Devarah "Dee" Borrego's Intro
By Devarah "Dee" Borrego
January 3, 2013
This article was cross-posted from "A Girl Like Me," a program of The Well Project.
My name is Devarah 'Dee' Borrego, and I'm a 28-year-old, HIV+ transwoman originally from Denver, Colorado, who grew up mostly in suburban Connecticut. I acquired HIV at age 20; the same year as I began my transition. I've been living in the Boston area since 2004 where I've worked with and at a number of different community organizations in the Boston area, including JRI Health, TransCEND, the Boston Living Center and Cambridge Cares About AIDS. I'm also a polyglot I speaks Spanish, French, Norwegian, American Sign Language, and a variety of other languages to various degrees.
On the national scene, I was also a founding member of the US Positive Women's Network (US PWN), an organization led by and for HIV+ American women to address the way HIV disproportionately affects women in the US. I currently serve as a Steering Committee member of the US PWN, as well as a member of their Strategic Communications Action Team. I'm also a member of the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+) North America's Young Leaders Caucus, and the co-chair of the Economic Justice Working Group for the HIV Prevention Justice Alliance (HIV PJA). In 2010, I was chosen to speak at the Opening Plenary of the US Conference on AIDS (USCA) to discuss how HIV affects transgender youth.
I attended the International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC during the summer of 2012. At the Conference, I gave presentations along with colleagues for AIDS Alliance for Youth, Families, and Children now a part of AIDS United geared at HIV+ youth and their providers on the topic of disclosure. This was also when I first became more active in blogging about the issues surrounding young, HIV+ people, especially transgender women. I'm passionate about HIV prevention, HIV criminalization, and youth outreach and education around HIV.
Why Dee wants to be a part of A Girl Like Me: I want to share my experiences as a young, HIV+ transgender woman with the world because I see so many of my trans sisters in the US and around the world being severely impacted by HIV and by ignorance about what it means to be transgender and HIV+. I see young people, especially young women and transwomen, becoming infected unnecessarily simply because society has not given them the tools to take control of their sexual health and make empowered decisions about their partners and their sexual safety. This lack of education is something that I think needs to be addressed by the system itself, but I feel that the first steps are talking to each other about our experiences as women. My hope is that by sharing my experiences here on A Girl Like Me it will allow more women who are living with HIV to learn more about the transgender community, especially those who may be supportive of the community, but are unsure of the appropriate ways to do so.

Friday of the 3rd Week
The Gospel according to Luke 7:31-35
The Lord said, "To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like? They are like children sitting in the market place and calling to one another, 'We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not weep.' For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine; and you say, 'He has a demon.' The Son of man has come eating and drinking; and you say, 'Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by all her children."

Canada to play for bronze in volleyball at Universiade
SHENZHEN, China (CIS) – Canada (5-1) was looking for a place in the gold medal game but fell short on Saturday evening losing 3-1 (27-25, 25-23, 20-25, 25-10) to Ukraine (5-1) in men's volleyball in the semifinals at the 26th Summer Universiade.
STATISTICS: CAN vs UKR
Canada had won five consecutive matches before the semis and beat South Korea in a hard-fought four setter in the quarters while the Ukraine battled and prevailed over the Czech Republic in five sets in quarterfinals action.
Canada was down two sets before summoning energy to push back and take the third set. Middle and team captain Rudy Verhoeff from Calgary was instrumental with numerous kills and blocks as Canada looked to make another comeback but to no avail. It seemed there was nothing left in the tank for the fourth as Canada tried mixing up the lineup but the Ukrainians steamed to a quick 25-10 fourth set and the match victory.
"Thought we had lots of energy after the third," Team Canada's and University of Winnipeg head coach Larry McKay. "We played pretty well for three sets but the Ukraine was just a little better today. I had no hesitation to put players into lineup that did not start and they brought good energy to group."
In the first set, Canada never held the lead while there were nine ties. The Ukrainians pushed the lead to four at 23-19 and it looked like the set was slipping away for Canada. The Red and White rode the serving of left side Karl De Grandpré of Pierreville, Que. to four straight points and played side out until the Ukrainians blocked for a 27-25 set win.
The second was a see-saw affair with setter Ciaran McGovern from Grande Prairie, Alta. subbed out for setter Jay Blankenau of Sherwood Park, Alta. at 15-10 lead for the Ukrainians before losing a close 25-23 set.
"We played smarter in the third set and tried to limit them winning points on the block. The Ukrainians were a strong team but we got away from our game," commented Rudy Verhoeff. "The first two sets we might have had nerves and not as much as aggression. I am disappointed but will play for bronze, not a championship, but still play for a medal."
Right side Spencer Leiske of Lacombe, Alta. led with 13 kills, ten digs and three blocks followed by Verhoeff with ten kills and six blocks and Blankenau with 56 assists plus McGovern added 36 assists. Andrii Tupchii had a game-high 18 kills and Dmytro Babkov registered 15 kills for the winners.
"We will try to address some of our breakdowns in our game and looking forward to playing a strong team in Brazil for bronze on Monday, " added McKay.
The last time Canada played the Ukraine at the Universiade, Canada won 3-1 (34-36, 25-20, 25-20, 25-15) in pool play in 2009.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Emery High's tennis team just completed the region season in second place behind Juan Diego, and finishing behind Juan Diego is not a bad thing considering their players.
While Emery players come from such diverse places as Huntington, Orangeville, Ferron or Elmo and places like that, the players for Juan Diego hail from places such as Japan, Austria and Bulgaria. They have taken this open enrollment thing to a whole new level.
Emery's number one doubles team of Jessica Hill and Malorie Quick finished second in region and only lost this year to Juan Diego and the defending state champs from Richfield.
Emery's number two doubles team of Darian Huntsman and Lacey Erickson went undefeated this season except the loss to Juan Diego.
Also qualifying for state this season are the three singles players. Josey Hayward at number one, Meagan Singleton at number two and Adriane Weihing at number three are all underclassmen that should be back next season.
Juan Diego dominated region this season and are the favorite to win the 3-A state championship that actually is taking place between the time I write this and the day is it published. Emery's doubles team gave the Soaring Eagles their only loss of even a set this season. Both teams took them to three games.
Others that traditionally have always done well in tennis are Ogden High and Park City. They do well again this year. Pine View might be the one team that can upset Juan Diego. The girls from each of these schools play year around and have private coaches that earn big bucks.
Coach Tom Hansen had some thoughts about his team; "We competed against the privately coached schools this season and always gave them a game. We never got out hustled by another team. I was nervous at the beginning of the season but we did well this year. The seniors stepped their game and led the team well. I was proud of our players and the county should be too."

Skip to comments.Giuliani: Palin Probably Will Run for President
Posted on 11/03/2010 11:32:22 PM PDT by RobinMasters
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday that he believes Sarah Palin will run for president in 2012.
"My guess is yes she's going to run for president," Giuliani told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "She sounds to me like somebody who's running for president."
The former presidential candidate the GOP should "put off the [2012 presidential] election" and "try to accomplish a few things first," citing a potential compromise on the extension of tax cuts set to expire at the end of the year.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
Um, we need to actually win in 2012.
"Um, we need to actually win in 2012."
MSM got you all wee wee'd up about her?
And you know better.
Sara Palin is the most exciting thing to happen in US politics since Ronald Reagan. Next to her, the rest of potential GOP candidates are lilliputian.
I know. Don't remind me.
Fear not. The myth of Obama has been shattered. No one believes his flapdoodle anymore. He will be beatable in '12. But it will be close. And hard. The combination of leftists + gubmint parasites - which won the day out here in CA - will make the incumbent very difficult to dislodge.
true, but her negatives are to high with too many voters to allow her to win the presidency. too early to be handicapping but i'm thinking pence / rubio is a stronger ticket.
My understanding is that Pence is running for Governor.
Rubio just became a Senator in waiting.
I don't think the next nominee has emerged yet.
It will be interesting to watch the establishment vs the Country Class.
I hope the Country Class wins.
That's possible. the only problem is that a vacuum will be filled by romney if we wait too long and that would only occur after a very destructive battle between palin supporters and his supporters. someone else needs to begin making a move.
My personal opinion...Romney won't be able to fill any vacuum. Heck...he IS a vacuum!
Obama unwittingly killed Romney's chances with Obamacare. Most people didn't know about Romneycare until Obama upstaged him by going national with it.
I believe that we will see someone fresh and new on the Presidential front...someone we've not seen before in this arena.
BTW, I love Sarah, and voted for her in '08. I love what she's doing now, and hope she won't be sidetracked by any ole presidential election...just yet.
Sarah is taking flak for her success in this election. Nightline trash tonight and Jay Leno has Megan Mc Pain on trashing her and the Tea Party as well.
i can never figure out why anyone even gives that ignorant clown a microphone let alone listen to anything she has to say
Amazing isn't it?
Bristal Palin: I would love to see my mom run, Bristol told Access Hollywood Lives Kit Hoover, at a Los Angeles rehearsal for Dancing on Friday.
"i can never figure out why anyone even gives that ignorant clown a microphone let alone listen to anything she has to say"
Mastered that whole shoe-tying thing yet?
anticeecee....when you get a minute, can you give me the run-down on what was said on Nightline and Leno tonight?
((( antceecee ))) now you know those shows are not good for our health and well being...! :)
As for Meghan McCain, some 'jokes' are funny, but she's just stupid and obese.
She tried to sell her silly book by invoking Sarah's name, but that backfired and now her book is somewhere like # 999,000 on amazon.
Once she starts campaigning, her negatives will go down. She's the real thing.
At least she didn't have her boobs hanging out tonight.
That's a very hopeful number for Palin.
she campaigned two years ago.
We need to not fool ourselves. The Republican party had losses in the WV, Colorado, and NV Senate, close races in Ohio and Pennsylvania and Washington, and this was in a mid-term election with historically high support of the GOP . . . and a disinterested black vote. The black vote will come out in 2012 for Obama and that will make a lot of states closer.
Countering that is Obama's massive unpopularity, which was much much higher than Manchins, Murrays etc.
I sure don't want another Republican light president when our country is at stake. So we've got to keep working.
LOL. She is a boob.
Good night!
Stop electing clowns into the most important office of this world ! It's been a quite unimpressive run since carter - the only guy with a plan and some own authority in these times was Bush senior.
The only "plan" I saw out of Bush Sr. was to break his "no new taxes" pledge, allow Saddam Hussein to escape the Gulf War intact, setting the stage for the events that led to the war that is still ongoing, and losing what should have been a slam-dunk re-election to Bill Clinton. The Bush Sr. presidency was hardly a distinguished one and for all the faults of his son, he was a much better president than his father.
It sounds like you are nostalgic for the "dignified" presidents of the past where every word uttered was statesmanlike. In today's media-saturated world, where everybody's imperfections are exposed for all to see, forget about it. If George Washington himself was surrounded by the "media bubble" that surrounds our current leaders 24/7, he'd come across as a grouchy, aloof, cantankerous man with bad teeth and wouldn't get elected town selectman, never mind president of the United States.
only she can help us win, who else can?

You got me well - this is exactly what I am talking about.
Dignity, Statesmen, all that - admit it - you miss it too.
Want to become president ? Shovel bags of money into the networks of buinessmen owning the media and you get coverage - have a consultant teach you what to wear and how to blink. Forget about the rest.
Throw out the actors.
Rubio I do not think can be on the ticket this soon? He has not even arranged for his staff yet.
I do REALLY like Mike Pence, Palin Pence 2012 sounds pretty good
The dwindling number of PDS'er are full of sour grapes today aren't they?
I hear what you are saying but in today's media-saturated world, it is virtually impossible for a public figure like Sarah Palin to do anything in public that is not videotaped or otherwise recorded in some manner. This makes it easy for her critics to pick and choose her more "undignified" moments to show us how unfit she is to hold public office.
Up until the last few decades, it was possible for presidents to appear always dignified for the people. They got to pick and choose when their picture or portrait would be taken and they were dressed to the nines for it. Look at any portrait of George Washington. You think he dressed that way when he did his daily rounds at Mount Vernon?
Their public addresses were carefully scripted ahead of time and because nobody was able to tape it, the newspapers could only print the text that was given to them. What if we had a video of Abraham Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address on YouTube? Would we have a different opinion of the Gettysburg Address if we were able to see how it was delivered live in person as opposed to reading it on a slab of marble at the very dignified and stately Lincoln Memorial?
Now George Washington and Abraham Lincoln had their unguarded moments as well. Washington probably spit tobacco juice on the White House floor and Lincoln probably went to fetch the mail in his underwear. But unlike the public figures of today, none of those moments were ever recorded for posterity so it is easy to look back to those years and think of these historical figures as absolutely perfect people who did the dignified thing always.
Now there is a double standard being applied between liberal and conservative public figures. Can you imagine the uproar if President George W. Bush ever emerged from his limousine looking like this?
The folks that listen and parrot the lamestream you mean?
Washington also had rotten teeth and a fistula in his left cheek caused by an abscess.
She was new to the big stage. Takes a while. Reagan himself came up short in '76. Palin - like Reagan - is a quick study. She will be fun to watch.
I don't think Sarah is "Republican light" in any way. She's great. Battle-tested in ways very few candidates have ever been.
I agree. We have to persuade the independents regarding Palin.
I agree. We have to persuade the independents regarding Palin.
Also on the same subject, we had Lyndon Johnson farting at cabinet meetings and peeing in the White House fireplace (true story). That is, when he wasn't picking his dogs up by the ears.
Watch Sarah's documentary...you know...the one that Rove called a reality show.
I saw Rove backing off...once again...his claims against Sarah.
I'd say that Sarah is at +1 bazillion. lol
She's not going to run in 2012.

JACKSON — No one's trying to take away your supertanker of soda in Mississippi. The state House passed a bill Wednesday to make sure no one ever does.
House Bill 1182 says local governments couldn't create their own food regulations. That means they couldn't replicate efforts of New York City, where there are soft drink size limits and chain restaurants have to display calories on menus.
Rep. Gregory Holloway, a Democrat from Hazlehurst, says he's unaware of groups trying to create such regulations in Mississippi, but the bill would pre-empt them.
Rep. Omeria Scott, a Democrat from Laurel says local governments should be able to set regulations to fight obesity.
The Senate on Wednesday passed a similar measure, Senate Bill 2687, to prevent local food labeling ordinances.
The two chambers exchange bills.

Love is in the Fare14/02/2008
New Zealand airline Pacific Blue today unveiled a range of fares that set a new benchmark for low-priced domestic air travel within New Zealand.
The airline has launched "Mid-Week Mini-Fares" which are available for travel on selected flights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
Pacific Blue began domestic flights between Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in November 2007 with introductory fares from $39. Since then, the airline has carried more than 250,000 Guests on its main trunk network in its first three months of flying. Inflation figures released last month showed that domestic air fares had fallen by nearly 5% since Pacific Blue brought more competition to the market.
General Manager, Commercial, Adrian Hamilton-Manns said "New Zealanders have fallen in love with our low domestic fares so we thought Valentine's Day was a perfect time to introduce even lower fares on selected days."
Mid-Week Mini-Fares are available for booking from today for travel from Tuesday 19 February 2008. The new fares are for travel on selected flights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and will be available for sale all year round at the following prices:
Wellington to Christchurch (v.v.) from $49*
Auckland to Wellington (v.v.) from $59*
Auckland to Christchurch (v.v.) from $69*.
Mr Hamilton-Manns said that the introduction of the Mid-Week Mini-Fares offered Kiwis another great reason to fly with Pacific Blue and were a further example of the airline's commitment to keeping the air fair.
"While other airlines believe that New Zealanders are happy to pay high fares if they throw in a free snack, Pacific Blue will continue to concentrate and work hard on what Kiwis really want – affordable air travel, modern aircraft, and a friendly and reliable service." he said.
Figures from Wellington Airport show that domestic passenger numbers grew by nearly 30% in January 2008 while Christchurch Airport reported passenger volumes for December 2007 rose by 11%. Both airports cited the introduction of Pacific Blue domestic flights as a key factor in passenger growth.

There are good reasons not to call an opponent's argument "ridiculous," which is what State Farm calls Barbara Bennett's principal argument here.
The reasons include civility; the near-certainty that overstatement will only push the reader away (especially when, as here, the hyperbole begins on page one of the brief); and that, even where the record supports an extreme modifier, "the better practice is usually to lay out the facts and let the court reach its own conclusions." Big Dipper Entm't, L.L.C. v. City of Warren, 641 F.3d 715, 719 (6th Cir. 2011).
But here the biggest reason is more simple: the argument that State Farm derides as ridiculous is instead correct.
Judge Raymond M. Kethledge, 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Bennett, et al. v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Ins. Co.
Robert Pastel hit Bennett with his Ford Fusion. The impact threw her on to the hood. Coverage from State Farm turned on whether Bennett was occupying the Fusion within the meaning of the policy.
"I was," said Bennett. "Ridiculous," said State Farm. "Judgment for the insurance company," said the federal district court.
Far from being ridiculous, Kethledge explained, Bennett gets the last laugh on appeal.
"Here, as a matter of ordinary English usage, one might be skeptical that Bennett was an 'occupant' of the Fusion during the time she was on its hood. Occupants are normally inside vehicles, not on them.
"But the parties to a contract can define its terms as they wish; and State Farm has done so here. Its policy for the Fusion defines 'occupying' as 'in, on, entering or alighting from.' And the parties have stipulated that Bennett was on the Fusion — specifically, on its hood — and that she 'suffered further bodily injuries' while she was there.
"Per the policy's terms, therefore, Bennett was an 'occupant' of the vehicle and thus entitled to coverage for those additional injuries."

Hi Gerd,
as mentioned in response to your discussion posting here:
I haven't seen a package behave in the manner you mention - 1sec per file. - this doesn't seem right - in fact this sounds like a badly configured browser or server - all files should be available to download concurrently instead of 1 at a time.
The File API for Moodle 2.0 is changing a lot, and the use of file.php will also be quite different - see here for more details:
We won't be looking at putting in a new file handler just for the SCORM objects at this stage. However this may be something we look into with the new File API in Moodle 2.0
A patch file demonstrating not to use file.php for SCORM content transfer, to speed up SCORM page loading.
While loading a course, a series of scripts are executed on the server. We zoomed in on these scripts that load the SCOs and removed redundant code for a system running courses locally from the server on a php 5 and apache 2.
We replaced the original file file.php with a Fastfileparser.php and redid the tests.
Result: the client-side loading time drastically improved. A SCORM package preloading about 80 small image files took 57 seconds to load. On the same server using the patch it took only 9 seconds for the same screen.
Maybe you can also test SCORM loading with a SCORM page containing a lot of small image files.

Hi Gerd, can you plese provide the fastfileparser file as well? - thanks.
also - it looks like you're using an old version of LoadSCO.php - we no longer use get_file_url() as slashargs don't work with SCORM so there's no point in checking for it. - see
MDL-16060 for more details.
In the diagram you can see the concept of our solution. Please have a look at it. We would appreciate your feedback.
|MDL_16271.jpeg [ 15079 ]
Ok Dan,
We usualy do all our test on Moodle version 1.9.2+, since that's the environment that we are preparing for production. We've also tested with the head version of CVS, with simular results. Please check out the diagram for a possible solution.
Hi Gerd,
I'm still not sold on this. - You haven't provided an example of your fastfileparser.php. Also one of the critical functions of file.php is the security checks - to check if the user is allowed access to the file they have requested. How will your fastfileparser.php file address this?
Also - you still have not addressed my query regarding your claims on load time. 1 sec per file does not seem correct.
MDL-16088 contains major changes in scorm file handling, the files are now server by pluginfile.php, it is now possible to use much longer cache lifetime. I has more security checks, but I hope the perf will be better.
I did not read your patch yet, going to do that later today
thanks for the report anyway
|Fix Version/s
|2.0 [ 10122 ]
Following your questions you can find:
- A content package for testing the loading time. We will use this package for testing the issue from now on.
- The fastfileparser.php
- The loadsco.php that we use initiate the fastfileparser.php
We are aware that this does not cover all security issues yet, but we think that we can look at this part of the code for performance improvement and then again at the whole (security issues included).

|20080910_loadSCO.patch [ 15126 ]
Hi Gerd,
as it stands, your patch introduces more issues than it solves.
Security is very important for most Scorm designers. - using your patch anyone could obtain a scorm package.... in fact... using your patch, anyone could obtain any data they wanted from moodledata - including submitted assignments, and a range of data that should not be available without authenticating.
The script you have written introduces this massive security hole into Moodle.
Also - your script requires manual configuration of the moodledata path.
the moodledata path is already stored in config.php - any other script should obtain that information from config.php and should not require manual configuration.
Dear Dan,
You were quite right to point out the security issue in regard to the fastfileparser.
Following your remarks we have:
- Repeated the test with the most recent CVS version.
- Have found a solution to make our fastFileParser script secure.
Steps of the current system:
1. User clicks on Enter to open the SCORM course
2. SCORM player loads (player.php)
3. SCORM player loads the imsmanifest.xml file to build SCORM tree
4. SCORM player sets up API
5. SCORM player waits 2 seconds
6. SCORM player loads loadsco.php in iFrame that checks for SCO or asset to load.
7. Loadsco.php forwards itself to an asset or SCO via file.php.
8. That asset or SCO resolves all related content e.g. images throug the file.php.
9. The page is then displayed.
Steps of the solution proposed:
1. Steps 1 to 4 are performed just once, the first time any page from the package is loaded.
2. Steps 5 to 7 are replaced. The right SCO is immediately loaded in the iFrame through the fastfileparser.php
3. Fastfileparser.php is secured by the use of session variables created by loadsco.php. This is much faster than config.php
4. That asset or SCO resolves all related content e.g. images throug the fastfileparser.php
5. The page is then displayed.
Each other SCO or asset gets loaded in the iFrame without refreshing the SCORM player. This means that in our setup, steps 1 to 5 from the standard Moodle are redundant on subsequent pages.
See attachments '20080926_fastFileParser.php' and ''20080926_loadSCO.php'.
From our test results we think it is worth while to investigate this solution, although we still have the path to the data- folder and mimetypes hardcoded at this time. It would be nice to find a structual solution for this also.
One last remark: we have noticed that in the new version from CVS uploading SCORM packages is limited to 1MB. At VDAB only 5 of a total of 160 SCORM packages are smaller than 1MB. Is there a special reason for this limit?
|20080926_fastFileParser.php [ 15243 ]
|20080926_loadSCO.php [ 15244 ]
|Minor [ 4 ]
|Critical [ 2 ]
Hi Gerd,
haven't had a chance to look at this further - I have a range of other things that need my focus. Also - Hard coding vars isn't a viable option.
might look at this again in a couple of months.
Hi Dan,
I understand that you're very bussy at the moment. We keep on working on our version of the SCORM player because the performance issue is really critical, and even a show stopper, for going in production with Moodle. We will try to follow as closely as possible the guidelines for development for Moodle, this in order to provide in the end an alternative module for the SCORM player.
We will publish all our results so that you can follow the progress, and we invite other members of the Moodle community to do some testing. Feedback can be sent to me by e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
The current version of our SCORM player includes:
- a fast SCORM file parser
- in line security
- a dynamic player for the SCORM packages (This means that the player and the SCORM tree are loaded only once when opening the SCORM package.)
The next problem that we will tackle is the SCORM communication API object.
Remark: in the bottom left corner the activities block should be visible (= a customisation for VDAB)
Kind regards,
|20081014_VDABmoodle.zip [ 15395 ]
Hi Gerd,
Thanks for all the work you put towards this, but I'm now closing this issue as won't fix - The SCORM module in Moodle MUST use core functions for serving files to meet internal coding guidelines/security guidelines etc.
handling of files in Moodle 2.0 has also changed significantly meaning that the above patches won't apply to Moodle 2.0 either.
There is a really nice player in the new Moodle 2.0 IMSCP module that would be good to replace the existing SCORM player, and this uses Moodle core functions for it's file handling in a correct manner. If someone has some time to put towards this it will improve the UI significantly.
thanks again for sharing your work - feel free to provide any other SCORM related patches you might have and we'll review them for inclusion.

Get Comprehensive Memory, Cognitive and Overall Brain Health Support with Powerful Nutritional Duo!
Mind & Memory Essentials™ gives you the brain boost you deserve with…
- Ingredient clinically shown to improve cognitive function—fast
- Support for normal working memory
- Overall support for long-term brain health
- Support for focus, attention, and enhanced mood
The unique ingredients in my Mind & Memory Essentials have been shown to support the overall health of your brain, improve cognitive function, increase mental sharpness, reduce mental fatigue, and support mood. What's more, the clinically studied, bioavailable forms of well-established nutrients work fast with just one easy pill a day!
Featuring superstar LongVida®—a brain nutrient like no other!
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been used as a traditional medicine, spice, and natural coloring agent for thousands of years. And the scientific world has taken notice. In the past 15 years, nearly 6,500 scientific papers have been published on the therapeutic properties of turmeric and curcumin, its most active constituent.
However, curcumin is not readily absorbed into the bloodstream. And without absorption, it cannot do its job. That's what makes LongVida so incredible. Developed by researchers at UCLA, LongVida is an enhanced curcumin extract that uses SLCP™ (Solid Lipid Curcumin Particle) technology to deliver free curcumin through permeability, solubility, and stability of the active ingredient.
In other words, this specialized technology protects the curcumin molecule from the harsh environment of the stomach, allowing it to dissolve once it's absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract and then smoothly cross into the bloodstream.
LongVida supports memory, alertness, attention, mood, and more!
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial, older adults were given 400 mg per day of LongVida (the dosage in Mind & Memory Essentials) or a placebo for 30 days to analyze the effects on cognitive function, performance, and mood.
Using two well-established mental performance tests, cognitive and mood assessments were performed prior to taking curcumin, as well as 1 hour and 3 hours afterwards. Testing was repeated on days 1 and 30. The goal was to determine Longvida's beneficial effect on reaction time, accuracy, sustained attention, motor speed, mental energy (fatigue), alertness, calmness, and contentedness.
Cognitive results within hours! Plus, long-term mood benefits after 30 days
Improved measurements of cognitive function were observed when the study participants were retested 1 and 3 hours after taking LongVida. And mood was enhanced after 30 days. These improved measures of fatigue, alertness, calmness, contentment, attention, and working memory demonstrate LongVida's positive cognitive effects in healthy older adults.1
Exclusive Formula Includes3 More Brain and Memory Powerhouses
Huperzine A keeps your mind sharp and supports your working memory
Derived from the Chinese club moss plant and used for centuries in Chinese medicine, Huperzine A supports healthy acetylcholine levels in the brain, which is critical for normal memory function and overall brain and cognitive health.
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter, one of the chemicals that neurons use to communicate with one another. It's produced in several locations in the brain and is thought to promote learning. In numerous clinical studies Huperzine A has shown notable benefits regarding cognitive and brain health.
Highly bioavailable B vitamins boost energy and promote long-term brain health
As you may know, the B family of vitamins are vital multitaskers. They are involved in everything from cognitive function and mood to energy production and heart health. There have been numerous studies on the effectiveness of B vitamins, especially folic acid, B6, and B12. But when it comes to brain health, some forms of these vitamins are better than others. Take folic acid, for example.
Most supplements include the synthetic form of folic acid that your body must convert to be effective. Clinically studied and award-winning Quatrefolic® is a highly bioavailable, already converted form of folate—which is critical for supporting normal levels of homocysteine.
In addition, Mind & Memory Essentials contains methylcobalamin, the most bioavailable form of vitamin B12, which is essential for brain and central nervous system functioning, and vitamin B6, which is important for neural functioning, cognitive development, and the production of serotonin and dopamine.
BioPerine® helps increase bioavailability of nutritional compounds in the brain
BioPerine is a natural extract obtained from the black pepper fruit, Piper nigrum, which is cultivated in the damp, nutrient-rich soils of southern India. BioPerine has been clinically shown to enhance the absorption of curcumin in the blood—scientists estimate it may increase absorption by as great as 2,000 times!—and help increase its bioavailability in the brain.
Specifically, research showed that when participants were given curcumin alone or curcumin with BioPerine, the serum concentrations of curcumin were significantly increased with BioPerine.2
Add Acetyl L-Carnitine to Give Your Brain That Extra Edge!
Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC) is an important nutrient for supporting long-term mental function. When added to my Mind & Memory Essentials, it gives your brain the extra nutritional edge. ALC plays two vital roles when it comes to your brain.
First, it's a potent free-radical fighter, and second, it revs up your brain for increased mental energy. Not everyone needs the extra support of ALC. But, if you're looking for additional support, this versatile nutrient can make a dramatic difference and give you a much-needed boost in your mental confidence.
Acetyl L-Carnitine…
- Stimulates the synthesis of acetylcholine, your brain's most important neurotransmitter for memory, thinking, and clarity of mind
- Enhances mental stamina by increasing cellular energy production in your brain
- Nourishes and supports your nerve cell network
- Gives your brain potent support against free-radical damage
Together, Mind & Memory Essentials and Acetyl L-Carnitine give you total brain support for improved mental clarity and cognitive performance.

Science and Quality
Clinical Evidence for LongVida® Optimized Curcumin Extract
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 60 healthy adults (60-84 years old) were randomly assigned 400mg/d of LongVida or identical placebo for 30 days to analyze the effects LongVida on cognitive function/ performance and mood using the Computerized Mental Performance Assessment System (COMPASS) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S).
RESULTS: LongVida supported improved measurements in cognitive function in older healthy individuals after acute and long-term dosing and mood after long-term supplementation. These improved measures of fatigue, alertness, calmness, contentment, and attention and working memory show Longvida's beneficial effect on mental status in a healthy older population.
- Reaction Time: On the first day, the average reaction time for the LongVida group showed a significant improvement after both one hour and three hours after taking the Longvida. On day 30, the LongVida group again demonstrated a significant improvement at both one hour (and three hours) while the placebo group had no change.
- Accuracy: On day one the number of correct responses increased while the placebo declined after 1 hour.
- Digit Vigilance Tasks: a test using rapid visual tracking measuring sustained attention and motor speed. It is often used to assess mental energy, alertness, attention, and focus. Treatment with LongVida had a significant acute effect on accuracy during the Digit Vigilance task at one-hour versus the control.
- Fatigue: A significant benefit of 30-day LongVida on measures of fatigue was observed as well. The control group showed a significant increase in fatigue after completing cognitive testing.
- Alertness: On day 30, subjects in the placebo group noted a significant decline in their subjective feeling of alertness after one hour and three hours, while there was no significant change in alertness among the treatment group. This suggests that 30-day dosing of LongVida may help prevent reduced alertness from prolonged cognitive exertion.
- Calmness: A significant benefit of LongVida on scores of calmness were observed after 30 days .
- Contentedness: A significant benefit of 30-day LongVida was observed after 30 days on scores of contentedness following cognitive testing.

|Jared Dudley
|Jared Dudley
Limited early on by foul trouble and sparse playing time before we arrived in Orlando, Jared Dudley seemed to have saved his best for the final three games that we personally took in after arriving from Las Vegas. We saw one of the most skilled and confident rookies of any of the first round picks, a player who looks ready to step in and get serious playing time from day one with the Bobcats.
If you saw Dudley play in college, then you have a pretty good idea of how he played in the summer league as well. The only differences would be in the way his body looks and the fact that hes expanded his shooting range considerably over the past 3-4 months. Dudley has lost at least 20 pounds since his BC days and is now in absolutely phenomenal shape. This has helped his lateral quickness considerably, and he indeed did a fine job throughout the camp defending the small forward position with his typical intensity and fundamental play. Putting the ball on the floor, Dudley looked noticeably quicker in his initial first step, and is now more adept at getting off the ground and finishing thanks to his improved leaping ability and body control. If the lane was too clogged, Dudley showed no problem pulling up off the dribble for a mid-range jumper, or hitting a spot-up 3-pointer from NBA range. To round out his game, Dudley also contributed his typical toughness and intensity on the glass.
It will be interesting to see if Dudley will be able to crack Charlottes rotation this year, since they could very well be the most stacked team in the NBA now at his position. Dudley will have to show that he can defend NBA caliber small forwards to do so, as well as display his improved perimeter shooting stroke once training camp begins.
Our staffs unanimous MVP, Jared Dudley embodies exactly the type of underrated role-player that NBA teams can seek out here to help them win games. He did a terrific job showing off the many facets of his game, crashing the boards with 14 rebounds in 40 minutes over the last two games, pushing the ball up the floor with terrific poise, dishing out some excellent assists, playing very smart, tough defense at the small forward position, and shooting the ball extremely well from 18-22 feet out. He played unselfish, winning basketballshooting 60% from the field and 89% from the free throw lineshowing outstanding leadership skills amongst his teammates and carrying Team Four on his back late in the last game when they needed some clutch points to pull off the victory. As it turns out, he didnt lead the strongest conference in America in points and rebounds while shooting 56% from the field and 44% from behind the arc and dishing out 3 assists per game for nothing. Who would have thought?
While most ACC player of the year award winners wouldnt come anywhere this event if not for the physical only portion of the camp, Dudley was here showing NBA executives how he can be of service to them next year. He certainly has his limitationsshot-creating ability, a lack of explosiveness around the rim, lateral quicknessbut to his credit, he is very much aware of them and wants to be drafted by a team where he can minimize them in an effort to compliment other players and win games. He clearly has the basketball IQ to do so, already having figured out how to get the most of his skills. Now that hes figured out that he needs to abandon the college mentality of outmuscling the competition to outquicking them (hes already lost over 12 pounds), hes already improving his physical attributes, with even more room to go. His teammate Craig Smith at Boston College was underappreciated by draft gurus (DraftExpress included) similarly exactly one year ago, and went onto be one of the best rookies in the NBA this past season. We learned our lesson not to dismiss the non-prototypes even if they dont physically look exactly like most NBA superstars will NBA GMs do the same?
Jared Dudley started off this game slow, not doing much for the first 37 minutes of the game, but he really came on strong with 3 minutes to go, going on a tear and really making an impact in many ways for his team in what was a very close game. Dudley started off the game by making a few offensive rebounds, scoring off one and missing off the other. He had a nice cut into the lane in which he caught the ball and quickly shot a fadeaway jumper from five feet out, drawing the foul on the play as well. He made a few nice passes over the course of the game, but missed on both of his outside shot attempts leading up to the final three minutes.
In the final three minutes of the game, Dudley aggressively pursued the basketball and showed how dangerous of a player he can be. He made an extremely nice play on a left-handed drive off a cut, drawing contact and fading away for a floater from eight feet, also getting the and-1 on the play. Next he pulled up from 15 feet for a very smooth mid-range jumper, followed by a putback tip on the next possession. Finally, he secured an offensive rebound with 15 seconds to go with his team up one, securing the game for his team. He crashed the boards aggressively throughout the game, always being amidst the crowd.
Dudley has a very good chance of being the highest player taken from this camp, and has a definite shot to go in the first round, where he would be a nice pick-up late for a team already in playoff contention every year. He has a winners attitude about him and his tough-nosed style of play coupled with his mid-range shooting and ability to finish at the basket and get to the free throw line will allow him to make fast contributions wherever he goes.
No, Jared Dudley doesnt appear to have a natural NBA position. It doesnt look like hes worked much on his physique since the season ended. But after todays phenomenal performance, it is fairly obvious that he will find a place in the NBA. His predecessor at Boston College, Craig Smith, had a phenomenal year in Minnesota and Dudley brings much of the same court savvy and experience to the table.
Dudley positively impacted the game nearly every time he touched the ball, whether it was finding teammates with beautiful passes (the 1 assist he was credited with in the box score is flat out wrong), hitting the glass with reckless abandon, always making the right decision on whether to take off up the court on his own or fire off a crisp outlet pass, or knocking down the open jumper with ease. Dudley is clearly on a different level in terms of his understanding of the game, and even though his team didnt always get him looks in the halfcourt, Dudley found a way to make his presence felt.
Dudley is going to be the type of player that every successful team needs. He might not blow anybody away with any fancy individual skill, but the remarkable efficiency with which he seeks out small ways to contribute and converts is going to get him drafted, perhaps in the first round.
7 points in 17 minutes on three field goal attempts was probably not the way Jared Dudley wanted to finish his first game, but considering the incredibly poor level of play that was displayed by virtually everyone on the floor, it probably wasnt all that bad. To his credit, he did look very smart and skilled in the drills this morning. In the actual game, Dudley was pretty vocal amongst his teammates, taking the ball to the basket and finishing in transition. He also swished an NBA 3-pointer when left open. His shot-creating skills didnt look great, but he didnt necessarily force the issue. Defensively, he did a nice job. Considering that he led the ACC in rebounds while standing 6-7, we tend to think that him only grabbing one rebound today should be an aberration.[Read Full Article]
Dudley once again showed those who were in attendance why he was such a celebrated player in the ACC. Nothing Dudley did was spectacular, but he was able to read the court and create plays for himself and teammates.
Dudley scored the ball on a couple of plays from his preferred elbow position and fed the ball around the perimeter, even lobbing a nice entry pass on occasion into a cutting teammate for the easy bucket.
Dudley is down 10 pounds since the season ended according to what he told us, from 229 to 219. Considering his size and relative lack of athleticism, he will almost certainly need to play quite a bit of small forward, meaning that getting into tip-top shape is an absolute necessity. He still has another 8-10 pounds he can shed off his frame before the draft rolls around from what we can tell, and it should help him get quicker and more explosive on both ends of the floor.
Dudley was one of the more impressive guys weve seen in shooting drills so far. His mechanics are excellent, featuring a high release point well above his head and a very nice following through. The most important thing here is that his shot looks identical every single time he shoots it, and so do the results for the most part. Dudley barely missed on the one-dribble pull-ups, showing great footwork, terrific touch and the utmost confidence in himself. He hit about 80% of his college 3-pointers (36/45), and a scintillating 38/50 NBA 3-pointers (76%).
In the one on one drills against Marcus Williams his weaknesses began to come out, though. Williams took him off the dribble with ease for the most part, exposing his lack of lateral quickness and biting too often for the series of pump-fakes and jab-steps he threw his way. Offensively he attempted to create his own shot off the dribble exclusively rather than taking advantage of the strength advantage he has on him in the post, which revealed his average first step.
Dudley did not have the benefit of a five on five setting (he went home before the second day) to show off the strengths that make him such a unique player, including his passing, rebounding, back to the basket skills, and overall feel for the game. He is a player that thrives in the team setting and needs shots created for him, freeing him up to do all the little things for his team. His numbers19 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 55% FG and 44% 3Pspeak for themself, and it will be interesting to see how he translates his floor game to the unique setting of the Orlando pre-draft camp. Hes a guy that wont jump off the page at you unless you really watch him closely to take in all the different things he brings to the table.
It was a slow start for Jared Dudley against Texas Tech, but his effort in the game went far beyond the numbers. Foul trouble was a key factor for him throughout the daywith 3 fouls in the first half-- but his effort down the stretch was essential in Boston College getting past a tough Texas Tech team.
Though Dudley has displayed the ability to step out and hit the three point shot this season, he struggled to get it going from the perimeter against the Red Raiders defense. He started the game with a strong power move down on the block, but was immediately tagged with an offensive foul. He was able to make a back to the basket move and score a couple possessions later, but generally struggled to find his touch.
In the second half, Dudley started strong, scoring on an offensive rebound tip-in, and making a beautiful pass to a cutting teammate. The perimeter game never appeared for him today, and he missed a couple of outside looks badly. His inside game was dominant however. Dudley scored a number of his points by receiving the ball in the post, where he is a threat to either face up or back his way to the basket. The combination of footwork, ball handling, power, and touch all came together for Dudley, giving him the edge any time he touched the ball in the second half.
When it comes to the NBA, Dudley will be thought of as a tweener, but he has displayed the ability to shoot the three and handle the ball this season. Though he displayed his array of skills inside today, it will be important for him to get his perimeter game going for the next round of the NCAA tournament.
Dudley came into this game with only 22 made 3-pointers under his belt all season, but that didnt stop him from knocking down 4 of his 5 attempts to lift his percentages into the 50% range on the year. He picked his spots beautifully and found open spaces on the floor from which to get his shot off all game long despite being the clear focal point of the defense, moving off the ball with precision, setting and using screens intelligently and always being in the right place at the right time to make a productive play. He showed why hes ranked the 2nd best rebounder in the ACC right now, coming away with 7 offensive boards and converting many of them instantly into two points off a tip-in or put-back. Dudley has massive hands and is terrific at using his body to box players out off the block, and his super high basketball IQ and outstanding instincts do the rest in terms of getting the job done.
In the half-court offense, Dudley is never going to wow you, but he just makes plays and always sets the tempo for his team. He likes to set up with his back to the basket and use his excellent footwork to create contact and spin off his man towards the hoop, showing great touch and awareness to convert smoothly off the glass, and drawing plenty of fouls in the process. Facing the basket, hes terrific at using pump-fakes to get his man in the air and then take the ball to the cup, usually to pull up off the dribble for a nice looking mid-range jumper. He is severely lacking in the first step department and really does not like to put the ball on the floor that often, but is actually a pretty good ball-handler when he has some space to maneuver around defenses. His lack of athleticism is obviously a hindrance here, though.
Coming off screens, Dudley has become very good at knocking down shots with his feet set, showing excellent shooting mechanics even if his release isnt super quick. If the perimeter is too crowded, he wont stop moving off the ball and will look for a seam in the defense to cut backdoor instead. Hes a patient guy who doesnt force a thing and gets every point of production well within the flow of the offense. His best attribute as a player might actually be his passing, coming up at right around 3.3 assists for the third season in a row, which tells you a little bit about just how smart he is.
Generally speaking, Dudley is not exactly the prototype NBA scouts look for in a small forward. Hes pretty slow and there are major question marks about his ability to create offense for himself off the dribble or defend his position. With that said, there is certainly a place for someone who understands his role and is capable of being a skilled role player in a structured system. His intangibles are off the charts both in the way he carries himself on the court and especially his work ethic and attitude off it, always being described as an absolute basketball junkie and an outstanding teammate. Theres also something to be said for a guy who has put up huge numbers in arguably the best conference in America over the course of four years, and has won plenty of games in the process. If he lands in the right situation, dont be surprised if he ends up having a Ryan Gomes-type impact in the pros. His weaknesses are pretty obvious on first glance and he wont blow anyone away with his upside, but hes the type of player playoff teams need to help win games, and is ready to step in and produce from day one.
During his first three years at Boston College, Jared Dudley established himself as one of the most difficult matchups in the NCAA at the forward position. Entering his senior year, he not only has to take over his teams leading role after Craig Smith finished his career at BC, but he also needs to show NBA scouts that his game will translate to the next level. After averaging 16.7 PPG last year, Dudley will probably need to score even more now, and will almost certainly need to quickly adjust to being a focal point of defensive efforts from opposing teams. He will have a chance to show even more passing skills than last season (3.2 assists per game), since without Craig Smith it will now be him who should draw double teams on nightly basis. Thanks to his very advanced interior passing game, players like Sean Williams or John Oates should get plenty of easy lay-ups or dunks.
But for now there are more questions than clear answers regarding his NBA future. And it isn't always Dudley's fault - part of the problem is the system and size of BCs team. With so many teams starting 3-guards, a player like Dudley who is 6'7 and weighed around 240 pounds last year had a clear size advantage at the Small Forward spot. His size, as well as his aggressive and physical style of play, allows him to post-up smaller defenders and score the majority of his points from inside the paint. Is it successful? Absolutely. Will he be able to play the same way in NBA? Most likely not. Without being a Corliss Williamson-type player, it's impossible to imagine that a 6'7 Small Forward can find a niche in the NBA operating mostly inside the paint.
If Jared Dudley wants to be considered a serious NBA Draft prospect, he has to show more perimeter skills in this upcoming season. For now he is a consistent mid-range shooter and can also hit spot-up 3-pointers on a decent percentage (35% last season), but on a low number of attempts (under one make per game). He has a high release point on his jumper, but probably isn't ready yet to shoot consistently from the NBA 3-point line, particularly when off-balance. He also rarely beats his opponent off the dribble, mostly because of his lack of quickness and average ball-handling skills. He also has problems on the defensive end he is not quick enough chasing opposing players through screens or staying in front of them in man to man. He usually works hard on both ends of the floor and rarely takes plays off, but he clearly isn't athletic enough in defending the perimeter, and just like on the offensive end, he looks much more comfortable when operating closer to the basket.
It would be a surprise to see Al Skinner changing Dudley's role on offense, after it worked so well over the last few years. So we can expect to again see him destroying smaller and/or weaker defenders and operating mostly around the rim. In this case, a good showing at pre-draft camps and private workouts, where he will have a chance to demonstrate his legit perimeter game, will be crucial for him. The news out of BC this offseason says that Dudley has lost close to 20 pounds, which is an interesting development to follow.
Dudley is a talented forward who started his collegiate career as more of a power forward, but is slowly moving his game out to the perimeter. His outside shot has improved greatly over the past two years, and his three point field goal percentage is up to 34% this season. To really attract the attention of NBA scouts, Dudley will need to further develop his ball handling skills, and keep working on his perimeter shot. He is not a superb athlete, but makes up for this with the way he contributes in other parts of the game, mainly his toughness.
In the NCAA tournament, Dudley will be asked to create more shots for himself than hed probably prefer, but will be able to do so because of the fact that he plays heavy minutes at the power forward position going up against players that are slower than him. When Boston College goes big with Smith at the 4 and Williams at the 5, look for Dudley to use his back to the basket game facing up with smaller players. If Dudley can constantly be a match-up problem for the opposition during the NCAA tournament, it will vastly improve Boston Colleges chances of winning games. Dudley is a smart player and a hard worker, and though its tough to see him be anything better than a second round pick at this point because of his average perimeter skills and athletic ability. Another summer of polish could greatly help Jared Dudleys draft stock going into the 2006-2007 season.

Will require some great coders to build it and will raise the costs for the gaming development. * Ability to dye armor. old news games have been doing this for awhile, btu still will be welcomed. * New playable races like Minotaurs and Zombies. Er maybe you're heard of the races called "Tauren and Undead". * Player housing and ship building. Old again as this has bee going on for a long time even in older mmos 10 years old. See FFXI, EQ, and Vanguard. still nice to see it.
In all wow2 needs more features than that to attract players from WoW1. If its going to be WoW2 make it a prequal thousands of years in the past or future not the same present timeline everyone is dead!
Me personally i wouldn't play WoW2 unless there are some Large significant changes to MMO's. I loved WoW before but the fun isn't there for me anymore. It treated me good up till 2-3 years ago.
Below is where we can disscuss and come up with new ideas for Sandparks!
I'm not sure which setting, though I would agree with Sci-fi, but I'm pretty sure I know why they haven't said anything.
One, they don't have to push it with 10M subs for "that other game".
Two, they are known to take forever to release anything.
Three, they probably did an "oh, ^%@$!" at the market and it was most likely a themepark game like WoW so they are "reimagining" the game with this in mind.
I'll take a shot in the dark and say it's a Sci-fi game that has procedurally generated worlds. You can visit and be a part of these planets from space where you land on the ground like other world-based MMOs. Housing? HA! I have my own planet with generated cities, outposts and NPCs! Maybe it's just a marsh planet and I move on. Spaceships, expanding universe, maybe some high tech steampunk type tie in to magic and fantasy weapons. Player made content would be fantastic.
I've only heard rumors and most from way back. Word was it was more along the lines of sci-fi (no way confirmed) with more fps style play or so called "modern-mmo controls" what ever the f#ck that means. It's stressed to be a totally original IP by Bioware. Supposed leaks came out of contractors in Korea with animation stills but frankly could be for any of their games. Some though original sci-fi'ish art while others attached it to perhaps Star Craft series or something.
Basically hell if I know
You stay sassy!

Bioware = EA, Blizzard = Activision. So safe to say that your comment on IP ain't happening!

Yea Darkwatch...which mixes steampunk, western and horror.
Oh man.... *anything* but steampunk!! I hate that stuff.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.
It's a new IP - we know that for a fact as Blizzard have confirmed that several times, everything else is just piss in the wind.
My hope is for an MMORTS, we've yet to have a real MMORTS with any real sense of persistance, as with WoW I think Blizzard is shape the future of the MMORTS if they do it.
Pessimistic: A on-rails game that's simple to learn and simple to master with little complexity and barely any thought required. If they go this route then they'll probably make it multi-platform, maybe for the next generation of consoles. Free to play with RMAH and cash shop.
Optimistic: I hope they've decided to make a sandboxy space MMO with exploration and opportunity for players to be creative on planets and other objects in space they discover. Minecraft has shown that many people love building things, I see alot of potential for more of that aspect to be added in an MMO. The game would ideally have a deep crafting system and PvP with focus on fighting over valuable resources, control over areas in space aswell as on planets. Subscription without RMAH/cash shop ideally, or buy to play with fluffy item cash shop.

They said it was aimed at the casual market rather than the hardcore MMO market. This was back before WoW itself was converted to a very casual game, so I don't know how relevant that comment is anymore. The way it was mentioned was like it was meant to be a social MMO rather than a raid or dungeon MMO.
analyst claimed Titan was a "casual mmo" last year - 2011 (well after WOW had gone casual)
things change all the time
until Blizzard makes a formal announcement, nothing is set in stone

I am huge fan of many of their games (D2, SC 2, WoW) and I am convinced their top developers are capable of delivering something truly amazing (capable of does not mean they necessarily will).
They said their MMO has expected life cycle of 20 years (correct me if I am wrong), so that it probably is not like anything we have seen so far since life cycle of recent games is 3 months with subs, prolonged to 1-2 years after switching to F2P (proly inaccurate, just using these numbers to make a point).
What makes me concerned is that the game has been in development for how long already...4...5 years? I think that there was a shift of MMO community's preferences which was reflected by fail of most of recent themepark MMOs. Maybe I am wrong, but to me it seems that people start asking for more depth and rather sandboxy features. If Titan has been in development for so many years already, it is possible / probable (not sure what the % probability is) that Titan may not respond to that shift and be obsolete in design. Look at TESO, they probably started its development when themeparks were at their peak and look how it was received by the community...
Just my thoughts. I truly hope that it will be amazing game which will finally make me leave WoW for good. I put a lot of my hopes into this game without actually seeing it only because of the names working on it and the products they already created in the past.
Considering that Mr. Kotick the CEO of Activision stated that in his opinion the future of gaming is in apps and that Blizzard hired an advertising executive to the developement team im thinking itll be more in line with a modern day to Futuristic MMO. Think maybe blade runner or cyberpunk style possibly? itll be playable from your mobile device through apps and have advertisements in it.
This is of course all hypothetical considering that Blizzard has always been tight lipped about its projects after giving them code names. However I do agree with manyhere that it will probably not be a fantasy based game since they would be competing directly with games like Citadel of Sorcery and Star Citizen if they keep to tradition and miss thier estimated release date my months.
Then again I would love to see a Star Craft MMO style game. We dont have many space MMO's that fully intergrate MMO and RPG functions. Even Chris Roberts states that Star Citizen wont be an MMO even though players can play together online in a massive universe and even impact said universe throught thier actions. i would love to play a brood and be part of a massive zerg with hundreds of other players as we compete for control of the galaxy. but alas, this is all a dream. Blizzard stopped listening to players several years ago, what better evidence could there to this than that annoyingly disappointing Diablo 3?
Played: UO, LotR, WoW, SWG, DDO, AoC, EVE, Warhammer, TF2, EQ2, SWTOR, TSW, CSS, KF, L4D, AoW, WoT
Playing: The Secret World until Citadel of Sorcery goes into Alpha testing.
Tired of: Linear quest games, dailies, and dumbed down games
Anticipating:Citadel of Sorcery
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.

I think it will be the most luxurious and magnificent game to ever venture out. I think that there will be a crucial design flaw that will cause the entire project to sink after hitting an "iceberg" that exposes the critical flaw during it's "maiden voyage". People will make a sappy love story about it 90 years later.
Well played

What a Tough-Love Sheriff Left Behind
Joe Arpaio's jail deports a dead man walking, and a Mexican family grieves.
Long before Arizona passed its anti-immigrant law, Sheriff Joe Arpaio was taking border enforcement into his own hands—directing his deputies to check the immigration status of people they encountered in anything from a routine traffic stop to simply walking down the street. This photo essay documents one Mexican family's grief over the death of their son, David de la Fuente, who was jailed for driving without a license and developed pneumonia while behind bars. His family says he received no treatment, and died shortly after he was released to federal authorities and deported back to Mexico. You can read the full story here.
This photo essay was supported by the Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute.

I feel the Spirit King is the same as the Pillar in Cephiro of Magic Knight Rayearth and that his will is what keeps the world together and if he leaves the world would begin to crumble. He is essentially a prisoner of his own fate.
- What if the concept behind the H-cube is similar to the "crystal thing" the Spirit King resides in. Thus it serves a similar purpose making the Spirit Kings will reality.
- Still you have to wonder who are these "people" living in Kings realm maybe only the purest of souls are allowed in, those that have lived several life times and proven themselves unwavering.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Both teams came into last weeks region 12 football game with 1-0 region records but it was the Manti Templars that maintained their perfect region record with a hard fought 21-12 victory over the Emery Spartans.
The Spartans scored first in the ball game that was played in chilly, wet, windy conditions as they marched down the field 74 yards and scored on a Derek Tuttle quarterback sneak. This came on the third Spartan series of the game. Taylor Cox had the biggest run of the series with a 16-yard pickup around the left side. With the extra point kick hitting the upright and bouncing back onto the field, Emery led 6-0.
On defense, Emery kept Manti away from the end zone the entire first half with the exception of the final Manti drive of that first half. Manti was able to score on that drive on a 1-yard run to tie the score and with the extra point kick; Manti led 7-6 at the half.
In the second half, both teams had possession three times in what appeared to be an abbreviated half. Unfortunately for Emery, Manti scored on two of their three drives while Emery scored on one of theirs and had another end at the 1-foot line.
Emery received the kick-off of the second half and started at their own 35-yard line after the Templar kick went out of bounds. After Emery picked up a first down on a Tuttle to Procarione pass, Emery was forced to punt on fourth and nine. A bad snap on that punt attempt led to great field position for Manti as the Emery punter was tackled after a 6-yard run. Manti started at their own 48-yard line and scored on a 40-yard quarterback bootleg. With the extra point, Manti led 14-6.
Emery started the next series at their 10-yard line and proceeded to move down the field on a 14-play drive. Despite two penalties assessed against Emery, Emery was able to get to first a goal at the eight-yard line after a Cox reception of a Tuttle pass for 27 yards.
On first down, Cox picks up 5 yards. On second down, fullback Corey Hansen was tackled at the line of scrimmage for no gain. On third down, JT Noyes picks up 2 yards to bring up fourth and goal at the one. On fourth down, Cox takes the handoff and going to his left appears to have a touchdown before the wet field comes into play. As he nears the goal line, he slips on the wet grass and Emery is held scoreless after an 89-yard plus drive.
Emery thought they had Manti in a great spot at the one-yard line but Manti put together an 11-play drive for 99 yards and scored again to take a 21-6 lead. Manti was aided by two penalties assessed against Emery, one on a fourth and nine.
Emery started the next drive at their 20-yard line after the kickoff went into the end zone. After an incomplete pass, Cox picks up 21 yards followed by Procarione catching another pass for 8 yards. Cox picks up 7 more yards on a run to get a first down. After a Cox 1-yard run and an incomplete pass, Tuttle hits Kashe Potter for a 13-yard pick up. On the next play, Tuttle goes to Procarione in the right corner of the end zone for a touchdown. The try for two is incomplete and Manti leads 21-12. Manti then is able to run out the clock to pick up the win.
Emery picked up 135 yards in the first half while the Templars picked up 138 yards. Emery picked up 191 yards in the second half to Manti's 187 yards. That gave Emery 302 yards of offense to Manti's 301 yards. Emery had 173 yards rushing with Cox picking up 70 yards and Noyes picking up 66 yards to lead the team. Tuttle went 7 for 9 in the second half with those seven receptions going for 129 yards. Manti only completed one pass in the game and that came when the Emery defender slipped on the wet turf.
Emery will now play their last home game of the season this Friday night when the Juab Wasps come to town. This game will be senior night and will start at 7 pm. A pregame tailgate party will begin at 4:30 p.m. on the baseball field with free navajo tacos for the football players and studentbody.
