The Disney-Marvel deal: What happens to the games?

Disney says they will re-evaluate Marvel's bevy of video game deals with publishers as they move closer to expiration, representatives from the company said in a conference call. The call was part of Disney's announced acquistion of the giant comic book publisher for $4 billion. The deal would give Disney rights to all of Marvel's characters, including Spider-Man, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. Bob Iger, Disney's president and CEO, sized up Marvel's game deals as "smart licensing agreements with some of the best video game manufacturers in the business. Among the publishers currently working with Marvel: Activision (Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Spider-Man), Sega (Iron-Man, Incredible Hulk), THQ (Marvel Super Hero Squad and Gazillion Entertainment (Marvel Universe). Disney says they won't rule out a mixed games portfolio consisting of Marvel titles licensed to other publishers and in-house creations. Known mostly for creating titles based on the Disney stable of characters, the company's Disney Interactive studio has begun branching out to a broader audience with the release of off-road racer Pure and the Burnout-inspired driving game Split-Second, arriving next year. As Marvel's current deals near expiration, Iger says the Marvel acquisition gives Disney "the luxury of at that time considering what's best for the company from a financial perspective, from a quality perspective and an exposure perspective." Activision's arrangement with Marvel ends in 2017. Both the Sega and THQ partnerships have been described as multi-year. According to a Wall Street Journal report, Marvel's 2009 deal with Gazillion on a series massively multiplayer online games is for 10 years.

Norris shelled as Astros lose to Diamondbacks


It took Bud Norris less than an inning Sunday afternoon to give up more runs than the Astros had allowed in their previous three games, leaving a tremendous crater for his teammates against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Astros’ bullpen and offense tried to rally back, but they still lost 7-5 as they couldn’t overcome the six-run deficit they had after two innings. Attempting to complete a three-game sweep, the Astros were down 5-0 after one inning and 6-0 after two while seeing their four-game winning streak end.

According to Wikipedia, a howdah is a howdah, or houdah, is a carriage which is positioned on the back of an elephant, or occasionally some other animal, used most often in the past to carry wealthy people or for use in hunting or warfare. It was also a symbol of wealth for the owner, and as a result were decorated with expensive gems.

Lotto Winner Unchanged by Money

A Central Kentucky woman who won $200,000 in a Powerball drawing two weeks ago was playing again for Wednesday's $250 million jackpot - but Liz Ison tells ABC 36 News she wonders if winning all that money might be too much trouble.

Ison works at the Harrodsburg Herald, and says she has no plans to go part-time or give it up. She says she regularly plays Pick 3 and scratch-off games, and wouldn't have played Powerball that evening if she hadn't won a dollar with a scratch-off ticket.

"I told my husband, 'I won $200-thousand,' and he said, 'Honey, don't get excited, you haven't won that much.' He said just go to the store and see. So I walked into the store and they told me they had a $200,000 Powerball winner and I said, "Well, it was me.'"

Ison says she banked the money that day and later put it into certificates of deposit for her granddaughters, Hailey and Monica. She said she would probably use a bit of it for the food bank she began at Harrodsburg's Centennial Baptist Church.

"There's nothing I need," she said with a smile. "I'm just me like I was before I won it."

Chun Yi

Chun Yi, the programme advises us, was the name of a child brought by his mother to a temple where the disciplines of kung fu would eventually turn him into a Better Person, wise, strong and dedicated to peace. Chun Yi , the kung fu show at the Coliseum, did not, alas, have quite the same effect on me. My resistance to kitsch is pretty high, but this rampaging outburst of eye-popping acrobatics, glutinous soundtrack and nugatory drama, of men maltreating each other in approved breaking-slabs-of-concrete- on-bare-chests fashion and generally showing that nothing can hurt them, tested my ability to withstand such jollities to the limit. Chun Yi: The Legend of Kung Fu , has been exported from Beijing in recent years. It is a frenzy of garish lighting effects, physical bravura of an extraordinary kind, a narrative that would curdle the milk of human kindness in someone of sweeter temperament than mine, and it boasts every trick of the theatre save nudity and a shipwreck. The theme, obligingly given to us in English by what purports to be a monk instructing a child (and the show is well-totted), relates how kung fu, like scouting, will educate a lad, shape a man and bring about moral and physical betterment. So we follow a small boy, wrenched from his mother for his own good, in the predictable journey from apprenticeship to dazzling muscular skills, to temptation - which involves swinging through the air with the beloved and a small but noxious outbreak of dance - and then redemption through gymnastics. Impossible feats of derring-do abound, and costuming is as far over the top as it is possible to go without looking like a drag queen. A recorded and saccharin score drowns us in pentatonic syrup and wailing voices, and generally affects the digestion badly. The performers are stunning in their abilities, leaping and turning somersaults in the air, kicking the while at anything that impedes their progress. Swords and staves are brandished, and acrobatics rule, extraordinary and thrilling. The lighting is manic. Snow falls at one moment; soap bubbles and a funeral and dragons and an oracular commentary are there to make matters more and more unlikely. Inscrutable. Hysterical. Not to be tried at home.

Obama Health Care Logo design

ugust is do-or-die month for both President Barack Obama and his hopes of overhauling U.S. healthcare, and the battle will be fought not in Washington, but across the country. With lawmakers gone from Washington for a month and much of the reform plan still to be written when they return, the rancorous battle spreads to lawmakers’ town meetings, television and radio, and grass-roots campaigns. Obama’s own tactics have contributed to the free-flowing and expensive exchange of ideas. Although he has set an overall goal of expanding insurance coverage to the nearly 46 million uninsured and vowed to hold down skyrocketing medical costs, he has left the details to lawmakers in the Democratic-controlled House and Senate. Democrats will make their case to the public with stories of patients bankrupted by costs that insurers would not cover, hundreds lining up for charity, and people in need forced to delay life-saving treatments. Republicans and others will try to stop Obama from achieving his No. 1 domestic goal with a counter-argument: Why should Americans think that any plan conceived in Washington will in any way improve the medical attention they get now? Outspoken in their support of free enterprise, Republicans accuse the Democrats of trying to “socialize” medicine — anathema to the many Americans who oppose government intervention in their lives. Obama vowed on Wednesday to get a reform bill through Congress this year even without Republicans on board.

Denial of Service Attack Knocks Twitter Offline

Twitter was shut down for hours Thursday morning by what it described as an ongoing denial of service attack. In a one sentence statement on its status blog, Twitter said, “We are defending against a denial-of-service attack, and will update status again shortly.” The outage appeared to begin mid-morning, EST, and affected users around the world. In the early minutes of the outage, we confirmed it in two boroughs of New York and received word that it was down in Brazil as well. At that point, Twitter apparently didn’t know what had hit it. (The status blog read, at that point, “Site is down - We are determining the cause and will provide an update shortly.”) The world won’t come to a standstill as a result of the Twitter outage, of course, but its impact will surely be felt. The popular short messaging service has become an integral part of the communications ecosystem — our first question was, how do you confirm Twitter is down without Twitter? — and from its millions of inveterate users, we expect an outpouring of pent-up Tweeting when this gets sorted out. An extended outage could have an impact on the spread of information — videos, music, and articles like this one to say nothing of a growing number of businesses which depend on the service. We experienced a seemingly unrelated problem when accessing the Twitter blog through Google. The page greeted one Wired.com employee with an error message beginning “We’re sorry… but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.” Another Wired.com employee was able to access the page as usual, with no virus warning. But with other users encountering the same error message, we wondered whether today’s Twitter outage was somehow related to Google’s virus warning. Judging from Twitter’s admission that it is under a denial-of-service attack, that appears to have been the case. Twitter hasn’t had a significant outage since May 8, and has shown improved reliability since last year, when such outages were a regular occurrence. The last scheduled maintenance we know about was on June 16 — delayed by a day at the urging of the US State Department. This was during the height of the anti-government protests in Iran, much information was being disseminated to the world via Twitter, and the maintenance window, in the middle of the night in California, would have been prime daylight hours in Tehran.

Eye Twitch

Does your eyes feel so annoying sometimes or what they so called eye twitch. This is very alarming especially if you loved to read because it could be very disturbing. But what is an eye twitch anyway. Eye twitch is when your eyelid muscle contracts involuntarily which may result in a fluttering of your vision. It could lead to a very serious illness if not treated immediately. You have to be aware that in some extreme cases eye surgery can be necessary for eyelid twitching treatment or an eyelid surgery if you begin to have issues that affect your daily life. Some people even experience blindness. So if you care for your eyes, be cautious.

Brush fire burns in northeast Los Angeles

A brush fire burning on a brush-covered ridge between the city of Los Angeles and suburban Glendale has grown to about 40 acres. Los Angeles fire spokesman Devin Gales says an unknown number of homes are potentially threatened in the Eagle Rock area near the interchange of State Route 134 and Route 2. A Glendale fire official says voluntary evacuations are under way and there are discussions about making the move mandatory. Helicopters are making water-dropping runs on the blazing slopes of the Verdugo Mountains. Winds are light but temperatures remain in the 90s. Gales says there were three other spot fires in the same general area.

Featured Post Get to Know: Neftali Feliz

Anytime anybody anywhere throws a 100 mph fastball, it creates a Sidd Finch-like buzz. What happens when a real-life pitcher clocks in at 101 mph? Someone should ask Texas pitcher Neftali Feliz. He hit that magical speed on the final pitch of his two perfect-inning performance Monday against Oakland. As you can see here, it's not often a pitcher clears the 100-mph mark in their first big-league appearance. The Rangers top-rated prospect also finished with four strikeouts, in case you were wondering. Fangraphs.com charted Feliz's outing. It appears to be an unstoppable combination of two-seam and four-seam fastballs with a few curveballs mixed in. So is this kid the real deal, or is he just another reliever rocking a "Dora the Explorer" backpack? Can he help your fantasy team right now? Why not? Feliz will take the same route as fellow prospect Derek Holland, who started in the bullpen earlier this season before taking on a spot in the rotation. Holland has taken a few bruises, but he also is coming off his best start of the season. Rangers manager Ron Washington hasn't made it clear which path Feliz will take. Feliz split time between the bullpen and rotation at Triple-A Oklahoma City. He was 3-5 with a 3.86 ERA and 55 Ks in 60.2 innings over 13 starts; 1-1 with a 2.16 ERA and 20 Ks in 16.2 innings as a reliever. Feliz obviously would have more fantasy value as a starter, but the Rangers are booked at the moment. He could push out Holland or Tommy Hunter. For now, Feliz will likely pitch out of the bullpen in a seventh-inning or setup role. The more Feliz dazzles with that 100-and-then-some-fastball, however, the greater the pressure will be on Washington to put him in the rotation. Don't be surprised if Feliz reels in three or four September starts as a result. From there, file away what Baseball America had to say in their 2009 Prospect Handbook. Armed with that advice, storing Feliz isn't a bad idea. Just make sure it fits within your roster limits. Setup men have only so much value for so long in leagues that do not reward holds. And when you get a chance, tune into a Rangers' game. You don't see a 100-mph pitch every day.

The House has approved an extra $2 billion for the program already. Now it is just waiting for Senate approval. Several Senators are saying they will not back the program. Many conservatives see it as another government bailout that will have long-term consequences. Environmentally speaking, the program is doing a lot for the fuel economy of the US as consumers replace gas guzzlers with more efficient cars.

Access Denied

In the contemporary imagination, the chastity belt holds a place in close kinship with medieval devices of torture. As a mechanical restraint upon the human organism, the chastity belt exists as an object of curiosity alongside the iron maiden and the rack. Unlike the others, however, the chastity belt is meant to restrict pleasure rather than inflict pain. As part of Metal-Urge, the Tacoma Art Commission’s summer-long celebration of the metal arts, the gallery space known simply as Mineral has invited a variety of regional artists to create their own version of the chastity belt. The resulting show, entitled “Entrance Denied: the Art of the Chastity Belt,” opened July 18 and runs through Sept. 5. The walls and display cases within Mineral’s cozy space are filled with a wide variety of “chastity belts” submitted for the show. Some are fitted onto white mannequin torsos that are mounted on the walls. A number of the artists have used the form of the chastity belt – i.e. a cumbersome or imposing garment meant to be fastened around the loins ­– as a template upon which to construct a similar device using their own particular media. Lauren Osmolski’s “The Guardian,” for example, is a mask-like face (that appears to be an owl with curly antenna) made of brass and copper. It has leather straps (made by Amy Pomering) to fasten it upon the pelvis of its display mannequin. Trained as a blacksmith, Osmolski brings traditional metalworking techniques to the fore in the creation of works that draw upon such disparate sources as Northwest Coast Indian art and the art nouveau movement. Other artists approach the concept of the chastity belt from a philosophical point of view, exploring the whole idea of chastity itself. Bill Dawson, for example, asserts that marketing is the new chastity. Consumerist culture values objects that are pristine and hermetically sealed in their plastic packaging. Dawson thus presents a computer mouse that is kept forever pure inside its plastic wrapping. It is presented like a jewel at the center of a kind of elongated shield fashioned out of steel. Julia Lowther and Mineral owner Lisa Kinoshita also present versions of the chastity belt that are visually beautiful results of a rather thoughtful analysis of the idea of chastity and how that translates into a contemporary worldview. Lowther’s “Pathological Purity” is expertly crafted out of sterling silver links. Most of the artists approach the outlandish idea of the chastity belt with sharp humor. Foremost among these is Tacoma artist Lynn DiNino, whose wild contraption is entitled “Natural Selection Protection (she hears his coming, she RUNS).” DiNino puts a spin on the chastity belt by making it something worn by a man instead of a woman. Full of bells and chimes, the chastity belt is designed to give a clear warning of the approach of its imagined wearer so that any women in the vicinity will know to stay away. The belt is also accessorized with items that poke fun at stereotypical male behaviors that women might find unappealing. There are garlic cloves to produce a bad smell and a package of saltine crackers that the man might use to make crumbs in the bed. Dorothy Cheng and Naomi Landig present a set of five beautifully crafted chastity belts made as accessories for a Barbie doll. By making the chastity belt a mere accessory of the “prolifically outfitted Barbie,” the artists seek to highlight “the absurdity of a sexless but sexualized toy wearing a garment which was originally imagined to prevent the act of sex.” “Entrance Denied: the Art of the Chastity Belt” touches both the intellect and the funny bone and is well worth an excursion to Mineral. It is located 301 Puyallup Ave.

Raiders adjust to different camp under Cable

For most of the Oakland Raiders, the first few days of training camp under coach Tom Cable are like nothing they’ve been through before as football players. Quarterbacks are forbidden to pass the ball in seven-on-seven drills. They practice barking out audibles in the corner of the field while their teammates do other drills. The whistle blows almost as soon as the ball is handed off as coaches make sure each player is in the right spot. And then the process repeats itself. “It seemed like it was weird at first when he talked about the concept, but you go through it and it’s a great concept,” linebacker Isaiah Ekejiuba said. “We’re doing a lot of learning, get all the mistakes out the way.” The Raiders spent Saturday participating in their third straight day of what Cable has called a “learning-intensive” approach to football, eschewing pads, contact and running actual plays in favor of drilling fundamentals in this outdoor classroom in wine country. Fullback Lorenzo Neal told Cable he hadn’t seen anything like it in 17 years in the NFL. The approach is in stark contrast to what the Raiders’ cross-bay rivals are doing under coach Mike Singletary. The 49ers opened camp Saturday with two contact practices in pads as Singletary tries to instill a physical mentality with his team. Cable says there is plenty of time for hitting later in camp, in preseason games and the regular season. So for the first four days of his camp, he’s focusing on the mental part of the game. “When you hand them a set of pads and it’s time to go do that, they get into that part of it rather easily. That’s the way they’re wired,” Cable said. “Remember now, the NFL season starts now and it hopefully ends sometime in February for you. The human body can only take so many car crashes.” For the Raiders, those crashes won’t begin until Monday, the fifth day of training camp. For now, they have one more day of drills that may look mundane but are ones Cable says are vital for the Raiders to reverse a six-year slide of losing. In seven-on-seven passing drills, the quarterbacks drop back, survey the field as receivers run their patterns, then stop without making a pass. JaMarcus Russell pleaded with his coaches to be able to show off that strong arm of his to no avail, although defensive coordinator John Marshall did shout out at one point, “It’s time for a pick.” Later in practice, the quarterbacks line up near a fence, calling signals and taking simulated snaps. They bark out audibles, hand signals and all, as quarterbacks coach Paul Hackett calls out different defensive looks. Defenders practice their run fits, going to a particular spot to fill a gap in the defense even though no plays are being run. Then when the team lines up for 11-on-11 drills, the quarterback takes the snap and hands off the ball, only for a whistle to blow after the blockers and defenders take just a step. That’s repeated over and over again, as coaches watch footwork and other small details. “You’re really trying to get their mind into the who and the how part,” Cable said. “When you throw pads on, you add that combative part of it, and that really changes everything. … You’ve trained them, and now it’s just handling it the right way.” Cable says one benefit of the approach that he first used as a college coach at Idaho is that younger players can get more practice time as the first and second teams are on separate fields, with no fear of injuries. The players say the back-to-basics drills have been helpful, reinforcing what they learned in offseason workouts and allowing them to get back up to speed without the risk of injury. “I think it’s great,” offensive lineman Mario Henderson said. “In my opinion, at camp when you get out the first day, you sometimes are not really focused on trying to do the right things. You’re just focused on going out there and trying to win the starting job. Sometimes that can be bad because you are going fast, but you’re not really doing your assignments. Now we have four days where we get everything down pat so then when it comes time Monday to earn a job, it’s not your assignments slowing you down.” While the players like the approach, they’re also eager to put on the pads and hit each other like football players again. “They are like, `Come on coach, let’s go play,”’ Cable said.

The Grapes of Wrath, Chichester Festival Theatre

Chichester seems to have twinned itself with Oklahoma this summer. Joining in repertory Rodgers and Hammerstein’s optimistic eponymous 1944 musical about the state in which “the corn is as high as an elephant’s eye” comes the alternative version, an adaptation of John Steinbeck’s 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath, where the corn disappears in a windstorm and the small farmers in desperation seek a new life as migrant workers in California. For the Joad family, forced off their land, it is one damn thing after another as they pile their sparse possessions into a decrepit buggy and head west. They are plagued by deaths and desertions, heat and hostility, but it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive and when they reach California their problems really start. Director Jonathan Church has wisely used Frank Galati’s award-winning 1990 adaptation that stays faithful in word and spirit to Steinbeck’s campaigning novel. He smoothly surmounts the obvious challenges: a bare sloped stage neatly sets off the dangers of the journey; clever lighting conveys blistering heat; the old banger moves on cue; the waters of the Colorado river emerge, giving the weary actors the chance to refresh themselves and the front rows. Church is less successful with the large cast, some of whom have yet to settle comfortably into the skins and accents of the hard-pressed Okies, all of whom, good and bad, are victims of the System. Fortunately, Sorcha Cusack as Ma Joad holds the family and the play together with steely stoicism, and Oliver Cotton as Cary the preacher (who has replaced faith in God with faith in his fellow men) conveys Steinbeck’s socialist vision with strength and sympathy. Christopher Timothy is rather faceless as Pa Joad and Damian O’Hare as Tom, the honest murderer who picks up the preacher’s burden, is not always distinct. Great novels rarely make great plays but this production does more than enough to confirm that this adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath is a (dated) masterpiece. The characters are inevitably one-dimensional but Steinbeck’s humanity hits home, and the celebrated climax manages to suggest there is a glimmer of hope for mankind.

Satellite TV

Having a good satellite television in your home is a great way to entertain yourself when your off work. I know everyone will agree to that. A good piece of entertainment at home will give you the comfort of your home and a great way to unwind yourself. A good satellite like DIRECT TV is not only a good thing but in fact a huge savings for everyone from their best offers. They even provide you a DIRECTV Equipment to get you started. So, if I were you get the best satellite tv like direct tv and you will never regret it. I already got one and I am very satisfied with it aside from being entertained.
