The wife of an activist Chinese lawyer missing for more than a year challenged claims by authorities in China that he was working in a remote western region of the country and had been in touch with relatives, a human rights group said Thursday.
The case of Gao Zhisheng, one of China's most daring lawyers, has drawn international attention for the unusual length of his disappearance, and for earlier reports of torture he said he faced from security forces.
Gao, a self-trained lawyer and Nobel Peace Prize nominee, took on highly sensitive cases involving the banned Falun Gong spiritual group and advocated constitutional reform.
"For a very long time I have not heard from him, and I do not know where he is now," Gao's wife, Geng He, said in a statement released by the New York-based group Human Rights in China.
Her statement comes after a San Francisco-based human rights group, the Dui Hua Foundation, said last week it was told by the Chinese Embassy in Washington that Gao was working in Urumqi, capital of western China's Xinjiang region, and had been in touch with his wife and relatives.
Dui Hua did not say what kind of work Gao was allegedly doing or where he was staying. Urumqi is about 1,800 miles (2,880 kilometers) west of Beijing.
"Unless the Chinese government truly makes good on what it is declaring to the outside world and allows my husband to get in contact with me directly, I have no way of verifying his current whereabouts and whether he is safe and free," Geng said.
Gao's brother, Gao Zhiyi, has said he doesn't know where his brother was and had no luck getting information from Beijing police.
Geng and her two children now live in the United States after being accepted as refugees. They resorted to using human traffickers last year to smuggle them out of China, where they faced endless police harassment because of Gao's activism. Gao disappeared shortly after his family's escape.
Officials have been previously vague on his whereabouts, with a policeman telling Gao Zhiyi that his brother "went missing," and a Foreign Ministry official last month saying the lawyer "is where he should be." Chinese state-run media have not mentioned the case.

RALEIGH � The first recruiting class for North Carolina State under new coach Dave Doeren had a certain emphasis.
�One thing I thought we needed to do was improve our skill positions because of the type of offense we want to run,� Doeren said Wednesday when he unveiled a 23-player recruiting class.
Doeren and his staff had a difficult task after they came on board beginning in early December. The Wolfpack coaches had to re-recruit previous commitments and make new recruiting inroads.
Some players stuck with N.C. State, while others chose to break their verbal commitments.
�We tried to build relationships the best we could,� Doeren said.
He said attending a few pre-bowl practices as the Wolfpack prepared for its Music City Bowl assignment against Vanderbilt gave the incoming staff an idea about where recruiting priorities should be aimed.
Doeren stressed the importance of in-state recruiting. The Wolfpack attracted nine in-state recruits in the class announced Wednesday.
Among those, offensive lineman Cole Blankenship of Davie County and Bra�Lon Cherry of New Bern have enrolled in school and will participate in spring workouts. Blankenship played in the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas.

Marrakech ~ land full of surprise
Thanks to everyone who posted in this forum and to the ones who answered our questions. Glad we took notes from this forum before we fly to Marrakech. Now, it's our turn to contribute & hope this report will give first timers like us some confidence in preparing their trip.
3days in Marrakech - Mom & Dad (30's) with 8yrs daughter & 3yrs son.
Flight landed at noon. Nice weather, sunny day with cool breeze. Palm trees & cactuses. Everything is in reddish brown colour. We smiled when we saw the arrival forms. Glad we had pen with us. Took quite some time for Dad to fill in the details for the family whilst Mom had to chase son who was running wildly and strapped him on his stroller. Then we all waited in the Q for passport control. Collected our baggage. Saw the driver arranged via riad waiting for us.
Driver was friendly and welcoming.
Acted as an impromptu tourist guide showing us the monuments that we came across.Then he told us that he will leave us at the roadside and a man will help to carry our baggage & show our riad.
Starting from here, it was an eye opener. Our bags were carried using a cart and we then ventured into the medina which my daughter described as Alladin's maze. Felt like superstars when we passed the souk - people welcoming & guessing our nationality. After a few turns in the alley we arrived at the riad (Riad et Palais des Princesses - see my review separately) The feeling was amazing & hard to describe unless you experience it yourself. Perhaps it is like getting a grand prize after completing the maze of the souk.
Riad was exceptionally beautiful and very much in contrast with the alleys. Had our lunch at the riad's terrace. Whole family felt like royalties by then.
With the map given by the riad, we then ventured into the souks, our aim was to visit Ben Youssef Medrasa before it's closing time. Passing the souk, shopkeepers trying to convince us to enter their shops, we just smiled and declined.
For the persistent shopkeepers, my husband just shook their hands and said maybe next time. The map proved to be just a rough guide to start with, after that, it was all about following your intuition & asking around. Do 'choose' the right person for direction though. From our experience, honest looking shopkeepers are best ~ even when they don't speak the same language, their hand gestures are helpful). We managed to avoid some of the overtly friendly teenagers who came to 'help' us " Medresa is closed, tannery sale is last day today, I can show you" & "Do you need help for directions? I am happy to show".
We are also lucky because there was once, a local trying to show my husband the wrong way (path to their shop), a local lady selling vegetables tried to communicate with me in Arabic which I don't understand, she called another local to whisper to me: "Tell your husband not to believe him, the right way is first right & next two lefts".
Even in our early stage, we felt like living in a movie with good guys & bad guys characters. In the end, we did found the medresa & enjoyed the 'journey' to find it. The tip is to relax & immersed in the atmosphere although you are uncertain where you are going. Treat the 'journey' as part of the adventure. We loved it, even with the unexpected mopeds & donkeys carts. Just be cautious & it's better to let them avoid you instead of vice versa.
Ben youssef medresa was empty with very little information written in Arabic/French. Same goes with the other monuments/landmarks like the Palais Bahia, Koutobia mosque etc, I would suggest for travellers like us who want to go without guides, to read a bit of the history beforehand to get better experience.
Unlike the European museums, kids are free to run, laugh, play & hide in these historical buildings. We often left our strollers at the entry and let our son roam freely inside. The kids had so much fun that we didn't hear the usual complains of not wanting to go to museums.
Afterwards, we visited the souk again. We were interested in a tea set but the man was refusing to reduce the price. We decided to walk off. The man 'complimented' me being a Berber lady. So far we did not experience the 'hassling' that we were worried about.
We visited Djemma el Fna at night. We were not hungry and did not plan to eat, just people watching. But the persuasive art of the Morrocan businessman is another story. We didn't feel hassled at all, we politely declined a few but listened to what they wanted to say anyway. But in the end, we were 'defeated' by them. Immersed in the lively atmosphere, as if we were under a spell, we followed one of them and sat down at one of the stall and ordered food. "Morrocan whisky" & grilled mix. Food was good but it was the atmosphere that made our day. Everything was interesting to us, the sights, sounds and smell...
The local treats children like royalties- presents, compliments everywhere. My son who was normally reserved & hate being photographed was giving a big smile and laughing when the locals posed with him at the stall we ate. Each of them took turn to carry him and he had a great time.
We bought a lamp on our way back to the riad. We tried bargaining and convert the price into Euros. Happy with our deal. Saw few more shops with similar lamps, did not dare to ask for price as we didn't want to spoil our experience just in case they sell it for a lower price.
The henna lady approached us with a price of 20Dh for our daughter.
We declined but she was persistent & showing henna tattoo pictures. We forewarned our daughter about the henna lady before the trip. I'm glad she remembered so instead of looking interested, she was literally hiding behind me when the henna lady came to her. She left us in the end untouched. My daughter was smiling when the lady left. She whispers to me excitedly: Mom, we have victory over the bad guys!
On that moment, I knew that Marrakech has found a place in my daughter's heart. For her, this is a place when she can be a princess in a land full of adventures meeting the heroes, 'defeating' the villains and then returning to her beautiful palace (riad).
The next day was Trip to Atlas Mountain. We booked Adil from 4x4 Camel. I have separate review for him & the cooking lesson with Habiba. Suffice to say we had an experience of a lifetime. Great views, excellent food and we experience the generosity of the Berber people who had so little but give so much. We learned how to make tangine & Zaalok from Habiba. They even arranged for my daughter to have a small table for her to cook her own small chicken tangine. We had fun. I do not speak her language & vice versa but I can feel Habiba's warmth and kindness towards her guests. I am humbled with her, there was an incident worth mentioning, As I saw Habiba's basic kitchen, lacking of modern utensils but full of labour & love, I was wondering if I can give her something. How I wished I have brought some token for her from home. So, I thought to myself and then discussed with my husband, what if we offer to buy from her the tangine set that we used in the cooking lesson at a good price. In our mind we were thinking, with that, we can have the memories and she can have a new one. I have also checked beforehand that she did have many tangine sets in her kitchen so it is not a trouble for her if we buy one of them.
Little did I know that she refused my money and gave me the tangine set as a gift. Humbled, I tried to find a valuable thing to give from my purse apart from money, I did not have any. So I gave her my brooch which I am embarrassed to confess that was of little value for her to keep as memories. As we were leaving her house, again I was humbled by her gift to my son, a clay turtle which my son fondly played whilst we were cooking. Forever, the experience with Habiba & Khatija her daughter will be a life changing experience for our family.
After that, we went camel riding with the background of Atlas mountain. It was raining slightly but that did not dampen our mood. My children were sleepy but I woke them up anyway because they were looking forward to the ride. The camel man was very kind. Helped with my daughter's shoes which was untied. Singing along whilst we were riding the camel. Actually, he was only chanting: very good.. Very good.. Marhaba.. Marhaba.. Engaging my kids to participate in his chant. End of the ride, we paid them and happily gave him tips as we really thought he deserved it for all his effort.
It was raining when we arrived back in Marrakech. Adil, our guide left us near Avenue Mohamed V. We went from there to Koutobia Mosque. Being a Muslim, we had the opportunity to enter. The mosque was beautiful outside & inside. It had an orange garden inside and there is a small pool outdoor that people can do ablutions (clean) before praying.
A man offered to keep safe our stroller behind his bookstall and later asks us for heavy tips. We gave him the small change we have.
Our minds were tuned again, it's Marrakech not the Berber village anymore. Have to keep our guards and be streetwise :)
Rain didn't stop and became heavier.So we decided to go back to our riad and booked hammam. We passed the souk near our riad. A man we recognize from yesterday approached us, saying we promised to visit his shop yesterday. We were tired by then, no more energy to refuse so we decided to enter and plan to walk off quickly. We were hoping to buy djellaba for my husband anyway and his shop sells clothes. Once we stepped into his shop, we saw only female clothes. So, we politely tell him we are not interested because we wanted clothing for man. He randomly chose a cream djellaba and told us the djellaba is for man. Then his 'brother' entered the shop. The man was taking out the 'male-djellaba' from its mannequin. The funny part was the djellaba's mannequin had breasts :) They then became more aggressive in their persuasion. Trying to put the djellaba at my husband. My husband refused and told them he wouldn't try it on before knowing the price. We bargained at a really ridiculous low price and say that is all the money we have. My husband shook his hand, say sorry we could not afford their djellaba and walk off. They followed us. We kept on walking fast. We were rescued by other locals who were sitting at the alley, they told them off and reassured us that the aggressive salesmen will not bother us anymore. Relieved. We walked straight back to Riad quickly.
That night, we stayed in our Riad and tried the hammam. We were contemplating about the hammam choices (public or private), you can see my previous questions. In the end, because of the rain, the riad's hammam was our only choice. We tried to find a babysitter for our kids but we were surprised when they accepted our kids for the hammam for free. I have read about the hammam quite a lot before the trip. I am also a regular for spa & massage and have experience massage in Europe & south east Asia. But non of these, fully prepared me for the hammam. I have never brought my kids to spa. I always thought that spa & massage are for adult only, but It was not the case for hammam. Hammam is a cultural experience for the whole family. Even for the kids. We were giggling through out the experience. Squealing when being splashed with hot water, put on the savon noir and eucalyptus masque, scrubbed, comparing whose dirt was the most, being soaped, rinsed and finally cooled off in the cool chamber.
Everyone felt cleaner than ever. We were so relaxed that we just laze in our rooms and went to sleep.
The next day was our last day in Marrakech. Went to Palais Bahia and then off to souk once again.
This time to buy souvenirs ~djellaba, Berber lipsticks etc. Wanted a more authentic souvenirs, by now we already saw quite few djellaba shops so we kind of aware which are mass produced. We walked into the deep souk, saw something we like, it was not a ready-made shop but a tailor. Opposite the tailor shop were workers sewing the djellaba's button & decorations by hand.
At first, the tailor showed us how to get to souk semarine. He didn't really offered us anything to buy. He told us, his goods are tailor made and nothing ready made. The ones we saw were for his previous customers. Then we saw some djellabas (without hoods, don't know what it is called) which looks original and also hand sewn (good tip is to check the stitches from inside) We asked him if those were for sale. He told is those are but it is not a djellaba because there is no hood. We didnt mind so he was happy to sell us those. He even made alteration for my husband. We were happy with our purchase from him. We then ask him for scarves & female djellaba. He brought us to the next door shop which from outside sells handicrafts. No djellabas sighted within the shop. Suddenly the lady showed us some djellaba from her storage. Apparently she only sells a few for local customer. She could not speak English, so the tailor translated for her. We felt lucky to find them and their goods were better quality than the ones close to Djemma and the asking price was reasonable. A tip for those who wanted 'authentic stuff' don't be afraid to go deeper into the souk away from Djemma. There are honest, hard working shopkeepers and artisan within the medina. Sorry I couldn't describe exactly where the shop is but opposite the tailor, there were two men sewing buttons and embroidery for djellabas. I asked the tailor if I can watch them work a bit closer rather than watching from the tailors shop, he replied in negative so we respected that. We didn't come closer or take any pictures.
The real artisan in the souks are very creative. They made something out of nothing. We saw cleverly made stuff out of tyres, tins, clays and woods. Wished we had more time to explore.
Had lunch arranged in the riad before we leave. For people traveling for the first time, do not underrate the tasty food that riads can offer. They really employ a good cook but you have to ask in advance. On the day of our arrival, we ordered too much. So a lot of food was wasted. So this time, we ordered less. However, walking in the souk made everyone very hungry. We realised the food was not enough. So we asked the manager if we can order some more. He look quite perplexed and told me they could not offer us any because it took time to prepare. He suggested marrocain salad but he saw our disappointed face. Suddenly, he told us, not to worry. Just relax in the terrace. He will settle everything. We waited and continued eating. Then, they came and served us a portion of lamb with olive oil and also the salad. The lamb was on a plate instead of their normal tangine pot. We guessed that they actually bought food from outside for us. I must admit, for the price we paid this riad, their service exceed our expectation. We expected a fortune for the lunch because of their service but it only amounted to 28euros. The first lunch was 21euros. These are for family of four. They even gave my daughter a stalk of rose as a farewell memento.
Again we arranged transport from our Riad. Yes, we can have a cheaper option but why ruin the beauty of our holiday so far. It is an affordable luxury. This time my son sat inside the cart instead of his stroller. He wanted that so badly. We felt bad for the man carrying extra weight but he certainly didn't mind. He made our son so happy.
The driver this time is not the same guy. He was friendly and he did pointed to us something extra-ordinary : 'telephone company signals' which looked like a tall palm tree.
We left Marrakech feeling 3days was not enough but satisfied with our memories and purchases.
No luxury goods but memento of something money can't buy.
There is something I have to mention, when I was researching, I found a lot of post with regards to hassles, which made me worry, especially when I plan to bring the kids along. Now that I have experience the magical Marrakech, my advice to 1st timers, like in everywhere in the world, there are good people & bad. There are also 'red' and green areas. I myself had experienced being pick-pocketed in Paris and also London. Respect the culture and in return you will find an enjoyable experience hard to forget.
The other point worth mentioning, don't worry if you don't have a guide to show you around (we originally planned to have a guide but didn't in the end because the price was expensive). People are friendly and in retrospect, the experience will be more authentic and enjoyable.

Report Documents Second Mortgage, Foreclosure Link
A report from real estate research firm CoreLogic has documented what many credit unions have already discovered: a homeowner that has taken out a second mortgage on their home is significantly more likely to owe more on their home than it is now worth.
Credit unions have often faced increased risks of foreclosures from this phenomenon as the lender on the original mortgage which the homeowner then supplemented with another mortgage from another lender.
The credit union faces a foreclosure when the homeowner cannot pay make payments on the two notes or walks away from the property entirely.
Second mortgages also tend to make short sales significantly more complicated and less likely, according to real estate experts.
According to the report from CoreLogic, 38% percent of home owners who took out second notes on their property are now in a negative equity position on the debt while only 18% of home owners who did not take out a second note are in a similar position.
The Santa Ana, Calif., firm added that over 40% of current homeowners overall have taken out second notes on their homes.
Further, a second note makes the negative equity position significantly worse, the report found.
"Not only does the incidence of home equity loans raise the probability of a negative equity position, but it also raises the severity of that position," the firm wrote. "A negative equity borrower without home equity loans is upside down by an average of $52,000, versus an upside down average of $83,000 for a negative equity borrower with home equity."

This collection is made up of some of these stories. Have a heart attack? It's just the basis for a story about how much fun everyone else had while you were in the hospital. Let's say a wheel falls off while you're driving on the highway, sends up a shower of sparks, and nearly blows up a gas station. What could be funnier? Have a miserable time in the U.S. Army. Sounds good to me.
It's not a bad way to go through life, actually...turning miserable experiences into hilarious stories. Pretty soon you forget the misery and start laughing when the subject of your divorce, your heart attack, or your broken nose comes up. In fact, I expect in a few short months, we'll be laughing real hard about how poorly this collection of stories sold!

FOX Developing Modern Day 'Bonnie & Clyde' TV Series
Boy, we were more serious than we knew when we said that these days all one needed to do to get a pilot green-lit was bring classic characters into the modern day. Whether Thomas Edison, Sherlock, 'Alice in Wonderland' or 'Great Expectations,' now it seems 'Bonnie & Clyde' are to capture the hearts of the modern day next. FOX has put forth a modern version of the classic crime duo for development, but what makes their tale different than its 20th century predecessor?

The Effect of Lender Identity on a Borrowing Firm's Equity Return
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): MATTHEW T. BILLETT, MARK J. FLANNERY, JON A. GARFINKEL
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: 699-718
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1995.tb04801.x
Previous research demonstrates that a firm's common stock price tends to fall when it issues new public securities. By contrast, commercial bank loans elicit significantly positive borrower returns. This article investigates whether the lender's identity influences the market's reaction to a loan announcement. Although we find no significant difference between the market's response to bank and nonbank loans, we do find that lenders with a higher credit rating are associated with larger abnormal borrower returns. This evidence complements earlier findings that an auditor's or investment banker's perceived "quality" signals valuable information about firm value to uninformed market investors.

Medicare open enrollment is a brief time during the year when Medicare and Medicare Advantage subscribers can switch their plans and make sure that the plan they are enrolled in is the best one available.
So if you or or someone you know is on Medicare, you have a limited opportunity right now to review your benefit plan and make sure it's the best choice for you and your family. The Medicare open enrollment period is the only time you can change plans, and this year, it lasts for seven weeks-from October 15 to December 7. If you have traditional Medicare benefits through Part B, or if you get your coverage from a Medicare Advantage Plan through Part C, you can change your plan or move from one to the other. You can also change your prescription drug plan in Part D.
I know that the many different Medicare plans and options can be overwhelming, but there are resources to help you choose the best one for you and your family. The "Medicare and You" handbook is a great place to start. If you're eligible for Medicare, you should already have received your Medicare and You handbook this year. If you believe you should have gotten one and you haven't, you can download one electronically here, from www.medicare.gov, or get another one mailed to you by calling 1-800-MEDICARE. The handbook has the background information you need to change plans or learn more about the different health plans and prescription drug options. You can also talk to a specialist at 1-800-MEDICARE about any specific questions you have about your plan.
Another great resource is the Minnesota Senior Linkage Line. This hotline is provided by the Minnesota Board on Aging, and their experts can talk to you about your options for Medicare coverage and help to answer your questions. The Senior Linkage Line phone number is 1-800-333-2433.
Seniors deserve to enjoy their retirement. You worked hard for years; now your Medicare should work for you. I'll continue fighting to protect the Medicare program in Congress. It's up to you to make sure you have the Medicare coverage that's right for you and your family.

Where to ride? (near Toledo)
Does anyone have suggestions for good road paths I should check out near Toledo, OH?
I just started riding last summer and I found a couple routes I liked. Just wondering what else is out there as Toledo doesn't seem to be all that bike friendly just yet.
Wabash Cannonball Trail ( South and North fork ) Very nice trail, long ( north fork ) . South fork and north fork are nicely paved for many miles, but if u want to go to the end, make sure you have a good suspension bike... hybrids are ok...
This trail starts near Maumee, OH their website here http://www.wabashcannonballtrail.org/
Have fun!
Thanks. My in-laws live in one of the neighborhoods that the paved sections pass through, so I did ride that a bit. I thought it was really a nice ride.
This is one i want to try this year. Trek Navigator ok for this?
I'd like to try the paved sections this year, I don't do gravel if I can avoid it. :D
Really, anything to the west is pretty decent riding. Lots of long, open roads with very little traffic. You can spend all the time you want meandering around the Swanton/Oak Openings area.
As for just paths, the University Trail between UT and Sylvania is okay.
Google Maps will show trails if you select Bicycling from the top right pulldown list. Dark green lines are bike trails. Zoom way in to a trail, and it shows the trail name on the green line.
Here's Google Maps bike trails near Toledo

Foodborne Illness - Sickness or harm caused by the consumption of unsafe foods or beverages.
Harry Dolinski was the Executive Chef at the Regal House hotel. One of his specialties was a hearty vegetable soup that was featured on the lunch buffet every Thursday. Pauline Guilliard and her friends decided to have lunch at the Regal House one Thursday before attending an art exhibit. Ms. Guillard read the lighted menu at the front of the buffet line. The Chef's specials, including the vegetable soup, were written on the menu with a felt-tip pen.
Ms. Guilliard selected the vegetable soup and a few other items, and consumed one full bowl of the soup. Three hours later, at the art exhibit, she suffered seizures and had difficulty breathing. It turned out that the soup contained MSG, a food item to which she has severe reactions. Ms. Guilliard recovered, but her attorney contacted the hotel with a demand letter seeking compensation for her suffering.
The hotel's attorney replied that the soup served by the hotel was wholesome and that Ms. Guillard's reaction to the MSG could not have been reasonably foreseen. In addition, the hotel maintained that MSG is a common seasoning used worldwide for many years, and thus it would have been the diner's responsibility to inform the foodservice operation of any allergies or allergic reactions. As a result, the liability for Ms. Guillard's illness was hers alone.
Penny Mance was a single mother of three children living in an urban apartment complex. She worked as a paralegal in a downtown attorney's office. One morning, Penny was asked to come in to work an hour later than her usual time. She used the opportunity to treat her three children to breakfast at a fast food restaurant near their home.
The Mance family arrived at the restaurant at 8:00 A.M. and ordered breakfast. For their beverage selections, Penny Mance ordered hot chocolate and the children selected orange juice.
After the family sat down, Tina, Penny's six-year-old daughter, told her mother that she wanted to try the hot chocolate. The beverage had been served in a Styrofoam cup with a plastic lid. Penny replied that the chocolate was "probably too hot for her to try."
This comment was overheard by several guests sitting near the Mance family. Tina reached for the chocolate anyway; her mother, while trying to pull the chocolate away, spilled it on her own hands. Penny suffered second- and third-degree burns from the hot chocolate and was forced to miss work for three weeks. Upon returning, her typing speed was severely reduced as a result of tissue scarring on her left hand.
Penny retained one of the attorneys where she worked to sue the fast food restaurant. In court depositions later on, it was estimated that the chocolate was served at a temperature of 190 degrees F. The restaurant's attorney claimed the chocolate was not unsafe when it was served. He pointed to the fact that Ms. Mance knew the beverage was probably too hot for the child as an indication that she was willing to accept the risk of drinking a hot beverage.
In addition, the restaurant's attorney maintained that it was the child's action, not the restaurant's, that was the direct cause of the accident. Undeterred, Penny's attorney sued for damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and a large amount for punitive damages.

Jeffery and Latisha Williams arranged a fiftieth anniversary party for Latisha's parents. They reserved a private room at The Tannery, an upscale steak and seafood house located two miles from their suburban home. The Williams hosted a total of 10 people. Unfortunately, the service they received from the restaurant staff was not very good.
Unfortunately, the service they received from the restaurant staff was not very good. When the check arrived, Mr. Williams noticed that a 15 percent charge had been added to the total price of the bill. When he inquired about the charge, his server informed him that it was the restaurant's policy to assess a 15 percent "tip" to the bill of all parties larger than eight persons.
The policy, explained the server, was not printed on the menu, but was to be verbally relayed anytime a guest made a reservation for more than eight people. Mr. Williams replied that the reservation was made by his secretary, and she mentioned no such policy when she informed Mr. Williams of the restaurant's availability.
Mr. Williams refused to pay the extra charge claiming that it should be he, not the restaurant, to determine the amount of the gratuity, if any. When the restaurant manager arrived on the scene, he informed Mr. Williams that the server had misspoken and that the extra charge was in fact a "service charge," and not a tip. Mr. Williams still refused to pay the added charge.

Mark Hadley entered the Squirrel Cage tavern at 4:00 P.M. on a Thursday afternoon. He sat down at the bar and, according to eyewitnesses, uttered just a single word when approached by the bartender. The one word was "draft."
As the bartender had only one brand of beer on draft, she silently pulled the beer, handed it to Mr. Hadley, and accepted the five-dollar bill he offered in payment.
Mr. Hadley left the bar some 15 minutes later having never said a word to anyone, leaving the change from his five dollars on the bar counter.
Subsequently, Mr. Hadley was involved in an auto accident in which a 10-year-old boy was rendered sightless. The boy's parents sued the Squirrel Cage Tavern and another operation, the Dulcimer Bar.
The Dulcimer Bar was sued because Mr. Hadley had consumed 10 beers in three hours at that establishment prior to leaving it and driving to the Squirrel Cage.
Attorneys for the Squirrel Cage argued that their client could not have known of Mr. Hadley's condition when he entered their establishment, and that they were indeed acting responsibly in that they served him only one beer.
Attorneys for the injured boy countered that the Squirrel Cage served alcohol to an intoxicated person, a violation of state law, and thus under the state's Dram Shop legislation was responsible for Mr. Hadley's subsequent actions.

Michele Rodgers entered the Golden Spike Bar and Grill on a Friday night at approximately 10:30 P.M. At the door, she was stopped briefly by the bar's security guard. The guard, Luis Sargota, inspected Michele's photo ID, as he had been trained to do during the one-hour orientation class he attended on his first day of work.
The photo ID presented by Michele showed her age to be 21 years and three months. The photo on the picture ID was clearly her own. She was not asked to remove the ID from her wallet. Michele entered the bar and, over a period of three hours, consumed five Fuzzy Navel drinks, each containing approximately 1.5 ounces of 80 proof alcohol served with fruit juice.
Upon leaving the bar at 1:30 A.M., Michele was involved in a traffic accident that seriously injured a man driving home after working the late shift at a local factory. The family of the injured man sued Michele and the Golden Spike when it was discovered that Michele was in fact only 20 years old, and thus was not of a legal age to drink alcohol.
The attorney for the Golden Spike maintained that the bar acted responsibly, in that it trained its security guards to check for identification prior to allowing admission to the bar, and that Ms. Rodgers had presented a falsified identification card, which the bar could not reasonably have known was false. In addition, the security guard stated that Ms. Rodgers "looked" at least 21 when she entered the bar. Thus, the bar was not guilty of knowingly serving minors.
Samuel Vosovic attended a reception in the ballroom of the Altoona Pike Country Club. Mr. Vosovic was a salesman for a photography studio, and he attended the reception at the invitation of Ronald Thespia, one of the club's well-known members. Mr. Thespia's company sponsored the reception, which consisted of light hors d'oeuvres and an open bar.
Over the course of two and- a half hours, it was determined that Mr. Vosovic consumed approximately nine drinks. The reception was large enough to require three bartender stations in the room. No single bartender served Mr. Vosovic more than three drinks in the course of the evening. Lea Tobson, one of the club's bartenders did finally detect a significant change in Mr. Vosovic's behavior and, when Mr. Vosovic requested another drink, refused to serve him and summoned a manager.
The club's Food and Beverage director determined that Mr. Vosovic was in all likelihood intoxicated. The Director asked Mr. Vosovic to turn over his car keys, then instructed one of the club's waitstaff to drive Mr. Vosovic home, give the car keys to his wife, and take a cab back to the club. However, one hour after being taken home, Mr. Vosovic got back behind the wheel of his car.
Still intoxicated, he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree, killing him instantly. His wife brought suit against the country club under Dram Shop legislation in her state.
The club responded that it had acted responsibly in both refusing to serve Mr. Vosovic, and in ensuring that he got home safely.
Mrs. Vosovic replied that her husband was upset at his treatment by the club when he arrived home, and that she "couldn't stop him" when he took the car keys from her, intent on returning to the club. She held the club responsible because, as she stated, "they got him drunk." As additional evidence of the club's irresponsibility, she pointed to the tipping policy in place during open bars.
Essentially, in an open bar situation, the bartenders at the club were paid a percentage of the sales price of the alcohol consumed. Mrs. Vosovic's attorney claimed that the club's tipping policy encouraged its bartenders to over-pour the drinks they served, as they sought to build the sales value of the event and thus their own income.

I am in the boat with you - I feel the same pain. Someone that has more experience than me will be along soon with some advice that will help you, but I just wanted to say that you have been heard, and you are not alone.
I am so utterly sorry you are going through this. I am too new to give you better advice than most here.
The only thing that helps my sadness is water, healthy food, exercise, friends, and daylight. It i the nights and early mornings that are hard. tonight will be a difficult one. Just know you are not alone.
If your WH thinks he is better off without you, it is his loss, not yours. He's a fool and he will soon come to realize what a mistake he has made.
In the meantime...focus on yourself. Take it one day at a time. Make sure you eat, sleep and drink plenty of water! Read the healing library as much as possible, and come back to SI often.
If he is willing to leave you over a confrontation about deleting internet history, he is obviously hiding something. You need to show him that these actions are NOT OK. You will not stand for lies any longer. Stand firm. Stand up for yourself, because you deserve better than that.
I know it seems hard and unimaginable, but you will be happy again, with or without your WH. So focus on being happy with just you, and you know what? If he realizes the huge blunder he has made...maybe by then you won't even want him back. How about them apples?
Together 10 years

IN R...Working at it every day.
I feel your pain, honey. I really do. I am 5 years out and only NOW in the last year have I been hitting the alcohol really hard. It became my best friend,sadly. Throughout my marriage I never, ever drank. I had 3 geriatric dogs that I needed to be sober for so I never began abusing alcohol to drown my sorrows from one hit after another in my life until the last one of my four-legger children had to be driven to get put down by me in 2011. For two and half years now -most excessively in 2013 - I have been drunk. Here is my point: one of the posters here last week said "put the bottle down" and that is the first time it resonated with me to do so. After two and half years of abuse to drown my sorrows, I have put on weight, I look 150 years old even though I am 46 and my health is suffering. This week is the FIRST week I haven't had any alcohol in all that time. My second point is is that if it goes unchecked it becomes a noose around your neck bringing you down.
I would like to say that everyone that comes on this site and has to go through this pain MUST know that it IS possible to come out the other side without such abuse. For me, the infidelity, careless disregard for 15 years of marriage, younger model who could conceive, loss of love, loss of financial security, the huge reality of divorce, job loss, career loss, bankruptcy, foreclosure and unrooting to a different state was TOO much to take one after another. I retreated within myself and hid. My third point is is to learn from the stories you read here about how strong you can become so much more than me without feeling such pain. Right now, it IS so much to take...just don't do what I did and let ALL of it get to you so bad that you end up hurting yourself in the process.
1."'FOREVER' in love" lasts only 14 years.
2. Alcohol is NO solution just a bigger problem
My favorite drink is water. Call me Dasani23
Second - I say this with as much gentleness as possible - stop drinking! This can spiral out of control to the point you hit rock bottom, yes it can get worse! Please, please stop.
Take care of YOU! Eat healthy foods, drink lots of water, exercise - now more than ever you need to be your best.
Tell your friends IRL - let them know what is going on. I'm sure they know something is wrong, they will help. Having one or two people know what is going on will give you a safe place to vent. You need friends now ...
Know he's the cheater, the liar and the sneak ... you did not do these things, he CHOSE to do them, it is in no way your fault. Do not own any of the shame or blame.
However, I was also doing three strenuous yoga classes a week and I think that saved my sanity.
It's natural to gravitate to self-soothing behaviours, but it's also not great to let it keep you from really embracing the pain of the huge changes you're going through. This shit is hard!
I can totally relate though. Big hugs. You will get through this.
Now I'm six *years* out and life is better. I did carry on with too much wine for quite a long time though, turning it into a celebration of my new freedom.
This year I finally got a grip on it and have some discipline now.
I put two words in my phone that pop up every day around happy hour:
I'm allowed to have wine in the house on any day that has an "F" in it.
You will figure it out for yourself eventually. Just don't let it destroy you. You're worth more.

We have all done and said things we wish we hadn't. I am too new on SI to give you advice but one thing I've learned already is that no one here is judging anyone. Try not to be embarrassed, get some rest, and know you will get through this.

The fact that Twilight made it on this infographic, which shows the movie franchises that make the most money, proves nothing about the film's quality. But, given the assumption that everyone here recognizes these movies as utter abominations, we can use this infographic to prove something else.
What's that, you ask? That people need to stop wasting their money on terrible movies!
James Bond is at the top of this list, of course, but is that really fair? The series has been in production for so long that they've had to hire several different people to play the main character! Harry Potter came in third and Dumbledore only died once! I think that, based on the well-established method of the KDR (kill to death ratio), that we can vote Bond out of his top spot.
Star Wars should be number one of this list, just because of its awesomeness. I realize that this infographic is about money, but the amount of money earned should reflect the quality of the movies, so I'm going to pull a fast one and cook the books for next decade's edition. (Unless Disney gets it together and start putting out some great movies.)
There you have it! You now know which movie franchises make the most money!
Of course, you still don't know who that guy "Grandma" is, but you sure wish your girlfriend would stop saying she loves him. Reference to one of the best Vine videos on that annoying page that gets put on everyone's Facebook.

The LazerZone precise positioning grade technology has been expanded to include concrete paving, providing high accuracy grade reference on the entire paving project. Millimeter GPS with LazerZone provides horizontal and vertical accuracies, better than a conventional stringline. The inherent weaknesses in stringlines are set-up mistakes and the lines tend to sag from one stake to the other. Contractors can eliminate stringlines because the LazerZone system can be used on multiple machines and grade checkers. Millimeter GPS with LazerZone also saves an incredible amount of time. There is no need for a lengthy set-up like a conventional stringline.

CAIRO - Egypt's new president on Tuesday ordered his interior minister to do whatever it takes to combat sexual harassment, weighing in on one of the nation's most troubling social ills after a string of sexual assaults marred weekend celebrations marking his inauguration.
A presidential spokesman said Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi also called for the decisive implementation of a new law that punishes convicted harassers with up to five years in prison. Describing sexual harassment as a phenomena "alien" to Egypt, he quoted al-Sisi as also calling for the restoration of the "real and moral" values of Egypt's streets. (AP)

Lady's Name Is Too Long For Her ID
Here in the El Paso area, we're used to long names. Hawaii really takes it over the top though!
The Borderland is loaded with long names. Aberquero, Arechavaleta, De La Fuente, Sepulveda, Villasenor, Villanueva … you get the picture.
Couple that with long first names like Guillermo, Raimundo, Salvadore, Vicente, Hortencia and it gets even worse. (I have friends who fill out forms that only take their last name and 3 – 4 letters of their first!) Now, on top of all that, tack on the tradition of combining surnames we have around here. Leticia Villasenor De La Cruz- Archuleta … there's a mouthful.
We got nothing on Hawaiians though. Hawaiian surnames include 'A'Amakualenalena, Hokuokalani, Kahokuokalani just to name a few. One of my New England Patriots, Michael Hoomanawanuis' last name barely fits across the back of his jersey! (And it's not exactly a tiny jersey.)
This Hawaiian lady has a nombre and a half though! (She even had to fight the state of Hawaii to change the laws regarding driver licenses so that her 36 character name would fit!) Her name is Janice "Lokelani" Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele. Go ahead … try and pronounce it. (You tried all the others. Didn't you?)
What's the longest name you ever heard? Comment below or on the Q facebook page! (I'm betting the Hawaiians or the "skyi's" (Gronkowski, Banaszewski, etc…) win this one.)

The drug war in Mexico has claimed at least 70,000 lives, but the full death toll may never be known because thousands are searching for relatives who have disappeared. Along the border some of those missing in Mexico are U.S. citizens. "It's individuals that communicated with their loved ones on a daily basis and all of a sudden they disappear," said Oscar Hagelseib, assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security's investigations in El Paso. The agency helped Mexico pinpoint the location of a mass grave in the Valley of Juarez last November. "The intelligence was there was a strong possibility there were United States citizens there," said Hagelseib. Just across the border from El Paso on the outskirts of Juarez, forensic workers dug up the remains of 20 men all were murdered. Some showed signs of torture. Mexico's Interior Ministry estimates 26,000 people were reported missing during the six years when Felipe Calderon was president and drug violence spiked. Human rights organizations say military and police are behind some disappearances. Whatever the circumstances, in many cases, families are left to search for their missing loved ones on their own. Victim's advocates are now calling on the Mexican government to create a national DNA database to help match the missing with bodies waiting to be identified in morgues. Relatives in many states have provided authorities with DNA samples...more

Here we go again: I just spent 10 minutes on the phone, getting a consensus from the locals on the pronunciation of a local spot. This time, it was Mt. Pinos, where snow started falling, overnight. What's the correct pronunciation? Keep reading. On TV, saying it right is as important as a newspaper reporter spelling it right. And I remember my journalism 101 teacher, Mr. Lynch, telling us "If readers see you can't spell right, why should they trust anything else you report?" I owe it to you to get it right.
It's tougher than it used to be to get 100% agreement on pronunciations. San Pedro should be San PAY'-droh, but the locals have always said San PEEH'-droh. Until the last 10 years. The Spanish pronunciation has crept back in.
There's Rubidoux (RUE'-buh-doe), San Luis Obispo (san-lu-EES' -or- san-LU'-iss, but never San Louie…), and San Jacinto… on which I'm still not sure there's a consensus: some say YA'-sinto, others say HUH'-sinto.
But now, after four pleasant phone calls to to some nearby inns (in Lebec, Frazier Park, and Gorman), I feel reasonably sure of this — Mt. Pinos is known to all, not as PIN'-yose, but Mt. PYE'-nose.

Gillian Riley's techniques allow you to understand your addiction, take control and break your habit. There is a step-by-step giving up programme that is easy to follow and really works. Even in stressful situations, or when boredom sets in, you'll soon realise that even though the freedom and opportunity to smoke is there you have chosen not to.
How to Stop Smoking and Stay Stopped for Good will even help you to give up smoking without gaining weight.

"only half of a solution"
I have been a smoker for 11 years and tried to quit many times. There are many good tips in this book but unless you are listening to it constantly it is very hard to actually quit using this book alone. It helped me cut back but I could not quit entirely based on the advice in this book. It DID get me to think a lot about quitting and realize how much I wanted to quit and I don't regret listening to it. It also made me hold myself accountable for quitting and not push blame on others or make excuses for smoking. Listening to this book and trying it did put me in the right state of mind to actually quit, but it wasn't until I combined some of that mentality with nicotine replacement therapy (which the book advises against) was I able to actually quit cigarettes 100%.
"excellent book well worth the read ."
excellent book
addressed all the implications around smoking and has suggested I will read again .
"Well it worked for me"
I gave up smoking May 2013 using this audiobook (over a year). I have tried everything and it hasnt worked. Now it may have been partly due to other things (youtube vids, gritted teeth etc) but I think this book was the deal clincher!
Bit like Allen Carr but i preferred Gillian everyday of the week!
Not bad - very listenable
What a drag - 20 years of smoking,,,
It is no magic cure - read it, and re-read until you feel ready to quit - good luck
"Good for those too lazy to read"
Got this for my boyfriend who would never have read the book & it did work for a while, but he has gone back to his old ways.
That said, I think it is more about him than the book or it's techniques as it was more me that wanted him to give up than him wanting it himself.
"Don't waste your money!"
It still makes you use willpower! Using willpower is difficult! Read Easyway Allen Carr! It's the only way !
No! You need to understand nicotine addiction and the brainwashing! This book told me to keep cigarettes on me once I had stopped this means using willpower to resist!! If you wanted to stop eating chocolate would you carry a bar of galaxy round with you? Also going on about "the desire to smoke" smoking is nicotine addiction and once you understand nicotine addiction and realise the reasons you smoke are illusions you will find it easy! Allen Carrs Easyway does just this and it makes it easy to stop and you don't have to use willpower to "remove the disire to smoke"
None it makes you feel you're making a sacrifice! You're NOT!
If you're gonna buy a book make it EASYWAY!

NASCAR news - Video: arrivin' in style - 2009
never really paid much attention to how pace cars turn up at race tracks. We
always assumed they just, sort of, drove there.
But at last weekend's NASCAR race at the Texas Motor Speedway (somewhere in the US, so we're told), the Chevrolet Camaro SS pace car demonstrated that
there's only one way to arrive at a race in style.
In a Chinook helicopter.
As a salute to US military veterans, the monster double-rotor chopper touched
down by the side of track before releasing the Chevy from its belly in a sort
of, er, glorious metallic birthing act.
The Camaro was driven by NASA astronaut Doug Hurley, who is not only a US
Marine Corps colonel, but also holds a Texas Motor Speedway season ticket and
piloted the shuttle Endeavour to the International Space Station in July. We
think Doug Hurley might be coolest man in the world.
Anyhow, this got us thinking: surely F1 must respond in suit? We want the Merc
SL63 (or whatever car it'll be next year) to arrive at the first race in
Bahrain next year… carried by a pack of mechanical winged monkeys. We shall
settle for nothing less.

Thank you for your request for feedback.
At the time I bought my tickets, the service was alright.
However, I do have cause for complaint.
I bought two tickets from Hoodaki. Because of visa complications, we had to change the outbound date on one ticket. We paid an extra £350 for this change as we were informed by Hoodaki, that changes could not be made to outbound journeys. We were also told that the entitlement to one FREE change on the inbound journey was available.
Unfortunately, we did have to change the return journey from Goa & went to the airline (Jet Airways) to do this. They informed us because we had made a change to our oubound journey we had USED UP our FREE change & we had to pay for this change. They advised us to contact Hoodaki.
We contacted Hoodaki but have not yet received a reply.
I have sent this note with ticket details directly to Hoodaki & hopefully will receive a response.

Shaping a sustainable energy future for India: Management challenges
Most of the studies on the Indian energy sector focus on the possible future scenarios of Indian energy system development without considering the management dimension to the problem--how to ensure a smooth transition to reach the desired future state. The purpose of this paper is to highlight some sector management concerns to a sustainable energy future in the country. The paper follows a deductive approach and reviews the present status and possible future energy outlooks from the existing literature. This is followed by a strategy outline to achieve long-term energy sustainability. Management challenges on the way to such a sustainable future are finally presented. The paper finds that the aspiration of becoming an economic powerhouse and the need to eradicate poverty will necessarily mean an increase in energy consumption unless a decoupling of energy and GDP growth is achieved. Consequently, the energy future of the country is eminently unsustainable. A strategy focussing on demand reduction, enhanced access, use of local resources and better management practices is proposed here. However, a sustainable path faces a number of challenges from the management and policy perspectives.

Virtual Tech Support is on the Rise
For many companies the days of resolving tech problems through phone based help desks are long gone, being superseded by ever more advanced formers of remote tech support tools.
In the growing world of virtual tech support, IDC Research Manager, Matt Healey, said increasingly advanced solutions mean that tech support personnel can take over the mouse, keyboard and video, and fix anything as if they were sitting right there.
These newer solutions, provided by vendors ranging from WebEx to Citrix Online and Bomgar Corp., among others, can serve an enterprise with multiple machines, versus earlier remote control software that required each PC to carry the solution individually. That meant only one machine could be accessed at any given time.
Healey is finding the newer tools getting lots of traction for companies with a lot of remote workers, with high-tech companies that have to support their products and don't know where or how theyre being deployed, or for services providers with a suite of clients that cant be supported by rolling out a truck.
With the increase in teleworking and rise of remote workers, Healey believes that the world of remote tech support is going to mushroom and, in some cases, provides the ability to create virtual IT departments. Calling this a pretty aggressive market, hes expecting sales of remote tech support solutions to almost triple in the next four years from $126 million in 2007 to $335 million in 2012.
I think CIOs need to look into this technology over the next 12 to 18 months to see if is applicable to their organization and determine if these tools will allow the help desk to be more efficient. But he warns that the move to virtual work places wont ratchet back.
Forward thinking companies have turned support into a key differentiator and profit center. By being able to provide instant, virtual hands-on support, companies have been able to differentiate themselves from competitors and offer higher, profitable support packages, said Colin Smith of Cisco Corporate Communications.
Cisco owns WebEx, which provides two on-demand solutions to serve internal staff or provide external tech support capabilitiesCisco WebEx Support and Cisco WebEx System Management. Both products adhere to strict national and international website authentication and data encryption standards, according to Smith.
Most vendors in this market provide the solution as a hosted application, meaning the customer or services provider pays a monthly or annual fee to the vendors. According to Healey, the traditional software licensing model is also available and is often used to support internal employees.
Bomgar, located in
He developed the first version of what would become Bomgars product so I could work from home or a coffee shop and fix computer problems from any place in the world in seconds. What started as a personal quest grew into a business as Bomgar noted the rise of the virtual work place where suddenly youve got people working everywhere from park benches to coffee shops, which meant deploying technology to support them anywhere.
The next step was applying the product to help desks and tech support departments so they could connect to end users via the Internet and work without constraints of fire walls or geography, explained Nathan McNeill, co-founder and vice president of Product Strategy.
Five years later, Bomgar has 4,000 customers some of whom use the product to serve their internal staff and others who provide tech support virtually to external customers. As the solution has evolved, Healey said it can de-couple IT personnel from the task they need to complete, meaning organizations effectively virtualize the support side of an IT departments for a wider range of benefits.
Ease of Access
Heres how it works: An organization decides to create virtual tech support capabilities, either for internal staff or external customers, and installs a Bomgar box. Users seeking help can connect to a special Website and download an application that opens access to the Bomgar solution, which starts a tech support session. The user then choose to end the session and the application is removed from their desktop.
Because of the Web access, McNeill said the solution can be used by "IT departments supporting 1,000 employees or an IT vendor supporting their customers anywhere in the world. It doesn't matter where (the end user) is." An average deployment of Bomgar can support up to 20 reps concurrently, he added.
To ensure security and minimize the exposure of sensitive data that may be viewed in the remote sessions, Bomgars hardware appliance is placed within the company's own network and firewall. According to McNeill, the appliance is placed with an outward connection to the Internet, similar to an email server. Plus, he said everything taking place during a session was logged, allowing the administrator to audit and manage the process.
Beringer Associates in Pennsauken, N.J., a provider of managed network services, VoIP phone systems and CRM software to over 1,000 small and medium-sized businesses nationwide, has installed the Bomgar product for about a year to replace traditional phone based tech support.
Although Beringer had experimented with any number of programs that allowed their 12 support reps remote access to customers desktops, Beringer Vice President David Buggy said Bomgars was the only one they found that allowed them through customer firewalls with sufficient auditing to meet the security needs of their many financial services industry clients.
According to Buggy, Beringer benefits by having our reps as productive as they can be, while the customer benefits by not having to be bothered with connectivity issues. With previous solutions, the rep would first have to uncover how to connect with the customer before they could even begin the troubleshooting process. Additionally, the customer always had to be available to grant the support rep permission for access to the system after a reboot.
He says the fact that support representatives can connect remotely and perform their job has not only given the existing reps great reliability, but means that Beringer is able to deliver services consistently with locations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Florida. In addition, Buggy says they have integrated Bomgar with their trouble ticket system, so once a ticket is opened, they can immediately connect via Bomgar and have a complete history of the service process once it is complete.
Some of the most significant benefits of remote tech support, according to Buggy, are reduced travel time, shorter time to resolution, and enhanced productivity. Support service levels have also been expanded, he added.
Virtual IT support doesnt change how our own IT is provided, but it certainly changes how we do business, in general, added Buggy. Besides serving external customers, support reps use the tools to collaborate on problems via their desktops rather than meeting face to face. It can certainly make an internal IT department more productive and efficient because (these tools) make providing support more efficient.
Healey said there are pitfalls to the virtual tech support model, however. The service provided may be handled remotely, but its only as good as the tech support provided. Humans still have to actually resolve the tech problems and be able to maintain the technology. The winning product, he added, will be the one that is easiest for the tech professional to use.

The speculation over Halo: Spartan Assault was put to rest today by Vanguard Games. They've revealed that Spartan is a top-down shooter in development for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.
Spartan Assault is set between Halo 3 and Halo 4. Players will take on the role of Commander Sarah Palmer or Spartan Davis, soldiers stationed aboard the UNSC Infinity. These soldiers will fight against Covenant forces in 25 missions. Leaderboards will track players' performance all the while.
Players' progress in Spartan Assault will help their Halo 4 multiplayer career. Spartan allows them to earn Achievements, emblems and XP for their Halo 4 avatar. Vanguard says that the two games will be integrated in other ways after Spartan's launch.
Spartan Assault will be available in July for $6.99. The game will be accompanied by a comic book series called Halo: Initiation. The three-part series, a collaboration between Dark Horse Comics and 343, will set up the story of Spartan Assault.
The first screenshots from Spartan are below.

It is almost 25 years since the crackdown on a pro-democracy movement around Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989 led to a bloody massacre.
In the bloody aftermath of the Tiananmen massacre, as the Communist party hunted down the leaders of the student protests, activists in Hong Kong gingerly brokered a meeting with the underworld boss, Brother Six.
What followed was a series of incredible escapes engineered by political activists, triads like Brother Six and Western diplomats that spirited at least 150 people out of China under the noses of the authorities, first to Hong Kong, then a British territory, and then onwards to France and the United States.

QUEBEC — The Parti Quebecois government appears to be digging in its heels on its controversial religion plan and preparing for an extended debate.
Statements from ministers today suggest the PQ has no intention of watering down the plan for speedy passage in the current minority legislature.
One day after a minister expressed a willingness to "improve" the charter, the government suggested the changes it envisioned would be minor and would not dilute its basic elements.
While the third party in the legislature is offering to negotiate a deal on a bill, the minister spearheading the proposed Charter of Values says he prefers to put it to Quebecers.
A website set up for the proposed rules has already received 10,000 comments and Bernard Drainville, the minister responsible for democratic reforms, told a news conference the debate could continue for many "weeks."
He welcomed the Coaltion party's offer but Drainville said he didn't want to upset the public.
"It's a debate that's too important," Drainville said on Wednesday.
"We have to leave Quebecers the time. These are their values."
Since the charter appears stalled in its current form, in the present minority legislature, the PQ appears to have two basic options: strip it down to pass it quickly, or preserve it for possible use later as an election promise.
The PQ expressed little eagerness Wednesday to pass it quickly.
If the issue winds up becoming an election plank it would likely give the PQ two hot-button identity issues for their platform: the Marois government has already said it expects that its language law, Bill 14, will die on the order paper of the current legislature.
The PQ response came a day after Coalition Leader Francois Legault urged the government to accept a watered-down version of the charter and spare the province a "social crisis."
Drainville said it's premature to begin talks with the opposition parties while public debate is ongoing and that the bill has not yet been tabled.
The PQ could sit down with opponents after the bill is tabled in the fall, Drainville said.
"Before putting the final touches on the bill, we have to take into consideration all these comments we'll receive and the debate that will take place," the minister said.
"So we're still talking about many weeks."
Even International Relations Minister Jean-Francois Lisee, who had sounded a conciliatory note the previous day, was sounding less pliable.
"It's time to have the guts to decide for real," Lisee said Wednesday. One day earlier, Lisee had mentioned improving the charter, but clarified that he meant the temporary opt-out clauses for certain communities and institutions.
Lisee defended the PQ version of the charter again as the right option for Quebec.
The debate comes as a poll, published in La Presse on Wednesday, suggests the values plan would skyrocket in popularity if its most controversial provision — the one banning religious headwear — were removed from it.
The PQ wants to forbid public sector employees from wearing visible religious symbols including hijabs, turbans, yarmulkes and larger-than-average crucifixes.
The detailed poll on Quebec attitudes also listed four streams of thought on the subject: old-stock Catholics, concerned about the effect of immigration (29 per cent of respondents); tolerant believers, with a live-and-let-live approach to religious faith (29 per cent); closed secularists, who oppose religion in the public space (21 per cent); and open secularists, who aren't religious but aren't concerned about others' expressions of faith (21 per cent).
Those findings suggest an exact 50-50 split in Quebec, between people whose worldview supports a PQ-style approach and those who oppose it.
The CROP survey of 1,000 people was conducted online from Sept. 12 to 15.

I played a gig back in mid December. I just received my check today.
The first time I played there it took about 5 weeks. They said it would be much faster in the future because I was already in their system (big corporation, check had to come from corporate office).
I had to keep emailing and calling. Excuse after excuse.
I'm pretty sure I won't be playing there again. It really isn't worth the hassle

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. -- At the Aug. 5 City Council meeting some nine citizens – many supporters of Mayor Mike Bodker – chastised the City Council for its reluctance to come forward with some tangible allegations against the mayor.
After the council meeting, those detractors got what they asked for.
Resident Bob Frame said the investigation was tainting the image of Johns Creek, while Norman Board came forward to say he was "frustrated at being kept in the dark" by council.
"If we had some idea of what he's done, we could get some idea that the money we're spending is worth it," Board said.
One resident told the council to "put up or shut up." Resident Don Hiltner said it appeared council "was trying to micromanage the mayor."
After weeks of pressure to be more forthcoming, the council members decided to break their silence.
Councilwoman Karen Richardson said the council had taken on the role of "protectors" of the city during the investigation.
"We find ourselves in a pickle or a quandary because in the years on the board we have become very protective of the community and the perception people have of the city," Richardson said. "We wanted to handle things quietly rather than disclose things that would be embarrassing to the mayor.
"Perhaps we've gone overboard in being protective."
After the meeting Richardson and Councilwoman Bev Miller held an impromptu press conference in the meeting room to spell out in general terms at least some of the allegations the mayor is facing.
Among the charges under investigation are that the mayor had direct involvement in police affairs and that he bullied staff, even going so far as to threaten their livelihood. Other allegations under investigation are that the mayor may have "crossed the line" in asking favors of people with business in the city.
He is alleged to have pushed forward a personal agenda and personal goals versus the city's public agenda.
Miller said this all came to a head at the council's retreat May 10. That is what is driving this investigation before the elections.
"So we got on [the allegations] right away, and now we're getting beaten up for it," Miller said. "We thought the potential costs without going forward would be far greater than the costs of not investigating. That's what we're afraid of."
Councilman Randall Johnson said they have been getting many calls of support for the investigation.
Richardson said it was not their intent to make the allegations public, but she felt they had choice given the public voice to know more.
"How can that unsubstantiated information be helpful to those who support the mayor? How can that be helpful to his character, his legacy as a mayor," she emailed later. "We have been under attack for being silent. Do people really believe that it isn't more prudent, decent and frankly respectful, to allow the investigation to come to a conclusion of fact rather than speculation? I really believed it was the more appropriate path. But I am left asking myself, if even the mayor and his supporters don't want the benefit of a concluded, factual investigation, then who are we protecting?"
Told of the allegations, Bodker said it was hard to respond to general statements.
"But I know I don't get involved in police matters. I know that I have a great deal of respect for our staff and how great our team is. I even encouraged any member of our team to speak openly about any issue without fear of retribution," he said. "I don't believe any of these [allegations] are true."
Bodker said what disturbs him is the way the council seems to demand strict orthodoxy once they have taken a stance on an issue.
"Many of the actions taken by the council tell a different story to me," Bodker said. "I think they are not looking out for the best interests of the citizens. They could have handled this investigation that would not be so costly to the city.
"You can look at the way we have treated our neighbors which creates ill-will with neighboring governments. It's not about whether we're right, but how we conduct ourselves in the process."
He said council is potentially abridging free speech because council may not want to hear the message that comes with it.
"It inhibits discourse on issues. It's the antithesis of why we formed this city. In their world, you can't advocate. You get nailed for just raising the question," Bodker said.
