As some of you may know, I served in the USAF at Little Rock AFB. Being the history buff I am, I researched the base's history and learned the base had once hosted the B-58 Hustler from 1964 to 1970.
There are several static displays on the base, including C-130s, a B-47, B-57B, C-123, RF-101 Voodoo and a C-119.
A couple of days ago, I noticed a large, distinctive tank/pod in a parking lot that got me wondering what it belonged to. Should I dare to hope it was from a B-58? Indeed it was, because yesterday as I was leaving the base, I passed a B-58 fuselage and wings that were heading on base.
Looks like we're going to have a Hustler display soon, I'm very happy. I took pictures and got closer until I was told to stay on the grass, lol.

Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
If he is on straight or regular probation, then the maximum time she can get is the number of years that were probated. For example, if she got 10 years probation with 5 years remaining, she could get up to 5 years. If she was on deferred adjudication probation, then the maximum she can get is the maximum for that offense. For example, if she was on probation for 10 years for a second degree felony, she could get up to 20 years for the probation revocation (because that is the max for a second degree felony.) The judge could decide not to revoke the probation but to extend it (up to a maximum of 5 years for state jail felony cases and 20 years for other felonies) so that she remains on probation during and after she gets out of state jail. Or the judge could decide to terminate the probation unsatisfactorily.

FRESNO, Calif. - With a 17-hit parade and great performances on the mound, the Fresno State baseball team finally earned a victory in the San Diego Tournament, defeating No. 22 San Diego State 9-2 on the tournament's final day.
After managing only four hits in a tough loss to Cal Poly a day ago, the Bulldogs (3-5) went on a hitting binge, collecting 17 hits with standout performers up and down the lineup.
Fresno State starting pitcher Justin Miller, eligible for a win for the first time this year, picked up the victory after baffling Aztec hitters in his six innings of work, allowing just two runs. Miller also struck out five San Diego State batters as he improved his record to 1-0.
Preserving Miller's win were Fresno State relievers Holden Sprague and Kris Tomlinson, who combined for three scoreless innings of work to close out the Aztecs. Sprague pitched two of those innings, allowing only one hit and striking out two. Tomlinson had a three-up, three-down inning with nothing across.
But the story of the game was the Bulldogs' ability to come up clutch with the bats, as eight of their nine runs scored came with two outs. Fresno State stocked up on runs in the third through seventh innings, scoring two, two, one, two and two runs, respectively.
"Today, that was an angry team that San Diego State had to deal with," Fresno State coach Mike Batesole said after the game. "That's what we needed to turn the corner."
Leading the surge of anger for the Bulldogs was third baseman Tommy Mendonca, who belted a mammoth home run as part of a 2-for-4 game that included two RBIs, a run and a walk. The home run was Mendonca's first of the season and the third overall for the Bulldogs this season.
"It was an angry swing," Batesole said of Mendonca's blast. "He came to the park angry today."
Mendonca was just one of a few angry swingers for the Bulldogs at the plate though, as five Bulldog batters had multiple-hit games, including a game-high four hits for second baseman Erik Wetzel. As the leadoff man for the Bulldogs, Wetzel proved to be a worthy catalyst at the top of the lineup, as he scored three runs and drove in a pair as part of his 4-for-6 day.
Fresno State right fielder Danny Muno earned a base hit in three of his four at-bats, while Alan Ahmady and Gavin Hedstrom did their part to fill the stat sheet, collecting two hits apiece. It was the second consecutive day with two hits for Hedstrom.
Nick Hom, Trent Soares and Steve Susdorf all had hits in the game as well, with Susdorf's coming in the form of a double, his team-leading fourth of the season.
Rounding out the attack for the Bulldogs was freshman Jordan Ribera, who entered the game as a pinch-hitter for the Bulldogs and singled for his first hit as a Bulldog.
The Bulldogs will now look to keep their momentum rolling after ending the San Diego Tournament with a 1-3 record. Fresno State will travel to take on Santa Clara this Tuesday before returning home to host Indiana and the Pepsi-Johnny Quik Classic.
"Join the State - Fresno State!" - The Fresno State baseball team will begin an eight game home stand March 8 featuring two games against Indiana before the six-team Pepsi/Johnny Quik Tournament March 10-15.

I'd go with hard shoes for loafing along dirt roads with no traffic, but was wondering about the no shorts on a saddle thing. Anyone try this? I can't really give a quick whirl along the street without shorts!

Hello all,
it's been a long time since I have been drawing maps, but couldn't resist anymore. This will be a setting for my new RP campaign if it turns out good enough. This is in a very early stage and I'm currently creating the mountains and adjusting color palette. The idea will be to have a glacier in the north and more temperate lands in the south. It means that the climate changes more rapidly than in real world, but I have decided to set such small things aside...

Thanks guys for the kind words, you seem to have more faith than I do. I just came from Judo training and feeling too tired to do anything else than just laying back, so here is the current status before bed time. There is a small region on the west side that is already more or less finished called Blackmount Empire. I thought it would be fun to have a small piece from my old work in this one, so I scaled down my last piece http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?10724 and pasted it into to the map. We'll see if I'll keep it or not.

A magnificent drama of vengeance, infidelity, and retribution, "Anna Karenina" portrays the moving story of people whose emotions conflict with the dominant social mores of their time.Sensual, rebellious Anna falls deeply and passionately in love with the handsome Count Vronsky.When she refuses to conduct the discreet affair that her cold, ambitious husband (and Russian high society) would condone, she is doomed.Set against the tragic love of Anna and Vronsky, the plight of the melancholy nobleman Konstantine Levin unfolds.In doubt about the meaning of life, haunted by thoughts of suicide, Levin's struggles echo Tolstoy's own spiritual crisis.But Anna's inner turmoil mirrors the own emotional imprisonment and mental disintegration of a woman who dares to transgress the strictures of a patriarchal world.In "Anna Karenina" Leo Tolstoy brought to perfection the novel of social realism and created a masterpiece that bared the Russian soul.
About the Author

| Info
| Other
| Rounds
Weezing Winks Out (Japanese: VSマタドガス VS. Matadogas) is the 72nd round of the Pokémon Adventures manga.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Blue has his eyes paralyzed shut, and Koga has an Arbok wrapped around him, immobilizing him in his battle against Agatha: Arbok vs. Arbok. Koga's Arbok tries to attack with a Glare attack, which fails. Agatha's Arbok gives Koga's Arbok a hard Body Slam. Then it releases Koga's Arbok and bites its tail off, apparently knocking Arbok out. Enraged, Koga sends out Weezing and Muk and tells them to use Poison Gas and Smog, which are repelled by a new invulnerability pattern of Arbok's. It then attacks Muk and Weezing, knocking them out. Koga throws five ninja stars at Agatha, which miss. Then, to Agatha's surprise, Koga's Arbok grows a new tail. Agatha sneers at Koga for thinking that that will make him win, and then, Golbat returns. However, it is Koga's Golbat, not Agatha's. Blue then appears with his eyes open. The ninja stars Koga threw were Poké Ball ninja stars, and the Pokémon inside were holding paralyze healing medicine! Koga's Golbat then uses Leech Life on Koga. It then spits Koga's blood at Agatha's Arbok's pattern, covering, and destroying the effects of, the pattern. Agatha's Arbok tries a Bind attack, but Blue's Golduck uses Confusion defeating Agatha's Arbok and Agatha. Koga and Blue leave.
Major events
- Koga gives his Pokémon items to hold while in their Poké Balls, which wouldn't appear in the games until the next Generation.
- In the last frame before Agatha changes her Arbok's pattern from "attack" to "invulnerability" it already appears changed.
- Three frames after Agatha's Arbok's pattern is erased, it appears not erased.

An editorial penned by California State Senator and anti-game crusader Leeland Yee says that parents should be able to control what kids watch, but how parents come to that conclusion is the probably a sticky subject for many of our readers.
In the editorial Yee says that California has "been hard at work trying to protect children from the harmful effects of excessively violent video games. In the Legislature, we have attempted to give greater authority to parents in determining which video games are appropriate for their children."
He is of course speaking of the law they passed five years ago that was ultimately struck down by the courts shortly thereafter:
"In 2005, I authored a law to prohibit the sale of extremely violent video games to minors. The video game industry immediately sued the state, preventing the law from being enforced. The law has since been litigated all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, with justices expected to make a ruling in the spring."
Yee goes on top talk about various studies "by the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Psychiatric Association, and the American Psychological Association" that conclude that "adolescents who play violent video games may become increasingly aggressive over time."
Naturally, Yee doesn't mention the data on the other end of the spectrum that comes to contrary conclusions about playing games and agressive behavior.
Finally after quoting SCTOUS justices that were supportive of California's position, Yee says that he is hopeful:
"I am hopeful that a majority of justices will agree that parents – not retailers or game makers – should determine which video games are appropriate for kids. A ruling in favor California's law will not only ensure that parents make such decisions, but will help protect our children in the years to come."
You can read the entiure editorial here.
Commentary: Edirtotials may sway public opinion on a subject, but it is rare that they sway the courts. Besides, the piublic is much more concerned about staggering levels of unemployment and run-away spending in California, than it is about passing a law to do a job that is already being done by retailers and the ESRB ratings system.

The coastal town of St. Marks is breathing a collective sigh of relief.
The memory of Hurricane Dennis and its five foot deep flood waters are as fresh as the marker at the edge of the marina. Folks who work here got up throughout the night to check on the boats and the tides, but this time, no problem.
Brett Shields of Shields Marina said, "Had some wind gusts up to about 30 knots. The water level about 2 - 2:30 it was low tide and we had a normal low tide, so I wasn't that concerned and with the wind continually out of the east I knew we wouldn't get flooded."
Some models estimated a storm surge of five to six feet at St. Marks. That didn't happen. There was no significant flooding at all to report in St. Marks.

The Massachusetts Public Health Council last Wednesday passed new rules for both pharma and medical device companies, making it the state with the most comprehensive marketing and disclosure code.
The rules specifically mandate disclosure of fees, payments, and other compensation to doctors; ban promotional items such as pens and mugs; and restrict meals to those provided at training or educational events. Payments for research and clinical trials, rebates and discounts, prescription drugs provided for patient use, and demonstration units for charity care are exempt. All other payments of $50 or more must be disclosed.
The new rules will take effect on July 1, 2009, and companies must provide compensation reports by July 1, 2010. The information will then be posted to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Web site, and will become public record. Massachusetts is the eighth state (including the District of Columbia) to enact these types of regulations, but the only state to require both pharmaceutical and medical device companies to report and publicly disclose payments.
Reason to Worry?
While the industry has set rules and promised disclosure of its own—like the new PhMRA guidelines and the soon-to-come Pfizer, Lilly, Merck, and GlaxoSmithKline payment reports—the Massachusetts rules go a step further with enforcement and proof of compliance. And that has some Massachusetts biotechnology leaders worried.
"The regulations will create an additional burden and an additional layer of reporting that's unique to Massachusetts," said Bob Coughlin, president and CEO of the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council. "Massachusetts has always been known as the super-cluster for innovation in biotechnology and biopharmaceuticals, and it's unfortunate that these regulations will make us the most unfriendly state in the nation."
At the federal level, the Physician Payments Sunshine Act of 2009, a national law that could potentially require all pharma and biotech companies to report payments of more than $100, is currently pending Congressional approval. How exactly state and national laws will fit into a post-Wyeth v. Levine regulatory world has yet to be determined, but according to Jennifer Colapietro, director in PricewaterhouseCoopers' Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences practice, as it currently stands, federal law will not supersede state law.
"When the new Sunshine bill came out, the wording said it will preempt any similar state disclosure requirements. But it included a provision saying that you still have to comply with any additional requirements of the states," said Colapietro. "In all eight cases [to date], every single state has a stricter or additional requirement beyond what the federal Sunshine bill is looking for."
The Missing Link
With so many rules and regulations to comply with, Bill Buzzeo, vice president and general manager of Cegedim Dendrite's Compliance Solutions, says the key is consolidating data and creating business value out of the information.
"One of the biggest challenges is that these laws just don't deal with the promotional expenses between the sales rep and the healthcare practitioner. This is advertising, marketing, clinical, CME," Buzzeo said. "You have to move from a manual spreadsheet-type process to an automated process. Companies will have to make an investment—whether it's a system they build, a system they purchased, or a service to consolidate all this data and report on it. But there are other added benefits on the business side of being able to do an analysis of what you promotionally spend across the country."
According to Colapietro, the most worrisome unanswered question is how publicly disclosed information will be used. "I think that's the scariest part of all of this, and it's prompting manufacturers to get ahead of it, so they know what data is going to be posted and they'll be able to react appropriately."

Sad to hear the commission was cancelled. That looks good and the shading is pretty well done!
I've been pretty quiet lately Here's why (Half of why, at least. The second half should be coming sometime soon as well)
So I was contacted a couple of weeks ago by the guys running Anime Expo, an annual convention for anime fans held in the US, to make a map of the convention center. We had to cancel half-way through, but I finished one floor at least. It was a really fun commission, even though the map won't be used. Here it is, if anyone wants to see what a watercolor sci-fi convention center map could look like

Sad to hear the commission was cancelled. That looks good and the shading is pretty well done!
I second - Max - about the shading. I think I would have chosen a different color, but nice job anyway.
Thanks guys! I can understand that the color isn't exactly everyone's taste, but… I like purple There was also a thought behind it, that it would go well with the rest of the convention's program book, which was already designed. I'm not too sad that it was cancelled actually, I'll probably get to finish it next year. Apparently they had a lot of trouble with other freelancers delivering too slowly, and they had to be prioritized, so I can accept that
Looks nice! I hope you get to finish it. And thank god there's a restroom every ten feet! Having seen some of those people try and get out of their costumes to use the restroom, the extra rooms are much needed.
Haha, didn't think of that, but it sounds very true
… But… do you peek at cosplayers undressing?
I went to a convention a couple years ago and shared a room with two friends who went all the way crazy with their costumes. Watching one in particular try to get out of his 'armor' to use the hotel room restroom was hilarious.

Should be an interesting race for Button. He has to up his quali, however. Vettel looks to be on form as is Hamilton. As usual, Alonso will move up anywhere he qualifies. Can't wait. Almost forgot Kimi! 2005 against FA and Fisi!

A far worse contraction in the economy, mirrored with poor car manufacturing data and a corrupt executive suggests one to believe we face a huge dilemma. If not, the greatest in modern British history.
An "honour of thieves" surrounding MP expenses and persecution of the opposition, the system of the last 200 years is officially corrupt. Our Constitution was implemented to prevent corruption, exploitation and financial manipulation from the Crown but MP's have decided to reinstate the Ancien Régime.
This dilemma has one solution, according to my internal nihilism – it must be destroyed and replaced. Only we can achieve it, not the ring leaders of the current system. Sadly, the current condition of the British mentality is too busy observing reality TV or Eastenders to understand the complex dilemma we face. May be we deserve this fate, we are in part to blame, after all, the majority paid no attention and allowed the system to accumulate power and influence. People were not blind just ignored and refused to believe what was occurring.
As for the Fourth Estate – the media deserves to be assoicated with this corruption too, many perpetrated in coalition and spread the propaganda for the public. However, the majority simply refused to comment out of pure fear.
So little Britannia faces a decade of financial and politicals problems, a fate we might deserve after all.

Tallahassee, FL 10-2-11
Gabriela Brown only has one wish for her birthday
"It's my sixteenth birthday next week and I wanted to do something different, but really special and meaningful."
That special gift Gabriela says is to honor her cousin Janet. She passed away from a rare form of breast cancer.
"She use to cater all my birthdays so I wanted to do something in tribute to here and all the other people in my life who have been affect and really do something that's going to mean a lot."
That's why she is taking part in "Pink it up."
It's a national campaign that raises awareness and funds to fight breast cancer.
All the gifts were donated to the Sharon Ewing Walker Breast Cancer Center at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital.
Gabriela hopes to raise about $16,000.
All money will benefit the breast cancer center at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital.
It's also how Gabriela hopes to keep her cousin's memory alive.
"She was a really sweet and caring woman. She catered all my birthday parties when I was little and it's just sad that's she's not here to do this, for such a special birthday, but I'll always remember her."

Eric asked a question about legal issues. This post is one of those ask game producer questions.
What legal issues are important to consider/or are typically involved with the indie developer releasing their first game? Are there steps that they must take to protect themselves? What must they do to sell their games legally?
I'm not an attorney, but I believe there are some legal issues you need to consider.
Is your game too similar with another game on the market?
If you are creating a game that's based on existing game on the market then you really need to consider legal aspects. There needs to be enough different elements in your game or you might get into trouble. Our secret game project is based on popular board game, but we've changed the core gameplay mechanics and the theme completely different to avoid legal issues.
Is the name of your game already in use?
This can happen to anyone. It just might be that there's another game with same name than your game. Easiest way to deal with this is to pick a new name. Remember to check the google before deciding the name of your game.
Don't use or 'lend' any copyrighted material
Never use anyone elses graphics or sounds in the game. Don't use free material. If you do – make sure you understand the licence and write it down next to the game file. For example, if you have map.jpg file that is public domain or something, then make a map.licence file and write there the licence info. If you don't do that you will forget what material was copyrighted and what wasn't.
That's why I repeat: never use anyone elses material. Get your own material. Or stick with placeholders if you need to.
Does your company own the copyrights for code?
When you produce your games, make sure all the developers involved understand that the material they put in game are owned by your company. If you are not doing this, and a team member leaves… you'll have a big problem.
Is your company name registered?
I've registered my company name right away before the new game production even begun. I'd suggest you to do the same. That way nobody else can 'steal' your company's name. Same can be done for the game as well.
Team member contracts
Team members need to have contract about what their are making and for what kind of payment. Usually this is bit easier with artist (because their tasks are easier to define – it's quite impossible to define 'bug fixing' for programmers). Here's something you might want to define:
– The exact tasks that needs to be done (or objectives for programmers)
– Will team members be expected to work after the game release?
– Payment (Deferred? Royalties? Hourly based? Task based?)
– What happens if the project is sold to another developer/publisher?
– What happens if the project is canceled?
– Who owns the assets contributed by the team member?
– Will the team member still be eglible for profit sharing even if he leaves?
– Order of paypack (in case of profit sharing or deferred payment)
– Tools (will contributors be expected to use their own tools or will your company purchase the needed tools)
I've managed with smaller list, but these items can be useful to consider.
NDA's could be signed
If you want, you can use non-disclosure agreements. These contracts basically mean that the parties involved are not allowed to tell others about your game. You can get people to sign the papers which is more official, but I have always trusted people and made agreements on 'virtual handshake' – emailwise or someway told them. This has worked every time, and I haven't had problems with this.
If you prefer papers – use them.
Do I have to get everything on paper?
Yes, if you want to be sure. As I've mentioned, I've used 'virtual handshake' and email agreements (which has worked fine) but because different countries have different legislations it's best to get everything on paper if you want to make sure it's legally binding.
Are there other legal issues to consider?
As said, I'm not an attorney – so if you need extra advice: please contact a lawyer.
There's also a legal kit for starters. I don't own one, so I cannot tell how useful it is. But, it's sold here: gamedevkit.com

Visitors Stories Week – Bluetoungue Beer
You might remember a few weeks ago we ran a story about Blue Toungue Beer, well Tess at Blue Tounge's advertising company was kind enough to send us a few interesting facts which we thought our readers might be interested in. – thanks Tess
The West Requests the Best; Bluetongue Supplies
Bluetongue Premium Beer expands into the Western Australian market following consumer demand
27th July 2009: Bluetongue Premium Beer is expanding into Western Australia (WA), a move driven by local beer drinkers' thirst for distinctive premium beers. Bluetongue is seeking to capitalise on beer trends in WA which are being driven by consumers open to trying new beers and who want more premium beer brands to become available.
York Spencer, Bluetongue Marketing Manager, says, "Western Australians have a pretty adventurous appetite for new and interesting beers and are now embracing more premium beer brands in their market. Bluetongue is perfect for occasions that reflect a more sophisticated but laid back lifestyle, like the quintessential Aussie backyard barbie.
"We know that Western Australians are astute drinkers who appreciate a distinctive Aussie beer with real brewing credentials which compliments the Australian palate, food and lifestyle. Bluetongue is the perfect fit for WA's warm, outdoor climate."
Bluetongue Premium Lager is the fastest growing traditional lager brand in the Australian premium beer market, with off premise sales figures outstripping those of their key competitors including James Boag's Lager and the Coopers range. Bluetongue Premium Beer's brand growth is up by a staggering 127.6% Year on Year , according to figures from AC Nielsen, within a market in which some big name brands are in decline.
Spencer says, "Our drinkers are modern and appreciate premium quality but are still unpretentious, it's about what's inside that counts. Bluetongue is being really well received around the country because it is genuinely a great tasting, premium Aussie beer that doesn't take itself too seriously; it's an engaging brand with a sense of humour that translates across all states. No doubt Bluetongue will be warmly received in WA as well."
