When the transfer window opened on 1 January, it provoked the proverbial flurry of activity. And as coaches and their superiors define and pursue their targets, FIFA.com would like to hear who you, the supporters, would like to see your team sign.
It's likely that a particular player springs to mind. But does your side need one of his position? Would its playing style suit him? Could he adapt to the new surroundings? And, of course, could your team realistically tempt him?
These are among the questions you will have to consider before debating who your team - and rival ones - should sign.

The Hispanic community continues to grow and integrate itself in the world of professional sports, including NASCAR race car driving. Aric Almirola is the only Hispanic driver in the Sprint Cup Series, and one of his recent big wins was the 2014 Coke Zero 400 in Daytona. He currently drives the Richard Petty Motorsports No. 43 Ford Fusion sponsored by Smithfield.
Growing up in Tampa, Florida and being of Cuban descent, he has always been proud of his roots. He is a well-respected figure in the world of professional racecar driving, reminding us that the Hispanic community can achieve anything with hard work and dedication. Recently we asked Aric Almirola to talk to us about his heritage and career in NASCAR. He also shared with us one of his favorite recipes: Cubano Sandwiches.

Mamiverse: How does it feel to represent the Hispanic community in your profession?
Aric Almirola: It makes me proud to represent the Hispanic community in NASCAR. I feel like it has always been the All-American sport, and the Hispanic community is a big part of America.
Mamiverse: Based on your own experience how could someone interested in the sport become a professional racecar driver?
Aric: Racing is very different than other sports, and also very expensive. Any child that wants to play a stick and ball sport can pick up a $25 glove and play baseball. I was very fortunate to have a family willing to make that investment for me to race.
Mamiverse: Do you consider yourself a role model for young Hispanics?
Aric: I do consider myself a role model. The biggest thing I realized growing up in a Hispanic community in Florida, is that my family had to work very hard for everything they got. Seeing both sides of my family being able to achieve what they have, showed me that if I wanted something bad enough I had to work hard for it.
Mamiverse: Is it important that your children connect with your Cuban heritage? If so, what are some things you do to ensure they are familiar with their Hispanic roots?
Aric: I think that it's important that they know about it. We haven't forced the heritage or the language on them. They are still young, but as they grow up, I certainly want them to know and understand where their family is from.
Mamiverse: What is your favorite Cuban dish you enjoyed growing up that you still look forward to having? Is there one dish in particular that you've mastered?
Aric: My favorite Cuban dish is piccadillo, which is ground pork mixed with potatoes, raisins, a lot of seasoning and rice.
He's also a big fan of the Cubano Sandwich. It's easy to make and always a family pleaser.
Serves: 6
Prep Time: 20 min.
Cook Time: 50 min.
low-carb panini bread
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
12 oz thinly sliced cooked Smithfield Marinated Pork Tenderloin

2 Tbsp. melted butter or coconut oil for Panini press

2. Bake tenderloin 20 minutes per pound until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
3. Allow tenderloin to rest for 5 minutes prior to slicing.
4. Preheat panini press to medium high.
5. Cut panini bread into 4-inch squares. Cut each square horizontally through the middle to make two square slices.
6. In a small bowl, mix the mustard and mayonnaise. Spread one slice of each sandwich square with the mixture.
7. Divide sliced ham and sliced pork tenderloin between sandwich squares. Top with pickles and Swiss cheese.
8. Brush panini press with melted butter or oil. Place sandwiches onto the press and close lid. Cook until bread is golden brown and has grill marks and cheese is melted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

We've been to several of the San Marcos locations in OKC, and like them. Back on 23 February, Raegan and I were headed to a Girl Scout shooting club event, and we needed dinner. San Marcos was close.
We both had our usual meals. Raegan had seafood mixed with veg, and I had pork guisado chili verde. Both were great as expected.
We had iced tea that was strong and good. Service was friendly and fast. Our check was $26.30. I like the chainlet, they make great Mexican food.

How it works
There are thousands of empty properties in the UK, including flats, houses, churches, libraries and offices. Many are in places where it's usually very expensive to live, such as town centres and beautiful countryside. They may be empty for many reasons – waiting to be sold, or for planning permission, or while the owners are overseas. Ad Hoc puts these buildings back into use, helping both the property owner and people looking for low cost accommodation. You get a great place to live and the local community benefit from you simply living there because a building that would be vacant is now alive and cared for.
Contract lengths vary, depending on the property. When your contract comes to an end, we will try our best to find you new accommodation.
We offer:
- Choice of property and location to suit you
- Live in places perhaps you could not normally afford
- Low cost rooms – from just £160 per month including bills
- Meet new people from similar backgrounds, all approved by Ad Hoc
- Flexible short-term contracts – you can leave by giving just 28 days' notice
- UK-wide locations

BYOD management: Using a device catalog to control users
Having a BYOD policy doesn't mean allowing every device onto the network. A BYOD catalog sets rules for which devices and applications are feasible.
Editor's Note: Keith Townsend, author of the Virtualized Geek blog and chief enterprise architect at Lockheed Martin,...

Enjoy this article as well as all of our content, including E-Guides, news, tips and more.
is a new addition to the Fast Packet lineup. In this post, he warns that BYOD management means educating users and developing a BYOD catalog that outlines which devices and applications they're allowed to use.
The challenges with bring your own device, or BYOD management haven't changed much in the more than 15 years that I've been involved with network computing. The only thing that has changed is the number of users able and wishing to connect their own devices to the corporate network.

Is the Rackspace OpenStack cloud really open?
VMware or OpenStack: Who will win the hearts of the data center?
Should employees pay their own BYOD service bill?
Previously, only executives could afford to purchase mobile devices that were capable of connecting to the network. In my earlier days, I had a group of executives who caught the Compaq Libretto bug. The Libretto was a 7-inch laptop that required a 4-year-old's finger to use the keyboard. My then-CIO brought one into a meeting with some other execs and used it to dial up to the corporate network and check his cc:Mail (I'm dating myself). The trend caught on throughout the executive suite, and before I knew it, I had my chief technology officer coming to my cube asking to install Windows NT on his newly purchased machine.
These days, however, devices are commodities. More than 50% of U.S. mobile users have smartphones, and I bet that in a corporate environment the penetration is even higher. If your office is anything like mine, the majority of those users want to connect their devices to the network, and they want to do more than check their mail.
I've long accepted that end users want a choice in computing devices beyond the not-so-sleek BlackBerry 8700. In order to attract and retain the best talent, we, the stodgy IT old guard, will need to accommodate a workforce that achieves higher productivity based on their ability to work outside the office, even at their own expense.
But allowing BYOD doesn't mean that end users should bring any device of their choice and be given unmitigated access to the network. It's one thing to allow an iPhone to connect via ActiveSync and receive mail and calendaring information; it's a completely different scenario to allow that same phone Wi-Fi access onto the corporate network. IT managers must educate end users on the dangers of bringing just any device into the network.

The reasoning behind limiting BYOD goes further than compromised security. End users want devices that get great support and perform well. But how many devices and applications, spread across how many manufacturers and service providers, can your organization reasonably support with good performance?
The answer could be to establish a support BYOD catalog, which would give your user community a choice of devices and approved applications. This gives your end users the ability to choose their device within the scope of supported configurations. That in turn results in a consistent end-user experience.
Which devices you include in your BYOD catalog will depend on your security requirements. A good start would be to look at your mobile device management (MDM) platform's requirements. MDM providers should include a list of the devices and carriers they support. The fact that the iPhone made the cut for my MDM provider a couple of years ago helped make it a great success.
What challenges have you faced in implementing restrictions on your BYOD services? I'd love to hear.

Special elections concerning proposed amendments can be conducted if approved by a majority of the Governing Council. If approved by a majority of the members of the Caucus for Women in Statistics voting, the amendment shall take effect immediately.
This document includes amendments to the Constitution and By-laws as of July 26, 2016. The previous amendments to the Constitution were accepted on July 31, 2014 and May 1, 2000.
The Caucus for Women in Statistics welcomes everyone with an interest in promoting women's success in statistics, biostatistics, and related fields.
SECTION 1: Members
Membership in the Caucus shall be open to all persons who support its purposes and objectives. The membership of the Caucus during any calendar year is composed of those persons who have paid their Caucus dues for that calendar year. The list of Caucus members will be centrally stored electronically and maintained by the membership chair. Access to the membership list shall be decided by the Governing Council, with individuals given the option to have their contact information remain anonymous if a directory is made public.
SECTION 2: Governing Council
As specified in the Constitution, the Governing Council of the Caucus will consist of
1. The President-Elect, President, and Past President;
2. Past Past President;
3. The Secretary and Treasurer;
4. Program Committee members;
5. Liaisons to and from other organizations as previously approved by the Governing Council;
6. Communications Committee Chair;
7. Membership Chair; and
8. The Historian (non-voting member).
Elected officers (President-Elect, President, Past President, Past Past President, Secretary, Treasurer and Program Committee Members) serve terms as specified in the Constitution.
The terms of the appointments of liaisons to and from other organizations are negotiated by the Executive Committee in conjunction with the participating organization. For example,
– The Liaison from the Statistical Society of Canada is appointed according to their rules and procedures.
– The Caucus has had a Representative to International Statistical Institute's the Committee on Women in Statistics since 2007; see http://www.isi-web.org/sections/special-interest-groups/44-com/com/131-cws. The Past Past President holds this position; but if she cannot attend the ISI meeting that occurs during her term, the President will appoint someone to serve in her absence. The President is a representative to the ASA Committee of Women in Statistics. Our vision is that liaisons will be established with other statistical societies, as well.
Other officers on the Governing Council are appointed by the President.
In the event that an officer (other than the President, President-Elect, Past President or Past Past President) is unable to complete his/her term on the Governing Council, the President will appoint a replacement. In the event that the President or President-Elect is unable to complete his/her term, the Executive Committee will identify a replacement, subject to the approval of the Governing Council. (A majority of the remaining members of the Governing Council constitutes approval.) In the event that the Past President or Past Past President is unable to complete his/her term, no replacement will be made, but the President will appoint someone else to serve as Chair of the Nominations Committee, if necessary.
SECTION 3: Elections
The Caucus will have an annual election. Officers elected during the Caucus election will begin their term of office in January of the year immediately following the year in which their election was held. Ballots shall be separately emailed to all members of the Caucus in good standing as of February 1. To be counted, ballots must be received by the Secretary in even years and the Treasurer in odd years on or before April 15th. The results of the election shall be announced at the annual meeting of the Caucus.
Tie votes shall be resolved by majority vote of the Executive Committee members.
SECTION 4: Meetings
Agendas for the Executive Committee, Council and Business meetings will be established by the President of the Caucus in consultation with the President-Elect.
A Governing Council meeting (and an Executive Committee meeting if needed) and the Caucus Business meeting/reception will be held annually at JSM. The meetings will be arranged through the ASA office (meeting coordinator). Newly elected officers whose terms are to begin the January following JSM will be invited to attend the Governing Council meeting at JSM. The President-Elect will be responsible for sending invitations to newly elected officers.
The Governing Council/Executive Committee will meet at least three times during the year, but meetings other than the one at JSM may be by phone or electronic. Currently the ASA provides the Caucus with a conference call line at no charge.
The meetings outside of JSM will be scheduled on a day and time that will allow a quorum (5 or more members) of the Governing Council to attend. Specific business for these meetings will include approval of the slate of nominations for new Officers and requests for financial expenditures.

Let's just say a variety of backgrounds and I'll let you read between the lines........"Dispatch certificate, 4 year degree or multiple years experience"
What does the OR in this mean? Are they OK with a 4 year degree and only 2 years of experience then?
group interview? oh brotherTest. In the am. They'll break you into groups. You interview with you're group. It's a lot like a one on one but there are other applicants with you. Therefore, group interview. Some groups will go early. Some groups will go late. If you have a flight that you need to catch they take you early. If you don't, you go late. So just in case they want you prepared. Also, This should have been pretty easy to infer.
First post here- Mine is still showing "In Progress" with a last updated date of 8/1. I interviewed on July 22nd. I'm an American employee with no dispatch experience but a 4 year degree and a few years experience at American.Anyone else still showing 'In Progress' after an interview? Hopefully the prospect of another hiring class is still on the table...
Internal.Just curious, was the "someone you knew" internal or external?
Benno thanks for the info. Will they really need to hire again in 6 months? After 2 big classes? If so any idea the reason why? Retirements, growth etc?If anyone else is still waiting on an answer, sounds like both classes have been filled and it will be another 6 months until the next one.
There are two things that seem to be driving all this hiring. One is that the company is expecting over 100 retirements in the next couple of years. Two is that AA wants to replace Sabre FOS as their flight planning system with Flightkeys, and there is a team at AA working on this project as we speak. The timetable I have seen, which I think is overly optimistic, is for 2Q of 2020 for Flight Keys, but I think more realistically it will be 4Q at the earliest since you don't want to introduce a new flight planning system during peak time.Benno thanks for the info. Will they really need to hire again in 6 months? After 2 big classes? If so any idea the reason why? Retirements, growth etc?

While this piece of advice turns up in most how to write books, I don't think it gets nearly enough emphasis. I have certainly managed to ignore this idea for years. Not this year. And I'm here to tell you following this one piece of advice has made the biggest difference in my writing to date. Simply committing to each story that I start has changed my whole approach.
I think about my ideas differently now, I gather them in my daily journal the same as I always have, but choosing which ones to develop, and which ones to actually launch into a story is now more of a process.
I don't think it matters how you decide to see your idea through to the end, if you write from an outline (I do), or by the seat of your pants it's the commitment to finish that will teach you more about writing than any class.
After the heady bon voyage and the thrilling embarkation I usually sail straight into the doldrums of the middle of the story. Navagational equiment will tell me my destination, but with no wind, I'll have to row. And it's sweaty, hateful work.
Sometimes when I'm adrift in the open ocean I look back across what I've written so far and lose heart. I see that the story is not working, that something is broken. In the past this was often the point where I would abandon ship for another enticing idea and begin another story.
But not this year. I've come to realize that it's my duty to save this story or go down with it. What I've found is that no book, class, or seminar had taught me how to manage all the elements that go into creating a ripping good yarn. The only way to really learn is to, you know, get in there an manage the elements.
There is also a reward for committing to the characters. Because I've made a promise to them, they are free to become more real and to contribute their own individuality to the story. It becomes a partnership, and suddenly the work is fulfilling enough to be the engine that I need to reach my destination.

I am a prisoner in this truck. I am not even a CDL (commercial driver license) driver, I am merely a passenger. I was trying to visit my husband, who IS a newly-certified, licensed, tested and inspected CDL driver. When his company-owned truck developed problems and he was stuck waiting for repairs over Christmas, I cashed in a previously-purchased American Airlines flight ticket I would otherwise have lost had I not used it for this purpose, and flew out to Omaha, Nebraska to see him, after I spent a couple of days visiting the rest of my family in Georgia.
I expected to ride with him on his drives for about a week, since he was supposed to be routed on deliveries to Atlanta to pick me up, and to drop me off, for this jaunt. That was December 28. This is January 7, and the next run is to some freaking place in MICHIGAN. That has absolutely nothing in common with ATLANTA, GEORGIA. The next delivery after that is scheduled for Missouri, which is also further north and west of where we are now, in West Virginia. Wrong direction, dispatch!
I got desperate enough to check the tickets to Atlanta on Greyhound buses, for Pete's sake. The bus costs nearly as much as it would cost to freaking FLY. Bus tickets were supposed to be cheap enough for people who do not have enough money to buy airline tickets to buy them instead. At least, they USED to be cheaper! Buses are certainly less comfortable than the airplane, and there is no snack served, either, so the bus ticket should be considerably less expensive than flying. Not so!
Ah, well, as I write on the truck stop provided Internet while serving the mandatory 10 hour refresh down time to be able to drive again, I have discovered that my brother's expected children have been born January 6th – twins: one girl and one boy. Graydon James and Elise Drew – making me a new auntie twice over. In addition, while visiting my family, my daughter announced that she and her husband are now expecting their first – making me a grandma-to-be later this year. It is quite clear that life does go on – even if I am stuck in a truck!

Summer of Soccer 2019
With three major international tournaments going on right now, soccer fans and...
By Gary Norris Gray BASN Staff Reporter and Arthur R. George-Major Contributor
As baseball history brings Kansas City its second World Series in 35 years, about fifteen minutes and seven miles northeast of the Royals' Kauffman Stadium up Interstate Highway 70 is the home of The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Kansas City was the birthplace of the Negro National League in 1920. Among the first eight teams in the "National Association of Colored Professional Baseball Clubs" was the St. Louis Giants, as history repeats with a modern Major League Giants team and Kansas City's Royals meeting in the 2014 series.
The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum preserves what was the parallel universe of Black baseball until Jackie Robinson, who had played in Kansas City on the Monarchs team, integrated the sport in 1947.
The 10,000-square foot museum is anchored by a simulated field populated by life-sized bronze sculptures of eleven players from the Negro Leagues who have been inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. The path through the museum reinforces the message of a separate historically unique experience.
Access to the model field follows exhibits of uniforms and other memorabilia in representations of players' lockers, multimedia exhibits, and lifestyle exhibits highlighting black businesses such as hotels and barbershops, as well as fashion and styles of the era. Visitors enter through antique-styled turnstiles, but are purposely segregated from other parts of the exhibit by a chicken-wire backstop. Only after reviewing the history can visitors take the field with statues of black baseball legends.
The museum is not just part of baseball's past. Museum president Bob Kendrick said the museum could play a role in addressing declining participation in baseball among African-Americans. Only 8.3 percent of big leaguers on 2014 Opening Day rosters were African American, according to figures (MLB) Major League Baseball provided to the New York Times.
At the end of the 2014 season only 87 African Americans wore a major league uniform. This needs to be improved.
Major League Baseball now is populated extensively by Latin players, but that is also part of baseball's present and past. Kendrick said that Negro Leagues players often were the first Americans to play baseball in Spanish-speaking countries, and there has long been a little-known relationship between American-born African-American baseball players and Latin baseball players, and the close-knit relationship that was generated through baseball.
When Kansas City hosted the All-Star Game in 2012, Hall of Famers Frank Robinson, Hank Aaron and Tony Gwynn spoke at the museum on the influence of the Negro Leagues on the major leagues. Commissioner Bud Selig made his first visit to the museum that week.
The museum remains on the periphery of the modern game, although the World Series and All-Star Game have brought greater visibility and visitation. The museum has always been privately funded, according to Kendrick, and its financing struggle parallels the history of the Negro leagues. "We have been in many ways, like those in the Negro Leagues, having to scratch and claw and find a way in order to create a stable environment." The National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., is reported as having 90 full-time employees. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum has seven, according to Kendrick. The museum would like to hire more staff, but that takes money.
Kendrick has said a core group of star players has provided support, including Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp; Yankees Ichiro Suzuki, Derek Jeter, and CC Sabathia; Detroit Tiger Torii Hunter; Phillies Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins; and Met Curtis Granderson. Kendrick told The Boston Globe that it's actually easier to get the support of former players, with Hall of Famers Ernie Banks, Joe Morgan, Lou Brock, and Dave Winfield among major contributors. Kendrick told the Globe that the Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, and New York Yankees have all been involved in supporting the museum financially for years but his goal is to get all 30 clubs involved in supporting the museum. Kendrick said that the Boston Red Sox bring players to the museum each year.
The present Royals ownership has also been supportive, Kendrick reported. For two years, the Royals have hosted a "Dressed to the Nines" promotion, emulating the stylish dress of black fans in the Negro Leagues era when ball games were social events.
For one game this year, the Royals and Baltimore Orioles wore retro uniforms from the Negro League era. The Royals wore a cream Monarchs jersey with a dark blue "KC" logo on the sleeve, pants with dark blue pinstripes, and a cream colored cap with a dark blue bill and a dark blue "M" on the front. Baltimore came out as the Baltimore Black Sox in road gray jerseys from the late 1920s with the Black Sox logo across the chest, and a black cap with orange bill and the "circled B" logo on the front. The first 10,000 fans in the ballpark received fedora hats bearing the Monarchs logo. Auction of the retro uniforms and a portion of ticket purchases went to the museum.
HBCU-(Historically Black Colleges and Universities) AND BASEBALL
Kendrick said that the Negro Leagues had a higher percentage of college-educated players, partly because the Negro Leagues teams would train at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and then recruit players from there, while most major league players were drafted out of high school.
MLB today still draft high school stars but most of these players attend college before becoming a professional baseball player.
"Almost 40 percent of players in the Negro Leagues had some form of college education," Kendrick said. "Perhaps less than five percent of major leaguers at that time had any kind of college education for the simple reason that the major leagues didn't want you to go to college. But [black players] were the ones who were being depicted as not being smart enough to play in the major leagues." This attitude continues with the stereo typing of the African American players today.
Correcting this concept or misconception by the Negro League Museum and Major League Baseball could improve the participation of African Americans in this wonderful game.

Midair refueling is incredibly difficult for a pilot, but a drone? Extended flight test have just been accomplished by the Navy. Their drone program uses the X-47B which successfully demonstrated mid air refueling, a first. The possibilities are tremendous as it allows them to stay up indefinitely and fly many different operations.
"Refueling in mid-air is tricky enough with manned aircraft, because the pilot has to make precise movements to engage the tanker's drogue, also called the basket, which delivers the fuel. "Adding an autonomous functionality creates another layer of complexity," Duarte said.
Navy extends UAV range with first in-flight refueling

Justin Timberlake is about to take the stage for one of his biggest performances ever...
The Pepsi Super Bowl LII Halftime Show!
This Sunday JT will take the stage during the big game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patiots. Although he's previously stated it feels like his "first" Super Bowl performance as it marks his first solo run on the field, we can't help but wonder if he'll be alone the whole time.
You guessed it: We're already taking bets on which special guests the 37-year-old could potentially bring out...And we're admittedly keeping our fingers crossed for some far-fetched ideas (cough cough Britney Spears).

In order to put your best foot forward during the interview process, it is essential that you research the expectations for the position which you have applied for and the sorts of questions you will likely be asked. An interview will generally cover questions regarding your availability, work experience, salary expectations, your knowledge of the position being offered (responsibilities, duties, etc.), why you would like to work for OMV, and so forth. Answering these questions confidently and effectively will undoubtedly boost your odds of being offered the position in the end.
Many companies believe that job candidates do not show their true personalities and professional qualities on tests and during interviews. Assessment Centres ask you to show a different side of you in both a relaxed form and an intense one. When you are socialising with the other candidates you are being assessed on your interpersonal relationship skills and during the activities there is more at stake and they want to see how you will react.
OMV is no exception to using aptitude tests. These are designed in order to give your hopeful future employer insight into a number of workplace competencies. These tests are often scored by taking your raw score and comparing it to that of other the candidates, then comparing all scores to the benchmark score. If your profile proves to be a match with the company's standards, you may end up being offered the job.
After you have submitted your résumé and cover letter, you will be contacted. This a phone interview, the first among other interviews that you may have, if you succeeded on your pre-employment test. You have to discuss your background, your working and life experiences, and your career goals. You may also talk about the OMV, the organization of its business, and the benefits you will receive, if you are hired. The phone interview may last from 20 to 40 minutes.What Is the Best Way to Prepare For the OMV CEB SHL-Style Assessments?
The best way to prepare for and pass the OMV CEB SHL-style tests is through a great deal of practice ahead of time. JobTestPrep offers you the highest quality preparation materials to bolster your ability to pass all of your OMV assessments and interviews.

It wouldn't be a new day without The Last of Us getting some attention from us, with the newly announced single player DLC being the focus.
Taking to the PS Blog to address some concerns about the single player DLC being cut content from the actual game release on June 14th, Eric Monacelli, Community Strategist at Naughty Dog, confirmed that "it's not cut content. It's new content we are working on post launch." While we highly doubted that Naughty Dog would do something like that, it's good for Eric to re-assure anyone who might have been worried.
This practice of working on brand new content post launch is something that Irrational Games is doing with BioShock Infinite. Since it was two months ago that we received Infinite, some fans were getting impatient, prompting Ken Levine to send out this tweet:
Beloved fans, a choice: DLC we make before we ship, or DLC we make afterwards. DLC made afterwards has to be, well, made. Patience, plz.
— Ken Levine (@levine) May 29, 2013
Getting back to The Last of Us and that single player DLC, here's my guess:
You play as a Clicker who still has his memories from a past life. As you embark on a harrowing, dangerous quest to reunite with your family, you come across a man and younger woman. Though humans aren't the most trust- Oh wait, they killed you. Aww.
What do you think Naughty Dog should do with the single player DLC? Let us know in the comments below.

As the school year winds down, the class of 2016 held their prom on April 23rd, 2016 at the Intercontinental Hotel using the theme, A Night with the Stars. Prom was considered a success for the class of 2016 as they sold over 300 tickets with many of the guests leaving with lasting memories of their final Galileo dance.
2016 Class Sponsor, Mr. Joseph Taylor was pleased by the overall success of prom. He said, "The event went smoothly and everyone had a great time. Prom was held in a great venue and the class of 2016 managed to sell enough tickets to pay off graduation, stoles, plaques, awards, and senior breakfast. Everyone dressed really classy and looked really sharp that evening."
Many students had similar things to say regarding what a great time they had at prom. Senior Richard Kwong said, "My experience at prom was enjoyable because I got to take pictures with all of my friends when they are looking their best. Although the DJ didn't quite meet up to my expectations, I was glad that I was able to spend time with good company. The best part of the evening was when the song "Get Low" by Flo Rida came on and the crowd was singing and dancing to the lyrics."
Aside from students enjoying the elegant evening, the staff also had a great time. "I loved it, I had a fantastic time at prom. It was fun for me to see the seniors and some juniors come together at a special year end event. In my mind, it's the combination of four years of hard work and studies, which is a special celebration for a school community to celebrate. [This event is] to pay recognition to the seniors that have worked hard and also acknowledge the staff that helped us develop the seniors into young men and women. It made me so proud to see everyone because they looked fantastic since they were dressed up. The evening unfolded so beautifully with a positive and fun vibe," said Principal Dr. Reimer.
Although prom was an unforgettable event for most people, there were parts about prom that weren't as comfortable. Senior Nick Trieu said, "During prom I was able to hang out with my friends, but I constantly stressed about the tuxedo because I had to find the right suit to match my date." Another topic that some people complained about was the lack of a dinner during prom, which was only replaced by a dessert bar. Senior Michael Liang said, "I was upset that we had to eat before or after prom ended. I didn't even try the dessert bar."
Despite these unfavorable conditions, everyone was excited to see the Prom King & Queen crowned. The class of 2016 named ASB President Teddy Wong, Prom King, and senior Serena Chen, Prom Queen. Serena was thrilled to be named queen. She said, "I thought it would be fun to run for Prom Queen, since it was once in a lifetime. It was fun to dance with Teddy because he's my best friend," said Prom Queen Serena Chen.
Aside from crowning their Prom King and Prom Queen, this year's prom also crowned their Prom Princess, Prom Prince, and Royal Couple. Prom Prince Raymond Cheung said, "It felt great to win something out of the four years I've been at [Galileo]. I know that these contest are based off of popularity, but I can guarantee that I'm not popular! I will definitely remember this moment [when I] look back [to it] in ten years." Royal Couple winner Angel Wu said, "It was exciting because we both wanted to run together as a couple and we wanted to win it together. Prom was fun because of my friends, a lot of people said that the DJ wasn't good, but I don't think the music matters because it's about who's with you dancing at prom."

Just an observation not backed up by good research, but I ventured down the Generation 2 virtual machine path in hopes of drastic performance improvements for file copies.
My scenario is that I have a FIM VM that I need to restore databases into, and I do the restore from SQL backup files (which are nice and compressed for copying pleasure). Ideally I would be able to just copy the files to the VM using UNC paths, but the speeds hover around 1MB/s.
Copying the same file to the Hyper-V host, I get speeds closer to 50MB/s.
The workaround I've come up with to appease my impatience is to mount a VHDX on the host, and copy the files into the VHDX, then add that VHDX to the VM. The problem with this is that it requires access to the VM host, which I only have because I bought the admin a six pack.
I was hoping that the file copy performance of the Generation 2 VM would solve my problem, but it appears I have to work a little harder to figure it out. More later, and until the the admin will enjoy more beer.
