			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.youngmanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/halo4chief.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23820" title="halo4chief" src="http://www.youngmanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/halo4chief.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="430" /></a></p>
<p>The hub of the &#8220;Halo 4&#8243; multiplayer experience is the UNSC Infinity – the largest starship in the UNSC fleet that serves as the center of your Spartan career. Here you&#8217;ll build your custom Spartan-IV supersoldier, and progress your multiplayer career across all &#8220;Halo 4&#8243; competitive and cooperative game modes. Surrounded by the sights, sounds and crew of the biggest vessel in the UNSC fleet, your multiplayer experience will be embedded in the fiction of &#8220;Halo&#8221; like never before, where your progress and game choices affect your appearance, arsenal, and role on the battlefield.</p>
<p>· Spartan Ops. The story of the UNSC Infinity intersects with the &#8220;Halo 4&#8243; campaign, then continues on in a brand-new, story-driven experience known as Spartan Ops. A first of its kind and exciting new addition to the &#8220;Halo&#8221; franchise, Spartan Ops is an episodic adventure that blends immersive storytelling, high-quality cinematics, and action-packed gameplay to deliver an unprecedented serialized experience.</p>
<p>Through a weekly series of cinematic episodes on Xbox LIVE, Spartan Ops will tell the continuing story of the UNSC Infinity, following the events of &#8220;Halo 4.&#8221; These episodes will center on the UNSC Infinity leaders and crew, and a new team of Spartans – Majestic Squad. These cinematic episodes will provide the backdrop for the weekly Spartan Ops gameplay missions. Playable in single-player or cooperatively (with up to three friends), explore the corners of Requiem in these objective-based missions, and help uncover the secrets of the mysterious Forerunner world.</p>
<p><span id="more-23819"></span>A massive-scale adventure that builds off the &#8220;Halo 4&#8243; story, access to Spartan Ops is included with &#8220;Halo 4&#8243; at no additional charge – effectively delivering two campaign experiences in one game.</p>
<p>· War Games. The competitive multiplayer modes of &#8220;Halo 4,&#8221; known as War Games, take place on the combat deck of the UNSC Infinity and revive the visceral and immersive experiences that &#8220;Halo&#8221; multiplayer is famous for. &#8220;Halo 4&#8243; introduces fresh, immersive new game modes and strategies to help you progress your Spartan-IV career, while also delivering an experience that&#8217;s still distinctly and uniquely &#8220;Halo.&#8221; More details on all the modes of War Games will be released at a later time.</p>
<p>· Total Combat Freedom and Player Progression. &#8220;Halo 4&#8243; features a vastly expanded suite of new multiplayer modes, weapons, vehicles, armor abilities, a new loadout and player progression system, and a new armor modification system that introduces gameplay-enhancing customizations for the first time in a &#8220;Halo&#8221; game. These advancements can be used in both Spartan Ops and certain War Games matchmaking playlists, empowering player choice, vastly expanding their creative options, and make the experience deeper for core fans and more approachable for newcomers.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Halo 4&#8243; player progression system goes beyond simple aesthetic upgrades, encouraging players to invest time and effort to create a Spartan that looks and plays the way they want. Players can earn and activate combat enhancements called &#8220;Specializations&#8221; based on the style of play they engage in, from stealth to all-out assault, and everything in between.</p>

<div>Opel is fundamentally renewing its engine range. Three completely new gasoline and diesel families are replacing the core of the current portfolio. The aim is to take an industry lead, not just with fuel consumption and emissions but with specific torque and noise reduction.The first new engine to be introduced is a turbocharged 1598 cc, four-cylinder gasoline unit with direct injection and Start/Stop. The new SIDI (spark ignition direct injection) ECOTEC engine will be available in various power outputs and across several car lines. Production at the Szentgotthardt plant in Hungary will begin in late 2012.</p>
<p>Smooth acceleration, strong pulling power, low noise levels and low fuel consumption were the main focus. The emphasis was on torque with the engineers achieving up to 187.5 Nm per liter of displacement &#8211; a benchmark for gasoline engines produced in high volume. Maximum torque is up to 300 Nm and is already available at 1,700 rpm. Peak power of up to 200 hp is reached at 4,700 rpm. Compared to the predecessor 1.6 liter turbocharged gasoline engine, fuel consumption and CO2 have been cut by 13 percent.</p>
<p><span id="more-23816"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;In just twelve months we are launching three completely new engine generations. This shows how fast we are introducing new products,&#8221; says Opel CEO Karl-Friedrich Stracke. &#8220;Our new 1.6 liter direct injection engine is a real giant in terms of torque. Power builds up very smoothly and quietly,&#8221; the director of gasoline engines, Thomas Johnen, explains.</p>
<p>The first Opel engine with spark ignition direct injection technology, the 114kW/155 hp &#8220;2.2 ECOTEC direct&#8221; made its debut in Opel&#8217;s Signum and Vectra in 2003, succeeded by the Zafira. In 2007, the GT offered the first turbocharged gasoline engine with direct injection from Opel, a 2.0 liter unit with 194kW/264 hp. One year later this engine was introduced in the Insignia and was available in the Opel flagship in two variants: 162 kW/220 hp and 184kW/250 hp. The new Astra OPC will be powered by the latest version of this engine offering an output of 206kW/280 hp.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) unveiled five game-changing innovations that will bring revolutionary changes to EA SPORTS™ FIFA Soccer 13 along with the largest and deepest feature set in the history of the franchise.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youngmanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Messi-FIFA-13_656x369.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23806" title="Messi FIFA 13_656x369" src="http://www.youngmanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Messi-FIFA-13_656x369.png" alt="" width="656" height="369" /></a></p>
<p>“We are perfecting the best sports game in the world with innovations that capture all the drama and unpredictability of the real-world game,” said David Rutter, Executive Producer for FIFA 13. “These are game-changing innovations that will revolutionize our artificial intelligence, dribbling, ball control and collisions to create a true battle for possession across the entire pitch, and deliver freedom and creativity in attack.”</p>
<p>The most sophisticated artificial intelligence ever achieved for the FIFA Soccer franchise will drive FIFA Soccer 13 on HD consoles and PC. All-new Attacking Intelligence enables players to analyze space, work harder and smarter to break down defenses, and think two plays ahead. Players now possess the intelligence to create, curve, or alter runs to capitalize on openings as they occur, make runs that pull defenders out of position to open passing channels for teammates, and better position themselves for new attacking opportunities.</p>
<p>In FIFA Soccer 13 every touch matters with the most comprehensive and intuitive dribbling system ever developed. Inspired by the world’s best player, Lionel Messi, Complete Dribbling enables players to face their opponent and use precise dribble touches combined with true 360° mobility with the ball, so it’s easier to be more creative and dangerous in 1v1 opportunities. Players change direction quicker, are more explosive accelerating with the ball, and are more effective shielding defenders for longer stretches. FIFA 13 1st Touch Control transforms the way players control the ball, eliminating near-perfect touch for every player on the pitch, and creating variety and uncertainty around ball control. Factors such as defensive pressure, trajectory of the ball, and velocity of the pass now impact a player’s first touch, creating more opportunities for defenders to win back possession.</p>
<p><span id="more-23805"></span>The second generation of the Player Impact Engine expands physical play from just collisions to off-the-ball battles between players. Defenders push and pull for position, and use their size and strength to win possession or force opponents into poor touches and decisions before the ball arrives. FIFA 13 Tactical Free Kicks provides the tools to create dangerous and unpredictable free kicks utilizing the most skillful players on the pitch. Position up to three attacking players over the ball and utilize dummy runs and more passing options to create elaborate free kicks. Opponents can counter by adding or subtracting players to the wall, creeping the wall forward, or sending a bullet man to intercept the pass or block the shot.</p>
<p>FIFA Soccer 13 will also feature:</p>
<p>Improved Career Mode with major changes developed in response to requests from the most passionate fans of the franchise.<br />
New features to enhance the massive EA SPORTS FIFA online offering, including improvements to the wildly popular Head-To-Head Seasons mode<br />
Multiple new features and benefits to EA SPORTS Football Club, the live service that is the heartbeat of FIFA<br />
Complete authenticity with more than 500 officially licensed clubs.</p>
<p>Additional new modes and features will be announced in the months ahead.</p>
<p>FIFA Soccer 13 will be available in stores world-wide this fall for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system with PlayStation Move support, Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system with Kinect™, PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system, Wii™, PC, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Nintendo 3DS™, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, iPhone®, iPad®, iPod® touch and other mobile platforms. The game has not yet been rated. Screenshots are available at http://info.ea.com.</p>

<p>Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today unveiled the new UNI-CUB personal mobility device, designed for harmony with people. Featuring a compact design and comfortable saddle, UNI-CUB offers the same freedom of movement in all directions that a person enjoys while walking.</p>
<p>Representing the evolution of the U3-X personal mobility device that Honda announced in 2009, UNI-CUB features Honda&#8217;s proprietary balance control technology and the world&#8217;s first omni-directional driving wheel system (Honda Omni Traction Drive System). These technologies allow the rider to control speed, move in any direction, turn and stop, all simply by shifting his or her weight. Since the rider can freely move forward, backward, side-to-side and diagonally, he or she can quickly and easily maneuver among other people.</p>

<p>Moreover, UNI-CUB&#8217;s compact saddle-style packaging makes it easy for the rider&#8217;s legs to reach the ground and maintains eye-level height with other pedestrians. This configuration promotes harmony between the rider and others, letting the rider travel freely and comfortably inside facilities and among moving people.</p>

<p>Starting in June 2012, Honda will jointly conduct demonstration testing of UNI-CUB with Japan&#8217;s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. In addition to testing the feasibility of using UNI-CUB indoors, this project will explore the practical applications of the device in a wide range of environments in Japan and other countries.</p>
<p>The balance control technology of UNI-CUB is part of the Honda Robotics family of technologies, which originates with Honda&#8217;s research into humanoid robots, including the world-famous ASIMO.</p>
<p><span id="more-23799"></span>Going forward, Honda will continue its proactive research and development of next-generation mobility technologies, aiming always to offer more and more people the joy and fun that comes from freedom of movement.</p>
<p>Key specifications of UNI-CUB<br />
Size (L x W x H) 520 x 345 x 745 mm<br />
Seat height 745 &#8211; 825 mm<br />
Battery type Lithium-ion battery<br />
Maximum speed 6 km/h<br />
Range 6 km<br />
Application environment Barrier-free indoor environments</p>
<p><strong>Key features of UNI-CUB</strong><br />
1. Omni-directional freedom of movement similar to human walking<br />
UNI-CUB has a two-wheel configuration with a minimal wheelbase. The front wheel features the Honda Omni Traction Drive System that Honda first announced in 2009. The rear wheel moves laterally to facilitate turning. By leveraging the different rotational speeds of the front and rear wheel treads during lateral movements, UNI-CUB can move forwards and backwards, side-to-side and diagonally and also turn in place, making possible quick, nimble movement.<br />
2. Movement in harmony with other people<br />
Honda&#8217;s proprietary balance control technology makes it possible for the rider to freely control the wheels of the UNI-CUB, much as human beings maintain their balance. With a design that takes into consideration the rider&#8217;s environment, this system allows the rider to maneuver while moving side by side with or holding hands with another person.<br />
3. Compact size for moving and climbing gradients in barrier-free indoor environments<br />
Thanks to UNI-CUB&#8217;s compact saddle-style packaging, the rider and vehicle together are about the same width as a person when walking. Optimized wheel design and high-precision drive/balance control enhance UNI-CUB&#8217;s ability to climb gradients in barrier-free indoor environments.</p>
<p>4. Weight shift control combined with touch panel control<br />
When the rider is using weight shift control, UNI-CUB&#8217;s incline sensor detects the direction in which the rider is leaning, allowing UNI-CUB to calculate the direction and speed intended by the rider. And touch panel control via smartphone and other devices is another convenient control option.</p>
