HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Russell Ramsey, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 13 September 2012 08:00AM
Could the stakes have been any higher? A global audience of billions waiting to see the best of British creativity.
It started with the shipping forecast murmuring around the stadium. An early indication that the creators were not going to be shy in embracing idiosyncrasy.
Then a film played. It began underwater at the source of the Thames and ran its length, right up to the Olympic Stadium.
Then things really got going with a spectacular homage to the Industrial Revolution.
Twenty minutes in and Twitter was buzzing with excitement and a realisation that: "Shit, this is actually pretty good." Then it got better, and better.
The team that put this together had let their imagination run riot. Flocks of sheep, trampoline beds, dozens of Mary Poppins. We got JK Rowling, and even the Queen apparently arriving by parachute accompanied by James Bond.
The soundtrack had everything. The Beatles, The Who, the London Symphony Orchestra with Mr Bean, the Dam Busters theme ... it was the biggest assertion of Britishness since Blackcurrant Tango.
People were calling for Danny Boyle to be knighted. The Chinese news agency said it was "dazzling and stunning". The Times of India deemed it "a vibrant picture of Great Britain's rich heritage". Vladimir Putin described it as "wonderful and unforgettable".
To add a bit of balance, the Tory MP Aidan Burley said it was "Leftie, multicultural crap".
The grand prix for the most fantastic opening ceremony should go to London.

(a) Each space station licensee in the Fixed-Satellite Service shall establish a satellite network control center which will have the responsibility to monitor space-to-Earth transmissions in its system. This would indirectly monitor uplink earth station transmissions in its system and to coordinate transmissions in its satellite system with those of other systems to prevent harmful interference incidents or, in the event of a harmful interference incident, to identify the source of the interference and correct the problem promptly.
(b) Each space station licensee shall maintain on file with the Commission and with its Columbia Operations Center in Columbia, Maryland, a current listing of the names, titles, addresses and telephone numbers of the points of contact for resolution of interference problems. Contact personnel should include those responsible for resolution of short term, immediate interference problems at the system control center, and those responsible for long term engineering and technical design issues.
(c) The transmitting earth station licensee shall provide the operator(s) of the satellites, on which the licensee is authorized to transmit, contact telephone numbers for the control center of the earth station and emergency telephone numbers for key personnel; a current file of these contacts shall be maintained at each satellite system control center.
(d) An earth station licensee shall ensure that each of its authorized earth stations complies with the following:
(1) The earth station licensee shall ensure that there is continuously available means of communications between the satellite network control center and the earth station operator or its remote control point as designated by the licensee.

(3) The earth station operator shall keep the space station licensee informed of all actual and planned usage.
(4) Upon approval of the satellite network control center, the earth station operator may radiate an RF carrier into the designated transponder. Should improper illumination of the transponder or undue adjacent transponder interference be observed by the satellite network control center, the earth station operator shall immediately take whatever measures are needed to eliminate the problem.
(5) The space station licensee may delegate the responsibility and duties of the satellite network control center to a technically qualified user or group of users, but the space station licensee shall remain ultimately responsible for the performance of those duties.

FWT Formula Kart Racing Action Heats Up at Homestead
The competitors of Formula Kart Productions Florida Winter Tour were back in action on Saturday (February 16), at the Homestead Karting facility. On track were the drivers of the Formula Kart Racing program, who were going for wins and having Serious Fun in the four Formula TaG classes.
Last year the Homestead rounds of the Formula Kart Racing program proved pivotal in the Nations Cup, Manufacturers Cup, Drivers Championship and the Skip Barber/FWT award program, and it looks like this year were that trend is continuing.
After a steady rain through the night, the track was clean and mostly dry for Saturday mornings warm-up sessions. After the warm ups, the drivers were ready for qualifying on the challenging Homestead Karting layout, which is lined and dotted with palm trees.
In AM Engines Formula Vortex TaG Cadet qualifying, Anthony Gangi Jr. (USA) continued his dominating form from Palm Beach, as he set the pole time with a lap of 53.569 seconds over fellow New Yorker Dylan Tavella (USA). In a bit of a sweep for the Empire State in qualifying, Giovanni Bromante (USA) rounded out the top three. In the first TaG Cadet heat, Santiago Terife (Venezuela) emerged victorious over Gangi Jr. in a battle that saw them separated by only 0.237 of a second at the line. In heat race 2, Gangi Jr. resumed his winning ways, taking the win by over three seconds from USAs Neil Verhagen. At the start of the TaG Cadet Final, Gangi Jr. and Tavella took off from the front-row, and commenced a battle of their own, while Antonio Serravalle (Canada) worked to hold off David Malukas (USA) for third. As the race wore on, Gangi Jr. and Tavella continued to pull away, while Michael dOrlando worked his way up to third. That ended up being the top three, with Gangi Jr. taking the win and a race podium sweep for drivers from New York.
Moving from the youngest competitors to the most seasoned, the Euro Motorsports TaG Masters qualifying saw some great laps being turned by the competitors. In the end, it was 2011 FWT TaG Masters Champion Jim Russell Jr. who captured the pole position with a lap of 50.155 seconds. Qualifying did not go as expected for Juan Font. The fast Venezuelan set the second fastest time, but was light across the scales, forcing him to start the first heat from the rear of the field. This added an extra dimension to the first heat race, as Font was able to come through the field to finish third behind Russell and Nelson Canache (USA). With the inverted field for the second heat, Font was looking forward to heat 2. Font initially put his top starting spot to good use. However, Russell Jr. was not to be denied, as he came through the pack to take his second heat win of the day over Mexican Javier Gonzalez by just 0.629 seconds, with Font coming home third. The start of the TaG Masters Final had the spectators on their feet, as Canache, Russell, Font, and Brent Lyman (USA) went four-wide into turn one! Canache managed to momentarily take the lead with a big move down the inside. Following Canache through was another quick Venezuelan, Christian Calvo. Unfortunately Calvo bounced off the inside curb, into Russel Jr. , bending Russels axle. This dropped Russell Jr. back, but never out of striking distance from early race leader Font. For lap-after-lap, Font and Russell pulled out a lead over the field. With a handful of laps to go, Russell Jr. pulled off a move for the lead down into turn one and held that to the checkers to take his first FWT final win of the season. Joining Russell Jr. and Font on the podium was recent 24 Hours of Daytona winner Canache, whos proving he can run up front in cars and karts.
The TaG Senior competitors took to the track for qualifying and Daniel Formal (Costa Rica) showed his double race wins in Palm Beach were just the beginning. The reigning FWT TaG Senior champion laid down the fastest lap of qualifying at 48.555 seconds to take pole over Venezuelan Jose Zanella and Floridian Dominic Tesoro. At the start of Heat 1, Zanella pulled off a beautiful outside pass going into turn one to take the lead over Formal. From there the two battled in tight formation while the pack gave chase. With two laps to go, Formal and Zanella touched briefly in the mid-track section, sending Zanella into a spin that ended his race. Bad luck for Zanella worked in the favor of Roger Ralston Jr. (USA) who was able to move into the second position behind Formal with Christopher Morrison (USA) coming home third. In the inverted field heat 2, Formal proved he can win from anywhere, as he blitzed through the field to take the heat race win. Continued bad luck for Zanella, and this time Ralston as well, saw the two finish down the field, while Tesoro (USA) and Michael Melancon (USA) took second and third respectively. The TaG Senior Final was all Formal, as he used his top starting spot to check out on the field to remain unbeaten in TaG Senior Finals in 2013. Behind Formal, however, there was a lot of great racing going on. Kevin Barbesino (USA) spent the beginning of the race in second, but eventually, Zanella and Ralston came through the pack to make it onto the podium in second and third respectively.
Twenty four TaG Junior drivers took to the track Saturday morning for qualifying in the MDD sponsored class. Coming out fastest was another of the quick Venezuelans, Marucio Baiz. Behind Marucio were the USAs Colin Warren and Jack Weprin in second and third respectively. Weprin continued his strong start to the 2013 racing season, as he was able to take the win in the first TaG Junior heat race by almost a second over Gavin Reichelt (USA), with Floridian Derek Sobel third. Brazilian Pedro Cardoso, the reigning FWT Mini Max Champion, had a mechanical failure on his warm-up lap in qualifying, and had to start from the back of the 24 kart field, but charged his way forward to finish seventh, gaining valuable points that made a big difference in the final. With the field inverted for heat 2, there was plenty of action all through the pack as the faster drivers were moving through on their way to the front. Cardoso started up front after his problems in qualifying, and he made the most of his opportunity to take the win. Behind Cardoso, Weprin came in second over a charging Juan Manuel Correa (Ecuador). In the TaG Junior Final, all bets were off, as any of the top five had a shot at this one. Weprin took the early lead, but it was Reichelt that stormed to the front to assume the top spot on lap two. For many laps the top two thrust and parried, as Cardoso and Derek Sobel (USA) were right on their bumpers. With about four laps to go, Weprin took the lead going into the inner hairpin. This left Cardoso and Reichelt to battle for second and their battle was just enough to give Weprin the slightest breathing space that he needed to solidify his lead. In the end, it was Weprin taking the win over Reichelt and Cardoso.
The podium celebrations were held during a beautiful Florida sunset as the triumphant competitors received their FWT Palm trophies. For those who missed the action live, be sure to log on to

POLLUTION knows no borders and neither does its health toll - a rationale that could make new US regulations financially sound.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the cross-state air pollution rule last week. It regulates emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from power plants, which can travel hundreds of miles.
The Republican governor of Texas, Rick Perry, has called the EPA's decision "another example of heavy-handed and misguided action from Washington DC, that threatens Texas jobs and families and puts at risk the reliable and affordable electricity our state needs to succeed". He isn't alone in his opposition. New bits of kit like air scrubbers for power plants will cost $800 million per year.
But an EPA analysis says the rules will annually prevent 468,000 premature deaths, nonfatal heart attacks and cases of asthma and acute bronchitis - estimates which a spokesperson for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told New Scientist were "based on sound science". Overall, the health gains should save $120 to $280 billion per year by 2014.

MINNEAPOLIS - 2009: Leslie Frazier of the Minnesota Vikings poses for his 2009 NFL headshot at photo day in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by NFL Photos)
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. The Chicago Bears wide-ranging search for a new coach has extended to the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier confirmed Tuesday that Chicago has asked to speak to Mike Singletary, the Vikings co-linebackers coach and special assistant to Frazier, and special teams coordinator Mike Priefer. The Bears reportedly have or are planning to interview at least 13 candidates to replace Lovie Smith, who was fired after Chicago missed the playoffs due to Minnesota's win against Green Bay in the final-regular season game. "The Bears have requested some information, and I'll let that organization talk about their candidate," Frazier said in his season-ending press conference. "The things, the rumors that you read and heard, they have been asked to come in and interview for the job there." The Chicago Tribune first reported Chicago general manager Phil Emery's interest in Singletary and Priefer. Singletary, a former Bears Hall of Fame linebacker, has head coachi...

tag with EJB's
Our project is contained within and EAR file that contains both an EJB project and a web project, which utilizes JSF. We are attempting to deploy our application into a cluster and I have followed the documentation pertaining to the specific settings needed for distributing the application.
In web.xml:
In sun-web.xml:
My question pertains to EJB references that we have defined as properties of our managed-beans. If I have a managed-bean, call it SalesRepsBacker, that implements java.io.Serializable, and within this bean I have references to several stateless EJB's, (which would also need to be serializable), will the stateless EJB's still be accessible and functional after serialization from one server in the cluster to the other, or should I define these properties as transient and perform a look-up each time I need them?
Thanks for the help...
Yes. The Java EE spec requires that a Java EE web container be capable of
handling a number of "special" Java EE objects in an HttpSession, including
EJB references. The EJB reference object itself is opaque from the perspective of
the application, so you don't have to worry about whether it explicitly implements
Serializable. Here's the relevant snippet from the spec :
Web containers must support Java EE distributable web applications placing
objects of any of the following types into a javax.servlet.http.HttpSession
object using the setAttribute or putValue methods:
• java.io.Serializable
• javax.ejb.EJBObject
• javax.ejb.EJBHome
• javax.ejb.EJBLocalObject
• javax.ejb.EJBLocalHome
• javax.transaction.UserTransaction
• a javax.naming.Context object for the java:comp/env context
• a reference to an EJB local or remote business interface

Greenall, who played a handyman working in Partridge's roadside hotel, was named today by sources close to the ad.
He voices Aleksandr, the star of a series of ads for comparethemarket.com, which have helped increase hits on the site by 80 per cent since January.
Meanwhile, the source also revealed that the next TV ad in the series would involve Aleksandr relaxing in a jacuzzi with a glass of Champagne, and altering his catchphrase from "it's seemples" to "it's seembubbles".
Aleksandr has more than 25,000 followers on Twitter and almost 525,000 fans on Facebook.

In the picture above, all eyes are on former President Clinton as T. DeWitt Smith, President of the Progressive National Baptist Convention, recounts how impressed his son was to learn that his father would be meeting with the man that he considers "the first African-American president."
Southern Baptist leaders, however, found little humorous about the meeting of New Baptist Covenant leaders. Morris Chapman, President of the Southern Baptist Convention, attacked the credibility of former President Carter saying:
"He has been one of the most vocal critics of Southern Baptists, using 'fundamentalist' as a pejorative and drawing a caustic comparison between Ayatollah Khomeini's rise to power in Iran and the resurgence of conservative leadership being elected in the SBC," Chapman wrote to Baptist Press.
Russell Moore, Dean of the School of Theology at Southern Seminary, launched a broadside against Baptists associating with Bill Clinton:
Come to think of it, President Clinton's involvement might be just what the Baptist left needs. After all, for years they've been trying to convince Baptist churches that they represent "traditional Baptist" beliefs . . . They've been a lot of things, but never slick. Perhaps they needed all along someone to teach them how to triangulate more skillfully. Is Jesus the only way to the Father? Is an unborn fetus a baby worthy of protection? It depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.
Richard Land, President of the SBC's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, had a more moderate tone to his comments. He said:
Land cautioned that the North American Baptist Fellowship will have to work hard to make its January 2008 meeting not be seen as "overly political" during a presidential election year.
"Had I been invited I could have come, but I couldn't come to this meeting because I was meeting with Jews and Muslims and Christians searching for common ground," Land said. "It's easy to write a covenant and sign it and easy to hold a meeting. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating thereof. We'll see who represents Baptist views."

I think if we could point any US Dakar rider hopefuls that want to try next year to the the 2012 F5irehose threads and Ned's Thread and Nates RallyRAIDio site then... I bet if they read up and listened they could get pretty fired-up to call in too! Just an idea.
We need to get our own Dakar-educated mechanically-able Adelaide Sans Guyere. An F5reporter cutie-pie just crazy enough to join the the RPA crew, then she could use the charm to get the racers to talk. Alina certainly gets the interviews better than scruffy unshaven F5roughnecks, just sayin'

Social Security surplus dwarfed by future deficit
WASHINGTON As millions of baby boomers flood Social Security with applications for benefits, the program's $2.7 trillion surplus is starting to look small.
For nearly three decades Social Security produced big surpluses, collecting more in taxes from workers than it paid in benefits to retirees, disabled workers, spouses and children. The surpluses also helped mask the size of the budget deficit being generated by the rest of the federal government.
Those days are over.
Since 2010, Social Security has been paying out more in benefits than it collects in taxes, adding to the urgency for Congress to address the program's long-term finances.
"To me, urgent doesn't begin to describe it," said Chuck Blahous, one of the public trustees who oversee Social Security. "I would say we're somewhere between critical and too late to deal with it."
The Social Security trustees project the surplus will be gone in 2033. Unless Congress acts, Social Security would only collect enough tax revenue each year to pay about 75 percent of benefits, triggering an automatic reduction.
Lawmakers from both political parties say they want to avoid such a dramatic benefit cut for people who have retired and might not have the means to make up the lost income. Still, that scenario is more than two decades away, which is why many in Congress are willing to put off changes.
But once the surplus is spent, the annual funding gaps start off big and grow fast, which could make them hard to rein in if Congress procrastinates.
The projected shortfall in 2033 is $623 billion, according to the trustees' latest report. It reaches $1 trillion in 2045 and nearly $7 trillion in 2086, the end of a 75-year period used by Social Security's number crunchers because it covers the retirement years of just about everyone working today.
Add up 75 years' worth of shortfalls and you get an astonishing figure: $134 trillion. Adjusted for inflation, that's $30.5 trillion in 2012 dollars, or eight times the size of this year's entire federal budget.
In present value terms, the Social Security Administration says the shortfall is $8.6 trillion. That means the agency would need to invest $8.6 trillion today, and have it pay returns of 2.9 percent above inflation for the next 75 years, to produce enough money to cover the shortfall.
That's the rate of return Social Security expects to get from its trust funds. The problem, of course, is that Social Security doesn't have an extra $8.6 trillion to invest.
Social Security Commissioner Michael J. Astrue said he is frustrated that little has been done to solve a problem that is only going to get harder to fix as 2033 approaches. If changes are done soon, they can be spread out over time, perhaps sparing current retirees while giving workers time to increase their savings.
"It won't be easy but it's just going to get harder the longer they wait," Astrue said.
There is no consensus in Washington on how pressing the problem is.

Eden Eternal All Set For Massive Expansion
Aeria Games, one of the worlds leading publishers of free to play online games, have just announced a huge expansion that is now available in their ever popular fantasy MMO, Eden Eternal. Shadows of the Past features a colossal selection of new content for a title that is already one of the must regularly updated F2P MMO's on the market.
One of the most anticipated aspects of the update is the addition of a new class, the Sage. Unlike traditional classes that are available during character creation, the Sage must be unlocked after completing a set of difficult trials. Challenging the ancient enemies of the Sage's, the Shadowers.
As well as introducing the Sage class, Shadows of the Past includes a variety of other exciting content updates such as an increase in level cap, up to level 70, and three new zones. Each zone is filled with quests and new monsters and four new dungeons have also been added.
"This is the first time that the lore has had something tied to the world's past, a compelling story of the corruption of the Zumi race and why there are no Sages anymore," said Andy Muesse, producer. "This expansion hits home for all of our users, and we're very excited to keep this perennial favorite updated with lots of great content for our players."

Xorg freeze on Ubuntu 7.04 with 6800GT
1 Attachment(s)
I am totally frustrated. If I use the latest stable nvidia driver on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, I can log into a normal user session. But after about 1-10 minutes, I recognize that my keyboard does not work anymore and some time later the whole server is freezing. I logged into that machine via ssh and created the attached bug report.
I do not know, if my graphics board might have been damaged, when I recently cleaned it carefully. At the other hand, after getting the X-server freeze, I rebooted into Windows XP and played Doom3 in Ultra quality for several hours without having any problems. So the question is: Can a graphics board have hardware problems, which are recognized under Linux but not under Windows?
Is there some diagnostic tool under Linux/Windows, where I can do a full check of the hardware?
Kind regards
Re: Xorg freeze on Ubuntu 7.04 with 6800GT
I have a few questions:
0) Does this problem persist with the 100.14.03 beta driver?
1) Does this problem persist if you're not using the Composite extension in X?
2) Have you verified that you're using the most recent motherboard BIOS?
3) Does this problem persist if you set NvAGP to 0 in xorg.conf ?
Re: Xorg freeze on Ubuntu 7.04 with 6800GT
I have downloaded the beta driver, but did not try yet.
I skipped this point, because I thought it might be NVAGP
Yes I use the most recent BIOS. There is a beta version, but I did not want to use beta BIOS
This seems to run relatively stable. At of writing this line on my notebook, my affected machine is running glxgears for about 15 minutes now on a compiz-enabled dektop. So this looks quiet stable.
I now will try the beta driver (with and without NvAGP 0)
I come back
Thanks so far
Re: Xorg freeze on Ubuntu 7.04 with 6800GT
I now tested the beta drivers. The result is clear now: At the moment I turn on agp, the machine freezes.
With NvAGP=0 and only agpgart loaded, everything seems to be okay. Only the framerate is about 3300FPS instead of 5000FPS with glxgears and using compiz (YES I KNOW, GLXGEARS IS NOT A BENCHMARK APP)
Do you have any ideas, why agp is doing so bad here? Some hardware damage? But why not under Windows XP? Again my question: Is there some hardware diagnostic tool?
Kind regards
Re: Xorg freeze on Ubuntu 7.04 with 6800GT
If disabling AGP eliminates the problem then this is either an AGP driver bug, or a hardware problem. You could try testing NvAGP with other values to see if they work, as well as testing with a lower AGP rate.
I couldn't speculate on why this works in Windows. Its possible that they worked around the problem in the Windows AGP driver, or it could just be an AGP driver bug in Linux.
Regardless, this doesn't sound like an nvidia driver bug.

Villanueva, who has played his way back into the Pistons' regular rotation, was hit with a Flagrant-2 foul and ejected after delivering a hard foul on Sacramento's Isaiah Thomas. As Thomas drove the lane, Villanueva caught him high with an elbow. Thomas reacted immediately, jumping into Villanueva's face — the Kings' guard had to be restrained by teammates as Villanueva backed away, perhaps hoping to avoid making the situation any worse. Judge for yourself on the video below. Did Charlie V. deserve his ejection?

I will say GW2 is stated they will not release until the game is ready, they will not tell us something is there they have not made ready. Response has been from consumor to let them in give them more. GW2 refuses. That is the issue, people scream I want and when they get a weak game they cry, More Dev's need to say no. Rift is getting a at a boy and girl for actually releasing a playable game that works. For th first time in over a year I am having fun with a game, and not hitting error does not work all over.

If I wanted to make as much content as WOW has and its major expansions to be a primary, initial release in one game, I would spend around 10 years creating a game and by then the graphics in my platform will be outdated and have to revise the whole thing.
Even if GW II gets released when they are ready, there are still expansions and things to consider. I believe the BASE GAME defines the rest of the game. If the base game t urns out to be horrible, the expansions will be horrible too.

This. There are too many reviews from MMORPG.com that simply gloss over the fact that many of the MMOs they are reviewing have glaring issues that are reflective of an incomplete game. Furthermore, as I pointed out in another post, almost every MMO recieves a 7.5-8.9 score, and according to those scores the adjetive selected next to that score is "good" or "great" (not C+ for 7.5).
Now maybe, just perhaps, MMORPG.com will decide to go with a multiple scoring solution to their reviews. I don't accept what a recent re-review of AION said which is the numerical score wasn't important, which praised the game for being much better than it was at launch because of the new content, etc. and YET gave it a LOWER score than the initial review at launch.
Perhaps the next editorial post you make Jon should be about the way MMORPG reviews games and gives them such glowing reviews despite how awful it must be for games to be released incomplete.

Good article. There needs to be a good base before you continue with things. As previous posters have said, "It's a new MMO, it will be better later" type of stuff is getting rediculous. I want the box price to be worth it AND I want the subscription they ask for to be worth it also - I don't see that as too much to ask.

Well OP - good one. ofc I agree
Most Customers who buy games, esp MMOs are underaged - aka they can not differentiate good from bad. And everybody knows they would arraign anything.
Means: Devs can screw around how they want and wrap it all up in a shiny present - 99% of the stupid Kids buy it anyway.
But honestly? Lets take this to another Level from now on. Why not SUE those companies who Release unfinished Stuff and earn Millions. I mean hello!? Loophole or what? Switzerland???
And I am very, VERY honest with this one. Side-effect: Earn Millions for great justice!
I can not sell a car which lacks of screws here and there and lateron send them to my customers, hoping they are still alive to recieve them!?
But you find this effed-up attitude all over this damned planet. People are getting greeding so frigging fast! Its just gross.

Sue their greedy asses? What a terribly hypocritical thing to say. How is that being productive?
Lets say developers have what seems like an air tight plan for a innovative game, then completely unforseeable events happen with bugs, publishers making it worse, etc. You will go and say the same thing woudn't you because you don't know the whole picture.

@ Rugster - Agreed. When everything is about money that's when games no longer are games. Look at the NFL, MLB, NBA, ect...
@ crunk001 - Agreed about greed. Indipendent productions are really the only thing to look forward to for myself anymore. Only because with their first or second big hit they produce solid games and really show their value. Often by the third game you see their funds go up and their integrity slip.
This is not to say everyone does this, but a large majority. Oh yes... I could name names, but that would only start hate because of my opinions by those who would worship said companies.
Too much of anything even money is destructive. It can make you lazy, breed an obsession for more of it, and cost you things that money can't buy. This isn't some moral wisdom. This is a fact. Then it all becomes a question later. Are you a game developer with a vision and dream or were you a tycoon just waiting for the moment to spread your dollar wings and soar?
Nobody would refuse to be rich, but I would hope some would refuse to have their values bought by the lowest bidder.

The movie analogy is a good one. Studios don't release half finished movies, MMO developers shouldn't launch half finished games. When a movie goes over budget, the studio evaluates whether what they have is worth completion, or more worthy of the trash bin. No use throwing good money after bad, but they also know it would be idiotic to scrap a promising movie, just because it went over budget.
It seems too many developers are willing to kill a game that could have been a real winner, if it was finished, rather than spend the extra time and money to get it right.

Seriously? Prehaps you may want to doa little research before calling me out publically. Bith myself and many other people who work on this site, have answered this so many times. Our reviewers are not coearced and the score that they produce is not altered by staff. Why? Because that way, there is no way for editorial to in any way corrupt the scores. Which we'e accused of all the time. So yeah *shrug* I don't know what else to say on the matter. Believe me, don't believe me, that's your right as a consumer but please try to be informed before calling someone out.

good honest article. we need more like these.
seriously just tried this global agenda game today. i thought 'oh another game went f2p... lets see why'.
guess what... a sort of pvp game which bothered to make pve (from first look it seemed like guild wars type of balance - a lenghty campaign and loads of pvp goodness).
however... the game has ONE pve area. ONE. only one... :|
and the game is out for what? one year?
its so bad that most players are almost using this shortcoming as a meme in game.
that one and only area is in the desert. somebody asks where should they level after desert and ofcourse dozens of people respond that the player should go to the jungle area and find t-rex boss or whatever. naively that player says 'THANKS GUYS, MUCH APPRECIATED!'.
while this is a well done joke... it only reflects the ridiculous problem - theoretically you could check all the game content in a few hours (if they didnt have lvl requirements).
that shouldnt happen... especially to a game that exists for a year.

I agree with much of what was said in this article. I'd also defend MMORPG.com on their reviews of unfinished games as people say...MMO's as Jon said are not ever really "finished" so therefore MMORPG inevitably will need to review a game prior to it being fixed or having the plan the developers envisioned actually executed. I mean some dev's take years to make an MMO work properly and gain subs. MMORPG needs to bring in hits and reviews are one way of doing it. At least they offer more honest opinions by stating that a core idea might be great but the remainder of the game is too bug ridden to be enjoyable. I find myself easily understanding the clear message they convey in reviews but perhaps others might look at a 7/10 and think it automatically means it's good.
FFXIV was the biggest let down for me because it had great potential but was completely rushed to the table. People complain about Rift saying it's a cookie cutter MMO but it's certainly polished and there is at least some end game content. It still has balance problems but that's what most dev's focus on anyway NOT fixing game ruining bugs or fixing core game mechanics that make a game virtually unplayable for some.

Oh I am not disagreeing with you on that point, like I said during beta we screamed at them to go back a few steps. I did not buy it because of how bad that was, BUT they took an unprecidented step, and yes the pressure was there, but look at Cryptic and Funcom (Age of Conan and STO I am looking at you) they were even more messed up in many ways but they just blundered on. Eventually turning their games good, but at a point where it was too late because the vast majority of potential players had already been burned.

Agreement here.
This article has its heart in the right place, but unfortunately it lacks any sort of journalistic oomph. I believe the press has power. This editorial does not. I honestly scanned through it and got to the end and said "That was it?" No specifics, no hard look at reality, just a laundry list that will be read and ignored.
It's not that the editorial was poorly written because it wasn't, and I wouldn't want Jon to take my post as a jab, in that regard anyway. Rather I take issue with the attitude with which the article was written: a feeling of annoyance but a complete unwillingness to risk alienating the MMO companies that (I assume) supply advertising revenue and previews and interviews and all the other material that gives MMORPG.com an edge. As a result, it felt like whistle-blowing without the effin' whistle.
Alternatively, it could be that the article was tepid in an attempt to avoid offending MMO fans, but that's worse. Supposed to be a journalist, not a beauty queen. It's not a popularity contest.
Insofar as people complaining about the "glowing reviews" of unfinished games and Jon's response, I don't think anyone was suggesting that editors actively censor and alter the reviewer's score. But rather that, as managing editor, it is your job to hire (and fire) said reviewers as well as set the tone and general guidelines for reviews. If you were to suggest the policy that incomplete/beta-versions of finished games should be harshly reviewed, then that's how it would be. I don't particularly have a problem with the review scores (which are always going to be somewhat inconsistent and arbitrary), but to suggest that editors can't influence review scores is silly.

I used to think that Vanguard:Saga of Heroes was the worst launch I had ever seen. Then I made the mistake of picking up Mortal Online. Sweet jebus.......I could not believe that a company could release whatever the heck that was on release and still exist. Most people said "SV is a small dev team, the game has potential. GIve it 4-6 months..........". Those people are insane. I am not subsidising a dev's lack of a buisness plan with my hard earned coin. Players have encouraged companies to pull this crap, because they have seen other companies get away with it.

NICE Quality Standards
"NICE quality standards are a set of specific, concise statements and associated measures. They set out aspirational, but achievable, markers of high-quality, cost-effective patient care, covering the treatment and prevention of different diseases and conditions. Derived from the best available evidence such as NICE guidance and other evidence sources accredited by NHS Evidence, they are developed independently by NICE, in collaboration with NHS and social care professionals, their partners and service users, and address three dimensions of quality: clinical effectiveness, patient safety and patient experience."
Alcohol: preventing harmful alcohol use in the community
March 2015
This quality standard covers a range of approaches at a population level to prevent harmful alcohol use in the community by children, young people and adults. These statements are particularly relevant to trading standards, other local authority teams, the police, and schools and colleges. This quality standard does not cover screening and brief interventions, which are covered by NICE's quality standard on alcohol dependence and harmful alcohol use. For more information see the topic overview.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
February 2015
The 2 main forms of inflammatory bowel disease are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Both are chronic diseases that cause inflammation of the digestive system. Crohn's disease typically involves the distal ileum or colon but can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, whereas ulcerative colitis usually affects the rectum and a variable extent of the colon proximal to the rectum.
In Crohn's disease, inflammation of the digestive system leads to diarrhoea, abdominal pain, tiredness and weight loss. Symptoms of active disease or relapse of ulcerative colitis include bloody diarrhoea, an urgent need to defecate and abdominal pain. People with inflammatory bowel disease can go for long periods with few or no symptoms (this is known as remission), but these can be followed by a period of active disease when symptoms flare up (this is sometimes called a relapse or an exacerbation).
Hepatitis B
July 2014
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that is transmitted by contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person and is also transmitted perinatally from mother to child (vertical transmission). Some adults have an acute infection, in which the virus is cleared from the body naturally, whereas other people develop a chronic infection. Rates of progression from acute to chronic infection vary according to age at the time of infection. About 85% of hepatitis B infections in newborn babies become chronic compared with 4% in adults (Hepatitis B and C [NICE public health guidance 43]).
Constipation in Children and Young People
May 2014
Children and young people with constipation can present to different types of healthcare professionals in primary, community and secondary care. Once constipation in children and young people has been recognised it is important to ensure that underlying causes of constipation and 'red flag' symptoms are excluded. A diagnosis of idiopathic constipation, in which the constipation cannot be explained by anatomical or physiological abnormalities, can only be made through a full assessment, including detailed history-taking and a physical examination by a healthcare professional.
Faecal Incontinence
February 2014
Faecal incontinence is a symptom, rather than a diagnosis. For many people faecal incontinence is the result of a complex interplay of contributing factors. Effective management depends on identifying the factors causing faecal incontinence for each person, and finding a combination of interventions that is acceptable to the person and that gives best control of incontinence. Between 1 and 10% of adults are affected by faecal incontinence, depending on the definition used. It is likely that 0.5–1.0% of adults experience regular faecal incontinence that affects their quality of life. Nearly two-thirds of people with faecal incontinence also have urinary incontinence (known as double incontinence) although management, including any specialist input, may be quite distinct. Faecal incontinence has remained a largely hidden problem, with many people feeling too embarrassed to describe their symptoms to health and social care practitioners, or even to family and friends. People with faecal incontinence often experience social exclusion, and frequently suffer from stress, anxiety and depression. Appropriate care for people with faecal incontinence should lead to improvements in quality of life. For some people with faecal incontinence (such as people with neurological injury or severe cognitive impairment, or frail older people), better management may also eliminate or delay the need for residential care.
Acute Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding
July 2013
Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a common medical emergency that has a 10% hospital mortality rate. People with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding develop haematemesis (vomiting of blood from the upper gastrointestinal tract) or melaena (black tarry stools). The most common causes are peptic ulcer and oesophagogastric varices. Although crude hospital mortality of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding has not improved much over several decades, patients are now older and have many more comorbidities than in the past. In addition, the number of people with variceal bleeding has increased greatly as a consequence of alcohol misuse and obesity. The stable hospital mortality rate in the face of the increased incidence shows that management of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding has improved substantially.
Nutrition Support in Adults
November 2012
The quality standard for nutrition support in adults requires that all care services take responsibility for the identification of people at risk of malnutrition and provide nutrition support for everyone who needs it. An integrated approach to the provision of services is fundamental to the delivery of high-quality care to adults who need nutrition support. It is particularly important that nutrition support services are multidisciplinary and overseen and led by senior level staff from across settings, for example through nutrition steering groups or committees.
The quality standard should be read in the context of national and local guidelines on training and competencies. Implementation of this quality standard is dependent on all care professionals involved in providing nutrition support to adults being appropriately trained and competent to deliver the actions and interventions described in the quality standard.
Colorectal Cancer
August 2012
The NICE colorectal cancer quality standard defines clinical best practice and provides specific, concise quality statements, measures and audience descriptors to provide the public, health and social care professionals, commissioners and service providers with definitions of high-quality care.
It covers the diagnosis and management of adults (18 years and older) with newly diagnosed and recurring adenocarcinoma of the colon and rectum. It includes diagnosis of suspected colorectal cancer, staging of the disease, management of both local and metastatic disease, and follow-up and regular surveillance for those free from disease after treatment.
Alcohol Dependence and Harmful Alcohol Use
August 2011
This quality standard covers the care of children (aged 10-15 years), young people (aged 16-17 years) and adults (aged 18 years and over) drinking in a harmful way and those with alcohol dependence in all NHS-funded settings. It also includes opportunistic screening and brief interventions for hazardous and harmful drinkers. The quality standard addresses the prevention and management of Wernicke's encephalopathy but does not cover the separate management of other physical and mental health disorders associated with alcohol use.
