Alice Cullen (born Mary Alice Brandon) is the adopted daughter of Carlisle and Esme, adoptive sister of Edward, Rosalie, and Emmett, and wife of Jasper. Alice is described as being petite and pixie-like, with a graceful gait and hair that is short, spiky, and black. Her special ability is to see the future, an enhanced version of her ability to have premonitions as a human. However, her ability is limited; she is only able to see the outcome of a decision once it is made. Due to this, decisions made in the spur of the moment can not be foreseen. Alice can see futures involving humans and vampires, but is unable to see those of werewolves or half-breeds, such as Renesmee. Alice theorizes that she can see vampires very clearly because she is one, can see humans somewhat less clearly because she was one, and cannot see werewolves or half-breeds because she never was one. Alice is bubbly and optimistic, and loves and cares for Bella like a sister. She is also close to her brother Edward, and enjoys shopping, make-overs, and throwing parties. Alice's early history is vague, as she remembers nothing about her human life and woke up alone as a vampire. It is eventually revealed that she was born around 1901 in Biloxi, Mississippi, and was committed to an asylum because she had premonitions. Alice was transformed by an old vampire who worked at the asylum to protect her from James, a tracker vampire who was hunting her. After some research, Alice found her grave and discovered that the date on her tombstone matches the date of her admission to the asylum. Through her research she additionally discovered that she had a younger sister named Cynthia, and that Cynthia's daughter, Alice's niece, is still alive in Biloxi.
Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan is a clumsy, accident-prone teenage girl who moves from Phoenix, Arizona, to Forks, Washington, to live with her father, Charlie. Though many boys are attracted to her when she arrives, two people stand out mostly of all. Edward Cullen, Alice's brother, and her best friend Jacob Black. As she comes to love them both, her life is turned upside down, as though Edward and Jacob are enemies, Edward the vampire and Jacob the shape-shifter.
Renesmee "Nessie" Carlie Cullen is the half-vampire, half-human daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, born on September 10, three days before Bella's nineteenth birthday. Her name is derived from the amalgamation of the names of Bella's mother, Renée, and Edward's adoptive mother, Esme. Her middle name, Carlie, is a portmanteau of the names Carlisle, Edward's adoptive father, and Charlie, Bella's father. She has the same facial features and hair color as Edward, but has her grandfather, Charlie Swan's, curly hair, and brown eyes like Bella. Bella and Jacob describe her as being the most beautiful person in the world, even though she is so young. Her heart pumps blood, giving her a blush, and her pale skin glows in the sunlight. Her skin is warm and soft to the touch, but it is as strong as a vampire's. Renesmee can survive on either blood or human food, though she prefers blood, and she does not produce venom. Her special abilities are transmitting thoughts to others by touching their skin and penetrating shields, the opposite abilities of each of her parents. Renesmee rapidly grows both mentally and physically, able to speak only seven days after her birth. Her intelligence stuns everyone - Bella and Edward especially - as she is able to understand what is happening around her when the Volturi arrive. Jacob Black nicknames her "Nessie" because he considers her full name to be a mouthful, though Bella strongly dislikes her child being nicknamed "after the Loch Ness Monster". She is 17 years old and will not age anymore what so ever.

Lea Michele has gained fans
worldwide for her portrayal of the neurotic yet determined Rachel Berry on the
hit series "Glee."
The 25-year-old star talked to Parade.com about the show's upcoming fourth
season and what's in store for one of TV's hottest couples: Finn and
On the fourth season of "Glee.""I'm very excited. We
started filming last week. I've already been in dance rehearsals and in the
studio. We're doing a Britney Spears tribute episode. You're going to see the
kids still in high school, and every episode as of now seems as if it's just
going to be the two story lines: me in New York City and the kids still in high
school. They're going to go pretty evenly back and forth between the two. I love
that Rachel's in New York. She's taking classes in college, and Kate Hudson
plays my teacher. Working with her is like the cherry on top of everything that
I'm excited about!"
Bing: More about Lea Michele | More about 'Glee'
On relating to her small-screen alter ego."We're very
different. I can relate to her determination, but I grew up in New York City --
in Times Square -- and Rachael grew up in Ohio."
On her favorite "Glee" performance."I would probably
have a different answer every single day because I have so many, but I really
loved doing the Celine Dion number in our Nationals episode last season. For the
group numbers, I loved when the girls did 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.'
I loved our 'Thriller' mash-up, but I didn't love filming it because it was in
the middle of the night, but I loved how it came out."
Related: 'Glee' tribute episodes
On what's in store for Finn and Rachel after their big
breakup."I don't know yet! Cory [Monteith] is going to be back next
year, which is amazing, but we broke up at the end of the season, and we don't
really know what's going to happen for them. When the season starts, Rachel
hasn't really heard from Finn. He's away in the Army and she's questioning where
they stand."
On how she likes to spend her downtime."I just moved
into a new house, so I love spending time at home. Everything for me is all
about self-care because I really feel that if I'm at my best, then I'm able to
come to my job and really be feeling the best, so if I'm not working out or
going on a hike, then I'm at home recharging and cooking dinner and hanging out
with my cat."
On inspiring young performers through her role on
"Glee.""I'm honored to be in a position to have young girls or
performers look up to me.

Sustainable housing using straw bale housing, large scale.
The idea is simple, because cereals are abudant and relatively easy to grow. the left over from clearing a plot of hay or cereal is straw, bio-refuse with almost no value. But, a new form of building using these bales has been gaining popularity, mainly because it is both a structural and insulating material, so walls can be erected with a higher degree of ease then traditional building techniques. If we put incentive out for laborers to learn these new, more efficient methods, so they could in turn produce a large scale usage of something that usually only sees uses in isolated examples. things that produce straw grow almost anywhere, making the tranport, acquisition and implimentation much more economical then most other methods. thoughts?

Jan 11 2012: It's extremely easy, when compared to traditional building. Think of laying brick work, the staggering pattern, that's how you lay them, with the option of reinforcing the walls by adding vertical re-bar on whatever pad you use (concrete, dirt etc.). Then, using a frame on the sides of the walls, you cover the entire surface area of the walls with tightly strung chicken wire. After that, you earth-plaster over-top the wire and straw, to make a stucco like finish. For openings, you need to reinforce the section above using angle iron or large studs. From there, you could make regular walls on the inside, or incorporate the straw again into thicker walls or support Beams, though it would likely need to be 3 units wide to allow for the stagger pattern (a fair contributor to the overall lateral strength of the wall.)

The Industrial Development movement in Bikaner can be traced to as early as in 1962. Though industrialization process started somewhat late but in a short span of time, the citys industrial growth is remarkable. In between 1967-70, the first industrial area was outlined and the Bikaner district association was formed. Thereafter, instead of moving to other regions for doing business, people preferred to stay at Bikaner to do business. Soon, favorable business conditions encouraged people to start industries in their home district. Not only residents of Bikaner but also people from neighboring areas started to participate in the eruption of industrial development of the city.
During early eighties, the small scale industries got the attention and the progress was achieved at the end of eighties. During this period, Bikaner saw tremendous growth in the industries like wool, agricultural products and chemicals and ceramics. At present, Bikaners industrial estate has 250 fully developed plots where industries are thriving greatly. In 1980, the Bikaner Industries Association proposed to set up a second industrial estate and for which a 250 acres area of land was allocated.
The most prosperous industries in Bikaner are:
Woolen Industry: Bikaner boasts of being the biggest Woolen Mart not only in India but also in Asia. Bikaner has been a center of wool business for more than 185 years. The wool is taken from Bikaner to Badhohi in Uttar Pradesh for making good quality carpets. Carpet weaving is also a famous industry at Bikaner.
Ceramic Industry: In and around Bikaner, Gypsum is found in good amount. Thus, industries based on gypsum, white clay and fullers-earth are quite abundant in Bikaner. It is said that Maharaja Ganga Singh had sent silica-sand to Belgium as a raw material where quality glass was manufactured and brought to Bikaner. Several glass articles can still be seen in the museum in Bikaner.
Bhujiya and Namkeen Industry: Bikaner is famous for its Papad and Bhujias. There are hundreds of big and small units in Bikaner which are involved in making Papads and Bhujias of different varieties. Thousands of people are employed in these papad and namkeen industries. At present, there are about 425 units in Bikaner producing Bhujias. These units are located in the Bikaner district and nearby areas of Shri Dungargarh, Churu, Nagaur and Sri-Gaganagar. Except a few most of these units are small and cottage type industries.

Two months until #RoadSafetyWeek 2014. We're all humans out there, so #LookOutForEachOther http://t.co/vC04v7rqVf
Enter Brake's 2young2die competition
It only takes seconds to save a life...
Brake's 2young2die competition challenges young people to get creative to help prevent road deaths and injuries, and make a difference to their community and the planet.
Groups or individuals age 11-25 year-olds can enter, with a chance to win a trip to Brake's annual reception at the Houses of Parliament to be presented with an award and a video camera for your school, college or club.
To enter, your group needs to create a powerful campaign ad – either a short film under one minute or web/billboard advert, or both – that gets across any of the life-saving road safety messages from Brake's Pledge. The idea is to spread the word about using roads safely and sustainably, and call on people everywhere to keep themselves and others safe on roads.
Groups will get extra credit for:
- successfully getting their ad out there, in front of as many people as possible in their community and online, and
- fundraising for Brake while raising awareness, to help promote the road safety cause and support Brake's work campaigning for safer streets and supporting road crash victims.
Brake will promote the winning and highly commended ads through the media, online and social networking.
How to enter:
Step one: Register your interest and we'll send you an e-action pack with tips and info to help you create your campaign ad.
Step two: When your advert is ready, submit it alongside the online entry form explaining what you did.
The deadline for entries for 2013-14 is 31 May 2014.
Be inspired by previous winners!
Cheshire Fire Service Cadets won in 2012-13. Teams of cadets researched, scripted and produced three short films on speeding, drink-driving and seatbelts. They were developed as part of a project set up after the tragic death of Congleton Fire Cadet Hayley Bates in a crash in September 2010. The project will now be run annually, with the films used by fire crews in workshops with local schools and colleges throughout the year. The cadets also raised £450 for Brake. You can watch their videos here.
Jordan Bone, of Kings Lynn in Norfolk, was highly commended in 2012-13. At the age of 15 Jordan was left paralysed by a crash involving a young driver. With the help of the charity Fixers, Jordan produced a video to discourage young people from taking risks and exploring the consequences of crashes. She hosted workshops with teenagers, using her story to urge them to be responsible as drivers and passengers.
A group of City College Norwich students (pictured) won in 2011-12. They created a piece of theatre in education about the consequences of driving on drugs, named 'Bad Trip'. It was backed by Norfolk County Council who commissioned it to be performed to 1,200 students at schools and colleges across the county. An extract was featured on local news.
Pupils from St Bede's Catholic School in Durham won in 2010-11. They designed a set of three posters displayed throughout the school and delivered road safety assemblies to year groups 7-11. They met with decision makers, including their local MP, to call for action on a dangerous road by their school. They participated in speed awareness events with Consett Police and delivered a road safety presentation to parents. They also wrote and recorded 'Step Up and Slow Down' podcasts. They raised £500 for Brake through a 'Bright Day'.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Media Depiction of Psychopaths May Undermine Treatment: Study
>Eighth in a Series
Monday, October 2, 2006
By David Hutton
For The StarPhoenix
Psychopaths are depicted in the mainstream media as dangerous, irrational, and even demonic -- a portrayal that may impact the treatment and potential reintegration of some offenders, says
Burnett has selected and analyzed newspaper articles -- ranging from crime stories to gossip columns -- containing the term "psychopath" in the country's national and major municipal newspapers over a one-year period.
His research seeks to find out how the Canadian media represents the psychopath and to investigate how such representations may ultimately be linked to people's attitudes and behaviours towards them.
The project is funded by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) doctoral fellowship and has been presented at several conferences.
"Newspapers offer a very dramatic and emotionally loaded representation of the psychopath that isn't necessarily consistent in all ways with what we actually know of the disorder," Burnett says.
According to researchers, psychopathy is a very specific type of mental disorder in which manipulation, violence, and intimidation are used to control others and satisfy selfish needs. Psychopaths can be intelligent and highly charismatic, but may be unable to feel guilt or remorse about their actions.
Recent American research suggests that 15 to 25 per cent of men and seven to 15 per cent of women in
"Clinicians define this construct very specifically, in a very matter-of-fact way," says Burnett. "But outside of our discipline, within the broader culture, the term takes on all sorts of connotations."
He says media often depict the psychopath "as criminal, highly destructive, and intensely violent, both sexually and non-sexually."
"The term is often associated with explosive, uncontrolled, and highly graphic forms of violence – a depiction somewhat consistent with the scientific literature yet clearly and dramatically embellished within the media," Burnett says.
"Media also tend to depict the psychopath in religious terms as a modern folk devil, a corrupter of innocence, and a lurking evil or demon," says Burnett.
A big issue, he says, is that, "unlike other illnesses and disorders, psychopathy is often portrayed as incurable and untreatable."
"Emphasis on treatment and effective reintegration may be consequently undermined given the culture's expectation of intractability."
Burnett's research is somewhat unique in forensic psychology, a field normally dominated by quantitative research.
The next step is to conduct interviews examining potential connections between these perceptions and attitudes and correctional treatment.
"You have to assume that cultural scripts in some way are related to behaviour, whether directly or indirectly," he says. "They may be accepted or resisted, either in part or in full."
Such scripts may affect correctional treatment, prison programming, behaviour and attitudes of correctional staff and offenders, decisions and actions of policy-makers, and the self-perception of "psychopaths" themselves.
"These portrayals supply certain expectations and constrain the way people behave," says Burnett.
"What happens when a person in a position of authority, perhaps a parole board member, reads a story about a particular psychopath? How will that shape his or her behaviour with respect to so-labelled persons? How does a mental health professional go about treating someone that the culture defines as untreatable? How does that person go about treating 'evil'?"
His research will potentially shed light upon issues related to effective treatment and management of psychopathic offenders.
"I hope that it ultimately produces benefits with respect to effective correctional treatment, enhancing the reintegration potential of such offenders and yielding benefits with respect to public safety."

Below is a message from Jacqui Gunther, Trappe Borough Manager:
"If you received a notice like the one pictured here please be advised that this is a marketing ploy to get residents of Trappe to pay for address curb number painting. This company is fraudulently implying that this is a Borough requirement. THIS IS A MARKETING SCAM! These people are illegally soliciting in Trappe Borough without a permit.
I would caution all residents not to engage these people for any type of service. If any person is soliciting in Trappe you should always ask to see their Solicitor's Permit issued by the Borough of Trappe.
Please note that the Borough is required to issue a solicitor's permit if it is properly applied for. However, the Borough does not promote, condone or approve of any services being sold even if the sellers are in possession of a Solicitor's Permit.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
Posted By pcfadmin On March 25, 2011 @ 3:08 pm In | No Comments
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus transmitted through sexual contact. Almost all cervical cancers are linked to HPV. The virus is also linked to vulvar, vaginal, penile and anal cancer, and cancer of the head and neck. Most sexually active American women will be exposed to the virus by the time they turn 50.
Avoiding HPV is the best way to reduce a woman's risk of cervical cancer. HPV vaccinations and routine Pap tests make cervical cancer one of the most preventable cancers. Practicing safe sex can also reduce a woman's likelihood of getting cervical cancer, but HPV can infect areas that are not covered by a condom.
Speak with your health care professional about the HPV vaccine. HPV vaccinations are given as a series of three shots over six months. They come in two forms: Cervarix and Gardasil. Both forms are approved for HPV prevention in women, but only Gardasil, which protects against genital warts and cancers of the anus, vagina, and vulva, along with cervical cancer, is approved for men.
HPV vaccines are primarily for girls and boys aged 11 or 12, but they are also recommended for women through age 26 and men through age 21 who were unable to get vaccines at an earlier age. It is important to note that women who get vaccines still need to have regular Pap tests.
Show your children how important it is to be screened for cancer by getting your own regular screenings. Visit our page on cervical cancer for more information. [1]

Sinead O'Connor wants kids to be themselves
Sinead O'Connor encourages her children to stay ''true'' to themselves as she believes it is the biggest ''success'' a person can achieve in their life.
Sinead O'Connor encourages her children to stay ''true'' to themselves.
The 'Nothing Compares 2 U' singer - who has children Jake, 24, Roisin, 16, Shane, eight, and Yeshua, six, from previous relationships - makes sure her offspring know how important it is to follow their dreams and not change to please anyone else because they are the most important things in life.
Speaking on British TV show 'Lorraine' show, Sinead said: ''I always say to my kids the only purpose God put you on earth for is to be you 100 percent. To be who you are, that's success.
''Sometimes that means you may not have fame or a good name or money or stuff but that's not necessarily success, do you know what I mean? It's really can you be yourself and be true to your contract.''
Sinead, 42, cancelled a tour last year due to her bipolar disorder - urging fans at the time to recommend a psychiatrist in her hometown of Dublin, Ireland, to save her from ''serious danger'' - but is now back on track with her new album 'How About I Be Me (And You Be You)?'.
She added: ''I think I'm having a great time making music, I'm really enjoying that the live shows are going so well.
''Everyone's responded so well to the album and everything so I'm really glad the kind of focus is back on being a musician. So long as I just keep my mouth shut and behave myself ...''
Sinead follows her own advice, as the tattooed musician credits her success to being herself and consulting the ''Holy Spirit'' when making decisions.
The singer - who was once ordained as a priest by an Independent Catholic group - explained: ''To me success is really can you be yourself. You're working in an area which can be very vampirical and spiritually slightly dodgy and can you get from one side of the board to the other is the way I see it.
''And still maintain the contract you made with the Holy Spirit before you got here and which you renew constantly along the line, which is basically just be yourself which is all I figure.''

Fashion technology is not all about "fashion." There are also serious use cases that may not be glamorous but serve the greater good. The just-announced GPS shoes for Alzheier's patients is one example. As you know, people suffering from Alzheier's may wander away from home and forget how to get back due to dementia. GPS shoes can help patients' families and caregivers to locate them in such a scenario.Continue Reading »

Haha, LARP videos always give me a good laugh. I've see that video many times. For some reason, it's not the guy yelling "LIGHTNING BOLT!" "LIGHTING BOLT!" that get's me, it's the girl clapping right before the vid ends, rofl.
Also, if the 2nd video is reenacting, not LARPING, what do they do for like...the Napoleonic Wars? Actually shoot each other? Is that the real reason why life expectancy is lower in Russia?

Arden: Final Results
The results of the Arden project are available in a working paper here. The working paper has also been submitted to a journal for peer review.
Summary: In a fantasy game setting, we made two equivalent worlds and set the price of potions to be higher in one than in the other. We found that people bought fewer potions when they were more expensive.
Discussion: The result suggests that people in fantasy games act in an economically normal way. Perhaps these game worlds can be used to study real economic behavior.
The results are based on an environment that was significantly more fun to play than the first one we made and represents the completion of the Arden project. My thanks go to the MacArthur Foundation for their early trust, their support through hard times, and of course the funding that made the study possible. I'd also like to thank the Bioware corporation for allowing us free use of Neverwinter Nights.
You can download the game environments we used for the study here.
As some of you might recall, two months ago I announced that the results were done, but I did not say what they were. I held back because I felt an obligation to the funder of the study, the MacArthur Foundation, to give them time to respond and comment before publicizing the results more widely. I am sorry to have given the impression of a 'tease' strategy. I won't do it this way again.

Good deal. An unambitious but clear start. this provides a way forward for a lot more work in the field without having to rely on explicit comparisons to time spent (where normal behavior may or may not apply) or reliance on repugnant transactions (RMT, twinking, etc). Very helpful and very clear. Thank you.

As a player, I needed no convincing :)
Just how much data were you able to extract from this experiment (besides changes in quantity of potions sold)? For instance, did you observe substitution into related goods (i.e. better armor to decrease the need for potions, or better weapons to reduce time spent in danger, or other products which lead to healing)?
What about macro effects that might have resulted from adaptations / innovations - that is, technological change. Is there enough data to create a time series of elasticities of demand for potions, suggesting learning on the part of players as they innovate compensating strategies? Or was the elasticity constant, statistically speaking, over the course of the experiment?
Were advancement rates different?
Just a few of any number of questions I can think of. Thanks for writing this.
Posted Jul 29, 2008 3:24:38 PM | link
It seems like one might need to run a kind of "burn-in", to test whether players in one world randomly happened to just be crappier than players in the other world, and therefore needed more potions. In a randomised experiment this shouldn't happen, but it can happen and if so one would need to adjust for skill level, as measured during the "burn-in".
Was it known that the potions were an essential part of the adventuring experience? In some games potions are a luxury or only a minor add-on, while in others one lives and dies by them. Presumably the elasticity of the good depends on its (presumably unmeasured) degree of importance? Like petrol vs. bottled water (not that one drinks either of these substances...)

There are existing virtual worlds out there that are (in terms of their code) identical in all respects: any virtual world with multiple shards is like this. If you were to select two shards (or servers, if you prefer that term) for the same game world that opened at the same time to the same basic audience, you should find that supply and demand of items is equivalent. They won't be identical, though, because of noise in the data (random numbers are random, after all).
Something it shouldn't be too hard to do is to check the auction house prices for popular, staple items over the course of a few weeks to find out average prices. This will give an idea of how much difference there is between systems that are (in the terms of the Arden experiment) identical. This difference can then be compared with the actual difference discovered between the two NWN servers, to see if that difference is significant or whether it could be dismissed as an artefact of the general randomness of the system.
Posted Jul 30, 2008 2:47:37 AM | link
It seems to me that a similar goal can be met by altering the price of a different staple item in Arden, and then simply running the experiment again for several different items.
The difference between WoW servers (say), could potentially be huge - even if you're dealing with shards in the same battle group and type (i.e. pve, pvp, etc.) with the same population level on the same faction with the same sysadmins. The problem isn't the 'known knowns' when comparing the economies of servers of a game over which we do not have control - it's the 'unknown unknowns', which could create systematic patterns unbeknownst to the researcher. Arden eliminates that problem.
My sense is that the only big similarity you would find between (WoW) servers is the changes in the general price level over an extended period of time.
I think that if individual purchase data were available, one could reasonably mitigate the need for a 'burn in' period. Random assignment to servers, especially over a number of iterations of the experiment, would ensure that average skill level was constant across shards. The significance (or not!) of the difference in quantity demanded between the two servers would generally account for skill imbalances (again, over a series of iterations of the experiment).
In the absence of individual data, however, you point is quite valid.
Posted Jul 30, 2008 9:46:09 AM | link
A nice thing about the experiment conducted here is that it avoids the selection bias generated by shards with known differences in characteristics. That's a difficult bias to decompose for the purposes of analysis, so it is nice to see it avoided "outside of the lab".
But you are right that some changes may take advantages of natural experiments over time or across shards. I'm KICKING myself for not recording the prices of baskets of goods on the auction house in WoW before and after the introduction of daily quests (and the 2.3 introduction of more daily quests). That would have been a pretty simple baseline macro experiment for money supply in WoW. After the fact, that data is lost, but it would have made for a neat paper.
Posted Jul 30, 2008 12:03:24 PM | link
The reaction to this finding seems to be a lot like when I found that female avatars cost less on the open market. Some people think it's a really big deal, other people think it's ho-hum. If you play these games, you know that higher prices reduce sales, just like in reality. But people who don't play these games are skeptical. Even if you show them two identical servers where prices and sales vary, they are not convinced because there's no random assignment, and there's a host of other possible causal factors.
So here, we randomly assigned people and did only one thing, raised a potion price. People bought fewer potions. All that says is that being an elf doesn't make you turn off the rational economic calculator part of your brain. Not news to some people, big news to others.
Posted Jul 30, 2008 12:07:44 PM | link
@ Adam
I've basically done what you suggest (click my name and find one of my entries on WoW research), except it was during the highly publicized account deletions during mid to late 2006. So instead of seeing price increases (which is what I think we're probably seeing now with daily quests), at the time we saw big price decreases. Interestingly, the change in price level was pretty consisten across shards and factions.
Exogenous monetary policy shocks ftw.
Posted Jul 30, 2008 2:58:28 PM | link
One question I think is, was the number of players involved (the sample) sufficient given thecomplexity of virtual world behaviors? Is there a level at which results are just potentially noise?
It's not economic in nature, but Valve Software has done some quite amazing stats generation for their games. Check out http://www.steampowered.com/status/ep2/ep2_stats.php for the single player HL2 Episode 2 stats, or http://www.dayofdefeat.com/stats/ for the multiplayer Day of Defeat game stats. These aren't of course persistent virtual worlds, but none the less a fascinating dataset about player behavior.
Posted Jul 30, 2008 3:01:37 PM | link
Isaac, thanks for the reply, I see your point (didn't realise players were randomised on entry). There is still a risk that the randomisation won't work though, and you'll get a randomly distributed confounder you need to check.
Edward Castronova, I don't know if everyone who plays necessarily pays attention to the price of potions. Whether they do or not depends on whether a) potions are essential b) there is a wide range of other magic items available c) they're a fighter (potions are much more important to fighters than mages) and d) how fast they're accruing experience relative to gold. I understand that a),b) and d) are specific to the worlds and so presumably irrelevant in this experiment but c), for example isn't and d) does depend on how individuals play and the game balance. If your world is poorly designed to reward fighters, for example, and more people in one world choose thieves, then you may get a biassed result.
Essentially this means that to study this problem properly I think you either need a very well designed world or a randomised block experiment where players are randomised to both worlds within blocks of character types. I don't aim to impugn your world and I don't know if you ran a full randomised block model, but the judgement that potions are cost dependent is not necessarily as intuitively obvious as you make out. I often play mages, for example, and for mages potions are sometimes not even relevant - and for thieves potions of master thievery are so useful as to be very valuable, but so rare as to make their price almost irrelevant.

Ted>The reaction to this finding seems to be a lot like when I found that female avatars cost less on the open market.
The issue there was the interpretation of the data, not the data itself. The sensationalist reading got the headlines (and the paper is still regularly cited as if it proved that female players are regarded as inferior by male players). It wasn't even a full test of the open market, as you didn't include buy-out values.
I see what you're saying about the reaction to this NWN paper, though: its assertions may seem obvious, but they nevertheless had to be tested. "It's obvious" isn't part of the Scientific Method. If people are ever going to use virtual worlds for trials of economic or other social science theories, then the foundations have to be established as sound. That's what this paper does.
That, in my view, is what makes it important rather than ho hum.
Posted Jul 31, 2008 8:16:21 AM | link
As a microeconomic test bed, I think game economies would excel in that role and therein lays the importance of Castronova's paper.
One thing that continues to bug me, however, is whether MMOs are worth pursuing as models of a macroeconomy. While I think its fair to say that virtual economies display price fluctuations due both to internal and "foreign exchange" dynamics, I'm less convinced that they provide utile analogies to business cycles and economic growth. UO's initial attempt at a self-regulating economy met a quick and merciless fate and was replaced by the faucet-drain system - a planned economy. If the institutions of a planned economy, in whatever form, are substantively different than those of a market economy, then the usefulness of a game economy to study changes in relative prices would be very limited. What innovation occurs will be highly restricted and/or mostly resistant to accurate measurement, and that makes even the testing of nominal shocks on real prices in a virtual economy a nearly impossible task. In that light, it seems that the value of the game macroeconomy stops and starts at its ability to exemplify the role of nominal shocks on nominal prices, which merely demonstrates what most economists already know: inflation/deflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.
So I don't know if this thread is dead yet, but if not does anyone have a comment on these matters?
Posted Jul 31, 2008 10:31:26 AM | link
Isaac, I think that more complex economic models could exist in these worlds. For example, a Guild in world of warcraft could set itself up as a manufacturer of potions, selling them in the world and devoting itself to making money. A friend of mine tells me he may have seen something like this on his server, but he doesn't know. I think there is also a business model for gold farmers in such a system, and I have written a post about the model on my blog. These worlds have resources and manufacturing and money, so it could happen.
The problem is that, outside of the gold farming model, there is very little reason for anyone to do this. One doesn't enter these games to make money, but to make experience and kill monsters. It would be a wierd group of people indeed who chose to set up a guild which bought raw materials and sold finished goods - so it will probably never happen as an exclusively virtual economic force.
Unless an adventuring guild sets up some kind of manufacturing arm to support its raids. I watched video footage of a 40-player raid recently, which took 3 months to get from first stage to second; this must have involved a lot of training and would have really chewed through items. So I can imagine that a guild might be inclined to set up a sideline in manufacturing to support its training. But I can't see it becoming organised, because who wants to log into a fantasy world to work full-time on a production line?
Posted Jul 31, 2008 5:41:05 PM | link
The state of research is so early that almost any social scientific law is worth checking - does it work in the virtual space? The next project we're doing at SWI is precisely a test of whether some fundamental macroeconomic forces function normally in a multiplayer online game.
That will take a couple of years to do, though. We're applying production and management lessons from Arden...so don't hold your breath.
Posted Jul 31, 2008 7:05:57 PM | link
I wonder how long it will be before researchers start asking for access to data from the companies, or cooperation on experiments. I would like to see survival data, for example. How entertaining! Or to see Blizzard do some experiments where they created a drought of a product, or manipulated its price.
Have you guys considered doing these things? Obviously Bioware cooperated with you, but cooperation in an extant virtual world would be a very powerful thing.

New School Lunch Standards Unveiled Today!

|Wed, 01-25-2012 - 2:15pm
|Sun, 01-29-2012 - 6:00pm
we got new standards in MA about a year ago, they also dictate to some extent what I can pack for my kid which ticks me off a bit so I still include cookies. Look at my kid HELLO you can see his ribs!!! although he is considered obese on the average weight scale...go figure cracks the Dr up. And the also tes body fat in school...again funny when Liam comes home with at risk for obesity. DH wanted to send that along with a picture of him in a bathing suite to the news as the new face of childhood obesity. Yes I am all for healthier lunch but if they are not getting healthy eating habbits at home its going to make a difference in the obesity issue.
Both my kids still drink whole milk. While on the scale he seems big its muscle My youngest is under 50% on weight so dr still has both on whole milk. We keep sweets in the house (well now under lock and key from me) DH and I were skinny growing up, not now but its not all from eating. Lifestyle too, so we try to teach balance. Its ok to have treats but to stay active. That to me is just as important if not more.

HDO (High Density Overlay) Plyform - Concrete Form Panels
This Plyform panel meets the same general specifications as Plyform Structural I, Class I or Class II. All classes of HDO Plyform have a hard, semi-opaque surface of thermosetting phenolic resin-impregnated material that forms a durable, continuous bond with the plywood. During plywood production, these overlays are bonded to the plywood under high heat and pressure in a press. The function of the overlay is to add stability, repel foreign substances from the surface and provide a smoother and more durable forming surface. The thermosetting phenolic resins used in overlay production are hard and resist moisture, chemicals and abrasion. HDO is most often specified where the smoothest possible concrete finish and maximum number of reuses is desired.
The abrasion-resistant surface should be treated with a release agent prior to its first use and between each pour to preserve the surface and facilitate easy stripping. HDO Plyform is most often specified when the smoothest possible concrete finishes are desired, because the panel has a hard, smooth surface. It can impart a nearly polished concrete surface. Both sides of HDO are moisture resistant but cannot always be used to form concrete with equal effectiveness unless specifically made for that purpose. Scratches and dents in the backs caused by fastening the panels to the supports may make the use of both sides impractical. Various grades of HDO Plyform may be available; check with your supplier. With reasonable care, HDO Plyform will normally produce 20 to 50 reuses or more. Some concrete-forming specialists achieve 200 or more reuses with good results.

What is SR-22 Insurance?
If you've been notified by the state that you need SR-22 insurance, you may be wondering what exactly that insurance is, and why you need it:
What is SR-22 insurance?
SR-22 filing is an electronic certification that confirms a driver has insurance that meets the state's minimum requirement. It is not actually a specific kind of insurance, but a document that is submitted to the state through the auto insurance company proving a driver's insurance policy purchase. All states have SR-22 insurance requirements except Delaware, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania.
If you haven't been directly notified that you need SR-22 insurance, you don't need to purchase it. It is usually a requirement by the state Department of Motor Vehicles or Public Safety for drivers who have been involved in accidents with no insurance, or if you've had excessive driving violations. The state will notify you that you are required to have SR-22 insurance. You may also need SR-22 insurance if you are considered to be a high risk driver.
How long do I need to keep my SR-22 insurance?
There is no concrete answer for this, since it typically depends on the severity of the offense and the individual state requirement. Typically, drivers will have to carry proof of their current SR-22 for three years. If you cancel your policy before the termination date or let your policy expire, your insurance company is required to notify the state that you no longer have insurance. If this happens, your license will be suspended again, and you'll have to resubmit another SR-22 form to regain your driving privileges.
If you move from the state that required your SR-22 filing to a state that doesn't require the filing, you will still want to keep your proof of current SR-22 insurance with you on the road until the end of the required term in your home state. Moving does not exempt drivers from the SR-22 requirement.
Once you have obtained the proper documentation through your state, you can get back out on the road. The Insurance Place can help you find the right insurance for your budget and your state requirements. Contact the Insurance Place today to find out more information!Posted by Insurance Place | 0 comments

The Congress Hall is very flexible and can easily be divided into two or three separate areas – Hall A and Hall B + C or Hall A, Hall B and Hall C. Partition walls are made of oak and, naturally, sound-proofed.
The Oslo Congress Centre's "great room" is very well equipped in technological terms. In addition to the standard technical equipment (projectors, screen and microphones), the hall also features a top-quality sound system and a ceiling-mounted lighting rig.
When booking the Congress Hall, one also enjoys priority access to the Foyer. The foyer can be used for registration, exhibitions and coffee breaks in conjunction with various types of meetings. For receptions and events, this area naturally lends itself to use as a refreshment or cocktail area.
Connected to the Congress Hall, one will find stage dressing rooms, an office, a meeting room section (Odin, Balder, Tyr and Frigg) and Torgutsikten. This room is 194 m² and can be used as a "speakers prep room", for exhibition or lunch etc.
Are you planning to split your delegates into parallel sessions/group work areas? We have around 20 halls and meeting rooms of various sizes. See an overview of our capacity here.
Oslo Congress Centre is the "Arena of Opportunities", where only your imagination can set the limits of what is possible. Contact our experienced booking department. They will assist you in finding the best solution for your own particular event.

Ramona is a series of interfaces that aim to enhance the expressive possibilities and intimacy of the interactions between electronic music performers and digital musical instruments. This is accomplished through a series of studies exploring specific gestures and new materials.
In Espongina, water and wood are explored as materials involved in the interaction with the audio software or synth. Using waterproof piezos as the sensing method, the power of the audio produced by the movement of the water around the microphones is mapped to different MIDI parameters.

9-18 June leaves April holding the bag in '06
March 8 2007
Much has been made of the Phillies slow starts in recent years, but not to be forgotten is how consistently hot the Phillies have been finishing the season. Here's what the Phils have done in April and September over the past three seasons:
In two of the three years, if you combine April and September the Phillies are over .500. In '05 they were a game under. In '06 what really did them in was a 9-18 June. In '05 they played above .500 in every month except April -- just not enough above .500. Their best month was August when they went 16-11. In '04 they were under .500 in April, June, July and August.
Over the last three Aprils, the Phillies have won 30 of 69 games, playing to a .435 winning percentage. If they won games at that rate over 162 games they would win about 70.
Over the past three Septembers, the Phillies have won 52 of 82 games, playing to a .634 winning percentage. If they won games at that rate over an entire season they would win about 103.
Over the past three years the Phillies have won 85, 88 and 86 games.
Pat Gillick thinks Freddy Garcia can come up big in big games.
Geoff Geary wants to make sure he's in prime shape by the time the playoffs and World Series come around.
Brett Myers helps others.
Cole Hamels thinks Philadelphians are crazy and wants to be your role model.
Myers may be having trouble adjusting to pitching at a lower weight.
Pat Burrell
gets contacts tomorrow.
The Phillies beat the Toronto Blue Jays yesterday, winning 6-3 in ten innings to improve to 4-3 in spring training. The game featured outstanding pitching from Phillies' relievers and home runs by Burrell and Helms and a walkoff shot from Brennan King.
The Phillies started virtually all of their regulars with Ruiz behind the plate and Simon at DH. Helms hit sixth and Rowand seventh.
The Phils managed one hit against Gustavo Chacin, a Chase Utley single, through the first three innings. Burrell hit a two-run homer in the fourth and Helms added a solo shot in the same inning. First of the spring for each player.
Michael Bourn grounded out to end the inning in the eighth with the bases loaded with the score tied at 3-3. For the second day in a row, Brennan King had the hit that won the game for the Phillies. This time it was a three-run home run in the bottom of the tenth.
Ruiz was 0-for-3 with three strikeouts.
Dobbs had two more hits, he was 2-for-2 with two singles. Garcia 1-for-3 with a strikeout, Werth 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Coste was 0-for-1.
Brett Myers got the start for the Phils and shut Toronto down through two innings. In the third he gave up three walks to the first four men he faced, loading the bases with one out. Lyle Overbay singled to put the Blue Jays up 1-0 with Victorino nailing the second runner at the plate. Brian Sanches replaced Myers, allowing an RBI-single that put Toronto up 2-0 before getting the final out to end the third. Sanches returned and struck out the side in the fourth.
JA Happ followed Sanches and went three scoreless innings in which he struck out three and the only Blue Jay to reach did so on an error by Rollins. He returned for a fourth inning and got the leadoff man before allowing a solo home run to Jason Smith. Happ got the second out of the inning before being replaced by Clay Condrey. Condrey got the final out of the eighth and returned to set Toronto down 1-2-3 in the top of the ninth.
Ryan Cameron, a right-handed 29-year-old NRI, came on to pitch the top of the tenth and threw a 1-2-3 inning.
Phillies pitchers allowed just three hits. Myers and Sanches each allowed a single, and Happ gave up the solo home run in his fourth inning of work.
Cleveland this afternoon. Adam Eaton, Madson and Alfonseca will pitch against the Blue Jays in a "B" game.

• Raspberry Cream Sandwich Cookies from Martha Stewart - Given our fondness for sandwich cookies, this one is a quick sell.
• Louisiana Pecan Balls from Sunset Magazine - These sound deliciously similar to Mexican wedding cakes.
• Watermelon Sugar Cookies from Megan's Cookin' - Too cute!
• Cherry Double Chocolate Cookies from Gourmet - Chock full of cherries, chocolates, and crunchy nuts.
• Peanut Butter Crunch Cookies from Real Simple - Classic peanut butter cookies pick up some crunch with rice krispies!
• Black and White Cookies from Smitten Kitchen - I've always wanted to attempt making these classic New York cookies at home.
• Petite Lemon Curd Cookies from Epicurious - I fear I may eat a great many of these "petite" cookies.
• Lime Sugar Sandwich Cookies with Blueberry Cream Filling from Tasty Kitchen - I would make these for the bright purple filling alone.
• Double Ginger Crackles from Fine Cooking - Perfect with a glass of lemonade.
• Chocolate Nutella Cookies from Simply Recipes - This recipe is about the only reason I'd voluntarily part with a cup of Nutella.

The pastry chef girlfriend has been making chocolate chip cookies rolled into a ball and dipped in a schokinag glaze.
Messy, sometimes she puts them on stick so I'm not covered like a two-year old.
The Clumsy Eater
How about a simple oatmeal chocolate chip for that summer picnic. I just made some. : h
I never thought of cookies as summer food; we always look to summer desserts with fresh, seasonal fruit in the summer: crips, crumbles, buckles, grunts, shortcakes, pies, ice cream or frozen yogurt, custards, or just straight up. (Though the frozen stuff isn't the best choice for picnic packing, as noted.)
I'm not being snarky, just genuinely surprised as I've never thought of cookies as picnic food before.
I like dry, unmelty cookies for travel, like peanut butter or oatmeal raisin.
I'm loving these caramel apple cookies: http://modernmealsfortwo.com/?p=140

It looked like the University of Southern Mississippi baseball team was headed for its first winning streak since their season-opening sweep of Missouri, but an uncharacteristic breakdown by starting pitcher Andrew Pierce cost the Golden Eagles.
With his team up 3-nothing, the senior pitched shut-out baseball through seven innings, but gave up three earned runs in the bottom of the eighth. Cody Livingston gave up the go-ahead run immediately after, and Southern Miss fell to the University of Central Florida 4-3 in game two of the series on Friday night. The loss went to Livingston, and the Eagles fell to 10-16 in the year.

Our Foundations program is designed to make you understand the basic concepts of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It will serve as an overview of the most important positions and situations and explains how to understand and deal with them. Here you will learn the basic movements of takedowns, self defense, submissions, positioning and escapes which you will use during your entire Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training experience. The sparring is mostly limited to one specific situation (i.e. mount, back, guard…) which means you will focus more on one position at a time. This methodology increases your learning curve and prevents injury.
Anyone and everyone can benefit from our foundations class. Even the more advanced practitioner can attend to these classes on a regular basis to sharpen up their foundation skills. After all, you can't build an empire on an unstable foundation.
BJJ Intermediate
Once you have completed the foundations program you are ready to move on the the next stage. The Intermediate Program will guide you through your evolution in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Once you have the basic movements down you are now ready to begin developing some characteristics on your fighting style. Here you will learn more combinations of the basic techniques together with some more advanced details. In this program you will be able to apply your techniques in live training as the intensity of the class also increases.
