After a career running a premier accounting recruitment agency in Washington, DC, Barry Goldstein sold his business to pursue art. He enrolled in a traditional fine arts program at the Schuler School of Fine Arts in Baltimore, MD and juried into the Copyist Program at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Painting on the museum gallery floor, he learned directly from the Masters by copying the works of Raphael, Rembrandt, Bellows, and Twachtman. Continuing his studies in figure drawing, painting, and sculpting with distinguished artists, Goldstein developed skills with materials and techniques, explored new creative processes, and began to see our physical and non-physical world in new ways. In his capacity on the Board of Directors of The Washington Sculptors Group, he collaborates with nationally and internationally renowned art institutions and artists to develop programs for members, art students, and the public.
At first look, Abrams's pieces suggest the fluidity of fabric, but in fact, are actually polymer clay. As a man-made substance, polymer clay begins as blocks of solid-colored clay-like material that does not require water to become soft. Unlike clay from the earth, polymer clay can be blended like paint. Math and geometry also play a large role in her work because each piece consists of baked clay shapes that, when complete, must fit together on the canvas. Her training in architecture and urban planning inspires her use of geometric forms and, Abrams revels in the math required to create this art combining both left- and right-brain experiences.
The 36th annual Montpelier Invitational Sculpture Exhibition will take place in the Main Gallery at Montpelier Arts Center.
Lori Ulmer-Hanson's exquisite forms exemplify her artistic expression, which evokes strong emotions in art lovers of all genres. Working in a diverse array of media including hand-sculpted raku clay, wood, stone, and metal sculptures, she recently added acrylic paintings and welding to her portfolio. Collectors around the world appreciate her raku and bronze sculptures. The female form is a dominant theme in her work, capturing its beauty and elegance in unique and compelling representations. Ulmer-Hanson's formal training began at Sam Houston State University, where she received her BFA specializing in sculpture. She continues her studies in ceramics and graphic arts/film editing. She continues to exhibit in juried, invitational, and one-woman shows and galleries. A former member of the Houston Art League and Rockport Center for the Arts, she has been involved with the Waco Center for the Arts' Open Door Show.
David Brosch received his BFA from the University of Maryland College Park, where he concentrated in printmaking. Upon graduation, he continued painting and drawing but lacked a facility to enable him to do printmaking. Enrolling in a class at Montpelier Arts Center in the early 90s, he applied for an open space in the printmaking studio. Brosch juried in and has been a resident artist ever since, as well as printmaking teacher at the Arts Center. Several of his students have also continued the tradition, becoming resident artists themselves. Brosch's preferred methods of printmaking are intaglio and linocut, where the image created on the plate or block is the negative or reverse of the final printed artwork. Brosch enjoys this challenge of "thinking backwards" as well as the experimental process of printmaking. In a world that is becoming increasingly noisy and conflict-filled, Brosch seeks quiet and beauty in the people around him, in his community, and in the places he has visited.
After 30 years as an advertising photographer, graphic designer and computer illustrator, Talbott brings this experience into her work. While at MICA, she studied the textural works of Jasper Johns, Jim Dine, and Frank Stella. The way these artists handled materials and created work so tactile made a distinct impression. It is the need to replicate the texture and surface of life that propels her to discover new ways to use materials and processes in everything she makes.
Ellen Cornett's charcoal and graphite drawings reveal the humorous and serious, often tragic undertones of fairy and folk tales. By using well-recognized sources, she manipulates characters into odd vignettes of conflict, misunderstanding, and relationships gone awry. In addition to these finished pieces, Cornett will create a large charcoal drawing on paper along the gallery wall aligning with other pieces in the show—a little whimsical, a little challenging, and a little dark. Visit her in the gallery to discuss and see the work in progress. She will also be documenting her process with daily reports on her blog and social media.
Artists explore drawing and painting on non-traditional surfaces such as cardboard, fabric, ceramic, and other unique supports.

This exhibition features the work of documentary photographers turning the "lens" towards a personal project of their family, surroundings, or themselves. Bill Crandall's "Fairy Tales from the Fault Lines" project is a dream-like vision of DC neighborhoods through the lens of a native Washingtonian. Away from the monuments, Crandall takes an unexpectedly poetic, personal view of life in the changing urban landscape, especially along the shifting central "fault lines" of a long-divided city. As an immigrant to the United States, Gabriela Bulisova has a complicated relationship with her native Czechoslovakia, returning at least once a year to visit her family in her mother's hometown; a small village of 800 people in southern Slovakia called Chl'aba. Along the way, she began a very personal project in collaboration with fellow photographer, Mark Isaac, which documents her family's life and the village around them.
Patricia Phillips Bowden, who holds a BFA from the Corcoran College of Art & Design, continues her explorations of art through paintings on a variety of surfaces and through the creation of mixed media pieces. Using a vast collection of found objects gathered over the years, she finds they inspire her work by their craftsmanship, design, and surface changes such as the effects of rust or being crushed. Using pieces of these objects, Bowden repurposes them into a new, interesting, and more exciting presentation. The tactile quality of oil painting appeals to her for its textural possibilities as well as its viscosity and vibrancy of color.
While studying architecture at Yale University in the 90s, Patrick "Mackie" Cromwell first began experimenting with intaglio metal plates. Decades later, in looking for a printmaking studio, he found David Brosch, a resident artist and printmaking instructor at Montpelier Arts Center in Laurel, MD. Through classes with Brosch, he expanded his techniques which enhanced his love of the chance nature of printmaking. Sometimes he may start with an idea or inspiration—a nighttime shadow on the wall, a light at the end of a tunnel, or the texture of a metal chair—but his instinct is the guiding force behind his artwork. Experimenting with aquatints, glue, spray paint, drypoint, paper maché, wet colored tissue paper, and sharpies, Cromwell often sees different objects and places after a print has been run. He delights in these "happy accidents" that express his "waking dreams." Influenced by the work of M.C. Escher, Cromwell finds the creative process helps him discover and connect to his interior life.
After the reception, enjoy a classical recital by Peter Pakhomkin on guitar at 3 pm.
The population of Prince George's County ebbs and flows like the rivers that flow along and through its boundaries. Due to educational aspirations, military service, and/or familial obligations, citizens of Prince George's County often find themselves filled with nostalgic memories of home or excitement of returning to a place "filled with love and affection." Artists featured in Home, Again focus on innovation (new materials and techniques or new twists on traditional styles), process, and transformation. All artists live, work, and/or have their studios in Prince George's County, MD.
Motivated by mystery, Allen Linder's drawings are a record of his search for and revelation of his imagination. As described by one curator, "They are improbable inventions tethered to a reality created in the act of making." For over 30 years, Linder was a sculptor. When he began drawing, his impulse was to describe form; to create the illusion of form through light and dark. Pen on paper makes a mark. Marks build into suggestive patterns, textures, layers, and movements. The play of light and dark creates the illusion of form. Forms emerge and dissolve into light, dark, and one another. He works from all points of view until up and down suggest themselves and he sees something he knows but has never seen before. Instead of questioning the origin or implications of his drawings, he only wants to enjoy their mystery.
Inspired by everything from classic science fiction to found objects, Steven Williams uses a process of intuition, accident, and chance. His mixed media works meet at the intersection of surrealism and abstraction.

Cianne Fragione and Seth Adelsberger push the limits of their respective media to reveal the immediacy and spontaneity involved in the creative process.

A practicing artist for 50 years, Sushama Parikh graduated from the J.J. School of Arts in Mumbai, India. She later received her MFA in sculpture at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris and finally settled in the United States.

Caroline Thorington's "Menagerie" includes a compendium of lithographic fine art prints about animals. She drew animals as a child and saw no reason for excluding them as she grew older. Animals creep into her work uninvited and take it over. They make puns and play jokes, hide and make ribald statements. They are animate beings that tell stories, and Thorington only draws them as they want to be: sometimes fantastical beings, other times creatures of legend and myth, and occasionally they are just themselves: frogs, beetles, bulls, rhinoceroses – portraits of living, breathing creatures.

Abdi Darai combines worlds of geometric constructions, art, and multi-layered structures of nature. By exploring non-linear transformations of iterated function systems, Darai renders beautiful and mysterious images that emerge from dark spaces. These hidden chaotic worlds are revealed through fractional dimensions that exist alongside us unseen, but real, nevertheless. Darai is an associate professor of mathematics at the University of the District of Columbia. He designs fractals both as a passion and a scientific pursuit.
Through his photographs, Richard Paul Weiblinger reveals a passion for exploring our world by transforming everyday views and objects into art. Preferring subjects that lead to images with chromatic strength, he uses creative lighting to not only illuminate his subjects but also to give them a dream-like, surreal quality that speaks of their subtle elegance.
For many years, Linda Bernard and Roslyn Logsdon have come together as artists and friends. They have exhibited together at the Montpelier Arts Center where they both have studios and teach. In previous exhibits – "Windows," "Structures," and "Surfaces" – they have picked themes that were explored in their different mediums: clay and fiber. Linda's explorations for this exhibition are spherical forms and the visual textures of under glazes applied onto her sculptural pieces. Her love of fabric is translated onto other pieces with impressions and under glazes as in quilting patchwork. Roslyn has continued her interest in Gothic arches – forming towering structures in various color studies. In other hooked wall hangings, her people are gathered in groups having lunch, tea, or wine. Another path her work has taken is an abstract study of trees.
The skillful rug hooking students at Montpelier Arts Center transform their unique personal stories into original works of art in this group exhibition. Creative and imaginative, each piece stands as an independent statement.

Towards the victory for collaborative forces against mighty one?
First quarter 2010 information from The NPD Group's Mobile Phone Track reveals a shift in the smartphone market, as Android OS edged out Apple's OS for the number-two position behind RIM.
This news caught my attention more than anything.
Apple, which has been making great news through its iPad launch and 'lost-found-sold-returned' iPhone 4 , has given a new dimension to the smart phone market. Till Google launched Android platform and Nexus One phone, there was no real competition to iPhone in consumer segment.
When Google launched Android there were many sceptics, not many were convinced that it would be able to take on Apple's iPhone. After all, Apple has millions of die-hard fans and it had taken a big lead in establishing the apps market. However in my January post I had argued that Google's approach of getting more players to launch Android based phone has far more chances of winning against mighty Apple, than Google taking on Apple on its own.
Though the above news is based on one quarter data only, it is very encouraging. It says that more Andorid based phones have been sold than iPhone in the last quarter in USA This would give further boost and encourage more players to adopt Android platform.
For me, this brings hopes of having open platforms and more collaborative environment. This would mean faster innovation and transparency.

This lovely valentine banner that is made with scrapbook paper was one of the first projects that I posted three years ago. It's still one of my favorites.
It's made with heart shapes that look like lace, scrapbook paper cut into pennant shapes, and some twine to hold it all together. It was so easy and quick to make. I think it adds a pretty Valentine's Day touch even if you're not a big fan of bright red Valentine's Day decorations like me. Who says Valentine's Day decorations all have to be red!
I used my Silhouette Cameo® to cut the heart and pennant shapes, but it can be made without one, too.
If you're using a Cameo, make the banners using any banner shape you like and adjust size to your preference. I cut my banner shape from scrapbook paper that is designed to look like a page from an old book. If you're not using a Cameo, simply cut rectangles out of scrapbook paper, to the size you want and notch out the bottom (upside down "v").
For the hearts, I used designs I found in the Silhouette online store (pictured above), but you could also cut out heart shapes from paper doilies. I used a spray adhesive to adhere the hearts to the banner shapes, then strung them together with twine.
Since I don't have a mantel, I displayed my banner across the bookshelf in the family room.
Tell me, do you decorate for Valentine's Day? I must admit that pre-blog days I did not. But it is kinda fun to hang a little something.
If a banner is not your style, then you might like this wreath.
or maybe Valentine Treat Bags.
I love this sweet Valentine's Day Onesie!
You have the most original ideas. Love them all.
Darling! I love the delicate lacy look of the hearts. I too love using old book pages and sheet music for my crafts.
Could not see where to follow you.

What a beautiful banner, it looks lovely! I love the paper, and love the hearts! It looks beautiful!
What a lovely idea. This would go very well with my heart burlap love note pillows!
Such a lovely banner. It looks so vintage with that particular paper & the twine. Cute! Thanks for linking up!
I just LOVE your banner!!! I always love projects that incorporate pages from old books or sheet music.

Thanks Joyce! It's so nice to see this group really supporting each other!

Division Pediatric Urology, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH, USA.
From review of the literature the author comes to the conclusion that the best treatment for mid and distal ureteral stones in children is ureteroscopy, whereas ESWL should be the primary choice for treating stones in the proximal ureter. Experience has shown that very high stone-free rates can be achieved with ureteroscopy and that the re-treatment rate is low. Accordingly ureteroscopy seems as an excellent method for removing stones from the ureter, particularly regarding distal and mid ureteral stones. It is however, an invasive technique that is applied for ureters with a small dimension and the late effects of ureteroscopy in children is poorly studied.
There is a wide variability of results reported for distal, mid and proximal ureteral stones in children treated with ESWL. In the literature repeated treatment sessions and low stone-free rates often is referred to. It is, however, my own experience that provided care is taken to avoid shielding skeletal structures and other obstacles for a free shockwave path and provided the ESWL is carried out in an optimal way, stones in the whole ureter can be efficiently disintegrated with ESWL and repeated sessions is only very occasionally necessary. The ureter in children is powerful and can eliminate the stone fragments very fast.
So, how stones in the ureter best should be treated remains controversial and there is no solid evidence in the literature that endoscopic stone removal in children definitely is better than ESWL if that method is used with optimal technique and equipment.

Press NGO: Let's See Brains behind Kuciak Murder, Not Only Killer
IPI representatives honouring the memory of Kuciak and Kusnirova in Bratislava (photo by TASR)
Bratislava, November 2 (TASR) – Representatives of the International Press Institute (IPI) don't only want to know who pulled the trigger on Slovak journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kusnirova, but also who was the "brains" behind the whole crime, stated IPI executive board chair Markus Spillmann, who honoured the memory of the murdered couple along with his colleagues in Bratislava on Friday.
The IPI representatives met on SNP Square and demanded justice for Kuciak and Kusnirova, holding up banners in various languages with slogans such as 'Justice for Jan' and 'No impunity'.
"We're the oldest non-governmental organisation dealing with the freedom of the press worldwide. We've met in Bratislava to send this strong message to the Government. We also want to point to the fact that the situation for journalists around the world isn't good. We're here to express our solidarity with journalists around the world who have been persecuted or killed," said Spillmann.
Based in Vienna, Austria, IPI brings together editors and media representatives from more than 120 countries to promote independent journalism and address the challenges that the news media are facing.
Jan Kuciak was an investigative journalist working for news website Aktuality.sk. He and his fiancée were murdered in their house in Velka Maca (Trnava region) in February with gunshots from a 9 mm pistol. Four individuals have been indicted with the murder in Slovakia thus far: Alena Zs., who allegedly paid for the murder; Tomas Sz., the shooter, Miroslav M., the driver and Zoltan A. as a go-between. All four are held in custody.

'Child protection' tears mother and son apart after 14 years
Legal aid cuts will bring more DIY cases into courts – which will grind to a halt
Important paper published on media access to the family courts for use by judges, journalists and practitioners
The President of the Family Division, the Judicial College and the Society of Editors produce joint publication
The President of the Family Division, the Judicial College and the Society of Editors have produced a joint publication on media access to and reporting of the family courts.
The preface to the publication says:
"There is no more difficult issue in family justice than the reporting of cases. There is a tension between concerns about 'secret justice' and legitimate expectations of privacy and confidentiality for the family. Both standpoints are valid, and the question is whether they are irreconcilable.
"Against this background, and under the wise tutelage of the Lord Chief Justice, a group of lawyers and journalists, including representatives from both the print and broadcast media, have got together to talk to each other. As part of these discussions, they commissioned a paper which would set out a statement of the current state of the law in this most complex area.
"The result is the document which follows this Preface. It has been drafted by two members of the bar, Adam Wolanski and Kate Wilson. It is an analysis of where we are at the moment: what we can and what we cannot do. It is, in our view, a substantial and very important piece of work. Its publication is all the more timely as the debate on increased transparency and public confidence in the family courts moves forward. It will serve to inform future consideration of this difficult and sensitive area, including the questions of access to and reporting of proceedings by the media, whilst maintaining the privacy of the families involved.
"We are all very grateful to Adam and Kate for the enormous amount of hard work which has gone into the document and to Eddie Craven for proof reading it. We are confident it will be of practical use to journalists, judges and practitioners alike."
The publication can be accessed here.

Virat Kohli And Anushka Sharma Launch Myntra's Brand Campaign- 'Go Myntra-La-La' As Its Official Ambassadors
By Team Bollyy On May 4, 2019
Myntra announces the launch of 'Go Myntra-la-la', a brand campaign that brings alive the joyful experience of shopping for fashion on the brand's platform. The campaign kicks off with an ad film starring Myntra's first official brand ambassadors, ace cricketer Virat Kohli and leading Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma. Virat and Anushka represent the young, confident and successful India of today hence a great choice as ambassadors for a new age brand like Myntra.The film taps into music as a key element and delivers a musical anthem for Myntra, an acoustic identity that will be an asset for the brand henceforth. The tune symbolises the joy of shopping for fashion on Myntra and the music is adapted from La Vern Baker's famous song Tra – la – la.
The campaign thought was inspired by Myntra's vision to offer an online shopping experience for fashion that is as enriching and offers an unmatched user experience with hi-tech features that go beyond the act of adding items to a cart by delivering the joy of discovery, inspiration, experimentation and social experience. The narrative strings together various features and propositions like Visual Search- that allows users to click a picture of any merchandise and search for it on the Myntra platform; category stores like Sneaker Store that allows for relevant category curation; Try & Buy- which enables users to physically try out multiple clothes from the comfort of their home before making the final purchase; personalized stores for a more involved shopping experience; and finally Myntra Insider- the brand's loyalty program.
The musical film opens with viewers witnessing Anushka pushing a shopping cart with a man sitting on it, who is none other than Virat – a quick introduction to the star cast. It then goes to Anushka, walking in style as she comes next to a fashion billboard, she whips out her smart phone and taps the Myntra icon and scans the floral dress on the billboard. The app throws up the same dress, ready to be shopped. In the film however, the editor takes us straight to Anushka continuing her walk with the new dress. The film then cuts to Virat browsing through various sneaker options to choose from before he settles on his perfect pair. Going back to Anushka, she's now busy trying various options of dresses delivered to her door step to choose the one that fits her the best. It goes back to Virat again, who is now at a game arcade browsing jackets on the Myntra app before settling on one and joining his friends for a game of foosball. The film goes back to Anushka browsing through lipstick shades and picking a new favourite before she taps on the Myntra Insider icon, and is transported to a place of luxury and royal treatment – an obvious reference to the benefits of being a loyal customer or an insider. The film goes back to the couple enjoying a moment of fun with a shopping cart.
Amar Nagaram, Head, Myntra-Jabong, said, "Myntra has transformed the overall dynamics of the online fashion industry by offering shoppers unmatched experiences. Technology is enabling us to understand consumers and their fashion needs, resulting in the development and implementation of several innovative features and conveniences on our platform, which have been highlighted vividly in this new campaign." He further added, "The association of Bollywood and Sports with fashion needs no introduction and hence having Virat and Anushka as the face of this new campaign will enable us to build strong brand salience and establish the joy and convenience of shopping on Myntra."

Dear Visitor! This article has been written a while ago but it's as valid today as it was in 2009.
Isn't that great?! You can still become a life coach with Positive Success Group and learn more about why it's a great decision to complete your qualification with us.
You may also choose to first attend one of our Free Open Evenings. In fact there is one very soon. We are looking forward to meeting you there. Not sure if you want to attend? Find out why it's a great idea here.
What can you get out of a life coaching course?
What sort of topics are covered in a life coaching course?
What type of people take a Life Coaching Course ?
What can I expect to pay for a Life Coaching Course ?
The first thing you need to ask yourself is what do you want from a life coaching course.
Each course should have a structure where by certain topics are covered – these will help you decide which course to go for.
What type of people take a Life Coaching Course?
People who want to invest in bettering themselves.
People who want to find out more about what makes them unique.
People who want to be more confident.
People who want to communicate their strengths to others.
People who want to enjoy life and get more fulfilment out of what they have.
People who want to find their passions in life.
So really – all types of people.
What can I expect to pay for a Life Coaching Course?
My experience is that some of the short – introduction to coaching courses can be anything from self help workshops to accredited certificate courses so please do your research.
What I suggest is you invest in yourself and your needs.
Is it necessary to pay the higher limits – over €10,000 I dont' believe so. You can obtain an excellent qualification for example an Accredited Diploma for between €2,500 and €3,000.
The majority of professional diplomas carry the same weigh in credibility and business recognition so don't be sucked in by the labels !!

During his talk at the live code festival Karlsruhe 2013, David Ogborn (to paraphrase from my faulty memory) said that livecoding seems a very current thing, that something about it seems to be in the air, so much of what we are doing seems to stick and thrive like a form of bacteria.
Yorgos Diapoulis talking about his minimal interface for live hardware coding.
This festival made it obvious that communities surrounding livecoding are thriving, with representation from Australia, Mexico and Canada as well as European regions and accordingly a wild variety of approaches, techniques and styles that now make up livecoding. The symposium was fundamentally a celebration of this and a chance to experience the diversity directly.
From my scrappy notes and in no particular order, Andrew Brown focused on a describing livecoding technique as an interplay between 'complexity and succinctness' in the context of musical research involving data mining large quantities of musical material. Here, as in many issues of creativity in livecoding, the critical decision is where to abstract away details in order to provide a usable and flexible creative environment. His approach is to look for patterns in musical data in order to provide a ground truth, and then make subjective decisions based on practice and performance to build a livecoding interface. Andrew mapped out other useful dichotomies we battle with such as the tension between modelling and simulations of creative understanding vs inspiration, which can come from many places.
Catching up with the rapid development of the phenomenon that is Benoit and the Mandelbrots, their side project "Delbots and the man" is a doomcore livecoding band involving a live drummer – a promising new sonic direction for livecoding. Also on a more technical level their drop function provides a means to allow code to be executed simultaneously in all performers machines, used as a way to accelerate or amplify 'from scratch' livecoding techniques in groups.
Section 9 live coded both progressive and recursive house, simultaneously.
In contrast, Andrew Sorenson demonstrated the potential to provide liveness and 'hot swapping' of code down to the lowest computing levels with Extempore, which can now run on a large number of architectures and levels of concurrency, and now generates code approaching the efficiency of C compilation in many situations.
More reports on the festival, and associated Algorave events to follow.
Optimisation is a game where you write more code in order to do less. In Al Jazari 2 doing less means drawing less blocks. Contiguous blocks of the same type are already automatically collapsed into single larger ones with the Octree – but if we can figure out which blocks are completely surrounded by other blocks, we can save more time by not building or drawing them either.
The gaps in the sphere from the clipping allow us to look inside at how the octree has optimised the structure. The gain is higher in a more normal Minecraft set up with a reasonably flat floor covering a large amount of blocks. Here is the code involved, built on top of a functional library I'm building up on to manipulate this kind of data. It maps over each Octree leaf checking all the blocks it touches on each of its six sides, taking into account that the size of the leaf block may be bigger than one.

Capcom vs. Tatsunoko
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars Review
Here comes a new challenger!
By Mark Bozon
Updated: 9 May 2012 10:36 pm
Posted: 22 Jan 2010 9:18 pm
Right now you're reading a review for a game that shouldn't have ever existed outside of Japan. Mainstream gamers -- and most hardcore gamers, at that -- don't know the Tatsunoko brand. With very little promise of a commercial success, Capcom would be crazy to bring the latest in the Capcom Vs. series to U.S. shores, right?
Not necessarily, no. You're reading about a "dark horse" game, no doubt. But you're also reading a review for one of the best games on the Wii.
If you're anything like me, you didn't know the Tatsunoko brand before you started seeing shots of some super hero dudes locking it up with the likes of Ryu and Chun Li in the Street Fighter arena. If you take one thing away from this review though, it's that it simply doesn't matter. Any way you slice it -- be it the modes, balance, character diversity, depth, or ease of entry into the game itself -- Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is one of the best fighters we've seen since Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and it's a testament to good, old-fashioned 2D ass-kickery.
A quick note on Tatsunoko, as most people will want to at least understand what they're looking at before making a purchase. As always, Capcom's "Vs." series is out to pair with a strong accompanying license. Tatsunoko Publishing is extremely well-known in Japan as the brand that brought some of the best anime and characters to the region. Franchises like Yatterman, Gatchaman, and Tekkaman Blade may not be known here, but these are the granddaddys of modern anime. Franchises like Gatchaman paved the way for heroic squad-based shows, as stars like Ken the Eagle and Joe the Condor can be likened to guys like Jason and Tommy from the stateside-popular Power Rangers series.
While players might not know the Tatsunoko brand outright, they can have faith in the brand to deliver unique characters, each with their own style, swagger, and strengths. It's a shame there's no real history section within Tatsunoko vs. Capcom's shop/collection system, but even without much backstory, the game is strong enough on its own to inspire fans to read up on the characters after going a few dozen rounds.
Capcom's goal with Street Figher IV was to rebirth the fighting world, bringing in new players by going back to what's truly fun about 2D fighters. After taking both games through the paces though, I've had a much more rewarding and downright entertaining time with Tatsunoko vs. Capcom than I ever did with Street Fighter IV. Street Fighter IV is without a doubt a top-tier fighter, and the true rebirth of 2D arcade fighting. But I'd argue that Wii fans are getting the true "return to excellence" with Tatsunoko, as the game offers more instant appeal and pure entertainment value than its more serious Street Fighter counterpart.
Wii fans may bicker and complain that they don't have Street Fighter IV in Nintendo's library, but fighting fans that cut their teeth and dropped a fortune on Marvel vs. Capcom 2 back in the arcades might -- just might -- consider Wii's exclusive fighter to be the true ace up the sleeve. The similarities between Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Capcom's latest fighter are pretty impossible to ignore, and that's a very good thing. Bottom line: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is just downright fun, and an amazing catch for the U.S. market.
Obviously people are going to come from different camps as to what they want from a fighter, but as a guy that takes comfort in the high-speed, juggle-centric gameplay of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Street Fighter Alpha 3, I found myself instantly enjoying what Tatsunoko has to offer. At its core, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is a three button fighter, mixing all basic moves up by allowing each attack button (light, medium, and heavy) to pull off different techniques with the same motion. Sometimes the change is minimal, like having different speeds for Ryu's fireball based on what button you use.
Zero+makes+his+TVC+debut.++One+of+the+many+reasons+to+play+this+game.
Okay... that's been around since, well, forever. Look at other characters, however, and you'll find a lot of hidden depth. Casshan's "Friender Call" sends out his robotic wolf to attack his opponent, but each button used to execute the technique will pull off a different move. Friender will come in and attack with a quick physical pounce, jump to mid-field and spit a flamethrower attack, or even latch onto Casshan's opponent and hold them in place for an easy combo. That's one move, executed with three different buttons.
The basic tag format of previous versus games still applies, so players will bring in two fighters from either the Capcom side, Tatsunoko side, or a mix. Tags can happen at any time and there's a short recharge period after assist attacks or switches so that players can't just spam the tag button over and over. All the combined super combos you'd expect are alive and well. You can cash in your super meter for single-fighter attacks or you can stack them so that you and your tag partner jump in at the tail end of each other's supers and leapfrog from gigantic attack to gigantic attack (assuming you've got the super meter filled enough to do it). When tagged out, fighters also slowly heal themselves, refilling the red part of their damage meter over time.
The combat is simple enough to get you playing and having fun from the first match, but after a short time the more hardcore players out there will discover the barouque combos, crossover combos, air crosses, mega crushes, and other higher level techniques. What's nice: those aren't required to enjoy the game, and overall Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is extremely intuitive and "newbie friendly," without sacrificing depth.

Baltimore sues to block move of Preakness Stakes
Associated PressMar 20, 2019, 12:05 PM EDT
BALTIMORE — Baltimore has ratcheted up a bitter dispute with the owners of a historic racetrack in an effort to seize a nearly 150-year-old course and block the move of one of America's premier horse races out of the city where it was first run in 1873.
Under state law, the Preakness Stakes – the middle jewel of the Triple Crown of thoroughbred horse racing – can be moved to another track in Maryland "only as a result of a disaster or emergency." But the Canada-based development company that owns and operates the rundown Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore has made it abundantly clear that it wants to move the storied race out of the city.
A lawsuit freshly filed by Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, the City Council and three residents claims that the Canada-based development company that owns the track is "openly planning to violate Maryland law by moving the Preakness to a different racetrack despite the absence of any disaster or emergency, except for the disaster that they are in the process of creating."
The Stronach Group is looking at a fresher track it owns in Laurel Park – in Anne Arundel County about 30 miles (about 50 kilometers) south of the Baltimore facility – as a better option for the Preakness. It has only pledged to keep the Preakness at the Baltimore track through 2020.
In an email seeking comment about the lawsuit, which was filed Tuesday in Baltimore Circuit Court, the Stronach Group said it "believes these actions are premature and unfounded."
Here's what it wants to do: Stronach aims to make some $80 million in improvements to build a "super track" at Laurel Park and company officials are lobbying Maryland's General Assembly to permit funding from gambling proceeds to help realize their vision.
Baltimore's lawsuit, meanwhile, asks a court to grant ownership of the Pimlico track and the Preakness race to Maryland's biggest city through condemnation. Baltimore is also trying to prevent the Stronach Group from using state bonds to fund improvements at Laurel Park.
The lawsuit accuses the company of essentially manufacturing a disaster by "systematically" underinvesting in Pimlico, instead spending the majority of the state aid it receives on boosting its Laurel track.
Hard feelings between Baltimore and the owners of Pimlico had been intensifying before this week's lawsuit. In a February letter to Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Maryland lawmakers, Pugh portrayed the Stronach Group as a family business in disarray, noting that the feuding "father, daughter and now granddaughter" were "suing one another in multiple lawsuits."
The Preakness saga's latest chapter comes a few months after the Maryland Stadium Authority issued a report saying the Pimlico track should be torn down and rebuilt at a cost of $424 million.
It said the rundown condition of the aging Baltimore track presents challenges threatening the "continued existence and the success of the Preakness Stakes," but it also stressed there did not appear to be "situational factors" such as the surrounding city neighborhood of Park Heights and accessibility issues that would "negatively affect Pimlico Race Course's ability to remain the long-term home" of the Preakness.
Pugh strongly endorsed the redevelopment plan recommended by the Maryland Stadium Authority, saying the economic opportunity it would bring could dramatically revitalize an area that's experienced disinvestment for decades.
Hogan appears less than receptive to Baltimore's latest tack, telling WBAL's radio station that "the overwhelming number of people in Maryland don't really care where it (the Preakness) is."
"They would just like to keep it in Maryland."
Yet the Republican governor also reiterated that he would like to see the major horse race remain in Baltimore.
Back in its heyday, Pimlico hosted many of the sport's most memorable races: Seabiscuit's match race with War Admiral in 1938; Man o' War's debut in 1920 with a stunning win over Upset; and Secretariat's last-to-first victory during his Triple Crown run in 1973. Though work crews have found a way to make the track presentable for the Preakness every year on the third Saturday in May, many racing fans have said the need for a dramatic makeover has been blatantly obvious for many years.
Pegasus races planned for Gulfstream and Santa Anita in 2024
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – After seven Pegasus World Cup events, it's evidently time for change.
1/ST Racing, which has hosted the entirety of the Pegasus series to this point at Gulfstream Park, is planning for two Pegasus days in 2024 – one at Gulfstream and the other at Santa Anita. Details aren't finalized and it's unclear how it would fit in the racing calendar, but 1/ST is planning for both dirt and turf Pegasus races as part of the Santa Anita program.
Gulfstream played host to the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational on the dirt Saturday, along with the $1 million Pegasus Turf and the $500,000 Pegasus Filly and Mare Turf.
"I'd really love to see that we bring it to the West Coast," 1/ST President and CEO Belinda Stronach said. "That will probably happen in 2024. What we did this year for 2023 was said, `OK, we have a number of great race days, let's coordinate those better and call it the 1/ST Racing Tour and recognize great achievements within our own footprint."
Saturday marked the first stop on that new 1/ST Racing Tour. Along with some of the biggest race days at 1/ST tracks – like Florida Derby day at Gulfstream on April 1, Santa Anita Derby day on April 8 and the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico on May 20 – there are a pair of days where the tour will be running simultaneously.
This coming Saturday, Gulfstream will play host to the Holy Bull while Santa Anita has the Robert B. Lewis – both of them Kentucky Derby prep races.
And on March 4, Gulfstream has the Fountain of Youth, another major Derby prep, while San Anita has the Big Cap. Plans call for coordinated post times at those two tracks on those days to provide the best racing action every 20 minutes, as well as some unique betting options.
"We can never rest on our laurels," Stronach said. "We have to keep moving forward. We have a great team that's really committed."
The main Pegasus race is one of the biggest-paying races in North America. Art Collector claimed about $1.8 million from a $3 million purse with his win on Saturday. In 2022, only the $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic and $4 million Breeders' Cup Turf featured bigger prizes among U.S. races, and the $3 million Pegasus purse is equal to the one offered last year at the Kentucky Derby.
Regardless of what happens with the Santa Anita plan for future Pegasus events, Stronach insisted Gulfstream will continue having Pegasus days. There has even been talk about Gulfstream playing host to Breeders' Cup races again, something that hasn't happened since 1999.
"This is staying here in Miami," Stronach said. "Pegasus has a home here in Miami. We can't move Pegasus from Miami. We have great partners here and it's more than just a day now. We have deep roots here in Miami."
Trainer Bob Baffert's ban from racing in New York is over
Bob Baffert can once again enter horses at New York's major tracks.
The Hall of Fame trainer's one-year ban by the New York Racing Association ended Wednesday, allowing him to enter horses as soon as Thursday.
"I was disappointed they even did it, but it's water under the bridge," Baffert told The Associated Press by phone.
He was suspended last June for repeated medication violations, although none of them occurred in New York. He was barred from Aqueduct, Belmont and Saratoga. A panel credited Baffert for time served for an initial suspension, which allowed him to return this week.
Aqueduct is currently holding its 44-day winter meet that runs through March 26. Baffert doesn't typically run horses this time of year in New York; he targets the biggest stakes races at Belmont in the spring and Saratoga in the summer.
Baffert remains under a two-year ban by Churchill Downs Inc., which sidelined him after Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit tested positive for a substance that is not allowed on race day. The penalty expires shortly after the Kentucky Derby in May. However, Baffert is fighting the suspension in federal court.
The Southern California-based trainer has a big weekend coming up around the country, although not in New York.
He has horses running at three tracks on Saturday.
Defunded is entered in the $3 million Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream in Florida, where Baffert assistant Jimmy Barnes will be on hand.
Arabian Knight goes into the $750,000 Southwest Stakes as the early favorite at Oaklawn in Arkansas. Baffert has won the Kentucky Derby prep race a record-tying five times and will travel to Hot Springs to watch the 3-year-old colt.
"It's going to be a good test for him. The only way to find out is to run him long," he said. "It's going to take a superior horse to do that and I'm hoping that he is."
The Southwest offers Kentucky Derby qualifying points to the top five finishers. Arabian Knight won't receive any points regardless of his placing because of Baffert's Derby ban.
Hopper will run in the $200,000 San Pasqual Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita.
On Sunday at the same track, Baffert has entered four of the five horses set to run in the $200,000 San Vicente Stakes for 3-year-olds.
