by Shane Satterfield
Yes, I'm back and jet-lagged to the hilt. Sorry I didn't get this up yesterday, but by the time I got into the office at 10:00 in the morning, it was almost 2:00am Japan time. Needless to say, I was and still am a bit wiped out. But I've gathered the questions and supplied the answers per The Spot protocol, and you can look forward to yet another bootylicious episode tomorrow. While I'm here I'd like to thank you all for treating Miguel with the same respect you've shown me, and I'd like to give props to big daddy M for doing an excellent job in my absence. Hopefully, you'll all take me back. But enough of the formalities. It's time to get this week into high gear.
Send your questions or comments by clicking
PC on the PS2
I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer:
1. Do you know if The Sims or EverQuest PC games are going to be on the PS2?
2. I think someone answered this before, but can you get online with the PS2 without the hard drive?
3. Which do you think is better: SmackDown 3 or Raw is War? The latter has very good graphics and a deeper grappling system but the former has more people on screen, and a lot more matches.
I was under the impression that Sony would show EverQuest for the PS2 at E3, but I was dead wrong. It seems like a no-brainer to me. Why launch the PS2's online network with a game like SOCOM: Navy Seals when you already have a bona fide killer app in Evercrack? You can play online games with the PS2 without a hard drive, and you should be able to download smaller files (like roster updates for sports games) as well.
Nintendo Loves Japan?
Hey Shane, I've been reading the site for about a month now, and I'm enjoying it. Keep it up. My question to you is this: Do you think that Nintendo has been considerably more favorable to the Japanese market than to the U.S.? I realize they are based there and Japan is where it all started for them, but I can't imagine that the U.S. is any less important economically. It just seems to me like every policy Nintendo employs caters to the Japanese market. I guess my main example is the new look of Zelda. I admit that I was (and
kinda still am) disheartened when I saw the one-minute trailer. I imagine though, that this change will go over much better in the anime-crazed homeland than it has over here so far. I could bring up more examples, but I'll keep it short. What are your thoughts?
On the contrary, I believe Nintendo is really hooking up gamers in the US. We'll be getting more GameCubes at launch, and a few games (like Rogue Leader) will be released in the States well before Japan gets them. Heck, Rogue Squadron II wasn't even shown at Space World. The only gripe I have is that Japan gets the fatty orange Cube before we do, but I can deal with a black one until more colors arrive. I don't understand why everyone is so upset about Zelda. It looks amazing--maybe the most visually impressive console game I've ever laid eyes on. And you know the gameplay is going to rock. So what's there to worry about? I find it shallow to write a game off simply because of its art style, but then I like Zelda's new direction anyway. In my opinion, the only mistake Nintendo made was showing the old art at E3 knowing the game had already been switched over to the new look.
Dragonball Z for Adults?
I just want to know where in the hell all these new DBZ games are? Infogrames claims to be developing all these new games for us DBZ fans and yet has failed to produce any pics or updates of any kind. I really don't consider a brief description about Legacy of Goku coming to the Game Boy Advance [a big deal]. Sure the GBA is the best handheld system on the market, but so what? I enjoy my games the best when played on my 32-inch Hitachi w/s-video and my surround sound booming at me from all angles. Is DBZ not the most popular anime/cartoon in America right now? Please don't try to say Pokemon is because those numbers are based on some company that sends some peon out and asks a bunch of 4-year-olds what their favorite toon is. I'm talking mass market with jobs and money. I run a video game store in Chattanooga, TN, and have more than 30 people a day ask about any news of a new DBZ game. Most of those people are my age (24 or older). The import games help to tide us over but I want to play a better game with words I can actually understand. PS graphics are so dated and I think that it's obvious that Bandai has no clue about making good video games. So please do us all a big favor and give Infogrames a call and ask them what the big holdup is. Thanks for your time.
-Super Saiyan Dan
If you're talking mass market and money, nothing is bigger than Pokémon in all of video games. It just won't die. And I find it hard to believe that the majority of people asking about a DBZ game are over 24. My 8-year-old cousin is into it, but not many adults are. So far DBZ has been announced for the PS2 and GBA and that's it. We haven't received any word about when we'll see the first screenshots from the game. But judging from the series' popularity, Infogrames will likely wait until it's looking good before showing it.
The Zelda Debacle
OK so Miyamoto is developing this next Zelda game, right? A long time ago (when Zelda didn't look ridiculously stupid) I read an article that said the next Zelda would be developed by the same guy who did Majora's Mask. Could this mean anything, or am I just in denial? I hope we see a more mature Zelda in the GameCube's lifespan, because, let's face it, if Nintendo doesn't grow up the PS2 is going to win this war with ease.
I don't understand why everyone thinks the initial shots of Zelda for the GameCube represent a more mature game. He's an elfin child for God's sake. Why does everyone want Link to keep getting older in Zelda games? Why would Nintendo limit access to arguably its biggest franchise by making it an M-rated game? Nintendo will never have as many games with violence and suggestive themes as Sony or Microsoft. It's the facts. If you can't appreciate a game unless it's filled with gore and cleavage, you should stick with the PS2 or Xbox. That's not what Nintendo's games are about. Miyamoto is overseeing Zelda for the GameCube, but Mitsihiro Takano of Majora's Mask fame is directing it.
Too Many Games!
The Spot is the biggest thing since Final Fantasy VII came to our shores. Anyway, I have noticed that there are quite a few new PlayStation games out that you guys haven't reviewed (probably because they're bargain games that are so bad that the companies won't want to send them to you to review). Can you clear up why these games aren't reviewed.
Right now it's a question of manpower. There are so many games and so many shows coming up in the next few months that it will be difficult for our crew of six to keep up with it all. Not that I'm complaining. The end of this year could be the best three months in the history of video games. You'll eventually see reviews for them all, so please stick with us and stay tuned.
Big in Japan
Hey Shane. You're back from Japan finally and I got some questions for you that I would love to get answered. So here they are:
1. Is there any other Twisted Metal game in the works other than Small Brawl?
2. Will Metal Gear Solid 2 be as short as the first one?
3. Do you guys know anything new about the Dragonball Z games?
Thanks if you can answer them Shane and I'm glad you're back.
John M.
It's good to be back John M. Small Brawl is the only other announced TM game in development right now, but I wouldn't be surprised if the sequel to Black is already in the works for the PS2. We don't know how long MGS2 will be, but we're pretty dang excited that it's only a few months away. Woohah!
Digital Output and Bugs
Shane, I have two major problems:
1) I can't get the digital output to work right on the PS2. I have a song in the Music Generator program that I want to upload to my computer. I have a sonicport USB interface that has worked with many other high-end multi-track recorders. But when I record from the PS2, the speed and pitches are higher (when I play the song back on my computer) and there is a lot of noise. Do you know if the bit depth of the PS2 is 16bit/44.1KHz, or is it something else?
2) When in Dynasty mode in NCAA 2002, anytime I break the record for passing yards in a game, it screws up the dynasty. If you go to the weekly awards screen after the game, and press L1 or R1 to go to the different conferences (Big East, etc.), it now says "Empty String." If I save it, then try to load it later, it says that it is unable to load the file. I have screwed up three dynasties and had to restart them until I figured out the problem. Is this an isolated situation, or have you heard of this before?
Thank you for your help. The Spot rules.
I'm calling in Sam on your question about USB. Take it away SP.
Sam responds: I assume that the Music Generator program has some sort of upload option that specifically directs the audio stream over USB. Whatever audio data format the Music Generator program is sending over the USB port shouldn't be determined by the PS2's audio hardware (which can sample at 44.1KHz and 48KHz). It seems to be a software or format issue that would require some looking into.
Thanks Sam. If you have more questions like this, check him out over at
Sega's Second-Party Developers
Hello there,
I am 19-year-old gamer and a huge Sega fan (and am also a bit confused at the moment). Here is my confusion: Sega spinned off its development houses and hence we have different companies like WOW Entertainment, Sonic Team, etc. Now my question is how much influence does Sega have over these
spin-offs? Does Sega decide what games they develop and who they develop for or do these spin-offs make their own decisions with no say from Sega? And another thing, do they use the Sega emblem for all the games they develop or will they stop using it? And what does a statement like "Acclaim will publish Crazy Taxi 2" or "Sony will publish Sega games for Europe" mean? Does it mean that the games will not sport the Sega emblem or does it mean that the publishers will be the ones promoting and marketing the product?
I know most of these questions are business related and you probably might have covered them in a feature, but I'm a bit puzzled so please help me out.
Sega's second-party developers are basically their own separate business entities, though anything they do has to get the go-ahead from Sega. Consequently, their packaged games will still have the Sega logo. The same holds true for games that Acclaim or any other publisher produces.
A Budding Relationship
Just wondering about the GBA's connectivity to the GC. Will it allow you to play GBA on your TV (a la Super Game Boy)?
Also, with Nintendo wanting to push this connectivity and the "need" to own both systems, why haven't they done something with sports games? I think it'd be great to see a baseball game on the GC that allowed you to download your season onto the GBA, take it on the road and play a few games, and then come back and upload the new season stats to the GC. Seems like a great way to drive up sales for Nintendo, EA, or Sega. Or what about a college football game on GBA where you connect to GC to do your draft and play an NFL game on the GC?
What about an RPG, from say...Square, where a few months before the GC game is released, they release a prequel of sorts for the GBA, and then when the GC game hits, you can play the main game with your characters' stats?
All of these seem obvious ideas, but so far Nintendo at Space World has shown relatively unimpressive uses for the connectivity to me.
-Justin Young
So far the only announced connection is with Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble 2, or Flippin' Kirby, as we like to call it. The connection between the two games is very cool so maybe you should give our preview a read and see if it changes your mind. Of course, this is just the beginning, and many of the ideas you have will likely be implemented before all is said and done. We've already heard rumors about a connection between Sonic Adventure 2 for the Cube and Sonic for the GBA. We were just as surprised as you that the ability to play the GBA on a TV wasn't announced. We figured it would be a given.
Soul Reaver 2 Gore
I've have been looking at the previews for the game Soul Reaver 2 because I am looking to buy it. However, the M rating with blood and violence does extremely lower my chances of getting the game. So I could make a more informed decision about the game (since it says that your site actually played the game and saw the violence), could you describe the level of violence in the game for me? Like actually tell me the bad and good parts of the violence. Thank you very much.
Miguel has spent some quality time with Soul Reaver 2, so he's the best guy to answer your question.
Miguel responds: The violence gets pretty crazy. Some of Raziel's finishers involve him ripping enemies' torsos off, beheading them, and the like. Since many of the enemies have no working physiology to speak of, there isn't as much blood as you'd expect, but it's still pretty gruesome. You do fight a lot of humans, though, and they bleed like stuck pigs. The animations for the aforementioned finishers are totally insane, probably more hard-core than anything you've seen before. So yeah, if your parents are stiff about this sort of thing, then you're likely out of luck.
Space World a Letdown?
You guys got one of the best Q&As on the net. Anyway, my question is, with Space World finished, where are the big announcements? I though we'd be bombarded with announcements from Capcom, Namco, Konami, Tecmo, Enix and possibly Square. But we heard absolutely nothing we didn't know prior to Space World. What's happening with Nintendo? Surely the NDAs would have expired by now! You guys probably hear a lot of stuff behind the scenes and I'm sure you can't let it out yet otherwise you would have, but is there anything earth shattering or other big announcements which cannot be revealed yet?
Thanks and I agree with your reply for the new Zelda look.
Yeah, Nintendo's third-party showing was kind of anemic at Space World. Most of the third-party games were pretty good, but there still aren't a whole lot of them. There are plenty of games in development for the GameCube. Ubi Soft is working on 19, Activision is working on several including Spider-Man and Tony Hawk 3, Acclaim will have five games ready for the US launch, and Namco is working on more than just Soul Calibur 2. As for why these games weren't shown, I can only assume that they're not far enough along yet. Nintendo's show was catered heavily to the Japanese market. Madden, Courtside, Rogue Leader, and Kameo weren't even shown at all. I expect Konami to at least announce something for the GameCube at TGS. Things are looking kind of shady for Capcom on the GameCube, though. Resident Evil 0 wasn't even shown in video form, and rumors are starting to fly.
That's it for today, but we'll get back at it tomorrow. How about taking some time to give us your comments on Space World? And let's hear some levelheaded impressions from all sides. So get writing, and the best pieces will be found here tomorrow. Time for some Zs. Out.

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
@TiagoQ and Ale66
Sorry I missed your sarcasm, but there are many people saying this things for REAL these days
@ FelipeCoelho
Businessman are happy with Lula (at least some of them, perharps most of them). Who is angry is the upper midlle class who does not accept that some things are changing and they don't rule the country anymore. As Lula sayd it's the end of the "opinionmakers".
I couldn't get through 50% of these comments. You people think you own supreme knowledge.
Democracy in Brazil is in danger, as it has been under attack during eight years of Lula government. The press has been continuously attacked, with the government desiring to reimpose censorship, and Judiciary decisions have been ridiculed by Lula himself. He even made jokes about being fined by continuously violating our electoral laws...
What used to sustain Brazilian democracy was not the Judiciary, weak and inefficient, but the federation system and a chaotic political system. Nevertheless Lula and his cronies more or less sorted it all out by systematically buying all parties, except the center-left PSDB, the center-right DEM, and the ecological PV. And most of the states depend on federal government decisions, except São Paulo, and can not afford to go against Lula. My state, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo are under the Damocles sword of losing our oil royalties so the Rio de Janeiro governor, Sergio Cabral, is subservient to the point of repugnance, stating that he obtains things by being a friend of Lula.
Our only hope is a second turn, when that nullity called Dilma would have to expose her thougths either against Serra or against Marina. Till now the election candidates were Lula, Serra and Marina, as if Dilma did not exist. This is perhaps true, she is the compliant Medvedev and Lula a tropical and milder Putin. We can do much better.
Best regards from Rio
Concerning the people Lula supposedly took out of poverty, I think it is also enlightening to realize that this would have happened anyway, as long as similar economic progress had been made. Once people have money, they will wish to spend part of it, money flows and create jobs. There is absolutely no need for distribution of wealth by a government, that's what the economic system itself is for! I for one have no doubt created a number of jobs just by eating out more often during all these years. Moreover, the price of many "middle-class things" has dropped dramatically (e.g., computers), and credit has never been easier.
So, to reiterate, Lula's merit is this: he did not screw up the system he inherited.
The judicial system in Brazil is practically a joke and a very said one. If there is one think lacking in that country is the delivery of justice, and thats a fact.
Lula did not do anything out of the ordinary but receives credit for the work done by his predecessor Cardoso and his team.
Also, Ms Rousseff is not a victim of anything but a another criminal in that PT workers party, as you forgot to mention why she was arrested and tortured in the first place back in the Sixties. You could begin with bank robbery and her participating in the murder of US Army Capt. Charles Chandler.
It is quite interesting though that these are known facts to the public and still voters will hand her the presidency of the country.
I guess good moral character is really not a prerequisite to fulfill the most important position in the government of Brazil (nor education for that matter) and voters seem to disregard it as well.
If you are interested in Brazil, really recommend you to read this book
which can be downloaded in PDF for each chapter
The international press (particularly the NYT & The Economist) need to be much more diligent. Many comments and articles do not scratch the surface of what the PT is trying to do in Brasil.
On at least four separate occasions, including once when a law was signed by Lula, the PT and Lula have stated publicly that the press needs to be controlled. While democracy is new here, the right of free speech is a pillar of that. Additionally assuming that an independent judiciary will solve all ills is misguided and naive in a country where cases drag on for years and the accused has the ability to take any case to the Supreme Court.
All democracies suffer growing pains, but the world should not heap praise on Brasil for merely following the same economic plan for sixteen years. Praise should come for following democratic principles, eliminating corruption, alleviating poverty etc.
Please use your influence wisely and do your journalistic duty.
Mr Jaimenash,
There are a lot of people who does not support reading VEJA, and that is becouse it is the best journalism we have in Brazil. Good journalism is unsupportable to these people, they prefer biased information.
In response to many of the comments on this piece..
In defense of the Economist.. it is technically illegal under UK law and certainly against the principles of The Economist to publish articles not based on proven facts. I know in many cases this may present us with an article many believe does not reflect the true situation.. But unfortunately it does have to stick to the principles of good journalism and respect the laws and legal process of the country in question..
Some of the comments feature complaints about expressions like 'unproven' but this is good journalism. If not proven in a Court of Law it is unacceptable for The Economist to be the judge, jury and executioner regardless of how compelling the evidence is.
It is an awkward situation when it seems the rule of law itself is at fault in a particular country.. It is important that The Economist does stick to it's principles.
When reading all publications in all countries we have to be aware of the legal and social affect on them.. It's multi-layered.
Wow, you are right. It seems that my sarcasm detector is in need of some repairs :)
didn't you realize that TiagoQ was being sarcastic following me being sarcastic?!?
It seems that 'election fever' is getting to your sense of humour..
Seriously, Bob from DC? You don't know what your talking about.
The article makes assumptions about the political capabilities of Ms Rousseff, the prospective leader of Brazil. But I could not fathom is that Ms Rousseff has never held an elected office. Yet, the article noted that she has been the Lula's Chief of Staff. How did she boarded on the political wagon and all of the sudden became the Chief of Staff of the biggest and the most powerful country of Latin America? The article has delved into the fact that Brazil's near future depends on the political capability of the mostly likely incoming and would be elected president, Ms Rousseff. But less has been said about her political career and background.
Another point that the article failed to thoroughly explain is to present the factors which led Brazil to lean toward the authoritarian regimes, namely Ahmedinajad, Huges and Castro."Either with us or with the enemy" policy of the former United States president, George Bush, was among the reasons why Brazil has turned its back to the United States and its allies. During the two terms of Bush presidency, many countries had become frustrated about the United States foreign policy. And, thus, it was the time in which the international image of the United States had precipitated to its lowest level. I agree with the writer of the article that Brazil needs to positively influence on these leaders. But the country that needs most to polish its international image is the United States of America.
Oh god, stop saying nonsensical things about elites! Lula maintained all policies of Fernando Henrique and gave them a right-wing turn. When he assumed power our net internal debt was 0.45 trillion, now is abot 1.5 trillion. What explains trebling the debt in 8 years? The nonsensically generous highest interest rates in the world bought the support of the elites, while the use of the State-machine of propaganda made people fear losing State-assistance subsidies already created in the Fernando Henrique government.
The use of the worker assistance fund, the FAT, to lend money to some companies at interest rates of less than our prime rate is perhaps the best example of transferring money from the workers to the big companies. And the FAT is reimbursed at just the inflation level, almost 0% real interest rates. And this is just one aspect, allowing the phone companies oligopolies and excuse dealings with Petrobras are others, No wonder that in just one year Eike Batista fortune rose from 8 billion dollars to 28, benefiting from Petrobras largesse.
This is not Robin Hood robbers's socialism, it is robbers's capitalism at its worst. Brazil economy is decolating, thanks to Fernando Henrique reforms, and that gang of robbers get the profits, giving a few billions to the poor.
The most tough test for Lula's successor is not getting out of his shade or gaining more independence,but promoting the democratic extent of their nation and eliminating corruption.The more human rights she can bring to her people,the higher popularity rate she will reach.
I have been accompanying president Lula's path for a long time. He is indisputably is a great world leader. Many guys feared Lula but the president surprised the whole people and he made a great government. Dilma will be a great president and possibly she will have a second mandate. As European living in difficult times I have envy of the Brazilian people
You changed the cover page...thanks..it is not the same trash I got in the printed edition..I even refused to read the full issue...by the way the correct title is "BRAZIL HANGOVER"....not Brazil handover...we are tired of a man that drinks a lot..and is electing a terrorist pole...thanks to demagogy and by using his predecesssor ideas...including the conditional cash transfer idea created by Fernando Henrique Cardoso..a great man..he destroied our worst beast..inflation..I beg God that Federal Police and Income tax auditors will not go after me because of these comments and I ask The Economist to protect my identity
Next time The Economist put a liar and demagogue plus a terrorist in the first page I will cancel my subscription..this issue went from post office box directly to the trash can...
Dear Sir,
I was deeply disappointed with last issue's cover page entitled "Brazil's handover" picturing a photo of Lula and Dilma. It sends a clear message and, unfortunately, a wrong one.
The election of Brazil's next President is everything, but decided.
I would expect that a mature and well informed magazine, as The Economist is supposed to be, would be fully aware of that.
Apparently it is not the case. It makes me wonder if you are supporting Lula. If that is the case you should make it plain clear.
If not, clarify your purpose.
As a Brazilian who lived in London and subscribes to Economist, I was very disapointed with this magazine.
At this moment my country showed to PT and to the international press that there are more in this country than poor people depending on handing-outs as BOLSA FAMILIA. That assistencialismo is not enough, we want to have the benefits that comes with paying one of the most expensives taxes in the world. We want security, health, better education, we want ethics!!!!
The Economist owns us APOLOGIES from expecting so little of Brasileiros! And it owns the canditates the kinf of respect given for bravemen that run their campaigns with nothing like the R$ 700 million budget of PT campaign!!!

The Ultimate 'ER' Quiz
Since premiering in 1994, 'ER' has seen a lot of action -- and quite a few cast changes. George Clooney, Anthony Edwards, Julianna Margulies, John Stamos and many others have walked the halls of County General.
After 15 seasons of ups and downs, it's time to test your 'ER' knowledge by taking our quiz.
How ER plans to get George Clooney back
Showrunner David Zabel told TV Guide, "We have a really good story line for every [major] character from the past to show [the actors] what we want to do."
Anthony Edwards is already on board to appear in flashbacks on the Nov. 13 episode (since his character, Dr. Greene, is dead), along with Paul McCrane (Dr. Romano) and Laura Innes (Dr. Weaver). Noah Wyle will guest star in four episodes, and Alex Kingston may show up as Dr. Corday.
ER snags Angela Bassett
This is the first full-time series for Ms. Bassett, an Oscar-nominated actress for What's Love Got to Do With It? (1994). Who will ever forget her playing Tina Turner in that film? She made muscular arms on a woman sexy, in addition to providing a terrific performance as the musical star. In 2006, she was superb in the indie hit Akeelah and the Bee, and on TV, she did a short stint on Alias in 2005 as a CIA director.
Five from Revenge of the Nerds who went on to TV stardom
When you think of Revenge of the Nerds what comes to mind? Classic 80's movie? Naked sorority sisters? Morality story on how the meek can inherit the earth? Bush (and not the president)?
That's what came to my mind when I recently saw the film. However, something else popped into my brain as well while I was watching the end credits. Not only did a number of Nerds stars go on to other successful movies, but they also went and became fairly big television stars as well. Here are five who went onto small-screen fame.
Will Clooney return to ER?
Of course, getting George Clooney to come back would be a dream come true for ER producers, but they are trying to bring back old favorites for the final season (probably) of the hit NBC drama.
So far, only Noah Wyle has officially signed to come back to the show. He'll be on for several episodes, and in the ER not Africa (thank God). But producers have also talked to Julianna Marguiles and Gloria Reuben about coming back, and would love to also grab Eriq LaSalle, William H. Macy, and Laura Innes.
The Five: Who I miss from ER
Hi again. No new ER this week due to America's national pastime (the World Series, for the confused). So, I thought I'd take my usual Thursday night spot to pose a question to all fans of the show, past and present. Who do you miss from County General? There have been plenty of doctors and nurses who have come and gone through the doors of the emergency room. Some of them we were glad to see go, and we wish others would return for at least a guest appearance.
While I wait for your comments on the subject, here are the five ER cast members I miss.
John Carter (Noah Wyle) -- All right, I admit it, I had a "man crush" on Dr. Carter. In the very beginning of the series run I always felt the show was a bit empty when he wasn't around. Carter was the face of how things changed in the emergency room. Plus, he was one of those characters that we could root for, especially with events such as his stabbing and drug addiction and his rocky relationship with Abby. I wouldn't mind at all if he returned to ER for a few episodes this season.
Why can't Abby be happy, for pete's sake
Abby Lockhart has become the new Mark Greene.
As fans of the long-running ER know, Dr. Greene (Anthony Edwards) had some of the worst luck and unhappiness in the emergency room staff of County General. First, his wife leaves him, then he gets beaten up in the ER bathroom by a unknown assailant. Both his mother and father die in the same year, he's diagnosed with a brain tumor (which was successfully removed), his daughter feeds his newborn child Escasty, his brain tumor comes back, and he dies while in Hawaii. Needless to say, the man had no luck.
And now Abby (Maura Tierney) looks like she's wearing the albatross around her neck. Well, actually, she's been wearing it for several seasons now. It began when she was kicked out of medical school after her ex-husband failed to pay her tuition. Then, she had a rough set of relationships with Doctors Luka Kovac and John Carter. Her bi-polar mother stop taking her meds and her brother was diagnosed with the same mental disease as her mother. Last season she was kidnapped by a drug dealer who wanted Abby to treat an injured comrade.

Page 2 - 'Anchorman 2' Staying Classy To Top US Box Office This Weekend
Whilst Anchorman 2 draws in the biggest crowd of the weekend, the rest of the top six looks as though it will perform considerably well, with each film predicted to make over $10 million each. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will probably be Anchorman 2's closest competitor, with early estimates predicting a final weekend taking around the $29.6 million mark.
Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) fights dragons in Peter Jackson's latest Hobbit instalment
Making their debut into a mass market after only limited releases last week, both American Hustle and Saving Mr. Banks looks set end their first proper weeks in cinemas well. As American Hustle looks set to capitalise on its strong critical reception and Golden Globe nods, the film should make somewhere around $16 million by the end of the week. Saving Mr. Banks might not perform so well, with the light-hearted romp unlikely to appeal to as many audiences as David O\. Russell's more fast-paced American Hustle. Expect the Disney film to earn somewhere between $11 - 12 million.
Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jermey Renner, Christian Bale and Jennifer Lawrence star in American Hustle
Finishing off the rest of the top six should be another Disney film and its only kid-aimed competitor, with Frozen continuing to draw in a strong audience and newcomer Walking With Dinosaurs holding up the list. Frozen is expected to make around $16 million, whilst Walking With Dinosaurs is expected to come in just short of $12 mil. with a predicted $11.8 million (all estimates come via Box Office Mojo).

Mikel: Ancelotti went mad at us
Share This Story
The Blues went in level at 1-1 at the break at Stamford Bridge before running out comfortable 4-1 winners to book their place in the quarter-finals.
Ancelotti was not happy with Chelsea's first-half performance against Cardiff and Nigerian ace Mikel admits the Italian went "crazy" with the players.
"When we went back into the dressing room the manager was crazy, so we went into the second half knowing what we had to do," said Mikel.
"He went mad at us. He shouted at us in English and Italian - everything. When he's mad he mixes everything up.
"We knew we could do better. But we came out in the second half and that's what we gave him."
Mikel also admitted Chelsea need to improve their away form if they want to maintain their push for glory on three fronts.
Chelsea remain unbeaten at home this season, but have just one win in their last six games away from Stamford Bridge.
Mikel knows their away form has to improve and he is confident they can get results on their travels.
"Our away form is something that we need to sort out," added Mikel.
"We need to speak about it, but we know what we can do. We know what our players are capable of.
"If you look at us, we have some big players in this team, and when things are not going well, we know how to sort things out and put things right.
"We have got a very good manager, a very experienced manager who is going to put things right for us. We have to try and win all our games from now on."

All results are reported in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), except as otherwise indicated below."We achieved record revenue in the fourth quarter, closing out a year in which we delivered solid operational results, sold our AirCard business, and began putting the proceeds to work on acquisitions that extend our leadership position in M2M," said Jason Cohenour, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are exceptionally well positioned to capture the long-term M2M growth opportunity, and we are focused on continuing to drive profitable organic revenue growth, while we pursue additional acquisitions."

We are now reporting two segments, OEM Solutions and Enterprise Solutions, and all prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the two segments.

Cash Commentary-
Grain markets found heightened volatility this week with corn futures posting gains while soybeans traded lower. In the cash market, basis for both corn and soybeans were unchanged on average across the country this week, but that masks a fair amount of movement by end users and exporters.
For corn, ethanol users backed off on bids by a penny a bushel this week, but there are signs that more weakness could be in store for the ethanol sector. In Iowa, spot ethanol prices tumbled 32 cents a gallon to reach $1.68 a gallon. At the start of December, ethanol prices were as high as $2.42 a gallon. So far, ethanol production continues to exceed last year's tally at this time of year but that should change as current margin are now a $1 a bushel lower than the same time last year. On the export front, sales have been pace to reach USDA's export target for their year but recent approval by China to accept Syngenta's MIR 162 variety may give a slight boost there for corn & DDG exports. Basis levels at river terminals were up 2 cents on average thanks to some weakness in barge rates.
In soybeans, the Gulf export market was off 9 cents on basis for the week which triggered some weakness at river terminals even with falling barge rates. On average, river terminals were off 4 cents a bushel. At soybean plants, basis levels were off 2 cents a bushel.
Futures Commentary-
Corn and wheat led the market higher for the week ending December 18th, 2014. Corn added 12 ½ cents, wheat improved 57 ¾ cents and soybeans declined 7 ¼ cents on the week. The wheat market continued to focus on the developments in Russia as another announcement from the Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Service restricted grain export certificates for some countries.
Coming into this week there were two major soybean demand announcements that analysts were watching closely. The first was NOPA crush numbers which analysts were expecting to set a record high for November and the second was a publicized purchase event where six major soybean buyers from China were expected to buy large amounts of soybeans on the 16th.
NOPA crush numbers were released on Monday at 11 AM CST and came in on the low side of analyst expectation with 161.211 million bushels crushed in November. The average expectation for this report was 165.404 million bushels compared to last year's November total of 160.145. Analysts ranged from 161 to 176 million bushels.
Tuesday the 16th the Chinese soybean buyers signed agreements to purchase of 1.5 million metric tons of soybeans which seemed to do little for the market. Analysts viewed this sale as "routine" compared to a similar signing event back in September which produced 4.5 million metric tons of sales.
With both soybean demand announcements producing little excitement by the market, there is a reason to be concerned that prices could start to come under pressure in the near future. Bull markets need to be fed positive news, and with Brazil soybeans 100% planted and Conab expecting a 4.9% increase in soybean acres year over year there is little in the way of Bullish news coming from South America. Brazil's soybean crop is currently rated 75% good and 25% average with rain expected to improve crop development in the 15 day forecast. In Argentina they are still planting due to excessive rainfall in the northern regions early on in the season. There has been some dryness in parts of the growing region which could hurt final yield numbers but the longer term outlook is for increased shower activity. No major concerns have developed in Argentina yet.
This week China has approved a genetically modified strain of corn developed by Syngenta which was the reason behind many rejected cargoes of DDG's and corn late last year. The strain being approved could foreshadow stronger demand for corn or corn based products out of the U.S. Last week Chinese firms bought 900,000 metric tons of DDG's from the U.S. for delivery between December and March.
On Wednesday the EIA report showed another increase in weekly ethanol production. Production jumped 2,000 barrels per day, setting another marketing year high at 990,000 barrels per day. Despite the strong weekly numbers there seems to be a slowdown on the horizon. The average ethanol prices in Iowa have been declining over the last couple weeks with late November ethanol prices going from $2.31-$2.52 dollars per gallon to around $1.88-2.15 per gallon. Crush margins have fallen accordingly from $3.42 per bushel to around $2.90.

Red Sox honored at White House
Updated On: Apr 01 2014 12:57:40 PM EDT
The Boston Red Sox are celebrating their World Series championship with President Barack Obama at the White House on Tuesday.
Images: Sox at White House | Watch report
The Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in six games last fall. It was their first championship win at home in 95 years. Their 2004 and 2007 titles were won on the road.
"All the wins were sweet for Red Sox fans, but I think for the nation as a whole there was something about this particular squad that was special and will go down in history -- not just not just because they went from worst to first, but because they symbolized the grit and the resilience of America's -- one of America's iconic cities during one of its most difficult moments," Obama said.
Look back: Red Sox World Series parade
Last fall's victory came six months after the Boston Marathon bombings and at the end of a season in which the team hadn't been considered a favorite for a title.
"It's pretty special. That's the goal every year -- to go the White House next season. It's going to be fun to just take it all in. An exciting time," Dustin Pedroia said.
Obama said the Red Sox win was "therapeutic medicine for the whole city" and an "amazing" ending.

At Kepler's Books, we had several people in the bookstore doing their holiday shopping when the lights went out once and then twice.
Luckily, everyone was in a good mood. Customers were very sweet and lingered under the romantic glow of the emergency lights. Several people used their phones as flashlights and browsed the shelves in the dark! And, we were able to ring customers out on the wireless terminals. A twist on holiday shopping fun!

I live by Live Oak and Crane in downtown. I received an automated call from PG&E at 7:32p last night about a power outage, however, I still had power so it seemed strange. THEN my power went out a few minutes later. It was restored at around 3:30 a.m. As the article mentions, impeccable timing. Happy Mayan Long Count Calendar New Epoch's Day everybody!

Ditto the thanks to the first responders: PGE linemen, police and fire.
Good organized, hardworking men, all!
PGE corporate needs to quit cutting costs year round, and do more preventative maintenance during the rest of the year, such as tree trimming, more pole maintenance, etc..., imo. Too much cost cutting leads to outages in the most minor storms. Unacceptable.

To summarize, if we continue on the course we are on we will fail. If we increase our presence and the foreign footprint we will increase the flow of nationalists into suicide bomber missions and fail. And if we retreat or withdraw, terrorists will retake, set up terror training camps and we fail.
Certainly this is a most difficult conundrum. I can see now why Pres. Obama took 25 minutes out his Olympic journey to meet with our commander.
I don't suppose the villagers along the countryside notice the American lack of commitment shown by our Commander and Chief, while troops are in harm's way, taking several weeks to re-evaluate our commitment to their security and freedom.
One reason the Iraq surge worked was that the people of Anbar for example saw a) an American President not hedge, flinch or waiver with all the setbacks, b) got re-elected by the American people in spite of it all, and then c) raised up the commitment to win - noticeably - at ground level.

Midkine (MDK) activates the PI3K pathway and induces anti-apoptotic activity, in turn enhancing the survival of tumors.
Therefore, the inhibition of MDK is considered a potential strategy for cancer therapy. We have identified a novel small molecule compound (iMDK) that targets MDK. iMDK inhibited the cell growth of H441 lung adenocarcinoma cells that harbor an oncogenic KRAS mutation and H520 squamous cell lung cancer cells, but did not affect the growth of MDK-negative adenocarcinoma cells or normal lung cells. Inhibition of MDK with iMDK provides a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of lung cancers that are driven by MDK.

On Jan 2, 2014, we retained our Outperform recommendation on
Synovus Financial Corporation
). We are encouraged by the company's efforts to reduce operating
costs and implement strategies to broaden its loan portfolio and
increase non-interest income.
Why the Reiteration?
Synovus' initiatives to reduce expenses and streamline its
processes are commendable. Such measures are expected to aid the
company's bottom-line growth amid a tepid economic environment.
Additionally, the company's disposal of distressed assets is
expected to strengthen its balance sheet, improve asset quality
and enhance future earnings.
On Oct 22, 2013, Synovus reported a whopping 100% rise in
earnings per share to 4 cents per share in the third quarter of
2013 from the year-ago quarter period. Lower non-interest
expenses and a significant improvement in credit quality were
tailwinds for the quarter.
Also, in Jul 2013, Synovus repaid the bailout money taken from
the government during the financial crisis. The company
repurchased $968 million of its Series A Preferred Stock, which
were issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury as part of
Synovus' participation in the Troubled Asset Relief Program
(TARP). After settling the TARP obligation, we expect Synovus to
deploy its capital through dividend hikes and share repurchases,
which will further enhance investors' confidence in the stock.
Following the release of third-quarter results, the Zacks
Consensus Estimate for 2013 as well as 2014 remained stable at 14
cents and 19 cents, respectively, over the past 60 days. Synovus
now has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
Other Stocks That Warrant a Look
Some better-ranked stocks in the same sector include
Capital City Bank Group Inc.
First Bancorp
) and
State Bank Financial Corporation
). All of these carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Cassarino resigns from Board of AldermenStaff Report | March 21,2014Alderman John Cassarino has submitted a letter of resignation.
Cassarino, the former mayor and board president who rejoined the board last year after several years away from city politics, wrote that he had "been distracted by some unexpected medical and physical problems, as well as some important family obligations," rendering him unable to devote the appropriate time and energy to the position.
Should the board accept his resignation when it next meets, it will fall to Mayor Christopher Louras to appoint someone to fill out the remainder of the two-year term.MORE IN This Just InRichard Rivers has settled his lawsuit against the Vermont State Fair.

Arkansas Officials Revise Forecast, Surplus Figures
Arkansas finance officials are predicting the state will end the next fiscal year with a $13.8 million surplus. The Department of Finance and Administration on Wednesday released its revised forecast for the current and next fiscal year.
The agency revised the forecast for the current year upward by $38.2 million and next year's by $10 million. Arkansas' fiscal year begins July 1. The department said the revised forecast factors in about $10 million in revenue the state will lose in the coming fiscal year through a package of tax cuts lawmakers approved during this year's session.
The $4.9 billion forecast for the coming fiscal year is expected to fund all three categories of the state's budget and an $18.9 million "Rainy Day Fund," with a $13.8 million in surplus left.
