BRISTOL, Tenn. – A season ago, the King University women's cross country team captured the Conference Carolinas championship, marking their first conference title in school history. The Tornado are primed for a repeat in 2013, returning four of their top five runners from the Conference Carolinas Championships.
In 2013, King placed all five runners in the top-15 of the Conference Carolinas Championships en route to their first conference title in school history. The Tornado return four all-conference runners from last season, leaving expectations high for head coach Peter Dalton's senior laden squad in 2013.
This year's version of the Tornado will have plenty of experience, led by Kendra Sokol. The senior from Kingsport, Tenn., leads the senior group as she finished second at the conference meet and was named All-Southeast Region after placing sixth at the NCAA Southeast Regional Championships.
Fellow senior Even Ferrell, who joined Sokol on the all-conference first team, is also in this group. The Richlands, Va., native took home a fifth place finish from the Conference Carolinas Championships in 2012. Eliza Parker, an Oswego, N.Y., native, earned second team all-conference honors after finishing sixth at the conference meet in her junior year. Hannah Witt rounds out the core of seniors as the Mountain City, Tenn., native missed most of last season due to injury.
"The preseason poll says that the women are the odds on favorite to repeat. We feel pretty confident that we have the experience, the fire to repeat, but this year the look is more towards regionals and nationals," Dalton said. "Last year we were fourth in region, things just didn't work out on the day, and when you're in cross country that just happens. The top three go from regionals, and we were fourth, we barely missed it. It was a bitter pill for the women to swallow. I think with the four seniors this year, Hannah Witt, Kendra Sokol, Eliza Parker and Evan Ferrell, I think those ladies have a little unfinished business, for lack of a better term."
Sophomore Tabitha Arwood will look to build off of a successful freshman season where the Lebanon, Va., native finished 15th at the conference championships and was named to the all-conference third team. Carly Griffith, a junior from Charlotte, N.C., will also look to crack King's top-five after the competing in two meets a season ago.
Rounding out the 2013 squad will be freshmen Tiffany Gargiulo (Oviedo, Fla.) and April Thomas (Kingsport, Tenn.).
King was selected to repeat as conference champions by the league's coaches I the Conference Carolinas Preseason Coaches' Poll. The Tornado received seven first place votes 79 points, edging out Mount Olive College's 74 points and two first place votes for the top spot. Belmont Abbey College was selected third after receiving the final first place vote.
The Tornado will be tested early in the season as they open on September 6 at the Eye Opener Invitational in Spartanburg, S.C., and follows that with the Virginia Tech Invitational on September 20. King will go for their second straight Conference Carolinas title on October 25 in Concord, N.C. The NCAA Southeast Regional is scheduled for November 9 and the NCAA Division II National Championships will take place on November 23 in Spokane, Wash.

Royals shut out Twins to earn series sweep
Kansas City, MO – Billy Butler put Kansas City up in the first inning with a solo home run and Wade Davis, Bruce Chen and Kelvin Herrera took care of the rest, as the Royals blanked the Minnesota Twins, 3-0, to complete the series sweep at Kauffman Stadium.
Davis (1-0) struck out six in five innings of work before giving way to Chen, who gave up just two hits in three innings. Herrera struck out the side for his second save of the season.
"I had a little trouble early," Davis said. "I didn't make it too easy on myself, but the goal was to keep it where it was. I had a lead and Bruce did a great job coming up behind me."
Jeff Francoeur also hit a home run for Kansas City, which has won four straight contests. Salvador Perez went 3-for-4 with a double.
Liam Hendriks (0-1) picked up the loss despite allowing just one run in five innings while striking out four. He is now just 1-11 in his brief MLB career.
Joe Mauer and Chris Parmelee had two hits apiece for the Twins.
Butler got KC going with his two-out bomb to straight away center field off of Hendriks.
"I felt like I threw the ball well. It was just that one pitch," Hendriks said.
The Twins nearly responded in the top of the second. After surrendering singles to Parmelee and Brian Dozier and then hitting Pedro Florimon, Davis proceeded to strikeout Aaron Hicks, who went 0-for-5 on the night, and Mauer. Josh Willingham then popped up to short to end the frame.
Davis settled down from that point on, allowing just one hit and one walk in his final three innings.
Kansas City made it 2-0 in the seventh on Francoeur's solo shot. Later in the inning, Alcides Escobar plated Chris Getz with a bloop single to right.
Game Notes
The Twins went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left 12 men on base ... Royals' hitters struck out just four times.

Skip to comments.War story: US vet who caught Japan's Tojo speaks
Posted on 09/11/2010 5:02:49 AM PDT by nuconvert
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. John J. Wilpers Jr. went decades without publicly revealing details about his international headline-making exploits at the end of World War II, a string of silence befitting a former Army intelligence officer-turned-career CIA employee.
It took the belated awarding of a Bronze Star to the upstate New York native to finally loosen the lips of the man credited with preventing former Japanese prime minister Hideki Tojo from committing suicide on Sept. 11, 1945, nine days after Japan officially surrendered. Tojo was eventually put on trial for war crimes and executed in 1948.
"I never wanted it in the first place," Wilpers, 90, said of the attention he received after capturing Tojo and again earlier this year when he finally received the medal.
(Excerpt) Read more at google.com ...
I had an uncle that was a marine for the entire war, he was already a Sgt when PH was attacked.
The only thing I could ever get him to say was "War is so horrible I hope to God you never have to find out" He died and took his exploits to the grave in 1968.
I wish I could talk to him now.
War is where you do horrible things to your enemy as he does horrible things to you and whoever's horrible things destroy his enemy's ability to do horrible things wins.
I wish I could still talk to my Dad, he's been dead for 30+ years. He never spoke much about WW2. All I ever got out of him was that he was the XO on a destroyer in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. I never even knew the name of his ship.
Try William Manchester's 'Goodbye, Darkness".
Very riveting account of his experience(s) as a wartime Marine in the Pacific.
So many nuggets, insights and truths in the annals of time have come from the lips of eyewitnesses and participants in important historical events.
There'd be gaping holes in the chronicles of civilized man if all participants in events clammed up.....even for the most commendable of personal reasons such as shyness, self-deprecation, modesty or trying to avoid attention for oneself or family.
At the least, national-security-vetted memoirs can always be released after an honorable death.
I had no idea that Tojo attempted suicide by gunshot in his own home to avoid imminent arrest and I'm a pretty good student of history.
Thanks for posting.....and who can get that photographic clipping turned around, LOL.
Try; War's End
By Charles W. Sweeney
He flew the photography plane over Hiroshima and the Drop plane over Nagasaki.
He wanted the true story put in print to nagate revisionist history.
My uncle was a First Marine Raider in WW2 and I didn't even get that much out him. I feel that I should have pressed him but I that was many years ago.
Good man. Sorry to pass along my neck crick to everyone, lol!
Thanks - I've read (and reread) it many times.
First..."The best way of finding Tojo was to find our own U.S. newspaper people, because they were there well ahead of us," Wilpers recalled...
...got me to thinking how today's ass-kissing "press corps" would take you to Obama. It wouldn't be the enemy's press-corps, but our own. And the fact that there don't seem to be any real investigative journalists like those Mr. Wilpers describes.
Second, you have to love Mr. Wilpers nonchalance and humble comment "I just happened to be the one who busted open the door." A true American with firm American characteristics.
If you've never read it, I highly recommend The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors. You may understand your father's reticence to talk about his experience after reading that book. It's an amazing recounting of the battle.
I also recommend With the Old Breed, mentioned above, for the same reason; it tells the story of the island war in the Pacific as the men on the beach experienced it.

Pinoy Australia Information Forum was founded by a small group of Filipinos whose aim is to migrate to Australia. It is now a leading online Filipino-Australian community site for Filipinos in Australia and a valuable resource for people also planning to migrate to Australia.
I'm very happy to announce PinoyAu Forum's new app called "SimplyStall" . It's a new Gumtree like service for Pinoys in Australia but in a way better!
So if you have any items just collecting dust? Why not convert it to cash?
If you are selling new items or products or wish to give an item away for free then this might be a good avenue for you.
This project is a new initiative to unify and have a common portal for Pinoys in Australia to sell and share stuffs.
It's now available on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Please do try it out. I'd appreciate if you can help me spread the good news and start selling your old or new stuffs.

Integrated hangar bay
Aug 19
Unlike my 2007 Enterprise model, this version has an integrated hangar bay. This will allow me to have shots of shuttlecraft taking off and landing shown from a P.O.V. outside the ship. The integrated bay will be relatively low poly; I'll still have a higher-poly version for closeups.

Enterprise orbiting Earth
Jul 28
In honor of today's historic ruling in favor of marriage equality in Virginia, here is a new image of the Enterprise orbiting the Earth that I recently rendered. The background image of Mother Earth is a public domain image taken during U.S. space shuttle mission STS-71 of the Earth and the late, great Mir space station. You can view the original background image here.
The Enterprise visits the spectacular Orion Nebula in this new image I completed over the weekend for a friend of mine. The background image is from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.

Just over one week into 2007 Intel kicked off the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas by showcasing a demo machine that was to be known as 'V8'. It was a system that was prepared by Intel just to show the media that consumers could go build a dual-socket platform with Intel retail products just like what AMD was doing on their QuadFX system. The only difference between the two dual-socket 'workstations' was the fact that Intel used two quad-core processors and AMD only had two dual-core processors. This proved to be a crushing blow for AMD in a sense as they didn't have anything to return fire with.
That was half a year ago and it seems that AMD still doesn't have a quad-core processor on the market. For now, one can purchase two quad-core Intel Xeon X5365 processors (3.0GHz) and the Intel S5000XVN Workstation Board to create their own 'V8' system. The heart of the platform is the Intel 5000X-series chipset that powers the S5000XVN workstation board that utilizes FB-DIMM memory modules.
To fully understand and to witness this type of system we assembled one from scratch to see just what it could do. Using the same Intel S5000XVN Workstation Board that Intel showed off at CES and newer Intel Xeon X5365 processors along with 4GB of Samsung FB-DIMMs we set off to see just how fast this system really is against rival processors from both AMD and Intel. How do you think this system will do against the AMD QuadFX FX-74 system or the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 system? Sit back and put your five point racing harness on because this 'V8' has some serious torque even without being overclocked!

Anal play is the one sexual subject that's guaranteed to put the 'oooh' into 'taboo'. But this hidden pleasure zone deserves to be explored as anal stimulation can enhance every sexual scenario, for both women and men.
Anal sex toys are specially designed products for anal penetration. The shapes are often tapered or graduated allowing for easy insertion, before flaring out or swelling in size to stimulate those internal pleasure zones.
Smooth and sensual, anal sex toys are designed for use by men and women and feel equally as fantastic.
Products featured: Lovehoney Beginner's Anal Beads, Lovehoney Bionic Bullet Vibrating Butt Plug, Lovehoney Bionic Bullet Beaded Anal Wand Vibrator
Do anal sex toys hurt?
Anal penetration can be painful if you are inexperienced but this is just one kind of anal play. The sphincter muscle ring is rich in nerve endings and welcomes gentle stimulation by fingers, tongues or toys like the gently rounded tip of the Butt Tingler Vibrating Butt Plug.
The perineum, just beneath the anal opening, also appreciates soft and sensual stimulation. Try running a few Lovehoney Beginner's Anal Beads over the perineum as part of a sensual massage or adding a little Durex Play Tingle Personal Lubricant as you explore softly with your fingers. You could also begin by stimulating the area with your lips and tongue, known as rimming.
If you take your time and do as much or as little as you like, you'll soon see why one of the last great sexual taboos is enjoyed by around a third of western couples, gay and straight.
How do I bring up the subject with a partner?
Good sex is all about communication, so discuss your anal fantasies before ploughing ahead.
Talk about buying anal sex toys or indulging in anal play outside of the bedroom so there is no pressure on either partner. Be honest, say why you're interested and listen to what your partner has to say too. Start the conversation light and jovial, so no one will feel offended if there is any rejection.
If you take your partner by surprise, they may take flight - anal sex is a common fantasy but it's not shared by all. Similarly, if you express a desire for anal and your partner is keen, calm the enthusiasm for a short while so you can figure out what anal sex toys are right for you.
It's also a good idea to start off small - suggest using some beginners toys at first, rather than ploughing ahead with a rusty trombone (which is when one partner rims the anus using their mouth while stimulating the penis with their hands - a more advanced technique!)
How do I use anal sex toys?
Anal Beads
Anal beads are more newbie-friendly than larger insertable toys, so they are a great place to start if you're a beginner. The Tracey Cox Supersex Silicone Anal Beads are graduated in size allowing you to take as much or as little as you like.
Lubricate yourself and your anal beads, then gently push the first bead inside you. You can then 'pop' each bead in slowly until you've taken as much as you are comfortable with.
Anal beads feel fantastic when left in during intercourse or masturbation and can be pulled out during orgasm to intensify the sensations.
Anal Dildos
If you've used any kind of sex toys before, then an anal dildo should be easy for you to get to grips with. Available in numerous different shapes and sizes, we advise starting with something small but textured, like the Lovehoney BASICS Realistic Anal Prober.
Make sure that you've coated your sex toy in a dedicated anal lubricant and that the opening of your anus is well lubricated as well. The firmness of an anal dildo allows it to slide in with ease, but you may find that you have to angle your body so it fits perfectly and stimulates all the right places.
Anal dildos allow you to experience the thrusting fun of anal sex at your own speed and depth, but remember - always keep your hand on your anal dildo and don't push it too far!
Butt Plugs
As one of the most popular anal sex toys, there will be a butt plug to fit you! Designed to sit internally and stay there for long-term stimulation, butt plugs usually have a tapered head, a wide body and a slim neck with flared base, allowing it to remain in place even during the friskiest of sex!
Apply a liberal amount of lubricant to the butt plug and to your body, then ease the tip in slowly. As this is the slimmest part of the plug, you may struggle to get it in at first due to the incredible flexibility, however angling it towards your stomach will make it easier to achieve penetration. Gently insert more of the butt plug until you have reached the slim neck. You can then keep your plug in place as a naughty reminder whilst you go about your business or use it alongside other forms of stimulation.
Many people like to use a butt plug, such as the Lovehoney BASICS Slimline Butt Buddy Butt Plug, just before anal intercourse as it will gently stretch them so they can take all of their partner's penis comfortably.
How do I know if I'm clean… you know… down there?
There's no delicate way to put it - anal sex can be a messy experience. However there are ways to keep things safe, clean and hygienic.
Firstly, it is advised that you use the toilet at least 30 minutes before any sort of anal activities. In general, faeces is not stored in the lower area of the anus where a penis or sex toy can reach unless you need to go to the bathroom, so it should be fairly clean anyway.
However, this brings us on to our second point; you may also want to use a douche or enema to make sure you're squeaky clean! The basic idea of a douche is that it gently deposits water into the rectal passage, removing any compacted faeces as gravity does its thing and draws the water back out of you.
Finally, make sure you use condoms on your anal sex toys. This will prevent bacterial build up and make it easy to clean afterwards. It also gives your sex toys (or your partner's penis) a super smooth surface so no left over faecal matter can get stuck in it.

So, what's next?
If you enjoyed your first experience with anal sex toys, then why not consider going slightly larger? The Lovehoney Butt Tingler 5 Function Vibrating Butt Plug not only has added vibrations but also a slightly larger size that will give you that satisfying stretched sensation. Just remember to keep the lube coming!
If anal sex isn't for you, then don't feel like you have to continue. Some people love it and some people hate it, so don't feel like you have to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable.

Loyola silences doubters
Full disclosure: I was one of many media members who did not think very highly of the Loyola men's lacrosse team's chances for postseason success prior to the start of the 2012 season. I had put the Greyhounds in the "others considered" portion of my first poll of the season but still had them ranked outside of the top 20. And coach Charley Toomey gently reminded me prior to the beginning of the NCAA tournament of that snub. At the time, I laughed it off. In the end, Toomey and the rest of the team got the last chuckle as they captured the school's first Division I national championship in any sport with a 9-3 victory over Maryland on Memorial Day. Loyola had some memorable games that served as turning points. The 13-8 victory over Duke put the Greyhounds on everyone's radar. The 12-9 win against Denver, the reigning Eastern College Athletic Conference champion, infused the players with even more confidence. And beating the Pioneers for the third time in the NCAA quarterfinal round reaffirmed Loyola's status as the top seed in the tournament. But to me, the Greyhounds' biggest win followed their most disappointing loss. Loyola was only an Eric Lusby shot-off-the-goal-post away from defeating Johns Hopkins, but the Blue Jays escaped with a 10-9 decision in overtime. Looming on the schedule was a second meeting with Denver in the ECAC tournament, and things appeared bleak as the Pioneers scored seven unanswered goals in regulation to send the game into overtime. But I watched the ESPNU broadcast of Scott Ratliff's breakaway goal off the faceoff. It was a scintillating moment for the program and one that seemed to stamp Loyola as the most resilient team in the tournament. -- Edward Lee

Sprites for a space shooter game. Pixelstylish. Pack contains sprites for 6 weapons and their icons (to shop stages for example), 6 ship upgrade icons, player's ship, enemy space worm (boss!), hud graphics (scoreboard + 2 hatches for transition between screens), planets for background and some misc objects.
Every object is in it's own layer, named and organized in .psd file. There is also a png file with transparent background for every object if you don't have photoshop.
Note: preview image is low quality jpg -> .png & .psd will look a lot better/sharper
Tip: Most of these sprites are under 100×100 pixels in size, but if you want to use them in HD screen resolutions, resize them with multipliers like x2, x3×4 etc (no decimals like x1.5). Just make sure that you have Image Interpolation setting set to Nearest Neighbor (in Photoshop: Preferences > General)when resizing to maintain the pixelly style without getting blurry graphics.

That is a really good point. The potential to lose that many points could deter farming. Personally I don't see why people care about farmers.
Not really (i.e totally the opposite). If a decent quads team put in for a public game - they could hammered by an expert at quads who would get 60 pts a pop.
It would be the way to go to make conqueror.
It may discourage people from leaving public games open to be picked off (when they thought it'd be team vs team).
I think this proposal should get back on track.
It's a great 1v1 idea.
before the game opened you would be able to choose if your game is a normal quads, or if its a 1 vs team

Grading Policy
California State University, Fresno uses the standard 4.0-Point scale to determine grades and grade point average (GPA). The values for each letter grade are explained below in addition to other letter designations and values;
This symbol indicates that the student was permitted to drop the course after the third full week of classes. A course with a «W» grade is not counted as work attempted. It carries no connotation of quality of student's performance and is not used in calculating grade point average or progress points. Withdrawals after the third week of classes and prior to the last three weeks of classes are permissible only for serious and compelling reasons. Permission to withdraw during this period is granted only with the approval of the instructor and the department chairman or school dean. All requests for permission to withdraw during this period and all approvals must be made in writing an prescribed forms which state the reasons for the withdrawal. Withdrawals are not permitted during the final three weeks of instruction except in cases such as accident or serious illness, where the cause of withdrawal is clearly beyond the student's control and the assignment of an «Incomplete» is not practicable. Ordinarily withdrawals in this time period involve total withdrawal from the campus. They must be endorsed by the dean of students.
|Credit / No Credit
These symbols are used in courses where letter grades are not deemed appropriate. A student desiring to enroll in a course on an optional credit, no-credit basis must obtain from the Records Office the appropriate form, which requires the advisor's signature and, if a student is requesting permission to take more than one course in a single term on an optional credit, no-credit basis, the signature of the appropriate school dean. Students may change their enrollment among credit, no-credit grading and letter grading up to census date which is the 15th instructional day. A grade of «CR» is awarded for work of «C» or better; the grade «NC» is awarded for the grade of C- or below. Courses taken on an optional credit, no-credit basis may not be counted toward major or minor, concentration, or cognate requirements for graduation. Credit, no-credit registration is also used for all students enrolled in most courses numbered 0-99, not counting toward graduation, and in some special courses such as Music 423, Individual Instruction, where letter grades are not deemed appropriate. Ten units of credit, no-credit course work can be used in meeting the general education requirements. Up to a maximum of 45 units of credit, no-credit course work completed at CSUB may be counted toward a baccalaureate.
|Report Delayed
An assigned grade has not been submitted by the appropriate instructor of the course. Check with the instructor of the specific course for grade.
Admitted students may file a request with the Office of Admissions and Records to audit a course. An auditor does not receive baccalaureate credit for the audited course. Auditors pay the same registration fees as other students and may not change their registration to obtain credit after the last day to add a course. Likewise students registered for credit may not change to audit status after the last day to add a class. Auditors are not permitted to take examinations in the course. A grade of AU for an audited course is posted on a student's permanent record if, in the opinion of the instructor, the student has attended enough class meetings to receive a grade of «AU»; otherwise, a «W» is recorded.
|Report in Progress (formerly SP - Satisfactory Progress )
The «RP» symbol is used in connection with courses, such as the master's thesis and certain modularized courses, which may be designed to extend beyond one academic term. The symbol indicates that work in progress has been evaluated as satisfactory to date but that the assignment of a precise grade must await the completion of additional course work. Cumulative enrollment in units attempted may not exceed the total number applicable to the student's educational objective. Work is to be completed within a stipulated time period. This may not exceed one year except for graduate degree theses' for which the time may be up to two years but may not exceed the overall time limit for completion of all master's degree requirements. Any extension of time limit must receive prior authorization by the appropriate school dean.
This symbol is recorded when a student has been doing satisfactory work in a course, but for unforeseen reasons judged appropriate by the instructor should be permitted additional time to complete the requirements. It is the responsibility of the student to bring pertinent information to the instructor and to reach agreement on the means by which the remaining course requirements will be satisfied. The instructor will submit an «Incomplete» notice and the symbol «I» will be entered on the student's permanent record. A final grade is assigned upon completion and evaluation of the work agreed upon. Each incomplete grade must be replaced by the end of the subsequent term unless the instructor has set an earlier date or submits an Extension of Incomplete form setting a later date and stating the reasons for extending the time. An extension is to be no more than a year from the end of the term in which the Incomplete was incurred. Students may not remove an «Incomplete» by re-enrolling in the course. An «Incomplete» remaining on the student's permanent university record or an transcripts from other institutions after the expiration of the time limit for removal will automatically become an «F» or an «NC» and be counted as such in determining grade point averages and progress points. If a student subsequently completes a course which is recorded as «Incomplete» on a transcript from another institution, it is the student's responsibility to submit a corrected official transcript and to make the request for credit from the Office of Admissions. «Incompletes» earned in summer session must be completed in the next quarter of resident study.
|Incomplete Charged
Indicates a student has not completed the required course work within the allowed time limit. It is counted as a failing grade for grade point average and progress point computation
|Withdrawal Unauthorized (formerly U - Unauthorized
The symbol «WU» indicates that an enrolled student did not withdraw from the course but failed to complete course requirements. It is used when, in the opinion of the instructor, completed assignments or course activities or both were insufficient to make normal evaluation of academic performance possible. For purposes of grade point average and progress point computation this symbol is equivalent to an «F».

Cover System
The ability to take cover in Grand Theft Auto, known henceforth as the "cover system", has long been a feature since the first game, primarily intended to protect the player from gunfire and injury. Development of the feature was initially slow as functionality of the cover system had only been improved gradually in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Grand Theft Auto IV, however, features a significantly overhauled cover system, serving as a crucial gameplay element.
Pre-GTA IV
In GTA games prior to GTA IV, including top-down games, the player is limited to running behind cars and structures in order to cover from gunfire.
With the introduction of crouching in GTA Vice City, the player can also take cover behind shorter objects (eg. cars, boxes, garbage, desks and benches) that are otherwise useless in GTA III so the player's body is less exposed to gunfire. This is especially advantageous on the PC version where the bullets travel straight to the crosshair and not obstructed by barriers usually experienced when using the console or classic controls. Powerful weapons that can only be targeted in first-person view in the console or classic controls are extremely useful in the PC version, being able to target in third person view. GTA San Andreas added the additional ability to move, roll and dodge while crouching.
The use of cover maneuvers by NPCs is also apparent with hostile police officers in GTA Vice City who crouch behind their cars or benches, as well as selected NPCs in GTA San Andreas that are hostile or friendly.
GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories and GTA Chinatown Wars follow GTA III's cover system, as the player cannot crouch. Similarly, GTA Advance follows the even older cover system employed in early top-down games.
Grand Theft Auto IV and its respective episodes dramatically improved the cover system by allowing the player to hide behind nearly any sufficiently large solid object in a single command and attack while behind cover. Because players will receive more severe injuries from gunfire, and gunfights are made more realistic than previous games, cover is far more necessary when in firefights in GTA IV than in prior games.
When the command to take cover is issued, the player will automatically seek the nearest solid surface for cover, running, rolling, sliding, diving and going from cover to cover; depending on the height of the object, the player will either take cover standing or crouching. Once behind cover, the player can strafe left or right if there is room, hugging close to the cover. At the edge of a cover, the player can fire around, either emerging in plain sight of hostiles to open fire (allowing the player to zoom in on their target) before automatically hiding behind cover, or blind fire (by blindly shooting around or over the source of cover); the former tends to be risky if the player poorly times their attack, as most of their body will be exposed to gunfire; likewise, accuracy is significantly reduced when the player chooses to blind fire, unless they player is able to effectively target weak spots on hostiles (as it is still possible to perform headshots using single blind shots with proper aiming).
Virtually any firearm can be utilized while covering; players can even throw or fire/blind fire projectile weapons and explosives (including the Rocket Launcher and Grenade Launcher) while in cover, protecting themselves from splash damage. It is also important to note that the player will not be able to blind fire using a scoped weapon like the Sniper Rifle, although the player can still fire the weapon while emerging from cover; additionally, the usage of scoped weapons while emerging from cover does not employ scoped first person aiming, allowing the player to use the weapon like any other regular firearm, but renders it less useful when it is necessary to deal with long-range targets. The only weapons that are ineffective while the player is in cover is when the player is unarmed or wielding a melee weapon; in these instances, the player will only be able to perform basic covering moves and will not be able to attack in any way.
It is still possible to resort to the traditional crouch-and-shoot tactic effective in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. Similar to GTA San Andreas, the ability to roll dodge is possible in GTA IV when the player aims their weapon (standing or crouching) by moving left or right and issuing the jump command.

Various basic moves while in cover in GTA IV. The cover system allows the player to cling behind nearly any solid object (upper right), minimizing the player's injuries from gunfire. The player can then emerge from cover, aim and shoot (lower right), and take cover again. Players can also strafe sideways (upper left) or peek from cover (lower left).
- Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Players can blind fire while at the edge of their cover, providing suppressing fire. However, accuracy is significantly reduced in this method. Pictured is the player blind firing a Combat Shotgun from the corner of a wall (left), and an Assault Rifle over cover (right).
- Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thrown weapons can also be tossed from cover, as seen here with the player throwing a Molotov cocktail at two homeless people around the entrance to a dilapidated apartment. Thrown weapons are always thrown underarm.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Players will have little in the way of abilities while taking cover wielding a melee weapon (such as the pictured knife) or being unarmed; players will only be able to move around cover, peek out of cover, or center their camera at a close target. Note also the tree the player takes cover has no corners (acting more like a cylinder column).
NPCs in GTA IV are also capable of taking cover while unarmed or equipped with a gun, but do not have the capacity to use thrown weapons. Pictured is a hostile NOOSE unit blindfiring with a Pump Action Shotgun.
- If the player is blindfiring a shotgun of any type in GTA IV, regardless of the model, the player character will always pump it once before resuming firing.

The Justice Department has decided that it will not open an investigation into accusations that the Central Intelligence Agency spied on the Senate Intelligence Committee, nor will it proceed with CIA allegations that panel staffers slipped classified documents from an agency facility, McClatchy confirmed Thursday.
"The department carefully reviewed the matters referred to us and did not find sufficient evidence to warrant a criminal investigation," said Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr.
The development marks an apparent end to an extraordinary feud that spilled into the public forum in early March over the committee's report on the agency's post-9/11 enhanced interrogation program. The dispute included competing Justice Department referrals, with both the CIA and the Senate Intelligence Committee accusing the other of criminal conduct.
Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., furiously took to the Senate floor in March and accused the CIA of monitoring her committee staffers' computers while they compiled the panel's 6,600-page report on the agency's program. The CIA, meanwhile, accused the staffers of walking out of a secure agency facility with classified information.
And underneath it all is the committee's behemoth report, which draws tough conclusions about the CIA's handling of a program that many have characterized as torture.
The actions provoked Feinstein to claim that CIA Director John Brennan had violated the Constitution's separation of powers.
But despite the raging tempers that swirled around the dispute, the Justice Department's decision puts a premature cap on any potential legal fallout and leaves the broken relationship between the agency and Capitol Hill unresolved.
A stone-faced Brennan made his way Thursday to the committee's regularly scheduled closed meeting, refusing to acknowledge questions and slipping through the doors without a word.
Feinstein, who followed shortly, said she was pleased the Justice Department found no grounds on which to investigate her staff. But she had little to say when pressed on the department's decision to forgo an investigation into the CIA's alleged computer monitoring.
"I had nothing to do about what the Justice Department did, but it is what it is and I accept it as such," she said.
Other panel members, however, weren't so accepting.
"While I am pleased that the Justice Department recognized the folly of the CIA's accusations against committee staff, I am deeply disappointed that Justice did not also recognize the gravity of the CIA's actions," Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., said in a statement. "I still want answers from the CIA about its unauthorized search of the committee's computers."
He wasn't alone in objecting to the department's decision.
"I don't think it's the end of the story," said Angus King, an independent from Maine on the committee who caucuses with the Democrats. "They were talking about a criminal investigation, and I think there are other issues beyond that that involve a separation of powers and mutual respect and trust."
One inquiry remains unresolved.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., ordered the Senate's sergeant-at-arms to conduct an independent investigation into the CIA's alleged computer monitoring, an effort that intelligence panel members said is ongoing. However, the potential legal consequences or the status of the investigation are unclear.
"I think the process is working its way, and that's one step in it. We'll see what the sergeant-at-arms comes up with," Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said Thursday.
As the nearly 500-page executive summary of the committee's report moves slowly through the declassification process, Feinstein hopes the Justice Department's decision will turn attention toward the actual content of the report.
"This is the right decision and will allow the committee to focus on the upcoming release of its report on the CIA detention and interrogation program," she said.
The study's executive summary is expected to be released sometime in the coming months. The CIA declined to comment.
Jonathan S. Landay of the Washington Bureau contributed to this report.

How do I get the badges? Is there somewhere I can see them to know what to do?
Well it seems I've got the 9 required badges after some effort. That being the five continent badges and the four mecha badges. I've seen previous badge contests before, but this was most definitely the one that piqued my interest. I love mecha anime, and Super Robot Wars OG is like the distilled essence of the mecha genre. The games are great, and so far OG The Inspector is easily the best animated adaptation that SRWOG has gotten to date. In fact, I signed up for the Crunchy Roll Anime Membership as soon as I heard OG was getting a simulcast. Much thanks to Crunchyroll for that.
@GuyverUnit01 - you simply get them by watching episodes of the show. It's random, of course, and you will get repeats. To see what you've collected so far, just go to your profile page. You get a message telling you you've received one each time, also.
@Amuro1X Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
i have them all continents and robots, the regular badgest and the shadow!!!! good luck to everyone!!!
This is my first first contest in cr, and I've completed mine too..! =D
I haven't been bothered to keep the shadowed badges though, so I was deleting them along the way... Maybe if I have the time within this one week, I'll do another round of shadowed badge collection just for fun... There's a new episode coming tomorrow anyways. =P
It took me about 10x rewatching all the 9eps so far to complete this collection, and I have to say: it does help to get the tiny important bits I've missed here and there from the first time watching the series. It also helps me to sort of understand the whole story, especially since I haven't watched SRWOG: DW. =)
Exie-neesama FTW! XD
"I'm a man who can make the impossible possible."
That was fun! Very nice Anime so far!! Can't wait for the next episode!
Yea, that just happened.
Finally got all 18. I'm not in it for the contest. I just like badges. A lot. I don't usually win anyways.

I wish they would make a way to arrange those items too.

So, like... how are they going to announce the winners? Do the winners just get e-mailed or PMed, and the rest of us are left in darkness and shadow? Or what? Because I've got no idea what's goin' on.

To date only seven days past since the contest finished. Maybe after the holidays the winners shall be announced. They should announce the winners on Christmas, it'd make for a nice gift.
EDIT: It's now been 24 days since the contest concluded. Anyone won yet?
I shall GB...Sorry not enough of it apparently. My word will be made better....

The immediate future of No. 2 overall draft pick Tyler Seguin is one of the biggest issues on my readers' minds, as evidenced by the multitude of questions about whether the forward will be on the NHL roster and where he will play.
Here's a mailbag installment that deals with Seguin, Boston's other rookies, Milan Lucic and David Krejci.
Brad R wrote: My question is about the lines. If Tyler Seguin makes the team out of camp do you think they will make him the third-line center rather than putting him on the wing with a mentor such as Mark Recchi? I think Patrice Bergeron would be able to make the transition to wing much easier and I kind of want the Bruins to take a page out of the Avalanche's book and how they handled Matt Duchene. They started him as a third-line center, at his natural position, and now he is one of the best players on that team, and was my offensive rookie of the year. What do you think?
MK: The Duchene comparison is a solid one, with two major differences: the '10 Colorado Avalanche weren't overflowing with center talent like the '11 Bruins, nor were they considered Stanley Cup (or even playoff) contenders at the outset of last season. The group of pivots the Avs featured, led by Paul Stastny, at the start of last season paled in comparison to Boston's Big Three of Bergeron, Marc Savard and David Krejci.
While Bergeron would probably be able to adapt to a shift back out to wing, his rookie-year position, you don't want to be the Bruins if they move a Selke Trophy-worthy center to the outside and then struggle. The move of Seguin to the wing makes the most sense because it protects him from getting overwhelmed with too much responsibility as a high-profile rookie, and it's also the safe move that won't garner much criticism should it not work.
Bob wrote: I would agree with you that there is no way Seguin is being sent back to junior hockey. Having said that, what are the chances of one of the two other heralded first-rounders making the team (Joe Colborne and Jordan Caron)? Would the B's dump Gregory Campbell if "Jumbo Joe Part Deux" outplays him in camp?
MK: The battles this fall for spots on the bottom two lines are going to be fierce. Both Caron and Colborne will be in the mix with Campbell, Daniel Paille and Brad Marchand, among others. The salary-cap crunch might make it difficult for Colborne or Caron to be on the opening-night roster without really blowing the other guys out of the water, because the two rookies have a lot of bonuses in their deals and the Bruins don't have much room under this year's cap or the bonus cushion for next year.
That being said, Campbell is not guaranteed a spot. And, as has been documented repeatedly, Boston's easiest way to create cap space for guys like Seguin, Colborne and Caron would be to demoted Michael Ryder to Providence (AHL) should the veteran winger not show signs of life after his dismal '09-10 campaign.
M. Chafe wrote: Just how fit and ready is Milan Lucic? His play, in my opinion, will be a huge factor for his linemates, as he can be an extremely physical force with a serious scoring upside. I am particularly worried about that high ankle sprain. Those types of injuries can have lasting effects. Milan will have to have his maximum speed in effect to play with the elite and younger Bruins players, as skating was not exactly his strong point.
MK: Let's face it, Lucic's skating will never be his strongest point. Nonetheless, I think that the high ankle sprain had a two-pronged effect on Lucic. First there was the physical aspect, as he learned how to play when not exactly 100 percent. The second was mental, as he found out how far he could push himself and also play his brand of hockey without worrying about a reoccurrence of injury. Considering the way his season went, you couldn't blame Lucic if he thought any false move would result in another injury.
Lucic's maturity and smarts have always been in ample supply since making the NHL as a teenager, and I think if anyone can apply the lessons of a season like last year and build off them it's the bulky winger. I don't think last year's health issues will be a factor this season. Lucic's only concern will be sticking to his game – physical forechecking and forming a net-front presence – and blending with a pair of linemates that suit his game. He could wind up anywhere from the first line to the third. He could be on the power play or watching it. This fourth year, the first of his second contract, will be a huge window on what Lucic's future holds as far as role and potential.
BK wrote: I think one of the more exciting things to look forward to this year is the play of Krejci. I am hoping that this is the year he makes the jump from an above average centerman to an elite player. However, my question to you is will Krejci ever be the player the Bruins dream of if he continues to play with Ryder and Blake Wheeler? I feel like they hold him back and we saw this when he was centering Miro Satan.
MK: Krejci's brief stint of success with Satan last spring aside, it was pretty obvious that Boston's centers were all going to be held back by their lackluster load of underperforming wingers. That's not to say that Krejci wasn't partially to blame for his dip in offensive totals. Like Lucic, Krejci had to learn about playing through pain and coming back from injury. And there was also a dose of complacency that set in after Krejci's breakout season in '08-09. If Krejci can get back to working hard all the time and playing with determination, he should be able to make his wingers better rather than being held back by his linemates.
Whether Krejci will be back between Ryder and Wheeler this season remains to be seen and will be determined by so many different factors. There are ways that trio could work again. You start with Wheeler picking up his game and adding some semblance of physicality to his play. On the penalty kill, Krejci and Wheeler have always flaunted fantastic chemistry, and there's no reason to believe they couldn't find that 5-on-5 again.
As for Ryder, he needs to get back to basics and play with the fire that left him last season. His ability to get open and get off a shot seems like a perfect fit to play alongside a center of exceptional vision like Krejci. No doubt, you'll see many different permutations of line combinations this fall and the Wheeler-Krejci-Ryder might be given another chance to find its '08-09 form.

Do you have a degree in computer science or mathematics, but feel like you've just scratched the surface of the emerging field of Machine Learning (aka Applied Statistics, or Artificial Intelligence)? We regularly study the math, the theory, and the code. Come learn with us and teach us what you know.
This meetup intends to bring together statisticians and computer scientists for a monthly informal meeting to discuss what we understand so far, what to learn next, and the state-of-the-art to the degree that we can digest it. Anyone with a willingness to learn is welcome, however, an undergraduate degree is recommended due to the relative density of the topic.
With the abundance of online materials from MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon and other universities of renown, we will start with lectures and notes available for free (for example, via videolectures.net) and move on to textbooks if appropriate.
We look forward to meeting you!

flanker5000 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 102 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
I am re-branding my website development company. The old brand was to appeal to the local small business market, however, thanks to growth, I am looking to attract medium-sized industrial/manufacturing and corporate services businesses.
Think of a 35-50 year old General Manager or Sales and Marketing Manager who knows how to use Outlook and Office well, wouldn't know how to remove a computer virus or know what HTML is... that's who we're trying to impress here.
The winning logo from this contest will then be used for a web design contest.
WMDS - Web Marketing and Development Strategy
WMDS consult, plan, design and develop customised website applications to exceed business objectives and are maintained in-house... we need a logo that will establish a brand image of web development and marketing expertise. Our website will be http://www.wmds.com.au
Plenty of feedback will be given to designers to help you understand the look we desire and fine-tune your designs accordingly.
- Modern, clean and crisp design
- Sans-serif style fonts

If you've stumbled across this site, or followed the link this week from "Whispers in the Loggia," welcome!
And now, an explanation:
As of this writing, this is still a test site, a prototype (should we call it the beta version?) for a new "CNS News Hub" that we might launch later this year. The current News Hub is still alive at the Catholic News Service Web site; most of what you'll see here is merely copied from the current site.
Since this is a mere prototype, we weren't going to announce it until we had the completed final design. But like all things on the Internet, it didn't take long for Rocco Palmo to find it (probably because we had just linked to a story on his talk in Madison).
So, if you're reading this before we "go live," forgive the dust that you're bound to get on your sandals as you poke around in our construction zone. We won't tell the vice principal that you're wandering the hallways without a hall pass.

Shaun White settles drunkenness, vandalism charges
NASHVILLE, Tennessee – Two-time Olympic gold medalist snowboarder Shaun White has agreed to seek alcohol treatment to settle public intoxication and vandalism charges.
Susan Niland, the Nashville District Attorney's spokeswoman, said White entered a plea Wednesday will include dismissal of the charges if he undergoes treatment, performs 24 hours of community and pays restitution to a Nashville hotel. Police say he drunkenly destroyed a telephone at the hotel.
White's lawyer didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Police said White was a hotel guest when he pulled a fire alarm at about 2 a.m. on Sept. 16, forcing all guests to evacuate.
According to police, White tried to flee but ended up in the hospital after he hit his head while trying to fight another guest.

be quiet! 140mm Silent & Pure Wings 2 Review
be quiet! 140mm Silent & Pure Wings 2 Case Fans: Introduction
be quiet! is a German company that specializes in cooling solutions and power supplies. The company is very well known in Europe and has started to amass a following in the United States due to the impressive performance of their products. The companies reputation is not all talk either; be quiet! has won "manufacturer of the year" in the German magazine "PC Games Hardware" eight consecutive years in a row in the power supplies category. Additionally, be quiet! has been quite at home within the top three spots in the power supply, CPU cooler, and fans categories for three or more years. be quiet! knows how to build high quality products and it has more than proven it across multiple categories. Finally, another part of the companies focus is quiet (it's in the name whoa?!). be quiet! has literally always been focusing on keeping your system powered and cooled with noise in mind. Whether it is its popular Dark Rock and Shadow Rock CPU coolers or its case cooling solutions, noise is always kept to a minimum. Which brings us to its newest revision of the be quiet! case cooling solutions. The Wings 2. I will be showing you two of three different flavors of the Wings 2; the Silent Wings 2 and the Pure Wings 2.
The Pure and Silent fans are on opposite sides of the be quiet! case fan spectrum. The Pure fans are the most basic of the Wings 2 series, while the Silent are the most complex. The Pure has no accessories and only runs at one speed. While the Silent is optimized to run as quietly as possible while retaining optimal air flow and has different accessories to assist in this. The Silent even has a bearing that is rated to last nearly four times as long as the Pure. So how will these two be quiet! fans compare to each other as well as alternative high-end fans? Let's see if be quiet! is still worthy of its lofty reputation.
be quiet! 140mm Silent & Pure Wings 2 Case Fans: Closer Look
The first thing to notice is that the boxes for the Silent and the Pure are quite similar. They share the same black base color, white text, and orange logo. Both list the fan size below the model and underneath that are the features listed in English and German. Even the rear of the boxes are nearly identical. However, the differences are present, just not immediately easy to see. The front of the Silent box has a logo listing the 1000 RPM that the fan puts out, which is kinda silly considering the Pure has the same RPM. The stripe on the left side of the box is a bit darker on the Silent and points out that the Silent is "high-end" while the Pure is "essential". Finally, the last exterior difference is that the French translation of the features is listed on the side of the Silent and in its place is a little brag about the fact that the Silent Wings are "virtually inaudible cooling for your system".
From the outside, it seems as if the Silent box is simply bigger. However, this is not the case. The very well hidden flap on the Silent box is hiding additional features that are specific to the Silent Wings 2 as well as a clear window that allows you to see the fan and some of its accessories before opening the box. On the flap itself, in five different languages, is the list of design features that were implemented to help to keep the fan as quiet as possible. These features are a 300,000 hr fluid dynamic bearing, an electronic noise reducing motor controller chip, air flow optimized fan blades, rubberized frame and mounts, and a screw-less (and with screw) mounting options(which are visible through the window).
Removing both fans from their respective boxes makes it clear, accessories are the main reason for the size differences. Although, in my opinion, the box for the Silent is still a bit too large (there is a non zero amount of wasted space beside the fan). Out of the box the Pure is, again, very clearly the base line model; including only mounting screws and a small warranty information document. The cable is unwrapped and the frame is slightly above average in looks and feels sturdy like most tops brand case fans. The Silent has tons of accessories. It comes with the warranty document, mounting screws, mounting push pins, full rubber anti-vibration mounts, hard solid mounts, and a three-four pin adapter. However, upon closer inspection, the three-four pin adapter doubles and triples as a low(er) noise adapter by adding on 5v and 7v settings to the 12v that was already present. At this point I feel obligated to mention that there is no extension cable for either fan. The Silent fan feels solid as a rock. The Pure may seem to be pretty sturdy, but the Silent clearly overshadows it at nearly twice the weight(Pure=0.16kg, Silent=0.30kg)
When we look at the Pure and the Silent up close, both have a very centered cylindrical design. Most fans have a mild slope from the frame to the fan; both the Wings simply shifted the edges of the frame in a few millimeters and dive straight through to the other side, no sloping involved. For the Silent, the differences don't stop there. Firstly, the cable is wrapped giving it a very sturdy feel and secondly the screw holes are broken (not literally). They are open on one side for the placement of the alternative mounting options. The sets of four rubber mounts and plastic mounts are slide in. The rubber ones utilize the mounting push pins and the hard plastic ones use the screws.
The mounting holes on the Pure are relatively normal with one convenient exception; the screw holes are not fully wrapped. There are other fans that have this little design aspect, but I have more often seen ones that have solid screw mounts. This can be a problem when using certain CPU mounting clamps and, though rarely, case mounts. Due to the Silent's special mounting methods this could potentially be a problem (in my case it is a problem anyway due to the Noctua CPU cooler I am using). The last few photos are of how the rubber mounts and the plastic mounts look while attached.

Lady Gaga opened the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night with a bang -- and more wigs than an episode of "Real Housewives."
Performing "Applause," the lead single from her upcoming "Artpop" album, the pop superstar took the stage of Brooklyn's Barclays Center in a typically wacky outfit that suggested the Flying Nun crossed with SpongeBob SquarePants.
Then she changed costumes. And changed again. And again, each time donning a different hairstyle, until she finished the song wearing a seashell thong bikini and what appeared to be long blond extensions.
