Apple extends extra iCloud storage for Mobile Me members
In a surprise move earlier on Friday, Apple's iCloud team has opted to extend the time period for a free allotment of 25GB of storage given to former members of Mobile Me. The bonus storage, which was set to expire on September 30 and for which the company had sent emails to users warning them of the change, will now continue until September 30, 2013. The move could be due to feedback from iCloud members that didn't feel they had sufficient time or warning of the change, though the extra storage came with clear caveats.

Most iCloud users aren't likely to be taking great advantage of the extra storage, which was given to former Mobile Me members because their previous iDisk contents had stored 20GB of content. Under iCloud, users only get 5GB of storage for free -- but many things users have automatically "stored" in their iCloud accounts, such as iTunes purchase backups and Photo Stream photos, don't count against the total. The 5GB provided is used by most members primarily for their iCloud email account and stored documents, which are mostly iWork files. Apple only recently took the Documents in the Cloud section of iCloud out of beta, so usage of the feature may still be limited.
The move will come as a relief to those who were using the extra space, however, such as members who backed up their iOS devices on iCloud or those who used the space to preserve their former iDisk contents. The extra space would normally cost $40 per year, and former Mobile Me members have been enjoying the perk since transitioning over to iCloud, which opened in October of last year. The former iTools and .Mac web service finally closed its doors for good on June 30, and at the time Apple said that the extra 20GB of space would end on September 30 unless members paid to continue it. Users who need extra space and weren't former Mobile Me members can also buy 15GB (20GB total) for $25 per year, 25GB (total) for $40 per year, or 55GB (total) space for $100 per year -- the latter being the former price of Mobile Me. A hint that the company was planning to retreat from the original September 30 suspension of the bonus space came when many members found instead that their storage level had been increased, extended to the year 2050, or both.

I just got this email and was wondering why they extended it. I had forgotten I had gotten an email a few months ago reminding me that on 9/30 that all that storage I was using over 5GB was a gift from being a MobileMe subscriber and I was going to have to decide if I wanted to pay for more then the 5GB. Hadn't decided what I was going to do and now I have a whole year to forget about it till its about to expire again. Maybe by then I'll want to pay for it. I'm one of those people that has been backing everything up to it lol and am using almost all of the allotted space.
I was a MobileMe Family Pack user from day one. My extension also came in an email but for the 55 GB option for free for another year. This is a welcome surprise, but I really wish I could mount that 55 GB storage as a Hardrive like Dropbox does now, and the iDisk did in the past. That was an incredible feature of MobileMe that I used all day long between work and home. Plus I really miss the iWeb setup for personal sites, that was the biggest hit I took on moving our entire family history Website over to additional Hosting service. I have found a way to use iWeb site builder with the DropBox system for free, but paid now for 100 Gb year. Still it can be done, just not the same feeling as it was a breeze with the MobileMe system.

I think they realized that 5 GB isn't enough.
I use iCloud backups, and I own an iPhone and an iPad. The iPhone alone would be okay, but for the iPad, I'd need to purchase extra space. That's a little weird. |
This is going to happen for the next 37 years.
I'm like Spheric Harlot...my iPhone backup alone exceeds the 5GB limit. So with the Sept 30 deadline coming, I had to change it to backing up to my Mac again, allowing me to maintain the iCloud features of Mail and Docs in Cloud as well as my iPad backup. Therefore, I certainly welcome having the extra year of 20GB space and being able to backup my iPhone to iCloud again. Thanks, Apple!
I find it amusing that Apple touts the fact that they "gave me" complimentary iCloud storage for the last year. I renewed my .mac account 4 days before they announced that it would be free ($130) and refused to give me a refund for the year that I paid for that was now "free".
Old customers are being tossed in favor of changing market. What is the storage for? Photo Gallery? No, WebPage? No, iDisk? No
Then what? New devices, new customers? New customers that in a year of two Apple will do with as they have done before... toss. Like VW of the 1960s customers are lining up to the street everyday looking for more of what ever the company is offering. Soon some other entrepreneur will notice the "Free Market" and like what happened to IBM those loyal new customers move on to become someone else's "New Loyal Customers". That is the essence of the free market, one company eats their competition's lunch. All I have left of Apple's services is an email address. Sooner or later another company, with the willingness to communicate with its customers, is going to make a safe, easy to use computer system. When that happens what is Apple selling that differentiates it from anyone else's products? Loyalty? No |
I too had 55 GB as a long time member an unexpectedly had that extended for a year. I'd decided that I didn't need it because, with no iDisk, what would you use it for? My hope is that some time in the next twelve months there's going to be something Dropbox like that would allow you to make use of that much space. As it is iCloud doesn't seem well adapted to managing huge numbers of files. It's more of a bridge between MacOS and iOS and a backup for iOS devices.
Exactly, I got a check from Apple for that years MobileMe subscription that I paid for before iCloud was announced. Maybe Infinitewill needs to call Apple to tell them his check got lost in the mail, I'm sure they will be happy to issue you any refund you deserve.
BTW, iCloud was only offered to those running 10.7, which I was not running at the time as Adobe products didn't support it and further your iCloud storage is also part of your iTunes match/iCloud storage as well correct? Any music that you ripped or that you upload to the iCloud (and isn't matched to tracks in the iTune Store) counts against your storage correct? |
Pretty awesome how I can't view my storage information through the iCloud website anymore...
I only had MobileMe because I worked at Apple. They extended my free subscription for a year, and I guess I'm getting another one. I don't even use it. iDisk, however, was very handy. I don't really get the point if all you can do is backup your iOS devices and use a crappy webmail client. |
Are you always such a pretentious a$$ or is this something new you are trying out? :)
Since you are such an expert in all things Apple try I will more clearly spell this one out: :) A) I had a .mac account before MobileMe came along. You do of course remember .mac right? I paid extra for additional iDisk storage. The amount of storage at this point is irrelevant because now I am not sure what the exact storage I paid for was. :) I also paid for both my son's and my wife's .mac email accounts as they didn't have iOS devices. :) Does this part sink in for you? You know since you are such a maven and all. :lol: B) I was running 10.6.x at the time mobileme and iCloud were announced. As an Adobe developer, CS5 still had issues with 10.7 with regards to many of their apps so I couldn't upgrade to it and so I had to pay for the service the was free Lion users. :) I again paid my renew and days later Apple announce that mobileme was going away so I would have to finally upgrade all of my machines to 10.7. I called Apple about the fact that I had just renewed. .mac/mobileme fees for my 3 accounts and now I was being moved to iCloud and Lion regardless. I requested a refund which Apple refused. I was willing to upgrade my machines to Lion but I was essentially paying $100+ a year for something I no longer needed nor had to pay for. Did that make it though your tin foil hat? ;) C) Fast forward a year or so (about yesterday or the day before) I get an email telling me that Apple is extending my "free" iCloud service with extra storage (although because of a lack of refund I ended up paying for mine). I thought the irony of their offer was amusing :lol: as they were now extending it for free; again. You do know what Irony is right. Kind of like having to waste my time explaining to a walking encyclopedia such as you who has all the answers. :) D) My true mistake however, was mixing responses to two different post in a single reply of my own. For that confusion I would like to publicly apologize. :\ It seems that I have not only I wasted my time trying to explain myself, but yours as well, now that you will find the need fashion a biting and condescending retort to every word I post. The iTunes match reference was in regard to the post about why anyone even need extra storage. :thumbsup: Hard as it may may be to believe, it had nothing to do with you. No, in fact this thread doesn't hang on every post or reply you make. :) Hope that clears things up :) Now go :censor: yourself! :thumbsup: P.S. I can only hope that despite my gratuitous (that means many to the point of excess, just in case you don't understand the really "big" words) use of emoticons, the thinly veiled sarcasm with which this was penned comes through to you, since you can't seem to decipher any of my previous posts. |
Infinitewill, you've obviously become irritated to the point of making unprovoked derogatory & personal accusations; however, I'll not respond in kind to such rude, childish behavior. (Emoticons...really?!?!)
Regardless, I do not know how you can renew a service that was no longer available after 2008 (.mac). I know because I've had iTools, .mac, MobileMe and now iCloud. So to insinuate that you renewed your .mac account/storage just prior to iCloud's release is baseless...quit trying to state that incorrect point. So I have to assume that you mean you renewed MobileMe (which you probably transitioned to from .mac but is still MobileMe). Fine, let's not worry about the details of whether you renewed 5GB (you can't) or 20GB (you did and is more than iCloud's free offering), although you felt compelled to make it a point and now not. As such, MobileMe didn't "go away"; so your full year could have been used and was, according to you. Apple only announced that iCloud was now replacing MobileMe...it didn't mean MobileMe would no longer work. Apple made this clear to everyone who had MobileMe, including me. You had a full year to continue to use MobileMe's iDisk for which you paid. I've received numerous emails a month or so ago from Apple stating that iDisk was about to close for good (as well as iWork beta, iWeb, etc.). Since you had reasons to not upgrade to OS 10.7, you thus could not use iCloud. But that was your choice: get Lion and a refund to have 5GB of free storage, or keep iDisk and 20GB for a year...you chose the latter. Still with all that said, you can still get 25GB of storage...another year of your MobileMe 20GB plus the complimentary iCloud 5GB...if you upgrade to Lion/Mtn Lion. So once again...you're complaining about a product you bought to use but did not get a refund because you were unwilling to meet the requirements to replace it. Considering everyone else's ability to get a refund (in fact, Apple offered me one on my MobileMe renewal), I find your story hard to accept. And considering the composition of your last post, I think it's reasonable for me to have that opinion. I DO know what irony is...an example would be when someone who tries to convince others of being right by saying things that are wrong. So consider yourself ironic, Infinitewill. |
All other MobileMe members were offered refunds. Maybe your failure to get a refund was because you called Apple and gave them conflicting information like you did in this forum. |

Stage wins see Paddon wrap up Rally Spain on positive note
Kiwi rally stars Hayden Paddon and John Kennard have wrapped up the final event of their 2012 FIA Super 2000 World Rally Championship season at great pace, winning five of the final day's six stages.
Contesting the 9 to 11 November running of RACC Rally de Espana with the support of Red Bull Energy Drink, Paddon said: "Sunday's final six tarmac stages were a little shorter but still challenging, made even more difficult by the constant threat of rain. The rain never really eventuated to much, but it did make tyre choices difficult.
"We were able to set some more good stage times today, particularly on the longer stage where we took a lot of time out of the rest of the S2000 field. We were hoping to do the same on the repeated run in the afternoon, but unfortunately a puncture stopped us from doing so."
Despite Friday's disappointment of getting stuck in thick mud – in the same place that trapped WRC Mini driver Dani Sordo – which stymied Paddon's chances of taking a podium position, the 25-year-old New Zealander did win the SWRC category in 11 of the 13 stages that he completed. The majority of the stage wins were on tarmac which Paddon still regards as his least-favoured surface. The stage times set by Paddon and Kennard in their Skoda Fabia S2000 rally car regularly ranked them in the top 12 or 15 overall among the WRC cars and ahead of benchmark competitors Volkswagen factory drivers Sébastien Ogier and Andreas Milkenson in similar Skoda S2000 cars.
"We recovered to 20th overall by the end of Sunday. While the result was not the best, we have been happy with our speed, especially considering it has been what I would describe as a 'risk-free' speed," says Paddon.
"So that's the end of the 2012 World Rally Championship and, in all honesty, it is a season that I am happy to see the back of after a series of set-backs throughout the year. However, I have learnt a lot and we have been able to set some good stage times on all rallies that we have competed in.
"I'd like to
add my huge appreciation to our supporters group that
travelled here to Spain to be with us. It has been a real
boost having their support and seeing the New Zealand flag
waving on the stages. Thanks also our team Baumschlager
Rallye & Racing (BRR), our shareholders and everyone who has
supported John and me in our SWRC campaign this year."
Paddon and the team at Hayden Paddon RallySport Global now continue to work hard on plans for 2013.
"In terms of our plans for next year, it is still a work-in-progress. I hope that our speed this weekend has helped, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done."
Paddon returns to New Zealand later this month.
Paddon's 2012 season has been supported by Red Bull Energy Drink, PlaceMakers, Giltrap Group, Skoda, Z Energy, ENZED, ATEED, GO Rentals, Cameron Sea and Airfreight, Granger Design, Raiseys, New Balance, Pope Print, Racetech, Chicane Racewear, Endless Brake Pads, 1 Group web design, Brita Safety, Rally Tours, MAK-Corp, EPS International, Saddle Hill Quarries, Monit Rally Computers, Bluebridge Ferries, Stadium Finance, and Ewing Engineering Contractors.

Sir Alex Ferguson admits he is bracing himself for a season of playing catch-up as his Manchester United side attempt to overcome the handicap of a stuttering start and close the early eight-point gap opened up by leaders Liverpool.
Wednesday night's victory over West Ham United was the Old Trafford club's fourth win in their last five games and was marked by the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to something approaching his best form, prompting Ferguson to claim he could yet repeat his 42-goal haul of last season.
Yet despite the marked improvement from the opening weeks of the campaign when his side won one of their opening four league games, Ferguson acknowledges that the reigning champions are unlikely to return to the head of the table any time soon. And with United set to fall another game behind when they compete in the World Club Championships in Japan in December, the manager is resigned to spending the majority of the campaign in the chasing pack. "That's no problem," he said. "Absolutely no problem. I think we've got the squad and the ability to get back among the teams in front of us.
"There will be certain obstacles in our way this season, notably the two games we have to make up. But we have a lot of experience. We've added Dimitar Berbatov to the squad, which should give us even more opportunities to make sure we're able to change and stay fresh. And I feel that continuity and consistency of performance will be very important. If we can get to January and we're still in touch, particularly with these games we have to make up, then we have a great chance."
Ferguson, meanwhile, will hand keeper Ben Foster his second senior start for the club in next week's Champions League qualifier with Celtic. "Ben being back fit is a big bonus because he is an outstanding goalkeeper. I may play him at Celtic Park next week."

Aug 1, 2016good game. I am new to the Tribes franchise and enjoyed the challenge of skiing and trying to aim. I really enjoyed the beta and I'm excited that it's finally out!
Jun 22, 2016
Apr 13, 2016great game, and not a bit pay to win, like most free games where ripping a, go and try this awesome game good gameplay, have skill and more and looks okay
Aug 1, 2014
Jun 8, 2014Tribes Ascend is an excellent FPS. The emphasis on mobility makes it faster paced and makes it stand out among other online FPS games. The maps are well designed for this and the graphics are beautiful. Considering it's free to play you'd be doing yourself a disservice to not at least try Tribes Ascend.
Apr 7, 2014Well... I'm going to say that this game is great... if you have a powerful engine to run it on.
The game runs on Unreal Engine, so it will be a pain in the ass to handle if your computer is a slow as **** computer, but with the right one, it is going to be a blast.
I...I...I...I'm going to go play Tribes:Ascend some more. I'll just leave it at here. -

Nov 15, 2013Fun fast paced game! Great graphics and addictive gameplay! It's great if you're looking for a free but phenomenal game! Totally recommended. I will definitely be playing this game more!
Jul 19, 2013BEST Shooter ever.
A revolutionary game mechanic. It makes so damn much fun. And: I't IS skill based and NOT Pay to Win. But it's really sad that Hi-Rez abadons Tribes: Ascend. They just said, the community shall do the rest and look for the game. :-/
And the community is not big. -
Jul 13, 2013Really hard and frustrating at first, even previous FPS experience doesn't help much. Once you get the gist of it though, it becomes the best shooter ever.
Apr 18, 2013
Apr 3, 2013I was a big fan of the original franchise and played it a lot. This version is super hardcore, but extremely well done. Hi-Rez deserves a lot of credit in this remake.
Mar 2, 2013
Jan 8, 2013This is the coolest game in the world. Everything you do boils down to skill and skill alone, and even if you suck at the game, you can still have tons of fun. The game is incredibly well designed, even to the tiny things. All in all, if you don't like this game, you should go back to playing Halo 3 or whatever it is your get spoonfed for breakfast.
Dec 19, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Nov 7, 2012As an old fan of the original Tribes and all of the sequels, I was anticipating good things from this game. I am not disappointed. They captured the feel of the original game play and the mechanics and controls are extremely responsive. Could they improve the game? Sure, but I have no idea how. Sometimes a classic is good enough. Anyone for a blue plate special?

Oct 24, 2012Having played Tribes Ascend for 50+ hours now, i can honestly say that this game is, second to Unreal Tournament Classic, THE best FPS Multiplayer ever concieved.. and its f2p.. but boy how i do not care giving the Hi-Rez Studios all of my money. If you have some time, and wish to learn a truly skillful teamplayer FPS, try it!

Oct 3, 2012gran juego online me gusto mucho entretenido y lo mejor de todo free, si bien la mecánica de shooter es bastante clásica pero con una variación de armas mas que considerable. graficamente es muy bien logrado, entornos ricos y bien detallados, los sonidos esta bastante bien.. en resumen un juego recomendado para aquellos que quieran pasar un rato jugando online grafis..
Sep 18, 2012Hi-Rez has succeeded with an amazing game that is faithful to the original tribes franchise. Graphically, things are average. Gameplay, and overall user emjoyment is where the game thrives. Hitscan was phased out during the later beta period, and now this is one of the few shooter games that has no hacks available. Pure skill game with E-sports affiliation.
Sep 14, 2012This game is to the closest to the original I've played. It really is a polished game. It's was polished when I started playing in Beta. If you like FPS and flying this game is awesome. It's certainly on a level with TF2.

Aug 12, 2012Pure multiplayer goodness. Fast gameplay, beautiful graphics, great controls. Only problem I got was taht some stuff are expensive as hell but you don't really need them, it's all about the skill.

Aug 3, 2012
Aug 2, 2012Great free to play game. It's NOT too much a "pay to win" game, and that's the main pro i've found. The game is original (different to normal FPS), very funny and skill based: at level 1 i killed many high level guys only with the default weapons. Of course unlocking new stuff is a bit long without paying anything, but it could be done.
Jul 31, 2012This is a great game that anyone who likes FPS should give a try. Yes it is a free to play but if you like it I recommend spending $20 and unlock a few classes all the way. While I do not think this a pay to win it is nice to have all the guns of your favorite classes. They do a good job updating and balancing the guns, nothing seems like the must have or only use gun which is great.
Jul 28, 2012This game is tightly designed around speed and fun and I couldn't have dreamed of a better version of the game (actually thought it might suck like the previous version but it's actually super awesome). Wait, why am I wasting time writing this review? Gotta go fast!Fantastic game, free to play but not pay to win
Jul 28, 2012
Jul 27, 2012Like Team Fortress 2, great free-to-play with item system and not all items being unlocked at once unlike old games. Hi-Rez Studios has found out how to correctly balance Tribes: Ascend and avoiding pay-to-win "gameplay." Tribes: Ascend is amazing.
Jul 27, 2012One of the greatest FPS's to ever hit game scene. I have thousand of hours played in this and probably never gonna stop, got everything already unlocked and my most favorite gear Is soldier with spinfusor, pistol and short fuse grenade. Stuff you can get pretty much for free or is part of starter pack, so no there can't even be talk of Pay2Win. My 4:1 KDR says so.
Jul 19, 2012One of the best shooters i' ve played in the last years. Very fast with great weapons and ah fair balance between the classes. And you earn enough XP during the game to get your favourite weapons instead of buying them.
Jul 11, 2012
Jul 10, 2012
Jul 9, 2012This is how FPS's should be like. Tribes is pure run and gun, even more exciting then Unreal Tournament. You don't get cover, you don't get realism, but you get fun. Tons of it.
Jul 7, 2012Tribes ascend is a great way to kill time in short or long bursts. It's just plain fun. The skiing mechanic works well particularly with this fast-paced shooter setting. Graphics are fine, the shop doesn't seem to get in the way of gameplay, and it's free. Give it a try!

Jul 4, 2012Decent game and it's worth supporting the company with a few dollars if you enjoy the game itself. If you like the original tribes or any decent shooter game this game is for you(it's free to play so its stupid not to try out). Quite polished and well made maps. About ~100 hours so far spent playing since the beta days and will play some more for sure.
Jul 4, 2012I'm a long time FPS fan. I played Tribes 1 a long time ago. Finally a game that feels as exciting as the it used to be. I don't mind the expansion system because its F2P and you don't HAVE to buy upgrades, you can earn them as well. Loving it!!
Jul 3, 2012
Jul 3, 2012Refreshing game, non stop action, literally non stop. I can't cant how many times I've lifted my hand off the mouse for no more then 2-3 seconds and got killed. This game is easily a 10 because it is so damn fun, though I wish they would add more vehicles now that some maps are getting bigger.

Jun 30, 2012The game that actually takes alot of skills to kill someone ya 360 no scope bastards. I would buy this game even if it was paid. In case it's free-to-play i'm gonna buy some in-game stuff to reward developers. Though there is no pay-to-win formula - everything can be unlocked free.

Jun 28, 2012This Free-to-play FPS is one of the best games I have ever played. even in comparison to full price games. It matches all those full-priced games in terms of game play, graphics and best of all it's not pay to win. All weapons can be purchased with in-game XP

May 31, 2012the game is really the best starting around end game. You can really tell the developers paid ATTENTION to the old community of tribes players from 1 + 2.
The grind is kind of annoying at first, but once you start playing TDM and getting decent scores, you end up with so much exp it's not funny -
May 29, 2012Best multiplayer FPS in years gameplay wise. More balanced than prevous tribes with a lot less focus on vehicles. But also lacks some of it's features which does let it down a bit and the maps are a lot smaller as well. Also no 3rd party modding was what kept the old tribes alive, it doesn't have that either.

May 24, 2012Very good multiplayer shooter. Imo it has not enough maps right now and matchmaking is not very smart, but anyway it is #2 in list of my favourite deathmatch games, right after Dystopia and before Warsow.
May 22, 2012
May 22, 2012There is not a lot of variation in regards to guns, but the gameplay is so fun I hardly even care. Its one of the fastest paced FPSs out today and hardly anyone even dies because you are going so fast (which is not a bad thing). I love the skiing because it is a very nice break from standard FPS. High speed chases and exploding projectiles make this game extremely fun to play.

May 19, 2012Wonderfully fun and free game. Just skiing is fun in it self. The only negative thing I can say is that after playing all of the classes the juggernaut seems far and away op. I may just not know how to play the others though.
May 17, 2012A very creative and multifaceted take on the FPS. I recommend it to anyone who has grown tired of the genre. It is free after all, so you don't have much to lose...

May 7, 2012This is online FPS like it used to be, tactical, fast, fun, pure unadulterated enjoyment. Sure, you can complain that you don't have the best weapons, or instead you can just have a shedload of fun and cope with the fact you're probably not going to be number 1 on the leaderboard. SPINFUSER GO!

May 4, 2012Undoubtly the best f2p shooter on pc! Fast speed, highly competitive. You should have a try if u are a fps fans.
Although some weapons and abilities require tons of exp or bucks if u want, but IMO, pay about twenty bucks for such a awesome game is ok for me. GOGOGO! -
May 4, 2012great game they are one of the few that managed to nail the free to play model u can easy buy the weapon perks and armor u want just by playing the game and its fast paced like the first tribes and higly compeditive great game :D
May 3, 2012
May 2, 2012been playing since alpha and really enjoy the game. improvements seem to come at a steady and often pace. my only real complaint is that the alternate costumes cost too much.
Apr 30, 2012
Apr 29, 2012It is true that the game is simpler than Tribes 2 and lacks lots of elements which made tribes series (besides Vengeance) so good. But it is still exciting and fresh. You don't have to spend a cent/penny/grosz because it's free.
Apr 29, 2012
Apr 28, 2012Fantastic game, the Tribes 2 style and community being resurrected, hell yeah ! Not only is it A Tribes game done right, it is free to play !
But honestly, the $50 package is by far the best and you won't regret it.
Also please gives some kudos on Twitter to Chris Rickwood (@chrisrickwood).
He is the genius composer behind that awesome music.
Really, that game has everything right, TRY IT !! -
Apr 26, 2012Very fun game for free. Simple as that. Yes they release op new content that unbalances the game. The new raider gun is nuts op. But it's still a very fun game for free. You can choose to buy stuff, or you can unlock it with xp. It will take a very long time with xp, but you can do it. The most expensive weapons are 100k xp. You get probably an average of 500xp per match if you performed decently.
Apr 23, 2012Really fun, easy to get into. However I think its fair to say if you are not use to these types of games its going to be extremely difficult at first. A few minor problems not even worth mentioning about the game.
Apr 23, 2012An awesome take-back to the glory days of Starseige Tribes, Hi-Rez did the series justice which it hasnt seen since the very first Tribes game. SHAZBOT!
Apr 23, 2012Fast and balanced gameplay. I picked up the game really fast and enjoyed it. Maps are huge and the gameplay is fun. If you want similar to lets say unreal tournament games but more flying this is the game.
Apr 23, 2012AWSOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! You must play this game it is so fun. Really fast passed shooter if you don't like fast pace games then don't play this game. I dont want you comments if you have anything bad to say about it because also its still in beta.

Apr 21, 2012Tribes: Ascend is the next Quake. There. I said it. Extraordinarily unique, yet refreshingly classic...Tribes: Ascend takes so many pages out of so many classic shooters, it is impossible for any FPS fan to not like it. Coupled with the Freemium business model...Tribes: Ascend's appeal and replayability is sure to last far after Ascend 2 is announced and released.

PC Master (Greece)Aug 31, 2012Contrary to the classic gameplay of an FPS that requires constant cover, slow advances, crouching and prone positioning, the battles of Ascend happen on the ground, as well as in the air and in tremendous speeds- thus changing drastically the classic tactical approaches of the genre. It's a breath of fresh air in the online FPS world. [September 2012]
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Aug 10, 2012Arcade online shooter surprises with fresh and fast paced playability and is a very good alternative to paid services with its free-to-play model. [Issue#220]

Yesterday, RealClearPolitics linked to an excellent piece by Peter Berkowitz called Obama and the Rhetoric of Progressivism. It's a bit lengthy and at times scholarly, but the connections that Berkowitz explores between President Obama's current travails and the history of the progressives uneasy relationship with truly giving power to the people makes it almost mandatory reading. This 'graph is a good summary:
In the annals of American progressivism, Obama's predicament is hardly unique. Indeed, the mismatch between leaders who put forward partisan ambitions in the name of the people and majority sentiment reflects an enduring paradox with deep roots in the progressive tradition. Like Obama's new progressivism, the old or original progressivism championed a vision of democracy that sometimes conflicted with ordinary people's opinions and preferences. The old progressives often realized it and said as much, clearly and with a clear conscience. One of the distinguishing marks of the new progressivism at whose head Obama stands is the determination to conceal the gap between what majorities want and what progressive leaders want to enact in their name while insisting proudly on the purity of their democratic credentials.

I did not receive your reply until a day later, meanwhile, I ordered the wrong part (order # 944682). I ordered the correct part, I hope (order # 946845). I will return the wrong part upon receipt. I will refuse shipment per your instructions via telecon yesterday. Ordering the wrong part was my fault, but I thought you were not going to reply. I now know to wait for an email from you before I order. Thanks for your help.

NEW YORK — Without a TV show to do every night, Conan O'Brien is taking his act on the road.
The former host of 'Tonight Show' announced a 30-city theater tour on Thursday. Sidekick Andy Richter and the former 'Tonight Show' band will join O'Brien for what he promises to be "a night of music, comedy, hugging and the occasional awkward silence."
The "Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour" begins April 12 in Eugene, Ore., and concludes June 14 in Atlanta.
O'Brien is set to appear at Phoenix's Dodge Theatre April 30.
The tour will visit theaters in at least 20 states and two Canadian provinces. Additional dates may be added.
O'Brien quipped: "It was either a massive 30-city tour or start helping out around the house."
On the itinerary is New York's Radio City Music Hall, just steps from where O'Brien first gained fame hosting 'Late Night,' and the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, Calif., near the studio where he presided over "The Tonight Show" for eight months.
The tour also will make a stop at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, the annual festival that takes place June 10-13 in Tennessee. Aside from performing in the comedy tent, O'Brien will emcee the festival's largest music stage on June 11 and 12, the festival said.
O'Brien quit 'The Tonight Show' in January instead of taking NBC's offer to move his start time back by a half-hour to make room for 'Tonight Show' veteran Jay Leno's return to late night from a failed prime-time show. He hasn't announced any future television plans.
Leno now is back in his old 'Tonight' slot, which he had bequeathed to O'Brien last June.

I could find only very minimal signs of firing/wear on the frame/slide rails, but the magazine does have some bluing worn off, mainly at the top, so this indicates to me that the pistol has likely been fired some after it left the factory, though my guess is that there has not been a very high number of rounds through the gun; some of the bluing may have been worn off simply due to repetitive insertion/ejection of the magazine without the gun having been fired every time the mag was inserted. Has cocking indicator safety feature in the rear/center of the slide. Has a brown, checkered (with curved grooving on upper part of grip) synthetic, one-piece, very comfortable wraparound grip, in superb condition, with an excellent grip angle. Sights: serrated fixed blade front sight; rear square-notched sight, mounted in dovetail slot (so can be adjusted for windage). The large-headed barrel retaining screw, in front of the trigger guard, enables fast and convenient swapping of barrels, e.g., to 4" or 7". Has cross-bolt/push-button safety (with red inset to indicate it is in firing mode) at rear of frame. The bluing finish and metal condition (with high polish on slide sides and barrel) appear, overall, as near-new, i.e., 97-98% estimated; the frame is in matte finish, as is the top of the slide (for anti-glare when sighting). However, on the right side of the slide there are several minuscule, extremely-shallow/narrow, barely-visible, sharpish indentations, but the bluing itself has not been blemished around them and no white metal shows through the indentations -- they do not appear to be roundish, concave pits, as is typical if rusting has occurred. I've had the gun for over 20 years and have not fired it. The serial number is 1305955. I looked at an online historical chart of Dura-Matic serial numbers/years of manufacture, which indicated that this model was made from 1955 to 1970; unfortunately, I don't know the year of manufacture, though further research by a prospective buyer might possibly indicate the year of manufacture. High Standard .22 pistols have, for decades, had a reputation for superb accuracy. Reason for "No Return" policy is that pistol is honestly and exactly as described in the ad and as shown in the photos. Thanks for visiting my ad. Gun will need to be transferred via my FFL dealer to your FFL dealer.

Egypt's military-backed prime minister said today his country will not halt its crackdown on foreign-funded nonprofit groups despite what he called threats by Western and Arab countries to cut off aid, further deepening a bitter dispute that has strained ties with the United States.
Kamal el-Ganzouri also compared the current international pressure and the sharp decline in economic and social conditions in Egypt to the country's disastrous defeat to Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, and for the first time accused Arab countries of not making good on pledges of aid to Egypt.
Egypt's campaign against pro-democracy and rights groups began late last year with raid by security forces on the organizations' offices. On Sunday, Egyptian investigative judges referred 16 Americans and 27 others to trial on accusations they illegally used foreign funds to foment unrest in the country.
That immediately drew a sharp rebuke from Washington, with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton warning that failure to resolve the dispute may lead to the loss of some $1.5 billion in aid to Egypt. Some US legislators even said every aspect of the relationship with Egypt must be examined following the crackdown.
With the standoff deepening, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, is to travel to Egypt this week for talks with military ruler Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi. Dempsey's spokesman, Col. Dave Lapan, said Wednesday the trip has long been planned, but that the nonprofit spat will come up if it hasn't been resolved. He said Dempsey would talk with Egypt's leaders about "choices and consequences," but declined to elaborate.
Despite the warnings from Washington, el-Ganzouri struck a defiant tone Wednesday, telling reporters he was "saddened" by the pressure Egypt was facing but insisting authorities "can't back down or won't change course because of some aid."
"Egypt used its legal right to face some violations by civil groups," he said. "The lofty judiciary moved and discussed and investigated the case. ... The West then turned against us because Egypt exercised its rights."
El-Ganzouri also charged that aid pledged by Arab states has also stalled since the dispute began. He said he met in early December with Arab ambassadors "who promised that Egypt will receive a lot of money," but two months later "none of these promises have come through."
He hinted that the US and Arab allies are withholding aid money because Egypt has adopted more independent policies since the uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak in February.
Egypt's net international reserves were down 50 percent year-on-year by the end of December as the country's economy is reeling from the overall effect of the uprising and the turmoil that followed. The government is discussing with the International Monetary Fund a $3.2 billion loan.
In an attempt to rally public support, el-Ganzouri appealed to nationalist sentiment and urged Egyptians to unite in the of face tough times ahead. He argued that the current conditions in Egypt are worse than after the country's crushing military defeat in 1967 when Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank, the Golan Heights, the Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem.
"What we are seeing now is worse than after the 1967 defeat, which was a military one," he said. "What is happening is a call to defeat the whole people, not only a military defeat. If we unite, we will get through this."
El-Ganzouri also warned that Egypt was the backbone of the Middle East, a region in flux at the moment, and that "if it (Egypt) falls, the whole region will follow."
"Neither the West, nor the Arab brothers are aware of this," he said.
El-Ganzouri's comments appeared to be aimed at silencing critics. Local civil groups say the campaign on foreign-funded nonprofit groups is in preparation for a harsh crackdown on local rights groups who have been documenting and lobbying against the military rulers since they took office last year.
London-based Amnesty International called on Egyptian authorities is using "repressive" Mubarak-era laws that have been criticized by UN bodies for years.
The military rulers charge that the foreign groups fund and support anti-government protests. The military claims that "foreign hands" are behind the opposition to their rule. They frequently depict the protesters as receiving funds from abroad in a plot to destabilize the country.
On Wednesday, Egyptian judges said the evidence collected in the case against 16 Americans referred to court for their alleged involvement in banned political activity through nonprofit groups include maps, cash and videos taken of churches and military facilities. Among the Americans referred to court is the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
Ashraf el-Ashmawi, one of the judges investigating the case, said authorities are investigating other groups.
In reference to the already named groups, he said: "Their activities have nothing to do with human rights."

Nuclear reactor licensing in USA – an uncertain future
An Uncertain Phase for Nuclear Power Licenses NYT By MATTHEW L. WALD , August 9, 2012, In a rare action, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has acceded to a petition filed by anti-nuclear groups that it halt some licensing activities until the agency can sort out its troubled policy on nuclear waste….
.. The crux of the waste issue is that for years, the commission has licensed reactors on the assumption that the federal government would eventually establish a disposal system for spent fuel. An official policy known as the "waste confidence decision" stated, in typical commission lingo, that there was "reasonable assurance" that a burial place would eventually be available and that the fuel could in the meantime be stored in spent fuel pools or on site in dry casks without significant environmental risks.
But in June the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that in reaching this conclusion, the commission did not comply with the National Environmental Policy Act, a law that mandates that environmental impact studies be issued before such a finding is reached.
The commission is now pondering whether it can fix the problem by issuing a broad generic statement about the safety of storage in pools and dry casks or whether it will have to do a reactor-by-reactor review.
Geologic storage is off the table for the time being, with the Obama administration having told the Energy Department to kill the Yucca Mountain project on a volcanic ridge in the Nevada desert.
Pending a reassessment of the nuclear waste issue, the commission's five members voted 5-0 on Wednesday to suspend final issuance of license renewals and new operating licenses.But as with many disputes in the nuclear industry, it's complicated. The reactors, it turns out, do not need a license renewal to keep running.
The commission has a "timely renewal doctrine," not unlike what some other federal agencies practice, that allows the status quo to remain while the agency deliberates. "If you are already in the queue, when you cross the end of your license and renewal is under consideration, you can continue operating,'' said Eliot Brenner, a spokesman. The plant's operator, Entergy, had to apply for a renewal five years before the license was due to expire, and did so in 2007…. http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/09/an-uncertain-phase-for-nuclear-power-licenses/
Utilities applying for licenses for other plants will have to wait, although no groundbreakings were likely in the near future anyway. Two twin-unit plants in the South, Vogtle 3 and 4 in Georgia and Summer 2 and 3 in South Carolina, already have combined construction and operating licenses. A spokesman for the commission said that the moratorium order was silent on those licenses, so those reactors could proceed. Vogtle 3 and Summer 2 are both scheduled to begin commercial operation in 2016.
Utilities applying for licenses for other plants will have to wait, although no groundbreakings were likely in the near future anyway. Many plants have applied for permission to raise their power output, and some of those approvals may also be delayed.

The luncheon
Our feral bobtail cat stops by every other day for a snack. The menu doesn't change much—sardines or Friskies. However, yesterday he spent all Sunday with us, napping on the roof of one of the small buildings, then some time watching me watch him. In the afternoon he had a quick snack, another cat nap and by evening he was gone again to cat around in the hood.

Conditional confined oscillatory dynamics of Escherichia coli strain K12-MG1655 in chemostat systems
Ofiteru, Irina Dana and Ferdes, Mariana and Knapp, Charles W. and Graham, David W. and Lavric, Vasile (2012) Conditional confined oscillatory dynamics of Escherichia coli strain K12-MG1655 in chemostat systems. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 84 (1). pp. 185-192. ISSN 0175-7598
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
A series of continuous- and sequencing-batch reactor experiments were performed to assess the growth dynamics of Escherichia coli strain K12-MG1655 in chemostat systems. Previous mathematical predictions and early experimental results had shown that confined oscillatory dynamics ensue in bioreactor populations, which relates to "group birth and death" events within the population. New results are reported here that generally verify the predictions of the model and show that confined oscillations occur under different initial conditions, but the characteristics of the oscillatory dynamics vary as a function of the hydraulic retention time (HRT). Bioreactors were operated at HRTs ranging from 2.7 to 35 h and, regardless of initial conditions or the imposition of transient operational instabilities, highly patterned oscillations developed when HRT was between ∼3 and 8 h. However, outside of this range, bioreactor populations tended to form biofilms on the reactor walls (although the majority of the cells remained suspended in the bulk solution) and stable oscillations were not seen in the bulk phase. This suggests that alternate operating "states" might exist in chemostat populations with biofilm formation and non-homogenous spatial growth influencing "system" dynamics at very low and high HRTs. Although the model accurately predicts a confined dynamic equilibrium for mid-range HRT operations, experimental data show that model predictions do not extend outside of this range, when an alternate stable-state seems to be attained.

FAQs about: Floodways
FAQs about: Floodways
What is the floodway?
The floodway is the channel, bayou, or other watercourse and adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than the height specified for the site in the flood insurance study.
Who determines the floodway?
Engineers working for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are charged with determination of the regulatory floodway in accordance with FEMA guidelines.
Will the Floodway ever be reduced?
The ultimate goal of floodplain management in New Braunfels will be to have all floodways limited to the bayou right-of-way. To accomplish this in some watersheds will require the future construction of major channel improvements or reduction in flows from regional stormwater detention facilities.
Can I build on my vacant land in the floodway?
Per Chapter 58 of the City Code of Ordinances, new construction on vacant land in the floodway will be permitted if the performance standards for the construction are met.
Can I repair or rebuild my home in the floodway?
Yes, permits for repairs or reconstruction for buildings in the floodway will be issued if the performance standards are met. Repairs over 50% of the market value will trigger substantial improvement requirements.
Can I request a variance in the floodway?
Variances may be issued by a community for new construction and substantial improvements and for other development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent use provided that:
The criteria outlined in Sec. 58-29.4. (1) – (9) are met, and
The structure or other development is protected by methods that minimize flood damages during the base flood and create no additional threats to public safety.

Brittany's Blog: What's Your TV 'Comfort Food'?
Friday, May 25, 2012
This is my viewpoint, from the far end of the couch...reminiscing about old favorites and other things I miss in the world of TV.
When I was writing
this article
about ABC's
The Unusuals
, I only intended to watch an episode or two, but I ended up going through the entire series. That show has just always made me feel like I'm spending time with old friends. It's TV "comfort food," if you will, the kind of series that doesn't have to be your favorite, but somehow always makes you feel right with the world.
That made me wonder: how many other shows have given me that warm, fuzzy feeling? And what shows make
feel the same way?
One of the reasons
Sports Night
is my all-time favorite TV series is because it felt like coming back home every time I watched it. My friends and I used to talk about how Anthony's seemed like a real bar and the characters were so real that we felt like we could go in there and run into any of them (or, by extension, Clark Gregg as enigmatic super-rich guy Calvin Traeger). I got through more than a few rough days by watching an episode or two of
Sports Night
Another one I find myself watching a lot is
Human Target
. This is purely a personal choice: I was a fan of the character of Christopher Chance when he was in the pages of DC Comics, have been a fan of Mark Valley since
Keen Eddie
, and to see those two things meet was a dream come true for my inner fangirl. The show wasn't the same in its second season, but the first was pretty fantastic, and always a good time. Now, I'll be hoping that Valley gets back on TV, and on a show that can use his multiple talents (sorry,
Harry's Law
, but he was a bit wasted there).
My last pick is an old one, but a good one: I dare anyone to get through an episode of
Police Squad!
without laughing hysterically. And if you're too young to remember
Police Squad!
, get to
watching the DVDs
Law & Order: SVU
There were some people who predicted doom for
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
this season. I wasn't one of them. While I absolutely respect everything Christopher Meloni brought to the show for a very long time, I've seen series go through cast changes and survive, even improve. (
, I'm looking at you.)
hired on one of my favorite TV cops, Danny Pino from the really underrated
Cold Case
, it got me to check back into the show after a several year absence, and I'm glad that I did. There were some legitimately great episodes this season, like "Father's Shadow," which featured a truly unnerving appearance by
star Cameron Monaghan. I was treated to guest spots by a
Law & Order
great, Linus Roache (reprising his role from the original series as EADA Michael Cutter) and Andre Braugher.
And to address the elephant in the room: while Pino is not Meloni, he shouldn't have to be. He did good work for a long time on
Cold Case
, and he did the same thing this season. Now that he's settled into the skin of Nick Amaro, I want to see how Nick will evolve and how the new cast dynamic will continue to grow next season. Congrats,
, on staying strong.
Now, could we get ITV to renew
Law & Order: UK
so that I can watch more of that awesome show?
The Great Singing Competition Carousel
Having just spent some time working on
American Idol
, being a loyal supporter of
The Voice
, and also having worked on
The Sing-Off
previously, I've come to one conclusion: comparing every singing show to every other singing show doesn't really work, at least for me, anyway.
Yes, they're all about music, but they all have things about them that are distinct and different. For example, we obviously can't compare
X Factor
, because
is about performing with the celebrity judges. In that same vein,
The Sing-Off
was about
a cappella
groups. Those two shows are/were tackling different formats than the traditional singing competition (although, admittedly, having seen last night's
premiere, I'm not really sold on that yet), so I don't want to compare them to something like
It's easier to compare
X Factor
, perhaps, since they come from the same pedigree and are on the same network. I'm not that familiar with
X Factor
, so this is a comparison I'll respectfully avoid.
The big battle seems to be
, and while I love my show, I'm not even sure that's a valid comparison.
Jessica Sanchez said at
that "every interaction we get [with the judges] is on stage," where as on
The Voice
, the coaches are hands-on with their talent.
is also about amateur singers; Voice skewers toward people who have established themselves and are looking for that next step in their careers.
Is one singing show better than any other? All I know is that I have my favorite for various reasons, and I'm sticking by that show. I have friends that are
fans, though, and I'm not about to disown them over it.
Here's the question that bugs me: does anyone else think that FOX's new dating show
The Choice
is an amusing copycat of
The Voice
, except without the singing and plus one person from
Jersey Shore

MUSC Vascular Surgery Integrated Residency Program
The intent of the integrated 5 year vascular residency program at the Medical University of South Carolina is to produce well-rounded trainees in all aspects of vascular surgery, leading to the development of thoughtful, ethical, and highly competent independent practitioners of the specialty. Our major goals are to provide incremental and progressive, multidisciplinary training in vascular surgery, general surgery, and relevant surgical/interventional radiology/medicine and sub-specialties during a 5-year training program to include both core surgery (CS) and vascular surgery (VS). The vascular surgery faculty have designed a program that will provide increasing responsibility under direct attending supervision, in the outpatient clinics, inpatient settings, the interventional suite, and the operating room.
- Service Rotations
- Hospitals, Institutions, and Faculty
- Training in management of vascular diseases
- Other Educational Activities
Core surgery rotations
- PGY-1 and PGY-2 years will focus on learning history and physical examination skills, diagnostic testing, patient assessment and patient management skills in both an outpatient and inpatient clinical setting and will include general surgery, oncologic surgery, pediatric surgery, orthopedics, and trauma to develop basic surgical assessment, technical, and management skills.
- Midlevel experience/training during PGY-2 and PGY-3 years will focus on management of critically ill patients and development of fundamental operative skills especially in the abdomen, including laparoscopic skills. Rotations will include SICU and CTICU rotations, solid organ transplant surgery, trauma, and cardiothoracic and general surgery rotations at a more advanced level commensurate with their developing skill sets.
- Core surgical training will occur primarily on general surgery services that are focused on abdominal, trauma and critical care, and includes laparoscopic, pediatric, and oncologic-endocrine surgery in a distribution which is optimal for vascular surgeons who will not perform elective general surgery, but care for vascular surgery patients who can develop conditions that require a general surgical procedure and application of intensive critical care.
- Training in the management of the surgical ICU patients is provided in both in a medical-surgical ICU and a Cardiac/Vascular ICU with additional critical care experience obtained during all in-patient vascular surgery rotations. CT surgery will allow exposure to sternotomy, thoracotomy and aortic arch surgery, as well as coronary bypass. Senior resident experience in both general and vascular surgery will occur during the PGY-4 year, including rotations on the Interventional Radiology service.
- During the PGY-1 thru PGY-2 years, the vascular surgery residents will have a total of 12 months vascular surgery training, including rotations on Interventional Radiology, and during PGY-3-4 year, a minimum of 6 months of vascular surgery training each year, including 4 months at Roper /St Francis.
- Chief resident experience will provide a 12-month chief resident experience in vascular surgery during the PGY-5 year.
- A total of 36 months will be spent on vascular surgery rotations, and 24 months on core general surgery or surgical/medical subspecialty rotations.
- The schedule has been designed to appropriately interact with current general surgery, intensive care unit, cardiothoracic surgery, trauma, and transplant surgery rotations at the appropriate training levels to optimize resident education and experience. It specifically provides for a total of 6-months experience as the senior resident on general/trauma surgery, transplant, or cardiothoracic surgery rotations. The PGY-5 year is exclusively a "chief resident" experience in dedicated vascular/endovascular rotations.
Hospitals, Institutions, and Faculty
- General and vascular surgery in-patient training will be obtained at tertiary-referral medical centers. These will include Medical University Hospital, its Heart and Vascular Center at Ashley River Tower (University Hospital), the Robert H. Johnson Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Veterans Administration teaching hospital) and Roper St Francis Health care system (a community based hospital). All these institutions are within walking distance of each other.
- Full-time faculty at the Medical University have extensive experience in training surgical residents and have received recognition and numerous awards for teaching. Inclusion of Roper /St Francis rotations under the supervision of 4 board-certified community based vascular surgeons who also have clinical appointments within the Department of Surgery at MUSC will allow a broad case mix to include endo-management of venous problems. These clinical faculty also have long experience with - and an interest in - surgical education. All vascular surgery training will occur on dedicated vascular surgery services at these institutions. The chief year will be dedicated to only vascular surgery and interventional experience involving all the faculty at each of these institutions.

- Exposure to the evaluation and management of vascular disorders during each year of training assures repetitive contact with faculty, continual acquisition of skills/experience, and progressive assumption of vascular responsibility prior to the Chief Resident year. During each vascular surgery rotation, residents will spend a minimum of 1 day per week in an outpatient clinic, under direct faculty supervision. During the PGY 2-4 vascular surgery rotations, essential training in noninvasive vascular testing and vascular imaging will be provided. As the integrated residency program is implemented, the vascular surgery services at MUSC and RH Johnson VA Medical Center will consist of two (2) separate rotations, each staffed by 2 or 3 vascular surgery faculty, as indicated in the resident rotation schedule block diagram. Under this training paradigm, 3 general or vascular surgery residents will be assigned to each team: including a PGY-1 or -2 vascular or general surgery resident, PGY-3 or -4 vascular or general surgery resident), and 1 chief resident (PGY-5) vascular surgery resident.
- This level of resident staffing is optimal for education and developing appropriate, independent responsibility for the vascular in-patient management, acquiring operative/endovascular skills, and compliance with the weekly resident work hour restrictions. For call purposes, residents will provide cross-coverage of the two services at MUH and the VA; the schedule will be implemented to ensure vascular surgery resident will work with all vascular surgery faculty and fall within the work hour guidelines mandated by ACGME. Of note, these same MUSC vascular surgery faculty also provide vascular services and supervision at the VAMC. The rotation at Roper /St Francis will integrate both in-patient care, outpatient clinic evaluations, and rotating on call with the board certified vascular surgeons in the community setting, also commensurate with the requirements of the current ACGME guidelines.
Training in management of vascular diseases
- Vascular Surgery experience is organized in a step-wise and logical fashion. While PGY-1 rotations focus on the development of history-taking, physical examination and diagnostic skills, training in diagnostic catheter-based imaging and endovascular intervention begins the first year for each vascular resident during 2-month or 4 month rotations at the PGY- 1, 2 and 3 level - for a total of 12 months experience in either the MUH or ART Vascular Center interventional angiography suites or hybrid operating room suite where both outpatient and in-patient endovascular procedures are staffed by vascular surgery and vascular interventional radiology faculty.
- There are block rotations with Interventional Radiology and the Vascular Laboratory to set firm foundations in imaging and non-invasive diagnosis that will be built upon as the residents progress through the program. PGY- 1's and 2's will focus on learning vascular anatomy and blood vessel exposures. Progressive resident responsibility will be provided beginning during the PGY-1 year with residents participating in diagnostic arteriography/venography studies, central venous access placement, and dialysis access procedures. PGY-2 residents will perform common peripheral arterial and venous interventions procedures. Basic percutaneous arterial and venous access, non-selective and "up and over" catheterization, diagnostic arteriography and venography, pseudoaneurysm injection, etc. will be taught to a level of competence. PGY-3 and 4 residents perform more complex endovascular interventions, and will develop competence in IVC filter placement, venous interventions and thrombolysis, AV-access interventions, iliac angioplasty and stenting, and SFA interventions. The PGY-5 chief resident receives training in the most complex endovascular procedures, selective catheterization, embolization, and more complex techniques that will be sequentially introduced, leading to training in arch vessel catheterization, EVAR, TEVAR, visceral, renal, and tibial interventions including carotid/vertebral stent-angioplasty, and thoracic or branched endografting. Open procedural skills will be obtained in the same manner, building upon core surgical training, blood vessel exposures, AV-access procedures, amputations and wound debridements, progressing to femoropopliteal, upper extremity, and carotid procedures, followed by aortic, major intra-abdominal, vertebral and tibial and pedal reconstructions. The rotation schedule is designed so that residents of appropriate training level and experience will be situated on services that will provide them with sufficient exposure to case and patient volume appropriate to their level of training.
- Training in noninvasive vascular laboratory testing and interpretation is part of the educational objective of this integrated program, since some peripheral interventions are conducted using duplex ultrasound guidance. At the conclusion of their training, each resident will have documented proficiency and >100 caseload experience in each testing area (peripheral arterial, peripheral venous, cerebrovascular duplex, and visceral vascular) to qualify for both ARDMS - Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT) and Registered Physician Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) certifying examinations.
- Importantly, rotations have been scheduled each year at levels that provide the optimal concomitant experience on each of the non-VS services but will not interfere with the case volume exposure of general surgery trainees. At no time will a chief resident in vascular surgery and a chief resident in general surgery be on the same service. The case volume will remain adequate to train general surgery residents in core principles and techniques of vascular surgery while still providing an expansive and well-rounded exposure for the vascular resident.
- Residents are expected to participate in regularly scheduled conferences including morbidity and mortality, Vascular case conference, and basic science covering a core curriculum in fundamental problems relevant to surgical care.
- Presentations are given by members of the surgical staff, faculty from other clinical and basic science departments, and senior surgical house officers. In addition, case conferences include discussion about evaluation and decision making with current patients.
- Online and computer training as well as opportunities for simulation training will be included. Surgical grand rounds are held weekly and include presentations from all aspects of general surgery including vascular, trauma and critical care, endocrine, trauma and gastrointestinal surgery, as well as other surgical subspecialties.
- In each hospital, clinics are held weekly for follow-up of patients cared for on the vascular surgical services under the direct supervision of faculty. Attendance at clinics is expected of all surgical residents.
- Each resident takes the ABSITE and VSITE in-service examination annually appropriate to training level.

Origami: Microsoft's 'OrPod' Alternative to the iPod?
Microsoft has registered a Web site for something called "The Origami Project." From the rather cryptic video clip there, you can't tell much about what Origami is or what it will do. Guesses about Origami's origins have been all over the map.
But what we're hearing now is that Origami might be little more than a new code name for an ultra-portable device that Microsoft demonstrated last year at its Windows Hardware Engineering Conference.

(Since Microsoft is continually changing code names to keep company watchers guessing, such a move would not be unprecedented.)
The original "Haiku" device was described as an ultra-portable mini-Tablet when the first prototypes made their public debut.
The systems, as described Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, would weigh about a pound, feature a battery that could hold a charge for a full day, and integrate a camera, a phone and a music device in a single form factor.
Microsoft is promising we'll hear more about Origami on March 2. The timing isn't coincidental, our sources say. Apple is slated to unveil new "fun" products on Feb. 28 in Cupertino.
Among the rumored introductions: A new iPod Boombox audio system.
Microsoft has made no bones about its iPod envy, nor about its lack of satisfaction with the kinds of Portable Media Center devices its partners have been producing.
And no one from Redmond has denied reports that Microsoft has plans to get into the business of building its own family of iPod killers.

What a dummy
His wife is cheating on him and I don't care if it's with another woman. If she can do it with a woman she can do it with a man. But back to the original. She's cheating. She's exposing you to STD's and other charming things. Throw her out and get a divorce. She has demonstrated by her actions that she has neither love nor respect for you. Why would you possibly stay with her?
