Poker Night 2 Review
Poker Night 2 (PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 [Reviewed])
Developer/Publisher: Telltale Games
Released: April 24th, 2013
In early April, Telltale Games announced a sequel to its highly popular poker simulation game, Poker Night at the Inventory. The original featured characters that spanned across different games who had gotten together once they clocked out from work in order to play some high-stakes poker. This time around, Poker Night 2 features Brock Samson from The Venture Bros., Claptrap from the Borderlands series, Ash Williams from The Evil Dead franchise, and Sam from Sam & Max as opponents. GLaDOS from the Portal series serves as the dealer. Secondary characters such as Max from Sam & Max, the Aperture Science turrets from Portal, and Steve and Mad Moxxi from Borderlands can also be seen throughout the game.
Poker Night 2 starts off with a great introduction that includes the expected comedy that we've come to love from the franchise and from the franchises in which the other participants are from. Of course, our favorite Borderlands character Steve is back with his famous greeting as well. Once your opponents have finally shown up, everyone throws in $20,000 to buy-in to the game and things are ready to roll. For anyone new to the game of poker, Telltale has included a brief tutorial slideshow that explains the rules of the game and how to beat down your opponents one-by-one.
As the cards are dealt from the auto-dealer bot under the table, the characters quickly begin to converse with one another. It's worth mentioning that the script provided for Poker Night 2 is fantastic and the banter between characters is a great draw to the game. Watching characters interact with one another that are from different game worlds gives a great insight into what it would be like if these characters got together in real life to throw down in some cards. If you're like us, you'll probably pause to listen to conversations and completely forget it's your turn to call, check, fold, or bet, resulting in the players making wisecracks about why you're taking so long. This added dialog is a good example of how the game immerses you in the experience and makes you feel like part of the gang.
The gameplay itself is very simplistic and should be easy for anyone to grasp, whether you're a casual player or not. Your button options include X to Fold, A to Check, and B to Raise with the option of changing the bet amount with the directional pad or your analog stick. Unfortunately, the animation itself isn't as fluid as it should be and you will notice slight hiccups, delays, and sometimes downright freezing that takes a moment or two to clear up. Thankfully, these little slight stops don't take away from the experience as they are few and far between. The artificial intelligence in the game isn't half bad at poker and casual players will truly enjoy the experience being offered. However, hardcore poker enthusiasts may find the game a tad more easy to master and take down, leaving you to feel like Mike McDermott rounding tables in underground New York.
Some of the best experiences in the game come when a player goes All-In. These showdowns are intense and Telltale does a fantastic job creating suspense for each drawn community card. Unfortunately, the characters continue this suspense animation even after the hand has ultimately been decided. Another gameplay related note worth mentioning is that the game does play at a relaxed pace. If you're a speed player in the online poker world or in real life, the slowness of the play may be a nuisance for you. When it comes to a title like Poker Night 2, though, you're there to enjoy the company of outrageous characters and the overall experience more-so than just speed playing through the game. Once the original tournament ends, you'll have the option to unlock items or to start a new tournament. This will also allow you to choose between Texas Hold 'em and Omaha styles of Poker.
We caution you not to bust out in PN2 as doing so will result in GlaDOS belittling you. This is both comical and shameful at the same time. You may never be the emotional rock you were before this happened, so be careful.
As you progress through Poker Night 2, you are given objectives to complete in order to have the opportunity to play for a special award from one of your opponents. These awards, when won, result in you unlocking specialty items for your Xbox Live Avatar or in-game items in Borderlands 2. Honestly, we were really excited about these as we're massive of fans of the Borderlands franchise, so these added bonuses make Poker Night 2 a great purchase. Furthermore, depending on how you do within each tournament you play, you'll be awarded with tokens. These tokens are used to purchase new decks of card, table felts, and poker chips themed around each character, including GLaDOS. When you combine these unlockables together as a matching set will change your Inventory setting to a theme from that specific game — using a full Borderlands set will let you play in Mad Moxxi's bar, for example.
Tokens aren't only used to unlock new items for Poker Night 2; they can also be used to put Moxxi to work for once. During the game, you have the opportunity to buy the other plays drinks. As you get each character more liquored up, they will slowly reveal "tells" that indicate when they're bluffing or when they have a strong hand. These are obviously invaluable if you're looking to tackle this game to max out your achievements and score some sweet cross-game swag.
Overall, Poker Night 2 is a great twist on traditional poker sims. Whether you like to play Texas Hold 'em or Omaha, these guys have you covered. While it would be awesome if they included a multiplayer component that would allow an 8-seat table (4 human players and 4 AI opponents), the single-player offered is more than enough to keep you occupied and satisfied with your purchase. It'll be interesting to see if Telltale decides to come out with DLC for this installment because the potential is there and we'd definitely let them take our money freely.

I got them for my 06 MX-5 in two tone blue and black. The seat covers & steering wheel cover fit perfectly, both are very comfortable and attractive. The blue was darker than it appeared on the website but it still looks good. I recommend these to anyone.

This is a great cover. Unfortunately it took me almost 4 hours to sew (good thing my life doesn't depend on my proficiency in that area). With all of that said Wheel Skins sent me another roll of thread so I could redo it. Now that I've done it once I'm sure I can do a much better job (I built my own house and even an award winning motorcycle so I'm not without some manipulative skills).

I think cable providers pay to carry the network for all their subscribers but have the freedom to carry it where they want. Another article mentioned that Cox had the rights for all its subscribers but opted not to carry the networks on various cable networks outside the PAC12 region. Angering, among others, Las Vegas residents, most of which wanted at least the local California networks, but are only getting the National.
Perhaps enough people demanded the channel in Cincinnati for TWC to carry them.
Real sports fans in Las Vegas likely have directv and directv has CSN CA and CSN BA feeds. + Diamondbacks with sports pack.
And the sports books all have directv. Now this is why directv needs all the feeds.

What Types of Cases do Injury Lawyers Handle?
As a result of a car or truck accident, drivers and passengers can suffer from Traumatic Brain Injuries. Often times, these injuries are minor concussions but can be more serious and need proper diagnosis and treatment. Symptoms may appear shortly after the accident or in some cases days or weeks after the injury. In either case you need to seek medical attention immediately.
First, second and third degree burns can be very serious and require medical treatment. Car fires, chemical exposure, electrocution and industrial accidents can all cause severe burn injuries which may require surgery or skin grafts.
Sexual assault and rape can occur in many places including apartment complexes and hotels. The physical and psychological effects can take many forms such as sexually transmitted infections (STI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression just to name a few. In many cases a building owner, property manager or business may be found negligent for not ensuring that their properties are safe and secure places for people to live or stay during a vacation. If you were the victim of a sexual assault or rape because of another party's negligence you need to contact a personal injury lawyer to ensure that your claim will result in a settlement that allows you to deal with the physical and psychological effects.
Broken arms are one of the most common injuries that can happen to any of us. All types of activities like contact sports, hiking, rock-climbing and skiing can result in broken arms. When it comes to personal injury we see broken arms from people injured in car wrecks, truck accidents, workplace injuries, balcony injuries and slip and falls. If you have been injured and someone else was at fault contact our personal injury lawyers now!
Children and men are more likely than anyone else to be bitten by a dog. Dog bite injuries can affect muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels along with the risk of infection. If the bite was the result of the owner's or someone else's negligence a personal injury lawyer can seek the compensation you deserve to get medical attention and recover from your injuries.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ("PTSD")
The victims of serious accidents and near-death experiences are often left with issues relating to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder – otherwise commonly known as PTSD. This condition is a serious as the physical injuries sustained and can require years and years of therapy to deal with the issue.
The spinal cord is one of the most important parts of the human body as it transmits information from the brain to muscles instructing our legs to walk and arms and hands to lift. It also transmits sensory information from all of our extremities to the brain when we encounter hot or cold sensations. Injuries can be caused by a serious blow to the back that fractures discs and bruises or tears the spinal cord. These can be VERY serious injuries resulting in permanent paralysis of upper and lower limbs. Car accidents, truck accidents and falls are the most commons causes of spinal cord injury. Contact us today if you have suffered a spinal cord injury.

Electricity moves though the human body quickly and can cause injuries such as burns, internal injury even cardiac arrest. Homeowners who rent electrical equipment such as generators, blowers, dryers and drain cleaners do so to renovate or perform maintenance. Any electrical equipment used, especially industrial strength, needs to be properly maintained and free of any design defects. If you come in contact with exposed wire while the unit is on, an electrical shock can cause serious injury. Children playing in public places or playgrounds are also susceptible to injury if they encounter exposed wire.
Many of our homes and businesses use natural gas such as methane, propane or butane for furnaces, boilers and cooking appliances. Gas is delivered through a network of distribution lines directly to our homes. Just like electricity, gas can be very dangerous if it leaks which can cause huge explosions. Those who maintain our streets or distribution lines must be extremely careful. If you have been injured as a result of an explosion contact our personal injury lawyers.
What damages are available in a personal injury case?
The damages that can be recovered in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit depend upon the severity of the actions of the negligent party. Once negligence (duty, breach of the duty) and causation (the injury sustained was a result of the accident/negligence) are established in a truck, car, machinery or other accident or incident, or as a result of medical negligence due to physician or surgeon mistake, it is necessary to evaluate the damages that can be recovered by the victim.
Typical damages that are recoverable in personal injury cases include;
- Past and future physical pain and suffering
- Physical pain includes so much more than just the onset of pain you experienced at the time of the wreck or accident. It includes the pain you endured when having broken bones reset, or undergoing a series of skin grafts due to serious burns, or any number of medical procedures necessary to treat the injuries you suffered as a result of someone's negligence.
- Past Medical Expenses
- Your medical bills may remain unpaid or you may be entitled to be reimbursed for the expenses you incurred as a result of the treatment you need for your injuries. You may also recover future medical expenses to treat ongoing or long-term conditions brought about by your injuries.
- Punitive (Exemplary) Damages
- In some cases where a person or company's negligence is extreme punitive damages may be awarded over and above compensatory damages. An example would be an employee who is seriously injured or killed while working for an industrial or construction company who refuses to provide safe working conditions or safety training to their workforce.
- Past and Future Disfigurement
- Disfigurements include scars and scarring resulting from lacerations received in the accident or post operatively. Disfigurement may also occur as a result of loss of limb or appendage, or improperly healed fractures.
- Past and Future Physical Impairment
- Such impairments may limit your ability to take care of yourself, tend to your normal daily routine, go to work, drive a car, walk, run, or participate in other activities you enjoyed prior to being injured in an accident. Physical impairment may be temporary, permanent, or long-term.
- Loss of Past Wages
- Loss of past wages is not limited to recovery by the injured person. In the event of a wrongful death action, a decedent's lost wages may be recovered by the widow or widower or parent or heirs at law.
- Loss of Future Earning Capacity
- Just like past wages, this loss is not limited to recovery by the injured person. In the event of a wrongful death action, a decedent's loss of future earning capacity may be recovered by the widow or widower or parent or heirs at law.
- Loss of Consortium
- Sometimes the injuries to one person are so severe it injures the relationship within the family. Loss of consortium has been defined in Texas as an emotional and intangible element in a marital relationship so it is broad enough to include a wide variety of elements. It can therefore include the mutual right of spouses to affection, assistance, comfort, companionship, solace, and many other things. Generally, the loss must be significant enough so as to be worthy of compensation.
- Loss of Household Services
- In some cases, one spouse may be entitled to compensation for loss of domestic service typically performed by the other spouse.

At the woods' edge, three yellow hats: iris gone feral. A hummingbird rockets back and forth through the lilac, showing off for a female.
At the woods' edge, three yellow hats: iris gone feral. A hummingbird rockets back and forth through the lilac, showing off for a female.
A rabbit in the rain eats grass the way I eat ramen, one long strip disappearing into its mouth, drops flying. A hummingbird buzzes my face.
A flat white sky. The ambiguous gestures of random leaves, waving or perhaps drowning in the thick air. A hummingbird is here and gone.
Another perfect morning. A hummingbird lifts off from the bergamot, tailed closely by a moth. The quiet, anxious calls of a titmouse.
Below the porch, I notice a single orange jewelweed overlooked by the deer. The hummingbird zips right past it on her way to the garden.
Cool and quiet. A female hummingbird ignores the bergamot to drink from the soapwort, their plain, pale faces glowing in the weak sunshine.
The sudden buzz of a hummingbird rocketing back and forth in a mad parabola of attraction, the female watching from a dead lilac limb.
An early-morning storm rumbles off to the north. Flashes of scarlet: tanager at the woods' edge, ruby-throated hummingbird at the beebalm.
A light mist rises from the rain-soaked grass. Just as I'm writing this, a hummingbird buzzes in to inspect the red lettering on my T-shirt.
Heard but not seen: a hummingbird skirmish. The mist thickens to drizzle, and right on cue a yellow-billed cuckoo—so-called rain crow—calls.
Above the almost-blooming lilac, a hummingbird is doing his courtship display, rocketing back and forth like the pendulum of a crazed clock.
The groundhog that woke me with its bumping under the floor grazes serenely on wild onions. The first hummingbird zooms past the porch.
A furious buzzing from around the house where hummingbirds duel over the last few beebalm flowers. A half-grown fawn emerges from the woods.
Two catbirds tangle in the air above the stream. A hummingbird dive-bombs a gnatcatcher. The first great-crested flycatcher holds forth.
Strange cries coming from the powerline—mammalian, possibly ursine. I'm mesmerized by the sun on the creek. The first hummingbird zips past.
Thin clouds; the sun is a bright smear. A hummingbird hovers over the spent flowers in my garden, nudging a yellow leaf with her bill.

251 275 U.S. 1 New Rochelle, NY - New Rochellea few paving stones are missing on sidewalk in huguenot/memorial hwy park entrance. For over 6 months the entrance has been locked and blocked with Parks & Recreation barricades around it. I see people and kids climbing over the fence all the time to exit the park near that corner, Its inevitable that someone is going to slip and impale themselves pretty bad on the spike fence. If the city is so afraid of someone getting hurt, they would have just fixed the pavers and opened the gate.

Murray Ave And Maple Hill Drive Larchmont, NY - NY State Senate District 37
I am sick and tired of the intentional (and accidental) running of the stop sign on Murray at Maple Hill. One of these days, somebody is going to sideswipe a car pulling from Maple Hill onto Murray.
I complained a year or so ago, and they installed some reflective tape on the stop signs. I think a speed bump just prior to the stop signs (in both directions) on Murray at Maple Hill would be a good solution. That would give the unknowing the cue to slow down and stop, and would force the intentional to at least slow down for the stop sign. If speed bumps are rejected, then rumble strips might provide some sort of a cue to stop.

The 1993 Elections in Jordan
Amawi, Abla M., Arab Studies Quarterly (ASQ)
In November 1993, Jordanians went to the polls to elect the lower house of parliament (the Chamber of Deputies) for the second time since the onset of liberalization in the late 1980s.(1) Some 821,000 of 1,203,329 registered voters (68%) cast ballots in a generally free election,(2) a 4.7% increase over the number of persons voting in the previous elections of November 1989.(3) A total of 536 candidates representing numerous parties, tendencies, and tribes competed for the 80 seats. Yet despite the greater attention devoted to the ground-breaking 1989 elections, the first since liberalization and one of the first nation-wide indications of the strength of Islamic political trends, the recent elections marked a more significant development in Jordanian politics and warrant closer scrutiny. Three issues account for this significance: the new legal atmosphere in which the elections were held, the changing nature of campaigning and political maneuvering engendered by the democratic experiment, and the conceptualization of political identity in Jordan which was revealed by the outcome.
The 1993 elections marked an important step in the consolidation of Jordanian democracy because they were the first held in the new and liberalized legal atmosphere forged during four years of the democratic experience which began in 1989. While the 1989 balloting was regarded as free, the elections were nonetheless held under the terms of martial law, including the ban on legal political parties and restrictions on the press. Thanks to the Political Parties Law of September 1992 and the Press and Publications Law of December 1992, the 1993 elections were the first national elections in which political parties were allowed to campaign legally and relatively freely since the elections of 1956, the last before parties were banned in 1957.
The elections were also significant because of an important change in the way in which voters selected candidates. The increased number of eligible/registered voters over the 1989 elections is partially explained by the number of Jordanian citizens returning from the Gulf countries following the Gulf War (about 100,000 returnees registered to vote)(4) and increased trust in the regime and its attempts at democratization. Yet a vital factor in the increase was the introduction, in August 1993, of a "one-person, one-vote" formula into the Election Law, changing the former system of multiple votes. This change led politicians as well as kinship units such as tribes and clans to feel that they stood a better chance at winning seats under the new law by mobilizing their kin/affiliates to vote. This in turn led to a concerted effort to register voters, collect voting cards, and prompt voters to actually cast ballots.
In fact, the change introduced into the election law was one of the major factors influencing the election results. The law in effect during the 1989 elections designated a specific number of seats for each of the country's twenty electoral districts, and gave each voter a number of votes equal to the number of seats designated for his/her district. Thus, the voter in Amman's second District cast three ballots for the three designated seats in that district, while a voter in the Irbid governorate voted for nine candidates corresponding to its nine designated seats. By contrast, the change in the electoral law allowed only one vote for each voter, regardless of the number of seats designated for his/her district. Therefore a voter in Amman's second district would vote only for one candidate under the new law. The three candidates who received the highest votes in that district were seated in parliament. Because of this new situation, the nature of campaigning and tactics was also changed (see below).
Despite the seemingly progressive nature of the new "one person, one vote" formula, a narrower political agenda is discernable when one considers that the amendment to the Election Law was introduced by the government to improve the fortunes of candidates representing pro-regime constituencies and to weaken well-organized groups. …

Jimmy Kimmel pitted 'The Flying Nun' against the 'Pretty Woman' in an epic war of words. Who do you think will win? Watch this hysterical video to find out!
The late-night landscape remains in upheaval, first by David Letterman's decision to retire from the 'Late Show,' followed by Stephen Colbert's ascension to the throne, and finally heir apparent Craig Ferguson's decision to leave the 'Late Late Show.' Controversy has proven to a minimum, but Letterman still stepped up to speak out on Ferguson's departure, while CBS may not yet court a replacement for some time.
We'd already known that 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' star Andrew Garfield would make his 'SNL' hosting debut in early May, but the final hosts of the season web up much more excitement. Not only will Charlize Theron return for her second time on the 'SNL' stage, but distinguished alum and 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' host Andy Samberg will return to make his hosting debut for the finale!
The word is that AC/DC will never tour or record again. We're not sure how true the rumors are, but if it is true then mark the date of June 28, 2010 in Bilbao, Spain as the end of the line...
Let's be honest: the last two 'Die Hard' movies were almost unwatchable. There's little Fox could do to get us excited for a 'Die Hard 6' at this point, but what little there is to do, they're at least trying to do. Early reports suggest that Fox is working on a 'Die Hard 6' story that would reunite John McClane (Bruce Willis) and Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson), the co-stars of the last good 'Die Hard' movie.
This is easily one of the coolest musical mash-ups I have ever heard!
Well, that was fast! Just one week after David Letterman dropped the 'Late Show' bombshell that he would retire in 2015, his replacement has officially been announced. Following early and decisive rumors, Stephen Colbert will officially leave behind Comedy Central's 'Colbert Report' to ascend the late-night throne as the new host of CBS' 'The Late Show.' You're welcome, nation!

"Walking the high trails (3)" Parc National des Pyrénées Occidentales Things to Do Tip by kokoryko
Parc National des Pyrénées Occidentales Things to Do: 24 reviews and 115 photos
It is of course on the high trails where you have the greatest views over the mountains; sometimes, you feel like "over the mountains", your view encompasses hundreds of kilometres, the summits you see are far outside the map. . . . . . I sometimes feel "above the clouds" like in this country song, adapted from German singer Reinhard Mey: Over the Mountains.
Walking to Monte Perdido is among the great experiences you can have in the Pyrénées; many people walk up there in Summer, coming from Spain or from France. Monte Perdido (main picture) is the second highest peak of the Pyrénées, the highest limestone mountain in Europe (3353 m) and you have to be equipped to get there, as you have to walk on glaciers. You will meet some locals walking high in July like this isard (picture 2), crossing a snow field. Going to Monte Perdido via the Port Neuf de la Pinède pass, is not a direct route, but from there, you have a great view on Valle de Pineta (picture3); coming from North (France), in order to reach the Collado del Cilindro, before the last climb to Monte Perdido, you have to walk the 250m elevation difference on the Marboré Glacier (picture 4).
The Lac Glacé and the melting snow (picture 5) are the headwaters of the Barranco de Pineta, the small river which then falls in numerous waterfalls in the Valle de Pineta.

Fugitive caught in Bellows FallsMarch 02,2013
BELLOWS FALLS A 22-year-old Vermont man is in prison more than a month after fleeing a drug rehabilitation program.
Bellows Falls police said Zachariah McAllister, of Westminster, was found early Thursday hiding in a basement after officers tracked suspicious footprints in the snow to a cellar bulkhead at the Front Street apartment building.
There were two active warrants for McAllister. The warrants include burglary, unlawful mischief, drug possession and sales charges.
In January, McAllister accepted a plea agreement on burglary and other charges and was given an opportunity to participate in a Brattleboro rehabilitation program.
The Claremont Eagle Times reported that McAllister left the program early on Jan. 24 and he avoided capture for more than a month.

A dog that has been living in the basement of a Shoreline house for most of four years — the past two months with its owner out of town — will be at the King County animal shelter in Kent indefinitely. It's also possible that Lucky might go back to his owner, says a King...
Lucky is free from the basement where he's spent almost half his life, but the dog might remain at the King County animal shelter indefinitely as the owner is being investigated for animal cruelty, said shelter operations manager Glynis Frederiksen.
If no charges are filed or if the owner is found not guilty, the dog will be returned, Frederiksen said Wednesday afternoon. The owner wants him back, she said.
Nine-year-old Lucky had been locked in a basement for most of four years, neighbors say. The past two months the owner has been gone and her ex-husband sporadically fed and watered the dog. He agreed Wednesday morning to let King County Regional Animal Services officers take Lucky until the legal issues are resolved.
The man told the animal-control officer that Lucky had the run of the house and wasn't locked in the basement as neighbors said when they complained about Lucky's constant barking and saw him through the basement's glass doors.

"I've put up with that little dog for eight years," said Hildur Hanna, who lives next door. The dog's owners moved into the house on 23rd Avenue Northeast nine years ago and got the dog a year later. For the first few years, Lucky was confined to the backyard, where he barked incessantly, neighbors said.
"He's a beautiful dog. I hope whoever gets him gives that dog a lot of love," Hanna said.
Brooke Bascom, spokeswoman for animal control, said there were a variety of allegations used to get the search warrant for the home on 23rd Avenue Northeast in Shoreline, but she didn't elaborate. She said the investigating officer would be talking to the neighbors and collecting photos shot from the neighbor's property to determine whether or not to file charges against the owner.
The owner could not be reached for comment.
Wednesday afternoon, Lucky, an American Eskimo mix, sat trembling in a corner of a kennel at the Kent shelter.
Kelly Page of the Dogs Deserve Better advocacy group is angry that Lucky is again confined, with no immediate hope of release to a foster home or to Pasado's Safe Haven, which specializes in rehabilitating traumatized animals and agreed to take him.
Because there's a pending criminal case against the owners, Lucky must remain at the Kent shelter, Frederiksen said. He has been seen by a veterinarian, she said, though she wouldn't comment on his condition.
"As horrific as this is, it's not uncommon," Frederiksen said. A tiny dachshund remains indefinitely in a nearby kennel after being abandoned in a house that had been foreclosed. And in a row of nearby kennels are a variety of other dogs whose owners are facing cruelty charges.
There are 36 active animal-cruelty or -neglect cases ongoing in King County.

Atlanta, GA (AP) -- Sheriff's deputies and a moving crew were about
to evict a woman and her daughter from their Atlanta home but
decided not to go through with it after they saw the women.
WSB-TV reports that Fulton County deputies and the movers, who had been hired by a bank, showed up Tuesday at the home on Penelope Road in northwest Atlanta. The home is shared by 103-year-old Vita Lee and her 83-year-old daughter.
Bank officials said Wednesday that an arrangement will be worked
out to let the women stay in the home.
Lee said she knew the deputies were coming to evict her, but
that God wouldn't let them do the wrong thing. Lee said the two
have lived in the home for 53 years.

Arriving ahead of her duties as one of tonight's (November 9) presenters, Ginnifer Goodwin was spotted on the red carpet at the 2011 Country Music Association Awards.

There is probably no group of diseases regarding which more confusion has existed than the diseases of the blood and of the blood-forming organs. The relation which exists between the different forms of leukemia, and the relations which this disease bears to chloroma and to lymphosarcoma, have given rise to endless discussion, much of which has been profitless and even rendered confusion more confounded on account of the lack of definiteness in the use of terms. In recent years, much light has been shed on the dark places by more careful study of the bone-marrow, and by more minute histologic examination, but much yet remains to be cleared up.
The question of the relation of the peculiar disease known as chloroma to the leukemias is an old one, and a close relationship has been suspected for some time. In a recent study of a case of chloroma, Dock and Warthin

With Department Steeped In Scandal, L.A. County Sheriff Will Retire
With his department steeped in scandal, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca announced he would retire at the end of the month.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Baca said he would not seek reelection for a fifth term as sheriff.
"The reasons for doing so are so many. Some are most personal and private, but the prevailing one is the negative perception this upcoming campaign has brought to the exemplary service provided to the men and women of the Sheriff's Department," Baca said.
As NPR member station KPCC reports, Baca is stepping down:
"... amid a growing scandal over inmate abuse at the jails that saw [more than a dozen] deputies charged with crimes. Some of those deputies are also accused of attempting to obstruct an FBI investigation into the Sheriff's Department."
The Los Angeles Times reports that Baca was also facing a tough political climate.
"He already faced challenges from his former top aide, Paul Tanaka, and retired Cmdr. Bob Olmsted," the Times reports. "Baca had ousted Tanaka last year amid allegations of brutality by deputies in the jails and other problems."
The AP reports that Baca did not answer questions about whether he was worried that he may be indicted as part of the federal probe. The AP adds:
"Baca had weathered other controversies about his department but the indictments came as the strongest challenge to his legacy. The announcement came as a surprise less than a month after Baca defiantly said the criminal investigation wouldn't drive him from office. He said he began thinking about retirement over this past weekend.
"'I don't think anyone expected this,' Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe said. 'We're all caught a bit off guard.'
"Because Baca is not serving out his term the five-member Board of Supervisors will be tasked with choosing an interim sheriff. Baca recommended Assistant Sheriff Terri McDonald."
Baca's term was due to expire near the end of the year.
