MedInformatix RIS Improves 60-Year-Old Radiology Business' Cash Flow and Accounts Receivable, Speeding Accounts Receivable on Full Breadth of Imaging Procedures
LOS ANGELES, July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Upon its founding more than 60 years ago, Robert D. Russo M.D. and Associates Radiology's business and model was infinitely more simple than what technology, the nation's economy and medical insurance practices have conspired to make the six-location Fairfield County, Conn., medical imaging practice today. And that's a good thing. Changes driving this new paradigm have dramatically improved diagnoses and treatments through the ongoing improvement of X-ray technology and the development of mammography, ultrasound, CAT scans, PET-CT, MRI, DEXA and imaging guided procedures.
Though unrelated, life-improving and often lifesaving medical developments on the patient treatment side have advanced seemingly in lockstep with cash flow challenges, as well as complex insurance and other regulations that Robert D. Russo M.D. Sr. couldn't have imagined when he launched the business. Against this backdrop, the practice six years ago received a booster shot with the purchase and implementation of MedInformatix' Radiology Information System (

Guardians:Fight For Freedom Chapter Five
Book by: Rachel1712
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
Chapter1 (v.1) - Guardians:Fight For Freedom Chapter Five
Chapter Five
The sun rose high above the treetops, its rays heating the surrounding air. It was scorching. Faro awoke, stretched his arms and noticed Kellen sitting next to the fire with a pot; Faro laughed, "How long have you been awake". Kellen turned around "Long enough to know that you snore, badly"
"I don't snore"
"oh I beg to differ"
"Right, what are you doing?"
"Yes I can see that" Faro said sarcastically.
"Then why did you ask"
"I was asking what is in the pot"
"Oh its stewed hare"
"Oh well. Do you need a hand?"
"Actually, yes you can skin the hares"
"You …want me to skin the furry rabbits"
"There hares and yes, is it a problem"
"No, I love skinning cute animals" Faro replied again. Kellen handed the hares over to Faro and gave him a huge knife.
"Here you go, have fun" Faro turned away and sat down. Dane was now sitting across from them, and appeared to be carving something. Jeven's voice could be heard in the forest, and he called to Darian and Finn. They both walked sleepily over. Finn nearly stumbled over a loose branch and Darian bumped into him. Dane shook his head and continued carving. Dante looked over Dane's shoulder and whispered "You still carving that thing"
"Yes why"
"No reason… you're still not over their deaths. Are you?"
"No they were our parents, should I not care"
"We have already mourned their loss; get over it. It's time to move on"
"Perhaps you're right" Dane looked at the carving of his parents, and threw it into the forest. Dante smiled and walked over to Faro. Dante sat next to him and picked up a knife, Faro smirked at him and Dante looked down and paid no attention to him. He began to cut into the flesh and chopped the meat into chunks, he then threw them into the boiling water. Kellen watched as he did so.
After a few hours, Kellen lifted seven bowls out of his pack and scooped some stew into each one. Dante called over to Jeven, Finn and Darian. They came rushing in. Dane looked puzzling at them "Where did you guys go"
"Scouting, barbarians lurk in this forest, I'd rather know if their close, than be ambushed" Jeven replied.
"Point taken, Darian you look terrible" Faro spoke
"Yer well, I don't do forests, especially forest that are covered in disgusting black ooze. When can we leave?"
"After lunch, we have to keep up our strength" Replied Kellen. Kellen then handed the bowls out to the other commanders; they all sat around the campfire.
They were all silent, not even the wind could be heard. Finn broke the silence "So what's your stories then" all the commanders shot angry glances at him. "What? Just making small talk; fine I will go first then" Finn placed his bowl onto the floor. He looked into the fire, its orange flames flickering, "I was born in one of the elven hostels in Argon, my mother died while I was very young, my father killed himself after he found out I had magic, because magic is seen as evil, so my sister had to look after me". The other commanders listened quietly; Finn continued "She kept me safe, when I was sixteen, the human lord who had kept us as slaves killed my sister. I lost control and killed him, I ran as fast as I could, and the emperor found me hiding in an abandoned house. He said I could join the army and that my powers would be of use to him and over time i raised to the rank of commander. That's my story" Jeven looked at Finn sorrowfully "I'm sorry about what happened to your family" Finn smiled back.
Jeven sighed "Well I might as well go next then. I was born in Argon to a noble mother and warrior father, I was trained to fight and succeed by my father. The emperor saw that I had great skill and recruited me into the army, it took a year for me to become a commander" Darian spooned some stew into his mouth and swallowed. "My story… I was born in Argon and I killed a man, I went on the run and the emperor took me in" Darian paused "ah those were the good old days" Darian answered.
"You seem oddly cheerful about it" Dane added
"Hell yer, I mean, I killed a man. I was about to be hanged and the emperor stopped them just before they pulled the lever. I was so sure I was going to die and then I was freed. So yer I am cheerful…I'd rather be alive then be in a ditch somewhere" Darian laughed and pulled out a flask out of his pack and took a swig of whiskey.
"As you can see me and Dane are identical twins, we grew up on Marda Island. The small island off the coast of the frosted village" Dante said.
"We ran away from home at aged seventeen, we decided we were better off on our own" added Dane. Dante nodded to Dane and Dante continued "We led a band of bandits in Marda Island and we trained them to fight, after that we left and joined Barerin's army at twenty, and just recently we found out that our parents have…passed"
"I grew up in the frosted village, I had a wife and a son. They were murdered so I left and I travelled for a while then I joined the army" Faro added.
"I also grew up in the frosted village, I was trained as a hunter and I am skilled with a bow. The emperor thought I could be useful in training soldiers in survival techniques. He said that there was no one that could equal my ability with a bow and promoted me to commander and that's it".
The tree branches rustled nearby, Kellen was already alert and had his bow out. Jeven signalled to Dante and Dane who stood at back holding their weapons close. Kellen was cautious, he watched the trees closely, and then suddenly an arrow flew across Finn face and hit a tree. Kellen focused between the trees, and began firing. He heard a shout and then they were upon them, a group of barbarians. Faro spun his daggers and threw one at one of the barbarians, it hit him in the chest. The blood squirted out of the wound, he ran over and removed his dagger from the body. Faro looked over to Darian who was swinging his flail in all directions. Finn glowed red he focused hard on a barbarian, whose flesh began to boil and peel, and with that he explode. Finn grinned and laughed, Jeven shouted back "Finn, damn it, stay focus" Finn nodded back.
Dane deflected one of the arrows; he used his shield to deflect more oncoming arrows. Kellen fired a volley of arrows that took out three of them, they collapsed. Dante jumped onto the last one and wedged his blade into the man's shoulder blade, he yelled in pain. Dante jumped off and Jeven swung his great sword around and decapitated the man. His head rolled across the floor.
Faro sighed heavily, and Finn cheered "Now that's what I am talking about"
"Damn barbarians" grumbled Darian.
"We should leave; I mean you've heard the stories about the darkened forest. The forest of the dead they called it. They say the very trees are possessed and legends also say that sorceress's live here and summon unholy creatures to do the bidding" added Faro.
"Lucky we haven't encountered any creatures like that" Finn gulped.
The commanders gathered their belongings, Kellen extinguished the campfire. While Dante and Dane collected the corpses and placed them into a pile, Finn glowed orange and his hands exploded into flames, then he pulled his hands together and ball of blazing fire formed. He shot the burning ball at the pile. The bodies were ignited and were engulfed in the beautiful ambers. The smell of burning corpses could be smelled for miles. The commanders left as quickly as they could as creatures and others will come to investigate.
"Hurry up, Darian" Finn shouted
"Shut up, you stupid pointed eared moron. I am a dwarf I don't have the luxury of long legs" Darian yelled angrily.
"Ha, do you want me to carry you?"
"Haha funny, everyone take the piss out of the dwarf, stay the hell away from me-
"Enough we must be quiet and travel quickly" Jeven interrupted
"Sorry boss" Darian replied.
They travelled through the west of the forest; Kellen was in front as a skilled hunter. He could see hidden traps and signs of creatures, then followed Jeven and Faro who had their weapons ready. Dante and Dane stayed back with Finn, who provided the light source, his staff illuminating the way forward, while Darian struggled to keep up.
Kellen paused and peered around. "The way out is about four miles north, if we keep up this pace we will be out of here by nightfall"
"We keep going" Jeven ordered, all commanders nodded and continued forward.
They reached the edge of the forest. Dane sighed with relief "Thank god we're out of there"
"You can say that again" Added Darian.
"How far are we from the Darklands?" asked Finn.
"I believe two and a half miles north" Kellen replied.
"Then we must keep moving" ordered Jeven.
It was raining and the harsh wind hit their faces like whips of ice, the rain made the path muddy and slippery, Faro walked beside Kellen.
"So, you still haven't answered my question" Faro whispered, Kellen sighed heavily.
"You're still harping on this, this is pointless-
"No its not, please think about this, are you really going to help slaughter a child, a child-
"Are you?"
"Am I What?"
"When the time comes, are you going to stand with us or against us?"
"I don't know, I will do what I see is right"
"Well, if I was you don't bring this up around the other commanders; they might think you are a traitor"
"If they see me as a traitor, then so be it"
"Faro, please watch yourself"
"Kellen, don't worry I will be fine"
Finn peered down at the floor "Yuk, I am gonna get mud all over my nice new boots" he mumbled.
Darian laughed "Aww and nobody wants your girly boots ruined"
"There not girly"
"Hah, sure whatever you say"
"Shut up dwarf"
"Stupid drunk dwarf, I bet he can't even see. He's that plastered" Finn muttered under his breath.
They carried down along the path. The rain was beginning to clear and sun peered through the clouds, and the commanders were nearing their destination. The Darkland's walls could be seen, Faro stared at the walls and looked down. He thought for a moment I can't kill a child, they are going to kill everyone, they are monks and villagers, simple folk not warriors, I won't kill them.

Clusters of Galaxies: Beyond the Thermal View
€ 219,49
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
Juli 2008
BeschreibungThe existence of soft excess emission originating from clusters of galaxies, de ned as em- sion detected below 1 keV in excess over the usual thermal emission from hot intracluster gas (hereafter the ICM) has been claimed since 1996. Soft excesses are particularly - portant to detect because they may (at least partly) be due to thermal emission from the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium, where as much as half of the baryons of the Universe could be. They are therefore of fundamental cosmological importance. Soft excess emission has been observed (and has also given rise to controversy) in a number of clusters, mainly raising the following questions: (1) Do clusters really show a soft excess? (2) If so, from what spatial region(s) of the cluster does the soft excess or- inate? (3) Is this excess emission thermal, originating from warm-hot intergalactic gas (at 6 temperatures of?10 K), or non-thermal, in which case several emission mechanisms have been proposed. Interestingly, some of the non-thermal mechanisms suggested to account for soft excess emission can also explain the hard X-ray emission detected in some clusters, for example by RXTE and BeppoSAX (also see Petrosian et al. 2008-Chap. 10, this issue; Rephaeli et al. 2008-Chap. 5, this issue).

Mourning the death of Penelope Fitzgerald, we mourned the end of books issuing from that fine, compassionate mind. What a joy to be proved wrong: the work continues to appear posthumously. First we had a collection of short stories, The Means of Escape. Now this volume of selected writings demonstrates Fitzgerald's mature genius as a discriminating reader and critic. These collected essays, reviews and pieces of journalism compose a magical lucky dip: every page offers insights to savour, calm, humorous prose to relish.
Fitzgerald told the French newspaper Libération: "I am drawn to people who seem to have been born defeated or, even, profoundly lost. They are ready to assume the conditions the world imposes on them, but they don't manage to submit to them, despite their courage and their best efforts... When I write it is to give these people a voice." All her novels bear this out. Hermione Lee, in her elegant and penetrating introduction, puts Fitzgerald's declaration into a social context: "At the heart of her intellectual passions is a political commitment to an English tradition of creative socialism, a vision at once utopian and practical, of art as work and of the usefulness of art to its community. Her English heroes are Blake, Ruskin, Burne-Jones, William Morris, Lutyens. She is inspired by Morris's dedication to 'the transformation of human existence throughout the whole social order'."
Fitzgerald's interests and passions displayed here run wide and deep. She contributes fresh insights on canonical works, lifts up for our admiration writers called minor, but is neither over-reverential nor parochial. As Hermione Lee points out, she could relish both Carol Shields and James Joyce, Roddy Doyle and D H Lawrence, Beckett and Charlotte Mew.
Dry humour is her forte. Her comment on Radclyffe Hall's celebrated lesbian novel, The Well of Loneliness, is characteristically pithy: "At heart, The Well is a nice long solid Great War period romantic novel. The ethos is that of If Winter Comes, or The Forsyte Saga." She is tart about another grande dame, Dorothy Sayers: "When she dined at Somerville High Table, as she quite often did in the late 1930s, we used to look up at Dorothy Sayers as she sat there in black crepe de Chine, austere, remote, almost cubical. She told the dean that the students dressed badly and had no sense of occasion. We resented this because we felt that, although most of us had not much money, we had done the best we could." Sayers was, she acknowledges, an influential public figure: "But there were many strong-minded women, in sensible hats, on call at that time, and it is heartening to remember that Dorothy Sayers's influence was due to an imaginary detective who had 'walked in complete with spats' in 1920 and who was not at first meant to be taken seriously."
Fitzgerald can also sound a note of sorrowful reproach. Reviewing the "superb" second volume of Richard Holmes's biography of Coleridge, Darker Reflections, she balances Coleridge's brilliance against his instability: "In January 1813 a play, which he had written many years earlier and now renamed Remorse, was put on at the Drury Lane theatre. It was an unexpected success, and he received £400 (although in a few months he was penniless.) Meanwhile, news came that the Wordsworths' dearly loved little son Tom had died. Coleridge dithered, delayed, and did not go to Grasmere. Can he be forgiven? On the other hand, during one of his worst periods of opium overdose and suicidal depression he rallied himself, God knows how, to write five articles in praise of the paintings of his old friend Washington Allston. His manic energy and generosity have to be set against his recurrent paralysis of the will, when he could be becalmed like the Mariner on his stagnant sea." Similarly, discussing Anthony Thwaite's edition of the selected letters of Philip Larkin, she reminds us: "Who would want to be answerable for everything they've said, in private letters, to friends they hope to amuse?" So she can swallow Larkin describing women colleagues in Belfast as "old Sowface" and "old Bagface", Blake as an ass, Byron as a bore, Ted Hughes as "a boring old monolith", and so on. But "More distressing by far are his general opinions, forcibly expressed... If they represent what he really or even sometimes felt, immigration... must be made illegal before every household in the land is overrun... How seriously were his correspondents supposed to take all this? I think quite seriously. When I was working in an unimportant capacity for the British Arts Council Literary Panel, Larkin was asked for advice on the funding of ethnic arts centres. He replied that anyone lucky enough to be allowed to settle here had a duty to forget their own culture and try to understand ours." Yet she is clearly charmed by the young Larkin's love letters to Patsy Strang: "You are the sort of person one can't help feeling (in a carping kind of way) ought to come one's way once in one's life." When Patsy decamps to Paris, Larkin tells her she is like "a rocket, leaving a shower of sparks to fall on the old coal shed as you whoosh upwards".
Although Penelope Fitzgerald does not shy away from speaking personally when necessary, leaving us in no doubt about her own aesthetic and moral opinions, she wrote little explicit autobiography. Perhaps the closest we get to that dance of veils comes with the piece entitled "Why I Write", and its accompanying essay, her description of her own work process in The Gate of Angels. The coda to the book is a meditation on ageing and on books written in old age: "An old writer is even less likely than any other old person to be serene, mellow, and so forth." She says of Tolstoy: "The resurrection takes place now and on this earth in the individual soul of every man and woman, as soon as they begin to pity each other." Reading Fitzgerald is to experience that resurrection.Reuse content

oxford MERRYTHOUGHT BEAR
We chose these Merrythought bears as one of our products partly because they are highly collectable and keep their value well often increasing in value. There aren't many toys you can say that about.
The Oxford bear debuted in 2014, a modern looking bear, but made with all the traditional Merrythought methods. This is a lovely looking bear with velvety-soft straw coloured mohair, light brown velvet paw pads and a soft, bean-filled tummy.

This one man tent is in great shape.
No rips
no smells
poles are perfect
4 stakes (Tent sets up great with 4 and it saves weight)
Also the stuff sack that holds everything
This is the 2012 model
tent, fly, poles + repair sleeve, 4 stakes and guylines weigh 3 lbs 1 oz
(weight does not include stuff sack which I usually leave at home to save weight)
$75 you pay actual shipping
Will ship outside USA for additional fee.
@manleykLocale: Denver-ish
I have one of these I use in the snow in CO. Great tent!
I do like it too! We have several tents and several hammocks and lately the tents have seen little to no use. So I decided to sell it and put the money into some other gear. (There must be something I suddenly realize we can't do without.) Probably will be selling off a couple more tents soon, gotta keep at least one just in case!
I just reduced the price to $75 plus actual shipping and I edited the listing to show that I have found the stuff sack that holds everything. I never use it and thought I had thrown it away. Stuff sack weighs 2.8 ounces.
I'll take it, PM sent!
tent sold, mods please close.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - February 18, 1987, New Braunfels, Texas Opinions Dave Kramer. Editor auld Publisher Jim Webre. Managing Editor Pa9« ** Hera\6 Zeitunfj, New Braunfels, Texas Wednesday, February 18.1987Forum LETTER POLICY The Herald-Zeitung welcomes correspondence. All letters should be signed and include an address or telephone number. The newspaper reserves the right to edit. Letters should be sent to Porum, New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung, P.O. Drawer 311328, New Braunfels, Texas 78131-1328, or brought to our offices at 186 S. Caste!!. Greetings from Rhodes To the editor: As the new chief appraiser of the Comal Appraisal District, I would like to say, "hello! and thanks for the opportunity to become a member of this excellent community." To the people who make up the district, the entities which serve the communities, and the boards and councils which guide the entities, I would like to express my most sincere desire to lead and to serve the district in the most effective manner possible. In order to accomplish this goal, it is imperative to have an open dialogue with the public and to achieve an atmosphere of mutual respct and cooperation. I want you to understand that the district needs and seeks your suggestions. We will always find the time to listen to your opinions and to investigate your problems. In the weeks to come, I will be meeting many of you at various civic meetings and as you come in the office. Please make the effort to say hello, express any concerns you may have and let me know how the district may best serve you. Again, hello and thanks; may our association be* a long and comfortable one. Sincerely, R. Richard Rhodes Jr League rules ridiculous To the editor: I would like to thank you so very much for publishing the ridiculous rules of the American league and National league in the Feb. 12 column of Stamintisch (The American league is for kids born in even-numbered months — those born in other months play in National league). Four years ago, we moved here and when the time came, we registered our son in Uttle league — no one told us of the differences in the two leagues. It was not until two years later that my husband and I were told that our son had been playing in the wrong league. Our son had played ball well in two other cities since a youngster and we wanted him to continue playing because he loved playing. But our son was refused to play positions that he was qualified to play because he was in the wrong league. I must say, we liad a very hurt, disappointed son that summer's end because the rules were never given to us. I have written this to alert those volunteers who register those kids — Please know the rules and also tell the parents the differences in the two leagues so that maybe another kid could be spared the hurt, disappointment and anguish that my son had. My son's baseball career ended prematurely that summer because we, his parents, were uniniformed and he was placed in the wrong league. And it hurt so, because he loved the game and his dad and I enjoyed participating in the league. Name withheld Lloyd won't ran To the editor: I have decided not to seek reelection to the district 3 seat on the New Braunfels ISD board of trustees. My reasons for not seeking another term are that I believe nine years is long enough and that someone else should have the opportunity to serve a wonderful and very special school district. My three terms were filled with rewarding experiences. I .and was purchased on County line Road and Memorial Primary was bud. Schools on all other campuses were updated and expanded to meet the gorwing needs of the district. Land for a future school site was bought and paid for in the OakRun Subdivision. The old high school building on Mill Street was renovated and houses the education center, which encompasses most all central administrative functions. Other improvements included an expanded curriculum for college-bound students; a master plan for micro-computer utilitzation; new evaluation programs for all school personnel; increased student attendance, a tough stand against drugs on the campuses; and increased length of the school day for .students on a voluntary basis, to mention a few. With the retirement of O.E. Hendricks (Pete) in 1983, I was privileged to serve on the three-member committee to look for a new superintendent. We were fortunate to bring Charles Bradberry to New Braunfels from Jasper, Texas, to take over the reins as superintendent. Charles has exceeded our expectations and continued to improve what was already a fine school. As for the future, Wanda and I have a daughter. Jodie, who is a freshman in high school. We will continue to be active Unicom supporters and I will always have a heartfelt concern for the betterment of education in New Braunfels. Sincerely, Garland LJoyd Your Representatives Gov.

CHILDREN UNDER17 u SHOULD BEMUSK? s TO WATCH. Alef '';/ vw ■J* UM <S*X7C#!tl)ri*je#rtU4ArtC0& Analysis What's a member of Congress worth? By SANDY JOHNSON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — The presidential pay commission that recommended members of Congress be paid $135,000 ran up against an old dilemma : How do you quantify the duties of a lawmaker? "We were unable to get information from the government. We gave up on it," said consultant Andrew Klein, who supplied salary data to the panel. That's because it doesn't exist. There is no job description for a senator or representative, other than to make laws. How do you assign a value to attending endless rubber chicken dinners or satisfying a single constituent's request for a veterans' disability adjustment? Or how do you rationalize spending millions of dollars, little or none of it your own, to win election to a job that pays (now) $89,500? President Reagan whittled down the $135,000 recommendation for Congress to $89,500, a figure the lawmakers grabbed. Through a series of shrewd parliamentary maneuvers, Congress allowed its $12,100 pay raise to take effect while James Kilpatrick appearing to vote against it. Lawmakers begin collecting their bigger paychecks at the end of the month, although opponents have said they'll try to repeal the pay raise when Congress returns this week. Chandler van Orman, the pay panel's executive director, said the commission arrived at $135,000 as "being fair. There was no formula." The commission essentially backed into its conclusion by means of a variety of factors that included inflation and comparable worth. Looking at inflation since 1969, the commission noted that congressional salaries rose by 77 percent while the cost of living increased 224 percent. In real income, lawmakers suffered a 40 percent loss since 1909 while the average federal employee lost 5.7 percent to inflation, Ute commission said. It noted that during this same period, auto mechanics gained 34 percent and electricians 41 percent despite inflation. Comparable worth was more difficult. The commission turned to Klein, whose employer, the Hay Group, is known nationally for its compensation studies. But with no specific job descriptions and with a wide range of positions involved, even Hay had trouble. In the overall federal pay scheme, Congress is on a par with 72 "Level II" employees in the executive branch: the deputy Cabinet secretaries and top agency heads. Some examples include Secretary of the Navy John Lehman Jr., who oversees 334,000 civilian employees and 583,000 military personnel with a budget authority of $95 billion; or James Fletcher, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration administrator who is in charge of 22,300 employees and a $10 billion budget; or Veterans Administration head Thomas Turnage, with 241,000 workers and a $27 billion budget under his direction. The Hay Group used examples such as these rather than Congress for its analysis. It decided that the entire "Level II" group was roughly comparable to second-tier corporate management — not the presidents or chief executive officers of a company, but the subsidiary heads or division chiefs. These people will earn this year a range of eye-popping salaries from $225,000 to $575,000, Klein concluded. But such salaries would be inconceivable for members of Congress, given the general public outcry over $89,500. Money, food and a congressman's ear WASHINGTON - The recipe, so it was said, called for a layer of scrambled eggs, topped by three strips of bacon, topped by more scrambled eggs. The lobbyists were expected to eat the eggs. One day they could expect to bring home some bacon. This was Eggs Bentsen, named for the senior senator from Texas, who briefly proposed to sell his culinary concoction to 40 friends who would pay $10,000 a year for the privilege of having breakfast with him once a month. The distinguished host, incidentally, is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. The genial gentleman from Texas was nothing if not obliging. If more than 40 customers signed up, he would hold two breakfasts a month. The check could be paid in installments, $5,000 now, $5,000 by June I. The guests would talk about "matters of trade and taxation and anything else anyone wants to raise." He would be relying upon his guests for advice and assistance. The proceeds would go into a fund for his re-election in 1988. For a couple of days it looked as if Bentsen might have to hire a hostess to seat the crowd, but then the story of his remarkable invitation got out. Suddenly it was no fun any more. The senator penitently disbanded his breakfast club, returned the payments and confessed that "when I make a mistake, ifs a doozy." Well, ex malis moribus, and all that. Maybe good laws will spring from bad practices. Maybe. It is possible, barely possible, that public reaction to Eggs Bentsen may provoke some serious action on the whole business of financing congressional elections. If I sound pessimistic, it's because I am pessimistic. Republican senators John Chafee of Rhode Island and William Roth of Delaware expect to continue their $5,000 clubs. Majority Leader Robert Byrd at West Virginia reportedly will carry on his little intimate society. IJoyd Bentsen's mistake was not a mistake in kind, but in degree. It was the IO grand that done him in. They do things big in Texas. I know the senator as a fine, decent and honorable man. Why did he get himself in this embarrassing mess? It is because the astronomical costs of a senatorial campaign drive even the best men to acts of desperation. Tbs same unhealthy situation obtains in the House. Members no sooner take their seats that Ump Bust begin worrying about their not eamMffs. Money is tbs mother's milk of peMllm. titans? buys TV spots and newspaper tilt BBSf hups dtrecbmail solicitations; money taps MMI and money pays rent; and snespt for these fortunate members who have no intthepolls, money becomes an ob- Whitdethobig-monoy boysbuy? Not eggs, ■nlr. Asp buy terne. It is as simple as that. The system may have apparent aspects of prmfaMsn or bribery, but the appearance is deceptive. If anyone were to offer Uyod Bentsen MMM to vote for a specific tariff on tectiles, would throw the bum out. Bentsen's vote is not for sale. But his ear is for rent. Nobody likes the situation. For members, the incessant hunt for campaign contributions is stultifying and degrading. For the big donors, the constant dunning gets expensive. The voting public reads of breakfast clubs and political action committees and its cynicism deepens. A hundred proposals for election reform have been advanced. Last August the Senate voted 69-30 for a bill sponsored by David Boren of Oklahoma. The measure would have imposed tight ceilings on the sums that political candidates go after. The Senate then voted 58-42 for an amendment sponsored by Rubdy Boschwitz of Minnesota. His bill would have limited contributions to political parties. Nothing came of either proposal. Rep. David Obey of Wisconsin favors public financing of House and Senate campaigns. The idea is gaining favor. Proponents argue that public financing would cure the evils of breakfast clubs and political action committees. One version of public financing would cost the taxpayers an estimated $87 million a year for House campaigns, $49 million a year for Senate races. These are affordable sums. At some point, reform plans run headlong into the First Amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees every citizen a right of free speech, a right he can back with his money. No reform plan yet has cracked the problem of limiting a free society. The problem may well be insoluble. When money talks, a congressman listens. ;

{image-kashmir curfew_26082008.jpg news.oneindia.in}Srinagar, Aug 26: With the death of one more person in the hospital late on Monday, Aug 25 night, the death toll in yesterday's firing by security forces on processionists in the valley has reached five and over 70 injured, majority of them with bullet wounds. Official sources said one person, who was injured in security force firing, died in the SMHS hospital on Monday, Aug 25 night.
Security forces---CRPF and Police-- opened fire at several places in the Kashmir valley to disperse processionists, who defied curfew restrictions throughtout the day yesterday.
Four people, including a woman, died and 70 others were wounded in the firing, bursting of teargas shells and lathicharge.
The processionists were demanding that they should be allowed to proceed towards Lal Chowk, the nerve centre of the summer capital, following a call given by the Coordination Committee (CC), spearheading the present agitation in the valley, to reach there.
The CC, an alliance of different separatist organisations, including both the factions of the Hurriyat Conference (HC), Kashmir Bar Association, Traders associations and Fruit growers, is demanding opening of all roads, including Jehlum valley, with Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, release of all detenues and withdrawal of troops and special powers to security forces in the valley.

How Calories in Beverages Sneak Up on Us
Timeless Nutrition Tip
Beverages don't tend to fill us up so we often tend to discount them as added calories in our daily diets. However, those calories do add up and 3,500 calories equal a pound of fat no matter where they come from.
The other problem is that many beverages are super-sized. Instead of the once normal eight-ounce serving, we often get four times that much. These large sizes are a monetary value, but not a bargain to our health.
What can you do?
Here are a few things you can try.
- Drink more non-caloric beverages like water or tea. Coffee and diet colas are virtually calorie-free, but it is a good idea not to go overboard on them.
- Order the small sized beverage when you buy fast food drinks. Sounds like a "no brainer", but it's amazing what a habit can make us do!
- Ask for extra ice and get fewer calories. Chew on the ice, too! Water is the best beverage.
- Get an empty cup and split your drink with someone.
- Don't drink a calorie-containing beverage to try to stave off hunger.
- Snack on baby carrots or a piece of fruit instead, or chew some sugar free gum.
It's easy to be fooled by beverages.
Common beverages and their caloric amounts:
- Coffee with creamer - 8 ounces - 30 calories
- McDonald's small Sprite - 16 ounces - 150 calories
- Starbucks Venti Cappuccino - 20 ounces - 200 calories
- Burger King large Coke - 32 ounces - 310 calories
- 7-Eleven Double Gulp Coke - 64 ounces - 600 calories

The Advantages of Speaking at Least Two Foreign Languages Start studying abroad
One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way. (Frank Smith)
Knowing a foreign language a part from your mother tongue represents a huge advantage that can distinguish you from the crowd. But knowing TWO foreign languages clearly differentiates you from all the rest, by reflecting your good master of language skills and communication.
Moreover, the foreign languages that you know are not that important. The essential is to KNOW them, so that you can apply your knowledge in writing, reading and speaking. These three categories can be evaluated according to the persons level language, so that the assessment is individual but with reference to general terms.
The results are classified according to The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, and Assessment, which consists of three broad divisions that can be divided into six levels:
A Basic User
- A1 Beginner
- A2 Elementary
B Independent User
- B1 Intermediate
- B2 Upper intermediate
C Proficient User
- C1 Advanced
- C2 Proficiency
Despite all this importance attributed to learning and knowing foreign languages, some people state their disappointment concerning the advantages that a good proficiency of foreign languages might imply.
Personally, I would like to clearly express my disagreement concerning this state of mind, which does not appreciate the importance of foreign languages skills. As mentioned in the quote at the beginning of the article, knowing at least two foreign languages is a major advantage in the communication field, which will be much more accessible to those who prove a good master of Cognitive skills combining knowledge and understanding with practice in language use, generally consisting of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Additionally, I do not encourage only a proficiency in mastering a foreign language, but just a basic knowledge of the languages in question, as you never know when it will be useful.
I keep insisting on knowing two foreign languages, but which ones do you think are among the most important to master, so that you can literally exceed?
In my opinion, a proficiency master of English is essential nowadays, together with an upper-intermediate level of another foreign language, like Spanish, French or even the exotic languages, as Chinese and Japanese for example.
In spite of the large expansion of English as a foreign language, a recent study illustrates that in the future, this language will vanish. Apparently, it will be remembered as a modern type of lingua franca. Only the native speakers will pass on the language knowledge, as nowadays people try to communicate more in other languages a part English, as they are more expressive in their own mother tongue.
Nevertheless, the young generation and students especially should praise the importance of knowing at least two foreign languages, as they can benefit from their language skills.
Here are some of the most important advantages that highlight my previous statement:
- a better paid job, maybe in a foreign country or even at home;
- communication skills more developed;
- general knowledge improved together with the assimilation of theoretical and practical aspects concerning the foreign languages in question;
- developing self-esteem after facing different problems, mostly in foreign countries etc.
And the list could go on forever and ever but the most significant thing to remember is that each person has an individual approach concerning the importance of knowing at least two foreign languages. I have tried to expose my point of view by bringing arguments in order to support my statements, speaking from my personal experience.
To sum up, I strongly believe I have persuaded you to discover the benefits of knowing at least two foreign languages, as I consider that one person can only succeed if she can express herself in a language that the others understand. Most of the time, it is a foreign one for the speaker and the mother tongue of the audience.

The car has an automatic transmission. It slips into neutral more so in hot weather, going uphill, and after it has been driven for awhile. It happens whether it's in cruise control, or I try to go into passing gear by stepping on it, or manually shifting from D to 3. It has 96,000 miles on it and the tranny fluid was flushed at 60,000 miles. Any suggestions? My warranty runs out in 4000 miles
Why does my 2009 Scion XD slip into neutral while trying to accelerate? on 2009 Scion xD

Have you enjoyed an icy cold Estrella Damm this summer? If so, you're up with the play because the beer of Barcelona has only just become readily available here in New Zealand. To celebrate Bite ran a tapas competition and asked the bars and restaurants who serve it to share with us their favourite Estrella tapa match. We narrowed down a very fine field to 12 finalists, which we tested and tasted. You will find the recipes from all 12 finalists on foodhub.co.nz; the top five, we present to you here. The recipes have all been judged and adapted by the Bite team to suit the home cook so go on, get the Estrella in (it's available at all liquor retailers) and get set to impress.
One of the original tapas bars in Auckland, Peter Gordon's Bellota prides itself on authentic Spanish fare. The monkfish and prawn-stuffed piquillo peppers, created by head chef Ernest Pietx, are on the menu and they are popular with regulars frequenting this atmospheric Skycity venue.
Prawn and fish stuffed piquillo peppers
Makes and serves 2
• 1 small-medium white fleshed onion, peeled and diced
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 70g boneless monkfish, diced
• 50g peeled prawns, diced
• 2 tsp cream
• 2 canned piquillo peppers, any seeds gently scraped
• 15g manchego cheese, grated
• 3 piquillo peppers, sliced
• 3 Tbsp cream
1. Heat oven to 200C. Sauté the onion in the olive oil over medium heat until just beginning to caramelise. Add the monkfish and prawns and cook for a few minutes until cooked through, stirring several times. Add the cream and cook until fully reduced. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Gently stuff the piquillo peppers with the mixture then sit them in an ovenproof dish with their peaks facing up like upended icecream cones.
3. For the sauce, bring the sliced piquillo peppers and cream to a boil, then simmer for a minute. Puree and pass through a sieve.
4. Pour the sauce over the stuffed piquillo peppers and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Bake in the oven until the cheese is crunchy.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
I really don't want to beat the NPR/Ron Schiller affair to death, but I guess I'm going to anyway. I continue to think that Schiller flatly did nothing wrong — at least, nothing wrong in the actionable, firing sense of the word — and I continue to be bugged by the fact that virtually nobody seems to agree with me about this. Even reporters who have finally listened to James O'Keefe's entire sting video, and now understand just how deceptively it was edited, always add a "to be sure" like this one from Time's James Poniewozik:
Whether you agree with [Schiller] or believe he's lumping economic, small-government Tea Partiers with Evangelical Christians, the fact that he's offering this political speech while representing NPR would probably be enough to get him in hot water.
Poniewozik is talking about Schiller's infamous statement that tea partiers tend to be racist and xenophobic. But here's what Schiller said right before that:
Now I'll talk personally, as opposed to wearing my NPR hat....I grew up a Republican, and am proud of that, even though I've voted mostly Democratic lately. I like the Republican Party in terms of fiscal conservatism and the fact that the Republican Party of old really believed that government has no role in personal lives, in family lives, and that government is really about other things.
So here's my question: why is nobody outraged about this? An NPR executive was caught on video saying that he admires the Republican Party's fiscal conservatism! He's obviously taking sides here and implicitly criticizing Democrats for fiscal profligacy. Is that allowable behavior?
Look: it's either a fireable offense for an NPR executive to take a political position in a private conversation or it's not. This isn't a question of whether Schiller was right or wrong. As it happens, I think he's wrong on both counts: I don't think racism is a primary motivating force behind the tea party movement, and I obviously don't believe the Republican Party is even remotely fiscally prudent. Still, there's plenty of survey evidence suggesting that tea partiers, as Jon Chait puts it, "hold distinctly reactionary views on racial issues," just as there's an argument to be made that Republicans are more fiscally prudent than Democrats. Neither view is outrageous enough to get you banned from polite society, nor should they be.
So again: it's not really a matter of the context of Schiller's remarks (though his caveat about taking off his "NPR hat" is obviously relevant). Nor is it a matter of whether it's politically counterproductive to say the things Schiller did (it probably is). Rather, it's a matter of whether an NPR fundraising executive is allowed to express provocative but widely held political opinions in a private conversation. If he's not, then we should be just as outraged about his admiration of the GOP's fiscal conservatism as we are about his belief that tea partiers are xenophobic.

When your Kia Soul EV left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants economical pricing in their automobile. Car aficionados appreciate the long-lasting service built into each Kia, and understand that only top quality replacement Soul EV parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs currently being driven today. Your Kia dealership isn't the only place to locate trusted parts to repair your Soul EV.
The ability to slow down and make quick evasive maneuvers is crucial to keeping you and your passengers safe. Rather than having shoes apply force in opposite directions away from each other, disc brake rotors get clamped in one spot by brake pads. This means Kia Soul EV disc brake rotors take a beating from your brake pads, but since the pads are softer than the rotor they will not deal much damage to it. Brake rotors perform very well in rain (much better than drums), and have consistently been standard equipment on current vehicles. Your Kia Soul EV wouldn't be able to reduce its speed without the brake rotors that are installed on each wheel.

This meeting has been convened in pursuance of the direction of the Supreme Court in the matter of a PIL regarding shelters for homeless. The apex court on November 13 had directed the HUPA Ministry to convene such a meeting within ten days for taking stock of availability of shelters and file an affidavit within three weeks, on the way forward.
The direction of the Supreme Court came further to the filing of affidavits by some states and union territories in the matter where in the Court sought a detailed response from the HUPA Ministry.
According to a senior HUPA Ministry official, the meeting will discuss the number of people in states/UTs, number of temporary and permanent shelters available, future plans for construction and improvement of shelters and the steps taken by states/UTs to implement the Scheme of Shelters for Urban Homeless under National Urban Livelihood Mission.
After eliciting the responses of states and UTs in the matter of night shelters, Minister of Urban Development and HUPA Venkaiah Naidu will hold a day-long session with the chief secretaries to discuss various initiatives of the Centre pertaining to building of smart cities, provision of basic infrastructure in 500 urban areas, development of heritage cities, Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana (DAY) and Housing for all Urban Poor by 2022 besides issues relating to urban governance, urban reforms and capacity building.

Had my first visit with this doctor today. I was treated nicely by the receptionist, but it went downhill from there.

Relatives of 16 men killed in a Super Puma helicopter crash in the North Sea have criticised the "intolerable" five-year wait for the findings of a judge-led inquiry into the tragedy.
Audrey Wood, whose son Stuart was one of those killed when the helicopter crashed in 2009, said all the families felt let down by the system after a fatal accident inquiry (FAI) ruled that the crash could have been prevented.
Sheriff Principal Derek Pyle said he believed several failures by the helicopter's operators, Bond Offshore Helicopters, to properly deal with metal particles found in the engine during routine checks could have led to the crash.
The Super Puma plunged into the North Sea about 11 miles off Peterhead on 1 April 2009, during clear, calm and sunny conditions, after a catastrophic gearbox failure. The two crew and 14 oil workers were killed almost instantaneously by the force of the impact, Pyle found.
Wood said the relatives were surprised and disappointed to hear the Crown Office again insist there was not enough evidence to justify a criminal investigation against Bond Offshore Helicopters for repeated breaches of health and safety rules.
"How they arrived at that decision will haunt us, as not only did we hear of multiple breaches of health and safety, but the decision was also made without all the evidence being present, as vital witness statements had not been given," Wood said.
"Safety must be paramount and everything must be done by the book. There can be no excuse for not doing this. The length of wait for nearly five years has been intolerable for all the families and we, the families, feel let down by the system."
Their complaints were supported by the Scottish TUC and Scottish Labour MSPs, who demanded an overhaul of the FAI system set out in a bill from Labour MSP Patricia Ferguson at Holyrood. The Scottish government said it needed to consider Pyle's findings.
Grahame Smith, the STUC's general secretary, said that since the FAI system was designed to investigate the causes of fatal accidents, a five-year delay was an unacceptably long time.
"It is vitally important that lessons are learned at the earliest opportunity following tragedies where lives are lost and any recommendations put in place to avoid further needless loss of life," he said.
Richard Baker MSP said: "Nearly five years is far too long for families to have to wait for these conclusions to be drawn, not to mention the many other people who travel to work by helicopter in the North Sea. FAIs should never be delayed so long again."
Pyle found all 16 passengers and crew were killed by multiple injuries. For eight of the victims, "the indications were that the death was as a result of sudden deceleration and blunt force impact and there was nothing to suggest survival with subsequent drowning," the sheriff said. The other eight died "instantaneously" from the force of the crash.
In his detailed decision following six weeks of hearings, Pyle said it was possible the accident was caused because Bond personnel had failed to carry out a series of tasks, but he could not be certain.
They did not remove a piece of machinery known as the epicyclic module after a metal particle was found, which suggested metal particles were shearing off in the engine. They failed to follow the correct communication procedures with the aircraft's manufacturer, Eurocopter, and failed to identify the type of metal in the particle.
He concluded: "The cause of the accident which resulted in said deaths was the catastrophic failure of the main rotor gearbox of the said helicopter on the said date, which was as a result of a fatigue fracture of a second stage planet gear in the epicyclic module and which caused the helicopter to descend into the sea."
After the FAI heard detailed evidence about maintenance failures by Bond, the firm admitted it had made a series of "honest" mistakes. "We have always accepted that we made mistakes through honest confusion over telephone calls and emails," the firm said, in a statement.
"Lessons needed to be learned, lessons have been learned and lessons continue to be learned. We would like to express again our deep sorrow at the 16 lives lost."
The Crown Office said it sympathised with the relatives' over their wait, but insisted that the case was complex and there had already been police, Air Accident Investigation Branch and Civil Aviation Authority inquiries.
And in the new ruling, the sheriff confirmed there was still doubt over the precise technical cause of the crash. "For a criminal prosecution to have taken place, the Crown would have to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The sheriff principal makes clear that a reasonable doubt remained over the technical cause of the crash," the Crown Office said.
"The evidence presented during the FAI has not altered the insufficiency of evidence therefore the decision not to hold criminal proceedings remains the correct one."
Jim McAuslan, general secretary of the airline pilots union Balpa, said the sheriff's findings, which endorsed the findings of the Air Accident Investigation Branch, proved that "maintenance must never be treated lightly".
"The operator's maintenance failures, which have been drawn out in both the AAIB report and today's FAI report, are the main lesson for the industry," he said.
The two Bond crew members who died were Capt Paul Burnham, 31, from Aberdeenshire, and co-pilot Richard Menzies, 24, of Droitwich Spa.
The 14 civilians killed were Brian Barkley, 30, of Aberdeen, Vernon Elrick, 41, of Aberdeen, Leslie Taylor, 41, of Kintore, Aberdeenshire, Nairn Ferrier, 40, of Dundee, Gareth Hughes, 53, of Angus, David Rae, 63, of Dumfries, Raymond Doyle, 57, of Cumbernauld, James John Edwards, 33, of Liverpool, Nolan Goble, 34, of Norwich, and Mihails Zuravskis, 39, of Latvia, all employees of the contractor KCA Deutag.
The other victims were James Costello, 24, of Aberdeen, who was working for Production Services Network, Alex Dallas, 62, of Aberdeen, who worked for Sparrows Offshore Services, Warren Mitchell, 38, of Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, who worked for Weatherford UK, and Stuart Wood, 27, of Aberdeen, who worked for Expro North Sea Ltd.

Re: UNCHARTED 4: What needs to be done
The thing I want most is it to be a different experience but still feel like an uncharted game both in singleplayer and multiplayer.
I dont want UC4 to be a game with just better graphics and a little bit more stuff that has all been done before.

So much effort goes into this and ND still doesn't care.
just because they don't post any comments on the subject, doesn't mean they don't care ...
Re: UNCHARTED 4: What needs to be done
Their action prove otherwise -_-
I love this game but I'm not some delusional fool either....
All these patches to fix stuff that needed attention, yet many huge issues still go unnoticed. LOOK at the blindfire threads and individual posts by many uncharted vets dealing with blindfire, look at the ping toggle threads for the all too common godly lagger, weapon balancing, and many more.
Many great threads gone to waste with so much effort by forumers to get it noticed as well as providing fair alternatives. Yeah they sure seem to care by dodging our questions and giving PR answers.....
Re: UNCHARTED 4: What needs to be done[ Edited ]
Some posts here are a little too elaborate maybe...? I mean, we can trust ND on some things like story, single players and graphics!
What I want mainly for U4 multi is no aim assist, lowered accuracy for hip fire and no autoaim while jumping, that's a plague in the game. Also a way to reduce constant jumping, it looks goofy...
Also a return of a coop survival only mode from U2 but with some kind of a 11th "boss wave" (different in every stage) would be GREAT!
As you see I'm asking for more skill-related things, on the subject, I'm hoping for a toned down game in CoD-y stuff like kickbacks and weapons mods...remove them or at least some for a more balanced game. Let the customization be visuals only and less goofy like already mentioned by some here.
For the ones asking for less dynamic stages, for competitives reasons, I disagree, it makes for a more visceral gameplay, add more dynamics to the stages, more openable doors, more stage-changing events, it reduce camping and players always staying in the same room! If you want competitive just allow people to make map-lists.
Re: UNCHARTED 4: What needs to be done[ Edited ]
About the map editor I'm sure it could be done on PS4 with a block mesh look! . I hope those will return, some maps are great, just a some bump map textures to the wall (just for relief like brick and wood) and a different color for the floor!!
And for separate hit boxes, again, with next gen tech for me it's a given, it's will be way easier to detect collisions on differents body parts on next gen consoles, I EXPECT and WANT this in U4 ND. ...I also expect better kill animations based on where we were lethally hit.
@snake134678 :
I can agree in a way with a different experience and not just a graphic overhaul. Problem is people are afraid of changes (just look at some people reactions to U3 dynamic maps like Airstrip intro) and want their gameplay intact (I can undestand that too in a way for Uncharted but let's not make a CoD by releasing the same game everytime, I'm not too worried about that with ND)
For me a way to make U4 a little of a fresh experience would be to add more moves in the same lines that pull downs and kick downs...more contextual modes like those. I would even add a dive-to-cover move if it was me and a side-dive during wich we can shoot but without any slomo effects or autoaim...make it to aim while diving so it will t be abused. But I know people will reject the idea cause it cold change the gameplay too much...but I think if implemented well people will to dive every 2 seconds.
I would like more skill-moves too, am I the only one that is asking himself were all the hard-to-pull moves or previous generations of gaming are gone?? Imagine something like if you hold the grenade button and swipe down on the DS4 touchpad you throw a grenade down on your back at like 1 meter, and yo could do it o he sides too. I want to be proud of my enemies when they kill me, that's what I like of Uncharted sometimes, some superb kills, but sometimes when I'm killed by a guy jumping with a rpg and shooting me behind him while he's not aiming at all...get rid of that! Please ND remove cheap tactics and add some advanced moves! You'll make me a happy man!
Re: UNCHARTED 4: What needs to be done
I don't know if I posted here... But I will do it again if I haven't.
Single Player:
Better story that actually makes sense and feels finished.
No more filler concepts (Train of doom twice in Uncharted 2 and the Sands of time *Felt like forever* Uncharted 3)
Thats it for SP.. See I don't even have much to complain about.
No more nerfing everything people want, that only breaks things, especially in a fast paced game.
Make the multiplayer appeal to more people (The right track was used with Uncharted 3 and then taken away) Summer beta was spot on, Subway beta was overkill, and launch was overkill, After about 1.03 it was almost right.
Kickbacks to only be defensive, not offensive. Let people earn their kills.
No more welfare system otherwise known as powerplays. Make people improve rather than rely on help.
Hipfire severely changed, it was a joke in the summer beta, that was fixed somewhat towards the end, it was a joke in the subway beta that was never fixed and we still have the remains today.
Thats it.

the train in UC2 was not a filler at all, it was an amazing into that took you right into the experience, you're immediately interested in the story, besides, they changed the camera angles and Nate said other lines while climbing the train, and it was a 3-minute section that was 'copied'...
I think the desert in Uncharted 3 was cool, but the problem with something that drags on so long, is that on a second playtrough, where you already know how it's going to end, then it gets a little boring indeed...
Re: UNCHARTED 4: What needs to be done
Re: UNCHARTED 4: What needs to be done[ Edited ]
I didn't enjoy climbing it the first time. The second time.. Was just... WHY...
I hate things that are there for no reason, if they were that desperate for it to be in the game they should have just left it where it belonged, in it's chapter half way through the game.
Once I could accept. It actually did have a point.

Sale begins today (17 August 2015) of government's stake in 67 acre development site around King's Cross to "help cut deficit and build strong economy".
The decision to sell off the government's 36.5% interest in King's Cross Central Limited Partnership (KCCLP), was was announced by the Chancellor in June and presents a significant opportunity for private developers to acquire one of Europe's most important city centre regeneration projects.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Greg Hands said:
"Cutting the deficit and building a strong economy are priorities for this government. Key to this is getting out of the business of owning assets that should be in the private sector."
The sale of the government's investment in the 67 acre site, which is being redeveloped with offices, residential and leisure properties, will be a multi-million pound deal with all proceeds returning to the Treasury.
Launching today's sale Transport Minister Robert Goodwill said:
"By selling the government's shares in King's Cross Central we are selling an asset we no longer need to keep and realising its value for the taxpayer. The sale will help reduce the deficit and by doing so deliver lasting economic security for working people."
The 67-acre King's Cross estate is being developed into 8 million square feet of mixed use space, consisting of offices, apartments, retail space, educational establishments and leisure areas across 50 new and refurbished buildings, and with 26 acres of public realm, including 10 new parks and squares, 20 new streets and 3 new bridges across the Regent's Canal.
Its occupiers include Google, BNP Paribas Real Estate, the Aga Khan Development Network, and University of the Arts London.
The government's stake has been previously valued at £345m, but chief secretary to the Treasury Greg Hands indicated that the government would seek to make even more from the sale.
Investment group Lazard and estate agent Savills are handling the deal. Interested parties have been urged to contact Lazard by 7 September.
