Either way it will be the best camera on a smart phone that everyone can use. I am new to the iPhone and boy have I been impressed. This thing is so polished. Just need a bigger screen and it is over. That being said, I would rather it be on the glass with a couple small tweaks to the cloud.
The mobile camera war is currently being fought in glass, in chips, in apps, and on the cloud. Where should iPhone 6 be?
With the iPhone 6 — presumably due sometime this fall — Apple will no doubt continue its focus on photography and on making the best "everyday" cameras in the business. But how will they keep doing that? There are several possibilities. They can add a bigger piece of glass that takes up a lot more space but captures an incredible amount of information. They can continue to improve their already amazing image signal processor (ISP) that takes what information is captured and makes incredible use of it. They can also continue to improve the software that takes the bits, analyzes and processes the pixels out of them, and creates incredible results. And they can introduce fantastic cloud services that take whatever comes out of the phone and applies incredible server-side power to it. In other words, they can amp up the glass, in the chip, the apps, and/or the cloud. The question is, which way will the iPhone 6 go?
big glass bumps
With the iPhone 5s, Apple has done an amazing job of squeezing high-quality optics into very little z-axis — that is, thickness. What glass there is in the iPhone 5s is composed of five discreet elements, precision aligned, with a backside illuminated sensor (BSI), 8 megapixel, 1.5-micron pixel size, and f/2.2 aperture. Considering the casing is only 7.6mm thin, that's pretty close to an engineering miracle.
Nokia, by contrast, has a 41-megapixel Carl Zeiss lens on its Lumia 1020. It has six elements, is also BSI and f/2.2, and has 1.4-micron pixels. In addition to the giant lens, however, it adds optical image stabilization (OIS). In other words, it physically floats the lens so it can keep the aperture open for a long time and drink in a ton of light. All of that takes up a lot of physical space, however. Not only does it make the Lumia 1020 10.4mm thick, it forced a face-hugger-sized bump on the back of the phone.
The original HTC One also had OIS and a thickness of 9.3mm but managed to avoid the bump by rounding the entire back. HTC went with 4 megapixels of resolution, but larger pixels at 2.0 microns and an f/2.0 aperture. The new HTC One M8 added a second lens to the back. It records distance information so that, later, the focal point/depth of field can be adjusted.
Samsung, for its part, will be continuing to wage the megapixel war, going to 16 megapixels for the Galaxy S5. With those megapixels come a mega-bump, however.
There's a lot Apple could do to improve the optics on the iPhone, but would they do it if the cost was a thicker, bumpier product?
The signal processor
What the iPhone lacks in lens size it more than makes up for in image signal processing (ISP) power. Most recently, that's thanks to the supercharged Apple A7 chipset. The ISP focuses, balances, exposures, and otherwise processes the image so it comes out looking as good as possible. Some of this occurs pre-capture, like multiple facial recognition. Some of it occurs post-capture, like the auto (digital) image stabilization (AIS).
The A7 is so fast that saving high-dynamic range (HDR) images — something that took a few seconds on older iPhones — can now be done instantly and even automatically on the iPhone 5s. The A7 can also handle 10fps burst mode, dynamic exposure for panoramas, and more. It can even handle AIS, which requires 4 short exposure pictures be taken in rapid succession and then combined to produce the least noise, subject motion, and hand motion as possible.
Other manufacturers also have dedicated image signal processors yet none of them can yet do as much with as little as the iPhone 5s. If rumors are true and Apple is readying an Apple A8 processor for the iPhone 6, then even more image signal processing may be possible.
AIS can stabilize some amount of subject motion, which OIS can't do, but it's not as good for hand motion and doesn't allow the kind of long exposures for low-light that OIS makes possible. Likewise dynamic depth of field control currently requires a second lens to gather distance information.
The A8 ISP will no doubt be better than the A7, but how much better can it realistically be?
The camera app
The iPhone has always had a good camera app. With iOS 7 the old, heavily chromed, shutter-effect laden version was abandoned in favor of a newer, cleaner, blur-transitioning version but the functionality has remained much the same. What new features there are serve to support the Apple A7 ISP. Auto-HDR can be toggled on and off. Burst mode photos can be fully explored. Filters can be applied live and post-capture. Images can be auto-enhanced and have red-eye removed. And that's about it. Everything else from more manual controls to more in-depth editing to special effects are left to App Store apps, including Apple's own iPhoto.
Almost all other manufacturers have been more aggressive about adding functionality to their built-in camera apps. BlackBerry 10 offers time-shift so that you can move backward or forward to find the perfect picture, almost like a continuous, selective burst mode. HTC and Samsung offer a host of image manipulations and effects. Some of them, including Nokia, will even let you access the RAW image data.
Some of the effects are silly and, because of complexity, I'd argue many of them are better left to optional third-party apps. However, some are useful and some are just plain fun. Would Apple be willing to integrate even more options into the Camera app?
The cloud
Apple currently limits their iCloud imaging services to Photo Stream. Originally a way to temporarily store photos to aid in propagating them across iOS and OS X devices, Apple more recently added sharing to the mix. Now you can create albums for friends, family, and coworkers, like each others photos, and leave comments. It's... quaint.
Google, on the other hand, is awesome. Auto Awesome. If you're willing to let them suck all your photographs into the G+ cloud, they'll put the full weight of their massive server-farm behind it and perform effects from the functional to whimsical to the silly. Google also bought Nik Software, the makers of Snapseed and famous filter and FX packages. They're also putting considerable talent and resources behind their photography efforts.
Apple has a fantastic Pro Apps team, including those working on iPhoto and Aperture. Could they take those services to the iCloud?
The bottom line
Apple already makes the best image signal processors in the industry and their software is simple and solid. It would be great to see them do some of the dynamic focus stuff and a few of the specialty modes like multiple exposure but otherwise they seem to really be in the zone when it comes to post-capture, on-device processing.
That leaves better glass and server-side processing as the major opportunities. Could Apple make a better iPhone 6 camera by upping the optical ante? Almost certainly. Would it be willing to increase the thickness of the iPhone 6 to do it? Almost certainly not. While a thicker iPhone would also allow for things like longer battery life, it would make for a heavier device, like the Lumia 1020, and that is something Apple has thus far avoided at all costs. Likewise, it's tough to see Apple doing anything that would result in an unsightly bulge. A slightly raised camera, like on the iPod touch, is one thing. (Especially if the trade off is an even thinner casing, which is what happened with the iPod touch.) A big honking protrusion is quite another.
Services aren't typically Apple's forte either. They also don't like manipulating people's data on the cloud, preferring to keep things local when they can. iWork for iCloud is a recent exception, so maybe there's some hope for iPhoto for iCloud. It would be great to have a viable competitor to the Google and Facebook-based photo clouds. Storage and backup aside, though, there seems little advantage to Apple doing in the cloud what they can do on-device.
All of that adds up to the iPhone 6 likely getting what we typically get from Apple — slightly better optics, impressively better ISP, slightly better Camera app, and small improvements to cloud services. Camera nerds will want more, but it's a strategy that best serves the every day photographer Apple is focused on.
Still, we're a long way from September so let me know — what would you like to see from the iPhone 6 camera?

The mobile camera war is currently being fought in glass, in chips, in apps, and on the cloud. Where should iPhone 6 be?
And "everyone" cannot use the Nokia? My colleague who has the 1020 seems to have less usability hurdles with it than I have with my 5S. I now believe the Nokia/WP combo is the most accessible, polished and approachable the industry has yet seen during the last 30 years. I have an iPhone myself, but I had my parents switch back to WP (lower-end Lumias) since they are less techncially-inclined and do not speak any English, the latter point of which in particular is a requirement on iOS. iPhones are OK for the geeks like me but not for the ordinary folk. Heck, the user cannot even upload photos to the cloud for sharing without some complicated foreign 3rd party service. The average user is simply not going to accomplis that.
Now I no longer need to support their devices and asnwer to simple usability questions over the phone. Fabulous.
Definitely "glass". - It's like when recording a song; You start with the best possible mics, and you then have great results no matter what kind of cheap or expensive processing goes on. An $10 mic's result can't be processed to sound like an $60 one, without software costing at least double that. And yet the results won't be as good. But an $200 mic will perform excellent and require minimal processing - if any.
I kinda hope for more manual controls for the iPhone camera app. From my experience, the iPhone has the best automatic camera mode of any smartphone I've tried, but I'd like some manual options (not full blown DSLR capabilities, but maybe something like a slider for manual focus would really be helpful for me).
iPhone is really the best, and I would like to see a lot new things in it, one new things is 240fps, cause 120fps on 5s is good but still it can't capture very fast actions like bullet fired from a gun, or if that's too much then atleast, a cat jumping from a tree(which was not like slow motion in 5s)
I don't know much about how it all works, but for me zooms are the weakness of all smartphones. If anyone can produce optical zoom results with a digital zoom without me having to carry around attatchable lenses then that would be the best camera.
I imagine something can be done software wise to improve results of zooming on an iphoneIt is certainly something I can see being improved considering the powerhouse the A7 is and A8 will be.
It's strange how many iPhone users that just don't snap pictures that much or at all. I for one use Burst mode and all the wonderful native tools and lots of third party apps to enjoy the marvelous iPhone 5s camera
Just wish I had one when I was a kid but had to make due with my point shoot and wind which I used more than ten of my friends do with there super slick camera phone
Sent from the iMore App
I would be ok with a slightly thicker iphone. As long as the whole thing was slightly thicker. IE more room for battery and a better camera. As long as we don't end up with a monstrosity. Like where the camera part is thicker than the phone.
What you are wishing for here is a non-1020 higher end WP-like device, ala 930. But Apple will never go down that road, for their philosophy has always been and will always be style over substance. They could add 1mm of thickness and improve the user experience (battery life, camera) tremendously, but they won't, since that's not their thing. Similarly, they could fix the maps, but why bother? Like J. Ivy emphasizes, It is a fashion/design item which commands a brand price premium, not an every day smartphone for ordinary folk. That would be bland and boring and not so good a business.
You have it wrong. Apples style is user experience first, with a design that is well thought out. The camera is already great. There's nothing wrong with the maps either. I like it better than google maps. Apple maps being vector based can cache several states worth of information right on the phone. When I was in an area with crappy edge internet. My maps still worked and still loaded up. It even loads if your in airplane mode for areas you have recently looked at. Apple has made things thicker before to add features they want. The ipad 3 was slightly thicker than the ipad 2, for example. Like I said, I wouldn't mind a thicker phone with a little more battery, even though I have never had battery issues on the iPhone. But I know apple will deliver a good user experience first and foremost.
"With the iPhone 5s, Apple has done an amazing job of squeezing high-quality optics into very little z-axis — that is, thickness" That would be Sony as they made the optics. Apple did the amazing feat of ordering the correct part. Some may call that a sales miracle. :)

text: Carine Roitfeld's recent CNN videos garnered much interest internationally but one of our favorite highlights was to see the editorial process live and featured in print in the current April Vogue Paris. While many magazines are debuting "behind the scenes" features, it is rare to have one of the calibre of Vogue Paris and to actually have the editor in chief and a photographer of the status of Patrick Demarchelier explaining how a concept evolves. With Dutch beauty Ymre Stiekema , the video (featured here) shows the work it takes to achieve the final shots. Shot at an agricultural show, the shoot's goal is to contrast the haute couture clothes with the classic French farm animals. Ymre shows why she's a current choice among the industry's top lensmen, gamely breaking an egg, holding a reluctant rooster and emoting the proper placid expressions for the bucolic atmosphere. Our fave moment? When Carine says "We made a casting between the different cows and different lambs, the casting of animals is not easy." We say the fact that you did is why we adore you Carine!

At 76, Donald J. Dunn is looking forward to seeing the annual property tax bill on his West Friendship home stay exactly where it is for now, thanks to tax relief measures unanimously approved by the Howard County Council.
"It fulfills the wishes I had," Dunn said about one bill, which would let disabled homeowners and those 65 or older with annual incomes under $75,000 defer property tax increases, interest-free, until their homes are sold. "It allows seniors the option - and it's a good option - of staying in their house and being able to plan and have some security."

USMC reviewing Bastion investigation results
Commandant will notify family and personnel after determining next steps
Insurgents dressed in outdated U.S. Army uniforms infiltrated Camp Bastion at night, split into three groups and attacked the flight line, causing the greatest loss of U.S. military aircraft since the Vietnam War.
The Marine widows, Danielle Atwell and Donnella Raible, told U-T San Diego last week they are upset at how long it took to investigate the attack and that no one has been held accountable.
Raible said putting Tongan troops from a small, impoverished Polynesian island in charge of guarding the perimeter of the main base in the region was "irresponsible."
"Whoever made the decision to leave our towers in the hands of someone other than U.S. Marines or British troops should be held accountable," Raible said.
Atwell, now 23, said her husband didn't have his flak jacket and helmet handy when the insurgents struck, so he fought without body armor. "That is not acceptable," she said. Whoever allowed such lax security measures before the attack "should be held responsible," Atwell said.
Many within the Marine Corps are also upset that no one was fired or reprimanded after the Bastion attack. A Marine helicopter pilot who was there moments after Raible was killed told U-T San Diego last week to keep pressing for investigation results.
I "want to see those responsible for the lack of security held accountable," he said.
Gurganus had early warning of the threat against the base and its high-ranking personnel and visitors. Two days after he took command in March 2012, Gurganus and his British deputy were nearly run down by an Afghan interpreter employed at Bastion airfield.
The man stole a truck and sped down the tarmac where Defense Secretary Leon Panetta had just landed in an unmarked plane. Gurganus and the welcome party scattered as the truck crashed into a ditch. The Afghan man died after setting himself on fire.
During a subsequent security assessment months before the Sept. 14 attack, Gurganus requested more personnel to help guard the towers; but the request was denied amid the drawdown and NATO International Security Assistance Force "politics," said a military official who worked with Gurganus in Afghanistan, defending his management of base security.
In the runup to the attack, plastic dummies were propped in some watchtowers instead of live sentries, while idle troops elsewhere took online courses and trained for recreational runs, a general officer said.
One month before the attack, Gurganus approved a reduction in perimeter patrols outside Leatherneck and Bastion; and on the night of the attack the tower closest to the Taliban point of entry was unmanned, The Washington Post reported in April, citing four unnamed U.S. military officials who were at Camp Leatherneck at the time or were later briefed on the incident.
Despite several inquiries and security reviews by NATO's ISAF in Afghanistan, no one in charge of securing the base complex was sanctioned.
"I am still here," Gurganus told U-T San Diego in a phone interview from Afghanistan in February, at the end of his tour in southwestern Afghanistan.

Zaky Pawas & Farouk Arnaz
A reputed gang leader suspected of murder could be released before authorities can finish their investigation and the Jakarta Police say they know who to blame: the absent prosecutors who are supposed to be in charge of the case.
Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto said on Monday that they were doing everything they could to complete the investigation of John Refra Kei.
"We were supposed to discuss whether to move to prosecution or if the investigation should be prolonged but the prosecutors are not around so we are still waiting for them," he said.
Police and prosecutors have consulted on the case at least five times, but Rikwanto said the police had been waiting for days to sit down with prosecutors again.
The delay meant the police were unable to complete their investigation before Kei's 120-day detention was due to expire on Friday. Hours before Kei was due to be released, police transferred to Sukamto Police Hospital, extending his detention. Time spent in the hospital does not count as time served in police detention.
"[John] is not sick," said one of Kei's lawyers, Alam P. Simamora. "Investigators are finding excuses to keep John in custody. He should be released."
Alam and his team of lawyers filed a complaint with the National Police on Monday. They accused the Jakarta Police of abusing their authority by keeping Kei in custody.
Rikwanto declined to comment on the complaint. He said any decision to release Kei would be made by the doctors at the hospital. "We are still waiting for a report from the medical team," the spokesman said, adding that he could not comment on the nature of Kei's illness.
Kei is the main suspect in the murder of the president of Sanex Steel, Tan Harry Tantono, 51, who was found dead with stab wounds to his neck and stomach at the Swiss-Belhotel in Central Jakarta on Jan. 26.

Central America is not one of the major continents. So, it may be called a 'subcontinent'. It is from Mexico to Panama.
According to my atlas, Central America is part of NORTH AMERICA, along with USA and Canada.
You may NOT group Central America to South America. South America has already a fixed number of countries, namely:
- Argentina
- Bolivia
- Brazil
- Chile
- Colombia
- Ecuador
- French Guiana
- Guyana
- Paraguay
- Peru
- Suriname
- Uruguay
- Venezuela
The WEST INDIES, or the group of islands located at the Carribean Sea are also part of NORTH AMERICA.
PS. There ARE continents named NORTH and SOUTH AMERICA. If your source is "very" basic geography, you should know that.
- Asia
- Africa
- Antarctica
- Europe
- Australia

Central America is ' politically ' considered an integral part of South American continent. Geographically and physically this part of the world is a standalone area of Land that is a sort of joint between the North and South American Continents. People of USA do not refer to it as part of North America.
There are a total of 7 Continents.
North America.
South America.
Normally when we speak of Central America we mainly imply a specific area of the South American Continent.
I do not think that we consider the central part of North American continent or the central part of USA as Central America.
Geopolitically, Central America has traditionally consisted of the following countries.
El Slavador
Costa Rica
So essentially Central America is that part land lying just below Mexico and Columbia. Thus it is between the North American and the South American Continent. This would mean that it is no way part of the North American or that of the South American Continent.

according to me, there is no north or south america but only one continent called america. and central america of course belongs to it. north and south is a division very popular in the states but not in other parts of the world. i guess this is because the states call themselves america and try to avoid confusion. or maybe there is also a racist issue.
23:13, 30.08.2009
America….You see..Central America, is part of the continent called America….where the Country named The United States of America is located…
America is not a Country, its a Continent…it CONTAINS three portions: North America (that comprises Canada, the United States and Mexico) Central America, also known as meso amsrica. (that contains Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Belize, Costa Rica and Panama.. and South America, that contains Brazil Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina,
You see?
Its AMERICA…(A CONTINENT)
There is not such a thing as North and South America Continents..They are not separated.There is only ONE continent called AMERICA..(ONLY ONE)
Remember. the five continents of the earth are:
AMERICA, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania….recently it has ben proposed that Anctarctica, would be considered as a separate continent. If you know about any other continent, please let me know ( perhaps you will win the prize of National Geographic Magazine—
Those porposing Anctartica, have a point there

I.D.E.A. District unveiled downtown
Design theme seen as complement to region's technology focus
Click on map to enlarge.
A design and educational district downtown could generate 10,000 jobs downtown and $1.8 billion in new construction, two developers proposed Wednesday.
Developers David Malmuth and Pete Garcia unveiled their concept to about 50 civic leaders at downtown's NewSchool of Architecture and Design. They plan to issue a vision statement in July and look for companies and institutions that can make their proposed "I.D.E.A. District" a reality. The initials stand for innovation, design, education and the arts.
"Design will be the engine of the I.D.E.A District," said Garcia, who developed the Hybritech biotech campus in the 1980s and more recently was president and CEO of University Mechanical & Engineering Contractors. "Designers and design firms are the ones that will be the lightning rod to make this place a success. That is a job cluster that we have all missed. It's been there, but we have been so focused on technology that we have really missed the design job component."
Malmuth, who worked for the Walt Disney Co. on its New Amsterdam Theatre renovation in New York City and the Kodak Theatre complex in Hollywood, said the district initially would encompass 35 city blocks, bounded by City College, Market Street, Park Boulevard and Interstate 5.
It potentially could contain:
- 3 million square feet of offices and design studio space;
- 600,000 square feet of retail and restaurants; and,
- 2,200 apartments. The development value is based on a project cost of $300 per square foot. The job count is based on similar design-oriented districts Garcia and Malmuth have looked at, such as Barcelona, Spain, Helsinki, Finland, and Portland, Ore., where architects and top-end designers can earn six-figure salaries. They said their district would represent a new "economic cluster" that would complement San Diego's high-tech and biomedical clusters that have been founded by local colleges and universities' faculty and alumni.
"It won't happen by accident," Malmuth said. "It takes a great deal of focus and intention to make this happen. It won't happen overnight -- we have no illusions -- but it's a game changer."
Garcia and Malmuth said their top goal is to keep the NewSchool downtown as a nucleus of the district. The 650-student, for-profit college occupies about 100,000 square feet in six locations and is looking for a new location to double or triple its size over the next few years.
"What you're discussing today is intriguing for us," said NewSchool President Steve Altman. "It fits very nicely into our vision for the future in which we can become part of a vibrant core."
However, he said his parent company, Laureate Education, a privately-held Maryland-based firm that owns 64 higher-education institutions with more than 600,000 students around the world, is considering other locations, not just downtown.
Besides architecture, the design district would be marketed to industrial, digital, graphic, furniture and advertising designers, whose high-paid designers would be encouraged to live and work downtown and work for companies with manufacturing and marketing spinoff potential.
The two developers, who own no downtown land but hope to be involved in one or more projects, said future components could include:

PHONE subscribers in five British cities face yet more changes to their phone numbers because there are not enough to go around. This is the third number change in 10 years for Londoners, and the second for customers in Cardiff, Belfast, Southampton and Portsmouth.
Last April the telecommunications watchdog Oftel added an extra "1" to every British number, with some area codes changing completely. "Once we have put the `1' in front of all the present numbers, no one who has such a number will have to change again during their lifetime," promised Don Cruickshank, Oftel's director general. But even before "Phoneday" arrived, rapid business expansion in several cities had made the changes inadequate.
Oftel had to break Cruickshank's pledge in Reading by giving customers a completely new code, but it suggested that an idea borrowed from the US could save other cities from a similar fate. In New York ...

New York — The United States is leading international warnings to Sudan and South Sudan to step up efforts to reach a peace accord this week or face possible UN sanctions.
The UN Security Council has given the rival neighbors, who this year came close to all-out war, until Thursday to make their peace.
Tentative talks are being held in Addis Ababa. Diplomats said however that while no accord is expected the 15-nation council will probably hold back from ordering immediate action.
"It appears increasingly unlikely that a comprehensive agreement on outstanding issues will be reached" by the August 2 deadline, said Susan Rice, the US ambassador to the United Nations.
South Sudan broke away from Sudan in July last year but no deal has ever been made to set their frontier, how to share revenues from oil reserves that straddle the border, or how to settle citizenship disputes.

Suspected robber dies in fiery crash
Suspect identified as 48-year-old Barton Touchstone
SAN ANTONIO - A man suspected of stealing a cell phone after a traffic incident died in a fiery crash in Northwest Bexar County.
The accident was reported around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday along Interstate 10 near Ralph Fair Road in front of the Scenic Oaks Subdivision.
According to authorities, the suspect identified as Barton Touchstone, 48, bumped a woman's car to get her to pull over. Authorities said he then asked to borrow her cell phone and stole it.
Touchstone fled in his truck, but immediately hit something in the road and flipped his vehicle. The truck then caught fire.
Witnesses pulled him from the truck, but authorities said he died from his injuries.

This morning I tried the Limited Supplied Challenge, I had an idea of what I wanted to create, but when I was working on my card, this didn't come out the way it was on my brain, LOL.
So, I decided to create something different, well I would say I cased a card from my good friend Mary Fish, she has a lovely blog : Stampin' Pretty . Yesterday I saw a card she made in white and black, really pretty one, so I tried it on white and brown (I added some Close to Cocoa CS too!!)
I didn't embossed the image, I used Chocolate Chip Craft ink and I added a bella bubble in the middle, just for the little touch.
Here is my card:Card Recipe:
Stamp: Boho Backgrounds.
Card stock: Brown, White (GP), SU Close to cocoa.
Ink: SU Chocolate chip craft ink.
Embellishments: SU chocolate chip Satin ribbon, Bella baubles.
Accessories: Double sided tape, SU Mini glue dots.

My father recently passed away with an IRA at a credit union in 3 CDs. My mother is the sole beneficiary. They are both on an automatic RMD plan that takes the distribution in mid Dec of each year.
The credit union plans to transfer my dads CD amount to one of my mothers CDs and to take the RMD for both accounts from her IRA (contains 5 CDs in same credit union plus the addition of my dads) in mid Dec this year as always. Is there any problem with doing it this way?
After your dads death, no RMDs should be paid using his Social Security number because the funds belong to the IRA beneficiary. Your mother can elect to treat your dads IRA as her own and then take his RMDs from her IRA.
I have been told that beneficiary IRAs are not pooled with other non-Roth IRAs when it comes to the pro-rata rule on Roth conversions because the beneficiary IRA is considered to still be in the name of the decedent. Is this true?
Yes. Beneficiary IRAs are treated separately for purposes of the pro-rata rule from your own IRAs. Roth IRAs are treated separately from your own IRAs as well as any beneficiary IRAs.

The national vice chairman (South-South) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Steve Oru, has been shot by unknown gunmen. He was promptly rushed to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH),Benin City, where, up until press time, he was lying in critical condition.
Although security agencies could not easily establish who was behind the attack, unofficial sources linked it to armed robbery. Oru was shot at while travelling from Warri to Ughelli in Delta State.
One of his aides who confirmed the attack to LEADERSHIP WEEKEND said that the PDP chief was shot from the back with an AK 47, adding that the bullet hit his collar bone, pierced through his intestines and passed out.
It was also learnt that the mobile police orderly attached to him was not lucky: he was shot dead. The incident, which occurred on February 3, 2013, has been kept from the public glare.
PDP national publicity secretary Chief Olisa Metuh confirmed the incident yesterday.
Meanwhile, the face-off between President Goodluck Jonathan and former president Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday took a turn for the worse with the removal of the PDP national auditor, Chief Bode Mustapha, from the party's National Working Committee (NWC) and the nullification of the South-West zonal congress conducted in March 2012. Most of the winners of the cancelled congress were loyalists of Obasanjo.
The removal of Chief Mustapha came on the heels of the removal of the PDP national secretary, Chief Olagunsoye Oyinlola, by the Federal High Court, Abuja. He is another protege of the former president.
Though Oyinlola is in court challenging his removal, his photographs in the offices at the party's national secretariat in Abuja have been removed, his office locked and his personal staff numbering about 19 asked not to come near the secretariat.
Factions loyal to President Jonathan and Obasanjo are locked in a supremacy battle over the control of the party, including its Board of Trustees (BoT) and the NWC. Party watchers believe that what is playing out is a game plan to neutralise the former president's influence in the party ahead of the 2015 general elections.
In a statement signed by Metuh, the PDP yesterday confirmed the sack of Chief Mustapha and the dissolution of the South-West congress conducted in March 2012.
The party said that Mr Fatai Adewole Adeyanju was the "validly elected national auditor of the PDP".
The NWC of the party, which met on Thursday and presided over by the PDP national chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, according to the statement, deliberated mainly on the Ogun State exco and the South-West exco.
The party's statement reads:
"Following protracted dispute on the Ogun State and South-West zonal exco of the party, a series of suits were filed on the matter, amongst which include FHC/L/CS/1248/2011, FHC/L/CS/282/2012 and FHC/L/CS/347/2012.
-That Chief Bode Mustapha is removed from office as the national auditor of the PDP;
-That Alhaji Fatai Adewole Adeyanju is the validly elected national auditor of the PDP;
-That the PDP is to rectify its records by deleting the name of Chief Bode Mustapha as national auditor and replacing the same with Alhaji Fatai Adewole Adeyanju;
-That the South-West zonal congress of the PDP conducted in March 2012 is nullified;
-That the executive committee constituted for the PDP in Ogun State at congresses conducted by the Bashorun Dayo Soremi-led harmonised executive committee for the wards, local governments and the state in March 2012 are valid exco of the party at the various levels in Ogun State and are entitled to their 4-year tenure;
-That the PDP is to organise a fresh South-West zonal congress at which access is to be given to delegates elected at congresses conducted by or under the supervision of the Soremi-led Ogun State executive and accept the candidacy, for offices zoned to Ogun State, of only the persons nominated at the said congresses for the said offices.
-The National Working Committee of the party met on 14th February, 2013 and gave careful consideration to the issues and decided that, in line with respect to the rule of law which is a cardinal principle of the present administration, the PDP as a law-abiding party, will immediately comply with the said judgement. This is all the more so that same has not been set aside or reversed by any superior court."

Suzuki Swift Sport vs. Mini Cooper
You don't need prodigious power or mega money to have serious fun…
Posted: 09 Mar 2012
On a back-road thrash - which is what we came for - there are times when the Mini's special proportions and suspension pay dividends. Because you sit low, when you hit lumps you're not pitched about so much. Besides, the more sophisticated suspension geometry means that you don't get knocked off-course by bumps and cambers, like you sometimes do in the Swift. That's not to say that the Mini goes placidly over a bad road: the suspension doesn't have much travel, so the ride has to be firm. In the Swift, you're bobbed about more, because you're perched higher. It looks a high, narrow car, and that's sometimes how it feels.
But the Swift is a proper laugh. The steering's very natural in its gearing and weighting, and it gets results. There's not much nose weight to support or torque to transmit, so the front tyres aren't exactly stressed out. So they can nudge it into a corner with playful ease, and the back wheels follow urgently along. It's grippy and sharp and exact. You're always kept engaged, working your course, making sure you're in the right gear to keep the cammy engine on its mettle.

Intellectual Property
Alcon Research Ltd. V. Barr Laboratories, Inc.
Date Filed:
Case #: 2012-1340, 2012-1341
U.S. Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit
Full Text Opinion: http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/images/stories/opinions-orders/12-1340.Opinion.3-12-2014.1.PDF
LexisNxis Link: 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 5023
Westlaw Link: 2014 WL 1013076
Patents: Patent Infringement: When Barr challenged Alcon's patent, it did not show with clear and convincing evidence that a person of ordinary skill in the art could not practice the claim without undue experimentation, which is required to prove lack of enablement.
Opinion (Lourie): Alcon Research Ltd. ("Alcon") owns the '287 and '062 patents describing methods of using polyethoxylated castor oil ("PECO") to stabilize prostaglandin compositions used in various drugs. Alcon filed suit against Barr Laboratories, Inc. ("Barr") alleging Barr's ANDA filing infringed on '287, '062, '383, and '052. However, Alcon never asserted its '383 or '052 patents at trial. The trial court found that Barr's ANDA did not infringe either '287 or '062 because Alcon did not present evidence that tested Barr's product directly and that the test results Alcon did rely upon to prove infringement could be attributed to a number of factors other than the use of PECO. The trial court also held Alcon's claims as invalid for lack of enablement and lack of written description, and denied Barr's motion for JMOL of noninfringement of '383 and '052. Everyone appealed. The Court of Appeals found that the composition of Barr's generic ANDA product was significantly different from the compositions tested in Alcon's study and that Alcon itself admitted that variations in composition can have a substantial impact on the chemical stability of a prostaglandin formulation. Therefore, the Court affirmed noninfringement of '287 and '062. Under §112 of the patent statute, a patent must contain a written description of the invention, and specify the manner of making and using it "to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, . . . to make and use the same . . . ." Regarding any lack of a written description, the Court found that Alcon's '287 and '062 patents both had sufficiently detailed written descriptions. Regarding any lack of enablement, the Court found that Barr did not present any evidence to show that a person of ordinary skill in the art could not practice the claim without undue experimentation. Therefore, the Court reversed the §112 invalid claim holding. Finally, because Barr never filed counterclaims seeking declaratory judgment of non-infringement, they did not preserve their ability to seek an adjudication of the '383 and '052 patents after neither party litigated them. Because neither party fairly placed the '383 and '052 patents in issue during trial, the Court found the lower court did not abuse its discretion in denying Barr's motion for JMOL. AFFIRMED IN PART and REVERSED IN PART.

Aeros ring in new year with win over Barons
By Heather Galindo | January 1, 2013 | Updated: January 1, 2013 10:00pm
Aeros center Carson McMillan looks to control the puck in Tuesday's win. (Morris Molina/Houston) Aeros
Despite an Oklahoma City lineup that read more like an NHL roster, the Aeros continued to thwart the Baron's high-flying offense Tuesday with a 4-2 win.
Though both teams boast elite, young NHL talent and nearly identical records for the season, the Aeros lead the 12-game season series 6-1.
Jason Zucker scored twice for Houston, including the game-winner, and earned 3 points overall in the effort.
"There's a lot of talent. I think there were nine first-round draft picks out on the ice tonight," Aeros coach John Torchetti said. "It's fun to watch, as long as you're on the winning end."
The Aeros were routed by the Barons 6-0 last New Year's Day, and it looked like history might repeat itself as the Aeros got off to a slow start, outshot 8-1 midway through the first.
Taking advantage of the only power play in the first period, the Barons' Taylor Hall scored his 12th of the season, one-timing a back door feed from Jordan Eberle.
"I was sweating in the first period. I thought we were still having a New Year's party," Torchetti said. "But we got our legs going and we started to care about playing defensive hockey."
The Aeros took the lead with goals from Zucker and Charlie Coyle in the first 5 minutes of the second period. Mikael Granlund earned assists on both markers.
With the first two goals of the game, Hall and Zucker moved into a tie for first in the league in power-play markers with 8 each.
Eberle tied the game midway through the second with a power-play goal, his second point of the night.
The Aeros carried the momentum into the third period, however, and Zucker's second of the night, an unassisted shot from the high slot, held up as the game-winner.
Johan Larsson found Oklahoma City's empty net on a pass from Zucker to seal the deal with 1:11 remaining.

At an afternoon hearing convened here by the Senate Commerce Committee, Chairman Ted Stevens, an Alaska Republican, lashed out at an adult entertainment industry representative, saying that the industry needs to take swift moves to devise a rating system and to clearly mark all its material as "adult only."
"I think any adult producer would agree," said Paul Cambria, counsel to the Adult Freedom Foundation, which represents companies offering "lawful adult-oriented entertainment." It would just be a matter of organizing the industry, he added.
"My advice is you tell your clients they better do it soon, because we'll mandate it if they don't," Stevens said.
Though it wasn't mentioned at the hearing, Web browsers have long supported the Internet standard called PICS, or Platform for Internet Content Selection. Internet Explorer, for instance, permits parents to disable access to Web sites rated as violent or sexually explicit.
Many adult Web sites have voluntarily labeled themselves as sexually explicit. Playboy.com and Penthouse.com, for instance, rate themselves using a variant of PICS created by the nonprofit Internet Content Rating Association.
In addition, mandatory rating systems have frequently been struck down by courts as an affront to the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of expression. Judges have ruled it unconstitutional for governments to enforce the Motion Picture Association of America's movie-rating system. The Supreme Court has said that the right to speak freely encompasses the right not to speak--including the right not to be forced to self-label.
Sen. Blanche Lincoln, an Arkansas Democrat, talked up her bill that she and a handful of Democrats announced last year. It proposes a 25 percent excise tax on revenue from most adult-oriented sites and a requirement that all such sites use an age-verification system.
"Too few adult Web sites are taking the extra step to create another obstacle, another barrier, that can keep youngsters from accessing or stumbling on pornography," Lincoln said.
The proposals at Thursday's hearing were uncannily reminiscent of similar complaints from politicians a decade ago. In January 1996, Congress approved the Communications Decency Act, which was soundly rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court. Congress also approved a ban on computer-generated child pornography--which was also shot down by the justices on free-speech grounds.
The hearing occurred one day after U.S. Justice Department lawyers filed paperwork in a California federal court in an attempt to force Google to turn over logs from its search engine. The reason, the Justice Department said, is to prepare for an October 2006 trial over a lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union challenging the Child Online Protection Act.
That 1998 law, which restricts the posting of sexually explicit material deemed "harmful to minors" on commercial Web sites, was effectively frozen through a 2004 Supreme Court decision. The justices forwarded it back to a lower court for a full trial.
"On the Google case, what is your reaction to Google's position that (the Justice Department's request) is an invasion of their privacy?" Sen. Daniel Innouye, the committee's top-ranking Democrat, asked Bush administration representatives.
Deputy Assistant Attorney General Laura Parsky declined to comment, saying it was a dispute currently before the courts.
Parsky and an FBI official applauded the idea of new laws, saying they would welcome additional tools from Congress but were doing the best with what they had now.
But congressional intervention has historically "provided anything but a panacea to the availability of pornography online," said Tim Lordan, executive director of the Internet Education Foundation, a nonprofit group that counts representatives from America Online, VeriSign and the World Wide Web Consortium among its board members.
Sen. Inouye of Hawaii took a similarly cautious stance, pointing to a poll that said 70 percent of parents were concerned about pornography but at the same time didn't want the government to step in.
"My concern is that this matter has incensed members of Congress to agree that if the industry is not going to act upon it, Congress will," he said. "And often times Congress does a lousy job."

- The internet isn't, but
- They can regulate the US-based servers. For the others, I suppose they will want to block them from US Internet users. Kind of like communist China does...
Or, we can place the majority of the blame on poor parenting like they should. Some regulation to help parental control software identify sites would be a good idea, but we should be putting the pressure on the parents to parent the children, and not let the government do it for them.

executive power. Congress will pass whatever media regulations it
wishes. How quaint is the memory that governmental media control
was once based on scarcity. We have no scarcity but the lichens are
still regulating.
Who promotes violence more aggressively than congress? The

- Republican hypocricy?
- Are the Republicans who want an "adult only" label on all explicit content the same Republicans who are opposed to a new .XXX top level domain? Surely a .XXX domain name would solve all our information categorization issues in the simplest and most user-friendly way? Maybe religion is getting in the way somewhere...

- XXX No solution
- Adults viewing pornography is no social problem, and therefore
not a matter for politicians. Child pornography is unlikely to be
reduced by implementing an XXX domain, for the same reason
that gun control doesn't reduce gun-related crimes: criminals
don't obey rules. Perps can set up anyplace in the world,
using .com domains, or whatever they need to further their
trade. In addition, given the financial incentives, if efforts to
segregate or otherwise control the web are imposed, entirely
new technologies will probably emerge.
It is a damned frustrating problem, and there isn't much to be
done beyond giving severe sentences to child abusers, and
hoping that parents will be instructive and vigilant.
As it usually does, congress will probably find a way to make the
matter worse.

- The real problem here....
- The real problem here isn't pornography online, it's the thousands of private sites that give it away for free, that don't make you put a credit card up to view the stuff. That's what makes it easy for kids to find it. That coupled with a pervasive trend by the adult consumer to misguidedly believe that they should get it for free is the core of the problem. Adult content should NOT be free. If you're not willing to put your credit card on the line, then you need to keep your d**k in your pants.

Excuse me twit porn is already rated. It is rated X up to XXX. Has been for sometime. What they want sub-ratings? How about holding the kids responcible for what they choose to view on the web. How about holding parents responcible as well.
People under 18 know they shouldn't be viewing the stuff. Maybe like so many other minor infractions these days that are now felonies under 18 viewing of porn should have a manditory 5 year federal prision sentence.

- This is just usual politics pandering to right-wing fundamentalists. If he really cared about children, he would increase educational spending, help disadvantaged children get medical care they need, and commit to real, tangible actions that would ensure each child has a bright future. No, he and his fellow congressmen care about pushing their right-wing agenda, not children as they claim.
Since anything related to sex or erotic images is evil to them, they really just want to put as many regulations and restrictions on the porn industry as they can to make it harder for them to do business. If they can't completely ban pornography (yet) this is the next best thing.

- Government Dunce Cap Award
- I believe that there ought to be a government dunce cap award for any politician that believes sex is the root cause of America's problems. If politicians
were as zealous in the pursuit of poor parenting, they might find someone who believes in their cause.
But it's clear that more government in the name of parenting is not the answer.
As for a practical solution to keeping kids away from porn, there are a lot of ideas but few workable solutions. The idea of providing a credit card doesn't work---not only does this option open wide the door for phishing scams, but kids can easily copy information from Dad's wallet while he's asleep. A .xxx domain name isn't practical---how long does it take kids to figure out how to type .xxx? One of the ideas I thought of is to use a fingerprint scan. Fingerprint scanners are quite affordable---Microsoft has one on a keyboard for under $100. That way, when a porn site comes up, it asks for fingerprint identification---it would be pretty difficult for kids to cheat with fingerprints.

AMARILLO -- On September 13 at 2:45 p.m., an APD COPPS officer conducted a traffic stop in the 900 block of S Osage.
After talking with the driver, 28-year-old Kelly Dean Brown, the officer recognized Brown as being a wanted fugitive and asked him to step out of the car. As the officer was beginning the process of handcuffing the driver, the subject slipped away and took off running.
The officer took off after the suspect and caught him a short distance away and a struggle ensued with the suspect fighting with the officer. At one point during the struggle, the suspect managed to elbow strike the officer in the face causing him to become disorientated and dazed. Eventually the officer was able to place the suspect in handcuffs and was placed in the back seat of a patrol car.
During the pat down search of the suspect, officers located a small Ziploc baggie containing a crystal substance believed to meth, a digital scale, and two folding pocket knives. A search of the vehicle revealed a stolen Ruger 9mm pistol in the console.
Brown was arrested and transported to Potter County Correction Center where he was booked on the following charges: aggravated assault on a public servant, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, unlawful possession of firearm by a felon, and an outstanding Randall county warrant for fraud illegal use of a credit card.

How Developers Can Add Longevity to a Game Without Really Trying
A lot of gamers will agree that one of the best attributes a video game can have is replayability. It doesn't matter how great a game is, if it's a short experience and you never want to come back to it then you didn't get much for your money. I've played far too many video games with fantastic game mechanics and story lines, but once I finished them I never touched them again. It doesn't have to be this way.
Developers need to learn that there are some simple, albeit sneaky, tricks to get the most out of their games without spending extra months creating new levels. There can be plenty of reasons to keep playing a game after it's been properly beaten. Here is a list of methods I've seen other games use to double and sometimes even triple the play time without working too hard to achieve it.
This one speaks for itself. After you've completed the game, or even just a single level, give the player the option to try again and shoot for the best time. Yoshi's Island 2 for Nintendo DS used this trick to amazing success. After you beat every level, you unlock the option to do it all over again as fast as humanly possible. It provides double the hours of gameplay, at least, and you can continue to improve your times for as long as you have the game. Racing games use this tactic best, but any game can implement it.
Similar to the Time Attack method. More developers need to put arcade mechanics into their games. I want to have incentive to play levels again and high scores are the perfect way to do it. You want the player to keep coming back to get a better score, so it's important to ensure that every session has a chance to break the record—and you want to have lots of levels with leader boards of their own to keep the score grind from getting old. I can get endless play from a "beaten" game as long as it has high scores, because I only continue to compete against myself—or other people online if the game has that feature. Puzzle games use this trick the most, but it can be made to work with almost any game.
This one might require a teensy bit more work than simply slapping a timer or a score onto levels you've already designed, but it's still not as intensive as creating whole new levels and worlds. All you have to do is include some unlockable items for the player to collect—that they won't automatically collect on the first run of the game. This could mean adding alternate costumes and skins for the main characters to wear that you can't get in the first run—or new special power-ups and items. Kirby games use this trick the best. In Kirby's Amazing Mirror, beating the final boss gives you Meta Knight's super-powered sword, and it's a blast to go back through slashing up enemies with ease. In Kirby Squeak Squad, you can unlock the Ghost power, which allows Kirby to possess enemies—another great incentive to dive back into the game after you think you're done with it. Kirby Canvas Curse lets you play through the entire game four extra times, because you can play as Waddle Dee, Waddle Doo, King DeDeDe and Meta Knight—all with alterations to the game's physics to keep it fresh.
One of the easiest on the list to implement. When the game is totally finished and everything is resolved, all you have to do is create a few new ending sequences to entice the player to start all over again—hoping to see an altered conclusion to the story based on new decisions they make the second time around. The Mass Effect games are most famous for pulling off this trick, although lots of ambitious adventure games have done it successfully.
This is a rare one. Some especially brilliant developers out there have come up with creative ways to vary the game play in a way that provides endless possibilities. If the game has a randomization function, certain aspects can change completely according to the computer's whims. This can mean randomized dungeons in games like Diablo 3, or randomized levels in Cloudberry Kingdom, or randomized terrain in Minecraft. One of the most impressive uses of this trick was in F-Zero for the Nintendo 64, which featured a mode that used some special algorithm to randomize tracks—so you're never driving on the same course twice. Milder versions of this method can be applied as well; like in New Super Mario Bros. 2's Coin Rush mode, which randomly lines up three levels and challenges you to get as many coins as possible.
Some of these tricks may seem like cheap ways to spread a game thin, but no one's forcing you to keep playing. Personally, I get extremely excited when I find a game has alternate modes—especially if it allows me to keep playing forever! Of course, there are some pretty standard ways to expand the longevity of the game, such as harder difficulties and multiplayer modes—but I didn't include those because almost every game has that already.
Hopefully this post has inspired you to go out and find those treasure games that you'll never want to sell. Or maybe I've inspired you to appreciate those extra modes in some of your favorite games that you thought were a waste of time. Remember, if it's a good game you'll never really beat it.

Jaela Dinsmore '12
Current News
NCAA honors Willamette alumnna this year for her athletic, scholastic prowess
Sprinter Jaela Dinsmore '12 represented Willamette both academically and athletically at this year's NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
In addition to finishing 5th in the finals of the 100-meter dash, Dinsmore received the NCAA Elite 89 Award for her outstanding academic record.
Each year the Elite 89 Award is given to the competitor with the highest grade point average at each of the NCAA's 89 national championship events. Dinsmore — a Latin American studies and Spanish double major— qualified for the honor by achieving a 3.99 GPA while at Willamette.
"I feel blessed (my Willamette experience) ended on such a high note," Dinsmore says. "I was continually challenged to be a better version of myself by my professors and coaches, who inspired me to set high goals and work hard to achieve them."
Dinsmore capped off her athletic career with a personal record time of 11.95 seconds in the finals of the 100-meter dash. Her 5th-place finish gained her All-America status, an honor reserved for the top eight runners in the event. She also set a personal record time in the preliminary heats of the 200-meter dash, earning her 11th place in that event.
Dinsmore's honors at this year's national championship add to her long list of academic and athletic accomplishments.
She finished her athletic career ranked 2nd on Willamette's all-time Top 10 list for the 100- and 200-meter dash, and she is ranked 6th all time in the 400-meter dash.
Dinsmore received Third Team Capital One Academic All-America and First Team Capital One Academic All-District honors in 2011, and she was nominated for the recognitions again this season. This year, Dinsmore also was honored as the Women's Senior Scholar-Athlete at Willamette for having the highest cumulative GPA among graduating women student-athletes.
Dinsmore says she's grateful she had the opportunity to compete at the national level and achieve her goals.
"My experience at Willamette, both on the track and in the classroom, has shown me the importance of keeping a positive attitude when things get bumpy, and that I can always work toward improving myself," she says. "Being here has instilled in me the desire to constantly pursue excellence in all aspects of life, for the rest of my life."
Dinsmore is the second Willamette athlete to receive an NCAA Elite Award. Chris Platano '10 was the Elite 88 winner at the 2009 men's cross country championships. Since then, the NCAA has added an 89th national championship.

Gortok Palehoof and his menagerie of stuffed death came alive on Lavanthor in this week's Two Bosses Enter Thunderdome. The puppy barked up just 29% of the reader vote under Palehoof and Company's onslaught. Rai calls it for the winning team:
Rai: Both Gortok and Lavanthor are essentially fighting for their freedom, as that's the situation they are faced with when you fight them in their respective instances. This might be an important point.
As long as Lavanthor is stronger than each individual minion of Gortok, he should have no problem killing them in any order, until Gortok himself enters the fray. By this point, Lavanthor will be injured. Lavanthor would create some more distance between the pair, and the battle would become a fire-spittin', spear-throwin' ranged showdown.
Assuming the spears aren't fireproof, with some careful aim (who am I kidding? lava spat all over the place), a lot of them might not even reach Lavanthor. However, Gortok would have been using Withering Roar this entire time, so Lavanthor's health is getting lower and lower ...
A stray spear works around the lava and hits Lavanthor between the eyes. The puppy is down, but it's very close. If Gortok is lucky, he won't die from his burn injuries.
Lastly, Gortok with his spear. He'll throw it, but Mr. Imafreakingcorehound just thinks he's playing fetch. Lavanthor will be bloodied by the end of it, but he's a Core Hound and he can cope with it. Of course, if he was a Uvuros- or Kurken-skinned Core Hound, he'd be thrashed before Gortok even woke up. Thus is the power and sheer coolness of the Core Hound.
James: This is an interesting match-up, but I'll explain why our victor is the clear win.
Round 1 Lavanthor goes up against Furbolg. First, the Furbolg would do a relatively large amount of damage while hitting both heads with his Chain Lightning. The fear also works against Lavanth, because both heads would be feared in two completely different directions. In Lavanth's defense, the Furbolg will go down quickly while stacking the fire debuff and the melee/fire breath. Not much health is lost between Lavanth.
Round 2 Lavanthor goes up against Rhino. First, the Rhino will immediately charge Lavanth, placing the first DoT on him. Not to mention that the Stomp will add to this, the Rhino will do a lot of damage, but like the Furbolg, will go down very quickly. Moderate amount of damage done.
Round 3 Lavanthor goes up against Jormungar. Firstly, the giant bug will take tons of damage. The bug will be roasted with the fire, and the poison won't do much damage. When the adds spawn, they won't be a problem at all, as the fire breath will roast them the moment they come up. Minor amount of damage done.
Round 4 Lavanthor goes up against Worgen. This is the kicker, right now. The Worgen will just go ass-crazy on that doggy. Not much to it other than hard damage. The Worgen will go down, but Lavanth will be very close to death. High damage done.
Round 5 Lavanthor goes up against Gortok Palehoof. Right off the bat, Lavanth is wore down with DoTs, poisons and massive physical damage. The Impale mixed with the cleave and the roar will leave poor old Lavanthor a trophy on the wall.
Final verdict Gortok Palehoof wins by a large margin. He initially starts out with the same amount of health as Lavanthor at the start of the gauntlet.
Gortokk: "ZERGGGG HIM BOYS!"
Lavanthor: Q_Q

You'll see that the exercises are colour-coded according to level of ability. Within each exercise you'll be given an explanation of what it's good for, related exercises and a brief overview of what's involved. By tapping on the image you'll be able to enlarge the images.
NOTE: For instruction on how to do each exercise please refer to the book. The images here are provided as an aide-mémoire only.
Many images have tips that remind you of key things you should bear in mind when exercising. Tips are indicated by a speech-bubble icon in the bottom right-hand corner. On occasion, you'll also see a 'Common mistakes' tab. This will remind you of the usual errors you need to avoid when doing this exercise.
At the top of the screen there are three icons:
'add' – puts the exercise into a session (see below).
'favourite' – marks the exercise as a favourite. Favourites can be viewed from the Exploring Exercises screen.
'share' – allows you to share exercises on a social network or via email.
Building your sessions
Key to your My Pilates Guru experience is the ability to use the app to build sessions. You can build your own sessions or access those that are in the book.
The 'Sessions' tab will take you through to a screen with three options:
* 'Suggested Sessions' – these are the exercise routines found in the back section of the book. These are specially designed by the author for particular focus on different elements, such as abdominals, better posture or an evening wind down. There are three different time bands for each: 15-, 30- and 45-minute sessions.
* 'My Session' – allows you to build your own bespoke sessions (see below).
* 'All Sessions' – allows you to view all the sessions you have adapted.
Advice on building your exercise sessions can be found in the book.
Tracking your progress
The My Pilates Guru app also records your activities in the 'My Results' section of the Main Menu. Here you'll be able to see which exercises and sessions you've done and what they've been good for. This is a useful tool for enabling you to balance your workouts and achieve a good all-round exercise regime.
You'll also be able to monitor your progress by entering your weight and height from which it will calculate your Body Mass Index. Adding your weight to this screen regularly will enable you to monitor changes.
The My Guru package is easy to navigate and incredibly useful for anyone who wants Pilates advice wherever they are.
Enjoy the My Guru experience and a new, healthier, you.
