Contrary to the disciples of scientism, physics has limits. Philosopher Ed Feser gives a quick run-down which is worth passing along. Feser writes: As I have emphasized many times, what physics gives us is a description of the mathematical structure of physical reality. It abstracts from any aspect of reality which cannot be captured via its exclusively quantitative methods. Let's stop here because this is important. What Feser is saying is that when the methods of physics are applied to any object, any event, any piece of the world around us, the method only addresses the parts of that object, event, or piece of the world that can be mathematically quantified. Physics ignores any… more >>>
Just what were the Crusades? In his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast yesterday, President Obama likened the evil savagery that ISIS has been perpetrating in the name of Islam to Christianity and the Crusades. First, it makes no sense to with a wave of one's rhetorical hand dismiss one evil because of another. In logic, that is known as the tu quoque (Latin for "you too!") fallacy. Yet, there is another problem with the president's comparison: it's based on a very common, very popular, but very wrong misconception about what the Crusades were about and what actually happened historically. I want to take a moment to play myth-buster and show why the modern assumptions are very much backwards … more >>>
Almost a decade ago, I remember attending Catalyst Conference in Atlanta, packed with thousands of young evangelical leaders. It was there, that I first heard a young creative pastor named Rob Bell, pastor of the fast growing Mars Hill in Michigan. At the age of 25, I was finishing up seminary, but felt rejuvenated when I heard the line up of Catalyst speakers like Rob Bell, Donald Miller, and Andy Stanley. These teachers were creative but avoiding a lot of the controversial doctrinal issues that I heard from my alma mater Liberty University's founder Jerry Falwell. Rob Bell and these Catalyst communicators did not have pulpits, but were… more >>>
After producing the Tough Questions Answered blog for 5 years, we have had hundreds of skeptics comment on our blog posts. With so many skeptics, I've seen patterns of behavior that have led me to refer to some of the skeptical commenters as hyper-skeptics. A hyper-skeptic is someone who will not ever consider any evidences, arguments, or reasoning given for Christianity. For those fair-minded skeptics out there who don't want to become like this, here are the warning signs I've seen. What makes a person a hyper-skeptic? Well, you might be a hyper-skeptic if … You don't need to read anything actually written by Christian scholars, because you are just smarter than they are… more >>>
My name is Adam. I am an atheist, and have been one ever since I can remember. I was brought up in the Roman Catholic church, but could never really say that I held any theistic beliefs with any sincerity. For instance, one time, when I was around eight or nine years old, I asked a nun at my church where I "was" before I was born. She responded: "You were with God." I was still curious, so I asked her how long I was with God, before my being born, and she proclaimed: "For an eternity!" I then asked her why I could not remember "existing with God" for an eternity of time (is an eternity of time even a coherent concept?). She had enough with that question and proceeded to shew me away… more >>>
On one occasion, someone suggested to a friend that we have no need of 'theology'; we should, instead, merely think and talk about God; my friend replied that 'theology' simply means 'words about God' – we are all theologians. Likewise, philosophy – we are all philosophers. Francis Schaeffer put it this way: There is a second meaning [of philosophy] that we must not miss if we are going to understand the problem of preaching in the twentieth-century world. For philosophy also means a person's worldview. In this sense all people are philosophers, for all people have a worldview. And Tim Keller wrote, in his book, The Reason for God, "All doubts, however skeptical… more >>>
The hemorrhaging of youth from our churches won't stop until we get intentional about solving the problem. On the university campus, secular college professors are very intentional about indoctrinating your kids. In a candid moment, prominent atheist professor Richard Rorty tells you exactly what college faculty like him plan to do with your kids: '...we try to arrange things so that students who enter as bigoted, homophobic, religious fundamentalists will leave college with views more like our own…we do our best to convince these students of the benefits of secularization....So we are going to go right on trying to discredit you in the eyes of your children, trying to strip your fundamentalist religious community of dignity, trying to make your views seem silly rather than discussable..' Make no mistake, there are plenty Richard Rortys out there, waiting for your kids. So, what are you going to do to prepare them for the serious challenges ahead? —Brett Kunkle
Instead of addressing teens' questions, most church youth groups focus on fun and food. The goal seems to be to create emotional attachment using loud music, silly skits, slapstick games -- and pizza. But the force of sheer emotional experience will not equip teens to address the ideas they will encounter when they leave home and face the world on their own. A study in Britain found that non-religious parents have a near 100 percent chance of passing on their views to their children, whereas religious parents have only about a 50/50 chance of passing on their views. Clearly, teaching young people to engage critically with secular worldviews is no longer an option. It is a necessary survival skill. —Nancy Pearcey
The only way teens become truly "prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks" (1 Pet. 3:15) is by wrestling personally with the questions. Ironically, those who have never grappled with diverse worldviews are actually the most likely to be swept away by them. As G. K. Chesterton wrote, ideas can be dangerous — but they are far more dangerous to the person who has never studied them…we should always couch discussions of Christianity in the language of reasons and evidence. We should be giving apologetics from the pulpit and in the Sunday school classroom. Every course in a Christian school should be an opportunity to show that a biblical perspective does a better job than any secular theory of accounting for the facts in that field, whether psychology, biology, government, or business. Apologetics should be naturally woven in to all our discourse.
When you become a Christian you do not become immune to life. You will have questions, you will have bad days, you will lose hope and you will need answers. Enter apologetics. To outsiders this discipline answers objections, to insiders it builds faith and promotes intellectual inquiry. If you are a Christian and feel guilty about having questions, please don't. Ask away, build your faith, learn whatever you can. First from Scripture, then from the teachers whom God gifted his church with. If you have lost sight of hope, do not get discouraged. —Glenn Hendrickson
We need to help people be aware of the important issues with which they will need to contend. In the area of apologetics, we must give reasons for why we believe. We see so many believers who have only a superficial understanding of Scripture and have no basis for saying why the Christian faith is true and or why he is not a Hindu or a Muslim. Without that awareness of an objective foundation for belief, they will buy into books like the Da Vinci Code and will be much more vulnerable to the tactics of new religious movements like Mormonism or Jehovah Witnesses. Because they are not biblically or theologically founded they can become more easily confused and rattled when they read a book like Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion. They just have not thought deeply about their own faith; so they become swayed by anti or non-Christian perspectives. —Paul Copan
I think increasingly we are going to need to be not only the bearers of the gospel to others but a people who have answers available to questions such as, "What about the problem of evil? and "How do I know God exists?" We will need to give basic answers to these objections. Typically, the same questions come up over and over again. You won't need to learn lots of new material with each person you talk to. If we have a mastery of some of the basics, we can really go a long way. And, as we're evangelizing, as we're talking about our faith, we will have greater confidence in presenting the gospel and won't be daunted by the potential questions that might come up, but rather will say, "I believe the Christian faith does a better job of answering these sorts of questions." —Paul Copan more >>>
Greg West provides a valuable service for the Christian community with his website The Poached Egg. With so much content available online, it is easy for people to either be overwhelmed by it, or to remain entirely unaware of helpful resources. Greg's work of content curation means that readers who are interested in apologetics can find consistently high-quality material for ministry, apologetics, and educational use. Furthermore, The Poached Egg helps to build community among Christian apologists, fostering a spirit of support and mutual encouragement in what is often a very challenging ministry field. Finally, Greg makes effective use of 'apologetics in new media' as he uses social media in effective ways to further the cause of Christ." Thanks for all you do, Greg! —Dr. Holly Ordway (Chair, Department of Apologetics, Houston Baptist University; blogger at Hieropraxis; and author of, Not God's Type: An Atheist Academic Lays Down Her Arms)
I cannot adequately say how much I appreciate what Greg has done in the service of Christian Apologetics. I am a pastor as well as a high school teacher at a Christian school, and I find myself increasingly saying, 'Why don't you check out the Poached Egg? It's got a TON of resources.' For all the work you do, Greg – thanks! —Anthony Weber (Pastor, teacher, blogger at Empires and Mangers and TC Apologetics, author of Learning To Jump Again: A Memoir Of Grief And Hope)
The Poached Egg has been in invaluable resource both in my own ministry and in directing interested seekers and apologists to a wealth of resources. By consistently providing links to articles from a number of areas of interest for Christians, TPE has become one of the most important hub sites for Christian Apologetics. I have been blessed by Greg in a number of ways, and I am particularly appreciative of his efforts to share others' works with his readership. When he links an article of mine, I am able to observe a notable spike in traffic for several days, along with numerous hits over the course of time as interested readers search his site. I highly recommend the resources he provides, and further commend his dedication to the field of apologetics and the service of the Kingdom. —J.W. Wartick (MA in Christian Apologetics, Biola University, blogger at Always Have a Reason)
The Poached Egg is by far the most influential Christian apologetics ministry on the internet, reaching the ends of the earth spreading the reasons for the Christian faith, edifying believers and providing intellectually powerful reasons for the truth of Christianity to unbelievers. —Arthur Khachatryan (Apologist, blogger at Cold and Lonely Truth, and author of Cold and Lonely Truth: The Beckoning of God's Reality in an Age of Rationalization)
I consider Greg West's "The Poached Egg" to be one of the best apologetics blogs of all time. Greg has the ability to find articles that grasp the essence of an issue and address it in a deep, thoughtful, balanced and readable way. Highly educational! Highly recommended! —Dr. Edgar Andrews (BSc, PhD, DSc, FIP, FIMMM, CEng, CPhys. Emeritus Professor of Materials Science, University of London, UK, and author of Who Made God? Searching for a Theory of Everything)
The Poached Egg performs the vital function of communicating truth in an accessible manner that informs without dumbing down and challenges without antagonizing. A great resource for Christians and skeptics alike. There is no apologetics web site quite like it, which reflects Greg West's God-given discernment and wisdom and Greg's desire to provide answers to those who doubt. —Stephen McAndrew (Attorney, Apologist, Ratio Christi Chapter Director, blogger at Songs of a Semi-Free Man, and author of Why It Doesn't Matter What You Believe If It's Not True: Is There Absolute Truth?)
I want to say how valuable Greg's the Poached Egg is on two levels: One, as an aggregator of information, one of the best go-to places on the Internet for a wide range of solid Christian thinking. To me it's also an encouragement. I appreciate it when TPE links my articles there—it boosts traffic very noticeably, which indicates they've got a good amount of readership. Two, I also appreciate seeing others' articles there—to learn from and to remind me I'm part of a living community of people with similar concerns. —Tom Gilson (Apologist, Ratio Christi National Field Director, strategist and writer at BreakPoint, blogger at Thinking Christian, and co-author/editor of True Reason: Christian Responses to the Challenge of Atheism)

As I sit and write this in a small boutique café, waiting for a friend to finish work, a waitress offers me a free Coke to enjoy. Of course in writing about the unfavorable soda industry, this perfect irony was certainly not lost on me. But I realized that there is virtually no food service businesses in existence that do not offer soft drinks. We visit restaurants that might not serve particular foods, such as pasta or cakes or donuts or meat, but fizzy sugar waters are always available (and often with free refills).
Life has become this way because Big Food (the food and beverage multinationals) run the show. They are the master puppeteers, pulling the strings and controlling what directions we move, ensuring the hands of policy makers are placed directly over eyes and ears. It's the reason food policy expert Marion Nestle aptly stated, "It's hard to believe how thoroughly Congress is in bed with the food industry."
But a new study by the Credit Suisse Research Institute believes the Big Food goliaths, namely the addictive high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) 'empire' may soon be under attack by governments and consumers.
The Sugary Details Are Sour
The 2013 study, "Sugar: Consumption at a crossroads" found that the average adult in the US consumes 40 teaspoons of sugar per day. That's the current world record and no real surprise given that America has the highest rate of adult obesity (34 percent) and second highest rate of childhood obesity (35 percent). Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Australia come close, indulging in an average of 35 to 38 teaspoons of sugar per person, per day. For the record, with an average of 7 teaspoons per day, China consumes the least among the world's largest countries.
This trend of extreme sugar intake now has experts predicting that global healthcare system costs for treating type II diabetes will reach US $700 billion by 2020. That will be around 15-20 percent of total healthcare costs (the cost of treating any and all illnesses) the world over.
Consequently, the Credit Suisse study reports consumers have now begun to raise an eyebrow at the products Big Food are producing and advertising to ourselves and our children. It's believed that eventually, pressure from consumers, medical professionals and legislators will turn the tide on sugar's dominance.
"From the expansion of 'high intensity' natural sweeteners to an increase in social responsibility messages from beverage manufacturers, we see green shoots for dietary changes and social health advancement," says Stefano Natella, lead author of the study. "We expect growth in sugar consumption – which has paralleled that of the growth in the world population at around two percent a year – to come under pressure, even though it make take a few years."
"But you can't prove sugar-sweetened products are to blame," they say…
Coca Cola die-hards and shareholders are right; you can't prove sugary products are the direct cause of our diabetes crisis. There are just too many variables and no definitive answers at the moment, hence why the multinationals haven't been sued by every one-footed diabetic sufferer.
However, the study did find that close to 90 percent of GPs across the US, Europe and Asia firmly believe the growth in type II diabetes and associated obesity is strongly linked to excessive sugar consumption. So that's nine out of 10 doctors pointing the finger at excess sugar in the diet. Surely companies cannot still claim "coincidence"?
Why Big Food Will Not Be Defeated
Unfortunately, the predicted pressure to be confronted by the food and beverage multinationals is going to be enforced by: a government that always crumbles under Big Food's pressure, medical professionals with limited influence and impressionable consumers who are actually too busy in their own lives to give a damn. With our powers combined, we'll amass to the equivalent of a 17th century, noisy, angry village mob.
With torches and pitchforks raised at the gates of the HFCS Empire, we're hoping to somehow breakthrough and topple the guards, challenging the legendary lobbying power of the sugar industry, which as Natella puts it, "is often referred to as the second most political commodity in the world – after oil."
And what's the secret weapon in the arsenal of this Angry Mob? The powerful "sin tax," a tariff on added sugar-laden foods similar to taxes on alcohol and tobacco. The stark problem with this weapon however, is that given the array of foods available and the mash up of their nutrients — from cans of Red Bull to venti caramel lattes — taxing foods on sugar content alone is far too delicate and complicated to work effectively. This shot's going to misfire.
The Beverage Industry Are Always in Control
Let's not turn a blind eye to the glaringly obvious: Big Food are prepared for this attack. Despite desperately trying to deflect responsibility for our diabetes epidemic, the beverage multinationals are fast working on newer and tastier sugar-free products marketed as the go-to for health conscious soda drinkers. In fact, the report cites that Swiss giant Nestle is already paying artificial sweetener producers to conjure up more innovative sugar replacements.
Big Food know that even if the Angry Mob do miraculously overthrow the HFCS Empire and sugary drinks are banished to oblivion, they'll be ready to pick up and relocate with artificially sweetened diet sodas in hand. They're brave, no doubt about it, and will transform the iconic red of Coke into the jet black of Coke Zero if they have to.
The Artificial Icing on the Cake
So what's wrong with the (incredibly unlikely) Coke Zero scenario if sugar-laden drinks are dead and buried?
Artificial sweeteners easily trick your metabolism, which can cause excessive insulin secretion, just like sugary drinks do. "Natural" sweeteners such as Stevia are not as natural as you think, and sweeteners such as aspartame, found in the struggling Diet Coke, are strongly linked with weight gain.
Put simply, artificial chemicals are not good for you, thus sweeteners are not a healthy alternative. If we continue to ignore this fact too, we'll end up back where we started: Big Food will control what consumers eat and drink, consumers will fall ill and perish and governments will cough up billions for the treatment. A modern-day plague all over again.
Please, can somebody tell me what happened to drinking water?

I love my Dr. Pepper. I drink 2 cans a day. After that, it's water or unsweetened tea!!
They do not control me as sugars don't either. Sugar is very bad for health be it white (refined) or brown (sugarcane) because sugar drives your blood's PH acid, then cells lose oxigen and may become ill. Cancer cells are happy to live in an acid media, that's why it's so important to mantain a balanced PH.
I cannot extend my comment as the subject is very long to te explained here, but you can look for info in the internet.
For its highly addictive nature
I don't drink it very often.
This is so true I used to drink loads of fizzy drinks a day and then go weak from withdrawal from sugar so I would make up any excuse to go to the nearest shop to get some which was quite hard as I work in one. Nowadays I stick to water, {for clearer skin} or fruit juices to stay healthy and the occasional diet coke. The money I have also saved from taking out a bottle of tap water instead of buying a fizzy drink is quite shocking,
I do not drink soft drinks, I drink pure juices instead. I stay away from all artificial sweeteners. You need to be careful sometimes. When I see a pie that says "no sugar added", I look closer and it says "sweetened with Splenda". I eat a lot of fruit, veggies and organic cereals and I think I'm pretty healthy for my age. BTW, I'm also a vegetarian.
Oki, thanks!
Ok, seriously people, it doesn't matter what others "BIG FOOD" do, you are in charge of your own diet and drinks. If you have diabetes, you can't blame marketers, food distribution co. or even your own parents. YOU CHOOSE WHAT TO PUT IN YOUR BODY! I am tired of this co-dependent society. If you don't like it, don't eat it!

Black donors needed for bone marrow list
Critical shortage of African-American donors limits chances of finding a match
HACKENSACK, N.J. -- Some African-Americans with leukemia, lymphoma and other diseases are unable to have lifesaving stem cell or bone marrow transplants because of a critical shortage of black donors, doctors and health officials said.
Of the 8 million people who have registered as potential donors with the National Marrow Donor Program, just 600,000 -- about 7 percent -- are black. That severely limits a black patient's chance of being matched with a donor for transplant.
"We all get leukemia and lymphoma at pretty much the same rate, but your chances of finding a donor if you're African-American are lower," said Dennis Todd, president and CEO of Community Blood Services in Paramus, N.J., and its marrow donor registry, the HLA Registry in Oradell.
Bone marrow is used to treat leukemia, lymphoma and 60 other life-threatening diseases. It is rich in blood-producing cells that can replace those lost to disease and chemotherapy.
Although the procedure is generally called a stem cell transplant, it's also known as a bone marrow transplant or an umbilical cord blood transplant, depending on the source of the cells.
Donor and recipient marrow must be a close match for a successful transplant, which means patients are more likely to find a match within their own racial or ethnic background. About 30 percent of patients who need transplants have a relative who matches their marrow type. The other 70 percent need unrelated donors.
With so few African-Americans on the donor list, black patients are less likely than Caucasians to get the transplant that could cure them.
People of mixed race are even more difficult to match, Todd said.
One black donor on the list is Sandra Davis, who signed up 10 years ago while she was a nurse on a hospital oncology floor.
"I was taking care of cancer patients who needed a second or third chance," said Davis, a nurse at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson, N.J.
Davis said her hospital co-workers practically "pushed me downstairs to be on the registry."
"Once I did it, everyone in my family went to the registry," she said.
She matched a young black man in Rochester, N.Y., whose cancer went into remission after receiving her marrow. Though he later died of other causes, her donation gave him several more years of life, she said.
"I'd do it again," she said.
She believes lack of participation in the registry could be because of "fear of the unknown." Learning from experienced donors is the best way to recruit, she said.
The donor shortage, which is also a problem among Asians and Hispanics, has prompted Congress and health officials to launch initiatives aimed at encouraging minorities to sign up as potential donors.
Signing up for the national registry -- known as Be the Match -- requires just a swab of the cheek.
Registration, which is free, can be done online at marrow.org.
Those who do match a patient find that most donations do not involve surgery. About 75 percent of the time, the patient's doctor asks for a peripheral blood stem cell donation, an outpatient procedure that involves taking blood from the donor's arm. In other cases, marrow is extracted through a needle in the back of the pelvis while the donor is under general anesthesia.
In Israel: Organ donors to get dibs on transplants
Israel is launching a trailblazing experiment in organ donation: Sign a donor card, and you and your family move up in line for a transplant.
The new law is the first of its kind in the world, and international medical authorities are eager to see if it boosts organ supply. But it has also raised resistance from within Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jewish minority.
Opponents say it discriminates against them because their religious convictions forbid the donation of their organs. While they are unlikely to get the law reversed, they have the clout to slow its implementation.
Only 10 percent of Israeli adults hold donor cards, compared with more than 30 percent in most Western countries. The actual rate of families donating a deceased's organs is 45 percent, but in other countries it rises to 70 percent, according to Jacob Lavee at Israel's Sheba Medical Center.
The only place where a limited version of the Israeli measure has been tested before is in Singapore.

It s a new year for David Stodden, but it begins the same as the past six, with a soft spoken yet desperate plea for help to find the person who killed his wife and daughter.
I mean it's never easy. I'll tell you that. It's never easy, he said.
In July of 2006, Susanna Stodden and her mother, Mary, were hiking the pinnacle lake trail near Mount Pilchuck when someone shot them execution style.
Today, David is back in the area handing out fliers, seeing the same faces he has for the past 6 1/2 years. He finds sympathy, but nothing more. It's almost a strange sort of therapy.
Well, it's kind of like sharing the pain. That's how I've always felt when people care, he said.
In the Mount Baker National Forest, the trail for the killer is running cold and the reward is running out. In September the $25,000 collected to find the killer will expire.
I think, at the time, everyone thought this would be solved long before 7 years, said David.
And now David admits he thinks the crimes may never be solved. All this time hasn't healed his wounds:
Well I think... I was in shock for 3 or 4 years, he said.
He longs for Sundays reading the paper with his wife, and can barely muster the words to express the grief for his eldest daughter.
I mean it's pretty tough with Susanna, he said.
And without a reward, this could be his last chance to bring them justice.
There s still a reward for another 7 or 8 months, so I'm making a push, said David.
So, it's back to the same routine. It's all David Stodden can do, hoping this year finally brings a different ending.
I just have to keep going, he said.
Investigators say the $25,000 reward comes with an expiration date because those that are open-ended generally don't produce results.
Anyone with information should call the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office

Halo 4 not just for sci-fi fans
Relevant offers
Stuff Nation
I have been playing Halo 4 and because I want to do this review justice and not rush anything, I have decided I will do it in two parts.
In the first, I will talk about the multi-player side and Spartan Ops side.
A bit of background on my experience with the Halo franchise. I played Halo 1 like most other people, but to be fair it was not an OMG game for me. I just didn't really care for the sci-fi style game back then. To a certain degree I don't now either. As a rule I don't buy or even bother to hire sci-fi titles as they are just not really my bag. I am still yet to watch Avatar.
I won't bore you with how amazing the developer (343 Industries) has been or talk about anything you cant wiki elsewhere. This review is based upon my experience playing this game and sharing my thoughts on it which may help you decide whether you want to buy it or hire it.
The game comes on two discs. It will not install on to a 4GB Xbox. You need a HDD or 8GB of memory. You also need a Gold Xbox Live membership and to be over 18 to access content.
Disc 1 will give you campaign play and Disc 2 is required for Spartan Ops, War Games (multi-player), Forge, Theatre etc... You can either install it from the disc or you can download it from Xbox Live.
After installing Disc 2, I decided to get stuck right in to the multi-player side. Bearing in mind, there are some known issues pre-release and there should only be legitimate users trialling the game (they have enforcement teams banning Xbox Live players that are using a dodgy copy), I still managed to get into a lobby and had eight players in total.
Not having a clue what to expect, I wandered around the map and didn't do too badly. As an SP1 (Spartan-IV) soldier you have the bare minimum of equipment available for your first load-out. You can pick up other weapons as they are dropped of course but unfortunately coming across a SP18 player with shields and pulse cannons and other perks and add-ons isn't much fun.
All war games take place on the UNSC Infinity and there are 10 maps at launch.
I played for a while and got the hang of it, sort of – but had an underlying sense of frustration averaging .34 kill/death ratio going 3-16 because of how crap my character was as a noob-level SP1. I am not just a poor aim, I run a respectable kill/death ratio on online shooters usually.
Your Spartan soldier is designated SP1 when you start and as you finish multiplayer games and other tasks like Spartan Ops and Forge you also gain experience points (XP) towards your characters progression. You don't just earn XP from online play. Next I decided enough multi-player exposure for one session and I dove into the Spartan Ops.
This is very much like Spec Ops in other shooter games and I found the cinematic imagery and soundtrack immensely rich and provided great ambiance. There are five Spartan Ops missions available currently, the first one is in the vein of "clear a valley of baddies" and the second one is called Sniper Alley and you have to de energise power grids as you advance through the large level. After competing these I gained XP towards my Spartan soldier. Halo 4 has taken the approach of anything not campaign will advance your multi-player level. You can also play in split-screen mode, linked console mode or solo mode.
I really enjoyed the first two Spartan Ops missions and the way you can again pick up any weapons and drive vehicles like The Wraith – it all makes the game more interactive and less linear.
I found the enemy artificial intelligence was better than average in Normal difficulty mode, if I shoot at someone they will seek cover not just stand there like a lemon. They also will strafe and behave very much like a real player would.
Looking at the multi-player maps there is also a designer mode. In Forge, you can load an existing map and alter spawn points, start camera positions, team load out points, drop crate points etc. Basically, you can customise any map to suit your liking and I know like in most other shooter games you can have custom game modes where you alter the time, the available loadouts players can use and the score limits, but this lets you totally change the structure of the game. Set all of the spawn points in one place for eg, move all of the crates and supply drop points to the other side of the map, etc you get the gist. This is all in the basic customisation mode. There is a much more in depth mode that allows for bare bones customisation for those that want to sandbox for a bit them play a round in their new created world (map).
If you have an exceptional game you can save it to the theater. From there you can take screen shots and add them to your file share.
There is a Limited Edition Halo 4 Xbox bundle, a Halo 4 strategy guide, a 12-month XBox Live Halo 4 plus Energy Sword and also if you preorder Halo 4 – Xbox 360 you will receive an exclusive bonus Spartan Warrior Avatar and Ghost Avatar Prop and more.
So far I have really enjoyed the graphics, the sound, the artificial intelligence, the customisation, the game modes, the load times.
Two gripes I have noticed is you cannot turn the sound down individually. I like to turn off game music most of the time but in the audio settings I cannot do this so I am stuck with the looping big orchestral soundtrack during Spartan ops. There also does not seem to be a connection strength indicator to show if you are lagging online or not and I was blatantly lagging. I was going around the same corner three times at some points.
I feel confident that Halo 4 die hard fans and those not-so-sci-fi will love this new instalment. I have enjoyed playing it so far and I have not played anything like this since Quake 3.

As far as I know the G/S frame is different then the road going frames.
But the frame is not what makes the ergonomic package.
That's the seat, foot pegs and handle bars.
Many people have to modify a bike to get the right triangle.
Some like their feet forward, some back, same with high and low.
for the seat some like narrow, tall, wide. The list goes on.
From your description it sounds like you need lower foot pegs, a wider taller seat and taller handle bars,
I'm guessing your what like just over a couple of meters tall then?
Look at these two photos
Draw a line from where you sit on the seat
To the handle bars, and to the foot pegs
make the R80g/s Match the R1200Gs and you're done.
Or just get one of these

Your not seriously saying the only thing a cruisers support is really good for is supporting another cruiser are you? So a cruiser that keeps his escort(s) alive is doinitwrong? They should only be healing another cruiser who can heal them back?
I guess I'm not sure what you meant by "escort dominated" and cruisers being low priority targets, slow and limited in their ability to protect.
Ok, going to take a shot at clarifying my meaning.
Can anyone honestly say that, all other things being equal, their priority targets won't be in something like the following order of precedence?
Science Vessel
You might swap SV's and Escorts, depending on your preference, but isn't this pretty close to the truth?
I'm not saying people are too stupid to adjust their tactics and focus on the cruisers if they are proving to be a bigger threat. I'm saying that people are naturally going to focus on softer targets that present a bigger threat and gang up on the cruisers when they don't have support. That really ought to be the other way around, in my opinion... people should have to pound on or outmanuver the cruisers in order to get at the softer targets more effectively and the game should balance around that.
And I am saying that sticking cruisers into a default healboat role makes them less dangerous in general, unless the cruiser captain really knows what he's doing. They don't have the speed and turnrate to keep up with the ships they're supposed to be covering and aside from having better Engineering BOFF stations the ships themselves don't have any particular advantage at playing the healboat role.
Escorts, on the other hand, are fast and manuverable. They're harder to hit and they're better at keeping their weapons in firing arc. They do get bonus weapon power and they can mount DHC's. On top of that, they have as many Tactical BOFF stations as the cruisers have Engineering BOFF stations and all of the Tactical BOFF abilities buff the very things that make escorts well suited at their role.
Engineering BOFF abilities are best at making cruisers better tanks, not better healers. Only three of them can be used on other ships (ET, A2S, ES), which means the healers have to supplement with Sci BOFF powers (HE, TSS) to be more effective at healing and damage mitigation for other ships. The good part about that is that all of those abilities also help tank.
In this game, where you can't tank to mitigate damage to another ship, being a tank isn't as much help as it should be in a team support role. In other words, it's not good enough to be a good tank... you have to be a good healer, too. But, as I said before, cruisers are entirely reliant on BOFF powers in order to be healers. They have no innate ability or advantage to do that. Tanking just lets them survive longer while they're healing.
So, to sum it up, cruisers are less effective at the role they're "designed" for than escorts are at theirs.
What I would like to see is some way to make cruisers better designed for a protective role in which tanking plays some part. How to do that without completely overhauling game balance, I have no idea.

The Hillsboro Lady Indians were able to get a lead and hold on to it all the way until the fourth quarter, when tired legs and missing crucial shots took the lead out of Hillsboro's hands and they lost a close one on their home court, 56-53.
The Lady Indians were able to take, and hold onto, a lead in the early goings of the game on Wednesday night against SCOL opponent Washington High School. They were up three after the first and took a five-point lead into halftime. But after being outscored by four points in both the third and fourth quarters, the Lady Indians were unable to come away with the victory.
Neither team out up big numbers in the third, but this quarter turned out to be the pivotal one of the game, as the Washington Lady Blue Lions took over the lead and never gave it back.
"The big thing for us was not getting a couple key stops in the third and early fourth quarter." Hillsboro's coach JR Moberly said after the loss. "They had a couple girls step up and shot the ball really well tonight. We just couldn't find an answer for that."
The Lady Blue Lions did shoot the ball well in the game. Almost half their points came off of three pointers (8).
The third quarter started with the Lady Blue Lions coming out shooting. Emma Anderson, who had 20 points on the night, was able to get the first four points on the board off a corner jumper and a layup after splitting Hillsboro's defense in the lane. At 6:24, however, Hillsboro's Kaylynn Bell was able to stick a nice box-out on a Washington defender and get the over-the-back foul call when she tried to jump over her back. This sent Bell to the line where she was able to make both of the shots.
Points were few and there were sometimes minutes between baskets, as both teams were playing lock-down defense on one another. With 4:56 left in the third quarter, Hillsboro's Hannah Kibler was able to take the ball in the lane and put up a quick jumper over the Blue Lions' bigs to bring the Lady Indians back up five.
In the remaining minutes, Washington went on a 8-4 run. With 3:54 left, Carleigh Chaffins scored an easy layup to make it 34-31 but Hillsboro's Kibler came right back with a bucket of her own to answer. Chaffins scored another basket at the 2:48 mark and a minute later was fouled going for a basket, was sent to the line, and made one of two there. This brought the Lady Blue Lions within two. With 54 seconds left on the clock, Hillsboro's Madison Snyder was able to make a jumper but with time running down, Emma Anderson for Washington sank a three pointer to bring the Lady Blue Lions to within one, down 38-37 with one quarter to play.
Kirsten Juillerat led all scores on the night but Washington was able to keep her quiet in the third quarter while they made their comeback.
[Washington] doubled down on Kirsten a lot in the second [half], especially late." said Moberly of the Lady Indians. "Our kids did a good job at recognizing that, I though and found several open shot. We just didn't make the shots."
The Lady Blue Lions outscored the Hillsboro 19-15 in the fourth quarter and the Lady Indians had so few fouls, they were unable to foul enough to get Washington to the line to try and get the ball back and score. The final was 56-53, Washington High School.
"We've been in foul trouble every game this year, it seems." said Moberly of the final seconds of the game. "Tonight, the girls did a great job of playing, what I thought was, pretty good defense and they did it without fouling. But there at the end, we're trying to catch up to them by fouling and stopping the clock and sending them to the line and we had too few fouls to get them there. It's not often we have that. Usually we have plenty of fouls."
"Overall, I'm really pleased with my girls and their effort tonight." Moberly continued. "They battled hard and gave everything they had. If we do a couple things better and make a couple shots, we get that one I think. Washington's girls played very well also. This was a great basketball game and anyone who missed it, missed a good one."
The Lady Indians are back in action this Saturday when they host another SCOL opponent in East Clinton.
Hillsboro: Juillerat 9 3/3 – 21, Bell 6 3/3 – 15, Snyder 4 1/4 – 9, Middleton 2 – 4, Kibler 2 0/2 – 4. Totals: 23 7/12 – 53
Washington: Anderson 4(4) – 20, Chaffin 3(2) 0/2 – 12, Warnine 2(2) – 10, Hawk 3 – 6, Bath 2 – 4, Marritt 1 – 2, McRoberts 1 – 2. Totals: 16(8) 0/2 – 56.

Staff Reporter
KOZHIKODE: The Federation of North Kerala Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FENOCCI) has flayed the reported move to impose restrictions on the free movement and trade of essential commodities such as foodgrains, sugar, lentils and edible oil.
In a memorandum to Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan, Food Minister C. Divakaran and Leader of the Opposition Oommen Chandy here on Thursday, M. Muzammil, FENOCCI chairman said the government must detract from the move to impose restrictions on the free trade of essential commodities.
Although the statement of the Food Minister in this regard was reportedly intended to curb the rising price line, in a consumerist State such as Kerala, the re-imposition of the restrictions will have a negative impact.
Under the circumstances the trade restrictions on essential commodities that were removed in 2002 as per the Essential Commodities Act 1955, ought not to be imposed once again, it was added.

Weston Martyr
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2009)
Joseph Weston Martyr,(1885 – 27 March 1966), was a pioneer British ocean yachtsman, writer and broadcaster, who was influential in the creation of the Fastnet race after participating in similar races in Bermuda in 1924
Martyr's varied adult life started when he went to sea at the age of 15 to serve on square-riggers and then steamers. He then worked as a miner in South Africa, a labour recruiter in China for Rand Mines and in the merchant and steamship business in Japan. He also spent time trading in the South Seas and banking in Formosa (Taiwan), and also acted as consul in Shimonoseki.[1]
After serving with the Royal Engineers during the First World War in France, he returned to the Pacific, and then ran a steamship business in New York. In 1922 he finished his wandering and turned to writing.[1] Inspired by the Bermuda Race, he helped create the Fastnet Race in 1925.[2]
Many of his stories were published in Blackwood's Magazine and heard on BBC Radio. The £200 Pound Millionaire (1931) explains how to live cheaply on a yacht, and a follow-up essay, Five Hundred Pound Millionaires (1957) describes how to do the same on canals and inland waterways.[3]
Weston Martyr was also a keen archer, writing about his hobby for Blackwood's and other publications. His wife Nora shared the hobby, in 1938 becoming the World Champion.[4][5]

Pros: Great cables, especially when they're free after rebate!
Thin and flexible.
No strain on your A/V components due to low weight.
Less clutter.
Cons: Unable to connect two of these together via an HDMI coupler. Not an issue for everyone, but if you're running HDMI through the wall and have a key stone coupler on the wall, you'll have to combine this cable with a regular HDMI cable to make the extension.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: Replaced my old MS keyboard with this one. I love the N-Key rollover feature, allowing any combination of keys to be pressed simultaneously. Great for games.
Cons: You may have to switch the keyboard back to 6-Key Rollover mode if you need to get in to your bios. This is done by pressing a simple 3-key sequence on the keyboard while it's powered on. It's in the manual how to change it over. Not a big deal!READ FULL REVIEW

4 Atlanta MS-13 gang members convicted on litany of violent offenses
ATLANTA – After a four-week trial, a federal jury has convicted four metropolitan Atlanta gang members of committing multiple murders, attempted murders, armed robberies and firearms offenses in Gwinnett and DeKalb counties.
Miguel Alvarado-Linares, Ernesto Escobar, Dimas Alfaro-Granados, and Jairo Reyna-Ozuna were arrested as part of a multi-agency gang investigation led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the FBI, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service, Gwinnett County Police Department, DeKalb County Police Department, Norcross Police Department, Chamblee Police Department and Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office.
"These defendants were the leaders of MS-13, a national gang known for its gratuitous murders," said U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. "They spread fear throughout the community by killing suspected rival gang members and innocents who crossed their path. While Atlanta has generally not experienced the same level of violent gang activity as some other large cities, as this case demonstrates, we are not immune."
"The defendants in this case indiscriminately brought murderous violence against rival gang members and innocent civilians alike," said Brock D. Nicholson, special agent in charge of HSI Atlanta. "HSI is proud to continue to partner with the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office to target violent transnational gang members who threaten the safety of Atlanta communities."
"Removing these violent gang members from the streets of metro Atlanta not only makes for a safer community but further weakens the Southeastern U.S. roots of this international criminal enterprise known as MS-13. The FBI will continue to work with its various law enforcement partners in targeting this group, and others like them, in a unified and effective manner," said Mark F. Giuliano, special agent in charge of the FBI Atlanta Field Office.
According to information presented in court, MS-13 is an international gang that has operated in the Atlanta area since at least 2005. During the course of this investigation, which ended in 2010, more than 75 MS-13 members have been arrested, charged, and/or deported. MS-13 members were organized into "cliques," or groups, but they operated under the larger umbrella of MS-13. Each clique had a leader, usually referred to as "the first word," who conducted weekly meetings. At these meetings, members discussed their crimes against rival gang members and their plans to retaliate against their rivals. The clique leader collected dues from the gang members. The leaders used the money to buy guns and post bail for jailed members. Some of the money was sent back to the MS-13 leaders in El Salvador and Honduras. Clique leaders communicated with MS-13 leaders in their home countries to update them on gang activities in the Atlanta area. The gang members staked out Gwinnett and DeKalb Counties as their home territory, where they committed murders and attempted murders and armed robberies. They also sold cocaine as part of their gang activity. The evidence presented at trial demonstrated that the defendants committed the following crimes:
- Alvarado-Linares and Alfaro-Granados, along with another gang member, killed Lal Ko in October 2006. Ko was a fellow MS-13 member, but Alvarado-Linares, one of the gang leaders, thought that Ko was cooperating with police and ordered his murder.
- In December 2006, when another MS-13 gang member wanted to quit the gang, Alvarado-Linares and Alfaro-Granados ordered him to kill a rival gang member as a condition of leaving MS-13. On Christmas Eve 2006, that gang member, following orders, shot at a car on Georgia Highway 316 that he believed contained rival gang members. The passenger, Angel Gonzalez, was murdered. He was 20 years old.
- On New Year's Eve 2006, Alvarado-Linares was at an apartment complex where he exchanged gang hand signs and insults with two members of the rival gang SUR-13. Alvarado-Linares pulled out a gun and shot the men.
- A few weeks after the New Year's Eve incident, Alfaro-Granados got into a fight with a suspected rival gang member at a nightclub. Alvarado-Linares, Alfaro-Granados, and Escobar later returned to the club, where Escobar shot a man walking through the parking lot.
- In August 2007, Escobar got into a scuffle with two teenagers at a gas station in Gwinnett County. Escobar reported the incident to Reyna-Ozuna, who was the gang leader at the time. Reyna-Ozuna gave Escobar a .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun to retaliate. Escobar went back to the station and shot one of the teenagers as he was painting lines in the parking lot. The victim, David Hernandez, was only 16 years old.
- In October 2007, Alvarado-Linares was in Gwinnett County and came across a suspected 18th Street member. Alvarado fired a shotgun and killed Pablo Archila-Baires. Archila-Baires was only 15 years old.
Sentencing hearings for Alvarado-Linares, aka Joker, 24, of Norcross, Ga.; Escobar, aka Pink Panther, 30, of Norcross, Ga.; Alfaro-Granados, aka Toro, 30, of Duluth, Ga.; and Reyna-Ozuna, aka Flaco, 28, of Norcross, Ga., will be scheduled at a later date before U.S. District Judge Richard W. Story.
Alvarado-Linares, Escobar and Alfaro-Granados were convicted of racketeering influenced corrupt organizations (RICO) conspiracy involving murder, which carries a sentence up to and including life. Reyna-Ozuna was convicted of RICO conspiracy, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years. Alvarado-Linares, Escobar and Alfaro-Granados were also convicted of committing violent crime in aid of racketeering, which carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison. All of the defendants were convicted of firearms offenses, which carry sentences up to life in prison. Parole has been abolished in the federal system.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Paul R. Jones and Kim S. Dammers and U.S. Department of Justice Organized Crime and Gang Section Trial Attorney Joseph K. Wheatley are prosecuting the case.

Kelly Rowland - Commander
Artist: Kelly Rowland
Producer: David Guetta
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 49 votes )
Dance hits have been creating a mess on the charts lately. From Ke$ha's Tik Tok to Akon's Sexy B*tch, one thing has remained the same: uptempo production. Kelly Rowland's new record, Commander, seems like it also has the potential to burn up the charts, and have people burning up the dance floor. Rowland has inked a new deal with Universal Motown and Commander is set to be the first single on her currently untitled, upcoming album. The David Guetta-produced jam will definitely have dancers fist-pumping in their favorite Jersey Shore re-enactment. Vocally Kelly delivers a performance that marries Guetta's production perfectly, and also working in its favor is the fact that Commander was penned by Rico Love. Yes, the same Rico Love who recently wrote Dirty Money's smash Hello Good Morning. All that adds up to a song that can easily serve as theme music while you're pre-gaming with your friends or going to your favorite club. But will it get the DJBooth moving? Comment away.

There are many types of uterine cancer treatment, and a patient's treatment plan may include one or more of these various options. In order to provide the most comprehensive and effective cancer care, the team at Moffitt Cancer Center follows a unique, multispecialty approach guided by evidence-based clinical pathways. In a single location, our patients receive the benefits of working with a cohesive team of experts who collaborate to ensure the best possible care. These experts – including fellowship-trained surgeons, medical oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, fertility preservation specialists, social workers and supportive care providers – meet weekly in an interactive tumor board to evaluate each new patient and recommend an individualized treatment plan.
The most common type of uterine cancer treatment is surgery. At Moffitt, our surgeons perform the following procedures to treat uterine, or endometrial, cancer:
Even if a patient undergoes surgery, and the surgeon is able to remove all of the cancer that is visible at the time, additional uterine cancer treatment might be recommended to attempt to destroy any residual cancer cells. This type of treatment called adjuvant therapy might include:
