Gotta love that so many publishers care not for the PC gamer crowd. This is really idiotic considering they spend more on their hardware so they are likely to spend more money on software/games.
With the PC release being later than the console releases you'd figure these issues would have been sorted out beforehand. What a shame.
this is getting sad. Both Skyrim and Arkham city are both messed up when they come out for PC. If they want people to buy the games for PC, they need to actually make them work. IM a PC gamer and im not going out and buy a console just so the games will play correctly. it just really makes me mad.
I hate the control schemas of consoles so I agree I won't get a console just because the games work.
I'm beginning to think that we're entering the era where gaming companies just don't care much for the PC. I mean Id's RAGE has been released with tons of bugs that ruined the gameplay experience, Crysis 2's DX11 even though it took time to be released feel unpolished and well, obviously we can't forget about the recent events.
Let's not forget that most games out there feel like console ports...
I mean the PC is a great platform, there was a point where a huge number of games were made for this system and we even had Counter-Strike on there. In this recent age with DX11 graphics cards and 8 core processors we got broken games like this that don't even work properly on the launch day... We get statements saying that PC development is hard and we even have iD focusing on console games instead of the PC, which is a real, real shame... I mean we have some good games for the PC like Battlefield 3 that didn't get released with any bugs; so why is it that most of the high-profile releases out there contain tons of tons of bugs? That's what I'd like to know.
Unless the people get their act together on the PC, I may find myself gravitating back towards a console.
Well maybe it was delayed by six weeks or so, but it looks like that it was not enough to fix all the bugs for the PC world users. Hope they get their act together so no more stuff ups are seen.
Yeah! I'd have to agree. They had enough time to fix all up, but yet they still came out with this game. Why not have the equivalent of proof readers within this organization.
and no one checked this...why?
Laziness, and trying to push the game out for the release date. Hopefully they get it fixed asap!
Releasing a well anticipated title on time with a few 'minor' bugs that may need a bit of patching is one thing ..but what they are referring to & severely downplaying as performance issues as to not be able to play in DirectX 11 is totally lame. They cannot possibly be that stupid to not notice that and released it any way.The clock is ticking in waiting for the patch necessary....meanwhile there plenty of social-media to get the true spin on how much companies like this actually care about consumers like us.
UN-Acceptable !
would you like the plumber to do a crap job then have to keep coming back to patch it? no you'd get a plumber who knows what he is doing.
This is just a horrible business decision. Seriously if I'm a manager at this company there's no way I'd include directx 11 if it had this problem and release it, are they fucking nuts? Get your *** together, people should get fired over this one.
Just don't include it if its broken.
Hi MMaloney .....sometimes we have a bit more fun getting 'creative' with descriptions at times to express ourselves..
BTW: Welcome to HH
2 words, console port.
le sigh
Is there still no news on the official patch yet? I expect it to be out sometime this week with an announcement on the website today to that effect. However, I keep forgetting that this is a Games for Windows Live title and as such patches have to go through Microsoft for certification first, which often adds weeks to their release. It's one reason why I (and, apparently, other publishers) dislike GfWL so much as this certification means little anyway other than an extended, more annoying wait for us, the paying customers.
Rocksteady released a patch addressing the DX11 issues in Batman Arkham City. Check it out http://community.batmanarkhamcity.com/forums/showthread.php/11700-Latest-PC-Update-Today-s-Patch-details?sf2693378=1
It looks like people are still having issues with it though, going by the comments being posted
Well... At least they're trying. But that patch had so many people's hopes up and they let them down, why can't these guys get it together for the PC?
I think the dx11 integration may just end up as a failed experiment in this game.

Booker T/Monday Night Mayhem Interview (MP3 Streaming Audio): www.wrestleviewradio.com/WVIP_Preview/mnm120312.mp3
Interview highlights courtesy of WWEDVDNews.com's Aaron Carnevale, MNM's official contributor:
The reason for him creating his first-ever "All-Star Clinic" and what the experience is going to be like for those who take part in it this Friday in Houston: "It's going to be a seven-hour clinic that is going to provide three different perspectives from guys (MVP & Devon) who have actually been there. A lot of times these young guys who try to get into the business go to independent shows for independent promoters. They finish working their match, and the promoter can't tell them if they did good or bad, because he doesn't know. So we're trying to give a 'carpentry perspective' to the business again as far as teaching the guys the insight to what we do."
Why he has his eyes on the Intercontinental Championship Match between Wade Barrett vs. Kofi Kingstonat WWE's TLC: Tables, Ladders, & Chairs Pay-Per-View: "You know, I got to give Kofi Kingston a lot of credit. He hasn't been one of the guys I had on my radar, but he has actually come into his own. Now with this situation with Wade Barrett, he is going to have a chance to really go out there and show how good he really is. That is what this thing is about."
The one match he would personally like to see take place at WrestleMania XXIX next April and why fans would get their "money's worth" if it happens: "The match I would want to see at WrestleMania this year would be two bulls locking horns. It would be something great for the fans, and it would be an extravaganza. It would be Ryback vs. Brock Lesnar. That would be the match for me, just because Ryback is mowing through the competition. Brock Lesnar has been a guy who has went by his 'Modus Operandi' pretty much the same way, just running through guys. To see those guys meet head-to-head at WrestleMania would be a WrestleMania where people would get their money's worth."

So why was this drive important to look at? Because it is exactly how the Jets must perform in order to beat the Saints this weekend.
Even success on the ground is fine. As good as the Jets are at run defense, it will not spell a failure if the Saints gain yardage on the ground. Why? Because the Saints aren't beating you on the ground. If they are going to win the game, they are going to do it through the air. Make them beat you on the ground.
Secondly, they collapsed the pocket on Drew Brees from the middle. It only took a four man rush, and they were able to get in Drew's face. That affects every quarterback negatively, and Drew Brees is no different. The Bills took him down, and the Jets have the ability to take him down in this manner as well.
Finally, they covered his guys down the field. You can't take Drew Brees away, so you make him feel uncomfortable. Besides getting in his face, you make him uncomfortable by taking away his weapons. I would like to see more press coverage than Pettine used here, but the idea is good. If Brees' only option on a lot of plays is Sproles in the flat, it will be a strong indication that the Jets are on the road to success on the day.
The Jets can win this football game on Sunday, and Rex could do worse than taking the lead from his old assistant, Mike Pettine. Hopefully he will.

Can China really become a super power, or will it remain a great power among other great powers?
We have read numerous articles and statistics that indicate the rising power that is China. As an emerging economy among the BRICs, China is seen as a leader in the pack and with the number two economy, well placed to replace the US as a world hegemon.
I however wonder how much of a super power if any China can be? John Inkberry has written about the western liberal order and how it has penetrated every inch of our societies and culture. As a result many have found themselves having to preserve their cultures because the western liberal culture is very strong. Inkberry argues that China will have to find it`s influence within this set up, because it will be very hard to alter it (the western liberal order).
Is this the case? Can China become a super power in the current global order or will it have to dispose of it and come up with a different type of order or will it simply become part of the order and influence global events among other powers?
What does the future of China look like in the present western liberal order?

Aug 16 2012: China, Super Power or not, has a daunting task ahead of itself. Its population, manufacturing capacity, investment opportunities, and Olympic Gold Medals all show that it has what it takes to become a global super power. However, the role the government plays is crucial in it's path to maintain its current level of global power. The Chinese Communist Party continues to lash out against anti-government sentiments, cover up political and business scandals in order to "keep and promote social harmony" within the People's Republic.
The world continues to globalize and social media and technology are closing the gap between the world and China. If the government believes that it can adapt to changing social conditions than China might have a chance at becoming an even greater super power. Some politicians believe that expelling any negative notions toward the Chinese nation threatens the credibility of the government and will likely lead to an uprising.
Thus the two paths, the rise or fall of China depends on how the government can adapt to the rapidly changing global environment while still maintaining harmony throughout the kingdom.

For everyone.
Renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, blows the lid off a topic that's been buried in medical literature for far too long: carbs are destroying your brain. And not just unhealthy carbs, but even so-called healthy carbs like whole grains, which can increase your risk for dementia, ADHD, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, and more.
This workshop explores
- What happens when the brain encounters common ingredients in your daily bread and fruit bowls
- Why your brain thrives on fat and cholesterol
- How you can spur the growth of new brain cells at any age
- How to pave the way to better brain health and function.
Offering an in-depth look at how we can take control of our "smart genes" through specific dietary choices and lifestyle habits, David demonstrates how to remedy our most feared maladies, without drugs. Leize Perlmutter guides imagery techniques designed to re-contextualize your relationship with food. Dee Harris offers strategies for empowering your nutrition as well as personalized low-carb, gluten-free, and "good fat" meal plans to help you pave the way to brain health.

Cornhole enthusiasts, children, parents, and anyone looking for an afternoon of fall fun and festivities are invited to the Morris County Park Police PBA 264's first annual...
Hackettstown, New Jersey will be a cornucopia of holiday-themed performances and activities, highlighted by the Centenary Stage Company's rousing production of A Christmas Carol - The Musical and the NJ Civic Youth Ballet's performance of The Nutcracker. Also featured in December will be the acclaimed CSC's Young Performers Workshop Winter Festival of Shows, a musical theatre extravaganza which this season includes Narnia- The Musical, Meet Me in St. Louis and Count to Ten.
Performances will occur in the Sitnik Theatre and Little Theatre on the campus of Centenary College in Hackettstown, throughout the month of December.
"A tonic for children and adults…an intoxicating journey," declares the New York Times about the musical extravaganza A Christmas Carol that ran in Radio City for ten years.
Directed by Broadway and Film veteran Michael Blevins, the CSC production of A Christmas Carol celebrates everything theatrical in the Centenary community, including professional Equity actors, Centenary College Theatre Dept students, members of the CSC Young Performers and local performers. A Christmas Carol will run November 25th through December 11th in the 500-seat Sitnik Theatre in David and Carol Lackland Center.
Also during the run of A Christmas Carol, Centenary College will invite the public to join them for the "Tis the Season" celebration, on Sunday, December 4th, with the arrival of St. Nicholas in a horse-drawn wagon (3:00 pm) , photos and refreshments with St Nicholas in the Seay Administrative building on Jefferson Street, caroling, and Grand Illumination at 6:00 pm.
The Young Performer's Workshop Winter Festival of Shows returns with 94 local young thespians, ages 8-18.
Meet Me in St. Louis, made famous by Judy Garland, features the beloved classic, "The Trolley Song".
Count to Ten is an original musical by YPW Director, Michael Blevins, and it was an official selection of the 2009 New York Musical Theatre Festival with its show-stopping tap numbers.
Narnia- the Musical is a musical adaptation of the beloved children's book, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis.
The Winter Festival of Shows runs December 10th through the 18th in the Centenary Little Theatre on Jefferson Street.
The NJ Civic Youth Ballet returns to the Lackland Center to present its seasonal classic, The Nutcracker. This Christmas classic is told from the perspective of 12 year-old Clara Stahlbaum, who narrates the magical tale. The NJ Civic Youth Ballet has delighted audiences for over 10 years, and features guest artists from the Suzanne Farrell Ballet of Washington, D.C. The Nutcracker features a cast of 60 talented dancers from Morris, Sussex and Warren Counties, and will run December 16th through the 18th in the Sitnik Theatre in the David and Carol Lackland Center.
Tickets for any Centenary Stage Company performance may be purchased online at www.centenarystageco.org or by calling the Box Office at 908-979-0900.

Streets Of Fire Lyrics
When the night's quiet and you don't care anymore,
And your eyes are tired and there's someone at your door
And you realize you wanna let go
And the weak lies and the cold walls you embrace
Eat at your insides and leave you face to face with
Streets of fire
I'm wandering, a loser down these tracks
I'm dying, but girl I can't go back
'Cause in the darkness I hear somebody call my name
And when you realize how they tricked you this time
And it's all lies but I'm strung out on the wire
In these streets of fire
I live now, only with strangers
I talk to only strangers
I walk with angels that have no place
And don't look in my face
Don't.... ???
'Cause I'm strung out on the wire
Cross Streets of fire
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bruce_springsteen/streets_of_fire.html

Kind of Grace: A Style Guide
Anagrams is a 1986 novel by one Lorrie Moore, the FridayNightLights-loving perfect-sentence machine who...
Lately, because of the book, people have been asking me what I know about life and death and also about helping people you love. I don't know anything more than you do, unless you are a professional caregiver or social worker or therapist or spiritual leader or all-knowing being hovering in the sky (or wherever all-knowing beings hover), in which case you probably know vastly more than I do. What I believe (but do not necessarily know for sure) is you can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves. You can beg and plead, you can cajole and flirt, you can manipulate, you can guilt - and you should definitely try all those things - but in the end, if someone is dead set on destruction, you should probably just get out of their way.
I was thinking this morning about how all of the best conversations I've had lately with men have been with married men because we don't stress each other, and we can just relax and just be. None of us are worried about anything except making each other laugh. It has been very soothing to enjoy male energy in an uncomplicated way.
Except for the one conversation I had with the extremely drunk married man who within ten minutes of conversation had his hand on my knee. I pointed out the wedding ring on his hand immediately, and he retreated his hand and left the party right away, but later it occurred to me that I should have been more upset about how quickly he groped me. Oh well, it's all insulting, right? Two days later I ran into him in the security line at the airport and he mouthed "Sorry" to me. Sorry, you guys. Sorry. He was sorry. You can say sorry to me as long as you say it to your wife, too.
The rest of the married men have been gems, though. I'd wear them on a ring, or like studs in my ears, and carry their delightful banter with me wherever I go.

Prices of offset credits such as certified emission reductions (CERs) and emission reduction units (ERUs) crashed in 2012, and were even relatively weaker than the low EU allowance (EUA) prices. The most important developments for the offset market this year included:
CERs crash
The CERs benchmark contract shed 87% of its value, during the course of the year, ICIS data shows.
Between the start of December 2011, when the December 2012 contract became the benchmark, and the end of November 2012, when it expired, the contract went from closing at €5.25/tonne of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) to €0.70/tCO2e.
At its highest, the contract closed at €5.30/tCO2e on 20 December 2011, but fell as low as €0.70/tCO2e on a number of occasions in November 2012.
The average closing value for the contract over the 12-month period was €3.19/tCO2e, the data show, which is 69% lower than the 2011 benchmark average of €10.34/tCO2e.
The 2012 average is also the lowest of all the phase II (2008-2012) years, which stood at: €12.46/tCO2e (2010); €11.91/tCO2e (2009); and €17.60/tCO2e (2008), according to ICIS data.
ERUs crash
Similarly, the ERUs benchmark contract shed €4.75/tCO2e of its value, or 92%, over the course of the year, ICIS data shows.
Between the start of December 2011, when the December 2012 contract became the benchmark, and the end of November 2012, when it expired, the contract went from closing at €5.15/tCO2e to €0.40/tCO2e.
At its highest, the contract closed at €5.25/tCO2e on 9 and 20 December 2011, but consistently fell below €1 as of 19 October 2012.
The average closing value for the contract was €3.02/tCO2e, the data show, which is 68% lower than the 2011 benchmark average of €9.42/tCO2e.
Quality restrictions
Experts have called on the EU to ban large-scale power projects from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to cut the existing oversupply of offset credits, which was built up over the course of phase II of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), and restore the mechanism's environmental integrity.
The EU has previously suggested it could curb the oversupply through further restrictions on CERs, even if the UN does not introduce additional quality restrictions, after an EU-commissioned report criticised large hydro projects for failing to cut emissions beyond a "business as usual" scenario. The EU already places certain conditions on CERs from hydro projects with a capacity above 20MW.
Under the emissions trading linking directive, states are obliged to check that the projects meet criteria that were set out in the 2009 World Commission report on dams before they approve the imports of these credits into the EU ETS.
An EU-wide ban could instead make it impossible to use certain CERs for compliance, no matter whether a state had allowed the import.
This was the last year for CERs from CDM projects registered in countries such as China to be eligible for use in the ETS.
The EU has introduced quality restrictions on CERs for phase III of the ETS, meaning only credits from CDM projects registered before 2013, or located in least-developed countries (LDCs) when registered after 2012, can be used as offsets in the ETS.
Negotiations during the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Doha, Qatar, in November 2012 delivered only marginal progress.
Most importantly, the EU affirmed its commitment to participate in a second Kyoto period, running from 2013 to 2020, parallel to phase III of the ETS, but noted that the parties that have signed up account for only 14% of global emissions.
The parties also committed to an extended year-long work programme on long-term finance, which will try to identify $100bn (€75bn) in climate aid already pledged by developed countries to developing ones, over the course of phase III.
And countries agreed to meet under UN auspices in Poland at the end of 2013 to discuss setting up international mechanisms to address the cost of climate change to developing countries.
In addition a 2013 work plan and actions to potentially increase the ambition of 2020 reduction targets is to be adopted.
Global market
Australia and the EU have agreed to link their carbon markets in phase III of the EU ETS. They are the world's largest carbon markets.
Australia is expected to allow a maximum of 50% international offsets as of 2015 and to introduce quality restrictions on credits similar to those imposed by the EU, but not limit them to being sourced from LDCs. This would provide a market for CERs from, for instance, India and China, where the majority of CDM projects are based.
New Zealand is expected to allow an unlimited number of international offsets, but introduce similar restrictions on them as Australia.
ERU rules change
The European Commission has proposed new rules on ERUs that say to avoid "double counting" of ERUs member states that participate in the ETS in phase II "directly or indirectly" cannot issue credits later than 31 December 2012; member states "directly or indirectly" excluded from the ETS in phase II, but covered by it in phase III, may only issue ERUs up to 30 April 2013; ERUs from projects cutting emissions before 31 December 2012 that are located in countries that do not have legally binding emissions targets in phase III (2013-2020), such as countries that have not signed up to a second Kyoto commitment period, can be held in the EU's common registry until 30 April 2013 if verified according to the joint implementation track two procedures.

APN Endorsements: No on MOST, No on Primary Choices
- 3-6-2012
(APN) ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Progressive News Board of Directors has made the following endorsements in today's March 06, 2012, election:
Sales tax is one of the most regressive types of taxes, meaning that it is disproportionately paid by working people. To be sure, Atlanta is becoming more and more of a difficult place for working people to live in, but that's exactly the problem. At eight cents already--and with a possibility of going up to nine if the T-SPLOST is unfortunately passed in July 2012--we will have a very high sales tax rate, in comparison to other counties in Georgia and other states in the nation, with the exception of so-called "fair tax" states. And yet, we're approaching fair tax levels, but still have income tax on top of it. We have to stop relying on working families in Atlanta to pick up the burden of everything our city wants or needs to do but cannot afford. While the MOST is supposed to be picked up in part by non-Atlantans who visit Atlanta every day, that will mostly affect their lunch purchases as opposed to the majority of their spending. On the other hand, working families in Atlanta will have to pay the extra tax on most of their purchases because they live here.
As reported in APN, the City failed to meet its work deadlines on the First Amended Consent Decree for water and sewer systems on time, and it wishes to avoid a debate or public discussion around those failures. To the extent that they are seeking an extension until 2029, that means they may seek MOST renewals through 2029. The idea that this is going to prevent a rate increase, we believe the rate increases are coming in a few years anyway. Moreover, the City failed to adequately raise the revenue it needed over time since 1999 when it entered the FACD, and, as usual, is asking working families to disproportionately pick up the tab through a crisis that the City, in fact, constructed, perhaps on purpose.
The City should have raised part of this money through higher developer impact fees. Basically, we the taxpayers are having to pick up for the city infrastructure's inability to support the new growth in the last forty or so years. However, developers have not been asked to pay their fair share for this new development. Other cities around the country do charge higher impact fees, but the Council has shown little or no interest in doing so, in a town that prefers to take from working families, and to give everything to developers for free.
With President Barack Obama serving as the only option on the Democratic Primary ballot, we see no reason to make an endorsement. While Obama is better than any of the Republican options by far, he has been a disappointment on many issues, including his support for the National Defense Authorization Act--which includes provisions allowing the US government to detain US citizens indefinitely without a hearing--and his proposed cuts to the Low Income Heating Assistance Program and the Community Service Block Grant Program. Declining to vote for Obama in the Primary will not make it any less likely he will win the Primary--seeing as how he is assured to do so--but it will send a message of not being thrilled.

I know APN opposes HR 1162. The Reblicans are up to their old tricks of pushing by stealth measures to do away with public schools, here by pushing for a huge increase in taxpayer funded charter schools not answerable to the taxpayers or voters. AFT/Gft is vigorously opposing a measure supported by many radical right- wing wacko billionaires like the Koch Brothers (Americans for Prosperity) and Dick and Betsy Devos American Federation for Children), not to mention the biggest looney-wacko right winger of them all Atlanta's (now Florida's) Neal Boortz. How many times a day does Neal denigrate "government schools? These loonies want to do away with public schools once and for all. They want them privatized, mesaning turned over to private companies for private profit. This is happening all over the country in many states like Wisconsin, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. What is APN's take on this?
I share your general critique of the sales tax as highly regressive, but I think your commentary should've gone a little deeper into the reasons money needs to be amassed to pay for water and sewer infrastructure. When Maynard Jackson became the city's first African- American mayor in 1974, he proposed a number of bond initiatives to improve various long-neglected items. The bond referendum on libraries succeeded, and we have the once-new library downtown on Carnegie Way, among other things, as a result. The other initiatives, including one on water&sewer were voted down, primarily because Buckhead voters raised a stink, with highly noxious racist overtones ("How dare that nigger take our hard-earned tax money!"), about the "expense." Now of course, almost 40 years later, it's gonna cost a whole lot more. All Atlantans are now paying a price for that bit of classicly stupid white supremacy.
Steve, you seem to have selective memory with a few lapses. You also seem to be a bit of a racist.
There have been 6 mayors and 38 years since Maynard Jackson's first of three terms, beginning in 1974. There have been multiple opportunities to fix the sewer problems, but Maynard and his successors ignored the problem and shoved it under the rug. Only a Federal Court ruling finally forced Shirley Franklin and the City to begin the task (in which they are woefully behind in schedule and over in budget).
Compounding the cost to the City taxpayers are the magnitude of the task and the additional costs the City's affirmative action contracting requirements. The task could have been accomplished in steps over a period of years, and at much lower cost.

In a side-by-side comparison, the Monster Mini garnered far more looks than our pale yellow stocker-no big surprise there. The MM treatment looks factory-correct and respects the car's lines while giving it a singular appearance. The MM car looks mean and has a rippin' sound to boot-the intake and exhaust mods do a good job of uncorking the little engine. The Monster Mini gains sufficient torque to pull away from a stock vehicle, even with those heavy, heavy wheels. Still, with barely 100 hp on tap and some 2,700 lb to lug around, the Monster Mini feels like it's towing something. And that's a shame, because MM did a great job with the base material. The interior is gorgeous, the suspension rock solid. Gimme the same deal but with a set of 15-in. ultra-light running gear and some proper tires-those FZ4s are great in the rain and snow but lack dry grip.
The H&R suspension is great, the perfect blend of firmness without being harsh. Moreover, the MM was not so low as to cause worry to the aerodynamic pieces. There's nothing quite as bad as a good-looking car with scuffed "underwear" or bent wheels.
There's a sensation of connectedness behind the steering wheel, a real sporty feel that will no doubt send Mini owners into thralls of ecstasy.
Monster Mini is currently working on a Copper S, the model it wanted in the first place. "I think the S will truly rock," said Reich.
Stay tuned for Monster Mini's take on the more powerful sibling.

The Three Deadliest Words
Posted on | January 18, 2012 by Wendy Wright |
"It's a Girl: The Three Deadliest Words in the World" is a documentary on the 200 million missing girls. Aborted, killed after birth or abandoned because they are girls.
Deeply-rooted prejudice against girls and ill-conceived government policies against human beings produce this mass slaughter.
I haven't seen the film, but it's sure to open eyes. Hopefully, it will show that the underlying problem with deadly cultural and government policies alike is a disdain for human dignity. No solution will be effective if it does not address that enduring bias that treats whole classes of humans as less than human.
Some feminists have engaged on this issue of gendercide. But they undercut their case to prohibit discrimination against girls when they endorse abortion. The same kind of prejudice drives both gendercide and abortion.
The film is set to be released in 2012.

COPD in the Sleep Lab
We had a COPD patient in the lab this week. This is not an unusual occurrence, but it was an exclamation point for me, given that CMS adds COPD to the list of targeted and tracked diseases this October. I thought our patient was a prime example of why COPD is so difficult to treat and why it made the list. Upon arrival to the lab all was well, ...

Our job is to work with people with multiple disorders and to help educate them about the need for sleep and how sleep apnea affects the body. But are we really only teaching about apnea? I would tend to say no. Our audience in the lab may be limited but I have learned when teaching about sleep that hygiene, parasomnias and ...

Sleep Apnea Patient Care Needs Improvement
I am concerned and frustrated this week. I keep hoping to find that magical sweet spot between DME's and patients. Our city has about 10 different DME companies and as you might expect, service can vary greatly. It can be a challenge to understand exactly what takes place at the DME. I know the patient is given RX for therapy and usually a copy ...

Why CPAP Therapy is Failing
There is a huge failure rate for CPAP therapy; some would even say it is as high as 50 percent. That number is being used by insurance companies, home sleep testing companies, and people who do not believe in sleep apnea to prove that we are testing too many people and spending too much money. But we're not. The failure rate results from our ...

8. The Wall of 100 Faces
The Wall of 100 Faces is a web page showcasing 100 short videos, usually 1 minute or less, of current students talking about some aspect of their time at Oxford. There is no overarching editorial stance on the subjects spoken about. The point is to give prospective students, staff, media or interested visitors a glimpse of what an "average Oxford student" is like. The Student Web Media team has been working in OUCS over the last year to film and edit around 8 of these videos. www.ox.ac.uk/videowall

Nuclear medicine is a part of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose or treat a variety of diseases, including many types of cancers, heart disease and certain other abnormalities within the body.
In rare cases where certain types of cancer do not respond to chemotherapy alone, physicians may use a combination of chemotherapy and internal radiation therapy. The delivery of the chemical and radioactive agents to the tumor is guided by nuclear medicine imaging.
The patient is injected with a low dose of radioactive material that has been chemically tagged to collect in a particular organ. A special camera that detects gamma rays provides images to confirm that the radioactive material is going to the target site. Then a higher energy radioactive material combined with a powerful chemotherapy drug is injected to attack the cancer.
To schedule an appointment call (866) 415-2778 toll free. Please review the patient information on the procedure you are scheduled to have before your appointment:

Shane Victorino Explains Crucial Eighth-Inning Decision, Says He Had No Intention of Letting Fly Ball Drop
Found August 21, 2013 on NESN.com:
PLAYERS: Shane Victorino, Junichi Tazawa, Marco Scutaro, Brandon Belt, Buster Posey, Hunter Pence
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants
Shane Victorino had a decision to make in the eighth inning of Tuesday's game. A lot went on in his head in a short amount of time. Junichi Tazawa entered in the eighth with the Red Sox leading 2-1, and he yielded back-to-back singles to Marco Scutaro and Brandon Belt to set up runners at the corners with one out. Buster Posey then lifted a fly ball in foul territory down the right field line that resulted in a game-tying sacrifice fly. Victorino didn't have much of a chance to throw out Scutaro at the plate, so it opened up a debate as to whether or not Victorino should have let the ball drop foul instead of making the catch. Given that everything happened so fast, it'd be understandable if Victorino was simply acting as he normally would on a fly ball in his direction. The Flyin' Hawaiian understood all of the variables involved, though, and his decision to catch the ball was a calculated one. "When I ran over to catch the ball, I knew the situation and I thought about it, before ...

PLAYERS: Mike Napoli, Jim Bowden
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Washington Nationals
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Washington Nationals
The Boston Red Sox still haven't finalized their agreement with first baseman/designated hitter Mike Napoli, as general manager Ben Cherington told Jim Bowden of ESPN that the slugger "is still a free agent." Ben Cherington "We are still looking to add offense to 1B. Mike Napoli is still a free agent" — JIM BOWDEN (@JimBowdenESPNxm) January 9, 2013 The Red Sox continue to pursue players that could fill their void at first base, something they hoped to have accomplished when an agreement with Napoli was announced earlier last month. But the findings of his physical alarmed the Red Sox, and Napoli's contract has not yet been finalized. Cherington told Bowden that there is "simply no deal" with Napoli at this point. He continues to hold out hope that a contract will be signed and that the sides can work through the issues to get it done. Boston will certainly need to figure this out sooner than later, as the spring is quickly approaching and alternative options are dwindling just as fast. Adam LaRoche, the only other impact bat at first base on the free agent market, re-signed with the Washington Nationals recently. The Red Sox also traded Jerry Sands, a possible alternative, to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Joel Hanrahan deal.

It was the neighborhood's location on the cusp of Whitehall as much as the charming property that sold Melissa Soderberg on the 1953, 2-story home she moved into with her family last summer.
"This is a house that really appealed to us for all sorts of reasons," says the newest—and first female—head of school for Columbus Academy. "The community is incredibly warm."
The 4,300-square-foot brick home with a circular drive sits on a deep-set, 2.5-acre lot about one mile southeast of Hamilton Road and East Broad Street. Soderberg prefers to embrace urban living and renewal rather than seclude herself.
"We're in a city that's changing around us," she says. "That appeals. It's a gracious area, but it's so close to an urban area, too."
She also likes living near several Columbus Academy families—both past and present. "There is an incredible number of Columbus Academy alum that live in these houses," she says. "There's a whole history of the school in this area."
History has always played a role in the lives of the Soderbergs—from the professions they've chosen to the homes they've purchased.
"We like living in houses that are very much representative of the era in which they were built," says Soderberg, who moved to Columbus from Minnesota with her husband, John, and two sons last June. "I've taught history most of my career, and John is an archeologist, so both of us like places that represent their time."
Soderberg's previous home, for example, was built in 1969 and truly embraced the free-spirited, psychedelic period.
"It was as if no one had touched it since then," she says. "It had sprawling spaces, wall-to-wall shag carpet almost everywhere, three wet bars, a tiki lounge, a sauna, a dance floor in the basement, a lava-rock wall in the family room, lots of orange tile, gold door handles.
"It also had a lot of fireplaces—we love fireplaces—and a huge deck on an elevation that looked out, treehouse level, into the woods," she adds.
The family's current home has two fireplaces and also backs to a tree-lined yard, but it overlooks the 16th green of the Columbus Country Club golf course.
"Having a golf course in your backyard is kind of like having an ocean," she says. "It's a view, things change about it, there are people using it and you can watch them from a distance. John says it's like looking out at an aquarium. Things go by."
It also gives their home a retreat-like feel.
"We just love looking out our windows and not seeing another house," she says. "There's something great and relaxing about that."
NIFTY '50s
Although Soderberg says she doesn't have a dream home style, she appreciates the classic 1950s-style finishes throughout her house.
There are beadboard wall coverings and built-in bookshelves in the family room. There's a pass-through window from the kitchen to the eating area.
"We really love the built-in stuff that's very time period, the French doors, the windows," she says. "The stairs are just so graceful and beautiful. The marble windowsills are so elegant."
Then there's the enormous "walk-in" fireplace in the family room, where a polished, herringbone-patterned, brick-look floor creates a warm, casual look.
"The family room is where we spend our time," Soderberg says. "It feels a little to me like it fits its era. It has leather couches. We have a Claire Murray rug on the wall that we were given for our wedding."
The Florida room is another favorite spot for Soderberg, who likes to write for work while relaxing on the padded bamboo furniture with a wall of windows as her backdrop.
"There are so many things around the house that have really charmed me," she says. "I just love it here."
While the architecture of the Soderbergs' home may exude 1950s style, not all the decor follows suit. "We have eclectic taste. We have a lot of things that our families have given to us," she says. "So we're more likely to keep those and just have them in the house, even though they don't fit, than to sort of remanufacture everything to fit the right time period. It's more about having our things around us. Everything has a story."
A Zairian tribal mask hanging on the wall directly inside the front door, for example, was a gift from Soderberg's sister-in-law—a former United Nations ambassador—as was an extraordinarily detailed Balinese shadow puppet residing in the living room.
"She's traveled everywhere," Soderberg says.
The foyer also includes a Swedish-style clock that was handcrafted by John's father and given to the couple as a wedding gift. It's been in the front hall of every place they've lived, Soderberg says.
Two other items near and dear to Soderberg's heart are a first edition of "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville, presented to her by a college professor, and a small, unadorned Simon Pearce glass pitcher.
"I just love the simplicity of it," she says of the Revere-style vessel.
But her most treasured possession of all is a nautical-themed, wooden whirligig perched on a rustic trunk in the Florida room.
"We were at a folk art fair in Nantucket while visiting John's family, and we spotted this, but it was nothing we could afford at the time," she explains. "John's parents gave it to us as a gift for Christmas. That really meant a lot to me.
"I believe your house is part of your narrative," she adds. "We keep these things around even though they don't match. Those are just the things our family loves."
Soderberg, who grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, had the typical young girl dream: "I wanted to own a horse," she says.
She did some barrel racing in her youth, but her love of horses never subsided. In fact, one yet-unfulfilled item on her bucket list is to take her family to a dude ranch.
"Most of our vacation time is spent visiting family," she says. "They live in lovely places, but I'd love for my family to take a spring break trip to Arizona and stay in a cabin at a real family-style ranch."
Until that time comes, she finds satisfaction in knowing she recently fulfilled one of her bucket-list items by making the career move that brought her to Columbus.
"Becoming a head of school is a huge piece of what I wanted to do in my life," she says. The former All-American field hockey player was also pleased to get back on the pitch this past fall when she occasionally joined the academy team for field hockey practice.
"For 20 years, I was not around field hockey," she says, noting she also coached field hockey along with tennis, sailing and basketball at different points in her career. "I loved it. It was a real identity for me."
Today, her free time is more often spent taking walks, playing tennis, working in the yard, cooking—John says she makes a fabulous homemade pizza crust—or dribbling a basketball.
"I go outside a lot and shoot baskets," she says, noting there's a hoop by the garage. "Sometimes my boys will play, but I'll go do it by myself."
Soderberg wants to get more involved in the Central Ohio community as her time permits, although exactly what form that will take is still up in the air.
Prior to her move, she chaired a nonprofit board for a college access program in Minnesota. She also has a passion for regenerating downtown spaces.
"I don't want to come and just live in an enclave," Soderberg says. "I want to really be part of the community."

Re: WWE: A Strong Response
Huge Royal Rumble News!
Earlier today we learned of plans coming out of the Survivor Series and moving forward, including a massive spoiler for the Royal Rumble in two months.
The company are planning to celebrate the year of the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania, not just the event itself, starting with the Rumble.
Rumble Plans
For the first time ever, one of the world titles will be defended in the Royal Rumble match and the winner will go on to the WrestleMania main event to defend the title. Right now it's not been decided which title will be on the line but both brands will be represented in the match, meaning a superstar from the opposing roster could take possession of their rival brand's title.
Plans have been touted for both world champions and a decision will be made very soon as to which option creative will go with.
We've also learned that at WrestleMania there will be a triple main event including both world title matches and an absolute 'blockbuster'. The word is that both Shawn Michaels & The Undertaker will be part of those matches and both are strongly considering retiring after the event. John Cena, Triple H & CM Punk will also be part of the major plans, and a triple threat match for the WWE Championship between The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels & Triple H was also discussed but it appears that plan has been dropped, although it is still considered an option.
The Hall of Fame will induct eight new members and they will be announced in the build up, after the Royal Rumble. We understand that one of the men being considered for a Hall of Fame spot will be part of the WrestleMania card but probably not as an active competitor.
On a separate point, following Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley's appearance at the Survivor Series in a segment with CM Punk, we've heard that she will be appearing on Smackdown for at least until the end of the year in what will be a big storyline with the World Heavyweight Champion.
I wanted to post this today after reading that maybe a major twist in the Rumble match. I've had this planned for months and will be sick if the Punk/Ziggler match ends in a screw-job and the title is on the line in the Rumble. My storylines heading in to WrestleMania revolve around the outcome of the Rumble and I don't want to change those plans, plus I wanted to do something big.
Also, just a quick note to say I'll be posting all shows up to and including Night of Champions in recap form as I want to pick up the pace and get to 2009. Progress has been really slow this year for numerous reasons. Raw's written and Smackdown is almost done. Raw will be up in the next week.

This is probably the longest post I will ever type, but I need to get it all out else I will go insane.
Where should I start? Our friendship, right now it feels like we're playing a broken record and all that we're living in are beautiful memories of the past, when things weren't so complicated, when we weren't so complicated. And yet (though you couldn't remember) we weren't all that close either. Just as we do today because both of us are so headstrong. We believe in different principles and insist on them, and even though either one finally gives in, I always feel dissent bubbling under the surface, like a tipping point that we always come so close to breaching.
Since we were 13, I could already feel us drifting apart, two sides of a tectonic plate moving in opposite directions. Gradually, irreversible, unstoppable. I don't even know honestly if I've tried to save it because, yes, I've been such a bitchy person sometimes, and my faults are numerous. What else could I have done? What ought I not have done? Sometimes when I felt like I tried to save it, you made me feel like a fool, for fighting for a person not worth my fight.
Recently all I can think of is how self-destructive this friendship is. We're eating away at every last bit of string attaching us together because we're just grown so different that nothing can change us to suit the other. On the surface, we're the same, and yet our way of life is so distinctly, immeasurably different. I really hate some of your actions but for the sake of us, I always bite down what I want to say.
Have you ever noticed how we've never really fought openly? Or maybe it's because we've never really patched up. I wish we had this major fight/cold-shoulder treatment/ bitchy business so that we could see how stupid we were and then hug and make up. Then end of story. But no, each little argument just carries itself forward and adds up till at the end of the day both of us are unhappy. And it just gets deeper, like picking on a scar such that it never heals.
This is a roller coaster ride. Happy times with you are ecstasy, and really, there were moments when I felt that I was the luckiest girl in the world to have such a wonderful friend. But bad times plunge me into the abysses of emotional turmoil and overwhelm all the good memories. I've thought about the kind of person I would have been, the kind of life I would lead, if I had not met you. More often than not I conclude I wouldn't be missing out on anything.
I'm just tired. I need to get a break away from you, and all the shit between us. But for some reason, I know that I'll just come back to what I've left behind. Like going home.
Oh I do love the Swedish brand's clothes so much.
I'm really loving the illustrations that accompany the clothes.
