With yesterday's surprising news about Amazon acquiring Killer Instinct developer Double Helix, the future of the Xbox One launch title seemed uncertain at first.
Hit the jump to find out what they had to say on the matter.
Not too sure how this is going to turn out, for better or worse I suppose, but at least we can assume more KI content will happen.
Ya, DH did a great job with season 1. Hopefully whatever follows can match the quality of whats already out there.
Maybe the success of the season 1 will allow for a more comprehensive release
Wow lol changing devs already? This is gonna be interesting.
Twitch.tv/catnip_her0 24/7 Injustice ps3/KI open lobby check it out.
Hopefully the new developer will do a better design of the characters in season 2 only really enjoyed 2 of the characters (long as they make TJ Combo and Cinder good then I'll take back any negative things i didn't like about the game)
It's going to be interesting to say the least. I trust in Ken Lobb and his ability to pick a good developer. It's his baby after all
Oh man, hope it works out I really like KI and its the reason why I wanted xbox one day one. Guess we have to wait and see how this goes.
I think alot of this is probably about expediting the development process. I have positive and negative feelings towards the new KI, but they move like snails.
Hmm, whoever the other partner is, I hope it doesn't just end how glorious Killer Instinct is, its amazingly balanced right now with Double Helix and I don't want it to be ruined.
God could be developing it and it still wouldn't be consistent. Two artists painting one picture is going to be one f*cked up picture.
I'm generally not one to rush to judgment, but thanks Microsoft, for f*cking up another franchise. Your developer gave the IP the respect it deserves, why can't you? It's a f*cking miracle the content we got was as great as it was, given the criminally short development time MS gave them.
I'm not too worried, Everyone worried about Halo: MS buys half of bungie and makes 343. Gears same thing. I foresee a big hiring spree of KI guys from DH. Not worried.
yeah that's true...but halo and gears are microsoft's BnB of course they gonna put they all in keeping it alive...this company don't really support fighters for long trust ...I do hope I'm wrong though.
Eh... shooters are a different story than fighting games. They're more formulaic. More cut and paste. Creating a new gun ain't the same as creating a new character in a fighter. Halo has way more foundation to work off of. This Killer Instinct is an art that lives inside the heads of Double Helix.
How is any of that MS's fault?? Amazon bought DH and probably told DH they cannot work on season 2. MS gets a "new dev team" and the game was built 1/2 MS Team 1/2 DH if you didn't know, all the MS guys are still there. Amazon buying DH is not MS fault. Also shooters require just as much balancing as a fighter, map movement, team placement, vantage spots, both games are a work of art and don't write off a genre because you think a fighting game is harder. It isn't, they are about equal.
Also Roshinobi, MS has said that the game is a big hit and they are very happy with the outcome, the fact that they own Rare means they were sitting on this for a while, This is a new baby too them.
How is it MS's fault? They contracted DH to make a game and gave them a ridiculously short window for development. Then they miss the opportunity to actually buy the company and let them finish what they started.
And yes, fighting games are much deeper and more difficult to make than shooters. They're NOT equal. Not by a f*cking long shot. The core of a shooter is very defined and simple. Mechanics in a fighting game are far more diverse and require far more creativity. There's a reason you can jump into any shooter and feel at home... because so few actually dare to innovate in the genre. They've become extremely formulaic... and I f*cking guarantee you, balancing 2 fighting game characters is far more difficult than balancing every gun in Halo.
Hey I hear ya bro...like I said I wanna be wrong....I 'm really loving this game right now....but if I can give u one example of when dev team part ways with company's and fighting games look at what happen with the dev team that developed ps-all stars for sony....those extra characters and content that sony promised will still be worked on and released never saw the light of day...that's why I say game company's don't really support first party fighters for long...Nintendo is excluded because they fighter consist of their mascots and ip.
You need to do 2 things : Lay off the rage pills and take a deep breath.
Shooters are not the same, you can be at home in any fighter too, Chris G much? They use the same mechanic, you fight people. Your just being biased and getting nowhere. Also let me ask you a question, before KI what did Double Helix make that was worth anything, everyone doubted MS before KI released because DH was a bad studio, no argument, If I was MS I wouldn't have bought them either, 1 good game, hell 1 GREAT Game does not mean you should buy a company that made tons of potatoes in the past. MS gave DH a deadline, DH went and playtested the game a ton, which they were given the freedom too do so, had they not done that the game wouldn't be as balanced however we would have a full game, I'm fine with how things turned out and don't blame MS or DH on that matter.
As I also stated, KI was made 1/2 MS Team, 1/2 DH, the MS guys are still there, Ken Lobb among them. I see them hiring a few, probably F.Rich too be sure, and continue KI. I'm not worried and the internet being up in arms won't change a thing, MS has always been great with the exclusives they get and keeping them alive and pretty fresh. Far better than most companies in my opinion short of maybe nintendo. I would also love too see and informative post from you that doesn't include rage, cursing, or overall fallback on (MS FAULT!!!)
ooooooh nooooooo... this is definitely not "Good" news. there's so many questions surrounding this... it's scary. and it's gonna take more information till the majority of people feel even remotely ok about it.
I can't even take you seriously. Chris G? Really? One... do you think even 0.01% of the people that play fighting games are anywhere near as good as Chris G? No. Two... do you honestly thinks he just picks them up and plays them at his level? No. At the very least, I hope you don't, 'cause at that point, you're just a sad joke. If you honestly think you can pick up any fighter and play it like you can today's shooters, then there's really no point in talking to you. That's just flat out ignorant.
For the record, I never doubted the new KI. I never doubted Double Helix. From the second this game was announced, I only sung its praises. I lobbied that Double Helix had never been given a fair shot at developing a game and had always been under the ugly restrictions of licensed games.
Finally, don't mistake my cursing and talking down to you as rage. I just don't have any respect for you. MS has been great with exclusives? Banjo-Kazooie and Conker are laughing in your face right now. My posts could be a f*cking encyclopedia of information, but I'm sure with you, the words would bounce off you like a brick wall. As a matter of fact, you're just a waste of time at this point. Why do you go spend hours learning the vastly varied intricacies of the new Wolfenstein and Halo, because they boast so much variety in gameplay.
So your saying that you AVG.Joe can compete at high level halo 4 and CoD:Ghosts, you would be wrong, you just won't step back and admit that you are wrong on that front, all games have fundamentals that are similar too other games on the genre and that is the nature of it.The way fighting games are different isn't any harder than the way shooters or DOTA2 V LOL are different. And fine we won't use Chris G, FChamp, PR Rog, Jwong, All good because of fundamentals which are in every fighter, see where I am going here. All games that are one genre have a similar chemistry, an idea. You can't argue fact.
I did, look at DH's track record, It's a good reason too doubt. Once again, 1 game, would not buy.
You literally pick those two while ignoring the ones that they do right on a good number of occasions like Fable, Halo, Gears. I'm not mistaking it for rage, it is rage, like a bronze V in LoL you can't look at the big picture. And you keep ignoring the fact that KI was a JOINT PRODUCTION, with the MS in house studio. They aren't losing 100% of the team. KI will be fine, KI will be at EVO, It's all going to be ok, the world isn't ending, take a breath child, it will be ok.
WOAH WOAH WOAH. Let's get one thing straight Fighting game lovers. Halo 4 is NOT, I repeat NOT, a good thing. The moment Bungie left and MS decided to sell out the franchise to 343, (as is always the case with greedy companies) Halo went downhill with a ridiculous CoD copy and paste style and a dull tablet/phone game. I realize this is mostly a FGC site so not everyone may be informed of this little fact, so I just wanted to clear that up for you guys.
i dont care! i just wanted to wait for the possible success of KI. everything one have seen oder heard about that game is good to stellar (netcode /dojo /training room /visuals and coolness). and i refuse to wait any longer to buy that XBoxOne (only for one single game named "Killer Instinct") just to wait how things turn out and "if its still worth it to invest in this game under recent circumstances". HELL YEAH dammit. i want to give them my money because i want that effin game! it has soo much potential in so many regards, its insane!
Paid XBone is coming monday via amazon (weired relations), no matter what.
if KI gets dropped in the future, i can sell the console then, for now "take my money!" MS, never loved you, it might change =)
time will tell
They should pull a Capcom and just hire Dimps to work on the game... it already has a lot of Street Fighter elements in it.
Even better they should track down the ex Rare staff that made the original and make it a proper Killer Instinct 3.
KI ftw
Dude, stop cursing so much. Geez... O.O
And like its already been pointed out not ALL of the Dev team was DH. A good chunk of the KI devs are also in house with Microsoft. We havent lost ALL the original ideas.
I was ending all my sentences in curse words way before Jessie Pinkman, bitch.
Lol. I'm pretty educated my friend, it seems your arguments have run out of steam, without swearing you go to attack my intelligence. Let me guess, your from 4chan? That would be my bet.
Regardless KI will be fine.
This is such a piss off because they had a huge story already set up. Also i feel sorry for everyone in double helix because this was their one brilliant project. The only thing that was a bit better then mediocre they did was sh: homecoming which was highly argued over about being good or not.
thx Church0070 for your words =)
I can't see this as good news... Unless this new dev team consists of Dave, Mike, Rich, Bau, and Patrick, chances are the game will end up very different.
The DHG guys have an exceptional grasp on fighting game character design, and have done an excellent job. Hopefully the MS Studios team can hold it down, and this new team really just builds off of what we already have.
As a plus side, maybe this will mean we'll see content released a bit more frequently. Only time will tell, I suppose.
Intelligence is a strong word to describe what you have. I'd say it's more like baseless opinions. Tell me, what it's your experience in game design again? Jack sh*t? Yea, sounds about right.
Ahh, the personal attacks again! Oh no, I'm being cyber bullied, someone please help, I disagree with his opinions so I must be an idiot! The all knowing AugustAPC must be right, Senpai please notice me!! Oh and cursing again lol.
Also dreamking,I do hope we get more content but lets be real, every patch post launch has had major bugs, DH hasn't exactly been great in the post launch dept. and while they do listen too us they have broken so much with patches that I can't help but think a new team will do a bit better with this.
as an outsider, i think DH did a very good job with this game. im much more excited to see what other new fighting game IP's DH could make than what some other ms hired studio decides to do with this particular franchise. ive got no attachment to jago etc. but im psyched to see a new american dev doing creative stuff.
hope we get to see more from them.
I reiterate: sounds about right.
Thanks for the laughs. I'll try not to forget you too fast.
Their new Strider game comes out in a little over a week. I'm optimistic.
Oh I won't I'll try to remember too shout you out when I top 8 Final Round.
Oh no the sky is falling! Seriously though why do we always panic lets have a wait and see approach. When it was announced DH was working on a new KI the same thing was happening people doubted them from the start. To many times we get caught up worrying about the past or the future. Since we can't change the past or predict the future lets relax till we get our hands on the new content from a new developer.
If it's released and it's bad then we can complain. Complaining/whining now is pointless and you guys remind me of those people trashing the new KI even though they haven even played it. First it was DH has no business making a fighting game and now it's the next developer taking over DH is going to ruin everything. Gotta love the dramatic ass FGC. I'm not saying all will be fine but I'll save my opinion once I've played what the next developer has released.
Just keep in mind if DH could make a solid fighting game then what's to say another developer couldn't. He'll the foundation is already there it's not like they have work from the ground up. What if they actually improve the game but knowing this stubborn ass community well never admit it. For right now just hope we get more characters and lobbies. We should start slow with our expectations and work from there.
I think people misunderstood something. The Microsoft team may not be developers. They are more likely project managers, directors and other management roles. The grunt work that is usually done by developers and was most likely outsourced to Double Helix.
What this means is that the vision for the game will remain but the technical skills will depend on the this new developmental partner.
Also expect delays to season 2 if it gets approved at all and the rest of season 1 to be rushed out as double Helix would want to cut all old ties fast.
Lol you have to be kidding me right? Right?
Guy doesn't even know that KI3 was made by 20 people.
So you want Crytek UK and Rare to reamke KI3?
I would argue that they're an apples to oranges comparison.
Played it and it's ok. It doesn't have the magic of Killer Instinct 1. It's average at best, it looks amazing I'll give it that. Don't like the character designs, they were better in Killer Instinct 1!
Also I have PS4 so won't even play the game and that goes for at least half the FGC!
Nope, KI was the only reason I bought an xbone at launch. The system itself, upcoming titles, and more and more, the thing doesn't stand a chance against the PS4. Double Helix abandoned the project, Microsoft continues to step on its own feet, XBOX is a doomed brand. I will be selling mine immediately and getting a ps4 no doubt in my mind
DH wasn't known for making any real solid games before KI was even released and I myself was skeptical at first when I found out it was them making the game. Also I'd hold in to your xbox one for now and i plan on getting a PS4 when there's games I want for it. Either the exception of the metal gear game and destiny (both which will also be in Xbox one but I'd rather buy them on PS4) there really isn't a reason for me to own a PS4.
The first year just like the PS3 looks bleak especially if your a fan of fighting games. I'll be owning all 3 consoles just like last gen and why not wait for more KI content before you jump ship all dramatic like. The worst thing you could do is sell your Xbox one only to want to buy it again to play those exclusive titles like KI. PS4 might be selling better but just look up the xbox ons sales believe me it's far from a doomed brand.
Any bit of bad or disappointing news shouldn't be the end of the world.
Dang. And after all this time it took for Double Helix to prove themselves to the gaming community that they can make great games and hit records, here comes the big wigs and the bags o money and promises of fortune and fame. I hope the new guys are as creative, flexible and knowledgeable as DH. This can go from awesome to ugly reeeeal quick. Man why not just let Rare take over? Let loose the chains Microsoft, sheesh.
I agree, but its just dumb because Microsoft has been dropping the ball lately. It wasn't until a year or so ago that I realized the Xbox brand is just an after thought. They believed in it, but something happened during the 360's prime, a lot of people bought PS3's and Microsoft just gave up in my opinion. It's not about the gamer, it's about making as much money as quickly as possible no matter who gets pissed on
Remember people this could also be bad for DH just look what Microsoft did with rare and lets not forget the games DH worked in before KI. Also Rare taking back over really would matter most of the team that worked on games in the past left years ago. Lets just try to be positive and hope for the best. Keep in mind if DH could make a solid fighting game like KI then there's still hope. I wish DH the best on there future endeavors and hope for the best for KI moving forward.
No Microsoft does things a bit different and at the end of the day mind of them our are friends they just want our money. So when Microsoft teases a new console they try to support it full force pretty much giving up support for there past console. Sony on the other hand with the PS3 had a horrible start it took about two years before they had a decent library of games and for those first two years we were stickers with a blu ray player.
Sony however finished very strong with the PS3 and the whole blu ray player just like the PS2 DVD player finally took off. See a lot of our first DVD players were PS2's and a lot of our current blu ray players are PS3's. Sony has made some bone head moves in the past like the PS3's architecture and so has Microsoft with there initial policies that were cancelled. I do wish Microsoft would've bought out DH but honestly from a business standpoint what has DH done besides KI?
On top of that you don't think there's other developers out there also wanting to privd themselves? Wait it out and if KI truly does end up disappointing when the new seveloper takes over then se your Xbox one. Besides we always tend to get ripped off for used consoles I'll probably upgrade and give my current version to a family member later on. Just trying to be the voice of reason before you might make a mistake you regret later on. Besides I'm waiting for my favorite KI character Fulgore:).
No i appreciate your comments. A lot of people would be offended and I see where you are coming from. It just sucks. I couldn't care less about DH but the game itself is the big worry
No doubt about it but as dumb as some companies are success dictates keep doing the same thing. Case in point the COD games. DH although they made a great foundation also stumbled along the way with issues with KI most recently with this whole jail debacle. Don't worry yourself it's pointless until we've played the what the new developer has done and then we can truly criticize. Also as I stated and I hope everyone reads this DH was pretty mich a joke developer before KI.
Thing is DH had an opportunity and seized it. The next developer might be a company that many of is think is a joke just like we thought about DH initially but we should be kind enough to let them prove themselves. All I want is for people to give them a chance before we start calling them the developers who ruined KI.
Never I hope.
This game probably would have done a lot better if it was on 360 too.
Offer still standing???
They should sell Killer Instinct to Sony.
Microsoft wouldn't sell and Sony wouldn't buy it. Besides after Playstaion all stay battle royal I don't have much faith in Sony either.
I totally forgot about that game. I didn't even want to play All Stars for PS3. You're right, they probably wouldn't do anything to make it any better. I just wouldn't mind if it was released to PS4 too. I rather have that system. Now if Capcom were to pick it up...
The partner is SNK.
This seems fitting...
Hey guys :), I did a bit of research in the matter and found this, http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=..., hopefully it'll ease the minds of those whose as equally passionate about KI as I am
DH did a good job with what they were given. I respect them for that but that new theme is horrible. It's just the chorus of the original and it's dubstepped out dropping the bass. the one thing they couldn't do is improve on the original theme song. it was a good run.
Microsoft KI RIP 11/22/13-2/5/14
Here's something you guys haven't considered:
MS: "We remain dedicated to delivering a great experience and plan to announce our new development partner soon."
Capcom: "We intend to reaffirm our presence in the fighting genre in 2014"
KI Announcer: "Awesome Combo!"
What most people in here overlooked
"We want all of our loyal fans to know that the Killer Instinct team at Microsoft IS NOT CHANGING and that the franchise will remain with Microsoft Studios."
You were all duped by microsoft... after their marketing nightmare with the release of the xbone and the always on drm fiasco they knew the only way to sell early life units was to announce and rush KI out the gate with the system so all the FGC would eat it up... you all got Xboned!
There is however some reasonings I can give that would make this situation happen.
#1 Double Helix failed in production of the game as to the amount of content that was to be prepared for the release date.
Story mode missing, along with a non completed roster spinal/fulgore possibly among other DLC that was not prepared in time for launch.
#2 Relatively low ratings on websites/reviewers despite it being a decent game that the developers made in the small frame they had.
Even though to trained FGC eyes we can see its greatness. However, a normal reviewer would not see this and tear this game up for its lack of modes when compared to other fighting games.
FGC is actually quite small compared to other gaming communities, so I don't think I agree about "only way to sell early units".
It's no doubt that KI was a rush job, but it's the best darn rush job I've seen as far as FGs go. The lack of story mode goes hand in hand with lack of characters but it cannot be denied KI is a commercial success.
What's more DHG didn't do anything wrong, they were simply bought out. I don't think it had anything to do with their work on KI.
edit: double negative
Sorry to say, its already dead, it just doesn't know it yet!
Well, uhh, Ken Lobb and two other people from the original 6 man team for KI worked on the new KI. So, uhh, that's what you had.
And this IS a proper KI. This wasn't something that was crapped out that barely had any details go into the systems used. It's incredibly involved and downright genius how each of the current cast play. KI was never known for having good mechanics or being a smart persons fighter where the new KI is an intelligent game of intelligent decision making and conditioning opponents
Hey, I like that theme but only due to it's nostalgia and not because it's technically impressive. All of the new music was done by Mick Gordon and the man is amazing. The old KI music is a product of it's time and while good it's not something you could listen to and be impressed by today unless you just really dig old sounding digital music which was extremely limited back then.
I don't know if this is as bad as some people are making it out to be. As long as designs had been drawn up, and plans were in motion, I don't see why this new studio couldn't do a solid job picking up where DH left off. Hopefully there will be enough key figures hanging around to keep everything running smoothly. It is possible that things may be a little bumpy at first, but as long as Microsoft is committed to smoothing the growing pains out, I am sure everything will turn out relatively well. We just need to wait and see. It certainly isn't all sunshine and gumdrops, but it is also WAY too early to jump to doom and gloom.

Well, as I often do, it comes late to mind that the Yahoo Groups part
and the hort.net archives are two separate things. You were right
about being able to delete from the Yahoo archives. But that wasn't
very helpful since those archives don't store the photo anyway. It
did not give the option of editing the messages that I could see. So
unless the delete followed Yahoo into the hort.net archives and
deleted there, it won't help what's in the archives. As for sending
large files, since the original transmission goes via Yahoo and then
to the archives the size limit would have to be in Yahoo to save large
files from hitting mailboxes anyway. If the Yahoo Group rejected the
file as too large, I'm assuming that in itself would prevent it from
going to the hort.net archives.
Sigh.....I think I'm getting a headache. Maybe better if I just don't
post. No thinking, no worry, no problems.

Major IndyGo projects often receive federal financial assistance through USDOT and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). IndyGo administers the program in accordance with 49 CFR Part 26.
DBE Goal Determination
Every three years, IndyGo proposes a DBE goal for all federally assisted contract expenditures. The proposed overall DBE goal is calculated using a methodology approved by the FTA that considers the availability of ready, willing and able DBE firms to perform the work required on contracts IndyGo expects to award during a three-year period, as compared to the overall availability of firms to perform such work. IndyGo's overall DBE goal for the period 2014 – 2016 is 15%.
Before seeking bids on a contract, IndyGo carefully examines the specific subcontracting opportunities in the contract and the number of DBE firms available in each subcontracting category. Those considerations lead to a DBE goal for that contract. DBE goals will vary from contract to contract.
A bidder who proposes to use DBE firms as subcontractors is required to respond to contract solicitations with specific information and documentation concerning proposed DBE firm participation. A bidder is expected to make his best effort to meet the DBE contract goal. When a bidder is unable to meet the established DBE goal, it is required that he document certain and specific "good faith efforts". A bidder who fails to properly address DBE program requirements may be deemed non-responsive and ineligible for award of the contract.
2017 – 2019 DBE Goal
In accordance with 49 CFR Part 26, the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation, also known as IndyGo, has established its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goal for the federal fiscal years of 2017 through 2019. IndyGo's goal will be 10%.
The proposed overall goal and its rationale are available for public inspection during the normal business hours of 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM, Monday – Friday, at IndyGo's administrative offices, 1501 W. Washington Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222.
IndyGo will accept written comments regarding this proposed goal through June 30, 2016. IndyGo's FFY 2017-2019 goal may be adjusted as comments are received and considered. Phone calls regarding the goal will not be accepted. All comments must be in writing. Inquiries or comments may be directed to the following:
Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation
Attention: Pam White
1501 W. Washington Street
Indianapolis, IN 46222
DBE Certification
Only the participation of firms certified as DBE companies by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) can be counted towards the satisfaction of the DBE goal on a contract.
Learn more about DBE qualification and certification.
Check out the directory of currently certified DBE firms.

Lenovo Unveils ThinkPad T430u Ultrabook, ThinkPad X1 Hybrid with x86/ARM Mashup
Brandon Hill
January 5, 2012 12:01 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Lenovo adds two new ThinkPad models to the mix
ThinkPad X1 was introduced in May 2011
, and the company now is readying an innovative follow-up: the ThinkPad X1 Hybrid. The 13.3-inch ThinkPad X1 Hybrid is built around Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 processor and Windows 7. In addition, the ThinkPad X1 includes Gorilla Glass, Dolby Home Theater v4 audio, HDMI-out, Intel Wireless Display technology, and Rapid Charge technology that allows the notebook to reach an 80 percent charge in a quick 30 minutes.
However, the most interesting part of the laptop comes courtesy of its "Hybrid" nomenclature. The ThinkPad X1 Hybrid includes a secondary
Qualcomm dual-core ARM processor
and 16GB of flash storage. This Instant Media Mode (IMM) allows a user to enter an Android-based environment for multimedia playback, web browsing, and productivity work (i.e. working on documents and spreadsheets).
ThinkPad X1 Hybrid
Users can access the IMM by clicking on an icon from within the Windows 7 environment. While this seems like unnecessary added complexity and cost to us -- the original ThinkPad X1 had a base price of $1,399; the ThinkPad X1 Hybrid starts at $1,599 -- Lenovo points out that battery life doubles from five hours to ten hours when operating in IIM.
But the ThinkPad X1 Hybrid isn't' the only new notebook on Lenovo's radar screen. Intel's nascent "Ultrabook" platform is the chipmaker's attempt to strike back at the popularity of Apple's thin and light MacBook Air lineup. Not surprisingly, many of Intel's hardware partners --
including Lenovo
-- have jumped on the Ultrabook bandwagon. While Lenovo's first entry was under the consumer-centric IdeaPad umbrella, its latest Ultrabook is for the business-oriented ThinkPad family,
The new ThinkPad T430u weighs less than four pounds, features an aluminum lid, and is less the 0.8-inches thick. Predictably, the ThinkPad T430u is available with Intel's latest Core processor and can be had with either Intel integrated graphics or more powerful NVIDIA graphics solutions.
ThinkPad T430u
When it comes to other hardware specs, Lenovo is keeping relatively mum until Monday, January 9 at CES 2012. The only additional details that we have are that up to a 1TB HDD can be ordered and SSDs will be optional. In addition, the ThinkPad T430u will last up to 6 hours on a charge.
The ThinkPad T430u will have a starting price of $849 and should quickly escalate once popular options like SSDs are added.
"The ThinkPad X1 Hybrid and T430u Ultrabook represent the next generation in thin and light computing," said Dilip Bhatia, vice president, ThinkPad Business Unit, Lenovo. "From small businesses that literally live their business on the road to corporate professionals working in a managed environment, these new crossover laptops fundamentally change the way people think about mobile computing technology."
"Mac OS X is like living in a farmhouse in the country with no locks, and Windows is living in a house with bars on the windows in the bad part of town." -- Charlie Miller

As grocery stores morphed into ever-larger supermarkets, San Francisco's Bi-Rite Market took a different path, surviving during the '70s and '80s by meeting local demand for unhealthy snacks and fortified wines and transforming during the '90s under brothers Sam and Raphael Mogannam into a market boasting local produce, grass-fed beef and wines that are true to their nature. The retailer has grown from $2 million in sales in 1998 to $20 million last year, and Bi-Rite will open a second store this month.

Discoveries on brain mechanisms have really taken off. Modern optical and new MRI technologies give insight in this spectacular organ, especially in the field of vision. Of mutual benefit are new developments in deep learning and neural network modeling, the mathematical understanding, and the availability of massively parallel computing power. The lecture will address a number of lessons to learn from the brain for medical computer-aided diagnosis, explain the mathematical intuition of a number of algorithms, and show some remarkable successes booked so far.

Joyce Westerink (1960) was originally trained as a physicist and afterwards expanded her horizon towards human-technology. She is affiliated with Philips Research (NL), where her research focuses on psychological topics in a technological context, such as visual perception & image quality, human factors & user interfaces, and more recently psychophysiology in the context of emotions, wellbeing and affective computing. She currently holds a chair on Wellbeing and Psychophysiology in Human-Technology Interaction at Eindhoven University of Technology. Written output of her work can be found in some 40 articles in books and international journals, and some15 US patents and patent applications.
Wellbeing is of importance to all of us, yet it is under constant pressure in our 24/7 economy. Our mental state is reflected to some extent in bodily parameters like heart rate and skin conductance, and we can measure them in real life using wearable sensing technology. Therefore, the hope is that such psychophysiological measurements might help us find an optimal balance in our busy lives. The lecture will discuss a number of promising application areas. Among them is bringing stress awareness through monitoring physiology, e.g. showing a user his stress pattern as it develops over the day. Another use of the psychophysiological signals is for biofeedback, so that a user is optimally guided in specific relaxation exercises. By placing the user in the center of a closed optimization loop we might achieve such improvements in a completely effortless way. Finally, psychophysiological signals can also facilitate communication between persons, for instance allowing people to see whether they are in sync.

Kristina Höök is a professor in Interaction Design at the Royal Institute of Technology and also works part-time at SICS (Swedish Institute of Computer Science). She is the director of the Mobile Life centre. Höök has published numerous journal papers, books and book chapters, and conference papers in highly renowned venues. A frequent keynote speaker, she is known for her work on social navigation, seamfulness, mobile services, affective interaction and lately, designing for bodily engagement in interaction through somaesthetics. Her competence lies mainly in interaction design and user studies helping to form design. She has obtained numerous national and international grants, awards, and fellowships including the Cor Baayen Fellowship by ERCIM (European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics), the INGVAR award and she is an ACM Distinguished Scientist. She has been listed as one of the 50 most influential IT-women in Sweden every year since 2008. She is an elected member of Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA).
In designing for bodily experiences, there has been a lack of theories that can provide the underpinnings we need to understand and deepen our design thinking. Despite all the work we have seen on designing for embodiment, the actual corporeal, pulsating, live, felt body has been notably absent from both theory and practical work. At the same time, digital products have become an integral part of the fabric of everyday life, the pleasures (and pains) they give, their contribution to our social identity, or their general aesthetics are now core features of their design. We see more and more attempts to design explicitly for bodily experiences with digital technology, but it is a notably challenging design task. With the advent of new technologies, such as biosensors worn on your body, interactive clothes, or wearable computers such as mobiles equipped with accelerometers, a whole space of possibilities for gesture-based, physical and body-based interaction is opened. How can we do a better job in interaction design involving our bodies? I will discuss how Shusterman's theories of somaesthetics might provide some inspiration, and the need to focus on actuation rather than sensing.

Dr. Bethany Bracken, is a Senior Scientist at Charles River Analytics. Throughout her career, Dr. Bracken has used a variety of behavioral, physiological, cognitive, molecular, and neuroimaging methodologies in both humans and animals to answer questions about the neurobiology of behavior. At Charles River, she currently works on projects using neurophysiological and physiological sensing methods to assess human states such as stress, focused attention, and cognitive workload and to predict upcoming performance deficits to allow time to enact augmentation strategies to optimize that performance. Dr. Bracken has a B.S. in Psychology from Clarion University of Pennsylvania, and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Brandeis University. Before joining Charles River Analytics, Dr. Bracken completed a postdoctoral fellowship, quickly followed with a promotion to the faculty level, in the department of Psychiatry at McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Across many careers, individuals face alternating periods of high and low attention and cognitive workload, which can result in impaired cognitive functioning and can be detrimental to job performance. For example, some professions (e.g., fire fighters, emergency medical personnel, doctors and nurses working in an emergency room, pilots) require long periods of low workload (boredom), followed by sudden, high-tempo operations during which they may be required to respond to an emergency and perform at peak cognitive levels. Conversely, other professions (e.g., air traffic controllers, market investors in financial industries, analysts) require long periods of high workload and multitasking during which the addition of just one more task results in cognitive overload resulting in mistakes.An unobtrusive system to measure, assess, and predict cognitive workload could warn individuals, their teammates, or their supervisors when steps should be taken to augment cognitive readiness. In this talk I will describe an approach to this problem that we have found to be successful across work domains includes: (1) a suite of unobtrusive, field-ready neurophysiological, physiological, and behavioral sensors that are chosen to best suit the target environment; (2) custom algorithms and statistical techniques to process and time-align raw data originating from the sensor suite; (3) probabilistic and statistical models designed to interpret the data into the human state of interest (e.g., cognitive workload, attention, fatigue); (4) and machine-learning techniques to predict upcoming performance based on the current pattern of events, and (5) display of each piece of information depending on the needs of the target user who may or may not want to drill down into the functioning of the system to determine how conclusions about human state and performance are determined. I will then focus in on our experimental results from our custom functional near-infrared spectroscopy sensor, designed to operate in real-world environments to be worn comfortably (e.g., positioned into a baseball cap or a surgeon's cap) to measure changes in brain blood oxygenation without adding burden to the individual being assessed.

Scotland skipper Kelly Brown is confident a once debilitating stammer will have no bearing on his ability to lead his side.
Scotland skipper Kelly Brown is confident a once debilitating stammer will have no bearing on his ability to lead the side in this season's Six Nations.
The 31-year-old Saracens flanker still puts himself through a routine of daily early morning breathing exercises in a bid to get on top of the problem.
While traces of his condition remain evident, Brown had no trouble making himself understood at Wednesday's Six Nations launch in London, having hit something close to rock bottom in 2010.
Indeed his most pressing issue ahead of Scotland's tournament opener against Ireland in Dublin on February 2 is retaining the number seven shirt in the face of competition from Chris Fusaro, with coach Scott Johnson saying form, not rank, will seal Brown's place in the starting side.
"I find I don't stammer when I shout, and I tend to shout quite a lot on the pitch," Brown said.
"I know it's part of me and all of the players know it's something I'm working on.
"It's something I will continue to work on and I work on every single day.
"I get up in the morning and I do my breathing exercises. But I know if I can do that and I can put in the work, I know that most of the time I'll be in control of my speech.
"In the 2010 Six Nations I was asked if I could do an interview right at the start, and it was so bad that I actually phoned and asked if that interview could never be shown.
"That was really the final straw, I said, 'right I need to do something about this'.
"I never wanted my stammer to be an excuse for why I couldn't do something."
An admiring Johnson added: "I've been asked what inspires me, and it's people who overcome some kind of adversity. This kid's an inspiration, to do that.
"It's not a massive adversity compared to others, granted, but to stand up in front of people every day and for him to speak, that inspires me, it's a good thing."
Johnson, using a typically vivid phrase, said he was keen to increase Scotland's playing depth during the Six Nations if he possibly could, but not at any cost.
"We'll always make sure they are equipped to do it physically: we don't want to go to a gunfight with a water pistol," he said.

Coraline algae tips (on glass)
Does anyone here have recommendations to keep purple/coraline algae from growing on my glass? I'm scraping it off with a razorblade, but would like to not have to do this. It reforms pretty quick.
Nope, bigger razor blades. =) It grows where it will.
Now you know why some people are ok with no Coralline growing in thier tank. Some consider it a nuisance algae.
If you clean your glass periodically, it will prevent the coraline algae from establishing itself there. I use my mag-float every three days, no algae on class but where I cannot get.
Thanks Metal and Wake. I need to start that. I have one, but don't use it. I appreciate the advise. I do notice that it won't take off coraline that is already there, but you have a good point, in using it to prevent it from starting :-D

Raven hair frames the face of an angel.
A gentle smile creates a vision of wonder.
Her face seems to glow from within.
And her eyes, beautiful green eyes
To which nature holds no equal.
Any jade would pale in comparison.
No emerald could match their sparkle.
Her expression reveals the face
Of passion, love, and desire.
O beautiful angel,
May good fortune follow you
As you chase your dreams.

Season 2 of the Overtime podcast is here! Listen to the first episode with Meg Robichaud now.
We have been working really hard on a new app from Collective Ray which requires Location Services.
We needed an solution for when Location Services has been disabled. So I re-created the steps (in icon form). These icons are super close to native (with a bit of the app's personality).
I started off making the top ones because I thought they would look cool...they do, but they look like buttons to tap, and that's not what we want. So, I went with a flatter version.
This is retina, so, the @2x is actually @4x.

The Edmonton Oilers have been connected to the Boston Bruins many times since 1979. Some very famous playoff series, a few trades of note and the two clubs have some executives in common over the years, too. This week, the two teams have been associated with trade talks involving names like Ryan Whitney and Ales Hemsky.
Is there a match? What could Boston offer?
Jason Gregor
March 28 2013 12:49PM
According to sportsclubstats.com the Oilers have an 8% chance of making the playoffs. Before the St. Louis game it was 4%, so the good news for Oilers fans is that your chances of watching a playoff game at Rexall Place has improved in the last 48 hours. However, the site gives the Blue Jackets a 10% chance, even though the Jackets suck on the road (3-9-2) and play 10 of their remaining 15 games on the road. So use the % at your own discretion.
Either way, both teams are longshots to make the playoffs, but if the Oilers want to keep their faint hopes alive they must beat the Blue Jackets; one of the four teams between them and 8th place.
If the Oilers are going to trade a right wing…
Jonathan Willis
March 28 2013 12:00PM
The Oilers have three excellent right wings on the team right now; in terms of depth, no position is stronger. Jordan Eberle, Ales Hemsky and Nail Yakupov are all excellent skill players, and in a perfect world the Oilers would keep all of them. Unfortunately, as the team's record shows, the Oilers aren't a perfect team and it seems entirely plausible that they will move one of these players to address problems elsewhere on the roster.
So who goes?

The 2013 NHL trade deadline is next Wednesday at 1 p.m. MST, and the next week will be great for those who love trade rumours. One rumour got squashed yesterday when it was reported that Mikka Kiprusoff would not report to his new team if the Calgary Flames traded him, which of course was met by laughter amongst Edmonton fans.
Thankfully there are many other rumblings, rumours and potential deals floating around.
What will the Oilers do?
Robin Brownlee
March 26 2013 09:49PM
I believe it was Momma Gump who said, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get." Forrest's mom must have had the Edmonton Oilers in mind when she coined that bit of wisdom.

This review is from: Lenovo Laptop IdeaPad Z710 (59406361) Intel Core i7 4th Gen 4700MQ (2.40 GHz) 16 GB, DDR3L, 1600 MHz (2 x 8GB) Memory 1 TB HDD 8 GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce GT 745M 17.3" Windows 8.1
Pros: Laptop is powerful and inexpensive for what you get. The Core i7 is a fast and excellent processor. The 16 GB of ram is fantastic. The dedicated graphics care performs well, and it's nice having full 1080p graphics on the display. And I love having a backlit keyboard - I will never purchase a laptop without it again.
Cons: Starting from the least annoying to the most annoying...
The display definitely has a weird viewing angle to it. I feel like the best angle is about 110 degrees, which seems unusual, and literally built to use on a lap rather than sitting on a desk or table.
It's loaded with bloatware that you simply are never going to use. That coupled with the pre-installed McAffee seems to really slow down the system. It feels slower than a system I built 2 years ago and put Windows 8.1 on. I expected an 8 GB SSD to make this faster, but it simply drags on boot-up. I haven't tried gutting all the bloatware to see if it improves performance or not. Simply put, you're probably better off wiping the drive and installing a fresh copy of Windows 8.1.
The battery on this laptop is simply not good. It's far too underpowered for the system, as I only seem to get about 2 hours of battery life if I'm lucky. And, lets face it, if I bought a powerful laptop just to run it in power save mode, I might as well have bought a cheaper laptop, so that's not a solution.
But the worst part of the system is that my laptop will NOT power on unless I plug the system in. I may have a defective system that's not able to detect the battery status, but when the system isn't plugged into the power outlet I cannot power on the machine even with full battery charge. When I plug it in, it powers on just fine and I can unplug it then. Really odd behavior.
Other Thoughts: I would probably rate it a 3.5 maybe even 4 stars is the power-on bug didn't exist, but it's ridiculous that I can't power the machine on without plugging it in. That bug alone is giving me buyer's remorse.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) DirectX 11 GV-N550D5-1GI 1GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Pros: Performs well, plays all modern games and produces a quality picture on my 50" 1080P TV screen.
Cons: There's an issue with this card performing a 'handshake' with HDMI devices. When I connect the card to my TV or an HDMI monitor (or DVI-D on the card to an HDMI monitor/TV) in Win7, I often hear the chime to tell me it's connected but will get no picture. I have to physically unplug the monitor from the card then plug it back in, sometimes several times, before I actually get a picture. Every time I change the "Input Selection" to a different AV source on my TV, then switch back to the PC source again I have to do this all over again - disconnect it, reconnect it, rinse, repeat. Same thing happens with my TV as with an HDMI monitor I have, and when connected via the HDMI port or the DVI-D port. It's a handshake issue, as the VGA port (which does no digital handshake) has no problems like this. However, it's not my PC as my onboard HDMI/DVI video NEVER exhibited this issue for the past 2 years, I just get it with this newly installed card.
Other Thoughts: If it weren't for the handshake issue above, I would have rated this thing 4 or maybe even 5 eggs. I just don't get how the onboard nForce video always performed this handshake just fine, but a new graphics card just can't make it work. Failure on Gigabyte and/or NVIDIA's part here.
FWIW, my motherboard: ASUS P5N7A-VM LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 9300/nForce 730i HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard, with an Intel Core2 Duo E7500 Wolfdale.
This review is from: Rosewill RCR-IC001 - 3.5" Internal 40-in-1 Card Reader with USB 2.0 Port & Extra Silver Face Plate
Pros: I bought this for a new HTPC build. Looks good in the front of my case, reads the cards that will fit into it well...
Cons: None of my SD cards will fit in the SD slot - the slot is too small. I'm not sure how such a glaring quality control failure could happen, but it did. I simply can't use this to read my SD cards.
Other Thoughts: There's a stead blue light that is -always- on with this reader. If you're the type that doesn't like lights on the front of your case, you'll need electrical tape to cover it up.READ FULL REVIEW

IPF driving lights wiring question
Just bought a set of IPF driving lights from quadratec. My factory fog lights are turned on by pulling outward on the turn signal lever. I would like to be able to turn these on the same way without using the supplied switch. Is this something that can be done or would I run a chance of burning something up? The lights come with a harness and relay that I plan on using. Just wondering if anyone has done this without any problems.
You should use relays to power the IPF's or else you may melt down and burn up the wiring harness.
Yes you can use your factory switch, with your aftermarket lights and relay. All you have to do is use the factory trigger wire and run it to your aftermarket relay. The best way to do this is go to the power distribution block under the hood this is where the factory relay for your factory fog lights is located. Pull the fuse box up and out of the clips, this will expose the underside and wiring of your dist. block. Find the wires going to your factory relay location, then turn your switch on and locate the wire that has power after the switch is on, that is the wire that you want to jump power off of and run to your aftermarket relay. Sorry i cant remember the colors on that particular wire. You will be using the entire aftermarket wiring harness the factory switch just kicks the relay. Also your lights will now work on high and low beam. Do some searching there are some great videos out there that show you exactly how to do this and it works great. Any ?'s just ask its pretty easy.:thumb:
I have the ton of switches... the only thing to remember with this is you won't be able to use your fog lights as fog lights if you install them this way.
I don't know what watt the lights are, but "legally" you can't run anything over 55/65 watts on roads. a lot of states also have a 4 head light law, where you can only have 4 lights illuminated on the front of your vehicle at a time. so if you have the driving lights come on with the fogs that is your 4 lights.
Just something to consider

Guest analyst Jimmy Ruffin puts the latest debacle in perspective.
What becomes of us broken-hearted Canadiens fans?
Can we ride this roller-coaster through the end of the season without sustaining serious psychological damage?
Jaroslav Spacek had the right approach:
He got sick BEFORE the game.
(Shout-out to Jarred Friedman for the video)
How does a team beat the Devils in New Jersey, plaster the Rangers 6-0, enjoy a day off in southern Florida and then drop two games to playoff rivals by a cumulative score of 5-1?
A cliché we've heard since the beginning of the season:
In order to win, the best players have to play their best.
Martin St. Louis, Vincent Lecavalier and Steven Stamkos scored for Tampa Bay.
The Canadiens' best?
Well, Andrei Markov played 26:11 … and he didn't yell at Carey Price once!
Scott Gomez fought a big Swedish kid.
Tomas Plekanec and Brian Gionta each had four shots on Antero Niittymaki.
So did Mathieu Darche.
Do we still count Carey Price among the Canadiens' best?
He made 27 saves, including several beauties. And despite the elaborate analyses that you'll find in the Comments section, Price could not be faulted on any of the Lightning goals.
Through the ups and downs of the Canadiens first 53 games this season, I don't think anyone could question their character or heart. Deprived of their best player in the season opener, the team scratched, battled and clawed in almost every game they played.
The goaltending was consistently good-to-excellent.
Tomas Plekanec played his heart out.
Roman Hamrlik stepped up big. He's not Andrei Markov, but Hammer tried.
The PK was among the best in the league … mainly because it had so much practice.
Marc-André Bergeron helped the power play.
Scott Gomez came to life, and his resurgence happily coincided with the acquisition of Benoit Pouliot and the return of Brian Gionta.
It all came together against the Rangers at the Bell Centre.
Then it all fell apart in Florida.
Second to the puck and losing every battle.
Soft, badly coordinated defensive zone coverage.
Long-range, easily-stopped shots. Nothing from the slot, no net presence, no forward willing or able to play in the dirty zones qwhere most of the NHL's goals originate.
I could go on, but what's the point?
We're serious hockey fans.
We know what we're watching … and it ain't pretty.
The Canadiens are in ninth place. The teams above and below them in the Parity Division all have games in hand.
On Saturday, the Canadiens will be at Scotiabank Place to face the Senators, who've been on fire since Daniel F. – their captain and leader – returned to the lineup.
In his postgame press conference, Jacques Martin looked like (choose one):
a) Jimmy Carter during the worst of the Hostage Crisis
b) Guy Carbonneau during the February road trip last season
c) A guy who wishes he could stay behind in Florida
Martin thought the Canadiens played better in Tampa Bay than they did against the Panthers.
He praised the contribution of Sergei Kostitsyn.
Can we add another possibility, then:
d) Keith Richards during Happy Hour.
On to Ottawa.
Jaro Halak will get the start.
And Jaro Spacek should be recovered … unless he watches this game tape.

This application is a competing renewal of an R01 grant subsequently modified to R37 status following a Merit Award from NIDA. The initial application proposed "to correlate the molecular properties of cannabimimetic agents with their biochemical/pharmacological properties" in order to identify the pharmacophoric profiles of key compound classes that directly modulate the functions of the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors (CBRs). This information was used to design, synthesize and develop later generation CBR (ant) agonists with distinct pharmacological profiles either as molecular probes or leads for medications development. All of the above goals were completed. During this project period, we were motivated to extend our goals by new findings on the effects of enzymatic endocannabinoid deactivation by specific esterases. We now propose to study the three key brain esterases involved in endocannabinoid deactivation, namely, monoacyl glycerol lipase (MGL), fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and ?/?-hydrolase domain-containing 6 (ABHD6) for their structural and functional properties. Inhibition of these enzymes enhances endocannabinoid levels, indirectly activates cannabinoid receptors and modulates cannabinergic signaling. All three enzymes have been implicated in mechanisms associated with addiction and pain and are potentially useful targets for therapeutic intervention. The proposed work will be carried out using ligands that interact covalently or non-covalently with each of the enzymes and will include mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments to obtain detailed structural and functional information for each of the enzymes. The results will be used to design and synthesize selective reversible and irreversible inhibitors with optimized pharmacological profiles for each of the enzymes. Additionally, we propose to develop selective ligands possessing dual action with equal ability to inactivate two enzymes. Successful inhibitors will serve as useful pharmacological probes to study the endocannabinoid system as well as leads for the development of medications for addiction and pain management.
The application proposes to study the structural and functional properties of three key endocannabinoid deactivating brain enzymes using biochemical and biophysical methods. The information will be used to design and develop novel enzyme inhibitors with single and dual action as probes for pharmacological research or as leads for the development of medications for addiction and pain.

And there I was,talking to my childhood friend...again.I really didnt know I would feel like that for an imaginary friend I used to have when i was 5.Seriously,he exists in my head...At least he used to.As the years passed,I forgot him and the Imaginary world I created as a child.My life was...random,just like everyone elses.School,home,friends,painting...I loved painting.He learned me to paint.Anyway,I was confused,how did he come at the real world?Why? And he was standing right in front of me.I felt confused.
Hey babe,did you miss me?-And came closer to me.He knew me better than anyone else did.-I even came to real world for you,I mean youre 16 now,so I am..
I looked at him confused.What did he mean...I remember he used to talk me about a kingdom,about his kingdom...-What do you want Kevin? You exist in my head only.You used to exist there anyway.-And blinked my eyes fast hoping he would disappear.But nothing,he was still there,not moving,just there,
-I came here to take you,and im not leaving without you !We grew up together,we did everything together,my queen.I fell in love with you since then.-He grabbed my hands and kissed them. Every girl would like a gentleman like him,a handsome guy like him,blonde,blue eyes,an awesome body...It seems like he knew everything about my life,my world...And I wanted to be his queen,i used to dream about that,when we watched the stars or the moonlight.But i wasnt sure if i wanted to give up from my life,my friends,my family,my hamster.They would suffer if I just leave the place like that,without saying anything to anyone,without any reason.Kevin looked deep in my eyes with his blue eyes,and for a moment I lost the sense of everything.His blue eyes hypnotised me...And I actually knew that he had a solution for that...An imaginary friend,my imaginary love...Everything would be perfect if he just would stay with me,in my world.
Our place is in war,in a month or so i have to marry someone or ill lose the throne.-He said-Youre the only girl in both of our worlds that can be the real Queen of Upacco.
He even offered me to lose the memory of me in this world,my world...The hardest decision of all.I knew he wouldnt let me go,but I couldnt just leave my world like that...I just got furious at how someone could ask for that,to leave everything I had,everything I loved for a selfish reason like the throne.I just let the went at the door and pulled it.-Get out,now Kevin- Yelled at him... He whispered ''Ill be back for you babe'' and left the room. Suddenly I felt that something hit me in the neck,and everything became dark.I dont remember anything else...
