Master Chief and Cortana return to, once again, save humanity in the next chapter in the Halo saga. New developer, 343 industries, not only deliver an instantly classic Halo experience, but also raise the bar for the series... and for console shooters as a whole.
4 years after the events of Halo 3, Master Chief and Cortana are still adrift on a derelict ship after having ended the long running and devestating Covenant campaign against the human race. Cortana brings Chief out of cryo-sleep when they stumble across a mystical mechanical planet and a rogue Covenant fleet. Before long, the duo find them selves on the strange forerunner world,Requiem, where they discover a new threat to humanity's existence.
Halo 4's story is expertly told with great emotional weight focusing on the relationship between Master Chief and Cortana as they find themselves at the center of a new grand conflict. Their story is finely woven into the greater narrative, raising interesting questions about the essence of humanity and the relationship between humans and machines as both Cortana and the Chief find themselves somewhere in between the two. Gorgeous cutscenes and the great pacing of the campaign drive the story forward, but it's the excellent voice acting that really sells it. The performance of Steve Downes as Master chief lends some much needed humanity to the character, but the star of the show is without a doubt Jen Taylor as Cortana. Halo 4 delivers the most engaging story in a Halo game so far.
Halo's greatest strength however has always been the core combat. 343 industries manage to retain all the familiar elements that make Halo so much fun, while successfully introducing some new things. For the first time in a Halo game there's a default sprint function, which is a welcome addition and is well integrated into the Halo experience. Armor capabilities return with some familiars, like the jetpack, and some new ones such as the light-shield. The addition of new enemies and a bunch of cool new guns and vehicles is a breath of fresh air and add a new dynamic to the combat.
You'll be taking on the familiar covenant baddies; your grunts, elites, jackals and hunters and they still offer a fun challenge. But it's the new forerunner race, the Prometheans, which really add some spice to the mix. Fighting these foes simultaneously makes for some of the most interesting battles in the franchise. The canine-like Crawlers are agile and have the ability to climb on most surfaces. They will lay down suppressing fire and swarm you to flush you out of cover. The other two Promethean enemy types are the Knights and Watchers. The big hulking Knights are a mean bunch and can take a lot of punishment before going down. Armed with a projectile weapon as well as a devastating energy-blade, Knights can teleport around the battlefield and will employ this ability both aggressively and defensively. The Watchers are flying sentinels that provide cover-fire and also act as medics on the battlefields. They can catch grenades in mid-air and generate energy shields, and will resurrect fallen Knights, so making them a priority target in any skirmish is vital.
The Prometheans introduce some new toys to play with, adding to the already substantial arsenal of Halo 4. While the new guns fit familiar niches, they standout with their distinct aesthetics and tweaked functions. The scattershot is essentially a Promethean shotgun with bullets that ricochet and the boltshot pistol can be charged up for a devastating blast of energy. Human and Covenant favorites are also present along with a couple of new goodies thrown in on either side. The key to success in Halo's combat has always been choosing the right tool for any given situation, and the clever and responsive AI in combination with outstanding level design usually offers the player many different approaches to deal death to the alien scum that stands in your way.
The engaging combat is complemented by the exceptional art design and gorgeous visuals. Halo 4 is one of, if not the best looking game on the Xbox 360. The graphics are a feast for the eyes and show that there is yet some untapped potential in the current generation of consoles. Animations are smooth and lifelike, the textures and character models are crisp, and the lighting and bloom effects are at times mesmerizing. Every now and then I had to stop for a moment just to take in the view when not in the heat of battle. The vast colorful landscapes and distinctive architecture of human, Covenant and forerunner structures come together to create a world that is unmistakably Halo. A welcome sight for sore eyes in these days of the grey and brownish modern military shooter that defines and over saturates the FPS genre.
Halo 4 is not only pretty to look at but sounds stellar too. The guns sound better than ever before and deliver that extra punch and oomph that has been a bit lacking in recent Halo games. Great attention has been giving to the smallest of details and every little sound effect is spot-on. Master Chief's armor makes clinks and clanks as you move around, and while subtle, it really adds a lot to the immersion. The musical score is also superb most of the time. British electronica producer Neil Davidge replaces longtime Bungie composer Marty O'Donnell, with some mixed results. Davidge's score complements the new storytelling approach magnificently, and really underlines the great voice acting during dramatic scenes. The soundtrack falls a bit short during the more intense action moments in comparison to O'Donnell's grandiloquent compositions. Nevertheless Halo 4 provides an outstanding audial package.
Multiplayer is what made Halo the king of console FPS' back in the day, and Halo 4 shows that the franchise still offers some of the best multiplayer action around. 343 industries carry Bungie's torch high and offer an online experience that is instantly recognizable by longtime Halo fans, as well incorporating some modern genre mechanics that makes the game a bit more accessible to newcomers. A level-up system similar to Call of Duty has been introduced as well as custom class load outs. Combined with the sprint function and the inclusion of a perk system and ordinance drops, Halo 4 is closer to its competition without losing touch with that classic Halo feel. The distinctive Halo gunplay is still at the core of the experience.
The map design is good and well balanced and most maps cater to various play styles. There are some new modes like Dominion, essentially the equivalent to Domination in CoD, where there are three points on the map that teams battle for control over. The twist is that if one team holds all three points, a sudden death round is initiated where the leading team can instantly win the round if every player on the opposing team is eliminated before they manage to re-capture a point. Flood is 343's way of tipping their hat to the Halo community as the mode is based on a user created gametype called Infection. The Forge once again gives players a playground where they can create their own maps and gametypes, now with more tools and options than ever. The Theater mode makes a return as well for fans to review, edit and share great moments from recent matches.
The Halo franchise has never settled for only competitive multiplayer, so of course there is co-operative multiplayer too. The campaign in its entirety can be enjoyed with up to 3 friends, and it feels organic and is just as much fun as always to blast through the story with some friends to back you up. The firefight mode of Halo:ODST and Reach has been replaced by Spartan Ops; an episodic co-op campaign that takes place six months after Halo 4's main campaign. Each episode is divided into several short chapters and provides some story content with a lush CG cutscene and in-game radio communications. The only gripe is that there isn't much incentive to re-play the episodes once beaten. At the time of writing two episodes have been released, and 343 will release a new free weekly episode for ten weeks. It's hard to say at this point how deep the overall story of Spartan Ops will end up being, but it's a fun and interesting approach nonetheless.
Halo 4 is not a groundbreaking game by any means. What it is however is an expertly crafted FPS experience and a step forward for the series. With a thrilling campaign and a plethora of multiplayer options 343 industries have created a great new installment in one of gaming's biggest and most prolific franchises. It's a new series high in storytelling and visual and sound design, and I'm confident that this new Halo trilogy is in good hands. Master Chief is back in the fight, and he's bigger and more badass than ever!
|We liked Thrilling and Well Paced Campaign, Tight and Engaging Combat and Gunplay, Co-op, Huge Multiplayer, and Gorgeous Presentation,
|We disliked Soundtrack is Occasionally Lacking During the Action, and Spartan Ops has Limited Replay Value.

Should Hospitals have the right to treat patients while ignoring their religious beliefs or general beliefs.
Lately, I have been reading a lot of stories of Hospitals treating very sick kids while ignoring their parents religious beliefs. Now the question I have to the TED community is do you think this is right? I believe that Hospitals should have the right to treat the sick while ignoring people's religious beliefs. Why you may ask? Because religion has not yet caught up to science. Why would anyone want to leave their life in the hands of religion which is not proven to save your life? Compared to medical treatments which are proven to give you a better chance of living. Now I am not here to offend anyone's views or beliefs I just wanted to get some feedback on this issue. My thinking is is that once my life is endangered religion is an afterthought. Thank you

Dec 1 2013: Ethan,
Faith healing is widely practiced by Christian Scientists, Pentecostals, the Church of the First Born, the Followers of Christ, and myriad smaller sects. Many of these believers reject all medical treatment in favor of prayer, anointing with oils, and sometimes exorcisms. Some even deny the reality of illness. When they reject medical treatment for their children, they may be guilty of negligence and homicide. Until recently, religious shield laws have protected them from prosecution; but the laws are changing, as are public attitudes. Freedom of religion has come into conflict with the duty of society to protect children. The right to believe does not extend to the right to endanger the lives of children- is like religiously motivated child abuse-.
However faith-based organizations are lobbying for the right to treat dependents and themselves "spiritually" and with spiritual practitioners instead of Physicians. That means that if someone's child gets sick and the parents hire a "spiritual practitioner" to pray for that child and the child suffers injury or even death, the parents (in some states) will not be charged. Neither will the "practitioner." Children can die from treatable illness and can suffer severe injury due to lack of preventative care, and because it is done in the name of religion, the state doesn't prosecute.People of Faith pay Thousands of dollars to have "someone" to pray away their illness These people are told not to see doctors and not to pray($$$) for themselves because that might "interfere." Religious freedom or license to kill?,it's horrible.Absolutely no one,has the freedom to harm their children or dependents for any reason. The rights of one person end where the wellbeing and safety of children begin. We must choose as a society to protect children above protecting the religious rights of their parents. There can be no exception to standards of physical health and safety for children. Period.

Let not the servants of the Virgin be weary of giving daily some little alms in her honour, and increase it every Saturday.
And if they can do nothing else, at least for love of Mary, perform some other act of charity, as visiting the sick, praying for sinners and for the souls in purgatory, etc. Works of mercy are very pleasing to this mother of mercy.

BOSTON – To no one's surprise, the Montreal Canadiens locker room was filled with several media members from both teams after their morning skate at TD Garden.
To very little surprise, the Habs locker room is looking for something more important other than revenge on Zdeno Chara; two points.
"I expect a tight, checking, game," Habs coach Jacques Martin said, who's team trails by three points in the Northeast division standings. "Both teams have strong goaltending. Both teams are in the top 10 in terms of goals against and we're in a battle for first place in the division – we trail them – and this is the last meeting between the two teams in the regular season, so this is a good opportunity for us to hopefully gain some ground. The two points are huge."
Make no mistake about it, the last chapter of the rivalry was written when Chara shoved Habs forward Max Pacioretty into the turnbuckle between the two benches the last time the two teams met at the Bell Centre, which resulted in a 4-1 win for Montreal. Although there were some – particularly from the Montreal fans and media – who expected the 6-foot-9 defenseman to be disciplined afterwards, the league obviously decided that there was no need to suspend Chara after the hit, even though Pacioretty suffered a Grade 2 concussion and a fractured vertebra.
The aftermath of the announcement got very ugly up in Montreal, where Chara is now being investigated (still) by the Montreal police after several phone calls from Habs fans, and one of the leagues sponsors, Air Canada, threatened to pull out of their deal.
At practice yesterday, Chara, who was pleased to hear that Pacioretty was doing well in his recovery, spoke to the media about his attempts to reach out to him.
"Obviously I'm glad that he's doing much better and he's probably going to be playing [again] based on the reports we heard," Chara said. "I'm glad he's going to be fine. That's good news.
"I made a few attempts to reach out to him, but so far nothing."
But afterwards, things got a bit interesting when Mark Recchi was a guest on Felger and Mazz, the afternoon drive time show on 98.5 the sports hub. His comments suggested that the Habs and Pacioretty "embellished" the extent of the injury.
"There's an injury – he does have, obviously, a fractured vertebra, but the concussion was really a non factor. Maybe for a day or two he felt it, and he was fine a couple days later," Recchi said yesterday on 98.5.
"I believe, yeah, that they were trying to get Zdeno suspended and they embellished it a little bit. I guess they were trying to do what they could to get him suspended. I think the league sent the message that it was a hockey play, and that's the most important thing that people have to understand. We all know it was an accident and that's the bottom line."
Although a couple of members from the Habs – defenseman Hal Gil and Martin – decided not to respond to Recchi's remarks yesterday, there were some who made a few comments about the claim, like defenseman Paul Mara and forwards Mathieu Darche and Jeff Halpren, just to name a few.
"How can you question a player who has been knocked out for three to four minutes with a broken vertebra," Mara said. "How do you question the integrity of a hockey team and that we're embellishing it? It is really questionable coming from a guy…who has been around the league for so long. He's entitled to his opinion and we're entitled to ours, but in Montreal we really know the truth."
"You never want to question anyone's injury whether he's on your team or another team," Halpren said. "I have a ton of respect for Rex [Recchi], he's a good friend of mine, but I think the significance of Patches [Pacioretty] as a team is important and its hard to mistake that.
"As far as the concussion…I've had a concussion before and you do whatever you want to do to make yourself feel better," Halpren added. "Your living in a fog for that time – whether its headaches or dizziness – and you do what you can to feel better. It's a global process, if he wanted to go to a movie that's his decision. He was out cold on the ice and I don't think you can question those type of things."
Even with all the activity surrounding this rivalry, Martin doesn't see his team getting caught in the distractions.
"I don't think that's a problem [for our team]," he said. "I think they know the importance of the hockey game."

Letters to the Editor
Blend on!
The Editor:
I wanted to update people on The Blender high school youth center. We have had a great first eight months. Since we opened in October, we have been able to add many great things to the center. Along with the pool table, ping-pong, and foosball, we have added an air hockey table, eight and a half-foot basketball hoop (great for slam-dunks), PS2 console and video games (Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 rocks), snacks and drinks, and a great stage for performances.
Speaking of the stage, we are having a high school Battle of the Bands on Friday, June 7. If you are in a high school band and want to compete in the competition, let us know. Tell your friends about it. High schoolers from all local cities are welcome. Get over there and support your friends and lets get The Blender rocking.
We are also having a car wash fundraiser on Saturday, June 1. The car wash is totally free. The way we are raising money is by receiving pledges of 50 cents per car that we wash. Our goal is to wash 50 cars. That means that the maximum any pledge would be is $25.
Even if we wash 100 cars on this day we will cap the pledge at $25. You can support us by making a tax-deductible pledge and/or making sure you get your free car wash on June 1. Everyone who pledges is eligible for our drawing of a free pass for two to golf at Semiahmoo golf course (that is a value of up to $200). So pledge and win!
We will also be having a garage sale on June 22 & 23. If you have things hanging around the house that you do not use and have some sort of value, we hope you will make a tax-deductible donation of the items to help us raise money needed to keep The Blender running.
Finally, if you are a high school student (graduating 8th graders included) and are looking for some fun this summer, consider joining us on our outdoor adventures. We are planning sailing trips and lessons, a mountain biking trip, camping, rock climbing, and hiking day trips. Lets get out there and enjoy the beautiful summer weather western Washington gives its residents.
If you are interested in participating in any of the above mentioned events you can contact me by phone at 371-5362 (office) or 332-8461(youth center). You can also email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, or send correspondence to P.O. Box 3361. Lets have some fun this summer.

There could be an error in the letter in the May 2 edition in which the writer states that a Canadian company is suing the US government for one billion dollars under terms of NAFTA.
The Canadian government paid a U.S. firm $18 million under terms of NAFTA for potential future earnings. The gasoline additive product has been banned for use in both Canada and the U.S. for a number of years. Under the same NAFTA ruling the U.S. is suing Mexico for about $50 million because Mexico will not allow a Texas firm to dump toxic waste in their country.
And under the same ruling, UPS is suing the Canadian postal service for $200 million because Canada owns a parcel delivery service which delivers to all areas of Canada and not just the major market areas. This is not a subsidy as UPS claims.

You have a great little newspaper - we enjoy its many talents.
Thanks for keeping us informed on the border and what, if anything will ever happen re: the PACE Lane. It seems as far off as the moon at this time.
We were wondering what happens to the $25 we paid for the PACE lane a few days before 9/11. It has not been refunded and as we are on a fixed income, it matters.
I wonder how many more had this experience.

It saddened me to see the news about Dan Newell in last weeks edition of The Northern Light. Im sad because those who dont know this very good man may form an opinion about him based on a mistake hes made. Im sad because those who enjoy seeing public people struggle will secretly rejoice, or will not-so-secretly have something juicy to gossip about.
If the allegation is true, then Mr. Newell is guilty of making a serious mistake in his personal life and I dont try to justify it. But for stone-casters, who among you hasnt made mistakes? Who doesnt have some personal transgression you would be mortified to find headlined in the local paper? As the saying goes, nobodys perfect though some may act the part.
But still, its been said that school personnel are held to a higher standard, and that we always need to focus on whats best for the kids. It should be remembered in this difficult time that Mr. Newell has met that higher standard for more than a dozen years at BHS, and that his primary focus has always been the welfare of Blaine students. He loves them. He expects the best from them, and they usually respond.
We all hope to learn from our mistakes and I believe this mistake will make Mr. Newell even more fantastic with kids, because in my humble opinion, the best educators, the best leaders, the best people are those whove made personal mistakes, and have overcome them. In working with kids, these people are able to draw on very real experiences, and kids respond to real more readily than they respond to theory. I have no doubt that Mr. Newell will use this real experience to help kids. After all, thats what he does best.
Finally, as a parent, I hope that Dan Newell decides to stay on as principal at BHS for many years, so that my three children can experience the level of caring support, motivation and leadership offered by this good man with the booming laugh.

EC2 Couchbase Server 2.0 Instance
This is more of a general question:
We originally set up a cluster using the official CouchBase 1.8.3 image and upgraded all 3 nodes to 2.0.
We have noted high RAM usage on 1 of the 3 nodes we have in a cluster. Manually initiatign a failing-over a node and re-balancing, results in higher RAM usage on another of the 3 nodes.
The biggest difference we have seen thus far is 99.4% RAM usage on one node, whilst the other two are at 50%
After a failover/rebalance i'm seeing a more even RAM usage pattern though 1 node RAM usage is growing much faster than the other two...we were expecting a more even\similar RAM usage among the nodes.
My question, what could cause the RAM usage ratios among the nodes to become skewed, should we be looking more closely at the .net clients that access the cluster?
Some background information:
Each node has 15 GB of RAM, with a quota 10 GB per node for our Couchbase test bucket with 1 replica. Ops per sec on the node with the most RAM usage is ~25 ops per sec spikes, average ops per second on the bucket is 6 roughly 14 K objects in the bucket.
Couchbase 2.0 consumes more resources than 1.8, since it does more thing for example auto-compaction of the data on the disk.
This blog post from Perry explains some of the reasons:
During your move from 1.8 to 2.0 have you change the way you are using Couchbase (using views for example) or you are using it as a Key/Value database?

Problematic pump
By The Northern Girl
from Timmins
I received this product and only got 3 days used out of it. It seemed to work well and then the pump stopped working. Was unable to return it as I had thrown the boxes out in the recycling which had already been picked up. I love all of Kimora's other product and give them an A plus, but not willing to pay a second time for the same product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

By Ginette
from Welland
the pump stopped working after one use. What I did get to use seemed to work well. Next day, no matter how I tried to use it, the pump simply wouldn't work. Called TSC and am waiting for a replacement. I had the same issue with the instant wrinkle eraser. One other person also had the same issue. Hoping TSC will advise Kimora or her staff that the pumps are not working well. A tube would work quite well, and also be less expensive. Will advise again when I receive the replacement and hopefully get to really use the product.

Wish I could give a rating
Received the product, got one pump of the liquid, then the pump stopped working completely. Returning the product, and waiting for replacement from TSC. This is the second product from Kimora that has this problem. Will update when I get the replacement product. Hopefully the pump on that one won't quit.

With just four days until the election, Michelle Obama fired up the
crowd on a solo campaign appearance at Virginia State University by making a
pitch to the many students in the audience.
The first lady said she and her husband know what it is like to deal with student debt.
"When it comes to giving our young people the education that they deserve, understand this, Barack knows, like me, and like so many of you, that there is absolutely no way that we could have gone to college without financial aid," Obama said. "We would not be standing here today without financial aid," she told a cheering crowd of more than 3,000 at Daniel Gymnasium.
Obama not only cited her husband's administration's efforts to expand access to college loans but also access to health care as a part of a broader governing philosophy that economic inequality shouldn't have to hold people back.
"When you've done well and you've finally walked through that doorway of opportunity, you don't slam it shut behind you. No, you reach back and give others the same chances that helped you succeed," Obama said. "That is how Barack and I and so many of you were raised. More than anything else, that's what this election is about. It's about choices, about our values, hopes and aspirations," she said.
"This is the American promise," Obama continued. "If you work hard and you do what you're supposed to do, then you should be able to build a decent life for yourself and an even better life for your kids and grandkids," she said.
Obama's visit at VSU was her second campaign stop in Virginia yesterday, after an appearance at Hampton University, another historically black college. For the Obama campaign, winning Virginia and its 13 electoral votes is crucial in the race to reach the 270 benchmark in order to win the president a second term in the White House.
Obama urged her audience to not take her husband's 2008 victory in the commonwealth for granted. She said his comfortable 235,000-vote margin last time equates to a mere 100 votes per precinct as she implored the crowd to keep up the intensity through Tuesday night. "It may come down to just one vote in your precinct, and that vote could be in your apartment next door," she said.
"If we win a few more precincts, we win this state, and if we win this state we'll be well on our way to putting Barack back in the White House for four more years," Obama said. "It will all come down to what happens in a few battleground states, like right here in Virginia," she said.
Obama also pitched to the many women in her audience, telling them about what made her fall in love with the president. "My heart is taken," she said. "I love how he was so devoted to his family, especially the women. I saw the respect that Barack had for his mother. I know how proud he was that she put herself through school while still supporting him as a single mom. And I saw the tenderness that he felt for his grandmother," she said. "With Barack, I found a real connection because in his life story I saw so much of my own."
The first lady said that the first bill the president signed into law was the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. She said that because of the president's health care reform, insurance companies can no longer charge women more than men for the same coverage, and they can no longer discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions, like diabetes and asthma.
Obama said that in four days, Virginians will get the opportunity to re-elect a man who is decent and honest. "This is a man whose courage and integrity we have seen for the last four years," she said.
Reminding the crowd that when her husband took office, she said the economy was "on the brink of collapse." Obama said that the auto industry was in a crisis. "The economy was losing 800,000 jobs a month. A lot of folks were wondering what would happen if we were get into another Great Depression. This is what Barack faced on day one as president. But instead of pointing fingers and placing blame, your president got to work," she said.
Obama never mentioned her husband's challenger, Republican candidate Mitt Romney, by name. But she took a snipe at him when she said that "cutting 'Sesame Street' is no way to balance our budget," referring to Romney's remark in the first presidential debate that he likes Big Bird, but that he does not want to continue funding PBS.
Her husband, however, cut taxes for small businesses and working families, "because he believes that teachers and firefighters should not pay higher tax rates than millionaires," Obama said. "And that's while some folks were willing to let the auto industry go under. More than a million jobs would have been lost. Barack had the back of American workers, and that's why today, the auto industry is back on its feet," she said.
Obama said America was on the right track under her husband's administration. "For the past four years, together, slowly but surely, we've been pulling ourselves out of that hole," she said. "Are we going to turn around and go back to the same policies that got us in that hole in the first place?"
The crowd answered in unison, yelling "no!"

Thats right where I live and I never knew!! i need to check it out...
This is exactly the type of place I would've been a bit intimidated to walk into on a whim. I probably have walked by it many times over the years. Somehow it looks much snootier on the outside than on the inside. Thanks for showing it to us so that we know there's nothing to be afraid of.
Neat store. More pics please.

With its hodgepodge of architectural styles and many distinctive neighborhoods, there are always new surprises in store for any traveler to Berlin. Known for its cozy cafés, sparkling nightlife, and vibrant street art, the capitol of Germany is also steeped in a colorful and fascinating history that overlaps throughout the city. And lucky for you, IHG has plenty of Berlin hotels to suit every need and fancy.
Dive right into your Berlin exploration with a visit to Museum Island, which houses more world class museums in its small circumference than many cities at large. Stop first at the Pergamon Museum, where you'll travel through the gates of Babylon and across the world through a vast collection of ancient Greek, Middle-Eastern, and Islamic art. The sculpture exhibits at the Bode Museum are also a must, as is the Neues Museum -- a formerly bullet-ridden building that sat empty for decades after the end of WWII until its full reconstruction in 2009. And no tour of Museum Island would be complete without climbing the tower of the Berliner Dom for an exquisite view of the city.
Once you're done on the island, head to the Kulturforum to see collections of European paintings in the Gemäldegalerie and unique and historical instruments at the Musikinstrumenten Museum. WWII buffs will also want to experience history firsthand at any number of memorials and museums.Families will have a blast at the Berlin zoo, which has the largest number of species in the world. Or head to Wannsee, otherwise known as "Berlin's bathtub", to test the waters along with the locals. After you've had a soak, going shopping in the nostalgically charming Kaufhaus Des Westens at Wittenbergplatz, reputed to be the largest department store in Continental Europe, will be sure to warm your day.
Then find your way back to your comfortable and convenient IHG hotel, where the friendly staff will happily help you plan for tomorrow. With world class amenities and locations that can't be beat, there's no better way to make the most of your stay than booking one of our IHG hotels in Berlin.

The My Heritage team before the acquisition. My Heritage
My Heritage today announced it purchased one of its competitors, Geni—founded by Yammer mastermind David Sacks—for an unsdisclosed amount. And while the company's brass were at it, the Israeli-based genealogy startup went ahead and let us know it's raised an additional $25 million. Not a bad day.
"Buying Geni.com is a huge boost to our family-history network—adding a new community with a large amount of high-quality, user-generated family tree content from around the world," according to a statement announcing the deal.
Although the two sites—combined, they consist of 72 million registered users, 27 million family trees, and a total of 1.5 billion profiles—will share data, they will remain separate. That means if a user happens to have an account with each company, he or she will continue to do so.
As part of the deal, Sacks, who just this June sold Yammer to Microsoft for $1.2 billion, joins My Heritage's board of directors, and Geni's Los Angeles offices will become a new research and development hub for the company.
The investment round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners—which also helped incubate LinkedIn, Pinterest, Skype, and Yelp—and brings the genealogy company's total amount raised to $49 million, which will be used to boost operations in the years ahead, grow its numbers, and provide "better" services for the users.

A Closer Look At Heel Pain And Baxter's Neuritis
- Patrick DeHeer DPM FACFAS
- 5347 reads
- 1 comments
Through my 23 years of practice, I often think of the old adage, "When you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras." I consider myself a very good diagnostician. I base my diagnoses on comprehensive history and physical examination. However, there are times when the patient is not progressing as expected and those "hoof beats" are actually zebras. One such case is heel pain from Baxter's neuritis, which is entrapment of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve.
The literature on heel pain consistently notes that about 85 percent of the cases will respond to conservative care.1 When it comes to unresponsive cases, one should consider the possibility of Baxter's neuritis prior to proceeding with any more invasive therapies.
Baxter's neuritis typically occurs where the nerve takes a right angle turn from the medial aspect of the calcaneus. It travels laterally across the plantar aspect of the foot to the abductor digiti minimi muscle anterior to the plantar tubercle of the calcaneus. The nerve travels between the abductor hallucis and quadratus plantae muscles along the medial aspect of the calcaneus. It then turns around, traveling across the plantar aspect of the foot between the flexor digitorum brevis and quadratus plantae muscles approximately 0.5 cm anterior to the plantar calcaneal tubercle. The nerve terminates at the abductor digiti minimi muscle, which it innervates.
Practitioners should consider this diagnosis when heel pain is not responding to standard conservative measures.
Specific symptoms for Baxter's neuritis include:
• No morning pain but pain towards the end of the day
• Paresthesias across the plantar aspect of the heel laterally
• Pain on palpation of the medial heel along the course of the nerve between the abductor hallucis and quadratus plantae muscles
One can most accurately confirm this diagnosis through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which shows increased water signal and fibrofatty changes of the abductor digiti minimi muscle, indicating atrophy.
The non-surgical approach to Baxter's neuritis is similar to that of plantar fasciitis. The difference is that often the non-surgical approach for Baxter's neuritis is not as predictable as that for plantar fasciitis. Utilize the standard external support via strappings and orthoses, equinus stretching via bracing, and inflammation reduction in the conservative treatment of Baxter's neuritis. If symptoms persist, one may give a steroid injection at the painful point of palpation along the medial aspect of the calcaneus. Due to the entrapment neuropathy associated with this condition, it is typically minimally responsive to conservative therapy.
The surgical approach I utilize is similar to the approach that Baxter originally described.1 It consists of making an incision along the course of the nerve at the medial aspect of the heel extending to the plantar surface and traveling laterally just anterior to the weightbearing surface of the calcaneus approximately halfway across the heel. I then carry the dissection down to the deep fascia of the abductor hallucis muscle belly, which I release in a circumferential manner. I proceed to release the flexor retinaculum overlying the neurovascular bundle to at least the medial malleolus.
I proceed to perform a plantar fasciectomy, removing a section of plantar fascia without violating the lateral band of the plantar fascia in order to lessen lateral column pain due to pronatory changes. I will retract the abductor hallucis muscle dorsally while retracting the flexor digitorum brevis muscle laterally to expose the course of Baxter's nerve. One should carefully release any adhesions along the course of the nerve. It is not necessary to see the nerve. Often, one can only see the venae comitantes. It is very important to avoid injuring the veins as this will cause bleeding that results in increased postoperative fibrosis and scarring. Recently, I have been using amniotic membrane (Amniox Medical) and placing it over the neurovascular bundle beneath the abductor hallucis muscle belly. Lastly, I will close the incision with 4-0 nylon sutures.
Postoperatively, the patient is weightbearing in a cast boot for five weeks with sutures removed at two weeks. After five weeks, the patient can transition into a gym shoe without using a custom orthosis. At approximately eight weeks, the plantar scar tissue has time to remodel. The patient can return to normal activity with physical therapy as needed. Baxter's study showed 85 percent good to excellent results.1 Comparable patient results are realistic with adherence to the surgical technique.

Excellent article on Baxter's neuritis. This can sometime be an "under the radar screen" diagnosis.
Surgical treatment may be needed for Baxter's neuritis but there are non-surgical treatment approaches that are not listed in this article. Baxter's nerve is largely a sensory nerve with a motor branch to abductor digiti minimi. Treatment with neurolysis either chemical or radiofrequency is thus of low risk. Chemical neurolysis may be utilized in a similar fashion to that of such treatment for intermetatarsal neuromas although sonographic guidance does appear be helpful.
The advantage of radiofrequency ablation is accuracy. We insert the radiofrequency probe in proximity to Baxter's nerve via sonographic guidance but then confirm placement with motor stimulation. One can also perform a third level of verification via sensory stimulation but that is less reliable as it is subjective (we ask the patients if the stimulation re-creates the pain they are experiencing).Reply to this comment »

Headliners, we can't wait to see you for our first two-day Bay Area festival!
Performer List
Nothing proves that "two heads are better than one" quite like DJ collaborations. When two or more world-class artists come together, the combination of unique genres and styles often results in a massive tune. Here are some of our favorite collaborations of the summer.
New World Punx- Romper
To the delight of many long-time fans, Ferry Corsten and Markus Schulz premiered their first single together during A State of Trance 600 in New York. Combining each of their distinctive styles, this power duo created one of the hardest hitting trance anthems of the summer. The single was released in June, and is available on SoundCloud as a free download. Although this is only Schulz and Corsten's first official single as New World Punx, we predict the duo will be producing more exciting tunes in the near future.
Hardwell and W&W- Jumper
If Hardwell and W&W are both known for anything, it's that they definitely know how to make a house rocking festival anthem. Combine their unique energies, and one can only imagine what they will bring to our ears. "Jumper" features an extended intro and buildup followed by a wildly energetic drop that will make any crowd go crazy. Their single has stayed in the Beatport Top 100 for weeks, and we expect to hear this song at many festivals to come. Grab the free download on SoundCloud and check it out for yourself.
Dillon Francis and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs- Without You
Dillon Francis has proven time and time again that diversity is his forte. While Francis is known for his crazy antics, his new single, featuring vocals by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, exposes the more emotional side of his musical spectrum. Francis reveals that the song was written during a time that he was having relationship problems of his own. TEED's soothing vocals combined with the beautiful synths and melody of Dillon Francis's music flawlessly reflect the story of a troubled relationship, creating a tune perfect for summer relaxation.
Steve Aoki, Chris Lake & Tujamo- Boneless
Put three insane artists together, and you will probably come up with one supremely catchy tune. Steven Aoki combines his notoriously ridiculous beats with the mind power of Chris Lake and Tujamo, creating the old-school inspired hit "Boneless." The catchy drop may get stuck in your head for hours…don't say we didn't warn you.
Seven Lions & Myon & Shane 54- Strangers
What happens when you put a talented dubstep and renowned trace artist together? Myon & Shane 54 and Seven Lions have proven that if done right, the result can be something absolutely unforgettable. The artists' new single, which includes beautiful vocals by Tove Lo, melds Seven Lions's smooth and powerful dubstep beats with the euphoric trance synths of Myon and Shane 54. The song has several different drops that keep it unpredictable. "Strangers" is also notable because it sheds light on the creativity that can arise from combining two different and influential genres. Check it out below.

JONATHAN CHERRY: What gets you up in the mornings?
ROB HANN: I usually wake up feeling hungry.
JC: Are there any emerging photographers inspiring you at the moment?
RH: Ummmmm … no I don't think so … I like what Logan White is doing though and Rob Kalmbach did a nice series of parked cars at night so I guess I'll say them.
JC: What is your current project all about?
RH: It's a long-standing, ongoing thing. Whenever I can I get out on the American road, mostly out West and see what I can see.
JC: Has your Mamiya 7 got a name?
RH: Well, I didn't think it had a name but I asked it and it turns out it's called Travis.
JC: What initially drew you to photography?
RH: I like looking at photographs and I thought maybe I could do it too.
JC: Any words of wisdom to recent photography graduates?
RH: Hmmm … well I would say just concentrate on what you love to do and do as much of that as you can. That will give you your best chance of producing some strong work. You may not make a lot of money but you'll feel good about what you're doing. Concentrate on making the best pictures you can and that will bring its own rewards and you might even have some success. Be persistent and have endless patience.
JC: Other thoughts?
RH: Sometimes the failures that you experience can open up a whole new direction that you hadn't considered and lead to wonderful things. Have an adventure and enjoy yourself!

Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez has labelled his side's successful battle against relegation from the Barclays Premier League as an 'incredible achievement'.
The Latics won 1-0 at Blackburn Rovers on Monday night, a victory which ensured their top-flight status for another season – condemning Rovers to the drop in the process.
Martinez steered his side to safety after inspiring them to an astonishing run of late-season form.
"The DW Stadium has to be bouncing on Sunday ready to compete in the best league in the world again next year"
- Roberto Martinez
Wigan were bottom of the table after being held to a 1-1 draw by West Bromwich Albion on March 17th – and their prospects were bleak as they faced arguably the toughest run-in of the League's struggling sides.
But from that point, Martinez masterminded a run of six wins in eight matches – with the Latics claiming some notable scalps along the way.
Their brilliant results including a first-ever win at Anfield, a memorable home success against Manchester United, a superb away victory over an Arsenal side which had won nine of its previous 10 Barclays Premier League matches and a 4-0 thumping of Champions League-chasing Newcastle.
"It's an incredible achievement with one game still to go and a night to remember for everyone connected with Wigan Athletic," Martinez told Wigan's official website.
"We knew how important the game was, but when we saw all our fans in the away end it gave us the warmth we needed."
Martinez said he wanted Sunday's final Barclays Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers to be a celebration.
"We'll look forward to seeing them all [the fans] on Sunday at our DW Stadium," he said.
"It's an occasion the whole football club has to celebrate and we'll make sure that is the case.
"Let's make it a party atmosphere, but at the same time we'll approach the game in the right manner looking for a positive result.
"We've achieved our aim together and we must be proud of that. The DW Stadium has to be bouncing on Sunday ready to compete in the best league in the world once again next year."
"Dave Whelan's an incredible man... he deserves these days"
- Roberto Martinez
Martinez also saluted the work of chairman Dave Whelan after the club's survival.
"It's easy when things are going well to say how good a chairman we have," he said.
"But through the tough times when we were bottom of the table he kept believing in us, stood firm and allowed us all to keep working towards our goal to keep his dream alive.
"He's an incredible man and I'm incredibly proud to work for him, he deserves these days."

Nervy final sees Team GB into Olympics hockey semi-final - click here to read the match round-up.
More from our man at the hockey, Tim Ashton:
"There was a party atmosphere inside the Riverbank Arena at half-time with a 1-0 lead for Team GB.
The goal was a long time in coming but Ashley Jackson popped up to bury a penalty corner in the 31st minute.
The rain is coming down now and the crowd is wet and nervous after Spain got an equaliser and Great Britain are hanging on to a semi-final place by their finger nails.
Only a few minutes remain and the tension is building... and the band, in full flow, has moved around the stadium to annoy some more people.
There's good news and there's bad news...

What has been achieved today is the result of a shared commitment made by 541 athletes, representing 26 sports, to compete as One Team GB, and to do so in a manner that would make our country proud.It is the result of years of sacrifice and struggle, underpinned by the selfless contributions of coaches, teammates, parents, volunteers, administrators and the British public. We congratulate the athletes of Team GB on reaching this remarkable milestone, and offer our thanks to everyone who has supported them in doing so.Team GB Chef de Mission Andy Hunt
Olympics reporter Tim Ashton is at the hockey tonight and it's a crunch match between Team GB and Spain...
"Spotted the legend that is commentator Barry Davies - the man is a hero to anyone growing up loving sport. Who can forget the immortal line from Seoul 1988: 'Where were the Germans? But frankly, who cares?'
"The band normally found following the England football team around the world is here again. It's fine when you're the other side of the stadium from them but I am quite pleased I'm not stood next to them."
Every four years, the world's elite athletes gather in one city and compete to demonstrate their sporting prowess. And every time, we are gripped.

VERMILLION, S.D.(KWSN)—South Dakota linebacker Tyler Starr was named to the first team of the Beyond Sports Network All-America team as announced by the organization Thursday. The 2013 BSN All-America Team was chosen by college sports information directors, college coaches and BSN staff. Starr is one of four linebackers selected to the first team.
Starr, a finalist for the 2013 Buck Buchanan Award and the Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year, finished his career as the nation's active leader in forced fumbles with 13. He was also second in solo tackles for loss with 39 and fourth in total sacks with 27. He earned those achievements in just three years of play.
This season, Starr led the MVFC in sacks (9.0), tackles for loss (15.0) and forced fumbles (4). He finished second on the team in tackles with 71. He also had an interception and was credited with four pass breakups.
Starr had at least six tackles in each of his last eight games. He registered at least two sacks three times. He had a season-high eight tackles, two sacks and three tackles-for-loss in a win against Missouri State and got his first collegiate interception against Western Illinois.
Starr is a native of Little Rock, Iowa. He is majoring in recreation with a minor in coaching.

Associated Press
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Federal officials say they've approved a solar plant in southern Nevada that marks the first large-scale solar energy project on tribal land.
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said Thursday he signed off on a plan with the Moapa Band of Paiute Indians that will launch a 350-megawatt solar plant capable of powering 100,000 homes.
The project is planned on 2,000 acres of the tribe's reservation, located about 30 miles outside Las Vegas. Construction is slated to begin in the fall.
It's the 31st utility-scale renewable energy project that the Department of the Interior has approved on public lands since 2009.
Salazar says there's great potential for renewable energy on tribal lands, and it's important that Indian Country isn't left behind in the Obama administration's energy initiatives.

West Bay Exploration Company of Traverse City, Michigan, applied for a permit to operate a Class II injection well for noncommercial brine disposal. The company wants to dispose of brine deep beneath the earth's surface. EPA calls this a Class II non-hazardous brine disposal well. Class II wells are typically used to inject fluids that result from oil and gas production into the ground. There are about 144,000 Class II wells in the United States. About 20 percent are known to be used for brine disposal.
EPA is withdrawing the final permit issued for the West Bay #22 well. EPA will prepare a new draft permit for this well. EPA is taking this action under 40 CFR 124.19(j) which allows EPA to withdraw a permit and prepare a new draft permit before a certain stage of the permit appeal proceedings.

Theb isn't anything. It means whatever you want it to mean. It can be a verb, a noun, an adjective. It can mean extreme anger, happiness, sadness. It can be an expletive or an excited announcement. You choose depending on the circumstance.
Eh, the movie was theb.
Beküldő: TheMothman 2010. október 13.
Theb is a multipurpose word. It can be used as virtually any part of speech (though the noun form is not very common). Grammatically it is very similar to how "fuck" is used, except theb can also be as a substitution for "reaction" words such as "neat" "cool" or "lol" etc. May also be used as a greeting or exclamation in certain contexts.
What the theb is going on here?
That's pretty theb brah.
Theb! (as in "lol")
Theb it.... (as in "God damn")

Manufacturer's SKU FHF-MMB01 Manufacturer's Warranty Manufacturing defects - practical lifetime of product Brands FHF Gear Feature / Environment Made in USA
- Description
Quickly turn your Molle-Muff into a typical belt mounted hand muff.
This is a quick add belt consisting of 1" webbing, one field repairable buckle, a Slik Clik, and a tri-glide. This belt should not be necessary if you're wearing a pistol or trouser belt, but a few customers have asked for this option. (It does work well if wearing over a parka). Also works great to throw off and on during training.
The "field repairable" buckle and Slik Clik quickly attach to the molle strip on the back of the Molle-Muff and allow you to wear it as you would any other hand muff. They also detach quickly if needed.
Please contact US Elite if your waist size is outside the normal operator range (30" - 38").

text: This just in!After over a decade of being impossible to find (and when found they were fetching collector's prices) Chunklet Industries is scheduled to reissue both of The Olivia Tremor Control's classic two double-album full lengths (Music from the Unrealized Film Script: Dusk At Cubist Castle and Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume One) this October. Lest ye think these are two barebones reissues, nothing could be further from the truth. Original art has been rescanned and retouched. Both albums come housed in sturdy deluxe Stoughton tip-in jackets. And for the first time since its original release, Black Foliage has been remastered from the original tapes!In addition to the vinyl and artwork, the band sifted through their archives to give fans over three hours of rare, hard-to-find or previously unreleased material in a 320kps download card. Drone. Tape loops. Live tracks. And finally, for the first time, all of the rare import b-sides and compilation tracks that came out in the 90's are in one place. The Dusk bonus material features the bonus CD that was included with initial copies of the record when it came out in '96.

(Reuters) - J.C. Penney Co Inc
Johnson, who oversaw the development of Apple Inc's
Johnson's base salary was unchanged at $1.5 million, but he received no bonus or stock award in 2012 because of Penney's results, Penney said in its filing. He was eligible in 2012 for a bonus of $1.875 million.
Last year, his total compensation included a stock award worth $52.7 million to make up for incentives he was giving up by leaving Apple.
Johnson's 2012 compensation included $344,213 for personal use of a corporate jet. Johnson commutes to Penney's Plano, Texas, headquarters every week from his home in California. That amount is similar to the personal use of a corporate jet by Johnson's predecessor Myron Ullman in 2011.
A source told Reuters in April that, after a disastrous first year for Johnson's turnaround, the executive might only have a few more months to carry out his vision of turning Penney stores into emporia offering trendy but low-price items.
If Johnson quits or is fired, he will not get a golden parachute. He would only receive $5,000 and restricted stock worth $106,424 as part of a package worth $148,924 in all, according to a proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In his annual letter to stockholders, Penney Chairman Thomas Engibous limited himself to inviting them to Penney's annual meeting in Plano on May 17, in contrast to a seven-paragraph note last year touting Johnson's turnaround plan.
Penney's board renominated all 11 of its current directors for another one-year term, choosing not to fill a spot vacated by the death in August of longtime board member Burl Osborne.
None of Penney's executive officers got any 2012 cash bonuses. Former Penney President Michael Francis, who left in June after only 9 months with the company, was given a termination fee of $3.6 million.
Penney shares slid 44 percent in 2012 and have fallen 26 percent so far in 2013.
