The project began in 1999 in an effort to assess the impact of I-200 (the referendum that ended Affirmative Action) on minority enrollment in higher education in Washington. The research objectives of the project were: (1) to describe and explain differences in the transition from high school to college by race and ethnicity, socioeconomic origins, and other characteristics, (2) to evaluate the impact of the Washington State Achievers Program, and (3) to explore the implications of multiple race and ethnic identities. Following a successful pilot survey in the spring of 2000, the project eventually included baseline and one-year follow-up surveys (conducted in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005) of almost 10,000 high school seniors in five cohorts across several Washington school districts. The high school senior surveys included questions that explored students' educational aspirations and future career plans, as well as questions on family background, home life, perceptions of school and home environments, self-esteem, and participation in school related and non-school related activities. To supplement the 2000, 2002, and 2003 student surveys, parents of high school seniors were also queried to determine their expectations and aspirations for their child's education, as well as their own educational backgrounds and fields of employment. Parents were also asked to report any financial measures undertaken to prepare for their child's continued education, and whether the household received any form of financial assistance. In 2010, a ten-year follow-up with the 2000 senior cohort was conducted to assess educational, career, and familial outcomes. The ten year follow-up surveys collected information on educational attainment, early employment experiences, family and partnership, civic engagement, and health status. The baseline, parent, and follow-up surveys also collected detailed demographic information, including age, sex, ethnicity, language, religion, education level, employment, income, marital status, and parental status. High school seniors were surveyed using a traditional paper and pencil questionnaire in the spring (April or May). One-year follow-up surveys were conducted from January through June. Attempts were made to contact every senior survey respondent by phone, email, and letter. Finally, the ten-year follow-up survey of the 2000 high school senior cohort was administered online. The baseline UW-BHS senior survey covers about 200 items, including a broad range of questions on family background, educational plans, perceptions of encouragement from teachers, peers and family members, and standard scales to tap self-esteem, self-efficacy, and other social psychological dimensions. The ten-year follow-up survey of the 2000 high school senior cohort focuses primarily on the key components of young adulthood, including educational attainment, early career and work history, family and partnership formation, civic engagement, and health statuses. The data are not weighted. ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection: Standardized missing values.; Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.. Response Rates: For regular students -- graduating seniors enrolled at and attending one of the five major high schools -- the response rate is about 80 percent. If a broader universe of students is considered, including students with marginal affiliation to high school and other hard to contact students, the effective rate of coverage of all potential seniors is probably about 70 percent. High school seniors in the state of Washington graduating in the years 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005, and the parents of seniors in the 2000, 2002, and 2003 cohorts.

Just as pre-cancer may be detected and removed before turning into cancer, discovery of diabetes in its earliest stages may help prevent further development of type 2 diabetes.
Blood sugar levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to be called diabetes, are classified as prediabetes. Prediabetes is also called impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose. Evidence indicates that people with prediabetes can take steps to return their blood sugar levels to a normal range. This can prevent or delay complications that are linked to diabetes.
How Serious Is the Problem?
If you have prediabetes, then you are at risk for type 2 diabetes and other serious conditions, like heart attack and stroke.
Other long-term health problems can result if you do not have good control over your blood sugar levels. Complications related to type 2 diabetes include but are not limited to:
- Blindness
- Impotence
- Kidney disease
- Nerve damage
- Limb amputation
- Cognitive decline
- Increased risk of infection
- Joint problems
What Are the Risk Factors?
Being overweight is the major risk factor for prediabetes and diabetes. Obesity and type 2 diabetes make your body cells less sensitive to the effects of insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. This allows blood sugar levels to rise over time and can result in long-term damage to your body.
This is an especially important risk factor for Americans since many are overweight. African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders may be at an even higher risk, probably due to genetics.
How Do You Detect Prediabetes?
Prediabetes and diabetes can be diagnosed with a simple blood test. During a routine office visit, your doctor can order tests, such as:
- Fasting plasma glucose test
—You will fast for at least 8 hours and have your blood glucose measured before eating. Your results may be read as follows:
- Normal: 60-99 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)
- Prediabetes: 100-125 mg/dL
- Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or above
Oral glucose tolerance test
—You will fast for at least 8 hours and have your blood glucose measured after the fast. Then you will drink a sugary drink and have your blood glucose measured 2 hours later. Results 2 hours after the drink are usually as follows:
- Normal: below 140 mg/dL
- Prediabetes: 140-199 mg/dL
- Diabetes: 200 mg/dL or above
- Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
— A blood test that does not require any fasting. The HbA1c is an indicator of your average blood sugar levels over the previous 2 to 3 months. Your results may be read as follows:
- Normal: below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7%-6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
Who Should Get Screened?
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that the following people get screened for diabetes:
- Adults of any age who are overweight or obese with 1 or more of these risk factors:
- First-degree relative with diabetes
- Low HDL (good) cholesterol level and high triglycerides levels
- High blood pressure
- History of diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes) or having a baby weighing over 9 pounds
- Having polycystic ovary syndrome or other conditions associated with insulin resistance
- Being inactive
- History of cardiovascular disease
- Belonging to an at-risk ethnic group (African American, Hispanic, Native American, Hispanic American, Asian American, or Pacific Islander)
- Previous blood test results that show HbA1C levels at 5.7% or higher, impaired glucose tolerance, and impaired fasting glucose
- Adults aged 45 or older without any risk factors
- Overweight children aged 10 years and older who have 2 of these risk factors:
- High body mass index (BMI) based on child's weight and height
- Family history of any type of diabetes, including during pergnancy
- Signs of insulin resistance or having a condition associated with insulin resistance
- At-risk ethnic background
- Screening should be repeated at least every three years if the results are normal, or every year for those people who are at increased risk for future diabetes.
How Do You Treat Prediabetes?
If your test indicates prediabetes, you should have it repeated for accuracy. If you do have prediabetes, you will need to be retested every year.
Fortunately, we know that people with prediabetes can delay or prevent the onset of diabetes with lifestyle changes. Experts recommend that people with prediabetes reduce their weight by 5-7% and engage in modest physical activity for at least 150 minutes each week. In addition to exercising, you doctor will also recommend that you make changes to your diet. This may include eating more fruits and vegetables and whole grain foods. You should also limit your intake of sugar-sweetened drinks.
If you already drink alcohol, limit your drinking to moderate to amounts of alcohol. This is 2 drinks per day for men, 1 drink per day for women. Some studies have shown a benefit for people who drink moderately.
In some cases, medications commonly used to treat diabetes may be prescribed to prevent people from developing diabetes.

Spiced and Roasted Multi-Colored Organic Carrots
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...A simple grilled chicken gave me the time I needed to play with some new side dishes I wanted to serve for dinner last night. Once the chicken was dressed and ready for the grill, I transferred it to the capable hands of the Silver Fox, and moved on to our vegetable of the evening. It was a perfect time to try the multi-color carrots that have been tempting me for a while now. The ones in the market were gnarly in comparison to the beauties I've seen in magazines, but I figured with a little trimming they'd be a perfect companion for the chicken. I wanted something a little different than the roast carrots that I usually prepare, so I added some simple spices to the olive oil I use to coat the carrots before roasting them. I used a light hand with the spices because I didn't want them to mask the flavor of the carrots I had yet to try. I'm not quite sure what I expected, but I was a bit disappointed in the carrots. I thought they'd be wildly different in flavor than their orange cousins. That didn't prove to be the case. I found them to be less sweet and more fibrous than everyday carrots. Were it not for the novelty of color, I'd have been really disappointed. I won't bother with these again. Their flavor doesn't compensate for the additional cost it takes to get them to the table. I was, however, really pleased with the recipe I used to make them and will use it in the future for roasting ordinary garden variety carrots. If you are looking for a different way to prepare carrots, I think you'll like this recipe. Without further ado, here's my version of spiced and roasted carrots.
Spiced and Roasted Multi-Colored Organic Carrots...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch cayenne pepper
2 pounds organic multi-colored carrots, cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup white raisins
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

They are very pretty, but it probably is difficult to improve on the great flavor of the orange carrot. Nice recipe.

This is beautiful! I love all of the colors and can't wait to make this for a side. The blend of spices sounds great-- I think cinnamon and cumin would be delicious with roasted carrots. Looking forward to trying this!

I purchased some of the red carrots a few years ago and found them rather tasteless and not worth the money. I'm happy to have your recipe since I've been in a vegetable roasting rut--good but need a change up! Now I'm off to check out the radish salad I see at the end of your post.

Well I'm out of touch...I didn't know there was a such thing as purple carrots! If it tastes as wonderful as it looks, it's a WINNER!
- July 13, 2011 at 1:08 PM
- girlichef said...
I do love your spice mixture...it sounds lovely. I've found that with different colored carrots, you have to go with tiny, baby ones...they aren't as fibrous as the larger ones....and they taste pretty much just like an orange carrot then.
- July 13, 2011 at 1:37 PM
- Wendy Irene said...
The color of those carrots is stunning! Cayenne pepper sounds like a wonderful idea. I love spice. Going to try the cayenne next time I make carrots. Have a lovely day!

Mary, As old as I am, I've never had multi-colored carrots! I do like them roasted best...but now I'll have to seek out colored carrots! I can't wait to try this recipe... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

- Foodness Gracious said...
Beautiful as always! Roasting brings out so many unique flavors which can never be matched through any other form of cooking in my opinion,
Great post and thanks for sharing!

You have saved me time and money with the advice about the carrots. The multi-colored ones are expensive. I will however prepare nice small orange ones according to your recipe.

Multi color carrots! Looks so good!
Honestly I havent seen carrots of these colors.

I'm sorry the carrots didn't live up to expectation, but they certainly make for a purrty dish!

They may not taste any better, but they sure do make for a pretty dish!

I once tried multi-colored cauliflower and was kinda disappointed, too. But that won't keep me from trying carrots. If only I could find them! They certainly are pretty, though. And I love how roasting naturally sweetens the veggies.
- July 13, 2011 at 3:52 PM
- nanny said...
So pretty....and oh all of those flavors combined...yummy!
- July 13, 2011 at 3:55 PM
- Kelly said...
Multicolored carrots are one of my favorite farmers' market finds. I just got purple ones the other day and it was amusing because they were so richly purple that when I boiled them to throw in a dish they turned the cooking water purple. In hindsight, I should have saved it, let it concentrate down and used it to color some homemade pasta.
- July 13, 2011 at 4:02 PM
- Ruth said...
Ooh! So pretty! These carrots look so lovely all together! I love carrots roasted so I'll have to keep an eye out for the different coloured varieties.

Looks like an absolutely lovely bunch of roasted carrots, with such brilliant color!!

I have not seen such pretty carrots at my market, but I am so sorry to hear that the flavor did not match their color. Such a beautiful presentation though!

- Sue/the view from great island said...
I love roasted carrots, but haven't tried the multi-colored ones. Could it be that we've become used to the super sweet varieties of veggies that they've developed recently? Corn tastes positively like candy to me now, and I'm not sure I like it. I tasted an heirloom tomato the other day that had a kind of grassy twang (not sure how to put in it words!) that I liked. It's how I remember tomatoes tasting. Your carrots look beautiful, but fibrous doesn't sound too appealing. I'll have to track some down and have a taste test.

I never imagined multicolored carrots in the same dish ..looks lovely and healthy!

How beautiful do those look? WOW! Mary, how is it that you can take things I normally are not to fond of and make them look so amazing that I want to devour them? I love raw carrots, but cooked has never been my favorite... These would not be fed to the dog in secrecy, believe me!!

I love the spices and raisins in your roasted carrot dish. Although the colorful carrots didn't taste as good as you had hoped, they are really pretty.
- July 13, 2011 at 10:06 PM
- GLENDA CHILDERS said...
Our family thinks that carrots are one vegetable that really taste so much better if you guys organic. I love this recipe.
- July 13, 2011 at 10:52 PM

Is there a better way to put colors on table? I don't think so!

as one more interested in the flavor than the looks, thanks for the word of caution on the multicolored carrots. will stick with the regular ones but will definitely try your spice combination on them!
- July 14, 2011 at 9:29 AM
- Rambling Tart said...
This is a stunningly gorgeous veggie dish, Mary, but you're right. They aren't worth the cost on an everyday basis. Love all the spices though. :-)

- Nuts about food said...
I can't find different colored carrots here and have never had a chance to cook with them, so it is good to know they are not that exciting, that I am not missing out on anything. They do however look lovely and I am sure your recipe will be lovely on good old orange carrots.
- July 15, 2011 at 5:10 AM
- Faith said...
What a truly stunning dish this is, Mary! I would love to find such gorgeous carrots in my area. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
- July 15, 2011 at 12:01 PM
- Terri @ that's some good cookin' said...
Yep, the carrots have great colors, but you are right about the flavor. A couple of years ago I experimented with about 7 or 8 different colors and varieties of carrots in my garden. The purple ones were beautiful, but lacked in flavor and texture. I have gone back to my tried and true varieties; all orange. That being said, I LOVE how your dish looks and I will be trying it to go with Sunday dinner.
Oh and P.S.: If I am not mistaken in my past research, carrots were originally purple or yellow. Ever noticed the purpleish hew that some carrots have near their top close to where the stem attaches (especially home grown carrots)?

More Testimonials »
The C. Howard Hunt Pen Company was founded in 1899 by Howard Hunt. The widely used BOSTON pencil sharpener found in almost every schoolroom was made at this small company.
Mr. George E. Bartol, a Philadelphia grain and commodities exporter, was one of the first 28 shareholders. In 1903, Mr. Bartol was elected president of Hunt Pen. Ross F. George of Seattle, a sign letterer, invented a tipped pen that could make both broad and thin lines, and he called it a Speedball Pen. The Hunt Pen company purchased Mr. George's idea, and soon manufactured these pens in six sizes. Later on, these famous Speedball pens became the company's namesake.
By 1925, the Howard Hunt Company was making almost 45,000 pens a day from rolled steel sheets. In 1936, Hunt was America's first large manufacturer of inexpensive linoleum block printing accessories.
Hunt Manufacturing understands the value of well-crafted tools. The company has a deep appreciation for the people who make these pens and inks. A particular source of pride for the company is their annual award of scholarships to children of employees, a practice which began in 1956 with the establishment of the Hunt Foundation.

Buckeye Home Value Statistics
The American Community Survey, conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, publishes detailed estimates about owner-occupied housing throughout the United States each year, including data.
Unlike the Census—which is an exact count of people and households every ten years—ACS statistics are estimated based on a representative survey sample. The data in this story only considers owner-occupied housing units.
For locations with populations under 60,000, the ACS is only available in 5-year estimates, rather than single-year periods. The 5-year estimates provide greater geographical granularity but a less granular time period.
How do Buckeye home values compare to those of Illinois and the United States?
How much are Buckeye homes worth in aggregate?
How many homes are affordable in Buckeye?
According to a rule of thumb, a household shouldn't spend more than 2.6 times their income on a home. This chart shows the number of owner-occupied homes in Buckeye broken down by this ratio, as well as their mortgage status.
Note: Use the time slider beneath the chart to view data from different 5-year periods.

Benchmade Construction
Each Calvin piece is constructed one at a time by an expert artisan. The entire case is reinforced with time-tested joinery, built and assembled by hand and then hand sanded and finished before it comes to you as a fully assembled piece. Our commitment to benchmade construction ensures you receive furniture that's built to last a lifetime.
Solid Wood
We source our solid woods within the U.S., which has some of the strictest forestry standards in the world. Every board is hand selected for color consistency and strategically placed to create a cohesive appearance. The natural markings of the wood make each Calvin piece one of a kind. All components are solid wood, except for the back panel and drawer box bottoms. Exterior back panels are unfinished wood veneer, while visible interior backs are finished wood veneer that matches the piece.
Calvin is available in a beautiful range of natural and stained woods. Stain colors are meticulously applied by hand and layered until the perfect color is achieved. A clear low-sheen lacquer is used on both natural and stained woods to protect and seal the surface. Regardless of your material selection, the grain of the wood is allowed to show through for a natural look.
Drawers and Glides
Each drawer front is solid wood and perfectly aligned within the frame of the piece. The drawer boxes feature French dovetail joinery and solid sycamore sides, a Baltic birch back and a wood veneer bottom. Ball-bearing glides function smoothly even when the drawer is filled to its 100-pound capacity. Drawer interiors are hand sanded for a smooth feel and left unfinished.
Every Calvin storage piece includes at least one drawer with a cedar veneer bottom to repel fabric-eating insects and keep contents fresh.

How to sell your property:
4P's of selling ... In order of importance
#1 - Pricing is really all that matters!
The number of showings is a function of people wanting to look. It's not a function of agents wanting to show.
If you are not getting many showings, it means you have a lack of consumer demand, and you may need to lower the price.
If you are getting a lot of showings, it means you have a lot of consumer demand.
* Start with a price you want to get. We do a comparative market analysis for your subdivision within the Texas City Texas area.
* If you are not getting many showings, or offers, reduce the price.
* Many sellers think you have to start with the perfect price, but you do not. Starting high to test the market is ok as long as you do not let it sit on the market overpriced.
Many home sellers over price their homes. The biggest mistake is not making big enough price reductions often enough.
Your goal is to sell within a certain time frame and get the most for you home as possible.
No agent can tell you the perfect price to achieve this goal, but what we can do is give you the "Selling Formula" to achieve this goal.
#2 - Presentation
You want to make your home look as good as possible. This may help your home sell faster and for more money.
#3 - Putting on MLS
Without the MLS, you probably are not getting the exposure you need to bring in potential buyers. Also, most homebuyers
prefer to work with buyer agents.
#4 Photos
Help market your property and may increase the number of showings. We have companies in the Texas City Texas area, we can recommends to take photos. Pricing runs $79-$200.
We comply completely with SB 810 on all our listing packages (along with all rules and regulations by TREC, TAR, NAR & MLS Texas City Texas Boards - that includes a provision that requires a broker who represents a party or who lists real property under an exclusive agreement to: inform the party of material information related to the transaction, including the receipt of an offer by the broker, and answer the party's questions and present any offer to or from the party. The bill prohibits a broker who represents a party from telling another broker to negotiate directly with the broker's client. The bill further provides that, for purposes of 1101.157, a license holder who has additional authority to bind a party under a power of attorney or a property management agreement is considered a party to the lease or sale; an inquiry to an employee of a builder or developer about contract terms or forms does not violate §1101.652(b)(22) if the person does not have authority to bind the employer to the contract; the delivery of an offer to a party does not violate §1101.652(b)(22) if the party's broker consents to the delivery and a copy of the offer is sent to the party's broker; and provides an exception to the requirement of sending a copy of the offer to a party's broker if the party is a governmental agency using a sealed bid process that does not allow a copy to be sent to the broker.

A question etiquette consultants have been asked over the last few months is 'do I shake hands with someone for fear of catching swine flu?' A lot of people are becoming worried – perhaps paranoid – that if they shake someone's hand at the moment the chances of catching the H1-N1 virus increases. The same applies for social kissing.
The English Manner's John Robertson says, "Go ahead and shake their hands. You're going to pick up more germs anyway as soon as you touch the next door knob and you should just continue to wash your hands frequently and carry a little squeeze bottle of hand sanitiser if you're really worried".
A good sanitising product readily available in the UK is 'Flu Pak', which can be bought at all good pharmacies and drug-shops, as well as online.
It is rude to refuse someone's hand when proffered and this should be remembered at all times. On a medical note, swine flu is no different to normal influenza. Whilst it is harmful to pregnant mothers, the very young and the elderly, to everyone else, it is just the same as having common or garden flu. As with many recent diseases (I'm thinking bird flu) the media have been as helpful as ever in stirring up public paranoia with this disease.
Of course, if you have the disease then you should be in bed and not shaking hands with anyone, so it is a fair assumption to assume that people who have swine flu will not be proffering their hands to anyone.
John Robertson continues, "Shaking hands doesn't give you the virus, it doesn't pass through your skin. The infection is passed when you put your hands near your mouth or nose or your eyes. So wash your hands often and keep them away from your face; good advice at any time".
It would seem the best antidote to swine flu is common sense.

On Monday June 23rd a lucky few Chicago denizens were treated to an intimate performance at the Hideout by the leading lady of protest, Mavis Staples. Accustomed to appearances at large venues, particularly in her hometown - the Windy City itself - Staples played with a stripped down, raw and swampy three-piece band and just a handful of back-up singers, providing a rare opportunity for fans to get close and sweaty with a figure who has led the musical charge towards equality and justice for the past five decades.
Kicking off her set with Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth," Staples set the tone for the evening. Filled with righteous protest and joyful inspiration, Staples' song selections ranged from "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" -- what she described as the first song her father, gospel luminary Pops Staples, ever taught her -- to songs she sang in the 1960's marching alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, to her soul hit from the 70's "I'll Take You There."
The critics were floored:
"While performing a 14-song set that canvassed her 52-year career, Staples sang with a voice that has long distinguished her from the R&B greats of her era and those who reach for that crown today." -Mark Guarino, Chicago Tribune
"Anyone who was hearing this American treasure in concert for the first time learned precious lessons about where we have been and where we are today. After dealing "Freedom Highway" Staples stood tall and shouted, "My mind is made up, my heart is fixed." And she smiled. She was not alone." - Dave Hoekstra, Chicago Sun Times
"There are few living musicians who can lay claim to being America's conscience, even fewer who continue to make vital music. On Monday night at The Hideout, Mavis Staples proved she's still capable of both. But far more than merely being capable, the 68-year-old Staples showed she can light a fire, agitate for change or re-energize the American songbook." - Scott Smith, Time Out Chicago
"While [We'll Never] Turn Back formed the bulk of her Hideout set, tracks like "Down In Mississippi" and "We Shall Not Be Moved" turned from angry into hopeful, catching a swift ride on the steam train of Staples' vibrato and reversing the sunset peeking through the windows." -Steve Forstneger, Illinois Entertainer
"The performance...brought the Civil Rights movement and all those souls who marched, sang and prayed during that critical time, to the crowded little room. A tiny venue for Staples' big voice - bigger than the legend herself, nearly as big as the History she sings for -- the Hideout was standing room only and filled with the reverential." - Karen Zarker, Popmatters

Reclamation Plank Solid Hardwood
Our Reclamation Plank Collection by Heritage Woodcraft is a hand-scraped 7-7/8" wide-plank solid Acacia, Birch, or Oak hardwood species. It's solid construction and wide plank width is achieved by finger-joining three sections of solid hardwood together prior to the hand-sculpting of the plank. Once distressed, these three planks become one visually stunning plank. Entirely hand-scraped using three techniques: soft sculpting, edge distressing and chisel carving. Each plank unfolds its own story in exquisite sculpting design. Reclamation Plank handcrafted design is a declaration that authentic hand-sculpting cannot be machine imitated. The Reclamation Plank features four sided hand-carved beveled edges. It can be nailed down over wooden sub-floors.

Re: ChessCube V6.28 changelog
babasaheb wrote:What counts is results. When viewing any game in your history, there is a 'share' icon and you can choose to add the URL to your PC's clipboard/memory/whatever, for pasting into your browser's address link, to view/replay the game.
Note, the number of the URL reflects which site game this is, I'm confident they're assigned in sequence.
eg. just now, I finished a game (& opponent) at: http://www.chesscube.com/play/app/?open ... =241232929
similarly, about 24 hours ago, same thing, at: http://www.chesscube.com/play/app/?open ... =241068506
subtract the two numbers in the URLs and you get: 164,423 games in 24 hours
Now, I think some (1/3rd?) are aborts yet get assigned a game number. So, that means about 2/3rds of those or 109,500 games were played on this site in the past twenty-four hours.
I'm not seeing a mass exodus, here. Are you?
this makes ZERO sense for several reasons. Firstly, what are you comparing it to? You're not comparing it to a day from the past.
You would essentially need to find out how many games are played everyday for a full week. Then compare it to the same averages from multiple months in the past. Not to mention, the amount of 1-minute games and tournaments could vastly change the game total from day-to-day.
This new "update" IS bleeding people of Cubits. Sure, there are free Cubits given out, and if you want to devalue the PURPOSE of chess, and rig your games so you bet high amounts against weak opponents, then SURE, maybe you can do that. But let this take effect longer. Give it another month or so and tell me if your daily game amounts are going up or down. I guarantee you the trend will be FEWER games played.
The end product is that they're forcing people to get VIP if they want to stick around. If there was really great quality perks to being a VIP, then maybe I'd be interested. But I, and I'm sure most others, come here to play CHESS. That's kind of the reason we're all here isn't it?
Take away that and you're dooming yourself

A "process smell" which indicates that your organization is suffering from this antipattern is a focus on following repeatable processes instead of focusing on repeatable results. An example of repeatable processes is following the same route to work every day regardless of driving conditions. An example of repeatable results is getting to work on time every day, but being willing to change your route as required, bicycling into work instead of driving, taking public transit, and so on. Nobody really cares how you get to work each day (the process), what they really care about is that you got to work on time (the result). Sadly, we've been told for decades now that repeatable processes are critical to our success in IT, yet when you step back and think about that's really a reflection of a bureaucratic approach. On the other hand, a focus on repeatable results is a reflection of a more disciplined approach. Interestingly, the DDJ 2008 Process Framework survey found that given the choice that people would much rather have repeatable results over repeatable processes when it comes to IT.
Mistaking bureaucracy for discipline, or rigour if you prefer that term, is a reflection of the cultural damage that has occurred over the years in IT organizations as the result of traditional philosophies and techniques. Unfortunately, this mistaken belief is a significant inhibitor to software process improvement (SPI) efforts, in particular agile adoption efforts, which must be addressed if you're to be successful. Overcoming this challenge will require a significant cultural shift in some organizations, and many people (particularly the bureaucrats) will find this uncomfortable.

- Measured Capability Improvement Framework (MCIF)

I'd like to leave you with this parting thought: Bureaucracy is bureaucracy and discipline is discipline, please don't confuse the two.[Read More]
