematch from last month's Night of Champions main event but Cena got injured. Since officials didn't know if Cena would be ready to compete by Hell in a Cell, they waited as long as they possibly could to announce who the no. 1 contender would be. We were two weeks away from a major pay per view and, for promotional purposes, WWE couldn't wait any longer. Cena, you're out, Ryback, you're in. My jaw dropped. Actually.
One could call this a streak vs. streak match. CM Punk has held the WWE Championship since November of last year, one of the longest title reigns in recent history. Ryback has been undefeated since his debut with his new character in April 2012. How can they end this match without controversy? I know what you're thinking. Disqualification? No can do, amigo. This match will take place inside Hell in a Cell where anything goes and there are no disqualifications.
When I think of undefeated streaks in wrestling, the first name that comes to my mind is Goldberg. And according to the infamous crowd chants whenever Ryback is on WWE TV, it's apparent that I'm not alone. Ryback is a modern attempt at creating a Goldberg character. At first, I didn't think it would work. Slowly but surely, however, the fans, including me, were getting more and more into it. Ryback moved on from defeating no names to mid carders like Dolph Ziggler and the Miz. Will he ever be on the same level as Goldberg? That's not even a question. Wrestling as a whole isn't on the same level as it was when Goldberg's streak was in it's prime. If you still don't know what Im getting at, it's a no. But can Ryback elevate himself to become a top name in the company? Without a doubt, he can.
Realistically speaking, should Ryback be getting a WWE Championship match this early? Absolutely not. In fact, if this match with Punk isn't done right, it could very well ruin his character and future popularity. The question has been asked, who's streak is more important? Punk's or Ryback's? I'm probably going to get hell for this one… Ryback should defeat CM Punk for the WWE Championship this Sunday at Hell in a Cell and end his near year long title reign. Yes, it'll piss off the internet crowd. But guess what, those guys will always come back because let's face it, they're addicted and so am I. Ryback has been getting major pop and the "feed me more" chant has been getting the live crowd on their feet. He's selling T shirts and is an incredibly marketable character. Punk will be at the top, no matter what, but there's a lot more on the line for Ryback and a hard-fought victory here will likely launch him into superstardom.
Thanks for reading.

The Ugli Stick spent a month performing at U.S. bases throughout the Middle East
Tim Stanton, drummer for The Ugli Stick, has a memory of standing in the darkness of Bagram Air Base, a U.S. outpost in Afghanistan. The first spark of daylight was imminent; stars were still visible above.
Guitarist Dale Drinkard, thinking of the same moment, remembered the absolute still quietness of that last instant before dawn. "Not a cricket," he said.
And then, as Stanton writes in his tour diary, "all of a sudden I hear a Muslim man begin to sing on a loud P.A. system across the base. Then dozens of voices across the base join in with the voice on the loudspeakers. It is the Islamic prayer, it happens 6 times a day. It sounded so haunting that morning, as the sun just started to reach its hands across the desert's face. It was so wonderful. Then as the sun began to rise, we finally get to see that the natural defense of Bagram is its location. It is surrounded on all sides by breathtakingly beautiful mountain ranges. We had never seen them before because the weather was so bad. When we could not leave Jbad, Jalalabad, Afghanistan, site of another U.S. base they said it was because of the pilots saying we couldn't see the mountains. And our response was, 'What Mountains?' Now we could see them in all their glory."
"That prayer seemed like it was the sun itself coming over the mountains," Drinkard said.
Obviously, this was no ordinary tour. And this was one of many moments that drove home to the band just how far from home they were.
Last year The Ugli Stick cm MDSH a rock band founded in Mobile eight years ago cm MDSH was selected by Armed Forces Entertainment to play the agency's Southwest Asia circuit, which spans Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Djibouti and Kyrgyzstan.
From early February through early March, the quartet traveled from base to base, playing for American military personnel and getting a taste of their living conditions. To say it was rewarding would be an understatement.
"To me it's the single most validating thing I've ever done in my whole career," said vocalist Eric Erdman.
It was also, they say, the most demanding thing they've ever done. The initial voyage took well over 30 hours, as the band took a series of planes from Birmingham to Atlanta to Stuttgart to Istanbul to Manas Air Base in Kyrgyzstan.
Also along for the ride was Bobby Harvey, the regular sound man at Dauphin Street club Grand Central, who'd cleared his calendar to work as the band's tour manager and sound man. "We couldn't have done it without him," Stanton said.
At Manas, the band began to get a feel for the daily lives of American service personnel cm MDSH which had some of the comforts of home, but also some significant restrictions.
Stanton's tour journal includes his impression of the place the band would play its first gig: "It's called Pete's Place. It's open 24 hours, it has TV with DVDs, darts, bingo, and a 2-drink MAXIMUM for all soldiers on base. That's right, MAXIMUM. They have beers called 5, 7, and 9. They are called that because that's the percentage of alcohol content in the beers. Some guys get their two drinks and immediately start their watches to make sure they get their two drinks precisely 24 hours later. Nice!"
The band lost power partway through the show but carried on. Afterward, meeting their audience, they realized just how much their entertainment was appreciated.
Stanton wrote: "We meet all the airmen and sign a lot of CDs and shake a lot of hands. That's what this was all about. It was such an amazing experience. It truly set the bar extremely high for the rest of the tour. We get a standing ovation and when the applause died down, a colonel with the base presented us with a base coin. These are an extremely huge honor. No band had been given the coin up to then and it was an extremely humbling and emotional moment for us. It was the perfect end to the perfect night."
Band members said their strongest impression, throughout the tour, was of the quality and dedication of American service personnel. They weren't necessarily happy to be where they were, bassist Quentin Berry said, but they were always positive about their work.
"They were in bad situations daily, even more than I anticipated ... yet they're still upbeat and proud to be doing what they're doing," said vocalist Eric Erdman.
"It was difficult to take the compliments," Drinkard said. After all, the band was just doing what it does three or four nights a week; it was there to show appreciation, not to soak it up.
"They'd give us standing ovations, and we'd give them standing ovations," said Stanton.
Berry said he was particularly impressed by the number of high-ranking women he encountered.
"They're in charge," he said. "They're running some stuff."
"I was struck by how culturally diverse and well-rounded our military was," Drinkard said.
Drinkard and Erdman said they were impressed by the amount of rebuilding work they saw the armed forces doing. Berry added that in many cases rebuilders work at risk of taking casualties, because the work makes them more exposed than troops fully engaged in combat.
Soldiers felt the folks back home didn't always get that side of the story, band members said. Stanton also recalled the frustration of a sergeant in Jalalabad as he took the band on a tour:
"We get to see a Taliban Jail, an Afghani Military Base, and just beyond the horizon a mountain range and beyond that Pakistan," Stanton writes in his journal. "Sgt. Johnson tells us that this is the 'Forgotten War.' That men and women die every day in Afghanistan and because of the conflicts going on in Iraq, that it gets no coverage. We see outside the fences to the base, young Afghani children who throw rocks at the helicopters that make runs every day to engage the enemy in the mountains. We also hear that the Taliban hates to fight in the cold. Dale and I found that a bit strange. Dedication to a cause to the death ... unless it's cold."
The tour was full of unexpected novelties, Stanton said, like the time he looked up at the bottom of an upper bunk bed and noticed the words "Bo Bice cm MDSH '08" written there. Or, on a flight from Bahrain to Dubai, sharing a commercial plane with two teams of high-school-age girls on their way to a soccer tournament, young people seemingly just as high-spirited as their American counterparts cm MDSH right down to an epic pillow fight aboard the plane.
It also left them with impressions that ranged from the poverty of Afghanistan to the incredible wealth of Dubai and the Emirates. On both sides of that divide, there were places they'd love to visit as tourists in peacetime, they said.
"The entire country of Afghanistan is amazing," Drinkard said, singling out the Bagram valley. "It looked like something from 'The Sound of Music.' I was like, 'This is Afghanistan?'"
"If we sell about 10 million records, or downloads or whatever it is now, I'd go back to Dubai," said Erdman. "But you better have deep pockets before you roll up in there."
Band members feel the tour helped the group grow. It exposed them to thousands of new listeners, some of whom have been following up on The Ugli Stick's Web site (www.theuglistick.com) and MySpace page. (Stanton has posted much of his tour journal in full at www.myspace.com/theuglistick; when he's finished, Erdman may follow suit.)
Needless to say, it was a confidence builder.
"It tells me, we can go anywhere and people will like the band," Berry said. "It just keeps telling me that there's nothing we can't do."
And on a more personal level, he said, he got to live out a dream he's had since watching televised USO specials as a kid.
"I got a chance to do what Bob Hope did," Berry said.
Band members said they recommend the experience to any other group. Seeing how much music can mean to people is "soul gratification," Drinkard said.
For now, the band is back to its regular touring schedule, plus some rehearsal time to bring a few new songs into the mix. But they're already looking forward to late June, when they leave on another monthlong AFE tour.
This time they'll be heading out to the Pacific circuit. Possible stops include Japan, Okinawa, Korea, Guam, Alaska, Singapore, Kwajalein (Marshall Islands), Diego Garcia (British Indian Ocean Territory) and Australia, according to AFE.

Art doesn't have to be stuffy and pretentious. In "Unlikely Pairs: Fun With Famous Works of Art" by Bob Raczka, kids can look at famous works of art from different eras in a playful, funny, new way. Each layout pairs two famous works, often in different styles, creating a new perspective. In one, a sculpture of an archer is paired with a modern painting of a target; another has a man holding a skull paired with "The Scream," the famous painting by Edvard Munch. Each pair invites the viewer to look a little closer at the works and consider their relationship to each other, usually producing a different meaning than that of each original on its own.
Another good title to share with kids is "Look! Look! Look! at Sculpture" by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace, which would be great to read just before a trip to an art museum or gallery.
For art projects in varying styles, from printmaking to painting, try "Art Lab for Kids" by Susan Schwake. It will cure even the most stubborn case of artist's block and start you on your way to creating fun projects in no time.
For even more ideas, visit the library's digital branch and try out the Hobbies and Crafts Reference Center database. With a whole section outlining craft projects just for kids, you can find instructions for everything from learning to read a knitting pattern to capturing memories in a handmade scrapbook.
Check out other creative titles from your library to inspire the artist in your little one!

Defense has rested in case against Derrick Adamson
ABU Battlers dominate Firebirds
PHILIPPI – Alderson Broaddus (3-4, 0-0 G-MAC) had no trouble avenging an earlier season non-conference loss to the University of the District of Columbia Wednesday at Rex Pyles Arena, defeating the Firebirds in dominating fashion, 95-65.
In a game played in Washington on Nov. 20, UDC (1-4, 0-1 East Coast Conference) clipped the Battlers by one, 78-77.
This contest started close as well, with the Firebirds holding a slight advantage. Steals by UDC's Reggie Sidbury and Quasim Jones helped the visitors to stay just ahead of AB until the 12:58 mark, when Adam Kline made a layup to put the Battlers up for good at 18-16.
Three pointers from Ali Bilal and Ron Miller gave AB its first significant lead, of six points at 24-18.
The lead just kept extending as the hosts began to control the boards, which led to more opportunities and some easy put-back baskets on the offensive end.
AB held an 18-point advantage at the half, 50-32.
Point guard Tatum Malcolm drove the lane for a layup in the first minute after intermission to push the lead to 20, and the rout was on.
Richard Lemon hit a jumper for 59-34 at 17:10 of the second half and AB got its first 30-point advantage at 67-37 on another layup by Kline with 14:28 remaining.
The Battlers enjoyed their largest margin, 37 points, with nine minutes left and AB started substituting freely until the horn sounded with the final 95-65 score.
Tatum led the way with 21 points as four AB players reached double figures. Kline followed with 19 and also pulled down 18 rebounds for a double-double, and Bilal and Lemon had 12 points each.
As a team, Alderson Broaddus shot 52.9 percent from the field and was 12-14 from the line for a 85.7 percent rate.
The home team also had a huge advantage on the glass, out-rebounding the visitors 51-17, including an amazing 21 offensive caroms.
Lenjo Kilo, Clenso Brannon and Jones led UDC with 16, 13, and 11 points respectively.
The Battlers travel to Petersburg, Va., to take on Virginia State University Saturday at 4 p.m.
After that they return home to face West Virginia Wesleyan College in the annual Gold Rush game on Wednesday, Dec. 11, at 7:30 p.m.

Here's how the film is described at IMDB:
Last Fourth of July, teenager Christy Bruce disappeared from a high school beach party. Her severed arm washed ashore a day later. Drunken sea captain Blaise Shaw became a hero to the small seaside community of Harmony after killing the great white shark that was deemed responsible, but the Christy Bruce murder was no shark attack. Blaise turns to ghost hunter Ava Conte, who is skeptical but intrigued by his ghost shark ramblings. With preparations for a massive July 4th celebration rapidly approaching, they soon find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy of sex and murder involving the town's wealthiest and most powerful citizens. Unprepared to contend with a Ghost Shark that can hunt on land, sea, as well as anywhere there is enough water or rain to sustain its phantom form, Blaise and Ava must uncover the truth about the towns dark past or fall victim to the Ghost Shark. Written by Syfy
But that's not at all the plot of the finished film. There is no Christy Bruce character and Ava is not a ghost hunter, she's a teenager. Here's my plot description from Sunday's review:
Beyond the title character, the film's lead players are sisters Ava (Mackenzie Rosman, who played little Ruthie Camden on "7th Heaven") and Cicely (Sloane Coe) and their friend, Blaise (Dave Randolph-Mayhem Davis). The girls' father is killed in the initial Ghost Shark attack and they're the only ones at first who believe in Ghost Shark along with town drunk/lighthouse keeper Finch (Richard Moll, who played bailiff Bull on "Night Court").
I tried to get a Syfy publicist to explain the discrepancy but he never responded. "Ghost Shark" also contains an odd crediting. The credits on the screener I was sent say the film was written by Paul A. Birkett but then it also says it was "written and directed" by C.E. Furst.
This seems like an impossibility: How can one movie have two writers? My theory: Birkett took the first whack at the script and came up with the story that's described on the IMDB page; Furst re-conceived and re-wrote it into what actually happens in the completed film.

On January 22, 2014, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Administrative Law Judge Cameron Elliot levied sanctions pursuant to SEC Rule of Practice 102(e) against the Chinese affiliates of the "Big Four" accounting firms ("the Firms") for violating Section 106(e) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Section 106") by withholding audit documents the SEC requested in the course of enforcement investigations. Judge Elliot censured and suspended the Firms from serving as auditors to companies whose securities are traded in the U.S. for a period of six months.
As Construed by the ALJ, the Motive for Noncompliance is Irrelevant Under Section 106
The Firms contended that Chinese law prohibited them from producing audit work papers and other related documents to the SEC or other foreign regulators. Notwithstanding any such prohibition, Judge Elliot determined that "willful refusal to comply" under Section 106 means "choosing not to act after receiving notice that action was requested" and that under such a definition, "the motive for the choice is irrelevant." Because each of the Firms had not complied with at least one properly served Section 106 request, Judge Elliot determined that each had violated Section 106.
The ALJ Discussed and Rejected Four Additional Arguments
Judge Elliot also considered and rejected four arguments advanced by the Firms as affirmative defenses: (1) international comity prevents enforcement of the Section 106 requests; (2) the Firms did not act "willfully" under Section 106 because their legal obligations were "objectively unclear"; (3) the SEC lacks authority to request documents created prior the enactment of Dodd-Frank; and (4) the proceeding before Judge Elliot violated due process and equal protection and constituted selective prosecution.
Judge Elliot did not consider the first two arguments to be affirmative defenses. Ruling that judicial enforcement of the Section 106 requests was not a prerequisite to the administrative proceeding, Judge Elliot dispensed with the first argument on the ground that it was therefore irrelevant whether the Section 106 requests were enforceable. Based on his construction of Section 106, Judge Elliot next found "nothing objectively unclear" about Section 106 or the SEC's requests. Referencing his construction of the meaning of "willfully" under Section 106, he stated that the Firms "knew exactly what was expected of them."
Judge Elliot considered the third and fourth arguments as affirmative defenses but rejected both. Being "aware of no authority barring the use of a Sarbanes-Oxley 106 request to obtain documents created prior to Dodd-Frank's effective date," he found no merit to the third argument. Judge Elliot questioned his authority to consider the due process or equal protection claims but found that due process is satisfied where a party understands the issues and is afforded a full opportunity to meet the charges during the course of the proceeding. Finding no evidence of violations of due process or equal protection or of selective prosecution claims, Judge Elliot rejected the Firms' fourth argument as well.
The ALJ Reduced the Sanctions Sought by the SEC
The SEC requested that the Firms be censured, permanently barred from issuing audit reports filed with the SEC and permanently barred from playing a 50 percent or greater role in the preparation of or furnishing of an audit report filed with the SEC. In considering sanctions, Judge Elliot emphasized the factors of public interest and good faith, finding only censure and a temporary practice bar before the SEC to be appropriate.
With respect to the public interest, Judge Elliot found that the Firms had disregarded the SEC's regulatory authority. Based in part on the Firms' arguments that recognition of their wrongfulness was an inapplicable factor and that their occupation presented no opportunities for future violations, Judge Elliot also ruled that they had failed to recognize the wrongful nature of their conduct and were oblivious that their occupation presented opportunities for future violations.
The Firms urged a finding of good faith because they "were ready, willing and able to produce documents, but were unable to do so because Chinese law prevented it." Judge Elliot rejected the invitation, finding the Firms were aware of this potential legal conflict when they pursued business in the United States and chose to take this "calculated risk." Although he therefore found that the Firms "acted willfully and with a lack of good faith," Judge Elliot also rejected the SEC's argument that the Firms had acted with scienter because "they obviously had no intent to defraud, nor were they reckless."
The Firms also argued that a practice bar would have the substantial negative collateral consequences that: no other auditing firms could replace them; China-based U.S. issuers would no longer be able to trade on U.S. exchanges; the market capitalization of such issuers would fall; and investors would be harmed. Judge Elliot found that: the protection of future investors outweighed any potential harm to existing investors; ensuring the integrity of the SEC's processes overrode the Firms' potential losses of business, reputation, and investment; and the Firms' predictions of a lack of adequate substitute auditors were unpersuasive.
Balancing these factors, Judge Elliot rejected the SEC's request for a permanent practice bar, finding that the public interest factors weighed in favor of a total six-month bar. Judge Elliot also rejected the SEC's request for a "role" bar because the SEC lacked any authority for imposing such a bar and because it would be insufficient to remedy the potential harms that might result from a future violation. Judge Elliot found a censure to be justified by the public interest factors and noted that it imposed no greater burden on the Firms than that imposed by the temporary practice bar. The Firms have indicated that they will file a petition for review of Judge Elliot's initial decision. The sanctions ordered in the initial decision will not become effective until an order of finality is issued by the SEC.

Rob Crocitto, the president of the Great Kills Little League, and his league delivered much-needed supplies to victims of Hurricane Sandy last Saturday and Sunday, driving in a golf cart pickup truck.
"We collected hundreds of bags of clothes and food," said Crocitto, who drove and enacted this project spearheaded by Christina Flashner, a GKLL league director. "We took out our golf cart, and it was very helpful delivering supplies in the Great Kills beach and Oakwood beach area because there was debris there."
Within two hours of sending out a notice that they were collecting supplies from people, the GKLL clubhouse was stuffed with donations such as clothes, blankets, and non-perishable food.
"I was extremely, extremely pleased by our turnout by our board of directors — even former directors — league members, and other people in the community," said Crocitto.
Using the golf cart to maneuver through tight areas, GKLL delivered supplies door-to-door to residents throughout their community.
"We feel we should give back to the community as much as we can," said Crocitto.
The initiative had a very personal touch to GKLL
"One of our former directors, John C. Filipowicz Sr., and John K. Filipowicz Jr., a league player, both perished in the storm," said Crocitto, "so this was something very moving to our board of directors."
The GKLL will continue to aid Staten Islanders in the hurricane recovery, as it worked with Staten Island United Federation Baseball and Cal Ripken Baseball of Great Kills to create a fund-raiser baseball tournament. At least 50 teams will play in the tournament.
"All proceeds from tournament entry fees are going to be used to benefit those who have suffered from Superstorm Sandy," said Crocitto. Crocitto hopes the tournament, which will run Friday through the weekend, will raise as much as $30,000. Donations will be accepted as well, as GKLL advances its task of mending the Island.
"Until everyone has power, food on their plate, and a roof over their head, I'm not satisfied," said Crocitto.
GKLL is still accepting jackets, new underwear and socks, blankets, and non-perishable food donations.

You have to hand it to the local Hillside-Trenton Environmental Watch Action Group for its determination. Member Peter Boyles says the organization is pushing for cleaner energy with the Liberals – and feels they have the ear at least of key ministers in the new provincial government.
Their misery over recurring fly ash from the stacks of the coal-fired Nova Scotia Power generating plant in Trenton is well known. How attention from the government will tie in with the overall provincial aim toward cleaner sources of energy will be interesting.
A turnaround locally anytime soon doesn't look promising.
The group maintains a switch to natural gas at the plant would be a great solution.
Undoubtedly natural gas, with far cleaner emissions, will be part of the province's overall improvements. NSP, however, as it aims toward goals of cleaner energy – ultimately away from coal – has said the Trenton plant won't be a candidate for conversion to natural gas. Could the utility change its plans? It's a burning question.
The Environmental Watch locked horns a number of times with local MLAs from the former NDP government. No doubt the politicians were sympathetic. But the group members felt they had received promises and, in the end, delivery failed. To anyone suffering the fallout they claim emits periodically from the stacks, anything short of direct action by a government would come across as stall tactics.
It raises the question of how much pressure politicians can apply in the short term, before the old plants are mothballed. Perhaps stricter monitoring and accounting for emissions would at least help.
Boyles said this week he has worked with the ministers of health, energy and the environment, and they supported the Environmental Watch and its aims while in opposition. The group intends to follow up to see that concerns don't go to the backburner.
Come what may, this group won't give up. They deserve wider support: eventually something has to give.

In the months leading up to the NFL draft, we will conduct a poll, at least once a month, to get a feel for who fans think the Detroit Lions should draft with the No. 10 pick in the 2014 NFL draft.
When we first asked Lions fans who they'd like the team to draft, the hometown hero was the overwhelming favorite. Michigan State cornerback Darqueze Dennard took home more than a quarter of vote, easily besting the other options.
But did you see something while window shopping the NFL scouting combine that changed your mind?
We've selected 10 players commonly projected to the Lions. Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, wide receiver Sammie Watkins and linebacker Khalil Mack are not listed because, at this stage, no one expects them to drop to 10. No quarterbacks are listed for obvious reasons.
As always, please elaborate on your choice in the comments. We'll follow up on the results in the coming days.

Ward Connerly
By Ward Connerly
(Mr. Connerly is a former University of California Regent, former chairman of Proposition 209, and currently chairman of the American Civil Rights Institute. He is nationally known for his commitment to end the use of race preferences in government employment, contracting, and education.)
When President Bush announced the elements of the "comprehensive" bill that he was supporting to address problems involved with illegal immigration, he stressed the importance of illegal aliens to the American economy by stating repeatedly that illegals performed jobs "that Americans won't do." I winced each time he said this.
What I find so disingenuous and, frankly, insulting about this statement is that it represents an indictment of the American work ethic with so little justification to support the claim.
Americans are not lazy people. Nor are we too proud to get our hands dirty picking fruit, waiting on tables, working at construction sites or performing any number of other jobs for which "undocumented workers" are presumed to be the sole source of labor.
My experience is not unlike that of other Americans. As a young man, I picked peaches, tomatoes and cherries in my pre-teen summer months. I washed windows and cleaned bathrooms at service stations during that bygone era when "service stations" actually provided services. I occasionally worked at a construction site picking up debris during my high school years. My best job during that period was during my junior and senior years of high school when I worked as a "stock clerk" at a fabric store. Included in my duties were the tasks of sweeping the sidewalk and cleaning toilets.
I had it easy compared to older members of my family. One of my uncles piled lumber in rainy as well as extremely hot weather. If you want evidence of the willingness of Americans to do back-breaking work, imagine a man standing 10 feet off the ground on top of a pile of lumber, in 100-plus-degree weather, wrestling "green" (wet) boards that weigh more than 100 pounds onto the pile. When work ran out at the sawmill, he dug ditches for contractors. At the end of the day, his shirts were soaked with perspiration, his boots were weighted with mud, and he had used several handkerchiefs to wipe the sweat from his brow.
My aunts worked as domestic workers – making beds, washing dishes, mopping floors, whatever was required to keep Mr. and Mrs. Cook's house spic-n-span.
No job was too dirty, too hard, hours too long or wages too small for us.
Some might say that those were the "old days" and that individuals won't work like that anymore. I profoundly disagree. At the Sacramento International airport, and others as well, white women are shining shoes. The housekeeper (formerly known as "domestic worker") of a close friend is a white female. In urban centers throughout the nation, blacks are working for very low wages at car washes, as bell hops, and doing any number of jobs that require nothing more than a willingness to work hard. Years ago, unskilled blacks cleaned horse stalls at Hollywood Park racetrack. They would still do so if illegal aliens hadn't taken the jobs.
The fact of the matter is that, with a high school dropout rate of 30-40% among blacks, America has a substantial supply of unskilled individuals who are willing to do the jobs that illegal aliens do. The problem, however, is that they are often not offered the chance to do so, because of the prevailing sentiment among too many American employers, embraced by the president, that these are jobs "that no American will do."
In many industries, there is what is called the "tipping point." This is the point at which a given demographic group takes control of the job site and controls who works there. To illustrate: if the job site is largely controlled by one group of workers based on "race" or ethnic background, it becomes virtually impossible for anyone who is not of that group to become employed at that site. The "tipping point," I am told, is about 60%. In short, once the labor force for any job reaches 60% illegal, it will become essentially 100% illegal in the fullness of time. The reason is that the employer will entrust the leader of the group to select other workers when there is a vacancy and that selection will be based on language, ethnicity and "race."
Employers want workers who get along together, who socialize and become, or already are, friends. Such work environments tend to be more productive and efficient. At a site where roofing repairs are being undertaken or a new lawn is being planted, for example, it is not likely that a black dude is going to be content listening to mariachi bands on the radio all day long with nothing but Mexican lyrics comprising his music diet. He is quite likely to request that the station be turned to the local R&B channel where James Brown can wail his "I feel good" boogie beat. When he makes such a request at a site where the "tipping point" has been reached, tension will be the result.
No matter what else one might think about illegal immigration, its rationale does not rest on the premise that Americans are either too proud or too lazy to do certain jobs. That just isn't true.

At this point it seems as though it's another kick to a man already down, yet Andy Reid's play-calling still defies logic. Surely blame can be placed on his offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, but it's tough to believe that Reid didn't have input on a third-and-15 from the Dallas 24-yard line early in the third quarter. Backup quarterback Nick Foles had just completed a 12-yard pass to the two-yard line on third-and-five before offensive lineman King Dunlap was called for illegal hands to the face.
The Eagles following play was a two-yard run by secondary running back Bryce Brown.
Reid's team was already in field goal range, ahead 14-10, and had thrown the previous play. Why did Reid find it necessary to settle for a field goal with a 3-5 team in a game in which they had nothing to lose? In almost no scenario would I agree with the play-call, but it would be understandable in some situations. Not here. Reid felt comfortable enough with Foles to throw 32 times in less than three quarters with the rookie under center. He felt comfortable enough to have the rookie throw to the goal line just one play earlier. But rather than take a shot to the end zone, Reid settled for a two-yard run in order for Alex Henery to kick a 39-yard field goal, rather than a 41-yarder.
* KING?: For one of the biggest men on the planet, Dunlap sure doesn't play like it. Even worse than his three penalties for 30 yards, two of which were for illegal hands to the face, was his effort on Foles' interception to Cowboys defensive back Brandon Carr. As Carr sprinted down the sideline, Dunlap decided, rather than blowing up Carr's blocking or trying to meet Carr near the goal line, to run out of bounds near the 10-yard line and leave Foles as the last option to make a tackle. It may not have affected the outcome, but it was pure laziness at best.
* REID AGAIN: LeSean McCoy averaged over 5 yards per carry for the second straight week and was awarded with three less carries Sunday than he was against New Orleans. McCoy chalked up 82 yards on just 16 rushes - one of which was pass that was thrown backward by Foles. McCoy wasn't even rewarded for his work, with fullback Stanley Havili garnering goal line duty on a one-yard TD run late in the fourth quarter.
McCoy didn't complain about his lack of carries, saying it was not as frustrating as not winning the game.
"I don't feel that we lost the game because of the amount of carries I had," McCoy said. "I really don't. ... I don't think running today was a big issue."
*NOT SO SPECIAL: Tough to give any credit to the Eagles third unit Sunday. Allowing a punt return for a touchdown happens, more often than missing an extra-point. Henery struggles to find distance on kickoffs, but there's no excuse for not being able to put it in from 20-yards on what was the difference of being down eight points or seven. Maybe Reid wasn't wrong setting up Henery's previous field goal attempt with a two-yard run.

Where did you get the MP4s from? If you downloaded them then you should download them again. Most likely there was some conversion error, in which case you'll need to reconvert them.

Local Subway restaurant accepts digital currency
SOUTH WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. - Imagine not having to pull out your wallet to pay for something but rather grabbing your "digital wallet" instead.
That's the idea surrounding a global, digital currency called Bitcoin.
There's a Subway restaurant in South Whitehall Township accepting that form of payment. Sapan Shah is the owner of the Subway on Hamilton Boulevard and he's excited to offer the options to customers.
"I saw that other businesses are starting to accept Bitcoin and I thought it would be really cool if we could do it at our store," said Shah, who has been a fan of Bitcoin for years. "I'm actually a student at Lehigh doing my MBA and so I study business and I think the concept itself of having a global, international, digital currency is just fascinating."
He showed 69 News how it works when someone uses Bitcoin to pay. The cashier types in the amount of the transaction and the customer uses their cell phone to scan the restaurant's QR code.
"On our end we instantly get confirmation that we received this Bitcoin," said Shah.
Shah explained there are benefits for customers and businesses including no merchant fees and small transaction fees. Some supporters, he said, have driven two and three hours to use Bitcoin at his restaurant.
"The implications of it are huge in the fact that it can become a new currency," said Shah. "It's just like a digital currency rather than using cash. It's just fast, quick and easy."

A drunk man who's alleged to have shot his friend in the knee with an air rifle in Alexandra early this morning will face an array of firearms charges.
The man had been drinking at a birthday party before the incident on Royal Terrace in the Central Otago town about 3.20am, Acting Inspector John Robinson of police southern communications said.
"A man with an air rifle in Alexandra was arrested after he was drunk and went for a walk and shot one of his friends in the knee, and was generally being a bit of a half-wit.
"He managed to find his way back to his house and he was arrested there a little bit later on. It had the potential to be quite serious.''
Mr Robinson said the man would face "an array of firearms charges''.
He said it was a classic case of booze, young people and firearms not mixing.

Relatively recently, we were treated to some interesting announcements from E3 in LA, such as the introduction of Nintendo's new gaming console, the Wii U, and the coming of a more gritty but natural Lara Croft created by game developer Crystal Dynamics. However, upon closer examination of E3, it becomes apparent that the event is dominated by Western developers and publishers.
Every year, game development studios spend millions of dollars on the development of titles for various platforms like the PS3. Those titles are certainly not developed solely for the domestic market, but with the goal of worldwide distribution.
Although some of the major and more popular titles in Japan were showcased at this year's E3, the world barely took notice of them. Of course such domestic games like Mario, Pokemon, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, and Metal Gear Solid are still big brands worldwide, but the question is: is Japan's best already behind it?
The following list shows the top 5 selling titles in Japan for 2010. (Data compiled by the Research Institute ASCII)
- Pokémon Black and White
- Monster Hunter Portable 3rd
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii
- Wii Party
- Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation
The following list shows the top 5 selling titles in North America for 2010. (Data compiled by NPD)
- Call of Duty: Black Ops
- Madden NFL '11
- Halo: Reach
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii
- Red Dead Redemption
Even though there was a difference in the release dates for Japan and North America, "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" made it onto both Top 5 lists. Examining the other titles, one thing becomes clear: players abroad and in Japan prefer completely different games and genres. Speaking of differences, I would like to voice some thoughts regarding differing concepts in Japan and the West.
1. Freedom of Choice
Not on the list, but nevertheless very popular examples of Western games are: "KotoR", "Deus Ex", and "Dragon Age". One special point of interest in these games is the fact that they provide the gamer with various situations in which he or she can freely decide which path to take, rather than having to follow a preset linear storyline. It is not only an "extra" that goes along with the story, but an underlying concept of the game that has great influence on the outcome of the game. This mechanism keeps long-term motivation high, and offers a high grade of replay value to the game, which is especially important for single player games and almost considered a standard among RPGs. Indeed, the linear game play was something that was criticized by players of FF13 in the West.
Lately we see a lot of attention being garnished by an indie game called "Minecraft", a game which offers another form of freedom. The game follows a very simple concept: players can freely create the game world in any way they like, e.g. building their own houses and gardens with any specs they like, resulting in completely different game worlds for each player. Although the graphics are rather poor, the flexibility provided by this game concept has led to over two million downloads worldwide and made a great impact on users around the world.
2. Multiplayer: Confrontation or Cooperation?
In any country, multiplayer and online gaming are no novelty, and it is no exaggeration to say that gamers all over the world enjoy multiplayer games. However, the way multiplayer games are played in Japan and the rest of the world differs slightly.
In Western countries, many gamers enjoy playing "against" one another, either with friends or complete strangers (playing against human opponents), as can be gathered from the genres that are mainly played. On the other hand, examining hit titles in Japan such as the Monster Hunter series, it can be seen that Japanese players enjoy other game factors in multiplayer gaming, such as "cooperative play" in slaying "monsters" (playing against an AI).
Over the past few years, multiplayer and online gaming in Japan has provided a great medium for building new relationships, and there has been a tendency to solidify relationships with friends and acquaintances through games. In other words, video games have become a communication tool in Japan, even though the majority of players enjoy gaming the old-fashioned way: side-by-side, in front of the television with friends and family. This is caused by differences in lifestyle in Japan and overseas. In Japan – due to the enclosed urban lifestyle – it is far more natural to play multiplayer games in the living room, while it is more convenient for people in the United States to connect online.
3. Differences in Artwork
The aforementioned game Minecraft is a good example for the argument that even simple graphics do not necessarily have a negative effect on the success of a game. However, graphics undoubtedly play an important role when it comes to a player's first impression. When comparing Japanese and Western games, even the untrained eye can see a vast difference in game world and character design.
Many of the epic Western titles try to catch players' eyes by seeking thorough realism. While American artists are trying to be as realistic as possible with aspects such as the game world and main player characters in addition to NPC artwork, the Japanese put an emphasis on the design itself, trying to create a cool, interesting, and appealing look. Even for fantasy genres, most Western games stick to this concept to reproduce realistic-looking environments with a realistic feel of the game world in as much detail as possible. They usually draw on designs that have an actual reference model. While the protagonists of many Western RPG games often fight monsters in "real" heavy armor, many Japanese heroes rely on jackets or coats as clothing. This difference is made even more obvious as many Japanese games make use of manga and anime artwork. Even though the same CG character modeling techniques are employed, at a single glance it becomes quite apparent that "Tomb Raider" was made abroad, and that "Tekken" is a Japanese game.
Regarding these differences in artwork, of course the developers' personal tastes and preferences come into play, but the question of what sort of design will be most accepted by players is also definitely taken into consideration. When developing for the Japanese market, "cute" is generally accepted as more likely to hit with users than more edgy, realistic character design. However, the unfortunate reality is that this "cute" style of design tends to be relatively unpopular with players in the rest of the world.
4. Developing Games for the World
The scale of the differences in games for which demand is high in Japan and the rest of the world is quite large. With a bit of arrogance and exaggeration, it could be said that "the fun of Japanese games is incomprehensible to foreigners". However, it is possible that gamers outside of Japan are thinking: "Japanese developers don't take our opinions into consideration at all". In reality, it may not be that overseas game fans stopped caring about or paying attention to Japanese games, but that Japanese creators never really took notice of overseas gamers in the first place.
Using Capcom as an example, last year they unveiled games such as "Ōkami" and "Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective". These games are widely known by Japanese gamers as having extremely high-caliber game elements and being wonderfully entertaining. However, they are in no way considered to be games created "for overseas audiences".
Nowadays, things are vastly different from the times when Japan was considered to be on the cutting edge of the gaming industry. As overseas game developers continue to hone their skills, the number of options regarding non-Japanese games has increased exponentially. The fact is that it is becoming impossible to keep pumping out games which are simply fun and well-made and automatically expect them to become hits (this is not necessarily the case with products such as the Wii, which provides an all-new form of entertainment). "This particular game hit in Japan, so upon localizing it and sending it out to the world market, huge profits automatically followed"… This sort of thing simply does not happen anymore. In reality, games such as Capcom's "Dead Rising" – which was created with a later global launch in mind from the start – tend to become smash hits overseas.
Japanese game developers are finally beginning to take notice of this issue, and have apparently began producing games made for the world, as opposed to just games created mainly for domestic release. Previously-mentioned Capcom has begun preparing games such as "Dragon's Dogma" and "Resident Evil", which are clearly not meant to be purely for domestic release.
Put simply, over the next year or so, Japanese games created with the rest of the world taken into consideration will start being released. With these releases, the true merit of Japanese game creators will be taken into question once again. Hopefully, from next year on, Japanese booths at E3 will finally get their groove back and thrive once again.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — A second Pennsylvania man convicted in the 2008 beating death of an illegal immigrant has appealed his federal hate-crime conviction.
Piekarsky and now-21-year-old Derrick Donchak were among a group of high school football players involved in a July 12, 2008 fight with Ramirez that left the Mexican immigrant with severe injuries. He died two days later.
The Republican-Herald of Pottsville reports Piekarsky wants his conviction overturned or a new sentencing hearing.
The brief also claims the defense was not allowed to explore the difference between race and other factors including national origin and immigration status.
Donchak appealed his conviction in March.

MARQUETTE - Max Winkler recently toured the Newell Eddy, a Great Lakes schooner barge first launched in 1890.
He was particularly struck when he saw the brass plate detailing the ship's history, including its port of origin, and the aged mast with a small amount of rigging still hanging on it.
And while most would expect a 121-year-old ship to be preserved, on display and off-limits to tourists, that wasn't the case. When Winkler, 20, toured the century-old vessel, he was 170 feet below the surface of Lake Huron, where the Newell Eddy has rested since sinking in a storm during the spring of 1893.

"I would say it's more about exploring," said Winkler, who has been SCUBA diving for nearly a decade. "When you go to the Caribbean, you see a lot of pretty fish and coral, and that's great. But with ships, you can swim through the holes and actually see if they sank with anything."
The members of the Winkler family have actually become something of shipwreck connoisseurs in the last few years, surveying ships throughout the Great Lakes, and even internationally.
Recently, the group traveled to Truk Lagoon, in the central Pacific, which is advertised as a shipwreck diver's dream come true. The islands around the lagoon were heavily populated by the Japanese during WWII when, in February of 1944, dozens of Japanese ships and hundreds of airplanes were sunk in a U.S. attack.
While the ships aren't terribly deep, and the water is quite warm, Winkler said it takes skill and caution to weave in and out of the numerous shipwrecks.
One of the major issues divers must deal with is nitrogen narcosis - the name attached to nitrogen's narcotic effects, which increase with pressure.
To combat the narcosis, Winkler breathes trimix, a combination of nitrogen, helium and oxygen, while diving.
Still, it's easy to become disoriented and he referred to something informally called Martini's Law, the idea that the body reacts as though it has ingested a martini for each 50 feet it travels below the surface.
"It's mostly common sense stuff, but people die diving. Not exactly regularly, but they do," Winkler said. "When you get down there, it's dark and it's cold, and you just had three martinis."
The deepest dive he has ever done was about 200 feet, and took place near the Caribbean island of Bonaire. But what now seems like a serious hobby started in simple fashion.
"We all started in the same place," he said of the diving careers of him, his brother and his father - the family's SCUBA divers. "We went on a cruise with my grandparents and we took a discover SCUBA course."
Though participants did get to dive, Winkler said the course only concerned itself with the most basic information.
"They teach you just enough so you don't die on them," he said.
But that trip a decade ago spawned a new Winkler family activity. Winkler is now certified and has gone on dives in Florida, St. Thomas, Truk Lagoon, the Caribbean islands of Bonaire and Bequia and at numerous sites throughout the Great Lakes.
Over the years, diving has become a calming activity for Winkler, who said he has often heard athletes describe the peaceful feeling they get during long runs. Though he has no interest in running, he likens that feeling to the one he gets exploring a shipwreck.
"There's kind of a thrill to it. It's a feeling like, 'Nobody has been here.' You're down there and everything is quiet. All you can hear is your bubbles and you can't talk. It's kind of peaceful and it's an experience," Winkler said. "You just have to do it."
For small children dreaming of uncharted lands, Winkler said, SCUBA diving is the next best thing to being an astronaut.
He said the sport is fairly simple to get into initially - there is a shop in town and an introductory class at Northern Michigan University - and is something people can enjoy for a lifetime.
"I would encourage people to try it," Winkler said. "We run into people on vacation all the time and there are divers I've met in their 60s, at least. This is definitely something you can do for recreation and it's something your whole family can do."

At some point on the agonizingly slow conveyor belt to diagnosis, one of my doctors said we'd need to find out if my cancer were one of the aggressive ones, or one of the lazy ones.
Please don't call my cancer lazy. It may hear you. It may take offense. It might even feel compelled to get its act together. It might start to emulate its more aggressive siblings, just to prove it can.
It might start to question its potential, to realize it can dream bigger dreams. It might square its shoulders and begin to assume that nothing can hold it back. It might change. It might come into its own.
It might get LinkedIn. It might start to network with other cells. It might Tweet. It might go viral.
So whatever you do, please don't taunt my cancer. No good can come of that.
Far better to just keep your voice down when you're talking about it. Let it think all is fine. Let it not know what hit it.

I think there's some value to putting morality in opposition to game play. If we don't ever put a mechanic behind moral choice we can't do things like set up mechanical temptations. I think "will you make this game harder for yourself to avoid doing something unconscionable" is still a viable way for games to explore morality.
I agree, I just think it's a tricky thing to properly execute - and a lot of games don't really seem to be doing it well.
As someone mentioned, even something as simple as offering different rewards for different choices can run the risk of causing a player to disregard the actual context or meaning of a situation in favour of seeking said reward.
But yes, I completely agree that there are ways of tying mechanics to choices and still maintaining the meaning of a scenario - but it has to be carefully considered, and only offering the best rewards for being either one end of a particular scale, or the other, is a poor way of doing it in my eyes because it triggers a belief that you can't toy with the idea of more morally 'grey' areas, or that players should seek to make only 'good' choices or only 'evil' choices, etc.
And yes, morally 'grey' choices where no option is marked as 'good' or 'evil', etc - or choices where you're not immediately made aware of the repercussions of each outcome are very powerful in games.
Also, yeah - Army of Two: The 40th Day sucked hard but it had some interesting moments.
Another game does multiplayer dialogue/action choices in an interesting way too, allowing each participant to make a choice and then using a background system to determine whose option is used, etc.
