The links between celiac disease and multiple sclerosis (MS) seem clear at first. Both are autoimmune diseases, which means they both involve damage to tissues and organs inflicted by your own immune system, and both occur far more frequently in women than in men.
In addition, both conditions involve a wide range of similar symptoms, many of which are easy to overlook or attribute to something else. And both may elude diagnosis by physicians, in large part due to that wide range of symptoms.
Given all that -- plus growing anecdotal evidence of improvements some MS patients report when following the gluten-free diet -- it's easy to assume there's a link between the two conditions.
Well, there may be a link -- after all, most autoimmune diseases seem to share some common genetic factors. However, it's not clear whether there's truly an increased incidence of celiac disease among multiple sclerosis patients, or whether following a gluten-free diet actually can help MS patients manage their condition.
Multiple Sclerosis Progressively Affects Nerves, Spinal Cord
Multiple sclerosis occurs when your immune system attacks the myelin sheath surrounding your nerves, leading to inflammation and progressive damage. Once this nerve covering is damaged, your nerve impulses slow down or stop.
Multiple sclerosis symptoms can include loss of balance and coordination, problems walking or moving your arms and legs, tremors, muscle spasms or numbness and fatigue. Symptoms also can include constipation, brain fog (feelings of fogginess, inattention or difficulty reasoning), depression and problems with vision.
Most MS patients experience "attacks" or periods of increased symptoms, potentially followed by one or more relapses.
It's tough to diagnose multiple sclerosis; your physician may suspect MS on the basis of your symptoms, but first must rule out other conditions with similar symptoms. As with celiac disease, many of the potential symptoms (brain fog, sexual dysfunction, mild depression and fatigue) can be caused by stress, which may lead to delays in diagnosis.
One Study Shows Definitive Link Between Celiac and MS
Research published in 2011 indicates a strong link between multiple sclerosis and celiac disease.
Clinicians in Spain analyzed the prevalence of positive celiac blood tests and biopsies in people with confirmed multiple sclerosis, and in their first-degree relatives. The researchers included 72 MS patients, 126 of their first-degree relatives, and 123 healthy control subjects.
The study found celiac disease -- with at least Marsh III level villous atrophy -- in 11.1% of the multiple sclerosis patients, compared with just 2.4% of the control subjects.
Celiac disease was even more prevalent in first-degree relatives of those with multiple sclerosis -- the researchers found it in 32% of those relatives.
All the MS patients found to also have celiac disease were put on a gluten-free diet, and all "improved considerably both with respect to the gastrointestinal and to the neurological symptomatology in the follow-up period," the study's authors said.
Research on Links Between Two Conditions Not Clear
Despite the study from Spain, it's still not clear whether people with multiple sclerosis have higher rates of celiac disease. Two other studies -- one from Italy and one from Iran -- tested groups of patients with multiple sclerosis for celiac disease, and did not find rates above those of the general population.
It's also possible to have high levels of certain antibodies against gluten and still not have celiac disease.
For example, an Israeli study published in 2009 found high levels of anti-gluten antibody tTG-IgA in multiple sclerosis patients, but did not find an increased rate of celiac disease. "The specific role of these antibodies in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis remains uncertain and requires additional research," the researchers concluded.
Another study looked at test results for AGA-IgG and IGA-IgA anti-gluten antibodies in patients with a variety of neurological diseases, including multiple sclerosis. Those researchers found antibodies against gluten in 57% of those patients, and ultimately diagnosed celiac disease in 17%.
Can You Treat Your Multiple Sclerosis with a Gluten-Free Diet?
Despite anecdotal reports of improvements in multiple sclerosis patients who begin following the gluten-free diet, there's no strong medical evidence that following the diet can help you with your MS symptoms.
Some MS researchers have proposed the idea of The Best Bet Diet for multiple sclerosis, which eliminates gluten, dairy, legumes and refined sugar. There's no firm evidence for the effectiveness of this diet, but some MS patients report they feel much better when they keep gluten out of their diets.
So what's the bottom line? If you have multiple sclerosis plus symptoms of celiac disease, you should consider being tested for celiac. You need to perform any testing first, before you go gluten-free, or you risk inaccurate test results; the testing relies on circulating antibodies, which disappear once you start a gluten-free diet.
Even if your test results are negative, you might still notice benefits to your MS symptoms by going gluten-free or by eliminating other foods, such as dairy or legumes, from your diet. If you think this may be the case, talk to your doctor about trying an elimination diet to identify potential dietary culprits.

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) - A former Vermont state trooper accused of assaulting two men he believed had stolen his canoe has applied for unspecified disability benefits from the state and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
A hearing on Eric Howley's case in Brattleboro on Tuesday mentioned the disability request. Assistant Attorney General Matthew Levine said if the 40-year-old Howley is found eligible for disability payments, it could have a bearing on the prosecution of his case.
Howley, who resigned in May, is accused of 2 counts of simple assault. Court papers said he repeatedly slammed a man's head on the trunk of his cruiser and pushed another man into a rock at a Wilmington lake in April. They were in a canoe Howley identified as his and that he had reported stolen.

Or: When Evil is notSpoilerIt was not turning out to be a good night for anyone except, perhaps, Hatch, who was sleeping the deep sleep of the innocent on her camp mat. She'd almost persuaded us to pitch real tents before Es reminded us that we needed to cannibalize them for patch-work on our clothing. The spare cloth had been burned in our last battle when Endeca used its satchel as a holder for her alchemist's fire.
The newest edition to our group was some manner of experimental construct - a clockwork man, ticking and clicking near us. I didn't like him. I still don't - too cold. Too unreal. Dedicated to his god, certainly, and capable of great feats of prowess in battle thanks to his faith. But his heart beat to a wizard's march, not to Mother Nature's. He was staring at Hatch, glass eyes unblinking.
She killed three innocents with that maneuver.
"I know," I said wearily. "She usually does. I was happy at merely three, to be honest. May they rest with the Goddess until rebirth comes."
She has done this before?
"Often, Pendulum. Very often. She doesn't mean to. Hatch doesn't even know what she's doing, half the time. I don't even know what she's doing half the time. Thank the Lord of Might that she hasn't had an episode in weeks. The last one leveled an entire village. Two hundred lives, gone in less than ten seconds, and there's Hatch, blinking at the ashes and proposing to make mud pies the moment she finds a riverbed that isn't dry and scorched."
Hatch turned in her sleep and moaned pathetically, and I had to resist the urge to touch her shoulder and try to comfort her. Touching Endeca while she was sleeping provoked episodes.
She is sleeping, druid. Why do we not kill her and spare the innocent lives she would claim?
I gave Pendulum a good, hard look and spoke quietly, perhaps more harshly than I had intended to.
"Pendulum, you see before you a rare being. An innocent. A real innocent. Not a naive mortal waiting to have the veil torn from her eyes. Innocence isn't like that, really. It's forged from horror, and pain, and desperation, and the bright, fierce, hope that tomorrow will bring something different. Something better. I don't know what happened to Hatch, but she doesn't deserve worse. She needs help, crusader. Not murder."
Surely the same can be said of the residents of that village?
"Would your god damn them solely for having been murdered, crusader?"
"I'm not going back!"
I was at Hatch's side in an instant as she bolted upright, making shushing noises and speaking softly in Elvish. I didn't quite understand her dialect, but mine was evidently comprehensible to her, for her panicked breathing slowed down, then settled back into sleep.
"Pendulum, my people do not sleep naturally. Endeca has gone through much pain and training to violate our physiology in such a manner, and the only reason for her to do so would be to escape her past. To forsake her being entirely. Something happened to her, four years ago, that has completely redefined her, to the point where the girl she was before does not exist. That girl is dead. But do the gods know that? And should we really leave the choice to them?"
The gods are righteous.
I looked at Hatch's face, troubled in sleep as it never was when she woke.
"Are they?"

CNN Wonders What Censure Will Do to Charlie Rangel's Health
During coverage of Charlie Rangel's verdict delivered by the House Ethics Committee, CNN's John Roberts called the situation "tough times," for the congressman – and wondered what the trauma will to Rangel's health given that he is 80 years old.
Referring to the censure of Sen. McCarthy in the 1950s which "broke him," Roberts remarked that "now Charlie Rangel's 80 years old, what will censuring potentially do to him?"
CNN anchor Candy Crowley also mentioned Rangel's age, saying that the hearings were "tough to watch." She added that "the next step" of the House voting on having the censure or not "is really even more painful."
"This is a rough one, but certainly one that has had, if you will, bipartisan support on something that's difficult, clearly, for the congressman to deal with," Crowley said, putting the situation in perspective.
A transcript of the segment, which aired on November 19 at 8:07 a.m. EDT, is as follows:
JOHN ROBERTS: Good to see you, Candy. So the panel voted nine-to-one to censure Charlie Rangel. If he is censured, it's going to be the first time it's happened since the early 1980s. I mean this is – these are really some tough times for him.
CANDY CROWLEY: They really are. It-It's tough to watch, I'll tell you. It was – he was at times defiant going into this saying, you know, the process is flawed. In the end, he talked about the things that he had done, both in his military service, which was heroic, as well as for his constituents. He is 80 years old, I mean this is tough to watch. Nonetheless, it was pretty overwhelming from his Democratic and his Republican colleagues who found these ethics violations. And now the next step is really even more painful, because the House of Representatives itself will vote on whether to have this censure. He stands on the House floor. People could or might come out and talk about what he's done. Certainly he will have to listen to the Speaker talk about what the Ethics Committee has found. So this is – this is a rough one, but certainly one that has had, if you will, bipartisan support on something that's difficult, clearly, for the congressman to deal with.
KIRAN CHETRY: Yeah, and I – it doesn't bode well in general for the Congress, to have to have all that, and it would be Speaker Pelosi doing that? Because it's not the new congress yet?
CROWLEY: Yes...it would be Speaker Pelosi. And it's – you know, it's a very sort of solemn side. As you say, I think they've done – the Ethics Committee has been around for about 40-plus years, I think they've done it four times. This is a big deal. I mean the next step would have been expulsion, so censure is huge.
ROBERTS: You know Candy, David Gergen was on with me last night on 360 talking about this. And he pointed to Joe McCarthy's censure, and said that really, really broke him. Now Charlie Rangel's 80 years old, what will censuring potentially do to him?
CROWLEY: Well he was just re-elected by his constituents obviously, and, but I think it's – you know, when, when you are looking back at a career, the kind of career that Charlie Rangel has had, both in the House and in the military, this is in – this is in the history books now, and that's something that as you know, always shows up in that first graph of history. It's not – clearly from his remarks he made yesterday – this was not something – he does know that this is something that does put a taint on his record.

Rangel has played this weak, poor old man stunt to the hilt, and it's absurd that these TV clowns are worried about his "censure." He ought be getting free health care in a Federal prison today.
But nobody wanted to trip the Race Card, especially the Holder Justice Department.
With no Federal trial, Rangel should then have been expelled, but the House wasfearful again. If the House goes for anything less than censure after two years of dancing around this inevitability. they'll hand the GOP yet one more issue to beat the Dems over the head with.

Hey, Candy...people aren't on their last legs at 80, any more, you know!
As evidenced by his August birthday party (This ain't no funeral!! -Rangel)
Then he gave an impromptu speech in Congress
Oh, and Rangel said he wouldn't even accept a reprimand!
"If I can't get my dignity back here, then fire your best shot at getting rid of me through expulsion."
Frankly, I think they ought to call his bluff and kick his butt out.

The difference between Censure and . . .
Submitted by neutron on Fri, 11/19/2010 - 9:28pm.
The difference between Censure and un-Censured: Rangel's not a "Ranking Member."
The difference between Censure and vacation: given vacation, you don't have to go into the office.
The difference between Censure and a perjury: 1 count of perjury will get you jail time; unlimited ethics guilty counts and Censure will cost you nothing.
The difference between Censure then and now: in 1776 through 1950, integrity and personal reputation meant something. For present-day Democrats, getting Censured, caught with prostitutes, dis-barred, swindling investors, sweetheart deals on motgages, et cetera, only increase your stature in The Party.
I'd like a super giant Slurpee, a bag of Cheetos, a case of Bourbon, and a couple of scratch-off Censures to go!

You've heard of Stockholm Syndrome?
Submitted by KC Mulville on Fri, 11/19/2010 - 8:12pm.
What do you call it when a reporter develops relationships with sources? Rangel was a frequent guest of the media, a frequent Sunday morning visitor, and no doubt a constant background source for every reporter in town who wanted to get some inside dirt. In other words, the media loved this guy because he gave them what they wanted.
- A powerful man is accused of substantial corruption.
- His own colleagues agree with the charges.
... and the media is concerned with how it will hurt ... the corrupt politician?
How will Al Capone feel about his conviction? How will O.J. feel about his conviction? How will Bruno Hauptmann feel about his conviction?
Look what the media has done. Because Rangel is a favorite of the media, and a key player in the game that the media wants to play, they see this whole trial from his perspective. Lost is the view of the public he defrauded in his public service.

Charlie Rangel is exhibit A
Submitted by motherbelt on Fri, 11/19/2010 - 8:22pm.
Charlie Rangel is exhibit A in why we need mandatory retirement at 65 for congressmen if we can't get term limits. There is NO reason why anyone should in congress this long. It breeds a sense of entitlement and arrogance.
Our congressmen often talk of the "privilege" of "service." But they really think of it as an entitlement. If it's such a privilege, then don't be selfish; get the hell out and let someone else have the "privilege."
Censure isn't "huge"...it's a crock. Words, just words. Thre's no actual punishment or consequences. Will he even lose his seat on Ways and Means?
As for concerns about his health, there's a simple solution: he could retire.

Great videos.
I think Denny Crane was creator David E. Kelley's twisted vision of an uber-Right Wing disintegrating fanatic meant to mock and ridicule the Right. It backfired. Most people seemed to have loved the character. With that dynamic, Kelley was compelled to write better scripts for Crane that secured his popularity even more.
Then again, Kelley probably wanted to make big bucks so he could pay more in taxes like a "real" patriot. Yep, I'm sure he pays more than required every year.
I get the gun video emailed often. Always good for a viewing.

mockery of a mockery
Submitted by jon_torlin on Sat, 11/20/2010 - 2:03am.
Regardless, this was a total mockery of a situation that should have led to the removal of a scumbag like Rangel. Hence the mockery of the mockery.
edit: I knew someone who grew up in Harlem and he knew Rangel. The word scumbag is an extremely polite term in this case.

I neglected to put /sarc in my original post.
Only libs would consider that Rangel should be told "Bad" only once, and that to do so more than once would be at a minimum unfair, or at the worst, racist.
I agree that the situation was/is a mockery; a farce, even.
It is bothersome to know that a politician at federal level can get away with being censured, for actions that would put you or I in jail had we committed them.

If it helps, I had imagined Pelosi doing the "bad" thing with the same expression she had on her face when Joe Wilson did his "You lie!" bit plus a little pointing and then when asked by the media about his punishment, she would use the same response she said before about the Constitution: Are you serious?
It kinda brought a bit of macabre humour on this whole nonsense.

being 80 years old simply means he's had more time than some to do the right thing....and he hasn't! his age should count against him, not a factor to induce leniency. this is a load of bs. out in the real world, you get caught doing shenanigans on the job you're on the street scratching your @$$ in the unemployment line(if not doing time). not in the federal government. oh no, you screw up and you get a high five from your cohorts and teary eyed sympathy from the crap media. give me a break!

Can't feel sorry for him
Submitted by tampamom25 on Fri, 11/19/2010 - 9:33pm.
His military career and awards do absolutely nothing to negate the seriousness of what he's done. In fact they make it even worse because you would expect someone with that kind of dedication and valor in the service of his country to have a higher standard of behavior than Rangel has shown with his dealings. If he's so old that he can't stand up under censure, then he should resign from his post and spare everyone the spectacle that this is sure to become. His illegal doings will become the centerpiece of any legacy he thinks he might leave behind.

True. A valorous military
Submitted by stratman on Fri, 11/19/2010 - 11:59pm.
A valorous military career did not stop the Left from going nutz over Randy "Duke" Cunningham or his final disposition.
I doubt that Cunningham was the "most corrupt Congresman ever." Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Ted Kennedy, and John Murtha surely are qualified to compete for that award given their personal conduct and the damage they have done to America.

If Rangel's age makes him too fragile to bear the light consequences of his corruption, then he is too fragile to be in a demanding political office, period. Of course, these are just weak attempts by liberals at CNN to defend and protect one of their own.

Firat, realize that Charlie is not the firat Congressman from Harlem to have these problems. The guy he replaced, Adam Clayton Powell, was as crooked.
The difference is the Dems wouldn't seat Powell after his re-election even after trial. Sounds like it should be done to Charlie this way. The cheater deserves to be in a slammer.

Submitted by dirtydan64 on Sat, 11/20/2010 - 1:35am.
when the charges were read, as I watched the guy who read the charges it was of my opinion he clearly was on the side of rangel I could see it in his eye's, he when asked a question chose his words very very carfully to make dam sure he didn't put his own self in jepardy with regards to the answers he spouted. I'm sure Chaley threw a few bucks his way !! After Charlie this guy should be looked into on how he arrived at the suggestion of a mere Censure when you compare Charlie's charges against Mr. Trafficat's from just a decade ago Charlie by far were more serious and of course had DOJ Holder had any balls should have been in Prison for his Crimes, and since Holder didn't persue Charlie then we should of looked to the IRS to do there JOBS where by again Charlie should be in Prison awaiting his hearing by the Enthnics committee on top of charges form Holder & IRS and stripped him of every penny he has and every item he accumulated along the way e.g the Houses, cars (Parked for free) villas, gold watches, rings and the Millions he's got stashed away over there in on the Island of NaboomBoom !!
The one thing we have going for us is this, those who reside on this Committee had better head the voices of the American People as should those in the House cause come 2012 this will be remembered and if most if not all of them are up for re-election they had better do the right thing and strip him of every bit of power, and kick his ugly fat Ass out on his head cause it will come back to bite them all in the ass if they allow him to walk away with a slap on the wrist !!!

I think that equity pay with the men and women in the armed forces for politicians is wrong. Politicians and government workers should get 50% of what the military gets paid, since putting oneself in harm's way should pay more than bloviating from the Senate or House floor and certainly more than someone wielding a rubber stamp.

The amount of contempt for us found in Rangel and other "representatives' is incalculable. They don't give a damn about us. In fact, if they could be representatives without dealing with constituents, they would.

"Tough" to watch? He brought it upon himself!
Submitted by CobraMan on Sat, 11/20/2010 - 3:46pm.
"It-It's tough to watch, I'll tell you."
Yes, I it would be rather "tough" to "watch" one of your idols being exposed as a mere mortal, one who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, as they say.
I, for one, have little sympathy for Rangel. He brought this upon himself, so he has no one but himself to blame. His "age" is immaterial. If you're so worried about what this will do to him at his age, supposedly because the "stress" may cause him harm, then why didn't you show concern for him being in the House at his "age" when he was running for re-election. Being the "head" of a committee, as well as being a member of the House in general, is always a stressful situation. How will this "censure" make that stress any worse?
Stop making excuses, stop looking to evoke our sympathy, for a man who knowing, willfully, and DEFIANTLY brought this all upon himself. Rangel isn't a victim here, he the perpetrator. His constituents, and the American public in general, are the victims here. It's time we treat him, and all other who do this, as the true perpetrators they relly are.

A man who survived a violent wreck on Georgia 400 is thankful for three Good Samaritans who risked their lives to pull him out of a fiery van.James Carnes said that after his car crashed on Monday morning, he realized he was really in danger. Carnes was paralyzed from the chest down in a diving accident nearly two years ago. "I know after a couple of minutes, that's when I started to realize that the steam from the front had started to turn to really dark smoke and that's when I realized the van was on fire," Carnes said.After the car crash in his van, he worried that his fear of being trapped and unable to escape danger would become a frightening reality. "That's when people started to realize, 'He's in a chair and that's the reason he hadn't got out of the van yet,' and that's when everybody went into action," Carnes said.Gary McBryar and a colleague were among those pulling their cars over to pull Carnes out after realizing he was paralyzed and had no escape. Carnes thinks he wouldn't have survived without those helping hands. "Goodhearted people like that will stop and help someone," Carnes said. "A lot of people will ride by and don't want to get involved, but good people like that are hard to come by."Carnes is eager to meet his rescuers to thank them in person.One woman, 60-year-old Maria Martinez, was killed in the crash.

A belief that all children with developmental disabilities have the potential for learning and all of our adults with developmental disabilities can step out into the community and be as independent as possible. This is not just what we believe here at TLE, this is what we strive to achieve!

Categorized Under: Energy
This July 2009 paper by ICF International highlights The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, more commonly known as the Waxman-Markey bill, which has been passed the U.S. House of Representatives and is now being taken up in the U.S. Senate. While some provisions may change before it's signed into law, the basic provisions are likely to remain and there is no doubt that it represents the most sweeping change to hit the power sector - perhaps ever. The paper discusses the challenges posed by the legislation and how a corporate compliance strategy can help companies prepare.

NEW ORLEANS — Twenty-five Red Cross disaster relief trucks are heading to Oklahoma, including two from New Orleans, to aid in the response to the victim's of Monday's devastating tornado.
In all, five of the trucks are traveling from southern Louisiana, including Baton Rouge and Lafayette.
The volunteers said their first priority will be to provide people with food while also providing victims with everything from cleaning supplies to emotional support.
The bright spot in this tragedy are these people, who for years have dropped everything in their lives to run towards devastation and help.
Melissa Eugene, the spokeswoman for the local Red Cross, explained that the volunteers from this area have a special connection to this kind of tragedy.
"Our volunteers living in south Louisiana have experienced disaster themselves or been part of a local response," Eugene said. "So, it's important for them and many of them want to go and help other local communities."
"This one is going to be bad," said Tom Butler, who has volunteered for 17 years. "I've seen it on the news. This is the worse one I've seen so far."
Added Ethel Butler, "I like to help people. I've always helped people."
The local Red Cross said it's not worried about a shortage of these warm-hearted volunteers for the Oklahoma disaster, but said they can always use more help.

MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- A former Marquette University computer technician is accused of attempting to steal a dorm director's Facebook password with a computer program.
According to prosecutors, Christopher M. Cichon of Morris, Illinois had his toaster taken away in compliance with dorm rules.
The criminal complaint says the 21-year-old installed a program recording anything typed.
In the complaint, investigators say Cichon wanted the passwords to create posts under her name.
A pre-trial conference is set for June 29.
A defense attorney says there have been ongoing conversations with prosecutors and he expects the case to be resolved before the trial.

Yesterday's Apple event delivered quite a bit of new hardware and software. Here's a quick follow-up on my previous post outlining the pre-event predictions.
On the whole the strongest rumours were correct. The big announcement was the new iPad and iPad mini, now both with retina displays. A bit more news on the Mac Pro, although no concrete release date ("before the end of the year"), the main revelation being the price: "starting at $2999". Ouch. The MacBook Pro laptops were also refreshed with updated specs.
The biggest surprises were in the software announcements. We were fairly certain the new OS X — Mavericks — and revised iWork and iLife apps would feature, but through the entire software section of the presentation the words "free" and "available today" kept popping up. That the iLife and iWork apps (for iOS as well as OS X) would be free (although only for newly purchased hardware) was no surprise. But that Mavericks would be immediately available and free for anyone — not just as an upgrade from the previous version of OS X, but as an independent installer for anyone to download — this was a surprise. And it's downloadable right now. Good to see Apple pushing forward on OS X, when it would be so easy — at a time when mobile is booming — to concentrate solely on iOS.
For me the most interesting development, though, was the wide-ranging and forward-thinking update of the iLife and iWork software suites. Not only was a refresh long overdue — on both desktop and mobile — but Apple has until now failed to deliver proper document management and, crucially, collaboration between its apps via iCloud. I expected a redesign and a few new features, but this pushes Apple's productivity apps into a new arena altogether. 1
In the on-stage demo collaboration, management and online editing all seemed to work beautifully, and if they can actually make it work as well as it appeared to, Apple have done much to catch up on cloud-based web services. This is one area Taptivist will definitely be examining in the near future.
- Only Pages, Numbers and Keynote offer collaboration at the moment. Despite apparently improving sharing and iCloud integration, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand do not. Unsurprisingly — considering the mountains of data involved in digital images, audio and video, this would've been quite a feat. ↩

Batman Arkham Origins
Third party DRM: SteamThis game requires a free Steam account to play.
Also Available:
"In Arkham Origins we join Batman in his angsty teenage years. He's not the stoic, Kevin Conroy-voiced Batman of Asylum and City, who calmly asks criminals to turn themselves in before he beats them up, but a hot-headed, teeth-baring vigilante who punches first and asks questions later." - PCGamer.com
"Batman: Arkham Origins is a low point for the series, but even when it's not very good, it's still pretty good." - IGN.com
Batman: Arkham Origins™ is the next installment in the blockbuster Batman: Arkham videogame franchise. Developed by WB Games Montréal, the game features an expanded Gotham City and introduces an original prequel storyline set several years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, the first two critically acclaimed games of the franchise.
Taking place before the rise of Gotham City's most dangerous criminals, the game showcases a young and unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career as a crime fighter that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight. As the story unfolds, players will meet many important characters for the first time and forge key relationships.

Same visuals, Same gameplay only New & Different Story Elements.khawaja07 | Aug. 2, 2014 | See all khawaja07's reviews »
Batman: Arkham Origins is the Prequel to the critically acclaimed first entry in the series. Batman is new to the crime scene in the city and meets whole new villains on the way. This game is the starting point of a vintage rivalry between him and the Joker which already span 2 more games.
Just like Arkham City, Arkham Origins features the same gameplay mechanics and combat. it starts to get somewhat repetitive but still seems enjoyable and the Open World aspect also returns.You get some new gadgets to play, Riddler returns with new types of his strange riddles, new type of enemies to punch & take down and a lot more things to do! Arkham Origins for the first time, introduces a Multiplayer component to the series.
Graphics are also not too much upgraded from the last title as it came only after a year from Arkham City's Release. So, yea due to this, it has same texture and character model assets. However it does features somewhat more visual options than Arkham City to play with which is really good. The whole city still looks very pretty and gorgeous as you traverse through it.
The Voice overs have always been the best when it comes to the Arkham games and this title is no different.
Arkham Origins is mostly a Rehash of the previous title But with a lot more new story elements added to the game however it doesn't run too long and is considerable shorter than Arkham City and Arkham Asylum. Its greatly optimized for the PC as it has pretty modest system requirements. I recommend buying it when its on a sale or when its cheap in price otherwise only buy it if you're an avid Batman fan!
a pleasant surpriseAramose | July 30, 2014 | See all Aramose's reviews »
After months of reading reviews on websites,steam and various forums, I saw origins on GMG and decided to finally dive into it after finally finishing Arkham City. ( I have too many games and most of them I don't finish when I first get them) So I went in with an open mind thinking could it really be that much worse than AC? Much to my surprise after finishing the main story this morning I must say it was pretty awesome. So if you have played Arkham Asylum and City I highly recommend this title in the series. I actually found that it flowed better after a slow start but once it starts moving the story along I found it better than both previous titles. The gameplay is almost identical and the option to fast travel certainly speeds things along. It took me about 12 hrs to finish the main story which is about the same time it took me to finish AC. But I must say I enjoyed this title much more because it seemed to flow better with the story. Now I am off to play the DLC. So in closing it is not perfect but I found it well worth sticking it out and finishing it, the boss fights alone are worth your time. And watching the story unfold I feel you will be pleasantly surprised as much as I was.
A satisfying experiencerasky_music | July 29, 2014 | See all rasky_music's reviews »
Batman Arkham City is one of my favorite games and I was afraid this game wouldn't be able to live up to its predecessor. It certainly did exceed my expectations and is an enjoyable journey throughout. I have some gripes with the game, like the starting sequence. The intro feels forced and the game holding your hand through it doesn't make it any better. But once you get out of the forced intro sequence you'll find yourself enjoying the game much more, or at least I did. The combat doesn't feel as receptive as AC, but it certainly is good. The boss battles are very enjoyable and satisfying.

I love the new graphic of this game it improve a lot over the first one. I'm just try it a few minute and i would said that i love it so much will play it more later as i bought 3 batman together because the developer delivery the 3 awesome batman. So it will take a lot of my time to finish it all.
This one is improve a lot in gameplay and graphic i would recommend it to all of my friend who like superhero games
A solid entry in a fantastic series.PrimalHunter779 | July 26, 2014 | See all PrimalHunter779's reviews »
Batman: Arkham Origins is the third installment in the Batman: Arkham series of video games; it serves as a prequel to both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City and provides an insight into the early days of Batman's career. This is the first game in the series I have played extensively, despite owning the other two titles. This game follows Batman/Bruce Wayne on Christmas Eve in Gotham City; the villain Black Mask places a significant bounty on your head, meaning the best and brightest villains flock to Gotham on Christmas Eve to take down Batman. I thought this was a great way to provide diversity in the villains you'll encounter, each with their own characteristics and different fighting styles; Bane, Copperhead, the Joker, Deadshot, Mad Hatter, Deathstroke, Electrocutioner and the Penguin are all villains that Batman will encounter in one way or another. The voice acting and motion capture of these characters is absolutely brilliant, and it was very enjoyable to face off against them. This game is a sprawling open world brawler; Batman has a number of tools and gadgets to navigate the vast environments such as grappling hooks, glue grenades, smoke grenades and batarangs, all of which come in useful in a variety of ways. You can glide across the cityscape uninterrupted; this is one of the best features of the game, as the player is allowed to navigate the world as you choose without limitation. Gameplay in Arkham Origins consists of engaging in fist fights with goons, sneaking around areas, solving puzzles and gliding around Gotham. Like previous entries in the series, Arkham Origins uses the freeflow combat system; as Batman, you can fly around a punch up whilst delivering hits and countering attacks. Different enemies require different fighting styles and techniques, and the enemy diversity as well as the range of tools means the fights are always entertaining and challenging. The stealth sections are equally entertaining, as you can use your tools and the environment to eliminate enemies undetected. You'll also come across challenging puzzles within the game, such as bypassing traps and blocked areas as well as solving puzzles left by Enigma. Video and sound design in this game is also very good. Excellent attention to detail in combination with a highly appealing graphics engine, this game looks absolutely stunning on high settings. Voice acting and sound design is also fantastic, and feels like a highly authentic Batman experience. This game was very enjoyable due to its highly polished gameplay and compelling story. Without spoilers, the scenes concerning the Joker and his early meetings with Batman provide a unique take on the story that I found extremely interesting and riveting for the game. If you enjoy action packed brawlers in an open world setting, I highly recommend this game. Loads of replay value and excellent value for money, Batman: Arkham Origins is an epic game for fans of Batman and action games in general. 9 / 10

Need Help Finding Sweet, Fairytale Girl Names!
Hey guys!
My boyfriend and I were discussing names the other day and we agreed on our style of girl names. Now I'm trying to find names to fit that style. We both like names that are sweet and innocent, like names you'd read in a fairytale, but names that still age well. I'm a huge fan of literature and he likes the fantasy genre in general (books, movies, video games, etc.), so we like names that are a little different, but not too out there. I usually like classic names also, like Florence, Eleanor, and Alice. So far the only name I've really thought of is Cora/Coralie. Can you help me out?

San Diego, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - San Diego Padres third baseman Chase Headley underwent arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to repair a torn medial meniscus in his left knee, the team has announced.
Headley, the National League's leader with 115 RBI in 2012, was plagued by several injuries that limited him to 13 home runs, 50 RBI and a .250 average over 141 games this past season. In addition to his knee problem, the switch- hitter missed the first two weeks of the 2013 campaign after fracturing his left thumb during spring training.
The 29-year-old put up 31 homers while batting .286 during a breakthrough 2012 season in which he also won a Gold Glove and placed fifth in the NL MVP voting.
Headley, who will entering his final arbitration-eligible season in 2014, is expected to be sidelined from 4-to-6 weeks and should be ready for spring training.

Man faces decades in jail for BB gun assaultBy Brent Curtis
staff writer | March 19,2014A Rutland man faces up to 35 years in jail for an alleged assault and robbery with a BB gun.
Roosevelt M. Norris, 44, pleaded innocent Tuesday to felony charges of assault and robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a weapon.
When Norris public defender Nelson Floyd argued that setting bail at $75,000 was too high for an offense involving a BB gun, Judge Theresa DiMauro said she disagreed.
Its still capable of causing serious bodily injury if shot in the eye, the judge said.
According to an affidavit filed by Rutland City Police Detective Samson Delpha, Norris wouldnt have had to be much of a marksman to hit such a vulnerable target.
During the alleged assault on Monday afternoon, Norris allegedly pressed the muzzle into 32-year-old Robert Gradys eye while threatening to shoot him in the eye and the ear.
Grady told police that he was at his 21 Church St. apartment sometime after 5 p.m. Monday when Norris, who Grady said he knows by the names B and Maserati, knocked on his door.
He said he answered his door to find Norris pointing a gun at him that looked like a Glock handgun. Grady said Norris shot him with pellets while charging him. Grady told police he fell to the ground, and Norris got on top of him, striking him in the head and ribs with the butt of the gun.
While on top of Grady, Norris allegedly demanded to know Where is the (expletive) phone?
Grady said he was in fear for his life when he handed over his cell phone, a credit card and a jewelry box in the apartment.
Police say Grady was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center where it took five staples to close a wound to his head.
Norris left the apartment but was arrested soon after in Castleton at the Trak Inn. Police say he was found with a carbon dioxide-powered BB gun along with Gradys phone, the credit card and a jewelry box.

Fresh from finishing above Inter in last season's campaign, hopes are high in Catania that the Elefanti will be able to improve yet again and even trouble the European places for the first time in their history. A strong tradition of Argentine players at the club was cultivated under Diego Simeone and Vincenzo Montella and Rolando Maran has admirably carried it on, naming no less than nine Argentinians in his XI for the match against Fiorentina, only Panagiotis Tachtsidis (Greece) and Giuseppe Bellusci (Italian) bucked the trend, helped on by the return from loan of Maxi López and the summer signings of Sebastián Leto and Fabian Monzón. They acquitted themselves well against a talented Fiorentina side themselves looking at Champions League qualification last week and although they ended up with no points, it was nevertheless an encouraging start. One thing is for sure: Inter will hold no fear after Catania managed to finish above them in last year's final Serie A standings.
Walter Mazzarri's first league game in charge of Inter ended with a largely comfortably 2-0 victory although for a lot of the first half, Inter rarely threatened. It was only after the introduction of summer addition Mauro Icardi that Inter really appeared to kick into gear and although he didn't make it on to the scoresheet himself, he was most certainly the spark behind the eventual victory. Having featured prominently in pre-season and in Inter's Coppa Italia victory over Citadella, it was a little strange that Icardi was sacrificed for another midfielder in Zdravko Kuzmanovic however given his impact, we should expect to see the youngster playing from the start here. After the horrors of last season, Inter fans will have been encouraged to see the side playing with a bit of confidence and the defence largely working well, although Genoa offered little in attack to test the defence out, and they should be given a much more stringent workover by the Catania attackers.
Inter are still without long-term absentees Diego Milito, Walter Samuel, Cristian Chivu and captain Javier Zanetti, whilst McDonald Mariga joins them in the treatment room after his return from loan at Parma. For Catania, Gino Peruzzi will definitely be sidelined whilst question marks hang over Sergio Almirón and Ciro Capuano who both missed the defeat to Fiorentina.
Catania injuries and suspensions
Out: Gino Peruzzi (injured). In doubt: Ciro Capuano, Sergio Almirón, Federico Friere.
Inter injuries and suspensions
Out: Diego Milito, McDonald Mariga, Javier Zanetti, Walter Samuel, Cristian Chivu (injured).

"I'm speechless," said Davis." I'm so honored to be recognized by HHYF. It's such a great organization and that they think I deserve an award, that's great. I don't do this for awards, I do it to help. That's just me."
Announcing the award, HHYF Executive Director Ellen Taylor had high praise for Davis.
"Janet epitomizes the best of harness racing with her indefatigable positive attitude. She has never hesitated to assist HHYF in whatever way we requested and even in ways we haven't. Her enthusiasm for helping the industry and young people makes her most deserving of this year's Service to Youth Award."

For more than six decades, an oversized American flag flew over Baltimore's Domino Sugar refinery, visible next to the iconic neon sign.
The flag was first raised when the refinery opened in 1922.
The flag pole was knocked down in a storm 25 years ago.
This year, on Veterans Day, the flag triumphantly returns.
The flag raising comes as the refinery celebrates its 90th anniversary year, and as the Baltimore region celebrates the War of 1812.
The 120-square foot American flag was raised above the building Monday morning.

Love thy ego as thyself. —Leonard Peikoff
My copy of The Concept of Benevolence by T. A. Roberts, in the series New Studies in Practical Philosophy, was deaccessioned from a university library. The librarian took advantage of the fact that it had not been borrowed since October 17, 1977, only four years after its publication, to disembarrass his institution of yet another book so uselessly cluttering up the library shelves. It was carefully endorsed with ugly withdrawal stamps to reduce its resale value to an absolute minimum. Perhaps the librarian was a follower of Ayn Rand, the apostle of selfishness, who did not want youth corrupted by stray thoughts of altruism. Going from the loan history of the book (and from my casual observations of British youth), there was never much danger of this, but it is always better to be safe than sorry and therefor ...

The Big Three. I do not know if the phrase was coined before Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen joined Paul Pierce in Boston. I do know the term has been used quite a lot this summer since Chris Bosh and LeBron James joined Dwyane Wade in Miami.
Ken Berger talks with Ben Gordon in a recent article, Pistons' Gordon salutes sacrifice made by Heat triumvirate, about the NBA arms race, and that if you do not have three NBA all stars on your team, you will no longer be in the hunt for a championship.
Towards the end of the article, Berger mentions that Chris Paul made a toast at Carmelo Anthony's wedding last weekend about forming "our own Big Three" in New York with Amar'e Stoudemire. I do not know whether the league will look into this as possible tampering or collusion, but I do believe it represents a new era for the NBA. Top tier players will no longer be interested in resigning for the max, if they are not in a situation to compete with the other elite players and teams in the NBA.
Unfortunately there are only so many genuine all star calibre players to go around. In the future, are we going to see only four or five genuine title contenders, then a significant drop off in terms of overall team talent and win/loss records.
If this is the future NBA landscape, how do the Sixers go about positioning themselves to make themselves relevent again? Especially when the definition of relevent in the NBA may be changing. Yes I know it appears this topic has been discussed ad nauseam, but I do not think anyone has factored in this future for the NBA in to the discussion.

change how it elects its mayor.
Currently, the mayoral candidate will win if that candidate
captures the most votes, even if is less than 50 percent of the votes cast.
Councilmen Chris Nickels introduced an ordinance that will make it so the
candidate can only win with more than 50 percent of the vote. If the candidate
gets less than that, there will be a runoff between the two candidates with the
highest number of votes.
"We are a town of 73,000 people," Nickels said. "It's a
sophisticated town. We have smart voters, and we want the majority of citizens
electing the next mayor and not a minority electing the next mayor."
Nickels said the high number of candidates who normally
crowd the race motivated him and Councilman Chris O'Neal to push for this new
"Let's say five people got involved in the race, and they,
for the most part divided the vote," Nickels said. "If you snuck in and got 25
percent of the vote, you could be elected mayor of the fourth largest city in
South Carolina and the 36th fastest area in the whole country. That
didn't make a whole lot of sense to us."
Nickels expects to see more candidates join the field, but
he hopes those candidates will work harder to connect with more voters.
"It will enlarge at least the initial group [of candidates], and then it will also
force folks to look for coalitions and try to bring them together," he said.
Because of a recent Supreme Court decision, the town of Mt.
Pleasant does not have to get this change approved by the Department of
Justice. Before that decision, all changes to voting procedures had to be approved by the U.S. government.
Nickels did say this change could cost between $20,000 and
$30,000 because of the extra staff needed for the possible runoff.
A town committee is holding a special meeting at 9 a.m.
Wednesday to vote on this change. After that, the full town council will
vote to approve the new system.
Nickels said, if approved, the new system will be in place
by August 15, which is the first day candidates can file to run for the Mayor.
The Executive Director of the Charleston County Board of
Elections said his staff is prepared for the possible additional runoff which
is scheduled for November 19. Election day is November 5.
