WASHINGTON — As huge federal spending cuts and tax hikes loom, county and city officials are grappling with how they might deal with the ramifications if Congress and the White House fail to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff."
After finishing a meeting at the White House with President Obama and other municipal leaders earlier this week to discuss the state of negotiations, Tampa's Mayor Bob Buckhorn said he was hopeful that a deal could be struck to head off tax increases for middle-class Americans before the George W. Bush-era rates expire on Jan. 1.
But Buckhorn acknowledged that he remained uneasy about what it would mean for his city and for the rest of Florida — a state that has slowly climbed out of the recession — if Congress and the White House remain at loggerheads and tax rates rise by more than $2,000 for the average American family.
BOEHNER: Obama is willing to go over fiscal cliff
"One of the last sectors of the economy to recover has been tourism, and Florida is a tourist-dependent state and that $2,000 could be the difference of whether a middle-class family takes a vacation or not," Buckhorn said . "It would be terrible for Florida's recovery."
As Republican lawmakers and Obama trade deficit-reduction plans and accuse each other of intransigence, local government officials have warned that Washington's failure to strike a deal would be catastrophic and have begun to outline what the trickle-down effects of reduced federal spending could mean for their communities.
The spending cuts proscribed — $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts to defense and domestic programs over the next decade set to be triggered Jan. 1 — were set in motion by a 2011 congressional deal with the White House to raise the legal limit on what the U.S. can borrow. The deep, across-the-board cuts were designed to push the president and lawmakers to find better ways to reduce the federal debt and deficit.
On Thursday, it appeared the two sides were no closer to hatching a deal, as House Speaker John Boehner told reporters that "the White House is so unserious about cutting spending that it appears willing to slow-walk our economy right up to — and over — the fiscal cliff."
Obama called negotiations "a work in progress," in response to a question shouted to him by a reporter as he left the White House on Thursday afternoon for a holiday party.
Obama is seeking $1.4 trillion in revenue in his latest offer, which includes raising the individual tax rates on the top 2%. Boehner opposes the tax hike and wants to overhaul the tax code instead to generate more revenue. Republicans also want more spending cuts — particularly in entitlement programs such as Medicare — which Democrats oppose.
Several local governments are gaming out what the worst-case scenario could mean for their community.
In Fairfax County, Va., in suburban Washington, D.C., officials have set aside $7 million in reserve in anticipation of a diminishing flow of federal funds into the community whose economy is closely tied to federal spending. The county's executive, Edward Long, has also called on the head of agencies to get ready for 5% in additional cuts as he prepares the 2014 budget.
The federal government only accounts for about 1% of the county's budget, but deep cuts in federal spending could have a domino effect of rising unemployment, decreased sales tax revenue and greater demand for social service programs, according to county projections.
"Almost 10% of the income of people who live in Fairfax County comes from people who work for the federal government and we also have lots of federal contracts," said Merni Fitzgerald, a county spokeswoman.
In Indianapolis, the city's public school system estimates that it could lose $755,000 next year just for special education funding.
That could mean laying off up to 10 special education teachers and up to 10 speech and language pathologists; ending a support program for parents of special-needs children; and closing a day treatment program for students with severe mental health issues.
"These are among the most vulnerable of our children," said Indianapolis Public School System spokesman John Althardt. "The children and their families are very dependent on the services, but more importantly, the people who carry out these services."
In Hartford, Conn., Mayor Pedro Segarra says if no deal is made to avert automatic cuts in non-defense spending, he calculates the city will lose as much as $4.5 million in federal funds and could lead to the slashing of benefits for as many as 7,600 of the city's residents.
Among 14 programs he said would see big cuts are those utilized by the city's poorest residents, including a health and nutrition program for women and housing vouchers.
The anticipated cuts, Segarra said, would be difficult for the city, where the unemployment rate hovers over 15% and about a third of its residents live in poverty. The federal cuts notwithstanding, Hartford has faced diminished support from the state Legislature as it grapples with its own budget constraints.
"What these cuts will do is push the community further down into poverty," Segarra said.

Convert data types without changing underlying data
Y = typecast(X, type)
Y = typecast(X, type) converts
a numeric value in
X to the data type specified
type. Input
X must be a full,
noncomplex, numeric scalar or vector. The
type input
is a string set to one of the following:
typecast is different from the MATLAB®
cast function in that it does not alter
the input data.
typecast always returns the same
number of bytes in the output
Y as were in the
X. For example, casting the 16-bit integer
1000 to
uint8 with
typecast returns
the full 16 bits in two 8-bit segments (3 and 232) thus keeping its
original value (3*256 + 232 = 1000). The
cast function,
on the other hand, truncates the input value to 255.
The output of
typecast can be formatted
differently depending on what system you use it on. Some computer
systems store data starting with its most significant byte (an ordering
called big-endian), while others start with the
least significant byte (called little-endian).
MATLAB issues an error if
This example converts between data types of the same size:
typecast(uint8(255), 'int8') ans = -1 typecast(int16(-1), 'uint16') ans = 65535
Set X to a 1-by-3 vector of 32-bit integers, then cast it to an 8-bit integer type:
X = uint32([1 255 256]) X = 1 255 256
Running this on a little-endian system produces the following results. Each 32-bit value is divided up into four 8-bit segments:
Y = typecast(X, 'uint8') Y = 1 0 0 0 255 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
The third element of
X, 256, exceeds the
8 bits that it is being converted to in
Y(9) and
thus overflows to
Y(9:12) ans = 0 1 0 0
Note that
length(Y) is equal to
Also note the difference between the output of
typecast versus
that of
Z = cast(X, 'uint8') Z = 1 255 255
This example casts a smaller data type (
into a larger one (
uint16). Displaying the numbers
in hexadecimal format makes it easier to see just how the data is
being rearranged:
format hex X = uint8([44 55 66 77]) X = 2c 37 42 4d
The first
typecast is done on a big-endian
system. The four 8-bit segments of the input data are combined to
produce two 16-bit segments:
Y = typecast(X, 'uint16') Y = 2c37 424d
The second is done on a little-endian system. Note the difference in byte ordering:
Y = typecast(X, 'uint16') Y = 372c 4d42
You can format the little-endian output into big-endian (and
vice versa) using the
swapbytes function:
Y = swapbytes(typecast(X, 'uint16')) Y = 2c37 424d
This example attempts to make a 32-bit value from a vector of three 8-bit values. MATLAB issues an error because there are an insufficient number of bytes in the input:
format hex typecast(uint8([120 86 52]), 'uint32') Error using typecast Too few input values to make output type.
Repeat the example, but with a vector of four 8-bit values, and it returns the expected answer:
typecast(uint8([120 86 52 18]), 'uint32') ans = 12345678

Governments Gather in Poznan to Build Momentum in the Fight Against Climate Change03/
Nairobi/Kenya, 3 December 2008 - Over 10,000 delegates representing government, industry, civil society and international organizations are currently participating in the UN Climate Change conference in Poznan. The outcome of the meeting is expected to help build momentum and chart the way towards the Copenhagen climate talks in December 2009, when governments will attempt to reach an ambitious and effective international climate deal for the period after 2012. In Poznan, governments will move from discussion to negotiation and agree on a plan of action for the final year of negotiations. They are expected to make progress on key issues including capacity-building for developing countries, reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD), and technology transfer and adaptation. Yvo de Boer, the Executive Secretary of the UN Climate Change Secretariat, told journalists the meeting will test governments' willingness to work on climate change amid a global economic slowdown. He said: "I think it is really important, especially in the context of the financial crisis, to see how we can craft a Copenhagen agreement that makes it clear how financial resources will be generated."Representatives from developing countries are concerned that lack of adequate funding could hamper efforts to meet the challenge of combating and adapting to climate change. The UN Environment Programme's Executive Director Achim Steiner will attend the Poznan meeting, and UNEP is also involved in a series of events and report launches as part of the conference including: - An event on 'The UN system's response to support REDD' on 4 December with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Bank. The event highlights the UN-REDD Programme, which helps countries and international organizations to develop REDD schemes that are viable and sustainable.- The launch of the 'Carbon and Biodiversity Demonstration Atlas', produced by UNEP's World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC), will be launched on 5 December. Pinpointing overlaps of high carbon and high biodiversity areas, the atlas shows how investing in carbon-rich ecosystems can give the double dividend of combating climate change and fighting biodiversity loss. - The launch of a report on 6 December on 'The Kyoto Protocol, the Clean Development Mechanism, and the Building and Construction Sector' which recommends ways to unlock the potential of the building and construction sector for combating climate change.- A press conference on solar energy and an event with the World Bank on scaling up economic incentives and coping with climate change. - The launch of a report on weather-related disasters and a year-end snapshot of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects - that is, emission-reduction projects in the developing world that industrialized countries can invest in to help meet their emission reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol.

Why Build Computer Models?
Computer models are essential for studying complex systems, where many variables are operating simultaneously. Most biology experiments are done by holding all other factors constant while studying one variable. But the controls, constraints, and behavior of complex systems cannot be studied that way (Waring and Running 1998). Running recounts a previous experience in which one of his models predicted a system-level behavior that he later confirmed through direct measurements.
"In 1974, we had never measured the fluxes of water in really big trees like redwoods or Douglas firs," he recalls. "We created a computer model and entered all we knew then about the transpiration rates and water balance of those trees." (Water balance refers to the amount of water stored within a tree after adding the amount of water taken up through the roots and subtracting the amount evaporated from the leaves during transpiration.)
"The models showed us that those trees could not have the same transpiration rates per unit leaf area as small trees, or they would die by mid-summer. The model suggested that large trees had transpiration rates almost 10 times lower than small trees. This had never been measured before. When we went to the field years later and made the measurements, we found that the model was correct. This is the first example in my career where a model taught me something about the ecosystem that I didnt previously know." (Running et al. 1975)
Runnings current global model allows his team to visualize changes in the biosphere at resolutions no real data set can provide. At time scales ranging from minutes to months, and at spatial scales ranging from acres to the entire Earth, Running and his colleagues can toggle certain variables and then run a scenario over and over, watching and learning as their virtual creation plays out possibilities.
In a matter of seconds to minutes, Runnings team uses the model to simulate interactions that in reality would take them years to measure. For instance, they can use the model to examine what causes changes in the beginning date and length of growing seasons (Waring and Running 1998). We know that growing seasons vary from one year to the next. Sometimes the differences are subtle, sometimes extreme. There are climate anomalies such as El Niño and La Niña that can also dramatically affect a region's growing season. Witness some of the record high temperatures recorded in North America during the 1997-98 El Niño, followed by the most severe drought ever in the mid-Atlantic United States during the 1998-99 La Niña.
Using current satellite sensors, Running's team measures many of the same
variables that they model, but the satellite data are integrated into 14-day
"composites" (meaning that one image represents the average values measured over
a 14-day period). But suppose something interesting happens in the middle of
those 14 days? Without models, Running's team could miss important details.
Additionally, Running points out that models allow his team to compute variables that cannot be directly measured. "We can only directly measure photosynthesis for an individual plant," he explains. "But models allow us to compute that variable on a global scale."
Models provide the only means for comprehensively examining the terrestrial biosphere. It is difficult to measure one variable at one scale of time and space (such as the photosynthetic activity of a single plant), and then integrate that measurement with other measurements at other scales of time and space (such as changes in temperature and precipitation). Models allow scientists to integrate multiple measurements across varying scales of time and space into a single tool for visualizing the system and predicting future changes.
"A mature, well-tested model can provide a prediction capability that data alone cannot provide," Running states. "There is no way you can look at data and extrapolate into the future. The only way we can imagine what the terrestrial biosphere may be doing 10 or 100 years from now is through modeling."

Hell no, the game is just so boring. A friend and I duo'ed and beat Diablo on Inferno like a week before they nerfed the inferno content. It felt good to beat it but I never touched the game again until the legendary/paragon patch and it still sucks bad. ULTRA repetitive gameplay is so boring it hurts. And I don't know how they did it but Blizzard has created a bigger Pay 2 Win game with the RMAH and being able to buy gold for real money than Perfect World games. (Which is pretty freaking hard to do).
This game is a plauge to modern gaming.
Been playing again, either farming Act 2 Inferno by myself or Act 3 with others. Maybe put 6-10 hours in each week, depending on if I feel like playing or not. Kind of just waiting to see what 1.05 and beyond brings.

So many things about it pissed me off just before release so i didnt buy it...
Until now i didnt even know there wasnt any pvp, im so glad i didnt waste my money on it
Yeah on and off.

They really shouldn't release the game without dedicated servers for closed bnet-like online play. (Classic BNET, not online only limitations).
I heard 1.05 will have additional stuff to do ..like upping monster difficulties for better loot.
What is your paragon level? I only get to 19 so far.
Oh, don't forget Borderlands 2 .. that would be a good game and probably take me away from D3.
I am no longer playing d3 (actually I ran across this thread cause in my history links I thought this was the gw2 forums lol, but then saw this thread and thought I'd reply).
The fact I put so much time into d3 without one valuable item to show for it really made me quit. the itemization is so horrible and the playerbase is horrible too. people say you are bad if you don't get that lucky 100m - 1billion item drop.
Yep, agree, too much luck based stuff going on in Diablo 3. I also decided to invest my time in a game with less random number generation mechanics.
I am interested to see what Red 5 are doing with Firefall when the game is getting more competitive and balanced.

And for MMORPGs ever so true...
Stopped playing D3 cause GW2 came out.
Stopped playing GW2 cause MoP came out and hadn't played WoW in years so I decided to give it a try.
Last week I only had short gaming sessions, so I picked up Torchlight 1 on a whim to give the series a try. It ain't bad, but playing it makes me want to try D3 again, so I'm downloading the 1.05 patch right now.
It's all a cruel, vicious cycle....
I stopped playing about 3 months ago - was totally bored with the game.
I might try it again now that the new patch is released, tried when 1.04 came out but that only kept me interested for a few days.
I have come to the conclusion that the game is very boring. I went back in time and installed 'Unreal' Original with the patch 227 (2011), the graphics are updated to work well with windows 7.
Found Unreal to be far superior to Diablo 3 in many aspects, the 4 play settings make it very hard if you want it to be.
no , never bought it.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – The state Ethics Commission provided a total victory to House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, and Republican Gov. Phil Bryant as they work to continue the existing Medicaid program while fighting efforts to expand it.
The eight-member Commission not only reversed itself and ruled that legislators who work for Medicaid providers could vote on Medicaid issues, but also took the additional step of advising a legislator who works for a Medicaid provider that it would be OK to vote against expansion, but not for expanding the program. There is an ongoing debate on whether to expand the program to cover those earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $15,000 annually, as allowed by federal law.
The ruling earlier this month came after Gunn took the unusual step of requesting "a blanket" opinion covering six Republicans who were not voting on Medicaid issues because of past rulings by the Ethics Commission. With those six members not voting, Democrats were able to block funding and reauthorizating the Medicaid program during the 2013 regular session in an attempt to force Gunn to allow them to have a floor vote on expansion.
Instead, Gunn turned to the Ethics Commission to try to get the votes to pass the existing program while not allowing a floor vote on expansion. Ethics Commissioner member Billy Powell of Madison, who is a close political supporter of the speaker, said the Commission refused to rule on Gunn's blanket request, but instead required each individual legislator who would be impacted to file a separate request for an opinion from the Commission as is the custom.
But it was well-known by the Commission where the speaker stood on the issue, as well as where Bryant stood.
"So we feel like it's important for every member to have the opportunity to vote," Bryant said in an earlier interview.
With the Ethics Commission victory in hand, Bryant is expected to call a special session before July 1 to try to fund the program and reauthorize it for the new fiscal year.
Tom Hood, the executive director of the Ethics Commission, said the reversal was made in large part because of the Supreme Court ruling in 2002 in a case involving Rep. Bobby Howell, R-Kilmichael, who was at the time owner of a drug store. A lower court had ruled that Howell's service in the Legislature was a violation of the state' Constitution's Section 109 that prevents public officials from an interest "directly or indirectly, in any contract" with a governmental entity.
Earlier court rulings on Section 109 issues in the 1980s resulted in educators not being able to serve in the Legislature.
The nine-member Supreme Court ruling, written by former Chief Justice Jim Smith and joined by five of the justices, not only stated that Howell could serve in the Legislature, but essentially that he could vote on Medicaid funding issues.
Smith reasoned that, while the Legislature funds the Medicaid program, there are other variables that determine how and where those funds are spent. For instance, federal officials play a role in Medicaid funding and a Medicaid recipient also decides which health care provider to seek out for services. The Ethics Commission, based at least in part on the Howell Supreme Court decision, opined in 2005 that a legislator could vote on an education appropriations bill even if his or her spouse was a school teacher.
But the Commission continued to rule that legislators employed by a for-profit company that treated Medicaid recipients could not vote on the appropriations bills – as late as December 2012 it issued that ruling.
But last week in taking up the issue again, Hood admitted "one of the rulings by the Ethics Commission is wrong," meaning that either legislators whose spouses are school teachers can't vote on education appropriations bills or legislators who work for a Medicaid provider can vote.
Ethics Commission member Bill Wheeler of Oxford disagreed. He said the two issues are not analogous because educators are not allowed to serve in the Legislature, but Medicaid providers are.
But he went on to say he definitely cannot understand the final part of the Ethics Commission ruling saying that legislators who work for Medicaid providers can vote no on expansion, but not yes.
The Ethics Commission opinion stated that adding an estimated 300,000 people to the Medicaid roles "would result in a pecuniary benefit to many Medicaid providers…However voting against a measure which would presumably benefit one's employer cannot be a violation."
Hood said, "If you add 300,000 Medicaid recipients, you can pretty well expect some of the Medicaid providers will benefit."
Wheeler said if expanding the program is a pecuniary benefit then so is voting to continue the existing program, which has to be funded on an annual basis. It takes an affirmative vote by the Legislature each year to fund the existing program, and if that vote was not taken, the Medicaid providers, including those who employ legislators, would suffer financial consequences.
"All you are talking about is the degree of money," Wheeler said. "…It is the same program. It would just be covering more people."
Hood said that the legislators who asked for the opinion from the Commission wanted to know if they could vote no. If a legislator asked if he could vote yes on expansion, then the Ethics Commission might say that would be acceptable.
But in reading the ruling, the Ethics Commission did not seem to give itself any wriggle room.
The opinion reads, "While the commission advises the requestor to recuse himself or herself from any measure which would expand the Medicaid program, voting against the measure will violate" state conflict of interests prohibitions.

Something About Me Saturday: Another Summer Getaway --Watkins Glen
8 comments:
beautiful pictures!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Tracey :)Delete
I LOVE Watkins Glen, my sisters, daughter and I spent two days there last summer. First we spent the day at the Wine Tasting at the speedway, we are all over 21. The next morning we got up early and hiked the Watkins Glen Gorge and then went north to Sodus Bay. The best part of it was it was about 95F and my daughters house did not have AC. So we got to spend a few days in the coolness of Air Conditioning.ReplyDelete
Perhaps you and your husband could one day do the Wine Tasting and the hike. A cool day or early in the morning are the best.Replies
We hiked the trail too and it was in the 90's as well so we have something in common. :) Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera. Oh well. We plan on making a trip back at some point. The gorge was absolutely beautiful.Delete
Beautiful and serene, perfect vacation spot..ReplyDeleteReplies
It really was :)Delete
These pictures make me feel happy. And happy for you! What a wonderful time this summer is for your family. Beautiful.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Mariann! It has been a wonderful summer. I definitely feel blessed. Hope yours has been good for you as well.Delete

Lawmakers say sniper attack in California shows vulnerability.
WASHINGTON — Power industry executives are meeting here this week as federal lawmakers are raising questions about physical security at power plants across the country.
Referring to last year's sniper attack on a key substation in California's Silicon Valley, four senators said the incident at the Metcalf transmission station represented "a wake-up call to the risk of physical attacks on the (electric power) grid.''
"This incident came uncomfortably close to causing a shutdown of a critical substation, which could have resulted in a massive blackout in California and elsewhere in the West,'' Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and three Democratic colleagues wrote in a Feb. 7 letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC), which develops standards for the nation's bulk power industry.
"We are concerned that voluntary measures may not be sufficient to constitute a reasonable response to the risk,'' the senators wrote. "While it appears that many utilities have a firm grasp on the problem, we simply do not know if there are substantial numbers of utilities or others that may have not taken adequate measures to protect against and minimize the harm from physical attack.''
The industry, NERC President Gerry Cauley said in a written response, had "adopted a broad set of physical security guidelines that have been updated over time'' since the Sept. 11 attacks.
Cauley acknowledged that federal law authorized NERC to develop physical security standards but said, "I do not believe it makes sense to move to mandatory standards at this time.''
It's not possible, Cauley said, to provide "100%'' protection for the far-flung network of electric substations.
"I am concerned that a rule-based approach for physical security would not provide the flexibility needed to deal with the widely varying risk profiles and circumstances across the North American grid and would instead create unnecessary and inefficient regulatory burdens and compliance obligations,'' Cauley said.
Lawmakers, however, cited the April 16, 2013, attack on Pacific Gas & Electric's Metcalf transmission station as cause for serious concern.
In the attack, transmission cables were "severed'' and nearly 100 rounds were fired on the power station, "which could have caused a large-scale blackout in California and surrounding states.''
FERC spokeswoman Mary O'Driscoll declined comment.
But Jon Wellinghoff, former commission chairman, said the process for developing safety standards "doesn't significantly address known threats and vulnerabilities.''
"It's been almost a year after Metcalf and I don't think you see substantial physical (security) improvements,'' Wellinghoff said.
The industry is "aware of the discussions ... regarding how a physical security standard could be structured and how it would work," said Scott Aaronson, senior director of national security policy at the industry trade association Edison Electric Institute, which is holding its annual meeting here.

Hitting theaters on Christmas Day is Jack Black's new movie, Gulliver's Travels (rated PG). You may remember Jack Black as the hilarious teacher in School of Rock. Well his new movie is a modern day version of a book written almost 300 years ago by Jonathan Swift! But of course with Jack Black involved, you can bet it will have a funny twist.
In the movie, Jack Black plays Gulliver, a mailroom clerk who lies about his job to get a big reporting assignment on the Bermuda Triangle. He goes there, only to be transported to an undiscovered land called Lilliput. All the people there are miniature, and Gulliver is literally a giant. There are lots of crazy CGI (computer generated imagery) scenes to say the least!
Q: How old you were when you first read the book?
Jack: Uh, I was thirty-nine years old. [laughs] Maybe I was thirty-eight. But I had not read the book until 20th Century Fox approached me with the concept of doing Gulliver's Travels as a movie. And I have to say I don't think it's really a children's book. Some pretty heavy stuff in there. I mean on one hand you can read it just as a fantasy fun book, but even then there's some pretty spicy stuff. He (Gulliver) saves the king and queen by basically peeing on them because the castle was on fire. Ratha: Yuck. Not the way you want to be saved!
Q: Was it hard to do the CGI and green screen stuff?
Jack: No, I had done it before. I did a lot of green screen CGI on King Kong so I'm familiar with the process. Basically you just spend a lot more time pretending things are happening, that aren't really there. There's a giant gorilla right there, but really you're just looking at a tennis ball.
Ratha: Hmm…do they at least try to make the tennis ball look scary?
Jack: It is fun for me to do. It gives you a chance to really play pretend like you did when you were a kid and that's really what I love about acting.
Q: Do you have anything in common with Gulliver?
Jack: I definitely can relate to that aspect of Gulliver where he's the low man on the totem pole at the newspaper where he's working, but he's got big dreams. . . but he lacks some of the self-confidence to really put himself out there to accomplish anything. I've definitely been there and have had to overcome my fears to get to where I am.
Q: When did you realize people were saying, "That's an incredibly talented man."?
Jack: Probably in high school. I did a couple of plays and a musical and I felt like I was really entertaining people. But it doesn't really matter, because every time you have some success it's fleeting. It lasts a few weeks or months and then you get back to, "Yeah, but now what do I have to offer?" You always have to reinvent or climb that mountain again.
Ratha: It's true. You have to keep that motivation!
Jack: I still to this day feel insecure about what my next thing's going to be. That's just life. You can never really rest on your laurels and say, "I finally made it."
Q: When you were younger, did you ever think of a fallback career just in case acting and music didn't work out for you?
Jack: I might have gone into animation. I had a lot of interest in that field. I love to draw and I actually did some animated shorts in high school.
Q: What were you like as a student in middle school, early high school?
Jack: I think you would call me a theater nerd. I knew all about the different theater actors. That was my passion.
Q: Is there a book you would recommend to kids?
Jack: Well I really loved the sci-fi books and a favorite of mine when I was a kid was A Wrinkle in Time. That blew my mind and I would recommend it to any thirteen-year-old that hasn't read it already.
Q: Do you have an unusual talent that most people don't know about?
Jack: I did ride a unicycle when I was a kid. I was pretty proud of it. It took months of practice before I was able to have my true balance on the bike.
Ratha: Wow, not many people can say that. And where can you even buy a unicycle?
Q: Do you have a favorite thing to cook?
Jack: I only have a couple things that I know how to cook well. They both include cheeseburger. One of them is macaroni and cheeseburger. There's no bun involved. It's just macaroni and cheese with little chunks of hamburger mixed in. Delicious. And the other thing is a cheeseburger burrito – where instead of a bun you just take a fluffy flour tortilla and wrap it up in there. It's quite delightful.
Yum! When can I come over for dinner?
Let us know what you think about Jack, and Gulliver's Travels in the Comments!

The Stormers moved one step closer to claiming the South African conference after battling past the Lions 27-17 on Saturday.
The Stormers moved one step closer to finishing on top of the South African conference after they battled past the Lions 27-17 at Newlands on Saturday.
In what was a spirited effort, the Lions battled for every inch against their conference leaders in a game that saved its entertainment until the end.
Three tries were scored in the final ten minutes in Cape Town – two for the Stormers and one for the Lions – but the hosts fell short of the bonus-point.
It was a lifeless opening in Cape Town as the miserable recent weather was backed up by a dull start that only came to life on the half-hour mark when Gio Aplon went over following an impressive break from Danie Poolman. Poolman was a late call-up after Joe Pietersen pulled out.
Even more worrying news for the Stormers was that original bench option, Bryan Habana, was also ruled out, compounding their injury troubles.
Peter Grant opened the scoring from the tee as early as the fourth minute though after Lions scrum-half Tian Meyer was penalised for being offside. The Stormers knew that kicks and not tries would be fine for them as they looked to consolodate their position ahead of the Bulls at the summit of the South African conference.
Elton Jantjies did respond in the 24th minute with his second attempt as fans struggled to get excited by what was unfolding in front of them. It was far from tournament-winning form.
They would find their feet and voice six minutes later though when full-back Aplon was put over the line by fly-half Grant, who had only just pushed his side back in front with his second shot at goal. His third would be the extras to Aplon's try, making it 13-3 at half-time.
Just ahead of the break Stormers head coach Allister Coetzee suffered further disruption to his team when wing Poolman was forced off the field and replaced by Marcel Branche.
When the teams returned, the Lions absorbed the initial pressure but once they managed to break out of their half they caught the Stormers napping around the fringe of a breakdown play and skipper Josh Strauss scrambled through for a try, which Jantjies easily converted.
The Lions were fired up but in their eagerness to up their tempo, errors crept into their game and the Stormers managed to take the initiative, and they might have added a second try but busy full-back Aplon was collared on the whitewash with a team-mate on his outside.
With fifteen minutes remaining, the Lions threatened to turn the match on its head when they made several charges at the try-line, but a mixture of sound defence and poor options left them empty handed, and instead the Stormers bounced back in fine style with late tries.
Jebb Sinclair and Gerhard van den Heever were the scorers before Lions lock Franco van der Merwe scored to cut the gap in their first game without suspended boss John Mitchell.
The scorers:
For Stormers:
Tries: Aplon, Sinclair, Van den Heever
Con: Grant 3
Pen: Grant 2
For Lions:
Tries: Strauss, Van der Merwe
Con: Jantjies 2
Pen: Jantjies

crazy hi-def
A time trial bicycle race was held Sunday morning around Grand Lake. Contestants started sixty seconds apart on Lake Shore Drive in Celina and raced clockwise around the lake. Parts of Lake Shore Drive, East Market Street, and US 127 in Celina were closed to vehicle traffic to accommodate the riders. Racers typically completed the 24 mile circuit in an hour to an hour and a half. The race was part of the

Great Clean Feeling And Wonderful Smell.I've been trying all different types of shampoos for my thick long hair that tends to get really oily at the scalp within a day. I wanted to get healthier shampoos without sulfates and parabens but wasn't having luck finding one that still lathered and didn't tangle my hair until Alterna! I love this shampoo! It lathers with a little bit of product, leaves my hair feeling really clean and smells amazing! Look no further. The bottle design is a litle annoying but at the end of the day, that's not why I purchase my shampoos so who cares.Apr 1, 2014Roxanne / New York, NYHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair

Alterna Bamboo Volume Shampoo Is Great For Fine Hair!!!I love this shampoo. It gives my fine hair lots of body. My husband uses the shampoo, as well, He has curly hair, and he loves the shampoo because it tames his curly locks.

Besides Volume Oh The Fragrance Of My Hair!I have thin long hair and it was falling out while using over the counter shampoos and other products from my salon. I was ever so grateful when the salon owner started to use the Bamboo products. My fine hair is bouncy and it stopped falling out. I love the volumizing shampoo and conditioner. I have tried them all, and let me tell you....this is the best. The owner just told me that he was not going to be getting it any longer so here I am immediately googling and trying to find it on line, and boy am I glad I did because it is $4.00 less a bottle! About the closing of the top????? I am not understanding this at all. For me shampoo is about performance and not about the bottle! Not getting this complaint at all. My advice...go with the shampoo (the greatest) and it smells so good, and not about the way the bottle opens and closes.Mar 18, 2012HelenHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

The Bottle Is Poorly Designed.The shampoo itself was fine. It volumized my hair along with its conditioner counterpart, but all of that doesn't matter if the top of the bottle doesn't close. It's a turn-top, like a prescription bottle without the child safety mechanism, However, my bottle didn't stay closed. When I stored it upside down so getting the shampoo out of the bottle and into my hand was more efficient, it leaked all over my bathtub until the bottle was empty. Will not purchase again.Dec 26, 2011KavHAIR TYPEColor Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Bottle MalfunctionThe shampoo is nice, it makes my hair soft and a little bit more bouncy. But one thing I really don't like is how the bottle opens and closes. It's a turn to open sort of thing, only you're never quite sure if the bottle's closed tight. Sucks to wake up, brush my teeth and come to find that my shampoo had been dripping on my toothbrush all night.Nov 26, 2011Kav L.HAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Great For Very Fine Hair!My last barber turned me on to this new Alterna Shampoo. WOW! I love the way it makes my very limp, fine hair feel. I have stick straight hair. This shampoo actually helps give me some body and volume. Combine it with the conditioner, Bamboo Mousse, and there is no comparison.

Why reference SWG at all then? The games are total opposites in design. The only thing they have in common are the Star Wars universe. Everything in that list can be drawn from many other MMO's besides the space combat. You needed SWG to draw on for Factional PvP or multi-person mounts? All I'm saying is a lot of people really enjoyed SWG before they butchered it and tried to make it more "iconic" by changing it into WoW in space. Why pillage the tombs of some pharaoh only to steal a piece of rock? SWG wasn't built around any of these features, or remembered for them by 'SWG vets' now. The reason it's being ranked number one on Massively's MMO most in need of a ressurection isn't because of those features. ToR's fourth pillar of story collapsed on them, sadly. The things I mentioned are the things I'd wish to see in ToR. You don't reference SWG then say I can't list all the features of it that made it SWG. If you just wanted to talk about jewish shoes you don't reference the Holocaust (I'm in no way relating SWG->NGE to the holocaust...). I may not be realistic, but those are my wishes.
Agreed. Why mention SWG at all with a list like this? Hit the nail on the head.
Until you cancel your subscription, you are only helping to continue the cycle of mediocrity.
They should just bring back Precu SWG. Maybe updated the game engine a bit though. Maybe Bioware will buy SWG since they already have a license and run it concurrently as an inducement for sub over free to play.
Just dreaming...lol

A good read, but anything is better than SWTOR at this point. I would gladly pay a sub to play SWG again.
You and 200 more
5. Sure.. we could see that at some point
4. Seeing as this would be without any VO i have a hard time seeing it happen. Companies tend to be picky about stuff like that.
3. See above
2. This was the plan once IIRC... Would be a really good idea.
1. Yeah... as soon as they re-write the entire engine in regards to space and add a expansion worth of content... Very unlikley as it would mess with core system and if SWG have showede anything it is that you do not go in a mess with core systems after launch. (ok the last part was a big =P but it is still true. it woudl force them to re-do the entire space system and move in to territory that BW have no experience with at all.)
Now i'd love to go back and play my ID/Tailor but just because something was good in one game does not equal it being good in another game, and SWG was a lot like old painters not very well liked until it lay on it's deathbed... Then it became the best thing since oxygen. (and before anyone try.. yes i was there... and since my gametime was mostly spent being in one spot listening to people talking as they got their new hairdo and stat adjustment it gave a very intimate view of the game.. and it was not very much roses i can tell you.)
This have been a good conversation
I just want Galaxies back, preferrably with the original professions system. TOR has it's place and there are plenty of people who really enjoy it, but I don't think it fills the void where Galaxies used to be.
I wasn't a regular subscriber to Galaxies after the NGE, but every few months I'd have the itch to decorate my house, meet some new people in a cantina, explore the vast worlds on my speeder, or pilot my YT-1300 with my wife/friends on the guns. The space was my favorite part of the game and I'd spend hours there.
IMHO, there's been nothing like it since (especially the space aspect), and if they were able to bring it back, I'd be there. Sure, a ton of mistakes were made with it, but I've never found a gaming experience quite like it and I couldn't stop playing, even occasionally, no matter how upset I was with the NGE.
Game History (the ones that count): Everquest, Everquest 2, Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, Planetside 2
LoL, yeah make reverse NGE on Swtor and see how big disaster it will be.
I can only imagine limited 3 and 5 maybe become a possibility in SWTOR. These 2 seem to fit the best without needing the devs to change too many things.
1. Definately not. To me it is clear they completely underestimated the demand for JTL like spacecombat. You only have to look at how the ships are used atm. It is just a station where you press a button to load the next planet. And the current spacecombat plays as if you are playing on an arcade machine on board of your ship.
2. I guess you can argue that they are already doing this. Or that any new battleground could have more emphasis on that theme. But there is no way that it will reflect any war result in the rest of the game in an obvious way. Like occupation of a planet by the Empire or the other way around if the tides turn. So I don't see this happening on the lvl as with SWG. You won't be fighting for Tatooine occupation.
3. I see this as possible. It doesnt have to interfere with the current planets and can have its own planet or instance.
4. Another feature that would require loads of changes and additions. Something I just don't see happen anymore.
5. I see this as possible too.
One thing that I would like to see... Customizable ships. Why fly what everyone flies, Those stock light frieghters are modable. Not just spec wise but colours and appearance.
Planets with sparse questing. Tatooine should have been that. it is a back water plantet in the middle of nowhere. In SWG you could find yourself in the middle of no where and nothing.. not so much in TOR.
Truth be told .. TOR was WOW in space and not a good replacement for SWG
Looking at: The Repopulation
Preordering: None
Playing: Random Games

But then you would have a NGE again... Completley changing a game to fit a specific playstyle it was not ment to have.
This have been a good conversation
Gotta say...Not impressed with that list much...
1) Cities and Housing - Are you kidding me? Best single aspect of an MMO ever...
2) 360 degree Space Combat -
3) Crafting/Harvesting -
4) The Exploration/ Non-linear Planets
5) Entertainer Profs -
Feels like MMORPG.com is looking to stir some clicks by mentioning SWG in a headline.
But I'll bite.
1) Player driven economy!
2) Player cities (complete with mayoral election system)
3) Non-combat professions
4) Order 66 (get rid of the Jedi)
5) REAL space combat.
6) Exploration. The lack of exploration was what made me give up on SWTOR at lvl 25.
All said, only the powers that be would never consider these things (maybe space combat).
Can we have some good ole fashion world pvp?
Can my BH hunt some people please? (pre-cu style plz)
Sorry, any article with that title not mentioning Entertainers and Non-Combat Professions is a farce. Really Player generated content and multi passenger vehicles were more important?

I tried to be realistic in my list. They aren't going to put in a Musician or Dancer class and give it a storyline from 1-50. Same for other non-combat professions. What would a dancer's storyline look like? It just doesn't fit the game.
Believe me, I considered all this when putting together the list, but they just don't fit this particular game.

It would be easier to select the things from SWTOR that you would put in SWG.
The list would be much smaller and actually possible.

Important Facts!
If You Are Planning to Buy, Rent, or Renovate a Home Built Before 1978?
Many houses and apartments built before 1978 have paint that contains lead (called lead-based paint). Lead from paint, chips, and dust can pose serious health hazards if not taken care of properly.
Federal law requires that individuals receive certain information before renting, buying, or renovating pre-1978 housing.
LANDLORDS will have to disclose known information on lead-based paint hazards before leases take effect. Leases will include a federal form about lead-based paint.
SELLERS will have to disclose known information on lead-based paint hazards before selling a house.
RENOVATORS will have to give you a lead-based paint information pamphlet before starting to work on homes.
Where Lead Is Likely To Be a Hazard!
Checking Your Family for Lead
Get your child tested if you think your home has high levels of lead. A simple blood test can detect high levels of lead. If your child is older than 1 year, talk to your doctor about whether your child needs testing.
The City of Inglewood is currently implementing lead hazard control activities through its First-time Homebuyer and Housing Rehabilitation programs.
Also, the City offers education and training in lead relation construction to certified contractors. Training is held once a year and is administered by experts in the field of environmental construction.
For more information on the City's efforts to abate lead and for brochures on lead-based paint, contact the City of Inglewood, CDBG Division, One Manchester Blvd., 7th Floor, Inglewood, CA 90301, (310) 412-8844. Contact the Regional Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, (800) 424-5323 for additional information.

All eyes are on the Vatican this week as the conclave to elect the new head of the Roman Catholic Church is set to begin. One keen observer will be Father Bill Pomerleau, the pastor of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in Springfield and a veteran journalist and staff correspondent for Catholic Communications. He says the process of choosing a pope kind of resembles a political campaign
"I think it's probably a little bit like the Iowa caucuses, where you get together, you talk, you figure out what are the needs of the church, first, and then once you kind of say these are the issues, these the things that need to be dealt with, then obviously people start looking at who would be the best man to deal with these needs. And just like in secular politics there's never a perfect candidate."
Pomerleau thinks there is some time pressure on making the decision sooner rather than later:
"I think there's a great concensus to have the installation Sunday the 17th because the following Sunday is Holy Week and it just gets very complicated trying to roll two big events into one big feast day."
Pomerleau says 115 cardinals from around the world will be secluded under lock and key until they come to a decision, which he thinks is likely to come Wednesday or Thursday.
