KovaaK's compilation HUD
KovaaK posted a topic in UI ScriptingI've had a few people watching my stream ask for this, so I finally got all of my stuff organized so that someone can (hopefully) easily install all of it. So, here is what it looks like. (Screenshot Updated 10/23/15 for CTF, looks same as of 4/3/16) It's a combination of the following: Apheleon's Timer Timeline (modified so Green Armors don't show up for this widget, added a few names of armors per map) KovTimers2 (stock timers, but modified so ONLY Green Armors show up here) AccelMeter, hacked apart from PHGP ReflexRun. When you are holding forward and a strafe, this widget displays a thin transparent green line that represents the optimal angle you should be facing to gain the most speed. ArmorBar_gls from Gliss HealthBar_gls from Gliss WeaponRack_gls from Gliss (modified so when you are low on ammo for RL, IC, or BR those ammos flash. If you are low on other ammos, it only flashes if you currently have those weapons selected) GrenadeTimer by me Mega Health Tracker by me (now incorporated directly into HealthBar_gls) EZQuake style Speedometer by me KovCrosshairs which is a simple hack of the stock Crosshairs.lua to make crosshair 2 a smaller version of crosshair 1. My config uses that smaller crosshair for IC and BR. Crosshair 3 is also a "Donut" that represents the spread of shotgun. Parts taken from DP2Hud by Qualx - specifically the scoreboard, game timer/clock, and duel title screen. Scoreboard has been modified to show your team's score, flag status, and player health/armor/weapon/ammo/powerups/flag. HitscanAccuracy.lua by Qualx. Displays Ion Cannon and Bolt Rifle accuracies (but only functions when you are spectating a duel). HoldToZoom.lua and ShowScoresOverload.lua included for convenience but not bound to anything by default. (bind game space ui_showscoresoverload_zoom 1; +showscores) KovChatLog.lua (simple change of some red text to some other color that is easier for my color blind eyes to see) KovEnemyTeamInfo to display enemy team score, flag status, and player names at the top left corner. If you are spectating, it also shows health/armor/weapon/ammo/powerups/flag. KovFlagTracker.lua which feeds variables for KovEnemyTeamInfo and dp2hudrip.lua (probably not needed anymore, there seem to be native variables that give what this was designed to do) KovFPMtT - Frags Per Minute to Tie. A visual displays of how far ahead/behind you are versus time remaining. Red = you need to rush or risk loss. Blue = play defensive for an easy win. So, without further ado, Download the package Here. I run my game at 1280x720, and everything scales fine to 1920x1080. 4:3 resolutions do not play nicely with the weaponrack (sorry). Installation instructions: Download/Extract the above zip to your SteamApps\common\Reflexfps directory (if you installed the game early on, it will be SteamApps\common\Reflex). Note that Reflex checks for new .lua files only on being run, so you can't be in game when you extract. Move kovHUD.pak to your "base" folder. (and kovhud.cfg should be in the same folder as your Reflex.exe) (Optional) - Make a backup of your game.cfg. Start Reflex. Go into the console and type "loadconfig kovhud" If you have any problems getting something to work, let me know. I started from a fresh install of Reflex to make this package, and it seems like it's working for me.

The major difference is really in the helicopter you will fly in. There is a broad range of helicopter tours available, but not most of the companies you find offer the degree of security and service you will experience with Helicopters Tours.

It follows precisely the same route as the extended visit, together with the difference being it doesn't incorporate the eastern regions of the park.

One of these places will permit you to experience an ideal vacation, be it together with friends or family members. A helicopter tour may be the romantic getaway, a fun family adventure, plus an excellent time to bond with buddies.

Surgery Went Well
I haven't been much of a blogger lately, but I wanted to post a quick note to let everyone know that we are home and Aiden is doing great!
For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, Aiden had surgery at the Arkansas Children's hospital in Little Rock on Wednesday.
A few months ago he had a large cyst develop under his tongue. His ENT drained 22 cc of fluid out of it...that thing was huge! That gave him temporary relief, but in order to keep it from coming back, he had to have the haywire salivary gland removed.
Usually a regular ENT can do a ranula removal, but Aiden's was in a really weird place so his ENT sent us to Childrens. The CT showed that the cyst was "midline" (apparently very unusual) and they thought that both sublingual salivary glands would have to be removed.
The surgery took half as long as expected, and it turned out that they only needed to take one gland! He checked all the others and they look fine. Yippee! Everyone was very surprised and happy.
It was such a struggle to decide to do the surgery. He could have gone years without the cyst coming back. Three ENT's and an oral surgen all agreed that we should do it. But what really made me feel good about it was the calm reassurance I got in answer to my prayers.
Aiden has been such a trooper and I am certainly happy to have it over with! Thank you all for your prayers and offers of help.

Name a player that you think should be moved on from by their specific team. Give a reasoning. The next poster responds to your reasoning and names another player they feel should be moved on from. Please choose players that are 28 and younger, guys that teams and fans may still be clinging to with hope.
Marcus Mariota
I just don't see a meteoric rise coming from this kid anymore. I don't even view him as a special player in any sense of the word. I get that it's early, but I've seen enough. He's not going to be the star they drafted him to be at this point. I wouldn't cut him, but Tennessee should move on from the idea that he's a franchise QB and draft another high-round QB to compete with him, especially with such a high-potential draft coming up. Call it a wasted pick if you want, but Mariota does not warrant trust at this point.

Whole Foods Market knowingly sold its store brand yogurt containing a sugar content that was nearly six times the amount stated on the product's nutritional label, according to two class-action lawsuits filed this month.
The Austin, Texas-based supermarket chain advertised its Whole Foods 365 Everyday Value Plain Greek Yogurt as having only 2 grams of sugar per serving. But a Consumer Reports analysis published in July revealed the food item had an average of 11.4 grams of sugar per serving.
"No yogurt on the market actually has only [two] grams of sugar per serving," court documents read. "The lowest sugar content of any Greek yogurt for sale is 5 grams per serving."
Even though the specialty supermarket was aware of Consumer Reports' findings, it failed to remove the mislabeled yogurt from store shelves and continued to sell the product in 12 locations in New Jersey and 10 others in Pennsylvania, the lawsuits allege.
Both class-action suits -- filed on behalf of Mark Bilder in New Jersey and Carmine Clemente and Samantha Kilgallen in Pennsylvania -- could represent as many as 35,000 plantiffs who purchased the mislabled product in the Garden State between Aug. 6, 2008 and present and in the Keystone State from Aug. 11, 2008 to present, according to estimates provided in the lawsuit.
The attorney is calling for a $100 penalty per plantiff -- totaling a possible $3.5 million.
A Whole Foods spokeswoman declined to comment on the pending litigation citing company policy. However, she said the supermarket is working to determine why its test results differed from those reported by Consumer Reports.
The suit also alleges Whole Foods officials were fully aware the labels underreported the greek yogurt's sugar content since nutrition labels on all of its store brand products -- sold under the motto "Health Starts Here" -- are evaluated for correctness.
"Whole Foods Market's website brags to consumers about how thoroughly [it] checks the accuracy of the labels of its store brands, telling consumers: 'Our Private Label registered dietician reviews each nutrition label for accuracy and completeness before the label is printed," court records show.
The inaccurate label gave Whole Foods, which specializes in natural and organic food, a competitive advantage and justified the higher prices the specialty market charges consumers, the suit alleges.
The yogurt in-question typically retails for $1.29.
"It was [the] defendant's conscious intent to induce consumers to purchase 'Whole Foods 365 Everyday Value Plain Greek Yogurt' by falsely stating that the sugar content per serving was only [two] grams," court documents show

Emmy Rossum was recently spotted leaving dinner at Polo Bar after attending the NYC launch party for Lilly Pulitzer's Target collection. (As you might suspect, the Polo Bar is in fact a Ralph Lauren-owned restaurant.) She's wearing a pink pair of Christian Louboutin Patent So Kate Pumps. This exact hue does not seem to be available online yet, but you can find a bi-color neon pink version of the So Kates.
Our TS editor Katherine has written extensively about wanting a pair of Christian Louboutin So Kates (#thestruggle), purchasing a pair of Christian Louboutin So Kates and wearing a pair of Christian Louboutin So Kates. If you've found yourself in the same boat at any time in the last two years, then you should absolutely read about her journey and commiserate in the comments section.

Multiple-Birth Pregnancy
Under natural conditions, your chance of having a pregnancy with more than one baby is relatively low (approximately a 1.5% chance). However, the number of multiple births has increased dramatically over the past 15 years. There are two specific reasons contributing to this increase. The first one is the use of fertility drugs and in-vitro fertilization. The second is the increase of pregnancies in older moms, who have an increased likelihood of multiple birth pregnancy.
According to the CDC, as reproductive technology has become more refined, the number of triplets, quadruplets and other multiple births dropped for the first time in more than 10 years in 1999. The number of twins, however, continues to increase.
Fraternal Or Identical Twins
There are two types of twins, fraternal and identical. Fraternal twins are more common because each baby develops from a separate egg and sperm. Generally, the ovaries release one egg a month, but sometimes more than one egg is released and fertilized. Fraternal twins will have individual placentas and amniotic sacs. Since each has a different egg and a different sperm, it is like siblings being born at the same time.
Identical twins come from one fertilized egg that splits early in the pregnancy and develops into more than one fetus. Identical twins will share the same genetic material, but depending on how soon after fertilization they split, they can also share the same placenta, membranes, or sac. Very rarely, the embryo can split late and resut in conjoined twins. Because twins share the same genetic material, they have the same hair color, eye color, sex, and blood type.
How Will I Know I Have A Multiple Pregnancy?
Today, most multiple pregnancies are discovered long before delivery. Some signs and symptoms that may make you and your health care provider suspicious include:
- Family history of fraternal twins
- Larger uterus than expected
- Use of fertility drugs
- Extreme nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy (from increased levels of pregnancy hormones)
- More than one heartbeat!
Generally, if multiple pregnancies are suspected, an ultrasound will be done to confirm it.
What Can I Expect?
Having more than one baby puts you at a greater risk for developing problems during the pregnancy, as compared with a single-birth pregnancy (one baby). All multiple pregnancies are considered high risk ("special care") and will be treated as any other high-risk pregnancy.
You can expect to see your health care provider more often than if you were just carrying one baby. More ultrasounds will be done in order to make sure there is enough room for the babies, and that they are growing at the same rate throughout the pregnancy.
You are at a higher risk for maternal and fetal complications, so you will be more closely monitored overall.
Having a multiple pregnancy may make you more uncomfortable, because you will gain more weight than with one baby. Your uterus will become much larger, and this may place more pressure on the other organs earlier than in a single-birth pregnancy.
You may experience symptoms earlier and more intensely. Some of these include:
- Constipation
- Shortness of breath
- Heartburn
- Urinary problems
- Back pain
- Hemorrhoids
- Pelvic pain
As your pregnancy progresses, the physical discomfort may prevent you from continuing to work as long as you had planned. In more extreme cases, it may even require hospitalization for several weeks before you are ready to deliver. However, some women have no more problems than with a normal pregnancy.
What Are The Risks?
Multiple birth pregnancies put more of a strain on your body and your uterus. Two or more babies mean a bigger placenta and higher levels of circulating hormones. These changes can lead to more pregnancy complications.
With a multiple pregnancy, you're at higher risk of any of the following problems:
- High blood pressure
- Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia
- Anemia
- Gestational diabetes
- Hyperemesis gravidarum (excessive vomiting)
- Digestive problems
- Placenta previa
- Preterm labor
- Premature rupture of membranes
- Postpartum hemorrhage (bleeding more than expected after delivery)
Some of the increased risks to the babies include:
- Preterm delivery
- Slowed growth of babies
- Low birth weight or unequal size
- Birth defects or death of one or more babies
If you're expecting three or more babies, you may wish to talk with your doctor about selective reduction. Carrying triplets or more puts you at high risk of miscarriage or extremely preterm delivery, with long-term health problems for all of your babies. Some women choose to abort one or more of the pregnancies to reduce the risk of very early delivery for all three or four. This is a very difficult decision to make, and you should discuss the risks and benefits in detail with your doctor and your partner.
How Can I Take Care Of My Babies And Myself?
For many women expecting multiple babies, they experience the typical discomforts of pregnancy, but the discomforts may be more intensified. As with any pregnancy, eating right, getting enough rest, and going to your scheduled doctor appointments is the best way that you can take care of yourself and your babies.
Following the recommended pregnancy nutritional guidelines will be helpful. Your doctor will give you additional recommendations for vitamins and minerals, and probably an increased caloric intake that you may need when carrying more than one baby.
You will need to get enough rest and sleep. Physical exercise should be discussed with your doctor. The recommendations for exercise will probably change as you get closer to delivery.
Make sure you are also nurturing your emotions during this time. Your partner may be able to help you by giving you a nice massage, or stand by while you take a warm bath to help you out of the tub.
Try to ease any emotional stress you may be feeling, especially as the due date approaches and you prepare for the delivery and care of more than one baby. Speak to a health care professional if you are feeling extreme levels of anxiety
What Can I Expect During Labor And Delivery?
With more than one baby to deliver, the chances of needing a C-section are greater. The decision generally will be based on the positioning of the babies. If the babies are headfirst, there is a greater chance that you may be able to deliver them vaginally. Some doctors feel more comfortable than others in delivering twins vaginally, especially if the first baby is headfirst and the other is breech (feet first). Others will attempt a series of maneuvers to turn the baby to the headfirst position in the uterus so that both can be delivered headfirst. If the first baby is feet first, you will need a c-section.
If the first baby is head down, keep in mind that there's a chance your first baby will deliver vaginally, and you will then need a c-section for the second baby. This is more likely if the second baby is breech (feet first) or if the second baby is larger than the first. Talk to your doctor about your risk of this "total obstetrical experience." Some mothers may prefer to have a c-section and skip labor altogether, while others want to try for a vaginal delivery. There's no single right answer – it depends on what feels most comfortable for you and your partner.
You will want to discuss all these possibilities with your doctor in order to understand the various scenarios that may take place on your delivery day. Recognize that even with all the discussions and planning prior to the actual event, there is still a chance that the plans may change on that special day!

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota U.S. Sen. Al Franken is calling on Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign.
Franken said Wednesday that an inspector general's report on VA medical care is "so troubling" that the department "needs new leadership."
The report found about 1,700 veterans in need of care were "at risk of being lost or forgotten" after being kept off the official waiting list at the troubled Phoenix veterans hospital.
Franken, a Democrat running for re-election, says there "clearly" is a systemic problem that VA leadership has not been addressing.
Another Minnesota Democrat, U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson, also called for Shinseki's resignation Wednesday.
Minnesota U.S. Reps. Rick Nolan, a Democrat, and John Kline, a Republican, also have called for Shinseki's resignation, as have several GOP candidates in Minnesota, including potential challengers to Franken.

After Monday morning's demolition, the Champlain Bridge is history. It's time for a few more hours of romanticized reflection, then a redoubling of efforts to build a new bridge in record time that will make the trip over the lake better in every way.
That, at least, should be the goal.
Just how could the new bridge serve the public better? Here are a few key ways, some of which have been previously suggested by readers, and are being tentatively considered by state officials:

Reality TV
The success of reality TV have started to affect televised Science Fiction in a bad way. This is a trend I am not particualarly fond of since I loath reality tv with a vengeance. Seeing adults degrade each other without any other purpose than to entertain us just feels wrong for me. I know there are a lot of people out there that like and watch reality tv but for me it feels like being a Peeping Tom. I like being entertained by someone telling me a story with a bigger purpose. This is about scripted shows trying to imitate reality tv, don't get me started on the reality tv shows that are popping up with science fiction aspirations.
Reality television is a genre of television programming that presents purportedly unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and usually features ordinary people instead of professional actors. The genre has existed in some form or another since the early years of television (primarily with game shows), but has expanded significantly since Big Brother first aired in 1999. Documentaries and nonfictional programming such as news and sports shows are usually not classified as reality shows.
The genre covers a wide range of programming formats, from game or quiz shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning shows produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (such as Gaki no tsukai), to surveillance- or voyeurism-focused productions such as Big Brother.
Virtuality didn't make it to series on Fox but the pilot aired as a two hour movie last summer and it is a good example of what I mean. The story is set aboard earth's first starship on a ten year journey to explore Epsilon Eridani, a nearby star. The ship has virtual reality modules to help the crew cope with the long mission. The crews experiences are broadcast back on earth as Fox's reality television program Edge of Never: Life on the Phaeton.
Another close encounter with reality tv was the now canceled tv show Defying Gravity. First pitched to the networks as a Grey's Anatomy in space it have much in common with the personal conflicts as portrayed in reality tv, it also has 'confessions' report similar to the confession booths. The show had some good points but the drama got a bit to much reality tv and too little science fiction. The show is follows eight astronauts on a six-year space mission through the Solar System, during which they are monitored from Earth via a real-time communication system. Part of the financing is made by a media company that airs the adventures and confessions of the crew.
Stargate Universe 1st winter season has had many good stories centered on survival that have been good and science fiction. But there have also been a lot of reality tv type drama that threatened to overshadow the genre parts of the story. I love SGU for the record but the reality tv aspect of it is something I have a little trouble with. SGU starts it's winter season tonight and I have great hope for more aliens, space travels, technological marvels than earthbound drama, that would make my day.
One could say that one part of SF and literature in general has always been to throw a group of strangers into a room and see what happens but I feel that there is a difference in style between that and reality tv. The change might be from more intellectual conflicts towards emotional rantings.
Maybe I should combine this with Soap Operas? The shows above plus Caprica and Kings all have a big portion of soapy drama that at one time or another have covered or threatened to cover up the genre parts?

A 19-point fourth quarter by the second-year forward brought the Celtics within three points of the Toronto Raptors, but they got no closer and lost, 99-90, Wednesday night.
BOSTON – At this time last season, he was nearly two months into recovering from a back operation.
Jared Sullinger was able to play just 45 games as a Celtics' rookie forward, undergoing surgery on Feb. 1 and leaving him on the sideline for nearly half a season and the playoffs.
One year later, Sullinger is third on the team with 66 games played and has dealt with only minor ailments while showing improvement in his overall game.
"It's been a blessing,'' said Sullinger. "I'm healthy and I'm able to play all these games. I just want to finish out the season strong.''
Sullinger, who is averaging 13 points and 8.2 rebounds, continues to look like a building block for the future as his game expands.
He nearly led the Celtics back from a 15-point, fourth-quarter deficit against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night, scoring 19 points in those 12 minutes.
Sullinger helped get the Celtics as close as three against the Atlantic Division leaders, but the Raptors held on for a 99-90 victory, ending an 11-game TD Garden losing streak.
A new part of his game that surfaced this season, the 3-point shot, played a key role in the comeback as Sullinger went 3-for-3 in the fourth quarter, 4-for-6 overall.
The outside shot, which Sullinger had been struggling with this month, will eventually make him a much more effective player down the road.
Working on the 3-pointer, however, is not something Sullinger will make his first priority this offseason.
"This summer is huge for me, mostly for conditioning and lifting,'' said Sullinger after getting 26 points and eight rebounds. "Once I get those two things, basketball will take care of itself.
"I just (want to) change my body pretty much. You'll see a different Jared Sullinger (as far as) body composition.''
Sullinger was not able to do much as far as conditioning last offseason as the back healed and he has not been in tip-top shape this season.
"I think it's mostly about conditioning,'' said coach Brad Stevens. "It's mostly about playing longer stretches as efficient as possible.
"For a young guy in his second year, he's had a lot of great moments. The focus will be on advancing the number of times that you have those moments.''
Sullinger took over for the Celtics when Rajon Rondo (15 assists) went to the locker room for nine stitches between his eyes with 6:19 to go in the third quarter. He returned with 8:05 to play wearing a bandage and tried to lend a hand in the comeback.
"It was just the adrenaline going,'' said Rondo, who was hit by an elbow. "I just wanted to play. I knew I could. I didn't feel like I had a concussion. Thy asked me a couple of questions and that was about it.''
Said Sullinger: "I saw that Rondo went down and I saw that we needed some production and I just took it upon myself and tried to get the best shots possible.
"We needed somebody to bring a different type of energy. He had energy all night and was doing all the right things and it was time for somebody else to step it up. When he came back on the floor I just felt we were going to make a run.''
Sullinger threw a scare into the Raptors, finding the range after being 6-for-32 from 3-point distance this month.
"I still think, and maybe this is why I'm not as much an analytics guy as everyone portrays me to be, I still believe in him shooting,'' said Stevens. "I've seen him shoot. I believe in his form. I believe in how much he shoots.
"It doesn't mean that he shouldn't when he's not making them, he shouldn't find other options and alternatives. But 4-for-6 gave us a chance tonight.''

One of the best live rock bands in the world played a nearly hourlong Live on Letterman showcase tonight, and yes, folks, it was awesome.
Between the guitar playing of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Nels Cline[/lastfm], the drumming of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Glenn Kotche[/lastfm], and the songs and voice of bandleader [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Jeff Tweedy[/lastfm], Chicago band [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Wilco[/lastfm] crafted a mesmerizing, mind-blowing set that proved rock and roll is very much alive and well.
Watch Wilco's Live on Letterman performance on demand:
The songs during tonight's set moved from acoustic strummers to soulful, laid-back loungers and full-on guitar-thrashing epics–the latter courtesy of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Nels Cline[/lastfm], easily among the best lead guitarists this side of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Richard Lloyd[/lastfm].
And it's just that variety and range of material–and the fact these six players (the band also includes bassist [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]John Stirratt[/lastfm] and multi-instrumentalists [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Pat Sansone[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Mikael Jorgensen[/lastfm], all of them insanely talented) can switch so effortlessly between sounds, tempos, and melodies–that makes the Wilco experience so full of fire.
The sexy, smoky electronic beats that introduced the set's first song, "Art of Almost"–lead track off Wilco's brand-new album The Whole Love (due in stores Sept. 27)–soon gave way a fiery rush of guitars–the machine was warmed up and starting to steam.
But Tweedy and company can just as easily pull out an easygoing melody that gets everyone smiling (as were Tweedy and his longtime musical partner, bassist John Stirratt) and singing along–as they did on "I Might" (also from The Whole Love) and then "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart," a Wilco signature song from their landmark album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (and the title of a documentary about the band).
The mood got quiet on the beautiful "One Wing," then kicked back into high gear on the band's latest single "Born Alone." "Whole Love" was built on a great, happy-go-lucky melody (something Wilco still can do incredibly well), while "Handshake Drugs" (from A Ghost Is Born) started out minimal but proved to be a raging ball of energy. Whatever the song or the style, this was a band that could truly play (and Tweedy, smiling throughout much of the set, obviously knew he was lucky to be working with this crew).
"Jesus Etc." showed a groovy '60s lounge vibe, all keyboards and lap steel, while "Impossible Germany" was all about the guitars ("This is Wilco's Layla" wrote webcast watcher Bryan Gordon).
On the latter song, Cline's guitar solo really gets up and goes, channeling [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Santana[/lastfm] in a great way and then moving further into new neighborhoods. Or maybe it was outer space. The song takes the whole concept of the guitar solo to a new place and makes it exciting again, destroying all tired preconceptions along the way.
And as if there was nowhere else to go, Cline pulls out an eye-catching, white double-neck guitar for the next song, the buzzing "Dawned On Me." Another new one from The Whole Love, it gets loud, but the melody is always there as an anchor–the beauty of Wilco is they never leave you alone in the wilderness.
"War on War" starts out with an acoustic intro, but like so many great Wilco songs, you can never predict where it's going–in this case some snazzy guitar licks and out-there electronic sounds. This is not a band that 'settles.'
The show came to a close with "Shot in the Arm," a song from Wilco's 1999 album Summerteeth that was immediately catchy–and the crowd, both in-person and online, ate it right up.

When they began their terms four years ago—on the heels of the Great Recession—U.S. governors largely pursued austerity agendas that combined cutting, taxing and borrowing to balance their budgets. While that approach solved the math problem they faced, it left their constituents paying more for what they were getting, and often getting less.
In November 2014, 36 states held gubernatorial elections. In January 2015, 11 new governors will be sworn in while 25 will return for another term in office. Whether welcoming a new leader or continuing with an incumbent, U.S. citizens are looking for governors to move beyond austerity. In fact, citizens are anticipating a prosperity agenda focused on growing jobs and the economy, redesigning services to achieve better results with available resources and paying down the debt that looms as a drag on economic vitality.
It adds up to a tall order for every governor—as well as a unique opportunity to take on some of their states' toughest challenges in health and human services, education, workforce development, pensions and other areas of public service. And while supporting economic growth and being a prudent steward of state resources will always be at the core of the gubernatorial mission, what's changing is how governors can deliver results that meet or exceed the expectations of those they serve.
The shift from austerity to prosperity will require a transformation in public service, with state governments re-examining and re-imagining what they do and how. Based on Accenture research and experience, we believe that transformation will be based on three core principles.
Principle 1: One size fits one. Traditional public services have been so standardized that they force citizens to conform to a one-size-fits-all model. Governors can take action to enable individuals to customize the way they interact with and receive services from government. Doing so isn't just faster and better. Thanks to innovative technologies, it can also be cheaper.
Principle 2: Action is better than reaction. Fixing what's broken is always more costly than preventing a problem in the first place. With a wealth of data—and a host of analytics tools and methods—governors have the ability to anticipate and proactively address issues. That, in turn, will help ensure the public gets what it wants and needs just in time.
Principle 3: Lead like an entrepreneur. For decades, public management has been too focused on assuring compliance and following rules. Originally intended to prevent fraud and corruption, all of that "red tape" is now hindering government's ability to deliver results and to do so quickly. In shifting from a public management to a public entrepreneurship mindset, governors can redesign both services and compliance with a focus on results.
From education and workforce development to health and human services, citizens don't want to pay more for or get less from public services. They want to get more for what they are paying. Delivering those results is the challenge and opportunity that lies before every governor.

Note: Thomas Keller of the French Laundry in Yountville is one of America's greatest chefs in addition to being a Food section columnist. This recipe is an example of how sometimes it is the simplest things that elevate a dish from good to great. Its secret is not in the mix of ingredients or in any fancy creative strokes; it's in the way Keller dries the skin of the fish so that it fries to a bacon-y crispness. It's a little thing, but it means so much to the dish. To dry the skin of the salmon, drag a knife blade gently but firmly over the skin several times, almost as if you are sharpening a razor on a strop. Use enough pressure to bring any water to the surface of the skin, then reverse direction to squeegee the water off the skin. Dry your blade and repeat until no more water rises to the surface. Place the filets skin-side up in a covered container that allows space between the skin and the lid to facilitate more drying until it's time to prepare them.
Active Work and Total Preparation Time: 25 minutes
1 cup fava beans, shelled, cooked until tender and shocked in ice water, skin removed
2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears), cooked until tender and shocked in ice water, plus 6 cups fresh corn kernels
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt
3 tablespoons whipping cream
4 (4-ounce) salmon filets, skin dried by wiping with knife
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, for sauteing
* Saute fava beans, cooked corn, bell pepper and parsley in olive oil over low heat 3 to 4 minutes, season with salt to taste and set aside at room temperature (this succotash can be prepared 2 hours before serving).
* Puree 4 cups fresh corn in blender or food processor (if using blender, you may need to add 1/4 cup water to facilitate blending). Remove to strainer and set over bowl or saucepan. Press solids to extract as much corn juice as possible, then discard solids. You should have 3/4 to 1 cup corn juice. (A vegetable juicer can be used instead.)
* Gently heat corn juice in saucepan until juice begins to thicken (don't boil). Add remaining 2 cups corn and whipping cream and cook gently until corn is tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
* Season both sides of filets with salt. Heat pan over high heat. Add enough vegetable oil to cover bottom to depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch. When oil is hot but not smoking, lay filets skin-side down and reduce heat to medium (if using electric stove top, reduce heat before placing filets in pan). Press fish with spatula to flatten; if salmon curls, repeat. Cook until skin is crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn salmon and cook 10 seconds. Remove from pan and keep warm.
* Reheat succotash. Place spoonful of succotash in center of each plate. Spoon corn sauce around succotash. Place salmon filets skin side up on succotash. 4 servings. Each serving: 493 calories; 222 mg sodium; 65 mg cholesterol; 26 grams fat; 44 grams carbohydrates; 27 grams protein; 1.75 grams fiber.

Snipers in Syria Reportedly Using Pregnant Women as Target Practice; Unborn Babies Found With Bullet to Head
While international inspectors are destroying Syria's reserve of chemical weapons and the equipment used to create it, snipers allegedly working for President Bashar al-Assad are shooting children, pregnant women and their unborn babies in a target-practice game with packets of cigarettes as the prize.
David Nott, a British surgeon who recently returned from Syria after volunteering at a hospital for five weeks, told Britain's Times (of London) newspaper that snipers were targeting different body parts of civilians who were out to buy food and supplies.
"One day it would be shots to the groin. The next, it would only be the left chest. The day after, we would see no chest wounds; they were all neck," Nott said. "From the first patients that came in in the morning, you could almost tell what you would see for the rest of the day. It was a game. We heard the snipers were winning packets of cigarettes for hitting the correct number of targets."
Nott noticed that snipers targeted at least six pregnant women in one day, and they shot in a way that the women survived but their unborn babies died. "The women were all shot through the uterus, so that must have been where they were aiming for. I can't even begin to tell you how awful it was. Usually, civilians are caught in the crossfire. This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. This was deliberate. It was hell beyond hell."
Some locals believe the snipers are mercenaries from China and Azerbaijan, the surgeon said. The name of the hospital and the area where Nott volunteered have not been disclosed.
Nott said the majority of the patients he treated were civilians, and that hospitals in Syria do not even have basic facilities and hygiene equipment.
In Syria, a civil war between President Assad's supporters and rebel forces seeking to overthrow him has taken the lives of more than 100,000 people over the last two years. As a result of the war, more than 2 million people have fled the country.
On Aug. 21, the Syrian regime allegedly used chemical weapons in an attack in a Damascus suburb, killing 1,429 people, including at least 426 children, which led to a U.N. Security Council resolution in September, which includes destruction of Syria's capability to produce chemical weapons by Nov. 1 in the first phase of the U.N. action.
The opposition to Assad is also not monolithic, and comprises groups linked with al Qaeda. Civilians, including Christians, are bearing the brunt of the civil war.

I am to find a formula for the n-th derivative of $$\frac{1+x}{1-x}$$ I came up with $$\frac{(-1)^{n+1} \times 2 \times n!}{(1-x)^{n+1}}$$
This seems right, but I noticed that WolframAlpha somehow manages to eat the sign for any n.
For example, for $n=2$ I have: $\frac{-4}{(1-x)^{3}}$, but WolframAlpha gives $\frac{4}{(1-x)^3}$. I am not particularly good at calculating, but I would like to think that I have mastered the numbers below $10$ so I'm pretty sure I'm right here and WolframAlpha did something very weird.
EDIT: Yep, my derivative is wrong. BUT this still doesn't answer the question why WolframAlpha responds with a positive fraction all the time - I didn't ask it to calculate a derivate, I just entered my formula.
PS: Who removed my WolframAlpha input? That was sort of essential to the question, I was never that interested in the derivative itself, I just wanted to know why WA responded that way.

The German Aerospace Center's (DLR) DG 300-17 measures the speed polar of other gliders. The results of these measurements make it possible to increase the cruise speed of non-powered aircraft.
The single-seat DG 300-17, made of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), may look like an ordinary glider, but it is in fact quite extraordinary. The performance of the DG 300 has been accurately measured and it is used as a reference to assess the performance of other gliders. In cooperation with the Technische Universität (TU) Braunschweig, it has been specially equipped with the instruments needed for this task. It thus acts as a measuring device for other gliders - in a way, it is the calibration standard for determining their speed polars. The speed polar shows the rate of descent of an aircraft versus its horizontal airspeed.
An important condition for an accurate evaluation of other gliders is that the performance differential between both aircrafts should not be significant. In order to find a good compromise to match the broad performance spectrum of all types of gliders, the DG 300-17 has a wingspan of 17 metres, two metres more than the standard version - hence the type designator "17". The DG 300 was designed by Wilhelm Dirks and manufactured on behalf of DG Flugzeugbau GmbH by the Slovenian company Elan. In the past, the relative motion between both gliders was determined from photos in a quite complex manual procedure. However, today, DGPS data (Differential Global Positioning System) are used for accurate positioning.
The following modifications differentiate the DG 300-17 from the standard DG 300 Elan:
Missions - research focus
The DG 300-17 high-performance glider is deployed for the following research experiments:
The DG 300-17 measures the speed polar of other gliders. The results of these measurements make it possible to increase the cruise speed of non-powered aircraft. Determining the speed polar is a complex procedure: all absolute measurements will lead to distorted results as they will always be influenced by the movement of the air mass in which the aircraft flies. This can be solved by using a comparison flight procedure. This technique measures the relative motion of a glider in relation to the calibration glider, rather than its absolute motion in relation to the ground. In this way, distortions caused by large-scale movement of air masses are eliminated: both the calibration glider and the glider that is being measured fly in the same air mass. However, even this procedure requires calm weather conditions and free of turbulence if one wants to obtain sufficient accurate results.
In order to qualify the DG 300-17 as a calibration aircraft, it is not only equipped with the necessary instrumentation system but it is also serviced with special care by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR). Even small scratches on the coating could alter its performance and eventually make the aircraft useless as a calibration standard. For this reason, the DG 300-17 is used in calibration flights only and its performance is checked in continuously repeated control surveys.

Sunscreen Interferes with Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is found naturally in only a few foods, including fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, and tuna canned in oil. Some foods, including milk and many breakfast cereals, are fortified with vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium.
The body can also make its own vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight. Studies suggest that 5 to 30 minutes of sun exposure, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at least twice a week, to the face, arms, legs, or back without sunscreen usually offers enough sunlight to give you sufficient vitamin D stores (Office of Dietary Supplements with the National Institutes of Health).
However, the Skin Cancer Foundation takes issue with that kind of recommendation. The organization cites research indicating that even a small amount of unprotected exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays "contributes to cumulative skin damage, accelerating aging, and increasing our lifetime risk of skin cancer."
For vitamin D, the recommended amount to get each day increases with age:
- 5 micrograms or 200 International Units (IUs) per day up to age 50
- 10 micrograms or 400 IUs per day from 51 to 70 years
- 15 micrograms or 600 IUs per day for people 71 and older.
Why? Well, the older you are, the more trouble your body has synthesizing vitamin D from exposure to sunlight. This makes older adults at risk for vitamin D deficiency. Other at-risk groups include anyone with limited sun exposure; people with dark skin (the melanin in darker skin reduces the ability to produce vitamin D from sunlight); and people who are obese (fat cells hold onto vitamin D, reducing the amount in the body's circulation system).
If you are not getting enough vitamin D through your dietary intake, should you expose your skin to the sun without sunscreen for extra vitamin D? Experts offer conflicting guidance on the topic, depending on which they believe carries more risk: a vitamin D deficiency or the potential to develop skin cancer.
First, try tracking your intake of vitamin D for a few days. The Daily Value for vitamin D on nutrition facts labels is 10 micrograms or 400 IUs — the recommended amount for people 50 or younger. The amount is listed as a percentage. If you are 50 or younger and are eating a food with 25 percent of vitamin D, just add up the percentages until you reach 100 percent. Keep counting to 200 percent if you are between 51 and 70, or to 300 percent if you are 71 or older. Be sure to include the percent of vitamin D in a multivitamin if you take one.
If you find you are not consuming enough vitamin D, ask your doctor about additional supplementation or about the relative risks you might face with additional sun exposure.

For Grace, After A Party
You do not always know what I am feeling.
Last night in the warm spring air while I was
blazing my tirade against someone who doesn't
me, it was love for you that set me
and isn't it odd? for in rooms full of
strangers my most tender feelings
writhe and
bear the fruit of screaming. Put out your hand,
isn't there
an ashtray, suddenly, there? beside
the bed? And someone you love enters the room
and says wouldn't
you like the eggs a little
different today?
And when they arrive they are
just plain scrambled eggs and the warm weather
is holding.
Frank O'Hara

The transaction service writes transactional activity into transaction logs so that transactions can be recovered. You can control transaction logging in these ways:
Set the location of the transaction log files using the Transaction Log Location setting in the Administration Console, or set the tx-log-dir attribute using the asadmin set command.
Turn off transaction logging by setting the disable-distributed-transaction-logging property to true and the automatic-recovery attribute to false. Do this only if performance is more important than transaction recovery.

Wassfey was shot in his neck while covering the funeral of the Khosous Christian victims at Saint Mark Cathedral in Abassiya earlier today. You probably know that there were sectarian violent clashes between Muslims and Christians in Al Khosous town in Qalyubia governorate on Saturday that resulted in 9 fatalities from both sides.
Update : There is another fatality announced in Abassiya clashes according to the ministry of health. The second fatality was not identified !! The injured are over the 80
The MOI on the other hand announced that its injured have reached to 25 !! The MOI also announced that it arrested 11 during the clashes.
The ambulance authority stated that there are about 21 injured in the clashes. OF course unofficially there is a field hospital inside the Cathedral.
I will not go in to much details but today was supposed to be the funeral of the Christian victims "6 Victims". The day started peaceful sad one at the Saint Marks Cathedral , the HQ of the Egyptian Coptic Church papacy itself. According to the activists who attended the funeral there were not too many mourners like in Maspero massacre funeral.
After the funeral procession began to move the people suddenly found the angry people attacking them clashes with rocks and Molotov cocktails from side streets then the security forces entered and hell broke loose for real. The Christians were forced back to the Cathedral and security forces showered the area with tear gases as the same time those so-called unknown attackers who were not stopped by the security forces as we have seen on TV screens for hours.
The newspapers and TV channels showed young men with arms and rocks on the roofs buildings including the cathedral in a nasty street fight.
It is worth to mention that the first Ministry of interior's statement blamed the mourners in the funeral and claimed that they started the fight.
The so-called Islamists on twitter say that the Christians were chanting inside the church chants against Islam , the president and MB as well chants saying Egypt is originally Coptic on TV and that this is what allegedly provoked the Muslim locals of Abassiya.
The thing for sure is that the angry mourners in the church and the funeral chanted against Morsi and the Muslim brotherhood.
I have not seen the chants or the funeral itself as I have been sick all morning. I followed it through twitter.Of course from what I see from photos and eye witnesses the locals are more like thugs with handmade guns. Already I wonder how many of them watched ONTV Live and CTV as well Christian TV channels
Today the security forces threw tear gases inside the cathedral.Today according eye witnesses, according to live broadcast of TV channels the security forces from police did nothing except watching those so-called unknown assailants
There are hundreds of Egyptian Christians inside the Cathedral , many of them are women and children as today is Sunday. From what I understood many families are staying now in the Cathedral's theater for safety reasons singing hymns asking for protection.
It seems that Abassiya will have bad reputation after three major clashes with others starting with Revolutionary protesters then
Ironically in the past Abassiya was a cosmopolitan area full of Egyptians, Arabs and foreigners as well Muslims , Christians and Jews with too sects living peacefully. Again this in the past. There is no doubt after three clashes the locals played a vital role in beating the other if not killing him, we have to wonder about why the locals of Abassiya allow this to happen in their area.
I will not jump in to the wagon of conspiracy theories and start the game blame , I see clearly that police and the ministry of interior are directly responsible for this disaster, for this fire.
Of course I can not ignore how some mainly from the Islamists are playing with fire for days now. Since April 3, 2013 so-called Islamist tweeps like Abdel Rahman Ezz launched a Hashtag about the #Church_Militia.
Now these Islamists like Ezz are accusing the Christians of accusing these tensions to affect the visit of the EU officials today to Cairo. These Islamists are the supporters of Morsi and the members of the Muslim brotherhood.
President Morsi as usual called the Pope from short time ago according to the Presidency where he assured him that he does not accept these attacks and he ordered the fast investigations to arrest those attackers.
Any attack on the cathedral is an attack on me personally !!Morsi told Pope that !! I wonder what the supporters of Morsi will think about that !!
Mr. President Please check your supporters because they are sectarian seriously speaking and will not hesitate in starting a civil sectarian war in Egypt
Here is the storify report with all the updates and photos. I have to apologize because I have been sick all day.
