In the quicklook, when you walk into the house, there's some weird artifacting or compression on the walls of the house. Even Ryan and Patrick pointed it out during the quicklook. I downloaded the PS3 demo and I noticed it while playing. I downloaded the 360 version and didn't see any issues on the walls. I want to get the PS3 version because of the value of the season pass, but if this is a issue throughout the game, I probably won't. So anyone who bought the PS3 version, does it show up throughout the entire episode or was it just that house?
Any compression issues on the PS3 version?

SAN FRANCISCO — Google, owner of the world's most popular search engine, is also a dominant real estate deal maker that's expanding its office space while nationwide demand from more traditional tenants wanes.
The company signed the year's biggest leases in California's Silicon Valley and San Francisco and agreed to a fourfold jump of its space in Chicago, according to brokerage Cushman & Wakefield Inc. A pending deal in Manhattan for about 360,000 square feet (33,000 square meters) would be the biggest in midtown south, the area where Google bought a converted freight terminal for $1.84 billion almost three years ago.
"Google is a monster engine everywhere, and we're pretty thankful they're in our world," said Bob Chodos, a principal at brokerage Colliers International in Chicago, where recent leases brought the technology giant's total space in the city to 807,000 square feet. "Companies like that draw other companies and create places where people want to do business."
With its share price soaring beyond $1,000, Mountain View, Calif.-based Google is leading the way among growing technology companies that are making some of the biggest leasing deals while financial firms and other office-using industries cut back. U.S. office rent increases have slowed for three straight quarters, data from Reis Inc. show.
Manhattan deals
In New York, Google has a tentative deal at Related Cos.'s 85 10th Ave. in Chelsea, according to a person with knowledge of the terms. Joanna Rose, a spokeswoman for New York-based Related, declined to comment.
The building is in the neighborhood where Google purchased 111 Eighth Ave. in December 2010. That deal unleashed a wave of sales and leasing by technology companies in midtown south, now the city's best submarket for rent growth. The vacancy rate of 7.6 percent in the third quarter was the lowest of any U.S. business district, Cushman & Wakefield data show.
"There's no question that it's the healthiest portion of Manhattan, with lots of appeal to tech and creative companies," said Jed Reagan of Newport Beach, California-based Green Street.
In 2005, a group led by Shorenstein Properties LLC paid $438 million for the Starrett-Lehigh Building, also in midtown south, as commercial real estate prices surged toward their peak. The San Francisco-based developer expected to keep the 2.2 million-square-foot property for the long term to meet its yield targets, according to Chairman Doug Shorenstein. Then after a single deal, the market took off.
"I saw what Google paid" on Eighth Avenue, he said.
Shorenstein changed his plans. In April 2011, the group sold the Starrett-Lehigh Building to Scott Rechler's RXR Realty LLC for $920 million, more than doubling its investment.
Areas that attract and retain innovative companies -- including Silicon Valley, Boston, San Francisco and Seattle -- are defying the torpor, with rents 12 percent higher than the U.S. average, according to Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. Half of 23 million square feet of office projects under way will be occupied by technology firms, an outsized demand for an industry with just 3.3 percent of private-sector jobs, the brokerage said in an August report.
This year, Google took 350,000 square feet in San Francisco to expand its Hills Plaza lease, 901,000 square feet in Silicon Valley near its headquarters in Mountain View, and 232,000 square feet in Chicago, according to Cushman. An expanded hub for engineers working on Google's Chrome browser will almost double the company's space near Seattle, data from Cushman show.
The company's expansion in San Francisco, Silicon Valley and the Seattle area are a "key driver of strength" in commercial real estate, said Green Street's Reagan.
The locations are the top three markets for technology job growth, venture-capital funding and college- educated workers, according to Jones Lang LaSalle.
Cutting edge
Third-quarter profit rose 36 percent from a year earlier to $2.97 billion, after higher ad volume across platforms, Google said on Oct. 17. The shares surged past $1,000 the next day, and are up 44 percent this year. With a market value of about $341 billion, the company is the world's biggest after Apple and Exxon Mobil.
Google aims to "increase the velocity and the execution" of product development while keeping "the passion and soul of a startup as we grow," Larry Page, chief executive officer since 2011, said during an earnings conference call. "When you look across the company, it's amazing how all the teams are executing."
The 180,000-square-foot expansion of the Chrome campus in Kirkland is a boon to the area, even with homegrown Microsoft and Amazon.com based nearby, said David Postman, press secretary to Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who attended a March event announcing the project.
The Seattle region's 112,000 technology jobs account for 11 percent of total employment in the area, the largest share for any market outside Silicon Valley or San Francisco, according to the Jones Lang LaSalle report.
"When Google says, 'We want to be here,' it validates this area," Postman said in a phone interview. "The high-tech industry is changing every day, and it's all about staying on the cutting edge."

WALLA WALLA -- Students in Walla Walla Public Schools will have another option for earning a high school diploma starting this fall.
The district is re-establishing the Opportunity Program, an off-site, contract-based alternative learning program geared for high school students needing to earn more credits, looking for more scheduling options, or for fifth- and sixth-year seniors. Located at the district's office, 364 S. Park St., the program will offer flexible hours, basic academic and elective courses, and weekly one-on-one time with instructors.
The district's former Opportunity Program, housed at 919 S. Second Ave., was closed shortly after Jim Sporleder took over leadership of the district's alternative programs in 2007. Sporleder consolidated the programs at Lincoln High School, formerly Paine School, to include the Opportunity Program.
Lincoln, known as Lincoln Alternative until recently, was reclassified as a more traditional high school last year, losing the alternative designation. But alternative learning options were still offered through the district. Contract-based learning options have been available to Lincoln and Walla Walla High School students needing credits.
Former Opportunity Program teachers Tom Porter and Jerry Quaresma are returning to the program to serve as teachers and student advisors.
The relaunching of the Opportunity Program is just one of several options local students have for earning diplomas. Besides traditional options at Wa-Hi and Lincoln, and the contract-based learning offered at those schools, there is also the Alternative Education Program at Walla Walla Community College geared for older students needing more flexibility with their schedules.
With the relaunching of Opportunity, the district hopes to reach students who are at risk of slipping from the district, and to reach out to old students who may have dropped out but are still in a position to earn a high school degree.
Qualifying students will have an individualized written plan and take between one and three classes. Classes will be one hour per day per class either four or five days per week, in a learning lab setting. A student could attend between four and 20 hours per week, with a work commitment at home as well.
Student are also expected to attend a 30-minute, one-on-one teacher appointment each week for each class.
Students will meet weekly and monthly goals, rather than quarter or semester start and end times to earn credits.
Opportunity will start with the first day of school Sept. 4. For more information, contact Porter at 526-6785 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Judge-executive returning to work
Henderson County Judge-executive Hugh McCormick will be returning to work Monday after missing two weeks because of back surgery.
That means he'll be presiding over the next meeting of Henderson Fiscal Court. "I'll be in court Tuesday morning," he said. "I'm feeling pretty good and getting my strength back," although he'll probably be working shorter hours for a while.
McCormick fell Jan. 31 and slipped again a couple of weeks later, and since then had been in considerable pain. He had surgery April 18 to repair two ruptured disks in his back.
McCormick said his doctor "feels we should be on the road to recovery. I'm just looking forward to getting back there and seeing everybody."
The fiscal court meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in the top-floor meeting room of the Henderson County Courthouse. Items on the agenda include:
Recycling budget: Freddie Rowland, operations manager for Henderson Recycling, the partnership between the city and county governments, will present the agency's draft budget for 2013-14. The budget shows total expenses of $467,127, total revenue of $148,000 and a deficit of $319,127.
Public hearing: The court will conduct a hearing for funding it provides to the Women's Addiction Recovery Manor, better known as WARM.
DHP presentation: Beth Strawn, executive director of the Downtown Henderson Partnership, will make a presentation about the benefits the program has helped provide. For instance, in 2012 alone the downtown netted 39 new jobs and nine new businesses. Strawn earlier made a similar presentation to the Henderson City Commission.
Closed session: The court will go into an executive session to discuss the possible sale of surplus property.
Routine: The court will consider such things as payments from the county attorney and unspecified old business.

Report: UFC 162: Silva vs. Weidman Brings In Estimated 550,000 PPV Buys
When it comes to PPV buy rates we never really get disclosed true and accurate figures. However the one reliable and lone source for UFC pay-per-view figures has and always will be, Mr. Dave Meltzer.
When people talk of buys, stating this PPV did this amount and this one did that, it is all based on his industry intelligence. The UFC never confirms figures, nor do the broadcasters, however, Meltzer's time in the PPV business has gone on way before the UFC existed and therefore his estimates and contacts are widely considered as valid and on point.
With that being said, here is what he said via MMAFighting.com about UFC 162: Silva vs. Weidman:
While not reaching quite the levels that Dana White projected from trending patterns the night of the show, UFC 162, which featured Chris Weidman ending Anderson Silva's record setting win streak and taking his middleweight title, now looks to have done about 550,000 buys on pay-per-view based on industry sources.
The number would be in the same realm as UFC 159, on April 27, headlined by Jon Jones vs. Chael Sonnen for the light heavyweight title battling for the second-biggest number so far this year. UFC's high point was UFC 158, on March 16, headlined by Georges St-Pierre's welterweight title defense against Nick Diaz, which is estimated at doing 950,000 buys.
It's also well above the estimated 410,000 buys for Silva's fight with Stephan Bonnar in October, although that was a non-title fight at light heavyweight.
White had projected 800,000 buys for UFC 162 based on the factors he and the UFC use the week of the fight to measure interest. For whatever reason, Silva fights traditionally do better in projections. Both Sonnen fights and the Vitor Belfort fight also measured higher in projections before numbers came in than they ended up doing, although all three of those fights were significant successes, falling between 600,000 buys and 925,000.
4 Responses to "Report: UFC 162: Silva vs. Weidman Brings In Estimated 550,000 PPV Buys"
I don't think Anderson is gonna this rematch. Wrestlers are always bad matchups for him. He fades when he gets taken down and dominated. I even think he's not gonna win both super fights against GSP and Jones.
Silva just can't bring in the PPV numbers. Looks like Sonnen was his best friend. He sure was able to draw more money for Silva. Silva is just a taker and not a giver. Selfish metrosexual.
I just hope Weidman makes some cold hard cash.
Silva's PPV buys are less, b/c no one wants to pay $50 to see someone get ktfo in the 2nd round. with this upset, I can guarantee that the PPV's will increase when Silva reclaims his belt.

Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is urging the Federal Aviation Administration to rescind its ban on U.S. airline carriers flying to and from Ben Gurion Airport in Israel.
"Having recently returned from Israel," Villaraigosa said in a statement on July 23 to the Jewish Journal, "and especially being there when Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaar, and Naftali Frankel, three Israeli teenage boys, were kidnapped and killed, I want to publically commend Mayor Mike Bloomberg for his statement about flights to Israel. Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport is the best protected airport in the world and I join Mayor Bloomberg in demanding that the FAA reverse course and allow US airlines to fly to Israel. Allowing these flight restrictions to continue gives the terrorist organization Hamas a victory that they do not deserve."
As mayor of Los Angeles, Villaraigosa increased security cooperation between LA and Israel, and extended trade and business ties.

One of the arguments for intervention arising from the Syria strikes relies on a bit of sophistry.
No amount of rouge will ever camouflage rhetoric and sophistry.
"specious but fallacious reasoning," mid-14c., from Old French sophistrie (Modern French sophisterie), from Medieval Latin sophistria, from Latin sophista, sophistes (see sophist). "Sophistry applies to reasoning as sophism to a single argument" [Century Dictionary].

Was thinking about getting the thing but 25 sec wait to freakin spawn in the demo, waiting to spawn is just ignorant. I think I'll do them one better and wait to buy the game. If I buy a game I buy it to play not to sit inside it and wait, hell I can do that without payin 50-60 bucks so why would I buy this thing to sit for 20 seconds at a time to get back into the game. If all the FPS games are going this way I don't need to buy anymore high end video cards, I can just go sit in the Doctor or Dentist's office and get the same effect, atleast they have magazines to read.
Well obviously a very short/non spawn time would destroy the gameplay mechanic. The idea that when you die your our of the game for a bit allows the game to reflect the tide of war. Try not to die so often.
Also in regards to the 30FPS limit. You can only unlock the FPS when playing on an online server, or on another dedicated LAN server. When playing single player you are essentially a listen server for yourself so your running the same FPS as the server ie. 30.

Seriously, I'm glad Dana is thinking big picture like this. There's no reason to think the success of TUF couldn't be replicated on an international scale, particularly in underdeveloped markets. Reality TV is just as popular in some countries as it is here if not more so. PPV is a very small part of the equation. If the UFC could get TV deals in multiple nations via TUF, PPV would almost be rendered obsolete. Rather than lose money promoting shows abroad and having to export the whole UFC team, exporting the brand on a show where you don't have to pay the fighters and can play up their characters/story is brilliant. Having it culminate in an international GP is the icing on the cake. I get shivers just thinking about it.

International TUF airing in America and around the world would be amazing! One guy from like 16 countries, that's genius. With good scouting of prospects around the world this will work and fans response will be nothing but positive. I believe all the hate toward TUF is based on the quality of competition picked for the teams. It's supposed to be the top 16 prospects throughout the world getting a slot on that show. That really was the down fall of TUF.When you think about it UFC gives us 2 Grand Prix tournaments per year with 1 fight airing weekly over the period of 3 months. On paper that is a fight fans dream! The problem is quality of fighters, plain and simple. Do some good scouting Dana and you'll have a very successful International season!

Carolina De Robertis' debut novel explores the bonds of motherly love through generations
Spanning centuries, continents and the deep and hidden layers of the heart, "The Invisible Mountain" captured my attention from the very first page. And being the type of person who forgets to eat when a superbly written and fascinating tome captures my imagination, during the course of devouring this book I inadvertently lost three pounds.
"The Invisible Mountain" is set in the enchanting world of 20th century Uruguay—a country continuously overshadowed by its larger South American siblings, Argentina and Brazil. A paradox of a nation, Uruguay struggles to grow up and stand on its own two feet amidst world wars, civil unrest and military juntas. But this novel is not about a nation. The unforgettable story is that of women. Mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts—interwoven by and through their womanhood and connected by an inexorable string unraveling through generations. The first novel written by Carolina De Robertis, "The Invisible Mountain" has a voice that is both eerie and mystifying in the best way possible, and filled with relatable characters that are guaranteed to strike an intimate chord within.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) – A group of Oglala Lakota tribal members say they've gathered enough signatures to put a measure on the November ballot to rename Shannon County.
The Rapid City Journal reports that tribal organizers hope to rename the county that makes up the majority of the land on the Pine Ridge Reservation. The new proposed name is Oglala Lakota County.
Shannon County is named after Peter Shannon, a chief justice of the Dakota Territory Supreme Court who later helped negotiate land deals with the Lakota.
Tribal member Jesse Short Bull says the state didn't ask the Lakota people for input when it was named. He says they would've rejected naming it after Shannon.
Signatures for the referendum still need to be validated by the Fall River State's Attorney's office.

This invention relates generally to the field of phacoemulsification and more particularly to irrigation/aspiration ("I/A") systems used during phacoemulsification.
The human eye in its simplest terms functions to provide vision by transmitting light through a clear outer portion called the cornea, and focusing the image by way of the lens onto the retina. The quality of the focused image depends on many factors including the size and shape of the eye, and the transparency of the cornea and lens.
When age or disease causes the lens to become less transparent, vision deteriorates because of the diminished light which can be transmitted to the retina. This deficiency in the lens of the eye is medically known as a cataract. An accepted treatment for this condition is surgical removal of the lens and replacement of the lens function by an IOL.
In the United States, the majority of cataractous lenses are removed by a surgical technique called phacoemulsification. During this procedure, a thin phacoemulsification cutting tip is inserted into the diseased lens and vibrated ultrasonically. The vibrating cutting tip liquefies or emulsifies the lens so that the lens may be aspirated out of the eye. The diseased lens, once removed, is replaced by an artificial lens.
A typical ultrasonic surgical device suitable for ophthalmic procedures consists of an ultrasonically driven handpiece, an attached cutting tip, and irrigating sleeve and an electronic control console. The handpiece assembly is attached to the control console by an electric cable and flexible tubings. Through the electric cable, the console varies the power level transmitted by the handpiece to the attached cutting tip and the flexible tubings supply irrigation fluid to and draw aspiration fluid from the eye through the handpiece assembly.
The operative part of the handpiece is a centrally located, hollow resonating bar or horn directly attached to a set of piezoelectric crystals. The crystals supply the required ultrasonic vibration needed to drive both the horn and the attached cutting tip during phacoemulsification and are controlled by the console. The crystal/horn assembly is suspended within the hollow body or shell of the handpiece by flexible mountings. The handpiece body terminates in a reduced diameter portion or nosecone at the body's distal end. The nosecone is externally threaded to accept the irrigation sleeve. Likewise, the horn bore is internally threaded at its distal end to receive the external threads of the cutting tip. The irrigation sleeve also has an internally threaded bore that is screwed onto the external threads of the nosecone. The cutting tip is adjusted so that the tip projects only a predetermined amount past the open end of the irrigating sleeve.
In use, the ends of the cutting tip and irrigating sleeve are inserted into a small incision of predetermined width in the cornea, sclera, or other location. The cutting tip is ultrasonically vibrated along its longitudinal axis within the irrigating sleeve by the crystal-driven ultrasonic horn, thereby emulsifying the selected tissue in situ. The hollow bore of the cutting tip communicates with the bore in the horn that in turn communicates with the aspiration line from the handpiece to the console. A reduced pressure or vacuum source in the console draws or aspirates the emulsified tissue from the eye through the open end of the cutting tip, the cutting tip and horn bores and the aspiration line and into a collection device. The aspiration of emulsified tissue is aided by a saline flushing solution or irrigant that is injected into the surgical site through the small annular gap between the inside surface of the irrigating sleeve and the cutting tip.
One possible complication associated with cataract surgery is anterior chamber collapse following an occlusion break. Occlusion of the phacoemulsification tip can occur when a piece of lens material fully covers the distal aspiration port. When an occlusion occurs, vacuum can build in the system aspiration line so that when the occlusion eventually breaks, a sudden surge occurs, drawing fluid and lens material out of the eye and into tip aspiration port. When fluid is draw out of the eye faster than it can be replaced, the eye can soften and collapse.
One way to reduce surge after an occlusion break is to reduce the compliance in the aspiration system. By reducing compliance, vacuum build-up during an occlusion is reduced. However, as flexible tubings are used to connect the handpiece to the surgical console, there will always be some compliance in the aspiration system.
Another prior art method involves increasing the size of the irrigation line. While not addressing the size of any post-occlusion fluid surge directly, a larger irrigation line allows for large irrigation fluid flows, so that any vacuum build-up in the eye is more easily quenched, thereby reducing the risk of anterior chamber collapse. Larger irrigation lines, however, can make the handpiece more difficult to hold and control.
Therefore, a need continues to exist for a simple and reliable irrigation/aspiration system that reduces fluid flow surges.
The present invention improves upon the prior art by providing a surgical system with irrigation and aspiration lines having different compliance or stiffness, with the irrigation line having a higher compliance than the aspiration line.
Accordingly, one objective of the present invention is to provide an irrigation/aspiration system having a relatively compliant irrigation line.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a method to reduce post occlusion break surge.
These and other advantages and objectives of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description and claims that follow.

Can the U.S. deploy an EnergyNet the way it did the Internet?
Quick take: It's no secret that the U.S. government is in gridlock and cannot address the country's issues. Here is an optimistic (some would say naive) plea for both sides to rally about a "clean energy superhighway" the way we rallied around a national policy framework for the Internet some 15 years ago. I wish I could believe it has a chance. Please use the Comment form to reply if you think I am too cynical. - Jesse Berst
A new report from the Center for American Progress -- The Networked Energy Web: The Convergence of Energy Efficiency, Smart Grid, and Distributed Power Generation as the Next Frontier of the ICT Revolution - touts a bipartisan strategy for accelerating the transformation of the electric grid into a clean, private, secure and transparent integrated network.
Written by Bracken Hendricks and Adam James, the report proposes a networked energy web that could be achieved by:
· Increasing the decentralization of energy generation, which lowers the cost of energy and helps to integrate more sources of alternative energy into the grid
· Meeting the potential for energy efficiency in buildings by using better building materials in construction and real-time information to make smarter energy-distribution decisions
· Integrating smart grid technology into the existing energy grid, which can efficiently distribute energy, as well as information, around the country
The authors suggest a transition to a "networked energy web" promises to unleash massive economic growth.

Thanks for the update. I miss the sound of big real music. I have not heard that in a very long time. Now with my hearing the way it is I miss a lot. Still there is nothing like it. My wife and I got to attend an event once where a chamber orchestra made up of DSO members, (Denver Symphony), and they played waltzes. Anybody who knows of thw old KVOD and the "Friday Waltz" would know exactly what this was. costumes and all.
They held this at an unoccupied mall that later became a church. We bought tickets as support for the DSO. We were once able to do that.
The valet parking was fun with our old SuperBeetle but we were dressed to the nines in period gear, powdered wig and all. We got to sit at a table with a German couple. She had been a dancer/dance teacher her entire life and he an engineer. It was a perfect fit and we danced the night away.
I will never forget that couple of the artists who gave of their time to take us back to a time long ago when waltzing and powdered wigs and stinged instruments were all the rage.
It was magic.
The old DSO and KVOD were such a great part of our lives in Denver.
Thanks for the report and the insight into a musicians life and how it all works.

Financing an aircraft means wading through fine print.
January 20, 2015
Some charter brokers have become overly creative in the methods they use to stimulate business, running afoul of Department of Transportation requirements in the process.
September 26, 2014
Sales taxes offer an easy way for states to raise revenue, and business jets are a favorite target.
September 1, 2014
One of the most pervasive myths about the taxation of business jets in the U.S. is that the owner isn't entitled to any deductions unless more than 50 percent of the aircraft's usage is in a trade or business. I hear this regularly from people who are contemplating a jet acquisition but worry that they won't be able to take any tax deductions for it because less than half the usage will be business-related. Like many myths, this one contains a nugget of truth, as I'll explain presently. But it's incorrect to assume you can't write off anything if your business use doesn't exceed 50 percent.

Your aircraft represents a wonderful business tool but also one of your largest potential exposures to catastrophic loss—one that could wipe out what you have spent years building. The importance of properly insuring against such loss should be obvious. Here's a look at the most critical coverage types and clauses.
