Q: What's your opinion on why WoW is so much more exponentially successful than so many other MMOs who are quite similar?
A: Polish. WoW took the time to finish so many things. It's the Blizzard effect - they do it in every game, and combining that with an MMO, it hit one out of the ball park. MMOs prior to WoW cut corners everywhere because developing an MMO is so expensive, in terms of cost, manpower and time, that people thought you had to. Now, well, the game's been changed. For the better, I think.
Q: This is really just an opinion question here, but do you think its possible to create an MMO that is fair to everyone?
A: Sure. Everyone has 1 HP and does 2 points of damage a swing. The question is, would you WANT to play it? Homogeneity does not guarantee fun.
Q: How much time a week do you spend developing in your uber secret project, and how much do you spend actually playing MMOs, if any?
A: Well obviously my UberSpecialSecretProject is a full time job for me and others. I spend most of my day furiously typing crack addled ideas into a wiki where others can freely annotate their mocking commentary.
As for playing MMOs, I still do, usually about 4-6 hours during the week (not per night, the whole week) and maybe a marathon 8 hour session during the weekend or something. I bounce back and forth between City of Villains, WoW and DAOC (where I'm currently a member in expired standing of the local Goon Squad!)
Q: What is your favorite class in any game? in DaoC?
A: I like pet classes. I play bonedancers in DAoC, masterminds in CoV, warlocks in WoW. I like having minions do my bidding.
Q: What is the craziest idea you've heard for a game element/race/class/raid zone etc.?
A: Anything involving permadeath.
Q: Anyway, a question: What percentage of MMOG developers do you think are actually avid MMOG players? Do a lot of game developers or people who otherwise work on games just not play games much?
A: Quite a few are, because game devs are geeks and freaks just like everyone else on teh Intarweb. Quite a few don't, because to them it's just their job, and others don't because they've worked on the game for years, know all its secrets because they wrote many of them, and the last thing they want to do when they get home is look at something work related.
Q: Do employees add currency or items to the games and pose as Chinese farmers on ebay to create more revenue?
A: Absolutely not. They'd get caught and fired, or worse, caught by the players and the players would quit as a result of the ensuing scandal. There are multiple safeguards and monitors set up to prevent those sorts of shenanigans.
Most MMO companies have Acceptable Use Policies which control what you can and can't do on live servers. For example, at NCsoft, I can't tell anyone in-game that I work for NCsoft, I can't tell anyone anything I may have picked up at work about the game, I can't call up anyone's account information unless it's strictly required for work, and I can never log into a live server with more access then your average player has.
MMO companies make a bunch more money running a straight up business above board then they would funnelling fake money through fake Chinese farmers. Sadly the Chinese farmers you see in game are all too real.
Q: That's another thing you mentioned on your blog. Do Chinese players have a different playstyle than North Americans? Do you believe most of them sell gold or are legitimate players?
A: Chinese players do play differently from NA players. NA players usually play from home, pay by the month, and talk to their friends via Ventrilo/TS. Chinese players usually hang out in Internet cafes, pay by the hour, and hang out with all their friends in the cafe itself. This changes the way games are played. For example Korean MMOs (which until recently were also all played in cafes... Koreans all have broadband at home now and tend to play from home like Westerners do) used to all have to be played one-handed, because in a Korean baang (Internet cafe) the player would control the game with one hand and smoke like a chimney with the other. If all your friends are in the PC room with you, you don't care as much about personalization because you know what Cho looks like, he's right there. You don't really care about chat channels and the like because again, Cho is right there.
None of this has a lot to do with farmers. Farmers do not see MMOs as games, but as resources to be mined. So game playstyles simply don't apply. If there's an exploit, they'll do it. If you want a kick, go into WoW, and do a /who Azshara for level 1s. Those are Chinese farmers using speedhacks to skip between chests. Azshara in WoW is pretty much all farmers all the time now. And Blizzard does by far the most of any MMO company to fight off the farmers.
Chinese WoW players have their own servers in China, which are a LOT cheaper to play on. If you see someone Chinese in WoW on a US server, it's because they know someone here, because they're perturbed that Burning Crusade hasn't come out in China yet, or because they're a gold farmer. Guess which one is the most common.
Given our society's obsession with stalking and ridiculing celebrities, it's tempting to seek a life of anonymity. But beware: not being famous has its own hidden costs.
Mass Effect: Andromeda turns its nose up at the original trilogy's rigid morality. It boasts a more nuanced and intellectually compelling shades-of-grey approach in which a heart icon pops up when it's time to tell an alien to take their clothes off.
I mean, they're not that bad. "Substandard" vending machines.

The invention relates to a television camera comprising an objective, a pick-up tube and a device for adjusting a distance between the objective and the pick-up tube, the said device comprising a displacement mechanism, including a return mechanism, for the longitudinal displacement of the pick-up tube.
It is known to adjust the position of the objective with respect to the target of the pick-up tube in television cameras by screwing an objective holder until an optimum focussed image is obtained. The devices used consists of a threaded holder wherein the objective is mounted. The threaded holder usually comprises a blocking member, for example, in the form of an adjusting screw.
An adjustment problem occurs if the objective comprises a reflex view-finder which does not permit the rotation of the objective. In that case mechanical "pre-positioning" must be performed, and the adjustment must be completed by a very restricted rotation of the objective. This final adjustment preferably does not amount to more than one-eighth revolution of the objective and is smaller as the distance between the viewfinder and the housing of the camera is smaller.
The invention has for its object to facilitate this adjustment by utilising a rigidly arranged objective and an axially displaceable pick-up tube.
A device for adjusting the distance between the objective and the pick-up tube in a television camera of the kind set forth according to the invention is characterized in that the displacement mechanism comprises a fixed ring which at least partly enclosed the pick-up tube, an abutment piece and an adjusting member, the abutment piece being arranged between the said adjusting member and the pick-up tube, the return mechanism comprising a resilient member which is arranged between the rigidly arranged objective and the movably arranged pick-up tube.
The return mechanism is mounted in a tubular element, the ends of which cooperate with circular edges formed on the objective holder and on the window of the pick-up tube. The movable mechanism comprises retaining means which, in a preferred embodiment, include a ring which grips the edge of the objective and/or of the tube.
The length of the return mechanism in the rest position is slightly larger than the final adjusting distance between the objective and the window of the pick-up tube.
The abutment piece is a component which can be secured, for example, to the pumping stem of the pick-up tube.
The tubular resilient element is made of plastic material.
The invention will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the drawing.
FIG. 1 is a partial sectional view of a television camera comprising the device in accordance with the invention.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show embodiments of resilient members for an adjusting mechanism in accordance with the invention.
A television camera as shown in FIG. 1, comprises a housing 1 which accommodates electronic circuits for operating a pick-up tube 2 and for the output of image signals. The housing 1 has connected to it an objective 3 and a reflex view finder 4. The objective comprises a diaphragm 5. The housing furthermore comprises a grip 6 which also serves for the passage of connection cables. The adjusting mechanism for the longitudinal displacement of the pick-up tube comprises a ring 7 wherein at least part of the pick-up tube is slid. This ring is fixed with respect to the camera housing by a supporting member 8 which is secured to the chassis of the housing, for example, by transverse connections 9. A displacement member 10, in this case consisting of a screw which cooperates with a nut or a thread in the chassis, enables displacement of the pick-up tube in the longitudinal direction via an abutment piece 11. For accurate adjustment, it is necessary that the pick-up tube can remain in permanent contact with the displacement member; to this end, a return mechanism 12 is arranged between the pick-up tube 2 and the objective 3 or an element which forms part of the objective and which occupies a fixed position with respect thereto in the longitudinal direction such as, for example, the diaphragm 5. In this preferred embodiment the return mechanism comprises a cylindrical resilient member.
In a further preferred embodiment, the cylindrical component has a thin or corrugated wall which enables deformation in the longitudinal direction. On its end this member can comprise portions having a larger thickness, so that the support by the round edges of the objective and the tube is enhanced. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a preferred embodiment of such a cylindrical member, consisting of two portions, one of which is conical and fits, for example, on an objective having a diameter which is smaller than that of the window of the tube and which is contacted by a substantially cylindrical second portion 14. The tubular member is provided on its outer surface with a ring 15 whereto a supporting member can be coupled which is secured either to the tube or to the objective. Due to the use of such a tubular member, decentring during assembly, when no pressure is yet exerted, is avoided.
FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of a retaining means. A ring 16, arranged on an end of a resilient cylinder, has an inner diameter which is adapted to the pick-up tube 2 or to that of a ring of the objective holder. A broken line indicates that the resilient cylinder can also have a conical shape. The cylinder can also be of a double construction, a conical or non-conical cylinder then being situated one on each side of the ring.
The resilient member is preferably of a plastic material by moulding.
The abutment piece 11 (FIG. 1) is formed by a component of plastic material which is connected to the pumping stem of the pick-up tube or which is secured on the jacket of the pick-up tube.
The adjusting device is mounted, for example, as follows: a tubular member is secured against the objective, is arranged on the end of the pick-up tube or is accommodated in the supporting member, after which the pick-up tube is slid into the ring of the supporting member of the pick-up tube and is so pressed that the resilient member presses against the window as well as against the objective; subsequently, the abutment piece is positioned and is clamped lightly against the tube by the screw. The length of the resilient member is chosen such that adjustment is possible over a distance which is smaller than this length. The distance between the window and the target of the pick-up tube is rather exactly defined, which enables determination of the maximum length of the resilient member.
Adjustment is effected by tightening the screw, thus compressing the resilient member; when the adjusting point has been passed, the resilient member will tend to retain the original height when the screw is turned in the opposite direction, thus pushing back the pick-up tube, the pick-up tube, the abutment piece and the displacement member then constantly being maintained on contact with each other. Blocking is effected in known manner, for example, by the clamping of a ring or by blocking by means of a screw. The resilient member offers the additional advantage that it constitutes a dust-tight chamber between objective and window of the pick-up tube.

Sir: The announcement that the prison service is to cut the number of prison officers by almost 3,000 will have a profound effect on control inside our penal system, but a more effective solution to the problem of overstaffing is available.
The working practices of the English prison service have long since been the dictate of the Prison Officers Association. Despite the fact that less than 20 per cent of prison officers actually work with prisoners in the cell blocks, all officers earn exactly the same amount (circa pounds 18,000), dependent not so much on their responsibility as length of service. Paying for all these officers, when only a small proportion actually do the essential work, is at the root of the massive problem of staffing costs.
A year ago the Scottish Prison Service tackled this problem by introducing a radical restructuring that placed prison officers into one of five pay bands: those in the cell blocks who took the most risks received the most money, while those, for example, who manned the prison gate received a lesser amount - meaning a pounds 5,000 per annum cut in pay.
Had Michael Howard adopted this approach, there would be no need for these inept cuts in prison staff.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Leech

Every now and then a headline comes across the transom that makes you go hmmmm. Randy Quaid's latest news is certainly one of them. Randy and his wife, Evi, each posted $20,000 bail on Thursday after they each spent a few hours in prison.
While Randy remained in custody during the quick trip to the bank, he was not handcuffed and apparently did not receive special treatment in the small town.
Here's the scoop: in a local hotel in Santa Barbara, California, the couple had not paid a hotel bill in early September which cashed in at upwards of $10,000. A felony warrant was out on them for burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy.
The case was initially filed with the district attorney and detectives hadn't spoken with Quaid yet so they were unable to release additional details.
You can guess what happened next: the couple was spotted in Texas and were promptly arrested after a deputy saw them. The sheriff noted that Evi resisted and then reportedly calmed down.
You may recall Randy won a Golden Globe award and was also nominated for an Emmy for his role of President Lyndon Johnson in LBJ: The Early Years. He's also famous for his roles in National Lampoon's Vacation flicks, Independence Day and Kingpin.

Our Theatre
above: The Alafi Auditorium during the 2014 production of David Mamet's American Buffalo. Photo by David Allen.
Aurora Theatre Company is an exciting and invaluable addition to the burgeoning Downtown Berkeley Arts District. For over ten years, Aurora Theatre Company has proven itself as a prominent producer of theatre in the Bay Area.
Without sacrificing any of the intimacy or high standards of acting and directing that made Aurora Theatre Company what it is today, our theatre provides better amenities, more comfortable seats and a modern style to our loyal patrons who have kept coming back for years.
Aurora Theatre Company's mainstage, the 150-seat Alafi Auditorium, is a great place to experience live theatre. The audience sits on three sides of a deep-thrust stage with no person sitting further than 15 feet away from the performance.
Backstage, actors have access to comfortable dressing rooms and a green room. Designers have a workshop and greatly increased flexibility in set, sound and light design (for example: the old theatre had 12 lighting instruments - now our mainstage theatre can have up to 90!), staff has new administrative offices, and everyone enjoys a larger and friendlier lobby and restroom facilities. Aurora Theatre Company is wheelchair accessible, and assisted-listening devices are available for the hearing-impaired. And our new black box theatre in the Dashow Wing, Harry's UpStage, provides an even more intimate setting with seating for 50.
Located in the heart of the Downtown Arts District, the Theatre is very accessible. Aurora Theatre Company is located at 2081 Addison Street, between Berkeley Repertory Theatre and The Jazz School. The Berkeley BART station is only a few steps from our front door, and nearby parking. We are also within easy walking distance of Berkeley's best restaurants.

William Loeb III
William "Bill" Loeb III (December 26, 1905 – September 14, 1981), was publisher of the Manchester Union Leader newspaper (later The New Hampshire Union Leader) in Manchester, New Hampshire, for thirty-five years from 1946 until his death. His unyieldingly conservative political views helped to make The Union Leader one of the best-known small papers in the country. The publication benefited from nationwide attention every four years during the New Hampshire primary.
Early years[edit]
Loeb was born to William Loeb, Jr. (1866–1937), and Catharine (sometimes "Katherine") Dorr on December 26, 1905.
His father was executive secretary to Theodore Roosevelt, and a nationally known figure in his own day. Loeb's grandfather was William Loeb, I, a German immigrant of Jewish descent.[citation needed] Loeb's siblings were Louisa Loeb-Neudorf, Amelia Olive Loeb and Lillian May Loeb.[1]
Young Loeb attended The Hotchkiss School and Williams College, and soon met and married Elizabeth Nagy, a faculty member at nearby Smith College. They were married on May 29, 1926. Nagy was eight years older than Loeb, and his parents objected to the matrimony. Loeb's father excluded him from his will in light of the marriage.[1] The couple divorced six years later on October 11, 1932, and Loeb received alimony from Nagy for several years. Later in his life, Loeb made efforts to hide the marriage, and records of the divorce (Loeb v. Loeb F-3144) were found missing at the time they were to be archived on microfiche.[1]
Loeb partnered with his friend Charlie Weaver to buy the St. Albans Messenger in St. Albans, Vermont, in 1941 to enter the publishing arena. Loeb also received cash investments from a woman named Marka Loening, who indulged in an extramarital affair with Loeb while waiting for her divorce from her estranged husband to be finalized.[1] Loeb later used funding from Loening to buy the Burlington Daily News in 1942. One of Loeb's first infamous journalistic exploits was the publishing of his own baptismal certificate on the front page of both Vermont papers in an attempt to disprove rumors of his Jewish ancestry.[1]
Loeb cited ulcers for his medical exemption from service during World War II, allegedly drinking large quantities of alcohol before doctor's visits to ensure flare-ups.[1]
In 1946, Loeb secured funding from Ridder Publications to buy the Manchester Union and the Evening Leader from Annie Reid Knox, the widow of former Navy Secretary William Franklin Knox. Mrs. Knox later regretted the sale, claiming she had not seen how Loeb handled his Vermont newspapers, and claiming that Loeb did not mention the involvement of the Ridder family.[1] Loeb used $250,000 in funding from his mother's accounts to fund the purchase of his share in the papers, and in 1948 used an additional $300,000 to buy out other shareholders and gain complete control of the papers, which he then merged into the Union Leader.[1]
In 1947, Loeb brought in investor Leonard Finder as a business partner in the paper. Marka Loening, increasingly resentful of the presence of Scripps-Howard heiress Elizabeth "Nackey" Scripps-Gallowhur in the newspaper offices, withdrew her interests in Loeb's papers that same year.[1] Loeb's mother had been under the impression that he and Loening were to be married, but discovered upon Loening's departure that Loeb had been secretly married to Vermont resident Eleanore McAllister since 1942. Afterwards, Loeb publicly disclosed the marriage in his papers, but claimed it had taken place in 1947 and not 1942.[1]
Meanwhile, new competition emerged in Manchester with the return of Bernard J. "B.J." McQuaid, a former Manchester Union reporter under the tenure of Colonel Knox, from military service in Europe. McQuaid founded a rival paper, The New Hampshire Sunday News, with his brother, Elias. Loeb quickly wooed Bernard McQuaid over to the Union Leader, and bought the Sunday News outright in 1948. With no other statewide media (radio signals being blocked by mountains, and other papers only local to their towns), Loeb essentially gained a media monopoly in the state for himself.[1] He tried, but failed, to win the license for the only television station licensed in the state, WMUR-TV.
Loeb's wife McAllister gave birth to a daughter, Katharine Penelope, on October 29, 1948.
In 1949, Loeb used the additional $300,000 from his mother and cash from various state politicians he endorsed to buy out Leonard Finder. Also in 1949, Loeb founded the Vermont Sunday News, largely a copy of the New Hampshire edition's content.[1]
On August 5, 1949, Loeb took Nackey Gallowhur to meet his mother in New York City. There, George Gallowhur, Nackey's husband, attempted to serve her divorce papers. Loeb refused to permit Gallowhur's agents from serving her, and he was jailed briefly for interfering.[1] Gallowhur sued Loeb for alienation of affection in accordance with an old Vermont law. Mrs. Loeb, infuriated at her son's mistreatment of Eleanore, excluded Bill from her will and sued him for the one million dollars in funding he obtained from her to finance his acquisitions of the Union Leader in 1946 and 1949.[1]
Later life[edit]
Loeb continued to see Nackey. In 1949, he fired the print staff at his Vermont newspapers when they attempted to unionize. Nackey was initially placed in charge of printing, but the couple left the state in 1952 in the wake of his mother's lawsuit, and moved to Reno, Nevada, where Loeb sued for divorce from McAllister and then married Nackey Gallowhur.[1] The Vermont papers flailed in the absence of Loeb's attention, and also suffered from negative reader and advertiser reaction to his opinionated absentee editorials. The Daily News ceased operations in 1959. Loeb did not visit the St. Albans paper offices again until 1973.[1]
In 1950, Loeb repeated his baptismal certificate stunt, this time on the Union Leader front page. He again hoped to dispel gossip about his Jewish heritage, this time in the wake of controversy surrounding his political endorsements.[1]
Loeb moved to Pride's Crossing outside Beverly, Massachusetts, in 1955 to be closer to his New England newspaper operations. In 1957, he attempted to launch a paper in nearby Haverhill, the Haverhill Journal, but the publication proved to be a drain on the staff and presses shared with his other newspapers.[1] The Journal folded in 1965, and Loeb blamed union activity for the closure.[1] During a newspaper strike in Boston, he imported copies of the Union Leader into the city, but stopped after incorrect sports information in the publication led to threats from figures in the city's crime world. Loeb purchased the rights to the Connecticut Sunday Herald name (but not its presses), and relaunched it from Bridgeport, Connecticut, but once again his editorial stances alienated readers, and the paper closed.[1]
Loeb's mother, Katherine Dorr-Loeb, died on November 24, 1968. Her will acknowledged Loeb's siblings, ex-wife Eleanore McAllister, and his daughter Katharine Penelope, but left him nothing. He filed suit, beginning a five-year legal battle that lasted through 1973 and rose to the Vermont Supreme Court, claiming that he had reconciled with his mother and that she had promised him 75 percent of her estate. He settled for less than 10 percent, after her estate had been drained of the bulk of its funds through his legal maneuvering.[1] Loeb separated himself from Eleanore and Katharine Penelope. When his daughter suffered a near-fatal injury in an equestrian accident the next year and lost a kidney, Loeb refused to speak to her.[1]
Loeb's journalism résumé was the subject of skepticism in 1974, when he claimed in a front-page editorial to have worked for the Hearst conglomerate, as a reporter for the New York World for eight years before buying his St. Albans paper. Hearst Corporation denied he had ever been employed there, and the World had actually ceased operations eight years before Loeb said he had started work there. Toledo Blade chairman Paul Block, Jr. also denied ever seeing Loeb on the assignments he claimed to have worked.[1]
William Loeb died in 1981 and left control of the Union Leader to his wife, Nackey. She suffered partial paralysis in a 1977 automobile accident, but continued to publish the paper until her death in 2000, when control fell to Bernard McQuaid's son, Joseph McQuaid. The Union Leader now operates several weekly community papers under the Neighborhood News, Inc. name in southern New Hampshire, the New Hampshire Mirror, a biweekly women's magazine, and the NewHampshire.Com website.
Loeb is best known for his unyielding conservatism. The Union Leader already tilted Republican editorially when he bought it, but veered sharply to the right after his purchase. Since then, the paper has been one of the most conservative newspapers in the nation.
Loeb is best remembered nationally for his alleged role in attacking Edmund Muskie through The Union Leader in what is known locally as the Canuck letter, derailing the Maine senator's 1972 presidential bid. Loeb is said to have helped in the forgery and publication of the letter in the paper's op-ed section. The letter slandered French-Canadians, and implied Muskie was prejudiced against them. Muskie's emotional defense of himself in front of the Union Leader offices in Manchester was seen as a sign of weakness and instability. Muskie later claimed that there were not tears in his eyes, as many papers reported, but rather snowflakes (as it had been snowing that evening).
Loeb also gained infamy in the 1970s for attacking then-governor Walter R. Peterson, Jr.'s teenage daughter for allegedly advocating the use of marijuana. She suffered an emotional breakdown as a result of the stress and public scrutiny thrust upon her in the wake of the allegations.[2] Loeb was instrumental in the victory of Meldrim Thomson, Jr., in the next gubernatorial election, and remained a political ally of Thomson's until Loeb's death.
William and Nackey had one daughter, Edith Roosevelt Loeb-Tomasko.[3] Nackey and George Gallowhur had a daughter from their marriage, Nackey E. Gallowhur-Scagliotti.[4] Both daughters operate the Nackey S. Loeb School of Communications.
Author Kevin Cash published a biography of Loeb entitled Who the Hell IS William Loeb? in 1975. Loeb's legal threats forced Cash to create his own publishing company, incorporated in Delaware, out of Loeb's reach. After four New Hampshire publishers balked at printing it, Cash had the book printed in Vermont.[2]
In New Hampshire, his major legacy is an anti-tax pledge that has been taken not only by all Republicans seeking gubernatorial nomination, but all Democrats who have successfully been elected.
Loeb did not hesitate to castigate fellow Republicans, once writing: "This newspaper now solemnly charges that President Eisenhower has done more to destroy the respect, honor and power of the United States than any President in its history." (Editorial, "Prince Of Appeasement," June 23, 1955, referring to the Austrian Treaty that allowed the Soviet Union to continue influence over Austria.) Loeb also stood alone among conservatives in his staunch support for Jimmy Hoffa, despite otherwise being a foe of labor.

Monday, February 16, 1998 Published at 09:05 GMT Special Report Military cities on the sea The flight deck of the USS George Washington covers 4.5 acres.
It was President Gerald Ford who said aircraft carriers were "a solid symbol of United States strength". Wherever they went, he added, they would "command awe and admiration from some, caution and circumspection from others, and respect from all."
And that is the point about aircraft carriers, especially the massive floating military cities now deployed in the Gulf: when you go to sea, everyone knows you mean business.
Iraq faces the formidable sight of one nuclear-class carrier, the George Washington, and the slightly smaller USS Independence.
Giants in the water
These mobile airfields - the deck on Washington covers 4.5 acres - are sailing as little as a 100 miles south of the Iraqi coast.
With more than 140 aircraft between them, they are an indispensable part of the military effort, especially since most Arab states refuse to let American jets take off from their soil.
The Washington has four, measuring almost 4,000 square feet. The jets can perform a number of roles. Some are used to bomb targets. Others are used to provide air support such as the early warning and electronic interference aircraft.
Life at sea
The ships clearly have a lethal presence in the Gulf, but it is also their sheer size which makes them so awesome. The 95,000-ton Washington has about 5,500 crewmen and women. They all need to be fed and cared for.
The ship will spend in the region of $1.3 million a month of food. On Thanksgiving Day last year it got through 2,800lbs of turkey and 160 gallons of gravy in a single day.
A nuclear-class carrier has over 2,500 compartments requiring 2,520 tons of air conditioning capacity. That would be enough to cool over 2,000 homes.
Its dental clinics will see 500 patients a month and do about 50 tooth extractions. Everything is designed so that the carrier can stay at sea for long periods.
"We can sustain a significant military effort," Washington's commanding officer, Captain Lindell Rutherford said. "We can sustain a campaign up to six months if necessary."

Played Allied Assault a lot last year - haven't played it so much this year, to be honest but I was thinking about it last night and I might start playing Spearhead online again in the next week or so because it's actually a really great game online. I used to play on the Barrysworld servers (now rebranded to GAME.net) - they had an excellent Allied Assault server that ran the 'realism' mod with objective based maps. It was kinda like playing counterstrike in terms of team-play and objectives but it was REALLY easy to die because you move so much slower in MoH online. Not sure if people still play there anymore as GAME.net servers are generally pretty empty these days. Blueyonder might be a good bet if your looking, though. The one thing I really like about MoH online over nearly all other fps's is you don't run at lightning speeds and can't jump 10 feet in the air onto boxes and the like - you have to be really careful, because one well placed sniper can devastate an unprepared team in under a minute. Some people compalin that the feel of the game online is just too slow and 'laggy', but iyou just need to be prepared to play a little more thoughtfully than in other games. Return to Castle Wolfenstein (and Enemy Territory), Battlefield 1942, Day of Defeat, Counterstrike, Unreal Tournament 2003 - they're all great fun, don't get me wrong, but none of them share the same feeling of MoH online. I've dabbled quite a bit in all of the above games, but I'm deffinately ready to go back to Omaha Beach for a few rounds
Well... at least that's one person I "may" "bump" into at some point... Hehe! I haven't had a chance to get "online" as of yet but I intend to at some point or another within the next few days... It would be kinda fun to get an "AVF team" playing (Is that even possible?) That was my initial thought on posting anyway... K.
Kelvin Excellent online gaming. There must be a few more closet online Mohaa players around the forums , guesse their just not willing to rally to the colours at the moment. So I'll admit to playing Mohaa, Spearhead and Breakthrough, probably more than I should. So if you go online and "bump" into titanWaRRioR say hi. sapperjohn
I love moh online, it's the only one iv'e really played though and i don't rate the new maps on the breakthrough either but i find the pace spot on, tried rainbow 6 ravenshield which was good but prefered moh, Call of duty is out soon which is made by the origional moh team so it should be good, I normally snipe on MOH and is a good laugh, Evens up the ping dissadvantage imo but getting broad band soon so should be intresting. I play as scooby snack if youre ever on
I am also a closet AAMOH player, have spearhead and the latest one as well. I tend to be a sniper on the less populated boxes, get killed too much trying to get into position if you have 20 people with SMG's running about. Saying that, I like playing the objective maps with loads of people, I really like the Omaha beach Obj map, I hang around the landing boats picking off anyone who appears on top of the hill. My moniker is also Sleepy. I connect via gamespy, anyone else use it?
I used to play it quite a lot, but recently bought BF1942 which I find MUCH better on-line. I know dbrad still plays it a lot

The Tipping List
Tips for Family Car Trips
The road to summer fun
-Sarah Lemanczyk
If you've ever driven 1,800 miles to Florida in a Chevette with four people, a jumbo red Coleman cooler, a canvas tent and you're me, then you too probably angered your father to the point where he shoved a McDonald's soft serve cone straight from the drive-thru window into the ashtray to prove a point.
But if you're not me, and you're a bit apprehensive about loading the kids in the car for days at a time – rest assured it can be done, with a minimum of physical and emotional clean-up.
I have three kids now ages 6, 4 and 20 months – I've driven them across country and back; I've done it pregnant with a toddler in tow, with two in tow, with just a baby and the classic cross-country move while pregnant in a U-Haul. In tandem with my obvious cheapness, I genuinely love a good drive. The highway, the mileage signs, that first coffee of the morning from some out-of-state gas station chain . . . I grew up in the car – driving a couple hundred miles most weekends to see my grandparents and countless family pilgrimages to historical sites and Disney World. My own children are the current victims of this familial road-lust, and I drive them thousands of miles each summer. If you've never had your tots in the car for more than a jaunt to Ikea, you may have to build up to 800 miles a day. But you're stronger than you think.
1. It's all mental. This is going to be fun. Tell yourself. Tell your spouse. Tell the kids. Tell the neighbors, the grocery clerk – random people soliciting for political campaigns at the front door – tell them all. The driving is going to be fun. You're looking forward to the drive, to spending all that quality front-seat time talking, to seeing the countryside at eye level. To the heaps of money you'll save over the privilege of having your children's shoes x-rayed . . . Whatever – but really – talking – especially about what's going to be fun will actually help it be fun, even when you've somehow missed the entrance to the New York State Throughway and your husband is gesticulating wildly at you, at the wadded up map in your sweaty hands and screaming "Did you see it with your own eyes?" Reminding yourself that this is fun will also help this to become a precious memory and not the final proof that your husband is, in fact, something that rhymes with "nick".
2. Bring earplugs. This is both a part of number one and obviously distasteful in addition to being grossly unsafe. But you're only human. My husband always brings ear plugs in case all three children are crying and I'm still at it about the stinginess of the hotel towel situation from the previous night's stay. He's never actually used them, but the fact that they're there, sitting on the dashboard, that's all he needs. It's like having a plan to fake your own death – sure, you don't think you're ever going to use it – but just knowing that your plan is to get on a Greyhound bus, head to Alaska and work the fishing industry is enough to get you through the day. But perhaps now I've said too much.
3. Bring a secret stash for the kids. Cheap, potentially disposable and here-to-for unseen toys . . . have a sack of 'em stashed away. This is actually the best advice you'll ever get in life. I don't know where my own mother came up with it – but I remember the invisible ink travel trivia books and the plastic slide picture puzzle of all 50 states more than whatever stretch of highway we were on. When things get ugly, you go to the stash. Construction in Chicago? Here, have you seen this hot wheels transformer? Forty-five more miles to dinner? May I interest you in this stuffed monkey with magnetic hands and feet? The toys need not be terribly nice – I get most of my stash from rummage sales and the like – the key components are for it not make too much noise (for reasons too obvious to mention, and yet – you will make this mistake, and curse yourself and the entire state of Illinois for it – re: talking Elmo phone)it should not have to many parts that can get lost under the seat, and if it should perhaps be thrown from the back of the van to the front, it should not be solid enough to kill the driver.
I picked up Hulk Hands for our 1,600 mile trip to Portland, Oregon, last summer – big stuffed forearms that made a smashing noise and repeated Hulk-y phrases whenever they made contact with anything. "Hulk Smash" as a 3 and 5-year-old boys beat the daylights out of each other in the back. Too loud yes, but then my husband wore them for the last 75 miles, and it helped him arrive feeling fresh and ready for adventure. It's all about the stash.
4. Bring a secret stash for you, too.You can't always rely on Hulk hands. Forty hours of This American Life downloads kept us in a relatively "normal" mental state on a cannon ball run to my grandfather's Floridian funeral when I was too pregnant to fill up on pre-flight valium and beer.
Deviance can always perk up a highway. Chocolate-covered raisins the kids didn't know we had – when they (HAH!) had carrots for bedtime snack kept us going through a ridiculously severe thunderstorm. "When the lightening flashes, you check for tornadoes." "I don't think you can see them in the dark." "That's why I want you to check when there's lightening!" We didn't pull into Louisville, KY until 1:30 in the morning – but we were already laughing about the storm. There was less laughter when a man was being arrested for vagrancy in the lobby of the hotel, but I have no pithy strategy for that.
5. Eat Breakfast in the Car. If you're driving – say – 800 or 900 miles each day, you can't get around the fact that you're going to be spending a good amount of the day in your car. And the car can be boring. Breakfast in the car won't solve all your problems, but it's a community event that will actually solve some of them. On the plus side, it's messy and slow. On the down, it can require a cooler with fresh ice, not one with cool water and slushy, do-you-feel-lucky string cheese. But by the time you've gotten everyone's granola mixed into their yogurt, distributed spoons, collected the sticky napkins and passed out juice boxes you've knocked out the first 50 miles. And hey – was the free continental breakfast under the bored gaze of the hotel staff going to be that much more pleasant? Or less sticky?
6. Drive while they sleep. There is NO POINT – let me repeat – NO POINT to stopping between say 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. It's 6-ish or it's midnight – end of story. Stopping in prime time will only mean that you have over-tired, amped children who cannot do anything but jump from bed to bed and shriek with laughter; you will not be able to do anything buy lie on the bed shrieking "be quiet!" and the front desk will begin a series of phone calls requesting you to, for the love of god and the cranky trucker beneath you, shut up.
There are two acceptable schools of thought for the road trip night – the first is to stop at a reasonable hour – say 6 p.m., have dinner and let the kids splash around if the hotel has a pool or just run them in the lobby. This is the way I grew up, and when I travel with my parents and kids, it's still the way we roll. (Oh that's right, I've road-tripped with my parents and kids in the same van. I'm more bad-ass than you thought). The pool rules – but it's less miles a day – and as much as I love the car – I'd rather spend two extended days than three shorter ones. You can get a good 250 miles in after dinner.
Which brings us to Drive While They Sleep.
Now it's bedtime guys. Everybody has a blanket. Everybody's been to the bathroom and had snack. No more talking. "Okay, I said no more talking. OK, if you talk again I won't respond. I'm not responding. I love you very much honey, but I'm not talking to you anymore tonight because it's bedtime . . . this can be a rough 30 to 45 miles – and I did once have a 5-year-old stay up until midnight just to prove a point – but if you stick to this, (and you're not cheating and attempting this at 4:30 in the afternoon) the children will fall asleep. Now, you and your spouse are in the car, and there's nothing but a black stretch of road beyond you, a wasteland of yesterdays behind you and time. Talk. And talk and talk. Look for a baseball game on the AM dial from someplace half way across the country. Let go.
7. Make it part of the trip. I'm not insane, getting there is not half the fun. But it's part of the fun. This is where all the "talking it up" you did leading up to the trip comes in – and also – where you'll create what really will be "treasured family memories." You'll have already spent weeks telling the kids what you'll do in the car (which is of course, separate from the secret stash): Look, mama got these finger puppets – we'll make up stories! We'll read every single one the Captain Underpants books! We'll learn origami together! On the road you've got hours with your kids and no – and I mean no distractions – save the New York State Thru-Way interchanges – which may I say, are surprisingly poorly marked. But to the matter at hand – you've got hours with your kids and finally time to be the mom with all the time in the world.
I spend a couple hours of each day in the back seat – a novelty my changelings can't get enough of. My mere presence amongst them is hilarious. And it breaks down the day into parts that everybody can look forward to. In just 100 miles Mama's going to come back there. Hey honey, in just 100 miles I'm going to go to the back seat so you can listen to classic rock on the radio and eat that entire bag of beef jerky without me complaining about the obnoxious smell. After dinner, in the car, they pick a film, I climb into the backseat again and we watch it together. (Sure, I'm a die-hard Luddite. I say "no" to the built-in DVD for everyone – no one needs that much ease and comfort – but i do cotton to the 1950's iconic "family around the TV sharing a moment" tableau – if you count me holding the "TV" in my lap and watching Sponge Bob Square Pants as an iconic tableau – and I do.) And while I'm not going to say that gathering up banana peels in the dark of the backseat and arguing that the Muppet Movie is too a good movie and if they'd just give it a chance for three seconds without that sour look on their face they'd probably love it as much as their mom does and it's way better than watching Cars one more time – all of that – it's not bad.
8. Organic Yogurt Vs. Little Debbie peanut butter cheese crackers. Be easy on yourself. Really, you're only on the road for a few days at a time. I wouldn't even think of starting a trip without a cooler loaded with organic, whole grain snacks and the best intentions. Yet, when I clean out the car at 2 a.m. in my own driveway there is nothing but McDonald's straw wrappers and undecipherable scraps of cellophane from full meals eaten at 7-11's. You do what you can. There are times when you're just too tired to fill up the cooler with the hotel ice bucket one trip at a time (although if your kids are big enough – and the machine is just down the hall . . .) and then there's the food shopping and the buying of plastic spoons, the complaining that this strawberry yogurt tastes different from the strawberry yogurt at home and the fact that there are only so many days when you can have peanut butter sandwiches for lunch and cheese sandwiches for dinner before you get mutiny. So say you had lunch at McDonald's – why not try dinner at Del Taco?
9. Befriend the big, ugly box stores, just this once. A.K.A. the emergency Hot Wheels.
There's one in particular that I'm thinking about. It's particularly big and ugly and so caters to this type of travel that it actually prints its own Atlas listing every single one of its stores in the nation along with the nearest freeway exit. Yes it's depressing. Yes, the lighting can be soul crushing. And yet, I own the atlas – because equally crushing are the wails of a child and an emergency Hot Wheels and a price-friendly flagon of chocolate milk can soothe a lot of wrongs. Restock the cooler, purchase a cooked chicken for an impromptu car picnic, replace the lost pacifiers, and you're on your way. Anytime you come across one of those exits that have six hotels and six fast food joints pictorially advertised (a 6-by-6 stop, we call it) there's going to be a big box discount store. It will have a bathroom, it will have crayons that haven't melted in the sun, and most importantly it will have the attachment you don't have to make the DVD player work.
10. Ask Around. Pregnant, crabby wife, screaming 2 year old, gas station just east of Nashville, Tenn. Ask. The gas station attendant in this case: is there a park around here? "Why sure, 'bout a while down the road there, on the right." A giant park, with a stream, the best climbing structure I've ever seen and some shade. Even I, crabby and pregnant, wanted to play as soon as I finished my Kentucky Fry C pot pie. This by the way is another reason to eat breakfast in the car – more time for actual fun on the road. The kids trade germs with children from all over the country. Mom can lie in the shade and wish she were dead, just for a little while. And then everybody is good for another 300 miles. In Atlanta we asked for BBQ – we got a Southern family-style chain restaurant. Maybe not exactly the "authentic" we Yanks were looking for – but then again, we found our little bucolic family eating next to a sheriff and a chain gang. Really, the guy sharing his French fries with our 2-year-old son was attached to the guy next to him . . . with a chain. Now that's authentic.
Which is the point of the drive. Yes, it's long. It can be hot, and crowded and slightly nauseating, but it's tradition. As American as largest ball of twine – which I haven't seen, but I have seen the pancake restaurant in the shape of a two-story Aunt Jemima, and so have my kids.

The express pass allowed you to go to a shorter security line and straight to the elevators vs waiting in a long snake line. Had we waited in the line, I do not think anyone would have enjoyed it nearly as much by the time we finally got to the tip. Additionally, the initial line was very short when we arrived in the morning. By the time we left is was really long.

Yes"Ding-Dong King Kong" I'm sorry as a native New Yorker I love the Empire State Building. As a street walker...Not like thaaat... haha... you forget about what things look like from above. It's kind of incredible. The Empire State Building does an amazing job educating you on what you are looking at, which is hard to find in NY sometimes from such a vantage point. The Empire State Building reminds me of how when living in NY you forget to do these things. Just like how we forget about the MOMA, or the Whitney, or the High Line, or McSoreleys (NY's oldest bar). If you travelled to Italy you would frequent ALL of the above, no? If you have the opportunity to do the ride inside I say go for it. Be a kid, l...
We went on a Friday evening. Skip the guys in orange on the street. Price is cheaper inside. We were there a few years...
I am into the Empire State Building! I've been so fortunate to get to go twice recently once for the Yelp event and another time for a walk through. I didn't get to have the real experience of buying a ticket and waiting in those lines but I did observe for awhile and they seemed to move quickly and get people through... for such an ancient maze like building I think they run it pretty well. Staff was all super friendly for the most part, I imagine their job isn't the easiest being asked constantly the same questions in many different languages, but they did their best. I still have yet to make it up to the 103rd floor and truthfully I don't even know if I could handle it... have to stay tuned for the nex...

Lawrence Frank away from team indefinitely
Frank left the team before Tuesday's preseason opener against the Washington Wizards and hasn't been back since. "He's taking care of his personal situation," coach Jason Kidd said on a conference call with reporters Thursday.
An official with the team said there's no timetable for Frank's return at this time. Frank left Detroit last season for six games in March last season to attend to his ill wife, but it's unclear if that's what's keeping him away from the Nets this time around.
When asked what the team was missing from Frank's leave of absence, Kidd joked, "his height."

Mdust - Perl extension for Mdust nucleotide filtering
use Bio::Tools::Run::Mdust;
my $mdust = Bio::Tools::Run::Mdust->new();
Perl wrapper for the nucleic acid complexity filtering program mdust as available from TIGR via http://www.tigr.org/tdb/tgi/software/. Takes a Bio::SeqI or Bio::PrimarySeqI object of type DNA as input.
If a Bio::Seq::RichSeqI is passed then the low-complexity regions will be added to the feature table of the target object as Bio::SeqFeature::Generic items with primary tag = 'Excluded' . Otherwise a new target object will be returned with low-complexity regions masked (by N's or other character as specified by maskchar()).
The mdust executable must be in a directory specified with either the PATH or MDUSTDIR environment variable.
mdust, Bio::PrimarySeq, Bio::Seq::RichSeq, Bio::SeqFeature::Generic
Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.
Reporting Bugs
Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:
Donald Jackson (firstname.lastname@example.com)
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : new
Usage : my $mdust = Bio::Tools::Run::Mdust->new( -target => $target_bioseq)
Purpose : Create a new mdust object
Returns : A Bio::Seq object
Args : target - Bio::Seq object for masking - alphabet MUST be DNA.
wsize - word size for masking (default = 3)
cutoff - cutoff score for masking (default = 28)
maskchar - character for replacing masked regions (default = N)
coords - boolean - indicate low-complexity regions as
objects with primary tag 'Excluded',
do not change sequence (default 0)
tmpdir - directory for storing temporary files
debug - boolean - toggle debugging output,
do not remove temporary files
Notes : All of the arguments can also be get/set with their own accessors, such as:
my $wsize = $mdust->wsize();
When processing multiple sequences, call Bio::Tools::Run::Mdust->new() once
then pass each sequence as an argument to the target() or run() methods.
Title : run
Usage : $mdust->run();
Purpose : Run mdust on the target sequence
Args : target (optional) - Bio::Seq object of alphabet DNA for masking
Returns : Bio::Seq object with masked sequence or low-complexity regions added to feature table.
Title : target
Usage : $mdust->target($bio_seq)
Purpose : Set/get the target (sequence to be filtered).
Returns : Target Bio::Seq object
Args : Bio::SeqI or Bio::PrimarySeqI object using the DNA alphabet (optional)
Note : If coordinate parsing is selected ($mdust->coords = 1) then target
MUST be a Bio::Seq::RichSeqI object. Passing a RichSeqI object automatically
turns on coordinate parsing.
Title : maskchar
Usage : $mdust->maskchar('N')
Purpose : Set/get the character for masking low-complexity regions
Returns : True on success
Args : Either N (default), X or L (lower case)
