Another GREAT place to look if you are trying to find inspiration for a character!
The dual power set setup of the City of Heroes/Villains game is perfect for making a datafile!
I'll give an example using one of my first CoH characters, Mind Lock.
A little backstory on Mind Lock...I'll try to keep this from being the disertation that it could be...
Mind Lock is my go-to character when I want to test out character creation in a supers game. He actually started as my very first randomly created character in the TSR Marvel Superheroes game. He has found himself reincarnated and reimagined in the Marvel SAGA & resource allocation games as well as Mayfair's DC Heroes game, Aberrant Storyteller AND Aberrant D20, Silver Age Sentinels (D20), Hero System (Champions), Palladium's Heroes Unlimited, City of Heroes and possibly a couple of other systems that I'm forgetting right now. Each version of Mind Lock has been unique as that system allowed. (For example: In City of Heroes he's more of a support character/secondary attacker while in the Storyteller Aberrant system he's nearly a god...easily fitting for a JLA A-team roster.)
This version of Mind Lock is as close to the City of Heroes version as I could make him off the top of my head:
Mind Lock

What once was a grove of trees is slowly being transformed into a site that will serve as a final resting place for area veterans.
Heavy equipment including a bulldozer and a track hoe were busy clearing stumps Thursday from the 1.5-acre spot near Antioch Baptist Church on N.C. 89 west of Mount Airy.
Don Holder, a 22-year Air Force veteran, stood nearby and watched as the machinery operated by Howard Hull and Billy McCraw pushed away stumps and debris left after timber was harvested from the land.
Holder has deeded the property to the local Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion groups that own Veterans Memorial Park. It is valued at $6,500 on the county tax books, "and I didn't need it," Holder said.
He donated the land as part of a goal to develop the first cemetery for veterans in Surry County, which was inspired by a visit to such a facility in Delaware.
Both veterans and their spouses can be buried there, Holder said.
The clearing work by Hull and McCraw this week has left a patch of ground with fresh-turned earth that sits between a residential section and a forested area bordering the graveyard of the nearby Antioch church.
Making the cemetery a reality from here on out will be a step-by-step process that will rely on volunteer labor as well as donations, Holder said.
Such support already has come in the form of the heavy-equipment work led by Hull.
"I just happened to be by Charlie Hull's tractor place," Holder said of how Howard Hull, Charlie's brother, came to be involved. Holder mentioned the need to clear the land, and Hull said, "I'll volunteer to take the stumps out for you."
Holder said he was impressed by the offer from a man who is about 80 years young, mentioning that the cost of such a job probably would be around $3,000 on the open market.
After the property is leveled, it will have to be seeded, a project Hull also is pursuing through some of his associates.
Gravel is another need for the site, and a small fence must be built between the housing development and the veterans graveyard.
Holder is hoping granite can be donated by a local source for a marker at the entranceway, and said another need will be a flagpole and stand.
"Eventually, we're going to have to have grave markers," flat stones that Holder also hopes can be contributed. He believes a local company could be enlisted to apply the inscriptions for free.
Such benevolence recognizes the financial realities of death and the inability in some cases for families to bear the expenses involved. "Most of your veterans don't have a lot of money," Holder said.
"One of the big things is since we've already got two people waiting to be buried there (whose remains have been cremated), we also will have to build a small mausoleum."
Plans further call for establishing a fund to cover miscellaneous needs. "We're going to have to have income to keep the thing up," Holder said of maintenance tasks such as mowing.
"I'm hoping by spring, we'll be able to start putting some people in there," he said of the veterans cemetery.
Holder added that anyone who would like to assist with the cemetery needs can contact him at 401-6034.
Developing the facility represents a way to repay what those who've served in the military have done for their country, the cemetery organizer believes.
"If it wasn't for our veterans, we might not be here free today, doing what we want," Holder pointed out.
"And people need to think about that."

MARTIN, Tenn. – Jason Simpson, the seventh-year head football coach at The University of Tennessee at Martin, says his Skyhawks still control their own destiny despite Saturday's opposition, perennial power Jacksonville State.
The Gamecocks will travel to UT Martin for a key game in the OVC race on Saturday. The host Skyhawks are currently in a three-way tie for first place in the OVC (with Eastern Illinois and Tennessee State) while the Gamecocks are just one game back in the standings.
Jacksonville State leads the all-time series with UT Martin 27-6 including a 24-23 victory a season ago. Overall JSU has won three in a row and 9 of 11 in the series. That game a year ago came down to the final minute as Jax State went 50 yards in 3:49 as Calvin Middleton rushed for a 4-yard score with 38 seconds to go. The Skyhawks were able to march down to the JSU 15-yard line but time expired before they could get a field goal attempt off. Derek Carr finished with325 passing yards while Coty Blanchard had 133 passing yards and 32 rushing yards after Marques Ivory went down with an injury during the game.
"Our interest this week is ourselves, not our opponent," Simpson said.
Jacksonville State kept itself alive in the race for the OVC Championship with its second-straight three-point victory, this time by a 38-35 margin over Murray State. The Gamecocks are now 4-2 in OVC play, one game behind a trio of teams, including its opponent this week. The victory over MSU was the 100th in the coaching career of head coach Jack Crowe, who is in his 18th year overall as a collegiate head coach. After winning the game in overtime the previous week, junior kicker Thomas Griffin nailed the game-winner again this week, connecting from 38-yards out with 8:51 to play in the fourth quarter.
Senior Washaun Ealey rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns on 37 carries (the second-most by a FCS running back this season). Ealey has now scored eight touchdowns over his last four games (JSU has gone 3-1 in that stretch). Freshman defensive back Jermaine Hough picked off his third pass in the past two weeks and finished the game with eight tackles. As a whole the JSU defensive unit held Murray State scoreless in the fourth quarter, snapping a streak of 23-straight quarters with points for MSU.
The Gamecocks now ranks ninth nationally in time of possession (32:59) and sixth in third down conversion percentage (51.56%).
In a three-way tie for first place, UT Martin is coming off its bye week. The Skyhawks play two of its final three games at home (including a game with Tennessee State) and controls its own fate for the OVC Championship if they win out. The Skyhawks enter this week having won three in a row and five of its last six.
After scoring a combined 117 points in two games to begin the month of October, the Skyhawks needed only 27 points to beat Southeast Missouri two weeks ago. In a game that featured a lot of running, Tevin Barksdale rushed for 107 yards for the Skyhawks while Carr finished with 156 passing yards and a touchdown threw the air and also a touchdown on the ground. Junior DJ Roberts keyed a defensive attack as he recorded eight tackles, 0.5 sacks, 2.5 tackles-for-loss and recovered a fumble in being named OVC Co-Defensive Player of the Week.
Jason McNair returned a punt 56 yards in the game and now ranks fourth nationally in punt returns (15.25 yards/return). As a team UT Martin ranks seventh nationally in turnover margin (+1.13/game) and is ninth in fumbles recovered (11).
"We need to put together a team win," Simpson said. "We have played team football all year, and this is not the week to stop."

Is there any way we can do remediation on Blackboard CE 6 & 8 and Vista courses? I am looking for options similar like 'Adaptive Release' feature in Blackboard Learn.
Ce/Vista has "Selective Release" which is similar to Adaptive Release.
Hope this helps
Thanks Harold!
Could you please help me with more details of this "Selective Release"? For example, where I can find the feature on CE/Vista etc...
From your Build tab, look in the left hand side navigation menu under Designer Tools. You should see the Selective Release link there.
When you click on this, it will give you a map of your course. Note that you can click on the + sign next to each item and it will open up to show lower levels of content. On the far right of each content item, click the "set Release Criteria" button. You have the option to release by date, membership, groups or by a grade in the gradebook. If I understand your remediation question, you might use either member to release additional materials to a student or group of students or you might do it automatically using the grade criteria. For example a student did not pass a quiz, you would use the "less than or equal to" the passing grade option to release additional materials to the students.
You can also use multiple criteria's in combination using Boolean operators AND /OR. If you do that be careful not to create an impossible release criterion. I have seen instructors try to release between July 1- July 2 AND August 1 - august 2. In this case it can't be both dates at the same time so the instructor should have used the OR operator.
Hi Harold,
Yes, your detailed information will really helps us. Many thanks for providing this. What I meant by 'remediation' is something like giving access to student for the study materials depending on the performance of the assessment, for example diagnostic test. The student will be able to see the study materials only if she/he will get a certain percentage on the diagnostic test. It seems like your solution will helps us to meet the requirement.
Thanks again,

"Good flavor but?"
I liked the flavor and it had lots of thick smoke.The main problem with this cigar is construction.3 different 5-packs all had the same issues.The cap would flake no matter how it was cut.The huge band doesn't want to come off and will start the wrapper unraveling.Also,not one burned straight.In my opinion not worth the aggravation.
HB in Charleston SC March 5, 2012
"2of first 3 were fabulous, 3rd was not as good"
Had 3 of the 5pk, 2 were fabulous, the 3rd one was the same flavor

"Spicy goodness"
If I had one word to describe this cigar, it would be "spicy."
Very enjoyable and one of my go-to cigars. Highly recommended.
AJ in Brooklyn August 19, 2011
"Earthy Goodness"
Lots of earthy, creamy smoke laced with aromatic hints of citrus and even a faint whisper of walnut rind. Burn and draw were flawless as was the construction. This cigar feels great in the hand with a firmness which seems to contradict the easy draw. I prefer medium-to-full bodied cigars on an everyday basis, and this cigar was stronger than I had anticipated, even after a full meal. A must try.
Craigor in Maine July 25, 2011
"Good but..."
Not bad but should have been labeled as a full bodied flavor, not mild. Burn was uneven the whole time, good draw but strong taste to me.
Mark in Louisiana June 20, 2011
"A great cigar"
This is a great cigar to smoke as an everyday or for those special occasions. Burn, draw and taste are excellent...a must smoke
Rod in Pa May 28, 2011
"Not to shabby"
fairly decent cigar, draw was good, the cigar was quite veiny. Predominant notes were earthy, a smooth creamy sweetness, and a bit of spice with a coffee bean note here and there. I generally prefer more full bodied cigars but this smoked well and had a some decent presence. all in all not bad for the price.
Pat P in University Park March 26, 2011
"skip these, save for a good cigar"
Tasteless, lots of smoke, decent burn, but the taste is ashy & flat. Big dissapointment, save the lot 23 to grow anything else but tobacco.
RT in Pittsburgh February 4, 2011
"Sweet Surprise"
Got this cigar in a package deal from Famous. Wasn't really expecting a whole lot and was very pleasantly surprised by this stick. Although I do tend to like dark, rich flavors the sweetness that came through in this cigar was just stellar. My only complaint was that in the last third of the smoke, the burn become hopelessly uneven. However, I came back inside and looked up a box price on these and couldn't believe how low their price is. I'll definitely be looking forward to aging these in a humidor and will be happy to have them on hand to offer to friends. Ty..
Tyler F in Wisconsin September 2, 2010
"A True Classic Smoke"
Nick did it right on this classic cigar, the history of the lot is pretty cool and so is the smoke. Medium with spice and natural flavor, excellent construction and burn, a cool smoke thats a nubber for sure so get a tooth pick and enjoy the last inch. everyone should keep a few in their collection they age very well and are worth the consideration

Lone Survivor is heading to PS3 and Vita this summer
Lone Survivor is heading to PS3 and Vita this summer, and Curve are handling the conversion of the 2012 indie horror title for Jasper Byrne and Superflat Games. The game will come with additional content which will initially be exclusive to the platforms, as well as Trophies, Cross-Buy and Cross-Play support. The PlayStation version of the game will come with "19 new items, new dialogue with all NPCs, two extensive new side quests and a brand new 'Yellow' ending, featuring an exclusive piece of music." Touch control for movement and inventory use is being investigated for the Vita version. It is slated for release in July. More can be found through the PS Blog, and a trailer is below.

Lone Survivor headed to PlayStation 3 and Vita, followup cancelled
Lone Survivor creator Jasper Byrne has shelved his unannounced new project, New Game +, citing issues of scope. A blog posts outlines his reasons and gives an idea of the project's proposed shape. It's all a bit sad, but there's good news, too – Lone Survivor is making the jump to consoles, specifically PlayStation 3 and Vita, and is being re-coded from scratch by Curve Studios, the team behind Explodemon. Lone Survivor launched earlier this year and has players as the titular character exploring a city in the wake of a viral attack of some kind.
Thanks, Shack News.

Humble Bundle V surpasses $4 million in sales
Humble Bundle V has, as of this post, has been purchased 495,134 times, and has accumulated $4,094,061.75 in sales.

Humble Bundle V adds Super Meat Boy, Braid, Lone Survivor
Humble Bundle V organizers have added Lone Survivor, Braid, and Super Meat Boy to what in our opinion is the best indie bundle yet. The bundle already includes: Bastion, Limbo, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Psychonauts, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent as well as the soundtracks, but if you pay over the current average price – $7.98 at press time – you'll get all the above. Those who already purchased the bundle, will get the additions as well. So far, 435,891 bundles have been sold, generating $3,340,127.23 and counting.

I haven't played the beta but I have been looking through beta footage on youtube and I've noticed that they choose the faction that they'll belong to at the start.Is this just for the convenience in the beta or are they going to stick with that idea? I recall hearing something about having to make the decision during the game. The concept doesn't feel quite as awesome if it's just something we pick at the beginning and stick to the entire game.
Not sure. In the BETA you do indeed have to choose at the beginning and it looks pretty permanent to me.
Yeah I recall them initially saying that you would choose the path in the tech tree and then your options would change from there. Maybe there was an issue getting the AI to choose each time or something, but as it stands now in the beta you choose before the game starts.
BTW both factions are pretty sweet. The Loyalist are a beast at turtelling and slowly dominating. The rebels hit hard and fast.
When I play as the Loyalist I move slowly, take a planet - max it's defenses, add 2 starbases and then move on the to the next target.
With the rebels Im constantly on the attack, barely waiting long enough to secure the previous planet - or just leave a small force while that planet builds while the most of my vanguard moves forward, crushing my foes
They are sadly sticking with the idea of you choose in the beginning. The whole choosing during the game was a bit more complicated then they expected it to be.
Not for them, for the "new players" supposedly.
I really don't understand HOW it could be more complicated. I think the current 'choose before you play' is honestly more confusing than anything! I believe they didn't have enough 'differentiating techs' and the tech trees probably looked the same. <- this would be easy to fix ... I just don't know why they haven't asked our opinion. '
I think a campa...er, set of tutorials could have guided new players on how to make the choice midway through ..maybe.
It really wouldn't be hard ... you either choose because you are not able to advance up the research tree any farther unless you pick a side ... or to unlock specialized abilities and research (which likely will disable other research opportunities) you have to pick a side.
This is VERY simple ...
I don't see why they can't either make it like they said it was going to be, i.e. chose your allegiance in a match, or at least like CnC Generals: Zero Hour where the original factions were still available, otherwise it will never be a true replacement for Diplomacy/Trinity.

Proceeds will go to development of the industrial park on the Charenton Navigation and Drainage Canal, Executive Director David Allain said.
Allain also noted that the port's master plan study is about 75 percent complete. He said developers believe it will be complete by year's end.
In the 2013 proposed port budget, Allain said $55,000 has been allocated for the plan. If the plan is complete before the end of 2012, it may be paid for out of the current budget.
The commission also welcomed new member Joseph Tabb to the panel. He was appointed by the St. Mary Parish Council to fill the seat left by commissioner John Lockett who recently resigned. Tabb is an attorney with the Aloise, Baudry and Tabb law firm in Franklin.

I don't post prices every day so think you are catching up to me. Besides that you talk alot!
Kudos to you on moving up in the consecutive days and overall points rankings. You are in elite company. I'm certainly jealous of the price you westerners get to pay for your gasoline. Price here have risen over 40cents and we no longer start with a 2. Keep up the fight I for one am proud of your success. Stu
February 2, 2013 @4:35 a.m. 1499 consecutive days | i did not aim for CDs. i aim to tell what prices i see. it's the only thing that i know can be done.
5:20 a.m. according to the time listed at the top of the page for southdakotagasprices.com/ Rapid City SD which is usually just one hour ahead right now would be 4:20 a.m. : i am posting this if any of you read what is on my whiteboard--to keep consecutive days--post early morning/middle of the day/early evening : to not go past whatever 'time' is on the page you are posting: if it's 'gone to the next day' then you won't get your 'consecutive days'. there are some who seem to know how to change the time when prices are posted : i know because i leave open pages and then open new pages to see that "look-at-that" shows posted before the time listed on pages that were sitting there with other numbers of hours; i don't know how-to do that: i just post prices that i see on the signs: credit if it's posted: cash in the (comments) -
... and figure that any who drive should be looking at the pump before inserting nozzle to read what is in the pump/the method of payment options/grade of fuel chosen: all those things that as thinking licensed drivers 'we' are responsible to do. insofar as to the grades, 'the boys' do have them alternated: with some posting their lowest price in the midgrade level and some posting their lowest price in the regular level: it matters to gasbuddy's calculations about the 'regions' prices to have the reg/mid/prem in the right slots. i've learned from seeing how GB buddies have posted and then 'looked!' when i went again to see: o.k. so it's 'back-a%%-wards' which taught me to read what the grades posted on the signs are. safe travels! Rapid City South Dakota time: 3:20 a.m. Thursday, January 18, 2013
We are located in Minneapolis right now. Will be leaving on Thursday. Hopefully before the next storm. Merry Christmas to you & a Happy New Year.

Cisco's Big Week Overshadows Apple's: Tech Recap
More than 270 million shares became eligible to trade, as insiders and early investors were given the chance to sell a portion of their holdings.
Under the terms of Facebook's IPO in May, there was an agreement for an additional 2 billion shares to come to market over the next nine months. This week's lockup expiration is just the first of several over the coming months.
Facebook shares fell 13% to end the week at $19.07.
Groupon(GRPN) reported second-quarter results after the market close Monday, and the shares fell sharply as revenue missed analysts' estimates, prompting growth concerns about the third quarter.
The Chicago-based company posted revenue of $568.3 million, trailing estimates of $573.1 million. Excluding items, Groupon earned 8 cents a share for the three months ended June 30. Analysts were looking for a profit of 3 cents a share.
Groupon cited economic weakness in Europe for the revenue shortfall but on the conference call said "we believe we are not totally dependent on a macroeconomic turnaround."
For the third quarter, Groupon provided guidance with downside to Wall Street's current expectations.
Groupon shares tumbled 36% during the week to close at $4.75 on Friday.
IBM(IBM) announced a deal to acquire privately held flash specialist Texas Memory Systems on Thursday in an attempt to boost its storage business.
"It will really be a great enabler, not just for storage, but for our systems as well," IBM vice president and integration executive Terri Mitchell told TheStreet. The company's existing flash partnerships with Fusion-io(FIO) and LSI (LSI) , she added, will be unaffected.
The value of the deal was not disclosed.
IBM shares ended the week at $201.22, up 1%.
Online real estate company Trulia filed to go public on Friday. The Zillow(Z) competitor, which will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker "TRLA," hopes to raise as much as $75 million in it IPO.

No rationale for travel restrictions
1 May 2009 -- WHO is not recommending travel restrictions related to the outbreak of the influenza A(H1N1) virus. Today, international travel moves rapidly, with large numbers of individuals visiting various parts of the world. Limiting travel and imposing travel restrictions would have very little effect on stopping the virus from spreading, but would be highly disruptive to the global community.
Influenza A(H1N1) has already been confirmed in many parts of the world. The focus now is on minimizing the impact of the virus through the rapid identification of cases and providing patients with appropriate medical care, rather than on stopping its spread internationally. Furthermore, although identifying the signs and symptoms of influenza in travellers can be an effective monitoring technique, it is not effective in reducing the spread of influenza as the virus can be transmitted from person to person before the onset of symptoms. Scientific research based on mathematical modelling indicates that restricting travel will be of limited or no benefit in stopping the spread of disease. Historical records of previous influenza pandemics, as well as experience with SARS, have validated this point.
Travellers can protect themselves and others by following simple recommendations related to travel aimed at preventing the spread of infection. Individuals who are ill should delay travel plans and returning travellers who fall ill should seek appropriate medical care. These recommendations are prudent measures which can limit the spread of many communicable diseases and not only influenza A(H1N1).

modbaraban wrote:Not the healthiest way to start the new Grand prix topic but...Swine flu to see fans banned from Spanish Grand Prix?
29 April 2009
The Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona in a week-and-a-half's time could be Formula 1's first-ever spectator-less event, it has been mused – after it was revealed that the region surrounding the track is the most infected in Europe from the new swine flu panic.
Though the outbreak – rapidly developing into a global pandemic – has thus far been felt most keenly in Mexico, where more than 150 people have died from it, repercussions are also now being experienced in Europe, with confirmed cases in England, Scotland and, most prominently of all it has been claimed, Catalunya.
German health minister Ulla Schmidt has warned that events where thousands of people mix are the easiest way for the virus to accelerate out of hand, and she has suggested a fan-free Spanish Grand Prix around the Circuit de Catalunya on 10 May could be the only sensible way to go.
"Everyone understands that there cannot be a major gathering of 70,000 people, if thousands of them could become infected," Frau Schmidt told Swiss publication Motorsport Aktuell.
Schools, universities, museums, libraries, cinemas, theatres and churches in Mexico are all facing closure, and a major football game at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City took place this week in front of deserted grandstands after fans were banned from attending. The A1GP outing due to take place there this weekend has been canned over the risk [see separate story – click here], so that the crisis will similarly affect Formula 1's Spanish date is far from out of the question.
The first death from swine flu outside of Mexico was confirmed today, with a 23-month old boy in Texas falling victim to the dangerous H1N1 strain.

I don't like the previous one better. Or the one before him, or the one before him. They are spending money they don't have on --- they can't produce, nor should they be in charge of the people producing it. I looked at my paycheck on Friday and they are taking 26% of my paycheck to give to big bankers, ineptly run car companies and other morons that need to be locked up in jail, alongside these politicains, by being stupid and screwing things up. 26% of my hard earned payment for my labor is being taken from me to give to these people for doing a sh*tty job. Actually that isn't true. They are creating money out of thin air and that in and of itself is going to destroy this economy and every other one that follows the same model. They are working towards a world currency and it's going to destroy everyones way of life. The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. You cannot defend that in any way, shape, or form. At all.
This whole 'swine flu' bullsh*t is just another way to create money, buy power, and supress the masses of this countries citizens. Call me crazy, I don't care. The writing is on the wall.

Hwa Beng's PKFZ book could harm Liong Sik's case, court told
KUALA LUMPUR, July 13 — Datuk Lee Hwa Beng's recently-released book on the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal drew criticism today during Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik's cheating trial when the latter's lawyer argued that it may create prejudice against his client's case.
Dr Ling's counsel, Wong Kian Kheong, pointed out to the High Court here that Lee, who was a former chairman of the Port Klang Authority and also a witness for the prosecution, had released the book shortly after his client was ordered to enter his defence in March this year.
"The adverse publicity has created a substantial risk of prejudice against Tun Ling, that Tun Ling will not be able to receive a fair trial," he said in an opening speech to the court.
The lawyer also claimed that Dr Ling has been denied his constitutional right to fair trial as he was accused of an alleged wrongdoing only after he had left government in 2003.
Dr Ling took to the witness stand for the first time today to defend himself against charges of cheating the government over the purchase of land for the PKFZ project, which is said to have resulted in billions of ringgit in losses for the government.
The former MCA president, who served out a 17-year term in the transport ministry until 2003, also faces two alternative charges of deceiving the Cabinet into believing that the terms of purchase — at RM25 psf and 7.5 per cent interest — were acknowledged and agreed to by Valuation and Property Services Department (JPPH) despite knowing that there was no such agreement.
"The charges concern events that took place between 1999 until 2002. Tun Ling stepped down as Transport Minister in May 2003," Wong said.
He argued that official documents relating to the PKFZ project are classified under the Official Secrets Act 1972 and Dr Ling was no longer allowed access to them as he had retired.
"In the circumstances, Tun Ling's defence has been seriously prejudiced," he said.
Lee's book, "PKFZ: A Nation's Trust - Betrayed", which was released in April, chronicles the story of the project first mooted in 1997 and includes insights from his three years as PKA boss when the controversy erupted, as well as his role in the investigations.
In an interview with The Malaysian Insider shortly after the book's launch, the former Subang Jaya assemblyman had said that despite five years of exposés on the RM12.5 billion PKFZ scandal, the authorities have only hit the "tip of the iceberg".
"Outside of PKA, a lot of things happened. It might come out in the court cases. OC Phang's trial will probably reveal even more facts," Lee said of the former PKA general manager who served from 1997 to 2008, when the cost of the project ballooned from RM1.1 billion to RM4.6 billion.
She is currently on trial for three counts of criminal breach of trust involving over RM254 million related to the PKFZ.
"In the Transport Ministry, there are so many things that happened, which we won't know about, that might not be revealed in the court cases. Only the police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) have the power to dig (these) out.
"The six that are on trial were not charged with corruption. Without that, the money trail won't come out," he said, referring to the prosecution of the half dozen individuals including two former transport ministers.
The project, initially estimated at RM1.1 billion after it was mooted by then transport minister Dr Ling in 1997, more than quadrupled in cost to RM4.6 billion by 2007.
A position review by top accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) revealed in 2009 that the total cost including interests from debt repayments could reach RM12.5 billion.
Since December 2009, six individuals have been charged in court including Dr Ling, and his successor as transport minister, former MCA deputy chief Tan Sri Chan Kong Choy. Both are accused of lying to the Cabinet.

Revamping the blog...in progress
- 2013-04-06
From now on this blog will be held in english only. Despite I am not a native english speaker, I feel more easier writing in Shakespeare language. I writing this post to announce the upcoming blob revamp.
The blog is currently running WordPress with a full LAMP stack on one my own dedicated server. That totally an overkill setup. Moreover WordPress is fatnessing day after day. I only need to run a personal blog system, not a whole CMS engine.
My choice went to a light NodeJS based blog engine, that does only why I need. It is called Lectroid, it doesn't require database, posts are stored in markdown.
I also decided to completely lighten the dev process and wanted to give PaaS a try. I played a couple of days with several ones and chose Pagodabox, which meets my needs. I will use Cloud9 IDE and Git for versioning and deploying to Pagodabox. I'll keep you all updated.

I would like to summon a volcano at Mouse_x but I dont want flying a volcano, it would have t be created at the mouse_x but with a variable Y which would be the Y of the first floor block from the sky.
I thought of dropping the volcano (invisible) from y=0 and make it visible when it contacts with block, but that seems not very good.
I also want to teleport
pretty easy stuff, but the sprite of the teleported could get stuck in walls & floor, how can i prevent that? position_free(mouse_x,mouse_y) would only check for a specific point, the sprite is 64x64 how to check for a quare of freeness?
jumping through floor
i herd of a make floor not solid while you want to pass through, but that would also affect other objects that might want the floor the be solid at that instant... any other way?
thank you

The B-17 Flying Fortresses he and his fellow GIs helped dispatch flew across the Channel to Europe seeking out the Nazi air bases and their hated bombers and fighter planes, their submarine pens, their war manufacturing plants, and their evil determination to overtake those little Isles occupied by the British folks. And, the GI, who happened to be my brother, wanted to express his appreciation and that of his soldier buddies who were welcomed and treated so well by the English people during their extended stay at an airfield near London.
I missed World War II due to my youthful age, and had to wait around for the Korean War. However, my older brothers — Horace, Worth and Donald — all went off to either Europe or the Pacific because America was fighting on two fronts. Due to wartime secrecy, their locations were usually not known to us back home, except that Horace was definitely at an airbase somewhere not too far from London, while Worth was on a communications ship not too far off the islands of Japan, and Donald was being primed for what everybody expected to be the blood bath of all time — the land invasion of Japan itself by American forces.
Estimates were that thousands upon thousands of American soldiers would be killed in what would amount to hand-to-hand combat not only with Japanese soldiers, but with citizens in their homes, mostly armed with sharpened bamboo spears stowed away in every closet in Japan.
Mr. Truman's decision to drop a couple of bombs on what was truly at the time an "evil empire" changed that, and fortunately — very fortunately — each of my three brothers (and a million or so other American sons and daughters) returned home and lived out fruitful lives. They are all three gone now, but they left behind stories and letters that evoke my memories of those teen-age days waiting at home with my mother, and praying for their safe return.
Letters home from most GIs were of two types: typed or hand-written letters and V-Mail (Horace was an excellent typist and was allowed to type full pages but if he gave away information that was deemed to pose a risk to the war effort, the military censors blanked out those sentences). V-Mail existed as a handwritten or typed letter, but then photographed by the government, with thousands stored on a roll of film, flown to America, and printed out in reduced size to 4 ¼ X 5 inches. Thus thousands more letters could be sent by air for quicker delivery instead of all that weight forcing delivery by ship…usually a 13 or more day delay. Recently I began reading some of these for the first time since the end of the war in 1945.
I was particularly touched by Horace, the eldest, telling his next two brothers who were both entering the military (Army and Navy) regrets about missing their graduations, his inability to send a gift to them but promising to "make up for it" when he did return home, and the need to be careful in all that they did — and the encouragement to 'do your best'. Reading between the lines, one feels the strength of brotherly love and devotion from a now widely separated family.
Reading from a letter to my mother Isabel, Horace made reference to asking her and his aunt Ruth McDougald Beaver, if they would do some "Christmas Shopping" back in America for him and send the package of American goods for distribution at Christmas. He wanted to repay his British hosts who went out of their way to make his (and other soldiers') stay in England more pleasant, in spite of the air raids and V-2 Rocket bombs falling on them. Quoting from his letter:
"Well Isabel, I hope I haven't forgotten anyone. I know this will be quite a job for you but I hope not too much of one. I know Aunt Ruth will gladly help you. Don't let it worry you but just do the best that you can. I hope you don't think this this is too much; if so I will understand and just do what you can. If it should look like you won't get them mailed before the fifteenth of October let me know in one of your letters and I will send a request for my payday in advance, if this is sufficient. If today was after the first of the month, I could send a money order but instead, I will just write to Ruth to give you a check to take care of these things.
"I'm going to pay for every single thing too, so let's not have any arguments. I know it will run into considerable money so I won't hear to you or Ruth paying for one bit of it. I'm going to ask Ruth if she gives you a check and if she doesn't I will certainly have a settlement with you when I do get home. So thanks so much for everything. Please remember — I DON'T WANT A SINGLE THING FOR MY XMAS. The above mentioned things ARE my Xmas and will give me far more joy than anything that I could ever get for my personal use.
"I think it is mighty sweet of you to take on this responsibility and maybe I can repay you for some of your kindnesses. The above things were only suggestions, so if you have better ideas, please don't hesitate to use them. Be sure that you do as much or more for Mrs. Wing and Miss Wing as any of the others for they have always been most faithful to me and they have something they are sending for you and Ruth already for Xmas so you can see they don't forget you. (I have told them all about you…about being a widow with a very modest salary, and how Ruth with a working husband may have more available funds right now.) Will write more later. Lots of love for now and always, Horace.
Well, the lights went out last night (air raid) and I didn't get to do anything more than a little thinking, but I will start now in the daylight and hope I get through.
Mrs. Wing: An old lady about eighty who is very small and feeble. She has expressed a desire for a rubber hot water bottle. Are they out of the question? (Ed. Note: all rubber was rationed during the war) If so, anything suitable for her.
Miss Wing: Her daughter who is in her early fifties but would like to give the appearance of someone about thirty. A little on the heavy side and of pretty good build. You might pick a blue sweater for her.
Mrs. Metzner: About the same age and size of Miss Wing. She is beginning to grey the least bit. Have never given her a thing but am a faithful visitor to her home.
Mr. Metzner: Her husband who is slightly older, but very active. I imagine socks would be most acceptable (blue of black) and ONLY long ones please. They won't wear short socks over here.
Dennis Metzner: Their son who is 21 and not quite as large as I. I gave him the identification bracelet, remember. He's in the British army so anything you might find would be appreciated I'm sure.
Mrs. Snell: In her late forties and on the large side. She reminds me somewhat of Miss Lottie Blitch back home though not as tall. Have never given her anything but she is the one who never forgets my birthday, Etc. She seems to manage cosmetics etc. but I believe something else would be more acceptable. She is a working lady and spends her time in her book shop and stationery store.
Mr. Snell: Her husband who is not a very large man. About Mr. Watson's size or slightly larger I should think. Socks would probably do just as well as anything. They all are very conservative in socks, ties, etc. wearing mostly black or blue, etc.
Mr. Wood: a very conservative old gentleman in his eighties who is very active. Black socks or handkerchiefs I imagine.
Mrs. Wood: his wife in her eighties also. Very large and cannot get about much. Probably handkerchiefs.
Mrs. Mansfield: also on the large side (aren't they all?) She's not very tall either. I heard her say once that she wore sized 9 ½ hose and imagine they would be mighty nice for her.
Hilda Mansfield: her daughter who wears a size 9 hose. Anything would be appreciated. She's about thirty and still going strong as she has no connections so anything sort of youthful so that she might not become an old maid.
Mr. Mansfield: their husband and father. Probably socks about 11 in something conservative.
Mrs. Westlake: You remember her description I'm sure. I imagine stockings or handkerchiefs or cosmetics either would be suitable. Have plenty of money but there are many things they can no longer get because of rationing.
Mr. Westlake: Las Xmas I gave him socks, so probably handkerchiefs, a nice tie, or 616 film would either be appreciated.
Muriel Wood: In her forties with two daughters and a son. Very slim build and about normal height. Any kind of cosmetics, hose, handkerchiefs or most anything.
Corinne Wood: her daughter whom I see when I'm in London. Twenty and blond. She is a voluntary nurse and wears black uniform so probably black ties, hose or any clothing matters would be great appreciated.
Marjory Wood: Her sister who is eighteen and still in civvies (Ed Note: civilian clothes as opposed to a uniform worn by so many British volunteers) Very attractive and youthful girl. She wanted some Max Factor make-up and some 620 film, so use your judgment.
Kenneth Wood: their brother who is a little older than my brother Mike but very tall. He's in school in London so anything for that age would be appreciated. He's just wearing his first long pants, so out of the "child" age.
Mr. Newell: about seventy and very nice to me. Socks (11 ½), handkerchiefs, or tie would be grateful for.
Mrs. Newell: his wife about 55 and very active. Used to be a school teacher. Hose or cosmetics would be as good as anything I should think."
So there is Horace's shopping list for his mother and aunt back in America, to spread a little cheer to the British hosts who have been so kind and grateful to share with him their meager holdings. While America more recently entered into this war, Great Britain had been at it for some time longer and so many things were either rationed or unavailable and would prove to be a real treat. Hose, a nice handkerchief, some film, or cosmetics with a name brand would spread great delight under a meager British war torn household.
As we head out this season 2012 shopping for iPads, iPhones, iPods, tablets, or the millions of items lining the Christmas shopping lists of today, it is well to remember that it was not always thus. A lonely GI going on his third year in England might not be able to give gold, frankincense and myrrh, but simpler gifts given in heartfelt neighborly thanks became very meaningful in those years between 1940 and 1945 when all of Britain stood tall against Nazi forces and proved, with a little help from friends, that right will win out in the end.
Note: This vignette circa 1943 would indicate that most every person listed has passed on, except perhaps one of the younger daughters or sons mentioned who would now be in the nineties. No way of knowing. Horace returned home, picked up his life, found his pre-war girlfriend then married with children, remained single, established an automobile dealership in his southeast Georgia hometown, became his church's organist, built a nice home, and attended with friends a Gator Bowl football game in Jacksonville on the night of Dec. 27, 1958. Returning home, during the night, suffered a massive stroke and passed away on Dec. 28th at the age of 39.

Most files these days are made with lossy formats, so any changes made and resaving means you lose a certain amount of quality, even saving as same as project settings. The compression factor just keeps compressing.
So this first step was fine with my GS300 but appears not to be possible for any modern camera as VS understands only a tiny amount of video files.
I'm sorry, but how many video file types have you tried?
However, when I look at youtube I find that some people have used VS with a Canon EOS 550d and got great results? I wonder how they did it?
Maybe they bought Quicktime Pro? Maybe they converted using some other conversion utility? Maybe their set up and order of installing apps, which apps they have installed, not installed compared to yourself means they can work with the programme and files. It's a complicated business. As they have done it, it sort of rules out all your other arguements and criticisms that VS can't work with files from your camera!!

Last Wednesday, I attended the Newbark event at one of my favorite LA gems - Just One Eye. Newbark was in full display, offering their A/W 2012 collection for pre-sale and featured their short film Highland Dreams directed by Samuel Bayer, featuring Michele Ouellet.
Newbark is a LA based footwear and handbag line founded and created by sisters Maryam Malakpour and Marjan Malakpour. The fashionable yet functional shoes are all hand crafted in Los Angeles using supple leathers, sturdy canvas, and furs. I was particularly charmed by the English smoking slippers and fur lined knee boots.

Hopefully I'm not duplicating a current thread, I apologize in advance. This is my first year at stagecoach and am officially being humbled here. I'm blown away by all the awesome campsite and stagecoach creations on the various threads. I feel compelled to make something ASAP.
I was thinking making a thread where everyone can show off their awesome creations in one place would be cool.

The Sens have so many question marks this season, I really have no expectations. I have no guesses either because the season could go so many ways and after it is over, my hindsight thoughts would be, "yeah, I should have seen that coming." I like the fact that so many Sens (and potential Sens) played meaningful hockey during the lockout - 19 players in total and that will surely help in getting the jump on some teams that had a large majority of thier players not finding work elsewhere. Also, Ottawa will rely on the Bingo boys as keys to their season - at least 7 of them will see NHL this season IMO. But, let's look at all the legitimate question marks: Michalek - Can he play as well as last year and stay healthy? He has stayed active during the lockout and that will surely help. No way could he have stayed healthy jumping into game action so quickly if he didn't play overseas. A lot of people think Michalek can't really get better than what they saw last season as it really was a best-case season for him. Spezza - Another key player that played real games this lockout. As long as he does everything he did last season and stays healthy, I'm not worried. Actually, him and Karlsson are really the only two players I'm not worried about this season. Latendresse - What isn't a question mark with him? Health, production, chemistry after only 10 days of practices and no game play with the Sens. Silfverberg - Can he handle big minutes if that is the plan for him? He proved a lot in his short time in Bingo this season. The NHL is a different animal, but he saw playoff action last season, so nothing should surprise him. Regin - Signed overseas for the lockout, but came back early on his own terms. The question will always be health, health, health? Turris - Stayed active overseas and is Ottawa's #2 center without a doubt. The Sens need him to take a big step up this season and anything less might cost the Sens a playoff spot. Alfredsson - is God. 40 years old, didn't play games during the lockout. He's a beast but will jumping into game action lead to an injury? He should not be playing the PK anymore, even though I think the Sens will need help in that area. I expect him to get some games off this season and watch from the pressbox - this will be Alfie's call to make. Look for a Bingo boy to be called up in his absence if roster limits permit. Smith - Perfect 3rd line center, played some games overseas as well. Chemistry shouldn't be an issue with his linemates/teammates from last season. Nothing worries me with Smith either, but just want to see him continue his progression. He might take on too big of an agitator/fighter role with the loss of some toughness in the offseason - penalities may ensue (see Borowiecki in the AHL this year). Neil - Didn't play games, but no one should ever question him, so I won't be the first. Greening - Also stayed active by playing in Denmark. Where will he lineup? It could be on any of the 4 lines and would be nice if he could pot 3 more goals than last season and hit the 20 mark. Will be tough if Latendresse beats him out on the top 2 lines. O'Brien - Will need to get up to speed in a hurry as I think he will be asked to play a much bigger role on the PK. He didn't play anywhere during the lockout. Condra and Daugavins - played overseas and are huge PK killers that will be leaned on in that aspect. Condra needs to get the monkey off his back early. He struggled all year around the net in some prime scoring opportunities last season. As for the thin defence: Methot - Stayed around Ottawa during the lockout. Will he be able to keep up to Karlsson and log the minutes that will be asked of him? Huge question mark. High hopes. Karlsson - enough said. Phillips - Top 4 is not a good spot for him anymore. Stayed home during the lockout. This defence is going to be a mess I think. Gonchar - Played overseas, played well there and played great last season. Last year of his contract, we need him to play the same way. Wiercioch - His game is better suited to the NHL, but will be a trial by fire. Played great for Bingo this season. Benoit - Don't even know if he will be the #6 guy, but he is my choice. Questions abound. Lundin - When he comes back from his broken finger, he slides right into the #6 spot. Looking forward to watching him. Who knows? Goalies: Anderson will be rusty. He is streaky to begin with, but with this shortened season, the leash will be short before Bishop takes over. Bishop - Great AHL numbers after a slower start. Will get 30%-40% of the starts until Anderson gets in game shape. The biggest loss this season, other than Cowen of course, if Filip Kuba. Those 2 names were the Sens PK monsters. Look for that to struggle. Phillips needs to step up and he will asked to no question. The whole defence is worrisome. I really can see a sign/trade coming for any number of solid veteran Dmen. I haven't mentioned Borowiecki yet because I think he is trying to fill a role in Bingo that is making him take a lot of stupid penalties at the worst times. He is still a very viable option in Ottawa. Same with Gryba. If you can play D, you are an option. In Coach Paul MacLean we trust. You too Bryan Murray, go trade for Hjalmarsson, Sutton, Ballard, Erskine or all we really need back is BRIAN LEE!!! Easier route is just use your cap room and sign one of Huskins or Colin White. Please stay away from Eaton or Jurcina. I expect an 8th place finish in the East, either that or Seth Jones to fix our D. This team will go as far as its offence takes it this season, really no different than last. Last edited by notch4077; 01-10-2013 at 02:40 PM. Reason: Spelling is horrendous. |
The D is a big issue because Cowen and Kuba are gone. Replaced by Methot (who I think will do fine), but you are going to see the Sens get worn down in their end. I just said the same thing about our offence though. It's our lifeline once again. Looking forward to it. |
Assistant GM Time Murray was also just on Team1200 radio and this is a quick rundown of what he said:
- Huge advantage coming out of the gate this season because so many of the Sens stayed active this lockout (overseas and AHL). As many as 17 of the 23-man roster should already be game shape or close. - Cody Ceci will get an invite to camp - if nothing more than to reset his season. The 67's have had a rough ride in the OHL this year and Ceci was just traded to Owen Sound. This invite to camp will recharge him and get him excited for a Memorial Cup push with Owen Sound. They couldn't think of any negatives that inviting him to camp could bring. - Stefan Noesen will be invited to camp as well. He is suspended for 10 games right now and missed the WJHC because of it. This gives him a chance to play hockey while he is suspended. Plymouth Whalers are very happy he is getting an invite because when his suspension is over, he will come back into their lineup ready to go and with NHL camp experience to draw from. - Mika Zibanejad may play this weekend in Bingo. They were extra cautious with him and held him out longer than Mika wanted becasue they were doing so well in the AHL. Good things come from winning, letting ZBad rest was one of those things. - My estimated 5/6 pairing for Ottawa this year was Wiercioch and Benoit. That seems be a pretty good guess as Tim Murray spoke about them as well. 3 or 4 Bingo Dmen will be invited, Borowiecki and maybe one more. - Didn't rule out possibility of a trade to bring in help for Ottawa's D, but at some point you need to give someone in your organization a chance to prove his worth. - 26 or 27 will be invited to camp. 15 forwards, 8 or 9 D and 3 goalies. - All 3 goalies have 100% confidence from the organization. He wouldn't care if Coach Paul MacLean said he thinks Lehner should stay in the NHL. If that is what the coach says, they will probably have to make it happen. One-way (Bishop) versus two-way contracts (Lehner) will factor in only slightly. I have to laugh at the one. |
Do you guys see a big breakout for Turris? I also read somewhere that he may have put on a fair amount of muscle.
What do you guys think he can do this year. I am considering making a move for him. |
He has worked hard this offseason for sure. I've read anywhere from putting on 15-18 pounds. I think it will help him, Turris is a puck possession type player and this extra weight should help. I haven't seen pics of him or anything but he trained with his good friend, Bingo Player and soon-to-be current Sens Patrick Wiercioch - who put on the same amount of weight as Turris - and Wiercioch has been a beast. With that, I assume the weight was put on properly and will be quality muscle with functional ability. Last edited by notch4077; 01-09-2013 at 04:16 PM. |
I just dropped Zibanejad for Damien Brunner. It hurt, but I read that he wasn't invited to camp and his chances of making the team full-time this season are slim.
I couldn't see keeping Z over my other young keepers (Tarasenko, Schenn, Granlund), and I figured Brunner has a better shot at making an impact this year. So...Sens experts....was that a bad move? Will Z make the team and have an impact this year?
10-team Keeper. Everyone keeps 12 (last season - Bold) + 3 (players with less than 164 NHL games played -last season - Bold Italics). Points for G (2), A (2), PIM (.1), Hit (.1) SHP(1), W(4), SO(8) Must dress 4C, 4LW, 4RW, 6D, 1G C - E. Staal, Tavares , Bergeron, Turris, Zibanejad, Granlund LW - Kovalchuk, E. Kane, Pacioretty, Zetterberg Filpulla, Latendresse RW - Iginla,Wheeler, Pominville, Tarasenko, Doan, Silfverberg D - Karlsson, Phaneuf, Edler, Green, Kronwall, Pitkanen, Keith, Burns G - Rinne, Schneider My all time favourites: |
I chose Brunner and Kreider over Z last night in our draft as well.
Good move.
Zibanenad may see some action in the NHL this season, but not early on. He has been out for quite a bit with concussion issues this season. He is just coming back into the AHL lineup now. He won't make any significant impact for 3-5 years anyway. Don't 2nd guess your decision. |

Summary: This is a sample of the speech an employer might give at a Christmas party, taking Santa as the employer speaking to his worker elves.
Sample Holiday Speech
Has it ever occurred to you that our work is rather like that of the Inland Revenue? We have a record of every family. We send someone to visit regularly and we have a definite cut-off date. The only difference is, of course, that, whatever about the people from the Tax Office we are universally loved.
Tonight it's time for our Christmas party and, it has to be said, you are the very essence of the Christmas spirit of giving. Over the last twelve months you have been hammering, sawing and gluing. You have dressed dolls, put whistles on trains and sewed in Teddy bears eyes.
You are also probably the most inventive workers of all times because every year you produce new "Must have" toys for boys and girls. You know all about the latest technology as well as about the age old dreams of children everywhere.
Tonight I want to thank you for your efforts this year. As you all know children these days have very high expectations. So it is not easy to please them. Yet you always manage to produce the goods that bring excited squeals on Christmas morning. I think that is really because you are still yourselves children at heart.
If that is the case you will love a party and tonight is the night for your annual bash. As you can see we have asked Jack Frost to help us decorate the North Pole especially for the occasion and it is glittering in the moonlight. Mrs. Claus has been busy too and I know you will agree that no social committee could have come up with a better feast than the one she has prepared tonight. You will understand why I cannot ever seem to diet when you see the Christmas cake and puddings she has prepared. I hope Rudolph will be able to pull the weight of my sleigh later tonight.
Just now, though, it is time to rest, relax and have fun. You will be able to chat to your friends and exchange stories and jokes. It's time to forget the order books and the administration of answering thousands of letters from all over the world. It's time for our parcelling department to put away the coloured paper and ribbons and put on their party clothes.
Some of you have formed an elves band this year and we look forward very much to dancing to the song you have just recorded. I believe it's called, "Santa's standing at the stocking that's hanging on the Christmas tree"
Worker bees are very much respected all over the world for their productivity. As far as I am concerned Santa's helpers are even better workers and I have the beautifully wrapped gifts on my sleigh to prove it. I thank you for the hard work you have put in during the year and I am sure that next year you will be even more productive and you'll probably record a follow up album too
Just now, though, it's your time, a time to be merry little elves. You are the very epitome of Christmas past and, I am sure, of Christmases to come. Together let's raise our glasses in a toast to the season you make possible and the night you make magical. Here's to Christmas everyone!
As Santa's elves you've been busy
Working so hard the whole year
Making the toys the children love
All wrapped up to be pulled by my deer.
You're dressed up and ready to party
Set on having a wonderful time
Singing and dancing and having a ball
While the Christmas bells they do chime.
So thank you for the work you have done
Now forget it, it's time to have fun
You're wonderful workers this is so true
And I am so proud of each one of you
You make Christmas for others my little elves
May it be happy too for yourselves.
