Video emerged Sunday of a multistory Colombian tourist boat with about 160 people aboard capsizing and sinking in the Guatape reservoir near Medellin.
Herb Morrison's words and emotions remain powerful 80 years later.
The Chicago radio announcer described the final moments of the Hindenburg, the German airship that burst into flames over the Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey as it began its descent on May 6, 1937. Thirty-five of the 97 people on board and one person on the ground were killed."Oh, the humanity!" Morrison said, making broadcast history as he described the disaster.
For the first time in five years, the public on Saturday night will have access to the site where the Hindenburg crashed, NJ.com reported. Observers will get a one-hour window beginning at 5:30 p.m. to visit the site, Carl Jablonski, president of the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society, told NJ.com.
A ceremony honoring the who died as a result of the crash will start at 6:30 p.m. The featured speaker at the event will be Horst Schirmer, who flew on the Hindenburg when he was 5 years old.
Schirmer's father, Max, designed the aeronautics for the airship. Schirmer, now 85, rode in the 805-foot-long zeppelin during test flights in Germany a year before the Lakehurst disaster.
Col. Frederick D. Thaden, the commander of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and Jablonski will also offer remarks at the ceremony.
The ceremony will include a reading of the names of all 36 people who died — 13 passengers, 22 crew members, and one ground worker — and wreaths will be presented in honor of the fallen troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
An exact cause of the disaster is still unknown, although a theory is a spark ignited the blaze after a guide wire snapped.
"A small flame became a big flame," Jablonski said.
It only took 34 seconds for the flames to spread from the rear to the front of the airship, Jablonski said.
The images of the Hindenburg going up in flames would be seen by people throughout the country. The disaster was the first ever to be captured on film and the first motion picture to go viral after the footage was distributed in newsreels and played in movie theaters all over the world, USA Today reported.
Morrison's words were not heard live, nor were they initially linked to the film shot by newsreel crews, Fox News reported.
Ron Simon, the senior curator at New York City's Paley Center for Media, says it was one of the first moments in media history that had a broadcaster reacting to something totally unexpected.
"It was one of the real moments in media history that had a broadcaster reacting to something totally unexpected," Simon told The Associated Press.
Morrison's voice was being recorded on a transcription disc as he described the airship's arrival, Simon said. The disc was running slowly, so his voice sounded higher when played back, the AP reported.
"It's burst into flames!" he shouted. "It's fire, and it's crashing!"
For about 40 minutes, Morrison described the final moments, pausing when emotions got the best of him, and interviewed witnesses. But his report wasn't heard until the next day.
Werner Doehner, 88, the last survivor from the ill-fated flight, was 8 years old when he and his parents, brother and sister boarded the Hindenburg on their way home from a vacation in Germany, People reported.
"Suddenly the air was on fire," Doehner told the AP in a telephone interview this week.
"[M]y mother took my brother and threw him out," Doehner said. "She grabbed me and fell back and then threw me out. She tried to get my sister, but she was too heavy, and my mother decided to get out by the time the zeppelin was nearly on the ground."
"I remember lying on the ground, and my brother told me to get up and to get out of there," he said.
Doehner stayed in the hospital for three months before going to a hospital in New York City in August for skin grafts and was discharged in January 1938, People reported.
As deadly storms slammed Southern states on Saturday, a twister reportedly tore into a home, tossing a 75-year-old woman and her son into the air as they huddled in a bathtub.
Miraculously, the pair survived.

According to KSLA, Rickey Williams and his mother, Charlesletta, of Smithland, Texas, said their perilous ride began that evening after they watched a weather report about a possible tornado in the area.
"I don't know what it was is, but it started, 'Woo woo, woo,'" Charlesletta told KSLA.
>> Watch the interview with KSLA here
Williams said he and his mother hurried to the bathroom, where they took refuge in the tub just before the tornado struck their home.
"The whole house started shaking," Williams told KSLA. "I heard, like, a 'poof,' and I knew the roof came off."
Then they were lifted into the air, spinning, Williams said.

Moments later, when they came down, it "felt like someone placed us on the ground," Williams told KSLA.
Mary Taylor, Charlesletta's daughter, believes a higher power was at work.
"God was watching over her," Taylor said.

A deadly explosion rocked the busy San Pablito fireworks market Tuesday afternoon in Tultepec, Mexico, killing dozens as smoke filled the sky.
Here's what we know so far:
>> PHOTOS: Fireworks explosion at Mexican market kills dozens
1. At least 33 people were killed and dozens injured in the blast, The Associated Press reported. Ten children reportedly were hospitalized.
2. Investigators have not revealed the cause of the explosion. "We are going to identify who is responsible," Avila said.
3. The market was well-stocked for the holidays. "We are obviously in the high season," Tultepec Mayor Armando Portuguez Fuentes said, according to the AP. "There was more product than usual because we are a few days away from Christmas, a few days away from New Year's, and those are the days when the products made here are consumed the most."

4. This isn't the first time the market has been hit by an explosion. In 2005, a blast ripped through the market, destroying "hundreds of stalls," the AP reported. A similar explosion occurred in 2006.
5. The explosion was captured on video. Watch footage from the scene below:

The Georgia man has been using his tractors to grind up debris in his neighbors' yards left over from Hurricane Matthew.
The 98-year-old told WJCL-TV that he is giving back after they helped him.
"I love them and I think they love me. I could say a lot more but that's about it," Wheeler told WJCL-TV. "They are wonderful people, you just don't know. I get choked up. They're great people."

Gayla Bennett, Wheeler's neighbor, said she feels lucky to know him.
"For him to come out and mow his lawn and then our next door neighbor's, and now he's out here on our yard, and he's still going!" said Bennett. "If I could be like him when I'm that old, I'll be happy. He's amazing."
Wheeler said he's happy to do the work and happy to help his neighbors.
"First of all, I want to do it. I want to do. I wouldn't have it any other way," Wheeler said. "The young people learn from the old people, but anyway, I love it. I love to be outdoors. The good Lord blessed me, so I'll give a little back."
Tractor-trailers loaded with supplies for areas struck by Hurricane Matthew are being dispatched from metro Atlanta.
Home Depot has activated its disaster-response command center at its headquarters in Cobb County, Georgia.
The command center opened at 1 p.m. Wednesday, and depending on the weather along the Florida and Georgia coasts, it could stay open around the clock.
>> Hurricane Matthew: Live updates as storm approaches the East Coast
Across three large conference rooms on an upper floor of the corporate headquarters in Cobb County, hundreds of eyes and ears are glued to the weather forecast.
"This morning, as we got an update on the storm's path, we quickly decided to activate our disaster-response command center," Home Depot's Stephen Holmes told WSB-TV's Berndt Petersen.
The command center is tracking Hurricane Matthew and rushing supplies to the Florida and Georgia coasts.
About 350 employees are ordering tractor-trailer loads of plywood, generators, tarps and batteries, and arranging delivery to hundreds of the company's warehouse stores across the two states.
The center can run 24 hours a day if necessary. It has done this before when hurricanes made landfall either on the Atlantic or Gulf coasts.
But right now, the plan is to operate for at least the next two or three days. And that plan is in full swing.
"The trucks are rolling from Atlanta, from our Hurricane Distribution Center in Lakeland, Florida – feeding the stores.
"We also have a distribution center in the Northeast to make sure if we need to move product there, we can do that, as well," Holmes told Petersen.
The company says that right now, the key areas where supplies are being rushed are south Florida and Savannah.
Orlando's WFTV is gathering information on Orlando theme parks ahead of the possible arrival of Hurricane Matthew.

Well, I originally skipped MEMTEST86 on this rig since it lacks an optical drive. I guess that figures.
Since I can't run it until I get a drive for it (I don't think the BIOS allows boot from USB... The BIOS is really limited), I just took out the smaller SODIMM and used it for a day. No BSOD so far, so that might have been the culprit!

Q: My home is a 40-year old ranch in which we have lived for 35 years. The basement was pretty much finished many years ago, but now we're running out of storage space.
I am considering an add-on along a paneled outside wall -- a "bump-in" of sorts. I'm thinking in terms of a cupboard along the complete wall, likely about the height of a kitchen counter, with some shelving and some open spaces for the large items, all with sliding doors.
I'm concerned about proper construction and also whether it would stick out like the proverbial sore thumb, or if there is a way that it could be made to look like it was meant to be.
Any suggestions? - Ardelle, Onalaska, Wis.
Love the idea of a "bump-in."
First, I suggest a giant garage sale. I was able to rid my basement of about 90 percent of its clutter over just two days last spring. What I couldn't sell I donated.
If you're looking for inexpensive base cabinets, I'd check out the ready-to-go stuff at your local home center. I found some for my workshop with solid oak faces on chipboard cabinets, including drawers and hinged doors.
That may seem kind of cheapo, but they're holding up well. I did face their ends of them with plywood for a little extra strength and improved appearance. It also protects the easily damaged chipboard from errant lumber and tools.
I used those same cabinets in my den, but I stained and varnished their red oak faces. They look great, and no one's the wiser about their humble beginnings.
The 36-inch cabinets I got cost just $85 each four years ago. Considering the hardware, it would have cost me as much or more to build them myself.
Of course, you could upgrade to stock kitchen cabinets (or even bathroom cabinets if you wanted them to be lower and shallower).
In either case, installation couldn't be simpler.
All you have to do is level them up with shims and screw into the wall studs through the built-up back edge. Frankly, it takes longer to mount the door and drawer pulls than to put in the cabinets.
You probably will want to add a narrow strip of plywood as a toe kick to cover the spaces between cabinets. It takes nothing more than some wood glue and brads.
You could add wall cabinets above, or open shelves.
I'm awfully fond of the vertical shelf standards that "knife" brackets snap into. That allows you to easily vary the space between shelves -- and even to leave some sections out. You can find all these in various sizes at the home center, too.
All you have to do is screw the standards into the studs, being careful to keep them vertical and level with each other. If necessary, you can even cut down the standards with a hacksaw.
Stock countertops also are available at the home center, but you could fashion them yourself by applying plastic laminate over plywood. If it would seem appropriate in your finished basement, you might even consider ceramic tile counters.
I hope that gives you some ideas.

Padres' Gwynn tests hand with bunting
Padres' Gwynn tests hand with bunting
This was the first time Gwynn -- who has been on the disabled list since Aug. 19 with a fractured right hamate bone -- has used a bat since having surgery to repair the fracture the day after he went on the DL.
Gwynn also played catch prior to the start of Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. It was the fourth time he's done so. It's all part of an aggressive rehabilitation plan to potentially get him back in the lineup before the end of the regular season.
San Diego manager Bud Black said Gwynn could be activated from the disabled list even if he's not 100 percent ready to hit. Gwynn, who was having one of the best defensive seasons of any Major League outfielder before the injury, could be used as a defensive replacement.
"I could foresee that if he's able to throw," Black said. "With the rosters expanded, if we want him as a late-inning defensive move."
Gwynn said there's no timeline as to when he'll be able to take batting practice. He's still two and half weeks removed from surgery and was told at the time of the surgery that he could potentially return in four weeks.
Gwynn suffered the injury taking a swing in a game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Aug. 18.

No. 17 Cal beats Northwestern 65-51
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -- Reshanda Gray shot 9-of-13 from the field, scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as No. 17 California defeated Northwestern 65-51 on Sunday.
After Cal (3-2) scored the game's first 9 points, Northwestern (4-1) cut the deficit to 18-17. But Cal never trailed and led by as many as 18 in the second half.
Afure Jemerigbe had 16 points for Cal and Courtney Range led the team in rebounds with 13.
Maggie Lyon had 17 points for Northwestern, which shot just 3-of-17 on 3-pointers.
Gray entered the game as the Pac-12 Conference leader in field goal percentage and was coming off a career-high 24-point performance against George Washington. It was the Golden Bears' second-straight win after losing two games in a row to then-No. 2 Duke and George Washington.
Cal and Northwestern also met last year as well in Evanston, Ill., a game the Golden Bears won 71-65.

It's amazing and I luv it cuz there is the lazy river and the playground where the bucket dumps water on ur head and I just luved it

My son has a blast every time, lifeguards are very alert, love the lazy river.Problems…very slow service at snack bar, need to be trained on customer service better…get food off warming area before getting drinks for 5 people who came after u, or taking new orders. Kitchen people look to be standing there, if they see food in waiting area, they could run it out to people too. Dj contests are pretty annoying and too long, especially the hula hoop contest….to much talking can't hear music, not enough rafts in lazy river, seem to have to wait awhile for one every weekend we come. Wish they would spruce e up lazy river paint and fix the leak But we keep coming despite the issues, the good outweigh the bad, if u could tweak these issues the place would get a 5 star from me. Thx
E SanRosa
What a deal!! We got there at 3pm. Garage parking, don't forget to get your parking ticket stamped at the park for half off. Admissions, were $12 per person. They have a video game area, rock climbing, etc…They close at about 7pm. They sell non/alcohol drinks, plus snacks. The kids had a blast, and so did we 🙂 So worth it. We'll definitely be back.
Walther Lents
Have the best arcade,best gocarts, and Water Park!You should really go there.
Bri Mac
My suggestion would be to call before going to see if they have groups that will be there at the same time. My family went to the waterpark, which is a small park to begin with, and everywhere we looked were young kids with green or orange shirts on. I have nothing against groups going to public places, but they did not have enough adults controlling the kids, which made for a very short stay for us. For example, in the LAZY river, which should be a relaxing float, we were jumped on, pushed, and kicked numerous times by kids trying to swim, jump in, hit their friends, etc. The lifeguards never said a word to them. We decided it was better just to leave than to continue to endure the lack of control of the groups. We didn't have any other issues, but it was disappointing to stay for such a short time.
Was better then wet and wild for us. It was further away but worth the trip. Easier to keep track of your children.

Cantor on Banking Reform, Financial Markets
Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) today issued the following statement on President Obama's banking regulation and the comprehensive House Republican regulatory reform plan:
"We need smart regulation, not necessarily more regulation. The Administration has placed too much emphasis on government and too little on people. Further empowering the same regulators who presided over the market breakdown is not intelligent. The culture of bailouts must stop, and instead of adding yet another layer to the current patchwork regulatory system, we need to bring stability and security back to the market so credit starts flowing and jobs are created.
"Republicans have offered a better plan to reduce uncertainty and to stop the government from picking winners and losers in the marketplace. We want to see market forces return under a set of smart, focused rules to restore financial security for families across this country. We stand ready and willing to work together so that our capital markets can return to prominence, small businesses can access credit, and America starts creating jobs again."

This book is great, just like the other two! Anxiously awaiting a fourth! There are a handful of editing errors; as is so common with indie publishers, but I do not feel that they detract from the great story line. If you have started the series, invest in book three-you won't be disappointed!!!

I bought this book last night because i was getting very impatient with Barnes and Noble. I finished it today because it's so captivating. But i am a little upset about all the editorial mistakes including but not limited to the biggest one i've seen so far which is an entire paragraph missing between page 181 & 182. That makes it extremly hard to follow. I wish this site would take a bit more care in reading over the books so the author doesn't look like such a bad writer.

Two real estate agents in Victoria, Australia have filed suit against Google. Mark Forytarz & Paul Castran claim defamation due to articles painting them in a negative light that can be found on the search engine. So…they're filing suit for links. Here are Mark Forytarz' search results.
The articles, found on Melbourne Indymedia, claim that Mark Forytarz bullied a mentally challenged man into selling his home in order to earn a $200k+ commission. The article further alleges that Paul Castran used fake bidders to inflate the prices of properties he sold.
Forytarz & Castran claim that the article paints them both in a negative light, and that they have suffered embarrassment & humiliation as a result. They asked Google to remove the links to the article a year ago, but Google did not comply.
So…this begs a few questions:
1) Why aren't they suing Melbourne Indymedia? (Could it be a lack of Google-deep pockets?)
2) Why haven't they launched a counter-PR campaign, explaining their side of the story?
3) How has this not been thrown out of court?
Fri Feb 8, 2008 at 12.06 pm
This is absolutely ludicrous, google does not have time to remove individual links. I highly doubt e-mail addressed to google even gets looked at.
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 2.35 am
Australians are just weird. That's why it hasn't been thrown out of court. The bottom line as every one probably realizes is that these guys are suing Google because they didn't remove the links, but why should it be up to Google to take them down? If they would win this case does anyone even recognize the repercussions of such a verdict?
Information would be scarce as everyone would care about lawsuits! I doubt they would win anything, but I don't think it would be thrown out of court so fast in a place like Australia. Like I said they are weird. They don't think about the repercussions 1st, they listen to the case 1st, and think about how it will affect the world 2nd.
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 2.40 am
Crooked AND stupid.
There is no way they will win this. Google will just say that they only let you search, they have no responsibility for what is posted on the intenetz. And they will win.
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 2.49 am
Well, I guess now that their real-estate careers are over they have got to turn a buck somehow…
Any court with a ounce of search engine experience should understand that Google did not publish this information.
I guess that there hoping google will settle…
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 3.08 am
It's not just Australians:
I also remember reading about a guy who wanted to sue because google links showed an image of one of his clients that he owned the copyright to and so they couldn't show it. Where did the image link come from? His own site… doh…
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 3.14 am
I think whether or not they have the time to remove the links is irrelevant. They should in no way alter their search results for this. (even if the guy wasn't absolute scum)
I the "Streisand Effect" on this will be awesome.
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 3.28 am
Why not let them know via SMS? Details:
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 3.37 am
Sorry folks my little vinod said Australians are just weird.
He also doesn't realize there are precedents for things called liable that allows such things to be heard.
It would be interesting to see if a company like google that can filter the internet to not allow folks like the Chinese the ability to see things being censored, to have to censor what could be viewed as illegal conduct by strangers.
I would not be surprised if they won this, they have been sued in this regard in France and other European countries due to stricter privacy laws than folks have in the US.
This is not too dissimilar to why Tom Cruise's unauthorized biography is being successully banned in different countries as the COS is using these same laws.
Now Vinod get to your room.
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 3.42 am
SMS sent. I think this was a real dumb move and it's backfired badly. All it's done is drawn massive amounts of attention to the article and seems to backup the alligations that these blokes are simply no good. Nice to see karma in action.
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 4.52 am
A non-story tbh – they wont win
Oh, and the Tom Cruise book (see comments) isn't banned – is simply hasn't been released in OZ/UK etc

Hello, my name is Jake Henderson, and I would like to make an enquiry please.
Yes I would like to know why you dont realize how much of a douchebag you are, and that it is YOUR fault that a search for your company comes up with accusations of shoddy buisiness practices. It is highly ludicrous that you even think google gives the first iota of a flying crap about what you have to say, this is a court case you cannot win.
But i gues as you are so clearly stupid that you cannot see this, and I apprectaite having gone out of luck with screwing people over, you need to get your money from somewhere.
Might I suggest that place as a dustman, or perhaps dirty scag ridden prostitute.
Good day you eternally sad and pathetic wanker.

My bet is that google will not settle because this could open the way to a flood of similar lawsuits against them. I reckon that these guys have kicked an own goal and are just wasting their money and google's time.
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 7.20 am
Vinod: Australians are weird??? WTF are you talking about?
It's Americans who seem to sue everyone in sight! Lawsuits like this are rare in Australia, because WE think about the consequences (ie. it's not all just about money). I also thought it was the Americans who didn't think about consequences… ala Iraq War, Vietnam War, 'War on terror', George Bush winning 2 terms, etc. etc.
These guys are obviously nuts if they think they'll win.
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 8.19 am
Americans might like to think that their law extends beyond the borders of their nation, or indeed, beyond the edge of the universe, but we actually do have our own laws here. Laws on defamation in Australia put the onus on the defamer to prove that what they are saying is true. Defamation laws are designed to protect people from slanderous allegations and claims (such as the sort of trash that passes for news in the majority of American gossip columns). It may be hard for Americans, with their cavalier, "say whatever I want" attitude to believe, but as a practising audio engineer in Australia for the last ten years, I have to say to you that it's not that hard to stop and think "could I get sued for publishing this". Google is no exception, or rather, should not be exempt from the law of the land in Australia. If a judge determines there is prima facie case to suggest the claims made within the allegedly defamatory article need to be proven – then it is perfectly within the bounds of australian law for him to issue an injunction to google and demand they take the link down until such time as the case is resolved.
I would have thought you over litigious Americans might understand that perfectly well. After all – the Church of scientology abuses the very same privellige in the USA. Strangely, nobody else seems to "USE" it..
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 10.27 am
Google–Isn"t it amazing the GOOFY people who are siding with google==Why-they are affraid They will loose out because of microsoft–Microsoft likes to control things–So alot of other controliing people just go along for the ride to the black hole in space!! Thats just where everything is eventuly going!!

@Angry Aussie:
That still doesn't make sense. Why is the lawsuit against Google? Google published NOTHING. If there is a lawsuit, it should be against who ever printed the articles in question. Google is just a search engine, and simply shows what is out there.
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 11.30 am
I'm gonna agree with Adam B on this one. Google is not performing the libel they are just displaying information posted by a different party. Seems to me like those particular Aussies caught a bit of American style "sue happy" greed. You know what would be a good idea? Let's sue the one extremely good place to search until they can no longer offer to be a valued source of information. Then we can all be screwed! Fucking idiots. And Australians, don't take offense to my posting, as I would call anyone a money hungry asshole for suing google, wherever they're from.
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 2.42 pm
Vinod said "Australians are wierd". What he meant was "Americans dont understand anything outside America so that makes non-Americans wierd" and I have to agree with that.
Having said that, I have to agree – if you are a scumbucket real estate sales person, you need outing. If the whole thing was false, they wouldnt have waited a year to let Google take it down even if Google agreed it would. I suggest the problem is that there people did as charged and are feeling the results. The link to this article should be sent to every Australian TV and radio station. That way, if they were innocent, they would have their 15 minutes of fame in order to put their case to the public and if they arent, they are damned in a big way.
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 3.20 pm
What a bunch of morons. Thats the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
Now that they've opened this high profile lawsuit EVERYONE in the WORLD knows they are MORONS.
And it's got nothing to do with Australia. It's got to do with IDIOTS.
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 4.19 pm
Obviously no chance of victory and now the whole world will be viewing those links. Great move guys….
Sat Feb 9, 2008 at 9.37 pm
All people are weird, not just us Australians. It's all a matter of perspective. Just remember, there's always someone out there that thinks you're an idiot, so try not give them proof.
Sun Feb 10, 2008 at 8.26 am
haha! this first caught my eye on Digg, and followed it here.
Thankfully those guys arent 'real' lawyers.. or they just might have been able to get an annoying foothold on this. and where would our page ranks go then! 🙂
…where would our page ranks go, while google spiders were suspended 😉
Mon Feb 11, 2008 at 12.09 am
I love it, I bet if they had their own websites filling the first page of a major keyword for themselves they would be showering google with love. I guess in a way it does suck because anyone with basic ot better SEO knowledge "Could" write fake stories and give you a lot of bad press although this doesn not seem to be the case with these guys.
Wed Feb 13, 2008 at 6.25 pm
Hmm…showing something relevant in the results of a search…WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!? I wonder how the Australian justice system will handle it. But are the articles TRUE?
Thu Feb 14, 2008 at 9.26 pm
Another ridiculous law suit! There are thousands of them filed everyday. It does make you wonder how so many of them are allowed to proceed. It seems the justice system is one hand feeding the other.
Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 5.08 pm
Well Well Well People!!!
I tell ya what. Since i move to Australia the only think i hear around me is ppl suing ather ppl to get the money.
A very bad habbit and pour Australian think. You wont see it anywhere else.
Australia is 20-30 years back totady. And will never be todays country. You know why? Because they are stuppid and they don't know how to do it unless someone tell them or see it from others.
Take the Internet, (20 20 yeasr back), take the Australian roads, (no money for them, but we pay freaking high road rates every year), and finaly take the system. Since Howard came up this country whent more and more down. After 12 years finaly the Australians found out the need to change their government. This is Is AUSTRALIA PEOPLE!!!! (WHERE THE BLODY ARE YOU? => Australian Turism Add) 🙂
Fri Feb 22, 2008 at 4.15 pm
Wow. If they realy did get $200k in commission they should be punished. That is why we have rules in the US…As for Google, not sure they even have a play in the entire thing.
Mon Apr 14, 2008 at 12.36 pm
That's nuts…I'm wondering the same thing. Why are they suing Google and not the individuals that posted the information??!!??
Wed Apr 16, 2008 at 9.12 pm
This begs the question: are the allegations TRUE? Usually the truth is the bullet-proof defense in these types of cases.

WINTERBERG, Germany (AP) — Britain's Lizzie Yarnold outdueled Noelle Pikus-Pace of the United States in the second run to win a World Cup skeleton race on Saturday, extending her lead in the series standings.
Yarnold's two-run time was 1 minute, 57.53 seconds. Pikus-Pace was 0.57 seconds back for silver, after being tied for the lead after one run.
Canada's Sarah Reid was third, another 0.39 seconds back.
Yarnold had a 5.34-second start to begin her second run, 0.22 seconds faster than Pikus-Pace, and rode that momentum the rest of the way.
The other American in the field, Annie O'Shea, placed 16th.
Yarnold has 1,085 standings points, 225 more than Pikus-Pace — who lost exactly that many points when she was disqualified after finishing first in the season's opening race at Calgary.

The NBA's new Doctor of Dunk has signed a deal with Dunkin Donuts worth a reportedly small pay out of $100, though offering Griffin all the free donut and coffee products he can consume for life.
The extremely tall and noticeably non-flamboyant athlete, an introvert by glitzy NBA standards, Griffin will start promotional commercials this Spring. Griffin will feature a new donut called the "Blake Cake", a hearty fried confection covered in sugar glaze with a caramel filling. "Fantastic for dunking in coffee" says Griffin.
Critics of the new donut agree, while some flavors from the caramel mix with the coffee after a good solid dunking to provide a cheaper alternative to an expensive macchiato. The Blake Cake will be featured at all Dunkin Donuts restaurants this summer following the first round of commercials. They will feature Griffin flying through the air with donut in hand, ready to slam it into a steaming cup of coffee.
Early commercial filming went well, aside from a few film crew members sustaining first degree burns from splashed coffee. "That Griffin dude can jam", said one sound engineer.
In a related story, Kobe Bryant reportedly offered his promotional services and his name to Dunkin Donuts in 2011, but demanded $21 Million on a five year contract. Though Dunkin Donuts response to Bryant was kept private, insiders say it was a simple text message that said, "Dunk You".

BERKELEY- Fall camp pretty much came to a close Monday as tired and sore Golden Bears ascended the 75-row hike of Memorial Stadium beneath the beading Berkeley sun. Cal will do a quick hour-long walk through tomorrow to officially end camp.
In what head coach Jeff Tedford had said was the most physical camp he had conducted at Cal, he has been most impressed with the effort and competition each player brought during camp.
"The team's willingness to work; it's been very physical and there's been a lot of guys going when they're really banged up," said Tedford Monday. "The competitiveness as well, on both sides of the ball; it's been a very productive camp."
Article Continues Below
Starting quarterback Kevin Riley and a few other starters didn't participate in the live-situation practice but tailback Shane Vereen did participate, finding the end zone a total of three times.
"We let Shane play today because he needed to get some game action," said Tedford. "He was a little rusty, should have punched one in on the goal line he got tackled on, so like to see him get his pads down there and get in the end zone, it was on fourth and one. But the practice did him good today I think."
We'll watch the tape and we'll have those discussions in the next couple of days on solidifying the depth chart and moving forward from there.
Freshman receiver Kaelin Clay has been one of the many impressive newcomers through camp. Clay talked after practice about the experience of his first fall camp as a Cal Bear.
"It was more than I expected with the whole playbook and adjusting from high school to college," explained Clay. "Camp is different from high school. You're not the man anymore, so you're behind everybody so you have to take mental reps. That's what all the coaches tell us: take mental reps when you're not in the game. The mental reps are the most important things. Looking over the playbook - when you're not in meetings or even if you're in meetings- that's the most important thing, knowing your assignment."
Clay, who combined for over 1,500 rushing and receiving yards as a senior at Long Beach Poly last year, discussed some of the biggest transitions from a premier high school player to a freshman at camp.
"In high school defenses usually only play one defense and now in college defenses can disguise a coverage and actually move into another coverage during the play," said Clay. "It's different, it's a lot different, but you adjust to it real quick. When you're in the meetings the coaches tell you what to do and if you just listen to what they tell you, you'll get it right real quick."
Coach Tedford has praised his freshmen all of camp, saying that they will see significantly more time than is typical for a freshman class. For Tedford, getting the youngsters as much live game experience as possible early on is essential to their development.
"They've done good. There is a huge learning curve there so it's going to take time, but the basics they understand," said Tedford. "The receivers have done a really nice job of aligning and assigning. But the picture is going to change from time to time, there's something that is always going to come up, so that's why experience is so valuable, because they are going to learn something new every single time."
"They are ahead because we have forced it that way, we have forced them a lot of reps. A lot of the freshmen didn't get a lot of reps, like on the offensive line, they didn't get a lot of reps. So they are behind the receivers because the receivers got to play a lot. They need to, they are in the two of three deep. So that's why the receivers are ahead."
Tedford is fully aware of the tools that Kaelin possesses and is looking forward to seeing how that talent pans out as he gains experience.
"I know he's skillful," said Tedford of Clay. "He can run, he has good skills, but again it's going to be that learning curve of getting game action to see what it's all about."
According to Tedford, receiver Keenan Allen is the only freshman that will start immediately. Allen's skill set is undeniable and Clay has nothing but respect for the character, skills and teachings of his fellow freshman wide out.
"I respect Keenan with everything that I have," praised Clay. "He's a great, great guy and a great competitor. We come out here and we battle each other; we challenge each other to do things."
"He's been here maybe a week or two longer than we have, so he's more in tune with the offense. He has the upper hand, so learning from him can make all the freshmen better because he runs with the ones. Keenan is going to be a big part of us winning this season. I just have great respect for him."
Kaelin made one of the bigger plays of the day on a kick return, though unfortunately he did not finish the performance as planed.
"I think I caught the ball on the three yard line and got it to the other side of the fifty," said Clay before changing tone. "Ball security, that's what the coaches harp about, ball security, ball security. The ball got popped out and luckily my side of the team got on the ball before the other team did. It was a great return. If I didn't fumble we would have been in great field position for the offense to drive into the end zone, but that fumble, those are just mental things that we have to fix."
Despite coughing the ball up, Clay stays focused on improvement and knows what to do next time he's running off a big return.
"Like I said it was a good return - blocking went well, it was a big hole, I just went through it - coach Ron Gould just told me next time instead of shuffling past a guy, just to take one step and break and go because he said I have the speed to get past him. I just put all these coaching points together and f I get a chance to return one maybe I can take it to the house."
Practice Notes
-It's been one hard hitting camp for everyone the past couple weeks and Tedford knows that his players will need some rest before preparing for UC Davis later in the week.
"We got to get them back fresh. What I did notice down the end is a lot of guys were worn down and beat up," said Tedford. "So now it's time to get back fresh and heal up all those bumps and bruises and sore legs and sore shoulders and everything like that. We'll work on that tomorrow and then next day."
-Tedford's comments on Cal being below the radar in the Pac-10 going into the season.
"It's not something we talk about a lot. I think when we got to camp we talked about it the first day but we don't harp on it day after day. I think they're eager to start to play games and to prove what kind of team we have."
-Cornerback has probably been the most competitive position throughout fall camp. Darian Hagan and Marc Anthony started Monday in scrimmage, with Bryant Nnabuife and Steve Williams backing them up.
"Marc Anthony has had one of the more solid camps of anybody. He's made a ton of plays. He did a great job of tackling in the open field, did a great job of playing pass defense."

Five-star cornerback Gary Gray from Columbia (S.C.) Richland Northeast is leaning toward heading out-of-state to play his college football, the former South Carolina commit told ESPN on Saturday.
"Right now, I'm thinking Notre Dame 60-40 over South Carolina," Gray told a reporter during a live interview halftime of the Belle Glade (Fla.) Glades Central-Duncan (S.C.) Byrnes contest Saturday afternoon in Duncan, S.C.
This is the first time during the recruiting process that Gray has publicly stated that any school other than South Carolina is his leader.
Article Continues Below
Gray, the nation's No. 3 overall cornerback prospect, committed to the in-state Gamecocks in March, but de-committed in July, stating that he was open between South Carolina and Notre Dame. He took an unofficial visit to South Bend just prior to making his decision to de-commit public. Even after he went public with his de-commitment, Gray went on the record multiple times saying that the hometown Gamecocks were in the lead.
Gray is scheduled to make an official visit to Notre Dame the weekend of Sept. 15, when the Fighting Irish play host to Michigan. He will visit South Carolina officially the weekend of Sept. 29. The Gamecocks have a Thursday night contest with Auburn that week. He also is expected to visit South Carolina unofficially for the Gamecocks home contest with Georgia the weekend of Sept. 9.
He plans to announce his final choice following those visits.
Gray isn't the only highly-touted prospect from a southern state that Notre Dame currently is battling the in-state SEC program for. A pair of Tennessee prospects, Knoxville Catholic athlete Harrison Smith and Huntingdon linebacker Chris Donald appear to be down to Tennessee and Notre Dame, and with West Monroe (La.) defensive lineman Will Blackwell has the Fighting Irish in his top two, along with LSU.
Gray is a five-star rated prospect and is the No. 2 overall prospect in the state of South Carolina, according to Rivals.com.


text: hi all, i have a little case of G.A.S. actually, a big one... A good friend of mine recently won an arca swiss 4x5 and 2 or 3 lenses off the bay(i bid against him on fleabay accidentally, =). oops) Well, he and i went out shooting this morning in our local angeles forest. I had another friends Toyo monorail, and he had his new Arca. I want one. His had the collapsible rail, and with the addition of bag bellows. I must say i had much envy in me at the time. Now the Toyo is nice, but NOT a traveling-by-foot camera; at least not for long distances IMO. Have any of you guys had much experience with using an Arca in the field? I would be looking at getting the 4x5 F-Line, and most likely use a roll film back for 6x12 as well. Also, what about the Master Technika's? How do they compare to say a Technika IV or V? Some help would be appreciated, I'm considering selling the Hassy H2 to get one of my own, used of course.... Thanks!

A study published this week in the open access journal PLoS Medicine finds no evidence to suggest that a controversial antidote recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to treat patients poisoned with highly toxic insecticides improves their chance of survival. The results may even add weight to existing concerns about pralidoxime, the treatment recommended by the WHO, by suggesting that it could be harmful in patients who have deliberately poisoned themselves with insecticides.
Poisoning with organophosphorous pesticides - toxic chemicals commonly used in agriculture in developing countries is a global public health problem causing an estimated 200,000 deaths a year. Deliberate self-poisoning with pesticides is a common method of suicide in some countries- in Sri Lanka, more than 50% of fatal suicide attempts are a result of pesticide poisoning. Michael Eddleston, from the University of Edinburgh, and colleagues conducted a clinical trial to study the effects of WHO-recommended pralidoxime treatment in patients who had been admitted to two hospitals in Sri Lanka for insecticide self-poisoning. If ingested by humans the pesticides disrupt the communication between the brain and body, inhibiting the activity of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which plays a crucial role in the central nervous system and the control of breathing. To treat organophosphate poisoning, the WHO recommends that in addition to atropine, an antidote that is known to reverse some but not all of the effects of the poisoning, a regimen of pralidoxime should be used to reactivate acetylcholine activity. As the authors of this study mention, few randomized clinical trials have been conducted into its use, meaning that there is a lack of evidence for its effectiveness, in particular relating to dosage.
The researchers enrolled 235 patients at two Sri Lankan hospitals who had self-poisoned with organophosphate insecticides, determining how much, and which, pesticide each patient had been exposed to, and randomly allocating them to receive either the WHO-recommended regimen of pralidoxime or a salt water placebo. However, the trial was stopped early and did not reach its intended study size owing to discussions surrounding the results of another trial of pralidoxime therapy, carried out in India at the same time which led to a fall-off in recruitment of patients. In the Sri Lankan trial, published in PLoS Medicine, more patients in the pralidoxime arm died than in the placebo arm, despite the fact that pralidoxime was shown to aid acetylcholine activity. Whilst the difference in mortality between arms was not statistically significant, it is suggestive of a higher mortality rate resulting from pralidoxime treatment.
Acknowledging the difficult situation that clinicians now face when deciding whether or not to administer pralidoxime to patients poisoned with organophosphorous pesticides, the authors conclude that there is no consistent clinical evidence for the use of pralidoxime in patients who have self-poisoned with organophosphorous pesticides. They argue that further trials are needed to explore the risks and benefits of oximes and dosing regimens.

Which stocks will perform well in 2013? As the editor of the Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter, I follow value stocks closely. For the past several decades, value stocks have outperformed growth stocks consistently, but during the past 15 months, growth stocks have outperformed value stocks.
During the past three months, though, value stocks have begun to outshine growth stocks. I believe 2013 will be an exceptional year for value stocks. Top-notch companies in leading industries are clearly undervalued and look very attractive.
I scanned my database to find stocks with the right credentials to perform very well in 2013.
One of my recommendations is BlackRock (NYSE:BLK). BlackRock is the largest publicly traded investment management company in the world, with assets under management totaling $3.7 trillion. The company offers a variety of investment and advisory products and services to institutional and individual investors. The 2009 acquisition of Barclays Global Investors, manager of all iShare ETFs, doubled BlackRock's revenues and added significant profits.
BlackRock is best known for its expertise in fixed-income asset management. The company has benefited from the globalization of capital markets and the growing demand for more sophisticated risk management tools and solutions. The firm has been gaining market share, aided by its size and untarnished reputation in the marketplace.
Sales and earnings growth slowed during the past 12 months, but a rebound is under way. Sales will likely rise 9% and EPS will increase 11% in 2013. New business from banks and governments seeking help to manage asset risk and to help unload troubled assets could push sales and earnings higher than expected. BLK is low risk, share price volatility is below average, and the dividend yield is attractive at 2.9%. Buy now.
Another of my recommendations is Kroger (NYSE:KR). Kroger, founded in 1883 in Cincinnati, is one of the largest U.S. grocers, with 2,422 supermarkets in 31 states. The company also operates 790 convenience stores, 344 jewelry stores and 1,141 supermarket fuel centers. Kroger's typical format includes food and drug stores containing bakeries, delis, seafood, meat and floral shops, pet centers and high-quality fresh items such as organic produce.
Management recently introduced an ambitious program to boost the number of new stores. Kroger will also expand its business by launching discount stores and restaurants. Management is committed to improve sales and earnings growth considerably during the next couple of years and beyond.
Recent quarterly financial results have been impressive. Kroger's "Customer 1st Strategy" continues to raise customer loyalty, boost same supermarket sales and increase market share. Management lifted its earnings guidance for the current quarter and forecast accelerating sales and earnings for 2013. Kroger is taking market share despite formidable competitors such as Walmart.
At 11.3 times current EPS and with a dividend yield of 2.3%, KR shares are undervalued. The balance sheet is solid, and Kroger shares are less volatile than the shares of most companies. Buy now.

(stereo-photograph of Cannon Mountain in Franconia Notch, White Mountains, New Hampshire)
Benjamin West Kilburn (December 10, 1827 – January 15, 1909) was an American photographer and stereoscopic view publisher famous for his landscape images of the nascent American and Canadian state, provincial, and national parks and his visual record of the great migrations at the end of the nineteenth century. Kilburn was a legislator in the New Hampshire General Court. A patent was granted for his gun-style camera[2].
Early life[edit]
The son of Josiah Kilburn, an iron founder who manufactured Franconia stoves, Benjamin received his education as a machinist in Fall River, Massachusetts, at age 16. After four years, Benjamin returned to Littleton, New Hampshire, to become a partner with his father in the Josiah Kilburn & Son foundry.
Kilburn was a sergeant in Company D, 13th New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry, and participated with his unit in the Civil War Battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia.
A mountaineer, Kilburn was active on Mount Washington in New Hampshire; in Ouray, Colorado; and in the Sierra Nevada of California, including Yosemite in 1872.
Kilburn Brothers stereoviews date from about 1865. Published sources attribute their stereographs (stereo-photographs) before 1876 solely to Benjamin.[3] His brother, Edward Kilburn (February 27, 1830 - 1884), however, learned the art of photography from a local daguerreotypist, Ora C. Bolton,[4] from neighboring Waterford, Vermont at an earlier date.
Photographer O. C. Bolton also taught Franklin G. Weller of Littleton, New Hampshire. Weller became a notable stereo-photographer who would introduce comic views of a special local color and pioneer a popular line which appeared in later Kilburn subject categories. Bolton was connected with another early stereo-photographer, Franklin L. White of Lancaster, New Hampshire, who published a view list of glass stereographs in 1859.
Early period Kilburn stereoviews were sold by Joseph L. Bates[5], a retail outlet which specialized in Oliver Wendell Holmes stereo-viewers at his location on Washington Street, Boston. A Kilburn-Bates stereoview catalog was published about 1867. The Kilburn list reflected choices similar to those of Franklin L. White[6]. Bates commercial support gave Kilburn Brothers their first significant push in the marketplace.
Kilburn Brothers and B. W. Kilburn Co.[edit]
Their first stereoscopic views were produced in Edward Kilburn's studio in the McCoy Block in Littleton. The location proved to be too small for their popularity. The business remained family-centered and was largely focused on local subjects and talent. Benjamin's daughter Elizabeth and her husband William Jackson were employees who helped to develop the quality product associated with Kilburn views.
By 1868, a second larger viewshop was built at the Chutter Block location on Main Street. After the Boston Fire of November 1872, a new factory was built on Cottage Street with more room to expand. Both of these larger viewshops were but one block from the Littleton railroad station. Young salesmen carried Kilburn views onto the trains and south to an ever-expanding audience. Today the site of the third viewshop is a state historic landmark. They quickly became the world's most extensive manufacturer of stereoscopic views.
Edward Kilburn retired from the partnership about 1877, although the product continued to be identified as Kilburn Brothers until the late 1880s. John P. Soule, a famous stereo-photographer from Washington Street in Boston, was closely associated with the Kilburn Brothers. A significant number of his negatives were shipped to the Kilburn business of Littleton in 1881. Benjamin was active in the National Photographic Association.
The new B. W. Kilburn & Company brought many changes in stereoscopic technology and audience. By 1890, Benjamin's second son-in-law, the attorney Daniel Clark Remich, had joined the board of the firm, as well as James M. Davis, agent for a growing army of door-to-door salesmen. Davis would in later years direct the day-to-day decisions of the firm. As general manager, located first in Philadelphia and later in New York and St. Louis, he used his cable address "Artistic" to direct production, send photographers to distant lands, and hire a sales force to distribute the views.
The Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893 became the high-water mark for their business as they acquired exclusive rights to sell stereoscopic views of the World's Fair.
The business was succeeded by several of its former salesmen and competitors including: W. F. Burns & Co. of St. Louis in 1910; Underwood & Underwood brothers of New York; B. L. Singley of the Keystone View Company; and others.
Benjamin W. Kilburn is remembered both as a visual historian of immigration and international tourism and as the world's most extensive manufacturer of stereoscopic views from 1865 to 1910.[7][8] He became a pioneer of photojournalism documenting the presidential inauguration of Grover Cleveland, the Johnstown Flood in Pennsylvania, the Boer War, the Boxer Rebellion, and the Spanish-American War, among other events. He also is credited with invention of a photo gun camera, which was manufactured by Scovill Mfg. Co. from 1882 to 1886, to circumvent the tripod usage while taking pictures among the White Mountains, New Hampshire.[9]
Civic-minded citizen, American Civil War veteran and supporter of the Grand Army of the Republic, he developed an early fire-fighting apparatus, and was involved in search and rescue on Mount Washington.[10][11]

After three main games and two spin-offs, the Assassin's Creed franchise has finally run out of, well, assassins.
While the main protagonist — and newcomer to the series — Edward Kenway still adorns the murdering cult's typical hooded attire, that's where his similarities with the previous games' leading men end.
Edward is, for all intents and purposes, a pirate — no matter how the game may try to spin it. He sails a ship, robs fellow seamen, and fights with swords and flintlock pistols. The only things he is lacking are a long, dreaded, black beard (for which a counterpart makes up for) and a nasty attitude — as, for the most part, he is a noble buccaneer. He kills for good, and only robs those who deserve it. Think of him as a water-wading Robin Hood.
While the story implications for switching the focus from that of an assassin to a pirate are cut and dry, the real changes come in the gameplay.
No longer bound to land, you are able to explore the huge open-world as you head between objectives. You can roam any island you pass, or rob any boat you see. This freedom is a far cry from the franchise's beginnings of enclosed cities and straightforward passageways. The biggest of these changes come, though, when you're done exploring and you chose to attempt a mission. The repetitive follow-a-target jobs from previous entries still encompass much of the game, but they have been given new life when you head to sea. While there, expect to still chase and kill targets, but you'll be doing so while battling gusts of wind and large waves.
Some of the changes aren't as subtle as environmental effects, though. Your trusty ship — The Jackdaw — allows you entry to a host of new activities. Anything from pillaging ships to upgrading your own are available while at sea. The variety will want to keep you off land, though, unfortunately, you'll be forced to return at times.
The switch between land and sea can be disappointing, but the change of pace helps keep each section fresh, even if the mission structure wants me to say otherwise. Despite this, Assassin's Creed IV manages to improve on its ancestor's formula, but it'd just be nice if they were given a new recipe.

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Detectives arrested a suspect in Tuesday night's fatal shooting in the parking lot of an Everett motel.
Police believe 37-year-old Heath E. Mitchell was selling drugs out of a motel room and fled after the shooting. He was tracked down by detectives who served search warrants at several locations overnight. He's jailed for investigation of related offenses.
The gun that was apparently used in the shooting was found by a police dog.
Police say the shooting victim was a 39-year-old Seattle man.

FitzPatrick in new bid to have State pay legal costs
Former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Sean FitzPatrick has challenged a ruling that he is not entitled to the legal costs of his defence for his 48-day trial in which he was cleared of charges of giving illegal loans.
Earlier this year, Mr FitzPatrick (66), of Greystones, Co Wicklow, was acquitted at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court of 16 counts of providing illegal loans to the Quinn family and the Maple 10 group of investors to buy shares in Anglo.
Last June, Circuit Court Judge Martin Nolan rejected an argument from Mr FitzPatrick's legal team that he should not be liable for the costs of his defence, which are thought to be substantial, despite his acquittal.
The State had opposed the costs application on the grounds that the prosecution was in "the public interest".
Yesterday at the High Court, lawyers for Mr FitzPatrick (above), who was not present in court, said Judge Nolan's decision should be quashed and that he should be paid his costs.
Leave to bring the challenge was granted, on an ex-parte (one-side only represented) basis, by Ms Justice Marie Baker who made the matter returnable to a date in November.
Mr FitzPatrick's defence was privately funded after he was refused directors' and officers' liability (D&O) cover. He did not seek legal aid.

Police are warning the elderly to be on their guard against fraudsters claiming to be able to recover cash spent on payment protection insurance (PPI) after a Leyland pensioner was duped out of £500.
A 76-year-old woman was visited by a representative from a company offering to reclaim PPI insurance.
Several weeks later, the victim was contacted and told there was a cheque waiting to be delivered to her but she was told that to claim the cheque a small fee needed paying.
The victim agreed and was visited by a company representative and duly paid the fee via Ukash transactions at a local shop.
The offender then reassured his victim that a cheque would be dropped off at her home later the same day, but this never happened.
Police said callers tell victims they have several thousand pounds waiting for them and advise them to obtain a 'Ukash' voucher for a set amount, usually between £100 and £900 claiming that they need the voucher to release the funds. The victims will obtain the voucher, send it off but then never hear back from the company.
DC Tony McClements from Lancashire police said: "Although Ukash is a reputable company, the callers claiming to be from this PPI company are often not and are just using a legitimate company's name to give themselves credibility."

Nvidia Pulls off 'Industrial Light and Magic'-Like Tools
3 comments post a comment
Nvidia has pulled together its seemingly disparate software tools and technology and bundled them into a product it is calling GameWorks. It's the Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) of the game development industry.
To make a really functional, believable simulation you have incorporate an enormous amount of functions: physics, destructible objects (buildings to chairs and bottles), global illumination that casts shadows and reflects light off of objects creating even more shadows and illuminations (colored by the object), hair (one of the most difficult and complex elements), smoke, fire, rain, water, and fog, particles for sparks, hair, and smoke, fabric (clothing, flags, and curtains), motion blur, tessellation (fewer triangles in the distance than up close, dynamically altered), physically correct rendering using ray-tracing and ambient occlusions, and skin with subsurface diffused reflections and coloring, and that's the short list.
Nvidia has been collecting and developing software to do all of these things and more. It has acquired several leading CG software firms and few startups, and has over the years been supporting game engine developers like Ubisoft, Unity, and Epic in adding realistic simulation capabilities to their engines. At the same time Nvidia has been working with game developers helping them incorporate those functions in their games, in many cases actually writing the code to exploit such features. AMD offers similar services to the game developers, and even Intel has contributed to game development and simulations.
But Nvidia had and has the biggest library and the biggest team of CG software engineers. Last year Nvidia pulled together all the stuff it had in physics, using its proprietary GPU PhysX software (which also runs on CPUs), its ray tracing and other rendering tools from OptiX and it Mental Images groups, and its VisualFX algorithmic work and bundled it up in GameWorks. The company first announced it somewhat unceremoniously at GDC, and they showed it again this year. At its own conference GTC, in San Jose this week, the company gave full scale demonstrations and classes of the middleware tools and libraries.
Real time, 30 to 60 fps HD+ demonstrations of simulated smoke, a car driving down a slick wet street and skidding, a giant blue whale busting out of a luminous plankton rich ocean causing enormous wave reactions while stars twinkled in the background -- it was a scene from the Life of PI that took days to render, and Nvidia was doing it in real time -- an amazing demonstration.
The kicker was Epic's latest demo of a future soldier in a fight in a subway hall. There was lighting, shadows, water and reflections, skin, destruction of wall tiles (due to heads being banged against them), and it was gripping.
The president of VMware said after seeing it (and not knowing what he was seeing), "Wow, what movie is that?" And that's what it's all about -- dispersion of disbelief. You've heard me talk about this before, and we're almost there. I famously predicted at a prestigious event three years ago that by 2015 there would be no more human actors, it would be all CG. Well I may end up being 52% or better right (phew).
Games are now going to be full-fledged total simulation systems with real time everything, and the tools to get them there are largely going to come from Nvidia.
And... that's 2014 and 2015. By 2016 to 2017, they will run on our tablets and phones.
