Rising Republican star Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is speaking out against same-sex marriage in robocalls being sent to voters in states deciding the issue at the ballot and presidential election swing states, according to an anti-gay group.
The National Organization for Marriage, one of the major groups opposing marriage equality, included Rubio in a press release as among those making calls against same-sex marriage along with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Focus on the Family co-founder James Dobson.
According to NOM, calls will be made in both English and Spanish and will target voters “across the political spectrum who favor retaining the definition of marriage” as one man, one woman. NOM said a recording of the calls wasn’t available upon request from the Washington Blade, and Rubio’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment on the senator’s participation.
Rubio’s opposition to same-sex marriage is well known, although he contrasts with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on the issue by not supporting a Federal Marriage Amendment. As a senator, Rubio has voted against an LGBT-inclusive reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act and doesn’t co-sponsor any pro-LGBT bills.

Brian Brown, NOM’s president, touted the campaign as “the largest national mobilization of traditional marriage voters in history” and said it would reach 10 million voters across the nation.
“Even in these tough economic times, people know that the stability of the family is crucial and the need to preserve the institution of marriage has never been greater,” Brown said. “These calls from leaders in public life will remind voters to go to the polls, to protect marriage, and to support public officials who will do the same.”
Brown predicted that Election Day will ”mark a triumph for marriage and family” as result of efforts his organization has undertaken, which include advertising and other mobilization efforts.
NOM says it has allocated $500,000 for the campaign, which involves robocalls to homes in Maine, Maryland, Washington State — where marriage will be on the ballot — as well as Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania, which are considered swing states in the presidential election. Jen Campbell, a NOM spokesperson, told the Washington Blade a decision hasn’t yet been made on which states will receive which calls and Minnesota wasn’t included because robocalls aren’t allowed there.
Fred Sainz, vice president of communications for the Human Rights Campaign, criticized the calls and predicted they would result in NOM winning more opponents than supporters.
“I’m sure these calls will be full of the last minute lies that NOM trots out during every campaign,” Sainz said. “It’s their stock in trade. But we’re confident that fair-minded Americans will reject the messages. No doubt there will be a fair number of ‘unsubscribes’ in the process.”
For its part, HRC has launched its own campaign involving robocalls to re-elect President Obama and other pro-LGBT candidates in addition to winning marriage equality at the ballot.
According to HRC, the robocalls feature Chad Griffin, president of HRC. They went out Friday and additional calls in Iowa and Massachusetts are scheduled for Monday. Sainz said an audio recording of the calls wasn’t available.
“We felt it was important to mobilize the nation’s LGBT community as well as our fair-minded allies on behalf of the president’s re-election as well as other candidates and ballot measures important to us,” Sainz said.

Where did my baby go?!
I'm one of those parents who takes a gazillion kid photos on my iPhone (aren't we all) and it's so full now that I need to delete old ones every time I want to capture the next too-cute toddler thing he's doing.
Inevitably, I become captivated by those old pictures, those fleeting moments of early motherhood with a squishy newborn in too-big jumpsuits; the first smile; the snuggles in bed with nowhere to be. I look wistfully at his teeny-ness, and feel where I was then; consumed by doing things 'right' while fumbling with my own sense of who I was on -647 hours sleep, like an adrenalin-charged deer in the headlights.
I came up for air at some point in the first year as I realised that to be the connected, conscious parent I wanted to be I'd have to work through some of my own stuff and take care of my own needs too. Fancy that!
This little spiritual teacher of mine is now a walking, talking person with a cheekiness and confidence that is irresistible. Sure, he pushes buttons, but they are MY buttons, not his, which I try to remember when he spits it because his banana is peeled too far down, or won't brush his teeth, or 'interrupts' me when I'm trying to do the dishes.
And so I take a breath and remind myself that just like those old photos show, these moments are fleeting too. I let go of the list, the dishes, and horsey ride around the house. And roar like a dinosaur. And maybe stick some undies on my head for good measure! (I'll do anything for a laugh)
What do you do to get out of your head and connect with your kids?

Be the first to ask a question about this.


When it was first announced that Skype would be coming to BlackBerry 10 back in January, it got many people excited but the question at the time was will it be native, or would it be an Android port. That question was then answered via the Skype website itself. It was going to be an Android port. While many complained it was a port, others gladly downloaded it but it was buggy to say the least. Updates were pushed out to make things smoother but you still can't beat a native app.
A Skype update has just dropped and with it comes a very nice UI and is running a lot smoother than previous versions. It's still an Android port but it is a nice change. You can check out our quick demo of the update. However, is there a native Skype app coming? If you notice, in BlackBerry World, it is called Skype (Preview). Preview being the operative word here. Giving us BlackBerry 10 users a little peek of what's to come. A tweet today from Brian Zubert, Manager of Developer Relations at BlackBerry hinted that a native Skype app could be on its way. If this is true, it is certainly welcome with open arms. Skype is used a lot here by the whole of the Mobile Nations Team, so a native Skype app, that would run slicker and smoother than the Android port does is definitely something we want.
Brian does add that it may be for OS 10.2 only. Hopefully, if and when it does drop, all carriers will have rolled out OS 10.2 already, so no users are left out.
I'm pretty sure this is good news all around but let's hear your thoughts CrackBerry nation. With BBM already multi-platform and knowing that Android and iOS users will eventually get BBM Voice and BBM Video, will you still need Skype? Sound off in the comments.


At the time of his TEDx Talk, Bobby Gadda (aka Tall Bike Bobby) was a bicycle activist and interactive performance artist who lived and worked in Los Angeles. For three months in 2012 he toured on a tall bike from Vancouver, BC all the way back to LA. Prior to the tour, Bobby co-founded CicLAvia, L.A.’s premiere car-free happening and worked at the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC) as a program coordinator. In this TEDx Talk Bobby shared stories from his tour, how a tall bike made it different from other bike tours, and most importantly, how he gets off that thing…

The state education committee in South Carolina has agreed to a series of new science standards for students, but has omitted a crucial clause that refers to evolution through natural selection:
[box type=”shadow”]”Conceptual Understanding: Biological evolution occurs primarily when natural selection acts on the genetic variation in a population and changes the distribution of traits in that population over multiple generations.” P. 78 of the South Carolina Academic Standards and Performance Indicators for Science.”[/box]
Senator Mike Fair, a Republican who had advocated dropping the reference, said he believed it was right to teach children other “theories”:
[box type=”shadow”]”Natural selection is a direct reference to Darwinism. And the implication of Darwinism is that it is start to finish. To teach that natural selection is the answer to origins is wrong. I don’t have a problem with teaching theories. I don’t think it should be taught as fact.”[/box]
The new standards will now be sent back for a final review.
Robert Dillon, a professor of biology at Charlestown College, said that the aim of the committee was to promote the idea that teaching evolution was controversial:
[box type=”shadow”]”They’re trying to make evolution appear controversial, they’re trying to make it somehow different. Well, it is controversial, but the controversy is political or religious, it’s not scientific. It’s this richly symbolic situation.”[/box]
This is yet another attempt by Christian fundamentalists to pollute the minds of children with pseudoscience based on superstitious claims. It is part of an ongoing campaign to promote the false idea that the United States is a Christian nation. Every time one of these attempts has been challenged in court, they have been defeated and labelled as blatantly unconstitutional.
One of the most significant of these decisions came in 2005, when a school board in Pennsylvania changed its biology curriculum so that intelligent design would be taught as an alternative theory to evolution. The decision was successfully challenged by a coalition of groups who argued that the changes were unconstitutional. Judge John E. Jones III ruled that “the secular purposes claimed by the Board amount to a pretext for the Board’s real purpose, which was to promote religion in the public school classroom, in violation of the Establishment Clause.”
It is not only wrong but also wildly irresponsible to lie to children. If Americans want to teach their children that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old and was created by God, they are free to do so in the privacy of their own home or their place of worship. However the US Constitution is very clear: a religious worldview cannot be promoted in public places and on the taxpayer’s dime.

According to a press release of Sochi Olympics, a light rail system was originally proposed which will span 36 km, but eventually a Russian-style light metro system has been opted. After Moscow's Butovskaya Line and Saint Petersburg's Nadzemny Express, the Sochi Light Metro will be Russia's third light metro, among 11 Russian rail rapid transit systems altogether.
The estimated construction budget is $758,8 million. The system will consist of three interconnected lines, with a total of 86.4 km of track and 24 stations running in a mixture of underground, mountain tunnels, elevated, and at-grade construction:
The Sochi Light Metro will operate three-car Rusich trains at headways of four minutes. The total number of trains is expected to be 80 (160-240 cars). At approximately 800 passengers per train with cruise speeds of 60-70 km/h, the Sochi Light Metro is projected to accommodate a maximum system-wide capacity of 70,000 passengers per hour.

Our roasted broccoli and feta flatbreads are full of bold flavours and bright colours. If using different types of beets, separate them when roasting and tossing to keep the colors from bleeding. Our vegetarian green goddess and red devil dips are a great way to brighten up a summer entertaining spread.

Education is supposed to be the great equalizer. That adage is losing currency as Mayor Vincent C. Gray and Chancellor Kaya Henderson announced the closing of 15 facilities over two years -- many in low-income communities.
That action and other questionable policies appear to be creating three separate and unequal systems of public education: quality traditional schools, charters and crummy institutions in low-income neighborhoods. The achievement gap between low-income students and other DCPS students illustrates the problem.
"The gap has widened, in some cases by as much as 50 percent," said education expert Mary Levy, who analyzed National Assessment of Educational Progress test scores from 2003 through 2012.
Levy found, for example, a 29 percent gap in reading scores of low-income fourth-graders and other DCPS students between 2007 and 2012. The gap for math was 74 percent.
"To see that happening is distressing," said Levy.
It isn't what reform advocates envisioned when they lent their support five years ago to mayoral control of the city's public education apparatus.
Education wastelands are developing in some low-income communities as more and more schools are closed. Together with the underfunding of its public university -- University of the District of Columbia -- the city is aiding the expansion of a permanent underclass, populated by the minimally educated and the functionally illiterate.
Melissa Salmanowitz said, "DCPS will reinvest funds from [closed] schools to improve programming and equity across the District. The goal is to use funds and resources in a more efficient and strategic way in our schools."
Councilman David Catania, chairman of the Committee on Education and Libraries, said he is concerned about the achievement gap: "Do we need to go to mandatory summer school? Do we need longer school days? I think yes."
He said parents should be encouraged to have higher expectations for themselves and their children. "There shouldn't be near universal support for a school that has a 36 percent proficiency rate [or lower] in reading," he said.
Catania has identified funding and instructional equity as a priority for his committee. "We are going to get to the bottom of the budget," which is $800 million for 2013. He said he will watch how much savings are generated from closings and where that money goes.
"The dollars have to be tied to academic achievement," he added.
The city should reconsider its current funding formula, said Levy. When Michelle Rhee became chancellor and Henderson became deputy chancellor, they decided to end DCPS' practice of using local funds to provide additional support for low-income students. Instead, the money was spent for "comprehensive staffing." Each school was supposed to receive sufficient staff to satisfy academic needs.
When Henderson released her initial proposal to close 20 schools last year, it was clear several institutions had more administrative staff than instructional staff. One reason she gave for the "consolidations" is that DCPS' budget couldn't support enhanced staffing and academic programs at those schools.
What happened? Sounds like it's time for a forensic audit.

Although the First Amendment covers public high school and college journalists as well as their professional counterparts, the student press often faces censorship the professional press does not. When student media are suppressed, the Student Press Law Center tries to be an ally to those who are censored.
“Student journalism is inherently different (from professional journalism) because students operate in a climate where their publications usually owe their existence to the very people they must write about — the administrators and/or the student government leadership at the school,” said Frank LoMonte, director of the Student Press Law Center. “Unless the publication has complete financial independence from the school, students have to do their jobs with the knowledge that they may be antagonizing the people with life-or-death control over their publications.”
The SPLC, founded in Arlington, Va., in 1974, works to ensure that student journalists have the legal resources necessary to fight censorship or withstand legal challenges. The center was launched after a study funded by the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial found students were losing interest in journalism because their work was being censored. Since then, the SPLC has been “the nation’s only legal assistance agency devoted exclusively to educating high school and college journalists about the rights and responsibilities embodied in the First Amendment and supporting the student news media in their struggle to cover important issues free from censorship,” according to its Web site.
Around 2,500 people contact the SPLC each year, using its free legal advice and educational resources. While LoMonte says that some student-speech challenges fall into gray areas, most of the cases in which SPLC takes part involve clear violations of students’ free-speech rights.
“What we see time and time again are students being censored because their journalism will ‘make the school look bad’ or because they are taking on topics that will offend the moral standards of some people in the larger community,” he said. “While professional media do have to deal with community pressures and advertiser pressures, their editors ultimately get to make the decision whether certain editorial content is so important that it is worth offending some readers or even losing some advertisers. Students often are not being allowed to make those decisions. Instead, the principal or superintendent is deciding that entire topics are off-limits for discussion, which takes the judgment out of the editors’ hands where it belongs.”
Legal services that the SPLC provides in cases such as these include free legal advice via telephone or letter on media-law topics, case and litigation analysis, revision and evaluation of rules governing student publications, friend-of-the-court briefs for students involved in litigation, and referrals to pro bono attorneys located near students facing legal issues. The SPLC’s Attorney Referral Network has nearly 150 lawyers nationwide.
The Attorney Referral Network has helped people such as Karen Bosley, adviser for the Viking News at Ocean County College in New Jersey. Bosley was removed in 2006 from her position after the newspaper published articles criticizing the school’s administration. In the 2007 SPLC Annual Report, Bosley wrote that with the legal representation secured by the SPLC, her students filed a lawsuit against the college that resulted in a federal judge’s reinstating her as adviser.
In another success story, SPLC attorneys provided counsel for a college student at the State University of New York-Purchase who was arrested for taking news photos of a campus drug raid, and all charges were dismissed.
The SPLC also filed an amicus curiae brief in 2007 in support of student Joseph Frederick in Morse v. Frederick, the “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” case. Although Frederick did not win, the Supreme Court reaffirmed the principles of Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School Dist. that students retain First Amendment rights while at school.
Although the SPLC uses the services of lawyers from around the country, much of its work is done by a small staff in Arlington. Before becoming director in January, LoMonte, a graduate of the University of Georgia School of Law, was an attorney at an energy and telecommunications firm. Earlier, LoMonte worked for nine years as a bureau chief with the Morris News Service in Atlanta. At the SPLC, LoMonte has moved to expand the nonprofit’s work, including introducing a new-media advisory board to help with issues related to new forms of news dissemination.
“We need to have media companies, the legal communities, and people in new media … we need all of those industries who depend on the First Amendment and who hire young people who are creative to play a part in the SPLC,” LoMonte told the First Amendment Center Online.
The board includes 17 top media lawyers from firms across the country who have agreed to promote the SPLC and serve as a resource to students on specialized cases.
“It’s a group that I think very much agrees with and supports our work,” LoMonte said. “Having this committee will help us to get our word around and help us raise our profile.”
LoMonte also wants to expand student journalism content on the SPLC’s Web site.
“One of the big problems that we have today … when we take First Amendment cases to court is that judges are looking at these cases and seeing students who are engaging in what looks like frivolous and insubstantial speech. I want judges to recognize that there is excellent student journalism being done, and that when courts punish the people who are using frivolous speech they are also punishing those who are doing excellent journalism,” LoMonte said. “I want to have examples of that journalism on our Web site.”
The SPLC’s Web site, www.splc.org, has legal research, news and educational resources about student-press issues. In the online Legal Research Center, the SPLC has information available on press freedom and censorship, access to records, meetings and places, Internet and online media, libel and privacy, protecting sources, copyright and advertising.
The organization also maintains a law library of court decisions and statutes important to student journalists, and it runs the SPLC Virtual Lawyer, a program that addresses specific questions students and advisers may submit.
Additionally, the SPLC Report, the center’s magazine, published three times a year, is available online and highlights news and advice in various categories such as high school censorship, legislation, Internet access, libel and privacy, and college censorship. New articles concerning student-press issues related to the SPLC’s work are posted regularly on the Web site, as well. Other resources include legal guides for media advisers and students facing censorship, and media-law Powerpoint presentations. The SPLC also has a monthly series of podcasts discussing up-to-date controversies involving student press.
Recently the SPLC sponsored “Your Voice, Your Freedom” — a campaign to increase student awareness and involvement in the organization. Students and teachers were encouraged to create their own Web pages, T-shirts and school programs using SPLC resources.
LoMonte says this type of student involvement is vital to the organization’s effectiveness.
“When students put their time and effort into building the organization, they become part owners of the organization for life. They will be loyal supporters. Students know much better than us what is interesting and appealing to people their age. This campaign was one way to keep them engaged in the work of the SPLC,” he said.
As technology changes the way news is disseminated, LoMonte hopes — with the help of students — to make sure the SPLC’s work remains relevant and useful.
“We’re at a really challenging time in journalism when so much is changing the way people gather and get their news,” he said. “SPLC needs to be changing along with it.”

HUMBOLDT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WLUC) - Residents of Humboldt Township celebrated the opening of the brand new Black River Bridge Thursday.
Builders, engineers, and Humboldt Township board members cut the ribbon, opening up the new Black River Bridge to the public.
"This one is a culvert type, with earth and gravel and then pavement right over,” said Kurt Taavola, director of engineering with the Marquette County Road Commission. “So you don't really even see the bridge per say."
The public then got a chance to walk across the bridge, and the builders were presented a key to the community. The previous Black River Bridge had been up since 1928 and had a number of structural deficiencies.
“The old type was an actual bridge with a concrete deck, which was rougher, you felt the joins and that kind of stuff,” said Taavola. “So this one is now wider and just an improvement that way."
Normally, a project like this wouldn't get done without a lot of fundraising. Luckily, the federal local bridge program, and the state of Michigan paid for nearly all of the $740,000 bridge.
"With that local bridge program, it was 85% federal funds, 10% state funds, and then 5% local match, which was paid by the Road Commission," said Taavola.
Humboldt Township was able to pitch in to pay for paving of the road leading up to the bridge.
"We did a separate project in combination with Humboldt Township and the Road Commission where we paved the approach from County Road 601 to the bridge this year, so that's a big improvement to the road too," said Taavola.
Construction was complete in less than four months, and community members are excited to have a safer bridge, that is easier to cross.
"This area was homesteaded many years ago, and there are a lot of people still living out here, so it's important to have good roads and a bridge," said Thomas Prophet, Humboldt Township Supervisor.
The community hopes this new bridge will last for generations to come.

Schumacher in coma, â€˜criticalâ€™ after France ski accident
30 December 2013 | Sports
The retired seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher was in a critical condition yesterday after suffering severe brain trauma in a skiing accident in the French Alps, doctors said.
The German racing legend, who turns 45 on Friday, had been skiing off-piste with his 14-year-old son in the upmarket Meribel resort when he fell and hit his head on a rock.
He was â€œsuffering a serious brain trauma with coma on his arrival, which required an immediate neurosurgical operationâ€, according to the hospital in the south-eastern French city of Grenoble where he is being treated.
â€œHe remains in a critical condition.â€
Shortly after the accident Meribel resort director Christophe Gernigon-Lecomte said Schumacher, who had been wearing a helmet, was â€œconscious but a little agitatedâ€.
But when Schumacher fell into coma, doctors realised the damage was worse than initially feared.
Two mountain police officers who gave first aid to Schumacher said he was suffering â€œsevere cranial traumaâ€ when they got to him and a helicopter was brought in to evacuate him within 10 minutes.
A renowned Parisian neurologist, Dr Gerard Saillant, arrived at the Grenoble hospital in a police car to help take charge of the famous patient.
Schumacherâ€™s wife Corinna was at his side with his two children, the hospital said.
The hospital statement was signed by the facilityâ€™s neurosurgeon, the professor in charge of its anaesthesia/revival unit, and the hospitalâ€™s deputy director.
News of Schumacherâ€™s accident stunned the Formula One community and his former teammates joined thousands on Twitter in wishing him a speedy recovery.
â€œMy thoughts are with Michael Schumacher at this tough time... Michael, more than anyone, has the strength to pull through this,â€ tweeted British F1 driver Jenson Button.
Schumacherâ€™s former teammate at Benetton Martin Brundle wrote on Twitter: â€œCome on Michael, give us one of those race stints at pure qualifying pace to win through, like you used to. You can do it.â€
Brazilian Formula One racing driver Felipe Massa said he was â€œpraying for God to protect you my brother!! I wish you a speedy recovery Michael.â€

The Apple Watch didn't give the wearables market a significant boost like some analysts hoped for, but there is plenty of great growth opportunity thanks to virtual reality. Even though there have been very few VR product launches this year, shipment volumes will reach 14 million units in 2016, according to TrendForce's Topology Research Institute (TRI).
VR video games cost less to create than VR movies, and with the appeal of audiovisual in regards to VR, there is huge sales potential. Game developers have plenty of incentives, such as low cost and minimal time investment, to create VR game titles - and it seems like only a matter of time before VR-centric games hit the market.
"VR hardware's market positioning is clearer than smartwatches," said Jason Tsai, wearable device analyst at TrendForce. "Since VR device's strongest feature is providing users with an immersive audiovisual experience, its early application will be related to gaming."
For those of us waiting, it looks like plenty of options will be available: TrendForce points out products from Disney, HTC, NVIDIA, Oculus, Samsung and Sony - all major companies with deep pockets, actively engaged in VR.

The 76ers have waived JaVale McGee.
McGee, oddly enough, came out and said he wanted to be a "mentor" to the young players on the Sixers after arriving at the trade deadline. Just a few weeks late, McGee will be packing his bags, hoping he picks up with a contender. The seven-footer reportedly will not have to give back any money in a buyout, and is owed the remainder of his $11.2 million contract, along with $12 million next year. Analysis: Spencer Silva

Canada Day is behind us, which can only mean one thing: the year is half-over, and it’s time to get half-retrospective. With that in mind, we’ve assembled a crew of Ampersand Arcade contributors to list their favourite games of 2011 thus far. Adam Volk, Matt Braga and Daniel Kaszor give their top picks.
• Adam Volk
(PS3/Xbox 360, soon for the PC)
Rockstar may be one of the most successful game developers on the planet, but that doesn’t mean the company is content to rest on its Liberty City laurels. Case in point:
L.A. Noire, a game which takes Rockstar’s now ubiquitous sandbox shooter mechanics and blends them with the more cerebral elements of a police procedural. Set in a stunning recreation of 1940s Los Angeles, the game is an exquisitely crafted Chandleresque homage to the detective genre. Fortunately, the gameplay is more than able to match the narrative, with solid action sequences mixed with clue-gathering investigations and interrogations using Rockstar’s much touted motion capture technology. Sure, some critics have dismissed the game as being light on gunplay and heavy on hardboiled dialogue, but the truth is you’d be hard pressed to find many other games this year that have the same impressively high levels of visuals, narrative and gameplay as
As part of a bruised and battered franchise that seemed on the verge of collapse, the rebooted
Mortal Kombatmay just end up becoming one of the biggest sleeper hits of 2011. With its back-to-basics approach, the game not only manages to breathe new life into an admittedly dated franchise, but offers a much needed boost to the stagnant fighting genre as a whole. While technically the ninth entry in the series, Mortal Kombat is somehow both relevant and innovative, appealing to its dwindling hardcore fan base, while also offering enough intuitive gameplay to encourage novice fighters. With its numerous game modes, options and unlockables to choose from, it may also be one of the most content rich fighting games in recent memory. As a result,
Mortal Kombatdelivers a flawless victory as one of the best fighting games in years and a surprising triple-A contender for 2011.
(PC, Soon for the Xbox 360)
With its incredibly addictive gameplay and pop culture cache,
Minecraftis well on its way to becoming one of the biggest titles of 2011. The concept is simple: wander a pixelated world made out of blocks and use them to build things. The results of course speak for themselves, with YouTube littered with the Herculean efforts of its fanatical players. 2011 is quickly become the year of
Minecraft, with the game now in Beta and an estimated 2.5 million players online. What’s more, there are now plans in the works for an international
Minecraftconvention, portable versions for the Android and iPhone, and an Xbox 360 version with Kinect support. Not bad for a game that’s not even finished yet. Let’s face it, if the game is this good in Beta, the official Gold release in November of 2011 may make
Minecraftone of the most successful indie games of all time.

Portal 2 (Mac/PC/Xbox 360/PS3)
Portalwas a game that didn’t need a sequel. Valve’s innocuous puzzle solver was intended to be a short-but-sweet experiment bundled with the already attractive Orange Box bundle. Even the game’s developers underestimated its potential. But all it took was cake, and an evil computer AI to create one of the most memorable gaming experiences in recent memory.
Portal 2returns to the familiar Aperture Science Laboratory in which the first game takes place — but things are visibly different. Years have passed. The test chambers are in a state of disrepair, having long since been co-opted by overgrown foliage and nesting birds. But there are levels of the facility we haven’t yet seen, and the game takes us deeper, into the very history of Aperture itself. Of course, GLaDOS is back, but this time joined by an ensemble cast of characters (one of which voiced by brilliant British comedian Steven Merchant). There are more puzzles — a few headscratchers to be sure — and a thoroughly enjoyable co-operative mode, but nothing particularly harder than the first. There’s also a story here, and a hilariously well-written one at that — and for some, that will be worth the price of admission alone.
The creative team behind
LittleBigPlanetsaid they wouldn’t produce a sequel unless they had a compelling story to tell. Now here we are with a second game. For the unfamiliar,
LittleBigPlanet 2is a childish and whimsical platformer, with an array of multiplayer minigames throughout. In fact, the game not only thrives on this imaginative energy, but encourages it. Users can use the game’s level creator to design their own elaborate adventures, all of which can be shared with friends online. While this was always possible in the first game, the tools have been improved, expanded and explained better this time around. That’s not to say
LittleBigPlanet 2‘s own story isn’t compelling, however; though not nearly as long as its predecessor, there is more than enough absurd platforming fun to make this one of the year’s better releases thus far.
There are few games that do retro well. It takes more than a pallet of 8-bit graphics and a chiptunes soundtrack, after all.
Jamestown, however, is not one of those games. Not to be confused with the otherwise infamous Jonestown,
Jamestowntakes place in the 17th century, where British forces have colonized the planet Mars. You also play as a sixty-year-old Sir Walter Raleigh. We are not making this up. Alt-history plot aside,
Jamestownis an incredibly addictive top-down, shoot-em-up-style arcade game, with four player local co-operative play. “Bullet hell” doesn’t even begin to describe the madness taking place on-screen, as a constant barrage of projectile-shooting enemies assault you from all sides. You have the option of playing as one of four different ships, each with a unique set of weapons and abilities. At some of the lower difficulties, the game will only take a few hours to complete, but ratchet up the difficulty level and you’ll be faced with even more bullets and more enemies. It’s fun, it’s addictive, and for an indie game,
Jamestownis incredibly well polished, especially considering the $10 pricetag (available through Steam).

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP (iPad/iPhone)
I’ve been championing this Toronto-developed indie gem since it came out in March, and will continue to do so for the conceivable future. Mixing original tunes from Juno-nominated songwriter Jim Guthrie into a beautiful pixelated world, the game isn’t especially complicated, but it evokes a story telling experience that’s more enthralling and evocative than games with a hundred times the budget. Best experienced while sipping a finger of whiskey and a good set of headphones right before bed.
Dragon Age 2 (PC/Xbox 360/PS3/Mac)
It pains me to put
Dragon Age 2here, because the game is filled with flaws, most stemming from its rushed year-and-change development cycle (
Dragon Age 1was in development for six years), but it filled my appetite for an epic character-driven story experience in ways that very few other games even attempt. Many lament that BioWare has stopped trying to create the second coming of
Ultima, but personally, I’m fine with the fact that they seem to be putting out a
Final Fantasyfor modern audiences instead. Square-Enix has certainly stopped trying to do that. That said, if the next Dragon Age is as limited in scope as this one (there was really only one large location used for the entire game), I will likely be less favourable toward it. It’s also possible that
The Witcher 2, which I haven’t finished yet, deserves this slot more.
InFAMOUS 2 (PS3)
InFAMOUSseries gets a lot of guff for being a sort of second-class game, but I can’t think of another title this year that I jumped into and played as compulsively as
InFAMOUS 2. Let’s put it this way: Aside from
Red Dead Redemption,which I pretty much forced myself to finish, I have never played any open-world game to the end except for
InFAMOUS 1 & 2. So, for those who passed by
InFAMOUS 2because you saw it was getting only okay scores, give it a try. I bet you’ll enjoy it.

Carrie Harris’ Bad Taste in Boys is only the second zombie book I’ve read. Zombies kind of gross me out, so I haven’t really imersed myself into the zombie world. But when I read the description for this, I knew I had to read it and I would just have to face my zombie fear, haha.
Boy, am I glad I read it.
Despite the dark and rather serious-looking cover, the book is quite hilarious. Ms. Harris has given Kate a great voice, one that had me smiling and laughing like a fool. Kate’s thoughts and reactions are believable, and help readers relate to and like her. In regards to the writing, the descriptions are spot-on, not over-the-top, and are quick, yet effective. The dialogue is smooth and the conversations between Kate and Aaron is never cheesy.
I really liked that Kate has two good friends by her side and that they are always there to help her no matter what. I did think Rocky’s reaction to the zombies came across as rushed and kind of unbelievable. Nonetheless, I was glad Rocky was involved and same goes for Kate’s brother.
Although the zombies have cannibalistic tendencies, they didn’t freak me out! Well, they kind of did, but not in an I’m-gonna-have-nightmares kind of way. The zombies provide a seriousness to the otherwise funny story, and I like that they’re not used in an overly dramatic manner.
All in all, I thoroughly loved Bad Taste in Boys! There are Lady Gaga and Twilight references, which made me smile even more, and I truly hope Ms. Harris revisits these characters again with a new story. She is an author to watch and she has written a fun, quirky, zombie-tastic story that many will eat up. Pun fully intended. (Please note that this doesn’t come out until July 12th)

Champion trainer Victor Cheeseman will take the fight to his Trinidadian counterparts in the Trinidad Derby set for September 24 at Santa Rosa Park in Arima, Trinidad, with Bills Incorporated-owned Voldemort.
The son of Janak out of Annabel Jane, who impressively won the Massy United Insurance Barbados Derby on August 9 will be the lone Bajan representative in T&T $500 000 (BDS$154 366) Grade I – 2 000 metres event which has a large contingent of Jamaican-bred horses.
Voldemort who finished second in the Barbados Guineas and failed to acquire a top four position in the Midsummer Creole Classic before his healthy 10/1 derby success, will be seeking to break the momentum of the Trinidad Triple Crown seeking horse Momentum whose career record stands at six wins and a second from seven starts.
Some of the obstacles in Voldemort’s way include running anticlockwise and racing on the sand for the first time; he has a record of three wins and a second from seven starts.
The Cheeseman trainee, who is due shortly to travel to the Land of the Hummingbird, is entered to compete in Saturday’s fourth race on the final day of the BTC’s second season nine race card. That race the Sale Graduates Vase Handicap will see ten other useful Barbados bred three-year-old stayers rated 70-52 going 1 800 metres.
There he will square off with the 2012 Derby winner Bandera Belle, who like Voldemort recorded an upset win in the Derby, and both won their last race on the soft track that existed.
Once again Trinidad and Tobago’s champion trainer John O’Brien commands all the attention going into this year’s Derby; as this is not first time as he finds himself in the hot seat seeking the country’s Triple Crown, a feat last achieved in 2003 by Top Of The Class.
The Jamaican-bred Momentum, who won the first two Jewels of the Trinidad Triple Crown – Easter Guineas and the Carib Brewery Midsummer Classic by two and a quarter and 11 and a quarter lengths, respectively, had his six race winning streak curtailed at the hands of Urban Knight over 1 350 metres.
He has to be given even more respect as he is a full brother to the Jamaican and Trinidadian Derby winner of 1998, Technomoto, owned by local racing tycoon Elias Haloute.
Topping the list of Jamaican contenders is the reigning horse of the year Princess Popstar who has already won at Santa Rosa taking the 1 800 metres Massy Oaks Stakes. She missed all the Jamaican classics through a torn muscle.
The twin-island republic derby will have plenty of Jamaican entrants, many of whom have felt the wrath of the Dr Rupert Indar Jr-owned colt Momentum.
For Cheeseman, presently the leading trainer, it will be another attempt at stopping the Trinidad Triple Crown quest and to avenge the poor showing by the Barbadian horses that converged on the Arima Race Course last year.
Cheeseman took his filly Nekitta, who won the first two legs of the local classics before failing to fire in the Trinidadian Derby along with the other Bajan representative in that race, Khartoum, both finishing at the rear.

Stacey Dash’s estranged husband, Jeffrey Marty, reportedly wants their marriage annulled and claims that she used “hypnotic prayer” to get him to marry her.
In court documents obtained by TMZ in a piece published Wednesday, the 53-year-old actress’ husband, who is a lawyer, claimed the “Clueless” star and her pastor allegedly used “hypnotic prayer techniques” to get him to consent to the wedding. (RELATED: Report: Stacey Dash Arrested For Alleged Domestic Violence Against Husband)
Stacey Dash’s Husband Claims He Was Hypnotized Into Marrying Her https://t.co/qwnVOmDyQ9
— TMZ (@TMZ) August 19, 2020
The “Single Ladies” star’s husband didn’t go into further detail about what he meant by “techniques” that were allegedly used on him.
Marty also reportedly shared in court docs, in response to Dash’s divorce petition, that he married her April 6, 2018, just 10 days after he claimed her pastor “unexpectedly and suddenly proclaimed that it was God’s will” they get married.
Dash’s attorney didn’t respond to the claims, but did share that she also wants the marriage annulled as soon as possible.
As previously reported, Stacey announced in April that she and her fourth husband were splitting after two years of marriage.

It all comes after Dash shared in October the two had engaged in a fight, seeming to confirm reports she had been arrested for domestic violence.

To say the city of Grandview Heights did not have a current map of storm-drain locations in the community is an understatement.
The most-recent maps dated back to 1945.
Grandview Heights High School senior Chase Gage has rectified that as part of his Eagle Scout project.
Gage has compiled a list of each storm-drain location and has ordered markers he and other scouts from Troop 73 will place at the drains.
They also will place a hanger on the door of each residence in Grandview as a reminder of the importance of following dumping laws.
"I drove every street in the city looking for storm drains," Gage said. "It took longer than I expected and I found there were more drains than I expected -- about 330. We just don't notice them day to day, but they are there."
He said he was surprised the city's maps were so out of date.
"With some of the redevelopment that's gone on (since 1945), there are more drains than were marked on that map," Gage said.
The total cost of purchasing the markers is about $1,150, he said.
"We applied for a grant, but we weren't able to get one," Gage said. "I did some fundraising, collecting about $350."
The city offered to provide $1.50 for every dollar he raised, and City Council members "were really generous" in donating their own money after he made a presentation about his project at their May 6 meeting, he said.
"With the city's help, we've got enough money to cover the cost," Gage said.
It's Gage who is helping the city, not the other way around, Mayor Ray DeGraw said.
"He's undertaken this very, very large project that benefits the city and needed to be done," DeGraw said. "We're grateful we agreed to do this project."
Gage is "a very impressive guy," DeGraw said.
"I've always had an interest in the environment, and when (Parks and Recreation Director) Sean Robey suggested this idea when I was looking for an Eagle Scout project, I knew it was something I wanted to do," Gage said.
"As I'm graduating from Grandview, it was a way for me to give something back to the community," he said.
To qualify as an Eagle Scout, Gage must complete his project before his 18th birthday, which is June 27.
"I'm lucky I was born so late," he said. "We'll be able to get it done in plenty of time."
Two other members of Troop 73 recently earned Eagle Scout awards.
Luke Snider's project was to refurbish the fence at the high school stadium.
Kyle Modlich built three park benches for Tarpy Woods Park in Marble Cliff.
Both Snider and Modlich will attend Ohio State University next year and plan to study engineering.
Gage will attend Wittenberg University, but still is deciding on a major.
