How Often Should We Practice?
This answer largely depends on your goals and how serious you are with wrestling. While time doesn't always necessarily equal improvement, it does have a lot to do with it.
We have seven days in any given week. If you want to be a great wrestler, you should be looking to get some form of practice for 4-6 days of that. Competition before high school should always be looked at as practice. You should only ever be treating it as a "competition" during states. Tournaments are the perfect time to practice new moves in a less than ideal sitation (a real match).
Why Not Every Day?
One day per week must always be reserved for rest. We don't care how good you are or how tough you think you are. If you consistently practice 7 days per week your workouts will start to become counter-productive and the risk for injury will consistently rise. Even in college, it's NCAA rule that you are only allowed to wrestle 6 days out of the week.
It's often the sign of a good and responsible coach, who when he sees his wrestler uncharacteristically frustrated, to tell him to go home and take a day off. Otherwise, an injury will likely happen, which can put you out for months. While you're injured, your best opponents are getting better. You don't have time for that.
Red Hawk Practices
When it comes to our room and our comprehensive lesson plan, you will gain the most progress if you sign up and come to all 4 available days in the week. We go over a ton of technique, and it takes at least 3 times through the lessons until you become comfortable enough to use even a fraction of the moves.
It's fairly simple, the more you come the better you'll get.
Tournaments With Red Hawk
Go to as many tournaments as possible. In order to get used to a match situation and be able to perform you need a lot of time to acclimate to the change in scenario.
At practice there is no consequence for failure, so wrestlers have an easier time taking chances. In matches there are consequences, but they must learn how to wrestle as if there aren't. They must put everything out there during a match and because of that wrestle better than they would in practice.
Usually when someone is so afraid of losing, they hesitate, and end up losing. Through sheer numbers, you will get them past that fear. It will be just another match.
TL;DR (Too Long, Didn't Read)
The optimal is 4-6 days per week.

UPDATED: The U.K. public broadcaster's flagship network BBC One reached an average audience of 4.6 million, down from 5.4 million in 2013. LONDON – Sunday night's BAFTA Awards ceremony drew an average U.K. TV audience of 4.6 million, according to overnight ratings data. That was its lowest audience since 2010. The annual gala of the British Academy of Film and Television Awards once again aired on BBC One in the U.K. starting at 9 p.m. London time, or a two-hour tape delay. PHOTOS: BAFTA Awards: Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Prince William Hit the Red Carpet in London In 2013, the BAFTA Awards ceremony on the U.K. public broadcaster's flagship network had drawn its highest TV ratings since 2004, reaching an average of 5.4 million viewers. That was below the 6 million audience for ITV period drama Mr Selfridge, starring Jeremy Piven, but up from 5.3 million in 2012. The BAFTA Awards last year peaked with an audience of 6.2 million. The ceremony drew an average of 5.2 million viewers in the 2011 overnight ratings and 3.6 million in 2010. Hollywood turned out in force to the London awards ceremony Sunday to see Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave walk away with the top prize for best film. But he was beaten for the best director award by self-confessed London "local lad" Alfonso Cuaron, who picked up that honor for Gravity, which also won five other awards. American Hustle, with director David O. Russell and castmembers Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Christian Bale among the attendees, won three BAFTA Awards, including one for best original screenplay for Eric Warren Singer and Russell, makeup/hair, and in the supporting actress category for Jennifer Lawrence. The best acting awards went to Cate Blanchett for her role in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine and Chiwetel Ejiofor for 12 Years a Slave.

EXCLUSIVE! Paris Hilton Thought The Cocaine In Her Purse Was Gum…And We Know Why!
Her smug mugshot says it all, with a high powered and uber connected Vegas lawyer and a man about town boyfriend, Paris thinks her arrest and subsequent felony charges are all a joke!
Paris Hilton has become just as famous for her run-ins with the law as she has for her variety of business ventures and frequent red carpet antics, but has always managed to dodge any severe repercussions. This all came to an end however on Aug. 27 when the heiress was found with cocaine in her purse after being pulled over and has now been charged with felony cocaine possession. The only problem? She continues to behave as if this is not an issue — in fact, she claims she thought the drugs were gum!
"She had not seen it but now thought it was gum," said an officer's report. "She said several cosmetic items inside the purse were not hers."
HollywoodLife.com spoke with psychiatrist Carole Lieberman, author of the upcoming Bad Girls: Why Men Love Them & How Good Girls Can Learn Their Secrets, who said of Paris' behavior, "She takes pleasure in flaunting all the rules."
Dr. Lieberman went on to say, "Paris has never had boundaries set for her – not by her parents and not by the courts. Children who grow up without boundaries need to keep pushing the boundaries in order to get attention and to feel that someone cares."
That's not all either, the attention her peers are getting, even if negative, is possibly making her jealous according to Dr. Lieberman. "Paris is jealous of other young Hollywood celebs who have been monopolizing the headlines that once focused more on her – from Lindsay Lohan to Kim Kardashian and Nicole Richie. It's not likely that Paris set out to get arrested, but she has been partying to console herself for not having as much media attention as she would like."
Paris has taken all measures to soften the blow of her possible consequences. First, she hired high powered Las Vegas attorney David Z. Chesnof, whose former law partner just happens to be Oscar Goodman — the mayor of Las Vegas!
As for her boyfriend, 32-year-old Cy Waits, he is a man about town in Vegas and actually runs Tryst, the highly popular club in the Wynn where Paris was searched — though reports are now saying he has been fired following the incident.
Possession of cocaine in Nevada, regardless of the amount, carries a sentence of 1 – 6 yrs. and a fine of $5,000. No matter how connected Paris may be, that seems like a very tough sentence to get out of.
Perhaps this will finally be the wake up call Paris needs!

KOffice-1.1 Beta2 Released !
A second beta of KOffice-1.1 is now available. The improvements since the first beta are considerable, particularly in KWord. If you are looking for a stable and full-featured word processor under Linux, give it a try! This release also features improved filter support throughout the suite including better MS Word and MS Excel support, and a new Quatro Pro filter. You can read the full announcement on the KOffice web site.
Re: Doesn't run for me
Me too. Here is my errors (RH 7.1, KDE updated to 2.1.2):
[[email protected] /root]# kword
[[email protected] /root]# kspread
This info shows up in a terminal Window on the KDE desk top when I try to open the office apps. Had the same problem with aethera, but found there was also a lib file *.rpm. Installed the lib and aethera works, but Koffice still not.
I stalled Koffice 1.1 on my other SuSE system and all Koffice apps work. (?) Maybe RH rpm problem??
Love your desktop! It's finally made Linux palatable!!!
By Scott at Thu, 2001/05/24 - 5:00am
Re: Doesn't run for me
the problem is that you used the --nodeps option when installing the rpm and you shouldn't have done that.
the koffice rpm for redhat linux is compilled against kde 2.2alpha1 and requires that version of kde to run.

Re: KOffice-1.1 Beta2 Released !
Wow !!!
1.) How do i get continuous Page numbers into the footer ? Inserting a page-numer variable works fine, but the following pages show the same page number !
2.) Applying 2 columns to the main text frame through Format->Page->Columns results in strange behaviour when going to the following pages. Three or more columns works pretty fine !
Thanks to the whole K-Office-team !!! You're doing a great job !
By Tom at Tue, 2001/05/22 - 5:00am
Re: KOffice-1.1 Beta2 Released !
1) is a known bug, I have to find a way to update variables in copied frames
I don't understand 2). Two columns seem to work fine [except for a post-beta-2 bug with page removal when the last page is empty, I'm looking at this right now]. What is "strange behaviour" ? http://bugs.kde.org would be a good place to continue this discussion :-)
By David Faure at Thu, 2001/05/24 - 5:00am
Re: KOffice-1.1 Beta2 Released !
Oh, page removal (in the multiple-columns case) was probably broken in beta2 too. Found a nasty bug. Fixed :)

Re: for Webmaster
In Konqueror on this machine, I get a scrollbar if the window is less than 850 pixels wide. So if either your screen is 800x600 or your browser window doesn't fill the entire screen, it's possible you'll get a horizontal scrollbar.
By Maarten ter Huurne at Wed, 2001/05/23 - 5:00am
Re: for Webmaster
Hmmmm. I use Konqueror and the scrollbar doesn't appear until it's really thing, like 25% of my 1280x1024 screen(by then I would rather have the horizontal scrollbar rather than two words per line. It seems perfect to me. What version? I have 2.1.2
Maybe it is screen dependent.
By Henry Stanaland at Thu, 2001/05/24 - 5:00am
Problem found
There is a really long URL in one of the posts (about Mandrake 8 packages, that turned out to be beta 1). That URL is determining the window width: it is considered a single word and therefore not split over multiple lines.
The reason you didn't notice is that since I posted, this thread grew a lot. The post body with the long URL is no longer displayed on the main thread page. If you set "thread threshold" high enough (1000 should do :), you will see a horizontal scrollbar much sooner.
Either the browser or the site should split extremely long words. The browser is most capable of determining the best point to split, since it knows the window width. However, it may be difficult to decide for example which column in a table is too wide.

By Bojan at Thu, 2001/05/24 - 5:00am
khtml seems to want to keep every comment a decent width, whilst ie will squish a deeply nested comment to 2-3 words per line..
personally I like konqy's way better (no single comment will ever be larger than width of screen)
also note that in a 1024x768 window its all okay :)
By Jason Katz-Brown at Thu, 2001/05/24 - 5:00am
Re: for Webmaster
As a substitute for dragging sideways, you can use the mousewheel while the mouse is hovering over the bottom scrollbar (you *do* have a mouse with a wheel, don't you? They're so nice!). KDE's got lots of neat little features like that :-)
By not me at Wed, 2001/05/23 - 5:00am
Re: for Webmaster
Too bad that you can't have mice with two scrollwheels, since I REALLY hate scrolling with the keyboard :)
By David Watson at Fri, 2001/05/25 - 5:00am
Re: for Webmaster
Actually there *is* such a thing. You can buy mice with both vertical and horizontal scrollwheels. In fact, my current mouse can scroll horizontally. It has a little post in place of the wheel that acts like those little laptop mice that are in the middle of the keyboard. Push it up and it scrolls up, push it sideways and it scrolls sideways. Unfortunately, sideways scrolling only works in Windows. I don't think it's possible to do in X.

Re: KOffice-1.1 Beta2 Released !
Actually, what I want to know is why nobody ever mentions grammer checking(other OS's feature list went from spell checking to grammer checking about 5 years ago). Why not a generic grammer checking library could be created so that all Linux software could use it or is it next to impossible? ...does one already exist?
Doesn't StarOffice have grammer checking? If it does...let's borrow it.
By Henry Stanaland at Wed, 2001/05/23 - 5:00am
It is called grammAr not grammer. You don't even use the spell checking.
And basically grammar checking without real artificial intelligence is impossible and gives shitty heuristic results. PLUS it would only work in english, not in all the other languages. Anybody who needs a grammar checker, should get a new brain, not a new program.
By Moritz Moeller-... at Wed, 2001/05/23 - 5:00am
Re: grammar
I fully agree with you. Here in Italy, everybody I know disables "grammar checking" in Word soon after the installation (it just says bullshit).
I also think that even the need of "spell checking" is a cultural product. Here in Italy, everybody is assumed not to write spell errors (it's one of the goal of the primary school): if you write something with spell errors in it at the secondary school you automatically get a bad vote.
By Federico Cozzi at Wed, 2001/05/23 - 5:00am
Re: grammar
I totally disagree, spellchecking is essential. And so is auto-ma-tic word-split-ting (I'm not sure of the English word), especially if you set up a text in 2 or 3 columns.
By BL at Wed, 2001/05/23 - 5:00am
Re: grammar
is "hyphenation." :)
And yes, it's very useful, would like to see it improved! Small things like that, added together, are what make a word processor workable.
Agreed re: spellchecking! I am a decent speller, and not a terrible typist, but I make plenty (more than enough, let me admit) of spelling mistakes which a spellcheck option would eliminate. What I dislike is the annoying intrusive behavior of MS's spellcheckers which by default do things like kill two initial caps, even if that's what I *really mean.* (Please, guys, make that a selectable option, not the default! :))

Yes, Americans have spelling Olympiads. We call them spelling bees.
Look at http://www.everything2.com/ and search for spelling bee. One of the explanations you will find there is as follows:
by ErisDiscordia
Spelling bees are especially relevant for the English language, because its spelling is so highly non-phonetic. (I remember one grade-school teacher illustrating this by writing "PHOTI" on the chalkboard and informing the class that, given the wacky behavior of English pronunciation, it could even spell "fish" -- his (?) explanation was something like
"PH" as in "phoneme"

The normal one is
GH as in touGH.
this is from George Bernard Shaw,
PH kind of makes sense... GH does not!
By Rob at Thu, 2001/05/24 - 5:00am
Re: grammar
the gh comes from the v old english pronounciations. so night would sound close to the dutch nacht. the gh is like a ch (as in loch, said the scottish way) but a little softer I think. scots still has stuff like that but spelt nicht. to put it simply english was created by ppl who couldn't make the sound ch (like chi, in greek)
btw I think a grammar checker is v usefull if only to pick up double periods or to captialise words in an intelligent way. perhaps we could use this opportunity to create a decent grammar checker and not the crap M$ makes.

Re: grammar
I don't know anything about the Italian language but, evidently, you know English. You must know then that English is an inconsistent language. Spelling and pronunciation are often unrelated. Haven't you ever forgotten how to spell a word? Are Italian spellings more consistent than English spellings?
By kdeFan at Wed, 2001/05/23 - 5:00am

Yes, Italian spelling is very easy (with some obvious exceptions). On the other hand, its syntax is a nightmare - that's why MSWord doesn't understand it!

Yes,I also noticed the same thing.I was very surprised to see that native English speakers are such lousy spellers.In my country everyone is supposed to know how to spell the words and if you learn English and can't spell it we dont say "He's not too good at spelling",we say "He hasn't learned English very well".And I've noticed that foreigners are much better spellers both in their own languages and in English,than the native English speakers are.

Re: grammar
My bad spelling is proof that we need those features. I am not claiming to be the best speller in the world. I don't go to a liberal arts school....but I'll integrate the hell out of you though(we have "Integral Bees" not "Spelling Bees").
Besides why are you people so mean. If you are having family troubles or something, go see counseling, don't take it out on other people. IBM is wrong with their "Peace, Love, Linux" because you can't post something with a simple mistake and not have @$$ holes complaining and contradicting everything like they are right about everything. The reason I "didn't use spell checking" is because browsers don't have spell checking in text boxes. Perhaps they should...the way everybuddy(not everybody) spell checks your IM messages.
Grammer checking can be usefull though. For instance, "Neither John or Mike will go." You know the rule..."nor is to neither as or is to either." Or something like that. I always had positive results from grammer checking(especially at like 4:00a.m. when you can't tell the difference....beside it's not like it changes your paper...it only underlines the problem. Furthermore, grammer checking tells the difference between "their" and "there"
Yes, I typed grammer instead of "grammar" the whole time. Pero a mi no mi vale la madre.
By Henry Stanaland at Wed, 2001/05/23 - 5:00am
Re: grammar
Oh comeon, don't cry. :-) I just think there are more interesting things missing than grammar checking for one (important) language.
Perfect Hyphenation (latex-like), automatic indexes, better filters for rtf and other stuff.
Grammar checking is not really that useful. And that is just MNSHO.
By Moritz Moeller-... at Thu, 2001/05/24 - 5:00am
Re: grammar
I agree, there are more important things that should have priority. But you have to plan features from the beginning(not necessarily implement them), otherwise you end up with something that feels like it was glued together. One of our professors who has intimite knowledge with MS said one of their reasons for having bad code design is because it really isn't designed. They plan like 20% of the software features(the part people really need), and then throw the rest in later as best they can.
By Henry Stanaland at Thu, 2001/05/24 - 5:00am
Well, IF someone feels thata grammer correction for badly written english texts is a must, I would implemenet it as a normal commandline tool (ala ispell). Then the GUI programs could use this as a plugin.
I don't think you need to change any koffice design to integrate such a thing. It would also be useful (as far as this is possible...) for kmail, klyx...

Re: grammar
Spell checking wouldn't have picked up grammer - 'grammer schools' in the UK?
Any chance of Konqueror implementing a 'check spelling' option when you right-click on a text box?
I personally can put up with most grammar errors, except for apostrophes. For example, on a sign at a market stall there could be:
Carrot's 30p
The intention obviously being that carrots cost 30p however I want to see the 30p belonging to the carrot that can acrue wealth :-p
The other killer is 'its'. It's not too hard really but people don't get it:
The dog pulls on its lead< - no apostrophe.
I like England because it's cold - apostrophe since it is an abbrevation for 'it is' as opposed to indicating possession.
I have a lecturer who subtracts marks from assignments where apostrophes have been used correctly, and on the other hand I have one who just can't use them. This is one thing that irritates me about the way English is taught in the UK - primary school English is fine, learning SPG (spelling, punctuation and grammar). However, as soon as you go to high school it's over to the novels, plays and so on so the people who do well aren't the people who can write 'good English' but the people who can blag about plays.
Anyhow, just my 2c.
PS. I know I've probably used 'comma conjunction' several times in this posting...

Re: grammar
I agree that grammar checkers are usually useless,because computer can't recognize if the whole sentence is written correctly or not.And as for the spelling checkers,I agree with that Italian guy,depends on a language.I was personally very disappointed to see that most native English speakers are such terrible spellers,especially Americans.I've always thought that they have to be perfect at it because it's their own language and everybody knows how to spell their own language.It would be ridiculous if I had to open the dictionary to see how to spell the word from my own language.I wrote those words too many times to forget how to spell them:) And to be honest,native English speakers are not only bad spellers (much worse than most foreigners),but they don't even understand the most basic rules of their language.For instance,they don't know the difference between "to" and "too","you're" and "your","who's" and "whose",

Re: grammar
I've also noticed that English speakers (especially Americans) are bad spellers and very dependent on spell-checkers. Here in Greece we don't need spell-checkers at all,because it's understandable that that we know how to spell our own language.And most Greeks speak English too.But I've noticed that most people who speak English as a second language are better spellers than the native speakers???

Have your cake and eat it too : the treatment of contemporaneous relationships under the Property (Relationships) Act 1976

Although it is clear from the Act that a person can be in more than one qualifying relationship at a time, the courts have shown themselves to be reluctant to recognise contemporaneous relationships as falling within the ambit of the Act. Because of this, contemporaneous relationships will only be recognised where it is abundantly clear that the parties are living together as a couple. Sections 52A and 52B are designed to divide property between relationships, and do not override the usual rules governing the division of relationship property between the partners in a relationship. Sections 52A and 52B will apply after the court finds that the relationship property of contemporaneous relationships overlap, and they will only apply to those pieces of property which are found to be relationship property of both relationships. The first limb of the rule in sections 52A and 52B will be redundant as all property that is relationship property of a relationship is attributable to that relationship. Property which is relationship property of both relationships will be divided between the relationships in accordance with their respective contributions to its acquisition. Sections 52A and 52B work to the advantage of the common partner, leaving them with half of the total relationship property. Because sections 52A and 52B only apply if the court has made findings in respect of each relationship, it is to the advantage of the common partner to litigate both disputes simultaneously, rather than undergo successive settlements with each partner. Sections 52A and 52B can also be used to manipulate the outcome where only one of the relationships has ended, or, in the case of the common partners' death, where one of the partners has an interest in retaining as much of the relationship property as possible between themselves and the deceased common partners estate. Given the difficulties in applying sections 52A and 52B, and their fairly arbitrary outcome, they would be better replaced with an unambiguous provision which allocated specified shares to the relationships on a more objective basis.

NVIDIA has introduced its first Kepler-generation GPU product for high performance computing, and revealed some of the inner working of the new architecture. The announcement took place at the kickoff of the company's GPU Technology Conference (GTC) taking place this week in San Jose, California.
Kepler's HPC debut comes at time when NVIDIA has established itself as the go-to chip vendor for heterogeneous supercomputing. With Intel's MIC product launch several months away and AMD still primarily focused on the consumer space with its CPU-GPU Fusion processors, NVIDIA has enjoyed free reign in the HPC acceleration business.
And it appears to be turning into quite a business. IDC is reporting that 75 percent of total HPC customer will use GPUs by 2014. And according to Sumit Gupta, NVIDIA's senior director of the Tesla GPU Computing business unit, by the end of this year, 50 to 60 percent of the top apps at the big supercomputing labs around the world will be accelerated by GPUs. That level of interest is also reflected in CUDA toolkit downloads, which Gupta reports is occurring at the rate of one every 60 seconds. "We're seeing a true liftoff in the number of application accelerated by GPUs," he says.
In 2010, NVIDIA changed the game in HPC with the Fermi chips, introducing error corrected memory and some serious double precision floating point performance — 665 gigaflops, to be precise. Gupta believes the feature set they're bringing to the table with the Kepler architecture will provide the basis for same sort of technological discontinuity.
One of the more interesting pieces of the Kepler HPC technology is the so-called "Hyper-Q" capability. Essentially it allows the GPU to work on as many as 32 CPU-driven MPI tasks simultaneously. With Fermi, the GPU was only able to run a single MPI task at a time (although multiple tasks could be on-chip, waiting to be switched to). So if a task only happens to use a quarter of the cores, the remain three quarters of the GPU was idle. Now with up 32 tasks running concurrently, both the CPU host and the GPU accelerator should be better utilized, with less idle time all around.
Another notable Kepler enhancement is something the Nvidians call "dynamic parallelism." This allows the GPU to do a lot more processing independently of the CPU. The traditional model was for the CPU to send the GPU some work via a CUDA call; when it was done, the GPU would have to wait for more work from the host.
With dynamic parallelism, that kind of ping-pong processing can be greatly reduced. CUDA functions that previously would have been launched from the CPU, can now be called from the CUDA code itself on the GPU. Performance should be better since communication overhead between the two chips will be reduced. In essence, more of the application will end up on the GPU, allowing the CPU to free to do its own thing.
Perhaps more importantly, notes Gupta, is that this capability will allow developers to write applications for the GPU much more naturally, since much of the CPU-to-GPU calls can be done away with. And it will allow more complex and irregular types of applications (like adaptive mesh codes) to be ported more easily to the GPU. "This is a ground-breaking change," says Gupta.
But the fundamental upgrade to Kepler is its increased core count. To make that happen, the engineers did a complete redesign of the GPU's streaming multiprocessor (SM), the internal structure that provides thread processing. In Fermi, each SM contained 32 cores; while in Kepler, that's been bumped way up to 192.
Part of that was possible thanks to the smaller 28nm process technology for the Kepler silicon, but the engineers also freed up additional die real estate by compressing the control logic on the multiprocessor. The result is that each Kepler SM — now referred to as SM extreme, or SMX — has six times as many cores as its predecessor.
To go along with the extra parallelism, the NVIDIA engineers reduced the clock frequency those cores are running at by about half. In doing so, they were able to realize about three times the performance per watt of the Fermi GPU. If you're keeping score at home, that means a Kepler GPU that draws the same 225 watt TDP as the latest Fermi Tesla part should deliver just shy of 2 teraflops of double precision.
That product, however, will not be NVIDIA's first Kepler Tesla that it announced today at the GTC event. Known as the K10, this initial HPC Kepler offering will house two consumer-grade GK104 GPUs, the same chip used in the Kepler GeForce products that were introduced in March.
As such it lacks the nifty high-end Hyper-Q and dynamic parallelism features mentioned above. Plus it's rather underpowered in the double precision (DP) floating point department, managing only 190 gigaflops — less than a third that of the Fermi Tesla M2090.
Where the K10 shines is in single precision (SP), delivering 4.48 teraflops across the two GPUs, which is three and a half times the SP floppery of the Fermi M2090 hardware. This makes it especially suitable for applications like image/signal processing, seismic codes, and maybe some mixed precision algorithms in academia. According to NVIDIA, initial testing with LAMMPS, NAMD, seismic processing, and certain integer-centric defense codes showed performance increases between 1.5X and 2.0X compared to the Fermi M2090. Petrobras, the Brazilian oil and gas company, reported a 1.8X speedup on its seismic application with the K10.
The new card is also plenty fast at data transfer speeds, sporting 320 GB/sec of memory bandwidth and a host connection of 16 GB/sec, courtesy of PCIe Gen 3. Memory capacity is a respectable 8 GB, which is shared between the two GPUs on the card.
The K10 is shipping this month and will be initially available in products from IBM, HP, Dell, SGI, Appro, and Supermicro.
Further down the road is the K20, which will represent NVIDIA's first true Kepler-generation supercomputing Tesla. The K20 will be based on the GK110 GPU, which is the one built for HPC duty. It will fold in the Hyper-Q and dynamic parallelism technology, and will be fully outfitted for double precision. For the time being, NVIDIA is keeping mum on the peak performance, but this is the chip that could be flirting with 2 DP teraflops. In any case, we'll have to wait until later in the year to get the actual specs.
The K20 will be the Tesla deployed in "Titan" supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Lab, and in the NCSA's "Blue Waters" system at the University of Illinois. Some of new chips could be installed in these top supers as early as the fall, but volume production of the K20 is slated for Q4.
Although the multi-petaflop systems mentioned above will get first crack at the K20, this is the product NVIDIA is hoping universities and mid-sized installations start adopting to build their own petaflop supers. Gupta says Kepler-equipped supers of this size will be able to fit into 10 server racks and draw a relatively modest 400 KW of power, well within the reach of a modest-sized organization. If Kepler indeed becomes the enabling technology of petascale supercomputing for the masses, NVIDIA will have delivered another GPU that, once again, changed the game in HPC.

Environment New Jersey is hiring an experienced advocate to protect public health and the environment by expanding to 100% renewable energy and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. In the age of Trump, it is more critical than ever for the states to lead on policy. The Advocate will work with Environment New Jersey's director and our national program team as well as with our organizers, stakeholders and key coalition allies to build momentum and expand support for New Jersey's clean, renewable energy future.
For the last ten years, Environment New Jersey has played a leading role in building a bridge of New Jersey's renewable energy future. We have helped achieve victories for the state's environment to clean up our air and water and transition New Jersey to a clean energy economy—and to defend against the rollbacks and climate inaction at the state and national level. With new state leadership in the New Jersey State House and Gov. Murphy Administration, this is the time for the organization to be charting the path ahead for clean energy.
Historically, our research, grassroots education and mobilization, media outreach, coalition work and decision-maker education have mobilized public support for statewide environmental initiatives. This includes winning increased mandates for clean energy through a strong Renewable Portfolio Standard that requires New Jersey to produce 21% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020, increased clean car standards, and a solar power market that is still a regional leader. Each year, we reach hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans through our online e-activist network (which is 60,000 strong), newsletters, and our door-to-door canvassing campaigns.
New Jersey has faced the direct impacts of extreme weather through increased flooding and noreasters, extreme weather events like derechos and Hurricane Sandy and extreme heat and sustained high temperatures. But we also continue to have a robust clean energy sector and solar program that has taken off over the course of this decade, with about 2.2 gigawatts of clean energy. But we need to do more.
The clean energy advocate will help us to reach these clean energy campaign goals:
Expand Clean Energy: New Jersey has fallen behind on our clean energy goals compared to the actions of neighboring states. The advocate will work to build public support for clean, renewable energy and the jobs it provides, and to build the political support to achieve a clean, renewable energy future. Policies to support this vision include expanding the renewable portfolio standard to 50% clean energy by 2030 and 80% by 2040, achieving our off-shore wind goals and expanding energy efficiency programs, expanding our electric car infrastructure to be able to meet our clean cars goals and expanding solar power and battery storage technology. This will help New Jersey on a pathway to reach 100% clean, renewable energy future, as well as mobilize support from a diverse set of stakeholders, including mayors and city councilors, businesses, and the general public.
To win, we need to get more people engaged to press our decision-makers to outline their agenda for New Jersey's clean energy agenda. We need to get more people, more opinion leaders, more organizations representing diverse constituencies engaged in this effort, especially in our work through the Jersey Renews coalition.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Campaign Coordination: Working with our staff and our campaign allies to win ongoing support for local, state and federal policies to support clean energy policies. This will include building partnerships with allies, especially in the clean energy sector, and being responsible for meeting our tactical campaign goals.
Coalition Building: Cultivating relationships with diverse and powerful allies across the state and expanding the constituencies supporting our efforts. This will include building and working with a coalition of more than 50 key allies and getting them actively involved in our campaign including attending events, participating in press conferences, and tapping into their networks to promote our campaign.
Media and Visibility: Getting the word out far and wide, in the media and through other channels is a critical part of our work. By elevating the issue in the public debate, we can better educate and motivate our supporters and hold decision-makers accountable. Opportunities for visibility will include releasing reports, writing and developing materials, including press releases, developing talking points, op-eds, letters to the editor, in addition to social media materials and doing outreach to the media.
Grassroots Mobilization: Working with our staff to mobilize citizens in support of our campaigns both on and offline and develop new leaders. Providing compelling information and opportunities for action to our members and general public will be a critical component of winning our clean energy campaigns.
Recruitment: Help recruit new interns and new volunteers to increase our impact and build more power.
Candidates must have at least 1-3 years of relevant professional experience. Qualified candidates will have a demonstrated commitment to environmental and public interest issues and to citizen-based social change, as well as a track record of leadership. We're looking for goal-driven and results-oriented individuals who have excellent verbal, writing and analytical skills, the ability to speak persuasively in a charged atmosphere, and enthusiasm for the work.
Pay & Benefits
Target annual compensation for this position is commensurate with the relevant professional experience and/or degrees that a candidate has. Environment America offers a competitive benefits package.
Trenton or New Brunswick, New Jersey

When Step Up 2 The Streets appeared on my doorstep, I was apprehensive. I try to keep something of an open mind when I watch a film. "Ok," I tell myself, "Step Up 2 The Streets might be good, it might have good dancing, or maybe even some decent acting. I knew, however, there was very little chance I would like this movie. I was right.
Step Up 2 The Streets announces itself as movie full of silly incomprehensible plot holes in the first couple of minutes. A group of urbanish young adults enter a Baltimore subway car, don masks, and break into a hip-hoppity dance routine. The subway riders not involved in the street theater (all three of them, since it seems almost everyone in the car ultimately puts a mask on) deal with this annoyance the way you would expect; they scream for the cops. Huh? And the cops come running, because there is nothing more menacing in Baltimore than kids dancing. Wha? The kids, of course, escape using some of their mad dancing skilz. The news is full of their "lawless" adventures. I guess the drug murders in Baltimore were a little slow that night.
The dance crew goes by the name Four One Oh and includes Andie (Briana Evigan), who has all the street dancer cred of Miley Cyrus in an askew baseball cap and belly shirt. Andie's wild street dancing antics (what could be worse!) have exasperated her guardian and have her in danger of getting sent to live with her aunt in Texas. Fortunately, Andie's cousin Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum in a brief cameo), who was the subject of the first Step Up movie, helps her get into the Maryland School of the Arts, a snooty performance school run by snooty Blake Collins (William Kemp), and full of snooty ballerinas. Fortunately Blake's brother, the non-snooty Chase (Robert Hoffman), is down with street dancing and often pulls his hoodie up over his hat, so he and Andie bond.
Andie, naturally, doesn't fit in at MSA and is also booted from the Four One Oh after joining the snooty school. Boy, who saw that coming? Everyone! Can you guess the next "step"? Andie and Chase grab up all the misfits from MSA and faster than you can say "I want to learn how to fly. . .high!" form their own dance crew. There is only one thing that this dance crew can do - join "The Streets" dance-off and beat down those punks from the Four One Oh. Word. Do the kids still say Word?
All of this street dancing and street living and street cred is very Disneyfied and while the look is slightly rougher than High School Musical, we are definitely in the same territory. The plot is every "hey, let's grab all these losers and be winners by being ourselves, which is a-ok" movie you've ever seen. Most of the dancers can't act very well and Evigan (daughter of famous truck-driving monkey owner Greg Evigan) is not a particularly strong dancer.
The dancing is, naturally, supposed to be the thing with this movie. It's really a bunch of music videos strung together with a paper thin plot. It does save the film from being a total disaster as almost anyone can recognize the skill at work in some of the routines. Unfortunately, you can see that skill at work in every other music video on four or five different cable channels every hour of every day of the week. Why sit through this crummy movie to watch it?
The word is that Step Up 2 The Streets made enough to justify a third film in the series. I'm sure it will somehow involve a street kid and a rich kid coming together to show everyone how the power of dance and nice abs can bring people together. Hopefully that DVD will show up on someone else's door.
The DVD is billed as the "Dance-Off" Edition. I'm not sure if you can get a non-"Dance-Off" version, but I sincerely doubt it. There are quite a few extras so someone who liked the movie (teenage suburban girls, I would guess) will get a little bit more of the same with the DVD.
Although there is no commentary track, Director John M. Chu does provide commentary to the eight deleted scenes. The scenes total 16 minutes and provide some additional plot information, but are probably the most interesting thanks to the inclusion of two deleted dance routines. According to the box, the deleted dance scenes are from Jabbawockeez and West Coast Riders, never heard of them, but they are pretty talented. There is also a song montage sung by Cassie Ventura that was cut from the film.
Since the movie is little more than a group of loosely connected music videos, it stands to reason the DVD would have more music videos than I can previously remember seeing. Flo Rida, Missy Elliott, Cherish, Piles, and Brit & Alex provide videos. Most of the videos have scenes from the movie, so you get to see the whole thing again! Lucky you.
The disc also includes two decent featurettes. The ironically titled "Through Fresh Eyes: The Making of Step Up 2" talks about why the movie was made, the rehearsal process, the characters, the actors, and focuses quite a bit on director Chu and the impressive list of choreographers. I think it's an impressive list anyway, I've never heard of them, but they are discussed like they taught Fred Astaire to kick-it Old Skool. It has tons of quick cuts and was put together for people with the same attention span issues that make music videos so popular. That said, Chu seems like a nice guy and he does genuinely have a passion for street dancing, which comes out in the featurette.
The second featurette is "Outlaws of Hip Hop" and covers the dancers who are part of the fictional Four One Oh crew. They are shown in rehearsal and talk about how they got into dance and why they love it. It's always nice to hear people with skill discuss their love of what they do.
The final extra is a prank video by Robert Hoffman. It's stupid. The two featurettes don't make this DVD interesting enough to purchase or even rent. It's a nice crisp transfer but that can't compensate for all the deficiencies. Better to just flip on your cable TV and watch a few hip-hop videos.

Stormhoek's Hugh MacLeod has been travelling around jolly old England offering grocery shoppers samples of the South African wine he helps market.
Johnnie Moore has some interesting things to say about the activity.
It's all a million miles away from high-powered branding from the top down. You let go of the trappings of high office when you follow this path, and get down to the grassroots, taking the risk of having some ordinary, rambling conversations in the real world, instead of broadcasting brand mantras over mainstream media.
David Brain, President & CEO Edelman Europe also chimes in.
It's a trip in search of love, by a blogger with a bottle of wine hosted by Tesco. Geeks, wine, love, supermarkets. What's not to like. It' s a classic odyssey.
I appreciate that this is a case where social networking is actually social.

There's a lot riding on tonight's debate. Is it the most consequential town hall debate of all time?
Consider how quickly the electoral landscape has shifted. Despite Mitt Romney's many unforced errors, and Barack Obama's substantial advantage as an incumbent, the race is at best all tied up and at worst, from Obama's perspective, sliding precipitously out of control. In swing states, significant numbers of rural voters and women are gravitating toward Romney, giving him a near-landslide in the first case and breaking even for him in the second.
The president lost the battlefield initiative from virtually the first minute of the first debate, and has yet to regain it. The single most important question looming over tonight's town hall is whether there's anything he can do to change that.
The Benghazi debacle does not bear full responsibility for this transformation -- it was hardly a blip on America's radar during the first debate -- but without it, the current phase of the campaign would be much different. In the Vice Presidential debate -- a draw that didn't do much to move the needle -- Benghazi put Joe Biden back on his heels hard, right out of the gate. He clearly regained his footing, but it's hard to interpret Biden's assertive-to-aggressive performance outside the context of the embarrassing, awkward, and weak opening moments of that debate -- moments Biden was, no doubt, keen to avoid slipping back into. Mission accomplished -- but Benghazi was simply shoved back into the closet, not dragged out and resolved.
That's in large part because Benghazi cannot be 'resolved' as a campaign issue. It is something that continues to happen, in real time, in the Obama administration. Politically speaking, the real problem with Benghazi for the president is not in the particulars of who died, when, or why. (Those are all grave matters in the real world that overlaps with but extends far beyond the world of election-year politics.) It's simply that what voters think of as Benghazi exists inside the administration, not off in Libya. Who lied, who knew what when, who passed the buck, who failed to assert leadership -- these are classic scandal-born campaign questions, and there's nothing Obama can do to shut them down except somehow make voters care a lot less about them. Answering the questions won't cut it -- whether his answers are truthful or satisfying, they can only raise the stakes, and the attention surrounding them.
And the stakes are already much too high for the White House because Benghazi neatly, dramatically undercuts Obama's brilliant triumph over the divided and demoralized GOP on foreign policy. Every time someone says Benghazi -- including Obama -- a chance to say bin Laden is gone. Benghazi is so dangerous because it replaces the key talking point Obama has long used to continue to discredit Republicans, after he had gained control of Iraq policy, in the one area of governance where their legitimacy and trustworthiness had been historically unquestioned.
Now that striking, unprecedented advantage has been neutralized. Lashing back at Libya can't restore it. (If only the president could order drone strikes on the bad vibes in the White House!) Sucking up precious town hall time to address it can't either. And, what's worse, going on the offensive in other policy areas probably won't work in this debate, either, because town hall attendees respond so poorly to aggro candidates.
That's all the more bitter a pill for the president to swallow because, despite Paul Ryan's canned claim to the contrary, Benghazi doesn't really mark the "unraveling" of the "Obama foreign policy." It could very well be that Obama's Iraq and Afghanistan policies, for instance, are ultimately doomed to failure. And it's likely that the spread of terror groups into Africa will continue apace. But any administration that followed the outlines of an at all interventionist foreign policy -- one neoconservatives or neoliberals would embrace -- would have likely encountered the same sort of attack on Benghazi as the one that actually happened. The attack was a consequence of the structure of the geopolitical landscape. The fact that its aftermath has become a campaign issue? That's a consequence of the structure of the Obama administration. The loss of life at Benghazi was tragic and unnecessary, but the overrun and destruction of the consulate -- so far as we know -- hasn't had much of an impact. Politically, however, the scandal is in Washington, not Libya, and its time frame begins after the attack ended, not before it began.
The administration has to struggle with Benghazi because it failed to respond to the possibility of scandal swiftly, decisively, and effectively. The attack itself might not tell us very much about the particular merit of Obama's foreign policy, but the response to the questions that came so quickly to define it speaks volumes about the character of Obama's presidency.
Instead of cowardice or appeasement, Obama's failure to have taken responsibility all on his own -- a la JFK -- betokens, I think, a judgment on Obama's part that he really hasn't done anything wrong. It's an attitude that seems to crop up endlessly in this president's political dealings, and in his self-appraisals. Because it speaks to how the president's view of himself affects the way that he governs, Benghazi is a domestic issue as well as an international one. That's good news for Romney, bad news for Obama, and quite the late-season gift for media and campaign junkies, who are about to witness a degree of excitement in this race that had seemed until this month far out of reach. Neither Obama nor Romney are particularly strong candidates; the possibility always existed that one would collapse before November, and for a hot minute the 47% moment looked like the beginning of the sudden end for Romney. That moment is over. When the worst of it came for Romney, he somehow survived. Now comes Obama's turn.
UPDATE: Romney's game plan for tonight comes out:
"I think Governor Romney, quite properly, will be asking questions, probing, and trying to ask the president to man up, accept his responsibility and explain to the American people the failure that resulted in four American deaths," Williamson said.
Again: those deaths are grim and dramatic, to say the least, but they can't be undone -- and Obama can still powerfully take responsibility for what's done and can't be undone. It's much harder for him to get declarative about the buck of administrative dysfunction stopping at his desk.

HDI Bulletin
Handover of Japanese-Funded Equipment Launches Expanded Production
June 6, 2013 - For Immediate Release
at the Mushroom Center in Quang Tri
Cam Lo, Quang Tri (4 June 2013) – The Humpty Dumpty Institute and Project RENEW are pleased to announce the handover of equipment from the Government of Japan in support of the "Mushrooms with a Mission" (MwM) program in Quang Tri Province, Vietnam. On June 4, in Cam Lo, Minister, Deputy Chief of Mission, Hideo Suzuki, of the Japanese Embassy officiated at a formal ceremony marking the handover. This state of the art mushroom production equipment for the MwM Mushroom Center in Cam Lo will enable HDI and Project RENEW to substantially increase the production of mushroom spawn bags for use by MwM farmers in Quang Tri Province. The grant of $123,000 has been used to purchase equipment including steam boxes, mushroom driers and HEPA filters, all necessary tools to more efficiently produce mushroom spawn and ready-to-fruit blocks for growing mushrooms. The equipment will play an important role as the program expands to include more farmers and make a significant contribution to the sustainability of mushroom farming in the region.
"Mushrooms with a Mission" empowers landmine survivors by providing them with the tools and knowledge necessary to grow, market, and sell mushrooms and earn extra income to provide for their families. Mushroom growing is an ideal livelihoods activity for disabled survivors of UXO and landmine accidents. The program also benefits female heads of households and ethnic minorities.
A plaque in recognition of the new equipment was unveiled today at the Mushroom Center in Cam Hieu Commune by Mr. Hideo Suzuki of the Japanese Embassy and Mr. David Prettyman, Chief Strategic Officer of HDI. Also in attendance were Mr. Nguyen Duc Chinh, Vice Chairman of Quang Tri Province People's Committee, representatives of the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Science and Technology, and local representatives from Cam Lo, Dakrong, Gio Linh and Trieu Phong districts, as well as representatives of MwM farming families and staff of Project RENEW and HDI.
According to Ms. Jeanne Samuel, HDI Vietnam Country Director, "The Japanese-funded state-of-the-art production equipment will increase the production of mushroom blocks from 30,000 to more than 300,000 per month. It will allow expansion of Mushrooms with a Mission; increase local mushroom production; as well as funding more UXO and landmine removal."
David Prettyman, Chief Strategic Officer of HDI, thanked the Government of Japan and the Japanese Embassy in Hanoi in particular adding, "HDI enthusiastically welcomes Japan as a strong supporter of Mushrooms with a Mission. As Japan has consistently been a critical leader in the fight against UXO and landmines worldwide, Japan's contribution to the program is very considerable. Japan has made enormous investments in countries around the world to assist landmine survivors and to educate populations around the world about the dangers of landmines and UXO. Vietnam is no exception."
Along with Japan, the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the United States are key funders of this project.

Afghanistan/French soldier death
Paris, June 8, 2010
President Sarkozy was extremely sad to learn of the death of an NCO from the Calvi 2nd Foreign Parachute Regiment. During a reconnaissance operation launched south of Tagab today, a sergeant was fatally wounded in an anti-tank rocket attack from Afghan insurgents while taking part in a cover mission. Three of his fellow soldiers were wounded during the same operation.
This NCO paid with his life for France's commitment to help bring peace and security to the Afghan people.
President Sarkozy expresses his most sincere condolences to the bereaved and shares their pain. His thoughts also go to his comrades-in-arms.
The Head of State reaffirmed his support for the Afghan people and authorities. He forcefully condemned the mindless violence and expressed France's determination to continue working within the International Security Assistance Force. This UN-mandated force has been assigned the mission of contributing to the re-establishment of stability, restoration of peace and to development in Afghanistan./.

The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas recently revealed that he has collaborated with Savages singer Jehnny Beth, with reports now claiming that the duet will be released in December.
As reported by Stereogum, online listings allege that the pair have covered 'Boy/Girl', a 1983 collaboration between Danish punk band Sort Sol and US No Wave artist Lydia Lunch.
A leaked press release states: "The collaboration stems from the pair's mutual admiration after meeting while on tour in South America, and having an interest in finding a way to work together. The idea to collaborate became to take shape when [Savages producer] Johnny Hostile suggested the song to Jehnny."
"It really made sense when I heard it for the first time. It was the perfect song for Julian and I," Beth is quoted as saying.
Casablancas adds: "I had never heard the song before and still have no idea what the hell the words are talking about. It sounds like a Danish dude trying sound like he's saying English sounding words".
The single will be released digitally on December 4, with a seven-inch coming later on December 18.
Listen to the original song below.
The Strokes released their last album 'Comedown Machine' in 2013, with frontman Julian Casablancas recently revealing that the band are working on new music.

I continue to be amazed by the audacity of the guys that are pushing the sale of illegal steroids to our kids.
One of the websites where steroids are sold released this press announcement today.  It announces that they are launching a campaign to educate people about steroids.  They suggest that as long as your kids are dealing with "experts" like them, that they can feel secure knowing that they've purchased quality products and are being provided with instructions to use them in a safe manner.
Parents, isn't that what you want for your kids? Â A website where they can go to purchase prescription-only drugs and feel "safe" that these drugs are okay for them to use . . . Â unbelievable!
Note: Â I deleted the name of the company from their press release. Â I do not want people to be getting steroid marketing messages from our website.
XXXX.com, a well-known online store for purchasing steroids, has decided to launch a campaign to educate people about these bodybuilding drugs.
Online PR News - 03-January-2011
It is necessary for suppliers to educate people about their products, and when the product to be sold are steroids, then it becomes more important. XXXX.com, the online supplier of steroids, has realized this after being in business for a considerable long time. It has now decided to launch a campaign to provide information to people about steroids.
Speaking about the need to dispense proper info regarding the steroids, a top manager with XXXX.com commented, "We have noticed that most people are skeptic about using steroids fearing that these drugs would have negative effect on their health. We need to work to remove these kind of misconceptions about steroids. So we would soon be launching a campaign to tell people how steroids can give your body the positive push."
There is a lot of misconception among people about the steroids. Most think that it is a product consumed mainly by bodybuilders and athletes to enhance their performance. However, steroids like Winstrol can be used by anyone to build muscles and increase capacity of the body, provided the steroid is consumed with advice of a medical practitioner.
As another dealer associated with steroids points out, "Even when you take medicine for something like temperature, you consult a doctor. So what is negative about consulting a doctor for consuming steroids dose for getting intended effect. A steroid is also a drug made for producing a specific effect on the body."
About the Company
XXXX.com is an online steroid store where people can shop for any steroid they want. With experts in charge of the store, you can be assured of the quality of the drugs available. With them you can buy Winstrol steroid cycles tablets which can provide the cutting edge to the bodybuilders and the athletes.

- Trucking Industry – Truck Fittings
Computer Chip & Chemical Manufacturers
You may be asking yourself, what do computer chip manufacturers and chemical manufacturers have in common? Well, for one thing, some of the same equipment is used to make both products. Chemical manufacturers and computer chip manufacturers have piping system requirements that exceed the typical corrosion applications. Internal surface roughness, usually measured as RA or RMS, is critical to these applications. Pockets and crevices on the ID at the weld and gouges/scratches on other ID surface areas provide potential for contaminating opportunities. Wall mismatch and mis-alignment can also be troublesome. Pipe with wall thickness on the low side of the tolerance welded to fittings on the high side of the wall thickness tolerance create additional places where contamination can occur.
Close Tolerance Fittings
By matching close tolerance pipe with close tolerance pipe fittings a superior ID surface at the weld can be achieved. Subsequently, Bestweld manufactures close tolerance buttweld pipe fittings specially designed to be easier to fit and easier to weld. By controlling the shape of the outlet ends of the fitting and making sure the shape closely corresponds to the straight pipes ID and OD, and by holding angularity and wall thickness tolerances to a higher standard, Bestweld Brewery Quality and Pharmaceutical Quality buttweld pipe fittings can be welded using automatic welding machines that deliver a superior ID surface. A narrower wall thickness tolerance (about 50% of the standard industrial tolerance) and a tighter roundness tolerance eliminates most wall mis-match issues. Most buttweld pipe elbows are formed over an internal mandrel . Bestweld utilizes a compression bending process that minimizes both back wall thinning and ID surface scratches. Bestweld uses ASTM A312 welded or seamless, fully finished minimum wall (fitting quality) pipe as starting material. Close attention to starting material requirements and proprietary bending, sizing and end finishing techniques help Bestweld deliver buttweld pipe fittings with consistent wall thickness, roundness (shape of OD/ID) and squareness (angularity). Bestweld's close tolerance buttweld pipe fittings have square cut ends, no ID chamfer or OD bevel required. In light wall Sch. 5 and Sch. 10, pipe fittings can typically be fusion welded without filler metal.
Buttweld Fittings

Bestweld was incorporated in September 1981 and is a veteran owned and operated company. Through innovative pipe fitting solutions and hard work Bestweld has grown to employ over thirty people.

A city built into the cliffs overlooking Lake Umbra; many towers and bridges and streets that grew by happenstance rather than by any central planning. In other words, a labyrinth of narrow streets and allys, with house built upon house built upon shop or guildhall. Only a lower level of hewn stone built into the rock of the cliffs keeps the whole city from blowing away in one of Lake Umbra's infamous storms. The city that never sleeps and never shuts up. Being the main gateway to the south, has a lot of wealth (and smuggling, and other illegal activity) passing through it. The craftsmen have banded together into tight-knit guilds for protection against thieves and the government—but I repeat myself.
The ruler is the Lord Mayor Superior Ylradin d'Reven, who claims direct descent from the near-legendary founder. His offices overlook the bay, and are open for your bribery and graft needs late into the night. For those who lack gold, he is willing to trade favors, and is the master of making offers one can't refuse. He operates through a cadre of thirteen Bosses, each of whom fought and assassinated their ways up the ranks to their current position and are extremely adept. Two of the Bosses are rumored to be wizards. (This is of course a silly rumor—one is a sorceror and the other is a warlock). The Bosses have carved the city into informal and ill-defined territories, and there is regular street-warfare at the boundaries. The Lord Mayor Superior encourages these to keep any of his bosses from getting too strong.
Known Locations / People
The Sword and Amulet Inn ( click here), run by innkeeper Aldref, who is basically Jeremy Irons' version of Alfred. Party has taken rooms on the second floor down. They have access to a balcony overlooking the canal.
The Trickster and Flagon Tavern ( click here), north of the Bazaar, near a monolith of rune-carved stone. Its neighbors include the grand hall of the Merchants Guild and a simple traveler's shrine. It is a simple wooden shack, with a single salvaged stone wall and a dirt floor covered in straw. It is exceptionally filthy, and poorly lit by a few tallow candles. Accommodations consist of a few small rooms with straw mats. The Tavern is said to be atop the lair of the infamous Worm Cult.
Abby of the Sisters of Solace, an order of veiled nuns who tend to the dead and dying (something Ravensgate has no shortage of). The Abby is marked by a crow which hangs in a cage outside the door and questions visitors who would seek entrance. The Sisters are a surprisingly cheerful and engaging lot.
Kenku slums
*Greywing, the elder of the longhouse
*Skybreacher, the guard/thief
*Seaspray, Greywing's grandaughter
Dalric the Sage, unusually young and hyperactive, lives in an enormous if run-down mansion just off the Bazaar
The Bosses
Vaclav – actually maintains his residence on the Kite
Vela Ristevski – rumored to be a wizardress. Vela is the youngest of the bosses. She was installed 7 years ago and took Stanicek's territory. She relies on her own power and not an army of thugs. She is likely a Warlock. Stanicek and Kvetoslav are Vela's chief rivals.
Stanicek Romanic – boss in the Kenku district, have been no purges since he came to power fourteen years ago. Has loosely allied with the party; obviously intends to develop these contacts from the Empire (as he believes them to be) to become the new Lord Mayor.
Dvorkin – controls the main docks, gets a cut out of everything shipped across the lake
Dmitri – controls the Bazaar, does not tolerate failure, styles himself a businessman.
Sava Durnovo –
Gradimir Volinskaya – frequently clashes with Dimitri over control of parts of the Bazaar, rumored to have studied magic for many years
Dobrica Hayek
Jasen Volinin
Kvetoslav Janda – controls the manor district around the lake and is therefore the gatekeeper to many of the wealthiest citizens of the city
Alexi – young and brash, but allied with the party after they saved his life from a sorcerous assassination attempt.
