It's the biggest game of the year for Xbox One fans, but it's going to take up a chunk of your hard drive space to play it.
Update October 9 2015: We spoke to Kevin Franklin - lead designer at 343 Industries - about Halo 5's massive install size and the absence of splitscreen multiplayer.
Original story as follows:
If you haven't seen it already, we've been tracking and updating a complete list of all install sizes for the Xbox One with the goal of providing a handy resource for those trying to make the most of the Xbox One's primitive 500GB hard drive. Today we got word of the Install Size of easily the year's most anticipated game on the console, 343 Industries' Halo 5: Guardians.
At a base amount – before any patches or DLC downloads you may acquire – the game will take up 46.19GB of data. Given that the 500GB hard drive actually only offers you 362GB for free use – the rest sequestered for console operation and UI – that means Halo 5: Guardians will take up 13% of your available space on the core system.
It sees the game scrape into the Top 10 biggest install sizes on Xbox One, sneaking it at eighth place. Here is that list for your interest;
Top 10 biggest installs on Xbox One
- Halo: The Master Chief Collection - 11-Nov-14 - 62.740

Block Story
As I indicated in a previous article, I've been playing "Minecraft" for quite some time. It didn't take long for games with variations on the theme to emerge and it wouldn't be right to call them clones, especially if they offer unique gameplay mechanics that the original game doesn't. "Block Story" combines both block building and RPG elements to make something pretty unique, though the question remains, does it hold up on its own? Before I answer that question, I'd like to thank Paul Pacheco for sending me a free copy to review. It's important to note that this particular version is a single player experience only, though a separate MMO version is in the works for those of you who enjoy multiplayer.
Editor's Note: From time to time, I may reference "Minecraft" in order to compare the two games. When I do, I'm referring to the "vanilla" or unmodded version of "Minecraft" as a standalone product. The same goes for "Block Story." Also, this review was written 12/27/12…keep that in the back of your mind while reading it. The game has been updated significantly since then. My video series is more up to date, so go check that out after you're done here.
When you first open the game, a small window will pop up that allows you to change screen resolution, adjust keybinds, and toggle windowed mode. Once you are in the game, you'll be able to start a new game, continue an existing one, and adjust game options. The game options screen covers graphics and sound options, as well as language and load distances. Starting a new game lets you name a world, designate a seed if desired, and choose between story and exploration modes. New players will be glad to know that a tutorial is available to help them get started.
The environment took some getting used to, but I don't mean that in a negative way. The colors were amazing and very different from what I normally see in "Minecraft." Exploring caverns and the outside world turned out to be a lot of fun. I particularly like the ability to carry a torch, which in turn lights the way for you as you explore the darker areas. The way the various minerals lit up the environment at night made me stop in my tracks to enjoy the scenery. There's also the infinite up and down mechanic, which again, took me for a loop. I generally mine horizontally two or three levels up from the bedrock layer in "Minecraft" to find those rare minerals, but I didn't have a point of reference or guide in "Block Story". I wasn't sure where to look for those hard to find minerals.
One of the things that drew me to this game was the ability to craft different kinds of weapons and armor. Yes, I'm well aware that you can craft weapons in "Minecraft", but it's worth mentioning that you'll have access to guns, staves, and knives in addition to swords and bows. Shields are available to block enemy attacks, something that "Minecraft" doesn't currently offer. You'll also be able to craft rings, which provide various bonuses to your character. These bonuses can range from health and mana regeneration to swim and fly speed. In addition to weapons and armor, you'll be able to craft vehicles. At present, you'll only be able to make boats and cars, but the devs promise that more is coming. My favorite feature has to be the recipe book, which acts as an in-game wiki. I seriously can't thank the devs enough for including this feature, as I was constantly having to switch back and forth between two windows in "Minecraft."
While there may not be any creepers in "Block Story", there are plenty of other bad guys that can serve to ruin your day. The game boasts an impressive collection of eighty-seven mob types, including sharks, spiders, goblins, skeletons, yetis, hydras, snakes, dragons, eagles, bobcats, grizzlies, chickens, cows, sheep, and more. I like the variety of different mobs available, and I like not having to install mods to access them. What's more, the textures on them are incredible. For a "block" game, the models are extremely pretty and detailed.
Quests…yes, there are quests. Let me come right out and say that I appreciate the addition of quests, mainly because they give me a sense of purpose and direction. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I prefer to wander off and do my own thing, but having the option to do quests keeps me engaged when I get bored with exploring. At the time of writing, there are a total of twenty-five quests and they usually involve teaching the user how to collect or craft certain items. There are some side missions, so to speak, that involve collecting materials in order to buy various items from vendors. I personally like having the option to buy materials and supplies by trading various items.
Leveling is another mechanic I personally enjoy tinkering with, mainly because I like seeing the fruits of my labor. As you interact with the environment, you'll gain experience. Gain enough and you'll level up, which allows you to assign skill points to your character's attributes. You'll be able to throw points into things like arrow damage, underwater breath, player health, loot distance, magic damage, fly speed, and more. At first I was upset over how close I had to be to an object to pick it up, but then I realized that it was by design, as part of this skill tree. Wonderfully done!
Overall, I found "Block Story" to be a joy to play, not to mention a highly polished product. One of the complaints I had with "Minecraft" is that it didn't include any sort of in-depth RPG element. "Block Story" helped to bridge this gap and provide hours of entertainment in both the realm of building and character progression. One should also consider the price difference between the two games. "Minecraft" is priced at $26.95 (as of 12/27/12) whereas "Block Story" is currently being sold for $9.99. While I enjoy playing "Minecraft", "Block Story" is certainly a cheaper and viable alternative and in my opinion, worth the purchase. The more I play "Block Story", the more differences I find when comparing it to "Minecraft", so fans of the latter would do well not to dismiss the former so quickly. If "Block Story" can continue to have regular dev support (fixing bugs, etc.) and updates, it could turn into something fantastic.
Final Verdict: 9/10
Editor's Note Regarding "Minecraft" vs "Block Story" Comments:
I want to make it clear that I'm not here to debate whether or not "Block Story" should exist simply because "Minecraft" already does. "Block Story" is being sold as a product and deserves to be treated as a separate entity. No amount of complaining (short of copyright issues) will stop developers in general from making games that they've poured countless hours into. The sooner "haters" learn to keep an open mind, the happier all involved will be. If you don't believe me, write a letter to J.J. Abrams and tell him to stop making Star Trek movies…let me know how that works out for you. Either play the game and support it, or don't. Constructive criticism should be made (and accepted) with a professional tone. It's that simple. Any comments made now or in the future that aren't appropriate will be deleted.

Health care control makes her sick
I receive health care insurance under an employer-based plan and I am grateful for the coverage it provides. I have an existing medical condition that has been in remission for 15 years. Although I am no longer receiving medical care for the condition, my insurance rates are astronomical as an individual and the only affordable option for me is an employer-based plan.
I believe that health care reform is essential and that providing all Americans with health care coverage is important.
However, I am concerned that government control of the entire health insurance industry may unfavorably impact individuals with preexisting medical conditions.
I look forward to reading more educational articles and analyses of this important topic since the information reported thus far appears to be primarily from the perspectives of interest groups involved in the debate.
Holly McCathren, 37205
Submit letters to firstname.lastname@example.com
Holly it is ignorance like this will cause you to to hurt yourself as far as your own health care is concerned . You people are going to have to stop listening to the righties preach gloom and doom while laughing all the way to the bank .
Sadly, anyone over 40 has a "pre-existing medical condition".
One of the benefits of universal care would be that situations such as this will not happen, neither will astronomical premiums.
btw, once again an article, the May Town one, is not available to NCP readers.
Holly is lucky she has employer-based insurance, which could disappear at any time, particularly in this economy. Folks like her usually have a change of heart when their own fortunes change. This "let them eat cake" attitude is one reason so many Americans die each year because they don't have coverage, and one reason why healthcare costs are eating up more and more of government budgets at all levels. The current system is simply not sustainable.
Good morning, Nashville!
Holly's LTE is well-written, timely, brief and to the point.
I don't know if her fears are well-founded or the natural reaction to GOP fear-mongering. What happens when folks like Holly lose their jobs?
It seems to me that linking health insurance with employment is a flawed concept to begin with, as only a fraction of any given population is employed at any given time.
Burdening US employers with the duty of providing expensive, private, health-care benefits to workers and their families puts us at a competitive disadvantage. In most other developed nations, govenrment, not industry, provides health-care coverage to its citizens. Their system is working, ours is failing.
Government healthcare is rationed care. Do some research what happens in Canada and the UK.
It is not the fantasy in your mind.
Remember TnCare and where it was headed. (to consume the entire State budget)
Bureaucrats will make decisions for you not doctors. If they can run it so well why is Medicaid (and SS) going bankrupt and the boomers didn't even hit the system yet?
How are they going to pay for it and how are the hospitals going to survive with government reimburstment rates. Next they will go bankrupt and the government will "have" to take them over too.
Take two asprins and call in a month or so.
Government health care is giving up your freedom and 1/6 of the national economy to people like Barney Frank, Maxine Waters and Chris Dodd the same ones that sunk Fannie and Freddie. That work out well didn't it?
Yeah, do some research, only try Japan, Germany and Thailand.
They have the best system in the world and it works.
Everyone gets taken care of and no one can bankrupt them for
any medical problems.
Almost 50% of forclosures in this country are caused by medical bills.
Oh, and by the way, my Mom was in the UK once and needed to go
to the hospital. When she got out, she asked for the bill and they
told her there wasn't one.
Wake up and smell the coffee. They've been lying to us so long
with so many people falling for it, that now they depend on the fact
that too many people in this country can be led like sheep into
believeing whatever lie suits their purpose.
Wake up !
Good morning.
I used to have medical coverage through my wifes insurance. During that time I had two heart attackes that were paid for by her insurance. That all went away when she died and I have not been able to get any insureance because of my preexisting medical condition.
Two years ago I had another heart attack and have been paying ever since. I still manage to have a good quility of live. Tight budgeting has enabled me to take vacations and help my chidren and grandchildren. My youngest daughter collage education was taken care of years ago, so that is not a worry.
Things are looking good for me at this time, but another medical crisis could cost me everyting.
Be leery of anyone starting their discourse as " you people..." You know it's coming. The facts are universal health coverage provided by government will bankrupt this nation sure as rain falls. The numbers of uninsured are wacky to start with...quoting anywhere from 37 to 47 million uninsured, including 9-11 million illegals, 4 million or more who could pay but do not in favor of that big screen TV or some other folly. Who is going to pay for this enhanced coverage????? I haven't heard anyone say who will ultimately pay for the coverage. Two facts: we ALL need and use insurance, we all get sick and we all die. Instead of moaning about lack of coverage, seeking more federal bailout, Mr. Obama why not step down on lawyers who load the courts with lawsuits against physicians, a lot of which is frivolous! Insurance for health professionals because of lawsuits is space bound! I do not want this government rationing my healthcare to me when I have adequate coverage that I buy now! And I sure as hell do not want to buy yours!

It seems to me that linking health insurance with employment is a flawed concept to begin with, as only a fraction of any given population is employed at any given time.
Good point Loner. I do not have health insurance where I work now. More and more employers are hireing people as part time workers and working them as full time workers. No benefit this way.
I am always leery of people that make statements like "9-11 million illegals, 4 million or more who could pay but do not in favor of that big screen TV or some other folly."
For those of you who are preaching that this will not happen, I refer you to the following information. Do with it as you will.
Straight from the newspapers
"Good point Loner. I do not have health insurance where I work now. More and more employers are hireing people as part time workers and working them as full time workers. No benefit this way."
Sounds like you need to find a better job, if they are going to work you like a full time employee but not treat you like one.
BTW, are you not eligible for Medicaid? Or maybe TNCare? I don't know your circumstances but have you looked into these as well?
Now this is funny!
AFL-CIO Hard Hats
Obama's kidding here, right? I mean if you own a competing business AND can generate the rules which all competing businesses as well as yours have to follow, then giving your business an edge over the competition is simple...and desirable if you're looking to get the corner on the market and increase your profits and power.
If nothing that is IMMINENTLY logical. What would be ILLOGICAL would be to assume the federal government, once in competition with private enterprise would not want to corner the market. If there is one thing government likes to do, it's expand it's perimeters.
Obama Says It's 'Not Logical' to Fear Government-Run Health Care
FTA: "At a White House press conference on Tuesday, Obama said: "Why would it drive private insurance out of business? If private insurers say that the marketplace provides the best quality health care; if they tell us that they're offering a good deal, then why is it that the government, which they say can't run anything, suddenly is going to drive them out of business? That's not logical.""
Why does Obama believe the government can run a health insurance company better than the private sector? Let's see how well they run a car company first.
Bless your little heart, Neme. I'm sorry to hear you've been through all that. I can relate, Buddy!
Let's hear what Obama has to say about healthcare in the Town Hall meeting tonight.
While I have no problem listening to what Obama has to say, I find it a bit disconcerting that no opposite voices, other than regular folk, can actually ask opposing questions.
Still, we'll see what he has to say.
before anyone makes a decision here about any degree of government sponsored health care, lets all do a little homework. talk to people who have tn care or medicaid in other states. talk to people who receive all their care from the u.s. dept of veterans affairs(the v.a.), i.e., the federal government. go sit in the nashville v.a. hospital lobby and/or business office and speak to a few of the workers at their desks. view the level of service you recieve at the post office. talk to europeans or canadians who have had to come to america to receive medical/surgical tests/treatment. research this on www. call bcbs and ask what a monthly premium costs for private care for someone 20, 30, 40 yrs old and surprise yourself. in short, get some data and suspend commenting on issues for which you have done no research and have no facts. certainly there are some citizens who could use some assistance in getting insurance coverage but do we really need the gov. to control the whole ball of wax in order to accomplish this. do your homework. dg
Don't feel sorry for me MamaG. After dieing twice and coming close a third time, I'm not so afraid of life as the right-wing-fringe nutzoids are.
I am learning to see and live life as it comes. I have been learning how to that all my life. I can see that even the bad things that took place in my pass somehow turn out for the better later.
With the exception of losing my wife or other through death. My life has been good. I am at a point now, that I can have fun with the things life deals with me.
So please don't feel sorry for me. At the moment I am haveing fun, mostly.
If I am at home to night and stay awake long enough to watch. I will see what Obama has to say.
I have talked with some citizens of Canada, Germany, and England. The generic stuff there is ok...it's the specialists when life threatening care is needed that are the biggest problem. Seems there's a shortage of specialist - mainly due to the costs of BECOMING a specialist and only being paid almost the equivalent of what a general practitioner makes...no percentage in bettering one's self if there's no reward for doing so.
In this state, at least, TNCare started as a serious Charlie Foxtrot...and then got worse. At one point almost 50% of the state's budget went to TNCare and had 1 in every 4 Tennesseans on it and it had no provisions for using generic pharmaceutical.
As for the VA, they are continuously underfunded and many times, the doctors have to fake one minor operation to sneak in a major life saving one. Supplies are always having to be scrounged and doctors are seriously overworked.
This is what I've been able to obtain over the years.
id said:
"Bureaucrats will make decisions for you not doctors. "
They already do. A while back I had a pinched nerve in my foot. Ouch!
The doctor said a $400 set of custom orthotic inserts would fix the problem.
Aetna, my employer insurance, declined to approve it. But they would approve of surgery to excise the nerve.
$400 for an insert or $4000+ for surgery AND I would be out of work for at least a month.
Despite appeals and letters from my doctor, they insisted that I have the expensive surgery. Instead I bought the orthotics out of pocket. The doctor let me make 4 payments.
Result: NO pain, no problem, no expensive surgery.
Plus, we already have rationing. Senator Lame-ar and Dorker have a cadillac sized ration, millions have a zero ration.
Specialist ?
Just the word is misleading.
Being a "general pratitioner" is a "specialist" position.
Linking increased income to money alone is one of the serious flaws
in our system. Japan pays a flat rate to doctors and pays for patients
NOT getting sick.
If someone's in it to get rich, they should not be encouraged to become a doctor.
Most of them have lost their humanity over this as it is.

Still, we'll see what he has to say.
Chief--Isn't that what we want: regular folks asking the questions? i want to know what people like me have to say to him and ask him about it.
GP's only delegate what specialists you need, nothing more.
Neme, I didn't mean to make you think I FEEL sorry for you, just sharing my empathy for all you've been through. I can relate in many ways. Sounds like you have the right attitude about life though!!! Many people spend an entire lifetime and never learn about life: what's important and what's not. Prime example is my son's father. I don't believe he will ever grow up or change his lifestyle but now, his children are almost grown and he has terrible (read: no) relationships with both of them. It's so sad for all of them but he's the only one who can change himself. I tried to "fix" him for years and finally realized it wasn't my fault or up to me to fix anyone. (MY lesson learned.) Now we've been apart for over 2 years and I've learned how to get back to being happy and having a good life--not taking my loved ones and my life in general, for granted. Makes for lots of smiles and laughter!!!
That's the gripe by the right, mama. They want equal time to say what we already know they are going to say...(in best Phil Hartman's Frankenstein impression) "healthcare reform bad"...
I probably won't watch Obama. I'd rather watch old episodes of Star Trek...do you think the Federation ran health care?
"Chief--Isn't that what we want: regular folks asking the questions? i want to know what people like me have to say to him and ask him about it."
Of course, but wouldn't you like to hear the opposition speak as well? The average citizen may or may not know what questions need to be asked, depending on the knowledge of the audience in attendence.
I just don't see how it wouldn hurt to have both sides presented by their advocates.
"They want equal time to say what we already know they are going to say...(in best Phil Hartman's Frankenstein impression) "healthcare reform bad"..."
As opposed to Obama's "healthcare reform good"...?
"I'd rather watch old episodes of Star Trek...do you think the Federation ran health care?"
No because everything was free in Star Trek...as long as you were a productive member of society.
Wrong again Chief, he'll make his pitch tonight. It will be a little more than that. But we all know that the GOP's position is similar to the Democrats during Bush...their position is that they oppose the President. Yawn...
So healthcare was provided for free to everyone...sounds to me like a state (Federation) ran thing.
gdiafante, absolutely.. put 'Bones'' in charge.
Oh, by the way, North Korea just threatened to wipe the U.S. off the map. We are so loved...just makes me all warm and fuzzy...
"Linking increased income to money alone is one of the serious flaws in our system. Japan pays a flat rate to doctors and pays for patients NOT getting sick. If someone's in it to get rich, they should not be encouraged to become a doctor."
Look Panda, people better themselves to get ahead. That is a natural human trait. If you've worked hard to get the skills, you expect to get paid for them, simple as that.
If you really think that being paid a flat rate works, then why not do the same for EVERY profession? Just let the government determine what is fair compensation for everyone who work in a particular profession.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs)" Karl Marx 1875.
Damn it slacker, I'm a doctor not a politician!!!
"Oh, by the way, North Korea just threatened to wipe the U.S. off the map. We are so loved...just makes me all warm and fuzzy..."
Yeah, I'm all terrified by a country which is probably as big as one of our states. Granted they could HURT us...but we really COULD wipe them off the map.
Still, not a good idea to encourage this as we could lose some significant property and a lot of people.
MammaG, I knew what you were saying. I just did not want some on this board to think...what they will think you intended.
My ex kept my two oldest from me for twenty years. I did not take her to court over it, because I came from a broken home. My parents did everything they could to turn me and my brothers against the other.
My first marriage was ended bitterly and I did not want my children to go through what I did. That was a mistake that I regretted all of thoes years.
Today, I now have a good relation with them and my grandchildren. They don't with their mother.
You're a doctor? I have this pain I'd like to tell you about...!
lol gdiafante
Hemorrhoids...try some Preparation H...and don't call me in the morning.
Time for Obama to send our secret weapon, Madeleine Albright, over to calm the rotund, ''Great Leader'' down.
Slacker, have you seen the new Star Trek movie? The guy playing Bones was spot on. It was eerie...
Damn it Jim.. I'll do what I can, but he might not make it.
"Wrong again Chief, he'll make his pitch tonight. It will be a little more than that. But we all know that the GOP's position is similar to the Democrats during Bush...their position is that they oppose the President. Yawn..."
Yawn for sure...as Obama's already been making his pitch...he's just going to try to make it in a "town meeting", which worked fairly well for the Clintons. Of course given the last question he got from Huffington Post, I'm now not so sure it'll just be all a setup.
"So healthcare was provided for free to everyone...sounds to me like a state (Federation) ran thing."
Probably. One does wonder what they used to gamble with in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Maybe they DID have money and medical expenses were deducted from their accounts.
Then again, as they were in a military unit of some sort, perhaps their medical benefits were paid for by the Federation.
Not yet gdiafante, looking forward to it, I understand its very good.
"Hemorrhoids...try some Preparation H...and don't call me in the morning."
Right location, wrong prescription.
It is very good. It takes a leap of faith in certain things...especially if you have a more than casual knowledge of the original series.
Here's a question... what is the value add of insurance companies? What positive contributions are made by these business entities that suck as much as 20% of all dollars out of the health care system. Especially when you consider that Medicare operates at a 3% overhead. We could improve Medicare by 200% and still only lose half of what we lose to the insurance industries.
Chief, who's the doctor? Now, you owe me a copay of $50...

West Ham youngster set for Ricoh Arena bow
Bristol City are likely to have a new signing in their back four for Saturday's visit to the Ricoh Arena to face a Coventry City side keen to build on their 1-1 draw with Leicester last weekend.
With former Sky Blues man Louis Carey just one defensive casualty, Robins boss Keith Millen has snapped up West Ham United's highly-rated Jordan Spence, 20, as cover at the back.
'I don't think anywhere's easy to go but I'm prepared for it and will give it a go,' Spence told BBC Radio Bristol.
'I was hoping somebody would come in for me so I've been ready and preparing myself physically and mentally for the opportunity.
'I'm here to play and do well for Bristol City first and foremost, and then the experience and where that takes me will be a positive thing as well.
'I operate at right-back or centre-half. I'd like to say I'm a composed defender, I've obviously been brought up playing football at West Ham, and one of my key attributes is that I'm quite quick, I'm decent across the grass and I look to get forward when the time's right.'
For the home side, manager Aidy Boothroyd will have to reshuffle as Martin Cranie, who has been performing an effective role as a midfielder in recent weeks, serves a one-match ban.
Boothroyd told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire: 'Cranie's been superb for us. He's a Rolls Royce and has been playing out of position.
'We're disappointed we've lost him for the next game but it is only one game.'

In responding to a post I read earlier today, I left a comment that I thought was a good stand-alone for a blog post.
If you listened to WFAN this morning, they spent a great deal of time ripping into Adam Rubin if in fact he inquired about a job with the Mets. I also read a couple of articles this morning advocating that Adam Rubin's actions were inappropriate and a definite conflict of interest.
Here is my rebuttal.
While I appreciate reading a different side to this latest Mets drama, I believe the basis for redirecting blame, or simply faulting Adam Rubin for crossing the proverbial line, is somewhat slanted and flawed.
Lets forget for a moment, whether what Adam Rubin reported was true or not (I absolutely believe that it was true).
A handful of people are implying that there was a breach of objectivity, some impropriety, obvious misconduct, and a conflict of interest where Adam Rubin was concerned. While most are giving little credence to this notion, some are saying that it really is a big deal that shouldn't be ignored.
I disagree.
In another industry and in another time, that might be true, but welcome to the information age.
The Mets cannot point fingers at journalists who inquire about career choices. The Mets are the majority owners of SNY and one of their top rated shows is Daily News Live, where Adam Rubin is a semi regular guest, as is a dozen other Daily News journalists.
That's an important fact because the Mets created a gray area where they elected to say, the heck with conflicts of interest, we need to fill our programming schedule, and then hired all these journalists, and pay all these journalists to appear on their network to objectively critique the Mets as they normally would do.
The Mets did this all in the name of advertising revenue and the almighty dollar.
Everyone knows where the newspaper business is going these days as many have already fallen by the wayside.
In this new age we live in, the idea of clarity and objectivity, between sports writers and the teams they cover, have been so blurred, especially in the case of the Mets who did most of the blurring.
Ask Jeff and Omar if they knew of any other journalist who asked for career advice and you'll hear a dozen other familiar names. They wanted you to think that what Adam did was unheard of and worthy of pointing out, but that was just more distortion and another smokescreen.
How do you think Anthony DiComo and Marty Noble got their gigs on Mets.com? (no offense guys, just a blogger trying to make a point)
Was it objective of them to take money from the team they cover on a daily basis?
I won't even mention other SNY regulars like David Lennon, Jon Heyman, Bob Klapisch and so many others who appear on SNY on a daily basis.
This is a new world and the rules have been dramatically changed, although not for the better. There's nothing wrong with a beat writer saying, "So, how does somebody get a job in this place?" In fact it's more common than you think.
I think it was reprehensible of the Mets to cast some of the negative spotlight away from them and onto Adam Rubin. Their ulterior motive was so blatantly obvious is was almost laughable if it weren't such a despicable act.
How dare they act in such a manner and attempt to assassinate the character and integrity of Adam Rubin, for simply doing his job and reported about the deplorable acts of a Mets Vice President. His investigative reporting led to the removal of what one source called "a cancer in the Mets organization", and for that he should be applauded not condemned.
It was the Mets who created this situation, so I find it appalling when they cast aspersions on journalists from the front door, while requesting resumes from them through the back door.

Ollie and Sophi visit Switzerland!
UPDATE: I have been officially accepted to Maker Faire Bay Area! I will be exhibiting the Texting Trapper, which is the cell phone signal detection circuit I've been blogging about. SOOOO excited!
The posts will return to all things geek early April.
I'm traveling in Switzerland with my husband and partner Ollie. We're visiting his family for about 10 days.
We arrive on Friday in Zurich : first, shopping in the Airport mall for birthday presents, wine and such. We rent a car from Budget and get ripped off for GPS ($30 USD/day!) which is a crappy TomTom with old maps.
UPDATE: I've just learned that the reason my phone's GPS does not work is because it's a Google Maps GPS. Google Maps works by storing the map in the Cloud, while TomTom works by storing the map locally. If there is no Cloud access due to a mismatch in phone communication technologies, you can download an app to turn the phone into a local GPS.
Immediately after leaving the airport we make a quick stop, a Sales meeting for one of my day jobs at a laser company. After this, we drive around for awhile looking for a hotel…Switzerland is very expensive! We settle on a cheaper one, next door to IKEA. We find out later that all the relatives are laughing at us because we chose a hotel famous for having a secret underground parking lot for men and their hookers.
Breakfast Saturday morning at the IKEA hotel is typical for Switzerland. Bread, an assortment of cheeses, an assortment of meats, muesli, yogurt, coffee. Very nice.
Saturday is our Grosi's (Grandmother) 90th birthday. There is a dinner party at Gasthaus Bären, which is a restaurant with a whole bunch of extra forks and spoons and glasses. In the USA this is called a 5-star. I am so jetlagged I fall asleep at the table after dessert. The elders outlast me by a couple of hours.
After Sunday breakfast, a repeat of Saturday's menu, I've eaten so much cheese I'm over it.
We spend Sunday in Burgdorf. We go to the museum of Frank Gertsch and see a guest exhibition from Cornelia Schleime. She is talented and her history of being a feminist rebel impresses me.
Die Herrin, 2002, Cornelia Schleime
After this, we visit another gallery, this time in an old meat slaughterhouse. The artist died in 2011, his name is Bernhard Luginbühl. His art is insane. There are Rube Goldberg-like pieces with switches on them to make balls roll around and clanky metal move from one side to the other. Plus cow heads!
Sunday dinner, another birthday, a cousin, 22: Fondue! I begin to fantasize about broccoli, but am distracted by cheesecake for dessert.
Sunday night we stay with relatives, artists. Sylvia makes Tiefdruck, prints made from steamrollering patterns. Ueli (a name I only hear in Switzerland) is a Marketing exec who works for Baumann, a large and creative Swiss textiles company. Ueli is also a painter and is showing in Liepzig, Germany in a few weeks.
Breakfast Monday morning: I cannot eat. Coffee.
By lunchtime I am hungry and crabby. We stop at a little mountain store on the way to a hike. They have an amazing assortment of breads and cheeses. Hm. Why is everyone here so thin when all there is to eat is cheese and chocolate?
The hike is beautiful, the mountains amazing. Dinner: more bread and cheese. With wine. YEAH!
Tuesday morning we head to Stuttgart, Germany. We stay in a cheap hotel that is located next to a car painting place…they spray, we shut the windows and go to the Porsche museum.
The Porsche museum is completely lush, with drool-worthy cars and some interesting architecture.
Porsche museum designed by Architects Delugan Meissl Associated
We eat lunch in the museum restaurant looking out into the building. I could cry because it is so pretty and I am here in this amazing place, eating smoked fish and drinking such good wine.
We return to Switzerland on Thursday night to stay with one of Ollie's cousins. We wander around Luzern, a beautiful city. We visit the place where she works, a showroom of stylish furniture. I posted some furniture photos on Google+
Friday we hike up Mt. Pilatus, it is great to hike again since all of this cheese and bread is chubbifying. Mt. Pilatus…WOW!
We spend Saturday night in Burgdorf, a family party and then go to a "Private Club" with some of the guests. The Private Club is private because you can smoke inside (like in the 80s) and we are all happy with wine.
Thanks for reading "My Summer Vacation" – 🙂

Table Grace Pb
Full Product Description
When we as Christians open our homes to friends and strangers, set the table, put on a meal, and break bread together, we invite God's blessing. This pattern of hospitality is at the heart of the gospel. Food for the body and food for the soul can and does belong together.
Table fellowship fits into the New Testament narrative so unobtrusively that we can almost miss it. Jesus used simple hospitality and meal time conversations to share some of the most profound truths of the gospel.
Our Faith is often squeezed into a corner of life reserved for church services and Bible study groups. But God desires to be at the center of our ordinary, every-day life together and never more so than in a home open to others.
Table grace is food for the mind, a metaphor for communion with God.
Table grace is food for the body, a means for sustaining physical strength.
Table grace is food for the soul, a method for understanding God's values
Table grace is food for the hungry, a model for serving Christ and his Kingdom.
Table Grace Pb by Douglas Webster was published by Christian Focus Publications in July 2002 and is our 64447th best seller. The ISBN for Table Grace Pb is 9781845507527.

Do you know that part in nearly every male-centric movie-romance in which the protagonist seems to have lost something (someone) of importance without which they spiral into a depression? About six months ago, I found myself inhabiting a plot-point of this exact nature; in the movies, it is generally resolved either when the 'hero' gains back what he has lost or he realizes that what he had was not what it seemed and he finds someone different (and better) with which to occupy his time. The space between these two points, however, is a dreadful limbo in which times seem to be at their darkest. It is not difficult to feel that you have become a pariah, unable to properly relate to the normal goings-on of the world around you.
According to legend (and song), when Phil Elverum found himself in this place, he spent a long winter in a log cabin in Norway in an effort to distance himself from the social interactions demanded by human society. While in the cabin, he wrote a series of songs which became the album Dawn of Mount Eerie. The songs on Dawn directly address the pain, regret, anger and loneliness you would expect. The second LP Phil wrote (but the first he released) under the name Mount Eerie, No Flashlight, has a completely different aura surrounding it than that of its emotional predecessor. During this sometimes difficult period in my life, I often find myself turning to No Flashlight for guidance.
I am a collector of Mount Eerie releases. I own multiple versions of much of the P.W. Elverum and Sun catalog across various formats. While many people prefer the earlier releases attributed to 'the microphones', I have always felt an affinity with the 'Mount Eerie' project. From the beginning, No Flashlight has been my favorite release.
As a physical document, it is hard to match. It has what may very well be the largest record cover in the history of the world (approx 5ft x 3.5ft). When it is completely unfolded, it details every song on the album with lyrics, explanations and/or pieces of poetry or literature which inspired the song. It is with this point that every review of No Flashlight begins to describe the way In which Phil almost demands to be studied and understood. The fact that the album can be studied is directly indicative of its substance.
Phil assumes the role of the next great American transcendentalist. He describes the need to commune with the world around us and find a way to resolve the constraints of the material world with the veracity of the natural. This point is most hammered home through a series of short vignette-like songs entitled (2 lakes), (2 mountains) and (2 moons). Each song describes the struggle of seeing "the world within the world":
There are 2 moons.
The one that everyone knows
is a reflection in a bucket wearing clothes
we see reflections
The second moon is actually the moon.
Each of these short songs shares a similar lyrical structure and repeats musical phrasings. This is a common exercise throughout the work of Mount Eerie and sometimes it can make it difficult to spot the wealth of sounds and styles covered on the recordings. No Flashlight, is marked by its meticulously arranged percussion which institutes the use of many hand-held instruments to create an earthy and gently primal atmosphere. In addition to this the songs can include anything from quiet acoustic guitars to distorted electric guitars, on through piano and even some horns.
There is an appealing romance to the world-view presented by No Flashlight. Throughout my life, I have gravitated towards the writings of Emerson and Phil's words mine a similar philosophy. On the record, he seems completely at peace with the world around him and I must wonder how so much has changed in only two years since the recording of Dawn; what was Phil able to discover to move past his period of limbo?
As I work to meet new people and keep an even disposition, it is easy to get caught up in what Phil describes as "the romance". I realize that I may see the world only the way it is shown to me and by looking at it differently, without a flashlight, I may find another world within. No one can teach me how to do this, it has to happen to me when it is time.
I can only love those dark hills
because I live in the day.
I can only see the mountain
because I live in town.
I only (claim to) love night
because I have only smelled it.
Actually living in the night means not talking about it.
I can only say "no flashlight"
because once I accidentally forgot it.
Actually living in the night means actually walking
in the dark, means
to find caves in song.

There are some weird symbols and code showing in my sidebar comments. I'm guessing the &# is code referring to comment number so-and-so. But the symbol showing in some other comments looks like a dark vertical slab with a white dot in the middle; I've never seen anything like it. It seems to be happening only with the newest comments, and it shows with both IE7 and Firefox.
My URL is http://windwhistle.wordpress.com. I'm currently using the Connections theme, but recently have been experimenting with others, including White as Milk, Regulus (yes, I clicked the button to clear its formatting), and MistyLook. I'm guessing all the switching around messed up something. I've tried changing settings, removing and reinstalling the Comments widget, clearing my caches. Weird. Any suggestions?

Simon Cowell rebutted Zayn Malik's "rude" comments about One Direction's music, suggesting the budding solo singer would reconsider his assessment with time, the Daily Mirror reports.
In a November chat with The Fader, Malik explained that one of the reasons he left One Direction was creative restraint within the band, noting that he "wasn't 100 percent behind the music."
"As much as I was in that band, and I loved everything that we did, that's not music that I would listen to," Malik said. "I want to make music that I think is cool shit."
"I think once he has had a chance to reflect on everything, he will probably reconsider what he's said because it was a very, very democratic process in the band," said Cowell, who helped form One Direction on X Factor.
By Malik's account, One Direction songs often arrived pre-packaged for the band and there was little room to maneuver while recording. Malik said that if he sang a hook or verse with an R&B tinge, he would be asked to re-record it "until there was a straight version that was pop, generic as fuck, so they could use that version."
Cowell replied, "It is a bit rude to the people who wrote all the hits with them. And to the other band members. I mean, they all wrote a lot of the stuff."
Cowell, however, added that he has not spent too much time wringing his hands over Malik since the singer's departure from One Direction in March. Though the music mogul abetted Malik's transition to a new label, RCA Records — who expect to release Malik's solo debut next year — he quickly returned his attention to One Direction, who released their final album, Made in the A.M., in November.
"To be honest, I don't even think about it too much because as soon as he left, we sorted him out with a label who really were enthusiastic about him and then my loyalty was back with the boys," Cowell said. "They had no warning. Not that they needed me, but I wanted to show that I was there for them and that they could continue without him — and they did."
In the runup to Made in the A.M., One Direction announced that they would not tour in support of the record and would take a "well-earned break" after five records and as many years of touring. Despite the hiatus, One Direction insisted they were not breaking up.

Most of you are either mothers or about to become mothers. The thought of bringing up a child in itself is a thought of responsibility. Encouraging the child to think right from the beginning would sow the seeds of independence and long term sustainability right from the beginning for the optimum growth and strength of the child.
Parents have had the responsibility to take care of their children till they become adults since times antedate. Greek and Hindu mythology adduce this fact. It was only when Chandragupta Maurya turned of age that he was handed over the responsibility of the Magadh empire. However, in the present day the methodology has changed. Today, the purpose is to not to present everything on the plate but to make them work for it. Today, the belief: "Child is the father of man" is followed.
Though children are sent to schools to enable them to learn, you cannot discount the role of parents because it is the parents that the child trusts the most. Therefore, it becomes the duty of the parent to provide him a strong base from where to grow independent.
The need for this is to make the child self-sufficient. While trying to find answers, the child should be able to know the direction in which to go and the resources that should be tapped. This will also enable the child to make mistakes and learn from them on her own. Hence, the initial guidance is of utmost importance because of its influence later on.
It will also help the child instil self-confidence in herself. Over time, the child will be able to build a healthy confidence in her abilities while being aware of her weaknesses. You should not underestimate the importance of even the smallest of acts that help in building self-confidence. A confident body comes with a confident mind!
Along with a confident mind will come a healthy self-belief. If the child is not told constantly what is good and what is bad, what to do and what not to do to; the child will feel more accepted and validated. Consequently, he will believe in his perception and this will go a long way in developing a strong personality.
Such a base would sow the seeds of a sound and thinking mind right from the beginning. It will result in the child to grow into a good and educated person. Such a person would be able to choose his peers wisely right from the childhood (hopefully!)
Such an approach will also help the child in learning her subjects in a better way. It will enable the child to over-step the boundary that divides the bookish knowledge and the practical world. This will happen as the child will begin to find the reason for whatever he is learning.
Though the 'Nature versus Nurture' debate has not been resolved, you cannot not do your bit in nurturing the child and providing her the appropriate direction thereby making encouraging the child to think the best gift that you can bestow upon her.

The Parable Of The Good Samaritan
Contributed by James Snyder on May 28, 2013 (message contributor)
Summary: Compassion is the defining attitude in kingdom living propelling us forward in ministry.
Everybody fancies himself a Good Samaritan. And everybody has good reasons why they cannot be a Good Samaritan in a particular situation. The idea is that we can pick and choose when we are going to be a Good Samaritan.
That would be okay if people could pick and choose when and what problems they would have.
Think of the last time you had an emergency. Was it planned by you? Was it convenient for you at the time?
At the very heart of the Good Samaritan is compassion. Without compassion, nothing really would get done in this world.
There are two motivating factors in a person's life.
1. Passion… External influences… Can be worked up.
2. Compassion… Internal influence… Can't be worked up.
It is easy to confuse these two.
Let's look at what Jesus has to say about a Good Samaritan in response to a lawyer's question.
"Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
On the surface, this looks like a perfectly legitimate question. However, looking at the first part of the verse gives us a hint about it.
"And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test…"
The lawyer was not asking the question in order to get an answer, but rather to put Jesus on the spot.
To be clear here, the lawyer is not some Perry Mason kind of a lawyer. What is referred to here is someone who is an expert in religious law. By the time Jesus comes on the scene, the Jewish people had developed such an intricate religious system that they needed experts to help them understand their own religion.
It seems a little pathetic to rely upon some expert to understand what your religion is all about.
It is interesting to me to see how Jesus takes this question, turns it around and addresses an issue that is really on this religious lawyer's mind. They always have an agenda.
This parable of the Good Samaritan reveals to us several things about religion and how it counters true spirituality. The key here is compassion.
Compassion is the defining attitude in kingdom living propelling us forward in ministry.
The parables especially in the gospel of Luke, outline for us kingdom living. Each parable reveals something to us about what God expects out of us who live in his kingdom.
When this religious lawyer asked his question, Jesus responds with a question of his own.
"What is written in the law? How do you read it?"
In other words, you are the expert, what does the law say?
The answer that the religious lawyer gives is interesting.
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself."
This just about covers the whole spectrum of life.
Jesus complements this religious lawyer by saying,
"You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live."
The religious lawyer is not done. He now comes to the question he had in mind in the beginning. This was something rather important to the Jewish religious people. I am sure Jesus understood the religious lawyer's definition of "neighbor."

Dan Greenfield, over at the always amazing 13th DIMENSION website, recently got together with Chip Kidd to discuss the release of Frank Miller's BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS Special Gallery Edition.
For anyone who has not heard about this book it is totally amazing! To read the full interview please CLICK HERE!
Basically what happened was DC Comics reprinted this classic graphic novel in a DELUXE FORMAT hardcover book but instead of a regular colorized "comic book" version they published it using the original art from the book. In other words, they show the black and white inked pages without color and in their original glory.
It's pretty cool and the quality is awesome! (Disclaimer: Chip Kidd didn't design the cover to this book)
In the interview Chip Kidd discusses how he came about to own, not one, but two of the actual pages of the original art by Frank Miller that were used for this book (shown down below).
Also, as a side note, we would like to mention that Chip Kidd did design the cover to the previous, original, reprinting of this graphic novel by DC Comics, both front and back, and we're sharing pics of those here:

Fourth Edition of the acclaimed and foundational study of police culture and practice, political accountability, application of and obedience to the rule of law in stops and arrests, and the dilemma of law versus order in free societies — by the renowned sociologist Jerome Skolnick using innovative and influential research techniques in law and criminology. A respected scholar of the early law and society movement, Skolnick interviewed police and criminals, rode extensively with detectives and attended interrogations, and ultimately saw police conduct and mentality from the inside, before such methodology became popular. Every student of law and society knows this book, and it is available again with a new Foreword by Candace McCoy and new Preface by the author. Fifty years after his innovative research began, the continuity and change of policing and law is seen again, in all its richness and nuance.

"Skolnick has produced a masterful account of the organization and operations of an American police department, an account which goes far beyond the pious platitudes and fiery denunciations usually heard on this subject. It also outdistances easily the ordinary administrative analysis, concentrating on the rewards and constraints policemen themselves see and respond to rather than those the efficiency experts think they ought to see and respond to. …makes an important contribution…."
–Howard Becker, reviewing the 1st ed. in Law & Society Review
"Skolnick's book analyzes the problems involved in obtaining police adherence to legally prescribed procedural limitations on their conduct. While these problems have been posed before, this is the first time that questions of such breadth have been subjected to detailed sociological analysis."
–Cyril D. Robinson, Texas Law Review

PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) – Felix Hernandez is just a signature away from officially becoming the highest-paid pitcher in baseball. King Felix and the Seattle Mariners have reached agreement on a seven-year contract worth $175 million. Hernandez is 98-76 with a 3.22 ERA in eight seasons with the Mariners.
GOODYEAR, Ariz.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Indiana Pacers forward Danny Granger could make his season debut tonight against Charlotte after participating in his second full practice yesterday afternoon. Coach Frank Vogel told reporters that Granger looked a "little rusty" and that the Pacers were eager to finally get him back on the court. The Pacers have been waiting more than three months for their leading scorer the last five seasons to recover from patellar tendinosis in his left knee.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – The Columbus Blue Jackets have fired general manager Scott Howson after nearly six years at the post. The Blue Jackets went 173-190-59 during Howson's reign and made their lone Stanley Cup playoff appearance after a franchise-best 41-31-10 mark in the 2008-09 season.

Past and present Olympic champions in Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling are calling it "mind-boggling" and a "tragedy" for the sport. The move will also rob the U.S. of one of its most successful Olympic sports. The only sports in which the Americans have won more medals than wrestling are swimming and track and field.

Timor-Leste Develops Financial Strategy for CTI National Plan of Action Implementation
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) Knowledge Management for the Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) Project organized a workshop on March 26 to April 2, 2012 in Dili, Timor-Leste to build the capacity of government, non-government and academic representatives in developing a financial strategy to implement activities in the country's CTI National Plan of Action (NPOA). The financial strategy will include a status report on the level of funding available for NPOA implementation as well as priority actions and the cost needed to implement these on the ground.
The strategy will utilize sustainable financing modalities including Payments for Ecosystem Services and will also explore several funding sources including current donor programs, tapping potential development partners and the possibility of generating internal funding sources. It will likewise provide scenarios for establishing endowment funds and the institutional requirements for its operation. The completed financial strategy will be presented at the CTI High-Level Financial Roundtable which is set on May 3, 2012 in Manila, Philippines as a side event of 45th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the ADB.

Every year when the draft budget and Macroeconomic Outlook are presented to Dutch Parliament on Prinsjesdag, media attention zooms straight in on the household purchasing power forecasts. Newspaper columns are filled with analyses about ministries dealing with cutbacks or windfalls - and about the size of the national debt. The latter expressed either in billions of euros or as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).Not a lot of attention usually goes to investment or to financial markets generally. Indeed, it's not easy, as most budgetary measures don't really invite comment of this kind. Still, the government is a key player in the bond market, being the country's largest issuer of bonds. And the government influences financial markets and the investment climate in other ways as well. Usually in indirect ways, when it comes to investment opportunities for investors. For instance, government measures can have consequences for corporate earnings, and thus for investor returns.
Government measures can have consequences for corporate earnings, and thus for investor returns.
Ben Steinebach Head of Investment Strategy
The feed-through of tax relief to financial markets
Let's look at some of these indirect effects. The government has decided, for example, to raise the earned income tax credit for middle and higher incomes. The budgetary effect will amount to €500 million. This tax relief measure will free up more money for investing than the reduction of the tax rate in the lowest income tax bracket (involving €475 million). This is because the savings ratio is higher for higher income households, while lower-income households devote a larger portion of what they earn to consumption.
Another indirect effect is related to the sharp decline of capital market rates. Since year-end 2013, the interest rate on Dutch 10-year government bonds has dropped by over one percentage point to just 1.2%. Given the government's borrowing requirement of €25 billion in 2014, that saves €250 million. This is not structural, of course, as interest charges will rise again when interest rates eventually start climbing. But the government could decide to use this amount to give the economy a one-off boost. In particular in the form of subsidies to innovative start-ups.
Encourage innovative start-ups
Subsidies for innovative start-ups would improve the structure of the Dutch economy and could contribute towards a more favourable investment climate. Young, innovative companies often supply new technology to more mature and established companies, including listed ones. Assuming that the government does not influence the market shares of companies in the longer term, this can in theory lead to higher corporate earnings via lower costs and higher productivity.
Sometimes, a combination of the two is possible, when innovative ideas and technologies structurally reduce cost levels. Well-crafted government measures to foster innovation can ultimately improve the profitability of listed companies, which helps to create a better investment climate. Although the National Budget was not written with investors in mind, a measure like this would do the Dutch investment climate a world of good.

Nadal elevates game as Djokovic threatens French reign
Updated 7:36 pm, Saturday, June 7, 2014
PARIS - Novak Djokovic knows the road to his first French Open title goes through Rafael Nadal.
It is a road he has not crossed, but one he knows he can.
"I know what I need to do in order to win," Djokovic said after defeating Ernests Gulbis 6-3, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in a semifinal Friday. "It's easier said than done, of course, because we all know how good he is on this court. But he's not unbeatable."
Nadal, 28, looked unbeatable Friday, routing Andy Murray 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 in the other semifinal to reach the final at Roland Garros for the fifth straight year. Nadal, the top seed, has lost one set in the tournament.
No. 1 ranking at stake
The French Open is the only Grand Slam tournament Djokovic, 27, has not won. Nadal, who has won it a record eight times, defeated him in the 2012 final and in five sets in the 2013 semifinals.
"Knowing that I was that close to win against him the past two years gives me that reason to believe that I can make it this time," the second-seeded Djokovic said.
The No. 1 ranking also will be at stake in Sunday's final, which will be the 42nd meeting between Nadal and Djokovic, adding to an Open era record for men. Djokovic has won the last four, including the final in Rome on clay last month.
Djokovic has been better recently on clay, where he is 14-1 this year. Nadal has had some surprising losses this spring, but he is 24-3 on the surface this season.
"I lost a few matches, but playing the way that I played today, probably I will not," Nadal said. "But another thing that is true is every week on the clay-court season I was doing something better."
And he has not been better on clay this season than he was Friday, defeating the seventh-seeded Murray with ruthless efficiency. Nadal won 91 percent of his first-serve points and lost only 10 points on his own serve against one of the game's best returners. He also converted all six of his break-point chances.
Murray called it the toughest match he had played against Nadal.
"Today he was hitting extremely hard, extremely heavy, returning well, and was hitting it well on the run," Murray said. "You can go out there with, you know, all the tactics in the world, but when he's hitting the ball like that, it's very difficult to hit the ball where you want to."
Own worst critic
Nadal's forehand was particularly lethal. Fifteen of his 24 winners came from that side, where he had been struggling to hit winners early in the clay season.
"I was not able to take advantage when I was hitting with my forehand," he said. "I was losing court. I was playing with more mistakes than usual."

Positron emission tomography with 18fluorine-labelled deoxyglucose: utility in localized and advanced prostate cancer
Sanz G, Robles JE, Giménez M, Arocena J, Sánchez D, Rodriguez-Rubio F, Rosell D, Richter JA, Berián JM.
Department of Urology, University Hospital, School of Medicine, Pamplona, Spain
Revista: BJU International
Fecha: 01-dic-1999Medicina Nuclear Urología
To determine the role of the positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-labelled deoxyglucose in the identification of prostatic cancer in the iliac and obturator lymphatic nodes before radical prostatectomy, and in the localization of relapse in patients in biochemical progression.
Twenty-one patients were divided into two groups. Group A consisted of 11 men diagnosed with organ-confined prostate cancer, where attention was focused on the iliac and obturator lymphatic nodes, the results being compared with the pathological anatomy obtained from surgical procedures. Group B included 10 patients treated by radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy or orchidectomy and who were in biochemical progression, in whom the aim was to identify recurrence of the disease.
In none of the 11 patients of group A who had undergone radical prostatectomy were deposits of radiotracer identified in the area of the iliac and obturator nodes which would indicate node metastases. However, the histopathological analysis of these nodes showed tumour in three patients. In group B the PET scans showed recurrence of prostate cancer (by deposits of radiotracer) more clearly than did computed tomography (CT) in two patients (both with recurrence in soft tissue). In one patient bone scintigraphy identified a lesion compatible with prostatic disease in the bone; this was clinically confirmed but was not identified by PET.
PET, using deoxyglucose labelled with 18F, cannot reliably identify prostatic adenocarcinoma in the iliac and obturator lymph nodes before surgery; other tracers may give better results. To locate relapses in patients with biochemical progression, PET seems to have better sensitivity than CT when identifying diseases in soft tissues and is possibly inferior to bone scintigraphy in detecting bony metastases.

This morning we recalculated the Q values in all GREAT3 leaderboards following revision of the definition of the metrics, so do not be perturbed if you saw a change in your submission score!
The scaling of the metrics has been revised in light of submission data to ensure that a score of Q~1000 indicates excellent performance, with some allowance for statistical uncertainties. More than one team now appears to be exceeding bias targets in some branches: this is a fantastic achievement.
Competitive team rankings in the Overall Leaderboard did not change in the update, and although there were small changes in rankings in the individual (variable shear) branches these did not affect the top teams.
A detailed description of the revised metrics, and an explanation for why we made the revision, can be found here: Why_Update_Metrics.pdf.

J!nx Merch Makes Its Way To Brick-And-Mortar New York Store
Fast Society: Not Your Mother's Group Messaging App (TCTV)
Raise your hand if you've ever bought one of those wacky shirts from J!nx? I did, once: it was the "All Your Oil Belong To U.S." It was a timely shirt, purchased during the height of President Bush's tenure when it looked like, well, all the world's oil belonged to us. In any event, the shirt worked: at "geeky" gatherings people "got" the shirt, and that's all I ever wanted. I bring this us up because J!nx merch can now be purchased at a store in New York. No longer will you have to wait to purchase a shirt that cleverly links geopolitics and poorly translated video games. Nirvana!
You'll be able to find Jinx stuff at the Yellow Rat Bastard store in Soho. This Monday, January 17, will be J!NX Day at the store, which means everything will be 25 percent off.
