THE MAROON A Loyola Tradition Since 1928 • "For a greater Loyola" ghdgh hgh hghgh Mardi Gras Mambo! Injuries from motorcycle accident kill Loyola senior By CRAIG MALVEAUX Staff Writer Matthew Jones, senior finance and accounting major, died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident last weekend. He was 27 years old. Jones leaves behind his wife, Noelle, and three children. Jones, who transferred to Loyola in 2010, served in the U.S. Army as an Army Ranger for seven years prior to enrolling at Loyola to finish his education. According to a university-wide email, funeral services have been planned for March 3 at Lake I .awn Metairie Funeral Home in New Orleans. Visitation will be held from 12 to 2 p.m., followed by a ceremony honoring Jones' life. Loyola is discussing plans for an on-campus memorial for Jones. Criag Malveaux can be reached at ramalvea(njloyno.edu Students, faculty admired professor By SCOTT OBRIEN Senior Staff Writer Dr. Peggy McCormack had passion for English and film, but she had an even greater passion for the well being and success of her students. Dr. McCormack died on Feb. 21 from a lengthy illness. She attended the University of St Thomas in Houston where she received her BA., then earned her Ph.D. from Rice University. She began teaching at Loyola in 1981 as an English professor, teaching classes in American literature and British fiction. u She was a great teacher, a kind person, a strong leader and a good friend. Kim Buri English junii She helped found the English writing major, as well as the Writing Across the Curriculum program. Aside from English, Dr. McCormack had a life-long love of film.

While working at another small Jesuit institution, Manganaro said he realized his interest in working at a Jesuit university like Loyola. Manganaro currently serves as the dean of Arts and Sciences at Gonzaga University in Washington state. Manganaro moved from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. to Gonzaga because he said he saw the move as an opportunity to be involved with "student-centered" concerns. Manganaro has experienced curriculum revision similar to the one happening at Loyola at both Gonzaga and Rutgers. Manganaro said the Gonzaga revision process "had to be asking at the question, what should our students have instilled in them upon graduation?"

Just uploading these for fun-totally "non-art" related. These are nothing amazing or even close to good, but they're fun and heck-that is what cookies are supposed to be. FUN. Sugar cookies are my family staple for christmas, mostly cause we have so much fun frosting them. With the Dala horses, I always try to do something fun with them-this year was an obvious choice, My Little Pony.
There was only 4 dala horse cookies, thus why only 4 of the 6 (not that I don't love Apple Jack and Fluttershy-just didn't have enough of the right colors for them).

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Pours out from the 12oz bottle a very dark brown-black color. The head summited at about three-quarters of an inch, before heaving way to a thick tan cap. Not too much lace formed on the glass as I drank the beer down.
One can definitely pick up on the molasses and chocolate in the nose of this beer. Straightforward aromas that pique a drier and roastier curiosity. Hints of minerality, like hard water, and just a touch of lactic acid; but not much, leaving deserved reason as to why this is not a milk stout. Just a hint of dark fruit skins, or maybe a tannic relevance of them. Black cherry or blackberry comes to mind, but no real fruity essence showing up. Hops are low, hard-to-uncover, yet earthy. Malts have that roasty dark bread note, but still almost balances out without much barley grain coming through.
Rich with molasses-like dark sugar bitterness, like it's a little burnt. More grain comes out now, and it too has a nice roasted quality. It's almost enough to stave off the chocolate, which pops up as a melty dark chocolate note that's quite bitter, in and of itself. Further bitterness can be attributed to earthy, yet faintly citrusy, hops. These flavors make a lot of sense to me in this offering. Hints of tree bark, baked earth, toffee, and faint licorice have ways about themselves in the flavor profile. Lactose addition seems to be a bit of a stretch now, but there is an undeniable tanginess to the finish. It's small, but there. More so, I'm picking up on a sweet alcohol note that pulls some good strength on its back and makes this the warming winter seasonal that I think it is (at least, I don't see it on the shelves during the warmer months).
The mouthfeel is relatively thick, purging out a fluttering carbonation sense with body heft. What's irreplaceable, however, is a good sting of warming booze that shoves a little past your typical 7% ale. Again, I like it, because it's affirming. It's just that this wouldn't be best drunk outside on a warm day. Hard to think of an American Stout having those kind of characteristics, but this is knocking on the door of Imperial strength, or at least, so it seems.
All things considered, this makes for a very enjoyable beer, in its own right. Stocky, bitter, gooey, and full of warmth; Cocoa Loco is solid. They really should've upped the ante and threw in some chipotle peppers into the fermenter, but that's just like my opinion, man. Cheers!

Poured from a 12oz. bottle [dated 20 Dec. 2012 and purchased in MI last month] into a snifter after a bit of warming .
Deep, dark brown coming out of the bottle, but black in the glass. A decent sized head forms but is mostly gone before the first sip. Nice coating on the glass with each tip.
S: Too weak and subtle for style, and a bit metaliic. Hints of milk chocolate, roasted malts, hops and a touch of dark fruit.
Taste: Hop level of an Ameican stout but the roasted malt component is too weak. Alcohol too obvious; These form a messy conglomerate with the cocoa. Even the after-taste doesn't gel.
Feel: Smooth and near creamy; full body, medium-low carbonation, slightly sticky finish.
O: Disappointing. ABV seems much higher, say 10%, it lacks balance, and roasted malts lack prominence, I suspect my rating will be noticably low, but I'm actually being a little geneorus, suspecting this may be a bad bottle; but then again, there's no reason it should be.

Poured into a perfect pint.
3.25 A: Black color. Two fingers of frothy light brown head. Retention is lacking, but a short ring of lacing is left.
4.0 S: This smells great! The chocolate and molasses mesh with the roasted barley to make something special. It integrates so well. The lactose then offers a little twang to the mix. The powerful, yet supple roast is balanced by malty sweetness with caramel and even a touch of dark fruits.
3.25 T: Unfortunately the nose is much deeper and better integrated than the taste. Still, it's good, just not great. Moderate to heavy roastiness enhances the hop bitteness. The sweetness doesn't quite balance it out. The chocolate, molasses, lactose combo seems out of balance with the roast. Somewhat of an ashy taste on finish. Herbal and citrusy hops.
3.25 M: Medium body. Good moderate carbonation. It's creamy, but in a not creamy way. It's hard to explain why I'm not a huge fan of this mouthfeel.
3.25 D: The nose got me interested, but unfortunately this beer falls just north of average.

Excellent beer, smooth and refreshing. Great head, excellent pour. Great taste, rich chocolate notes, not overly sweet. No aftertaste. Very cold mug insures solid taste for the whole bottle.

A solid, very creamy tan head sits on top of a dark brown brew containing ruddy highlights. It's thick and gives the impression of being opaque though it isn't. The head, almost reaching one finger, remains dense and doesn't fade beyond a foam thick enough to keep a solid blanket that doesn't dissipate further. Patchy lacing clings to the glass.
The aroma is sweet and earthy, with a molasses note that seems very much like blackstrap more than anything. It gives off just a touch of something like black licorice. Everything translates pretty exactly to the flavor. Malt-forward for sure, the cocoa promised is evident, and it sits over roast, a light touch of smokiness, molasses and a smooth creamy note without overpowering them. There's some toffee and maybe a hint of dark fruits, something like chicory lurking underneath. All in all it melds well and makes for a nice profile.
t first it seems it's not a particularly big stout, but it does end up having quite a bit of heft. The body is full and rich, with a good creamy bulk to it. It's fortunate that it doesn't sit to heavy, and I think a good balance is struck in the feel as well as in the other aspects. The combination of thickness and sweetness tends toward a sticky feel, but it's ultimately kept in check.

12 oz bottle, no date
pours black, with thin off-white colored head that fades quickly. not a huge aroma, but increases a bit as it warms. a bit of sweet chocolate. taste is not roasty, but not sweet either. mild tastes of bitter cocao and burnt sugar. medium body - medium to higher carbonation. could be thicker.
overall - okay, but certainly doesn't live up to the "loco" chocolate level in my opinion.

Chocolate, molasses, brown sugar, and toasted bread are all notable in the flavor.

12 oz. bottle, with a vague remnant of a bottled on date which I think reads Bottled 09/25/2012. I have had plenty of Arcadia beers in the past, but this has not been one of them. The second beer by Arcadia that I am reviewing here on BeerAdvocate.
Poured into a Firestone Walker pint glass.
A - Fairly non-aggressive pour yields an opaque black colored body with a tiny thin mocha colored foam which disappeared pretty instantly. No real lacing to speak of.
S - Can definitely smell some cocoa. Dried dark fruits, and a bit of alcohol presence. Burnt brown sugar. Molasses. Vanilla extract. Smells pretty nice, but it could have more going on.
T - Cocoa. Brown sugar. Vanilla. Chocolate cake kind of taste. Tastes like desert in a bottle to me. Decent amount of carbonation, pretty well-balanced. A tasty stout, but there should probably be more going on considering what went into this one.
M - Creamy, milky, subtle cocoa flavor leaves a dry powdery finish on the palate.
Overall, I'm impressed, and it is definitely a beer I'd drink again. The first stout I've tried from Arcadia, and a dangerously drinkable one at 7.00% abv. Arcadia does good things, and I should probably be picking up their stuff more often than I am. A solid stout.

Pours a dark black with a brown head that tends to linger a bit.
Smell is sweet and roasty with a hint of chocolate.
Taste is very sweet almost syrup like. Hints of the chocolate and almost a dark fruit flavor.
Finish is a bit biting with the chocolate and sweetness.

Poured like a stout, thick and black with a nice khaki head that stayed for a minute or two. The scent is weak, a bit of malt, a bit of Graham cracker, even a bit of chocolate. The taste is nice, not overly flavorful, but nice. The chocolate and Graham cracker are there, nothing complex but nice. There's a touch of alcohol on the finish but I like it! This brew is nothing special but I'd certainly drink it again and enjoy it.

Picked this up at Buy-Rite in Jersey City recently, having never tried this before. I hadn't had a Stout since the weather changed and this looked like an interesting one to start off with. For some reason, this beer never clicked with me and although I can appreciate the boundary that this pushed, it felt a lot stronger than it was in actuality. This is certainly not one to be enjoyed quickly and even as it warmed up, there was something that didn't quite click with this.
The pour to this was dark - not quite black but a brown that was dark enough to block all the light, even around the edges. Not a lot of head and not as much lacing as I would liked to have seen. Espresso and booze filled up my pint glass as I gave this a whiff and they were joined by chocolate, molasses, some pumpernickel spice, and just a hint of lactose in the mouthfeel. This was a bit thinner than most other Stouts that I've had and the carbonation was present in taste, if not in sight. For some reason, the aftertaste did not do it for me as the roast bitterness was too astringent and the booze just wouldn't let go. If this was more along the lines of a Milk Stout and has some creaminess to it, maybe I could have warmed up to it.
Unfortunately, I never did no matter how much this warmed up. It felt a lot stronger than it actually was and the kind of chocolate that this emulated was not powdery enough to match the flavors and aroma. This was a different Stout but certainly not better and with so many coming onto the shelves this time of the year, there are plenty of better options to spend your money on.

Very very dark brown but with noticeable clarity as it pours, thin brown head. Chocolate, asphalt, coffee and faint dark fruit on the nose. As the beer airs out a bit, more chocolate comes through covering up the initial asphalt like smell.
Pretty nice stout. Smooth creamy body with a decent amount of carbonation. Mild chocolate and cocoa powder up front rolls into a bitter black chocolate and coffee taste with an underlying earthy bitterness. Faint chalky mouthfeel. Good balance. Faint alcohol heat and mild bitterness that builds on the back of the tongue. Not overly complex but has enough going on. Overall a pretty nice stout but should definitely come in 6 packs. Alcohol heat and astringency takes away from the beer slightly.

Pours used motor oil pitch black color with a big frothy 2 finger dark tan head that faded very slowly and was full of tight bubbles, leaving very good spotty lacing.
Smells of roasted grains, chocolate, cocoa powder, malt, chicory, herbs, caramel, syrup, light coffee grinds and some burnt wood. It's a mashed up roasted grain nose that has nice chocolate accents that smell sweet and almost like coffee.
Tastes like it smells, with roasted grains, chocolate, cocoa powder, malt, nut, toffee, chicory, molasses, caramel, coffee grinds, charcoal, very light hops, and yeast or a penny aftertaste that's bitter; pretty much all malt with some alcohol peeking through, but not in a bad way.
Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, with mild carbonation, a thick chewy body and a sweet chocolate finish that's bitter like a strong coffee. A slow sipper based on the weight.
A flavorful stout that is unbalanced and gets better as it warms, but it's only above average due to the nice complex roasted malts and chocolate flavor that basically rule the taste. It was good and I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't run out to buy it, yet I'd definitely have it again if I saw it at a bar.

Bottle poured into my Penn State handled mug. Go State.
A: Pours a deep murky dark shade of brown, with a moderately thick tan head on top that dissipated quickly.
S: Roasted malts, slight touch of coffee notes, and a bit of cocoa present in the nose. All at a moderate volume.
T: The molasses that the bottle indicates is included here jumps out at me first. Nice creaminess. A touch of vanilla. Big notes of chocolate on the back end. Notes of coffee underneath.
There's a touch of roasty bitterness on the back end, likely being supported by a good dry hop presence, that rounds things out and brings it all together.
M: Moderate heft. Good creaminess in the mouth. Carbonation is appropriate.
D/O: Enjoyable and repeatable.

Midnight black and opaque with complete absence of color when held to light. Light tan head with average retention but forms a film around to edge of the glass and adds some nice lacing after each sip.
Aroma is dark, primarily coffee, chocolate and charcoal. Alcohol has a sherry-like quality. I can smell some burnt molasses as well.
Solid malt character consisting of burnt toast and cooked corn. Roasted almonds and dark chocolate provide a satisfying bitterness. Molasses lies in the background and the lactose adds a sweet and somewhat tart character to the mix. Hops are subtle with earthy tones that compliment the roasted bitterness quite well.
Medium bodied with a syrupy, chocolately texture mid-drink that lingers into the finish but finishes with a tad more dryness from the hops. Low-medium carbonation but flavors are strong enough to assert themselves with the bubbles available. No sticky feel, a definite plus.
Overall a great stout and I like the creative additions to the recipe. They definitely spent some time with this perfecting the balance and the result is very tasty!

12oz bottle from The Beer Baron (Detroit, MI). 3.39. No bottling date. Served in a Souther Tier snifter.
Pours near black brown with a quarter finger tan head. No lace.
Smells of bakers chocolate, cream coffee and a little honey.
Bitter dark chocolate leads the taste followed by molasses, coffee, smokey cherry, slightly nutty and char. An interesting blend that covers any trace of alcohol.
Light to medium feel with crisp carbonation. Long bittersweet chocolate coffee aftertaste.
Not bad at all. Much more bitter than I'm used to in a stout brewed with lactose but an interesting combination. Worth trying but I don't think I'd pay over $3 for another bottle.

Small, thin tan head. Brown body. A little flat, I think.
Smell is bitter dark chocolate.
Flavor is also bitter chocolate. Somewhat dry. No hops to speak of. Not getting the molasses. It's good, but not all that complex.
Slightly coating. But generally thin.
Overall, it's an OK beer.

A: Pours dark,dark brown with a smallish, light brown head that dissipated somewhat quickly. Would've liked a little more head.
S: Nice chocolate and molasses tones, especially as the beer warmed up a little.
T: Well balanced with definite chocolate and roasted malt flavors. The molasses flavor was subtle, and considering the label says it was brewed with molasses, it would've nice to have this flavor to be a bit more overt. Overall, however, the flavor was very nice. The beer finishes slightly bitter with sweet malt overtones. Lovely.
M: Medium mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. I would have liked a bit more body, but for a beer of this style, it wasn't bad. Again, it improved as it warmed up (I probably had it too cold).
D: Very drinkable. Not the best stout I've had, but overall it was very enjoyable. I would definitely drink again!

Pours dark brown in color with a khaki head. Maybe a touch watery on the nose, but otherwise nice roast and chocolate aromas. A hint of coffee and some molasses for sweetness. The flavor isn't bad, but similarly watery. Cocoa/chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt make up most of the substance. A slight sweetness of toffee and molasses, too. Not bad, but not great either.

Poured in June 2012 from a bottle.
A: Nice looking beer, typical of the style. Dark with a little head if I remember correctly (reviewing from notes and I wasn't overly "detailed")
S: Smelled nice and complex. Chocolate and sweetness.
T: Taste had a nice complexity and good balance. Chocolate, roast, and some sweetness. Sweeter than I expected. A strange bitterness that I didn't particularly enjoy toward the finish.
M: A bit too carbonated for my liking, which was ultimately the demise of this beer for me. Less carbonation and it would've been very nice.
O: A decent beer. One I'd gladly drink again, but won't go seeking out.

Jet black color. Poured a giant and fluffy light brown head. It took about 10 minutes to pour because of the head constantly foaming up. It left behind tons of sticky lacing. Looks awesome.
Roasted chocolate, coffee, cocoa. They were all there, but one didn't really stand out from the other.
Roasted malt and a lactose sweetness. Cocoa and coffee. There is a bitternes that lingers on for a bit, but finishes pretty clean.
Medium light body. The brew seemed a bit over-carbonated. There was a bit of an acidity and it was a little bit messy throughout the sip, but the clean finish fixed it.
An awesome looking stout that was very drinkable. The flavors were muddied up at times, but the clean and sweeter finish were the highlights of the beer.

This nice lady on the bottle art drew me to this brew. Poured into a Winking Lizard pilsner glass.
Appearance - Two fingers of luscious milkshake-esque head. The head is creamy like a milky rootbeer float. Appears very sweet. Delicious, cascading lacing. The beer is pitch black and completely opaque. Dark as night with brown hues at the surface.
Smell - Exceptionally strong cocoa in the aroma. The lactose is very apparent - the smell of chocolate milk hits hard. Heavily roasted chocolate that is sweet, rather than bitter.
Taste - A very, very impressive stout. A toothsome roasted waterfall coats the palate. Tastes of sweet milk chocolate. There is no bitterness in the taste, which is good for this beer. Honey, or molasses as the bottle states, slides over the tongue. A light alcohol burn throughout the taste that is not aggressive. A bit of dry cocoa that adds to the beers complexity.
Mouthfeel and Drinkability - Sweet and smooth throughout the taste. A bit dry on the finish. Medium-bodied and a pleasant, easily drinkable sipper.

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass at cellar temperature.
L - Deep brown color with a 1-finger tan bubbly head. Pretty good retention but not much lacing. Lots of bubbles coming to the surface.
S - Definitely sweet with chocolate, lactose, and molasses aromas. There's maybe a slight undertone of roasted, coffee-like malt.
T - Follows the nose to a tee. Again, very sweet but not sickeningly or artificially sweet. Definite chocolate, molasses, and lactose presence. Also again, there's a subtle undertone of roasted coffee bitterness. Very, very subtle. All the flavor is here mostly sweet.
F - Light-to-medium-bodied with lots of carbonation, a creamy but crisp mouthfeel, and a sweet and slightly dry finish. Chocolate and lactose sweetness lingers for a little bit.
O - I'm not sure why everyone is hating on this beer so much. I thought it was a very tasty stout. Yes, it's mostly all the way over on the sweet rather than bitter side of the spectrum, but not artificially so. I think the lactose blends well with the molasses and chocolate, which I definitely thought had a strong presence here. I thought this was a tasty beer, and I'll look for more from Arcadia in the future.

12 Oz poured into a tulip glass
This beer pours pitch black with a rather modest one finger of a brown head, not a whole lot of retention. The smell is quite nice on this one, some cocoa and coffee as well as some roastiness, the smell is this beers best quality. The taste of this beer is chocolate, coffee and a nice complex malt variety. I do think this beer could have lost the lactose sugar and been fine because its a little too bitter sweet. Overall this is a solid stout, not as heavy on the chocolate as I would have liked but a pretty solid offering from Arcadia.

I apologize for the sound quality of the video. However, I've heard many people complain about crowdfunding campaigns that had high video budgets, the general attitude is "If you can afford to have such a snazzy video, why should I give you money?"
We're a very small start-up with very few resources, please do not confuse that as a lack of professionalism or passion.
Please reply or contact me with any other concerns you may have. Thanks.

To celebrate the launch of their website, Solstice Sunglasses threw a big launch party and invited some pretty hot celebrities! Our personal favorite was hottie Hunter Parrish who tried on several different looks as he perused the online catalog.
Did you guys see that outrageous finale on his show "Weeds" Monday night? After knowing Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) for this many years you really realize that she always has a plan and finds her way out of trouble. While going to jail may not have been her best option, it sure does beat being dead at the hands of her baby daddy Esteban (Demian Bichir) and/or his minion Guillermo (Guillermo Diaz).
I really have a soft spot for Hunter's character Silas who so desperately just wants a normal life. He just found out that Judah, the father he always thought was his parent indeed was not. Nancy got pregnant by her former boyfriend Lars and never told either man.
Just as Silas found hope at a little normalcy, he leaves his newfound papa and heads to the airport to join his family who are escaping to Europe. Esteban and Guillermo of course were at the right place at the right time so they snag Silas and use him as a trade for his little brother Stevie.
Will the Botwin/Newman family sans their matriarch make it to Europe? Can Nancy somehow strike a deal with the police by telling them what she knows about her ex in exchange for shorter sentence or even freedom?
Watch out for an all new season of Weeds in 2011.

Mike Judge on Beavis and Butt-Head | Interview
Beavis and Butt-Head return.
Two dudes in Metallica and AC/DC T-shirts mock episodes of Jersey Shore and a music video with barely clad female "construction workers"—cue the salacious sniggering. Yes, after a 14-year hiatus, Beavis and Butt-Head return. In the interim, the mind and voice behind them, Mike Judge, has spearheaded a hit animated series (King of the Hill) and live-action films that have amassed cult followings (Office Space, Idiocracy, Extract). Judge, 49, who lives in L.A. and Austin, Texas, spoke while driving to the studio in Burbank, California, where he's working on his new MTV series, Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head.
You've often said Beavis and Butt-Head is the thing you're most proud of. Why is that?
Other than some of the episodes that were a train wreck when we were starting up, it's the funniest thing I've done. Beavis and Butt-Head—if I was sentenced to labor and had to work on something forever, it would be that.
In the first series, Beavis and Butt-Head offered commentary on MTV music videos; now it's also MTV reality shows like 16 and Pregnant. Do you see those shows as a harbinger of the end of times?
There's always TV shows that people think is the harbinger of the end of times. You can go back 40 years and look at that show Queen for a Day. When I was growing up, it always seemed like TV had hit rock bottom. There's just always good shows and bad shows, and the bad shows make you think the world is coming to an end.
Has MTV given you guff for taking swipes at the network that's signing your checks?
MTV has always been really good about making fun of itself. Also, Beavis and Butt-Head got them some great ratings for a long time. We did run into some problems with clearance stuff with some of the producers of those [reality] shows. People involved with those shows weren't happy about it.
In the '90s, critics said Beavis and Butt-Head influenced kids to be violent and stupid, but you've said, "It's a show about stupid people, it's not a stupid show." Why do you think that criticism had such a hold at that time?
It was just a very trendy thing at the time, blaming TV for everything. It seems to go in cycles. In the late '50s, they were blaming comic books for juvenile delinquency. Beavis and Butt-Head was on cable TV. I mean, you have to get it installed, you have to meet the cable guy between 9 and 5, and then to blame MTV—to me it's like leaving a porno magazine on your coffee table and then complaining to the publisher that your kid saw porno. It's kind of absurd to me that anyone would blame TV, and yet it was all the way up into the Presidential debates and Senate floor.
I read that your friends compare you to Hank Hill. Is he the character you see yourself in?
I'd say that one or the main guy in Office Space. Beavis and Butt-Head are in there, too.
Talking to you now—you have Hank's stop-and-start rhythm.
Oh, really? [Laughs] My voice sounds closest to Butt-Head, I guess. I never thought about that, but yeah, the rhythm is probably closest to Hank.
You're fascinated with stupid people.
Yeah. [Laughs]
Where does that come from?
Um, maybe growing up in Albuquerque. [Laughs] It's everywhere, though. I just remember being in junior high and there were people who literally could not read. And the grading system, instead of going from D to F, they had a thing that was called E, which was minimum passing. I think they created that so that these scary gang members, they could shuffle 'em on through till they could drop out of high school. Getting inside of the mind of somebody stupid can be a lot harder to do.
But how do you ride the line between risking condescension toward your characters—in Idiocracy, uneducated people having lots of kids—and having real affection for them, which you do with someone like Boomhauer?
I do tend to like dumb-dumbs, and I feel like a dumb-ass myself a lot of the time. I tend to not like to hang around a bunch of intellectuals that much.
Is that why you live in Texas?
[Laughs] Oh, there's plenty of them there, you just gotta run in the right circles.… On King of the Hill, it was always very obvious to me when, okay, you're now making fun of somebody who didn't go to college or you're making fun of this as opposed to laughing at it as somebody who's in that world, and I think that's where you draw the line.
The new series has your name in the title. How'd you negotiate that?
My lawyer just said, "Do you want me to ask them to call it Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head?" And I thought that sounds a little too egotistical. But when this started out, it was just me in my house animating these shorts. And when I sold it to them, they changed it to MTV's Beavis and Butt-Head, and I was kind of thinking, Really? You gotta really rub it in like that? If it's a choice, I'm gonna take Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head.
Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head premieres October 27 at 9pm on MTV.

7 April, 2011: A staccato thump of rotors; a chopper appears over third base and lights on the shortstop's deep infield. Looked over my shoulders for Navy Seals streaming from the upper concourse at ONEOK Field on opening night.
The training jet flyover was great. But as a taxpayer, I wonder who pays the National Guard. Drillers ticket; fine. T. Boone; great. Taxpayers, a problem.
The president was in Washington; no rock stars in town, so the kids knew who was missing. Minutes passed, excitement died. Finally, stumbling out, what the ... Electric blue, wide flank-section and extra wide, bouncy rump roast haunches and a pea head. The new Hornsby? What happened to the snout? Who shrunk his horns?
Eventually the crowd gave it up with some applause. Everybody gets a makeover. We liked the old Oprah, but when she lost her weight she lost her reason for being. Hornsby fattens up for love?
The team won the opening game, but a youngster or two got a big surprise when a "Bust a Balloon Between Your Chests" gimmick was exploded in their faces, sending at least one child to the trainer for what looked like a bloody, busted lip. It was all fun and games, while the injured kids tried to get the attention of an attended events staffer. We haven't seen that promotion since then.
4 May: Love that new emcee. Let's call him Trip Hop Low Pants. Can't imagine the Drillers' image is enhanced by this dude. Ah, the buffoon, the court jester, maybe it's a clown oufit.

4 May: Love that new emcee. Let's call him Trip Hop Low Pants. Can't imagine the Drillers' image is enhanced by this dude. Ah, the buffoon, the court jester, maybe it's a clown oufit. Now I get it. Looks like kin to the new Hornsby.
18 May: How about that ping-pong booty shake. Gets the crowd involved from the loins down. Dude straps on a belt with box attached to the backside. Edgy emcee Low Pants keeps the dude shakin' long past the task of popping out 16 ping-pong balls. It's so funny to see someone make a fool out of himself for a burrito. Must be these tough times.
And, wonderful thing: a baseball game broke out. In spite of all the distractions, the Drillers won and are first half contenders for the first time in ages.
23 May: My 8-year-old son gets shot, point blank, by a water gun-wielding Hornsby.
The Bull by the Horns
Chuck Lamson, former owner/GM of the Tulsa Drillers, was great at PR. Not so much smarts as he knew the baseball experience. And he earned lots of paying fans. There wasn't a game you didn't see him with an old-fashioned walkie-talkie device in hand, giving directions, answering questions, solving problems and working up a sweat. It wasn't just baseball that brought people out to the ball game. He was the peanuts, popcorn and Crackerjacks of the Drillers and the reason for the team's success and current hubris at the downtown park. A blend of the old and the new. The balance was always appropriate, not too loud, not too distracting, family fun. The American Pastime.
My wife and I have three children: 15, 13 and 8. We have season tickets and go to school downtown, so what fun for Daddy to take each of them to one of the weekday games in May.
I'm a baseball fan, so I don't like the nosey camera, I don't like slow concessions, and I have never liked mascots or clowns. But over the years, I checked my grumblings in awe of our children's inexplicable love of Hornsby, our children won me over and I became a Hornsby fan, totally. Let my guard down, trusting. My eye became childlike in search of this Drillers ambassador to my children. I'd point him out, and about the same time he was coming over to say hi to the kids.
Hornsby has never been hard to spy, nor has he had trouble catching the eye of adoring children. Except for this year. It may be the hip-hop routine; it may be the attitude, it may be the suit, it may be the contract. He works the crowd differently. Less time with the kids; more time on working out his dance routine.
My youngest and I had a great time in spite of not catching Hornsby's attention; once, right down our aisle as my son yelled and held open arms. The ox walked right past him to a couple middle-aged yackers behind us. My son looked at me in bewilderment.
As the game got better, my little guy got more tired and was ready to go. At the concourse, who did I spy but the blue dude himself. Hey, John Paul, there he is. What great timing we have. Let's go say hi! He did, to no effect. He tried again, and no response. Hornsby was deep in rap with some of his adult fans, whom I could tell, could care less for his presence.
I said, "Hornsby, there is a little guy looking for you!" Again, Hornsby, this time with an elbow to his haunches, "one of your greatest fans is right behind you!"
At that, the bull turns, produces a high-powered water pistol, and squirts my little guy once, twice, three times in the chest, from about a foot away.
For a second I was stunned. My son, in shock for a moment, wrenched up his face and began to sob. I didn't know whether to pummel the blue oaf or scoop up my son and never return. But Guest Services was a few steps away, so I grabbed my little guy's hand and we strode that direction.
Hornsby followed behind and was mooing something about not meaning to hurt him.
Guest Services personnel must have seen it coming and immediately knew what to do. One staffer rounded up a T-shirt in trade for his wet school uniform as the other said he would get Hornsby to take his hood off and apologize, but we had to go into the stairwell for the unmasking.
When the hood came off the blathering excuses began and we heard everything but an apology. At last I told Hornsby to look at my son, to tell him you are sorry and that this will never happen again.
Then we went home. I delivered our son to his mom and brother and sister, and went back to the office to call Drillers' brass.
We've been fans too long to let an incident, even something as shocking as this, sour our love for the game. I talked to management in two sessions over the course of a week and I am satisfied by the leadership making amends, apologizing again for their stray bull. I asked for one thing, however, that they said they couldn't do.
The insides of this new character apparently is the result of a nationwide search. The actor is said to be an up and comer and won't stop until he has a major league gig. Drillers' brass said they can't afford to fire him.
However, they conceded mine has not been the only complaint. They reiterated that what I told them would have impact in how Hornsby interacts with the crowd and would not be without his "handler" from now on.
In the meantime, be on the lookout for a tamer, but still uncertain bull. It might be time for open carry of water pistols.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/2...484/1127/rss13One game after Pistons coach Lawrence Frank blasted his team in Orlando, the Pistons (22-36) played the part of the Harlem Globetrotters to the Bobcats' Washington Generals, winning 109-85 Thursday night at Time Warner Cable Arena.
The Pistons' frontcourt ruled with Jason Maxiell's perfect night and Greg Monroe breaking from his previous lethargy in a big way. Maxiell made all eight of his field goals, jump-starting the Pistons in the first quarter with 10 on his way to 17 points and five rebounds.
Monroe had 25 points and 11 rebounds, even dunking on the Bobcats' Byron Mullens and uncharacteristically yelling afterward. The usually ground-bound center even caught an alley-oop for a dunk, something he has done a handful of times this season.
In a stark contrast to Monday's loss, where the Pistons trailed by 30 in the third quarter, they led the hapless Bobcats (7-50) by 30. After a four-point spread in the first quarter, the Pistons outscored the Bobcats, 70-44, in the next two quarters, shooting more than 52 percent from the field.
It signified the ultimate reversal; in the way the Pistons have been manhandled at times this year by athletic teams with quickness and length, they did the exact same thing to the league's worst team.
Alley-oops were abundant, along with laughs, "oohs" and "aahs" from the bench. The Bobcats faithful, perhaps having seen this movie so often, didn't even muster the energy to boo.
In effect, the Bobcats showed the smattering of fans who want them to tank exactly how bad they'd have to try to be in order to have the most ping-pong balls in next month's draft lottery, in the hope of snagging Kentucky's Anthony Davis.
But even Davis, viewed upon by observers as a franchise changer, doesn't look like he can help this bunch. If this were an 82-game season, the Bobcats could've challenged the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers for the NBA's all-time worst record (9-73).
Pistons guard Brandon Knight thoroughly outplayed fellow rookie Kemba Walker. In fact, Knight's 17 third-quarter points nearly outscored the entire Bobcats' output (22). He finished with an excellent all-around game, with 21 points and seven assists, making three of his four three-point attempts.

All across the United States people of all ages are making a choice to live together in a long-term, committed relationship. Some simply call it "living together." Some call it "cohabiting." Lately the term "domestic partnership" has become more popular particularly in same-sex relationships.
For all intents and purposes, many of these cohabiting couples, whether heterosexual or same-sex, act like a married couple. They share bank accounts. They buy property together. They make major decisions together. They may even be raising children together.
However, technically they are not married because they haven't had the official marriage ceremony.
There is a common belief that if you live together for 7 years, then you are married by "common law." This is simply not accurate. Only a few states recognize "common law marriage. And, Massachusetts is not one of them. (The closest state to us that does is Rhode Island).
In states that do recognize the doctrine, there are generally 3 elements to determine that a couple is in a common law marriage: 1) that the couple has agreed that they are "married," 2) that they live together, and 3) that they hold themselves out to the community as being married. When a couple "holds themselves out" as being married, they are telling the world through their conduct that they are married. So, just "living together" is usually not enough to create a common law marriage; the couple must do something to "tell the world" that they are married.
Even though they haven't obtained a marriage license, they are considered married in the eyes of that state's law. So, they must play by all the rules of "regular" married people. If they end the relationship they must get a divorce through a formal divorce proceeding and their property is subject to division. But, they also enjoy the benefits of "regular" married people too. In some states, both parties of the common law marriage have a say when it comes to the other person. If one gets into an accident and is disabled, the other can be at the hospital as a "family member."
If the couple lives together in a common law marriage state and they don't want their relationship to become a common law marriage, then they must be clear that their intent is that the relationship not become a common law marriage. It is recommended in that situation that the couple put their intentions in writing so that there is no question about their intent. (i.e., give an example of the type of writing that might be used – i.e., John Smith and Jane Jones hereby agree as follows: that they have been and plan to continue to live together as two free, independent adults and that neither has never intended to enter into any form of marriage, common law or otherwise.")
If you live in a state like Massachusetts that does not recognize the doctrine of common law marriage, then there is no way to form a common law marriage no matter how long you live with your partner or how you hold yourselves out to the community (i.e., you refer to yourselves as husband and wife to everyone in your community even though you haven't legally married in a formal ceremony with a license). If that couple breaks up, they aren't married by common law, it's as simple as that.
By whatever term you may use to describe these living arrangements – 'living together," "cohabiting," or "domestic partnership" there are many different legal areas, some rather serious, that impact the couple: child custody, insurance, property ownership, and estate planning just to name a few. In coming blog posts, I'll address some of these legal issues.
Attorney Andrew Garcia brings more than 20 years of experience to the SouthCoast, developing comprehensive estate plans for traditional families, couples in second marriages, blended families, domestic partners and cohabiting couples. He's also practiced class action and consumer law in both state and federal district courts across the country and has appeared as a consumer advocate. He's appeared on NBC's "Today Show" and FOX Network's "Fox & Friends" morning program. Andrew's popular audio cd seminar, "Choosing a Guardian for Your Minor Children" has helped local families make better decisions about choosing a guardian for their kids. As an adjunct professor at his alma mater, Suffolk University School of Law in Boston, he helps prepare students to run their own law practices after they've graduated from law school.
A life-long resident of the SouthCoast, Andrew currently lives in East Freetown with his loving partner, Nancy, and their own blended family made up of three kids, a neighborhood "lab" named Casey, and a pet rabbit he likes to call "Clooney".

Environmental Knowledge is a Benefit
Great news – eco-minded jobseekers who are actively educating themselves in the green arena may find that they have an advantage during the selection process. "Three in four companies say environmental knowledge and training will become an increasingly important factor in their hiring decisions, according to a new survey. The survey, conducted by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), finds that most companies (65%) already consider environmental knowledge and training a plus in job applicants. The reason? Green-minded employees are more likely to come up with the resource-saving solutions that can also help cut costs." Read more: http://www.sustainablelifemedia.com/content/story/strategy/green_know_how_gives_job_seekers_a_leg_up
It may not be just those who have an advanced degree in a specific environmental field who are seen as valuable. Self-education through books, seminars, trade shows, certification programs, continuing education, and hands-on field experience may be weighted heavily by future employers if you can demonstrate the knowledge you've acquired.
Degrees are great but that may not be the only way to capitalize on the environmental challenges and staffing demands that employers will face as the economy emerges from the current setbacks. Jump in and learn so you can be one of the problem-solvers of tomorrow.

Does the North Korean rocket program deserve our scorn?
If it does, then all socialized and nationalized programs do.
Since the advent of rocketry as an amateur industry, hundreds of technicians and researchers have died trying to vault the political class – and their apparatchiks – of the US, Russia and others into orbit. The US Space Shuttle program blew up 14 astronauts. Four Soviet cosmonauts died due to a parachute malfunction and being exposed to the vacuum of space. During the 1960′s, ten more astronauts and cosmonauts died while training on the ground. And while I doubt even the most aggressive ambulance chasers would ever bring "involuntary manslaughter" lawsuits against these states this relatively small list of fatalities also shrouds the unseen, the enormous financial money pits that these programs amounted to.
The fact of the matter is, all national space programs amount to little more than face-projects that divert and misallocate productive capital. They look grand with chemical jazz hands and glittery sequins but accomplish little in the way of tangible, practical results. And even if they successfully conquered the final frontier, the Arachnids, Romulans or the green-men on Mars they did so with stolen booty from productive members of society. The ends do not justify the means.
Evangelists and popularizers like Phil Plait and Neil DeGrasse Tyson weep and moan over the defunding of NASA. Yet if success is measured by liberty, justice and profit, it is high time to give taxpayers their money back. If we were to inspire the next generation of youngins, why teach them to rob Peter the taxpayer to pay Paul the engineer? Instead, cut the umbilical from the Cape — privatize NASA's assets and let private enterprises like SpaceX, Virgin Galactic and Scaled Composites try to eke out an existence without state largess. And at the end of the day if you cannot afford to take those journeys, why steal ducats from the rest of us that would rather save the money for our own purposes? That doesn't sound like a fair deal for the 99% of us that are coerced to subsidize human exploration for the 1%. Yea, I just went there.
Not that it should matter but to preempt ad hominem I will point out that I heart cosmology. In fact, when I was recovering from my horrible Chinese gastroparesis last fall, I spent hours watching the series How the Universe Works. My favorite app on my phone is the vertigo-inducing constellations-through-the-floor from Google Sky. Many moons ago I even did my senior thesis on the X-15, the Air Force and NASA. Yet as both an exploration aficionado and free-market minded curmudgeon, there is no wiggle room for socialism in any industry, even if it provides voice over and narration opportunities for fancy pants officers from La Barre.
The Norks purportedly spent $850 million on their latest flaming piñata an amount that could reportedly feed 80% of its malnourished population with food for a year. And while fortunately no one (that we know of) was vaporizedover the East China sea, the Kim regime is arguably receiving a disproportionate amount of negative flack from all corners of the interwebs. It is not like the development of Redstone and Vostok were exactly flawless or cheap either…
What the North Korean space program really suffers from is that of PR. If only they had a friendly face like that of Tom Hanks to celebrate a total an utter failure, no one would be mocking them. Apollo 13 was a disaster at every level yet the spin doctors at NASA and at the White House turned the propaganda dial to eleven and managed to snooker three generations into believing that socialized space exploration should be endured. They managed to go above and beyond anything that the recruiting videos… err "movies" Top Gun or Act of Valor did for the US Navy and created a program whose legacy that remains seemingly untouchable. After all, everyone is an apologist for it, even Ayn Rand (who called Apollo 11 "a symbol of man's greatness")!
Despite cries from chicken little's, aviation innovation did not stop with the ending of Apollo (which cost approximately $170 billion). Aviation innovation did not stop with the ending of the Shuttle program (which also cost about $170 billion). And aviation innovation will not stop when NASA loses funding for yet another albatross (all eyes on Orion). In fact, it will arguably free up a savings pool that is tied up in treasury bonds used to finance the current deficit. Or as Andrew Beal explained more than a decade ago, socialized space flight crowds out the market for private endeavors, like space hotels. After all, why risk and invest in a private program when the unwitting public already foots the bills for multiple government projects?
Nobody knows what the opportunity costs were and alternative histories that diverged due to state monopolization of aeronautical resources and human capital. So here's to hoping that socialized space exploration goes the way of the dodo sooner rather than later. Or as a bumper sticker could say: stop subsidizing space piñatas.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to dip into purse accounts to take $1.5 million to $2 million per year for equine safety programs at the state's racetracks. But Assemblyman Gary Pretlow, a Westchester County Democrat who heads the Assembly Racing Committee, said he is concerned about chatter that the New York Racing Association, which has been taken over by a board dominated by Cuomo appointees during a three-year state control period over the private racing company, is considering going to an artificial track surface.

CJl« maroon Vol. 60, No. 25 Loyola University, New Orleans April 23, 1982 Candidates face issues in debate By David J. Sherwin Maroon News Editor Student rights and the areas in which the Student Government Association needs to improve in order to advocate those rights were discussed Tuesday in the second SGA presidential debate. The debate was held in the Danna Center Lounge. Presidential candidate Peter J. Couste' 111 said the student government's initial problem in the area of rights is that it does not communicate with the "students or the administration."Martin Cunniff, the other candidate, vowed to institute identity, credibility and continuity, which he feels are three "general areas the SGA needs to improve in." "I feel I am one of the represented who is not represented," Couste' said during his opening statement. Couste' added that the SGA must not wait three months before taking action on an issue. Referring to communication as an effective mode of representation he said, "I'm not talking about having communication that's going.to tell us what the SGA just did, but what is about to happen. Then we can get student input." Cunniff said student rights come under his plan for identity. "I will protect student rights through investigating affairs that affect you, enunciating policies you want shown to the administration and by communicating your views and the views of the administration so that somehow we can reach a compromise." Couste' said, "My opponent addressesaddresses the issues but offers no solutions. I plan on making sure those student representatives on the major university committees report back to theSGA regularly." He added that his experience in dealing with the administration as a student administrative assistant [theater business manager within the department of drama and speech) has i i ii := —mmmmmm Student government presidential candidates Cunniff and Couste' wait for Tuesday's debates to start in the Danna Center Lounge. Voting will take place Monday and Tuesday in front of the Danna Center. —Photo by David Roudreaux Lease and zoning causes complications over Kenner land for Loyola and TEOG By Mike Tiffl Maroon Assislanl News hdilor Plans to drill for oil on the Loyolaowned Kenner tract remain stalled because of land rezoning complications and disagreement on lease terms between Loyola and Texas Energy Oil and Gas Corporation. The city of Kenner has not yet rezoned the planned drilling site for industrial use and the original lease between Loyola and TEOG has expired. Rezoning and renewal of the lease is necessary for the oil company to proceed with plans. "We haven't got the full go-ahead from Kenner," said Phillip Beron, vice president of TEOG, "but we plan to start drilling in July." According to Royce K. Waters, Kenner director of public works, "It [the potential drilling site] has to be rezoned to heavy industrial from single family residential, one of the lowest zonings in the city. They have two chances of getting that done, slim and none." Beron said that he forsees no problems with Kenner over the rezoning of the land and said that "My only problem is with Loyola — otherwise everything is going well." Beron says that the original lease between Loyola and TEOG provided for a three year renewal option if TEOG's operations on the site did not interfere with Loyola plans for other developments on the Kenner tract. "The first six month period ended in March. We told Loyola that we'll start drilling in the next three months, and we want to continue," Beron said. "Loyola told us, 'We're trying to make a deal with a developer.' I said 'Well let me know if I can continue.' They now want $150,000 for an extension." Joan Tolhurst, director of University Relations, said she knew of no new development plans for the Kenner tract. Beron continued, "I called the business manager [John Eckholdt, vice-president for Business and Finance] and he won't return my calls. He's dodging the question." In a prepared statement for The Maroon, Eckholdt said, "Loyola University has fullfilled all requirements of the terms under the original agreement with Texas Energy Oil and Gas Corporation. If Texas Energy wishes to enter into a new agreement, those terms will have to be re-negotiated." "I'm an old Jesuit boy and 1 wasn't taught that kind of thing," Beron said. According to Loyola, an 18-month lease with an option for a three-year renewal expired in September of 1981. "It's a minor problem," Beron said. "My lawyers and their lawyers are now talking about it and wasting our money." TEOG has been plagued with problems in trying to drill for oil on the site. The agreement between Loyola and TEOG was signed in March of 1980. Since then, TEOG has battled unsuccessfully to have Kenner rezone the land for drilling and has dealt with area residents' objections to drilling on the site. Though the land has yet to be rezoned, Beron said problems with area residents have been worked out. "There are no mumbles from the people I've talked to," Beron said. "Everybody is enthusiastic." Dr. C. M. Scully, president of the Woodlake Estates Civic Association, said, "We haven't heard a thing about it in about six months. As far as I'm concerned it's a dead issue. Some of the residents have signed [mineral rights leases] and some haven't. It's kind of split two ways with what the people think." Woodlake Estates adjoins the Kenner tract. PKT finds support in the SGA By Jan Gbur Maroon University Reporter The Student Government Association passed an almost unanimous resolution Tuesday upholding the right of Pi Kappa Theta social fraternity to remain a chartered university organization and be placed on probation rather than complete revocation. However, Vincent P. Knipfing, vice president for Student Affairs, is disappointed with this resolution. "When they do their homework and learn the facts, then they have the right to voice their opinion. When they don't know the facts the resolution is rather hollow," he said. SGA President Ivan Ransopher said, "The fraternity is getting support from all angles; the bill is another endorsement." The committee set out to investigate both sides of the issue, Knipfing's and PKT's, so it could represent student opinion, Ransopher said. The SGA ad hoc committee to investigate PKT's charter revocation consisted of five congress members and five students at large, six of whom are members of the Greek system. Knipfing is discontented with the committee because they wrote the resolution prior to consulting him. He sent a letter to the SGA expressing his objections over the resolution. Knipfing said in a later interview, "I don't want to talk to a group that already made a decision. I stand, and still do, to talk to an objective group, they never sent anyone." Manny Cunard, adviser to the Inter- Fraternity Council, feels the SGA did not consult all sides in the decision making process. "I am not in favor of any resolution that is not based on proper investigation," he said. Knipfing finds that PKT is "hung up on two false issues." He said the first issue is that he didn't put the group on probation. "They have been [on probation] in the past. There is no requirement that they be put on probation," he said. Knipfing said the second issue is that he "consulted no student opinion. "What I did was in accordance with the student handbook and the Office of Student Affairs. It [involving students] was inappropriate in this case . . . . " PKT will meet Wednesday with the Rev. James Carter, S.J., president of Loyola, to appeal the revocation decision. "We will present our case and show cause why we were treated unfairly by having our charter revoked, and that more fairly, we should be on probation," said Mike Lawlor, former PKT president.

Okay, look, I'm still not over the Steam ripoff thing. (Although, with a cousin in London, I did find a way around it for long enough to buy L4D2.) In addition to Civ 5 (50 USD vs 80 USD) there have been a series of sales this week for EA titles which have (ignoring the ridiculousness of additional publisher-based DRM in a Steam title) been spectacularly offensive.
Take Sunday's sale of Dragon Age: Origins. The 40% off "discount" price in Australia is 40% off the frankly absurd 70 USD so it's 46.89 USD. Hardly a bargain. The standard, non-sale US price is 39.99 USD, so our "40% off" price is still significantly more than the US standard price – let alone the UK sale price of 13.39 pounds, which works out at 19.82 USD, somewhat less than HALF the Australian "discount" price.
For a digital download that is in all respects identical.
I get that publishers have to add GST to games sold in Australia, but the 10% GST is 10% – considerably less than 110%, being ten percent and not one hundred and ten percent. It's not much of an excuse for the markups they're imposing, is my point.
And that's not even the worst example – according to the steamprices.com top ripoffs page, Steam charges USD 20 for Red Faction Guerilla in the US, but to those stuck behind an Australian IP it charges USD… prepare yourself… are you sitting comfortably? Good, then I will continue… USD 70. (That probably needs to be in a bigger font.) Yup, a markup of 350%. I mean, you've almost got to admire the sheer gall of THQ, don't you? That kind of ripoff is a thing of such spectacular shamelessness that it's almost thrilling. I'm not going to buy their game, but I might come back and admire its monstrous pricing structure next time I need an emotional shock.
Also, unbelievable regional pricing aside, there's the issue of the ever more stupid delays in game releases here, highlighted by – who else – Nintendo Australia's treatment of its flagship titles. Like Super Mario Galaxy 2, which won't be out here till July. Despite having been released overseas a month ago.
My question is: what the hell is the point of Australian distributors, and why wouldn't we all be better off if they just disappeared and the big retailers imported directly from overseas?
Feel free to share the examples of us being ripped off and screwed over that have really gotten your metaphorical goat.

City of Derry Jazz Festival hailed a major success
The final notes sounded yesterday (Monday, 6th May) on the 12th City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival, bringing to a close what was undoubtedly the biggest and best musical extravaganza to date. Over 35,000 music lovers took to the streets in pursuit of the perfect medley of music on the Guinness Jazz Trail, which this year featured over 80 venues and over 200 musicians. Bars, hotels and restaurants were packed to the rafters over the course of the five day event, as people flocked to enjoy the huge selection of entertainment on offer - 90% of which was free thanks to the support of sponsors Diageo. Speaking afterwards the Mayor, Kevin Campbell, said the festival was just the first highlight in an amazing line up of events in the city's summer cultural programme.
"I'm thrilled at how well the Festival went this year," he said. "The feedback so far has been phenomenal, and it all went just as well as we had expected. Of course we have a whole host of events coming up over the next few months as part of the City of Culture programme, from One Big Weekend to the Fleadh Cheoil. And if we use this as an indicator of the level of interest in all that's going on Derry, then we're looking at an extremely exciting summer.
"Once again Derry people came out in their droves to support the festival, and we had a huge influx of visitors here to enjoy what has to be the city's favourite entertainment event. I must thank all who were involved in making this happen, once again we were treated to an outstanding programme featuring some of the finest talent around. "
The line-up featured a diversity of talent with The Overtones, Beverley Craven, The Soul Rebels, Dana Masters and The Puppini Sisters among some of the big names who had people on their feet for five days of dancing and fun.
The event was organised by Derry City Council in conjunction with Diageo, and speaking on behalf of Diageo NI, Barney McCann said: "The festival has been a resounding success, and the atmosphere throughout the city has been unbelievable over the past few days. We've a had a long association with the festival, which has such an impact on the local economy, and which always kicks of the summer season for local vintners. "Congratulations to all those involved, and a big thank you to everyone who came along and lent their support to such an important local cultural event."
The City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival is arranged for you by Derry City Council in association with the UK City of Culture 2013 team, with funding from Diageo and support from NITB and Airporter.

My experience with Jean Buscail and team over the years has been "formidable." Friends from Texas returned this year, sure to stop by and see old friends.

Live Oak — The body of a Suwannee County man was discovered Sunday evening in his 127th Place home, where he lived with his mother, Suwannee County Sheriff Tony Cameron confirmed during an interview on Monday.
According to Cameron, Charles David Napier, 49, 6074 127th Place, Live Oak, was a victim of multiple gunshot wounds.
"It appears that Charles David Napier is a victim of homicide," Cameron said.
Cameron added that Napier's mother and other family members were out of town and that Napier had been cooking at the time of his death.
"There were no signs of forced entry," Cameron said. He added that he is unaware of anything taken from the home.
The SCSO received the call at 7:12 p.m. Sunday evening from Napier's sister after the family returned from the trip.
"When deputies arrived they immediately called investigators," Cameron stated.
According to Cameron, FDLE also arrived Sunday evening and processed the scene. Napier's body was sent to the medical examiner's office for an autopsy.
"The Suwannee County Sheriff's Office is following leads at this time," Cameron commented. "We are unsure of the time, but believe this happened Saturday."
Cameron would not say what part of the home the body was found in nor how many times Napier was shot.
There have been no suspects named at this time and Cameron asks anyone who might have seen or heard from Napier, who was a local hairdresser, after 10 a.m., April 28, to please contact Jeff Cameron or Chris Fry at the SCSO. They can be reached at 386-362-2222.
