Ten RecordSetter world records set by Coloradoans, including most questions asked in a drive-thru
The core philosophy of Corey Henderson and Dan Rollman's book, The RecordSetter Book of World Records, is that everyone can be the world's best at something -- even if it is something ridiculous. They'll sign their book tonight at the Tattered Cover LoDo and tomorrow at the Boulder Bookstore. In addition to the signing, the audience can also help set records on the spot. In Denver, they'll attempt to set the record for the largest group to dance the Macarena in a bookstore, and in Boulder, the most people to eat peanut butter cups at one time. In advance of their visit, we took a loot at the top ten records set by people in Colorado.10. Tallest Poker Chip SculptureThe RecordSetter:
Robert "Death" of ArvadaThe Record:
Without the use of any adhesives, this Arvada guy built a poker chip sculpture that stands 200 chips high.
9. Most Facebook Friends The RecordSetter: Jonah Werner of Boulder The Record: Since the limit for number of Facebook friends is 5,000, it's pretty amazing that Werner somehow managed to get 5,003. While this is impressive in the Internet world, ultimately, it's kind of a bummer: A Cornell study found that people with more friends on Facebook tend to have less in real life.8. Most Pokemon Characters Named In 30 SecondsThe RecordSetter:
Ben Kula of Estes ParkThe Record:
It's great that there's a place where people can be honored for naming 43 Pokemon characters by memory in thirty seconds. And that's exactly what Kula does.7. Most Questions Asked During a Single Drive-Thru visitThe RecordSetter:
Steve Fester of DenverThe Record:
Fester drives a poor McDonald's worker crazy by asking 33 questions through the intercom at the drive-thru window, ending up only purchasing a small coffee for $1.04.6. Most Times To Pass Pillow With Feet By Four People In One MinuteThe RecordSetters:
Neal, Jon, Connor, and Kaleb Babcock of Fort CollinsThe Record:

Chris Sacca of Pagosa SpringsThe Record:
It's hard to just eek out one push up, let alone the 25 Sacca does with his body straddling both the east and west sides of the Continental Divide.3. Most 133 BPM Vinyl Mixes In One HourThe RecordSetter:
Nathaniel Lemieux of Colorado SpringsThe Record:
DJ Natural Nate mixes 86 different tracks together by hand, all maintaining 132-135 BPM.2. Largest Group Piggy-Back Hug The RecordSetter:

Chamberlain's Treason
By Robery Dell
March 12, 1938
Vol. 146, No. 11, P. 292-294
Geneva, February 22
The week that began with Hitler's ultimatum to Austria and ended with Anthony Eden's resignation was surely the most important week in the post-war history of Europe. The events of the past five years reached their climax. The successful bluff and blackmail of the fascist powers on the one hand and the incapacity and poltroonery of the Western democratic powers on the other produced a situation in which the British government had to choose between loyal cooperation with France and Russia to save Europe from fascism and adhesion to the fascist bloc. Neville Chamberlain chose the latter alternative. Eden, to his honor, refused to be a party to it. We cannot but regret that he did not make this choice in 1935 when the British government capitulated to Mussolini, but he has wiped out his weaknesses of the last two years by an act of courage which shows that he is made of stouter stuff than some of us had believed. The fact that he has been followed into retirement by Cranborne, the representative of a family that embodies the best tradition of English conservatism, is not negligible. Those of us who have seen Cranborne at Geneva have formed a high opinion of his character, in spite of several deplorable lapses. He has something in common with his uncle, Lord Cecil of Chelwood, whose evolution in the last few years has been so remarkable. The truth is no doubt that Eden and Cranborne have not fully realized until now the real nature of the policy of which they have been the instruments. They are to be congratulated on their escape from the gang of political crooks by whom my unhappy country is at present governed.
If Neville Chamberlain and the "Cliveden group" the title is taken from Lord Astor's country househave their way, it will not be long before Hitler is the master of the European continent. Some time or other the stork will have to be told of the part played in the pro-German intrigue that led to the recent crisis by the family of American millionaire snobs who migrated to England to get themselves made into aristocrats and whose money has enabled them to lay hands on two of the most important London newspapers. The one hope is that the English people will revolt as they did at the time of the Hoare-Laval plan and prevent Neville Chamberlain from putting the power of the British Empire at the disposal of Hitler. It is as yet too early to form any opinion on that point, but there are already certain encouraging signs.
It is to Hitler, not to Mussolini, that Chamberlain and his fascist gang are capitulating. They are not afraid of Mussolini. They know as well as anybody that he is in a precarious situation, that Italy does not really count as a military power and is not a serious menace to England. The conversations that began yesterday are conversations not with Mussolini alone but with Mussolini as the mouthpiece of the fascist bloc. Neville Chamberlain's aim, as he said plainly in the House of Commons yesterday, is an understanding with Germany and Italy into which he hopes to drag France. He proposes to revive the Four-Power Pact, that is, to substitute for the League of Nations a directorate of England and Germany, with France and Italy as far from brilliant seconds.
There is no longer any question of Vansittart's fatuous policy of trying to detach Italy from Germany. Neville Chamberlain knows that there is no hope of breaking the Berlin-Rome axis. He proposes to convert it into a London-Berlin-Rome axis. Not for centuries has England been put in so humiliating a position. As the London News-Chronicle said yesterday, Chamberlain "may now look in the mud for what is left of British prestige." Eden was forced out of office on the very day on which Hitler made a personal attack on him in the most truculent speech he has yet delivered. Chamberlain has condoned Hitler's pacific aggression against Austria, if he did not connive at it in advance, as is not impossible. It came to my knowledge not long ago that a certain diplomatic representative in Berlin had reported to his government that the British ambassador to Berlin, Sir Nevile Henderson, had said to a prominent member of the German government in the presence of several other persons that he did not understand why Germany had not already annexed Austria seeing that, so far as he could gather, the majority of the Austrians were Nazis already. Chamberlain has been disloyal to France, for in defiance of the agreement arrived at in the Anglo-French conversations in November he started the negotiations with Italy without consulting the French government. Indeed, he acted in opposition to it, for as soon as the French government heard of the first meeting between Chamberlain and Grandi on February 18, it informed the British government that, in its opinion, any negotiations with Italy at the moment would be "inopportune and premature."
Eden's departure has at least cleared the air. The policy of the majority of the English Conservative Party is now so plainly revealed in all its naked hideousness that nobody in England or in France or elsewhere can have any excuse for being misled. Eden said in his speech yesterday that a firm attitude on the part of the British government was more necessary than ever at this moment. I do not believe that there is a single intelligent observer of international affairs in any European country that does not agree with him. Even if the attempt to set up an Anglo-German hegemony in Europe succeeds, the time will come when Hitler will attack the British Empire. He says in "Mein Kampf" that at first Germany must not try to become a world power, since that would antagonize England and make impossible an alliance between England and Germany. But he also says that ultimately "Germany will be a world power or nothing at all." Clearly Hitler's idea is to make use of England to get the territory that he needs in Central Europe and then to discard it. Foreign observers see this so clearly and are so convinced that Neville Chamberlain's policy of playing into Hitler's hands cannot ultimately serve British interests that they are incined to attribute that policy merely to a craven fear of Germany.
In my opinion they are mistaken. I have been more and more coming to the conclusion that at the basis of the foreign policy of the British reactionaries during the last five years have been hatred of Soviet Russia and fear of the growing force of organized labor in England and still more in France. There is every reason to believe that they were behind Chautemps and Georges Bonnet when the latter deliberately provoked the defeat of the late Chautemps government for the purpose of separating the Socialists from the Communists and driving the latter out of the Popular Front. There is also every reason to believe that the attacks on the franc, for the instability of which there was no technical reason, were engineered in the City of London with the connivance of French financial interests and even of certain members of the late Chautemps Cabinet. The terrible irony of the situation is that Leon Blum and his colleagues in the first Popular Front government allowed themselves to be made the tools of a foreign policy fundamentally opposed to the interests of France and initiated by their worst enemies. The pro-German gang in England represented by Neville Chamberlain are not mere craven imbeciles. They are much more like traitors, putting the interests of their class before those of their country.
On February 12, after five years of rearmament, Hitler began to apply his program of territorial aggrandizement in Europe. The methods by which he forced the unhappy Schuschnigg to yield to his demands constituted as flagrant an act of aggression as an armed invasion. The best account of what happened was given by G. E. R. Gedye in the London Daily Telegraph and Morning Post,* of which he is the Vienna correspondent. Before Schuschnigg left Vienna for Berchtesgaden on February 11 he was given to understand that the Nazi plan for his overthrow, found on January 26 in the safe of Captain Leopold's headquarters in Vienna, would be put into force if he declined Hitler's invitation. According to this plan, which was signed R. H. (Rudolf Hess), the Austrian and German Nazis in collaboration were to promote frontier incidents and at the same time the Austrian Nazis were to start terrorist activities in the interior. As soon as the Austrian police took action the German army was to cross the frontier to prevent "Germans from shedding the blood of Germans." For this purpose German troops were to be massed on the frontier under the pretext of maneuvers and were to be under the command of General von Reichenau, corps commandant at Munich, who was described in the Hess plan as "Commander of the Army of Intervention in Austria."
When Schuschnigg went to Berchtesgaden, German troops were actually concentrated on the frontier opposite Salzburg. General von Reichenau was the first person introduced by Hitler to Schuschnigg at Berchtesgaden, and he and two other generals, if they did not actually take part in the conversations, were in the antechamber to intimidate Schuschnigg. Hitler gave Schuschnigg an ultimatum which expired on February 16. Failing an affirmative reply from the Austrian government by that date, the German troops were to march into Austria. What could Schuschnigg do but give way, knowing as he did that he could expect no help from anybody, not even from Mussolini? He did not, however, give way on every point, for he appears to have refused to agree to Hitler's demand that Austria should support Germany in whatever action Germany might take against Czechoslovakia. Nevertheless, unless something quite unforeseen happens, the formal annexation of Austria to Germany can be only a question of time.
It appears from Eden's speech yesterday that the attitude of the British government in regard to the coup against Austria was also a cause of his differences with Neville Chamberlain. The French government asked the British government a few days ago to join in making representations in Berlin to the effect that England and France would not again tolerate being faced with a fait accompli, and that they would not tolerate the destruction of Austrian independence or any interference with Czechoslovakia. Nothing has yet been published about the British reply to this proposal, but no doubt it was in the negative. Yet the British government signed the Treaty of St. Germain by which Austrian independence was put under the protection of the League of Nations. Hitler's success in this matter has caused great alarm here in Switzerland, where it is recognized that, if such methods are tolerated, no small country in Europe will be safe. Hitler's truculent speech on February 20 shows that he now believes himself able to do anything with impunity. That any British government should propose to come to an understanding with Nazi Germany after this speech is an enormity.
The worst element in the situation is the terrible position of France. Most people in that country are now beginning to recognize what a blunder the policy of sacrificing everything to British friendship has been. They are beginning to see that France has been betrayed by her false friends, the British reactionaries. That brilliant journalist, Emile Buré, described England and France a few days ago as l'aveugle et le paralytique. Alas! France is now paralyzed because the French, too, have been blind. Except during the eight months in 1934 when Louis Barthou was Foreign Minister, every successive French government in the last five years has blindly followed the orders issued from London. It is exasperating to remember that in 1936 the Blum Cabinet, under British influence, refused the offer of a pact of mutual assistance made to France by the Little Entente. The Blum Cabinet when it came into office had an immense opportunity. Had it revived and extended Barthou's policy, it could have secured the peace of Europe without sacrificing the friendship of England. As it is, the British government has succeeded in estranging France from Russia, and in destroying the Little Entente and the Balkan Entente. Poland, Yugoslavia, Rumania, and Greece have one after the other been drawn into the German orbit, because, as a Balkan diplomatist said to me some time ago, they could have no confidence in people who were incapable of defending even their own interests.
Czechoslovakia is isolated in Central Europe. After Hitler's speech there can be no doubt that he intends to use against Czechoslovakia the methods that he has used so successfully against Austria. The probability is that Czechoslovakia will resist, in which case France and Russia will be bound to go to its aid, and if they do the result will be a European war into which the English people will be drawn whether they like it or not. If, on the other hand, France does not fulfil its treaty obligations, Hitler will be the master of Central Europe and Czechoslovakia will no doubt be partitioned among Germany, Hungary, and Poland. Russia is not bound to go to the aid of Czechoslovakia unless France does. It is a heartrending situation.
* Mr. Gedye's account also appeared in the New York Times of February 17.

Sandy Isenstadt examines how architects, interior designers, and landscape designers worked to enhance spatial perception in middle class houses visually. The desire for spaciousness reached its highest pitch where it was most lacking, in the small, single-family houses that came to be the cornerstone of middle class life in the nineteenth century. In direct conflict with actual dimensions, spaciousness was linked to a tension unique to the middle class - between spatial aspirations and financial limitations. Although rarely addressed in a sustained fashion by theorists and practitioners, and the inhabitants of houses themselves, Isenstadt argues that spaciousness was central to the development of modern American domestic architecture, with explicit strategies for perceiving space being pivotal to modern house design. Through professional endorsement, concern for visual space found its way into discussion of real estate and law.
'The book's themes are always intriguing. With its emphasis on viewers' experience of spaciousness rather than architects creating spaciousness, the book fits into recent vernacular architecture studies that examine inhabitation as a primary influence on buildings.' Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians 'Isenstadt's book shines as a model of interdisciplinary writing ... His scholarly thoroughness and rhetorical openness make his work a pleasure to read and contemplate.' The American Historical Review

Whether your teen was born with missing teeth or has lost teeth due to an injury, you may be wondering what your options are to replace his or her pearly whites. Here, a prosthodontist offers expert advice on dental implants for children.
If you have a teenager who has a missing tooth or has teeth with poor aesthetics, it would be worth your while to have a consultation with a prosthodontist. Teeth can be missing due to a sports injury or other traumatic injuries. Teeth can also be missing congenitally (from birth). Common missing teeth are the upper laterals (the smaller teeth adjacent to the two front teeth). Your child's self-esteem is very important, not to mention the importance of the function of their teeth, especially as they move toward adulthood and have many years ahead of them. Whereas years ago there was no option and a removable appliance was often worn—or healthy teeth had to be cut down to support a missing tooth—today implants are the most desirable way to replace missing teeth.
What's the first step? It's recommended that a specialist be seen. Thorough and sophisticated measures are taken to ensure the longevity and aesthetics of the implant. The prosthodontist is a highly trained specialist with an advanced degree whose skills are especially suited to such matters. A thorough evaluation is done to see if your child is a candidate for implants. Depending on the jaw growth, the specialist will determine if your child is ready for implants. A thorough evaluation is done to examine the bite (occlusion) and determine the projected aesthetics. There are multiple steps involved to achieve the best results.
A team approach, with a prosthodontist at the helm choreographing the planning stages and treatment, is the path we recommend. Having one person coordinating the treatment makes it easier for the patient and parents involved. The oral surgeon or periodontist places the implants as guided by the prosthodontist. An oral surgeon or periodontist should not be the first to determine the needs of the patient as they are not involved in the aesthetics (cosmetics) or bite (occlusion) afterwards. All the practitioners, however, work as a team, so your teenager can best benefit from the results and follow-up care.
In short, an initial consultation is important to help provide you with the best alternatives and choices and to determine if your teenager is a candidate for little to no out-of-pocket expenses for the entire treatment based on available insurance and treatment direction.
—Dr. Ronald P. Knoll, D.M.D, M.S. is a prosthodonist on Long Island with offices in Plainview and Lynbrook; he practices with his wife, Dr. Carole Horowitz, a family and cosmetic dentist. Dr. Knoll graduated from Boston University School of Dental Medicine and was awarded an M.S. degree in Prosthodontics from the University of Michigan. He served as an assistant clinical professor at N.Y.U Dental School and helped to originate the department of dentistry at the Gurwin Geriatric Center on LI.

Celebrating Cape Town's street food
'Not what we have, but what we enjoy,' reads the back cover of Marlene van der Westhuizen's new book, Abundance: City Food from the Cape.
This quote, by poet/writer Jean Antoine Petit-Senn, is apt for this beautiful book, which speaks volumes about the way Van der Westhuizen experiences life and the food on her city streets.
Backing her beautiful words, explanations and recipes are images by photographer Johan Wilke.
It's the kind of book you want to savour slowly as you page through, remembering the delicious tastes, sights and smells of the gorgeous Mother City.
Through the pages of the book, she invites us (the reader) to '... walk along the promenade in Sea Point and explore the narrow streets of De Waterkant and Bo-Kaap. We'll have tapas in Long Street or we'll wander through Woodstock and have a bowl of spaghetti in Observatory. We'll visit the market for a glass of champagne and a plateful of freshly shucked West Coast oysters ...'
Van der Westhuizen also invites the reader to sit down at her family table as she shares some favourite recipes, including leeks with walnut truffle oil, braised lamb shanks with roasted shallots, and rustic mushroom soup.
It's the kind of book you want to savour slowly as you page through, remembering the delicious tastes, sights and smells of the gorgeous Mother City.
The desserts and sweet things are pure eye candy, while the carrot cake with creamy icing and berry trifle are pure soul food.
But don't take my word for it ... go out and buy the book and spread the love.
Abundance: City Food from the Cape is published by Pan MacMillan and is available at all good book stores.

The star of drama thriller 'Disturbia' has reportedly stated in an interview that the 'Transformers' sequel will start its production in Summer.
It seems that the earlier rumor stating that the filming of the action sequel "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" will be started sometime in mid-summer contains truth as the film's star Shia LaBeouf let out about the Paramount Pictures' movie production. According to MTV Movies Blog, the 21-year-old actor revealed the filming will begin in the Summer.
In an interview with the music network, the star of thriller film "Disturbia" confessed that the production is going to be started in June. "We're gearing up for 'Transformers' in June," announced LaBeouf. Talking further about the forthcoming film, the co-star of Harrison Ford in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" also commented about the film's new robots stating, "It's got to be more badass. It has to be."
"Transformers 2" is the sequel to the blockbuster hit action film "Transformers" which featured LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Tyrese Gibson and Josh Duhamel as the human leading characters. The film will be once again directed by Michael Bay. Prior to this report, there were reports claiming that the sequel film will be having a much bigger robot in the form of Constructicons.
Meanwhile, on the LaBeouf related news, MTV also noted that the young actor confessed of getting injured for several times on the set of his highly anticipated film "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". "I pulled a rotator cuff in my hip," the former Disney star said. "It's the only time in my career I've ever been injured. What happened was, because the injury got worse and worse as the movie went on, I pulled my groin also. [The groin] is not a good thing to have anything happen to."

Except this time, there's no longer any risk to the publisher, because the publisher isn't fronting any of their own money. If the developer's just gonna start a Kickstarter project to get funded, then why the fuck do they need the publisher? The whole fucking reason to approach a publisher is to get funded.
Chris Avellone has another interesting anecdote in today's interview:
Franchises weve worked with have specifically stepped in to ask us to limit portions of content that we felt was mature and treated maturely, for no reason other than fear. Because you cant trust players to appreciate subtlety or mature themes, apparently. Its bad for business.
I agree, I like KS (to a degree) because it largely eliminates the need for publishers. But if you want to sell any retail copies, you still need a distributor. And, as you mentioned, publishers are good at finding PR firms.
And some people do well with their own PR (and by "their own PR" I generally mean "They hire someone in-house"), but that isn't always true.
Wardell (the Molestor!)
Blizzard in recent months
Relic before they started getting real PR people
Gearbox... Sweet baby Jesus, Gearbox hates women...
The Zomboid devs
I don't know WHAT "The French Monk"s real job title was at CD Projekt/GoG, but there is a reason they placed an ad for a real PR person shortly after "closing" :p
Of course, that is not to say the designated public face is always one you want to show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAY27NU1Jog
And if the Publisher has an idea (they DO have idea people) but they aren't certain how well it will sell ( a risky game that usually only the REALLY big guys, like EA, can absorb the loss on), KS is perfect. Partially fund with KS, partially fund by themselves. But they still need to get a dev team to start with.Steam: Gundato

Ah, I see. Seems unlikely. I'm still not sure what a publisher brings to the Kickstarter table, where most of the copies being sold will be distributed digitally and in the $10 to $30 range, except maybe cheaper boxed copies for backers who want them.
With the obvious exception of entities that both develop and publish, publishers, as far as I'm aware, don't generally have ideas. They have properties. I suppose that if a valuable IP (owned/licensed) by party A were involved, sure, maybe. However, I think most people in the games industry will probably agree that there's no shortage of ideas.
In your scenario, a publisher that held an AD&D license could be party A and Obsidian party B, except that fantasy RPGs are so ubiquitous these days that party A doesn't really have anything Obsidian needs. Obsidian's name is the thing of value here. A publisher typically bears the brunt of the risk, and is thus traditionally indispensable for a lot of devs. However, there's no real risk with Kickstarter. A dev has the same access to the same pool of money that a publisher would. That's a lot of money (and control, and sustainability) to flush down a toilet just for an IP/idea.
I also suspect that given the relative transparency that's expected of Kickstarter project creators, this kind of arrangement would either require a precarious lie or an unpalatable truth. I'm guessing the last thing the Kickstarter community wants is to be used as a source of no-risk investment capital for publishers, especially when many publishers have been extraordinarily poor stewards of the IPs and game mechanics that have required a whole new paradigm to revive.
And who says Kickstarters have to all be about budget digital only games? Pretty sure the one discussed in this very thread isn't a "budget title".
And you picked a bad example. If we are going to pretend that publishers have no ideas (something I strongly disagree with), let's pick a better IP. Let's say we figure out who owns the rights to the TV Show Reboot. And the Publisher is interested in making a(nother) video game based on it. Maybe the premise (a "real (computer) world" with periodic trips into "Game worlds") isn't something radically new, but the IP definitely holds a lot of value to anyone who watched TV in the 90s. But the Publisher is concerned that nostalgia alone might not be enough (let's say they want to make it very stylish or something) and don't want to go "all in" as it were.
So they do what a few KS projects have done*. They combine KS with an alternate source of funding. So if the game gets funded to X dollars, they'll chip in an additional X (possibly more). Not only does that greatly lessen their burden (so if the game flops, their shareholders won't go crazy), it also lets them see how well the game would sell. If the KS barely passes, they probably will just make it and be done. If they raise 4X (hee hee), you can be damned certain that game is getting the AAA treatment. The Publisher is still taking a risk, but not as large of a risk. And it potentially puts the devs in a good position as far as negotiating their contracts.
*: The only name I recall off the top of my head is the PA Kickstarter where they used funds to compensate for their ad revenue while still keeping the rest. But I do recall a few others where the goal was basically "Make a prototype so that our real financial backers will give us a chance". Either way the KS backers get the prototype (and probably the real title, I forget), but the point is that the KS-backed part is just a portion of the whole funding.Steam: Gundato

At some point, I don't know when, Affleck went from being a douche bag to being a pretty damn good director. I don't know how it happened, but it made me wet my pants a little. Yes, in the scenario you're suggesting here, a developer's name is tremendously valuable. But in general, no they aren't, judging by how Activision and EA do business. I'll take from that that a dev's reputation is important when a publisher is trying to court its community, but not worth much when the community is built around a franchise owned by the publisher.
Project Eternity still falls in the $10 - $30 range I mentioned. I'm not sure what it's going cost at release. It's still budget by AAA standards.
I'm full of bad examples, but I don't know that Reboot is any better. I used AD&D because, well, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape. Clearly there's plenty of value in those names, but the devs behind those games no longer work off of licensed WotC properties, probably because doing so is a restrictive, problematic hassle with little payoff. I don't see why there would be any difference in perspective for an indie dev turning to Kickstarter.
Back to your example, show me a publisher with any interest in anything remotely analogous to Reboot, and I'll give Affleck an HJ. The dollar signs they've got in their eyes are, presumably, not over making use of Kickstarter to take and mitigate risks on nearly forgotten, niche properties that need to be acquired, but to make use of properties they already own by propping up well loved devs at the helm.
I recall three or four projects that were raising money for an investment prototype, but they were still developers, not publishers. I don't see a publisher-started project ending well at all, which is probably why Obsidian was propositioned to astroturf. If EA or whoever wants to reboot a property using Kickstarter, I'm sure they'd have no trouble assigning a dev to it. We'd exhaust the world's supply of popcorn, but the entertainment value would be immense.
As for developer names being powerful: Bioware, Maxis, Infinity Ward, ... Hell, everyone EA bought over the years :p. And as much as they cock-up almost everything, Obsidian are definitely a big name (if only because their cock-ups are disappointing, but worth playing).
And I am not referring to "AAA games" as the standard. The very point of that term is that those are the games that have budgets WAY higher than anything ever should be.
And considering all the remakes/reboots lately (the FPS x-com game that apparently wasn't complete garbage, then disappeared off the face of the earth after a REAL XCOM was announced. Blood. Probably some more I already blocked out of my mind), a major publisher (Or even a minor publisher) wanting to cash in on an IP they own is not something radical. And Publishers aren't stupid: They understand that there is potentially a pretty big market for a faithful remake. It is just that said market may not be big enough to justify the risk.
And Publishers DO make risky moves. Remember when The Sims sounded like the stupidest idea in the world? Well 12 years before that EA actually made it :P. Why? Sure Will Wright's name is powerful, but you still need a pretty solid base to take a risk on something like that. EA, at the time, could absorb the potential losses. They did the same thing with Spore a few years later (and didn't do anywhere near as well...). Why? Because someone convinced them (in this case, one of the gods of game design) that it was a good idea, but from a financial perspective it was probably a stupid move. Look at the economy: Taking ANY risk is stupid these days (if you are a huge publisher, or even a moderately sized developer).
So really, I see no meaningful difference between
"We are Publisher X and we want to bring you the continued adventures of Frisket and Enzo (big or little, I'm cool with either). But we aren't sure if that is what you want, so what say we make a deal? You express your interest in terms of dollar signs by buying the game now, and we'll match that in Euros (because we are Publishers and don't realize Euros aren't Dollars)! As an added bonus, we got Developer B to agree to do the development if we give them the moneys. And if you didn't like Reboot, your mom is a dirty whore and I hope you die of AIDS"
"Hi, I am famous dude Y. Me and my development studio want to make a game about the continuing romance between AndrAIa and Matrix. But we need money for it, so get going"
In both cases, it is an established entity in the industry raising money to make a game they want to make, but that they might otherwise not be able to get funding for. Because for a big publisher to really pump cash into something means they are probably gonna make a safe genre like racing or manshoots.
And in the first case, it will probably lead to Steam and the like having non-stupid pricing :pSteam: Gundato

I also think Alpha Protocol would have had more mature moments if they had their way.
I don't want to seem like I believe I can read EA, et al.'s mind, but it's a lot less interesting to me to toss money into a pot to finance what is likely to be, for an entity like that, purely a financial endeavor. The EAs of the world haven't really demonstrated an interest in publishing the kinds of games that Kickstarter is, beginning with titles like FTL, on the cusp of churning out, certainly not (even in part) for the sake of making something that a small community of gamers wants to play.
Obsidian started taking pledges before anyone knew much of anything about Project Eternity. We've all got a pretty good sense of what they're capable of, where their interest lies, and what we're going to get if we hand them several million dollars. Would the community be willing to give EA the same blank check? Let's pretend Syndicate 2012 never happened. Suppose that EA found a suitable dev and brought a Syndicate reboot to Kickstarter. Would we end up with something its fan base wanted, or would we end up with something closer to the Syndicate we got? I shudder to think, honestly. I'm guessing EA would have to significantly retool to even comprehend what the "alt" segment of the gaming community wants.
Aside from that, I can't imagine that the risk we're talking about for these sorts of games is the limiting factor for an EA or Activision. There's probably a fair number of devs on Kickstarter who don't know what it takes to make a profit, even if some might make one in spite of themselves, but a lot of them clearly have the experience and wherewithal to know. However, are non-mega hit profits like this even on EA's radar? After hearing about the 90-day, no-commission deal Origin offered successful Kickstarter projects, I got the sense that EA sees this potent mix of money and goodwill flying around in the funding scene and doesn't want to be left behind in the event there's a massive hit. I see them stroking a fuzzy little chick, pondering how big and juicy it could get before they slit its neck and rotisserie the ever living shit out of it, but I don't see them chasing little chicks all over the yard, doing the poultry farmer's job of bringing each chick to fruition.
I'm not sure if EA learned anything from Syndicate, which they've said was something "we took a risk on. It didn't pay off - it didn't work." At the time Syndicate had sold somewhere around 150,000 copies, roughly $9 mil in sales, perhaps closer to a bust than not. Given the opportunity to do things differently, would they set a dev to work on a sequel more in line with the previous two games, or would they try to turn a dusty IP into a modern hit again? I can't answer that, but my guess is that EA would rather sit on a property until it sees a chance to turn it into a mountain of gold than take a foothill of silver for a more classic, indie-style release.
I'm using EA here as an example because they're sitting on such a huge cache of great legacy IPs. If nothing else, I think Syndicate demonstrated that they don't have the instincts to know what to do with them. When I pledge to a project on Kickstarter, I'm betting that a dev's love for and dedication to their own concept will go a long way toward producing something I want to play. I don't really know what EA-sized publishers are passionate about. However, I don't think it's games as gamers play them, but IPs as masses consume them. Syndicate's relative failure was addressed as a failure to sell, but never as a failure to live up to what the franchise's fans wanted to play. I'm not sure publishers like this are prepared to look members of a community in the eye and have a frank discussion about the merits of their properties, ideas and actions. Kickstarter just seems a terrible fit for how they prefer to do business.
Linux support has been officially confirmed, and the $2.2m goal replaced with more content. Project Eternity will use the... Unity engine.
I would imagine EA et al's plan will be to find a relatively popular developer to front a project that they intend to publish so as to have gamers take some of the risk and then a while after the KS is over the dev "decides" that they're best off being bought out by EA et al which was the plan all along. EA wont announce their involvement in the project until after the KS has closed and the money has been taken. Those who have pledged to the KS have absolutely no recourse because the money given is essentially a donation and it is a win win for EA et al: If the game sells in spite of selling out/being a deception then EA gets an even bigger profit, if the game doesn't sell and people are really angry it means people wont trust KS as much and EA et al get to weaken a potential rival to their publishing model.
In such case the developer will take a reputation hit, because he makes players angry by signing a pact with EA. And Kickstarter is adding a "Risks&Challenges" section as well as a place to comment on a project before backing it. So it will be easier to warn people about scams.pass
Oh indeed, EA et al would have to have to give a lot of compensation aka a big bribe, to any developer they wanted to do this because they would be a lightning rod for negativity from that point on. To be clear I mean like a big name individual developer, usually how these deals go is that only the person at the top of an organisation gets the payoff and all the other employees get to go hang.
EA et al wont care about the Dev's reputation hit of course so the only factor is finding a developer with some popularity who is willing to sell out completely which given how human beings in general are seems pretty likely.
I don't think this is certain to happen or if it does it'll be the end of kickstarter or anything but I do think it is pretty likely to be what the big publishers will be trying to do.
And who says the devs wouldn't be dedicated? I know that if I had a dev team and I got approached to do a Reboot game, I would need to buy a new pair of pants almost instantly. And even if not: Do you honestly think most of the staff at Obsidian give a rats ass about Project Eternity beyond "We get to make something interesting and make some moneys"? It isn't THEIR baby. It is their boss's baby.Steam: Gundato

No, you have it backwards. EA won't "bribe a developer to make a kickstarter". Too much risk, too much effort. Better to message a kickstarter that turned out to be successful and try to sway them, luring with a promise of a bigger budget.
EA doesn't care about the developer's reputation, but the developer should and potential backers definitely will. A developer that sings a pact with EA after a successful pact will burn (kickstarter) bridges behind it.pass
As to dedication, I've no doubt that Obsidian (+Troika) was wholly dedicated to all the brilliant-ish games they were rushed to release in partially unfinished states. I've read some of their ruminations on these shortcomings, and they accept a lot of the blame. Still, publishers were a factor. With all that history, would you really want the same old paradigm in your Kickstarter cereal flakes? One of the selling points for me is, essentially, "Look Ma, no publisher." Of the 16 or so projects I've backed, I expect some to be delivered late. That's immeasurably preferable to me than a rush job.
I also don't trust big publishers with money up front for something not clearly defined, and even then, not really. (See this -- yeah, I just referred to myself as a source, deal wid it.) An independent developer might be willing deliver a sound finished product for a slim profit margin simply as an investment in its own reputation and future. Throw a publisher into that mix and I think it's more likely the dev would be sacrificed for the sake of extracting as much as possible out of the project.
For a lot of devs using Kickstarter, it's probably make or break, and their incentive to survive and/or flourish is my added security. I doubt it would be the same for a sizable publisher, many of whom routinely slash and burn projects they don't expect to live up to their financial standards. While I wouldn't expect a full-on torpedoed project, I wouldn't be surprised to get a game with a great first half and a latter half sculpted out of poo. This is all fine and well for their interests, but I'm not touching that with a one-dollar bill, especially given their apparent aversion to candor. If someone's going to take a dump in my lap, I at least want them to look me in the eyes afterward. Number 10 in this video sort of sums it up for me.
Edit: this the second time RPS has saved one of my long, pointless posts from a power-outage loss. +1 for the universe today.

Oy. I am not going to argue against the "All publishers are evil stupid poopy heads who are the only reasons any games ever fail". You seem to refuse to let go of that, and that really has nothing to do with this.
Pick your FAVORITE publisher. Hell, pick your favorite "visionary developer with a crapton of cash" if it makes you feel better.
Imagine if they approached another development team and said something along the lines of "Hey, I got this great idea but I would rather not fund the entire thing out of pocket for some reason or another. So I am going to crowd-source it. But I don't have the resources to make it all myself, you want in on this?"
THAT is what I am talking about. It doesn't matter who the first party is. And many of the already accepted KSes ARE basically that.Steam: Gundato

Even as you restated it once again, I still think it's a terrible idea. I don't see the utility you seem to, and I don't see how it would be of benefit to anyone to enter into an agreement with either a) a party that is not in full control of the business side of the project or b) a party that is not ultimately in control of the product itself.
And you keep stretching your hypothetical. A rich developer with a great idea crowd-sourcing funds for a project it doesn't have the resources to complete so it hires another developer? What? Yeah, developers using Kickstarter have been known to hire people with the funds they've raised (and I've seen at least one collaboration), but we're getting a long way from what you initially suggested.

It is a saga that began with a sexy, young, blonde cycling down a Brooklyn street and drawing the stare of an unwitting admirer. It could end with the freeing of a young man jailed for murder.
The story of Doreen Giuliano seems straight out of a Hollywood movie, in which a distraught mother goes on an astonishing undercover mission to prove her son was wrongfully convicted of a horrific killing.
Desperately believing her son was innocent, Giuliano, a married mother from New York, reinvented herself as "Dee", a sexy, single Californian. She lost weight, dyed her hair and created a new identity as a much younger woman. She then targeted one of the jurors who had jailed her child, befriended him over several months and eventually discovered the evidence that could win her son, John Giuca, a new day in court.
"Dee" collected evidence on a hidden tape recorder which seemed to show that one juror, Jason Allo, had lied to the court by denying that he knew Giuca. He even boasted to her of how he tried to push other jurors into a conviction. That evidence will now be the subject of a court hearing on 26 February. It could eventually pave the way for a retrial.
"It is possible that this mother's actions could eventually result in a new trial for her son," said lawyer John Browning, a legal columnist who has written about the case.
If that does happen, New York will have to re-examine one of the city's most high-profile murder cases of recent times. It began in 2003, with the discovery on a Brooklyn street of the body of promising college student, Mark Fisher, 19, who had been shot dead after attending a party held by Giuca.
The case was known as the "grid kid" slaying because Fisher was a talented football player, a sport also known as "gridiron". The killing became a tabloid sensation and Giuca a prime suspect. Fisher's body was found in a yellow blanket that Giuca had given him. Police soon focused their attentions on Giuca and another young man, Antonio Russo.
It was alleged that Giuca had gone off the rails and led a street gang called the "Ghetto Mafia". Police believed Fisher was killed to enhance the gang's tough reputation. Giuca was portrayed as the "boss", sending his underling Russo to "get a body" for the organisation. That line was followed up by the press, which covered the murder in salacious detail. Russo, and later Giuca, were arrested, tried in separate cases and convicted of murder. They both were jailed for 25 years to life.
But Giuliano never accepted the verdict. She believed that the convictions had been forced through by an overzealous prosecution, ignoring flaws in the evidence and contradictory witness statements. Some experts agreed. There was certainly immense public pressure on the prosecution to get a quick conviction, as popular outrage at the crime played out in New York's newspapers.
"This was a high-profile case. A young man was killed. There was a real incentive to get a conviction against these two kids," said Bennett Gershman, a former prosecutor now at New York's Pace University, who has followed the case.
When the convictions came, Giuliano felt a sense of deep outrage and injustice. She watched her son lose weight in jail and become a terrified version of his former self. So, in 2006, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She and her second husband, Frank, hatched a plan. Giuliano began to spy on the jurors, hoping to gather evidence that they had engaged in misconduct. She dubbed her scheme The Sting. She spied on several jurors and eventually settled on Allo, staking out his apartment and following him.
By late 2007, she decided to up the ante. Giuliano, who had once put on make-up as a professional clown, would once more adopt a disguise. The fortysomething housewife would reinvent herself as a scantily clad singleton more than a decade younger and called "Dee". She worked out to lose weight, died her hair blonde, went to a tanning salon and rented an apartment. She wore only figure-hugging and revealing clothes. Then, riding by Allo on a bike, she stopped and introduced herself as a Californian who was new to the area. She asked for tips on cool bars in the neighbourhood. Allo offered to get her some marijuana. "Dee" agreed. Their friendship had begun.
Over the next six months, the two became close, drinking and smoking drugs, hanging out at each other's apartments and spending nights out in Manhattan. The relationship never became sexual but, Giuliano confessed to a reporter from Vanity Fair, only because Allo insisted on remaining just friends. Allo never suspected that his new pal was the mother of the man he had helped convict. She secretly recorded their conversations, probing Allo to talk about his time as a juror.
Eventually, she struck gold. Allo confessed to her that he had known Giuca and Russo before the case: something he explicitly denied when selected as a juror. Allo had lied to the court. He also boasted that he had known what he was doing was wrong. For Giuliano's legal advisers that was the dynamite evidence they had been waiting for. They began to prepare legal papers to get the case reopened. Now, Allo himself has a lawyer.
Not surprisingly, Giuliano's actions have attracted sensational media attention. Her story has been favourably recounted in the same tabloids that once triumphantly damned her son. Vanity Fair chronicled her tale under the headline "Mother Justice".
But victory is still far from assured. Even if the evidence she has collected is deemed enough to trigger a reopening of the case, it is far from certain that Giuca will walk free. After all, her actions have only undermined the credibility of one juror. There is still the prosecution case to contend with, with all its evidence and witness statements.
"I don't see anything yet that shows conclusively they [Giuca and Russo] did not do it. I am not sure this is enough," said Gershman.
For the moment, any ray of hope is likely to be justification for the amazing efforts Giuliano took to try to free her son. The fact that her battle is still far from over will not detract from her achievement in carrying out the fight herself.
The story itself has left legal experts agog. "It would make a great movie. I wish I had the rights to it. I would make more money than I ever have as a lawyer," said Browning.

Mock fatal accident brings clear warning to students at Mt. Pleasant
"On the night of June 25, 2010, my son walked out the door and never came back."
Molly Cobb of Delmont shared those sobering words with students from Mt. Pleasant Area High School on Monday.
Her son Jordan, 19, was killed in a crash involving a drunken driver. Jordan Cobb was a passenger in a vehicle driven by the drunken driver.
Molly Cobb detailed her son's last day with her. She described his bear hugs, quick wit and wonderful sense of humor — all of which she will never forget.
Jordan Cobb left on June 25, 2010, to attend a graduation party. There was underage drinking at the party.
"My sweet, sweet boy was never coming back," she said.
Cobb told the students that they can choose to not drink. She discussed how she and her family and other families of deceased teenagers killed in fatal crashes suffer.
"Dead is final," Cobb said. "You can't come back from dead."
Cobb was one of several presenters during a program to remind students not to drink and drive.
The program included a realistic, mock fatal crash in the high school parking lot.
With high school proms right around the corner, concern about the dangers of drinking and driving run high.
So Mt. Pleasant Junior/Senior High School Principal Ken Williams decided to take the facts to the students.
Williams arranged for the mock car crash to be staged in the school parking area. High school juniors and seniors witnessed firsthand the devastation that can be caused while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs — or both.
"I felt it was time to do this again," Williams said. A similar event was held in 1987 at the high school.
Several first responder units participated. They included Norvelt, Kecksburg, Hecla and Mt. Pleasant volunteer fire departments, Norvelt EMS, Kecksburg EMS, Medic 10 and Frick Excela Medic 930.
A medical helicopter from Allegheny General Hospital took part in the demonstration.
Speaking to the students at the crash site was Paul Cycak Jr., Westmoreland County chief deputy coroner.
"Can you afford to lose your driver's license or can you afford to lose a friend?" Cycak said. "It's your responsibility to make sure that you don't drink and drive on prom night or any other night, then get behind the wheel of a car."
The students watched the crash and how the bodies were treated, taken care of and processed.
Other featured speakers were Mt. Pleasant student Lauren Caletri from Westmoreland Community Action who showed a short film and read statistics on the dangers of drinking.
"You kids think that it will never happen to you, that you are smarter than that and that it will only happen to someone else," Cobb said. "All of you are potentially someone else."
Cards were passed out for the students to take a "do not drink" pledge.
Mt. Pleasant Area High School will hold its prom on Friday.

Table not created when installing and enabling the module from the GUI.
PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'vih_drupal.masquerade' doesn't exist: SELECT uid_from FROM {masquerade} WHERE sid = :sid AND uid_as = :uid_as; Array ( [:sid] => E2O_hDaNk0X8G7kvAIMa0jcaHWmv159__3kwou4G6Rc [:uid_as] => 3 ) i masquerade_init() (linje 52 af /sites/all/modules/masquerade/masquerade.module).
Comment #1andypost CreditAttribution: andypost commented
Strange... please try a clean install. Probably this caused by some module.
I can't reproduce this bug
Comment #2Kristen Pol CreditAttribution: Kristen Pol commented
I also had this same problem.
Drupal 7.9
masquerade 7.x-1.0-rc4
I have a lot of other modules installed but I'm doubtful it is a conflict. The site was just set up today.
I was unable to disable the module via drush so I updated it directly in the database but Drupal was still unhappy until I moved the masquerade module directory out of the modules directory so it couldn't find it anymore.
[update] I disabled my featured content module and then re-enabled masquerade. It gave me a "segmentation fault" but the table was created. I'll check the FC module to see what may be interfering. Very weird.
[another update] I can't get it to not create the table anymore. I've tried enabling/disabling the FC module and masquerade (with uninstalling so the tables get removed) and I can't reproduce. Perhaps it is just some weird glitch that will be hard to pin down. Note that I did also see similar behavior on a D6 site with masquerade where the table wasn't created but I haven't looked into it further.
Comment #3Kristen Pol CreditAttribution: Kristen Pol commented
I don't know if this is related but:
shows that if you have
'default' => '',
for text in the schema then the install can not work. I see these in the masquerade schema but for varchar and not text so I don't know if it matters or not.
What is weird is that there were no errors reported in Drupal after the table wasn't created. It only complained when something was trying to access the non-existent table.

Template Management
Mar 15 2010 06:00 PM | spacedvest in Templates
In IP.Content 2.0, you will notice that there are 3 separate template sections of the ACP:
- Page Templates
- Database Templates
- Article Templates
In IP.Content 1.x, database and page templates were combined into a single "Templates" section, which worked fine for our original intentions. However, with the introduction of a separate Articles module, and additional template types related to the articles module, we decided to separate the templates so that each template type is displayed separately. This should help finding and editing your templates easier in practice, as you will be able to filter the template types and work with fewer at a time.
Within each templates section, you can create containers to group your templates into logical groupings. For instance, you may wish to create a grouping for each database you create, and then place the database templates appropriately into the container representing the database itself. Or you may wish to create multiple front page templates, and group them all together in the article templates area. You can use containers for whatever purposes you may have, or not at all: it's up to you!
Templates can be reordered by dragging and dropping the rows up and down, and they can be moved from one container to another via drag n drop as well.
Certain meta data about the templates are stored when you create new database or article templates, allowing IP.Content to tailor other areas of the ACP to help you out. For example, in IP.Content 1.x the software did not "remember" what kind of database template you were creating, so all database templates were presented in each of the dropdowns when creating or editing a database. Beginning with IP.Content 2.x, the software stores the template type when you create a new template. This allows us to show only "category listing" templates in the "category listing template" selection dropdowns. Similarly, the template tag help popup can automatically know which template type you are editing without you having to specify.
Properly making use of templates can help you push out pages on your site in a uniform manner quickly and easily, and without having to "reinvent the wheel" each time a new page is ready to be published.

Template Variables Help
Mar 16 2010 07:00 PM | spacedvest in Templates
All templates are capable of using template tags, and as such when you edit any type of template, there will be a "template tag help" link. Clicking this produces a sidebar (there is then a link in the sidebar to open a separate popup) that details all of the template tags you can insert to include IP.Content data within your template.
However, with database and article templates, there are additional variables that are passed into the template to allow it to manipulate and display the HTML that represents the content. For instance, different data is retrieved and available when you are looking at a list of articles compared to when you are viewing a single article. You need to know what these variables are in order to be able to properly modify the template to display data in the manner you want, and as such, a template variable help popup is available that will detail the variables available for each template type.
When you are editing a template, click on "template variable help" and a new window opens displaying the variables you can expect to be available to the template with a short description of each variable. If you get stuck, this help window can help shed some light on the variables that are available, what values they should contain, and how you can use these variables to your advantage to build a more dynamic and useful interface for your database.

MIAMI - The other guys evened the series.
For much of Sunday's pivotal Game 2 of the NBA Finals, LeBron James was in a postseason trance unlike anything he has experienced since the 2011 Finals. He finally snapped out of it, but by that time it didn't really matter. Mario Chalmers, Mike Miller and Ray Allen had already put the game away.
In perhaps the biggest game of his professional career, Chalmers led all scorers with 19 points in the Heat's 103-84 victory over the San Antonio Spurs at AmericanAirlines Arena.
Tied 1-1, the best-of-seven series now shifts to Texas for three consecutive games before returning to Miami for Game 6 and Game 7, if necessary.
The way this series is going, the maximum number of games for the series seems inevitable.
With the Heat's offense in disarray in the third quarter, Chalmers stepped in for a struggling James as the catalyst. It was a bold move but not out of character for the starting point guard, who is known for his cocksure attitude.
Chalmers' three-point play gave Miami a 64-62 lead with 3:11 left in the third quarter. It sparked a rally that didn't really end until the final buzzer. After Chalmers stepped in, the Heat outscored the Spurs 42-22.
"You can't teach that quality, the big-game guts," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We have a lot of guys like that on this team. They feel the most alive when you should be feeling pressure."
All the talk entering Game 2 revolved around James' teammates doing more to help out their leader. Those players apparently were paying attention. James finished with 17 points, a postseason low, but enjoyed watching the blowout from the bench in the final minutes all the same. He also had eight rebounds and seven assists.
The Heat was 10 of 19 from three-point range with Miller, Allen and Chalmers combining to go 8 of 12 from distance. Miller went 3 of 3 from three-point range for nine points, and Allen was 5 of 8 overall for 13 points.
"That's why they're the defending champs," Spurs guard Tony Parker said. "They have great role players."
Miller's third three-pointer gave the Heat a 15-point lead with 10:31 to play, and Chalmers and James followed with baskets to complete a 14-0 run spanning the third and fourth quarters. It gave the Heat an 84-65 lead with 9:11 to play.
Meanwhile, the Spurs were struggling through their own problems. Tim Duncan finished the game 3 of 13 from the field, and the Big 3 of Duncan, Parker and Manu Ginobili combined to score 23 points.
Up next
• Who: Heat at Spurs. Series tied 1-1
• When: 6 p.m. Tuesday • TV: Channel 9

Ottawa has turned down the proposed New Prosperity mine in the B.C. Interior, marking the second time the federal government has rejected the project and rebuffing a last-ditch lobbying effort from B.C. to see it go ahead.
In a statement Wednesday, federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq said she had concluded the mine is likely to cause "significant adverse environmental effects that cannot be mitigated" and that the government had determined those effects "are not justified in the circumstances," thereby ruling out the project.
That could spell the death knell for the billion-dollar project, which Vancouver-based Taseko Mines has pursued for more than a decade and that the company redesigned after Ottawa turned down an earlier proposal on environmental grounds.
B.C.'s mines minister, Bill Bennett, called the decision disappointing but understandable.
"We are extremely disappointed," he said Wednesday. "This is a wonderful opportunity for the region, for the province, with literally hundreds of jobs at stake."
However, he said he accepts that the federal cabinet had little choice.
"I really do understand why federal politicians would feel obligated to follow the advice of their panel."
He said he still disagrees with the federal panel's conclusion that the mine posed a significant risk to the environment.
"Unfortunately, it has come down to the company having to challenge the recommendation of this federal panel."
Opponents heralded the decision.
"Awesome news, been long 24-year battle we won," Xeni Gwet'in Chief Roger William said in a posting on Facebook.
The Xeni Gwet'in are part of the Tsilhqot'in Nation, which has fought the project for years.
Much of the debate around the mine focused on the fate of Fish Lake, a picturesque spot that has been used in provincial tourism campaign images.
In January, 2010, the B.C. government approved a mine plan – known then as Prosperity – that would have drained Fish Lake and used it to store waste rock.
In November of that year, Ottawa ruled the project as it was then designed could not go ahead because of significant adverse environmental impacts including the loss of Fish Lake.
Taseko then reworked its design to relocate tailings facilities and retain Fish Lake and that revised project went to a federal review panel.
On Oct. 31 of this past year, the panel released a report that found "several significant adverse environmental effects" and said the company's plans to preserve the lake were not likely to succeed. That left the final decision up to Ottawa.
Taseko has argued that the panel erred in its report and misunderstood the mine design.
Taseko will consider its options in light of Ottawa's decision, company spokesman Brian Battison said on Wednesday.
"We fundamentally disagree with the decision made by the government of Canada," Mr. Battison said. "The project is just too important to the people of British Columbia, too important to the Cariboo – the logic and common sense supporting this project are overwhelming."Report Typo/Error

REDLANDS - Redlands East Valley's baseball team has hardly overwhelmed its opponents this season.
But what the Wildcats have done is stick to the fundamentals, which in turn has produced the team's best start in school history.
REV (10-1-1) opens Citrus Belt League play with today's game against AB Miller in the evening game of the 17th annual County Clash at the San Manuel Stadium.
"We're doing the little things right," REV coach James Cordes said. "That has translated into some quality baseball. But the moment you stop doing those things, it can turn ugly real quick."
Last season REV faced Fontana in the County Clash, winning 7-1. An early game at the Clash features Redlands against AB Miller.
"It's a great event," Cordes said. "It promotes baseball in the community. It's a great stage for it and it's fun for kids and families."
Redlands East Valley heads into the Clash ranked No. 6 in the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 poll. The Wildcats took runner-up honors in the Redlands Baseball Invitational and did knock off Div. 2 No. 5 Glendora.
"I think we are happy with where we are at right now," Cordes said. "Certainly we have a lot of areas to improve on. In the end, what you do in the preaseason has no bearing on league. We need to keep improving."
Cordes credits team chemistry between and strong pitching for the team's success.
"This is a hard working group and there really aren't any stars on this team," Cordes said. "These guys don't worry about the headlines or the rankings. They have bought into what we are trying to do."
As for pitching, REV has had seven different pitchers in its 12 games. Senior Matt Garcia and sophomore Jake Gozzo headline a rotation that includes juniors Sean Sweeney and Albert Monge, and sophomores David Barela and Anthony Cruz.
Two others, senior Brody Robinson and junior Blake Tuthill will soon join the rotation.
Cordes hasn't tried to overwhelm his young pitchers but instruction has been extensive.
"Often times young players are throwers and then develop into pitchers," Cordes said. "In baseball there is a huge difference. We've tried to shorten that time frame and have worked on that transition from thrower to pitcher."
Still, REV's pitching lineup, guided by assistant coach George Thanopoulis, heads into the Clash with a 1.98 era.
"We've only struck out 67 guys in 85 innings, which means we are pitching to contact and our defense has been good. What it comes down to is that we are doing the small things well."
Sticking to the basics has produced some impressive numbers. The Wildcats have scored 67 runs, a high among teams in the Citrus Belt League. And REV has given up just 30 runs in its 12 games, ranking the Wildcats second among CBL teams.
As a team, REV is batting .308, Zach Kirtley is batting .359, Ryan England is batting .357 and Ryan Williams is batting .333.
REV can expect the usual dogfight from Yucaipa. Last season the CBL title came down to these two squads, a 14-inning victory by REV forced the CBL race to the final game of the regular season.
"They are a great program, well coached and they battle," Cordes said. "It's always a battle."
REV can also expect a step up in game intensity, it's usually a leap from nonleague games to CBL play.
"The league games are different because everyone knows everyone," Cordes said. "There is more scouting, a lot more preparation that goes into the games. It creates a new dynamic to the game."

The easiest way to build your savings is cutting out small, unnecessary purchases. These expenses can add up quickly – make them add up in your savings account, rather than on your credit card bill.
Check the box for each "money-waster" you've caught yourself doing.
So how big of a spender are you?
0-2 boxes = You're a smart shopper.
3-5 boxes = That kind of spending will get you in trouble.
6+ boxes = Yikes! Money doesn't grow on trees.

This week, the continuing strength of global equities in the face of several shocks to the world economy became more impressive, or more puzzling, depending on your point of view. Oil prices rose to a level which will be a serious problem for the uspwing, should it persist. (See this earlier blog.) The ECB became the first of the major central banks to tighten monetary policy. Portugal finally accepted the inevitable. And yet global equities continued to rise.
Furthermore, emerging markets significantly outperformed their developed market counterparts, reversing part of their under-performance in the first few weeks of the year. Several investment banks have now tipped the emerging markets as the right place to be if the developed economies slow under the weight of rising oil prices later in the year. But I am far from convinced about this. Read more
