The New York Police Department's stop-and-frisk practices, ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge who was subsequently removed from the case, have led to convictions just 3 percent of the time, the state attorney general's office found.
New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman released a report Thursday showing that 75,000 guilty pleas or conviction at trial resulted from about 2.4 million stops from 2009 to 2012. The tactic has been assailed by civil rights groups, who say it unfairly targets racial minorities.
"It's our hope that this report - the first of its kind - will advance the discussion about how to fight crime without overburdening our institutions or violating equal justice under the law," Schneiderman said in a statement. The attorney general hasn't stated a position on the tactic.
The report used police and court data to examine offenses charged at the time of arrests, whether charges were reduced by the time of convictions, and racial disparities, according to Schneiderman's office.
Only 0.3 percent of all stops, or about 7,200, led to defendants' serving jail or prison sentences for more than 30 days, according to the report. Just 0.1 percent of stops, or about 2,400, led to convictions for violent crimes, it said.
A police spokesman said the report ignores crimes prevented by the practice.
"The report is clearly flawed, which is why it makes absolutely zero recommendations," John J. McCarthy, a spokesman for the department, said in an emailed statement. "This analysis somehow just ignores situations where an officer's action deters or prevents a crime from occurring in the first place. Those situations never result in an arrest, conviction or jail time because a crime is prevented."
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled Wednesday that U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin can't challenge her removal from the suit over the stop-and-frisk tactic, which she found unconstitutional.
The court said Scheindlin ran "afoul of the Code of Conduct for United States judges" by making remarks to the press while the case was pending and suggesting that lawyers opposing the tactic use a court rule to steer a case to her. The appeals court said it made no findings of misconduct or bias on her part.
New York City appealed her ruling and won a stay from the appeals court delaying changes she ordered during the appeal.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg criticized Scheindlin's ruling and backed the city's appeal. Bloomberg is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News.
Bill de Blasio, the Democrat elected Nov. 5 to replace Bloomberg as mayor, opposed stop-and-frisk in his campaign and said he will withdraw the city's appeal.
In a separate report released Thursday, the New York Civil Liberties Union said it found a rise in discriminatory policing during the Bloomberg administration.
A survey of 5,000 city residents showed people who had negative contacts with police, such as being stopped and frisked, were less likely than others to turn to the police when in need of help or when witnessing a crime.
"People of color have borne an outsize burden of this injustice, but it impacts every New Yorker and the safety of the city as a whole when entire communities are afraid of the very police force that is supposed to protect them," Donna Lieberman, executive director of the organization, said in a statement.

Gold Coast (Connecticut)
The Gold Coast, also known as Southwestern Connecticut or Lower Fairfield County, is a region of the state of Connecticut, United States, that includes the entire southern portion of Fairfield County as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, Super-Public Use Microdata Area (Super-PUMA) Region 09600.[1][2]
This area is often portrayed in culture as a bastion of wealth. Some of the novels and films that have taken place here include; The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, The Stepford Wives, The Ice Storm, The Swimmer, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House and Gentleman's Agreement.
The distinction of being called the wealthiest town in Connecticut can be attributed to either Darien, Greenwich or New Canaan, depending on the statistic used. According to the 2000 US Census, New Canaan was first in per capita income ($82,049), Darien second ($77,519) and Greenwich third ($74,346). However, per capita income does not take into account personal assets; homes, jewelry, art, boats or automobiles.
In 2000, New Canaan had a higher percentage of resident homeowners (83%) than Greenwich (69%), which may indicate more wealth. According to some sources, the wealthiest town along the Gold Coast should be New Canaan because of their higher rate of home ownership suggesting a higher level of personal assets.[3] More recently, another source named Darien the state's richest town in 2011.[4]
An additional consideration is to measure wealth per person - not aggregate town wealth. Both the Adjusted Equalized Net Grand List per Capita (AENGLC) Wealth Value and the CPR AENGLC Wealth Value, show that Greenwich has the highest wealth value in Connecticut at over $430,000 per person. The AENGLC is based on the value of residential and commercial real estate, and measures the town's tax base available to pay for public education (see Conn. Dep of Ed). It is not a measure of the personal wealth of individual residents.[5]

Next: Iteration, Previous: Conditionals, Up: Control Structure
Common Lisp blocks provide a non-local exit mechanism very
similar to catch
and throw
, with lexical scoping.
This package actually implements cl-block
in terms of catch
; however, the lexical scoping allows the
byte-compiler to omit the costly catch
step if the
body of the block does not actually cl-return-from
the block.
The forms are evaluated as if by a
. However, if any of the forms execute(cl-return-from
, they will jump out and return directly from thecl-block
form. Thecl-block
returns the result of the last form unless acl-return-from
mechanism is quite similar to thecatch
mechanism. The main differences are that block names are unevaluated symbols, rather than forms (such as quoted symbols) that evaluate to a tag at run-time; and also that blocks are always lexically scoped. In a dynamically scopedcatch
, functions called from thecatch
body can alsothrow
to thecatch
. This is not an option forcl-block
, where thecl-return-from
referring to a block name must appear physically within the forms that make up the body of the block. They may not appear within other called functions, although they may appear within macro expansions orlambda
s in the body. Block names andcatch
names form independent name-spaces.In true Common Lisp,
surround the function or expander bodies with implicit blocks with the same name as the function or macro. This does not occur in Emacs Lisp, but this package providescl-defun
forms, which do create the implicit block.The Common Lisp looping constructs defined by this package, such as
, also create implicit blocks just as in Common Lisp.Because they are implemented in terms of Emacs Lisp's
, blocks have the same overhead as actualcatch
constructs (roughly two function calls). However, the byte compiler will optimize away thecatch
if the block does not in fact contain anycl-return
calls that jump to it. This means thatcl-do
loops andcl-defun
functions that don't usecl-return
don't pay the overhead to support it.

As the market digests its recent gains MoneyShow's Tom Aspray is looking at stocks in the homebuilders sector, which is now in a seasonally strong period.
The stock market held up pretty well Monday as the S&P 500 is bumping into the 50% Fibonacci retracement resistance in the 1408 area. The McClellan oscillator, a short-term A/D indicator, has risen from a low of -285 on November 15 to a high last Friday at +140. It has now turned lower and a further pullback is likely.
A market correction over the next week or so is expected to be a buying opportunity and, of course, the challenge is to find the sectors and stocks that are likely to be leading the next market rally.
The volume surge in the homebuilding stocks in October 2011 suggested a low could be forming and the fundamental data has been very positive for most of the year. This chart of the homebuilder index, from early in the year, shows that the index typically bottoms in the October-November period and then peaks in April -May.
In the next week or so the leading homebuilders ETF, as well as three top homebuilders should drop back into their initial support zones where new buying could be done.
Chart Analysis: The SPDR S&P Homebuilders (XHB) has had a great year as it is up over 54% versus just a 14% gain in the Spyder Trust (SPY). Many may be surprised that only 26% of the ETF is invested in homebuilders with building products stocks making up over 29%.
PulteGroup Inc. (PHM) dropped back to test its uptrend (line f) on November 15 as it had a low of $14.55. PHM has since rallied back to initial resistance in the $17 area.

MADISON -- Sissonville was looking to remain unbeaten, but to do so needed to get past a Scott team that's had the Indians' number in recent years.
The Indians got a huge win for their program Friday night, but had to survive to capture a thrilling 22-20 road victory when the Skyhawks failed on a tying 2-point conversion attempt with 2:01 left in the game.
With the victory, No. 2 Sissonville (4-0) is off to its best start since 2006. Scott (1-3) beat the Indians in the playoffs in 2006 and 2007 and in the regular season the past three years as well.
"It was a great football game," said Sissonville coach Eddie Smolder. "Our kids have worked hard to get to this point. Scott has beat us the last few years. Our goal was to come in here and get a 'W,' whether it was 15 points or two. A win is a win."
Smolder, in his third year coaching the Indians, has been rebuilding the program since his arrival, increasing the team's wins every year. He was a little emotional after the victory.
"We are 4-0, and I'm happy about that," Smolder said. "It's a huge win for us, on the road against a great program in Scott. Our kids really wanted it. I feel like they weren't going to come out of here without a win. I'm blessed to be their football coach.''
Clinging to a 22-20 lead with 2:01 remaining in the game and Scott needing the 2-point conversion to tie, Skyhawks running back Cameron Loftus received the handoff from quarterback Cody Brown and ran toward the right sideline.
Linebacker Nathan Miller rushed in from his position, applying pressure to Loftus, who attempted a pass, but the Indians senior knocked it down for the critical stop. Scott attempted an onside kick but failed, and Sissonville ran out the clock.
"I have full trust in [defensive coordinator Henry] Lanham to call the right play and our defense has worked hard all year," Smolder said. "They made a play when they had to. It looked like a halfback pass and Nathan Miller made a great play, got pressure and knocked it down."
Scott coach Shane Griffith indicated there was confusion on the 2-point conversion to try and tie.
"We were talking about a couple different things," Griffith said. "I don't know if we communicated clearly what we were looking for. It just didn't play out."

Births & Deaths
Births and deaths in Italy must be registered within seven days at the registry office (Ufficio di Stato Civile) of the town (comune) where they take place. Registration applies to everyone irrespective of their nationality and whether they're residents or visitors. In the case of hospital births, registration is done by the hospital or clinic where a child is born. If you give birth at home, you must complete the registration yourself. An Italian birth certificate (certificato di nascita) is issued automatically.
In the event of a death, all interested parties must be notified. If a death takes place in a hospital, the attending doctor completes a certificate stating the cause of death (constatazione della morte); you should make several copies of this, as they're required by banks and other institutions. If a death occurs at home, you should call your family doctor or the local guardia medica. If there are suspicious circumstances, you should call the polizia mortuaria by ringing 113 and they will arrange for a post mortem examination (autopsy). As with births, deaths must be registered in the town where the death occurred, although the undertakers (see below) usually do this for you
When a death occurs, it's important to find a reliable undertaker as soon as possible, particularly as they handle most of the documentation. Funerals in Italy are among the most expensive in Europe, frequently costing around €2,600, and it's important to obtain personal recommendations and check that an undertaker abides by the Italian Code of Conduct for Undertakers (codice italiano di comportamento per le imprese funebri). You're recommended to ignore recommendations given by hospital staff (who may be getting a commission) or people hanging around hospital mortuaries offering their services.
Bodies can be buried in three ways in Italy – in a family tomb, in an individual tomb (loculo) or in a communal burial ground (campo comune) – and they can also be cremated. Plots for family tombs are expensive (between €2,600 and €5,200), whereas loculi, which are layered blocks of marble tombs, can be bought for between €500 and €1,000 (usually for an initial period of around 30 years, after which the 'lease' is renewable). Interment in a communal burial ground is free but considered demeaning by many Italians, as the remains can be exhumed after just ten years (there's an acute shortage of cemeteries in Italy). Embalming isn't usually available.
Cremation is becoming increasingly popular, not least because it's paid for by the local municipality, although crematoria are few and far between. If the deceased hasn't requested cremation, a family member must make a formal request via a notary to the registry office. Families usually either keep the ashes in the family tomb or loculo, lease a special urn from the comune or dispose of the ashes in the local campo comune, which is free of charge. Note that it's illegal to keep ashes at home or dispose of them in any other way.
The body or ashes of a deceased person may be sent to another country. You need to provide the funeral agent with the documents relating to the death and the identity of the deceased, so that he can obtain the necessary permits. It generally takes from four to seven days to arrange shipment. When a death occurs at home, the body is prepared for shipment or burial in the home, as Italian law forbids undertakers to store them.

No multi player? I have tried to connect to a game for 2 days and have had no success what so ever. Great game but I will uninstall if this connection issue continues
Need some fixes Ok... First, i would like to thank you for the support. The sound is now working as it should be, however some textures still doesn't have the correct aspect ratio.
Great port Takes a bit getting used to the controls but very fun after you learn the intricacies. Quite a few weapons from the originals as well as some new ones. However, it seems the latest update has made the game jittery, to the point where it affects ability to target and move the worms. Using this on an HTC One
Just as I remember... Worth the mere 99 cents. ^_^ Well polished, and playable product. Any apprehension you might have had about compatability issues should be gone. Now working fine on my Nexus 7 and S4. FRAG ON!
What no p2p? Thank you. For making both a great port and not succumbing to the sleaze that is. You are great human beings (or robots, if you're robots)
Fantastic but could do more. The game brings back fun memories and loves using sheep to destroy my enemies. I think there should of been a guide at the beginning of the campaign also proper online anywhere multiplayer is needed. Thank you for the nostalgia value

Please rest assured that our dedicated support team is currently looking into this problem and hopes to issue a resolution promptly.
In the meantime, please accept our sincere apology.
Kind Regards,
Team17 Great port Takes a bit getting used to the controls but very fun after you learn the intricacies. Quite a few weapons from the originals as well as some new ones. However, it seems the latest update has made the game jittery, to the point where it affects ability to target and move the worms. Using this on an HTC One

Team17 Bad Sound I loved this game back in the old days, team 17 are like a fine wine, old but full of flavour. This feels just like the pc version and it runs great on my phone without any lag or freezing. The only issue im having is with the sound performance its like listening to a badly ripped mp3 on a record player with a dirty needle. If this gets fixed then 5 stars will come your way guys. Sorry my phones model is an LG-E4 10i on Android 4.1.2

Team17 What the Reviews say... It's a great game that respects the classic series perfectly. I grew up with these games and it's nice to see that the weapons, worms and humour is still there. But is anyone sure why they are fighting? Add some more weapons (Maybe a water one) and those hilarous cutscenes (Think back to Worms:Forts Ps2) and this will be an amazing game.
Almost great - but quickly becomes annoying. The game plays well, could benefit from increased turn time, to counter the difficulty of touch screen controls. My biggest gripe is that the team stats don't work. Multiplayer games are a bit hit-and-miss connecting, plus identifying players by the phone serial number is confusing and odd. UPDATE: The multiplayer is getting worse; when it gets stuck 'waiting for players' before a match, the screen goes completely unresponsive, and you have to kill it in task manager.
Worth the money, but... Would give five if the AI wouldn't be overpowered enough to be able to precisely hit my worm in a cave at the edge of the map with a missile guided by the wind. AI doesn't miss a single shot, no matted where you are, and though it might seem that this way it is just more challenging, it becomes extremely annoying. Believe me. Othdr than that, GREAT game.
Too hard Its fun, but the game is way too hard, and the AI always use the bazooka, which they 99% of the time don't miss with. I'd love to change the rating if it wasn't so OP. Also, the jumping should be easier to use, I always ending jumping to my death when I try. Nevertheless, it's still a great game. I just need to save up for the PC versions.
Ignoring our questions I love worms and beat the campaign, but I am surprised to see the lack of response to certain questions we ask. Please address the issue of AI targeting being 100%. There have been instances where I hid underground and was still hit by a "miracle hit". Especially on the last level of the cheese stage.
Team 17 Digital Limited January 22, 2014
Good morning Antonio,
Our apologies, we do our best to respond to all users with queries or problems, though some do occasionally slip through the net.
The difficulty of the A.I is a common point of contention and we constantly review this. Be sure to keep your game updated. If we change the A.I difficulty, it will come as a patch.
Team17 Not bad Good fun game. However, I experience some lags in voice & sound effects. I'd see a rocket explode or a warm gets hit only to hear the sounds couple of seconds later. It is not game breaking but a bit annoying. The touch controls are pretty intuitive. But also suffers from responding latency. I'd try move a warm or try to aim and I would experience stuttering while moving or aiming.

Team17 PvP Good game brings back memories with a few new bits. Hard to get used to some of the controls but sure it will come. Having an issue atm tho, started an online match and it's just stuck on waiting for players ever since, been awhile now and still loads the same screen on start up and I'm unable to go back on quit app :/
Broken, buggy, frustrating. Remember all those awesome worms games on the computer? Take those and break the direction buttons, the jump buttons, and the ninja rope. Next throw in random button presses of things you did not tell it to do. This is a sad sad version of worms. They obviously gave up at the end when they couldn't fix the everything.

Listen Read Device Only Added Installed 4 Player Reactor (Multiplayer)
cool cherry trees
Listen Read Device Only Added Installed 4 Player Reactor is the original fast, clean and funny reaction game for two to four players on the same device.
Challenge your friends (or enemies) to a multiplayer battle of reflexes, wits and knowledge! Great as a bar game, ice breaker or to decide who has to do the dishes.
One of 28 (we continuously add more) exciting mini-games is displayed on screen, and if you think the answer is correct, hit your button faster than your opponents to get a point. But be careful - hit it at the wrong time, and you'll lose one. After a few seconds, the next multiplayer challenge starts - and you can make up for lost points or extend your lead against your adversary!
28 (and growing) mini-games with four difficulties each ranging from easy to insane -- that means over 100 mini-game combinations! A single-player training mode when you want to hone your skills for the next encounter, no advertisements whatsoever, and lots of extra settings for even more multiplayer fun!
Nobody needs to wait, two, three or four players, one device, at the same time! Frantic multiplayer action is guaranteed for all ages! Some of the included mini-games require pure reaction, so the younger you are the better, while other mini-games require knowledge of countries in the world and puzzle-solving skills. Who can be the best in all of them?
There are 28 mini-games included (more soon!), and they span all sorts of areas. For example: Who can find the sad face in a group of smiley faces? Does the shown capital city really belong to the country? Can the mouse navigate the maze to the cheese? Hit when the screen turns white! When is the changing labyrinth completed from corner to corner? Has the Countdown hit Zero? React when the Tic-Tac-Toe game is complete! And there's many more!
Sporting super-clean and slick graphics, 4 Player Reactor doesn't try to overwhelm or distract you with fancy effects or big explosions.This also means it runs on even the oldest and crankiest of Android devices! Everything in the game has been tested on all kinds of screens, and it runs beautifully on tablets!
There's a no-brainer "Quick Game" mode that allows you to jump right into the action. But if you hate math, or you only want to play that mode with the smiley faces, or you want a really really long game, you can change everything in the advanced settings menu! And if you're trying to learn a different language, we've got you covered: The game has been translated into 25 mysterious languages such as German, French, Chinese, Persian, Finnish, and many many more.
I'm an independent game developer and made the game all by myself - which explains the basic graphics (I like to think of them as clean ;)). I hope you like my game, and I totally crave your feedback, just send me an email at email@example.com.

Anomaly 2 is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Anomaly Warzone Earth. Maintaining the core elements of the original, Anomaly 2 adds new features to the single-player campaign and finally puts your skills to a test in a completely unique experience: the dynamic tower defense vs. tower offense multiplayer mode!
In the years following the invasion of Earth in 2018, the planet is overrun by alien machines. Humankind is on the verge of extinction. Banded together in huge convoys, they search the frozen tundra for food and supplies. Since the war, the roles have been reversed: now our species seems to be the Anomaly on a machine-controlled planet. Your convoy, Commander, is called Yukon.
Anomaly 2 takes the RTS tower-offense concept from Anomaly Warzone Earth to a new level. The core elements of the original are spiced up by a number of important new features:
- Morph your troops into war mechs to discover the new face of strategy: each unit has a different mech form with various abilities to help you overcome specific combat situations.
- Engage in a multiplayer experience unique to Anomaly 2: tower defense vs. tower offense. Play as the towers and destroy the humans or lead the humans to annihilate the alien towers.
- Fight across a post-apocalyptic world in a new single-player campaign that offers a more intense strategy experience than the acclaimed original.
- Carve your own path to victory and create your ultimate battle squad. With over million tactical combinations to build your squad, your options in combat are nearly endless.
- Dive into a beautifully rendered world, thanks to the team's upgraded and improved visual engine.

Ari Marcopoulos | Within Arms Reach
'Recording New York's downtown art scene in the early eighty's, shooting snowboarders and skateboarders in motion and at rest, or chronicling the vicissitudes of his own family life, Ari Marcopoulos unerringly captures the zeitgeist in this mid career survey'. Within Arms Reach is a look at the the works so far from photographer Ar Marcopoulos opening on the 23nd September 2009 at UC Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive until February 7th 2010. Occupying two large galleries in the museum, a selection of more than ninety photographs spanning the artist's career including formats from gelatin silver, chromogenic, and inkjet prints in various sizes to poster-scale black-and-white photocopies. Interspersed among the photographs in the galleries will be flat-screen monitors showing the artist's videos, and his artist's books and zines will be presented in vitrines.

Idiocy takes many forms. Unfortunately, some of them are fatal.
Take "planking," for instance. The alleged Facebook-fueled fad, which involves having a picture taken of a daredevil lying rigidly prostrate and in an unusual location, has been blamed for the death of a young Australian man.
ABC News is reporting the death of Acton Beale, 20, who died after plummeting from a high-rise balcony.
Police say he was trying to "plank" on the balcony railing and lost his balance.
"[It] really just shows that these fads that people are coming up with really can have tragic consequences if they are not careful," a police spokesman in Brisbane said.
Whatever happened to surfing? If you're going to risk your life, at least do it on a beautiful beach with bikini-clad women nearby.
Police are not thrilled with the silliness, and I can understand why. Last week, Queensland Police charged a 20-year-old after he was spotted planking on a police car roof.
I wouldn't try that in our neck of the woods.
Depending on your appetite for such things, prepare to be board/bored stiff.
One Facebook planking group has 127,000 fans, and the Australia group has announced May 25 as the inaugural annual Planking Day.
Choose your hobbies wisely people. Especially the dangerous ones.

A Microsoft Advertising executive said the company is examining new ad units for Skype, such as possibly offering a click-to-call unit.
Jahn Wolland, senior sales director, Microsoft advertising, made his remarks yesterday during the Digital Content NewFront 2012 at Microsoft Advertising's New York City office.
Afterward, a Microsoft spokeswoman emphasized that the click-to-call ads are currently not being offered in Skype. "While Microsoft is working well with Skype to maximize the value of its offerings and to take advantage of Skype's growth and reach, Microsoft is also constantly testing advertising to determine what works best for brands, and more importantly for consumers, in the Skype environment," the spokeswoman said.
In February, Microsoft Advertising said it will begin selling Skype advertising on PCs and mobile devices in international markets, including the U.K., Germany, Japan and Taiwan. Microsoft acquired Skype in October 2011 for $8.5 billion.
During the NewFront event, Microsoft Advertising executives mentioned several Microsoft platforms for advertising, from Bing search to mobile phones that run on the Microsoft Windows operating system. But the company dedicated the most of the program to promoting its Xbox Live service as a complement to TV advertising.
Microsoft's push for advertising on Xbox comes 18 months after Microsoft shuttered Massive, an in-gaming advertising network. What's different today? "That [Massive] was about placing advertising within video ads, very specifically on billboards [in the games]," said Ross Honey, general manager of Xbox Live entertainment and advertising at Microsoft. Today, the advertising options include standard 0:15 and 0:30 spots, as well as more immersive experiences such as a promotion featuring the Hyundai 2013 Veloster Turbo in the Xbox Live game, "Forza Motorsport 4."
Microsoft's program featured pep talks by Web producer Felicia Day, NBC news correspondent Kate Snow, U.S. Olympic gold medal winner Dominique Dawes, and Fox Sports NFL analyst Mike Pereira. All championed online media as a complement to TV programming.
Another speaker, Lloyd Braun, founder of media company BermanBraun, said TV networks and pundits must reduce their obsession with live ratings. Audience-viewing habits, he said, have changed because of time-shifting and adoption of new devices like tablets. "We're watching these shows in completely different places at different times," he said during the program. And as a result, media business models haven't kept pace with audience habits.
Microsoft also announced that it will feature content on the Xbox from new partners such as ESPN, CBS Interactive, and Last.fm. It already offers content from Netflix and Hulu for Xbox Live gold members, as well as other media partners.
One attendee, Laura Deitch, interactive director of digital at direct marketing agency ConvergeDirect, said she was impressed by Microsoft Advertising's offerings. "Its ability to strategically target consumers with content over multiple devices was eye opening," she said in an email interview after the event.

Customer reviews
Explosions everywhere
Asrafil | March 5, 2014 | See all Asrafil's reviews »Renegade Ops, is a fantastic experience alone and in coop. The game features a very intuitive targeting system that makes it great to play with a controller.
The pace of the game is perfect, never so intense to tire you and never too slow to bore you.
Technically the game is flawless. The graphics look great and all the effects show great care from the developers. The soundtrack isn't memorable but it gets the job done.
Overall the game is great, while it doesn't revolutionise the genre is so solid that you won't care.
Extremely fun vehicular action co-op
commanderhavoc | Nov. 14, 2013 | See all commanderhavoc's reviews »From the creators of the still extremely fun to play Just Cause 2, we get an outstanding tribute to the old days of over the top action games in the form of Renegade Ops. A madman known only as Inferno is threatening to several of the world's major cities if his demands aren't met and its up to a rogue general to gather up a small band of renegades to fight Inferno and stop him dead in his tracks before more civilians are killed. Each of the Renegades have their own unique set of special abilities and weapons that can provide an edge in the battles, the PC version of the game comes with the Half Life games' protagonist Gordon Freeman as an exclusive, he is actually driving the buggy from Half Life 2 and has the special ability to summon Antlions that attack Inferno's unlucky forces. There's also a slight RPG system involved where you can spend points on certain abilities, like faster weapon cooldown, having a special weapon already at the start of a mission and so on, however you can't equip all of them at once and thus you must plan accordingly as to what you might use. The game is best played with a Xbox-360 Gamepad and also with friends, either one friend in a split screen local co-op or online co-op with up to three friends joining you in the battle against Inferno.
iamkyo90 | Aug. 8, 2013 | See all iamkyo90's reviews »It is very well done. It has many missions, the cooperative does super fun. Vehicles are not many, but they have a lot of customization. The graphics are fine. It's like those games where Mame classic 2d were driving vehicles or soldiers. Very similar, but adapted to the new generation of consoles.
Fantastic, fun experience
darkyhbk | July 16, 2013 | See all darkyhbk's reviews »Renegade Ops is a very fast paced, explosive vehicle shooter which will have you blow up stuff in a number of detailed, beautifully designed sceneries. You'll have a variety of characters to choose from, each with their own special abilities and skill trees. You earn XP by killing enemy vehicles and completing objectives, and you use the upgrade points to purchase new abilities, be it active or passive, to help you in the fight. You'll pick up power ups to boost your weapons, pick up special weapons and use them when the situation gets out of hand. It's a lot of fun, and it offers enough variety and replayability that you'll love it.
Renegade Ops - review
carlyle | Dec. 31, 2012 | See all carlyle's reviews »Renegade Ops has a simple structure of the game, is a classic shooter with a view from above, once you have chosen one of the four main characters, he finds himself in a sort of super jeep driving armored different for each character in appearance, but also in some features. Getting good scores during the raids will gain experience to spend to unlock upgrades of various kinds. These allow for example to make the medium more resistant to attack, to extend the reserve of secondary projectiles and so on, ensuring a minimum of customization experience. The levels have a good variety, giving visions of jungles, deserts, ruins, and so on. The maps surprising breadth, so that the developers chose to implement an arrow always ready to show you the way to the next target (primary or secondary). The game manages to entertain in an excellent way, giving some splash of variety, for example, by driving a helicopter, a stolen truck loaded with a nuclear warhead. The best way to enjoy Renegade Ops, however, is in the company of three friends, you can connect online, in local network or via split-screen, limited to two players. With four participants chaos screen will increase exponentially, as well as fun. Is felt in this sense the absence of any additional mode, but the ability to enhance and customize your favorite renegade and quests, provide a good rate of replay value to the product.

Landscapes of Glacier National Park
After shooting waterfalls on my first day in Glacier National Park, I shot the sunset at Goose Island Overlook. This is one of the most famous sunset spots in the park and although the view was excellent, I was treated to a total no-show of a sunset. A black and white treatment turned out reasonably well.
I spent a calm, cool night at a campground just outside the gates and woke up bright and early to beat the crowds to Logan Pass. Labor Day Weekend is one of the last weekends that the Going-to-the-Sun Road is open and the crowds were out in full force. I secured my parking spot and then set off quickly up the Hidden Lake Overlook trail. The boardwalk cut a jagged line through a meadow of wildflowers and wrapped around the base of Mt. Reynolds towards a ridge. At the top of the ridge, the trail cut through some stubby pine trees and ended at a stunning vista of Hidden Lake and Bearhat Mountain.
The haze visible behind the mountain is smoke from the brand new wildfire near Avalanche Lake. More on that later.
Descending from the overlook, I quickly ducked off the trail and into the Hanging Valley area. For a couple weeks at the end of the summer the park service opens up Hanging Valley to off-trail exploration. Tightly gripping my bear spray, I set off down the valley, following a rocky, slimy stream bed. I was looking for Triple Falls, a popular but hard to find slot canyon near Logan Pass. Three streams empty into the small canyon, making for an engaging foreground to go with the stellar mountain backgrounds all around. After about an hour of mucking around in stream beds and snowfields, I finally stumbled upon the falls. This late in the summer, only two of the falls were running, but it was still a blast to find and explore an area I'd seen and heard so much about. I covered Triple Falls in my Waterfalls of Glacier National Parkpost and you can check out the rest of my shots there.
I hiked out following the stream downhill and back to the Logan Pass Visitor Center. I drove west and downhill, heading for the Avalanche area. The western side of the Going-to-the-Sun Road was as magnificent and scary as the east side. The road is carved into the side of the mountains and at many places there are barely enough room for two cars to pass side-by-side. Couple this with attention-stealing views and it's a bit risky.
I arrived at the parking lot for the Trail of the Cedars and Avalanche Lake only to find that a fresh wildfire had closed the trail to Avalanche Lake. I was beginning to get a bit fed up with the crowds, totally booked campgrounds, and the wildfires and decided that I was going to head back to Bozeman that night. Fortunately, I decided to walk the Trail of the Cedars first. Trail of the Cedars is a wide, accessible path that winds for less than a mile through towering cedars (surprisingly…) and along the banks of Avalanche Creek. At the end of the path I found one of the classic views of Avalanche Gorge that I had been hoping to shoot. I scrambled out onto a rock outcropping and managed to salvage a little bit of my afternoon in the shot that heads up this post and the portrait orientation to the left.
It was a long, smoky, six hour drive back to Bozeman but well worth it. I can't wait to get back to Glacier, hopefully with some other photographers, to explore the miles of trails and countless landscapes that I missed out on. I'm pretty sure I could spend a whole summer shooting and hiking here and not get bored.

Waterfalls of Glacier National Park
I finally made it to Glacier National Park last weekend. I've been dying to go ever since I moved to Montana three years ago. It's a 6 hour drive through lots of empty farm coutnry from Bozeman, but it was completely worth it.
I pulled into the park just after 1pm on Saturday. Predictably, all the campgrounds were full so I drove around the tiny gateway town of St. Mary, MT and found Johnson's of St Mary, a large private campground on a hill overlooking the town and St Mary Lake. I staked out my campsite, dropped off some gear, and drove back into the park.
St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls
My first objective was St. Mary Falls and Virginia Falls. I only had the afternoon to hike and I was solo. Not being particularly thrilled with venturing too far into the woods without a partner, I stuck close to the road. The trailhead for St. Mary Falls is 10 miles down the Going-to-the-Sun Road at the head of St Mary Lake. The trail quickly plunges through deep forest down to an intersection with the Continental Divide Trail. After barely a mile and a half of hiking, the trail crosses the river at St Mary Falls. It's a gorgeous, albeit crowded location. It's well worth leaving the trail and common viewpoints and scrambling around on the rocky banks of the river to get closer and different views of the falls.
The top of the falls are a little tight and choked off by the surrounding rock walls. In order to eliminate this restriction and to get a different composition, I crossed back over the bridge and walked underneath.
Past St Mary Falls, the trail continues uphill for less than a mile. The hike follows the river and there are numerous waterfalls along the edges of the trail that are not marked or frequented.
After a total of about 2.25 miles of hiking, the trail levels off at Virginia Falls. These falls are much higher and much more dramatic than St Mary Falls. There are multiples levels and steps to the falls, and tons of small pools and drop-offs. It's a fun area to explore around, although it was mobbed with kids and their families when I was there.
You can check out the GPS tracks for my hike to St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls here: 9.1.2012 St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls on Garmin Connect.
Triple Falls
The next day I woke up early and drove up the spectacular Going-to-the-Sun Road to Logan Pass. The parking lot fills quickly and I was trying to beat the crowds for my morning hike. I set off up the Hidden Lake Trail at around 9:30 AM. I topped out at the Hidden Lake Overlook and then turned around and started back down to the trail. My objective for the morning was Triple Falls, an awesome set of three creeks that all spill into one small slot in the bedrock. The location is a somewhat closely guarded secret and no one will quite tell you where it is. After about an hour and a half of tramping around in creeks and on snowfields, tensely looking over my shoulder for bears, I finally stumbled onto Triple Falls. The leading image in this post is one of the first shots I took. The water was absolutely frigid and the spray inside the slot was intense, so I didn't linger very long. I can't wait to get back though, as this would have been a killer location for a sunrise or a sunset.
I've got a ton more pictures from Glacier that I'm still working on processing and those should be posted within the next couple days (Posted Here!)as I find the time.

CHICAGO Rio Tinto Fer et Titane (RTFT) plans to spend Canadian $107 million ($108.28 million) on two environmental projects.
The Sorel-Tracy, Quebec-based subsidiary of London-based Rio Tinto Plc said the projects are aimed at reducing sulfur dioxide emissions and improving dust collection.
One project, expected to cost C$85 million ($86.02 million), will see a new emissions treatment plant built at the companys metallurgical complex in Sorel-Tracy, the company said. Construction is expected to begin in 2013 and be completed by late 2014.
The second project will entail installing a new dust collection system that will allow RTFT to comply with more-stringent environmental regulations slated to take effect in Quebec in 2013. RTFT expects to complete the C$22-million ($22.26-million) project next summer.
Both investments are part of an initiative announced in May 2011 to spend C$800 million over five years to bolster RTFTs operations in Quebec, said the company, which makes titanium dioxide feedstock as well as iron, steel and metal powders.

Ellis Amdur's writing on martial arts has been groundbreaking. In this volume, Amdur has radically reworked his iconoclastic essays first published on the website of Aikido Journal. Here, he attempts to establish the existence of something all but lost in Japanese martial arts -- a sophisticated type of training, encompassing mental imagery, breath-work, and a variety of physical techniques that offered the practitioner the potential to develop skills sometimes viewed as nearly superhuman. Commonly referred to as "internal training," and usually believed to be the provenance of Chinese martial arts, Amdur asserts that not only was it once common among many Japanese martial traditions, but elements of such training still remain, passed down in a few martial arts -- literally "hidden in plain sight." As always, Amdur reminds us that this is a human endeavor and he provides vivid, even heartbreaking portrayals of some of the great practitioners of these skills, men who devoted their lives to an obsessive pursuit of power.

Wesley Woodyard was just happy to see a familiar face in the defensive coordinator's office when he returned for workouts this week.
"Huge," he said Wednesday. "I mean, today, as players we go over and talk about things that we already knew from last year, so it's a huge help that we come in with the same defensive system two years into it, and not really having to worry about learning all new things, all new coaches, all new schemes."
Jack Del Rio's return was a relief to many Broncos — chief among them Woodyard and cornerback Champ Bailey, the two longest tenured defensive players on the roster. For Bailey, this will be just the third time in his 15-year career that he'll work under the same coordinator as he did the previous year. But at least Bailey knew what it was like to have continuity. Woodyard never did.
But Bailey and Woodyard learned how to adjust and endure. It can be harder for the younger players, who just figured out one system before being plunged into another, which hindered their progress.
"Well, anytime you get two years in a row with the same defense, that's a blessing," said Derek Wolfe, who began his first full NFL offseason this week. "It only happened to me once in college and I had three different defenses in college."
The lack of continuity at defensive coordinator in recent years was an easily-cited reason whenever struggles hit — and a justifiable one. The Broncos' defense finished in the bottom half of the league four times between 2007-11 and dead last in 2010, and constant change had much to do with that.
Now, there's no excuse.
"A little more familiarity going on around here," Woodyard said. "But right now, we just have to push ourselves and do better things."

Smallpox DiagnosisInitial diagnosis of smallpox is most likely based on a history and physical examination findings; any person suspected of having the disease needs to be isolated, people caring for the patient should use strict isolation-barrier techniques to protect themselves and others from exposure and local, state and national health authorities should be informed immediately. Other procedures (quarantine and vaccinations of people who contacted the patient) will be done if smallpox is diagnosed (see below).
