Citing cameras that function less than half of the time, a price tag of close to $14 million, and a lack of oversight that leaves many pieces of equipment gathering dust in a warehouse, City Controller Alan Butkovitz released a damning audit Wednesday of the city's long-troubled video-surveillance project and suggested that the money would have been better spent hiring more police officers.
Six years after Philadelphia began installing cameras in high-crime areas, the report found just 47 percent of the cameras functioning as of February.
The $13.9 million poured into the project works out to $136,000 for each working camera, Butkovitz said.

Sorry, I meant your Avatar, your hair is beautiful. I tried super soaker last night with the DO masque as my leave in and my condition 3 in 1 mousse after super soak and I got beautiful clumps on the bottom half of my hair that held but the top went kind of flat as the night went on even with a little DermOrganic fast dry shaping spray which I like as well (in place of the Sebatian Shaper I usually use) leaves the hair shiny. I'll try again with my Tresemme Naturals conditioner because I'm thinking the DO Masque may be a little too heavy for my fine hair.

Sony // 1999 // 93 Minutes // Rated PG-13
Reviewed by Chief Justice Mike Jackson (Retired) // January 20th, 2000
Nature called. Look who answered.
Adam Sandler churns out another sentimental comedy. It's mildly amusing, and a decent disc.
I long for the days, not so long ago, when Adam Sandler's comedy had an edge. He used to be bitter, and bizarre, and remarkably offensive and crude. Now it seems he's taken the schmaltzy Robin Williams route. The success of The Wedding Singer seems to have taught Sandler that the public wants him to be goofy and loveable. What a shame. I am hoping that he redeems himself with this fall's Little Nicky, in which he plays the son of Satan...literally. But enough lamenting the course of one comedian's career.
Adam Sandler plays Sonny Koufax, a thirtysomething law school grad whose life is going nowhere. His girlfriend Vanessa (Kristy Swanson -- Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Chase) is about to leave him. His roommate Kevin (Jon Stewart -- The Faculty, Playing By Heart) is about to marry Corinne (Leslie Mann -- The Cable Guy, George Of The Jungle), a doctor who used to be a Hooters girl. A series of events gives Sonny the chance to "adopt" six-year-old Julian. He thinks this will impress his girlfriend, but she's already shacked up with an older guy with a five-year plan ("What is it? Don't die?"). Sonny is entirely unprepared to care for a child, and blithely goes about ruining the child's life. In the process he breaks several legal codes (such as public urination, trespassing, and theft), and lets Julian run amok. He uses Julian to attract the attention of a cute lawyer, Layla (Joey Lauren Adams -- Dazed And Confused, Chasing Amy). Naturally, the Children Services Department catches up with him and busts him for impersonating Julian's real father, Sonny's roommate Kevin. The climax takes place in an improbable court scene prior to the obligatory happy ending.
Columbia turned out a nice DVD for Big Daddy. The movie is presented both in 1.85:1 anamorphic and in full-frame, on opposite sides of the disc. The picture is very pretty. I noticed no digital artifacts. Colors are accurate and nicely saturated.
Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Surround. The Dolby Digital track left much to be desired. The rear channels are rarely used, and I do not think I noticed the LFE meter on my receiver twitch until the end credits, during Guns'N'Roses' live version of their classic "Sweet Child O' Mine." The dialogue has a very unnaturally clean tone, like the entire movie was looped in the studio.
The extras include a 13-minute making-of featurette produced for HBO, cast biographies, five trailers (two for Big Daddy, one each for Go, Dick, and Ghostbusters), and two music videos. Two of the trailers are 1.85:1 widescreen, the others are full-frame. With the exception of Ghostbusters, each features Dolby 5.1 sound. The music videos are of Sheryl Crow's rendition of "Sweet Child O' Mine" and Garbage's "When I Grow Up." Both are full-frame, and feature Dolby Stereo sound. I would have appreciated a commentary track by Sandler and his screenwriting collaborator, Tim Herlihy.
My assessment of Big Daddy was perhaps a bit harsh. The movie is cute and entertaining, and it has its funny moments (most of them provided by Steve Buscemi as a homeless man), but it disappoints me because the humor fails to rise (or lower) to the level set by Sandler's greatest movies, Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. Those movies, particularly Billy Madison, elevate themselves because of their peculiarity. Hallucinations of a giant talking penguin, a hockey player who becomes a golf champion, a disgruntled cross-dressing, serial-killing classmate who saves the day...that's funny. Adopting a kid and letting him eat ketchup packets for lunch is not as original or funny. It's never fair to judge a movie based on the previous work of its stars, but I expect a lot from an Adam Sandler flick because I've enjoyed his television work, comedy albums, and preceding movies so much. I think it's fair to compare him to Robin Williams. Williams used to be, and still has the potential to be very, very funny. But, he's made too many sappy pseudo-comedies like Patch Adams and Bicentennial Man for me to ever watch him outside of a Comedy Relief special. Sandler hasn't ventured quite as far down the path of Saccharine Dreck, but he best beware.
If you like Adam Sandler, Big Daddy is worth a regular-priced rental, but don't expect anything on par with his good movies. Don't bother to buy it unless you really enjoyed it (like my wife did).
Columbia is acquitted of all charges brought against their DVD production. Adam Sandler is cautioned that the court will not tolerate any further unfunny comedies.

Dubai's Shares Drop Most in Week on Bets Rally Overdone
Dubai's benchmark stock index retreated the most in more than a week on investor speculation this year's rally was overdone and before the board of Emaar Properties PJSC meets to discuss a dividend payment.
Emaar, developer of the world's tallest skyscraper, dropped 1.3 percent. Dubai Financial Market PJSC, the only publicly traded Gulf Arab stock market, declined for a third day. The DFM General Index fell 1.4 percent, the most since March 7, to 1,660.47 at the 2 p.m. close in Dubai. The measure has surged 23 percent so far this year. The Bloomberg GCC 200 Index rose 0.3 percent.
"It's a technical correction," said Nabil Farhat, a partner at Abu Dhabi-based Al Fajer Securities. "Some investors are on the sidelines awaiting the results of Emaar's board meeting, which could impact stocks prices."
Emaar, which last year agreed to investor demands to make its first dividend payout since 2008, will meet tomorrow to discuss distributions for 2011. The company's shares, up 19 percent so far this year, said last month fourth-quarter profit more than doubled as it cut costs and generated more revenue from hotels and international operations. Emaar retreated the most since March 7, dropping to 3.06 dirhams.
Dubai's stocks gained this year as companies posted improved earnings and after the emirate's government said it expects two of its main companies to refinance debt without government help. The benchmark stock gauge tumbled 17 percent in 2011 on the heels of the uprisings in the Middle East and on concern that Europe's debt crisis will slow global growth.
Oil Declines
The value of shares traded in Dubai jumped to 981 million dirhams ($267 million) on March 5, the highest since April 2010, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The value of shares traded declined to about 218 million dirhams today.
Dubai Financial Market decreased 3.4 percent, the most since March 7, to 1.14 dirhams.
Oil for April delivery fell 0.3 percent to $107.06 a barrel last week in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gulf Arab oil exporters, including Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, supply about a fifth of the world's oil.
Abu Dhabi's ADX General Index decreased 0.7 percent and Oman's MSM 30 Index slipped 0.4 percent. Saudi Arabia's Tadawul All Share Index gained 0.2 percent, while Qatar's QE Index and Bahrain's BB All Share Index rose 0.1 percent. Kuwait's gauge increased 0.5 percent.
In North Africa, Egypt's EGX30 Index slumped 2 percent, the first drop since March 13. In Israel, the TA-25 Index gained 0.4 percent, while the yield on the country's 5.5 percent notes due January 2022 declined one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 4.77 percent.

I want to change the width of tabs.
Can I change it? I want to expand more.
I want to change the width of tabs.
Can I change it? I want to expand more.
Yes, you can change the width of the tabs. If you look at line 440 of the CSS file, you'll notice there are a couple attributes which drive the width of the tabs.
padding drives how much space exists between the text of the tab and the tab edges.
min-width sets the minimum size of the tab, which keeps the tabs from getting too small when using
width: auto
Does that answer your question?
Hi, thanks for your advice.
do you mean that I can expand tabs to add the above code(css) to my css file?
Yes, so for example if I wanted to increase the padding to 20px on the left and right and make the minimum tab width size 200px, I'd add the following to my theme's
.arconix-tabs-horizontal ul.arconix-tabs a {
padding: 0 20px !important;
min-width: 200px !important;
I have to add the
!important flag to these attributes so they are able to override the plugin's styles since I'm loading them in my theme's
style.css file

Another Codeigniter Direct implementation
Hi folks, I saw the other thread for a direct codeigniter implementation but I think my approach is a bit different.
You can grab the code from http://github.com/ficeto/direct-igniter
The classes that Direct calls in my case are regular Controller classes, just like those that are in the application/controllers folder but the ones for Direct stay in applications/direct folder.
Going this way lets you use the same models libraries and syntax as in codeigniter.
I'm running this same code in an application that is build on direct and features all kinds of grids, trees, forms and such.
I have a basic test build in, so some of the files are purely for example.
The files that you need to worry are:
application/controllers/direct.php <- you can change the index and deploy login checks if needed
and the application/direct folder for your controller classes
enjoy, I hope you like it.
NOTE: If you are using Codeigniter 2, you will need to change the model class in the example to extend CI_Model (don't forget to also reflect that in the constructor function)

Vt. man dies after confrontation with bullJuly 16,2014CASTLETON - A 77-year-old man died Tuesday afternoon after an escaped bull chased him to the ground on a farm on East Hubbardton Road.
Interim Police Chief Steve Dechen said today that Harold Stanyon was pronounced dead at Rutland Regional Medical Center after being chased by a 1,250-pound brown Swiss bull that he was boarding on his small farm.
Dechen said the bull escaped and began chasing Stanyon who was returning home from jogging.
Witnesses told police that Stanyon fell to the ground and the bull stepped over him, but no trampling or goring injuries were found on Stanyon's body.
Rather, police and the deceased man's doctor believe that Stanyon may have died from a heart attack.
Dechen said an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
The bull, which Dechen said was owned by Glen Mar Dairy, was led from the scene by witnesses who harnessed the animal minutes after Stanyon fell to the ground.
Dechen said the owners quickly "got rid" of the animal.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

What's your favorite Fiesta activity? Sitting under the tents eating all that great food? Listening to the musical groups and other performers? Going to the carnival across the street? Joining (or just watching) the Jalapeno Eating Contest? Maybe the best part for you is just helping the school. Write us a line on what you like, and then come out and see us!

Comfort:There was no hot water coming from any of the taps or showers. The hot tub was also too cold at 34 degrees.
Cleanliness: A blood stained tissue had been left on the floor.
Positives: Great facilities in the kitchen dishwasher, washing machine, oven microwave etc. Beautiful floor to ceiling window in the lounge. The cabin was very cosy & warmed up quickly with the radiators & log burning fire.

Beautiful in autumn with superb tree colours and a meadow at the back . All facilities well provided for and we loved the hot tub. We even had two bathrooms for 4 people which we thought was excellent but missed a bath.

Only fault with lodge was that there was missing slates on one of the single beds, which caused some discomfort.

"The design and quality of this card is AMAZING. Hats off for the extraordinarily fast and simple purchasing and customising of this product. Will definitely use again!"
"I used this enclosure card as my RSVP card. I did not want my guests to mail back an RSVP card. I just wanted them to call, text or email me. They turned out great and match my invitations! I just wish they were not plain white on the back of the card. The invites continue with the flower pattern on the back which I loved and these did not. Overall, excellent quality!"
"I used this card as an invitation to the rehearsal dinner that was taking place at the same venue (Bed and Breakfast) where the guest would be staying over for either the rehearsal dinner and wedding or just coming in for the wedding. This was a subtle invitation that did not take away from the wedding invitation but was a beautiful complement!"
"We are having a very small wedding and a larger reception. I was able to fully customize this to make it the wedding invitation, and made the wedding invitation for the reception. I called and spoke with a customer service associate and she was so helpful and answered all my questions, making it a pleasure to order!"
"On whole the invitation came to me looking beautiful and I have compliments on how the general appearance. When I called up customer service with inquiries they were most helpful and very knowledgeable with the product. I received all parts of the invitation in a timely fashion, and the designers did a wonderful job with the special request I made for design changes."

An Algerian court has postponed until March 11 the verdict in the trial of a cartoonist over an unpublished drawing of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the defendant's lawyer said Tuesday.
"The judge was absent. Another magistrate announced the postponement of the verdict," the cartoonist's lawyer Youcef Dilem told AFP after the hearing in the city of Oran.
The prosecution had sought a sentence of 18 months in jail and a fine of 30,000 dinars (280 euros, $380) against Djamel Ghanem, cartoonist for the French-language daily La Voix de l'Oranie for "insulting the president of the republic," his lawyer said at the beginning of his trial last month.
The case was filed against Ghanem "by his own employer" for a drawing that was to appear in the newspaper on September 30, 2013 but which was never published, Dilem said.
Dilem said the cartoon referred to 77-year-old Bouteflika's decision to seek a fourth term in office, a move which has caused concern among Algeria's political class due to the head of state's fragile health.
Bouteflika, who has been in power since 1999, confirmed on state television Monday that he had submitted the documents to run for a fourth term in office.
He was hospitalised in Paris for three months after suffering a mini-stroke, and has made few public appearances since he returned in July 2013.

Respondent-driven sampling was used to recruit female sex workers (FSWs) for a community survey conducted in southern India. After survey completion, participants were given a brochure describing a clinical trial that entailed daily use of a placebo vaginal gel for four months. This study assessed predictors of screening among survey respondents, predictors of enrollment among those eligible for the trial, and predictors of visit attendance and retention among those enrolled. FSWs who reported having symptoms of sexually transmitted infections (STI), engaging in sex work in the past month, and living in a subdistrict easily accessible by public transportation with a high concentration of FSWs, were more likely to screen. FSWs who had never been tested for HIV were more likely to enroll. This analysis suggests that the primary reason FSWs participated in the trial was a desire for health care—not other factors hypothesized to be important, e.g., HIV risk perception and poverty status.

Former secretary says ex-Baylor coach was ``angry man''
DALLAS -- A former administrative assistant who worked for Dave Bliss for three years said she often felt frightened by the ex-Baylor coach's behavior and his treatment of players. She said her complaints to university officials about the conduct were repeatedly ignored.
Laura Collins-Hays, who resigned from her job out of frustration in March 2002, described Bliss -- a former coach at New Mexico -- as an "angry man" and questioned some of the procedures she observed in the basketball office, The Dallas Morning News reported in editions Tuesday.
Bliss resigned Aug. 8 after an internal investigative committee found evidence of NCAA violations, including allegations that he was involved in illicit payments to players. The investigation began after questions were raised following the disappearance of player Patrick Dennehy, who was later found dead.
Collins-Hays told the newspaper checks for a booster club were funneled through the basketball office and she handled calls from a car leasing agency inquiring about player's cars.
She also recounted an incident in the fall 2001 in which she heard Bliss shouting and cursing at a player in his office behind closed doors. She said she later heard loud thumping noise coming from the office.
She said she later told the player, whom she identified as Greg Davis, that he didn't have to take that type of treatment from the coach.
"He said, "Yes I do if I want to keep my scholarship,"' Collins-Hays said.
Collins-Hays said she reported her concerns to Jaffus Hardrick, the university's assistant vice president and director of personnel services.
"I told him what had gone on," she told the newspaper. "He told me, "I've met Coach Bliss. He doesn't act like that. Go back to work."
She said she met twice more with Hardrick and he refused to forward her concerns or her request to meet directly with athletic director Tom Stanton and she resigned.
A message left by The Associated Press for Hardrick was not immediately returned Monday night.
Collins-Hays told the Waco Tribune-Herald for a story in Tuesday editions that she wanted to report possible violations of NCAA rules, including a January 2002 incident in which a live feed of the Kansas State men's practice session in the Baylor basketball arena showed up on a video monitor inside the athletic offices. Baylor won the game later that night, 73-70.
In another incident, Collins-Hays told the Morning News, she was scared when she saw Bliss throw a telephone across his office.
"I was afraid of him," said the Baylor graduate who now works with her husband running two Waco bookstores.
Messages left for Bliss by the AP were not immediately returned.
Collin-Hayes said it was her job to collect checks from members of the Sixth Man Club, an elite level of the FastBreak Club, which is part of the Baylor Bear Foundation, a booster club for Baylor athletics. She said it was Bliss' idea to start the club.
She said members of the Sixth Man Club would bring her personal checks for $1,500 written to the club. She said she thought it was unusual when Bliss would give her checks that had been given directly to him.
She said she would record the checks in a ledger and send them to Doug Smith, executive director of the Bear Foundation. Former assistant coach Brian O'Neill kept track of the club's finances, she said.
O'Neill, who left Baylor after the 2002-2003 season, declined to comment.
Collins-Hays said she thought Baylor officials might have been violating NCAA rules by leasing cars for players. She said a Waco leasing company called the basketball office and wanted the keys to a player's car.
She said at least two players, Wendell Greenleaf and DeMarcus Minor, had a car from the same company, Sinclair Leasing.
The company leased cars to coaches and to some players, Sinclair Leasing owner David Chiles said. He said he hadn't been contacted by the committee that's investigating possible NCAA violations.

Vanguard Sculpture Services
The Main building style is Art Deco, built in 1937 Brick (Masonry and Concrete.) It was renovated in 1955 with the addition of a 2nd floor office. In 2012, the first floor offices were renovated into a 1000 sq. ft. art gallery and showroom. The Crain bay addition was built in 1945. The original building owner was Delia Luitink, vice president of Luitink Manufacturing. The company was founded in 1888 by her husband John Luitink; they manufactured parlor door hangers and metal medicine cabinets. Luitink relocated to Menomonee Falls in 1968. Other previous owners include Vacuum Engineering Corp and Vector Technologies. In 1998, the building was purchased by five artists, and is currently still held by two of the five — Michael P. Nolte and Beth Sahagian Allsopp, who own and operate Vanguard Sculpture Services. Fine art bronze casting and sculpture restoration is the primary business. In 2012, an art gallery was built in part of the original building. The gallery features contemporary art with an emphasis on cast metal sculpture.
Enter through an intimate contemporary art gallery space and view the latest art exhibition, where you can meet and speak with the artists. Enjoy some light refreshments while touring the sculpture production facility. See the latest projects and talk to the workers as they explain the process of casting bronze sculpture.

Boxer that would be the best Bare Knuckle fighter ?

Re: Boxer that would be the best Bare Knuckle fighter ?
Lest we forget that a London Prize Rule bout included wrestling and vicious throws. Many great boxers simply would not be prepared (or able) to continue after an awkward fall. You only need observe Bernard Hopkins writhe about after a breach of the rules to see that deep aversion to foul play. For many, working the referee is their safety net.
With rules that not only allow one to commit things that would get you instantly disqualified today but open the flood gates for another skill set it utterly changes this idea of a 'fight'.
Muhammad Ali may be 6,3, 212lbs, fast, resourceful and in possession of the most impressive resume in heavyweight history, but if Jem Belcher tossed him onto his head, there's a good chance it would be game over before you've decided on salted or dry roasted nuts.

|ThreadPool exceptions from C#
|Tue, 12 Dec 2006 22:22:43 GMT
Has anyone had issues with the following exception when using Queue Listeners from the C# library? "There were not enough free threads in the ThreadPool object to complete the operation." This happens every so often as messages are being processed by my Consumer's Listener event. .NET does seem to recover from this and start running normal again. Luckily I have not yet acknowledged the message so I have not lost the message. Does anyone know the cause of this? Could it be related to the use of ThreadPool in the C# library classes Session.cs and MessageConsumer.cs? Are there any known solutions to this problem? Thanks for any assistance, Jesse -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ThreadPool-exceptions-from-C--tf2810560.html#a7843031 Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

SXSW 2013: A handy Minnesota music guide
The Blind Shake will be one of the hardest working bands at SXSW 2013
Photo By Erik Hess
The South By Southwest Music Conference seems perfectly timed each year with the exact moment when bands and music fans from the North have reached their collective breaking points with the interminable winter months, and communally head down to Austin, Texas in a grand, musical migration.
Despite some compelling, contrary arguments against what SXSW has become, this year should still offer a ton of music with local ties. And for those lucky folks who are heading down to the warmer climes of Texas for the musical chaos that is SXSW, here is a comprehensive list of the Minnesota bands, musicians, and locally assembled showcases --
Update: And now that reportedly includes Prince -- that you can check out while you are down there.

Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries is a vehicle simulation video game for the PC released in 2002 and received favorable reviews from critics.[2] It is a standalone expansion of MechWarrior 4: Vengeance, based on the BattleTech MechWarrior game universe. It was announced on July 9, 2009 that Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries and the Clan and Inner Sphere expansions would be re-released for free.[3][4][5][6] By April 22, 2010 Microsoft had cleared its free release[7] and on April 30, 2010, MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries was released to the general public by MekTek as a free download.[8][9] However, due to the massive influx of 100,000 downloads and web site accesses, MekTek.net and related services crashed.[10][11] MekTek recovered the MekMatch match making service on May 1, 2010 and the forum was restored on May 2, 2010.[12]
In the following years, MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries was no longer available for free. MekTek expressed their intent to move away from the BattleTech franchise,[citation needed] and a new group interested in maintaining free versions appeared but encountered difficulties securing permission to continue offering the game as a free download.[13] However, the game again became available for free through the file hosting service MyAbandonware.
In the game, the player takes the role of Spectre, a mercenary BattleMech pilot travelling inside the fictional interstellar region of the BattleTech universe called the Inner Sphere during the FedCom Civil War (specifically during the time period from January 1, 3066 to late July 3067).
The player's mercenary company initially takes on localized threats in certain planets far from the civil war. As the player's team takes on more missions, the assignments get tougher; at one point, a strike team from Clan Jade Falcon may challenge the player to a duel. The Jade Falcon Star Colonel in charge will join the player's team as a bondsman if the Falcons are defeated in one mission.
Depending on how the player handled allegiance between House Steiner and House Davion, they would end up with one of three mission paths, each with their own ending. All of them are interspersed with a small epilogue that hints at the Word of Blake Jihad, the opening stages of which began a few months after the events of the game.
Davion Ending: The player ends up assisting Peter Steiner-Davion in defeating the Lyran loyalists. The final mission sees Spectre taking part in the assault on the Tharkad palace where Nondi Steiner awaits with her bodyguard lance.
Steiner Ending: By siding with Steiner, Spectre must assist an agent from the Rabid Foxes special operations unit in obtaining information on Katherine "Katrina" Steiner-Davion's whereabouts. Ultimately, Spectre must deliver this information to Khan Vlad of Clan Wolf. Doing this requires Spectre to undergo a Trial of Position where he must defeat five consecutive Clan Mechwarriors in the planet Carse to finally join Clan Wolf.
Rogue Ending: This ending is actually an offshoot of the Steiner ending. Prior to the final mission, Spectre's tactical officer, Castle, pleads the case for abandoning Katrina Steiner and the losing side of the war. On her recommendation, an alternative opens up. Instead of undergoing the Trial of Position, Spectre elects to take a contract on New Canton to defend a base under attack by the Capellan Confederation. Success results in Spectre's unit taking the base for themselves.
The player is a pilot of a BattleMech or 'Mech, the iconic war machines in the BattleTech universe. Mercenaries has the player piloting a 'Mech and running a mercenary company at the same time. The company is sponsored by one of four mercenary outfits in the BattleTech universe—the Kell Hounds, Gray Death Legion, Northwind Highlanders, and Wolf's Dragoons. Each faction has their own special attributes, such as the Wolf's Dragoons being equipped with 'Mechs that have Clan technology.
In the campaign, the player controls up to two full four-man squads called lances. The other squad members can be issued commands such as attack or power down. The larger squad sizes allowed for larger battles, a unique addition to this iteration of the classic videogame franchise.
Missions are played in various environments, from deserts to urban areas. Completing them plus special objectives helps the player earn more money to buy weapons and 'Mechs for his unit. The resource management extends to maintaining the 'Mechs and hiring new pilots with the requisite salaries. The game time will be measured in weeks.
The player has some control over which missions to accept and in what order. In addition, how each mission is performed affects the timeline, and the player's reputation is measured in terms of Nobility or Infamy points. For example, killing civilians and neutral targets results in infamy points, which in high numbers can limit the player to brutal and "unethical" missions. Also, the player must choose between loyalty to House Steiner or House Davion. This is important as allegiance will eventually affect available contracts and even influence the ending of the game.
The game offers options to toggle unlimited ammunition and no heat buildup. In the 'Mech customization menu, the mercenary company's available Mechs can be upgraded with new weapons or equipment such as antimissile systems, extra armor, heatsinks, or ECM jammer pods. The configurations of each 'Mech can limit what weapons can be equipped, with penalties on weight by the ton and heat levels. Since 'Mechs tend to overheat (mostly if hit by heat-based weapons or by having insufficient heatsinks), the player has to equip a combination of high-heat energy weapons and low-heat-but-high-weight ballistic and missile weapons, which use up ammo, unlike energy weapons. It is possible for entire limbs to be blown off a 'Mech, resulting in loss of weapons or reduced movement. Destruction of the center torso or cockpit of each 'Mech, or destroying both legs, will result in the instant destruction of that 'Mech.
The Arena matches, which take place in the gaming planet of Solaris, has the player-character competing with a variety of enemy 'Mech pilots in "last-man standing" combat. If all other enemy 'Mechs are destroyed, the player wins the match and is rewarded money. Many of the opposing pilots have names and backstories, which are revealed by the arena announcer who provides constant real-time commentary on the matches. Arena battles are divided into four weight classes and take place in several different arenas. If the player wins all of the matches in each weight class, he or she advances to the championship round, which is open to all weight classes. Competing in them can boost the player's reputation.

Insights and information for online capital formation
July 20, 2016 by Andrew Stephenson
Many small companies considering undertaking an offering under Tier 2 of Regulation A may find it advantageous to conduct their offering without the use of a registered broker-dealer. Perhaps they have a core base of supporters that would be interested in investing, or they have the ability to undertake their own online, and offline, marketing campaign to get investor interest. However, one potential pitfall of this strategy is that a handful of states require the company to register with the state as an issuer-dealer — essentially the company itself must be registered like a broker-dealer in the state. CrowdCheck has put together a helpful summary of the...

After extensive time spent reviewing the communication rules under Regulation CF and their interplay with other securities laws, as well as consulting with the SEC, CrowdCheck has released its comprehensive memo on communications and publicity by issuers prior to and during a Regulation CF offering. The communication rules for Regulation CF differ substantially from corresponding communication rules for offerings under Regulation A and Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, and from IPOs. We hope this memo will bring some clarity to the communications rules for platforms and issuers.

As we have previously discussed, the Regulation CF disclosure requirement for the financial condition of the issuer has the potential to get inexperienced companies in trouble. It is in this section of the disclosure that optimistic entrepreneurs may provide misleading information by not providing the full details of performance measurements, or by not including information on the assumptions underlying any financial projections. Such statements may be misleading in their own right, or may omit information necessary to make the provided information not misleading – also known as securities fraud (see paragraph (c)). As we have also previously discussed,...

Being in the crowdfunding space, my Twitter feed regularly fills up with "how-to" information on promoting crowdfunding campaigns, and who to hire for their experience running social media campaigns. While these outfits may know what they are doing when it comes to donation/rewards crowdfunding, much of what they offer is not compliant with Regulation CF. Social media campaigns and promoting the offering are very important for a successful raise under Regulation CF, but there are strict rules about what can be said and issuers need to be careful to not turn their entire website into an offer of securities. The underlying rationale for the advertising rules...

With one week to go we are hearing that a number of companies are realizing their financial statements are not going to be reviewed in time by their accountants. But they really want to launch on May 16! So they are planning to file on Form C for amounts less than $100,000 and "certifying" the financials, with a view to filing an amendment later. Think about this carefully before you do it. The financial statements (for any level of raise) are required to be prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), reflecting all the requirements of GAAP with respect to revenue recognition, capitalization or expensing, and all that other...

One of the best practices that has developed in the realm of donation/reward crowdfunding is to provide regular updates to campaign backers over email in addition to publishing them on the crowdfunding platform. These updates are important — they keep backers informed about the status of the campaign, and provide information about company events relevant to the success of the idea. When it comes to Regulation CF, however, this practice can't be adopted for equity backers (otherwise known as investors) in exactly the same manner as for donation/reward crowdfunding. Title III of the JOBS Act is not very friendly to communications being made by individual issuers...

With all the work that surrounds preparing to file with the SEC (whether you are making a Regulation A or a Regulation CF filing) it can be easy to overlook one of the simplest things you need in order to file. A CIK code is your company's distinct fingerprint on the SEC's filing site EDGAR, and it will be the public number used to track your filings. You or a filing agent will need to use your CIK code to log into the EDGAR system from your first to final filing and any amendments and correspondence that come in between. This is also where your company's basic information that is presented to the public, such as your primary address, FEIN and telephone number...

Four weeks out from Regulation CF's go-live date, and journalists, researchers, bloggers and anyone with access to the internet (including my cat) are asking small companies to comment on their plans to raise money under Regulation CF ("Title III"). Please quit. Y'all are getting CrowdCheck's clients into trouble. For the third time in the last couple of days, I've seen an article or blog post in which a company that we are working with is asked to comment about their plans to raise money under Reg CF. These companies, being (a) super-enthused about crowdfunding and the ability to give their friends and fans the ability to share in any future success and (b)...

We're 4 weeks out from Regulation CF (Title III of the JOBS Act) going live. This is exciting, right? Are you going to be one of the first companies filing a Form C? If you haven't got your financial statements sorted out yet, you probably aren't. Any company looking to raise more than $100,000 must have their financial statements reviewed by a CPA. You'll need a balance sheet, profit and loss statement and cashflow statement covering 2014 and 2015 (or a shorter period if you haven't existed that long) and they have to comply with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). GAAP requires that your financial statements be prepared on an accrual, not a cash...

Regulation Crowdfunding becomes effective on May 16 of this year. What can you say now about your crowdfunding campaign that you plan to launch on May 16? Nothing. Not a word. Otherwise, you blow your exemption from registration and may no longer be eligible to use Reg CF. Recall, Reg CF is an exemption from registration of securities. Any offer of securities must be registered or exempt. Reg CF is not effective until May 16. So any communication about your offering made before you file your Form C on May 16 is an offer of securities that does not meet the requirements for any available exemption. This could result in a violation of Section 5 of the Securities...

I've looked through everything I can find in the forum (and in Utube) about changing my title to a logo, and although there are answers, none of the CSS in them, seems to bear any resemblance to that of the 'Spotless' theme that I am using.
Yesterday I tried using a plugin called Login Logo Change but despite following the steps very carefully, it doesn't work - perhaps because the theme is old - rather like me! (BTW it's still activated)
I think the code in the site http://www.georgemunday/renaissance will be visible in Firebug, but I can upload any code required if someone is able to help and can tell me which is needed..
I've been trying to do this since Saturday night, so I hope someone can help. Thank you in advance....George

Treasury to Remain Depressed
They're canceling their humor workshop because people made fun of them. That's the spirit.
While the rest of the country is showing signs of coming out of the Greatest Depression, the people at the Treasury's Public Debt department are doomed to remain depressed. We just got the following statement from the Treasury, announcing that they are canceling the Humor in the Office workshop that we reported they were seeking a leader for earlier today. Sayeth the spokeswoman:
A recent procurement request for information (RFI) seeking a training consultant to aid managers has been canceled. The RFI did not represent an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars, and we regret the early steps taken on this effort.
Wait, really? That's so ... sad to just give up like that.
Was this because people were making fun of them on the Internet? Don't they have a sense of humor over there? Oh. Right.
The AP fingers Senator Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D, as the man who broke Geithner's et als' spirit: "Of all the agencies, the Bureau of Public Debt should know that there is very little that is funny about today's economic conditions," he said in a statement today, even though, duh. That is the point. But whatever. Look at him, left. Dude wouldn't know Fun if it came up and yanked off his toupee.

The lighter a tablet is, the more likely you'll bring it along as you go about your daily activities. Unfortunately for Amazon, Google's Nexus 7 is the bantamweight champ, weighing just 12 ounces (0.75 pounds)--that's about 2.5 ounces less than the Kindle Fire. The next-gen Fire is rumored to be slimmer and lighter than its predecessor though, so the Nexus 7's weight advantage may not last long.
