Nothing against the girl, but Taylor Swift gets on my last nerve. So when I heard that Eminem's 16-year-old daughter Hailie Scott Mathers was talking smack about the singer on Twitter for hooking up with that kid from One Direction, I was like: Awww yeah! 'Bout time somebody with street cred called out Taylor Pretty Pretty Princess Swift for being such a self-important snore. But then I found out what Mathers was actually saying about Swift, and I was like: Ohhh, that ain't cool.
Here's what Mathers tweeted about Swift and the kid from One Direction ("HARRY STYLES, Mom!" says my 11-year-old daughter):
"Dear @taylorswift13, please stop whoring around with every guy you see. We all know you're only doing it so you can make another album."
Damn, why'd you have to go there, Hailie?
"Whoring" around?! I can't really fault the girl for not knowing better, considering she's 16 years old and I'm fairly certain (as Eminem's daughter) she grew up hearing the word "whore" with some regularity, but Mathers needs to learn that girls don't call girls whores. It's like an unspoken pact kind of thing, one all women should be in on it even if they're not (yet). There are too many men out there who are more than willing to whip out that most degrading of insults -- the last thing we need is slut-shaming from our sisters-in-arms. Solidarity, ladies!!
Although it seems Mathers might have learned her lesson already. After an army of angry Taylor & Harry 4EVER fans tweeted an army of angry responses, Mathers issued the followoing Twitter apology:
"Wow. I didnt mean for people to react to my tweet in the way that they have it was just a bit of fun! Sorry @taylorswift13 for my immaturity."
"I believe I'm entitled to my own opinion, but that got out of control. I don't understand why there are 'news' articles written about it!"
Just for the record, Taylor Swift still gets on my last nerve. But I still wouldn't call her a whore.
Do you think it was okay for Hailie Mathers to call Taylor Swift a whore?

Learn how to migrate and modernize stateless applications and run them in a Kubernetes cluster.
Have you ever wondered why dependency injection in most Java frameworks is only for local, in-process services as opposed to distributed services?
I recently came across Paul Maritz's keynote (skip to minute 32) at the 2013 EMC World conference, which made me think about this question in the context of cloud platforms. The keynote is an excellent and well-thought-out statement of how Pivtol is positioning itself in the emerging cloud platform market. One of his most interesting points is that, with the proliferation of mobile and interconnected devices (often referred to as the Internet of Things), we are seeing a new class of applications emerge that intake, process, and distribute large amounts of data.
Maritz highlights his talk with some useful anecdotal evidence: a single transatlantic flight produces nearly 30 TB of data that needs to be recorded, processed, and analyzed by a new breed of applications.
Cloud Fabrics
These types of applications cannot effectively be built on traditional Java EE application server architectures. Instead, they will run on cloud fabrics: dynamic, interconnected infrastructure that is highly adaptable.
The dynamic nature of cloud fabrics place new requirements on existing Java frameworks and containers. For example, VM instances may be created or migrated to meet increased demand. In this setting, machine (and hence service endpoint) addresses may change. This makes static architectures often associated with Java EE application server clusters and message brokers difficult to manage and scale
Cloud fabrics are built on hardware virtualization where physical computer resources are abstracted via software. Virtualization needs to be extended up the stack to Java programming models so that applications can be run more efficiently.
Spring: The Service Virtualization Pioneer
Spring was an early pioneer in this respect. It virtualized many parts of the Java EE app server by replacing container APIs for obtaining local service references (JNDI) with dependency injection. This made it possible to run Spring application code outside a Java EE container, for example, in unit tests.
As cloud fabrics gain adoption, we'll see a need to extend Spring's wiring capabilities to distributed services – wiring–in-the-large. Just as applications should not need container APIs to obtain references to local services, they should not need APIs to call remote services or send messages to endpoints. If remote services are instead wired to application code, the fabric infrastructure can transparently propagate endpoint address changes as VMs are migrated or created in response to varying workload:
An additional benefit of wiring-in-the-large is communication virtualization. Application code no longer relies on transport-specific APIs to send messages or invoke remote services. The cloud fabric is instead responsible for injecting code with proxies that manage communication:
This will allow the cloud fabric to adopt and adjust the most appropriate messaging technology without requiring code-level changes. In addition to greatly simplifying code, communication virtualization also makes it possible to produce more portable cloud applications.
Wiring-in-the-Large in Practice
So what does wiring-in-the-large look like in practice? The good thing is that many of its concepts predate the emergence of modern cloud computing. The OASIS SCA standards give us a simple and familiar way to wire remote services that fit well with cloud fabrics:
<composite name="LoanComposite" ...> <component name="Client"> <implementation.java class="org.fabric3.sample.client.ClientImpl"/> <reference name="service" target="Service"/> </component> <component name="Service"> <implementation.java class="org.fabric3.sample.service.ServiceImpl"/> </component> </composite>
The above services can be connected via JMS, ZeroMQ, AMQP, MQTT or some other communications technology – it's either up to the SCA run-time or deployment configuration to choose one. Application code will look the same:
public class ClientImpl implements Client { @Reference protected Service service; public void doSomething() { Message message = ... service.send(message); } }
The Fabric3 run-time (a conformant SCA implementation) provides transparent dynamic endpoint propagation in the way we discussed above.
What's Next?
Fabric3 support for wiring-in-the-large currently requires applications be deployed to a Fabric3 container. The Fabric3 community is working on removing this restriction so that cloud services can be accessed in an ubiquitous manner – literally from any JVM or Java runtime. Here's an example:
Fabric fabric = Bootstrap.initialize(); fabric.start(); Domain domain = fabric.getDomain(); Service service = domain.getService(Service.class); Message message = ... service.send(message); fabric.stop();
This API can be integrated into frameworks such as Spring and Guice to provide transparent injection of remote services. Basically, application code will no longer need to deal with specific transport APIs, or in the case of Spring, templates.
Returning to Maritz's picture of next-generation applications that consume, process and distribute data at a massive scale, wiring-in-the-large will hopefully play the same modernizing role that local dependency injection did for Java EE in the corporate datacenter. If you want more detail on the art of the possible, check out Fabric3.

Jennifer McDaniel needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 99 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
Creative company offering a wide range of project management wants a cool looking header for our new website.
Partners Project Management Inc.
I want a simple header designed to go along with the picture you can download here: http://senduit.com/71e698.
- The background color for my site in the editor I'm using is 201000 (adark brown). The width of the design will need to be 760 pixels. I'mnot using white on my site, but a cream instead (FFFFE0). The other color I like is 0088A0, a teal/turquois color. I'd like the design to clearly display my company name, Partners Project Management Inc. along with all or a portion of the picture of me.
No color redesign... stick to the colors I listed and complimenting colors to that group.

IUCN is profoundly saddened by the loss of Professor Mohamed Kassas, Professor Emeritus of Botany at the University of Cairo and former President of IUCN, who passed away yesterday in Cairo.
Professor Kassas was IUCN's President from 1978 to 1984. During his involvement with IUCN, the Union asserted its leadership in the wider conservation community and the world became more aware of environmental issues at large, especially after the Stockholm Conference of 1972. His Presidency oversaw the publication of the World Conservation Strategy, developed by IUCN, UNEP and WWF, in collaboration with FAO and UNESCO. The launch of the Strategy in 1980 to decision-makers the world over kick-started the development of national conservation strategies.
An outstanding President of IUCN, Professor Kassas combined considerable scientific knowledge and ability with great human warmth. As a conciliator, and quiet achiever of solutions that endure, he served the international communities of science and conservation with dedication and success, and was a fitting recipient of the highest honour IUCN can confer: the John C. Phillips Memorial Medal for Distinguished Service in International Conservation.
Fondly renowned as "Egypt's prophet of desertification", Professor Kassas' extensive studies on plant ecology in the desert regions of Egypt and Sudan provided new insights into vegetation patterns, successions and the processes and causes of desertification. His understanding of desert ecology led directly to his becoming one of the pioneers who warned the world about the dangers of increasing human pressure and misuse on these vulnerable systems. He played a leading part in the UNESCO Arid Land Research Programme (1950-1960) and the United National Conference on Desertification (1977). The loss of this figurehead of the international environmental movement will be felt far and wide.
Professor Kassas' funeral was held yesterday at Omar Makram mosque. IUCN extends its deepest condolences to all of his family and friends.

First of all, as you can see, I put more color on my Blog, with the gentle tutorial by Mary, from "A Breath of Air". I would share with you all these beautiful images from Earth and I wish you all enjoy them!
"A series of Landsat satellites have imaged the Earth's surface for nearly thirty years, providing data for applications in business, science, education, government, and national security. The Landsat satellite currently in orbit is Landsat 7. The U.S. Geological Survey's Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center in South Dakota is the primary receiving station for Landsat 7 data, and it distributes these data to researchers around the world."
"This exhibition showcases Landsat 7 images, from the collection of Landsat photographs held in the Geography and Map Division, which have been selected for aesthetic rather than scientific value. These images are actual pictures of the Earth, created by printing visible and infrared data in colors visible to the human eye. Band combinations and colors were chosen to optimize their dramatic appearance."
(This exhibit is no longer on display at the Library of Congress.)

"deficit will be substantially higher than we thought"
If you go back to last year's election, move forward to today, and trace Flaherty's "analysis" of the economy, you will find the most consistent of patterns. This government has a tremendous LAG, relative to reality. When economists warned of recession, Flaherty said there would be none. When economists warned of deepening recession, Flaherty only saw a "technical" one. When economists started using the D word, Flaherty then conceded recession. When economists spoke of deficits, Flaherty said Canada would remain in surplus. When economists argued for stimulus measures, Flaherty argued we didn't need additional expenditures. When economists said the budget forecasts were too "optimistic", Flaherty said his projections were sound. Now today, in the latest example, Flaherty comes in three months later and concedes that the deficit will be every bit as large as previously told.
The inability to display the most rudimentary of foresight, to never see anything coming and to continually be the last one to accept conventional wisdom, one has to wonder, is Jim Flaherty still shovelling his walkway, comforted in the knowledge that spring is just around the corner? Is he telling friends that the Leafs have a mathematical chance to make the playoffs? LAG is not leadership, making it up as they go.

Anyone else being fooled by the tiresome old line - Canada is doing better than other countries?
It's like Canada has pneumonia and the rest of the world has double pneumonia (both lungs).
So you're better off if you're only really sick compared to really really sick.

Just more of the same from this guy. He did it when he was with the Ontario government and he is doing it at the federal level.
I wonder is someone more technically savvy that I would make a video comparing the two. Reminding Canadians in general and Ontarians in particular of his history could have an interesting effect.

If you're a weak-willed millionaire car buff, you may want to stop reading.
Santa Monica-based Gooding & Co. this week announced several more multimillion-dollar highlights it's bringing to the annual Scottsdale, Ariz., auction in January. The total haul includes a pair of rare Ferraris, an early racing Porsche and a prototype Maserati.
The classic car auction company is one of several that hosts auctions every January in Scottsdale and Phoenix. Other companies include RM Auctions, Bonhams, and Russo and Steele. The largest is Barrett-Jackson, a company whose televised auction could sell 1,000 cars over its six-day run.
During Gooding's auction, which it will hold Jan. 18 and 19, the company will hope to continue its five-year streak of selling the highest-valued car at the Arizona auctions.
The car it hopes will do that is a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider. The long-wheelbase convertible is one of only 50 built and features a 3.0-liter V-12 making at least 250 horsepower. The car has been certified by Ferrari as a matching-numbers example and has been shown at elite car shows including Pebble Beach.
"It's near perfect, absolutely spectacular," said David Gooding, president and CEO of Gooding & Co. "It's got an incredible color scheme that's quite rare."
The car is estimated to fetch between $5.5 million and $7 million if it sells at auction. Other highlights of Gooding's auction include:
1957 Maserati 150 GT Spider prototype: This one-off prototype had early racing success in 1954 before being retrofitted as a potential new road car for Maserati. The company eventually decided against putting the car into production because it was too expensive. This model weighs only 1,900 pounds and has a 2-liter, four-cylinder engine that makes 190 horsepower. It's estimated to sell for $3 million to $4 million.
1959 Porsche RSK: This small, open-top silver racer is one of only 37 built. It's street legal and features a flat four-cylinder engine making 140-150 horsepower, impressive numbers considering that it weighs only 1,200 pounds without any fluids in it. It's estimated to sell for $2.8 million to $3.2 million.
1958 Ferrari 250 GT Coupe Speciale: This fixed-roof model is a more conservative version of the other 250 GTs from this era. It also has a one-off custom body by designer Pinin Farina, which makes it more exclusive. The car is powered by a 3.0-liter V-12. It's estimated to sell for $1.7 to $2.1 million.

Kohler Faucets
Kohler Faucets strive to produce environmental-friendly products. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed, both by consumers and organizations that push for a cleaner environment. They have been recognized severally for their contribution. In 2008 and 2009, they were recognized as the WaterSense manufacturing partner of the year. They are also have been recognized by Environmental Protection Agency for water conservation. Besides producing green faucets and accessories, they also sponsor programs and events geared towards a conserving the environment. Their toilets are designed to use just a gallon of water every time they are flushed. This feature is enhanced by addition of dual flush settings while maintaining the same level of water pressure.
Moen Faucets
Moen faucets use simple technologies and engineering to achieve their desired effect. Their products are usually curvy, with varying thickness to enhance handling and increase efficiency. They are renowned for producing high quality products.

They also vary their finishing to fit the styles and interior décor of as many homes as possible. This brand is a market leader is providing unique designs and styles that appeal to all types of interior designs.
When you think of sink faucets, you have to consider the location and use of that sink. A faucet design suitable for the kitchen sink will not necessarily be appealing in the bathroom. Moen offers an array of sink faucets that are specifically designed to be used either in the kitchen or the bathroom. This kind of diversity is what every homeowner wants. After all, some homes have a general interior design theme while others are compartmental.
There is no denying that the kitchen sink faucet does a little more than wash dishes, hands, and vegetables. They are used to water plants and fill large pots with water. All these functions require a flexible faucet that will be used in and out of the house. Moen's heavy industry faucet will easily accomplish this for a very long time ahead. Bathroom sinks, on the other hand, can be well-served by a standard wall mount.
Moen also offers single and two-handle faucets; the single handle can work well in the kitchen while the two-handle can be used in the bathroom for easy access of hot and cold water. Moen has highly arched faucets suitable for kitchen sinks while low arch can be used in the bathroom sinks. The kitchen faucets are either spout or spray type. You can even get a filtration accessory on the side. All discount sink faucets can be accessorized with a soap dispenser. The bathroom faucet can be further accompanied by a lotion dispenser.
Faucet Warehouse, an online retailer, avails these sink faucets from Moen at an affordable price and fast shipping services. Visit www.Faucet-warehouse.com to place your order. Depending on where you are located, your discount faucets and accessories will usually be delivered within two to three days.
Delta Faucets
Delta Faucets is the kingpin of the faucets industry. This brand definitely revolutionized this industry, having been founded by the man who invented the single-handled ball valve faucet. They produce high quality products, but price them fairly. They have continued to lead in innovations that better their products, and those of their products. They developed the Touch 2 O faucet which uses sensors to turn on or off water through a touch using your hand or wrist. This technology was a fresh of breath air to the industry. You can now turn on water to clean your hands filled with grease, dirt, or if you are carrying dirty dishes. They also have a collection that features pull out or pull down faucets with some having options for multi flow.

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - A second straight come-from-behind victory looked to be within reach for the Tennessee Tech men's basketball team, but the SIU Edwardsville Cougars held on for a 58-54 Ohio Valley Conference victory Saturday night, sending the Golden Eagles home with a 1-1 split on its most recent road trip.
Following a stellar shooting performance from behind the 3-point line at Eastern Illinois Thursday evening, the Golden Eagles struggled to replicate those numbers, converting just three out of 20 attempts from downtown on the night.
The Cougars struggled from the field all night, shooting just 39 percent from the floor and a paltry 51.5 percent from the charity stripe. Michael Messer and Jerome Jones marked the only two SIUE players to score in double figures for the game, recording 14 and 13 points, respectively. Half of Messer's 14 came off seven converted free throws, including five in the final 15 seconds of the game.
The biggest difference in the game turned out to be an 11-0 run by SIU Edwardsville in the second half. The run spanned from the 16:11 to the 8:45 mark. It opened up a 10-point Cougar lead that the squad never relinquished.
Tennessee Tech senior guard Jud Dillard put together his second consecutive stellar performance, recording his sixth double-double of the season. He led all players with 29 points and 12 rebounds on seven-of-16 shooting from the field. The Atlanta, Ga. native also tied a career-high on the evening, sinking 13 free throws on 16 attempts. He played nearly the entire game, seeing 38 minutes of the action.
Junior forward Matt Marseille performed admirably for the Golden Eagles, scoring 10 points and pulling down six big boards in 22 minutes of play. The Brooklyn, N.Y. native also recorded the Tech block of the evening.
A redshirt freshman guard out of Atlanta, Ga., Lanerryl Johnson stepped up in a huge role for the Golden Eagles in the game, playing a career-high 30 minutes at the point guard position following an injury to junior point guard Jeremiah Samarrippas. Johnson scored six points while dealing with an unrelenting Cougar defense all night.
Tech recorded 38 rebounds on the evening, out-muscling its OVC opponent by six on the glass. Every single Golden Eagle grabbed a rebound against the Cougars, just the second time this season that the team pulled off the feat. The first occurrence was also in Illinois, in Tech's game against the Loyola Chicago Ramblers.
With seven days to go until its next contest, the Golden Eagles will look to rest up and focus on its next OVC opponent. Tech hits the road next Saturday for a meeting against Southeast Missouri. With tip time set for 7 p.m. CST, the Golden Eagles will look to grab a winning conference record on the road heading into its ESPN U match-up against the Racers of Murray State on Jan. 24.


text: Commodity traders come in all shapes and sizes, but commodity trading firms can be and often are juggernauts. In the last year alone, the top 10 global commodity trading firms brought in $1.3 trillion in revenues. According to the Financial Times, a report commissioned by the Global Financial Markets Association, whose members are the world's largest banks, wanted to gather evidence on why commodity trading houses should be regulated like banks. This might have been related to the drop in revenues by the top 10 banks' commodity trading revenues to a "paltry" $1.2 billion. However, it appears the report, written by Craig Pirrong, professor of finance at the University of Houston, didn't find the evidence the banks hoped they would. According to the FT, "it is unlikely that a large loss suffered by a single global commodity firm…poses a systemic threat to the broader financial system," and that "the nature of commodity trading, and the structure and capital structures of commodity trading firms makes them substantially more robust to [a financial crisis] than systematically important financial institutions," like Wall Street banks or big insurance companies, which are the groups largely held responsible for the 2008 financial system melt-down. The report was never published, but here's our take on the identities of the "smart money."

Make it Rain, an iPhone and Android game by Space Inch Games, has racked up more than a million downloads, and is apparently making its publisher $50 thousand a day. It's also the single stupidest game I've ever seen.
A reported on VentureBeat, Make it Rain, a game that consists entirely of swiping your screen to imitate peeling bills off a pile of cash, is bringing in around $50,000.00 per day in advertising revenue and in-game purchases. This staggering number is even more impressive/upsetting when you consider that the game was made for around $1,000 and was intended to be a glorified referral link to their other, more robust game, Disco Bees.
Space Inch is just as baffled as the rest of us at the game's jaw-dropping success. Joshua Segall, the co-founder of developer Space Inch remarked, "We didn't think it would be wildly popular…but it is…and we really didn't even do anything." He added, "We really don't know what happened."
The fact that a "game" based on a crass, pompous action popularized in hip-hop videos and strip clubs is the number one download is disheartening. While mobile platforms are still host to endless examples of poorly-designed shovelware, there is also a concerted effort by some developers to raise the bar by creating well-crafted, innovative gaming experiences that take advantage of the unique strengths of phones and tablets. The success of Make it Rain sends a clear message to those developers that they are wasting their time, and that people would rather emulate the actions of the soon-to-be-formerly-rich than bother with an actual game.

4E: What we think we know
4th Edition is Coming
* D&D 4e has been in development since 2005.
* Specific 4e forums have been created at the Wizards site:
4th edition discussion
D&D Insider article discussion
* Also see www.dndinsider.com
* Yes, there will be a "Player's Handbook", "Dungeon Master's Guide" and "Monster Manual" in 4e.
* There will be at least 7 books of D&D 4 on 2008. (source: this post)
* Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 4e (this post by thormagni) in August 2008.
* "One new campaign setting per year"... vague plan. Dragonlance? Ravenloft? Greyhawk?(this post by thormagni)
Wizards of the Coast will release two 4th Edition preview books in December and January Wizards Presents: Classes and Races and Wizards Presents: Worlds and Monsters. The first live demos of 4th Edition will happen at the D&D Experience gaming convention in Washington D.C. in February 2008. The full scope of 4th Edition books, miniatures, and adventures will be available in the spring and summer of 2008.
General Changes:
* Still a d20 game!
* 30 Levels: Levels 1-10, 11-20: Paragon, 21-30: Epic.
* D&D products released between now and the launch of 4th Edition will fall into three groups. Edition-proof products (which are mostly story) will not include mechanics that are edition-specific. Some products will be "enhanced" to 4th Edition mechanics after release through DnDInsider, and a couple of series will end as 3.5 products.
* The setting for the core books are campaign neutral. Forgotten Realms will be the first campaign setting to be updated (in August 2008). Other campaign settings will be updated at a rate of one per year.
* Seems likely that attacker rolls dice against target number for everything - attacks, spells, etc. as in SW: Saga Edition.
Philosophy of the Change:
Design game elements for their intended use. Secondary uses are nice, but not a goal. Basically, when we build a monster we intend you to use it as a monster. If we build a feat, it's meant as a feat, not a monster special attack. If we also want to make it a playable character race, we'll design a separate racial write up for it. We won't try to shoehorn a monster stat block into becoming a PC stat block. The designs must inform each other, but we're better off building two separate game elements rather than one that tries to multiclass.
As an example, the a theoretical minotaur PC race write up draws on and evokes the feel of the minotaur monster, but it doesn't simply copy over the rules. - Mike Mearls
In Fourth Edition, we've totally revamped the math behind the system, and that's a big part of the way that we've extended the sweet spot across the whole level range. When PCs fight monsters of their level, they'll find that the math of the system is more or less the same at level 30 as it is at level 1. There will always be variation with different PCs and different monsters, but that variation won't be so great that monsters are either too deadly or too weak. - James Wyatt
* Races will grant abilities at levels other than first - most of the abilities will be gained in the first 10 levels, but there will be some gained at higher levels.
* Dwarven Resilience (1st level)
* Elven Evasion (1st level)
* Half-Elven Inspiring Presence (1st level)
* Racial Feats to improve racial abilities
* Racial-specific Powers for class, accomplishing what Subsitution levels did. Example: Dwarf Fighter with "Friend of Earth" power at 10th level
* An 8th level power (or spell) is a power you gain at 8th level. (Thadir's FAQ)
* "We are doing something different with hit points. It's not exactly what you described, but characters will be more likely to survive a single hit at low level. I like to say the changes we've made make it so you won't go down in one hit at low level or high level." (Thadir's FAQ)
* All classes let you do a little of all three. At-will powers are there so you never run out of options. Per-encounter powers are there so you can always take it up a notch. Per-day powers are there so you can really bring down the thunder when you need to.
* There are 8 classes in PH1, but more will come out later in other books and the magazines. Think of it this way: There are many classes, but each will fit into one of the four roles. This way you have plenty of variability, but you can always be sure that the class is filling a basic function it's expected to. (Logan Bonner)
* Four roles: Striker, Defender, Controller, Leader. All classes fit one of those roles, with some hybrids.
* Cleric, Fighter, Rogue and Wizard are definitely in. Other classes are up for debate. Likely: Warlord, Ranger, Paladin, possibly Monk... but possibly not.
* Healing power triggered by striking a creature in melee
* The cleric doesn't give up his attacks just because he can healit's part of his role. (Thadir's FAQ)
* "Martial" power source being non-magical, as will manuevers. Non-anime.
* That being said, at high levels, the fighter does push beyond the limits of human (or elf or dwarf) ability. Also, if someone wanted to make their fighter more magical-feeling, they could muck about with the flavor of the powers to make them less mundane. (Thadir's FAQ)
* The rogue (for example) still has plenty of social focus. The thing is, we don't take away his combat ability because of it. (Thadir's FAQ)
* Fireball doesn't do 1d6 per level any more.
* Multiclass wizards (gish) will be more balanced from the beginning. (Dave Noonan)
* Statblocks will be simplified, and not the same as for PCs.
* A very enjoyable part of this work is designing sample encounters for the monsters. We talked just today about whether that would be better on D&D Insider, but we agreed that it's important to reinforce the message that an interesting encounter consists of multiple, different monsters grouped in interesting ways. - James Wyatt
* [In 3e, we] end up jumping through dozens of hoops set up by the rules of monster design. If I dont use all the monsters skill points, its wrong. If I give it more than the correct number of feats, I have to explain that it has a bonus feat. And dont even think about putting that ogre in full plate without advancing it enough to gain the Armor Proficiency (heavy) feat. Good grief. I want to design a cool monster, not wrestle with the system for hours. Thankfully, 4th edition is doing it completely differently. Monsters are being designed for their intended use: as monsters. Were not shoehorning them into the character system and hoping what comes out works in the game. Of course, they look alike in many ways and use the same game system, but now the results matter, not the rules for minutiae. - Matt Sernett <- read this entry!
Digital Versions of Rulebooks
* Each paper product will include codes to unlock digital versions on the site for a "nominal" activation fee.
Wizards Presents: Classes and Races
* December 2007
* An introduction to the changes of 4e.
Wizards Presents: Worlds and Monsters
* December 2007

* Will include a set of quickstart rules for 4E.
* Quick-start rulebook; adventure booklet; player booklet; 3 poster maps.
* Additional content on D&D Insider.
* The adventure is designed to show off all sorts of 4e stuff. It serves as a quick start guide, but while parts of it are there to teach rules, it's a full-blown D&D adventure. You'll need to roleplay, figure out puzzles, out-think the bad guys, and everything else you need to do in D&D. Oh yeah, and there's tons of monsters to fight. - Mike Mearls
Player's Handbook 4e
* May 2008
* 288 pages, done in a more "magazine" format - i.e. lots of diagrams and pictures.
* Levels 1-30
* Includes Magic Items
* Many complex rules eliminated or simplified (Grapple!)
* New page layout; new character options
* Character advancement is meaningful at each level
* High level play as fun and meaningful as low level.

Interesting times. If it's old school, I'll probably buy it (at least the core). If not, I'll remain a bitter grognard playing C&C and my out-of-print Gygax-era stuff.

The fan stuff kinda-sorta sucks, but it keeps people from reprinting 100% of the released material on their geocities site. And it only sucks for the publishers if WotC is real tight with the license. So far they've been pretty cool with their IP (mind flayers, beholders, etc).
What it does is allow WotC to avoid a Book of Erotic Fantasy 2: The FATAL Edition. And game stores won't get screwed with a d20 glut.

Study: US adults say steroids not a big problem among youth; rank behind alcohol, marijuana
NEW YORK – A study finds that American adults rank steroid use among adolescents as less of a problem than alcohol, bullying, marijuana and sexually transmitted diseases.
The study was co-commissioned by baseball's Hall of Fame and released Thursday.
Those polled ranked cocaine and eating disorders as bigger problems. While 97 percent of the respondents believe steroids cause negative health effects, just 19 percent think steroid use is a big problem among high school students.
Hall President Jeff Idelson says the study shows that steroids and performance-enhancing substances "remain a mystery to the American public."
The survey of 1,002 adults by was conducted by The Gallup Organization and commissioned by the Hall, the Taylor Hooton Foundation and the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society.

Disney Infinity Will Have Future Disney Movie Content Hidden on Disc
Once Disney Infinity ships, a new version of the game will be shipped every single year afterwards. Because of that, each new disc will include a year's worth of content, some of which could be hidden assets for upcoming films.
In an interview with Videogamer, Disney Infinity's executive producer John Vignocchi discussed Disney Interactive's plan for movie tie-ins, including having secret files full of upcoming assets from films hidden away on a game disc.
"That's something that we've made the film-makers aware of," Vignocchi said. "There's absolute potential that people are going to see characters prior to their PR campaigns kicking off if someone does that, but we're hoping that isn't something that is widespread reported because then people are going to start looking for it, and it's going to ruin the magic for the consumer."
Vignocchi also believed that such a problem wouldn't be an issue in the coming years when digital downloads potentially become more prevalent. "In the future, as we move on to new versions of consoles we're going to be able to digitally deliver that content, and the figurines themselves will simply be dongles that allow us to then instantiate a download of that content," Vignocchi continued. "But given the current generation of consoles, the content needs to be on the disc. But in the future we'll be able to push all that digitally so we don't run into that problem."
While savvy hackers finding hidden files in the past has usually just meant discovering extra costumes for fighting games, potentially spoiling upcoming Disney features seems like an awfully big risk to take with Disney Infinity. Until the game comes out though, Disney Interactive won't know how big of a problem hacking could be, and whether or not to address the issue for subsequent releases.

About Bradford
Bradford is located in a metropolitan borough of West Yorkshire known as The City of Bradford. It is located in the north of England 8.6 miles west of Leeds.
Bradford became recognised as a city in 1847, and received its charter as a city in 1897 this was expanded to cover the greater metropolitan area in 1974 Bradford now has a population of almost 300,000
Bradford has relatively easy access to resources such as Coal, Iron ore and Soft water as a result of which Bradford developed a strong manufacturing base and became known as an international centre of wool and general textile manufacture. This fell into decline in the mid 20th century and Bradford has since emerged as amongst other things a tourism destination.
Investment during the Industrial Revolution led to an explosion in population and Bradford grew to a large city with many fine examples of Victorian architecture. Bradford's oldest building is the cathedral this and Bolling Hall represent the few reaming example of medieval architecture in the city.
Many former wool mills survive from the Victorian era along with City Hall, the former Wool Exchange, and a large Victorian cemetery. Little Germany is a Victorian commercial district located to the east of the city centre which takes its name from 19th century German immigrants who ran businesses from the many now listed buildings there. Bradford also has a number of architecturally historic hotels that date back to the establishment of the railway.
Within the Bradford City district there are 37 parks and gardens. Lister Park, with its boating lake and Mughal Water Gardens, was voted Britain's Best Park in 2006.
Education establishments include Bradford Grammar School which was established by Royal Charter in 1662. The University of Bradford has over 10,000 students covering a wide range of subjects.
Bradford has a long sporting tradition the Bradford Bulls are one of the most successful rugby league clubs in the world, winning the World Club Championship three times since 2002 ,they play at the Grattan Stadium, Odsal.
Bradford City football club was founded in 1903 and eight years after the club was elected to the football league they won the FA Cup the club now plays in Football League. Infamously the ground suffered one of the worst all-time sporting disasters after 56 people died on the 11th May 1985.

Pioneering new research is set to upset the standard paradigm of downcycling, and as a result, high-quality new plastics from old plastics will soon be a possibility.
This breakthrough is made possible thanks to a new kind of material: an environmentally friendly material mix called EPMT. Downcycling is the process of transforming waste materials - things we would throw away - into another product of lesser quality, e.g. turning a used plastic bottle into a lower grade product, or rubber residues to floor coverings or safety crash pads. This research team now hopes to upgrade this waste transformation, and has already entered talks with private enterprises to bring their innovation to commercial fruition.
Every year around the world, up to 22 million tonnes of rubber are processed, and a large portion of these goes into the production of vehicle tires. Once the products reach the end of their useful life, they typically land up in the incinerator. In a best-case scenario, the waste rubber is recycled into secondary products. Ground to powder, the rubber residues can be found, for example, in the floor coverings used at sports arenas and playgrounds, and in doormats. But until now, the appropriate techniques for producing high-quality materials from these recyclables did not exist.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT in Oberhausen have now succeeded in optimising the recycling of rubber waste materials. They have developed a material that can be processed into high-quality products, like wheel and splashguard covers, handles, knobs and steerable castors. The new plastic compounds are called elastomer powder modified thermoplastics or EPMT for short. They are made up of rubber residues crushed into elastomer powder that are blended with thermoplastics.
Dr Holger Wack, scientist at UMSICHT, explains the production process: 'In the first step, the rubber residues, that can be meter-long rubber pieces, are granulated to three-millimetre large particles. The particles are cooled with liquid nitrogen and then ground into elastomeric powders. This is then conducted to the melt-mix process with thermoplastics and additives. Here we use, for example, polypropylene as a thermoplastic material.'
Dr Holger Wack worked in collaboration with his colleagues Damian Hintemann and Nina Kloster, on the 'EXIST Research Transfer' project sponsored by the Federal Ministry for Economics and Technology (BMWi). Together they experimented on various recipes for new blends of materials that are already protected by patent and trademark rights.
Their breakthrough has already garnered commercial interest. In the 'Re-use a Shoe' project, sports gear maker Nike has been collecting used sneakers for some time. The soles of these old sneakers are recycled under the label 'Nike Grind' and are reprocessed as filler material for sports arenas and running track surfaces. The EPMT compound generated at the Fraunhofer researchers now enables Nike to place new products on the market. And one of its official promotional partners, 'Tim Green Gifts' created the first EPMT-based promotional articles under the 'Nike Grind' brand, like frisbees, shoehorns and boomerangs. Discussions about using new EPMT compounds in the original portfolio, in the form of zippers, bag bases and sports equipment, have also been initiated. 'We are extremely excited about this collaboration,' says Wack.
The 'EPMT compound is an innovative breakthrough in more ways than one. The crushing of rubber waste is more environmentally friendly and resource-efficient than producing new rubber products - an important aspect in view of the rising costs of energy and raw materials. 'EPMT may contain up to 80 per cent residual rubber; only 20 per cent is made up by the thermoplastics,' says Wack. EPMT can be easily processed in injection mouldings and extrusion machines, and in turn, these products are themselves recyclable. The clue: The physical and mechanical material properties of the substance - like elasticity, breaking strain and hardness - can be individually modified, according to the customer's wishes.
Altogether, three basic recipes have been developed that collectively can be processed on the large technical production machines. The researchers are capable of producing 100 kilograms to 350 kilograms of EPMT per hour. Spurred on by this success, Wack and his colleagues have founded Ruhr Compounds GmbH. In addition to the production and the sale of EPMT materials, this Fraunhofer commercial spin-off offers custom-made service packages: 'We determine which of the customer's materials can be replaced by EPMT, develop customised recipes and also take into account the settings required at our customers' industrial facilities,' says the scientist. A wide array of industries will benefit from the expertise of these professionals: processors of thermoplastic elastomers can obtain EPMT and turn it into products. Industrial companies whose work involves elastomers - such as the industrial and construction sectors, or carmakers and athletics - could recycle these products, make EPMT from them, incorporate them into their existing products and thereby close the materials cycle.
