Contributory land value?
In reviewing eminent domain appraisals, I find it common that land value is nearly always valued as if vacant and ready for development under it's current zoning.
What ever happened to the theory of valuation of land in the cost approach based upon it's contributory value. Now I took all of the Appraisal Institute courses back in the '80s when it was the AIREA. I remember specifically when taking the report writing course, the example we were given that essentially tested this theory. We were to develop a cost approach of an apartment complex with underlying land zoned for development of 30 units per acre (recently rezoned). The units, which were only 5 years old, were built to a density of 20 units per acre which was the maximum density at the time of construction.
The question to the class was - which set of land comparables to use in the cost approach, comps zoned for the 20 upa density or zoned for 30 upa density? The answer given by the instructor, was the 20 upa sales. Because we were to value the contributory value of the land, not necessarily the land value as if vacant and ready for development to it's higher allowable density.
This problem is common with homesites where the underlying land has been rezoned for commercial use, although there is no demand for this commercial use and the existing improvements represent the highest and best use as improved. Thoughts?

Land is valued as if vacant and available for its highest and best use and that was, in fact, included in USPAP for years until they decided there is a case for valuing property in its use.
The "spread" between the value as if vacant and the value of its contribution (or land residual) is a measure of the external obsolescence...or if the contributory value is higher, it relates to a business enterprise value or in the cost approach - entreprenuerial profit.
Personally, it does not seem to matter a hoot except to confound the entire appraisal industry with another inconclusive, unwieldy concept that in the real world is, at best, a tiresome rehash of old arguments that plague the industry from day 1.
The prime example I have is a site that for 10 years in the small town near where I live wasn't "worth" $30,000. It was low, needed fill, and was sandwiched between a state highway, a railroad, a mini-storage, and a place that sells stoves. Wal-Mart built their new small Express store there and paid $125,000. Access is awful and wrecks will happen until someone is killed and the powers that be erect a stoplight....but that's a different issue. The gist is that without WM making the decision to seek land in that town which otherwise was never a candidate for a full size store, there is no HBU that would supported such a land value there. Instant value so to speak...
The local grocery store closed within one month, and the Dollar General remodeled....so is this a whackamole for the town? One store increased the tax base and one store just went to zero tax takes? Sorta.
"Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is much the same." Oscar Wilde
Wouldn't the spread in value be functional obsolescence due to an underimprovement of the site rather than external obsolescence?
I'm with you on obsolescence being measured rather than the contributory value of the land as if vacant. In a perfect world the same thing is accomplished - an adjustment to the overall value indication by the Cost Approach.
The obsolescence theory is referred to on pages 380-381 of the 13th Addition by AI, but I am unaware of any past references by USPAP.
Not being smart here ... but who is an appraiser to summarily say that the difference between 20 dus and 25 dus, or 30 dus is under utilization of the land?
I find it interesting on theory alone that appraisers wish to second guess developers who for the most part have done market studies to determine specifically that which will work best on a site and that which will provide the highest return.
Of course there are under utilized sites and I dont mean to imply they do not occurr, but that being said, if selection of the vacant land comparables is correct it should well relect the value of the site as vacant. Frankly I have not found much different in my market measureable on a DU basis between 20 and 25 DUs .... your market may be different.
In any event I believe it could potentially be a review searching for a problem rather than simply reviewing the appraisal and determining if its credible and not misleading with the value conclusions reasonable and well supported. If there is a problem certainly identify it but dont go looking for potential "theory" problems where they may not exist.
Determination of depreciation from all sources in this market is VERY difficult at best given the lack of avaialble sales, lack of available good cost data, and a general lack of an abundance of land sales. It can be done but I would nearly bet it seldom is in the type of markets we have experienced over the past four or five years.

My review of the eminent domain appraisal has to do with land acquired by the municipality - I've actually seen land valued both ways and I'm wondering what others are thinking. So we're discussing theory, not my specific review.
Realizing that "development densities" are essentially assigned by a zoning authority, and most probably done without a great deal of study, I have always taken them with a grain of salt but I have certainly paid attention to the densities available to vacant land sales and their price per DU.
One of the things I have found interesting is to go back to these properties and find out actual densities and then remeasure the "price per DU". During major expansion times maximizing land densities often occurrs, but it is just as reasonable to find that not always that is the case. Measurement then against "potential" and "actual" can be interesting and provide good analysis within an appraisal.
And again dont take this wrong, but I have always found the AI cases often show a difference representing the theory behind an adjustment but in real life, using actual sales data, the theory is not nearly as clear or clean as that found in the class.

A lot of land overvalued down here because it was appraised at its maximum permissible density while the demand for that capacity was ignored.
Those who find themselves at the top of the mountain did not fall there.
If the H&BU of the vacant subject land as of the effective date is to build apartments at a density of 30 u/ac (because zoning now allows that), (and I am assuming based on the discussion that land zoned 30 would sell for more than land zoned 20) then the land value estimate in the cost approach should reflect value of land where the economies and the zoning allow for 30 units per acre. The improvements would generally suffer depreciation over and above physical depreciation, essentially equal to the difference in 30 unit land and 20 unit land.
Maybe that is what you are saying and I just don't follow.
Isn't this the same example they always have in classes where a small house is sitting on main street. land on the side street is 10,000 per lot and on main street is 50,000 lot. Similar houses on side street sell for 60,000 so the house contributes 50,000 (60,000 less land 10,000 = 50,000). the same house on main street sells for 60,000 but the house only contributes 10000 (60,000 less land 50,000= 10,000.)
It easily could be a highest and best use problem ... if all land is zoned for 30 du's but only 20 du's are being constructed, it seems hard to conclude the highest and best use is for 30 du's. And land should be valued based on its highest and best use.
As Ken B points out .. over valuing could be very easily accomplished.
Foxtrot, Uniform, Charlie, Kilo Cancer ... In memory of our friend Bill Waite!
In the eminent domain appraisal, there is really no demand for commercial space at the subject's location, but zoning was recently changed due to the impending roadway widening and new tollway nearby. But any demand will probably be years in the future and the house is fairly new and is representative of the highest and best use as improved in the current market and in the foreseeable future.
So are people here agreeing that land is ALWAYS appraised as if vacant? Or are there members saying that the contributory value as a single family homesite is the proper way to value the underlying land subject to acquisition? In this case, no demand for commercial land at this location would seem to indicate properly valuing the land as a residential site. But let's say that there is some demand for a commercial use, and as if vacant, the land value would as a result be higher on a per SF basis. Same conclusions?

A believer in the possibilities of coexistence, Sayed Kashua is, or perhaps was, the most prominent Arab-Israeli author writing in Hebrew. Punctured with staccato prose, his column on leaving Jerusalem, perhaps forever, was a beautifully written, heartbreaking admission of defeat. For him, the notion that Arabs and Jews could live together had been shattered. "All those who told me there is a difference between blood and blood, between one person and another person, were right," Kashua concluded.
Kashua was writing very specifically about the Arab-Israeli conflict, but his resigned pessimism—after holding on, for years, to what may have seemed like naive hope—could just as well be applied to the entire region.
If this second phase of the "Arab Spring" is really about anything, it is about a collective loss of faith in politics. Just as Kashua has given up, so too, for instance, have many pro-military Egyptians. Yet their loss of faith, unlike Kashua's, led them to embrace, in panicked desperation, a violent absolutism. I remember how, before the Arab revolts began, Egyptians would take pride in the fact that they, unlike some of their neighbors, had little history of civil conflict and political violence.
The July 3, 2013 coup in Egypt has had a chilling effect beyond the country's borders, strengthening one particular narrative among both regimes and their opposition: that the only currency worth caring about is force. With the relative decline (for now) of the Muslim Brotherhood and other mainstream Islamist groups that had made their peace with parliamentary politics, radicals and extremists have quickly moved to fill the vacuum. They do not counsel patience. They tell followers and fence-sitters that there is little need to wait 20, 30, or 80 years for the Islamic State, or something like it. The Islamic State can be realized now through brute, unyielding violence. Within the varied, often fractious world of political Islam, the radicals remain a minority, but their numbers belie an outsized influence.
We might not like to admit it, but violence can, and often does, "work" in today's Middle East. This is not just a reference to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), but also to less extreme militant groups that control territory throughout Syria, providing security and social services to local populations. From Libya to Palestine to parts of the Egyptian Sinai, armed—and increasingly hard-line—Islamist groups are making significant inroads. This is the Arab world's Salafi-Jihadi moment. It may not last, but its impact is already impossible to dismiss, to say nothing of the long-term consequences. In Libya and Syria, even non-Salafi groups like the Brotherhood are adapting to the new world of anti-politics, allying themselves with local armed groups or working to form their own militias.
This is one of the great tragedies of the past few years—that a movement meant to demonstrate that peaceful protest could work ultimately demonstrated the opposite. According to former Jordanian Foreign Minister Marwan Muasher, the Arab Spring shattered the myth that "peaceful change in this region is not possible." Indeed, it did. But then the violence raged on in Syria and Libya. Leaders in these countries saw their Egyptian and Tunisian counterparts as weak and feckless, as conceding too much to their opponents and emboldening them in the process. In the case of the Egyptian coup in 2013, the most populous Arab country, long a bellwether for the region, willfully aborted its own democratic process. The worst mass killing in the country's modern history soon followed.
That this violence is, in some way, tied to religion makes it more difficult for outsiders to parse. As the military historian Andrew Bacevich writes, "No single explanation exists for why the War for the Greater Middle East began and why it persists. But religion figures as a central element. Secularized American elites either cannot grasp or are unwilling to accept this." Indeed, the divide between Islamists and what we might call "anti-Islamists" cannot be reduced to the single-minded pursuit of power. As I argue in my new book, it is just as much about real ideological divides over the role of religion in public life and the nature, meaning, and purpose of the nation-state.
Bacevich—as well as much of the American public—views this sort of intramural religious competition with understandable wariness and sees disengagement as the most appropriate response. After all, we're not particularly good at understanding other societies, particularly those facing state-building problems that bear more resemblance to the revolutions of 1848 than those of 1989.
But emphasizing the religious aspects of violence can easily devolve into cultural essentialism: the belief that "ancient hatreds" drive modern conflicts. It's a view most commonly associated with Robert Kaplan's Balkan Ghosts, which influenced President Bill Clinton and perhaps even delayed his decision to intervene in the Bosnian genocide.
Kaplan's book makes for a fascinating read, especially today. "Here men have been doomed to hate," he writes. The word "doomed" suggests the kind of resigned pessimism that, two decades later, characterizes Washington hand-wringing in response to the manifest failures of the Arab Spring. According to this view, we can never hope to understand the Middle East, with all of its sectarian complexity and sheer religious passion. It was easy to dismiss this sentiment when Sarah Palin, speaking about Syria, suggested that we should "let Allah sort it out." But she was only expressing the most extreme variation of something many Americans feel—that this is, in the words of President Obama, "somebody's else's civil war," and that because it is somebody else's, intervention by outside powers will do little to improve the situation.

Special Bob Dylan Treat for Early Morning Listeners Dec 2, 5:00am
Charlie Saber
If you're an early riser, you're in for a treat this morning. At 5:00am Charlie Saber will be airing a one hour radio special in conjunction with the release of the Complete Basement tapes.
In 1967, Bob Dylan and several members of what became The Band got together in upstate New York. For months they played and played - and recorded as they went along. It took eight years for some of the music to come out officially, but in that time, the legend of the Basement Tapes grew. Bootlegs were passed around, little hints of the bigger treasure that existed somewhere.
In this one hour radio special, you'll hear about these recordings from The Band member Garth Hudson, songwriter and author Sid Griffin, Dylan biographer Clinton Heylin, author Greil Marcus, writer Anthony DeCurtis, and producer Steve Berkowitz, plus many highlights from the full release of The Basement tapes.
If you miss the live airing of this special, you can listen to the archive at www.wruw.org/guide/ Just click on the 56k link for Charlie Saber's Rock & Country Casserole.

Authors: Bhatt, H; Agrawal, Y K

Abstract: A new glycylcalix[6]arene is synthesized by the reaction of glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride with acid chloride of p-carboxycalix[6]arene. Its physical properties, void volume, density, swelling, cation exchange capacity and t1/2 have been determined. The glycylcalix[6]arene is used as resin and its metal ion exchange capacities are determined. Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) were absorbed at 5.5, 4.5, 6.0, 4.0, 4.8 and 5.0 pH, respectively. These were eluted with NaF, H2SO4, acetic acid, tartrate and HCl. The chromatographic separation of Mn(II), Fe(II) Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) from each other was studied. These metals were preconcentrated on resin and determined in blood plasma and in the environment samples.

Authors: Raj, K Joseph Antony; Vijayaraghavan, V R

Abstract: Large pore aluminophosphate-based molecular sieves, MgMnAPO-5 and MnZnAPO-5, were synthesized by hydrothermal methods. The samples were characterised by the techniques of XRD, FT-IR, 31P and 27Al MAS-NMR spectra, BET-surface area, n-butylamine-TPD and ICP-MS chemical analysis. The catalytic performance of these materials has been examined for ethylation of benzene with ethanol in the vapour phase. The products were ethylbenzene, p-diethylbenzene, m-diethylbenzene, o-diethylbenzene and PAB[(1,2,4 and 1,3,5-triethylbenzene) and (1,2,4,5-tetraethylbenzene)]. Maximum conversion (20.6%) was observed at 400oC over MnZnAPO-5.

Authors: Neelamegam, R; Baskaran, V; Dhanasekar, R; Viruthagiri, T

Abstract: Preliminary studies were conducted to assess the degree of decolourization of different dyes such as Malachite green, Indigo carmine, Xylidine ponceau, Bismark brown, Congo red and Methyl orange using the white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus. The effect of initial concentration of different dyes on the decolourization was studied. The effect of pH and biomass concentration during decolourization were also observed for all the dyes. The time course of decolourization was also characterised for all the dyes at their optimum concentrations. An improved percent decolourization [95%] was achieved for Xylidine ponceau, Methyl orange, Congo red and Bismark brown with the rice straw attached Pleurotus ostreatus

Authors: Wisniak, Jaime

Abstract: The phlogiston theory was born around 1700 and lasted for about one hundred years. It provided for the first time a unifying approach to widely different chemical and physical phenomena and as such was adopted by the most famous European scientists, particularly the French ones. Its demise came with Lavoisier's new insights into the phenomena of chemical reactions in general and combustion in particular, as well as about the composition of air. Lavoisier's results disproved the phlogiston theory and established the applicability of the principle of mass conservation to chemical reactions.

Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy of Oxidized Polymer-Modified Bitumens
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 65, Issue 7, pp. 765-770 (2011)
Acrobat PDF (801 KB)
Oxidative age hardening of bitumen results in increasing fatigue susceptibility of bituminous mixtures, thus reducing the service life of asphalt pavements. Polymer additives to bitumen have been shown to improve its viscoelastic properties and, in some cases, reduce the level of bitumen hardening. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy enables evaluation of oxidation levels in bitumen by measuring the concentration of oxygen-containing chemical functionalities. This paper summarizes the results of the investigation of oxidative age hardening of polymer-modified bitumens (PMB) caused by accelerated aging in laboratory conditions. The PMB samples are prepared with different concentrations of styrene–butadiene-based co-polymers. Next, the PMB samples are aged using standard procedures that employ air blowing at 163 °C for 85 min followed by conditioning the samples at 100 °C and 2.1 MPa pressure for 20 to 48 hours. The resultant changes in their chemical composition are evaluated by portable attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectrometer. Measurements of ketone, sulfoxide, and hydroxyl content in PMB samples indicated similar oxidation pathways to those of non-modified bitumens. In addition, no evidence of polymer degradation due to accelerated aging of PMB was found in this study.

It's unclear, but sometimes people just like to have sex on aircraft. Usually in the toilet, which is not exactly the most romantic location on the planet (nor spacious on most airplanes), but is one of the few private places. The Other Wiki has an article on this.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

After the Metrodome's roof was successfully deflated Saturday, workers began demolishing parts of the lower part of the Dome this week, including a loading dock, the Vikings Lounge and the area near Gate B.
Yesterday, we spotted a few brave souls on the rim of the roof. But today, officials from the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority said work is continuing in frigid weather, but has slowed a bit.
If machine operators can work, they will be working from the safety of their heated rigs, the Authority said, noting some interior work is being done, weather permitting.

Manfrotto's New Advanced Bag Travel Backpack Complements Its BeFree Tripod
Manfrotto's New Advanced Bag Travel Backpack Complements Its BeFree Tripod
From Manfrotto:
Upper Saddle River, NJ – July 10, 2014
– Manfrotto, a manufacturer of premium photo and video accessories, unveiled a new travel backpack in its Advanced bag collection: the MB MA-BP-TRV BeFree backpack. Billed as the perfect travel companion to the Manfrotto BeFree tripod, this new backpack features a unique carrying slot in the extendable side-padded pocket that is designed to fit the BeFree and other compact travel tripods.
The interior of the backpack was created to provide durability, flexibility and ease of use for travel-minded photo enthusiasts to carry their photographic gear and personal belongings in one compact bag. As part of the Advanced bag collection, the travel backpack features hard-wearing fabrics and professional features.
The backpack employs the Manfrotto Camera Protection System (CPS), which is designed to provide protection at its most vulnerable spot—the center of the bag, where the lenses are stored. The CPS consists of specially structured 3D foam encasing dividers that reduce shock and absorb and dissipate the force of impact.
It also has a rugged, durable bottom half that's made of high-density nylon as well as nylon material on the top. It's carbon detailing ties it in with Manfrotto's Italian heritage.
The all-in-one carry solution is divided into two main compartments. The upper section is dedicated to personal belongings, while the bottom section has a quick side access. It can fit a DSLR with attached lens, two additional lenses, flash and accessories. Additionally, a 13-inch laptop can be stored in a back compartment. The bag can also be converted into an everyday backpack by removing the main compartment divider. And its extendable side-padded pocket makes it possible to add additional space to the bag by unzipping the pocket to insert a travel tripod.
Manfrotto's Advanced bag collection includes six basic bag designs, each in various sizes, including active backpacks, tri-backpacks, gear backpacks, active slings, shoulder bags and holsters. Manfrotto's new BeFree travel backpack is available now at Manfrotto Authorized Resellers.
B&H carries the new Manfrotto
Advanced Bag Travel Backpack
BeFree Tripods
Manfrotto is offering up to a $100.00 rebate if purchasing the backpack and tripod together - see

Several Benton and Saline County residents showed off their hunting skills for a television program, which aired all last week.
Randy West, of Benton, was contacted by Freddy King of Cherokee Sports last July and he wanted to know if he could film a duck hunting show.
ŌĆ£He pretty much wanted to tell the story of how passionate the sport can be,ŌĆØ West said. ŌĆ£He saw all my Facebook pictures of ducks and he came down and filmed us and interviewed me.ŌĆØ
The show also featured: Chad Taylor, Zach Esry, Brian Moore, Trevor West, Trey West, Tim Wacov, Chris Reynolds and Zach Davis.
The Bryant 14-Year-Old All Stars defeated Kenner, La., last yearŌĆÖs regional champs, to advance to the quarterfinals of the Southwest Regional Tournament in Lake Jackson, Texas. Bryant faced Harrison, Ark., Monday night and lost 9-2, which means Bryant finishes the tournament in fourth place. The Harrison All-Stars were crowned the Arkansas State Champs earlier this year.
Bryant lost to Harrison in the first game of the series and rallied to defeated Oak Grove 8-4 (winning pitcher Jacob Ward) and Kenner, La. (winning pitcher Devin Dupree.)
With August just around the corner, that means only one thing ŌĆö football season is a little more than a month away. With the first game scheduled for Sept. 2, it wonŌĆÖt be long now until Friday nights become the busiest night of my week.
While I love football and every pulse pounding hit that comes with it, the pressure of trying to maintain fair and balanced coverage is always a huge obstacle.
The Benton 12-year-olds defeated Blytheville 8-2 Monday night to win the 12-year-old Southwest Regional Championship and earn a trip to the Cal Ripken Major/60 World Series on August 12-19 in Visalia, Calif.
It is the third consecutive regional championship for Benton, which also won the Southwest title as 10 and 11-year-olds. Benton, who hosted the tournament for the first time, allowed just five runs over its four-game run through the tournament at Bernard Holland Park.
Blytheville came through the loserŌĆÖs bracket to make the championship game.
Siloam SpringsŌĆÖ leadoff batter worked his way around the diamond to score the gameŌĆÖs first run after an error allowed Daniel Kent to reach third. No other Siloam batter would reach as far as second base.
BentonŌĆÖs Kaleb Moody painted the outer half of the plate for four innings, including nine ground ball outs, to take the win 11-1.
Buddy Riggan and Jacob Cooper each hit solo home runs in the second to give Benton the lead. Seven more hits and three Siloam errors later led to nine more Benton runs.
This weekend, eight teams from both Texas and Arkansas will compete in the 12-year-old Cal Ripken Regional Tournament held at Bernard Holland Park in Benton.
Both the Bryant 12 year olds and Benton 12s will be participating in the tournament with Bryant scheduled to play at 2:30 p.m. Friday against Littlefield, Texas, and Benton to play Blytheville at 8 p.m.
Teams that qualified for the tournament are either state champions, such as Benton, which won the South Arkansas State Championship, or are runners-up or were invited to the tournament.
BRYANT ŌĆö The Bryant Black Sox gave their pitcher all the room he needed and then some Monday night when they opened the bottom of the first with a 8-run inning thanks to a two-run home run and seven other hits to take a 8-1 lead over Pine Bluff Simmons in the loserŌĆÖs bracket of the Zone 4 Senior Legion Tournament at Bryant High School.
Bryant would eventually defeat Pine Bluff 16-8 to secure a spot in the state tournament, which will be held in Jonesboro next week.
In a back-and-forth battle with Pine Bluff Simmons Saturday night, McClendonŌĆÖs Appliance fought hard but eventually lost 9-8 despite taking the game to the wire.
McClendonŌĆÖs had lost 16-1 to Hope Friday in the Zone 4 Legion Tournament and came home after SaturdayŌĆÖs loss to Pine Bluff, which remains in the tournament along with Bryant and Texarkana.
Bryant and Pine Bluff square off at 5 p.m. today after Bryant lost to Texarkana 10-8 Sunday and Pine Bluff beat Hope 16-15 Sunday. The winner will face Texarkana at 8 p.m. today.
BRYANT ŌĆö The Bryant Black Sox American Legion baseball team used a barrage of hits and a couple of errors in the fifth inning to score five runs as they eventually defeated Hope 11-3 Saturday during the Zone 4 Senior Legion Tournament at Bryant High School.
Trailing 3-1 in the fifth, the Sox received back-to-back singles from Tyler Brown and Jordan Taylor. TaylorŌĆÖs hit was good enough to move Brown to third and he later scored on a sacrifice fly by designated hitter Landon Pickett.
Coming off its win over Jacksonville on Tuesday, the Benton McClendonŌĆÖs Appliance Senior Legion baseball team is confident about their chances in the Zone 4 Tournament, which begins today at Bryant High School.
ŌĆ£I think we are going to compete,ŌĆØ manager Russell Goodwin said. ŌĆ£There are some very good teams, such as Bryant, Texarkana, and Pine Bluff, but we are playing pretty good baseball right now.
ŌĆ£We got some kids with a lot of enthusiasm and we ended up about .500 overall. This is a tough zone. Usually, whoever wins the Zone 4 wins the state title.ŌĆØ

Borderlands 2 getting online split-screen co-op
Once upon a time, split-screen co-op was the best we could hope for, but nowadays it feels like a rare treat. Gearbox is in the giving mood, confirming that Borderlands 2 will have the fabled cooperative feature, and that two players on the same TV can go online!
"The only situation you can not do is split-screen plus split-screen because you need a host," said Gearbox's Steve Gibson. "And a split-screen guy uses a lot of CPU, so he can not be the host."
Borderlands 2 will also improve the user interface for split-screen players, meaning you can upgrade characters without having to excessively scroll through information. Couch friends, unite!

Open letter to Ron Paul and his followers!Submitted by The Pen on Wed, 05/15/2013 - 13:39
Dr. Ron Paul,
I am writing this letter that it may serve as a proposition and petition to the people of this Nation, further that you may endorse or support such a proposition and petition. This proposition is not for the benefit of money, admiration, exaltation, the gains of power, or syndication for any affluence of notoriety it may bring. This is a proposition that will allow you the privilege of serving those who still believe they cast a counted and fair vote, who believed they could bring an ease of change through our current president's mired rhetoric and who may still hold some thread of hope that you will redirect the initiatives that can bring about the sustainability, compassion, liberty, justice, creativity, imagination and tolerance of and for this Nation.
This letter is drawn by inspiration and the demand of the people in their ever-awakening state around the globe to realize the setting free of information, so that we might advance not just technologically, but emotionally, spiritually and Constitutionally; to see the light of Independence above the gathering veil of Federal-Dependency, Federal-Collusion, therefore unveiling the truth about the United States Government-Corporation of the District of Columbia; to put at rest the agenda of Fear and allow the innate intuitions of Love, Compassion and Integrity to flourish freely and wholly; to stand against the defeatist policies that have wrought the resources of this Earth through War, Trade, Geneticism, Biotechnology and Vanity, upheld by a brazen disregard for the Constitutionalism upon which THIS nation was founded.
This is a letter forged with concern for the simple reason that many of us no longer trust our government or the governmental institutions it implies: the very government that has claimed to secure and uphold the inalienable rights of the people it serves, with no foundation to source this claim, while using the citizens of this nation as surety in commerce without their consent and true understanding that they have been defrauded by their corporate-entity ALL CAPITAL LETTERS NAME, created by the institutions of government at their birth. We the people, of this Nation, will not be silenced in our pursuit of Happiness, Liberty, Truth and Life. We shall not withhold the grievances that be voiced by these words! Above all else, I write this letter for my family, my wife and my children. They afford me the privilege and gift to pursue a future where we have as a unified people allowed ourselves to understand our true purpose: we are not here to deceive one another, violate one another or hinder each other's right to life, health, choice, development, education, experience or voice. Our children are the examples of who we can become, their innocence and curiosity and pliability of mind the examples of who we truly are and deeply aspire to reclaim. The cycle of conflict, ignorance, apartness, duality, limitation and boundary are self-preserving if there is no remedy allowed us to abate them.
We the people are wary of Government hypocrisy and authoritarianism. We the people are being forced to stay this wariness in our apportionment of ideas, that increasingly seek to end the tyranny we have been subjected to. We the people are more steadfast than ever that we can bring to fruition the corruptions and deceptions too long compounded by passive, incompetent, negligent usurpers of Constitutional Law in every stead and political office. We are under increasing surveillance, justified by and complicit to fear. We are bombarded with toxins/poisons through our foods, waters and air, at the direct behest of multinational corporations who advance their genetically modified agenda by government collusion. We have become complacent to the indecencies and lies that have shuffled us into undeclared, unjustified wars, and that even in knowing these indecencies and lies to be valid, we are coerced to remain wary not to upset the system that keeps us bound and susceptible to the very continuance of them.
The fact that the greatest attack on American soil has been continuously concealed despite and enormity of scrutiny based on physics, mathematics, forensics and witness testimony can be no more obvious of blatant deception and some underlying purpose for the ongoing agenda to keep the event under secrecy, far removed from public obtainment. There is a great flaw within the policies presided over us, whether deliberate or incompetent in nature. I was raised to believe in the goodness and genuineness of people and that with enough persistence and hope and love, anything, any change is possible. At this point in time we have started to realize our cage, rather the prison that our minds occupy, and in our growing sensitivity to it we are restless and appalled to find it so. This nation is not a Democracy, or even a Constitutional Republic…it is a Communist/Fascist Dictatorship controlled by elite interests, foreign and domestic, who seek to control through manipulation, favor through incomplete and partial truths, own by modifying the genetics of our life-code, bewilder through mass-media distraction and confine through threats of terror, thickening that confinement by the dilution of the privacies and liberties we have by an imposition of expansive security.
How do we disconnect from the propaganda when those we entrust to represent us and speak for us falter and reveal their representation and voice in favor of the powers that give rise to the expansion of that which continues to falter us? The people of this nation have been deceived, misinformed and set aside for an agenda that has for years strengthened from deception, misinformation and the setting aside of its people, carrying every symptom of its infection within the true industry we uphold today…the Industry of Money.
This is not a proposition or petition against the industry of money. This is a petition against the current utilization of the money within that industry; against the conception afforded to the people as to what money represents and what it is truly backed by. This is a proposition/petition that has been written for a fairer nation, a compassionate nation, an awakened nation and nation that has been led to believe we are separate, unconnected, unable to take responsibility for our own lives, inept, against him, against her, against someone and they against us, dispassionate, hated and despised for our deepening illusion of freedom, opposed and far from reconciliation, between each other…between other nations.
This True Industry settles little by truth and avails itself nothing of industrious. It has brought about Free-Trade and a crippling Free-Trade deficit. It has furthered the segregation of the people by class, social status and material possession. It has burned and sold the ashes of an untold history of this nation to an Establishment that has kept it untaught, replacing it with an incomplete history that is. It has vehemently driven a debt that our children will face, without a fathom of understanding as to how, for no Instrument of Debt can repay a debt and being that all debt is public, their children will in procession receive the burden that their parents were complicit to.
It is our global divide. It is the ingredient of extortion, murder and deceit, applying itself to every industry from Agriculture to Pharmacy. It has been altered and counterfeited countless time over by those who lord over it, as to indemnify it from the woes it and they had prior caused. It has been pivotal to the abuse and rape of our natural resources, the genetic modification of everything from bacteria to soy, the patenting of life through genetic engineering and the transition of the medical industry into an industry of drug-induction. It affords no defeat but that unto itself. It has been taxed ten-Thousand fold through its transfer of ownership, so that literally all fiat paper currency is reduced and solely a commodity of taxation encumbered with debts impossible to pay or legitimately owe. I am bewildered by its will and frightened by its power. It lobbies in secrecy and in secrecy creates and invites lobby. It keeps no soul or conscious, yet influences the decisions of our very soul and consciousness, whether collectively through foreign aid or individually through consumerism. It has made devils of men and men of devils. It has singularly subjected all of humankind, by its incredible and perpetual fraud of taxation without representation and devaluation by means counterfeit. It has subjected humankind to a slavery by wage, whereby what we have hoped to secure our families and futures by, has otherwise become value-deplete by deliberate and reckless usury of governmental bodies, simultaneously applying its stolen volume to the militaristic ruining of nations and sovereignties and those living within them, in the name of some liberating, altruistic principle supported by a god that is enforced by Its collectivist-associative inscription upon it.
I am a native Citizen of this country, as are my wife and children. I commend you for your adamancy in upholding the Constitution that has been pummeled and deranged by legislation since its inception. There is an immense number of us who are becoming the very change we wish to see in this world. The upheaval of the Middle East is evident of a great shift in the consciousness of people, demanding the rid of corruption and the longevity of abusive and subjective political seats and titles. I have no greater concern for the future of this nation than now, for it is by the birth of my children that I've been moved to write and submit and speak out against the policies and actors that are endangering their rights to future prosperity, liberty and life, not least of all their inalienable right to pursue happiness how they see fit.
The only changes we have control over are the changes we envision in ourselves, and from those changes we envision in ourselves bring them into scope by action, cooperative and persistent. I hope this proposition/petition inspires you as your words have inspired me, for we need someone who will continue to speak for preservation on all fronts, whether it's organic crops or the abolishment of the IRS and Federal Reserve Banks, as they move to completely devalue the dollar/petro-dollar and plot further theft of the labors of the people of this nation. We need someone to speak about the continual contamination of staple crops by multinational corporations through genetic modification of everything from soy to sugarbeets, canola to corn. We need someone who will speak about the real issues facing this nation, rather the people of this world. We need someone who will speak of those issues directly, firmly and without reservation or fear of the bureaucratic, elite-corporate-owned government of the United States.
The opportunity and hope is at hand for great change in this world and within the invisible borders of this country and I seek to merely present a case as a concerned parent and American Citizen. Peace be with you and yours and with the utmost respect I commend you and you dedication to upholding you oath of office for so long.
Genuinely and wholeheartedly,

Not a big fan of "War", surely...
..but otherwise I'm good with the concept of wringing "the resources of this Earth through ... Trade." Also, as a living organism who has been historically condemned to die at around age thirty-five of malnutrition or other trauma, I'm also big of the life and leisure extending benefits of "Biotechnology" (dentistry, agriculture, botony, oncology...). As for "Vanity", that's pretty much a neutral issue. Like self-love, or self-awareness, vanity is neither good nor bad. A healthy life probably needs a measure of self-regard, and a pathological narcissist likely has an inflated sense of entitlement and grandiosity. The final mystery in your missive is "Geneticism". I don't even know what that is supposed to mean. If it's supposed to be a branch of biotech, then it is also a neutral concept like "hammer" or "gun." The moral problems arise with the application, not the instrument itself.
Thanks for the engaging puzzle.
