The Big Picture: Shock Treatment
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 NEXT
Yes but exactly why does the drowning of a Booker brought in from a different dimension who does not become com-stock remove com-stock? Wouldn't there be two Bookers present since they also went back in time to the same event in the one dimension. I mean the other Booker is still alive in the past, the one who becomes Com-Stock. I don't see how the Booker you are playing suddenly becomes the evil Com-stock just because you are brought back in time. If it is trying to tell me that event was somehow multidimensional then why would some Booker's survive the event at all and only the Com-stocks die.
It's also possible in some dimensions Booker just decided to be a better person and were not very interesting.
That was my though, although I really didn't like the choice they made in the end. I wouldn't have done that, IMO, the circle is already broken, it's just a matter of watching that it never happens again.
Also, did anyone else notice how interesting it was that Booker can use Bathyspheres, even though they're gene-coded to Ryan? Not like they're suggesting anything there, aye? ;P
I was worried after hearing about the religious controversy (and as a Christian, yeah, if this is what Ken Levine thinks Christianity is really like, he doesn't know any Christians that I do), but thankfully Comstock was just another cultist extremist lunatic. And the fact is, even if the game had been done from a purely Christian perspective, the point Levine makes holds true -- a man has to forgive himself, no matter if he seeks and/or gains forgiveness from someone else, he has to forgive himself, or none of that matters. And if he can't, he'll destroy himself utterly and entirely, one way or another. Plus considering Comstock seems to make it ideal for Booker to destroy Columbia, you could even argue that as self-destruction.
Thanks for the warning. I guess I'll have to see this one later.
Wait... so the argument here is that Bioshock Infinite was shallow... on purpose? Oh... great, I guess that makes everything better again. I'm not disappointed in BS:I, I actually just dislike BS:I. Here I was giving the benefit to a game I thought was trying to hit the high mark it's predecessor had set when really it was aiming for the low mark Halo had set and only gave the impression of aiming high for a trick shot.
I was being mean there, actually, because I still think that choices mattered, just not the ones you made. Dewitt's choice in the river mattered, your choice of necklaces didn't; Dewitt's choice in his apartment mattered, your choice of who to throw a baseball at didn't; Dewitt's final choice at the "lighthouse" mattered, your choice to kill or spare a crazy guy didn't. It was a little off-putting, actually, as if the game were trying to reinforce linearity. Not just in gameplay but in story.
In fact, I started to wonder why I (as the player of the game) was even there. Combat felt, partly because of it's mediocre nature but also because there was nothing else to break up the story, like a non-standard quick-time event. As in, I now have to get through this next section of button presses to get to the next part of the story and if I fail it'll just start me over again. The three "choices" I was given were just really slow quick-time events. The traveling between the shooting galleries was just an event that I had to get through to get to the story bits. You could say that about any game, but no other game spends so much time reinforcing the notion that what you're doing has no effect on what happens. That seems really opposite of what makes a game a "game".
So I agree with the small few that have said this: but this would've been better as a book or a movie... especially now that the idea of "shallow on purpose" has been introduced.
But that's the problem. The game embarrasses itself trying to be "balanced". It paints the rebels - the enslaved, disenfranchised, tortured and oppressed - as though they were no better than Comstock's racist status quo. Booker and Elizabeth both make comments that amount to drawing direct moral equivalences between the two. It's disingenuous, and it's blatant intellectual cowardice on display. Daisy Fitzroy's characterisation (what little there was) goes out the window entirely in tandem with this painfully forced objective stance the game demands the player to assume, and then she's fridged for the benefit of Elizabeth's character development.
BioShock: Infinite is a neoconfederate racist theme park which never attempts to address or take responsibility for the issues and imagery it invokes. Worse, it outright misrepresents them.
I am given to wonder how much slavery there actually is, and how many people came to the city like Booker did and were just put in a lower social class because of where they are from. Certainly a class segregation but I dont think outright enslavement.
And my memory might be failing me but I dont recall any scenes where the underclasses were actively tortured. The closest I can come is a black dude who beats up an irish dude to get a job they had been bidding on.
Too bad the gameplay was mediocre.
Wow, that's a cool pre-rendered animated scene. I've never seen it before. If only the game was like THAT. Come on guys, face it already. Bioshock Infinite isn't as good as you try to remember it to be. The story is just some joke of a Star Trek parody that somebody imagined during a marijuana ride or in a bar after a couple of beers. Unfortunately, that story drowned the guys in the design department and dumbed down the gameplay. Seeing that trailer again I realized just how much Columbia and Elizabeth disappointed me. Seeing Elizabeth at the end of a noose, instead of being an immortal coin dispenser... that could've been something.
Because obviously, all revolutions are civilized and include no war crimes at all, especially amongst a people harboring a ton of resentment towards the people they are overthrowing.
Maybe in their original incarnation they weren't bad, but by the time Elizabeth is done mucking around with the universe, the new vox is a heavily armed, incredibly pissed off mob hungry for about 20 years worth of revenge. No, I can't see how this could possibly end badly.
I just finished Bioshock Infinite (like less than an hour ago), and I might've missed it, but where was this commentary on the nature of video game sequels?
Oh and thanks for your explanation of the ending, I didn't get that he became Comstock after the baptism and I was still utterly confused as to how the hell he was fighting himself.
Also what did he do at the battle of Wounded Knee?
Short version: Wounded knee is one of the most shameful chapters in US history involving the US army killing nearly 300 people, many of them unarmed. While exactly what Brooker did is never explicitly mentioned, it can be assumed his part in it probably messed him up somewhat.
Thank you.
You didn't understand the ending right.
There was a Comstock Voxophone which claimed that his commander mentioned that he had indianer blood in him, which made the whole company dislike him and so he tried to prove himself
You might want to replay the ending. There is a bug which makes the credits role, right after you walk through the last door. They shouldn't however. It gets explained by elizabeth that you became comstock. Just replay the last chapter, i got the right ending then.
I think maybe player Booker might have not become an emotionally crippled alcoholic with dangerous amounts of gambling debt if his wife, presumably a woman he loved, hadn't, you know, died in childbirth. In my mind, that was probably the straw that broke the camel's back. He might have been able to work through his guilt and forgive himself if he had any kind of support system.
Why did he become past Booker?
Bob....you DO realize that the Booker we see in the Stinger on the office is NOT the same Booker we play as, right?
The new timeline resets everything to the moment where Booker is STILL in debt and an alcoholic mass murderer. He doesn't have the character development he has when we play as him and reach the ending now. Meaning that he STILL can sell his own daughter, get to the baptism and become Comstock or just Booker.
The new timeline however, ensures that, as soon he becomes Comstock, the Elizabeths will appear and drown him ASAP. Because this mere act of BEING Comstock means that Columbia will be made, Elizabeth will be bought from another Booker, the entirety of Bioshock Infinite will happen, and Elizabeth will become omnipotent and drown the version of Booker that WANTS to be baptized and become Comstock. But the timelines with Booker rejecting baptism will remain intact.
Too bad that Booker is still and asshole. And even if he wasn't, where he will try to escape with the daughter and the debt?
Always good to get this sort of thing summed up and explained, since Bioshock Infinite hits you out of nowhere so fast that it's hard to take it all in, or even believe what we just saw.
I like what I got out of this video though. The entire Mass Effect trilogy did the same thing as this, make itself out to be this giant, save-the-universe affair, when all along it's actually all about Shepherd and his own personal battle against the reapers. Well, that's if you believe in the Indoctrination Theory that is, which I do because it doesn't blow up the universe and makes sense.
The thing is there is a _second_ ending at the end to the credits which hints that none of it mattered.
Of course the whole Elizabeth drowns Booker thing is effectively Grandfather's paradox in mile high letters. Never mind it is not exactly clear why you wind up in Rapture.
Moviebob, you it it right on the head with why I like this game so much. Bioshock 1 took narrative structure and turned it on its head: Bioshock Infinite took what Bioshock 1 did and turned it on its own head. I also like what they did with Elizabeth: her story was very much a coming of age one, as she realizes who and what Booker is and grows up to help him grow out of his problems. It becomes very much a symbiotic relationship between the two.
I thought because there can only be one Broker.
So they merged because of plot and still would have become Com-Stock because of plot.
Bob! WHY?! I can't watch your video; I haven't played the game yet!
I always find it surprising that people have problems how the Vox are portrayed.
3) Daisy Fitzroy was never the point to begin with - the point was to show the results of Elizabeth mucking around with space-time and jumping through tears as any easy way to get what she wants.
I played the game. I thought the end was ok. I just wanted Elizabeth to see Paris.
I don't remember any massacres of the British after we gained our independence from them.
Of course killing him at the point of the baptism has it's own flaws. It means that Booker goes on to have Anna while becoming a depressed alcoholic father potentially willing to give his child away to solve his problems. This new beginning starts with all the flaws that led to these problems initially since he's never had a chance to grow or change as a person.
The odds of Anna or Booker living a 'normal' life in this 'happy' ending are remote.
Why does it have to be against the British? After all, in Bioshock Infinite, Daisy Fitzroy attacks Booker, who was trying to help them. Also mentioned in the game is Wounded Knee, where Americans turned into a bloodthirsty gang.
How about the years of slavery, lynchings and oppression that followed the American Revolution? Or the internment of Japanese civilians during WWII? Or the Vietnam war and the horrific actions committed there by American troops? Or the current killings of hundreds of innocent civilians and children by Americans in retribution for 9/11?
Just this week, I have seen comments on message boards about how due process should be suspended, and that we should basically just lynch or torture anybody suspected of the bombings in Boston. A bloodthirsty mob, indeed.
Since you mention the British, isn't it also interesting that America still practices the death penalty, while England and most other civilized countries have banned this as an abhorrent practice? I'm not saying that the American Revolution shouldn't have happened - but to pretend that Americans haven't acted in bloodthirsty ways since then is just ignoring reality. America became a world "superpower" - just like England was at the time, only then it was called "Empire." America has simply taken the role that the British Empire had.
EDIT: Just to make it perfectly clear, have you not noticed that the Bioshock series is all about ideologies (of all stripes) gone horribly wrong? And Bioshock Infinite is specifically refers to the ideals of the American Revolution gone horribly wrong. I really don't understand how somebody could play the game and not pick up on that theme.
In any case, the point of my reply was that I was replying to someone who was only mentioning "Communist" atrocities, while there are just as many examples from the other end of the political spectrum, including some rather notable examples from the 20th Century (which I hardly need mention).
Everybody thinks they are a freedom fighter, or on the side of "good" - but what consequences does the fight for your idea of "freedom" have?
Totally agree, they are dealing with multiple realities/universes and the best solution he found was suicide :S
Captcha: Change the world... really !!!
I'm impressed. B:I is the It game of the moment, which means amongst gaming circles, it is generally untouchable. I can appreciate that this is a commentary coming from a place of admiration that still acknowledges the flaw-that-works-for-some-people.
That said, I don't think it was dog-dog-dog-dog-ELEPHANT. It was dog-dog-dog-otter-otter-otter-ELEPHANT. The first half and the second half of the game are an incredible disconnect with each other. The problem is not that the game was always about one thing and then became about something else right at the end, it's that it was one thing, became a second thing, and then did a backwards somersault flip into a third thing that only sorta tied the first two together.
The game starts out very Bioshock 1 like. It seems to be about Columbia, about political narrative. About extremism and ideologies. Then, after the first reality shift, the game stops being about that. Elizabeth stops really noticing the world around her, Booker doesn't really comment but to say the obvious cynical stuff, and the game instead focuses on Booker and Elizabeth as characters and their relationship together. I don't think the big thematically important message we learn about Booker justifies the game's lack of continuity. It weakens it significantly.
THEN it becomes about the whole billions of lighthouses, baptism, Comstock-is-Booker thing.
That's my issue. It strikes me that this game had the same issue Pixar's Brave did: it wanted to be one thing, it became another, so when it tried to be both, it could only half-succeed, despite doing these disparate things very well.
Got it, America's only country or group of people with blood on it's hand.
America = BAD Everyone else = GOOD
Technically speaking wouldn't that still allow him the chance to make a monstrously horrible decision that would lead to him needing some form of self-destruction? I'm not saying that all universes would act like that, but killing him is a definite solution, while only stopping him at wounded knee opens many variables that could still lead the whole story back on the same track.
What the hell? When did I ever say that. I specifically pointed out that it applies to pretty much everybody. I don't know how you managed to get that interpretation from my post. I mean, who do you think I was referring to with my "notable examples from the 20th Century"? Hint: they were involved in perhaps the most famous war of all time.
Or do you really believe that America is totally innocent and free of the excesses that come with ideology?
Huh. Never thought about it like that MovieBob, that's actually quite interesting. I doesn't change my opinion that the game was overall decent at best, but it's something to think on.
I find it curious that in a game where you can fly around on sky rails, shoot crows from your hands, and there is an entire floating city, that when it's revealed that Booker sells his child because of gambling debts(though the male twin makes it sound more like spiritual debt), that's when I throw up my hands and yell "Bullshit! That wouldn't happen!" That's one thing among all that other fantastical nonsense that I could not accept.
Then again, perhaps the reason the ending didn't jive with me is because I generally do not like time travel/interdimensional plot devices in my stories.
I would never be able to get into comic books. >.<

My LO is 4.5 months old. She is EBF, has never taken a bottle and is very attached to me. She even cries 50-75% of the time if my DH holds her.
We have to take a trip to my Mom's next month, it's a 4-5 hour trip. My LO only eats in the side lying position, which is a bit problematic for the ride but we tested her out today and she fed well on a hike in the woods (fed lying on a blanket with me under a tree). Anyway, I was looking for support from my family, probably a mistake. My Mom told me that maybe I should give her some formula to get her to take a bottle and hinted that all of her issues (doesn't sleep well without me, wants to be only with me, needs to be nursed back to sleep 10+ times a night, refuses bottles and pacifiers) were pretty much my fault because I stay home with her all day and feed her on cue! Instead of saying, wow, that must be tough but you are doing a great job. I'm thinking that it must be pretty typical for an EBF baby to be very attached to the mama, right? This is my 2nd baby, first time nursing.
I was feeling pretty bad, but then I decided to stop comparing my baby to everyone else's and was thinking that maybe she just has a strong sense of attachment to me because she wants to survive! "Wild" babies were probably more likely to make it if they were really attached to Mom, right? That's what the scientist in me says anyway. Just hoping for some support from other mamas who had babies that never took a bottle...not even once?

MARYSVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A 911 dispatcher in California was startled when a caller turned out to be her fiancee reporting their infant son was choking.
Dispatcher Britney Melchor told KCRA-TV (http://bit.ly/1mOzbfP) in a story Wednesday that she was training another dispatcher who took the call and wrote down the home address.
Melchor realized it was her own son who needed medical attention.
Melchor says she initially panicked. But then her training took hold, and she dispatched paramedics to her home.
Her 14-month-old son, Maverick, had swallowed a metal washer, starting the May 27 ordeal. The boy's father, Robert Kimball, was able to dislodge the washer just as help arrived.
Melchor is a dispatcher in Marysville, a small city about 40 miles north of Sacramento.

Congress established special tax credits for small businesses long before billionaire Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett wanted to pay more income tax.
Continue Reading Below
A tax credit is generally much more valuable than a tax deduction of the same amount. A tax credit decreases the tax paid dollar for dollar, while a deduction lowers the taxable income and applies dollar for dollar against the tax.
Here are some commonly-overlooked credits even your professional tax preparer may not know about:
1) The small employer pension plan credit is a whopping 50% credit for the cost of establishing a pension plan or educating employees about the plan. The credit may be taken up to three consecutive years, but is limited to $500 each year.
2) The fuel tax credit allows a credit for federal highway tax paid for fuel used off-highway in a business. Purchases like pumps, generators, compressors, tractors, trucks used in lots, landscapers, helicopters, crop-dusting could be eligible, and at over 18 cents per gallon, this can be a huge credit.
3) One of my personal favorites is the 10% rehabilitation credit. We use this credit in our office every year, and I've personally used it twice. If you are renovating any building built before 1936 and spend at least $5,000, you may qualify for this credit of 10% of the renovation costs.
4) The agricultural chemicals security credit is an obscure credit, but is a 30% credit of the cost of securing various chemicals that could be used for terroristic purposes. Things like training, security cameras and the buildings themselves may qualify for the credit.
5) The Work Opportunity Credit has been extended for veterans, and can amount to several thousand dollars of credit for each veteran hired.
6) The business energy credit provides credits of up to 30% of the cost of installing solar, wind or geothermal systems in even the smallest business. There is no dollar limit on this credit and we see many states offering an equivalent state credit, and many utilities offering subsidies for their cost. Check this site out for a listing of energy benefits.
7) The employer provided child care credit provides up to a 35% credit of up to $150,000 annually for the cost of setting up and/or operating an employee child care facility. This even includes the cost of buying a building.
8) The disabled access credit is a 50% credit for extreme small businesses that spend money to provide disabled access. Think of things like wheelchair ramps, assist bars in restrooms, interpreters, sign-language, closed captioning and more.
Sadly, the small business health care credit established to motivate small businesses to setup health insurance programs for employees has proven so difficult to calculate that we see very few users of this credit. With 20-30 steps required to accumulate and calculate the credit we find for most of our small business clients that the cost of calculating the credit exceeds the credit.

Mr Tustin is still in two minds about whether he may have captured the first conclusive photographic evidence of a moose in Fiordland in more than 50 years, despite many people contacting him to say they believed he had snapped "the money shot".A Blogger Ethics Panel should be convened to discuss this breach of privacy.
Ken Tustin "has been searching for the elusive animal for nearly four decades".
The photo was one of about 5000 snapped by 13 motion-sensor digital cameras with infrared flash, which have been set up for the past 18 months on animal trails near Herrick Creek and Henry Burn, near Dusky Sound.I see no resemblance myself.[...]The last confirmed sighting of a Fiordland moose was by Robin Francis Smith, who photographed a moose cow at Herrick Creek in 1952.

This 13-bit to 26-bit registered buffer is designed for 2.3-V to 2.7-V VCC operation.
All inputs are SSTL_2, except the LVCMOS reset (RESET)\ input. All outputs are SSTL_2, Class II compatible.
The SN74SSTV16859 operates from a differential clock (CLK and CLK\). Data are registered at the crossing of CLK going high and CLK\ going low.
The device supports low-power standby operation. When RESET\ is low, the differential input receivers are disabled, and undriven (floating) data, clock, and reference voltage (VREF) inputs are allowed. In addition, when RESET\ is low, all registers are reset and all outputs are forced low. The LVCMOS RESET\ input always must be held at a valid logic high or low level.
To ensure defined outputs from the register before a stable clock has been supplied, RESET\ must be held in the low state during power up.

Axl Rose Falls Off Stage at Guns N' Roses Show
Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses was captured on a fan-shot video falling off stage briefly during the band's Mexico City concert this week. The incident happened as he was performing 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door,' and we're here to say that he handled the slip like a true pro.
OK, it's easy to laugh, as many in the crowd did. But from even our limited knowledge of stage setups, we know that the dimensions of various venues across the world means musicians don't know exactly what their performing space is going to look like every night. Add to that about a thousand lights and flashing cameras in your face, plus cables everywhere, and even a gymnast would fall from time to time up there.
Plus… did anybody notice the important thing, that the new Guns N' Roses seem to be having quite a nice little musical moment up there? The minute long clip finds them in the quiet breakdown segment of 'Door,' and it's sounding pretty good to us. It's clearly GNR, but the guitarist (which one, we can't tell) isn't slavishly copying Izzy or Slash. Maybe we should all be looking forward to their upcoming U.S. tour a bit more, huh?
For his part, Axl takes the stage fall in stride, barely missing any of his vocal lines, waving off bandmate and road crew offers of help, and dryly noting — if we're hearing him correctly — "I'm so slighted" in response to the laughter of some fans. The crowd proves their good nature by giving Rose a big cheer as he returns to his feet and starts prowling the stage again.

| PHOTOS: Mayor's Tuesday press conference
With a crippling strike at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles entering its second week, a federal mediator arrived Tuesday night in hopes of brokering a deal acceptable to both sides.
The presence of director George H. Cohen of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service signaled a new stage in the talks, which stalled Tuesday morning after both sides talked throughout the night but could not reach a resolution.
Representatives from both sides said Cohen would help management and union officials focus on the key issues in reaching a deal to reopen all terminals at both ports – by far the largest and most important port complex in the United States. Even before Cohen arrived, sources participating in the negotiations said talks became more intense Tuesday evening in anticipation of his arrival.
Workers in the 800-member International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63 Office Clerical Unit, many of whom have been under terms of a contract that expired in June 2010, have been on strike since the middle of last week.
It began on Nov. 27 at APM Terminals Pacific Ltd., the largest operator at both ports, and broadened the next day, eventually shutting down three of six terminals at the Port of Long Beach and seven of eight at the Port of Los Angeles once thousands of other longshore workers – many of whom have no direct connection to the Office Clerical Unit – refused to cross picket lines.
Sources involved in the talks say the negotiations, which did not begin until Thursday, have at times been frustrating, with both sides sometimes believing they had made progress only to see it disappear as the talks continued. Union and management representatives have quietly accused each other of being unprepared to engage in serious talks, at least until marathon talks began Monday night.
Since the strike began, union officials have said the next set of contracts must prohibit terminal operators from outsourcing clerical jobs to lower paid employees in other countries and states, a process they say has already begun. Clerical unit workers handle a range of back office duties for terminal operators at both ports.
In response, management officials have said they are not sending jobs elsewhere, and that new contracts must allow them the flexibility to hire workers only when they're needed. They say they're sometimes forced to fill jobs that do not need to exist.
Office Clerical Unit negotiators had resisted management calls for a mediator for several days, saying a resolution would be better worked out through informal talks. Union officials were concerned a mediator would force them to make too many concessions unpalatable to their members, sources said.
But they acquiesced Tuesday morning after Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa failed to help the sides reach a deal during negotiations that lasted all night. In the hopes of resolving the strike, Villaraigosa arrived at the talks at around midnight, coming directly from the airport following a nine-day trade mission to South America funded in part by the Port of Los Angeles.
"They need a third-party intervention," Villaraigosa said Tuesday from outside Banning's Landing Community Center in Wilmington, where talks had been taking place.
Acknowledging the union had not wanted a mediator for several days, ILWU spokesman Craig Merrilees said union officials are optimistic a deal can be reached with the help of Cohen and Deputy Director Scot L. Beckenbaugh. A spokesman for the Los Angeles Long Beach Harbor Employers Association said management officials were also pleased with Tuesday's developments and hoped the mediator could help the sides reach a deal.
"The union didn't think it was necessary," the ILWU's Merrilees said. "The union always feels it's best to deal directly. But if the federal mediator helps get the deal done that protects working families, communities and our country, then it's worth a shot."
Villaraigosa, a former high-ranking union official, has a background in labor-management negotiations. But he said the sides were too far apart to reach an agreement in the overnight hours. He said a trained mediator likely will have a better chance at forging an agreement.
"I don't have a magic wand," he said. "I can't dictate to management or labor what their bottom line is."
Business groups continue to call on President Barack Obama to wade into the negotiations, perhaps by invoking his powers under the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act governing labor-management relations. As President George W. Bush did in 2002 during a 10-day lockout at ports along the West Coast, Obama could ask a federal judge to issue an order requiring an 80-day cooling off period for both sides.
But Villaraigosa called that scenario unlikely on Tuesday, saying the 2002 action was different because it affected all the ports along the West Coast, rather than just one port complex. He noted that the Taft-Hartley mechanism requires the president to invoke a national emergency in order to move forward.
Both ports remained relatively quiet on Tuesday, with a handful of strikers at each affected terminal maintaining picket lines.
At the Port of Los Angeles – the largest port in the United States by container volume – 10 ships have been sitting dockside, untouched, since last week, while 20 ships scheduled to arrive recently have diverted, spokesman Phillip Sanfield said.
At least 11 ships have gone to the Port of Oakland, while at least five have gone to ports in Mexico, he said. While ships have docked elsewhere, many of the containers scheduled to come to Southern California are simply waiting on ships and at other ports until the strike ends, port officials say. Eventually, the containers will return to the Los Angeles area.
Combined, the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach account for more than 1 million direct and indirect jobs in the region, and move 40 percent of all containerized trade nationwide, according to port officials. More than $400 billion worth of goods flow through the ports annually, which support nearly 3 million jobs in a vast supply chain across the country.
Economists have estimated the strike is costing the Southern California economy a little more than $1 billion a day, but some have called that figure misleading, saying many of the nonperishable goods stuck on containers will eventually reach markets throughout the West, and noting that the four remaining open terminals continue to process cargo.

JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Bank of America Corp. won a delay of Dodd-Frank Act requirements that they wall off some derivatives trades from bank units backed by federal deposit insurance.
Commercial banks including the Wall Street firms may get as long as an additional two years -- until July 2015 -- to comply with the rules, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said in a notice today. The push-out provision was included in Dodd-Frank, the 2010 financial-regulation law, as a way to limit taxpayer support for risky derivatives trades.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission and other regulators need to complete swap rules to allow "federal depository institutions to make well-informed determinations concerning business restructurings that may be necessary," the OCC said in the notice. Dodd-Frank requires that equity, some commodity and non-cleared credit derivatives be moved into separate affiliates without federal assistance.
In February, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee approved with bipartisan support legislation that would let banks keep commodity and equity derivatives in federally insured units by removing part of the push-out rule. Regulators including Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke had opposed the provision when it was included in Dodd-Frank, saying it would drive derivatives to less-regulated entities.
The OCC is prepared to "consider favorably" requests for transition, the regulator said in the six-page notice. The agency said delays could be extended for a third year based on consultations with other regulators.
OCC Report
JPMorgan had 99 percent of its $72 trillion in notional swaps trades in its commercial bank in the third quarter of 2012, according to the OCC's quarterly derivatives report. Bank of America had 68 percent of its $64 trillion in its commercial bank, according to the report.
Banks including Citigroup Inc. will be given as long as two years beyond the July 16 deadline to move their swaps businesses, the OCC said. They must submit written requests describing how a transition period would reduce harmful effects on mortgage lending, job creation and capital formation. The requests, which must be submitted by Jan. 31, also must weigh how the transition period would affect insured depositors.
"The procrastination of both regulators and the banks on this portion of Dodd-Frank has been pretty amazing," Marcus Stanley, policy director for Americans for Financial Reform, a coalition including the AFL-CIO labor federation, said in a telephone interview. "The swaps-pushout provision is a really important part and something that absolutely should be a central part of the regulatory framework."

Mental Health Challenges
Psychological factors related to falls are clear throughout the literature but it remains unclear whether the chicken (fall) or the egg (mental health disorder) came first. Does the fall cause depression, anxiety or other mental disorder? Or is the mental disorder with accompanying symptoms such as slowed movement, lack of concentration or impaired or unsteady gait and balance associated with a number of mental health disorders to blame? Regardless, falls represent a significant threat to the health, wellbeing and independence of older adults. As health care and social service professionals, we need to understand and address the interrelated risks through targeted screening that include primarily physical, psychological and environmental factors.
According to researchers,mental health disorders (e.g.,depression, fear of falling) often associated with falls are potentially more debilitating than sustaining an actual fall. Several studies indicate depression anddepression symptoms linked to falling or the fear of falling, including anxiety, loss of confidence (self-efficacy) in mobility can result in an older adult restricting activity levels to avoid falling for the first time. Reduced activity levels often lead to deconditioning, diminished health and function, and potentially may lead to compromising independence. Although mental health disorders are not part of natural aging, recent National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) studies report that 13 to 27 percent of older adults have subclinical depression (symptoms do not meet the criteria for major depression) associated with "increased risk of major depression, physical disability, medical illness, and high use of health services."
Addressing Mental Health Disorders and Fall Risks - Health care and social service professionals understand that mental health disorders in older adults are sometimes not recognized or symptoms are not reported to care providers. As health care and social service professionals, we understand that growing older may expose older adults to a variety of psychosocial challenges. Chronic illness, death or loss of significant others, overwhelming caregiving responsibilities, social isolation or lack of social support, and loss of independence are some of life's challenges that may trigger mental health disorders in older adults.
Targeted Screening - With the focus of this month's Gero Gems on encouraging health care and social service professionals to assess and address mental health,we emphasize the importance of conducting targeted screening. A variety of effective screening tools are available to assess depression, anxiety, and fear of falling. The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (30 questions) is a valid and reliable tool for use in community dwelling older adults and a short form of the GDS is available (15 questions) free,online that may be administered in less than ten minutes. To test for anxiety, there are several tools available including the Short Anxiety Screening Test (SAST), a brief questionnaire (10 questions) that can be used as an interview, self-report or be administered in less than ten minutes.
Although aging is not a risk for developing mental health problems, some older adults develop mental health disorders that may lead to increased risk for falls. Mental health promotion through screening and referral for treatment, as needed, can be a significant fall risk reduction effort for all who work with older adults.

Paris, 01 Jun 2004
Since its launch in October 2001, ESA's Proba micro-satellite has been returning remarkable imagery of some of our planet's major landmarks with a compact instrument called the High Resolution Camera.
On display here are some notable examples, ranging from the monolithic Uluru or Ayers Rock in the Australian Outback to the tidal island of Mont St. Michel on the northern coast of France, and the Pyramids on Egypt's Giza Plain.
Measuring just 80 x 60 x 60 cm, Proba is the size and shape of a small washing machine. It orbits 600 km above the Earth's surface.
Its main payload is the Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS), a compact hyperspectral imager that returns detailed data on the Earth's environment, seeing down to a resolution of 18 metres.
Also aboard is the compact High-Resolution Camera (HRC), which acquires black and white 25-km square images to a resolution of five metres.
Proba was originally created as a technology demonstration mission, and has a high degree of onboard autonomy.
Operators on the ground send up the raw inputs of a target to be imaged – latitude, longitude, and altitude – and Proba itself does the rest.
Proba keeps track of its orbital position with a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver.
This works on the same basic principle as GPS navigation systems in wide use down on our planet's surface.
However because Proba is travelling at a very high velocity in relation to the GPS satellite constellation the receiver has been designed to cope with much higher rates of Doppler shifting as well as the constant changing of the individual GPS satellites being tracked.
To image a target on the ground, Proba must be correctly lined up with it. To precisely determine its attitude (or pointing direction) in space, the satellite supplements GPS with an onboard star tracker system called the Advanced Stellar Compass (ASC).
The ASC compares observed luminous objects to a star catalogue database containing thousands of stars in order to accurately calculate its orientation in relation to its desired target.
Proba then adjusts its position to line itself up with its ground target by use of reaction wheels capable of a high level of precision control: increasing the rate a wheel spins causes the spacecraft to rotate in the opposite direction, then braking by the same amount cancels out this rotation.
During the actual imaging procedure Proba employs its reaction wheels to compensate for natural orbital movement and keep itself 'staring' at its target.
About Proba
Proba (Project for On Board Autonomy) is an ESA micro-satellite built by an industrial consortium led by the Belgian company Verhaert, launched from India on 22 October 2001, and operated from ESA's Redu Ground Station in Belgium.
Proba was designed to be a one-year technology demonstration mission of the Agency but has since had its lifetime extended as an Earth Observation mission.
It now routinely provides scientists with detailed environmental images thanks to CHRIS, developed by UK-based Sira Electro-Optics Ltd - one of the main payloads on the 100 kg spacecraft.
Also aboard is the HRC, a small-scale monochromatic camera made up of a miniature Cassegrain telescope and a 1024 x 1024 pixel Charge-Coupled Device (CCD), as used in ordinary digital cameras.
Proba boasts an 'intelligent' payload and has the ability to observe the same spot on Earth from a number of different angles and different combinations of optical and infra-red spectral bands.
A follow-on mission, Proba-2, is due to be deployed by ESA around 2005.

Screenshots of Office 12 have been published. You'll be amazed (for better or worse, your call). "As you can see, Microsoft is trying to do away with the 'legacy' menu bar. In newer Vista builds the menu bar is turned off by default (although it can be reactivated temporarily by pressing alt). In Office 12, the menus have been replaced with tab-like buttons. The only 'legacy' menu item that remains is the file menu, but it has completely been redesigned. The file menu now looks like the Windows XP start menu and can be customized as well." You can find more information and shots on Microsoft's website.

Malaga confirm reported Manchester City target Manuel Pellegrini can leave this summer
Malaga have confirmed Manuel Pellegrini - favourite for the Manchester City job -can leave this summer.
Last Updated: 16/05/13 9:22am
The Chilean is Sky Bet's odds-on favourite to fill the vacancy at the Etihad left by Monday's sacking of Roberto Mancini.
And Malaga will not stand in the way if Pellegrini asks to leave at the end of the current Spanish season - two years before the end of his contract.
Pellegrini, 59, managed Real Madrid for a season before taking over at Malaga in 2010 - helping the club qualify for the UEFA Champions League and reaching the quarter-finals of this year's competition before being ousted by finalists Borussia Dortmund.
With the City position available and Chelsea set to say goodbye to interim boss Rafa Benitez at the end of the season, Pellegrini had reportedly been sounded out by the Blues in April but is now widely expected to take the reins of the 2011/12 Premier League champions.
After Pellegrini was leap-frogged in the betting for the Chelsea job by Antonio Conte of Juventus, Jose Mourinho has been cemented as favourite to return to Stamford Bridge - although the Real boss also remains in the frame for the City post.
Mancini was axed by City on Monday shortly after their FA Cup final defeat to Wigan, with their failure to defend the Premier League title and inability to make progress in the Champions League also contributing to his downfall.

Yvonne is a designer, a seamstress, a tailor, a consultant, a small-time gambler and, above all, a friend to all of us. Most days, Metcalfe can be found sitting in front of her Singer sewing machine.

Some years ago the main-line Christian denominations were taken over by leftists; the process is even more far gone in Europe than in America. Hence this utterly bizarre news story: "Two Top Bishops Last Night Warned Tony Blair Must Answer to God for Toppling Saddam Hussein". Yes, that's right. God was in Saddam's corner all the way:
"The Bishop of Durham and the Archbishop of York blasted the war in newspaper interviews. In an astonishing grab for the moral high ground, they admitted Saddam was wicked but claimed the allies were not the right people to oust him.
