Andy's Analysis
With 2010 having provided one of the closest ever races for the WMRT title, anticipation is building as to whether this season the competition will be just as tight. Professional sailor and renowned commentator Andy Green gives his expert opinion on what he thinks this year's Tour will bring to the table.
Who will have the winning touch this season:
'I think there will be three teams contesting for the title by the Monsoon Cup in 2011. Torvar Mirsky, Jesper Radich and Mathieu Richard. I think Torvar will edge it.'
Tight competition:
'I think because of the format of six events to count it ensures a close finish to the championship. I also think it's very difficult to totally dominate every event because of the different boats and very different sailing venues.'
Shake up of Tour Card Holders:
'I think it's great to have veterans and newcomers, it really mixes up the sailing on the water. I enjoy how the newcomers are trying new moves and techniques and often have very aggressive ambitions in their results. The older players are sometimes more calm and considered. I like the mix.'
Most excited to watch:
'Radich take on Mirsky'
Different locations suit different sailors:
'Richard is good in light airs, Gilmour is good in bigger boats and Berntsson for some reason likes heavier slower boats. Why? Most likely because they have most experience in either these boats or conditions. Sometimes it's about suiting someone's style or thinking.'
The challenge of match racing:
'I think the most important thing in match racing is being able to constantly learn and improve. It combines every part of sailing and distils it so that one mistake you might make in tactics or boat speed is punished very hard. In fleet racing you can come back, minimise losses or finish well, even if you make a mistake. In match racing if you make a mistake you lose. It's very binary. 1 or 0, win or lose. It makes for compelling simple to understand racing.'

the apartment is very close to the city center. Many attractions are within walking distance. The view from the apartment is beautiful. Peter is very freindly and helpful. Anytime we would come back. Thank you for all, Peter
Great host and amazing flat, especially because of where it is placed. Very comfortable too.No bad comments about the apartment or its owner. Everything was perfect! Very advisable
Very friendly hosts (esp the mother of Peter - thank you for everything!) and great location.
the apartment is very good, we liked and well located to thank the host to leave his pending arrival at that hour so late and in such a special day mother was one December 24.
Fantastic communication, nice host, perfect nearby to all locations we had to go. Everything as described. Also close to the next bus/tram/tube station. Easy check in & check out. But please: a second wardrobe in the second room would be really great! Would go there a second time next year if possible.
This place is very cheap and the location is good. All arrangements with Péter went perfectly ok and we had a great time in Budapest. Despite of this the next time we will not choose this again. The street Fö Utca is loud especially when you need to keep windows open. The ventilation system doesn´t work effectively. The pictures from the building promises too much. The building is not as clean. The general appearance is rather scruffy. We tried to use free wifi with 3 different smart phones and with one laptop but we didn't manage to use internet. Even if we checked the right passwords from Péter. After all we are more satisfied than dissapointed.
It was a nice apartement
Great vieuw at the back window.
Nice bathroom and kitchen
We also liked the breakfast at piaf and the restaurants in de neighbourhood
Thank you peter
The location of the appartement is good, its not very big, but spacious enough for 4 to 5 people on a short trip.
Unfortunately we experienced some inconveniences there. We planned to get there from lake Balaton, which is an hour away. So, as mentionend in the owners e-mails , we were there to check in at 12:00. As we arrived the mother of the owner was in stress, because the group before us, didnt hold on to their check out time. She was then rude to the group and also not really nice to us. We have to leave again, so she can clan there in peace. I can understand that, but we were travelling with two small kids and it had like 32 degrees outside and it was high noon. So guys, better check in/out management needed. When I activated wifi, I saw that I got an e-mail from the owner at 10:43, that we cannot have the appartement at 12, but at 14:00. Nice, but thats where we already travelled. After a one hour trip it was not such a big deal, but if I would have travelled longer with two kids in a hot car and then cannot get into the appartement as the agreements were made, I would have become rude.
We also travelled with a baby and prior to our journey I e-mailed the owner and asked if the baby has to pay. Nicely the answer was no, if we dont use the other linen. In fact both kids slept in our bed, so actually 5 persons used 3 beds, but payed 4. I write this because there happened then another inconvenience. When we changed diapers of our baby, a bit pee reached the bed, although we used some travelling cover. We took off the bed cover, the linen, cleaned the matress from some 4 to 5 drops with soap(+put desinfectant spray on) and flipped the matress just to see a bigger old nasty stain on it. The bed cover and linen we put on the floor, so that they know that it needs to be cleaned.
Two days later at home, I got e-mail from the owner again, telling me that he asks me to pay 20€, cause the matress needs some professionell cleaning. I told him, that I will gladly pay for that small stain we made (and also cleaned), but I cannot imagine to pay for that other nasty staines on it. Until today I didnt get an answer to my mail btw.
Also he asked me what happened to the kitchen table. That was some kind of IKEA cheap wall mounted folding table, where screws where missing, so it not only didnt work, but didnt want to stay safe on the wall so I put it on the floor so nobody gets hurt and they see it needs to be fixed.
Actually we had a nice stay there. Location, thats why I chose it, is good, appartement has what you need. But when people look so close at my mistakes , which I try to fix right away, I will also take a close look to the other side.
So, Check in not satisfying, cleaning was under stress,ok, but still not thourough. We clean always the dishes when we leave, what we found was not clean and the flat is for 5 to 6 people, most kitchen things are max. for 4 persons, watercooker and stove were in fact disgusting. Some lamps didnt work, the floor looks clean but its broken and makes you mad mad at night, squeaking at every step.
Again, I can oversee a lot and I am flexible, if you want luxury, go to 4 Seasons hotel, if you have to check your budget and you can handle some flaws take appartements like this.
Apartment is spatious enough for 5 and everything needed is available (no television). Guest beds in small bedroom are not so good. Appartment becomes very hot, even with all heatings off and windows open. Also noisy due to traffic outside and neighbours (small kids).
Location is very good and everything can be done by foot (Buda castle or Pest over chain bridge). Price very reasonable.
Peter is a nice person and tell you all info you need. Location is perfect, You can see the church from the window, and face the Palace. It's spaceful for the whole family, since there are 2 rooms. However, it's not luxury but it's economic.

A new national award has been named in honor of a physician at Wright State University School of Medicine. The National Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Association (NMPRA) created the Gary Onady Award in recognition of his "notable, extraordinary, lasting contributions" to the specialty of medicine/pediatrics (Med/Peds), which provides medical care for children and adults.
The first Onady Award was presented this spring to Heath Parker, D.O., a Med/Peds resident training at Texas A&M University's Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple, Texas. Sponsored by Weatherby Health Care, the annual award includes a $1000 cash prize.
Onady is associate professor of medicine and pediatrics and director of the Combined Medicine/Pediatrics Residency Program at Wright State. He is a member of University Medical Services Association (UMSA), the group medical practice operated by Wright State faculty, and sees patients at the Frederick A. White Health Center at Wright State and at Children's Medical Center and other area hospitals.
A 1987 graduate of Wright State University School of Medicine, Onady completed his own Med/Peds residency training at Metro General Hospital in Cleveland. He also holds a Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the City University of New York.
Physicians trained in Med/Peds can practice as pediatricians and internists, treating patients of all ages. Med/Peds as a specialty has reached "young adulthood" in recent years, according to Onady. The first combined residency was approved in 1967; today there are 102 Med/Peds residencies nationwide. A 1999 survey found that 81% of Med/Peds physicians achieve certification from both the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP).
"I chose Med/Peds as a career because I wanted diversity in my medical practice," Onady says. "As a pediatrician, I can manage a wide spectrum of acute and chronic illnesses of childhood, and I can anticipate how these will affect the child's development into adulthood. As an internist, I can combine this anticipatory guidance with health promotion and disease prevention for adults."
A case in point is cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disease that leads to destruction of the lungs and other problems. Prior to the 1940s, a CF patient's life expectancy was 6 months. With the use of antibiotics and aggressive physical therapy, over half of CF patients now survive to adulthood.
"The oldest patient in my practice is 65 years old. The majority of my CF patients are in their mid-30s," Onady says.
As a child with CF matures to adulthood, the disease's long-term complications can include diabetes, kidney and intestinal problems, progressive lung disease, and the psychosocial consequences of living with chronic illness. "All of these medical problems are in the realm of the internist's expertise, but are less familiar in the pediatric spectrum of illnesses," Onady explains. "The Med/Peds generalist is well experienced in handling many of these issues without the need for an army of sub-specialists."
During the transition from childhood to adulthood, Onady provides continuity of care for CF patients as well as their families. He believes the Med/Peds model for transitional care can be effective for managing other chronic illnesses such as childhood cancer survivors, asthma, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy.
Throughout his career Onady has been active nationally to promote medicine/pediatrics as a specialty. He served as president of the Medicine-Pediatrics Program Directors Association and represented that group on the Primary Care Organizations Consortium, which coordinates a national health-care agenda with other primary care specialties. He has consulted with the ABIM and ABP to revise the Med/Peds training curriculum. This year he became the first national advisor of the NMPRA, which represents the needs and interests of Med/Peds residents across the country.
"It has been a very rewarding experience to be involved with the NMPRA at its initiation," Onady says. "I have been fortunate to have entered Med/Peds on the ground floor so that my career has evolved along with the specialty. I hope the Onady Award will challenge future Med/Peds residents to make lasting contributions to the specialty."

The Top 60: Ignite Health
"It was a transition year, and we're proud that we held on to staff that is completely committed to what we're trying to do with clients, and that we continue to grow after the acquisition," says co-founder and CEO Jackie Herr. Revenue growth slowed to 10% compared with 36% the previous year, and Herr attributes that to post-acquisition settling in.
Ignite picked up more than 25 wins last year. All but four include both professional and consumer work, and most include interactive work. New wins include Cytyc (Adiana Female sterilization); DexCom (The Seven System); Pharmion (Vidaza Oncology); Roche (Tamiflu); Quest Diagnostics (lab testing franchise); Bayer, (Aleve); OMN (Topamax); Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (lab testing franchise); and Novartis (four products).
Long-time clients Eli Lilly and Cephalon awarded new brand assignments. Ignite resigned a few accounts and lost a Gilead product due to acquisition.
Tim Riley, co-founder and chief marketing officer, says successful integration with other inVentiv agencies was among last year's highlights. For example, Ignite and Palio co-pitched Abbott, and both agencies took home new business. "Palio's culture reminded us of our own," Riley says. "We hit it off. Working with brothers and sisters is a great thing inVentiv brings to bear."
Herr says hiring the right people has been a challenge, and Ignite has done well recruiting people with digital and b-to-b skills but limited healthcare experience. "They bring different insights," she adds. One example is VP of digital strategy Renee Sparks, a veteran consumer and b-to-b marketer who joined Ignite this spring. After suffering a heart attack, Sparks used online healthcare resources and then became passionate about finding a way to infuse her consumer marketing skills into healthcare and help companies get inside the mindset of patients and caregivers.
"People we hire understand that [online engagement] isn't just about designing a brand.com site," Riley says. "It's understanding insights of patients, caregivers, physicians and managed care, and providing multiple destinations and inroads to our content."
Ignite opened an office in Somerset, NJ, earlier this year to help serve East Coast business. Co-founder and chief innovation officer Fabio Gratton is in charge, and about 24 people have been hired already. "We want it to be a standalone group with full production capability," Herr says. "Getting anything off the ground is difficult, but we have a great team."
Both Herr and Riley agree that the industry landscape is evolving. "In five years, I don't think we're going to have 'interactive agencies' and 'full-service agencies,'" Riley says. "Full service has to become interactive. Pharma is going to move more online because it provides forum for fair balance. Agencies need to move with them. That goes for the consumer world, too. We're blessed to be at the forefront of this. We rode the digital wave right up."

Chains catering to business travelers and extended-stay guests, where free breakfast has become part of the deal, are offering a wider variety of menu items, sprucing up dining areas and adjusting to the USA's ever-changing healthy-eating trends
Hampton Inn spent $14 million to introduce hot breakfasts last year. Marriott's Residence Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites and SpringHill Suites also have upgraded their free-breakfast services in the past year.
Complimentary breakfasts consistently rank near the top of a list of items considered important by guests at midlevel hotels. The hotel industry, enjoying a post-Sept. 11 boom, now has the financial wherewithal and competitive incentives to upgrade.
At Hampton Inn, about 90% of guests eat complimentary breakfast, Hampton's Phil Cordell estimates.
Midprice hotels at one time stressed comfortable rooms, but did little with food, Cordell says. "But we've come long way in realizing that breakfasts are important. ... And we made incremental steps along the way."
Higher expectations
The breakfast battle reflects the industry's attempt to respond to the tastes and behaviors of a changing clientele. More than their elders, Generation X customers, the 60 million Americans from age 24 to 40, tend to have a sense of entitlement. Hotels are catering to those higher expectations with improved breakfasts, says Staybridge's Robert Radomski.
Some trends:
•Wider choices. Hot meals, including bacon and eggs, have become common, replacing continental breakfasts. At the Residence Inn, customers can make their own waffles or their own yogurt parfait. Hampton Inn has introduced French toast and breakfast burritos.
•Healthier menus. Hotels are catering to guests who are counting carbs or watching their calorie and cholesterol intake. Freshly cut fruit, bananas and apples have replaced frozen fruit at Staybridge Suites. Pastries are smaller, and sugar-rich items such as Danishes are disappearing at SpringHill Suites.
•Sleeker look. A contemporary and crisp décor is emerging at some hotels as they become mindful of food presentation.
Residence Inn, SpringHill and Hampton Inn have gone to stainless-steel appliances. Bowls and containers at some of the hotels resemble those sold at high-end retailer Crate & Barrel. Residence Inn had bowls and other serving pieces made to its specifications.
•More to-go options. Because many guests are rushing to catch a morning flight that offers no meal, some hotels are offering breakfast to go. Hampton Inn offers breakfast in a bag — a bottle of water, a muffin, a cereal bar and fresh fruit.
Keeping up a habit
"It's a big plus for me," says Chicago-based consultant Andy Khorshid, of the changes. "Being on the road, it's hard for me to have regimented meals. I've noticed especially that they're better at having a lot of variety."
Guests tend to cling to their breakfast habits when traveling more than they do with other meals of the day, says Staybridge's Radomski. One way to meet the challenge of varying habits is to offer more breakfast choices, he says.
In its new breakfast program launched in March, Residence Inn responded to guests' demand for certain comfort foods. For example, the chain provides sausages and potatoes daily, says Jeremy Dodson of Marriott.
Residence Inn is providing olives and jalapeños for guests who favor breakfast sandwiches or burritos. It has also introduced more types of waffles, including blueberry and chocolate.
Rotating menu
Hampton Inn's hot-meal program now has five rotating menus, each consisting of two items.
"We probably looked at 100 different kinds of egg products during research," Cordell says.
Competition is adding fuel to the fire. Holiday Inn Express typically provides limited continental breakfasts. But those facing competitors nearby have begun offering hot meals, says Verchele Mills of Holiday Inn. Of the 1,300 Holiday Express locations, those with hot breakfasts have doubled to 300 in the past year. Marriott is also considering improvements at its extended-stay TownPlace Suites, which serve only continental breakfast.
Hotels are also reacting to guests' healthy eating trends. Staybridge, an upscale extended-stay chain, views healthier food as a key part of its image, Radomski says.
At two test hotels, Staybridge has removed prepackaged items, such as toaster pastries and granola bars. It also serves fresh oat meal and fruit.
Grain cereals have replaced replace sugar cereals. The number of bakery items has been reduced to contain "healthier and better" ones, bought from local bakeries, he says.
The program will be rolled out to about half of Staybridge hotels by September.

2016 GTAGaming Database Compromised
GTAGaming.com - Website Updates | @ 08:37 AM MDT | By GTAGaming
It is unfortunate that the first news item in quite some time is to inform viewers of a recent breach of GTAGaming's secure data.
We believe our forum database has recently been compromised, which has given hackers access to email addresses, hashed passwords, and any other details you may have saved in your profiles. Upon logging into the site you will find you are forced to change your password, and shortly we will be force resetting all passwords not updated. We also recommend changing your password on any site(s) that may have used the same one.
We have now closed the forums permanently, and any accounts not updated within the next couple weeks will be deleted from the database. We will be moving the account database into a more secure authentication system, removing all trace of the vBulletin forum software, and until then will be keeping a close eye to prevent any further compromises.
Beyond that, we don't know what the future of this site will be. This marks our 13th year online, and the 8th year online for GTA4-Mods.com, but recently - as any visitor or modder would have noticed - both sites have fallen further and further into neglect with no staff to maintain them. It was our intent to at least keep the sites online as long as possible for access to our massive file library of mods and tools, but as being hacked is not in anyone's best interests, if we cannot successfully maintain a secure account database for our users, we may need to consider closing both sites.
For now, we apologize for this inconvenience, and hope that no one is any further affected by this database breach.

2012 Whatever happened to Grand Theftendo?
Grand Theft Auto III - General News | @ 12:00 AM MDT | By Ash_735
You remember Grand Theftendo right? We only reported on it back in October of 2004! The project that was started by Brian Provinciano to recreate Grand Theft Auto III on the NES hardware, developed between 2002 and 2005, the project was eventually put on hold because it was about to become an entirely different beast altogether, but there is footage of the original version around the internet, such as this clip below:
So what happened? Well as development grew, Brian found ways to get even more out of the NES hardware, the project, while still focused on Grand Theft Auto III, eventually started to include reference and jokes to other games of yesteryear. The project then got bigger, shifting development from NES to PC, a couple more people got involved to help with the art and soundtrack and with time this little Grand Theft Auto III demake evolved into the indie game known today as Retro City Rampage by Vblank Entertainment (a company founded by Brian Provinciano). Now, a lot of you guys might be around the same age as me and grew up playing games from the late NES era to the SNES and Genesis/Mega Drive era from a very young age, so some of you might remember playing games like Contra, Mega Man, Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, Final Fight, etc, so for me at least, having a game that was rooted as a Grand Theft Auto III homage then evolve to reference other games of that era is interesting and worth keeping an eye on because, at it's most basic, it's a Grand Theft Auto game of that time, which we never got. You can check out a trailer for Retro City Rampage below:
Retro City Rampage "Big News" Trailer 2012 from Vblank on Vimeo.
Retro City Rampage is currently slated for a May release and will be available via Steam, Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network (both for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita) and WiiWare. The PC version is currently available to pre-order Here.

Luckily though, for the extremely late comers, Pop-Fiction is here to ask that question and give the answer!

2012 Grand Theft Auto III: Asked & Answered in Full
Grand Theft Auto III - General News | @ 12:00 PM MDT | By Ash_735
Rockstar says:
It may now seem obvious that people should all talk in games, but this was not necessarily the case in 2001, certainly not in an open world game. We were making up a lot of procedures as we went along, and we decided that the NPCs (Non Playable Characters) should talk and we would have to figure out how to make them talk (using motion captured cutscenes, something that had never really been done before, at least not on the scale we were doing it). So we decided that the game's protagonist would not talk, partly to aid people identifying with him, but mostly because we had so many other problems to solve and this did not seem like a major issue. We started to discuss introducing a talking lead character when working on Vice City, but it was a lot of work. While the structure of GTA3 may seem obvious or natural now, and the use of cutscenes made in the game's engine that look and feel like the game may seem simple and easy, it really was not the case back in 2001 when we had to figure out all of these things for the first time. Oh and in San Andreas, CJ calls Claude a mute because he does not talk and CJ finds this unnerving.
Rockstar says:
This is fake. This is an old bit of gameplay footage, for sure, but we think the voices were added at a later date by someone online as at no point did we plan for Claude to have a voice or even design how a speaking protagonist would be implemented until Vice City.
Rockstar says:
There wasn't any one single inspiration – we just liked the idea of a strong, silent killer, who would be juxtaposed with all of these neurotic and verbose mobsters in an amusing way. He seems stronger and in control, while they seem weaker and frantic.
Rockstar says:
He's a bank robber with a noisy and psychotic girlfriend. More than that, it is hard to say. Definitely a drifter, probably from the west coast, new to Liberty City. Surname may or may not be Speed.
Rockstar says:
We're not sure about this. Some think he did, and some think he didn't. Certainly in an original version of the script, Maria had a longer, really annoying speech, but then someone in the audio department wisely put an end to that. Quite what that means for Maria, who can say.
Rockstar says:
Darkel was just a crazy bum who gave you some crazy missions. They were removed a few months before the game was done and long before 9/11 because they just weren't as good as the rest of the game, and tonally they were a little odd. He started with 5 missions and they were slowly all cut. When only one or 2 were left, they were all removed as the character just didn't work alongside the other characters.
None of these missions involved blowing up buses of school children although that is a funny rumor!
Rockstar says:
No. The guys at Rockstar North are far too busy working on future stuff to ever figure out how to fix these old unfinished missions and get them running.
Rockstar says:
El Burro is referenced as he was also referenced in GTA 1, so it felt appropriate that he should cross "universes" – the "universes" are the worlds interpreted at different definitions, 2d, 3d and high definition, so we felt brands and radio / back ground characters would exist in both, but 3 dimensional characters would not. This is the logic (as far as it could be considered logical) behind it – so no, we don't believe any GTA3 characters could exist in the GTA4 universe.
Rockstar says:
He is a character from an early piece of concept art by our long standing character concept artist at Rockstar North, Ian McQue, that Stephen Bliss (who is one of the guys who illustrates our Grand Theft Auto cover art) liked and used to make a cool piece of montage art that embodied the game – we were less concerned with the art really representing characters as much as capturing the vibe of the game – so some of the characters in the art are not necessarily game characters. We did not really think the characters would be such a big deal until after the game came out.
Rockstar says:
About 1% different. We removed only one mission that referenced terrorists and changed a few other cosmetic details – car details, a couple of ped comments, lines of radio dialogue etc – the game came out a very short time later. The biggest change was the US packaging which remixed the previous packaging into what became our signature style – because the previous packaging [which was released as the cover of the game in Europe] was, we felt, too raw after 9/11. All of the more extreme rumours are amusing but impossible to have been achieved in such a short period of time.
Rockstar says:
No. As above, it really was not very much stuff – just one mission and other than that some superficial and cosmetic details.
Rockstar says:
Yes – it is meant to be part of Liberty City.
Rockstar says:
We didn't take an island out of the game. There were only ever the three. We think what people refer to as "ghost town" is just the small area of a city we built for the bank heist scene at the very start of the game. It never had a name, but we wanted it to be somewhere separate from the liberty map and so we built these few streets floating in space and assumed no one would ever find them. We noticed someone built a bridge mod so you can actually drive there now - amazing…
Rockstar says:
Because we were making a driving and shooting game - even that, as a combination of core gameplay elements, was very, very radical at the time. The Dodo was never meant to be flown very much at all, and it certainly wasn't grounded as a result of 9/11 – it was just a fun thing that people then went crazy with when they figured out various bugs that let them fly it!
Rockstar says:
There was never meant to be anything on the other end of the tunnel, we were just playing with ways to make the world feel like it continues past the physical boundary. It's something that we've been pushing in all sorts of ways ever since, making the world you experience as a player feel like it's part of something bigger. This tunnel was one of our first little baby steps in that direction.
Rockstar says:
We played around with the idea of multiplayer back then but never got very far with it. At the time, we decided to make Vice City instead of dedicating a big team to multiplayer, as we did not feel it would ever really be good enough. When we finally made a multiplayer game, we wanted it to rival the fun and experience of single player, and this was something not possible until much later.
Rockstar says:
The pedestrian squishing sound was made up from a combination of squelchy sounds that Rockstar North Audio Designer, Allan Walker recorded live (Rockstar North Lead Music Producer, Craig Conner seems to recall crushing fruit and raw chicken in a vocal booth...) and then they added a few more layers from our SFX library.
Rockstar says:
No, not true. However it does look (but not sound) like a relative of his.
Rockstar says:
They are long. Very long. And they only seem to get bigger with each subsequent Grand Theft Auto production. Check out the image set below which shows a picture of the GTA3 script alongside the GTAIV script for some sense of what we mean.

It seems like just yesterday that Republicans' worst fear was that a divisive culture warrior in the form of a Michele Bachmann or a Rick Santorum would secure the nomination for president. Then, staid old Mitt Romney, the Brooks Brothers suit of candidates, dispatched his more ideologically flamboyant competitors in the primaries and it seemed like the party finally settled on a candidate who could seriously challenge President Obama.
But just when it was beginning to feel safe for independents fed up with Obama's economy to consider voting for Romney -- because maybe his starchy temperament and fixation on the bottom line might do the trick -- he goes abroad and reinvents himself as a defender of superior cultures around the world.
At an event for campaign donors in Israel on Monday, Romney mused about why some countries are more economically successful than others, and tied Israeli culture to its economic progress and gross domestic product, drawing a negative comparison to the less prosperous areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority. "You look at Israel and you say you have a hard time suggesting that all of the natural resources on the land could account for all the accomplishment of the people here," Romney said. " ... If you can learn anything from the economic history of the world, it's this: Culture makes all the difference."
Quickly, Saeb Erekat, a senior aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, rebuked Romney, calling his comment "a racist statement" from a man who "doesn't realize that the Palestinian economy cannot reach its potential because there is an Israeli occupation."
Is Mitt Romney Channeling Michele Bachmann?

A brand new MegaMan game! That *DOESN'T* star MegaMan!comments powered by Disqus
Posted on Friday, September 13 2013 @ 12:41:49 PST
This member blog post was promoted to the GameRevolution homepage.[Originally posted Mon. Sept. 2]
Meet Beck. No, I don't mean the singer, I mean the robot.
Beck, a.k.a. Mighty No. 9, is the star of a new game under development called, oh so creatively, Mighty No. 9.
Beck looks almost like a rip-off of a certain well-known video game robot, doesn't he? And if you learn more about Mighty No. 9 at its Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9), that rip-off appearance will only grow, what with the side-scrolling platforming and six-to-eight robot master bosses that are promised. However, it's not as rip-off-y as all that, as the creator and main mind behind Mighty No. 9 is Keiji Inafune himself, one of the primary creators of the original MegaMan series.
While the info on the Kickstarter is a bit coy, Mr. Inafune's video at the top of the page says that he left Capcom and formed his new production company, Comcept (http://www.comcept.co.jp/en/), when a project of his was cancelled (MegaMan Legends 3, perhaps). Whatever the case, it seems clear that Mr. Inafune wanted to stay on MegaMan, but Capcom had other ideas.
Why did Capcom not want to publish another MegaMan game? Only they know, but the bottom line must have been, well, the bottom line. Most likely, they thought there wouldn't be enough gamers willing to buy it to make the project profitable.
Well, they might be right, but Mighty No. 9's Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9) offers a persuasive argument to the contrary. It has only been running since the evening of Saturday August 31, and has already surpassed its goal of $900,000. In fact, as of the time of this blog post, less than 48 hours after the Kickstarter went live, it's gone well over the $1 million mark.
Let me repeat that: Over $1 million in less than two days. Pretty impressive for Mr. Inafune's homage to MegaMan.
Right now, Mighty No. 9 is going to be Windows only. However, the stretch goals include versions for both Linux and Macintosh and eventually consoles. The console inclusion doesn't come until the $2.5 million mark, which seems pretty high. Until you remember the bit about over $1 million in less than two days. Then, suddenly, $2.5 million doesn't sound so unattainable.
So, MegaMan fans, rejoice. The Blue Bomber isn't going to be making any non Smash Bros appearances any time soon (that we know of, at least), but we still get to look forward to some classic robot blasting action.
Currently, the release of Mighty No. 9 appears to be slated for Spring of 2015. However, there's yet to be a formal release window announcement.
UPDATE ON WED. SEPT. 4: As of this morning, the Mighty No. 9 kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9) blew past the $1.5 million mark, reaching the third stretch goal. In response, the team behind the game announced that they would be moving the console stretch goal up by a few hundred thousand bucks. An excerpt of that announcement follows:
"Of course, it's no surprise our backers would request Mighty No. 9 for console systems -- they are the traditional home for this genre, after all -- but what we weren't prepared for was the intense, consistent, all-consuming passion you did it with! We realized the other stretch goals we had planned would be more welcome after this overriding priority, where they wouldn't pale so much in comparison.
"And that's why we're happy to announce that, because of your feedback, we are officially pushing back the unannounced "???" goals in order to move the making-of documentary $250K closer, and yes -- the PS3/360/Wii U versions of the game $300K closer as well! :D As for the tiers that follow, we're currently revisiting our longer-term stretch goal plan based on this big change as well as other ideas we had (and of course, your feedback)."
The opinions expressed here does not necessarily reflect the views of Game Revolution, but we believe it's worthy of being featured on our site. This article has been lightly edited for grammar and image inclusion. You can find more Vox Pop articles here. ~Ed. Nick Tan

Like Ernest Hemingway? Help Preserve Canada's Public Domain
Canada celebrated New Year's Day this year by welcoming the likes of Ernest Hemingway and Carl Jung into the public domain just as European countries were celebrating the arrival of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf, 20 years after both entered the Canadian public domain.
Canada's term of copyright meets the international standard of life of the author plus 50 years, which has now become a competitive advantage when compared to the United States, Australia, and Europe, which have copyright terms that extend an additional 20 years (without any evidence of additional public benefits).
In an interesting coincidence, the Canadian government filed notice of a public consultation on December 31, 2011 on the possible Canadian entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations, trade talks that could result in an extension in the term of copyright that would mean nothing new would enter the Canadian public domain until 2032 or beyond.
The TPP covers a wide range of issues, but its intellectual property rules as contemplated by leaked U.S. drafts would extend the term of copyright, require even stricter digital lock rules, restrict trade in parallel imports, and increase various infringement penalties. As I noted last month, if Canada were to ratify the TPP, it would require another copyright bill to undo much of what the government is about to enact with Bill C-11.
A recent study on the implications of the copyright provisions point to many concerns including:
-extend the current term of copyright protection from the current Canadian law of life of the author plus an additional 50 years to life plus 70 years. The additional 20 years goes beyond international law requirements and has been widely criticized by many groups.
-new digital lock rules that would increase penalties for circumvention and restrict the ability to create new digital lock exceptions. While Bill C-11 is far more restrictive than necessary to comply with the WIPO Internet treaties, it does include a mechanism to identify new exceptions.
-new statutory damages provisions that could require the government to reverse the changes found in Bill C-11 that distinguish between commercial and non-commercial infringement.
-new rights management information rules that would lower the standard for violation and extend the scope of prohibited activities.
-new enforcement requirements that may require the disclosure of personal information without any privacy safeguards
-new copyright criminalization requirements even in cases that "have no direct or indirect motivation of financial gain." The criminal provision also cover "aiding and abetting," which may be applied to Internet providers.
-new ISP liability provisions that would require a notice-and-takedown system contrary to the approach established under Bill C-11
-a new requirement to provide copyright owners with an exclusive right to block "parallel trade" of copyrighted works. This would stop the importation of a copyrighted work from one country where the good is voluntarily placed on the market to another country where the same good at the same price is unavailable. The Supreme Court of Canada looked specifically at these issues several years ago and rejected attempts to use copyright to stop such activities.
The concerns with the TPP do not stop with copyright. Proposed patent rules would alter the scope of what is patentable under Canadian law, extend patent terms, and create triple damage awards for patent infringements.
Canada has not participated in the negotiations, but is now considering doing so. The government consultation on the possible participation states:
The Government is embarking on a public consultation process to allow all interested stakeholders an early opportunity to provide comments, input and advice on possible free trade negotiations with TPP countries (current nine members and other interested countries: Japan and Mexico). It is essential that the Government of Canada be fully aware of the interests and potential sensitivities of Canadians with respect to this initiative. We welcome advice and views on any priorities, objectives and concerns relating to possible free trade negotiations with TPP countries.
Among the specific issues it mentions are the intellectual property provisions.
Now is the opportunity to help preserve the public domain in Canada by speaking out against TPP copyright provisions that would extend the term of copyright or impose even stricter digital lock rules. The consultation is open until February 14, 2012. All it takes a single email with your name, address, and comments on the issue. The email can be sent to consultations@ international.gc.ca.
Alternatively, submissions can be sent by fax (613-944-3489) or mail (Trade Negotiations Consultations (TPP), Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, Trade Policy and Negotiations Division II (TPW), Lester B. Pearson Building, 125 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G2).
The TPP would require a massive overhaul of Canadian intellectual property law, far beyond that envisioned by either Bill C-11 or even the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). The impact on the public domain would be incredibly damaging, effectively blocking the entry of new works for the next two decades. Canadians should speak out now to ensure that the government does not cave on copyright term extension.

The author of the iconic Lord of the Rings trilogy died in 1973, meaning his work enters the public domain in Canada in 2023 -- unless Canada signs on to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, delaying Tolkien's move to the public domain until 2043.
The French-Canadian author of The Tin Flute and other seminal Canadian novels passed away in 1983. Under the TPP, her works would enter the public domain in 2053 instead of 2033.
Considered one of America's best authors, having penned such works as The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying, Faulkner passed away in 1962, meaning his works should enter Canada's public domain this year. But if Canada joins the TPP, that will be delayed until 2032.
Canada's foremost twentieth-century media critic was best known for having coined the terms "global village" and "the medium is the message," and some credit him with having predicted the Internet three decades in advance. McLuhan's death in 1980 means his works would enter the public domain in 2030, but may be delayed to 2050 if Canada joins the TPP.
The author of the libertarian classics The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged and a favourite of the Tea Party movement would likely be pleased to hear her books will continue to make a profit for her publishers until 2053, if Canada joins the TPP.
The man the Canadian Encyclopedia calls "one of Canada's greatest poets and a leading figure in Jewish-Canadian culture" passed away in 1972. His works are 10 years away from public domain under current law, but may be delayed to 2043 if Canada joins the TPP.
The author of The Grapes of Wrath, East of Eden and Of Mice and Men died in 1968. His books are currently six years away from public domain status in Canada, but the TPP could delay that until 2038.
Considered one of Canada's foremost historians, Creighton wrote the The Young Politician and the Old Chieftain, a biography of John A. MacDonald that won the Governor General's Award. Creighton passed away in 1979. His works are set to enter the public domain in 2029 -- 2049 if Canada joins the TPP.
It's hard to keep track of how many of Dick's works have become Hollywood movies, but the 1980s cult classic Blade Runner is just the first in a list that includes Total Recall, Minority Report and The Adjustment Bureau. Dick died in 1982, meaning his works enter the public domain in 2033 -- unless the TPP delays that to 2053. (And yes, we're aware that's a picture of Harrison Ford.)
The most prominent of the Beatnik writers, Kerouac wrote On The Road, The Dharma Bums and Big Sur. His death in 1969 puts his works in Canada's public domain by 2019, but that could be delayed to 2039 under the TPP.

Glucosamine & MSM Description from Now
Glucosamine is an essential substrate for the formation of glycoaminoglycans (GAG's) and proteoglycans, which are the main components of cartilage tissue. GAG's and proteoglycans trap and hold water, forming a dense fluid cushion within the joint and thus, provide lubrication and shock absorption. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural source of organic sulfur, a mineral necessary for the production of proteoglycans.* NOW's unique and synergistic formula is suitable for vegetarians, because it contains only Glucosamine from a vegetarian source and not from shellfish.
Contains shellfish (crab, shrimp, lobster, crayfish).
Cellulose (capsule), Stearic Acid (vegetable source) and Magnesium (vegetable source).
Manufacturer's Directions
As a dietary supplement, take 2 Vcaps® daily with food or on an empty stomach

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Truth or Dare (08/28/08)
By mick dawson
'Then why not make your feelings known?' The Forgotten One pressed.
The hero of Caliet removed the hessian bag from his head in answer. An uneasy silence followed as he lowered his head to the ground.
The Forgotten One stared in horror at the hideous wreck beneath the mask for the first time. Craters exhibited themselves all over his scalp as he lowered his head to the ground. Grotesque wisps of hair draped over the horrid lesions.
'My owner did this,' he said with his gaze still at his own feet. 'As I have told you before, my only friend, I was a tumbler in a travelling show of freaks.'
The Forgotten One nodded.
'I do not say this out of vanity but I was once a handsome man…not that I was ever a success with the ladies.'
Civa sighed, shrugging before going on.
'The ringmaster was reluctant to allow me to leave his show as I fattened his purse more than his other exhibits combined.
Sons and daughters of Nusalle he would shout to the crowds…I give you the "Cat man." This one has gristle for bones! He would say.
The Forgotten One watched as the tumbler replaced his mask over his head.
'What happened?' queried the ex-guardsman.
'He glued the mask to my head so that I could not remove it, thus I was forced to continue on with him until someone paid for my freedom…'
Laughter erupted again from the Lady Nolga, jolting his thoughts back to the present. He grinned faintly to himself, glad that he had introduced the two to each other. They seemed to be getting on well. In time, he felt assured that Civa's confidence would build in her company.
Already enamoured with his charm he knew that when the day came that he'd reveal his face, she wouldn't be repulsed by what lie beneath. They appeared to mutter in low tones but the bandaged warrior could tell that they spoke on intimate things. The Lady Nolga rolled her eyes in contemplation before giving an answer to his question.
'Now for you,' she said. 'Remove your mask.'
'I cannot, my lady.'
'Then you must speak a truth; why do you wear it?'
The Forgotten One thought his heart would wrench itself in half on the behalf of his friend, knowing that he could do neither the truth nor the dare.
'Nolga,' said the axeman. 'The dare you have set for Civa is no challenge at all. Let us set him something far more worthy.'
Pointing his bandaged limb through the window, he indicated a broken weather vane, on a rooftop several streets away.
'There, he is to retrieve the rooster on that vane before you can finish that song of your village you sing so well.'
'So dangerous a task?' gasped Nolga.
'Fear not, he has gristle for bones,' he grinned aside. 'But nonetheless, let there be a reward for the task. If he does it, it would be for a kiss; do you agree to this?'
Before she could answer, Civa dived through the opening.
Nolga and The Forgotten One leaned through to see his heels slide down a lower roof and dive over the edge for a clothesline. Like the apes of Kundra, he swung from one rope to the next; advancing across the cobbled lanes faster than any man could sprint.
Letting go at the apex of his swing, Civa dropped to an open window, rolling within. Moments later, they saw him re-emerge at the uppermost window of the building and leapt through.
Nolga screamed, yet breathed somewhat easier when she saw him catch hold of the underside of the overhanging eave, arcing up and over on top of the roof.
Civa clambered upward against the slippery shingles until he wrestled the rooster free.
'You did not sing,' reminded The Forgotten One.
'I did in my mind,' assured Nolga.
'How far did you get?'
'I had three verses to go.'
'Well I had best be going,' he said, kissing her cheek. 'I hope you do not relinquish on that kiss. Civa may be hideous to look upon but I have never known a more beautiful soul.'
'I could already tell this,' she assured him.
Saying no more, The Forgotten One took up his axe to walk out into the street. A smile drifted over his features at the thought that two more people would no longer tread this earth in loneliness.

Picture the scene. Drew and I are driving to one of the late night preview showings of the U.S. hit horror film Paranormal Activity. It's Friday 13th, the cinema is situated just a stone's throw away from the beach and the UK's South West coast is being battered by one of the worst storms of the year.
The movie's opening introduction leads you believe that the events are based on a true story. It informs us that Paramount would like to thank the families of Micah and Katie, as well as the San Diego Police Department, for their co-operation and support with the film. The film is the story of Katie and Micah, a carefree couple who become haunted by a presence in their home. They decide to capture video evidence of the increasingly bizarre and escalating intrusions of what turns out to be a demonic presence in their house.
The movie starts with Micah testing out the camera which he's bought to document the incidents that have started to occur in the home he shares with Katie. It's all very cute and twee between the couple as the play with their new toy. There's nothing to hint that there's anything really happening that has them worried for their safety. Having finally gotten into the bed, the camera set up on a tripod records the sleeping couple. This we see speeded up until something important happens, which we as the viewer (voyuer?) have to see. At first, we hear noises emanating from various parts of the house. During the day, objects are found not in their usual place and so on.
We soon find out that Katie has been experiencing these paranormal activities since the age of eight. During a visit from Dr. Fredrichs, a self-professed psychic, he assesses that they are being plagued by a demon which feeds off "negative energy" and is intent on haunting Katie no matter where she goes. Dr. Fredrichs also recommends the two contact Dr. Abrams, a demonologist. Micah's reluctance to do so and his need to capture more evidence leads to frequent arguments between the couple. In fact, while Katie just wants to end the haunting, Micah seems hell bent on provoking the demon and playing the part of the boyfriend defending his distressed girlfriend.
As the tension builds between the two protagonists so does the demonic acts plaguing the beleaguered couple. For those audience members caught up in the movie the night time scenes are very tense and at times very frightening.
Paranormal Activity is similar to The Blair Witch Project, with a tiny cast, small budget and minimal special effects. From happy go lucky characters at the start of the film, to tense feelings towards each of the characters at the end, Paranormal Activity also follows a familiar path. In fact, one night time scene where Katie spends hours standing over Micah as he sleeps reminded me of Mikey from The Blair Witch Project. That film's mythology has one victim standing still in the corner of a room while the Blair Witch kills another.
As for the "self-filmed" quality of the movie, what I like was that the beginning of the movie had Katie chastise Micah for spending more money than agreed on a big camera and good microphones. For the most part, the camera is also static, either on it's tripod or on a table or counter. The only time the camera is moving is when Micah or Katie are trying to document the demon's activity and it's so much a better film for it.
When the special effects include a hair dryer and talcum powder you know you're in trouble.
This movie was always going to divide opinion between Drew and I. He doesn't "do" mocukmentory or schlock horror films, whereas I love them. Also anything that is, or even made out to be, based on true events scares the shit out of me. For Drew it was more a case of chuckling at the lacklustre special effects and holding my hand when I started to get freaked. And although you could argue that the film was nothing more than a build up to two very quick successive scares, I leave you with this thought – I spent the following two hours after viewing Paranormal Activity in front of the TV watching comedy and trying not to think about going to bed and demonic hauntings.
Paranormal Activity will open in cinemas everywhere across the UK on Wednesday 25th November 2009.

5 Things We're Buzzing About This Cyber Monday
Every Monday we bring you the SL Hot List, a round up of the five latest and greatest things to hit the South. Consider it your weekly update on our region's most buzzworthy food, culture, and style news. This week, we help you get started on your holiday shopping.
1. Flash sales go local. If you're a savvy shopper in search of great Cyber Monday deals, head over to The Makery, a flash-sale site featuring handmade goods by all North Carolina artisans. Founded by three creative sisters, Sarah Rose, Krista Anne, and Brita Nordgren, The Makery is stocked with gifts you'll actually want to give: travel atlas journals, tribal purses, and statement-making necklaces (see above). You'll have to move fast to snap up accessories, apparel, and homegoods during the holiday shop's three-week run.
2. Neiman Marcus/Target collaboration. The Texas-bred grande dame of department stores teamed up with Target for an all-star designer collection, and it will all be yours for the gifting on Saturday in stores and online. Get up early to snag limited-edition holiday presents from bikes to barware from 24 designers such as Lela Rose (another Dallas native), Oscar de la Renta, and Diane von Furstenberg.
3. Holiday shopping at Porter Flea. Skip the mall and head to Porter Flea at Marathon Music Works in Nashville on Saturday. Get your indie-craft fix with handmade books from LinenLaidFelt, modern wood jewelry from Acorn and Archer, curated vintage items from mobile shop Honeybean Boutique, and more. You'll be happy you skipped the food court when you're chowing down on food truck fare from The Waffle Boss and Pizza Buds.
4. Urban Farm Bicycle Tour. Some of the best gifts favor experiences over things. Treat your loved one to a ride-and-grub tour of Austin's exciting food scene. The self-guided tour includes (optional) stops at 20 urban farms and community gardens such as HausBar Farms where you'll watch chef demos and sample fresh produce. The farm-to-ten-speed event kicks off Eat Drink Local Week 2012, and tickets are $35-$40.
5. A captivating coffee table book. Photographer (and assistant professor of Southern Studies at Ole Miss) David Wharton travelled the region from Texas and Tennessee to snap photos for his recently released book Small Town South. Having spent his summers as a kid in rural North Carolina, David grew up familiar with spirit of the small town and captured the juxtaposition of the past with the present (such as the above photo in Opelousas, Louisiana). Meet David and get a copy of his book at Square Books in Oxford, Mississippi on Tuesday.

Snoop Dogg Targets the Ladies on Next LP
Snoop Dogg may have released his last album, 'Malice n Wonderland,' just six months ago, but he's already thinking about the next LP and what direction it will take. Instead of delving into more hardcore topics over thuggish beats, Snoop plans on making more female-friendly tracks for his next album, which will be much less chauvinistic and objectifying than previous efforts.
"I gotta tone it down,' he told 'The Sun' of his eleventh studio album. "I've always given my female fans bits and pieces and I feel like I owe them a whole record."
Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Cordozar Calvin Broadus, has notoriously made aggressively sexual records since he dropped his debut, 'Doggystyle,' in 1992, calling women "hoes" and "bitches" on songs throughout his career. But more recently, he has been making an effort to create records for the ladies, dedicating the single 'Gangsta Luv,' off 'Malice n Wonderland,' to women.
His more sensitive lyrics have served him well on the charts, with Katy Perry's 'California Gurls,' which features the emcee, charting at No. 1 on the Billboard 100. On the track, he raps, "Toes, tanned / Fit and ready/ Turn it up 'cause it's gettin' heavy/ Wild, wild West coast/ These are the girls I love the most."
'Malice n Wonderland,' released in December 2009, was greeted with favorable reviews, but was Snoop's lowest charting album in his career. Debuting at No. 23 with only 59,000 copies sold in its first week, the album featured guest appearances from Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, R. Kelly, Brandy, Jazmine Sullivan and more, and featured production from The Neptunes, Nottz, Danja and Lil' Jon, among others.

Hey I'm just trying to help. By offering realistic suggestions, based on having been there and done that. You are confusing me too in your last post you said you would consider costs maybe after the prototype was built. Then You say that with computer design it's not needed. Well I hate to be the one to tell you this but just about every company that builds anything still prototypes. Even when they use computer aided design. And My point about building the directional boring machines and having 3 engineering firms on the design, seemed to be lost on you too. One firm was a hydraulic engineering firm. One was a electrical engineering firm. And one was for structural engineering. Plus we had the engine manufacture's engineering division there too. (That one was the Caterpillar tractor company) And on top of all that the owner of the company that dreamed up the idea in the first place was himself a engineer. Why would this Man use that many engineering firms to help him build something that had never been done before, And build scale prototypes to test before comiting to full size prototypes that cost in 1985 dollars close to 6 million to build. I don't know maybe he just wanted to burn money. But he was successful the day He died he was worth billions. But You said I don't know why you would need those other firms, And yet you by your own admission say that you know next to nothing about engines. And in your last post you said you didn't want to compete with the other manufactures you wanted to join them. And finely when you go to join them the first thing they WILL ask is what kind of performance can you get from your tractor. Ours can plow 280 acres a hour. Then you stand there and say well my computer testing shows I can get 300 acres a hour. So then they ask well have you built a prototype to test this? Your answer no but the computer says it will. Ok they say what is it going to cost to build each unit, We know that our unit's cost 72,000 to build each. And We sell them for 210,000 each. So what is the cost of production for your tractor. Well I really don't know as I didn't figure that was important. The result: Meeting over thanks for coming. I really hope I'm wrong about this. But if you are successful and can actually get this in production come back on this site and tell us how you did. I know this sounds mean but it is based on Me trying the same thing you are trying to do many times. I could give you examples but I don't think You are interested. But I will leave you with one thing. I never even mentioned the biggest wall you will have to get around. The old standby for most company's, "If it wasn't developed here we aren't interested." Do some searching about inventor's and see how many time that has come up for inventors trying to submit their ideas. Hope this helps Bill
