Jason Fogelson, Contributor
I cover luxury automotive, motorcycles and related topics.
Buick is an easy target for car reviewers. I'm going to rise above my baser instinct, and avoid all Buick jokes. They just don't apply anymore.
Okay, just one. An old man goes to see an eye doctor, and upon inspection, the doctor tells him, "It looks like you have a cataract." The old man says, "No, I drive a Buick."
I drove a Buick Verano this week, the 2012 Buick Verano FWD 1SL, to be exact. According to General Motors, Verano is Buick's first attempt to compete in the compact luxury segment. That puts it up against the Lexus IS 250, BMW 3-series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, Acura TSX and a few others. With prices for the 2012 Buick Verano starting at $23,470 ($28,245 as tested), Verano isn't priced to compete with the compact luxury sedans, which start about $10,000 higher. Verano matches up better with the popular sedans like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata. Sorry, Buick — you don't get to pick your competitors and share their luxury credentials by assertion.
That's not a criticism of Verano — we haven't gotten there yet. It's a rejection of the marketing ploy, that's all. I'd rather take a clear-eyed view of the new Buick without labeling it "luxury" or "non-luxury."
Verano's exterior design is clean, modern and inoffensive. The big front grille reminds me of Buicks past, but the big jeweled headlights that wrap around the front corners of the vehicle make me think about the future. The teardrop-shaped daylight opening is rimmed with chrome, giving a nice continuity to Verano's profile view. The signature Buick engine compartment ports have migrated up to the top of the front fenders, unfortunately invisible from the side of the vehicle. The sedan's four doors are very plain, with just a touch of chrome on the handles to lend interest. The roof slopes down and gently meets the trunk lid, which is decked out with big taillight assemblies that wrap onto the rear fenders and around the corners of the car. Paint quality and overall fit and finish are good, if unremarkable. For a vehicle that has just hit the market this year, Verano breaks little new ground in exterior design.
Verano is between the size of a Toyota Corolla and a Toyota Camry at 183.9″ in total length (a Corolla is 180″ long; a Camry is 189.2″). I use the Toyotas as a point of comparison, because that's where I think the real competition lies. Verano is very close in size, appointments, price and appeal to Camry, and I suspect that many Verano shoppers will consider Camry before they decide on Verano.
Getting behind the wheel of Verano is pretty easy. It's always a matter of compromise when you squeeze four doors onto a compact vehicle, and Buick's designers have done a good job of making both the front and rear compartments accessible. Comfortable dual bucket seats do the job in the front seat, with plenty of adjustments. Aided by the manual tilt/telescope steering wheel, I was able to find a comfortable driving position. I was less than thrilled with the color of the interior leather seating surfaces, which Buick called "Choccachino," which is a flattering name for a color I would never choose. At least the seats were supportive, neither overly stuffed nor too hard. Second row passengers didn't complain about headroom, but had to negotiate with front row passengers to get enough legroom.
Verano comes with Buick's Intellilink telematics system, which provides voice recognition, Bluetooth phone and audio pairing, available satellite radio and Pandora and Stitcher radio apps built in. Using your cellphone as the data connection, Intellilink can access the internet-based music and entertainment services. It's a very cool feature, and a hint that Buick isn't standing still on technology. Navigation is available, and like on all GM vehicles, OnStar is standard. I'd skip the navigation and just keep OnStar, because the system works so well. Verano has a proximity key and pushbutton engine start/stop, with a button that's placed on the upper left corner of the center stack — unlike any other vehicle I've encountered. Different for the sake of different?
A simple visit to the on-line configurators for the Toyota Camry and the Buick Verano disproves them as competitors. With comparable equipment, a Verano is priced @$3,000 less than a Camry. Yes, the Camry is a larger vehicle– but that's the point. The Camry is a mass market mid-size car. A loaded Camry competes with the Buick Regal, a mid-size, not the Verano.
The Verano is a FWD compact that offers a high level of content. The only thing comparable in the Toyota range is a Lexus CT200h, which is smaller and slower, but has a hybrid powertrain, so it's not comparable to a Verano, either.
Buick has made a smart move. They've placed a vehicle in a niche that has no competitors in its size, equipment and price range. The upcoming Honda Civic-based Acura ILX may compete with it, or a loaded Jetta.
You missed the very best part about a Verano.
That is- you don't have to fill a Verano up with $3.79 a gallon Arab fuel. Instead, you can fill it up with $2.89 a gallon American-made E85 flex-fuel at almost 3,000 stations around the country. http://e85prices.com
The Verano is Chevy Cruze's city-class cousin, who sips American-made fuel like a country cousin.
Congrats to Buick for the first commercially successful, widely available 4-cylinder Flex-Fuel car.
Well basically regular GM – how is possible someone to consider a car with
the same type of engine (180hp 4cyl) ahead of Camry if it gives significantly worse mileage? That basically means lack of technology, poor software and possibly mediocre gear box. The front is terrible by the way – if Buick want to keep "classic" Buick look they have to look in a way to make it better. Just follow the BMW pattern – all BMW have the same grille but is never look old.
The Buick Verano is a great car and is already proven in other markets, its new to North America. The writer of this story failed to note that. There is no current Toyota that can be compared to this car and a Camry is a downgrade compared to this car. Buick has done a fine job with the Verano and other versions are on the way, expect a 2.0 Turbo and a mild hybrid version to roll out in due time. The 7 inch touch screen is very good and when you play Pandora with the Buick Intellilink its stunning. So lets give Buick a thumbs up for the Verano.
The vast majority of people who use Pandora on their phones have unlimited data plans and would face no data charges. The 2.0T is on sale in Asia and also in Europe on their versions of the Verano. I know its hard to accept that a Buick is this good, and its just halftime. Turn on Pandora and give Buick a thumbs up.
It's too bad there's no slightly downsized Atkinson cycle engine option with a powerful electric motor hybrid system to get more efficiency and at least the same performance in the Verano. Perhaps in a few years when lithium ion batteries go up in energy density and down in price.
Jason, I do not agree with your comparisons with the Verano. I am a baby boomer who was driving VW jettas and just traded in my 08 Passat Lux on a new base model Verano. I love this car! It does have the sporty ride and handling that I like, yet is more comfortable and quiet than the VW. The seats are very comfortable with 8 way manual adjustment. The engine and six speed transmission work beautifully smooth. I just got 34.2 mpg on regular gas driving on the expressway. I like the big wheels and tires vs, the little wheels and tires on the VW's and burning regular instead of premium. This car is a huge step forward for Buick from the boring past!
Hi! A soundbite from Quebec Canada.
I have a question to which I cannot get an answer here. My new Verano seems to be running at low gears. (I'm not using the manual shifting). It seems that wehenever the car hits under 60 and down we hear a lot of gear noises and at 40, we feel like being pulled forward in the few last shiftings.. I've hade GM products all my life (Malibus, Regal etc) and never had this kind of problem on a new car.
My dealer says that I should wait to reach 8,000 kil…the car computor will then get used to my driving. Truth or baloney?. Hope I ghet get a reaction to this note.

Metaglas windows are widely used in sanitary service. Here one is shown configured to accept a sanitary-service clamp.
Fact: For a good reason, MetaClamp® fused glass/metal sight glasses are made of borosilicate glass to DIN 7080 as standard. That''s because, in addition to having less strength than borosilicate glass, soda lime is also more susceptible to corrosion, thermal shock, and high temperatures.
Myth: Fused glass/metal sight glasses have small bubbles and crevices along the glass/metal seam that create bacteria traps.
Fact: It is possible that tiny bubbles will develop at the transition from glass to metal in the manufacturing process when using either soda-lime glass or, to a lesser extent, borosilicate glass. But, in a MetaClamp sight glass such bubbles are inconsequential since they are quite small and few in number, and they will not be found at or near the surface. Also, these sight glasses comply with DIN 7079 which dictates the allowable number and size of bubbles resulting from the manufacturing process.
Myth: MetaClamp fused glass/metal sight windows are limited in that they cannot be electropolished.
Fact:All MetaClamp sight glasses can be electropolished to any desired finish.

Leicester stun Worcester at the death
January 4, 2013
Leicester clinch last-gasp victory over Worcester%]
Leicester Tigers climbed to the top of the Aviva Premiership table with a last-gasp 19-14 victory over Worcester in their clash at Sixways on Friday night.
Warriors' first victory over the Tigers since March 2006 looked likely for large parts of a gripping encounter. But Leicester prevailed, courtesy of two second-half penalty tries, the second one being awarded in the final minute by referee JP Doyle.
Worcester wing David Lemi scored an early try and three Andy Goode penalties against his former club ensured Warriors occupied the driving seat. Leicester, though, mounted a fightback either side of Goode being sin-binned, with wing Scott Hamilton touching down before Tigers claimed an opening penalty try that England international Toby Flood converted. Flood also missed three penalties, but he added the extras to Tigers' late clincher and Worcester were denied as Leicester went top above long-time league leaders Harlequins.
And their night was made doubly sweet by England flanker Tom Croft making an impressive 50-minute contribution on his first appearance since suffering a neck injury last April. Croft's return was among 12 changes to the Leicester side that accounted for Gloucester last weekend, with England trio Manu Tuilagi, Tom Youngs and Geoff Parling all rested from a team captained by lock Louis Deacon.
Worcester boss Richard Hill, meanwhile, made six switches following the defeat against Premiership relegation favourites Sale Sharks last time out, including a start for scrum-half Jonny Arr instead of jaw injury victim Paul Hodgson.
England head coach Stuart Lancaster was among a capacity Sixways crowd of just over 12,000, and Worcester made all the running as they established an 8-0 lead inside the opening 16 minutes.

Goode landed a penalty when Tigers infringed in front of the posts 35 metres out, then slick work by centre Jon Clarke and fullback Chris Pennell created Lemi's fifth Premiership try this season.
Leicester were rocked back on their heels, unable to establish a territorial foothold, and Goode extended Worcester's advantage through another penalty when Tigers prop Martin Castrogiovanni infringed. There was no stopping Worcester, with Goode completing his penalty hat-trick shortly after Martin Castrogiovanni was yellow-carded by Doyle for an illegal tackle.
Leicester, despite fielding 10 internationals, had no answer to Worcester's accuracy and verve, with Warriors retaining a vice-like grip on the contest as half-time approached. Wing Josh Drauniniu had a couple of chances to test the Leicester defence, but Tigers gave themselves a lifeline deep into injury time.
Flood and fullback Mathew Tait combined to send Hamilton over in the corner, yet there was more grief for Worcester when Goode was sin-binned for dropping his knee on the New Zealander as he touched down. It was dreadful indiscipline by Goode, but Flood missed the conversion and then a penalty from halfway, and Worcester trooped off 14-5 ahead.
With Goode still off, Pennell took over goalkicking duties, but he missed two chances in as many minutes before Goode returned. Leicester, though, now had momentum, and with international props Dan Cole and Marcos Ayerza appearing off the bench, there was no let-up for Worcester as Doyle punished them for collapsing a scrum by awarding Tigers a penalty try.
The ESPN panel discuss Leicester's last-gasp win%]
Flood slotted the conversion, which cut Worcester's advantage to just two points, but Warriors regained their composure with Goode once again pulling the strings. Despite Goode missing a 67th-minute penalty, Worcester were again asking Leicester questions, and the visitors needed to regroup as they targeted a sixth successive victory in all competitions.
Leicester laid siege inside Worcester's 22 as the clock ticked down, and their pressure was rewarded with another penalty try when Warriors' scrum capitulated. Tigers then had a mere 10 seconds to hold on from the restart, and Worcester - not for the first time this season - were left to fret about a game that got away.
Leicester rugby director Richard Cockerill admitted his team had to dig deep for their sixth successive victory in all competitions. "Worcester played exceptionally well - we were outplayed in the first-half," he said. "The try just before half-time really picked us up, but if Worcester had won tonight I don't think we could have had any complaints.
His Warriors counterpart Richard Hill was left to rue the sin-binning of Goode - Worcester's 11th yellow card of the Premiership season - two more than any other club. "The crucial moment was the Andy Goode sin-binning," he said. "I am convinced if Andy had been on we'd have slotted those two penalties over. It was a key blow. Yet again, we found ourselves down to 14 men. It probably cost us the game - the small margins are crucial."

Stella Maris (1 Star Hotels) Capri
Via Roma, 27 - Capri Tel. +39 081 8377246 , Fax +39 081 8378662
A small, central and economic hotel on Capri? Stella Maris!
Three reasons why you'll love it here
- 50m from the Piazzetta: you couldn't get more central!
- A room with view of the sea: treat yourself!
- One of the few hotels on Capri open all year
Sometimes one star really is all you need, especially when that one star is a mere 50 meters away from the Piazzetta, right in the very heart of the island of Capri!
The things that matter
Hotel Stella Maris is the ideal choice for both a cheap, one night island hop-over or for a weeklong vacation on Capri, that isn't going to break the bank.
Rooms are spotlessly clean, simply furnished, and equipped with all the basic necessities for a comfortable stay, such as air conditioning, mini bar and television.
A number of rooms have the added bonus of their own tiny terrace overlooking the Bay of Naples
1 star, four seasons
Stella Maris is one of very few hotels on the island of Capri to be open all year round, making it a great place to stay for a weekend break, a leisurely seaside holiday, or during a business trip, whatever the season.
Stella Maris
What travellers said about this hotel
Great family & awesome location! I'd recommend it to anyone!!
Shannon B. and 6 others agree with this
The hotel is strategically located: directly opposite the bus station and just steps away from the famous Piazzetta. It couldn't be more central.
Luigi T. and 8 others agree with this
The family who runs the hotel is really kind and friendly. Service is so good, you'd never think you were in a one star hotel.
Elena M. and 7 others agree with this
Breakfast is delicious and you can have as much Italian coffee, fresh milk, cakes, biscuits and jam as you want!
Giovanni B. and 6 others agree with this
Not only is this hotel surprisingly affordable, it's also run with great care by the owners, who instinctively know how to make guests feel at home.
Maria Luce F. and 7 others agree with this
A welcoming hotel offering good value for money. Shame about the street noise - which was especially annoying in the early hours. On the whole, we enjoyed our stay and location is great.
Giovanni v. and 5 others agree with this
The rooms might not be large, but they are clean, comfortable and equipped with all the mod cons. And a fabulous view of the sea.
Walter V. and 7 others agree with this

© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- Barry L. Brown, co-author of a new guide to Civil War sites in Georgia, will be at the Albany Welcome Center at 112 N. Front St. to sign copies of his book from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday.
The event is free and open to the public.
Based on a comprehensive survey of sites identified by the Georgia Civil War Commission, "Crossroads of Conflict" covers 350 historic sites in detail, bringing the experience of the war to life.
Written by Georgia Civil War Commission staff members Barry L. Brown and Gordon R. Elwell and published by the University of Georgia Press in association with the Georgia Department of Economic Development and the Georgia Humanities Council, the book is arranged geographically, separating the state into nine distinct regions.
For each site, the guide provides a detailed history, driving directions, online resources and GPS coordinates. The war experiences of all Georgians, not just soldiers, are addressed within the guide's text, and both color photographs and period images document locations such as battlefields, POW camps, hospitals, houses, buildings, bridges, cemeteries and monuments.
The guide is part of Georgia's commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, which began in 1861 and will be marked by many activities throughout 2011.

More than 200 shelter kittens need temporary or permanent homes, and San Jose Animal Advocates launched a "Save a Kitten 2012" program Friday in an effort to place the bitty felines in foster homes.
Kittens flood into shelters this time of year, overwhelming limited resources, said group founder Melissa Lisbon. San Jose Animal Advocates is partnering with Humane Society Silicon Valley to reach out to the community and other rescue groups and encourage fostering of young kittens.
"Kittens that are six weeks old or less are most at risk in shelters because they are too young to be adopted into permanent homes," Lisbon said. "Shelters are running out of space or can't afford to house them until they are old enough to be adopted."
Kitten foster parents provide a temporary home until the kitten is approximately 8 weeks old and old enough to be spayed or neutered and adopted out. Those interested in fostering can go to www.sjanimaladvocates.org or to www.facebook.com/SaveaKitten2012.
For those who can't foster or adopt, the Humane Society Silicon Valley is seeking donations of Wellness canned cat food in chicken flavor, Royal Canin baby cat or kitten dry food, small ceramic cat dishes, non-clumping kitty litter and new litter boxes.

About this Annotated Bibliography
Global Climate
The Arctic, Antarctic and Greenland
Carbon Dynamics
- Climate Variability
- Climate Models
Effects of Climate Change
This bibliography was compiled by Robert Gecy* and Michael Furniss* of the USDA Forest Service. The bibliography has been updated in December of 2009 to include nearly 1,800 citations on climate change and its effects. The papers included in this bibliography address one or more of the following questions:
- How does Earth's climate system work?
- How does climate change over time and what drives those changes?
- What are the effects, and
- What can be done to mitigate those affects or adapt to projected climate changes?
In this update, we have expanded the topic outline and added nearly 1,200 citations to the original library. Most of the papers that have been added are descriptions of carbon dynamics in the oceans, the atmosphere, or in terrestrial ecosystems. Our goal is to have 20-40 papers on each of the topics listed (as a minimum) and we have not quite reached that goal yet. We will address this in future updates to the bibliography. Some papers are included that are marginally related to climate change, and more directly related to soil science, hydrology, ecology, and so on.
Every title in this library is electronically linked. As a rule, links are to the published article home (abstract) page for journal papers and to either a publisher link or Google book link for books and book chapters. Abstracts are included for those papers that are open access. For a few papers (32 in this version) there is either no abstract to present, or the contents are not available, except by subscription. Access to article contents also requires a subscription.
This bibliography is primarily intended as a resource for natural resource professionals, but will be useful to all who wish to browse and delve into the study of climate change and its potential effects. Our goal is to provide information and to make that information as accessible as possible. The bibliography is not exhaustive, comprehensive, or fully contemporary, but rather a representative sample of available published literature. Readers are strongly encouraged to consult other reference resources.
Acknowledgements: Special thanks are due to Jennifer Harden of the U.S. Geological Survey for providing access to her library on soil carbon, and to Drew Synan for developing the scripts that facilitated hyperlinking the citation titles.

Conservation groups debate accepting donations from industryBy KEVIN BEGOS
THE Associated Press | November 24,2012PITTSBURGH As a natural gas drilling boom sweeps Pennsylvania and other states, conservation groups are debating whether it makes sense to work with the industry to minimize impacts to the environment and whether to accept industry donations.
The big question is how to deal with this overwhelming impact, said Phil Wallis, executive director of the Pennsylvania chapter of the Audubon Society, adding that the industry in general, is interested in resolving these issues.
The drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has made it possible to tap into deep reserves of oil and gas but has also raised concerns about pollution. Large volumes of water, along with sand and hazardous chemicals, are injected underground to break rock apart and free the oil and gas.
Over the past five years thousands of new wells have been drilled across Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, and hundreds of miles of pipeline have been laid to transport the gas to market. And thats just a snapshot of a similar boom in Texas, Colorado and other states.
Wallis and the Pennsylvania Audubon chapter discovered that even casual conversations with the drilling industry can generate controversy.
In August, Audubon partnered with the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group, and the Ruffed Grouse Society to hold a series of gatherings for birdwatchers, anglers, hunters and hikers to ask questions about drilling. The meetings didnt attract much notice until it emerged that some had discussed whether the industry might donate $30 million to set up an endowment to fund research on drilling impacts.
The idea of donations came up several times, said Don Williams, a Harleysville, Pa. resident.
It caught me completely off guard. I see that as somehow basically latching on and riding the coattails of the industry, Williams said. The message itself bothered me.
After Williams wrote a blog post about the meeting, Audubon quickly responded that there had been no decision to seek gas drilling donations. Wallis said the $30 million was just a hypothetical number about funding a research project on drilling that a number of conservations groups might provide staff for.
Williams said a representative of Chesapeake Energy was at the meeting, acting as more of a general industry representative. Chesapeake spokesman Rory Sweeny declined to comment on whether the company is donating to any environmental groups.
Two more public meetings with outdoor groups are scheduled for December, said Steve Forde, a spokesman for the Marcellus Shale Coalition.
The sportsmen and conservation communities are an important part of Pennsylvanias heritage and key partners in responsible shale gas development, Forde wrote in an email. But he added that the coalition hasnt discussed donations with any of the outdoor groups that helped set up the sessions.
Its a sensitive issue. Earlier this year, the Sierra Club acknowledged that from 2007 to 2010 it had secretly accepted more than $26 million from individuals or subsidies connected to Chesapeake. After deciding it would no longer take such donations, the group launched a campaign that is critical of the gas drilling industry.
Environmental groups and some scientists say there hasnt been enough research on water and air pollution issues that stem from drilling. The industry and many federal and state officials say the practice is safe when done properly, and that many rules on air pollution and disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking are being strengthened.
Sitting down with people in the gas drilling industry makes sense, said Mark Brownstein, the chief counsel for the energy program at the Environmental Defense Fund.
If environmental groups who are both passionate and knowledgeable fail to engage the natural gas industry, who will? Brownstein asked. If we simply sit and protest, were missing an opportunity to create stronger regulations.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON The risk of losing your job is getting smaller and smaller.

It's back to the Hyatt Regency Buffalo for Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's big fundraiser on Nov. 19.
Cuomo supporters had originally slated an event aiming to raise several hundred thousand dollars for Cuomo 2014 on Nov. 6 at the Hyatt. But that event was suddenly switched to Templeton Landing, a move skeptical leaders of the Independent Oil and Gas Association say stemmed from their meeting slated for the same night on the same Hyatt floor.
"It may or may not be a coincidence; maybe he was not comfortable with us right across the hall," said Brad Gill, IOGA's executive directo, in early November. "I certainly find it ironic."
But in another twist of irony, sources close to Cuomo say the event rescheduled for Nov. 19 is now back at the Hyatt -- presumably with no pro-fracking groups right across the hall.

Phoenix Sports Editor
Austin Ford, a fourth-year starter for the Fort Gibson Tigers soccer program, signed a national letter of intent on Friday to play at Oral Roberts University.
Ford, who first started as a forward his freshman year, has 20 goals and 30 assists in three seasons. He caught the eye of ORU coach Steve Hayes while playing for his Tulsa United club team.
"He'd seen me off and on and then flew out to an Alabama showcase I was in and at that point said he wanted me to come to ORU," said Ford, who up to then was being pursued by Oklahoma City University.
Todd Friend, his coach at Fort Gibson, called Ford "a very skillful player who will fit in well at ORU."
"He's always been a kid who has been committed to soccer and works hard at it," he said. "Since he started (at 5), he's probably only missed five practices with club and school teams combined. Obviously what he's done at the club level speaks volumes, but to be a part of our program shows the kids coming up through the program that we do have good players and the door of opportunity to achieve big things is there here."
Ford is the first Division I signee from the area since Jacqueline Schwarz signed with Auburn out of Muskogee High in 2002.

Halo 4 - Spartan Ops Launch Trailer
Check out the Halo 4 trailer highlighting Spartan Ops, a new story-driven, episodic co-op adventure.
that sound hopping between left and right speakers several times a second is BEYOND ANNOYING.
What a pathetic pander to the growing population of female shooter-heads, and how sad they can't even see that females portrayed in this way, referring to the game and some of the hideous screenshots in articles for this game which are, hmmm, about 3 or 4 articles after this one, seem to sport. Guys, you're pigs.
Is it just me, or was the sound coming from all over the place? The narrator's voice was jumping between my left and right speaker like someone was running around him with a directional mic.
This trailer was ok but the real trailer that they meant to post was better. This is just a trailer for Waypoint.
So excited for Halo 4. Nice little pump up trailer for shooting with friends.
I sense a 10.0 score coming. Sad to say that I can only get the Limited Ed halo 4 console a day after the release date
Fantastic blog about this and thanks a lot for share so nice information........
Though this isn't a "spartan ops" trailer, I appreciate the vast spartan customization options.. Finally, I can enjoy having my character looking completely different from everyone else in multiplayer.
~Thank you 343!!
since i read that the game will come in 2 dvd's then i said this most be serious business
1:40 transport hog coming back?!? it has no gunner
I thought this was Spartan ops, not Halo waypoint. Oh well, stil cool.
Bad game is bad.
Ok that really didn't show anything about Spartan Ops, but still, this is going to steal every minute of my free time and I look forward to it.
The password symbols are an interesting concept
I like the pose thing. This looks much more customizable.
Nothing against gamespot... but that would be the proper spartan ops trailer
i came for spartan ops not this
nothing to do with spartan ops
I get it Halo Waypoint but I though it was about showing off the Spartan Ops campaign.
The waiting is killing me, I have to have it now.
As long they don't charge for new missions every week then this should be a great addition to Halo rather than an adaptation of what COD introduced in MW2. Can't wait!
This game is going to be sick. I hope one of the next games sees the humans colonizing a halo..that would be cool.
The game looks amazing and I cant wait to play it.
I think Microsoft is trying to make up for not giving us very many exclusives, and it's working lol This game is mind blowing and I haven't even played it yet.
@k2theswiss I think that was a pic from Red Vs. Blue episode.
But maybe it will return.
@k2theswiss You're right! That would be cool, since it was so rare in Reach I would really like to see it more.
@GONtheSKYLORD Mad kid is mad.
@radcrab123 check link above :D
@JustinFroese94 I'm not going to call it good till I play it, but its looking VERY promising. I just REALLY hope the story is as good as they are saying its going to be.
@Szeiden @GONtheSKYLORD Haters gonna hate. Baters gonna Master.
@vault-boy Yeah true that. The gameplay looks amazing but I hope the story will be good enough to last another three games.
well, It is supposed to, but we will see. I certainly hope it does!

Funny you should mention this, I just ordered my copy, along with Toy Story 3 (I know weird combination but it works I hope). Figured it would be better enjoyed after I finished finals so I sent it to the Parent's place. Can't wait.As a final note Amazon.ca lists Ariane Sherine as the author, yet Amazon.com still says Stephanie Mayer. What the heck? Glad Canada makes sure credit is given where it is due.
Funny how you have a writing contest that coincides with the beginning of NaNoWriMo!!! I started writing a song while giving my midterm, but had to switch gears to research. Gah! I'll just have to buy a copy!

The Morris School District welcomed a new Morris Plains Borough representative to the Board of Education Monday night.
Lucia Galdi replaces Alan Albin, who had been the previous Morris Plains resident representing the borough for the Morris School District, which hosts Morris Plains students at Morristown High School.
Born in Morristown, Galdi moved to Morris Plains when she was seven, "and I have been there ever since," said the mother of two boys in the school system, a seventh-grader at Morris Plains Borough School and a freshman at the high school. She, too, was a graduate of Morristown High School.
A human resources manager at Honeywell, Galdi said she is excited to get more involved in the inner workings of the district.
"I'm really happy to be a part of this," she said.
Correction: A previous version had Lucia Galdi's son as attending Frelinghuysen Middle School, when he actually attends Morris Plains Borough School.

For all the hollering Rick Jeanneret does during each Sabres broadcast, the legendary play-by-play man is really a quiet person. The excitement stays in the booth. He neither seeks nor likes attention outside of it.
For years, he turned down offers to enter the Sabres Hall of Fame. But this year he finally accepted the team's invitation. Why?
Jeanneret wanted his 91-year-old mother, Kay, to enjoy the honor with him.
"I had a lot of encouragement from my mom," Jeanneret said Tuesday prior to his induction with Dale Hawerchuk before the Sabres' 6-5 overtime win against the Winnipeg Jets. "It just seemed to be the right time. She's here tonight. I'll tell you, you couldn't have kept her away tonight."
As her son received a moving ovation from the capacity crowd of 18,690 fans inside the First Niagara Center, a smiling Mrs. Jeanneret watched above from a suite with family members. Each of them sported a No. 40 Jeanneret Sabres jersey — the number of years he's called games — with "PP" on the front for "play-by-play."
When Kay Jeanneret met Sabres owner Terry Pegula and president Ted Black before the game, it put her in "seventh heaven," her son said.
"She's absolutely having the time of her life up there, and I'm glad that I made the decision to do it now," Jeanneret said.
Tuesday likely won't be Jeanneret's last Hall of Fame honor. Given his iconic status in Buffalo and around the NHL — turn on the TV in Canada and you might just hear his signature "May Day" call from 1993 or another classic — he should someday be inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
"I've been asked whether the NHL Hall of Fame might come along in the future," Jeanneret said. "I don't know whether or not (it'll happen). This is No. 1. The Buffalo Sabres Hall of Fame will always be No. 1."
Hawerchuk, who was enshrined in Toronto in 2001, wore No. 10 during nine prolific seasons in Winnipeg and another five here. His Jets and Sabres jerseys are still a popular choice with fans.
He chose to be inducted Tuesday because the Sabres faced the Jets, who traded him to Buffalo in 1990 for defenseman Phil Housley (the new incarnation of the Jets moved from Atlanta this year).
"I think everybody in Canada and around the National Hockey League are excited to see the Winnipeg Jets back," Hawerchuk said. "This is a special night. I stand out there and they're the two teams I spent the most time with. Those two are definitely closest to my heart."
So is Jeanneret.
"If I hear that voice, I try to find a TV because I know it's going to be a hell of a highlight," Hawerchuk said.
With seasons of 89, 98, 96 and 86 points, Hawerchuk's quietly one of the top scorers in Sabres history. His 80 assists in 1992-93 ranks second all-time.
Still, Hawerchuk was overshadowed. Pat LaFontaine had 95 assists and 148 points that season. Alexander Mogilny scored 76 goals.
"We had a lot of guys who could score goals here," Hawerchuk said. "I felt my niche was always what I can bring to the table that's going to be best for this hockey team. When Mogilny and LaFontaine want the puck, you get it to them. That was going to best for the Buffalo Sabres."
The high-flying 1992-93 team was possibly Hawerchuk's best chance at the Stanley Cup. The Sabres stunned Boston with a four-game sweep. Jeanneret's Brad May call in overtime ended the memorable series.
Then they fell to Montreal during the Adams Division final, dropping all four games by a goal. LaFontaine and Mogilny never finished the series.
"The buzz in the Aud just never seemed to end," Hawerchuk said. "When a power play came about, the buzz went to another level. We had guys that really wanted to score goals, that loved the game and had passion for the game. It was unfortunate we didn't stay healthy."
Today, Hawerchuk's in his second season coaching the Ontario Hockey League's Barrie Colts.
"As a player you practice hard and prepare and then you go rest and get ready for the game," Hawerchuk said. "When you're resting, coaches are usually looking at game film and trying to put together that little tweak to put the team over the top. It seems I'm doing that all day long, and my wife can attest to that."

Memorial to a citizen-soldier dedicated in South Boston (2)
- Last Updated on 07:42 AM 04/17/13
- BY Doug Ford
The Town of South Boston honored the memory of late Mayor Carroll Thackston at a ceremony Monday dedicating a new flagpole structure at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
South Boston Mayor Ed Owens and town council presented Frances Anne Thackston and her family a framed memorial honoring the former mayor and his service to the town.
Owens also unveiled a special plaque at the base of the flagpole structure memorializing Thackston.
The resolution detailed the strides the town has made while Thackston served as mayor, including establishment of the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center and Innovation Center; The Prizery; the Crossing of the Dan Exhibit and riverfront park; the Washington-Coleman Early Learning and Community Centers; and a number of affordable housing projects for low and moderate income families.
The resolution also noted Thackston's "unique leadership ability…clearly evident in his service as the Adjutant General of the Virginia National Guard under Governor George Allen and his successful years as the human resources and personnel leader of the Daystom Furniture Company.
"It is important that current and future residents of South Boston and Halifax County remember the very special Virginian that Carroll Thackston was: graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, Class of 1955; Major General, United States Army; Mayor of South Boston; loving husband and father; and compassionate public servant who truly kept the needs of his fellow citizens close to his heart," the resolution reads.
Etched into the plaque honoring Thackston at the base of the flagpole structure is a quote from George Washington, "When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen."
Those words were appropriate in remembering Thackston, according to comments made by Owens and Councilmen Coleman Speece and Bob Hughes.
"On behalf of the Town of South Boston and town council, we hope you accept this dedication for a husband, father, grandfather and an unwavering supporter of this community," Owens told Frances Anne Thackston.
"He was not the epitome of a general, of any general I ever knew because his whole dedication was to please people, the citizens of South Boston," said Speece.
"Anybody who came to a council meeting, he usually knew their name, and they were made welcome."
"There are people we meet who impress us, others we meet who absolutely impress us, but there are a few who leave their footprints on our heart," said Hughes.
"Carroll was one of those. When he was your friend, he wasn't your friend in name, he was your friend indeed."
"Carroll was in my life since I was 16," said Frances Anne Thackston, who expressed her gratitude and that of her family to the town.
"He really was my best friend, and we were very blessed to have such fun and happiness and good times.
"You all were so respectful when we came out of the church, all of you standing there, and it touched me so to know you all truly had such respect for him.
"We miss him terribly, but life goes on. We just take it day by day, but I must thank all of you.
"We're very humbled by it."
Halifax County Board of Supervisors, South Boston Town Council and Halifax Town Council also remembered Thackston by presenting a joint resolution in his honor to the late mayor's family Monday night.

Dominic Ludlam writes, "Promise.TV has launched the world's first Promiscuous TV recorder! Working on the UK's Freeview platform, it records every programme on every TV and radio channel and stores them for a whole week. And for all Boing Boing readers who visit the site, we have a daily draw running this week to get a new Promise recorder half price!"
This was originally commissioned as an internal BBC project, and the Ludlams and their partners have been productizing it ever since. It really does what it says on the tin: records the whole Freeview multiplex for a week at a time, which means that you don't have to program your PVR with the shows you like: you always have the last week's TV on tap (this'd be especially cool for when scandalous material is broadcast from Parliament -- if you find out about it after the fact you can go back and check). The Promise.tv folks have worked out several ingenious ways of navigating all this stored material as well.
I've written about this before, and I'm awfully glad to see it finally come to market.
The Promise Home is a recorder that connects four additional televisions in other rooms around the home. All connected TVs can play any of the stored or saved programmes independently, and in they can also share bookmarks. This lets you start watching a programme in one room, set a bookmark and carry on watching from the same point in another room.

Takashi Omoto says:
You forgot to mention that the Promise Seven comes in a "polished hard wood enclosure with a black acrylic top" and looks terribly like something out of a Look Around You episode.
Paul Bamford says:
bit pricy. Id sooner spend my pennies on a fast broadband connection and a VPN
toby1kenobi says:
Wow, the price of this seems crazy?! Although recording every single thing broadcast is an achievement, I think they're overestimating the actual value of that ability.
Noctilucent Studios says:
Agreed…isin't most of what's on tv purely a waste of time? Surely everything worth watching is already online someplace.
chgoliz says:
It seems like the hardware equivalent to the software of cable/satellite TV in general (paying for hundreds of channels but watching only a half-dozen at most).
Daneel says:
What's free-to-air in the UK and worth watching that isn't already covered by iPlayer and 4OD?
Two grand sounds like an awful lot to record a week's worth of QVC, Price Drop TV and repeats of Top Gear on Dave.
Snark aside, what is there? I guess doing it this way saves on broadband usage at least.
Wreckrob8 says:
Productize? Commodify?
GyroMagician says:
We have a similar service from zattoo.com, served over the interwebs (no expensive box to buy). It's pretty cool – we get German, French, Swiss and British TV, and it will record all of those for a month. It is, AFAIK, a legit service, but it's so useful I'm amazed nobody has shut them down yet. Oh, and it's dead cheap (I think we pay <7CHF/month to get HD).
brainflakes says:
"Promise Pro is an enhanced version of the promise recorder. It has extra features aimed at the professional viewer for use in the home."
How does one be a "professional viewer"? Sit there and be paid to watch television? How do I sign up??
retepslluerb says:
There's probably a professional market for this device, but as a consumer, this is about as attractive to me as a filter that collects all the feces in a building for later inspection.
Yes, it might catch a golden wedding ring once in a while.
wileyman says:
This product is currently expensive to the average consumer. However, from what i've seen this is currently geared towards professional users and provides great value as it includes many more features than simply just recording 24/7 which is cool anyway. I assume that as soon as it is mass produced the price will be much more appealing to the average consumer.
On top of this, cool high tech products are still being made in England!
jedsa says:
Brainflakes, professional viewer probably means TV critics and media pundits. There is a company that records all TV news and allows people to search for things by transcript, time, channel, etc., it's what news channels use to find clips, but it's also professionally priced even more than this device.
Stooge says:
The bigger professional market is ad agencies and PR outfits. These gizmos should be virtually indispensable for both.
PJDK says:
I used to work at one such place (watching TV professionally is not all it's cracked up to be). We had banks of Sky+ boxes in the basement, something like this would be a major step up.
Although we had PR and Ad Agencies as clients a lot of them were just ordinary (all be it large) companies who want to know when they or their product is mentioned on the TV.
jimbuck says:
And staff of the E! network's "The Soup" rejoiced.
Jellodyne says:
The local cable company stands to make a ton of cash if they were to run an industrial version of a device like this in their back end. They give people on-demand access to it (including the ability to 'save' programs — which is mark them not to be purged post whatever the buffer length is). They can charge a DVR like service fee, without actually providing a DVR — a standard hard-drive-free set top box would suffice as long as it can stream from the back end, and they would be proving a better-than-DVR service.
Stefan Jones says:
Um . . . I work in the video server biz. One of the available features is stream capture, for "DVR" like services. But the copyright rules impose all sorts of weird restrictions. Last I heard, cable companies specifically CAN NOT record everything once and then make it available to everybody; they would have to record everything for each interested subscriber.
There are work-arounds, like a certain big player's feature which allows a customer to start watching a shared recording any time while the original broadcast is still playing. (So, you could start watching Survivor at 8:59 PM and watch the full hour, but a minute later and you'd be out of luck . . .)
troutandtoolbox says:
The price tag is utterly ridiculous. £2000 for a freeview box full of daytime television? To much money in anyones language. Also, not a mention of HD? For that amount of cash it should be able to do all your housework and tuck you in at night.
MrEricSir says:
Does it come with a feature where I can jack it directly into my brain and watch a week's worth of TV in minutes? Or is it too dangerous to let someone's IQ drop that fast?
Daemonworks says:
Now all they need to do is make more than one or two shows I want to see!
juepucta says:
Make it a smaller box, customize how many hrs/days by adding external drives, (make it work outside US) – lower the prize
phuzz says:
(it doesn't work in the US, only the UK)
juepucta says:
Oh, i missed "freeview". In any case i was thinking of the system, making it expandable and open.
Mikko Varis says:
How much energy and materials are needed to manufacture a billion of these units and run them continuously. What a waste of resources and only to ensure, that bullshit called entertainment is distrbuted by the rules, which ensure the optimum profit margin for the companies producing that hazardous waste. If societal comatose has to be ensured, streaming services leave smaller enviromental footprint for increasing level of idiocy needed to produce ideal citizen.
pjcamp says:
So you can record five times as much programming as it would be possible to watch in an entire week with no sleep?
I'm not sure I get it. Is there a banana involved?

The Canadian Hospital Reporting Project (CHRP) is a national quality improvement initiative from CIHI. This interactive tool gives hospital decision-makers, policy-makers and Canadians access to results for more than 600 facilities from every province and territory in Canada.
A total of 27 indicators—21 clinical and 6 financial—were chosen for CHRP based on their relevance to performance measurement and quality improvement. The selected indicators measure
These indicators were chosen after reviewing existing hospital performance indicators and collaborating with experts in the field. The goal of CHRP is to foster quality improvement, learning and action.
For technical and interpretive documents, please visit CHRP Key Resources and Toolkit.
The Hospital Results provide reports and graphs that contain facility-level results for each indicator over multiple years. Using the interactive tool, users can compare peers at the regional, provincial/territorial and national levels and examine performance across years.
Contextual information, such as community profiles and hospital-level characteristics, is available to help users interpret the results and identify peer hospitals. The interactive nature of the tool means that users can focus on the information that is most relevant to them.
The tool also has interactive maps to help users visualize, interpret and compare the information provided. Maps show a snapshot of performance across the country and can be a starting point for further investigation. They are also useful for those who are specifically interested in identifying performance trends related to population density or geography.
Key Findings
The Key Findings (see below) highlight notable trends and interesting results for selected indicators. These analyses highlight some of the differences seen across hospitals, peer groups and jurisdictions as well as over time. For this first release, the key findings focus on four indicators:
The Key Findings reports help users learn and share best practices. They assign Performance Allocation to hospitals for seven of the indicators in the Clinical Effectiveness domain. Performance Allocation is intended to help hospitals identify others they can learn from. It helps identify areas where improvement is needed, increase collaboration and track the success of improvement initiatives.

As Arnold pushes for hydrogen highways, Ron Bailey notes a National Academy of Sciences report that brings a reality check to this aspect of the alternative fuels debate:
The hydrogen economy is not about to replace conventional sources of energy anytime soon. "There will likely be a lengthy transition period during which fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen are not competitive with internal combustion engine vehicles, including conventional gasoline and diesel fuel vehicles, and hybrid gasoline electric vehicles," the report's executive summary announces. Thus, "impacts on oil imports and CO2 emissions [from hydrogen] are likely to be minor during the next 25 years."
The report reckons that Department of Energy (DOE) milestones for fuel cell vehicles are "unrealistically aggressive." But it does optimistically estimate that 25 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. might be hydrogen-powered by 2027, and further posits (that is, assumes) that full replacement of gasoline light-duty vehicles with hydrogen vehicles might take place by 2050. Before all this can happen, towering technical hurdles must be jumped, with no currently obvious solutions. After 40 years of federal and private R&D, fuel cell technology still has problems: "costs are still a factor of 10 to 20 times too expensive," and the cells are "short of required durability, and [their] energy efficiency is still too low for light-duty-vehicle applications."
I'm as big a techno-optimist as you're apt to find, but hydrogen doesn't seem to have much of an immediate future as a replacement for our current energy system. Besides, why use electricity to make hydrogen to make more electricity? Why not just use electricity for what you need and instead do a lot of research on improving battery technologies?
