The idea is that you don't need any serious IT expertise to use it, so it's perfect for the business user. Hopefully more products like this will be seen at the expo.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

The Kentucky Supreme Court will decide if an inmate involved in a 2009 prison riot received a fair disciplinary hearing after an officer prevented any witnesses from testifying on his behalf.
The high court has not set a date for the case of 30-year-old Clifford Boards-Bey, who is serving 10 years in prison for burglary and theft.
Boards-Bey was convicted in the internal prison discipline system of trying to hurt a corrections officer during a 2009 riot at Northpoint Training Center. Boards-Bey denied attacking anyone but declined to testify at a hearing later that year at Green River Correctional Complex. A hearing officer ruled that because Boards-Bey chose to remain silent, he forfeited his right to question witnesses.
Prison administrators ordered the inmate to 180 days of disciplinary segregation.

I have raised this sort of question before but I think that now I've found a better term for the subject, one which might ring more bells for people - hence the repost. Hope you won't be too angry with me.
I am interested in eigenvector localization for deterministic matrices. There is a whole body of work on the random matrix setup but I am interested in bounding the ratio between eigenvector coordinates of certain fixed and messy matrices. Any results out there that you know of pertaining to this? (I know the old masters' work on positive/nonnegative matrices but need to handle further cases).

rm -rf will fail if something tries to delete the same file tree (I think because
rm enumerates the files first, then deletes).
A simple test:
# Terminal 1
for i in `seq 1 1000`; do mkdir -p /tmp/dirtest/$i; done
# Now at teh same time in terminal 1 and 2
rm -rf /tmp/dirtest
There will be some output into stderr, e.g.:
rm: cannot remove directory `/tmp/dirtest/294': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove directory `/tmp/dirtest/297': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove directory `/tmp/dirtest/304': No such file or directory
I can ignore all the stderr output by redirecting it to
/dev/null, but removing of
/tmp/dirtest actually fails! After both commands are finished,
/tmp/dirtest is still there.
How can I make
rm delete the directory tree properly and really ignore all the errors?

How can we associate a vector space structure to a category with one object ? Is there a canonical way of doing this ?
You must be able to add vectors, but generally there is no way to "add" morphisms in a general category with one object. Also, what should the base field be?
Let $C$ be your category. What you could do, is to fix a field $k$, and consider the freely generated vector space $k[Hom(C)]$ (funny notation...). That is, the vector space with elements formal $k$-linear combinations of the morphisms in $C$.
Let's denote $*$ the (unique) object of your category. The (unique) set of maps of this category is the set of endomorphisms $\mathrm{Hom}(*,*)$. By definition of category, this is set is, well, a set. But there are circumstances where it can have more structure.
For instance, if your category is an abelian one, then $\mathrm{Hom}(*,*)$ is an abelian group. This is the case, e.g., for the category of abelian groups, where the set of morphisms between two abelian groups is also an abelian group.
When the sets of morphisms have the structure of $\mathbf{k}$-vector spaces, the category is called $\mathbf{k}$-linear ($\mathbf{k}$ a field). For instance, in the category of $\mathbf{k}$-vector spaces, hom-sets are also $\mathbf{k}$-vector spaces.
Hence, a $\mathbf{k}$-linear category with just one object is essentially the same as a $\mathbf{k}$-vector space. Namely, $\mathrm{Hom}(*,*)$.

Do Individual Day Traders Make Money?
* Does not participate in the long-term upward drift in stock prices exhibited by equities;
* Does not have a team of analysts providing researched trade ideas;
* Does not have a dedicated IT and programming staff to support and automate trading;
* Does not have a rich array of colleagues to share ideas and learn from;
* Does not have access to the best trading software and news services;
* Does not enjoy preferential commission rates available to exchange members.
Those are formidable obstacles. But what does research tell us about the success of individual day traders?
A 2004 study from Brad Barber, Yi-Tsung Lee, Yu-Jane Liu, and Terrence Odean was noteworthy in that it studied the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange over a five-year period. From that mass of data, they were able to identify specific market participants and categorize their trading as day trading vs. investing. Moreover, they were able to separate active day traders from others.
Interestingly, day trading accounted for 22% of the volume of individual traders, but only 5% of the volume of institutional participants. Moreover, volume in day trading is highly concentrated in their sample: the 1% of largest day traders accounted for half of all day trading volume.
The major conclusion of the authors is that "day trading is treacherous, but not entirely a fool's game." Specifically, "a large fraction of day traders, more than eight out of ten, lose money, though a small fraction of day traders earn large persistent profits." Not surprisingly, the heaviest (largest) day traders were most likely to be profitable; as a group they made money before transaction costs but not after. The smaller, less active day traders lost money even before transaction costs were factored in.
I believe that the results of the research suggest a Darwinian mechanism at work. The largest day traders are likely to be the best capitalized, and hence the best able to survive their learning curves in markets. The most active day traders are also those who are most apt to lose their money simply due to the cumulative impact of slippage and commission costs. The least active traders (part-time, occasional) get the fewest looks at markets and hence are least likely to learn and internalize pattern recognition skills essential to day trading. This creates a selection mechanism in which a relatively small number of large, frequent day traders survive to dominate volume and profitability.
So what keeps new traders coming to an arena in which far fewer than 20% of participants are profitable after costs? Odean's research suggests that overconfidence plays an important role. Just as participants in lotteries and casinos overestimate their odds of winning, individual day traders may place too much confidence in their ability to read market patterns out of the gate. If that is true, the majority of individual day traders should fail relatively early in their careers, something that has been mentioned to me by executives at brokerage firms.
But this only scratches the surface of the authors' findings regarding success and failure in the day trading arena. My next post in this series will take a closer look at what separates the winners from the losers.
Overconfidence and Underconfidence in Trading
The Most Common Trading Problem
Why It's So Easy to Lose Money in the Markets

this is a fascinatig post. I've always heard and read that the mojority of traders lose money, be it %80 or %90. But nowhere have I read some factual data to back up this truism (up until now). Thank you!
- MikeH said...
No surprising, considering someone going in with no knowledge sees stories and promises of making $100s if not $1000's per trade. That gives rise to a lot more confidence that the more realistic, $1.00 or less, net, per contract traded, over a large number of trades. If you make one tick per contract, and get 10% of that as your net, you're on par with most other business ventures.
- Sandor Tucakov Caetano said...
That was an amazing research...
I wish taxes in Brazil weren't so high. In terms of comissions we pay as much as a guy in Taiwan (roughly 0.15%) but we pay 15% from all our winnings in taxes :(
- Paolo Pezzutti said...
I do agree.
Most of the daytrders underperform the market and often a buy and hold strategy. Lack of consistency, time, resources, weakness of the methodology implemented, commissions, connectivity, automation, etc. makes things difficult.
I think greed is what continues to attract new losers who think to approach the market and make money easily. Most of these people enter the market when it is prone to give money and they make money for quite some time. When conditions change, "wanna-be" traders do not have the ability to adapt and give back everything they earned before and much more very quickly. This is the point when most give up and do not take into account in their strategy the lesson learned. Waiting for new suckers to join the club of losers at the next bubble.
- Dinosaur Trader said...
Thanks for this. I think there's a problem of definition. I've been daytrading for 9 years and all the guys I started with (minus 4 or 5) are still going strong.
So in my experience, at least 80% of daytraders seem to be successful.
If statisticians want to disparage daytrading by defining guys who were trying to catch a 50 point move in Qualcomm back in the day as daytraders, that's fine, but it definitely skews the numbers.
I mean, if I fish a few times a year and don't catch a fish does that mean 99% of fisherman fail? No, because I'm not a fisherman. I'm just dropping a line, hoping to get lucky.
Hopefully, that makes some sense.
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
Hi DT,
I've worked at quite a few prop firms and known and worked with many traders. I can say with certainty that an 80% success rate is unheard of at any of these shops, in any markets, in any time frames. Which means that you have a talented cohort of traders! Thanks--
- Alexandra said...
This is an awesome article. Now, let me ask a question that will instantly reveal that I am rather an inexperienced trader (or trader-to-be).
If the majority of the people lose money and know about others losing money, why do they keep trading?
Judging by this post, day trading does not appear to be a profitable activity.
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
Hi Alexandra,
Not at all; I think your question is quite perceptive. Many people pursue trading for psychological needs; not necessarily because they are talented or skilled. I strongly suspect the percentage of people who make their living from trading on an ongoing basis is not so different from the percentage of people that make their living from sports, art, etc.
- DmytrenkoAV said...
I saw many times situation. Traders lost own money, traders lost borrowed money and still trading in minus.. Even dont know on what they live :-)In this situation they dont see any possibilities to make things normal exept trading. Paradox
- SnapTrader said...
Hi Brett,
Great post!
It brings up an interesting question. I understand how the losing traders worked out, but what about the winning traders. The article says: "Not surprisingly, the heaviest (largest) day traders were most likely to be profitable; as a group they made money before transaction costs but not after."
So, if even the winning traders lose money after transaction costs it implies that (at least as a group) there are no real winners. Did I read that right? I have to believe that there are SOME winners... maybe not. Perhaps we're all delusional... ;-)
- Shirley said...
Hello Brett,
First, I want to say that I highly admire your understanding of the day trader's psyche, especially that price action of the stock market is an aggregate of the mass mindset of investors/traders, especially the large Institutional players, who move the market.
I have been in the preparatory stage for 8 months now as I ready myself to enter the real world of day trading, where in my prep stage, I have been 'paper' trading. I agree 100% about the "pattern recognition skills essential to day trading." In the 8 months I have created a 6 piece tool kit/6 prong strategy/gainful trade mindset approach, which works 80% with 'paper' trading. From my point of view, discerning intraday price direction is DOABLE.
Soon I will be real money day trading, anticipating to be in that small category of 10% to 20% successful day traders. I have also read that the success rate is 10%. The real success rate is fine either way, being that it is higher than the success rate for the artistic world of 4%.
Keep up the wonderful articles, which I enjoy reading whenever I come across them.

My best friend and I have both been traders for several years. He continues to lose money year after year, but he keeps doing it. He has told me that he has lost about $250,000 in trading. I think that for him, it is an addiction -- a type of legal gambling. It was a factor in two divorces for him, also.
I've tried to teach him how I trade, but he won't listen. Instead, he keep buying automated "black box" systems that all lose money. Recently, he switched from trading futures to trading Forex.
Frankly, I wish I could convince him to give it up, but he just keeps trading and losing money.
- Trader Kevin said...
Dr. Brett: "I've worked at quite a few prop firms and known and worked with many traders. I can say with certainty that an 80% success rate is unheard of at any of these shops, in any markets, in any time frames."
Ditto from my experience as both a floor trader and working in a prop shop. Most would-be traders are not successful.
- Trader Kevin said...
S Bernard: "My best friend...has told me that he has lost about $250,000 in trading. I think that for him, it is an addiction--a type of legal gambling...I've tried to teach him how I trade, but he won't listen."
Everyone gets what they want out of the markets. Your friend has either inherited money and/or made money in order to be able to lose a quarter million. Why does he continue to punish himself? Does he feel undeserving of his wealth?
S Bernard: "Recently, he switched from trading futures to trading Forex."
I'm reminded of the guy who bet football with his bookie and lost every week. Then he lost money on the Super Bowl. His bookie said, "There aren't any more football games. Do you want to try hockey?" To which the bettor replied, "Are you kidding me? What do I know about hockey?"
S Bernard: "I wish I could convince him to give it up, but he just keeps trading and losing money."
How can the rest of us make money if you're out there convincing losers to quit the game???
- Trader Kevin said...
Alexandra: "Judging by this post, day trading does not appear to be a profitable activity."
It's very similar to poker. There are a lot of small losers, some moderate winners, and a handful of huge winners. Meanwhile, the house gets their cut of every trade/hand.
There are several lures to trading. One is that it sucks working a regular job for someone else. Even if you have a backer your trading decisions are yours to own.
Also, some of us like getting up in the morning not knowing what the day will bring. Moreover, we love the intellectual challenge of the markets.
Finally, if you're a good trader you can make boatloads of money. You don't even have to be a big trader to start. The beauty of the markets is that they're scalable if you're in a deep, liquid market. If you can make money trading one or two emini S&Ps at a time, someone will give you money to trade 10, 50, 100 at a clip.
Alexandra, all the best to you in your trading career!
- ROI2TCO said...
Winners are glorified and losers keep quiet. Anyone who are traded even for a brief period knows these statistics are true.
Look at number of people trying to recognize chart patterns and trying to find out the "holy-grail" pattern! How much money is poured into these so called "systems".
And you can add one more angle in your research - most people who make money are trading with other people's money, not their own!!
And yes it is analogous to poker. You have a $10,000 stack the person who is playing against you has $10 million. S/he is going ALL-IN every time. You may get lucky 1,2,3, ... 10 times, but all it takes to wipe you out is ONE turn.
Good post - sometime, you don't see what is right in front of you! And even if you do, you don't recognize it.

The Jedi Academy FAQ
The Jedi Academy FAQ
This brief FAQ has been designed to answer some questions that seem to be uppermost in people's minds. It's a rough and ready guide, and subject to change, but please read through it first to see if your question has already been answered, before posting in the forum. Thank you.
WARNING: This FAQ may contain some information that may be considered 'spoiler' material (if you wish to know nothing about game content).
Q. Is this Jedi Knight III?
Not specifically. Although it is the third game in the Jedi Knight series, this game goes in a slightly different direction, and the III has been omitted from the title. It is simply called
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Q. Is this just an expansion pack for Jedi Outcast? Ive heard the engine and content is the same.
No. Jedi Academy is a full sequel and a continuation of the Jedi Knight series. In a recent article in PC Gaming World, they included the following comparison
Levels: 26 in JA, 24 in JO
Locations: 20 in JA, 9 in JO
Force Powers: 16 in JA, 11 in JO
The SP game is longer than JO, has a different story, some different enemies, a different method of progression, you play as a different character, there are some different MP modes, more vehicles, and there is a greater emphasis on lightsaber combat. The game is a full sequel.
Q. What engine does the game use?
The game is built on the same engine as Jedi Outcast (which was based on heavily modified Quake 3 Arena code), but it has been even more heavily modified in terms of terrain scale and complexity, model animation and definition, scripting and other areas. Key engine modifications include:
Arioche Terrain System
- developed originally for Soldier Of Fortune II, this has now been implemented for the JA engine
- is an advanced scripting system. Scripts will now be available for use in MP.
- is the animation system that incorporates hit zones for models and handles bolt-on models (like hats and glasses).
Q. Is there location-based damage in the game?
Yes. Due to the implementation of the Ghoul II technology, body and particularly head shots will be more damaging than hitting limbs. As in Jedi Outcast, you will be able to sever limbs in lightsaber combat.
Q. On which platform will this game be released?
At the moment, the game is scheduled for release on the PC and X-Box platforms. No other platforms have been mentioned at this time.
Q. When will the game be released?
Jedi Academy has officially gone GOLD, and should be in North American stores on 17th September 2003. Outside of North America, the release date has been set for 19th September 2003. Not too much longer to wait.
Q. Will a playable demo be released for the game?
Yes. A single-player only demo for Jedi Academy has been released, and you can grab it
from LucasFiles
. For a list of other mirrors, check the
jediknight.net main page
. Warning...the demo is 186Mb, so it's not 56k friendly. The demo shows the customisation options, and has two complete levels from the final game.
Q. Are there any trailers for the game?
Yes. You can either visit the
Official site
and look under the
Gallery Section
for video trailers, or alternatively download them from
, including our own exclusive in-game footage.
Q. Will my system be able to run the game?
System specifications have just been released on the official site, as follows:
100% Directx 9.0a compatible computer is required.
Pentium III or Athlon Class 450Mhz or faster
128Mb RAM required, 256Mb recommended
32Mb OpenGL 1.4 compatible PCI or AGP 3D Accelerator card
16-bit Directx 9.0a compatible sound card
If your system does not meet these specifications, you may experience difficulties running the game.
Q. Who is developing the game?
Raven Software is developing the game under the guidance and direction of Lucasarts.
Q. Are these the official Lucasarts forums?
A. No. However, the jediknight.net forums are the Premier forums for Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy, and LucasForums (part of the LFNetwork) covers all Lucasarts titles. Some of the developers of Jedi Academy visit these forums to keep people informed about the game.
Q. Where can I find further information?
You can visit the
Official Jedi Academy Site
. You can also visit
Raven Software
. For up to date news on articles and announcements about the game, you can also visit
. (formerly JKII.Net)
Q. Will I be playing Kyle Katarn again in the Single Player campaign?
No. You will play your own customisable character who is a student at the Jedi Academy. Kyle Katarn is now a teacher at the Academy, and you will meet him along with Luke Skywalker.
Q. Can I choose my own name in SP?
Unfortunately not. Your name in the game will be 'Jaden Korr' according to a recent article. The same name will be used for both male and female characters that you might create. It is suspected that you cannot choose your own name due to issues around cut scenes, and de-personalising the in-game experience.
Q. I've heard you can customise your character. What does this mean?
Yes, you will be able to choose a different race, gender, skin colour and clothing for your character. Apparently there will be around 2000 different combinations for the look of your character.
Your customised character can also be used in MP modes.
Q. What races can I choose to play in the game?
Currently confirmed races include:
Human (male or female)
Rodian (male only)
Twi'lek (female only)
Zabrak (Darth Maul's race - female only)
Kel Dor (Plo Koon's race from The Phantom Menace - male only)
All races will now start with the 'Medium' lightsaber stance, according to the official site.
The reason for the restriction on genders for particular races has not been made clear at this time. It is suspected that it may be possible to add other genders via mods.
Q. Can I modify my lightsaber?
Yes. You will be able to choose a different hilt and blade colour for your lightsaber. Colours for the blade will be preset, and include Green, Orange, Blue, Purple and Gold for SP. Red will probably be selectable in MP only, and you may receive a Red blade if you turn to the Dark side in SP. This is similar to the choices available in Jedi Outcast MP modes. For dual sabers, you can choose a different colour/hilt for each blade.
Q. I've heard you can choose more than one lightsaber in the game. Is this true?
Yes. You will initially be given a single lightsaber at the start of the game. Later in the game you will be given the opportunity to choose between wielding two lightsabers, or having the double-bladed lightstaff, which is similar to Darth Maul's signature weapon.
Q. Someone told me you can switch between all three types of sabers at will, by joining dual sabers into the lightstaff. Is this true?
A. No. You will have to choose between either dual sabers or the lightstaff. Although a quick switch between dual sabers and lightstaff was shown on some video footage, this was simply a cheat for demo purposes, and will not be included in the final release of the game. You will, however, be able to turn off one blade of the lightstaff and use it as a single blade.
Q. Are there any new lightsaber stances?
A. Yes. New moves have been implemented for the whole range of saber combat, and the recent update to the official site confirms the stances for each blade type...
Single Saber
Stab Back, Lunge Attack, Force Pull Impale, Attack Kata, Attack Enemy on Ground, Cartwheel, Stab Forward
Slash Back, Flip Attack, Force Pull Slash, Attack Kata, Attack Enemy on Ground, Cartwheel, Stab Forward
Slash Back, Jump Attack, Force Pull Slash, Attack Kata, Attack Enemy on Ground, Cartwheel, Stab Forward
You will be able to use saber throw as usual.
Dual Sabers
This stance will incorporate faster and spinning types of attacks as follows...
Slash Back, Flip Forward Attack, Twirl, Attack Enemy On Ground, Saber Barrier, Stab Front And Back, Stab Left And Right, Cartwheel, Stab Forward
You will be able to saber throw one blade, while retaining the other for defence or attack.
Saber Staff
This stance will incorporate acrobatic flips and kicks in any direction, including...
Slash Back, Backflip Attack, Twirl, Spinning Kata, Attack Enemy on Ground, Kick, Jump Kick, Split Kick, Spin Kick, Flip Kick, Butterfly Attack, Stab Forward
While the two blades are lit, you will not be able to use saber throw - but you will be able to extinguish one blade in order to use saber throw.
Q. What other weapons will be in the game?
In recent interviews it has been stated that you will have two more weapons than in Jedi Outcast. Currently confirmed weapons (in interviews and trailers) include:
Lightstaff (double-bladed lightsaber)
BlasTech DL-44 hand blaster (like Han Solo's weapon)
E-11 Blaster Rifle
Wookiee Bowcaster
Imperial Heavy Repeater
DEMP2 (Destructive Electro-Magnetic Pulse)
Stouker Concussion Rifle
Golan Arms FC-1 Flechette Weapon
Tenloss Disruptor Rifle (with Sniper scope)
Merr-Sonn PLX-2M Portable Missile System
Thermal Detonators
Laser trip mines
Detonation Packs
It should be noted that Jedi Academy has a 'weapons loadout' feature, which restricts the weapons with which you can start each mission. You have a lightsaber and Blastech DL-44 by default, and can then choose a further 2 guns, plus an explosive device (TD, DP, LTM).
Q. What equipment will be in the inventory this time?
At least some of the equipment (if not all) will be returning from Jedi Outcast, including the currently confirmed items:
Arakyd Mark VII Inquisitor (also known as a Remote)
Stationery Shield
Personal Shield Generator
Assault Sentry
None of these were selectable in the SP demo, so they may be MP only.
You will also have access to the stationery Ammo (orange) and Power (green) converters seen in Jedi Outcast.
Q. What Force powers will be in the game?
This time around, some of the Force powers found in JO's MP will now make an appearance in JA's SP campaign. Force powers will include:
Force Sense - similar to 'Seeing' in JO's MP it will allow you to 'see' some enemies/objects through walls and other obstacles nearby.
Saber Throw
Saber Defence
Saber Offence
Light Side
Heal - Team Heal has also been confirmed for MP
Jedi Mind Trick - it is now confirmed as a Light Side only power in the recent demo.
Dark Side
You will be able to combine some Force powers for special attacks, like Grip + Saber Throw to get a mid-section slice, and Speed + Jump to achieve long Force jumps.
You can see examples of each Force power on the Official site.
Q. How will Force progression be handled in SP? Will it be the same as Jedi Outcast, with set Force powers being made available at certain points?
No. In the demo you can
level up
(to a maximum of 3 levels) in a particular Force power for each mission, from a choice of 8 Force powers (4 light side, or 4 Dark side). So you will be able to choose which Force powers you want to improve on a particular mission. You will have access to the neutral Force powers from the beginning, and these will be automatically upgraded throughout the game.
Q. Am I stuck playing the Light Side again?
No. You will be able to choose Dark Side powers in Single Player, and start down the path to the Dark Side. How far you will be allowed to go is uncertain, but there are apparently two different endings to the game dependent on which path you choose in the Force.
Q. Will there be any guest appearances in JA, like Lando in Jedi Outcast?
Yes. There will be guest appearances by Chewbacca, Wedge Antilles, C-3PO and Boba Fett, and it is possible other characters from the movies may make an appearance. Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn will also return.
Q. Will this be another linear game like JO?
No. This time around, you will be able to select which missions you wish to play. There is a 'tiered' system for mission choices, with 5 possible mission choices in each tier. You need only complete 4 missions from each tier, and skip the 5th, but doing so means you will miss out on gaining some additional Force powers, and possibly other equipment. Some articles have also mentioned that if you find a particular mission too difficult, you can abandon it and try another, or try that mission again later. This system should add a great deal of flexibility to the Single Player campaign.
Q. Will there be lots of difficult puzzles to solve like in Jedi Outcast?
The emphasis in Jedi Academy is on action, rather than puzzles. That is not to say there will be
puzzles, but there will be fewer, and less complicated puzzles, than in Jedi Outcast.
Q. Will we see any locations from the movies in the game?
Yes. You will again visit the Jedi Academy on Yavin IV, and Tatooine, Hoth and Coruscant have been confirmed as places to visit.
'Darth Vader's Castle' is mentioned in a recent article (which appears in some EU stories). Corellia, Bakura, Byss and Chandrila are also indicated in the demo. Since the 'music' appeared on the official site, it appears Korriban is also one of the locations, as there are 2 themes that mention it by name.
Each new mission is apparently based in a new setting, and as stated above, there will be 26 levels in 20 different locations.
Q. What types of enemies will be included in the game?
Currently confirmed enemies include Imperial Snowtroopers, Imperial Stormtroopers, TIE Pilots, Imperial Probe Droids, Tusken Raiders, Rodians, Gran, Trandoshans, Weequays, Mercenaries, Attack Droids, Rancors, Wampa ice creatures, a Sarlacc-like creature, and Cultists/Dark Jedi.
Q. What kinds of NPCs or Allies will there be in the game?
Currently we know there will be Jawas, other Padawan learners, and Chewbacca and Kyle will join you as allies in some of the missions.
Q. I've seen some screenshots, and the interface appears to have changed. What do the new parts of the HUD represent?
Yes. There is a different look for the on-screen HUD, but it does the same job as the one in Jedi Outcast. On the left you have a bar for Health (red), and one for Shields (green). On the right you have a bar for Force power (blue), and a bar for ammunition. The bar seen at the bottom of the screen in some screenshots is a shield/health rating for the vehicle/Tauntaun you are currently riding.
Q. Will I have to complete a number of missions with just guns, like in Jedi Outcast?
No. You will obtain a single lightsaber at the very beginning of the game, along with a few guns. As you progress through the game, you will later be able to pick up dual sabers or the lightstaff.
Q. Will there be driveable vehicles in the game?
A. Yes. The AT-ST has been confirmed as returning (although a recent article has thrown some doubt on whether it can be driven), along with a Swoop bike. You will also be able to ride on a Tauntaun, the bipedal creatures seen on Hoth in
Empire Strikes Back
. Other driveable vehicles may also be in the game, but no others have been mentioned or confirmed. Some driveable vehicles will also appear in the Siege MP mode. An X-Wing has also been mentioned in some articles, but this is not yet confirmed.
Q. Is this an MMORPG (Massively-Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) with a monthly fee?
No. This is an FPS you can play offline, or you can have multiplayer games online that cost you nothing. The only Star Wars MMORPG is
Star Wars Galaxies
. You can find the forum for Galaxies
Q. Can I use my customised SP character skin in MP?
Yes. You will be able to use your customised Jedi SP skin in MP. And because the engine itself supports this level of customisation, you will be able to see the customised skins of other players who use the default customisation options. For those who make their own skins or modifications, you will have to download that content in the usual way to be able to view it in-game, and server-side restrictions will also apply.
Q. Will there be other Multiplayer skins?
Yes. There will be a further 50 MP skins to choose from.
Q. Can I play the X-Box version online?
Yes. Jedi Academy supports X-Box Live! for online play.
Q. How many MP maps will there be?
According to information in the demo, there will be 23 MP arenas to play in. How many for each game mode is as yet unknown.
Q. What MP modes will be available in the game?
Confirmed MP modes for the game include:
Deathmatch (Free For All - FFA)
Team Deathmatch (Team Free For All - TFFA)
Capture The Flag (CTF)
Duel - 1v1 saber duelling combat, similar to that seen in Jedi Outcast.
Power Duel - a variation on Duel that will allow 2v1 duelling.
Siege - a new objective-based team game
Jedi Master
Capture The Ysalimiri
modes will NOT be returning in Jedi Academy.
Q. What is Siege mode?
Siege mode is a new MP mode that is team-based, class-based and objective-based. It has been likened (in a recent review) to the
Enemy Territory
style of play in
Return To Castle Wolfenstein
. The following classes will be available:
Heavy Weapons
Scout (sniper)
Each class will have a restricted set of weapons and equipment they can use, which will also be dependent on which side of the Force you choose (Lightside or Darkside). For the Scout class, for example, you will be able to use a
Cloaking device
(for Light Side), or a
Jet Pack
(for Dark Side). Other classes will have access to things like deployable shields, laser sentry cannons, Bacta canisters, and hovering Seeker Drones.
As seen in recent screenshots, there will be a 'radar' type of map indicating the location of key objectives, and a clock which is thought to be a timer that will count down, meaning objectives have to be completed within a certain time limit. Both AT-STs and Swoop bikes will be utilised in Siege mode, and one map will allow for a Rebels vs Imperials scenario on Hoth to fight for Echo Base.
Q. How many players will be supported in MP modes?
Up to 16 players are supported via LAN or online, at 56k or faster connections.
Q. Will there be bot support for MP modes of play?
Yes. Jedi Academy supports AI controlled bots similar to those in Jedi Outcast. There are some indications that bots may not be supported for the Siege mode.
Q. Will there be an option to give bots commands in MP modes?
One of the development team recently hinted in the forums that some kind of command structure
be implemented for some team-based modes (like Siege). This has yet to be fully confirmed.
Q. What are the server options?
These will be similar to Jedi Outcast, including the ability to join Internet or LAN servers via an in-game browser, and the ability to start your own server for online play, or create a private server for clans or groups.
Q. Will I be able to modify the game?
Yes. The developers have stated that Jedi Academy will be more mod-friendly than Jedi Outcast.
Q. Will we be able to convert our models/skins/maps and other Mods from Jedi Outcast to Jedi Academy?
One of the developers recently stated that models/skins from Jedi Outcast will be 'automagically' converted by the game for use in Jedi Academy. Most JO maps should also work without much tweaking or alteration. Regarding other mods where coding is involved, it is expected that extra or alternative coding will be required for Jedi Academy.
Q. Will editing tools be supplied with the game?
Editing tools will probably be released for download over the net after the game's release. It is expected that no SDK will be made available for the Singleplayer part of the game.
Q. Which editing tools have been used to develop the game?

BELTON (October 9, 2012)—The Belton City Council approved a plan Tuesday evening for a playground for special needs children next to an existing playground at Chisholm Trail Park.
The vote came after about a year's worth of planning and collaboration between the Lions Club of Belton and its city council.
"Exercise is something most of them don't get a lot of and having a place where they can go that is designed for the wheelchair or the crutch or whatever it is that keeps them from getting out and doing things is a good thing," said Dr. Richard Weaver, Lions Club Playground Project Chairman.
The special needs playground will be the first of its kind in Belton and will include ramps, protective bars and more.
The initial cost of the playground will be about $60,000.
The Lions Club will help raise funds for the first stages of the playground and hope to get other community organizations involved to expand the size of it.
Parents and guardians of special needs children, such as Susan Peters who cares for a 12-year-old with Down syndrome, are excited about the opportunities for their loved ones.
"Sometimes he has difficulty with climbing and motor skills, and he gets frustrated if he's out in a regular playground where maybe he can't master some of his skills," said Peters.
Belton ISD officials see value beyond health and leisure.
"When children are able to play on the playground, which is a natural childhood environment, the students are able to learn about one another and accept one another they learn to accept one another's differences and have a good time," said Jill Ross, Belton ISD Director of Special Programs.
Belton City Council and the Lions Club hope to have the children playing on this special-needs playground in spring of 2013.

I have music lying on my desktop and in my downloads and Music folders. Similarly, I have .odt files lying all over my home folder (mainly desktop). Is there a tool (preferably GUI so my parents can use it later) that sorts all these files into folders (/music, /docs, /others) for some peace of mind?
A clear (at least in your head) organization that you stick to as you go along is far and away the best solution. Any automated moving of files is almost certainly going to make more mess than it cleans up. There will be issues with name clobbering, and any deviation you try to make will just end up as more mess when it gets processed as well.
It would be really easy (as in just a couple of lines) to write a script to find and relocate files based on their extensions, but you would have to be much more specific with your question to get a good example of this.
I largely agree with Caleb's answer, but just for a little practice I wrote a shell-script for the task (by no mean does this imply that I'm a master of shell-scripting so comments welcomed).
Here is the script (it's a few dozen lines long so I'm making it a link) https://gist.github.com/1160707
To use the script:
To save from running commands, you can make an application shortcut on the desktop to run the script by double clicking. How to do this depends on your desktop, but I'm sure it's fairly easy if you are using something like GNOME or KDE.
For a little fanciness I make the script show a desktop notification when done.

Rider's still riding but he's also wishing
A song from the musical "Peter Pan" has been kicking around in my head this week, with revised lyrics, of course. Instead of "I Won't Grow Up," I've been singing "I Won't Quit Riding." Yes, winter is approaching, but a ride last Sunday enabled me to proclaim with satisfaction that I've ridden every month in 2012. Judging from the number of motorcycles that are still out of the road, their owners holding off on winterizing them, too, I'm certainly not alone in balking at calling it quits for the season.

More and more companies – especially startups – are adopting open office floor plans. Startup teams tend to be more nimble, energetic and productive and many people assume that open offices contribute to those benefits. Moreover, for many companies, open offices offer an opportunity to reduce real estate footprint and costs – you can put more people into an open layout. In fact, as more companies embrace remote work, the need for dedicated private offices diminishes.
Despite this trend towards open offices, there's a growing body of research casting doubt on the benefits of open offices. Researchers have found, for example, that the benefits of easy communication in an open office layout don't outweigh the lack of privacy, and other disadvantages.
The chart below, from Harvard Business Review, summarizes the biggest complaints about different types of office layouts (based on a study of more than 42,000 U.S. office workers).
As you can see, people complain the most about open offices and cubicles.
The researchers, Jungsoo Kim and Richard de Dear of the University of Sydney wrote:
Our results categorically contradict the industry-accepted wisdom that open-plan layout enhances communication between colleagues and improves occupants' overall work environmental satisfaction. The open-plan proponents' argument that open-plan improves morale and productivity appears to have no basis in the research literature.
Should you sound the alarm and build private offices for your teams?

You may have seen them around town. They aren't very big, but they've been drawing more and more attention lately.
The sign on the outside of these drop-off boxes says you can donate used items, and they will use the funds from them for projects in the U.S., Africa and India. It seems easy enough, but some have questions about the practices of the organization.
"We've had several requests about this particular charity wanting to know, are they legitimate, and is the money going where they say it's going," said Better Business Bureau Bowling Green Branch Manager Linda Chambers
Chambers says according to the IRS, there are about 850,000 charities in the U.S. and the Better Business Bureau helps determine if a charity is legitimate.
"You don't know if it's going to be tax-deductible. You don't know exactly where their money is going to go," said Chambers.
Management of one local charity fears if the lime green boxes aren't legitimate, they may be taking money away from those who really need help.
"It hurts us because there's so many people in our area that need help, and if it's going somewhere else, it's not helping them," said St. Vincent de Paul Asst. Manager Freda Corl.
Chambers says the first time they requested information from the organization, they refused to provide it, but are now cooperating with the current investigation.
"To be safe, people should wait until we've finished our investigation, and find out what we know before they start giving to a charity," said Chambers.
The Gaia Movement has not been identified as fraudulent at this time, but as with any business of charity, Chambers says it's best to know before you invest.
Chambers says the BBB evaluates a charitable organization based on 20 different qualifications, and they are still investigating the Gaia Movement.

I recently visited with Ashley Bruton at her family owned Skylite Cellars in Walla Walla, Washington. Ashley was a wonderful host and shared many delicious Skylite Cellars red wines. It was a comfortable, fun, engaging visit. The wine which captivated me this time was her 2009 Syrah.

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin. Water-soluble vitamins are stored in the body in limited amounts. Because they are excreted through the urine, it is a good idea to have them in your daily diet.
Vitamin B6's functions include:
Primary deficiency of vitamin B6 is rare—most foods contain the vitamin. Secondary deficiency may result in certain situations, including malabsorption, alcoholism, some medications, and cigarette smoking. Symptoms of vitamin B6 deficiency include:
The tolerable upper intake level (UL) for vitamin B6 from dietary sources and supplements combined is 100mg per day for adults. Symptoms of vitamin B6 toxicity include:
The following populations may be at risk for vitamin B6 deficiency and may require a supplement:
Homocysteine is an amino acid normally found in the blood. Studies have shown that elevated blood levels of homocysteine can be a risk factor for heart disease and
stroke. Because vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid are required for the metabolism of homocysteine, it is thought that a deficiency of any of the three may increase the level of homocysteine in the blood. Studies have failed to show that taking these vitamins as supplements in people with normal levels offers protection from heart disease.
There is evidence that high levels of B6 can help alleviate the symptoms of morning sickness during pregnancy.

Exporting with video elements can cause crash on Windows
I'm currently evaluating the 30 day trial of Sencha animator 1.0. When I go to "preview project in browser" Sencha animator crashes every time. Any ideas?

How do I post my project file?
I'm new to this so I'm not sure how to post my project file. When I try to simply attach a zipped file it says it's too large. I've taken out the video and it's 11mb...still too large?

When you save something in Animator it saves as a folder. If you compress that folder (typically right click -> Archive/Compress), you can attach it to a forum post using the attachment button.

What's the file size limit?
Is there a file size limit? I can't get the folder small enough? 11MB?

Suppose $K$ is a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and $K^{nr}$ the maximal unramified extension of $K$ in some fixed algebraic closure. Let $G_K$ be the absolute Galois group of $K$ and let $I_w$ be the wild inertia subgroup (recall that it is pro-$p$). What is the minimum number of topological generators for $I_w$? In other words, what is the $\mathbb{F}_p$-dimension of $H^1(I_w, \mathbb{Z}/p \mathbb{Z})$?
What I would like to compute is $H^1(K^{nr}, \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^{Gal(K^{nr}/K)}$. Does this follow once one knows the answer to the first question? Note that $H^1(K^{nr}, \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}) \cong H^1(I_w, \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})$.

Im looking for a discussions, feedback and ideas on implementing a custom instant messenger implementation in my webapp. I have tried some ideas but they all lack and I dont feel like "ok this feels good lets go on with this concept"
- facebook style bottom page always on ( don't like this one, its intrusive eats space )
- Floating windows keeping them floated even true page reloads by remember position
- Popup window that keeps open next to the website's or in a tab depending on browser config
- any ideas by the community on how to implement an instant messenger?
Option #1 ofcourse is widely accepted but I don't like it at all it eats space and it feels like copycatting facebook.
Option #2 This feels like an innovative idea to me and has the most traction towards I want to implement, although im not sure how user friendly it is to keep windows open they would also eat up space and might interrupt with the other page elements.
Option #3 Several sites do this, I personally don't like switching between windows and it feels a bit unprofessional although several big site's use this method
Option #4 What is the community's look at implementing instant messenger features inside an existing web application?

I'm reading through a DH implementation, and I think I found a potential hole.
- Public $p$ and $g$ values are properly selected.
- A candidate secret value $\bar a$ is pseudo-randomly selected such that $0 \leq \bar a < 2^{|p|}$, where $|p|$ is the number of bits required to store $p$.
- If $\bar a \geq p$, discard it and repeat the previous step. Otherwise select it as the secret value $a$.
This already leaks some information about the output of the PRNG, since measuring the number of repeated selections via timing tells us how many $\bar a$ values were chosen such that $\bar a \geq p$. Whilst the PRNG is poor (it's Java's inbuilt
Random class), this doesn't constitute a feasible timing attack.
An interesting case is when $p$ is close to $2^{|p|}$, since there will be cases where the $\bar a \geq p$ condition will only be met when certain bits are set. For example:
$p = 0xFE4041FB$, or 11111110010000000100000111111011 in binary.
$|p| = 32$, therefore the maximum selected $\bar a$ value will be $2^{|p|}-1 = 0xFFFFFFFF$.
For every iteration in the loop, we know that $\bar a \geq p$, so the first 7 bits of $\bar a$ must have been 1.
Am I correct here, or have I missed something? Are there any other holes?

To the editor:
Jesus said, "I came so that all may have life and have it to the full."
The Founders of our nation understood that religion and morality are essential to the survival of a freedom-loving society. Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people. Remember, the first right listed is the right to life.
Catholics must not forget that their obligation is to assert the values and principles that we hold as essential for the common good, beginning with the right to life of every human being, born and unborn. Therefore, one cannot vote for President Barack Obama, who is for abortion.

WELLSBURG - As head basketball coach at Brooke High School, Dave Reitter receives plenty of mail touting everything from equipment to tournament opportunities.
Because of its ties to a scholarship opportunity, a letter providing details on the KSA Holiday Tournament in Orlando, Fla., caught his eye.
"The KSA deal offers a $350 book scholarship to a player from every team participating," Reitter said recently. "Plus, each team winner then has an opportunity to receive a major scholarship."
Reitter explained once he read the information, he immediately began talking to members of his coaching staff and simply asked, "what do you think, can we do this?"
The answer obviously was yes. Reitter and his Bruins were in Orlando from Dec. 27 through Tuesday, participating in the Blue Bracket of the KSA event, staged at the Disney Wide World of Sports Complex.
Brooke began play with a 42-36 victory over Horace Mann High School from New York. Game two saw the Bruins earn a 71-61 win against Colts Neck High School out of New Jersey. Reitter's crew dropped a 61-48 verdict to Dublin Scioto, located near Columbus, in the title game of the bracket.
Reitter noted the primary mission of KSA events is to promote the educational aspects of athletic participation, including team-work, sportsmanship, work-ethic and responsibility. All KSA scholarships are awarded in accordance with the eligibility regulations of the National Federation of State High School Associations and appropriate state athletic associations.
Each team's winner is selected by either the school principal, athletic director or coach based on the following criteria: the award is to be granted to the best all-around student-athlete on the team. This definition is to include accomplishments and leadership not only on the court, but also in the classroom and community.
Brooke, Reitter said, has yet to select its team winner.
"We need to look at grade-point averages and community involvement," he added. "We have five or six kids who would be great choices. It's going to be a tough decision."
Financing the Florida trip for 13 players and two coaches took lots of hard work and effort, but, as Reitter pointed out, supporters of the program were up to the challenge.
"When we started talking about this opportunity, our parents got on board quickly as did our players," he said. "The parents and our boosters went out and started to raise money immediately. They did whatever they could to come up with the funds. In fact, they're still raising a little bit of money."
A final fundraiser is set for Jan. 12 at Applebee's in Steubenville.
"They did a great job of raising money, that's how we got there," Reitter continued. "We had business owners donate and a former player wrote a check for $500 because he realized this would be a great experience for the kids."
Reitter stressed that none of the money used came from the school district or any other public source. He noted parents who made the trip "paid for themselves."
The Florida trip was the first of its kind for Reitter, who has been involved in coaching for roughly 42 years.
"We've gone to places like Martinsburg before for holiday tournaments, but this definitely was a little nicer," he said. "The kids really enjoyed themselves. We played early in the day so the kids were able to visit the park.
"There was a Disney character breakfast on Sunday and a dinner of champions on Monday. The dinner had performers from Circus du Soleil, featured various entertainment and ended with a huge fireworks display."
From a basketball standpoint, Reitter noted "it was a successful trip for us."
"Any time you play, you always want to win but I thought our kids enjoyed themselves and played well," he continued. "They got to bond a little more than normal and KSA does a nice job of pairing up schools in the various brackets so the competition is balanced."
Hunter Wallace, who scored 11 points in the title against Dublin, was named the Brooke MVP.
The coach offered his sincere thanks to all those who worked hard to make the trip possible for his Bruins.
"All in all, it was a great experience and I would do it again in a minute," Reitter added.
