Bafilomycins and concanamycins, two groups of the plecomacrolide-defined class of macrolide antibiotics, have recently been recognized as important tools for studying the physiological role of vacuolar-type, proton-translocating ATPases (V-ATPases) and ATPases with phosphorylated states (P-ATPases) in animal and plant cells as well as in yeast, fungi and bacteria. The following review will give an account of the classification and function of these antibiotics.

Emerald Downs news and notes | Horse Racing
It couldn't have gone much better last season for Hall of Fame trainer Jim Penney and his daughter and assistant Kay Cooper.
The pair conditioned three divisional champions and matched their total output from the previous three years by winning six Emerald Downs' stakes races. Penney finished the season tied for first with trainer Doris Harwood in stakes wins and led all trainers with $562,901 in purse earnings*$263,555 from stakes races. Not only that, but both Top 3-Year-Old Jebrica and Top 3-Year-Old Filly Class Included found success in Canada, where they each won a stakes race at Hastings Park. Penney said he knows last year will be hard to top, but that his barn has the weapons to pull it off.
"I think it's quite possible that we can top what we did last year," Penney said. "Especially since all of our stakes winners have returned."
That's a scary report for the competition, which hopes for a slice of the $1.5 million-plus in stakes money to be doled out this season. We're still more than a month away from the Hastings Handicap, but the Penney barn has already placed itself as the early favorite for the most stakes victories in 2012. Besides Jebrica and Class Included, the returning all-stars include 2011 Top Juvenile Male Chu and I, last year's Belle Roberts winner Sweet Nellie Brown, Top 3-Year-Old Filly of 2009 Sis's Sis and 3-year-old filly prospect Lady Hokulea. Furthermore, Penney said he's impressed with what he's seen from his 2-year-olds thus far.
"This might be the best crop of 2-year-olds that I've ever had," Penney said. "You never know, but they appear to have plenty of potential."
With support from owners like Michael and Amy Feuerborn, it appears Penney might have every stakes division covered. Recently, the Feuerborns, owners and breeders of Class Included and Chu and I, have been an absolute force. In 2011, the Maple Valley owners finished first in earnings with $236,931 and stakes wins with four.
NOTES: Russell Baze has been notified that he will be inducted into the State of Washington Sports Hall of Fame, the ceremony to take place at Emerald Downs on Longacres Mile day, Sunday, Aug. 19. A 2004 inductee in the Washington Racing Hall of Fame, Baze is No. 1 all-time with 11,543 wins*Once again, Emerald Downs will give away 50 flat screen TVs on opening day, but for the second straight year, the track will also give away a 51st flat screen TV as part of it's Facebook promotion. Fans can like the Emerald Downs' Facebook page to be eligible for the 51st TV*Maryellen Silva, who worked for trainer Mark Glatt in Southern California last season, returned to Emerald Downs last month to work for trainer Jim Penney*Hudson Landing, whom trainer Blaine Wright said could run in the $200,000 Longacres Mile (GIII) on Aug. 19, will face eight others Saturday in an allowance optional claimer for $62,500 at Golden Gate Fields. Northern Indy, third in last year's Seattle Slew Handicap, is also in the field* 2011 Leading Jockey Leslie Mawing said Thursday that he would ship north on Sunday in advance of Friday's 17th season opener. The South African native ranks ninth all-time with 398 wins at Emerald Downs*Vic-Tory Stables' He's All Heart, winner of last year's Muckleshoot Tribal Classic, breezed five furlongs on Friday in 1:01.60. Victor "The Predictor" Cozzetti celebrates his birthday Monday and 2012 will be Cozzetti's 41st season in racing*Charles Essex trainee Who's Your Next Ex, a double-race winner at Emerald Downs at age 2, 3 and 5-years-old, notched his first 2012 breeze on Friday, going three furlongs in 37 flat*12-year-old Colonel Courtney, the oldest-active racehorse on the grounds, shipped into Emerald Downs Wednesday night. Trained by G.D. Khalsa and owned by Michael Pollowitz, Colonel Courtney has already won two races this year and last December, he captured the 2011 $26,900 Art McFadden Memorial Sprint Claiming Series at Portland Meadows. Entries for Emerald Downs' opening night will be taken Tuesday, April 10 and entries for the first weekend will be taken Wednesday, April 11*New in 2012, emeralddowns.comwill feature photos of all photo finishes and stewards' rulings.

Resort towns may get reprieve from high health insurance rates
The Colorado Insurance Commissioner's plan to group resorts with other counties will have to go to White House.
The Colorado Insurance Commissioner's plan to group resorts with other counties will have to go to White House.
State insurance regulators say they will give health insurers another year to offer plans that don't meet new federal requirements.
The cost to set up Connect for Health was paid almost entirely by federal grants. Those grants run out next year.
Rising premiums are forcing Colorado companies to choose between group plans or ask employees to buy individual coverage through Connect for Health Colorado.
Officials say more than 250,000 signed up for health insurance or Medicaid before the March 31 deadline for open enrollment.
March 31 is the deadline to sign up for private insurance through Colorado's health exchange but the state says it will give applicants a little extra time.
The number is less than initial goals anticipated, but still good compared with other states in general.
The bill extending the nation's debt ceiling passed, but all of Colorado's GOP members voted against it.
Expect to hear more about the penalty for not buying health insurance as Colorado adjusts its marketing messages around the Affordable Care Act.
With Dec. 23 deadline looming, advocates fan out across the state to reach potential customers on the telephone or in public places like grocery stores and pharmacies.

Libraries are often in a tricky place when it comes to removing books from the collection. It makes some people think we we are so enamored of shiny new electronic toys that we have turned our backs on the traditional purpose of libraries, or that we want to devote space to trendy espresso bars and gaming rooms for adolescents who should be writing papers instead of goofing off. Sometimes we are so eager to demonstrate how hip we are, it makes some people think we hate books and the people who love them. And when we actually throw books away, those awful suspicions are confirmed.

I'm writing this post under the intoxicating influence of Kevin Kelly's "What Technology Wants". Blame Kelly for any hyperbole.(Are you also ridiculously influenced by whatever book you are currently reading? Why is it that books exert such gravity, so much more than visual media?)

I met a fellow math professor at a conference several weeks ago who is teaching a class on the idea of infinity. He told me of a story he tells his class about how difficult the idea of "infinity" can be. He described a class that a student wants to sign up for with an infinite number of seats. There are, however, already an infinite number of students enrolled, so each seat is already taken. A new student comes into that class, and wants to enroll, only to find every seat taken.

OK, look. This has only a metaphorical connection to sustainability, and probably no relevance at all to higher education. Nonetheless, if you haven't seen this Travelers Insurance commercial, you owe it to yourself.No, I'm not endorsing any insurance companies. But I definitely endorse whomever it was that made this piece of admittedly commercial art.

Last night, after a long day at work, I collapsed on the couch with my husband and six-year old daughter to watch A Christmas Carol. It was our daughter's first time watching it and she was a bit scared by the ghosts, especially the mute and shadowy figure of Christmas future. Her face was a picture of childish delight at the end when Scrooge dances, giddy with happiness on Christmas morning, the ghosts gone and the day bright and full of possibilities for change. Family members are still willing to forgive and Tiny Tim is still capable of being saved.

Last week I had the pleasure to spend time with Fred Siff, Professor and CIO Emeritus University of Cincinnati, at a Richard N. Katz & Associates sponsored event. Fred led a discussion in which he asked, "Would you build a new 600 seat classroom today?"This was a great discussion starter, and I'm interested in what your answer would be.

An occasional correspondent writes:I have been offered a course at a reduced rate because the enrollment is not 100%. My objections to this go beyond mere self interest (I think). Here are some potential issues:#1: Instructors have little control over enrollment, but do have some. For example how many students pass a 100 level course has a direct impact on how many students move on to a 200 level course we might teach. If our rate is based on warm bodies might not an instructor be tempted to pass students just to increase enrollment in a higher level course?

If there's one thing blogging regularly for years has made obvious to me, it's that the mind roams restless as a spirit on the landscape of time. When I have reason to look for something I wrote here previously I can rarely tell, before I find it, when it was posted. I'm often wrong by years; it seems certain I was thinking those particular thoughts during the Eisenhower administration, not the Nixon.

For my husband and myself, our Thanksgiving weekend was pretty low-key. Turkey at our friends' house (we only had to cook side dishes!), catch-up on work (our computers are forever on), some yard work, neighborhood walks, a family board game. For my 6th grade daughter, there was a school project. The project was to build a totem pole to represent her family. Guidelines: no more than 5 inches diameter; 12-24 inches high; needs to be stable; use more than two different kinds of materials (clay, wood, cereal boxes, pipe cleaners); "Think outside the box".

It's been a while since I've done a "how to get the job" piece. Judging by a recent flurry of emails on the subject, it looks like the time is right for a new one.If you're applying for a full-time faculty job, you can assume that the folks who read your cover letter will be academics. For all their quirks, academics tend to be pretty good readers. That means that your cover letter will actually get read closely, probably several times. Craft counts.Please don't open with "My name is..." We'll figure it out when we get to the signature line.

Berkley® Coated Grip Gloves is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MartinBourget from Tough, quality, worth 5 times their price Being probably the most bad lucked angler of this century, I used to buy classic work gloves when going to the big game fishes. Berkley's Grip Gloves are a must have for any serious angler. Quality built, they protects you against titles bad lucks while keeping these slippy fishes in your hands. And the best of it, they are washable... and can handle rough products. Compared to classic gloves, I would say it keeps 95% less odor. No need to buy several pairs, these gloves are made for the roughest guys out there.

HourlyLess than 30 hrs/week
Intermediate LevelI am looking for a mix of experience and value
Hello all,
I am looking for a contractor who has worked with (or heard of) Alivv.com in the past and who is a fluent Russian speaker.
Note that I have used google translate already, so it's not a problem to navigate around the site, it's the understanding of the system that I'm looking for.
I am unable to sign in, so would require the login to be created for me. I understand the basics of SEO but not the complexities of Alivv.com and I want someone who has worked with Alivv.com in the past to help me set up a number of campaigns.
In particular:
-How to submit articles/news that will remain on the target site permanently
-How to filter sites and run campaigns automatically from the filter
I'm looking for someone to help walk me through the process, so there would need to be a bit of research from you to begin with. I'm happy to discuss terms, but it is likely to be an hourly rate, until I am proficient in the system.

you know that it turned out that they made the coffee much hotter than it should be right
#128 - anon (07/09/2013) [-]
Actually the lady who complained about her coffee being too hot attained 3rd degree burns on her legs when the coffee spilled. Can you imagine drinking that shit?
#35 - theavatarspupil (07/09/2013) [-]
The bitch that you're refering to blatantly put a OBVIOUSLY HOT CUP OF COFFEE between her legs WHILE DRIVING. She had it coming. She was the one that made the mistake of placing a paper cup full of scalding hot cup of coffee between her legs and driving. It was in no way McDonald's fault. They didn't say "Here you go, Ma'am! And be sure to put it right next to your genitals while performing a complicated task! And have a nice day!"
#84 - wagastragas (07/09/2013) [-]
she wasnt driving, she was in the passenger seat, also the accident happened after the driver pulled over to eat at the parking, it ended up being mcdonals fault cause they served the coffee boiling hot cause they tought drivers waited to drink their coffee so it would still be warm when they finally drank it
#109 - baaltomekk (07/09/2013) [-]
Yeah but they would only get sued in america for this. Here in germany, the judge would just say "You can expect a coffee to be boiling hot when bought" and that's it. Common sense
#139 - baaltomekk (07/10/2013) [-]
But that's not the point. The point is she assumed it wouldn't be so hot without checking like a person with common sense would do.
#21 - toosexyforyou (07/09/2013) [-]
Even though I agree that it is a frivolous lawsuit, have you ever had a McDonald's coffee? That shit is fucking lava, you can't even taste it, it's so hot.

I live here in America and have for my entire life. I don't hate my country and I'm not saying we're all like this. Unfortunately this is the kind of thing that IS becoming more and more prevalent regardless of the fact that it's still currently just the vocal minority.
Squeaky wheel bs means that when people make sweeping statements (even when they know the facts) they generally will use the most known example to get their point across. And admittedly modern media does not help make America look smart.

Getting Jay Cutler made news in Chicago. Getting Brett Favre made news in Minnesota. In Green Bay, the big news had nothing to do with the QB. They're set for a long time with Aaron Rodgers. This off-season the Packers have installed a new 3-4 Defense and brought in Dom Capers to design it. They've spent a lot of time trying to fit some square pegs into round holes to make it work. Sunday against the Bears will be it's regular season debut, but how much will the Packers play their new signature defense against the Bears?
When I asked Bears players about the 3-4, a couple of things became clear: Pre-snap reads are going to be critical for Jay Cutler. As I'm told, the splits that the 3-down Linemen take has a significant effect on what the pass protection is for a particular play. One player told me that the difference can be as small as 1-foot and that would change where the protection slides or the play that's called. So Jay Cutler and the Olin Kreutz are gonna have to be on their game with recognition. If they aren't the plays could be blown up.
The key for the Bears is determining who the Middle Linebacker (Mike)* is on each play. In a 3-4, most teams make one of their 4 Linebackers a rusher. Figuring out who that guy is on each play can be difficult and is why some teams don't have success against a 3-4. Finding the "Mike" on each play makes it easier to find who the Rush Linebacker is.
*side note: players told me that with the 3-4 they added a name to psuedonyms for each of the Linebacking spot: Mike (MLB), Sam (SLB), Will (WLB) and for some strange reason, "Ted" for the second inside guy. The Packers call their 2 inside guys: "Mack" and "Buck".
The Packers have some decisions to make. Bears players told me to go back over the 2 games from last year to see how the Packers played the Bears. I was surprised to see that the Packers spent the majority of time in a Nickel package. They ran a 4-2-5. 4 Linenmen, 2 Linebakcers and 5 Defensive Backs. So, that left Corners covering Greg Olsen. In the 2 games Greg Olsen had 9 catches for 94 yards and a TD. Now overall, the Packers had success with this package. They buried the Bears in the first game 37-3 and lost in overtime in the second game. It's important to note that the Bears have had a significant upgrade at the QB spot, that could change the Packers philosophy.
So what will they do? If they run the 4-2-5 package, it negates all the work and installation of their new 3-4. If they play a 3-4 the Bears have an advantage because who's going to cover their Tight Ends? I think the Bears would love to have Greg Olsen and Dez Clark matched up on Aaron Kampman, Brady Poppinga or Jeremy Thompson. The advantage for the Packers in the 3-4 is that they would look to match up one of those guys against Matt Forte. Not in coverage, but in pass protection.
This chess game is going to be a very interesting one to watch…

|This article contains a translation of Eric Kandel from de.wikipedia.
Looks like this page needs some reworking for factual accuracy (e.g., Kandel wasn't so much interested in learning theory/machine learning as he was in human learning). Also, the article's treatment of Kandel's history seems to hop around a bit rather than presenting it chronologically. Putting this on my to-do list. --Diberri 12:19, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Also, might want to mention his book, Principles of Neural Science (Kandel, Schwartz and Jessel) which is pretty important reference book for many.
His textbook was very important in his career. I think it needs to be expanded on a bit to give readers a better idea of his writing. --hhearst —Preceding undated comment added 19:59, 25 June 2011 (UTC).

This edit
(→Early years: replacing source that is not accessible by an accessible source, an interview with K in which he, actually, doesn't exactly say the same things)
deleted the following section, and replaced with a less detailed story from Bloomberg:
(When Kandel won the Nobel Prize in 2000, he said it was "...certainly not an Austrian Nobel, it was a Jewish-American Nobel." After that, he got a call from then Austrian president Thomas Klestil asking him, "How can we make things right?" Kandel said that first, Doktor-Karl-Lueger-Ring should be renamed. Karl Lueger was an anti-Semitic mayor of Vienna, cited by Hitler in Mein Kampf. Second, he wanted the Jewish intellectual community to be brought back to Vienna, with scholarships for Jewish students and researchers.[1])
Science is unequivocally a WP:RS, and you can find it in any mid-sized library. It's more accessible than his published biography, which is cited in this article. In any case, here's a short excerpt from the interview with Kandel from a longer feature in Science, so now it's accessible:
Science Magazine > 6 June 2008 > 320 (5881): 1269
VIENNA, AUSTRIA—On a visit here last week, Nobelist Eric Kandel attended the debut of In Search of Memory, a film about his life and work, dined with Austrian President Heinz Fischer, and urged officials to rename a boulevard that bears the name of a 19th century mayor known for his anti-Semitic views. Kandel, who fled Nazi-controlled Austria in 1938 at the age of 9, is now a member of the newly built Institute of Science and Technology Austria.
Q: How did Austria lure you back?
Of course, I had distrust of the Viennese. The Catholics here nearly took my life. Unlike Germany, where they've confronted their [anti-Semitic] history very transparently, Austria has never dealt with it. I remember a Viennese woman said to me at the time, in a very typical comment, "You know, they weren't all bad." So when I won the Nobel, I stuck it to the Austrians by saying that it was certainly not an Austrian Nobel; it was a Jewish-American Nobel. After that, I got a call from the [former] Austrian president [Thomas Klestil], asking me, "How can we make things right?"
Q: What are your goals here?
First, Doktor-Karl-Lueger-Ring should be renamed. Lueger was mayor of Vienna [1897 to 1910] and a notorious anti-Semite. Hitler even cited him in Mein Kampf. The fact that the University of Vienna is on this street is offensive. Second, I would like to see the Jewish intellectual community brought back to Vienna. There need to be scholarships for Jewish students and researchers.
I think the story from Science is a better story, because it expresses Kandel's views on anti-Semitism, it gives the example of the anti-Semitism of Lueger that still offends him, it gives his positive responses, and it gives his ideas about the the Jewish community in Vienna, themes which he elaborated in his book. Unless anybody has any objection, I'm going to replace it with the original story. --Nbauman (talk) 23:28, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- You should add that one but leave the Bloomberg story, IMO.--Insert coins (talk) 08:20, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I did a top-to-bottom CE and removed the CE-needed template. Didn't exhaustively research Wikipedia style for how to do particular things (like Selected Publications), so please forgive any lapses, but it should be pretty reasonable overall. Substantive changes:
- Removed Category:Austrian Orthodox Jews and Category:American Orthodox Jews. I have not researched the matter deeply, but I don't see a kipah (yarmulke) in any of his photos, which is prima facie evidence that he doesn't follow core Orthodox practices.
- Changed link to point to "learning" instead of "Learning theory (education)|learning" -- the latter is not what is meant by "learning and memory" in this context.
- Deleted Kavli Prize committee website from Ext Refs, changed to in-text citation & added a 2nd citation for the 2009-10 yrs.
- Deleted Amazon link for Principles of Neural Science from the Ext Refs (inapproriate to link to a for-profit ecommerce company, which outweighs the editorial value of any content there); the ISBN in the Further Reading will bring up the Wiki booksource tool.
- Added info on renaming of street in Vienna.

Landscape scene. House to left background, animals grazing right of lane. Horse-drawn wagon and driver headed down lane away from house.
American Homestead Summer is one in a series of four prints depicting a traditional home during the four seasons in New England. In almost all Currier & Ives images, the concept of home referred to an idealized two-story structure, often with a porch, set in the country. Though much of the American public lived in apartments in the cities, Currier & Ives promoted the idea that the best life was found through country living. Their prints provided a link to this simpler lifestyle and contrasted the safe haven of rural America to the often morally destructive nature of developing industry in the city.

Yesterday we posted how JB Hi-Fi stores around Australia were waged in a nationwide competition against each other to produce the best point-of-sale art for the launch of Street Fighter 5.
There was some fantastic drawings, recreations of arcade cabinets and even clever wording. But those weren't the only great displays going around.
I asked yesterday for other people to send in other examples of JB Hi-Fi stands for Street Fighter 5, and you duly replied!
Let's start with our cousins across the pond in New Zealand. A member from the Westgate store, located on the North Island for those unfamiliar with Kiwi geography, sent in the feature image and the first shot below.
It's more poster than original art, mind you. But at least the amount of posters (10) is a multiplier of 5. Some extra hand drawn ones would be nice, though.
There's been some good entries from stores in Queensland, and we can add the efforts of the games co-ordinator in Robina to the list. He sent these in earlier this morning, and they're not too bad. The Street Fighter 5 logo on Zangief's chest is a really smart touch. I like the way the SF4-style font was incorporated into the top banner, too.
A reader sent this one in yesterday afternoon. It's just the one image and I'm not sure what store it came from (I've asked, but didn't get a reply at the time of writing).
It's neatly done, though. There's something about the illustration of the Dictator that just puts a smile on my face.
But it's still hard to go past a well done faux arcade cabinet. The games department in the Knox JB Hi-Fi store (Victoria) has put together a great stand here. The construction of the cabinet isn't as tight as some others — it's a bit crumpled and the joystick looks a little floppy — but the artwork on the side is absolutely top notch. Really superb stuff.
Seen any more fantastic displays? And have you got any other pictures of great JB artwork for other games? Let us know via email!

Princess Lilian Suite at Grand Hotel Stockholm
May 21, 2016
By: Five Star Alliance
The Grand Hotel in Stockholm, formerly the Grand Hotel Intercontinental Stockholm, opened for the first time in 1874 and has a long and fascinating history. The rooms and interiors are unique, as is the hotel's location in the centre of Stockholm. The luxury hotel just took the wraps off a big refresh of its most impressive suite: the Princess Lilian Suite, which is situated on the top floor of the property.
First inaugurated in 2006, the 330 square meter suite now has a completely new interior with a lounge area, two bedrooms, a private movie theater (!), a kitchen and two terraces - perfect for looking out over the waterfront or the Royal Palace. The project also added new exercise equipment to the suite's spa section (pictured).
Interior designer Sanna Nathanson, who has headed up previous room renovation projects at the Grand Hotel Stockholm, spearheaded the project. All of the suite's floors have been replaced with parquet flooring, except for the bedrooms, which got new, hand-woven wall-to-wall carpeting. The new color scheme aims for a light, subdued look, with tones of grey-blue, cream and gold. Several pieces of new furniture were specially designed for the suite, with a large portrait of Princess Lilian by the artist Fabian Edstam serving as a focal point.
All of the hotel's other rooms and suites in the Burmanska Palace have likewise received renovations, with a Scandinavian design in three color palettes: Royal, Sand and Blood (think marble, white- and black-stained wood, velvet-meets-silk curtains, and leather, wool, and linen elements, with brass details). Fine-art photography serves as accents.

You have questions, we have answers! Explore our blog series Your Questions Answered to find answers to real questions submitted to us by our clients regarding traveling with kids, pets, the best beach hotels, and much more.
Question: We are looking to stay in Stockhom and need a room for 3, what do you recommend?
Answer: Hotel Rival Stockholm is the epitome of cool. Hip, lively, colorful, and chic, the city's first boutique hotel is a modern masterpiece of design. With its on-site bakery and cinema, stylish lobby, and gorgeous bar, the Hotel Rival is the kind of friendly and exciting boutique that every city should wish for. The hotel belongs to Benny Andersson, the ABBA legend. The gorgeous cinema -renovated to retain its original historical touches- is now the scene of fashion shows, parties, concerts, and film screenings. The cinema motif is dominant in the hotel's design- the comfortable bistro features wall paneling with a mosaic of 924 film star images, and each guestroom is adorned with a scene from a vintage Swedish film, the glass-covered canvas suspended above the beds.
For Your Needs, We Recommend:
Deluxe Balcony Room. The guestrooms embrace a sleek modern minimalism which hasn't abandoned function over form. They are perfectly comfortable and highly sophisticated. The DUX beds are heavenly, with luscious linens, Egyptian cotton sheets, a special pillow menu, and the signature teddy bear from Debenhams. Some rooms feature a windowed wall between the bathroom and bedroom, allowing guests to soak in the tub while gazing out into the room. Of course the guestrooms and suites are loaded with technology,from plasma screen TVs, DVD/CD players (and plenty of DVD rentals), PS2's, and wireless internet access.

Happy days in Hanheld Land
Happy days in Hanheld Land
Dec 11, 2005 9:59PM PST
FINALLY!!!!!!!Finally DS and PSP have top notch games to play! Granted I dont own all the games that I want for them, I do have some good ones and planning on buying some of these new ones. I'm more happy with the release of the really good DS games cuz I neglected my DS more than play it since I bought it, but now I have Advance Wars DS, and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow and those 2 games make me very happy. Im also planning on picking up Mario Kart DS. I had a friend over yesterday who had it with him and we played each other. We did the download play since we had only one cartridge but I found ShyGuy to be badass! For my PSP I have not picked up any new games for it since I purchased Coded Arms a few months ago, but the Internet Browser has kept me entertained. Im looking at picking up Infected, GTA: LCS, Prince of Persia: Revelations, Kingdom of Paradise, and Legend of Heroes. Im also stoked that they are remaking Valkyrie Profile, Breath of Fire 3, and Suikoden 1&2 for it. Much to look forward in the Handheld world.....not to mention how much there is to look at and forward to in the home console world. Happy days are present and coming!
