This is my blog about Cortana. In this blog there my be SPOILERS so, players who have not yet completed the Halo 4 campaign this my spoil it for you
There are many conspiracy 's involving the UNSC A.I. Cortana. I have herd some crazy explanations and some pretty good explanations. But in this blog I'm going to share with you my views on the subject are.
For those people who don't know who Cortana is, she is a Smart AI. created by or should I say is a cloned copy of Dr. Catherine Halsey. Cortana was created from the brain of Catherine Halsey and this is somewhat like the Greek Mytholological god Athena who was created from Zeus's brain. Skip a few months in Cortana's carere and eventually the AI was paired with the SPARTAN-II: John-117. Cortana eventually became one of Johns closest friends. Anyways lets get on to Halo 4, at the end of the game John and Cortana are on board the Didact's ship and John inserts Cortana into the ship's system to help John reach the Composer later John inserts Cortana into three different termanals where she will fragment her rampant parts into the system to overwhelm the system and lower the shields. John then goes after the Didact and is nearly killed by the Didact at which that time Cortana rises up uses her power to tie the Didact down and for John to defeat him and detanate the HAVOK nuke. Cortana then uses whats left of her power to create a hardlight shield around John. And this is where Cortana is finally allowed to make contact with John for the first time. That is the end of Cortana... Maybe.
- One idea that I have is that Dr. Halsey has a copy of Cortana. In secoret which may be a problem because Halsey is currently under questioning by Commander Sarah Palmer. But still it's an idea.
- Another idea that I have is that maybe The Librarian has something planed because even she said that Cortana was a special Ancilla and those of you who do not know what those are they are Forerunner AI's. So maybe The Librarian will make an appearance in a future Halo title and she gives John an AI to John that is very simualr to Cortana or have an copy of her,
I will have more ideas about what I think in time, but I need to have some good idea's about Cortana first.
If you Halo Nation users have ideas on what will happen about Cortana post a comment below, or if you dislike what my ideas are comment below its always good to have a debate with people about Halo.

(CNSNews.com) - New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat, signed a bill on Wednesday expanding his state's concealed carry law.
House Bill 641, the Right-to-Carry Reform Bill, lowers the minimum age for permit applicants from 25 to 21; it makes concealed-carry licenses good for four years instead of two; and it allows police to enter into reciprocal agreements with other right-to-carry states.
"These changes will encourage more law abiding New Mexicans to apply for a license and protect themselves in a lawful, responsible manner," said Chris W. Cox, NRA's chief lobbyist.
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) also applauded Gov. Richardson for signing a bill that it describes as a true reform measure.
"The law recognizes that young adults have just as much right to self-defense as older citizens, and that 21-year-olds in New Mexico are just as responsible as 21-year-olds in other states who are already legally-licensed to carry," said CCRKBA Executive Director Joe Waldron.
"If they are old enough to carry a firearm to defend this nation, they're certainly old enough to carry a firearm to defend themselves," he added.
Gov. Richardson pushed for the original concealed carry law two years ago, Waldron noted. "Now he's signed common-sense reform legislation that expands this law, with the understanding that it will deter criminals and empower more New Mexico citizens to protect themselves."
House Bill 641, sponsored by State Rep. John Heaton (D), received strong bipartisan support.
"We would hope that governors in a few other states, namely Wisconsin, Nebraska, Illinois and Kansas, will take a lesson from Gov. Richardson," Waldron said. "Personal protection is not a right that stops at a state's borders, nor is it any less important for people in the upper Midwest than it is in the Southwest."
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says it is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the United States.

Sinister Photo Series Shows Adult Worker Battle £240 A Day Heroin Addiction
Heroin addiction is a serious problem over in America, and photojournalist Sara Naomi Lewkowicz wanted to try and do something to raise awareness of just how serious it is. When she met addict Alex in a bar in Baltimore (one of the hardest hit areas, even 15 years after The Wire ended) back in 2011, she befriended her and asked her consent to photograph her journey.
Images VIA
Alex first tried heroin when she was 17 and started using heavily after her mother died from alcoholism. At the height of her habit she would spend £240 a day on heroin, and would strip and occasionally perform sex acts on customers in order to fund this.
Lewkowicz explains her journey, alongside some stark, harrowing photography of it. None of the images are staged – they represent an intimate look into the life of a drug addict:
When I first saw Alex I could tell she was quite clearly an addict.
When you live in Baltimore you get to know the look of a heroin addict; it's a big drug trafficking area.
At first I was very… intimidated isn't the right word, nor is frightened, but I didn't know how to react.
A lot of people have that reaction when confronted with addiction.
We became friends on Facebook so I messaged her.
I thought I'm not going to learn anything from not talking to her.
I explained what I wanted to do and she was okay with it.
I think she started out smoking but she moved on to injecting. She was injecting pretty heavily by that point.
Shooting, injecting heroin was her drug of choice.
First when I saw it, it was quite shocking. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
But the human brain can get used to seeing a lot. At some point I was used to seeing her doing it.
Alex was paid in cash for her work at the strip joint but was warned by managers that if she didn't stop using then she would lose her job.
She tended to shoot up a bunch of times during a shift, saying she couldn't dance on stage or deal with customers if she was sober.
Alex always carried a kit with her at all times, but never shared needles.
She and her friends Mary, a fellow dancer, and Twon, a childhood pal, would often rent hotel rooms in Baltimore in order to get high together. Alex lived in a house but her roommates were increasingly wary of her drug use, so she would rent a hotel for privacy.
Surprisingly they were pretty cool about being photographed. I wouldn't take pictures of anyone who expressed discomfort at it.
I got used to seeing Alex and her friends do drugs.
That was her reality at that point. Accepting that was her reality and understanding it was part of my job.
I wouldn't say I was desensitised because that would imply neutrality and I never felt neutral about her.
I said whenever you are ready to get help; I have friends who would have been equipped to help her.
The wake up call came when she was arrested on a robbery charge and got sentenced to 18 months in a correctional facility.
As she had no prior felonious arrests, Alex was offered alternative sentencing which involved a stint in a rehabilitation centre.
Maryland is quite liberal and has drug court.
Rather than throw someone who has committed a non-violent offence into the system, the programme gives you a choice: live out your term in jail or you can get out early and attend narcotics anonymous meetings daily.
Then you live in a half-way house, check in with a probation officer, hold down a job… basically you go through these steps and if you graduate from drug court your felony is wiped.
Alex failed her first attempt to get clean in the summer of 2012 and ended up back in prison, but tried again the summer after and has now been clean for four years.
She now lives in an apartment in Silver Spring with two other roommates, both in recovery. Living in a sober household is a key part of preventing a relapse.
As Alex completed the program she no longer has a felony record and has a full time job, working as an administrate assistant. She's also taking college classes and wants to become a drugs counsellor.
She recently got promoted. She really has a fire under her ass to make up for lost time.
She's one of the most driven people I know because she knows how significant it is to get a second, third chance.
I still photograph her now. I saw her in January but I didn't bring my camera that time. We hung out and just had lunch.
I'm so protective of her. I don't want her to be defined by the addiction issues. She's a whole person.
She struggled with issues but in terms of sheer progress, she's made more progress than most people make in their lives as she was so far behind.
Heavy stuff, but also an inspirational story for anyone who has ever been addicted to drugs and doesn't think that there's a way out. The contrast between the first and last photographs in the series – even if there were six years between them – proves that there's hope and that whatever situation you may find yourself in, there is a way out.

With the Directors' Cup mathematically clinched, our attention turns now to hitting 1,500 points and thus breaking the NCAA record of 1,499. Can Stanford get there? We projected the Card would finish with 1,478 three weeks ago. We've updated with a slew of results in sports which have finished and the most current results and polls in other sports, and below is where we stand.
Our projections:
Ongoing sports are underlined, along with their current rank or status and projected points.
Water polo 2 (90)
Basketball 2 (90)
Swimming 2 (90)
Soccer 2 (90)

Golf T19 (54)
Cross country 16 (42)

3. Golf (85)
Swimming 4 (80)
Tennis T9 (64)
Soccer T9 (64)
Fencing 9 (63)
14. Outdoor track (61.5)
Cross country 10 (60)
30. Baseball (50)
Wrestling 28 (45.5)
Football 44 (25)
Indoor track 47 (24.5)
Projected: 717.5
Projected Total: 1,476.5
(The top-ten sports count for each gender, with fencing counting wherever it maximizes a team's points. Stanford will have more than ten scoring sports in each gender, hence the cut lines you see. For more details, see the official website.)
Since our last update, Stanford's projected total has barely budged: from 1,478 to 1,476.5. On the downside, then-No. 1 women's water polo finished second and thus received 90 points instead of 100, while men's tennis also underperformed its ranking by only reaching the Round of 16. However, those disappointments were largely offset by men's and women's outdoor track climbing in the polls (and thus our projected finish), and No. 8 women's tennis making the Final Four, in which they'll play Monday.
All told though, Stanford is simply treading water in terms of its projected total, which obviously won't be good enough if they're to reach 1,500 points. The Cardinal had opportunities to pick up extra points were either men's tennis or softball to make a deep postseason run, and that neither team did hurts: softball left 50 points on the table and men's tennis left 36. Both numbers are obviously greater than the 23 points the Card currently need.
So what now? Well, first of all, 1476.5 would be the second-best total of all-time, our best since the 2001-'02 record. Nothing to scoff at, and with men's volleyball coming through to move our national title streak to 34 and counting, it's a darn solid season across Stanford Athletics.
That answer is only half-satisfying at best, however, for the Stanford fan far too used to coming up second in a year of missed opportunities. Women's water polo, women's swimming, women's basketball, women's soccer, men's gymnastics… and now we have to take second all-time too?
Well, maybe not. We now need to outperform expectations by 23 points, which would put us at 1499.5, for the record. How do we get there?
Sears Cup scoring is graduated: the difference between first and sixth is greater than the difference between sixth and 11th. The relevance for Stanford fans, unfortunately, is that our outdoor track teams, both men's and women's, simply don't have the sprinters to realistically compete for a top-ten finish. So maybe they'll slightly outperform their current rankings of No. 14 and No. 19 and pick up a few points, but with the graduated scoring system, that's it.
There are four other remaining sports: women's tennis, men's golf, baseball and women's rowing. Men's golf is projected to take 85 points with a third-place finish, so they could cut the deficit to eight by winning outright. Similarly, women's tennis has already gone a round further than predicted, and will receive 83 points for their Final Four trip. The additional 17 points they could gain by winning outright (which certainly looks doable after the women solidly handled No. 1 Baylor) would put this year's Cardinal within six points of the all-time record. Women's tennis and men's golf don't have the upside to set a Directors' Cup scoring record by themselves, but if both teams keep winning, Stanford will be mighty close to 1,500 points.
Meanwhile, women's rowing is currently projected to finish sixth, which is 37 points worse than first, and baseball current projected out in the Round of 32 (i.e. the last team eliminated in the four-team, first-round Regional), which is worth 50 of 100 possible points. Were the other outstanding sports to perform to seed, rowing repeating last year's first-place finish would pick up 37 points for an overall finish of 1,514. Baseball making the Super Regional would pick up 25 points, just barely enough were everything else to go exactly to plan, while winning the Super Regional to make the College World Series would be a 33-point pickup, with any wins in Omaha only adding to the point total.
The bottom line? Stanford has clinched its 16th straight Directors' Cup, and is currently on pace to finish with the second-highest point total of all time – 1,476.5 points as of Sunday, May 23. The last few weeks, softball, men's tennis and women's water polo each underperformed compared to their seeding, hurting the Cardinal cause. Still, the Card have plenty of ways to get to 1,500. Most directly, a surprisingly strong finish from either baseball or rowing could be enough to put Stanford over the top. Alternatively, women's tennis and men's golf don't have the upside by themselves to pick up the necessary 23 more points than our expectations, but both sports closing strong could be enough to shatter the 1,500-point ceiling.

By David Kremer – ConservativeAmerican.org 'We get carpets cleaner!'
Seven steps accomplished in the Axelrod plan to eliminate republicans. Seven to go.
The use of chemical weapons in Syria. Sketchy evidence that the administration won't release to the public. An anticipated "no" vote on the President's request to attack Syria. They knew all of this would happen.
I can't stand David Axelrod. He's a liar and he's proud of it, having invented the lie of astroturfing. He has proven, however, that he has skills in thinking out scenarios several steps ahead of his opponents. To beat these socialists who worship the Gospel of Saul Alinsky, one has to realize what their strategy is and outsmart them.
I wonder about this. I think Axelrod is in charge here and that seems to have been proven correct. I also think he presented the idea of going to congress to ask permission to attack Syria as a no-lose for the President. As I wrote last Sunday, "If congress says no attack and things in Syria only get worse, again he can blame congress."
Did Axelrod anticipate the expected "No" vote on attacking Syria? I think he did. This has never had anything to do with Syria or with the people killed by chemical attacks.
Try this scenario on for size…
- Syrian rebels ask USA for help
- Team Obama says, for the most part, go jump in a lake
- Obama goofs and makes his "red line" comment
- Rebels ask again and say 'What can we do to help you?' Those are magic words to the perpetual Obama campaign.
- Enter Axelrod. Secret meetings happen to plan a "war-changing event" and the follow-up to it.
- Team Obama sits by and allows chemical attack to happen.
- The President pretends to be outraged. He genuinely gets nervous and waffles on what to do, changing plans several times a day. Axelrod encourages him to stick with the original plan and ask Congress for permission to attack Syria. He reviews with him each scenario and how the President wins no matter what. Obama follows through and asks for the blessing of congress, careful to use the word "congress" over and over, knowing that most Americans think this means only the House of Representatives, run by those nasty republicans. This helps to set up the blame strategy.
- As anticipated, Congress votes "No" attack. The president comments publicly that while he disagrees strongly and worries that the republicans in congress have just sentenced more people to death, he will abide by the vote and take no action. He's such a good guy after all and he respects *choke* the 'process.'
- A number of weeks later, just as planned in the secret meetings, a second chemical attack takes place worse than the first. 300 to 500 people are murdered.
- Within hours, the attack is launched by the US military, striking numerous targets in Syria.
- At the same time, the President addresses the nation on Live TV. He is visibly (pretending to be) angry. He reviews the case for the American people. He asked the republicans for help in a matter of national security and they said no. He asked for their support of the military and because of partisan politics, those dang republicans said no. They are against anything, we will be told, that the first white-black president tries to put forward. He will lecture us that 'The time for this uber-partisan style politics, has come and gone.' He won't tolerate it anymore. This only proves that at times he has to act without the approval of the republican congress. Because of their lack of action, 400 people have been murdered. He has today, bravely and courageously acted on his own. The republicans have shown once and for all they simply cannot be trusted to do what is best for the nation. He ordered attacks and they are going on now.
- Working with the rebels, the attacks either kill Assad or permanently remove him from power — quickly ushering in the likes of the Muslim Brotherhood, those moderate pals of the President, to run Syria.
- Obama is a hero. Public agrees strongly that republicans like Rand Paul were only playing games.
- 2014 elections give democrats control of the house, and they maintain control of the senate, the White House, the courts, the schools, the unions and more. Time to go in for the kill. This is what the war in Syria, what the Syrian rebels can do to help President Obama. This is what it is all about.
