» All About Duke Nukem Forever on ActionTrip |
Now, I'll bet you thought this day would never come. Well, it has. After what seems like eternity Duke Nukem Forever is at long last here and it's all thanks to the efforts of the folks at Gearbox Software, who we all know for titles like Halo: Combat Evolved (PC/Mac), Borderlands, Duke Nukem: Forever and more. You have to hand it to them. These guys have balls. They marched headfirst into the unknown, bravely assuming responsibility for what's probably the most delayed and possibly the most risky project in the history of gaming. We were eager to see the results of their work (well, fair enough, slightly less eager than we were about ten years ago).
I'm sure that by now you all know that 'simplicity' is the name of game here. The story is about aliens coming back to Earth with vengeance on their minds. Yes, they seek retribution after Duke kicked their asses a while back. This time around, Duke is even pissed off at these alien suckers more than ever before and he has a legitimate reason for that. Returning to Earth and causing havoc is one thing, but kidnapping all of the planet's hottest chicks is taking things too far. Duke's determined to make them pay for that.
He must spend ages counting those teeth. |
So many Dukes in one place... What to do? |
That's the storyline in Duke Nukem Forever and that's pretty much what we initially expected it to be. Duke has always been about in-your-face violence and sheer vulgarity, so that's another predictable aspect. In the grand scheme of things, I suppose a lot of things about Duke Nukem Forever are predictable. After all, the long-drawn-out development cycle certainly doesn't mean they tweaked the game to perfection. Quite the opposite, as it turns out. They probably had a very tight schedule and had to launch as quickly as possible. Again, the developers have no doubt been under pressure about this from day one and they should be praised for salvaging the game from certain doom. They've successfully eliminated DNF's eternal vaporware stigma. While I'm sure many will be eternally grateful to Gearbox for bringing the franchise out of the gutter, I think gamers should seriously think whether or not they actually want to spend money on it.
DNF plunges players straight into a classic FPS atmosphere, with a relatively standard choice of powerful weapons, all of which allow Duke to cause mayhem, sending the rotten aliens back to wherever the hell they came from. You'll be able to wield everything from pistols and snipers, to RPGs, shotguns and more. The really cool additions are the Freeze Ray and Shrink Ray, both with their devastating effects. Pipebombs and Proximity Mines were also thrown into the mix so Duke can blow enemies to bits even more so. The Freeze Ray allows you to freeze enemies and then crunch them to bits just for the fun of it, while the Shrink Ray gives you a chance to blast your opponents straight into hours and hours of deep psychotherapy. Only joking, of course. The weapon shrinks foes until they are about the size of a toad, which makes them drastically easier to pulverize. It's a fun little moment that brings a bit of a smile to one's face, especially when you start blowing up swarms of screeching undersized aliens. That's not all. Duke also gets smaller himself in order to make his way through difficult situations. This part of the game transports Duke into an Alice-in-Wonderland type of setting (except in a modern-day world, of course), where he's forced to figure out the quickest and least dangerous way to his goal. This often proves to be quite challenge due to various giant obstacles that get in the way of freedom... or chicks.
Yeah, provocative dames can be found around every corner in this game. In fact, the way most of them behave is a downright insult to women everywhere. Okay, so all you feminists don't get your knickers in a twist just yet. Duke Nuke Forever exaggerates in just about every aspect possible, drawing players into a ridiculously unrealistic world of senseless violence and non-stop action. In other words, just because every female in the game is presented as an immoral tool for pleasure with a brain the size of a peanut, doesn't necessarily the developers disrespect women. For that matter, gamers aren't meant to disrespect women. They are just meant to have fun (well, male gamers obviously). Trouble is, the overly burly, macho-oriented self-obsessed muscle-head hero archetype lost its appeal about 15 years back, so the character's shallow image may not attract players, even once they leave their brain functions on the shelf. Some games are just meant for fun and relaxation. However, DNF tends to take things overboard in almost every way conceivable and again, this is entertaining for about a few minutes and then it gets old and just plain stupid. In short, the developers may have missed the target with the humor and characterization in this game. It's unlikely to appeal to even the youngest members of their audience.
4.0 Tolerable
If you're drowning in a murky puddle of FPS nostalgia, Duke Nukem Forever might keep you interested for a few hours;
Games have gone beyond what's on offer here, the humor and gameplay belong in another time.

It has currently been understood that monitoring diabetic patients only with metabolic variables is insufficient, and thus, quality of life assessments have been initiated. The aim of the present study was to compare the quality of life scored between diabetic and healthy children and to investigate the factors affecting the quality of life in diabetic patients.
Sixty-one patients aged between 7-16 years who were followed-up with diagnosis of type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology of Gazi University School of Medicine and 57 age matched healthy volunteers were enrolled. Patient and control groups were evaluated in terms of quality of life, depressive mood, and accompanying behavioral problems. The assessment of children was performed using Conners' parent and teacher rating scales, Children Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, and Short Form-36 for quality of life, Kid–KINDL questionnaire, Kiddo–KINDL questionnaire, and KINDL questionnaire. Clinical and laboratory characteristics of the diabetic patients were retrieved from their patient files.
Short Form-36 general health, vitality, and mental health subdimension scores of type 1 diabetic children were lower than those in the controls (p<0.05). However, no significant difference was noted between the groups in terms of Kid-KINDL, Kiddo-KINDL and parent-reported KINDL scores. Moreover, there was also no significant difference between patients and controls in terms of anxiety, depressive mood, Conners' parent and teacher rating scale scores. Gender, HbA1c level, disease duration, and insulin treatment model did not affect the quality of life of diabetic patients.
Quality of life assessment provides valuable information regarding the effect of diabetes mellitus on quality of life. Thus, specific management programs aiming to develop functional abilities, and well-being and general health perception of the patients can be selected, patient compliance can be improved and negative effects of disease on quality of life can be reduced.
Quality of life; Children; Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
There has been a progressive increase in the goal of management of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), one of the most common chronic disorders of childhood. While the purpose was merely maintaining survival in 1920s, achieving physiological insulin release has become the main objective in 1990s. Close cooperation with a health professional has become essential by the introduction of regular multiple-dose insulin injection therapy, frequent blood glucose measurement, and carefully planned exercise and nutritional programs. These treatment protocols provide a positive impact on the child's short- and long-term health status, quality of life and well-being [
The definition of the quality of life is made as 'the way of perceiving his/her own position in the system of culture and values' by the World Health Organization [
]. Health-related quality of life indicates the extent to which a disease or medical condition impacts upon the daily physical, emotional, mental and contextual well-being of an individual. In other words, it reflects the subjective perception of health [
]. This concept is therefore increasingly considered as a relevant 'patient reported outcome' [
]. Health-related quality of life measures can offer to evaluate different aspects of well-being and functioning. In recent years, health-related quality of life has become a relevant treatment outcome from epidemiological and clinical perspectives. Moreover, it is broadly employed in health economic analyses [
It is widely assumed that DM can result in psychological, social and physical problems. The children with DM experience chronic psychosocial stress [
] and have higher rates of behavioral difficulties and lower social competency compared with healthy children [
], Therefore, it is important to improve the quality of life and well-being in order to prevent secondary morbidities and achieve good metabolic control during the management of diabetes [
]. Quality of life is considered to be a significant indicator of disease prognosis [
]. The aim of the present study was to compare the quality of life between type 1 diabetic and healthy children and to investigate the factors affecting the quality of life in diabetic patients.
Materials and Methods
In the present cross-sectional study, 61 patients (28 boys, 33 girls) aged between 7-16 years and followed-up with diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology of Gazi University School of Medicine and 57 age-matched healthy volunteers were enrolled. Patients who had been followed-up for at least 6 months, who did not have any other concomitant chronic disease, and who had normal intelligence were included. During the routine follow-up visits, a sociodemographic data form was administered to both parents and children by face-to-face interview technique after providing instructions in the diabetes education room. The parents were asked to hand the teacher assessment forms to the teachers of their children in a closed envelope. Metabolic status of the patients was assessed by HbA1
level measurement in the mean of the past year. Those with HbA1
level <7.5% were grouped as good metabolic control, those between 7.5-9% as moderate, and those >9% as poor metabolic control [
Fifty-seven healthy volunteers between 7-16 years of age with no active complaints or chronic diseases (27 boys, 30 girls) were included as the control group. Questionnaires were also administered to the control group by face-to-face interview technique.
The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of Gazi University School of Medicine. The forms and questionnaires used in the study are described below.
Short form-36
Short Form-36 (SF-36) is a generic quality of life assessment tool developed in 1992. It has increasingly been used in clinical studies to evaluate current health status during treatment and to determine the outcome of medical treatment [
]. The scale consists of 36 items, which provide assessment of 8 subdimensions including physical functioning (10 items), social functioning (2 items), role limitations due to physical problems (5 items), role limitations due to emotional problems (3 items), mental health (5 items), vitality (4 items), bodily pain (2 items), and general health perception (5 items) [
]. All but one of the 36 items (self-reported health transition) are used to score the eight SF-36 scales. The validity and reliability of SF-36 Turkish version was performed by Koçyiğit et al. [
Kid-KINDL and Kiddo-KINDL questionnaires
KINDL was developed by Bullinger in order to assess the health related quality of life in children and adolescents. It was revised and reconstructed by Ravens-Sieberer and Bullinger in 1998 [
Kid-KINDL is a generic measure of health related quality of life in children and Kiddo-KINDL is a generic measure health related quality of life in adolescents. Quality of life assessment includes physical, mental, and social life without being associated with any specific disorders. Kid-KINDL and Kiddo-KINDL consist of seven domains including physical well-being, emotional well-being, self-esteem, family, friends, functioning in school and disease domains. Higher scores reflect better quality of life.
Conners' Teacher Rating Scale
Conners' Teacher Rating Scale (CTRS) was developed by Conners to assess the students' classroom behavior [
]. Its initial Turkish adaptation was a 39-item form. Then, normative data of CTRS Turkish translation consisting of 28 items were obtained and its construct validity and internal consistency were performed [
Conners' Parent Rating Scale
The Turkish adaptation of Conners' Parent Rating Scale (CPRS) consisting of 48 items each graded by a 4-point Likert type scale was performed by Sener et al. [
] Attention deficit (5 items), hyperactivity (4 items), oppositional defiant disorder (5 items), and conduct disorder (11 items) were measured using this scale.
Children's Depression Inventory
Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), which was introduced by Kovacs in 1985, is the most commonly used self-assessment instruments in childhood depression, with psychometric characteristics that have been investigated the most [
]. It has been constructed considering that "there is an observable and measurable childhood depression similar to that observed in adults". Its Turkish validation study was performed by Öy et al. in 1991 [
The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) for Children was developed by Spielberger in 1983, in to measure individual differences in anxiety proneness [
]. It is a self-reported questionnaire with two subdimensions including 20 items of state anxiety and 20 items of trait anxiety [
]. It is often used in individuals between 7 and 18 years of age. Its Turkish version validity and reliability study was performed by Özusta et al. [
Statistical Analysis
Data analysis was performed using Statistics Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) version 11.5. Normality of distribution of continuous variables was assessed by Shapiro Wilk test. Results of descriptive statistics were presented as mean ± standard deviation or median (minimum-maximum) for parametric variables and as number and percentage for categorical variables.
Comparison of two independent groups was performed by Student's t test or Mann Whitney U test and comparison of more than two independent groups was performed by Kruskal Wallis one-way analysis of variance. When a significant difference was noted between the groups by Kruskal Wallis test, Kruskal Wallis multiple comparison test was used in order to determine the group or groups which caused the difference.
Comparison of categorical variables was performed using chi square or Fisher's exact test. The linear regression analysis of the measured variables was assessed by Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis. Bonferroni correction was used for all potential intragroup comparisons.
The effects of variables on the change in the dependent variables (SF- 36, kid-KINDL, kiddo-KINDL, and KINDL (parent) subdimensions) assessed by univariate analysis were evaluated by multiple linear regression analysis. P value of <0.05 was considered significant.
Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the study population are presented in (
Table 1
Table 2
). Among 61 diabetic patients, 87% (n=53) were using multiple dose insulin injection therapy and 13% (n=8) were using insulin pump. HbA1
level in diabetic patients was less than 7.5% in 35 patients, between 7.5–9% in 16 patients, and over 9% in the remaining 10 patients. There was a significant correlation between HbA1
level and age and disease duration (p<0.05). HbA1
level was significantly higher in girls compared to boys (p<0.05). However, there was no significant correlation between the treatment model and HbA1
level (p>0.05).
Table 1:
Sociodemographic characteristics of the study groups.
Table 2:
Clinical characteristics in the study groups.
Among the SF-36 subdimensions, general health, vitality and mental health scores of the patient group was found to be significantly lower compared to those in the control group [p<0.05; (
Table 3
). There was no significant difference between the study groups in terms of KINDL and KINDL (parent) quality of life scores (p>0.05). There was also no gender-related difference in the quality of life scores between the study groups (p>0.05). Moreover, no significant correlation between disease duration and quality of life scores was obtained (p>0.05).
Table 3:
Results of SF-36 subdimensions in the study groups.
There was no significant difference between treatment models (multiple dose or insulin pump) in terms of SF-36 and KINDL (child and parent) subscores (p>0.05). In multiple dose insulin injection therapy group, a significant negative correlation was found between the number of insulin injections and KINDL school functioning subscore (p<0.05). Moreover, no significant difference was found between the diabetic patients with good, moderate and poor metabolic control in terms of quality of life.
When the patients and controls were compared in terms of depression scores, state anxiety scores, trait anxiety scores, teacher assessment scores (hyperactivity, attention deficit, conduct disorder), family assessment scores (attention deficit, hyperactivity, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder), no significant differences were noted (p>0.05). Increases in HbA1
level and disease duration did not affect the scores of depression, state anxiety, trait anxiety, teacher and parent assessments. When the relationships of multiple dose injection or insulin pump therapy with depression, state anxiety, trait anxiety, teacher and parent assessment scores were evaluated, it was found that family (oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder) scores of patients receiving multiple dose insulin injection therapy were significantly higher than those using insulin pump (p<0.05).
In the present study, the quality of life scores were compared between type 1 diabetic and healthy children and the factors affecting the quality of life in diabetic children were investigated. Accordingly, the SF-36 general health, vitality and mental health subdimension scores were found to be significantly lower in diabetic children compared to those in the controls and metabolic control and duration of diabetes were found to be not effective on quality of life scores.
Treatment goals in diabetes include achieving normal blood glucose and HbA1
level, reducing the risk of severe hypoglycemia, improving quality of life, and preventing complications [
]. In the present study, the diabetic patients had lower SF-36 quality of life scores compared to controls; particularly, SF-36 general health, vitality, and mental health subdimension scores were found to be lower. Wee et al. [
] reported that KINDL scores of diabetic patients were significantly higher than those without diabetes and they concluded that providing good medical care might have reduced the effects of disease on health related quality of life. In the present study, no significant difference was noted between diabetics and controls in terms of KINDL child and KINDL parent scores. Moreover, Laffel et al. [
] also established no significant difference between quality of life scores of diabetic and healthy children. On the other hand, in another study, quality of life scores of 128 diabetic children between 5-18 years of age were found to be worse in all subdimensions compared to those in healthy children and as well as diabetic children were noted to exhibit poor psychosocial functioning and have poor family relationship [
]. However, we observed that physical health, mental health, family and friends assessment subscores were significantly higher in diabetic children than those in the healthy children. Moreover, no significant difference was noted between the diabetic and control groups in terms of anxiety proneness, depressive mood, and teacher and parent assessment scores.
Kylie et al. (227) investigated the effects of metabolic control in diabetic patients and found that reduction in HbA1
level increased quality of life [
]. In that particular study, an association between poor metabolic control and poor psychosocial functioning was demonstrated. Lawson et al. [
] reported that psychosocial wellbeing was significantly worse in diabetic children with HbA1
levels >8.8% compared to those with HbA1
level <8.8%, but they noted no significant difference in terms of physical well-being. In the present study, no significant difference was present in the quality of life scores of diabetic children according to metabolic control levels. This might be due to the low number of patients with poor metabolic control. For the diabetic children, 83.6% had good or moderate metabolic control.
The effects of increasing HbA1
level on depression, state anxiety, trait anxiety, teacher and parent assessment scores revealed similar results with the above-mentioned quality of life results. Increase in HbA1
level did not lead to a significant change in these scores. The changes in the HbA1
levels, which is the most reliable and appropriate tool to assess metabolic control, did not cause any differences in quality of life, depressive mood, anxiety, and family and teacher assessment scores of diabetic children. However, it might be expected that quality of life may be affected in the long term as a result of chronic complications associated with high HbA1
levels. Vanelli et al. [
] reported that depressive mood led to poor glycemic control and recommended that children with type 1 DM, especially those with poor glycemic control, should have been routinely monitored in terms of depressive mood. In another study, where they used the same anxiety and depression scale in our study with Vanelli et al. [
], no significant relationship was observed between glycemic control, and anxiety and social support [
]. Similarly, in the present study, no significant difference was found between diabetic patients and controls in terms of anxiety and social support. Hanestad et al. [
] demonstrated that there was no correlation between HbA1
level and quality of life; however, patients with poor metabolic control were less satisfied with physical and behavioral moments of life [
In a study investigating the effects of insulin therapy models on quality of life, adolescents treated by insulin pump were noted to cope better with diabetes compared to those using multiple dose insulin injection therapy [
]. However, Weintrob et al. [
] reported no significant difference between the two treatment models in terms of HbA1
level, frequency of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, and quality of life, but noted that treatment satisfaction was greater in the group receiving insulin pump compared to those receiving multiple dose insulin injection [
]. In the present study, we did not find such a difference. This might be due to the fact that number of patients using pump was small in our study. Thus, further studies to be conducted in larger samples are needed.
In conclusion, quality of life assessment provides valuable information about the effect of diabetes on quality of life. Thus, specific management programs aiming to develop functional abilities, and well-being and general health perception of the patients can be selected, patient compliance can be improved and the negative effects of disease on quality of life can be reduced. Therefore, it is extremely important that management teams treating diabetic patients should integrate quality of life assessment in their practice as the main goals of diabetes management include learning to live with diabetes, interventions that teach families strategies for decreasing conflict, decreasing psychologically controlling interactions, embracing it as a life style and improving quality of life.

Has been playing 7 Days to Die PC
Posted 18 August 2012 - 12:06 AM
Hello Steam people. I'm about to build a new mid-high range rig (i5 3470, 7870) and I'm brand-new to Steam. I haven't played PC games in ten years. And I have a few questions!
1) I've been building a small, cheap PC library (so far Morrowind and Binding of Isaac from Steam, the four THQ Gold packs that were on sale today, Disciples II from GMG, and the old Bioware set from GameStop). So it's a bunch of old games to play on my fancy new machine. What I'd like is a recommendation for something that will make my eyes bleed in happiness, preferably something that supports gamepads. Any ideas?
2) I have a large console backlog which I'd like to convert into a PC backlog where I can. Are there any particular games that are much better on PC or, conversely, much worse? I've been looking for a site similar to Lens of Truth that makes the comparisons but I can't find anything. I know GTA IV is a PC pig and that Dragon Age and Skyrim are much better on PC. Anything else to know? Anything so much better on PC that I should replay it even if I've played the console version? I've heard the Fallouts are much better but I've played those to death. And specifically how do Arkham City and the Mass Effects compare on PC?
3) Apparently since I bought Supreme Commander from THQ I have two keys. What can I do with the extra one? Can I give it away? Can I trade it? I don't know how this works.
Thanks for the help! I'll be joining the Steam CAG group ASAP.
Crap, I knew I forgot something.
1. Besides the newest AAA titles, I think PC gamers still like to use Crysis 1 and Metro 2033 to benchmark their shiny new rigs. I don't stay current with that bleeding edge so I can't offer much more than that sorry. Don't forget that quite a few games, even older ones, have mods to improve graphics, so Google those.
2. Not being a console gamer, can't help much here. Hadn't heard of Lens of Truth before but it looks interesting; a lot of PC gamers use Tom's Hardware for reviews but I'm not sure if they do game comparisons as well.
3. I've seen several copies of SC up on Steamgifts. That's one route, or you could sell or trade it.
Sorry there hasn't been much of a response to you from the community here. Like Genocidal said, there's a lot more discussion on the "Deals" thread, but these days it's a lot more off-topic than it used to be. Still, there's some useful info to be found.

Also, cool that Dejobaan will lend the $100 to a starving dev in need to get on GL:Granted, the presences of, say, Rogue Warrior, FlatOut 3, and Bad Rats on Steam proper lend credence to the idea that even Valve's selection process is far from perfect.

I like the idea of it, cuts the list down to a more manageable size and eliminates at least some of the stinkers.
Also, that's pretty nice of Dejobaan to do that. An indie dev helping other indie devs, it just makes me feel all warm inside.

I'm still getting used to Steam, but does it track your achievements much like the Xbox 360 or PS3 do? Is there a way to view a score or total of all my achievements like you can on consoles?
Yes. Click profile and/or view achievements. Remember achievements/badges started on the PC so the tracking is not even a problem. Enjoy.

Steam itself doesn't give you a total achievement score, as I believe it does on Live with the Gamerscore, but there are several independent websites that track cumulative achievements.
I've used:
And then there's Raptr, and GiantBomb which kinda track them.

In an interview with Kotaku, Valve boss Gabe Newell confirmed the company's plans for its own gaming console. While the console itself will virtually be a PC, the 'Steam Box' will be specially designed for the living room. This can easily be done with the Big Picture mode for Steam, which was launched earlier this month. Newell revealed that the console would be going head to head with next-gen gaming consoles.
Seems redundant.

I got Company of Heroes in some deal, that included two expansions, Opposing Forces, and Tales of Valor.
When I use the backup tool, should I do all three together? All three separately? When I back up just Company of Heroes it seems to also include one of the two expansions, so maybe I back up those two, and then the other one separately?
In the past I've discovered Steam's backup tool doesn't restore right at all if you back up more than one game at a time, and sometimes even still it'll sit there and download part of the game even though it's supposedly all on disc, so just wondered what the correct procedure was for games with expansions.

I Love To Love
Baker, Hayton
I love to love
Wnat plenty of love each night
Say I love to love it's so good it can't be right
I don't want a man with Harvard of Yale degrees
Because I don't intend to play information please
Just squeeze me or baby you gonna freeze me
You've got to Romeo me make feel like I'm Salomè
Don't want a man to sit there and talk too much
I just need a guy with a Frank Sinatra touch
Cos I'm tired of all the times I felt
Like a piece of butter about to melt
I wanna press your lips against mine
I wanna feel lightning tickle my spine
I want what there can never to be too much of
Yes I love to love
Just squeeze me or baby you gonna freeze me
When the iron is hot strike it
Hold me I like it I like it
Don't want a man to sit there and talk too much
I just need me a guy with a Frank Sinatra touch
Just build me an earthquake as fast as you can
I got me a hobby and my hobby is men
He's what I intend to build my collection of
Because I love to love

'Celebration' too strong a word on death penalty
Opinion: Letters To The Editor
There can be little or no doubt that the death penalty has never proven to be a deterrent to the commission of crime [Locals celebrate the end of the death penalty, News, March 16]. The further facts that shoddy convictions, poor legal representation and the socioeconomics of many of the people on death row have made its implementation problematic at best. That said, the sense of celebration over the decision to repeal its use is inappropriate. Thoughtful reflection would be the better attitude.
One needs only to read the sidebar article on page 16 of the Journal to appreciate why this attitude should be the norm. Having been a resident in the neighborhood where Catherine McAvinchey lived and was murdered, the brutality of the crime and the sense of fear it put into my fellow neighbors is still palpable. The execution of the confessed and convicted murderer, Rodney Adkins, would not bring Ms. McAvinchey back to life, nor probably bring much, if any, joy to her surviving family members. But to have such a sense of public rejoicing that the execution will not occur is an insult to their loss and the life that was interrupted.
It will be argued that Mr. Adkins will spend the rest of his life in prison with no possibility of parole. Given that the "no possibility of parole" remains in place, Mr. Adkins will at least be alive. He will have access to food, clean clothing and universal health care. Ms. McAvinchey will remain dead. These cold facts deserve muted joy.
At least we now know the value of a human life in the state of Illinois. It is the roughly $320 Mr. Adkins received by selling the property he stole from Ms. McAvinchey's condominium. Revenue he is purported to have used to purchase drugs, alcohol and lottery tickets. Furthermore, the Illinois Department of Corrections reports an annual cost of $23,000 per inmate. Should Mr. Adkins live to the biblical three score and ten, he will cost the people of Illinois $506,000. Are these not scarce resources that could be spent on more productive activities whose outcomes could be unmitigated celebration?
Thoughtful reflection is required.

John Gacy should have been spared to paint another day in prison. none of the death row inmates pleaded innocence. they all pleaded procedural violations. Gov. Dim spoke only to 2 of the victims families. Gov. Dim did not look into each death row case Gov. Dim did not take time to read Sen. Kirk Dillards exhaustive report on the death penalty. Safe guards to the death penalty have been ignored. Bill Knunkle, who prosecuted Gacy is quoted, "The most aweful sentence for the most awful offenders"
Posted: March 24th, 2011 10:16 AM
I wanted to add a paraphrase of your statement, "There can be little or no doubt that 'life without possibility of parole' has never proven to be a deterrent to the commission of crime." When the celebrants offer that kind of logic, it appears as trying to bolster a weak argument. I'm all for revising sentencing and punishments - if better alternatives are proposed. Life without possibility of parole does not fit the severity of crimes such as this.
Posted: March 24th, 2011 6:33 AM
The celebration seemed inappropriate to me as well. My biggest problem with the people trying to abolish the idea of capital punishment, is their lack of any appropriate alternatives. Life in prison unfortunately doesn't suffice as punishment in cases where especially brutal crimes have been committed. And as you pointed out, we have to spend $506,000 to keep 'an eye on him' and provide health care that not even every law-abiding citizen has.

Leap Wireless International Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
On the call today to discuss our second quarter results are Doug Hutcheson, Leap's President and Chief Executive Officer; and Jerry Elliott, Leap's Chief Financial Officer. Following our prepared remarks, the call operator will come back on the line for the Q&A portion of the call, and then Doug will return for a few closing remarks.
I'd now like to turn the call over to Doug.
Stewart Douglas Hutcheson
Welcome, and thank you for joining us today. Over the past several months, Leap has been planning and implementing a transition in our business that we believe is fundamentally necessary and will significantly advance our strategy, strengthen our competitiveness and improve our financial performance. This transition is based upon 2 elements: First, over the second half of this year, we will introduce a number of new products, plans and services, and we'll make changes to improve customer experience. Second, we have been looking and continue to look at all options to drive free cash flow, improve margins and optimize the value of our lower performing assets. To some extent, second quarter's results reflect and we expect third quarter results will reflect that we're already in the middle of this transition. Operationally, customer additions did not meet our expectations for reasons we'll explain later in the call. On the financial side, our progress has produced some of the best results in terms of OIBDA and margins, although more progress is essential on this front.
We'll discuss those results in detail shortly, but before I do, I'd like to take a step back to provide you with an overview of how we're looking at our business and responding to the evolving marketplace. As you know, 2 years ago, we refocused our business to provide attractive all-inclusive plans with sophisticated devices such as smartphones and advanced services such as Muve Music that operate over a fast nationwide network. Following that transition, we made dramatic improvements in the business and we continue to believe that it's fundamentally the right strategy. In fact, while we're making some important refinements to our strategy, a lot of what we're seeing in the marketplace is telling us that we're on the right path and need to keep moving forward, albeit with improved execution.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Council's £10m plan 'a bit ludicrous' says public
Cumbria County Council have put forward planning application for a new £10million HQ to be built in the Botchergate area of Carlisle.
It's a move that is said to save money and help the council work better:
'It makes a lot of sense for us to put all of our staff in the city centre into one base, it will help us to save money and it will also help us to operate more efficiently as an organisation and of course very importantly it will assist with the regeneration of Bothergate.
Obviously we do have to pay for the cost of the building, part of that will be from the disposal of the existing buildings and then we'll have to borrow the balance but the business case has been made that we will be able to afford the repayments and still make a saving because our running costs will be greatly reduced.'
However, the plan has been met with mixed emotions from public:
Plans for new £10m Cumbria County Council HQ
Plans have been submitted for a new 10 million pound headquarters for Cumbria County council.
The new building will be built in the Botchergate area of Carlisle and will house 600 of the county's workers.
The current headquarters are based at The Courts.
Cumbria County Council names new Deputy Leader
Cumbria County Council has announced its new Deputy Leader following the death of Councillor Jo Stephenson.
Councillor Clare Feeney-Johnson has today become Deputy Leader of Cumbria County Council.
She will also be acting as Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group until elections are held next month.
Speed limit reviews of Allerdale roads
A review of speed limits in Allerdale have been put forward by Cumbria County Council.
Consultations have been drawn up following on from a scrutiny of speed limits in the area.
Changes could be made to 15 speed limits, with restrictions being both raised and lowered depending on conditions.
Road accident figures, traffic speed and volume figures were all taken into consideration as part of the review.
It also looked at the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders as well as motorists.
Stretches of road which have been looked at include:
- the A595 between Flimby and Maryport
- the A594 Dearham to Maryport
- the A5086 from Gote Brow to Cockermouth
- the A596 at Northside Road, Workington
- the B5322 at St Johns in the Vale near Keswick
- the B5289 between Keswick and Seatoller.
The B5302 at Waverbridge near Wigton, the B5299 between Fletchertown and Watchhill and Syke Road in Wigton are also being considered.
A series of meetings will take place across the West Cumbria over the next few weeks. You visit the Cumbria County Council website for more information.
Cumbrian schools to close amid strike action
Teachers across Cumbria will be out on strike on tomorrow, Thursday 10 July, forcing the closure of many schools.
They are going on strike as part of an ongoing dispute over pay, pension cuts and working conditions.
For the latest information on school closures, you can visit the Cumbria County Council website by clicking here.
Cumbria County Council controversy over £400,000 retirement pay
The controversy over executive pay has reared its head again, after it came to light that a former leader of Cumbria County Council retired last year with a pay-off of more than £400,000.
Jill Stannard's golden handshake has provoked anger from politicians and union's at the trend for large benefits packages being awarded to top public sector workers.
The council claims its restructuring of senior management taken last year will save it more than half a million pounds annually. Ryan Dollard has more.
Council pay-offs: 'I don't think it can be justified'
MP John Stevenson has criticised Cumbria County Council for the large retirement payout they gave to a former chief executive.
He argues that employment benefit packages should be capped.
Council pay-offs cost over £900,000
Council accounts show that when a former chief executive took early retirement from her £170,000 job in May last year, she did so with a £400,000 benefits package.
That included a lump sum of £87,000 and a pension of more than £290,000.
She was one of four senior executives to leave the council last year at a total cost of over £900,000.
£400,000 council pay-off criticised by local MPs
Local MPs are criticising a large retirement payout from Cumbria County Council.
The council has confirmed that its former chief executive retired from her £170,000 position with a £411,000 benefits package.
Jill Stannard stood down in May 2013, at the age of 55, after eight years in the job.
Local MPs including Tim Farron and John Stevenson have criticised the figure and the culture of high ranking public sector workers retiring with bumper benefits packages.
'Reducing the number of people who work for organisations is never cost-free.
These costs are an inevitable consequence of the government's decision to cut council funding as part of its efforts to balance the nation's books.
As a result of the senior officer restructuring that took place last year, the council will achieve a permanent annual saving of £584,000.
In addition, the Local Government Chronicle has reported this month that Cumbria County Council's current chief executive has had the biggest drop in salary out of any council in its latest annual survey.'
£5 million to repair Cumbria's roads
Cumbria County Council has received just under £5 million to repair potholes across the region.
It's estimated that there are 91,000 potholes in Cumbria and that there are three million across the country. It is part of the biggest investment in roads in England since the 1970's, according to the government.

Bonds derive their value primarily from two promises made by the borrower to the lender or bondholder. The borrower promises to pay (1) the face value or principal amount of the bond on a specific maturity date in the future, and (2) periodic interest at a specified rate on face value at stated dates, usually semiannually, until the maturity date .
Example of bonds issued at face value on an interest date:-
Valley Company's accounting year ends on December 31. On 2010 December 31, Valley issued 10-year, 12% yield bonds with a USD 100,000 face value, for USD 100,000. The bonds are dated 2010 December 31, call for semiannual interest payments on June 30 and December 31, and mature on 2020 December 31. Valley made the required interest and principal payments when due. The entries for the 10 years are as follows:
On 2010 December 31, the date of issuance, the entry is:
2010 Dec. 31 Cash (+A) 100,000
Bonds payable (+L) 100,000
To record bonds issued at face value.
On each June 30 and December 31 for 10 years, beginning 2010 June 30 (ending 2020 June 30), the entry would be: Each year June 30 And Dec.31
Bond Interest Expense ($100,000 x 0.12 x½) (-SE) 6,000
Cash (-A) 6,000
To record periodic interest payment. On 2020 December 31, the maturity date, the entry would be:
2020 Dec. 31
Bond interest expense (-SE) 6,000
Bonds payable (-L) 100,000
Cash (-A) 106,000
To record final interest and bond redemption payment.
Note that Valley does not need adjusting entries because the interest payment date falls on the last day of the accounting period. The income statement for each of the 10 years (2010-2018) would show Bond Interest Expense of USD 12,000 (USD 6,000 X 2); the balance sheet at the end of each of the years (2010-2018) would report bonds payable of USD 100,000 in long-term liabilities. At the end of 2019, Valley would reclassify the bonds as a current liability because they will be paid within the next year.
The real world is more complicated. For example, assume the Valley bonds were dated 2010 October 31, issued on that same date, and pay interest each April 30 and October 31. Valley must make an adjusting entry on December 31 to accrue interest for November and December. That entry would be:
2010 Dec. 31
Bond interest expense ($100,000 x 0.12 x 2/12) (-SE) 2,000
Bond interest payable (+L) 2,000
To accrue two month's interest expense.
The 2011 April 30, entry would be: 2011 Apr. 30
Bond interest expense ($100,000 x 0.12 x(4/12)) (-SE) 4,000
Bond interest payable (-L) 2,000
Cash (-A) 6,000
To record semiannual interest payment.
The 2011 October 31, entry would be:
2011 Oct. 31
Bond interest expense (-SE) 6,000
Cash (-A) 6,000
To record semiannual interest payment.
Each year Valley would make similar entries for the semiannual payments and the year-end accrued interest. The firm would report the USD 2,000 Bond Interest Payable as a current liability on the December 31 balance sheet for each year.

The term, "swimlane" is utilized in a certain type of flow chart diagram, and they show the distinction between specific subfunctions belonging to a process. This is a visual thing which is very helpful because of the instant identification of the "lane" and what it does. (It is easy to identify the "lane" you are swimming in as opposed to the other people, who may be on the same team, but working in different disciplines.)
Swim lanes are a visual tool designed to focus on a specific aspect of a project, namely the grouping of subprocesses which share the point in the left to right progress from start to finish.
Swim lane flowcharts differ from others inasmuch as all processes and decisions are grouped in a visual manner by arranging them in lanes. Parallel lines divide up the chart, arranged by assigning one lane for each subprocess, group or individual. It is not a hard-and-fast arrangement that the lanes be arranged vertically. They can also be arranged horizontally. It is whatever works for the chart designer or PM.

11 Rude Things We All Do But Don't Talk About
"Oh sorry I was like super busy…"
"Oh sorry I was like super busy…"
Turns out TfL have been sending us subliminal messages. No wonder the tube makes people so angry. (Also, this might be a little NSFW.)
Don't even think about calling someone a git, guttersnipe, or ignoramus.
"Vagina Lover"
Haters gonna hate, basically.
TL;DR: It's not a compliment if it has a qualifier.
Chivalry, thy name is "commuter".
Stop stressing and just get out of there.
Here's to a lifetime of honesty.
No one likes a pole leaner.
"Marry that girl… How 'bout what I say?"
You've gotta make more than burgers and fries to date this dad's daughter.
The only cell some people deserve is a jail cell.
How rude are you?
Pro tip: Don't send a picture of your penis after the first date.
Deck your halls with embroidered curse words. Slightly NSFW.
Whoever said, "The customer is always right" clearly never worked in retail.
We all need to be mildly rude sometimes. Comics by Cyanide And Happiness!
More reasons to be polite!
UPDATE: A New Jersey couple with an identical receipt has stepped forward to refute the claim, saying that they did leave a tip and did not write the homophobic note. "I'm sorry but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle & the way you live your life."
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: You're becoming a monster.
So, uh, can you not?
Seriously, cut it out. Hisssssss.
Don't be rude, you little twits. Some adults could still stand to learn these, actually.
These sassy little river cats float downstream screaming slander about your mom.
Throw an extra buck or two in next time you tip. They earned it.
This girl just needs to be quiet.

Jayy puts his hands on his hips."I didn't do anything." Innocent face."Then why are you apcting so suspicious?"Dahvie giggles."What?"

It was tasty.""Grr""Chase me, Jayy" Dahvie says over his shoulder playfully.So the chase begins as Jayy playfully chases Dahvie around the house."Gimme my sandwich back!" Jayy growls at Dahvie as he whips around the kitchen corner.Dahvie suddenly stops, turns around and says to Jayy, "Gimme, gimme never gets. Don't you know your manners yet." then sticks his tongue out at him and continues running after him.Jayy nearly crashes into Dahvie when he said that then catches h

DahvieXJayy story I don't know why Daniel broke up with me, he just did. Right on stage in front of a whole audience, just as we were about to perform. He didn't know how much I loved him. We were so deeply in love, and it was so hard letting go of him, but I managed to do it with Dahvie around The night of the brake up, the ride home was painfully silent, neither me or Dahvie spoke a word. When we got back to the house, I slammed the door shut behind me. I didn't bother washing off my smeared makeup or changing, I just dropped down on to my little bed on the floor. Dahvie stood in the doorway "Night, Jayy sorry about what happened" I sighed. "It's okay I guess" I said, trying not to cry. Dahvie started to walk away, then he took one last glance at my miserable face, and the tiny uncomfortable looking mattress on the cold hard ground. He signed. " Hey Jayy?" I looked up at Dahvie. "um " He hesitated. "Do you wanna, um maybe sleep
