May 11, 2011 -- Bedbugs removed from people seeking care at a Vancouver hospital were carrying drug-resistant MRSA or VRE bacteria, Canadian doctors report.
The patients were residents of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, an area with high rates of homelessness, HIV/AIDS, and injection drug use.
Because such patients are often infested with bedbugs -- and often show up at the hospital with community-acquired MRSA and VRE skin and soft tissue infections -- Marc G. Romney, MD, wondered whether the bugs might be carrying these drug-resistant germs.
"We decided to crush up the bedbugs and culture them," Romney, a physician at Vancouver's St. Paul's Hospital, tells WebMD. "Surprisingly, we cultured drug-resistant bacteria from all five bedbugs we tested, including MRSA from three and VRE from two."
Superbugs From Bedbugs
The bedbugs were found on three patients. Two patients had one bedbug each that tested positive for VRE (vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium), an increasingly common cause of extremely difficult-to-treat infections.
A third patient was carrying three bedbugs that tested positive for MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) -- often called a superbug. MRSA, too, is an extremely drug-resistant bug that can cause lethal infections.
Bedbugs have been blamed for all kinds of diseases, ranging from leprosy to hepatitis B. They've never been shown to be responsible for any kind of infection. Romney is quick to point out that his very preliminary study does not mean bedbugs spread superbugs.
"This does not mean bedbugs transmit resistant bacteria, but it suggests they can carry resistant organisms in or on their bodies," he says.
That's an important point, says bedbug expert Jerome Goddard, PhD, associate professor of entomology at Mississippi State University.
"Mechanical transmission of disease agents by bedbugs or other insects isn't unusual," Goddard tells WebMD in an email exchange. "This involves merely transporting the germs on their body parts or proboscis."
Biological transmission -- such as Lyme disease spread by ticks or malaria spread by mosquitoes -- is very different and much more serious.
"Biological transmission wherein the germ multiplies or develops inside the insect and then somehow makes its way back to the salivary glands for injection upon the next feeding is another story," Goddard notes.

It is no surprise that job searching for the class of 2010 has been difficult and challenging. Recruiting activity at CSB/SJU this year has been limited, and corporate participation at the Minnesota Private College Job and Internship Fair in mid February was down from previous years. Graduating seniors have had to rely on additional resources during this time in order to explore opportunities.
Throughout this year, Career Services has encouraged students to utilize many resources in their job or internship search. Certainly, attending the Job and Internship Fair was one. Utilizing the Career Alumni Network Files (CANE) is another, and of course reaching out to family, friends, and previous employers to let them know that their undergraduate experience is coming to a close are tools they can use to market themselves.
In addition, the Career Services Office has designed a special program to help seniors cope with the job search this year. Our office is holding a panel discussion, "Job Searching in a Tough Economy," at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 24, in the Gorecki Center 204 at CSB. The panelists will be CSB/SJU alums who went through this challenging process and struggled to find positions. These alums will share the methods they used to secure employment during a difficult job market. We encourage you to mention this program to your graduate and ask them to attend.
Our office will participate in two additional events before the end of the semester. The Education Career Fair will be April 19, at the Hyatt Hotel in Minneapolis. This event is for graduating seniors in both elementary and secondary education and will have representatives from districts from 15 states, as well as Mexico and Japan. Registration is required for this event and closes on March 29. The Non-Profit (Idealist Fair) will be April 13, at the University of Minnesota and focuses on opportunities for graduates interested in the non-profit/human service sector. Pre-registration is not required for this event.
To stay current with Career Services and events, go to our Web site at www.csbsju.edu/career.
The Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition, which opened March 12 at the Science Museum of Minnesota, includes a gallery devoted to The Saint John's Bible. The display of original folios from The Saint John's Bible provides a compelling juxtaposition with the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Saint John's Bible is the world's newest hand-scribed illustrated Bible, and the first to be commissioned in 500 years, and the Dead Sea Scrolls are the oldest hand-scribed biblical manuscript by centuries. The exhibition at the Science Museum includes original folios, or individual vellum pages, from the recently completed volumes of The Saint John's Bible: Prophets and Wisdom Books. Neither of these volumes has been displayed in the Twin Cities before. The exhibition runs through October 24. Ticket information: http://www.saintjohnsbible.org/news/deadseascrolls_tickets.htm
Sean Kershaw, executive director of the Citizens League, is the third annual scholar-in-residence at the Eugene J. McCarthy Center for Public Policy and Civic Engagement. Kershaw will participate in two public events during his residency from March 22-26. More information: http://www.csbsju.edu/News/Kershaw.htm

An incorrect date for the Mother Son Dance (Mom Prom) was published in the 2009-2010 Parent Calendar. The correct date, as indicated in a recent letter to parents from the Knights of Columbus, is April 10. We apologize for any confusion and inconvenience this has caused, and we hope SJU juniors, seniors and their moms have a great time April 10, celebrating the end of the academic year. The Knights of Columbus are working diligently to ensure this is a great night. If you have any questions or feedback, please contact Gwen Schimek at [email protected] or 320.363.5755.
Registration begins on March 29. E-mails for financial registration holds for Fall 2010 have been sent to your son or daughter if their student account is not current. This means that their student account needs to be brought current in order for them to register during their allotted time. They can also go online via student self service and check to see if their registration is on hold if they do not remember receiving an e-mail regarding this.
The latest photographs from the Br. Linus Ascheman OSB Heritage Photo Collection have arrived and are on display in the Great Hall at Saint John's. The late Br. Linus established the collection on the occasion of the Saint John's Sesquicentennial 1856-2006. These 60 photographs have not been exhibited before. We invite you to view them during your next campus visit and learn a bit more about this place called Saint John's.

WINTERSVILLE - As the old saying goes, two is always better than one.
This statement rings true for Clyde and Kelly Larsen, owners of Hertz and Thrifty Car Rentals.
In November 2012, Hertz Rent-A-Car, the largest rental company nationwide, bought Thrifty Car Rental. However, the companies still ran as two separate entities.
Article Photos
GROWING BUSINESS — Clyde and Kelly Larsen acquired Hertz Rent-A-Car in August. The business now operates under the name of Hertz and Thrifty Car Rentals and offers area residents a one-stop shop for all of their rental car needs.
-- Jess Looman
At this time, the Larsens saw an opportunity to not only expand their business but also to benefit the community.
"We sought out to purchase a Hertz franchise," Kelly Larsen stated. "Hertz and Thrifty have different programs, but they can work hand in hand and benefit every rental need."
The Larsens opened the Hertz franchise in August while keeping the Thrifty business. It's the first facility to have a Hertz and Thrifty combination in a local market in the same building.
"This merger gives us a greater opportunity to offer a diverse fleet of automobiles," Kelly Larsen added. "We are able to purchase vehicles through Hertz corporate and have a wide variety of automobile choices. This, in turn, allows us to offer our clients a bigger selection."
The merger also benefits the community because area residents now have one place they can visit to learn of several options for rental needs.
"Thrifty Car Rental offers lower rates but limited miles," Kelly Larsen said. "They also offer small local businesses a corporate rate. Hertz offers a gold card membership that accumulates points to use, a fantastic insurance replace program that deals with all kinds of insurance, unlimited miles, one-way car rentals and preferred vendor status for all insurance companies."
"We now have a No. 1 car rental company in town," Clyde Larsen stat-
ed. "That is pretty impressive for a small town."
In addition, any company that signs up with Hertz for a corporate account will receive benefits for the company and any employee's personal needs.
"We now can offer one-stop shopping and better variety for one's rental needs," Kelly Larsen added. "Our car rental agents can provide information about which company will better suit your rental needs."
The business owners also are proud of its car detailing services.
"When you go on a trip, you can leave your car with us to detail, and when you get home you will have a clean car," Clyde Larsen noted. "We have a car detailing specialist on staff and offer those services to the public."
Hertz and Thrifty can now take care of any rental car need, Kelly Larsen said.
"And, remember that our motto states, 'We will come and pick you up.'"
For information or to schedule a rental car, call (740) 283-2277.

Religion and Custody Disputes
My colleague Rick Garnett and I had a chat about this interesting New Hampshire custody case a few days ago. He blogs on it here. I'm afraid I don't see the dire implications for religious freedom here that Jody Bottum and Rick do.The parents, as far as I can tell, have joint custody of the girl -- according to their custody agreement, the court was to step in if there was disagreement. The court did so. All along, the father objected to home schooling, the mother endorsed it. His objections became stronger over time -- in part because of the religious framework embedded in it.If the mother was raising the child to believe that the father was going to hell--and didn't love her enough because he didn't share her belief systems, it seems to me he has just cause to be concerned. (Suppose the father was Catholic--and the mother was raising the child to believe Catholics go to hell).So here are the questions:1) Is it legitimate, in the course of a custody hearing, for the court to take into account the effect of a religious belief systems on a child's relationship with the non-custodial parent? It seems to me that the answer is yes.2) Is it legitimate for the court, in this context, to have and employ a theory of education--a default understanding of what it means to educate a child to operate in this society, apart from achieving test scores, to apply in the context of familial disputes?. Again, I think the answer is yes.

As Cathy and I discussed, it is clearly the case that the context of the court's opinion -- that is, a dispute regarding custody arrangements -- complicates matters. In this context, courts often have to make decisions about matters that, as a general matter, are probably not courts' business. What is (to me) troubling about the court's decision is the fact that the court concedes that the child is being educated in accord with the relevant standards and that the mother is a fit parent, but nonetheless endorses the conclusion that "the daughter would be best served by exposure to different points of view at a time in her life when she must begin to critically evaluate multiple systems of belief and behavior and cooperation in order to select, as a young adult, which of those systems will best suit her own needs." To me -- and again, I agree with Cathy that the familial-dispute context complicates matters -- this line of reasoning is worrisome, and in tension with religious liberty, even if it were operating merely as a default theory of education. (There is also the different question whether this default theory of education really is attractive, on the merits.)
Right -- but I think what probably underlies this decision more than anything else is a judgment that the mother's influence is overwhelming relative to that of the father, in a way that would ultimately undermine the daughter's relationship with the father. Indeed, she was trying to lessen the amount of time the daughter could spend with the father as part of the same proceeding. Basically, the parents haven't agreed on anything related to school, they can't even communicate civilly about the matter, and the court allowed the mother to home school for a significant period of time. Now, I would bet money, it figures it's time to let the father's views prevail at least for a while. This is what custody disputes look like, requiring judges to play Solomon day in and day out.
I agree. Family law court decisions are sui generis and cannot be extrapolated outside the family law arena. Family law judges routinely monitor the amount of lipstick to be purchased and used by teenagers, the content of iPods and many other issues that would normally be managed by parents. Often in family law matters, the parents are incapable of making any parenting decisions at all--yet somebody must do so for the good of the children. There is another issue. It is common in family law for parents to attempt to "alienate" their children from the other parent. There are many subtle and not so subtle methods of doing so. A parent getting caught alienating their children runs the risk of losing custody. Unfortunately, religion is often used as a subterfuge for alienation. For these reasons absolutely nothing can be read into the court's decision regarding government interference with religion. Divorce is a tragedy. Figure out a way to work things out with your spouse or the state will be forced to make some important decisions you may not agree with.
New Hampshire, like most (all?) states, uses a 'best interests of the child' standard in evaluating these kinds of disputes. (The NH standard is referenced in another part of the case opinion.) This is a good standard, but of course the devil is always in the details in what can often be very difficult and very emotional disputes.I agree with Joe McFaul that these cases are sui generis, and I think Barbara's got it exactly right that the court recognized the mother's overwhelming influence. I'm betting that Amanda's visible frustration when the counselor didn't complete the Bible assignment Amanda had given her played a significant part in the court's decision. The mother's comments that Amanda reveals her true feelings only to her, and that she is the "trusted adult" in her daughter's life also likely swayed the court. I'm also betting the court has a long history with these parents and their disputes over their daughter, and that there is a lot to be read between the lines of the formal prose of the court opinion.
"The evidence support a finding that Amanda's generally likeable and well-liked, social and interactive with her peers, academically promising and intellectually at or superior to grade level."
My experience in Family Court in New york was tha many custody metters were extremely accrimonious and much manipulation by parties occurred to "get at" the other.I agree then with the sui generis approach stated here.
Rick, I don't see the concession on the part of the court that you see--to say that she''s doing well on standardized tests sn't to say that she's been educated well. . She's mastering the material. But that doesn't necessarily mean she's being educated. I don't think the government has to remain agnostic about what counts as education. Exposure to other views, in most cases, in most theories of education, is seen as a good thing. Ability to deal with people who have other views is also a good thing--I think the interaction with the counselor was, in fact, deeply troubling. Why is she giving the counselor a Bible assignment? The key thing about the mother's view of education (which was tried for several years) was that it alienated the girl from other parts of the family. It alienated her from the broader community--and in that, it seems to me, we can see what distinguishes the case from Yoder. So one does not need to have a deep view of education to object to the mother's approach--one only needs a functionalist approach, which considers the relationships advanced or impeded by the educational style. I think Barbara is right--the religious beliefs the daughter is being inculcated with by the mother are ones which directly and adversely affect her relationship with her father.
I think the interaction with the counselor was deeply troubling because the counselor did not respond to Amanda's questions when clearly Amanda is concerned for her Father.
Exposure to other views, in most cases, in most theories of education, is seen as a good thing. I imagine that most homeschool parents choose to do so precisely because this statement is accurate. It's not so much the content of the courses that they object to, although this plays a part. More important is the imparting of a generally skeptical outlook that accepts everything as potentially true, yet believes nothing. What kind of citizenry are we raising? It seems to me that in too many cases we are bringing up persons with no central convictions except relativism. This is not a path to freedom."The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."--Noam Chomsky
The role of the judge is not to decide these questions as an absolute matter but as a referee in a dispute between the parents, whose views on the matter are diametrically opposed to each other. It's hard to be balanced when the middle ground is an abyss between two opposing precipices.
"Divorce is a tragedy. Figure out a way to work things out with your spouse or the state will be forced to make some important decisions you may not agree with."The discussion here revolves around civil divorce custody cases, and I don't want to detract from that. But I think the comment above is the crux of the biscuit, perhaps a topic for another thread sometime in light of how effective the Church's pre-marital and Retrouvaille programs are at stemming divorce rates among Catholics. Generally, couples need to ask themselves whether their dislike for each other trumps their love for their child, especially in situations where no one is in danger of physical harm or emotional abuse.Staying together for the sake of the kids is stressful and probably shaves years off the lives of couples who force themselves to swallow a lot of the bile they feel and pull together despite their personal divisions. But I'm not sure that, in the long run, that's any less stressful than dealing with custody and support wrangles, and wondering, in their final hours, if they truly did what was best for their children.Moreover, as this case illustrates, whatever divisions the couple has before divorce will deepen after a divorce, when sharing living space no longer requires them to maintain even a veneer of civility.
Kathy, can the STATE have a theory of education? Or does it have to remain agnostic--say about religions that think little girsl should be educated to be homemakers?Is there a theory of education that should apply--at least by default, in a a pluralistic society.Do college admissions offices have to be agnostic--certainly private schools don't. Some probably favor homeschooling, other look on it with suspicion.My worry about Rick's comment is that I think he thinks the state has to remain relativistic about what counts a good education in order to promote freedom of religion.
I think Cathleen nailed it in her last comment. There seems to be an undercurrent in Rick's view that the state should be preferring the parent who wants to make religion the dominant theme of her child's education, no matter what the other parent thinks about it, and that any decision that undercuts the religious aspects of that education is somehow anti-religion. And there are some of us who continue to believe that Yoder was wrongly decided, or at least, should have been a lot more difficult. Read the dissent of William O. Douglas, which I thought was very insightful.
"The Court has not considered the merits of Amanda's religious beliefs but considered only the impact of those beliefs on her interaction with others both past and future." If the Court has not considered the merits of Amanda's religious beliefs how can the Court consider the impact of those beliefs on her interaction with others both past and future?That being said, someone should tell Amanda about the "Good Thief", who at the hour of his death, saw The Light.
Cathy, I don't think there is such a thing as a "state" in a pluralistic society, at least not in the way you are suggesting. We don't have a single mind with which we make all our collective decisions. The government isn't "agnostic," but plural.
Kathy, the state of New Hampshire is a political entity. It's a coercive entity. It passes laws. It enforces laws. It passes requirements for kids about schooling. It inculcates values, formally and informally. Among the things it inculcates should there be a theory of education?Nancy--would you tell the counselor to say the same thing if the Father were a practicing Catholic? He's the good thief who has to convert to evangelical protestantism before being saved?
Laws are enacted by legislatures, and in a pluralistic democracy the makeup of legislatures is pluralistic. Legislators make laws by majority vote, not by unanimous agreement on underlying principles. Legislators have theories, lobbyists have theories, constituents have theories, but legislatures as such do not have theories. If a theory of education--a set of underlying principles determining votes--were to be imposed upon a legislature, whoever imposed it would be committing an aggressive political act, the kind of act that legislatures tend to resist, and for which there tends to be backlash. This resistance is a good thing, because in a healthy political climate there will be constant pressure on a legislature, but no one will be able to dominate the legislature.
The Court has no justification for placing Amanda in public school since:1).The Court can not consider the impact of Amanda's religious beliefs on her interaction with others past and future due to the fact that the Court has not considered the merits of Amanda's religious beliefs to begin with, and2) "The evidence supports the finding that Amanda's generally likeable and well-liked, social and interactive with her peers, academically promising and intellectually at or superior to grade level."
You have it exactly backwards Nancy. The court is prohibited from examining the merits of Amanda's beliefs. Its role is limited to whether the inculcation of those beliefs was done in a manner that is injurious to Amanda's relationship with her father, a person who has the exact same interest in her society that her mother does. His views count even if they are not religious. This isn't anything new. Lots of divorced parents use religious difference as a means of alienating children from the other parent.
If the Court is prohibited from examining the merits of Amanda's beliefs then the Court can not determine the impact of Amanda's beliefs on her relationship with her Father. Religious differences are not limited to divorced parents and certainly Amanda's Father is in no way prohibited from exposing her to his religious views.

I know a 7 year old who will hug anyone, including complete strangers, is friendly, doesn't seem to quite get social cues that others his age would. This kid is very smart, essentially doing work a grade more advanced than he should be, and he's doing great at it. It seems to me to be something I've heard of, but I can't quite put a name, it's on the tip of my tongue... What disorder is this?
What disorder is associated with social awkwardness, hugging, intelligence, and difficulty focusing?
It's difficult to give any definite indication over the internet, but the symptoms you describe are all found in Asperger's syndrome. The problem is that they could all equally be symptoms of other disorders too. Social awkawardness is a feature of Asperger's, but is experienced by many people, including myself and certainly could be a response to 'sensory processing disorder.' Similarly the 'hugging' which again could be a feature of Asperger's, could also be a self - stimulatory' response to a need for tactile stimulation which again is a feature of sensory processing disorder. Difficulty focussing again might be incorporated into a diagnosis of Asperger's but is also seen in children who have AD(H)D.
I am a child neuro-developmentalist and trust me, the only way to truly find out is to get a professional assessment.
Sounds very much like Asperger syndrome - an autism spectrum disorder.
Based off the information given, it wouldn't be difficult to associate these characteristics to several disorders (please forgive me for not listing them here). Is it possible there is no disorder involved? Sounds like a wonderful child.
You could easily be describing my daughter. She is now 13, and last year was diagnosed with Aspergers. There is a really great blog run by a father that has Aspergers, and has two children with the disorder. http://life-with-aspergers.blogspot.com/2009/04/human-side-of-aspergers-diagnosis-part.html The blog is well written and well worth the read.
Take the time to learn about the disorder, it will help considerably. Not all Aspergers (aspies) present with the same conditions. With me, my daughter's desire to hug everything in sight threw me, it seems contrary to the stereotypical view of the anti-social aspie. There are some very positive things about having a aspie child, but there are challanges.
It's impossible to diagnose a child--especially with no relevant expertise--from only a brief description. Asperger's is considered part of the Autism Spectrum. Hugging strangers is not typical of the condition, although obviously there are exceptions. On the other hand, excessive displays of affection to strangers might be a symptom of attachment disorder.
There's a huge difference between these two problems in terms of overall consequences to the life of the individual affected and those who care for them. If this child is in any distress--they seem unable to cope with their school life, they are excessively unhappy, they are unable to maintain friendships, they lack empathy to humans or animals, etc--then I would encourage his parents (if you appropriately can) to seek professional help.
The hugging of strangers reminds me of Williams Syndrome.
Well, I think that we're getting slightly off the original subject here. "What disorder is associated with social awkwardness, hugging, intelligence, and difficulty focusing?"
When I was young, under the age of 9, I vaguely remember my mother always yelling at me to leave people alone...to stop hugging everyone I saw, to not talk to total strangers, to quit fidgeting in social settings, to pay attention and listen, and there were times she would have to walk up to me and smack me on the back of the head to get my attention because I never heard her even talking to me until I was smacked...amongst other many issues I had and have to deal with on a moment by moment basis for the rest of my life.
~ What disorder is associated with social awkwardness, hugging, intelligence, and difficulty focusing? ~
This is the main issue, not if the answer to it is correct or not, as only a psychologist, psychiatrist or counselor should be the judge of the symptoms.

What's the best way to clean a lens filter?
I bought a used lens that came with a filter. The lens is in great shape but the filter clearly has smudges and streaks across the front.
Am I better off buying a new filter?
What I do is get some lens cleaning fluid, put some on a lint free cloth and wipe the filter. Then I use a microfiber cloth to get any smears off. B&H has an extensive blog post showing how to clean a filter and lens with the tools you'll need.
Always do a non-abrasive cleaning (like a blower brush) before moving on to wet cleaners! If there's a bit of sand or other hard dirt on the filter, scrubbing it may scratch the filter (or lens) perhaps requiring a replacement. A quick pass with a blower will take care of that problem (and perhaps give all of the cleaning required), then you can decide how to proceed with a wet cleaning.
Use dish-washing gel to clean your filters.
I use a microfiber cloth for minor cleaning, and a cleaning fluid (I can't remember what brand, but it's just highly purified alcohol) with PEC-Pads. What ever you use remember two things- if you're using a fluid, always put in on the cloth, not on the glass (this really only applies to lenses, but it's good to get in the habit) and always rub in a circular motion.
Microfiber cloth and drugstore rubbing alcohol. Wipe gently in a circular motion. Air dry.
As you can see, everyone seems to have their own method.

I have a field called "JobID" that needs to be unique in the notes database. My plan is to search the database for a document's JobID and ,if it is equal to the current document's JobID, alert the user and cancel the save. I can't seem to figure out how I would do this though.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
You could shorten your code a bit, there is no need to loop through all documents...
db.Search is very slow, I would use a view lookup instead. You could use db.FTSearch, but if the full-text index is not up-to-date, you will not get the correct return value. So just create a hidden lookup view with the job ID as the first and only column (sorted).
You should also declare session/db/etc in your function. Make sure you always use Option Declare...
Managing the unique number yourself like that may lead you into trouble. There is a formula
Alternatively you could maintain a single document in the database that holds a number value that you increment each time manually. It's more work, but gives you something like an auto-incremented Id that relational databases have.
I am the first to admit that this is rather ugly, but it's effective and very simple if you have a view where the first column is the JobID.
Or something like that.
You could also do something much nicer in many other ways:
Hope this helps inspire you :-) Phil
Hm, I'm afraid there's no other way than iterating over all documents in database, which use specific form containing your field. Much more efficient way instead of iterating every time, would be saving used JobID in two places - with the document, and in some storage containing all JobIDs used - then you could check with gathered set, and/or possibly do all document's scan at off hours to ensure data integrity. You can narrow search by using some specific custom-defined view, and iterate over documents in this view instead of all documents in DB, however such solution will be a risk, that with data integration somewhat forged you'll get yourself into trouble..

Ecstasy Untamed: A Feral Warriors Novel (Mass Market Paperbound)
They are called Feral Warriors--an elite band of immortals who can change shape at will. Sworn to rid the world of evil, consumed by sorcery and seduction, their wild natures are primed for release . . .
Shattered by recent nightmarish events, Hawke feels his bond with his animal spirit weakening--and once it breaks, he's finished. The arrival of Faith sends his life spinning even further out of control, for although she delights him and enflames his deepest primal passions, she's promised to Maxim, the newest Feral Warrior.
Faith is drawn to Hawke from the start, but Maxim holds her in his thrall and has secretly bent her to his malevolent will. Though gravely damaged, Hawke is the only one who can end Faith's slavery and protect the Feral Warriors from Maxim's evil designs. But first they both must embrace the wild . . . and surrender body and soul to a forbidden, all-consuming ecstasy.

Render an image
What is the best way to render an image in GXT?
I need it to be involved in layout system and to be active component.
1 Dec 2011 4:41 PM #2
Can you be more specific? What kind of image, and how do you want it to take part in layout - or just to be resized? Is it enough to extend BoxComponent, and to draw an <img> tag with that, and override onResize to grow/shrink it?
What do you mean by 'active component'? If it extends Component (or some subclass), you will be able to add listeners to events, based on what events you sink to the dom.
1 Dec 2011 6:15 PM #3
Just as a usual component, that's all I need.
5 Dec 2011 2:16 PM #4
Try subclassing BoxComponent, and going from there, starting with building onRender to draw as you want it to. It looks like setSize (invoked by layout) should be already set to resize the basic element drawn.
To get events call sinkEvents - take a look at how Button sets that up in its onRender method. Looking at Field and some of its subclasses should give you more ideas.

SEC Aids Gifted Student With Psychiatric Disabilities
This article appeared in the Fall 2009 CLINIC NEWS.
The Special Education Clinic (SEC) successfully obtained accommodations and educational services for P.H., a 17-year-old academically gifted student who was unable to attend school due to a psychiatric disorder. Rather than respond to the parent's numerous requests for services, the public school district sought to issue P.H. a high school diploma and thereby force her to graduate.
P.H. had attended public school in the district from kindergarten to eighth grade. During ninth and tenth grades, she attended an exclusive, private high school in Connecticut on scholarship from a foundation offering educational opportunities to gifted students from poor urban areas. While in private school, P.H. began to experience anxiety attacks and attempted suicide. As a result, P.H.'s mother re-enrolled her into the public school district, where she was accepted into a magnet school for gifted and talented students.
P.H. successfully completed 11th grade after her mother obtained psychiatric counseling and medication management for her. However, at the start of senior year, P.H. began to experience significant depression, suicidal thoughts, and school phobia, and missed a substantial portion of the school year. Although P.H. was enrolled in several Advanced Placement and Honors classes, her teachers were never notified of her ongoing medical condition or that her academic program should be modified. As a result, P.H. did not complete the first marking period. She was admitted to an inpatient psychiatric hospital when her condition worsened shortly thereafter. P.H. remained hospitalized for several months; upon exiting the inpatient program, she continued in the partial treatment program for the remainder of the school year. P.H. received some educational services through the hospital; however, she did not complete the courses in which she initially was enrolled at the public high school.
Hospital personnel recommended a private school placement for the rest of the school year in a day program for academically gifted students with emotional and psychiatric disorders. The district rejected the recommendation and refused to meet to discuss the accommodations she required. Without necessary accommodations, P.H. received incompletes and an "F" as final grades for the year. Since P.H. still had sufficient credits to graduate, the district sought to give her a diploma and contended that she was not eligible for special education due to her previous high academic performance, advanced proficiency on the High School Proficiency Test and her performance on the SAT, which exceeded 2100.
When the district refused to provide P.H. another year of academic education and to remove the failing and incomplete grades from her transcript, the SEC filed applications for emergent relief and due process. After hearing testimony, the Administrative Law Judge agreed with the parent and prohibited the school district from graduating P.H. She also ordered the district to hold a meeting to determine the student's eligibility for supports and services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
After the hearing, the school district held meetings to determine P.H.'s eligibility. The district ultimately determined that P.H. was eligible for Section 504 services and developed a plan to accommodate her psychiatric disabilities which included a modified schedule, counseling, and coordination of outpatient services with her schooling. The school district further agreed to remove all incomplete and failing grades from P.H.'s transcript and provide transition services for at least one year after graduation to ensure that P.H. has the opportunity to enroll in a college of her choice.

The United States by every measure is hanging on by a thread to its First World status. Saddled by debt, engaged in wars on multiple fronts with a rising police state at home, declining economic productivity, and wild currency fluctuations all threaten America's future.
The general designations of the ranking system for world status date back to the 1950s, and have included countries at various stages of economic development. Since the Cold War, the definition has come to be synonymous with repressive countries where a wealthy class of ruling elites segment society into the haves and have-nots, many times capitalizing on the conditions that follow an economic crisis or war.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Apply
After You Are Approved
Vehicle Type Restrictions
Capital One Auto Finance only finances new and used cars, light trucks, minivans and SUVs that will be used for personal use. Vehicles must be 7 years old or newer.
We do not finance Oldsmobile, Daewoo, Saab, Suzuki or Isuzu vehicles. We do not offer financing for commercial vehicles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles (RVs), ATVs, boats, camper vans, motor homes, lemon vehicles, branded title vehicles, or vehicles without a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or title issued. We may determine a vehicle to be commercial or otherwise ineligible based on the model and/or information provided to us.
Loan Amount Restrictions
Minimum loan amount is $7,500. You may apply for a loan amount of up to $40,000 for new and used vehicles and $40,000 for refinance loans. Your actual loan amount will be limited based on the value of the specific vehicle that you are purchasing or refinancing. For new vehicles, value is based on invoice price. For used vehicles, value is based on Kelley Blue Book wholesale value or NADA trade-in value (depending on your state of residence). The amount of this limitation may vary and will be specified in your loan package as the "LTV" (loan-to-value) limit. For example, if the value of the vehicle that you are buying is $20,000 and your LTV limit is 110%, then your loan amount will be limited to $20,000 x 110% = $22,000.
Refinancing Restrictions
Your current lender must be an FDIC or NCUA insured financial institution. Most banks, credit unions, and larger auto finance companies meet this requirement. Your current loan must not be serviced by Capital One Auto Finance.
You must refinance the full payoff amount of your existing auto loan subject to our minimum and maximum loan amounts. We do not offer cash-back refinancing or lease buyouts.
If you have a GAP policy on your current loan, your GAP agreement will have language confirming whether your GAP policy terminates upon refinancing or whether coverage continues. This information is usually found in the limitations and exclusion section of your agreement, or the part of your agreement that addresses expiration or early termination. Please also contact your GAP provider for any questions or concerns. Please be aware that Capital One Auto Finance will only payoff your existing auto loan and will not finance new GAP coverage if your current GAP provider cancels the coverage upon refinancing the original loan.
Refinance Documentation Requirements
After you apply and are approved to refinance an auto loan with us, we will need some or all of the following documentation:
Proof of Income
Based on your credit, you may need to provide Proof of Income documentation.
Vehicle Title
You will need to send us your vehicle title if you reside in one of the following states: KS, KY, MD, MI, MN, MO, NY, OK, SD, WI. In all other states we will obtain the title directly from the state agency which holds your vehicle title.
Limited Power of Attorney to Modify Vehicle Title
In order to modify your vehicle title to show Capital One Auto Finance as the new lienholder we will need you to sign a limited Power of Attorney document which authorizes us to make this change at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Yearly Savings
Yearly Payment reduction claim is based on average payment reduction our customers experience over a year with their new loan (same or a longer term) compared to their prior yearly loan payments. Yearly payment reduction may result from a lower interest rate, a longer term or both. Your actual savings may be different.
Customer reviews are submitted by validated Capital One customers who refinance using Capital One. Some product ratings and reviews may be obtained from customers with different versions of the product displayed above.
APR is the Annual Percentage Rate. Advertised rates are offered depending on the individual's excellent and substantial credit and key loan characteristics, including but not limited to amount, term, and vehicle characteristics. A representative example of payment terms are as follows: a loan amount of $20,000 with an APR of 7.50% and a term of 60 months would have a monthly payment of $400.76. Advertised rates are subject to change without notice.

Ole Miss Upsets 4 Seeded Wisconsin, 57-46
Posted: 3:26 PM Mar 22, 2013
Reporter: AP (posted by Justin Surrency)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ Marshall Henderson shook out of a shooting slump and scored 17 points in the second half, leading 12th-seeded Mississippi past No. 5 Wisconsin 57-46 on Friday, giving the Rebels their first NCAA tournament win since 2002.
For the cold-shooting Badgers (23-12), the upset loss snaps a string of six straight first-game victories. Ole Miss (27-8) trailed 25-22 at halftime and Henderson, who led the Southeastern Conference with 20 points a game, had only two points on one-for-11 shooting.
But the flamboyant and outspoken guard found his touch just in time for Ole Miss, and wound up hitting 6 of 21. His back-to-back 3-pointers tied it 36-36 and his layup and two free throws in the final minute sealed the win.
Reginald Buckner had nine points and 12 rebounds. Sam Dekkar had 14 points for Wisconsin.
In the third round of the West Regional on Sunday, the Rebels will play the winner of the matchup between No. 4 seed Kansas State and No. 13 La Salle.

Prep Time: 30M
Cooking Time: 30M
Serves: makes 4-6 servings
- 2lb ( 900g) baking potatoes, peeled and chunked
- 2 large leeks, white and pale green parts only, split lengthwise, sliced
- 1/3 cup whole milk, warmed
- 4 tbsp butter
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the filling
- 1 1/2 lb ( 750g) ground lamb
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced

Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- To make the topping, boil the potatoes in a large saucepan of lightly salted water until almost tender, about 15 minutes. Add the leeks and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes longer. Drain well and return to the saucepan.
- Mash the potatoes and leeks together. Return to low heat and stir in the milk and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, make the filling. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cook the lamb in a large frying pan for 5 minutes, stirring to break up the meat, until lightly browned. Pour off the fat. Transfer the lamb to a bowl.
- Heat the oil in the frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, for about 4 minutes, or until softened. Add the carrots. Return the lamb to the frying pan.
- Add the wine, increase the heat to high, and cook for 3 minutes, or until the wine has evaporated. Stir in the flour, then the stock, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, and rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the filling in a baking dish and cover with the potato topping. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden. Let stand 5 minutes, then serve straight from the dish.
- Prepare ahead: The pie can be prepared, covered, and refrigerated, up to 1 day in advance. Increase the baking time to 40 minutes.
- Good with a simple green vegetable, such as steamed broccoli or minted peas.
Cottage Pie: Virtually the same dish made with beef, rather than lamb. For a cottage pie, follow the recipe above, but substitute ground round for the lamb, 1 cup fresh or frozen peas for the carrots, and thyme for the rosemary. If you wish, omit the leeks from the topping and stir 2 tbsp prepared horseradish into the potatoes instead.

Tips to Prevent Unnecessary and Unfortunate Dog Bites
PetSmart Debbie McKnight/Accredited PetSmart Trainer
All dogs can bite. Even if you think, "Not my dog!" it could happen.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for dog bites. Of those, more than half are children. There are campaigns like National Dog Bite Prevention Week, which occurs the third week of May, that help raise awareness and educate the public, but Pet Parents and those who may have contact with a dog must be diligent year-round.
Here are some tips to help prevent unneccessary and unfortunate bites:
- Dogs do not like hugging and kissing. Have you seen those pictures of the children hugging the dogs with the caption that reads "Who looks happier?" I'll give you a hint … it's not the dog.
- Do not put your face near the dog's face. Nobody likes someone right in their face. Dogs are no different.
- Teach your children - and remind yourself - not to bother a busy dog. If the dog is busy (eating, sleeping, in the crate, playing with a toy, etc.) do not startle him. Just like some people, many dogs do not take kindly to being startled or interrupted. Call him to you or let him know you're approaching.
- Do not put your dog in a situation he can't handle. You are responsible for your dog's behavior. Forcing your dog to tolerate things he is unprepared for is stressful. Stress leads to unpredictable behavior.
- Take a positive reinforcement training class. Teaching your dog what is expected of him, without using aversives or harsh corrections, will lead to a calm, confident dog.
- Understand your dog has bad days just like everybody else. There are times when your dog will have less tolerance than usual. Perhaps he's hot, tired, in pain, or just getting older. Be patient with him.
- Not all dogs like to be petted. Hard to believe? Remember how old Aunt Edna used to pinch your cheeks every Christmas and croon, "My how you've grown?" Nobody ever liked that! Yet, it is how many dogs view petting. Your own dog may tolerate you doing offensive things like hugging and kissing; however, he may not want a stranger touching him. Some days he may not even want you to touch him!
- When a dog comes up to smell you, that is not an invitation to pet him. He is gaining information about you, so wait to see if he hangs around for petting or not.
- Be aware of the dog's body language. Dogs give many warnings before they even begin to growl or snarl. Tense muscles, lip licking, yawning, turning the head away, moving away, freezing and being able to see the whites of the eyes are just some of the signs that a dog is NOT comfortable.
- Approach with caution or not at all! Educating yourself and your children on the dog's warning signs will drastically reduce the chances of a bite.

Thanks also for your Hornaday photo. Do I assume there is nothing on the other side, like dates?

WT & Josephine Hornaday
Greetings, and thank you for photographing and uploading the beautiful headstone photograph on William Temple Hornaday's page. I have one more favor to ask: could you add it to his wife Josephine's page also? Her memorial is #124798848.

Samuel Howell Ashbridge
First, thank you for all your efforts. The work of you an others on Find-A-Grave is invaluable.
Now I want to suggest a slight correction. Samuel Howell Ashbridge was not born in Philadelphia, PA. He was born in old Chester township (now Maple Shade township), in Burlington County, New Jersey.
Samuel Howell Ashbridge, the one time mayor of Philadelphia, was a son of Samuel Howell Ashbridge, a Quaker born in 1822 in the Byberry area of northeastern Philadelphia. He and his father are listed in the 1850 and 1860 federal censuses for Burlington Co., NJ. The original records from the Laurel Hill Cemetery show a Jane P. Ashbridge following Samuel's name, with her age at death as 78 and his as 59. The third name listed is Anna A. Firth, aged 73, the younger sister of Samuel Howell Ashbridge, Sr., who married a John Firth. The wife of Samuel H. Ashbridge, Sr., as listed in the 1850 and 1860 Burlington Co., NJ, censuses was a Jane P.
If you want to see the proof, then I have many digital records for this family, including scans of the 1850 and 1860 Burlington Co., NJ, census pages where they are listed. I'd be glad to send copies of these, but I'm not sure how to do that through this forum.

Thomas Jefferson Rusk
You have an incorrect date relating to Gen. Rusk. I'm sure it's a typo but regardless it should be changed. You have stated that in 1938 the Texas Congress appointed him Chief Justice, when it should read 1838.
Thank you for changing this at your earliest convenience.
Sally Reynolds, wife of Jim Reynolds, 3rd gg grandson of Thomas Jefferson Rusk.

I could do it but it would have my name shown and I didn't want to do that.

(new here? read this first.)
Daniel here. Welcome back.
I attended an art parade a few years ago, taking lots of photos and videos. As I was packing up and heading out, I turned the corner and witnessed this scene. It was hard to resist taking this photograph. It appeals to me in so many ways, most significantly, it's surrealism.
I'm never without a camera. In the past, it was a conscious decision to carry one. Heading on a big road trip. Flying somewhere new. Heading into the city. Or on a perfect cloud day.
Now I don't always have to think or plan. I've taken some pretty cool shots with my iPhone. I take photos when I go running. On my way to meetings. Out with friends. I'm always prepared.
I'm always fascinated and amazed by witness or amateur photography and video during major events – sports, natural disasters, bloopers, Tosh.O, etc. You never, ever know what's going to happen in life. I think that's why I always like carrying a camera.
When I was younger (and even now, sometimes) I used to want to be a photo journalist. Someone that traveled to really diverse locations around the world – wars, natural disasters, extreme climates, you name it. I wanted to explore, experience and engage with local cultures. My camera would bring that world alive.
I don't exactly live that life, but my camera does bring my world to you. I love photographing in new environments. Clouds. Airports. Cities. Food. Rarely people. Lego. Racing. And the natural landscape. And I love the unexpected. Like this shot.
I still remember this moment like it was yesterday. It was a moment I had to capture. And now I'm bringing it to you.
Long time no see! So, how are you? Me? I had a baby. She's really cute. And it's not just me that thinks so. Pretty much everyone is enamored with her to the point that going out in public is a big spectacle.
You know what else is a big spectacle? My six year old coming home from Kindergarten, throwing down her backpack, holding up her middle finger and proclaiming "HUNTER DID THIS TO ME ON THE BUS."
*deep breath*
So I remember flipping my dad off once, okay, so I don't actually remember the flipping, I just remember staring down at my tiny feet attempting to dodge my dad's enormous ones as he tried to pummel some sense into me. (To be clear, my dad didn't smack me around or anything, let's just say they didn't have parenting books back then that told you not to freak the freak out when your kid does something super naughty in complete innocence.)
Then there was the time she came home and asked me if girls really had to take off all their clothes to kiss boys. (Thanks again neighbor boy!) Or the time she asked me what 'sexy' meant. Or there was last Tuesday where she asked what the "I'M NOT GOING TO SAY IT BUT THE FUH WORD" meant.
Thanks to all those books I have that my dad didn't, I calmly replied "That is a word that is a thousand times worse than the 'S' word (the 'S' word being "stupid" score one for innocence!) and if you ever say it to anyone your face will melt off."
If her eyes weren't huge when I told her it was a thousand times worse than stupid they were practically water towers by the time I finished telling her the fate of her face if she were to ever utter such a word.
What? The books just said to stay calm and not make a big deal out of it, how am I supposed to remember what comes next?
Today I had to explain cremation, last month I had to explain birth, breastfeeding and umbilical cords in a span of three days. In February I had to explain drag queens and someday I'm going to have to explain a lot more…and until I'm feeling the pressure of her little inquisitive eyes? I at least know to stay calm.

I have a site collection on SP Standard 2010. I want to achieve a menu flyout like so:
a b c
a2 b2 c2
A, B, C are the parent menu and a,b,c are the submenu very easy.
I have made sure the publising features on the sitecollections and the subsites have been activated.
What do i need to do to get the dropdown menu as i have tried to create a site collection A and then created a subsite a and a2 but i don't get the dropdown feature even after changing the staticdisplay and maxdisplay setting in the masterpages.

As far as hobbys go; im very involved with music, i can play guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, mandolin, ukelele and learning violin. i play drums in an on/off funk rock band.
im also a voluntary youth worker, and help run a club where kids can get free music lessons, rent out instruments and help to play live shows and things like that.
Ive recently started a comedy-let's play channel with a friend, called "Ryan and Rob play" simple but it works. it can be found here: www.youtube.com/user/Ryanandrobplay . Its Still in development for now. Will more than likely be posting things about it in the community shows section in the future.
So ill Look forward to posting with you.
My introduction Seems somewhat inadaquate compared to the others ._.

The 9 Most Offensive 9/11 References in Pop Culture
#4. Anti-Smoking Ads
Cigarette companies have a long, morally dubious history of using manipulative images to make their products stand out. And they've suffered the shit storms for it throughout the years, so it's great to see that the anti-smoking lobby has finally caught up in the tasteless exploitation race.
It's so obvious when you think about it: two cigarettes, parallel, both lit. Cigarettes kill people, and 9/11 killed people -- the perfect connection! It sends a clear and concise message: "If you smoke, you're a 9/11!"
We're not certain, but we think the patch qualifies you as a Flight 93.
We're not surprised that somebody got it in his head to exploit a national tragedy, and we're sadly not even surprised that it's the anti-smoking lobby. We are pretty surprised, however, that somebody thought this was a good enough idea to run ... in two separate campaigns.
#3. The Official FEMA 9/11 Coloring Book
Therapy is essential in helping everybody, but especially children, process traumatic experiences. It's simple: Returning to a disturbing memory in a safe context helps you come to terms with it. Presumably that's what FEMA was going for when it produced the accurately titled children's book, A Scary Thing Happened. But while the theory is sound, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Like, for example, maybe they didn't have to make it a coloring book:
Notice that the artist crams not one, not two, but three 9/11s into a single image -- the fabled Triple Giuliani! At no point in the making of this thing -- from the brainstorming to the writing to the actual artistry - did somebody ever stop for one second and consider the implications of asking children to hand-color in images of the flames that burned many actual, real people alive:
Understandably, some people had a problem with the picture, and FEMA eventually took it down. Which is a shame, because if our children can't smear crayons over squiggly depictions of national tragedies, then haven't the terrorists won already?
#2. Remember Me
Remember Me is the first romantic dramadey featuring Twilight guy and teen heartthrob Robert Pattinson, wherein he broke from the fantasy roles that made him a star to give a daring performance ... as teen heartthrob Robert Pattinson. It was a pretty conventional movie. Here we have a sexy shower scene where even the characters complain how cliche it is:
And here we have the father/suitor showdown:
Standard stuff: Handsome male lead, quirky but pretty female lead, a few selections from the bittersweet indie romantic comedy playbook, love conquers all ... and then the film's climax makes a sharp left turn into tactless absurdity:
Just keep with it -- it's only a minute long. Done?
We'd like to reiterate, at this point, that up until the last minute of run-time, the movie never alluded to, nor even hinted at, a connection to 9/11. An hour or so of heartfelt romantic comedy, and then BAM!
Not pictured: Tact.
You got 9/11'ed.
But really, it's the only logical culmination of the Nicholas Sparks "last-minute tragic twist" romance formula. What's more tragic than Alzheimer's disease? Cancer. And what's more tragic than cancer? September goddamn 11th! Way to step up your game, guy who previously directed nine episodes of Sex and the City. Nobody can mock your shallow storytelling and callous, superficial characters now that you've 9/11'ed the shit out of Robert Pattinson. That's probably deep somehow!
Nothing shows solemn respect like CGI.
#1. 9/11 Candy Toys
You know those big bags of candy you find in dollar stores, filled up with off-brand Smarties and little plastic objects that seem more likely to simultaneously asphyxiate and poison children than to amuse them? In the summer of 2004, Lisy Corp. had to recall a whole bunch of those inane, chintzy little doodads because they supposedly included two politically insensitive toys. The first one was a little plastic airplane suspended between two purple skyscrapers:
Honestly, after what we've seen in this article, that's not that bad. It was probably just another misunderstanding that people got touchy about, one of those things that only looks bad in context. It could honestly just be a plane flying through a city. Now, here's the other toy included in the package:
"Oh, that? What? It's a ... uh ... bearded, turban-wearing King Kong! No? Well, shit: You're reduced to buying dollar-store candy, so we just figured you'd be with us on this whole death-to-America thing."

An El33t P33k at… Outrise, "multiplayer Shadow Of The Colossus meets Left 4 Dead"Written by: / / 3 Comments
A team of game industry veterans from studios including Crytek, Ubisoft and Treyarch have come together to form a new development outfit, Adhesive Games, using their years of experience working on titles like Metroid Prime, Hawken, Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 to work on an all-new multiplayer-focussed game, Outrise.
Described by the team as "multiplayer Shadow Of The Colossus meets Left 4 Dead," and inspired by classic sci-fi adventures like Star Wars, RoboCop and Blade Runner, Outrise is currently in early development but aims to be a game about "multiplayer boss fights and asymmetrical gameplay."
Sound familiar? Hours after Outrise was announced, Turtle Rock's new shooter, Evolve, was also revealed – read about the next game from the Left 4 Dead developer over here.
"Remember reaching the giant boss at the end of a level?" writes Adhesive Games on the official Outrise site. "Now imagine that boss was controlled by your friend or someone online."
"You spawn in to the game, grab your weapons, and emerge from the underground and into the fight," writes Adhesive, painting a further picture. "Terrifying roars of the Megalith echo through the streets. As you reach the battlefield a fellow comrad is crushed to a fine red mist beneath the ungodly weight of the beast. It's all out warfare. Fifteen players fighting against one like a colony of fire ants attacking its prey. A team of davids against a towering goliath."
In the same way that Left 4 Dead focusses on asymmetrical multiplayer encounters as humans face off against a collection of zombies with different abilities, Outrise will also make asymmetrical play its focal point tasking player-controlled soldiers with taking down a single boss, also controlled by a player.
"As a foot soldier you have access to an array of high power weapons like rifles, drones, and explosives. You can drive land and air vehicles and even climb the boss itself. You and an entire team work together to take down one player." Adhesive is already giddy over the potential to play as a boss in Outrise, writing:
Words cannot describe the level of destructive power you feel playing as the boss. You are an unstoppable machine of death facing an army of real players by yourself. Entire teams are decimated with the click of your button. The earth trembles as you scale the landscape, leaving complete and utter destruction in your wake. Stomp enemies into pancakes, drop enemy-seeking mines, and unleash horrendous weaponry on your foes the likes of which the world has never seen."
Sounds fantastic.
It's not all ice-cream and rainbows when you're playing as the boss in Outrise, though, because you'll need to be keenly aware of everything that's going on across the battlefield as enemies climb up your character's chassis, attack from the ground and air and surround you while plotting to take you down.
From the sounds of things, Outrise will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, but judging by how far game development still has to go (project lead James Wearing began by himself around mid-2012) we may only see the game in 2015. There are plans, however, to release something smaller in scope initially and then expand with new bosses and environments added over time, so here's hoping that we might get a glimpse of Outrise before the year is out.
What do you think of the concept of Outrise so far?

Isn't that the regular price for this bundle?
@zuiquan: No, it has been 30.
I just bought this last night, UGH!
Ya, I bought this a month or so ago and I haven't even really played Borderlands or gotten to the DLC
When I bought the game I only paid 20 bucks for it at GameStop
I'm hoping they'll offer a similar discount for the PS3 version. I'd jump all over that!
@kleerfyre: Last time I bought a hamburger, it was $5.
How much is tea in China right now?
Also, considering they just gave CoC for free, this isn't much of a deal.
In case you're a BL2 on PC owner: $20 for the same pass on Steam.
