"GADPTRA" – Now there's an acronym you don't see very often on this blog. It stands for the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1988, Pub. Law No. 98-417, 98 Stat. 1585 (1988), which is the Hatch-Waxman equivalent for generic animal drugs. Our only specific reference to GADPTRA in the 6+ years we have been blogging was in a June 2011 post concerning the extension of a 30-month litigation stay of approval of an Abbreviated New Animal Drug Application ("ANADA") submitted by Norbrook Labs. for a generic version of Bayer's Baytril® 100 (enrofloxacin) Injectable Solution. Baytril® 100, a fluroquinolone, is covered under New Animal Drug Application ("NADA") No. 141-068 and is listed in the Green Book (the animal drug equivalent of the Orange Book) with U.S. Patent No. 5,756,506 ("the '506 patent"), which expires on June 27, 2015. The '506 patent covers methods of treating bacterial infections by the administration of a single high dose of the drug. FDA initially approved Baytril® 100 on July 24, 1998 for the treatment of Bovine Respiratory Disease ("BRD") associated with Pasteurella haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Haemophilus somnus. Subsequent supplemental NADA approvals have added conditions of use of the product. Importantly, Baytril® 100 is approved for two different dosing regimens: (1) Single-Dose Therapy (7.5 to 12.5 mg/kg of body weight (3.4 to 5.7 mL/100 lb)); and (2) Multiple-Day Therapy (2.5 to 5.0 mg/kg of body weight (1.1 to 2.3 mL/100 lb)).
Why so much detail about our prior post on Baytril® 100 and GADPRTA? Because it just so happens that Bayer sued FDA last week in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the Agency approved Norbrook's ANADA No. 200-495 for a generic version of Baytril® 100 called Enroflox™ 100. Bayer alleges in its Complaint that FDA violated the Administrative Procedure Act ("APA") and the FDC Act, as amended by GADPTRA, when the Agency approved Norbrook's ANADA No. 200-495. Bayer also filed a motion seeking a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction. Bayer asks the court to enter judgment declaring, among other things, that FDA's approval of ANADA No. 200-495 violates the APA and FDC Act § 512(c)(2)(A)(ii) and that FDA constructively denied a 2006 Bayer Citizen Pettion (more on that below) in violation of the APA. Bayer asks the court to enter judgment vacating the ANADA approval and enjoining FDA from aproving any ANADA for a generic version of Baytril® 100 not indicated for Single-Dose Therapy of BRD.
Bayer asks FDA in the company's 2006 petition to refain from approving ANADAs for generic Baytril® 100 for Multiple-Day Therapy with labeling that omits information on Single-Dose Therapy protected by the '506 patent. According to Bayer, any generic approved for Multiple-Day Therapy only will be promoted and used extralabel for the protected Single-Dose Therapy, which would directly conflict with express provisions of the GADPTRA and FDA regulations and undermine the incentives for discovery and innovation that GADPTRA and patent laws were intended to protect.
The GADPTRA amended the FDC Act to state, at Section 512(c)(2)(A)(ii), that FDA will approve an ANADA unless, among other things, the Agency finds that "the conditions of use prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the proposed labeling are not reasonably certain to be followed in practice . . . ." FDA's regulations prohibit the extralabel use of fluoroquinolones in food-producing animals (21 C.F.R. § 530.41(a)(10)), and, in particular, extralabel use of enrofloxacin in food-producing animals (21 C.F.R. §522.812(d)(2)(iii)). In addition, FDA published an advisory in September 1998 notifying industry about the prohibition against extralabel use of enrofloxacin (see here). According to Bayer, "[i]t is reasonable to conclude that any generic approved for the [Multiple-Day Therapy] dosing regimen would likely be used as a [Single-Dose Therapy]." As such, says Bayer, approving generic Baytril® 100 for Multiple-Day Therapy only would conflict with the statute.
Last Friday, the D.C. District Court (Judge Rosemary M. Collyer) issued an Order granting in part and denying in part Bayer's motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and suspended the approval of Norbrook's ANADA No. 200-495. According to press reports, Judge Collyer "blasted the FDA for failing to provide any evidence to the court that it considered Bayer's allegations that Norbrook's Enroflox 100 would unavoidably infringe on its Baytril patent" before approving the ANADA. A hearing on Bayer's Motion for a Preliminary Injunction is scheduled for April 25, 2013 at 1:30 PM.


Is your company ready for "standing boardrooms" and "rage meeting rooms"?
Appointing an interior designer to create your commercial office space could deliver more than someone to help you choose the right paint colour: partnering with an experienced professional will mean that you create an efficient, healthy working environment that will stimulate the maximum productivity, while keeping your working teams happy.
"The basis for this is that the way that people work is changing throughout the world," says Kirstin Cavanagh, project architect at Paragon Interface, a commercial interior architecture practice in Johannesburg.
Cavanagh and Claire Fox Key, a partner at Phase Two Interior Design Studio, say that many of their clients cite Google's renowned offices as a blueprint for their own office design. "The most important starting point in creating a commercial interior design is to understand your company culture and the face you want to present to your clients," says Key.
Simply put, not every company is a Google, but every company needs to provide workspaces that encourage productivity in a positive way that aligns with their culture. Key describes a technology developer client who specified standing boardrooms — meetings rooms with no chairs, where meetings are limited to a maximum of 30 productive minutes, after which everyone leaves with a specific plan of action. Nobody gets too comfortable (so nobody falls asleep!) and everyone is alert enough to be focused on setting a goal before they leave.
Cavanagh describes a "rage meeting room", complete with boxing bags hanging from the ceiling and pairs of gloves along the wall, where teams are encouraged to take out their frustrations and brainstorm ideas in a more physical way. Interior design is about so much more than choosing furniture too — it's often about choosing not to have furniture (or walls), and it's about observing and anticipating natural traffic flows and making it easy for people to work around them. "Sometimes it's as simple as making sure that people who need to print a lot are located near to the shared printer," says Key.
"No matter how beautiful a space, if it's impractical or cumbersome for people to work in, they're going to hate it and in turn be unproductive." It's often the most unexpected design elements that cause conflict in a space, which makes it essential to gain buy-in from everyone affected by a change in environment, says Cavanagh.
The other angle of the Aircon Wars is that there are workers who prefer natural ventilation, while there are others who prefer the regulated temperature offered by air conditioning. "SANS 204, the building regulations that govern energy efficiency, favour natural ventilation too, so while commercial buildings abroad will have sealed windows and nobody will bat an eyelid, in South Africa we are encouraged — both by regulation and preference — to have opening windows. These in turn have to be balanced with safety concerns," Key adds. While energy efficiency guidelines are certainly encouraging architects to allow for more natural light in commercial spaces, interior designers have changed the way that natural light is shared among workers, and with good reason.
"We did an experiment with a law firm that had meeting rooms facing outdoors, benefiting from natural light, as well as meeting rooms that had no windows, being illuminated only with artificial light," says Key. "The meeting rooms that enjoyed natural light were far more popular among the attorneys. We take that learning into the work that we do, and prioritise positions along windows for open plan desk space to encourage productivity, while we position boardrooms towards the interior, using glass partitioning to still give them access to natural light.
When it comes to colour, there are no fixed rules, according to both professionals, but there are certainly guidelines. "Different people have different preferences for work environments, and the colours of each space should be considered according to the activities to take place there," says Cavanagh.
"For example, a quiet room or a focus space could have more muted, calmer tones to encourage concentration, whereas a brainstorm area can be bright and colourful to stimulate creative thinking and discussion." Key adds that she prefers to work in muted, neutral tones, reserving bright colours for corporate branding or contrasting accents. She breaks this convention, however, in designing corporate canteen spaces, emphasising that these are created specifically to be a visual and emotional break from the regular working environment.
This sensory break is encouraged in working environments that have policies forbidding eating at desks; not only does this protect electronic equipment, it forces people to take some time away from their desks to pause and refresh. When it comes to noise in the working environment, Key again highlights the importance of understanding how teams work together, to place them logically and efficiently. "It makes no sense to place a call centre or sales team near creatives," she says.
Other interventions to reduce noise pollution include installing white noise or simply planning furniture design to separate teams. Separating teams with pause areas furnished with sound-absorbing soft furnishings is effective, while upholstered wall panels also reduce noise. Acoustic ceilings, designed to absorb noise rather than reflect it, are also effective, and can be painted to complement the rest of the interior design scheme.
Key says that while there are many detractors of open place space design, including those who cite noise as a negative, this economic approach allows for flexibility and growth in the future. Citing a client who grew from 16 people to 100 employees in three years, she emphasises that an efficient interior design scheme will make it possible, within reason, for you to adapt your space to your company's changing needs over time, without having to dramatically renovate your space too often, at considerable expense.
"Apart from designing your space to encourage productivity among your staff, working with an experienced interior designer will make the whole process of moving into your new office space — or rationalising your existing one — a far more efficient and productive process too.
"An interior designer will help you define the scope of your project, including budgets, timelines and the logistics of scheduling all the involved professionals to make sure you move into a cleverly designed, complete space, rather than into a building site. This includes working with planning and regulatory authorities, to make sure that your space and equipment meet with local standards and accepted norms.

Why Email Isn't Going Anywhere
Oct 2, 2020 | Get Savvy
Email is growing and it isn't slowing down
Though messaging and social media apps have been claiming for years that email is dying, it's still very much alive: the number of global email users amounted to 3.9 billion in 2019 and is set to grow to 4.48 billion users by 2024.
This isn't far behind the number of total internet users worldwide, which was 4.13 billion in 2019.
Why is email still going strong?
The "Social Security number" of our digital lives
In a world of new channels, networks, and devices, email is the one constant. Whether you check email from a phone, tablet, or laptop, at home or elsewhere, your main email address(es) "travel" with you from platform to platform.
For many, this is reassuring.
As we've written previously in this blog, email is still the identifier of record when individuals:
Create an account and then later log into online services
Register for webinars, online events, and courses
Subscribe to blogs, podcasts, company updates, and loyalty programs
Create social media profiles
Make purchases, whether online, via an app, or in-store
Email serves as our digital records and receipts. If we cannot remember our username, but we remember the email address that we used to sign up for a social network or online service, that username will be in a confirmation email sitting in our inbox.
Email is also the workhorse when it comes to tracking our buying habits. For businesses, there are apps like Expensify and Concur to track receipts, but for most individuals, if we need to recall a transaction and how much we spent, we can simply perform an inbox search, and voila—there it is.
Blame marketers
The importance of email as a tool for marketing can perhaps be traced back to 1999 when Seth Godin's book, Permission Marketing: Turning Strangers into Friends and Friends into Customers, was published.
Godin pioneered the idea that consumers will consent to exchange a piece of personal information for something of value. That piece of personal information was, of course, an email address, and the something of value was intended to be a personalized, relevant, targeted piece of content or an offer.
More than 20 years later, as marketing and ad-serving technologies have advanced, email remains the tool of choice for reaching consumers. "People aren't very likely to click on ads, but getting them to open your emails is more valuable because email is a better delivery device for information and offers," notes Chief Marketer.
Apple and Google want you to keep using email
Simply put, you need an email address if you want to use your smartphone—or at least enable most of the features.
To create an Apple ID and use Apple products, you need an email address. This email address is your Apple ID and the username that you use to sign in to services like Apple Music and iCloud. Apple also uses it to contact you in the event of any account updates, disruptions, and—you guessed it—special offers.
As for Android, it's much more obvious: Google wants at least one email address associated with your phone so that you can make use of Google Play Store, YouTube, and other Google Services.
But still, love-hate
There's no love lost on email. If consumers suddenly think that they're getting too many unwanted emails, affecting their email productivity, from a company, perhaps a retailer or service provider, they have no problem unsubscribing or marking it as spam.
However, when digital goodies are at stakes—such as a 20% off coupon or free shipping—they have no problem signing up—even if it means creating yet another email account.
Some IT security experts advise people to create and utilize multiple email addresses as a way to protect one's identity and ward off spam and a barrage of unwanted email.
Even with the creation of "fake" or dummy accounts to protect one's identity, consumers would still need an email address to sign up to get discounts or freebies—thereby increasing reliance on email.
So, email is here to stay
Email has been around a long time, and it's not going away anytime soon — despite marketers and PR professionals overwhelming your inbox with unwanted email.
It's still a personalized, one-to-one communication method that people feel ownership of and connected to.
Email will continue to innovate and needs to be more intuitive so users can access the most important messages as efficiently as they can, keeping a productive inbox.
Consumers are ready to gain more control over their email inbox, wanting increased organization, and the convenience of a more productive inbox.
InMoat helps them achieve this.

My sister loves her back shirt with the "twentyone" label. It is simple, drapey, comfy… what's not to love? However, like a lot of clothing these days, it hasn't stood well to wear and now is getting holes and tears. She is so in love with the style, she asked me to copy it for her. I decided to make it out of a slightly thicker, but still drapey, rayon knit fabric. Hopefully this will stand up to a bit more wear, and she already claims it is more soft and comfortable than the original.
Basically to copy the pattern I literally traced the shirt, since the design is so simple. Originally, mine was a bit big (I think the extra weight of the fabric stretched the neck open more), so I had to modify and make it a bit smaller with a few tucks in the back and one in the front. Overall though, it looks a lot like the original.
The back – you can see my tucks at the neck.
From the side. It is a true black, so the color in this picture is the closest to reality.
Overall, I am pleased because my sister is pleased, but also because this only took a few hours to make, from creating the pattern to finished product, and I am by no means a fast sewer.
What I am not pleased about: it broke my twin needle. I only had one, so I had to very carefully hem the other sleeve. Apparently the piece that holds the needle had come lose on my machine, causing the needle to hit the throat plate at an angle and snap. I was able to re-screw the needle holding piece back on. Hopefully it stays. Hopefully I won't be needing a new machine soon. What with the new skate parts, I really don't think I could afford one for a few months, and I really don't want to live without sewing that long (although I suppose I would get a lot of pattern tracing accomplished…). In any case, it seems to be sewing alright now. We will see how it goes this week.
Yes, I DID. It was totally ON PURPOSE as revenge for your shirt breaking my twin needle!

US military jets fired at - but apparently failed to hit - Iraqi planes in the so-called "no fly" zone southeast of Baghdad, senior American officials in Washington reported. Four US jets tried to bring down the Iraqi craft with air- to-air missiles in the confrontation. One Iraqi plane was believed to have crashed, possibly after running out of fuel. Earlier, an official Iraqi statement called the no-fly zones a violation of international law and vowed continuing efforts to resist them.
A remote jungle town that until last month had only seven outside telephone lines was pre-paring to serve as the venue for peace negotiations between the Colombian government and leftist guerrillas. The talks, to be attended by President Andres Pastrana and hundreds of dignitaries, are scheduled to open tomorrow at San Vicente del Caguan amid heavy international news coverage. An estimated 35,000 people have died in the country's long-running civil war, which has left as many as 1 million others homeless.
Results of a new poll showed a 1 percent rise in the popularity of Britain's ruling Labour Party, despite recent developments that have taken some of the sheen off Prime Minister Blair's mystique. Labour's approval rating was up to 50 percent, the Guardian newspaper reported, as opposed to 30 percent for the opposition Conservatives. But private polls were said to show growing voter concern that Blair's government is arrogant. Three members of his Cabinet have quit since late October - along with a key aide to Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown - because of scandals.
New demands for the resignation of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif came from thousands of mourners at the funeral for victims of an attack on a Shiite Muslim mosque. The services took place under heavy police guard. Sixteen people died Monday and 25 others were wounded during prayers near the Punjab Province city of Multan. The violence was blamed on a rival Sunni radical group. Police arrested 46 of its followers. Sharif himself escaped assassination last Sunday.
An appeal of the Supreme Court's decision to suspend the death penalty was expected from the Philippine government after the first execution there in 23 years was postponed. Anti-capital punishment activists cheered as the court ordered a six-month delay in carrying out the sentence against a convicted rapist. But new President Joseph Estrada, who was elected in part on a pledge to fight crime, said the high court had overstepped its authority. More than 800 convicts await execution by the state.
Senior UN officials appealed to both sides in Angola's renewed civil war for access to the sites where two chartered planes have crashed in the past 11 days. Between them, the UN planes carried 22 people, and no one knows whether there are any survivors, since they went down in areas contested by government troops and UNITA rebels. UNITA and the government blame each other for causing the crashes. Meanwhile, the refugee population of Malanje, a government-controlled city in the central highlands, reportedly swelled to 200,000 as UNITA shelling extended into a second day.

Wendy W. from Charlotte, NC is the winner of this winter's #ShareYourShutters contest!
Wendy had her Polywood® plantation shutters mounted on the bedroom windows. They allowed her to control for privacy while letting sunlight filter in! After the installers left her house, she snapped an image and posted it to Facebook with #ShareYourShutters to enter the competition.
We're happy that Wendy is so pleased with her new interior shutters. Her bedroom wouldn't stay as toasty during the winter (or pleasantly cool in the summer) without her energy efficient Polywood shutters. Now she can sleep in longer with her new shutters blocking all the light out.
Congratulations to Wendy for winning our winter 2016 Share Your Shutters contest! She was presented with a $100 dinner giftcard to a restaurant in the Charlotte area.
Do you have plantation shutters installed in your home by Sunburst? We'd love to see your photographs on Facebook, or any other social media platform. And it would be great to have a homeowner from the Phoenix area win the next Share Your Shutters competition.

Q: Retrieve annotation by name I know it's possible to get a class by name, using
public String className = "someName";
public Class<?> c = Class.forName(className);

Is it possible to retrieve an annotation by name? I tried this:
public String annotationName = "someName";
public Class<?> c = Class.forName(annotationName);

And then casting c to Class<? extends Annotation>, which works, but I get an Unchecked cast warning.
I also tried
public String annotationName = "someName";
public Class<? extends Annotation> c = Class.forName(annotationName);

But when I do that I get the error
Incompatible types.
Required: Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>
Found: Class<Capture<?>>

A: Use asSubclass. Unlike compiler generated type casts, which can only work with types known at compile-time, this will perform a check against the Class object retrieved at runtime. Since this is safe, it won't generated an "Unchecked cast" warning. Note the existence of a similar operation, cast for casting an instance of a Class. These methods were added in Java 5, specifically to aid code using Generics.
String annotationName = "java.lang.Deprecated";
Class<? extends Annotation> c = Class.forName(annotationName).asSubclass(Annotation.class);
boolean depr = Thread.class.getMethod("stop").isAnnotationPresent(c);
System.out.println(depr);

The Decline of the Halo Series
Cosssta September 29, 2010, 4:55am #1
For all of you whom haven't seen Cursed Lemon's videos here they are:
I encourage all the devs at 343 to listen/watch these videos, and ask themselves before every single gameplay element is added "Will this make the skill-gap smaller?", and "Will this negatively affect the competitive merit of the game?", if so, and this decides to be added to the final game, give us the option to turn it off.
Bungie has been continually dumbing down the Halo series, and I'd absolutely love if 343 studios can turn it around. While Lemon hasn't addressed Reach, I'd just like to briefly point out some of the pros/cons that affect the competitive community.
DMR- no more bullet spread
Forge World- so we don't have to put up with Bungie's PoS map making abilities
Lack of individual damage multiplier- while the DMR was a great addition, in order to lessen the shots required to kill, the damage multiplier must be tuned up to 125%. Unfortunately, this breaks the entire sandbox (snipers are 1 shot kills, etc.)
Armor Abilities- Anything where you can "PrEsS X To LiVe!!" is broken beyond belief. AAs off spawn simply slow down, and dumb down gameplay. Luckily we have the option to turn these off, but they really don't belong in any competitive setting, including Arena
The Ranking System- As of now, the team-based ranking system has been thrown out the window in favor of an individual one. Halo is a team based game, you win as a team and you lose as a team. There are simply too many gameplay factors to give someone a rating based off their stats. It's impossible to measure someone's relative contribution to the team when variables such as communication and power weapon/spawn control come into play. The H2/H3 ranking system wasn't a bad one, they had their flaws, but their basic concept was correct.
Bloom- Programmed randomness is simply a flaw. While better than the conic spread that existed in H3, this simply doesn't belong in a competitive setting.
I could go and on, but it's late and I think you guys get the picture. The next installment to the halo franchise will not succeed if the competitive community is hung out to dry. Don't try to take the place of CoD as a game catered to the casual individual, instead of the loyal fans who have been following the Halo franchise since CE.

There is a lot of baseless claims in this post. Also, mentioning COD makes me unwilling to take you seriously as there are NO correlations between the two games.
First of all there is no random spread to the DMR. The Bloom hardly provides random results you just do not know how to use it properly. Do not come on here and tell me that you go to theater and see yourself shooting the person because that simply will highlight the fact you are clueless on how hitscan works. Hitscan is a system that is a superior hit detection system, however the one draw back is the image you see on your screen is nothing more than a ghost and not indicative of what is occuring. This is old news if you know what you are talking about. DMR Bloom and shot placement are fine. I can consistently put people down with 5 shots from the DMR. If you require any more than 7 you simply cannot aim. Why should the damage be upped? You have to eliminate the shields and then take out the users health. With many weapons including the DMR and Magnum, this can be down with 5 shots. Fact. Your lack of damage multiplyer argument is stupid, at best.
The AA system merely adds depth to the game. It doesnt slow it down, or dumb it down as any and all of them have distinct weaknesses that can be exploited. There is no basis to your argument there.
The Halo 3 ranking system was absolutely broken and atrocious. Yes, winning games is the ultimate goal but I have news for you - teammates are out of your hands in many cases and it is simply illogical to punish an individual for consistently having bad teammates or teammates that quite. H3s ranking system was ruined by derankers, people with second accounts, and people going idle. You wound up with people who were legit 50s playing with a new account and ruining the experience for newere players. The current system doesn promote individual achievement you are correct. However the POINT of a slayer match is to get the most kills so it hardly ruins the experience, further you get a substantially higher rating if your team wins.
Stop posting fallacies. The skill gap has hardly been reduced. Your complaints are undermined by the fact you have little to no understanding of how anything in the game including the ranking system works. You are merely complaining due to change. The Armor Abilities barely alter the core gameplay at all.
One last thing - if this game reduced the so called skill gap as you say, why is your KD in arena average at best. You are barely over a kd of 1, that hardly gives you room to discuss the skill level in the game. Judging by your weak KD and ridiculous number of deaths I am assuming this is the rant of an individual who merely cannot adjust without the BR, the most flawed weapon ever, from H3.
The series has far been dumbed down, you do not even know what that term means. If it were dumbed down that means options and play types would be REMOVED. They have been ADDING things for years. What you need to get through your head is the bottom line is, it is their goal to make money. Improving playability brings in new players and therefore new customers. If they made the game damn near impossible for new people then that is counter productive to a buisnesses ultimate goal.
However the changes made to the game play should not, and do not affect, Halo veterans and by no means puts anyone new on equal groud with skill old timers.
If 343 knows what they are doing, they wont listen to people like yourself, who cry about nothing and make nothing more than baseless unsubstantiated claims that are shown to be nothing more than crying or complaining when looking at the performance of the individual ranting online. It always seems like the people who struggle with the game, are the ones demanding it be more like H3 because they simply cannot adapt to modifications to the play environment.
AAs require the ability to adapt, react and change on the fly. They do nothing mroe than provide deeper gameplay and more gameplay options.
Ignore the competetive community. LOL. You have no buisness sense, and further, the true competetive community prides themselves on just that, being competetive and would rather adjust and dominate rather than cry for change because they lack the ability to evolve. The comp. community has never been neglected by Bungie, some of you just like to whine.

Bloom is programmed randomness. The whole "You don't know how to do it right" argument doesn't have a solid basis, because I'd be willing to bet I'm more successful with it than you. My issue exists with players whom don't time their shots. Player A could time every shot perfectly, allowing the bloom to reset, while Player B could spam the trigger. There is a possibility that Player B could win by dumb luck. While this chance is small, and Player A will win 9/10 times, the randomness of bloom doesn't always reward the most skillfull player.
In regards to the damage being upped, this is just for custom settings. In an attempt to decrease the kill times and speed up Reach's gameplay, Killa KC attempted to make the DMR a 4 shot kill. Unfortunately in order to this, the weapon sandbox is broken.
Are you serious about armor abilities not affecting core gameplay? Reach's default settings are more about pressing "x" than shooting. How do the AAs: camo/armor lock/drop shield not slow down gameplay? Lessening the importance of shooting skill and making it more like rock-paper-scissors to whom had the most valuable AA for that scenario lessens the skill gap significantly. I can dropshield just as well as you can, there isn't a skill gap involved.
How is 4% a substantial bonus for winning? The penalty to losing is a .96 multiplier to your score. Players go into the game with the intention to -Yoink!- power weapons and increase their rating, no matter what the cost to their team is. Instead of players working to put their teammates in a good position, they are encouraged to play selfishly and only consider their own positioning.
An individually based ranking system in a team-based game is fundamentally flawed. While I absolutely adore the season concept, the way players are rated is horrific. It's counter-intuitive to the concept of doing whatever is necessary to win. How do you reward players for perfect callouts? It could be the difference between their teammate living or dying, yet they put no shots into the player.
The skill gap has gotten smaller and smaller since CE, and Bungie is in no way hiding that fact.
Edit: You can stop flaming me if you'd like. My 1.23 k/d at Onyx level in Team Arena isn't something you can exactly call me out on.
SirPwn4g3 September 29, 2010, 8:53pm #10
Armor abilities are something old presented in a new way, it's been in Halo since day one, and there are classic gametypes, so that point is now invalid, as power ups are crucial to the Halo formula. You may be able to drop shield better than me, but I can probably armor lock and jet pack better than you. That's like saying take the vehicles out because it's unfair to those who don't have a hog, figure out how to counter it. It's part of the formula.
The DMR has nothing wrong with it, it acts more like a real weapon, like the BR in Halo 3. In Halo 2 the BR had a programmed spread, real weapons don't do that, in Halo 3 the BR spread was random, like a real weapon.
Fact: If you take any gun, and just start squeezing off rounds you will lose accuracy. I'm using the DMR/BR as examples but this goes across all weapons, if you want guns that don't behave like real guns; play a different game. Bloom adds skill because it encourages people to shoot better instead of spray and pray.
The way players are rated has always been horrific, it is across every game, so you can't pin this on Halo alone. If people stuck together as a team (you, me, Steve, Bob, and Larry) throughout the rest of our gaming lives then yes, a team based rating system would be great. However, that's not how things work, and it's a system that would be wasted on most, and take up valuable resources.
Blaming teammates has nothing to do with the game, so that's void. Battlefield is a team based game, but half the time you can't get into a squad or the squad doesn't talk, much like Halo. It's the people, not the game.

I forgot a game with aliens and super-humans in mechanized battle suits is supposed to be realistic.
It's a game, I couldn't care less what it's like IRL. If it makes for bad gameplay, it doesn't have a part in the halo franchise.
It's really always been like this though, just now there's a visual representation.
> It's really always been like this though, just now there's a visual representation.
It never existed on a mid/long range precision weapon.
SirPwn4g3 September 29, 2010, 11:00pm #14
The BR in Halo 3 had a random spread, the BR in Halo 2 had a pattern, the faster you shot, the more the gun moved, the less accurate you were, especially at distance. It's all a part of recoil in Reach, in previous games it was recoil and spread, the reticule bloom is simply a visual representation of it. Much like the guy on the other team with the sniper rifle, just because you didn't see him didn't mean he wasn't there.
SM_Scorx October 4, 2010, 10:21pm #15
Even if the competitive community was catered to, that won't stop the complaints! Let's face it: there will always be complainers and some will pull some flaw out of a hat and rant about it!
I'm sure Bungie listens to the community and do changes in their games. Case in point, feedback from the Halo 3 and Halo: Reach Betas. The final version of the games are different from Betas, such as the armor abilities, team colors in Invasion, etc. However, this does not mean Bungie is perfect. No one is. They have their flaws, but they always make fun games that people enjoy playing for one reason or another. Why else would 24.84 million copies be sold (the number comes from the Guinness Book of World Records 2010 Gamer's Edition)?
Another point to bring up is we do not even know if the next Halo game will be a FPS! 343 could make a 3rd person shooter for all we know or even Halo Wars 2. Putting that into perspective, the points of Cosssta and Cursed Lemon are null and void!
evilronnie42 October 7, 2010, 11:25am #16
anyone get the feeling that this was designed to offend others? maybe not directly but this is a halo waypoint forum which is probably best for talking about how you enjoy the game, about new updates,etc…
Ninja_Orca October 7, 2010, 12:51pm #17
Well, it can also be for critical discussion. I mean, there's no rule that says we all have to be perfect adoring fans or we can't be here. Healthy discussion is good for stuff like this. It enhances knowledge and helps people come to a better understanding about the franchise they love.
That being said, the only issue I have with Cursed Lemon's videos is that it seems like he places a bit too much importance on the professional gamers. Despite what he says in the second video, he really does come across as saying that Bungie should have catered to MLG. He might not have intended to, but that's how he came across to me.
I'll give him quite a few of his points though, and I'll toss in one of my own. Decline of map quality. Halo 1 and 2 had a decent selection of original maps not found in either campaign, yet clearly influenced by some areas. That's basically the only area where Reach falls short for me, with the multiplayer maps. It's almost like Bungie said, "Hey, they'll be able to make maps in Forge, so why even try on the multiplayer maps? We'll just have them be from the campaign."
But that's kind of my only gripe. I suppose if you got down into number-crunching and hair splitting I would be bothered by some of the stuff Cursed Lemon brings up, but I'm not one to crunch numbers or split hairs. As it is, all of the Halo games are still fun for me, despite their flaws. And as such, I will continue to play them.

actually the Multiplayer maps were originally made for multiplayer then ported into the campaign.

> The next installment to the halo franchise will not succeed if the competitive community is hung out to dry.
This is a sweeping an entirely unfounded statement.
The "competitive" community is a TINY minority in the vast population of gamers that make up the Halo-playing community. Despite the fact that you are for all practical purposes inconsequential as a market force or fan voice, Bungie threw you a bone and created a multiplayer list with MLG settings. And how did you pay that generosity back? By displaying airs of manufactured elitism and hurling demands laced with an undeserved sense of entitlement.
You'd also do a lot better if you avoided ever mentioning Cursed Lemon again - he hasn't commented on Halo Reach because he's an irrelevant footnote to the Halo franchise who's cried wolf for so long that he can't come back without looking like an idiot - and people might have believed was offering objective criticism (and not attention-seeking) at the time if he didn't include things like anti-gay slurs in his videos.
In point of fact, I have nothing against MLG or the individuals who comprise that community. But to all you sad little fools who think you matter because you farm high k/d ratios, you may want to wait until you get more press than competitive curling before you hop on soapbox and try to start speaking on behalf of what the Halo community "needs." This thread is a joke.

WOW angel its odd to see you here congrats on you new job I look forward to see what 343 does with a new halo game.
As for the competitve side the post above me is right. Competitive play is a very tiny part of the community and should be the main focus. where I do agree with some of the things you say about AA they make the game moar fun…well at least jet pack does anyways

Red Dwarf Cast on Doctor Who Crossover
By Ben | 27th November 2014
As well as Doctor Who stars at the Birmingham comic con, there were also other guests, including several cast members from the hit BBC/Dave sitcom Red Dwarf. Some sort of crossover between the two shows has been flirted around before, so I couldn't help but take the opportunity to speak to the cast and ask them directly.
Firstly, I asked Hattie Hayridge, who played the ship's computer, Holly, from Series 3 to Series 7. Although she has not been in Red Dwarf since Series 7, she said that she would like to take part were there to be a crossover requiring Holly. She also revealed that Mark Gatiss is her neighbour, so she would hope he would get her a part in a Doctor Who crossover.
Chris Barrie, who plays Arnold Rimmer, though it was not very likely to happen. He explained that there is a 'bridge' between the Red Dwarf and the BBC, who often shunned shows like Red Dwarf saying sci-fi didn't work. But he said that were it put to him, he would happily join in. His final words on the matter were:
"Stranger things have happened… and all the other clichés."
Next was Robert Llewellyn, who plays Kryten. He was quite certain that it wouldn't happen. He agreed with Barrie that the BBC had shunned Red Dwarf and would never admit how popular it was. He did say that were it to happen, he would love to join in.
"I think even just a brief thing where Kryten walks into the TARDIS and says 'Oh, wrong destination sirs'. I think that would be great."
Llewellyn also added that he has previously had lunch with former showrunner Russell T Davies and Doug [possibly meaning Red Dwarf writer Doug Naylor] so the crossover idea has been discussed before, but never amounting to anything.
Finally, I put the question to Danny John-Jules, who plays Cat. He was rather passionate about the topic, even challenging Peter Capaldi to appearing in the sitcom, as you can hear in the clip below:
In summary, it seems highly unlikely that we will see the Red Dwarf crew board the TARDIS any time soon, but if there were a Children In Need skit perhaps, they would be happy to take part.
Tomorrow we'll be bringing you an exclusive interview with Wendy Padbury.

There are some big shifts going on in the world of facilities. The recession has made companies more frugal. Real estate per person has shrunk. Employees have become more mobile. Work has become more collaborative. Environmental concern, and its interpretation within LEED guidelines, has changed interior design, moving employees toward the windows and dropping panel heights to foster natural light penetration. And to address these multiple factors, benching systems were developed. Trendway Trig was not the first, but they have watched to see what worked and didn't work from the first product lines introduced, and tried to bring the best elements to Trig, at a more than competitive price point. Better still, Trig integrates with Trendway Choices and shares the same finishes as Trendway Intrinsic casegoods, so your whole facility will coordinate.

Kraft attacked over China relocation plans
26-Mar-2008 - Last updated on 19-Jul-2008 at 09:03 GMT
Related tags: Kraft, Beijing
A labour union at Kraft's Chinese division said the firm violated
labour laws by not adequately informing its employees about the
relocation of its headquarters in the country, according to local
news reports.
Kraft first said it was considering moving its Chinese headquarters to Shanghai from Beijing in January, although the company did not give any explanations for the move at the time. However, the labour union for Kraft's workers in China is now accusing the company of failing to keep its staff updated on the relocation plans, citing new laws that require a company to consult with its staff before making major decisions that affect their interests, according to the China Daily. The news may serve as a warning to other manufacturers wishing to move operations to China, a country often seen as not having labour laws as stringent as those in other countries. According to Reuters, a Kraft spokesperson told the press last week that the company would offer jobs in Shanghai to half its 250 non-sales staff in Beijing, while the other half would be offered severance pay. She did add, however, that many of the workers would be left without a job as they would be unwilling or unable to relocate, the news agency said. Kraft's offices in both the US and Singapore did not respond in time for comment when contacted by BakeryAndSnacks.com. Kraft first entered the Chinese market in 1984, and is now one of the largest biscuit and powdered beverage manufacturers in the country. Regional president Mark Clouse said last year that China will continue to be one of the major markets for the firm, and promised continued investment and input over the next ten years. Kraft is the second-largest food company in the world, with global sales of $10.4bn (€6.6bn) in 2007. The top-selling bakery brand in the Asia Pacific region was Oreo cookies, the company said last month.

Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein. If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger!!!
And, yes, the man is really there!!

SMSM Back To Square One With Morelos Transfer Bingo
Post published:22nd July 2022
Despite the Scottish media doing their best to help out Sevco and drum up interest in crocked Colombian Alfredo Morelos, it seems like there still aren't any takers for his signature.
The Scottish Sun have ran a story tonight, claiming the Ibrox club are 'braced for bids' for their star striker, and have given the odds on the next club to sign him.
This is what the Sun have written on the matter:
"Aston Villa appear to be at the front of the queue to sign the Colombian star should Gers look to cash in on him this window.
Paddy Power make the Villans 3/1 favourites to sign Morelos in this transfer window.
Boss Steven Gerrard knows the 26-year-old extremely well from their time together in Glasgow and was hailed for getting through to his star striker after a string of disciplinary issues."
So, back to square one in the Morelos transfer Bingo, seemingly linking him with a move to Villa, simply because Steven Gerrard is their manager.
This is despite Gerrard bashing the player publicly for his poor goal scoring form towards the end of Gerrard's tenure, and rumours of a feisty relationship between the two of them over the last few seasons.
Listen, I'm not going to rule out a club making an actual bid for him and him leaving, because he is in the final year of his contract and he is going to leave sooner or later, but we hear this every single window and no club ever seriously comes in for him, despite the media's best attempts to drum up interest and hike up his price tag.
This story just looks like Ibrox PR plant, asking the press to do what they can so they don't lose him on a free next summer.

Beyonce and Jay Z will co-star in an HBO concert special, and Queen Latifah will play legendary blues singer Bessie Smith in a movie for the network.
The music special will feature the married couple on their "On the Run Tour" performing in Paris. It will tape Sept. 12 and 13 at the Stade de France, featuring the superstars performing more than 40 songs, the network announced. It will air in September.
Starring Queen Latifah, "Bessie" is written and directed by filmmaker Dee Rees ("Pariah"). Currently in production in Atlanta, it co-stars Michael K. Williams, Khandi Alexander, Charles S. Dutton, Oliver Platt and Mo'Nique. It premieres in 2015.
HBO also said Mike Nichols will direct fellow Oscar winner Meryl Streep in "Master Class." Drawing on the legendary master classes given by opera star Maria Callas, it is based on the Tony award-winning play of the same name by Terrence McNally, who will adapt his work for the screen.
The announcements were made Thursday at the summer TV critics' tour, as was good news from sister network Cinemax about its upcoming series "The Knick." This drama of a circa-1900 New York hospital has been rewarded with a second season prior to its Aug. 8 premiere. It stars Clive Owen, with both 10-episode seasons directed by Steven Soderbergh.
With HBO's freshman drama "True Detective" landing best-actor Emmy nominations on Thursday for both leads, Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, this question was renewed: Who will star in the series' second season, which is expected to feature an entirely new cast?
Michael Lombardo, president of HBO programming, promised an announcement soon, perhaps even next week.

Step 1) Slice Swiss chard stems into 1/2 inch pieces and sauté in butter for 1 minute.
Step 2) Slice Swiss chard leaves into 1 inch strips and add to the pan. Sauté for an additional minute.
Step 3) Slice the top half of each squash blossom (the orange part) into thin strips and add to the pan. Sauté for one, final minute. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
I love cooking with eggplant – it's very low in calories and versatile – but I don't always think of eggplant when I'm looking for something fast.

Each high fiber serving of Lazy Cheesy Eggplant contains approximately 125 calories.
