The following is an opinion piece by correspondent Josh Stearns. It's nearly impossible to gauge the full impact of harassment of the press. How do you measure the stories that go untold because a journalist felt intimidated? How do you quantify the corruption that won't be exposed because sources are afraid to talk? When the […] more »

|Key Info
The house is on the edge of La Flotte, a small fishing port with numerous restaurants and shops as well as a famous daily medieval food market, tourist information, banks and tennis courts. All of these are within a few minutes walk of the house.
The accommodation includes three double bedrooms and a sofa bed in the Sitting Room. There is a large private garden with off street parking.
The house overlooks the sea, with excellent small boat sailing and windsurfing at high tide. There is a small shingle beach beside the house and a large sandy supervised beach at the other end of the village. There is a modern indoor public swimming pool 5 minutes drive from the house.
La Flotte is within easy reach of the beautiful city of La Rochelle (by car or by bus or ferry from the island), where the tourist attractions include a modern aquarium and maritime and natural history museums.
The Futurescope site at Poitiers (60 mins) with its high tech exhibits contrasts with the tranquillity of the Venise Verte, an area of canals to the North of La Rochelle, where canoes can be hired.

|Further details outdoors
The large paved Terrrace opens off the Sitting Room and has a table and chairs, sun loungers, deckchairs, etc. It is fitted with a motorised sun-blind.
The beautiful garden has areas of grass for children to play but is well planted, has an automatic watering system and is professionally maintained.
You can drive in and park by the front door which is very useful when unloading small children or shopping.
We do not have a swimming pool because the sea is so close at hand. If you like sailing or windsurfing, this is perfect (small boat slipway 2 minutes from house and park your boat in the garden).

There is a large collection of DVDs and videos for your use, together with a small library and numerous guide books. There is free internet access.
The Poitou-Charentes region
The area around the Ile de Re is known for its high level of annual sunshine - equal to France's Mediterranean coast.
Charente Maritime is mostly a relatively flat agricultural area with the Regional administrative centre of La Rochelle containing a well known university which contributes to its reputation as a cultural centre.
There is lots to explore but, for your first visit, you may well find you never leave the island because there is so much to see and do there.
La Flotte en Re
The island's website is well worth looking at (www.holidays-iledere.co.uk) and describes it as a charming jewel. No wonder it is one of favourite destinations for Parisians.
The island has been a well known tourist resort since the 1920s. It was transformed when a new road bridge connected it to the mainland about 20 years ago but the government of the island has been careful to guard its character against over development or unpleasantness (camping and camping cars are very carefully restricted, for example).
Historically the island has been a militarily strategic site. There are several Vauban forts and the town of St Martin is a World Heritage site.

"Delightful, well equipped, great location"
We enjoyed a lovely two weeks as a family at the house. We found it roomy, well equipped with everything you would need and in an ideal location. Very easy and short walk to the harbour and shops in la Flotte with plenty of choice of eateries. Easy 15 min bike ride into St Martin, which is very stylish and again plenty of choice of cafes, restaurants and shops. We found beautiful beaches all around the island. An excellent and detailed guide to the island is provided in advance and in the house by the owners. There are also lots of guide books, leaflets and maps in the house to use. On the odd grey day the men in the group were thrilled that wifi meant they didn't have to miss sporting fixtures !
I loved the whole vibe of cycling on the island - everyone from the stylish more mature cyclist to youngsters out and about on the well maintained cycle paths. Very little Lycra on show, it's very much cycling for all. Great holiday!

"A fabulous house to stay in whilst discovering the Ille de Re"
We stayed Rue de la cote for a week in early July. It was fabulous. The garden was a picture, full of hollyhocks and south facing so you got the evening sun till very late. The house is decorated and furnished in that slightly washed out seaside style, very much the in look at the moment and it is lovely. It had solid wood floors and pretty shutters. All the linen was crisp and clean (much of it from the White company). The kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we needed to put a home made french meal on the table. The lounge had very comfy sofas and an arm chair and a large table and chairs for dining. The large bathroom had a really good shower and large sink. Although the house only has one bathroom, it was not a problem because there is another separate toilet. We also were able to use their internet phone to make a few calls home.
The location of the house is close to the sea and within a short walk to the town of La flotte where we were able to visit a wonderful market for fresh fish, produce and bread. Having visited France many times in other areas, we found the people on the Ille de Re to be exceptionally friendly.
We hired bikes and all went off round discovering the island, and cycling in areas where there were no cars; heaven.
We wondered how we would get on the 3 teenage girls (daughter and 2 friends). They had a lovely time and we were able to give them a fair degree of freedom, feeling that they were very safe coming home unaccompanied at night.
Every village on the island has its own character but we preferred La Flotte to them all. Its narrow streets, Hollyhocks and beautiful market coupled with the area around the harbour make it a truly special place to visit. This is a really great holiday home.

Brief Synopsis
Never before have Americans paid so much attention to Islam and Muslim ideology. Although efforts have been made to separate mainsteam views from extremist principles, Muslims feel that many of their basic beliefs are under attack in the ongoing war of ideas. The author explores why, surveying a broad swath of accusations and efforts to change Muslim and Islamist ideas and institutions.

During pregnancy women are at increased risk of severe complications to influenza infection, including death of mother or fetus, especially if chronic comorbid medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus are present.
Case presentation
A 36 years old Caucasian pregnant woman with type 1 diabetes underwent mechanical ventilation in gestation week 27 for severe respiratory failure due to influenza and pneumonia. For three weeks during and following her most severe illness, fetal growth could not be detected and the umbilical flows and amniotic fluid volumes were affected too. The possibility of preterm delivery and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment were considered, however the patient and her fetus recovered gradually on conservative treatment. Under close surveillance the pregnancy continued until term, with delivery of an infant with appropriate weight for gestational age.
Preterm delivery and decreased birth weight were reported for women with antepartum pneumonia. Mechanical ventilation and ECMO treatment for severe respiratory failure in pregnancy are life threatening conditions and have been associated with preterm delivery. It remains uncertain if delivery improves the respiratory status of a critically ill woman, and the fetal condition is likely to improve, if the maternal condition is stabilized.
Severe respiratory insufficiency requiring mechanical ventilation in a diabetic pregnant woman with influenza was successfully treated conservatively. Despite clear signs of impaired fetal condition in the acute phase, watchful waiting resulted in delivery of a normal weight infant at term.
Keywords:Pregnancy; Diabetes; Influenza; Pneumonia; Mechanical ventilation; Pregnancy outcome
Viral influenza is caused by either Influenza A or B, and both types may cause significant morbidity and mortality. Pregnant women in advanced stages of pregnancy are at increased risk of serious infection, hospitalization and death. Smoking and preexisting chronic medical conditions, including diabetes, predispose to serious illness [1-7].
Pulmonary complications are the most frequent and include secondary bacterial pneumonia. The complicating pathogens are often Streptococcus pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influenza[2,8]. Influenza and pneumonia may be complicated by severe respiratory failure necessitating mechanical ventilation and extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment [7,9,10]. Antiviral therapy (e.g. oseltamivir) should be started within 48 hours of symptom onset for best effect. Delayed administration (after 48 hours) is associated with increased intensive care unit (ICU) admission and higher maternal mortality [11-14]. Secondary bacterial pneumonia should be treated promptly with antibiotics [2].
We report a unique case where a pregnant woman with diabetes underwent mechanical ventilation for severe respiratory failure due to influenza and pneumonia. During and following her most critical and severe illness, her fetus did not grow for several weeks. Both the woman and her fetus recovered, and the pregnancy was continued until term with a good outcome for both mother and child.
Case presentation
Maternal condition
Our patient was a 36 years old Caucasian pregnant woman with type 1 diabetes mellitus for 22 years complicated with proliferative retinopathy, but no hypertension or microalbuminuria. HbA1c was 6.6% at the first pregnancy visit (upper normal range in pregnancy is 5.6% [15]). She smoked 20 cigarettes daily, but had no known pulmonary disease. The patient had been pregnant once previously, where she delivered a healthy girl at term by elective cesarean section.
The current pregnancy was uneventful until she presented at gestational age (GA) 26 weeks and 1 day (26+1) at the Department of Obstetrics. She had been ill for three days, and demonstrated a productive cough, high fever, dyspnea and increased respiratory frequency. Capillary oxygen saturation was 83%, and bilateral lung infiltrations were seen on chest x-ray. Influenza A (H1N1) and pneumonia were suspected, and antiviral therapy (oseltamivir) and broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics (cefuroxim and clarithromycin) were started. Two doses of betamethasone were administered for fetal lung maturation.
During the next day respiratory function deteriorated progressively, and the patient was transferred to the ICU, where she was intubated and mechanical ventilation initiated. Her condition was considered life threatening with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and progressive hypoxemia despite ventilator treatment. Termination of pregnancy was considered to optimize ventilation; however maternal ECMO therapy was also deliberated and due to possible risk of maternal bleeding, continuation of pregnancy was decided.
The following days the patients' condition stabilized. She was extubated after 7 days and discharged from the ICU at GA 27+6. She continuously had a severe productive cough and needed nasal oxygen supplementation. A thoracic CT demonstrated bilateral multiple pulmonary abscess formations. Broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics were administered for another four weeks, during which the patients' clinical condition improved gradually. Microbiologic examinations showed positive Influenza B polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in tracheal secretions and Staphylococcus aureus in expectorate and larynx secretion samples.
The patients' blood glucose levels were difficult to control during the most critical weeks and included both hypoglycemic episodes and one hyperglycemic period with mild ketoacidosis. Hb1Ac values are shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Graphical illustration of the association between estimated fetal weight, HbA1c and flows in a. umbilicalis and a. cerebri media measured during our patients' pregnancy. Reference values from Astraia Obstetric and Gynecological database are included [16]. Upper normal range for HbA1c in pregnancy is 5.6% [15].
Fetal condition
It was decided to prioritize the mother, and initially the fetal condition was only monitored by checking the heart rate daily with ultrasound. A fetal ultrasound scan was performed at GA 27+ 4, with a normal estimated fetal weight of 1242 g (+ 4.5% above the mean) and normal amniotic fluid suggesting an unaffected fetus. However 3 weeks later at GA 30+3 fetal weight was estimated to 1231 g (− 29.9% below the mean), indicating impaired fetal growth for the prior three weeks. This was further supported by increased pulsatility index (PI) in a. umbilicalis, reduced amniotic fluid volume and abnormal flow in a. cerebri media (brain sparring), see Figure 1.
The patient and her husband were informed that preterm delivery could be necessary if fetal conditions deteriorated further. Fortunately at GA 31+3 the fetus had grown, with an estimated fetal weight of 1561g (− 16.6% below the mean). The amniotic fluid volume and the flows in a. umbilicalis and a. cerebri media had normalized. The fetus continued to grow appropriately, and was born by elective cesarean section at GA 37+1 weighing 2924 g (− 3.5% below the mean). The newborn needed neonatal assistance for a few days due to intermittent apnea, low blood glucose and jaundice. Both mother and daughter were discharged from the hospital eight days post partum.
One in 1000 healthy pregnant women have been estimated hospitalized yearly because of influenza in Canada [17]. During the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic in the U.S.A. the hospitalization rate among pregnant women was approximately four times the rate in the general population [12,13].
The U.S.A. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a 20% mortality rate for H1N1 infected pregnant women admitted to the ICU during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. Overall 3.8% of the reported infected pregnant women died [14]. A mortality rate of 8% was reported among infected pregnant and postpartum women in California during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic [13]. The mortality for ICU-admitted pregnant women presenting with primary viral pneumonia was 14% during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic in Spain [18].
Decreased birth weight and preterm delivery of infants born to women with antepartum pneumonia were described in several studies [19-21], but not all [6]. The risk of preterm birth was furthermore increased when women with pneumonia had another underlying comorbid condition [7]. Fetal outcome of pregnant women admitted to the ICU for non-obstetric causes, included 34% fetal losses and 11% of the infants needed neonatal intensive care [22].
The maternal mortality rate in obstetric patients undergoing mechanical ventilation was 14% [23]. Successful maternal outcome after ECMO treatment for severe respiratory failure/acute respiratory distress in pregnancy was reported in small series [8-10,24-26]. It has been necessary to administer systemic anticoagulation to enable ECMO treatment; hence hemorrhagic complications have been common with reported rates of 54% among pregnant and non-pregnant patients [8]. In most prior case reports preterm delivery was reported for women undergoing mechanical ventilation or ECMO treatment due to severe respiratory failure [3,9,10,24,25,27]. A concerning fetal condition is likely to improve, if the maternal condition is stabilized [28].
Limited publications have reported that delivery could improve the respiratory status of a critically ill pregnant patient. Reduced oxygen requirement was demonstrated after delivery in respiratory compromised patients, but still no clear benefit of delivery was established when attempting to improve maternal oxygenation [29].
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists have not recommended termination of pregnancy due to the need for ECMO treatment in pregnancy. Delivery should be to facilitate mechanical ventilation, allow for further intervention or when fetal compromise was evident. Before 30–32 weeks, the size of the uterus should not affect mechanical ventilation significantly [30].
The woman in our case had diabetes and was a heavy smoker. She developed influenza complicated by secondary bacterial pulmonary infection requiring mechanical ventilation in late pregnancy. The fetus demonstrated impaired growth and abnormal flows in a. umbilicalis and a. cerebri media during the critical period of the disease. This case was significant as the patient continued her pregnancy under close surveillance despite these high risk conditions. Both the mother and fetus survived with an infant delivered at term and appropriate in size.
Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this Case report and any accompanying images. A copy of the written consent is available for review by the Series Editor of this journal.

We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

Legalizing marijuana petition drive starts this week
By Laura Weber, Michigan Public Radio Network
Lansing, MI – A campaign to legalize marijuana is expected to launch a campaign this week to get the question of legalization before voters this November.
Organizer Matthew Abel says he thinks most Michigan voters want to legalize marijuana.
"It's pretty clear that the polls in favor of ending the drug war, especially against marijuana, go in our favor," says Abel.
Voters in Michigan approved the state's medical marijuana law by a wide margin in 2008. Abel says the campaign to legalize marijuana does not yet have the same level of funding the medical marijuana campaign had a couple years ago. The campaign to legalize marijuana must gather more than 300,000 valid signatures by early July to get the question on the ballot.
The state Supreme Court will also hear a case this week on the rules for medical marijuana clinics.

In most cases,
hysterectomy is an elective surgery used to treat
female reproductive system (gynecologic) conditions that haven't improved with
medical treatment. For women who have no plans for pregnancy and have
considered and tried other treatment options without success, a hysterectomy
may be a reasonable treatment choice.
Hysterectomy is also a
potentially lifesaving measure when used to stop severe bleeding after
childbirth or to remove
cervical cancer or
endometrial (uterine) cancer.
Reasons for
hysterectomy include:

Imogen Thomas has called Nicola McLean a bully in a HUGE old Twitter spat that unfolded on the social network today.
Nicola McLean retweeted a tweet about Imogen Thomas's pose in this Twitpic. Copyright [Twitter]
The Irish Big Brother star lashed out at glamour model Nicola McLean after she made fun of her for being an attention seeker on the social networking site.
Imogen tweeted: "I actually think this Nicola Mclean woman is obsessed with me. U are one BIG BULLY. Pls grow up and leave me alone. Sad little troll.
"2day im so ill in bed. Seeing another celebrity put me down is utterly uneccessary and disgraceful. PPL like her push u over the edge. BULLY"
Just minutes earlier Nicola McLean had posted a picture of an article on Imogen Thomas in a magazine with the headline: "How to cope with attention seekers"
She posted: "Lol #thatisall
She then retweeted a follower who made fun of Imogen's bikini pose in Italy recently - and added "lol" to it.
It said: "@AdeleHancock: @MrsNicolaMcLean cringing at the backside bikini photo.. if you ever do that you're getting blocked ;)x"< lol xxx"
Imogen, who earlier tweeted that she'd been to the doctors and wasn't well, added: "Mayb Nicola Mclean needs 2b educated on whats on the news these days&why ppl commit suicide.Cyber Bullying is nasty & I will not tolerate it"
But Nicola retaliated tweeting: "Someone needs to chill hardly bullying???? Another way of getting a attention????"
The pair have been enemies since way back when, with Imogen previously calling Nicola a fake, with the latter hitting back and calling her a "lying sl**".
YIKES ladies.

Since the guys from ijji banned players from Europe ot play on there drift city. People cryied like babies becouse they couldnt play there favorite game anymore.
Anyway a few months ago NPLUTO released a dedicated server for Europe.(www.driftcity.de)
The client is on german language and english.
NOTE Xfire doesnt recognize the game. Anyway its legal it even appears on NPLUTO site.
But its much harder then ijji's Drift City.
Cars are only up to V7.
There arent so much cars like in the ijji one.
You make harder level up.
From level 40 you can make only 2 missions per level.
After level 50 you can make only ONE mission per level.
The items for your car. Dont depend on your level. But on what kind of car you have(V1/V2/V3/V4/V5/etc..)
Every week there some kind of events.
One bad thing is that most of the comunity is from Germany so you see on the chatbox like almost only german speakers. And the the first time the game was released the client was on german language.
So as those who played the game know... you can chose at a moment with wich side you will be. ROO/OMD.
I would suggest that you should choose OMD it will be a little easier then being with ROO.
The site is www.driftcity.de

Most histories of the Cherokee nation focus on its encounters with Europeans, its conflicts with the U.S. government, and its expulsion from its lands during the Trail of Tears. This work, however, traces the origins of the Cherokee people to the third century B.C.E. and follows their migrations through the Americas to their homeland in the lower Appalachian Mountains. Using a combination of DNA analysis, historical research, and classical philology, it uncovers the Jewish and Eastern Mediterranean ancestry of the Cherokee and reveals that they originally spoke Greek before adopting the Iroquoian language of their Haudenosaunee allies while the two nations dwelt together in the Ohio Valley.

"Canoe Trip on Rivers of Time"
I truly enjoyed listening to the book. This book tied all the thoughts and questions I had about Ameridindian DNA. Listening to the Book was a trip back through the Story. Jack Chekijian's, smooth voice is like a Tranquil canoe trip on the rivers of time. Donald Yates delivers a well researched, thoughtful, personal account of the Origins of the Cherokee.
The book takes you into the Ancestry of Cherokee Tribal chieftains and their daughters as well as Elvis Pressley. Discover it for yourself.
I had oral traditions about Native American Ancestry mostly Cherokee. I started working on this aspect of my family tree with my Dad's and Maternal Grandmothers Ancestry. This proved to be An interesting and frustrating journey. I couldn't find much online about Native American Research in early 2000. Many Cherokee researchers that were online were very helpful. The most insightful site I found though was Panthers Lodge owned by Dr. Donald Panther-Yates. Shortly thereafter, he began a DNA Project with Southeast Indian Ancestry. He was looking for Straight Matrilineal descent and/or Patrilineal; The emphasis on Native American Women who had married Indian Traders. This was a very unique approach. Since my Trader Lineage comes through my Maternal Grandmother with her Father's Family, I could not participate at that time with the limitations of the DNA tests and projects at that time being strictly to Y or X. So, I answered the call for volunteers and helped by constructing and researching with the participants on their digital family tree, beginning with Gayl Wilson's unique Cherokee History.
Thus began a journey through the Southeast Indian Tribal Stories. Find your Journey too!
I also am getting the complete Print version with tables and pictures. I Think having the Audible version as a companion to the Print book is very helpful in hearing how the Cherokee Words are pronounced.

Interview: Brian MacKay-Lyons on the State of Architectural Education and the Architect's Role
Brian MacKay-Lyons is the founding partner of MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects, a professor at Dalhousie University and the founder of Ghost Lab - the now legendary 2-week summer design/build program that took place on his family farm in Nova Scotia from 1994 to 2011. While relentlessly local, Brian's work has been recognized internationally with more than 100 awards, 300 publications and 100 exhibitions. In 2012, the American Institute of Architects recognized the collective work and influence of Ghost with an Institute Honor Award for Architecture.
On August 22nd, 2014 Brian hopped off his tractor and wiped the diesel fuel off his hands to discuss architectural education with Keith and Marie Zawistowski, co-founders of the design/buildLAB at Virginia Tech and partners of OnSite Architecture. Here is an excerpt from their conversation, which was originally published on Inform:
Keith Zawistowski: Your contributions to the discipline of architecture have been both in practice and in education. In 1994, you founded Ghost, an international laboratory that influenced all generations of architects with its simplicity and this affirmation of timeless architectural values of place and craft. It was a pretty bold move and it seems for us like it was a direct reaction to your discontentment with academia and the way architects were being educated. Do you still feel that strongly about the state of architecture education and the profession?
LCD Exhibits "As Autumn Leaves" at Beijing's 2013 Design Week
"As Autumn Leaves" (AAL) is a spatial installation designed and built by students of the Laboratory for Computational Design (LCD) for Beijing's 2013 Design Week. Located in a historic hutong district in Beijing, AAL highlights the existing entrance to Dashilar Factory where emerging creatives exhibit their design. The concept is based on ephermerality of nature. As temperatures change, autumn turns to winter, and trees shed their leaves, AAL recalls the passage of time through changing seasons.
Yale First-Years' Latest New Haven House Complete
Most architects have to wait years to see their first project realized – but if you're an architecture student at Yale University, you may just have to get on campus.
The Jim Vlock Project, established in 1967, gives first year graduate architecture students the opportunity to design and build a single family home in New Haven, Connecticut. The most recent iteration of the program, which investigated prefab design and construction, will be dedicated today at Yale University.

The Grow Dat Youth Farm & SEEDocs: Mini-Documentaries on the Power of Public-Interest Design
If you read our infographic, then you know that Public-Interest Design is one of the few growing sectors of the architecture industry. From the prevalence of Design-Build curriculums in Architecture Schools to the rise of the 1% program and non-profits like Architecture for Humanity, Public-Interest Design (PID) is hitting its stride.
Which is why we're so excited that two of PID's biggest players, Design Corps and SEED (Social Economic Environmental Design), have teamed up to create SEEDocs, a monthly series of mini-documentaries that highlight the inspirational stories of six award-winning public interest design projects.
The latest SEEDoc follows the story of the Grow Dat Youth Farm - a brilliant example of what we call "Urban Agri-puncture" (a strategy that uses design & Urban Agriculture to target a city's most deprived, unhealthy neighborhoods) that is changing the lives of New Orleans youth.
More on this inspiring story, after the break…

Cost of ownership: KTM 1190 vs Multistrada 1200

Interesting question ultranr and one that I too would enjoy having some insight into. Thanks for asking it.
For those suggesting that anybody interested in the answer is unworthy of a KTM, read the question again.
It is not asking whether an LC8 costs more to run than a Yamaha.
It is requesting insight on whether the KTM could be expected to cost more or less to run than a Ducati, a notoriously high-maintenance brand which had been high on the OP's next-bike list.
So, after five years of new-Ducati ownership but none of KTM ownership here is my take on the question - which I hope KTM owners can correct, confirm or add to.
1. In addition to the cost of desmo valve jobs and timing belts, what adds to the pain with Ducati is the high cost and poor quality of some OEM parts. As I am interested in the 1190, I have taken a look online at some LC8 spares, and they appear to be priced at about 70 per cent of equivalent Ducati spares. Systems also seem to be more available as individual parts. Is the quality higher? Can't say.
2. The other potential big cost for Ducati owners is the unusually rapid rate of depreciation with miles. A lot of people seem to buy Ducs but not ride them much, and so the used market is flooded with low-mile examples. That cuts demand for higher mileage bikes, even though the basic engineering is solid. My impression is that used KTM buyers are more tolerant of high mileages.
3. It looks a bit easier to set the valves on a KTM, and you don't have to pay for or tension drive-belts. That should keep costs down and make life easier for do-it-yourselfers.
4. KTM has added multi-mode ABS and sophisticated traction control to the 1190 but has stayed away from hands-free ignition lock and steering lock and digitally controlled suspension, unlike Ducati. Less to go wrong.

Oprah Interviews Bobbi Kristina Following Death of Mother Whitney Houston
Oprah Winfrey has scored the first (and possibly only) interview with Bobbi Kristina Brown following the death of Brown's mother, Whitney Houston.
Oprah Winfrey has scored the first (and possibly only) interview with Bobbi Kristina Brown following the death of Brown's mother, Whitney Houston.
Target has pulled a greeting card from the shelves that mocked Whitney Houston.
A rep for the store says as soon as they learned that the card was still in stores (after she died), the staff started removing them.
A source told E! News that Whitney Houston's death will be officially ruled an accident.
The actual cause of death was temporarily listed as "deferred" on Houston's death certificate because toxicology tests were still needed.
A breaking report says that Rihanna might be one of the front runners to play Whitney Houston in a biopic about her life.
Clive Davis is said to be ready to get the details finalized around the movie, but lead actress names are still being thrown around.
Like the entire world, Mariah Carey's heart has been heavy in the past couple of weeks as she continues to mourn the loss of her friend and musical icon, Whitney Houston.
Bobbi Kristina Brown is being pushed to rehab by family and friends, who are worried about her mental state following Whitney Houston's funeral.
First Aretha Franklin couldn't make it to Whitney Houston's funeral. Now TMZ reports that Bobby Brown made it to the memorial — but left already.
Even the Queen of Soul gets sick sometimes. Aretha Franklin canceled her performance at the funeral of goddaughter Whitney Houston.
Depending on how much faith you put into gossip websites, it appears that Whitney Houston may have known her end was near.
Whitney Houston's funeral will be noon Saturday at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey. The family's pastor just made the announcement at Newark's Whigham Funeral Home.
The family has been struggling to keep this a family event, and that is reflected in the choice of location.
Toni Braxton, Wiz Khalifa, Ne-Yo, Ciara and many others took a moment to talk about Whitney Houston before Clive Davis' Grammy party.
Whitney was a staple at Clive's party in years past, and reality started to set in for most people when they realized she wouldn't be there.
Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was rushed to the hospital this afternoon. TMZ reports that Brown was taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital on a stretcher.

Device not listed?Please ask us!
35 black & white pages can be printed per minute in DIN A4 format with the black & white printer Kyocera FS-1370DN. Furthermore, the laser printer with Kyocera-Ecosys technology has a duplex unit for double-sided printing. Thus, the Kyocera FS-1370DN is particularly suitable for use in the office and at the workstation.
The Kyocera FS-1370DN facilitates black & white printouts with a resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi. After a warm-up period of approximately 20 seconds after the device is turned on, the laser printer needs about 7 seconds to print out a DIN A4 page. What's more, there is a 128MB memory for print orders that can be expanded to a total of 1,152 MB. In addition to an RJ45 network connection and a USB 2.0 port, the Kyocera FS-1370DN has an insertion slot for an internal printer server and one for CompactFlash cards. The paper tray for the Kyocera FS-1370DN has space for maximum 250 sheets of paper, while the universal feeder can hold a total of 50 sheets. Printouts can be made from both trays in letter, Folio, Oficio2, Legal, A5, A6, B5 and A4 formats. User-defined formats from 105 x 148mm to 216 x 297mm can also be printed. The duplex unit is compatible with the formats A4, Oficio2, Legal, Folio, and Letter. At a weight of 12kg, the dimensions of the black & white laser printer are 375 x 393 x 267mm (W x D x H). The volume while the printer is in operation is approx. 55 decibels, while the volume is 30 decibels in stand-by mode. There is also a silent mode for even quieter operation.
The printer shows a message as soon as the toner cartridges are almost empty. Before the toner can be replaced, any storage media in the direct vicinity should be moved to prevent damages due to magnetic charges. Then, the upper panel can be opened so that the toner cartridge is visible. The lock can be released via the latch on the left side of the cartridge in order to replace the toner.

He ushered in a new era at New Orleans City Hall, exactly 35 years ago today. Ernest 'Dutch' Morial was sworn in as the city's first African-American mayor, on the steps of City Hall May 1, 1978.
In his inaugural address, Morial, who won the election six months earlier, noted the historic nature of his election but struck a unifying tone, calling his election 'a noble experiment' for 'all the people.'
'History will someday record that today a quiet revolution took place when, for the first time, a black man assumed the office of mayor,' Morial said. 'But I have said before and I say again the election of a black mayor, the appointment of a black official means nothing unless there is tangible advancement for all people.'
Morial, then 48 years old, was sworn in by a fellow trailblazer, Criminal District Court Judge Israel Augustine, the first African-American district judge in Louisiana.
Morial, a New Orleans native and well-known civil rights attorney before taking office as mayor, was also the first African-American member of the Louisiana state legislature, first African-American juvenile court judge in NewOrleans and first African-American appeals court judge in the state.
Morial would go on to serve two terms in office, as would his son, Marc, who served from 1994 to 2002. Marc Morial is now president of the National Urban League. 'Dutch'Morial and his wife Sybil had five children in all.
'Dutch' Morial died in 1989.

All Points Bulletin is a genre-breaking new hybrid MMO from Realtime Worlds. MMORPG.com's Bill Murphy has immersed himself in APB for the last couple of weeks and has a lot to say about APB. See if you agree with Bill's assessment.

Well I still say this is not really a MMO, just a FPS disguised to look like one.
I also will keep repeating, they are not going to find enough players to pay a subscription to this game. Look for a change in the way they fund this game in the near future.
I wish them luck in getting some of the problems ironed out and hope some of you enjoy this type of game.

Your chararacter gains experience and levels up, defining a role playing game.
Tis is not mmo, tis dont get close GTA or counter-strice. just plain junk.
Matching system is still broken. rank 50 against rank 200+? riiight magic it is... magical that it puts people like that at odds.
I agree with you list of pros, but your list of cons is dumb.
First off: Driving is a chore.
Maybe you should learn to actually drive? Because once I knew how to drive it was easy and fun, but I suppose you should be able to play uber driver right off the start huh?
Second: Plodding and Archaic Controls.
Okay, so no cover mechanic suddenly makes this game uber bad? Guess Planetside's controls sucks to, oh and so does Global Agenda's controls. Seriously, the controls were fine.
Third: Repetitive Mission Content. Okay... maybe you got this one right...

The game does have a few problems match making and hackers im sure those will be dealt with soon enough but to be honest i cant remeber the last time ive had this much fun playing any mmo this game is a blast if RTW takes care of the few problems this game has its going to be huge
I think the missions could be alot more in depth. I mean raid by breaking a door and the shit falls out for you to pick up? what did you break open the candy machine? Whatever happened to breaking the door down and going in guns blazing or stealthing in to arrest people. Those missions could be so much more.

I've not played the game, might play it after I get done doing pretty much the same sort of action in GTAIV and RDR.
Still I mostly want to chime in on the article.
Is the driving and lack of cover enough to take 3.5 points off of the review score? Honestly the praise and talk-up for the rest of the sections say at least 9, and then these 2 complaints maybe an 8.
I'm not saying the wording is wrong or the score, but it seems a bit uneven.
Here's hoping the automobile coding improves over time. Being an artist and graphic designer I'd really like to give the customization a go after awhile.

"Pablo Picasso said art is a lie that tells the truth."
6.5? Hah. Screw this Review.
You know why this game is better than 6.5? Because I don't have to to push the #1 key to kill the same thing over and over and over while watching a shitty animation repeatedly. There may be some repetitiveness to APBs gameplay, but every encounter is ORIGINAL.
Can WoW say that? No, can LOTRO? No.
MMORPG.com... you're institutionalized. If its not one of the Set Standard of games, then you rate it badly.
APB has THE nicest looking characters and THE nicest looking character creation on the market.
The driving is far from how you describe it. It just takes EFFORT AND SKILL to learn.
Pathetic review, absolutely.

So happy I'm not alone on my view on this review. :')
I'm free on Friday.
I few things I find as a con in this game:
1. Character Upgrades -
This seems rather ignorant and unbalanced. This is why a Rank 200 can EASILY defeat a rank 50, 3 shots to kill you and 1.5 clips to kill them. No balance because there is no negative to being that tough.
Answer: Remove character upgrades and replace them with clothing that has stats - Each type of protective clothing would offer a bonus and a minus making it fair (Your armor reduces damage but also reduces your run/walk speed a percentage) for instance.
2. Shallow Missions -
This game could offer much more in depth missions. Raid = Breaking open a door and the prize falls out, stopping a bomb means finding it laying on the ground outside the shop or under the car and disarming it. Getting back stolen cars, getting info on crims... all of this is a one stop F shop to no where.
Answer: Every time I break a door and a box falls out I think to myself, why can't the door break open and I rush inside to handle several npc crims and search the place for my prize? I spend hours driving around and as I do I randomly hear people hidden somewhere talking about crimes, why can't I bust in on them and deal with it? and why do the crims leave bombs out in the plain open for everyone to see what happened to having to SEARCH and look for these things? Does San Paro not know what night time is? why must crims work in the daylight hours when it makes sense to do so at night and just imagine action at night how much more interesting that could be blinding people with your head lights and REALLY being able to sneak up on them.
Also I'd like to point out that the current in game voice program seems EXTREMELY bugged. In most cases if you are in a group doing a mission it will put you on different channels until the mission is over and MANY people are now not using voice due to the advertisements.
In beta you would hear almost everyone talking, now the city of san paro seems really quiet.
It seems to have lost alot of its charm when it lost its voice.

That's quite funny, because there's only one button to perform actions in APB which means you'll be pressing that a lot. But I guess that's not repetitive to you. As for animations, the jump animation looks weird in APB - it's as if the character is about to fall on his back.
Next, you're comparing an online shooter to MMORPGs. I hope I don't need to point out why the comparison is off. Besides, encounters are supposed to be different in PvP games because you face various people. I don't see why this should count as one of APB's strengths, especially when you take into account the poor matchmaking system.
I agree characters look nice, but that's not a good enough reason to like a game.
I also agree that driving isn't as bad as many reviewers said. Maybe that's because I was in the beta and it was much worse at some point. It's not great either, but I quickly got used to it.
And to everyone saying the game is so much better when played in a group: isn't that the purpose of an online game? To play together with other people, friends or not? Why should APB be praised for this? None of its gameplay elements are great, some are not even decent.
Just because you genuinely enjoy a game doesn't mean a review is rubbish if it's rated low. A review is meant to point both the strengths and weaknesses of the game, and the present review did just that. The reviewer even started off by saying he finds the game fun, but that alone doesn't mean the game had to score high.

That is just my opion and we all know what THAT is good for!
6.5 seems a bit harsh. I would go with a 7.5.
It is funny how the game has its flaws and is fairly repetative. With most of those issues and the writer even agrees that it is FUN!!.
Seriously, in a group of friends or even a PUG it can be very fun. Dunno why, you look at it on paper and look at it for what it is and you go, meh. Most FPS run rings around this game and MMO is a term used LOOSLY to describe some of the persistant world features.
Yet, I still have fun.
How is that? Why?
I dunno, the 6.5 does not sound to rough when you are looking from the game on the outside. From the inside tho... If you are playing in consistant groups..... IT IS JUST F'in FUN!
It is like watchin a train wreck. You know it is going to happen. You know it is going to be gruesome. You know it will not be worth the time. Yest you FREAKIN watch anyway!!!!

Wonderfull review.
You spent time with the title, and it shows, can't say that about the other reviewers. The score was fair for its current state, and your right, only the hardcore would be good to recomend this to at this point.

I've never played this game but I am sick of the horrible reviews here at MMORPG.com. This site used to be the source for insightful and FAIR analysis of MMOs. Unfortunately, it is the exact opposite. The review does not match the score, yet again. Well. This will be my last time on this site. I remember when MMORPG.com came out, it was great... maybe you should return to those roots? Until then, I'll take myself to Massively.com; the information and analysis is fair there anyway.
If you haven't played the game, why do you feel compelled to comment then?
Whats not to understand?

The game is just as ambiguous as his review. On its face value it is , meh. In actual play with a group of firends it can be awesome. The problem is it really depends on the group you played with. Some times that is fun and other times it is not. It is really a hit or miss type thing.
If you get in there and start playing ( liek I did on the Keys to the Cty Weekend ) and have this really crappy experience. You would hate the game.
After retail release I had a friend who kept lauding the game and saying how fun it was. Convinced me to buy it and join his clan. OMG, what a difference that can make. And the fact that if you treat it like an FPS and Expect to die alot it is even better.
