Destructoid - Did 343 Industries step comfortably into Bungie's big shoes? Was the story all you'd hoped for? Does the multiplayer still hold up? Does it actually matter that they didn't include iron-sights for the guns? Conversely, does it feel like it's too predictable? More of the same? Was it perhaps not quite the shining beacon of perfection you wanted?
It absolutely is
After playing through some of the single player experience, and extended up all nighter infinity multiplayer battles. It is safe to say that Halo 4 not only lives up to the hype, but has greatly surpassed my expectation with graphics, performance, great level design, and how fluid a shooter sporting all those traits can be. Even the voice acting turned out top notch, and brought to the table a higher quality of voice work, and emotion than past Halo experiences.
Outside of graphics, the greatest leap in successful implementation that I witnessed right away was the quality of sound. Everything from weapons, music, to the engines in the speeding vehicles has had a massive tune up. Anyone that hops into a ghost in single or multiplayer will likely notice the quality increase right away.
I salute 343 for doing a spectacular job in their first true outing into the gaming spectrum. Delivering what I believe is the greatest looking and playing first person shooter of this generation on console. Looking forward to what their next experience brings to the table.
Rated E For Everyone
I agree. It's much better than I thought.
Is it just me or are the same 5 lifeless trolls disagreeing in ever halo article??
Try to ignore them, dude; I've come to realize that disagrees only matter in this little world.
This is 150% real..not the fake multi-profiles who say ANYTHING to do what they do best on N4G.com or any other forum.
I bought the original Xbox for Halo: Combat Evolved after seeing the 10/10/10 review of the game in EGM, when that magazibe was bigger than IGN is now.
I have so many vast memories of playing that campaign when NOTHING was touching it.
Just to show REAL gamers (that owned the original Xbox) who may understand how amazing the irony of what has transpired a decade+ later
I have spent a day and a half on multiplayer, and went from I'm not sire I like the changes to this is
Fast forward a decade and almost a year later..
I am nowhere NEAR done with the final campaign. I stopped after the first level to play multi the same morning of the midnight launch.
The multi experience went from this doesnt come close to Bungoes Reach too my god this is the most addicting Halo multi since Halo 3...
But, it was the day after of playing a marathon session co-op with the biggest fan I know outside myself that I realize that Halo 4 is the best Hslo I have played sonce Combat Evolved. The ownder, the exploration, the massive science fction mystery that I and millions felt back then all came back.
But the graphics ..the set pieces..the new weapons..the plot..WOW..
THIS is by FAR the best Halo campaign IMPACT wise since the original. It's all there..don't let these idiots spoil the game for you.
This game will NEVER be a 5.5 or even a 7.0 from EGM which Ironically produced the review that was one of the main reasons I ran to the stores and bought the original giant Xbox and this game shortly after launch..this is the type of gaming experience that comes rarely.
I AGAIN salute 343 studios for pulling off the impossible. You will have another massive massive fanbase in utter anticipation of the next installment of this game.
Well deserved.
On topic..this is worth every second. Best FPS on the 360 this gen..period.
I am almost done my second play through on Heroic and I have to say it is hands down the best Halo yet.
The graphics are so amazing, well polished and sharp. The story is compelling, mature and even darker then previous Halo titles. You get to see the human side of Master Chief and his relationship with Cortana.
The Multiplayer is just so much faster and fluid with so many variants.
My ONLY gripe with the game is the maps that were selected in Forge. With Halo Reach we were given one HUGE map where you could build in the water, a small island and a Huge playing area, now we have 3 smaller separate maps. I prefer 1 large one to 3 average to small ones.
Any Halo fan who grew up playing Halo since the start would agree this is the best Halo yet. It's nice to have a more mature Halo with darker undertones. Halo 4 truly is the next evolution in the Halo franchise. I can't wait to see what happens in the next 2 episodes.
343i have taken Halo to where it needed to be.
Am actually quite disappointed at the campaign.
I don't know but there is something off in this campaign compared to halo 1-2-3. Don't get me wrong. The graphics are amazing, the voice acting is great and the soundtrack still as epic as ever, but there is couple flaws with the campaign.
The main villians are very unintresting unlike the first time you battle the covenant in halo CE, and they tried to make the story more personal with the multifunctional cortana which could be done better, and the last mission where you go destroying the didact Luke Skywalker's way is not the best way to end this game, especially with the last boss who you kill in a QTE section!!! The multiplayer on the other hand is pretty awesome, so far the best MP in a halo game yet, and that's where the bulk of the game so am not bothered by the lacking campaign.
If you want to really get the motivations behind the Didact and Librarian as well as the huge backstory, watch all the terminals. This will clear up so much for you, as they are meant to.
I'm a ps3 only owner and I played it (the online multiplayer) for the first time last night at my friend's house and it was absolutely amazing. I have only positive things to say about it after a 3 hour taste.
I've enjoyed what I played of the campaign so far. The Warthog sounds pretty badass!
Oh Absolutely Amazing!
This story is so damn great, I couldn't ask for more.
I'm not finished with the game yet; playing on Heroic, but the music isn't as good. With Halo 5, they need to incorporate that Halo Theme just a little to get us fired-up.
Have only played about an hour and already I can tell it's so much better than previous Halo's. Very impressed with 343. Haven't tried the online yet, need to get a 3 month subscription later.
It depends on how you view it and what your tastes are, I like it, I think it's amazing, especialy to be playing Chief again but the thing is it's still Halo at the end of the day. I mean it's not like that first time when you played on the very firt Halo and you were like "Oh my god, this...is...revolutionary" ; with your jaw basicaly on the floor.
What really bugs me about the game though in the campaign that there was a lot of talk about the relationship of the two characters and how since they've done motion capturing they would be more engaged with each other but with the voices recorded sepertely (maybe it's just Cortanas) they seem like their just reading their lines, like one has to fully finish untill the next line starts, it's hard for Chief and Cortana to be more emotional, especialy with her going through rampancy.
Actually, Halo 4 is the first game where both voice actors voiced their lines back-to-back in the same room.
In all other Halos, they were done separately.
Yeah but it dosent really sound like that in the game, it dosent seem like it flows aswell as it should
If you we're expecting a Halo game. then it's probably one of the best in the series.
If you were expecting something else, you should have known better. Halo 4 is part of a larger narrative of a new studio who has been given the keys to one of the biggest franchises in any media, with a community as venomous and stubborn as a barrel of kobra's in a bull parade.
I would compare Halo 4 to Street Fighter IV, it keeps the core intact but makes wise iterations. Both of these games are so mechanically pure yet nuanced, that one wrong step can kill their identities. That's one thing I feel some reviewers have failed to realize.
This is why COD needs a change, because at its core, it's a shallow shell of quake's nuance. Cod's dynamics boil down to a meat grinding "I saw you first, you die".
Even being not the biggest Halo fan, I am absolutely in love with this game. Very impressed.
That's good to hear :) we always welcome new fans. It's definitely a direction the series will benefit from :3
I love it, and even though I am a huge MS fanboy, I very quickly tired of Halo 3. This is much better to me.
That's good to know I thought most of the Halo games were OK, I really loved ODST and I'm really looking forward to picking this up on Friday and getting stuck in!
This is my first play at a halo and i am loving it. Graphicaly its as beautiful as anything seen on the ps3 and does a hell of alot more on the screen. I am now going to go back and play the first few games i have messed. Wow this series is amazing and is worth every sec of the wait.
GOWIII and Uncharted beg to differ. Anyway it's an Xbox article so let's keep it that way.
@ Jaces.
You can say GOW3 this and Uncharted that but bottom line is neither of those titles are doing what Halo has done. Large open world environments, vehicles, 4 player co-op, HUGE multiplayer options, 4 player side missions (spartan ops) and a Map editor (Forge). All done while keeping a steady frame rate and having some of the best visuals/graphics released this gen.
I am sorry but as great as GOW3 and Uncharted are (a couple of franchises that I am a big fan of) neither are "begging to differ" from what Halo 4 has brought.
I was strictly referring to graphics. My bad if I hadn't made that clear.
Some people like it and other people don't (mainly because it's not on the PS3). So far I'm liking Halo 4 very much! Pity you can't play the main campaign in online co-op though, especially since you can locally, that's my only complaint. Spartan Ops kinda makes up for it but it's not the same.
Umm, you can play the campaign online with up to 4 players. That's why the 'finish the campaign on legendary by yourself' achievement exists. It wouldn't if there were no co-op.
Ah, should have been a bit clearer there! What I meant is there's no matchmaking for it like there was in Reach.
I guess 343i figured it was a useless feature and removed it since most people play with their friends over strangers.
No, this game is a bit over hyped the graphics aren't that great but they are definitely a step up from Halo Reach,the voice acting is not that good, it very very short And Halo 4 is like more of the same. LET THE HATE REPLIES BEGIN IN 3,2...1
What about the graphics do you find lacking?
What aspect of the voice acting do you think is mediocre?
I'm not hating, just simply asking you to expand your answer if you can.
He can't, trolls lack that basic capability.
Ok, graphics
-some textures are a flat, unrealistic lighting and shadowing and less polygons...Gears Of War 3 looks much better. But i love the artistic design any way.
Voice Acting
-the voice actors/actresses are not trying to "be" the character at least not hard enough they sound like they are just reading a manuscript.
I rate your trolling...
I thought the graphics were very good. The art style and great graphics combined makes the game look absolutely amazing.
Yes and no..Halo has definitely returned with that ever so addictive gameplay however the lack of map variety in Infinity Slayer is a huge downer for me. Had the game since Monday and basically playing the same three maps over and over again is getting a little stale.
It is not better than the first and is kinda lacking when it comes to story because that is crap like most FPS game, but other than that it is one of the better Halo's in the series, but really nothing to write home about.
I'm having a blast with it. So much to do in the game. Haven't played Spartan Ops yet. and umm story.... I know, I know I'm horrible.....
some dont like it and i can respect that. but if you like fps, even a lil, then youll like this game. halo aint groundbreaking this gen, but its still fun as hell. good times
Hell yeah it is. Beat the campaign on legendary with friends. That's always fun. Story was great as long as you read the books. But the main draw here is the multiplayer. The shooting mechanics is perfect! The vehicles is slightly nerfed esp the banshee but I think that's a good thing.
My only complaint is the menu system, the font used, and the way the medals look different.
I just hit sr 20 :)
Only Halo since the first 3 to excite me. Reach and ODST were underwhelming imo
I thought it was bad, played it at my friends and went back to 60fps goodness that is COD in less than an hour. The MP was generic, didn't play the SP but it's probably much much worse than the MP.
if your still playing mw3, find a bridge and jump. thank you.
buddy of mine GAVE me mw3. i played maybe 5 minutes then took that shit to gamestop for money. good times
I think a lot of the times, people will mix up a 'bad game' with 'being bad' at the game. He is probably one of them.
A COD player complaining because a game "has generic MP", when COD is a generic piece of shit, btw COD on consoles can't stay at 60 fps so you got back to the 40-60 fps fail that is COD.
You have no right to complain about SP when COD's SP is terrible
fair enough that you dont like it and prefer 60FPS, but you claim that the MP is generic, and then play COD, the most generic of all FPS.........
Dont get me wrong i love COD, but because it's so simple and generic, it's just point and click...i dont even care about what my teammates do in COD since i just rampage my way through every match.
And never have i had the LOL moments in COD like i do in Halo, seems im always cursing at some one because i owned them, or because someone ended my killstreak....
I think its more than lived up to the hype for me, Microsoft put them in a great position to succeed. I don't think fans of Halo would have given this 343 made game the same chance had they created Halo Reach instead. Since both were being made around the same time, I think it was probably strategic by Microsoft to do it that way.
I think 343 took chances in some areas, but maintained what made Halo such a killer app in the first place. The multiplayer evolved, but it didn't change that Halo feeling. Its definitely the best Halo multiplayer in my opinion. The campaign was fantastic, and so I must admit that its quickly become my favorite Halo game in the series.
I should buy this game. I rarely ever play FPS games but there are people like me that actually enjoy it.
Don't waste your money keep hold of it, i have stuck by this series from the orginal xbox and what for i actually finished the game in less than 5hours on campaign, it sucks, the guys who are telling you it's good there lying it don't bother me if you buy it or not but that's my opinion.
I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money, but if I were you, I'd ignore Bedzy's incoherent ramble and at least rent it.
The campaign is a decent length (if you play on the harder difficulties) and the multiplayer is perfect.
Not to mention the bevy of co-op options available.
After that, if you like it, buy it.
To be honest, it didn't live up to the hype for me. I'm not a big fan of a lot of the MP changes, the art direction for the Forerunners/prometheans were totally inconsistent with the design language of the forerunners, the score didn't have any iconic/memorable tracks like the old games, and I wasn't a big fan of the direction they took the story in the last half of the game. Still probably an 8/10 for me though.
I wish it had true digital 7.1 surround sound to compliment the awesome soundtract and effects. This Halo is made for gamers!
I hate to be that douche that brags about his A/V equipment so I wont, but I can say that high quality sound definitely adds substantially to any gaming experience.
Also, you don't need to spend thousands on A/V receivers and surround sound speaker/subs. When I had little money, I found a high quality ($200plus) set of headphones can make games nearly just as good or better (in some cases) than $1200-2000 7.1 sound systems (if including a/v and sub in price).
Of coure the surround effect will be worse but in terms of just sound fidelity, definitely on par or better.
I'm a halo fan and have stuck by the series since the original on the 1st xbox on launch day , but that's it no more i actually and honestly finished the game on normal difficulty in less than 5hours.
Ok if you like playing multiplayer but has for the campaign it's rubbish, the halo franchise was gone i think after halo2 but stuck with the series but nothings changed.
The game sucks end of story to say and no more for me sadly it hasn't evolved with time its stuck it hasn't moved with time unfortunately there.
For me, every Halo game except for the first one has been a slow burner in terms of loving it. Meaning that when I first popped in the disc I liked it, but didn't love it. Then the more I played the SP and MP the more I enjoyed them both until in the end, 100+hrs later I would decide that my initial 8/10 game turned into at least a 9.5/10.
Halo games are probably the only games where I enjoy the SP more on the second and third play through than the first. As you get over the frustration, you start to feel like the Spartan that actually is skilled enough to over overcome all odds as you break down armour and lay down head shot after headshot, avoiding grenades and some how manage to kill 4-5 elite elites with ease on heroic/legendary. And the enjoyment derives from the fact that the enemies aren't stupid or scripted, they feel more organic than the dumb androids in many other FPS games.
What was so frustrating on the first play through becomesreally fun on heroic/legendary on subsequent play throughs. You become the chief depicted in the commercial and books - the demon to the enemy. Also, the Halo series has a good enough story to warrant numerous playthroughs without cringing at the idea of popping in the disc like other games with good gameplay but bad stories or vice versa.
No one will read this^^ way too long.
It had an amazing campaign, but that also had its flaws. Too much of "kill the enemies and get to the next terminal and press X. Alright then do it again once more in the next area"
This is definitely something 343 should look into :P
personally, i think this;
blows this away;
everyone talks about uncharted 3, when uncharted 2 was a FAR, far better looking game, and halo 4, literally looks better than uncharted 3 in some singleplayer levels, yet in uc3 there are a few amazing levels that do trump halo 4 slightly, while uncharted 2 is pretty consistant.
Nope, but then again I tire of shooters 2 minutes after I start them.
I'm enjoying this more on my second time round which I guess is the way with certain games anyway. Heroic was a good starting point for me having played the series for a while but Legendary is proving more satisfying experience regards to how the new foe feels to fight
Music is fitting and occasionally rather good but doesn't reach the same level of brilliance
Personally I don't think it's a Halo1 beater regards to that game's perhaps more frantic combat pace while in encounters, but definitely a good effort which stands out in it's own very unique way. I remember not gelling to Halo1 either from only the one playthrough though so it's hard to say at this stage how good this really is. As it is now however, the experience is certainly refreshing concerning the exceptionally believable world you experience and the engagingly different combat feel with new foe. I have a feeling I'll end up loving this game by the end of several playthroughs but until then I'm not qualified

Penguins and Sabres practice on outdoor rink, all set to play for real Tuesday
Pens G Conklin gets starting nod, making him 2-for-2 in NHL outdoor games
'Conklin allowed four goals on 27 shots in the Oilers' 4-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens in the NHL's only other outdoor game, back in 2003.'
Winter Classic to take hockey back in time
'Anticipation for the NHL's first-ever outdoor game in the United States has reached a level where locals would likely take the game over a visit from the Pope or a Beatles reunion concert.'
NHL players excited to go 'topless' in Buffalo
'"I hope the snow comes down, why not?," said Sabres defenseman Brian Campbell, noting that all of the players enjoyed the light snow flurries during Monday's practice.'
Millionaire pros acting like kids
'"That was awesome, it really was," Ruff said of the unique outdoor experience. "It kind of gets you back to your roots."'
Want the ultimate outdoor rink? Dan Craig makes it so
'So, how much sleep are you getting, Dan? "Basically, none," he said.'
This time around outdoors, there's more at risk for NHL
'At its worst, if it pours rain, if there is a blizzard, if a player gets injured as a result of playing the game outdoors instead of down the road at HSBC Arena, then it will be the kind of black eye that will reinforce the widely held notion the NHL isn't quite "big league." At its worst, the Winter Classic will make it difficult, if not impossible, to justify hosting such an event ever again.'
Chilly reception
'"The Capital One Bowl consistently receives viewer support," said ESPN-on- ABC spokesperson Mike Humes. "While we normally do not make specific estimates, with these two popular teams, we expect another solid audience." (Television-speak translation: We're going to kill you, NBC).'
Equipment men warming to tasks of Winter Classic
'Getting players ready to handle the elements has been one step of the process. The equipment managers have ordered tinted shields and eye black. They've stockpiled cold-weather gear from Reebok and Under Armour. They've sought advice from the NFL trainers in their cities and the equipment guys who handled other outdoor hockey games.'
The dynamo that is Tynan runs at full speed
'Tynan shared part of the program with Sabres goalie Ryan Miller and forward Drew Stafford, who played their guitars along with the U2 song "All I Want Is You." They seemed to know the ropes pretty well, and Stafford got off a few strong solo riffs. Later they returned to help close the concert with ringa- ding performance of another U2 tune, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," which Tynan equated to the Sabres quest for the Stanley Cup.'
NHL's cool feat installs a rink at the Ralph
'The sight is so strange, so bizarre — this hockey rink just sitting in the middle of a football stadium.'

Winter Classic set up unusual (Pittsburgh Post Gazette)
Playing outdoors isn't new to Penguins' goalie (Pittsburgh Post Gazette)
A readers' guide to the Winter Classic (Pittsburgh Tribune Review)
Pens Go Retro For Winter Classic (PittsburghPenguins.com)
Chilly Winter Classic is a hot commodity
'Costas believes the NHL can build on events like this because it has the ability to attract casual fans and channel surfers. "It will feel special because it is special," said Costas. "It's unique. Sidney Crosby and Ryan Miller are extremely well known. You have players that people want to see and in an atmosphere that's intriguing, plus those 70,000 people in Buffalo on New Year's Day. There is certainly going to be a great atmosphere."'
NHL's ice guru worries about 'Classic' weather
'He learned that first hand when he was at the stadium and found himself in what he calls "blizzard conditions." "It took us 45 minutes to get back to the hotel, and once we got to the hotel, there was nothing at the hotel," he said.'
Waiting on winter in Buffalo
'Exactly midway through the third period, a hard whistle will sound – regardless of where the puck is in play – and the teams will switch ends. If there's overtime, that will happen again at the 2:30 mark of sudden death. And if there's a shootout, each goaltender will be given the option of which goal to defend. So it's possible both teams could shoot on the same goal if, for instance, looking to the sun or battling a strong wind was something a goalie didn't want to face.'

Important Information for Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 17-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 30, 2017. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 17-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
The Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS) supports research and education activities that invent new computing and networking technologies and that explore new ways to make use of existing technologies. The Division seeks to develop a better understanding of the fundamental properties of computer and network systems and to create better abstractions and tools for designing, building, analyzing, and measuring future systems. The Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) program supports transformative research on fundamental scientific and technological advances leading to the development of future-generation, high-performance networks and future Internet architectures.
Under this umbrella, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) of Japan have agreed to embark on a collaborative research program to address compelling research challenges that arise from networks supporting future demands of device proliferation and data objects. This NSF solicitation parallels an equivalent NICT solicitation. Proposals submitted under this solicitation must describe joint research with Japanese counterparts who are requesting funding separately under the NICT solicitation.
This research and development program addresses three specific challenges that arise when environments with trillions of device and information objects are connected via networks. Trillions of network-connected objects are expected to emerge in the global network around 2020. This trend will require novel approaches for network design and modeling, new technologies to manage and control object mobility, and new and more flexible networks with the speed, capacity and environmental characteristics needed to accommodate communications among objects in the emerging world.
This program seeks joint Japan-US research projects that leverage each nation's expertise and address these challenges via work in three areas:
1. Network Design and Modeling: Addressing the design, modeling and component interaction challenges associated with increasingly dynamic and heterogeneous network technologies and applications at scale.
2. Mobility: Addressing issues such as security, control, provisioning, naming, discovery, and fast mobility in a world in which mobility is driven by factors such as social networks, the Internet of things, and cyber-physical systems.
3. Optical Networking: Finding novel approaches for sustainable high‐speed, high‐capacity, and energy-efficient networks that will accommodate communications required in "beyond trillions of devices and information objects" situations.

The Condition
The Condition
Harper Perennial, Paperback, 9780060755799, 390pp.
Publication Date: June 30, 2009
In the summer of 1976, during their annual retreat on Cape Cod, the McKotch family came apart. Now, twenty years after daughter Gwen was diagnosed with Turner's syndrome--a rare genetic condition that keeps her trapped forever in the body of a child--eminent scientist Frank McKotch is divorced from his pedigreed wife, Paulette. Eldest son Billy, a successful cardiologist, lives a life built on secrets and compromise. His brother Scott awakened from a pot-addled adolescence to a soul-killing job and a regrettable marriage. And Gwen--bright and accomplished but hermetic and emotionally aloof--spurns all social interaction until, well into her thirties, she falls in love for the first time. With compassion and almost painful astuteness, The Condition explores the power of family mythologies--the self-delusions, denials, and inescapable truths that forever bind fathers and mothers and siblings.
"[Haigh] looks unflinchingly at family ties—the kind that limit and the kind that can actually liberate. The Condition is a satisfying feat of literary choreography."
-Wall Street Journal
"THE CONDITION is something rare. . . . Ms. Haigh has a great gift for telling interwoven family stories and doing justice to all the different perspectives they present. . . . A remarkable accomplishment."
-Janet Maslin, New York Times Book Review
"Haigh's characters are layered and authentic. Moreover, one would have to have a heart of stone not to care for them and follow their small sagas. . . . Haigh is such a gifted chronicler of the human condition."
-Chris Bohjalian, Washington Post Book World
"Jennifer Haigh illuminates the dark tangle of desire and deed that is the family, that crucible we so often yearn to flee yet keep coming back to again and again. THE CONDITION is unsentimental, compelling, and moving, and I urge you to read it!"
-Andre Dubus III, New York Times bestselling author of the National Book Award finalist House of Sand and Fog
"The ailment at the center of this remarkable novel is the human condition itself. Jennifer Haigh has written a sprawling, emotionally gripping account of one family's troubled history, enlivened by her formidable intelligence and deep insight into her characters' hearts and minds."
-Tom Perrotta, New York Times bestselling author of Little Children and Election
"[A] rich, enjoyable third novel. . . . Haigh sets many balls in motion . . . [and] the McKotch clan evolves believably, and satisfyingly."
-People (People Pick)
"Poignant. . . . A strong nod to the healing power of love."
-Publishers Weekly
"Filled with genuine insight and touching lyricism."
-Kirkus Reviews

#1: At what age did you start wearing makeup?
I'm 14 going to start high school in a couple of weeks and I want to wear makeup. All I'm going to wear is eyeliner, lip gloss/stick, mascara, and maybe BB Cream (the lipsticks and lip glosses will be nude colors). I'm wondering if that's to little or to much since I'm a beginner at this. I don't want to look like a clown, but I do want to look more presentable.

When most people think of tropical fruit, they imagine ripeness—bright orange papayas, yellow pineapples, and deeply colored mangoes. Visitors to the tropics usually want their fruit sweet and juicy, not rock-hard and green. However, there is one Costa Rican fruit—mango—that is delicious long before it ripens.
Costa Ricans young and old love unripened mango. Schoolchildren climb mango trees and toss the green fruit down to their friends. Businesspeople eat green mango as a snack between meals.
Unlike a fully ripened mango, a green mango is very hard and has a thick skin. Its flesh is pale green and only slightly juicy. That juice, though, is wonderfully tart—the kind of tartness that pleasantly puckers lips. The seed of a green mango is white and waxy and resembles a very large bean.
Costa Ricans usually eat green mango the way Americans eat apples, biting at the firm flesh and eating all the skin. They avoid the seed, which is bitter. Some people sprinkle the mango with salt as they eat, because the salt plays nicely off the sourness of the fruit. Mango eaters with a little more time cut up the flesh of the fruit, squeeze it with lemon juice and sprinkle it with salt.
Green mango is delicious in all ways and is definitely something all Costa Rican visitors should try.

Satisfactory Academic Progress
Federal regulations require the Office of Financial Aid to monitor the academic progress of all students toward the completion of their degree. Your complete EMU academic record is considered regardless of whether or not financial aid was received each semester. This monitoring process is called Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Academic progress is evaluated each semester of enrollment using three factors:
- Grade point average (GPA)
- Percentage of attempted credit hours completed (completion rate)
- Maximum credits of eligibility (MCE) in which to complete a degree
Failure to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress will result in cancellation of eligibility to receive funds from Federal Title IV, state, or university need-based aid programs.*
Undergraduate students are required to:
- Maintain a 2.00 cumulative GPA
- Complete and pass a minimum of 67% of the credit hours attempted at EMU
- Complete all degree requirements (this includes credit hours transferred into EMU) within 150% of the minimum number of credits required to graduate (example: 124 minimum X 1.5 = 186)
Graduate students are required to:
- Maintain a 3.00 cumulative GPA
- Complete and pass a minimum of 67% of the credit hours attempted
- Complete all degree requirements (this includes credit hours transferred into EMU) within 150% of the minimum number of credits required to graduate (example: 30 minimum X1.5 = 45)
Students not meeting these Satisfactory Academic Progress standards will receive communication via email to their emich email address.
Students who fail to meet the above requirements of SAP are placed on a warning status. While on warning, students are eligible to receive financial aid. Students may receive aid for a total of one semester on warning status.
Students will no longer be eligible for financial aid if any of the following occurs:
- Following one semester of warning, the student fails to meet the minimum SAP requirements
- Student has earned the maximum credits of eligibility allowed for their program of study
Students on Cancellation will receive communication via email to their my.emich email account and a letter mailed to their permanent address.
Why am I not making Satisfactory Academic Progress when I have no failing grades?
Federal regulations require that the SAP review include all credit hours a student has attempted, including repeated and withdrawn courses as reflected on your academic record. Although withdrawing from a class may help your GPA, a "W" is still considered a course that was attempted, but not completed, for determination of Satisfactory Academic Progress.
Treatment of Withdrawals
Students who withdraw from all classes in a semester may be required to return some, or all, of the financial aid paid to their student account. Students must maintain a 67% completion rate in order to be eligible for federal aid. Students should contact the Office of Financial Aid to discuss the consequences of a withdrawal.
Treatment of Grades Indicating Non-Completion of a Course
Students who receive an E, I, IP, NC or N grade have failed to complete the course. This will affect the completion rate and may affect the GPA. If a course is repeated, all attempts will be included towards the completion rate and the minimum hours required for graduation. The most recent grade is factored into the cumulative GPA.
Remedial/English as a Second Language (ESL) Courses
Required remedial and ESL courses are calculated into the completion rate and GPA and are used in reviewing SAP criteria. However, only 100 level and higher count toward graduation requirements.
Second/Additional Majors or Degrees
MCE is based off of 124 credit hours for an undergraduate and 30 hours for a graduate student. Adjustments of MCE are not made for students that elect to take a double major or complete more than one degree at a time. If a student starts a degree and then changes their major, all classes already taken will count in their SAP evaluation. Students who complete a degree and are admitted into a new program will receive a new MCE calculation.
Audit/No credit courses
Audit or No Credit courses are not eligible for financial aid and they will not be included in enrollment for consideration of aid.
Transfer Courses
All attempted hours at EMU and all credit hours transferred from other institutions are counted in the total hours when determining a student's maximum credit hours attempted.
Appeal Process
Students who had extenuating circumstances which resulted in failure to maintain SAP may appeal the cancellation.
SAP cancellation appeals for GPA or CR must include the following:
- SAP Appeal Cover Sheet – emich.edu/finaid/formsdirectory.php
- Personal statement explaining:
a. the circumstances that prevented academic progress
b. a plan on how academic progress will be improved
- Supporting documentation (such as letters from professors, medical documentation, etc.)
SAP cancellation appeals for MCE must include the following:
- Submit the Maximum Credit Hours Reached Appeal Form, available in the Forms Directory
- Supporting third party documentation, as appropriate.
The Review Committee may consider a significant change in major when reviewing MCE. However, multiple majors and minors and/or excessive E, I, N or W grades or repeated courses are not adequate reasons for exceeding the MCE requirement. Appeals submitted for these reasons alone cannot be approved
Appeal decisions are sent to the student's EMU email address. If the appeal is approved, the student will be placed on probation status and will be eligible to receive financial aid for a period of one semester after a contract has been signed by the student. The contract will provide conditions the student is required to meet for their probationary semester.
If a decision is made to deny the appeal, the student may request a second review by the committee ONLY if the student can provide new information and documentation that was not included in the initial appeal.
A student may regain financial aid eligibility by meeting the SAP standards if an appeal is denied or never submitted.
Re-Establishing Eligibility
If your eligibility has been cancelled and you do not meet the appeal criteria, you will regain eligibility automatically once you are meeting the SAP criteria on your own. This means that once your completion rate reaches 67% and your cumulative grade point average is 2.0 (3.0 for graduate students) you will be back in good standing and eligible for future aid. You will not need to contact our office. We check SAP status for all students at the end of each term after grades are posted.
Calculating Completion Rate
Divide the number of passed* EMU hours into the number of attempted* EMU hours.
Example: 125 (passed hours) ÷ 131 (attempted hours) = 95%.
Your Completion Rate: Passed hours: ÷ Attempted hours:
* Passed and Attempted EMU hours are found under the "Student" tab of your my.emich account. (Click on Student Services, Student Records and Academic Transcript).

Insights and Opinions: The Key to Success with Angel Investors
What's the best way to connect with an angel investor, and how do you get them to pay attention to your company? Steve Reich, a Southern California entrepreneur and investor, says it's all about one thing: respecting their culture. In the latest contribution to our Insights and Opinions section, where we feature editorials and advice from the community, Steve talks about the key to success with angel investors:
We are all trained to be sensitive to other cultures, but tend to forget those lessons when meeting investors. You are so anxious to get your story out, that you don't pay attention to the cultural norms on the other side. If you want to succeed, learn how to connect with your Angel audience.
Everyone has heard how to pitch: 1) great idea, 2) big market, 3) hockey stick revenue chart. Angel groups (such as the Pasadena Angels) even publish their requirements online. It's not enough to have the killer idea and a great pitch. You have to know your audience, and speak directly to them in ways they understand.
You can do it in a few simple steps.
Learn their process. Most Angel groups will allow you to attend a screening or pitch meeting. This is your chance to learn how they work and meet the key players. (More...)

ChiggersHarvest mite; Red mite
Chiggers are tiny, six-legged wingless organisms (larvae) that grow up to become a type of mite. Chiggers are found in tall grass and weeds. Their bite causes severe itching.
Chiggers are found in certain outdoor areas, such as berry patches, tall grass and weeds, and woodland edges.
Chiggers bite humans around the waist, ankles, or in warm skin folds. Bites commonly occur in the summer and fall months.
The main symptoms are:
Itching usually occurs several hours after the chiggers attach to the skin. The bite is painless.
A skin rash may appear on the parts of the body that were exposed to the sun. It may stop where the underwear meets the legs. This is often a clue that the rash is due to chigger bites.
Exams and Tests
A doctor can diagnose chiggers by examining the rash.
The goal of treatment is to stop the itching. Antihistamines and corticosteroid creams or lotions may be helpful.
Possible Complications
Secondary infection may occur from scratching.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if the rash itches very badly, or if symptoms get worse or do not improve with treatment.
Avoid outdoor areas contaminated with chiggers, if known. Applying bug spray containing DEET to skin and clothing can help prevent chigger bites.

BTW just save you money consulting with a lawyer trying to file lawsuit against AT&T for "unlimited data". Also I suspect people who download so much using their phone, I think they do not have wifi at home and work, maybe go as far to speculate this is their only way to get internet?
What about us on the iPad unlimited data plan? I know I use over 2GB a month. I know I wouldn't pay for it if I only got 2GB that's for sure.
It's not really being a "speed" demon more than it is a data hog. It's the amount of data that's used that comes into question... not the actual speed of the phone. Putting a data cap on an unlimited plan really is dumb. I think they should offer a 5GB plan for $25 anyways. I use around 5gb every cycle and I simply just watch YouTube vids on break at work. I don't sit there and leech files. So their opinion of what is considered "hogging" is very ambiguous considering that 5 gb ain't that much and that they are more worried about speed rather than amount of data.. yet its the amount of data that gets you punished.
Unlimited. Adjective/ˌənˈlimitid/
1. Not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity, or extent.
Not limited in terms of number, quantity, or extent. Seems to me that AT&T has their own selective definition of "unlimited". At it's core the word means without limits, so imposing ANY sort of limit upon something labeled as unlimited is misleading at best.
Did they limit where you can go with your data? no.
Did they limit what you can download with your data? no
They specified what is unlimited, they did not mention unlimited speed. Why don't you complain that you bought unlimited data why am I paying for my voice, why am I paying for my lunch? Because by your definition unlimited should not be restricted to data/cellular/food/life etc
I watch Netflix from my phone since I can't get it at home because of the country life. They better not do it to me!
Soon as AT&T send me this BS I'm gone! As for the rest you, y'all are straight cowards. You do nothing!
You give them-AT&T an inch-Tiered Data... and they'll take a mile-Throttled Data!
2GB is pathetic in an exponentially increasing technological driven world! That's like like saying you can only fill up your gas tank once a month.
Vote with your wallet!
The funny thing about everyone complaining is AT&T freely allows you to drop all the bells and whistles of your contract and go down to a simple $30/mo plan with a dumb phone. You are not signing a contract for data, you are signing a contract for service. You can drop data any day of the week.
If the definition of limited is so cut and dry in every situation imaginable (especially this one), SUE THEM! You are certain to win. What are you waiting for? You can respond to every comment on here stating we don't understand how "unlimited" is being misused here, but until YOU actually do something about it, well, nothing is being done.

Transfer Student Success Stories
Global Supply Chain Management
If you're serious about your education, Clarkson is the place you want to be, said Huesne Daglioglu, '10, a transfer student from Westchester Community College.
"I think if someone really cares about their studies and a very good education," she said, "I totally would recommend this place, because this is the place where you can focus on your studies."
Daglioglu, who was born in Turkey and raised in Germany, said she chose Clarkson "because it's far from all the things that take my attention away from studying."
"It's a small college and I prefer a college where everyone knows everyone, and where you can have better relationships with your professors," she said.
Daglioglu said Clarkson has the best staff members, who are very friendly and helpful, even at the top. "Every time the president of the school sees you, he says hello to you."
Daglioglu, a global supply chain management major, said she'll especially remember the trip to Asia she took with 12 other Clarkson students and a professor. They visited several businesses in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong to get a real-world idea of how business is done. "This is so far the best experience ever."
She was impressed that many of the companies they visited are using some of the same techniques and systems she learned in the classroom. "I like that Clarkson provides us with classes and knowledge which are used out there in the business world."
Daglioglu said she sometimes feels like all she does study and work on class projects. That's why she tries to balance academics with other activities. She's involved with the CEO Club, the International Student Organization (ISO) and the Christian Fellowship Center. She also blogs for the ISO.
"I try to balance everything so I won't feel stressed out, like meeting some friends, going to some activities or just hitting the gym," she said.
Daglioglu's plans for the future are complicated by the fact she's an international transfer student. "I have to see if I want to stay in the states or go back home to Germany," she said, "but I would love to see myself one day working for IBM."

Just got my hands on a new hyperflex 4/3. When do you reckon I can start hitting it? Now, late March, April, etc???
definitly get out wednesday...great suit, ive got the 5/4/3 but i'm real toasty in it so u should be set with some booties and gloves
lets see... february average acording to noaa is upper 30's... march average is low 40's.... and april sees us moving into the 50's.... (mid atlantic averages) but we've been a bit above average all winter, so with any luck we'll hit 50 by the end of the month..... you'll be toasty in the 4/3 by then.... but the above poster is right you'll be fine for a while in the 4/3 now.... especially on a nice day like today : )
I wore only a 4/3 for the past 2 years and I was fine year round. I'm definitely more comfortable in my 5/4 I got for this year, but you could definitely manage in a 4/3.
I did a 4/3 year round for several years. The Hyperflexes are very warm ( I now have the 5/4/3) and I bet that 4/3 would be fine. Are all the seams sealed in some way, taped?? If so you will be good.
I am old and dirty and rock a 4/3 in DE.......nuff said.

June 1195: A tall, brown mare gallops into the sleepy village of Sigford, its rider dragged by the stirrup, the broken shaft of an arrow protruding from his back. The embroidered badge on the dead man's tunic identifies him as a senior officer of the Royal Forest. But with plenty of money still in the victim's purse, the motive is a mystery. When a second forest officer is violently attacked, County Coroner Sir John de Wolfe begins to uncover evidence of a sinister conspiracy. And why is his unscrupulous brother-in-law, the sheriff Sir Richard de Revelle, taking such an interest in the case?
©2003 Bernard Knight (P)2004 W F Howes Ltd
"Crowner John Fights Corruption"
Fear in the Forest is an enjoyable listen. In addition to a being a well paced mystery, it is also a good study of the Crowner, his wife, and his mistress. Both the reader and the Crowner discover unexpected truths about his character. As in other Crowner John stories, Fear in the Forest contain a wealth of period details and history. The royal forest system, laws and courts are intriguing. The corruption in the courts and enforcement of the laws could easily have taken place in any century. Is it comforting to know that things never change?
"Pedestrian – not sure why"
Read, rather than narrated; very even pacing. The story, quite simple, needed something more to lift it into "drama".
The medi-evil details, very scholarly, the multi-faceted threads and giving all the possible factors that "might be", sub-clause after sub-clause, are well presented, but there are just too many of them.
In the end I didn't care who did it and gave up.
Retired "Okie" librarian & happy to have found Audible for good stories & staying in touch with new authors & books.
"Medieval swashbuckling, lots historical details!"
"Fear in the Forest", is actually #7 in this series but the1st one I read. I had no trouble on this account to catch-up with the story. I like history which there is good detail of 1195 English history: absence of King Richard I, drip down politics of loyalties between King Richard and his brother John, outlaws and nuns, lifestyles of the not so rich nor so famous. A good book.
I marked down the story to 3 stars only because of the story. It is good, but not suspenseful. I did like the scene of the big fight in the forest. Knight is a coroner in this century and uses his obvious love of science and history to write an accurate story. The narration is perfect. It would rate a movie "G" as it only implies bawdiness of the Medieval Ages.
I will buy another Knight book, "The Witch Hunter" is the next in the Crowner John series. And I will listen to it when I am in a history mood.
"Great book as usual"
Excellent story as usual by Bernhard Knight. Keeps you interested all through the whole story
"Fantastic read"
I enjoyed the characters they all bring a realistic time in history and a good plot
"Just as expected"
the twist and turns of crowner JOHN
I never know what to put here as there are to many
"Fear in the Forest"
Yet again, another enjoyable book with Crowner John and his associates. I really do enjoy them.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry To Send 1,000 Troops To Border
Texas Gov. Rick Perry is expected to announce plans on Monday to secure the southern border by sending in 1,000 National Guard troops, the Christian Science Monitor reports.
An internal memo listed details regarding the deployment, noting that the total force would gradually build up to 1,000 troops stationed in the Rio Grande Valley. The troops would join alongside the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), which has already been on the ground fighting human trafficking and drug smuggling since June.
Groups engaged in trafficking and other activities on the U.S. side of the border have considerably stepped up their operations throughout the entirety of the border crisis, benefiting from the welcome distraction it provides.

Advocates for Carolina march on Statehouse
Nearly 250 advocates for the University of South Carolina celebrated Carolina Day at the Statehouse Wednesday (March 24) by marching to the state Capitol and meeting with legislators to discuss the importance of higher education.
The contingent included alumni, faculty, staff and students, as well as representatives from all eight USC campuses, who stressed the message that a college-educated population means less unemployment, higher earnings, a larger tax base and a healthier workforce, among other benefits. The group met with each member of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
In its seventh year, Carolina Day at the Statehouse is part of the Carolina Action Network (CAN), a volunteer advocacy effort organized by the university's alumni association.
Some CAN participants had attended in previous years, while others, concerned about plummeting funding for higher education, joined in for the first time.
University President Harris Pastides thanked the advocates for their support and said that the decrease in funding from the state has been dramatic in the last two years.
"We now have $100 million dollars less that we had on July 1, 2008," Pastides said. "Forty-six percent of the university appropriations will have evaporated in only two years.

Washington, DC - The U.S. General Services Administration's Federal Technology Service (FTS) today issued a major amendment to its solicitation for worldwide long-distance telecommunications service. The amendment establishes new core services with an award projected for next summer.
Known as FTS2001, the contract is designed to serve as the Federal government's primary source of supply for long-distance telecommunications services into the next century. The amendment incorporates extensive changes suggested by interested parties following the May 2, 1997 solicitation issuance.
The amendment is designed to allow offerors to make maximum use of commercial services and practices when designing solutions to the government's requirements. A large number of requirements in the original solicitation have been either relaxed, removed, clarified, or made optional in response to comments from industry. The acquisition will now concentrate on the more basic switched voice and data services and dedicated transmission services.
"We are confident, that through the joint efforts of the Government and our Industry Partners, we have achieved the proper balance between satisfying the special telecommunications needs of the Federal government and allowing sufficient flexibility for industry to design solutions based on commercial service models," said FTS Commissioner Robert J. Woods.
Of the 19 services in the initial solicitation, nine are now identified as optional services which do not have to be bid. These newly-defined optional services will either be obtained from FTS2001 contractors, through future contract modifications, from existing contracts, or through other acquisitions. The optional services were a relatively small part of the overall value of the FTS2001 contracts, but they added significant complexity and potential costs for offerors. One small service, federal relay for the hearing impaired, has been removed and will be acquired through a separate contract.
Changes also were made which will help assure that the government is able to leverage its position as the country's largest user of telecommunications services to obtain the best possible prices for the taxpayers. The amendment increases the minimum revenue guarantee under the contract(s) from $1 billion to $1.5 billion. The FTS2001 contract value remains in the estimated range of $5 to $8 billion over its four-year base plus four option years.
Other changes were made in order to assure that rigorous competition is obtained through the acquisition. The amendment changes the number of potential contract awards from up to three, to up to two awards to up to two contractors. Each award will have a minimum revenue guarantee of $750 million and both awards could be made to a single contractor. This change, coupled with the increase in the minimum revenue guarantee, will encourage potential bidders to offer more competitive pricing by being assured more revenue if their offers are successful.
"We are anxious to get the FTS2001 program moving rapidly forward toward contract award and implementation in order to take advantage of its exciting new service offerings and the best rates in the industry," said Woods.
With release of this amendment, a new schedule for the FTS2001 acquisition has been established. The new due date for receipt of technical, management, and business proposals is February 13, 1998, and price proposals are due March 17, 1998. Contract award is projected for the summer of 1998.
The solicitation is available on the Internet at http://post.fts2k.gsa.gov. For additional contract specific information, call Sybille Seltmann on (703) 610-2805.

We couldn't think up a better title to describe the way that Joe Tex approached soul music in the 60s – giving 110% to his music, working like a dog to climb the ranks that were already filled with other budding soul stars! This album's a perfect example of Joe at his best – nearly all original tunes recorded in close collaboration with producer Buddy Killen, whose unique talents really brought out the best in Joe's honest apporach to soul music. The album includes the studio version of the classic groover "Papa Was Too", and loads of other classics like "SYSLJFM (The Letter Song)", "I've Got To Do A Little Bit Better", "Half A Mind", "I Believe I'm Gonna Make It", "Watch The One (That Brings The Bad News)', and "A Woman Sees A Hard Time (When Her Man Is Gone)". (Red & purple label pressing. Cover has a half split top seam, split bottom seam with tape remnants, a hype sticker, and a bit of pen on front.) © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

The appearance of kleber at the head of the army which had defended Mainz had already turned the scale.
Two days later kleber marched with his division for Damietta.
kleber marched with great rapidity, passed through Nantes without stopping, and established himself at the camp of Saint Georges.
He advanced to cross; kleber and Savary in vain tried to stop him.
kleber's veterans, however, preserved their coolness, and for a time the issue was doubtful.
Five armies moved forward simultaneously, that commanded by kleber consisting of the veteran battalions of Mayence.
"Dr. kleber doesn't know any more about it than I do," returned her mother.
kleber was determined to bring the Sheikhs in guilty in any case, and upbraided them with being double-faced.
Their loss had indeed been extremely heavy, kleber's division alone having lost over a thousand men.
After the death of kleber the command of the army devolved upon General Menou.

Gerard Way Says Upcoming Solo Album Sounds British
Gerard Way was born and raised in New Jersey, but the former My Chemical Romance frontman says his first solo album actually sounds like it comes from the other side of the Atlantic.
Way tells "NME" his untitled studio effort "feels like a British album," explaining that he was inspired by Britpop bands like Blur and Pulp and post-punk acts like Wire and Gang of Four. Way adds that he was "going for a lot of things that were completely new" to him.
He shared his first solo single "Action Cat" last month, and is expected to unveil more new music when he takes the stage at two of the U.K.'s biggest festivals, Reading and Leeds.
Way says it's fitting that he makes his live solo debut in the U.K., both because of the British feel to his new album and because he feels the U.K. was the first place to "fully understand My Chemical Romance." He expects the same to happen with his solo career, so he felt it needed to be set off there. The Reading and Leeds festivals are both scheduled to take place between August 22nd and the 24th.

Android, iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, tablet — it seems no one talks about the dependable desktop computer anymore. Even laptops are losing their luster in light of the mobile revolution. Sure, a few MacBook Air commercials sneak their way onto TV every now and then. But it might be a decent bet to presume that when people see an ad for a MacBook Air they think, "Hey, that looks like an iPad with a keyboard."
There's a lot of buzz about the mobile revolution — that we're beginning the permanent switch from accessing Web content on stationary devices to accessing it whenever and wherever we happen to be. Circumstantial evidence and hard numbers suggest this change is occurring. The Pew Internet and American Life Project found in February that 85 percent of all adults own a cell phone, while only 59 percent and 52 percent owned a desktop and a laptop, respectively. A March report from Pew also found that 47 percent of all American adults get news and information on a cell phone or tablet computer. The numbers are astonishing given the relatively brief time that smartphones — and tablets even more so — have been available to consumers.
For private companies, the mobile revolution represents massive profit potential. Advertisements, coupons and other incentives can be delivered to potential customers at anytime. But for government, this societal shift presents murkier benefits and a host of problems. Strategies for catering to a mobile constituency range from fervid embrace to nonexistence and every point in between. Perhaps an organic, universal blueprint for governments toiling in this new era will emerge, but it may simply become a case of every agency for itself.
Market Savvy
It's hard to believe that the iPad was launched just a year and a half ago. And with 20 million units sold, tablet computers are the hottest devices in the technology industry. But before government agencies can begin to develop websites and applications for mobile users, they must first get their arms around a technology marketplace that changes at blinding speed.
"There are so many different things converging at once," said Phil Bertolini, CIO of Oakland County, Mich. "You think about the device itself as a kind of convergence communication device. There could be a new one a month from now. Those devices started coming and now they are coming fast."
Indeed, the smartphone market has been in a state of flux since its inception. Where BlackBerry was once dominant, Apple and Android now rule. One month the iPhone might be No. 1, but the next, Android takes the top spot. And now with tablets from Apple, Samsung, Sharp and dozens of other electronics makers, there's great variety in the devices being used to get online.
The wide variety of devices can mean headaches for CIOs and their staffs. How do you choose which device will be your primary development platform? Is it important to develop apps? If so, what should they do? Should you have a mobile version of your website? Does any of this stuff need to be optimized for tablets? These are just a few of the questions public-sector IT is asking.
And perhaps the most important question: While data shows a marked increase in the number of smartphone owners, do those same numbers translate to smartphone users? In other words, are more people really using the devices to access government Web content?
"I agree that [smartphone usage] is certainly on the rise," said Bill Greeves, director of communications and IT in Roanoke County, Va. Greeves is also a co-founder of MuniGov, a coalition that aims to improve citizen service with Web 2.0 tools. "For us here, because of our demographic, it's not this massive influx of 'Oh my gosh, we have to have everything mobile and we have to do it today.' We are not that far advanced technologically as a community as maybe some other areas like San Francisco or Seattle," said Greeves. "But we do certainly have a growing community of smartphone users, and we recognize that. And we certainly want to not just offer services in that regard, but maybe even take advantage of that and provide better, fast and more reliable self-service."
In Boston, CIO Bill Oates and his staff have been actively addressing the rapid growth they're seeing in citizens accessing the city's website using mobile devices. Boston was one of the first to launch a dedicated mobile version of its website and has continued to explore and develop mobile apps. Raj Pareek, who leads the city's e-government initiatives, said that from the onset they've been thoughtful about what type of information people access on mobile devices. Usage statistics were instrumental in deciding what went on the mobile version of cityofboston.gov.
"I think that even from the beginning, we didn't want to put all of our content from the website and slap it on mobile devices," Pareek said, noting that they've recently added targeted data that's easily accessible for citizens on the go. "We are seeing almost a 250 percent increase in people who are accessing the legislation agenda, City Council minutes and documents, especially from tablets like iPad and Android devices."
For agencies that are still on the fence about developing apps or launching a mobile-optimized website, the first step — as it was in Boston — is to examine existing Web traffic and identify pages that are both popular and conducive to "mobilization."
Sara Walsh, Web content manager of Boston's Department of Innovation & Technology, said the city identified services like parking, public safety and visitor information as ideal candidates for the mobile site.
"I think with the mobile site we are trying to give people a quicker entry way into the type of content that they would be looking for when they are on the go," Walsh said. "We have tried to highlight parking services, visitor information, snow information when that's seasonal, public safety and elections."
The result, according to Pareek, has been a 500 percent increase in traffic coming from mobile devices, excluding tablets.
Boston is also among many cities that have dipped their toes in the app development waters. Boston's mobile 311 app, called Citizens Connect, launched for the iPhone last year, has since been ported to Android's operating system and is now available for most Android smartphones.
App Assistance
Dozens of other cities, such as San Jose, Calif., and neighboring San Francisco have launched similar apps. San Jose worked with a company, called CitySourced, to help build its mobile 311 app. CitySourced, along with companies like SeeClickFix and CivicPlus, are among a growing number of businesses that can help cities create smartphone and Web-based apps for reporting municipal issues like graffiti and potholes.
In Mission Viejo, Calif., Jackie Alexander, director of IT, said the city recently unveiled an app for Android and iPhone that essentially rolls 311 and a mobile website into one.
"We have seen an explosive amount of growth in mobile access to all of our services," Alexander said. "Earlier this year, we put out a mobile application for the iPhone and Android." The app, called Access MV, allows a user to report a problem — and submit photos and GPS locations for the issue. The app then generates a service request that gets pushed into the city's CRM system with a full workflow and notification. In addition, the app lets users receive a wide range of city news and information.
One solution, YouTown, promises that a government agency can create a mobile app for itself in a matter of minutes. Developed by Seattle-based DotGov, YouTown requires a user to do little more than fill out a basic information form. Following verification, a mobile app featuring news feeds, social media, local maps, a calendar of community events and access to government services will be generated. The basic app creation service is free. However, YouTown offers more advanced features for a fee.
Six cities are involved in a sort of beta test for YouTown. One of them is Overland Park, Kan., whose CIO, Vickie Irey, said her city decided on YouTown based partially on the fact that a survey showed 98 percent of city residents are connected to the Web. Given that data, Irey said it made sense that many city residents would likely use mobile devices to get online.
"[Today] if you go to get a phone, you aren't even going to get one unless it's a smartphone — unless you're my Mom," Irey said. "Our city manager, our mayor, myself — we all believe that this is where it is going, and we are going to get on a path to be there."
Overland Park's current YouTown app is modest. Irey said it includes event notifications, a park map and city news releases. Residents interested in acquiring the app need only visit the App Store on Apple iTunes and download it to their iPhone. Irey said she expects the app to be available for Android users soon.
What's most appealing about having a mobile app, Irey said, is that it requires minimal investment, can be done by a third party and is another method of delivering service to citizens.
"We have so much to offer on our website — people really don't have to come in here unless they like to come and see a face and talk to us. Almost every service possible is on there," she said. "You can pay a ticket as long as you don't need to appear in front of a judge; you can get a building permit, license your dog, sign up for swimming lessons — every conceivable thing we have on the Web. Now the deal is, can I do those same things on my phone?"

USC Board votes to roll back tuition increases
The University of South Carolina Board of Trustees voted unanimously Tuesday (Oct. 26) to roll back 2010-11 tuition increases to 6.08 percent at USC's two-year campuses and to 7 percent at USC Beaufort.
The new rate, which takes effect in spring 2011, is in response to the State Budget and Control Board's Sept. 29 moratorium on capital projects at the state's four-year public institutions with tuition increases above 7 percent and two-year campuses with tuition increases that exceeded 6.3 percent.
The moratorium impacted building plans at one of the USC system's four-year campuses: USC Beaufort. The University Board of Trustees had approved a 9.5 percent tuition increase for FY 2011 in order to move tuition for that former two-year campus more in line with that of other four-year public institutions. At USC Beaufort, plans are under way to complete the second floor of its main library, and USC Lancaster, which had a tuition increase of 6.5 percent, is planning to construct a classroom building.
Dr. Ted Moore, USC vice president and chief financial officer, said the move will be particularly difficult for USC Beaufort, though library expansion will now move forward. Administration will work to ensure that effects on academic programs are minimal, he said.
"USC Beaufort has the lowest tuition of any public baccalaureate institution in South Carolina," Moore said. "We carefully review budget needs on all campuses each year and raise tuition as little as possible while maintaining support for our core mission in light of state budget cuts. It will be difficult, but we will manage the effects of the rollback to minimize effects on academic programs. The rollback on the regional campuses is much smaller so its effect will be less serious."
The action means that resident tuition and fees for students at the two-year campuses, including students in the baccalaureate Palmetto Programs, will be $2,932 per semester, a drop of $12 per semester. The part-time rate for resident undergraduates with fewer than 75 hours will drop by $1, from $229 per credit hour to $228. Tuition and fees will remain the same for full-time and part-time non-resident undergraduates and part-time for students with more than 75 hours.
USC Beaufort's resident undergraduate tuition will drop $92 per semester, from $3,970 to $3,878.The part-time rate for resident undergraduates will drop from $317 per credit hour to $310.
Moore said the administration is aware of the hardship that the rollback puts on the USCB campus but that not doing so presents challenges, as well.
"If we were not to comply with the moratorium, USC Beaufort would be unable to upfit the second floor of the library, and that would impact our students and the academic mission.

Rising country star Sarah Darling is under a new 'Umbrella'
Listen to Sarah Darling on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Nashville has been taking notice of Sarah Darling for some time now, despite the fact that the winsome blond star-in-the-making hasn't even put out a full-length album yet. She has released an EP, appeared on ABC's hit reality show "The Bachelor" (as a performer, not a contestant!), toured with "American Idol"Scotty McCreery, and even served as a spokesperson for everyone' favorite Southern sweet snack, Moon Pies.
Still, the singer insists that she's not going to put out her full set until she's got everything just right, and this is a promise she appears to be working on steadily. Having split with her original label, Black River Entertainment, earlier this year, Darling is currently exploring her options--but not resting on her laurels. She's just released a summery new tune, "Little Umbrellas," accepted a proposal from her boyfriend, and is busy planning both a wedding and her next strategic career move.
Yahoo! Our Country had the opportunity to sit down with the busy bride-to-be and ask her about her decisions of late. Despite the title of her latest single, there appears to be very few stormy clouds overhead in this gal's life.
Our Country: Can you talk about your decision to split with your label? You had quite a bit of momentum going with Black River Entertainment, so I am sure some fans will be surprised by your move.
Sarah Darling: My decision to leave Black River was a mutual one between the label and I. It had been on my heart for awhile to make a change, and sometimes it takes just that to get you to the next level! It was the right time for me to leave. I always feel that everyone and everything has a place in your life at the right time.

What makes obx always seem to have better surf?

What makes obx always seem to have better surf?
ADVICE! when you hit a VB break study whos out there first so you know how to surf with the locals and still get your rides. Especially on a good day. Even though edicate goes out the window sometimes/alot its good to carry stoke out with you and honor other surfers. NOt to mention holding your ground. Have fun exploring
If you don't want to go as far as the NC outerbanks, there are some great spots down in the Sandbridge area of VB. There are also some great spots on the north-end of the beachfront. For instance, during the Leslie swell, I was down at 58th street and we were getting good chest-to-head-high sets coming through. The only minus during the summer is there are hours where you can't surf on most areas of the beachfront ... you have to wait till the off-season after labor day and before memorial day for all-day surfing hours, or look for red-flag days. The good news is that when there is a huge swell, it's typically a red-flag day :-)
