Pediatric ENT
Budge Clinic ENT provides care for children of all ages including newborns. Problems with tonsils and adenoid as well as recurrent ear infections and tubes are frequent topics of interest discussed with parents. Other common problems include snoring, enlarged lymph nodes, and congenital abnormalities.
We also provide allergy evaluations for children. This includes testing for both food and seasonal allergies (hay fever). Skin testing and blood tests are available to help diagnosis potential allergies. Management of allergies including avoidance, medications, and allergy shots or oral drops is discussed with parents.
We offer comprehensive evaluations of hearing loss in children and newborns using a variety of hearing tests geared specifically to children, as well as radiologic studies if necessary. If the child requires hearing aids, we work with each child and the family by providing them with appropriate models and continued monitoring until adulthood. We coordinate our care with other providers, including Utah State University Department of Audiology.
Pediatric patients often need a team approach. We work closely with your pediatrician, family physician, and other consultants to ensure your child receives the best care possible and parents are well informed of all issues facing them and their child.
Allergy and Sinus Disorders
Allergy testing and treatment are available at Budge Clinic ENT. We offer skin testing and blood analysis for both food and inhalant (hay fever) allergies. Treatment options of avoidance, medications, and immunotherapy (allergy shots or sublingual drops) are discussed and tailored to each patient's specific needs.
Sinus problems can be daily frustrations for many patients. We provide patients with a thorough nasal and sinus evaluation. Use of nasal endoscopy, allergy testing, and CT imaging can be in the diagnostic evaluation of patient's complaints. Surgical options with intraoperative computerized image guidance are available for patients who fail more conservative treatment.
Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Both snoring and sleep apnea can be very disrupting to patients and spouses. Furthermore sleep apnea can cause more serious health problems. If we determine this is the issue, we will work closely with the Sleep Laboratory at Logan Regional Hospital to provide a targeted comprehensive exam. Treatments including surgery and CPAP are available.
Audiology Clinic (Hearing and Balance)
Audiologist Dr. Andrew Cobabe conducts comprehensive testing for hearing and balance problems. Special pediatric tests are utilized for newborns and young children. Hearing aids are available for patients with significant hearing loss. Dr. Cobabe works with patients to ensure that the correct hearing aid is used to meet each patient's individual needs. Evaluations for implantable hearing devices and cochlear implants are available for patients with more severe hearing needs.
Patients with sudden or chronic balance problems can seek further diagnostic evaluations with referrals from their physician or provider. Common illnesses such as Meniere's disease, benign positional vertigo, acute vertigo, and disequilibrium are addressed. Various treatment and rehabilitations options are available.
Ear Disorders
Dr. Keyser has completed additional subspecialty training in Otology/Neurotology. As the only fellowship trained surgeon in Cache Valley, he is prepared to medically and surgically manage more complicated ear diseases. Specific areas of interest include evaluation and treatment of hearing loss, especially in newborn children. Areas of surgical care include implantable hearing devices, cochlear implants, reconstructive hearing surgery, mastoid surgery, stapedectomy, and repair of tympanic membrane perforations.
Budge Clinic ENT offers comprehensive treatment of balance disorders. Balance and various other audiological tests are available for in depth evaluations. Balance therapy and rehabilitation is provided in the clinic and through physical therapy.
The Cochlear Implant Program offers patients with profound hearing loss or deafness opportunities of hearing rehabilitation through cochlear implantation. This program is conducted in conjunction with the Audiology Department at Utah State University. Patients are provided with a comprehensive evaluation and options for all major brands of cochlear implants. Patients undergo surgery as outpatients at Logan Regional Hospital.
Thyroid and Parathyroid Disorders
We offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment of thyroid disorders including thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism. We provide surgical therapy and long-term management for patients who have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
We also evaluate patients diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism. Standard treatment options include minimally invasive surgery with monitoring of the parathyroid hormone level during surgery.
Head and Neck Cancer
Budge Clinic ENT provides a very comprehensive approach to patients with cancer. Specialized testing with noninvasive endoscopy and radiologic exams are utilized in the diagnosis and evaluations of patients. We work as a team with the Intermountain Cancer Center at Logan Regional Hospital utilizing the expertise of oncologists in chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Because of our intergraded team approach, patients can receive the highest national standards of care, whether it is surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy while remaining close to home. We work with cancer survivors providing long-term follow up and family support.
Voice Clinic
The Voice Clinic offers specialized evaluations and treatments for patients experiencing hoarseness and speech problems. Patients undergo a medical evaluation with endoscopic visualization of their larynx (voice box). Speech therapists Dr. Heather Elwell and Dr. Kim Corbin-Lewis provide in depth voice and speech analysis with videostroboscopy and can conduct patient specific vocal rehabilitation.

A Day in Ben's Life
Ben Offenberg, a 6'5'' senior biochemistry major and current president of the Student Government Association (SGA), shares a typical day.
8 a.m. After six hours of sound sleep, skip breakfast (not a recommended practice). Begin day in the SGA office in Joe Rosenfield Center. Sitting on a gigantic soccer ball chair, spend a couple hours replying to e-mails and completing office work.

Johnny Angel Wendell, who wrote a piece for us this week about talk radio [1], does a show Sunday night on LA's KTLK radio called Southern California Live, and this week -- on Easter Sunday -- he had a great rant about the Catholic Church. You can listen to it here [2] -- it starts about 22 minutes into the show. (Full disclosure -- I'm often a guest on the show, and was on last night, and you can listen to me talk about Meg Whitman and Gavin Newsom at the end of the session, but Johnny's bit on the church was better).
His question: Why does the Catholic Church still exist?
If any other major institution was caught doing what the Catholic hierarchy did -- allowing, or even encouraging, the abuse of children by its frontline workers -- nobody would go there any more. Imagine if Disneyland had this sort of scandal; no parent would ever take a kid there again. No school, or club, or program that involves or caters in any way to kids would survive a scandal like this.
I know, I know: It's about religion and faith that's supposed to transcend the foibles of the humans who run the show. But Jesus -- how can even devout Catholics allow this to continue? The pope and all the corrupt, sleazy bishops and cardinals ought to be thrown out like the devils cast from heaven in the Bible -- and until that happens, maybe all those devout Catholics should stop putting money in the collection plate.

Laptop Skins
Brer Foxby Katie O'Hagan
Skins are thin, easy-to-remove, vinyl decals for customizing your laptop . Skins are made from a patented material that eliminates air bubbles and wrinkles for easy application.
One of my favourite books is that of Brer Rabbit the main character in the stories, told by Uncle Remus (African American narrator of the folktales). Brer Rabbit is a trickster who outwits other characters like Brer Wolf and Brer Fox.
And so continues my passion for illustrating characters from stories!! Especially animal characters!

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 1/16/13
The Baltimore Orioles are hoping to continue their surprising success of 2012 by extending the contracts of manager Buck Showalter and vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette through the 2018 season. Showalter's extension adds five years to a contract that had been set to expire after the 2013 season. Showalter, 56, is 196-185 since taking over as Baltimore's manager on Aug. 2, 2010. Duquette was hired in November 2011 with a three-year deal that would have expired at the end of 2014. He had four years added to his contract. Showalter and Duquette helped produce a 93-win season for the Orioles, who made it to the postseason for the first time since 1997.

Once upon a Riverby Bonnie Jo Campbell
Staff Pick
Margo's travels on Michigan rivers don't cover that much territory in miles. In learning and experience, they cover a lifetime. Nature gives her food to hunt. People mostly give her a hard time. The river gives her a home.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Bonnie Jo Campbell has created an unforgettable heroine in sixteen-year-old Margo Crane, a beauty whose unflinching gaze and uncanny ability with a rifle have not made her life any easier. After the violent death of her father, in which she is complicit, Margo takes to the Stark River in her boat, with only a few supplies and a biography of Annie Oakley, in search of her vanished mother.
But the river, Margo's childhood paradise, is a dangerous place for a young woman traveling alone, and she must be strong to survive, using her knowledge of the natural world and her ability to look unsparingly into the hearts of those around her. Her river odyssey through rural Michigan becomes a defining journey, one that leads her beyond self-preservation and to the decision of what price she is willing to pay for her choices.
"In her follow-up to National Book Award finalist American Salvage, Campbell trains her unflinching eye on Margo Crane, a down-on-her-luck 16-year-old living in late 1970s rural Michigan who is, in rapid succession, abandoned by her mother, raped by her uncle, and witness to the shooting death of her father. An accomplished marksman who worships Annie Oakley, Margo takes off, traveling up the Stark River and struggling to survive on her own, having been once again rejected by her mother. Encountering a progression of strangers, both kind and otherwise, Margo is a modern-day pioneer whose steely resolve is matched only by her guarded need for tenderness. Forced to kill a man in a moment of panic, Margo must learn to forgive those who have hurt her in order to forge a new and better life for herself. Working against the backdrop of a beautiful but unforgiving landscape, Campbell juxtaposes spare prose with lush details in this stark chronicle of hardship and splendor, friendship and disappointment, and families undone and reunited, and though the novel occasionally flags under the crushing burden of Margo's unremitting ill fortune, it is, finally, a fine and sobering story with more than a little Winter's Bone-style grit in it. (July)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"American fiction waited a long time for Bonnie Jo Campbell to come along. A lot of us, not only women, were looking for a fictional heroine who would be deeply good, brave as a wolverine, never a cry baby, as able as Sacajawea, with a strong and unapologetic sexuality. We wanted to feel her roots in some ancient story, we wanted Diana the huntress, but not her virginity; we wanted a real human girl who we could believe had been suckled by bears, or wolves. To give us heroines like this, the god finally brought us Bonnie Jo Campbell, one of our most important and necessary writers, and Margo Crane, the central character of Once Upon A River, an outcast, feral beauty who can shoot like Annie Oakley, is her most poignant and mythic creation so far. Jaimy Gordon, National Book Award winner
"A dramatic and rhapsodic American odyssey. A female Huckleberry Finn. A wild-child-to-caring-woman story as intricately meshed with the natural life of the river as a myth....[S]he conveys all that Margo does, thinks, and feels with transfixing sensuous precision, from the jolt of a gun to the muscle burn of rowing a boat against the current to the weight of a man. From killing and skinning game to falling in with outlaws and finding refuge with kind if irascible strangers, Margo's earthy education and the profound complexities of her timeless dilemmas are exquisitely rendered and mesmerizingly suspenseful. A glorious novel destined to entrance and provoke." Booklist (starred review)

Inside the museum's new Entry Hall, visitors can explore the major new exhibit, "Through War and Peace: American Military and the People of the Homeland Tribes."
The museum will debut a new special horse regalia exhibit in the Entry Hall on June 10 with its partners from Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts on The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Along with several completely regaled life-size horse replicas, a number of modern era prints will also be displayed. The museum entered into a reciprocal agreement in 2007 with Tam?°stslikt Cultural Center and the Confederated Umatilla Tribes permitting admission-free access to both museums by all three organization's registered members.
Museum hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. Admission is free to members and children under 6, $3 for children ages 6-12, $6 for seniors 62 and older and students, and $7 general admission.

1868 $1 Genuine PCGS. The PCGS number ending in .91 suggests Questionable Color as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an Uncirculated specimen that has been cleaned and retoned. This is a sharply struck and prooflike example with light to medium orange-gold toning. The fields are lightly hairlined and mildly cloudy with a few minor to moderate abrasions. (NGC ID# 24ZB, PCGS# 6961)

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
This is a very great game...I mean you're a sniper!!! Stealth is the key in this game. The graphics are smooth and amazing. The bullet trajectory system is unlike most games. They actually implemented wind, distance, and weather to it!! On the easier difficulties, they help you aim to where as the harder difficulties you're on your own for kill. A all around fun game to play...

Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

(Halcore) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 American Emergency Vehicles (AEV) Ambulance Wheelchair Vans manufactured March 1, 2006, to March 31, 2013, equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.
Halcore will notify owners to take their vans to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on December 10, 2014. Owners may contact American Emergency Vehicles at 1-800-374-9749 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.

"They had told us not to come to the funeral," Rasdall said. "I've sent cards, letters, flowers, saying how sorry I am. But they're not ready."
The victim's parents, Rod and Helen Gorman, declined repeated requests to comment for this story, but they did allow prosecutor Khonsari to speak on their behalf.
According to Khonsari, the Gormans were grief-stricken and numb after the accident. It was the second child the couple had lost, he said -- a son had died as a baby.
"They were a mess. And they continue to be angry today," Khonsari told Vargas.
One month after the accident, Rasdall was arrested and charged with DUI manslaughter. In accordance with the Gormans' wishes, prosecutors told the judge that they would seek the maximum sentence of 10 to 15 years in prison. The court case would drag out through three years of court motions and delays.
While Rasdall admits her guilt publicly, in court she pleaded not guilty to DUI manslaughter, hoping to avoid a prison sentence. The court case would drag out through almost three years of court motions and delays.
After entering a plea, Rasdall was handcuffed, shackled, strip-searched and booked, sent to jail until her parents posted bail.
"I was in this uniform that said 'maximum security inmate,'" she said. "And I was just like, I could be spending 10 or 15 years of my life like this. What happened?"

Pawar is from the town of Baramati in the Pune district of Maharashtra. He leads the NCP delegation in the Lok Sabha, representing his constituency of Madha in Maharashtra. He has a prominence in national politics as well as regional politics of Maharashtra, although marred by frequent corruption allegations.

We'll practice our tango or whatever the heck they do—the 1-2 step," Leinart said, smiling.
Something is not right in paradise. I highly doubt that Ballroom Dancing at USC is worth six credits, let alone three. A quick academic search on their website revealed that Ballroom Dancing is listed as a club sport.

Capping off an extremely important day of discussions with senior White House officials and Capitol Hill offices about ending the unprecedented Republican obstruction that is contributing to our severe federal judicial vacancy crisis, several state and national advocates had the opportunity to meet with President Obama about the urgency of addressing this crisis.
PFAW President Michael Keegan and I joined several representatives from among the 150 advocates from 27 states who participated in the Summit, in a meeting in the West Wing of the White House, where we heard the President reaffirm his commitment to press for the confirmation of judicial nominees who are ready for a vote in the full Senate or being considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee – and his commitment to continue vetting and making nominations through the balance of this year in an effort to fill the remainder of the vacancies.
We celebrated the Administration's extraordinary success so far in diversifying the federal bench, while agreeing that there was even more to be done. Advocates talked about the millions of Americans who are denied meaningful access to the courts because there simply are not enough judges on the bench. And we heard the President affirm the importance of pressing obstructionists in the Senate to end the unprecedented dysfunction that is impeding individual Americans' access to justice.
For me this was a sobering day as we focused on the urgency of filling our federal bench with quality judges who will keep faith with the Constitution -- and inspiring to see the allies we have in states around the country, on Capitol Hill, and in the White House to get the job done.
In a summit at the White House yesterday with 150 grassroots and legal leaders from 27 states, Attorney General Eric Holder and White House Counsel Kathy Ruemmler stressed the importance of maintaining fair and effective federal courts, and criticized Senate Republicans for creating gridlock that has left one in ten federal court seats vacant.
Holder stressed President Obama's effort to nominated qualified and diverse nominees to the federal courts. 46 percent of the president's confirmed judicial nominees have been women and 37 percent have been people of color, more than under any other president in history. "Our people are diverse, they are qualified and they will serve the American people well in their time on the bench," he said.
While President Obama has nominated dozens of highly qualified, diverse Americans to the federal bench, his nominees have met with unprecedented obstruction from Senate Republicans.
"Republican obstruction and these delays on the floor aren't happenstance. They're strategic and they're having a devastating impact," Ruemmler told attendees.
Ruemmler said that the conservative movement "understands the important role courts play in all of the issues we care deeply about as a country."
Today's summit was a sign that progressives are beginning to care deeply about the courts as well.
"This matters. This really matters," Holder said. "This is a key legacy for any president. It's one of the ways that a president's success can be measured."
Today, a few representatives from People For the American Way joined 150 Americans from 27 states at a White House summit to discuss the state of vacancies in the federal courts.
We'll write more about the summit in later posts, but first, a summary of the problem. PFAW's graphic designer, Nicole, put together this infographic showing how unprecedented obstruction of judicial nominees has created an unprecedented vacancy crisis in the federal courts, and slowed down President Obama's effort to bring qualified, diverse judges to the federal bench:
This post originally appeared in the Huffington Post.
Mitt Romney is eager these days to change the subject from what the public sees as his party's "war on women." He seeks to close the huge gender gap that has opened up as women flee the party of Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh in search of something a little less patriarchal and misogynistic.
But Romney's problems with America's women may be just beginning. He can distance himself from the theocratic musings of other Republicans and the macho bullying of Fox News talking heads, but he cannot run away from his own selection of former Judge Robert Bork, in August of last year, to become his principal advisor on the Supreme Court and the Constitution.
Bork hopes to wipe out not only the constitutional right to privacy, especially the right to contraception and to abortion, but decades of Equal Protection decisions handed down by what he calls a feminized Supreme Court deploying "sterile feminist logic" to guarantee equal treatment and inclusion of women. Bork is no casual chauvinist but rather a sworn enemy of feminism, a political force that he considers "totalitarian" and in which, he has concluded, "the extremists are the movement."
Romney may never have to elaborate his bizarrely muted reaction to Rush Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" ("it's not the language I would have used"), but he will definitely have to answer whether he agrees with his hand-picked constitutional advisor that feminism is "totalitarian"; that the Supreme Court, with two women Justices, had become "feminized" at the time of U.S. v. Virginia (1996) and produced a "feminization of the military"; and that gender-based discrimination by government should no longer trigger heightened scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause.
Romney has already said that, "The key thing the president is going to do... it's going to be appointing Supreme Court and Justices throughout the judicial system." He has also said that he wishes Robert Bork "were already on the Court."
So look what Robert Bork thinks Romney's Supreme Court Justices should do about the rights of women.
Wiping Out Contraceptive, Abortion and Privacy Rights
Romney certainly hoped to leave behind the surprising controversy in the Republican primaries over access to contraception, but Robert Bork's extremist views on the subject guarantee that it stays hot. Bork rejects the line of decisions, beginning with Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), affirming the right of Americans to privacy in their procreative and reproductive choices. He denounces the Supreme Court's protection of both married couples' and individuals' right to contraception in Griswold and Eisenstaedt v. Baird (1972), declaring that such a right to privacy in matters of procreation was created "out of thin air." He calls the Ninth Amendment -- which states that the "enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people" -- an "inkblot" without meaning. For him, the right of people to decide about birth control has nothing to do with Due Process liberty or other rights "retained by the people" -- it is the illegitimate expression of "radical individualism" on the Supreme Court.
Bork detests Roe v. Wade (1973), a decision he says has "no constitutional foundation" and is based on "no constitutional reasoning." He would overturn it and empower states to prosecute women and doctors who violate criminal abortion laws. Bork promises:
Attempts to overturn Roe will continue as long as the Court adheres to it. And, just so long as the decision remains, the Court will be perceived, correctly, as political and will continue to be the target of demonstrations, marches, television advertisements, mass mailings, and the like. Roe, as the greatest example and symbol of the judicial usurpation of democratic prerogatives in this century, should be overturned. The Court's integrity requires that.
In other words, the Court's "integrity" would require a President Romney to impose an anti-Roe v. Wade litmus test on all nominations to the Court.
Ending Heightened Scrutiny of Government Sex Discrimination under Equal Protection
Bork is the leading voice in America assailing the Supreme Court for using "heightened" Equal Protection scrutiny to examine government sex discrimination under the Fourteenth Amendment. While women and men all over America cheered the Supreme Court's 7-1 decision in United States v. Virginia (1996), the decision that forced the Virginia Military Institute to stop discriminating and to admit its first women cadets, Bork attacked it for producing the "feminization of the military," which for him is a standard and cutting insult --"feminization" is always akin to degradation and dilution of standards. He writes: "Radical feminism, an increasingly powerful force across the full range of American institutions, overrode the Constitution in United States v. Virginia." Of course, in his view, this decision was no aberration: "VMI is only one example of a feminized Court transforming the Constitution," he wrote. Naturally, a "feminized Court" creates a "feminized military."
Bork argues that, outside of standard "rational basis" review, "the equal protection clause should be restricted to race and ethnicity because to go further would plunge the courts into making law without guidance from anything the ratifiers understood themselves to be doing." This rejection of gender as a protected form of classification ignores the fact that that the Fourteenth Amendment gives "equal protection" to all "persons." But, if Bork and his acolytes have their way, decades of Supreme Court decisions striking down gender-discriminatory laws under the Equal Protection Clause will be thrown into doubt as the Court comes to examine sex discrimination under the "rational basis" test, the most relaxed kind of scrutiny. Instead of asking whether government sex discrimination "substantially" advances an "important" government interest, the Court will ask simply whether it is "conceivably related" to some "rational purpose." Remarkably, Mitt Romney's key constitutional advisor wants to turn back the clock on Equal Protection jurisprudence by watering down the standards for reviewing sex-discriminatory laws.
Judge Bork Means Business: the Case of the Sterilized Women Employees
If you don't think Bork means all this, go back and look at his bleak record as a Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Take just one Bork opinion that became a crucial point of discussion in the hearings over his failed 1987 Supreme Court nomination. In a 1984 case called Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers International Union v. American Cyanamid Co., Bork found that the Occupational Safety and Health Act did not protect women at work in a manufacturing plant from a company policy that forced them to be sterilized -- or else lose their jobs -- because of high levels of lead in the air. The Secretary of Labor had decided that the Act's requirement that employers must provide workers "employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards" meant that American Cynamid had to "fix the workplace" through industrial clean-up rather than "fix the employees" by sterilizing or removing all women workers of child-bearing age. But Bork strongly disagreed. He wrote an opinion for his colleagues apparently endorsing the view that other clean-up measures were not necessary or possible and that the sterilization policy was, in any event, a "realistic and clearly lawful" way to prevent harm to the women's fetuses. Because the company's "fetus protection policy" took place by virtue of sterilization in a hospital -- outside of the physical workplace -- the plain terms of the Act simply did not apply, according to Bork. Thus, as Public Citizen put it, "an employer may require its female workers to be sterilized in order to reduce employer liability for harm to the potential children."
Decisions like this are part of Bork's dark Social Darwinist view of America in which big corporations are always right and the law should rarely ever be interpreted to protect the rights of employees, especially women, in the workplace.
No matter how vigorously Mitt Romney shakes his Etch-a-Sketch, Americans already have an indelible picture of what a Romney-run presidency and Bork-run judiciary would look like and what it would mean for women. With Robert Bork calling the shots on the courts, a vote for Mitt Romney is plainly a vote against women's rights, women's equality and women's freedom.

Brilliant and insightful article... my thanx to the author.
Obviously, I agree with the assesment of this author, and I would simply add one salient point - the very loud, and very constant, calls on forums for a new and better sandbox, are coming from a MINORITY portion of the MMO audience... they always have been the minority, and most likely always will be. Just a simple truth... you don't have to like it... you just have to recognize it.

Never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by malice.
"On the other hand, if the game fails to live up to its own admittedly ridiculously heightened expectations, it has the potential to serve as a cautionary tale for big investors and big publishers. Too big and too broad is very likely to give way to smaller, niche targeted titles."
Based on this, I kinda want TOR to fail... I'd like to see more niche games. But on the flip side, TOR does look like a lot of fun.

Am playing devil's advocate here lately,though i feel i am given all the reason for this..i quote the writer of this article:
"It's going to look amazing, sound amazing, and run as close to lag-free as the developers can make it. It's also going to be chock full of content"
Now if you all saw this from any of us in here,any,you could have said 'what a troll'..How much worse could it be when someone working (he gets payed for this,salaries mean money,money means motive,yes even in here) in this site writes it? I'd say its big bad mojo trolling..cause in this case,they have a profit behind their reasoning. Why do i bother? Good point..except 3 years ago,we had something called Gamespot. Before it became the commercial pimp it is today. That's why. MAybe the first,but doesn't mean the last..You may flame me away now for being so critical of MMORPG's intentions here. I wish you well.

This is exactly the problem, people dont support the games they claim to want. I Played Fallen Earth for a good 8 months and loved it, the problem was most of my friends I brought to the game and made in the game didnt stick with it.
They liked aspects of it but didnt like lack of content and bugs. We had loads of fun grouped up together running missions in the first 2 zones the problem with Zone 2 was people had to pick a faction and suddenly we couldnt run quests as a group due to faction incompatability :(
I love that game but the dwindling population (the game is really dead in my timezone) meant I was finding ti difficult to progress through the higher level content and decided paying the monthly fee was a waste of money to just spend hours exploring and collecting crafting components.
I will certainly be buying SWTOR because I am a self confessed Star Wars nut and a huge Bioware fan but I recognise now that it is unlikely to be the type of MMO I really want to play and as a result if I last 4 months playing it I will be genuinely surprised.

Back on topic: The point is every MMO genre is going to have its flops.The question is where has there been the most success? in the theme park MMO genre . Companies see this and thus try to replicate past success.
Why take a chance on a niche sandox MMO when majority of the consumer is willing to fork over the cash for rehashed theme park MMO's over and over again? TOR and GW2 already emphasize this emphatically and they arent even out yet! .
The Sandbox MMO's that have released are too half assed? well if you stick with it over time it wont be.Its true with any mmo that has a rocky not so perfect start..EQ1 was terrible at the beginning,now its going on 12 years and what? 17 expansions?.OP's example of Eve and how it started out as a small,minuscule niche based mmo...not so anymore.

Biowatre have got their definition of mmo all wrong. you can have cenematic and themed gamplay where every single charecter is the savior of the universe. individual heroisation only works in single player games that is driven by story such as the 2 kotor games.
these methods and mechanics cannot and will not support a lasting interactive community in an mmo of this type.
reasons -
1/ companions remove litterally the requirement for multi player aspects of the game
2/ companions doing your crafting removes litterally another aspect of mmo gam play resulting in even more limitation of content.
3/ rail based space shooter encloses the feel of the mmo universe into a more confined space removeing anyfeel of scope and depth from the game universe.
4/ story in mmo is pointless, no one plays mmos to read stories and follow set paths crerated by devs to an eventual end game scenario, if they do then they are playing mmo's for the wrong reasons, an mmo is about an evolving realistic living world where players can interact and become part of it. this game doesnt allow for this.
5/ cenematic cut scenes to represent travel from one area to another just adds to the enclosure like feeling, a bit like being in pens with little gates leading into other little pens, game worlds today need to be flowing and transition free.
6/ this game is useing extremely old school methods for its combat system its mroe or less static combat, you select your target and all your hits are already aimed for you and automatically hit home. this renders any kind of combat/pvp boreing dull and nothing we havnt all seen in other games over the past 10 years.
7/ end game stuff pvp dungeons and so on, these things have a life expectancy, players will play these until they get bored, then they will cancel subscriptions, this is imply the way of things with games of this type. no mmo should have end game, an mmo isnt suppsoed to end an mmo is supposed to be a living breathing persistant world that the players have a hand in at changeing and altering with lasting effects.. this game will not have this.
it doesnt matter how much money you spend on a product!!!! if the product is limited to only one function then it can only be used for one thing. products as we are aware have life spans before they become obsolete. in the gameing world on average to the common gamer a new game of this type will last them at best aproximately 2 years tops. and thats pushing it. the entire games contents can be explored in less than a year just playing casual. once all content has been explored and experienced there is only one more reason to keep logging in, and thats to see your fake friends you have made online. thats not a good enough reason.
this game doesnt offer enough for the seasoned gamer, the seasoned gamer wants more from an mmo at end game other than running the same old dungeons over and over again for guild mates to get the same old crap.
i can think of only one games developer today that truely knows what an mmo is supposed to be and thats ccp.
an mmo is about a community thats is constantly in touch with the ingame mechanics and persistancy of the game world. the players make the mmo great not what the developers put into it. its no good makeing a really polished game tyhat looks great and runs smooth if it can only be played for a few months before players get fed up and bored.
this game is going to be exactly that.
putting the player in the hero and savior spotlight works a treat in a single player game such as kotor, this is supposed to be an MMO............ that kind of philosphy wont work and never has worked.
how ever swtor will survive for one reaosn and one reason alone.. the starwars fans who dont know what an mmo is. im fairly confident that when the starwars galaxies vetts see the this new game they will stick with swg. they will do this because even though swg has been brutaly maimed by soe, its still a pretty awesome starwars experience. infact i predict swtor will bringing new life to swg :)
swg does everything swtor is trying to do and much much much more.
size isnt everything -
so the op says he read somewhere this game will be the biggest, well i hate to chuck a spanner in the works but there is no way on this green earth that this game will ever manage to come close to the size of eve-online. now thats a huge game and is currently the biggest game world with the most players in a single server in the whole world.
there is no other game on the planet that can claim they have upto 40,000 players online at once in a single server!!! no game.. only eve can claim that. eve also has over 6000 areas for players to explore. and there is no level limits infact there are no levels at all, the game is in all sence of the word endless.
swtor wont flop for one reason,,, startrek online didnt flop and that has to be the worlds worst game........ and that didnt flop because of the massive fan base startrek has. starwars has a much much larger fan base. and it will be fans that are pleased with the product not the actual mmo gamers.
im both a starwars fan and mmo gamer and i wish for only one thing. they dont release this game and completely redevelop it so its more like swg crossed with eve online. playing a game as a fan isnt enough for me with my understand and experience of mmo's i know more is possible than what is being presented at present. and i also know bioware have little interest in what a true mmo is.

All that said, BioWare has done a great job in bringing the Star Wars universe to an MMO. And when you consider the entire game is different for each of the four player classes (Sith Warrior, Bounty Hunter, Smuggler and Trooper) with zero repetition of quests between them, you're looking at a doubly massive MMO.

So much crap being said here again about storydriven PvE, FFAPvP, themeparks and sandboxes...
Titles like WoW only have a chance to succeed, if there's tons of readily available content to play with and it have to have lot's of interesting dungeons as end-game-content you actually want to play more often then a single time.
In the category of sandboxes, and more precisely the type like EvE Online with FFA PvP, there need to be safe areas and consequences for killing others in those safe areas. Otherwise it'll turn into a brainless gankfest and fail.
All it comes down to these days is the question: "Is it feature-ready and polished on release or not."

I've played mmo as long as the typical mmo player, started in UO back in 97 and played loads of games before that.
In pretty much all mmos, I read the quest text one time on my main chaqracter and then anytime I'm playin an alt I just burn through the options to get to the end. I imagine alot of mmo players are like me. I'm not going to get anything new from reading the quest text on my 7th max level character.
I enjoy the difference between classes and the vastness or worlds. I don't care much for what some npc has to say on some planet that costs them 30$ an hour. Wether he sounds like James Earl Jones or just has text.

No mercy can be given, once mercy is refused
Great article. you hit the nail on the head. And even though you explained the difference sandbox and themepark, some idiots on here still don't get it. Oh well. If DC Universe online is any indication of how well SWTOR will do, DCUO sold well, is still selling well and people are still playing it. Star Trek Online is another one. I love both games and play them equally. Honestly - Sandbox games take alot of time and effort on the gamers part. I remember playing Eve Online and Star Wars Galaxies on Day one. And it was absolutely horrible (by today's standard at least). I remember playing for whole weeks at a time. And I'm just not in that place where I can devote that much time to a game anymore. And I think alot of people fall into that category. We're the ones playing STO, & DCUO. And hopefully soon - SWTOR. I played Star Wars Galaxies up until the developers rewrote the game and made it less sandboxy (is that a word?) I felt as though they had slighted me because of all the time and effort I put into that game. They actually lost a lot of players because of it. True Sandbox games are risky. STO, DCUO, & SWTOR arent risky from a gaming standpoint. They (the developers) know that fans of the license are shoe-ins. And Hardcore gamers are going to (at the least) give it a try because its in their nature. And as long as people keep playing, they'll keep adding content. I like that I can come home from work, turn on a game (DCUO, or STO), play it for a few hours and call it quits. And when I stop playing my head doesn't hurt like it would after SWG or EO. I'm not saying those games weren't awesome because they were. I'm just saying that IMO there's room for both types and that each evolves in it's on way. I agree with the article - you can't say (well you can, but it won't do you any good) "I want a deep sandbox MMO experience" and at the same time expect said sandbox MMO to be complete with content on DAY 1. Theres nothing wrong with fast food gaming (even in MMOs). Its all in how it's presented. In the case of SWTOR, I'm a HUGE SW fan first, and a gamer second. I don't really care about it not being sandboxy (there's that word again) enough. What I care about is being able to jump into on day one and "get my star wars on" (that's slang for those not in the know) for a couple of hours. Truth be told I'll probably play way longer than that the first night because as I mentioned early, I'm big SW fanboy. I hope it succeeds. I don't wish any game to fail. I guess the answer to the question is what do you consider success or failure? Is it about the initial numbers or is it about consistant subscriber base?
