Amedica Announces Expansion Of Executive Team
Marketing, Sales, Legal and Compliance Executives Added to Promote Adoption of the Company's Proprietary Silicon Nitride Technology
Jan 29, 2013, 09:00 ET
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Amedica Corporation, a spinal and reconstructive medical device manufacturer, today announced several new additions to its executive management team to help guide the company's efforts as Amedica shifts the standard of care for interbody fusion devices toward proprietary Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) ceramic. Four strategic appointments, including a Senior Vice President of Market Development, Vice President of Marketing, a Senior Vice President of Sales, and a Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, have been added to the executive team to help execute on the company's business objectives.
Amedica is focused on advancing medical applications of its proprietary Silicon Nitride ceramic. In November 2007, Amedica secured clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to manufacture and market Silicon Nitride-based interbody fusion devices. The resulting Valeo® product line was launched in 2008 and has since been adopted by physicians across the country as the premier interbody fusion device. In September 2012, Amedica announced the expansion of biomaterial claims for its FDA 510(k) cleared Valeo Interbody Fusion Devices. In recent studies published in peer-reviewed journals[i],[ii], Silicon Nitride demonstrated anti-infective properties as well as superior new bone formation and osteointegration in comparison to PEEK and titanium. Also in September of 2012, Amedica received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to market a second generation family of cervical and lumbar interbody fusion devices. The company is also exploring innovative solutions for orthopaedic implants.
"This is a momentous time for us as we expand our leadership team and gain extensive expertise and insights to further execute on our business strategy. Mr. Rupinskas, Mr. Sendro, Mr. Abraham, and Mr. Ontiveros bring a wealth of experience to Amedica that will be critical to our ongoing success," said Eric K. Olson, President and Chief Executive Officer, Amedica.
As Amedica works to expand the utilization of Silicon Nitride in other orthopaedic applications, the hiring of experienced executives will be a key to success. Vytas Rupinskas joins Amedica as Vice President of Marketing. Mr. Rupinskas brings more than twenty five years of marketing experience in the orthopedic, spinal and neuromodulation medical device markets previously holding senior positions at St Jude Medical, DePuy Orthopedics, DePuy International and DePuy Spine.
Paul Sendro, formerly Senior Vice President of Sales for Amedica, will now be leading the company's strategic market development initiatives. Paul has over 20 years of experience in the orthopaedic, trauma and spine medical device industries. He has held leadership positions at numerous well established companies such as US Spine, Vertebron, Blackstone Medical, Stryker Inc. and Synthes USA.
Jim Abraham joins Amedica as Senior Vice President of Sales bringing with him over 25 years of experience in the orthopedic, trauma, spine, biologics and dental markets. He comes to Amedica from Stryker Orthopedics and has previously held a number of executive positions at companies such as IsoTis Orthobiologics, Regeneration Technologies, Encore Orthopedics and Sulzermedica.
Kevin Ontiveros joins Amedica as Chief Legal and Compliance Officer. Kevin has over 20 years of experience serving as in-house and outside corporate counsel for publicly traded and privately held medical device and biotechnology/pharmaceutical companies such as ImaRx Therapeutics, Inc. (IMRX) and NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NPSP).

High King of the Dúnedain
The more common use of the title, though, came at the end of the Second Age, with the establishment of the Realms in Exile in Middle-earth. In their earliest years, the Two Kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor fell under the ultimate rule of one man, Elendil, who dwelt in Arnor as the High King. The South-kingdom of Gondor was ruled jointly by his sons, but only under his suzerainty.
With Elendil's loss in the Siege of Barad-dûr, his elder son Isildur inherited the High Kingship. Isildur ruled for only two years, though, before he too was lost in the Disaster of the Gladden Fields. After his death, historical events conspired to separate the Two Kingdoms, each of which took Kings of their own. The High Kingship should in principle have fallen on Isildur's heir Valandil, but in practice Valandil became King of Arnor only, and had no power over the South-kingdom.
More than three thousand years were to pass before Aragorn reunited Elendil's realms. In doing so, as the direct descendant of Isildur, as well as Anárion, through many generations, he also resurrected the High Kingship.

I certainly agree with both Hawhee and Fitzgerald that it's time to push Burke's RHETORIC OF RELIGION more into the mainstream, not just for its insight into the forms of language (it's surely gotten its share of attention, within Burke studies, on that score), but also for its shrewd commentary on the imperatives of human nature. At the panel on Burke and education at NCA last month, Robert Wess raised the question of why there's so much religiosity in the air right now. The woman sitting next to him on the plane (I think it was) reading her Bible, among other mainifestations of Christian faith to cross his path, apparently filled him with wonder and trepidation. Where's all this presumptive fanaticism---the gist of Bob's inquiry---coming from in this enlightened day and age? I responded with Burke's definition of logology---the systematic study of theological terms for the light they may throw on the forms of language---with its implicit assertion that theological concepts and beliefs will surely be with us always, even unto the end of the age.
I should have gone further with that thought, however. It's Burke's philosophy that can explain the recrudescence of Fundamentalism in our time, not any positivism, empiricism, or scientism. From a scientistic standpoint, red-state revulsion at rampant sexuality and secularism in our popular culture is inexplicable. To a modernist, maybe even postmodernist, mindset, liberal preacher Harry Emerson Fosdick's naive prediction of 75 years ago would make eminent sense: Someday everybody's going to think like me. The dictates of the hortatory negative and its perfectionist residues will be rescinded. Under the irresistible weight of scientific demystifications, religion, except in its etiolated mainstream forms, will wither.
In my view, Scott-Coe brilliantly brings these issues to the fore once again. She makes Burke's inherently theological system (well, Chesebro called it a System in the title of HIS book) stand out clearly, figure/ground, in apt comparison with Augustine and counterpositioning with Ramus. Was Burke a theologian, and if so, what kind? Scott-Coe offers some neat stuff in partial answer to that query. (A definitive answer is not in the offing to that, as well as many other, questions about Burke and his philosophy.)
I hope to get to some of this neat stuff in later posts. If I can find them in my deep files, I might share, also, a couple of Burke's epistolary answers to my claim that he was, in fact, a theologain of a kind.
Poet, then actor, then theologian---aren't those the metaphors Burke proposed, in serial progression, for the symbol-using animal?
If you dare, tell me that's not so.

Discovery Museum celebrates region's industrial history
Connecticut is a state of many firsts: the first cotton gin, the first revolver, the first collapsible toothpaste tube, the first artificial heart and the first pay telephone.
Who knew? The Discovery Museum, for one.
All these firsts and a lot more -- such as Igor Sikorsky's first commercially successful helicopter and Gustave Whitehead's flights prior to the Wright Brothers -- are celebrated in "Connecticut Inventions & Innovations," an exhibition that runs through Nov. 1 at the Bridgeport museum.
"I had no idea when I started out that so many extraordinary things were developed and created in the area," said Susan Tabachnick, exhibit curator.
"I think the public will be fascinated to learn about the state's rich industrial past," she said.
More InformationDiscovery Museum, 4450 Park Ave., Bridgeport. Tuesday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. During July and August, also open Mondays. $9.50; $8 age 3-17, students with identification and senior citizens. www.DiscoveryMuseum.org; 203-372-3521.
The exhibition focuses on such areas as transportation, aeronautics and entertainment, while showcasing "the ingenuity and perseverance of those who achieved greatness while changing lives the world over."
Noting that the facility opened its doors in 1962 as the Museum of Art, Science and Industry, Tabachnick said the exhibition dovetails perfectly with the museum's industry and technology format.
Tabachnick said this show is the first of a series of exhibits that will rotate through the central gallery on a bi-annual basis.
"Subsequent shows will target specific entities and their past and current contributions, as well as new industries and technologies not in existence when the museum opened its doors," she added.
Some of the items visitors can expect to see, as described by the curator, are:
A 1921 Locomobile Model 48 Touring Car, courtesy of Dragone Classic Motorcars of Bridgeport. In 1908, Bridgeport's Locomobile became the first American car to win a European race.
Igor Sikorsky's first helicopter patent drawing from 1931, a flying machine "first conceived for humanitarian rescue."
Columbia Recording Corp. began producing the first commercially viable long-playing (LP) 33 1/3 RPM 12-inch records in Bridgeport. On display will be a steel master and accompanying production documents along with original records dating from 1945.
Also in the collection will be material on the life and times of Peter Garvin, a wheelwright and carriage/automobile designer (1872-1966) who contributed greatly to the thriving automobile industry in the early 20th century, she said.
According to the exhibition, Garvin was convinced to relocate to Bridgeport after reading a 1908 article in the Bridgeport Evening Farmer.
According to Tabachnick, "the article lauded the city as one of the most highly diversified manufacturing towns in the United States. At the time, over 306 different types of products were manufactured in the `Industrial Capital of Connecticut.' The article also mentioned the 900 manufacturing plants and industries in the greater Bridgeport region. It had the largest body of skilled artisans of any American city its size."
According to the designer's grandson, Donald McIntyre, Garvin worked for the top car manufacturers in the region: Locomobile, Bridgeport Vehicle Co., Blue Ribbon Garage, Bellamore Armored Car & Equipment Co., Oldsmobile and LeBaron. The Bridgeport auto industry collapsed with the Great Depression of the 1930s, the exhibit points out,.
Also explored is the history of the Merritt Parkway, the first scenic parkway in Connecticut, completed in 1940. In that same year, it was described by Cosmopolitan magazine as "the most modern super-highway in the country and perhaps the world."
Named for the late U.S. Rep. Schuyler Merritt, the parkway runs from the Greenwich line to the Housatonic River in Stratford. It was Connecticut's first divided-lane, limited-access highway, and remains free of both trucks and advertising.
According to the exhibit, as Merritt said: "It is not being built primarily to get from one place to another as rapidly as possible, but is being built to enjoy as you go..." It was Connecticut's first divided-lane, limited-access highway, and remains free of both trucks and advertising.
Over the years, the parkway has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (1991), designated as a State Scenic Road (1993) and a National Scenic Byway (1996).

As the thread sleeps with softnet_lock held, it ultimately cause a deadlock (see the PR or tech-kern thread for details). Although it should be possible to call sodopendfree() after releasing the socket lock, it's not so easy to know where he socket lock is held and where it's not, so we may hit the issue again later. Add a kernel thread to handle the so_pendfree list, and wake up this thread when adding mbufs to this list. Get rid of the various sodopendfree() calls, hopefully fixing definitively the problem.

SPAIN coach Vicente del Bosque has no regrets over passing up the chance to eliminate Italy from Euro 2012 ahead of his side's meeting with Cesare Prandelli's men in tomorow's final.
Going into their final Group C match, the world and European champions knew that a 2-2 draw against Croatia would see both teams qualify for the knockout stage at the Italians' expense, no matter what they did in their game against the Republic of Ireland.
In the event, a solitary goal from Jesus Navas saw Spain to victory and threw Italy a lifeline, one which they have seized by advancing to the final with a win on penalties over England in the last eight before defeating Germany 2-1 in the semi-finals on Thursday night.
Del Bosque says Spain's 1-1 draw against Italy in their Group C opener in Gdansk three weeks ago was their toughest test of the tournament so far, but he said: "Never have we regretted not drawing with Croatia to eliminate Italy. This wasn't good for sport.
"Italy and ourselves have lived parallel lives and now we have to be at the level that a final demands.
"They are a team with a lot of experience and are based around Andrea Pirlo and Danielle De Rossi in the centre of the field.
"Their axis is the connection between Pirlo and Mario Balotelli. In the game in the group stages they were possibly superior in the first half. They were the team that gave us most problems."
Despite going for an unprecedented third major championship in a row, Del Bosque does not believe his side should be viewed as favourites for the final.
"Italy has won the World Cup four times so we cannot speak of favourites," he said.
"It is a final and it is 50-50. That we played each other in the group stages doesn't condition the game at all.
"That day (Italy striker) Antonio Cassano said to my assistant Toni Grande, 'We will see if we meet in the final' and he we are."
The former Real Madrid boss also responded to the growing criticism of his side being boring to watch.
Spain have now gone nine knockout games in tournaments without conceding a goal but, without the injured David Villa, have often played without a natural striker, meaning goalmouth action at both ends of the pitch has been at a premium.
"We have to accept everyone's opinion," said Del Bosque.
"Some things we have done quite well, like our play in defence.
"We haven't always been able to play the aesthetic style that everyone wants, but in every moment we have had control of the games."

The American artist John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) was a superb draftsman. He also veered successfully towards impressionism. He could be pompously formal, or endearingly sentimental. But here is the painting that seems to have evoked more comment and analysis than any other, The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit, painted in Paris in 1882 (click to enlarge). It normally resides in Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, where it is prominently on display.
Four girls, ages four, eight, twelve and fourteen, receding from the illuminated foreground into an ominous dusk. There have been any number of interpretations, compositional and psychological, and I've read them all. But...
Rudolf Arnheim, the art theorist, begins his little book on Entropy and Art with this observation:
Order is a necessary condition for anything the human mind is to understand. Arrangements such as the layout of a city or building, a set of tools, a display of merchandise, the verbal exposition of facts or ideas, or a painting or piece of music are called orderly when an observer or listener can grasp their overall structure and the ramification of the structure in some detail. Order makes it possible to focus on what is alike and what is different, what belongs together and what is segregated. When nothing superfluous is included and nothing indispensable left out, one can understand the interrelation of the whole and its parts, as well as the hierarchic scale of importance and power by which some structural features are dominant, others subordinate.Well, that's all well and good, but what does it mean? Entropy is a physical concept, a tendency of the universe towards disorder. But clearly this is opposed by ordering principles in nature, or else we wouldn't be here. Entropy may grind everything to dust in the end, but in the meantime nature -- and art -- builds islands of order at the expense of a greater diminishment of order elsewhere.
As Arnheim suggests, understanding requires order, and science thrives best where order is most manifest. But perfect order is not the natural habitat of the human mind. Utopias and heaven smack of boredom, says Arnheim, and he is surely right. Our aesthetic sense seems to require some encroachment of entropy, some hint of degradation. And our aesthetic sense is best fulfilled when -- in art, or music, or the layout of a city -- we have an ordered focus that invites repose and a mildly threatening ambience of adventure.
Little four-year-old Julia fixes us with her innocent gaze. Her eight year-old sister Mary Louisa is slightly more abstracted. Twelve year-old Jane illuminates the shadow. Fourteen year-old Florence has turned away from us; she stands like a caryatid at the porch of darkness.
I would propose that Sargent's Daughters transfixes us with the same attraction as a Grimm fairy tale -- Snow-White and Rose-Red, for example -- that same exquisite balance of invitation and menace, order and entropy, that is the natural playground of the human mind.

For Immediate Release
November 4, 2009
Atlanta, GA – Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life, commented today on Abby Johnson, the former director of a Planned Parenthood clinic who quit and became pro-life after actually viewing an ultrasound of an abortion as it was taking place.
"The lesson that Abby Johnson teaches is a lesson of great hope," said Dr. King. "No one can escape the power of the truth. They can try to deny it, ignore it, or hide it, but they can't escape it. We at Priests for Life minister all the time to former abortion providers and guide them to repentance and healing. And we see people who, like Abby Johnson, repent of abortion only after they have seen it face to face. Let's hold all of them up in prayer."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

A bit of a challenge
Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2013 8:41 am
I bought this KTM Strada SL because It was a lesser known brand, a good size for me and I had a nice chrome fork ready to go. I now find that the headset required is an obscure Austrian size. Not JIS or ISO. Should be good fun playing around with shims. Let me know if you happen to have an Austrian headset lying around. Not sure if the bottom bracket will also be an obscure size.

Historic Royal Palaces, a charity that runs Diana's former residence, Kensington Palace, bought the two gowns on Tuesday at a London auction of the princess's dresses.
The charity said Wednesday the dresses will remain in Britain and will be shown to the public in exhibitions. It hopes to show at least one of the gowns at a display of royal dresses this summer.
The gowns are a Bruce Oldfield black velvet evening gown Diana wore in 1985 and an ivory and pink sequined crepe dress by Catherine Walker worn on a state visit to Brazil in 1991.
The two combined were sold for more than 107,000 pounds ($162,266.)

Just a while ago, Ubisoft announced that we'll be getting a new Assassin's Creed title in the next fiscal year. That'll come out anywhere from October this year to September of 2014 but it might be sooner than you think.
I'm taking a wait and see approach. AC3 was the most disappointing game of the year for me last year, and yes, I remember that Mass Effect 3 and Resident Evil 6 were 2012 titles.
Yep i didnt like it either. Connor ruined the whole game. I bet it be a spin off unless its for PS4 if it comes out this year.
If its a spin off and Connor is the main character this will be the 1st AC i wont touch.
IGN confirmed that Ubisoft was done with Connor and he wont star in the next AC.
I actually liked him too
I had no issues with Connor, granted he was little of a pussy but still... he wasn't that bad to not let him reappear.
AC3 was a great game, had many technical issues, but the game itself was pretty amazing. Especially the sea battles, it was the first time in a while i got awed by what they achieved with the ships and water physics. I found myself going back to the ship missions over and over again.
However, the frontier was gorgeous. great set design and graphics. I was more dissapointed with the in town stuff. Snoozefest.
connor was alright. but that ending was completely stupid. you go through all that trouble for it to end like that? thought ubisoft promised that ac3 answer all of our questions...
I'm about 60-70% complete with the Game and I haven't been compelled to play it again since about 5 days after it was released.
I like the story and I want to see what happens, but everything is so tedious and it's like I'm just trying to get through it, which is not a sign of a fun game.
Pirates anyone?
Lets freaking hope so. I guess they mustve been inspired by the great Naval battle system they had.
Plus, after the cancellation of Armada of the Damned, we havent had any good Pirate Sandbox/RPG games at all...
I agree, I actually really liked the Naval battles in the game.
I would've liked for there to have been more to do with them.
Even if there was like a free roam and could attack ships..
Turn of the 19th Century; Themes such as American Exceptionalism & the breakup of Imperialistic Europe, with cities such as art-deco Paris, industrial Liverpool & tsarist Moscow. Mixed with pre-WW1 steampunk-esque weapons & gadgets.
That's an AC that I'd like to play.
Pirates, Samurais, or Vikings.. All sound good for the next ac.
I actually enjoyed AC3 over the past ones. To me the setting was more exciting, there was much to do beside the main story (Naval, Homestead, mini-games, side missions, crafting (enabling you to fire four times)), the way the story were told and the scenery was way more detailed.
Connor never bothered me either, and I had minimal bugs. Desmond's ending was total crap though.
I guess the love I had for AC3 made me blind to its mistakes.
I'm guessing the next AC will be about the french revolution as it was inspired by the american revolution. If the main character is Connor again I hope he evolves and is not as ignorant as he were in AC3.
I see us getting an AC game this year but it won't be AC4. Connor going come back one more time i think before AC4. Him and avalein perhapes together for this next one. I enjoyed AC3 as well in fact it's my favorite.
Im with you Mykky, I loved AC3. I thought Connor was a great character. I loved the way that he strived for peace and non-violent resolutions, but in the end he would kill to protect his tribe and his land. Ya gotta respect that.
Also agree that the graphics and storytelling were also fantastic... and yes, I thought Desmonds story was shite as well
Still cannot See AC4 out this year though. We will see 2 or 3 spin offs first like with AC3 Ubisoft love to milk there games.
After AC2, all AC games are like twilight to me now. Many, all of them suck, unnecessary.
Agreed. You don't become an assassin until over way through the game, and even then you don't do much 'assassinating'
i completely agree, while the game was pretty disappointing what was pulling me through was the thought of the ending. the entire time i thought to myself "this is going to be so great, finally the trilogy ends, cant wait till i finally get there!"(note: unlike many others, my favorite part about AC was the modern day part, even if dismond was kind of a wimp).
after that ending it was clear to me that ubi doesnt give two shits about the story. i understand that they wanted to continue the AC series but they still could've done that by neatly finishing up the modern day aspect(the part that the majority dont even like) and continuing the series w/ the animus(like Liberations)
long story short, I'm done with AC. Like Altier & Ezio say, "I've seen enough for one life."
Well if it had a subtitle it wouldn't be AC4 now would it
Besides I hope it's not with Connor and the American Revolution. Connor sucked completely
Oh and if it IS pirate themed which i have to admit "Black Flags" does sound it then that means a lot of naval battles on the seas....I must be the only one who hated the naval battle missions. They were cool at first but felt like a chore
You're not the only one. Although I felt the whole game was boring, really lost its way.
Black Flags might refer to Anarchism, you could see how that plotline might work, Anarchists were at their most active in the 19th and early 20th century and they did their share of political assassinations.
E32013 well "surprisingly" get another assassians creed,you know I used to be a huge fan but once ubisoft started milking ac and neglecting pop and bg&e, I just could care less for the series anymore,heck I had to force myself to beat the last game.
EDIT: let me guess disagrees are from blind assassians creed fanboys
I'm disagree with your reason not that you couldn't care less. I'm not excited for AC4 because AC3 sucked, I couldn't care less about POP and BG&E.
Thats a dumb reason to disagree, my main point was that ac is milked to death and the games are getting boring,besides I could care less if you dont like pop or bg&e,but you do know that you would not have assassians creed had it not been for prince of Persia.
They are being milked, but developers have their "rotation" of games that have to meet a release in a given period.
The only thing I see Activision rotating is the COD series. While EA rotates Deadspace, Medal Of Honor (out of rotation) Battlefield coming (next year) ME4 ( maybe fall of 2014)Dragon Age (Spring of next year.
Next gen is upon us and new Ips are being made from EA a Ubisoft and hopefully Activision.
Please let it be set in Victorian London. Or even a territory in the British Empire for that matter!
I strongly suspect that the next one will be during the French Revolution.
I was disappointed with AC3 and yet have to complete it despite receiving it as a Christmas gift. AC3 require too much aimless running and that is boring, also, Connor is ridiculously boring. But yeah, this will be the first one I've missed. The series has been run into the ground with yearly releases.
Interesting. Just dont make it as bad as ac3
Lets hope the take 2 years instead of one, this time.
A seperate team was actually developing ac3 from the start of 2010, after ac2
Bigger isnt always better. They should really focus and refine the game, instead of making it big and putting everyone on it.
I think thats why Revelations was amazing from start to finish, and AC3 failed in a few places
Yes AC3 was dissapointing! Connor was the worst character in the series. Just hope they don't continue with conner or I will pass on AC4
Didn't you finish the game?
He is done. There will be a new protagonist.
We never saw Connor die did we? AC has always had more then one protagonist thats been desmond & the current assasin, we do know desmond is dead but Connor was not killed.
-- Spoilers --
At the end of AC3, you start chasing Charles Lee on a ship. They put too much pressure on the fragile wooden board with their weight when they run on it hastily, Connor eventually falls off the ship as it breaks down, and terriblly hurts one of his legs, becoming disabled permenantly. In the cutscenes of the epilogue sequence which takes 6 months after the last mission, you'll notice that he's still limping. Hence, he's done with what he does.
MEH, I enjoy Assassin's Creed 1,2,3 etc etc but I'm getting tired of it
Series needs to end for awhile.
To many of them.
ENOUGH WITH THE AC TITLES, UBISOFT! Give it a rest for a while, and come back when you have a really polished title to show us. Almost everyone agrees that the games have some noticable flaws anyway, so you have your work cut out for you.
Not suprising really, for the past few years they been releasing AC around the month of October.
Black Flags? Let it be based on being a pirate! I loved the ship parts of AC3... would love to see something really focused on the pirate life. It's been far too long since we had a good pirate game.... ARRRRRRHHH MATEY!
1000x this.
Though I'd still want the awesome parkour elements from AC3. Loved the Frontier, new stealth options, etc.
I would think, though, that there would still be a 'base of operations'
Something like the 'Frontier,' along with all the trading elements.
I would also expect there to be cites and towns, just like the other games.
Which would still be open to all the parkour elements of the game.
Well, yeah.
But even if it was just a spin-off that was only about naval combat, I'd still buy it.
Imagine a game with 70 odd naval battles, with coastal bombardment, boarding other ships, big fleet engagements, all kinds of weather conditions, and ship customization out the gazoo...
Like, I dunno, AC3's naval combat + Armored Core.
My problem is: I want both.
With a character like Captain Jack Sparrow! >.<
Hmmm, I don't think it's time for an ACIV yet. I think Connor and Brazilian Independance was a good idea. They should do that. I'd be cool with 2 more Connor games so long as they're good.
So what happened to ubisoft talking about the "#" episodes of the game mean BIG change. I actually really enjoyed ACIII i have loved all of them & spent a hell of a lot of time just look at my avatar i love them but i need more info. Having said that thouhg i will play it!
The pacing and story of AC3 was a mess imo and the ending felt like a slap in the face. I was hoping for closure not another cliffhanger(Felt like one to me) like all the games before had, but then again maybe I just had high expectations.
Thats the problem with releasing so many AC games in such a short amount of time.
Before AC3 came out, the gameplay was getting stale and boring as it was pretty much the same across the first 4 games. Being in the same sort of location all the time among the games didn't help either.
AC3, at least for a while was a little fresh helped by the totally different era/location, but then that same old gameplay reared its head and thats when I ended up putting the game down.
I am honestly getting tired of the same old gameplay to be honest. If the games were released 2 years apart, the gameplay wouldn't have felt as stale as it does now.
different teams doing different AC games AC3 was in development for a while not just one year and brotherhood and revelations was based off novels...i have an ac book about connors father before coming to america
That title...sounds like a ps vita spin off. I mean look at AC on vita, its called Assassin's Creed III: Liberation.
I'd like less Desmond/present day stuff and more past. Playing Assassins Creed on Vita now and to not have that has been a nice break. Enjoyed AC3 but I feel like what has been great in the past, Ubisoft totally changes it. Then brings in new stuff that ruins it A.K.A. the defense game. I liked the Sea battles but didn't like the assassin recruitment this time as much as other AC titles. In AC Liberation on VITA, I just got the whip and am having some fun with it.
After the great disappointment of AC3 on almost every aspect,(only exception is in graphics - which were awesome), I highly doubt I'll pay $60 for AC4.
Ubisoft - Please bring back Ezio. Conor (or his dad) suck huge time :(
I want a modern day assassins creed in a business Suit.
Good grief,
Another AC already?
UbiSoft is beginning to look more & more Call of duty'ish,
& I don't think I like it.
I enjoyed & finish 1 & 2, finished Brotherhood, skipped Revelations, & now lingering with 3.
I kind of 'fell off' of AC after Brotherhood, I felt like I've done all that the franchise can deliver.
I stooped at brotherhood. Maybe another time ubi.
The thing is, COD is a 4 hour campaign. AC is more like 20 hours, 30-40 if you do everything.
A new AC every year is worse than a new COD, I'm tired of building a group of assassin's, building a home/city only to have hours of gameplay essentially reset every year.
Since Ubisoft have gone to the effort to create Old American cities, they will milk that work and the next 2 or 3 AC games will:
1. Not be called AC 4
2. Be set in America
AC4 due in 2016 will be set in a new location.
Only the TRUE numbered sequels offer fresh locations and characters but not gameplay.

FUSA needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 60 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
We are a development group. We send out letters to property owners in the hope they are interested in selling their property onto us. We need the logo to be professional yet inviting to encourage the property owner to make contact with us.
Target audience are large property owners who would be interested in selling for a good price.
We need this logo to mainly establish trust, and make the landowner WANT to contact us to start negotiations.
Some elements that we might like to see incorporated are things that give of a welcoming / inviting / trustworthy vibe (eg hands, leaves etc). We also want to avoid things that give the impression of a rich / money hungry corporation (eg large building etc). But we do want some element of property / house / development in it.
Once logo is decided on, we will also need a letterhead, business card, and envelope design which includes logo, corporate colour, and some other simple info (Eg address) that we will provide. We will need all the original (.ai, .eps etc) files for future use.
Update: the kind of hands we would like to see are similar to the attached pictures. we want the hands to appear welcoming.

PowerDreams did an interview with Bernd Korz, CEO of YellowTAB. The original German version has been translated to English (by an Italian website). Interesting bits: "The LiveCD caught on unbelievably well and worldwide. We have more than 1 million CDs out in the market, thanks to many magazines." And, something that always interests me: "The response and level of publicity is surprisingly good and we have open doors everywhere at hardware manufacturers." That hardware part is crucial for the alternative OS market.

Of the 36 credits, 20 must be earned in one disciplinary area and 16 credits must be chosen from courses at the 3000-level or higher. The balance of credits needed for graduation should be selected in consultation with the student's academic advisor and the Undergraduate Chair to ensure that the student's individual educational and career objectives can be attained.
A student seeking to earn a B.A. in Business and Technology Studies should first schedule an appointment with the Undergraduate Chair of the School of Business and Technology or a designated advisor to discuss the appropriateness of the school major and a proposed course of study. Students submit the application to major form and an essay to the dean. The essay should explain how earning a B.A. in Business and Technology Studies advances the educational and career goals of the student.

Economists like to say that everything in the world can be explained by economics. While perhaps that is a slight exaggeration, the fact is that economists study issues as small as how people decide what to do during a day and as large as global warming. Economics is a field that students will be able to use throughout their lives.
If a student desires a major that will provide a challenge; qualify him/her for virtually any management position; allow the opportunity to double major; and give insight on many of the opportunities that will be presented in everyday life, a major in Applied Economics would be an appropriate choice. With the Applied Economics major the student will focus on classes that are interesting and provide information that will be useful throughout his/her whole life. The Applied Economics major also lets the student broaden his/her horizons by taking classes outside of the major. This helps graduating Applied Economics majors to have a wide-ranging education that will be helpful in virtually every job market.

The grimace on St. Louis Rams quarterback Kellen Clemens' face said it all, an obvious sign of pain dealt by rookie outside linebacker Adrian Hamilton.
Prior to being cut by the Dallas Cowboys on Friday during the final major roster cutdown and agreeing to a practice squad contract with the Ravens on Saturday, Hamilton delivered a punishing blow to Clemens in the third preseason game that separated the quarterback from the football and his helmet.
Immortalized on YouTube, video of the sack and forced fumble has garnered attention for Hamilton since joining the Ravens.

Mike Manning figured the Bluffton High girls soccer team would be a work in progress this spring.
The Bobcats' coach has implemented a defense-first system to suit his new players' individual skills and, as he predicted, it is taking some time to adjust.
"I knew it was going to be a struggle," Manning said after Tuesday's 2-0 region-opening loss to Colleton County. "It's frustrating, of course, for any coach to go through that. We have progressed pretty well. I like the way we're headed."
Goals have been hard to come by for the Bobcats since the regular season began. They opened with an 8-0 loss to Hilton Head Island, tied Savannah Christian 1-1 and lost to Savannah Arts Academy 3-0 before the Colleton County game.
Bluffton played more tough competition this weekend at the Michael Nash Memorial tournament at North Myrtle Beach.
"I've never shied away from a tough schedule. It does make us better and expose those weaknesses," Manning said. "I always try to schedule a step above what I think our region play is going to be. I want to be as prepared as we can."
Manning decided to focus on defense this season after he assessed his incoming roster. The Bobcats' midfielders are more inclined to set up their teammates than attack the goal themselves.
Unlike in past years, Manning wants his forwards to play back and help out on defense and have the offense pick its spots.
It worked well for most of Tuesday's game, as only a penalty kick separated the teams before Colleton County got a second goal with about eight minutes remaining.
Bluffton's offense set up a handful of good looks near the goal, but could not finish. A pair of shots bounced off the post.
"We really have a hard time finishing the ball," senior Clementine Folan said, "but that's something we've been working on in practice a lot."
Manning expects to play many more tight match-ups in region play. Colleton County fell to Summerville in a 1-0 game and Fort Dorchester already has played one-goal games against Beaufort and Ashley Ridge.
As the Bobcats spend more time in the new system, their coach expects better results to follow.
"We've got three freshmen between the goalie and the two center-backs, so mistakes are going to happen at that age," Manning said. "They're going to have to learn from that. We're learning as we're going."
What: Bluffton vs. Fort Dorchester
When: 7 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Bobcat Stadium

I won't bore you with the details of my chili recipe… well, mainly because there isn't one. My chili is often different every time it is made. I don't really use a recipe, just kind of pick and pour… anyway, that's not what this post is for.
Where I'm from, cornbread is often a staple with chili – that or corn chips, or both… Usually I go the easy way – and use a box or pre-mix corn bread base, but tonight I decided I would make a scratch recipe. I had just bought a new can of corn meal – which I like to use on pans for pizza crust… and there was a recipe on the back. I thought, why not… Ok, well the recipe was very good; cake-like and far from dry and crumbly. My husband just raved over it. This recipe is nothing fancy, nothing bursting from the likes of Iron Chef, but a simple delicious cornbread that comes together very easily. Here's the recipe:
Easy Corn Bread
from the back of the Quaker Corn Meal Can
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup enriched corn meal
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 egg whites or 1 egg, beaten
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease 8 or 9 inch pan.
Combine dry ingredients. Stir in milk, oil and egg, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 20 – 25 minutes or until light golden brown and wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm. Makes 9 servings.
You can also make into muffins – 12 regular size muffins, baking 15 – 30 minutes.

The invention and introduction of nuclear weapons into our society was an astronomical find that shaped the way nation states around the world perceived war. Nuclear weapons use the power of the atom to create tremendous explosive force. They also produce radiation, which can cause genetic mutations and be lethal for thousands of years. These weapons of mass destruction allowed states to possess weapons capable of destroying cities along with masses of civilians. The nuclear weapon gave nations to power to eliminate foreign foes and extend fear in the psyche of nations with less military might and weapons of mass destruction. This imminent threat started with the one the most important figures of the nuclear age, the Danish theoretical physicist Niels Bohr. Bohr set the nuclear path by helping to harness atomic power. However the perils presented by the atomic energy deeply troubled him. Bohr could envision the disastrous effect this bomb would have on all facets of life throughout the world and history. "He carried on a personal campaign during the war to alert the leaders of the United States and Great Britain to these perils, and to persuade them to put the new force under national supervision" Mandelbaum 6). Bohr understood if these weapons were put to use by a nation that it would be revolutionary development in which the effect could not be reversed. Nation-states like the United States and Soviet Union did not share his belief and decided to advance their military armaments with the atomic bomb. After the US bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the world had turned in a nuclear arms race as politics and national ideologies sparked the arms race. Many questions arose from the initial bombing of the Japan cities Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The greatest issue facing nuclear weapons was the morality of the bombing by the United States on Japan to end WWII. This paper will explore major issues the United States that affected my position in determining whether it was proper for the United States to use nuclear weapons to end the WWII.

Shortly after Northwestern survived an ugly performance to beat Minnesota on Saturday and improve to 6-1, two officials sat down in the postgame press conference wearing yellow Fiesta Bowl jackets.
With Ohio State and Penn State ineligible for the postseason and the Big Ten not having a team currently ranked in the BCS standings, the representatives from one of the premier bowls in the country were asked what interest they had in the Wildcats and Golden Gophers.
``We also have the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl,'' one of them said.
That sounds about right.
The college football season has turned the corner to the second half, and no one is more pleased to put the first half behind than those in the maligned Big Ten.
For a conference that was already being characterized as inferior to the likes of the SEC and Big 12, 2012 couldn't have started much worse for the Big Ten. Ohio State and Penn State - two of the conference's marquee programs - had no shot for postseason play from the get-go because of NCAA sanctions.
Then one of its biggest hopefuls to restore pride to the conference - Michigan - was routed by Alabama in the season opener. The embarrassments kept coming: Iowa losing at home to Iowa State and Central Michigan; Wisconsin had close shaves at home against Northern Iowa and Utah State; and Michigan State was thumped by Notre Dame.
The second half of the season allows the Big Ten to find its collective footing and try to build some momentum toward the bowls, and there are some signs it's happening. Iowa and Michigan are 2-0 in the conference, Northwestern just keeps finding ways to win and Wisconsin appears to have righted itself and gotten back to its power-running ways.
``Early in the year you're just kind of getting into position,'' Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said. ``The No. 1 goal for everybody is to win their conference. You're starting to hit that stretch. Just about everyone has six games left. You want to be starting to hit your peak. That's the challenge.''
The Badgers appeared lost over the first three weeks, unable to get Montee Ball and the ground game going, sweating out close home wins over lesser opponents and losing 10-7 at Oregon State. Coach Bret Bielema fired offensive line coach Mike Markuson after the first game, and the big guys up front have responded in impressive fashion.
Last week, Ball racked up 247 yards in a win over Purdue. Now, with Ohio State and Penn State ineligible for the inaugural Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis, the Badgers are in position to represent the Leaders Division.
``We made some fairly significant changes that at the time when we made those choices we knew our guys would have to battle through and endure,'' Bielema said. ``And our players have been able to do that.''
If any team could use a fresh start it's Purdue. The Boilermakers started the season with high expectations but they've been hammered in back-to-back weeks against Michigan and Wisconsin, raising questions about coach Danny Hope's job security.
If anything has gone right for the conference this season, it has happened in Columbus, Ohio and State College, Pa. Penn State has somehow weathered the incredible nightmare of the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal and Joe Paterno's subsequent death, winning four of the first six games, including their first two in the conference.
Coach Bill O'Brien has the defense playing like the stingy Nittany Lions' units of old, giving weary fans a reason for optimism going forward.
``If you just watch the tape you see coach O'Brien's impact,'' Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. ``He's a tremendous coach.''
Urban Meyer isn't so bad himself, and his first season at Ohio State is off to a roaring start. The Buckeyes are 7-0 and ranked seventh, joining 23rd-ranked Michigan as the only Big Ten teams in The Associated Press Top 25.
Quarterback Braxton Miller has emerged as one of the best players in the nation and Meyer is already showing dividends on the recruiting trail.
``He understands the offense and manages the offense much better this year,'' Hope said of Miller. ``He's a fantastic athlete and a great competitor and there's nothing he can't do.''
Of course, much of the improvement several of these teams have shown could be coming because they're playing other mediocre teams in the conference.
Then again, better days could be on the horizon. Even after what many would consider a subpar Big Ten season last year, the Wolverines still came away with a win over Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl.
And no matter how well things go for Iowa in the second half, Ferentz won't allow his Hawkeyes to forget the struggles of the first month.
``We went through a very, very tough loss and we deserved it. The team we lost to played better,'' Ferentz said of Central Michigan. ``That's not that far in our rearview mirror and that's a good reminder what kind of a team we are. We really have to do everything perfect and that's darn near impossible.''

Is there an association between thyroid cancer and colon cancer?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I had thyroid cancer and have diverticulosis. What are my risks? Should I be tested more often?
James D. Lewis, MD, MSCE, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Senior Scholar at the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, and Senior Fellow in the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
I am unaware of an association between thyroid cancer and colon cancer. Persons with diverticulosis may have a slightly increased risk of colon cancer, but the magnitude of this risk and the reason for this are not well understood. The presence of diverticulosis is currently not an indication for increased screening. Depending on your age, persons with lower gastrointestinal bleeding should undergo an examination of the colon, usually with colonoscopy. For very young patients, sigmoidoscopy may be sufficient. Once a good colonoscopy has been done, subsequent screening recommendations would not necessarily be influenced by the presence of diverticular disease.
