Irrational Games revealed the reverse cover art for BioShock Infinite today. The art chosen won 38% of fan votes on the poll posted by studio head Ken Levine earlier this month as the result of displeasure from fans over the game's official box art.
The art, the full version of which can be found after the break, will be printed on the other side of the BioShock Infinite cover. Levine noted that other alternate covers will be made available for fans to print.
Now hopefully we've all learned our lesson: It's what's on the inside that counts.
An interesting selection. It looks kind of like a classic novel cover.
i appreciate the developers giving us a chance to pick. now its hard to please everyone and i am sure some will still complain but atleast we voted and the majority chose the one(now whether its the right one or not coming down to personal opinion)
can't wait to play it, BTW no matter the art cover, my enjoyment of the game won't be any more or less because of the cover
it's not only hard to please everyone, it's impossible
I agree im thankful they atleast gave us a choice while hearing us out even though I didnt have issues with the cover but the way I see it is that other developers or publishers wouldnt give a damn or even address the issues (insert typical fan ignoring company here) would just move forward and shun the fanbase also people need to stop with this "gamers feel entitled" its because of those vocal gamers most of the franchises have a form of the integrity of the past and major companies think twice about certain moves
I haven't been following this too closely. Was curious if the fans were demanding a change, or just voicing their displeasure over the original cover art? That's what makes a difference between an "entitled" gamer, and a passionate fan.
From my view since I saw this from the start here on n4g I saw an article dissing on the game cover I was like "okay so?" then soon enough as the days went by tons of other writers, blogsite, and almost everyone that reports on gaming started complaining along with some passionate fans so what happened was the generous ken levine responded to this issue and even made a youtube video bout the cover which them led to giving us the choice in short this overblown situation was responded by ken levine since he is one of the few top developers to listen to the fanbase but its from what I personally observed
I remember seeing the first articles about this, and I thought the same thing as you, so I never bothered to read it. I never played Bioshock, but have heard good things and was looking at getting BS2 since they have it used at Gamestop.
It seems to me...being that the game already has a known base that it's working from, that the fans would already know what to expect. The cover itself wouldn't really matter, as they likely already are ready to purchase it. The comments here pretty much reflect that.
The hate train can steamroll pretty quickly, and it seems people really like to latch onto these things, especially when something is popular. I think it's a shame that devoted fans' voices get drowned out by it. Honestly the reason most developers don't respond to this kind of stuff, or ignore it, is because a lot of times it is just because of this steamrolling effect, and sometimes responding to it just makes things worse. I give props to Ken Levine for being able to address the situation to appease the fan that were upset. I imagine though they weren't calling for a complete rework of the cover to satisfy their own tastes, or calling for a boycott of the game over it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
People are still complaining about the reversed cover? Get over yourselves, just be glad they gave us an opportunity to pick a cover art. I did not vote for this one but its better than the one on the cover so im satisfied.
So you're saying people who don't like it should just shut up and keep quiet?
How about you get over yourself. Not everyone likes the cover, and they have every right to voice their opinions.
I will let you masturbate to the cover art, while I play the game.....
Actually, yeah. You should shut up and keep quiet. Don't you remember a time when a company came out with a product, and you bought or did not buy it as it was? Remember when if you didn't like something about a product, you couldn't groan and moan like a 6 year old to have it changed? The $60 dollar excuse has lost it's touch. If the cover art is enough to get you butt-hurt, go buy Ninja Gaiden 3. Game is crap, but it has a nice ninja on the box.
"If the cover art is enough to get you butt-hurt"
So being a little bit disappointed and expressing that disappointment on the internet counts to you as "butt-hurt"? What does that make you then? How about you just let people vent their frustration or disappointment, however small or insignificant your arrogant mind thinks it may be.
Here's a thought for you: next time you think about complaining about a game (let's say, call of duty), think about what you just said here now and APPLY IT TO YOURSELF. Just shut up next time you have a problem with a game, whatever the problem may be. You want CoD to change? Shut up and be quiet. Want Dark Souls to keep it's hardcore mechanics? Shut up and be quiet. Want a great sp centric game to refrain from adding multiplayer? Shut up and be quiet.
You are NOBODY to tell people what they should and shouldn't be upset about, no matter how insignificant you think the problem may be.
Progress/change is based ENTIRELY around complaining. It's people like you that are responsible for CoDs current success, people who are content with the way things are and shut down anyone who isn't.
You seem to have it in your head that the people who keep making these articles = every single person who is disappointed with the cover. You haven't considered that most people are simply responding to this individually for the first time, you group everyone who ever complains about the cover as if they're on some sort of 3 week long (or however long it's been going on) tirade and rant, people who just can't get over it. You group everybody together, because you're apparently not very bright.
I personally don't hate the original cover. I don't like it, but I also don't hate it, and I've expressed myself once or twice before that I didn't like it, and I'll go ahead for the first time and express myself on the reversible option: I don't like it. Now if those 2 comments upset you SO MUCH, if you find those to be such a waste of a comment that it actually influences you to write a comment about how angry and annoyed it makes you, then maybe you should just get off the internet right now. It's obvious you can't handle it since you can't simply ignore these types of comments.
I think vickers500 won that round. :)
I think you both make fair points, but complaining is unproductive and only meets one problem with another problem. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being disappointed, but unless you're going too approach the issue with a solution, you're only going to face further disappointment.
I know it appears lame, but a well thought out petition is actually the best way to approach these type of situations. I don't think anybody enjoys hearing problems, I think you're bound to receive a better reception if you go in positive with a solution. We're not lobbying for human rights, we're just consumers trying to get value for our money.
@Vickers500 Cry me a river! If you hate the reversed cover art some much go ahead complain all you want to Ken or Irrational, your just wasting your time. They gave us a chance already to change the cover art. I doubt they'll give us another one so to bad.
People must really have little to do if they are complaining and whining about a damn cover :/
omg didn't we get over this shit yet?!
the people who bitch about the people who bitch about the cover have become so annoying.
wait... they let people choose the alternate cover art, and *this* is what they chose?
oh man, the original image is way better, and this only goes to show that entitled gamers don't know anything about art, and why devs should never let fans make decisions for them.
what were the other choices?
@ vickers500:
there's a vastly distinct difference between wanting a game's functionality to improve/wanting a game's integrity to be maintained and crying over the cover art. it's just the box art, if you don't like either one of the versions, well... in your own words, "shut up and be quiet."
Perfect, I love how unconventional this cover is.
Indeed. For me it gives me the same feeling as the Resistance 3 cover.
Yes! Loved the R3 box art! 100X better than the crappy R2 box art!
Better than what Irrational did to Booker having him pose like a model douche on the current cover, but still just an alright box art. They're being very lazy in this department.
Hmmm, is this a rough version? I feel like it could be a bit better... Patches of it look good, but other patches not so much...
Some of has that classic comic book look which looks great, but some other parts of it look sort of lazily done.
Not great composition either if you ask me... bit messy.
I'm just baffled at how they could have a cover without Elizabeth on it.
That one with Elizabeth reaching out to Songbird (#6 from the poll) would have been perfect. It was - is - so beautiful.
The Booker cover was a move to get more consumers to purchase the game and it does a good job of doing that. The bioshock fans will buy the game regardless of the cover art and new players will buy the game because of the cover art.
Ken Levine knew people didn't like the box art but he did it so that more people will buy the game.
When you're right, you're right. I'm not going to bitch about either box art. This is my favorite series so I'll buy it irregardless and be happy that there are more sales of it due to the box art.
Reminds me a tiny bit of Resistance 3's reverse art... Though it's probably just the orange that's making me think of it.
I hated it but I don't give a fuck .. this is much suited to be a manual cover imo.
I was gonna play this game anyway regardless of what was on the cover.
Bitching about cover art.. I honestly don't know what's left to complain about. Gamers of this gen sure have become babies. Who here was honestly not going to buy the game because of such a superficial reason? Hopefully people like this one and won't harass Irrational for another one.
It isn't a rule that everyone who bitches about life has to kill themselves. Why would it be a rule that you can't bitch about something with good qualities? Of course everyone was going to play the game regardless, and not have a worse time because of the silly cover. By being vocal though the majority of us now receive an item we are happier with as a whole.
I don't see the problem with this.
One day, if the entire industry moves to entirely DD, then we won't have to worry about this incredibly important issue. Chalk one up for the DD proponents. /s
Awesome. This is the one I voted on as well.
I did not even know they were running this vote, super cool of them.
Thanks Irrational, you guys are swell.
I really like the art here.
This was my 2nd choice, I voted for the one with Elizabeth resting her hand on the Song Bird, it had a Norman Rockwell feel to it, but I'm happy they chose this one, (my communist fascination is showing again). ^_^
Chin down, eyes up...waiting for this game. I will be using the reverse art, its as classy as the cover art for Resistance 3. I like it.
good thing they didnt use this as the main cover
Would have loved Elizabeth on the cover, my pick was the cover wil Elizabeth and the songbird.
Love this new cover!
Glad Drake isnt on it.
I'll take the brotastic regular art over this
Remember: if you choose this one you must see the generic cover each time you reach for the disc.
I'm glad they gave an option for all the crybabies.
It's a nice looking cover, but it doesn't go well with the game at all.

Healthy Ageing
Ageing is related to problems both at societal as well as at individual level. Healthy ageing is part of the solution, and various disciplines are engaging in healthy ageing research, including social sciences, demography, biomedical sciences, and public health. The main goal of the Healthy Ageing Summer School is that students gain insight into the healthy ageing obtained by these different disciplines, ranging from cell to society. The School strives for scientific co-operation and pre- and post-graduate education at an international level, trying to attract students already interested in research. The intentions are to stimulate students interest in research from an early stage on, to allow master students the opportunity to get an overview of and explore the possibilities of healthy ageing research in Groningen and to encourage contact between students and research project leaders. The school also aids in recruiting young potentials, i.e. enthusiastic and talented students who are attracted by interdisciplinary approaches to scientific research.

There are perhaps no two features of nature more beautifully suited to each other than orchids and butterflies, and perhaps this is why we so often see the two together. There are more than 1,000 species of both in Thailand and many of these are in the North. It used to be that orchids grew only in the wild, and of course the butterflies found them there too; but now so many orchids are cultivated in nurseries and on open hillside plantations that one need not venture into jungle areas to see, to smell, and to appreciate orchids and the equally stunning butterflies lights on them. Fortunately for all of us, Thailand's orchid season is with us this month and all of the many varieties grown in Thailand, both wild and hybrid, can be seen in their regal splendor.
Orchids were first made known to us through the explorations of Charles Darwin and other scientists through the Brazilian jungles of the Amazon in the early 19th century. Much has changed since then. Many of the original wild orchid varieties discovered have become extinct or are quickly becoming extinct, and hundreds of new varieties have become available to us through hybridization. Hybridization has led to somewhat less voluptuous flowers on the orchid plant, but it has also led to a much greater variety of rich and striking colors. Among the many species of orchids to be seen in northern Thailand, many will be of the hybrid type, but some will also be quite rare and from the original wild plants of centuries ago.
One of the most beautiful orchids of the North is the White Orchid. This species of wild orchid is also one of Thailand's rarest, for less than six types of White Orchid have been found growing in the wild. Most White Orchids grown in Thailand now are cultivated in nurseries where special greenhouses have been designed and built for the preservation of this flower. Two other orchid species that can be classed with the White Orchid, in terms of beauty and also found in the North, are the Brick Red Orchid and the Bright Yellow Oncidium Orchid. When you visit Chiangmai's orchid nurseries, you may ask attendants to point out these three special varieties.
Many visitors to Thailand are surprised to find that the orchid blooming season here is January. The reason for this is the orchid's need for moisture before flowering and the orchid plant's ability to retain moisture over a long period of time. Orchids in Thailand also blossom in August, halfway through the country's rainy season. The rain continues on through September and then the drier, cooler season begins. By January the orchid plants have again been able to retain and store enough moisture to provide for blossoming. In the event that rains are light in Thailand from September to November, orchid plants automatically begin to drop their leaves in order to conserve moisture for the flowers in January. The cooler January weather adds to this and results in this month being the country's major orchid blooming season.
Thailand's orchid nurseries are today what the jungles were to orchids one hundred years ago. As a tropical flower that requires strong sunlight for photosynthesis and heavy rains for the basic elements of nutrition, wild jungle orchids have found it more and more difficult to survive in an environment where the jungles worldwide have been encroached upon by human development. In the nurseries, many species of orchid that might otherwise have gone extinct can be protected and nurtured and the line can be carried on. Another function of the nurseries, however, is to scientifically create and nurture new species of hybrid orchids, and this is done regularly for both scientific and commercial purposes. Those interested in the scientific process of creation of and nurturing of orchid species can view and discuss the basic process and required elements with people working at Thailand's orchid nurseries. For the nonspecialist or the person who just enjoys looking at these beautiful flowers the nurseries offer you a panorama of colors in the hundreds of orchid species grown in northern Thailand, and while you're at it, you'll have a opportunity to view many of the country's butterfly species too.
It is only natural that this beautiful insect that seem to reproduce itself in more colors than even the orchids themselves hover over the orchid flowers and help with the pollination. The orchid is highly sensitive to what type of insect lights on it and often discourages such insects as wasps and sometimes bees because they irritate the flower's peaceful composure. The butterfly is also a jungle creature and can be seen is as many varieties as the orchids.
There are ten families of butterflies in Thailand, constituting approximately 1,000 species. These ten families are part of the two worldwide scientific groupings of butterflies the Papilionoidea that are known as True Butterflies, and the Hesperoidea that are known as Skippers. Nine of Thailand's ten families of butterflies are of the True Butterfly type. These include Birdwings and Swallowtails, Whites and Yellow, Tigers and Crows. and Browns, Amathusiids, Brush Footed Butterflies, Snout Butterflies, Judies and Metalmarks, and Hairstreaks and Blues.
One of the most outstanding of Thailand's butterflies is called the Golden Birdwing. It has one of the longest wingspans of all butterflies in the country, measuring 120 mm to 190 mm. The Golden Birdwing is golden yellow in color with black on the wings. It is, of course, a member of the Birdwing and Swallowtail family, and it is related to the Common Birdwing Butterfly. The Common Birdwing is less striking in color, having more black area and the females having some dusty areas on their wings. Both the Golden Birdwing and the Common Birdwing are True Butterflies.
The members of the Birdwing and Swallowtail family are among the largest and most beautiful in the country. They account for more than 70 of the species of butterfly found in Thailand. These species can be seen in many colors and are some of the swiftest in the butterfly community. When you visit the orchid nurseries of northern Thailand you'll most likely see some of the butterflies of this family side-by-side with the smaller Yellows and tigers, two other distinctive families.
We've related most of the content of this article to the nurseries of the North because they are the most likely spots for you to view both the orchids and butterflies of Thailand The nurseries are also. as we have said. today's centers of the cultivation and development of both precious and new orchid flowers. In the Chiangmai area, there are a number of nurseries within easy distance. Some of these: Maesa Butterfly and Orchid Farm.

Lu Bu is the adopted son of Dong Zhuo in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
He was said to be a fierce warrior who always fights for himself. Lu Bu also had a horse called Red Hare, which was taken by Guan Yu. He is killed by Cao Cao in the hanging execution.
Lu Bu was a mighty warrior, but no warlord trusted him enough to enlist him after several acts of betrayal.
He first seved the warlord Ding Yuan, who was a rival warlord of Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo offered Lu Bu Red Hare, Lu Bu murdered Ding Yuan and went to serve Dong Zhuo. Ironically, Dong Zhuo was later murdered by Lu Bu, after Dong Zhuo tried to marry Lu Bu's wife,Diao Chan. Lu Bu then started his own force.
Lu Bu later formed a close alliance with Yuan Shu, only later to betray him when Cao Cao formed a coalition to oppose Yuan Shu. Lu Bu later wnet to serve Liu Bei, whom he called his "little brother". But he would later betray Liu Bei as well when he stole Liu Bei's castle in his absence. Liu Bei asked Cao Cao for help, and the two forces retook the castle and executed Lu Bu.

El Futbol & Me
de Sebastian Christlieb Guillen
Acerca del libro
Having lived in three countries, many cities and even more houses, a common factor that I have always had has been playing soccer.
The memories of soccer and how it has related to my life have matured along with me. These memories range from my childhood, in which playing was a social thing, to playing at a highly competitive level during my high school years.
This book serves not only as a collection of memories of my relationship with soccer, but also as a timeline of my life.

Poison ivy is one plant that everyone should try to avoid. Avoiding poison ivy isn't always easy since the highly allergenic plant doesn't have one consistent appearance, and can be easily mistaken for other plants. Poison ivy can grow low to the ground, amongst different plants, and it can also take the form of a vine that grows up trees. Exposure to poison ivy causes skin burning, itchy rashes and painful blisters.
Things You'll Need
- Long, heavy-duty gloves
- Protective clothing
- Clippers
- Heavy-duty garbage bags
- Shovel and pick
- Large pan
- 1 gallon vinegar
- 1 cup salt
- Large spray bottle
- 1/3 cup liquid detergent
- Glyphosate herbicides (such as 'Roundup')
Digging Method
Put on protective clothing and heavy-duty gloves. To prevent exposure to the poison ivy, clothing should completely cover your skin, leaving no gaps.
Cut all poison ivy vines from any trees that the vines may be climbing. Place the vines into a heavy-duty garbage bag.
Dig into the soil about 10 inches down and remove all of the poison ivy roots. Place the roots into the heavy-duty garbage bag.
Pour boiling water into the soil. Boiling water will kill any remaining poison ivy. Be careful not to get boiling water on any plants you want to keep.
Seal the garbage bag containing the poison ivy and dispose of it properly.
Remove protective clothing and gloves and wash them immediately.
Spraying Method
Pour vinegar and salt into a large pan and heat until the salt is fully dissolved. Allow ingredients to cool completely. Pour into a large spray bottle.
Add liquid detergent to the ingredients in the spray bottle.
Put on protective clothing and heavy-duty gloves. To prevent exposure to the poison ivy, clothing should completely cover your skin, leaving no gaps.
Spray all poison ivy plants, weeds and vines with the vinegar mixture. Alternately, an herbicide such as Roundup may be sprayed on the poison ivy if you're not concerned about using chemicals.
Remove protective clothing and gloves and wash them immediately.
Tips & Warnings
- Poison ivy can be very persistent and often reappears after you've removed it. Repeat these steps whenever poison ivy returns and eventually it will stop growing back.
- Never burn poison ivy plants. The oils will spread through the smoke and cause a severe reaction in anyone who inhales it.

best glasses frames know they can't be the real D&G for this price, but the quality is amazing... They are a little less lightweight than the originals the the quality is the same... Everyone has commented how modern they look... Perfect tint... Doesn't look like your eyes are blacked out.. A must buy The glasses arrived on time and well packed. Kind of doubt it is real DG as seems cheapely made but for Concord online electronics store ralph lauren promo code s pair were definitely worth the extra money! Works incredible. Better than described. Have bought another pair for partner. Highly recommended to friends and family. Great quality and fantastic value for money. Would not drive or play cricket without them! very pleased, did not realise there were three sets of lenses with frame. highly recomend Got these as I wanted polorised shades for Yerevan oakleys glasses trainer kite .
ery service was faster than I could have wished for.
The 'sunglasses & Goggles' are either not what I bought, (although I am looking at the order details and it was what I bought), or the picture is very misleading. I was hoping for a durable pair of sun glasses that wouldn't slip off your nose when you're sweating while going downhill at some some speed. What I received were a cross between goggles that you would buy to go swimming with e.g. thick foam st nonopro nlight too.. would recommend these
Great little pair of sunglasses, good value and loved by my 2 year old
I bought a pair of these from amazon and did not expect much due to the low price, I must say I am pleasantly suprised, the circle sunglasses then great. The shade and depth of yellow for the glasses is excellent.
Great value for adequate protection against scratching of glass & polished metal surfaces eg camera Good for a couple of years of everyday use
I bought this pouch to enable me to store my sunglasses in the side of my car door without scratching them. The material is clearly inferior to the Oakley pouch that I managed to lose and neede.

Florida police have released the 911 call in which a man reports the double murder of his neighbors.
Jeff Fisher, tells 911 operators that he has been stabbed and that his female neighbor was attacked by a man he did not recognize (listen to 911 call below).
Police say Florida State University fraternity member Austin Harrouff committed the murders.
According to The Daily News, Fisher was stabbed several times by Harrouff but is expected to survive.
The murder victims are Michelle Mishcon Stevens and her husband, John Stevens.
When police arrived at the scene, they found Harrouff eating the face of John Stevens. "The suspect was biting and removing pieces of the victim's face with his teeth," reported WPTV. Police suspect Harrouff was on steroids of some kind.
Four days before the murders, Harrouff posted a video saying he didn't need drugs (see video below). Harrouff wrote on You Tube, "I've got a psycho side and a normal side. I've lost my mind. Help me find it."
Harrouff cover photo on his Twitter account is of his teeth.
Harrouff had been out to dinner with his family when his mother said he stormed out over complaints about slow service. His mother said he had no prior mental health issues and was not a heavy drug user but had been acting strange lately and claiming to have superpowers, said CBS News.
Police believe that the attack was random, and they say they do not believe that Harrouff knew Michelle and John Stevens. Michelle Stevens is the daughter of a retired local mayor in Florida. Harrouff is in stable condition at a Florida hospital.

Admire the most beautiful places of Fiumicino and add them to your basket. YAMGU will create your trip considering distances, opening hours and weather.
After the construction of the port of Claudius, inaugurated in a.d. 64, the increased supply demands of Rome imposed the construction of a new harbour basin built by Emperor Trajan.
The new port of hexagonal shape was connected with a new channel to the Tiber in order to facilitate the transfer of foodstuffs to Rome.

These award-winning real live aquatic creatures are great pets for beginners and teaching kids responsibility. Hatch and grow these incredible Artemia Salina, a prehistoric species of brine shrimp. AquaDragons have lived for millions of years in salty lakes and oceans - even as far back as the dinosaurs!
The Aqua Dragon eggs have an amazing capacity called cryptobiosis. This is similar to Sea Monkeys, the eggs coming alive once water is added. Tests have even discovered that Aqua Dragon eggs can survive p to 20 years before being immersed in water!
Aqua Dragons have three eyes and a pair of fins which they use to breathe, eat and swim (now that's multi-tasking!). The males have a mane on their heads, while the females often display a bulb on their backs.
Grow your own pet with these award-winning Aqua Dragons. Winner of the Tillywig "Sterling Fun Award Winner 2013" and awarded the British Toy and Hobby Association "Best New Hobby Toy of 2013". This is a fresh take on Sea Monkeys! A great children's activity to teach kids responsibility and an excellent idea for a child's first pet.

Supercars Dominate 2013 Geneva Motor Show
Each year the Geneva Motor Show is known for its debuts of exotic sports cars from iconic Italian brands to ones you've never heard of (and probably never will again). But this year will be one for the record books.
In what is certainly no coincidence, long-time Formula One rivals Ferrari and McLaren debuted what, at least on paper, are nearly identical supercars, each with exotic styling, carbon fiber chassis and significant pedigree. Oh, and let's not forget 900+ horsepower hybrid engines. Yet how these two cars – the Ferrari LaFerrari (we're not making this up) and McLaren P1 – get to their respective power numbers is unique to each automaker.
In the case of the Prancing Horse, the Italians chose one of their iconic and very large V12 engines. Displacing 6.3-liters, output from the conventional gasoline engine alone is rated as an incredible 789 hp. Add on a HY-KERS regenerative braking function with an electric boost and the supercar delivers an extra 161 hp for a 950 hp total.
The Brits at McLaren, on the other hand, chose an engine almost half the size. At 3.8-liters this V8 does however make use of two turbochargers and combined with a hybrid electric boost makes 903 hp – just shy of the Ferrari.
Both cars top out at claimed speeds of somewhere north of 218 mph. As for exclusivity, the McLaren wins here with just 375 models headed for production, while Ferrari intends to produce 499.
Amidst all the familiarities, these two high-powered hybrids do also share one other obvious similarity: both have terrible names.
And then there's Lamborghini. The black sheep of the exotic sports car world, in some respects Lambo doesn't seem to have the technological engine expertise (at least when it comes to hybrids) of the other two and certainly lacks the racing background. There's no hybrid here either, just a massive 6.5-liter V12 making 750 hp mounted mid-ship in a car called the Veneno – admittedly not a great name, but at least it is a name.
Competing against the F1-inspired twins, the Veneno relies on the proverbial Ace in Lamborghini's sleeve: design – in the most extreme sense of the word. Looking like something from another planet (Cybertron perhaps?), its looks is certainly polarizing. If you hate it, that's fine by Lamborghini as they're not exactly trying to sell a ton of these things with just three being made. And if you love it, you better be rich (disgustingly rich), because for the $4 million asking price you could buy both the Ferrari and the McLaren, and a million dollar home too.

Canada's commitment to NATO is being questioned by the military alliance, says its deputy secretary-general Alexander Vershbow, who suggests Canada is backing away.
During a panel discussion this weekend at the Halifax International Security Forum, Mr. Vershbow said there is "a perception that Canada is de-emphasizing NATO a little bit in its broader security policies."
Mr. Vershbow, who is visiting federal officials in Ottawa Monday, said in a later interview that he doesn't want to "sound overly alarmist" with his remarks, but is "reflecting the chatter in the corridors of NATO headquarters."
Canada, he says, has withdrawn from two key NATO programs – the Airborne Warning and Control System and Alliance Ground Surveillance program.
In addition, there is the issue of Afghanistan post-2014. Canada is to end its military presence there in March.
"We have seen the Canadian decision, at least up until now, not to commit any forces to the post-2014 mission in Afghanistan," he said. "And while we understand that Canada may have borne more of the burden than other allies in the actual combat phase, it's raising questions."
Mr. Vershbow's comments come as Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird expressed skepticism Sunday with the deal between Iran and six world powers to curb the Iranian nuclear program, despite it being supported by strong allies Britain and the United States. In addition, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has distanced himself from the United Nations and recently boycotted the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in Sri Lanka over human-rights issues.
Instead, Mr. Vershbow said Canada is setting key priorities in North America, including a much more focused strategy toward the Arctic, closer collaboration with the U.S. through NORAD and co-operation with the U.S. in the Pacific.
Canadian National Defence Minister Rob Nicholson dismissed the view that Canada is less committed to NATO. "I don't know what would be the basis of that," he said at the closing news conference. "Canada does more than its share," he said. "Canada has been a strong supporter of NATO and will continue to be."
NATO plans a summit in September to consider its future. General Jean-Paul Paloméros, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, told The Globe that the biggest threat facing the alliance is the "massive reduction in defence budgets" of its members.
Liam Fox, a British MP and former secretary of state for defence, told the conference that 21 of 28 NATO countries this year would spend more of their GDP on "debt-interest repayments than defence."
"This is what it is to have debt as a strategic issue," he said. "We have to understand that our economic policy and our long-term security are interlinked."Report Typo/Error

BLACKED.com, an acclaimed interracial studio that has won the acclaim of viewers, AVN, and XBIZ alike, presents another hot release that will satisfy every fan of black-on-white passion and erotica. Cum Inside Me is as beautifully shot as it is hardcore, with plenty of close-ups on blowjobs, penetration, and internal cumshots. Featured cover star August Ames is a must-see, as are Ava Dalush, Kennedy Kressler, and Aaliyah Love.
Porcelain-skinned British babe Ava Dalush stands proud and beautiful on a hotel balcony in sheer black lingerie, looking out over the city of L.A. Narrating in voiceover with her sexy British accent, Ava says that she's bored in her five-year marriage and can't wait to cheat on her husband back in London while she's on a business trip. She's always fantasized about black cock, so naturally she jumps at the chance to fuck a muscular, good-looking stud like Michael Williams. Ava invites Michael to her lavish hotel suite and, after some passionate kissing, unzips his pants to find that he has an astoundingly huge dick that puts her husband's to shame. She kneels and lets him slowly, deeply fuck her face. After a long, lusty oral session, Ava mounts his throbbing rod so he can stretch her pink pussy. She's never had such good dick, as her moaning and heavy breathing can attest. Michael cums inside, and she smiles in satisfaction while pushing the cream out of her wet, pink lower lips.
Preppy, blonde-haired Kennedy Kressler is on the phone in her upscale home. Her pink sweater and pearls are a contrast to the black fuck-me pumps that signify her inner sex freak. She tells her husband that, because he cheated on her, she's going to cheat on him with a hot black guy from the gym. Kennedy is excited to invite Jason Brown into the house and kisses him passionately while sliding her hand down to his crotch. Once she feasts her eyes on his anaconda, she can't control herself! Kennedy can't fit Jason's length and girth in her mouth, but she uses both hands to stroke him as she sucks the head. He licks that pussy well before drilling deep. The challenge of fitting him inside only turns Kennedy on more. After a hard, deep, rowdy ride she begs for his cum inside her. As he's jizzing, Jason pulls out in time for us to see his final spurt onto Kennedy's pussy lips!
As beautiful blonde Aaliyah Love gazes at her own naked reflection and plays in the tub (giving us plenty of opportunity to ogle her naturally stunning tits and ass), we hear her breathy, sexy voiceover. She explains that she and her husband have a dull sex life, or they did until she noticed how he'd cum instantly every time she dirty-talked during sex about fucking another guy. For their anniversary, Aaliyah's husband goes to a swingers' website and finds a sexy, hugely endowed black man to fuck her. Aaliyah comes home to find a note letting her know about the surprise. With a huge smile, she waits on the bed in the black lace lingerie her husband provided. Jovan Jordan arrives and she eagerly fondles him through his clothes, telling him repeatedly how she has fantasized about fucking a black man. She pulls out his long, fat cock, savoring the taste and the way it stretches her mouth. She sucks him until she can't wait another minute to feel him inside her. Jovan stretches Aaliyah's little snatch wide open, but this gets her off even more. She takes a break to suck her juices off him, but soon is begging to be stuffed again and then filled with his cream!
Gorgeous brunette August Ames is one of three job candidates, but her prospective boss, Jason Brown, needs to know that she won't be too timid for the position. Determined to prove herself, August strips out of her low-cut blouse and tight miniskirt. Her bodacious natural breasts pop out of her red bra and a matching garter belt beautifully frames her perfect ass. Jason can see that August will go to great lengths to be hired, so he shows her the great length (and girth) in his pants. She hungrily wraps her mouth around him and uses plenty of spit to get him lubed up before he pushes that D inside her. The two of them have fantastic chemistry and you can tell by this fuck that they're going to have a great rapport as boss and employee. Jason pumps her pussy full of his load and we get to see it drip down her thighs. All the girls in this movie are sexy, but with her hunger for every inch of that big black cock, August shows why she's the indisputable star.

This game is vey much like its super nintendo version and is really boring.
Frankly speaking, it is a weak and, to some degree, even ridiculous attempt to display the adventure of Donkey Kong' on Genesis. Those who played all three series on SNES (or even just one of them), better not consider this game in order not to burst off speaking angry tirades. The essence of this version goes like this: our valorous Kong moves forward, hurls some tanks and jumps on the contenders, collecting bananas at the same time. Basically, the essence is the same as on SNES, but the SNES game was executed under the maximum category, and here...

As an alternative, discretionary option, students in the MPhil in Strategy, Marketing & Operations may take a suite of coursework specialising in Organisational Behaviour.
What is organisational behaviour?
Organisational Behaviour (OB) is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups, and structure have on behaviour within organisations, for the purpose of applying such knowledge toward improving an organisation's effectiveness. Understanding these social processes from a micro-perspective is essential to improve how leaders, managers and individual employees contribute to the effectiveness of the organisation. OB at Cambridge Judge Business School is an applied science built on the contributions from behavioural sciences including (social/organisational) psychology, decision-making and judgements, behavioural economics and management. It is concerned with how people's feelings, motivation and cognitions influence human behaviour in organisational and group settings.
The OB specialisation of the MPhil in Strategy, Marketing & Operations forms part of the Organisational Behaviour PhD pathway.

The modules
The default modules of the Organisational Behaviour specialisation of the MPhil in Strategy, Marketing & Operations include:
Econometrics I
This course introduces you to the variety of quantitative research methods available for applied research in management and economics, providing you with sufficient background to choose techniques and methods suited to different data-sources and models. The focus is on the way techniques relate to theory, and on the insights that can be drawn from their application. We are concerned with the interpretation and appraisal of results, and emphasise applied work.
Topics covered include:
- The paradigm: underlying "structure" and "true" models of phenomena
- Probability distributions
- Descriptive statistics
- Estimators and their properties
- Testing hypothesis
- Confidence intervals
- Simple and multiple regression
- Properties of regression coefficients
- Transformation of variables
- Linearity, nonlinearity and categorical variables
- Simultaneous equations
- Time series models
- Stationary and nonstationary processes
- Estimation
Econometrics II
Given the extensive availability and use of individual-level data sources for applied quantitative analysis, it has become increasingly important to understand the techniques available in applied research, their relation to theory, and what insights can be drawn from the estimation of models.
Many of these methods move beyond the standard tools of econometric analysis, in order to exploit the richness or structure of large sources of either cross-section or longitudinal data, or to compensate for some partial observability of data, or to build complexities in decision-making into an empirical study.
This course provides you with sufficient background to choose techniques suited both to the data-source and the model. There is an emphasis on the interpretation and critical appraisal of estimates, as well as on applied work, exploiting the availability of computer techniques for solutions.
Topics covered include:
- Binary choice
- Multiple choice and ordered response models
- Limited dependent variable techniques
- Duration and survival models
- Panel data estimation methods
- Nonparametric and semiparametric regression methods
- Count data models
You must have taken the Econometrics I course if you wish to take this course.
Organisational Behaviour
This research seminar helps you understand a variety of cutting-edge themes and topics in organisational behaviour (OB). The overarching question we address is how these aspects relate to individual, group and organisational effectiveness. Specifically, the course covers the following content areas:
- Making a theoretical contribution to OB
- Personality and values
- Emotion and moods
- Motivation
- Interpersonal networks
- Work groups and teams
- Leadership
- Organisational culture and climate
The objectives of this course are to familiarise you with classic and current articles that have shaped the field of organisational behaviour, and to prepare you to develop and conduct organisational behaviour research yourself.
Organisational Research Methods
This course helps you understand a variety of quantitative research methods, as well as their embeddedness within various research designs. Upon completion of the course, you'll have a good understanding of various quantitative methods commonly used in management research, and will have applied this knowledge to your own research project. Specifically, the course covers the following content areas:
- Research design
- Experimental & quasi-experimental design
- Survey design & analysis
- Mediation & moderation
- Multilevel analysis
- Social network analysis
- Meta-analysis
The objectives of this course are to increase your understanding of organisational research method and your sensitivity to the practical problems in conducting organisational research, as well as to apply organisational research methods to your own research projects and interests.
Organisation Theory
This course focuses on the foundational theories, central debates and key texts that help us conceptualise organisational dynamics. It provides you with advanced reading, writing and interpretation skills relating to, for example, organisational identity, organisational control and theories of entrepreneurship. It is based around intensive seminar-based sessions in which key articles are closely read and discussed. Having completed the course, you will be equipped to interpret and problematise scholarly material relating to the organisation of innovation in a creative and critical manner.
Qualitative Research Methods
This course focuses on three elements of qualitative research methodology:
- Research philosophy, in which you are introduced to some basic philosophical concepts and tools - particularly in the area of epistemology
- Qualitative research methods, where we look at the principal types of qualitative data used in management research and the practical and epistemological issues associated with their collection, analysis and use
- Research design, in which you will come to understand the links between theory, methodology and choice of research techniques; the principles and practice of research design and data access and collection using experiment, observation, interviews, surveys and archival and database retrieval; and issues of research validity, reliability, bias and ethics
The following courses are only taken by SMO students who are not writing a dissertation as part of their MPhil*:
Information Systems, Innovation & Organisational Change
This course focuses on some key theories and central debates that help us conceptualise the relationship between information systems, innovation, and strategic change. The main texts will draw from information systems, sociology, sociology of technology, and organisation theory. The course examines three key themes:
- The role of new information technologies in processes of innovation and strategic change within and between industries
- The role of information systems in enabling innovative work practices and the organisational issues involved in implementing and using technological innovations
- The relationship between information technology and processes of globalisation
two of the following four courses, depending on year:
Marketing Strategy (2017/18)
This course is a survey of three distinct yet related areas: marketing, innovation and emerging economies. Marketing is the study of the interaction between organisations and markets. Innovation is the study of the commercial exploitation by organisations of new ideas. Emerging economies, such as India and China, are the big economic phenomenon of the contemporary global scene and the theatre in which new opportunities for marketing and innovation are unfolding in real time. This course takes a strategic perspective on these topics, viewing them all from the perspective of the firm and its performance.
Seminar in Strategy Content (2017/18)
This course provides a foundational survey of the key theories and empirical works that shape research on the content of strategic management - the relationship between the different strategies and resource and capability bundles firms develop, strategic positions they create, and their financial performance and competitive advantage. Building on strategic management, economics-based, and organisational theories, this course covers substantive research on the antecedents and consequences of competitive and corporate strategies undertaken by firms in connection with the changes and disruptions in the environment. The course involves active student participation in group discussions and critiques of the seminal classic contributions as well as latest research in various topics on the content of strategic management. It also involves you developing your own research ideas and proposals that build on some of the topics and theories covered.
Consumer Behaviour (2018/19)
Consumer behaviour is the psychology of how consumers think, feel, reason, and select between different marketplace alternatives. Consumer behaviour is an important research area within almost all marketing departments at top business schools (and business schools in general), and is also closely related to other fields both within and outside of marketing (e.g., marketing strategy, organisational behaviour, experimental economics, behavioural finance and accounting, sociology, and experimental and social psychology). Thus, an understanding of consumer behaviour is useful to researchers in a number of disciplines, in addition to those planning an academic career in consumer behaviour.
The course mainly consists of seminar-based sessions in which you read, analyse and comment on selected papers from various sub-areas of consumer behaviour, with a view to:
- developing your own skills as researchers in these areas and in business in general
- getting you to the point where you can review and write high quality papers in consumer behaviour
- giving you an understanding of what it takes to publish consumer behaviour research in the top academic journals
Seminar in Strategy Process (2018/19)
This course provides a foundational survey of the key theories and empirical works that shape research on the process of strategic management - how strategic decisions are made and implemented. Building on behavioural and psychological theories, this course covers substantive research on the strategic processes such as strategic decision-making and implementation at the individual executives, groups (e.g. top management teams, middle managers) and the organisation as a whole (e.g. culture, corporate governance). The course involves active student participation in collective discussions and critiques of the seminal classic contributions as well as latest research in various topics on the content of strategic management. It also involves you developing your own research ideas and proposals that build on some of the topics and theories covered.
* Students who do not write an MPhil dissertation may, after consultation with the programme director, replace any of these three modules with an individual research project or by another module from the list of research courses specified in the MPhil handbook.
You are expected to determine your coursework plan at the start of the academic year, upon consultation with the programme director and the Organisational Behaviour specialisation faculty. In particular, your coursework modules can deviate from the above lists and can be selected from other research courses offered by CJBS or other University of Cambridge departments, upon approval by the programme director.

The Disingenuous White Liberals (DWL) of Washington D.C. are whining that black people are arrested nearly 80 percent of the time in a city that is on course to be free of blacks by 2025. [Study cites racial disparities in D.C. arrests,Washington Post, July 12, 2013]:
|80 percent of arrests in Washington D.C. are black people... the Washington Post cries tears (while waiting for the gentrification of Anacostia to take place...)
A new study by a group of civil rights lawyers says that black people in Washington are disproportionately arrested for minor drug offenses and other petty crimes, which the group's director says has essentially "criminalized a large portion of the African American community."
The Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs does not make specific policy recommendations. But the report, to be released at a news conference Friday, says the arrest statistics from 2009 through 2011 should be a "wake-up call" and feature prominently in the debate over decriminalizing drugs, forming strategies for reducing crime and devising arrest policies.
Authors of the report found that eight of 10 adults arrested in the District are black, disproportionate to the racial breakdown of residents — roughly 47 percent black and 43 percent white. Nine of 10 people arrested on the charge of simple drug possession are black, the study found. And eight of 10 charged with disorderly conduct are black.
Said Roderic V.O. Boggs, executive director of the lawyers' committee: "Police are spending an enormous amount of time resolving behavior that is not life-threatening."
He called the disparities jarring. In 2010, the equivalent of 30 percent of the District's adult male population were arrested, compared with 2 percent of the white residents.
Police have criticized similar studies as unfairly discounting the fact that crime rates are highest in black areas of the District, particularly east of the Anacostia River, which in 2012 recorded nearly half — 43 — of the District's 88 homicides. That area also accounted for nearly 40 percent of the city's violent crime last year.
Authorities say they don't target people for minor drug crimes, such as marijuana possession, but the arrest numbers reflect the increased presence of law enforcement often demanded by residents who want order restored in communities long considered neglected.Remember, D.C. is a city where 97 percent black residents of Southeast Washington were recently asked (in a hilarious billboard campaign) not to throw stones at buses.
It's a city where Hunter S. Thompson worried (in his book Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail, '72) whether or not Georgetown could survive the black menace -- considering much of the city at that point was under direct siege from the menace of black people.
And yet, the city is still under siege from the menace of black people (even though their percent of the population continues to decline and the percentage of the right kind of white people grows).
To understand why the police arrest blacks so frequently, let's consult A Study of Homicides in the District of Columbia: Metro Police Department District of Columbia, October 2001. Between 1998 - 2000, of 744 homicides, 94 percent of those arrested as suspects in those homicides were black:
Between 1998 and 2000, the three-year period that isthe subject of this report, a total of 744 homicidestook place in the District. By comparison, there were1,399 homicides from 1990 to 1992, a decrease ofalmost 47 percent.As in previous years, the overwhelming majority ofhomicide victims in the District of Columbia between1998 and 2000 were African-American. Of the 744homicides that occurred during this three-year period,685 – or more than 92 percent – involved African-American victims. The number of Hispanic/Latinoand white victims was identical: 24 in each group, or3.2 percent of the homicide total.
Nothing much has changed, with 87 percent of homicide victims in 2011 being black (there's virtually none, contrary to the Hollywood and DWL journalists everywhere, white-on-black murder).According to the 2000 Census, African-Americansaccount for 60 percent of the District's population,meaning they are seriously over-represented amonghomicide victims. By contrast, whites account for 31percent of DC's population and persons of Hispanicor Latino origin represent nearly 8 percentOf the 367 suspects arrested for homicide, 345 (94percent) were African-American – a figure roughlyequivalent to the percent of homicide victims whowere African-American (92.1). In other words, theoverwhelming majority of homicides in the Districtare black-on-black crimes. Other arrestees during thethree-year period included 16 Hispanic/Latinosuspects (4.4 percent), five whites (1.4 percent), andone Asian (0.3 percent).
Look -- Washington D.C. is undergoing unbelievable "urban renewal," which simply translates to "black removal."
But remember, it's the right kind of white people who will inhabit the capital city of the Empire of the United States of America.
Everyone else gets to enjoy the fruits of a diverse population, replete with a sizable black population reliant on Section 8 Vouchers, EBT/ Food Stamps, and welfare to subsist.
The District of Columbia?
It will be black free, though the Washington Post will continue to publish stories bemoaning that the police are merely doing their job.
It's important to feign righteous indignation while silently cheering on the "urban renewal" taking place in D.C.
Now, if only we could do something about that high rate of HIV found in the black community (odd, AIDS/HIV is basically kept alive in the black community).

Maybe it was just gamesmanship, but if comments from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder at a Senate hearing Tuesday are any indication, AT&T shouldn't be counting on a settlement of the antitrust lawsuit brought by the Justice Department.
During the hearing, Judiciary Committee antitrust panel Chairman Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wisc., asked Holder if the Justice Department would be in the case "for the long haul."
Holder responded that "people in the antitrust division are committed to seeing this through.""There is a trial team that is in place and they are ready and eager to go to court," he told the oversight hearing.
Again, this could be a negotiating strategy to force heavy concessions from AT&T in exchange for the federal government's approval of the telco giant's $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom. (In September there were reports that AT&T was offering to sell spectrum and subscribers to smaller, regional wireless providers.)
But the case isn't supposed to go to trial until mid-February, so that leaves plenty of time for AT&T to reload its lobbying guns.
(Also see: AT&T assures Justice Department: Love is hate, war is peace)
Arguing that the merger of two of the four major U.S. wireless carriers would hurt consumers through less competition and higher prices, the Justice Department filed the suit on Aug. 31 (the same day AT&T promised to un-offshore 5,000 call-center jobs if only antitrust regulators would approve the controversial deal).
No. 3 U.S. wireless carrier Sprint Nextel, which existence arguably is threatened by the proposed merger, has joined the federal lawsuit. Should the deal be approved, AT&T would become the No. 1 wireless carrier in the U.S., surpassing Verizon. Together, however, the two companies would have about 80% of the market.
AT&T argues that, rather than create a duopoly, the merger would benefit consumers by lowering prices, increasing innovation and accelerating the roll-out of high-speed wireless Internet access.
The Federal Communications Commission also is conducting a review of the proposed deal.
