Thread: IGN's Top 100 Modern Games
Threaded View
IGN's Top 100 Modern Games
I thought about appending this to my 'best years in gaming' thread for reasons that will soon become clear, but ultimately decided against it.
So IGN has put together a list of what it deems to be the Top 100 Modern Video Games. It's a fun read as such things always are, with opportunities for gamers of all stripes to cheer (save perhaps Wizardry) and roll their eyes. To save you the hassle, here's the Top 10:
10. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
9. Batman: Arkham Asylum
8. Assassin's Creed II
7. Uncharted II: Among Thieves
6. Fallout 3
5. Portal 2
4. Super Mario Galaxy 2
3. Red Dead Redemption
2. Bioshock
1. Mass Effect 2
Their (unstated) criteria for what qualifies as a modern game is kinda interesting. It includes DS/PSP/PC titles from 2005 and beyond, but not titles from the same period that debuted on PS2 or GCN such as Shadows of the Colossus, Resident Evil 4 and Okami.
Of course such lists are not to be taken too seriously in any case... and yet I did, collating data by platform and year hoping to discern some kind of pattern applicable to discussions in my aforementioned earlier thread concerning more recent years in gaming. Alas, that turned out to be a dead end, in part because a list of 100 games covering only 6 years is enough that second-rate titles are getting through and mushing the data. There's a general trend of more titles the closer one is to the present - a full quarter of the list comes from 2010 - but the utility of that is marginal as one of IGN's practices for the list is to include only a single title from any given franchise, which means sequels (which are of course more recent than the games they're derived from) often - but not always - have the edge.
So: Blech. But the platform side of things is marginally more interesting. In this age of multiplatform releases, it was surprising to find that fully half of the list was compromised of titles exclusive to various systems, and that's ignoring the fact that a number of titles I marked down as 'multiplatform' - such as Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker - only became so years after the initial release. In any case, here's the breakdown by platform: number of titles from the top 100 available to the system first, number and list of exclusives second.
Exclusives - 8 (Halo Reach, Forza 3, Shadow Complex, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, Dead Rising, Alan Wake, Fable II, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, 'Splosion Man)
Exclusives - 9 (Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, LittleBigPlanet 2, Infamous 2, God of War 3, Flower, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Demon's Souls)
Exclusives - 8 (Starcraft II, Civilization IV, World of Warcraft, Company of Heroes, Dawn of War II, Shogun 2, Crysis, League of Legends)
Exclusives - 12 (New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart DS, Tetris DS, Professor Layton, Pokemon: Black & White, Advance Wars: Dual Strike, Picross DS, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, The World Ends with You, Brain Age, Elite Beat Agents, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow)
Wii - 17
Exclusives - 8 (Mario Galaxy 2, Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario, Wii Sports Resort, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Epic Yarn)
Exclusives - 1 (Valkyria Chronicles II)
Exclusives: None.
There were three titles on the list exclusive to other platforms (i.e. iOS, etc.): Cut the Rope, Tiny Wings, Superbrothers: Sword and Sorcery EP.
Make of all that what you will. There are various other points of interest and caveats I could raise at this juncture, but I think I've already spent far too much time on all this.Last edited by Rii; 02-07-2011 at 12:29 PM.

A housewife with little knowledge of horse-racing fosters one of the greatest race horses of all time as the story of the 1973 Triple Crown winner comes to the screen in this inspirational underdog drama based on the novel Secretariat: The Making of a Champion by William Nack and starring Diane Lane and John Malkovich. Penny Chenery (Lane) is a devoted mother and housewife whose ailing father is the proprietor of Meadow Stables in Virginia. When her father becomes too ill to tend to his horses, Penny agrees to take over the stables despite her inexperience. Desperate, she turns to veteran horse trainer Lucien Laurin (Malkovich) to help show her the ropes. Up to this point, horse racing has been a decidedly male-dominated sport. But with Lucien's help, Penny prepares to prove that gender has no bearing on one's ability to breed a fast race horse. As Secretariat blasts out of the gates to leave his competition in the dust, the whole world watches in amazement, and a legend is born. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Titanic shipmates Kathy Bates, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Kate Winslet step onboard for director Sam Mendes' tale of suburban malaise in 1950s-era Connecticut. Adapted from the classic 1961 novel by author Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road tells the tale of a young Connecticut couple whose once-idealistic relationship steadily deteriorates into a ceaseless cycle of petty jealousy and bickering as they strive to retain their independence in the conformity-obsessed world of picket fences and perfectly manicured lawns. Ever since they first met, Frank (DiCaprio) and April (Winslet) saw themselves as special and different. They strive to form their relationship around higher ideals, though upon moving into their new home on Revolutionary Road, the defiant couple pledges never to be confined by the social conventions of the era. As time passes, however, Frank and April gradually become the very thing that they both feared most -- a typical suburban family complete with abandoned dreams and faded hopes. Frank loses his nerve after taking a comfortable job with a reliable salary, and April morphs into an unsatisfied homemaker desperate for passion and excitement. But April's independent spirit hasn't been suffocated just yet, and when she hatches a plan to head for Paris, her need to escape at all costs stands in direct contrast to Frank's desire to hold on to what they already have. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Three friends are reunited as their lives become increasingly desperate and dysfunctional in this independent drama. Bill (Dylan Baker) is a lonely middle-aged man who works as a night janitor in a large office building; he keeps himself company at work by listening to opera, and as he tries to sleep through the day he obsessively listens to a self-help tape that teaches "lucid dreaming." One of the men working Bill's building is Gary (Timothy Hutton), who has a habit of falling asleep at his desk rather than go home to deal with his loveless marriage to Karen (Sharon Stone), who is convinced she's losing her looks and turns to shoplifting for comfort. Even though Gary bullied Bill when they were in high school together, when they meet by chance at the office one night Gary is thrilled to see him, and suggests they get together with another fellow classmate, Travis (Pruitt Taylor Vince). However, as they spend time together, the three men are only reminded of their emotional isolation, and how their lives have not turned out as they dreamed. When A Man Falls In The Forest was produced in part by co-star Sharon Stone; the film received its American premiere at the 2007 South By Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Director Kari Skogland takes the reins for a Buffalo Gals Pictures production starring Academy Award winner Ellen Burstyn as author Margaret Laurence's much-lauded heroine Hagar Shipley. Hagar may by 90, but she not ready to lie down and die just yet. Her decisions stem straight from her heart, and that often alienates her family and friends. When Hagar's son, Marvin (Dylan Baker), takes his mother to look at a nursing home, she takes it as her cue to leave her family behind and set out on one great last journey. Her mission is to locate the seaside home she remembers from her youth, but Hagar's memory is quickly fading, making it difficult for her to distinguish the past from the present. As a young girl, Hagar was set to inherit her father's mercantile empire until she was disowned for marrying a bold young man named Bram Shipley (Cole Hauser). Later, when Hagar's romantic illusions fade and she begins to view her husband with contempt, her decision to deny her children the kind of parental approval that she so badly longed for from her own father provokes a deep hereditary flaw. As she makes her way toward the seashore, Hagar realizes her time is running far too short to make up for a lifetime of unacknowledged mistakes. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Drive [TV Series]
An amalgam of Death Race 2000 and Lost with CGI effects thrown in, the quasi-fantasy action series Drive centered around a strange, exclusive, strictly secret and highly illegal cross-country race, wherein the contestants were all but shanghaied into participating for a winning purse of $32,000,000--assuming they lived that long. The first contestant was Alex (Nathan Fillion), who was desperately searching for his missing wife. A mystical race promoter named Mr. Bright (Charles Martin Smith) lured Alex to Florida by implying that he'd never see his wife again unless he agreed to become a driver. Alex was then teamed with wild blonde Kristin (Corinna Wiles), who acted as if she knew what it was all about. In truth, NO one knew what it was all about--not the woman just released from a hospital, nor the two siblings who were driving a "cursed" Cadillac, nor the paroled criminal, nor the Iraq veteran and his girlfriend, nor the scientist and his teenaged daughter. Though everyone knew that the race began in Florida, none of the racers had the slightest idea where it was headed, nor the remotest clue as to the location of the finish line. And how about the fact that none of the vehicles were actually sports cars? Only one thing was certain: Those who lost the race faced the direst of consequences. As was often the cast in enigmatic exercises of this nature, the course of the race and the backstories of the contestants were revealed bit by bit, episode by episode, on a need-to-know basis. Drive first parked itself on the Fox network on April 15, 2007. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Your friendly neighborhood web-slinger is back, only this time his sunny outlook has become partially overcast in the third chapter of director Sam Raimi's Spider-Man saga. Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco return to reprise their roles from the previous two installments, with Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace, and Bryce Dallas Howard making their first appearances in the series as Flint Marko (aka Sandman), Eddie Brock (aka Venom), and Gwen Stacy, respectively. Peter Parker (Maguire) has finally leaned to walk the middle ground between being the superhero that his city needs and the man that Mary Jane (Dunst) loves. All is well in New York City until one night, as Peter and M.J. sit gazing at the stars, a falling comet streams across the sky and crashes into the ground close by. But this isn't any ordinary shooting star, and upon impact the mysterious space rock is split open to reveal a shape-shifting symbiote with the power to overtake anything that it comes into contact with. Later, as Harry Osborn (James Franco) acquires his late father's flying board, engineers a powerful new Goblin outfit, and takes to the sky to avenge dad's death, the mysterious space sludge infects both Peter's Spider-Man suit and ambitious street photographer Eddie Brock (Grace). Peter's strange new suit gives him a newfound sense of power as it gradually overpowers his personality, and he discovers that escaped convict Flint Marko was in fact the man responsible for the death of Uncle Ben (Cliff Robertson). Unfortunately for Peter, Marko has recently acquired the power to morph at will and quickly completes his transformation into the dreaded Sandman. As the Sandman gives in to his darkest criminal instincts and the slithering space symbiote transforms Eddie Brock into the nightmarish fanged villain known as Venom, the citizens of New York City must once again call on Spider-Man to fend off destructive forces that are far too powerful for the likes of mortal man. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In a 1950s-era alternate universe where domesticated zombies play a functional role in society by delivering the milk, carrying the mail, and even helping out with household chores, one boy is about to find out just how big of a personal responsibility "pet" ownership truly is. When the Earth passed through a cloud of space dust and the dead arose from their graves to devour the flesh of the living, it first seemed that all hope for humanity was lost. Society's rapid slide into chaos, however, was soon halted when scientists at a company called ZomCom created a special collar that turned the rampaging animated corpses docile. Now, thanks to ZomCom, everything is under control -- or is it? Timmy Robinson (K'Sun Ray) isn't quite convinced. Quiet and withdrawn, the skeptical young boy spends so much time locked away in his room that he's almost become invisible around the household. His mother Helen (Carrie-Anne Moss) has recently purchased a zombie to help keep things tidy around the house though, and when the creature attempts to engage the curious youngster in a game of catch, a friendship is forged between boy and zombie that finds the amiable gut-muncher nicknamed Fido (Billy Connolly) practically becoming a part of the family. Things take a turn for the worse however, when Fido's collar malfunctions and Timmy's neighbors begin dying in droves. When ZomCom's top zombie control specialist Mr. Bottoms (Henry Czerny) moves in across the street from Timmy, the increasingly complicated situation threatens to place a serious stumbling block in the path of human-zombie relations. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

On the streets of New York City, where the fine line between the desperate and the successful can be decidedly blurred, a homeless man and a struggling band are about to find out the difference that a stranger can make in one's life under the right circumstances. Inspired by actual events in the life of sage sidewalk sleeper Harold "Chopper" Jones, writer/director James Furino's film focus on a struggling Manhattan glam rock band who receives some career advice from a most unlikely source. When the workday is over, word processor James, college professor Parker, and research scientist Michael all take the stage to rock the city into the wee hours of the morning. But lately things haven't been going so well for the trio with high hopes of a successful musical career. Upon meeting the man they call "Chopper" things soon begin looking up, yet sometimes in the midst of things it's difficult to determine who is truly helping whom. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Add The Book of Daniel [TV Series] to top of Queue
The most controversial -- and one of the shortest-lived -- series of the 2005-2006 network season, The Book of Daniel concerned the troubled family of an Episcopalian priest. Aidan Quinn starred as Reverend Daniel Webster, who dealt with most crises by popping prescription pills and brooding over his inability to "reach" his parishioners. Daniel's wife, Judith (Susanna Thompson), spent much of her time drinking martinis and complaining about lost opportunities; his 23-year-old son, Peter (Christian Campbell), was a neurotic homosexual, still plagued by guilt over the death of his twin brother; 16-year-old daughter Grace (Alison Pill) was a would-be manga artist who sold marijuana on the side; and the Websters' adopted Chinese son, Adam (Ivan Shaw), was more concerned about scoring with chicks than anything else. Adding to Rev. Webster's burden was the remonstrative input of no-nonsense Bishop Beatrice Congreve (Ellen Burstyn) and rule-bound senior parish warden Roger Paxton (Dylan Baker). Whenever things became too much to bear for Rev. Webster, he would solicit the advice of his "best friend," Jesus Christ (Garret Dillahunt) -- yes,
Jesus Christ, beard, white robes, and all. It was the calculatedly irreverent portrayal of the Son of God (who trafficked in wisecracks rather than parables) that stirred up the bulk of the controversy surrounding the series. While many big-city critics liked the show, general audiences could not warm up to it at all. Debuting January 6, 2006, on NBC, The Book of Daniel had been slated for a six-week trial run before going to full series; slaughtered in the ratings and roundly condemned by conservative media commentators, it lasted only four episodes before cancellation. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A chance meeting between two middle-aged men leads one into a life of crime in this offbeat comedy. Danny Wright (Greg Kinnear) is an American businessman whose life has been going through a sour patch after he and his wife, Carolyn (Hope Davis), lost their young son. During a business trip to Mexico City, Danny strikes up a conversation in a hotel bar with fellow out-of-towner Julian Noble (Pierce Brosnan), and while Julian's loud and brassy manner initially puts Danny off, in time the two become friends, and Julian feels comfortable enough with Danny to tell him what he does for a living. It seems Julian is a hired killer working under the auspices of underworld kingpins Lovell (Dylan Baker) and Mr. Randy (Philip Baker Hall), and Julian tries to persuade Danny to help him with his latest assignment. Danny refuses, but a few months later a distraught Julian appears unannounced on Danny's doorstep. It seems Julian has blown his two most recent assignments due to a variety of psychosomatic illnesses, and now Lovell and Mr. Randy want him dead. Julian has also done something to put Danny in his debt, and the previously non-criminal businessman is forced to help his friend stage a hit, with Julian's presence in his home upsetting the precarious balance of Danny and Carolyn's marriage. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Alfred Kinsey was an entomologist who taught at Indiana University and had a keen interest in an area of human behavior that had seen little scholarly research -- human sexuality. While the courtship and reproductive patterns of animals had been carefully documented, Kinsey believed that most "established facts" about human sexual behavior were a matter of conjecture rather than research and that what most people said about their sex lives was not born out by the evidence (a subject that had personal resonance for him given the troubles he and his wife Clara Kinsey had in the early days of their marriage). After introducing a course in "Marriage" at Indiana University which offered frank and factual information on sex to students, Kinsey began an exhaustive series of interviews with a wide variety of people from all walks of life in order to find out the truth about sex practices in America. When he published Sexual Behavior and the Human Male in 1948, his findings were wildly controversial, indicating that most men had a wider variety of sexual experiences than most people imagined, including a number of practices commonly thought to be dangerous or perverted (including pre-marital sex, same-sex contacts, and masturbation). An even greater outcry greeted Kinsey's next volume, Sexual Behavior and the Human Female, which contradicted common notions than most women went into marriage sexually inexperienced. Kinsey is a film biography written and directed by Bill Condon which examines Kinsey's life and work from his strict childhood until his death in 1956. Liam Neeson plays Alfred Kinsey, and Laura Linney co-stars as Kinsey's wife and colleague Clara. John Lithgow highlights the supporting cast as Kinsey's repressed and moralistic father, while Chris O'Donnell, Peter Sarsgaard, and Timothy Hutton play members of Kinsey's research team and Tim Curry appears as an IU faculty member at odds with Kinsey's teachings. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Stan Lee's all-too-human superhero returns to the screen in this highly anticipated sequel to 2002's blockbuster hit Spider-Man. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is attempting to juggle college classes and his job as a photographer with the
Daily Bugle
while maintaining his secret life as costumed crime-fighter Spider-Man. Parker is also struggling to hold on to his relationship with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), who is beginning to enjoy success as a model and actress, and both Mary Jane and Peter have noticed he's beginning to buckle under the strain. Parker's friendship with Harry Osborn (James Franco) is also beginning to fray due to Peter's seeming alliance with Spider-Man, whom Harry blames for the death of his father, the nefarious Norman Osborn. As Parker weighs his responsibilities to himself and those around him against the obligations that come with his special powers, Spider-Man is faced with a new nemesis -- Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), a deranged scientist whose latest project has turned him into the near-invincible cyborg Doctor Octopus. Spider-Man 2 was directed by Sam Raimi, who helmed the first film, and much of the original cast has also reunited for this sequel, including Rosemary Harris, J.K. Simmons, and Bruce Campbell. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Directed by British filmmaker Clare Kilner, the script is based on two of author Sarah Dessen's popular teen novels: Someone Like You and That Summer.

Her mother, Lydia (Allison Janney), can't seem get a date, while her father (Peter Gallagher) is getting remarried to a woman that nobody seems to like. Halley's wedding-obsessed sister, Ashley (Mary Catherine Garrison), is engaged to Lewis (MacKenzie Astin), a guy that is completely wrong for her. Meanwhile, bad boy Macon Forrester (Trent Ford) won't leave Halley alone. Just when she decides to become cynical about love because of all the romantic disappointments around her, a troubled situation involving her best friend Scarlett (Alexandra Holden) changes her outlook. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Can a high-attitude African-American politician who says what he thinks stand a chance in a presidential campaign? Mays Gilliam (Chris Rock) is a straight-talking alderman representing a inner-city neighborhood in Washington, D.C. In the midst of a hard-fought race for the White House, the Democratic presidential and vice-presidential candidates are killed in an airline crash, and with little time to prepare a new campaign, the Republican candidate, Vice President Brian Lewis (Nick Searcy), seems all but guaranteed to win. With practically nothing to loose, party head Martin Geller (Dylan Baker) approaches Gilliam and asks him to stand as the Democrat's presidential candidate. While Gilliam is dubious at first, before long his streetwise style and willingness to face the issues head-on earns him surprising figures in the polls, especially after he persuades his short-fused older brother, Mitch Gilliam (Bernie Mac), to join the ticket as vice presidential candidate -- a big jump for a bail bondsman. Gilliam's love life also becomes more complicated as his ex-girlfriend Kim (Robin Givens) decides she wants him back now that he has a shot at the White House, even though Gilliam only has eyes for Lisa (Tamala Jones). Head of State marked the directorial debut for comic and actor Chris Rock, who also co-wrote and co-produced the film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Moses Mathis is no elf, but he was jolly nonetheless on Friday as his annual bicycle giveaway put nearly 1,000 children on bicycles of their own.
The new or refurbished bikes were the Bicycle Man's gifts to the community's children - kids whose families could have afforded such a grand gift without Mathis' help.
The bicycle giveaway has spanned 22 years now, hopscotching to sites all over the city. We hope this one will last, and that Mathis' health problems will mend, so the program can continue.
It makes Christmas pretty special around here. Thanks, Moses Mathis. And merry Christmas to you, too. You've earned the biggest gift of all: a city's gratitude.

Local Small Business Needs
Learning about the different local small business needs can help you to find out what is needed in order to have that small business built up successfully. There are definitely many things that you need to consider in order for your local small business to be a success. The truth is that you may not know about what is needed on your part, and simply learning about everything can help you get on the right track.
What are the main needs of a local small business?
- Project Study
Above everything else, make sure that you have good project study on what you are planning to do. If you have no idea how much the investment is going to be or if you will need to have a lot of employees, then you may end up shocked at the investment needed later on. The project study is the beginning of everything, and it is where you find out if your business idea is going to be a smart idea or not.
- Start Up Costs
Coming up with the start up costs is the very first step to seeing and noticing success. I highly recommend that you consider the different start up costs involved, like the reserving of the space, the employees, stocks of the products you plan to sell, and nearly everything that you may need. The investment is the hardest part, but if you do everything correctly, including the project study, then there is going to be a lot of success in the future, provided that you advertise your site the right way later on.
- Advertisement
Once you get everything built up, the next thing that you need to know to make the investment worth it is to advertise your business correctly and efficiently. The advertisement aspect needs to be done as best as you can. To get yourself on the right path, you need a good set of flyers, business cards, and a lot of offline promotion to get your local business going. Spread the word with many flyers being passed out on the sidewalks and the busy streets near your road.
Don't forget how important it is to have an online presence. Creating a website that talks about your business is a smart thing to invest in. Being able to market your business online is a great idea because there are so many people who may be in need of what you have to offer. There are also millions of people on these websites, so you can be sure to succeed.
Having a local small business could be a great way to make you big money; however, without doing correct project study, investing the right amount of money, and then advertising it well, you may end up with plenty of problems later on. You can easily achieve success in the future as long as you do everything as correctly as you can. Just remember that all businesses had to go through the exact strategy above, so don't feel tired about doing all of that to make your business a success.

Scientists are on the verge of answering one of the greatest questions in history: are we alone? Combining the latest telescope images with dazzling CGI, "Finding Life Beyond Earth" immerses audiences in the sights and sounds of alien worlds, while top astrobiologists explain how these places are changing how we think about the potential for life in our solar system. We used to think our neighboring planets and moons were fairly boring -- mostly cold, dead rocks where life could never take hold. Today, however, the solar system looks wilder than we ever imagined. Powerful telescopes and unmanned space missions have revealed a wide range of dynamic environments -- atmospheres thick with organic molecules, active volcanoes, and vast saltwater oceans. This ongoing revolution is forcing scientists to expand their ideas about what kinds of worlds could support life. And if we do find primitive life forms elsewhere in the solar system, it may well be that life is common in the universe -- the rule, and not the exception.

got2b Ultra Glued Invincible Styling Gel
Zachary G.Best EverMy hair is kind of long and this stuff will still spike it up!!!!!posted Dec 14, 2011Link to this post
JimPADisappointedI've been using go2be glued styling spiking glue (yellow tube) for several years. It is pretty stiff & holds my medium - short business style hair cut in place.
I recently saw the got2be 'ultra glued' invincible styling gel - which I thought would be stiffer; WRONG - it's definitely a step back in holding power.
It may be just what you need, just understand that 'ultra glued' invincible styling gel does not hold as 'strong-ly'(?) as the yellow tube / 'styling spiking glue'.

State loses (ugly) at Virginia
Box Score (ESPN)
Zo Brown — the ACC's best point guard and leader in assists — missed the final 30 mins with an ankle injury, and State lost another ugly, poorly-officiated weeknight road game, 58-55.
State managed only five points in transition. Despite Brown's absence, State led 47-42 with 8:15 remaining, but then managed only two field goals and a total of seven points over the final 7:23.
State falls to 5-3 and fourth place in the ACC, with undefeated Miami looming Saturday (4pm, CBS).
Feel free to meltdown over on the re-launched SFN Forums.

When did Lewis leave the game? Rodney is not a PG, and Lewis should have played more down the stretch. I know playing Rodney puts your best 5 on the court, but our offense had NO flow when Lewis was out, and very LITTLE when he was in, but better than nothing.
wolfpack_8301/29/2013 at 8:55 PM #
The wind is knocked out of me on this one. I had hoped to see someone step-up in Lo Brown's absence, and quite a few gave good effort, but we need to stop "playing down" to teams that simply aren't as talented. Not a killer here (especially with Brown out), but we let another win slip away tonight. Hopefully all are well and healthy come this weekend. They'll need it against Miami.
PackAmy01/29/2013 at 8:56 PM #
I keep thinking that this one shouldn't hurt so bad with Lo out and CJ looking like death with the flu. But it does – probably because its behind the Wake and MD losses too.
Wulfpack01/29/2013 at 8:59 PM #
Only a State team could face the prospect of falling to 5-4 with a loss to Miami, with convincing wins over Duke and UNC. Go figure.
While there are certainly valid reasons why we lost this game, it appears that this team cannot deal with success. Not good.
Wolfpack9301/29/2013 at 9:00 PM #
We should just forfeit games following a big win. We could get a few extra days rest and avoid injuries to key players. Result would be the same.
Ed8901/29/2013 at 9:04 PM #
I'm of the thought now that the regular season is nice, but like Gott has said, we need to be playing our best in March. Still a long way to go. We are clearly a better team than UVa. They were at home, we were without Lo, and CJL looked under the weather. Just not a good combination. I actually thought we looked okay before Brown left.
Master01/29/2013 at 9:10 PM #
Well, this sure is disappointing. However, I'm not going to crap on the team or coaches. Losing Zo is a situation we are just not prepared for – not this game or any game. I'm not into excuse making, but Zo is arguably our best player and floor leader. We need Tyler Lewis to step up if Zo is out for any appreciable time. NO team is the same when losing a starting point guard.
backnine01/29/2013 at 9:10 PM #
no doubt in my mind we would have won had Brown not gotten injured. We were playing well and clearly in control of the game when he went down. Very dissappointing indeed! Also, I'm not one to point at the refs during losses. But cant deny I'm seeing some trends with regard to teams being allowed to bang our guys with no whistle. Even Jay Williams made mention of it tonight. Our bigs were hacked on ALL night with no calls.
Clarksa01/29/2013 at 9:11 PM #
I think we should sink or swim with Lewis…that's why he was brought in…I don't think RP is the answer if Zo is out for some time.
budfox8801/29/2013 at 9:13 PM #
We're not playn down when we can't make baskets under the goal. 3 games lost by a basket and so many wasted opps at easy baskets and FTs. We just aren't that good…good teams play with some consistency. We're only consistent at being out of control. At some pt must start using backboard around the goal and stop with the spastic uncontrolled offense!
tractor5701/29/2013 at 9:17 PM #
It was a road game in a place we have traditionally had no success. Then add coming after a draining win last game, CJ being sick and Zo going down.
With all that I'm not so upset at coming up 3 points short. I am disappointed but not suicidal. The team comes away with some positives – some playing time for others at PG – I thought both Lewis and Purvis looked the best they have this year when running the point. Nothing like Zo but then he is primed to be an NBA 1st round pick. I thought Vandy had some flashes but still a bit short on footwork. CJ battled through his illness but obviously was not prime.
Would I have preferred a win? Of course I would but this is life in the ACC – road wins are tough to find as this team has proved in the last couple weeks.
Wolfiegirl01/29/2013 at 9:20 PM #
Me thinks we have more than just illness and injury issues…what the heck is going on with Big Rich and TJ..that little dust up did not need to happen…much less on TV…just my humble observation and proverbial 2 cents.
budfox8801/29/2013 at 9:21 PM #
By the way, refs and losing Zo had little to do with this loss. 5 unanswered trips down the court with 0 points at the end does.
Wulfpack01/29/2013 at 9:24 PM #
I wish we played Virginia level defense, that is for sure.
tractor5701/29/2013 at 9:25 PM #
Those unproductive trips DID relate to not having Zo available but yes I agree that was the critical time.
I'm not so sure the thing with Rich and TJ was anything more than TJ being frustrated with the flow of the game. Until there is evidence to the contrary I will keep that opinion.
In each case better to work through those issues now as opposed to late Feb into Mar.
wolffpride01/29/2013 at 9:26 PM #
Refs killed us again. We have the worst luck on the road this year in regards to the reffing crews we have been getting. Anderson was fouling Calvin everytime we had the ball in the final 3 minutes, you can't hold and shove guys trying to get position. Everyone will meltdown, that is what this idiot fanbase does. I wish we were as realistic as we were passionate. Though I have my problems with the Maryland game, I will say it was what it was, we lost on a buzzer beater. The Wake game our starters played with foul trouble in the second half and everyone wonders why we gave up 50, if the refs dont let you defend, what can you do? This game, we get hacked underneath on 75% of the shots we took down there, and only manage a handful of fouls. Lorenzo Brown plays 10 minutes…I guess we are a little snake bit. But make no mistake, we were ready to play in everyone of these losses. We prepared and we hustled, sometimes things dont go your way. Our team is good, and we are consistent at being good, you are foolish to believe otherwise.

Where's Waldo Warren? You know, that elusive scorer donned in red and white. I thought he was hiding out on the defensive end, but obviously I was mistaken. So puzzling…

Tough loss. I hope Zo is back on Saturday and able to run. I'm pretty deflated, but winning the ACC regular season isn't a top goal, and is still doable with some help. I just hope the team doesn't implode from the frustration, and I also hope they don't let the refs mess with their head and play into an engrained negative attitude. Hopefully, TJ and Rich will hug it out, Zo can heal, and this team can keep their heads up.

We could easily be atop the conference undefeated. But bone headed play in close games on the road have doomed us, with or without Brown, and officiating.

I hope they do work it out…now rather than later. Im sure they were frustrated..snakebit is what we are to be sure
Ed8901/29/2013 at 9:35 PM #
You are correct, wolffpride. We can still be very good. As far as Howell and Warren. Warren needs to know the pecking order. Howell is a Senior (a VERY good one). Warren is a FRESHMAN. He needs to sit down and shut up…especially after his "retweet". He doesn't play great D, doesn't rebound, and if his shot is off, he's not an asset. That's SIR Rich, TJ. Remember that!

I agree with Clarksa. Lewis was brought in as a point guard recruit. He has some talent or he would not have been a McD AA. Give him some PT earlier in the season and perhaps he is a better player by now. We looked better when he was on the court.
LifeLongWolf01/29/2013 at 9:38 PM #
I'm actually calm about this one. We'll be ok.
tractor5701/29/2013 at 9:38 PM #
I will say TJ has shown improvement on defense but yes he still has some things to learn. TV is always looking for a story thus the "lose after winning a big game" and the "argument". There is some substance there but probably not as much as the experts want us to think.

Hi, I am new here, and I would like some help/advice in designing primers for GFP in Arabidopsis GFP marker lines. I want to design a "universal" primer that would recognize the GFP sequence so that I can PCR genotype my plants that have been crossed with the marker. I know that I can technically use a selectable marker (kanamycin or basta) to identify the plants that are positive for GFP - but I would rather PCR genotype for the marker and my fellow lab mates have expressed interest in using the primers I should be designing for their own work. I've looked at several papers (that deal with PCR genotyping for GFP marker lines in Arabidopsis) that have provided the GFP primer sequence that was used - but there seems to be no consensus sequence between the papers and I am now confused as to how to go about designing primers for just GFP. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I was wondering if anyone was interested in a geisha roleplay set in Kyoto, Japan (time period yet to be determined). It would follow the lives of three geisha living in the same okiya, and, thus, their lives being intricately connected. We would also probably need three patrons, so all in all a six person roleplay. I haven't worked out the kinks as of yet, but was wondering if anyone would be interested in something of the like? And if so, what time period do you think you'd prefer? Basic knowledge of geisha and their way of living would be preferred. I do plan on it being a rather detailed, thought out roleplay if it gets off the ground.
Thanks! (:

February 8, 2010
The University of Maryland has been selected to continue in the second stage of the RFP process for the U.S. Department of Energy Competition, Solar Decathlon 2011. Along with a selection of other universities, UM is preparing a concept design submission for this next stage of the team selection process. The concept submission is due mid-March, with final notification of selected teams anticipated to be occurring mid-April. The 2011 competition, hosted on the National Mall, will take place in October of 2011.
After UM's impressive 2nd-place finish in Solar Decathlon 2007 with the entry LEAFHouse, Solar Decathlon 2011 has generated interest from all over the campus community and drawn together a multidisciplinary team of enthusiastic students and faculty. In September 2009 alone, over 250 students from schools and departments across the campus signed up as potential team members.
While team members come from a wide range of fields and bring various levels of experience and expertise, all share the common goals of producing a sustainable design with sustainable construction. The team members show their concern for the environment, and have a passionately held conviction that we must change the way buildings are conceived, designed and built, and for fostering integrated practice necessary for future practitioners who will be charged with creating built environments and who must cross generational and academic - industry boundaries to do so. The UM team intends to use the Solar Decathlon as an opportunity to provide a hands-on learning experience to students and a tool for educating the public about environmentally sound, sustainable design and the role of advanced building strategies and renewable energy technologies in achieving a future powered by alternative energy strategies.
A core Faculty Leadership Advisory Team has been formed with faculty continuing to join. Coordinated courses have been formed in the Schools of Architecture, Planning and Preservation; the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. These courses are in progress this semester, proceeding with the design of UM's next Solar Decathlon house.
Interested students and faculty members are encouraged to get in touch with the SD2011 team! Please contact: Assoc. Professor Amy E. Gardner, email@example.com.
For more information about the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon Competition see http://www.solardecathlon.org/.
The School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at the University of Maryland is home to four academic disciplines: architecture, urban planning, historic preservation and real estate development. Committed to educating its students and community about the importance of sustainability and smart growth, the School practices an interdisciplinary approach to education, research, creative work, and community and professional service. For more information, please e-mail us or call 301.405.8000.

FCS Diversity and Inclusion - PROPOSED RULE - MARCH 2011
Dear Mr. Van Meter,
Thank you for taking time to read my and others comments.
I am writing you to let you know why I would like for small farms to be able to produce and grow through funding. It is fairly simple, I want to feed my family the best food possible and at a fair cost. My research has led me to realize that locally grown and/or organic food is most healthy. I want to use my food money to support my community.
Also, we need to keep more of our hard earned dollars here. And what is more American than a local farmer? More than that, we as Americans need to support each other and it seems that one of the easiest and best ways to do that is to support our own communities. I think we could get a wonderful, lucrative chain reaction going!

WASHINGTON -- With two Latinos among five recipients of this year's Kennedy Center Honors, the center may be hoping to get beyond a controversy that roiled it last year: what advocates perceived as a conspicuous absence of Latino honorees in the past.
Carlos Santana, the Mexican American guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the genre of Latin-infused rock, and Martina Arroyo, the opera singer who helped break the color barrier at the Metropolitan Opera in the 1950s, are among the five artists to receive the 2013 award for excellence in the arts.
The honorees, announced Thursday by the Kennedy Center, also include pop singer-songwriter Billy Joel, jazz pianist Herbie Hancock and actress Shirley MacLaine.
Before this year, only two of the 186 honorees since 1978 were of Hispanic origin: Placido Domingo in 2000 and Chita Rivera in 2002. Controversy erupted after a fiery exchange between Kennedy Center President Michael Kaiser and Felix Sanchez, chairman of the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts, in which Kaiser used profane language. Kaiser apologized and the center took action, amending the selection process by creating an artist review panel and opening the nomination process to the public on its website. With two artists of Hispanic descent among the honorees, the process appears to have fostered greater ethnic diversity.
"It was a priority," said George Stevens Jr., producer and creator of the Kennedy Center Honors, of increasing input via an artist review panel and the public. "The greatest difference was that we invited recommendations from the public, and 25,000 people made recommendations. That was a valuable enhancement."
In a statement, Kennedy Center Chairman David Rubenstein said: "The Kennedy Center has sought to honor individuals whose accomplishments have affected the cultural life of the United States. This wider range of people involved in the process has resulted in the selection of five distinguished, accomplished and deserving honorees."
The National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts reacted positively to this year's announcement, in particular praising the selections of Santana and Arroyo.
"The Kennedy Center Honors should be credited today with presenting a more modern artistic landscape that inclusively represents the artistic achievements of this great nation," Sanchez said in a statement.
The National Council of La Raza -- a Hispanic civil rights and advocacy group -- added its praise. "We commend the Kennedy Center's leadership for making the necessary changes in the selection process that resulted in the broad diversity of this year's class of honorees," said president and chief executive Janet MurguÃa.
The Kennedy Center would not detail how the selection of artists differed this year or whether the revised process contributed to greater diversity among the honorees. Stevens also declined to comment on the process, reiterating that the choice of artists is based on one criterion: excellence.
Arroyo, 76, raised in Harlem by an African American mother and Puerto Rican father, won the Metropolitan Opera's "Auditions in the Air" in 1958 and made her Carnegie Hall debut the same year, a performance applauded by The New York Times for a "voice of amplitude." With a classic spin to soprano voice, she excelled across the operatic repertory, performing Verdi, Puccini and Schoenberg. In the 1960s and '70s, she performed in the United States and across Europe's great houses including Paris Opera, La Scala in Milan and Covent Garden in London.
Reached by phone in New York, Arroyo said becoming a Kennedy Center honoree put her "out of her own realm." Asked whether the award carries meaning for Latino or African American opera singers, she said, "I hope so. I hope that anybody who identifies and says 'I want to have her career,' puts their hand out.' "
Shortly after Arroyo took Europe by storm, Santana, 66, was playing his distinct brand of Latin-infused jazz, blues and rock on the San Francisco club circuit. The Santana Blues Band rocked Woodstock in 1969, with Santana's rendition of "Soul Sacrifice" becoming an international hit. His career would soar shortly after that appearance, with three chart-topping albums and the behemoth "Supernatural" which swept the 2000 Grammys with nine awards and birthed a new generation of Santana fans.
Of being named an honoree, Santana exclaimed via phone from his home in Las Vegas, "Can you believe it? Fortunately, I was sitting down when I heard the news, and my heart just expanded with gratitude."
Santana said the honors carry extra meaning for him because many of his idols, including Buddy Guy, a 2012 honoree, preceded him. He also noted that he hopes the honors will have resonance with the Latino community.
"It means we are part of the fabric of the tapestry of the United States of America," he said. "We are part of the mainstream, especially now. It seems that day by day, we are becoming not minorities but part and parcel of what America is."
Jazz will also have its place at the Kennedy Center Honors with the selection of Herbie Hancock, 73, the pianist and band leader whose music has spanned six decades. Born in Chicago, the piano prodigy appeared with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at 11 and then taught himself jazz piano, defining the genre throughout his career. He joined the Miles Davis Quintet in 1963 and wrote the albums "Empyrean Isles" in 1964 and "Maiden Voyage" a year later -- works that transformed the jazz canon. A prolific composer, he won an Oscar for the jazz score of "Round Midnight" and has won 14 Grammys since 1984.
Hancock was on the verge of tears upon hearing that he received the honors.
"To think I had been selected among that list that people, people I've admired over the years . . . I was shocked," he said.
The Kennedy Center is honoring another master of the piano, Billy Joel, who became one of the most prolific pop music writers of the '70s, '80s and early '90s, writing such hits as "Piano Man," "My Life" and "Only the Good Die Young." Born in the Bronx, Joel, 64, is one of the best-selling pop artists of all time, garnering with 33 Top 40 hits and selling 150 million records worldwide.
Joel was unavailable for comment because of events related to the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, but in a statement he said, "[T]o have my name added to the illustrious roster of outstanding musicians that have already been so honored is very meaningful to me."
This year's list of honorees includes an Arlington, Va. native who left the region for New York in the 1950s and has been working steadily on screens and stages ever since. MacLaine, 79, the prolific film actor, won the Academy Award for "Terms of Endearment" and earned four nominations. Known for her longevity and range, with roles as diverse as the "The Apartment" and "Steel Magnolias," her film and stage career has spanned seven decades. Still a working actor, she appears on "Downton Abbey" and will star with Christopher Plummer in the upcoming film "Elsa and Fred."
Reached via phone from her home in Santa Fe, N.M., MacLaine called the honors, "a homecoming," and says she is looking forward to "being in the White House again and seeing how this crowd really acts. I've played my show at the Kennedy Center a few times, so it will be nice being in the audience for a change."
Although diversity of race and heritage is historic among this list, there's less diversity among artistic disciplines. MacLaine's selection marks the only theater or film actor among a slate of musicians. Dance was ignored in this year's crop -- although MacLaine spent her childhood and early career in the ballet.
Stevens compared the mix of disciplines with the 2011 honorees, when Meryl Streep was the only actor among a group of musicians.
"The criteria says that there will be diversity among disciplines, but each one cannot be recognized every year," he said.
Although primarily a celebration, bestowing the honors is also a television production, one that's designed to bring in high ratings for a major network. In previous years, some critics have remarked that theater translates poorly in the honors broadcast on CBS. While musical performances of any kind -- rock, pop and opera -- tend to impress both the live audience in the Kennedy Center Opera Hall and TV viewers, acting tributes onstage are more difficult to capture.
The honors ceremony also is the Kennedy Center's largest fundraiser of the year, meaning Stevens and the selection committee must strike a delicate balance between choosing marquee names and deserving artists who will satisfy ratings, patrons, advocacy groups and the criterion of excellence.
Stevens denies that these factors affect the selection or that musical tributes are easier to stage for the broadcast.
"We will be honoring [theater and dance] in the future, as we have in the past," he said.
"Kennedy Center Honors" will take place Dec. 8 and will be broadcast on CBS on Dec. 29. Check local listings for specific times.
